And welcome to Songwoven Ira Brynn Dawnbreak.
Now, I know what you're thinking. Oh, oh my gosh.
Timmy's wearing the Hawaiian shirt. That means
he's telegraphing and he's doing something horrible
to the players. And to that I say, no, you're
wrong. I am, of course, your narrator, Tim Don
Tran, who does not lie. And of course, I am joined
by my three wonderful compatriots. Starting first,
of course, will be the one to my top on the Discord
overlay, which I don't think is synced up for
everyone. No, yeah, who's first? Jenny. Oh, hi,
I'm Jenny. And I play Valora, and I am dog -sitting,
and I will have to be right back soon, but don't
mind anything. Thumbs up! And, of course, we
are also joined by the ever -illustrious Albert!
Hi. It's me. And then, at last, last, but certainly
not least, Emma. That's right to our pod heads,
which I am now calling people who listen on the
pod. Our pod heads can see is that our Emma Ramosco
isn't currently with us. What are you talking
about? I'm right here. Oh, hey, Emma. Wow. No,
no, don't worry. I'm here, Tim. Emma, you sound
hoarse and ragged. You must be putting in the
hard work. Oh, well, you know, just, you know,
I'm a hard worker. Everyone should go watch my
demo reels. I do a lot of VA work, you know.
Power to the actors. She does. She does do a
lot of VA work, people. And people, she has.
I'm going to go on vocal rest, so I might not
talk much more for the rest of the show. So,
as you can see, it's a little bit different than
usual today, but hey, it's still going to be
fun. There's still things to do. Emma, we miss
you. Now, usually we would typically launch into...
We would do things and stuff and do extensive
little pieces of banter. But today we have made
a decision. It was a decision by the courts here
that we won't do it today. So now we're going
to jump straight into the recap. Albert is preparing.
I'm going to let the audience know that if you
want our bits back, the way you can do that is
going to enpublishing .com and using our promo

delayed enough. All right, so recap. All right.
So last time on Songwoven, we opened up... We
opened up Lucia and Valora headed off to the...
Well, they met up with Cole. Velour returned,
met up with Cole and Lucia so they could, after
the Melody heist, they kind of reconvened, did
a little bit of kind of discussed what each side
had found a little bit. We found out that Robin
just like broke into Melody's room and just destroyed
everything just out of nowhere. It was crazy.
And then Cole just like felt he had a little
heartburn or something. I don't know. So he needed
to go get cleaned up. He gets covered in perfume.
So he just needed to go, you know, get washed
up. And Valora and Lucia decided that they were
going to head to the Valora headed to the vigil.
Lucia was going to go home that she ran into
Archie who convinced her to come with him to
go to the vigil for the blue lions. They met
up in the woods. And they are the blue, the blue
wolves, the blue wolves. Look, it's blue. It
was blue lions that night because they were working
together. But they had their vigil where the
students of the blue wolves came together and
sang like a song, like a historical song in this,
like, I think like elvish, like ancient, not
ancient, but like older. The local dialect of
Elvish. Yeah, that of Elvish, where they sang
this song kind of to help kind of rally each
other and tell each other they were going to
kind of get through this. And Lucia, unfortunately,
had a terrible vision that eventually that song
was going to fade away on the wind, that it would
be. plucked from the weaving of, uh, it would
no longer be woven into song. It would, it would
be gone. Um, there'd be no one, no one left to
sing it. Um, and Valora had to like help her
get through that little, uh, existential crisis.
Um, Lucia then, uh, went to, uh, after the vigil,
went to go meet up with, uh, Aurier, um, Aurier
Vorluane. the head inquisitor for the ministry
and at the church kind of up there on the hill
and Aurier fucking put her into the sleep like
the under zone to go do something to her. We
don't know. Probably wipe her memories some more
or something. We don't know. Valora, knowing
that she was going to go there and feeling like
something was off, came to get Cole to go meet
up with that. Flashback. Cole went to go meet
with an individual known as Kier, which we learned
was the woman who worked at the little picnic
basket. kind of shop uh that uh we had that had
featured in a previous episode um turns out that
here is also a vanisher and uh they had new uh
a new directive from their director whoever that
is um uh they found out that uh they had a new
mission they needed to kill avanya everestra
who was the drow woman who wanted to kidnap Lucia
that we had run into when we were down in Glode,
the underground part of the school. Kier and
Cole kind of discussed the mission a little bit
for a little while before they had to kind of
split off because Valor had come to come get
Cole and Cole had to, you know, kind of keep
up that. That lie. So he had to go with her.
And told Kier. Stay right here. Don't move. Don't
act without me. Keep that in mind people. So
Valora and Cole. Went to the chapel. To go find
Lucia. When they got there. They snuck in. They
did a little looking around. No sign of Lucia.
No sign of Aurier. As if they were never there.
There's just nothing at all. Running theory,
they probably like teleported away or something.
We're not sure. But as we were doing our investigating,
Cole got another bit of like indigestion. He
had to kind of take a moment to himself where
he found out that Kier did something and needed
help. Something changed. So Cole suggested they
split up to investigate the church and then dipped.
Valora kept searching around and ended up running
into the individual. From the other night, I
have the name... The one who... I think it's
the head of the consortium, I think. Or is high
up in the consortium at the very least. One of
the dudes. Magister. Yeah, one of the Magisters.
I have it written down. I can't find his name.
It starts with an S, I think. No. No. One second,
one second. This would be... Leo Ferenc Silver.
Who is it? Leo Ferenc Silver. Leo Ferenc Silver.
Oh, it's a previous session. Oh, yes, Silver.
Okay. Wait, no, it wouldn't be... Is it Silver?
I thought Silver was the guy who had the... The
acid splash on his face. At the moment, shit.
It was someone else. I think it was someone else,
right? Seliver was the one who got that was running
around in the cloak on the night that Arnalda
tragically passed. That's his name? Seliver,
yeah. I have Seliver and Delon who were like
a pair that were running around chasing people.
That one is Seliver. Because it was a man. That
one is celibate. Okay. Got it. And you're right.
He was one who was celibate. Got it. Okay. So
she ran into him, and he just oddly, he was just
praying for a very long time silently, and he
just had some weird senses. My bad. The person.
Okay. Sorry. Solanasi? Solanasi. Solanasi. I
thought you said consortium, so my mind went
to consortium. That's what I thought, too. Solanasi.
Yes. Oh, he's not with... Okay, you're right.
He's not with the consortium. Yeah, they are
a part of the... I was mixing those up. Yeah,
the... Their ministry. Ministry. They're part
of the ministry. Okay. But he's weird. He, like,
senses things. Valora got the fuck out of there.
And cut back to Cole. We find out... We go back
to the entrance to that kind of, like, hidden
underground section. where we found Galode, which
was that underground part of the school. We get
there. There's a member, I believe, of the consortium
who's knocked the fuck out. That's Seliver. That's
Seliver. That's Seliver. Oh, great. Cool, cool,
cool. I steal all his shit. I steal all his shit
and, like, stuff him in a barrel or something.
We sneak down. I get another message from Keir.
She's like, oh, it can sense body heat, so be
quiet or something like that. It's really cold
down here. Something's really up. There's a whole
bunch of dead bodies in here from people who
were down in Galode, the underground people.
It turns out the Shadowguard is down here. Whatever
that is, there's something tied to Valora's dad.
thing um that apparently has been getting fed
or has been given he that uh velour's dad been
giving people to or something like that down
here we don't know much about it yet um but we're
sneaking down find out here just a reminder was
told to not act without me just stay still don't
go do anything critically important anyway Turns
out she came down here for some reason. We don't
know why. But I walk in and sneak up and find
Eric Avanlea, Valora's father, currently... Standing
in front of Avania Evarestra, my most recent
mark, the drow woman who wanted to kill Lucia.
And she is being held aloft by some entity of
shadowy scariness, right? And Eric says, just
kill her. Just get rid of her. So she is kind
of smashed to bits. We love it. So job done.
But turns out Cure's in here. The Shadow Things
finds Cure and Cole has to fucking has to deal
with this issue because we can't let her die.
Probably could have, but I probably shouldn't.
You know, probably be bad. I throw a knife at
Eric. He goes, oh, good heavens, and runs away.
I do, like, minimal damage, and he runs the fuck
away. Jenny pointed out, everyone criticized
Eric for getting... So this is the situation,
from Eric's perspective. Just as a person, you
get hit with a knife from an unseen attacker.
What would be your first instinct is to run and
go to cover, right? Well, I'm pretty sure he
just ran away. He didn't even just go to cover,
right? He went to cover. He booked it? Yeah,
he booked it with to cover. Okay, so he might
still be vaguely nearby. Yeah, vaguely. Okay,
all right. I would describe it, he went behind
a wall. okay got it got it got it okay and then
uh now here and apparently this shadowy thing
is able to see into the nebulous sea which for
those of you who don't know that is the kind
of like middle kind of overlapping plane kind
of like the ethereal um between planes where
the vanishers are able to do a lot of their shit
it's able to see and interact with that plane
while also on this plane which is really scary
really that's not good uh this is real bad uh
so anyway that's that's what happened here better
lock the fuck in because now we have to kill
this thing uh because this is some weird terrifying
nightmare creature of shadow and eyes And also,
it's talking into my head or something. I don't
know what it's doing. It's not pleasant. Whatever
it's happening. Stop. Stop. Stop. Timmy just
dropping more things of it talking in the chat
on Roll20. Okay. Anyway, that's what happened.
That's what happened. I didn't even look at my
notes for any of that. Did I get that right?
sounded good what i heard yeah oh yeah it turned
into i missed one thing it turned into the big
big shadowy thing turned into a big shadowy like
huge like knight looking creature and picked
up a body and like flayed it and turned the body
into a sword which is really not pleasant oh
it also has giant stag antlers yes and covered
in armor okay that's that's what i got All right.
Thank you so much, Albert. Very, very goodly
informative, which will all lead us into our
next section. Is everyone ready for some A5E
Advanced 5th Edition, which you can get on enpublishingrpg
.com. Heck yeah. We first start off with Valora.
Now, give me a reminder real quick. Valora, are
you still within the church? You went deeper
into the church to try and go to the, to try
and go to the, oh gosh, Lucia's goddess's location.
Idun's location, right? Yeah, I went deeper,
didn't find anything at the Shrine of Idun, and
Yeah, she continues looking for any signs of
anything else, but being careful to try to meet
back where she said she'd meet back with Cole
at the time. As the hour changes. As we're still
a bit young into that time, into that hour, and
you continue to silently, under the effects of
Pass Without Trace, continuously move throughout.
I will say that nothing strikes you. Nothing
strikes you outwardly. As you're just continuing
to look and it's just frustrating because it's
like there's absolutely nothing that could point
to where Lucy has been or if anybody has been
here fairly recently. I will say as you're maneuvering
about keeping yourself well hidden. Another pair
of footsteps, very soft and silent, undetectable
by echoes, continues to prowl throughout the
insides of the church. Solanasi, now with prying
eyes, even though you have been stealthy, you
have been very quiet. There was something earlier
when you got close enough to Solanasi that it
seemed like they had thought something was the
matter. Despite this, Solanasi walks into the
general area, not looking towards your direction
in particular, with these wide, more curious
eyes more than anything. Not, like, entirely
focused. Just looks around. Just goes, Hello?
Is anyone there? They remain quiet for a moment,
standing still, hands folded together. And you
see that they just close their eyes. They bring
their hands together and they begin muttering
something. And you watch as divination starts
to crawl up to their fingertips. In that moment,
unsure of what they're casting, you hear, in
the distance, a bark. Inside the church, it carries
the echo, the reverberation, and immediately
they are snapped out of the stupor. And then
immediately, another bark. You can see it in
like sort of like the glow of the of the marble
grounds That there is some kind of small creature
in the other room over that you have you don't
have direct line side of it running in circles
and rolling around Solanasi makes a face at that
and immediately breaks your concentration and
Then they just go oh there it is A dog within
the church. They just let out a sigh and walk
off. As they walk off, you hear Solanasi go,
And what are you doing here, little one? And
almost as if it understands them, it barks in
response. I don't want to be near Solanasi. I'll
take the opportunity. You watch as the small
gray Pomeranian runs over to a table that sits
adjacent to the door that goes towards the courtyard
area. And it just sniffs the rug. probably looking
for somewhere to pee. And then Solanasi goes,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And like hurries
over as the Pomeranian paws at the rug and moves
it slightly. Solanasi quickly swoops it up, lifts
it up and kind of goes, all right, off we go.
Come on. And hurries off towards the front door.
Leaving you alone. It's not unusual that they
were praying in front of the statue to Odin.
That's totally normal, but... While I have the
opportunity, I want to get a better look at that
area if I feel it's safe to. But I'm still going
to be trying to do it kind of quickly. So I can
get out when I need to. Has your head touched
the Odin area? So, the Allfather encompasses,
um, where the main, sort of, where the main area
is encompassed by a world, uh, by a, uh, depiction
of, like, a huge statue of the World Tree. Odin,
uh, multiple depictions of Odin are, uh, documented,
but you go up to the main, uh, Allfather statue.
