Roll for initiative! Alright, Pants People, you're
up! So, here's your options. You can either dodge
action like a chump, like a coward, and not engage
with our social media, our Discord, all that
stuff at all, or you can commit full assault,
get in there, get on our Instagram, our Facebook,
our Discord, what else we got? Instagram? I said
that one already. We got TikTok, I don't know.
Go do that stuff! It's cool! We're doing things
all the time, we're working on a YouTube eventually,
we'll get there. But yeah, check us out, Pants
People, and thank you so much for listening.
You guys are the best. Uh, your turn's over.
We also have seen the return of Chester Meeps.
who had joined Jules, Sean, Zebulon, and I in
our harrowing journey through Godspread. One
has to wonder if the brave and talented Mr. Meeps
will have a sidekick position in the near future.
Who can say? Finally, we know now that they have
left the city of Zinda and traveled into the
Golden Bay in the Nine Rules region, the very
land ruled over by the Montelio household. It
seems their celebrations continue beyond the
March of Vice. We can only hope that these heroes
have found themselves some much -deserved rest
and relaxation. Yeah, we're chilling hard. Yeah.
Yeah. Chilling so hard. Chilling so hard. We
got the little beach chairs out, sipping. And
we're on floaties. I don't know. In the ocean.
What's the Noir equivalent to a margarita? Jelly
wine Rita? I think it's a margarita. Beacher
Rita. Wow. Our characters may not be relaxing.
We will be next week. Oh, that's right. Yes.
Yeah. What are we doing, Steven? Well, I mean,
it's not next week for us right now. That's in
a few weeks. But if you're listening to this,
you're not going to be listening to this next
week because we're going to be taking that time
in real human life to go back. Why do you say
human? Why human all the time? It is a human
life, David. It's so weird every time. Are you
not human? I don't think you are. That's the
problem. We're going back to see Glass Cannon
live again when they show up in Boston. Oh, yeah.
So that's our sort of fancy pants anniversary
weekend. Jeremy's birthday weekend. Happy future
birthday, Mr. Jeremy. Thanks. So we're taking
a little time off again together like we did
last year. Yearly FP tradition, I think. Yes.
Yeah. Much deserved for a good Mr. Wolf. And
then shortly after that, we'll be hitting episode
100. Oh, after you get back. After I get back.
From where, Steven? I'm going to Oktoberfest
in Munich, Germany, as well as a bunch of other
stops along the way. I'm super jealous. I want
a lot of pictures. Yeah. I'm going to a beer
boy's mecca. We're going to hear a lot of stories,
I'm guessing. A lot of stories when you get back.
Probably. Look forward to those in episode 100.
If you remember them. Yeah, exactly. And if you
get back. If you don't decide to stay in Beer
Boys Mecca. Don't get drunk and get arrested
in Germany. I bet it's probably okay. I mean,
like, I wouldn't want to get arrested in, I don't
know, some other country. I just mean come back.
Oh, oh, oh. You know what? No matter what country
I'm in at the time, I'm probably not going to
get arrested. That's good. That's my promise
here to you now. He said probably. That means
there's a chance. There's always a chance. Always.
A chance. Speed of getting arrested, gentlemen.
I'm going to arrest you off the back of my manta.
A Blanche's manta. How dare you steal my segue?
How dare you? Is that a Blanta? How dare you?
No, it's Chew. It's Chew. Chew the manta. My
Sahuagin champion. You got it. No, that was it.
My Sahuagin champion. Sahuagin. Sahuagin. Sahuagin.
I hate this. Jumps from his big old hunter shark.
Slides down beside you, ready to strike. And
he gets caught in a gnarly scar on Chew's back.
And he just falls, fumbles down, splashes down.
I want to say, as a natural one, not just a fail,
but a full crit fail, that does take my movement.
He is prone when this round ends. He slides.
Excellent! Just acting all tough. You say a cool
thing, he jumps over. Fuck! I'm going to kill
you now! And he just slides out. I still get
two attacks. I used one. Still my turn. But they're
disadvantage because I'm prone. So, good luck,
buddy. Good luck. Yeah, let me know if you roll
a crit. Oh, this one might get you. Come on,
come on. No. 16 will not hit Blanche, I'm guessing.
No. Okay, up to that shell. Up to that shell.
Hey, don't get cocky yet. You may have done everything
right and I've done everything wrong, but these
guys are scary and cool. Just you wait. He slides.
Boom, boom. Kind of hits the side of your shell.
Cannot quite get barren. But that's going to
be my turn. 16. Nice. You're going to kind of
regret everything. I don't know, man. I'm not
going to go easy on this guy. That's Chester.
All right. Invisible Chester. So just one man
just kind of going on its own. Yeah. How far?
Yeah, I need to get in 30 -foot range. Okay.
Blanche has 40 feet of movement. You could double
move if it's not doing anything else. I mean,
I really... I don't even know. I don't want to
get that close. I just want to get to within
30 feet. Like, once I'm at 30 feet, he's misty
-stepping. Okay. Here's the one thing. I need
an animal handling check. Yep, yep, yep, yep,
yep, yep. Well, didn't Blanche's... Who's the
alpha? Yeah, Blanche and Jaune are riding the
leaders. I never actually said who was following
who. You could have Chester positioned behind
Blanche. No, you said you wanted the heroes and
the sidekicks together, but I have an idea, Jeremy.
How? Chester could jump onto Jaune's manta because
Jaune's going up into the battle. True. Well,
Jaune isn't there yet, though. No, not yet. You'd
have to wait. Well, that's what I'm saying right
now. I want Chester there now on this turn. They're
my hostages and I want them now. I will say,
you guys had a plan before this. I set you up
with sidekicks and heroes together. That was
my decision. If you want to put Chester behind
Blanche. Yeah, what I was asking is if his mana
could follow Blanche closer to the action. I
don't think that's a far stretch for Chester
to be able to say, hey, you manta that is trained,
you follow that manta now. Maybe that's easier
than the animal check at least. Let's make it
a real easy animal handling check. I'm gonna
drop this one down a little up. I think that's
good. Let's do the check. Okay, what's his? You're
right. As long as it's following one of the two.
