Hello, adventurer. I'm Lloyd, Dungeon Master
of Nat 1 and Done, a Dungeons & Dragons actual
play podcast that follows our group in a chaotic
blend of traditional D &D play, humorous downtime
both in and out of play, and a rich story with
amazing players and characters. Join us as we
embark on a campaign. and some side quests where
critical success and failure play an equal part
in our story of mystery, danger, romance, intrigue,
and a whole lot of fun. We are Nat One and Done,
and we hope you come along with us on our quest
for a good time. of his incredible career. Being
the son of Sholay Brass, Arathelon was no stranger
to the public. He was well known for his charming
personality and endless drive, and made his way
across all of our worlds over the centuries,
dining with dignitaries, negotiating deals for
the Citadel. And yet, it wasn't until the founding
of the Crystal Network that Arathelon's true
potential came to light, when he stepped into
the role of one of our earliest luminaries. Now,
Arathelon's first stint as a luminary lasted
around 18 years. He had come to a great amount
of acclaim during this time, but was a tad overshadowed
by the original big hitters, the likes of Atash
and the Storm Eye. He had a period of inactivity
following his marriage to the half -dragon Xena,
and the birth of their first son, Arathelon Jr.
Though this didn't last long. After nine years
of playing the good father and husband, the supernova
made his explosive return to the spotlight, and
boy, did he skyrocket! rocket and success. Suddenly
wielding more power than ever, the supernova
became well known for diving into battle like
a comet from the sky and laying out foes like
breathing righteous flames. Through mysterious
means, he had acquired a weapon of legendary
power, a sword wreathed in fire that can cut
through any foe. In no time at all, he had searched
the number three spot just below the soon -to
-retire storm eye. All was going amazingly until...
well, I'm sure you all know what... Happened
already nine years ago. A damn shame. That. Arathelon
the Supernova here's hoping that you are resting
in peace. Let's get into it. My weapon raised.
You see, I mentioned this before, but there's
a flame building inside this statue. A flame
glowing bright, fire surging up through the cracks
in the scorched stone. Hotter and hotter. My
legend is not over. It can't be. I'm the only
one who understands the game. And Arathelon's
going to bring his sword down twice. Akio's going
to use a reaction to impose defender. Disadvantage
on the attack roll. I am attacking the T -Rex.
Oh, okay. That's good. Actually, wait. I have
to be within five feet. Sorry, I thought you
were attacking John. That would be fun, but no.
He's messing up already. He's already down there,
dying. That T -Rex is a problem. It just did
like 50 damage to me or some shit on its turn.
I need to get this thing out of here. Man. It's
so funny. That would have been a miss, but my
flanking with that tiger still counts, even if
it's blinded. That is going to be a hit and a
hit. Just a moment to do some damage here. Jesus.
Let me open a calculator real quick. Check the
math. Somebody check his math. So, hey, I feel
like he got hit last one, right? T -Rex? Yeah.
T -Rex is what hit once by a Gargoyle, I believe,
and currently at 108 out of 116. Okay, cool,
cool, cool. Okay, I thought so. That is 43 points
of damage. Holy shit. That is the two attacks.
Holy fuck. That is both of my attacks coming
down hard. So... 65. One, maybe two more rounds.
I mean, that's before Legendaries. It's before
the Tigers. Yep. The first attack comes up. Luminaries,
never stop smiling. Strike. Project roars out
as flame slices through its body. Luminaries,
never stop sacrificing. The second attack comes
down hard. You hear bone crack and break. Smell
seared flesh. Sword raises again. Luminaries
never stop blazing! I have hit a certain HP threshold.
That has unlocked my bonus action. What the fuck?
Oh, yeah. You see, as this sword raises again,
between the cracks in the stone, that heat. blasts
out, venting from this stone body, the very soul
of a Rathalon, scorching everything within five
feet. Holy shit. Dealing set. Holy shit. Taking
the page of the Fire Elementals book here. Oh,
gnarly. 11 points of damage. So you just did
11 points of damage to everyone within five feet,
including Jaune? Jaune. The cat rock. The rock.
Cat rock's like, meow. Wait, how much HP? 11.
Cool. Fire damage. This thing has 45. And the
T -Rex has taken 11 more. God damn it. Now, here's
where we get into something very interesting.
Jaune takes another death fail. You rolled a
three and a seven last time, Steven. Only because
of the button Jerry put towards the roll. and
the inspiration he'd given Jean before that,
only because of those two things, either one
of those not in place, Jean Franklin would be
permanently dead right now. This would have been
his last act. God. So, I'm stupid. I had three
buttons. Um, yeah, I mean... Isn't three buttons
an automatic... Yeah, automatic comeback up to
one HP, yeah. That'd allow it, yeah. Yeah. But,
at the same time, You know, you might need those
buttons later. Yeah, it's true. It's huge. It's
true. Yeah. It's a big sacrifice to make for...
I mean, I know he's not just a sidekick. He's
not just a sidekick. He's not just a sidekick.
Jesus Christ, give him more dignity. He's a beloved
character. Yes. I want to zoom in on not just
the sidekick for a second. Oh, God. Just flesh.
torched as he's already lying, barely conscious,
hands shaking out. I think his mind blurs back
to the very, very early hours of this morning,
embracing Ledoux before he took off on this journey.
And as the two turtles part, you see Ledoux just
looks to Jean. Jean, don't go. There's too much
happening here, too much changing. Your father
continues to refuse to leave his chambers to
help at all. Without a true Ontario here, I don't
know how long the Golden Bay will hold its independence.
Jean, just consider... Ledoux, you saw what happened.
A coyote was attacked. I worry that Sir and Jules
are in trouble. They may need my help. Jean,
don't you get it? Master Blanche doesn't want
your help. You may have given yourself a luminary
title and handed me the crown, but to her, you
will always be the king she needs to protect.
Hmph. I know that will do. It's just... Jon strikes
a step back, looks to the sky. To me, Sa, she's
more important than a king. She's... Well, she's...
She's my... And we cut back to the battle and
we see Blanche, her sword, a flickering shadow
contrasted by a shield of roaring flame that
surrounds her. We see her eyes snap to her dying
charge. We hear a single word, a single syllable
carried on a misty wind accompanied by the smell
of burning meat. Mom? Jules, you have cast out
your magic, your soul, to pull Jean from the
edge of death. You... You don't even know if
it worked. You only know that mode of inspiration
he held is gone now. This creature, this monster,
spent the last years of his life being applauded
as a hero, all the while tormenting you in secret.
Your mother at least acted as she did in the
name of her corrupted faith, but this thing committed
his sins purely for the sake of fame and fortune.
A base monster. Simple, raw, evil. And now, for
the same petty goals, he seeks to take everything
from you. Tell me, does your loot glow any colors
in this moment? In this fight? I think it's flickering
between blue and red. Oh, I love that. What a
visual. Jeremy, you titled this series of episodes,
Wrath. The question now is, who does this title
refer to? As you hear Wrath, Arathelon Brass
continue to speak. You need to lose everything
if you want to surge to the top. I'll show you.
I'll show you how to lose it all! But that is
my turn. And that's Akio. Okay. It's been a week
or so. Can you remind me the gargoyle between
Blanche and Akio? He's taking a lot of hits,
right? It looks. barely up. It's like this crumbled
mortar all around. I can't remember which one
this was because I made those one short one,
one five foot, one seven foot. I believe this
was the shorter one, the five foot one. I could
be wrong. If not, I'm going to say it is now.
