00:00:02.050 --> 00:00:04.870
Hello again, pants people. Do you think you might

00:00:04.870 --> 00:00:07.250
be interested in a loosely Dungeons & Dragons

00:00:07.250 --> 00:00:10.349
podcast where the DM can hardly control the players?

00:00:11.029 --> 00:00:17.949
Check out Flip of Fate. Let's kiss this guy.

00:00:21.670 --> 00:00:26.190
You have a date lined up. I know, I know. Sorry,

00:00:26.390 --> 00:00:31.200
I was just so desperate. He's hot. I know. Yeah,

00:00:31.200 --> 00:00:37.439
he's half horse. The better half. What you just

00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:39.719
heard was a clip from our latest episode. We

00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:41.880

00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:45.780

00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:57.740
F -L -I -P -O -F -F -A -T -E. Thank you guys

00:00:57.740 --> 00:01:49.930
so much. While his origin had pushed Jai into

00:01:49.930 --> 00:01:52.250
the spotlight as a luminary, his reputation swiftly

00:01:52.250 --> 00:01:54.569
and completely changed. Seemingly overnight,

00:01:54.890 --> 00:01:57.090
the noble baron of the war hero was replaced

00:01:57.090 --> 00:02:00.329
by the persona of a showy, shallow playboy, more

00:02:00.329 --> 00:02:02.930
interested in fun and flirtations than in continued

00:02:02.930 --> 00:02:05.390
heroics. Not that Jai and his crew haven't saved

00:02:05.390 --> 00:02:07.310
that fish here of lives following the Civil War.

00:02:07.469 --> 00:02:09.770
They have. Heads of Jai's efforts have placed

00:02:09.770 --> 00:02:12.129
him as number six in the ranks of luminaries.

00:02:12.229 --> 00:02:14.409
One of the big hitters, as they say. Actually,

00:02:14.430 --> 00:02:16.669
number five now. Actually, with the big man's

00:02:16.669 --> 00:02:19.310
removal. Jai and his sidekicks are still some

00:02:19.310 --> 00:02:22.009
of the greatest heroes we've known, but they

00:02:22.009 --> 00:02:23.729
just carry themselves in a very different way.

00:02:24.169 --> 00:02:26.650
Jai has become known for his impressive consumption

00:02:26.650 --> 00:02:29.710
of alcohol and alchemical substances, and constant

00:02:29.710 --> 00:02:31.930
whirlwind romances that end as fast as they begin.

00:02:32.370 --> 00:02:34.530
Jai is also taken to incredibly long, elaborate,

00:02:34.629 --> 00:02:37.789
expensive parties at Handsome House, the name

00:02:37.789 --> 00:02:40.599
given to his penthouse in Aurora Town. In this

00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:42.360
scene, Jai and his slackers take on the moniker

00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:44.900
of party lords, each overseeing one crucial element

00:02:44.900 --> 00:02:47.599
of their celebrations, dance, stupor, games,

00:02:47.699 --> 00:02:50.439
and love. The story of handsome Jai is certainly

00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.139
one of twists, and there are many that absolutely

00:02:53.139 --> 00:02:56.020
adore the half -elf because of his newfound manner.

00:02:56.620 --> 00:02:59.120
But I think the question remains, what persona

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.439
lies buried at the heart of this fanciful, fun

00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:08.439
-loving figure? One button to either of you.

00:03:08.939 --> 00:03:12.240
that can name four of the now top five luminary.

00:03:12.300 --> 00:03:14.319
Dude, you know what's so weird? I was going to

00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:16.500
ask you. I was going to be like, who are the

00:03:16.500 --> 00:03:19.080
top five luminaries? Can you guess? One button,

00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:22.159
you can name the top four of the top five. Two

00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:23.919
buttons, anyone can name all five because one

00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:25.379
of them has barely been mentioned in the show.

00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:28.780
Hold on. We're at our max three buttons apiece.

00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:33.159
You are? Yeah. You know what? I'll save these

00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:34.340
buttons. I'll give them to you when you hit your

00:03:34.340 --> 00:03:36.740
mouse. I'll let you have it. I'll let you have

00:03:36.740 --> 00:03:38.729
it. Okay. Because I don't think you can do it.

00:03:39.129 --> 00:03:42.110
I can't do it. All right. We know two of them.

00:03:42.650 --> 00:03:45.770
Atash is number one. Yeah, I want their placement.

00:03:46.169 --> 00:03:48.370
Oh, God. I want their placement, too. Oh, well,

00:03:48.469 --> 00:03:50.610
then that's pretty much impossible. Atash is

00:03:50.610 --> 00:03:56.889
number one. Handsome Jai is number five. Fuling...

00:03:56.889 --> 00:04:00.370
Is it Fuling Mei? She's got to be in there somewhere.

00:04:00.789 --> 00:04:03.889
It's close. It's close enough. Fuliling. Fuliling.

00:04:04.389 --> 00:04:06.349
Close enough. She's got to be in there somewhere.

00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:15.719
Hmm. I mean, no more Pigman. No more Ozen. What's

00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:18.819
his name? Mosquito Boy. Is he in there? Mosquito

00:04:18.819 --> 00:04:22.500
Boy's in there. You have four names now, right?

00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:25.899
Yep, I've got four names. Give me numbers. Number

00:04:25.899 --> 00:04:28.060
one is Atash. Number five is Jai. I'm going to

00:04:28.060 --> 00:04:32.500
say number four is Sturgeman. I'm going to say...

00:04:32.500 --> 00:04:38.759
So... Fuliling. Whatever has to be number three.

00:04:39.459 --> 00:04:44.240
Who's number two? Oh, God. I don't know. You're

00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.459
incorrect, Jeremy. Can you pick up where you

00:04:46.459 --> 00:04:49.560
left off and fix this? No. All right, then. No

00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:51.379
buttons. I'll tell you. I'm going to feel so

00:04:51.379 --> 00:04:55.060
stupid when he says who it is. Number one, Atash,

00:04:55.139 --> 00:04:57.459
Hand of the Sunweaver. Number two is actually

00:04:57.459 --> 00:05:01.139
Foo Lilling the Teapot. Previously, number three

00:05:01.139 --> 00:05:03.019
was the Mighty Pigman. No longer the case. Number

00:05:03.019 --> 00:05:06.379
three actually now is Sturgeman. He was number

00:05:06.379 --> 00:05:09.959
four. He's bumped up. Number five, and this is

00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:11.199
the tricky one, actually, no, number four, sorry,

00:05:11.420 --> 00:05:13.800
was five. This is the tricky one, only mentioned

00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:17.800
once, is the Wildfire Druid, Zopa Reborn. Oh,

00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:20.939
yeah. I don't feel stupid. Episode four mentioned,

00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.540
honestly, really cool character I'm super excited

00:05:23.540 --> 00:05:26.639
about, but not in the show yet. And then, of

00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.459
course, number five, was six, is Handsome Jai,

00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.139
who is a character I never really expected to

00:05:32.139 --> 00:05:35.519
get into, and then Steven bullied me. Stephen

00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:38.639
was like, Stephen was like, oh, Sturgeman, you

00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.160
must know other people, surely, that know Rune.

00:05:41.620 --> 00:05:44.139
Surely, as the world's greatest detective, you

00:05:44.139 --> 00:05:47.379
must know. And now, here we are. Yeah, fuck me

00:05:47.379 --> 00:05:51.439
for, like, playing the game and trying to gather

00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:53.860
information. Now you're doing a dance -off, that

00:05:53.860 --> 00:05:58.319
information. Prepare to dance! Because we went

00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.060
off on a tangent here, but honestly, this is

00:06:00.060 --> 00:06:03.180
great. It's fun to have fun. Things have been

00:06:03.180 --> 00:06:06.540
really bleak and dark and kind of grim. And I'll

00:06:06.540 --> 00:06:07.959
tell you right now, the next arc we're going

00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:10.079
to get into is some real bleak, supernatural,

00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.399
horror, mystery shit that I'm really excited

00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:15.519
about. But I think some levity is in order before

00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.100
we get into that because you guys are going to

00:06:17.100 --> 00:06:19.459
feel very scared and sad a lot when we hit that

00:06:19.459 --> 00:06:22.500
point. So let's have fun. You guys want to have

00:06:22.500 --> 00:06:26.920
fun? Yeah. How about here's one more time for

00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.500
fun. One more time for fun. Let's have fun one

00:06:29.500 --> 00:06:32.620
last time here at Fantasy Pants. On the note

00:06:32.620 --> 00:06:35.139
of Handsome Jai, this ridiculous character, I

00:06:35.139 --> 00:06:36.740
want to speak of another ridiculous character.

00:06:37.980 --> 00:06:39.779
It's basically Valentine's Day as we're recording

00:06:39.779 --> 00:06:42.759
here. So I want to tell a quick tale about my

00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:45.759
darling wife. Okay. All right. Steven, you already

00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:47.379
know this. I went to this deal the other day.

00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.480
Jeremy, this is fresh for you. It's good. I want

00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:53.360
one fresh reaction here because this is so ridiculous.

00:06:54.339 --> 00:06:57.550
Went to Burger King recently. We each got. That's

00:06:57.550 --> 00:07:00.870
ridiculous. Hang on. It gets worse. It gets worse.

00:07:00.949 --> 00:07:02.850
You know, we have to drive through. We ordered

00:07:02.850 --> 00:07:05.029
a bunch of crap. I got a big fish sandwich. She

00:07:05.029 --> 00:07:07.850
got an impossible burger. She's vegetarian. They

00:07:07.850 --> 00:07:09.790
asked afterwards, like, hey, you know, do you

00:07:09.790 --> 00:07:11.569
want a cookie for two cookies for a dollar? It's

00:07:11.569 --> 00:07:12.810
like, yeah, of course we want two keys for a

00:07:12.810 --> 00:07:15.329
dollar. We're not we're not idiots who wouldn't

00:07:15.329 --> 00:07:17.990
say no to that. Nobody has ever said no to that.

00:07:18.250 --> 00:07:21.319
So we get the cookies. We go driving. I eat my

00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:23.680
sandwich. I eat it in two seconds flat because

00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.379
that's how I eat. And she hands me the bag with

00:07:26.379 --> 00:07:28.240
a cookie and I reach in. I'm like, oh, no, darling,

00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:32.139
there's only one cookie. And she said, oh, don't

00:07:32.139 --> 00:07:34.279
worry about it. I looked at her with a, you know,

00:07:34.300 --> 00:07:37.839
don't worry about it. And she looks at me kind

00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:41.180
of awkwardly, looks at her. burger in her hand

00:07:41.180 --> 00:07:43.980
oh my god and says don't worry about it oh my

00:07:43.980 --> 00:07:46.579
god reveals that the cookie is on her impossible

00:07:46.579 --> 00:07:48.819
burger with ketchup and mustard and who knows

00:07:48.819 --> 00:07:51.759
what else with pickles a chocolate chip cookie

00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:53.980
and she was like oh yeah it's such a delicious

00:07:53.980 --> 00:07:56.240
i discovered it once it's so delicious what is

00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.040
that i discovered it once i wonder what happened

00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:02.439
about um 45 minutes before she discovered it

00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:08.889
once I didn't remember that part of the story.

00:08:08.949 --> 00:08:13.009
Oh, yeah, I discovered this once. Like, what

00:08:13.009 --> 00:08:15.730
are you doing? So, I don't know. That blew me

00:08:15.730 --> 00:08:17.790
away. That is my wife. She is the most ridiculous

00:08:17.790 --> 00:08:20.470
human I know. Jeremy, is that ridiculous? I'd

00:08:20.470 --> 00:08:24.889
try a bite. I'm going to guess. It sounds gross,

00:08:25.050 --> 00:08:28.730
but... Yeah, it sounds terribly gross. I'd try

00:08:28.730 --> 00:08:31.050
a bite. I'm going to guess that there's a huge

00:08:31.050 --> 00:08:34.309
subculture, or at least an existing subculture,

00:08:34.409 --> 00:08:38.320
of that sort of, like... menu hacking at fast

00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:41.259
food. Like, Oh, if you take the, yeah, this thing

00:08:41.259 --> 00:08:43.120
at Wendy's and you mix it with the, that, and

00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.379
you put the fries in this, there's probably like

00:08:46.379 --> 00:08:49.039
a whole, I bet. Yeah. A whole culture like that.

00:08:49.419 --> 00:08:52.740
Well, let them know, put a cookie on a impossible

00:08:52.740 --> 00:08:55.720
burger at Burger King and you're good. You're

00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:58.019
golden. Are secret menus still a thing? Can you

00:08:58.019 --> 00:08:59.759
go into the rest, into a restaurant and be like,

00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:01.919
Hey, give me the cookie burger. Give me the cookie

00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:06.120
burger. Exactly. Craving that cookie burger.

00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:12.539
Have you guys got any ridiculous, you know, cute

00:09:12.539 --> 00:09:17.220
couple moments? Hold on. No, not really. But

00:09:17.220 --> 00:09:21.740
that would be a fantastic, like, pet name. Cookie

00:09:21.740 --> 00:09:24.399
Burger. Cookie Burger. Oh, my gosh. Oh, we're

00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.740
going for it. Dude. Nice. I'm going to change

00:09:26.740 --> 00:09:30.100
her name in the Discord to Cookie Burger. We're

00:09:30.100 --> 00:09:36.500
going to do it tonight. Amazing. Amazing. No

00:09:36.500 --> 00:09:39.139
follow -up stories? Any crazy food takes? You

00:09:39.139 --> 00:09:41.460
want to just get into the shit? Oh, man. Yeah.

00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.840
No, I can't. I mean, you know. Don't want to

00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:46.220
get in trouble? I'll share this. You don't want

00:09:46.220 --> 00:09:47.279
to get in trouble? I'll share this. All right.

00:09:48.340 --> 00:09:52.940
It's incredibly weird. My least, probably my

00:09:52.940 --> 00:09:55.740
least favorite thing about my wife. She doesn't

00:09:55.740 --> 00:09:58.860
like maple syrup. Huh. Doesn't like maple syrup.

00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:01.220
That is weird. Could you imagine? That is strange.

00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:04.100
I think that's weirder than not liking chocolate.