Um, and I'll say, as you're looking about...
Of course, many things of incense and things
are left behind from earlier prayers. It is the
most prayed to. You take notice of the area close
by where the Pomeranian was pawing at the rug,
and you see it has moved the rug slightly. I'm
telling you this because there is an immediate
little bead of interest there. Because the slight
inch that it has moved, you see that there is
a... There is sort of like something different
from like the marble, like the flawless sort
of like speckled marble of the rest of the church.
Of course there's a trapdoor. That's where she'll
go investigate then further. As you kind of like
lift up the carpet a little bit, not a trapdoor,
but instead black markings. And as you lift it
up further, there is a slight scorch mark on
the markings. It seems you see before you a sigil
that you as a noble and you definitely as a Aventlaya
noble, you know what the symbol is. A symbol
of teleportation. This one is written in shorthand.
So it is meant for... So you know that it's meant
for one use. And it's small. So it's used for
personal travel. And do I have any way of telling
if it was recent? With any of my little arcane
knowledge that my dad tried to put into me. Give
me an arcana check with advantage. So normal.
As a car drives by. A loud horse revs its engine.
It will be normal because I have disadvantage
on all mental checks right now. Yes. Seven. Your
dad was really bad at teaching you, you think?
He sucked. Anyways. I guess she's gonna lean
on she thinks it was recent because if it's for
one use, why would they just hide it under a
rug? Though, at the same time, who would be there
to cover it with the rug? Solanasi. But, eh,
I don't know. That's... That's her brain. Is
there anything else unusual in the room? Or any
signs of Lucia being here? Go ahead and give
me a investigation check. Okay. Using your intelligence.
Disadvantage... Four. You're tired. Trying to
get through the inner miasma that's clouding
your mind, it's almost frustrating how there's
nothing being yielded to you. You don't see anything
too different. And it makes sense that this place
does get a lot of foot traffic. So trying to
look for anything Lucia -related, nothing's clicking
for you. Okay. Um... Now, if she's not seeing
anything else... Then... She... Needs to plan...
How to get out. So... I'll just... I'll just
straight up... You can try the pathway that you
got in going out towards the top and try to sneak
your way out from there. Go ahead and give me
a stealth check. Disadvantage. Oh, no, no, that's
normal. Yeah, normal. Because it's dex. Let's
see. 22. All right. And this is where the DM
ominously rolls to himself. Order one. Immediately.
Fucking immediately. I can't even. Okay. That's
what you get, Tim, for being dramatic. What?
I'm a narrator. I have to be dramatic. So you
find yourself walking away. As soon as you put
feet on the stairs, you hear the front door open.
So you immediately, like, you booked it a little
bit. As you see, Solanasi returns into the main
building and closes the door behind them. But
you're gone. You're not focused. You got to get
out of there. You... You get on top of the rooftop,
and you can visibly see one of the guards, one
of the people in robes, kind of like fidgeting
to themselves. And they're just kind of like
humming a tune to themselves. But they're distracted.
They are very, very distracted by whatever is
going on in their mind. Melody Fidelity's new
hit single. Bed on it, bed on it. Bed on me,
bed on me, bed on me. As you, as you funnel your
way down, thankfully this person was so distracted
that even when, even when you were climbing down
like a drain pipe and like something like ding,
like there's like a little metal noise, they're
really into what they're hearing right now. Probably
something they heard in theater. As you. Land
deftly. And walk away. As you are making your
way towards... As you're making your way towards
Phantom, who I think is parked a good distance
away. You didn't put him back in the stables
yet, right? I was going to say that I sent him
there, but... No problem. To fly back. Yeah,
no problem. But if not... That would be more
convenient. I remember it was all I was getting
ready to say last time. I was like, oh, we can
just assume. Yeah, that's what we usually do.
But Valor would have set the back right. Would
have. Yeah. Okay. But I'm trying to meet with...
I'm waiting to meet with Cole. Unless we... We
didn't say where we were going to meet. Maybe
we meant to meet by... The... The graveyard,
I believe, is what we said. Oh, okay. As you
make your ways away, ready to go to wherever
Cole is, you hear a bark. As a gray Pomeranian,
sort of like, you feel like it ambushes you as
it makes its way up to you, tongue hanging, looking
really happy. What do you want? It sits. It looks
really cute if only you didn't know what it represented.
And it runs in a circle. You can tell me now,
you know. It looks at you with these big eyes
like it doesn't understand what you're saying.
Yeah, sure. Tilt's head. What? It kind of like
looks at you for a moment before it just kind
of like sniffs the ground. It's doing what dogs
do. As anyone walking by would see Valora is
just annoyed with the dog. Is there anything
weird about the ground? No, it's just sniffing.
It's just doing what dogs do. Um... And then
you just... Uh, it goes over to a bush and relieves
itself for a moment. Uh... And as it does, you
hear, uh, Velora? From the side. She looks. And
you see Tamsin. Hands together. Kind of like
a little weary... Kind of like... A worried look
on her face. You doing alright? Is that your
dog? Wait, so you can... Do this too? No. Oh
my gosh. Sorry, you seem really tired. I just
wanted to check on you. The dog... Yeah, I'm
fine. The dog sees Tamsin. And you see... Like,
it visibly shrinks. Like, scared and timid. And
it starts, like, walking down the steps. And
then Tamsin just goes... Yeah, I do have that
effect on them. i thought that was you no um
sorry if i'm making this awkward i can leave
you alone yeah i'm just waiting for someone so
okay and then uh that You see the dog kind of
like scamper and kind of like goes into a bush.
Samson just kind of like backs up and goes, I'll
give you some space. I'm sorry. Again. And walks
off. And as you continue your way to the meeting
point, you hear that bark once more. As that
dog comes out of the bush, of the bushworks once
more. And just doesn't go up to you, but just
rushes down the steps. I'm still not convinced
it's a real dog. I'm still not convinced because
Tamsin has been lying to me. And hiding things
from me, so... Name the last time. Everything.
Be more specific. So. You make your way to the
meeting point, which I believe was in front of
the bungalow? Of the... Graveyard. Of the graveyard.
Got it. Yeah, not too far from the thing. Only
if the graveyard is publicly accessible still.
It is. Okay. You make your way there to a fair
appointment of individuals. And as you do, and
as you are there, go ahead and give me a perception
check with disadvantage. Disadvantage. 12. Double
12s. Not bad. So, being here in the moment, a
solemn affair, cool night out, but so dreadfully
tired and having so many questions, you do spot
someone here. uh an individual that you thought
you had um that you that you thought you had
a fuck me sorry my mind is currently going in
circles uh that's so much you spotted you spotted
individual as they stand up uh fully and uh during
theirs they are they have just placed fresh flowers
um on a few graves you see sir palavi your night
oh rudra regards you she just goes oh hi she
got a bit of a break then yeah happens every
so often this place is nice and quiet and it's
good to pay respects yeah Do you know them? No.
They're just recent. Just some... recent passings.
Just thought I should... put flowers on the ones
that don't have one. That's nice. You don't think
it's disrespectful, right? If I don't know them?
No. Of course not. I don't know. Something irks
me about the noble ones having fancy nameplates
and more flowers than the ones that obviously
belong to commoners. Yeah, me too. That's how
everything is here, isn't it? Hmm. So, what brings
you out here, Squirt? I was just... I'm supposed
to be meeting with someone. This was just the
good midway point. Oh. And you don't want me
to embarrass you? It's nothing like that. You
have the tone of, I'm meeting with someone, I
don't want any adults to be here. That means
you, Rudra. What gives you that idea? It's fine.
You can meet him. Good. Maybe I will. Okay. If
your father knew... She looks around. Go ahead.
I was like, she looks around to see if anyone
else is around close. There are other people
here, yes. No one you recognize. She just goes,
if your father knew that you're out having a
late night rendezvous. Oh my god, it's nothing
like that. Saving a lot to the imagination. You
know, you're following in my footsteps more than
anything. These are your footsteps? Yeah. You
have midnight rendezvous in graveyards? Or whatever
you think I'm doing? I mean, whatever place works,
usually with me. Oh my gosh. She kind of gestured
Rudra a little bit away from other people. You
can find a place to just be with each other.
She just pulls her away a little bit. Okay, if
I tell you, I really, really need you to not
tell anyone. Okay. Especially not my dad, but
that's an obvious. You can trust me. I'm worried
about Lucia. She was supposed to meet. Aurier
in the church. And I get there. And the church
is all under lockdown. And my friend and I snuck
in. And. There's like no sign of anyone in there.
Except for that. Solanasi person who's always
around Aurier. And. I don't know. We split up
to look. And so. They're supposed to come here
when the hour changes. But. I don't know where
she's at, if they got turned away and went somewhere
else, or if there's... We were going specifically
to keep an eye on her and make sure everything
goes okay. But I... I don't know where she is.
Do you know anything that she might be wearing?
She still had the uniform on. I feel like it's
a bit too general. Anything, like, specific?
Um, I mean, you know she always has that bandana.
Yeah. Um... I was thinking that maybe we could
get someone who could do locate on anything.
I... I don't know if we can. Because... The person
I'm worried about is Aurier. Well, I don't like
her. Then that tells me my instinct's right,
too. I don't know. Things were really weird last
night. I want you to know I am acting only on
guts. But you know my gut's usually right. I
do. Have a good phantom. That was our next plan
if we couldn't find anything in the church. Let's
go get Phantom and try to track her down. It's
not exactly discreet, though. Tell me, Valora.
Is there anything you want me to do? I'm off.
Basically at the end. Basically, as soon as the
sun sets. Your father goes into his office and
doesn't allow me in there. Or he's doing some
kind of business that he tells me that I can't
be around for. Do you have any idea what any
of that's all about? Curious, but... A knight
respects. Is expected to respect boundaries.
I'm worried about him, too. He usually stalks
off to do his own thing wherever in his office.
But... Something was really weird last night.
And... I don't know, like... There's, like, things
that just, like, aren't adding up. And he was
in the faculty building with all these, like...
There were, like, these people with, like, robes
and stuff going around, and he arcane locked
the door, and then Orie was really trying to
rush me back into my room. Hmm. I don't know.
I don't know what he's doing. Okay. Can I offer
some... just some working advice for the moment?
Yeah? You look like you're working yourself pretty
hard on this. I get it. I would be too. But right
now, it seems like what your body needs is to
slow down a little bit. Yeah, and I'm slowing
down pretty good just standing here waiting.
when I want to just be going and looking for
her. Another thing I want to say is that a lot
of people that you have an interest in right
now, pretty high -ranking people with a lot of
push and pull in a lot of places, you are too.
But I'd still advise... Just to keep your head
down. I know. I just... I just... And I'm being
careful. I know you are. I just... I just can't
leave Lucio right now. And it's not like it's
weird for me to be looking for her. I can make
up any number of reasons why. I... You know,
I've been training Phantom to... try to find
her, like, how he can do with, like, you or anyone
back home. Hmm. It makes sense. Though, I don't
think I can do it discreetly with Phantom. Um...
But, like, if we find her, I don't know what
then. And maybe everything's fine, but, like,
I just, I don't know. You might not like this,
but legitimately, Your father is good at locating
missing people. And it would be in his interest
to ensure that she's around. Sure, but like,
I don't want to tell him that I think I'm worried
about her when right now he doesn't think I know
anything. It seems like he might be connected
to if there is anything too. He's someone who
I actually could get suspicious about it by asking
for his help. I mean, was he like in his office
or something? No. Last time I saw him, he was
making his way down the steps. And then you hear...
Irobrin's large bell ringing in the distance.
You clock the time. It is not at a segment of
time where the bell would usually ring. It is
like some hour 34, which is a weird time to ring
the bell. What does that mean? I don't know.
Just never heard it like that before. It's not
like a signal for anything? No. Usually they
have a test. They have a test rhythm, but that's
not it. I don't know. I'm just getting... I'm
getting anxious. I... Maybe I should just leave
a message for Cole and I can go pick up Phantom
at least and start figuring out where she's at.
It's too long to wait if something's happened
and neither of us found her. What do you want?
Do you want me to come with you? If you want
to. What should I do? He's smart. How could I
even use something for him if he... She goes
through her bag, which has a bomb in it still.
Explain that. Not right now. Later. It's stupid.
Oh, he'll notice this for sure, and he pulls
out the melody blanket. She pulls out the melody
blanket and she goes to the entrance of the graveyard
and, like, ties it in a nice bow around, like,
an entrance, but trying to not be disrespectful,
you know, just, like, try to make it look nice.
As you do that, she just goes, What the hell
are you doing? I'll tell you later, I promise.
I just... Here, um, and she goes and grabs a
paper. Here, how about you let me hold on to
this? Points towards the bomb. Oh, duh. No, no,
no, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine. It's in
my bag, secure. I mean, where are you gonna put
it? Valora, I want you to look at this from my
perspective. Okay. You have bags under your eyes.
