The Lanaya Expedition here at Songwoven.
We want to spread the holiday cheats.
Cheers! Cheers! Cheers! Cheers! Cheers!
Holiday cheer! Holiday cheer!
Everyone's gonna think he's doing it on purpose, but I just know he's not.
That might be his worst one yet.
Oh no, Timmy! Come back! Come back!
It's okay, Tim. We love you, Tim.
I'm filthy.
Tim, come back. It's okay.
I'm not a good man.
Timmy! You're a great person, Tim. Come on.
Come on, Tim. Come back!
Oh gosh.
We love you, Tim.
We love you, Tim. You're doing great. We're so proud of you. You're doing so great.
Hey, Timmy. What's that say on your shirt, by the way?
Oh, this?
No!
Are you okay, Emma?
Okay, Emma.
Alright, um...
Tim!
Here at Songwoven...
Why? No!
We like to spread the holiday cheats.
Why is my resume on your shirt?
Sorry, what was that?
Why is my resume on your shirt?
By the way, you missed one. I've written it on here.
Um...
Oh gosh. I don't know if the camera picked it up.
L. Victoria Popper Boy named William.
The text is reversed. Oh, what a shame.
It's Emma's resume. He got it printed on his shirt.
I hate it so much!
Not the reviews!
Her reviews are horrible!
Not the reviews!
Man, it's a good thing we do a sound test before we start the stream.
No! Tim! Tim!
Emma, your mic is peaking.
Why are you trying to kill me? Tim!
Don't tell me that's what's in the fucking package, JT!
No! No, no.
Don't be like that.
I'm nice.
Tim! Tim, my contact info's on that shirt!
No, I specifically widened it out.
I specifically widened it out. I thought about it.
You see, it would be right here.
I know what your resume is.
I'm so bad for this stream.
Nothing quite humbles me like Tim Don't Tran and my resume, everyone.
Are you okay?
I don't know.
When I went to Reading Terminal Market with the song, people were circling around me.
I'm just kidding. I never had it with us at home.
But they can see this and they go around.
It's like those shirts with the, like, oh, go around to get the answers to the universe.
But you get this and it's like, oh, I wonder if Emma Romasko is worthy of hiring the Amazer Supreme.
No, I'm not! I'm not! I'm not!
What's the top credit?
Okay, let's see. VoiceOver.
Oh, wait, that's the title.
Okay, Genshin Impact.
Woo!
Aiva... Aivinova!
By the way, hey guys, Emma Voices in Genshin Impact!
I would puke if I saw this in person. I shit you not!
Imagine if you guys were meeting up in person and he just showed up like that.
I dare you! I dare you if I'm ever on the other side of a con!
How about that fucking shirt?
You can try!
I'm holding... I'm gonna... there's gonna be a con panel.
Emma Romasko's wrestling...
Check it out, guys. Next pack.
I should have gotten you all baby leashes for Christmas.
I should have.
Now I feel like I have to... thanks for... oh, my wife for the subscription.
Thank you for subscribing, oh my wife.
I feel like my support... I need to support you more.
Because now that my shit is on a shirt somewhere...
Speaking of which, guys, merch update!
No!
Our first official one!
I have to update the shirts every time Emma gets a roll.
Yeah!
All it'll be is we'll make a shirt and it'll just say,
I have Emma's resume.
Ask me about Emma's resume.
Oh, gosh! You know what I should do?
You know what I should do? In April in WrestleMania, I'm gonna go there.
I should bring a t-shirt, can I?
No, Kimmy.
I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that.
They wouldn't let me with...
Why? Why?
Here...
Why am I cursed with wonderful friends?
Put my shirt t-shirts.
The bit is done.
Here at Songloven, we like to spread the holiday... cheer.
That's like the seventh time you've said that.
Yeah!
Because I believe in that statement.
I say cheer.
Humble bum...
Humble bundle!
Humble bundle, humble bundle, humble bundle, humble bundle, humble bundle, fucking shit!
Okay, anyways...
Kimmy, breathe.
Oh, my, my. No, no.
Thank you for joining us.
It's been over a year of Songloven.
And we are approaching the very end of the year.
This year, I'd say that we as a collective here have completed a lot.
Yay!
We are now on the 26th episode of the Linaya Expedition, aka my favorite number, unironically.
We completed a sponsored stream of N Publishing's advanced fifth edition, our campaign, the Blackguards Gallery.
Blackguards, baby!
That is 11 episodes of adrenaline, vitriol, and a lot of romance.
We love and love.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much.
I think I can speak for both Jenny and Emma in saying that.
You know, with the views that we get and the community we've created, we believe that Songloven is a massive, massive success on all accounts.
So thank you so much and continue to stay with us for our ride because most certainly we have more things in plan.
And thanks for JT for being our human backpack leash.
My man.
And speaking of JT...
Does he have a resume t-shirt that you can put on?
Emma, I swear to God.
His password is protected. I'm still trying to figure it out.
But...
Oh yeah, it is protected on my LinkedIn, actually.
It is, yeah. I found your LinkedIn.
Oh no!
And I legitimately searched up...I looked up resume hackers on Fiverr.com.
Ah!
Fiverr is a lie. That's 25 bucks for a basic service.
But...
Basic hacking. 25 bucks.
Speaking of our dear moderator, JT, who has been serving us faithfully since the very, very conception of the show, he had sent us...
He decided to spread some of the holiday cheer and sent us a bunch of gifts.
Presents!
And we had all pinky promised, tinkle-toed, promised each other that we would save to open the presents on stream.
Which is what's happening right now.
Right now?
Right now!
I thought this was the end!
Oh, this is the end?
Yeah, I thought we were doing it at the end.
I didn't know that! Okay.
Yeah, Emma said after the TPK.
Join us after the stream for us to spread the holiday cheer.
Doesn't that seem right? If like, as we're, you know, like...
Thanks, JT.
Sorry, K.
Alright, he gave you guys a character revive.
Sure did.
So, scratch what I say, we're doing that later.
So, stick around.
I got a bottle of fake champagne for it and I can't get it open.
Oh no! Wait, what did you get? Did you get sparkling cider?
Sparkling sangria.
Ooh!
I can't get it open.
JT's like, holiday cheer!
I'm definitely gonna need the wrist brace now.
Oh!
Keep going, Tim. I'll get it eventually.
You can do it!
And with all of that said and done and dusted and finished,
we have a game ahead of us, don't we?
The last time we played was like a month ago and it was quite the cliffhanger.
Can anyone please recap what happened last time?
So Jenny!
We had confronted the Venator, who is a hunter robot,
who wanted Jean-Claude's desires, aka to find slash hunt, in the Venator's case,
his niece, his missing niece.
And then we proceeded to fight him in the clock tower.
Not really, we didn't fight him.
Mistake!
He fought us because he knocked Cecilia and Jean-Claude out on turn one.
Both of them.
And then Dalmar was stuck with them and managed to run them out of the building
and then risked the wild surge reaction that he gets by reaching into my bag of holding
to get a health potion to bring me up so I could heal.
And he poisoned me, actually, by doing that.
Jenny's like, I just want to bring up that I was poisoned.
Then we proceeded to run away through the shops and try to stealth mission.
We're not good at that.
You can see the stats on the screen and we also have heavy armor.
I was going to say, Cecilia and Jean-Claude are not known for stealth.
No.
We don't try to stealth.
Stealth is never part of our solutions to things.
No.
Stealth is always one of my solutions.
For them, it actually becomes the problem.
It is the problem.
And so we were trying to sneak away and then a watchman arrived and ended up
distracting the Venator as they fought and we were barely through some good
distraction maneuvering from Jean-Claude.
We were able to escape, only to go to the wall and find that there had been a big
attack there.
Some people had died.
We took a flying potion and had Jean-Claude carry us up over the wall as a big fur
bulge dude.
But we saw one more watchman about to shoot at us, but Dalmar was able to stop
with the use of lightning, correct?
Lightning axe.
The big axe of lightning.
He managed to stop him just with enough time for us to get over the wall, back
to safety, and then necessary to look at my notes.
I thought I could do it with that.
We had a lot of talking.
We had downtime, right, where we were kind of just processing.
Then we talked to Dan.
Dan the man.
Dan the man who had come in with his, with this, where the heck is her name?
The woman.
Oh, Kari.
Yeah, Kari, who was like a noble lady from the Lavalum dynasty.
And he came in.
I knew who the camera was pointing at.
He came in with the Lavalum, she's from the Lavalum dynasty, came here to study,
hadn't heard about things.
She also has magic surge reactions to magic, was having a hard time with my moon
shards even in the bag of holding.
But agreed to help.
They both agreed to help us.
And then we...
Well, they have a ghost friend too.
They have a ghost friend named Adeline, and who Dan can see and who can apparently
sense that I was sick.
That's why he brought her up.
And then Dalmar was very upset for good reasons.
Yeah, he cried.
For very good reasons.
It was so sad.
And Sean Claude bonded with, oh yeah, there was a bunch of people who were like,
we're done with this.
We're not doing this anymore to the captain.
All these people dying, you know, stuff like that.
And Sean Claude rallied them, many of them pretty successfully and said, like, you know,
like you've done enough, you can go.
You can stop.
Bye bye.
And they were like, oh yeah, I guess we can.
Yeah, we don't have to be mad at him actually.
Cool.
Hey, captain, you're cool.
Fuck this guy.
And then Sean Claude bonded with Captain Lee.
And then we all went to bed.
But then I heard someone coming into my tent in the middle of the night, but there was nobody there.
So I cast the invisibility and Cecilia saw her sister, Delmeira, in her tent,
who is not supposed to be anywhere near her right now.
Literally a whole, a whole cunt kingdom away.
Yeah.
So how did Delmeira get here? I suppose that after the after the session,
but we'll get to that in the game.
Can you can you cast spells?
Sorry, this is quite this is this is this question.
Can you cast spells through astral projection or is it just like yes, absolutely.
And this isn't like rules as written spell astral projection.
This is like Timmy said, like kind of like critical role pipe vibes.
Oh, OK. Cool, cool, cool, cool.
I was like, you know how it worked. That's convenient and also could be real.
So I'm going to take that and it could be.
Oh, my wife remembered something I forgot.
We we I did a legend lore and discovered that we weren't on the material plane.
That's right. And that is great point.
Also, maybe used to be another person who was a woman and that she was connected
to the Red Moon and that the Red Moon is older than the normal moon.
I completely forgot we were on a plane that we didn't that was not the material plane.
Yep.
Are we going to get answers this session?
I mean, probably not.
Unfortunately, unfortunately, that would be too meta of us.
Right. Or wait, no, only Cecilia knows that.
Right. Only Cecilia knows right now because she hasn't gotten to talk to Jean-Claude yet.
She just went to bed. It was like, I'm going to tell him tomorrow.
If she doesn't bring it.
I would also like because I believe this fact was brought to me.
Dalmar knows but not but that's a ceiling Jean-Claude yet.
I just thought just to just remind just remind folks of like what's going on.
The automatons, they they are they are fashioned to take on the the Latin spirits
that are contained within the ethereal plane.
So dead souls and such.
And the idea is they're not getting any use.
We'll use them to gain sentience so we can serve the living.
And if you're thinking that's ethical. Yeah.
It's not very ethical.
When was when was when was that revealed that they were channeling?
We haven't we didn't find out.
But in Dalmar's little intro thing, we it was made clear that he knows that.
Oh, he knows Jean-Claude and Cecilia have not been told.
I have kind of tried to angle towards him telling us and it never does.
So if you have, I haven't been picking up on it.
So the dead souls were willingly not willingly,
but they were intentionally put into the automatons.
That's a problem.
They are the time that are siphoning the sentiment and feelings of the
of roaming spirits in the ethereal plane.
It's like necromancy a little bit, little bit worse, potentially worse.
And for doubt for JT, it's been a little hard.
It's been a little hard.
Things have been moving really fast.
But now things are slowing down.
Thankfully, yikes, that's going to be a rough combo.
And we can jump into yet another wonderful session.
Session 26, my favorite number of the Laniya expedition.
Everyone, please give me a moment as I set the mood.
Laniya.
I forgot which song I had to take the two clocks on.
This is like the normal like most of Timmy's games start before they start.
It's like about 15 minutes of him looking through music.
Usually at home.
Yeah, music really does something, though, to a game.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Good music.
I like to attach emotions to a track.
I like to attach emotions to a track and then it gets like a Pavlovian response from you guys.
I know.
We twitch.
One track Wolves, Timmy, that you always use when it's any of my characters solo.
That smooth jazz again is combat.
No.
Okay, give me one second here.
But I'm so excited to play my friends all the time.
That's not it.
Okay.
Dun Dun.
Can you remember if that's what we started off with?
Dun Dun.
Hey, sister, I love you.
Dun Dun.
Everything's fine.
Knife at throat.
And these are their stories.
Dun Dun.
Okay.
Joy.
My world 20 is bug.
Fantastic.
I have a song name stuck on my chat feed.
Oh, yeah, you can refresh.
The only problem is that takes away my character sheet.
I pop it out and move it.
Yeah, I hate when that happens.
Okay.
Ready?
Yeah.
Let's go.
What trauma will we get this week?
The opening was already traumatic enough for me.
Yeah, he had told us about that.
And when I saw that he had opened up the flannel, it's like, we should probably point it out before she notices on her own.
Tim, this is the end of the bit, correct?
Yeah.
This is the end.
Don't lie to me.
You told me this was the end of the bit because it needs to stop.
It's run its course.
Maybe it's not Dun Dun.
Oh, God damn it, you too.
Tim keeps me humble, guys.
Humble bundle.
There you go.
Now, Dalmar.
Shifting, roving shadows.
An echo of a noise from far away.
Shifting, moving, a growl, something in the distance.
The footsteps behind you, the resounding, just the sound of a heartbeat, the sound of yours, the sound of others.
A crackle of a flame.
That's what you need to focus on.
You're going to do this.
You're going to get through this.
You're going to get this family through this.
This is your, this is your duty.
This is your duty as a Golden Rock.
Your duty, your motto.
You are older than the last.
You venture deeper into the cave, guided only by the luminous flame you hold on a torch.
You don't have to look back to know your companions are there.
You hear the footsteps, you hear their labored breathing.
You hear the nervous, the nervous little shivers of Malcolm, of the youngest.
You look back from time to time as the footsteps stop, as father and mother tend to their child who is scared to go into the deepest depths of this mountain.
A place that you know better, more than anyone, maybe not anyone in your family, but most everyone around you.
And that's the power that you have.
That's the power that the Golden Rock family has over everyone.
An hour, another one.
You have a good internal clock.
You have a steadfast, sure wind foot placed in front of you.
You're an expert.
You've been thinking, you've been saying all night thinking about this.
Roll me a D100.
Oh Jesus, that's your magic surge.
Maybe the D100 will undo it.
That is a 39.
It undoes it.
Okay.
The darkness around you, you know it harbors things.
It harbors eyes.
It harbors eyes that can see farther than you can.
It harbors eyes that have seen things that you cannot possibly fathom.
Your eyes are trained and they're good enough to look around.
Nothing around you at the moment.
Bats.
Even Christ's family.
You lead them further into the depths.
A place you've lived.
And eventually you step foot off of a slope.
The dampness of the air.
The cool, chilled, almost freezing.
Reaching through to your bones.
You're where you are supposed to be.
Far into the depths of a mountain.
Where you are going to stay.
For a while.
As you set up a family.
That bell is not real.
I was going to say, the clock tower in the mountain?
As you set up a new emergent family.
A family of aspirants.
Tents are set up.
Torches are pitched.
The hardest part, seemingly, is done.
And done quickly.
Hushed whispers suddenly find you.
And they get to the worst part of your head.
Of where they're not supposed to be.
They're inside.
And when you look...
We're going to do something a little bit different here.
Jenny?
Emma?
Can you please...defin yourselves?
Uh...
Defin?
Um...
I don't know where that button is.
I think it's the headphone button, right?
Yeah.
Mouse over the Discord thing on your icon tray, and it should show up.
I don't have one on my icon tray.
Uh oh.
Not how my thing is set up.
Oh, Emma's...I need you to explain the next part.
Okay, I've got it.
Hey, chat, don't spoil it.
Okay, I'm telling them that I'm messaging inside of the server chat when it's done.
Delmar?
You awake.
Suddenly, a flash of your heart leaps.
You...you felt something in the dark watching you.
Not in a dream.
Not here.
You suddenly twist your body to look over towards the opening of your tent.
And you see...your tent flap opened.
And you see...
Kari.
The girl who had approached earlier from outside.
The girl who had showed up in a comatose state but has since recovered.
She looks at you with steely eyes.
