[clink] [clink] Pickaxe. Coming to Apple TV+ on August 9th. You're the Marine? Yeah, you're the ex-con. Yeah, I did time, but you only got to cast aspersions at me. From the director of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and The Bourne Identity comes a new film. This your first job? I know what I'm doing. I'm a little late for a crit change. Starring Matt Damon. Everybody in New England is after us. And Casey Affleck. Go, go, go, go, go! What are you doing? Taking notes. Taking notes on a criminal conspiracy. The Instigators, rated R. Streaming August 9th on Apple TV+. This summer, during the biggest sporting event of the year, Peacock turns to two broadcasting legends for the Olympics coverage you can't find anywhere else.

Um, I think they mean us. Oh, s***. Um... [clears throat] With an incredible duo sure to take home the comedy gold. Olympic Highlights with Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson. New episodes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Only on Peacock. [clears throat] Uh, okay. So, uh, when last we left you guys, uh... Both Ironhide and Yenwood were blind. Uh, you are still stumbling around the, the, the Tomb of Drauk here, and... Four armed skeleton warriors, uh, have just raided this room, uh, with this, uh, this glyph. Uh... So, everyone go ahead and roll initiative. Oh, man. [snickering] Oh, baby. [laughter] Oh, mama.

I wonder if I have a 10 or 11 of that. Get me some of that 10 or 11 now. There's mine. There it is. I got a 3. It's very impressive. Wait. What is mine? Whew! 16. Ain't bad. Could be better. Love that initiative. Mm-mm. Colt Cabana. I don't like you singing that poo song. 12. 12. Big ol' 12 for Rod Swettler. My initiative rolls always suck. Well, you're a healer. Mine are always great, but my attack rolls are the ones that suck. Ah. I mean, for the healer, I mean, shouldn't it be better if you're kinda, like, back a little ways anyway? Yeah. Just in case, like, like someone needs a heal in that first round for some reason.

For the most part, yeah, except for situations where they jump up on me and I can't get away because my... Yeah, yeah. Heck yeah. Uh, just waiting on... No, I wrote a 28. Okay. Waiting on Thanos. Waiting on Thanos. Uh, and the Skeleton Warriors. Bam, bam, bam. Oh, wow. Nice. You did quite well. I beat one of them. You're welcome. Uh, Thoril, you're up first. Alright. Let's see, Skeletons probably... See, I'm trying to figure out what maybe they're probably low in. I'm gonna try Reflex. Um, I'm gonna Saunter up to number 4 here and do good ol' Vampire Slam. Alright. D20+9.

Yes. 26 versus Reflex. Sorry about that. I thought it was gonna be their AC that was impressive. Hmm. Uh, so that's 26. Yeah, you definitely hit it. Oh, yeah. Is my audio fucking up? Shit. Just turn down your...everyone turn down your headphones just a little bit. Uh, 11 for damage. Okay. And I can push back the target one square. He's dead. Oh, shit. Oh, well, I push his corpse one square. So, you pick this guy up and slam him and he just scatters into dust and bones. It's a trick. So, he's... Uh, so bam. Dead. Somebody describe to me what just happened. I can't see.

Uh, Thoril picked up a Skeleton and he slammed him on the ground. And he's dead. Cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're good. Uh, let's see here. Uh, Skeleton Warrior number 3. *clears throat* Um... Come on. I mean, he just watched his buddy just get slammed. I don't think he'd go after me. He's gonna go ahead and use Javelin. Oh. Oh, and Thoril. Ah. He's gonna aim right for your chestal region too, so... Right for your chesticles. *chuckles* Uh, that is a d20+12. 23 versus AC. If that's wooden and it hits you in the chest, it's enough. Just barely enough. No, no. It's... I didn't know.

Nah. Just barely enough. Wouldn't that be shitty? Like, "He kills you." Stake to the heart. Done. Is my audio still messing up? No, no. Your audio wasn't messing up. I was just picking up reverb from, like, shouting. That's all. It's pretty good now. We're fine. Cool, Leo. Uh, he does 7 damage to you. Hmm. Uh, next up is Skeleton Warrior #2. He's gonna shift 2 over here. And also throw a Javelin at you. Oh, shit. 20. That's gonna miss. Nope. Draconis, you're up. Right. See, I got low hit points, but I got the AC of, like, the bosses. Just to let you guys know, uh, a Skeleton threw a Javelin at you.

A Skeleton threw a Javelin at Thoril, and it hit him, and then another Skeleton didn't miss him. Okay. Gotcha. That's immersion right there. I love it. Alright, I am going to move right here. Stand right behind you, and I'm gonna do a Fireburst, which is gonna be, like, in this general area right here. Okay. Make sure that's, yeah, should be good. Fireburst. Got it. Okay. So that's D20+10 on, uh, start with 2 and then go to 3. Alright, we're going with 2 first, plus 10. Using the hell out of this new move I got. Yeah, you are. And... Diet 29. That'll hit 2. Alright, diet.

Swing your gun for 3. Alright. And... Boom. 27. That'll hit. They are both dead. Double whammy. It's hot in here, what happened? Traconis set 2 Skeletons on fire and they died. I like how we're saying, like, "It's hot, what happened?" We're staying right in front of a giant flame. It's hotter. It's true. Uh, Ironhide, your turn. So I can't actually attack anything with any confidence unless somebody's standing right next to me holding my hand, right? They... you can only attack things within line of sight of someone else, so like, you can, like, Malchus can see 1, uh, Rotswell can see 1, and, uh, Thoril can see 1, so...

Oh, so I can actually move over to here. Yes. Wait, don't step in the flame. Make sure you go left and then forward. I must put my face in the flame before trying to push that thing. This is my seeing eye bard. Not a bard. Jerk. *laughs* Alright, let me just say, I think I want to use Green Flame Blade. I need the Waze. *grunts* Fine. Fine. Here we go. Shaking the ropes. How about a 16? Uh, versus 1 AC? Yeah. Great Nauser, no. What about 17? Uh, no. Okay. *laughs* You know what, since this is the encounter thing, I'm going to use, uh, Echoes of Swordmage. That's a close Blast 3.

Wait, wait, wait. Hold on a second. Uh, Echoes of Swordmagic. Um, Swordmages, whatever. How you used a Swordmage at will attack this turn and it did not hit any target with it. That's the trigger. Uh, each enemy in the blast... Okay, fine. Go ahead. Go ahead. Uh, 20 plus 8. *sighs* D20 plus 8. Watch him, Sunmail. 17... For... what is that? Fortitude. What? 17 to Fortitude. Oh, you rolled 17. 17 versus Fortitude. That'll miss. Alright, well, I'll just sit in the corner thinking. *laughs* Well, you tried twice. Well, you're blind. I mean, what can you expect? Well, what about an 18?

Because that also affects my roll? No. I mean, technically we expected much better out of him, but, you know, he is blind. I mean... Yenward, your turn. Okay. One... Can I move diagonally into the fire? Sure. No. No. Come on. Ow, ow, ow. I mean, you can if you'd like to take some damage. He just falls into the basin. I don't think I can reach him. In five moves. There you go. Yeah, in one, two, three, there you go. There you go. Alright, cool. I'm gonna use Cleave. I'm gonna have the two blind guys trying to attack skeleton one and both of them are gonna miss. *laughs* I'm gonna play tail on this donkey.

Yeah! Ow! Peel his muffin cap back. There it is. 32! That will hit! You crush him underneath your axe. He just goes down. I didn't get to roll my damage? It does not matter. Anything you did to him would have killed him. I wouldn't do it anywhere. Yenward, you killed the skeleton! *laughs* We're gonna say Rob... I'm a winner. I was gonna say, you should like, just fuck with him and be like, "Oh my god, you just killed Thoril!" Now, which one of these four was Brock? *laughs* Wait, what did you say, Rob? I said, "Who's been teaching Yenward one-liners?" Oh. *laughs* Let's search the skeleton remains, see if there's anything.

Oh, of course. Let's get on my hands and knees and loot these skeletons. *laughs* Just feeling around like you're missing a contact lens. *laughs* Besides a few broken shields and a couple of battered hand axes, there's nothing really among the rubble that's worth anything. Yeah, I didn't think we were gonna find anything nice. Okay, then let's go through the door and let's ironhide. You wanna step on the glyph again? I kinda wanna. *laughs* No. Two hundred three times it was positive. Would you like to step on the glyph again, Justin? I'm thinking about it.

Okay. I don't know where it is. *laughs* Yenward, lead me to the... Okay, take four steps forward and then... One, two, three, four, I'm on top of you. No, no, other way. Other four. *laughs* What other four words? Seriously, would you like to step on the glyph again? Uh, no. No. Okay. Yes. *laughs* No, no, I better... I kinda wanna, but I don't. No. No power. Algord. *laughs* Is this the second fight of this game day? First. Let me see here. Uh... You tried to sleep but were interrupted and... This will be technically the first fight of this game day. Okay, but are we gonna try to sleep again?

To get a full night's sleep? Might as well. Okay. I was just asking for action point purposes. I thought we only get action points every other fight, Algord. No, that's in counter power. No, no, no, the action points are once a day type things, I believe. No, no, no, every... Every other fight? In the same day. Like, you reset to one at the beginning. If you sleep for the night, you reset to one no matter how many you had. But if it's the same day, you get a new action point every second battle. Ah, okay. That really happens, though. Yeah, and we should step on the glyph.

So, do we wanna nap or do we wanna just get a thorough healing surge and move on? We should nap so our eyes get better. Um... The now missing door... Oh, yeah. Uh, that's off the hinges. You hear movement in the next room. Alright, yeah, here we better go. Okay. Um, do I have a thing where I can heal people during a rest period or... Okay, there's two issues here. One... Thoril hasn't been able to feed in a while now. Uh-huh. And that's gonna be a concern here. Uh, there's no more wildlife to feed on. You guys have went a few days without that. And any rations you guys have had, including blood, I mean, that doesn't really keep.

So... There's two things you can do here. And that's, you can let it ride. And we're just gonna have to do the bloodlust thing again, where anytime someone's bloodied, there's a chance he could lunge at whatever that might be. Or, um... He can feed on one of you guys while you rest, while you take a five minute break. Uh... No risk of vampirism or anything like that, but, uh, it gives him a healing surge and... Yeah. We should let it ride. So wait, what happens to us if he feeds? Does he take away a healing surge from us? Yes. We should let it ride. But if we, I mean, but that comes back when we sleep.

It's not like a permanent loss of any kind. No. Yeah. We can't sleep right now, though. You know what? Malchus is put up with grosser things in the name of loyalty to his friends. He'll do it. Wait, do I, do I have like an extra healing surge or anything? I can't... No, we have like, like Malchus, like Malchus has nine surges per day and rarely gets hit. He can afford it. Okay. Yeah, Thoril gets like two. How many do I, how do you know how many healing surges you get? Details. Oh, I get nine. Yeah, okay, there we go. I get nine as well, so... Yeah. Damn, surge value for me is 16.

Damn, that's getting hard to think about. Yeah, mine's only 13. So, okay, Malchus, you take the hit this time. If we need to do it again, I'll take the hit next time. Sound good? Malchus just starts slapping his wrist. Alright, so we... Alright, so we've no tongue. We will take one of your surges. So, bam, we have... Hopefully he doesn't go, hopefully he doesn't go to that dark place where he just gets lost in it. If I see his eyes start dilating, I slap him. Alright, so you are given a surge, you fed. So you're good to go. Still good. Does that hold back the crazy, Thoril?

He was getting itchy. That's crawling all over me. Does that bring his HP back too, or? Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that expends. Yeah, you're fine. There. What would you guys like to do here? Are you done messing around with the glyph, or are you moving on? Yeah, we can move on. I vote. Yeah. Alright. You guys move on to the next room. Oh my god. Holy hell. Now, you heard marching from the next room, or from the previous room while you were there. And in streams, ten more of these skeleton warriors, regimented on either side of this small, shallow, waiting pool type area.

They all halt and present their weapons as soon as you walk in. Everyone draw, everyone roll initiative. Ow! Where are we allowed to stand? Right there, by the front of the door there, that's fine. Oh, come on. Goddamn it, I got 21! I'm the bestest! Goddamn it. Go ahead and read off your initiatives as you get them. 24. Oh, 7. See how well that turned out? Hold on one second. Okay, wait. Uh, Rotswell. 21. 21, bam. Tom. 4. 7. Oh, 7, okay. Thoril. 12. Uh, Draconis. 20. 20. And Malkus. 11. Ow! And we'll add all these guys to the initiative tracker. Which is gonna take a minute.

Now it's possible for me to wipe all of them out in one move, but it's like a daily, I don't know if I want to use that right now. This would be the time to do so, because I don't think we're gonna be in a situation in which we have to fight 10 guys at one time. Yeah, but these guys are jobbers. They're not good. The reason you're taking these guys out is, obviously, they, while they were very proficient warriors when they were alive, all of them are rotted away to skeletons, all of their armor is hundreds of years old, they are very feebly trying to protect this tomb, and it's almost unfair.

The only advantage they have is they can gang up on you. That's pretty much it. Let's see here, let's start, okay. Soldier number one, he is going to move up dead last. Fuck, they got a good five on us before we even... Oh, they're still blind, aren't they? They have as... Oh, sorry. They are still blind, yes. So the skeletons have, as you could say, a pack of dog mentality. Uh, yeah. Okay. I mean, they pretty much have a singular goal, they're not... Is there gold justice? God damn it. They're gonna step on the ring. I was gonna say, I made, I didn't know if anyone got the lame-ass reference I made.

I thought that was, and I was like, "Is that a shield reference?" Okay. They are now. They're supposed to be a shield reference. They're supposed to be a sacred place, Tom. Soldier number one is going to take the javelin off his back and whip it at Draconis. Whoa, now. 24 for sure AC. AC's 18. Well, then you're taking seven damage, sir. Okay, who's throwing shit? What was that? Uh, skeleton hit Draconis with the javelin. That's a long throw. That was a long throw. Bastard. Maybe he was an Olympian at one point. Apparently. Uh, let's see here. Uh, soldier number five is going to do the same thing with Ironhide. 23.

For sure AC. Ironhide. Ironhide. Shit. I'm sorry, what was that? 23? Versus my AC? Yeah, that hits. Okay. And that is seven damage. Uh, next up, soldier number six. One, two, three, four, five. He's going to do the same thing to Ironhide. 26. Yeah, it got me. What was that about them being jobbers again? Why, I didn't know they had javelins. They used it in the last fight. Well, he's blind. I can understand. Oh, okay. I was hiding behind a giant stone statue. What did I see? One, two, three. It's true. Alright. Uh, three's going to move right there, and he is also going to flick his javelin at Draconis. 22. 18, yep.