What's his modifier for it? For animal? I don't
know. Is it wisdom? You guys have character sheets
open. Animal handling is wisdom. Thank you. Animal
handling is wisdom. Okay, cool. He's good at
that. Fuck yeah, he's got a plus two. Eleven.
You're good. Oh, God. You're good. Okay. With
an 11. It's not a hard thing. He just gets within
range. He doesn't get close because I don't want
to raise an alarm with a random single man array
going closer. And then he's going to Misty Step.
You're saying the goal was to, yeah. That was
only 10 feet from all the way back there to Blanche.
Diagonals on World 20 are really weird. You said
we were at 40 feet. Yeah, diagonals are weird.
We were at 40 feet from the back. From the back
line, yeah. I mean, he still uses movement, though.
He has half movement. He can get close enough
and use his movement. He has 15 feet of movement
when swimming. That's half of him, but he'll
be fine. He can go invisible, plurp down the
water, and just swim over and get to work. Perfect.
We'll do that. I want him here on this turn.
Hell yeah. So we see Chester blast out. Sweet.
Go right behind this turtle in the back. We don't
see. Yeah, we don't see. Yeah, this blank, empty
manticore comes up and... Chester, and we just
barely see some mist hovering above the ocean
as Chester performs this magic. Appears, bonus
action, in the water, diving from there. There's
a little splash that no one quite notices as
he moves up towards the turtle in the back, grabs
on. I just thought of something. Stand by. Fuck.
Invisibility ends when you cast a spell. Oh,
it's not just when you attack? No, it's when
you attack or cast a spell. Even if somebody
cast it on you, right? Fuck. Shit. Oh, you're
right. Yeah. Wow, good catch. I hate that. I
will say this. Man, we're really stupid this
episode. He can be visible, but he can dive under
the water. The turtles at this point, the shark,
let go of them. They're starting to sink. Chester
holds his breath, goes in. Yeah, in that case,
we could say that... He just kind of pops up
when he needs breath real quick, but he does
it in a way where he's kind of behind and close
up to each turtle. He can hold his breath for
rounds. Oh, perfect. Okay, we're fine then. Misty
steps, and what you don't see is he appears in
the water. He looks down to a spot you can see
within the water, appears underneath the waves
where the troglodytes are not looking, behind
their line. He's visible. But he's now, the turtles
are slowly sinking down, falling with their tether
gone. Okay. And he starts cutting them free.
So I just completely fucking wasted him. No,
I guess I didn't. No, I mean, without the invisibility,
you probably wouldn't have gotten through. Yeah,
that's true. Yeah, they basically didn't notice
him. They just saw an empty mantep coming up.
Okay, cool. With no one in the saddle, and it's
really suspicious. All right, I like that a lot.
Chester, he gets an action. He cuts the first
one. Can he use it to cut the first one? Yeah,
yeah, yeah. I'll give it just as an action. He
can freely just kind of take, pulls out his knife.
Perfect. Or Jake, you can't tell. Cuts it. Just
freeing the first of these turtles, cutting the
binds. I like to think, yeah, he doesn't even,
he doesn't even do anything verbal because he's
underwater. I like to think that he'll come up
and just kind of give a little tap to each turtle,
let him know that he's there. Freckle Chief's
all puffed out. He's got this floral shirt kind
of floating around him. Hair is a big mess. He
looks like Ariel. Does he just have his one dagger
or does he have another sharp object? He could
have a second dagger. Can he give the second
dagger to the turtle that he just cut so that
we have two people? Yeah, I think Chester's Chester.
He would have more than one dagger. Give him
the knives, man. He ought to have a lot of knives.
Perfect. I mean, I think that's, yeah, one of
the first rules, right? So then I think, yeah,
he's going to give his second dagger to the tortle
that he just freed. Okay. So that we can speed
this up. I like that a lot. Chester's forward.
So the creature of the tortle kind of reaches
up, pulls off the blindfold. The gag looks over
at Chester. Chester pushes forward. The tortle
nods. The two begin to push forward together.
We zoom up above the waves where Jules is about
to make his move. Oh, fuck. Okay. Jules is going
to position himself a little bit behind Blanche
and Chester's manor. Probably like right here.
Okay. He's going to cast Bardic Inspiration onto
Blanche. Yeah, buddy. As a bonus action. And
then, what's the range from him to that? It's
a hwagan down at the bottom there. 35 feet. 35
feet, okay. And is the shark visible? That's
30 feet. 30 feet, okay. Is the shark visible?
It's going into your square. The shark is visible,
yes. Okay. Blanche probably would have told you,
so I'm sure everyone would be aware. The hwagan
can control sharks with their mind. They have
a magical telepathy they can use to, like, command
sharks. So this thing was following the command
perfectly of its master. What's its movement?
The shark? I need the nature check for you to
tell me if I should sell you that. But you did
see it clear 80 feet in one go. I was going to
say, I was like, yeah. Eight's probably not going
to do much. I will say, you did see it go 80
feet. Maybe that was a double move. That was
more player Jeremy asking. Because I think Jules
is going to cast Dissonant Whispers onto the
shark. Okay. Okay. Yeah, I have not used a reaction
this turn at all. So, yep, that's pretty good.
Okay, so you have to... Yep, so it's a wisdom
save. Natural 20. Oh, no. Fuck off. Not high
wisdom. Fuck off. Natural. The only time I'm
ever getting a natural 20 in combat. You go to
cast it, and I think the shark's kind of for
a moment, your mist kind of comes out. You reach
out, and it sort of blends around its head. Its
eyes go dazed, and it looks like it's about to
turn, and you see this hog, and it turns its
head. No! She is mine, and you cannot break my
heart! And the shark just kind of shakes it off
and looks at you. His telepathy, this magic this
champion holds is too strong. God damn it. Still
like half damage, though. Ooh, yes. 3d6. Halved,
but where did my d6 go? I don't know. You can
use mine. Can I use your d6, Stephen? Of course.
