How will they find their 00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.659 loved ones? How will they get home? Find out 00:00:41.659 --> 00:00:49.539 on the next episode of... Blast On Me!

What the hell 00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:01.530 was he doing? Get off of there! You scaly rat. 00:01:03.630 --> 00:01:07.609 Hey there pants people. Do me a favor. Leave 00:01:07.609 --> 00:01:10.150 us a review wherever you're listening. And when 00:01:10.150 --> 00:01:12.549 you're done, come back and enjoy the episode. 00:01:49.290 --> 00:01:52.450 Stormtrooper Oren is not here. That's right. 00:01:52.530 --> 00:01:54.129 Get that shit out of here. Get that music out 00:01:54.129 --> 00:01:56.989 of here. We're getting to the action right away. 00:01:57.069 --> 00:01:59.629 No banter, no Oren. We've got a time for him. 00:02:00.049 --> 00:02:03.109 It's time for you guys to die. And last time, 00:02:03.189 --> 00:02:08.270 Mr. Jeremy Wolf, I left you with a ultimatum. 00:02:08.930 --> 00:02:13.569 And I want to hear your answer. But first... 00:02:13.569 --> 00:02:18.490 No, I'm just kidding. Let's do a quick reminder. 00:02:18.729 --> 00:02:22.430 Yes. Dresden is under hold person. You have both 00:02:22.430 --> 00:02:24.669 your characters in one spot here. Dresden is 00:02:24.669 --> 00:02:27.930 paralyzed, and his brother is coming in. Coming 00:02:27.930 --> 00:02:30.030 in to strike with two critical hits. As he pointed, 00:02:30.169 --> 00:02:32.550 I'm going to take your eye, and then I'm going 00:02:32.550 --> 00:02:35.810 to take your head. But as he goes to move, Jules, 00:02:35.849 --> 00:02:39.009 seeing that the hostage just in the holding has 00:02:39.009 --> 00:02:41.610 been dropped, seeing Grindy kind of falls to 00:02:41.610 --> 00:02:44.370 the cobbles, sees that Jamal up top, hey, whoa, 00:02:44.469 --> 00:02:48.469 hey, just thrown to the side as this cloaked, 00:02:48.469 --> 00:02:51.289 hooded figure is focusing all its attention on 00:02:51.289 --> 00:02:54.330 holding Dresden in place. The two hostages you 00:02:54.330 --> 00:02:56.979 can see have been... Throw him to the side. You 00:02:56.979 --> 00:03:00.819 have a moment to act. And Jules, misty steps 00:03:00.819 --> 00:03:05.099 just behind the charging Jesseth, who slides, 00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.819 suddenly feeling this force behind him. And as 00:03:07.819 --> 00:03:13.419 this moment happens, as time freezes these three 00:03:13.419 --> 00:03:17.800 figures in a line, you have a choice. You can 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:21.520 give me no buttons, and I will attack Dresden 00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.280 twice. Two crits. Things will play out the way 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:26.020 they were going to play out before. You can give 00:03:26.020 --> 00:03:27.719 me one button, and Jessinth will spin around, 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.719 seeing that Jules is up to something, not trusting 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.240 it. He's going to strike at Jules twice. You 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.020 can give me two buttons, and that will give you 00:03:37.020 --> 00:03:40.819 a free chance to try to grapple Jessinth, a hardened 00:03:40.819 --> 00:03:44.819 warrior who is probably stronger than you. Got 00:03:44.819 --> 00:03:46.360 a third button? Maybe you can take advantage 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:50.180 of that check. I would give you my button if 00:03:50.180 --> 00:03:52.699 you wanted to do three. Because you're probably 00:03:52.699 --> 00:03:55.400 going to fail. Probably. I've got a plus one 00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:58.439 to athletics. Yeah, Jessent has a plus a lot 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.939 to athletics. Yeah, Zebulon doesn't need any 00:04:00.939 --> 00:04:02.939 buttons. That's up to you. Famously good rollers. 00:04:03.139 --> 00:04:05.500 That's up to you. That's the thing is I already 00:04:05.500 --> 00:04:10.479 have a plan for my button, which will also be 00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:15.400 pretty clutch. Honestly, yeah. I think we should 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.199 just roll with. All right, let's do it. Yeah. 00:04:18.779 --> 00:04:20.439 This would be easier if somebody gave out more 00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:24.560 buttons. Seriously. Seriously. David, I'm giving 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.759 you two buttons so that I can get a contested 00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:33.420 grab. Holy shit. On Jessent's neck. Okay. Give 00:04:33.420 --> 00:04:37.759 me those buttons. Holy shit. Here we go. So Jules 00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:42.620 Misty steps behind Jessent, grabs him by the 00:04:42.620 --> 00:04:45.620 neck. Shit doesn't have to go down like this, 00:04:45.660 --> 00:04:49.220 Jessent. You let the others go. We'll do what 00:04:49.220 --> 00:04:53.100 you want. But if you don't, your life ends now. 00:04:54.100 --> 00:04:57.660 You little brat! Let's roll those checks. Your 00:04:57.660 --> 00:04:59.199 arm goes around him. He's surprised at first, 00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:02.480 but his arms launch up to grab at yours. He's 00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:06.480 going to try to pull you off. What'd you roll? 00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:09.439 What'd you roll? What'd you roll? What'd you 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.720 roll? I'm sitting the DC. It's just a five. For 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:17.449 me, it was just an eight. My God, it was low. 00:05:17.730 --> 00:05:20.170 Just enough. It was low. Just enough. Wait, what? 00:05:20.949 --> 00:05:23.930 You rolled a five on the die. What? No, no, no. 00:05:24.410 --> 00:05:27.050 No, no, no. You rolled a five. Yeah, I was saying. 00:05:27.389 --> 00:05:29.829 He rolled an eight. Yeah. Eight is higher than 00:05:29.829 --> 00:05:32.050 five. That's just enough. Oh, oh, oh, shit. I 00:05:32.050 --> 00:05:36.189 thought you meant to do this. Okay. Yeah. I thought 00:05:36.189 --> 00:05:39.290 it was pretty clear. I don't know. It was low, 00:05:39.370 --> 00:05:41.230 but it was still just enough. Your comedy is 00:05:41.230 --> 00:05:43.509 streets ahead of ours. God damn it. This is all 00:05:43.509 --> 00:05:45.509 getting cut now. Fucking hell, this is stupid. 00:05:48.910 --> 00:05:52.470 Boom. Arms are yanked off as he spins around, 00:05:52.750 --> 00:05:54.110 standing between the two of you. I'm going to 00:05:54.110 --> 00:05:57.470 put, let me change the tokens on the map. Dresden, 00:05:57.649 --> 00:06:00.029 I pushed forward, and the only time you would 00:06:00.029 --> 00:06:02.050 have had an oval open to move in there, basically, 00:06:02.050 --> 00:06:04.110 was as he stepped right up. So a pipe put from 00:06:04.110 --> 00:06:07.579 Dresden, basically now sandwiched between. Jules, 00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:10.139 who just appeared, and Dresden, who is paralyzed. 00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:14.120 But you know what? We had three options. You 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.279 chose to physically attack me when you appeared. 00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.339 So I'm going to attack Jules. Dresden's not going 00:06:20.339 --> 00:06:26.500 anywhere. Here we go. My lower attack is a 15. 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.660 Two hit. Did you say your lower attack? Yes. 00:06:30.139 --> 00:06:33.399 Okay. Yeah, that hits. Okay. So does that mean 00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:38.970 both hit? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Uh -oh. Ruh -roh. Shit's 00:06:38.970 --> 00:06:44.769 supposed to get real bad. We don't have second 00:06:44.769 --> 00:06:49.149 backups. Might be seeing a lot more at Dresden. 00:06:49.689 --> 00:06:51.430 I'm really bad at math. Don't look at me like 00:06:51.430 --> 00:06:55.829 that. That is a... Hang on. I'm so bad at this 00:06:55.829 --> 00:06:59.310 right now. Okay, no. That is... Yes, 17 damage. 00:06:59.670 --> 00:07:04.709 Oh. As he turns to you, Jules, and... swipes 00:07:04.709 --> 00:07:08.290 at you twice. Brutal blade just cleaving, slashing 00:07:08.290 --> 00:07:13.149 down in front of you. Cuts not vital deep, but 00:07:13.149 --> 00:07:15.589 deep enough that you can feel the blazing pain 00:07:15.589 --> 00:07:20.670 and the blood seeping into your clothes. You 00:07:20.670 --> 00:07:24.569 know what? I think I like this even better. Turns 00:07:24.569 --> 00:07:26.769 back to Dresden. Looks him right in the eyes. 00:07:27.730 --> 00:07:32.579 Watch, brother. You stand there and watch. while 00:07:32.579 --> 00:07:36.939 I cut your precious prince down. And then I'll 00:07:36.939 --> 00:07:39.980 kill you. And that's his turn. I really wish 00:07:39.980 --> 00:07:41.819 I remembered the turn order. Something interesting 00:07:41.819 --> 00:07:43.740 is going to happen here. Next is the guys. It's 00:07:43.740 --> 00:07:45.660 someone else's turn. It's the hostage shakers. 00:07:46.259 --> 00:07:51.860 Before them. Rolling a die. Oh, no. I see what's 00:07:51.860 --> 00:07:56.180 going to happen. That's actually badass. Before 00:07:56.180 --> 00:07:59.199 anyone else goes, Jules, you're kind of falling 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:02.050 back. Blood. Dripping down to the cobbles, Dresden 00:08:02.050 --> 00:08:04.810 watching, watching, but unable to move, unable 00:08:04.810 --> 00:08:08.250 to act, as Jessen turns towards Jules, getting 00:08:08.250 --> 00:08:10.149 ready to deliver another blow, just preparing 00:08:10.149 --> 00:08:13.689 himself. Suddenly from the side, a figure crashes 00:08:13.689 --> 00:08:17.290 into him. I'm using the shove action, basically, 00:08:17.370 --> 00:08:21.269 to push Jessen away. As Grindy steps forward, 00:08:21.370 --> 00:08:24.810 no, no, no, no! I actually rolled pretty high 00:08:24.810 --> 00:08:30.709 with it. Jessen just slides. Not our prince. 