But you see a smaller gargoyle, the one that's
supposed to be in the image of Zebulon. And you
can see almost like where the head would be,
where there could be fins. It's not a perfect
image. It's hard to really tell, but there are
tiny little points almost spiraled kind of at
the edge of its head, almost to represent those
curled horns. You see this thing is cracked,
broken. One arm is like barely hanging on, just
like stone piled beneath it. It is barely, barely
up. Okay. Akio's going to take a swing with Ichigenka.
at this gargoyle. That's an 18 on the die. Ooh.
For minimum damage, seven damage. Describe your
kill. All right. He's been working on a spot
on the gargoyle's thigh, chipping away at the
stone, and finally he cut through, and with the
momentum, cut through both legs. And the gargoyle
crushes and falls to stone dust on the ground.
Holy shit. Master Ozen's blade seems to fit this
dog so well. Strong slice. Gargoyle falls. He
still has another attack. Yeah, the next thing
Akio's going to do is he's going to step behind
Jean, going out of range and... Taking an A -O
-O. Oh, you're damn well taking the A -O -O.
Hold on one sec. Let me read my stuff real quick.
I'm going to use Warding Bark to give disadvantage.
Yeah, it's your turn. So you have it back now.
I believe it's the start of your turn to get
it back. So that is amazing. You react to my
reaction. That first attack, hit. Let's see if
this disadvantage, this flare will stop. 16?
I think that's a miss. Let me double check. Sorry,
I'm on the wrong. Oh yeah, that's a miss. Okay,
it was an absolute hit. Turned into a miss because
that second warding bark is gone. But holy shit,
did it serve you well. Dodging two of my attacks,
this massive sword comes crashing down. Flash
of light. Arathelon goes wide to the mark, crushing
into the ground. Grass singed. Akio slides to
the side. Okay, so I'm hoping for something like...
an object interaction onto Jean's, I don't know,
clothing, something like that. Interesting. I
want Akio to bite onto something. I'll allow
it. Object interaction, yeah, that's fine. Okay.
And then I want to drag him back as far as you'll
let me. I've got 40 feet of movement. I've already
used five of it. Here's what I'm going to say.
I'll let you do it, but there's one tiny cost
for now. It's to drop the sword. It's already
in your mouth. Well, so Akio has a trait called
Quick Sheath. Damn you! Throw it back at me!
He can draw and sheath his katana as a free action.
For free action. Yep. No, no, no. You got me.
Okay. It's sheathed instantly. Yeah, he grabs
it. You're dragging him away? Yes, as far as
you'll let me. Up to 35 feet. So half your...
You're technically grappling, we'll say, so half
your movement. Okay, so... 15 feet. Okay, so
I'll drag him back to somewhere about there,
I think? Sounds about right to me. Okay. Yep,
so you grab, you just peel Jaune away, away from
the stumbling, crashing feet of the T -Rex that's
just like roaring in pain, and away from the
statue, away from certain death, although he
still has one more check to make. Yeah, that's
all I can do though, because Akio or Blanche
has no potions, no spells, so. Getting him out
of there is the best that Akio can do. Two fails,
it is. It's bad. Yeah. That's your turn? That's
the end of Akio's turn. That's the gargoyles,
and one of them is not doing shit. The other
one, the stone did not attack last time. It's
gone into full defensive, so I think it's going
to turn to attack the T -Rex. It's the biggest
target here. That's going to be a hit. Four points
of damage in the first attack. Second attack
hits for eight points of damage. Chipping away.
Going to take a legendary action with a Rathalon.
Jesus Christ. And I hit the T -Rex. He's going
to die. That's it. That is pretty good. Oh, that's
definitely going to hit. Yeah. I literally can
only miss that on a one because of that, because
that shouldn't have said that. Oh, yeah. It's
a huge target, so. Jesus Christ. I don't think
he'll kill it in one hit. We got one more round.
Really, really bad. For you or for me? He doesn't
care about us. He doesn't care about you at all.
That is only 15 points of damage on that attack.
Not good. He's got one more bigger raffle. I
need this to be a good one. If that T -Rex gets
to go again, this fight hinges on what happens
with that T -Rex, I think. That's Blanche. Okay.
The stone cat that's next to Blanche, has that
been hit at all? Oh no, those aren't stone. The
stone cat's an actual stone cat. The other cat's
a tiger. Don't get the tigers to use a little
stone cat. There's a lot of living statues running
around. The tiger icons are gray. That one has
not been hit. The one that's over by... Jules
and Chesta has been hit once, and that's the
only one that's been hit so far. Okay. This one
had basically just came out. It hasn't attacked
yet. It just got on you, which is really dumb
of me because they have a pounce move, I realize.
And so, like, you're supposed to have them run
and hit, and I had them all move up like an idiot
last round, and I'm not going to take that back.
I'm just dumb. So that sucks. Yeah. All right.
Gosh, I was thinking so much about what I'm going
to do with Akio that I didn't think enough about
what I'm going to do with Blanche. Wizards are
famously uncomplicated. Yeah, so I'm looking
around and it's like, gosh, I could run all the
way around and actually, maybe that's better.
I don't know. Sure, let me double check my distance
here. Okay, perfect. I'm going to run away from
this guy. You can try your AOO. Okay. No. Okay.
That's what I figured. Absolutely not. So that
I was banking on. So now I'm in flanking against
another tiger with Dino Girl. Okay. So you're
sliding around the back of the T -Rex, sliding
to place behind the T -Rex that's flanking that.
So you're flanking the flanker. I'm flanking
the flanker. All right. Flanking out. And take
another, take a first swing anyway with Shadow
Blade. This tiger is blinded. You have advantage
on this attack. Oh, excellent. And all attacks
on this creature. Okay, that's fantastic. You
saw Jules blind it. Blanche slides in, run past
Akio, who's like holding Jaune unconscious. You
still smell that singed flesh. You see he's barely
alive, barely breathing as you run past, but
you've got to focus up and fight. There's nothing
she can do for Jaune. So that's 18 for the first.
18 hits. Okay, and... Ooh, we're going to test
the limits here. 17 on the second. On the tiger?
On the tiger. It hits. Okay, sweet. Oh, yeah.
Okay. And if you remember, dear listener, we
have Shadowblade cast at third level on Blanche,
so... So cool. That's lots of... Is it 3d8? Let
me double check. Bibbidi -bobbidi -bobbidi -bobbidi
-bobbidi -boo. Yeah, 3d8. It tells me that he
has either one of my attacks. Almost. 13 points
for the first. Just seven for the second. Ooh.
Yeah. Not the best rolls. First one was, you
know. Even so, it's barely up. You cut through
it twice. This shadowy blade moving through this,
like, strange, almost misty tiger. You feel there's
a physical form there. It is this corporeal thing,
but it has been born of the mist, of this Shadowfell
magic. But as your blade touches it twice, you
see it crumples, lowers, barely. Barely alive.
Damn. All right. That's all Blanche has. Okay.
Okay. Legendary action. I'm going to hit that
T -Rex. Fuck. Of course he is. I can only miss.
Only miss with a one. A natural one. Did you
get one? Did you get a one? I rolled a natural
fucking one. Oh, my God. Thank goodness. No.