Yep. So that's another seven. Thorold, you should have been in formation. You would have been taking these. Come on now. You should be taking this. You pin cushion you. I only have 50 to help. I guess you do too. Number seven is going to also throw at Ironhide. 21. Uh, it does not hit. That will go wide. Ironhide, your turn. Okay. If you say so. So they are in range to get hit, right? For me? I can see them through somebody else's vision? Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah, that's mostly roleplay stuff, but yeah. Damn. You're getting warmer. Don't fall in the water. Oh, I have the, uh...

It just starts going, "Oh man, this room looks amazing!" I have my other move back, right? Uh, what do you get? Echoes of a, uh, the Sword Mage stuff? I can't see the rest of that word. That's an encounter power. Echoes of Sword Magic. Good, so I have it. Got it. Okay. Alright, I'm going to use Flame Cyclone. Cyclone? Yeah. It's a burst three, so it's going to hit seven and six. You can catch ten as well. Really? Uh, one, two, three. Thank you. Yeah, you can. I can't believe this. Alright, fine. So, six, seven, and ten. Roll right down the line here. Sixteen. This is, I think...

Versus AC? Reflex. That'll miss. That'll hit seven and ten. That's a crit. Okay. Nice. Let's see here. Ten and seven are dead. But I can't even get the full damage. Haha! And you're done, right? Um, I'm going to play a Geass of Assault on six. Alright. Flame Cyclone was used, and next up is Rodswell. Alright. One, two, three. Okay. This is going to be a little bit of overkill if I hit it, but, um... I've never been able to use any of my undead powers, and it's only an encounter, so I'll get it back after. So, I'm assuming these guys are undead, correct? The walking skeletons, yes.

Yes, okay. Then I'm going to use Smite Undead on them. Nice. Whaaat? Uh, let's just hope I hit here, because that would be embarrassing. Nope. I'm assuming. Haha! No. Uh, versus Will, actually. Will. Ah, nope. Oh, damn it. Okay, fine. Seventeen misses, sir. How do these skeletons have such high Will? Seriously. Uh, these are highly regimented soldiers in their day, so... Could I actually... They have enough Will to guard the tomb even after they died. Could I actually, like, are we allowed to do a check for what that giant pole thing is in the middle? Oh wait, would heroic effort help in this situation?

Yeah. Okay, I use it. Okay. Uh, then you hit it. Yeah, I do. Okay. It's just gonna die, right? Like, I don't know, but I really do want to... It's dead. Not only does it die, it erupts. It just bone shrapnel everywhere. Can I make the roll just for fun, though? Sure, go ahead. I've never gotten a chance to do this before, so... Um... Okay. Twenty-three. Damn it. Yeah. Um, also, uh, he gets pushed back three squares plus my constitution modifier. So yeah, huh? Uh, so he's ultra super mega dead. Draconis, your turn! Alright, so I have Fireburst back. And you love this fucking Fireburst.

Yes, I did know I would like it so much. Now, let's get technical so I can see exactly how much... Hold on. One, two, three, four... Uh, we'll just say five. Okay. Alright, now... So you've moved up. Yes, I need... I want to make sure I got as many of these guys as possible in my blast range here. Uh, what is the blast range for Fireburst? It is burst two within twenty squares. Alright, so that would be... You can actually catch, uh, you can catch all five on the right. Like, when it's twenty, is it like just... One, two... Sorry, I'll stop doing that. No, no, no, no, no.

No, Jason, if you're counting only three squares out, you're thinking blast. No, yeah, burst. Yeah, so if he picks... He picks this square, and he counts two squares out in every direction from it, which means his Fireburst can totally catch all of them. Yeah, it could. Ah, so if I pick this one right here, you say? Yep. So then everything, so it's like that right there? Yes. Alright, well, that's what I'm gonna be doing here then. Oh, shit, my bad. No problem. Somebody's going crazy with that stuff. Yeah, I just wanted to make sure. Um, alright. Okay, so we'll run...

Wow, this could be super, super effective. Here we go, we're gonna write down the line here. Start with two, and we'll go right in line. Two. Alright, here's two. Fourteen. This is for AAC? Uh, this is for... Reflex. Yes, Reflex. Okay, that's gonna miss. Four. Alright, four. Twenty-three. That'll hit. Alright. Nine, fifteen. That'll miss. Eight, or three. Sixteen, that'll miss. And one. Twenty-six. Okay. Two. Uh, two of these are engulfed in flame and just drop. It also says that I do, my miss is half damage also, that's gonna... Son of a bitch, you killed all of them. Minions never take damage.

Oh, that's right, they don't. Yeah, they don't. My bad. Too late, you're already in the lead. Hand back. I took half of them, though. Or two of them, did I take two? Yeah. Eh, better than nothing. Fireburst, man, it's awesome. And it, okay. Um, that would be number nine's turn now. He's gonna whip a javelin at you. Damn it. In retort. Nineteen versus AC. Eighteen. Okay, so you are gonna go ahead... Seven more. Uh, hold on a second. Hepatitis. Got the hip sign. We're dropping, guys. I'll be dead within ten years. It's a gift for sharing dirty, dirty javelins. Um... Hold on a second.

Uh oh. Let me restart my thing here, hold on a second. See ya. He's back. My skeletons are within my range. If there are gonna be any left by the time I get to my turn. But you can do a charging one, can't you? I don't know, I can't, it doesn't tell me how far I charge. Well, what's your speed? If you execute a charge, it's your speed. Oh, okay. So he can just move and then another thing, right? Is that... Correct, yeah. The attack will have to be a melee basic attack unless he has an at-will power that says this can be used during a charge. Or any other daily encounter power.

It's a charge. Let's see, what's going on with Bull Charge? Yeah, okay. What happened? Uh, I just wanted to make sure, everything kinda locked up on this end. Like, everything was fine but I couldn't do anything or make any changes to the board, so that was a problem, so I just had to restart. We're all good. Uh, the Javelin hit you, so you are taking another seven damage there, Drakonos. Ow. Alright, down to thirty-one. And number eight's turn. He's gonna swing a Javelin at Ironhide. Nine. Fifteen. No. Uh, Thoril, your turn. Holy crap, finally. Um, I guess I'll move.

One, two, three, four, six there. And, those numbers are small. Three. I'll do Dark Beckoning on three. Um, d20 plus eight. Thirteen versus Will. Uh, totally gonna miss. Shit. Yeah, that's... I'll be here if you need me. What is Dark Beckoning, exactly? What do you do with the Dark Beckoning? It's like a psychic power. It's like your call unto you, something like that? Basically. And then I can pull him up to three spaces, but I know he'd be dead by the time I actually pull him up there. Hey, big boy. Yeah. Malkus, your turn. Okay, yeah, five there is still in my range, I think.

One, two, three, four, five, six, yes. Step there. I, uh... Soul... Soul Eater. Uh, at plus twelve. I hit. Yes you do. He is very dead. Poof. Alright, I've pulled my way. Yinward, your turn. Yes, okay, somebody help me use my bull charge. You gotta hold my horns and just kind of point me in the right charge. Um, we're pretty far away, but... One, two, three, four, five... Right here I'm supposed to be, because I have to move, I have to charge five spaces, right? Somebody can help me, like, figure out what I need to roll. Okay. Let me see here. Bull charge. Bull charge.

You don't have to move five spaces as part of the charge, it's minimum two, but, you know, five is fine. Either way is fine. So long as you've got at least two squares. Yeah. Uh, I don't think you can hit him with it. Really? Because you're pretty far away, you're about... Let me see, one, two, three, four, five, six... What's your speed? Five or six? I'm aiming at number nine, and I have a speed of five. Yeah, you're too far away. But he can move one more space with his move. Right, but then... I mean, all he has is either take another move, or... Oh, you're...

Okay, you're moving again. But... Let me see here. Uh, strength first, and you push the target, and then you shift one square, make a secondary attack against your target. Yeah, you're not in range of it, though, that's the thing. Wait, wait, wait. My range is my speed, and there's only four spaces between us. Right, but you moved one, two, three spaces to get there. But then once I move, I can... The charge is another move. Right? The... There's movement as part of a charge. In there? Let's see, bull charge. He doesn't mention that. Ah, bull charge. All it says is when charging, you can use it in the place of a melee basic attack, but the second move would mean that you've used your attack already.

No, no, but a charge... A charge is a move at which you finish with an attack, so the bull charge just substitutes for the attack you'd normally get. Right, but if he started here... Yes. And then one, two, three, move there... And that was his move action. So his standard action is going to move him and do an attack right now, because he's charging and he'll end all of his movement... Okay, okay. ...plowing into the guy. Okay, cool, cool. Yeah. So go ahead... It's a pretty complicated language here, whatever it is. I'm gonna kill this thing, Tom. Uh, just move right up to nine, and then go ahead and make your attack.

That would be a d20+13. Oh yeah, that's gonna be a kill. I feel it. Oh, critmas! Oh my god! I'm blind! What do you want from me? He's got excuses. He's got nine takes, one step, and just falls on his face. Wow. Um, wow. That's probably my fault. I think I jinxed that one. Um, let me see, one, two, three, four... Oh, someone's gonna get jabbed. Uh, another javelin throw at Draconis. Bashtu! I thought you just said "bashtu". 22? Yeah, 18. That's mine. Seven, and you're down to 24, sir. My god, I'm bleeding! We better not die to- I better not die to skeletons. Uh, three is gonna- Wait, wait, wait, Draconis just got bloodied?

Yes. I just want thanks for owning up to feeding Thoril right now. That could have ended badly. I had to admit, I just wanted to see drama. Oh, look at this! Oh man, that javelin- Oh my god, Thoril! Um, well, left me on the damn bridge. Uh, three's gonna throw another javelin at Draconis. What? 20. 37. You're gonna die. You are a pin cushion at this point, man. You're down to 17. Awesome. Ironhide, your turn. I will, with my minor action, I'm gonna laugh at Draconis. Off his human fluids. I'm gonna go right up here. I'm gonna swing at this number eight. Number eight, okay.

Green, five! Five! Where is it? I lost you in the sun. There you are. I'm gonna swing for 21 against AC. That will hit. No, it will not hit. I'm sorry, that will not hit. What about 22? That will not hit. What about 21? Seriously? No. Okay. So moving on. Oh, I still had that cone of awareness or whatever, the echo of the sword magic. He's not... Oh, no, you used that in this counter already. No, I didn't. Last encounter, yeah, I used the flame cycle in this one. Okay, you're right. You asked if you had it earlier, but you didn't use it. Okay, sorry, go ahead. Yes. Damn it, damn.

Is it 25? Against their fortitude. Yes, that'll hit. No, he's dead. So that will kill it on your second try there. Rodswell, your turn. Okay. Two, three, four, five. So the left half of this room has been cleared out of the wall, shambling skeletons. The other half is striking house on Draconis. Yeah. Okay, I'm going to use healing surge, or healing word, I'm sorry, on Draconis. He gets to use the healing surge plus 2d6 that I roll, so that's plus 12. Wow, that's two sixes. So he gets his healing surge plus 12. Go to your mother. Happy Mother's Day. Wow, really?

I have something called Draconic Heritage, add plus con mod to healing surge value, what's that mean? What's your con? Con, I know it's one of those stats. 13 and 1. Yeah, so I would add 1 to that healing surge. Okay. So you're up to 43. Yes. That was quite the healing. Thank you, sir. No problem. That's what I'm here for. Um, I, that was a miner, so technically I still get an action, but I don't, I don't think I, let's see here. I mean I have a ranged attack, but I don't think anybody is within range, right? Uh, let's see here, one, two, what's your range? It just says standard action range weapon.

Uh, that's one, two, yeah, they're within range. Sure, might as well, right? Does he have a ranged weapon? I have a crossbow? You have a crossbow, yeah, we've discussed that before. Yeah, so just a ranged basic attack, uh, d20 plus 5. Might as well if I have it here. I have 14. Uh-huh, that will miss. Yep. Okay, and uh, I'm cool. Draconis, your turn. Alright, I'm going to... You gonna let some bitch-ass skeletons take you out? Oh, it came close, oh, let's see. Gotta light 'em up. I'm going to, okay it says... Remember, Yenward's up there though this time, so you can't just willy-nilly set things ablaze.

Yeah. Some disembodied voice inferred that I was about to be set on fire? That is a lot of text. I got time for all that reading. Yeah, I know, right? Jeez. I'm going to condense bull charge so I can understand its meaning. Alright, I'm going to, uh... Now when it says "Action Close Burst 3" that means just three squares were like right around my character, correct? Yeah, so that would be like... I gotta move in, okay, here's what I'm going to do. Hold on, you know what? What? I don't even have that many... Alright, I'm moving in. Uh, one, two... There's five, so one, two, three...

Alright, I'm going to do Burning Hands here. Oh no! Now, this won't hurt anybody else, right? This is only going to... Uh, it says "Each Creature in the Blast". That's everyone. Yeah, that's everyone. Okay, well, how about I move four spots? Wait, one, two, three, four... How about I move four spots? That's everyone. Dude, this is like a massive... This is a blast five, this is pretty big. So, wait, oh shit, so five each direction? Four out of that? Yeah. One more square. That's a burst. A blast is when you point it in a direction. Correct. Yeah. Well then, I'm going to do Dragon Breath.

Okay. Blast three. Oh. That doesn't hit Rodswell. It's a blast three, so... It's everybody else. Pick a direction. Where are you aiming this? I'm going to... I'm just going to hit at eleven. Go at eleven. If you step to the square just diagonally down to the left from three, you can hit three and eleven with it. Right here? No, sorry, other diagonal. That's right, I wasn't clear. Yeah, that one. Ow. The one to which someone is pointing. Me trying to... There we go. There we go. Alright, yes. Okay. Okay. So that's a D20+5. Alright. And... Oh! That's the first guy. Three. 21 versus reflex, I'm guessing?

I believe so. R or right? Is that what that... Yeah. Yes. Versus reflex. So yeah. Okay. Twenty-one? That will hit three. Yeah. Now eleven. And eleven, twenty-two. Twenty-two. That will hit both of them. They're both dead. Right. Good. Thank God. Boom. Get me some of that. Still about to catch... The last one on the battlefield, number nine, is... Noin. Whipping out his longsword. Oh. He. And he's going to use just a basic slash here. Thirty-one versus AC. What the... These rolls, man. That was a little crit. That's a seven to Yenward. So next up is Thoril. The fuck hit me? [laughter] Duck!

Yeah. Let's see. One, two, three, four... I'm just... And I'll just Vampire Slam him. Uh, D20 plus nine, twenty-eight to reflex. Oh yeah, that'll do it. Doesn't do it quick. So you Scoop Slam this fucker. And just pound him head first into the ground and he dies. Uh, with this kind of haunting... Gaaaah. And then the room goes silent. Uh, and everywhere around you is just... Just littered with old, rotted weapons and shields and... Bits of leather and lots and lots of bone and dust. What are these things over here? Those are holes. Okay. Okay, well, more importantly, what's all this about?