Back in Vrexen?
Flashback over.
In this camp area.
She's the one accompanied by the night.
Okay.
She looks at you with steely eyes.
One second...
Okay.
She just goes...
She looks at you.
And she just holds up a hand.
As a sign of like calm, I come in peace.
She just goes...
I didn't mean to wake you.
Can we speak for a moment?
If you're coming to me, then it must be rather important.
So yes, yes we can.
I feel like it's something...
I feel like it's a proposition that you would be quite interested in.
She comes in, looks behind her, closes the tent flap.
And she just goes...
First off, can I have your name?
My name is Dalmar.
Dalmar.
Well met, Dalmar.
I'm Kari.
Kari von Merevan.
She shifts.
She just goes...
I can sense it.
You're just like me.
You're touched by the old magic, aren't you?
You're sensitive to it.
I suggest you choose your next words carefully.
I can help you.
I found a way to defeat it.
I'm suppressing it now.
But there's only one way that I can truly defeat it, to get rid of it.
And you seem strong, you seem hardy.
You can help.
What is it?
What I'm going to tell you stays within here and it stays between you and me.
Understood?
I understand.
I need the moon shards.
No.
Choose your next words very carefully.
I don't care who you are, but there's nothing I want to do with those accursed pieces of magic.
I don't care if they could help me.
I want nothing to do with them.
Even if you could reverse your affliction?
Reverse your loss?
There's no way to reverse what has already been taken, and this affliction is my penance for what I caused.
Your loss is a heavy one.
It would serve better in the throes of Sha.
Get out.
Do I have your word that this stays between us?
She doesn't wait.
Make a wisdom saving throw with disadvantage.
Fine.
I say 14 with disadvantage.
Dom, are you awake from your dream and you saw nothing?
It's another dream.
Your memory of the encounter never happened.
Modify memory.
And now I'm going to fight the others back again.
To know the secrets.
Nope, can't tell you.
I want to know.
I will tell you guys after the stream if you can watch back the VOD.
Oh, that's right.
And if I tell you you can't, then please, please don't watch it.
I'm begging.
Okay, I won't watch.
And chat, you cannot tell them what happened.
You're in on the secret.
Be good.
All I will do is clip the opening.
That's all I need to do.
All right.
With that said, Dalmar, your heart relaxes.
And you're back in this oppressive place, wherever this is.
And you find rest again, because rest comes to you easy.
Oh.
No.
The sound theory.
What's your theory?
Class.
Is Dalmar a changeling and not actually Dalmar?
Oh, well, there goes that.
No, no sips wine.
No.
JT is like the most fabulous out of all of us.
He is.
He has his whole entire flute.
It's so elegant.
You see that?
Damn.
It was a graduation present from my master's program.
It's excellent.
I feel a little class.
I'm drinking grape juice out of it.
Hell yeah.
That's classy, baby.
Hell yeah.
This is it's grape juice.
I'd be drinking on a Sunday night.
That's wine.
That's basically what wine is.
Anyways, it is orally fermented grape juice.
That's what wine is.
Cecilia.
In front of you.
Almost as if the time spent away from each other.
You okay, JT?
He metered himself?
Yeah.
Okay.
Just goes.
Cecilia.
It's almost as if the time you spent together wasn't.
Nothing had happened.
In between the time spent at home waiting for her to come.
Waiting for her.
She always looked different when she came back.
The bags in her eyes were heavier.
She looked hardened.
Maybe she cured a different scar.
But right now she was as you saw before.
Perhaps there's some theory of like sense about her.
It's your sister.
Looking directly, looking you directly in the eye.
With a smile full of heart on her face.
Hey sis.
This might be a dream.
She...huh?
This might be a dream.
She goes with a smile.
She just gets up and goes to hug her.
And she forgets that she's in a sleeping bag.
And just probably like faceplans on the ground.
Sweet baby girl.
No.
As it goes.
Oh, sis.
Say hi sleeping bag.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, you're supposed to get out of those.
When you're going to need a hug.
She goes, how are you here?
Alright, first let me help you out with that first.
She sets on sleeping bag.
Thanks.
And as she unzips and you sit up.
She just, she places her hand on your shoulders.
And as the sun comes back on.
And she just goes.
I'm here because I wanted to be here.
And I can be here for like a day.
I think that's what the wizard guy told me.
Why?
I'm not actually here right now.
I'm an astral projection.
That's the word.
Oh.
So my body is all the way somewhere else.
But I have the important parts of me here with you.
She gets her glasses because she was sleeping.
So she goes get her glasses.
And as you get your glasses and you put it on, she also adjusts this for you.
She wipes it with her shirt.
So you're here, but like you're not here.
What's important is that I'm here.
And I'm with you.
And I get to see you.
My god.
My saloon, I guess.
You look so different, little sis.
I mean it's like only been like two weeks.
Well, that's happened.
Has it only been two weeks in game?
God damn it.
It has not been a long time.
Oh my god.
She just goes, it's been a long two weeks.
You've made it pretty far in just two weeks.
You've fought a lot of things here.
Now you're in a weird place.
How's my armor fit you?
I mean, it's fine mostly.
It's a little big.
Okay.
You could have just said pretty good, right?
Because you're still wearing it.
You're still actively wearing it, right?
I mean, it works.
We were thinking about getting new, but we decided to get more for my friend instead.
Well, you know what?
You're going to grow into it.
How about that? You're going to grow into it.
I think I'm done growing.
Why are you upset?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm just, I'm happy.
I'm so happy.
I get to see you and she hugs you.
She was about to reach out to touch her arm because she knows it's not actually her and then just hugs.
It's strange.
It's not solid, but it's warm.
There's little faint, ethereal hints of solid.
A whisper thin of solid to her.
But the wharf is there and it feels like your sister.
All right.
Oh my gosh.
I was hoping I wasn't going to wake you up or anything, but you're awake now.
And are you still tired?
Yeah, I still feel pretty tired.
But I mean, you're you're only here for a bit, right?
I understand that you are in a little situation right now.
And I want to help.
Can you?
Snaps her finger, she a little spire of light shows up there as she grabs it.
A war hammer appears in her hand and she just places it over her shoulder with a cocky look.
Of course, her signature hammer, Moon Duke.
A war hammer with multiple engravings of the moon on it, it's been one of her favorite.
You'd swear it was another companion when she talks about it.
But like, can you like...
So this is you can do stuff and things, but like, it's not you. What happens if like if you get hurt?
Can you feel pain? Can you feel things?
I can feel you.
And I and I did chip and fall on my face earlier and I ate my face full of dirt.
How are these two still alive?
And that's not real. So I guess so. Yeah.
And like, not that that would happen, but like if you like, if this like if you died, would you die?
I think I would get pulled back. I'm going to be completely honest with you, sis. I didn't ask all of the questions that I should have asked.
I.
But I know I'm not here forever and I can't do this all the time.
Creed told me that you were dealing with a lot of stuff.
Yeah.
It I didn't think when I told you I was going to the town with the killer robots, I didn't think it would be that bad.
Robots, even if you have killer in front, it doesn't sound that scary compared to like monsters and things.
But the situation here is pretty bad.
Sis.
I can see that you've.
You've grown way out of you've you've grown way bigger than what my arms can handle.
You've been here for a while, huh?
Not too long.
What I'm saying is, you know, this situation better than me.
Can you tell me what to do?
Well, not on your own.
Well, yeah, we haven't decided what we're doing yet.
We.
Well, there's a moon shard in the town and we think that's what's causing everything.
But it's at the very center that's being guarded by a lot of these things called the Watchmen.
And we killed one, but we were the first ones to kill one.
No one had managed to kill one before.
So they're pretty strong.
And there's this thing called the Venator, and that's why we had to leave before we could get there.
Sounds dangerous.
It's like a robot, but it's a hunter and it knows like everything about you.
Like, it knows what you want and it wants to like take your wants for itself, but it doesn't understand it.
But it's really strong.
And really good at hunting.
And it hunts whoever seems to have the most desire.
It's bothering you.
I can take care of it.
What?
You don't know that, Delmyra.
It's not just one person.
Baby sis, have you seen me fight before?
But you don't know what it is.
Doesn't matter.
I've done this plenty of times where I ran into something that I turned out to be a lot bigger and deadlier than what I originally thought.
But it came out alright.
I think we're going to avoid it.
If we get the moon shard, I think it'll all end.
But I don't think we should fight it.
But what if it hunts you guys down?
We haven't really had time to talk about what we're doing yet.
Okay.
Well.
I'm going to put my head in here now.
I'm with you through this.
Alright?
God.
Saloon.
I think God's kind of the same thing.
You don't have to say the other.
I guess I'm trying to be specific.
I have a specific God that kind of looks at me a lot.
I should really start specifying.
Can you tell when she looks at you?
Kind of.
I'm not sure in this form.
Also, we're on a different plane, apparently.
So I don't know if that makes a difference.
What?
Oh, I just found this out right before I went to bed.
Wait, where am I?
I don't know.
I just found out that, well, my friend Thaddeus thinks that we're not on the material plane.
Oh God.
Thaddeus is a griffin who lives in a saddlebag I have.
Whoa, okay. Whoa. How deep is this hole, baby sis?
Deep.
I mean, it's a saddlebag, but it's kind of like a bag of holding, so I guess it's kind of deep.
Yeah, but there's a guy named Thaddeus in there?
Oh, no, a griffin.
A griffin? Okay.
Can he breathe in there?
Yeah. I guess. Or maybe he doesn't breathe. I don't know. He talks.
Augustus went in there and chatted with him for a while. I guess they're old friends.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
You've been dealing with Augustus and stuff, right? Is he in the bag?
Well, no, Augustus actually went to look for you.
He doesn't know how to work those little cat leagues of his.
No, he doesn't. And I thought it was a really bad idea, but he really wanted to go home.
He used to be a sphinx. You could figure it out.
That's just kind of a whole thousand of psychopaths of knowledge that were just wandering through Cadwarum now.
Yeah, and he's not very good at pretending to be a cat. He just talks to people and stuff.
And I think someone might kidnap him. Or maybe someone will think he's a druid or something and then leave him alone.
Has he been kidnapped? Has he been catnaped?
Catnaped.
We'll figure that out later.
Right now is this whole situation and you resting up.
You'll... well, what are you going to do though if I sleep?
I guess I'll take a look around and maybe I'll introduce myself to people so I don't scare them.
I kind of look like a ghost, don't I?
Oh, I wonder if... so there's a couple people here who are really sensitive to magic.
Oh.
And...
That's kind of my whole thing. Especially now.
Yeah, you're kind of all magic right now, I think.
So...
Saloon's magic is like a little easier on the nose.
I've been finding that in the current situation with the moon, all my magic is way stronger, too.
I want an explanation for all this, but I want to wait for you to sleep first.
No, I actually need it now. The moon's red.
We were walking in the forest and then all of a sudden it was red.
And apparently it's been like that here ever since the robots...
They're automatons, not robots, but ever since they turned on everyone.
And not all of them have. Some of them seem to be good.
One of them said that he was protecting children from the other robots in the town.
I've, um... in all my adventuring, I've never seen or heard about it.
I mean, I've heard about it, but I've never seen anything like it.
There's a bunch of children in town.
According to the robot, that sometimes the information from the robots is unreliable.
They don't... they could only venture in so far with the Watchmen.
The children are supposed to be in a theater or a playhouse.
So these Watchmen are a big problem, huh?
Um, there's... there was 12 of them, I believe.
Where is it? Oh, no, there were 14.
Jesus. Oh.
But you took out... you took down one of them.
We took down one, and one of them fought the Venator.
Well, so that one's gone, too.
I don't know who won for sure, but the Venator probably would've.
It says, well, if it takes one Idle Wind to take one down, then what much would two Idle Winds can do?
Well, it wasn't just me.
Ahem.
I... you'll have to meet... well, one of the people I'm with right now, he's...
one of the ones who's pretty sensitive to magic, so maybe you'll just have to, like, wave at him, but...
but, um, mostly I've been traveling with...
Does...
Does he know sign language?
I've been practicing.
Um... I... maybe.
Right. I'm gonna start trying, and I'm gonna see how he looks at me.
Um...
Okay.
Wait, what?
When does sign language help here?
He's like... so she can talk to him from afar.
Couldn't she just speak?
Exactly. Exactly. Exactly.
Idle Winds are book smart, not common sense smart.
I don't know if Damir is even book smart. Is she? What's her deal with this mod?
She's not book smart. She's money smart. Makes sense. I don't know, I'm just kidding.
Street smarts!
Street smarts! Um... she is brave.
She is brave! Very brave.
Um...
That's usually because...
I could just talk to. That's the thing.
I'm just looking for... yes, exactly.
I just wanna...
I've been trying really hard to learn it. Creed's really good at it. He's always talking... he's always talking to Kai with it.
Because they talk behind your back, but like in front of you.
Yeah, this is what they do. This is what they do. You know what that is?
What?
I'm gonna teach you that word. You're too young.
What is that word?
Yeah, it's bullshit.
I love it!
I really like talking to Creed, actually.
Oh no.
What do you mean, oh no?
He's gonna turn you against me. He's gonna poison your mind. Your beautiful mind. Your beautiful, young, malleable mind.
He's mostly been agreeing with me, so I guess that's probably why I like talking to him.
That's what he does. He tells you what you want to hear. Except for me, I'm the only person he doesn't ever do that to.
Maybe... nevermind, it's not the time.
No, no, I'm interested.
Well, maybe it's just that he thinks you're... wrong.
Well, Cecilia, I was...
But you... I tried to... okay. But anyways...
I guess the other question is, you still have the boonshots with you?
Mm-hmm.
And they're safe?
Yeah.
Okay.
The moonshard that's in town is one that a researcher here had, I guess.
It's kind of weird that the moonshards... I've never even heard of stuff like this before.
I'm a champion of a moon goddess. And now, all of a sudden, it just feels like it's popping up everywhere.
It... everywhere?
What?
Well, when it comes to you, a lot of the things get around in my head, so it just feels like everywhere.
But you're holding them, I was going to... put them across.
But now it looks like they've got someone else to protect them. Someone good and strong.
And you're okay with it?
I wanted to look at you...
to feel better about it.
And you're covered in dirt, and you fumbled your way towards a hug and tripped on your face when you tried to...
because you were in a sleeping bag.
You're still the same. Yeah, you're still the same sister.
You're still the same sister that I know, but...
there's just something else there.
And I feel like I can't take them away from you.
You probably couldn't as an astral projection anyways.
Goddamn, Celia.
And with your arms, she says.
Roach said I had potential.
But you have to act on it.
You're my sis. And I love you.
There's a proper sibling interaction.
Oh, and then she does... Flight.
And she just goes...
all right, well...
We could talk more about that later.
And you need to start sending to me more instead of Creed.
Well, I use all my sendings to you, it's just that Creed's the only one who can respond.
I just don't like it when he filters my words because he...
He's a jerk.
Yeah, I think he condenses things a lot and adds things sometimes.
That's not what you're supposed to do when you're condensing things.
I'm never completely sure what he adds or not.
Oh my gosh. All right, you know what?
You get some sleep. I will be around.
I'll make myself known.
And you and I, we're gonna get this thing done.
Be careful about the making...
Like, yes, you should make yourself known.
But my friend, I don't know how he's going to react to you being here, to be completely honest.
It's not a bad thing. He's just like...
Well, I mean, it's kind of a bad thing. It just...
He struggles with first... No, the other one.
Oh, yeah. Fucked by him.
He just struggles with first impressions a bit sometimes.
He's just very... He's been very protective of me.
And I haven't said anything bad about you or anything, but I feel like he's made some opinions.
Oh.
And I mean, I tried to tell him that he knows I love you and he knows that, like...
You know, like, I think you're great. It's just...
You know, he's just heard when I've been frustrated, I guess, a bit, and he only...
He's very defensive of me.
I got it.
It's not going to get in the way of good things being done, right?
He's a good person at the heart of things.
He is.
That's good.
Glowing and reviewing.
And as long as we can work together.
I have his back through and through.
I think he'll be glad you're here, because I think we all know we need a lot of help right now.
I can't wait to meet your friends.
I think you already met two of them.
But they're not with us anymore. That's why you met them.
My friend told me that she ran into you, but she didn't let you know that she knew me because
she didn't want to accidentally give me away or something in case I didn't want you to know.
White tiefling?
Mm-hmm.
What the...
I thought they were being awfully chummy and bad at lying, one of them was.
Well, Jaime.
Yeah, Seldar's really good at lying, but
Jaime's really nice. He probably was genuinely very nice.
His name was Jaime? Well, yeah.
He was halfway through saying his name, and then he snapped out of it and he said,
Jaime.
