00:00:00.780 --> 00:00:03.379
Hey, pants people. Do us a favor and go ahead

00:00:03.379 --> 00:00:07.160
and check out Good Times Roll. Hi there, Whaley.

00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:08.779
Hey, William. How are you doing this morning?

00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:11.199
How was the black coffee? It was good. Nothing

00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:13.919
much different than normal. Just routine. You

00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:18.100
know how I like it. Right. I guess so. I guess

00:00:18.100 --> 00:00:21.679
I do now. You've been with me how long and you

00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:23.469
still don't know that about me? You seem to have

00:00:23.469 --> 00:00:25.210
got maybe a little something going on with your

00:00:25.210 --> 00:00:27.350
nerves there since it's big test day, but. Yeah,

00:00:27.390 --> 00:00:29.050
I'm really excited to take this test. Really

00:00:29.050 --> 00:00:31.070
excited? I've been waiting to get in this. I

00:00:31.070 --> 00:00:32.270
nearly shit bricks when I was putting on the

00:00:32.270 --> 00:00:34.869
headset. Really? Absolutely. We've been, what,

00:00:34.950 --> 00:00:37.030
saving a couple years for this here? Yeah, exactly.

00:00:37.049 --> 00:00:39.210
There was no study guide or anything. Did you

00:00:39.210 --> 00:00:41.170
not study? All my peers were telling me, you

00:00:41.170 --> 00:00:43.869
got a study guide? You didn't, you didn't like

00:00:43.869 --> 00:00:49.090
study at all? Well, you know, I. There's a public

00:00:49.090 --> 00:00:52.450
resources, I'm sure, that we both, as I was saying

00:00:52.450 --> 00:00:54.090
earlier. I looked to the left. There's a big

00:00:54.090 --> 00:00:58.310
library building. It's the building to the left

00:00:58.310 --> 00:01:00.429
of the trials, and it says all information you

00:01:00.429 --> 00:01:02.729
need to know to pass the trials. Oh, of course.

00:01:02.929 --> 00:01:05.170
Sorry, I've been there. Clearly, I've been there.

00:01:05.370 --> 00:01:07.590
I was talking maybe about, because you know what

00:01:07.590 --> 00:01:09.650
they say. They say that you can't trust books.

00:01:12.540 --> 00:01:14.920
You can't trust the digital books because the

00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:17.079
government's been editing them and whatnot. You've

00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:20.060
been hearing about that? I've been on five channels.

00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:24.379
Billiam, this is hard to explain to you. The

00:01:24.379 --> 00:01:26.840
corporation is good for you. The corporation

00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:29.159
is good for you. Corporations prevent me from

00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:31.760
planting my corn every season, so it's a little

00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:33.579
hard for me to... I don't want to get into this

00:01:33.579 --> 00:01:35.219
with you right now. You got a little pamphlet

00:01:35.219 --> 00:01:36.980
I can take a look at before we walk in there?

00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:39.379
Actually, I'll go, and then I run over. I'm going

00:01:39.379 --> 00:01:42.299
to try to just see if there's something I can

00:01:42.299 --> 00:02:35.219
grab right at the front of the library. mind

00:02:35.219 --> 00:02:39.259
-wiping our worlds. Confused? I'm talking about

00:02:39.259 --> 00:02:42.199
the Dawn Incarnates. You might know them as a

00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:44.759
novelty, the old guardians of the Radiant Citadel

00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.419
that roamed the preserve of the ancestors, spouting

00:02:47.419 --> 00:02:50.120
nonsense and blessing new luminaries. Larger

00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.460
than life, yet overall harmless, right? Right?

00:02:52.580 --> 00:02:55.439
Wrong! It turns out these Incarnates hold power

00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:57.719
over the diamond itself. They hold power over

00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.789
you and me. We now know the diamond can touch

00:03:00.789 --> 00:03:03.050
our minds, a circuit the Incarnates have held

00:03:03.050 --> 00:03:07.430
onto for 250 years. Why? So they can pry their

00:03:07.430 --> 00:03:10.710
gemstone claws into our memories? Force us into

00:03:10.710 --> 00:03:14.169
subservience? We need to defend ourselves. We

00:03:14.169 --> 00:03:15.849
need to call for an emergency meeting of the

00:03:15.849 --> 00:03:17.870
Speakers for the Ancestors. We need to demand

00:03:17.870 --> 00:03:20.810
that they try Sholi for her crimes post -haste,

00:03:20.909 --> 00:03:23.550
and that they find a means to hold the Dawn Incarnates

00:03:23.550 --> 00:03:25.289
accountable for what they have done, and make

00:03:25.289 --> 00:03:28.099
sure they cannot do it again. And we need to

00:03:28.099 --> 00:03:30.020
look to the one figure that has the power to

00:03:30.020 --> 00:03:33.740
face down these threats and protect us. Atash,

00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:36.819
the Hand of the Sunweaver. Too long have our

00:03:36.819 --> 00:03:42.039
25, our 23 worlds been divided. Now more than

00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:44.780
ever, we need one trusted figure, Atash, to take

00:03:44.780 --> 00:03:46.960
the reins of our speakers, our luminaries, and

00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.580
of the Radiant Siddha that both connects and

00:03:49.580 --> 00:03:55.469
threatens us. Blanche, you fucking bozo. So that's

00:03:55.469 --> 00:03:59.729
the play. Spread distrust. Distrust in the system.

00:04:00.030 --> 00:04:03.169
What have you done, Blanche? Look what you got

00:04:03.169 --> 00:04:05.610
with your beers. I forgot to bring a beer. I'm

00:04:05.610 --> 00:04:08.430
sad. Are you a jealous loser? I'm very jealous.

00:04:08.530 --> 00:04:10.189
I don't have a beer when I get home. I'm going

00:04:10.189 --> 00:04:11.930
to drink in celebration over your smoldering

00:04:11.930 --> 00:04:15.889
corpses. Yeah, but at least we'll get that autograph,

00:04:16.170 --> 00:04:18.850
right? Get the autograph carved into your bones.

00:04:19.250 --> 00:04:21.740
I like wrote that speech. Like, that was one

00:04:21.740 --> 00:04:23.720
of the first things I wrote in this arc. Nice.

00:04:23.819 --> 00:04:25.759
That line. I was like, that's such a cool line.

00:04:25.899 --> 00:04:27.519
You're sick. Metal as shit. So I just do that.

00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:29.120
I write a line. I'm like, I have to find somewhere

00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.439
to drop that because I want to. It makes me happy.

00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.939
I don't know. I don't know. Hell of a boss fight

00:04:34.939 --> 00:04:39.019
we're in, guys. Oh, man. I've been so excited

00:04:39.019 --> 00:04:42.720
for this fight. We almost didn't do it. It was

00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:44.600
a die roll. We almost skipped right over this.

00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.100
Yeah. I'm glad we did because I was really excited

00:04:47.100 --> 00:04:48.839
for this. Hey, that lowers the blue line. Couldn't

00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.019
have said that line. Yeah. Let's talk about boss

00:04:52.019 --> 00:04:54.079
fights real quick. This is kind of fun. I want

00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:55.620
to get your take on a... I don't know if we've

00:04:55.620 --> 00:04:57.240
done this before, because I feel like some banters

00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:58.620
have probably, at this point in the show, done

00:04:58.620 --> 00:05:00.699
like 16 times. Favorite horror movie? Jurassic

00:05:00.699 --> 00:05:04.060
Park. But... Oops. Punch the mic. Go ahead. Just

00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:09.920
kick it. Snap the mic stick. But how did we talk

00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:13.839
about this one yet? Boss battles and boss HP.

00:05:14.060 --> 00:05:16.180
It's a very interesting thing amongst dungeon

00:05:16.180 --> 00:05:19.660
masters. And I want to get your take on... certain

00:05:19.660 --> 00:05:22.399
like ideas and certain kind of uh ways rules

00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:24.720
some dungeon masters have to play them now i

00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.639
know it's semi -popular uh at least a little

00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:29.620
bit you know known thing that some dungeon masters

00:05:29.620 --> 00:05:33.399
will forego having an hp number entirely their

00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:35.720
boss fight is basically just be like based off

00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:37.879
vibes yeah it's vibes full vibes it's like hey

00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:39.600
everyone's fine cool we end the fight you know

00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:41.199
we just go for a little while we say ah that's

00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:42.560
about that's about right we end the fight here

00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.939
um Personally, as a player, I would hate that.

00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:46.839
No, I'm not yucking your yum. I think it's cool.

00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:49.100
Everyone's got their style. I would hate that.

00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:53.019
What are your thoughts? I like to live with the

00:05:53.019 --> 00:05:56.639
real knowable possibility of danger and character

00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:02.980
death. And that means so much less when the big

00:06:02.980 --> 00:06:06.000
boss has no HP number. You know what I mean?

00:06:07.419 --> 00:06:09.439
You know, let's let's say, you know, we're fighting

00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:12.459
somebody and we do 150 points of damage. And,

00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.300
you know, the DM is like, oh, let's keep this

00:06:15.300 --> 00:06:17.439
going a little bit longer. And and a character

00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:19.500
dies. And it's like, yeah, but there's there's

00:06:19.500 --> 00:06:21.540
a reality where that boss could have been dead

00:06:21.540 --> 00:06:24.439
already. And just because, you know, you said

00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:28.139
it's not cool enough yet. There are consequences

00:06:28.139 --> 00:06:31.920
and those consequences are the hard work of building

00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.500
and flushing out this character is gone. Yeah.

00:06:35.620 --> 00:06:37.459
And it feels like your tools you're getting from

00:06:37.459 --> 00:06:39.139
leveling up, you're not utilizing. And the idea

00:06:39.139 --> 00:06:40.519
is the players will never know. They'll never

00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:42.220
know that's happening. So for them, it's like,

00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.079
it's more for the DM. As a DM, I think that would,

00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:48.029
that would bore me. I like. to feel as scared

00:06:48.029 --> 00:06:50.430
as you do because you know despite all i'm rooting

00:06:50.430 --> 00:06:53.110
for you obviously i want you to win this i really

00:06:53.110 --> 00:06:54.370
want you to win this but i want you to win this

00:06:54.370 --> 00:06:56.910
as close and as scary as possible that's your

00:06:56.910 --> 00:06:58.949
goal as a dm isn't like you're not trying to

00:06:58.949 --> 00:07:00.829
beat the players and you're not trying to like

00:07:00.829 --> 00:07:03.050
give the players an easy time you're trying to

00:07:03.050 --> 00:07:06.500
tow this incredibly fine line of they're shitting

00:07:06.500 --> 00:07:08.180
themselves scared and they're really pulling

00:07:08.180 --> 00:07:09.959
out every tool they have they're going to the

00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.160
dregs of their you know bag of holding to find

00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:14.360
the one little item the one crumb that can suddenly

00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.000
turn the tide in a bad situation but you want

00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:18.439
that to happen you want that to happen right

00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.759
exactly but if your players aren't smart enough

00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:22.639
and they're just sitting there casting cantrips

00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.800
every turn and they do 25 points of damage you

00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.600
can't say oh the bad guy's gonna roll over now

00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:30.939
and die because it's been nine rounds and you've

00:07:30.939 --> 00:07:33.019
done 25 points of damage you got a bunch of stevens

00:07:33.019 --> 00:07:38.740
in your party and they're just Idiots. Side note,

00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:41.139
I'm going to soundbite David saying, I want you

00:07:41.139 --> 00:07:45.279
guys to win. That's what we're describing a death

00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.860
scene. They'd be like, can your eyes close? I

00:07:47.860 --> 00:07:49.600
want you guys to win. I want you guys to win.

00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:51.439
I want you guys to win. I want you guys to win.

00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.490
I'm just fading into death. well that's the thing

00:07:54.490 --> 00:07:56.529
it's like it's it's give and take you know what

00:07:56.529 --> 00:07:59.610
i mean yeah the the game means less to me if

00:07:59.610 --> 00:08:02.670
there's no set number if there's an imaginary

00:08:02.670 --> 00:08:06.089
hp and the game means less to me if character

00:08:06.089 --> 00:08:08.529
death isn't a real possibility the stakes have

00:08:08.529 --> 00:08:11.009
to be real exactly like we're playing this real

00:08:11.009 --> 00:08:14.189
if it's not then what the fuck are we doing then

00:08:14.189 --> 00:08:16.769
what the fuck are we doing i believe in stakes

00:08:16.769 --> 00:08:19.209
so bad i'm like yeah rival magic doesn't really

00:08:19.209 --> 00:08:22.329
work i don't care next two point oh next one

00:08:22.329 --> 00:08:24.709
same thing rather magic who cares I don't want

00:08:24.709 --> 00:08:27.670
it that's fine I kind of wear it's high risk

00:08:27.670 --> 00:08:30.129
high reward I mean like the drama the drama I

00:08:30.129 --> 00:08:32.450
was about to say dramatics and drawings came

00:08:32.450 --> 00:08:33.830
out weird but I wouldn't I wouldn't hate it if

00:08:33.830 --> 00:08:35.610
it's not if it was harder to do it's very very

00:08:35.610 --> 00:08:37.710
limited that'd be kind of cool you know but like

00:08:37.710 --> 00:08:39.730
the whole at some point the original for a diamond

00:08:39.730 --> 00:08:41.870
is nothing you know it just it just gets more

00:08:41.870 --> 00:08:44.289
and more so easy to just not lose a character

00:08:44.289 --> 00:08:46.529
forever and I don't know it's the way I mean

00:08:46.529 --> 00:08:51.500
we're on if we're on episode 134 Really? Or maybe

00:08:51.500 --> 00:08:55.940
this is 136. This is 141. What? This is 141.