Uh, that is a magically purified... Well, I mean, you could roll a check, but it's water. Magic water? Can I dip my eyes in it and restore my sight? Um, after the battle... After the heat of battle and the adrenaline starts wearing off... Uh, both Yenward and Ironhide can feel themselves returning to normal. Mama's a miracle. So that means that he loses his buffs too? Yes. Ah. Oh, man. We truly weren't even hindered by the fact that we couldn't see well. Uh, well, I mean, that's... I mean, it wasn't a long engagement. Now, if there were a lot of pillars in the room, something like that, then that would be...

That would be much more... Uh, that would be much more of a problem. Are these anything down here? Uh, those are lit glyphs. Uh, mainly it looks like they're meant to, uh, to give illumination. Something like that. Okay. I'm gonna roll an Arcana check. Okay. Um... Uh, this is D20+8, right? Wait, D20+8? Why didn't somebody else do the Arcana check? Because I might have better Arcana than 8. I thought 8 was highest. Uh, I got 12. I got 12. Oh, okay, I got 12. Oh, I have a 13. Oh, okay. There you go. Do it. I thought you had a 14. No, that's a history, yeah. My history's 14.

Uh, what do you perform the Arcana check on? Oh, and those, uh, um, um, things down here. Glyphs. Uh, those are strictly for illumination. It's just a long, uh... All it is is just to illuminate the room. There's no--you've noticed that there's no fire, uh, braziers, anything like that in here. Get the fuck out of there before we know what it is. Uh, we-- I'm drinking the water. Uh, let's try one on the water now. So thirsty. Oh, arcane, I guess, right? Yeah. What's Arcana, that 14? Ah. Yeah. Uh, your understanding of this small pool of water, uh, is limited, but from what you can tell...

Um, it looks to be completely purified water. Uh, no, there doesn't appear to be anything floating in it or any foreign objects in it. Except for a minotaur. It looks to be completely drinkable. Uh, I think that the vampire should try drinking some of the... One of its holy water. Just to offer me up to it? Yeah, if you drink water, it'll burn him alive. That's... Well, okay, well, you don't plunge yourself inside there, like, put your finger in there. What you tellin' there? Sounds like this is the start of a horror movie. Yeah, it's not hurting you at all, you know, we're tempted.

What are you talking about? He's bathing in it. I don't wanna drink it now. What religion, Jack? Help at all in this situation? Uh... Uh, you could try it? I got a 12. Go for it. Draconis? Alright. Boom. 29. 29 religion check. Uh, you can tell that this room has been blessed by the god Kord. Oh, okay, I'm sorry. Uh, who is the god of storms and battle. Ooh. Uh, this was a chamber that was meant for, uh, kind of relaxation, gettin' your shit together after a battle. Hmm. Yeah. Okay. You feel relaxed inward? Pretty much. Hey, uh, hey, Jarek, why don't you, you're the, you're, you need HP, I mean, you need to rest up, why don't you see if, uh, why don't you jump in and see what happens?

I think Draconis needs some restin' also, I mean, I, I, I, Yeah, I don't wanna, I mean, inward's in there, and it's sure nothin' happens to you guys, so. Alright, fine. I'm made out of magic. I'm gettin' in on some of this action, guys. Anything? Uh, it's, it, nothing, nothing happens to them, other than, um, any blood that's on the out, uh, like, like, like, there's blood on Yenward's fur, and as soon as it hit the water, it just kind of swirls like ink, and then just disappears. Oh, wow. That's what blood does? Try to drink it. I'm not drinkin' it, 'cause I, I like how you're directing this like a porno from the side of the pool.

You, you drink it. Drink it now. I, I'm not, I'm not hurt, so I don't think I could show any effects if I, Yeah, but this is for people to relax after they were in battle. You were in battle, I guess. Yeah, but I'm not injured. I'll have, uh, Draconis drink some, uh, of the water. Why are we trying to drink this? This is like hundreds of years of, like, naked dude that's been sitting in this water. Perfect water, though. And ten minutes of minutin'. Sweaty naked dude. Just to see, maybe, maybe it won't, maybe we don't need a healing surge. Like, that's, Okay, so who's drinkin' it?

Draconis, right? Uh, Draconis, uh, Explodes dead. Have, bits of Draconis coat the wall, um, Oh my God. Uh, uh, as you drink it, you feel incredibly refreshed, and, uh, all the remaining light wounds on you, uh, Have been magically healed. Ooh. I kinda want me some of that. I wanna drink also. Oh, now you want, you want some of that action? Can I drink water? Your throat will rust. That is interesting, you don't, you're a living construct, so you don't eat or drink. Although it says there's no need for you to drink, it doesn't say you can't. I'll drink it. Okay, let's just have you drink it.

Fuck it. Sparks start shooting out of its joints. Does not compute. Uh, you are, uh, it's the same feeling of, like, you don't feel refreshed, you do, uh, Your minor scrapes and scratches have been healed for ten points, uh, health. Somebody already D-fragged on me. Somebody. Anybody else? I'll drink it. Uh, the exact same thing happens for you. I just wanted the health points, thanks. You're also incredibly refreshed. Hey, vampire, why did you jump in there? I don't have any, uh, uh, uh, I don't need to heal. You got a belly full of blood, you just need it.

Good. Enough good things have happened with you guys that, you know, that the, the, The roulette wheel's gotta land on something bad eventually. Why is that true? Why is that the thing? The rune, I warned you guys about the rune, and, and, you guys just kept pressing it, like. I think, I don't think this is a roulette wheel, I think this is, this water is blessed water. And it's healing you guys because it's blessed, but. It won't help me. Yeah, holy water can do nothing but hurt Thorol, so. I'd like to splash Thorol with a little bit of water. What? What the fuck is wrong with you?

This is the most nonchalant tea. Would you like to splash him with a little water? No, not really. Oh! I would. I'm gonna get way out the hell out of the way, can I, can I do that? Can I? What's all splashy? Can I step back here? You know, fun. Uh, the only other things in this room are, uh, the two pits on opposite sides, uh, the door, Uh, that you haven't went into yet. Uh, and some, uh, some old, uh, what used to be, uh, a bit of food storage, things like that, that have long since expired. A lot of it is just- I'd like to loot the storage. Uh, you pick up some objects that you think, once upon a time, used to be cheese.

Nice. Oh, gross expired dairy. We're talking hundreds of years expired, like this is basically dried powdery dust. Hey, G inward. Yes. Throw the cheese into the water. Oh! It'll get good again. Yeah! Oh my god, he's a genius. Are we going all, just like attempt to combine every object with every object? This is, I've played a lot of adventure games, I've played King's Quest, let's do this. We're gonna throw it in the hole. Okay, throw it in the water. What happens, Jason? Uh, again, it's mostly dry powdery, uh, when it hits the water, uh, it takes a few seconds, but it, like the blood, disappears in the water.

There you go. Now we've made cheese water. Now let's all grab Thor and throw him down one of those, uh, pits. Do we have any bottles? Empty ones? Mm-hmm. Uh, no, the only bottles you have are the three health potions you guys picked up. Let's empty those! Empty those potions. So no one has any bottles or buckets or anything like that. You guys are gonna carry a bucket with you if you did have it? I can be the bucket. The balls pop out of his mouth. Oh. Yeah. Okay, well, I guess let's move on. I understood that reference. Thank you! I think everybody did. Don't take that away from him.

What? I'm sorry, you're right. I'm a jerk. Uh, so you guys are continuing through the door? Yes. Uh, just beyond the door, there's a set of staircases. One second. Yeah, okay. How much do these, uh, uh, potions heal for? Our healing ser- the healing surge value of the drinker. Ooh. So I think for all of us it's more than ten hit points. Yeah. Alright, never mind. Sorry. Um... Actually, I think it's for ten, Rob. Oh, is it? Oh, wait, I think you might be right. Yeah, I think it's for ten. Right. I'm gonna empty out one of my potions and put water into there. That heals you for ten.

Yeah, I know, but it might do something later on, like, oh, it also cures herpes. And I need to find that. You plan on getting herpes? Who knows, I might already have electrical gonorrhea. When we get back to Winterhaven, who knows what'll happen when we get back. Uh, alright then, uh, you... Okay. You have emptied your potion out and instead refilled it with the water. You know, Jarek, I'm just gonna say, maybe you should have gone ahead and drank that potion, gotten yourself up to full health, and then filled the bottle with the water. Well, he poured one out for his homies.

Lapped it up off the floor before it seeps in. Yeah, I'm gonna lap up four health points off. I should have done that. You guys, just beyond this door, there is a long staircase that leads upward. The only flickering illumination you guys get are from scattered torches that are on the walls leading up this long, winding staircase. At the top of the staircase, you guys are continuing on, correct? Yes. At the top of the staircase, there's a large set of doors that swing open as you approach. And these doors, unlike the large wooden doors that you've seen throughout the rest of the tomb, are much more decorative.

Like, a lot of time has went into these. They're also made of stone. So these swing wide open as you approach. And on the opposite side of the door is a huge room. Oh, shit. That looks serious. So, you guys are right in here somewhere? Super serial. I'm sorry, I didn't see that. Where is it? Uh, right anywhere in the beginning there, that's fine. I'm gonna describe what's going on in this room. Everybody else is not in the beginning. Inward's just running through the room. That's fine. Bam! What's going on in here? Inward, go long! Oh, my bad. I only had half the map on the thing I had zoomed in to for.

That's cool, that's cool. Inward's not good at stairs. Is Jokernos also way up there? Who did that? I'm gonna describe exactly what's going on in this room. Alright. In this large, it may have been designed to be a great hall, something like that. On the two sides, there are staircases leading up to these balconies. In the rest of the room, there are large fire braziers scattered throughout. You see a couple of the same statue designs that you've seen in the earlier rooms. And then to the far back, you see six large dragon statues. Towards the back and center of this room, there are two large glowing glyphs.

And in between them is a large throne. And sitting on the throne is a large man with a fiery red beard and long flowing red hair. We've come to the wrong place. Does he look to be alive? He is alive, but it looks like it's unnaturally so. So he's a ghost. Not a ghost. Picture someone who should have probably, well he absolutely should have died centuries ago. Oh, like Last Crusade. Yes, something like that. But instead of being emaciated and frail looking, he's well over seven feet tall, like several inches above seven feet. And this huge stocky man. And as soon as you cross the threshold and you're walking into this great hall, every step you take just echoes throughout this entire place.

It's incredibly acoustic. You just hear everything. If someone dropped a fork on the other side of the room, it would just ring through this entire hall. And as you walk in, this large booming voice greets you. Welcome, champions. I've been expecting you for quite some time. Well, I guess we could assume that you're Drake. Or Drauk. Sorry. You're a dragon? Drake and Josh. Drake first impression. Awesome. That didn't happen. That's not real. It's for Drake and Josh. It's okay. It's the Disney Channel guy. I mistook him for Drake. Drake and Josh. Or a bee singer. Drake.

Wait, was that Nickelodeon or Disney Channel? I forget. I don't know. I didn't watch it. Sure you didn't. We can assume. I am. I've been expecting you. Every time this guy speaks, he's not shouting, but it feels like he is. There's a presence about him every time he speaks. It's almost like a force coming out of him. Like a booming voice? Almost, yeah. Okay. Like a very large, barrel-chested man. And he has, "I assume you've come for the artifacts." What artifacts? Yeah, to tell you the truth, we're not sure what we came for. We came to pay for the tasteful decor.

I think we have something that might belong to you. I assume you're talking about the book. Correct. The book allows me to see through it. I've watched you grow as fighters for quite some time. Did you see everything? Didn't we have one time when we drank too many spirits? I don't know. Malchus, you got anything? What did you think? Other than we were mighty warriors. Like, what... How do you judge us? I've watched you grow into experienced fighters, but you have much to learn. I assume you've come here to try and loot this tomb. I was thinking about it, if that's okay.

That's a Thoril one, I mean, I don't know. Wow. He belonged for the ride. I'm sorry, I made Draconis. Wait, what? We came here searching for secrets. We assumed you wouldn't be using anything anymore. You vanished ages ago. We assumed you were dead. I vanished because I grew weary of being used by weaker, inexperienced leaders. I became nothing more than a tool. I refuse to be part of that lifestyle anymore, so I sealed myself and my men away. I'd like to introduce you to our friend Jarek here. Jarek Ironhide. He seems like you two might share a lot of the same ideals.

You mentioned before that we also have much to learn. Are you implying that you could teach us something? I have no such interest. Do you have any interest in us at all whatsoever? I'm not sure. He studies you all for a few minutes. And then he says that he watched you come here. And he's very sorry to inform you after your perilous journey that there's nothing here for you. He will allow you to live in the lower levels if you please, but you can't leave this place. I'm going to write an insight check on the idea that there's nothing here for us. Is that alright?

Sure. I think he's mostly trying to say that he's not going to give you anything. He just says he's not going to let us leave. Well, I want to know specifically if there's anything here for us. Is it the 21? Like if there's anything cool, basically. Oh, there's plenty of cool shit. It's not that what he's saying is that he ain't giving you anything. That's what I thought he was saying. And he thinks of himself very highly. He's not, it's like, you're not taking it from me and I'm not giving it to you, but I can't let you leave, so... So back that ass up to the lower levels.

So enjoy your stay, but I'm afraid you've not only wasted your time, but I can't allow you to leave and show anyone else where this place is. Oh, okay. He just answered what I was about to ask. Okay. Um, hey Ironhide, why don't you run an Arcana check on those glyphs real quick? Are we even going to be able to see this being all the way back here? It doesn't matter. Just, I mean, for roleplay purposes, this is just a room right now. Bam! 18. Uh, that's a perception check? No. Arcana. Arcana. Uh, you are picking up some serious mojo in this room. Ooh. Um, hanging off of Drax's belt is a small gold chain attached to what looks to be a dragon's claw gripping a small, uh, uh, white orb.

I want that. History? History? Uh, that would be Draconis. I'm not done. Oh, sorry. I'm so not done. Um, you are also picking up, uh, several magical items, uh, in a chest towards the back of the room, which appears to be largely, like a large ceremonial chest. It doesn't look like it's been opened in ages. Um, on top of that, you are also there next to, uh, next to Drax's throne, uh, in one of the armrests is seated a very large, uh, it looks like a large white pearl. I want it. Uh, it looks like, uh, about the size of a magic 8-ball, something like that.

Uh, go ahead now. What were you gonna do? History, Draconis. Yep. History check. What do you got, a 14? Yep. Awesome. 31. Boom. Uh, history check, you recognize that white pearl right away. Well, really now. Uh, that white pearl is the orb of light. What's that? Which is a very strong holy relic. Mmm. Oof. I want it. You can burn a lot of thurls with that. Call it free. But I have holy scuff. Do you have any particular deity? Like, is it a particular deity's holy relic, or just holy generally speaking? Uh, generally speaking it's a holy relic, but it's, it's largely used in the slaying of undead creatures, and, uh, on top of that it's been known to have healing properties.