Oh, so I guess...
It's the same spelling, isn't it?
That's... poor bastard.
Not a very good code name.
When your name is Jaime.
Oh, God.
The code names we make up in our group are really cool.
What's your code name?
Deli Sandwich.
Wow.
I like Jaime's better now.
Del-Mira? Deli?
No, I get it. I just...
No. No, it's a stretch.
Creed likes it.
I bet he does.
I like it. The people who don't agree with me like it.
Oh, now I get it.
Oh, gosh.
Years of this.
Go to sleep. I have stuff to think about now.
She hugs her again.
As the energy dies down, you see that she grips you really strong, wraps her arms around you.
You can feel it. She doesn't want to let go.
She doesn't want you to grow up anymore.
Oh, okay. Not fair.
And in fairness, you won't.
What?
Oh, our handful group. That's so fucking ominous.
In all fairness, Cecilia, knife comes to throat. You never will.
Cecilia self-admittedly, not gonna grow anymore.
This is the last night you grow.
Don't let me sleep in very late.
It's okay. I'll be here when you wake up.
And that's something that's not something she says very often.
Oh, ow. Another emotional damage line. Two for one.
Why are you dancing?
He enjoys my doing the swerve dance, Tim.
You see, I'm in my name.
Good night.
Deli sandwich.
No, I don't like it anymore.
She goes to put the nightcap back on and it's not the one that she just gave her when she came home.
It's the old one.
You're still wearing.
Oh, um, you have a new one now.
I gave it away.
Just because someone.
Someone who needed to stellar.
The tiefling.
She just said she was she had one and I didn't want to give her the old one and it was like not clean and stuff.
So I gave her the new one.
Gifts are meant for giving.
And this one's fine.
By the way, I think I can like she turned she opens up like another bag of holding that she has.
And this one says Delmira Idlewine is it just Idlewine on it now.
She's learned and she ripped out the stitching on the other one.
When she opens it up, she does.
And then she reaches it.
OK, I think this works.
I don't know. This is like a projection of like a supreme healing potion.
Superior. That's supreme.
Supreme is a good one.
Really expensive.
Overly so.
She tries to pick it up.
Um, roll a 100.
Whoa, wait, can you send things?
We can mail. I wrote a nine.
Divine intervention.
It goes through it.
No, I have potions.
OK, I wanted you to have it.
Plus, I can roll the saddlebag.
Actually, I can buy potions from Thaddeus.
That seems really convenient, actually.
Yeah, we haven't really done it yet because we've had enough.
But you get to use that all the time.
All right. We'll talk more later.
Yeah, we're going to be buying a lot tomorrow.
We have a lot of planning to do.
A lot of idol winning.
That's what we do. We idol win.
I just be careful. OK, don't go.
Don't try to go into the city.
We're idol winners.
I hate that. Sounds like they're a sports family.
We're not idol losers, we're idol winners.
Just don't go into the city before we get to talk.
I won't put anyone in danger.
Including yourself.
There are people who need healing.
No problem.
All right.
She stands up.
All right.
You're my baby sis.
I'll be here. I promise.
I'll be there.
As she steps out, she gives you a little wave.
And then you hear a gasp behind her.
A sudden...
And she just quickly drops the teflon and just turns around.
You see a Kari.
In this part in the middle of the night, or whatever this eternal night is,
she's standing up and she's away from the place where she was sleeping before.
And you see she's looking towards Delmyra.
You were saying something?
She just gets out of the sleeping bag that she was starting to get into.
Delmyra, that's one of the people I was talking about.
Oh.
She starts signing.
I don't...
You see Kari as when from really wary to like, what?
That's my sister. I don't...
Delmyra.
That's my signature.
She doesn't get to show people that.
Why is she still fucking signing?
She's really happy that she's learning.
Kari kind of looks between the both of you,
like gives you a kind of a harsh look into Delmyra.
I'm Delmyra, Idlewind, I'm Cecilia's big sister.
Don't worry, I'm here to help.
Kari blinks for a moment.
She just goes...
And she gives Delmyra a hard look.
And it's what she's been doing.
Like everyone.
Very well.
I can't help but get a sense of unease from you.
I warned her about you because she's kind of...
She's here but she's not actually here right now.
Because it's magic that she's here.
No.
I don't know if it would react.
She seems annoyed.
But she just goes...
As long as you keep your distance away from me.
There's another one here who's magically afflicted as well.
Yes.
And she just goes...
She looks towards the mirror and goes...
I assume you're a cello knight as well?
Yes.
I am.
Kari goes and nods.
Good people.
She would never return to rest now.
And after that tense moment she just turns and walks eruptively.
Good night.
Delmyra just goes...
I'm not gonna sign anymore.
Yeah. Everyone must be really tired, huh?
Yeah. She's new to being here. I mean we're pretty new too.
Yeah. There's people here who have been in this for like a month.
Or weeks, I don't remember.
Let's bring this to an end.
Alright. Good night. I'm gonna go show up and see other people, I guess.
Good night.
She's not gonna go into people's rooms and be like, hey.
I was gonna say that's not the move.
Not with this crew right now. These traumatized people.
Just go down to Jean-Claude's tent.
Oh, that will go well.
She knows better.
Okay.
Everyone go ahead.
Take a long rest.
Thank god. Need it. So bad.
Oh, that sucked.
My spell slots, they have returned.
Oh, should I prep new spells?
Yes, now.
Do you guys think I should take Dispel Magic?
I don't know.
Instead of Spirit Guardian?
Instead of Sending. I'm not gonna take Sending for now. That could go back bad though.
Yeah, I'd let Sending go.
Because we already know where the Archmage is.
I love Sending, but Spirit Guardians is important.
Yeah.
Goat spell.
Gert.
I have Calm Emotions, Lesser Restoration, and Locate Object for my second levels.
Locate Object, I have like, perma-prepped for moon shards.
I have to remind myself, I have a Greater Healing, Inspiration, and Parapet of Wound Closure.
Yes.
Very important.
Fuck me!
I can't believe I forgot that one too when we just handed them out.
And for those who are wondering what Parapet of Wound Closure, I stabilize automatically when I go down.
That's inspiration. I ain't got shit.
I think I used my inspiration.
I got one, I used it, but then I got one from talking to the dude. The bro.
Jean-Claude.
Oui.
Alright, um.
Jean-Claude?
Yes?
You awake.
Delmyra's in my tent, I swear to God.
Hey, what's up?
You meet Delmyra before I have a chance to explain. It'd be really funny.
Jean-Claude, you are the first to awake, being at where you are located in the camp.
As you're just getting up the morning malaise, you notice that there is some kind of reeking stench in the air.
Divine sense?
Yes.
Delmyra cooking.
And as you kind of blink, it's not like an aroma, it's something that offends you.
It's something that you're naturally sensing at the moment.
You felt this before.
And then that's when you hear it.
A screech in the distance.
Make a quick history check for me.
Okay, because I was going to say Jean-Claude's already moving out of the tent.
DC5.
Oh, come on, Jean-Claude. Come on, you can't do it.
It got a lot scarier when I set the low DC.
Come on, come on. Higher than a five.
Yay.
I can't see. I can't see. Hold on, hold on. Why can't I see? It's a 12.
Wait, you know this. You know that sound.
I do?
And I'm going to type it to you.
Okay.
And then you can say it.
As the screen goes dark.
I'm Jean-Globin.
It is a... Oh, you fuckers, it is the gargoyle. I'm going to go kick the gargoyle's ass.
Oh, no. They lowered our max hit points before.
I'm going to go kick the gargoyle's ass.
As you quickly fly out of the tent, hammer at the ready, you hear blast.
You see fleeing streaks of star or lunar light in the distance being fired.
And you see what seems to be a cacophony of cries as you see a lone woman who looks suspicious, like a bigger version of Cecilia.
Hammer in hand.
Put two and two together? I don't know.
Hammer in hand, hand outstretched, currently fending off what seems to be four gargoyles.
Four? Okay.
He'll be like, step aside young lady!
As he's whirling a hammer around in an axe.
Everyone hears that. You hear everyone fussing in their sleep.
You hear like, is that cries in the distance? Man, those birds are so loud. Step aside young lady!
Oh no, Jean-Claude and a woman.
It all goes downhill from here.
Almost trips over a sleeping bag. Wiggles out.
And as you step out, Jean-Claude, hammer at the ready, you feel your bracelet tighten a little bit.
Ouch.
Cecilia, Dalmar.
As you guys are fussing with this stuff, rush out of tent, you see gargoyles in the distance. Two of them were trouble, now there's four.
Directly at the edge of the forest.
You see a pair of two more fly overhead.
Currently.
As all this is happening, you see Lee has stepped out.
He goes, everyone arm yourselves!
We got a lot more people this time.
Remind me when it's only magic attacks would really hit them, right?
They are resistant to normal non-magical weapons.
Right.
Which shouldn't be a problem for most of you, except for Cecilia.
I have one and I can only use it once a day, Tim.
You have a magical thing. It does magical damage.
Your weapon is magical.
If I can get close enough to hit the things.
So everyone, we're rolling initiative.
Initiative? You get advantage Jean-Claude.
Do I?
By the way, all of you get 16 temporary hit points.
Why?
The Mira.
Oh, A-O.
If you long rest around her, she just gives you temporary hit points.
And hers is special because it gives you the whole warlock level plus charisma.
A-O!
And then we say we're rolling and we're going at advantage.
I rolled pretty good.
I rolled a 21.
Should I roll again?
Letting guys know this is theater of the mind.
Yep.
Yeah, you roll again.
I rolled again.
And I go on your initiative with you.
Jean-Claude.
21, baby.
Jean-Claude, Cecilia.
Makes sense I was out of the tent.
Dalmar.
Well, good news, guys.
All the gargoyles are going last.
I'd say good.
They sucked last time.
I just want them to attack anyone in lower hit points for today.
I was going to say I'm scared to use spell slots because it's a remove curse to get rid of it.
That's third level.
See, I don't have to worry about that because I don't have spell slots.
I'm just hoping if I keep whacking it with my hammer because I don't I don't I don't want to take up any stuff.
Jean-Claude, you're up.
As you as you rush as you rush into the fray, hammer at the hammer at the ready.
You've been to see that everyone else in the camp are scrambling about.
People are better at the healing tent at the moment.
People that were hurt before are now mobile and moving.
It's currently it seems crowded over there.
There's that lone woman over there who's dealing with four of them at once.
And they seem to be really focusing on her.
Well, I have to help the lone woman.
Obviously, she is currently situated within what seems to be like.
It looks a lot like Cecilia is like Lunar Veil that she uses all the time.
And it's surrounding her, but instead of like a all encompassing veil, it's a prism.
It's a rectangle.
I guess all these clerics of Saloon look the same.
You say that out loud.
No, to himself.
To me, what?
Yeah, he just he's diving in.
Are there any of them?
I mean, he's like eight feet tall.
Are any of them within reach of his hammer?
I'm going to go ahead and say yes, you can step into the you can step into the prism.
Within the prison that she's currently standing in.
Oh, OK.
He'll go, excuse me, mademoiselle, as he steps into the prism.
I am here to help.
OK, help.
And then he'll just crack one up or try to hit one, crack him up.
All right, go ahead and make it go ahead and make an attack roll.
And I get to.
And this is I add plus one does a 19 hit.
Absolutely.
You know, closest to her.
Just so I can know who to smash.
All right. Give it to me.
Six slashing for the first or would it be bludgeoning because it's a hammer?
Yeah. Oh, it's an oh, yeah, it's a hammer, not an ax, you're right.
Yeah. I mean, I never added my hammer.
Is that what you get plus one to damage to? Right.
I think so, too. So yeah, this would be.
A 12. The only time he's polite.
12 does not hit, I assume.
All right. Bonk.
As you come in for the as you come in for the next swing
this time, now it's none of you.
It dodges, letting out a screech.
This one feels familiar.
Just hit this one before.
You little shit.
They come back.
Is the way that try to take the moon shards after your second hit?
You feel like you can take another one.
How? How?
You're standing in the prison.
Oh, you feel energized.
Moon weaver guide you.
I'll think of it.
He's just you know what I mean?
He's just going to he's just going to he's not even thinking about harmonizing prism.
Is this a new thing?
Did you make a chosen one?
So cool.
I love that section.
You can influence an area with the moon weaver's presence.
Yeah. So I get imbued with this person presence.
And he's like, all right, let's rock and rock and I think he'll trip.
That's a nat one.
It's a rock and rock and rock and rock and rock and stone.
You know, Rockingstone.
You as you you you fall forward and you just really catch yourself just just like, oh, OK, decent recovery.
She didn't see.
I saw.
Shit.
She goes all according to plan.
It's a faint.
She goes, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
And she goes, Damira.
And then the combat continues.
Wait, Damir?
What?
Cecilia, it's your turn.
What?
And she will cast.
Well, is she able to get close enough to cast after leaving the tent?
You're I want to say you have the very edge of you're the very edge of the prison.
You are about like 20, 20 feet away from 10 feet away from the center of the action.
But you but you're within you gain the benefits.
OK, then she will cast sacred flame on the one that Jean Claude was attacking.
OK, go ahead.
Oh, DC 15 dex save or seven radiant.
Do you want this one to have this advantage?
Um, I guess.
All right.
I guess noble saloon saloon benefits.
OK, once if they're within if they're within the if they're within the prism, once it's earned, you can choose to have a spell.
I have to make them say with this advantage.
Oh, that's crazy.
One.
So it takes seven radiant and they really don't want to use my spell slots.
We're all trying so hard to conserve our shit.
Here's six radiant damage for the second one.
OK, thank you.
Because I get a second one, right?
That's what the thing said.
Harmonious.
Yes.
No, they can't trip.
Oh, sorry.
They were dex saves.
OK.
It still fails.
But it's not a minus one.
Yeah, I was wondering.
She's like, oh, did you you guys met?
She's very overwhelmed.
I get that strangely often.
It's as a 1460.
No.
OK.
Six damage then.
Wow.
Fuck.
I think the cargo was it doesn't do that.
Fuck.
Because this is this is this is your friend.
I have to impress.
I didn't say that's Sean Claude.
This is this is my sister, Delmyra.
Where's Augustus?
I want to know that too.
She shoves off a gargoyle.
The fight's still going.
Dalmar, you're up.
So those three are off fighting two of them.
There's two more somewhere, correct?
That's that's more so like, you know, set the right decorating.
There's more people fighting off, but it seems crowded.
OK.
And you know how tough these things are.
He's going to go help them.
None of them are currently grappled or being whatever it was like frozen by them or anything.
I don't know.
I think stupid and not the moment.
OK.
So I'm asked with the pretext context of my character's seven feet tall.
Is there any I can reach?
I'm asking my character's four feet tall.
Is there any he can reach or are they on the ground?
You do have extra movement because you're a Berserker.
So you you can you can actually meet where Celia is at the moment.
I'm gonna go ahead because it's theater of the mind and we can do whatever the fuck we want
We care about fun here because I don't want him to turn
You could definitely you could definitely rush up and meet the one that all everyone's been striking
Also you could use charge
What is bringing yourself forward you barrel towards an enemy with your weapon held at the ready to unleash an attack before they can react
Move up to 30 feet in a straight line and make a melee attack
You can't take the DAS action and use this maneuver on the same turn. Oh
It is that one point action that would get you there. Absolutely. I would do it
So you all?
Dalmar comes out basically just dragging his pickaxe through the stone like
I thought we've dealt with them already
Sending creatures made of stone after a dwarf
Just and it cocks his head and charges pickaxe coming up and over his shoulder
to swing it hard and orange blur of a cannonball runs the ground behind them and
Charges into the fray and you guys feel the force behind just him approaching
All right
Does a 19 hit absolutely hits let's go baby eight piercing damage
Hmm
leap you leap upwards and
slam downwards this
the the cracky exterior of the gargoyle
shatters at your
at your strike
let's see
and
Of course the one that you guys are all hitting doesn't like that. It's being harmed right now
um
Shouldn't have come and got fucked should not have come here then
All right, Dalmar, you have a bonus action. Is there anything to do with that?
I'm going to rage
All right, oh he mad
Can you get an extra attack right?
You do oh
You didn't you did not take the attack action you used a maneuver. Yeah, okay?
um
So all right, we're gonna say that you raged before um so you can get the extra desicc damage in
Let's go ahead and do that
That's an extra one
All right
Thankfully it's two
Temp hit points from rage
14
The max I can get is equal to five times my berserker level
Oh crap that um if you do rage your temporary hit points go away from Dalmar
Ew
Oh no
But it might be a good idea anyways because you have the damage
Yeah, I'm gonna rage anyways
Okay
I'm tanky I don't
So you
You gain two rage hit points
Okay
That's fine
All right
It's still Mira's turn
You're done right?
