00:00:01.840 --> 00:00:04.379
hey there pants people uh steven here just want

00:00:04.379 --> 00:00:06.639
to say real quick before the episode thank you

00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:08.419
for listening thank you for hanging out with

00:00:08.419 --> 00:00:11.339
us thank you for being here we love you enjoy

00:00:11.339 --> 00:00:52.649
the episode light. Now, the Lucidarium of Zinder,

00:00:52.829 --> 00:00:54.649
one of the world's most prestigious performing

00:00:54.649 --> 00:00:57.130
arts schools, is known for producing many talents

00:00:57.130 --> 00:01:00.469
that grace our crystal network. Singers and dancers,

00:01:00.670 --> 00:01:03.109
bards and actors, those that graduate from the

00:01:03.109 --> 00:01:06.209
Lucidarium are destined to impress. When it comes

00:01:06.209 --> 00:01:08.689
to the Lucidarium's alumni, one name always tends

00:01:08.689 --> 00:01:11.109
to overshadow the many, the luminary and battle

00:01:11.109 --> 00:01:14.629
diva known as Diva Luma. Now, Diva Luma was adopted

00:01:14.629 --> 00:01:17.409
by the Lucidarium at an early age. Her natural

00:01:17.409 --> 00:01:19.329
talent had impressed the school's administrators.

00:01:20.140 --> 00:01:22.079
Growing up in the school, she committed her life

00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.280
to song, dance, and celebration. She was a natural,

00:01:25.459 --> 00:01:27.560
the top of her class in each and every category.

00:01:27.859 --> 00:01:30.680
But what really sets Diva Luma apart is her prowess

00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.060
in martial combat, which is greater than the

00:01:33.060 --> 00:01:35.980
title of Battle Diva. All the skills that make

00:01:35.980 --> 00:01:37.879
her an incredible performer make her a deadly

00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:40.280
combatant in a fight. Her agility and control

00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:42.980
over her body, her knowledge of stage effects

00:01:42.980 --> 00:01:45.579
and pyrotechnics. And criminals have better start

00:01:45.579 --> 00:01:47.760
running when the heel shades come off of her

00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:50.459
stiletto blade shoes. Devaluma's last resort

00:01:50.459 --> 00:01:53.900
is a swift, poison -coated kick that is sure

00:01:53.900 --> 00:01:55.859
to drop any villains that stand against her.

00:01:56.780 --> 00:01:59.040
Folks, this is a lovely lady that you do not

00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:06.459
want to step on your face. What the fuck was

00:02:06.459 --> 00:02:11.879
that? Nothing, come on. What? Not even a chuckle?

00:02:13.339 --> 00:02:17.580
No, just a concerned look. That's a good line.

00:02:17.780 --> 00:02:20.400
I don't know. I'm really... This is my humor

00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.659
when I'm tired. Oh, my God. I'm sorry. Folks,

00:02:23.780 --> 00:02:26.879
you are in for a wild ride today. It's a lovely

00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:29.719
lady you do not want to step on your face. Wow.

00:02:29.819 --> 00:02:31.939
Yeah, you already said it. I thought I'd get

00:02:31.939 --> 00:02:36.240
a laugh. We didn't think it was very funny the

00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:37.800
first time. I thought I'd get a laugh. Folks,

00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:43.710
write in. That was funny. Oh, so tired. Only

00:02:43.710 --> 00:02:45.909
one rock star a day. I'm still on it. Still doing

00:02:45.909 --> 00:02:47.909
it. I don't have a booch. No booch today, unfortunately.

00:02:48.030 --> 00:02:51.710
Oh, no booch. No booch. Just one sad rock star

00:02:51.710 --> 00:02:55.449
and here I am. And I barely slept because the

00:02:55.449 --> 00:02:57.270
spiders got into my house. They got into my house.

00:02:57.490 --> 00:02:59.449
I'm pulling out for you, David. Do it. They got

00:02:59.449 --> 00:03:01.990
into my house, Jeremy Wolf. They were behind

00:03:01.990 --> 00:03:04.400
my couch. I was sitting on that couch. You guys

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:06.860
got texts from me last night in our group chat.

00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.419
Like, you guys asleep? I have to leave right

00:03:09.419 --> 00:03:11.599
now. You can't be here. I have to move out. I

00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:13.939
have to burn my house down. Like, oh my gosh.

00:03:14.099 --> 00:03:16.020
I read those this morning and I thought the worst

00:03:16.020 --> 00:03:18.639
when I was like starting to read them. The worst

00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:22.020
actually happened. And I was like, what the hell

00:03:22.020 --> 00:03:24.939
is happening? Yeah. And it had just started to

00:03:24.939 --> 00:03:28.479
storm here too. So it was a really, really eerie

00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.300
moment. The worst happened. They got into my

00:03:31.300 --> 00:03:33.969
house. You literally texted and said, are you

00:03:33.969 --> 00:03:36.669
guys awake? And then I said, yeah, what's up?

00:03:37.129 --> 00:03:40.310
And then you said, I might need to leave. Yeah.

00:03:40.449 --> 00:03:43.729
I was like, oh no, what's happening? Yeah, they

00:03:43.729 --> 00:03:45.930
got out of my house. Is your house on fire? No

00:03:45.930 --> 00:03:49.909
worse. The big spiders were in it. I don't understand

00:03:49.909 --> 00:03:51.990
you not getting this. It was a big spider. I'll

00:03:51.990 --> 00:03:53.069
give you that. It was a big spider. There were

00:03:53.069 --> 00:03:55.610
two of them, actually. Two big spiders. There

00:03:55.610 --> 00:03:57.090
could be a hundred big. If there's two, there's

00:03:57.090 --> 00:03:59.990
a hundred. That's how it all works. I couldn't

00:03:59.990 --> 00:04:01.590
even do notes until today. I had to kick off

00:04:01.590 --> 00:04:04.870
my shoes if I had shoes on. I had to go in the

00:04:04.870 --> 00:04:06.889
middle of the room away from any walls and furniture

00:04:06.889 --> 00:04:09.469
and just stand there and observe every corner,

00:04:09.550 --> 00:04:11.370
every piece of wall, piece of floor for like

00:04:11.370 --> 00:04:15.449
an hour. I wish I could help you, man. I mean,

00:04:15.449 --> 00:04:18.790
this is real phobia. Real phobias are honestly,

00:04:18.889 --> 00:04:21.009
it's wacky. It's a wacky characteristic, all

00:04:21.009 --> 00:04:24.220
that. But honestly, true phobias are... I wouldn't

00:04:24.220 --> 00:04:26.199
wish on my worst enemy. They are horrible things.

00:04:26.339 --> 00:04:27.779
I'm glad you made it out all right. Because they're

00:04:27.779 --> 00:04:29.120
like, it doesn't make any sense. They're stupid

00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.199
little bugs. I know they can't do anything, but

00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.579
my body does not like them. Yeah, I mean, they're

00:04:33.579 --> 00:04:35.120
definitely scary. I don't want them on me, but.

00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.899
How do you sleep in a house when you know they

00:04:37.899 --> 00:04:41.160
could be anywhere? Silent, maybe deadly. I don't

00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:44.459
know. Well, at least that. I don't think deadly.

00:04:44.899 --> 00:04:49.740
Hey, speaking of deadly, we are in a very deadly

00:04:49.740 --> 00:04:53.459
encounter here. Actually, we are in. Two different

00:04:53.459 --> 00:04:57.939
encounters. The party split up. Me, very tired,

00:04:58.019 --> 00:05:00.699
running it. It reminds me of something. It makes

00:05:00.699 --> 00:05:03.800
me reminisce about a previous fight and a previous

00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.240
arc where the party was split up. I feel like

00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:08.259
something really bad happened at the end of that

00:05:08.259 --> 00:05:10.240
fight. Do you guys remember this? No. I do remember.

00:05:10.500 --> 00:05:13.040
You do remember. I don't. I don't, David. It

00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.379
probably wasn't important. Yeah, no. Nothing

00:05:15.379 --> 00:05:19.160
important happened. And here we are again. Shit

00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:23.560
has gone down. I have a... I was going to show

00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:24.800
you guys some pictures. I have some pretty cool

00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:27.040
pictures of characters in this arc. This combat

00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.139
partially is in the book, actually. There is

00:05:30.139 --> 00:05:33.800
a point in the book where Diva Luma performing

00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.899
on stage, more just like a street stage and a

00:05:36.899 --> 00:05:38.899
tavern as you're kind of... There's not a whole

00:05:38.899 --> 00:05:40.319
building. You're kind of moving through the city

00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:43.240
in the actual arc itself. And this does go off.

00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:47.180
A stage effect goes off and she does launch out

00:05:47.180 --> 00:05:49.620
and begin to attack. I have Art of Diva Luma.

00:05:50.059 --> 00:05:52.199
I have art of Margus Ruba because Margus owned

00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:57.180
that tavern and was there for that combat. Even

00:05:57.180 --> 00:06:01.259
got a little art of Azranir, R .I .P. Dead before

00:06:01.259 --> 00:06:03.240
he really got to be explored, which is fine because

00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:05.480
he had a place for him. He's dead. He's gone.

00:06:06.540 --> 00:06:08.279
I didn't have art for everybody, though, so I

00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:10.560
had to kind of get a little creative here. We'll

00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:12.300
touch on that in a second. But first of all,

00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:13.899
this is our map. You guys looking at the map?

00:06:14.350 --> 00:06:17.389
We have a close -up of our two battle maps. Thanks,

00:06:17.449 --> 00:06:20.029
of course, to Rochelle. She came in clutch over

00:06:20.029 --> 00:06:22.709
the week here for us because I needed these close

00:06:22.709 --> 00:06:24.389
-up versions of these with some actual furniture

00:06:24.389 --> 00:06:26.009
thrown in. Just really give the character to

00:06:26.009 --> 00:06:28.410
the fight. And damn, once again, did she deliver.

00:06:28.610 --> 00:06:31.589
Yep. You see, like, the corners are tight here,

00:06:31.629 --> 00:06:33.569
especially downstairs. It's going to be a tight,

00:06:33.610 --> 00:06:36.009
tight combat. Yeah, very small map, especially

00:06:36.009 --> 00:06:39.069
downstairs. Yeah. So you have our Diva Luma.

00:06:39.149 --> 00:06:41.370
We have a Dead Razz Rainier. We have a Margus

00:06:41.370 --> 00:06:45.189
Ruba. We have some Dwargar, actual official tokens.

00:06:45.610 --> 00:06:47.509
But I had to get a little silly with the rest.

00:06:47.769 --> 00:06:49.829
So the roles of DePiero and Ledoux, we played

00:06:49.829 --> 00:06:52.069
by some very pompous looking real turtles that

00:06:52.069 --> 00:06:54.189
I found online. Look at those turtles. Yeah,

00:06:54.230 --> 00:06:55.870
they're pretty, pretty cute turtles. Snooty.

00:06:56.379 --> 00:06:58.959
I only saw the top one. I only saw Dave Piero.

00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.259
Look at those turtles. No, that's a cute -looking

00:07:01.259 --> 00:07:03.040
turtle. Look at those eyes. They're judging you

00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.540
right now. Yeah, but I have to zoom so far in

00:07:05.540 --> 00:07:07.939
to see that it's anything more than just a turtle.

00:07:08.060 --> 00:07:11.180
It's true. It's true. I still... Yeah, it's a

00:07:11.180 --> 00:07:13.160
cool turtle. So we have those guys. Nice job,

00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.259
David. Zenya Aruba will be played by Vin from

00:07:15.259 --> 00:07:17.360
the cover art of Brandon Sanderson's Final Empire,

00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:20.240
because Goth, which is an incredible book. It's

00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.709
the first of the Mistborn trilogy. And Turbo,

00:07:22.910 --> 00:07:24.910
the bat, will be played by Batty the bat from

00:07:24.910 --> 00:07:26.930
Fringally the Last Rainforest, which might be

00:07:26.930 --> 00:07:29.889
a good movie. It might be. Are you kidding me?