Oh. Genward, I know it's shiny, but I could use that. I want, I, I get the gold thing, huh? The, uh, a lot of those magic items. The top of corrupt governments, 'cause... How about we wait until we see if we survive or not, and then we start dealing things out. Oh. The, uh, the... How about his shoes? (laughter) Um, the, the, uh, the small orb that's on his, uh, hanging off of his belt, uh, you recognize that, uh, as an item that is, uh, as an item that can manipulate time. Oh. Interesting. Yeah. Okay. Man, you guys, this is, this is it. This is the big time. What kind of checks will we need to load on these guys back here?

Um, you can use perception check real quick. Okay. I think somebody has a, uh, passive, uh, you know. Does anybody have a higher perception than +8? No. Not... Perception? No. Passive perception of 15? Yeah, my passive's 18, but that hasn't been doing very much, so I think I'm gonna roll. But it's +8, so I just wanna know if anybody had a higher. But no? Nope. Let me know when you need Bluffer Intimidate. What's that? I said let me know when you need Bluffer Intimidate, but otherwise I'm pretty lousy at skills. 25. 25. It is. Um, looking around the room, uh, specifically the dragon statues, uh, they appeared, they, they, along with the, uh, the two humanoid statues, uh, on either side of the throne, appear to be, uh, nothing more than, uh, decorate, uh, uh, decoration.

Thank God. Thought we were about to have to fight dragons. So far the statues have never gotten up and actually charged us before inside this place, so let's hope that holds here. Um, what you notice about Drakh himself is the guy is clad in what appears to be pristine, uh, pristine leather armor. Just clad head to toe. The guy, uh, is basically wearing, like, bandoliers around, it's, it's like a battle harness more than anything. Um, strapped to the back of that is a very large battle axe. Mm-hmm. Can word? Can word? Can we actually strip him of that armor?

Uh, from his cold dead body, yes. Then do stuff to his body, right? Let's try to do diplomacy checks and see if we can convince him to give us all the stuff. Give me that armor. That'll work. Give me a shoes. I feel like that one's a tall order. Okay, okay, I don't want any trouble. This guy sealed him, let me, let me give you a little, because you did a history, this guy, this guy sealed himself away because he feels like he was being used as a weapon and nothing more. There was nothing more this guy could offer the world than to be used by weaker men who, who didn't lead from the battlefield, they led from palaces or they led from, you know, bunkers or forts, they didn't, you know, like this guy worships strength.

He's real into the God court, so this, like, he, you know, if he respects you as warriors, but he's not going to give you anything. None of the things here should be loose in the outside world, according to him. These weapons are too powerful. I disagree. All right, I guess we start fighting them, we just run right in there, start breaking arms. I was going to ask another question of Drauk if, unless you just want to start breaking faces. No, go for it. Ask him. Okay. Mighty Drauk, you have been here for ages now. Do you, do you desire demise? Do you not go bored in this tomb?

If I don't guard these objects, who will? Yeah. That is the penalty for my strength. I see. Drauk, you are a man of intimidating legend and presence, but I hate to inform you that we will be allowed to leave this place. And if you try to stop us, we will give you a death worthy of your legend. Greater men than you have tried. And with that, he stands up from his throne, reaches back and pulls the mighty Paddleaxe Stormrender. Oh, that sounds sexy. Everyone roll initiative. I threw down a roll, mine was that 22 there. 24. 17. All right. 22. You know, it never sounds good when the DM goes, "Okay, that's 26, yes." I just want you guys to understand what's about to happen to you.

Well, I just don't understand, like, is there, I don't, I don't know. No, I just, no, I just, just prepare is all I'm saying. Yes, he's a big dude. I mean, if we started running, I don't, I don't think he can catch all of us. Right, but then we came all this way to run? Like, you know. I know, but you're saying, you're like, is there another way out? Well, I mean, I'm at like, you know, I don't, it was, I thought it was made pretty clear there's no diplomacy solution in this scenario. Like, we've run all the way past him to get to the other exit that we believe is over there.

Yeah. You guys, look, we're going to win this. We're going to be fine. But just in case, Dan, you should probably stay back so you don't lose two characters. I was the guy. Also, I'm the healer, so. You also prove, you also, you know, swore to, uh, Yenward that, uh, I didn't swear anything to Yenward. Question. Is Drakon dead? Um, he is not technically undead. He's about to be re-dead. If any of you have dailies that boost your defenses for the entire fight, make sure you turn this off in the first round, cause. So is this going to be the most boring fucking first three turns?

Cause we're running towards him. Let's say you start out around here. He could just jump off the room. Cause you didn't shout at him across the room. I, I, that was just for role play purpose. Everyone like in a role play scene, everyone's like, should I stay here? It does not matter. It's just, yeah, let's just, yeah, let's just fuck. The battle man is just for battle. So right in there. All right. Now I'm just picturing that in the story. Like, well, it's fine. All right, let's fight. And then we kind of like look at each other and I'll just kind of walk across the room to get a little closer.

Get him, Jarek. That's the spirit. Can I use, um, can I use two miners? Not according to the laws of St. Louis. No, can I use two miners? Um, you only get one miner. So like if I, even if I forgo a major. No, you can trade the other actions down for a miner. You can't do your healing word two times in the same term regardless, but two different miners are fine. Okay. Yeah. Cause I just, I'll throw this out there. Uh, what about the idea of using both mark of victory, which that will give a plus two power bonus to attack roles and damage rules against the target for the entire encounter.

Um, also shield of faith, which would you and each ally in the burst, uh, each target gains a plus two power bonus to AC until the end of the encounter. I like that. So we can all, if we can all get within five squares of me, then I can use both of those on my first turn. Uh, I haven't moved up yet, so I will do that. I was investigating. Well, get like in the middle of all of us. So, cause for some reason we all scampering through the five oceans. I see that we should get in some kind of formation guy. His name's the voice of pain. That's his title. Yes.

It's the voice of bang. It was good. That was good. He's the most terrible part about being the voice. Ian's word. Just move back a little bit. If I move back one more, I won't be able to reach him when it's my turn. Hey, he'll move forward towards you. Yes. Let him come to you. That's I go before him. Oh man. Okay. We're fine. We're fine now. Right now. It's fine. I was raised in the dark. You barely adopted it. Everyone's got a Bane impression for that fucking movie too. And everyone's correct. That's the worst part. Uh, there's two drugs. Um, I'll explain that. We should just make this episode a huge tease, get all the way to this part, then just do Bane impressions for a half hour.

Good night everyone. Then we pick up the next, then we just do group two episodes for like a month. Let's just play some Sins of a Solar Empire for a while and then just do Bane impressions. Are you guys fucking ready for this shit? I'm ready motherfucker. You ready? You're fucking ready god damn it. Right. I am ready. Um, Drauk is getting two turns in the initiative. Makes sense. Uh, the world? Um, as Drauk stands up, he grips his battle axe and kind of slams it on the side of his throne. And this guy is like massive. Just picture it. Like he's almost as wide as he is tall.

He's just this huge, sturdy looking guy. Slams his axe on the side of his throne and the doors slam shut behind you. Oh nuts. And lightning starts to crackle around his weapon. And his eyes begin to glow like a bright white slash blue. Okay. And it's the world's turn. Would it be a good idea right now to delay until after Rod's fall so I can buff everybody before they take their first turn? I can get behind that. If we all delay, I think he might have an AoE attack to just wipe us out. No, but I'm saying he delays until after me and then you guys will all go after me, right?

Like that's... Yes. So everyone would still go before Drauk. Right. Well not everyone except Ironhide because Ironhide is in the initiative after Drauk anyway. So basically we're all delaying to put you at the top of the initiative now and then... That way I can buff all of you first. Okay, that just happens. Sounds good. Your turn. Yeah. Okay. Let's do that. Your turn. Okay, so I'm going to use Mark of Victory which that gives everyone a +2 power bonus to their attack rolls and their damage rolls. Nice. Alright. And I'm also going to do Shield of Faith which gives everyone a +2 bonus to their AC.

AC's nice. +2, got it. Shield of Faith and Mark of Victory. Okay. And now it is the Royal Spirit. Well now all of the people who delayed can reinsert in whatever order they want if they want to go immediately after. Yeah. Well, okay, that's just what happens then. Well no, no, but how many of us had to delay to get Brodswell? Everyone except Ironhide. Yeah, and Drauk. Okay. So yeah, what... Genward, do you want to go off first and we'll all follow up with you? I can't reach him. I'm not fast enough. Oh. Not good enough. Well you can move though. You can move a couple...

Oh yeah, okay. Malchus will take the initiative. Malchus will go here. And Malchus will shoot him with Warlock lasers. He's beautiful. That would be great if you had a power coke with Warlock lasers. Eldritch Bolt, range 10. He's in range. So, d20+10. Oh, snap. Wait, wait, wait. My shield power is what kind of action I've previously... I told... I advised you all to set off your shields and then didn't do it myself. Emerald Shield is a miner. Okay, so I moved. My miner action is to put up Emerald Shield, which will add... Does that stack with the other? It doesn't stack with the other, but I also now have a +2 to reflux.

Okay. So, worth doing. And it also has another power that it can trigger. And remember these bonuses. I'm trying to jot them down as we go along, but I won't remember just in case I forget. Yeah, I'll keep track of mine. That's fine. Now Eldritch Bolt. Eldritch... yeah. Great. All right. That's a 13. That will miss. Okay, the number is that I took charge. I set an example of... Example of failure. I'm sure he's afraid. Your Eldritch Bolt goes wide and he just kind of eyeballs you with fury. So, Malkus went after that so... ...thoral, I guess? It's your turn? Sure, I'll go.

First is a free action. I use my daily battle harness +1 that gives me another +1 to AC. What kind of bonus is it? What do you mean exactly? It should say a something bonus to AC. Like, it should have a word before it. That's an enhancement. Okay, so that does stack it. So you get +3 to your AC total. Mm-hmm. Wait, I thought he had +2 or... this one was a +2 or a +1? It was a +1. Oh, okay. I thought he said +2. Phew. That's the oral of juicing. Gonna be hard to hit. You'd be surprised. Oh. Wow. You're not fucking around here with this guy. This is not a fucking skeleton.

This is not a fucking game. [laughter] I have a feeling none of us are gonna be able to hit him the most we crit. It's gonna be bad. I'm... Sorry, I'm just sort of looking through my stuff real quick. These are the moments when you're like, "Man, what all do I really have?" [laughter] [sigh] Don't forget the +2. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just thinking about popping on another daily, considering that first daily was a free action, so... I'll just do a ranged attack real quick. We'll make sure I get in range. Oh, crap. Two, three, five, one, two, three. Okay, so that's... [sigh] Center stage.

I don't like being this close, but I don't got much of a... Like, I don't... Yeah, I don't got much of a choice. Me neither. Okay, so I guess I'll do... Don't get too close now, guys. I guess I'll do Dark Beckoning, which has a range of five. To draw him closer. I don't have much health. No, I'm just throwing it. I just want to make sure you know. Is there a thing as a melee, or like a ranged basic attack which does nothing? No, no, draw him closer, because I can reach him. Mine next turn. I don't like hearing, "I can't do much else" on the very first turn. That's not good.

Well, we don't know him yet. Volume 10, Dark Beckoning. Alright, so I have the flower. Let's see, I want to make sure I've got everything. Alright. Oh shit, 19 versus Will. That's gonna miss. Fuck. This looks like he's got high will. I'm sure he does. You all done? Wait, all of us? No, no. The way you said that, I was like, "Wait, what?" That's it? I can kill you now? Alright, you guys can leave. We'll come back, eh? He's Canadian. He's super understanding. Yeah, I guess that'll be it for now. Draconis, your turn. Right. You notice you're in the back there? Yeah. He's an age.

Alright, I'm gonna move up a little bit though. I've been reading this one move the entire time. Let's see. One, two, three, four. Ah, five. FYI, I've got a... I can do six. I can do six, I guess. I've got an encounter power that doesn't have a description or anything to it. Let's see here. Insidious comment. It sounds like they made vampire snarkiness into a power. [Laughter] This guy's a dick. Fuck psychic damage. Insidious comment. Insidious commentary. Okay. Let's see here. That does sound like vampire snarkiness. It does. It's a range five. Oh, that is helpful.

Yeah, d20 plus seven versus will. Oh, I mean not so much. Attack is charisma plus two versus will. That's weird. Charisma plus two versus will. The target grants combat advantage until the end of your next turn. And your next attack against the target this turn deals 1d6 extra damage on the hit. Hmm. So that's kind of useful. Kind of. What you doing, Malkus? I took my turn. Who else needs... Draconis. I'm sorry, Draconis. Yes, I am going to summon Magma Beast. Ooh. But he's only a rumor. Right. Let's see. The only thing it says, uh... You summon a medium of Magma Beast in unoccupied space within range.

I don't know exactly what my range is. It should say right there. Hold on one second. Let me see. That's a daily power summon. Minimum minor action range ten. Oh, okay. Range ten. Okay. Yeah, you can put it right up next turn if you want. Yeah. Yeah. The Magma Beast has a speed of four, eight while charging, and a resist five to fire. You can give the Magma Beast the following special commands. Special... melee... So it gets a melee basic attack. If you haven't given the Magma Beast any commands by the end of your turn, it attacks an adjacent creature or charges the nearest creature it can charge.

Hmm. All right. So. Do I get a little icon? Yes. I'll take care of that. Okay. And ten. So yeah, I want to put them like right up on there. I'll put them right in this area. You know what? Right here. Put them right there. And save it. And right there. All right. So it's right next to drop. Cool. So that counts as a minor. I can still do another move. Is that what that means? Sure does. I am also going to conjure my flaming sphere. Okay. Conjure a medium flaming sphere in an unoccupied square within range. The sphere occupies a square. It's also range ten. So there's your sphere and your Magma Beast.

They are both out. All right. First I'm going to have my Magma Beast attack. Which is melee one targets get one intelligence versus reflex. One D plus intelligence modifier fire damage. One D ten plus four then. Okay. That is if it is Magma Beast especially on standard targets. One creature intelligence versus reflex. So that would be your intelligence versus its reflex I guess? The caster stats are used. Yeah. So that would be what? D twenty plus four? Or is it just the base intelligence versus his reflex? It's going to be his intelligence modifier, half of his level and the bonus for whatever magic implement he's using.

So you have a plus two one? Is that correct? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I give him the plus two. Okay. Well, so no, no, but his one is plus two. Oh, the one. Sorry. Yeah. Altogether his math looks like three plus four plus two and then the plus two from Dan. So plus eleven. Plus eleven, yeah. Yeah. So ten plus eleven. No. D twenty plus eleven. Oh, twenty. Okay. D twenty plus eleven. All right. Ready? Yeah. And that's my roll. Thirty. That'll hit him. So that's one D ten plus four. That'll be fire damage. And he takes ongoing five fire damage. Yes. And it's slowed. Also. Yeah. That would be.