Thank you. So it was 10 total, so it's 5 psychic
damage. It's not nothing, yeah. The shark still
shakes us off, but there's a little blood on
its shark nose. Doesn't look too happy. Oh, I
should have given you my bone d6. from Andrew.
Actually, haven't used those in a while. Gonna
be Jaune. Okie dokie. Can Jaune get close enough
to this Sahagin here on the edge? It's in 40
feet. Jaune could reach it and the manta he's
on could even go for an attack. Oh, perfect.
Yeah. Let's do exactly that. Slide up right before
this thing. Jaune just charge! Romanolda! And
then it just splashes down, sliding towards it.
So go ahead and roll me. First of all, a d20,
see if you hit. It's a plus three. All right.
Oh, hit with the, okay, with the manta. With
the manta. 14. 14 does, in fact, hit that Sohagin.
Nice. This guy's, as Jaune just rides this thing
up to it, manta tackles. It's actually because
you move at least 20 feet. It's pretty good damage.
Nice. Like a charge attack? You have a charge
attack. Okay, great. So it's only 1d6 plus 1
with a charge. It's 3d6 plus 1. Whoa. All right.
Now I'll use the bone die. Actually, kind of
crazy. Get the Andrew die out here. It's madness.
Okie doke. Whoa. 4, 5, 6. Oh, my God. 16. Well,
then you said it's plus 1? Yeah. 17. No. Wait,
what? Say it again. I was taking a drink. Yeah,
what? No. How you going? 16 total. Not 17 total.
Half of 18 is 10. You said four, five. Oh, not
one. No, no. Four, five, six. Plus one. Yeah,
okay. 16. Total. Second episode, guys. We're
on a second episode tonight. Just so you know.
Well, and we weren't very good last episode either,
so I don't know that we can blame the second
episode. I think we're just stupid. Stephen and
I both had beers, and we are now sipping on delicious
bourbon, so. Well, now you can sip on the back.
No promises on that. This flogging just got rammed
to death. Oh, yeah. Still hovering from the tidal
waves. Sees this man to come in. Glides. Just
plows right over him. Jean. can i guess if you
want john he could jump off to go for an attack
but his mantas use its full movement and action
okay um john is currently 10 feet 15 feet sorry
from the nearest combatant the one that was in
the middle so he could get off his man to swim
and attack yeah with a spear he does not disadvantage
in the water what happens if he throws the spear
and misses. It sinks to the bottom of the ocean
and this priceless plus one speaker is gone forever.
Yeah, yeah, that's kind of what I thought. You
should do that. I like that. That's fun. Do you
want to just roll it? Not really. Could Jules
just, if that happens, could Jules just recreate
it? No. All right. Let's, okay, so if Sean gets
off, next round. What does it cost for the Manta
to come back over and for Jaune to get back on?
Is it just a movement? I'll say it's the Manta's
movement to reach him plus half Jaune's movement
to read. Okay. I think that's more than fair.
I think we got to get rid of these adds. So Jaune
is going to dismount and swim over to this Sahagin
here in the crotch of our hangman. Hell yeah,
the one that's kind of passed on your earlier
tidal wave and doesn't look quite as damaged,
sort of standing firm and looks to him with teeth
bared. I think it looks at the spear and its
eyes sort of widened. We have a special one.
And now, leveled up Jean with his new king spear
gets a plus six to hit and he gets multi -attack.
Multi -attack! Jean's a beast! Here goes the
first. Oh my god. Fuck yeah. A dirty 20 for the
first. Come on. Just an 11 for the second. Not
quite going to make it on the second. Ding, dang,
dong. Will, hit. All right, D6 plus 3. Okay.
Just a 1 on the D6, so 4 damage. We're up there.
We're doing damage. We're in the fight. Spears
kind of clash and Jaune finds itself locked in
combat in the water with this creature. All right.
And now it's going to be my Sahuagin. Let's get
them in position. First things first. Oh, you're
pretty far. Double move to get up to Blanche.
Yes. Okay. With this move, I can have one double
move, reach Blanche, but not be able to attack.
One reaches Blanche that can attack. One that's
on the tail end. It's looking pretty rough. Bring
it on, fish face. So one's going for Blanche,
and then two, the one that Jean's locked in with,
and the other one that kind of goes around, goes
to strike at him. You notice the turtles now
sinking where they were underneath the waves.
All the guard has left them. They're pretty well
unseen. Chester under the water is completely
unknown to these creatures. They've locked in
on you. Let's do some rolls. Funny thing is,
you're all at full HP, which means I can't be
as nasty as I want to be with these fish. Long
rest what? Oh, let's go on Blanche first. No.
No, simply no. I got two on Jaune. And once I
draw blood, any blood. Oh, shit. Then shit gets
real. Oh, God, the shark. With these shark boys.
The shark. Oh, all of them. They're all sharks
in their own way. 18. Jean? Jean's 19. Oh, my
God. That's four attacks. I have multi -attack
on all these guys. They all go in. Dude, you
can't hit these turtles. I can't hit these turtles.
I slide in. Two guys make two attacks. Jean just
parries them both. One with his shield, one with
his shell. It's kind of turning his back to them.
Wait. Do I have flanking? No, I don't. No, they're
not opposite. Yeah. Yeah, I was like 30 feet
just to get there. Damn. Damn. Do I have more
than 30 movement in the water? Come on. Something.
40 could get me. Hang on. 40 would get me flanking.