00:08:31.170 --> 00:08:35.429 Not our hope. And Grindy stands one arm forward, 00:08:35.649 --> 00:08:40.649 protecting you, Jules. And that's his turn. Nobody 00:08:40.649 --> 00:08:44.250 you see goes. Crispin, things are going south 00:08:44.250 --> 00:08:47.929 in there. And you're up. Okay. Crispin can hear 00:08:47.929 --> 00:08:54.090 that shit's going down. In his dire wolf form, 00:08:54.389 --> 00:09:01.129 he begins to move. And as a bonus action goes 00:09:01.129 --> 00:09:05.190 into a rage. Oh, that's right. Oh, my gosh. This 00:09:05.190 --> 00:09:10.149 guy. So he comes reminiscent to the last time 00:09:10.149 --> 00:09:13.590 Dresden or Crispin. Why do I do that so much? 00:09:13.610 --> 00:09:16.210 It's the inn. You guys did it to yourself. Reminiscent 00:09:16.210 --> 00:09:20.250 to the last time Crispin wild shaped. He comes 00:09:20.250 --> 00:09:23.919 skittering around the corner. goes to the wall 00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:27.000 that is mechanically only 10 feet away from him 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:32.559 and climbs up the wall. Holy shit. Oh, shit. 00:09:33.259 --> 00:09:35.000 All right, I'll need an athletics check as part 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:38.440 of this movie. Yes. And I use the dire wolf stats, 00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:40.820 right? So the dire wolf has a plus three strength, 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:46.299 so I use that, correct? Yes. Okay. Here, I really 00:09:46.299 --> 00:09:49.860 kind of think is where I need my button. Because 00:09:49.860 --> 00:09:53.860 when, if... Crispin can get up there and attack 00:09:53.860 --> 00:09:59.240 this cultist. That is going to break the whole 00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:03.960 person. Damn. That's my justification for why 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.980 I'm giving David a button. Okay, okay. It's similar 00:10:07.980 --> 00:10:10.179 to the other one. I think there's a little pile 00:10:10.179 --> 00:10:12.000 of rubble at the bottom. You can kind of get 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:13.919 your legs and pounce up, get a good ways up. 00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:16.399 There are some places you can really dig your 00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:19.620 claws into as you rise. Yeah, it's going to be 00:10:19.620 --> 00:10:22.340 the same DC I had in mind before. Okay, and I'm 00:10:22.340 --> 00:10:25.480 not worried about movement because the dire wolf, 00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:27.419 we're calling it a dire coyote. The dire wolf 00:10:27.419 --> 00:10:30.639 stat block has 50 feet of movement. Holy shit, 00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:32.759 this is cool. That's incredible. All right, two 00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:34.320 rolls. Here we go. The last thing I expected 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:36.720 was a dire coyote around the corner. Holy shit, 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.139 holy shit. First roll was bad. Two on the die. 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:44.720 Oh my gosh. The next one's not a lot better. 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:49.440 That's an 11. I wanted a DC 10. I was hoping 00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:53.000 so. Zebulon couldn't hit it. Yeah. But Crispin 00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:55.500 the coyote, he got there. All right. You just 00:10:55.500 --> 00:10:58.539 dig up, pounce, claws, raking. And this figure 00:10:58.539 --> 00:11:00.840 is like holding his hand out, trying to keep 00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:03.639 Dresden smiling. And all of a sudden, he can't 00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:04.980 even see you until you're there because he's 00:11:04.980 --> 00:11:06.899 like on the second floor looking down. And his 00:11:06.899 --> 00:11:11.860 vision is cut off by this huge, like beast fur 00:11:11.860 --> 00:11:14.299 and fangs right in his face. I have an argument 00:11:14.299 --> 00:11:19.240 to make. I'll hear you. Jamal. Yes. Would you 00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:22.899 classify Jamal as an ally? I'll give you that. 00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:27.100 Crispin, in Dire Coyote form, has pack tactics, 00:11:27.179 --> 00:11:29.860 which give him advantage on attack rolls against 00:11:29.860 --> 00:11:33.120 a creature if it's at least... if at least one 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:34.960 of the wolf's allies are within five feet of 00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:38.080 that creature. So you climb to the top, you go 00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:40.320 to attack, and I think, like, this cultist stumbles 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:41.860 back, and all of a sudden Jamal just kind of, 00:11:41.899 --> 00:11:43.799 like... You know, I imagine Jaws really, his 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:45.860 hands are, like, tied in front, and he just kind 00:11:45.860 --> 00:11:48.200 of shoulders into the cultist from behind, like, 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:50.659 yeah, yeah, get me a big scary dog guy. Come 00:11:50.659 --> 00:11:53.120 on, get him. And just, like, trying to tackle 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.659 him from behind, giving you a slight opportunity 00:11:55.659 --> 00:11:57.840 to just, like, move in and mow this guy down. 00:11:58.100 --> 00:12:01.200 All right. I'm going to use Bite, which is really 00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:04.759 the only attack that this dire coyote has. Plus 00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:11.039 five to hit. Let's go for two. 16 was the higher. 00:12:11.839 --> 00:12:16.399 16 will hit. Excellent. So that's 2d6 plus 3. 00:12:20.059 --> 00:12:24.480 8 damage total. Oh, did you add your strength 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:26.460 modifier? No, exactly. I just was about to go 00:12:26.460 --> 00:12:30.379 back to that page for that reason. I think it's 00:12:30.379 --> 00:12:32.940 just plus 2. I think it's just base plus 2. Yes, 00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.840 that's correct. Plus 2. So that's 10 damage then. 00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:39.269 Okay. Oh, shoot. Let me just show you. I put 00:12:39.269 --> 00:12:40.990 you on the second map. You're on the upper floor 00:12:40.990 --> 00:12:43.029 now. That's the situation on the second floor 00:12:43.029 --> 00:12:45.769 if you guys want to take a peek. Okay. Sweet. 00:12:45.850 --> 00:12:47.570 Okay, so you're, like, hanging off the edge, 00:12:47.649 --> 00:12:49.669 like, just kind of barely hanging on, swiping 00:12:49.669 --> 00:12:51.830 with your claws, you know, scratch this guy across 00:12:51.830 --> 00:12:54.389 the chest. Jamal kind of hands tied beside you, 00:12:54.389 --> 00:12:55.809 trying to tackle into him, pushing him against 00:12:55.809 --> 00:12:59.210 the wall. And absolute chaos on the second floor. 00:12:59.870 --> 00:13:02.950 Here's the question. You did some damage. Fela's 00:13:02.950 --> 00:13:05.009 still up, but I do need to roll a constitution 00:13:05.009 --> 00:13:08.299 saving throw. to see if I keep concentration 00:13:08.299 --> 00:13:13.259 on hold person. Here we go. To DC 10 right now. 00:13:15.659 --> 00:13:20.840 With a four on the die. Holy shit. As this claw 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:23.840 rakes into him. Once again, Dresden Kellig, you 00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:26.259 are saved. It worked! You had a ready to action! 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:30.100 You break free. You have a ready to action. And 00:13:30.100 --> 00:13:32.629 you have a ready to action. I did. I did. And 00:13:32.629 --> 00:13:33.970 Jessenth, even though he was pushed back, is 00:13:33.970 --> 00:13:35.909 still five feet away from you. You see Jessenth 00:13:35.909 --> 00:13:37.330 is kind of ready to, like, cut down Grindy. His 00:13:37.330 --> 00:13:39.809 eyes turned away. And you know what? Because 00:13:39.809 --> 00:13:41.509 Grindy came in and did that kind of cool thing 00:13:41.509 --> 00:13:42.970 and, like, he rolled well, I'm going to give 00:13:42.970 --> 00:13:45.409 you advantage in this attack. Because Jessenth 00:13:45.409 --> 00:13:47.350 is not looking at you. He's looking at Jules. 00:13:47.490 --> 00:13:50.269 He's looking at Grindy. And Dresden, you're supposed 00:13:50.269 --> 00:13:53.389 to be full paralyzed. Right. That's pretty cool. 00:13:53.669 --> 00:13:56.909 Right. That's generous. Okay. That means it's 00:13:56.909 --> 00:13:58.870 really bad, though, if he's giving us that many. 00:13:59.289 --> 00:14:03.399 Yeah. Well. My ready to action. Ooh, it's not 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:06.039 an attack. Hey, be honest. I'll work with whatever 00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:09.820 you got. I'm very excited. I'm curious. Out of 00:14:09.820 --> 00:14:11.720 transparency and honesty, my ready to action 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:16.340 wasn't an attack. Whoa. Whoa. I have to roll 00:14:16.340 --> 00:14:19.220 with that. Yeah, I think you're supposed to say 00:14:19.220 --> 00:14:21.460 what the action is when you're readying it, aren't 00:14:21.460 --> 00:14:24.279 you? I trust you guys. And because I trust you 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.120 and because you're honest with me, take this 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:29.149 button. Nice. Thanks. All right. So do what you 00:14:29.149 --> 00:14:31.809 were going to do, and we'll play it out. We'll 00:14:31.809 --> 00:14:34.750 work with it. Well, because Dresden's, or Jessen's 00:14:34.750 --> 00:14:38.970 turn is done. He's finished his turn. I'm going 00:14:38.970 --> 00:14:41.309 to manifest my echo behind him. Oh, okay. There 00:14:41.309 --> 00:14:43.149 you go. That's not bad. