toss a coin to your editor. Toss a coin to your

00:00:05.459 --> 00:00:08.080
DM. It costs us a couple of bucks to run this

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:11.359
thing. If you feel like we earned a tip, visit

00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:55.229
us on ko -fi .com slash fancypants. Orin is not

00:00:55.229 --> 00:00:59.030
here again. Where'd that guy go? What you doing?

00:00:59.310 --> 00:01:01.969
What am I doing? Where is he? Where'd Orin go?

00:01:02.250 --> 00:01:04.030
He's not here. Why? Because we got a big old

00:01:04.030 --> 00:01:06.769
fight to get to. Get Orin out of here. Orin,

00:01:06.769 --> 00:01:08.370
we'll talk about you later. I don't know how

00:01:08.370 --> 00:01:11.170
much I trust him anymore. He's bailed like multiple

00:01:11.170 --> 00:01:13.909
times now. We don't need an update. The update

00:01:13.909 --> 00:01:15.909
is the fight. We're going to roll for initiative.

00:01:16.170 --> 00:01:17.950
We're getting to the final fight of this arc.

00:01:18.090 --> 00:01:20.709
You guys ready? Yeah, I'm kind of nervous. I'm

00:01:20.709 --> 00:01:22.609
so nervous. I'm going to puke. Let's go. It's

00:01:22.609 --> 00:01:24.430
pretty wild. Yeah, I'm afraid of messing up Zebulon

00:01:24.430 --> 00:01:29.489
somehow. First things first. That's a fun sound.

00:01:29.829 --> 00:01:33.250
I like this one. Jules. Yes. What is the first

00:01:33.250 --> 00:01:35.629
thing that goes through your mind in this moment

00:01:35.629 --> 00:01:39.409
as a skeletal glowing Zebulon appears before

00:01:39.409 --> 00:01:43.189
you? I don't think he cares so much about how

00:01:43.189 --> 00:01:46.489
this is happening. I think he immediately feels

00:01:46.489 --> 00:01:49.730
a sense of comfort. and there's kind of a little

00:01:49.730 --> 00:01:53.989
smirk in the corner of his mouth. I like to imagine

00:01:53.989 --> 00:01:57.109
maybe a blue glow from your lute. Oh, of course.

00:01:57.390 --> 00:02:01.849
Hell yeah. Crispin, you don't have a personal

00:02:01.849 --> 00:02:04.409
connection to Zebulon, but I imagine there's

00:02:04.409 --> 00:02:06.430
some sort of emotion stirring in here. This was

00:02:06.430 --> 00:02:10.389
a failure for you, a deep failure when he died.

00:02:11.090 --> 00:02:14.830
Do you feel any sort of comfort like this? Well,

00:02:14.870 --> 00:02:19.159
I mean... There's happiness to see him back,

00:02:19.300 --> 00:02:25.800
you know, in whatever form. But it's sort of

00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.599
the same. At the same time, it's a pang of sadness

00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:33.039
remembering the failure. Jules smiles. Crispin

00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:36.020
watches on with his big weird frog eyes. Zebulon

00:02:36.020 --> 00:02:39.159
standing at the forefront. Arhalon coming towards

00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:43.819
him. I need you all to finally roll for initiative.

00:02:44.060 --> 00:02:47.520
All righty. Oh, baby. Oh, baby. We also have

00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:49.840
to do Zebulon's level 5 hit points. Well, this

00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:51.780
is shop talk. I'll take up these initiative rolls.

00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.300
Oh, no, Zebulon. Why'd you roll single digits?

00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:58.400
Oh, no. Because, duh. Oh, jeez. Well, good thing

00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:00.340
he's got a plus 4, so... Get him out of the way.

00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:08.159
That's a 10 for Zebulon. Ouch. Jules got a 16.

00:03:08.979 --> 00:03:16.889
Dan's got a 22. And 19 for Crispin. All right,

00:03:17.050 --> 00:03:21.009
and I have rolled my initiatives. A couple of

00:03:21.009 --> 00:03:24.889
notes to start this battle off. Zebulon, the

00:03:24.889 --> 00:03:26.710
only items you have access to now are the two

00:03:26.710 --> 00:03:29.669
sabers in your hands, essentially an extension

00:03:29.669 --> 00:03:33.409
of your new form. Though you wear no armor, your

00:03:33.409 --> 00:03:36.310
armor class will remain as it already was. We'll

00:03:36.310 --> 00:03:38.770
just call it natural armor. No reason to get

00:03:38.770 --> 00:03:40.949
complicated with it. I've placed Arhalon at the

00:03:40.949 --> 00:03:43.270
center of this room, about halfway between Zavar

00:03:43.270 --> 00:03:46.030
and Jules. Zebulon stands before him, guarding

00:03:46.030 --> 00:03:48.629
Jules. Dance is on Jules' right, and a giant

00:03:48.629 --> 00:03:51.650
toad is on his left. Crispin, your rage is ongoing,

00:03:51.789 --> 00:03:54.509
fueled by the powers that emanate from that fossil

00:03:54.509 --> 00:03:58.590
beside you. It screams into you, screams the

00:03:58.590 --> 00:04:02.590
built -up pain of frozen eons. There are words

00:04:02.590 --> 00:04:06.090
there, amidst a cacophony of roaring madness.

00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:15.800
In this place, your chances of a spiritual intervention

00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.819
with your Mazir Drakon feat are doubled. Nice.

00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:23.899
Bless is active on all of you, so long as Jules

00:04:23.899 --> 00:04:26.980
maintains concentration. Everybody but Zebulon,

00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:29.600
right? Everyone but Zebulon. Sorry, yeah. Dance

00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.800
has used one ki point. She has four left. And

00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.379
lastly, I need the pick of Minor Destiny for

00:04:36.379 --> 00:04:41.079
Arhalon. Ooh. A DC -30. Wait, wait, wait, wait,

00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:42.779
wait. No, you have to ask for my permission.

00:04:43.259 --> 00:04:45.959
What? That is my pick of Minor Destiny. I mean,

00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:47.860
I can just attack. I just attack all you guys.

00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:51.459
Hey, if it's your pick, perhaps it'll serve you

00:04:51.459 --> 00:04:54.000
well. Because based on what you did last time

00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.180
we were in this room, last time you were about

00:04:56.180 --> 00:04:58.800
to start this fight, this could either get real

00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:02.079
scary or be a complete joke. The final battle.

00:05:02.220 --> 00:05:06.740
Because a DC -30 is no joke. and I never expected

00:05:06.740 --> 00:05:08.579
to be able to sway this combat. That was a DC.

00:05:08.740 --> 00:05:10.560
I only had a plus 10 from your recent level up.

00:05:10.620 --> 00:05:13.899
That is crazy. I think that's my highest roll

00:05:13.899 --> 00:05:16.600
ever in my career of playing D &D. What a roll.

00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.480
Like, just before the madness had fully taken

00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:22.300
hold of Arhalon, you managed to change everything.

00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:26.500
You gave him a split target for this rage. So,

00:05:26.579 --> 00:05:29.500
every turn, it's going to be heads for Jules,

00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:33.779
tails for Zavar. He will target and attack whoever

00:05:33.779 --> 00:05:37.779
I roll on. And decide now, his head's the maker's

00:05:37.779 --> 00:05:38.939
mark or his tail's the maker's mark? Head's the

00:05:38.939 --> 00:05:41.180
maker's mark. Okay. Except for this first one,

00:05:41.220 --> 00:05:42.839
right? Because he's already charging it. No.

00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.079
This scene with Zebulon gave him pause in the

00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.540
moment. I think in this moment, he's like resetting.

00:05:48.579 --> 00:05:51.240
Yeah. Awesome. I'm going to flip this every round.

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:53.899
But now, Zebulon, as you look towards your brother,

00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:56.519
you realize that you have come seconds too late

00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:58.879
to change his mind any further than that. That

00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.079
final shred of reason. was Arhalon's last, and

00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:04.439
this effect, whatever's happened to him, has

00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:06.920
absolutely overwhelmed his mind, flooded it.

00:06:06.980 --> 00:06:09.600
His eyes burn with a ferocious rage, and they

00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.220
do not see you. They glare down at you with only

00:06:13.220 --> 00:06:18.360
a snarling hatred. Just empty, cold. Can you

00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:23.060
save him? Gonna try. Then let's get started.

00:06:24.259 --> 00:06:27.439
I should note the fact that I have swapped my

00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:31.110
die for the evening. The... captains, full metal

00:06:31.110 --> 00:06:34.649
die, zoobeards, gold vein. They have not been

00:06:34.649 --> 00:06:36.569
serving me faithfully lately, so they will be

00:06:36.569 --> 00:06:41.170
getting a break. So I've come back. My old Norse

00:06:41.170 --> 00:06:43.569
foundry sapphire die, given to me by my wife

00:06:43.569 --> 00:06:46.730
for Christmas a couple years ago. Old veteran

00:06:46.730 --> 00:06:50.389
die, scarred from many a battle. And from getting

00:06:50.389 --> 00:06:52.569
dropped on the floor. That too. The reason I'm

00:06:52.569 --> 00:06:53.910
bringing this up is I rolled my initiative with

00:06:53.910 --> 00:06:57.470
these dice. Oh no. And old Zavar got a natural

00:06:57.470 --> 00:07:01.550
20. Whoa. So I'll be going first in this fight.

00:07:01.550 --> 00:07:05.529
That's not great. No, it's not. Though it's going

00:07:05.529 --> 00:07:06.589
to be a little different than you might think

00:07:06.589 --> 00:07:10.050
because all that's going to happen here. Yes.

00:07:10.850 --> 00:07:14.649
Yeah. We still need to roll HP. Oh shit. That's

00:07:14.649 --> 00:07:17.110
going to be my notes part. We'll just skip that.

00:07:21.340 --> 00:07:24.500
Let's roll HP. All right. Let's roll HP quickly.

00:07:24.740 --> 00:07:26.100
Will the whisper be loud enough to be picked

00:07:26.100 --> 00:07:30.540
up? I hope so. All right. Yeah, we're good. Okay.

00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:33.920
All right. So we started off with 28 at level

00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:37.139
four. And it's a D8. Yep. I believe you have

00:07:37.139 --> 00:07:39.779
no con modifier. It's plus zero. Yeah, definitely

00:07:39.779 --> 00:07:42.699
not. Okay. So it'll be straight. Oh, yeah. I'm

00:07:42.699 --> 00:07:47.100
rolling too. What am I? D8. I got a six. Got

00:07:47.100 --> 00:07:49.399
a five. All right. I'll take six. Six is pretty

00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:54.360
good. So that gives you a 34. Not bad, Zebulon.

00:07:54.740 --> 00:07:59.579
I wish you forgot. Like I did. Speaking of HP,

00:07:59.899 --> 00:08:04.120
by the way, what you're going to see as I cast

00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:06.819
False Life at third level, I'm just going to

00:08:06.819 --> 00:08:10.779
tell you, is Zavar sees all this, and his smile

00:08:10.779 --> 00:08:13.100
sort of grows, sort of taking in Zebulon, taking

00:08:13.100 --> 00:08:15.500
in everything, this strange, magical phenomenon.

00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:19.819
He's thrilled. He's into it. Like he sort of

00:08:19.819 --> 00:08:22.819
flexes and you watch as his body, his undead

00:08:22.819 --> 00:08:25.220
body begins to like push itself further than

00:08:25.220 --> 00:08:27.660
a living body can. This sort of soft light glowing

00:08:27.660 --> 00:08:29.600
through like veins that kind of appear down his

00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:31.500
skin. His muscles sort of like start bulking.