I thought it said 35 to get there. No, that was
to get to Jaune's square. Ah. Which means that
18 is a 20. Thank you for letting me check that
out. I will make sure. I'll make sure. No, no,
no. It's fine. It's fine. It's okay. Jaune's
fine. All right. Oh, we'll see about that. Jaune
is fine. So he's going to be fine for now. You've
fallen right into my trap. My first attack is
not going to be the... Oh, wait, wrong die. That
is going to be eight points of damage. One spear
actually does kind of just get right past the
shell, striking into his shoulder. Blood flees
into the water. Oh, right. You see the fins on
the Sagan. widen out their eyes lock in and they
grin these great grins as they sense this blood
and they enter a blood frenzy towards jaune now
anytime i attack a creature that is injured that's
below its max hp i get advantage in all of my
attacks with these creatures oh that is messed
up again are the ultimate offensive warriors
kind of like the totals ultimate defensive it's
perfect right these two uh enemy races But who
will win in this combat? The hardest shield or
the sharpest spear? Let's find out. Best offense
to good defense. You would say that. What? But
that's all my swagging. You're getting it. Which
brings us to Blanche. Okay. Blanche looking around,
seeing the situation she's in. She's got this
champion in front of her. Two sahagin beside
her. In front and below her, just like lying
down. And the shark is not far. Yeah. Blanche
is going to pull out another third level spell.
What? Oh, shit. Blanche is going to cast haste
on herself. That is so cool. Yes. So on the turn
that I cast haste, does she get that extra attack
or is that not until next turn? I think it's
the turn you do. Okay. Nice. Wait, no. Because
that's kind of her action, is casting haste.
Yes, you're right. It probably says when you
take the attack action, you get an extra attack,
I'm guessing. Let me know which I haven't went
to haste yet. Gains an additional action on each
of its turns. So it doesn't gain it until the
spell is cast, but then does she get it on the
casting? I think you would, yeah. A full action?
That means you get to make... Because you're
level six and you can do two attacks. But not
actions, right? I think that's just... Your action
is two attacks now. That's what it means. When
you take your attack action, your attack action
is making two different attacks. Hold on. Time
out. Can we pause real fast so I can... Wait,
wait, wait. I goofed. I did not read the last
line of the spell. Right. Okay, so you can get
an extra action, but this action can only be
one attack. Yes, that's what I thought. Okay.
On the next turn, you can do three attacks, so
it's pretty cool. Yes. It's pretty cool. And
do I get advantage because this guy's prone?
Yes, you do. Okie dokie. If you surrender to
me now, I will kill you last and quickly when
I impale your shell upon the maw. Steven drowned
that fucker. Yeah, it's time to go. You can't,
I'm a fish. Good one. I quit, sorry. All right.
The first was 18. I'm going to die, but I'm going
to roll to see if I just crit. No, God damn it.
I just crit in the water. Look, you come look.
It's crazy. Ew, ew, Blance, come on. Come on.
Come on. I'm right behind you. Because of the
prone and the advantage. You crit your bikini.
Just crit. It's bullshit. I can't. Come on. It's
just 2d8 plus 5. I can't get away with it in
this fight. It's only 11. Still, that's not bad.
Not nothing, but. For your second action on your
turn. Yeah, it's pretty damn good. I'm stabbing
and this guy screams out in pain. Wow, it sucks.
My turn? That is it for Blanche Trudeau. All
right. All right. Let's turn up the heat. The
champion sees the situation. He's in some trouble
here, but he's got backup. There's also this.
Hortle over there that's kind of doing some things.
And there's Jules in the background. So who am
I getting? Who's getting sharked? Who's getting
sharked on? Steven, how nasty do you think this
shark is? I don't... Yeah, the shark is not...
You think it's pretty nasty? Yeah, don't go crawl
on its mouth or anything. I gotta send you a
text real fast. Jean's the one that's in open
water. Jean's the one that's the most vulnerable.
He's not on a mount. I feel like with a shark,
it's weird for it to jump over and hit something
that's... They probably want to go for the mount
first. It's not trained. And Jaune's also bleeding.
A little bit of blood. Perhaps there is no command
sent. Perhaps the champion is engaged enough
that the actual order sent to its head sort of
drop off. And so the shark turns towards blood,
follows its instincts, and drives itself towards
Jaune, also in a blood frenzy. That's really
not good. Stop. What? What are you doing? I think
we got a long fight ahead of us. You think? Yeah.
I don't know. You're going to button me? Or am
I going to button you? I don't see a way of getting
him out of this, though. I'm going to wait. I'd
be willing to wait for one hit to see what he
does. It's going to be a huge hit. We shall see.
If it is a huge hit, this is happening next round.
Right. There's a great chance that Sean's in
a bad way right now. That's what I'm saying.
I know, but I don't think it's worth two buttons.
You don't think? Because then it just doesn't
go to disadvantage. It just gives him straight
up. That's true. Really building up my shark.
That's true. All right, go for it, David. Let's
see what I can do. Come on, give me that crit.
I've been waiting for all my life. Give me that
crit. It misses. Wow, thank goodness. It missed.
No, come on, shark. Thank goodness. Oh, it's
a good to hit, too. I was, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. Yeah, that's just an 18 again. Yeah, damn
it. Damn. Okay. He dives in. John puts a shield
up. It gets right in the shark's mouth as it
kind of like tries to chop down on him, but he's
still surrounded quite badly. I'm not in a spot
where I can get flanking with anybody, so yeah.
It's just a miss. Damn. Okay. Okay. It's all
right. My champion's going to stand up. And with
the remaining movement, step... Slightly over
to the side. Kind of a slow angling to try to
get a flanking on you, Blanche. That's fine.
Spear lowers. You're lucky. But you will not
stay lucky. I cannot wait to taste of your blood.
I'm going to attack you. You won't spill a drop.
Whatever your name was. My lord! See, I've already
forgotten it. Fucking... We know who you are,
Blanche Trudeau, killer of the Sahragan. We all
know you. Your blood will be quite treasured
by a god. Um, 18? No way. Talk to me when you
break 20. Well, if 18 didn't hit, a 24 definitely
won't hit, will it? Will it? Let this marinate.