00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:07.220
She also loves pickles. Enough to go to a pickle

00:10:07.220 --> 00:10:09.419
festival every year. And you hate pickles. You

00:10:09.419 --> 00:10:11.019
despise them. She didn't go to the pickle festival

00:10:11.019 --> 00:10:14.159
last year. We're winding down with the pickles.

00:10:14.259 --> 00:10:16.080
There was a point in time where I had probably

00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.860
four or five jars of different pickles in the

00:10:18.860 --> 00:10:20.899
refrigerator. And then it got to the point where

00:10:20.899 --> 00:10:23.139
I was like, that pickle jar has been in there

00:10:23.139 --> 00:10:26.139
for a really long time. So I think she wore herself

00:10:26.139 --> 00:10:30.039
out with pickles. Gotcha. But yeah, not liking

00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.370
maple syrup to me is like, It's almost like saying

00:10:32.370 --> 00:10:34.529
I don't like sweet things. It's pretty wild.

00:10:34.730 --> 00:10:38.049
Because it's like sugar, but better. I don't

00:10:38.049 --> 00:10:41.230
know. I don't get it. Dip pickles in maple syrup.

00:10:41.250 --> 00:10:43.289
Stop. Get out. I know it's your apartment, but

00:10:43.289 --> 00:10:47.070
get the fuck out. I have never done that. I'm

00:10:47.070 --> 00:10:49.009
just continuing the cookie burger craziness.

00:10:49.009 --> 00:10:50.809
It's got to be on a super menu somewhere. Yeah,

00:10:50.889 --> 00:10:53.529
of course. Somewhere you go into a fast food

00:10:53.529 --> 00:10:55.950
joint. You're like, oh, yeah. Dip my pickles

00:10:55.950 --> 00:10:58.029
in maple syrup. Gabby has tried it, I'm sure.

00:11:00.070 --> 00:11:06.460
I'm sure. But yeah. Happy almost Valentine's

00:11:06.460 --> 00:11:08.220
Day. It'll be like a week after at this point.

00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:11.899
Like three days after. Oh, this is the 17th one.

00:11:12.019 --> 00:11:15.840
Oh, okay. Hi, happy Valentine's Day. See, this

00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.259
is the day. The day of release. This is the day

00:11:18.259 --> 00:11:19.440
you go to the fancy restaurant because it's going

00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:22.539
to be empty. Nobody wants to go have a fancy

00:11:22.539 --> 00:11:24.940
dinner on Monday. Everyone's going on Friday.

00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:28.320
If you're smart, maybe you'll go on Thursday.

00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.519
A couple people on Saturday. Hey, we're going

00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:33.379
on Friday, but we've got reservations. Yeah,

00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:35.399
exactly. If you're really smart, you have reservations.

00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:37.259
Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they're still

00:11:37.259 --> 00:11:39.399
going to pack as many tables into there as they

00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:42.379
can. True. Wait, where are you going? True. We're

00:11:42.379 --> 00:11:44.179
going to the Beale House. Nice. That's great.

00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:45.500
Keep it chill. I haven't been to the Beale House

00:11:45.500 --> 00:11:48.240
in a long time. Same, same. Non -spawn. Speaking

00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:50.620
of smart over here, you've got some nice, new,

00:11:50.700 --> 00:11:53.820
sleek nerd glasses going. Thanks. I like those

00:11:53.820 --> 00:11:56.039
things. Thanks. Little black frames. What? What

00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.799
did you say? What? Those black frames. Oh, you

00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:00.919
see, I couldn't hear what you said. I gave him

00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:02.379
shit because he didn't notice them yesterday,

00:12:02.500 --> 00:12:03.879
and then he said he's got a passive perception

00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.700
of zero. Hey, Jeremy. And a minus in dexterity,

00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:10.820
apparently. Hey, Jeremy. Want to be my valentine?

00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:15.559
I've spoken for. Damn. Once my cookie burger

00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:19.799
is tossed aside. I think it's valentime to get

00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:21.659
this party rolling. Ooh, give me that button.

00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:26.169
Oh, smooth. That's horrible. Let's get this party

00:12:26.169 --> 00:12:29.110
rolling. Let's literally get this party rolling.

00:12:29.990 --> 00:12:33.149
Boom, hit that music. Thank you so much, Fancy

00:12:33.149 --> 00:12:35.029
Plus. I used it last time, but I love this track.

00:12:35.149 --> 00:12:37.070
It's a really cool track. We'll go along with

00:12:37.070 --> 00:12:38.330
this track because we're never going to have

00:12:38.330 --> 00:12:40.250
an excuse to play this again in our fantasy show.

00:12:40.529 --> 00:12:42.370
We barely have an excuse right now, let's be

00:12:42.370 --> 00:12:49.139
honest. Where we left off. uh you had just spoken

00:12:49.139 --> 00:12:52.159
to sexy avon one of jai's three sidekicks known

00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.600
as the party lords here uh and he basically implied

00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:57.399
hey you want to get into the vip room you want

00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:00.299
to see what's going on there where things are

00:13:00.299 --> 00:13:02.639
really happening you're gonna need to impress

00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:05.399
the three party lords You took that. You went

00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.740
off to the dance floor. You really started quite

00:13:07.740 --> 00:13:11.059
the show. You got Akio hasted. You got some sort

00:13:11.059 --> 00:13:14.519
of magical mist going. You got some helping with

00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:16.659
Mage Hand, having him spinning around when he

00:13:16.659 --> 00:13:19.700
fell. And the people got wowed. You rolled a

00:13:19.700 --> 00:13:21.460
couple 20s there with some really good rolls.

00:13:22.179 --> 00:13:25.019
You drew the attention of one of the party lords,

00:13:25.100 --> 00:13:28.120
Yuan -Ti, Snake Lady, who was up on the stage

00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:30.899
really kind of going hard, dancing, sweating.

00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:34.860
And yet her groove stopped when she saw that

00:13:34.860 --> 00:13:37.440
display. She came sling -thring, slithering,

00:13:37.539 --> 00:13:39.539
slinking, slithering. Slinkering. Slinkering

00:13:39.539 --> 00:13:45.440
down to meet you and challenged your dog to a

00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:52.379
dance -off. That's my dog! So let's pick this

00:13:52.379 --> 00:13:54.799
up right there. I'm not going to make a huge

00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:56.360
show of this. I'm going to say I had an idea

00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:57.679
for this in my mind when you came over here,

00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:00.529
right? I wanted to do kind of a two out of three

00:14:00.529 --> 00:14:02.750
competition. You're going to choose what you

00:14:02.750 --> 00:14:04.210
want to roll, essentially, because you're going

00:14:04.210 --> 00:14:05.250
to choose how you're going to beef yourselves

00:14:05.250 --> 00:14:07.909
up to make this look good, right? You already

00:14:07.909 --> 00:14:09.909
kind of got in the spirit of that. You cast haste.

00:14:09.909 --> 00:14:11.970
You did cool things. You rolled really well.

00:14:12.590 --> 00:14:14.590
I'm going to go into this two out of three with

00:14:14.590 --> 00:14:17.769
you already at one. Whoa -wee, wow. The crowd's

00:14:17.769 --> 00:14:20.549
already going. You are hot. And so when they

00:14:20.549 --> 00:14:22.549
step up, when she steps up, and her backup names

00:14:22.549 --> 00:14:26.250
come with her, you're in a good spot. The crowd's

00:14:26.250 --> 00:14:29.500
into you. I think she picks up right here. I

00:14:29.500 --> 00:14:32.320
think she kind of just immediately slides back

00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:35.100
following those words like, take a load of this.

00:14:36.259 --> 00:14:39.080
And she slides right back to her backup dancers.

00:14:39.139 --> 00:14:40.940
They pick her up and they just see this whole

00:14:40.940 --> 00:14:43.759
beautiful, you know, obviously choreographed.

00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:45.659
They probably have a number of these dance kind

00:14:45.659 --> 00:14:48.539
of like, you know, hands up. She's slurring between

00:14:48.539 --> 00:14:52.320
them, rolling down to the floor. Incredible display.

00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:54.019
I think there's some break dancing there too.

00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:55.639
Don't get too crazy about it. I'm going to roll

00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:56.740
a die and we'll see how that's going to look.

00:14:57.289 --> 00:15:00.090
All right. All right. Get that port of pain over

00:15:00.090 --> 00:15:04.629
here. We can really hear it. It's a good show.

00:15:05.009 --> 00:15:08.789
Crowd is going crazy. Uh, I think he's kind of

00:15:08.789 --> 00:15:10.970
ends off with like, like you guys are watching.

00:15:11.049 --> 00:15:12.889
We cut to your cameras. You're like all amazing.

00:15:13.870 --> 00:15:18.330
And then, uh, we just cut back and she's sliding

00:15:18.330 --> 00:15:21.330
across the floor on her, on her, uh, elbow, uh,

00:15:21.549 --> 00:15:25.850
and her snake waist just slides up right before

00:15:25.850 --> 00:15:30.250
you. Winks. Let's see what you've got. I'm going

00:15:30.250 --> 00:15:33.049
to tell you right now, that was a 17 for me.

00:15:33.490 --> 00:15:35.250
Wait, actually, I'm sorry. That was advantage

00:15:35.250 --> 00:15:39.250
because I have help action for my backup. Still

00:15:39.250 --> 00:15:42.090
a 17. Okay. One of them dropped me. That's going

00:15:42.090 --> 00:15:44.070
to be tough to beat. It's going to be tough.

00:15:44.070 --> 00:15:46.610
Can you come back? So, boom, crowd looks over

00:15:46.610 --> 00:15:51.370
at you. Ooh, what's going to happen? Now you

00:15:51.370 --> 00:15:53.450
can do this however you want. You can roll a

00:15:53.450 --> 00:15:54.750
straight -up performance check. If you want to

00:15:54.750 --> 00:15:57.190
just groove, you can start casting spells for

00:15:57.190 --> 00:15:59.250
advantage. You can do weird things, and you can

00:15:59.250 --> 00:16:01.350
make a different show of it, use different skills.

00:16:01.490 --> 00:16:03.429
You sell it to me. This is like Blades in the

00:16:03.429 --> 00:16:05.230
Dark right now. You sell me what you want to

00:16:05.230 --> 00:16:08.389
do. Okay, and is it just Akio, or is it like...

00:16:08.389 --> 00:16:09.649
Yeah, that's what I was going to ask, because

00:16:09.649 --> 00:16:12.730
this is right up Jules' alley. I mean, Akio was

00:16:12.730 --> 00:16:14.629
the one challenge, but I think it's okay if you

00:16:14.629 --> 00:16:16.370
guys step in too. There's a group there, right?

00:16:16.870 --> 00:16:19.659
Sure. Make Akio a part of it. That's all I ask.

00:16:19.820 --> 00:16:21.820
Yeah, yeah. Get a Kyo involved. Yeah, I just

00:16:21.820 --> 00:16:24.320
wasn't sure if people are allowed to cast spells

00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:29.980
on a Kyo. She's really good. We're off. We should

00:16:29.980 --> 00:16:34.100
give up. Oh, goodness. So here's what I'm thinking.

00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:36.519
Okay. I have an idea, and I'm hoping it goes

00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:38.519
along with what you're thinking. I love ideas.

00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:42.179
Just do your thing first, and I'll fit my ideas

00:16:42.179 --> 00:16:43.879
into what you're thinking. Yeah, I'll tell you

00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:46.840
what I think Kyo should do. Okay. I like the...

00:16:47.580 --> 00:16:53.299
the quick sheath trait that Akio has. And I want

00:16:53.299 --> 00:16:57.960
to see if there's maybe like a bottle lying around

00:16:57.960 --> 00:16:59.720
or something. I don't know if we're close to

00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:01.940
the bar. There's bottles everywhere. Sure, yeah,

00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:04.160
yeah. This is a handsome house. A bottle falls

00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:05.859
to the second floor right in front of you. Okay,

00:17:05.900 --> 00:17:08.819
great. I want to have Akio use his quick sheath

00:17:08.819 --> 00:17:12.750
trait to do like... like, fancy bartender juggles

00:17:12.750 --> 00:17:14.269
sort of thing. You know what I mean? He's, like,

00:17:14.269 --> 00:17:16.829
flipping the bottle around, and it's, like, going

00:17:16.829 --> 00:17:20.349
in the air, and he lands it on his nose like

00:17:20.349 --> 00:17:22.269
a dog with, like, a treat. You know what I mean?

00:17:22.450 --> 00:17:23.910
Ooh, what is this going to roll? Because that's

00:17:23.910 --> 00:17:25.009
going to... You're going to need to roll pretty

00:17:25.009 --> 00:17:28.029
good to get that exact effect. Yeah, for sure.

00:17:28.269 --> 00:17:30.069
Can you do anything to help him? Any way of,

00:17:30.130 --> 00:17:32.210
like, enhancing him or, like, backing him up?

00:17:32.410 --> 00:17:33.869
Jules can. Jules can. What do you got, Jules?

00:17:33.869 --> 00:17:35.230
Jules can. Excellent. This is where I'm fitting

00:17:35.230 --> 00:17:37.150
in. So he's already been doing, like, little

00:17:37.150 --> 00:17:38.930
lights and stuff from the side from his loot.

00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:40.680
But I think what he's going to do is he's going

00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:44.359
to use performance of creation to create a disco

00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:48.559
ball directly above Akio. It follows him wherever

00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:52.859
he moves. And then Jules is then going to actually

00:17:52.859 --> 00:17:57.619
use the broom of flying to fly up to the disco

00:17:57.619 --> 00:18:00.619
ball and sit on top of it and put his loot to

00:18:00.619 --> 00:18:04.089
the side. Oh my god. And light it up blue and

00:18:04.089 --> 00:18:07.369
it just shines everywhere down. That's hot. That's

00:18:07.369 --> 00:18:09.869
really hot. And he's just going to stay there

00:18:09.869 --> 00:18:11.990
for the duration of this. What I want for this

00:18:11.990 --> 00:18:13.170
actually, just like last time. Because Akio seems

00:18:13.170 --> 00:18:15.890
to be doing pretty damn well. Just like last

00:18:15.890 --> 00:18:17.430
time, rather than doing advantage, I want you

00:18:17.430 --> 00:18:19.369
to roll something and I want Akio to roll something.