Yeeees
As uh as everyone as everyone joins in
D'Omio ducks under a swipe
Um and uh
You see that she's like a bit battle like battle wary
Um
Um and she's just been she's just been like
I would say with your wisdom like she's just been she's been scrapping they've they've come here
And you know you know what they're trying to do before they have a purpose
Mm-hmm
Um Delmyra is going to go ahead
Um
She's going to uh
She she she's going to look at one of them
Well the one that you guys aren't currently hitting she's going to use her
Uh cantrip she's going to use astro blast
And that shoots four rays
Miss hit
Oh no
Hit hit okay
Okay we're gonna get those that we're gonna get those down
Geez
Okay that's gonna be it's uh just doing my math here
28 points of 28 points of damage
And she is going to go ahead and use a bonus action to fire four more because it were within the prism
Prism
Well actually it's two of those
Uh okay nine to twenty two I'm just trying to get to you guys' turns quicker because you guys are better
Um but you guys see these brilliance uh flurry of blasts uh coming from her all of them centralizing on one uh one of the gargoyles
And um as they all coalesce and strike a strike against it
Um you see that uh a heavy amount of damage uh
Uh flies off of it and um she's going to use her hasted action
To make a weapon attack with moon duke
Please don't hit her because this prism is concentration
That would be very bad if it went down
She rolled a 19
Yep
And 16 damage
16 total damage um
Warlocks are cracked in A5E
There's a there's a there's a notification that lets you add your charisma modifier to the to the damage
With a weapon that already uses her things
Does that have Daphne got high hits Jenny?
Um she has those things she just
It's just you only get one attack
Yeah
So for every uh so for everyone listening in audio Delmyra her weapon does 1d8 plus 12 um
Damage and uh 1d6 uh radiant
And and this is this is not this is not building like a really impressionable crazy uh NPC that's out of means
You can do this in advanced fifth edition
Here at A5E
Because warlocks are cracked
Except none of us want to play warlocks because doing so in a Timmy game is recipe for disaster
No more
Alright
I'm even scared to play a cleric
So everyone uh so the gargoyles are now pissed off
Good
And they're gonna go after
Cecilia
Mmhmm
Alright
Are you ready?
Uh
Alright so they're all gonna uh one of them is gonna have to take swipes at you uh real quick
Um
Let's see
How's everyone doing today? Everyone doing well?
No
Oh Jesus
I forgot they can hit
The max HP thing sucks so bad on these guys too
Yeah
I was like we're gonna really start our day with them again
You take 13 points of um
13 you take 13 points of uh slashing damage
But
They feel a little bit weaker than before
That's good
Interesting
And for good reason your HP's not reduced
Good but didn't get through the 10th HP so it wouldn't have yet
Do you make a con save and throw however?
Ah that's right you get petrified right?
Well that's a separate thing
Well I guess I can't arrow to 6
You're paralyzed
Mmhmm so now they all have advantage and they auto crit
Okay
One more hit against you
Wait wait wait I'm allowed to take advantage on a saving throw from my
From intrepid?
So can I re-roll it?
Absolutely
I'm probably gonna fail again
Nope 21
Yeah baby
You succeed
I'm sure we're gonna have that with the A5B stuff
I was literally reading over everything just now
Alright uh gonna make one more attack against you
Well it was uh and not natural 20
Yeah 20 hits
Make another con save please
Uh another one
13 points
Natural 20 con save
Yeah you got it
That's a good way to start this off
Alright
As you're getting scratched up Damira uh Damira looks you over
Um and you see it already
That absolute panic on her face
Um alright another girl is gonna come up to Damira
Take advantage of that and go to attack her
Yep that hits not natural 20
Dirty 20 as the cool people say it
My AC is freaking 19 and it's like
Oh this is hitting Damira
I know
I'm still 18
Ouch
I'm like why they roll so high
Damira will make a con save
She succeeds
Alright she takes 8 points of damage
And we'll have her knock her down
Oh gosh
We're gonna we're just gonna go ahead and roll all the attacks real quick
Damira again
That just meets her AC great uh
Should have done that one on me
17 would have missed
That damage
They gotta stop hitting
Uh 11 damage
Damira succeeds 11 damage
Yeah they flew away last time
19 to hit
Okay um
Or is that the con save for you
Yeah con save alright
Um another one's gonna send upon you real quick
Uh Cecilia
And now it's gonna roll a 20 again
Now that it doesn't
Now that it's me I bet
13
13 will miss
Alright next hit 22
That hits
Alright
Con save please
Uh
12 points of damage
Con save 20
Yeah
Okay
Uh so you succeed
And another guy will attack Damira
They're focused on the idle ones at the moment
Uh let's see
Oh interesting I was gonna say why
They want the moon shards
And they know that they would have them
And maybe that we're both like lunar touched
Yeah
Okay
Oh goodness gracious these guys hit fucking hard
22 to hit and 11 damage
Oh
That's a nat 1 baby
That's a nat 1 so Damira is paralyzed
Oh no
I haven't been I have not been rolling concentration checks for her
Sadly
Um
No
Oh you know what she's gonna do
She's going to
Uh she's going to use a heroic luck real quick
Heroic luck
She's gonna reroll it
Nope 2
Hahaha
She's paralyzed sadly
1 and a 2
Hear the target and neutralize a poison
Dammit that's not a disease or a poison so I can't use my lay on hands
I can do lesser restoration
That's true
You know what I'm just gonna get I'm just gonna whip out my die
Um that's a critical hit
On Damira
I thought they were all done
Uh 8 so 16 points of damage
15 so
That's how much damage
Stacks
Um it's supposed to it was supposed to I actually have 5 it should be a 9 so it's 18 points of damage uh total
Okay
Alright everyone uh oh wait no we add the we don't double it okay sorry
We add the plus 12 to it
So 21 points of damage so more damage
Awesome so immediately um
This sudden the sudden swarm uh the sudden swarm uh overtaking uh everyone you see the uh
You see the um these scratches all of a sudden they become much more focused now and Cecilia is in the mix
And you see two of them they
Pinch off from each other and go towards Cecilia start descending upon uh the two sisters
Damira seems to be locked up
Uh Jean Claude
It's your turn
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
Obviously gonna go for the ones that are uh going for Cecilia
Um are the are they still going for Delmira or are they more are they more
Than Cecilia right now
It seems to be 50-50 but focus definitely on them
Okay um Jean Claude will say uh call out
Damir help out the other sister
Uh and he's going to take swings at the gargoyles near Cecilia
Okay
So the first roll oh Jesus Christ that's a miss
Buddy
So first attack is a miss

Oh cause you have a plus one my bad
Yeah
Yes you hit
No worries it's because I have it in wrong in my system
Um that's gonna be
Wow six points
I don't know what to do guys cause I'm worried
I know
I'm so freaked out to use up my shit
We have to do our mission today cause it's the one day we have Delmira
I know
But I I
Is there anything I can use
Do you still get another attack
I don't think I'm in the prison anymore right
Does the prism thing have
Sill up
Um it's not it's gone
It's gone
Okay
Can I then use my movement to
What like can I get in front of Cecilia
Like can I wedge my body in between the attacks
Um
Is there not enough space
You can be with you can be with you can be next to Cecilia yes but uh
But they're right they're like five feet
In front of the baby yeah
Okay um
Then he'll pull up right next to Cecilia and go
Get behind me kiddo they seem interested in you and your sister
I think it's the moon shard
God damn it
Alright
Uh Cecilia your turn
Okay
Showcast
Lesser restoration on Delmira
And has to spend the spell slot
Because I rolled a 28 on the d100
I don't like where we have to spend them
I know and it's a second level
And that's all she can do
Okay let me do it one more time sorry
Um I cast Lesser Restoration on Delmira
Okay
Um and she's moving
That's all I can do though because it's my action
Okay uh Dalmar you're up
He is just going to attack the one in front of him
Because he wants them gone and preferably in rubble
Break damage
Go ahead
That's a 10
Okay
We're having a hard start to this deep morning
Forgive me for the comments
Because I realize there's a lot of moving pieces so I can't really describe everything guys
But go ahead it doesn't miss Salvi
You do have another extra attack
Yeah
That is a 24
Thank god
That is 9 piercing damage
Piercing damage plus a 1d6
Right
What's the 1d6 from?
Just uh lightning
That's your rage
Yeah your tempest
Oh yeah it's the rage lightning
That's an extra 4
13 points of damage
So it's 13, the pickaxe comes down
Heavy again
Into the gargoyle
It loses some of the air that it has in its wings
As you kind of like bring it down you almost like
Drag it downwards
Um
Sadly it's still hanging there it's fighting back against you
But it's
Damn it Tim
What?
Thank you for resubscribing with Twitch Prime
And Ramama to quote her the gargoyle's going down
The gargoyle's going down
Alright
I need them to die
Um Delmyra
Gets up
She
She's going to look
She's going to look around
She takes in a deep breath
And you see
You see
Moonlight begins to gather around her
In this sort of dome shape
She
She aims her hand upwards
And a
The ground shakes
A sudden
Volatile
Blast emits from her
You feel the force but it moves past
All of you
I'm going to go ahead and roll
Moonbeam?
Something cooler
What?
Uh
This is called uh
This is called
Astral Squall
What the fuck?
Eldritch Squall
But I renamed it
Ah but you make it with stars and moons
They're all
So you can pick you don't have to take Eldritch Blast
You can take different things
Like Daphne has Eldritch
She has Eldritch Scythe
You can get a special ability related to that
As one of your invocations
See I'd love to play it
The idea of a warlock in A5E sounds like fun
But I know the consequences and I'm not
I'm not willing
We'll talk about it
No
No more demon deals
I'll just play the demon next time
How about that?
Alright so number two succeeds
I'm going to go ahead and do this real quick
For the 10 points of damage
24 oh goodness
Um even though that would succeed
He still perishes
Alright
As the sudden
As the sudden blast
Takes the area
You see two of the gargoyles
Yes
Willow away, perish away and
Dust
It's cause I subscribed
It's cause you subscribed
Fuckers, now they can't respawn
Just die
The benefits of subscribing to us
You get more of the show because
They get to live
Yay
Alright everyone
I've been subscribed for 12 months
You are the bloodline
Of these two
Yes he is the lifeline here
Okay the gargoyle
Is now going to attack
The mira
I'm just going to roll a physical dice
Because it's faster for me
Um
22 to hit and then I'm going to roll 2d6
6 5
It's so annoying
You know
15 points of damage
15 points of damage to del mira
She's going to make a
I'm using celestial dice
The spell
For del mira's
For del mira's big con saving throw
I got like a moon symbol
Is that a 1 or a 20
Okay those are
Very different numbers
It's a 1
I just used
A second level spell
On you
I thought that was the 20
The 20 is on the other side
What
I think the pretty symbol normally is the 20
Why would they do that
That's mean
She is going to use her last
Heroic endeavor
To
To try and
Try and succeed
That is
A 17 so she succeeds
And she's going to use a reaction
Piss beyond belief
She's going to use
A lunar riposte
She just
As she gets
She just goes
Get the hell away from me
And just
Fires off a gigantic
Air rending blast
Because she gets to do this as a reaction
She gets to spend a spell point
Because warlocks and
Because A5E is great guys
Scary
She uses astral
Riposte in the
In A5E it's called outreach riposte
That's not arcane riposte
Oh it is arcane riposte actually
Because I changed everything to astral
Saving throw
Gosh I can do so fast
That is a 11
They succeed, this is so much faster than typing
But I'm also talking so much faster
So they fail
They fail
So I get the roll of damage on here
Actually because it's faster
Tim Don Tran, the man that does it all folks
Gosh
Most things
Little things
Oh
Goodness
Delmyra kicking butt
She's level 10?
You guys are kicking butt, level 11
Jesus
We're level 5
She used to
She used to struggle and you guys really helped her here
We're just babies
What's she doing?
I found she's like
Let me one be one the Venator
And Cecilia was like that's cute
And then she's like check it out
Eight blasts in one turn
Gargoyle number 4 is going to go up
Going to attack
You Cecilia
Stop
Why are you
Ignoring me
I'm so sorry
That's a natural 20
I might be unconscious
That's not good
I'm sorry
This is going to be a plus 12
5 4 plus 4
You take 25 points
I'm unconscious, I had 23 left
Reaction
I would like to use a reaction
What's that?
I'd like to use a reaction
Yeah what you got?
I'm going to beat the fuck out of it
I would like to use
One of my combat maneuvers
This is called shoulder check
Watching a companion under attack infuriates you
And I fling myself at the opponent with a powerful shove
After a creature makes a melee attack against an ally
That's what it did right?
Yes
I can use my reaction to make an athletics check against a creature's maneuver DC
On a success I shove the creature 10 feet away and I move 10 feet in that direction
It does not provoke opportunity attack
Okay so what am I rolling?
You are
I'm making an athletics check against your maneuver DC
My maneuver DC
Alright
The maneuver DC for these bastards would be 14
Okay so I have to beat a 14
Okay
24
Easy
He sees them, knocks Cecilia down and he rocks their shit
Absolute hype man
And he says I said pay attention to me
He manages to regain detraction in the air
And is going to come up and is going to go up towards you
Let's go baby
The celestial die oddly enough has been more in favor of the gargoyle than the celestial people
Why gargoyles why?
Okay 18 on the dice plus 24 to hit
Yep that's going to hit
Okay
10 points of damage
Make a con save for me please
Con save con save
19
You got it
Okay
Um
Don't do it
Sorry
It's okay
Dalmar
Um real quick I need everyone's passive perceptions
Someone's going to stab us in the back I swear
I can't be surprised if this is where this is leading
Throw that out there
Just yeah I just need everyone's passive perceptions
Okay passive perceptions
13
14
Uh you Cecilia?
Well I'm unconscious but
Oh that's right
22
If she were up
Um
Jean-Claude you take notice
Um another person stepping into the fray
Um magic
Uh at the palm of her hands her eyes alight with arcane magic
Kari
Okay
Yeah we could use some help
Why do you keep making those faces though
She's going
She I've already rolled her initiative
Is it because of the magic surge that's going to happen
She goes after
The Mira
She goes after Dalmira
I was going to say earlier
Is this the Shar follower you've been talking about
I was going to say it earlier and I didn't
Um but she seems friendly
She's just stepping into the fray
Jean-Claude it's your turn
Oh my am I
Oh she goes after Dalmira in initiative
Yeah oh in initiative
She goes after Dalmira in initiative
In initiative
Yeah I thought you said you were all stressed
She goes after Dalmira
And I was like
So god damn it we can't catch a fucking break
Um my turn
Yes
Uh I'm gonna
How much is um
I'm going to use that potion on you Jenny
Just because
What else can we do you know what I mean
Um
It's greater healing
So you get full of that I assume
Um yeah
4d4
Plus 4
Wait why is that a bad thing
You don't heal
You see
As you pour the
Potion down her throat
This is why you're freaking out
Oh
Kari
As the healing
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry this is really
It's okay
God
How did Matthew Mercer does this shit
Okay so as the healing magic
As the healing magic
Begins to make it work
And you see Cecilia's eyes
Began to open as the wounds begin to close
You see she takes off her glove
Kari takes off her glove
She points it at Cecilia
And she
Closes her hand
You see this divine
Magic
Began to wane
It begins to reverse
And that's her reaction
You little fuck
And he's going to
If it's his
It's still his turn right
Take one step towards me and I kill you
It's still my turn isn't it
Are you going to go towards her
Don't
I know I know
But John Claude is
You do what you gotta do do what you do
He uh what'd she say
I'll kill you
He goes what do you want
You live out of this
Give me the bag and I'll call off the gargoyles
You know we cannot do that
Poorest decision you've made
You had your turn
Death save
She used her reaction
It's still John Claude's
Right the healing magic didn't work
Because she used a reaction
Correct
Yes
I have advantage on my death save
He's gonna look her dead in the eye kneel down
Lay on hands use all of it on Cecilia
You used your action to try and
It's a bonus action to take a potion yourself
It's an action to give it to someone else
Oh shit
Fuck nevermind
Delmyra has healing too
And she and the girl goes after
After Delmyra
So
So she won't get her reaction back
And Delmyra's not gonna let me stay down
I know but
Would he
I know he would
I'll call the gargoyles off
Okay we're not gonna give you the fucking bag
So
I don't know what he would do other than
Charge
Or at least put himself in front of her
Cecilia
He doesn't want to leave her side
So he'll use his movement to get in front of her
In between her and
This woman
Okay
Uh
Bonus action and closing glare
Because why the fuck not
Oh this
Um that's a
Combat maneuver
Uh
It's one point
Charisma saving
Throw please
Charisma saving throw?