00:08:55.940 --> 00:08:58.480
For one, holy shit. And for two, Steven, how

00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.840
are you so far off? I thought I listened to 136

00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.100
or 134 like the other day. It was 139 released

00:09:05.100 --> 00:09:07.440
this past Monday. Oh my God. Steven still thinks

00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.659
we're releasing this in October. Oh yeah. Oh

00:09:09.659 --> 00:09:12.600
yeah. It's Halloween, right? Happy Halloween,

00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:15.559
everybody. Because our times suck, I need to

00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:17.720
explain. I just said 139 just happened a few

00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:20.659
days ago, and we're in 141. We're recording two

00:09:20.659 --> 00:09:22.899
in one night, so we just recorded 140. It's a

00:09:22.899 --> 00:09:25.460
twofer. Yeah, it's a twofer. That's right, yeah.

00:09:25.620 --> 00:09:27.179
So get ready for a second episode of Energy,

00:09:27.299 --> 00:09:29.740
real hard. But if a character dies that's been

00:09:29.740 --> 00:09:33.019
around for a long time, and then you just say,

00:09:33.179 --> 00:09:38.960
Uno reverse card, revive. I don't know. I'm not

00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:42.909
a huge fan of... Yeah. No, I feel that. I feel

00:09:42.909 --> 00:09:46.250
that. It's too easy as it stands is my big thing.

00:09:46.330 --> 00:09:48.149
It's too easy. If it was limited or something,

00:09:48.269 --> 00:09:50.789
if like, you know, a party got like one or something

00:09:50.789 --> 00:09:52.549
and then it's like, oh my gosh, you know, where

00:09:52.549 --> 00:09:54.309
do we use this? You know, what if one person

00:09:54.309 --> 00:09:55.889
will die in the same fight? And then it's a cool

00:09:55.889 --> 00:09:58.929
choice. I like, I like cool, scary, hard choices.

00:09:59.110 --> 00:10:02.309
Yeah. But, I don't know. I mean, the fact is,

00:10:02.389 --> 00:10:04.509
is the way that we're doing this is different.

00:10:04.970 --> 00:10:07.870
You know, we're playing a game, sure. We're playing

00:10:07.870 --> 00:10:10.070
the game our way. But we are telling a story.

00:10:10.460 --> 00:10:13.440
Yeah. We are telling a story. And if there's

00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:15.799
no stakes in that story, if it's not real, then

00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.679
it's just a boring ass story. It means nothing.

00:10:18.899 --> 00:10:20.460
Yeah. Like sometimes we're over here and we're

00:10:20.460 --> 00:10:21.960
going to, we're going to whip out like, you know,

00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:27.779
some, some. I'm going to be over there pulling

00:10:27.779 --> 00:10:30.600
on my action figures and Arlan snaps the gargoyle's

00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:33.620
stupid head. I love the narrative of it and I

00:10:33.620 --> 00:10:34.860
love to paint a picture of everything that's

00:10:34.860 --> 00:10:37.139
going on, but we are playing a real game too.

00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:39.200
We're doing the sidestepping into the narrative

00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:40.960
world and we're telling a story in that way.

00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.120
We're reading off a story in some ways, but this

00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:45.039
is also all based off consequences of your actions.

00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:46.659
Everything you do feeds into everything else

00:10:46.659 --> 00:10:49.480
and it's cool seeing the chaos that turns into

00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:52.159
this organized something, this line, this beautiful

00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:55.159
line, this path. If there's no better proof that

00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:58.220
we're not like pulling punches to like tell the

00:10:58.220 --> 00:11:01.659
story. Last episode where I blew half of my gold,

00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.340
two buttons, an hour of game time and got nothing

00:11:05.340 --> 00:11:09.600
out of it. It's true. That says it all right

00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:11.600
there. If I was fudging, that's where I'd fudge.

00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:13.240
That says it all right there. In my notes, you'd

00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:14.879
be fudging, you did it. And I was like, yeah,

00:11:14.899 --> 00:11:16.179
I'll probably get it. I know you'll still bet

00:11:16.179 --> 00:11:17.600
two buttons. I'm probably going to fail that.

00:11:17.700 --> 00:11:20.080
No, my wisdom's not that high, but just, you

00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:23.399
know, sometimes it goes that way. But speaking

00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:27.899
of October, before we get going. Happy October,

00:11:27.940 --> 00:11:30.100
everybody. It's almost October. Is there something

00:11:30.100 --> 00:11:32.840
you need to plug? Yes. The Vermont Anime and

00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:34.940
Gaming Expo. We'll be there. We're going. We're

00:11:34.940 --> 00:11:37.019
going to have fun and you will too in Burlington,

00:11:37.059 --> 00:11:42.879
Vermont. Good voice. Maybe I'll be the next Storyteller

00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:48.740
Rune. So yeah, you should join us there. It's

00:11:48.740 --> 00:11:50.600
going to be fun. Come hang out. Come talk anime.

00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:53.299
And you can tell us all about it on the Discord.

00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:56.559
I don't know. All right, get to the episode.

00:11:57.320 --> 00:11:59.019
Cut this guy off. Cut him off. Cut him off. Cut

00:11:59.019 --> 00:12:01.220
his mic. I know nothing about anime, but I'll

00:12:01.220 --> 00:12:03.500
be there having fun. Well, it's anime and gaming.

00:12:03.740 --> 00:12:05.639
I'm going to tell you everything about anime

00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:07.120
there, so don't worry about it. You're going

00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.360
to have the worst experience. What should I binge

00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:12.879
before then? We started MHA a while back, My

00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:15.379
Hero Academia. I started it. I lost it. That

00:12:15.379 --> 00:12:18.139
was the source that inspired me to make this

00:12:18.139 --> 00:12:22.120
setting. Or make changes to this setting. I don't

00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:23.240
know. I like that one. There's a lot of ones

00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:24.919
I like. What happened to getting to the show?

00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:27.100
Honestly, MHA kind of falls off, though. You

00:12:27.100 --> 00:12:28.600
got me talking. What are we going to do now?

00:12:28.659 --> 00:12:31.720
It really falls off later on. How about Lost?

00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:34.679
Dude, we'll get to Lost. Let's get to the show.

00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:41.200
Cut all our mics. Let's go. Let's open where

00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:45.429
we left off. Boom, boom, boom, missed parts as

00:12:45.429 --> 00:12:48.950
a Tyrannosaurus Rex, full -on Tyrannosaurus Rex,

00:12:49.190 --> 00:12:54.009
comes blasting out of the sort of forest around

00:12:54.009 --> 00:12:55.990
the park, down the path from whence you came

00:12:55.990 --> 00:12:58.610
towards the sort of entrance of the park. You

00:12:58.610 --> 00:13:01.309
see Jaune riding on top, screaming out his battle

00:13:01.309 --> 00:13:06.389
cry, For Golden Tides! For Golden Tides! And

00:13:06.389 --> 00:13:10.690
we freeze frame. And we hear a voiceover. Do

00:13:10.690 --> 00:13:13.659
it, do it. I suppose you're wondering how I got

00:13:13.659 --> 00:13:18.059
into this situation. Well, I'll make it brief.

00:13:20.019 --> 00:13:22.539
We cut to an image of a Santa Claus clothed,

00:13:22.539 --> 00:13:25.000
frost dirt and blood covered John Franklin standing

00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:27.960
in a steamy sandcastle sauna clutching something

00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:30.259
in his hand. Why did I write that sentence like

00:13:30.259 --> 00:13:34.519
that? We all love some alliteration. It all started

00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:36.340
a few days ago when I returned from a peculiar

00:13:36.340 --> 00:13:38.700
and sudden adventure in the mountains of Moor.

00:13:39.070 --> 00:13:41.129
Through some peculiar quirk of this teleportation

00:13:41.129 --> 00:13:43.529
magic, or perhaps the will of the dead god that

00:13:43.529 --> 00:13:45.870
rested within the mountaintop, I found myself

00:13:45.870 --> 00:13:48.330
in possession of a figurine of power in the shape

00:13:48.330 --> 00:13:51.509
of a noble Tyrannosaurus Rex. Now having made

00:13:51.509 --> 00:13:54.429
a rather poor showing during that escapade, I

00:13:54.429 --> 00:13:56.169
sought to train harder than ever in the heart

00:13:56.169 --> 00:13:58.269
of the sphere, and to learn how to summon the

00:13:58.269 --> 00:14:01.070
being connected to this figure. See a smash cut

00:14:01.070 --> 00:14:03.669
of Jean driving a bright glowing sphere into

00:14:03.669 --> 00:14:06.750
a sahagin -shaped training dummy. Felt by Jean

00:14:06.750 --> 00:14:08.549
sitting in a library, his head swimming between

00:14:08.549 --> 00:14:10.889
the figurine in his left hand and an open tome

00:14:10.889 --> 00:14:13.529
in his right. These efforts, while fruitful,

00:14:13.809 --> 00:14:17.009
were cut short by some troubling news. We cut

00:14:17.009 --> 00:14:18.909
to a scene of Jean Ledoux in a darkened bedroom

00:14:18.909 --> 00:14:22.009
watching a recap of the ugly coyote attack be

00:14:22.009 --> 00:14:25.009
a crystal projection. We see the white knuckles

00:14:25.009 --> 00:14:28.090
of Jean clutching royal sheets. See the news

00:14:28.090 --> 00:14:31.289
reflected in his unblinking eyes. as we watch

00:14:31.289 --> 00:14:33.350
Oren's network break down before the screen probably

00:14:33.350 --> 00:14:37.210
cuts to a magical difficulties message. And so,

00:14:37.370 --> 00:14:40.230
I bid a solemn goodbye to my damnable husband

00:14:40.230 --> 00:14:43.350
of Ledoux, and set off to ensure the safety of

00:14:43.350 --> 00:14:46.029
my luminary comrades of the Radiant Citadel.

00:14:46.769 --> 00:14:48.909
Jean and Ledoux, we see them before the open

00:14:48.909 --> 00:14:51.049
gate of the Sandcastle, sharing a kiss and a

00:14:51.049 --> 00:14:54.110
long embrace, before Jean finally breaks away,

00:14:54.389 --> 00:14:57.210
wipes his eyes, and begins his journey through

00:14:57.210 --> 00:15:00.100
the beaches and jungles of Noiri. followed by

00:15:00.100 --> 00:15:02.220
Jean stepping off the Bastide Jewel and onto

00:15:02.220 --> 00:15:04.240
the very populated docking bay of the Passage

00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:07.179
of Respite. We see a dramatic backshot, the top

00:15:07.179 --> 00:15:09.279
of the Royal Diamond looming over him as he steps

00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:12.340
out onto the head of the Sunweaver's fossil city.

00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:15.259
When I finally arrived at the Citadel not long

00:15:15.259 --> 00:15:17.919
ago, I had intended to move immediately to the...

00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:22.720
ugly coyote. But just then there was a buzz for

00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:25.419
the Passage of Respite, as an emergency transfer

00:15:25.419 --> 00:15:28.539
was... Called to hurry, for I knew Sire and Jules

00:15:28.539 --> 00:15:31.139
had gone the day before. I waited to see if perhaps

00:15:31.139 --> 00:15:33.460
it was them that demanded the transfer when...

00:15:33.460 --> 00:15:36.600
And we see the Amethyst Conqueror Jules sliding

00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:40.000
into place along the docking bay. And we see

00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:42.519
Sholay Brass step coldly and confidently down

00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:44.940
the ramp. Her eyes scan the crowd before her

00:15:44.940 --> 00:15:46.879
as paparazzi diamonds flash and questions are

00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:50.059
screamed her way. These eyes fall on a perplexed

00:15:50.059 --> 00:15:53.559
Jean Franklin. An eyebrow raises as she moves

00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:56.879
to meet him. We catch words exchanged between

00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:59.559
the two, and we, as audience to this little flashback

00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:03.279
montage, hear a snippet of Sholay's words. Your

00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:05.340
luminary partners are about to engage in battle

00:16:05.340 --> 00:16:07.539
against a foe that may rival the Storm Eye in

00:16:07.539 --> 00:16:10.519
sheer, terrifying strength. If you wish to fight

00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:12.899
alongside them, I can send the Amethyst back

00:16:12.899 --> 00:16:16.059
to Hauri. Make haste to the city of Yanido, to

00:16:16.059 --> 00:16:18.919
the Park of the Elders. At its center, you will

00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:24.169
find them. Now go! In return to our original

00:16:24.169 --> 00:16:28.570
freeze frame, Jaune's golden spear proffered

00:16:28.570 --> 00:16:33.950
forward, charging, face locked in furious, glorious,

00:16:34.049 --> 00:16:41.870
heroic, something, screaming. In a rush of action,

00:16:42.110 --> 00:16:48.009
time begins to move again. Now, I have one very

00:16:48.009 --> 00:16:50.909
important question for you both. Who wants the

00:16:50.909 --> 00:16:53.580
character sheet for Jaune? And who wants a sheet

00:16:53.580 --> 00:16:56.759
for the Tyrannosaurus Rex? I got them both right

00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:58.980
here on paper, baby. It should go to Steven.

