Yeah, hi. I'm Albert. I am playing Cole, who's
just a little guy. I'm Jenny and I play Valora.
What language? I made that up. I made it up.
I wrote gibberish. You asshole. I wrote gibberish.
You asshole. I literally was like. And then nothing
else. I was like, I don't know what language
he's speaking. I'm not sure. Is he doing like
a Zatanna thing where he's speaking backwards
and I have to put it into like a backwards translator?
It took me 30 minutes to write. I wrote complete,
like, it's phonetic from like Vietnamese, but
like, it's just bullshit. I was like, I don't
know if Vietnamese is well enough to know if
this is actually Vietnamese he's speaking. I
was like, I don't think so. I don't know. I think
you'd be able to tell if you ever heard Vietnamese
spoken. I was going to say, there's no way. You
said it with such confidence that I was just
like, yeah, Tim learned a language for this.
I don't know what language he learned. There's
a lot of languages in the world. I guess I don't
know them all. That is Vietnamese. That is Vietnamese.
There you go. For the Vietnamese fans. Wait,
wait, wait. Sorry. Oh, and I know didan. Didan?
Yep, yep. Didan? Didan? What does that mean?
Are you a chihuahua? named Kissy. And Titam,
which my current dog also understands, they both
understand it as, you want to take a bath? And
that would send them running. That's so cute!
It's bath time and they're like, fuck off! Oh,
cutie patooties. Oh, Zenny's doing their pulls.
And I remember Moscow! Oh, a ten pull? What's
our pull? Oh, shit! i've i've also been um i've
i've gone down the gotcha game i've done down
the gotcha game hole um not just an actual got
the love and deep space one the one with the
pretty boys oh no yes i'm gone The one where
they like, I'm sorry, but you're not allowed
to talk about the possibility of them kissing
each other. It's not allowed. You're banned from
the subreddit. You're banned from the Discord.
Really extreme. Really extreme. Oh yeah, you're
not something for thinking about it. How dare
you think about boys kissing. You're not allowed.
But yes, I am trapped in the gacha world. So
what are our polls for today? Speaking of which,
so when I've done this before, it was my very
first actual D &D game, D &D campaign, official
one. And those back then were called Candle Crates.
But now, this stream, the gacha polls are called
Ira Brin Bins. Or Brin Bins. Wait, that's so
cute. That's so cute. We'll have Kate draw art
of each character and the card like one star,
two star. Oh gosh. I would legit love that so
much. Also, my stream says we're offline. Do
I need to? Oh, nevermind. My fault, my fault,
my fault, my fault. So. Before I announce all
the new polls, all the new people in here, we're
going to go ahead and just do some polls real
quick. Everyone gets a free one. Yay, polls!
Our daily poll. We got to do our dailies. We
got to do our dailies, yeah. This is bad, guys.
This is bad. We're gambling in a whole other
way. All right. So let's start off. Emma, please
roll a D100. Okay. Okay. And there's a new rule
for when I announce all of the characters. Okay.
We can take a vote. A vote right here, right
now. If you are displeased with one person's
placements in the rarity... You can choose, we
can vote on one character to move them up one
rarity or move them down one. I love that you're
like, I open it to the committee. So can we eventually,
like over time, as we keep pulling them, get
them into the negatives? But yeah, and then they'd
be super rare. We just keep bumping Robin up
the entire time. Just keep getting Robin up.
Well, what's it called? There can be multiple
versions of a character that are different rarities,
you know what I mean? Yeah, Robin Summer Edition.
So, yeah, Robin Summer Edition is, what, a five
-star, but then Robin Every Other Edition is,
like, one -star. Robin Summer Festival, four
-star. So far, his Hot Springs is the version.
Ooh, Hot Springs Robin. We should do a Batman
and Robin, but the Batman is the Phantom. Yo!
The Phantom. The Phantom of the Drama Club. The
Phantom of the Drama Club is a five -star poll.
And we'll have Batman and Robin. And he's just,
like, tied up. Okay. Excellent. Oh, 100. 100.
I'm rolling. 92. Okay, so I put everything legitimately
onto a Google Doc. I reconfigure the percentage
rates. So you have a 5 -star character. Roll
a d20. Oh my god, guys. My first 5 -star. 18.
18? Yes. You have rolled... Oh my god. The character
you've gotten is Hylian Izzelin. Oh! That's so
cute! Fucking perfect, actually! That's perfect!
Aura takes the card, hides it under her pillow.
Like, what the fuck is this? She's like, you
don't need to know. Hylgen looking at the iron
being like, when did they do this? When did they
draw this? Is it like him coming out of the water,
you know, like pushing his hair back? That's
hot springs. That's hot springs. I don't know.
Five star Hylgen. That's a pretty big deal. I'm
planning to introduce a new tier of rarity soon.
That's like 2%. But the thing is about these
characters is that in the game, you can date
these. If you pull them, you can date. them their
data got it so you can date hilton if they're
if they are a six star two percent character
i'm gonna call victor get online now they have
custom voice lines so we get hilton to pre -record
without any of our knowledge like i wouldn't
put it past him to have reached out and get people
to like voice things oh and victor wouldn't a
heartbeat victor wouldn't yeah he would And to
me, this is what he took coding classes for.
I'm starting to suspect. It's not going to work
for this. I've been looking into it. I'm proud
of you, Tim. The question is, though, would Hilgen
be a dateable if it's not Aura? In this weird
AU. In a couple years, once Aura's dead. I also
think for the sake of us making money, We would
have to time this earlier than Blackguards before.
Oh, yeah. Pre -Aura Hildren. So he's really moody.
That means in canon, he'd break up with the player.
Eventually. I love it. I love to be hurt. Maybe
the player dies. Yeah, exactly. I'm here for
it. Continue with your pulls. Emma, you're going
to die. You're getting broke up with. You didn't
get the dateable version. You just got the five
star. Oh, I didn't get the dateable version.
Okay, I just got the five star. But if we vote
it up, then he will be dateable. That's true.
We need to see your guys' polls first, though.
Please roll a D100. Okay. 67. Alright. Roll a...
Roll a D20. 15. Congratulations. You are the
owner of Skaan Barakas. Oh. Yeah, Skaan, the
dragonborn. Skaan is the dragonborn, right? Dragonborn
friend. Oh, yes. He's like, yeah, let's go. A
three -star character. Berserker. Okay. You got
a tank. Okay. I'll take it. I'll take it. Big
laser. Well, I mean, I have Reinwald already,
but I'll get you tanks. Big dudes. I'm okay with
that. Roll D100. I'm going to get another Robin.
92. You got a fucking five star! Five star, Jenny!
Oh, I got the same number as you. Did you also
get a Hilgen? No, I just got the first one, the
92, but now I got a nine. You got a nine. Holy
shit! You pulled one of the new ones. You got
Vesper Vunga. Vesper! What the fuck is with this?
It knew what we wanted in our hearts. Oh, Vesper.
I love Vesper. And we got the two people we're
going to fight at the beginning of the Acorn
League. Vesper and Scott. If I have their card,
is this like in Super Mario where if you have
their card, you do extra damage to them? City
Ghost, keep gambling. You will win. And Zenni,
you got a 10 pull. You're going to have to whisper
to me, Tim Don Tran, all 10 D100s and D20s. Yeah,
Zenni, you got to put in your numbers. You know,
most gamblers quit before they hit it big. True.
I just don't like giving away my money. It's
so hard to get. You're not giving it away if
you win it back. Exactly. I heard some wisdom
recently too that reminds me of. If you hit 100
years old, you're set because very few people
die above the age of 100. True. very few what
hold on wait very few people die above the age
of 100 yeah like very few people die at the ages
100 or above so if you make it to 100 years old
like you're good so here's the thing if you win
the lottery you could put it on black and if
you win it's like you won the lottery twice think
about it Do I want to make it to 1995, though?
That's the question. Is that something I want
to experience? I don't know. Announcing the new
additions to the pool that will dilute you from
getting the ones you love. One stars. Robin Atlee
restrained. So this is a robber that's tied up
and being beaten up by theater kids. That's at
least got to be true. By theater kids. Okay.
Avexia. Who? Who? The one -time character that
showed up in the very beginning of Ira Brynn.
She's the baker at the store. She's the baker
at the store. Oh! Okay, okay, okay, okay. Got
it, got it, got it. I'm not coming back. My queen.
My baking queen. New two -star characters. Jerry.
I love Jerry. No, he's higher than two stars.
Jerry's gotta be a three. When you have Jerry,
it lets you change the background music in the
game. So you want to pull him. Higher than two
stars. Jerry and Poundcake. Poundcake. New three
-star characters. There's three of them. Rod
Rockdale. Ew, no. I love him. Honestly, he deserves
to be higher. Roland. No! Roland! This is about
accurate for Roland. And Skawn. Baraka's gone.
I love Roland. Four -star characters. I'm going
to look at the chat right after I say this. Melody
Fidelity. Oh. Uh -oh. Uh -oh. Oh, no. There's
the set. Oh, no. Oh, dear. There's an upset.
Hit Sadako. Four stars? Gross. No. He bought
his way there. One star. He bought his way there.
And finally. Hit Sadako is like the guy that
you like, you know, when you start the game with
a promo code, you get him for free and they act
like he's a rare character, but he's really not.
Oh my God. Yep. Okay. Yeah, you're right. And
our very first dual unit, a pair unit, Coco and
Squee. Coco and Squee! I'm okay with that. Yeah,
that's good. They are definitely four star. Two
plus two equals four. True. They're both two
years old. And now the new five -star characters.
We have four of them. Besper Vanga. Quincy Garvey.
Ah, Garvey! True. Humphrey. Humphrey! And Hildyn
Islin. Hildyn! So we all vote to bump Hylian
to six stars, right? To make him pre -ora dateable.
Yeah. What's going to be bad is that he's not
obtainable now because if you guys pulled, I
don't have the six star characters coded yet.
It's super rare. He's just yours. No one could
pull. It's still loyal. I'm going to DM. Hey,
yo, Victor, hear us out. What would it be like
to date Hildren before he wakes up with Aura?
For research and our gacha game. Also, send voiceless
voice lines. Also, send voice lines, please.
Tim, you can check in the Discord. That's a lot
of polls, Andy. It's a 10 poll. Got two five
stars already. Okay. Oh, all the D20s equaled
up to 100. That's fucking nuts. Exactly 100.
Maybe Zenny will get a rare Hylian before we
upgrade him to six stars. I'll get to you on
that later, Zenny. Good pulls, team. Good pulls.
Okay, so any dissent? We can't pop anyone up
to six stars yet because the six star category
is his own category. Jerry deserves to be higher.
Yeah, I think Jerry should be higher. And then
I think there are currently snipers trained on
your location with like guns that shoot bricks.
If you don't move Melody up to five. No, Melody.
Melody is already too high. We got to pick one.
We got to pick one. Jerry up. I think we bump
up Jerry. Jerry up. Does it have to be unanimous?
I'm sorry, but it's out. It's two to one. Okay.
But you also said Jerry. So Jerry is now... No,
I agree. Jerry should be. Okay, so Jerry is now
a three -star character. And he can change the
music. He can change the music on his card. That's
like a high tier of skin in League of Legends
to pay for if you can change the music. So Jerry
should be top tier. Epic level. Yeah. Jerry as
dateable. That's only a six -star category. We
have to make money on the dateable characters.