00:08:31.620 --> 00:08:34.360
His skin getting like thicker, his pale, gross

00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:37.940
skin. And I'm going to be giving myself essentially

00:08:37.940 --> 00:08:41.039
a bunch of temporary hit points. Cool, cool,

00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.240
cool. That's awesome. I love this. So that is,

00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.620
I'm not going to tell you how many. Yeah, you

00:08:46.620 --> 00:08:50.720
know what? I'm going in. All right. Zavar's going

00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.639
to run across the room. The first one to act,

00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:55.580
his, like, blood is taking over. You see he flexes.

00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:57.860
His skin thickens. Everyone else is sort of taken

00:08:57.860 --> 00:08:59.919
in by Zebulon at this sort of moment. Arhuan's

00:08:59.919 --> 00:09:01.980
frozen. You guys are watching in awe. Zavar's

00:09:01.980 --> 00:09:04.580
already moving, completely unfazed. I'm going

00:09:04.580 --> 00:09:09.820
to charge right up to old Toadie Dubois. I'm

00:09:09.820 --> 00:09:14.600
going to make some attacks. Oh, that's not bad

00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:18.480
at all. Ooh, I don't know. We'll lay up. Well,

00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:21.840
a 23 hit. Mm -hmm. Oh, it will? Oh, cool. Yeah.

00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:25.019
Good. Okay. Good for me. Okay, I see how this

00:09:25.019 --> 00:09:27.000
is going to go. Already with the sass. Yeah,

00:09:27.059 --> 00:09:29.919
the giant toad was a bad choice. That's not bad.

00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:31.899
Only seven points of damage, actually. Okay,

00:09:31.980 --> 00:09:35.720
yeah, that's not bad. Yeah, but I need a constitution

00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:38.220
saving throw, and you don't want to fail it.

00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.200
This claw rakes into your toad flesh, just cutting

00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:45.639
through, and as it does, like, something with

00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.929
it, something just kind of... seeps into you.

00:09:48.970 --> 00:09:50.789
You can feel your blood sort of thickening around

00:09:50.789 --> 00:09:54.909
it, and it's spreading fast. I've got the Toad's

00:09:54.909 --> 00:09:59.149
stats, so it's only a plus one for Khan. You've

00:09:59.149 --> 00:10:02.230
also got Bless. Bless on saves, yep. That's so

00:10:02.230 --> 00:10:04.669
good. And I'm going to hand in a button. Oh,

00:10:05.070 --> 00:10:07.710
I'll take it. I really don't want Toad to go

00:10:07.710 --> 00:10:13.850
down this fast. Okay. Crit. First roll, crit.

00:10:14.049 --> 00:10:17.879
Fuck yeah. First roll crit. Okay. Crit my little

00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:22.799
toad. That you were in pants? Is the toad wearing

00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:24.919
pants? That's cute as fuck. Didn't need the...

00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:26.659
I mean, that kind of sucks. I just gave the button

00:10:26.659 --> 00:10:29.440
for that. But, you know, I don't regret it. I

00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:31.960
don't regret it. Hey, I'll tell you what. You

00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:36.039
are not paralyzed. Oh, my God. And so I will

00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:37.919
not be auto -critting you with all my attacks

00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:41.250
this time. Yeah, okay. God. That was, yeah, I

00:10:41.250 --> 00:10:42.629
definitely don't regret the button. Holy shit.

00:10:43.250 --> 00:10:46.070
Yeah. And I love these. I think I've mentioned

00:10:46.070 --> 00:10:48.210
it before, but the die Rochelle gave me says,

00:10:48.370 --> 00:10:53.289
yeet, yeet, I'm a 20. Yeet, yeet, yeet. I'm dabbing

00:10:53.289 --> 00:10:55.389
over here. That's dance. What does it look like

00:10:55.389 --> 00:10:58.529
when a giant toad dabs, you think? Probably pretty

00:10:58.529 --> 00:11:03.970
hilarious. That's dance. Oh, God. I mean, she's

00:11:03.970 --> 00:11:07.809
going in. On whom? Remind you, there's two goals.

00:11:08.969 --> 00:11:12.529
ghouls, two ghoul ghouls, and Arhalon, who's

00:11:12.529 --> 00:11:14.210
not sure what the hell's going on right now.

00:11:14.769 --> 00:11:17.029
And this weird skeleton guy appeared in front

00:11:17.029 --> 00:11:19.090
of her. She probably wants to kick his ass. Zebulon

00:11:19.090 --> 00:11:23.549
looks over his shoulder. Don't worry, guys. Leave

00:11:23.549 --> 00:11:30.149
Arhalon to me. Holy shit. Holy hell. I mean,

00:11:30.250 --> 00:11:32.970
yeah, she's going to go for Zavar. He made the

00:11:32.970 --> 00:11:35.230
first move in that direction. And she can actually

00:11:35.230 --> 00:11:37.629
slide up. five feet over if you want, and be,

00:11:37.649 --> 00:11:40.269
like, right next to Crispin. Or she can loop

00:11:40.269 --> 00:11:43.029
around if she wants to get flanking, but that's

00:11:43.029 --> 00:11:44.110
going to put her right next to the other ghoul

00:11:44.110 --> 00:11:46.950
as well. Yeah, no, she's going to stay behind

00:11:46.950 --> 00:11:50.149
Zebulon there. Okay. She slides up next to us

00:11:50.149 --> 00:11:51.730
so we get a diagonal on it right next to the

00:11:51.730 --> 00:11:54.610
big old toad. Yes. Hell yeah. And she's going

00:11:54.610 --> 00:11:59.470
in. Damn it. First one's only an eight. Will

00:11:59.470 --> 00:12:02.649
not hit. Not hit. And she's going in for attack

00:12:02.649 --> 00:12:09.320
number two. 15. That hits. All right. Okay. It's

00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:11.340
not terrible. He's not armor. We can do this.

00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:14.080
He's not armor. He's like a filthy black robe.

00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:19.679
All right. So it's 1d4 plus 3. That's cool. Cracked?

00:12:19.820 --> 00:12:23.559
Yeah. Yeah. It's like that. I've never seen a

00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:26.019
land like that. How's a d4 crack? That's wild.

00:12:26.259 --> 00:12:29.379
Well, it's one of those oblong d4s. Yeah. Looks

00:12:29.379 --> 00:12:32.730
like a diamond. And it was resting on... The

00:12:32.730 --> 00:12:34.970
point was up. Yeah, I mean, I think that's still

00:12:34.970 --> 00:12:37.009
the same. Yeah, because it has an equal chance

00:12:37.009 --> 00:12:39.629
of landing that way on either of those four numbers.

00:12:39.830 --> 00:12:41.389
Well, if that's the case, then that's max damage,

00:12:41.470 --> 00:12:45.149
so that's seven. Okay. Which is not the greatest,

00:12:45.309 --> 00:12:49.889
but... So he just slams in, and maybe that thickening

00:12:49.889 --> 00:12:51.330
of his muscles kind of drops down a little bit.

00:12:51.669 --> 00:12:54.490
It's like this sort of almost self -imposed armor,

00:12:54.629 --> 00:12:56.649
this weirdness in his body is starting to kind

00:12:56.649 --> 00:12:59.440
of vent out, but... Okay, and she's also going

00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:03.419
to use a ki point. Oh, yeah, we're burning him.

00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:06.580
All right, hell yeah. I mean, she knows he's

00:13:06.580 --> 00:13:09.480
the one that's got to go down as fast as possible.

00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.740
First hit, then second. Undead, freak, die. Hits

00:13:13.740 --> 00:13:18.059
him again. And that's a 17 to hit. That will

00:13:18.059 --> 00:13:23.100
hit. And that's only a four. Max damage, first

00:13:23.100 --> 00:13:26.379
one. Minimum damage, second. One on the die.

00:13:27.250 --> 00:13:30.570
Hell yeah, just two good jabs on Zavar. Still

00:13:30.570 --> 00:13:33.490
standing strong. His smile takes her in. His

00:13:33.490 --> 00:13:36.210
eyes flicker over to you, Jules. And that's going

00:13:36.210 --> 00:13:42.889
to be Crispin Dupto. All right. I've been waiting

00:13:42.889 --> 00:13:48.450
for this. Do it. That was the sound. That was

00:13:48.450 --> 00:13:53.190
not. Of Crispin biting at Zavar. Okay. Okay.

00:13:53.230 --> 00:13:58.289
Plus four to hit. Oh, no. Well, I don't guess

00:13:58.289 --> 00:14:03.809
we don't know yet. 13. Oh. 13? You think a 13's

00:14:03.809 --> 00:14:05.429
going to hit this boss? You think a 13's going

00:14:05.429 --> 00:14:07.610
to hit him exactly? Because you're right. Okay,

00:14:07.750 --> 00:14:09.990
nice. All right, that's great. By the way, your

00:14:09.990 --> 00:14:12.809
Bless also works on attack rolls, too. Oh, how

00:14:12.809 --> 00:14:14.350
do I always forget that? So you get the d4 on

00:14:14.350 --> 00:14:16.250
that, too. But we know a 13 hits now. Oh, my

00:14:16.250 --> 00:14:18.049
goodness, and I used Zebulon's die. That's why

00:14:18.049 --> 00:14:21.389
I rolled single digits. Yikes. Okay, I'm all...

00:14:21.389 --> 00:14:23.950
All right, there's my Bless die to remind me

00:14:23.950 --> 00:14:27.289
that I'm blessed. Okay, wow, great, a hit. So

00:14:27.289 --> 00:14:31.470
that is a d10 plus two piercing damage. D10,

00:14:31.769 --> 00:14:36.389
not bad. Yeah, right? So that's nine piercing

00:14:36.389 --> 00:14:42.149
damage plus one d10 poison damage. Whoa. Nine

00:14:42.149 --> 00:14:46.070
poison damage, and, sir, you are grappled. Toads

00:14:46.070 --> 00:14:49.309
do not mess around. Okay. Yeah. All right, so

00:14:49.309 --> 00:14:52.429
my movement speed is now effectively zero. Your

00:14:52.429 --> 00:14:55.379
tongue is wrapped around him. Yeah, exactly.

00:14:55.379 --> 00:14:58.299
That is so horrifying for Crispin. This is the

00:14:58.299 --> 00:15:01.679
grossest dude. Yeah. Just the grossest dude.

00:15:01.980 --> 00:15:05.379
Giant Toads probably aren't super not gross either,

00:15:05.500 --> 00:15:08.500
I guess. This is the grossest fight. I'm a little

00:15:08.500 --> 00:15:13.559
grossed out by Toads. That is going to be. That's

00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.559
your turn, right? That is going to be Crispin's

00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:22.600
turn. Solid turn. Jules, you're up. Okay. So

00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:24.379
does Zebulon still currently have that Bardic

00:15:24.379 --> 00:15:26.779
Inspiration? Like actual, like mechanically?

00:15:27.340 --> 00:15:30.159
No. I don't remember. Okay. Yeah, I can't do

00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.159
that. It goes away with it now. I had to check

00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:36.159
because Jules is going to, for old time's sake.

00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:38.879
Hell yeah. For old time's sake, he's going to

00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:41.820
give some Bardic Inspiration to Zeb. Oh, that's

00:15:41.820 --> 00:15:45.179
awesome. The old one -two punch. We're going

00:15:45.179 --> 00:15:47.700
to be nostalgic for like 30 episodes to go of

00:15:47.700 --> 00:15:50.000
our own show. Dude, right? Well, it's been so

00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:53.690
long. It's been a while. All right, so I think,

00:15:53.730 --> 00:15:56.750
yeah, Jules is going to move up next to Zeb.