00:16:59.629 --> 00:17:01.389
I mean, he's John Franklin. I think we'll each

00:17:01.389 --> 00:17:03.610
take one, right? You can each take one, or one

00:17:03.610 --> 00:17:04.710
of you can take both, whatever you want to do.

00:17:05.089 --> 00:17:06.930
It's a lot of characters. Having three in one

00:17:06.930 --> 00:17:08.829
fight's a lot. Having four in one fight's a lot.

00:17:09.029 --> 00:17:10.849
If you're feeling like you want... T -Rex is

00:17:10.849 --> 00:17:12.930
pretty simple. It's going to hit things. I'll

00:17:12.930 --> 00:17:14.390
take the T -Rex. You know John Franklin better

00:17:14.390 --> 00:17:16.410
than I do. Okie dokie. John's a little souped

00:17:16.410 --> 00:17:18.430
up. We haven't seen him. He was a little updated

00:17:18.430 --> 00:17:20.369
in the naked John Franklin shit I gave you for

00:17:20.369 --> 00:17:23.549
the live show, but he never utilized his smite.

00:17:23.569 --> 00:17:25.789
I assume he's learned those since. He actually

00:17:25.789 --> 00:17:28.599
does have Divine Smite now. Okay. Level 7, so

00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:34.019
he has 7 of those slots open. Sweet. T -Rex is

00:17:34.019 --> 00:17:36.359
just a beast. Jeremy's making a face. Holy shit.

00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:40.779
That's a lot of HP. That's a lot of HP. Did you

00:17:40.779 --> 00:17:42.279
catch the name of the T -Rex? Holy shit, yes.

00:17:44.740 --> 00:17:54.079
I did. The name is... Joan Francine. Named for

00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:58.940
her papa. Joan Francine. Joan Francine. Joan

00:17:58.940 --> 00:18:03.380
Francine. She's named for her papa. Yes. Come

00:18:03.380 --> 00:18:07.619
now. Hilarious. Holy. You've outdone yourself,

00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:09.019
David. You know what? If you laughed, I'd have

00:18:09.019 --> 00:18:11.819
given you a button. Yeah, uh -huh. Sure. Holy

00:18:11.819 --> 00:18:15.839
shit, that damage. Uncle Jean into initiative

00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:18.220
at the top of the round, given that that's when

00:18:18.220 --> 00:18:19.799
he entered. Oh, okay. Well, then I'm going to

00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:21.799
need a couple minutes to read this sheet. Take

00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:26.009
a few minutes. Holy fuck. Now, before we... dive

00:18:26.009 --> 00:18:28.829
hard into this just got back um i do want to

00:18:28.829 --> 00:18:30.589
touch on a few more details about the jasper

00:18:30.589 --> 00:18:32.730
transaurus rex because it made some changes if

00:18:32.730 --> 00:18:34.269
anyone knows a figurine that's already become

00:18:34.269 --> 00:18:39.769
obvious uh this figurine typically uh will allow

00:18:39.769 --> 00:18:41.670
it to summon a t -rex basically it's almost like

00:18:41.670 --> 00:18:43.210
this thing calls to a t -rex that sort of be

00:18:43.210 --> 00:18:46.369
on the plane it turns into that t -rex and this

00:18:46.369 --> 00:18:49.329
t -rex will last for up to one hour or until

00:18:49.329 --> 00:18:51.839
its hp is depleted Okay. Typically, it cannot

00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:54.660
be resummoned, used again, until 14 days have

00:18:54.660 --> 00:18:56.980
passed. We don't have that much downtime in this

00:18:56.980 --> 00:18:59.539
campaign, so I did a little thing here. I dropped

00:18:59.539 --> 00:19:01.920
it to three days. That's why it's back already.

00:19:02.420 --> 00:19:06.279
Okay. In doing this, I also weakened it a little

00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:08.000
bit. It is not the typical T -Rex stat block.

00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:10.680
It's very strong still, but I did drop it about

00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:13.259
a CR, took away some damage, took away some HP.

00:19:13.460 --> 00:19:15.720
It's not, I mean, it's still very powerful, but

00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:18.279
it's not, you know, shake the world powerful

00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:21.339
like it might have been. One more thing that's

00:19:21.339 --> 00:19:24.380
important to note. If you command the figurine

00:19:24.380 --> 00:19:26.240
while it's in Tyrannosaurus Rex form, so basically

00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:28.400
right now I'm going to say it has been commanded

00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:30.700
to charge. It is charging through. Following

00:19:30.700 --> 00:19:32.759
this charge, it might need a new command in order

00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:34.759
to act on its own or else it will just sort of

00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:39.019
defend itself, right? If you want to give it

00:19:39.019 --> 00:19:42.519
a command, you have to roll a d20. On a one,

00:19:42.619 --> 00:19:44.480
you lose control of the figurine and it becomes

00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:47.339
hostile to you and your companions until it is

00:19:47.339 --> 00:19:50.180
brought back to its figurine form. So it's a

00:19:50.180 --> 00:19:52.240
little scary when it gets in. You know, you need

00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:53.480
to make that roll whenever you command it. So

00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:55.420
maybe a command that's going to stick, and it

00:19:55.420 --> 00:19:56.559
will just kind of fan itself. So someone hits

00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:58.420
it, it will hit them back, but it might not go

00:19:58.420 --> 00:20:01.279
after certain targets unless you want to make

00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:03.859
it do that. That's the scary part of this thing.

00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:08.500
Okay. I want to say anybody in your party will

00:20:08.500 --> 00:20:10.319
have command of it. I guess Jaune technically

00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:14.319
is a summoner right now. I guess it should be

00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:15.920
Jaune that commands it, but Jaune will follow

00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:18.480
your commands. Sure. And you could swap it out

00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:19.640
to somebody else and someone else can attune

00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:21.140
to it and they can get it. Right now it's just

00:20:21.140 --> 00:20:24.019
Jaune's because of him having it. In character,

00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:26.160
you guys are probably really confused because

00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:28.019
you had no reason to believe that figurine even

00:20:28.019 --> 00:20:31.000
existed still. Right. So just so you know, T

00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:34.019
-Rex happened. And with that, I'm going to say

00:20:34.019 --> 00:20:36.279
it's the T -Rex's turn first because I think

00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:38.900
it makes sense for it to fully do its turn before

00:20:38.900 --> 00:20:40.880
Jaune does his since it is now at the edge of

00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:44.019
this arena about... 60 feet away from Rathalon,

00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:47.960
I believe. 50 feet away from Rathalon. Jean wants

00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:49.440
to do something that's going to get in there.

00:20:49.619 --> 00:20:56.180
So, Mr. Wolf, the T -Rex, is up. Sir, the cavalry

00:20:56.180 --> 00:21:00.779
is here! Is the T -Rex's current command to charge

00:21:00.779 --> 00:21:03.019
at a Rathalon? Oh, actually it is, right. It's

00:21:03.019 --> 00:21:05.519
currently a charge at... We'll say it's a charge

00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:07.440
at Rathalon, so it will attack a Rathalon if

00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:09.460
it charges up to him. I think that's fair. I

00:21:09.460 --> 00:21:12.450
mean, there's no... That's his command. Right.

00:21:12.509 --> 00:21:15.529
I mean, it would be a little bit of a risk to

00:21:15.529 --> 00:21:17.049
change the command. Yeah. You know what I mean?

00:21:17.230 --> 00:21:19.569
Yeah. I mean, I'm concerned that John Franklin

00:21:19.569 --> 00:21:23.910
appears to be riding him. He's riding on top

00:21:23.910 --> 00:21:26.769
of the head. Right up to a rathalon. Right. He

00:21:26.769 --> 00:21:28.769
is riding him, right? He is riding him. Okay.

00:21:28.869 --> 00:21:31.069
Are you okay with this, Stephen? I'm okay with

00:21:31.069 --> 00:21:32.289
this. Because we're going to go for it. Yeah.

00:21:32.390 --> 00:21:33.710
We're going to go for it. I think we need the

00:21:33.710 --> 00:21:37.279
big... Bad guy to go against the big good guy.

00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:39.420
It's like bear, no size, wobbling back and forth.

00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:41.319
He looks like he's going to fall off at any second.

00:21:41.420 --> 00:21:43.839
He's like, ah, ah, ah. So he's going up to a

00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:47.299
Rathalon. Okay. I believe you have 50 feet of

00:21:47.299 --> 00:21:50.079
movement, don't you? Yes, 50 feet. So T -Rex

00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:53.480
comes blasting and slides right up to the stone

00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:55.759
form that, again, looks like utterly shocked.

00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:59.019
Just turns its head in this direction, lets down

00:21:59.019 --> 00:22:00.359
its guard for just a moment. And then the last

00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:02.019
thing, it's trying to bring a sword up. Will

00:22:02.019 --> 00:22:04.930
this thing? Get some hits in. Let's see. Yeah,

00:22:04.950 --> 00:22:06.970
he has the multi -attack. He has the multi -attack.

00:22:06.990 --> 00:22:09.769
So he's got the first bite attack. We're going

00:22:09.769 --> 00:22:12.930
to go with that. All right. Oh, she, by the way,

00:22:12.930 --> 00:22:14.849
her name is Joan Francine. Oh, yeah, Joan Francine.

00:22:15.710 --> 00:22:19.930
This is going to be a 17 to hit. A 17. We'll

00:22:19.930 --> 00:22:23.609
miss. What? Oh, it's 18. Fuck. It's 18. God damn

00:22:23.609 --> 00:22:27.569
it. Damn it. It's 18. Goes to strike. And that

00:22:27.569 --> 00:22:29.230
sword comes up just in time. Oh, it's a stone

00:22:29.230 --> 00:22:32.720
sword. Boom. Holding in the T -Rex's mouth. Okay.

00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:35.240
That was the bite. Okay, well, now we're going

00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:37.259
to go with the tail. The tail. Let's see if we

00:22:37.259 --> 00:22:40.240
can still get something in. That's a dirty 20.

00:22:40.660 --> 00:22:42.880
Cracks against the legs. Boom! You hit with the

00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:46.099
tail. Give me some damage. 3d8 plus 6. Holy shit.

00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:51.160
Oh. If the target... Okay, what size is Arathelon?

00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:53.660
Too big. He is gargantuan. I think it's huge

00:22:53.660 --> 00:22:54.960
or smaller, correct? It's huge or smaller. Large

00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:58.319
or smaller. The tail is huge or smaller. Gotcha,

00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:00.630
gotcha, gotcha. Fuck. Yeah. All right, fine.

00:23:01.190 --> 00:23:03.430
Fine. He's a big fella. So he will not get the

00:23:03.430 --> 00:23:06.009
prone. Not get the prone. But other targets here,

00:23:06.049 --> 00:23:07.809
if you want to change target, take that risk.

00:23:07.970 --> 00:23:11.710
Nope. Nope. I want to see that one happen so

00:23:11.710 --> 00:23:16.630
badly. Absolute bloodshed. Oh my gosh. This might

00:23:16.630 --> 00:23:20.250
hurt a little. That's going to be 16. Oh, that

00:23:20.250 --> 00:23:22.349
hurts a little. Not the best, not the worst.

00:23:22.529 --> 00:23:25.150
Not nothing. Terrible. You got a good crack in

00:23:25.150 --> 00:23:27.150
there. And the tail comes out, smashes against

00:23:27.150 --> 00:23:29.210
the leg. You see a bunch of stone breaks off,

00:23:29.269 --> 00:23:34.990
bursts to flame. Hell yeah. That's T -Rex's turn.

00:23:35.470 --> 00:23:38.710
All right. Jaune is on the head that bites down.

00:23:38.970 --> 00:23:41.970
He's suddenly just hanging above Arathlon. I

00:23:41.970 --> 00:23:43.650
think the sword is like locked in the T -Rex's

00:23:43.650 --> 00:23:46.170
mouth. Jaune sees an opportunity to make a move

00:23:46.170 --> 00:23:47.910
here as the T -Rex has been stilled and he can

00:23:47.910 --> 00:23:50.529
sort of stand properly on wobbling legs. Spear

00:23:50.529 --> 00:23:53.670
out. What's he doing? Standing up, spear out.