You seem like you've been up for a while. You
are running on fumes. It's not that bad. Melody
Fidelity, okay? Melody Fidelity, does that explain?
No, that doesn't explain anything. Okay, you
don't know Melody Fidelity. I'm still talking.
Okay, sorry. Do you have a bomb? I do. You look
like you're trying to find a way out of this.
No, that was... I'm not. I'm trying to tell you.
I'm trying to tell you as fast as I can. Melody
Fidelity is insane. We went on a ride with Phantom,
and she tried to take this bomb and throw it,
and I distracted her, and I put it in my bag
so that she wouldn't do that. I just want you
to know that I've been serving your family longer
than you have been alive, and never once have
I seen any of your family members next to a bomb.
nonetheless in possession of one. Well, now you
have. Now you have. I have confidence. Also,
okay, while you're judging me here, she goes
and reaches in and pulls out the bullets and
drops them in her hand and then keeps writing
her note to Cole saying, I went to go get Phantom.
I'm worried about her because he'll know who
I'm talking about. Rudra. I'll find you. Pulls
out a little knife. And just kind of reaches
for the fuse on the bomb and just kind of goes
to cut it, just looking at you. No, no, no. If
she's bringing bombs to the Melody Bowl, I think
Lucia should have at least one. It could be useful.
You're involved in that? You're involved in the
Melody Bowl? Apparently. What have you been doing?
It's more like what Lucia's been doing, and I'm
just trying to help Lucia. You go out of my supervision
for two seconds, and then all of a sudden you're
involved in a sporting event? I don't know if
I'd call it that. And you have a melody blanket,
too. Hmm. She gave it to me. Ugh, okay. it's
not even soft like like look it's really nice
underneath but then there's all these sequins
on top okay um she tucks the note into the bow
for cole and she goes all right so we can have
phantom try to snip out lucia we could try to
grab my dad but i worry that's too suspicious
Just trust your judgment. Let's just get a move
on. I'll be holding onto this in my bag. Because
I should be confiscating this from any student
I see anyways. If Melody Fidelity made it, can
it really be that bad? It's probably just, like,
bomb -shaped. Again, look things from my perspective.
All I know about Melody Fidelity is - Okay, fine!
Alright, you're getting it. You got it now. Okay,
but I want it back later. Unless you go through
Melody's room and confiscate everything. I might
have to. That would not be a bad idea, honestly.
Okay. Let's go get Phantom. As you make your
ways off towards the... To the flying stables.
Again, the bell rings. A deep one. He continues
to walk, but you see that she does make a face
at that. Like, it's strange. Other people on
campus are like, what is that? You can see that
there's a visible confusion. It's so late at
night, too. she can't make sense she feels like
everything has it's all weird it has to be connected
but she's not making any sense of it and she's
like trying to put together what it could mean
but nothing's connecting in the brain right now
maybe someone's just up there like playing with
the bell maybe someone's up there erasing lucia's
memory i don't know as you make your ways hit
the spell As you make your ways there, you do
spot among the confused individuals, like, listen
to the bell. You hear, you see Reinwald carrying
a wrapped set, like, a fresh uniform under his
arm. Listen to it. He just goes, do you know
what that means? To another person. And the person
just shrugs. Okay, she won't... She tries to
decide if she should try to avoid Reinwald at
first because he'll probably ask, hey, where's
Cole? And I'll be like, oh, you know, we split
up. But she decides to just act normal and just
keep pace for Phantom. So you act normal? Yeah.
Okay, you're going behind him, so he's not going
to... I would say he won't spot you normally.
Okay. As he continues to walk, he just goes,
I have half a mind to check what's going on over
there. Maybe someone got into the... Maybe a
student got into the bell. Well, if you think
you need to... No, it's fine. Someone else is
going to check it. And then the bell rings again.
And repeatedly this time. Deep sounds that fold
over the top of each other. Isn't that what it
means for like attack or something? Maybe I should
check. Can you bring me over on Phantom? Do you
want me to fly you up? Yeah. Yeah. Ah, okay.
Okay. And as you do that, you get on top of Phantom,
uh, Ruja also does, and you begin to fly towards
the direction. I will say as you're looking downwards,
you do see something. Uh, something catches your
eye immediately. You spot the figure of Reinwald
once more. But this time, he seems to be following
a Pomeranian. Tamsin! Tamsin! That's not me!
It is! Now we go over to Coel. Oh. The night
roars. Roll initiative. Alright. Can Cure please
roll initiative, please? Oh, yeah. Oh, I think
we need tokens. For the tracker. Oh, give me
one second. Eighteen. Double call. That is not
right. One second. Okay. Okay. Let's see. I also
have it written down on the side just to help
us out. Give us some time as we set everything
up. Natural one initiative. Good, good, good.
That must be Eric. I'm kidding. Eric wouldn't
have plus four initiative. He too slow. If Eric
didn't leave this fight, he's going down. I'm
just saying. If he didn't leave... Eric doesn't
want to be an initiative. He might want to go
like, ah, little spell. He cast a spell. I'm
stabbing him. Magic missile. Minor illusion.
Minor illusion. A chance. Minor illusion, ha,
it's me, Eric. But good, a good dad. Kier, get
the wizard. Forget the knight, get the wizard.
In this place of pitch black, you see that this
shadowy knight figure just holds this bone weapons
to its side as you see frost and shadow begin
to creep up on it. And it just kind of holds
it to the side, holds a hand out, and bows its
head, looking towards you. It seems focused on
you specifically at this moment. I don't like
that. Okay. Up first is Kier. Okay, I don't know
what she does. I didn't look at the sheet very
much. Let's see. Oh, she could throw a brick.
No, I'm kidding. Okay. Um, so she's not hidden
or anything like that right now, right? At this
moment, no. I'm not next to it. You're not next
to it. I'm, like, in the doorway. Okay. So...
She... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait. Yeah, moving, moving, cutting action to
aim. Um... How far away from it is she? Five
feet. Right next to it. Oh, she's already in
melee? Yes. Okay. You can use cutting action
to aim, getting advantage on your next attack
while you make, but reduce your speed to zero.
Okay. I'm going to use aim to get advantage.
Yes. So that I can get sneak attack. Absolutely.
And stab with the knife. Make the knife. 26.
That hits. Oh, and... Wait, wait, wait. Let me
double check something. Um... Oh, to see if you
can make it a crit. That's a 16 on your die.
I don't think I can. Yeah. She crits on a 19.
16 on the die. She does crit on a 19? Yes. Um...
Go for it. Oh, wait. She can already... She can
already get advantage without doing angles per
round. Any war -bonded creature can turn any
ability check, attack roll, or damage roll. Oh,
make it into the average number. I read that
as advantage because I was scrolling too fast.
All right, so I'll use consummate professional
to crit then because it'll make it to a 19. Absolutely.
All right. We're doing max and then you roll
on top of it. Okay, there's... The base damage,
which was already max, so 11 plus 4. And then
it's 15. Then the big dice, the sneak attack,
which she got 14 plus 8 times 4 plus 32, right?
So 32, yes. That's what 8 times 4 is? Yes. You
got it. So a lot of numbers. So 15 plus 52. So
67 points of damage off the top. Uh, she's locked
in. She's locked in. Um... You watch immediately...
You watch immediately, Ikor, as it's focused
on you. Here, leaps up and drives the dagger
deep into the back of the knight's head. It pierces
through. Ikor... Some kind of, like, ikor, like...
Like, kind of, like, bluish ikor spills out the
back. This thing that you thought was made out
of shadow, it's bleeding. And you see its form
kind of like very visibly reverberates. There's
like feedback to it. As it just, it lets out
a little to the sound. She just had like, that
was like the most perfect hook hit that you could
get. Probably. But she's not going to move or
do anything defensive. She does have velocity
if she wants to do a second strike. Oh. It won't
have sneak attack though, right? Yes. And it
won't get advantage. It couldn't sneak attack,
but it is just an extra attack. Sure. We'll do
velocity because why not? That's the only thing
it can be used for? Yes. It's because it turns
it into an extra attack. Then we may as well
just do that. Oh, better just get this. 25. 25
hits. 11 piercing. She did max again. Juicy.
Kira's locking the fuck in. Good. You asked.
I did ask. She says, I'll even take the hits
for you up here up front. I'll also give you
sneak attack by standing here. As a reaction.
Two spikes form out of the air and two of them
go towards Kira. Bad. 20 and 19 to hit. She only
has an AC of 18. She does. She is using two knives,
right? Yes. So she could parry twice. Are these...
Wait. Are these melee attacks or these ranged?
These are ranged. These are ranged. Oh, so it's
going to be a disadvantage then. Because she's
next. It doesn't have disadvantage for this one
specifically. So she can't parry. Never mind.
She can't parry then. So she takes six necrotic
damage. This reduces the maximum. Yeah. So can't
heal up past it. You want to see spikes kind
of like. embed themselves into her. The knight
isn't looking towards the way. It's like he raises
a hand and, like, as if by command, something
rises out and without even him, like, aiming
or aiming any attention towards her, both spikes
strike into her. Boy. All right. I believe that's
Kier's turn. Yeah. All right. Cole, you're up.
All right. So seeing her go to engage this, I
am going to kind of rush kind of past and around
it to flank with her. And if she is on the back,
I guess I will rush up to it since it maybe has
a little bit of tension turned towards her. And
I'm also going to run and go to try to basically
just like kind of stab it, like do like a jump
and stab it into the gut. You know what? Let's
go ahead and use a bonus action. This is going
to be with my... I'm going to have a kinglet
knife and just one of my dueling daggers, my
regular dueling daggers and thing. I'm going
to use a bonus action to activate the storage
property on it, which will cause this kind of
thick Icarus poison to drip down the blade for
this strike. So... I'm not doing this yet, but
I'm just putting it here so that I remember it.
Okay, this is a 25 to hit. That hits. Okay. I'm
going to be making two attacks. No, it's fine.
So this is going to have the wyvern poison on
it. So that's going to be... Seven piercing.
Did the psychic damage I did before, did that
seem to do anything? When I did psychic damage
to it? I will suggest in general, it did look
like it affected, but it just barely reacted
to your attack in the first place. Okay, got
it. All right. So, yes, that's seven plus...
Oh, it needs to make a con save for the poison.
Okay. This is Wyvern Poison. 13. For Wyvern Poison,
it is 15. Okay. It takes damage. Okay, cool.
So that's going to take a total of 42 piercing
and poison damage. Nice. And that was with a
plus 10 con save. Oh, my gosh. Oh, okay. Oh,
these are also... I'm making this... dangerous
strikes so because I'm not hurt at all so this
is a dangerous strikes so that would be oh wait
if I'm dangerous strikes my my crit range is
18 if Kira wants to just help me out and crit
we could just both crit Um, yeah, I can do the
consummate professional thing two more times
and it's not a reaction. So. Okay. So that would
be a crit then. Uh, so it's, it's that plus another,
uh, max. What was that total? So slash are 42
plus, um, 18 plus 6 is plus another 24. Plus
another 4 from the dagger. Plus... I guess the
poison would crit as well? Yes. Any damage involved
with it. Nice. Okay. So that comes to 112 damage
total. Woo! Without a tank. People are locked
in. Oh, boy. So if you got here struck true,
when you come in as your blade cleaves right
through, your kinglet vanishing knife cleaves
right through. This one isn't the kinglet, so
it's not magical. Oh, that's right. If that matters.
If that matters. Okay. So I will do. Oh, geez.
Let's just say that the piercing damage. this
sneak attack so I can make it psychic damage.
So the sneak attack damage is psychic. If that
matters at all. Um, yeah, that's sorry. Uh, Jenny,
go ahead. And now that his attack is concluded,
I'd like to use swooping bird. Okay. Oh my goodness.
What's going on? I opened up the lore sheet.
Just real quick. Just going back to Albert. So
you used a dueling dagger, right? Okay. Yes.
So it's, that's not magical. Okay. So damage
is psychic on the sneak attack. Yes. Gotcha.
But the piercing still goes through. So the piercing
would be seven plus four. The piercing would
be 11 of that. Gotcha. Gotcha. And the rest I'm
turning into psychic in hopes that that. But
that is fine. Okay. His form, it's like if you've
ever seen a sound wave format of a huge sound
that reverberates and it goes really wide for
a moment and then it comes back down. That's
what happens two -fold to what happens with Kier.
You feel like you hit something critical. One
of the eyes. Jenny, go ahead. Your reaction.
Okay. Yeah, I'm going to use Swooping Bird to
make an attack. And is it plus two from flanking?
Question mark? Yeah. Yes. Okay. All right. I
would like to step. And that is a natural 18.