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's 00:14:43.149 --> 00:14:45.590 a good move. Yep. But it's not my turn, so I 00:14:45.590 --> 00:14:48.009 can't take an additional action to attack, which 00:14:48.009 --> 00:14:50.129 is why I'm like, ah, shit. Right. But that was 00:14:50.129 --> 00:14:53.809 my ready to action. So my echo manifests in a 00:14:53.809 --> 00:14:57.509 shimmery mist right behind Jessen. so like i 00:14:57.509 --> 00:15:00.250 love this beautiful dire coyote attacking from 00:15:00.250 --> 00:15:02.570 like the second story you know just like the 00:15:02.570 --> 00:15:05.350 sort of opening in this broken stone and masonry 00:15:05.350 --> 00:15:08.629 um and as this happens we hear this guard screaming 00:15:08.629 --> 00:15:12.029 we look down and we see uh uh justin this sort 00:15:12.029 --> 00:15:15.509 of backed up grindy one arm up sort of protecting 00:15:15.509 --> 00:15:17.870 jewels jewels bleeding standing at the ready 00:15:17.870 --> 00:15:20.269 dresden suddenly able to move again arms like 00:15:20.269 --> 00:15:24.409 you know come down and like a shadow The echo 00:15:24.409 --> 00:15:26.070 appears behind Justin. He, like, kind of backs 00:15:26.070 --> 00:15:28.570 into it, and he looks around. Justin's surrounded 00:15:28.570 --> 00:15:36.909 on four sides. Not like this! And that's going 00:15:36.909 --> 00:15:41.330 to be the cultists. Ruh -roh. This is where shit 00:15:41.330 --> 00:15:45.409 gets real. Okay. Spiritual weapon. Once again, 00:15:45.490 --> 00:15:48.809 a great spiritual horn. Spectral, just like this 00:15:48.809 --> 00:15:52.070 curled horn of some demon materializing in the 00:15:52.070 --> 00:15:55.490 air just behind you, just hanging outside of 00:15:55.490 --> 00:15:58.389 the tower and goes to drive itself into your 00:15:58.389 --> 00:16:01.629 back, Crispin. And I'm guessing it's going to 00:16:01.629 --> 00:16:07.649 miss. Okay. With a 10. Yes. Okay. Which leads 00:16:07.649 --> 00:16:14.340 me to a question. What do I add for my... My 00:16:14.340 --> 00:16:17.460 armor class bonus here because I'm a barbarian. 00:16:17.460 --> 00:16:22.500 And does that add on to the Dire Coyotes AC? 00:16:22.779 --> 00:16:25.919 Because the Dire Coyote has a 14 AC. But Crispin 00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:30.419 gets a boost because... You get... Oh, I don't 00:16:30.419 --> 00:16:33.159 know if that follows through on your... Oh, really? 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:36.600 Good question, though. Let me check. Okay, so 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:39.340 I will say that because when you Wild Shape, 00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:42.360 your stats become the stats of the creature. 00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:45.679 So when it says your armor class equals 10 plus 00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:48.220 your dex plus your con, that would be the dex 00:16:48.220 --> 00:16:49.759 and con of the creature since that's your current 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:53.000 stat. Okay, that's fine. It's still a plus 4 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:58.360 then. So would that make the AC 18 instead of 00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:01.360 14? It would be 14 because it's 10 plus your 00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:04.900 dex. Oh, I see, I see. Gotcha, gotcha. Okay. 00:17:05.220 --> 00:17:08.079 Gotcha. Then there we are, 14. It's a very interesting 00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:10.299 query, but I think that's the way we'd go about 00:17:10.299 --> 00:17:12.259 it, is, like, just using, just recounting. That 00:17:12.259 --> 00:17:13.779 makes sense to me. That makes sense to me. Yeah, 00:17:13.779 --> 00:17:17.640 exactly. Okay. So, yeah, I miss, you know, that 00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:21.099 you sort of lean your back down, and the blade, 00:17:21.220 --> 00:17:23.420 or the whore just, like, sweeps by your fur. 00:17:24.660 --> 00:17:27.240 Guy pulls out a twisted knife, and he moves in 00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:29.579 to attack you twice with it. Of course he does. 00:17:31.940 --> 00:17:35.559 That's one hit with a 15. Okay. And one miss. 00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:38.720 I have seven dice here, but I don't see a d4. 00:17:39.619 --> 00:17:42.259 Yeah, looks like you got two d6 there. Oh, this 00:17:42.259 --> 00:17:45.160 is a d4. Whoa, I've never seen this before. See 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.299 this? It's a square d4. Holy shit. That's really 00:17:48.299 --> 00:17:50.960 cool. Wow. Two of the edges just can't be rolled. 00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:54.160 Kitty dice, man. They're cool. Not that cool, 00:17:54.259 --> 00:17:56.539 because I only got four damage halved because 00:17:56.539 --> 00:17:59.640 you're in rage. Nice. Two damage. Sweet. Let's 00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:01.619 see if my other guy does better. as the other 00:18:01.619 --> 00:18:03.900 figure from the other side of the sort of open 00:18:03.900 --> 00:18:06.880 mouth there steps forward on his own sort of 00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:10.019 flat and sort of crumbled second story building 00:18:10.019 --> 00:18:13.140 or second story room. And good visual on you. 00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:16.759 Spiritual weapon again. And this one's going 00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:19.240 to hit. So another horn appears right beside 00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:21.460 the one, this one where you dodge the first one. 00:18:21.500 --> 00:18:24.059 This one drives deep into flesh. I'm also going 00:18:24.059 --> 00:18:25.839 to make, oh, I can't make two attacks. Nevermind. 00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:29.069 So I'll sacred flame at you as well. So we'll 00:18:29.069 --> 00:18:30.730 do all my things, so why don't you make a deck 00:18:30.730 --> 00:18:32.569 save while I calculate my damage? Okie doke. 00:18:35.670 --> 00:18:40.210 That's just a seven for the save. Okay. You take 00:18:40.210 --> 00:18:43.269 a total of ten damage. Oof. Seven of which is 00:18:43.269 --> 00:18:47.230 force damage from the horn driving into you, 00:18:47.289 --> 00:18:50.930 and three of which is radiant damage from the 00:18:50.930 --> 00:18:53.509 burning fire that lights on your back. This guy 00:18:53.509 --> 00:18:56.410 just, two hands out, starts slinging spells at 00:18:56.410 --> 00:18:59.700 you. Ouchie mama. And those are not halved. Okay, 00:18:59.740 --> 00:19:03.160 right. That's Zebulon. Zebulon, you just went 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:05.319 around that corner, turned around the stone, 00:19:05.500 --> 00:19:07.660 and all this got scared, and you just kind of 00:19:07.660 --> 00:19:09.940 start hearing shit go down hard. All hell breaks 00:19:09.940 --> 00:19:14.960 loose. Yeah. He looks at the stone of far speech 00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:18.940 in his hand. They haven't asked for help. I have 00:19:18.940 --> 00:19:22.359 a job to do. And he puts the stone of far speech 00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:24.859 away in a close pocket, maybe in a breast pocket 00:19:24.859 --> 00:19:27.609 or something. And he pulls out the recording 00:19:27.609 --> 00:19:32.329 diamond, starts to record, and moves to the door. 00:19:32.869 --> 00:19:34.410 I'm going to give you this. We had a lot of, 00:19:34.430 --> 00:19:36.049 like, talk, a lot of things just happened there. 00:19:37.809 --> 00:19:39.829 Zebulon will start this turn at the door. Oh. 00:19:39.910 --> 00:19:41.490 I'm not interested in wasting time on you spending 00:19:41.490 --> 00:19:43.890 a whole turn moving. Nice. We had a lot of, like, 00:19:43.970 --> 00:19:45.549 time -wise, it just makes sense that you would 00:19:45.549 --> 00:19:47.230 be already at least at the door after all the 00:19:47.230 --> 00:19:48.630 talk and shit that just happened right there, 00:19:48.690 --> 00:19:53.609 you know? Okay. And there's really no sense in... 00:19:54.250 --> 00:19:56.349 drawing this out. I don't know what's going to 00:19:56.349 --> 00:19:58.869 happen, but he's just going to go for it and 00:19:58.869 --> 00:20:03.410 open the door. Okay. You move to the back door. 00:20:04.289 --> 00:20:07.910 As you open the door, muffled sounds inside begin 00:20:07.910 --> 00:20:11.329 to, like, just grow louder and louder. You can 00:20:11.329 --> 00:20:14.089 hear, like, voices from sort of farther in the 00:20:14.089 --> 00:20:16.329 building. Basically just, what's happening? What's 00:20:16.329 --> 00:20:17.609 going on? What do we do? There's just people 00:20:17.609 --> 00:20:20.589 just yelling. Sounds like people who are in some 00:20:20.589 --> 00:20:24.940 sort of position of power here. You hear screaming. 00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:29.220 You hear crying. You look into this one small 00:20:29.220 --> 00:20:34.039 room about 20 by 20 feet. And you see a single 00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:37.019 guard turns to the open door that has no one 00:20:37.019 --> 00:20:39.400 in it. But this guard is like panicked, soared 00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:41.339 out. And it looks like he was reaching for the 00:20:41.339 --> 00:20:44.039 knob to open the door behind him. And you hear 00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:45.880 the screaming coming from that room. So on the 00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:47.640 south side, this guard's about to make a move. 00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:50.049 He looks back at the door. But I will say he 00:20:50.049 --> 00:20:52.269 doesn't see anything, and he turns back to what 00:20:52.269 --> 00:20:54.130 he's about to do, like opening this room, going 00:20:54.130 --> 00:20:56.750 in sword drawn to where you know there are people. 