00:23:53.910 --> 00:24:00.549
He's going to issue a nightly challenge to Arathlon.

00:24:00.650 --> 00:24:03.569
I don't understand what's happening and I don't

00:24:03.569 --> 00:24:07.210
know who you are. But I challenge you! Wait,

00:24:07.250 --> 00:24:09.049
how does he not know who he is? He played with

00:24:09.049 --> 00:24:11.609
his action figure. I guess he'd recognize him.

00:24:11.650 --> 00:24:13.170
He doesn't understand why there's a statue of

00:24:13.170 --> 00:24:15.569
an undead. I guess, yeah. For him, it's like

00:24:15.569 --> 00:24:16.950
he was told by Sho, like, hey, there's a big

00:24:16.950 --> 00:24:18.710
scary guy. And he shows up. He just remembered

00:24:18.710 --> 00:24:20.569
a Rathal on the way here. So I guess he's probably

00:24:20.569 --> 00:24:25.009
figured something. Yeah. So that is a... You're

00:24:25.009 --> 00:24:25.950
right. You're right. You called me on it. Just

00:24:25.950 --> 00:24:28.450
like, I don't know what's happening here. But

00:24:28.450 --> 00:24:32.240
a Rathalon brass, the supernova. I... will outshine

00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:36.400
you the fisher king has come to claim you nice

00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:41.119
um so it doesn't give a type of saving throw

00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:46.019
it just says a dc 13 saving throw oh for nightly

00:24:46.019 --> 00:24:49.039
challenge i believe it's charisma they're not

00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:52.420
doing that's weird to me i'll let you look whichever

00:24:52.420 --> 00:24:55.259
stat is lowest oh it shouldn't be charisma then

00:24:55.259 --> 00:24:59.849
i hope you know i'm gonna say I don't know. I'm

00:24:59.849 --> 00:25:01.349
going to say Wisdom. I'm going to say Wisdom

00:25:01.349 --> 00:25:02.670
because I don't know and that seems like a safe

00:25:02.670 --> 00:25:05.230
option for it. We'll just go with that. I like

00:25:05.230 --> 00:25:08.430
that. His charisma is probably like plus 12 or

00:25:08.430 --> 00:25:10.490
some stupid thing. He has a very high charisma,

00:25:10.569 --> 00:25:13.569
but I think between the two, this feels more

00:25:13.569 --> 00:25:15.349
Wisdom -y as you're kind of like, it's like his

00:25:15.349 --> 00:25:18.750
mental effect he's trying to hold against. That's

00:25:18.750 --> 00:25:21.829
fine. It's a low save anyways. I'm expecting

00:25:21.829 --> 00:25:26.599
him to make it, but... maybe not as a 10 oh my

00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:31.299
god it's dc 13 holy shit i did not expect that

00:25:31.299 --> 00:25:34.940
to happen okay so what that means holy shit is

00:25:34.940 --> 00:25:38.079
that um wait i could damn it do i burn a thing

00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:40.099
it's too late i already said it it's too late

00:25:40.099 --> 00:25:45.259
that means that uh um Sorry, reading real fast.

00:25:45.380 --> 00:25:49.839
That means that this creature is vulnerable to

00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:54.119
Jaune's spear attacks. Holy shit. And while vulnerable,

00:25:54.359 --> 00:25:58.579
he has disadvantage against targets other than

00:25:58.579 --> 00:26:02.819
Jaune Franklin. That's gnarly. Yeah. You get

00:26:02.819 --> 00:26:04.279
to reroll the saving throw at the end of each

00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:07.960
turn. Okay. All right. Still, for this turn,

00:26:08.099 --> 00:26:10.420
Jaune now has... Holy shit. That was his action?

00:26:10.619 --> 00:26:13.440
Yes, that was his action. Okay. Does he even

00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:15.000
have... I don't think he has a single bonus action.

00:26:15.500 --> 00:26:18.660
He has a nice little reaction there, but I guess

00:26:18.660 --> 00:26:20.180
that would also work on the T -Rex if it came

00:26:20.180 --> 00:26:21.980
down to it. He could guard the T -Rex. Kind of

00:26:21.980 --> 00:26:23.539
wild, but why not? That's the only one he's going

00:26:23.539 --> 00:26:24.779
to be five feet away from while he's riding.

00:26:24.940 --> 00:26:27.279
He swaps little positions for this so he's under

00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:29.720
the T -Rex. It doesn't work on the T -Rex. It

00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:32.079
doesn't work on the T -Rex. So hold on. Can Jaune

00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:35.079
still command the T -Rex if he's off the T -Rex?

00:26:35.500 --> 00:26:38.740
Yes. Okay. So that's an option. Yeah, since he

00:26:38.740 --> 00:26:40.579
summoned it, if he speaks a command, it will

00:26:40.579 --> 00:26:45.539
follow that command probably. All right. Real

00:26:45.539 --> 00:26:48.599
fast, though, just point of order. Action economy,

00:26:48.740 --> 00:26:50.339
what would it take for Jaune to get off of the

00:26:50.339 --> 00:26:55.359
T -Rex? Just movement or? Movement. Okay. I'm

00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:57.180
not there yet, but. He can either climb down,

00:26:57.259 --> 00:26:58.539
which will cost a little more movement, or he

00:26:58.539 --> 00:27:00.740
can jump down and take some damage. Cool, cool,

00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:04.089
cool, cool. Noted. Okay. And if I do something

00:27:04.089 --> 00:27:05.690
crazy with this thing, there's no saddle, so

00:27:05.690 --> 00:27:07.529
I might just, like, roll. If the T -Rex gets

00:27:07.529 --> 00:27:09.369
hit, I might just have Jaune rolled or fall off

00:27:09.369 --> 00:27:13.710
anyway. I want it to, like, grind down the back

00:27:13.710 --> 00:27:21.410
of the T -Rex if he gets off. Just pull Legolas,

00:27:21.490 --> 00:27:24.910
that shit. Yeah, exactly. All right, Jaune's

00:27:24.910 --> 00:27:29.680
spear out, light shines. Orathlon sort of stony

00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:32.059
orb eyes suddenly start glowing that same light

00:27:32.059 --> 00:27:35.160
and they fixate on him. That line, I will outshine

00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:40.339
you. You can see it struck a nerve. Rage forming

00:27:40.339 --> 00:27:43.259
in the throat like the heat of a volcano. And

00:27:43.259 --> 00:27:46.440
that's Chester. Chester. All right, Chester.

00:27:46.440 --> 00:27:50.740
Holy shit, Jules, is that a T -Rex? Yeah. You

00:27:50.740 --> 00:27:52.480
were there. No, I wasn't. Oh, no, you weren't

00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:55.410
there. Holy shit, we were. What the fuck? I want

00:27:55.410 --> 00:27:57.349
to shoot the guy! Wait, it's been so long. He

00:27:57.349 --> 00:27:58.809
wasn't there. Was he there? He was not in the

00:27:58.809 --> 00:28:00.150
live show, no. Damn it. No, he wasn't in the

00:28:00.150 --> 00:28:02.210
live show. No, yeah, you weren't there. Yeah.

00:28:02.670 --> 00:28:07.910
It's the T -Rex. It was Jaune and Akio. Akio

00:28:07.910 --> 00:28:09.730
wasn't there. No, it was just Jaune. Jaune and

00:28:09.730 --> 00:28:12.910
Ringbell. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, that's right.

00:28:12.970 --> 00:28:14.589
I was thinking about... Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't

00:28:14.589 --> 00:28:17.789
believe you guys remember the T -Rex. Yeah. All

00:28:17.789 --> 00:28:20.609
right. Chester is going to go for that little

00:28:20.609 --> 00:28:24.940
gargoyle bitch. Ooh, okay. Closest to us. Okay.

00:28:25.660 --> 00:28:28.299
Yeah. That's what he's going to do. The one that's

00:28:28.299 --> 00:28:32.440
sort of between, now between, yeah, next to Arathlon,

00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:34.559
next to the cat stone, which is also floating

00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:36.440
right beside the T -Rex, a whole kind of cluster

00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:38.940
of activity there. You're firing into that cluster.

00:28:39.259 --> 00:28:45.339
Give me that roll. That's going to be 15. 15

00:28:45.339 --> 00:28:47.839
hits. Nice. Great. Okay. I mean, if you miss,

00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:49.720
it's not so bad either. Yeah, it's not the worst.

00:28:49.740 --> 00:28:55.160
Right, exactly. Yeah. Fuck. For only seven. Seven.

00:28:55.619 --> 00:28:57.960
Piercing. Hey, seven ain't nothing. Yeah. Boom.

00:28:58.440 --> 00:29:01.920
Crack. This thing gets hit hard. Already took

00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:04.920
a little hit from the stone, I believe. I just

00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:08.660
want to crit and max damage. Right? We all just

00:29:08.660 --> 00:29:11.099
want to crit, baby. Yeah. All right. That's Chesta.

00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:13.359
Crossbow goes out. He's going to load the next

00:29:13.359 --> 00:29:20.589
one. And that is Arathelon. I don't like it.

00:29:20.609 --> 00:29:22.309
I don't like it. I mean, I have to fight. I guess

00:29:22.309 --> 00:29:24.710
I have to fight Jean now, right? Oh, God. You

00:29:24.710 --> 00:29:26.549
should fight the T -Rex. I'm going to make two

00:29:26.549 --> 00:29:28.509
attacks on Jean Franklin. Fuck. Who's standing

00:29:28.509 --> 00:29:30.109
on top of the T -Rex because I got challenged

00:29:30.109 --> 00:29:32.509
and I had disadvantage on anybody else, so that

00:29:32.509 --> 00:29:33.970
sucked. There's not really anything I can do

00:29:33.970 --> 00:29:35.509
about it. I need to start using my resistances

00:29:35.509 --> 00:29:37.029
now because now I'm a little scared, but here

00:29:37.029 --> 00:29:41.609
we go. Two attacks with my massive stone flame

00:29:41.609 --> 00:29:45.849
dome. The first one, I believe, is actually...

00:29:46.500 --> 00:29:49.180
Check. No flanking. Nope. Yeah. That is probably

00:29:49.180 --> 00:29:51.319
going to be a miss. Thank goodness. With a 15.

00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:55.920
Oh, yeah. Bad roll. It's a natural 20. Ouch.

00:29:56.460 --> 00:29:58.559
It's a natural 20. Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch.

00:29:58.559 --> 00:30:01.059
This is going to hurt. Oh, shit. A lot. I'm going

00:30:01.059 --> 00:30:03.119
to need a pen to keep track of HP. I'm going

00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:05.180
to need a pen to keep track of what I'm rolling

00:30:05.180 --> 00:30:07.759
here. This is crazy. Here we go. Oh, my gosh.

00:30:07.819 --> 00:30:17.180
Hang on a second. Bludgeoning part was not great.

00:30:17.299 --> 00:30:20.259
It was only 11 points of damage. Okay. Now the

00:30:20.259 --> 00:30:24.299
fire part. Oh, sorry, no. 11... No, sorry, it

00:30:24.299 --> 00:30:26.160
wasn't gray. It was only 17 points of damage.

00:30:26.180 --> 00:30:29.180
Right, I had the plus. Silly me. Now the fire

00:30:29.180 --> 00:30:37.579
part. Sorry. Involuntary reaction there. Oh,

00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:41.200
my God! Oh, fuck. Stop. Classic John Franklin.

00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:44.720
Classic John Franklin is going to take a million

00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:46.519
points of damage. You need to do some math here.

00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:49.059
What did I say, 21? Holy shit. No, sorry, 17.

00:30:49.220 --> 00:30:52.000
No, you didn't say 21. It went from 11 to 17

00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:57.619
to 21 real fast, man. 17. Final answer. No, wait.

00:30:57.680 --> 00:31:00.299
Hang on. Hang on. Because it was a... Hang on.

00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:03.579
15. Final answer. I promise this time. Okay.

00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:06.759
Okay, 15 was the bludgeoning. Okay. Fuck. Let

00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:08.460
me, this is hard. Hang on. This is math. Hang

00:31:08.460 --> 00:31:12.500
on. I'm very tired. Second episode. Episode two.

00:31:12.859 --> 00:31:15.599
Give me that. All right. So, help me out. What's

00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:16.900
eight plus eight plus eight? Because I rolled

00:31:16.900 --> 00:31:21.099
three max. 24. 24? Thank you. Fuck. Six would

00:31:21.099 --> 00:31:24.000
be, what's that now? 30. 30. Okay, 30 more damage.

00:31:24.099 --> 00:31:29.700
That is 45 damage total. Holy fuck. He has 60

00:31:29.700 --> 00:31:33.390
HP. Oh, he's still alive then. Jaune comes charging

00:31:33.390 --> 00:31:35.349
in, challenges him, and Arathne, like I said,

00:31:35.430 --> 00:31:38.769
hot rage. Sword comes sliding up. Jaune tries

00:31:38.769 --> 00:31:41.170
to put his shield up in time, but the power of

00:31:41.170 --> 00:31:43.970
this attack absolutely rocks him. I think he,

00:31:43.970 --> 00:31:45.589
like, wobbles with the T -Rex and just takes

00:31:45.589 --> 00:31:47.750
this nasty strike. The first one, he parries.