Holy shit. A break. Oh, no. A little breathing
room. I need to drop that stupid thing. A little
breathing room. What is the turn order? Holy
fuck. I think he just goes to strike, and as
he goes to strike, the little cat rock flies
up and responds to your desperation, Jules, right
into his face. The sword goes over the T -Rex's
head. It kind of ducks a little bit. Flames wreathe
in the sky, but I do not hit. That is amazing,
and I'm so mad. What is the turn order? It is
now the tigers. After that, it'll be Jules. Okay.
Okay. Okay. Well. I might not have hit, but the
tiger might be able to hit. Come on, tiger. You
can do this. I'm going to hit the T -Rex. Hit
the T -Rex. I'm blinded. Come on. I think I missed
already. Yeah, I missed the T -Rex. Oh, my gosh.
Tiger one sucks. All right. Tiger two is not
blinded. He's going to run over to Akio. I was
wondering what you were going to do. How far
away is Akio? Let me go back to where I was.
I was right here. 20 feet, 20 feet, 20 feet.
Exactly 20 feet, baby. All right, he's going
to charge Akio. I don't have a reaction. I'm
going to go for a pounce, and you have no reaction,
you stupid, stupid loser. All right. It's only
a 15. That's a miss. Oh, come on. Oh, yeah. Oh,
if I hit it, I could have done a pounce and done
the whole thing. Phew. Okay. This has been best
-case scenario. This sucks. We need to take this
and roll with it. Or run with it, rather. Jules,
I'm going to attack you with a tiger. Fuck off.
Wait, this one's blind, though, isn't it? Yeah,
but it smells your flesh. Fuck off. It's glasses
to cure blindness. Fuck off. Here we go. Disadvantage.
Ooh, it might still get you. Actually, I think
it will still get you disadvantage. Yep, that's
going to be a 19. Oh, goddammit. I rolled good.
But I had not... Actually, I have maneuverability.
I could have stepped back and then charged towards
you. I'm going to say that's what I did because
that's Tiger's work. He's going to pounce you.
Would that work blinded? What? Yeah. Step back,
step away from him, and then... Fuck. Yeah. Good
point. Because he can have... I'm just trying
to challenge you. Thank you, Steven. Thank you,
Steven. Let me look at one thing real fast. One
thing real fast. Yeah, is that like a 50 % miss
chance or something? Disadvantage on attacks.
I have keen smell. I think I can argue that because
of keen smell, I can find the wounded singed
jewels. You are crispy. I know as a cook, even
though I can't smell, that crispy meats got smell.
It's true. They do have smell. So I'm going to
step back and I'm going to pounce on you because
I can't help it. It's too fun. It's going to
be seven damage. Jesus Christ. I need you to
make a strength saving throw. Fuck. Jewels, no!
Thing leaps onto you. Chester wants to stop it
so bad. He cracked this thing in the head. You
blinded it, but it's still in the fight. Failure
on the strength save will be prone, I'm guessing.
That's what I'm thinking. Yep. Which is very
bad. What's your plus? I'm guessing zero, or
is it negative? It's plus one. All right. It's
probably a 15. It's not the worst. So you probably
need a 14 or higher, is my guess. We guessing
or we rolling? Sorry. Whoa. All right. Button.
It's a button. A button for me. Jules' next turn
is insanely important. You also know from the
chest's move that if you go prone, I get a bonus
action extra attack on you. God damn it. It's
very bad. That's unconscious immediately. And
it's advantage because you're prone. So really
bad if I get this. Really bad. 14, baby. 14.
Fuck. What'd you get? 12. 12 fails. Jules, knocked
prone. I'm going to take a second attack on you.
It's a bonus action. That will hit. The pounce
isn't a bonus action? With what? 18. Fuck. Damage
is not great, only... Six points of damage with
a second hit. Okay. But it is now just kind of
standing over your prone form. It takes half
your movement to get up. But that is all the
tigers, and that's going to be you, Jules. This
thing is bearing over you. Currently hot tiger
breath, mist wafting out of its mouth, rushing
past you, moist. What are you going to do, Jules?
Who's that? Stephen. Stephen's just over there
in the mist watching this whole thing go down.
Stephen lamenting how poorly this battle is going
for us. I rolled a natural one on the T -Rex.
I think I have to do what my original thought
was with the T -Rex. Heal the T -Rex? It's a
big risk. He's going to die. I know. John has
a 50 -50 chance of permanent death. 50 -50 chance
of permanent death. How far is he away? Who's
Jean? I think he's 50, 60 feet. 45. Fuck, he's
within range. Okay. He's within range. What?
God damn it. What? How many potions does Jean
have on him? Huh? Fuck. None. He sold them for
sushi. Okay. The husband of the king of Zinda
came here without any health potions. He was
in a rush. He had to pack up and go. Sal was
in trouble. I had to get out of there. God damn
it. The potion milk didn't open until 9 o 'clock.
You had to hit the road. It's a holiday. I mean,
they're actually closed. What holiday? Golden
Day. Golden Day? In the Golden Bay. Jules is
going to be Jules and on the ground with the
tiger standing over him. Dude, I love that visual.
Yeah. He cranes his head backward. Looks over
at Jaune and very slowly reaches his arm out.
Outstretches it towards Jaune. Pushes the other
hand onto the face of the tiger that's standing
over him. And with his hand outstretched towards
Jaune, he casts Healing Word. Level four. Oh
my goodness. My one level four slot. Whoa. It's
4d4 plus four. Ooh, baby. Cool. Okay. Let's do
it. That's wild. All right. Hey, you can win
this still. Here, I got a D4 for you. Crazier
things have happened. I don't know if I want
to do all at once or... Oh, it's up to you. Oh,
I can't believe. Okay. I missed stupid T -Rex.
It's going to get me in two attacks again. All
right, I'm going to do it all at once. Fuck it.
Try it. Two went out of the box. That's 12. Okay.
Two threes. Oh, no. 13. What? 13 with the plus
4? Yep. Okay. Boom. Jaune being dragged away.
I snap open heels immediately. Under the legs
of the T -Rex. He clocks Blanche. Finally, he
clocks you. Jules reaching out towards him. As
a bonus action, he's going to cast Bardic Inspiration
onto Jaune Franklin. Oh, yeah! Another golden
moat surrounds him. And he's going to get up.
Okay. Half your movement, you stand, you're still,
hand's still on the tiger, just trying to thrash
out, and you've got this, like, whole, is it
your, like, messed up hand on the tiger? Yeah.
That's so cool. Fuck you, beast. It seems to
almost, like, shy away from it a little bit.
Like, it's scared of what it's sensing in the
hand. Like, you're not even making full contact.
You touched it first, and it's almost, like,
trying to keep away, like a magnet repelling
it just a little bit. It's kind of... Holy shit.
So, speaking of... What? I'm just curious, Jeremy,
at this level, at this level, Yeah. What's the
damage for Inflict Wounds? Remember, I double
it. It's not the worst. What? It's double whatever
the spell thing it is. Are you serious? Holy
shit. I want you to use it because I get to fuck
the whole thing if you get a roll of one again.
So it's a plus seven to hit. Nice, yeah. And
if it's double, that means it's fucking 6d10.
Sweet. Yeah. Sweet. I'll give you a button for
that if you want to. You can't use buttons on
it because I forgot. You can't, I guess. Damn
it. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to say
when or what, but it's absolutely in play for
this fight. Just run over to a Rathalon and be
like, here's 60 -10. You do know it is necrotic
damage, and you're aware. Oh, it's necrotic damage.