Okay. Let this marinate. 24 would hit? What?
Until I cast shield. Oh, the blood, friend. So
your shield is up. What's your AC now? So base
AC is 17. Then the blade song gives me a plus
four is 21. Haste gives me a plus two is 23.
Shield as a reaction is a plus five. 28. I need
to crit. Holy fuck. Yeah. Okay. You won't spill
a drop. I cannot get in. Invincible. The legends
tell of the invincible Blanche. And as his spear
strikes out and out and out, it feels like it
should go in a perfect hit. And it just gets,
boom, rebounded by magic. You're too fast. You're
too magical. You're too strong. He just stares
in awe. And that's my turn. That's Chester. Chester.
Chester. So is the first turtle that he cut,
is he bound two rounds? Like, are we going to
say that? We'll say he goes with Chester. Goes
with Chester, okay. So they can get the next
two people. Yeah, yeah. Okay. That's what they're
doing. Two. Chester goes next one. And, yeah,
they're cutting them both free. They're looking
at each other. Again, just blindfolds off, cutting
them, patting them on the back. Totals are looking
around. Just this absolute, like, joy. Like,
they look like they've been through hell these
last hours, being dragged by this shark, knowing
the horrors that await them. You know, not knowing
where they were, how close they were, and now
seeing this. I mean, Chester just smiles towards
them as he's cutting free. Incredible. What a
superhero. Perhaps a sidekick yet. And that'll
be Jules. Okay. This is going so bad for me.
It's so bad for me. It's going bad for Jean,
though. How far is Jules from Jean? 35 feet.
To reach the square beside him. Cool. Because
Bardic Inspiration is 60 feet, so he's going
to cast Bardic Inspiration onto Jean. Hell yeah.
As his bonus action. And then he is again going
to cast Dissonant Whispers onto the shark. Oh,
man. Maybe this distraction... Joel's holding
the brake. He knows what the biggest threat is.
Okay. Okay. But this is going to be... It's a
10. This is going to be third level. Just no
whispers. It's a 10 on the die. And that's a
straight 10. Absolute fail. The shark... I think,
actually, it's less than that. I think the shark
has negative. Oh, yeah. Yeah, well, it's a 15.
It's a 15 DC. So yeah, it looks... I just said
it before. The shark no longer had the command.
It went for Jaune out of instinct. And you saw
that opening, Jules. You realized he just blood
-dropped his whole blanch. Just got him distracted.
You blast out with this white fog again. This
time it hits the shark in its eyes. Black doll
eyes. Go wide. So he's about to take some damage.
Give me that damage and I'll run away. And he's
got to run away as far as his movement allows.
Which is why I was asking about his movement
before. Steven, can I use your d6? Please do.
Would you like to use the bone D6? So that I
can roll it five times? Five D6. Oh my god, it's
40. That's right, it's here. Oh my gosh, that
shark went so far away. I have provided you with
the tools. You can use them as you wish. I'm
going to roll the bone die. Six, five times.
Didn't go all the way through. Didn't go all
the way through. As the shark is sliding away,
Malar just spins towards you, looks at you, blinks
and spins around. Look at you. I was like, what
are you? What are you doing? That's 16 damage.
Not as much as I wanted. I got a couple ones.
Got a couple ones, but I got a couple sixes.
All right. Not bad. This shark looks actually
pretty roughed up. Again, just more blood pouring
into the water. It's kind of running up its nose.
It glides away, leaving a trail of red in its
wake. That mental damage really hitting home.
Okay, then. That's Jaune. With that inspiration,
what's Jaune up to now? Jaune is going to turn
to the Sahagin to the south of him and attack
with flanking. With his manta ray. Oh, yeah.
Damn it. The manta ray is targetable and has
attacks. Oh. I mean, this guy just saw this manta
ray totally plow his body. Boom. Gone. Plow's
a weird word for that. It's a nice manta. It
doesn't do that. No. Rowan Alda, stop. Rowan
Alda, please. It is a wholesome manta. Dear God,
Rowan Alda. All right. Leave it alone. Is it
plowing Alda? Oh, no. Give me that button back.
Hashtag flower. I think I'm going to use John's.
There's a three on the die for the first attack.
So I think I'm going to use his bardic. Oh, and
the flanking. So yeah, so it's just 11 without
the bardic. So let's see what this is. That turns
it to a 15. Nice. Nice. So it was a four on the
D8. 15 will hit. And that's electricity damage
equal to the number of roll and die, right? I
think it's thunder damage. Let me double check.
It's thunder. Yeah, let me double check. Yeah,
and the attack roll. It's a con save by me against
your DC, which is a fail. Excellent. So you do
get the full damage. Yeah, DC's 15 on that. Okay.
Wow. So four damage in addition to the D6 plus
three of the king's spear. Another one on the
king's spear. Good thing he gets a second attack.
Oh, my God. That's right. That one will hit 19
with a flanking. Oh, and it's plus three. Sorry.
So the one is really a four. Another one on the
D6. I'm serious. Wow. I'm serious. Wow. Three
ones on the D6 for the King's Spear. So that's...
Eight damage, then the four from the thunder.
So 12. To that Sahagin. It's bloody that, Lena,
you just threw two quick jabs. They don't go
deep, but they spill blood, rip into this thing's
scaly, slimy flesh. What the heck, D6? But Roan
Alda gets a turn here, too. That's right. Roan
Alda gets an attack. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What is
Roan Alda's to hit? It is plus three. Plus five
with flanking. Plus five with flanking. 16. That'll
do it. What's her damage? 1d6 plus one. Okie
dokie. Come on. I'm giving this d6 another chance.
I shouldn't, but I'm gonna. I mean, come on.
The odds are in my favor now, right? Surely.