00:20:57.049 --> 00:21:01.630 Oh, okay. Gotcha. Totally. So Zebulon's going 00:21:01.630 --> 00:21:07.990 to not let him do that. What a hero. You caught 00:21:07.990 --> 00:21:11.250 him in a secret act. Yeah. So Zebulon's going 00:21:11.250 --> 00:21:15.349 to move up to him. As he moves through the door, 00:21:15.470 --> 00:21:18.399 he's going to drop the recording diamond. My 00:21:18.399 --> 00:21:23.220 hope is that it'll continue to record. And because 00:21:23.220 --> 00:21:26.160 of something that he has, oh, my dual wielder 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:33.799 feat, he can freely draw his swords and go in 00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:37.500 for two attacks on this baddie. You attack with 00:21:37.500 --> 00:21:39.700 advantage while you're invisible. But after you 00:21:39.700 --> 00:21:41.160 attack once. I was going to say, the first one 00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:43.200 probably, yeah. All right, so I'm going to roll 00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:50.599 three attacks. Let's see what hits. Okay, I rolled 00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:52.799 the first one with advantage. That was an 18 00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:58.480 for the first attack. Just a 14 for the second. 00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:02.619 Okay. That first attack does hit. Okay, and the 00:22:02.619 --> 00:22:04.299 second one does not. Actually, you know what? 00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:07.680 I didn't give these guys shields. They both hit. 00:22:07.859 --> 00:22:13.220 Just barely. Excellent. All right. And give me 00:22:13.220 --> 00:22:17.309 just a second. Sorry, I need to... Check through. 00:22:18.730 --> 00:22:21.809 That's right. Yes. Rakish Audacity. I don't need 00:22:21.809 --> 00:22:23.430 advantage on the attack roll to get sneak attack 00:22:23.430 --> 00:22:26.269 damage if I'm within five feet of an enemy and 00:22:26.269 --> 00:22:28.269 no creatures are within five feet of it. Oh, 00:22:28.289 --> 00:22:31.109 my gosh. Sneak attack on both then? Yeah. Oh, 00:22:31.269 --> 00:22:35.670 shit. That's how Zebulon gets his damage off 00:22:35.670 --> 00:22:39.930 being solo out in the battlefield. Going rogue. 00:22:40.470 --> 00:22:47.799 Yeah. That's 1d8 plus four twice. Then the sneak 00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:53.779 attack is 2d6, so I'll roll my 4 bone d6 for 00:22:53.779 --> 00:22:57.220 that. Let's do the rapier damage first. I just 00:22:57.220 --> 00:23:00.160 realized I'm glad you failed that grapple, because 00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:02.819 Jules is still poisoned, so that would have been 00:23:02.819 --> 00:23:09.140 a wedgie. So that's 18 rapier damage. Holy shit. 00:23:10.140 --> 00:23:13.700 Don't worry about it. Oh, really? This guy... 00:23:14.059 --> 00:23:15.559 It's already dead. Holy shit. Oh, yeah, I remember 00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:17.819 these guys were weenies. They're not the strongest. 00:23:18.180 --> 00:23:22.019 You just cut through this guy's armor like nothing. 00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:26.319 Describe it. Yeah, this guy turns to open the 00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:31.519 door, and Zebulon's first swing from invisibility 00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:34.400 lops his hand right off before it gets to the 00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:37.440 doorknob. Oh, shit. That's so cool. And then 00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:40.839 the second one, the guy turns up and looks, is 00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:43.819 surprised. And Zebulon just puts a slash right 00:23:43.819 --> 00:23:46.720 across his chest and he falls to the floor. Just 00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:48.660 falls over. And he's got like this armor tube. 00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:51.940 You just rake right into it. Blood pouring. He 00:23:51.940 --> 00:23:54.720 falls to the side. He did not get to reach for 00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:56.720 the doorknob fully. So the door is still closed, 00:23:56.900 --> 00:23:59.700 but you hear a sudden advent of screaming on 00:23:59.700 --> 00:24:03.480 the other side. Oh boy. I don't think he has 00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:04.859 anything. I don't think I can open the door this 00:24:04.859 --> 00:24:07.599 turn. Can I? Object interaction. Yeah. Oh, okay. 00:24:07.740 --> 00:24:12.720 Great. Yeah. Let's throw the door open. He's 00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:15.539 going to step up five more feet and open the 00:24:15.539 --> 00:24:19.779 door. You open the door. You see there are five 00:24:19.779 --> 00:24:22.180 hostages in the middle of the room. Their hands 00:24:22.180 --> 00:24:25.559 are tied. They're sitting on the floor. You see 00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:28.980 a number of general low city folk, two dwarves, 00:24:28.980 --> 00:24:31.420 a half -orc, a human woman just all looking around, 00:24:31.579 --> 00:24:34.180 looking terrified, not looking at you, looking 00:24:34.180 --> 00:24:36.819 at the other side of the room where two doors 00:24:36.819 --> 00:24:40.240 are slowly starting to open. You hear a voice 00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:43.480 on their side just saying, like, go, follow orders, 00:24:43.619 --> 00:24:47.680 take them out, do as Jensen's commanded. And 00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:51.160 you hear another bout of screaming from upstairs. 00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:55.220 I was going to say that's six hostages. Somewhere 00:24:55.220 --> 00:24:59.019 directly above you, you hear more shouts of guards, 00:24:59.140 --> 00:25:03.200 more people. Did you pull that diamond with you? 00:25:03.700 --> 00:25:06.680 No, I dropped it on the floor. Fuck me. Well, 00:25:06.779 --> 00:25:10.029 I mean, you're still invisible. No, not after 00:25:10.029 --> 00:25:12.490 attacking. Oh, fuck. It's up to David to decide 00:25:12.490 --> 00:25:14.869 what direction the diamond has pointed in. But 00:25:14.869 --> 00:25:16.970 either way, I got to worry about the hostages 00:25:16.970 --> 00:25:20.529 more than the recording diamonds. So Sebulon 00:25:20.529 --> 00:25:22.970 steps to the door and he hears this. He takes 00:25:22.970 --> 00:25:26.190 his two sabers, slaps them out to each side, 00:25:26.269 --> 00:25:28.630 and a little bit of blood drips off of each one. 00:25:29.170 --> 00:25:32.309 He looks at the hostages and just says, Run out 00:25:32.309 --> 00:25:35.049 this door behind me and don't stop until you're 00:25:35.049 --> 00:25:39.750 safe. Okay. With that, That actually is going 00:25:39.750 --> 00:25:42.490 to be, now fully getting the turn, the guards 00:25:42.490 --> 00:25:46.509 who push into the room. But where they were kind 00:25:46.509 --> 00:25:48.829 of moving in, their eyes go down to the hostages. 00:25:49.170 --> 00:25:51.569 But then the eyes shoot up towards you, Zebulon. 00:25:51.630 --> 00:25:54.150 Their swords are out. They see blood dripping 00:25:54.150 --> 00:25:56.150 from yours. They see the guard post at the other 00:25:56.150 --> 00:25:58.490 door is gone. And they're going to circle around 00:25:58.490 --> 00:26:00.990 the room to go after you, running past the helpless 00:26:00.990 --> 00:26:05.450 hostages. And they can both just reach you. Bring 00:26:05.450 --> 00:26:08.460 it. All right. Wait, the guards were before? 00:26:09.140 --> 00:26:10.759 Yes, they haven't actually done anything yet 00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:15.400 this whole time. I've got my dual wielder feat. 00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:20.579 My two swords are out, so AC is up to 17. Okay, 00:26:20.619 --> 00:26:22.319 with flanking bonus, because they bolt to each 00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:25.500 one side of you, one of them does hit. The other 00:26:25.500 --> 00:26:30.220 one does miss. Only does four points of damage, 00:26:30.220 --> 00:26:33.180 unfortunately. With a spear, it comes out. Or 00:26:33.180 --> 00:26:36.150 a sword. I said it's fear in the chassis. I said 00:26:36.150 --> 00:26:38.529 sword already. Takes a sword, rakes at you with 00:26:38.529 --> 00:26:41.309 three -point standards. Blood splatters. And 00:26:41.309 --> 00:26:47.609 you hear above you the sounds of crashing. It 00:26:47.609 --> 00:26:48.970 sounds like people are crashing against wood. 00:26:49.910 --> 00:26:52.890 Buffled sounds. Get out of there! Get down! Get 00:26:52.890 --> 00:26:55.210 out of there! Get out of there! Some trouble 00:26:55.210 --> 00:26:57.029 is happening upstairs, and I think you hear one 00:26:57.029 --> 00:26:58.730 of the hostages now, this half -orc man, just, 00:26:58.849 --> 00:27:01.710 My wife! My wife, please! She's up there! Please! 00:27:01.849 --> 00:27:05.680 Please! Crispin, that's you. All right. That 00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:07.759 was kind of my plan with Crispin anyways, was 00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:11.640 to clear the upstairs. So Crispin's going to 00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:16.359 go in for another bite on this guy. I'm guessing 00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:19.599 Jamal is still giving me pack tactics. Yeah, 00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:22.440 I'll give it to you. What's up? I thought Zeb 00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:25.059 was first in the round. Zeb was first in the 00:27:25.059 --> 00:27:26.700 round. Something happened here. You're right. 