Where is the, I see the twelve, six. Where's the ten? D ten is the fourth one. Yeah. You get a plus two on that. Hold on. Hold on. Rob, what? Yeah. Dan's power bonus supplies and Draconis's implement bonus supplies. So it's going to be D ten plus eight total. Jesus. Yeah. All the math still stands. So. All right. Here it goes. And fourteen. Fourteen. Okay. All right. So your magma beast strikes him. You do fourteen damage and he is taking five damage at the beginning of each of his turns. Okay. And my sphere doesn't do anything until it's his turn, I believe. Okay. Any creature that starts their turn adjacent to the sphere.

So yeah. Okay. Yep. That's going to be my turn. Adjustment let out yawn. That means the podcast can begin. Not in. Just cleared my throat. Yanward, your turn. Yes. Okay. Since this is the only thing I can do, I'm going to give it a shot at bull charging. Okay. We're just going to rush him. Yeah. He's still sitting on his thunders. We keep pushing him back down. Twenty eight for bull charge. Yes. Okay. That is AC. Fortitude. I'm pretty sure. Fortitude will hit. Nice. Okay. Here we go. And I get to roll forty eight plus seven. Okay. Is that with my plus two? Hmm? Is that with the plus two that I added earlier?

Oh no. So I added two more. So it's forty eight plus ten? Mm hmm. Cool. We're going to kill him before Ethan gets us. I'm going to fuck you up drunk. Don't you have to move up? Yes. I got him. Come come. And boom. Uh, twenty five damage and he's not prone. And he's knocked over the back of the throne and I take his spot in the throne. Uh, yes. You can totally do that. Brace his neck. So you hit him. He topples back over his throne. Nice. That sucks because now he's free. No, Tom, if you don't move at that point, then his next move, his next action he has to move, right?

And that'll be getting up. So he won't be able to like... No, but my bullet charge says that I push the target one square and then I have to shift to the square. Yeah. Oh, okay. Gotcha. So I got the throw. Yeah, so the picture is like that. All hail. You're still adjacent to him. Yeah. So you are standing in his throne and he is laying down in back of it. Uh, you are done now, correct? Yes. Uh, Drock's first turn here. It's pretty upsetting. Uh, he stands up and shouts, "Enough!" And it booms through the entire hallway. He raises his axe into the sky and calls forth a lightning storm.

Uh, this is a close burst 10. Oh, jeez. So that's everybody and everything around here. Uh, what I'm gonna do is just run down the line here. Uh, D20+14 versus Reflex. So as I call out your name, just tell me if it hits you. Actually, Reflex, Rodswell is out of range. Rodswell, oh wow, yeah, sorry, I didn't zoom out far enough. You're right, Rodswell is out of range. Everyone else, though. Where do we find a Reflex? Uh, it is on your dudes. Oh, there it is, okay. That's also the tab. Uh, Yennward, 28. Hit. Yeah. Uh, Thoril, 33. Yep. Uh, Ironhide, 16. Miss. Uh, Malkus, 16.

Miss? Yeah. Uh, and Draconis, 17. Miss. Wow. You didn't touch none of this? Right. Uh, so I did hit Thoril, and I did hit, uh, Yennward, so that is, uh, 1410+11. Jesus Christ. Shit. To be fair, does that count for the two things, the contractor two? Do you have to go up to those? Um, do they have hit points or do they just disappear after your next turn, one of them does? Let me check that just real quick. I didn't see anything about the magma beast about his health or anything. I'm gonna have to see through the rooms. Okay, that's self-disgust, my bad. This is really, 40 dnc10+11 can pretty much kill me in one hit, just about.

The, um, I know the flaming spear takes a minor action to sustain, the magma beast, if you don't take an action to give it a command, will act on its own, but Draconis is slowed if he doesn't give it a command. Right, but how does it die? Does it die or...? I don't think it's targetable, uh, I can, I have the rules if you want me to grab the book and go check, the summoning rules are in, like, complete arcane, I think. Oh, let me, you do that and I'll look it up on this end, 'cause I, I wanna make sure, 'cause that, seems like they, one of them disappears after, like, two turns or something, I remember doing something.

I wanna save the spear, go ahead. Uh, let me see your character sheet here. Uh, the summon, so here's, um, duration, uh, unless the summoning power states otherwise, the summoning creature lasts until the end of the encounter and then disappears, as a minor action you can dismiss the creature if you like, the summoned creature's maximum hit points, uh, uh, equal your bloody value, so, uh, and it uses your defenses, not including temporary bonuses or penalties. So I do get to swing on it. So it still missed though, right? I didn't swing on it yet. Oh, on it, okay, yeah.

So I'm gonna run down these two as well, so I have hit Yenward and I have hit Thoril, and this was, what was it, d20 plus 14, yes. Uh, let me go magma beast first, 17. That's a miss, that's a miss. And then flaming spear, 34. Oh, the flaming spear is not a summon, it doesn't apply to the summon. Oh, dammit, cause that was a crit. Dammit, dammit. You exploited a tiny little crit. Fine. You wasted your crit. Uh, let's see here, uh, 4d10 plus 11, so. Let's get some wands, let's get some wands. We ready guys? Is this for everybody right here? No, it's for Yenward, yeah, Yenward and Thoril.

So it's down the road like Yenward, and then we roll again for, uh. Nope. This is all just damage, this is just lightning strikes arcing across the floor here. 35. Mmm. And I'm. That's okay, I got a way to handle this. Now, if we had a healer that was up here, we could heal you. I'll be up there by the time I can heal you. He didn't get his turn yet. I'll be home for the whole, he hasn't had his turn yet, really? No, I mean, like, this just happened, the damage just happened, there was no damage before this, so you can't really bark at him yet. Now if his turn comes by and he doesn't heal anybody?

Sure. Oh my god. Uh, it's Drauk's turn again. Yeah, so what's up with that? You never really explained that. Uh. 'Cause he wants one of us to die. No, it, it's, okay. It's not uncommon, firstly, for boss characters to have multiple initiation, uh, wait, hold on. So Thoril has 17 hit points. Mm-hmm. Uh, yeah, so, yeah, Thoril has 17 hit points. Um, now just to be clear, Drauk is slowed, which means he can only move two turns. Um, yeah, it's not uncommon for boss characters, but he also has that time dilation thing on him. So it, it, he's actually manipulating time in a small way.

Mm. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, I see. So, to you, picture the Flash, something like that, to you guys, or to him, you guys are moving slowly. He's moving incredibly fast to you. So when this guy's, like, streaking across the valley, he's moving way faster than someone his size should. It's almost like a teleport. Picture like Dragon Ball Z, that kind of thing. Gotcha. Uh, so, Drauk is gonna take his greataxe and swing downward on, uh, Yenward. Uh, being as hell, you're sitting in his spot. Uh, that's a d20 plus 16, 20. Uh, versus AC. Miss. Uh, yeah, thank god. Suck on that.

Ironhide, your turn. My turn now. My turn, my turn, alright, cool. I am going, like, what is this axe? Thunder or Lightning? Uh, this would be Lightning. Alright, I'm gonna use Fear No Element. It's a daily minor action. It's choose Acid, Cold, uh, uh, yeah. Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Thunder. Until the end of the encounter, you, um, you gain resistance, uh, 5 plus your constitution, which is 1, so I gain 6. Uh, modifier to damage hype, so. Alright, cool, cool. So you have negative, uh, you have, uh, resist 6 to Lightning. Yep. Alright. So is that chair blocking me from attacking straight ahead?

Um, you can see him over it. He's standing over the back of the chair, so you could hit him. Keep him wide right now. Can I do something with these glyphs, because I'm getting dangerously close to it. I feel as though there's some power here. Well, you ran a check on him and you didn't, like, it wasn't very high, so. I can feel the power through the Hulkamaniacs. Go get in on some of that. Go get on some of that, yeah. Oh, jeez. We had so much trouble back then. Um, I'm gonna be a jerk. At least you guys aren't blind for this. Yeah, uh, Whirling Blade. He's how big?

Oh, God. He's like 8 of you. Oh, man. Yes. Cool. Action range of 5, just right. This is basically what you need to look out for. There. Critical miss. Um, wait, was Whirling Blade the one you throw your melee weapon, and then if it misses it goes to the next one, but there's no other, yeah. But there's 10 of you, there's 2 of you. No, no. Alright, somebody else's turn. I'm sorry, sir. Uh, next up is Rottswell. Alright, okay. I'm gonna move closer. You're coming in a little closer. Oh, sorry. 3, 4, 5? 5? Is that better? Am I good? Yeah, you're good, you're good. Okay.

Um, so I will, hm, I will use, uh, Healing Word on Thoril. Well, he gets to use a Healing Surge, which he has an extra one, right? Yes. Okay. And that is also 2d6 from me, so he gets his Healing Surge plus 8. Okay. One Healing Surge plus 8. And his Healing Surge is worth 13, so, uh, you're back up to 38, Thoril. Cool. Um, I would roll in and get Yynward, but I don't, can't get that far, so, um. I got power, I got it covered. I'll be back. Okay. Okay, good. You promised. Um, I will, uh, let's see here, I don't really have any other kind of fun buffing stuff here, I don't think.

Uh, let's see here. Yeah, I can get somebody a Saving Throw, but that won't really help right now. So, uh, I guess I will just move up a couple more and chill out. Seems like a good time to chill out, yeah. It's good. I don't really have anything else to do. I know, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. It was your choice of words. Um. Yeah, I know. You all done? Yeah, yeah. Okay, I'll just do it. Okay. Okay, um. Oh, did, um, did, um, Drakonas's summons happen before or after Drak's initiative? Before. Okay, um, was Drak taking ongoing damage from something Drakonas did? Yeah, Magma Beast.

Yes. Oh, god, yeah. Wait, doesn't that start a my turn, or does it start a my turn? Oh, I forgot to roll a save. Hold on a second. Yeah, he has to, well, he has to take it, and then at the end of his turn he saves against it unless he's one of those special solos that saves at the beginning. No, no, no, no, he's gonna take it, so hold on a second, let me roll just a regular d20 solo. Really? Natural 20. Okay, so that's done. Okay. So he, he shook that right off. Go ahead, sorry. There was a chance of him being damaged, so, anyway. Yeah. Um. Also, wasn't the, wasn't the other summon supposed to do something to him on his turn?

Yeah, only if he starts adjacent to it, but he, he's not blaming anybody, but he got knocked back a little bit, so that would take place. The embarrassment was worth it, though. Yeah, it was awesome. Okay, uh, I will move one, two, three, four, five, I will make my sixth space into that. Does anything happen to me? No. Okay. Well, now we know we can at least step on it. Good to know. Um, so, then I'm gonna, let's see, that's, oh man, I really am at my best when I get into melee, I'll get into melee with him, now, now is when I will get into melee with him.

So from the, well, depends, Jason, can I charge over staircases? Yeah, you're charging up, yeah, go ahead. Okay, so I charged there. Um, and, uh, this will be... For those who can't see at home, the throne is sitting on, like, an elevated pedestal type thing. Yeah, yeah. So very shallow stairs, yeah. A dais, or a dais, whatever they call it. Yeah, whatever you, yeah. Um, so charging is plus one, um, plus two from Rodswell, so I'm swinging at d20 plus 15 against armor class. Hmm. 24. 24 will hit. Nice, okay. And then, uh, bonus to damage, two right Dan? Two plus two.

That is correct, yeah, plus two. Uh, d12 plus 13, 23, nice. Nice. 23 damage, wow, nice. Okay, uh, and that'll be all from Malthus. Alright. Alright, Thoril, your turn. Holy crap, it's been a while. Um, let's see, I will do, man, I don't want to get too close to him, especially with everybody right there. Um, well, I had a daily I was going to use, but a couple more. Okay, um, with the burst and the blast, the burst is like the, ah, I can't remember what they are. Is it close or area? Which one is it? The power you're using. Um, I'm kind of looking at it real quick.

What's called? Uh, close blast three, swarm of shadows. Okay, close blast three, so that's going to be like out from where you're standing. Uh, like that's a shape like that. Oh, sorry, that. Yeah, except three of them, no. I think, see I'm looking through all my daily stuff to see what I can, see what I can do. Sorry, I know this probably isn't great to see me, or to hear me trying to think through my shit. Cause there's something that I can do that gives me, uh, a little bit extra to my, uh, powers. I just gotta find it. Sorry, I'm trying to, okay, there we go.

No, that's burst. Okay, so burst is straight ahead, right? Like it's in a, it's in a certain direction. Yeah. Well, burst, burst means pick a center point and expand outward in all directions. Blast means extends in one direction. Do you, is it like a range thing and then a burst or is it just a regular? Okay, you're looking unfettered hunger? Yes. Okay. It's not going to go out in one direction from you. That's just a regular close burst. Okay. You know what? I think I might just save that for now and do something a little bit different. Let's see, one, two, three, four, five, six.

I can actually get up on him and do a melee. So I think I'm going to do that. One, two, three, four, five, six. Oh, I know this is going to kill me. So I'll do vampire slam. I'm just imagining I'm running up the stairs, leaping off of the chair and trying to slam him. Okay. Off the turnbuckle. D20 plus 11, it's versus his reflex. 30, oh, that's a crit. Natural 20. Yeah. It was a 1d10 plus 10 that does 20. Hang on, because I know there's something else I want to do. Your weapon will give you bonus dice if you don't have that. Okay. I also want to use blood drinker.

It's triggered when I hit an enemy with an at-will. It gives me another d10 extra damage. And I gain a healing surge. Okay, hold on. Let's add this all up because your weapon's going to give you a crit bonus too. And he gets the plus two from me or from earlier. Okay. One on one zen. Nice. One, one second. Vampire slam. That's 20 right off the bat. Then a plus two from Rod Swell. That's 22. And then you're getting a 1d10 extra. Yes. Go ahead and roll the d10. So I'll make sure I have the d10 here. Two. Damn. Okay, that's fine. That's all. So 24. And then your bracer. Is it his bracers that are giving it?

No, not bracers. The symbol of Astral Mind, right? Yes, critical. Against elemental creatures. Oh, I can do that too? Wow. You also get another 1d6. Sweet. Okay. Another 1d6. Watch it be a one. Oh, six. Six. That's 30 damage. He just did 30 damage to Jurok, took him off his feet, and I gained around his reach. And then he pops his action point. Combo into... I could probably do that. I could probably just pop my action point now. But I feel like I should probably wait until he takes his turn because I feel like I'm going to get fucked up. Yeah, wait until people are flanking him.

That's true too. Yeah. Get the most out. Sounds good. You're done? Yes. Draconis, your turn. All right, here we go. I'm going to move. Wait, one, two, three, four, five, six. Okay, I don't even have to move actually. I'm going to... Remember to use your miner to sustain the... Yes. Okay. Oh, do I have to move those guys first before I do my move or can I move them after? Well, pretty much everything you do with those guys consumes some kind of action. The magma beast has like an inherent thing he'll do, but it does slow you if you don't give him a command. So it's kind of weird like that.

