WEBVTT 00:00:01.399 --> 00:00:03.580 Hey, Pants people. I want to thank you guys so, 00:00:03.620 --> 00:00:05.500 so much for helping us build this beast into 00:00:05.500 --> 00:00:07.799 what it is today. Not only are we sitting here 00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:10.699 almost two years into this podcast, almost 100 00:00:10.699 --> 00:00:13.339 episodes. We're getting there. We're also just 00:00:13.339 --> 00:00:15.900 getting out there. We went to Mountain Mania 00:00:15.900 --> 00:00:18.320 recently, did a live show. We actually recently 00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:20.899 went to the Vermont Renaissance Fair. We have 00:00:20.899 --> 00:00:22.879 Nerd Out Nights at Reckless we're hosting. So 00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:24.800 we're getting out. We're meeting people. And 00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:26.339 we're really, really hoping to meet all of you. 00:00:26.379 --> 00:00:28.399 So if you want us to come out your way, go to 00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:31.199 these bigger expos and fairs and whatnot. whatnot 00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:34.079 across the country. I'm not saying it's impossible. 00:00:34.820 --> 00:00:37.759 If we get bigger, if you get our names out there, 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:39.539 we'll get out there. We'll meet you. We'll find 00:00:39.539 --> 00:00:41.399 all of you. We'll personally give you each a 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:46.479 hug. So please share us on social medias, Instagram, 00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:49.560 Facebook. I'm bad at that part. Thank you so 00:00:49.560 --> 00:01:34.450 much, guys. We love you. Mix, Masimo Aang and 00:01:34.450 --> 00:01:36.549 their family had been found off of the River 00:01:36.549 --> 00:01:39.030 of Gold, the road that leads between the Gemstone 00:01:39.030 --> 00:01:43.049 Plaza Anduari and the city of Zinda. Now we knew 00:01:43.049 --> 00:01:44.609 that Masimo Aang and their family had been on 00:01:44.609 --> 00:01:47.450 a trip off -world enjoying some time on Umizu, 00:01:47.450 --> 00:01:49.530 and that they were set to return to their home 00:01:49.530 --> 00:01:51.689 just in time to join the celebrations of the 00:01:51.689 --> 00:01:54.670 March of Vice. Well, it seems they did return 00:01:54.670 --> 00:01:57.069 in the earliest hours of the morning, boarding 00:01:57.069 --> 00:02:00.629 the Bastai Conquer Jewel at around 4 a .m. Sometime 00:02:00.629 --> 00:02:02.430 after that, they were seemingly assaulted on 00:02:02.430 --> 00:02:05.329 their way to the city. Murdered after being chased 00:02:05.329 --> 00:02:09.469 off of the road. And there's more, too. There's 00:02:09.469 --> 00:02:12.689 evidence that the family's own guards turned 00:02:12.689 --> 00:02:14.750 on them, cutting them down and then turning on 00:02:14.750 --> 00:02:17.509 each other. No one in their retinue left the 00:02:17.509 --> 00:02:21.189 scene alive. Now this is an unprecedented tragedy. 00:02:21.889 --> 00:02:24.449 With the continuing lockdown of the Grand Master's 00:02:24.449 --> 00:02:26.889 Palace, we are all left to wait and to wonder. 00:02:27.289 --> 00:02:36.319 What the hell is happening? Insane, duh. A single 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:40.699 pinch. Meticulously and maliciously measured. 00:02:41.180 --> 00:02:45.300 Like a proud chef seasoning a pot of boiling, 00:02:45.419 --> 00:02:49.300 savory stew. The work of a master artist, that 00:02:49.300 --> 00:02:53.659 single pinch. So seemingly benign, this pink 00:02:53.659 --> 00:02:57.259 powder. No scent, no taste. swirled in a wind 00:02:57.259 --> 00:03:01.259 virtually undetectable. It has a sound, though, 00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:05.780 strangely enough. A faint thing. As a single 00:03:05.780 --> 00:03:08.719 pinch is released, falling free into the tides 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:10.840 of fate, one might hear a sound like a distant, 00:03:10.979 --> 00:03:15.400 primal scream, carried far by a muffling wind. 00:03:15.860 --> 00:03:19.800 A single pinch to start off machinations years 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:23.120 in the making, released into the waiting feedback 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:26.949 of a prince's favored riding horse. perfect little 00:03:26.949 --> 00:03:29.849 accident. A single pinch set in the palm and 00:03:29.849 --> 00:03:32.469 blown gently into the faces of blood -letter 00:03:32.469 --> 00:03:35.729 protesters. A sudden rush towards the target 00:03:35.729 --> 00:03:37.650 of this display, a prince of coin attempting 00:03:37.650 --> 00:03:40.389 to ease the crowd with words wiser than his young 00:03:40.389 --> 00:03:44.650 age. His screams carried no such platitudes as 00:03:44.650 --> 00:03:48.900 they tore him apart. A single pinch blown again 00:03:48.900 --> 00:03:51.039 into the faces of approaching guards early in 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.199 the morning as they led their charge from the 00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.400 gemstone docking bay and towards the great city 00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.759 of Zinda. The look of surprise on Massimo Ane's 00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.039 face as their own men turned their weapons around 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.900 and charged. A pinch rubbed into a flank of lamb 00:04:05.900 --> 00:04:08.900 tossed into the waiting maw of the giant caiman 00:04:08.900 --> 00:04:12.780 Tikalosh. A failure, that, but a valiant attempt 00:04:12.780 --> 00:04:15.699 at removing the young Jean Franklin and his retinue. 00:04:16.329 --> 00:04:19.209 A pinch dropped and swirled into a bodily of 00:04:19.209 --> 00:04:22.389 jelly classique noir, the favored drink of one 00:04:22.389 --> 00:04:26.310 mellow aura. And not well liked by most, a simple 00:04:26.310 --> 00:04:29.269 note unsigned was enough to send the true murder 00:04:29.269 --> 00:04:32.829 weapon straight to the young man's door and inside. 00:04:33.470 --> 00:04:37.149 And finally, the pinched ended all a bit more 00:04:37.149 --> 00:04:40.620 than a pinch if we're being precise. tossed into 00:04:40.620 --> 00:04:44.600 a diva's bag of a similar colored powder, set 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.740 to open and fall into a pretty little mist during 00:04:47.740 --> 00:04:52.439 her performance. A dramatic final step, a perfect 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:56.139 crescendo to the artist's design. In one other 00:04:56.139 --> 00:04:59.319 little pinch, having found its way burning in 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:01.639 the mind of the captain of the Silent Verse and 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.600 his officer. But this one's placement I will 00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:08.680 keep my little secret for now. Years of planning. 00:05:09.259 --> 00:05:13.560 Of a waning of sheer malice. And finally it ends 00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:20.920 in bloody combat. In a single little pinch. So 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:23.199 how you guys doing? You're sick, David. You're 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:26.300 sick! Yeah! Yeah! I'm having fun. I'm having 00:05:26.300 --> 00:05:29.300 fun. I love, I love... This is why I love murder 00:05:29.300 --> 00:05:31.180 mysteries. This is why I love this shit so much, 00:05:31.220 --> 00:05:34.339 right? Because, like, you're over here. And it's 00:05:34.339 --> 00:05:35.699 not just the idea that, like, hey, there's a 00:05:35.699 --> 00:05:38.439 mystery. There's clues to uncover. There's this... 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.259 thrill to me in this knowledge that like you're 00:05:41.259 --> 00:05:42.860 hanging out you have all these people in this 00:05:42.860 --> 00:05:45.439 room and you know that one of these people is 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:49.300 so much cleverer than they let on so much more 00:05:49.300 --> 00:05:53.500 malign than they let on and they wish you harm 00:05:53.500 --> 00:05:56.480 and you don't know who and isn't it terrifying 00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:59.060 right yeah and apparently cleverer than us too 00:05:59.060 --> 00:06:03.459 like oh i'm so stoked and here we are the culmination 00:06:03.459 --> 00:06:07.800 of a plot that you've wandered into A combat 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:11.000 for the ages. And it's going, well, in some ways 00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.000 it's going quite well. And in some ways it's 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:17.120 going quite badly. I'm trying to decide if the 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:21.199 whole talking about a pinch in the soup like 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:25.279 a chef is like a hint to Fyodor. But I'm like, 00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:29.480 I just, I can't figure you out anymore. I cannot 00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:32.839 be read. I cannot be read. I'm curious. You guys 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:34.339 have any theories out there? Anything you want 00:06:34.339 --> 00:06:35.420 to share yet? Or do you want to just get back 00:06:35.420 --> 00:06:40.339 to this fight? I really, truly don't have any 00:06:40.339 --> 00:06:44.740 theories. Yeah. I'm perfectly stumped. How wonderful. 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:49.240 Wonderful. But David. What? We can't get back 00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:51.220 to the fight just yet. What?