Three. I'll take it. That's fine. Three on the
die. So four total. Okay. So four total. Still
up. But again, this guy comes in, slams into
it from the behind. It's spinning around. John
smiles like this. Maybe it's some trusty mouth.
Maybe a childhood like pet that now they're spending
side by side. It's like the first time they've
probably been out like this together. And it's
going so well. Hey, man, don't create too much
attachment here while we're in the middle of
a battle. You're right. Everyone be endeared
to this thing right now. Everybody love Roinalda
as much as David does. Do it. Okay. Love, love,
love, because the Sahuagins turn. But I'm not
going to go for Ronaldo because I'm still flanking
this tortle. And now he's drawn blood. So I'm
going to make four attacks, all with advantage
on Jean -Franck. That's so nasty. Yeah, baby.
This is where it comes from. What? What? What?
Blanche just went? No, Jean just went. Oh, Jean
just went. Okay, never mind. Three hit. One misses.
Okay. This is where it gets bad. Roll out again.
Do we roll Jean and Chester's new HP? Yes, I
added them. I never said they were, but they
are there. You sure? Yes. They are updated. Because
Chester wasn't healed fully. Yeah, I changed
their max HP, though. Oh, you just changed their
max. Okay. This is going to hurt. Stop. 21 points
of damage. Oh, mama. A couple max damage hits
in there. Jaune just starts, and that one blood
came out. They kind of frenzied. He sort of smiles
at Ronaldo, but then he sees the frenzy in their
eyes. He tries to hold strong, but when they
come out this time, they're stronger, they're
fiercer, they're faster. Blood begins to fill
the water around him as they tear wounds. Will
the king of the Golden Bay fall so quickly? Find
out after I attack Blanche. Good luck. You may
hit Jaune, but you're not hitting this old lady.
One of my guys gets flanking with the champion.
New round, so new reaction. Yes. It's a miss
on him. It's a miss and a three and a four on
the die. It's a total. It's all right. Hey, when
I kill Jaune, they can all dogpile you. That
is my sea beast. We're up to the top with Blanche.
Okay. I should have been looking around a little
bit more. So at this point, your shield is gone.
Okay. I can't cast Shadow Blade because haste
is concentration. So really all I'm going to
do is long sword attacks. Okay. So Blanche will
turn to the Sahagun here. Not the champion, but
the mook in the water. Not the champion. It's
time to get some of these. some of these guys
out of here. I should tell you the one that is
above you now is the one that Tidal Wave had
struck. Okay, perfect. That's better. Okay, I
thought that he was... I thought it was switched
around. Okay. I could be wrong. It's a lot of
the same token on this map. That's fine. Whichever
one has a worse look about them is the one Blanche
is going to attack first. 16 on the die to hit.
Will hit. Oh, wow. Thank goodness. Okay, that's
great. I'm going to resolve these one at a time
just in case we get to the point where somebody
goes down and I can switch targets. That's 11
damage. Describe your kill. Excellent. So Blanche
has just blocked all these attacks from this
champion. And let's get fancy. Like a pirate,
like a Jack Sparrow sort of move. She throws
her sword up into the air, turns her body, catches
the sword, and extends her arm and pokes into
this sahagin that was flanking her. Groans, ow,
as it just like floods backwards, blood bubbling
into the water as it sinks below the surface.
As she turns, she says, I'll be back for you.
Second attack at the other less injured Sahagin.
This one is fresh. Oh, freshy. The only fresh
one on the map. Okay, let's give him some. Give
him the beans. Give him the beans, what? 18 on
the die. Well, horseradish is that. All right,
that will hit. I thought 14 hit the first time,
didn't it? I think it's 14. Okay. 14 hit the
first time. 14 would hit. Oh, that was for the
champion. Uh, that's max 14. No, 13. Sorry. I
got excited. Okay. Uh, still up. Okay. Then the
final attack because of haste. That's insane.
You can't. Yeah, man. Oh my God. Six level. What
was I doing? I need 16 more. That's a dirty 20.
I was gonna bring in so many scouts. I was going
to bring in so many reef sharks. It's going to
fucking destroy you. We have 15 % chance. This
is unfair. That's 11 again. Justice for David.
Describe your kill. Oh my God. Yeah. Yes. Yeah.
Yes. And the first one falls off the edge of
her sword and she takes two quick slashes down
off her manta ray at the other one. And then
she turns back to the champion and says, now
it's your time. And it is indeed my turn. The
champion wipes blood, spits it to the side on
the tail of the manta. The manta's kind of just
calmly swimming in place as these figures are
sort of circling around and locked in this spear
versus sword battle. Both masters of their craft.
I'm going to enjoy this. Okay, three attacks.
One might hit. You have a ridiculous AC, so I
can't keep up anymore. 22. No, that doesn't even...
I don't even need shield for that. You can't
hit the defender of the Golden Bay! The hardest
shield. That was the answer. The hardest shield
beats the sharpest spear as the spear slides
in towards you and you just... boom period i
mean haste is giving you this right now right
so you just you're just fast yeah exactly you
just sidestep it can glance at your shield and
he's just trying he's trying to get you but you're
just moving and fast forward like it's ah ah
wow that's it i can't you're not injured so i
can't get blood frenzy this is so brutal your
movements are too erratic you'll never hit that
way anyone else is brutal though this fucking
shark It's going to circle right back down those
40 feet. Come at Joan again. And he's going to
trip on the way. He only went 40 feet away? Yes.
He went his full movement speed. I thought his
movement was 80. It's a double. Oh, fuck. Goddamn.
He dropped it at the beginning of the thing.
He said he's going to double move 80 feet. I
did say that. How dare you. Okay. I'm going to
shark all over this turtle. A shark right on
him. Come on. I'm killing Jean at least. Oh,
yeah. He hasn't gotten his turn yet. Shit. Oh,
man. Damn. Will a 25 get you? Yeah, it will.
Oh, no. Jean is not looking great, actually.