00:18:19.789 --> 00:18:21.250
Blanche, do you have anything to do to back Akio

00:18:21.250 --> 00:18:23.009
up to give him advantage or help action on this?

00:18:23.390 --> 00:18:27.029
Or Jules. She certainly wants to maintain concentration

00:18:27.029 --> 00:18:29.920
on haste, right? Does that any help at all? Oh,

00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:33.099
right. Yeah, of course. You know what? That fits

00:18:33.099 --> 00:18:34.240
really well with what you're doing. Okay, give

00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:36.839
me a Kyo. I think for this, you can tell me if

00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:38.079
I'm wrong, I think this sounds like Performance

00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:41.839
or Sleight of Hand. One's Charisma, one's Dexterity.

00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:44.859
You can pick either of those for a Kyo. Yeah,

00:18:45.019 --> 00:18:46.859
I like Sleight of Hand. That makes a lot of sense.

00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:49.200
Sleight of Mouth. Sleight of Paw. Sleight of

00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:52.799
Snoot. Sleight of Snoot. Sleight of Snoot. There

00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:54.299
you go. You almost got a button for that one.

00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:57.700
Oh, man, give me that button. Okay. I think in

00:18:57.700 --> 00:18:59.140
your case, this sounds like performance to me.

00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:04.559
Perfect. Hell yeah. That's a 23 for Jules. Holy

00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:07.740
shit. Wow. Do I get Sleight of Snoot with advantage

00:19:07.740 --> 00:19:10.680
for haste? You do. You're a spell going. I'm

00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:12.559
fine with that. I don't think I'm going to need

00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:16.579
it. Oh, my gosh. Oh, wait. No, you said 21. Oh.

00:19:16.700 --> 00:19:19.500
Oh. First roll was a 17. Second roll is a 19.

00:19:19.740 --> 00:19:23.299
Oh, my gosh. 22. I put on a good show, but I

00:19:23.299 --> 00:19:26.200
only got a 17 in the end. Oh, why did I think

00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:28.900
you had a 21? No, you guys blew me away. Hell

00:19:28.900 --> 00:19:31.559
yeah. That was 17 on the die, man. Highly magical.

00:19:31.640 --> 00:19:34.339
I mean, she had great moves, but they were traditional.

00:19:34.700 --> 00:19:36.599
She had the backup dancer. She didn't bring in

00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:38.980
the magic. You guys brought the flair. You brought

00:19:38.980 --> 00:19:41.180
the pop. You came in a couple of fucking luminaries

00:19:41.180 --> 00:19:44.279
in the crowd. Absolutely. What you said, that

00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:47.380
happens. Bottle lands on the top. Akio, when

00:19:47.380 --> 00:19:49.670
it lands on the top, he just... Gets really into

00:19:49.670 --> 00:19:51.529
it. You see just chucks it up. It turns upside

00:19:51.529 --> 00:19:55.069
down. It lands in his mouth, and he glows Party

00:19:55.069 --> 00:19:59.690
dog! He spits it out like, I should not have

00:19:59.690 --> 00:20:07.250
done that. Jules, you're just up there. The light

00:20:07.250 --> 00:20:09.769
show is incredible. People just start raving

00:20:09.769 --> 00:20:14.150
hard under that light. Cute Callie just kind

00:20:14.150 --> 00:20:16.109
of, I think she's still kind of lying in that

00:20:16.109 --> 00:20:18.549
position. Eyebrows raised. She kind of puts her

00:20:18.549 --> 00:20:20.609
hands up and essentially surrenders. That's two

00:20:20.609 --> 00:20:22.589
out of three. That's two out of three. Hell yeah.

00:20:22.650 --> 00:20:29.150
You got me. That was impressive. She's kind of

00:20:29.150 --> 00:20:33.549
kicking you in. nodding smiling the backup dancers

00:20:33.549 --> 00:20:36.130
are kind of moving away kind of backing up giving

00:20:36.130 --> 00:20:38.009
you guys some space and you feel a presence kind

00:20:38.009 --> 00:20:40.950
of move up behind you suddenly uh two hands kind

00:20:40.950 --> 00:20:43.410
of wrap around your shoulders kind of like in

00:20:43.410 --> 00:20:45.309
a friendly arms on the shoulder kind of kind

00:20:45.309 --> 00:20:48.829
of you know position and you see sexy av and

00:20:48.829 --> 00:20:52.450
the lizard folk just kind of callie these two

00:20:52.450 --> 00:20:55.630
are looking to get into the vip room apparently

00:20:55.630 --> 00:20:59.269
they're friends with yara in this sort of moment

00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:03.039
She kind of nods and smiles and very friendly.

00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:09.279
Well, I suppose they have my blessing. I think

00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:13.539
they've proved themselves VIP enough. I thought

00:21:13.539 --> 00:21:17.059
the same, though. I do have a little game of

00:21:17.059 --> 00:21:19.200
my own I'm setting up right now. Only fair I

00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:22.900
get to have my shot, too. So, sounds like you

00:21:22.900 --> 00:21:24.980
just need to visit Floudfember, partylord of

00:21:24.980 --> 00:21:28.339
stupor. He won't ask for much. Then come find

00:21:28.339 --> 00:21:30.440
me back in my games corner where we met before.

00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:34.940
That sounds reasonable, right? Very well. Let's

00:21:34.940 --> 00:21:42.680
go get stupid. I see Akio sort of limping as

00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:50.299
he walks. Like, oh, I pulled everything. I think

00:21:50.299 --> 00:21:53.779
haste wears off now. He's just like, I'm so tired.

00:21:54.580 --> 00:21:56.680
Akia, why don't you go wait under the game table?

00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:01.319
I will go. I think we can handle this. Yes. Sort

00:22:01.319 --> 00:22:04.519
of limps, stumbles away back towards that corner

00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:08.240
of the room, leaving the two of you. You remember

00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:10.359
there was a room when you walked in kind of closer

00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:12.200
to the entrance where kind of off to the side

00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:15.309
where a lot of people were just kind of. vegging

00:22:15.309 --> 00:22:17.029
out, we'll say, on a number of couches lying

00:22:17.029 --> 00:22:18.650
in the room. It seemed a lot more of a calm,

00:22:18.849 --> 00:22:21.369
weirdly calm atmosphere in there. I think it

00:22:21.369 --> 00:22:24.329
was like a sparkling haze almost running out

00:22:24.329 --> 00:22:29.410
of that room. Some odd smells. I think that's

00:22:29.410 --> 00:22:32.450
the direction Avan points, and then kind of nods

00:22:32.450 --> 00:22:35.930
to Callie. Then again, something kind of unspoken

00:22:35.930 --> 00:22:37.190
between them, and they kind of break off. She

00:22:37.190 --> 00:22:38.789
goes back to the stage, and he goes back to his

00:22:38.789 --> 00:22:42.269
corner, kind of following the kind of worst -for

00:22:42.269 --> 00:22:46.900
-wear Akio. Leaving you to your next task. Follow

00:22:46.900 --> 00:22:50.460
your nose? Yeah. You begin to move across the

00:22:50.460 --> 00:22:52.740
floor. As you do, you feel another presence kind

00:22:52.740 --> 00:22:54.539
of suddenly just appears out of the crowd right

00:22:54.539 --> 00:22:57.940
in front of you. Oh, hey. All right. This is

00:22:57.940 --> 00:23:01.119
crazy. Oh, man. Nope, nope. I didn't do the thing.

00:23:01.220 --> 00:23:03.440
No indulging. We're good. Look me in the eyes.

00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:06.359
Hey, eyes look clear. I'm a psychic now. I'm

00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:08.599
serious. Can you follow my finger, Chester? Yes.

00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:12.279
Hey. Slaps out of his face. Look, I got a...

00:23:12.890 --> 00:23:14.210
I've been doing some listening around, right?

00:23:16.150 --> 00:23:19.410
So, Handsome Jai, the Saiyan, he went off to

00:23:19.410 --> 00:23:21.730
his room, the VIP lounge, right? With someone

00:23:21.730 --> 00:23:24.509
known as Heather Skies. I think we know who that

00:23:24.509 --> 00:23:28.670
is. Right? Headless Skies? Heather Skies. Oh,

00:23:28.670 --> 00:23:32.769
Heather Skies. Heather... No, my accent. Heather.

00:23:33.069 --> 00:23:35.250
Heather. Heather Skies. I'm trying to say it

00:23:35.250 --> 00:23:38.549
in a way you can understand it. Heather Skies.

00:23:38.609 --> 00:23:40.150
I think we know who that is, though, right? Right?

00:23:40.990 --> 00:23:43.930
Yes, I, uh... I think we may have tipped our

00:23:43.930 --> 00:23:46.690
hand a little on that front. Well, what do you

00:23:46.690 --> 00:23:50.730
mean? Whoops. Sexy boy over there knows we're

00:23:50.730 --> 00:23:55.549
looking for Yara. Whoops. Let's see. Well, how's

00:23:55.549 --> 00:23:59.250
it going? Are we here? We're getting there. All

00:23:59.250 --> 00:24:01.170
right, what's next? What do we got to do? Is

00:24:01.170 --> 00:24:02.809
it going to be cool? That's how you're dancing?

00:24:02.970 --> 00:24:06.390
That's crazy. We've got some sort of party game

00:24:06.390 --> 00:24:11.740
to go play in the stupa room. Stupa. He kind

00:24:11.740 --> 00:24:15.480
of snaps his fingers. Floud Femba, right? He's

00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:19.940
a fairy dragon. They say he's got a... Fairy

00:24:19.940 --> 00:24:21.619
dragons normally have this breath. It's like

00:24:21.619 --> 00:24:24.279
hallucinatory, right? Makes you see things. Oh,

00:24:24.279 --> 00:24:28.720
shit. They say Floud Femba's been real upped

00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:33.420
up on some alchemical stuff from Korrigar. So

00:24:33.420 --> 00:24:36.720
his is like super, super strong. Like, you don't

00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:40.450
take it and walk away strong. Well... Jules,

00:24:40.529 --> 00:24:44.029
I think that of the two of us, I might have the

00:24:44.029 --> 00:24:47.230
higher constitution score. Yeah, you do. So...

00:24:47.230 --> 00:24:51.430
Yeah. If... Whether this goes well or poorly,

00:24:51.589 --> 00:24:55.490
I think it should be you who goes on to the game

00:24:55.490 --> 00:24:59.329
table. Maybe Chester can back you up. We'll cross

00:24:59.329 --> 00:25:02.049
that bridge when we come to it. Very well. Do

00:25:02.049 --> 00:25:04.250
your thing. Did you hear anything else about

00:25:04.250 --> 00:25:09.569
the Stupa... Master of Stupa's game? No game?

00:25:09.789 --> 00:25:12.609
He just, I don't know. He just has really gnarly

00:25:12.609 --> 00:25:15.210
breath? Well, it might be worse than that. Hmm.

00:25:16.390 --> 00:25:19.809
Very well. This game has one rule, and, uh, you

00:25:19.809 --> 00:25:20.990
know, maybe it's better if you just find out

00:25:20.990 --> 00:25:25.289
yourself. If it's a game, eh, I wouldn't call

00:25:25.289 --> 00:25:28.390
it a game. Okay, wouldn't call it a game. Oh,

00:25:28.410 --> 00:25:31.190
my God. Uh, let's see. Give me one second here

00:25:31.190 --> 00:25:32.809
to see if there's anything I can really do to

00:25:32.809 --> 00:25:35.589
buff myself. Yeah, this is, it sounds like, this

00:25:35.589 --> 00:25:39.539
could go pretty bad if you do not. Oh, shit.

00:25:39.700 --> 00:25:42.819
What? What? What do you want? I'll fight you

00:25:42.819 --> 00:25:44.400
right now in the street. No, no, no, no. Take

00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:46.819
off your shirt. Take off your pants. Oh, my God.

00:25:48.019 --> 00:25:50.400
I'm so excited. Dude, I think I'm going to cast

00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:53.539
Protection from Evil and Good on myself. What?

00:25:53.660 --> 00:25:56.240
Whoa. Until the spell ends, one willing creature

00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:58.740
is protected against certain types of creatures.

00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:02.359
One of those is Fae. Protection grants several

00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:04.460
benefits. Creatures of these types have disadvantage

00:26:04.460 --> 00:26:06.599
on attack rolls against the target, can't be

00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:09.259
charmed, frightened, or possessed by them. Oh,

00:26:09.319 --> 00:26:10.519
I thought it said poison. It says possessed.

00:26:12.220 --> 00:26:14.319
I don't know if that's going to count as kind

00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:15.640
of a charm. I'm going to count it. I'm going

00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:16.759
to count it because I think that's a really cool

00:26:16.759 --> 00:26:18.920
poll. I like that a lot. Okay, that's great.

00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:22.160
I like that a lot. Wow. What I'm looking for

00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:24.579
is creative solutions to these silly little problems

00:26:24.579 --> 00:26:26.680
I'm throwing at you. Yeah. That's a really cool

00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:29.119
one. I was hoping it was going to be a drinking

00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:33.039
game, and I was going to ask to use my amulet

00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:36.940
of the drunkard to somehow negate some of the

00:26:36.940 --> 00:26:40.640
effects. Another question, too, actually. Because

00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:43.240
this is going to be a con save. You have a way

00:26:43.240 --> 00:26:44.619
of getting advantage on it now with that, right?

00:26:44.779 --> 00:26:47.119
Sure. If you cast that, I think that would give

00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:49.460
you a plus two advantage on a con save. Or plus

00:26:49.460 --> 00:26:50.920
two to your advantage on a con save. Because

00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:53.079
I believe you have a feat that automatically

00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:54.700
gives you advantage on con saves. Am I wrong?

00:26:55.299 --> 00:26:57.700
Checking. I believe you have... Is that what

00:26:57.700 --> 00:27:02.900
resilience does? Or am I wrong? Increase the...

00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:06.819
Proficiency in constitutional saving throws.

00:27:07.420 --> 00:27:09.700
Still, that's pretty great. That's fine. She's

00:27:09.700 --> 00:27:13.380
still got a plus five. Whoa, and advantage? Yeah.