Damn it. Wait, what? Oh, fuck. It's necrotic.
I'll give you that because you know that. Okay,
so then might as well just say 3D -10. No, I
think it's zero, or is it resistance? Is it resistance
or immune? It's resistance, which is halved.
Okay, so yeah, 3d tiger. I mean, you could just
delete this tiger, though. You could just delete
that tiger from the world. But is it worth it
for a potential fan? Well, that is your turn,
Jules. You did not command your cat rock, so
it's going to keep evading. Yes. Okay. Yeah,
it's a bonus action for him to do anything else.
And that is, I hate this, but that is Joan Francine.
Okay. Do you have even even track of which piece?
Real quick. Yeah, I have. I'm not going to tell
you what I... Don't fucking look. You know what?
Don't fucking look. She's got 85 HP. No. Damn
it. 200. What are you talking about? I was trying
to be realistic. That wasn't realistic. Yes,
it was. She started at 100. I hit her like three
times. So, with Jules' movement, would I still
take an AOL? If I moved out of the way a little
bit. Yes, you would. From this bitch. I have
not used my... No, you would take it by a disadvantage.
It would be disadvantage, yeah, because she's
blind. It's blind. With 15 HP, I don't know if
it's worth it. What's your AC, though? 14. Yeah.
We don't know what their hit is. That's true.
But, I mean, if I stay there, it's pretty much
a guaranteed shot on me anyway. If you move away,
though, you would know it's worse if I can run
at you. I know. Sure, yeah. True. And Chester
still has a turn. Okay, we're not going to do
anything. Yeah, we're going to go with... T -Rex
time! Joan Francine! Joan Francine having dearly
dodged what was probably a killing blow. Going
in. Comes in hard. For a bite. Oh my god, no.
Let's do this shit. You're going to miss all
of these. You're going to. You have to. Let's
do this. Oh yeah. If I had two buttons, I'd use
them right now. But I only have one button. I'm
going to use it tonight! I should have had Blanche
move to the other side of a Rathalon to give
Joan Francine... Flanking instead of the tiger.
Oh, well. Bite attack. Plus nine is not going
to help a natural fucking one. Oh, no. They miss
each other. Flame goes wide. Going to kind of
spook by the breathing flame. Kind of stumbles
back a little bit. Tries to bite. Misses it.
You have a second attack. Tail. 14 won't do it.
14 won't do it. Oh, no. We are so fucked out.
A one and a five. We are so fucked. On the bright
side, Flanking would have done shit. Joe and
Francine, the T -Rex, locked him out. Boom, boom.
They're still fighting each other. It still means
I have not dropped her yet. I need to get rid
of this T -Rex. That's Jaune. Jaune is back.
Well, dog. Jaune, I'm Jaune. I suppose you're
not so bad. Jaune hasn't... used any of his Lay
on Hands pull, has he? Not any. No. Okay. So
he's at 13 out of what? Out of 60? And can you
remind me what his Lay on Hands pull is? Five
for every level. So he's level seven now. So
five times seven is 35. 35. Okay. We're just
going to dump that into Jaune. Okay. That'll
be his action. Just boom, glowing with this light,
all his wounds closing, the singe flash, re -knitting.
He's back in it. And then how cavalier, Jeremy,
should I be with John Franklin? There's a tiger
behind him fighting Akio, who just saved him.
John Francine is in trouble. His cherished daughter
T -Rex. I would personally... In my head, I'm
thinking we need to proceed as if we're going
to lose John Francine. Okay. I think we should
plan on losing the T -Rex. Unfortunately. Fuck
you, David. Okay. Jeremy, I'm going to be fully
out in the open with this. Okay. A little bit
of table talk. Jean has a reaction called Noble
Sacrifice. When a creature Jean -Francois can
see targets an ally within five feet, he can
swap places. So if Jean leaves the fight with
the tiger and Akio, he'll take an A -O -O, maybe
hopefully pass it. Okay. Get next to Jean -Francine
and Arathelon and be able to take one of the
hits. I mean, if he hits both, then there's a
chance that Jaune is back in really rough shape
and Jaune Francine is dead. That's the worst
case scenario. Best case scenario, he hits one
and Jaune takes it and then misses the other.
You know what I mean? Yeah. Then that leaves
Akio in a rough spot because Akio is at 20 HP
fighting this tiger alone. This is not looking
great. but I think Jean recognizes the importance
of Joan Franklin. If there is a chance, we can
give Joan Franklin one more round. Joan Francine?
Joan Francine. Yeah. How do you get them confused?
They're totally different names. Okay. I would
agree. I hate it, but I agree. Jaune gets up
and he sprints to Jaune Francine's side. Holy
shit. Back into the fray. Okay. Okay. Slides
up beside her. Do you want to take that AOO for
the tiger? I do want to take that. You don't
have to. You don't have to if you don't want
to, but I think it's optional. That tiger might
need its reaction later on. It's a natural one.
Okay, cool. So that tiger's out for the round,
right? Yeah, of course. Yeah, it goes prone.
Pounce, Akio. Mm -hmm. I love the thing he, like,
goes for. Jaune, Akio's blade, like, sticks up.
Like, before it. Roof! Halt! Beast! You're my
foe! Roof! The tiger's... I hate cats! We don't
deserve these sidekicks. They're so cool. And
that's... Is it Jon's turn? He runs up. Heal
was the action. Right. Yes. Okay, so that's his
turn. Correct. That's Chester. Okay. Chester's
not within five feet of the tiger, which means
he's not actually. How is he not? The squares
are ten feet. He's ten feet away. It looks like
he's kind of splitting the squares. Yeah. I'll
let you decide. Is he within five feet or not?
You can choose because he is splitting the square
right now. So if I were to move him behind the
tiger, can I get some flanking? Yes, you can.
Fucking A. Okay. Yep, we're gonna go behind the
tiger. Hell yeah. Just loops around. Alright,
Jules! Together! Let's do it! Does he get his
double attack for this one? Oh, he does. Here's
the thing. He's gonna use the war hammer. The
language of the extra attack says the archer
can attack twice, but it doesn't say that he
has to use his bow. Yes, he can use it just as
the archer. So you could, for instance, use your
crossbow. You have disadvantage because you're
in five feet of the creature, but if you miss,
you might do more damage because misdirection
is weird. That's true. So you could do a crossbow
and a hammer if you want to go for that. Cool.
We're going to go with the warhammer first. Hell
yeah. This thing's already been cracked once
with it. Yep. Advantage because of... I mean,
it's... 21. You might crit. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
True, true. I did not crit. Okay, 21 definitely
hits. Also, you don't disadvantage on the five
feet because he's also blinded, so you actually
get neutral attack. Okay, cool. Sweet. All right,
1d8 plus two for the damage on this. That's going
to be nine, almost max. Holy shit. Thing's looking
pretty rough. All right, misdirection. Oh, can
misdirection finish this? Let's do it. It's an
11. 11, including flanking. 13. 13 hits. All
right, all right. 13 hits. All right. 1d10 plus
4 piercing. You'll need a high roll to finish
it off. Let's go. All right, so there's a chance.