So 30. Not a crit, though, because she crits
on 19. Unless I wanted to raise it, but that'd
be my last time. It is another sneak attack,
though. You're in charge, boss. Save it, I think,
to turn a... Yeah, save it for now. We might
need it for a saving throw or something. Yeah,
that's true. Okay. So... Base damage of 8, and
then... She gets another sneak attack because
it's a new round. And the sneak attack is 19.
So 27. 27. Okay. I could just Swooping Bird.
I could also do it, but I'm not going to because
I wouldn't get a sneak attack. True. Okay. We're
going to bully him. We just stand there. So,
hey, three stabs in. You have done a total of...
Let me do the quick math. You did a total of
217 points of damage. We're assassins. We can
do it. That's our job. As it takes all of that,
on this turn, you see that it's form... Oh, it's
still my turn. I'm going to use a point of velocity
to do another attack. Go ahead. That is going
to be a 25 to hit. This one is not, this one's
not sneak attack. So that's just another 10 piercing
damage. This one is magical because that's what
the kinglet knife. Yep. My bad. 227 points of
damage. Is that the end of your turn? Yeah, we
just. Yep. That's it. Two rogues, man. As its
form wanes, you see it literally begins to shudder.
This huge, imposing night that was once so scary,
it shook the caverns from earlier, from just
its roar, now weakened under the blows. It just
shudders. It almost seems weak. And you see that
as one singular black hole opens where its helmet
is. There is no voice for it. But, Koal, you
just seem to understand. This thing introduces
itself. It is known, designated. They are self
-introducing themselves as... The Mayor Knight.
And in case you're wondering, it's purposeful,
yes, that I'm doing this kind of... This style
of, like, talking. Because it doesn't have a
voice. It's not speaking to you. It's... There's
just some kind of telepathic understanding that
you're getting. It is honored to be facing an
opponent like you. The Mare Knight... The Mare
Knight sees you right now as a worthy opponent.
The Mare Knight is excited to have you in front
of him. The Mare Knight wishes to have your name.
Do you want to give it? No. Is this a mental
thing or is this a say it out loud thing? Like
a mental thing. You can choose to answer it.
You can choose to answer it. This is all happening
extremely fast. It's getting through my thing.
The mental communication. Yes. Oh, God. I think
I'm intimidated. It's supposed to be able to
do that. OK. I think my first thought. I think
Cole's first thought is like. He pauses and then
he's going to give it. A fake name. he'll know
probably probably will know well no the ring
is supposed to protect against like anyway uh
knowing if you're telling the truth the your
lies so um he's gonna give it a fake name um
the name he would give would be um honestly i
think the first name that pops up is Driscoll,
I think is the first name that pops up in his
head, and that's it. The Maronite wickedly smiles.
The Maronite knows what that name is. The Maronite
is disappointed. We will not do the Maronite's
turn. It uses Resolve Siphon, so... The Maronite
is going to undo all the damage that it's been
done in the past few moments, so it's going to
be back. Default, so 227 hit points is back.
It has 10 additional reactions. That's for the
rest of the encounter. It will now have 11 total
reactions. Because it takes the total amount
of damage and divides it by 10. And that will
be the amount of reactions that it can have for
the rest of the fight. So now it has 11 total
reactions. These are extra reactions that can
cash in, or just every round? Every round. Now
it has forever from now on for the rest of this
counter. So when his turn comes back, he has
11 renewed reaction. While you were doing all
the damage calculation, everyone was so lucky.
I was looking at the ability that I wrote. A
few weeks ago. No, no, no, not a few weeks ago.
Like, months ago. And I'm like, oh boy, this
is perfect. As it does all the damage, it can
only do this once on the counter. Its resolve
suddenly shoots up. As it is going to do. Let's
leave. Let's go. As it is going to attack you.
Oh, that was his action. Sorry, that was his
action. Oh, okay. Okay. Uh -huh. So, it's going
to go ahead and... I closed my notebook. Let's
pack up. Let's go. Boss. It's going to use a
bonus action to spend two exertion points. As
you see, it raises up its weapon. And you see,
even though you're in pitch black, you see outlines
of shadows beginning to cling onto the blade.
Cling onto its weapon. It seems like it's...
Ready for something. Okay, question. It says
the previous turn, not round. So just my damage?
Okay. What that was intended to be is that the
entirety of the portion before its turn. Okay.
It would still get max reactions even if it didn't
have my damage, I think. And it would still get...
So it would still be most of the attacks. It
would just exclude my first two attacks. Because
we did a bunch of attacks on that one round.
Okay. I'm in that one turn. So... Seeing this,
seeing it... Wait, wait, wait. Oh, I guess I
didn't make a deception check. Give it a fake
name. Okay, never mind. It is... It seemingly
has a new poise to it. It's bowing its head.
No longer is it... No longer has an arm open
out. Now it's... proper fighting stance. The
Maronite is ready. It's Cure's turn. We just
gotta do it again. Just do it again. We just
gotta do it again. I only have one more of those.
Okay. Just crit normally. What was my other thing?
What was my thing? Seafarer. Oh, that's to make
me... Seafarer is Misty Step, and then you also
attack. Misty Step, so I can get away if I need
to eventually like that. Alright. We attack normally
with plus two from blanking. Natural one. What's
up? Oh, wait. But I can use high standards to
make it the average of my roll. So 10 plus 10
is a 20 to hit. Yes. Let me check something real
quick. It would still add the plus two from the
flanking. So 22. Oh, yeah. 22 to hit. It hits.
That's nice. Um, okay. Eight piercing damage,
because now I'm rolling minimum damages on my
dice. And, um... And sneak attack. Plus 17 is
what Kira does. These attacks now seem to be
less effective. Okay. Love that. I'm going to,
what's it called? Because she made an attack,
I'm going to make an attack with my reaction.
Yes. Get in. And this is still a crit on 18 because
dangerous strike is until the, I think, start
of my next turn. So that is going to be 28 to
hit. So that was a 16 on the die. 16 on the die,
yeah. No, it's not. It's a 5. Uses a reaction.
So it becomes a 5. But it's your favorite number,
the 26. Do you see the 26 there? I'm sorry. This
is the knight's doing. This is the knight's doing.
Okay, wait, wait. So 5, 10. It's his favorite
number, too. Give me a sec. So it's a 5 on the
die now. So it's 5 plus 10. It's 15. It's 17.
And its AC is currently reduced by 2 because
I hit it. Okay. So believe it or not, still hits.
But then he's going to use a second reaction.
And don't worry. He has nine more. Don't worry.
To do a Harry. Okay. So now the AC... So you're
17? Uh -huh. It parries you. That's how it feels.
Okay, well, at least because it's a miss, I'm
going to have advantage on my next attack against
it. So at least there's that. You changed your
mind yet, boss? You changed your mind yet? I
have something else to do, too. Real quick, as
I want to say, as you come in with the strike,
as you are sure, because you have done things
like this many, many times, you have attacked,
you have been sure of your strikes many times,
you feel... something literally shift inside
of you um and then the reality of of it is that
even though nothing has changed the reality the
reality just the reality of it is is like maybe
you just didn't have it maybe something shifted
immediately possibility shifted Okay. Okay. That
was my reaction. Just to give you a hint on what
happened. Uh -huh. Any new orders, boss? Before
I take another attack or bonus action? Neither
of us are really hurt. So I guess just hit it
again. I'm gonna Velocity and attack it again.
26. Your favorite. No, 28, technically, because
plus 2 from Flanking. No, it's a... It is, in
fact, a 5. Okay, but what if it's a 10? No, it's
a 5. Wait, does yours overrule mine? Yes. Oh,
no. Wait. Wait, wait, wait. Yeah, you can turn
it to that. Oh, I already did it. I already did
it per round, though. Sorry. I already did it
this round, so it doesn't work. Yeah, he's going
to do his thing. He's going to invert reality.
It still applies, so it still would need to parry
again. Okay. Because it didn't take damage from
the last thing. So it inverts reality to make
it a five, and then it's going to parry. So,
it does deflect. Ding! Ding! Two Vanishers, who
are normally so pinpoint, who are normally so...
just so deadly in their... in their accuracy,
cannot seem to get a pinpoint on this figure.
Boss, I'm trying. Lock and cure. I loved it!
You saw what I did! Before it warped reality.
Oh boy. Okay, well. I should have been in charge.
All right, is it my turn? Uh, yes. All right,
we're gonna do... I'm gonna spend an exertion
point to do a Perplexing Flurry. How many exertion
points did you... Did you use for that? One.
Okay. It's going to spend one reaction. Now you
have a choice. You can either go through with
it or you can double your exertion points. You
either cancel it or you spend double the exertion
points to do it. Do I still lose the one I already
spent? If you lose out on it, yes. So you have
to double down or back off. So that's already
gone. Yeah, I'll double down. Okay, go ahead.
Okay. Attack with the kinglet knife. Oh, wait,
I have advantage. I have advantage because I
missed it. You do, you do. Oh, yep. Another 26.
Go ahead, make it a five. Do it. Make it a five
and then parry again. Okay. It was kind of them
to take my first attack. Yeah. All right. So
I missed. So I have advantage on the next attack.
How many reactions has that been? So far it's
been five. Like half of them. Oh, almost. All
right. Second attack. 15. That's going to be
a miss. Yeah. Unless it wants to flip reality
around. You can make it a five. Does he want
to make it a five? No, I think it like does like
the inverse of the roll or something. So I rolled
a three. So I bring it up to like a 17 on the
die or something. You could do that. This is
Tamsin's thing. I'll just go and post it. So
you guys can have it. So Tamsin has this. Tamsin,
where the fuck are you? Get back. Get over here.
Tamsin, you need to invert back. I don't even
like you, Tamsin, right now. Sorry, that's Valora,
not Kier. Shit. All right. Well, that was my
two attacks. I guess I will bonus action offhand
swing. 19 to hit. You know what? It hits. Okay.
Its AC is reduced by two. This is sneak attack.
Oh, not great damage. 17 total. 17, gotcha. I
want to stab him too. Do it. With my bird thing.
Okay. I go kaboom. Natural 20. And so is it going
to do something? Unfortunately, it does not have
enough reality to... Oh, it can't invert it?
No. We'll take this. I'm locked in. Oh, it only
can do that a number of times. We're done. We're
done with that. Okay, we got this. I'm locked
in. I'm Kieran. I'm locked the fuck in. Okay.
So 13 on the first part, and then I do my sneak
attack. Sneak attacks. I'm open to Valora again
by accident. Kier, I was like, where's her sneak
attack? Valora doesn't have sneak attack. It's
20 plus 32. 52. Okay. Quick man, 26. So 65 points
of damage total. Okay. I'm carrying you right
now. I burned all of its invert realities, okay?
Yeah, that's true. Good job. It's going to use
a reaction in response to taking critical damage.
Oh. To take an attack, a swing. To take a swing,
I just looked at the overlay and seeing Emma
fucking jump scared me for a second. Emma, you're
way too happy about all of this right now. I'm
just saying. I'm just having a good time. 20.
I wouldn't hit Valora, but not, but Q. Your AC
is 18? 18. You can try to parry this. Is it a
reaction to parry? No. No, it's not a reaction,
but it adds an expertise die to your AC for that
attack. You can do it, because you have two knives,
you can do it twice per round, but it doesn't
use a reaction. So I can parry. The platypus.
Yeah. Parry the platypus. Unless we did... I've
been using the plus two roll the whole time.
For parry, would it just be d4? Yeah, it'd be
d4. Okay. Three. Ding! Seventeen. Dang, bitch.
I am locked in. This huge weapon swings at Kira.
Kira just sting and just kind of like deftly
steps off to the side as the weapon crashes against
the ground and cleaves into it. It cuts through
into the stone ground. Oh, boy. Okay. All right.
This is still on my turn, right? No, no, no.
Yes. Yes. Okay. That was her swooping bird. Got
it. And I snuck attack already. So, okay. All
right. So I'm going to save my reaction. Okay.
At the end of your turn, this is the end of your
turn, right? Right? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yes. Yes.
Just confirming. It is going to send out two
spikes. I try to hit you with them. Me? Yes.
No, not the spikes. These are ranged attacks?
They are. Oh, okay. Those both hit. So a total
of five necrotic damage that can't be healed.
Mm -hmm. Okay. Healing potions. Oh, no, it has
disadvantage on these because I did Perplexing
Flurry. Oh, okay. So that first one's 21. Mm
-hmm. and then i roll twice again so natural
one on that one not one i get three health back
baby let's go okay if you can well no as in it
i don't lose those those three oh okay oh okay
okay that makes more sense okay it is going to
gently like air puts that puts the blade up to
its side. At the top of its turn, all of its
reaction and invert reality comes back. It gets
the invert realities back? God damn it. Oh, great.
I love that about him. Okay, and it is going
to attack you. Oh, you! You! Okay, it's disadvantage.
It's a nat 1, so it's going to use its invert
reality to make it a nat 20. Spending 3 points.
I knew it. Okay. Give me one point. Go ahead.
One second here. How much damage could it do?