00:15:57.350 --> 00:16:00.649
And just for some good flavor, I feel like he

00:16:00.649 --> 00:16:03.049
just comes right up to Zeb and kind of does a

00:16:03.049 --> 00:16:05.309
quick little stance and looks over Zeb's way,

00:16:05.429 --> 00:16:08.590
gives him a little nod, then looks forward and

00:16:08.590 --> 00:16:10.830
casts Dissonant Whispers on that ghoul that's

00:16:10.830 --> 00:16:12.750
a little in front of him. Oh, the one right by

00:16:12.750 --> 00:16:15.690
Round Stuff. Yes. Yeah, I mean, that makes the

00:16:15.690 --> 00:16:17.190
track so well. This thing's kind of standing,

00:16:17.250 --> 00:16:18.950
almost threatening over round stuff. It's not

00:16:18.950 --> 00:16:20.830
going to attack her, but I mean, I'm sure your

00:16:20.830 --> 00:16:25.250
eyes were on that. Yep. Hell yeah. Cool. It's

00:16:25.250 --> 00:16:28.690
a wisdom save. Ooh, it's middling. It's middling.

00:16:28.769 --> 00:16:30.070
Let me see what I got here for wisdom bonus.

00:16:30.710 --> 00:16:33.470
Nothing. That's a 12. No. Ooh, okay, I failed.

00:16:33.470 --> 00:16:35.789
You failed that one. All right, so you take 3d6

00:16:35.789 --> 00:16:37.850
psychic damage, and you immediately have to use

00:16:37.850 --> 00:16:39.750
your reaction move as far as your speed allows.

00:16:39.929 --> 00:16:45.570
That's really good. Damn. Three D6s and only

00:16:45.570 --> 00:16:49.570
eight psychic damage. That's unfortunate. Still,

00:16:49.730 --> 00:16:52.029
that's not bad. Getting the bad ones out of the

00:16:52.029 --> 00:16:56.490
way. Mist covers him. He starts screaming. He

00:16:56.490 --> 00:16:57.990
pulls away from round stuff, and I guess what

00:16:57.990 --> 00:16:59.289
I'm going to do is he's going to start running,

00:16:59.309 --> 00:17:01.570
and he goes around a corner up into the very

00:17:01.570 --> 00:17:03.889
cell. A little cave tunnel leads to the cell

00:17:03.889 --> 00:17:06.210
Arholon came from because that's kind of where

00:17:06.210 --> 00:17:08.079
I can go the farthest. He's going to go all the

00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:09.980
way to the end of it. And where you can't even

00:17:09.980 --> 00:17:11.420
see him, you hear his foot sort of sliding away.

00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:14.319
Roundstuff, who's sort of now no one near her,

00:17:14.380 --> 00:17:16.720
just kind of stands up finally and just begins

00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:20.759
to cheer like, yes, yes, you can do it. Just

00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:23.039
calling out towards you, watching you all moving

00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:28.539
in. Holy shit. This is awesome. And now, ladies

00:17:28.539 --> 00:17:31.859
and gentlemen, welcome to the stage back again

00:17:31.859 --> 00:17:39.480
on tour. All right. Cheers, Zeb. Here's one more.

00:17:40.380 --> 00:17:44.240
Holy shit. What can you do? What can fifth level

00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.960
Zebulon do? Geez. All right. Yeah, Zebulon's

00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:52.380
going to do what Zebulon do. He's going to move

00:17:52.380 --> 00:17:57.460
up and use his swashbuckler archetype, his rakish

00:17:57.460 --> 00:18:02.900
audacity. He will be... Solo, 1v1, in the middle

00:18:02.900 --> 00:18:06.319
of the map, with his brother Arhalon. Man, I've

00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:08.740
been, like, thinking about this all week. Like,

00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:11.319
thinking about what he's going to say to Arhalon.

00:18:11.339 --> 00:18:15.579
He can't even... I can't even think of it. And

00:18:15.579 --> 00:18:17.980
now as you move up, he doesn't see you. His eyes

00:18:17.980 --> 00:18:20.400
don't see you. He just snarls in the direction

00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:22.819
of fire billowing out from somewhere in his throat.

00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:27.619
He's not humanoid anymore. He's a monster. He's

00:18:27.619 --> 00:18:30.019
lost. All right, he's going to take a swing.

00:18:30.460 --> 00:18:37.119
Holy shit. Tell me you're sorry. Ooh, 16 plus

00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:43.380
eight. That will hit. Good old Zebulon. Natural

00:18:43.380 --> 00:18:48.460
one on the second attack. Good old Zebulon. All

00:18:48.460 --> 00:18:53.079
right, that's fine. I get my 1d8 plus five and

00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:58.549
my 3d6 sneak attack damage. Okay. Max damage,

00:18:58.789 --> 00:19:04.369
eight plus five, 13. That's a lot without even

00:19:04.369 --> 00:19:09.529
sneak attack. And I'm rolling the bone D6 that

00:19:09.529 --> 00:19:12.829
I got from Hooli Forge. He mentioned our discord.

00:19:12.910 --> 00:19:16.589
He was like, hey, now that Zebulon's bones, you

00:19:16.589 --> 00:19:23.630
can roll bones. It's so good. Oh, what? 14. You

00:19:23.630 --> 00:19:27.160
rolled some bones. You rolled some bones. That's

00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:31.240
solid. Holy crap. That is a chunk out of Arhalon.

00:19:31.339 --> 00:19:35.859
Rolling bones. Damn. So you go in sliding with

00:19:35.859 --> 00:19:38.759
your saber and like slash out. I think he tries

00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:41.180
to move with his own like great sword, but his

00:19:41.180 --> 00:19:44.420
strength is nothing to your speed. As you like

00:19:44.420 --> 00:19:46.980
find an opening and exploit it, just like slashing

00:19:46.980 --> 00:19:49.099
him hard. And then you step on a horseshoe and

00:19:49.099 --> 00:19:54.059
you miss the next one. Like an idiot. I think

00:19:54.059 --> 00:19:57.230
he's going to stay there. I think he's going

00:19:57.230 --> 00:20:01.490
to end his turn there. Okay. All right. That's

00:20:01.490 --> 00:20:05.130
me again. That ghoul that you chased away appears

00:20:05.130 --> 00:20:08.089
again around the corner. He's going to use his

00:20:08.089 --> 00:20:10.170
full... I can't get near anybody. I just need

00:20:10.170 --> 00:20:13.069
my full action to just charge as much as I can.

00:20:13.509 --> 00:20:16.789
He's going to move up right between sort of Jules

00:20:16.789 --> 00:20:19.589
and Dance and Zavar, just running right into

00:20:19.589 --> 00:20:22.289
the front line. Does Zebulon get an AOL for that?

00:20:22.490 --> 00:20:26.480
You son of a gun. You son of a gun. Yeah, you

00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:29.319
do. You do. I mean, I know where I'm going. I'm

00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:33.000
going to tell you. Zebulon crit, baby. No. Zebulon

00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:37.079
crit. Welcome back, Zebulon. This can't be. This

00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:39.640
cannot be. So that's 2d8 plus 5 then? Oh my.

00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:49.140
No. 4. And 4. 13 points of damage. Holy shit.

00:20:49.549 --> 00:20:51.549
This ghoul comes sliding out, like, already kind

00:20:51.549 --> 00:20:53.690
of hurt, just, like, running, charging. It's

00:20:53.690 --> 00:20:55.410
a big, long ton, sort of, lolling behind it.

00:20:55.470 --> 00:20:57.589
Is it just, like, I mean, like, I can't get to

00:20:57.589 --> 00:20:59.470
the front line if I go, unless I go around you,

00:20:59.529 --> 00:21:01.029
and I want to get the guy that got me. So, yeah,

00:21:01.150 --> 00:21:02.809
that's what I'm doing. So he swings, he just

00:21:02.809 --> 00:21:04.410
moves past you, and, like, even though you're

00:21:04.410 --> 00:21:06.150
locked in combo with Arhalon, where you had this

00:21:06.150 --> 00:21:07.970
sort of moment, you, like, you know, cut his

00:21:07.970 --> 00:21:10.410
blade away, you spin around, you slash out this

00:21:10.410 --> 00:21:13.430
ghoul, and you just tear a huge, like, chunk

00:21:13.430 --> 00:21:15.049
of flesh sort of off of it. Like, it's, maybe

00:21:15.049 --> 00:21:16.849
it's headed, like, barely hanging on. This thing

00:21:16.849 --> 00:21:21.920
is barely... If that makes sense. He doesn't

00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:24.440
even break eye contact with Argon. Holy shit.

00:21:24.660 --> 00:21:28.619
Watch out, ghouls. This is a good Zebulon showing.

00:21:28.779 --> 00:21:32.079
My gosh. Yeah, Zebulon's rolling well. Wow. Well,

00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:35.700
mostly well. Well, okay then. Let's see if Crisp

00:21:35.700 --> 00:21:37.319
can do the same. I'm going to move right up on

00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:40.980
old Toadie Dubois again. This ghoul's attacking

00:21:40.980 --> 00:21:45.859
you. The non -almost undead ghoul. I don't know

00:21:45.859 --> 00:21:49.309
what Toad's HP is. Or AC is, but is it more than

00:21:49.309 --> 00:21:55.089
12? 12 hits. 12 hits? Oh, baby. Toad's a glass

00:21:55.089 --> 00:22:01.470
cannon. Toad's a glass cannon. Oh, no. Eight

00:22:01.470 --> 00:22:04.529
points of damage. Okay. And a constitution saving

00:22:04.529 --> 00:22:07.650
throw. Oh, no. Yeah, my claws, this thing's claws

00:22:07.650 --> 00:22:09.230
also rake into you and you feel the same thing.

00:22:09.289 --> 00:22:12.029
These ghouls, I mean, Zavar's just one of them,

00:22:12.029 --> 00:22:14.730
but stronger. That same paralytic effect starts

00:22:14.730 --> 00:22:17.259
to enter your blood. You want to spend a button

00:22:17.259 --> 00:22:20.279
on it again? Give me all your buttons. No, because

00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:23.079
I've got my bless. Oh, it's true. It's true.

00:22:23.539 --> 00:22:28.079
Ten on the die. Plus four. Fourteen. Fourteen

00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:31.000
passes. Nice. Oh, yeah. And I'm sorry, you said

00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:33.880
that was eight damage? Eight damage, yes. Not

00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:35.839
nothing. Not nothing. Holding against that paralysis,

00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:38.740
though. Here's the big one. The question is how

00:22:38.740 --> 00:22:39.980
I'm going to handle it, no matter who I choose.

00:22:40.019 --> 00:22:42.140
I got this guy in my way now. So it's going to

00:22:42.140 --> 00:22:44.299
be like more of a choice thing. And I'll play

00:22:44.299 --> 00:22:47.130
it out as I go. Pick a destiny. I'm going to

00:22:47.130 --> 00:22:48.490
do it right here in front of you guys. You can

00:22:48.490 --> 00:22:50.670
use the dice tray if you want. Yes. You tell

00:22:50.670 --> 00:22:56.250
me what I get. That's tails. Tails is Zavar.

00:22:56.589 --> 00:22:59.549
Right? Yes. I'm pretty sure that's what you said.

00:22:59.589 --> 00:23:03.410
Okay. Okay. How I'm going to handle this is Arhalon

00:23:03.410 --> 00:23:06.410
has two attacks. I'll strike out a Zeb with one

00:23:06.410 --> 00:23:09.559
and move past and hit Zavar with the other. So,

00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:11.619
like, he's just, like, his eyes are sort of swerving.

00:23:11.660 --> 00:23:13.079
And he kind of, like, finally starts to focus.

00:23:13.180 --> 00:23:16.619
And he sees you. Finally sees something. He goes

00:23:16.619 --> 00:23:19.640
to attack. And that horseshoe he tripped on earlier

00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:26.119
lands under his own feet. As he also rolls a

00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:29.819
natural one. Nice. Nice. And completely misses,

00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:31.460
so he goes to swing at you, Zebulon, and you

00:23:31.460 --> 00:23:33.839
just weave, like, and you feel the strength of

00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:36.900
the swipe. Your brother is strong, both hands

00:23:36.900 --> 00:23:39.799
on his weapon, his muscles, like, flexing as

00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:41.660
hard as they can to, like, maintain this, and

00:23:41.660 --> 00:23:44.079
yet you just weave under against strength versus

00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:47.180
speed. Zebulon leans back, Matrix style. Holy

00:23:47.180 --> 00:23:49.259
shit. And as he kind of, like, comes out of the

00:23:49.259 --> 00:23:52.740
swing, he almost, like, his eyes see behind you

00:23:52.740 --> 00:23:55.359
as you sort of duck down, see Zavar, and he's

00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:57.839
sort of snarling. Charges towards the target.