Yeah. Do I have to do that first though before I do my other move or does it matter? The order doesn't matter so long as it happens by the end of the turn. Just make sure you have enough actions to do everything you're trying to do. Okay, I'm going to use my miner to keep the flame of Seer out there. Okay. And I'm actually going to move... I can move it up to six, so I'm going to take it. And one, two, three, four. If I put that there, is that going to pin him for the... What do you call it? I wouldn't move your other one though, right? That's what he should be doing, Rob?

Well, he needs to do the miner action if he wants to keep the flaming Seer around. So that's critical. He can use his miner action to sustain the Seer and then move the other one because if he doesn't move it, it's going to take a shot at the closest thing to him, which is Thoril right now. That's true. Oh, right. Okay, yeah, that's correct. The magma beast attacks the closest creature if you don't command it, so you do need to let him know what he needs to do. Yeah, so use your standard action to move him around the other side and then use your whatever action to do your fire thing, whatever you're about to do.

Okay. Wait, wait, wait, I'm sorry. I'm getting down to the magma beast here. Sure. His character powers are lengthy. Yeah, everything's lengthy. The summons in particular are complicated. Yeah, it's like six pages of fucking text. Okay, so I already used Whirling Blade. All right. So, I think this is how it is. I'm going to double check it here. If you want, commanding the creature. Okay, so, Drakeonus, Jake, if you want Drakeonus to keep everything going and still have both of these creatures doing exactly what you want, you're going to end up eating up all your actions and staying exactly where you are.

I'm not going to be able to do another move? Correct, because you're going to have to use a minor action to sustain the flaming sphere and get the bonus effect of the flaming sphere. Another minor action to tell the magma beast to move, and then a your standard action to make the magma beast attack and not be, well, no actually, once you move him, you can move him to a place where the closest creature will be Drakh, and then he will attack on his own. Right. So you actually could have your standard action. Yeah. That's what I was thinking. But that means the sphere won't get anything.

Well, the sphere has a bonus effect when you minor on it, right? Yeah, the sphere doesn't act until Drakh's turn anyway. Correct. Yeah. Okay, well, I'm going to move the magma beast that way. It's in. Try to move it around the back. Back? It's only going to go four. Oh, well then that's the best you can do. Anything else is going to be too much. No, I might be able, I can go one, two, three, four, right? I can go diagonal right behind you? Yep. So then it's just going to randomly attack either Malkus or Drakh? Yeah, I'll percentage it. Okay. Well, Malkus, is his turn still coming up?

Because he could move, technically. Well, at the end of Drakhon's turn, it'll go off, so I won't get a turn before that, but I'm resistant to fire. Oh, yeah, good point. Okay, good call. Perfect. Alright, so the main question is after all that, can I still do a move and keep my sphere? Yeah. Or do I have to lose my sphere? No, you're already in a minor. You've already got a minor to keep it. Yeah, so you can still. Man, this made the fight ten times more. Yeah, really? Jesus. If you move, though, you won't get an attack. Are you trying to move and attack? I don't need to move at all to do my next move.

I don't have to move at all. Okay, yeah, if you want to stand where you are and do an attack, you can get that off. Okay, I'm doing Fountain of Flame. Oh, that sounds like it's going to hurt everybody. Uh, whoa, did somebody else do that? I didn't do that. Do what? Oh, maybe I'm the only one that sees that. Alright, it does not, it attacks each enemy in the burst. Alright, so that's him. Yep, okay, it is burst one within ten squares. So. Okay, so that's, okay, right there, alright. I'm going to be putting it right here. That's a bad fountain coming towards him.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, burst one within ten squares, that's not going to hit him. You want to put it here, I think. Can I reach that far? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, yeah, I can reach it, okay. So, like, right here. Uh, I was, well, burst one, I was, uh, let me draw a shape. I thought there. Okay. Yeah, when I click my little thing, it like, it's jacked up, like when I click on my area of effect, it like, controls, it like, fills up the whole board, so. Anyway, alright, I'm doing that, and it is, uh, alright, just do twenty. Ten plus, so I do two more, so plus twelve.

Right. Alright. Roll there. Alright, um. It better hit. I hope so. Twenty-nine, I hope so. Uh, that'll hit. Okay. And so, three of these. Alright, so, let's say, let's for the people at home, because this is, Jesus Christ, um. Big algebra. Um, yeah, I feel like I just took a college course in the bonus. Is this gonna happen every turn? Yeah, it looks like it. No, 'cause we figured it out now, we don't have to look stuff up. I bet you it takes exactly as long next turn. Let's fucking hope not. Um, so you, three D8 plus, plus four. Yeah. Thanks. Okay, bam, thirty-four damage to Drauk.

Is that actually my extra two that I gave him? Yeah, so that'd be thirty-six then. Alright. Also, also the area, uh, stays burning. And, uh, any enemy that enters the zone or starts their turn in that zone takes five fire damage. Alright. So that'll just stay right there. So you're done, right? Yes. Oh, god. Thank you. Yenward! Hey. I'm gonna use one of my daily minor actions called Unstoppable. And that is two D6 plus my Constitution modifier, and that gives me temporary hit points equal to that. Shit. And my Constitution is seventeen, so... Your Constitution, what's your Constitution modifier?

That would be three. It's a modifier. Yeah. All but land. Okay. Then we're just gonna give you seventeen entry. That's how I thought it was gonna happen. Whatever, I'll do it anyway. Two D6 plus three. Right. Seven. Seven. Seven ten hit points. That's still seven ten hit points, man. Okay, cool. And I'm right up on him, so I'm gonna use another one of my dailies called Crack the Shell. Ooh. And that is a D20 plus thirteen, but it would be fifteen because of the two, right? Yes. Cool. D20 plus fifteen. Oh. Two, so that's seventeen, that will miss. Okay, then. Uh, Yennward, has Yennward moved, rather?

No. Do you wanna shift diagonally up and get flanking for me next time I act? Sure. Oh wait, no, I'm sorry, wait, that'll set you on fire. My bad. No, no, that's enemies. That's enemies. Enemies, okay, cool. Yeah. So, Yennward shifts right here? No, no, no, it'd be like right here. Okay. So, Yennward climbs down from the throne and kinda scoops behind it. You're all done? Yeah. Drauk's turn. Good luck, you guys! Uh, Drauk is gonna use something called Gratuitous Violence. That's the best. That is a good name for a power, I gotta admit. He loses five hit points right now.

Okay. True for the fire. Oh, that's right, the fire thing starts. Okay. Does it count as seven? I thought it was end his turn. No, at the beginning. At the beginning. Okay. I'll go check. That's the idea, that's so good. For the Fountain of Flame begins its turn in the fountain. Okay. So he loses five from that. Damn. Gratuitous Violence sounds like the tagline for a grungy late 90s show. I believe it was an ECW here. Probably. Probably, yeah. I would believe that. Alright, so he's gonna use Gratuitous Violence. He's gonna target two of you here. In this case it's gonna be Malchus and the...

You know what, Malchus and Thorl. I'm dead. Don't think like that. He's gonna throw at Thorl first. Seventeen, that's oh, crit miss. Crit miss, so. He farts. Malchus. 20 versus your AC. My AC is 23 right now. Oh shit. Oh Fortitude, sorry. This versus Fortitude. It's versus Fortitude? Fortitude, yes. My Fortitude's 18. So I do hit you. You do hit me. Okay, once it does whatever it does I have two things that trigger off his hit. Okay, cool. So what this is gonna do is Gratuitous Violence is 3d12. Plus nine. Drauk is ridiculous. Thirty-four. God, that works, sorry. No one had worse than that.

Probably not actually, shh. I'm talking myself up to it. You are bloodied. Now what were you doing before he gets his other turn? Okay, Infernal Wrath goes off, he immediately takes d6 plus math. d6 plus nothing. Fire damage. He takes one fire damage. Emerald Shield goes off. And he immediately takes just a flat ten radiant damage. Okay. Flat ten radiant damage. Jesus, okay. We gotta box this guy up like a present. Alright. Then Drauk gets another turn. Man, okay, there's a few things I could do but you are swarming around this guy. You know what he's gonna do?

He's gonna use Brutal Chest Kick against the world. He's gonna carve it off backwards. Wait, I'm curious, does he get another five damage since he gets two turns? Yes, he should. Yeah, that makes sense. It only makes sense. Does Malchus' Midian get to do anything before? He went off during your turn so I didn't know. All the things that I set off were max once per round. I'm sorry, Draconis'... Here, hold on. When would he... yeah, the fucking Magna Beast. Jesus Christ. No, not the Magna Beast. This guy here. He doesn't do anything. They were both supposed to attack something.

Only if it's adjacent. Yeah. That one too? Only the sphere. The Magna Beast doesn't matter. Well, actually, we never did the attack. Alright, so here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna roll a d6. If it's one, two, or three, it hits Drauk. Four, five, or six, it hits Malchus. Six hits Malchus. Possible. And what is that? A d10 plus four, I wanna say? I gotta look up your goddamn thing. All because somebody raised their voice. There's a lot to keep track of in this fight. Everyone's throwing out... this is the Avengers, man. You guys are throwing out everything. Summon Magna Beast.

That is a d10 plus four. But he's resistant to fire damage, though, and this does fire damage. I resist eight. Yes, so roll your d10 plus four there. So you're taking one damage. Sorry about that, chief. Heh, happens. Suckers joke. Drauk is gonna use Brutal Chest Kick against Thoril. Umm... [laughs] Uhh, let's see, that is a d20 plus 17. Shit. Sorry, he won't crit. Not my ACs, hi. 26. Shit, my AC's 26. Oh no, no, no, but you got plus two. Yep. That's true. Yeah, and the plus one. Well, I just said plus two, because... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. This is for AC?

Yes, I had 23 plus his plus two plus my plus one. Oh, you already added the plus two and plus one. Yeah, that makes it 26. So it's just, his AC is 26. So you're still getting kicked in the chest. Yes. So he... Chestbeast. [laughs] Uhh, this is... 5d6... Plus 11. [laughs] So, Thoril is standing in his throne. Which means half of his body is exposed above the top of the chair. Drak drives his foot, his huge boot, into Thoril's chest. It does 25 damage and Thoril cartwheels back down the dais four spaces. He is not prone. He's down to 18 points. He does have a health potion.

Alright, Thoril, stay down. Use your ability to stay down. [laughs] Turn him into a bat and run. Or fly. [laughs] Ironhide, your turn. Alright! [laughs] Got two bleeders. Give me one second. Just give me one fucking second. Alright, so one... I was about to say, everyone's had an hour to plan out their next move, so... I was about to say. There should be no one who doesn't know what they're gonna do. Maybe Thoril. Six. I'm gonna use Dimensional Thunder. Okay. I'm going to read. [clears throat] Teleport a number of squares equal to your constitutional modifier, which is one.

Eh. I wanna move... there. Uh, constitutional modifier, uh, hit two W's. Uh, plus an internet modifier. Uh, it's just... it's just a basic attack. It tells you what the math is, though. Yeah. Yeah, I know the math. Okay. It's... but I'm saying, like, it would help if there was another guy, an enemy right next to him, take ongoing 500 damage. Okay, so you're basically going for the damage of it, not the effect. Yeah. Alright, so D20 plus 12. Go ahead. I wanted to get around that sweet ass. Thirty-two. Crit. Crit! That's a crit. Nice. 4D8 plus five. Wow. Oh, jeez. Don't I get, like, a weapon modifier?

Yep. Uh, that'll be your... Wait, um, Arcane Teleportition Thunder weapon, so where's your... do you have a magic weapon? I don't see... Yeah, he has a magic weapon. I don't know where it is. It's not showing up here. Yeah, mine wasn't labeled inside my character profile. That's weird. I constantly have character, uh, problems with my profiles. It happens. I mean, there's a lot to keep in track. No, it doesn't happen in here. Alright. 1D8. 1D8 crit. Uh, so there's... okay, jeez. So I just rolled 1D8? Yeah. Six. Six plus 32, so that's 38, plus the two... Jesus, let's see, hold on, plus the two that you're getting from Dan, so that's... 40...

This is college math. Jesus Christ, you guys are killing me. Stop doing so much damage. Oh, God, you're killing me. Stop playing the game. Stop playing the game, well, plus five, so that's 45 damage you just did to Drak. I'm gonna cash in my action point. Okay. Nice. Now, I'm flanking him. Do I get plus two on top? You are not flanking him. I am. Isn't he flanking him with... No. It's gotta be corner to corner or side to side. Yeah, he's not flanking him. I was testing you. You can move down one and flank him, though. He's already moved. Yeah, he's already moved. That's your action point.

Yeah, but he gets the evil mover attack. I can roll to his side and use my action point that way. Wait, hold on, shit. What? I can't believe I'm pointing this out to you. The effect of your dimensional thunder is you teleport a number of squares equal to your constitution modifier. Yeah, I already did that. Yeah, you could do that. Did you? Yeah. Okay, okay. I just want to get close to that ass. Okay. And you're doing what now, what's your attack? Great. Fine. Eh. 25. 25 versus AC? Yeah. Alright. Oh my god. Um. Oh jeez. So that's... Two eights. I'm sorry, I haven't hit this at all today.

And... Yeah, we all need to kind of step it up a little bit. Eleven. Eleven damage. Okay. Yeah, we can't afford to have anybody not know what they're going to do or just... Oh what? My turn? Um. You're done, right? That's it, you're spent. Rodswell, your turn. Okay. I'm going to move five. One, two, three, four, five. Okay, while I'm here and we do my interaction, I'm going to heal up Thorold that it's 2D6 plus his healing surge using healing word, that's what I'm using to do so. That's your last one for this encounter. I understand. And then I only gave him six plus his healing surge.

Alright. Okay. Um, now, instead of using a, uh, another action here, uh, you know, like to fight, I'm going to move again. Is that cool? Sure. Yep. Okay. And I'm going to move right over here. Okay. And then I'm going to pop an action point. Okay. When I pop my action point, I'm going to use Resurgence Sun. That is D 20 plus 14 and then I guess I get another two from me from my thing. Uh, and then I get another two because I'm now flanking. Correct? Yeah. Yes. That is D 20 plus 18 versus AC. That's 21. That'll miss. Okay. I'm going to use heroic effort. That's plus four.

That'll hit. Okay. Wait, did you use heroic? No, you did. Okay. Go ahead. Sorry. I'm out of flow here. Okay. So that is two D eight plus eight. So that is two D eight plus eight plus the two from earlier. So two D eight plus 10. Um, I rolled that. That is a 24 damage. And also, Hey, uh, Malchus gets you the healing search. I'm out. Yay. Uh, so just my flat search value is going to be 14 Jason. Done. I'm going to get kicked in the chest for that. Huh? As he cascades down the stairs, I would love, I would pay someone to animate that kick that drop gave the world back down.

Like he's standing in his throat, the old dastity of it. Like I'm standing in front. I'm going to hit you. I imagine he had to like lift his leg over the back of the chair, but still hit me with such force. I was super efficient and fast. Even though you guys just bullshitting afterwards. Sorry. You're right. I am sorry. When do you got to go to work there, Tyler? Uh, I got some time. Yeah. Well remember, Matt Draconis got to take his turn. So Malchus. Okay. It's not even buddy yet. Uh iron aspect of dissipator. So Malchus is covered in black hellish iron giving him resist five to all damage.