In the interest of time. In the interest 00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:29.200 of time. Wow. Got to get that duck. Oh, speaking 00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:32.580 of ducks in the oven, you three, huh? Two.

I'll only 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.460 let you cook my goose, David. Oh, my goodness. 00:14:49.899 --> 00:14:51.840 Is this going to be a silly one? It feels like 00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:54.299 a silly one. It's like I already have, like, 00:14:54.299 --> 00:14:57.519 second episode energy for the first episode and 00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:02.600 only episode, thankfully, for this evening. Siren, 00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:09.860 escape. That is kind of hot. I'm into it. We're 00:15:09.860 --> 00:15:13.639 last. We left off. We are in the third round 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:17.559 of this sudden combat. The last thing that happened 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:22.779 is we see Diva Luma surrounded by two duergar, 00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:27.259 two of the silent verse officers, and Margus 00:15:27.259 --> 00:15:30.960 Ruba, who puts up this valiant effort, charging 00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:34.659 the Diva, swinging, holding out strong. They 00:15:34.659 --> 00:15:42.070 stand firm until one last swipe. A poisoned heel 00:15:42.070 --> 00:15:47.549 blade. What is a king of coin to a luminary, 00:15:47.549 --> 00:15:51.809 to a battle dancer, to a legend? Marcus's eyes 00:15:51.809 --> 00:15:54.309 roll back in their head as they begin to fall 00:15:54.309 --> 00:15:59.129 backwards, unconscious and dying. And you asked 00:15:59.129 --> 00:16:02.009 me. And you said, hey, how about that orcish 00:16:02.009 --> 00:16:06.590 ferocity? Because downstairs, Zeni Aruba is alive 00:16:06.590 --> 00:16:11.860 still. And that was me. given the PC mechanics 00:16:11.860 --> 00:16:15.279 to this NPC. And I'm willing to do the same here 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:19.840 for Margus, but unfortunately, Margus is a full 00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:22.820 orc. And according to Bolo's Guide to Monsters, 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:27.720 which has the PC attributes for a full orc, they 00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:30.799 actually do not have the orcish ferocity ability. 00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:34.360 It seems to only belong to the hybrid half orcs. 00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:39.299 Them's the breaks, guys. Margus goes down. And 00:16:39.299 --> 00:16:42.720 I can't fight that. I'll fight you. Okay, well, 00:16:42.899 --> 00:16:46.500 or I'll fight Volo. I don't care. Following that. 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:51.940 Bring the fight to Volo. Following that, the 00:16:51.940 --> 00:16:55.279 duergar both take this flash of this sort of, 00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:58.440 again, that sort of pyrotechnic display as Diva 00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:00.860 Luma swipes around, her hand blasting out with 00:17:00.860 --> 00:17:03.980 this sort of powder that shocks them. They kind 00:17:03.980 --> 00:17:05.759 of go, you know, sort of stumbling backwards. 00:17:05.859 --> 00:17:09.180 They're looking very hurt. And Diva Luma, again, 00:17:09.339 --> 00:17:15.480 seems to vanish. Downstairs, Jean Franklin has 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:18.859 come up with a plan, a brilliant plan to take 00:17:18.859 --> 00:17:22.019 some heat off of him. To try to protect the young 00:17:22.019 --> 00:17:27.319 Xenia and Ledoux. He uses the illusion set in 00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:30.900 this ring by Mesmerize. Former enemy turned ally. 00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:35.640 To create a visage of the pig man. The pig man 00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:39.000 just standing in the cell. Huge and towering. 00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:43.259 Kind of overlapping Jaune's own form. And Harlan 00:17:43.259 --> 00:17:48.529 taking the bait. basically also tries to grow 00:17:48.529 --> 00:17:51.990 huge. He activates some inner ability, this innate 00:17:51.990 --> 00:17:54.750 sort of characteristic that all duergar have, 00:17:54.950 --> 00:17:57.329 to be able to grow. And even though this space 00:17:57.329 --> 00:18:02.509 is small, it barely allows for it, he grows huge, 00:18:02.769 --> 00:18:05.910 his stamping feet coming down right beside Xenia, 00:18:05.950 --> 00:18:10.359 who goes frozen stiff, quiet. not wanting to 00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:13.660 provoke this terrifying monstrosity. Just between 00:18:13.660 --> 00:18:17.240 his legs, the spear, the banner of the Golden 00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:19.920 Bay, it's like just slightly kind of underneath 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:25.259 Harlan's foot, but in reach for Jaune to be able 00:18:25.259 --> 00:18:27.119 to go out, grab the banner, potentially pull 00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:32.500 the spear towards him. Now, on my turn, I shove 00:18:32.500 --> 00:18:36.019 the other Dwargar, I believe his name was Grumby? 00:18:36.099 --> 00:18:38.440 I think Grumby was the name I gave him, out of 00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:41.390 the way. So Harlan can create the space to grow, 00:18:41.569 --> 00:18:44.410 to challenge the big man. In doing this, I used 00:18:44.410 --> 00:18:46.809 one of my multi -attack actions and my bonus 00:18:46.809 --> 00:18:50.990 action, but I still have one more attack and 00:18:50.990 --> 00:18:56.890 my ability to call upon my allies, order them 00:18:56.890 --> 00:18:58.509 to use their reaction to attack. So I'm going 00:18:58.509 --> 00:19:01.630 to do those now and resolve this turn. Here's 00:19:01.630 --> 00:19:04.829 how this works. You have an illusion. On my turn, 00:19:04.869 --> 00:19:06.549 I could use an action to make a perception check 00:19:06.549 --> 00:19:09.640 to... attempt to see through this illusion, which 00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:12.779 would be a very good use of my one button, I 00:19:12.779 --> 00:19:14.240 would think, if I want to use that button, as 00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:18.279 I said, to kill the young tortle lord. But I 00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:22.960 can't justify that in this rage, under this influence, 00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:25.740 Harlan would make that check. So he's not going 00:19:25.740 --> 00:19:29.460 to. He's going to swing madly at the pig man. 00:19:29.539 --> 00:19:33.440 But here's the catch. The pig man takes up what 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:35.519 you'd assume to be four squares of space before 00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:38.680 Harlan. When he attacks, I'm going to roll a 00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:42.759 d4. On a 4, it's going to hit Jaune, and I'm 00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:45.400 going to attempt to break Jaune's AC. That's 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:46.660 the breaks for that. That's how it's going to 00:19:46.660 --> 00:19:50.240 work. Okay. It's still a great position for Jaune 00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:52.359 to be in because Harlan's not attacking him directly. 