00:07:30.029 --> 00:07:31.649
I've got to watch it again. Are you kidding me?

00:07:31.910 --> 00:07:34.529
That scarred me as a kid. I think that's a really

00:07:34.529 --> 00:07:39.370
small part for Xenia. I mean, is she dead? What?

00:07:39.870 --> 00:07:42.550
Isn't Xenia dead? She looks pretty dead. Right.

00:07:42.709 --> 00:07:45.389
Big old red crossover. Yeah. Is she dead, though,

00:07:45.430 --> 00:07:47.209
or is she making saves? She looks pretty dead

00:07:47.209 --> 00:07:50.730
to me. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I don't know. Okay.

00:07:50.810 --> 00:07:52.350
I don't know. You don't know. I don't really

00:07:52.350 --> 00:07:55.269
see a lot of... I don't know. Yeah. All right.

00:07:55.610 --> 00:07:59.370
Well... You ready? Yeah, I was like... Well,

00:07:59.370 --> 00:08:02.029
hold on. A few more things to touch on first.

00:08:03.649 --> 00:08:06.750
Hold your damn horses, ponytail. Whoa, whoa,

00:08:06.750 --> 00:08:10.350
whoa. Is there a drink for that? Oh, no. Let's

00:08:10.350 --> 00:08:13.009
wait just a damn minute. Yeah. Jean -Franco has

00:08:13.009 --> 00:08:14.709
just enough time to finish tuning to the Ring

00:08:14.709 --> 00:08:16.350
of Spell story that you gave him last time. You

00:08:16.350 --> 00:08:18.540
gave it to him at three. It's just now four o

00:08:18.540 --> 00:08:20.180
'clock. He had just, he literally had like an

00:08:20.180 --> 00:08:22.699
hour, boom, happened. Then we had a little conversation

00:08:22.699 --> 00:08:24.819
that led into this combat right after he finished

00:08:24.819 --> 00:08:27.079
attuning. His weapon, you know, leads against

00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:29.660
the wall across the small chamber about 10 feet

00:08:29.660 --> 00:08:32.519
away from the cell door. He did get to keep his

00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:34.379
shield though, as it wasn't seen as a threat

00:08:34.379 --> 00:08:36.480
by the silent burst. So he is hanging on to his

00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:40.500
full AC number for this fight. Batty hangs in

00:08:40.500 --> 00:08:42.840
the room's northwest corner near the spear and

00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:45.960
just above the body of Zinnia Ruba. LeDoux is

00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.620
tucked away in the back corner of the 10x10 cell

00:08:48.620 --> 00:08:50.600
with Jean standing at the cell's front, trying

00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:53.940
to keep the Duergar away from his friend? Maybe.

00:08:55.340 --> 00:08:57.360
Upstairs. We can see Amos Neer and Larissa Rin

00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:58.879
have fled the room. I don't want to put them

00:08:58.879 --> 00:08:59.860
on the map because I don't feel like getting

00:08:59.860 --> 00:09:02.220
tokens for them. They're gone. They're out. They

00:09:02.220 --> 00:09:04.740
move past the Duergar, who are set to fight against

00:09:04.740 --> 00:09:07.659
the Mad Diva. There are actually four exits to

00:09:07.659 --> 00:09:09.500
this chamber, two on the east wall and two on

00:09:09.500 --> 00:09:11.759
the west. The Duergar are moving in from the

00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.009
main entrances on the east wall. The stage sits

00:09:15.009 --> 00:09:17.850
in the north center of the room. Azra's corpse

00:09:17.850 --> 00:09:20.330
lies on the floor, blood pooling around the front

00:09:20.330 --> 00:09:22.669
of the stage. Diva Luma stands upon it still,

00:09:22.929 --> 00:09:25.029
and the pink haze that seemingly drove her to

00:09:25.029 --> 00:09:26.690
this state has settled along the boards of the

00:09:26.690 --> 00:09:29.169
stage, no longer actively in the air, just in

00:09:29.169 --> 00:09:31.230
case you were worried about that. Jules and Chester

00:09:31.230 --> 00:09:33.009
stand at the western edge of the stage, with

00:09:33.009 --> 00:09:35.370
Jules facing closer to the action, kind of Chester

00:09:35.370 --> 00:09:37.769
tucked in right behind him, as I'm sure Jeremy

00:09:37.769 --> 00:09:40.539
would want. Don't assume what I want. All right,

00:09:40.539 --> 00:09:43.220
Chester's right. He's on the stage. He's rolling

00:09:43.220 --> 00:09:45.039
around in the pink dust. He's rolling around

00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:47.539
in the pink dust. No. At the south side of the

00:09:47.539 --> 00:09:49.519
room, Margus, DiPiero, and Blanche all sit at

00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:51.440
tables. Imagine everyone's standing up at this

00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:53.600
point right by each other. At the battle start,

00:09:53.779 --> 00:09:56.700
all of them are around 20 to 25 feet away from

00:09:56.700 --> 00:10:01.399
the stage. With that said, now, Mr. Impatient

00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.840
over there, are you ready? Yeah, I'm ready. And

00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.720
I was worried about that, so thank you for clarifying.

00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:13.240
Hell. Yeah. In that case. Let me get some Sirenscape.

00:10:13.580 --> 00:10:16.840
Let's get a Sirenscape. There it is. But before

00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:18.500
we start, I need to wait just a damn minute.

00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:23.659
Nice. Take your drink. I can't believe there's

00:10:23.659 --> 00:10:25.220
still some of that left. Steven, do you want

00:10:25.220 --> 00:10:26.879
to wait just a damn minute? Yeah, wait just a

00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:30.679
damn minute. You know, the last time I played

00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.179
this particular track, people went for it. Yeah,

00:10:33.179 --> 00:10:37.679
I did. Oh, that's so good. Thanks, D. This in

00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.220
Sirenscape is the Avernus Rock sound set. And

00:10:41.220 --> 00:10:43.960
the last time I played this, I believe, was also

00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:45.679
that last fight where everyone was split up.

00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:46.700
I don't know what you're talking about, David.

00:10:46.700 --> 00:10:48.419
Something happened at the end of it. I can't

00:10:48.419 --> 00:10:50.360
quite put my finger on it. You're such a dick.

00:10:50.379 --> 00:10:51.580
Still don't know what you're talking about. I

00:10:51.580 --> 00:10:53.080
think it's like, you know, it's bombastic music.

00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:54.559
Maybe this is Deva Luma's set. Maybe she was

00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:57.720
lip singing or singing to like a sort of set

00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:59.440
performance emanating out from the stage. I don't

00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:02.179
know. That could be cool. Maybe it's in the media

00:11:02.179 --> 00:11:05.440
itself. This is backtrack. I don't know. Do they

00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:08.179
have fantasy electric guitars? They have fantasy

00:11:08.179 --> 00:11:12.139
everything in this setting. They got cameras.

00:11:12.379 --> 00:11:13.759
They got, I don't know. They got everything.

00:11:14.340 --> 00:11:18.059
Roll for initiative. All right. Yeah. Oh, shit.

00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.279
So I play Chester so infrequently in combat that

00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:25.159
I always forget what his modifiers apply to.

00:11:25.220 --> 00:11:28.220
He has just straight. Is his dex initiative or

00:11:28.220 --> 00:11:30.200
is it just straight initiative? It's his dex.

00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:42.200
Okay. Chester is a 19. Jules is a 7. Ooh. I hate

00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:44.139
that. Tough luck on that, Jules. It's going to

00:11:44.139 --> 00:11:47.940
get worse. Worse, you say? Yeah, fuck. How's

00:11:47.940 --> 00:11:50.080
it going to get worse? Let's hear it. Blanche?

00:11:50.539 --> 00:11:55.340
Yep. Got a 6 initiative. Oh, no. What's your

00:11:55.340 --> 00:11:58.519
dex? That's rough. I have a plus 4 initiative.

00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.340
Wow. I rolled a 2. That is rough, buddy. John

00:12:01.340 --> 00:12:05.090
got a 9. Okay. Well, you won't be surprised to

00:12:05.090 --> 00:12:07.370
hear that I got very high initiatives for the

00:12:07.370 --> 00:12:14.110
most part. So, oh boy. Let's start this off with

00:12:14.110 --> 00:12:18.789
Diva Luma. Fuck. Blood drips from her, like,

00:12:18.789 --> 00:12:22.070
already stained sort of foot, ankle, her shoe,

00:12:22.230 --> 00:12:23.950
which is, like, just kicked out, just, like,

00:12:23.970 --> 00:12:27.289
plunged through Azranir's throat and just spreading

00:12:27.289 --> 00:12:29.789
sort of splash, like, all down her leg. She,

00:12:29.929 --> 00:12:32.450
like, whips it around, turns towards you, jewels

00:12:32.450 --> 00:12:35.029
a spray of blood, scatters across the stage,

00:12:35.210 --> 00:12:39.210
and she just screams out, your eyes are gone,

00:12:39.289 --> 00:12:43.570
mad, this rage, this poison, her veins pulsing

00:12:43.570 --> 00:12:47.029
on her head, and she's going to just, dive towards

00:12:47.029 --> 00:12:50.009
you now get ready this is a luminary and you

00:12:50.009 --> 00:12:51.549
guys would know this is a luminary who's pretty

00:12:51.549 --> 00:12:55.429
prominent in the scene diva luma is no pushover

00:12:55.429 --> 00:13:00.029
anyway let's make some attacks would we just

00:13:00.029 --> 00:13:02.250
like based off of what we know about diva luma

00:13:02.250 --> 00:13:05.190
as a figure of pop culture would we be able to

00:13:05.190 --> 00:13:09.929
glean sort of what class she is yes i think so

00:13:09.929 --> 00:13:12.309
how about your only history check all right okay

00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.740
For some reason, for some reason, Jules doesn't

00:13:18.740 --> 00:13:20.620
know shit about her. Dude, I gotta roll the natural

00:13:20.620 --> 00:13:24.679
one. Natural three, so a seven. Jeez. Give me

00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:26.179
that, dude, give me that holy water. I think

00:13:26.179 --> 00:13:30.019
we need it. You're gonna need it. All right,

00:13:30.019 --> 00:13:32.600
you first. There's just too much at stake tonight.

00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:33.980
So while you're doing that, I'll tell you this.

00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:36.360
You don't know what her fighting style necessarily

00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:40.700
is, but you're about to find out. Did you say

00:13:40.700 --> 00:13:47.149
steak? She slides off. Yeah, that'll get him.

00:13:47.289 --> 00:13:50.169
My foot joke wasn't funny. No, it really wasn't.

00:13:50.169 --> 00:13:52.889
No, it wasn't. And then you also said, like,

00:13:52.990 --> 00:13:54.789
oh, hey, I got pictures. I thought you were going

00:13:54.789 --> 00:13:56.289
to, like, show us pictures, and I was going to

00:13:56.289 --> 00:13:58.289
say something like, oh, yeah, I'd let her step

00:13:58.289 --> 00:14:00.769
on my face. But we never got there because you

00:14:00.769 --> 00:14:03.029
just bragged about having pictures. I was like,

00:14:03.029 --> 00:14:04.990
I want to appear and turn around, like, look,

00:14:05.070 --> 00:14:06.649
guys, and make all the noise in the world, bump

00:14:06.649 --> 00:14:08.870
my mic seven times. I have pictures, and they're

00:14:08.870 --> 00:14:11.909
cool. But, yeah. All right. Well, that's the

00:14:11.909 --> 00:14:14.440
end of the... Foot and face joke. Is there a

00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:17.940
name for that kink, you think? I'll Google it.

00:14:17.980 --> 00:14:21.720
You go. Yeah, sure. Okay. Jeremy, first attack's

00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:23.460
going to only be an 11 to hit. Very bad roll.