We're like, Kate, we need you to draw some sexy
artwork. Wait, did you make her melody a four
-star so that way even if we did bump her up,
we still couldn't date her? Guys, what I'm thinking
about is that you know how there's like... Like
Robin, Summer, like very different variations
of a character. Like the six stars are the ultimate
version of a character that they're also dateable
and they're only six stars. So you have to put
in money. You have to keep gambling and waste
all your life savings so you can date some pixels.
So it's got to be like the Melody Melody Bowl
is like the five star. So what you're saying.
What you're saying to our viewers is that if
you donate bits or give subscriptions. Go to
EN Publishing. Or go to ENPublishing .com and
use promo code SONGLOVEN to get 5 % off your
order. It comes with a free 10 -pole. Oh, no.
Oh, no. And I just got pets and sidekicks from
them. And you can have a pet unicorn. A pet unicorn?
I'm gonna. Yeah, it's in the book. There's so
many pets in the book. Emma, you gotta check
it out sometime. I put it, I sent it for our
game. The sidekick stuff is pretty cool too.
I like the, what's it called? It was a very fun
way to incorporate NPCs. Gonna have an army of
blink dogs. And you know, I didn't say any of
that directly, but you know, it could be implied
that if you... you know, used. If you send us
proof of a purchase on EM Publishing using our
promo code, you get a free 10 -pull. This is
so bad, guys! Hey, hey, look at this this way.
If we were greedy, I'd give you at a reduced
price. Alright? It's a 10 -pull at a reduced
price, which is what I was going to do, but Albert
was so persuasive that we were dead. Ugh. No.
Jenny just telegraphed it. But who wants to do
the recap? Oh, my God. It was... I can't even...
Well, each group run their fight, right? Oh,
and then we met the rich guy who was a fucking
asshole. Yeah. Get evil ass as music. Yeah, we
started the Acorn League proper. This is a hit
scene. We started... I gotta turn this a little
bit down. Oh my gosh. Man. I saw you looking
before I heard the music, so it's like the jazz
music snuck up on us, starting with you. I don't
know why I look up above me. I was like, where
is Albert looking? Every time Tim puts on music
that catches me off guard, I always look up for
some reason. I do that too. Okay, so we began
the Acorn League proper. The first match was
Valora and Reinwald versus Robin and apparently
only Robin because VP was nowhere to be found.
But we managed to distract the referee long enough.
that we were able to spot there was a band approaching
led by Jerry. And Cole was able to find VP who
had been distracted by Free Candy and get him
to the match. Thus, we were able to have our
first match. VP almost soloed the two of them.
It was intense. I knew VP was going to be scary.
I knew it. It was scary. VP had his own boss
music. They were singing in Latin. But all the
same, luckily, Valora and Reinwald were able
to win by the skin of their teeth. While we were
watching it, Lucia did maybe accidentally let
it slip to Cole about Pomeranian Tamsin. And
then Cole read her mind and found out that she,
like, kills people and uses their bodies and
something about the hands from beyond and skin
suit. And maybe she's a flesher. Who knows? Anyway,
that's either here or there. No one knows that.
A flesher? Wait, what's a flesher? I don't know.
I don't know. Anyway, so then we moved on to
Lucia and Cole's. first match. But before the
match, we ended up running into who Timmy described
as an older man, but apparently he's not that
old. He's only like a third year. An older student
than you. I know, but we all were like, who is
this old man? He's this old man coming to pick
on this child. I'm just here to bully these kids,
man. But he's like a dude in like a... I picture
him as like he's got like a fedora, but it's
like... He's like a gambler. So like he's like
he's got like the like if like adventuring from
Honkai Star Rail, but like make him ginger like
with the hat and everything. But like less cool
because his name is like Hit Me or something.
Hit Sadako. Hit Sadako. Yeah. Well, yeah, we
don't know his middle name. It's probably me.
Yeah. Hit Me Sadako. But he is from a big family
and Kanika Rich. Bad news. He mints money. And
apparently he is maybe sponsoring Melody. He's
working with Melody somehow. So he just came
to kind of bully Lucia a little bit. And Velour
like told him off for being a weirdo. We had
our match, Cole and Lucia versus Antonello and
Leilani from the Blue Wolves. We smoked their
asses like real quick. Hold it. No, no, no. Lucia
set up all of those attacks. If she didn't do
what she did, I would not have been able to take
them out. So it was a fun teamwork moment. Then
we took a little break to go check on the single
matches. We found out that Marcellus unfortunately
lost his match. And we also found out that Tula
won her match, but in the second round she was
disqualified because she put... She put a man
in a chokehold, like a really bad chokehold that
would have killed him. And we discussed sandwiches
for a little bit. Apparently Tula knows to text
thoughts and realizes that she can't read Cole's
mind. Cole told her, that's rude. Don't read
people's thoughts without their permission. How
dare you? And people were like... But we chatted.
Isn't that rude? And Tula and Cole had a fun
little chat. And then Cole had another chat with
Reinwald, where Reinwald tried to open up and
talk with him a little bit. And Cole went, mm
-hmm, mm -hmm. um you know uh about you know
just stuff they talked about lucia they talked
about just like all sorts of stuff um and cole
maybe uh let it slip that he's less he's not
as optimistic as he likes to put on the the the
air that he is um that uh but whatnot but we
pick back up uh yes we are starting The next
match, it is Vesper and Skaan versus Valora.
I was like, I don't remember that. I did not
sign up for that. The semifinals here in the
Egg Corn League. Woo -hoo! Woo -hoo! All right.
With that said... Let's play some freaking D
&D, guys. Let's play some A5E. D &D A5E. Level
Up Advanced 5th Edition by EN Publishing. EN
Publishing, who we are affiliated with, and you
use affiliate code. Use affiliation code for
your polls. Where's our link? Can I put the link
in there? It's promo. There we go. Promo. Okay.
Velora, you walk out. You walk out onto the little
arena where you have already been put up. You
have already faced mortal peril on there by the
hands of a strange young man from the Golden
Moose. But now, as you walk up, you see... Already
awaiting by the very middle of the arena is Vesper.
Weapon sheet at the side. You see that they look
towards you, and you see Skaan in the back just
doing stretches. Not his sound effects! Lucy
and Cole seeing these seeing two of them come
out you see Ryan Wald has taken on a new appearance
a sort of like chitinous sort of like stone carapace
has formed around parts of their of his body
he also looks faster It looks like natural stone
has taken over parts of his body. A second set
of armor. Vesper regards him for a moment before
looking at you, Valora. And smiling. Um, they
go. I didn't think it would be so soon that the
two of us would be contesting one another again.
Honestly, I was surprised we didn't do it day
one. Too busy with the party. Yes, there was
much. I'm glad, though. And this time, I will
not dishonor you with a half measure. I know.
And I know you honor me as well. But I am letting
you know, Valora. This time... I have much to
fight for. Please. Give me your all. You're guaranteed
it. They hold out a hand towards you. She takes
it. With a firm grasp, they let go. Eustace just
goes, All right, both teams, please get into
your proper positions. Tim, while they were having
that conversation, I just leaned over to Lucia
real quick. I'm gonna go use Little Olive's room.
I'll be back. The what? The Little Olive's room.
I gotta pee. I run off real quick. I'm just running
in, finding the bathroom real quick, and as soon
as I'm alone, I kind of reach over to my kind
of... bicep kind of squeeze it a little bit like
wince just for like a moment and I'm gonna cast
see invisibility on myself yes and then just
like stand there for a minute just so that way
it's not awkward and then I will return you feel
your very blood like flare up the heat pricks
the back of your eyes um this is a different
kind of this is a different kind of spellcasting
but As you kind of catch your breath afterwards,
the heat sort of like sapping energy from you,
the face comes back on, you are prepared, and
you head back out. Just quick. And by that time,
the two get set up into the proper positions
of... Valora, you can go ahead and put you and
Rywell, whatever you want, in your side. Heck
yeah. I want to be behind him. But also up. Okay.
So, let's see. Let's see. As Cole's in the little
Aldo's room, you see next to you your future
opponent sitting on the chair over. Killarin
and Kailani, who had won their fights. You challenge
Killarin. Is this sort of like... Elven individual,
but it's very light in the expression. A little
bit of a taller face. Hair back in a bun. Ears
fully present. He has a very pristine exterior.
He has a little teacup with him. It smells nice
wherever he is. He gives off a sort of tranquil...
atmosphere. And of course, Kailani, whom you
already met, the twin of Lailani, but has a more
serious disposition. Hair's more loose. Arms
crossed. Just focus on the fight ahead. You do
catch this. As you kind of look over, you see
you catch Killarin's eye looking over towards
you. And then he just goes, Excuse me. Oh, hello.
Hello. Killer Anatola. I'm your future opponent.
Hi, Lucia. She kind of shoves at her hand. Nice
to meet you. I've heard of you. Grabs your hand
and shakes it. And just goes, I just wanted to
let you know that I'm excited to test my abilities
against you. Yeah, give it your all. I'm really
excited to be here with you guys, too. Would
you like to share some tea with me? I love tea.
I have jam. And he just goes, that would sound
wonderful. Because I have some old stale biscuits,
and she's pulling out her little... Well, I would
hate to waste them. No, listen, we should have
a little treat before we, I don't know, hit the
dirt? Hit the court? I agree. Hit the hay. Hit
the hay? Doesn't that have to go into bed, though?
What's like to like, before we... Hit the...
Hit the... And they're just, they're full on
spiraling. He does make the tea. He goes, I think
hit the dirt sounds fine. I don't know. I'm still
getting used to all this combat stuff, you know.
And Kailani goes, hit the pavement. Oh! Right!
Hit the pavement. That's good. Thank you. Thank
you. Thank you. Killaren, who has this really
nice -looking tea box, is an intricate setup
where he can heat it up. He pours it into this
nice little cup and hands it over to you. Careful,
it's hot. Oh, they're teacups. They're so cute.
And she's very, very gentle as she takes it.
It's so pretty. They teach us how... My dad and
I would drink... Go ahead. No, you go. You go
first. They teach us how to make our own teacups
in the reverend. Where I'm from. You made this?
Yes. Oh my gosh. Do you sell them? My dad and
I have open tea ceremonies all the time back
home. Maybe I could send him some. I apologize.
I don't sell them. I give them away. Would you
like one? Aww. I would love one. If it means
a lot to you, I would love for you to have it.
And I think as she's like saying like, oh, my
dad, it's that thing where it's like, all right,
my dad's dead. Right. You know, but you know,
when people like when you're grieving someone
like that's been close to you, you almost forget
sometimes, you know, like, oh, we're going to
go do this. Right. Yeah. So she has a kind of
quiet moment where she re -registers that and
goes, thank you very much. Of course. It's beautiful.
You take a drink of it? You have advantage. Does
he poison me? You have advantage on your next
intelligence, wisdom, or charisma saving throw.
Ooh! But you've activated their personal skill.
He deals gigadamage against those who drink his
tea. Anyone who accepts gifts from them, like
a fae. It is genuinely pleasant, calming tea.
By this point, Call comes back. Skawn just goes,
Alright, yeah! I'm gonna take you out! And you,
points at Reinwald, just goes, and just goes,
Oh, cause you're made of stone. Doesn't mean
I can't chomp right through ya. What? Are you
gonna eat him? And Eustace goes, That's not allowed.