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:55.200 He's just swinging with this massive, this great 00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:58.000 force, just pounding into this sort of cell right 00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:00.160 between the bars, trying to plunge this weapon 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:01.779 into the pig man. And from his perspective, the 00:20:01.779 --> 00:20:04.920 pig man is just dodging and parrying and blocking 00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:08.299 because he can't tell that it's fake. So here 00:20:08.299 --> 00:20:11.339 we go. Quick question, David. What round are 00:20:11.339 --> 00:20:14.880 we on? This is round three. Okay. I have just 00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:19.789 made my roll. It's a three, not a D4. He comes 00:20:19.789 --> 00:20:22.990 down in the square beside Jean, like on the floor. 00:20:23.349 --> 00:20:27.309 Cracked as this weapon kind of crushes into right 00:20:27.309 --> 00:20:30.069 beside him. I think metal sort of bars bend and 00:20:30.069 --> 00:20:37.890 scream as Harlan's blade comes through. Ah, big 00:20:37.890 --> 00:20:43.619 man! I'll kill ya! And he screams out to his 00:20:43.619 --> 00:20:46.579 allies, well, kill him! Kill him! The other Dwargar's 00:20:46.579 --> 00:20:48.900 going to make an attack, but because he was shoved 00:20:48.900 --> 00:20:51.700 to the side, there is a sort of wall blocking 00:20:51.700 --> 00:20:54.039 that diagonal. He's trying to make an attack 00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:58.500 with his war pick around cover. It's going to 00:20:58.500 --> 00:20:59.559 be, I'm going to give him disadvantage on this. 00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:06.359 Awesome. Nice. That's a miss. He goes to attack, 00:21:06.460 --> 00:21:10.980 does not land with his reaction, and that is 00:21:10.980 --> 00:21:18.140 Harlan. I am making a roll for Marcus Ruba. Duergar. 00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:20.460 They don't see Diva Luma, but they can assume 00:21:20.460 --> 00:21:24.819 that the Diva is right where she just vanished. 00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:26.779 They're going to attack the space before them. 00:21:26.859 --> 00:21:28.619 They're going to attack with disadvantage because 00:21:28.619 --> 00:21:34.559 of invisibility. Would have been a crit, but 00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:40.039 still a hit on the first one. Ooh. Would have 00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:45.480 been a crit. Get out. Wow. Come on. A miss still 00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:49.079 in the second one. Yeah. Almost two crits. That 00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:52.279 invisibility came in clutch. Yeah, for real. 00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:54.980 But still one hit. I can see what's happening 00:21:54.980 --> 00:21:59.420 with this too. We are not taking this fight seriously 00:21:59.420 --> 00:22:02.220 right now. He's just dancing. Max damage on the 00:22:02.220 --> 00:22:03.859 hit. That's a good song. Actually, 10 damage 00:22:03.859 --> 00:22:06.599 on Nevoluma. Oh, nice. This is where I go like, 00:22:06.819 --> 00:22:10.819 it's your job to protect. I don't care. what 00:22:10.819 --> 00:22:13.640 you are! I'm taking you out! He's just like barely 00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:15.359 standing, but still swipes out into visibility, 00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:18.660 and you see like blood splashes onto the sort 00:22:18.660 --> 00:22:22.039 of stage behind as this duergar actually managed 00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:24.059 to hit the other ghost's swing in the sort of 00:22:24.059 --> 00:22:26.000 invisible sort of shape of Diva Luma, wheeze 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:28.839 beneath it. But they are trying their best, barely 00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:31.960 up, but trying their best to hold back the fury 00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:35.180 of this diva. If they go down, she is on you, 00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:39.809 Jules. Didn't you say that all Dwargar have the 00:22:39.809 --> 00:22:44.210 innate ability to grow humongous? And they grow 00:22:44.210 --> 00:22:52.109 humongous. That's a bonus action. Bonus action, 00:22:52.230 --> 00:22:54.269 big boy. They already used that today. What are 00:22:54.269 --> 00:22:58.849 you talking about? Holy shit, you're right. So 00:22:58.849 --> 00:23:00.630 they just like, they yelled this to their toilet 00:23:00.630 --> 00:23:04.099 stand and they just kind of... They grow much 00:23:04.099 --> 00:23:05.920 larger than their size. Their HP remains the 00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:07.500 same, but they get a little more damage on their 00:23:07.500 --> 00:23:09.619 attacks should they land. Maybe they'll crit 00:23:09.619 --> 00:23:13.740 again. Who knows? Maybe. All right, all right, 00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:17.339 Steven. I think you're so cool with your ideas. 00:23:18.220 --> 00:23:21.700 Downstairs, now that my buddy's large here, I'm 00:23:21.700 --> 00:23:23.920 going to, there's a mechanic I can use. I didn't 00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:25.819 use it before because I didn't want to. It feels 00:23:25.819 --> 00:23:27.539 goofy when people are the same size, but you 00:23:27.539 --> 00:23:29.519 can technically occupy someone's space, do an 00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:31.849 attack, and then step back from that space. So 00:23:31.849 --> 00:23:34.509 this guy's going to kind of move down, kind of 00:23:34.509 --> 00:23:36.690 like, you know, in between the legs real quick 00:23:36.690 --> 00:23:41.769 of his big sort of stamping captain. Didn't he 00:23:41.769 --> 00:23:45.470 just go? Oh, it was the... Yeah, yeah. Let's 00:23:45.470 --> 00:23:48.630 do this thing. Come on, Jean. That is a hit on 00:23:48.630 --> 00:23:52.910 Jean with a 20, right? Yep, 20 hits. Okay. It's 00:23:52.910 --> 00:23:55.190 very hard for me to hit Jean with this guy, but 00:23:55.190 --> 00:24:03.339 this is big. This is very big. Jaune takes five 00:24:03.339 --> 00:24:09.460 points of damage. And I had a DC 10 constitution 00:24:09.460 --> 00:24:12.180 saving throw because Jaune needs to maintain 00:24:12.180 --> 00:24:16.220 concentration on the pig man. He's using, he's 00:24:16.220 --> 00:24:19.400 like focusing through the ring to like create 00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:20.680 this thing. And I love this because Jaune needed 00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:22.299 a hero. He needed to be a hero in this moment. 00:24:22.339 --> 00:24:23.779 He called upon one of the greatest heroes. He 00:24:23.779 --> 00:24:26.619 knows that is a good time to use a button. Okay. 00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:32.000 Advantage on this roll. Got to hit a 10. Or pig 00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:34.940 man goes bye -bye and so does Jean, quite likely. 00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:37.640 If the saving throw is not listed, it's just 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:40.240 a zero, right? Or is it an actual bonus? No, 00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:42.619 it'll be his constitution. Okay. Plus three is 00:24:42.619 --> 00:24:46.740 really good. Yeah. Oh, wait. The first one was 00:24:46.740 --> 00:24:51.640 a 10, so. And then it was a 12. Okay. Just barely. 00:24:51.700 --> 00:24:54.220 He makes it. He eats. He kind of takes that hit. 00:24:54.339 --> 00:24:55.599 And he's doing it. First, I can make the pig 00:24:55.599 --> 00:25:00.000 go, uh -oh. Flickers him. Hey, hey. Still here. 00:25:00.819 --> 00:25:04.859 Come on. And I'm like, ah! Fighting. Okay. Good 00:25:04.859 --> 00:25:07.900 shit. Sean Franklin's turn. He holds strong. 00:25:08.099 --> 00:25:10.740 He keeps it up. The spear is down below. You 00:25:10.740 --> 00:25:12.859 may take the spear. Okay. What's it going to 00:25:12.859 --> 00:25:16.119 cost me to take the spear? It's within range. 00:25:16.839 --> 00:25:20.000 I think you can just grab it. It's an object 00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:22.299 interaction to reach out and grab it. You know 00:25:22.299 --> 00:25:25.299 what? I did say the spear's under the foot. I 00:25:25.299 --> 00:25:28.059 need a strength check. I need an athletics check. 00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:29.839 Why did I ask? Because you're going to rip the 00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:34.380 banner. You have to rip the banner to get to 00:25:34.380 --> 00:25:36.380 the spear. He pulls the banner to get the spear 00:25:36.380 --> 00:25:38.059 kind of into the range. He reaches up, snatches 00:25:38.059 --> 00:25:41.079 it, and he just yanks up, tear the banner. 13. 00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:43.539 That'll do it. I was looking for 10. Okay, sweet. 00:25:44.339 --> 00:25:46.940 It's tearing of cloth as the banner is torn. 00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:51.200 Jaune, the bearer of this banner, has just ripped 00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:53.529 it. But perhaps the true Golden Bay, the true 00:25:53.529 --> 00:25:55.369 thing to protect, stands behind him. And so he 00:25:55.369 --> 00:25:57.450 wields a spear. What are you going to do, Blanche? 