00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:16.259
If protection from good and evil is going to

00:27:16.259 --> 00:27:19.819
grant me advantage, then yeah. Hell yeah. So

00:27:19.819 --> 00:27:22.019
I tell you guys, just mosey on over to the...

00:27:22.019 --> 00:27:23.700
You mosey at parties, right? That's what you

00:27:23.700 --> 00:27:27.460
do? It's more like a swagger. Yeah. You got to

00:27:27.460 --> 00:27:29.119
have some attitude with it. All right, all right.

00:27:29.140 --> 00:27:35.410
You mosey with attitude. And move into, you know,

00:27:35.410 --> 00:27:37.390
out of the sort of main sort of raging party

00:27:37.390 --> 00:27:39.329
area. Things seem to get like weirdly quiet,

00:27:39.450 --> 00:27:41.150
almost like you hit some kind of barrier that

00:27:41.150 --> 00:27:42.769
kind of cuts down some of the noise as you sort

00:27:42.769 --> 00:27:44.569
of slide into the next room over and people are

00:27:44.569 --> 00:27:46.650
just kind of lying about, again, like a smell.

00:27:46.750 --> 00:27:48.549
It sounds like it smells weird, but it doesn't

00:27:48.549 --> 00:27:49.930
smell weird the way you're thinking, probably.

00:27:50.269 --> 00:27:54.470
It smells like cinnamon. Like this sort of nice,

00:27:54.630 --> 00:27:56.809
fluffy, sort of sugary smell as you're going

00:27:56.809 --> 00:27:59.609
through this room. It hits you, it's very fey.

00:28:00.140 --> 00:28:02.339
uh you kind of push through you see all these

00:28:02.339 --> 00:28:05.119
people getting lined up uh just again just kind

00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:08.099
of staring out into space smiling and towards

00:28:08.099 --> 00:28:09.680
the end of the room on like one sort of very

00:28:09.680 --> 00:28:13.339
regal looking couch you see this purple cat -sized

00:28:13.339 --> 00:28:18.099
dragon with blue butterfly wings uh just kind

00:28:18.099 --> 00:28:21.900
of curled up almost like a cat and as you are

00:28:21.900 --> 00:28:23.960
kind of coming the eyes sort of snap open again

00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:28.180
just eyes very red and blurred uh very vein filled

00:28:28.180 --> 00:28:34.819
and kind of Do I know you? What was his name

00:28:34.819 --> 00:28:37.519
again? Floud Fember. Floud. He doesn't get a

00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:40.460
cool thing. Yeah, cute, sexy, handsome, and just

00:28:40.460 --> 00:28:42.539
Floud Fember. He's Floud. He's Floud. It's all

00:28:42.539 --> 00:28:49.380
one word. I assume that you must be Floud, the...

00:28:49.380 --> 00:28:53.000
Floud Fember. Something of Stupa? Lord of Stupa.

00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:56.920
Lord of Stupa, yes. Show some respect. I apologize.

00:28:57.019 --> 00:28:59.160
It's a little loud out there. I couldn't quite

00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:02.599
hear. Why is it so quiet in your room here? Because

00:29:02.599 --> 00:29:05.299
I like it quiet. Okay, that's a good answer,

00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:10.200
I suppose. I meant more how, but I... Anyways,

00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:15.619
we're trying to get into the VIP lounge. Kind

00:29:15.619 --> 00:29:18.380
of nods and just, like, looks so odd of it. Kind

00:29:18.380 --> 00:29:21.400
of, like, little butterfly sort of... sort of

00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:23.920
flies up slowly right in front of your face.

00:29:24.650 --> 00:29:28.190
You want to get into the VIP round? Yes. Could

00:29:28.190 --> 00:29:33.029
you tell me how we could do that? I'll tell you

00:29:33.029 --> 00:29:36.849
how. Yeah? I'll tell you how. Uh -huh. And he

00:29:36.849 --> 00:29:40.009
flies right in front of your face. And he sort

00:29:40.009 --> 00:29:42.509
of turns upside down. There's a little dragon

00:29:42.509 --> 00:29:45.910
rumpus right in front of you. He reaches a hand

00:29:45.910 --> 00:29:47.970
through his legs towards you. One tiny little

00:29:47.970 --> 00:29:53.650
claw outstretched says, pull my finger. What

00:29:53.650 --> 00:30:04.960
the fuck? What the fuck? Pull it. Pull my finger.

00:30:07.700 --> 00:30:13.740
Blanche is a former dignitary. That's what you

00:30:13.740 --> 00:30:15.480
get for doing whatever you did. I don't remember.

00:30:16.400 --> 00:30:23.740
Oh my god. Wow. I mean, you can imagine the look

00:30:23.740 --> 00:30:28.910
of... unamusement and distaste on Blanche's face.

00:30:29.210 --> 00:30:31.329
Chester's trying so hard not to just outright

00:30:31.329 --> 00:30:34.349
laugh. He's a little bit buried into you, Jules.

00:30:38.910 --> 00:30:42.170
It's like a reflex. It's almost like a gag reflex.

00:30:42.230 --> 00:30:44.609
She's trying to turn her head away, but keep

00:30:44.609 --> 00:30:48.329
it straight at the same time. She reaches with

00:30:48.329 --> 00:30:52.349
two fingers. Do it in real life. Do it to me.

00:30:52.509 --> 00:30:56.160
To just grab. The finger. Oh my God. And lightly

00:30:56.160 --> 00:31:02.920
pull. You just catch this. Boom. Blast of sugary

00:31:02.920 --> 00:31:06.700
pink smoke. Sugary. Cinnamon. Cinnamon. Blast

00:31:06.700 --> 00:31:09.880
your nose. You just feel like, like you breathe

00:31:09.880 --> 00:31:13.900
it in and like, oh my gosh, your mind goes on

00:31:13.900 --> 00:31:18.039
a journey. You feel like you are soaring, soaring.

00:31:18.380 --> 00:31:21.779
Everything around you blurs. I need you to roll.

00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:26.039
Constitution saving throw. Con save with advantage.

00:31:26.779 --> 00:31:29.559
With advantage, yes. Because you are protected

00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:34.160
from this thing. So they like this a lot. Dirty,

00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:39.819
stinky, 20. Dirty, stinky, 20. Hell yeah. Nice.

00:31:39.859 --> 00:31:42.880
Wait a minute. Hang on a second. I think I actually

00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:47.420
wrote this down. I did. I wrote DC 20 con save.

00:31:47.500 --> 00:31:50.980
Get out of town. DC 20 con save. Holy shit. Wow.

00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:55.700
You just, this is, again, potent. This is like,

00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:58.519
yeah. For one thing, it's weird. You're seeing

00:31:58.519 --> 00:32:00.960
these people, and again, like, they were, you

00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:03.400
probably know, no, you rolled really low on your

00:32:03.400 --> 00:32:04.740
checks. You wouldn't know much about them, would

00:32:04.740 --> 00:32:07.500
you? No, it was all single digits, yeah. Yeah,

00:32:07.500 --> 00:32:11.480
so you don't know their past. Yeah. I want to

00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:15.519
ask you. When this hallucinatory gas blasts Blanche,

00:32:15.660 --> 00:32:18.779
what does she see, and what does she overcome?

00:32:19.579 --> 00:32:21.859
Whoa. Wow. What's going on in Blanche's mind?

00:32:22.019 --> 00:32:23.880
On the spot. I want to look at Blanche's psyche

00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:27.079
right now. You've dealt with so much serious

00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:29.000
stuff. Here you are at this party, and I know

00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:32.180
it's not fun and games for you, but it is some

00:32:32.180 --> 00:32:35.000
kind of levity following, I guess, some of the

00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:37.160
most traumatic moments in your entire life, and

00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:41.079
you've had a long life. You've seen Ozen's corpse.

00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:42.900
You fought with it. You killed it. You were betrayed

00:32:42.900 --> 00:32:46.779
by the king you served for years. You left your

00:32:46.779 --> 00:32:50.160
pupil, your, in many ways, one might say a surrogate

00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:54.119
son behind to journey off on your own. And what,

00:32:54.259 --> 00:32:57.640
I mean, what do you see? So there's all these

00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:03.220
flashes and the first one she sees is just De

00:33:03.220 --> 00:33:09.970
Piero's front and her new sword. Ichigenka just

00:33:09.970 --> 00:33:15.150
appears through his belly as if cut from behind

00:33:15.150 --> 00:33:18.549
and just pops out of his belly and he looks down

00:33:18.549 --> 00:33:21.009
and there's blood everywhere and Blanche can

00:33:21.009 --> 00:33:25.130
see her own face over his shoulder just malice.

00:33:25.710 --> 00:33:31.289
And then there's a flash of her returning to

00:33:31.289 --> 00:33:37.190
Ozen's training grounds and Ozen's alive this

00:33:37.190 --> 00:33:42.789
time when she goes back and he rejects her. You

00:33:42.789 --> 00:33:46.069
can't hear what's being said, but he turns her

00:33:46.069 --> 00:33:49.230
away. He's disappointed. She leaves in shame.

00:33:49.690 --> 00:33:53.430
Then there's another flash where she goes back

00:33:53.430 --> 00:33:57.009
to Nowari, back to the castle, and something

00:33:57.009 --> 00:34:01.069
horrible's happened. And she goes into the room,

00:34:01.170 --> 00:34:04.529
the chapel, the throne room, where Jeanne got

00:34:04.529 --> 00:34:08.059
married. And everybody's dead and she's frantic.

00:34:08.059 --> 00:34:10.000
She's looking for Jean and she can't find him.

00:34:10.420 --> 00:34:15.159
And then she realizes it's all, it's all hallucination

00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:17.679
and she pushes it away. Can I, can I add one

00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:19.539
thing? Air Jack, just to make my sound cool.

00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:22.059
In this moment, as you're kind of hitting all

00:34:22.059 --> 00:34:23.320
of this, you're surrounded by all of this, it's

00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:25.340
facing you as you're starting to realize the

00:34:25.340 --> 00:34:28.280
inner voice in your mind begins to realize. And

00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:33.059
I think you hear, sah, imagine the waves coming

00:34:33.059 --> 00:34:39.099
in. and bring all of it out yeah and she breathes

00:34:39.099 --> 00:34:44.679
it out and returns holy shit and you just like

00:34:44.679 --> 00:34:46.980
for you guys what you saw was Blanche hits this

00:34:46.980 --> 00:34:50.159
and for a moment like teeters backwards eyes

00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:53.039
go like my pupils dilate so far they are her

00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:55.480
eyes are full black like fucking crazy looking

00:34:55.480 --> 00:35:01.599
and then blink and your eyes return to normal

00:35:02.670 --> 00:35:06.650
And she opens her eyes slowly and sees this dragon

00:35:06.650 --> 00:35:12.070
fairy's butthole on her face. Hey, Steven. Take

00:35:12.070 --> 00:35:16.809
a button! You're already maxed. Should have used

00:35:16.809 --> 00:35:20.849
one. He does what you see behind that butthole

00:35:20.849 --> 00:35:22.929
or beneath that butthole. It's a face that's

00:35:22.929 --> 00:35:30.789
actually pretty astonished. Holy shit. Normally

00:35:30.789 --> 00:35:34.590
you'd fall over. You're pretty cool. You got

00:35:34.590 --> 00:35:36.769
my whatever blessing, whatever they're doing.

00:35:36.989 --> 00:35:38.690
And he kind of slides back down. Just tell them,

00:35:38.730 --> 00:35:42.190
do what they want. Do what they want. And he's

00:35:42.190 --> 00:35:43.670
referring to the other party lords. He just kind

00:35:43.670 --> 00:35:45.369
of slides back to sleep. He's sort of doing his

00:35:45.369 --> 00:35:49.889
thing. Blanche kind of shakes it off, rubs her

00:35:49.889 --> 00:35:54.449
face a little. Well, I somehow think that I maybe

00:35:54.449 --> 00:35:58.800
can help in the next game. You need me? Yeah,

00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:01.099
you passed. I mean, I was going to do some incredible

00:36:01.099 --> 00:36:02.460
bad effect. It was basically going to be like

00:36:02.460 --> 00:36:05.639
fully incapacitated sort of thing. Real quick

00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:09.159
here. Okay, never mind. I'm going to slide a

00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:10.480
hand check for Chester to see if he got that

00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:12.300
diamond from you. Because he super wanted to

00:36:12.300 --> 00:36:19.429
record that. I rolled a two. Did not work. You

00:36:19.429 --> 00:36:22.389
just grab his hand. Come on. Jules didn't even

00:36:22.389 --> 00:36:25.170
look down. He sensed it. He sensed it. It's going

00:36:25.170 --> 00:36:27.269
to find a face, Jules. Come on. We got to see

00:36:27.269 --> 00:36:32.610
it. I got to show it the round stuff. We should

00:36:32.610 --> 00:36:37.329
have let you play this game, Chester. Holy shit.

00:36:37.650 --> 00:36:42.019
And you walk away. Stumble. Wow. Stupor room.

00:36:42.179 --> 00:36:44.119
Yeah, you're like, it's like you're coming to

00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:47.099
your senses so fast. Like, that should have knocked

00:36:47.099 --> 00:36:48.460
you out. You see a lot of people in this room

00:36:48.460 --> 00:36:51.099
that are fully just like catatonic almost, and

00:36:51.099 --> 00:36:53.079
you're just walking out just fine. Chester kind

00:36:53.079 --> 00:36:56.900
of went beside you. Back out to the main sort

00:36:56.900 --> 00:36:59.099
of dance floor. You're looking towards maybe

00:36:59.099 --> 00:37:01.409
the northwest side of the room where... There's

00:37:01.409 --> 00:37:03.849
some kind of commotion. It seems like a group

00:37:03.849 --> 00:37:06.409
of people have formed a circle around the area

00:37:06.409 --> 00:37:08.309
where the tables and benches were. Oh, the game

00:37:08.309 --> 00:37:10.789
table, really? Wow. Something's been getting

00:37:10.789 --> 00:37:16.090
set up over there. Jules, it was a bad trip.