Wait, what? This is scary. Unfortunately. Wait,
why did I not use my buttons? What sort of a
crit? Well, that was on somebody else's head.
I should have used my buttons. No, it was on
the shark. Oh, it was. Yeah. Fuck. I tell you,
could he use it here? He's going to get it. He's
going to survive, I think. I will tell you, for
the sake of your heart, the 19 was my first roll.
19 on the die. Uh -huh. So, if you would just
imagine me, I'm still at 19. Yeah. I was fated.
This death was fated. No, we're okay. We're okay.
Stop with that face. We're not okay. We're not
okay, Steven. What did you do? I don't know where
Sean's at right now. That's 17 points of damage.
Jean Franklin is still alive. Holy shit. Oh,
this shark is barreling down. Teeth rip around
it, sink into him. He's like in its maw right
now. Still surrounded, completely surrounded.
No. Not like this. Fuck. Holy shit. How long
is he up for? When I saw Huggins go. I don't
care. I'll never say it right. By the fire of
the world, it's Chester's turn. All right. Yeah,
they're going to continue and free the remaining
two. Okay. Yep, so everybody's free. Yes, these
two move forward, pound into the water, swimming,
swimming, swimming, tap two more shells, cut
more mines. The turtles are kind of helping free
their own feet now and everything else, kind
of like totally undoing everything. They turn
towards Chester. What does Chester do? Does he
make a, what, what, what, what command does he
give to them silently in the water? He just points
over and he says, sure. He just points towards
the, and the turtles like whispering, like, thank
you. Lost in bubbles and air rising to the surface
as they all begin to move away. Chester watches
with pride and turns his head back towards the
battle, gripping that dagger. Uh, Hell yes. Jewels.
Jewels will cast level 3 Healing Word onto Jean
Franklin. Ooh, baby, baby. Some level 3 heals
up in this. That's pretty amazing. So that is
3d4 plus 4. Okay, okay. It's going to be difficult
to get this d4 to go through this. Near max,
only one wasn't a four. Wow. Wow. So that is
15 for Jaune. Excellent. Damn. That's great.
Almost fully depletes that. The shark's biting
in, and Jules just casts this magic. You see
the teeth sinking in, almost begin to pull themselves
out as Jaune's wounds are healing, and the muscles
are pushing them away. The shark's being pushed
back, and Jaune is glowing with this healing
light. And guess what? What? That was a bonus
action. Yeah, buddy. So he is again going to
cast Dissonant Whispers level three onto the
shark. You cannot use two leveled spells. Unless
one is a cantrips. Fuck. That's true. I mean,
here's a fun little thought. You got the stirred
sword. You could run over there and start whacking
that champion from behind Blanche. You have like
literally Chester's manta, your manta, are all
lined up. You could like... hop manta from there
that's that's one action you could yeah but so
the stirred sword is literally the exact same
to hit or the exact same hit modifier and damage
as my regular rapier oh yeah it's just cool the
only difference is if i crit it's an extra 10
necrotic damage what if you crit though what
if i crit but also when has jewels ever gone
in the middle of three people uh there's only
one now Yeah, you could. Well, there's one and
the shark. You could also get flanking, too.
Well, if you go to Blanche, I mean. That's true.
You could walk from Manta back to Blanche. I
forgot that the freaking champion is still there.
You know what? Fuck it. I'm going to go up to
the champion. I will say, if you're doing this,
I do want an athletics check. Just to see. You
know, acrobatics, if you stay balanced. DC5.
Okay. Because you're walking on these. They're
flat, but they're slippery, and they're kind
of slowly moving in the waves. Well, I have a
plus three for acrobatics, so I just need to
roll a two or higher. Yeah. It was a six. Okay.
You're just a little tough. You kind of jump,
hop off your manta onto Chester's, and at the
edge of Chester's manta, you stand right behind
that champion fighting. And I got flanking, right?
Plus two. You got a plus two from flanking? Fuck,
yeah. All right. Come on, crit. I just looked
down. I saw the perfect manta bridge. I was like,
oh, my God. It's ridiculous. That is 17. 17 will
hit the champion. Wow. Cool, so it's 1d8. That
shell armor really sucks. Almost didn't hit.
Flanking made a hit. Near max, 7. That's pretty
good. It's just a straight d8? Yeah, it's just
a straight d8. That's what I'm saying. The only
benefit to the Sturge Sword is extra 10 damage
if I crit. Okay. Still damage. I can't believe
I just used the Sturge Sword. All right. Still
solid turn. This also gives Blanche flanking
as Jules steps up the champion, looking between
these two heroes. It's going to be Jean Franklin
in the water, bleeding out, but a little more
vital now. How much is in Jean's Lay on Hands
pool? 30. Level 6, 30. Oh my god, that sucks.
He can't bring himself back up to full to negate
the... And it takes his action. So no attacks.
That's fine. I think I'm probably still going
to do it. Okay. That's so... He's at 20. His
max is 51. I was like, cool. With that boost
from Jules, I'll bring myself back up to max
and there'll be a round where I don't get advantage
on. All right. I'm going to use 28. I'm going
to keep two for an emergency in case a couple
people go down. Okay. Good move. So that brings
Jaune back up to 48. All right. And that's his
turn? That's Jaune's turn. Let's get cracking
with some Sahagin. There's only a couple of them
left now. He just, the look, he crit. Yeah, I
hate that. I hate that so much. Three hits. Oh.
And a crit. Fuck. All blades. He heals. He's
still open. These things come at him fast. He
is, I mean, he's used everything. He's used almost
all the healing power he has. And they're just
going at him so hard. His spear's diving deep
in. He's trying to fight off this shark at the
same time. He's completely overwhelmed. Probably
having thoughts of his mother. Was it like this
for her? Did she go down like this? No, she fought
a champion. Did he make the wrong choice? I dare
you. Who knows what's flashing through his mind
as he's taking these gnarly hits. Let's roll
some damage. Two hours to calculate this. Open
calculator app. The numbers are too high. It's
ridiculous. Stop. Stop with that stupid face.