00:14:23.659 --> 00:14:25.700
Good. Yeah, it doesn't hit. Second attack is

00:14:25.700 --> 00:14:28.820
going to be a 26 to hit. Fuck you. Okay, cool.

00:14:29.740 --> 00:14:33.120
Not a bad roll, actually. Oh, God. That is going

00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:36.759
to be six points of piercing damage as well as...

00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:39.759
Oh, sorry. That's the wrong die. Oh, wow. It's

00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:42.769
just called the foot fetish. I just assumed that

00:14:42.769 --> 00:14:45.850
there would be a more specific. Pretty good roll

00:14:45.850 --> 00:14:48.070
on my part. So I already said the six points

00:14:48.070 --> 00:14:52.210
of the piercing damage. Nine points of poison

00:14:52.210 --> 00:14:55.090
damage. This slides. Holy shit. First it goes

00:14:55.090 --> 00:14:56.830
to hit you. Perhaps your cloak kind of like,

00:14:56.889 --> 00:14:58.409
you have this full pressure, maybe like weaves

00:14:58.409 --> 00:14:59.929
up front. You're kind of weaving around. It like

00:14:59.929 --> 00:15:02.090
grabs the foot, pulls it away. She spins with

00:15:02.090 --> 00:15:05.169
it and slashes across you. And you take, boom,

00:15:05.289 --> 00:15:08.929
a strike of this poison damage. Bringing you

00:15:08.929 --> 00:15:16.379
down. Well, okay. No, this is really bad. This

00:15:16.379 --> 00:15:19.940
is already really bad. You are fucking us hard.

00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:21.919
You guys did take a short rest before, right?

00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:26.000
No. Yeah, way back when. Should we? Yeah, we

00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.039
should do a full HP. Full HP before this fight.

00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:30.179
I am at full HP. I was at full HP. Was at full

00:15:30.179 --> 00:15:31.779
HP. All right, cool. Wait, wait, wait, wait,

00:15:31.779 --> 00:15:34.120
wait, wait, wait. When did we take a short rest?

00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:36.360
You took a short rest after the Caiman fight

00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:39.120
and before this. So you wouldn't have been hurt.

00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:41.559
Going into this. Okay, no, then apparently I

00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:43.019
did not. Okay, make sure you mark that down.

00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:44.820
I'm going to mark that because, well, no, because

00:15:44.820 --> 00:15:48.279
with my short rest, I do get my full bardic inspiration

00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:50.259
back. Yes, because when you first arrived here,

00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:52.620
you were in the billiards room for one hour with

00:15:52.620 --> 00:15:55.720
D .Va Luma, actually. Okay. So, good. That was

00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:57.679
cool. You said that was kind of like, wow, I

00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:01.559
mean, you know, 15 damage is a lot, but I don't

00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:04.860
know. I mean, it is a lot. I only have 33. Yeah,

00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:08.320
okay, that's a lot. Yeah. Yeah. That's a lot.

00:16:08.460 --> 00:16:10.980
David's face just changed. Oh, no. This is great.

00:16:11.179 --> 00:16:13.159
I'm having a good time. It's going to get worse.

00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:19.159
Oh, my God. But that is Diva Luma's turn. Just

00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:23.659
this rage. She slashes into you. As this blade

00:16:23.659 --> 00:16:25.700
takes you, it slashes across your chest, perhaps,

00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:27.759
like you're in this sort of open spot. You can

00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:29.600
feel, like, a poison coursing through you. Remember

00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:32.080
the black veins that popped up on Azranir as

00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:34.200
he was, like, cut down? You can feel it sort

00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:38.169
of crippling you, weakening you. Chester takes

00:16:38.169 --> 00:16:41.389
this in. Chester, staying right behind you, looks

00:16:41.389 --> 00:16:44.990
to Diva Luma. And Chester, there's something

00:16:44.990 --> 00:16:49.429
in his eyes, like this struggle. Because not

00:16:49.429 --> 00:16:51.429
that long ago, you were on the world of God's

00:16:51.429 --> 00:16:55.230
breath. And you cut down people in that world

00:16:55.230 --> 00:16:58.629
that were under outside control, people who may

00:16:58.629 --> 00:17:00.590
have been innocent had they had control over

00:17:00.590 --> 00:17:03.549
their actions. And now, once again, so soon after

00:17:03.549 --> 00:17:05.289
rejoining you, Chester finds himself in the same

00:17:05.289 --> 00:17:08.839
position. This person, might, the innocent, driven

00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:12.700
to attack you via rage, and yet Jules is hurt.

00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:17.000
There is a pain in Chester's eyes, but he does

00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:20.660
raise his weapon because he understands the lesson

00:17:20.660 --> 00:17:23.099
you taught him then, that sometimes you have

00:17:23.099 --> 00:17:25.859
to do what you have to do, and maybe, just maybe,

00:17:25.900 --> 00:17:27.980
there's a chance to save her. Jules, you would

00:17:27.980 --> 00:17:30.000
remember that when someone Arhalon fought you,

00:17:30.099 --> 00:17:32.680
bringing him down to unconscious was enough to

00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:36.079
remedy the poison inside of him. Once he was

00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:37.819
unconscious, you brought him back and he was

00:17:37.819 --> 00:17:42.299
gone. The rage was gone. You may be able to save

00:17:42.299 --> 00:17:45.759
her. But Chester is up. I feel like what we talked

00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:47.900
about earlier, Stephen, I feel like I have to

00:17:47.900 --> 00:17:50.779
do that with both of us. You might be right.

00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:55.500
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Reset. I mean, we're

00:17:55.500 --> 00:17:57.740
just going to have to try. I really wish I had

00:17:57.740 --> 00:17:59.980
like a solid concrete plan. Yeah, I mean, we

00:17:59.980 --> 00:18:02.839
don't. It's just I don't see not doing that.

00:18:02.940 --> 00:18:07.559
Right. All right. Jules, in pain, will turn to

00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:12.480
Chester. Chester. And he'll nod over. Blanche.

00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:15.579
What? And Chester Misty steps over to Blanche.

00:18:15.779 --> 00:18:20.779
Oh, shit. Okay. Bonus action. He just kind of,

00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:23.700
all right. Doesn't question you at all. It's

00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:25.859
a bonus action? You still have your attack. It's

00:18:25.859 --> 00:18:27.500
a bonus action? Misty steps a bonus action. Really?

00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:31.140
Yep. Oh. Yeah. Okay. That's better. Stands behind

00:18:31.140 --> 00:18:32.880
Blanche, and he's already got his bow out, perhaps.

00:18:32.900 --> 00:18:34.259
That's better. Yeah. Fuck yeah, he does. Hell

00:18:34.259 --> 00:18:35.720
yeah. Of course. He's got to get that range.

00:18:35.819 --> 00:18:45.079
That's his deal. 17 to hit. 17 hits. Max damage.

00:18:45.619 --> 00:18:48.920
Ooh. Six on the die, plus three. That is solid

00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.940
opening move, Chester. Just like, yo, appears

00:18:52.940 --> 00:18:55.180
beside you, Blanche. Blanche, you're still in

00:18:55.180 --> 00:18:56.339
this moment. You're seeing this rum. Chester

00:18:56.339 --> 00:18:58.420
just appears before you. Bow out, just like.

00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:02.539
All right. Take this. Shoots. Come on. Leave

00:19:02.539 --> 00:19:06.380
Jules alone. Just firing, firing. The bow whips

00:19:06.380 --> 00:19:10.339
and rips across with her back. Screams out again.

00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:16.319
And Chester is standing firm. Hell yeah. Let's

00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:19.779
hop downstairs. Because it's Harlan's turn. Oh

00:19:19.779 --> 00:19:21.839
boy. This is where things are going to get even

00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:25.539
worse. Okay. Now here's the thing I'm going to

00:19:25.539 --> 00:19:26.680
do that's actually going to favor you. And I

00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:29.390
think I have to do this. Harlan's going to stand

00:19:29.390 --> 00:19:31.630
up beside the duergar that's opened the door,

00:19:31.690 --> 00:19:34.230
the sort of normal duergar. He's got his blade

00:19:34.230 --> 00:19:36.029
out where he just, like, you know, blood still

00:19:36.029 --> 00:19:37.930
drips from it from where he just struck Xenia,

00:19:37.990 --> 00:19:40.910
and he stands sort of beside the body, kind of

00:19:40.910 --> 00:19:43.230
against the bars of the cell as the cell is whipped

00:19:43.230 --> 00:19:45.890
open. He's going to make attacks against Jaune,

00:19:45.950 --> 00:19:48.049
but because of his positioning and because of

00:19:48.049 --> 00:19:49.490
where the cell bar's in the way, I'm going to

00:19:49.490 --> 00:19:50.990
say he has disadvantage. He's kind of trying

00:19:50.990 --> 00:19:54.109
to stab through the bars towards him. I don't

00:19:54.109 --> 00:19:55.150
think it makes sense for him to be able to attack

00:19:55.150 --> 00:19:59.460
normally. That is one boon. Don't think I'm being

00:19:59.460 --> 00:20:03.720
nice, because I'm a nasty fella. Trust me, I

00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:05.779
know. All right, cool. I'm making two attacks.

00:20:06.019 --> 00:20:09.759
A Jaune at disadvantage. With a d10, apparently.

00:20:10.380 --> 00:20:12.519
Yeah, you can keep using that, actually. Go ahead,

00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:14.039
go ahead. It's not the kind of disadvantage I

00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:19.299
was thinking of. The first will be a miss, and

00:20:19.299 --> 00:20:22.880
the second will be a hit with a 22. I thought

00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:23.960
you only rolled twice. Did you take disadvantage?

00:20:25.500 --> 00:20:27.759
Yeah. No, I'm an idiot. So the first one didn't

00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:28.880
hit. First is a miss. First is a miss. You're

00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:31.240
right. You're right. I forgot. Hey, good on you.

00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:38.019
Tough one. That's an 18. Nope. Oh, the shield.

00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:41.759
Nice. Nice. Brings it around, bashes the weapon

00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:45.079
wide. What I am going to do is after he attacks,

00:20:45.500 --> 00:20:49.059
like parries his blade, slides off, he's, kill

00:20:49.059 --> 00:20:52.779
him! He yells out. I'm using call to attack,

00:20:52.900 --> 00:20:56.140
which is an ability that allows The duergar beside

00:20:56.140 --> 00:20:58.660
him to use its reaction to make a free attack.

00:20:59.140 --> 00:21:03.119
So here we go. This duergar, without disadvantage,

00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:06.339
is right in the doorway. Goes in with a war pick.

00:21:07.579 --> 00:21:15.319
With a 22 to hit. Yep, that's a hit. Okay. Ooh,

00:21:15.420 --> 00:21:17.720
not the best damage, though. Only five points

00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:20.130
on Jean. Okay. As this one, the shield's still

00:21:20.130 --> 00:21:21.990
out blocking the sword. He's not ready for the

00:21:21.990 --> 00:21:23.769
second blow that comes down. He's able to kind

00:21:23.769 --> 00:21:25.450
of parry it with his sort of shoulder shell,

00:21:25.569 --> 00:21:27.769
but it chips off into his shell, rips down some

00:21:27.769 --> 00:21:32.349
of his skin. And he's, I do. Stay behind me.

00:21:33.990 --> 00:21:37.029
That's Harlan's turn. I can do some nasty stuff,

00:21:37.109 --> 00:21:40.549
but I'm not going to use it yet. Hop back upstairs.

00:21:41.890 --> 00:21:45.730
Margus Ruba is immediately charging the stage.

00:21:45.930 --> 00:21:47.890
Oh, thank goodness. We need Margus. Oh, wait.

00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:51.079
Wait, they're charging the stage? They are charging

00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:52.579
the stage, but they're not going on the stage.