00:31:48.049 --> 00:31:51.390
The second one comes down perfectly, crushing

00:31:51.390 --> 00:31:56.450
into him. Fire rips over his body. He's engulfed

00:31:56.450 --> 00:31:59.630
in flames from the sword. Pressed down against

00:31:59.630 --> 00:32:02.990
the T -Rex's head. Down on one knee, but still

00:32:02.990 --> 00:32:07.269
trying to hold strong. Jaune is in rough shape.

00:32:07.690 --> 00:32:11.349
But that's my turn. Okay. What level is Jaune?

00:32:12.109 --> 00:32:14.349
He is, same as you, level seven. Seven? Okay.

00:32:14.430 --> 00:32:19.670
Yeah. And that's Akio. Oh, God. I'm so not ready

00:32:19.670 --> 00:32:22.930
for Akio's turn. I gotta drop Jaune. I gotta

00:32:22.930 --> 00:32:26.549
drop Jaune because that effect is so good. Yeah.

00:32:27.089 --> 00:32:32.480
So... Why did I give him that? Idiot. Idiot that

00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:35.279
I am. All right. I'm looking through, and I can't

00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:38.940
see anything better to do than two attacks with

00:32:38.940 --> 00:32:40.920
Ichigenka. Let me go real quick and make sure.

00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:45.579
Oh. What? I made a mistake. Sorry. Forgot to

00:32:45.579 --> 00:32:48.599
add the tigers into initiative. Oh. Oh, no. You're

00:32:48.599 --> 00:32:51.089
good. Never mind. I forgot my notes. I had initially

00:32:51.089 --> 00:32:54.549
got 15. I put down a 5 because I seemed more

00:32:54.549 --> 00:32:57.730
reasonable. Just die already. Ooh, okay. One's

00:32:57.730 --> 00:33:01.269
going to hit for sure with a 19. The other is

00:33:01.269 --> 00:33:05.049
definitely not. So we got one hit with... Oh,

00:33:05.049 --> 00:33:09.670
wait! 19 is a crit! Improved... Critical. Extra

00:33:09.670 --> 00:33:11.150
critical stuff. Oh, holy shit. Wait, wait, wait.

00:33:11.150 --> 00:33:13.170
Extra critical, which means... Is it 20 since

00:33:13.170 --> 00:33:16.529
you can't get it? Or is it... Oh, yes. With a

00:33:16.529 --> 00:33:20.559
20... Okay. Ichigenka does extra damage, but

00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:23.700
even still, improve critical. So that's double

00:33:23.700 --> 00:33:25.359
the damage die, right? And that crit is coming.

00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:27.500
It's coming. And that is double the damage die.

00:33:27.700 --> 00:33:32.400
Okay. So it's going to be 2d8 plus 6. Okay. Ooh,

00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:34.759
Akio's getting some serious music. I can't roll.

00:33:35.799 --> 00:33:40.730
12. 12 damage. 12 ain't bad. Another slice rips

00:33:40.730 --> 00:33:44.289
through. Stone leg. Molten sort of magma following

00:33:44.289 --> 00:33:47.470
the sword, but Ichigenka is unfazed. The noble

00:33:47.470 --> 00:33:51.029
samurai's blade. Holy shit. Anything else, Kyo?

00:33:51.269 --> 00:33:55.069
No, he's got no bonus actions, so that is it

00:33:55.069 --> 00:33:58.190
for him. I'm going to gargoyle your ass. Fuck.

00:33:58.869 --> 00:34:03.900
Yeah. Wait a second. Go for it. All right, here

00:34:03.900 --> 00:34:06.299
we go. Gargoyle on Ichigenka. I guess a gargoyle

00:34:06.299 --> 00:34:09.480
on the cat rock because, I mean, gosh. Or the

00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:11.800
T -Rex. T -Rex is a pretty big deal. We'll get

00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:15.599
to that. First, we're going to hit you. I really

00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:17.739
don't know if I want to waste my warding bark,

00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:22.289
so I don't think I'm going to. It's a good thing

00:34:22.289 --> 00:34:24.550
you didn't, because I rolled very low. Both attacks.

00:34:24.690 --> 00:34:27.570
Two techs flash out, and Akio, fully kind of

00:34:27.570 --> 00:34:30.289
running on adrenaline, spins around, ping, ping,

00:34:30.369 --> 00:34:32.369
parries. Gargoyle sort of slides back, couple

00:34:32.369 --> 00:34:34.610
of fingers go flying off as the blade strikes

00:34:34.610 --> 00:34:37.989
stone on the other side, sliding across. I'm

00:34:37.989 --> 00:34:40.550
going to have this gargoyle actually move a little

00:34:40.550 --> 00:34:43.050
bit to go around and start wailing on the bigger

00:34:43.050 --> 00:34:44.789
threat, the T -Rex. I've got to get rid of this

00:34:44.789 --> 00:34:47.230
thing. Interesting. Okay. I mean, one's just

00:34:47.230 --> 00:34:49.449
a flying rock. I feel like that's not the biggest

00:34:49.449 --> 00:34:54.179
problem here. Ooh, I don't know. That first attack.

00:34:55.119 --> 00:35:00.579
12 on one, 13 on the other. T -Rex AC. Oh, shit.

00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:04.539
Sorry. 13 hits. Okay, I got T -Rex's HP in here,

00:35:04.619 --> 00:35:07.420
so I can just sort of do that myself. Must be

00:35:07.420 --> 00:35:10.579
nice. Sorry for the space out. I was thinking

00:35:10.579 --> 00:35:12.559
about what I was going to do next move. I wasn't

00:35:12.559 --> 00:35:13.980
paying attention. If you don't get a next move,

00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:16.239
I do eight points of damage to the T -Rex. Okay.

00:35:16.860 --> 00:35:20.030
Good solid claw. Behind you. What? There's a

00:35:20.030 --> 00:35:22.170
permanent marker. Can you grab it for me? I need

00:35:22.170 --> 00:35:25.110
to keep track of Sean's HP. Oh, right. I can

00:35:25.110 --> 00:35:27.030
do that, too. I have my thing as well. God damn

00:35:27.030 --> 00:35:29.130
it, David. Hell yeah, I'll do that. Can you do

00:35:29.130 --> 00:35:30.550
the same thing for the T -Rex? Ooh, look at that.

00:35:30.550 --> 00:35:32.369
15 left. That's rough, buddy. Yeah, I got T -Rex

00:35:32.369 --> 00:35:34.070
on here. Okay, cool. I'll keep track of them.

00:35:35.070 --> 00:35:37.530
Okay. That is the Gorgoyles. How much damage

00:35:37.530 --> 00:35:41.869
is that for the T -Rex? Eight total. Okay. All

00:35:41.869 --> 00:35:44.690
right. That's Blanche. Gorgoyles striking out.

00:35:45.309 --> 00:35:49.199
Okay. Blanche is going to first use her bonus

00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:54.159
action to cast a spell. Okay. All right. We're

00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:57.980
casting shadow blade. Oh, empty hand, empty sheath.

00:35:57.980 --> 00:36:00.760
Oh, that's so, yeah. Casting shadow blade at

00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:03.820
third level. And then we're going to make two

00:36:03.820 --> 00:36:06.739
attacks with it. So it's just the plus eight

00:36:06.739 --> 00:36:09.719
now instead of the Ichigenka's plus nine. Okay.

00:36:09.719 --> 00:36:11.420
I mean, the light is still pretty good here.

00:36:11.500 --> 00:36:12.900
If you can find a way to dim it, you can get

00:36:12.900 --> 00:36:14.739
advantage. But right now it's still, it's like,

00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:16.059
it's like high noon. I don't have any magical

00:36:16.059 --> 00:36:18.460
abilities to do that right now. Split the mist

00:36:18.460 --> 00:36:21.840
around. It's still high noon. Oh my God. Oh,

00:36:21.940 --> 00:36:27.500
I'm so excited. So that's a 15 and a 17 on the

00:36:27.500 --> 00:36:31.760
gargoyle between Blanche and Akio. So plus two.

00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:34.940
Yeah. I just add the flanking as I was. Talking

00:36:34.940 --> 00:36:37.400
about it. Two hits. Okay, sweet. This is going

00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:39.340
to be gnarly. Yeah, it's going to be super gnarly

00:36:39.340 --> 00:36:45.159
because Shadow Blade at third level is... Is

00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:49.420
it 3d8, I think? Ooh. Yeah, it's 3d8. So that's

00:36:49.420 --> 00:36:53.260
6d8. That's pretty good. 6d8. Holy shit. Does

00:36:53.260 --> 00:36:54.960
anybody have any d8s I can use? That's like one

00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:57.300
attack from my dude. I have a bunch here. Or

00:36:57.300 --> 00:36:58.619
even if I can just get... Do you want three?

00:36:59.260 --> 00:37:01.460
If I can get one more, then I'll roll them twice.

00:37:01.739 --> 00:37:10.329
Cool. 16 on the first hit. Wow. Holy shit. 15

00:37:10.329 --> 00:37:13.269
on the second hit. Holy shit. Wow. It's actually

00:37:13.269 --> 00:37:16.789
still up, but barely. Whoa. Barely up. All right,

00:37:16.829 --> 00:37:20.510
sweet. Oh, damn, that's actually really cool.

00:37:21.269 --> 00:37:23.989
Okay, you strike in. What's it look like as this

00:37:23.989 --> 00:37:25.690
blade strikes out as you do some serious damage?

00:37:25.789 --> 00:37:28.110
What's it look like when you hit stone with this

00:37:28.110 --> 00:37:33.050
thing? Yes, that's your armpit. Shut up. So you're

00:37:33.050 --> 00:37:36.309
just taking a stance. Get into character over

00:37:36.309 --> 00:37:39.610
there. Let's pick on him. Look at the nerd. I

00:37:39.610 --> 00:37:47.409
have a sword in my hand. She starts to... Blanche

00:37:47.409 --> 00:37:51.690
starts to summon this blade. And it looks like

00:37:51.690 --> 00:37:58.570
water from the depths of the ocean. And she whispers

00:37:58.570 --> 00:38:03.489
to herself. deep sea current and slash slash

00:38:03.489 --> 00:38:07.929
does massive damage as low as blanch her charge

00:38:07.929 --> 00:38:10.869
is here perhaps reinvigorated perhaps terrified

00:38:10.869 --> 00:38:13.789
by jean sudden inclusion into this fight dies

00:38:13.789 --> 00:38:16.989
in didn't even really like acknowledge jean i'm

00:38:16.989 --> 00:38:19.210
too busy in the fight hey that's how it is you're

00:38:19.210 --> 00:38:21.510
in the fight you're in it it's like surprising

00:38:21.510 --> 00:38:22.869
that he's here and you're probably happy but

00:38:22.869 --> 00:38:25.130
also like he just took this nasty blow and for

00:38:25.130 --> 00:38:26.809
blanch it's probably another one of those complications

00:38:26.809 --> 00:38:30.570
yeah um Yeah, right, exactly. Like taking the

00:38:30.570 --> 00:38:34.349
time out of the fight to be like, hey, what are

00:38:34.349 --> 00:38:37.969
you doing here? Yeah. There'll be time for talk

00:38:37.969 --> 00:38:41.969
if you live. That's your turn, Blanche? That's

00:38:41.969 --> 00:38:46.510
Blanche's turn. Okay. Now is the tigers. Oh,

00:38:46.590 --> 00:38:52.409
the tigers. Let's see here. Distance -wise. Ooh,

00:38:52.530 --> 00:38:54.530
only 40 feet, huh? I kind of forgot about the

00:38:54.530 --> 00:38:57.730
tigers. That ain't great for me. It's all right.

00:38:57.789 --> 00:38:59.309
Honestly, I kind of forgot the tigers were pretty

00:38:59.309 --> 00:39:03.150
far away. Damn. Okay. I was really hoping that

00:39:03.150 --> 00:39:07.090
I would delete that gargoyle. Wait. I might be

00:39:07.090 --> 00:39:10.849
within 40 feet of Blanche. Oh, 45. No. Suck it.

00:39:10.849 --> 00:39:14.469
Crap. Suck it. Crap biscuits. Okay, hang on a

00:39:14.469 --> 00:39:17.690
second. Can I think cool here? 20 feet creature.