She goes, I'm just bantering. Well, you know
where you're going? You know where you're going,
Skaun? To the victor's palace. Down. No, you.
Down, down, down. You down. You are going down.
No, you down. You so down. And Reinwald goes,
I welcome. you to take bites out of me. I think
you'll find that you'll get a bite more than
you can chew. Then Skaun goes, No! Nuh -uh! You
ever notice how no one at this school really
knows how to trash talk? She's sipping her tea.
She takes another long sip of her tea and goes,
honestly, people just talk a lot here. Yeah.
They go to trash talk each other, but no one
knows how, so they just kind of double down on
how not good it is. Scott goes, who's saying
that over there? Yeah, who's saying that? I have
good ears. I have good ears. But yeah, Cole's
obviously back. And he just goes, everyone in
their proper positions. And you see Vesper goes
ahead and just takes in a deep breath. And he
just goes, and begin. Roll initiative. And then
Vesper is gone. And Vesper vanishes. Hey. I always
roll below 10 initiative on any high -dex character.
Guess who's got to pull out a thousand sheets.
I should have done this earlier. I should have
done this earlier. Strange. Maybe doing this
earlier would have helped. Timmy, I'm going to
change your life. Hold down alt and double click
the token. You get a level up. Yay! Damn! You
get a level up. As long as it's actually tied
to the character sheet, it'll do that. Oh yeah,
they all are. Yes. Okay. I now have to bring
up the fucking initiative tracker. Samara, why
are you hurt? I just noticed her health and I'm
like, what did Samara take damage from? She hasn't
recovered from the mock battle. Goddamn. Goddamn.
How about that? There you go. I feel healthier.
Vesper rolled a one. They'll use... they use
they'll use their um they they'll use a um exertion
point vesper's like i got to i gotta vanish i
gotta i gotta go ghost there you go 14. okay
is that 13 scone um i wish they came on to the
thing that was scone yes one second i've clicked
their token Well, I wrote nat 20, but that's
wasted. No! It could be Reinwald's. Yeah, Reinwald's
nat 20. Reinwald got a fucking 4. No, he got
an 18! Oh, darn. He got a 4? I thought he got
the 18. Wah -wah. Okay. So... Here we go, bonus
action. Bonus action. Vesper is going to go ahead
and... I'm scared. Bye. Go ahead, Scott, and
is going to hide. Let's see. That is... Damn.
Okay, well, it becomes a 21. The least they can
roll... 18 to 21. The least they can roll is
a 21. If they roll below. That's terrifying.
Chat, no snitching. No snitching, chat. Do I
get to look at the stream? Go look at the stream.
Is Jenny the only one that can't look at the
stream? I get to look at the stream because I...
Get to stare right at him. Yeah. Ah, I see, I
see. Hold on one second. Let me go ahead and...
It's just a little delayed compared to... I'm
just typing something to Albert because of their
thing. My passive perception is also 21. Ah.
So. Okay. And now to switch layers. Oh, your
passive might be high enough, Lucia, to know
where Vesper's at. Oh, that's right. I didn't
even think of that. Let me look at her passive.
Because you have good passive. Oh, I've got 22
passive. Let's see. I believe... I don't know
if that does anything. Oh, actually... One second,
sorry about this. And the professor's going to
make an attack with advantage. Oh. Doubled nat
2s. You see Reinwald, like, looking over, she
goes, they seem to have disappeared behind the
front. And it immediately turns and clashes.
his blade against an unseen force that suddenly
strikes viciously from seemingly nowhere. Yep,
this is what I mean. This isn't invisibility?
And then it's Gon's turn. Gon stomps the ground.
And rages. Jesus. And is going to come up. to
Reinwald. And it's going to use... the axe. Sorry
about that. Real quick, as he rages, fire swirls
around him. There shouldn't have been two attacks,
my bad. So here we go. So he rolled a 21 to hit.
Eight slashing for fire. Against Reinwald. Against
Reinwald. Give me one second here. I got to do
some calculations real quick. Because I forgot
to put Reinwald's temporary hit points down too.
Because when he did the thing. So give me a moment.
Reinwald, do the thing. I love how Vesper's just
not on the turn order anymore for me. Oh, shit.
He's on the GM layer. He's that far gone. What
did he have? I'll just... I'll put me on the
turn order. I'm 14. There you go. Oh. So that...
So all... So... Great ability. So Scott hits
Reinwald and immediately the stone... Carapace
falls off and just crumbles. He's the only way
he wants from that. Well, that's better than
none. Yeah. But it was good. It was good. So
this fiery strike, this scorn comes in and the
heat swells immediately. Valora, even though
you're far away, you are sweating. You can't
imagine how Reinwald is right now. Valora, you're
up. All right. Do we have... I'd have disadvantage
attacking Vesper or not because he's not invisible.
You can't see. I know I can't see them, but we
know where they are because of their attack,
right? I don't know for sure. I'll let you attack
with disadvantage. I don't want to do that. We'll
go for Skaan then. That was the plan. If we could
see Vesper, we'd go for Vesper. If we can't,
we have to go for Skaan, really. Okay. I... fly...
through Rhino - well, not through Rhino. I go
here. I'm already 10 feet up. I go... up. And
I'll attack Skaan. Oh, wait. Let me double check,
though. If I want to do my maneuver. Um... Oh,
I forgot. I could take... No, I was probably
too far away from Skaan to take an opportunity
attack. Okay. Because I was already up. Never
mind. Sorry. Okay. Um... Actually, okay. What
I'm going to do, actually, from here... I changed
my mind. I'm going to come up to here. And then
do a mounted charge to get advantage against
Skaan. Okay. Which takes one exertion point,
but counts for two tenacity charging for me.
Oh, wait, shoot. My tenacity points didn't reset
on my short rest. Because they recharge in a
short rest, right? Tenacity points? Oh, sorry,
not tenacity. No, no, no, no. My exertion. Okay,
I thought my exertion were my tenacity for a
second. Sorry. Okay, my tenacity's fine. Tenacity
charging is up two. Valora's in the air, right?
Yes. She's flying. Ten feet up. So I get a plus
two to the attack also from being above. And...
I will forego the flanking to go on the other
side of him so that I can stay within range to
help Reinwald. Okay. Okay, let's see. Um, 18.
You'd have the plus two because you're above
him, right? That is the plus two on there, yeah.
Oh, gotcha. Okay. One second. Okay. Yes. That
is it. Okay. I'm going to spend my tenacity point
that I stored up in the last round to make it
a crit. Okay. So 14 plus 10, 24 damage. Okay.
And I'm... going to attempt to charm. Which let
me double check that one if I have to see the
creatures to charm them so that way I know if
I can also use this on Vesper or not. It just
says each hostile creature within 20 feet of
you makes a charisma saving throw. So Vesper
does also have to make the save still. Okay.
Make the save, Vesper. I'll make the save for
Skaun first. And it's a DC 10. Damn. Because
I don't have advantage because of I have disadvantage.
So it cancels out. I'd normally have advantage.
Vesper gets a plus 2 because of a level of expertise.
So 13 and 14. No, I don't think I have expertise.
No, Vesper does. Oh, Vesper. Okay. Okay. Oh,
wait, but my flamboyance still gives them disadvantage
on saving throws for this specifically, actually.
So they do have disadvantage. I missed that last
time. Oh, okay. So I'll roll again. Because my
attacks are considered flamboyant. I'll roll
again for skill 5. Okay. And that means Vesper
rolls normally. Which looks like it would have
succeeded. Because they had that weapon. And
mine was a 10. Skunk goes, ooh, I see what you're
talking about, Vesper. I don't know what they
are. You guys talked about me? No. Good hit,
by the way. Damn. Thanks. Good playing. Would
you like to use Reinwald's ability to also strike
more? I would. Okay. Okay. So I get to attack
again. Let's see. 25 to hit. 12 slashing damage.
Gotcha. Gotcha. And I'm going to take my bonus
actions to do my pull arm savants to go spinny
spin. 16. Just hits. Oh, sorry. Sorry, wait.
I think that might already have the two on there.
Oh, no, I don't have the two on there already.
So 16. Okay, so then just hits. Okay, two. Bludgeoning
damage. And... Let me... Let's see. And a crit.
All right. So I can try again to charm Vesper.
Alright, give me one moment. Five bludgeoning
damage. Let me roll my performance check. Nat
1. Which would still beat their save, but doesn't
work because we do Nat 1s. So... Two slashes
across Skaan. Skaan's taking your blows like
a champ. Normally when people are cut, or when
any animals are cut, they squirm or jump back.
Skaan takes your blows, and you see his big toothy
grin widens more as your strikes find true. Pain
is registering, but it seems like Skaan is enjoying
what you are giving to him at the moment. Okay.
You're just adding more scars on his body that
he's proudly presenting. Okay. Lucia, if we have
to have Vesper, we gotta take Vesper out, not
Skaun. I can see, like, Lucia has a passive perception
of 22, so she can see him, right? Okay. For you,
Lucia, it's very, very thin outlines. You do
have a sense of where Vesper is. But even then,
you're not completely cognizant of, like, their
entire form. But you wouldn't have to sit there.
She points out to, like, where the outline is,
quietly, to Cole. Yeah. He's right there underneath
Velora right now. Ryan Walt's turn will attack.
We got to take him out first. If they don't beat
him. 22. Nice. 22 hit. 13 slashing damage brought
down. I forgot to put the rage hit points on.
That's plus two. Okay. Okay. Reinwald slams the
blade cleaving directly into Skaan. And Ska just
goes, got it? Grabs the blade with his own large
hands and just pulls it out. And Reynwald goes,
they make you different, don't they? But still
standing ground. Ska is obviously haggard by
this, getting hurt by this. Okay. That is the
end of Reinwald's turn. Still saving the smites.
So it's Vespers. Let me move you real quick,
Valora. Thank you. There you go. Okay. Vespers
going to attack Valora. Okay. With a longbow.
Oh, no, they don't have a longbow. Sorry. They're
gonna throw a knife. A knife? No! Hmm? Disadvantage?
No. Correct? Oh, because they still count as
within five feet of me? Um, they're not anymore.
Oh, okay. Um, okay. they're not within my 10
feet range because you're in the air yeah that's
what i'm checking um so they're gonna throw a
knife at you okay i think 22 hits yeah okay mark
doesn't activate you take 11 points of piercing
damage Uh, eight snake attack damage. Okay. All
of a sudden, as you're focused up on Skaun, you
suddenly find this, like, strange numbing sensation
in your shoulder, and it turns to burning as
you look and see this curved knife has dug directly
into your shoulder. Ugh. Let's see. Now it is
Skaan's turn. You're 10 feet away from Skaan
at the moment, correct? Yeah, 10 feet range.
Okay. He's also charmed by her, I think, right?
Yes. Skaan is going to drink a potion. Drink
the potion. eats the glass chomps it uh break
broken glass in his jaw now uh and then we'll
attack reinwald and i'll take my reaction to
attack him when he does okay let's see i think
he might use i don't know he has expertise no
okay he's going to attack That I believe does
not hit. Let me check. That just hits, actually.
Never mind, it's 16. Oh, darn. Oh! 18 points
of damage. Okay. And Valora, go ahead and make
your attack. Okay. 21. Hits. With 13 slashing.
Gotcha, gotcha. I'm rolling higher damage dice
than I did in the last fight, where all my damage
came from the crits and not the damage die. I
was rolling like ones and twos. Now is the time
to roll high, Jenny. Uh -huh. Berserker is hard.