It is the first time it's doing an actual attack
on one of us. Maybe he sucks. Maybe he's a loser.
He works for my dad. So right now you take, let
me see, 19 points of slashing damage and nine
points of fire damage. That's not what that says.
That's not what that says. Okay. Okay. What is
it? It's how much total? What is it? It's 19
points. of slashing damage and nine points of
fire fire damage 19 19 yeah 19 plus 9 so 28 points
total oh dear lord okay i'm not looking good
i'm not looking good i'm in single digits why
do you have like no health I mean, that was a
lot of damage, and I already took a couple of
max health losses. So, boss, what are we thinking?
Oh, wait. I'm sorry. It's Vicious Blade from
earlier. Let's see. Constitution saving throw.
I'll make a con save. Okay, I have... One second.
Is a con save... Is this versus... A charm, a
frighten, a paralyze, a poison, a stun, or being
put to sleep. It doesn't look like any of those.
I was waiting to see. Is this a... It's not a
charm or a frighten. Okay. Con save. I have plus
two to whatever this is. Nat 20, so 24. Okay.
Don't invert. Don't invert. Don't invert. Is
it nat 20? Don't do it. Mm -hmm. For a 24. So,
believe it or not, you're safe. Because it takes
three Invert Realities to undo a critical. Oh.
Okay. So, I can't do it. Though I would have
loved to. Because you would have taken additional
D8 plus 8. Plus 5. So, you're alive. Mm -hmm.
Mm -hmm. Imagine if Charles Wilson didn't burn.
Charles fucking Wilson. Okay. Yes, Dragmire,
it has 11 reactions around. Because of the amount
of damage we did to it, it gets, like, a portion
of that. On the first round that he took away,
he gets 11 reactions per round. Not just for
the encounter, per round. We did like 250 damage
in the first round. They didn't know about this
cool thing. Cool? Sorry, very swood, very cool.
Cool? You said cool, you meant cruel? It has
a thing called Resolve Siphon, where it uses
the action to undo all the damage it's taken
from the previous. round uh and then it divides
that damage by 10 to a maximum of 10 and then
that that adds to the amount of reactions it
can get for the rest of the encounter all right
so if that was the first attack on me yeah that
was the first one uh okay this boss we got this
uh -huh um it's going it's going to use its extra
attack to ask for your name The Maronite asks
for your name once more. Why do you want my name?
The Maronite is curious. You're sneaking up behind
him. Getting ready to... This is all happening
in a single moment. I know. I know. I'm joking.
I'm so stressed, because, like, I should give
it to... It'd be easier, but also, like... I
can't give it my name. Do I have any idea of
whether this thing is... Whether my, like, thing
is going to be able to erase its memories or
not? It's been... It has been a psychological
experience being just around this thing. in the
first place. Because just the things that have
been happening in the chat box has been going
through your mind, you know? Which is something
that the players know, but the audience doesn't.
But you feel like it's been quite a turbulent
time, so it has been messing with your mind in
some way, but that's all you have on it right
now. am i gonna die if i don't tell it my name
because of charles wilson really really the question
of a lifetime um to melody's brother -in -law
not even not even that do i get the feeling That
it just knew the previous name? Or do I get the
feeling it will know if I lie again? You feel
the disappointment from earlier? You feel like
it knows already. It knows a lot of things about
you already. I need to have a convo with him.
She's trying to open a dialogue. Well, if you
already know, it's cold. So restore your health
back to where it's maximum possible. So I fully
heal or does my max goes back up? You fully heal.
Oh, thank you, Albert, for subscribing to us.
Thank you, Dragmire, for giving a sub to Albert.
I just thought that was really funny. Thank you
so much. Thank you, Marinite, for giving me a
gifted sub. Get healed. Dragmire's the Marinite?
Yeah. Wow, I can't believe you threw this spin
for Dragmire. That's why he's so badass. Wow,
you're like a legend. Okay. So you heal back
to full, which you could possibly do. Your maximum
health is still reduced. Oh, okay. Max health
is still reduced. So I was at... What was I at
before? I think I'm at 37 is my max now. Okay.
So. And then as it does that for its extra attack,
and it just kind of leans back, it holds its
sword out to the side again. It kind of looks
at you. It's appraising you, waiting for you
to get back your stance, your poise, for you
to be healthy again, and it's going to strike
you once more. Okay. Again? 15 misses. Is it
with disadvantage this time still? It's still
with disadvantage, yeah. Perplexing. Okay. Nice.
Nice. It'll use its funnel for reality to...
That means I can do some damage to him. What's
that turn it into? So it's a... It was a 3. It
turns it into an 18. 18 plus... Plus 12. Plus
all the bonus. So yeah. Yeah. Hit me. Hit me
with your best shot. So you take a total of 15
points of slashing damage and 7 points of fire
damage. 15 and 7 fire? Yes. Ow. I can't take
another one of those. This fire feels familiar.
Anyways. Top of the round. Top of the round.
As all reactions get ready to parry away. It
holds weapons as you are beginning to fade. You
see Kier. Kind of, like, even though she's, like,
entirely focused, she looks towards you. Like,
she does a double take, sees you, like... So,
like, how would you describe Koa's looks right
now? Um... Confused. His eyes are, like, darting
to his hands. Or to, like, his hand. Um, like,
back... And then briefly, like, down to one of
his fingers. Just, like, stressed, like, something's
going on. Okay. I think, like, the mask is, like,
slipping a little bit of, like... Put that in
her mind. But still focused up. Oh, right. Can
we stay in? Can we stay in the box? At the top
of the round. Okay. Because this encounter is
taking place a little bit before Valora's perspective,
you hear something slight in the distance. The
bell ringing. The knight suddenly drops its arms.
And then you feel something shake. The whole
area begins to quake. And then you see the knight
suddenly grasp its head. It's vulnerable. I'm
gonna beat his ass. Okay, Kier's turn. I'm gonna
beat him. I'm gonna get him. I... You know, I'm
gonna use my cunning action to get advantage
because I haven't been running around anyways.
And I do want to say for the both of you, you
cannot hear right now. It is loud in here. Okay.
I'm gonna get advantage. I'm not planning to
run right now. So I'm using my bonus action.
Get advantage. Um, wait, it's a restored. Yeah.
It has minus two to its AC though. Yeah. It's
not in the state to use reactions. Oh, okay.
Okay. Okay. Okay. That's fine. Okay. Okay. Advantage.
Get it. Get it. Uh, 19, not natural. Automatic
crit. Automatic crit? Yeah. I'll take it. 9 plus
4 is 13. Then sneak attack on top. 19 plus 32.
This is a total from the dagger, 64 points of
damage. Okay, let me go ahead and... Some quick
maths here. There we go. Okay. And I would like
to use... Swooping blade. Nice. Go ahead. The
Swooping Bird. Teemer makes the teamwork, all
of that. If you hit... I'm just saying if you
hit, it's an automatic crit all around. Okay.
Nice. That... Okay, it's not dangerous. So that
wouldn't... Yeah, so that's a crit. So that's
going to be... plus 8 plus 9 plus another 4 from
the dagger plus 18 plus 6. That's another 45
damage. Okay. Between piercing and psychic. If
the psychic seems to be working, then I'll keep
doing the psychic. It's messing with my head.
I'm messing with it. You see the second energy
is pulsing throughout it. It is doing something.
It's effective. You're seeing it now. You're
seeing it now. Okay. And then I would like to
use velocity. Yes. Attack again. It has my ST
to its AC again because I hit it. Nice. Not advantage
anymore. So... 16? It hits. Oh, wait. I can get
a minimum of 10 anyways, so it's fine. But...
Alright. 11. 11 plus 4, 15. Is it a crit again?
It's a crit. All of these are crits. Another
4. Okay. Thank you. Okay. So... Let's see. Is
it still Kier's turn? That was Kier's turn. Okay.
So go ahead, Cole. Okay. I'm going to go ahead
and it doesn't have any reactions. It's already
auto -critting. You know what? Let's just save
the points. So this is going to be 19 to hit.
19 to hit, yep. Okay. So that's going to be a
total of if this is a crit. Okay. Was it 16?
Plus four, plus 18, plus six. That's going to
be a total of 50 more damage. Gotcha, gotcha.
Next attack with a velocity. Oh, yeah, you do
yours. Do yours first. I want to swoop in and
mess him up with this. Not natural 20. Still
a crit. Still good. 12. It's a sneak attack.
And then sneak attack. 13 plus 32. Okay, so 45.
45. That's 12, 57. Total, let me calculate this.
Stat. Okay. So, these strikes finding true as
you take advantage of this momentary bit of vulnerability.
It's hurt. It's hurt real bad. Alright, velocity,
second strike is 22 to hit. That hits. Okay,
this is not sneak attack, so that's, if it's
a crit, 15 more damage. 15, gotcha. And then,
uh... It's doing... Possibly eight more damage
worth it, or should I just down a potion of some
kind? This is taking... I'm taking fire damage
from this thing. But it would kill me and...
Yeah, okay. Bonus action. I'm going to drink
this other supreme healing potion. This feels
bad to be using this, but I got it. Yep. He was
50, I think, total? Yep. Okay. I can just raid
Melody's room again. Whatever. Okay. That's the
end? That is it. That's my turn. Okay. As it
sort of, like, kind of, like, steadies itself,
It comes back to its form. The vulnerability
seems to over as it begins its poise. The Maronite
was staggered. It will use its action as you
see little bits of ichor dripping out of... You
don't see any wounds or anything of the sort
that would tell you that's any sort of blood
or liquids coming out. So you're just seeing
like... Like liquid oozing out of solid batter
that you don't understand. You don't understand
any of this thing. It's going to use its action
to lay on hands on itself. And it's going to
heal 75. The invert realities do not come back
for now. Okay. Okay. And it's going to use its
bonus action to have shadows cling onto the blade.
And at the end of its turn, it's going to use
a legendary action to use Living Shadow. So,
you see the Maronite shaken. Almost as if it
did not enjoy that moment of vulnerability that
it had. It clutches its hand. And you see...
You feel something hovering at your back. And
Kira's back as well. Akira, you feel it as well.
As you see a shadow manifesting before you. Holding
what seems to be a shadowy... like outline of
a of a knife okay uh i'm just letting you know
you can attack these um as long as they as long
as they're on you uh any creature who attacks
you has flanking um just give you a heads up
okay and yeah uh let's see That's going to be
the end of its turn. More ringing. Ding, ding.
Deeper occurs in the distance. You see this time
it clutches its hand. It's going to, just at
the top of this round, it's just going to let
it by. As this loud ringing sound comes by, it
fills up your ears. It shakes the inner parts
of your brain. It rattles your skull. We are
going to shift perspectives over to Valora real
quick. Oh, hi, I'm here. I was about to tell
him he should be more vulnerable, you know? It's
good to be open, but... Valora, you fly, soaring
across, soaring above Irobran, heading towards
the bell. And as you do, it's the dark of night.
You already see an assortment of torches on the
bottom. People are already going to investigate
other knights. But you are the one that's actually
flying at the moment. And typically people don't
fly at night. As you head towards the bell, you
see the bell moving. It's being rung. There is
a silhouette of a figure beneath the bell doing
the ringing. Cloaked in... cloaked in robe um
as you go ahead and head on uh head on over um
are you making yourself are you making any effort
to hide do you think we should hide or just approach
is it a roger this Come on, no need for the fancy
footwork. Let's just go in. Okay. Fly up. As
you fly towards it, towards this figure, you
see this... The cloak conceals a lot. There's
a lot of droopiness to it. You can't get an accurate...
depiction of what the body is underneath it but
it's completely it's completely it's completely
like hood up looking at the face there's a mask
over it in um this bell is impossibly loud let's
get closer towards it you see rujuga hey um despite
the loud nature of it you have to wear ear protection
like hearing protection when you're up here You
see this person suddenly shoot up. And then they
look towards you. You see just the white of eyes.
And then the person immediately turns and begins
to dart. Rushes extremely fast. I teleport him.
Teleport him? I try to. I attempt to. Okay, it's
a Christmas save, right? Yes. That's pretty low.
Where the heck is it? This happens every time
I do this. I need it somewhere good. I have rolled
a natural 20. A nat 20? Yeah, on the roll 20.
Okay. I saw it. Okay. I don't teleport it. As
you attempt to, as the pull goes through, he
sort of like shoves off your attempt. Rudra,
as you're closer to the wall, Rudra kind of like
does like a practice leap off. It's not too far.