00:23:57.859 --> 00:24:00.079
I cannot believe I'm doing this to my own guy.

00:24:00.700 --> 00:24:06.900
This is horrifying for me. Here we go. And he

00:24:06.900 --> 00:24:09.119
nails Zavar with a 17 on the die. Oh, my God.

00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:13.380
This is outrageous. Yeah, Arhalan's going to

00:24:13.380 --> 00:24:16.359
hit Zavar, I feel like, every time. Dude, I'm

00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:18.299
going to be the saddest fellow this entire fight.

00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:22.680
It's poetic. It's very poetic. Oh. Oh. Okay.

00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:30.329
Let's do my damage here. Okay. Good, good swipe

00:24:30.329 --> 00:24:32.670
on Zavar. You see Arlon swings in and just slides

00:24:32.670 --> 00:24:34.289
out. Zavar kind of turns around almost surprised

00:24:34.289 --> 00:24:37.369
like, what did you do? Like screams out to you,

00:24:37.430 --> 00:24:40.569
Jules, as like his jaw is clipped and almost

00:24:40.569 --> 00:24:43.490
like the flesh is like ripped open. His mouth

00:24:43.490 --> 00:24:46.670
sort of hanging, lolling, screeching, groaning

00:24:46.670 --> 00:24:50.549
as Arlon's great sword takes him hard. As he

00:24:50.549 --> 00:24:55.930
says this, Jules gives him a wink. Oh, now it's

00:24:55.930 --> 00:24:58.819
my turn. All right, Zavar, that really sucked.

00:24:59.980 --> 00:25:03.579
Zavar looks at you, his jaw, like, hanging limp.

00:25:04.420 --> 00:25:06.140
Let me, before I get caught, let me just make

00:25:06.140 --> 00:25:08.319
sure I see something. Okay, it's a flavor hang,

00:25:08.460 --> 00:25:10.559
because I'm not going to get myself, I'm using

00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:12.079
somatic components here, and I don't give a shit,

00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:13.200
or verbal components here, and I don't give a

00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:14.940
shit. It's a flavor hang. You can still talk.

00:25:16.299 --> 00:25:17.960
I'm not going to hold myself accountable by flavor.

00:25:18.619 --> 00:25:20.279
He looks over at you, Jules, and you can see

00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:24.579
he's kind of, begins to laugh, and you see his

00:25:24.579 --> 00:25:27.319
hand begins to glow this, like, Same sort of

00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:29.200
violet light you saw, like, you know, flooding

00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:31.079
into that sort of ritual circle around round

00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:33.619
stuff. And he just takes his hand and plunges

00:25:33.619 --> 00:25:37.019
it down into the earth beneath him. I need dance.

00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:42.819
Hang on. Ten feet? It is ten feet. I need Jules,

00:25:42.940 --> 00:25:49.279
dance, and Crispin, and Zebulon to all make constitution

00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:51.539
saving throws. Great. Dude, we're all going to

00:25:51.539 --> 00:25:58.890
go prone. Fuck. I'm debating using my other button

00:25:58.890 --> 00:26:03.589
for Crispin. I really... I've got a lot of eggs

00:26:03.589 --> 00:26:07.869
in this basket. Here's my second and final button.

00:26:08.170 --> 00:26:13.309
Okay. I really need this scheme to work. All

00:26:13.309 --> 00:26:20.230
right, I'm going to roll Crispin's 2 first. 15

00:26:20.230 --> 00:26:24.789
plus 4. I feel pretty good about that. No. Zebulon's.

00:26:24.789 --> 00:26:29.950
That will pass. Oh, my God. Zebulon crit his

00:26:29.950 --> 00:26:34.069
pants again. What is that? Dude. Dude. Guy is

00:26:34.069 --> 00:26:36.930
not going down tonight. This is outrageous. Unfair.

00:26:36.930 --> 00:26:39.029
I didn't even have to use my bardic. I was holding

00:26:39.029 --> 00:26:41.250
the bardic, expecting to use it. Oh, my God.

00:26:41.410 --> 00:26:43.349
Dude, it's just like Zeb to come back and just

00:26:43.349 --> 00:26:46.500
crit all over the room that everybody's in. I'm

00:26:46.500 --> 00:26:47.940
out of buttons, though. I'm out of buttons, though,

00:26:48.019 --> 00:26:50.519
so let's see what happens. Unbelievable. I know.

00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:52.400
I've got one button left, and I'm trying to figure

00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:56.940
out who to use it on. I feel like, son of a bitch,

00:26:57.099 --> 00:26:59.619
I feel like I need to use my button on dance.

00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:03.839
If we can't get them down, there's no saving

00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:07.660
round stuff. Jewels can't do much in that regard.

00:27:08.460 --> 00:27:10.940
And he's also got a bonus for con, too. Okay,

00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:13.180
sure. So she's better off with it, maybe. Yeah.

00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:16.210
Yeah, with zero bonus. Yeah. All right. Take

00:27:16.210 --> 00:27:19.250
my one and only button. Ooh, gladly. This economy

00:27:19.250 --> 00:27:22.190
is in shambles. Oh, I'm feeling pretty good about

00:27:22.190 --> 00:27:24.470
it. We're in a boss fight with no buttons. With

00:27:24.470 --> 00:27:26.250
no more buttons. How does that work? The rich

00:27:26.250 --> 00:27:31.970
get richer. Whoa. What are you rolling here,

00:27:31.990 --> 00:27:35.309
Kim? I'm nervous. I'm nervous. Across the table.

00:27:35.869 --> 00:27:40.890
I'm nervous about them bites. I miss Chester.

00:27:42.549 --> 00:27:45.490
That's a five plus three. Eight. And that's for

00:27:45.490 --> 00:27:49.950
dance? Yep. No. I know. What's Jules got for

00:27:49.950 --> 00:27:54.470
me? Everyone's so close together. Big happy family

00:27:54.470 --> 00:28:00.009
all around Papa Zavar. I didn't like that. Jules

00:28:00.009 --> 00:28:04.170
got a 14. Saves exactly. Wow. Holy shit. Wow.

00:28:04.490 --> 00:28:10.829
Shit. Wow. Okay. Dance takes 14 necrotic damage.

00:28:10.970 --> 00:28:15.039
Whoa. Mama. Zebulon and Crispin all take seven.

00:28:15.259 --> 00:28:19.000
Wow. Jesus Christ. And so you basically see that

00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:20.380
same light kind of filters in the ground and

00:28:20.380 --> 00:28:22.519
almost like you feel something, like tendrils

00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:24.380
like reach up from the ground into you, just

00:28:24.380 --> 00:28:27.420
tearing into you. And like your bodies begin

00:28:27.420 --> 00:28:30.140
to sort of like wither and shrink. Your muscles

00:28:30.140 --> 00:28:32.660
are atrophying. And as this is happening, as

00:28:32.660 --> 00:28:36.119
like this light is draining you, you watch Zavar's

00:28:36.119 --> 00:28:40.420
jaw just come back. All the scars of battle sort

00:28:40.420 --> 00:28:44.329
of heal. It's of ours almost fully healed. Well,

00:28:44.390 --> 00:28:47.509
that's not cool. Sorry, did you say eight? Yes.

00:28:47.750 --> 00:28:50.549
Seven. Seven damage to you guys. And I healed

00:28:50.549 --> 00:28:52.809
a butt ton. A little spell called Wither and

00:28:52.809 --> 00:28:55.230
Bloom. Cast at third level. Cool. Very cool.

00:28:55.349 --> 00:28:59.930
Great. Love that. It was a good time. Oh, but

00:28:59.930 --> 00:29:02.930
that was my action. Oh, I forgot a thing. Oh,

00:29:02.970 --> 00:29:04.529
well. I'll remember it this turn. That's going

00:29:04.529 --> 00:29:06.769
to be dance. And actually, I need dance to make

00:29:06.769 --> 00:29:10.059
a con save. Again. The special ability Zavar

00:29:10.059 --> 00:29:11.559
has that I've been forgetting about, which is

00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:15.259
actually, weirdly enough, stench. I was just

00:29:15.259 --> 00:29:18.039
about to say, we still haven't figured out yet

00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:20.680
what this is. Within five feet of Zavar, this

00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:23.279
horrible stench kind of comes off of him that

00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:26.839
like actually, it's so overpowering. It's like

00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:28.339
now that she's punched him and hit him and as

00:29:28.339 --> 00:29:29.839
he's kind of like healing from all this, it like

00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:32.579
releases this like odor that like strikes at

00:29:32.579 --> 00:29:34.400
her while she's within five feet of him. Gross.

00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:37.339
And it's threatening to overpower her, sicken

00:29:37.339 --> 00:29:43.180
her. Oh, jeez. Oh, come on. Yeah. 17. She's fine.

00:29:43.539 --> 00:29:46.319
She feels like bile rising and just pushes it

00:29:46.319 --> 00:29:50.660
down. You monster. Not yet. It just starts to

00:29:50.660 --> 00:29:52.319
go on and again. What are you doing? What are

00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:56.640
you doing? It's Dance's turn. All right. Attack

00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:02.880
number one from Dance. She curled her pants,

00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:10.599
too. Oh, nice. unfair. How? So, huh? I mean,

00:30:10.660 --> 00:30:12.960
she has to combat the stench of Zavar. Where's

00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:16.539
my crit? Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen

00:30:16.539 --> 00:30:20.119
of America, where is my crit? I was about to

00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:21.599
say, I was about to say we're rolling twice as

00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:23.420
many characters as you, but we're not. We're

00:30:23.420 --> 00:30:26.059
rolling the same amount. Yeah. All right. A lot

00:30:26.059 --> 00:30:28.680
of guys. I'm going to crit on Zavar as Arhalot.

00:30:28.700 --> 00:30:30.680
I'm going to leave the room. That'd be great.

00:30:30.900 --> 00:30:37.020
I'm here for that. Attack number two. Okay. That's

00:30:37.020 --> 00:30:44.299
16 to hit. That will hit. Cool. 10 points of

00:30:44.299 --> 00:30:46.259
damage. Hell yeah, and you add your modifier

00:30:46.259 --> 00:30:50.579
twice for the two different hits. 13. Hell yeah.

00:30:50.980 --> 00:30:53.519
And she's going to spend another ki point. Okay.

00:30:54.420 --> 00:30:56.119
She just sees me heal in front of her, and she

00:30:56.119 --> 00:30:58.920
is not going to let that slide. No. Her determination

00:30:58.920 --> 00:31:01.960
not breaking. She's just going to go in again.

00:31:02.339 --> 00:31:04.579
Pummel him. And that is three used, correct?

00:31:04.740 --> 00:31:09.289
Two left? Two left. Okay. And that's a 23 to

00:31:09.289 --> 00:31:11.750
hit. That's going to hit. These rules are on

00:31:11.750 --> 00:31:17.890
fire tonight. And that's an additional six damage.

00:31:18.410 --> 00:31:21.410
Not bad. Already just taking him down again after

00:31:21.410 --> 00:31:25.769
that massive heal. But can he do it again? Crispin,

00:31:25.789 --> 00:31:30.589
what do you think? Crispin thinks, nope. You

00:31:30.589 --> 00:31:32.990
know, I think, especially with your mouth wide

00:31:32.990 --> 00:31:34.950
open for this gulp, you're rolling a con save.