00:37:18.050 --> 00:37:20.610
I'm kind of out of it. I'm going to rely pretty

00:37:20.610 --> 00:37:24.010
heavily on you, if that's okay. Yeah, take it

00:37:24.010 --> 00:37:29.550
easy, okay? Yeah. I need your shot for when you

00:37:29.550 --> 00:37:33.059
get in there. I'll take a little time to think

00:37:33.059 --> 00:37:38.199
and square myself. Stay close. Blanche is going

00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:41.420
to walk behind Jules and push their way through

00:37:41.420 --> 00:37:47.760
this party. Okay. She definitely needs a breath

00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:49.800
minute for that one. Bracing herself on Jules'

00:37:49.900 --> 00:37:59.809
hips. Yeah, definitely. As you do. Blanche and

00:37:59.809 --> 00:38:06.329
Jules just grind across the dance floor. Gotta

00:38:06.329 --> 00:38:12.389
fit in. Yeah. I cannot. This is... I'm so excited

00:38:12.389 --> 00:38:17.150
for this. It's so stupid. I'm so excited. So

00:38:17.150 --> 00:38:22.090
as you're moving, you just see the crowd sort

00:38:22.090 --> 00:38:23.489
of breaks down a little bit. I think maybe you

00:38:23.489 --> 00:38:26.789
see just barely past them as they open up. And

00:38:26.789 --> 00:38:28.699
you see... A number of, like, it looks like some

00:38:28.699 --> 00:38:30.699
furniture has been arranged in some kind of,

00:38:30.699 --> 00:38:33.300
you know, pattern just beyond them. You kind

00:38:33.300 --> 00:38:35.659
of look and kind of close right around them,

00:38:35.699 --> 00:38:37.880
and you see Sexy Avan steps out from the middle,

00:38:37.940 --> 00:38:40.239
comes approaching you guys, hands out, just like,

00:38:40.420 --> 00:38:42.699
all right, we're ready. I got that started as

00:38:42.699 --> 00:38:45.539
fast as I could. I've been waiting for this.

00:38:45.699 --> 00:38:47.780
This is going to be fun. I was going to pull

00:38:47.780 --> 00:38:51.059
it out later on, but I think you guys, you, you're

00:38:51.059 --> 00:38:54.739
the competitors I want. So, do you want to play

00:38:54.739 --> 00:38:57.519
a game? I think he actually stops and looks over.

00:38:58.320 --> 00:39:02.679
Wait, you're all here. Flout Femur's losing his

00:39:02.679 --> 00:39:07.639
touch. I don't fall down much. Ooh, nice. Nice.

00:39:08.059 --> 00:39:11.539
Nods. All right. I'm going to take this seriously.

00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:17.280
Again, sorry. Do you want to play a game? That's

00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:19.960
what we're here for. What's your game, sexy boy?

00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:27.920
As players, hear me out. Hear me out. It's a

00:39:27.920 --> 00:39:32.159
little game we like to call Musical Chair. Okay.

00:39:32.659 --> 00:39:35.579
Rules are simple. Delightfully simple. Two of

00:39:35.579 --> 00:39:37.880
you against me. Music plays, move around the

00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:39.920
circle, keeping to this outer line. It kind of

00:39:39.920 --> 00:39:41.400
points to where, like, the people are. And it

00:39:41.400 --> 00:39:43.280
just, you know, right around them. Kind of like,

00:39:43.300 --> 00:39:44.639
there would be, like, they're sort of just inside

00:39:44.639 --> 00:39:47.579
of it, looking at something. There is a line

00:39:47.579 --> 00:39:51.500
drawn on the floor. Sort of black on the sort

00:39:51.500 --> 00:39:55.399
of diamond, vibrant, sort of pink floors. Music

00:39:55.399 --> 00:39:58.559
stops. We all move in. First to sit in a chair

00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:03.159
wins. Got it? Sure. Sounds easy enough. How long

00:40:03.159 --> 00:40:06.539
does the music last? Not long. Can't tell you

00:40:06.539 --> 00:40:07.860
exactly because you'll be ready for it. That's

00:40:07.860 --> 00:40:09.719
the game. We got it just when it stops. You got

00:40:09.719 --> 00:40:12.260
to be ready to move. So who's playing? Two of

00:40:12.260 --> 00:40:15.900
you, I said. I think I can help. Just sit in

00:40:15.900 --> 00:40:19.079
that chair, Jules. Let's do it. He kind of snaps

00:40:19.079 --> 00:40:21.980
his fingers. All right. Move out. And you see

00:40:21.980 --> 00:40:24.900
everyone kind of like this whole crowd very excitedly

00:40:24.900 --> 00:40:27.760
looks. They begin to step back. And you see there

00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:32.860
are 12 chairs arranged in a circle. Oh, no. I

00:40:32.860 --> 00:40:33.960
thought it was one chair. Let me bring it to

00:40:33.960 --> 00:40:36.320
a map. Oh, no. Let me bring it to the map. I

00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:38.119
thought it was one chair. I said first to sit

00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:40.119
in a chair wins. No, first to sit in a chair

00:40:40.119 --> 00:40:42.460
wins. I don't know what's happening, but I don't

00:40:42.460 --> 00:40:46.739
like it. Let me bring you to the map. Rochelle

00:40:46.739 --> 00:40:49.400
asked me yesterday. He's like, do you need a

00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:51.539
map for the upcoming combat? And I was like,

00:40:51.639 --> 00:40:53.519
nah, it's cool. Let me show you. I'm just doing

00:40:53.519 --> 00:40:58.800
musical chairs. Oh, my God. Okay. Yeah, that's

00:40:58.800 --> 00:41:02.420
12 chairs in a circle. All right. 12 chairs in

00:41:02.420 --> 00:41:04.579
a circle. That's it. We don't need... Look at

00:41:04.579 --> 00:41:05.780
that. I got the new Chesta token, by the way.

00:41:06.280 --> 00:41:08.400
Astropathics Chesta token. Oh, yeah. We don't

00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:12.119
need Chesta. Akio is lying in the middle of the

00:41:12.119 --> 00:41:15.019
circle. He's not in the game. He's just there.

00:41:16.059 --> 00:41:17.739
It's where the bench was. He's fully asleep.

00:41:18.659 --> 00:41:20.940
They didn't want to wake him up. They felt bad.

00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:24.000
He's too cute. You see you're standing about

00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:27.000
the line you move from is about 20 feet out from

00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:30.380
the line of chairs. And starting off, Avan also

00:41:30.380 --> 00:41:33.340
moves over there. Do you guys, when this music

00:41:33.340 --> 00:41:34.679
starts, when this game begins, do you want to

00:41:34.679 --> 00:41:35.639
be right next to each other or do you want to

00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:37.480
spread out a little bit? Hold on, is that Avan

00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:39.579
over there? Yeah, it's just a lizard picture.

00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:43.039
But really sexy. Look at that lizard. Zoom up.

00:41:43.059 --> 00:41:45.219
It's really sexy looking. Yeah, that's... Great

00:41:45.219 --> 00:41:49.599
lizard, I guess. Sexy white lizard. Yeah, Blanche

00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:52.280
wants to... We can move wherever we want? I'd

00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:53.880
say he looks like he's kind of armed now, too.

00:41:54.019 --> 00:41:55.739
He's kind of switched into almost like combat

00:41:55.739 --> 00:42:00.099
gear. He's got a... Looks like two... Looks like

00:42:00.099 --> 00:42:02.300
Bola's hanging off of his belt in one spot. He's

00:42:02.300 --> 00:42:06.579
got like a blade. His sheath. He's kind of looking

00:42:06.579 --> 00:42:09.800
at this sort of smile. We can stand anywhere

00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:12.989
around the edge of the mount? So basically what

00:42:12.989 --> 00:42:14.289
I want to know is whether you're going to be

00:42:14.289 --> 00:42:15.449
by each other. Because when we start this thing,

00:42:15.469 --> 00:42:17.789
what I'm going to ask you to do is roll a D12,

00:42:17.929 --> 00:42:19.809
and that'll be the position you're in when this

00:42:19.809 --> 00:42:23.869
opens up. I want to be close to Lizard Boy. Oh,

00:42:24.030 --> 00:42:25.610
you want to stay with him. Yeah. So whatever

00:42:25.610 --> 00:42:27.789
you do, I'll just be in the same spot. I like

00:42:27.789 --> 00:42:29.750
that. Okay. That's interesting. Yeah. Why not?

00:42:29.889 --> 00:42:30.949
I don't want to be right. I want to be within

00:42:30.949 --> 00:42:33.369
10 feet of him. Within 10 feet. Okay. Yeah. I'll

00:42:33.369 --> 00:42:35.190
let you roll the die, and I'll just move to around

00:42:35.190 --> 00:42:37.489
where you are. Jules, do you want to be nearby,

00:42:37.590 --> 00:42:40.590
or do you want to spread out a little bit? I

00:42:40.590 --> 00:42:43.389
think it'd be nearby, but not too close. All

00:42:43.389 --> 00:42:46.650
right. Maybe just around the bend a little bit.

00:42:47.070 --> 00:42:49.030
A little around the circle, but not opposite.

00:42:49.670 --> 00:42:51.829
All right. Let's do one roll then. And we'll

00:42:51.829 --> 00:42:53.789
just position off of that one roll. One D12 to

00:42:53.789 --> 00:42:56.150
see where you end up in this chair situation.

00:42:56.570 --> 00:43:02.260
Six. All right. You move. around the music starts

00:43:02.260 --> 00:43:04.059
the story starts off you're all kind of like

00:43:04.059 --> 00:43:07.219
moving slowly and it's like you know you see

00:43:07.219 --> 00:43:10.000
musical chairs children it's like dancing walking

00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:12.079
having fun this is almost like i imagine it's

00:43:12.079 --> 00:43:14.059
almost like a hunting sort of skirmish right

00:43:14.059 --> 00:43:17.639
like like tigers circling prey you guys are walking

00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:19.760
around the chairs he's kind of looking over his

00:43:19.760 --> 00:43:21.320
shoulder staying great but you know 10 feet behind

00:43:21.320 --> 00:43:24.800
him he's sort of smiling as he's claws pointing

00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:31.559
chair chair chair waiting waiting Waiting for

00:43:31.559 --> 00:43:35.559
that right moment. And then, the music stops.

00:43:36.280 --> 00:43:38.820
Blanche casts Hold Person. Roll for initiative.

00:43:41.860 --> 00:43:45.400
I'm going to do initiative roll first, I think.

00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:49.880
Okay. But I like that a lot. I like that a lot.

00:43:52.219 --> 00:43:57.400
Cracked. Very, very cracked. You know what? You

00:43:57.400 --> 00:44:00.130
wouldn't have been ready in action. Oh! Pretty

00:44:00.130 --> 00:44:04.550
good? Pretty good? 18, so 22 initiative. Holy

00:44:04.550 --> 00:44:12.489
moly. Ooh, that's only a three. Okay. Music stops.

00:44:12.949 --> 00:44:17.809
You see Sexy Evan breaks down, almost into this

00:44:17.809 --> 00:44:20.550
full, about to leap, like, pounce again, like

00:44:20.550 --> 00:44:24.179
a tiger on the hunt. He's about to jump in. But

00:44:24.179 --> 00:44:27.219
here are the 21 for his initiative. Oh, shit.

00:44:28.079 --> 00:44:31.420
Well, the 22, you're already casting your spell.

00:44:32.179 --> 00:44:34.199
Am I rolling a save? Is that your game? You're

00:44:34.199 --> 00:44:36.880
rolling a wisdom save. Oh my gosh, that is gnarly.

00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:41.260
Nice. Gnarly, okay. Oh, that's a maybe. I might

00:44:41.260 --> 00:44:43.599
be all right. Oh, my wisdom's actually pretty

00:44:43.599 --> 00:44:47.199
good. Shit. I'm okay. That's a 19. Damn. Damn

00:44:47.199 --> 00:44:50.480
it. Still your move, but you go to cast. Your

00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:52.219
magic sort of wraps around him, and for a moment,

00:44:52.260 --> 00:44:54.300
you see he freezes in his mid sort of thing.

00:44:54.380 --> 00:44:56.119
I think that's almost what happens, right? He's

00:44:56.119 --> 00:44:58.659
ready to go, but you kind of hold him for a quick

00:44:58.659 --> 00:45:00.940
second and are able to start moving before he

00:45:00.940 --> 00:45:04.139
can. But you see he snaps his finger. He flexes,

00:45:04.139 --> 00:45:06.900
breaks out of it, looks to you. What do you do?

00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:10.860
Cast it again. What? You can cast twice? Oh,

00:45:10.900 --> 00:45:14.079
right. Same turn. No, I can't. Oh, yeah, I didn't

00:45:14.079 --> 00:45:15.840
do ready to action. I figured this makes more

00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:17.820
sense. Okay. That would have been a whole can

00:45:17.820 --> 00:45:18.900
of worms, because then I should have ready to

00:45:18.900 --> 00:45:21.320
action, and Chester should have ready to action.

00:45:21.460 --> 00:45:24.880
I don't know. I still have move and bonus action.

00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:27.119
All you got to do is sit in a chair, right? I

00:45:27.119 --> 00:45:29.139
mean, like, you can just, you can move 20 feet,

00:45:29.179 --> 00:45:31.039
right? I'm not an idiot. Oh, wait, let's move

00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:35.119
your six spot. You're here. Gosh. Jules, I'm

00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:36.719
putting you by the number three chair, kind of

00:45:36.719 --> 00:45:38.519
close by, but not super far. Cool. Chester's

00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:44.039
in the corner watching. Okay. Bonus action. She

00:45:44.039 --> 00:45:48.139
will go into Bladesong. Okay. Nice. Then I'll

00:45:48.139 --> 00:45:53.059
use my movement to go and try to sit in a chair,

00:45:53.099 --> 00:45:58.559
I guess. Okay. How much do you have? With Bladesong,

00:45:58.599 --> 00:46:02.260
that's 40 feet. Okay, yeah. You can reach the

00:46:02.260 --> 00:46:04.340
number six chair or you don't drown it. Okay.

00:46:04.539 --> 00:46:07.940
I guess I'm going to sit in the number six chair.