It's not too risky. She lands and begins to give
chase. As the person sort of like dips below,
the uh the dips below goes down the stairs into
like the actual wall part of irobin itself rudra
gives chase and she she disappears beneath uh
beneath sight i can't dash but can i teleport
rudra to be in front of them you can't see in
front of them because they like i said i don't
have to see oh that's right Hold on one second,
actually. It has to be a point that you can see,
doesn't it? I don't think it says that because
that's why I teleported the thing into Saga's
room without looking. Oh, that's right. I specifically
noticed this eventually and that's why I did
that. So you hear... Did I miss anything? You're
pretty much going to get caught up, Albert. So
you hear the shunt of Rudra. You hear something
clatter. Heavy things. There's a bunch of wooden
barrels and training stuff in the wall. And you
hear, Gotcha! I try to follow as best I can without
being able to dash. And as you bring, as you,
as you're going along with Phantom and, and you
land, as you're reaching like near the stairs,
um, you hear, wait, where'd you go? As you come
down and you see, you see Rudra, um, nestled
on top of a wisp of fog. It's a banisher isn't
it? I know they don't leave fog though What happened?
They're just gone Okay, not invisible or teleported
keep an eye keep an eye out what's up. I'm still
gonna look around Okay Hmm fandom you smell anything
Goes over and smells the point of where Beruja
just was, and he just sniffs the ground there.
And you realize, as this all seems familiar,
this all seems like a little bit familiar to
you, considering how Phantom's smell works, this
is the end point. He's just gone. There's no
other smell, no trail left behind. Trying to
look for a point where they could have teleported
to, but she does understand that most teleportation
does require sight. Not all of it. Not hers.
She doesn't spot anything, I'm guessing. I'll
give you the, like, just for... Just to keep
the game going. Like, yeah. No, you don't see
anything. Yeah. It's very cramped in these parts
of, like... the wall like heading upwards so
um not much they could go is there anything else
you can just tell me no i don't find anything
interesting but there's nothing no signs of what
was going on at the top just the guy ringing
it yeah up top it was just like Um, the door
that heads into the bell tower itself that is
under, like, lock and key, it's under security.
Um, there's no, like, abrasions or anything in
the door, but it was, like, picked. Okay. No,
no, no, no. Actually, actually, I'm sorry. Give
me a quick investigation check. Disadvantage.
Sorry. Disadvantage. Um, okay. Just flipped over
my notes. 17. I rolled the same number again
for both of them. Okay. So... So Valorant, looking
at the... So this thing has a huge padlock on
it. You came up here before. And looking at the
lock, it's like... Like... Ironburn has great
locks. Very tough because it's a school full
of rogues and they're trained to pick locks so
they're trying to take up security so people
don't fuck around. So you know it's hard, but
looking at it, it's opened. And keeping an eye
on those lockpicks, you don't see any markings
or abrasions. But that doesn't tell you much.
It could have been very expertly lockpicked.
But now you're not entirely sure. Or they had
the key. Okay. You hear voices trailing up. Other
knights. He goes, who are they? Edrude just goes,
they just disappeared. I'm still looking around
for them. He goes, and then you - They got the
padlock open. They either had a key or something.
You see some people begin to like, approach upwards
the conversation around you becomes like who
was it like who i don't know they were like like
just they were wearing like a cloaking figure
and and this and that um and you see that people
um there is this thing in the air of like like
people realize like oh it's not a student pulling
a prank so now the nights you see there's a there's
in the air like people are just taking it more
seriously Like, oh, if it wasn't a student or
someone hiding, then what else could it be? Someone
comes up to you. You see one of the knights that
was at the wake. One of the blue wolves knights.
Makes his way up to you. Just goes, can I see
that? See what? Pointing at the padlock. I mean,
yeah. He takes it and just kind of like, and
just like, like look towards it. And he just
kind of like puts the lock back in and tries
to pull it back out, but it doesn't, it doesn't
come back out. He just, he just goes, huh. All
right. Nothing final yet, but it's pretty hard
to get into here. Just because... Yeah, and they
just, like, vanished. Rudra got on top of them
and they vanished. Like, and fandom can't pick
up the scent anymore. So they either teleported
somewhere, but then if they could teleport, why
would they have... I mean, maybe they had a key
for the lock, I don't know. You see one of the
halfling knights, a halfling female knight just
goes, It's a lot of effort to get away. But this
if it's just a little prank Okay, we're gonna
go ahead just form Remember, we're just gonna
do some check arounds and try to get everything
all locked back up, but For now we need to get
Let's see you points that useless This Avonlea,
you go ahead and just leave this up to us. I
could... If someone wanted to come with me, I
could fly around the outside of the tower. See
if there's anything out on the outside. And it
just goes... And then looks to Pallavi. Like
she's the... Like she's the authority. Pallavi
just goes, I don't know why you're looking at
me. She can do what she wants. Yeah. Go ahead.
Gives you the nod. All right. If anyone's perceptive,
wants to come with me. But otherwise, I'll go
myself. I think you go faster. Come back as soon
as you see something, okay? Okay. So you're heading
off? Yeah, she wants to see if there's anything,
any signs of anyone or anything on the outside
of the tower, the bell tower. So as you head
inward towards the bell tower and still keeping
an eye about it, it seems like... There is now
an atmosphere of like, oh, the grown -ups are
here, and you're not supposed to be here, kind
of like atmosphere coming in. It's being objected
by Rudra just being there. As you go, you see
Phantom all of a sudden sniffs. Sniffs the ground.
Find it. And you see he aims his head down. Towards
the. Like off the side of the wall. Inwards towards
the schools. And like everything within Irobrin.
I direct him that way. To follow. Okay. He waits
for you to get on him. Because he's going to
fly. And he begins to fly downwards. You see.
As you. come as you fly on downwards you begin
to head towards the part where there is the sort
of like the precipice the the doorway that leads
into like of the the small doorway that leads
into the the gelode you head down and and you
see that the um the wall the illusion is up um
And you see Phantom sniffing towards there. She
urges him forward, trying to keep alert. Phantom
sniffs. And then you see he kind of like tentatively
like, because it's against his instincts, he
kind of like pushes against the wall and heads
inwards. Where you see Um, a iron bar door that's
closed. You give it a try and it opens. Ventip
continues to smell as you head downwards. The
knocked out guy is inside the door on the stairs.
Is he still? It's cold, Valora. It's very, very
cold. As you, it gets colder the more you go
down. She wants to push... Strange, because it
shouldn't be like this this time of year, even
underground. It's, like, abnormally cold. Yeah.
She makes sure fandom is looking okay, but keeps
pushing. I was built for this. This is nothing
to, like, towards... Like, this is nothing compared
to Aurora. As you push open that wooden door
that lays at the bottom, A pristine room hangs
in front of you. No one there. Does he still
have a trail? He continues to sniff. As you get
to the door on the other side, you see Phantom
kind of like... There's like a bloodhound like
points at the door As you open it You open it
the doorknob turns but as you push something
pushes back It's not something actively pushing
back, but it's like someone braced the other
side of the door Okay, if we can't get it I'll
try one hard shove, and if it... No, I want to
keep light still. I bet they know I'm following
them. But I don't want to waste time trying to
break it down when I'm weak. I'm going to use
my last teleport and teleport through. Okay.
As you teleport through towards the other side,
you see that one of the chairs from the internet
has been placed against the doorknob, so... It's
pushing back. Phantom's still in. You can undo
the door now. Yeah. Oh, I teleported Phantom
with me. Oh, okay. I can do the both of us at
once. Yeah, of course. And didn't you hear the
sound of something in the distance? a swoop a
swooping sound and a any fissure um a like like
like a small quake in the distance something
intense is happening we'll hurry um as much i
mean i can't dash but i'll cast long stride around
myself okay Well, on Phantom, technically. Coil.
And I want everyone to know, real quick, the
time disparity. Because each round of combat
is six seconds. But Valora is taking a very,
very long time. Yeah. So, and encounters usually
don't last more than a minute in -world. So I
do want everyone to keep that in mind. As we're
going forward. They also had time to clean up.
So it's Kier's turn. I'm Kier now. I'm going
to beat him up. I'm going to beat him. Get his
ass. Get his ass. Okay. Okay. I'm going to also
do my aim. I'm going to aim. It has minus two
to its AC currently. Wait, have my, have my sneak
attacks been correct? Oh yeah, they are. Okay.
I was wondering why they're higher than yours.
It's because I get D8s. Okay. Okay. I am going
to stab with advantage. Do so. Here. That says
Valora again, but it's a nat 20. Well, it's a
nat 19. That fucking hits. And he was out, and
he couldn't recover it. Okay. I... Gotta get
it, gotta get it. It's 10 plus 4, 14. And then
sneak attack. It's plus 13 plus... Plus 32. Okay,
32. Y 'all gotta stop walking in. 69 points of
damage. Oh, nice. Alright, and because she attacked,
I'm gonna use my reaction to also make an attack.
As Kira stabs into this thing, giving me a moment.
It is a 29 to hit. Okay. Would you like it to
crit? Would you like it for my last thing? Boss?
I'm just worried we're going to need that plus
three. I know. Save it for now. Save it for now.
Okay. You can always add it to another attack.
Got it, boss. So that is going to be a total
of 22 more damage. You got it. You got it. Get
him. Get his ass. Okay. Between magical piercing
and psychic. It will use a reaction. Doesn't
have any of its reality, sadly, but it will.
It will make a sword attack against here. It's
the critical damage. So 30 to hit. I guess that
will hit. Okay. A cure will take. Nope, that's
not it. Kira will take 11 points of slashing
damage and 1 point of lightning damage. Okay,
and do these reduce my max? No, this one doesn't.
Okay, so 12. What's 38 minus 12? 38 minus 12
is 26. Thank you. Oh, of course. Yay! May I velocity?
Yeah, real quick, it's also going to take a reaction
to Coal attacking it. Okay. Go ahead. Two Dreadthorns,
please. You're welcome. 27 and 17. Those both
hit. You're going to... Oh, wait, they're Dreadthorns.
Yeah, I know. It's Dreadthorns. Okay, I'm fine.
I'm fine. I have 34 health. I'm good. But those
reduce your max. Yeah, I know. It's a good thing
you healed first. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. We
are... Velocity! Velocity! I want to stab him.
I'm going to stab him so good. You better watch
this. It's a 7. A 19. 19? 19. It's AC is reduced
by 2 still as well. Okay. It's gonna try and
parry He's gonna try and he's gonna oh wait,
it's actually higher. Okay. I'm gonna do the
thing where um, I can make it a 10 So it goes
up by 3. Is that okay? Or is it too late? No,
you could do it Okay, so so it's one it's 20
22 22 So no, no, so it's still gonna parry but
AC was a 21 after its full complete parry. So
you hit. Okay. And it rolled the max. Okay. 11
piercing. Coolest personal skill coming in clutch.
11. Yes. You got it. The AC goes back. Okay.
AC goes back. Here we go. Anything coming up
next? That's the end of Keir's turn? That's it.
Okay, gonna send two dread spikes towards Keir.
He could also not do that if he wanted. 24 and
15? 15, miss. 24, miss. One necrotic damage,
I can't be healed. I'm off of your lucky number.
I'm on 25. It's over for you. If you'd left me
at 26, you could've... You're doing good. You're
doing good with it. Alright. Koel, it's your
turn. My turn. How's this thing looking? Is it
at the state it was at when we hit it? Yes. After
the first round? It's now fighting. to fight.
It's no longer toying around. Now it's taking
this seriously. It is hurt. It's very hurt. You've
gotten it down to where it was before. Before
it bullshit healed itself. In the first round
of combat. Now made up after multiple rounds.
Do I drink a potion of speed or do I just save
them? Give me two extra AC. There's no extra
sneak attacks from it. But it might matter. It
would make a difference. Okay, we're gonna...
Melody Fidelity is coming in clutch. I am downing
one of the potions of speed. We love you. Shoutout
Melody. So I gain the effects of haste. The AC
might make a big difference too. Yeah. Where's
my AC? Where's the AC modifier thing that I have?
Ah, here we are. Haste. Okay. What flavor are
these potions? What is this flavor of this potion?
Very sadly, as you're not in the mood for bright
things right now, you... You taste an artificial
strawberry banana taste. Okay. Yum. And you are
forced to reckon with the fact that now you have
a tongue that has glitter on it. The whole fight.
Whatever. Whatever. It's fine. It's fine. There's
probably, like, blood in my mouth, too, so it's
all good. I can't use that. I can't use that.
All right. We're gonna make this a... dangerous
strike. Do so. It doesn't double my cost? How
much is it? How much is the exertion? One. Nah.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Saving his react. Actions
to body us, probably. Probably. Okay, so this
is a dangerous strike, so I crit on an 18. Alright,
this is... I'm flanking. Nat 20. Actually, wait.
Actually, it's a 19. It's a nat 19, actually.
It's the Valor difference, or the thing. It is
a crit. At this, at this. Okay, so I down this
potion. I chuck the bottle and I just kind of
like jump into the air and try and like stab
it into its head. I aim for like the biggest
eye it's got. So that is going to be a total
of 50 damage. Okay, real quick. It's going to
use a reaction in response to your critical attack.
Okay. To short attack you. Okay, go ahead. With
the bone blade. The bone blade. Love that. And
because of circumstances... Because of circumstances
that I'm not quite... I usually say these out
loud. The shadows? And it attacks with advantage.
With advantage. Okay. Gross. I don't like it.