00:25:57.970 --> 00:26:02.609 Sorry, Steven. So you said that the smaller duergar, 00:26:02.730 --> 00:26:04.529 you said he stepped in, attacked, and then stepped 00:26:04.529 --> 00:26:08.250 out, right? Yes. He cannot occupy the space at 00:26:08.250 --> 00:26:09.950 the end of his turn. He can only use half movement 00:26:09.950 --> 00:26:12.529 to go into his ally space. So as much as I want 00:26:12.529 --> 00:26:15.130 to attack him, he's behind cover. I guess he's 00:26:15.130 --> 00:26:21.339 just going to attack Harlan. Okay. 16. 16 hits. 00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:26.019 I mean, it's max damage, but it's just a D6 plus 00:26:26.019 --> 00:26:28.740 two, so eight. It's something. Yeah, that's something. 00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:32.940 Eight is not nothing. Good sort of stab for Han, 00:26:32.980 --> 00:26:35.119 especially when he sees the pig go, punch ya! 00:26:35.299 --> 00:26:37.640 And punches, just sticks him with two fingers. 00:26:39.559 --> 00:26:41.680 It's just so funny. Jon is literally fighting 00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:45.920 in the shadow of this hero he admires. His moves 00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:48.619 are the pig man's moves. Something I want to... 00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:51.599 Remind myself of real fast, Blanche has a D8, 00:26:51.700 --> 00:26:58.220 right? Yep. Oh, yes, yes, yes. For Bardic Inspiration. 00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:01.140 That's pretty good. That's going to be Ledoux 00:27:01.140 --> 00:27:03.900 and DiPiero. DiPiero is still hiding behind Blanche, 00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:07.660 holding strong. Come on, come on. And then downstairs, 00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:12.640 just, John, are you okay? John, shut up. Ledoux, 00:27:12.779 --> 00:27:19.579 just stand firm. I'll protect you. Jules, that's 00:27:19.579 --> 00:27:24.539 you. Okay. I didn't want to do this, but I have 00:27:24.539 --> 00:27:25.900 a strong feeling that if I'm there, I'm going 00:27:25.900 --> 00:27:29.359 to die. Don't die. So I'm going to cast Invisibility. 00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:34.259 Nice. Oh! And go Invisible. Okay. And then I'm 00:27:34.259 --> 00:27:36.240 going to cast Bardic Inspiration as bonus action 00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:39.140 onto Chester. So we have two Invisible figures 00:27:39.140 --> 00:27:43.099 now in this room. I love it. It's a good move. 00:27:43.400 --> 00:27:47.450 It's a good move. And that is all I got. Chester's 00:27:47.450 --> 00:27:49.670 kind of empowered by this light. The golden moat 00:27:49.670 --> 00:27:52.069 surrounds him. He nods to the space where you 00:27:52.069 --> 00:27:53.670 were, where he knows you still are, where he 00:27:53.670 --> 00:27:58.069 can feel your presence. Here, Chester. Oh, yeah. 00:27:59.109 --> 00:28:03.710 I'll take it. I'll take your bardic die. Hell 00:28:03.710 --> 00:28:06.710 yes, Blanche. Oh, how do you want to handle my 00:28:06.710 --> 00:28:10.730 invisibility? Because I moved. I trust you. Okay. 00:28:10.789 --> 00:28:13.279 I'll just move you off the map. I think it's 00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:14.680 fun that way when you can just be like, I surprised 00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:17.279 you, you know? Okay, cool. I think, you know, 00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:19.359 passive perception is not really going to be 00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:21.240 a thing for D .Va Luma right now in this state. 00:28:21.339 --> 00:28:23.759 So not being able to see you, I think you can 00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:27.700 fully be out of sight. So that's fun. Cool. It's 00:28:27.700 --> 00:28:32.000 very fun. The Find Familiar spell says that as 00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:34.140 an action, you can see through your familiar's 00:28:34.140 --> 00:28:36.500 eyes and hear what it hears. Oh, until the start 00:28:36.500 --> 00:28:39.319 of your next turn. Okay. So the start of Blanche's 00:28:39.319 --> 00:28:42.130 turn, she's back. For free. Oh, shit. I was, 00:28:42.130 --> 00:28:43.829 like, thinking, what's it going to cost me to 00:28:43.829 --> 00:28:50.369 go back? Nice. Okay, excellent. So Blanche unwargs 00:28:50.369 --> 00:28:55.089 whatever, comes back into her body here, surveys 00:28:55.089 --> 00:28:59.410 the situation. I can't see. Where did Diva Luma 00:28:59.410 --> 00:29:03.029 go? Oh, yeah, that's right. You just come back 00:29:03.029 --> 00:29:07.849 to see two giant duergar, Margus Ruba, just lying, 00:29:08.109 --> 00:29:13.319 defeated. No jewels, no Divaluma. Chester beside 00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:16.599 you, DiPiro behind you. What is going on? Blanche 00:29:16.599 --> 00:29:20.799 is going to intuit that some invisibility has 00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:23.519 happened here. She's going to cast See Invisibility. 00:29:23.859 --> 00:29:31.500 Oh my gosh. That's really cool. Has Divaluma 00:29:31.500 --> 00:29:34.319 moved? Divaluma has not moved. You see Divaluma 00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:35.940 is in the same spot and you have the ability 00:29:35.940 --> 00:29:37.619 without disadvantage to make a move against. 00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:40.200 And to use fights that rely on sight or spells 00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:43.200 rely on sight. That is, that's a good move. Blanche 00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:46.339 is going to move up into Diva Luma's space. And 00:29:46.339 --> 00:29:50.259 that's the end of her turn. Just this. Kind of 00:29:50.259 --> 00:29:52.839 like primal eyes look towards you. Surprised. 00:29:53.299 --> 00:29:57.519 So that's the fourth round of Blade Song, I think. 00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:59.539 Because I think she did that at the get -go. 00:30:00.180 --> 00:30:01.980 Yeah. We'll say it's the, we'll say it. I mean, 00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:03.119 it's the third round of the combat. It's the 00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:05.359 third round of Blade Song. Okay. I think. Yeah. 00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:09.930 Okay. And I said Xenia's just lying. It'd be 00:30:09.930 --> 00:30:12.470 her turn now. She's just staying very, very quiet, 00:30:12.710 --> 00:30:15.430 still shackled in place, not wanting to be noticed 00:30:15.430 --> 00:30:19.950 by the rampaging giant duergar captain. That 00:30:19.950 --> 00:30:24.630 brings me to Diva Luma. This is a tough spot. 00:30:25.529 --> 00:30:26.950 No, it's not. I don't want to do it. I'm going 00:30:26.950 --> 00:30:29.589 to attack these duergar. They're big. I don't 00:30:29.589 --> 00:30:32.450 like that. Bigger targets equals easier targets 00:30:32.450 --> 00:30:40.619 to, I don't know, see, go for. Ooh, one hits 00:30:40.619 --> 00:30:45.019 and one just barely hits. Yikes. Yeah, these 00:30:45.019 --> 00:30:54.779 duerga are going to get messed up. Pretty amazing. 00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:59.240 So the one that... Basically, the one that missed 00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:01.500 last time, kind of following that miss, she just 00:31:01.500 --> 00:31:03.460 weaves into an attack, swipes him. As he's sort 00:31:03.460 --> 00:31:07.220 of growing big, it hits. He drops down, falling 00:31:07.220 --> 00:31:08.859 unconscious. And the one that was standing firm 00:31:08.859 --> 00:31:10.660 that just yelled, that managed to get hit in, 00:31:10.740 --> 00:31:13.480 she turns and whips into him. Blade sticks deep 00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:18.579 into the edge of his chest, missing any vital 00:31:18.579 --> 00:31:21.460 organs, but still the black veins pulse up where 00:31:21.460 --> 00:31:24.819 the poison sticks in. And he looks like he's 00:31:24.819 --> 00:31:27.440 about to fall, and he's buckling. But he stands 00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:32.200 at one HP. And he's holding now. You have one 00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:35.119 duergar that still stands. And this is the one, 00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:39.480 in fact, that is standing between Chester and 00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:45.259 her. Still kind of blocking DiPiero. Just a valiant 00:31:45.259 --> 00:31:48.019 officer to the last. And that is going to be 00:31:48.019 --> 00:31:52.759 Diva Luma's turn. Chester, you're up. You're 00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:55.529 up. I'm up. It's me. I can't do Chester today. 