Scary. So much health. Another slash across what
feels like this calloused, like, scales of Skaan.
Your attacks, finding true, very effective. It's
just Skaan that seems really sturdy. Alright.
At the end of that, Valora, it's your turn. All
right. They need to pivot. They need to start
attacking Vesper. We can't do it this advantage.
She says, okay, I'll take my potion as a bonus
action in case he takes a reaction or something
against me. How much does that heal again? A
10. That's 10. Flat 10. Can I try and... Lock
eyes with Valora. You're going to have to give
me a... Let's say a performance check for this
one. Okay. I'm just trying to... I don't want
to, like, stand wave or anything, but I want
to, like, try and, like, lock eyes with her.
And you have to beat DC's Valora's passive perception.
21. Yeah, that works. Cool. I lock eyes with
you, Valora, and then I turn my head and look
directly at Vesper. She looks over that way,
but does that even give her enough information
to negate the disadvantage? You know the direction
of where it's from? I'll go ahead and say that
it negates the... Vesper's advantage. Okay. So
I can't attack without disadvantage. Oh, you
can attack. Yeah, you can attack without disadvantage.
I'll say that. Okay. Cole's guiding you. I think...
I think she understands, but at the same time,
too, she's like, but I didn't figure that out
on my own. So, it's more boring. But I think
she's gonna keep... She's gonna go after Skaan
again, I think, still. Okay. But she is gonna
back away first. Or not even back away. She's
gonna fly up. And then come down to do a mountain
charge. Okay. Damn. Oh, that's sick. Okay, yeah.
to gain some velocity and give herself advantage.
And this does give her a tenacity point, because
that counts for two of her tenacity charging.
And so that gets her to her four. And so she
does get another free crit. Oh, okay. So we're
gonna go advantage. And it's a crit. Oh, no,
wait. Is that... It's not a crit. It's a 17,
yeah. Which has happened a bunch. So I'll have
to still use my tenacity to turn it into a crit.
Can you use your twist the blade or whatever?
Would that apply? I think... Is that a reaction
I take? Yeah, you're right. That's a reaction
I can take. For some reason, I was thinking it
was my maneuver, but it was something else. Okay,
I'll use twist the blade, which I think costs
two points. Okay. Which does charge up my tenacity
more, which is nice. Okay. Twist the blade. So
it's a crit. Go ahead and roll damage. 19. 19.
And I guess I'll roll my performance check. 17
performance. That is Skaan. You're 10 feet in
the air, so... Let's see, so... You see, as you're
diving down, glaive, aim directly at Skaan. Skaan
goes, yes! Come on! Come at me with all you got!
And you see Kailani just goes, Dodge? Dodge?
No. Does Vesper also roll a saving throw? No.
Okay. Oh, because it has to be within 20 feet.
Okay. Because I was doing it more for Vesper,
but that's okay. Alright, do I feel like going
again? It's up to you. Wasn't it up to Ridewell?
Ridewell will allow it if you want, yeah. Yeah,
okay. And we'll take another attack. Which I
can... I shouldn't turn it into a crit because
I should save the crit for a different round.
so that he can do that again yes so 19. okay
hits 10 10 damage berserkers man and i get one
more bonus action back i can't do two i can only
do one this attack i would say going in with
all you got uh you see you see scott's legs his
knee shakes a bit falters just a little bit before
he regains his stance okay let's do one more
pull arm savant 18. uh two bludgeoning shoot
roll 20 did the glitch for me okay i gotta refresh
sorry but yeah that's my two damage and that's
it because i can't do it again because i took
a potion okay my wall is going to i believe he
doesn't have any more potions No, he has one
because I gave him my other one. He's got one
more, yeah. Bonus action. Take that. Pop himself
off. And then we'll attack Skaan. This goes...
This goes... Valora, do you have eyes on Vanga?
No. Very well. And we'll try to chip away at
Skaan. This time, I think he'll push to smite.
Okay. Twelve slashing. Try and resist this! Alright,
he's gonna smite. That... You see... It's gone.
He skids back at the explosion of divine energy.
He just goes, All right. He goes, Still not out.
Reinwald goes, He looks like he's about to topple
over. Okay. Okay, hold on. Vesper's turn. Vesper!
He's going to stand still and use aim at Valora.
Second dagger. Oh, not good. 13 misses. This
time, Valora, you notice it at that exact moment.
You see the glint of the knife coming up towards
you. You manage to maneuver out of it just in
time as this lightning quick projectile flashes
past you. We hear Robin in the distance go, ah,
fuck. Oh, damn it. Robin, no. Flies out. Hold
on one second. Sorry. I saw that. I saw you.
I saw the ping. Pink ping. It's gone. It's gone.
It's gone. It's like, in hindsight, shouldn't
have chomped down. Shouldn't have ate that glass.
Skaan! Buddy, please! Bonus action, drink his
last potion. And then you see he daintily sets
it down. And then he eats it, and then he's going
to attack Reinwald. I'm gonna attack him also.
Skaan drank two potions. Vesper is not having
any. One second. Uh... Whisper is hiding. Okay.
Here we go. Whisper's real good at hiding. Let's
go! Nat 20. Hey, yo. Oh! 22, 34. And because
of Furious Critical... Let's see because Troy's
furious critical adds an Additional d6 damage
due to elemental wrath Which would be like it
which will be lightning damage Does not stack
with success of critical heads Does this one
count as part of the critical damage? That's
very done before score you score a critical hit
after dealing damage to weapon that dealt the
blow is charged with a chosen uh chosen when
you take this fearless critical and now there's
an additional 1d6 damage at the chosen type oh
so now he now he will do from here on now if
uh uh for his proficiency bonus yes so i think
it is part of his attack oh okay that would have
brought him down 35 points of damage to Reinwald
in one strike. 35 in one, I'd be down. And you
see Scar just goes, as lightning begins to envelop
throughout his body, and his weapon takes on
lightning. He deals 1d6 fire and 1d6 lightning
now. I think Reinwald still has some lay on hands,
I think, and I think that's all he's got. You
see Rhino takes a huge hit. Dips. His poise falters.
He holds out a hand towards the ground to steady
himself. He took this wild hit. Well, I mean,
if they manage to pull through and win, it'll
be easy for us. I roll a 16 to hit Skaan. That
hits. Oh, wait. Can Reinwald... Reinwald can
do his thing once a round? Yes. Where I can go
and take another turn? Not once a turn. It's
once a round. Okay, okay. So I shouldn't do it.
Oh, no, wait. Yeah, I shouldn't do it yet. Okay,
I shouldn't make my crit. So I do 10 damage to
him on my reaction. Okay. I mean, I could do
it, but... You could do it. Because it's already
been his turn. Okay. I actually will make that
a crit then. You make it a normal crit though.
Yeah. I make it with my tenacity point crit.
So it does an additional 10 damage. Got it. And
I'll take an extra round from Reinhold before
my turn starts. um so with an extra round i'll
hit an extra turn i mean attack with a an 18
to hit it's um 15 okay slashing um this that
last attack you see uh as you slash upwards he
his guard breaks scones arms fly upwards at that
oh my god he's still up but he stumbles his arms
are like spit like spinning to the side as he's
like kind of trying to get his balance and then
i'll take my bonus action whole arm savant um
which is a crit um vesper's not close enough
to charm i'm guessing So eight damage. I rolled
max. So as you spin the glaive around, as you
smash the back end of your glaive into him, it
crashes against his snout, sends him spinning
that direction. You see that he stumbles, and
he goes, I got more than me. No, I don't. Oh,
no! And falls backwards onto his back. Oh, no!
Oh, my boy! He goes, Skaun just gives a thumbs
up as he's down. Um... To finish out my extra
turn, where did Vesper's stray knife go? Straight
knife? Yeah. I would say it's landed like in
the upper right corner. Can she swoop and pick
it up with the rest of her movement from the
extra turn? Okay. Okay, you swoop down and you
pick up the knife off the ground. And then for
her actual turn. So now you have both of his
knives. Yes. Though she doesn't necessarily know
how many they have. We should have the same number,
right? Oh, that's true. We're only allowed to
have a certain amount, so they don't have more
hidden. A knife! No! So... For her actual turn,
I think she'll have to take an action to try
to spot Vesper. Okay, make a perception check.
It's at disadvantage. Unfortunately. It almost
feels like it'd be smarter for me to... Way...
I have a better idea. They'll probably succeed,
but it's better than that idea. My teleportation
doesn't require that I see the target. So...
I would like to attempt to teleport Vesper. I
went over here or something before. So I would
like to teleport Vesper into this corner. Okay,
charisma save. What's the range of your target
range again? it's like 60 feet 60 okay so definitely
covering that 13 13 fails okay you fee you you
as you kind of like close your eyes and as your
blood begins to run through as you hear the rushing
of blood of your own marked blood you think of
vesper and all of a sudden you hear the shut
I got them, Reinwald. Where? In the corner. And
she's going to swoop in, since that's her bonus
action, instead of an action to search and probably
fail, I'm going to attempt to attack him from
here. Okay. It's probably still at disadvantage,
right? You know the general location. I'm going
to say it negates your disadvantage, but it's
normal. So... Since I know the general direction
too, can I do the same thing with the rest of
my movement and take another mounted charge at
them? Just to be clear, you were on the ground
when you did that. Did you fly up and then...
I figured I'd fly up and do it. Okay, then yes,
you can do mounted charge. Okay. So, okay. I
will do a mounted charge, which charges up my
tenacity, so I have another tenacity point. But
that's all my exertion points. The leaf has reach,
right? Yes. Yes, okay. So go ahead and make the
attack. So Vesper is going to negate your advantage
from amount of charge. Okay. So normal, but at
least I charged up my tenacity. Let's see. 22.
Okay. That becomes a 17. Let me check. That would
still just hits Vesper. Okay. I'm going to use
my last tenacity point that I charged up with
that exertion to make it a crit. Okay. I can't
take another turn, but I just need to get Vesper
done. So 20 damage and another charisma save
against my performance. Performance of 18. Is
the performance still at disadvantage? It's at
disadvantage, but I have advantage also. I have
advantage also, so it negates. So 10 fails. They
are going to use... No, that's okay. I didn't
give you anything. Okay. And that is finally
the end of my turn. Great turn. And technically
also Skaan's turn from before. As the figure
shunts into the corner, your strike, it... It
becomes contested for a moment. As you swing
downwards, Vesper steps on the shaft of your
glaive. Steps hard down on it. And then he comes
in with a back fist aimed upwards. You manage
to just... This sequence of attacks goes by fast
in everyone else's eyes. You manage to dodge
backwards and strike through. You don't see Vesper
exactly, but you see their blood. Okay. Okay.
Reinwald is going to just go see this. Avonlea,
do you have that? I need to take a bit to recover.
I'll be fine. Alright, well it's going to pump
10 hit points into himself. Still has 10 more.
Alright. And I'm just checking a rule real quick.
Someone vamp for me real quick! Do you want more
pulls? Aunt Songwoman, send us money and you
get more things. That's how gacha games work.
And it's not bad for you. It's just gambling.
Great for the kids. It's just gambling for children.
True. Okay. Vesper's turn. Continue using hidden
attacker. Talk out. And it's going to use a bonus
action to assume the raid stance. Raid. And it's
going to use an unarmed strike against... He's
going after Reinwald. Yeah, they'll have to go
against Reinwald. One second. Which I wish Reinwald
was a little bit further from me so that they'd
have to leave my range to go attack Reinwald.