It's a hit. And it will use three exertion points
to twist the blade. So it's a crit. Okay. Anything
I can do about that? Yeah. Me neither. Yep. So
you take... This is the second time he's crit
you? So you take 32 points of damage total. I
have two health left. You're alive? Oh my gosh!
Oh my god! Oh, what the heck? So as you dive
the blade deep into him, as you're kind of like
focused on this, singularly focused, it's hard
to be focused on anything else other than this
thing in front of you. The cold, the chill, the
numbness that surrounds you. You have to get
rid of the source. It's hard to focus on anything
else. It's just pure darkness and cold. As your
blade finds true, utter purchase, slamming. piercing
directly into the eye of this creature as Ikor
sort of like spills upwards towards you in this
like, in this eruption of, this fountain of like
strange, strange, extremely bitter tasting liquid.
You don't feel it because of how cold it is.
But then you sort of like, you very briefly lose
feeling. in both your legs very briefly as you
look down to find yourself horrifically impaled.
Keir, get it. Keir's going to swoop in like a
swooping bird. Yes. Keir's going to beat him
up like a consummate professional, but she might
not even use that. Wait, wait, wait. I'm going
to spend three exertion points to use Blear so
I don't take any damage. Damn! I had three exertion
points. I had three left. Does it work? I was
avoiding using those because I didn't know if
it worked. I'm going to try it. Oh, gosh. Hey,
you know what? Flavor -wise? Okay, you know what?
Because it's currently the weapon, not its form.
You look down to see yourself impaled, but it's...
It's through air. Your form shifts very briefly
as you kind of like gently maneuver your body
outside of its weapon. Just move a little bit
over. I stab and I like, I see a thing and I
just like, I let go and I drop like through it.
And then the blade pops back into my hand. As
you kind of drop, the bone blade rests just above.
Your head is touching it, but it did not hit
you, thankfully. Oh, okay. That was all my exertion
points. Get it here. Swooping in. Using the knife.
That was a 14. It has minus 2, so it's a C currently.
14 probably won't hit it. I could use... I could
use her consummate professional. I already used
it. Wait, didn't I use it? I believe you... I'm
checking. Or did I not have to? And so I didn't.
I'm checking. Give me one moment here. 14 to
hit. To make him less likely to parry it. I think
that's what... That sounds like what's happened,
but I'm just scrolling. I think that's what happened.
I'm just scrolling back to make sure, because
I don't see any roll. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you did.
Yeah. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. But I could add
three. Do I think adding three would be enough?
That'll bring it to a 17. Has a 17 hit with the
lowered AC. It probably could parry. You know
what? We're in a dangerous position. Use one
of my inspirations. Inspiration? Thank you. Okay.
Lock the fuck in, Kira. I'm locking in. 26. Which
I could use to crit. I could add my consummate
professional to add. Get it. I'm doing it. I'm
doing it, boss. Get its ass. It's my last consummate
professional. I want to crit. I'm turning it
into a crit. It's going to turn around and stab
the fuck out of you instead. Yeah, but I also
have my ship thing, and I haven't used any exertion.
You used your reaction, though, to do this attack.
Oh, you're right. You're right. You're right.
Okay, well, I will just die then. It's fine.
Yeah. It's whatever. If I can get out with your
body, that's okay. Alright, so 9 plus 4 is 13
for piercing. And then the sneak attack is 21
plus 32. So that's 53. Added together is 66.
66 damage. I want him dead. I want him gone.
Okay. The attack finds once again Amazing, fantastical
purchase. Cleaves deep. Still going. Going to
attack you. Okay. What advantage? No such advantage.
A natural one and a 21. I could attempt to parry.
Yeah, might as well try it. Yeah, you could.
You need a four on the die, right? Tracy's 18.
I rolled a two. Okay. Ignore the damage type.
You didn't take that one. So 12 points of slashing
damage, five points of lightning damage. 12 and
five. 17. What's 25 minus 17? Eight. I'm at eight
health. Cole, you also see Kier as she's taking
the hits. She's trying to maintain a steely.
formation but she's covering her mouth as she's
her eyes widen at something her body's lurching
at something you you're kind of getting it yep
yep okay uh all right so that was my first attack
yes um i'm gonna spend my last point of velocity
to do another attack this is That is a 17. So
close. A one away from a crit. So a 29 to hit.
It hits. Okay. That is going to be 10 piercing
damage. Okay, got you. And then I'm going to
use my haste attack to do one more attack. That
is an 18. And because it's dangerous strikes,
that means it's a crit. It's not a sneak attack.
Actually, crits are not that great when it's
not. So 15 more piercing damage. Yeah, when it's
not sneak attack. And then he gets to attack
you. If he's got any more reactions. I don't
know what his reactions look like. How many of
his 11 reactions he's used? Yeah. 11 versus two
people. On every fucking attack. Yeah, so 15
more damage. Okay. It's going to make an attack
against you. Okay. 24. Yeah, it hits. I'm going
to keep this page on my notebook because I can't
show it to you guys yet. It's going to be way
later because I don't want to reveal what the
damage calculations are. Is it really low? It's
so crazy. This whole sheet. I have a whole notebook
for this. We are big numbers. 24 to hit. Don't
die. Just don't die. 15 slashing. Free fire.
Okay. You're up. 16. Yeah, I was full health.
So 16 health left. Okay. Oh my god. What I got.
I think. Well, no, I technically still have my
movement. I could just fucking leave here. Got
no more reactions. It's my action, my bonus action.
I have lots of movement. You could throw a health
potion at me. I'm kidding. I don't have any more.
Me neither. I still have my reaction. What reactions
do I have that are useful? Reaction attack. I
just gotta hope it doesn't hit me. Yeah. Alright.
Okay. In this six seconds, the Mare Knight at
its turn now in a berserk state. Mm -hmm. It's
going to use five. It's going to expend five
of its reactions permanently to take five actions.
I'm kidding. I'm kidding. It's going to take
five extra attacks. Okay. Still bad. I still
don't like it. Really bad. Really bad. Really
bad. Really bad. It can't hit. This is you. Cool.
19. I'm going to use one of my parries, which
will miss it. It'll make it miss. Okay. It's
at you again. Because my AC is 19 right now.
I'm going to use another parry. I guess. Let
me roll. Yep. Miss. It's going to go. Locked
in. It's going to attack here. What if he didn't,
though? 22. I don't think I can avoid that. So
yeah, that hits. 18? Yeah. 11 points of slashing,
2 points of lightning. 13, yeah. I'm 0. You're
just a 1. Oh, she has that too? No, that's a
Genasi thing. No, it's a night thing. Right now.
Oh, okay. I'm just going to try to finish off
here. It has plus 12 to hit. And 26. Yeah, that
would hit. Okay. Here is out. And then it's going
to attack a co -op. Once per mire. Tim's attack
misses. 31. 31 hits. Is it being a zero? I mean,
I need to know the damage. 18? Yeah, that would.
Valora. I'm Valora again, okay? Valora. As you
fly, and I want everyone to keep in mind the
time disparity once more. As you're flying in,
as you're flying in towards the cold, You hear
Laura? Your mother's voice. What? Echoing throughout
the hall. And you arrive swiftly into a large
clearing. Is this where we first ran into the
big mushroom guy? like like through that doorway
that we like hid through like ran through and
shut beforehand but give me one give me one moment
here um you you as you kind of like as you as
you make your way into the clearing you see two
shadowy figures on the ground and your mother
between them she looks towards you with her usual
like eyes what are you doing here what are you
doing down here what's going on well laura come
here is phantom still sniffing out like does
he notice anything weird about this phantom is
scared Shaking. Okay. And in fact, it's taking
a defensive stance. I... Laura? Pull my glaive
off my back? The Maronite advises against that.
The what? Oh, wait, it's not saying that. I just
feel that. You're feeling it. Yeah. Suddenly,
your mother's eyes become blackened. She opens
her mouth and shadow tantrums come out as the
form takes shape. As you see this shadowy figure
in front of you and tilts its head at you. It
advises you to leave. It advises you to forget.
You don't see what the figures on the grounds
are. And they just look shadowy? Yeah. It is...
It is not nightly. It does not present itself
as nightly to you at this moment. But it does
have eyes. What are you doing? What's going on?
The Maronite is serving a purpose beyond your
understanding. The Maronite could tell you, but
you wouldn't understand. The Maronite has seen
that you have very recently seen something that
you couldn't fathom, and you have suffered for
it. Now the Maronite's curious about you. The
Maronite... It... It wants you right now. The
midnight will approach you as it begins to slowly
shift up. It has a mighty, all of a sudden, legs
form out of this shadowy blob as it just steps
over this. Starts to back up with Phantom, I
think. She's on Phantom. And you hear your mother
go. No, it's okay. Stop using that. As it's approaching.
I know you're not her. Cool, I'll make a death
save. Okay. Wait, where are my death saves? Here
we are. Okay. You got it. Okay. Not public? In
secret? In secret? As this figure approaches
you, it has a handout. And it's wondering what
you want most at this moment. Just something
to calm you down. Can it sense what she actually
wants? Yes, you have to... Okay. I think... It
really is understanding, I think. She's confused
and she's scared already, even though she's trying
to be brave and trying to figure out something,
but she's so confused. As it kind of like aims
a hand at Phantom, Phantom just lurches down
and growls at it. When it goes to seemingly touch
Phantom, I think she will take a swipe at it
with her glaive. Attack with advantage. Advantage.
I have the killer glaive right now. Um, 20 total.
I avoided a natural one because of the advantage.
Okay, roll for damage. Six slashing damage. So,
because it was at one hit point. And because
it doesn't have a reaction anymore to put itself
at one hit point to endure it. Valora as you
as you jam your blade directly into it. The form
shutters as warmth suddenly begins to return
to your fingertips. That's why I was trying to
scare me away. Gosh. The Maronite suddenly lets
out a loud scream. The room shudders in quake
as this form reverberates and then you see the
shadowy blob turn into A sphere. A spherical
orb. Warp returns. Light. Light is in the room.
The two... You see one... You see there's one
lone figure on the ground. It's Cole. As this
suddenly light is returned, you are in a stone
-like ground. There are no other bodies around.
This place is clean. As this knightly figure
is suddenly reverted to a ball, and you see that
it tries to very quickly fly away. And Cole looks
like bad, bad, right? Yes. And that thing turned
into a ball trying to go away. I think she's
not going to focus on that. I think she's focused
on Cole. And she jumps off Phantom and rushes
towards him, reaching through her pack, but her
healing potion's empty from the other night with
the mushrooms. And she doesn't have anything.
And she starts looking through his pockets, trying
to find something to stabilize him. Oh, you're
looking through his pockets. There's a lot of
potions of various. They're like unlabeled potions.
Like a lot of them. Looking for red. There's
a whole spell book. There is like three little
rocks. There's a bunch of... In one of the bags,
there's a whole bunch of different roots and
flowers and little things. Multiple knives, chalk.
There's a packet of food coloring. She's just
throwing things out, trying to look for... Inside,
there is a leather pouch filled with medical
implements, though, as well. There's a healer's
satchel. Okay. She grabs that. She has limited
ability with it, but she's going to try to stabilize
him. She's... Cool. Yeah. Fire. Smoke. Sounds
are screaming in the distance. Can nobody hear
you? A hand reaches out towards you and the rebel.
Warmth returns to you. Valora, it's before you.
Hey, are you okay? You waking up? I sit up. I,
like, look around. I gotta get you. I'm going
to get you up on Phantom, okay? I'm going to
get you to an actual healer. Where'd it go? Where'd
what go? The monster? The big... Yeah. It ran
away. I mean, I slashed at it and it turned into
a ball thing? I don't know. I just saw you. I
couldn't recognize you at first. It's okay. She
tries to calm herself down because she realizes
that she might be stressing him out. Where are
the other bodies? What? What other bodies? The
thing that killed a whole bunch of people. No,
it... Here, she goes to start picking. It had
some illusions or something. It pretended to
be my mom. I bet they weren't real. I saw it
kill... Does she see anything? The only thing
you see right now, it's a pristine, clean room,
but the only evidence that it was ever here was
left behind from the place where you struck it,
Valora. A black shard. It looks glass -like.
Like very cleanly carved obsidian just left on
the ground. I bet it was an illusion call. Here,
I need to get you to a healer. No, there was
more people. I know it. It's okay. She goes to
try to get him onto Phantom. Phantom's back.
And she picks up the shard after she gets him
on Phantom. I try doing a bird call. As you whistle?
Yeah, like I do the where are you location. As
you do the call, you hear an answer back from
another place. What are you doing? Here, I'll
pick up your stuff, but we need to go. You're
not okay. What direction was it in? From his
perspective, Cole just whistled, and then another
voice from somewhere else whistled back in response.
Is there someone down there? Do they need help,
too? I told you, there's more. I was just trying
to get someone's attention. Okay, just stay still.