00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:55.279
Don't worry. The powder's down. You're not being

00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:59.519
too tricksy. I'm not doing anything gnarly. Margus

00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:01.720
knows what this is. Margus was the one that told

00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:03.920
you. So they're going to charge the stage, reach

00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:07.000
out, and I'm going to make some attacks on D

00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:11.039
.Va Luma. Kind of attacking upwards, but let's

00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:13.619
do this thing. Now, initially I was going to

00:22:13.619 --> 00:22:17.039
give Margus basically just a set, like two damage.

00:22:17.539 --> 00:22:19.160
Obviously there's a fake modifier that you get

00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:21.759
for our attacks then remember I made their backstory

00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:24.539
that they were literally a tavern brawler and

00:22:24.539 --> 00:22:28.000
the tavern brawler free Gives you a d4 for every

00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:30.920
honor attack. So just because of that Marcus

00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:33.039
is gonna get a nice little boon to their damage.

00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:39.720
Let's do this thing That's a miss I Rolled a

00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:45.539
three and a two. Yeah, same here Sliding in two

00:22:45.539 --> 00:22:47.740
fists that go out and Diva just Weaves around

00:22:47.740 --> 00:22:52.619
just this dancer's grace. I can't. Damn it. Can't

00:22:52.619 --> 00:22:56.579
get in. Okay. Margus is there. Perhaps another

00:22:56.579 --> 00:22:59.859
target isn't just going to be Jules up in the

00:22:59.859 --> 00:23:03.380
shit. Margus, block. I need a little bit of time.

00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:06.819
Duergar moving in. One is charging the stage.

00:23:06.940 --> 00:23:09.279
One is actually going to come over and stand

00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:13.740
in front of DiPiero. And by you, Blanche, basically

00:23:13.740 --> 00:23:15.799
taking a defensive position in case Diva Luma

00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:18.000
tries to move. The first duergar, the one that's

00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:21.039
closer, runs up, slides onto the stage, comes

00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:22.559
in with another war pick. I'm going to attack

00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:24.720
on Diva Luma. You guys have reinforcements here.

00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:28.140
That's the one nice thing. Yeah, exactly. That's

00:23:28.140 --> 00:23:30.299
a five on the die. Your reinforcements suck.

00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:33.339
Duergar misses. Again, she just weaves down.

00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:35.920
Dude, Diva Luma is proving herself to be the

00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:37.980
badass I know she is as she just dodges every

00:23:37.980 --> 00:23:42.769
single attack. Just... Brutal. The duergar are

00:23:42.769 --> 00:23:44.329
up, though, which does mean that downstairs,

00:23:44.730 --> 00:23:48.789
this guy's going to attack Jean again. Three

00:23:48.789 --> 00:23:51.609
on the die. Okay. Jean, he's ready. He parries

00:23:51.609 --> 00:23:55.509
it. We're good to go. And as he parries that

00:23:55.509 --> 00:23:57.829
attack, the camera sort of pans around to his

00:23:57.829 --> 00:24:00.869
features, fierce and strong, because it's Jean

00:24:00.869 --> 00:24:02.849
Franklin's turn. All right. Now, let me talk

00:24:02.849 --> 00:24:05.609
to you real quick about this turn, Blanche. This

00:24:05.609 --> 00:24:08.349
is kind of an important fight. Jean stands in

00:24:08.349 --> 00:24:10.609
this place. He has someone he wants to protect.

00:24:11.390 --> 00:24:15.289
And you know he's been feeling like a failure

00:24:15.289 --> 00:24:17.549
lately. He's been feeling all these sort of great,

00:24:17.589 --> 00:24:20.450
like, losses that he feels he's had just sort

00:24:20.450 --> 00:24:23.589
of mounting up on him. Steven Rodriguez, can

00:24:23.589 --> 00:24:25.309
you deliver us a rare John Franklin win here?

00:24:25.609 --> 00:24:29.950
Can he protect himself, his friend, everyone

00:24:29.950 --> 00:24:33.130
here? That's up to you. Yeah, I'm going to try.

00:24:33.710 --> 00:24:35.390
Hell yeah. I mean, this is interesting because,

00:24:35.470 --> 00:24:37.430
like, both of you have sidekicks that have stake

00:24:37.430 --> 00:24:40.720
in this fight. And how this goes, like their

00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:43.720
mentality, their very heart depends on your actions

00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:47.740
here. That's why I love sidekicks so much. All

00:24:47.740 --> 00:24:54.039
right. So it's hard because Jean doesn't know

00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:58.339
that, at least in some form, help is coming.

00:24:58.700 --> 00:25:03.259
But Steven does. I think what Jean's going to

00:25:03.259 --> 00:25:08.759
do for this turn is take the dodge action. Oh,

00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:10.720
that's actually fine. Yeah, he's in the doorway.

00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:13.980
Yeah. So he's blocking. That's really cool. Okay,

00:25:14.059 --> 00:25:17.519
he just brings a shield up and stands firm. He's

00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:20.099
going to hold the line as long as he can. Yep.

00:25:20.220 --> 00:25:22.579
That is really cool. I love seeing the dodge

00:25:22.579 --> 00:25:24.099
action get used. It doesn't happen a lot, but

00:25:24.099 --> 00:25:26.160
when it does, it's always honestly really cool.

00:25:26.299 --> 00:25:30.140
Right? Hell yeah. Okay. All right. So Jaune knows

00:25:30.140 --> 00:25:32.079
he's the bulwark here. Someone's going to hold

00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:34.690
this spot. He can protect the people he needs

00:25:34.690 --> 00:25:36.549
to protect. Exactly. I had thought about using

00:25:36.549 --> 00:25:40.049
shell defense, but it comes with too many negatives.

00:25:40.650 --> 00:25:44.950
Yeah. Like, he'd need to use a bonus action to

00:25:44.950 --> 00:25:48.170
emerge from his shell and everything. So, I mean,

00:25:48.289 --> 00:25:51.210
because dodge gives him advantage, right, on

00:25:51.210 --> 00:25:54.609
blocks? It gives me disadvantage on every attack.

00:25:54.690 --> 00:25:56.710
Well, right, exactly, yeah. So it's like plus

00:25:56.710 --> 00:25:59.650
four to AC or disadvantage on attacks. I think

00:25:59.650 --> 00:26:02.410
I'll take that for now without having the...

00:26:03.019 --> 00:26:05.400
the negative effects of shell defense. Yeah,

00:26:05.460 --> 00:26:09.259
I love it. I absolutely love it. Sweet. Jaune

00:26:09.259 --> 00:26:14.839
stands his ground. Super cool. Super cool. That

00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:19.200
is going to be DiPiero and Ledoux. Ledoux obviously

00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:22.839
stays put, does not move. DiPiero looks to you,

00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.799
Master Defense. Master Defense, how can I help?

00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:31.279
What is this madness? Stay behind me. I'm going

00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:35.109
to check on Jaune. Then I'll be back to take

00:26:35.109 --> 00:26:38.369
care of this. Check on Jaune. I think that's

00:26:38.369 --> 00:26:40.849
like as far as he gets before you start to, maybe

00:26:40.849 --> 00:26:43.549
you're already kind of fading in. She like wargs

00:26:43.549 --> 00:26:47.029
into Turbo. Yeah. You just hear him kind of like,

00:26:47.029 --> 00:26:48.930
what happened to Jaune? And you're already gone.

00:26:49.190 --> 00:26:51.349
He moves up behind you, staying right behind

00:26:51.349 --> 00:26:54.230
your shell, taking up a spot, fully trusting

00:26:54.230 --> 00:26:59.609
his master defense. All right. Okay. Following

00:26:59.609 --> 00:27:03.079
that, it's going to be you, Jules. Jules will

00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:07.779
pull out his rapier. Oh, yeah. Wait, does Turbo

00:27:07.779 --> 00:27:10.779
get any movement during Blanche's turn? Because

00:27:10.779 --> 00:27:14.420
it's an action to go into Turbo. I believe you

00:27:14.420 --> 00:27:19.380
would, yeah. Okay. Is there any way that... How

00:27:19.380 --> 00:27:22.740
long is Jaune's spear? Jaune's spear is about

00:27:22.740 --> 00:27:25.160
five feet long, I imagine. Okay, never mind.

00:27:25.740 --> 00:27:27.200
I'm going to need to wait until next turn and

00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:30.559
use Mage Hand then. I was just going to knock

00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.170
it over, but... Okay. Well, you're warging, but

00:27:33.170 --> 00:27:36.950
it's actually... Oh, I thought Jules had already

00:27:36.950 --> 00:27:38.690
gone, so I was like, wait, why isn't it my turn?

00:27:38.890 --> 00:27:41.109
Nah, he went as far as getting his butt kicked

00:27:41.109 --> 00:27:48.690
by me. Yeah. So he pulls out his rapier. My foot

00:27:48.690 --> 00:27:52.650
joke was funny. Come on, you gotta come to your

00:27:52.650 --> 00:27:55.589
senses. We don't want to do this. And he's gonna

00:27:55.589 --> 00:28:00.349
strike her. Okay. Whoa. That's not gonna hit

00:28:00.349 --> 00:28:03.509
with a seven. Nope, it will not. And then as

00:28:03.509 --> 00:28:05.470
bonus action, Jules is going to misty step over

00:28:05.470 --> 00:28:09.109
to Blanche and Chester. Oh, shit. Okay. Hell

00:28:09.109 --> 00:28:10.990
yeah. All right, so there's, like, everyone sort

00:28:10.990 --> 00:28:13.150
of down on the south side of the room now. Only

00:28:13.150 --> 00:28:16.390
Margus and the Duergar stand on the stage. This

00:28:16.390 --> 00:28:20.789
is getting hot. What's so fun is, like, I don't

00:28:20.789 --> 00:28:23.190
think Blanche told anybody fully that Jon's in

00:28:23.190 --> 00:28:25.250
danger. So Jules and Chester are kind of, like,

00:28:25.309 --> 00:28:27.839
surrounding Blanche. And then Blanche is going

00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:29.559
to, like, vanish. Well, Blanche doesn't know

00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:31.500
that Jean's in danger. She's just going into

00:28:31.500 --> 00:28:33.200
Turbo to check on him. No, you were watching

00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:34.900
that whole scene last time. Oh, right, right,

00:28:34.900 --> 00:28:37.640
right. And you popped out, and you saw all this

00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:41.160
go down, and you're like, fuck. Okay, then she

00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:43.960
would have said something like, Jean's in trouble.

00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:46.039
I'm going to help him. I'll be right back. Yeah,

00:28:46.700 --> 00:28:48.200
you say that. You scream that out. And actually,

00:28:48.259 --> 00:28:49.700
you can scream it out because it's your turn.

00:28:49.859 --> 00:28:51.839
Actually, wait. You missed it. What are you else

00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:53.480
going to do? Sorry. No, that's it. That's it?

00:28:53.619 --> 00:28:55.720
Okay. Yeah. All right. That is a bonus action.

00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:57.259
You do have an action spell. No, you attack.

00:28:57.279 --> 00:28:59.700
I took my action. I attacked. I'm a doofus. I'm

00:28:59.700 --> 00:29:03.480
dumb. Blanche. Okay. Blanche is going to use

00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:07.900
her action to see through Turbo's eyes. You leave

00:29:07.900 --> 00:29:10.720
the chaos upstairs behind. And you are about

00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:13.259
like 20 to 30 feet down below where you are now

00:29:13.259 --> 00:29:17.299
in this cellar room. Just seeing everything from

00:29:17.299 --> 00:29:19.460
here now. Yeah, really the only thing she can

00:29:19.460 --> 00:29:22.279
do aside from that. So I'll say maybe even before

00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:25.259
she... She went into turbo. She used her bonus

00:29:25.259 --> 00:29:30.339
action to enter Bladesong. You actually used

00:29:30.339 --> 00:29:32.460
that. You already did it last time. Oh, that's

00:29:32.460 --> 00:29:33.880
right. Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, because I think

00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:36.880
we ended last episode with, like, oh, yeah, Blanche

00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:40.099
is going to, like, run and enter Bladesong. Yeah.