So it's gonna be Valora versus Vesper, I guess.
Sorry, one second. I gotta... It works out for
us, at least. I should have told Reinwald to
just attack if he's... Well, yeah. I mean...
They burn through all their potions and stuff,
so... Oh my gosh, I wasn't even thinking of that.
14 points of damage. I was worried that would
waste the lay on hands. You see Reinwald goes,
all right, I bet. And all of a sudden a hand
chops his neck and Reinwald falls to the ground.
Am I in range to take my attack against Vesper?
You are, yes. Oh, I forgot I have another tenacity.
from getting Skaan down. And I also get one from...
And I also get one from Reinwald now. So I have
two tenacity points now. Alright, so I'm gonna
use my... So do I have disadvantage then? Yes.
Help? Well, yeah, just to make it a little bit
easier. I had a nat 20, but... 15. 17, actually.
They're going to use the reaction to do their
special reach parry. So... This time, as your
glaive comes in... Yes. I'm going to use a tenacity
to turn it into a hit. Okay. A hit. A hip. A
hip! Just a normal hit, though. 15. I rolled
max. They're a rogue. I'm knowing they can't
have that many hit points. They probably are
using health potions. I haven't seen them use
a health potion, right? You haven't? No. Okay.
Marking all the resources down. Oh boy. This
has gone down to it. I think Valora probably
has this, but... I don't know at this point.
It's better for us if Valora wins. You keep saying
that! It's true. Vesper moves. Vesper still got
potions. Okay. Valora, it's your turn. And I'd
have to take an action to find them? Yes. Or
you could look over at me. I'm not gonna cheat!
I wanna win by my own skill. Alright, she's gonna
try... She's gonna try her trick again. Or...
Or I could go... Okay, if this doesn't work,
I'm going to do a different thing. She's going
to try the same trick again because I recovered
one of my magical passages, so I have one more.
She's going to try to teleport them again. I
highly doubt they'll fail again, though, because
my DC's not that high. She's just going to try
the exact same thing. 16. 16 succeeds. So that's
her bonus action. She's going to instead then...
fly down to the center and to the ground and
hold her action to attack once she knows where
they are. Okay. If they get within her range.
Vesper's third Vesper moves. Free action picks
up a longbow from Skaan. Jesus. You landed right
next to him. And we'll move. Does their movement
provoke an attack of opportunity? I think it
has to be... Is there a body in between you?
Hmm? Isn't Skaun between them? Valora's in the
air. Oh, right. No, I'm on the ground now. You're
on the ground? Yeah. Okay, well, Skaun is prone.
Because they're... Well, he's down. Mm -hmm.
Um, I'm gonna... With, uh... I actually don't
think... I was going to say, increasing my AC
won't negate the crit. I'd have to use inspiration
to do that, and I'm not going to do that. So...
So I will probably die. Oh no! Yeah, I think
I'm done. 3, 5, 5. I'll do it. 13 plus 8. Yeah,
it'll do it. How much damage is it? Plus 12.
Jesus. Okay, let's see. So that's 13 plus 8 to
21. It's a sneak attack crit. Exactly. So 43
points of damage total. 33? 43. 43 would do,
yeah, that's my, if I were at max, it wouldn't
matter, I'm down. Damn. But I don't have anything
to negate a crit outside of my inspiration, and
I don't want to use it, so. You don't want to
use it? I don't want to use it for the Acorn
League! Um, you know what? Do I want to use mine?
How many do I have? I'm going to use mine, because
I would rather you win. So rolling again. I thought
fate can't be changed, Cole. This is me, the
player. Fate can be bargained with. Fate can
be gotcha'd. You're going to lose either way.
I just want to be the one to beat. I want to
be the one to crush you. Okay, so the new roll
is a 17. 17. I'm pretty sure miss is, yeah. Arrow
flies by. As the course of the battle just fucking
changed. As Vesper, let's lose the arrow. You
see it comes from on the map to the east direction
directly. And... Whisper's gonna reposition.
Okay. So... That is their last hidden attacker.
Jeez, so I don't know where they are... Still.
You seeing what I'm seeing? I mean, I guess I
can... Right there. Yeah. I mean, the best I
could do is try to see them. I mean, I could
still do Magical Passage because it only expends
if it works. So I could try it again. Put them
right next to you. Yeah, I'll try to teleport
them again. Oh, I'm sorry. Because of the raid
stance, Vesper can't actually move anymore. so
they are in the same position oh because they're
still in the same position um you you def you
definitely knew where the arrow came from at
the very least the direction okay until you bump
into she'll fly that direction she'll go back
into the air though 10 feet and try to Aim down
with the glaive to hit something in that direction.
Okay. Should I assume it's disadvantage? Yes.
I don't know where she goes, but whenever she
stops... Um... Disadvantage is 15. Okay, that's
not hit. But I will use tenacity to make it into
a hit. That hits. Because it will hit. Burn those
tenacity. Burn them. I can gain more in our fight.
I know. We just gotta take you out before you
can. You're here. Um. So. Is that the end of
your turn? Oh, I can take a bonus action this
time. Yes. Because I didn't try to teleport.
So I'm going to go Polarm Savant. Is this one
normal since I hit them? It's still going to
have to be with disadvantage. Okay. 10. I would
have gotten a crit. Okay. If not. Are you...
Use a tenacity. I can't. Use your inspiration.
A tenacity. No. Are you within range? Turn that
into a 20. What? Are you... You make the deal
with ERI, making it 2 -2. Fuck no. No. For the
Acorn League. Not for the fucking Acorn League.
So... So Valora, your strike finds true. You
find that you have like... That was a significant
hint. Though... Though it draws blood and you
feel the light of your blade gets slapped away,
it is... Not as spirited as before. Vespers hurt.
Okay. Are you ten feet up still? Yeah. Okay.
So. Next one can't... They'll be visible. After
the next attack, I mean. Mm -hmm. I'm going to
use a bonus action to potion. And we'll take
an attack against Flora. Another crit. I'm done.
You said that last time. Lucia, you want to use
your inspiration? What if we need them for real
problems, guys? This is real. But you've already
used one, so sunk cost fallacy. I don't know
if Lucia would think this is life or death. This
is a player thing. It's a player thing. I'm not
doing it. Not me. Do you want to go against Valora
in the finals or do you want to go against Vesper
in the finals? I know. Wait, but does the character
give inspiration or does the player give inspiration?
The player. It's what you, Emma, want. It's what
I want. How many do I have? Let me check real
quick. I feel like you don't use yours that often.
I know, but I also don't have a lot. I think
I have one, two. Music is stressing me. I have
two inspirations, so I could give you one now,
Jenny, if you want it. I'm not using mine. I
want to use mine for better things, so I don't
care. Okay, so you don't want it. Yeah, I don't,
but... I want to use mine, but I need to save
it for the fucking interrogation. That I have
to do. Then I will not, to respect Jenny's wishes,
I will not give her the inspiration. Maybe he
just rolls really low. I think even then I'll
still die. It rolls like max. Not max, that's
a three. Division three, five, five. Oh, so it's
the same damage as last time. But a mark rolled
a six. Still not there. Okay. Yeah. So that becomes
21 and then the sneak attack. Yeah, 10 plus 12
will do it. I think I just rolled the same damage
as I did the last crit. 5 and 5? Hold on. Yeah.
What the fuck? So it's literally just a redux.
I didn't think to pick up the bow. So Valor,
that strike finds you. And you find your... The
strike was so precise and thorough that you find
yourself... You find black tinting the edges
of your vision. And as you find yourself sort
of like falling unconscious, You hear Eustace
call it. Because Vanga and Baracus are victorious.
Vesper takes a breath and falls to their knees.
Clutching the cots. Valora, you seeing them now,
you have done a great number on them. It was
very close. She just leans on Phantom as they
go down. Vesper runs over to you. Just goes,
Are you alright? Um... Uh... Let's... Heal first,
probably. It's actual knife wounds and things.
It's bad. And she bleeds out fast, so. Damn.
Then they cut an artery. And then he just goes,
he just goes, you four, rush to the back now.
Go, go, go. Okay, come on, Phantom. That was
an intense one. Valora didn't win. No. So you
didn't. Good job, by the way, Vesper. It's gone.
Ew. Oh, yeah. You came at me. I told you to bring
it. Oh, you brought it. You did that. As he's
being healed. I didn't take the knife out. You
see the medic just goes. Oh, right. Yeah, that's
going to be. Hold on. Okay, we're going to. This
will be painless, but just look away for a moment.
Yeah, sure. I don't believe you, but okay. Okay.
See? Look at that. I'm going to heal. I'm going
to heal. I'm going to heal you, and then I'm
going to take it out, and then I'm going to heal
you again. Ready? Heal. Oh, God. It heals you
again. You are brought back up to full, basically.
Les Burn's gone, I just checked up on, but they
have to, as they're proceeding to another round,
they have to keep to their typical state at the
moment. Well fought. Well fought indeed. I felt
like the winds could have brought it either way.
I... couldn't really tell i mean i knew you probably
weren't doing too good but i didn't know for
sure so well why don't we let my heart tell you
may i uh hold out a hand towards you um sure
they they gently grab your arm and puts it up
to their chest as you uh hand on the heart again
as before but this time you feel the a constant
beat they just go i couldn't maintain my composure
for the entirety of that if that lasts if my
last attack didn't find purchase then i would
have not been able to keep up my technique So
you can't do that all the time? Well, only if
the companion is particularly skilled, determined,
and has a refusal to go down, then I'm afraid
that even the things that I'm best at won't be
enough. Well, apparently not enough for me either,
but... You've pushed me like none other. And
for that, I thank you. You have honored me. Well,
I wanted to honor you a little bit more, but...
Well, well fought, well learned. I wonder, did
Vesper notice when Valora did notice Vesper but
chose to ignore it? No. Okay. Good. I'm going
to have to rest up for the next bout, but...
Thank you. Again. A thousand times. Well, good
luck. Unless you're going against my retainer,
then... I'm wishing you bad luck. And horrible
luck. The most rotten of luck, I'm certain. Yes.
And I will be avenged. Yes! Well, there will
be an attempt. And Skaan just goes, All you do
is stop talking so much. Well, are you okay,
Skaan? Yeah, that's... Ryan will just pat Skaan
on the shoulder, just goes, You took a ridiculous
amount of punishment. I'll admit, defeat does
sting, but... It was earned. Defeat was earned.
Victory was earned. Everything. Now, in hindsight,
our mistake was healing up. Even though you would
have gone down still, I think you had an opening
there. Yes. And I should have known Vesper's
too strong that even they would cut through your
healing. Yes. Still have much to learn. Devastating
strikes on the both of you. Oh no, don't worry.
That's my mistake because I've seen, I've fought
them already. I should have been, I should have
warned you. So it's, it's not your fault. But
very, very well done, Rainbow. We did good. Yes.
You are an incredible partner. It says, I just
wish I've gone to pull my weight a bit more.
That's all. You did? What do you mean? No. Please.
Compared to you. I can't normally do all of that.
You've made openings for me. Yes, but the swordplay
on my part, it's just... You've done... And then
the Medics goes, Alright, well, the two of you
are done. Just cuts in between the both of you.