I think I got all the wounds covered up, but
you still need help. She just throws his things
into her bag real quick. And the shard. I quickly
check because it's dawning on me that I'm cut
up and whatnot. What do I look like right now?
Bad. Valor was correct in assessing that you
are fucked up. Slashed up, flames, like there
are singes on your body. Good thing you're going
to get a new uniform. I'm asking a question in
DMs. You got it. He can't reveal his secrets
to me. Just a thing I need to double check. Isn't
level up A5E cool, guys? It's so cool. Don't
you agree, Emma? Yeah, level up A5E is awesome,
guys. Oh, Jesus, Emma. One second. I think we
put it in our... Give me one second. Just double
checked. How's everyone doing tonight? You ready
for my stand up routine? Yeah, go ahead. Wait,
no, not actually. How long are you going to be?
So. once there was a this guy was looking to
buy a donkey and he went to the donkey seller
and the donkey seller was like oh I'm all out
of donkeys except for this religious donkey who
only move if you say praise the lord and who
only stop if you say amen Are you guys almost
done, or should I finish the joke? I'm going
to prompt you for something, but if you want
to finish this, because I love this joke. Please,
no, no, no. I don't want to finish it. I don't
want to finish it. It's ruining the moment. In
that case. Valor, give me a perception check.
With advantage. So it's normal. So it's going
to be normal. Because I have two levels of strife,
so I get disadvantage, so it's normal now. 23,
not 19. Keir's way better than me, isn't she?
Or, no, it's Cole's something. It's Cole's secret
thing. The DC was... The DC was... 22. Really?
Yeah. Actually? Yes, legitimately. What? I'm
going to know your secrets. Valora, as you're
rapping, as you're kind of like tending to him
and fussing over his wounds for a moment, you
clock something very interesting to you specifically.
So just to calibrate your knowledge, Cole, He's
a country boy from another kingdom from far away,
overseas. Brought here on, just basically through
a lottery. And sponsored by a lord. So why, oh
why, on his upper arm does he have an Aeon mark?
An Aeon Mark of Detection. That's like what...
That's the Adlers. Adlers have. Yes. I wouldn't
know Owl House Owl Guard. That's the Adlers.
Does this count for my bingo about there being
an Adler? No. The Adlers are on my bingo card,
by the way. Gee. So I'm just letting you know.
You did that while you were tending to him. So
you can store that knowledge. Okay, so that was
a bit ago. Yeah. She notices it, but she's more
concerned with him right now. And she is thinking
to bring it up later, I think. She goes, but
she's focusing on the whistling that he did.
And he's like, and she shoved all his stuff into
her bag that was on the floor, like in a rush.
And she goes, so there's someone else down there?
I think so. There were so many people, I figured,
you know, if I just make a noise, maybe someone
might hear. Might need help. Okay, um... We gotta
be careful. I saw your dad while we were here.
My dad? Yeah, it's a long story. I'll tell you
later. Wait, my dad's down here with that monster
thing? Was he being attacked? No, not at all.
It's a long story. That's why I'm down here.
I saw him and I decided to follow him and I saw
him come down here and I was... Wait, you saw
him, but you were at the church. Yeah, I saw
him. Let's go get that other person. If they're
like you, they might be dying. Okay. I'll ask
you later. And she starts... I think she's not
getting on fandom right now because she has him
kind of laid out there and she just starts going
down. that direction she heard the whistle was
it this way she kind of asked him to there's
a whistle there's another whistle from coming
from that and it is a whistle call a series of
whistles it's communicating to you a warning
and communicating to you a position and communicating
to you do not come close Oh, I heard it again.
I'm going to try and do the quick hand thing.
I reach into her bag. I strapped a phantom to
pull out the little bit of ink. And I'm going
to try and do the quick hand thing. And then...
You will get a response. Come any closer and
I'll kill her. Take... Take... Take her... Out
of here now. Your friend will be safe as long
as you comply. That's not pure, is it? No, I'll
pause. Valora? That's the other one. Valora.
Valora, we should... I think... You're right.
Maybe I'm... We should get out of here. It could
be... No, I definitely heard someone. Yeah, I
think there might be more of those things or
something. It might be a mistake. You think it's
like an illusion? The cold all went away, too.
Did you notice that? Yeah. Look, I think we should
get out of here. Okay, I'll come back and check
later. Bark. Where is the barking? It just goes...
What direction is the barking coming from? And
then you... It's coming from the direction of
the entrance. And you hear a voice goes... Just
goes... Never thought I would be the kind to...
Fall away with animals into... Different adventures,
but... Here I am. We need to go. Come on. Let's
go. Let's go. Let's go. Oh, it's Reinhold again.
Um... Alright. She's worried about Cole. I'm
at, what, one hit point? A half a hit point?
A point one of a hit point? She's worried about
Cole because she knows she didn't do that good
of a job healing him. And he's rough, so... She'll
start heading back towards the entrance. With
Phantom carrying him. As you head back towards
the entrance, avoiding Reinwald? Well... I mean,
it's a straight... It's a straight path, right?
This place is windy. You can avoid if you want.
He's gonna get himself killed if he keeps going,
so we should... Yeah, uh, let's... Let's get
Ramald and get out of here. He shouldn't be down
here. Yeah, I agree. Okay. Probably. Never mind.
She doesn't know that Cole knows. Hey, um, we're
coming. Cool. Face concern. Draw as... We need
to get him to the healer. You see he has his,
like, he has his, like, weapon on his back and
everything. I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine. Here.
I don't need to go to a healer, I'm fine. No,
you, yes you do. Obviously you do. Do not, don't
fuss. I'm going to heal you now. As he places
his hand out towards you, you can lay on hands.
Oh, you're a paladin. 20 hit points. That much
at least heals. I didn't get all of it. What?
It's fine. Let's get out of here. I'll explain
later. We need to get out of here right now.
We're getting him to a healer. No, no, no. It's
fine. It's fine. Let's just go back. No, shut
up. You're going to a healer. You're going to
a healer. No, it's fine. It's fine. I'm okay.
No, you're not. Never trust doctors is what she
always used to say. Don't trust the foreign medicine.
It doesn't work on you. That's not true. That's
not true. Valora, let's at least acquiesce for
a bit. We're going to recall back. Do you see
him? I do. But there's a reason why he wants
to do this. Let's bring him back towards a safe
space where we can talk privately. Hear what's
happened. And then we will fuss about whether
he goes to a healer or not. I assure you, I will
do everything in my power to ensure that he does
so. That he is at the very top of his form. Let's
just get out of here. We gotta get out of here
right now. And don't think I'm unable to persuade
you to going to a healer. It's Dave. walk off
he goes you know blasted house what is this what
is this dog brought me down into she eyes the
dog kind of kind of like looks to the side and
looks to the right okay well the dog's not allowed
in the olive house it's like you know it's over
you know right like they're not allowed in the
dorms and stuff Well, I'm not opposed to strays,
but that's not what's important right now. All
right, let's go. Let's go. We're walking. Phantom
gently, she's making sure Cole isn't going to
fall off. I'm fine. A round will patch me up.
I'm good. I'll be fine. Okay, and I still see
gashes the size of, like, I don't know, like,
canyons. My body's not as big as a canyon, so
I don't think that's possible. Okay, but like,
if your body was like the world, it'd be like
the size of a canyon. Well, the two of you can
banter, so you're not in such a terrible state,
but Koala's no amount of convincing us that you
are fine. Perhaps what would persuade you is
a mirror. Uh -huh. Come now. It's not that far
from here, right? No, not at all. And as you
all leave this, these caverns, as you leave behind
whatever this encounter has wrought in you, And
Valora, as you come away with thousands of more
questions than answers. That is where we're going
to leave the session for now. So we didn't finish
the night, but we did a lot. A lot, a lot. A
lot. Cut through the cool mechanics. Oh, jeez.
What the heck? I didn't think Emma would miss
that that much. She did lock in. I wish she locked
in before she went down there. He actually had
one HP left. So he can use his reaction. Sorry,
they can use their reaction. They can use their
reaction to stop themselves from going below
one hit point. That permanently expends. a reaction,
though. Oh. So he was below, but then kept himself
going. Kept himself going. I see. Because you
had him at 37, then 2, then at 1. He did a lot
of damage. You did so much. You did so much damage.
If I... Wait, that was the 5th attack that was
on me, right? Something like that? Yeah. If fucking
Charles Wilson didn't burn my drop to one thing,
I would have had another turn. You could have
done it. You could have done it. Charles fucking
Wilson. And was that the director? Deeper in
there? Who threatened to kill me? Was that your
director? Is she here? Wouldn't make sense. I
didn't think so either, but it didn't sound like
Kier. It's probably... It's probably the Vanisher
from the episode I got introduced in. That was
back at... What's it called? And then they're
using Kier's thing to talk to you? To write to
you? Or their own thing? Hard to have concrete
answers right now. Yeah. But we'll get to unravel
this later on. At least Eric Avonlea forgot.
He forgot. He's really confused. He ran away
from that counter. He ran down a tunnel. He ran
away from that counter. He was like, wait, why
the fuck am I running? I hope he got lost in
the tunnel. Well, no, no. He knows someone attacked
him. Yeah. But he doesn't know who or where they
went or what they did or how they attacked them.
Like any of the details. It's all gone. How many
of them there were. He won't know that I know.
And that thing technically, if it's not immune
to charms, technically also forgets that information.
After a minute of it being away from us. We might
forget Valora too if it counts as part of the
same encounter. We are in a war band. We are
allies. We are in a war band. We'll see you in
two weeks, guys. We'll see you in a bit. Two
weeks? Wait, we have to wait two weeks? We have
to wait two weeks because next week we're off.
I had to really do as a counter because I would
hate to leave people on a cliffhanger in regards
to this. But I'm glad we did it. I'm glad we
did it. Thank you for coming. Thank you so much
for coming, everyone. Thank you to all the new
people who showed up. This is quite the new episode
to really cut your teeth on. Does this count
as Valora getting to participate in combat? Yeah.
Did I? Also. You made an attack, so. Did I...
Where is my... Oh, there it is. Did I defy long
odds or place hope in the impossible or openly
defy a powerful being or succeed after taking
a risk with long odds? You openly defied a powerful
being, yes. Yeah, you did. I will take the inspiration
point. And, Coel, go ahead. I don't think I...
I don't think I did any of mine. I just fought
for my life and then almost died. You were fighting
this episode. Valora, very important to add that
black shard to your inventory. I added it to
my inventory. Okay. Because that was an optional
thing for taking this guy down to zero hit points.
So you've unlocked something very potentially
really cool. That's an option. And then my dad's
going to be like, where did you get that? Valora.
Oh, no. Where did you get that? Fucking Valora
coming in and kill stealing. And you know what
the crazy thing is? Valora is getting the level.
I'm kidding. I'm kidding. We don't do that. We
don't do that. I get a tenacity point. I get
a tenacity point for killing it. I can crit someone
for free now. Not that it matters. Not like we're
going to fight, but if I get really mad at you,
I can go bonk. And you'll get crit. Oh no, he's
really hurt. And then Reinwald will be charmed
by me. Reinwald will think it's so charming that
I did that. I think Reinwald will be very angry
and can resist. I think resist charm. Yeah. Or
dropkick you with smite immediately. But what
if he deserves it? The fact that it came down
to Charles Wilson. really is what's doing it
for me. It came down to him. Charles Wilson.
Though all that other stuff you gained in there,
too, was very helpful. No, I mean, that's great.
If he just went down, like, a round earlier...
And hey, you know what Koala and Kier did? It
did over... If it wasn't just... It was just
pure, like, uncalculation. Like, just pure numbers.
They did over like 600 points of damage. We did
like a third of that in round one. Yeah. I always
do the damage up front because I hate when people
hold it too long. I like to just get everything
clean and done. Can you use that against us?
I used my fucking wyvern poison. Oh my. Yeah.
Your reaction to when the thing, his gimmick
came up where he just undoes it and siphons all
of it. I was like, cool. Well, now you know that.
If anything ever happens again. We did way better
than I thought we were going to. Yeah. I did
not think he came down to halfway, let alone
zero. So that was very cinema. That was very
cinema. Level up. Can Kira and I level up? Snubbed
again. Kira and I could level up. You know what?
No. Thanks for coming. I don't need to yell at
Kier for getting us into that mess. But boss,
you got the black shard. Isn't that cool? Here's
the thing is now I have to report what happened.
Boss, you ever heard a lie? I wasn't going to,
but now I have to. Okay. But now are you implicated
too for trying to help her? We'll find that out.
No, I don't think I would be in trouble. I was
trying to clean up the mess. That's true. We'll
find out the questions. You have questions? We'll
probably answer it. Drama. Hygiene. Fun. Melody
Bowl. Adventure. Fighting. All that and more.
on the next episodes of Ironman Dawnbreak. Hey.
See you in two weeks. See you next time. Bye.
Bye. Outro Music The winds have been whispering
of what's to come. Foreboding whispers, whispers