00:46:08.619 --> 00:46:11.300
Lanch slides up, leaps over the top, lands right

00:46:11.300 --> 00:46:14.500
down in this nice little wooden chair. You just

00:46:14.500 --> 00:46:17.219
drop right into it. That's the end of your turn?

00:46:17.880 --> 00:46:21.820
Yes. And you just kind of hear behind you, oh,

00:46:21.980 --> 00:46:24.960
and one more thing I forgot to tell you. So dumb.

00:46:24.980 --> 00:46:28.500
There it is. There's only one chair. Oh, okay.

00:46:28.800 --> 00:46:32.119
Gotcha. Holy shit. Yeah. And you feel the chair

00:46:32.119 --> 00:46:35.139
beneath you begins to stir. Begins to move and

00:46:35.139 --> 00:46:38.860
suddenly it begins to unravel the arm bars beside

00:46:38.860 --> 00:46:42.019
you. Suddenly slide open. You see rows of teeth

00:46:42.019 --> 00:46:45.380
and slathering tongues, purple tongues. It's

00:46:45.380 --> 00:46:53.059
a mimic. Oh my God. So stupid. One chair, 11

00:46:53.059 --> 00:46:56.539
mimics. Okay. First to sit wins. All right. Let

00:46:56.539 --> 00:46:58.559
me switch my token to my, how do I get these

00:46:58.559 --> 00:47:01.900
guys? Makes a little more sense now. Now you

00:47:01.900 --> 00:47:03.460
see what I'm doing. Yep, now I see what you're

00:47:03.460 --> 00:47:07.000
doing. But you've revealed one. Oh, by the way,

00:47:07.059 --> 00:47:10.059
I should tell you this. Mimics have a little

00:47:10.059 --> 00:47:13.760
trait called adhesive. Stop. Oh, my God. It's

00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:16.539
really fun. You're going to love this. The mimic

00:47:16.539 --> 00:47:20.760
adheres to anything that touches it. A huge or

00:47:20.760 --> 00:47:22.099
smaller creature that adheres to the mimic has

00:47:22.099 --> 00:47:26.079
the grappled condition. Escape DC 13. The ability

00:47:26.079 --> 00:47:28.460
check is made to escape at disadvantage. You...

00:47:29.170 --> 00:47:31.349
suddenly find the chairs very, very sticky, like

00:47:31.349 --> 00:47:34.429
suction cups appear kind of covering you almost

00:47:34.429 --> 00:47:36.929
like you are glued down. It's getting pretty

00:47:36.929 --> 00:47:38.929
hard to another chair because this chair is chosen

00:47:38.929 --> 00:47:41.989
to keep you. Oh my God. God damn it. I'm guessing

00:47:41.989 --> 00:47:44.050
there's no chance that a mimic is considered

00:47:44.050 --> 00:47:47.650
an object, is it? Hang on. No, this is actually

00:47:47.650 --> 00:47:50.940
interesting. Hang on. It can. Shapes which resemble

00:47:50.940 --> 00:47:53.739
a medium or small object, but is not small. It's

00:47:53.739 --> 00:47:56.239
a monstrosity. Okay. It has what's called an

00:47:56.239 --> 00:47:59.440
object form. And I was like, wait a minute. I

00:47:59.440 --> 00:48:01.820
do love the idea of you being able to like...

00:48:01.820 --> 00:48:03.480
Just Ichigenko would have just been able to.

00:48:03.559 --> 00:48:06.340
Yeah, it's so cool. But no, unfortunately, I

00:48:06.340 --> 00:48:08.980
can't do it. Sorry. But too generous already.

00:48:09.780 --> 00:48:12.260
You're stuck to a minute. And that's going to

00:48:12.260 --> 00:48:18.300
be SexyAven, who just kind of smiles. Oh, what

00:48:18.300 --> 00:48:21.059
should I do to you, Jules? Yeah, we'll do this.

00:48:21.659 --> 00:48:26.000
He looks over to you, Jules. Grabs the bola from

00:48:26.000 --> 00:48:29.579
his belt. So it's like two. It's like a rope

00:48:29.579 --> 00:48:33.079
with two sort of... Like knives at the end? Knives

00:48:33.079 --> 00:48:35.300
are like... I think it's almost like stone. Oh,

00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:38.320
like spears. Yeah, I heard the right word. He

00:48:38.320 --> 00:48:40.599
picks it up and starts slinging it. He's going

00:48:40.599 --> 00:48:43.239
to throw it right at your feet. He's going to

00:48:43.239 --> 00:48:48.440
try to bola you. Oh, my God. I'm going to roll

00:48:48.440 --> 00:48:53.329
my attack. Oh, that might not do it. 12 to hit.

00:48:53.829 --> 00:48:57.389
No. That doesn't do it. Oh, my gosh. Okay. Puts

00:48:57.389 --> 00:49:01.710
me in an interesting spot. Okay. You dodge that.

00:49:02.769 --> 00:49:05.090
He's going to start moving in towards the chairs.

00:49:06.050 --> 00:49:08.590
He's going to stand up right behind between 8

00:49:08.590 --> 00:49:10.050
and 7, kind of like just down in the southern

00:49:10.050 --> 00:49:11.610
part of this, right near where Blanche is stuck,

00:49:11.750 --> 00:49:14.250
kind of drawing his blade. But I'm not going

00:49:14.250 --> 00:49:16.510
to use my blade yet. Instead, I'm going to...

00:49:16.510 --> 00:49:20.670
Yes. No, hold on. Yeah, okay. I'm just going

00:49:20.670 --> 00:49:22.449
to attack. I'm going to take one attack with

00:49:22.449 --> 00:49:25.969
my weapon. It's going to slice at one of these

00:49:25.969 --> 00:49:30.809
chairs. I'm going to roll. Evens eight, odds

00:49:30.809 --> 00:49:36.210
seven. Slashes at eight. And eight transforms.

00:49:37.469 --> 00:49:41.949
Okay. And so you infer, if you do damage to them,

00:49:42.070 --> 00:49:44.269
you can reveal them. It does not immediately

00:49:44.269 --> 00:49:47.860
strike at him. Showing its hand. He kind of just...

00:49:47.860 --> 00:49:49.900
That's when he stabs it, and you kind of see

00:49:49.900 --> 00:49:51.699
the chair just kind of, again, tongue rolls out

00:49:51.699 --> 00:49:52.940
from the seat as it kind of opens up and just

00:49:52.940 --> 00:49:56.559
kind of... But it doesn't really move. It doesn't

00:49:56.559 --> 00:49:57.619
do anything. It seems like they're more just

00:49:57.619 --> 00:49:59.940
trying to focus on those that get in on top of

00:49:59.940 --> 00:50:04.659
them. And that is going to be his turn. That's

00:50:04.659 --> 00:50:07.059
the mimic. Only one of them is really active

00:50:07.059 --> 00:50:08.280
right now, and that's going to be the one that's

00:50:08.280 --> 00:50:11.579
got you, Blanche. I'm going to bite you with

00:50:11.579 --> 00:50:16.199
advantage. Pretty good. That is going to be a...

00:50:18.259 --> 00:50:23.460
23 to hit. Huh. Wow. I'm trying to decide if

00:50:23.460 --> 00:50:28.860
it's worth casting shield. Screw it. Let's take

00:50:28.860 --> 00:50:34.719
the hit and find out. Yeah, it would have been

00:50:34.719 --> 00:50:40.960
worth it. 3d8s. 16 points. Holy shit. seven of

00:50:40.960 --> 00:50:43.300
which is acid, most of it just piercing. Basically,

00:50:43.860 --> 00:50:45.699
as you're kind of there, it kind of folds in

00:50:45.699 --> 00:50:47.480
and bites into you, and you just feel teeth ripping

00:50:47.480 --> 00:50:49.199
into you. Those teeth that are in the tongue

00:50:49.199 --> 00:50:52.340
kind of wraps around your arm, and you begin

00:50:52.340 --> 00:50:54.179
to feel it sort of burn. There's an acidy sort

00:50:54.179 --> 00:50:59.360
of liquid spit on the tongue. Gross. Acid saliva.

00:50:59.860 --> 00:51:05.340
This thing is licking you all over. I'll open

00:51:05.340 --> 00:51:08.559
your weird turtle hair. And that is going to

00:51:08.559 --> 00:51:10.670
be the only main... Actually... You know, I am

00:51:10.670 --> 00:51:12.369
within range of this thing, and it did awaken.

00:51:12.530 --> 00:51:13.550
I guess it would only make sense for this one

00:51:13.550 --> 00:51:16.230
to attack me, too. Yeah, you know what? I'm going

00:51:16.230 --> 00:51:17.449
to attack non -advantage because I'm not stuck

00:51:17.449 --> 00:51:20.130
to it. I touched it, and it rolled away. Should

00:51:20.130 --> 00:51:21.369
I roll it again? Do whatever you want. Okay.

00:51:21.570 --> 00:51:23.650
I was, like, going to grab it to see what it

00:51:23.650 --> 00:51:25.030
was, and I, like, actually dropped it, and it

00:51:25.030 --> 00:51:26.789
rolled. I was like, crap. I don't really get

00:51:26.789 --> 00:51:30.829
it. It does miss. So pseudopod, this thing, like,

00:51:30.889 --> 00:51:34.710
a little tentacle sort of limb sort of breaks

00:51:34.710 --> 00:51:36.809
off the chair, slides out. It's actually having

00:51:36.809 --> 00:51:39.110
it just dives right underneath it, goes wide.

00:51:39.610 --> 00:51:41.670
And he is fine. And that's going to be Jules

00:51:41.670 --> 00:51:44.389
LaRoche. Jules is in the game now. Blanche had

00:51:44.389 --> 00:51:46.389
to get got so you could see what's going on.

00:51:46.489 --> 00:51:48.090
If you do damage to them, if you can make them

00:51:48.090 --> 00:51:50.130
reveal themselves, that's the puzzle. How do

00:51:50.130 --> 00:51:52.090
you find which one's right without getting got

00:51:52.090 --> 00:51:54.489
yourself? Right. There are. There's not a whole

00:51:54.489 --> 00:51:57.329
lot I can do to get Blanche. Oh, don't worry

00:51:57.329 --> 00:51:59.530
about Blanche. Yeah, just find a chair. Jules

00:51:59.530 --> 00:52:03.150
is going to cast Spotic Inspiration onto Blanche

00:52:03.150 --> 00:52:06.170
as a bonus action. Nice. And he loves to taste

00:52:06.170 --> 00:52:10.179
that golden moe. It's like, yummy. And then,

00:52:10.239 --> 00:52:12.960
I hate just doing a friggin' melee attack on

00:52:12.960 --> 00:52:14.539
him, but I don't want to waste spell slots on

00:52:14.539 --> 00:52:17.460
chairs. I mean, I think this is like our sort

00:52:17.460 --> 00:52:21.840
of quote -unquote boss battle. True. Maybe. Might

00:52:21.840 --> 00:52:24.460
just be. Might just be. I don't know. I'm prepping

00:52:24.460 --> 00:52:26.619
for something in the VIP lounge. Well, we gotta

00:52:26.619 --> 00:52:29.599
get there first. What he got within range to

00:52:29.599 --> 00:52:31.659
a melee attack, this thing was able to attack

00:52:31.659 --> 00:52:34.260
him? It was able to attack him. It's range? Okay.

00:52:34.719 --> 00:52:38.710
Alright, so. Yeah, fuck it. I can't imagine.

00:52:39.449 --> 00:52:41.530
Yeah, I'll just use Tasha City's Laughter on

00:52:41.530 --> 00:52:47.610
him. Oh, nice. I'll stay at range. That's pretty

00:52:47.610 --> 00:52:51.010
good. Okay. And I'm going to hit number five.

00:52:51.329 --> 00:52:52.869
Oh, I thought you were going to hit the guy.

00:52:53.610 --> 00:52:54.969
No, that makes sense, too, though. Actually,

00:52:54.969 --> 00:52:57.389
hold on. I like both of these. Because I was

00:52:57.389 --> 00:52:59.429
thinking about hitting him at first, but I want

00:52:59.429 --> 00:53:02.730
to start whittling down chairs. Well, if he can't

00:53:02.730 --> 00:53:05.730
find a chair, then... Because how long does Tasha's

00:53:05.730 --> 00:53:09.389
last for? until he... It's a wisdom save, and

00:53:09.389 --> 00:53:12.070
he's got great wisdom, he said. Oh, he said it

00:53:12.070 --> 00:53:14.190
was good anyway. But he gets to save every turn.

00:53:14.210 --> 00:53:16.610
It's interesting. Tossers will last every turn,

00:53:16.769 --> 00:53:19.329
and if I get attacked, I get to make a roll with

00:53:19.329 --> 00:53:21.750
advantage to get out of it, but it makes it so

00:53:21.750 --> 00:53:23.510
I'm almost sure to get hit because it gives me

00:53:23.510 --> 00:53:25.989
advantage against me while I'm incapacitated,

00:53:26.110 --> 00:53:28.389
which means if that happens to me while right

00:53:28.389 --> 00:53:31.719
next to a mimic... I might get got before Tasha

00:53:31.719 --> 00:53:34.300
wears off. So it's a cool potential strategy,

00:53:34.360 --> 00:53:36.440
but also revealing chairs is also a pretty cool

00:53:36.440 --> 00:53:39.340
thing to do. That's the puzzle. Now you got a

00:53:39.340 --> 00:53:41.760
second guess in it. Because Jules will not, I'm

00:53:41.760 --> 00:53:42.880
not going to bring him into range with those

00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:45.460
chairs for any melee attack. Yeah, that's fine.

00:53:45.739 --> 00:53:49.719
So that's why. But you just made a good point

00:53:49.719 --> 00:53:53.000
that that mimic is already out. So if he gets

00:53:53.000 --> 00:53:56.079
incapacitated right there. I think both potential

00:53:56.079 --> 00:53:59.380
castings are a really cool move. Yeah. I didn't

00:53:59.380 --> 00:54:02.760
realize that portion of it. So I think I am going

00:54:02.760 --> 00:54:07.460
to go for him across the way. Okay. Okay. It's

00:54:07.460 --> 00:54:09.440
a wisdom save. Wisdom save. Now, there's a lot

00:54:09.440 --> 00:54:11.079
of buttons out there right now. You want to give

00:54:11.079 --> 00:54:14.900
me disadvantage on this? You can each give me

00:54:14.900 --> 00:54:18.079
one. Make it less painful for you both. Disadvantage

00:54:18.079 --> 00:54:21.480
for potentially one round. What's your save?