Did you see? He did good, right? Yes, everyone
did wonderful. Everyone put up a really good
fight. No, but Reinwald specifically did really
good, too. Yes. Yes, he's part of everyone. And
Reinwald goes, But Valora was spectacular, wasn't
she? Now you sound like Marcellus. I'll admit,
I did like that. You did. I did, yes. But would
he have the wherewithal to admit it? To admit
anything? No. He would not. Okay, well, we better
watch the others. Good luck. Unless not. You
too. Um... They just... And Scar... And you see
this goes... One of the men just goes, I'm gonna
have to put... I'm gonna have to put your shoulder
back in. And Scar goes... And you head out. Yeah.
She goes, I hope the next match goes quickly
for their sake. I mean, like, if... If Cole and
Lucia are going against them, I think we got
them in a good state for them. Yes. Maybe we
can still feel a victory through all of this.
If we truly wanted to reach. Because our first
round drained us a lot more than their first
round did, but we did a number on them. And to
put it, if we put it into perspective, they had,
they had a incredible first round. We had to,
wait, since we had quite the fight, as Reinwald
and Vlora come out to Lucia and Cole. Hey. Lucia
runs up and gives her a big hug. I'm so sorry.
Oh, it's fine. Vesper, Vesper and Skaun are really
strong. She is really disappointed, but she's
trying to be cool, so. It was a tap match, gotta
admit. Oh, it's hard I couldn't see Vesper. Like,
I had no clue. Here, do you want some tea? Oh,
sure. Where'd you get tea? From our opponents.
He gave us some tea, and I have some old biscuits
with jam if you want a little snack. Hi. Oh,
hi. It's nice to meet you. Nice to meet you as
well. That was a fantastic combat. Oh, thanks.
Yeah. Vesper and Skaan. You guys are very lucky
to have them in your house. They are pretty intense.
Lucia and I could barely kind of keep up with
where Vesper was. Lucia only... Lucia managed
to kind of point out a few times where she saw
the dust kind of kick up when he was moving.
Oh. You guys will do better, I bet. I don't know
about that. We still have... She nods to the
folks drinking tea with her. We'll see how this
goes. I mean, no offense. Not to say that you
guys would just lose. I'm betting on my retainer
winning. Naturally. I was hoping y 'all were
going to win. I was ready. I already figured
out you were going to fly down a phantom and
I was just going to jump up on phantom's back
and kick you in the face. Oh, yeah. People have
tried that before. I've never had anyone succeed,
though. Maybe you would. Knowing you, you might.
I've seen the way you jump and stomp. Thank you
to OhMyWive for the 22 -month streak. for subscribing
to us. Thank you so much, OhMyY. And OhMyY, that
means you get a free tent pole. Wait, wait, wait,
wait. Not the tent pole. Lucy goes, well, since
we're at a war school, I'm sure we'll have more
opportunities to face each other. Oh, yeah. And,
you know, Yep, I wanted to fight you guys too
in the finals, but now I can cheer for you. Yeah,
we'll see. But we're going to be fine. Absolutely.
You both blew through your first round. Sure.
I think Lucy is also in shock that Valora lost.
You have so much faith in her that she lost.
She's definitely a little in shock, but she's
giving you treats and tea. Ronwald, that was
a big hit you took, and you must have done that.
It was pretty cool. Oh, goodness. Both of them
struck hard and true. Yeah. I hope we can be
able to handle this. My shoulder still hurts
from training earlier, so, you know. And because
OhMyWhite asked nicely, I'll give him a reroll
for the stream. You can use it for any D20 roll,
including mine. Uh -oh. Uh -oh. All right. But
only to give advantage. Well, like, not to say,
okay, now you have to take a low number, right?
Inspiration only is an advantage, is what you're
saying? It replaces the role with whatever. Oh,
it just replaces it. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I'm worried
I'm going to be going into this a little bit
injured. You know what I mean? The good news,
we're only in our first year. We're here to improve.
We wouldn't be here if we were at the top of
our game. You know? We're here to learn. And
you, um, turns to Cole. We're also going to be
facing you, correct? Would you also like to have
some tea? Sure, why not? Hands you a teacup.
Can I, like, sniff it and see if there's any
scent that's off? It is... It is extremely pleasant.
It is a smooth green tea with honey. There's
no slight... No. Wait, actually give a... I have
detect poison if you need. I do too, but I'm
not going to cast it in front of them. But I
do have proficiency in poisoners kit. What a
slap to the face to cast detect poison right
in front of them. I'm not going to do that. Give
a poisoners kit check then. Sure. What am I rolling?
Wisdom? It's going to be wisdom. Wisdom. Oh,
and I do have a plus. Two on that, so 12. It
is a nice smelling tea. Okay. Sniff good. But
it is good to be wary of your opponent giving
you tea. You take a sip of it. Extremely pleasant.
It's very calming. You gain advantage whenever
you pick on your next intelligence, wisdom, or
charisma save. until you take a long rest. Was
mine the same? Was it a save? Yes, it is a saving
throw once, and you pick when you use it until
you take a long rest. Int, charisma, or wisdom?
Correct. The mind ones. That would have been
really useful against Valora's thing. Okay. Well,
thank you kindly. Well, it looks like we're going
to be up to snuff next. Looks like you're up.
Ekbert over there has been watching the proceeds
very closely. Seems like she has a great interest
in the combatants here. Oh. I mean, Of course,
the leaders, two leaders are here, I would assume.
Well, Lucia was her roommate for a bit. Oh, truly.
Oh, Samara? Yeah. Samara's really cool. Samara
has been sitting across the arena for a bit now.
I see her there with her 1 ,000 hit points on
her token. I'm healthy. Maybe you should invite
her to sit over with you guys, you know? Because
it looks like she's sitting by herself. Yeah,
maybe we should move over there. She says, looks
at Reinwald. Yes, I wouldn't mind making more
comrades. I think it's good that all the houses
are connected. Yeah, I agree. Very true to that,
Roland goes. But now... Oh, good luck, guys.
The next connection we must make, I'm afraid,
is lethal force against one another. Okay. I
apologize. I hope I didn't make you nervous.
Not at all. I live for this. You're a healer,
aren't you? Yes. She says almost on the verge
of tears. Healer goes, oh. Um, do you want more
tea? No! I'm fine! I'm also a healer. Who is?
Uh, Killarin. You are too. Uh, yes. My... I'm
part of a monastic group called the Reverend.
We go around, you know, tea is our ceremonious...
Thing we go out and aid group and eight groups,
but we used to until Nevermind That is that is
much more complicated matter what matter for
next time I don't want to take away your focus
from the battle ahead Well, if you win if we
win you have to tell us Certainly. Over some
teapots. Absolutely. It's a deal. Very well.
Um, nobody notices. Oh, no, wait. Oh, sorry.
I've got 22, motherfucker. What do you mean I
don't notice? No, I was going to say because
I can cast it without components, but I can only
cast it without components on myself. So, I'll
pat. Lucia and be like, good luck. And I cast
Freedom of Movement. Aw, thanks, Valora. Do I
know I'm getting a spell cast on me, or is it
just like, thanks, Valora? You can be like, man,
Valora's fucking awesome. She makes me feel great.
I love Valora. So you can't have your speed reduced
or be paralyzed or restrained for an hour. I
don't know if it'll matter. I don't know if it
will. But it might. As the monk fucking stunning
strikes my ass, it probably will. That's true,
actually. Well, they're not level five yet. Certainly
not level five, but they're all gonna. They will.
Oh, boy. I casually continue to, like, just occasionally,
like, rub my, like, sore shoulder next to Reinwald's.
I'm not saying anything. I'm not saying anything.
Well, of course, you're all right. Wants to give
me six hit points. I wouldn't say no, but I'm
not going to ask for it. Reinwald just goes...
My shoulder's just kind of sore, that's all.
Oh, allow me. Reinwald holds out, ready to heal,
until he goes, but wait, you're an active participant.
I wouldn't want to be... I wouldn't want to cheat.
Huh? What are you talking about? Well, you could
just give him a little massage or something.
I bet that helps. Also, this is an injury that
happened before the competition. I kind of came
in already on the back foot. You know what I
mean? I call skeptically at that because he dominated
the whole thing. Yeah, but I took damage because
I decided to pick Lucia up and chuck us both
at the ground. I would like to insight check,
though. I was. I was missing six. I was missing
six. It was a vibe. Oh, sorry, I have disadvantage.
I have disadvantage. 11, not 22. An 11? I mean,
I'm not being disingenuous. I did come in missing
six hit points. I just healed back up to that
same cap. I'm not saying that I want to be healed,
but... Please, Reinwald. Heal me. Make a persuasion
check. Help me. Help me. Oh, my shoulder's so
sore. Twelve. No, it's fine. He's gonna play
by the fucking rules. Fucking men. Ugh. Okay.
He has a point. Hmm? Yeah, I know. He has a point.
Yeah, no, that's fine. I did see... He got kind
of... It was kind of crazy in training today.
Make a fucking reroll. Cole's like, please, Reynwald,
heal me. Reynwald's like, suck it up. Yeah, no,
I'm fine. I'm fine. I got this. I got this. I
wouldn't want to incur any marks against you,
but after your victory, I wouldn't mind looking
after you. Alright. If I was playing any other
character, I would be jumping on that line. Okay.
Talora's looking at it like, um... Okay. Killren
goes, oh! And walks away. Oh, we better go ask
Samara if we can sit with her before they get
started. So we don't interrupt anything. Alright,
we'll see you guys on the other side. Good luck!
As we're walking in, question, because I did
watch the other fight. So Killaren gives me,
like, adept vibes again. They're both definitely
adepts. You've seen martial arts from both of
them. Jesus Christ. We've gone again. The last
fight was two adepts. Okay. Got it. We get no
release. Okay. I do want to say that seven out
of the eight Blue Wolves members have martial
arts. God. All the Archibalds left out. RT, my
man. So, all right, Lucia, same as before. All
right. Killaren can heal, so I think we should
jump him. Okay. And same as before, you're trying
to create openings for me to strike at. You know
what I mean? That thing where you, like, threw
a tree at someone? Yeah, okay, I can do that
again. If you can just swing at him, that'll
distract him enough for me to get him. I can't
believe Valora lost. Yeah, that happens sometimes.
I didn't think she could lose. And I've just
been standing behind her this whole time, and
I never once thought, well, maybe Valora needs
someone to stand in front of her. Well, I mean...
We're gonna win this, she says as she stomps
viciously to the back. Takes her spot. She's
got a lot of fire. I'll walk and follow after
her. Go ahead and take your places on the stage.
Let me try and... Hey, Samara. Can we sit with
you? She just nods sternly towards the seat next
to her. Have you met Reinwald yet? He's from
the Olive House. Yes. Reinwald Astahn from Cadvarum.
Nice to meet you. Holds out a hand towards her.
So I just look down at it. Okay. There we go.
Grasp it. Firmly grasp it! Firm. She's like,
you should have seen her, Reinwald. She's crazy
good. Oh, is that so? Mm -hmm. Well, just another,
just something, just another individual to work
up to, I see. This goes, I have, I have heard
about you, Agbert. You, um, you're undefeated
in these tournaments, yes? Yes, but I don't brag
about it. She's humble, too! Yes! Wonderful!
I didn't mean to offend you if I did. Oh, no!
No. She's just shy! Like, I wouldn't be able
to help bragging about it, at least a little,
so... So you're better than me. Samara just is
so focused ahead. Alright, uh, go Lucia! Go Cole!