Okay
And this is to intimidate
Yeah I'm trying to frighten her
Frighten her in that case
22
60
You see
Um this sudden
As she just
Um as
As you set her down she just goes
You move away from those disgusting cello nights
Right now
Until you are
Danlaran you're with me
She shouts out behind her
And
Oh god fucking
Cecilia
I don't know how else
We could have avoided this
Wait I thought it was just like
The little throw away fight
To show off Delmyra's stuff to Jean Claude
So I didn't take it that seriously
I didn't even heal on my bonus action
When I could have taken a potion
I didn't think it was that serious
Cecilia go ahead and make your
Um
Let's save throw
I have advantage because of my blessing
14
I would have been a 5
We love advantage
One success
Uh
Delmyra
Your turn
Man that wisdom saving throw really sucks huh
Uh he notices
This happening right
Surely
He's gotta have seen this
Jean Claude's been screaming
She looks at you
Danlar she just goes
You have one more opportunity
Do the right thing but you don't remember
One more opportunity on what
Do we hear her say that
Or do I hear her say that
You have one more opportunity
Oh Jesus
Oh god okay Jean Claude
That's why she has the freaking wild search thing
Okay
He's oh boy
Like Danlar
One
Nope he doesn't even speak
He doesn't even speak
How close is she
Oh no
No
How close is she to him
You can get close to her she's about
I would say like 15
20 feet away from you
Now perfect he's not gonna move
Don't worry
But
She needs to be
Shown not to continue
Fucking with them
Ha
Cause he doesn't
Know what she's talking about
But internally he has a very bad feeling
About what she is talking about
So he is going to use his ring of the ram
And try to push her farther away
To give the party more space
Okay what am I rolling
It is an attack roll with a plus seven
So it is my roll
Okay go ahead
God
That is a natural one
Okay it's okay
So that magic just wait
I'm burning that point of inspiration
Let's go
Remember we have one
Go ahead hit take a shot
That's 12
She's a spell caster
So maybe she sucks
Freaking mage armor
So he tries to
Push her away with a spectral ram head
And it just doesn't work
Can we run
Where can we run to
Fucking no
Into the city
Into the city okay
Damar is that
Your turn you stop movement
You're by Delmira though right
By Cecilia
Around that
We're all grouped together
He's gonna move in front of
Cecilia
To act as a human shield
Yeah
Okay
Because I haven't
Been attacked yet
By the gargoyles
Yeah I wasn't until I literally
Pushed one
Wow
Delmira
She sees

Your death in
Sharr's name
Oh come on

It's okay
We're not down

Gonna go wailing on it
You know what I mean I was holding back
I will say for everyone

Yes
But the
The arrival
Of a
Selun
Selunite hero
Caused her to be
Very angry
Delmira's gonna go ahead
And she's going to use
She is going to use
On
On Cecilia
She's going to use healing light
This is how much you're gonna heal
26

Kill them all
Ehm
Dhan Leraan
You see he's it
Is sort of like
Is more towards the back but has his
Sword drawn
But we're not gonna... he's not in initiative yet. He's not there.
I need everyone to make Dexterity Saving Throw.
I... does prone give you anything?
I'll check.
Can we just say that Domira got you to your feet?
Prone, let me check.
It doesn't say anything about having disadvantage.
She's just gonna roll.
I rolled a 16! I'll make Dex save.
I rolled a 21!
I think...
...Vantage on Dex.
I'm not unconscious anymore.
Domira healed me.
I'm just looking at things real quick, then I'll roll a promise.
Celia... fails.
Oh, I rolled so good.
I'm sorry.
That's okay.
She's just kind of like...
She's still up though, right?
She doesn't even... she wasn't even there to hear the Kari betrayal part.
This isn't to knock me prone, is it Tim?
It's not.
Okay.
Do I have a chance to get... before we get hit with this?
That's a 9.
Oh god.
Do I have a chance before... to speak free action before we get hit with this?
Do I have a chance to say something to Celia?
I'll allow it.
One word?
He'll say to her,
Run!
What?
35 points of cold damage.
I'm unconscious.
I have 26 hit points.
Don't call you take half that.
All of your speed are reduced by 10 feet.
Oh gosh.
Here we go.
I was gonna make a...
17?
Just succeeds.
Oh gosh.
I rolled one below.
I'm sorry.
That sucks.
Gosh.
Okay.
Let's figure our way out of this.
One...
Okay.
Maybe one moment here.
Just calculating HP.
She does catch one of the gargoyles in a two action.
One moment.
Where's my guard friend?
Where's the people at?
One moment.
Hiding the others.
Just more gargoyles.
Oh that's right.
Okay.
Here it comes.
Gargoyle is gonna have to make a...
Well, that takes 35.8.
One of the gargoyles is dead.
Get fucked bitch.
She gestures for the other gargoyle to towards Cecilia's back of holding.
And that's exactly what that gargoyle is gonna do.
It's gonna swoop in.
And rest it from Cecilia's unconscious form.
That's going to be...
It's free action.
It's going to fly over towards Kari now.
Yes.
From Domira as well.
Wait.
One more.
Oh gosh.
Freaking sorcerer.
She's a sorcerer?
She's a nebo baby?
Oh wrong one.
Oops.
I'm code manifestation.
Okay.
You guys still have your reaction.
Yeah.
I'm gonna swing at this motherfucking bitch.
Go ahead.
Down more.
23 you little asshole.
Domira would do that as well.
I'm not allowed to add smite onto reactions right?
You can.
I will.
So eight slashing.
Plus.
Domira do you want to take an opportunity with that?
Yup.
And that's a ten.
I'm sorry.
What do I get with my...
I'm so sorry.
I forget.
Where's my smite?
Hold on.
Two.
Please while I fly to my smite.
Because I'm gonna use the one on my hammer.
My smite is...
Give us a chance to breathe.
I think we've gotta run.
2d8.
Alright 2d8 go ahead.
Nine.
It's still up despite taking hits from two very heavy sources.
That's okay.
I'm not really concerned about them right now.
She has the moon shards.
Cecilia does or she does?
No that gargoyle just took the moon shards and gave them to her.
Wait she took the moon shards?
Yeah.
Yes the gargoyle got my bag of holding.
The whole bag.
Oh fuck I didn't see that.
Yeah that's what you were opportunity attacking was the gargoyle that swooped in and got the bag.
Oh fuck I would have shoved him again.
That wouldn't have worked though would it?
I don't think so.
This is reaction.
You took the reaction to hit the gargoyle and then the gargoyle brought the bag to Kari.
Yeah okay okay we gotta get the bag.
Gotta get the bag.
Got it.
Alright.
Gotta get the bag.
At the top of the tunnel you see the gargoyle comes over to Kari and just drops it in her
hand.
She grabs it and she looks towards all of you taking steps back.
She just goes not one step closer.
As that happens you see Danlarant steps up sword drawn and you see she just turns towards
him.
She just goes let's go.
And Danlarant, Jean-Claude you can see that there is a hard expression on him.
Not a happy one.
Don't do this!
I'm sorry.
Please take no step closer towards the lady.
You're not sorry.
You are not a knight.
Who are you protecting?
He raises his mouth to answer and Kari just goes shut up.
Towards him.
Fuck you.
Towards him.
Oh towards him.
Oh wow you're a real asshole.
That's how you treat the people protecting you.
You want to work for that?
You let her speak to you that way and still give her your devotion?
He doesn't say anything.
Have some dignity.
He doesn't say anything.
Do you have any idea?
At the top of the round it is Danlarant's initiative.
Come on Dan.
Those before Dalmar.
And I will say this is a tragic commotion.
You hear?
What's going on over here?
As you see Lee approaching.
Oh god.
He's covered in fights.
He's been harsh in the fight.
Oh god.
Lee is anyone going to say anything to him?
Lee do not.
Stay back Lee.
Huh?
What was that?
We both were like no.
We both said like stay back.
Get everyone else away.
Do not take Lee.
The gargoyles are hers.
Lee is going to be in the initiative but he's going to he has heard you guys.
Sadly I wrote a natural one for him before this session.
Alright Jean-Claude it's your turn.
She has the bag and she looks like she's going to make ways with it.
We've done this before so I want to check and make sure it's still okay.
Also this is technically a yellow card because it definitely constitutes a self harm.
Can I injure myself to go invisible?
It's going to have to be yeah.
Do you want to say you go invisible when you took damage from the cone of cold?
Would we allow that?
Would I have seen her have the moon shards after the cone of cold?
No.
I need to.
I have to get the bag.
So however much damage I need to for a quick slash to the palm just to flash invisible.
Okay.
Rule of cool ruling.
Bonus action to quickly just give yourself a hit.
Thank you.
Doesn't have to be just a really harsh smack.
Does she see through invisibility?
Can she?
Was that something that we learned?
I forget.
Someone could see through invisibility.
Oh, it was the Venator.
Yeah, it was the Venator.
Okay.
All right.
So invisible.
That would be if I was doing strength, that would be like what?
Just be like punching myself?
What would it be?
Oh, you can just take one point of damage.
No problem.
One?
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Rule of cool.
I'm going to take one.
He's going to charge and try to grab the bag while invisible.
Okay.
Make an athletics check.
I rolled a 31.
I rolled a 17.
Okay.
Yeah.
You rested from her grip and she seems frustrated beyond belief.
How much more movement do I have left?
You walked 20 feet over to her.
Yup.
You had 30 feet movement, you have 10 feet left.
That was your action to take her bag?
Yup.
And I have 10 feet left of movement, right?
Yes.
Technically, they can't get an opportunity attack because I'm invisible, right?
Yes.
10 feet away backing up immediately.
All right.
Dan Loren's not there yet.
What's up?
What's up, Jenny?
They'd have disadvantage on an opportunity attack.
They can still attack you.
Okay.
Dan Loren's not exactly at her side yet, so he's not attacking.
And does the bag go invisible with me while I have it?
Yes.
Good.
Is she still looking at you?
He...
That's fine if she's still looking at me.
I don't fucking care.
We need to get the bag away from her.
So that was my action.
That was my movement.
And that was my bonus action.
Yes.
I don't think there's anything else I can do unless technically, correct me if I'm wrong,
channel divinity is not constituted as any of those things, right?
It is.
It's listed as a bonus action.
It's an action.
A bonus action.
It's a bonus action.
Okay.
Never mind then.
Then I've done all I can do.
Okay.
Cecilia, can I get that saving throw, please?
Okay.
Advantage.
A five and a 14.
I get him.
I succeed.
Salute's a pleasant, baby.
Really coming through.
You see Dan Luran on his turn.
He just...
You see he just goes, Adeline with me.
He closes his eyes and you see a specter appears besides you, besides you, Dalmar, in front
of you.
He said, Idlewind with me?
Adeline.
Oh, I was like, no.
No more trauma.
A specter appears in front of you, Dalmar, and you see it is a...
It suddenly erupts in front of you in this spiral blue flame.
It wields a blade.
You can make out subtle features.
You see Elven pointed ears and what seems to be some kind of form of armor throughout
this sort of blue specter translucent form.
It just stands in front of you.
It's going to go ahead and...
It draws a weapon, holds it, but it does not attack.
It seems to be a stance of just warning.
Dan Luran has his eyes closed now.
He is forcing his eyes shut.
Can't see as he's just holding his weapon.
Okay.
Dalmar, it's your turn.
I just need to clarify things for myself since it's theater of the mind.
Emma has the bag with the moon shorts.
And I am invisible.
Yes.
Correct.
Okay.
I have a specter directly in front of me.
Yes.
Would that mean either Dan or Kairi are technically in a line behind it?
Dalmar is mad.
Yes.
I'm not even going to have to ask that it's within 120 feet because...
So I'll just remind you it's a DC 13 dex throw and it's 4d6 lightning damage.
Half as...
A 21 dex save.
Okay they've got the wording wrong on the website.
It shouldn't be half as much on a success...
Oh, I'm dumb.
Okay see...
I can't read.
That's what this is.
He's throwing the pickaxe of lightning through the specter at them basically.
He's mad.
The specter fails.
Fuck you.
We're all the one.
So go ahead.
Who succeeded?
The both of the... not specter, people succeeded.
It's 19 total.
My man.
We praise the lightning axe god.
And that is my one charge of it for the day.
The lightning streaks across.
You're careful not to hit anything in the camp.
You see the other gargoyles are scattering within the camp.
The lightning seems to have like...
Some of them are just fighting until they die.
Dispersing into the ground.
The people here are fighting tooth and nail.
The lightning causes... goes directly into the brush of the trees.
You hit the both of them.
Kari seems more hurt but Dandlerand seems sturdy.
But you hit the specter as well and you see that this hurts Dan as well.
Okay.
Dan takes a lot of damage.
31 points of damage.
Oh because his eyes are closed.
Is he vulnerable to lightning?
You hurt the specter.
Oh.
He's connected to the specter.
Is this like an Egonite thing?
No, but it's something along that line.
Everyone buy my A by V supplement module.
Get on the winning team Dan!
Yeah Dan.
Come on Dan.
If this were Iri.
Yeah if this were Iri.
If this were Iri.
He can't say anything.
Dan before my turn ends can I speak because I have something cool to say?
Yes.
I spent too much time fighting ghosts in my head.
I will not be scared by one I can hurt in front of me.
Dope.
He's standing as tall as he can in front of the specter.
Gain a point of inspiration.
Yay I get it back.
We're gonna need that.
Probably.
Okay.
Now it's Dan's turn isn't it?
No he.
Oh he already yeah.
Oh he did he was holding his action.
Yeah.
Oh okay I thought he oh yeah he went before Dalmar not after.
Yeah before but he was holding his action to be wary.
He looks at Kari being hurt and goes damn it.
And you see he just he draws his blade and you see that the you see you see that the
specter is mimicking his movements and he just swings downwards towards Dalmar.
Oh god.
Good thing this is the specter hitting that it hits more harder.
That would hit him.
25 to hit 13 slashing.
13 points of slashing damage.
So he kicks half of that right?
It is it is considered magical.
Okay.
Um let me make it let me let me look up something real quick.
I don't know if we can take extra attacks on on a held action.
It's a part of the attack action so extra attack does count.
You couldn't do like a bonus action offhand.
But extra attack is part of your attack action.
Okay 13 GT.
Two more strikes.
Oh oh my god.
Bloody hell.
It's a plus 10 to yeah it's a plus 10.
So that's an extra 19.
32 points of damage total.
Yeah I'm doing math in my head.
I'm still up.
But it is not good.
Okay.
Domeera is gonna go ahead and she's going to she's going to she is going to heal.
She is going to she is going to take a point of exhaustion.
And in a cone in front of her.
So sadly John Claude you're not there.
She's going to use she's going to use her healing light.
She's going to use the rest of her healing light.
Cecilia Dalmar.
Let's see the both of you heal 60 points of.
Oh Jesus.
Oh 44.
Here we go.
I greatly appreciate that.
I'm back up to 78.
There we go.
Which is one more round of attacks from the specter.
It seems.
Domeera goes.
Please stop.
The lady of loss.
She.
Is just going to go ahead and piss pissed off at.
You have the moon shards.
I do have the moon shards.
I just need someone to come grab them from me and run.
John Claude.
Yeah.
Make a saving throw for me with disadvantage with disadvantage.
Yes.
Even though I'm invisible.
Because it's empowered it's an empowered spell.
You have the number to be the 17 you have to be the 17.
Okay.
I have and see through the invisibility.
Yeah.
Good.
The spell requires you to see people.
That's okay.
Okay.
Deck saving.
Not 20.
Disadvantage.
Oh no.
Do you still have your inspiration.
Please use inspiration.
I will use my inspiration.
This feels like a fireball.
So I will.
Is inspiration let her take the 20 or does she have to reroll?
You have to reroll disadvantage single.
Do I get do I have to roll disadvantage again or can I just.
You have to roll disadvantage again.
Oh.
That might not be worth it.
Well this might be my final roll.
So please.
Yeah.
Okay.
Do it.
17 18.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my god.
It's okay.
Breathe.
It's okay.
She's looking fast.
It's okay.
She's being so fucking fast.
It's okay.
She points a hand at you.
It's finger of death you little bitch.
A blue raid sends her hands and she fires a torch she just goes turn to dust.
As she casts her scintigrate at you.
Oh wow.
But it does no damage.
damage because you succeeded. Oh my god. Did I succeed? You roll DC 17. DC 17 and you got it with
disadvantage with a plus two to your roll. If you did not roll it you would have died instantly.