00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:26.719
15. I say we go for it. With buttons? No, I would

00:54:26.719 --> 00:54:31.480
say without buttons. Okay. All right. That's

00:54:31.480 --> 00:54:34.460
a fail. No shit. There we go. Now we're talking.

00:54:34.679 --> 00:54:36.900
Now we're talking. You see you cast a spell.

00:54:36.980 --> 00:54:38.400
He kind of weaves around the chair. He looks

00:54:38.400 --> 00:54:42.380
over to you, smiles. Your hand kind of comes

00:54:42.380 --> 00:54:44.840
out, maybe a wave of magic. His smile begins

00:54:44.840 --> 00:54:46.179
to grow and grow. And I think I told you before,

00:54:46.239 --> 00:54:49.019
his smile is huge, way too wide on his face.

00:54:49.280 --> 00:54:53.260
And his mouth just cracks open like a maw of

00:54:53.260 --> 00:54:59.820
an alligator as he just... laughing maniacally,

00:54:59.840 --> 00:55:03.519
drops down, incapacitated. This big purple tongue

00:55:03.519 --> 00:55:06.079
of a mimic starts slithering over to his body.

00:55:07.300 --> 00:55:09.400
He just can't do it. He's just looking at it

00:55:09.400 --> 00:55:12.719
like... Oh, yeah. Important to note, too. His

00:55:12.719 --> 00:55:16.159
eyes wide. At the end of its turn, he gets a

00:55:16.159 --> 00:55:19.440
save. A save, yeah. But also when he takes damage

00:55:19.440 --> 00:55:22.679
as well. Yeah. I remember that because I think

00:55:22.679 --> 00:55:24.739
we've forgotten that part in the past. Yes, we

00:55:24.739 --> 00:55:26.960
have. We have. During a very crucial boss battle,

00:55:27.019 --> 00:55:31.500
actually. Those are the old times. Now we're

00:55:31.500 --> 00:55:33.780
perfect. We never make mistakes. Not once. No

00:55:33.780 --> 00:55:36.860
edges. Ever. In musical chairs. That's your turn,

00:55:36.900 --> 00:55:41.940
Jules? Yeah. Hell yeah. Top of the round, we

00:55:41.940 --> 00:55:43.619
have Blanche. Blanche's tongue is all like blah,

00:55:43.679 --> 00:55:45.320
blah, blah, blah, all over you. It's gross. It's

00:55:45.320 --> 00:55:49.079
awful. Acid. You're getting bit and munched on.

00:55:49.579 --> 00:55:51.880
This is probably, you were just over there in

00:55:51.880 --> 00:55:53.719
like a nightmare hallucination, and this might

00:55:53.719 --> 00:55:59.119
be worse. Right, exactly. Okay, action to break

00:55:59.119 --> 00:56:01.820
free, right? Or try to break free? Yes, so in

00:56:01.820 --> 00:56:03.159
order to break free from this, it's going to

00:56:03.159 --> 00:56:10.219
be to make a, okay, so it's grappled. So acrobats

00:56:10.219 --> 00:56:13.440
or athletics, escape DC, I'll tell you right

00:56:13.440 --> 00:56:16.380
on the sheet, it's 13. But you have disadvantage

00:56:16.380 --> 00:56:19.320
on any checks to escape it. He has Bardic. I've

00:56:19.320 --> 00:56:21.820
got Bardic. You have Bardic. But now he knows

00:56:21.820 --> 00:56:24.179
what he has to get, so he can't use Bardic. Whoopsies.

00:56:24.179 --> 00:56:26.739
You can't use it. You can't? Oh, yeah. It's fine.

00:56:27.099 --> 00:56:29.920
Damn. I should have told you. I was like, I'll

00:56:29.920 --> 00:56:33.820
just say it. Okay. My bad. So, all right. Acrobatics

00:56:33.820 --> 00:56:38.360
check. Plus four on the die. Oh, wait. So, disadvantage.

00:56:38.639 --> 00:56:46.110
I'll roll two. Oh, no. The lower is five plus

00:56:46.110 --> 00:56:48.849
four. That's nine. That makes it kind of exciting.

00:56:48.949 --> 00:56:52.110
I like that we know the roll now. It's exciting

00:56:52.110 --> 00:56:54.630
now. Thirteen? I'm going to take the bardic.

00:56:54.630 --> 00:56:57.530
Oh, shit. So you need a four? Five or higher.

00:56:57.869 --> 00:56:59.750
Four or higher. Oh, four. Yeah. Meets it, beats

00:56:59.750 --> 00:57:01.670
it. Meets it, beats it. Four or higher. Oh, my

00:57:01.670 --> 00:57:05.590
gosh. That's way cracked. Hold on. I'm rolling

00:57:05.590 --> 00:57:07.269
in the... No, I don't want to roll your dice

00:57:07.269 --> 00:57:09.789
tower. No, not in yours. Hold on. Pass me the

00:57:09.789 --> 00:57:14.579
storm shield. The storm shield is back. Not today,

00:57:14.780 --> 00:57:22.940
trooper. Four! Nice! Holy shit! Yeah! Oh, fine.

00:57:22.980 --> 00:57:24.400
Yeah, don't high -five me. That's fine. No, sorry.

00:57:24.440 --> 00:57:27.400
You don't get a high -five. I'll high -five you,

00:57:27.420 --> 00:57:29.260
David. I'm adding more chairs. Oh, goddammit.

00:57:30.380 --> 00:57:33.099
Holy shit. Oh, jeez. What does it look like when

00:57:33.099 --> 00:57:35.800
you snap out of this thing? She just, like, rolls

00:57:35.800 --> 00:57:37.679
over backwards and, like, backflips out of the

00:57:37.679 --> 00:57:41.869
chair. Oh, shit! That's so cool. You roll out

00:57:41.869 --> 00:57:43.670
of the chair, his shell kind of sliding out,

00:57:43.769 --> 00:57:45.989
and the mimic's kind of like lying now kind of

00:57:45.989 --> 00:57:48.030
backwards, just sort of still kind of unraveling.

00:57:48.030 --> 00:57:50.730
It's sort of weird, purple membrane body kind

00:57:50.730 --> 00:57:53.130
of coming apart, meshing with the wood, but like

00:57:53.130 --> 00:57:56.369
turning into almost a blovish form. But it's

00:57:56.369 --> 00:58:01.550
not moving. It stays put. Gosh, I hate that that

00:58:01.550 --> 00:58:03.389
was my action. I really can't do anything now.

00:58:03.969 --> 00:58:06.130
I don't really have any other bonus actions.

00:58:07.159 --> 00:58:11.599
You can sit in a chair. I'm actually not going

00:58:11.599 --> 00:58:14.139
to do that. Just move and sit in a chair. Come

00:58:14.139 --> 00:58:21.920
on. Blanche is going to move. Let's see. In the

00:58:21.920 --> 00:58:25.079
center of the circle here. Standing next to Akio.

00:58:25.219 --> 00:58:30.619
Still just snoring. You slide in. You're just

00:58:30.619 --> 00:58:32.260
like, I love this image, too. You just glance

00:58:32.260 --> 00:58:34.360
next to Akio, and we just kind of see this camera

00:58:34.360 --> 00:58:37.380
slowly circle pans around her. You hear, like,

00:58:37.380 --> 00:58:41.420
the background of Avan just laughing. And we

00:58:41.420 --> 00:58:43.059
just see, like, chair, chair, chair, chair, chair,

00:58:43.059 --> 00:58:44.980
chair, chair, chair. All around, it goes around.

00:58:45.059 --> 00:58:47.360
Which one's the real chair? You are surrounded

00:58:47.360 --> 00:58:50.579
still by, what's it, like, nine more enemies?

00:58:51.320 --> 00:58:55.460
Ten? Chairs? Ten chairs. Nine enemies. One's

00:58:55.460 --> 00:58:57.820
a chair. One's a chair. Chair's got no grudge

00:58:57.820 --> 00:59:01.030
against you. Okay, that's your turn. That's all

00:59:01.030 --> 00:59:04.570
I got. Planning this out. What's your next scheme,

00:59:04.849 --> 00:59:07.369
Blanche? How do you control this battlefield?

00:59:07.469 --> 00:59:10.309
That's going to be Avan, who doesn't do anything.

00:59:10.889 --> 00:59:12.230
No, but you get another check. I do get another

00:59:12.230 --> 00:59:15.630
check. And if I don't go for this, I'm going

00:59:15.630 --> 00:59:17.550
to get licked on real bad. He just sees, like,

00:59:17.570 --> 00:59:19.989
the tongue coming near him, and he can his eyes

00:59:19.989 --> 00:59:21.869
go wide just by his laughing. He's like, ha,

00:59:21.869 --> 00:59:26.710
ha, ha, ha. He's got terrified eyes. I'm going

00:59:26.710 --> 00:59:31.139
to roll this check. I think that's close, but

00:59:31.139 --> 00:59:35.099
not quite. Let me see. It's only a 13. Oh, nice.

00:59:35.300 --> 00:59:38.159
Wow, that's great. Still laughing. Yeah, super

00:59:38.159 --> 00:59:40.739
cool. For a second, his body kind of moves out

00:59:40.739 --> 00:59:42.559
of it. I think he closes his mouth and holds

00:59:42.559 --> 00:59:44.519
it in laughter. You see it's like his chest quaking,

00:59:44.559 --> 00:59:47.820
and he just falls backwards again, bursts out

00:59:47.820 --> 00:59:51.219
laughing. Tongue fully comes out of mimic turn.

00:59:51.360 --> 00:59:55.840
Only one's in range. Advantage because incapacitated.

00:59:56.799 --> 00:59:59.139
Oh, boy. No, no, Avan. Come on, man. You're so

00:59:59.139 --> 01:00:02.159
cool. All right, pseudopod. What's it called?

01:00:02.239 --> 01:00:04.179
The tongue. The tongue just, like, slaps down

01:00:04.179 --> 01:00:06.800
on top of him, and he's, like, yanked upwards

01:00:06.800 --> 01:00:09.199
by the tongue and just slapped down right onto

01:00:09.199 --> 01:00:11.619
the chair. Chair fully kind of amorphs into a

01:00:11.619 --> 01:00:13.920
mouth and begins to munch. He's kind of just,

01:00:13.940 --> 01:00:16.099
like, going out. I'm going to roll some damage.

01:00:16.960 --> 01:00:19.820
Are these mimics moving when they attack, or

01:00:19.820 --> 01:00:22.920
is it staying in that spot? They do not move.

01:00:23.019 --> 01:00:24.519
It seems like that's part of the game is they

01:00:24.519 --> 01:00:27.860
do not move. So it's more of a puzzle than anything

01:00:27.860 --> 01:00:29.380
else. I don't want to get into where it's like,

01:00:29.460 --> 01:00:31.420
okay, now fight 11 mimics at the same time. That

01:00:31.420 --> 01:00:33.239
would take three episodes. Can you do me a favor

01:00:33.239 --> 01:00:35.059
then and move that mimic token back over that

01:00:35.059 --> 01:00:38.679
chair? Which one? Yeah, that one. There we go.

01:00:38.760 --> 01:00:40.679
Perfect. Oh, it wasn't. That's weird. It was

01:00:40.679 --> 01:00:43.219
for me. Avan's now going to be in this chair.

01:00:43.320 --> 01:00:44.719
I'm just going to say he gets grabbed and moved

01:00:44.719 --> 01:00:47.280
when he's grappled. Just drop down on top of

01:00:47.280 --> 01:00:49.619
the chair. He's lying belly down on it and kind

01:00:49.619 --> 01:00:52.820
of... I'm kind of having a hard time. But I get

01:00:52.820 --> 01:00:54.340
to roll advantage to see if I break the laughter.

01:00:56.619 --> 01:01:00.519
And I do. Natural 19 of the die. So he's not

01:01:00.519 --> 01:01:02.880
laughing anymore. And that makes a lot of sense.

01:01:03.659 --> 01:01:06.920
And that's going to be Jules. Okay. You've got

01:01:06.920 --> 01:01:08.519
him dealt with. Now you just got to figure out

01:01:08.519 --> 01:01:12.800
which chair is the right one. Yeah, I don't.

01:01:13.179 --> 01:01:15.820
How many items can you create with College of

01:01:15.820 --> 01:01:19.550
Creation? That's what I was looking for. Hang

01:01:19.550 --> 01:01:22.849
on. Okay, here's what you can do. Once you create

01:01:22.849 --> 01:01:24.090
an item with this feature, you can't do it until

01:01:24.090 --> 01:01:26.110
you finish a long rest unless you expend a spell

01:01:26.110 --> 01:01:28.090
slot of second level or higher to use this feature

01:01:28.090 --> 01:01:34.489
again. Well, idea. Your mastery over the song

01:01:34.489 --> 01:01:36.469
creation allows you to magically bring items

01:01:36.469 --> 01:01:38.710
to life. As an action, you can target a large

01:01:38.710 --> 01:01:40.469
or small non -magical item, blah, blah, blah.

01:01:40.750 --> 01:01:43.909
So you can try... Does that have a number of

01:01:43.909 --> 01:01:45.909
times per day that you can do it? It's once.

01:01:46.269 --> 01:01:48.650
Okay. You only need to hit it once because these

01:01:48.650 --> 01:01:52.050
other things are not items. So you can point

01:01:52.050 --> 01:01:55.610
to a chair, try to animate it, and if it animates

01:01:55.610 --> 01:01:58.010
it, great. You can make it run to you. If it

01:01:58.010 --> 01:01:59.929
doesn't animate it, guess what? That's a mimic.

01:02:00.389 --> 01:02:02.269
Yeah, why not? Hang on. Before you do anything.