Alright, Lucia, same as before, don't use your
crossbow. I think they can do something similar.
Magic only! Yeah. Crack knuckles. The knuckles
don't crack. Tries to crack knuckles, they don't
crack. Um, Kylan and Killaren both whisper to
each other to... Can I read lips? Yes, you can.
Kailani just goes, she's the healer, we go after
her. We're laying this all to Cole. Healer in
goes. Healer in goes. The one standing in the
front over there, we can't really ignore him.
Especially when I feed the Tantanello and Nailani.
He goes, adapt to the situation. I want to focus
on the healer. And then they both break. Alright,
Cole. Here we go. Just try and create situations
for me. That's all you gotta do. Okay. And if
you gotta heal, you gotta heal. You know what
I mean? Lucy is screaming. Are the two teams
in the appropriate locations the ones they wish
to be? Odds. All right. Let the battle commence.
Roll initiative. 23. Oh, crap it. Crap it. Leaning
on Phantom. Tired. Tired now. 20. Nice. Yep.
Dirty 20. How's your shape of Elora? Oh, yeah.
I think they fixed it up good. You know, I bleed
out way faster than a normal person. It's messed
up. Wait, why does she do that? My heartbeat.
Oh. So much faster. Elora's like, yeah, I'm just
bleeding out everywhere. It's all good, guys.
Don't worry about it. Okay, eternal bleeding.
That's where blood is. This is good initiative
so far. Ooh, 10 Kailani. Loser. Don't jinx us,
Jenny! Don't jinx us! 21. Okay, that's fine.
That's okay. Cole still goes first. Alright,
Cole, you're up. All right. Just as soon as this
thing, I'm already here. And we are going straight
after Killaren, who I know can heal. Killaren,
as you get within five feet of Killaren, he's
going to use his personal ability. When an enemy
comes within five feet of him, he can use a reaction
to move a free ten feet. 10 more feet. And use
that. Yeah. Without provoking opportunity attacks,
I'm assuming. Without provoking opportunity attacks.
Okay. Okay. Alright. In that case... What is
this? Okay. I'm going to use a bonus action then
to use light on my feet, which lets me jump 15
feet in a direction. And I would like to just
flip away from Kailani in front of Killaren.
Kailani comes in with an unarmed strike. As she
strikes out, you jump up right above her blow.
You kick off her. with incredible alacrity, land
directly in front of Killaren, who stops. Can
I attack while I'm in the air? Yeah. Fuck yeah.
Attacking from above. Plus two. And then we're
going to make this a... Let's make this a dangerous
strikes. So that's going to be one extension
point. I clicked the wrong thing, but it's fine.
That's a 23 to hit. It hits. Okay, cool. This
is not a sneak attack, so it's just seven damage.
And then we're going to use a point of velocity
to make a second attack. And he has minus two
AC now. Yes. Nice. Second attack. Ooh, net one.
No, no, no. Okay. Better to miss the dueling.
He still has the minus to his AC now. And I have
advantage on the next attack. Let me check what
this is. Timmy is searching up something. This
is the searching song. This is the searching
song. Make a dexterity saving throw. Dexterity
saving throw 23. Okay. You see he just capitalized
on your mistake. He takes you by the shoulder
and pulls you in, attempting to throw you to
the other side, but you managed to roll out of
it just in time. Nice. All right. Any return?
That's it. Okay. Lucy, you get him. I have advantage
on this next attack, so I can sneak attack it.
Kill her in. Is going to... That's not what the
ability says. Shit. Most of his shit is drinking
tea right now. You can't do that in battle. Delicious.
He could. Uncle Iroh. He could be like a gentlemanly
fight. He's like, yeah. This is my newest blend.
Yeah! As you strike from above, swiping upwards,
his arm blocks the attack, cuts to his sleeve,
and you see just measurements, just everything,
every bottom is measured, poised, as he just
slowly takes a stance and comes in to strike
you, Cole. Okay. Oh, here's a quarter step. Miss.
14, too low. For now. For now. We'll use a flurry
of blows. Okay. What's that? I've never heard
of that. 17, I parry. Okay. That's a miss. That'll
be just below? Yep. 13? You see his hands glow
a sort of like darkish color as he comes with
a second strike, but thankfully you missed that.
You feel a bit of that dark energy even though
you didn't get hit by it. It's sort of like it's
sapping being near it. Okay. Okay. Lucia, it's
your turn. She goes, you want an opportunity,
Cole? I'll give you one! As she's going to cast
Spiritual Weapon. Yes. And place from the ground
an apple tree. The apple's not yet growing. It's
still apple blossoms. Burst from the ground right
in... What do you call it? In flanking with Cole
and Killarin. Nice. Right there. I don't know
if I have an icon or if I should put something
there. Flanking, I think, would be here. Oh,
you want me to put it there? I'll put it there,
then. Yeah, if it's flanking. Hold on, I got
you an apple tree. Apple! Apple? Yeah, you take
this meme right here, that's all I got right
now. What is it? It's the 15th of April? Oh,
great heavens! 1865, so what's the deal with
the conspiracy? That's a big meme! Yo, is that
fucking Patrick from Spongebob? Oh, great heavens.
There you go. Oh, great heavens. What is this
meme, and why do you have it in World 20? I have
no idea where it came from, but I found it. But
I found it. But it's here. It's where it shall
be. And it rolled an 18 on the spiritual weapon.
It's a 20, technically. That just hits. Not natural.
Oh, it just hits. Level 2. 11 force damage. Okay.
So that was bonus action, right? And I used my
reaction to attack because she attacked the thing
next to me. Go ahead. I have advantage because
I missed the last attack. So that is... Am I
still flanking? Am I flanking with this thing?
Yes, you are. So it's a 20 to hit. No, it's not.
It's a two now. Whoa! What is with you and your
fucking... Wait, he can see the future too! Oh.
Can I re -roll this? Is this a thing I can do
a re -roll on? If I use Lucia's Warbond? So it
does become a two. You can re - You replace their
roll. And then can I replace the roll that he
rolls? Yes, with Lucia's ability, yes. Okay,
so I just do, like, a full roll again, right?
That's how that works? It's just a roll. So 15
plus 2. 17, then, yeah. Which misses. Okay. Oh,
wait. Where am I? 17. Lucy is within 30. They're
within 35. Is it going to be a 17? Do we think
an 18 hit? Does an 18 hit? An 18 would hit. I'm
going to use saving face. I'm going to use saving
face to add one to that. So, Lucia, you see it
happening. With Killian, it's a short burst of
what you would always experience. When you're
on your own, when you feel the winds shift and
you feel visions, Killaren becomes a singularity
for just a moment. This is what only you see.
What? His eyes shifting back and forth. He sees
into it too, for just a moment. The winds shift
towards it. He tries to change it. He tries to
move. But whatever Kual did, Whatever you had
influenced him on, you feel like you had influence
on this. Who else will find his strike true?
16 damage total. Gotcha, gotcha. Okay. So that
was your bonus action. That was my bonus action.
And then action. You said not to shoot people
with her crossbow. Yeah, probably not. Focus
on magic. Yeah, but that's all she can do because
I already cast my spell. You can do a cantrip.
Oh, I can? Oh, I can cast a cantrip? I thought
you weren't allowed to do that. It just has to
be one leveled spell. Oh! Can I do Secret Flame?
Yes, you can. Yay. I do Secret Flame. That was
a... A Killaren? Yes, a Killaren. Which one is
it? The deck save. Deck save. Which she's probably
going to beat as a fucking adept. 18. Yeah. Yeah.
It misses, but I fired and I missed. Do you want
to... Ah! I was going to say, where can I move?
I think if you move to here, she has to pass
me to get next to you. Here? Oh, but my reaction's
down. That doesn't matter. Assuming she has the
extra movement speed. At least I'm as far as
I can go. That's all I've got. I'm gonna get
my fucking ass whooped. Kailani's turn. Who has
50 feet of movement. Yeah. Goes towards Lucia.
Oh, boy. Kailani will effectively try to beat
the fucking piss out of you. Well, funny you
should say that. Let's see. One second. Oh, well,
actually. Okay. Yeah, she'll beat the shit out
of you. Great. Love that. That hits. Yep. I don't
get, like, a plus AC that the thing that gave
me Jenny, right? Do you have a dagger or anything?
No. No, I don't have a dagger. I'm going to spend
an exertion point to deal an additional d6. Ugh.
So you get eight points of bludgeoning damage
for that one. Okay. You can do it, Lucia! You're
so fast! Come on! Oh, God. Bludgeoning beat it
up. And then bonus action. She's going to come
in with a flurry of blows. Oh, God. 24? Yeah.
I love add -ups. additional d6 another eight
points of damage okay oh and because she uh and
because her personal sky activates where she's
comboing uh she's juggling lucia combo she does
an additional two points of damage 24 you're
still going yeah this is the second uh this is
the second floaty blow this is the second strike
jesus christ yeah additional plus four damage
this time so this is so that's 15 points of damage
that one oh no wait i'm down oh cole can get
you a potion though i can i can And if I'm down,
hold on. Do I have any? Because if I'm down,
then that means my spiritual weapon is gone.
No, it's not concentration. Oh, it's not. Let
me check the 5e version. Oh, that's true. I know
in regular 5e, it sticks around. You just can't
do anything with it. Oh, guess what? It's still
not a concentration spell. So it's still up.
The spiritual weapon is still up, but you just
can't do anything with it at the moment. I don't
think there's anything I can do. I can negate,
I can negate Cole's damage, but I can't negate
damage done against me. What is the ability?
So the ability says, hold on, it is, where'd
it go? Where did it go? Sorry, I have many things
on my sheets. Too many things on sheets. Hurt
eyeballs, hurt brain. Lower wisdom score. Being
at second level, you may interject to prevent
harm to your allies. When an ally within 30 feet
of you is hit with an attack that deals non -magical
damage, you may use your reaction to halve the
damage. Is it against an ally or just a creature?
It says an ally. Oh. Well, Lucia likes herself.
She's an ally, too. Ally! Lucy is an ally to
the cause. I'm an ally to myself. Oh, wait, hold
on. When I have zero hit points at the end of
another creature's turn, I can spend my inspiration
to gain one hit point. When I do, move your position
and initiative to immediately after that creature's
turn and take your turn normally. Yo! Yo! Huge!
Huge! Huge! So, Kailani comes in towards you,
Lucia. Just... Pure focus. There's nothing more
that she wants to do than beat you down right
now. And with three strikes, with basically a
combo and getting you in the corner, you feel
completely battered and you just feel yourself
slumping in the corner. And then I use, and so
I'm up to one hit point, right? And then is it
my turn now? So you're going to use it now? I
don't know. I think. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Wait, use
it. Use it after my turn. So I'll have my reaction
back up because then we can go right before killer.
And when I have zero hit points at the end of
another creature's turn. Yeah. Okay. So then
I'll do it at the end of your turn then to bring
myself back up. Kailani just goes after him.
Yeah. She's down. Oh, I hope she walks away.
To start going towards Cole. Okay. Well, I see
Lucia get juggled. Yay. I guess... I mean, I've
got to focus on getting this guy down. I don't
have advantage. I'm going to use my bonus action
to aim to attack this guy. He has minus two to
his AC and I'm going to use the same thing as
I did before. Dangerous strikes. Okay. So 23
to hit. That hits. Cool. Sneak attack plus carver.