00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:29.990 Yeah, Zeb was first in the round. Crispin's like 00:27:29.990 --> 00:27:32.250 after Dresden. Crispin got an eight. I don't 00:27:32.250 --> 00:27:34.630 remember what Zeb got. Crispin's after. No, you're 00:27:34.630 --> 00:27:36.009 right. You're right. It must not have been pressing 00:27:36.009 --> 00:27:37.849 the tracker or something because, yeah, you're 00:27:37.849 --> 00:27:40.049 right. The cool fanatics would have gone, and 00:27:40.049 --> 00:27:42.089 it would have been Zeb. I'm like, excuse me? 00:27:42.309 --> 00:27:45.009 So the guards went early this turn, but they're 00:27:45.009 --> 00:27:47.710 going to skip the turn now. Because it goes Zeb 00:27:47.710 --> 00:27:49.329 and then Dresden. They'll be dead. They'll be 00:27:49.329 --> 00:27:51.849 dead. That's true. Yeah. Yeah. No, I totally 00:27:51.849 --> 00:27:54.339 forgot. You're right. So. The guards have been 00:27:54.339 --> 00:27:56.660 active at this point, but yes, I guess I've been 00:27:56.660 --> 00:27:58.339 pressing the turn thing, but must not have gone 00:27:58.339 --> 00:28:00.000 through the last few times because I was glowing 00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:02.880 on the wrong person. Easy fix. Guards skip their 00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:04.500 next turn. They got to go early because they 00:28:04.500 --> 00:28:07.000 were, I don't know, more ready than you. They 00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:09.279 wanted it more. That's going to be Dresden Jewels. 00:28:09.880 --> 00:28:11.579 Crispin, you can have your turn later. Get out 00:28:11.579 --> 00:28:14.880 of here. You worry about one guy and one guy 00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:18.500 only. Just fucking take him out. So here's the 00:28:18.500 --> 00:28:20.880 thing. You got flanking bonus. What's the thing? 00:28:20.980 --> 00:28:23.390 Watch this, though. Watch this, though. Flanking 00:28:23.390 --> 00:28:26.329 boneage. Look at the second paragraph. This is 00:28:26.329 --> 00:28:30.269 what I'm doing. Okay. Just roll with it. Okay. 00:28:30.329 --> 00:28:31.849 Just roll with it. What's happening? What's happening? 00:28:32.289 --> 00:28:35.170 What is that? Can I see that again? Can I see 00:28:35.170 --> 00:28:38.970 where that came from? Okay. So that'll be pretty 00:28:38.970 --> 00:28:42.869 much his turn. Is that a bonus? No, it's not. 00:28:43.289 --> 00:28:46.809 What's going on? No, just I'm trying something 00:28:46.809 --> 00:28:49.109 different here. I'm all for it. I'm trying something 00:28:49.109 --> 00:28:50.690 different here. I just want to see that man dead. 00:28:51.130 --> 00:28:55.049 Yes. Oh, yeah. So this may or may not work. I 00:28:55.049 --> 00:28:57.450 don't know. Of course, I want to see him dead, 00:28:57.509 --> 00:28:59.430 too. Your character's life's realistic. I fully 00:28:59.430 --> 00:29:04.210 intend on, yes, but just wait. So as a bonus 00:29:04.210 --> 00:29:06.650 action, Jules is going to cast Bardic Inspiration 00:29:06.650 --> 00:29:11.529 onto Dresden. Good move. And as an action, Jules 00:29:11.529 --> 00:29:14.930 is going to cast Minor Illusion. David, I would 00:29:14.930 --> 00:29:19.049 like you to voice Jessin screaming, abort, abort. 00:29:19.789 --> 00:29:25.490 In the courtyard, on me, now. Holy shit. That's 00:29:25.490 --> 00:29:30.029 pretty fucking good. Okay. I would like you to 00:29:30.029 --> 00:29:33.970 pair this. You create a sound or an image of 00:29:33.970 --> 00:29:37.069 an object within range. The range is 30 feet. 00:29:37.349 --> 00:29:41.210 Yes. The sound can be loud or soft. It can be 00:29:41.210 --> 00:29:44.589 loud or soft. Yes. I think this is actually totally 00:29:44.589 --> 00:29:48.109 by books. It's up to David to decide. You're 00:29:48.109 --> 00:29:50.930 weaving this sound out there. I want Jules to 00:29:50.930 --> 00:29:53.210 make a persuasion check. I'm going to give you 00:29:53.210 --> 00:29:55.430 advantage because it's really cool, which will 00:29:55.430 --> 00:29:57.690 counterbalance your poison. So it's a straight 00:29:57.690 --> 00:30:02.170 roll. Oh, yeah, fair. Okay, so what is it? Persuasion? 00:30:02.750 --> 00:30:06.299 Yes. Okay. This is... really, really cool. And 00:30:06.299 --> 00:30:08.200 I'm going to voice it based on how well your 00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:09.440 persuasion works. At your point, you're sick. 00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:11.099 Maybe it doesn't come out like you're kind of 00:30:11.099 --> 00:30:12.079 trying to create this and it doesn't come out 00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:14.039 quite right. That's fair. It's an intelligence 00:30:14.039 --> 00:30:17.640 role to see if it's... Because I'm going to have 00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:21.599 Zebulon roll against it. Okay. Well, I mean, 00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:23.519 also Dresden hasn't gone yet and he also has 00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:26.059 the stone. Well, right. But if the guards can 00:30:26.059 --> 00:30:28.200 hear it, I assume Zebulon can hear it. Right. 00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:32.079 I just want to know if Zebulon can determine 00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:34.240 whether or not it's actually... Would that determine 00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:36.779 whether he runs down there or not, too? Well, 00:30:36.779 --> 00:30:38.880 no, but I don't know what it's going to determine. 00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:45.680 I just want to... That is a 19 on the die. Plus 00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:52.880 8. So that is a 27 on persuasion. Ringing out 00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:57.480 from the courtyard in this perfect... Perfect 00:30:57.480 --> 00:31:01.440 impression of Justin's voice. Just... Abort! 00:31:01.700 --> 00:31:06.099 Abort! Everybody to the courtyard on me now! 00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:09.900 Justin just whips around. What? No! No, what? 00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:13.000 He even kind of flummoxed, like, hearing this. 00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:15.680 And in that moment, Dresden is taking his turn. 00:31:16.259 --> 00:31:20.480 Oh, shit! And moving up and grabbing Justin. 00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:25.059 Can I shut his mouth with my hand? Let's make 00:31:25.059 --> 00:31:28.359 it a... Grapple check. What are we going for, 00:31:28.420 --> 00:31:31.839 athletics? Is that it? Yes. I'm a little concerned, 00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:35.119 Jeremy. Why? Because Justin hasn't taken any 00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:37.579 damage, and you just called his remaining guards 00:31:37.579 --> 00:31:39.859 to his side. We're trying to keep the hostages 00:31:39.859 --> 00:31:43.460 safe. Playing like superheroes. This is Jules 00:31:43.460 --> 00:31:45.319 and Dresden. All right. We're trying to keep 00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:48.019 the hostages safe. Advantage on my check. Give 00:31:48.019 --> 00:31:58.950 me that. Oh, shit. 19. No, I did not! You grab 00:31:58.950 --> 00:32:03.210 him, shut his mouth. He is grappled. And we zoom 00:32:03.210 --> 00:32:06.390 very quickly back down into the house, downstairs, 00:32:06.509 --> 00:32:08.670 as these guards are surrounding Zebulon. You 00:32:08.670 --> 00:32:10.470 hear another crash of stairs, and you hear this 00:32:10.470 --> 00:32:13.609 voice ring out. And immediately you hear footsteps 00:32:13.609 --> 00:32:17.509 up the stairs, trapping away. The guards facing 00:32:17.509 --> 00:32:20.569 you do not move. I'm just saying that they basically, 00:32:20.710 --> 00:32:23.319 like, they're moving. Okay. They are reacting. 00:32:23.940 --> 00:32:25.500 They did get the turn. They're just skipping 00:32:25.500 --> 00:32:28.819 their next turn. Sure, sure. Yeah. So, yeah, 00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:30.420 you're aware that this did work on the guards 00:32:30.420 --> 00:32:33.279 upstairs. Okay. The guards downstairs, they're 00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:35.619 engaged. They're going to kill you first. No, 00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:40.039 they're not. So, in terms of Dresden's turn, 00:32:40.220 --> 00:32:42.819 I would imagine that what I just did counted 00:32:42.819 --> 00:32:45.420 as my action. Yes, that's your action. So I'm 00:32:45.420 --> 00:32:47.980 going to use action surge. Oh, shit. So I can 00:32:47.980 --> 00:32:50.599 take one additional action on my turn. Now one 00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:53.400 additional action is going to be an attack from 00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:57.440 my echo. Okay. Now do I get flanking? You do 00:32:57.440 --> 00:32:58.799 get flanking, yes. I can see it's fucking surrounded. 00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:00.960 Yes. So that's just plus two, right? Plus two. 00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:04.420 Plus two. I feel like I ask this every time. 00:33:04.859 --> 00:33:08.240 Grapple does not add advantage. Okay. Cool. I 00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:11.740 knew it was coming. Rules as written and it doesn't. 00:33:11.740 --> 00:33:13.819 It seems strange, but if you were to like grapple 00:33:13.819 --> 00:33:16.880 someone and then push them. like shove them down, 00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:19.299 then they cannot get up because their speed is 00:33:19.299 --> 00:33:21.380 zero. So that's how you can get advantage with 00:33:21.380 --> 00:33:23.680 it. Someday I'll remember that. And someday we 00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:27.039 won't have to have this conversation. All right. 00:33:27.059 --> 00:33:29.619 So I'm going in for an attack with my echo. All 00:33:29.619 --> 00:33:32.440 right. And I do not have that magic shield around 00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:34.480 me this time. I did not cast shield of faith. 