00:29:40.420 --> 00:29:42.220
Right. And then you realize that it might be

00:29:42.220 --> 00:29:44.180
hard to get there and there are other ways to

00:29:44.180 --> 00:29:47.220
handle this in the moment. But you are in Bladesong.

00:29:47.500 --> 00:29:51.500
But just for cool, do the effect right now. Thanks,

00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:54.599
Jeremy. Man, that was so cool. I already inserted

00:29:54.599 --> 00:29:56.019
that when he said Blade Song the first time.

00:29:56.380 --> 00:29:58.900
Oh, man. No, he did it twice? No, I don't think

00:29:58.900 --> 00:30:00.200
he did it twice. He just looked like an idiot.

00:30:00.380 --> 00:30:03.759
Shit. All right, do a mail time right here. No,

00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:05.640
there's no mail, though. Damn it. Don't got mail.

00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:11.339
All right. That is the end of Blanche's pathetic

00:30:11.339 --> 00:30:15.180
little turn. Oh, no. So sad. You pop in. You

00:30:15.180 --> 00:30:17.500
see Jean holding the line. Already has one sort

00:30:17.500 --> 00:30:19.640
of fresh gash, sort of right in, sort of a nick

00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:23.279
on his shoulder. Okay. And Turbo is right by

00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:27.599
the spear, correct? Turbo is basically five feet

00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:30.039
away from the spear. Turbo's on the ceiling in

00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:31.819
the corner. The spear is like the five foot square

00:30:31.819 --> 00:30:33.900
below where you are, south of where you are.

00:30:33.980 --> 00:30:35.460
That's fine, so I'm not going to use any movement

00:30:35.460 --> 00:30:39.019
to get over to it. Hell yeah. With that, we have

00:30:39.019 --> 00:30:41.240
one more turn for this very long -ass first round.

00:30:41.460 --> 00:30:43.680
It's going to be a long fight, gentlemen. Before

00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:46.019
we finish this turn, or I start this turn, I

00:30:46.019 --> 00:30:48.359
have to go on kind of a weird tangent here. A

00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:50.670
remembrance, if you will, of campaigns. past.

00:30:50.730 --> 00:30:51.869
This is going to seem really weird, but stick

00:30:51.869 --> 00:30:53.710
with me. All right. All right. Yeah, it's pretty

00:30:53.710 --> 00:30:56.289
weird. Yeah. Once upon a time, you two stood

00:30:56.289 --> 00:30:59.990
in the town of Caradineval in Icewind Dale. I

00:30:59.990 --> 00:31:02.029
know, I told you it's weird. Battling against

00:31:02.029 --> 00:31:03.849
an army of awakened beasts under the control

00:31:03.849 --> 00:31:06.990
of the druid Sephe Kastro. At this point, you'd

00:31:06.990 --> 00:31:08.930
already destroyed his human body, and he lived

00:31:08.930 --> 00:31:11.049
on in the form of an enormous, ferocious, like,

00:31:11.049 --> 00:31:12.549
white moose. You remember all this? It was cool.

00:31:12.670 --> 00:31:14.130
Yeah, yeah, I do remember this. Yeah. Fuck that

00:31:14.130 --> 00:31:16.549
guy. That guy was gunning for you, Jeremy. You

00:31:16.549 --> 00:31:21.430
and the adult Mexican Muddlehopper, your prior

00:31:21.430 --> 00:31:25.049
Echo Knight fighter. Like, I wanted you dead.

00:31:25.269 --> 00:31:27.250
You were standing there, holding line against

00:31:27.250 --> 00:31:29.509
this overwhelming force. And I always went through

00:31:29.509 --> 00:31:31.329
damage to you. I think I just did. I did an antler

00:31:31.329 --> 00:31:34.069
strike on you. Doing enough damage that I knew

00:31:34.069 --> 00:31:37.569
you were unconscious, and therefore prone. And

00:31:37.569 --> 00:31:39.450
I knew when you were prone, I would get a second

00:31:39.450 --> 00:31:41.390
attack as a bonus action to trample your prone

00:31:41.390 --> 00:31:44.829
body, which was almost certain to kill you. It

00:31:44.829 --> 00:31:49.190
was a set thing. It was a scary moment. But I

00:31:49.190 --> 00:31:51.190
didn't get to do that. I didn't get to get that

00:31:51.190 --> 00:31:53.029
second attack because you didn't go prone, because

00:31:53.029 --> 00:31:56.569
you didn't go unconscious despite the fact that

00:31:56.569 --> 00:31:58.950
you should have. And I'm asking you right now,

00:31:58.990 --> 00:32:02.970
Jeremy, do you remember why? I don't. You don't?

00:32:02.970 --> 00:32:04.930
Do you remember, Steven? No. You look at me like

00:32:04.930 --> 00:32:08.029
you do. No, no. It was a racial feat of yours,

00:32:08.069 --> 00:32:12.730
actually. Okay. called Orcish Ferocity. Okay.

00:32:12.789 --> 00:32:14.730
That means that when you take damage that should

00:32:14.730 --> 00:32:17.890
drop you below zero, you obtain one HP. First

00:32:17.890 --> 00:32:19.430
time ever happened in the campaign. That surprised

00:32:19.430 --> 00:32:21.910
me, shocked me. Anyway, here in this moment,

00:32:21.970 --> 00:32:27.509
on the floor of the cellar, Xenia Ruba snaps

00:32:27.509 --> 00:32:30.329
awake. Whoa. We talked before about how every

00:32:30.329 --> 00:32:32.730
living thing in D &D is a little bit Wolverine.

00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:34.960
While half orcs have an interesting biological

00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:38.220
feature. When they face death, when their strongest

00:32:38.220 --> 00:32:40.819
emotions pour through their bodies, they become

00:32:40.819 --> 00:32:43.920
like 5 % more Wolverine for an instant. Just

00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:46.920
long enough for the vital parts of the wound

00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:50.380
through Xenia's chest to close, leaving her alive

00:32:50.380 --> 00:32:54.420
and at 1 HP. Still shackled, still injured, still

00:32:54.420 --> 00:32:57.700
in absolute peril, but alive just for the moment.

00:32:57.740 --> 00:33:00.039
I did not plan this. I realized this between

00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:01.859
sessions because I was thinking about that fight.

00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:03.559
I don't know why I came to it and I was like,

00:33:03.619 --> 00:33:07.400
wait, Xenia Rube is a half orc. Why not? Which

00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:12.200
is good, but there is pressure now because as

00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:14.940
she snaps awake, Jaune's eyes sort of catch that.

00:33:15.579 --> 00:33:21.579
He wants to protect everyone if he can. She can't

00:33:21.579 --> 00:33:26.130
really fight. She's just kind of... Just breathing

00:33:26.130 --> 00:33:28.750
hard against the floor, looking around with wide

00:33:28.750 --> 00:33:31.150
eyes. Doesn't understand what is happening. Why

00:33:31.150 --> 00:33:34.529
is she in so much pain? What happened? The duergar

00:33:34.529 --> 00:33:37.069
don't seem to notice yet, though. They are focused

00:33:37.069 --> 00:33:41.430
on their prize before them. The rage has them

00:33:41.430 --> 00:33:45.809
honed in on Jaune. And that, gentlemen, is the

00:33:45.809 --> 00:33:48.170
end of round one. I have no idea what I'm going

00:33:48.170 --> 00:33:49.589
to do about that, by the way. Oh, wait. No, it's

00:33:49.589 --> 00:33:51.589
not. Because I'm going to use a legendary action

00:33:51.589 --> 00:33:53.630
before I end this round. Great. Cool. Fun. With

00:33:53.630 --> 00:33:57.259
D. Valuma. I love this. Yo, this is going to

00:33:57.259 --> 00:34:03.180
be fun. 10 -foot cube, 10 -foot cube. Oh, man.

00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:06.220
Let me see. Uh -oh. Okay, cool. That means I

00:34:06.220 --> 00:34:08.639
can use it upon where I am standing and not take

00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:10.599
damage because it's a creature of my choice.

00:34:10.980 --> 00:34:13.280
I told you already, or I mentioned last time,

00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:15.840
D .Va Loom is very skilled with pyrotechnics,

00:34:15.940 --> 00:34:19.099
and they're not just on the stage, baby. They

00:34:19.099 --> 00:34:21.320
are everywhere. As she suddenly whirls around

00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:23.599
towards the... Suddenly the two people she was

00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:26.500
facing vanish in mist. They're gone. But she

00:34:26.500 --> 00:34:31.440
looks to the two others around her. Margus, Ruba,

00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:35.820
and this duergar, this silent verse officer that

00:34:35.820 --> 00:34:38.539
stand. And she just does this sort of whirling

00:34:38.539 --> 00:34:42.340
like... Like laugh as she swirls around and like...

00:34:42.619 --> 00:34:46.480
some mechanism kind of up her sleeve of her dress

00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:50.119
releases this sort of burst of... What's the

00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:52.300
name of the step on this again? What? Don't ask

00:34:52.300 --> 00:34:54.139
me. What'd you say? Just this burst of light,

00:34:54.420 --> 00:34:57.300
just shining, shimmering, dazzling light that's

00:34:57.300 --> 00:34:59.280
almost like these little mini flash bomb explosions

00:34:59.280 --> 00:35:03.219
that blast in the eyes of these guys. And as

00:35:03.219 --> 00:35:04.559
she does this, it's almost like this sort of

00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:08.199
sparkling mist swirls around her. You see that

00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:11.380
she vanishes. Oh, no. And the two other people

00:35:11.380 --> 00:35:19.000
here... are going to take some damage. I just

00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:21.659
need, like, three rounds to, like, set up, and

00:35:21.659 --> 00:35:24.699
then we'll be cool. Okay. I'll be dead by then.

00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:27.760
I'll be dead by then. As this blast of lights

00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:31.780
hit them, and they kind of, like, the daze, their

00:35:31.780 --> 00:35:35.579
flash, Zdivaluma is effectively gone. Going to

00:35:35.579 --> 00:35:40.940
the GM layer. Oh, you mean right there? I'm kidding.

00:35:41.739 --> 00:35:44.480
No. I will say, you don't hear any movement from

00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:47.260
the stage. Probably she's in the same spot. But

00:35:47.260 --> 00:35:50.539
at the very least, that happened. Probably. Probably.

00:35:50.679 --> 00:35:55.300
Well, there is canonically a layer of powder

00:35:55.300 --> 00:35:59.679
on the stage. Yeah. I noticed that. But now I

00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:04.599
get to make my turn. Diva Luma is going to move.

00:36:05.099 --> 00:36:08.159
I'm going to keep the token invisible. I'm not

00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:10.139
hiding. So while I'm fully obscured, you know

00:36:10.139 --> 00:36:13.280
where she is. You can hear the steps as she runs

00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:15.239
across the floor. You can hear where she is.

00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:17.300
You can see how people are reacting to her. Unless

00:36:17.300 --> 00:36:20.519
I hide, that's not going to change. I would get

00:36:20.519 --> 00:36:22.840
a bonus to hiding, but that's not my goal. I'm

00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:25.739
in a ferocious mood here. I'm going to keep her

00:36:25.739 --> 00:36:27.380
on the field, but just remember that your attacks

00:36:27.380 --> 00:36:29.760
will have disadvantage on their two hit while

00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:35.079
she's invisible. She slides around behind Margus.

00:36:35.420 --> 00:36:36.820
Because I'm invisible, I'm going to take advantage.