Why you've never used that before. Yeah, that's, that's new. It's pretty new. Um, then, uh, let's see. I hit last turn with my soul leader. Yeah. So a blazing doom of the void. Uh, D 20 plus 12, uh, plus two more from flanking plus two more from Dan is going to be D 20 plus 16, 23 versus fortitude. Uh, that will not. Uh, I wish there was some other bonus I could get, but I don't. I will actually point. Uh, and then I'll just, uh, I'll, I'll so leader, uh, D 20 actually the same math plays it. No way. It's a poster Dan post flank. Wait, wait, wait. Uh, 23, uh, would it would 25.

Oh yeah. Cause I had two. I'm afraid not. Okay. 25 would not have hit 14. No. Okay. Uh, so leader, uh, each one plus 16 is 19. Uh, versus AC. No, that's no good. That's not, that's a bad thing. Um, I minored, I action pointed. I, so that was, uh, I still have my move, but I, you know what, let's just make sure that the attacks go from the magma beast to drop. So I'll shift there. Okay. That's all for me. I flanked you. You're not going to flank me, but okay. That's right. I put on, I put on the damage reduction for a reason. I'll stay there. So your turn, you wake up, stand up, shake the birds out.

Um, I'll move right back up to where I was. That was your, that's your, that's your move action. You know, that's your move in standing up was a move. So standing up was a move. Okay. So I gotta be back down here. That was your sweet moves for the day. Well in that case, now I've got to change stuff up. I will do swarm of shadows. That's a close blast. Three targets each enemy in the blast. Uh, so it doesn't really matter much. I'll do it right around here or so. Cause it's only going to hit draw. Okay. Uh, so that's a d20 plus, I think I meant just a plus two for the modifiers.

I'm guessing. For Dan's stuff. Yes. Okay. Uh, 21 versus fortitude. No. Uh, I'm going to do heroic effort then to try to do a plus four. No. Jesus Christ. No, I'm afraid not. Um, well then, uh, miss is half damage anyway. Uh, okay. Go ahead and roll damage. Uh, three D six plus, let's see. 12, 18 half that's nine and I get to teleport anywhere within within that last one. So that's 10. Yeah. Well, no, that would be ground down. So it's still nine. Yeah. Wait, you get plus two to damage too, right? Yeah. So that would be 20 half of that's 10. So you've just done 10 damage to him.

Then I, then I get to teleport to anywhere within that blast. I'll teleport behind him. Uh, pop my action point then, uh, so I can use feral assault. Okay. Um, then that's a D 20 plus. Your nightcrawler in the shit out of this guy. Oh, and because I did the, um, because I got to teleport and I'm also invisible till the end of my next turn. Okay. Um, so then we do the D 20 plus that 11. No one's blinking me. So, uh, 24 versus reflex. Uh, that'll miss. I'm not kidding. I am not yet. So I guess that's pretty much it. Um, yeah. Okay. Draconis your turn. All right. I'm gonna do the magma beast first.

Okay. We're gonna start off with that. So you're gonna make him attack what? Yeah. I'm gonna make him attack. Oh, well I guess you guys have to roll again to see who he attacks. No, that's if you, that's if you don't do anything. If you, if you choose not to command him, then at the end of your turn, Jason would roll to find out. Yeah. But if you choose to command him, you can make him attack and make him attack drop. Okay. Well then yes. Yes. I'm going to make him attack. So that's going to be 10 plus intelligence. So for, well, you got to roll to see if it hits.

Don't you? Yeah. That's what I'm doing. So you're gonna do 20 out of 10. Yeah. We did this math before. God damn it. What was it? Uh, D 20 plus 12 altogether. Yes. Thank you. Do what I can. Uh, D 20 plus 12. Oh, that's 14. That will miss. Yeah. And now you have to do a minor to sustain your other one. Yeah. I'm using that sustain and then I'm going to move. If you move, he can't attack. Is that all right? No, no. He can't attack anyway. So you're going to use standard to make the magnificent? Yeah. Oh, okay. Gotcha. Uh, two, three, four. I'm going to stay right there. Okay.

All right. Y'all done? Yes. Yanward, your turn. Okay. I'm going to use brute strike. That's a D 20 plus 13 and I get the two from Dan and I get another two from Malchus, right? For flank. Yeah. Okay. Yes. That's D 20 plus 17. Okay. 22 versus what? AC. That's going to miss. Yeah, I know. I'm sorry. That's why I wanted. Is there anything else you'd like to do? I guess that's the end of my turn. Okay. You have an action point. I'm just letting you know. Can somebody explain that to me? What can I use for that? Um, if you pop your action point, you only get one, uh, per like every other encounter.

So if you pop it, then that means you get to either, well, you haven't moved yet, so you can shift or, uh, you can, uh, use an extra attack. Like get another crack at them. Is it a matter of what kind of attack? I can't use like an encounter, can I? You can use an encounter as long as it's anyone you haven't used yet. Any standard move or minor action. Okay. Then I'm going to pop, uh, see, I haven't been good against the CC. Well I mean, you're getting, you're getting a shitload of multipliers right now. You still have the plus two and plus two. So it's like, like let's say you tried, let's say reckless strike.

So I mean you, I mean that would be D 20 plus 17. I'm sorry. D 20 plus 15. All right, let's try it. I'll pop my action quick. All right. Yeah, much better. Uh, 31 will hit easy. Good deal. Yes. And uh, I'm going to be rolling 68 plus seven plus nine because of the dance stuff. Nice. It's going to make him bleed. I feel it. Do we have any bonuses to 41. You guys are no longer fucking around here. Uh, at 41 damage, he is bloodied. I see blood. Uh, you're done, correct? Drox turn. Uh, five damage first starting the fire. Please do ask just for, so I know what would it cost me to use like my potion on a future term?

Why would that count? It's just a minor action. Okay, cool. So like it's, it's one of those things where it's not your move where your standard, it's just, you know, pop it. That's the, that's the cool thing about potions. It's not like it takes up one of your healing surges, but it's, it's in the middle of comments like bam, pound it back. Drox turn, he is going to pivot back on his foot. So he takes five damage first. I already did the five damage. Making sure it didn't kill him. You're sure? Uh, I'm positive. Damn it. He did not go from bloody to dead in five hit points.

I'm dead. He's going to pivot back on his foot while holding his, his, his great ax out in one hand and then make a huge spinning sweep and twirl around and attack everyone who's adjacent to him. So even though I'm invisible, that still affects me. It affects you because you're, even though he can't see you, it's everyone around him. You're still poor. Okay. Jason, Jason, yes sir. Drox will take a minus five against him for total concealment. So that that's the math because it's invisible. Right. Okay. That's fine. And then also Malchus has a reaction once your attack completes.

Okay. I have a question about one of my moves. Yes sir. So you have will and it interrupts a melee attack? Uh, if it's, if it says interrupt, that means when drop declares you now, you now do something instead. So do it. Okay. Then I'm going to use combat challenge and uh, whenever an enemy marked by you is adjacent to you and shifts or makes an attack that does not include you as a target, you can use a melee basic attack against that. But he is not marked. Also, it does include you. Yeah. And it does include you. Yeah. What does marked mean? Uh, like when Justin uses an a GS of assault, something like that, then he's marking a target and you're calling someone out in the battle for essentially gotcha.

It's a good try though. Good try. Tom, I'll give you more information in the chat. Okay. You can find more information at your local library. Starting with, you know what, let's start with Thoril just because I got a decrease five from that. So 27 versus your AC Thoril. So that hits you. Someone else going down the line. I can't hit the magma beast. I can target the magma beast. Yes. 32 that hits the magma beast. Correct. Yeah. 28 hits. Malchus 25 hits Rod Swell. 22 yen word. I don't think that hits you against sweat. AC. Yeah, it hits me. Wait, no, no. You got your bonus, right?

Yeah. Bonus. Oh yeah. No, it doesn't. Oh, it doesn't hit you. Okay, cool. So you're going to get 18 against you. That doesn't hit you. Okay. So you iron height. So Thoril magma beast, Malchus and Rod Swell all get hit. So let me do that damage really quickly. 3d 12 plus nine. Oh my God. 37 damage. Minus five for Malchus. So holy moly. Oh my God. Who's that? Who's that 37 for? All of those people that just got hit. Hold on. I'll run it down here. Thoril's down. Magma beast is dead. No. Damn it. Negative 32 for Malchus. Okay. Wow. And then Rod Swell, 32 for you. 37 for you. Sorry.

Guys got to learn to move. It's okay. I forgive you. Uh, Drax turn. Uh, well, okay. So, uh, yes. Reaction. Go ahead. 10 radiant damage. Okay. 10 radiant damage. I can once per round when he hits me, I can do that from my Emerald shield. Can I offer a potion to somebody for a minor action? Like make him drink it on the ground? Thoril has it. I mean, I don't know if he can do anything with he's down, but he had, we gave him a potion. Didn't we? Yeah, but he's down. So that means he can't do anything. Gotcha. Yeah. You can't take a minor action if he's unconscious. The second I try to, the second I can get up in some way, shape or form, I'm scooting the hell back.

I don't think any of my healing words on you already. I know that's the thing. I'm the only person he's batting a thousand against right now. Like everything he's tried against me, he has just nailed me. Kind of like you in the vampire nest. He's throwing me like 18,000 places already. What he's going to do is, uh, on his second turn, he's going to shift. Um, so you guys, you have, man, you have taken a huge chunk out of his ass. He's bloodied. He's your start and your next one. He takes five more. Okay. Hey, uh, Jason. Yes, sir. I just looked over, uh, Genward's character sheet.

Yes. Just marks everything he hits. So if Drauk shifts away from Genward, Genward gets to immediately melee basic attack. That'll be fine. Nice. That'll be fine. Um, Drauk is shifting forward and leaping back into his throne. I'm sitting down. You can't hurt me. Go. Uh, Genward, go ahead and make a melee basic attack. Okie dokie. Let me get up here so I can see what I need to roll. Sorry. Uh, D20 plus 13. Okay. Thank you. No problem. So we got this for you at Macy's Drauk. Hope you like it. Uh, we have 15. Oh, add two more. Uh, 24 for AC. That'll hit. Awesome. And you get your bonus damage. 2d8 plus seven.

Yeah. 2d8 plus nine. Sorry. This is gonna be building a mile by inches is what we're trying to do today. 15. Yeah. Nice. You guys are swarming him like TIE fighters and shit. It's, it's, it's, yes, he's. I want that storm render. Can we do anything for Thoril? Is there any, does anybody have any kind of healing besides me? Uh, hold on a second. I have a potion I can give him. Sorry. I have the rest of my turn on. Hold on. Uh, once Drauk is back in his throne, he reaches for the orb of light as a minor action, which is sitting, um, uh, right on the, the right, uh, the left-hand side of his throne on one of the arms.

Uh, and once he grabs it, a huge burst of light just rips through the entire room and pushes everything back, uh, four squares, uh, including the, the ragdoll body of Thoril. All right. Uh, this actually gives us a chance to flank him on all four, on all four corners. This gives me a chance to hit him without hitting you guys. This gives me a chance to not die. I feel like he has yet to drop, let Jason talk. Yeah. Oh. This also heals him for 20 hit points. That's nothing. Um, something else is happening, but I'm going to let a little time pass before I get into that.

Drauk, go ahead. Your turn. Drauk, he's going to move one, two, three, four, five, six. He's going to swipe with green flame blade, which is a 14 for, uh, do I get any other buffs from like anybody else? Just the plus two. For the AC, for the, uh, attack world, right? Attack and damage. Attack and damage, but just 19 misses somebody else's turn. Go. Sorry, my bad. Um, it's my turn. Uh, the energy that ripped through the room was radiant. Right. Go ahead, Rodswell. Okay. Um, one, two, three, four, five. Okay. So we're flanking. Um, I'm going to use my, it's a daily, it's inspire fervor.

Um, it is T 20 plus 14 plus two, which is 16 plus two, which is 18. Pull it 25 versus AC, uh, 25 versus AC. We'll hit. Okay. Um, now I will do two D eight plus eight damage. Okay. Uh, 22, 22 damage. Yeah. Good. Um, and then on top of that, um, each ally within two squares of me. So it's nobody that wouldn't even up for iron. I would have, so nevermind. No. Um, I guess I could, I can shift. So can I shift away without being hurt? Is that yes. Shifting is the language used when you're, when you're moving away from something and you don't want to, you know what I'll stay there.

The way is in, uh, is still in play, isn't it? Yeah. At the end of the battle. Yeah. I think you went the big green rectangle one that's still in play. That's still in play. Oh, that's okay. I didn't know that was still there. Yeah. It's from the flame fountain. I'm in the fire. Yeah. You technically are, but it's nice. No, no, no, no. You're all done, right? Yeah. Uh, before, uh, we get to Malchus's turn, uh, when everyone was scattered to the four winds here, uh, Thorold's body was tossed limply against a wall. Uh, he landed, uh, with a thud and several decorative weapons.

Uh, they're, they're battle ready weapons, but they've fallen off of the, uh, off of the walls and they're kind of scattered around his corpse. The radiant energy that course through everyone, uh, hit Thorold the most. This was, I mean, radiant energy. Uh, so when Thorold, uh, hit, he stopped moving completely. Malchus, go ahead. Take your turn. Oh sure. Transition right into, but yeah, I'm building to something. This sounds like this is it for Thorold. This is not cool. Um, Oh, where's the guys? He's invisible. I know, right? So no one can see your pain. Where'd he go?

Okay. I don't have a healing potion on my person I think. And my heel check would not be good enough to likely help you. So that is the reason I'm not coming to your aid. I just, it is so unlikely that I would help you. Why don't you, you yourself are at six hit points there. Oh, I know. Look, it's, it's either drop or us because otherwise trapped here for all eternity. You don't have a choice. Um, wait a second. Hey everybody, do you want to go back? Let's vote. Let's call it a draw. Um, he, good news is drugs played. So I get a plus one bonus to, uh, to, to beating his face.

Um, okay. I was just checking my gear there real quick. Uh, let's go ahead and use, use what I got because that's just going to be another soul leader. Um, D 20 plus two and two is four, uh, plus 16 and a with. And I'm stuck. That's not gonna, that's not gonna do it. End of truth. Thoral your limp lifeless body, uh, is lying in a pool of your own blood. Uh, the radiant energy course through you and you as, uh, as a living being ceased to be for a few moments. And then the color begins to return to your skin. Yeah. Uh, and you feel a strength surge through you that you haven't felt in a long time.