00:33:34.519 --> 00:33:37.039 I don't think it would have done anything anyway, 00:33:37.140 --> 00:33:42.599 because that is a fuck math. Fuck math. Fuck 00:33:42.599 --> 00:33:45.619 math, right? That's a 24 to hit. That's going 00:33:45.619 --> 00:33:51.480 to hit for sure. Damage is 1d8 plus 5. That is 00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:54.279 a 6 on the die plus 5, so that is 11 for damage, 00:33:54.359 --> 00:33:57.740 but no, I'm going to take the 11 damage. Okay. 00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:02.220 Just screams out, just grabs, or tries to scream 00:34:02.220 --> 00:34:04.160 out, can't quite, hand over his mouth, but Blade 00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:07.220 just rips down his back, still grappled, kind 00:34:07.220 --> 00:34:09.539 of like he's able to move freely his arms and 00:34:09.539 --> 00:34:12.150 stuff, but he can't. move his feet. He cannot 00:34:12.150 --> 00:34:15.369 get away from you. His speed is zero. And he's 00:34:15.369 --> 00:34:19.090 starting to bleed. That's both your turns. Which 00:34:19.090 --> 00:34:22.550 means it's now Jessen's turn. I didn't know where 00:34:22.550 --> 00:34:24.909 you were going with that. I didn't either. Good 00:34:24.909 --> 00:34:28.969 shit. Thank you. Beneath Dresden's hand, he is 00:34:28.969 --> 00:34:35.369 here. As Jessen weaves out with his sword twice 00:34:35.369 --> 00:34:38.590 at Jules. Still going to make good on that promise. 00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:40.920 I'm taking out the prince, and I'm going to make 00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:44.760 my brother watch. Well, Jules is going down. 00:34:45.219 --> 00:34:53.460 Yeah. That is one hit. Seven damage. Has my sword. 00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:58.260 Hoax true. I slashed Jules twice before, and 00:34:58.260 --> 00:35:00.000 he's just going to try to drive right, sort of 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:01.480 in the middle of the X kind of thing, right into 00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:04.619 Jules' abdomen, just plunging the blade into 00:35:04.619 --> 00:35:08.349 flesh. How much did you say? Seven. Okay, Jules 00:35:08.349 --> 00:35:12.050 is down. Jules slides off the blade, drops in 00:35:12.050 --> 00:35:15.309 the courtyard. Grindy, no, just screams out. 00:35:15.750 --> 00:35:18.849 And that's the last thing Jules hears as he falls 00:35:18.849 --> 00:35:21.469 into a consciousness. That's all Justin's going 00:35:21.469 --> 00:35:29.369 to do. Grindy flies in with his one arm and clocks. 00:35:29.969 --> 00:35:33.550 Jessent in the face for one damage. Go Grindy. 00:35:33.969 --> 00:35:37.969 Hell yeah. Single unarmed attack. Literal unarmed 00:35:37.969 --> 00:35:41.550 attack. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Just boom. Punches 00:35:41.550 --> 00:35:46.449 him. You bastard. Just clocks him good. Still 00:35:46.449 --> 00:35:49.510 standing tall there. With that, it's my guards 00:35:49.510 --> 00:35:51.030 who are skipping their turn because they already 00:35:51.030 --> 00:35:53.989 went. And so we're going to move on to Crispin. 00:35:54.449 --> 00:35:58.329 Crispin. All right. Going in for that advantage. 00:36:01.369 --> 00:36:05.570 bite uh good for thing good thing for the advantage 00:36:05.570 --> 00:36:10.809 that's a 21 that'll hit all right so that's a 00:36:10.809 --> 00:36:18.190 2d6 plus three that's only seven damage oh my 00:36:18.190 --> 00:36:21.469 goodness um i i forgot about this last time so 00:36:21.469 --> 00:36:24.380 hand off the chess piece but If the target is 00:36:24.380 --> 00:36:27.079 a creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 strength 00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:29.039 saving throw or be knocked prone. Oh, right. 00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:30.800 Okay. Plus you get nine damage because you got 00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:33.820 two more for rage. Yes. Thank you. Oh, my goodness. 00:36:33.960 --> 00:36:35.960 Thank goodness Dave is here to play my character 00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:43.219 for me. What's the DC? 13. 13. I pass. Just for 00:36:43.219 --> 00:36:44.820 shits and giggles, give me a second one just 00:36:44.820 --> 00:36:47.860 to pretend that it was... I would have failed. 00:36:48.179 --> 00:36:51.579 Damn. Shit. All right. I would have failed by 00:36:51.579 --> 00:36:54.460 one, actually. That's fine. That's fine. So you 00:36:54.460 --> 00:36:57.659 go to chum down. He's sort of holding his own 00:36:57.659 --> 00:36:59.380 against you, barely keeping his feet. Man, I 00:36:59.380 --> 00:37:01.079 really want this guy to die. Tearing into him. 00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:04.079 He looks pretty bad now. Okay. It's now going 00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:06.780 to be his turn. So let's make this quick. Two 00:37:06.780 --> 00:37:09.559 daggers, one spiritual weapon. Make a dex save 00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:14.900 for me while we're at it. 19 on the dex save. 00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:21.460 That's a lot of dice for a little turn. Next 00:37:21.460 --> 00:37:25.559 thing goes what? 19. Okay. So I only hit you. 00:37:25.659 --> 00:37:27.639 Another spiritual weapon comes down. It does 00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:31.340 hit for very little damage, only four damage 00:37:31.340 --> 00:37:34.440 force, so not halved. You then take four dagger 00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:36.019 damage, which will be halved to two, so you take 00:37:36.019 --> 00:37:38.639 six damage total. My other dagger goes wide to 00:37:38.639 --> 00:37:41.400 the mark. My sacred flame I shoot at you goes 00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:43.260 wide to the mark. All right. Second spiritual 00:37:43.260 --> 00:37:47.190 weapon, wide to the mark. Wow. Okay, great. Not 00:37:47.190 --> 00:37:49.869 a great turn for me. You've managed to dodge 00:37:49.869 --> 00:37:51.630 around all this. There's projectiles around you, 00:37:51.630 --> 00:37:53.710 fire, like white fire, black fire burning on 00:37:53.710 --> 00:37:55.989 you. These great sort of spiritual horns trying 00:37:55.989 --> 00:37:58.269 to drive into you. Only one sinks in, just barely 00:37:58.269 --> 00:38:01.369 grazing your sort of arm, shoulder, ripping into 00:38:01.369 --> 00:38:04.789 it. You're holding your own just fine. And that's 00:38:04.789 --> 00:38:09.210 those two cultists. That's Zebulon. Okay. Zebulon 00:38:09.210 --> 00:38:12.389 looks to his right, looks to his left. Who's 00:38:12.389 --> 00:38:17.900 first? Does anybody flinch? You know what? You 00:38:17.900 --> 00:38:19.619 have bloody weapons. Give me an intimidation 00:38:19.619 --> 00:38:25.039 check. Three on the die plus one. No one flinches. 00:38:25.179 --> 00:38:29.039 Nobody flinches. All right, then I'll choose. 00:38:30.539 --> 00:38:39.139 And he swings twice at the guard to his right. 00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:46.960 Seven on the die for a 13 for the first one. 00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:50.659 The second one was a natural one. A 13 and a 00:38:50.659 --> 00:38:54.059 one, huh? A 13 and a one. That's two misses. 00:38:54.539 --> 00:38:59.519 Oh, no. That's really bad. There is really nothing 00:38:59.519 --> 00:39:07.840 else that I can do, I don't think. Whoops. Yikes. 00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:10.320 And unfortunately, that is the end of Zebulon's 00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:14.769 turn. That really sucks. It's rough, yeah. Hey, 00:39:15.150 --> 00:39:16.650 you're still holding their attention, but they're 00:39:16.650 --> 00:39:19.809 certainly not flinching now. Yeah. Zebulon tries 00:39:19.809 --> 00:39:21.929 so hard to be cool, and you do such a good job 00:39:21.929 --> 00:39:24.170 playing him cool, your dice don't follow through. 00:39:24.250 --> 00:39:26.989 I know. Crispin gets all the good rolls. I just 00:39:26.989 --> 00:39:30.250 don't get it. It's some sort of fate. The universe 00:39:30.250 --> 00:39:33.630 wants to shit on Zebulon. Oh, hell yeah. Okay, 00:39:33.730 --> 00:39:36.429 back to Dresden and Jules outside. Okay, so I 00:39:36.429 --> 00:39:39.050 have a minor wedgie that I totally... It didn't... 00:39:39.599 --> 00:39:41.400 really fuck anything up, but I totally forgot 00:39:41.400 --> 00:39:43.440 that my fighting style, it gives me dueling, 00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:46.440 so when I am wielding one melee weapon, I get 00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:49.380 plus two bonus to damage. Oh, hell yeah. So, 00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:51.800 I'm going to remember that going forward, because 00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:53.239 that could have been 13 damage instead of 11. 00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:54.940 I'll take the damage. We know what the set number 00:39:54.940 --> 00:39:56.139 is. It's not like we're rolling anything. I'll 00:39:56.139 --> 00:40:00.119 drop it on my guy. Okay. Uh, fuck. You want to 00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:03.079 make your death roll first or after with jewels? 00:40:04.360 --> 00:40:09.460 Dresden is going to shove Jess in. as far as 00:40:09.460 --> 00:40:13.300 he can push him, turn over two jewels, and give 00:40:13.300 --> 00:40:17.800 him a potion of greater healing. Oh, shit. All 00:40:17.800 --> 00:40:19.400 right, for a shove action, it's going to be athletics 00:40:19.400 --> 00:40:21.199 versus athletics to see if you can push him away. 00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:24.699 I mean, even if I don't push him away, he's still 00:40:24.699 --> 00:40:26.179 going to let go and go down and give it to him. 00:40:26.260 --> 00:40:28.019 This is just trying to get some distance. Yeah, 00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:34.949 okay. That is an 18. Ooh, um... Huh. If you use 00:40:34.949 --> 00:40:36.690 a shove action, that would be your action, and 00:40:36.690 --> 00:40:38.670 delivering a potion is also an action. Right. 00:40:38.909 --> 00:40:41.309 Yeah. Oh, so the shove would be an action. So 00:40:41.309 --> 00:40:44.409 you could... You can move with him, so you can 00:40:44.409 --> 00:40:45.750 just get to Jules and do it, but you wouldn't 00:40:45.750 --> 00:40:47.250 be able to technically shove. I have an idea. 00:40:47.550 --> 00:40:53.190 Sure. What would it cost to hand the potion to 00:40:53.190 --> 00:40:55.929 Grindy? Is it possible to do that and hold the 00:40:55.929 --> 00:40:58.250 grapple? I will call that an object interaction. 