Oh, man. Damn, that's rough. Only 39 points of
damage. Wow. Yeah. Wow. High rolls. And a crit.
Jaune is getting torn apart. Spears entering.
Getting in through his shell armor. He's beginning
to sink. His eyes are losing focus. And he's
turning those eyes towards you, Blanche. Watching
you as he's starting to fade away. Watching you
fight. With that, Blanche, fight. Oh, wow. Okay,
this will be weird, I guess. Blanche is going
to order her manta to crash into... What? Do
I crash into the shark or into one of the sauhagen?
How's everybody looking, David? You need a straight
charge with the extra damage. Yeah. But the shark's
too close for that. Okay, so then we'll go for
the extra damage down here at this guy. Okay.
He need to get hit, yeah. What's the manta? Oh,
wait, no. It just happens, right? If it's a 20
-foot charge? You do need to hit still. Okay.
That is a plus three. 18 on the die, baby. You're
going to hit that fishy boy. Holy shit. This
is the coolest thing. So it's 3d6, right? For
a charge? Yes. 3d6 because you got the extra
2d6 on the charge. Yeah. So you just turn towards...
Oh, my God. What's his name? Two. Look down towards
Chew. Chester. Chew goes sliding over towards
the sinking Jaune. Jaune watches Blanche as he's
fading and Blanche is getting closer and closer
and closer. So before I roll this damage, I think
we have maybe an AOO to resolve later. Oh! The
champion left. I see it. Really? I believe that's
true. I believe if you push somebody out of someone's
range, you don't get the extra hit on them. And
they have to willingly move out. I didn't know
that. Damn. I'm 80 % joined. Nine damage on the
3d6. Nine on that guy. Describe how Chu killed
that very weak and soggy. Holy shit. Chew gets
enough speed that his front chest starts to come
out of the water. And he just belly flops, slams
down onto the sock. I want ecrobatic checks from
both of us to see if we stay on. Fair, I think.
This thing is charging and running. I didn't
do that the first time. You were in your position
the first time. Now you're fighting on the side
of the flaps. All right. dc 10 oh okay yeah 13
on the die okay you're good uh same here so you
guys just kind of it's not hard it's moving it
slams but you're kind of ready for you brace
yourselves uh as this thing hits champion battling
with you uh holy shit just to avoid a wedgie
i googled it yeah they if they're forcibly removed
from the space it doesn't hell yeah yeah ding
dang damn okay that's blanche's move so now is
blanche standing it looks like She's five feet
from both the champion and the shark. It's true,
yeah. Okay. Blanche is going to turn and start
to attack the shark. Holy shit. I love this.
Jaune's fading and just sees Blanche appearing
there, fighting there, saving his life again
after everything. Got to save that little shit.
His father did what he did, everything. And here
you are, Blanche Trudeau, always there. Blanche
Trudeau. 21 is the first. So D8 plus 5. 8 damage
on the first attack. 18 for the second. Oh my
gosh. 18 to hit, I mean. It's ridiculous. Just
7 damage on the second attack. And going in for
a third. Another 21. Oh my god. Ten damage on
the third attack. Hitting me ten damage? Holy
shit. Ten damage? That's it. Nine HP left. Yeah!
Get that shack, Eddie. Oh my god. You come flying
in in this flurry of movement. What does it look
like when you take this shark down? The first
two hits, she cuts on either of its fins to keep
it from moving away. And then the third, she
flips her sword around in her hand and just stabs
down right in between his eyes. It's like its
mouth was open over Jaune. It's kind of like
biting into him. And Jaune just like looking
into the mouth, kind of like turns away from
him, turns down that maw into the blackness of
that maw that wants to consume him. And he sees
a shining, singing blade rip through flesh in
the throat, between the eyes, into the mouth
as a shark. coughs up blood from somewhere deep
within and just sinks, sinks below the waves
of sorts, sliding cleanly out. One Sahuagin and
the champion left. Holy shit. Oh my gosh. Okay,
that's my champion. And he looks really bummed.
No, my favorite shark. Oliver! Oliver? I'm killing
you! Jean is still in serious danger, though,
even with this one Sahagin. Reattacks on Blanche.
Wait. Wait, the champion goes before Blanche?
Wait. Wait. I don't need to attack Blanche. Fucking
hell. When you brought Chew over here, you brought
yourself and the champion over here. Blanche,
you have been invincible. I'd be an idiot. A
fool. Danny's pulling me down. She's just going
through my cord and yanking me down. I fixed
it. Where was I? Where was I, Danny? Before you
so rudely interrupted? You were being sick and
twisted. Right. I'd be an idiot. A fool. Wait,
did we skip Chester? No. I thought Chester went
after the shark. The shark just died. Right.
The champion goes with the shark, and the champion
hasn't gone this round yet. Oh. Yes, because
Blanche goes, that's the champion shark. Okay.
The shark died, so I'm not going to be a cool,
nasty bloke there. But Malar would be an idiot,
a fool, to try to strike at Blanche again. But
he sees the gold of that spear, and he realizes,
What is this little treasure? Mayhaps I will
fall here. Mayhaps the blood of this torture
will never taste. I messed up the line. Mayhaps.
The blood of this turtle will never be tasted
by my God. But it nonetheless shall be spilled.
He's going to move. Diving into the water. So
within five feet, still staying close, kind of
weaves down sort of beneath you very carefully,
spinning towards the injured Jaune. That's sick.
That is sick. Jaune looks to you. Blanche, you've...
Saved him from the shark. But perhaps the greatest
danger is yet to overcome him. The wave is crashing
down. Will the new king fall? The champion's
spear raises. You see his fins react to the blood.
His eyes go wide and wild. He grins widely. And
he makes three attacks on the injured Jean Franklin.
And we'll call it there.