Fuck. It's only going to be eight total. Eight
total. Not quite enough to finish it, but it
looks real bad. Okay. Okay. Okay. He just, like,
cracks it, spins around, the crossbow's out,
the tiger kind of blinding it straight. You see
that crossbow, like, goes right towards its mouth,
tries to fight right into its throat, but the
tiger at the last second flails out of the way,
just rips through its cheek. Bulko's flying off.
Chester's just standing there coolly, hammer
in one hand, crossbow in the other. Hell yeah.
All right, then. Oh, that's his turn? Because
that actually means it's my turn again. The whole
super... Damn it, I forgot to do my layer action.
Oh, well, too late now. I'll do it next time.
The stage is loading. Yeah, let's do this thing.
On the T -Rex. Yeah, I'll let you say it first
because it's a reaction. Still got that flank
with the tiger. Because of that, I do hit. Okay.
Jaune will take his reaction and... Wait. It
means the attack I rolled goes against Jaune,
right? Yep. Did I miss? Fuck. Oh my god! Oh!
I did not expect that. Oh, my God. I was too
high to hit, but yet I rolled really bad. I rolled
really bad. He goes a strike down, and Jaune
just, like, bleeps. I mean, like... It's so weird.
He's supposed to switch to places with the T
-Rex. I'm not going to do that because that makes
no sense. He's like, come here. He just grabs
the T -Rex. Yeah, Jean just jumps in the way
and blocks out of the shield. Wham! He just really
quickly leaps off the bent knee of the T -Rex,
goes flying up, parries the shield in the air,
goes crashing down a little bit. All flavor.
The weapon goes wide of the mark. That is insane.
That's fantastic. That worked out really well.
Oh my gosh. I need it for... I need to drop this
thing so I can do fire breath again. All right.
It's fine. It's fine. One more attack with T
-Rex. Oh, he's pissed. Oh, he's pissed. Oh, my
God. Dude, are we going to do this? Oh, God.
Are we going to do this? Are we going to save
John Franklin? Holy shit. Look at this stupid
fucking one. Holy shit. Look at it. See my shame.
David, this is shame. God. Wow. Cool -ass, super
bad guy, Arathelon, flumps two attacks. No! Don't
you cheer! Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't you cheer!
That's the saddest. Hey, you know what? Heat
vent, baby. Oh, no, I hate that. Boom, heat flares,
bonus action. Still doing some damage. Fuck.
Only six points. Fire damage attacks. Jaune and
the T -Rex. This is... I'm so angry. Oh my gosh,
that's Akio. Oh, Akio. Rassilon's starting to
look a little almost impressed. Almost like stepping
back. Maybe he's seeing what these newfangled
luminaries are all about. So Akio is in single
combat with this tiger, this untouched tiger.
What size creature is the tiger? Large. Okay,
great. It's bigger than a Kiyo. That's great.
So for Kiyo's first attack, he's going to take
a bite attack. What? What is going on? 15 to
hit. 15 hits? What are you doing? Okay, great.
What's happening? That's 1d6 plus 2 piercing
damage, and the target has the prone condition.
Jeremy, slap him. No, absolutely not. Seven damage.
And for my second attack, I will take... He's
just wrestling the tiger? Hey, I didn't make
the sidekick. You made the sidekick. I remember
that. He just goes to the throat. He's like funny.
Tigers. They're like doing the whole cat, you
know, two dogs rolling around or two cats rolling
around. Now I've got advantage on my Ichigenka
strike. That's silly. Don't you dare. Damn, just
a 17, so not a crit. Someday, they'll get that
crit. What Ichigenka hit is still going to really
hurt. Yeah. Eleven. Tiger's looking pretty bad.
All three looking pretty rough right now. Damn.
Damn. That's it for Akio. Hell yeah. I just love
that Akio bites, pulls it down, and then in the
swift motion grabs a sword and slices through
fur. Mist -like blood. Spraying out. Holy shit.
All right. That is going to be a legendary action
to kill this T -Rex. Come on. Oh, that's going
to be a hit, baby. That is a 21 to hit. Come
on. I need to get this thing down. Only 19 points
of damage. Is it still up? The T -Rex is still
up? Still up. Gosh darn it. This is impossible.
Impossible. All right. Strikes out again. Why
won't you die? Cleaving again and again. That's
my legendary. That's the gargoyles. Gargoyle.
One of them's dead. The second one is going to
go for the Z -Rex. Yeah, this is the third episode
of this combat. We've killed one guy. Seriously.
They're all looking bad. Seriously. Except for
that other gargoyle. He's looking pretty good.
And he hits four. Come on. Anything above a two.
Oh, really? He's got two. Okay, then it will
hit because it's two on the die. So it's four
points of damage. T -Rex is taking that last
hit. Barely standing, goes to move, and the gargoyle
comes flying up. This big one looks... very much
like Arhalon, comes sliding in, slashes, and
the T -Rex finally, as just one long streak,
runs up its body, bleeds, and falls. I still
used all of my legendary actions and my actions
on this turn to do that, so that is a net loss
for me. But, finally! That's Blanche. Okay. Oh,
and by the way, the T -Rex, when it dies, does
not collapse. It simply vanishes. And you see
a small figurine, ting, ting, ting, ting, falls
into the dirt. Oh my gosh. So David, by the rule
of like every other diagonal is 10 feet. Yeah.
Do you think with 40 feet of movement, Blanche
can get to the spot? You'd have to take an AOL
from the gargoyle. I'm totally fine with an AOL
from the gargoyle. Then yes, you can get there.
Okay. So Blanche is going to enter into flanking
with Jean Franklin against Arathelon. That's
going to be a 17 to hit. That's not a hit. Ping.
All right. You slide in the back. Oh, man. Jean
and Blanche flanking on either side. Jean just
looks to you with a nod. Sir! I'm back. I'm here,
sir. Stay safe, Jean. And Blanche is going to
go in for... Two attacks. You've got to get this
thing down, man. Oh, my God. The first is...
Hold on. Sorry. I should have had... Oh, no.
It's only a 14 for the first attack. Oh, that
will not hit. Second attack is 23. That will
hit. Okay. Great. Do you have flanking for both
of those? Yes. Okay. 14. Damage. All right, 14's
pretty good. You strike true. Yeah, I feel bad
kind of ignoring the adds, but... I love the
idea of the shadowy blade driving into, like,
the fire of, like, this thing. You drive into,
like, a leg, and you see, like, the flames around
almost begin to extinguish as the blade meets
them. He kind of roars out. Okay. Come at me,
Arathelon. Let's see what hero you really are.
That's the tigers. One on Akio. Do I send this
one down to fight Jules as well? No, I think
this one's going to go fight Jaune. One on Akio,
one on Jaune fighting with Arathlon, and one
still battling Jules. Two of them are still blinded.
Actually, I got all my saves. Two of them are
still blinded. Oh, my God. That's great. Now
I'm going to get you. Good. Okay. Come on. Which
one do you hit first? This is going to be on
jewels or chest. Jewels. We'll do jewels. First
one would hit. Second one will miss because of
the blind. Okay, great. Oh, come on. All right,
Akio now. Not blinded, and that will be a hit,
I believe, with a 19. Yeah, let me double check.
Yep, 19 hits. Okay. I will be using Hellish Reboof
once you do damage, so... Thank you, Andrew.
Oh, that's a good one. That is going to be 11
points of damage on Akito. Yikes. Strong bite
as he comes back and... Half move to stand up
again, I'll say, and then bite. Hell yeah. So
that's a... DC 15 deck save. Okay. Come on, Tiger.