00:31:35.879 --> 00:31:38.819
Against stench. Oh, God. Yeah. All right. I'm

00:31:38.819 --> 00:31:41.039
all out of buttons, so. I won't give you disadvantage

00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:43.079
because you're literally licking him, but I'm

00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:46.160
not that mean. Yeah. All right. I've just got

00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:50.880
my bless. 15 on the die, which I think is fine.

00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:55.140
Plus two from the bless. You're fine. All right.

00:31:55.380 --> 00:31:57.339
Your stomach doesn't churn at all as you lick

00:31:57.339 --> 00:32:00.779
this gross ghoul man. Ghast, actually, you might

00:32:00.779 --> 00:32:03.819
call him. He's smart. That's a smart move, I

00:32:03.819 --> 00:32:07.140
guess. Anyway, go on. All right. Do your stupid

00:32:07.140 --> 00:32:09.000
attack. Yeah, Kristen's going to make another

00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:12.480
bite attack. And I really hope this one hits.

00:32:12.900 --> 00:32:15.960
While I am grappled, I still am fully able to

00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:19.279
sort of dodge and move around. So it does not

00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:21.640
give you advantage of any sort unless I am restrained.

00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:26.640
All right, making my bite attack. Bite me. 13,

00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:29.299
I think that already hits, plus the 4 for Bless.

00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:33.839
Yeah, it hits. Okay. So congratulations, sir.

00:32:33.940 --> 00:32:36.940
You have been swallowed. What? Wait, hang on.

00:32:37.019 --> 00:32:38.640
Do I have a save for that? I just get swallowed?

00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:43.460
The save was the bite attack. Oh, my God. So,

00:32:43.460 --> 00:32:46.299
yeah. So after I make the bite attack and the

00:32:46.299 --> 00:32:51.059
target is grappled, next thing is swallow the

00:32:51.059 --> 00:32:54.519
target. Oh, the toad. The toad makes one bite

00:32:54.519 --> 00:32:58.019
attack against a medium or smaller creature that

00:32:58.019 --> 00:33:00.440
it is grappling. If the attack hits, the target

00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:03.359
is swallowed. And the grapple ends. The swallow

00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:05.740
target is blinded and restrained. It has total

00:33:05.740 --> 00:33:07.440
cover against attacks and other effects outside

00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:10.640
of the toad. And it takes 3d6 acid damage at

00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:13.339
the start of each of the toad's turns. What?

00:33:14.519 --> 00:33:18.019
So what's not super clear here is do I get the

00:33:18.019 --> 00:33:23.880
bite damage or not? Let me look at your sheet

00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:26.700
real fast. Okay. Okay, yeah, you get your full

00:33:26.700 --> 00:33:32.079
damage. Awesome. So that's the D10 plus 2 and

00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:36.460
the D10 poison damage. This is insanity. Who

00:33:36.460 --> 00:33:39.339
let a toad in the field? There's a button. Flashback.

00:33:39.339 --> 00:33:45.400
It didn't happen. Doesn't work for me. No. That

00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:50.799
was last time. So that's 11 for the bite. Oh,

00:33:50.920 --> 00:33:54.319
my cool bad guy. Oh, wait. I'm an idiot. I don't

00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:57.809
take poison damage. I'm undead. Oh. Damn. Okay,

00:33:57.869 --> 00:34:00.089
so then take away that three that I was just

00:34:00.089 --> 00:34:01.630
about to roll, and I don't remember what it was

00:34:01.630 --> 00:34:03.650
last time. So I got some poisoners last time.

00:34:03.670 --> 00:34:07.150
Ah, whatever. It's what it is. Damn. Hopefully

00:34:07.150 --> 00:34:11.909
you take acid damage because swallowed. And as

00:34:11.909 --> 00:34:16.510
a bonus action, Crispin is going to use his feat,

00:34:16.650 --> 00:34:22.730
Combat Wild Shape, to gain 1d8 HP. Oh, shoot.

00:34:22.969 --> 00:34:25.170
Ooh, per level of the spell slot that I burn.

00:34:26.250 --> 00:34:28.829
Yeah, all right. I'm going to burn a second -level

00:34:28.829 --> 00:34:32.289
spell slot, I think. Damn, Mr. Totendutank over

00:34:32.289 --> 00:34:37.889
here. For 2d8. Getting that health back. Of course,

00:34:37.949 --> 00:34:40.409
the second one was just a 1. All right, back

00:34:40.409 --> 00:34:43.329
up to 24, though, so that's not too bad. Bummed

00:34:43.329 --> 00:34:45.210
about burning a second -level spell slot that

00:34:45.210 --> 00:34:48.030
I'm probably going to need later. You now feel

00:34:48.030 --> 00:34:49.789
the worst thing ever in your stomach. Man, that

00:34:49.789 --> 00:34:51.389
was such a bad move. Just writhing around in

00:34:51.389 --> 00:34:53.710
there. It's just so gross and awful, and you

00:34:53.710 --> 00:34:55.630
should feel bad about it. That's going to be

00:34:55.630 --> 00:34:59.130
Jules. All right. Jules is close enough to dance

00:34:59.130 --> 00:35:00.650
to reach over and touch her, right? Absolutely,

00:35:00.789 --> 00:35:03.329
yeah. Cool. He's going to cast level three Cure

00:35:03.329 --> 00:35:06.849
Wounds. Oh, my gosh. Which is 3d8 plus four.

00:35:07.409 --> 00:35:10.829
Holy shit. Party of superheroes. Yeah, they got

00:35:10.829 --> 00:35:14.030
this ghoul kind of facing her down. Zavar's just

00:35:14.030 --> 00:35:17.110
gone. He's in a toad now. Yeah. I mean, she's

00:35:17.110 --> 00:35:23.059
at six right now. Damn. Yeah. Damn. Almost got

00:35:23.059 --> 00:35:30.840
her. So that's 15 points. Okay. What if I roll

00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:32.679
Zavar again? Do I have to cut him out of your

00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:36.320
cold, dead, toed stomach? I mean, I assumed that

00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:39.960
he would go after one of the ghouls. No, it's

00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:42.800
either Zavar or Jules. Oh, my God. His target

00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:45.440
was whoever he blames for Zebulon's death. And

00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:47.019
in that moment, you made it split between two

00:35:47.019 --> 00:35:49.119
people. He doesn't blame those ghouls. They don't

00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:52.829
do shit. So he's just not going to attack Zebulon

00:35:52.829 --> 00:35:55.269
either the whole time? He already attacked Zebulon.

00:35:55.269 --> 00:35:57.670
If you're in his way, he will. All right. Hmm.

00:35:57.829 --> 00:36:01.710
All right. And then as a bonus action. Give me

00:36:01.710 --> 00:36:04.670
some wiggle room here, man. Now wait just a damn

00:36:04.670 --> 00:36:07.010
minute. Don't you make me drink that. Yeah, you

00:36:07.010 --> 00:36:10.690
got to take a sip. You got to take a sip. I can't

00:36:10.690 --> 00:36:12.849
believe you're really doing this. Yeah, I'm doing

00:36:12.849 --> 00:36:25.500
it. Fine. Fine. Really? Fine. I love that he's

00:36:25.500 --> 00:36:27.500
now got two partial bottles sitting over there.

00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:33.440
You're up a little bit soon. Okay. Okay. And

00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:35.159
then as a bonus action, Jules is going to cast

00:36:35.159 --> 00:36:38.260
Bardic Inspiration onto Dance. Hell yeah. Oh

00:36:38.260 --> 00:36:40.980
my gosh. This team is so good at working together.

00:36:42.619 --> 00:36:44.440
You just grab Dance, you heal her, and she kind

00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:47.159
of turns back to you, gives you like a nod, and

00:36:47.159 --> 00:36:50.309
just like... smiling as her own body gets reinvigorated.

00:36:51.769 --> 00:36:54.389
Damn. And then Luke sort of glows. She gets even

00:36:54.389 --> 00:36:56.949
more powered up. Probably turns into this ghoul

00:36:56.949 --> 00:36:59.309
next to her. And that's going to be Zebulon.

00:36:59.710 --> 00:37:02.730
I didn't realize this. Yeah. But Bardic Inspiration,

00:37:02.869 --> 00:37:05.150
now that I'm fifth level, is 1d8 instead of 1d6.

00:37:05.630 --> 00:37:08.889
Whoa. Yeah. Good to know. I'm glad we haven't

00:37:08.889 --> 00:37:11.730
used that yet. All right. Let me trade my reminder

00:37:11.730 --> 00:37:15.750
die in here. You guys are just cheating. Making

00:37:15.750 --> 00:37:19.610
shit up. All right, Zebulon. What shit are you

00:37:19.610 --> 00:37:22.969
going to make up now? All right. Jeez. Zebulon.

00:37:23.230 --> 00:37:27.570
Oh, this is great. Zebulon doesn't have to move

00:37:27.570 --> 00:37:32.309
at all. Nice. Which means that he's going to,

00:37:32.409 --> 00:37:36.989
as a bonus action, use steady aim. Stop it. So

00:37:36.989 --> 00:37:40.210
he gets advantage on the first roll. So that.

00:37:41.250 --> 00:37:44.130
Yeah. Yeah. And probably, I mean, we don't really

00:37:44.130 --> 00:37:45.889
double up. Oh, no, it's not flanking yet. Shit.

00:37:46.090 --> 00:37:47.989
That's fine. All right. That's a goal. Advantage

00:37:47.989 --> 00:37:53.789
on the first roll. I'm guessing that 15 plus

00:37:53.789 --> 00:37:58.809
8 hits. Yeah, it hits. Okay. Let's, no, I'll

00:37:58.809 --> 00:38:01.409
do the second attack first, and then we'll resolve

00:38:01.409 --> 00:38:04.250
damage. You crit. I'm going to hit. You. Yeah,

00:38:04.250 --> 00:38:09.599
right. 21. That's going to hit. All righty. Nice.

00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:12.320
Going for old Arhalon again? Yes, yes. Sorry,

00:38:12.420 --> 00:38:15.139
I didn't say that. But yeah. He's trying to get

00:38:15.139 --> 00:38:16.800
by you, and you just turn around and start slashing

00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:20.420
at him again. Don't ignore me, Arhalon. I told

00:38:20.420 --> 00:38:23.619
you to say that you're sorry. And you hear him

00:38:23.619 --> 00:38:27.059
just... Zebulon! But not at you. Towards them.

00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:32.599
Zebulon! Let's see. Sword damage, that's 12.

00:38:33.320 --> 00:38:36.460
I will say right now, with Zavar in the stomach,

00:38:36.780 --> 00:38:39.599
I'm going to attack Jules. He doesn't see Zavar.

00:38:40.019 --> 00:38:43.739
I'm going to attack Jules. Okay, so 2d8 plus

00:38:43.739 --> 00:38:46.400
5 times 2. I'm at 23 right now, and I still have

00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:52.460
to roll 3d6 for sneak attack damage. Okay. Wow.

00:38:53.039 --> 00:38:58.179
1, 1, 2. It was possible for you to drop Arhalon

00:38:58.179 --> 00:39:03.300
right there, but you didn't. That second sneak

00:39:03.300 --> 00:39:05.780
attack, he almost shrugs it off. He's like, just...

00:39:05.929 --> 00:39:07.809
Not looking towards you. He's almost moving away.

00:39:07.909 --> 00:39:09.690
I think you're surprised to see how little he's

00:39:09.690 --> 00:39:13.010
acknowledging it. What the fuck do you want?

00:39:13.349 --> 00:39:15.269
Nope, sorry. Cut. You're going to have to start

00:39:15.269 --> 00:39:17.449
that over. I was going to have him move, but

00:39:17.449 --> 00:39:20.190
then I remember because of the... No, it's staying.