Please stop doing this to us. It's fine it's okay. It's okay. And I couldn't have even we couldn't
have even revivified you because you'd be dust. It's okay. Does she have is that the end of her
spell? Is that the only one she has? How many more does she have?
She doesn't retain it. Thank goodness. Oh does she benefit from this too?
Even though she's a shard lady.
Okay so she used that up right? Wait I'm sorry so invisibility doesn't work anymore right?
Because she can't see? You weren't hit. You weren't damaged. You're invisible to everyone else
but she sees you because this disintegrate only works against some creature that you can see.
I think since invisibility doesn't really matter. It might work against Dan.
It might work okay then he's gonna shut up but Jean-Claude is laughing his ass off in his head
because he knows that she used it up.
She's pissed. Good good I'm glad. All this in the resume shirt.
If I kill her character while wearing her resume.
I'm so sorry. Crush song woven off. On episode 20 my favorite number. This would have been terrible.
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. Let's keep going guys. Let's do this.
I think we should run but that's on me.
The gargoyle. I'm not well. My heart is beating so fast. I should not have put fucking disintegrate
on this stupid character. Stupid fucking carri von. Oh my wife's like break time.
You want to take like a minute break or so. Let us all get our heart rates down.
No he wants to finish it. We gotta finish this because the heart rate's not gonna go down till
it's done. Okay let's end it then. Let's do it however that looks. Gargoyle is going to take care
of you Dalmar. All right. Like to see it try. 18 to hit total. My AC is 18. I'm sorry. Um
we'll take 2d6. Uh five plus four. Nine points of slashing damage. Make a con save for me.
It is a 22. Nice. It absolutely succeeds. Going to take another attack at you.
I'm not gonna rule with the fucking celestial die. I don't want to curse this dice anymore.
Um I'm so I rolled the elvendiner. I rolled a nat 20. It's okay. You're fucking kidding me.
It's it's it's it's it's okay. The elvendice is hot dice though. That's always that was hot
dice but he used to always roll it. All right. I am in fucking grief. Um this is hellish for me.
It's about time you actually managed to roll well against me. So yeah yeah this has come up.
Why wouldn't we have gone to the theater? If we were just. We'd go to the theater.
We should have gone to the theater. I want to show you guys what I had at the theater but one
day I will uh so it's a crit uh so 23 points of slashing damage total make a con saving throw.
Um if the two of you said she would have she would have that is a 13. 13 okay.
That's um that succeeds. Okay good and I'm not gonna burn that inspiration.
Was she originally gonna go with us and actually help us in the city to go get that moonshine too
and then betray us in the deep in the city. You really just you yeah I'm gonna go ahead and just
confirm it. Yeah she was going to wait to you guys. We were tired. What what made her come
what made her was there a roll is that why she came now? It was Delmyra. Oh she saw Delmyra.
It was Delmyra. Delmyra. Um so they can they can listen to the
fog now. They can listen. Yeah I'll tell you guys once we're done what happened.
Okay um how far are we away from the city walls just out of curiosity?
Um the same distance that you're uh that you are it's it's a little bit of a hike. Um I can give
you an exact read but it's it's like a out of combat travel kind of thing. Crap so we couldn't
like make it. Does anyone have do I still have the flying potion? Was I given two or one? Just one.
I gave you the one. The other one's in the bag though. They're all in the bag. We have
we're minus 10 movement still right? Yeah uh no no no anymore. Um thank goodness. So I have one
in the bag. What else do we have in the bag Jenny? I have the bag list. I have okay okay there's
actually some good things. We have an alchemy jug that's not really important. We have scroll of
light, scroll of dispel magic, two potions of maximum power, one potion of flying, two potions
of climbing, a scroll of Otto's irresistible dance and it's literally irresistible. It works.
That's what we will use on her. Um I have a scroll of charm person. Um we have the fireball
necklace. Four beaded four beads. I remember that because John Claude used it. And there's three
greater healing potions, one lesser healing potion, medicine kit and then two diamonds for um for
revivify. I think we're just sorry I'm pre-plotting this is not fair but I think I'm just gonna have to
fireball this shit. We could. Or use I or I could use the moon shards but that would impact you
Jenny. It would you could use them but that's also a wild surge so we don't know what it'll do. Oh to
Delmar too. Yeah no we can't. Yeah we don't know what it'll do like period unless you're using it
to get more spell slots. Nope nope nope okay all right we have an idea. Okay resume. But the but
the scroll of Otto's irresistible dance. On her. She could maybe counter spell it though.
But that would use up another one of her spell slots. Yeah but that's a really powerful scroll.
I mean it's a very good scroll. If she uses her reaction I think it's very good to use for sure.
Okay. Um because they can't resist it.
It's only one target though.
Okay let's see what we can do.
Whose turn is it now. It is Lee.
Lee don't be a dumb ass. Lee smart. He sees you all getting hurt but
I'm gonna ask you mentioned you in their post in a story. I saw my phone. Yep.
Accountability. Okay Lee is
I am going to roll a d100.
Oh come on. He sees his friends in need.
But also you know what you guys just said. Yes two of them both of them. I'm not gonna roll.
I'm gonna roll a d10. If it rolls on an odd number
Lee is going to be the stupid good person that he is.
If it was an even number. Be a smart ass for once. He's gonna have to trust you guys.
He's gonna have to trust us. Even even even. Six. Thank god.
He takes a step. Thank you. He takes a step backwards.
But he there are other people need help right now. Yep. Jean Claude it's your turn.
He's out of Lee's initiative. Fireball might actually be better. I put a resistible dance in chat.
The problem is I think.
We're quick at the top of the round.
That's right. That's right. That's right. Okay I forgot about this. Sorry.
Oh jeez. Yes yes yes yes I'm listening. So a lot of questions are going to be asked. Okay.
But I can't answer them right now. Okay. Emma you remember your number.
Jenny help. It was 27. It's in my notes. I'm sorry. 36. 36. Yes yes that number.
Take away 26. 26. Take away 26.
Okay so 10. So now your number is 10. Okay cool. Yet again I don't know what any of this means.
Nope. You see um Kari takes a step up towards you Jean Claude. She just goes.
She says I'll put you in the ground just like the rest of you.
Um she twitches.
And her nose begins to bleed.
And you see Dan Lerner just goes.
My lady. Um she just goes. Get the shards now.
The rest of my what. Um it's your turn Jean Claude.
How far am I away from Cecilia. You are 25 feet I would say.
How far can I throw the bag.
There are rules for this. In Baldur's Gate. Easy. Yeah. A normal range of 20.
But uh at a long range of 60.
I'm gonna go ahead and just say like you can yeah you can absolutely just talk it to her.
Just laying on the ground.
Because all he heard was I'll kill you off like the rest of you.
Because all he heard was I'll kill you off like the rest of your.
Blank.
Right. Yes.
May I make an insight check as to what the rest of that sentence could entail.
Um I'm going to allow it yeah.
I also believe I have advantage when seeking truths when it comes to insight.
Oh not advantage. I get what do you call it.
Expertise.
Plus two.
So 21.
DC was 20. You're rolling.
Your expertise.
Yep yep yep yep.
It's before right Jenny.
Well we've we've we've changed it to flat plus two.
For strong great so it's 21 so yeah.
So.
You're extrapolating this in the in the heat of this intense moment.
She her face is contorted she's bleeding out of her not she's being out of one nostril now.
You see her form begin to light up a little bit like light coming off her skin.
But in her anger and bitterness.
And your unique situation.
You can surmise that she was about to say.
Kin.
That's your best bet on where that was going to go.
Your situation everything about that comes to everything about yourself.
And what she would say about you someone that she would barely know.
And he did feel his bracelet tighten earlier this morning.
Yes.
That's bad.
That's I mean that's bad for.
My character.
Bad for my character.
Your crazy roles today.
Have gotten you.
Here.
Yeah you're alive.
And you heard this and you understood it.
I know that's the problem that's the thing like up until now I've been able to you know be like okay think rational think reasonably but now that I know I can get the bag to either Delmyra or.
Jenny's character.
Yeah okay I am going to and it's an action to throw this out there.
Yeah okay I am going to and it's an action to throw the bag.
Yes.
And we determined that to use a what are you call it the my spent my Paladin channel divinity is also an action or that's a bonus that's a bonus action.
Great I'm going to throw the bag to the sisters channel divinity flash of brilliance.
Delmyra will.
Catch it is you're on the ground right now it's easier.
Flash of brilliance.
Yep so Boone everyone gets a bonus to their AC their attack roles and saving throws equal to plus four so keep that in mind.
Bane con saving throw please if you fail you are stunned and until the end of my next turn.
12.
That is a fail.
10 ran.
30 20.
The spectrum does not make this it doesn't have to roll.
So yeah you see car just.
Cover her eyes.
And he would pop back into he wouldn't be invisible anymore and he would say to Dan.
Who it did not affect.
Let us do the right thing.
I get the feeling he just can't.
I know but if you guys can run I will you guys have to go you know what I mean like there's no way we can take them on she's looking bad though you're an honorable man john Claude.
I wish I could explain.
Doesn't have to be your last.
Interesting choice of where and he's going to start using his movement to get up.
Towards Dan LaRan so that he can't go after the sisters.
Because she is stunned and she cannot do anything for an entire round you're going towards you're going towards both of them but he's going to see this you going towards car.
And yeah he's going to have to.
Attack he's gonna have to go Cecilia it's your turn.
She's confused because she didn't see any of the stuff happening but now she sees them fighting the them the bag being thrown back.
And she stands.
And she can tell you that she's going to be able to see them.
And she stands and she can tell that john Claude's targeted car and she heard what she said.
So even though she's confused she's going to take a gamble.
He also told you to run.
But you're running in and she's not going to do that.
So I don't know how else we can run together.
She is going to cast at third level.
Guiding bolt on car because it has advantage.
Plus four.
Plus six because I have plus two from my ring right.
Spell lovers ring is plus two yep.
Yeah to the attack role yes okay so it's plus six to whatever I roll.
Roll with advantage please yes please.
Okay so a lot 29.
Okay um and it's at third level let me roll d100 to see if I keep my spell slot.
I don't um third level.
Okay.
So low.
Oh I'm sorry oh god.
That's okay.
Um okay 19 radiant damage.
She lets out um she lets out a shout as you deal 38 points.
Damage because she is vulnerable right now to everything because she is.
Fae Bane.
Okay.
I bet I bet Sylvie put a curse on her ass.
That seems to that seems to have done a lot Cecilia.
I GT have you been listening to what's been going on.
Yes.
You guys gotta run.
I go to take the back back from Delmyra if she'll let me because I know she's not actually here.
She's letting you yeah absolutely.
You guys have to go I will just vanish no I won't I'll figure it out.
But she can't disintegrate anymore.
I want to take advantage of her being stunned.
I wish I could do my my channel divinities and actions I can't do that.
She's done for this round so she can't move she can't attack.
And I did this so that you guys could take the chance to take the bag and bolt.
I know I know but Cecilia is not going to let you do that.
Can you just at least get far enough so that she'll move away.
She will move back but she's not going to leave you.
But does anyone injured still.
I'm fine.
Did anyone heal.
You're half.
Okay then I'm healing wording you with my bonus action then.
Because big big picture wise if this care and I'm not trying to be self-sacrificed so I'm just
trying to think this through.
If John Claude dies the campaign doesn't end right.
If she gets the moon shards.
I'm not thinking about it from a player perspective though.
I know I know I'm just saying I can't.
I can't leave I can't I can't know you.
I know.
But you heal eight down more.
Delmira can you drag your sister away.
But she will move her movement away.
Time to shut up.
She's only 15 feet away because she was prone.
Okay so 15 feet so you are making distance.
All right.
Kari is screaming in pain burning from the radiant damage.
It's what you get Dan Loran.
I wish he was the man.
Drag Meier is going to be so sad about this.
I know.
No drag Meier it's okay.
You see as Kari is hurt Dan Loran winces as a suddenly a as a suddenly an insignia begins
to light on his cheek and burns.
You ever see muscle cramps.
Yes.
You see it all throughout like his hand his body and he just goes coming.
And he's going to go towards you Jean Claude.
Hurting her hurts him interesting.
Okay cool I'm just going to kill her.
Exactly bonus action the specter comes towards you and he's going to spend six exertion points.
Okay JT if you can try to take out Kari.
It's advantage.
I was going to go after the specter but he moved it.
It teleports it warps over.
No that's good because that leaves you a chance to get her.
Yeah you can do this.
21 25 and 12 to hit.
Okay two of those hit.
That's his bonus action.
Okay we keep going.
Listen we got to do what we got to do 18.
And okay Dan Loran sweeps in and he's going to attack he's going to attack you as well.
Okay.
22 30 and 31 down so we're down but we're stable but we're those are attacks not damage.
Oh oh oh.
But 15 17 and 14 points of damage.
15 17 14.
46 points of damage total.
Uh one point left.
What whoa already.
That being said.
That being said I have the parapet of wound closure now could they auto kill me sure but yet again.
I'm sorry I'm not done.
You're not done.
That's okay.
Of course he's not done.
Can I just mark myself as down.
Tim.
I'm glad he's taking all these hits here.
He's going to strike us one.
Devastating attack.
Another three exertion points from them.
If you and your specter have damaged the same creature during your turn you can
immediately choose to use this reaction both you and your specter make
attack rolls against the same creature with advantage.
Cool.
Down.
Yeah.
27 and a 25 16 six damage.
Okay.
This very very skilled Danlaran shows his fighting his martial knowledge immediately as he swoops
in and with almost just grace and alacrity um you barely see it coming Jean-Claude as you are
struck from two different places.
Do I get one final word out before I go down.
Yeah after after the last hit as the two of them slash at your front and back.
Danlaran lets out a shaky sigh.
Go ahead.
You always don't know what he's going to say.
It's one word it's three letters it's run.
And Delmyra I assume is listening.
Delmyra.
She's brave remember when I said that.
Big picture team big picture.
She's a hero.
Yes and if we can lose the moon shards we're everyone's dead.
Um.
Dalmar.
You're up you just saw Jean-Claude get attacked on two fronts.
Stable.
How far away is Kyrie.
From you.
20 if you can remember.
From you uh 20 feet.
Okay then she's close enough for me to come up and hit her.
Don't JT do a range do you have any range left.
No I don't.
She's a spell caster.
I have no range I used my one range attack.
It's not her it's him he's the problem.
Oh it's him.
You see what I mean.
But how far is he from her though.
With after attacking Jean-Claude.
Yeah right next to right right next to each other.
They're still next to each other.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well you there's advantage on Kyrie and.
She's stunned she can't move.
I'm hoping if she's hurt enough he will take her and leave.
Exactly.
If he is still this dead set on protecting.
And hurting her hurts him.
Words I don't want to say.
Then he should do the smart thing as her knight and leave.
So yeah I'm going after her.
Okay.
So he uses reaction already.
Either seven other one.
Of course.
As you come in you're going to attack the curry.
All right.
He he swoops in with a heart he's going he's going to he's going to swoop in and attack you before you attack her.
15 to hit.
That pisses.
Fuck yeah.
Good.
I'm going to cry.
He rolled a three.
Oh my god he rolled a three.
He rolled a fucking three.
You dodge the the sheen of his blade.
And you're ready to strike.
Roll advantage.
Yes.
It's a 25.
Hits.
Nine piercing.
With an extra six lightning.
Plus four because it's your your boot your boon you've you've been bane.
Is it four to damage or four to attack.
I think it's four to attack.
Four to attack rolls.
Yeah so sorry guys it's four to your AC attack and saving throws so remember that.
You you strike.
You you strike her.
Yeah you you cleave right into it goes the edge of the peck ex edges right into she is wounded badly.
But still up.
Bloody to hell but yes she's up.
Do you have another attack JT?
Yeah.
Still with advantage.
It is.
Did we still have the rule that if you roll two times you get you get super you get super damage.
JT good job you rolled a double nat 20.
Yes you know what because we have to honor two nat 20s in a row.
Uh.
Good job.
You're going to roll damage you're going to add.
Uh.
So how we do is we maximize we add the max dice and we add it on top we're going to do that twice.
So go ahead and add max twice go and read your damage so you have it you have a d8 on your pickaxe.
Yep.
So you're going to so normally on a normal crit we would add a eight on top of your damage it's
going to be 16 and with your d6 we're going to add a 12 so already from already from this you have a
plus 28 to your damage.
Great job.
Good job guys.
And I believe we're not done yet we're not done yet
she's vulnerable to all damage right now um so it's already a 56 on its own.
Um you do have a you do have furious critical.
Yep mine is ending strike.
It's what strike?
Ending strike the profound force of your blow breaks the environment
when you score a critical hit the target is grappled.