Come on, Tiger. Hang on. Hang on. Please fail.
I have good decks, right? Please fail. 13. Oh,
that's a fail. Okay, great. 2d10 fire damage.
2d10. Yep. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. 11 fire damage.
Just barely. Not enough. Oh my god. Just barely.
Barely not enough. He just bites down on Kiyo.
So his armor lights up in flame. All over this
thing. This singed beast. Sort of crouched down.
Still shaking. Moving towards a mist. Bleeding
out all over the place. Flowing into the air
all around. You can barely see the tiger itself.
Okay. And that is one more tiger on Jean with
flanking. But it's blinded. So what am I doing?
No. No. Hang on. With flanking, that is... Actually,
maybe. 17. That's not a hit on Jaune. Okay. So,
boom. Not going to hit Jaune. Kind of catches
on his shield. He's got one shield back. Fight
nothing. Spear. Prophet. Torch. Arathelon. That
is my tigers. And that is Jules. You never rolled
damage for Jules. You missed. I thought you hit
one. I hit on Akio. No, on you. It was a disadvantage,
so the first roll would have been a hit. The
tigers only get one attack. I'm okay with this.
I'm okay with this. I'm okay with this. I roll
some damage on you if you want. Nope, fuck off.
You got a d12 over here. All right, that's two
jewels. God, okay. The question is, are you going
to roll some damage on me? Yeah. Yeah, I'm going
to. All the tigers look like they are barely
alive. Their gargoyle is pretty good, but you
guys have almost cleared out the ads. I know.
This is so close still. So clutch. I don't know
where this is going. That's you, David. Is it
me or that was Jeremy? Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's me.
Whose turn is it? It's me. Okay. Let's see. I
do want to do damage. And so... Yeah, three tigers
hauled him barely up. What about psychic damage?
I mean, you wouldn't think there's anything wrong
with that because you've seen Blanche doing shadow
blade. Right, right. Okay. Okay. I want to make
sure that this gets finished. So we're going
to do level three dissonant whispers. Okay. Onto
the tiger. On the one that's facing you? Yes.
Hell yeah. Yep. Okay, it's a save on me? Yep.
Ooh, that's a pretty good roll. A natural 19.
Fuck. Still do half damage. Still do half? Okay,
so it's 5d6. 5d6. Can you finish it with 5d6?
Got one if you want it. Nine. That one had the
most HP left. Eight. Oh, my God. Wow. That was
a lot of information. That was super telling.
You know what? I should have said that. It sounded
cool to say. Yeah, that was a lot of info. It
was cool to say, but it was also, yeah. Don't
say I did nothing for you. Thanks, David. What's
it look like? As he does this. So he's already
got his hand on him. Oh, yeah, that's right.
So from under his palm, you see this bright white
light start radiating over the face of this tiger.
And as it grows, and then the white light completely
encompasses the tiger and it just disappears.
Holy shit. Hell yeah. Holy fuck. I thought I
was going to die. Down. I still might. I still
might. Still. Anything else, Jules? That was
your action. Bonus action. You could command
the rock if you want. Oh, that's right. I could
command the rock. Yeah, you know what? He's going
to go for the fucking little gargoyle there.
Rock versus rock fight. Boom, boom. Yes. Yeah,
he's going to go for that. Are you ready for
Rock Mania 7? Rock v. Rock. Yep. Oh, yeah. He's
going to go for it. Let's do it. Okay. All right.
So, yeah. You command the rock. The rock's going
to do its thing. The rock got a natural 20. Oh,
my God. The only crit of the night. That's double,
right? Double the die. Amazing. Stupid rock.
That's 17. Oh, please kill it. Please kill it.
No, he's just a tanky as shit. But it does, like,
hit the T -Rex, kind of makes a little growling,
kind of chittering sound. Jules, like, points
to the rock, and the rock just whirls around
and cracks it so hard in the jaw. And just, like,
breaks the jaw off. Nice. Nice. Holy shit. Steven,
don't forget that John Franklin... Has Bardic
again. Oh, I did forget that. Don't forget that.
You guys got to take this Robin with you. That
came in clutch last time. Over there. It might
again. Okay. Well, is that the end of your turn?
You know what? What? Jules will move next to
Chester. Get a little more space here. But he's
still within range to do stuff. Okay. I need...
Top of this round, a Rathalong kind of desperate
stands back and just like raises his hands up.
Come to me, my friends, come! God damn it. And
you see like, and all around them is, they still
started chanting again, just like, Supernova,
Supernova! A number of these figures, almost
a surging tide, rushes forward, a mist creating
a stampede of people. I'm going to need, let's
see, let me take two of you. What in the fuck?
Akio and Jaune need real strength saving throws.
Gotta pick on Akio. They say they're coming from
the top, rushing towards Rathlons. They're pushing
right through those two. Jesus Christ. The miss,
the Tigers seem to just like, they go right through
them. They're missed. Akio first. Ooh, that's
nine for Akio. Okay. That might be very bad.
Don't forget. Bardic. I know. I wanted to use
Bardic for Max Attack, but I might need it for
Jaune. Oh, I definitely need it for Jaune. Fuck.
That's a five before Bardic. The thing is, I
don't think that the Bardic is going to help.
No, I don't. No, not at all. So, I'm going to
leave it. You're right. Not bad, only four points
of damage, but both Jaune and Akio go prone.
Oh my god. Oh no. And Jaune is in a very bad
space to be prone. Except it's his turn now,
so that doesn't actually... Oh, okay, yeah. Damn
it. I was like, oh my god, I'm going wild. Jaune
just slowly and carefully stands back up with
all the time in the world. The mist sort of like
coalesces around Arathelon and then... Layer
action done. You took some damage, but Jaune
stands up his turn. Akio is in a very bad way,
though. Yeah. Still locked in battle with this
beast. All right. So now that I know that the
tiger behind Jaune has less than 8 HP. Yeah.
Well, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold
on. Stephen. Stephen, stand by. Stand by. What's
up? So on an attack roll. You can use your bardic,
and if you use it for the attack roll, each creature
within five feet has to succeed on a con save
or take thunder damage equal to the bardic. I
always thought it was the attacking creature
or the creature being attacked. The target and
each creature of your choice that you can see
within five feet has to make a con save or take
damage equal to that bardic. That's fantastic.
Crazy. So, I mean, if you hit... and you use
the Bardic. I mean, I guess you don't even have
to hit to use the Bardic. It's true. But you
could potentially hit a Rathalon and take out.
But I think you'd have to roll. I don't know.
I don't know how high you'd have to roll on that
Bardic. Let's start with the attack roll on the
Tiger. Okay. King Spear. 17 on the die. That's
23. That will hit. So that is... Jaune spins
around, driving the spear out towards this tiger.
So I have the hit. If I can do the... Yeah, so
I'm going to add the... It doesn't do anything.
It won't. There's no reason not to use it because
I'll still hit a Rathalon. My plan was to use
the second attack on a Rathalon. Now, if you
save it, you might be able to hit a Rathalon
attack with a miss. You might have to... Oh,
to make up the miss. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Okay. That makes perfect sense. So then we're
just going to do the 1d6 plus 3. Okay. Because
Jaune cannot hold it with two hands because shield
and stuff. Ooh, minimum damage. Four damage.
Just short. Aphasia off. That's fine. Just short.
Jaune's still going to turn around. Oh. Nice.