00:39:17.829 --> 00:39:19.389
Hit the claw attack. Same turn. Does not give

00:39:19.389 --> 00:39:22.570
me more movement. All right. I mean, they're

00:39:22.570 --> 00:39:24.210
going to have to double move. This sucks, but

00:39:24.210 --> 00:39:26.650
it's what it is. One slides up, comes probably

00:39:26.650 --> 00:39:31.110
sliding out, mistrailing its body, kind of emitting

00:39:31.110 --> 00:39:33.969
off of the stripes on its form. This gray tiger,

00:39:34.150 --> 00:39:39.409
a huge form, slides up behind you, Blanche. Another

00:39:39.409 --> 00:39:41.969
one's going to move up behind the T -Rex, kind

00:39:41.969 --> 00:39:45.570
of flanking with a Rathalon. And the third is

00:39:45.570 --> 00:39:49.610
coming up. Wait a second. The third is only 40

00:39:49.610 --> 00:39:54.409
feet away from old Chester. Oh, you suck. Chester

00:39:54.409 --> 00:39:56.570
spins around with a crossbow. I just think I'm

00:39:56.570 --> 00:39:59.610
leaping onto him, and I'm going to make some

00:39:59.610 --> 00:40:02.710
attacks, or at least an attack on Chester Meeps.

00:40:02.769 --> 00:40:05.449
And because I moved up, I'm going to make a pouncing

00:40:05.449 --> 00:40:08.469
attack, which might be worse. Fucked up everything

00:40:08.469 --> 00:40:10.010
I was going to do for the next turn. Of course.

00:40:10.429 --> 00:40:13.849
Chester is going to be a 22 to hit. Oh, my God.

00:40:14.730 --> 00:40:17.010
I rolled really good. It's not an indication

00:40:17.010 --> 00:40:18.889
of me being insane. It's just a really good roll.

00:40:18.949 --> 00:40:21.010
David, before we get too far, at some point,

00:40:21.050 --> 00:40:24.909
I need you to re -roll that save for Nightly

00:40:24.909 --> 00:40:26.929
Challenge. You re -roll at the end of your turn.

00:40:27.349 --> 00:40:29.809
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you. Okay. I

00:40:29.809 --> 00:40:31.269
also forgot to do my legendaries. Thank you for

00:40:31.269 --> 00:40:34.809
reminding me of that, too. Goddamn. I'll beat

00:40:34.809 --> 00:40:36.289
Chester up. I'll kill Chester, then I'll go do

00:40:36.289 --> 00:40:38.030
the things. Great. I'll do some homework. Great.

00:40:39.199 --> 00:40:41.099
Ooh, okay, not a great roll though. That's only

00:40:41.099 --> 00:40:43.940
five points of damage. I need Chester to make

00:40:43.940 --> 00:40:46.860
a strength saving throw. I'm sure he's great

00:40:46.860 --> 00:40:51.579
at that. Yeah, I got muscles. Oh, Jules, yeah.

00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:55.699
Stay away from my friend. Hey. He's like fully

00:40:55.699 --> 00:40:57.360
kind of embracing this as the thing that jumps

00:40:57.360 --> 00:41:00.039
on you, trying to make sure he's a bulwark for

00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:02.670
you, Jules. Tiger jumps down, rips in, but he

00:41:02.670 --> 00:41:04.610
puts his, like, sort of, I think he holds the

00:41:04.610 --> 00:41:09.550
very heavy sort of ironwood stalk of his crossbow

00:41:09.550 --> 00:41:12.170
up to brace against the attack. Only takes a

00:41:12.170 --> 00:41:14.530
little bit. Only five points of damage. Big tweener.

00:41:15.269 --> 00:41:19.969
Twelve. And is launched backwards. Knocked prone

00:41:19.969 --> 00:41:21.710
on the ground. So he doesn't actually move, but

00:41:21.710 --> 00:41:25.650
he's knocked prone. Oh, and because he's prone,

00:41:25.710 --> 00:41:27.949
I can make one bite attack as a bonus action.

00:41:28.070 --> 00:41:30.070
That's pretty cool. I just read that. That's

00:41:30.070 --> 00:41:34.369
going to hit. Once again, shit damage, though.

00:41:34.389 --> 00:41:37.289
Only four points. Minimum rolls on, almost minimum

00:41:37.289 --> 00:41:38.750
rolls on both those. Yeah, we're not going to

00:41:38.750 --> 00:41:41.309
get that lucky again. No. Nope. Just took some

00:41:41.309 --> 00:41:45.090
hits, but he's, come on, hey, hey, you beast.

00:41:45.550 --> 00:41:48.949
Sort of fighting against this thing. Holy shit.

00:41:49.690 --> 00:41:52.760
That is my tigers. And that is Jules Feroche.

00:41:53.019 --> 00:41:55.320
This is a crazy fight with a lot of stuff happening.

00:41:55.939 --> 00:41:59.559
This map looks insane right now. Down to the

00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:01.219
south, we have a tiger facing off against Chester.

00:42:01.260 --> 00:42:03.199
Jules right behind him. We look up and see a

00:42:03.199 --> 00:42:05.019
Rathalon locked with a T -Rex. John Franklin

00:42:05.019 --> 00:42:08.059
on top of it. A cat -shaped rock fighting a gargoyle

00:42:08.059 --> 00:42:10.739
right next to its feet. Right behind the T -Rex

00:42:10.739 --> 00:42:12.719
is one of these big tigers. We zoom up from a

00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:16.059
Rathalon and see Akio, gargoyle, Blanche, tiger

00:42:16.059 --> 00:42:19.739
on a line. This is so stupid. Insanity. This

00:42:19.739 --> 00:42:22.519
flanking bonus is everywhere. You get a flank.

00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:23.980
You get a flank. Everybody gets a flank. Everybody

00:42:23.980 --> 00:42:32.860
gets a flank. Let me roll that save now. It's

00:42:32.860 --> 00:42:35.239
a fail. Oh, my God, really? I roll them like

00:42:35.239 --> 00:42:39.840
shit. Oh, my God. No, you are not, sir. You know

00:42:39.840 --> 00:42:41.059
what? Because I failed, let me take a legendary

00:42:41.059 --> 00:42:44.139
action in the attacker's turn to beat Jean Franklin's

00:42:44.139 --> 00:42:48.739
ass again. It's a miss. Okay, thank goodness.

00:42:49.559 --> 00:42:51.219
Glad you're rolling like shit. I rolled the same

00:42:51.219 --> 00:42:53.820
thing twice. It's not a good thing. He just goes

00:42:53.820 --> 00:42:55.940
to strike out. Jaune kind of like, that first

00:42:55.940 --> 00:42:57.179
hit got him good. But he raised his shield the

00:42:57.179 --> 00:42:59.440
second time and wham! This thing strikes hard

00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:01.199
against the shield. Almost blows off the T -Rex,

00:43:01.239 --> 00:43:03.579
but he holds strong. Weapon goes wide. Flames

00:43:03.579 --> 00:43:05.980
singe at the turtle. But he's standing tall.

00:43:06.119 --> 00:43:09.139
He gets back to one foot. No longer kneeling.

00:43:09.920 --> 00:43:16.989
And that is going to be Jules. Okay. Big turn

00:43:16.989 --> 00:43:18.750
here, Jules. There's a lot of shit happening

00:43:18.750 --> 00:43:22.429
all over the place. I know. Oh, my gosh. David,

00:43:22.429 --> 00:43:25.809
I know. I wouldn't want to be you right now.

00:43:25.929 --> 00:43:28.590
I know. I think I'm going to stick to... That

00:43:28.590 --> 00:43:30.570
would suck. I think I'm going to stick to what

00:43:30.570 --> 00:43:33.690
I was originally going to do. Whoa. No pressure.

00:43:34.050 --> 00:43:37.510
Whoa. What's going to happen? I'm freaking out.

00:43:38.010 --> 00:43:40.349
Realistically, I'm not going to kill this tiger

00:43:40.349 --> 00:43:42.949
in one shot. It's going to come back around again.

00:43:44.190 --> 00:43:45.889
Like, the same thing is going to happen the next

00:43:45.889 --> 00:43:48.289
round. Like, Chester is going to have to get

00:43:48.289 --> 00:43:50.969
up. Yeah. Yeah. It doesn't matter what I do.

00:43:51.110 --> 00:43:52.789
The biggest thing with Chester that's important

00:43:52.789 --> 00:43:54.809
to know is his range capabilities are cut down

00:43:54.809 --> 00:43:57.349
heavily on his turn if this thing is in 5 feet.

00:43:57.429 --> 00:43:59.670
If he can get distance before... Sure. Like,

00:43:59.750 --> 00:44:01.750
the game isn't so big with him because he has

00:44:01.750 --> 00:44:03.630
disadvantage on attacks if enemies are in 5 feet

00:44:03.630 --> 00:44:06.110
of him. If only he had a way to gain distance

00:44:06.110 --> 00:44:08.210
from enemies. Oh, shit. I forgot about that.

00:44:08.369 --> 00:44:11.010
Yep. And that's happening before the Tigers'

00:44:11.090 --> 00:44:17.179
next turn. So... Anyways. Anyways. Anyways. Jules

00:44:17.179 --> 00:44:21.780
will... I have one fourth level spell slot. Oh,

00:44:21.780 --> 00:44:28.840
baby. Oh, man. What's it gonna be? I think...

00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:32.719
Oh, my gosh. It's going to be Healing Word. Whoa.

00:44:33.039 --> 00:44:39.219
On to Jean Franklin. Whoa. Oh, I mean, he's tanking

00:44:39.219 --> 00:44:41.119
that hard for everyone right now, right? Yeah.

00:44:41.789 --> 00:44:45.289
that ain't bad yeah he he also does have some

00:44:45.289 --> 00:44:48.730
ability to heal himself does he he does okay

00:44:48.730 --> 00:44:51.369
you know that about john you know he has leon

00:44:51.369 --> 00:44:54.989
hands oh that's right that's five per level so

00:44:54.989 --> 00:44:58.050
he can get a huge burst total of 35. yeah i forgot

00:44:58.050 --> 00:45:02.989
about that okay strike that struck it down rathlon

00:45:02.989 --> 00:45:10.789
killed it this is so tense yeah every move is

00:45:10.789 --> 00:45:17.210
critical. Every failed roll is a stab in the

00:45:17.210 --> 00:45:21.070
gut. So, he is going to... Tiger's intelligence

00:45:21.070 --> 00:45:23.110
is pretty fucking low, right? Oh, it's gotta

00:45:23.110 --> 00:45:29.510
be. He's wearing glasses. You don't know. Is

00:45:29.510 --> 00:45:35.190
it four or less? Oh, so you would know, like...

00:45:35.480 --> 00:45:37.900
The way intelligence typically works is, I think

00:45:37.900 --> 00:45:41.760
it's like above four is having some level of

00:45:41.760 --> 00:45:44.260
sapience. So any beast typically is going to

00:45:44.260 --> 00:45:46.480
have less than four. Less than four, okay. Okay.

00:45:46.519 --> 00:45:47.840
And that's common knowledge. You'd know that.

00:45:47.860 --> 00:45:49.659
You should get that instinctually. Sure, okay.

00:45:50.199 --> 00:45:51.960
All right, so I'm going to cast blindness, deafness

00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:54.219
onto the tiger. He is wearing glasses, so that

00:45:54.219 --> 00:45:57.199
might not work. Yeah. All you need is mage hand.

00:45:57.260 --> 00:45:59.000
You just pull the glasses off. It's just as good.

00:45:59.119 --> 00:46:04.059
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I'm going to do that. I

00:46:04.059 --> 00:46:05.920
like that. Level three. I like that. Okay. Level

00:46:05.920 --> 00:46:07.619
three. That's a good move. It's a good move.

00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:10.860
What does level three do? Does that make it more

00:46:10.860 --> 00:46:13.639
targets? It's a con save. Con save. That is going

00:46:13.639 --> 00:46:17.480
to be a six. Fail. Real bad roll. That tiger

00:46:17.480 --> 00:46:20.179
is blind. So the tiger is blind. And you have

00:46:20.179 --> 00:46:22.440
to continue to roll those saves at the end of

00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:24.420
your turn. This is going to suck. I'm going to

00:46:24.420 --> 00:46:28.800
forget so many saves. What does upcasting blindness

00:46:28.800 --> 00:46:32.739
deafness do? At higher levels, Third or higher.

00:46:32.980 --> 00:46:35.400
I can target one. Oh. It's more targets, right?

00:46:35.420 --> 00:46:37.300
Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I can target one additional

00:46:37.300 --> 00:46:38.940
creature. Thank you. Stop it. Within 30 feet

00:46:38.940 --> 00:46:41.260
though, right? Don't you do it. No. It just says,

00:46:41.360 --> 00:46:44.139
well, yeah, yeah. Range is 30 feet. Right. Do

00:46:44.139 --> 00:46:45.800
I have anybody within 30 feet? Oh, yeah. What

00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:47.599
about that gargoyle? The gargoyle. What about

00:46:47.599 --> 00:46:51.039
the gargoyle or? The other tiger. The other tiger.

00:46:51.039 --> 00:46:53.559
Oh, my God. Definitely the other tiger. Arathalon.

00:46:54.219 --> 00:46:57.820
Arathalon. Oh, my God. He's going for a Rathalon.