00:39:20.510 --> 00:39:25.829
Okay, that's fine. That's the ghoul's turn. Don't

00:39:25.829 --> 00:39:28.150
forget, too, you can use your Bardic Inspiration

00:39:28.150 --> 00:39:30.929
on attack rolls. And if you do, he has to make

00:39:30.929 --> 00:39:34.760
a DC save, a con save. Yes. In order... And then,

00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:36.599
or else he takes thunder damage equal to the

00:39:36.599 --> 00:39:38.539
bar of consideration. Oh, that's right. So that's

00:39:38.539 --> 00:39:41.099
an additional d8 of damage potentially. Yeah.

00:39:41.260 --> 00:39:43.760
Oh, shit. Right. The extra damage would have

00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:47.579
made a difference probably, maybe. Yeah, I just

00:39:47.579 --> 00:39:49.000
didn't even think of it because I thought it

00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:53.320
was going to hit. Magoole all over Jules. Jules,

00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:57.639
Jules. Jules, this ghoul hits. Wait, when did

00:39:57.639 --> 00:40:01.039
he get back? Like two turns ago. Yeah, he had

00:40:01.039 --> 00:40:02.260
to use an entire turn so he couldn't attack,

00:40:02.420 --> 00:40:03.539
but now he can finally actually do something.

00:40:03.539 --> 00:40:04.639
I haven't looked at the map. I should probably

00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:09.119
look at the map. He got only six damage. Okay.

00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:11.820
But he had a con save. It's not the worst. Oh,

00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:15.699
holy shit. I had a con save. Make the con save,

00:40:15.719 --> 00:40:19.739
Jules. Yeah, apparently. David looks like he's

00:40:19.739 --> 00:40:23.019
about to kill me. He looks like genuinely he

00:40:23.019 --> 00:40:25.079
looks like he's about to kill Jules. I'm not

00:40:25.079 --> 00:40:27.739
okay with this. Make a con save. I'm not okay

00:40:27.739 --> 00:40:30.099
with this. Dude, yeah, Jules needs to get back.

00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:35.179
Fucking shit. There's no back to go to. Just

00:40:35.179 --> 00:40:38.980
up against the wall behind Dan's. Hang on, I'm

00:40:38.980 --> 00:40:41.360
trying to see if I have anything that could help

00:40:41.360 --> 00:40:44.019
this situation. Boom, you inspirations yourself.

00:40:44.980 --> 00:40:48.019
I considered it. Yeah, it's just going to be

00:40:48.019 --> 00:40:52.139
a... Shit. It's just going to be a straight plus

00:40:52.139 --> 00:40:56.059
one. Okay. I don't like the way your face looks

00:40:56.059 --> 00:41:01.340
right now, dude. No, me neither. 16. As his claws

00:41:01.340 --> 00:41:04.500
rake into you, this thickness entering your blood,

00:41:04.679 --> 00:41:07.699
you grit your teeth, you look up, you see Arhalon's

00:41:07.699 --> 00:41:11.460
eyes burning or on you, locked on you. He's about

00:41:11.460 --> 00:41:14.860
to move, and as this paralytic sensation runs

00:41:14.860 --> 00:41:17.119
through your body, you grit your teeth and you

00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:20.159
push it out. You are not paralyzed, so I am not

00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:23.050
going to auto -crit you. When Arhalon walks over

00:41:23.050 --> 00:41:26.449
there. Oh, yeah. That would have been horrifying.

00:41:26.690 --> 00:41:28.510
That would have been game over. I was pretty

00:41:28.510 --> 00:41:30.929
sure you were going to die. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

00:41:30.969 --> 00:41:33.690
Dude, the only time I've ever seen that face

00:41:33.690 --> 00:41:36.949
on you. Yeah. Yeah. Is once I've died. I had

00:41:36.949 --> 00:41:39.969
to go for it, but I saw, like, I, okay. Sorry.

00:41:40.269 --> 00:41:43.070
Before that happens, let me toad the toad with

00:41:43.070 --> 00:41:45.869
my ghoul. I miss. All right. Crispin, you just

00:41:45.869 --> 00:41:48.349
dodged my toad's claw. It's like three on the

00:41:48.349 --> 00:41:50.269
die. I don't care what you do. Okay, sweet. It's

00:41:50.269 --> 00:41:53.739
going to miss. Thank goodness. Damn. Okay. Okay.

00:41:54.400 --> 00:41:57.400
That's Arhalon. I need to go for the target set.

00:41:58.079 --> 00:42:02.019
Once he's down, then this pesky thing, the skeletal

00:42:02.019 --> 00:42:05.019
half dragon, whatever this thing is, that can

00:42:05.019 --> 00:42:07.820
fall as well. Everyone will fall eventually to

00:42:07.820 --> 00:42:10.760
the blood rage. But first, it has to be you,

00:42:10.940 --> 00:42:14.300
Jules. It has to be you. So I'm going for an

00:42:14.300 --> 00:42:22.909
attack. 17 to hit. Yeah, that hits. Nine points

00:42:22.909 --> 00:42:26.929
of damage. Jesus. Second attack. Oh, no. Imagine

00:42:26.929 --> 00:42:29.829
two crits. Right. It's instant death. Yeah, it'd

00:42:29.829 --> 00:42:34.610
be over. 14 to hit. Shit, tie goes to the attacker.

00:42:38.090 --> 00:42:44.210
Minimum damage. Only six. Holy fuck. What was

00:42:44.210 --> 00:42:47.269
your HP? Seven. Oh, my God. He's got one HP.

00:42:47.429 --> 00:42:52.320
I can't believe it. Minimum damage. Wow. Two

00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:56.460
ones! Wow. So he goes in, he strikes you once.

00:42:56.579 --> 00:42:59.199
I'm like dizzy. I think as you stall back, his

00:42:59.199 --> 00:43:02.280
weapon goes again. You know what? This is what

00:43:02.280 --> 00:43:05.179
happens. Narratively, this is what happens. He

00:43:05.179 --> 00:43:07.360
dives over towards your jewels, and his first

00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:09.840
blade strikes at you hard. Zebulon, you can't

00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:12.610
stop him. He's so... Angry, he's so strong, he

00:43:12.610 --> 00:43:14.889
just pushes right past you, strikes down, and

00:43:14.889 --> 00:43:17.090
cuts at Jules. Jules, that first one hits hard,

00:43:17.130 --> 00:43:18.869
and you feel that second one coming at you. You

00:43:18.869 --> 00:43:21.010
see a blade coming down. I look straight into

00:43:21.010 --> 00:43:23.190
Arlan's eyes as it's happening. You just see,

00:43:23.210 --> 00:43:26.010
like, a void of just pure hatred there, just

00:43:26.010 --> 00:43:32.030
seething hatred. And then there's stone. bounces

00:43:32.030 --> 00:43:34.170
off of his head, smacking him in the crown. His

00:43:34.170 --> 00:43:36.010
weapon goes wide, and you turn around to see

00:43:36.010 --> 00:43:38.989
Miskin peeping out of the hole, waiting for his

00:43:38.989 --> 00:43:42.170
moment! Oh my god. So the weapon strikes you

00:43:42.170 --> 00:43:44.809
and cuts only a glancing blow, essentially, where

00:43:44.809 --> 00:43:47.590
it would have been bad. Holy fuck. Miskin just

00:43:47.590 --> 00:43:50.869
shoots you a thumbs up. He's watching on, terrified.

00:43:51.250 --> 00:43:53.929
It was his one thing, just throw that rock, pick

00:43:53.929 --> 00:44:01.050
that moment. Holy shit. Oh my god. Top of the

00:44:01.050 --> 00:44:04.309
round. Blinded and restrained, and yet I see

00:44:04.309 --> 00:44:07.250
no reason, looking over the spell, why I cannot

00:44:07.250 --> 00:44:12.630
still use it. And so, in your stomach, Crispin,

00:44:12.650 --> 00:44:15.929
you can feel some strange magic sort of churning.

00:44:17.530 --> 00:44:22.550
And that same purple energy flashes out through

00:44:22.550 --> 00:44:26.389
you, all around you. Now, I will say this. Because

00:44:26.389 --> 00:44:29.070
you pulled him, he is no longer within 10 feet

00:44:29.070 --> 00:44:32.269
of Jules. So this is only going to hit Dance

00:44:32.269 --> 00:44:38.309
and Crispin. So inside the toad, you have total

00:44:38.309 --> 00:44:40.590
cover against attacks and other effects outside

00:44:40.590 --> 00:44:44.329
of the toad. So does that mean, does total cover

00:44:44.329 --> 00:44:47.489
work both ways like that? I don't think this

00:44:47.489 --> 00:44:50.179
would. affect it. It's more like normal attacks

00:44:50.179 --> 00:44:52.800
wouldn't be able to hit anyone. This is a save

00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:55.079
base. It's just like, it says it's a point within

00:44:55.079 --> 00:44:57.380
range, not even a point I can see, just any point

00:44:57.380 --> 00:44:59.400
within range. So he's just choosing right on

00:44:59.400 --> 00:45:01.579
him. Sure. So he's basically just channeling

00:45:01.579 --> 00:45:03.900
from himself this sort of 10 -foot aura that's

00:45:03.900 --> 00:45:06.199
going to siphon life into him. All right, pants

00:45:06.199 --> 00:45:08.599
people, let us know. I'm almost positive this

00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:10.300
is totally legal. Look, I looked over it. I was

00:45:10.300 --> 00:45:12.500
very careful about this. I'm almost positive

00:45:12.500 --> 00:45:13.719
there's nothing wrong with it. So you said con

00:45:13.719 --> 00:45:16.539
save from everybody but Jules? And Zebulon. It's

00:45:16.539 --> 00:45:18.840
going to be dance and Crispin. Because I'm doing

00:45:18.840 --> 00:45:25.440
this again. 19 on the die. Get out of here. Dance

00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:30.460
fails. Okay. All right. That was a five. No,

00:45:30.480 --> 00:45:33.820
sorry, a four. Three on the die plus one. Man,

00:45:33.840 --> 00:45:39.380
that was depressing. Eight. Okay. Eight points

00:45:39.380 --> 00:45:42.590
of damage to dance. Four points to Crispin. Not

00:45:42.590 --> 00:45:46.230
great. Not what I wanted at all. But I'm still

00:45:46.230 --> 00:45:48.409
going to heal a good amount. Yeah, it's like,

00:45:48.510 --> 00:45:53.010
because now he's going to take 3d6 in Crispin's

00:45:53.010 --> 00:45:56.030
stomach, so it's like a race. Yeah, literally,

00:45:56.170 --> 00:45:58.889
yeah. But at least he's not burning spell slots

00:45:58.889 --> 00:46:03.190
to do the acid damage. It's an action, probably

00:46:03.190 --> 00:46:05.130
try to escape, right? Does it say anything about

00:46:05.130 --> 00:46:07.909
that? The toad can only have one target swallowed

00:46:07.909 --> 00:46:10.349
at a time. If the toad dies, a swallowed creature

00:46:10.349 --> 00:46:12.449
is no longer restrained by it, and it can escape

00:46:12.449 --> 00:46:14.230
from the corpse using five feet of movement,

00:46:14.409 --> 00:46:16.789
exiting prone. Oh, so I gotta kill you to get

00:46:16.789 --> 00:46:19.530
out? That's what it seems like. Hot dog! What

00:46:19.530 --> 00:46:23.329
a gross... Ugh, my boss! Zafar's just screaming

00:46:23.329 --> 00:46:26.530
from somewhere deep in the stomach. He's trying

00:46:26.530 --> 00:46:30.289
so hard to do anything. I mean, unless there's

00:46:30.289 --> 00:46:34.090
generic escape. I don't know. It probably takes

00:46:34.090 --> 00:46:36.150
an action regardless, which I used mine. I need

00:46:36.150 --> 00:46:40.030
to heal. Let's dance. She's going to continue.