Because now he has flanking. Oh, he's got flanking.
Oh. And hopefully the bardic damage. Oh, that's
clever. Nice, nice. Rips through, spins around
again. Spear, the king spear. King spear. Golden
spear striking out. Oh, that's a dirty 20. Dirty
20 will hit Arathelon. Okay, sweet. And then
I'm going to use the. Bardic, I don't really
need to. It doesn't matter what the roll is.
To use the Bardic for that damage, he has to
make a con save for both of them. Okay, so yes,
con save for both of them for the Bardic damage.
What's the DC? Or what did you roll? Tiger failed
horrendously. Okay, great. Rathlon rolled a 15.
15 is the DC. Okay, Rathlon beats it. So Rathlon
attacks, but Tiger takes two damage. Two damage.
Tiger is gone. The thunder rips out from this.
It's at the golden moat, and the tiger gets hit.
Jean turns away. It's about to strike, and Jean,
coolly, not even looking at it, as the thunder
rips out from him and just tears the tiger into
mist. It's like an action movie where the heroes
don't look at the explosion. Hell yeah. We're
going to make this even spicier. What? I'm going
to use a trait that I keep forgetting Jean has,
Divine Smite. He just got it. He just got it.
So he can use up to three smite slots to add
an extra D8 damage per smite slot. Holy shit.
Oh my gosh. Kingspear is 1d6 plus 3 and then
3d8 for the smite. Holy fuck. Let's see. 5 for
the kingspear. 12 for the smite damage. It's
radiant if it matters. Wow. So 17 total? That
sounds right. Hot dog. That's a lot of damage.
Just the spear strikes through. Kite Tiger explodes
behind him. Spear strikes in and a pulse of light
drives into the flames of Arathelon. Screams
as he's being torn apart by holy light from within.
Oh, but he's still up. Yeah, oh yeah, I didn't,
yeah. Cool -ass move for Jaune, though. Okay,
that's his turn? That's the end of Jaune's turn.
Chesta. Chesta! Tiger's down. There's one more
fighting Akio. There's a Gargoyle. And there's
a Rathalon. Okay, what we're going to do is he
is first going to take misdirection for the tiger
at Akio. Nice. Oh, hell yeah. Okay. Uh -huh.
Okay. Uh, that's a 17 to hit. 17 hits. Oh, yeah.
And you don't need to bother rolling damage.
Oh, fuck. Great. Excellent. Yeah, excellent.
It is automatically going to fail. Okay, cool.
So you're just locked by all this air, and then
it just vanishes as a bolt pierces through it,
ripping through. It's a weakened creature. Okay.
Thanks, Chester. It's got a sword in his mouth.
Cool. How was the little gargoyle doing? Gargoyle
was still in pretty good shape, but took one
solid hit. Still in pretty good shape. Okay.
Okay. That'll be it. I think Chester will move
a little bit closer. Hell yeah. And I think that'll
be it. Okay. That is Arathelon back again, baby.
Oh, and who am I going to hit? I thought it was
Arathelon Brass. Just for that, I'm killing John.
Hey, could fight the stone cat, but nah. Blanche
did a bunch of damage, though. I'm going to hit
you both once. You know what? I'll hit you first,
Blanche, just for speaking up. Why? It's every
time. Another crit? No, it's two. It's a shitty,
stupid, I wish it was a zero on that thing. I
have a button. I have a button. If I want to
use a button at the right time, I need to put
pressure on you guys now. I thought I was going
to test your metal tonight, Arathelon. I'm going
to use that button now. Wait, hold on, hold on.
I'm going to use that button now. What? On what?
On my attack on Blanche. You only get one on
the whole show. Wait, you can't use it after
you first attacked and failed. No, I'll let him
attack. I'm going to attack Blanche first. You
only get one button for this whole show, man.
Are you sure you want to waste it now? I keep
on saying I'm going to use it and not using it.
Oliver deserves it better. Oliver deserves to
have this button crit Blanche. Don't waste it
against Blanche. I mean, you can try it, but...
Do it. Oh, I shouldn't have attacked you at all.
No, it's okay. Well, Arathelon doesn't know that.
He doesn't know that. He doesn't know that. Do
I waste the button? It's not a waste. Steven
thinks it's a waste. Oh, man. Okay. You're not
helping our cause here, Steven. Honestly, I really
feel like I know he's going to waste it. I mean,
like with Blanche's AC. If I crit you, you just
go out. You're just done. Maybe. I believe in
the crit. I believe in it. All right. I want
to believe in it. You're going to have to look.
I believe in the crit. Oliver, I'm so sorry if
I waste this button, but I believe in the crit.
You're going to have to look Oliver in the eyes.
I know this is happening in the past for you,
but believe in me. Believe in this crit. Believe
in taking out Lance Trudeau and wiping that stupid
smug smile off of stupid smug Steve and stupid
smug face. I'm going to watch these rolls because.
You can watch these rolls. Yeah, I'm quite curious.
Come watch these rolls. Come watch my crit. Just
don't look at my screen. Come on, give me that
crit! Oh, it's not a crit. It's not a crit, but
it is pretty good. It is still going to be. Hang
on. It's still going to be. Wait, you saw the
rolls. Let me tell you what the hit is. I don't
even remember. Darn it. It is going to be a 26
to hit Blanche. I'm going to use Reaction and
cast Shield. Is that high enough? Well, it stopped
me. I don't think you have Bladesong up. Yes,
she does. It's a bonus action. She did it ages
ago. Damn it. Yeah. I remember putting the sound
effect in. No! Oliver, I'm so sorry. I believed
in the crit. What is it like? I just was itching.
27 with all that? Yeah. Yeah. So 26 just misses.
Wait. No, there's no tiger, not flanked with
anything. No! Okay. Damn it. He comes down. You
see this massive sword attack comes down directly
on top of you. Your shield, I think you're like
pushed into the ground a little bit as a crater
crushes around you. That shield holding true
as a flame comes back. It's impossible. Impossible.
Are you sure you were a luminary? Hey, keep them.
Jean and Blanche take four points of damage.
Blanche actually takes half because fire. Damn
it. I forgot about fire shield. Oh, actually,
yeah. Does that proc fire shield? You just did
damage to Blanche. Is it damage or a hit? Hold
on. I think it's a hit. I think it's a hit, too.
I think it's a hit. Yeah, it hits you with a
melee attack. Okay. Never mind. That's fine.
That's kind of part of the reason why. No, that's
part of the reason why I had it up. It was like,
I know I'm not going to get hit, but if I do,
I want to at least do something about it. That's
Akio. Okay, Akio, let me mark down Jean's damage
real fast. Can you finish this thing tonight?
Yes. Only one add remains. Arathelon standing
tall, Akio freed up. What's he going to do? Akio
can't reach flanking, unfortunately, so instead
he's going to stand five feet away from Jean
in melee with Arathelon. And he's going to go
for an Ichigenka attack. There is no biting for
prone because Arathelon is bigger than large.
It's a 17 for the first attack. 17. Hang on.
You would get prone technically, I believe, because
you are across from Blanche. Well, it's not like
directly through. I think it has to be center
to center going through the center. Okay. Is
that how it goes? Yeah. And I couldn't quite
get to flanking with the stone guy because it
would have been 40 feet in a straight line. 17
will miss. Oh, shit. That stinks. Okay. Let me
take another one. That is definitely going to
miss. Okay. Damn. Wow, huge bummer. Huge bummer.