00:46:57.940 --> 00:46:59.920
Going for a Rathalon? Holy fuck. Going for a

00:46:59.920 --> 00:47:03.300
Rathalon? Holy shit. Okay, cool. Holy shit. Disadvantage.

00:47:03.679 --> 00:47:09.860
Whoa. What's the DC? What's the thing? I don't

00:47:09.860 --> 00:47:17.079
want to say. You can look. Constitution. Disadvantage.

00:47:17.079 --> 00:47:19.420
That's the point where it might even be worth

00:47:19.420 --> 00:47:22.579
it to just do the other tiger. I don't know if

00:47:22.579 --> 00:47:26.340
his con is going to be crazy high enough that

00:47:26.340 --> 00:47:28.440
it's not worth trying. I'm going to taunt you

00:47:28.440 --> 00:47:30.760
because I think this is fun. If you cast on a

00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:33.639
Rathalon, probably have pretty high con. I'll

00:47:33.639 --> 00:47:37.179
roll disadvantage. And I will forego, I'll tell

00:47:37.179 --> 00:47:39.099
you right now, my legendary resistance on this

00:47:39.099 --> 00:47:40.579
save. You're casting your highest level spell

00:47:40.579 --> 00:47:42.820
slot. You're giving me two buttons. I'm not casting

00:47:42.820 --> 00:47:43.519
my highest level spell slot. I'm feeling pretty

00:47:43.519 --> 00:47:47.980
good anyway. Oh. It's. Yeah. Okay. Still. I will

00:47:47.980 --> 00:47:50.380
forego it because I feel confident. And I want

00:47:50.380 --> 00:47:53.039
this to be a difficult choice for you. But you

00:47:53.039 --> 00:47:54.980
might blow it entirely. Yeah. No tiger. Okay.

00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:57.059
I would do two tigers. Okay. All right. That's

00:47:57.059 --> 00:48:00.119
great. Now that's a fun way to use. Tiger. I

00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:02.340
like that. I like that. I like barter. And I'm

00:48:02.340 --> 00:48:03.980
not using the buttons either. Yeah. Okay. I think

00:48:03.980 --> 00:48:06.099
that's good. I think that's good. Tiger number

00:48:06.099 --> 00:48:09.679
two is a maybe with a 14. Nope. Oh. Thank God.

00:48:09.719 --> 00:48:13.639
Fucking fail. Okay. Okay. Two tigers are blind.

00:48:14.269 --> 00:48:16.710
Holy shit. And then with a bonus action, he is

00:48:16.710 --> 00:48:19.210
going to cast Bardic Inspiration onto Jean Franklin.

00:48:20.369 --> 00:48:23.570
Jean glowing. Nice, that's great. Golden mode

00:48:23.570 --> 00:48:27.110
around him. Let me take a D8. Oh, look at all

00:48:27.110 --> 00:48:30.949
these D8s. Can somebody lend me another D8? Dude,

00:48:30.969 --> 00:48:33.309
I have three sets of dye over here that I just

00:48:33.309 --> 00:48:34.530
have out for various reasons. This is going to

00:48:34.530 --> 00:48:36.210
be my D8 reminder. Oh, and look at the green

00:48:36.210 --> 00:48:38.309
color. That's going to remind me of Jean. That's

00:48:38.309 --> 00:48:43.359
pretty good. Especially where Jean has... And

00:48:43.359 --> 00:48:46.659
Arathelon is, he's going to do double damage.

00:48:47.360 --> 00:48:50.539
Nice. Yeah, so the Bardic helps a lot with Jaune

00:48:50.539 --> 00:48:55.960
there. Hell yeah. All right. Okay, then Jules,

00:48:55.980 --> 00:48:59.000
is that your turn? That is Jules' turn. Then

00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:01.880
it's time for the Cat Rock. Hang on, hang on,

00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:03.739
hang on, hang on. Yeah, okay, that's Jules' turn.

00:49:03.980 --> 00:49:06.000
Meow. Yeah, so I've already, I used my bonus

00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:08.679
action, so Cat Rock doesn't do shit. Oh, it just

00:49:08.679 --> 00:49:10.739
dodges. Gotcha, hell yeah. Still dodging, still

00:49:10.739 --> 00:49:14.059
kind of holding this round. Yeah. Does Jules

00:49:14.059 --> 00:49:16.019
want to try to get it? If you know what Chester's

00:49:16.019 --> 00:49:17.679
going to do, does Jules want to try to make some

00:49:17.679 --> 00:49:22.579
distance? No. Okay. Not yet. Okay. Not yet. Not

00:49:22.579 --> 00:49:25.539
yet. He's blind. Yeah. Oh, shit. Good point.

00:49:25.619 --> 00:49:28.679
Not yet. Yeah. I don't know where you are. That's

00:49:28.679 --> 00:49:31.579
Joan Francine, the Tyrannosaurus. Oh, wait. First

00:49:31.579 --> 00:49:33.579
things first, though. Top of the round. Let's

00:49:33.579 --> 00:49:37.179
do a lair action. Boo. Boo. Let's see. Do I have

00:49:37.179 --> 00:49:38.679
those on my sheet? Do I have those on my, like,

00:49:38.719 --> 00:49:42.429
encounter builder? Oh, no. They're not. Let me...

00:49:42.429 --> 00:49:46.909
Okay. This is fitting. This is very fitting.

00:49:47.030 --> 00:49:49.269
I'll use this one. You see, like, that sort of

00:49:49.269 --> 00:49:52.349
crowd around. We just saw a Rathalon kind of,

00:49:52.349 --> 00:49:55.969
like, holding against Jaune. Attack sort of gets

00:49:55.969 --> 00:49:58.309
blocked. He pulls back. You see, as he pulls

00:49:58.309 --> 00:50:02.980
back, he sort of smiles. and flexes his muscles

00:50:02.980 --> 00:50:06.679
as he does the light above and his name just

00:50:06.679 --> 00:50:09.619
sort of flashes and you see almost like questions

00:50:09.619 --> 00:50:11.559
phantom questions being hurled all around the

00:50:11.559 --> 00:50:19.019
stage and you see bright flashes as camera lights

00:50:19.019 --> 00:50:20.980
phantom camera lights begin to shine all around

00:50:20.980 --> 00:50:25.019
i need two of you and i'm going to pick the tyrannosaurus

00:50:25.019 --> 00:50:31.219
and akio to make Dexterity saving throws. Oh,

00:50:31.280 --> 00:50:33.760
God. As Flash is up here. Of course. Right in

00:50:33.760 --> 00:50:37.019
your faces. The one category that he has a plus

00:50:37.019 --> 00:50:43.960
zero. Oh, I forgot about that. Oh, no. That's

00:50:43.960 --> 00:50:47.059
eight for Akio. Okay. That's double for the T

00:50:47.059 --> 00:50:51.639
-Rex, 16. T -Rex just passes. Akio is blinded

00:50:51.639 --> 00:50:54.519
for this round. Oh, God. So a full -on Flash

00:50:54.519 --> 00:50:59.440
banged in his eyes. And then the cake, just like

00:50:59.440 --> 00:51:02.340
that, the lights stop. Layer action completed.

00:51:03.800 --> 00:51:06.179
Let's move into the round with Joan Frenzy. Okay.

00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:08.460
Who is not blinded. Going for the first bite

00:51:08.460 --> 00:51:11.400
attack. Okay. Hitting the statue. I wanted the

00:51:11.400 --> 00:51:14.099
T -Rex the most with this. Damn, this is going

00:51:14.099 --> 00:51:20.219
to hurt. That's going to be a 25. That's gonna

00:51:20.219 --> 00:51:24.320
hit. This sucks. Oh, I need to... Dude. Oh, shut

00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:26.699
up. Sean's thing was so brutal because I know

00:51:26.699 --> 00:51:28.599
I need to take this T -Rex out, but also Sean...

00:51:28.599 --> 00:51:32.780
Holy shit. Hang on, I gotta get a D12. What?

00:51:33.760 --> 00:51:37.320
If you don't have a D12, you can substitute D6s.

00:51:37.860 --> 00:51:40.960
You can substitute D4s. Just roll 2D4 and that'll

00:51:40.960 --> 00:51:45.559
be the... Okay, so it... Damn it. Okay. All right,

00:51:45.619 --> 00:51:49.530
so... The damage for this bite is 3d12 plus 6.

00:51:49.630 --> 00:51:52.550
Oh, my. Do you need another d12? I have a d12

00:51:52.550 --> 00:51:54.150
here. No, I'm going to roll one individually.

00:51:54.429 --> 00:51:57.550
Oh, okay. Yeah, so that he can sweat. No, my

00:51:57.550 --> 00:52:03.750
petard. I'm hoisted by it. Ah! Oh, I'm sweating

00:52:03.750 --> 00:52:08.690
so much right now. 31. Yes. Oh, no. Yes, yes,

00:52:08.769 --> 00:52:12.969
yes, yes, yes. 31. Got a 10, 10, and a 5. Oh,

00:52:12.969 --> 00:52:15.190
just don't rip the claw. I got teeth ripping.

00:52:15.210 --> 00:52:18.829
Just don't. Shrieking out that. Holy shit. That

00:52:18.829 --> 00:52:20.989
sucks. And then we're going to go with the tail.

00:52:21.570 --> 00:52:29.670
Okay. That's a 24. Can I have that D8 back, please?

00:52:29.809 --> 00:52:33.309
No. And this is a 3D8 plus 6. Oh, my cool boss.

00:52:37.610 --> 00:52:39.929
24. Why did I not write that you were resistant

00:52:39.929 --> 00:52:41.969
to non -magical damage? Why did I not write that?

00:52:42.130 --> 00:52:46.789
No. Holy shit. Oh, yeah, you're not huge. That's

00:52:46.789 --> 00:52:52.889
right. Never mind. That sucks. That is bad. Good

00:52:52.889 --> 00:52:54.809
thing Dave is just making up the HP along the

00:52:54.809 --> 00:52:58.010
way. Yeah. Damn good thing. Let's add 600 to

00:52:58.010 --> 00:53:02.670
that. Oh, my gosh. T -Rex coming in clutch. Dude,

00:53:02.769 --> 00:53:06.250
I need to drop that thing so bad. You gave us

00:53:06.250 --> 00:53:09.130
the T -Rex. Dude, the T -Rex is like the Megazord.

00:53:12.539 --> 00:53:15.019
Comes in right when we need it. Legendary action.

00:53:15.739 --> 00:53:18.940
I have two options here, right? Two very interesting

00:53:18.940 --> 00:53:21.940
options. I reroll my breath attack and I get

00:53:21.940 --> 00:53:24.460
it. I can then proceed to fire breath Jaune and

00:53:24.460 --> 00:53:27.300
the T -Rex. But you'll also get the cat behind

00:53:27.300 --> 00:53:31.579
them. Yeah. Plus, you know what? I'm going to

00:53:31.579 --> 00:53:34.400
try to take out Jaune because I need to take

00:53:34.400 --> 00:53:36.159
the T -Rex out. I got to get rid of that heroic.

00:53:36.219 --> 00:53:38.880
I got to get rid of that whatever it's called.

00:53:40.429 --> 00:53:42.090
The challenge. Nightly challenge. Nightly challenge.

00:53:42.329 --> 00:53:45.030
Okay, we're going for Jaune. Roll an attack on

00:53:45.030 --> 00:53:47.090
Jaune. We get another attack on Jaune? Legendary

00:53:47.090 --> 00:53:49.329
actions, dude. Dude. I'm a cool guy with cool

00:53:49.329 --> 00:53:50.550
things. I was hoping that I'd be able to, like,

00:53:50.550 --> 00:53:53.530
heal before. That's why I didn't heal you. Fuck.

00:53:53.730 --> 00:53:57.590
He rolled a nat 20. Another natural 20. Jesus

00:53:57.590 --> 00:54:01.369
Christ. Jaune has 15 HP left. Dude. Jaune. I

00:54:01.369 --> 00:54:04.070
don't think there's a chance I can overkill him.

00:54:04.130 --> 00:54:05.349
I'm going to roll into your roll a bunch of die.

00:54:05.630 --> 00:54:07.010
I'm not going to bother. I mean, I'm just going

00:54:07.010 --> 00:54:08.349
to take him down because I'm not going to do

00:54:08.349 --> 00:54:10.650
math. He's down unless I overkill him by rolling

00:54:10.650 --> 00:54:12.289
max on everything, which probably isn't going

00:54:12.289 --> 00:54:14.369
to happen. Let's find out. I'm not going to even

00:54:14.369 --> 00:54:15.989
do numbers because I want to get the shit going.

00:54:16.550 --> 00:54:18.130
I don't give a fuck. I'm going to heal him next

00:54:18.130 --> 00:54:29.440
time. What the hell? That is going to be an unconscious

00:54:29.440 --> 00:54:32.840
amount of damage to Jaune. Mm -hmm. That's as

00:54:32.840 --> 00:54:35.539
far as I care to math that. 100%. He goes unconscious.