00:46:40.289 --> 00:46:43.530
Oh, no, she can't. Not on Zavar, at least. Yeah,

00:46:43.550 --> 00:46:47.489
nope. Zavar is no longer a target. He is behind

00:46:47.489 --> 00:46:50.610
full cover. It was that ghost ghoul that just

00:46:50.610 --> 00:46:52.849
hit Jules right in front of her. Yeah, so she's

00:46:52.849 --> 00:46:56.469
going for that ghoul. Is that going to be flanking,

00:46:56.550 --> 00:46:58.130
perhaps? That's what I was just going to ask.

00:46:58.190 --> 00:47:01.940
With Arhalon? Oh. No. He's knocking his enemy

00:47:01.940 --> 00:47:04.780
to the ghoul. He wants Zavar, and he wants Jules.

00:47:05.320 --> 00:47:09.300
Well, oh, yeah. Okay. All right, so. Zavar's

00:47:09.300 --> 00:47:12.199
in the belly, so he only wants Jules now. Attack

00:47:12.199 --> 00:47:18.199
number one. Let's do it. Eight. No. It's lolling

00:47:18.199 --> 00:47:20.400
sort of half off head, sort of almost like bounces

00:47:20.400 --> 00:47:22.159
out of the way on accident as she strikes out.

00:47:22.260 --> 00:47:24.699
Isn't she blessed? Do you think that? I guess

00:47:24.699 --> 00:47:28.690
it could. You need a four. I mean, it doesn't

00:47:28.690 --> 00:47:33.269
do you any bad to roll it. Negative. And I'm

00:47:33.269 --> 00:47:34.989
going to be honest here. I'm not going to use

00:47:34.989 --> 00:47:36.489
the Bardic Inspiration because you told me I

00:47:36.489 --> 00:47:39.010
need four. I'm supposed to use that before I

00:47:39.010 --> 00:47:40.789
know the outcome. You can use it if you want.

00:47:40.829 --> 00:47:43.570
I don't want to use it. My bad. It was a thought

00:47:43.570 --> 00:47:45.050
that crossed my mind. Okay, that's my good thought.

00:47:45.369 --> 00:47:49.809
I was being dramatic. I'm a drama queen. She

00:47:49.809 --> 00:47:54.090
didn't hit with the first one. That's an 18 on

00:47:54.090 --> 00:47:57.900
the second one. Cool. Don't roll another attack

00:47:57.900 --> 00:48:00.300
against this ghoul. Just roll damage. Huh? This

00:48:00.300 --> 00:48:02.019
ghoul is so close to death. I mean, you could

00:48:02.019 --> 00:48:04.559
tell this. Okay. Okay. Okay. I wish you didn't

00:48:04.559 --> 00:48:05.480
use your bonus action. If you're going to do

00:48:05.480 --> 00:48:09.800
that, do a different ghoul. Okay. Okay. Six.

00:48:10.840 --> 00:48:14.199
Describe it. First, fatality in the combat. Here

00:48:14.199 --> 00:48:16.099
we go. And it wasn't even two. I mean, it's the

00:48:16.099 --> 00:48:18.880
trademark dance going in there and just a total.

00:48:19.610 --> 00:48:22.869
The blow is just so fast, like you can't even

00:48:22.869 --> 00:48:25.869
make sense of it. Just a flurry of blows. And

00:48:25.869 --> 00:48:28.489
that head that's hanging on. Like something in

00:48:28.489 --> 00:48:31.530
anime or something. I don't know. Just... It's

00:48:31.530 --> 00:48:33.489
a flurry of rush. I don't know anime. Is that

00:48:33.489 --> 00:48:37.010
accurate? It's accurate. Okay, cool. It's Gomu

00:48:37.010 --> 00:48:39.869
Gomu Gatling. And you see the head that's sort

00:48:39.869 --> 00:48:41.710
of hanging off. The one hit just goes flying

00:48:41.710 --> 00:48:44.070
off across the room. It's punted like a soccer

00:48:44.070 --> 00:48:49.320
ball. And that ghoul is full dead. Do you want

00:48:49.320 --> 00:48:51.599
to use a key point? I don't know if you actually

00:48:51.599 --> 00:48:53.739
can do two attacks on different targets when

00:48:53.739 --> 00:48:55.460
you use... I don't know. Let me look at what

00:48:55.460 --> 00:48:57.420
the key point says. Well, I mean, decide if you

00:48:57.420 --> 00:48:59.199
want to burn a key point first. Right, yeah.

00:49:00.099 --> 00:49:02.219
I mean, it just says it allows these three features,

00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:04.039
flurry of blows, patient defense, and step of

00:49:04.039 --> 00:49:05.119
the wind. Yeah, I don't know if I gave it up.

00:49:05.219 --> 00:49:06.340
I'm just going to say you can do it, because

00:49:06.340 --> 00:49:08.380
normally you can spread your attacks up. So I'm

00:49:08.380 --> 00:49:10.440
sure it's fine. Yeah, I couldn't see why not.

00:49:10.460 --> 00:49:11.739
So if you want to switch it on a target, you

00:49:11.739 --> 00:49:14.000
can. And there's still a fresh ghoul over there,

00:49:14.059 --> 00:49:16.519
just kind of untouched so far down the bottom.

00:49:17.230 --> 00:49:20.769
Strike it out at Crispin. It's one attack. You

00:49:20.769 --> 00:49:25.769
know what? Fuck it. Yeah. No. No. She's going

00:49:25.769 --> 00:49:30.590
to stay there. Okay. Arhalon's still there. Everybody's

00:49:30.590 --> 00:49:32.889
right in that group. I don't want to move her.

00:49:33.010 --> 00:49:35.369
Yep. I don't think she should move. Hell yeah.

00:49:35.489 --> 00:49:38.070
That's fair. Yeah, save the key point. Crispin

00:49:38.070 --> 00:49:42.210
Dubois. All right. Do rivet. Start of Giant Toad's

00:49:42.210 --> 00:49:46.590
turn. 3d6 acid damage. Gross. Come on with this.

00:49:47.099 --> 00:49:49.559
I really don't want to use Zebulon's bone die

00:49:49.559 --> 00:49:51.800
for this. I feel like those belong to him. Sure.

00:49:51.920 --> 00:49:53.820
So I'm just going to roll three of Crispin's

00:49:53.820 --> 00:50:05.599
die. Ooh, six. Nine. Damn, just a one. Ten acid

00:50:05.599 --> 00:50:09.099
damage from inside the belly of the beast. That's

00:50:09.099 --> 00:50:11.139
pretty good. That's pretty good. He healed for

00:50:11.139 --> 00:50:13.840
11 last time. Well, I don't know if he heals

00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:16.579
all of it or if he heals half of it or what.

00:50:19.079 --> 00:50:22.079
Then... Roll a con save. This guy's still in

00:50:22.079 --> 00:50:24.900
your belly. Still gross. Oh, no, wait, never

00:50:24.900 --> 00:50:26.059
mind. You saved on it. You don't have to roll

00:50:26.059 --> 00:50:27.840
it anymore. Oh, okay. Forget me, I'm stupid.

00:50:28.960 --> 00:50:32.920
Then he's going to bite the other ghoul next

00:50:32.920 --> 00:50:36.400
to him. Oh, my gosh. He can't have two grappled

00:50:36.400 --> 00:50:38.719
at the same time, and he can't have two swallowed

00:50:38.719 --> 00:50:40.889
at the same time. But there's nothing that says

00:50:40.889 --> 00:50:42.590
you can't have a swallow and a bite at the same

00:50:42.590 --> 00:50:46.409
time. There's nothing to say it. Ooh, just a

00:50:46.409 --> 00:50:48.789
three on the die. That's a seven. Ooh, my bless.

00:50:51.030 --> 00:50:53.250
Eight. You also have your Bardic Inspiration.

00:50:53.429 --> 00:50:55.269
I think that's Zebulon's Bardic Inspiration.

00:50:55.429 --> 00:50:58.210
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Never mind. Okay. Sorry, Crispin.

00:50:58.690 --> 00:51:00.690
As you sort of open Ralph to strike, Jules, you

00:51:00.690 --> 00:51:06.909
can hear from inside just... Jules! Jules! You

00:51:06.909 --> 00:51:10.269
need me! Look at your hand, your arm. You're

00:51:10.269 --> 00:51:12.690
a freak. They'll imprison you. They'll never

00:51:12.690 --> 00:51:16.349
accept you. You'll never be free. Says the one

00:51:16.349 --> 00:51:18.489
who's imprisoned in the stomach of a damn toad.

00:51:19.789 --> 00:51:23.190
Screaming out. Holy shit. And then I'm going

00:51:23.190 --> 00:51:25.969
to burn a first level spell slot for a D8 of

00:51:25.969 --> 00:51:27.989
healing. Okay. Which is what I should have done

00:51:27.989 --> 00:51:30.730
the first time instead of stupidly wasting a

00:51:30.730 --> 00:51:34.489
second level spell slot. All right. That's another

00:51:34.489 --> 00:51:39.539
three back. Bananas. That's Jules. All right,

00:51:39.579 --> 00:51:42.219
so first things first, Jules is going to cast

00:51:42.219 --> 00:51:45.460
level 2 Cure Wounds on himself. That's a good

00:51:45.460 --> 00:51:50.300
move. Good call. Good call. Man, Bless is broken,

00:51:50.420 --> 00:51:53.820
huh? Bless is crazy good. All right, so that's

00:51:53.820 --> 00:51:59.480
2d8 plus 4. Roll high. Roll them high. That's

00:51:59.480 --> 00:52:01.880
only 12. That one looks cracked to me. That's

00:52:01.880 --> 00:52:04.519
on the edge. That is not flat face down. It was

00:52:04.519 --> 00:52:10.369
cracked. It's the same. It's the same. So that's

00:52:10.369 --> 00:52:15.929
12. It's something. That's not bad at all. And

00:52:15.929 --> 00:52:20.409
he's also going to expend his final party conspiration

00:52:20.409 --> 00:52:23.590
on himself. And then he's going to move the fuck

00:52:23.590 --> 00:52:28.010
away to here. Well, you're going to incur an

00:52:28.010 --> 00:52:30.190
attack of opportunity from Arhalon. Stop it.

00:52:30.230 --> 00:52:32.769
You with the ponytail. He's not even looking

00:52:32.769 --> 00:52:37.679
at the map. I have my dice out. Yeah. Fuck. He's

00:52:37.679 --> 00:52:39.039
an enemy against you. He will attack you if you

00:52:39.039 --> 00:52:41.280
walk away. I was thinking just directly next

00:52:41.280 --> 00:52:43.300
to him. I have my dice hanging over my thing,

00:52:43.300 --> 00:52:45.079
like, so excited. And you're like, get in the

00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:46.699
candy shop. And Stephen's over here like, candy

00:52:46.699 --> 00:52:50.159
shop's closed. Damn it. No, then, yeah, Jules

00:52:50.159 --> 00:52:51.980
is going to do everything after that. That's

00:52:51.980 --> 00:52:55.199
a good move. You heal. You turn. And it's just

00:52:55.199 --> 00:52:57.619
like you and Arhalot facing each other again.

00:52:57.679 --> 00:53:00.639
Him just glaring down at you. His hands sort

00:53:00.639 --> 00:53:02.440
of, like, twist in the grip of his sword. And

00:53:02.440 --> 00:53:06.460
he raises it high. Before he gets to strike down

00:53:06.460 --> 00:53:10.860
at you, it's Zebulon's turn. Come on, Zeb. Stop

00:53:10.860 --> 00:53:16.360
ignoring me, Arhalon. If you had helped me, maybe

00:53:16.360 --> 00:53:22.119
I'd still be alive. 19 and 16. They'll both hit.