00:40:58.409 --> 00:40:59.969 You could shove him away or hold the grapple 00:40:59.969 --> 00:41:02.309 and give it to Grindy. then maybe you can make 00:41:02.309 --> 00:41:04.530 a move action. You can make a move action and 00:41:04.530 --> 00:41:05.929 try to get him away from Jules, because right 00:41:05.929 --> 00:41:08.510 now he's still within Jules' reach. So he can 00:41:08.510 --> 00:41:11.989 still attack Jules. Right. But I can also attack 00:41:11.989 --> 00:41:16.050 him as well. Object interaction. Does that count 00:41:16.050 --> 00:41:17.969 as an action? No, that's an object interaction. 00:41:17.989 --> 00:41:20.730 You can pass the potion, then you can move action, 00:41:20.829 --> 00:41:25.050 drag him away, and then you can action attack. 00:41:25.329 --> 00:41:29.559 If you push someone down prone too, Because you 00:41:29.559 --> 00:41:31.000 can either push them five feet away, or you can 00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:32.280 push them prone. And since you already have them 00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:34.820 grappled, I wouldn't be able to move or do anything, 00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:36.960 basically. I could only, like, disadvantageously 00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:38.800 try to attack you. Okay, because I won that, 00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:42.219 didn't I? 18. I'm not telling. Okay. Well, yes, 00:41:42.300 --> 00:41:44.739 that's what's going to happen. Grindy, get Jules. 00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:49.159 And he tosses the potion to Grindy. Grindy snatches 00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:51.920 it out of the air, just, like, nods to you, and 00:41:51.920 --> 00:41:54.440 it just goes to work. And as that's happening, 00:41:54.619 --> 00:41:59.039 I push with an 18. And I fail with a one on the 00:41:59.039 --> 00:42:02.519 die. You got a natural one? With a natural one, 00:42:02.739 --> 00:42:05.619 he absolutely goes. Tell you what, I'll give 00:42:05.619 --> 00:42:07.539 you a double. I was going to say, how far did 00:42:07.539 --> 00:42:10.380 you move? I'm going to say that because I got 00:42:10.380 --> 00:42:13.280 a natural one, he goes prone and he moves five 00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:17.679 feet, which means he's away from Jules. You move 00:42:17.679 --> 00:42:20.070 him away five feet. He's away from Jules. He 00:42:20.070 --> 00:42:21.849 cannot attack Jules. You, like, throw him over 00:42:21.849 --> 00:42:23.789 your... I mean, you want to grab him and you, 00:42:23.829 --> 00:42:25.989 like, hand the potion over. Use all your strength 00:42:25.989 --> 00:42:29.610 to pivot, twist, drop him down. He's grappled. 00:42:30.070 --> 00:42:33.610 He's restrained. And he's away from Jules and 00:42:33.610 --> 00:42:36.550 cannot hurt Jules anymore. Right. That is what 00:42:36.550 --> 00:42:40.130 you get for that natural one. Okay. So. So I 00:42:40.130 --> 00:42:41.849 basically had you twist him around and dropped 00:42:41.849 --> 00:42:43.269 him between you and the Echo. So now you and 00:42:43.269 --> 00:42:45.550 the Echo are just standing over him as our Dresden 00:42:45.550 --> 00:42:47.730 Echo is standing over him as Jules is on the 00:42:47.730 --> 00:42:50.030 ground. Grindy turning with a potion to feed 00:42:50.030 --> 00:42:54.849 it to him. Okay. So. Then that is Dresden's turn. 00:42:55.050 --> 00:42:59.289 Okay. Jessent is on the ground. Just like still 00:42:59.289 --> 00:43:02.320 bleeding. Now. grappled, held to the ground, 00:43:02.440 --> 00:43:04.639 just screeching out, trying to move, trying to 00:43:04.639 --> 00:43:07.480 do anything he can. Hands still over his mouth, 00:43:07.539 --> 00:43:10.460 because why not, as both Dresden and his Echo 00:43:10.460 --> 00:43:12.719 stand above him. I told you there was another 00:43:12.719 --> 00:43:18.099 way. It didn't have to be like this. Now you 00:43:18.099 --> 00:43:22.699 die. Holy shit! I need Jules to make a death 00:43:22.699 --> 00:43:28.099 save. That's a fucking two. So that's one fail. 00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:32.219 Oh, boy, this is rough because now it is Jessen, 00:43:32.219 --> 00:43:35.980 and he's in a really bad place. Oh, this sucks. 00:43:36.119 --> 00:43:38.579 Okay. I can still attack with this advantage. 00:43:39.659 --> 00:43:42.019 Okay. I'm going to try to break the grapple. 00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:43.519 I'm going to try to break the athletics contest. 00:43:43.619 --> 00:43:50.480 Let's do this thing. 22. Two on the die face. 00:43:50.659 --> 00:43:54.920 Holy shit. just fully down. You're getting a 00:43:54.920 --> 00:43:56.820 better grip on him as he's wriggling, trying 00:43:56.820 --> 00:44:00.159 to get out. His eyes go wide as he realizes that 00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:03.500 maybe, just maybe, you're telling the truth and 00:44:03.500 --> 00:44:06.840 this is the end. With that, Grindy leans over 00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:10.440 and Justin's eyes go wide, ballistic, as he watches 00:44:10.440 --> 00:44:13.539 Grindy pouring the potion in to Jules' mouth. 00:44:14.039 --> 00:44:17.860 You may roll to heal. Should I roll for once 00:44:17.860 --> 00:44:22.340 or one at a time? Up to you. No, tell me what 00:44:22.340 --> 00:44:28.039 to do. What's the die? Is it a d6? It's 4d4 plus 00:44:28.039 --> 00:44:31.159 4. How many d4s you got in front of you there? 00:44:31.539 --> 00:44:34.760 Four. Go for it, man. Yeah, go all four. Fuck 00:44:34.760 --> 00:44:36.079 it. Let's avoid a three -parter. Nice and quick. 00:44:36.579 --> 00:44:38.679 Got it. And they're all blessed, too, by the 00:44:38.679 --> 00:44:40.800 way. Excellent. Everything on here is blessed. 00:44:41.079 --> 00:44:43.139 Excellent. That's an extra plus one, right? Yeah. 00:44:43.579 --> 00:44:49.440 Yep. So that's 11 points. Your wound, your chest. 00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:53.199 And your gut just starts to close. And Jules' 00:44:53.300 --> 00:44:57.280 eyes open, looking up to an old man just smiling 00:44:57.280 --> 00:45:04.800 down at you. Jules. Jules. Thank you. Show him 00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:09.260 that they can't kill our hope. Shit, I was trying 00:45:09.260 --> 00:45:13.320 to think of some epic line. Something cool to 00:45:13.320 --> 00:45:15.860 say. But it's too late now. All you get it is 00:45:15.860 --> 00:45:20.019 a thank you grindy That's all you get my brain 00:45:20.019 --> 00:45:21.639 is so frazzled right now. I don't know which 00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:25.019 way is up and down. It's a lot. This is a complex 00:45:25.019 --> 00:45:28.500 combat. Let me roll a couple of Texans I'll be 00:45:28.500 --> 00:45:34.260 on real quick 17 good luck you suckers. Oh 17. 00:45:34.400 --> 00:45:36.059 Yeah. No, I actually missed twice. Damn. Holy 00:45:36.059 --> 00:45:39.030 shit. Just swords go out. You just dodge them 00:45:39.030 --> 00:45:41.150 both. The people in the room are just watching 00:45:41.150 --> 00:45:43.730 this display. You can hear footsteps above you 00:45:43.730 --> 00:45:45.289 moving now as guards are cutting towards the 00:45:45.289 --> 00:45:47.550 stairs. You can hear them start thundering down 00:45:47.550 --> 00:45:51.050 the stairs to the north of you on their way down. 00:45:51.949 --> 00:45:53.869 You haven't seen a staircase here yet, but you 00:45:53.869 --> 00:45:56.349 can assume where it is. Yeah, behind me. Quick 00:45:56.349 --> 00:46:00.510 question. Have the hostages run? They're tied 00:46:00.510 --> 00:46:05.300 up. And also... you're in the way of the door. 00:46:05.440 --> 00:46:06.400 They're basically going to start moving away 00:46:06.400 --> 00:46:08.260 from the door. Well, yeah, because you can move 00:46:08.260 --> 00:46:10.059 through an allied space. Yeah, and I guess, yeah, 00:46:10.179 --> 00:46:13.699 okay. If Justin is down and incapacitated, then, 00:46:13.719 --> 00:46:16.159 yeah. Okay, we're good. They're at least shuffling, 00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:17.659 we'll say, towards the door and trying to move 00:46:17.659 --> 00:46:20.420 away from the combat, trying to follow on what 00:46:20.420 --> 00:46:22.760 Zebulon said and get as far away as they can. 00:46:23.579 --> 00:46:25.320 And upstairs, the screaming sounds like it's 00:46:25.320 --> 00:46:27.320 died down as the figures that were crashing through 00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:29.300 the door up there are now on their way to the 00:46:29.300 --> 00:46:32.059 courtyard. Those hostages are, for now, it seems, 00:46:32.219 --> 00:46:35.489 protected. Okay. Crispin, that's you. All right. 00:46:35.550 --> 00:46:38.650 I need to take this guy out for the love of God. 00:46:42.130 --> 00:46:46.909 All right. That's a 21 on his bite. That'll do 00:46:46.909 --> 00:46:55.230 it. With the rage damage, that's 12. Barely. 00:46:55.659 --> 00:46:58.679 barely alive as you tear into him. Oh no! He's 00:46:58.679 --> 00:47:01.920 like, legs are shaking. He's almost falling over. 00:47:02.139 --> 00:47:06.280 Alright, um, DC 13 strength check. Oh yeah! Strength 00:47:06.280 --> 00:47:10.679 save, sorry. Absolute fail with a three. Okay, 00:47:10.739 --> 00:47:12.820 excellent. I'm gonna give you this because this 00:47:12.820 --> 00:47:16.440 is cool. He's barely alive anyway. You bite into 00:47:16.440 --> 00:47:19.579 him as he fails that strength check. You toss 00:47:19.579 --> 00:47:24.739 him over your shoulder. He Falls down is going 00:47:24.739 --> 00:47:27.840 to take 1d6 falling damage. Excellent. All right. 00:47:27.880 --> 00:47:32.539 I'll take a free kill. And dies. Excellent. Just, 00:47:32.539 --> 00:47:37.860 no! Willhelm scream. Splats in the courtyard 00:47:37.860 --> 00:47:42.179 below you. All right. Now I want to use the Dire 00:47:42.179 --> 00:47:47.320 Coyote's keen hearing and smell. The Dire Coyote 00:47:47.320 --> 00:47:50.539 has advantage on wisdom perception checks that 00:47:50.539 --> 00:47:55.500 rely on hearing or smell. Um, I want to see if 00:47:55.500 --> 00:47:58.260 what I can glean about what's going on on the 00:47:58.260 --> 00:48:01.179 second floor. Give me a perception with advantage. 