00:31:55.630 --> 00:31:59.390 It's too high. My voice is gone. Now, how does 00:31:59.390 --> 00:32:02.369 Chester sound? Damn it. Give me some water. Hang 00:32:02.369 --> 00:32:06.589 on. Oh, shit. So can Chester kind of see where 00:32:06.589 --> 00:32:10.470 she is? Yes, she's back now. Okay. She reappears 00:32:10.470 --> 00:32:14.410 on her turn. Okay. Yeah. All right. So Chester's 00:32:14.410 --> 00:32:16.190 going to Chester. Stage effects wear off. He's 00:32:16.190 --> 00:32:17.369 going to stay where he's at. Chester leans in. 00:32:18.109 --> 00:32:20.529 I will say you need to move slightly over to 00:32:20.529 --> 00:32:22.589 not get comfortable. Which is fine, yeah. Okay. 00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:25.160 Yep, that is absolutely fine. The other one is 00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:27.380 fallen, so we can kind of shoot over it, sort 00:32:27.380 --> 00:32:29.500 of fall into our body. Maybe it shrinks back 00:32:29.500 --> 00:32:33.339 when it falls. That's an 18. 18 will hit. Ooh, 00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:36.160 baby. Guys are getting some damage in on the 00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:41.180 D .Va. And that's going to be eight. Okay. All 00:32:41.180 --> 00:32:45.180 right. I'm going to legendary action. Stab. Oh, 00:32:45.220 --> 00:32:50.839 God. Just hits. Just hits. I'm not going to bother 00:32:50.839 --> 00:32:56.190 doing damage because... One HP. She sort of takes 00:32:56.190 --> 00:32:59.670 an arrow, spins around, slashes out, hits this 00:32:59.670 --> 00:33:03.289 other duergar, and he, too, finally, eyes roll 00:33:03.289 --> 00:33:09.670 back. Fuck. He begins to fall, shrinking down 00:33:09.670 --> 00:33:14.150 as he does. Downstairs, that's Harlan. So let's 00:33:14.150 --> 00:33:16.970 do the thing. I can bolt down now? Bolt down. 00:33:17.049 --> 00:33:19.230 I used my legendary attack to do that, so it's 00:33:19.230 --> 00:33:22.039 still pretty big. It's pretty big. I'll tell 00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:24.400 you that takes two of my three actions to make 00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:28.400 that attack. So I can't make it again until next 00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:36.279 turn. Great. D4. Another three. Once again, smash 00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:39.119 right down into the spot beside Jean. Bits of 00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:42.980 the floor, just cement, just showering him as 00:33:42.980 --> 00:33:46.420 this Harlan just still, I'm going to take you 00:33:46.420 --> 00:33:54.049 out, big man. Come on, try. All right. I do not 00:33:54.049 --> 00:33:56.690 hit. Call to attack. Other guy is going to make 00:33:56.690 --> 00:34:01.470 that disadvantage attack on Jaune. And miss. 00:34:02.089 --> 00:34:06.690 Okay. Nice. Jaune is holding out. This is big. 00:34:07.630 --> 00:34:13.570 I'm making a roll for Marcus Ruba. Okay. I'm 00:34:13.570 --> 00:34:20.449 making a roll for both the Duergar. Okay. And 00:34:20.449 --> 00:34:21.869 now the one down below is going to step into 00:34:21.869 --> 00:34:23.650 place and make an attack on Jaune and step back. 00:34:24.570 --> 00:34:27.289 That is going to be another miss. Oh, I cannot 00:34:27.289 --> 00:34:29.769 get that turtle. I cannot get that turtle. You 00:34:29.769 --> 00:34:31.530 just got to hold out, Jaune. Ding, ding, just 00:34:31.530 --> 00:34:33.510 blocking it. Yeah, he's got to hold out. He's 00:34:33.510 --> 00:34:35.590 on his own now. But maybe that what you gave 00:34:35.590 --> 00:34:38.030 him was enough. Let's find out. It's Jaune's 00:34:38.030 --> 00:34:42.289 turn. Okay, Jaune's going to just repeat, rinse 00:34:42.289 --> 00:34:44.969 and repeat. He's going to go for a spear attack 00:34:44.969 --> 00:34:47.570 on Harlan. Again, you bring your concentration. 00:34:47.650 --> 00:34:50.789 It's over. That's 18 to hit. That will hit. Oh, 00:34:50.869 --> 00:34:55.349 my gosh. Just four damage, though. Chipping away, 00:34:55.409 --> 00:34:57.389 though. You're getting him down. This is big. 00:34:57.650 --> 00:35:01.710 This is big. Oh, my gosh. We just got to end 00:35:01.710 --> 00:35:04.130 this upstairs as fast as possible. Yeah. You've 00:35:04.130 --> 00:35:08.650 got to end this. Speaking of upstairs, D. Bloom 00:35:08.650 --> 00:35:12.250 is going to use her other, her last point of 00:35:12.250 --> 00:35:16.099 legendary actions. God. As the duergar falls, 00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:22.980 her eyes catch DePiero. No. Fuck. And she leans 00:35:22.980 --> 00:35:27.579 out and she's going to run. Basically just like 00:35:27.579 --> 00:35:31.579 this weird sort of leaping sort of spin out of 00:35:31.579 --> 00:35:33.539 your way. I'm going to use what's called cunning. 00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:38.260 I'm going to move out of the space without taking 00:35:38.260 --> 00:35:42.119 AOOs. Fuck. I mean, I guess that means I can 00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:43.380 save my reaction for shield. And she's going 00:35:43.380 --> 00:35:47.230 to move. right up in front of DiPiero, who trips 00:35:47.230 --> 00:35:49.469 over a chair, is cowering in the back. Why is 00:35:49.469 --> 00:35:51.750 he the biggest enemy? Maybe she just saw him. 00:35:52.090 --> 00:35:55.610 It's hard to say. Maybe she doesn't like the 00:35:55.610 --> 00:36:00.369 royals. She went for Azra, and Azra was like, 00:36:00.489 --> 00:36:02.070 you know, definitely had those reasons for that. 00:36:02.150 --> 00:36:04.769 Azra was definitely on her case all night. Yeah, 00:36:04.769 --> 00:36:06.690 Azra was an asshole. Maybe she's just racist. 00:36:06.889 --> 00:36:10.829 Well, you're also a turtle, so no. Right. That's 00:36:10.829 --> 00:36:14.619 going to be Jules. Does DePiero want to throw 00:36:14.619 --> 00:36:18.579 a punch? I mean, you tell me. Is DePiero the 00:36:18.579 --> 00:36:21.159 kind of guy who would throw a punch? You know 00:36:21.159 --> 00:36:22.980 what? Fuck it. I'll throw a punch. I'll throw 00:36:22.980 --> 00:36:24.780 a punch. All right. He's going to throw a punch. 00:36:25.659 --> 00:36:29.280 He actually hits. Nice. One damage. He's a royal. 00:36:29.420 --> 00:36:33.460 Not a lot, but he's the way one will look. Right 00:36:33.460 --> 00:36:37.619 across the cheek. I can fight, too. Just standing 00:36:37.619 --> 00:36:40.219 around. All right. That's going to be Jules. 00:36:40.760 --> 00:36:43.269 Okay. Do we want to change the order of which 00:36:43.269 --> 00:36:46.309 we were going to do things? I mean, I'm leaving 00:36:46.309 --> 00:36:47.969 that up to you. I'm leaving that up to Jules. 00:36:48.349 --> 00:36:53.469 It's either Mix Marga is dead, like dead dead, 00:36:53.650 --> 00:37:01.130 or we continue fighting. I know what Blanche 00:37:01.130 --> 00:37:02.829 is going to do, but I can't tell Jules what to 00:37:02.829 --> 00:37:05.730 do. Fuck. I think Jules is going to stick to 00:37:05.730 --> 00:37:11.369 the plan. All right. Oh, God. That's assuming 00:37:11.369 --> 00:37:17.329 that David didn't roll a fail and a natural one 00:37:17.329 --> 00:37:21.789 on the two death saves. Yes. It also makes my 00:37:21.789 --> 00:37:23.969 invisibility completely useless and it was a 00:37:23.969 --> 00:37:26.610 waste of a slot. Right. Because I will become 00:37:26.610 --> 00:37:30.489 visible. What do we think we have to gain? I 00:37:30.489 --> 00:37:33.610 mean, like, maybe we get some greater reward. 00:37:33.789 --> 00:37:37.599 We get another combatant back in the fray. Well, 00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:40.699 you're just fucking heroes. Heroes, too, yeah. 00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:42.219 Because at this point, it feels like it's one 00:37:42.219 --> 00:37:44.260 or the other. Well, but now, right, now it's 00:37:44.260 --> 00:37:46.659 DePiero. Yeah. I wonder what Jules is going to 00:37:46.659 --> 00:37:50.519 do. Fuck off. I wonder what Jules is going to 00:37:50.519 --> 00:37:54.300 do. You can trust that Margus can hold through. 00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:58.639 I know. I could stabilize. It's basically 50 00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:02.579 -50. It kind of sounds like he's leading you. 00:38:03.099 --> 00:38:07.900 I know. I don't know, leading anybody. Hang on, 00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:14.159 I need a second. Okay. Okay. I know what Jules 00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:18.099 is going to do. Jules will move. And he is moving 00:38:18.099 --> 00:38:23.619 next to Margus. Okay. It's Margus, right? Not 00:38:23.619 --> 00:38:27.920 Megas? Margus. Margus. Margus. And he is casting 00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:31.440 Cure Wounds. Okay. Okay. I hate that look that 00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:33.679 you just gave me, David. Okay, no. You reach 00:38:33.679 --> 00:38:38.199 down to Margus, who, I will tell you right now, 00:38:38.360 --> 00:38:42.840 has rolled a save and a fail. So the next roll 00:38:42.840 --> 00:38:46.719 could have been death. Okay. You reach down, 00:38:46.820 --> 00:38:49.699 and this healing light floods from your hand 00:38:49.699 --> 00:38:55.420 into them. That's max. Nice. What's max? 12. 