00:53:22.199 --> 00:53:27.179
16 is the AC. Wow. So, I mean, you know what

00:53:27.179 --> 00:53:28.599
we're talking about here. We're talking about

00:53:28.599 --> 00:53:35.150
2d8 plus 10 plus 3d6. Do you want me to roll?

00:53:35.630 --> 00:53:40.489
You will definitely finish him off. Whoa. As

00:53:40.489 --> 00:53:45.489
you say those words, something, I think, does

00:53:45.489 --> 00:53:48.190
snap. It's not that he sees you, but maybe for

00:53:48.190 --> 00:53:50.469
a brief instant, something deep inside him hears

00:53:50.469 --> 00:53:52.489
you. And as his weapon sort of strays up high,

00:53:52.650 --> 00:53:56.409
his face just turns around, his eyes looking

00:53:56.409 --> 00:53:59.929
for you. What do you do? He runs him straight

00:53:59.929 --> 00:54:03.429
through the gut. Holy... Shit. As soon as he

00:54:03.429 --> 00:54:09.130
turns around. And as the strength is sort of

00:54:09.130 --> 00:54:11.210
leaving him, as he's sort of like crumpling,

00:54:11.289 --> 00:54:17.489
his knees go down around you. Body shaking. His

00:54:17.489 --> 00:54:21.809
eyes sort of fix, and he sees you. And he falls.

00:54:22.670 --> 00:54:26.989
He is lying on the cavern floor, bleeding out,

00:54:27.030 --> 00:54:30.449
and his eyes do not see now. That will be my

00:54:30.449 --> 00:54:33.079
ghoul. My last ghoul who's not in a stomach.

00:54:33.900 --> 00:54:36.519
Me and Crispin. I got to get this toad out of

00:54:36.519 --> 00:54:38.519
here. Bring it on. Another three on the die.

00:54:38.639 --> 00:54:40.619
Dude, this ghoul cannot hit this toad. Dude,

00:54:40.639 --> 00:54:42.920
the toad's got... I can't hit this toad. Dude,

00:54:42.980 --> 00:54:47.500
the toad has 11 AC. Oh, my gosh. I did not expect

00:54:47.500 --> 00:54:50.059
to still be a toad. Dude, the whole reason we

00:54:50.059 --> 00:54:52.219
are where we are right now is because of that

00:54:52.219 --> 00:54:57.019
toad. Yeah. Amazing. Just awful. Okay, I don't...

00:54:57.019 --> 00:54:59.440
I think... I think I keep using Wither and Bloom.

00:54:59.539 --> 00:55:01.300
It's my only really good spell I can get at you

00:55:01.300 --> 00:55:02.940
with when you're in there. So let's do it again.

00:55:03.739 --> 00:55:06.880
Wither and Bloom. Here we go. Actually, I need

00:55:06.880 --> 00:55:09.519
you to make a con save. Dance and Crispin again.

00:55:09.719 --> 00:55:11.179
All right, here we go. And it's a lower level

00:55:11.179 --> 00:55:12.480
because I can't. I'm all out of three level.

00:55:12.619 --> 00:55:19.539
Nice. Ooh, oof for Crispin. That's an oof. That

00:55:19.539 --> 00:55:27.280
is a, yeah, crit fail. And dance. That's a 19

00:55:27.280 --> 00:55:31.079
for dance. Okay. Dance takes three points of

00:55:31.079 --> 00:55:34.119
damage. Crispin takes six. Wow. That was it.

00:55:34.599 --> 00:55:37.380
Gotta go lower level and it's not. Yeah. Okay.

00:55:37.500 --> 00:55:40.840
Right. Yeah. I mean, he's trying, he's trying

00:55:40.840 --> 00:55:43.719
to burn this toad down. I'm just still screaming

00:55:43.719 --> 00:55:45.460
as he's getting burned away. I mean, like, what

00:55:45.460 --> 00:55:47.340
do you do with a corpse? You burn it with acid,

00:55:47.400 --> 00:55:52.320
the Walter White style. I respect that. I just

00:55:52.320 --> 00:55:54.880
like. What a fitting, horrible end for this horrible,

00:55:55.000 --> 00:55:57.619
horrible villain. Rouse that is cheering us on.

00:55:58.260 --> 00:56:01.119
Let's dance. All right, she's going to go to

00:56:01.119 --> 00:56:04.820
the ghoul. Slides into old ghoul face. Attack

00:56:04.820 --> 00:56:09.679
number one. With a 19. It's going to hit. Attack

00:56:09.679 --> 00:56:15.039
number two. With a 19. That's going to hit. Let's

00:56:15.039 --> 00:56:21.539
do some damage. Max. Damage. That's 14. On both?

00:56:21.760 --> 00:56:25.599
Oh, my God. That's 14. Yeah. Still up. Whoa.

00:56:25.880 --> 00:56:27.619
All right. That was unexpected. All right. Well,

00:56:27.639 --> 00:56:30.199
then, another key point time, then. Holy moly.

00:56:30.440 --> 00:56:38.239
And that's a 21. It's going to hit. Five. Still

00:56:38.239 --> 00:56:41.269
up. but barely, just like quick pummeling. It's

00:56:41.269 --> 00:56:43.409
like trying so hard to save its master. It's

00:56:43.409 --> 00:56:47.010
like sitting there like, No, Zafar! Zafar! Open

00:56:47.010 --> 00:56:48.829
up! Trying to scratch this toad just desperately,

00:56:48.889 --> 00:56:51.630
then Dan just slides in, pummeling this thing,

00:56:51.730 --> 00:56:53.630
cracking its head against the back wall, the

00:56:53.630 --> 00:56:57.230
fossil glowing so bright behind it. And that's

00:56:57.230 --> 00:57:00.730
going to be Crispin Dubois. All right. You can't

00:57:00.730 --> 00:57:02.530
eat him, because you already got a guy in your

00:57:02.530 --> 00:57:05.309
tummy. Well, no. Hold on. The bite didn't hit

00:57:05.309 --> 00:57:07.510
last time, did it? Oh, it didn't. Right. Yeah.

00:57:07.849 --> 00:57:10.929
Okay. Well, first, let's do the acid damage.

00:57:11.050 --> 00:57:16.130
3d6. Stop it. Another one. My goodness. Are you

00:57:16.130 --> 00:57:23.630
joking? Two ones. Oh, God. Three ones. What?

00:57:23.989 --> 00:57:27.050
No, see, Zebulon just channeled all his bad rolls

00:57:27.050 --> 00:57:31.050
into Crispin. That is so wild. That just took

00:57:31.050 --> 00:57:36.829
a little. He's acclimating, yeah. He's acclimating.

00:57:36.829 --> 00:57:38.929
Oh, my goodness. All right, well, now I need

00:57:38.929 --> 00:57:41.610
to take out my frustrations on this ghoul in

00:57:41.610 --> 00:57:43.309
front of me. All right, can you roll anything

00:57:43.309 --> 00:57:47.050
but a one? Literally another three. Plus four

00:57:47.050 --> 00:57:51.389
is seven. Let's see the bless. Here's a two.

00:57:52.070 --> 00:57:59.769
Jewels. My goodness. Come on, man. Come on, Crispin.

00:58:01.840 --> 00:58:03.559
I was going to go Dissonant Whispers, but I don't

00:58:03.559 --> 00:58:09.079
want him to go away. I want to kill him. So I'm

00:58:09.079 --> 00:58:11.539
going to cast Tasha City's Laughter. Oh, no.

00:58:14.880 --> 00:58:17.539
I maybe have a suggestion. That would break concentration,

00:58:17.739 --> 00:58:20.039
though. I maybe have a suggestion. What's up?

00:58:20.719 --> 00:58:23.980
Stabilize our horn. Can I do that? Yeah, you

00:58:23.980 --> 00:58:26.539
can do a medicine check. Seriously? It's going

00:58:26.539 --> 00:58:29.840
to be a little high to fully stabilize. I roll

00:58:29.840 --> 00:58:33.800
it as DC 15. Okay. But if you get a 10, I'll

00:58:33.800 --> 00:58:37.159
give him advantage on his next save. Okay. Okay.

00:58:37.460 --> 00:58:39.639
Okay. Is there any modifier on it? Whatever your

00:58:39.639 --> 00:58:41.900
magic skill is. Just medicine. Yep. So after

00:58:41.900 --> 00:58:43.760
all this hatred, this vitriol, just staring you

00:58:43.760 --> 00:58:50.300
down, Jules kneels down. 16. And very quickly,

00:58:50.300 --> 00:58:51.880
you just start, you just, like, pull him over.

00:58:51.960 --> 00:58:53.219
It's probably a lot of effort to, like, turn

00:58:53.219 --> 00:58:54.679
his body, but you're immediately just trying

00:58:54.679 --> 00:58:56.639
to put, like, pressure on the wound, trying to,

00:58:56.639 --> 00:58:58.860
like, cover it whenever you can. Yeah, I imagine

00:58:58.860 --> 00:59:01.760
as Jules is trying to lift over his body, he

00:59:01.760 --> 00:59:04.519
looks up to Zeb and says, hey. Exactly, yeah.

00:59:04.539 --> 00:59:06.199
Helps him push all the way over. I love that.

00:59:06.380 --> 00:59:09.059
Oh, that's beautiful. Yeah, he helps turn over

00:59:09.059 --> 00:59:12.199
with the hilt of his sword that's still in Arhalon.

00:59:13.519 --> 00:59:18.119
That's less than horrifying. You two are working

00:59:18.119 --> 00:59:20.199
on Arhalon. Zebulon, I'm not going to make that

00:59:20.199 --> 00:59:23.019
your action. It's flavor. It's cool. Jules is

00:59:23.019 --> 00:59:26.380
stabilizing Arhalon. You see, I mean, you trust

00:59:26.380 --> 00:59:30.050
him with this. What do you want to do? Yeah,

00:59:30.170 --> 00:59:33.289
as long as Zebulon knows that our Halan is stable,

00:59:33.570 --> 00:59:38.650
he'll jump down two squares and start to attack

00:59:38.650 --> 00:59:44.969
this last ghoul. 14 plus 8. Describe it. Okay.

00:59:46.650 --> 00:59:49.309
Dan's got him so low. You don't need much more

00:59:49.309 --> 00:59:54.690
than that. Yeah, Zebulon's walking over as she's

00:59:54.690 --> 00:59:56.630
just like, punch, punch, punch, punch, punch,

00:59:56.630 --> 00:59:59.110
punch, punch. And then finally, when there's

00:59:59.110 --> 01:00:06.250
a break in the action. After you. Gestures. Zebulon

01:00:06.250 --> 01:00:12.409
steps up. Zebulon just lops his head off. Hey,

01:00:13.289 --> 01:00:17.630
Dan. Let's be straight here. I'm burning all

01:00:17.630 --> 01:00:19.550
my spell slots pretty fast. Zavar's just in a

01:00:19.550 --> 01:00:22.480
toad. I can keep playing this game of I'm going

01:00:22.480 --> 01:00:25.420
to keep running this same spell over and over,

01:00:25.500 --> 01:00:27.880
try to heal, try to do damage. I'm not going

01:00:27.880 --> 01:00:30.260
to win that race. So I'm just going to assume

01:00:30.260 --> 01:00:33.179
everyone sort of takes a step back and just watches.

01:00:33.659 --> 01:00:37.239
You can just see Crispin's body as the giant

01:00:37.239 --> 01:00:40.380
toad. He's like bearing Daniel. It looks like

01:00:40.380 --> 01:00:42.980
he's trying to go to the bathroom. You can see

01:00:42.980 --> 01:00:49.139
his belly shaking. And after... a time. I don't

01:00:49.139 --> 01:00:55.619
know. Let's call it 25, 30 seconds. There's silence

01:00:55.619 --> 01:01:05.219
and silence. Nope. And Crispin just burps up

01:01:05.219 --> 01:01:09.159
a pile of bones. It will call it there.