00:48:04.619 --> 00:48:07.659 Let's see what you got. Damn. Just 11. Uh, yeah, 00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:11.559 you don't know. Okay. Then, um, with his 50 feet 00:48:11.559 --> 00:48:15.039 of movement, um, Crispin is going to start to 00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:18.079 move through the second floor, uh, as far as 00:48:18.079 --> 00:48:20.360 he can get. Put you on that map. Okay, second 00:48:20.360 --> 00:48:24.679 floor. Yeah, this guy totally falls off. I think 00:48:24.679 --> 00:48:26.980 Jamal just steps to the side, just like, thank 00:48:26.980 --> 00:48:30.599 you, dog friend. I'm Jamal. And just move past. 00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:34.760 You're out of there. So it seems like you can 00:48:34.760 --> 00:48:37.980 get somewhere in this sort of area. How do you 00:48:37.980 --> 00:48:40.260 open a door? What's it look like? With his teeth? 00:48:40.380 --> 00:48:42.679 I don't know. All right, cool. Can a dire wolf 00:48:42.679 --> 00:48:45.599 open a door with teeth? I'm cool if you're cool. 00:48:45.719 --> 00:48:47.619 I'll go with it. I'd argue that he's big enough 00:48:47.619 --> 00:48:50.360 to break down a door. Sure. You bash through 00:48:50.360 --> 00:48:52.559 the first door, basically going into another 00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:55.400 small room. You see a door on each side. The 00:48:55.400 --> 00:48:58.519 door to the north of where you stand, which basically 00:48:58.519 --> 00:49:00.320 would enter the hallway where you would be above 00:49:00.320 --> 00:49:02.719 Zebulon. You can hear the sounds of footsteps 00:49:02.719 --> 00:49:05.260 retreating down that way. You can hear people 00:49:05.260 --> 00:49:07.460 sort of like, little sounds of people just kind 00:49:07.460 --> 00:49:09.900 of talking and then Jonah crying and sort of 00:49:09.900 --> 00:49:15.539 soft. Okay. Give me one sec here. This map, so 00:49:15.539 --> 00:49:18.400 gorgeous. Once again, I'll show you the whole 00:49:18.400 --> 00:49:21.280 thing. It's amazing. Yeah. All right, so I just 00:49:21.280 --> 00:49:24.360 want to get it out there. On Crispin's next turn, 00:49:24.519 --> 00:49:29.539 if he can't reach and attack an enemy, then he 00:49:29.539 --> 00:49:33.039 will fall out of rage. Okay. I just want to put 00:49:33.039 --> 00:49:34.059 that out there because it's probably going to 00:49:34.059 --> 00:49:37.500 happen. And that's the end of his turn. Okay. 00:49:38.260 --> 00:49:40.239 You have moved away. My cultists can no longer 00:49:40.239 --> 00:49:43.420 attack you. I have one cultist left. Spiritual 00:49:43.420 --> 00:49:45.960 weapon. One of them flashes out. The other one's 00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:48.639 going to zoom down towards Dresden. Oh, that's 00:49:48.639 --> 00:49:53.039 right. And miss. Dresden, make a dex save. Hey. 00:49:55.119 --> 00:49:59.840 That's a 19. Fire bursts next to you. You weave 00:49:59.840 --> 00:50:02.639 out of the way just easily. Still grappling. 00:50:02.820 --> 00:50:05.380 You're like, maybe like roll with Jessenth. And 00:50:05.380 --> 00:50:08.300 just the fire bursts. Figurative swears. And 00:50:08.300 --> 00:50:11.539 you are fine. Zebulon, that's you. Can you do 00:50:11.539 --> 00:50:14.579 something this turn? Do something, Zebulon! Yep, 00:50:14.739 --> 00:50:18.880 Zebulon's going to attack the same baddie to 00:50:18.880 --> 00:50:26.059 his right twice. First was an 18, second was 00:50:26.059 --> 00:50:33.179 just a 9. Okay, first one hits. 9 damage. Still 00:50:33.179 --> 00:50:35.539 up, very injured. Crap, I was afraid of that. 00:50:36.139 --> 00:50:39.639 Give me one quick check to look through my bonus 00:50:39.639 --> 00:50:42.730 actions here. You know, I can use Steady Aim 00:50:42.730 --> 00:50:46.449 on a melee attack, too. Yeah, you can. Well, 00:50:46.530 --> 00:50:48.369 not anymore. I can't because it's the end of 00:50:48.369 --> 00:50:51.329 my turn. I mean, it'll cost nothing for you to 00:50:51.329 --> 00:50:53.929 take that self -harm. Just give me a free second 00:50:53.929 --> 00:50:58.110 roll on that. You already hit, so just add the 00:50:58.110 --> 00:50:59.150 Sneak Attack. You would have gotten more Steady 00:50:59.150 --> 00:51:01.789 Aim. That just cleanly fixes it. I can't do Sneak 00:51:01.789 --> 00:51:03.190 Attack because I have another creature within 00:51:03.190 --> 00:51:04.909 five feet of me. Well, you have advantage, though, 00:51:04.929 --> 00:51:07.769 with Steady Aim. Oh, my goodness. Yeah. Oh, okay. 00:51:07.869 --> 00:51:09.269 So just add your Sneak Attack die and see if 00:51:09.269 --> 00:51:11.039 that'll finish him. because it's a really easy 00:51:11.039 --> 00:51:13.239 fix. So it's like, I'm cool with going back and 00:51:13.239 --> 00:51:15.639 fixing a turn up if it's a real simple fix like 00:51:15.639 --> 00:51:16.920 that, you know? Sure, yeah. It's just like, add 00:51:16.920 --> 00:51:19.980 another die of damage? Why not? Well, it's 2d6 00:51:19.980 --> 00:51:23.320 damage. Hell yeah. See if you can get him. First 00:51:23.320 --> 00:51:26.440 one was a six. He's dead. Okay, sweet. Excellent 00:51:26.440 --> 00:51:29.380 then. Fuck yeah. So yeah, the actuality. So it's 00:51:29.380 --> 00:51:31.019 one of those things you cut him and he's all 00:51:31.019 --> 00:51:33.420 like, heh, I'm still. And then he just falls 00:51:33.420 --> 00:51:36.619 in half. And then like anime blood starts to 00:51:36.619 --> 00:51:40.780 squirt out of his wound. That sound it always 00:51:40.780 --> 00:51:44.539 makes. You turn towards the other guy, and this 00:51:44.539 --> 00:51:49.780 time he flinches. Jules and Dresden, back to 00:51:49.780 --> 00:51:53.500 middle of the courtyard with you. Okay, so as 00:51:53.500 --> 00:51:55.400 a bonus action, Jules is going to cast Bardic 00:51:55.400 --> 00:51:58.460 Inspiration onto himself. Now remind me about 00:51:58.460 --> 00:52:00.900 the poison, because I keep getting those mixed 00:52:00.900 --> 00:52:03.400 up. Joe, disadvantage on attack rolls. On attack 00:52:03.400 --> 00:52:05.840 rolls, okay. And checks, ability checks. Okay. 00:52:06.250 --> 00:52:07.909 You also have advantage against Jessenth right 00:52:07.909 --> 00:52:09.130 now, so it would break even. Right, so it would 00:52:09.130 --> 00:52:13.269 break even? Yep. Okay. So, question. When a spell 00:52:13.269 --> 00:52:16.710 requires a melee attack roll, do I get the unarmed 00:52:16.710 --> 00:52:19.289 strike plus two? It would be your spell attack 00:52:19.289 --> 00:52:24.289 bonus. Holy shit. Seriously? Yeah. Holy shit. 00:52:24.369 --> 00:52:25.889 It just means that you have to hit them with 00:52:25.889 --> 00:52:27.750 attack and melee range, but you get your spell 00:52:27.750 --> 00:52:29.469 attack bonus, so it's pretty good. Holy shit. 00:52:29.510 --> 00:52:32.190 It's pretty good. Holy shit. You have a big -ass 00:52:32.190 --> 00:52:34.550 charisma number. You're a suave motherfucker. 00:52:35.150 --> 00:52:38.019 Holy shit. Kill this man. Holy shit. Kill this 00:52:38.019 --> 00:52:45.099 man. Jules, very slowly, in badass fashion, walks 00:52:45.099 --> 00:52:48.440 up to where Jessenth is being held down. Holy 00:52:48.440 --> 00:52:55.360 shit. Kneels on one knee. Who's fucked now? Oh, 00:52:55.360 --> 00:53:01.280 shit. And with Jessenth looking at Jules, Jules 00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:03.699 removes his glove. Oh, no, he doesn't have the 00:53:03.699 --> 00:53:05.710 glove anymore. Oh, that's right, yeah. So actually, 00:53:05.789 --> 00:53:07.989 Jules is going to just lean his hand down in 00:53:07.989 --> 00:53:10.570 front of Justin's face, wiggle his fingers a 00:53:10.570 --> 00:53:14.369 little bit, place his hand over Justin's eyes, 00:53:14.590 --> 00:53:19.269 and cast Inflict Wounds. Okay. I'm going for 00:53:19.269 --> 00:53:21.409 it. Go for it. I'm fucking going for it. Take 00:53:21.409 --> 00:53:23.909 a flanking bonus. Next is the no -no zone. Guys 00:53:23.909 --> 00:53:25.829 surrounded, yeah, you can easily slot in. That's 00:53:25.829 --> 00:53:30.250 a plus eight on this. Ooh, boy. Holy shit. Get 00:53:30.250 --> 00:53:33.070 him. Advantage. Don't. No. Roll. Not because. 00:53:33.760 --> 00:53:37.219 No, it's straight. Yep. Good catch. Jeremy, don't 00:53:37.219 --> 00:53:43.320 roll low! You rolled low! I'm also going to use 00:53:43.320 --> 00:53:45.619 my Bardic Inspiration die, though. Don't tell 00:53:45.619 --> 00:53:47.380 him what it is yet. Don't tell him what it is 00:53:47.380 --> 00:53:50.380 yet. Of course, I don't think it matters. I don't 00:53:50.380 --> 00:53:52.019 think it matters. I wouldn't waste it. I wouldn't 00:53:52.019 --> 00:53:54.699 waste it. Well, no, I'm just also thinking that 00:53:54.699 --> 00:53:57.820 that probably doesn't matter what bonuses I have. 00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:04.940 Yeah. Whoops. Whoops. It's a natural one. I'm 00:54:04.940 --> 00:54:06.179 not even looking at his face because I know what 00:54:06.179 --> 00:54:07.440 his face is. A natural one on inflict wounds. 00:54:07.780 --> 00:54:09.840 Yeah. That's the worst thing I could possibly 00:54:09.840 --> 00:54:13.300 get with inflict wounds. That's really bad. Jules. 00:54:13.420 --> 00:54:17.400 That's really bad. Reaches down in this moment 00:54:17.400 --> 00:54:22.179 filled with hate. Filled with hate. Which is 00:54:22.179 --> 00:54:24.940 very fitting because of what I just said. You 00:54:24.940 --> 00:54:27.460 reach down. He's been waiting for this for weeks. 00:54:27.719 --> 00:54:30.739 I told you not to roll low. Tell the dice that, 00:54:30.780 --> 00:54:34.820 okay? Your hand presses down on him. He's screaming 00:54:34.820 --> 00:54:37.960 out. So in this moment, in this moment of pure 00:54:37.960 --> 00:54:42.039 darkness, in this moment of pure, just vindictive 00:54:42.039 --> 00:54:48.199 rage, pain blazes through your body. And we are 00:54:48.199 --> 00:54:50.119 having a three -parter because we'll call it 00:54:50.119 --> 00:54:51.380 there. Oh my God.