00:38:55.760 --> 00:39:00.460 Oh, my goodness. That's pretty good. It's a D8 00:39:00.460 --> 00:39:02.840 plus four. And that was only, that was first 00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:08.800 level. Okay. Full orcs eyes snap open. Marcus. 00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:13.260 And as a bonus action, he's casting Bardic Inspiration 00:39:13.260 --> 00:39:19.260 onto them. Oh, damn. Okay. Golden Moe surrounds 00:39:19.260 --> 00:39:22.219 them, lights them up. Marcus's eyes catch yours. 00:39:23.659 --> 00:39:27.360 You're right. I really can trust you, Jules. 00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:31.500 Wow. I got you. Let's fight together. Let's finish 00:39:31.500 --> 00:39:36.320 this. A king and the midnight prince. Goddamn 00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:43.139 you. Hell yeah. That is awesome. Okay. All right. 00:39:43.500 --> 00:39:47.460 Let me get that big old red X off our buddy. 00:39:47.460 --> 00:39:51.320 Get it out of there. Off our buddy. That's pretty 00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:53.559 awesome. That's pretty awesome. That's pretty 00:39:53.559 --> 00:39:59.980 grand. Okay. Blanche is really not happy. She's 00:39:59.980 --> 00:40:04.219 going to cast, as a bonus action, Shadow Blade 00:40:04.219 --> 00:40:08.519 at third level. Okay. All right. Then she's going 00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:12.659 to make her way up behind Devaluma, flanking 00:40:12.659 --> 00:40:16.500 with De Piero. De Piero's fighting on. She's 00:40:16.500 --> 00:40:18.420 sort of dodging that. She gets clocked by the 00:40:18.420 --> 00:40:20.039 hit and sort of stumbles backwards. You get plus 00:40:20.039 --> 00:40:23.800 two as she's surprised by the sudden ferocity 00:40:23.800 --> 00:40:26.949 that the Turtle King puts out. Yep. And do I 00:40:26.949 --> 00:40:29.489 have to decide? I forget. Do I have to decide 00:40:29.489 --> 00:40:31.769 to use my Bardic before or after the roll? You 00:40:31.769 --> 00:40:34.550 can do it after the roll, but before you know 00:40:34.550 --> 00:40:40.610 the result. No need. It's a 19. Oh, damn. Oh, 00:40:40.630 --> 00:40:45.710 yeah. So with Shadow Blade at third level, that's 00:40:45.710 --> 00:40:49.909 3d8 psychic damage. That's a lot of damage. Okay. 00:40:52.030 --> 00:40:59.110 First one is max. Dude, second roll is max. That's 00:40:59.110 --> 00:41:05.710 16. Oh, yeah. What else? Dude, I'm not... Holy 00:41:05.710 --> 00:41:08.530 shit. I'm not joking. You're kidding me. I'm 00:41:08.530 --> 00:41:15.130 not joking. I just rolled three eights in a row. 00:41:15.289 --> 00:41:19.670 You are furious. Your lord is in danger. Every 00:41:19.670 --> 00:41:22.590 guardian, sort of like fire of your spirit, is 00:41:22.590 --> 00:41:25.369 activating, and you come charging over. What's 00:41:25.369 --> 00:41:27.070 it look like when you strike down with this thing? 00:41:27.210 --> 00:41:30.909 That was almost perfect. A 19 on the die. Yeah. 00:41:31.010 --> 00:41:34.869 And then three eights on the D8. Fuck. If you 00:41:34.869 --> 00:41:37.110 rolled a 20, it would have been six eights, and 00:41:37.110 --> 00:41:40.030 I know that, and you know that. That's amazing. 00:41:40.610 --> 00:41:45.769 That is a solid. This blade of shadow, wreathing 00:41:45.769 --> 00:41:49.369 shadow, rips into D .Va through her chest. I 00:41:49.369 --> 00:41:52.989 know that it's just one attack, but flavor -wise, 00:41:53.289 --> 00:41:58.750 I love the classic samurai movie moment, or really 00:41:58.750 --> 00:42:01.329 cartoon anime moment, where it's like the three 00:42:01.329 --> 00:42:04.150 slashes, like slash, slash, slash. Dude, hell 00:42:04.150 --> 00:42:08.969 yeah. That happens right behind. She covers her 00:42:08.969 --> 00:42:11.949 eyes, tilts her head back. This is burning in 00:42:11.949 --> 00:42:15.010 her mind. As she does, she leans back. Tepiro 00:42:15.010 --> 00:42:18.670 catches your eyes and just nods like, Very well, 00:42:18.829 --> 00:42:22.610 Master of Defense. I never thought we'd be fighting 00:42:22.610 --> 00:42:26.409 side by side. I'll be the target now, my lord. 00:42:26.710 --> 00:42:35.269 Just stay alive. Yes, sir. He smiles. Wow. I 00:42:35.269 --> 00:42:38.510 just got goosebumps. Look at this. I can't believe 00:42:38.510 --> 00:42:40.889 this night. Amazing. I can't believe this night. 00:42:41.210 --> 00:42:45.969 Amazing. Okay, that was huge. 24 damage? Dude. 00:42:46.150 --> 00:42:50.630 Wow. Holy hell. Okay. You know who that is. That's 00:42:50.630 --> 00:42:53.309 DiPiero. Spurred on by that. He's got a punch 00:42:53.309 --> 00:42:56.829 again. Yeah, punch him. With flanking. And that's 00:42:56.829 --> 00:43:01.579 a hit. Oh, my God. So that's just one more damage. 00:43:01.719 --> 00:43:04.780 Fucking love it. Another jab. Oh, that's so cool. 00:43:04.780 --> 00:43:08.739 You know what this is? What? This is the holy 00:43:08.739 --> 00:43:12.400 water from last time. It's activated now. It 00:43:12.400 --> 00:43:14.199 just takes a week. It just takes a week to settle 00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:20.659 in. Amazing. Okay. Okay. I'm going to follow 00:43:20.659 --> 00:43:24.920 up his turn. No, wait. No, I don't have a legendary. 00:43:25.039 --> 00:43:27.400 I use them all. Okay. This is D .Va Luma's turn. 00:43:28.599 --> 00:43:30.739 Actually, note, before we continue further, I 00:43:30.739 --> 00:43:34.360 failed to mention on Mike that since Jules cast 00:43:34.360 --> 00:43:37.659 a spell, he is now visible. Gotcha. I also have 00:43:37.659 --> 00:43:40.739 a note. Was Diva Luma invisible while De Piero 00:43:40.739 --> 00:43:43.019 was punching her? No, I never used the ability 00:43:43.019 --> 00:43:46.880 to do that this round. There's a legendary action 00:43:46.880 --> 00:43:49.920 I can use that lets me basically do damage with 00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:52.900 a power typing effect and then go invisible until 00:43:52.900 --> 00:43:55.500 my turn. So I pretty much just wasted a second 00:43:55.500 --> 00:43:57.219 level spell slot by casting Sea Invisibility. 00:43:57.460 --> 00:43:59.280 But I'll have it for the next hour. Maybe it'll 00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:00.619 be useful. You closed in and forced me to move 00:44:00.619 --> 00:44:02.960 out. It actually wasn't bad. It wasn't bad. It 00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:05.599 was really cool. You saw me move across the floor. 00:44:05.780 --> 00:44:08.340 I watched that. I watched that ass. Good to see 00:44:08.340 --> 00:44:13.599 Jules saunter. Jules is like walking like nobody 00:44:13.599 --> 00:44:16.099 can see me. I know you're watching. You know, 00:44:16.159 --> 00:44:18.480 the walk that you do when you're at home alone. 00:44:18.579 --> 00:44:19.980 You just get out of the shower. You know that 00:44:19.980 --> 00:44:25.360 nobody's there. Jules, what are you doing? I 00:44:25.360 --> 00:44:27.760 threw a towel up on my head. Screw, I'm attacking 00:44:27.760 --> 00:44:31.000 Blanche twice. Bring it. I still got my reaction 00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:33.199 because you wouldn't let me do an A -O -O. You 00:44:33.199 --> 00:44:39.099 should have done the A -O -O. Let's see. An 18 00:44:39.099 --> 00:44:42.210 and a 20. to hit. No sirree. It's done a hit? 00:44:42.730 --> 00:44:44.570 What's it look like? No way. Spins around with 00:44:44.570 --> 00:44:46.570 his bladed heels and her kick comes flying up 00:44:46.570 --> 00:44:48.070 towards you and you're just using your sword? 00:44:48.210 --> 00:44:50.889 Yeah, it's just a practiced sword block. I mean, 00:44:50.889 --> 00:44:56.250 this is elementary. Two attack. Oh my gosh. Nastiness. 00:44:56.690 --> 00:45:01.409 I hate it. Chester, you're up. Chester's gonna 00:45:01.409 --> 00:45:03.110 Chester. Chester's gonna Chester. As always. 00:45:03.369 --> 00:45:06.250 Alright. I wish I could do his voice right now. 00:45:06.289 --> 00:45:09.409 I don't know why I can't. I'm going through puberty. 00:45:09.650 --> 00:45:11.449 I was going to say, I was like, wow, finally. 