00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:41.679
on my attacks. Now I'm really getting... Let's

00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:46.159
see what happens here. And just... They just

00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:57.059
feel like a blade sliding into them. Twice. Two

00:36:57.059 --> 00:37:00.000
hits. Two hits on Margus. Let's do some damage

00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:03.920
about it. We really needed Margus for like a

00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:06.550
couple turns. Three rounds? No, not literally

00:37:06.550 --> 00:37:15.150
three rounds. Margus had previously taken five

00:37:15.150 --> 00:37:18.150
damage from the sort of effect. Margus just took

00:37:18.150 --> 00:37:21.610
18 more damage from these two strikes. Not the

00:37:21.610 --> 00:37:23.530
best roll it could have been, but pretty good.

00:37:24.989 --> 00:37:28.449
Margus looks rough, but they are still up. Spinning

00:37:28.449 --> 00:37:33.800
around. Dude, Jules can't take any of that. No.

00:37:33.900 --> 00:37:39.219
Like, no. Yeah. This is a gnarly fight. That's

00:37:39.219 --> 00:37:43.780
going to be Chester. Oh, fuck. He's going to

00:37:43.780 --> 00:37:47.239
hit with a short ball again. Okay. This step

00:37:47.239 --> 00:37:51.380
block is so rude. It's only a 12. It's not going

00:37:51.380 --> 00:37:52.719
to hit, is it? Yeah, don't even bother rolling

00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:55.099
the disadvantage for invisibility. Oh, yeah.

00:37:55.539 --> 00:37:58.820
Hit. just tries, and like, what are you doing?

00:37:59.079 --> 00:38:01.320
Invisible force behind Margus, can't really get

00:38:01.320 --> 00:38:03.320
a beat on it, and Chester's just trying to be

00:38:03.320 --> 00:38:06.559
too hard to protect Margus. Bullet flies, or

00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:10.019
arrow flies too high, doesn't land. Jules being

00:38:10.019 --> 00:38:12.199
Jules, after he sees that, he's going to grab

00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:16.039
Chester and pull Chester behind him. Okay. Damn

00:38:16.039 --> 00:38:18.940
it, Jules, I can't get in on it. She's quick,

00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:20.579
and I can't see her. Don't worry, we'll get her.

00:38:20.679 --> 00:38:24.300
We'll get her. All right. Oh, wait. It wouldn't

00:38:24.300 --> 00:38:26.980
matter. because you missed the first one. Actually,

00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:28.840
she is visible now. I forgot. It lasts until

00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:30.539
the end of my next turn. I used the end of the

00:38:30.539 --> 00:38:32.380
round. I had it for basically that one attack,

00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:35.260
and my turn ended. So she actually fully appears

00:38:35.260 --> 00:38:37.179
after those first two hits. The bullet does fly

00:38:37.179 --> 00:38:39.039
too high, though. Again, she's interlocked with

00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:41.159
Margus, and Chester does not want to hurt Margus,

00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:43.860
so it goes a little too high. Okay. So I can't

00:38:43.860 --> 00:38:46.440
get a beat on. She's quick. Cool. Good wedge

00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:49.340
you almost had. But you can see her, which may

00:38:49.340 --> 00:38:52.639
be a big deal. All right. We're going downstairs

00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:55.079
again. I'm going to do the same thing as last

00:38:55.079 --> 00:38:57.400
time, two attacks on Jaune and a call to action.

00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:02.059
I have disadvantage in these attacks. You have

00:39:02.059 --> 00:39:07.179
disadvantage. First is a miss. Second is a...

00:39:07.179 --> 00:39:09.340
No, it's an 18 again. That missed, right? No,

00:39:09.420 --> 00:39:12.420
get out of here. All right, so Harlan tries two

00:39:12.420 --> 00:39:14.760
more blade swipes. His attacks are, like, strong.

00:39:16.219 --> 00:39:17.960
thing through the bars, this massive, like, clang,

00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:20.000
clang, ripping across and sparks flying off of

00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:23.179
him. He cannot get in on Jaune again. We'll kill

00:39:23.179 --> 00:39:27.579
him! And now I'm doing another free attack with

00:39:27.579 --> 00:39:32.760
Would You Believe It? in 18. No go. Just ping,

00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:35.380
ping. Another guy tries to move in. Jaune's at

00:39:35.380 --> 00:39:36.460
the ready. And besides, I have a disadvantage

00:39:36.460 --> 00:39:39.320
anyway on this guy, too. So, definitely couldn't

00:39:39.320 --> 00:39:41.840
hit. Like, yeah. Jaune is ready for this. He's

00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:46.090
holding that line. Okay. Pretty good. Pretty

00:39:46.090 --> 00:39:48.090
good. Might have to get mean soon. We'll see.

00:39:49.650 --> 00:39:52.969
Okay. Let's do a quick two attacks with Margus.

00:39:57.750 --> 00:40:02.030
Margus goes in with a rough sort of like, I think

00:40:02.030 --> 00:40:03.809
misses the first attack, you know, fist goes

00:40:03.809 --> 00:40:05.809
wide. And then as she sort of goes into kick

00:40:05.809 --> 00:40:08.670
again, they grab her leg, kind of like pulling

00:40:08.670 --> 00:40:11.349
the blade and just kind of one good solid sock

00:40:11.349 --> 00:40:15.039
in the face. Boom, punch. Nice. Yeah. Way to

00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:17.019
go, Margus. One hit. One hit there. A little

00:40:17.019 --> 00:40:19.500
bit of damage. Not the most, but it helps. Everything

00:40:19.500 --> 00:40:22.460
helps. That is the Duergar. I'll start with the

00:40:22.460 --> 00:40:24.960
ones up here. Honestly, the one that's kind of

00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:26.559
standing by you guys is going to move up and

00:40:26.559 --> 00:40:29.300
try to help out in the fight. Maybe he's going

00:40:29.300 --> 00:40:32.699
to flank? I think that would make some sense,

00:40:32.739 --> 00:40:34.820
wouldn't it? It would make some sense. All right.

00:40:34.840 --> 00:40:36.579
So, Jules, where do you stand? Duergar, I stand

00:40:36.579 --> 00:40:41.059
before you. No worries. Luminary. We silent verse

00:40:41.059 --> 00:40:43.039
will hold the line. This guy gets behind you,

00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:45.159
or gets in front of you, goes into strike with

00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:49.500
that plus two flanking bonus. That may have clinched

00:40:49.500 --> 00:40:56.920
the hit. It did. Okay. A solid hit, too. That's

00:40:56.920 --> 00:40:58.440
going to be a good eight points of damage on

00:40:58.440 --> 00:41:02.719
D .Va Luma. All right. As this war pick goes

00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:06.519
sliding, hits firm. I'm actually going to do

00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:08.639
a little thing. I forgot about this last time.

00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:12.750
I'll do it now. Weaves out of the way of the

00:41:12.750 --> 00:41:15.690
blow in a sort of uncanny kind of dodge sort

00:41:15.690 --> 00:41:17.869
of scenario. Only takes half damage from it.

00:41:18.530 --> 00:41:21.610
Yeah, I'm a gross, gross, gross man. So horrible.

00:41:22.170 --> 00:41:24.210
Yeah, and you know what? Let's have more fun.

00:41:24.269 --> 00:41:27.050
I'm going to use a legendary to do a stab on

00:41:27.050 --> 00:41:30.869
this guy. Yeah, I can do anything I want. I can

00:41:30.869 --> 00:41:35.469
do anything I want. And that is going to hit.

00:41:35.929 --> 00:41:39.360
What it must be like to be a supervillain. You

00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:40.519
know, I'm going to be like the set damage when

00:41:40.519 --> 00:41:42.159
I'm fighting NPCs. I'm going to roll 100 die

00:41:42.159 --> 00:41:44.800
because that's just too many die. Too many die

00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:47.139
are happening right now. Duergar takes a good

00:41:47.139 --> 00:41:51.500
solid legendary action kick. She tries to get

00:41:51.500 --> 00:41:55.539
in there. Pretty rough. Poison veins. You know

00:41:55.539 --> 00:41:58.260
the deal. That is. You know the deal. You know

00:41:58.260 --> 00:41:59.900
the deal. That's that Duergar. Other Duergar

00:41:59.900 --> 00:42:04.800
is going to move down and slide up beside Divaluma.

00:42:04.860 --> 00:42:07.760
They've got her three quarters surrounded. And.

00:42:08.940 --> 00:42:11.099
You have allies. You have allies for now. And

00:42:11.099 --> 00:42:16.619
that Noirgar actually crits. Oh, nice. I'll crit

00:42:16.619 --> 00:42:20.760
my pet. Everywhere. He said it. He said it. He

00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:23.559
said it. I'm feeling friendly today. Yeah, I

00:42:23.559 --> 00:42:26.139
said the thing. Jules from the distance. I smell

00:42:26.139 --> 00:42:32.039
crit. You smell crit, sir. All right. Unfortunately,

00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:34.699
there's one on the die and a three, so. Oh, my

00:42:34.699 --> 00:42:37.460
God. Only six points of damage. That was a pretty

00:42:37.460 --> 00:42:43.219
shitty crit. You'll tell me. Oh, this sucks.

00:42:43.900 --> 00:42:47.099
Hey, that's a little damage. One more duergar.

00:42:47.840 --> 00:42:51.139
Downstairs, attacking Jean. Wait, I thought you

00:42:51.139 --> 00:42:53.199
already did that guy. No, I did my reaction crit

00:42:53.199 --> 00:42:56.280
from Harlan. Harlan can command that. It's pretty

00:42:56.280 --> 00:42:59.400
gross. He misses with disadvantage still. Nice.

00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:01.880
All right, great. That's it. Blades are sliding

00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:04.760
off field as Jaune is holding the line. Honor

00:43:04.760 --> 00:43:07.300
preserved, baby. And that's going to be Jaune.

00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:11.239
All right. Both Jaune and Steven are going to

00:43:11.239 --> 00:43:15.019
simultaneously remember the Ring of Spell story.

00:43:17.980 --> 00:43:22.960
And Jaune is going to use it to cast Phantasmal

00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:27.179
Force. I think. There's, like, a lot of text

00:43:27.179 --> 00:43:30.750
here. Okay. Have you read through, do you? No.

00:43:31.110 --> 00:43:33.789
Okay. I don't know what that does. Honestly,

00:43:33.909 --> 00:43:35.809
why don't you pause the recording for like a

00:43:35.809 --> 00:43:37.670
minute so we can talk about this. Let's do this.

00:43:37.710 --> 00:43:40.969
Let's do this. See you guys. Bye. All right.

00:43:41.010 --> 00:43:42.429
So we do our reading. I like to think in this

00:43:42.429 --> 00:43:44.210
sort of time as John's dodging, he's sitting

00:43:44.210 --> 00:43:45.769
there, he's trying to think of the exact right

00:43:45.769 --> 00:43:48.469
move to make here. He's, he's taking the stance

00:43:48.469 --> 00:43:50.170
and like, and like really considering all the

00:43:50.170 --> 00:43:53.309
options, trying to think like Blanche. What would

00:43:53.309 --> 00:43:55.150
Blanche do? What would Blanche do? Control the

00:43:55.150 --> 00:43:58.510
field. Control the current of the battle. Where

00:43:58.510 --> 00:44:01.150
is it? Where is the control? And then he realizes.

00:44:01.269 --> 00:44:04.610
What are you going to do, Steven? Jon is going

00:44:04.610 --> 00:44:09.110
to cast Phantasmal Force, and the phantasm that

00:44:09.110 --> 00:44:13.710
he's going to make bear in the cell with him

00:44:13.710 --> 00:44:20.719
and Ledoux is the pig man. What? Oh. The scariest,

00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:24.539
most threatening thing that Jaune can think of.

00:44:24.639 --> 00:44:26.400
One weird thing about this, right? I've got to

00:44:26.400 --> 00:44:29.179
figure this out. So I guess it doesn't matter.