All right we're not going to worry about that at the moment but go ahead and roll your damage.
So 56 so take your damage double it and then add 56 on top.
Let me pull up a calculator first.
So oh my god plus 56 to start.
That's 56 to start go ahead and click pickaxe right there on the roll 20.
So 10 plus three.
And you can see it on our you can see it in the chat you can see it's real.
So that's plus 13.
So 13 that's that's that's going to be 20 26 is back on the menu for 26.
And I realize now that this is actually on my sheet.
I just built my hit point maximum in one attack that is 84 total.
Proud of you man.
So you deal 84 points of damage in one hit.
Holy hell.
Please tell me she's still.
She's going to use a luck point.
I'm kidding.
Oh my god.
Why don't you do this to me.
Game take a point of inspiration.
As you strike hard down upon her this mighty strike striking striking down it fissures the earth.
The earth cracks beneath the might of your strike as you feel the tempest the surge inside of you.
The voice inside of that cave the face of Malcolm everything the ghosts inside of you fighting the
ghosts in front of you.
You strike down with all of your might.
And she falls.
And as she falls.
One of her arms.
Because of this because because of the sheer force of your strike.
As you strike down it cleaves right through and you see one of her arms severed flies through the air.
That's fucking weird.
And falls.
And for a rule of cool can he remember what happened during the night please.
Now that she is down.
The rage is there.
The rage is.
The rage helps your it helps unaddle your mind you remember.
I told you.
It was my affliction was my penance not to be forgotten I am done being tormented by what I have lost.
Know my pain know what I am and who I am.
I suggest Dan.
You leave now.
I wish I was awake to hear this shit.
You can feel it.
The moon shards will not help her.
They are a curse worse than the one she has now.
Leave.
You see her face.
Leave.
You see her body alight her arms severed.
Dan kneels beside her.
Has a hand on her.
As you see seemingly as your reaction to her suffering a mortal wound.
Arcane sigils begin to alight on her body.
Dan looks at you.
I am Dalmar.
And they just go.
He just goes.
They are not for her.
Best wishes to you all.
And know that she is lying to people.
To get them for her for whatever she needs.
She told me that they would help me.
They are no help to me.
A sudden flash takes.
A sudden flash takes the area as a contingency comes into play.
And the two of them vanish.
I knew it.
I knew she was spelled magic on her.
The gargoyles let out a screech.
As you see that when she was gone.
There was no screeching when she was down.
And then you see that they begin to dispell.
Disappate into steam.
Dalmar makes her way over to Jean Claude.
If that's where Cecilia was running to.
Cure wounds.
The moment he shoots up he's going to go.
Fucking run.
You healed 30 points.
He's so mad.
Oh god.
Do I also.
With my.
And this is a weird question.
With my devotion thing.
Do I get a source of inspiration?
That's right.
For committing an act of self sacrifice that includes grievous injury to myself.
I just had a realization.
What?
I killed myself again.
If you died to the disintegrate.
You would have sacrificed your life for another.
And you would have fulfilled your destiny.
And you would have come back.
Oh fuck.
I'm so sorry.
Oh fuck.
But that didn't happen.
Instead you rolled very well.
And you succeeded.
And you fucking endeavored through this.
But do you see why this man is constantly sacrificing himself?
I have a play out.
It's a gameplay mechanic.
It's a win is a win.
The win is a win.
You guys need to trust me.
I know you want us to go back into the town.
While we have Dalmira here.
We really can't.
We all need a long rest.
Me specifically.
She go um.
We gotta do it while Dalmira is here.
As the gargoyles disappear you see.
Um.
And.
Everyone like as they're still like wary.
They're still wariness.
Everyone in the battle already stands.
Um.
You see um.
Dalmira um.
Look over to everyone.
Having a hint towards you Jean Claude.
To help lift you up.
Um.
And then you realize she's not very strong.
And you help yourself up more.
Um.
She uh.
He's so mad.
Um.
She just goes.
You okay?
He I think he's so enraged that he can't even speak.
Which is unlike Jean Claude.
Um.
He looks fine.
What happened?
I couldn't.
I was out.
And then they just.
Kari.
After I healed.
Um.
The people at the tent.
I introduced myself as a
I introduced myself around.
I I saw you.
And.
When I went out to go see you.
The Scarco started attacking.
Lee goes.
Is everyone okay?
We're okay Lee.
Um.
And.
Yeah.
And.
And he just.
Everyone else.
Does it count?
Just um and you hear.
Few injured.
Just we're checking around now.
Um.
You see uh.
Delmyra.
Um.
Delmyra just goes right into the hands of a shot.
Just right into the hands.
Right into the hands of night cloaks.
Of all people.
They just showed up yesterday.
I healed her. She was sick.
Everyone please stand around me.
Everyone.
If I do this.
I'll still be alive but.
I'll barely be.
I'll barely be able to move my.
I might not be able to move my body that well.
What?
Do what?
I'm going to call on.
Saloon.
Through me.
Everything's going to be.
Everything's going to be okay.
To do what?
I'm going to make sure everyone's fine.
We are fine.
So let's take it easy please.
There's no need to cause.
You're going to harm to yourself for our sake.
We are perfectly capable of helping ourselves.
We still have a moon shell to get, Delmyra.
We need to stop this moon.
Are we in a state.
To go into the-
To go in there and get it?
Not today.
We can't be.
With Saloon.
She's going to give us something that's like a long rest.
But what's going to happen to her?
What's going to happen to her, Dem?
Because I think we can be fine with a short rest.
I know you have some long rest abilities and that sucks.
I just won't get my pickaxe back.
I didn't use up that many myself.
I barely used any. I used one of my spights.
One of seven.
I cast three spells and I'm full health.
I just won't have my lightning.
I'd be fine on short.
Damn, do not cause serious harm to Delmyra
She's definitely not going to die.
But she wouldn't in this situation is not that drastic.
But it does imply that she's going to use a lot of her strength.
Can you save it?
We can rest up, we can talk, we can plan.
And then we can go in.
Just have to get to the tower.
Okay.
But we are going to have to rest while we plan.
Mm-hmm.
Those... those were Sharan's.
They hate selenoids.
Night cloaks, they do everything they can.
They do everything they can to try and kill a selenite.
You heard what she said.
Just, your death in Shara's name.
That's what... just... they have to let people know that when they kill them, that it's in Shara's name.
Yes.
I don't know if that girl is... I don't know if that girl is dead.
But if she's going to come back, it's going to be a huge... it's going to be a huge problem.
Can't let them get the moonshots.
She sent the gargoyles.
We fought gargoyles yesterday.
I was fighting...
a long time ago.
Not recently.
But these same gargoyles.
The same kind.
Okay.
We're all going to have to rest.
We're going to have to... we're going to have to draw.
Do you guys have a map?
I... I do.
She goes, alright, well...
We're going to have to... and then you hear...
You hear in the distance...
You hear...
She goes...
She goes, feel critically injured.
She goes, in the tent, far side, west.
And people are moving.
You make your way over.
Dalmar, you as well.
And you hear a voice.
You hear Lee.
She goes, what?
Um...
You make your way over to see Luann, the person who made potions, currently being tended to.
At the moment she's being lifted.
But her body is stiff.
Motionless.
A dagger in her back.
For those who have paid attention, it was the dagger on Kari's hip.
She had...
Lee goes, Luann...
Luann, are you okay?
Please...
How long was she like this?
We found her like that.
Is she alive?
If it's a poison, I can stop it.
I'm not breathing.
If it's poisoned, I can stop it.
I beg the two of you, whatever you can do, please.
Okay, five points.
I can't lose her.
Okay, noted.
Five points of lay on hands to cure all poisons.
Your magic helps those who are alive.
It's been longer than a minute.
Does Delmyra have a better spell?
She makes her way up.
She, um...
Such a stupid way, she goes, does anyone know how long it's been?
No answer.
She goes, I just found her like this.
Alright.
I would have to assume since midnight at the longest.
I...
Kari visited me in the night and wanted my assistance in getting the moon shards and I turned her down.
I have to assume that this was some sort of retribution for my actions.
And you didn't tell her.
She goes...
You didn't.
How many diamonds do you have?
Two. The two that you had in here.
If it's...
She...
She goes...
I'm going to Neith. I have one but...
I have a few in my pack but I'm gonna need one of yours.
Um...
Okay.
I'm going to take a shot. I'm going to try.
But if she was killed by a Sharan then...
Okay.
Here's what's going to happen.
Um...
Three of you roll...
A D100.
All of us?
Yeah.
You all collectively have to go over...
A 120.
Yeah.
16.
Um...
You guys rolling on the roll 20?
16.
16?
Yeah.
44.
44?
You have to roll over a 60.
Yeah.
That's an 89.
As the three diamonds, an expensive, an expensive fine amount, begin to...
The magical, airy swirl...
The diamonds are not crushed. They simply just begin to unform.
Unwinding at the...
At the beckon of the spell.
As the offerings are offered to those of authority.
Just within the weave.
And energy courses through Luan.
The mirror...
Takes a point of exhaustion.
One point.
She already has one, right?
Yeah.
And...
After a while...
As everyone watches with bated breath...
There comes a moment as the spell dapples along Luan's skin...
And it disappears.
And for that moment, Dalmar, it feels like you might have lost her forever.
I'm...
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I didn't...
I'm not going to let them get away with this.
Luan suddenly bursts awake.
Thank you, gods.
Luan.
Hi, everyone. I...
I'm...
Feels like I took a good nap.
As she starts viewing again.
The knife is in her back still.
No one took it out.
He's going to just hold her hand and make sure she stays laying down.
She goes, what is that? Is it a cactus? Why is there a cactus in my back? Oh my gosh, it's like one big cactus.
Stand still.
Are you going to stab another one into me?
It's not a cactus, Luan.
Just... she has her medicine kit.
Take it out.
Dalmar is going to be like, here...
Reaches into her bag, pulls out a small scarf. Here, bite, bite, bite this.
This. Don't worry, I'm a screamer. I know what that means.
And she goes, why am I going to bite it?
Cecilia, you reach in with your medicine kit and you're ready to safely remove it.
It's okay.
Luan, you're okay. Luan, you're okay. You're okay. You're okay.
Half sang it for himself.
Sorry for my...
Sorry for the faulkner language, but what the heck happened?
We'll tell you when you're better. You need to rest.
Oh my gosh.
The last thing I saw was that really pretty girl. She was just on my tent.
When?
Oh gosh.
I wasn't keeping track of the time, but like you guys...
It was like a little bit after you guys turned into rest.
Ow.
Wait, Cec...
So much... What the heck?
Huh?
Did she do it before she came to see Dalmar or after?
After.
Okay.
Just... I know you don't like to, but for my sake, Luan, please rest.
Oh gosh, I can barely... Well, I can feel my back. It's on fire. My entire back, me.
But... If there was like a thing in my back, then I would have no choice to.
Oh gosh.
Is this what getting old feels like?
Dalmar goes, well, she's okay.
Sigh really falls over everyone.
As... Jean-Claude.
She's okay now?
Yeah.
Can I punch Dalmar in the face?
Make an attack roll.
Why?
What was the last thing you said out loud to him?
Jean-Claude doesn't know about the...
Bang! Punch.
Plus...
I can choose to let her hit me, can't I?
Yeah, you can.
Yeah, she's gonna hit him. I don't remember what I said, but...
Said she came to my tent and told me I didn't agree with her and Jean-Claude said you told...
Four... Four points of bludgeoning damage and immediately...
People... Leigh and people are like, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa, trying to get in between the both of you.
The hand goes up, like...
This is your chance to explain why you did it.
I suggest you do it quick.
I have to explain.
And he's gonna glean down, kneel down.
You have to explain.
I didn't remember anything until I knocked her to the ground.
All she wanted when she visited me last night was help in getting the other moon shard.
I didn't have time and I didn't remember until she was on the ground.
Whatever she did, she changed my memories.
What else have you not to remember?
Shankar.
Demirus goes, he didn't remember, it's not his fault, and now is not the time to be fighting
each other right now.
Well I don't know.
Who can we fucking trust at this point, huh?
I have been nothing but honest with you since you came.
I have nothing left but my honesty to go off of.
I have no name to stake it against.
I'm sorry but you have to believe me, I did not remember meeting her until she was on
the ground.
At that point it was too late to tell you anything more.
You didn't see it Jean-Claude, but he's the one who took her down.
He was on our side there where it counted.
And Cecilia.
And now he turns on her.
We are friends.
I know I joke about being your superior but I am not.
But as someone who's meant to carry the moonshine, you have to put them first.
I wasn't going to leave you there.
And, and she was, she was stunned.
She was almost down, I knew I could help you.
For this time.
But Cecilia, if I go down that would be sad.
I lose Sylvie if we lose the moonshine.
We lose everyone if we lose the moonshine.
I wasn't going.
Enough!
We're going to take this chance to cool off.
No one's letting anyone die.
Period.
He'll nod and go off on his own because I'm pretty sure he needs to be away from people.
You you and Delmeera share a stare down.
She is pissed.
That's fine.
No, no, no, no, she is.
No, she she's not pissed.
She is firm.
She's resolute.
She's meeting.
She's meeting your gaze, taking it, but and not backing down, not but not intimidating
you.
And eventually, eventually you, you break you break away and walk.
Yeah, that's best.
Cecilia Delmeera, you have my eternal thanks for your help, not only in the fight, but
for bringing Luan back.
I swear to you, I will reclaim my name and when I do, you have the entirety of Set Golden
Rock behind you.
Right now, you can thank me by getting rest, getting a clear head, getting your pickaxe
arm, a good rest because we're going to need that again.
Just rest.
Every coming, if you're coming into the town, we're going to need you at your best.
Do you make your way away?
Maybe toward Luan and Damar?
Yeah, he's basically just going to sit in a chair by whatever bed, whichever tent they're
keeping her in.
That's where he's staying.
They've gotten Luan into a better position now.
And Luan, upon seeing you, just goes, it's kind of like the feeling of doing a setup.
How does this girl work out?
She is an absolute bean pole of a person.
No strength, no nothing.
She bends in half.
She has done negative workouts.
Her back is hurt and she's like, oh, I sit up.
Poor child.
Hey, Luan, you're okay.
You just need to rest.
Don't worry.
I'm not going anywhere.
She reaches out.
She gives a squeeze on your wrist.
I'm okay.
And I think you really need to hear that from me and not yourself.
You need to be okay, too.
We're okay.
We both need rest.
But we're okay.
And then we cut over to Delmira and Cecilia.
Delmira, your sister who was willing to let you lead, but then almost as if by habit,
just taking the spot from you.
Sis, let me look at you, walks over to you, immediately fusses, looking you over.
You're healing.
Help.
It feels like...
I'm out.
I am out.
The last time I was out, we were fighting a dragon.
If we take a moment, I can get some of it back, but I'm not going to get all of it.
You recover faster than most people do.
I saw that you...
You went down.
When we get into the town, just stick close and stick behind me, okay?
I'll be fine.
That was different.
She wants... you can probably tell she wants to say something, but she is just holding
back.
But she often does that.
She sees that.
She takes your hand, looks you in the eye, she goes, get some rest.
Am I right?
I'm always here for you.
I wanted to show you that you didn't have to worry about me.
Even if you did 20 backflips and killed a dragon without taking any damage, I will always
be worried about you.
I know, but I wanted to show you that I could handle this.
Get some rest.
We're going to have to start planning soon.
She was ready to let you lead.
And then roll an insight check.
There was a moment of when she met you, there was the acceptance, the readiness to believe
that you were ready.
She had accepted that you had changed, that you had outgrown her.
Without that fight, you going down, you being hurt, something changed.
Maybe it's not solid yet, but there's a reason why she's been taking them.
She's been standing on the front right now.
You see her walking over towards Lee, the two of them begin to speak.
She already starts talking about making plans.
You she thought you were going to do this.
But now it's different.
She just, she needs to rest, but she'll go to check on the rest of the wounded first.
Many people are wounded, but at least no one has died.
She'll help them with her medicine kit.
She doesn't feel like she wants to go sit alone right now and she can't really go to
Jean Claude, so she does this instead.
As you sit down with your medicine kit and you begin tending to the wounded, Cecilia,
if, Jenny, if you want to, you don't have to.
What's Cecilia thinking about right now?
It's not as much what she's thinking about.
It's just that she's, she's, she's been struggling with the confidence.
She was worried about, about scaring Delmira, but she just doesn't have the confidence
right now.
Dalmar?
How is Dalmar feeling?
What's he thinking?
Right now it's just relief that Luan's alive and that he can be next to her.
Frankly, I don't think he has the mental capability for anything else right now.
He knows what's coming.