00:45:11.650 --> 00:45:15.610 It's finally happening. Jules, look at me. He 00:45:15.610 --> 00:45:17.409 just braced himself and stands back at his table, 00:45:17.489 --> 00:45:19.590 lowers the bow. And again, there's this like, 00:45:19.650 --> 00:45:22.150 I think last time he was missing the whole fight 00:45:22.150 --> 00:45:24.809 because he was like, he didn't want to do it. 00:45:24.849 --> 00:45:26.929 He still feels so conflicted. Like this is a 00:45:26.929 --> 00:45:29.150 person under some kind of control and he doesn't 00:45:29.150 --> 00:45:32.250 want to kill them when they don't deserve it. 00:45:32.309 --> 00:45:33.949 It burned him before. It might burn him now. 00:45:34.010 --> 00:45:37.679 But he saw. Margus Ruba, drop. Sheldon Duergar, 00:45:37.820 --> 00:45:40.599 drop. Chester buckles down because he knows that 00:45:40.599 --> 00:45:46.820 he has to step up. That's a 16. That'll hit. 00:45:47.280 --> 00:45:56.380 Wowee. For five. Five, okay. Pretty good. Yeah, 00:45:56.500 --> 00:46:00.559 okay. I'm just imagining escape. Uh, Diva Luma, 00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:03.519 once again, uh, basically just, uh, after getting 00:46:03.519 --> 00:46:05.940 hit by you, missing you twice, realize this is 00:46:05.940 --> 00:46:09.400 a bad situation that she's in, and that's a problem 00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:11.340 part of her mind, realize that she needs to get 00:46:11.340 --> 00:46:14.219 out, and so once again, hand the ogre into the 00:46:14.219 --> 00:46:16.760 sleeve, um, this is, this power tank display, 00:46:16.980 --> 00:46:20.440 this dazzling light blast out at, let me go check 00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:24.820 the range here, ooh, 10 foot cube within 5 feet 00:46:24.820 --> 00:46:28.920 means that exactly none of you. I can only get 00:46:28.920 --> 00:46:30.980 one of you with this. I cannot get DiPiero and 00:46:30.980 --> 00:46:34.880 Blanche. I wanted to. I can't. Just me, Blanche. 00:46:35.400 --> 00:46:37.760 Blanche. First things first, you're going to 00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:44.880 take only nine points of psychic damage. Shadow 00:46:44.880 --> 00:46:49.360 Blade is concentration. Okay. Roll me a constitution 00:46:49.360 --> 00:46:50.739 saving throw. Hold on. Let me take the damage 00:46:50.739 --> 00:46:56.860 first. No. So in Bladesong, I get a plus four 00:46:56.860 --> 00:47:00.920 to any con save, and I have my Bardic Inspiration. 00:47:00.940 --> 00:47:04.500 That's true. Nice. That's true. So let's see. 00:47:04.679 --> 00:47:06.780 You should use all your buttons about it. No, 00:47:06.880 --> 00:47:09.420 I don't need a button. I've got a plus five con 00:47:09.420 --> 00:47:12.800 for saving throws. My con is plus five. Then 00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:14.219 I've got the plus four. So that's already a plus 00:47:14.219 --> 00:47:17.579 nine to save in Bladesong, and then I've got 00:47:17.579 --> 00:47:21.760 my D8 if I need it. Oh, wow. I'm going to need 00:47:21.760 --> 00:47:24.489 it. With your motive potential on the saving 00:47:24.489 --> 00:47:27.050 throw, the creature using Bardic Inspiration 00:47:27.050 --> 00:47:29.590 gains temporary hit points equal to the number 00:47:29.590 --> 00:47:31.849 roll on the Bardic Inspiration die, plus four. 00:47:32.070 --> 00:47:36.789 Okay, so it was just a three on the die, so that's 00:47:36.789 --> 00:47:41.449 12. I'm definitely using my Bardic die. It's 00:47:41.449 --> 00:47:44.949 a two. It's 14. In this case, it would be a DC 00:47:44.949 --> 00:47:47.630 10. Oh, okay. I thought it was going to be like 00:47:47.630 --> 00:47:50.219 a 15 or something. You can keep... Did you already 00:47:50.219 --> 00:47:52.519 beat it with your Bardic? Yeah, but I rolled 00:47:52.519 --> 00:47:56.500 before. Because once I see the roll, then I can 00:47:56.500 --> 00:47:58.880 decide to roll. You would have known already 00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:01.539 it was a DC 10, because it's half of the damage 00:48:01.539 --> 00:48:03.739 you take or 10 at minimum. So you can keep the 00:48:03.739 --> 00:48:06.519 Bardic. Okay. I mean, that sounds fair. It's 00:48:06.519 --> 00:48:08.820 a common thing. You know. Yeah, you're good. 00:48:10.059 --> 00:48:12.579 Yeah, so you hold out. You two take that damage, 00:48:12.639 --> 00:48:16.099 and the Beluma vanishes again. But Blanche has 00:48:16.099 --> 00:48:19.039 the invisibility for an hour. Oh, my. So you 00:48:19.039 --> 00:48:20.960 just, you know, you're still right there. Nice. 00:48:21.380 --> 00:48:23.019 Everyone else doesn't see her, but you're locking 00:48:23.019 --> 00:48:25.619 eyes with the Diva that no one else can see. 00:48:25.679 --> 00:48:29.780 DePiro kind of looking around. Incredible. Incredible. 00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:32.760 Blanche. All right. I realized last time I showed 00:48:32.760 --> 00:48:35.659 rolled two D4s because I have two attacks with 00:48:35.659 --> 00:48:37.420 Harlan. And the first round I didn't do it because 00:48:37.420 --> 00:48:39.559 I only had my one attack left. Last round I had 00:48:39.559 --> 00:48:41.079 two attacks. Didn't use them both. That's fine. 00:48:41.400 --> 00:48:43.280 This time around I'm rolling two D4s to see if 00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:48.940 I hit Jean. A two and a two. Oh, I can't get 00:48:48.940 --> 00:48:52.039 this turtle. This time over his head. Wing, wing. 00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:56.360 Two attacks. Just barely grazing the top of Jean's 00:48:56.360 --> 00:48:59.420 head as this war pick, or no, this sword is slicing 00:48:59.420 --> 00:49:01.460 through the bars, trying to stab at this pig 00:49:01.460 --> 00:49:04.400 man that doesn't seem to go down. Amazing. I'm 00:49:04.400 --> 00:49:06.380 going to call to attack. They're going to try 00:49:06.380 --> 00:49:10.059 to attack with disadvantage. He's going to miss. 00:49:10.750 --> 00:49:13.469 I can't get the turtle. All right, that's great. 00:49:13.610 --> 00:49:16.349 This is exactly what I needed to happen. I just 00:49:16.349 --> 00:49:18.849 need Sean to stay alive. We, I'm sorry, we need 00:49:18.849 --> 00:49:21.389 Sean to stay alive until we can handle this upstairs 00:49:21.389 --> 00:49:26.090 and get down to him. Yep. Margus stands up. It's 00:49:26.090 --> 00:49:27.690 half movement to just get him back from prone. 00:49:27.929 --> 00:49:31.630 Looks to you. How can I help? I'll give you a 00:49:31.630 --> 00:49:33.289 choice. Do you want Margus back in the fray immediately? 00:49:33.989 --> 00:49:36.570 They feel indebted to you for saving their life, 00:49:36.690 --> 00:49:38.949 and they want to repay that however they can 00:49:38.949 --> 00:49:42.800 right now. Fight with us. But don't get yourself 00:49:42.800 --> 00:49:48.099 killed. This big, jolly smile. All right. Let's 00:49:48.099 --> 00:49:51.440 go. I'm going to charge down. I'm going to run. 00:49:52.059 --> 00:49:54.159 Use my remaining movement just to get right next 00:49:54.159 --> 00:49:58.920 to Blanche there. Diva Luma's invisible. Marcus 00:49:58.920 --> 00:50:02.079 knows where she was. Okay, well, Blanche. But 00:50:02.079 --> 00:50:04.039 it's disadvantage to hit that spot. Yeah, Blanche 00:50:04.039 --> 00:50:06.420 is a free action. Can you even explain? Okay. 00:50:06.420 --> 00:50:09.360 She's right here, between me and DiPiero. All 00:50:09.360 --> 00:50:11.960 right. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, you're pointing 00:50:11.960 --> 00:50:14.019 it out. They can see where your eyes are locked. 00:50:14.619 --> 00:50:18.900 Yep, they're going to swing. That's actually 00:50:18.900 --> 00:50:22.360 a hit. Nice. Did you roll disadvantage? I didn't. 00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:28.199 Thank you. Keep me honest. Actually, multi -attack 00:50:28.199 --> 00:50:33.199 as well. That's actually no shit two hits. 15, 00:50:33.500 --> 00:50:38.980 15, 20, 16 on the die. Margus is hot right now. 00:50:39.159 --> 00:50:41.380 Using all the good rolls with an ally. Yeah, 00:50:41.460 --> 00:50:46.780 they clock D .Va hard twice. Max damage on the 00:50:46.780 --> 00:50:51.940 first. That's wild. Okay, so that is 10 points 00:50:51.940 --> 00:50:56.000 of damage total. D .Va actually looks... Pretty 00:50:56.000 --> 00:51:02.239 bad. As this. Two. Swipes. Two. Come to your 00:51:02.239 --> 00:51:08.599 senses. Yeah. And even. Howls in pain. Just goes 00:51:08.599 --> 00:51:12.780 in the gut. Almost goes down. That is. Yeah. 00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:14.119 Like seriously. Even though with this advantage. 00:51:14.280 --> 00:51:16.440 Like. You can see that Marcus is hitting. Marcus 00:51:16.440 --> 00:51:18.900 doesn't even know what they're swinging at. Right. 00:51:18.940 --> 00:51:21.840 Just clocking into something. It's so. Wildly 00:51:21.840 --> 00:51:25.050 cool. Okay. Alright. Duergar downstairs is going 00:51:25.050 --> 00:51:26.590 to go hit Jaune and break that concentration. 00:51:26.730 --> 00:51:28.969 He better, he better. No way. I still got a couple 00:51:28.969 --> 00:51:32.030 buttons. That actually does hit. Oh, boy. That 00:51:32.030 --> 00:51:34.809 does hit. Yeah, I really have to use another 00:51:34.809 --> 00:51:38.289 button. I can't lose this. I can't lose Jaune. 