00:44:29.300 --> 00:44:30.260
I mean, they're seeing what they're going to

00:44:30.260 --> 00:44:33.280
see, right? Right. The pig man is the size of

00:44:33.280 --> 00:44:37.360
the cell. Yeah. Pig man's huge. Yeah. Well, there

00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:40.619
you go. Holy crap. That means if, like, it pushes

00:44:40.619 --> 00:44:42.780
Jaune back into the corner and he's completely

00:44:42.780 --> 00:44:46.000
hidden, right? This is interesting. Okay, so

00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:48.780
they're going to see the pig man. Well, if they

00:44:48.780 --> 00:44:52.519
fail the intelligence saving throw. Okay. And

00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:55.659
Harlan is the target here, to be clear. It's

00:44:55.659 --> 00:44:57.619
a single target spell. So there's Harlan and

00:44:57.619 --> 00:45:00.940
the other Dwargar down here. Okay. Harlan is

00:45:00.940 --> 00:45:03.539
the one you are targeting. I'm getting the actual

00:45:03.539 --> 00:45:05.460
token ready. You're getting the token out. There's

00:45:05.460 --> 00:45:07.239
the big man once again. Didn't think I'd see

00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:09.900
this guy again. Didn't think we'd ever see this

00:45:09.900 --> 00:45:13.280
guy again. Is there sound? Or just a picture?

00:45:13.519 --> 00:45:20.590
No, it's sound as well. Who's back? All right.

00:45:22.130 --> 00:45:25.989
Harlan, maybe perhaps a pig man fan. Nope, I

00:45:25.989 --> 00:45:28.989
was wrong. Sorry. All right. It doesn't happen.

00:45:29.130 --> 00:45:31.869
That was still fun. That was still fun. Again,

00:45:32.449 --> 00:45:36.170
you have to make the save first. It's a phantasmal

00:45:36.170 --> 00:45:38.809
object, creature, or other visible phenomenon

00:45:38.809 --> 00:45:43.550
of your choice. Okay. I mean, we just stopped

00:45:43.550 --> 00:45:45.170
to read it, and we didn't do a very good job.

00:45:45.550 --> 00:45:48.329
The phantasm includes sound, temperature, and

00:45:48.329 --> 00:45:51.389
other stimuli, also evident only to the creature.

00:45:51.610 --> 00:45:54.110
Make the save first. We're doing a lot of explanation.

00:45:54.429 --> 00:45:56.369
Okay, all right. It might be for naught. Judges

00:45:56.369 --> 00:45:58.389
advantage in this body, perhaps. And let's say

00:45:58.389 --> 00:46:01.829
right now it's a DC 13, is what Mesmerize is

00:46:01.829 --> 00:46:04.829
working with. You're using Mesmerize. A 13? 13.

00:46:05.170 --> 00:46:08.710
Jeez. Oh, my God. This is almost worth two buttons.

00:46:08.909 --> 00:46:12.250
You fought her a long time ago. Does he take

00:46:12.250 --> 00:46:14.829
any hit to his intelligence because he's under

00:46:14.829 --> 00:46:19.230
the control of that? No, well, he has to fail

00:46:19.230 --> 00:46:21.650
the save first, and then he's under, yeah. It's

00:46:21.650 --> 00:46:23.170
not going to work. Well, no, because of the poison,

00:46:23.230 --> 00:46:25.289
I actually do like where you're going with that.

00:46:25.289 --> 00:46:27.050
Oh, under control of, oh, the maddening poison.

00:46:27.050 --> 00:46:29.510
I do like where you're going with that. I'm going

00:46:29.510 --> 00:46:32.750
to say yes. I like that a lot. I have to imagine

00:46:32.750 --> 00:46:35.369
Harlan is pretty intelligent as fuck. Right.

00:46:35.949 --> 00:46:39.360
Under this, though. Is this a real, like, condition?

00:46:39.619 --> 00:46:42.900
Is this in the book? Does it have any? It's in

00:46:42.900 --> 00:46:45.679
the book and changed from the book. Okay. But,

00:46:45.739 --> 00:46:47.900
I mean, for the most part, I am in, like, this

00:46:47.900 --> 00:46:50.159
locked state of I have to, like, I have to kill

00:46:50.159 --> 00:46:52.980
anything around me. Right. If this is going to

00:46:52.980 --> 00:46:55.619
look and feel like a person, I don't think Harlan's

00:46:55.619 --> 00:46:57.980
in the mindset to be able to easily distinguish

00:46:57.980 --> 00:47:01.260
it. I think it makes sense. And my home -brewed

00:47:01.260 --> 00:47:04.880
poison for an effect like this may actually get

00:47:04.880 --> 00:47:06.980
this advantage. I think it makes sense. That's

00:47:06.980 --> 00:47:09.719
fair. It is pretty powerful. It's really cool.

00:47:09.820 --> 00:47:11.739
You only get one of these. These spells, once

00:47:11.739 --> 00:47:13.960
you use them, they're gone. So you blow one of

00:47:13.960 --> 00:47:17.119
your two Mesmerize spells in this ring. The pig

00:47:17.119 --> 00:47:23.480
man lands in this stage. Harlan, eyes go like,

00:47:23.500 --> 00:47:27.360
raging out, wide, bulging. Let's do the save

00:47:27.360 --> 00:47:33.440
with disadvantage. Come on. He goes striking

00:47:33.440 --> 00:47:36.469
at the pig man. Nice. I think maybe for a second

00:47:36.469 --> 00:47:39.550
Harlan perked up for a second as he heard Xenia

00:47:39.550 --> 00:47:41.670
finally call onto that. Can't get through to

00:47:41.670 --> 00:47:44.590
Jaune. And then that twitching muscle turns around.

00:47:44.690 --> 00:47:47.550
His face begins to turn around towards Xenia,

00:47:47.630 --> 00:47:50.510
who's on the floor writhing with her shackles.

00:47:51.130 --> 00:47:53.969
And just going to turn, boom, the pig man is

00:47:53.969 --> 00:47:57.150
there. Jaune found a way to save everyone as

00:47:57.150 --> 00:47:59.329
Harlan spins around and goes striking out his,

00:47:59.389 --> 00:48:01.269
you know, let's see what happens. Let's see what

00:48:01.269 --> 00:48:03.869
happens. And it says each round on your turn,

00:48:03.949 --> 00:48:06.409
the phantasm can deal 1d6 psychic damage to the

00:48:06.409 --> 00:48:09.030
target. Oh, I love that. That's the coolest thing.

00:48:09.090 --> 00:48:11.150
Yeah, this is cool. This is really cool. So does

00:48:11.150 --> 00:48:13.590
that count on the first turn? It doesn't say

00:48:13.590 --> 00:48:16.969
after. Each round on your turn. On your turn.

00:48:17.090 --> 00:48:20.670
Oh, boy. Is it starting your next turn? I think

00:48:20.670 --> 00:48:22.690
so, yeah. Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. I think

00:48:22.690 --> 00:48:27.030
you're right. Pigman does four psychic damage

00:48:27.030 --> 00:48:31.190
to Harlan. That's amazing. Nice. You know what?

00:48:31.289 --> 00:48:32.690
I'm going to do something really fun about this,

00:48:32.710 --> 00:48:36.539
actually. Yeah, okay. I like this a lot. So currently

00:48:36.539 --> 00:48:39.679
for Harlan, this entire cell is just full of

00:48:39.679 --> 00:48:41.639
the pig man. The turtle's kind of like vanishing

00:48:41.639 --> 00:48:43.519
sort of behind him. The pig man's sort of squeezing

00:48:43.519 --> 00:48:46.519
in the cell and maybe like reaches out and does

00:48:46.519 --> 00:48:51.900
like a sort of sumo pig slap. Pork chop. He eats

00:48:51.900 --> 00:48:55.039
him with a pork chop. With a pork chop. Bounces

00:48:55.039 --> 00:48:56.519
back so he actually got hit. Takes a little bit

00:48:56.519 --> 00:48:58.239
of damage from it. Sort of shakes it out of his

00:48:58.239 --> 00:49:01.039
head and looks back at him. And you see he's

00:49:01.039 --> 00:49:03.119
about to do something because I want to have

00:49:03.119 --> 00:49:06.250
fun here. I hope it's not an AOE. All right.

00:49:06.289 --> 00:49:08.710
That's Jaune. Ledoux and DiPiero are going to

00:49:08.710 --> 00:49:10.309
stay put because I want to keep moving them around.

00:49:10.550 --> 00:49:14.469
They are in protected places. They're good. Just

00:49:14.469 --> 00:49:17.869
looking on towards their guardians. Just eyes

00:49:17.869 --> 00:49:22.389
full of hope. Jules, it's you. Okay. First, Jules

00:49:22.389 --> 00:49:24.250
is going to use a bonus action to get Spartic

00:49:24.250 --> 00:49:30.349
Inspiration onto Blanche. Nice. The D8. And Jules

00:49:30.349 --> 00:49:34.219
will move to the other side of Chester. And then

00:49:34.219 --> 00:49:40.300
he will cast level two blindness deafness. Whoa.

00:49:41.000 --> 00:49:46.539
On to Diva Luma. It's a con save. Oh, man. That's

00:49:46.539 --> 00:49:49.199
pretty gross. That's a surprise face. That's

00:49:49.199 --> 00:49:52.559
pretty gross. It's a con save, huh? Correct.

00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:54.780
All right. It's not the worst. It's not the worst.

00:49:55.000 --> 00:49:56.980
Oh, yeah. Diva Luma, I bet she's got a decent

00:49:56.980 --> 00:49:59.480
con, yeah. Yeah, probably. I have other things

00:49:59.480 --> 00:50:05.559
up my belt as well. Diva Luma is mean. I don't

00:50:05.559 --> 00:50:09.320
know if this passes or not. Oh, I have to choose,

00:50:09.360 --> 00:50:11.119
so I failed the throw, I get to do this. Okay,

00:50:11.159 --> 00:50:15.079
so will A. 13 would fail, I'm imagining, right?

00:50:15.159 --> 00:50:18.239
13 fails. Okay. You've got something else up

00:50:18.239 --> 00:50:19.760
your sleeve here. Yeah, he does. So I'm going

00:50:19.760 --> 00:50:22.300
to use my legendary resistance. You fucking Christ.

00:50:22.519 --> 00:50:30.639
Boss monster. You. Deepaluma's not fucking around.

00:50:32.539 --> 00:50:34.219
That's a good, no, but you blew it. You burned

00:50:34.219 --> 00:50:36.840
that legendary. D .Va just sees this sort of,

00:50:36.840 --> 00:50:38.820
her eyes are getting covered over, and she's

00:50:38.820 --> 00:50:41.559
sort of like, like rages out, and you kind of

00:50:41.559 --> 00:50:43.579
see like almost, like she just grits her teeth,

00:50:43.659 --> 00:50:46.900
and the spell just seems to slide off of her.

00:50:47.000 --> 00:50:49.900
This like, her every ounce of will pushing into

00:50:49.900 --> 00:50:53.539
her mind, her veins bulging, and she just rips

00:50:53.539 --> 00:50:57.079
this magic away. That was a good move, Jeremy.

00:50:57.139 --> 00:50:59.940
It was a good move. Thanks. Hey, burning those

00:50:59.940 --> 00:51:03.769
things, big deal. It's a big deal. oh boy hell

00:51:03.769 --> 00:51:07.869
yeah gentlemen and you guys want to do this round

00:51:07.869 --> 00:51:14.909
mr jeremy will no okay we're on to blanche that

00:51:14.909 --> 00:51:18.829
means we're on to turbo turbo snaps awake in

00:51:18.829 --> 00:51:21.230
the cell you see what's going on down here um

00:51:21.230 --> 00:51:23.789
you're up in the corner you are i'm gonna say

00:51:23.789 --> 00:51:25.210
like they don't know you're here you probably

00:51:25.210 --> 00:51:27.139
like set up kind of hiding. When you initially

00:51:27.139 --> 00:51:28.219
did this, they were kind of having this little

00:51:28.219 --> 00:51:31.260
argument about the curse of the heirs and whatever.