He's enjoying what relief he can get.
Jean Claude, you make your way to a secluded part of camp, maybe possibly towards your
tent where you can get the most seclusion.
Father.
Go ahead.
You'd like to go in deep into the woods.
Yes.
Well, go down, take out a small piece of wood that smells when you stick it into the ground,
burn it a bit, take off his bracelet and lay it gently around the piece of wood.
Because he has once again failed to protect his kin.
And he says he doesn't pray.
He doesn't know how, but he tries to remember those who might have fallen.
You take the moment to remember.
As you do the weight of...
This is what the alcohol was for.
Yeah.
To run away from it.
Just to numb it.
But the time has passed and realistically...
Realistically, right?
But...
Hey.
Go ahead.
He just looks up to the trees and says, I have had my time.
I'm looking for you.
And no matter what world I may end up in, I will always look for you.
But I need life to go on here.
It is so much bigger.
I need hope to live on and little girls will kill you.
In this place that seems hostile to you or uttering a prayer, they seem like the...
Maybe the air around you or the thing hanging in the sky doesn't deserve it.
Or maybe it would laugh at you.
It would break down on you.
You still utter it anyway.
But then...
Natural 20.
Oh no.
There's a strange tug on your wrist.
Your bracelet.
You felt it before when you were charging into danger.
But now...
Surely it could have been a coincidence, right?
How you...
Laughed at a prayer.
But you feel a tug on your wrist and you look.
Your bracelet has moved.
And not only has it moved, a twine, one of the twines grow.
And then it stops.
It tightens around you for a moment.
Like a gentle squeeze on the wrist.
A gentle squeeze of reassurance.
And you gain another use of flash of brilliance.
Now you have two uses of it.
Total maximum.
Your oath.
To find her.
To protect those who you hold dear.
Those who you hold dear, most of them are gone.
But the ones you have now, they're still here.
And you're going to protect the ones you have now to make up for the ones you didn't.
Yes, they just need to take my protection.
But most of all...
As stupid as it sounds.
Most of all...
As if the bracelet is telling you.
You need to live.
Selvy needs you to live.
When John Claw genuinely cries, it doesn't make sound.
In the past when he's cried, it's been comedic.
It's been a reaction to being overwhelmed.
But hearing in his head, they need you to live, is where all the bravado, all the humor,
all the anger, fear washes away and it's just tears.
Because that's also what the alcohol was for.
A moment in time, a time to recollect, to reminisce.
And maybe a new time to prove ourselves.
Next time on the Lanaya Expedition.
What a chill session.
Welcome to the story of broken people.
Yet again, do happy people play D&D?
Timmy was genuinely so scared.
That was bad.
I was like, oh gosh.
That was bad.
I told my players in session zero, I am connected to your characters and if your character dies,
I will cry before you do.
And we could see that clearly.
I was so fucking scared because I had disintegrate in the mind.
And I was like, oh, I'm so sorry.
But hey, at least I would have popped back up.
Yeah, that would have been awesome.
The realization afterwards, I would be crying.
So as long as she doesn't use it on the others.
I was going to use it on.
Well, you know, Lee and Dalmar for the main target, she can she can twin it.
But you had the bag.
And she needed you gone.
But with this advantage and a plus two, you get a 17 and you save.
Yet again, I'm really glad we used it up then.
Yeah, JT, could you fucking imagine?
The only thing that the only thing that would have survived in your body are the magical
items and.
Your bracelet.
Yeah, but I would have been fine if I would have done that to down our do you know how
being awful it is that the only thing left would be his prosthetic arm?
That's what I'm saying.
If it happens, it's so fucked up.
They see would come back from the ashes like the fucking Phoenix, but if it happened to
our.
Yeah, Delmar would be flat out gone as would leave the innocent NPC or worse went for Cecilia.
Oh, she couldn't.
Could she?
She couldn't.
Why didn't she?
And do what?
Why didn't she try to disintegrate on Cecilia?
Because I was already down.
It felt like overkill.
Because because you had the moon shirt.
She needed you.
She needed you gone.
No, but like earlier.
Oh, earlier.
Like I'm wondering if you have a blessing that protects her.
There is a there isn't because Jenny called it out immediately and fucking shaking my
fist.
She was she was planning to come in with you.
She was going to send she was going to send Dan to go with to go against the Venator and
go with you.
She was going to come in.
And when you guys were tired or when you guys got the moon shard, she had sleep ready and
disintegrate everything ready to go.
And she was going to do a heist of the century.
But because of fact, oh, sorry.
Sorry.
No, you because of factors.
Do you want to move?
She needed to go early.
I wish I'd spoken my predictions earlier, because at the beginning of the session, I
was like, no, Kari's the Shar follower.
Timmy said you've already met a Shar follower.
I was like, so I was going to say she's the Shar follower.
Yeah, that's why she's mad at Delmyra.
That's why Timmy had you guys deafened to she basically straight up said, I am a follower
of Shar.
Get me the moon shards or I will kill you.
And Delmyra said no.
To clarify, she was like, I can help you.
I can help you.
I have the same affection as you.
But Shar can help you.
You give your loss.
You give your losses to Shar and she can help.
You just have to get the moon shards.
She's going to have a lot of losses to give to Shar.
It is it is kind of poetic that he ripped her arm off.
Because he has one arm.
I prefer to have mine now.
I prefer to have my villain have all the limbs, but that was awesome.
And it had to it had to have you.
Okay, no.
The real reason why I'm saying that, Tim.
Yeah, Jean-Claude came back would have been perfectly fine.
Everyone else would have been perfectly fine.
You killed an NPC completely off screen, Tim.
Because of a choice you made.
And I don't know what my reaction looked like because I was fully facing away from the camera
when you said she was dead.
But oh, God, I wanted to actually hurt you.
Oh, no.
He has a habit of giving me female, naive, innocent NPCs and killing them instantly.
This is the second time you've done it.
You've played with JT.
Two, two out of three of your games.
Well, you know, in Penny's offense, she didn't speak against the Empire.
And that was.
But she's back.
The mirror is here.
I hate this so much.
I hate this.
We'll see you next time.
Oh, no, no.
Oh, presidents.
Yay.
Hey, at least no one died.
I know.
Also, your pre-minship is beautiful, JT.
Yeah, I told Tim that alone for each of your envelopes took about five or ten minutes.
Oh, I thought that was printed when I looked at it.
Oh, he got custom cards.
If you hold it up to the light, you can see.
You can see the pencil mark.
I can see it now that I'm in my booth.
I can see the light shining off of it and I can see the marks.
But upstairs, I thought it was printed.
Well, thanks, Santa.
Oh, it's backwards on the camera.
JT literally is Santa right now.
Thank you.
It's been on my chair the entire time.
I know, but on your head with the headphones, it's so cute.
I love it.
I also apologize for the second part on your card after what happened this stream.
Okay.
My card says connections from Hallmark.
It's Get Good.
For context, on Emma's, I also had a message from Dalmar to John Claude that just says
Get Good.
It comes off a lot worse after this stream.
Oh my God, if he died.
If he died, I swear to cry.
It's much worse now.
You said you didn't want us to read them on stream?
You don't have to.
That's sweet.
When I had received this, JT said I could read the letter before.
And I was high.
I was high on what they call the marijuana.
I don't take edibles very often.
I have taken five in this year, and that's the most I've ever done.
When I read it, I was like, I fucking love this guy.
I love you, JT.
I won't read the whole thing, but I want to read this part.
Hey, Tim.
I heard you pee the other day.
What?
No.
Your stream sounded kind of weak, bro.
Tim.
What's going on?
Come on, man.
Don't do me like this.
I'm kidding.
I didn't even say what he said on mine.
I'm kidding.
No, but of course, he didn't write that.
He wrote something very sweet to us and very near to our hearts.
Also if Delmar had died and you wrote get good, then I actually would have started puking
out of sadness.
At the time, it seemed so funny to do that for you specifically.
Oh, God, if that happened this session.
I would have been so unwell.
So deeply unwell.
All right.
So JT, what do you prefer?
The tube or the square?
The tube or the parcel?
Do the tube.
The tube.
It's nice.
I'm really going to regret taking a picture of all my dice before.
My favorite color.
It's our favorite colors.
These look so nice.
Wait, what's your color, Emma?
Purple.
Oh, me too.
I was like, they look the same.
I was curious.
Oh, they look even more.
I was like, they look really blue with the paper inside.
But you take them out, they're very purple.
They're so pretty.
Wow.
They're like a light lilac color.
Really pretty.
Yes.
Oh, they're so clear.
It's so nice.
Oh, they have like a little design.
There's like a, is it like a test tube?
Yeah.
It's a way to be.
Okay.
I always roll.
Support your local tabletop and hobby stores, everybody.
Oh, my gosh.
I love the color.
Lilac is my favorite color.
Yeah, really pretty.
I'm going to roll with these now for John Claude.
Oh, yeah.
Hell yeah.
There's two D6s in it.
There's one like traditional D6 and then one with the numbers.
And the beaker.
The beaker.
All right, everyone, we're going to play rules for the D23.
I'm going to get to the D20.
It's already at the bottom.
We're going to play rules for the D20.
Whoever gets the highest, take these paper.
Extra point of inspiration.
Ooh.
I didn't win.
Okay, hold on.
I did not win.
If Tim wins, I get it.
Yeah, I didn't.
For context chat, about two weeks ago.
16-2.
Emma gets it.
Yay!
For context, I asked the three of them for their favorite color and their address.
And I believe my message was, for totally unimportant reasons, I'm demanding this of
you three.
They didn't understand what it was for until I said your Christmas presents are in the
mail.
And I still thought it was good.
I had a theory.
I didn't want to make any bold accusations, though.
I still thought it was going to be a kid backpack leash.
No!
I was going to be like, man, this blue dye-colored anthrax is going to be real rewarding.
It's going to be real original, man!
It's the best Christmas ever!
Where did I put the lid?
The lid, the lid.
It has one more.
One more, one more.
All right, all right, all right.
I don't have a lid, so I'm just going to set it right there and hope it doesn't fall.
Okay.
Should we do it one at a time?
No.
No, no, no.
All right.
All at once, trust me.
Yeah, the chat is like, open them!
We deserved it!
It's a leather journal!
Is it?
My current one.
Oh, it's got gold on the side.
Yay, yay, yay, yay!
You gotta see, though, JT.
My current journal is already over halfway done.
And I was needing a new one really fast.
It's got shiny!
Gold eggs!
You got me!
I'm fucking rich!
Holy fuck!
That's great!
Report your local stores.
Oh, I love the ribbon bookmark!
I love the ribbon bookmark!
Oh, it's got a bookmark.
Gallery Leather Journal.
No, in this case, those were Barnes & Noble, so.
Aw, thanks, JT!
Thank you!
Now I'll actually take notes during series.
That's so good.
It was assembled in Maine.
I normally always go, Jenny?
Take your notes.
Now I'll take my notes.
You're gonna start taking notes?
Maybe I should take notes.
I also gotta start taking notes, to be honest now.
Hey, you know what?
I think we can all agree on one thing.
We're gonna get super hardcore revenge on JT.
The shirt was just the beginning.
The beginning, friend.
You're... worst.
You know what?
I already got something.
Timmy's on Amazon right now.
Add to cart.
So Amazon or Steam.
Ooh, Steam's a good one, too.
Thanks, Santa!
I love my dice in my journal!
Thank you so much!
You needed a journal.
Nice!
Because my other journal that I had as a gift, I used for Blackguards, and I don't want to
mix games, because especially if we go back to Blackguards, then I'm gonna need it again.
And I was like, what am I gonna do when I run out?
I was going to start taking notes of Cecilia's sendings, so that she can keep track of them.
And I was like, I don't have room in my journal for that, so now I can.
I'm just gonna follow along with the plot like I should.
I didn't take many notes today.
I don't know how any of us did.
I made a note, though, for actually what I wrote at the end of the game is longer.
I don't know, I'm so bad about falling.
I always have so much emotions in character at the end of a game, and so then when we
pick up next time, I'm never...
It's so hard to get back to where you were, and I never do.
And I was like, this one might be important.
I'm gonna write down, this is what she would want to say.
But I don't know if I will stick with it, because my emotions and my opinions change
over the course of the week, usually.
If I were to write my character's opinions from this session, it would be, fuck, in the end.
That's about it.
Honestly, this was the most, even the scarecrow drowning, which was scary.
Not a fun time.
It's pretty funny.
It was not funny.
It was not fun or funny.
It was scary.
But I think this was the most tense episode we have ever had in Linaya.
I thought we were close to dying last time.
This one was so much worse.
No, this one was literally...
We literally were like, oh god.
And I'm like, all I could do was smile.
I was like, it's okay, Timmy.
It's okay, Timmy.
Keep going.
Keep doing it.
No, you don't want me to keep going.
Stop me.
Tim was getting so upset.
We're like, it's okay.
That's how you know your DM cares.
And it's like, I knew it was bad when he just was like, when he was like, Kari walks up,
and he's so upset.
For me, it was like, you approach them?
You really approach them?
And it's like, I don't know what else to do.
I have it in her mind that if someone is going to try and stop her or approach her,
she's going to fucking obliterate them immediately.
Disintegrate them.
Oh, that's what it is, disintegrate.
Yeah.
If you look back when she's walking into the fight and look at my face,
I am trying so hard to not be mad.
I wasn't even thinking that because, you know, we're like, oh shit, the gargoyles.
Our new ally thing.
Yeah, an ally.
Yay.
I would have healed.
I wouldn't have gone unconscious the first time.
I would have gone unconscious still the second time.
But I wouldn't have gone unconscious the first time if I had used my bonus action to take a healing potion like I knew I probably should have.
I was like, I know I probably should have, but I don't want to waste my resources because this is just the gargoyle,
the quick gargoyle repeat.
This is the quick gargoyle repeat to show off Delmyra being cool and to introduce her to Jean-Claude.
That's what I thought it was.
As it didn't take it seriously.
We all thought it was that.
All of us were like, save it up, guys.
It's okay, we'll save it up.
I know.
And I learned that day.
I learned.
I don't like showing off cool NPCs that much.
And like even though Delmyra deserved it, it was a way to serve as it served as a reminder to Delmyra that Cecilia is still her baby sister.
I was literally like, fuck, if we all die, what do we do?
I know what to do.
He's got plans.
Because the campaign just can't end and that's the end of the show.
I know. Well, that's what that was also me, Emma, player going into full on panic because I was like, okay, so Blackguard, here we go.
This is I'll tell I'll tell I'll tell I'll go ahead and tell everyone that everyone in a known secret and what will happen if a character dies.
I'll talk with the person.
If they want to continue playing the character, we will have an honest discussion and we will find a way.
What if all of us died, though?
Because that was we'll find a way.
We will find a way.
That's what we do here.
Creative Solutions will find a way.
Yeah, I find a way.
Yeah, exactly.
I was literally like, okay, I my backup character needs to be connected to the moon shards.
I need them to protect Cecilia in the moon shards, even though they don't know her.
We'll make it work.
And the encounters were hard.
But for what I've learned is that my players just always endeavor.
And somehow it doesn't make it harder.
And somehow somebody always come out on top.
Again, I've been waiting for like that, like that, that nobody's ever died that one day it's going to freaking backfire.
And you're going to be so upset.
The number 26 has come on.
I'll come up a lot during the session.
And the fact that JT rolled to net 20s was just like, oh, that is amazing.
I honestly think that in the seven or so years I've been playing D&D, both in person and with you guys,
that that doubled the number of combat D20s or combat net 20s I've ever rolled.
And that's including both of them.
I'll roll the net 20 when it's like role play, but combat?
No, my combat rolls aren't good.
They never are. It came in now of all times, one in 400 chance.
Ben and Lee mulligan, 20, 22, whatever you set that in.
Oh, God. Well, everyone, Merry Christmas.
Happy holiday. Next session.
Merry Christmas. Happy holidays. Next session.
We plan and put a stop to the endless night.
Yay. I'm going to kill every sharp worshiper there is.
Next time can't be worse. There's a lot of us.
There's still a Venator. The Venator is still there, guys.
Honestly, I'll take him. I don't care.
Yeah, at this point. Let's fucking go.
Come at me, scrub lord. I'm ripped.
Fucking roll, my man.
Hey, but you know what?
Something interesting in John Claude has changed a little bit.
Maybe that change becomes stronger.
So we'll see. That's that's that's not it.
That's a slight change.
We'll see how the Venator reacts to that.
He's going to want my life now.
With that said, thank you all so much for watching.
We'll see you all again next time.
Thank you for coming. Thank you. We appreciate you all.
Thank you. Have a good one.
Night, guys.