Huge bummer. There, okay. Hold on. No, I'm actually
going to stay in that spot. So no movement. Legendary
action. Great. On a Kyo. Oh, no. Oh, fuck. Kyo's
not doing well. That's a good way to do it. Now
Blanche, I'm going to hit you for sure. Hold
on. Does Jean have his reaction? He hasn't used
a reaction. He does have his reaction back. Okay.
Well, I can wait until... Oh. 29 to hit. Ooh,
yeah. Jean could take it or Kyo could take it.
Your choice. Yeah, I think Jaune needs to take
it because Akia will go down if he takes it.
Okay. The stone can't do anything, right? Nah,
too far away. I mean, I don't know what it has
for abilities, but... It's got its own reaction.
That's about it. I rolled really good. That is
30 points of damage. Wow. Holy shit. Jaune is
just barely up. Holy shit. Holy shit. John just
reaches over. Akio just like comes in, tries
to strike twice, misses. Rathal comes down hard.
And John just dives in the way. Actually, no,
Swag Places was in this time as part of their,
his shell defense. Slides in the way, takes the
hit. Crack. I won't let Sass sidekick. Fall.
Okay, that is, holy shit. That's the remaining
gargoyle. Going to attack that rock. Sorry. 17
on the rock. Damn it. Yeah. That hits. Hell yeah.
Come on. Four points of damage. Oh, wait. You
have two attacks on this guy. Hang on. No, it
misses the rock. So one little chip on the rock.
Other miss. Rock's whipping around. That's you,
Blanche. Okay, Blanche is still in flanking,
so we're going to go in for our... I love Blanche
on one side and on the other side. Her protege
and her sidekick. Her surrogate son and her dog.
It's so perfect. You're still wreathed in a fire
shield, still wielding this flickering black
blade. Holy shit! 18 for the... Sorry, 19 for
the first attack. 19 hits. Nice, nice. Oh, and
21 for the second. 21 hits. Holy shit. Okay.
I need a crit on someone. Oh, all right. 16 damage
on the first. Oh, really bad damage on the second.
Five damage on 3d8 on the second. So 16 and five.
So 21. Yes. Holy shit. Holy shit. I'm looking.
actually really bad another like one side jaunt
hitting with light other side blanching with
shadow inside his flames are being extinguished
on both sides the powers of light and dark combining
and closing him in holy shit okay okay that's
jewels i'm considering doing something really
stupid do it this sounds like the perfect time
to do something stupid it really does it really
does It really does. Oh, my God. I think I'm
going to do something stupid. I'm a little nervous.
Look at his eyes. Look at his eyes. Look at his
eyes. He looks crazy. Are you drunk? He's insane.
Steven, should I do something stupid? Well, I
mean, I don't know how to answer the question.
The pants people think you should do something
stupid. I think I'm doing something stupid. You
want to give me a hint? You know what I'm thinking.
No, I have no idea. I know what he's thinking,
I think. I know what he's thinking. Oh. Come
on, do it. Do it. Yeah, you certainly could.
I'm not going to tell you no. He's looking pretty
bad. Your friends also look real bad. It might
be time for desperate action. Might be time to
do something. A voice in your mind. Your friends
are dying. You have the power to strike them
down. Use it. Open your eyes. Nice. Think about
the memories, the presence of a Rathalon brings
back up. Flickering blue and red. Flickering
blue and red. You're pushing me to do it. Flickering
blue and red. We're going to Misty Step. Okay.
Where are you going? Fucking doing it. Holy shit.
We're going to Misty Step at a Rathalon. Something
beside Blanche. Blanche, you're not flaking with
Jaune. The two of you, Jaune and Nakia, one side
of Blanche and Jules and the other. Holy shit.
I'm going to give you a button for this. Oh,
wait. You missed all two ones. I know. So I got
flanking. So in case anybody listening doesn't
know what I'm about to do. What are you doing?
I am going to. Well, first, Jules will look up
to a Rathalon. Cape of magma flying around. He
turns to face you. Hey, Arathelon. Get fucked!
And he reaches out his right hand, touches Arathelon,
and casts Inflict Wounds with advantage. Now,
he will be cut down a bit because of necrotic
damage. You're fighting him with his own power,
but Zomate Shab's own magic strikes into him.
No! No! 22. Oh, to hit? To hit. That hits. So
it's... This dark magic coursing through him.
6d10. Halved. Still not pretty damn high. That's
pretty fucking good. Oh my god. Let's go. I'm
going to roll all six of these one by one. You
don't deserve this power. You deserve nothing.
You're nobodies. All of you are nobodies. What's
39 divided by 2? 18? 19. No. Well, because you're
lowered by 1, right? 39 to 40 divided by 2 is
20. Yeah, so it's 19. It's 19. 19. Yeah. Holy
shit. 19. Still up, but barely. As you just read
this, what's it look like? This wound, like this
magic course through this fire is fully just
going out. I think when he reaches out and initially
touches him. You see this evil aura kind of coming
out of Arathelon and starting to engross Jules'
hand, starting to take him over. It's almost
as if he wants you dead, but at the same time,
you're using his power. He can't stop you. And
then with one heave, he pushes it back and sends
it right back into him. Holy shit! You see that?
Something in your mind growling in pleasure and
despair in equal measures. You feel your arm
tingling. You feel perhaps it's spreading just
a little bit down your back. Something changing.
From here on out, this power gets used for good.
Get fucked. Arathalon stumbling, flames barely
flickering within him. He's looking so, so...
Bad right now. And that's Jaune. Okay. This could
be a lair action. I'm going to say, honestly,
because it used that, because this shit's fucking
crazy right now, I'm not going to use a lair
action. I think Arathelon is too shaken to call
upon it. I think that. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You
see in his face, he has truly realized that your
words were true. That he will die here for real.
And that he will be forgotten. fear that Blanche
so wanted to strike into him with her glyph of
warding at the start of this fight. That fear
comes rushing back. He is terrified. As much
as I want to use Nightly Challenge to make a
Rathlon attack Sean, I think that we're probably
close enough that it might just come down to
the next couple of hits. I've already used my
legendary, didn't I? Second one. I think I only
used one legendary, right? I don't know. I don't
know. Crap. While you think about it. I have
one more. I will use it after this turn. Okay.
I'll let you go first. Then I'm going to crush
somebody like a bug. Probably Jules. Jules, I'm
crushing you like a bug, Jules. Okay. We're going
in for a couple of King's Spear attacks. Come
on, Arathlon. You've got to hold through so you
can kill Jules. 18 on the first. 18 will hit.
Ooh, 18 on the second. No, it hits twice. Oh,
God. Arathlon turns the face. He turns away from
Jaune. The sword goes up. He's going to crush
you, Jules. He's going to kill you in his fear,
in his despair, in his desperation. Unless he
dies now. 16 damage. Come here. Come here. Come
here. Look at that number. Oh, my God. Look at
that number. He had 15 HP. Holy fuck. Describe.
Holy shit. Jaune's kill. Erathlon is turned,
looking at Jules. He's about to make an attack.
He's about to crush Jules. Flame. Ignites again,
hotter than ever. And then out. No, actually,
fire breath. He's got fire breath in your ass.
That's what he's gonna do. And then out of Erathlon's
mouth, instead of a streak of fire. comes the
tip of a golden spear. Oh my god. And we'll call
it there!