00:51:31.400 --> 00:51:33.179
So you managed to get Turbo kind of hiding up

00:51:33.179 --> 00:51:36.260
above a rafter in the shadows. The Dwargar are

00:51:36.260 --> 00:51:37.659
bad at their job. They didn't notice somehow.

00:51:37.980 --> 00:51:41.139
I don't care. It's fun. It's cool. You're up

00:51:41.139 --> 00:51:43.659
here. If you get noticed, things might get sour

00:51:43.659 --> 00:51:48.780
for old Turbo. Yeah. So what Turbo wants to do

00:51:48.780 --> 00:51:51.000
or what Blanche wants Turbo to do is really simple.

00:51:52.159 --> 00:51:55.960
Blanche wants to get Jean his spear. Using turbo

00:51:55.960 --> 00:51:58.440
so she can either do that with magic missile

00:51:58.440 --> 00:52:03.639
or I guess maybe try to do that with turbos movement

00:52:03.639 --> 00:52:07.739
I Think magic missile earth not magic missile.

00:52:07.780 --> 00:52:11.920
What am I saying? mage hand I was looking at

00:52:11.920 --> 00:52:14.239
magic missile when I meant to say mage hand.

00:52:14.340 --> 00:52:17.280
It makes sense. You're reaching down and you're

00:52:17.280 --> 00:52:18.880
shooting through the floor with your mage hand.

00:52:19.039 --> 00:52:20.960
You can make it appear and you can see. That's

00:52:20.960 --> 00:52:22.940
how we did the I'm off the door before. The old

00:52:22.940 --> 00:52:26.519
turbo trick. I love it. You're looking down at

00:52:26.519 --> 00:52:28.980
the turbo's eyes and within your range you're

00:52:28.980 --> 00:52:31.019
reaching down towards the floor and you're casting

00:52:31.019 --> 00:52:33.739
in this room below you as a spectral hand appears.

00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:36.920
What are you going to do? Just knock the spear

00:52:36.920 --> 00:52:39.760
over. Make it look like it's just getting knocked

00:52:39.760 --> 00:52:43.780
over, like in the fray. Hell yeah. The spear

00:52:43.780 --> 00:52:46.300
knocks down and I guess would be like leaning

00:52:46.300 --> 00:52:50.920
out towards Jean then, correct? Yes, I want Jean

00:52:50.920 --> 00:52:52.659
to be able to grab it. So tip the spear. lands

00:52:52.659 --> 00:52:54.519
down. It's 10 feet away from the cell. It lands

00:52:54.519 --> 00:52:57.119
about 5 feet out from the cell. But Jaune might

00:52:57.119 --> 00:52:58.639
be able to reach out and pull it by the tip.

00:52:58.760 --> 00:53:00.960
In fact, I'll give you this. As it falls, the

00:53:00.960 --> 00:53:03.679
banner sort of slides out towards him. This is

00:53:03.679 --> 00:53:05.099
a really cool move and you're losing your turn

00:53:05.099 --> 00:53:06.780
on this. So I think Jaune could reach out of

00:53:06.780 --> 00:53:09.460
the cell, pull it by the banner. The Golden Bay

00:53:09.460 --> 00:53:12.980
banner. His lifeline in this moment. I think

00:53:12.980 --> 00:53:17.440
as this happens, this moment of something enters

00:53:17.440 --> 00:53:20.840
Jaune's eyes. This gratitude. This sureness.

00:53:21.289 --> 00:53:24.610
I think he feels like somehow, somehow, you're

00:53:24.610 --> 00:53:26.989
watching out for him. Yeah. In fact, you know

00:53:26.989 --> 00:53:30.010
what? He can see Magic Missile. Mage Hand. Oh,

00:53:30.030 --> 00:53:32.090
sorry. He can see Mage Hand. Mage Hand is visible

00:53:32.090 --> 00:53:34.010
unless you have certain feats. So, like, he would

00:53:34.010 --> 00:53:36.250
see that kind of appear behind him. Nice. Dwargar,

00:53:36.329 --> 00:53:38.349
no. So he would see a flick over the spear. Hell

00:53:38.349 --> 00:53:41.190
yeah. It's so cool. He just smiles a little bit

00:53:41.190 --> 00:53:43.170
as he's getting ready to reach down and grab

00:53:43.170 --> 00:53:47.510
his weapon. Love it. Anything else? That is the

00:53:47.510 --> 00:53:51.739
end of Blanche's, again, pathetic turn. Xenia

00:53:51.739 --> 00:53:54.199
is just, I mean, she's in this point incapacitated.

00:53:54.199 --> 00:53:56.480
She's trying to fight against the shackles, not

00:53:56.480 --> 00:53:58.139
trying to, like, say anything, just sort of,

00:53:58.159 --> 00:53:59.900
like, trying to scoot as far as she can up against

00:53:59.900 --> 00:54:03.920
the wall, trying to get away from the carnage.

00:54:04.599 --> 00:54:07.099
Top of the round. Let's do a couple turns in

00:54:07.099 --> 00:54:09.280
this round, gentlemen. Trying to have some fun.

00:54:10.639 --> 00:54:15.099
First things first. Diva Luma's up. Diva, Diva,

00:54:15.119 --> 00:54:18.199
Diva. Who are we going to hit? We've at least

00:54:18.199 --> 00:54:20.829
got padding for the time being. Right. Let's

00:54:20.829 --> 00:54:23.250
go for Margus, my first hit. Margus looks pretty

00:54:23.250 --> 00:54:26.570
injured. D .Va likes to finish the job she starts.

00:54:27.170 --> 00:54:29.849
She turns towards them and just kicks out again.

00:54:30.050 --> 00:54:33.789
Poison Blade. Two on the die. It's going to miss.

00:54:33.969 --> 00:54:36.150
Margus, boom, parries the blade with a fist.

00:54:36.309 --> 00:54:38.889
You know, grabs the leg, throws it aside. This

00:54:38.889 --> 00:54:41.349
is brawling. This is what they know how to do.

00:54:42.050 --> 00:54:45.050
Okay, next attack's going to go, screw it, you

00:54:45.050 --> 00:54:49.889
know what, on Margus. No, that is a maybe. That

00:54:49.889 --> 00:54:53.989
is an exact hit. Oh, God. Margus. Unarmored.

00:54:53.989 --> 00:54:59.070
So, you know, it's one of those things. I have

00:54:59.070 --> 00:55:01.190
so many dice. Everyone has different damage dice,

00:55:01.269 --> 00:55:06.289
and it's making me very sad. Okay. The blade.

00:55:06.469 --> 00:55:09.489
Yo, cool. One gets parried, thrown around. But

00:55:09.489 --> 00:55:13.050
before Margus can even react, he even just spins.

00:55:13.760 --> 00:55:16.139
who drops one foot down. She's going to do a

00:55:16.139 --> 00:55:18.179
second kick. Another, maybe another bladed heel

00:55:18.179 --> 00:55:21.280
comes off the other foot in one swift motion.

00:55:21.400 --> 00:55:25.460
And the second blade catches Margus just slicing

00:55:25.460 --> 00:55:28.360
across their chest. Black Vein's coming into

00:55:28.360 --> 00:55:31.360
up here. And you see Margus's eyes sort of bulge.

00:55:31.360 --> 00:55:34.219
You see they roll back into the white and Margus

00:55:34.219 --> 00:55:39.719
falls unconscious and dying. But she does not

00:55:39.719 --> 00:55:44.329
step on their face. You are out of the podcast.

00:55:44.630 --> 00:55:49.769
Come on, man. Groan. One down. Divulma turns

00:55:49.769 --> 00:55:52.630
around to the duergar beyond them towards you.

00:55:52.750 --> 00:55:56.829
How long can you hold against her carnage? Chester,

00:55:56.909 --> 00:55:59.389
you're up. Chester? Yeah, he's going to do what

00:55:59.389 --> 00:56:03.289
he does. All right. All right. He ain't going

00:56:03.289 --> 00:56:06.690
to do shit with a natural one, though. Holy crap.

00:56:06.809 --> 00:56:10.250
That's not excellent. It's not excellent. Nope.

00:56:12.239 --> 00:56:14.179
I'm gonna use my Legendary Action now to end

00:56:14.179 --> 00:56:16.559
this with a bang. I'm gonna use Vanishing Escape

00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:19.480
again. Once again, he looks at you, spins around,

00:56:19.659 --> 00:56:24.840
boom, a sudden flash of light. The Duergar are

00:56:24.840 --> 00:56:29.099
gonna take some damage as this dazzling sort

00:56:29.099 --> 00:56:33.199
of pyrotechnous blade just rips into them. They

00:56:33.199 --> 00:56:36.260
both take... These are gonna look pretty bad

00:56:36.260 --> 00:56:40.400
right now as the... Lights sort of fade around

00:56:40.400 --> 00:56:43.000
them. They're wounded. They're sort of barely

00:56:43.000 --> 00:56:44.860
standing, still clutching their weapons, still

00:56:44.860 --> 00:56:50.539
holding strong. But Diva Luma is gone. Downstairs.

00:56:51.519 --> 00:56:56.079
In this moment, because this is fun, Harlan sees

00:56:56.079 --> 00:56:58.840
the pig man. Before him, we're seeing his peeve.

00:56:58.860 --> 00:57:02.719
He's like, hey, come on. Hop into the pig pen.

00:57:03.099 --> 00:57:07.840
Want a mud wrestle? Yeah! Into the trough. Just

00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:10.199
doing like all pig man things. And Harlan just.

00:57:13.559 --> 00:57:16.340
Xenia is prone. So I believe this is allowable.

00:57:16.559 --> 00:57:18.840
Turbo is up high enough. This should be fine.

00:57:19.480 --> 00:57:23.719
So Harlan actually turns to the Dwargar beside

00:57:23.719 --> 00:57:27.530
him. and just full shoves him. Honestly, I'm

00:57:27.530 --> 00:57:29.190
not even going to resist it because Dwargar is,

00:57:29.250 --> 00:57:31.070
like, I think even this Madden state understands

00:57:31.070 --> 00:57:33.650
that, like, Harlan is boss, you know? You know

00:57:33.650 --> 00:57:36.230
these things when they go mad. They attack, like,

00:57:36.269 --> 00:57:38.090
who they see as an enemy first and anyone else

00:57:38.090 --> 00:57:39.869
later. So there's a part of their consciousness

00:57:39.869 --> 00:57:42.409
that still remains. And, like, these prisoners,

00:57:42.510 --> 00:57:44.510
these people in the cell who they're guarding

00:57:44.510 --> 00:57:47.150
but who also were apparently, you know, committing

00:57:47.150 --> 00:57:49.190
some kind of crimes would be to these silent

00:57:49.190 --> 00:57:52.260
verse officers the enemy. where they wouldn't

00:57:52.260 --> 00:57:54.460
attack each other, not at least until the end.

00:57:54.940 --> 00:57:56.679
So the way this poison's worked before, it seems

00:57:56.679 --> 00:57:58.199
like they might kill each other, but not right

00:57:58.199 --> 00:58:00.800
now. In this moment, Harlan shoves the duergar

00:58:00.800 --> 00:58:03.599
out of the way. He goes kind of stepping backwards

00:58:03.599 --> 00:58:08.179
as Harlan turns towards the pig man. I'll show

00:58:08.179 --> 00:58:12.570
you. I'll show you, pig! And Harlan begins to

00:58:12.570 --> 00:58:17.489
grow. Oh, no. What? As he begins to grow and

00:58:17.489 --> 00:58:21.789
grow and suddenly towering before the cell is

00:58:21.789 --> 00:58:26.849
a 10 -foot dark dwarf who moves in to strike

00:58:26.849 --> 00:58:29.389
out. And we'll call it there.