00:51:39.369 --> 00:51:41.730 Oh, this goes down, and I can go all out with 00:51:41.730 --> 00:51:45.030 Harlot. That is max damage on this attack from 00:51:45.030 --> 00:51:47.070 this Duergar, which is going to be 12 points 00:51:47.070 --> 00:51:52.340 of damage on the turtle. A nasty one just swipes 00:51:52.340 --> 00:51:56.059 in. Takes a solid hit, trying so hard to focus 00:51:56.059 --> 00:51:58.619 on the pig man, keeping on this illusion. He 00:51:58.619 --> 00:52:01.099 lets his shield up for just a second, kind of 00:52:01.099 --> 00:52:03.579 forgetting the other smaller threat in the room. 00:52:04.119 --> 00:52:07.440 And as it hits, the illusion is a flicker, just 00:52:07.440 --> 00:52:09.539 a little bit Jaune, not used to casting magic, 00:52:09.599 --> 00:52:11.719 not used to holding spells like his master can. 00:52:12.639 --> 00:52:16.289 Okay, first one was a natural one. So let's see 00:52:16.289 --> 00:52:18.349 what the second one. Use that button. I already 00:52:18.349 --> 00:52:20.929 gave it to you. Okay. Yeah, you did. Oh my gosh. 00:52:21.010 --> 00:52:26.059 This is big. 13. Yeah, it's good. It'll hold. 00:52:26.179 --> 00:52:28.880 It's DC 10 still. Didn't go above 20 on damage. 00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:33.059 So John, for a second, I think his foot slips 00:52:33.059 --> 00:52:36.400 and the pigman vanishes fully. And then he regains 00:52:36.400 --> 00:52:39.619 his footing, stands tall. I can go invisible 00:52:39.619 --> 00:52:44.300 now. Yeah, fuck you. Middle fingers, harlot. 00:52:45.360 --> 00:52:50.820 Holy shit. Amazing. Wow. Oh, the damage I could 00:52:50.820 --> 00:52:54.360 be doing to Jaune. Oh, Jaune would be dead. He 00:52:54.360 --> 00:52:56.219 would be dead by now. Harlan, you're seeing the 00:52:56.219 --> 00:52:58.800 blows hitting the bars and the ground here from 00:52:58.800 --> 00:53:02.099 his sword, and they are hefty blows in this form. 00:53:02.940 --> 00:53:05.820 But Jaune stands firm. It's his turn. Okay. Holy 00:53:05.820 --> 00:53:09.059 crap. Jaune's Lay on Hands pull is full, right? 00:53:09.780 --> 00:53:12.420 I don't see his Lay on Hands pull here. It is 00:53:12.420 --> 00:53:16.000 full, yes. Full at 25? At level 5, it would be 00:53:16.000 --> 00:53:22.969 25. Yeah. Oh, boy. Yeah, let's... I'm going to 00:53:22.969 --> 00:53:25.210 save it. I'm going to save it for now. He's just 00:53:25.210 --> 00:53:28.210 going to do another attack. Okay. I've got that 00:53:28.210 --> 00:53:34.150 in the bag. Watch this be my folly. It's an 18 00:53:34.150 --> 00:53:36.389 on the die, plus five. I'm guessing that hits. 00:53:36.530 --> 00:53:39.050 That will hit. For Harlan, again. Harlan, yeah. 00:53:39.130 --> 00:53:43.469 I'm sticking with that strategy. And that's five 00:53:43.469 --> 00:53:47.190 points of damage. Jaune stabs. The pig man punches. 00:53:47.919 --> 00:53:53.039 Harlan kind of stumbles back. Hell yes. Picking 00:53:53.039 --> 00:53:57.260 away. That's all we can ask for right now. Wait, 00:53:57.340 --> 00:53:59.739 how do I roll? Wait, no. I think I missed a PR 00:53:59.739 --> 00:54:01.079 up last time. I think I gave him an attack after 00:54:01.079 --> 00:54:04.280 your turn, but I've been before. Almost like 00:54:04.280 --> 00:54:05.559 we should have an initiative tracker or something. 00:54:05.739 --> 00:54:07.320 I do have one. I think I just didn't forget to 00:54:07.320 --> 00:54:09.539 click it. Anyway, whatever. Hey, everyone. It's 00:54:09.539 --> 00:54:11.300 his turn now. He's going to punch again. He actually 00:54:11.300 --> 00:54:15.579 does hit. No, we don't. Invisible. He legitimately 00:54:15.579 --> 00:54:20.099 still hits. I cannot roll under 15 with these 00:54:20.099 --> 00:54:22.380 NPCs right now. Yeah, the NPCs are going to win 00:54:22.380 --> 00:54:24.480 this fight for us. Where is my D .Va Luba? Correct. 00:54:24.599 --> 00:54:27.639 Just one more point of damage. D .Va Luba is 00:54:27.639 --> 00:54:31.059 surrounded by people just punching her. Two kings 00:54:31.059 --> 00:54:34.940 of coin punching together. It's beautiful. Jules, 00:54:35.000 --> 00:54:38.320 that's you. All right. D .Va looks bad. D .Va 00:54:38.320 --> 00:54:41.039 looks quite bad. You don't know that, Jules. 00:54:41.239 --> 00:54:43.840 Blanche, you do. Jules is going to move up just 00:54:43.840 --> 00:54:49.050 beside. or just behind Blanche, and fuck it. 00:54:50.369 --> 00:54:53.329 He's going to cast Vicious Mockery, which is 00:54:53.329 --> 00:54:57.010 a cantrip. Oh, okay. All right. And I roll against 00:54:57.010 --> 00:55:00.190 that? Yeah, it's going to be a wisdom save. Okay. 00:55:02.230 --> 00:55:05.389 So now that would definitely be a fail, but I'm 00:55:05.389 --> 00:55:08.809 going to burn my last Legendary Resistance. What 00:55:08.809 --> 00:55:10.769 do you do? How do you do this? Son of a bitch. 00:55:10.949 --> 00:55:12.070 It's all right. Blanche is going to finish her 00:55:12.070 --> 00:55:13.409 off. What do you say? What's your Vicious Mockery? 00:55:13.949 --> 00:55:18.809 Take this, you stupid bitch. You can't swear 00:55:18.809 --> 00:55:27.150 on the network. Shut the fuck up, Blanche. She 00:55:27.150 --> 00:55:31.090 just stands firm, teeth gritted, veins bulging, 00:55:31.150 --> 00:55:35.630 resists the failed save. But you see that that 00:55:35.630 --> 00:55:39.329 has exhausted her. I do not have this anymore, 00:55:39.449 --> 00:55:42.449 which may open up. I need the next ability that 00:55:42.449 --> 00:55:45.190 would require a save. I cannot burn this again. 00:55:45.630 --> 00:55:50.710 And Blanche, that's you. What is the action cost 00:55:50.710 --> 00:55:55.670 for Blanche to pull a potion out of her pocket, 00:55:55.829 --> 00:55:57.670 her bag, whatever, and just drop it, just place 00:55:57.670 --> 00:56:00.909 it on the ground? Bonus action, I guess. A bonus? 00:56:01.070 --> 00:56:04.550 All right. Okay. I'll take that. So she's going 00:56:04.550 --> 00:56:09.980 to grab a regular old potion. Yeah, bonus. It's 00:56:09.980 --> 00:56:10.900 going to be the same as like drinking it. You're 00:56:10.900 --> 00:56:13.059 just putting it down. Yeah, quick thing. She's 00:56:13.059 --> 00:56:18.280 going to say to Margus and DePiero, once Diva 00:56:18.280 --> 00:56:20.920 Luma goes down, you'll need this. You'll have 00:56:20.920 --> 00:56:23.980 to restrain her, but I won't be able to stay. 00:56:24.059 --> 00:56:28.440 I have to get Jean. Out of the corner of your 00:56:28.440 --> 00:56:32.800 eye, you catch a grateful expression that crosses 00:56:32.800 --> 00:56:37.320 Chester's face. This heavy sort of sigh of relief. 00:56:37.980 --> 00:56:43.400 Cool. And she's going to swing. Okay, okay. She's 00:56:43.400 --> 00:56:47.679 going to swing with a plus two. Plus two. You 00:56:47.679 --> 00:56:49.719 can see invisibility. It's not disadvantage because 00:56:49.719 --> 00:56:54.559 of... Oh! I did it! I crimped my pants! Oh, shit! 00:56:55.139 --> 00:57:00.480 Oh, my God! I mean, do you want me to roll? What's 00:57:00.480 --> 00:57:05.719 your base damage for this? 3d8 with Shadowblade. 00:57:06.649 --> 00:57:08.929 So it's actually 6d8, right? Well, yeah, the 00:57:08.929 --> 00:57:14.010 base is 3d8. You'd have to roll so bad. Where 00:57:14.010 --> 00:57:16.150 even is my d8? Oh, it's right there. Go ahead 00:57:16.150 --> 00:57:17.670 and roll anyway. Okay. Let's see if you rolled, 00:57:17.769 --> 00:57:26.510 you know, six ones. Three, four, five, two, five. 00:57:27.150 --> 00:57:29.369 I was like, I was going to say like... Three 00:57:29.369 --> 00:57:31.789 plus two is five. Well, right, yes. But I realized 00:57:31.789 --> 00:57:34.110 I said five and I was like, no, not five on the 00:57:34.110 --> 00:57:39.349 die, Stephen. Three plus two to five. Eight. 00:57:40.050 --> 00:57:44.210 You can stop there. That was the HP left. Well, 00:57:44.210 --> 00:57:46.980 that was halfway. That's halfway. What's it look 00:57:46.980 --> 00:57:50.139 like? Diva Luma is invisible, and what the allies 00:57:50.139 --> 00:57:53.280 cannot see is how she spins around towards them, 00:57:53.340 --> 00:57:55.820 face furious, about to go into multiple attacks 00:57:55.820 --> 00:57:59.699 with advantage. Looks towards Chester. Looks 00:57:59.699 --> 00:58:03.880 towards your lord, DiPiero. Picking her target, 00:58:04.000 --> 00:58:06.179 spins back towards you, but you won't give her 00:58:06.179 --> 00:58:08.900 the chance. You will not give her any more chances. 00:58:09.159 --> 00:58:11.440 Blanche, you drop the potion, and you go to swing. 00:58:11.539 --> 00:58:14.599 What's it look like? Just like you said, Blanche. 00:58:15.579 --> 00:58:19.079 thrusts out and puts her sword straight through 00:58:19.079 --> 00:58:21.699 Diva Luma's belly, comes out the other side, 00:58:21.800 --> 00:58:25.880 inches from De Piero, and she pulls it back through. 00:58:26.679 --> 00:58:29.420 And if she still has movement, she's running. 00:58:30.119 --> 00:58:32.500 You have your full movement, and we'll keep that 00:58:32.500 --> 00:58:36.380 in mind as you press out of the room, Diva Luma. 00:58:36.820 --> 00:58:46.150 One last will. Falls backwards. falls into unconsciousness, 00:58:46.170 --> 00:58:51.769 dying. But the threat of her is gone. That is 00:58:51.769 --> 00:58:55.789 the end of this round. One fight has resolved, 00:58:56.030 --> 00:59:01.550 and Jaune stands firm. This room is safe. But 00:59:01.550 --> 00:59:06.269 can you make it to the Total Lord in time? We'll 00:59:06.269 --> 00:59:08.269 find out next time. Because we'll call it there!