01:02:02.960 --> 01:02:04.840
I want to write down somewhere which chair is

01:02:04.840 --> 01:02:06.699
the right chair. Wait, you don't know which chair

01:02:06.699 --> 01:02:08.400
is the right chair? I do know. I just want to

01:02:08.400 --> 01:02:10.260
write down, so it's not bullshit. Oh, dude, I

01:02:10.260 --> 01:02:11.800
was about to, like, quit and walk out of here.

01:02:11.800 --> 01:02:12.940
Of course I know which chair is the right chair.

01:02:13.019 --> 01:02:15.539
Come on, man. I do a bunch of scribbling, so

01:02:15.539 --> 01:02:17.760
you don't know if it's, like, one. So here's

01:02:17.760 --> 01:02:20.300
a single line. It's like, gee, what number is

01:02:20.300 --> 01:02:23.780
one line only? There's only one of those. And

01:02:23.780 --> 01:02:27.500
it's one. Anyway. Okay. So, yeah, let's go. We're

01:02:27.500 --> 01:02:30.539
going to go number five. Number five. You point

01:02:30.539 --> 01:02:32.760
number five? Yep. Point number five. Try to animate.

01:02:33.539 --> 01:02:36.360
What I'm going to say, because it's fun, is as

01:02:36.360 --> 01:02:39.679
it touches the chair, it moves for a second,

01:02:39.719 --> 01:02:45.019
quivers, and then goes bleh! It unravels the

01:02:45.019 --> 01:02:46.739
mimic. It's like the second you touch it with

01:02:46.739 --> 01:02:48.059
this and move it, you try to move it, it's like

01:02:48.059 --> 01:02:50.760
it somehow broke the illusion. The chair just

01:02:50.760 --> 01:02:54.179
blah! Now you have three slavering mimics. We

01:02:54.179 --> 01:02:56.760
also got to remember which chairs. Yeah, they've

01:02:56.760 --> 01:02:59.500
got the mimic tokens on them now. That's it.

01:02:59.599 --> 01:03:02.199
That's it. All right. Top of the round, Blanche.

01:03:02.480 --> 01:03:06.599
Okay. Blanche is going to run to chair seven

01:03:06.599 --> 01:03:11.860
and slice at it with Ichigenki. Yeah, I guess.

01:03:12.179 --> 01:03:16.260
So hear me out. Yeah. If Blanche slices at this

01:03:16.260 --> 01:03:20.480
thing and she hits the actual chair, Ichigenki

01:03:20.480 --> 01:03:23.800
is supposed to do max damage to it. Can she still

01:03:23.800 --> 01:03:25.659
like... Only if it's an object? It wouldn't for...

01:03:25.659 --> 01:03:28.300
No, I'm not talking about for a mimic. I'm talking

01:03:28.300 --> 01:03:29.940
about what if I hit the real chair? Do I break

01:03:29.940 --> 01:03:31.599
the chair and then the game is over? Or can I

01:03:31.599 --> 01:03:33.119
sit on the crumbled chair? You can sit on the

01:03:33.119 --> 01:03:34.539
crumbled chair. I don't care. You can make that

01:03:34.539 --> 01:03:36.500
happen. All right. She's going to slice at number

01:03:36.500 --> 01:03:40.440
seven. Okay. Number seven unravels before you.

01:03:40.800 --> 01:03:42.940
It might try to get you a little bit. Why is

01:03:42.940 --> 01:03:47.179
it... Oh. You can't make it on. I was copying

01:03:47.179 --> 01:03:48.980
and trying to move it. I forgot that paste is

01:03:48.980 --> 01:03:50.400
a thing that exists. Yeah, paste is a thing that

01:03:50.400 --> 01:03:53.000
exists. We got it. Okay. Blanche is going to

01:03:53.000 --> 01:03:57.539
run back five feet. Out of my halo ring? Yep.

01:03:57.539 --> 01:04:02.199
Bring it on. I'll miss. Okay. Then she's going

01:04:02.199 --> 01:04:04.460
to run over to number nine and slash at that

01:04:04.460 --> 01:04:06.440
one because she gets two attacks with the attack

01:04:06.440 --> 01:04:09.300
action. Nice. Pretty good. And it goes bleh.

01:04:09.679 --> 01:04:11.719
Okay. Another one rolls out. Tongue rolls out.

01:04:11.920 --> 01:04:13.420
You're with her angel. Do you want to get out

01:04:13.420 --> 01:04:15.139
before it's turn? Yeah. She's going to use the

01:04:15.139 --> 01:04:18.320
rest of her movement to back over here between

01:04:18.320 --> 01:04:22.059
10 and 11. That's a miss. Tongue's gone. Okay,

01:04:22.780 --> 01:04:27.739
you slide over there. Oh, boy. Okay. My guy is

01:04:27.739 --> 01:04:30.840
free. He's in a chair. I'm not going to try to

01:04:30.840 --> 01:04:32.000
break out. I'm not going to waste my action on

01:04:32.000 --> 01:04:35.579
that. Instead, oh, man, this sucks. I have multi

01:04:35.579 --> 01:04:37.099
-actions, so I think I can't. I probably can't

01:04:37.099 --> 01:04:38.880
do one and that, right? That's not how that works.

01:04:38.980 --> 01:04:40.840
That's not how that works. Play the rules right.

01:04:41.019 --> 01:04:43.340
Yeah, not if it's the attack action. Like Blanche

01:04:43.340 --> 01:04:45.320
says, it says you get two attacks if you take

01:04:45.320 --> 01:04:48.639
the attack action. Yeah, so I think he looks

01:04:48.639 --> 01:04:51.900
over to you, Blanche. You see his eyes sort of

01:04:51.900 --> 01:04:55.940
well up red. He blinks very fast. A squirt of

01:04:55.940 --> 01:04:58.820
blood blasts out towards you. You're within 30

01:04:58.820 --> 01:05:00.619
feet. I can get you with this. I'm going to blood

01:05:00.619 --> 01:05:03.039
eye squirt you. I hate that a lot. It splats

01:05:03.039 --> 01:05:05.119
right into your face. I need you to roll for

01:05:05.119 --> 01:05:09.500
me. Blood eye bolt. This is really cool. By the

01:05:09.500 --> 01:05:12.280
way, stat block is from Flea Mortals. Really

01:05:12.280 --> 01:05:13.860
cool book. A lot of cool stat blocks. Give me

01:05:13.860 --> 01:05:16.920
a con save. Oh, okay. Hold on. We'll be blinded.

01:05:17.469 --> 01:05:21.469
For one minute. Do I get advantage when it's

01:05:21.469 --> 01:05:23.429
just for keeping a spell, or is it just when

01:05:23.429 --> 01:05:27.150
I am in Bladesong? Plus four to any con saving

01:05:27.150 --> 01:05:28.750
throw you make to maintain your concentration

01:05:28.750 --> 01:05:31.110
spell. Okay, damn, that sucked. But still, pretty

01:05:31.110 --> 01:05:34.969
good con here. There's a plus five. I'll give

01:05:34.969 --> 01:05:36.989
you a button for advantage. Ooh, this might be

01:05:36.989 --> 01:05:40.889
a good one for it. Yeah, I think so. Needed it,

01:05:40.969 --> 01:05:43.650
I think. First was a nine, so that's a 14 total.

01:05:43.849 --> 01:05:47.050
Next is a... Well, good thing for advantage,

01:05:47.210 --> 01:05:49.289
because the second roll was a natural one. Ooh.

01:05:50.309 --> 01:05:53.670
Is that 14 total? Yeah, of course. It's DC 15,

01:05:53.849 --> 01:05:56.349
isn't it? Or probably higher than that, but...

01:05:56.349 --> 01:05:59.469
I can't tell you what DC is, but you get the

01:05:59.469 --> 01:06:03.869
splat. You are blinded. Great. You make saves

01:06:03.869 --> 01:06:05.429
at the end of your turn, though, but right now,

01:06:05.469 --> 01:06:08.030
as this blood hits you... You are stricken by

01:06:08.030 --> 01:06:11.530
this blood in your face. It's in your eyes. Blaine's

01:06:11.530 --> 01:06:14.050
having a really bad day. You stand between two

01:06:14.050 --> 01:06:17.530
chairs that you no longer can see. That is my

01:06:17.530 --> 01:06:20.789
turn. Maybe it's going to do some damage to me.

01:06:23.210 --> 01:06:30.489
It's a crit. He's looking pretty bad. Suddenly

01:06:30.489 --> 01:06:35.030
this thing just bites into him. I'm not going

01:06:35.030 --> 01:06:38.760
to lose! That's my turn. That's a mimics turn.

01:06:38.880 --> 01:06:40.219
No other mimics will be in your range. That's

01:06:40.219 --> 01:06:42.679
Jules. I'm torn because I want to do something

01:06:42.679 --> 01:06:47.619
to him. And I think I'm going to. He's just kicking

01:06:47.619 --> 01:06:49.380
him while he's down. Yeah, well, first I'm going

01:06:49.380 --> 01:06:51.119
to cast Body Conspiration onto Blanche again.

01:06:51.300 --> 01:06:53.619
Oh, yeah, baby. I'm going to need that. That's

01:06:53.619 --> 01:06:55.159
pretty good. It's a bonus action. Blind Blanche.

01:06:55.179 --> 01:06:57.880
Good stuff. And then I'm going to cast Blindness

01:06:57.880 --> 01:07:03.199
Deafness. Oh, man. On to him. All right. Tit

01:07:03.199 --> 01:07:07.829
for tat. Oh, that is weirdly correct. Yeah. It's

01:07:07.829 --> 01:07:09.869
a con save. That's a fail. I can tell you right

01:07:09.869 --> 01:07:12.210
now, it's a fail. Nice. Which one? Blind or deaf?

01:07:12.670 --> 01:07:20.630
Blind. After what could you imagine? He's like

01:07:20.630 --> 01:07:22.929
already on stream. His eyes black over. He's

01:07:22.929 --> 01:07:27.489
kind of held down. Nice. Nice move. This guy

01:07:27.489 --> 01:07:31.329
is in a bad, bad spot. Is that your turn? Yeah,

01:07:31.409 --> 01:07:33.130
that's my turn. That's you, Blanche. What are

01:07:33.130 --> 01:07:35.280
you going to do? All right. Can she strike at

01:07:35.280 --> 01:07:36.880
these while blind? I mean, they're right next

01:07:36.880 --> 01:07:38.960
to her. She's in between two chairs. With disadvantage.

01:07:39.179 --> 01:07:40.460
You know where they were. We'll just say, like,

01:07:40.460 --> 01:07:42.980
we'll make an actual attack on this case. Okay.

01:07:43.380 --> 01:07:45.380
And I don't get to check until the end of my

01:07:45.380 --> 01:07:47.420
turn, you said? Not until the end of your turn.

01:07:47.539 --> 01:07:50.900
Okay. Well, let's roll. Because you know roughly

01:07:50.900 --> 01:07:52.159
where they are. I'm going to say, let's just

01:07:52.159 --> 01:07:56.239
say you need to hit some static DC, right? You're

01:07:56.239 --> 01:07:57.840
just trying to see if you can make contact. So

01:07:57.840 --> 01:08:01.789
let's say it's a DC 10. Okay. I have 10 AC. You're

01:08:01.789 --> 01:08:03.630
trying to hit that disadvantage on your attacks.

01:08:04.130 --> 01:08:08.489
Okay. Ichigenka is a plus 9 to hit, so I just

01:08:08.489 --> 01:08:11.530
have to not crit twice in a row, right? Maybe

01:08:11.530 --> 01:08:14.449
that's... Whoa. Maybe that's not the best way

01:08:14.449 --> 01:08:17.090
to handle this. There has to be, like, mechanically

01:08:17.090 --> 01:08:20.569
a way to, like... I think mine literally is advantage

01:08:20.569 --> 01:08:22.050
on attacks. Yeah, no, it's fine. That's what

01:08:22.050 --> 01:08:24.949
it is. Wow. Yeah, and that's not even giving

01:08:24.949 --> 01:08:27.510
me anything for knowing that the chairs are next

01:08:27.510 --> 01:08:28.670
to me. If you're blind and you're holding a sword

01:08:28.670 --> 01:08:29.729
in front of a chair, you know where the chair

01:08:29.729 --> 01:08:31.229
roughly is. You're going to make contact, right?

01:08:31.250 --> 01:08:32.750
Unless you're really goofed up. Yeah, so the

01:08:32.750 --> 01:08:35.149
first roll is an eight. I'm attacking the lower

01:08:35.149 --> 01:08:36.890
chair first, chair number 10, I think it is.

01:08:37.029 --> 01:08:41.149
Okay. Second roll was higher, so that's over

01:08:41.149 --> 01:08:44.989
10. That's a hit on the lower chair. The higher

01:08:44.989 --> 01:08:49.520
chair, seven was the first roll. Seven was the

01:08:49.520 --> 01:08:52.140
lower, still much over ten. So hit them both.

01:08:52.720 --> 01:08:55.680
Hit them both. Okay. You come out, slice into

01:08:55.680 --> 01:08:59.319
the chair. You hear... Move your hands up again.

01:08:59.380 --> 01:09:03.600
You slice into the chair. You hear... Nice. Number

01:09:03.600 --> 01:09:06.800
11. Here's the paper. Right there. You see it?

01:09:06.939 --> 01:09:09.600
Hell yeah. You see one. You don't even see it.

01:09:09.659 --> 01:09:11.520
You can feel a tongue. There's a little out towards

01:09:11.520 --> 01:09:14.520
you. But you hear... Pink as you slice in through

01:09:14.520 --> 01:09:18.539
wood. She leaps onto it. You jump. Tongue. You

01:09:18.539 --> 01:09:20.199
see Jules in your spot. It's like a tongue starts

01:09:20.199 --> 01:09:23.359
slapping down Blanche. She's leaping blind forward.

01:09:23.560 --> 01:09:25.720
You land on this chair, probably feet on it,

01:09:25.739 --> 01:09:29.380
sliding down. Boom. In a really cool way, sliding

01:09:29.380 --> 01:09:34.720
off the chair. And the crowd goes wild. Hell

01:09:34.720 --> 01:09:37.579
yeah. Yeah. And you know what? We'll call it

01:09:37.579 --> 01:09:37.760
there.