00:54:36.699 --> 00:54:40.159
Ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. That's really fun. He

00:54:40.159 --> 00:54:43.099
falls off the T -Rex and immediately takes one

00:54:43.099 --> 00:54:47.400
point of death fail. You suck. Right? Wait, but

00:54:47.400 --> 00:54:50.179
he's next. So you can roll a one here. Oh, my

00:54:50.179 --> 00:54:52.519
God. And he could just die permanently. You suck.

00:54:52.980 --> 00:54:54.659
Holy shit. Let's narrate this because we're in

00:54:54.659 --> 00:54:57.630
Scary Town. Jean, same whole thing, standing

00:54:57.630 --> 00:55:00.250
tall, holding, holding. This thing strikes up.

00:55:00.309 --> 00:55:05.489
Boom! Hits him hard, bleeding. Jean needs to

00:55:05.489 --> 00:55:11.269
go woozy. Sir, I'm here. Sir, I came to save

00:55:11.269 --> 00:55:16.849
you. As his blow hits, as his body is charred,

00:55:16.889 --> 00:55:19.530
as blood seeps down, dripping onto the head of

00:55:19.530 --> 00:55:23.090
the T -Rex, he goes unconscious, and he falls.

00:55:25.639 --> 00:55:28.460
He will take one automatic fail for taking damage

00:55:28.460 --> 00:55:32.119
post going unconscious. Now, I could go for Jaune

00:55:32.119 --> 00:55:33.860
again to kill him, but there's no reason Rathlon

00:55:33.860 --> 00:55:35.579
will not. Oh, yeah, sorry. It's not his turn.

00:55:35.659 --> 00:55:40.260
But anyway, I need this T -Rex gone. But so I'm

00:55:40.260 --> 00:55:42.539
reading. Holy shit. I'm reading Rebuke Evil and

00:55:42.539 --> 00:55:44.679
Nightly Challenge. It doesn't say anything about

00:55:44.679 --> 00:55:47.500
it ending when they go unconscious. I'm going

00:55:47.500 --> 00:55:49.960
to assume I wrote it badly then. It feels like

00:55:49.960 --> 00:55:54.000
that should be the case. Right? he's it's almost

00:55:54.000 --> 00:55:55.880
like a channeled thing i'm going to let me see

00:55:55.880 --> 00:55:57.559
that you're a channeled thing let me see that

00:55:57.559 --> 00:55:59.760
real quick you know what let me ask you a question

00:55:59.760 --> 00:56:03.000
here right either uh well hold on hold on hold

00:56:03.000 --> 00:56:06.460
on i have it goes away and goes down and it's

00:56:06.460 --> 00:56:09.440
no longer affecting him or it doesn't and i'm

00:56:09.440 --> 00:56:12.059
going to permanently kill jean franklin right

00:56:12.059 --> 00:56:15.460
like on my turn because he's right so so so because

00:56:15.460 --> 00:56:17.139
i need to get rid of that effect on me let's

00:56:17.139 --> 00:56:20.179
let's read the let's read the words and i have

00:56:20.179 --> 00:56:21.940
an idea nightly challenge is something i made

00:56:21.940 --> 00:56:23.239
up so it's gonna sound a little weird i know

00:56:23.239 --> 00:56:25.320
but i have a way out just listen to me i have

00:56:25.320 --> 00:56:28.199
a way out okay give me your way out so so nightly

00:56:28.199 --> 00:56:30.619
nightly challenge is an alternate to the rebuke

00:56:30.619 --> 00:56:36.260
evil um effects It says, instead, make all creatures

00:56:36.260 --> 00:56:38.420
that fail the saving throw vulnerable to his

00:56:38.420 --> 00:56:40.800
own spear attacks. While vulnerable, these creatures

00:56:40.800 --> 00:56:42.599
have disadvantage against targets other than

00:56:42.599 --> 00:56:45.219
John Franklin. He can't make a spear attack.

00:56:46.000 --> 00:56:48.760
Right? So I guess he's maybe not vulnerable to

00:56:48.760 --> 00:56:52.119
a spirit test. We'll just say it ends on unconscious.

00:56:52.380 --> 00:56:54.460
I think that makes sense. It's like a channeled

00:56:54.460 --> 00:56:56.199
ability. I think it would end on unconsciousness.

00:56:56.340 --> 00:56:57.739
I think that's fine. I'll just add to the text

00:56:57.739 --> 00:56:59.280
because that seems more reasonable. It would

00:56:59.280 --> 00:57:00.800
be weird to be like, and he's unconscious, but

00:57:00.800 --> 00:57:02.460
it's still happening. He's still channeling his

00:57:02.460 --> 00:57:04.940
paladin oath powers. He's fully unconscious.

00:57:05.079 --> 00:57:09.739
He stops glowing. He falls and he's making a

00:57:09.739 --> 00:57:13.849
death saving throw. Okie dokie. Holy shit. Jaune

00:57:13.849 --> 00:57:15.489
crashed into the ground. He already has Bardic.

00:57:16.010 --> 00:57:18.449
Oh, he does have Bardic, yeah. If you roll a

00:57:18.449 --> 00:57:22.570
one, though, he will die permanently. Can I use

00:57:22.570 --> 00:57:27.449
a button? You can. Be sure. Yeah. A one, and

00:57:27.449 --> 00:57:29.389
he is permanently dead. It's happened before.

00:57:29.730 --> 00:57:32.190
It has happened. It's happened before. Do you

00:57:32.190 --> 00:57:34.190
remember Oh My God's a one? Yes. I remember.

00:57:35.829 --> 00:57:38.929
Wait. What do you mean wait? I covered the die.

00:57:39.010 --> 00:57:41.840
I didn't see the result. Wait what? My hand's

00:57:41.840 --> 00:57:46.599
over the die. Eh, never mind. First roll is a

00:57:46.599 --> 00:57:52.320
three. So the second roll is cracked. It's leaning

00:57:52.320 --> 00:57:55.099
17, but it's not fair is fair. It's cracked.

00:57:55.300 --> 00:57:59.380
Roll it again. Nine. I'm going to use my bardic.

00:57:59.619 --> 00:58:03.079
Ooh, the bardic. Save it. That's a four. So 13.

00:58:03.880 --> 00:58:06.260
Bardic saves it. For a save. Okay. He gets one

00:58:06.260 --> 00:58:09.000
point of save. That is a clutch. bardic right

00:58:09.000 --> 00:58:11.400
there because if he takes one more point of damage

00:58:11.400 --> 00:58:15.639
it's really bad very very very bad oh wait hold

00:58:15.639 --> 00:58:18.980
on hold on hold on on a saving throw you gain

00:58:18.980 --> 00:58:21.280
temporary hit points equal to the number rule

00:58:22.730 --> 00:58:25.329
Plus four. I don't think temp HP brings you up,

00:58:25.389 --> 00:58:27.789
but that still can stop me from doing over damage

00:58:27.789 --> 00:58:29.670
if I hit it. That's pretty cool. So what did

00:58:29.670 --> 00:58:32.150
you roll on the product? Four. Four. So that

00:58:32.150 --> 00:58:33.889
plus four. So you get eight temp. Eight temp

00:58:33.889 --> 00:58:35.590
HP. And if he gets back up, we'll say he keeps

00:58:35.590 --> 00:58:37.869
it. He keeps it when he gets up. Cool. That's

00:58:37.869 --> 00:58:39.650
pretty awesome. That's really awesome. As he

00:58:39.650 --> 00:58:42.230
kind of falls, he like is like holding on. I

00:58:42.230 --> 00:58:44.369
think it's like he drops down and his hand just

00:58:44.369 --> 00:58:48.250
reaches out towards you, Blanche. He falls unconscious.

00:58:48.429 --> 00:58:55.679
He's falling and he hears. The waves in and out.

00:58:56.239 --> 00:58:59.519
And then beyond that, he hears the sound of a

00:58:59.519 --> 00:59:02.099
lute. He hears, I think he hears unstoppable.

00:59:03.780 --> 00:59:08.059
You son of a bitch. And as he hears it, that

00:59:08.059 --> 00:59:11.739
golden moat surrounds him. A small shield covering

00:59:11.739 --> 00:59:17.360
over his body. His heart beats in tune with the

00:59:17.360 --> 00:59:22.409
music. All right. Okay, that's Chesta. Okay.

00:59:22.409 --> 00:59:25.949
So he can just get up, right? He uses all his

00:59:25.949 --> 00:59:27.449
movement? Yeah, it's half his movement. Okay,

00:59:27.489 --> 00:59:30.869
cool. So that thing is blind, right? It is blind.

00:59:31.050 --> 00:59:34.309
It is blind. Okay. So just remember, blinded

00:59:34.309 --> 00:59:35.809
means I get disadvantage of my attacks. You get

00:59:35.809 --> 00:59:39.889
advantage of attacks against me. Yep. Okay. He's

00:59:39.889 --> 00:59:41.489
just going to go with his warhammer to this tiger.

00:59:41.869 --> 00:59:43.829
Ooh. Yeah. He's going to get up. He's standing

00:59:43.829 --> 00:59:45.869
to fight. Hell yeah. Okay. I'm into it. What

00:59:45.869 --> 00:59:48.070
does he say, David? Put you on the spot. No,

00:59:48.110 --> 00:59:50.670
I like this. He like... Stands up. I think he's

00:59:50.670 --> 00:59:52.349
a part of it. It's almost like he starts to almost

00:59:52.349 --> 00:59:54.650
disappear a little bit in a misty step. And then

00:59:54.650 --> 00:59:56.170
he kind of braces himself. He looks over his

00:59:56.170 --> 00:59:57.889
shoulder and sees that Jules is standing there.

00:59:58.409 --> 01:00:01.550
No. No running. No running. We fight. I'm a sidekick.

01:00:02.289 --> 01:00:05.349
Whips out his hammer. Come on, beast. He's going

01:00:05.349 --> 01:00:09.489
to slide down this thing hard. Going to get whacked.

01:00:11.550 --> 01:00:18.949
18. 18 hits. For nine. Nine. That's pretty damn

01:00:18.949 --> 01:00:21.630
good. Holy shit. Warhammer cracks against the

01:00:21.630 --> 01:00:26.010
tiger's skull. It kind of roars out, and it's

01:00:26.010 --> 01:00:28.949
sort of knocked backwards. Chesta kind of pulls

01:00:28.949 --> 01:00:30.409
the hammer back, sort of slides a little bit,

01:00:30.489 --> 01:00:33.510
coolly in the sand. I keep my mic a little bit.

01:00:33.530 --> 01:00:35.530
Say that again. And then he's going to miss his

01:00:35.530 --> 01:00:37.409
step behind Jules. Or no, he's going to... I

01:00:37.409 --> 01:00:39.710
used all my movement to get up, right? Half of

01:00:39.710 --> 01:00:41.130
it. Half of it. Cool. He's going to go behind

01:00:41.130 --> 01:00:45.929
Jules. Okay. He hits the tiger once. Would he

01:00:45.929 --> 01:00:50.010
go behind Jules, though? Would he do that? No.

01:00:50.369 --> 01:00:54.030
I don't know if Chester would. He might disobey.

01:00:54.110 --> 01:00:58.369
I think he would at least go next to him. I think

01:00:58.369 --> 01:01:00.670
he'd go next to him. I think there's a battle

01:01:00.670 --> 01:01:04.929
in his head of his old tendencies to hide and

01:01:04.929 --> 01:01:09.789
his want to be part of the fight and be somebody.

01:01:10.030 --> 01:01:13.840
His near -reckless want to be somebody. to keep

01:01:13.840 --> 01:01:17.019
Jules safe. And so Chester and Jules stand tall

01:01:17.019 --> 01:01:20.460
together as this blinded tiger regains its composure.

01:01:21.900 --> 01:01:26.199
Looks around, seeking for flesh. But he's blind,

01:01:26.280 --> 01:01:29.239
so he doesn't see anything. Shut up. He smells

01:01:29.239 --> 01:01:31.320
it. He's like, there's flesh over there. I smell

01:01:31.320 --> 01:01:35.480
flesh. As that's happening, as he fixes his glasses

01:01:35.480 --> 01:01:39.239
up on his nose, we slide over to Ol' Rathalon.

01:01:40.139 --> 01:01:43.719
The great statue. Jean Franklin, unconscious

01:01:43.719 --> 01:01:50.380
and dying. T -Rex still standing tall. And the

01:01:50.380 --> 01:01:55.239
question, what am I going to do with my very

01:01:55.239 --> 01:01:58.179
nasty turn? You see as the frogs are falling

01:01:58.179 --> 01:02:01.980
off him, he's glowing a little hotter. Fire radiating

01:02:01.980 --> 01:02:05.420
from a burning soul trapped within this statue.

01:02:06.119 --> 01:02:12.500
He smiles. Raise his great sword. And we'll call

01:02:12.500 --> 01:02:12.980
it there.