Yeah. Let me remove Thoril the vampire from the party. Oh no. Oh shit. Just got humanized. Jason if you're, if you, if you need to put music behind this, it needs to be a, I believe I can fly. That's the big hitter back is the big hitter back. Doesn't even have his weapons. Uh, he landed next to some axes. You're now a goblin. And fly boy. Uh, let me give you your old icon ladies and gentlemen, uh, Thoril is no longer a vampire and he has been fully healed. Uh, returned to his previous status. Well, if it was just radiant power, I had that the whole time. This is, this is a powerful artifact, sir.

This is not, uh, just to cauterize it. I see. I'll save the day, buddy. Uh, let me add you back to the initiative tracker. Uh, and you take your turn right after Malchus. So you have, let's say, let me slip you right in after Malchus. Your turn Thoril. All right. Well, let's see. We're walking one, two, three, four, five, six that put me right here in range with him. Who's that guy? So we're no longer at his cleanup here. Let's see. Uh, batting cleanup. See if I remember how to do this. Melee basic attack. Uh, that's a good start. Of course we got that plus two extra.

Uh, let's see D 20 plus 15 then. Uh, Oh wow. Really? And that's 23 versus AC heroic effort. Heroic effort will hit him. He really is a human. Only humans have that power. Uh, let's see here. 3D 6 plus, uh, it's supposed to be 11, but I think it's 13 because of the 3D 6 plus 13 plus 13. Um, actually I'm also going to do power strike, uh, which gives me an extra die. Um, 25 damage, 25 damage. And I'm assuming you're going to use an offhand attack. Oh yes, sir. Let's see. 15, 30 versus AC. 30 will hit. True to form, offhand attack always hits harder somehow. 28. 28 will be a fuckload of damage.

So is it 25 plus 20 or just 28? 25 plus 28. You haven't met this version of Thoril. He goes to that place. Anybody going to welcome him back or anything? We're fighting right now, man. I think it's more of a holy shit moment. Like this, like... Yeah, yeah. You are a minor action, don't I? Yes. I'm going to pop my daily and use oak skin to give me, uh, two resistance to damage until the end of the encounter. Uh, I will also let you know that you have, uh, an action point again. Oh, sweet. Oh, fuck it. I'll do my action point. It'll be like the old days. I mean, I wasn't there for that, but you know, I can't.

You as Dan really appreciate it. Uh, you're popping oak skin. Okay. I probably won't be paying too much. I don't know, man. Missed this. Um, the 20, 15 melee basic attack. 26 versus AC. 26 will hit. Now you don't get another offhand attack. Just let me know. Uh, three and ten plus thirteen. Thirty one damage. Wow. I just shit my pants. How much damage is that? You see my little guy's icon? That's my mouth. Twenty five, twenty eight, and thirty one. Wow. It's got to be a record. Wait. What? Plus two, plus two. Did you add the plus two to the... Okay, just checking. Eighty four damage total.

Oh, that means he's going to be dead soon, guys. That's got to be a kill. Uh, so, uh, just to let you know, Draki is absolutely furious. He's pretty miffed. Uh, Drakonas, your turn. What? That did kill him? No, it did not. Wow. It's Drak. He's the boss. Okay, anyway, uh, one, two, three. I'm going to stay there. Uh, I'm going to do Fire Shroud. Uh, standard action, uh, close burst three. Now that does count, like, he consumes four little squares, correct? Uh, yeah, but... Okay, all right. And I'm going to, uh, attack each enemy so it doesn't attack anybody else, just enemies.

Right. All right, and it's plus three, so yes. That way? Is that right? Is that right right there? Uh, yeah, you got him. Okay, cool. All right, and... I figured not to, but yeah, you got him. 20 plus, oops, 20 plus 10, is that what that says? Uh, 20 plus 10, yeah. And then plus two more? Yep. 12, all right, and I'm rolling 28. 28 first. This is four to two. That'll hit him. All righty, and my damage is, uh, D8 plus intelligence modifier, fire damage, and five to one going. All right, so... Eight plus four is my... But my thing says... One to eight plus eight. Eight, yeah, there we go.

You know, I kind of feel like when I was bearing my axe at him three times, I should have had, like, some sort of, like, one-liner. You blew it. You should probably just be happy to be alive. Yeah, maybe you should, maybe you should just be okay with it. Maybe you should just be cool. Yeah. Because, to be honest, the timing of that could not be better. Um, I'll explain later. Uh, Yenward, your turn. Yes, okay. I am going to move five spaces. I'll just move that right here. And I'm going to use Reaping Strike, and that is... What? Um, he didn't use a miner to keep this thing alive, so it's gone.

Yeah, I haven't been using it, you know, really. It's been pushed away, so yeah, it's gone. Okay. Okay, so that's D20 plus 13, plus the two from Dan, right? Yep. Okay, roll. 29 will hit. Nice. Cool. And damage is... Two D8 plus seven. Uh, 20 damage. Beautiful. And he's dead. No. What? He is not dead. He's going mad. Because I imagine him just flipping, willing, into his throne, and then everybody catching up to him, just beating the fuck and... He is sitting in his throne while you guys surround him and swing axes and swords at him. You're done, Yenward. Yes. Drock's turn.

Alright. So, uh, does he get five from this one I just did? Or is it, oh, my turn. No. No more five damage, he's out of the thing. My fire shroud does five ongoing damage too. What? That I just did, yeah. Four. Um, yeah, I'm looking for a loophole. No, he's not dead. Burn, motherfucker, burn. Yeah, five ongoing damage, yeah, I guess I pass. That's another five damage. He is going to use Howling Winds. That is... Howling Wind is a close burst five. What'd she say? No, no, that would be him. Yeah, that would be everybody, Jesus. Oh, god. Close burst five. Uh, d20 plus, d20 plus 14 versus your fortitude.

I'm gonna run right down the line. It sucks. Yenward, 30. Yeah, it totally is. Ironhide, 16. My fortitude, it hits. Okay, Malkus, 20. That will hit. You don't even need to roll for me, it hits. 23, that hits. Okay, Draconis, 27. Yeah. And Blosswell, 18. So that hits everyone? Jesus. I'm about to die. He raises his axe into the air and lightning just courses through and this huge wind sweeps into the room. 3d10 plus 11. See, we don't get a 1-up like you, Thoril. 31 damage to everyone. Well, we're dead. I'm not. You are all pushed five squares and not prone. Again? Malkus is at negative 25.

He was not killed outright. Oh, wow. Yenward, you're... Jesus. Okay, taking 31 damage. How we looking on time there, Tyler? Nothing I could have imagined. I'm getting ready for work right now. Just kind of putting myself on mute. People gotta get a lot faster on their turns. Okay, well, I mean, everyone's doing their best. It's fine. Don't worry, now everyone gets turns anymore, so this will go by pretty quick. Can I go ahead and use my potion right now? It's gotta be on your turn. Okay, I thought that was whenever. Gotcha. Did you want to use it on your turn previously then?

I'll allow that. Oh, sure. Okay. I'll add. Thanks, DM. Well... Wait, did he get hit? Uh, yes, he did before. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Before you do that, I'm still bloody between two. I have a move in here called Bloody Determination, but I don't have, like, a thing on it. Description? Yeah. I'll look that up while, oh, Jesus, Drauk gets another turn. What Drauk is gonna do is hold... Five more fire damage. You guys were pushed back five squares, by the way. Yeah, so push everybody back. Yeah, tell me that five kills him. Uh, five more fire damage. No, it does not kill him.

What I am gonna do is, um, he's taken that, that, uh, that small, uh, the time orb off of his belt and he's holding it aloft and it's charging. Oh, no. He's gonna warp back to when he wasn't so dead. Uh, Ironhide, your turn. I'm gonna look that thing up for you. Thank you. Fuck. Uh, no. Well, I'm gonna use my, um, my movement turn to get up. Okay. Can I use a, um, miner to move or no? No. You got a health potion. Yeah, I'm not gonna use that. Okay. Okay, I don't know what you're waiting for, but... You can charge into a melee basic attack. Yeah, but I already used my move.

A charge is a move at the end, it only uses your standard action and it's a move at the end of which you attack at a plus one. Yeah, I was confused at that. So it's just a basic melee attack though, right? Correct. Right. It's not any, you don't get to use any of your powers, but you do get to attack at the end of that move. Okay. I'll use a basic melee attack then. Okay. So it's gonna be, um, let's just see if this is... You get a plus three on that. Okay. Twenty. Uh, that's still gonna miss. Yeah, that's better. Next turn, next turn, next turn. Okay. Uh, Rodswell, your turn, you are down.

He's even here? Yeah, he's... Oh, I'm sorry, what can I do? I'm dead. I mean... Well, I mean, you gotta roll a... Make your death saving throw. You gotta make a death saving throw. So just roll a d20. d20... Roll. Big functional enemies. Okay, you have one strike against you. Three and you die forever. Malchus, your turn. Doesn't get worse. You rolled a 12. Thoril, your turn. You are bloody, but still in the fight. You gotta get up. Yeah, so I have to still stand up. Um, crap, hang on. So that would do my move thing, so all I'd really have is like ranged attacks, wouldn't I?

Yes. Or you could charge. Or you can charge, yeah. Uh, how many spaces? Your movement. Just my move? Okay. Then I'll charge. Okay. I mean... You get a plus three. Hmm? You get a plus three. I get a plus three, sweet. Okay. To just attack? Yep. And then plus two. Alright, well then melee basic attack for that. And that is on top of that plus two from earlier, right? No. No, that's the whole thing. No. Okay, just a plus three in general. Okay. Yes. Uh, d20 plus 16, 31 versus d20. That will hit. Fucking A. Kill 'em, kill 'em. Kiss 'em real hard. Uh, with the added there, 25 damage.

Alright. Fuck second A. You are standing behind him, and while he is still sitting in his throne, you swing downward with your axe. He is holding this orb aloft. You swing down through it, shatter it, and bury your axe in the back of his head. Uh, Drakh falls forward and slumps in his chair. He is dead. Yes! Woo! Yes! Okay, show over. I'd like to loot his body. Uh, I think we're gonna have to do that the next time. I will say, after you shattered that magical item, uh, there was just this huge thunderous boom that knocks everyone back. This huge dissipation of magic.

Uh, and I think we're gonna have to let that be the end of the episode, and I'll let you know everything that you guys, uh, it all depends on Tyler. Like, I think he's heading out the door now as he's speaking to us. Eh, I got ten minutes. You got ten minutes. Okay, I got ten minutes. So, wait, wait. Did we have to collect our dead now? 'Cause Malkus was really hit hard. Uh, well, I mean, he's not, Malkus isn't dead dead. I mean, it was close. Did we have to do some kind of special role to see if we can... No, no, this is all just clean up. Everyone's bloodied or nearly dead.

If someone pours a healing potion down my throat, I'll wake back up with ten hit points. Yeah, it'll, yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, you guys are just, like, limping. This is just utter chaos, like, you look around and it's, it's terrible. Should we go find that dwarf and give him the finger? Yeah, yeah. Fuck that dwarf. You haven't made it back alive yet, like, it's, you're in pretty bad shape. Um, uh, the axe Stormrender, uh, tumbles from his hand and falls and just kind of slides down the dais, uh, and is laying in front of his, uh, throne. Saunter on over that.

I don't want Ironhide. Ironhide needs something. I use his greatsword. Yeah, he uses greatsword. And he did, he, well, they both picked up a fresh weapon recently, but this is, this is a legendary weapon here. Uh, jeez, on top of that, uh, I'm gonna save... Say what? Said Yennard has a new sword. I want that time one, though. That time thing. You got it? Uh, that's been shattered. What? Motherfuck. Um, the objects in the room, I'm gonna save time and just have you guys, you are bloodied and hurt and you're looking around. The Orb of Light is still intact and still sitting right there on the edge of his throne, uh, which is a very interesting item.

I don't have time to get into everything it does, but it's a very, I'll just say that it's a very powerful, uh, holy, uh, holy weapon. You said it was good for healing, right? Uh, it, it, it does have, uh, yeah, it is good. It's mostly for slaying undead and giving you, you know, it's, it's kinda got a mind of its own. I'll get into that in the next sit down. Um, you also found, uh, in that chest in the back, uh, a set of, uh, plus two Chainmail Heroes armor, uh, a Rod of Deadly Casting, uh, so any of you who uses rods, um, and you found, uh, gems and, uh, platinum and gold pieces worth 50,000 gold.

Jesus. Um, Chainmail's my, my favorite armor, so if, if no one else has claimed the Chainmail, I'll take it. Go for it. I think the Rod should probably go to Draconis, right? That's... Oh, wait. I think he uses wands. Oh. Yeah, I use rods, so the Chainmail should go to someone else and I'll take the, what's the Rod? Uh, the Rod is, uh, Rod of Deadly Casting plus two to attack and damage and, yeah. Okay. So, yeah. Who could stand to gain the most from having more defense? I mean... Any of you looking around the room. Who else has Chainmail as the best armor they can wear?

How do I check? Uh, it'll be under Notes, uh, Details, Notes, and... I don't think it's very far down the list. Um... Doo doo doo doo doo. Well shoot, where is it? Well, yeah, we'll talk about it later. Go on, Jason, whatever you need to say. Uh, that's essentially it right now. I don't want to get into any more, uh, roleplay stuff, but congratulations, you guys beat Drakh! And no one died! Yeah! Woo hoo! Vampire Thoril died. Thoril is back! Malkus, Malkus is just, like, sitting propped up against that wall, blood trickling down his mouth, and he just, like, looks at Thoril and he's like, "I just shit-talked the best, the greatest hero in all of history, and when I gave my word about standing by Thoril after we protected Brianna, that followed through to its completion." Like, absolute, like, Malkus has never been more satisfied with his standing in all of his life.

It's beautiful. I have no idea what's going on. I'm- I'm- I know a certain young lady back in Winterhaven who'll be excited. Wait, wait, wait, wait, which one? With a vampire in her hair. Sash, only date vampire boy. Yeah. I really like Twilight, so. Uh, ladies and gentlemen, congratulations, and, oh, there's a wonderful little wrinkle to this that I can't wait to get into, and- What's your favorite part again? Uh, the- I- I gotta make time for a group two session. The next time we record is next week, but it won't be a typical- it won't be a continuation of this story.

We'll all be doing a new thing for- for W.A.F. Um- So that'll be- you know what, let's just say it, the next episode is the start of season three. How does that sound? There was a season two? Yeah, season two was when we all came back, and- That was like two episodes in. Yeah, really. That's why we don't go by seasons, 'cause we're- That was a pilot episode. That was a pilot season. Season one was a short season, they didn't order a full season 'cause they didn't know what it was. How about I just say season two? Anyway, um, congratulations guys, that was fantastic.

I know- Tyler, you gotta go. Yeah, okay. Have a good day. Yeah, thank you guys. Rats on the Inhuman again. I'm down to sit here and decompress if anyone else is. I really wanna know what that thing does that you can't tell her. I just don't have time to get into it. Well now you do. Well that would be rude. Text Tyler, let him know. What? Tyler, you're not here, you can't speak. Oh, not allowed to be here, okay. I don't want you to be late for work. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