That's going to be a total of 24 damage. He's
down. Perfect. Okay. And then I'm going to rush
over this way, kind of swinging around her. I
like run and cause I can move through creatures
spaces. I like run, do like a jump and I like,
will like flip over her kind of like pushing
off her shoulders to like land behind her. And
then I'll do my velocity attack against her.
Oh wait, I can't move. I can't move cause I did
aim. Nevermind. I spin around and I'm just going
to chuck a, A knife at her. So this would be
offhand. I think dangerous strike still applies.
Is it only for melee attacks? Let me link it
real quick. Just any weapon attack. Okay. So
this is an offhand thrown weapon. Or not offhand.
That is a 15. As I chuck it at her. She just
definitely moves out of the way. Cool. Is that
advantage? It means I have advantage on the next
attack, though. As soon as you throw it, it lands.
You're precise about this, but it lands directly
above Lucia, the dagger. Okay, so I advantage
on the next thing. That was my bonus action.
That was my movement. That's it, yeah. Lucia?
Oh, yeah, you guys are going to win. I use my
inspiration feature. Where Lucia from the dirt,
right? Fucking undertaker. She's literally, she's
in the dirt. She goes, no, no, I'm not done yet.
And she's going to shove her hand into the dirt
and her like roots, the tree reconnects with
her and spiritual weapon. And the spiritual weapon
is going to move and swing for Kailani. Nice.
Kylo just looks at you like, what? Yes! Never
give up! Never back down, never what? Samara
leans in. So that will be a 22. Nice. Get her.
Bonk, tree. Bonk! Seven force. The tree comes
in. And here comes a giant fish. From the tree.
And you still have an action. I was gonna say,
and movement. Or I have to get up to use my movement,
right? You would use half. Yeah. Half my movement.
Okay, so then I could still go 15 feet, then
5, 10, 15. I'm gonna get over 5, 10. Right there.
So she stumbles to her feet, sprints over here
to at least get behind her spiritual weapon.
And she knows this isn't going to do jack shit
probably, but she's going to fling out another
sacred flame. Okay. Kailani is going to make
a deck save. You can do a leveled spell because
you didn't cast one. Just so you know. Oh, wait.
Oh, wait. I can do a leveled. That's right. Unless
you want to save it. I know. I know. I'm terrified
of Vesper. I'm terrified of Vesper. You have
a lot of slots, though, right? I've got three
first level, one second level, and that's it.
Yeah. So, well... It's up to you. Yeah, fuck
it. How many hit dice you got? You're still full
on hit dice to heal, right? To heal yourself?
After the battle? On a short rest? On a short
rest, I think I'm full. Yeah, on a short rest
I'm fine. Okay, so I will I will fling it wait
what I think guiding bolt is also dex though
isn't it no no it's an attack roll I'll throw
a guiding bolt. I'll use one of my precious guiding
bolts throw it Not like not like her sister can't
deflect spells Jesus Mary and Joseph Yes, yes,
yes. Yes! She's got one fucking hit point. And
then can I bonus action chug a potion? I still
have my bonus. Or I don't have it because I used
spiritual weapon. Yeah, you can't use it. Okay,
so she's on one hit point. She'll just go and
juggle you and I'll clean up. She can either
come to me or she can go to you, but you know.
And I'll be fine. That was fucking cool. Can
you read the ability one more time? So you go
after Kailani in the initiative now? No, she
went after me. Yeah, and then we're back to initiative,
I think. I think it's just like that one. Here,
let me read it. I think it's a new initiative.
Yeah, so I think her initiative would now be
20. It's called preordained for folks wandering
at home. Or no, it'd be nine. It's called Preordained
Fate. Your death is already prophesized. Anything
that arrives sooner is merely an invigorating
taste of what's to come. When you have zero hit
points at the end of another creature's turn,
you can spend your inspiration to gain one hit
point. When you do, move your position in initiative
to immediately after that creature's turn and
take your turn normally. So I guess it does swap
initiative. Yeah, so I'm right after Cole then,
I think. No, it was after... Yeah, right after
me. Yeah, so 22. Yep. Sick. Such a sick ability.
All that and more in Advance 5th Edition on EM
Publishing. A5E. You could have it, too. And
a fun little pet. And a temple. And a temple.
Kalani will destroy you now. Well. Hold on. Does
my spiritual weapon get an attack of opportunity?
No. Fuck. Boo would be cool though. Oh, yeah,
I got me. Oh, it's 12. Thank thank fucking Christ
How I just seems as he as you kind of like you
weave I can't even weave though. I bought one
hit she's more like just like almost dropping
dead Just come she's mad she's gonna use a bonus
action to come in with another unarmed strike
She's coming in with these measured strength,
but she's not. Lucia's like, I can't let Valora
do it alone. What in the world? And then Skaun
goes, yes, determination. Wonderful. Kalani.
Just like giving you everything there. She just
looks around. She has to retreat. Okay, hold
on. Let me measure some stuff. Oh, my God. What?
Determination. oh god not again she's gonna step
out of your reach that's fine i don't need it
you could unarm strike her yeah oh no punch her
in the face yep you try it yep It would be really
funny if you take her down with this. I don't
even have unarmed strike on my fucking character.
It's a strength. Strength with proficiency. Strength
with proficiency. Okay, so strength. Wait, wait.
You would have advantage. Yeah, go ahead. You
have advantage on this because of the guiding
bolt. I have advantage? Because of the guiding
bolt. That's right. Maybe you don't want to hit
her then. No, don't do it, because I already
have advantage because I missed my last attack
against her. She rolled a natural 20! You punch
her! Lucia goes, Lucia goes, I can't have Ballora
do it alone! And she throws her fucking haymaker.
Ballora's jaw drops. Partially because she's
yelling about her, but also because it was really
good. It deals two points of damage, but Lucia,
you get an inspiration point. Get it. Oh my god.
You dodge both. You can't level her down. Kalani
stumbles, just like... Okay. And it took two
points of damage. She's like, what the fuck?
Two points of damage? She missed you twice, and
then you get her, like... She looks, on one hit
point, she looks like shit. Oh, God. As soon
as you fucking deck her with the Fist of Champions.
Like she was the right one we picked the right
one That's my champion on one hit point This
is a total Elias moment. Like, the retainers
are just different. It is! It is an Elias moment!
This is so... It just comes out. She's at one
hit point. Elias is from the original Irobrin
game. He's my retainer in that game. And he gets
really buff when he's below half HP, but also
he comes back to one and beats people up because
he's a monk. Because that was pre -A5E, so he's
not adept. And crits a lot. So you are one hit
point, you came back up to one, and you crit
on an unarmed strike. That's exactly how that
character plays, which is really funny because
you're both my retainer. You're my two retainers.
Oh my god. We're doing this for you, Alina! We're
doing it for you, Alina! Oh god, the initiative
order is gone. Where did it go? Okay, there it
is. Kailani's turns over. Okay. She gets punched
in the face, stumbles backwards. And as she's
like, you know, running away, kind of like checking
her jaw, the camera like pans like over her shoulder
and it's cold. Just like, like running leap.
It's just like, I like glowing red, kind of just
like, just going in for a strike on her. It's
an advantage because I missed the last attack
against her. And we're going to make this dangerous
strikes as well. Kailani's going to use the Warband
ability from Killarin to negate your advantage
to a normal. And you only do that once. Okay.
Alright. Natural 20 anyway. It's not a... But
it's not a sneak attack because she got rid of
my advantage. Okay. Darn. It's a 19 because I
dangerous strikes. So it is a crit. But it's
not a sneak attack. Nice. But it is going to
be 10 damage. Oh, she's looking rough. Her AC
is reduced by two. She's fighting back. She's,
like, striking back against you. Like, she's
pushing you off, but it's not spirited as before.
All right. Second swing. A regular. Dirty 20.
Regular, okay. Nine piercing. We call those Ratchual
20s. Ratchual 20s. Ratchual 20s. Because they're
dirty. Ratchual. Ratchual 20s. Nine points of
damage. Okay, so as you come in with the second
strike, she attempts to... She grabs your arm
as your strike finds true, and she looks at you.
She's like... rasping your arm like her glare
is fixed on you she has a really intense look
but then you feel her grasp softens and she she
stumbles backwards and falls you should have
focused on the higher priority target she just
i give her i give her a wink there's something
about you And kind of like mean adepts that really
draws something out of you. Because you're mean
to Brooke, and you're also mean to her. We're
just seeing recurring themes here. The fight
is over. Koal and Lucia will proceed to the finals.
And Ravel goes, yes! I'm gonna throw up. Eustace
looks at you and goes, do it in the back. Janitor!
Janitor, please. What was that? She goes to you,
there's like... Lucia started like the first
round being like, oh, I'm not going to be that
good. And then she just. She did what? 17 damage
from the guiding bull. And then fucking. She
did that round. She did 24, 26 damage total.
She had an absolute haymaker. She walloped that.
Absolute brick she threw with her hand. She did.
I think she learns fast. She probably observed.
And she dodged those first two attacks. Skaan
was right. Determination indeed. I run over.
I lift Lucia's arm up. Just out of excitement.
Probably like... like instinctively it would
be like too like too rough considering she is
she is hurt but i i i think he like catches himself
like halfway up and like pauses and then slowly
raises it the rest of the way um lucia applause
you see uh you see everybody she can't see everything
is blurry everybody except for samara tomorrow
is giving quiet approval but everybody everybody's
like giving standing up and clapping for that
performance. Cole, can we go to bed now? No,
we still got one more fight. We got to beat up
Vesper. No, please don't. Please don't. So I
think what we're going to do is you're going
to go punch Vesper in the face is I think how
we're going to do this. Cole, please don't go
to bed. Vesper goes, I believe in you. Vesper,
you're in for it now. I see now. She's so concussed.
At one HP that she's like, yeah, fair. And she's
pointing in the wrong direction. Lucia got fully
like kicked into the air and juggled for a minute.
Oh, my wife says Lucia gains a level in monk
in her mind. Every fight that Lucia has been
in, well, not every fight, but like half the
fights that Lucia has been in, she has gotten
like picked up and juggled by. like something
that's punching her. She's never gotten hit with
a weapon. It's always just been someone punching
her. She's just a little pink punching bag. As
you come towards the bag, Lucia, you're checked
immediately for concussions and they're like,
let's take care of you. Just goes, and what is
this month? Yellow. That's a restoration. As
your mic clears off. So wait, hold on. What is
it? Remind me, guys, with restoring HP with hit
dice. Hit dice? Yeah, you just take a short rest.
You would roll your hit dice and add your con
mod. You can literally press the button that
says hit dice. It will... If you press the hit
dice button, that's how much HP you add back,
and you have a total of four. But think about
the dice. So I did... So I just rolled four on
my hit dice, so then add four. So you heal four.
So you gain four. So you're at five. I think
you have three more you can do. Because it's
equal to your level. Oh, okay. I got three more.
I'm going to roll all of them, because fuck that
shit. Jesus. You said three more? Okay, three
more. Determination! Determination! So, four
plus eight plus six. Math hurts my head. Four
plus eight plus six is eighteen. And you can
do one more if you want. Plus the one you already
have, so you're at nineteen now. Nineteen. Oh,
those are three more. I can do one more? You
can do one more. Yeah, I'm gonna fucking do all
of it. This fucking fight with Vesper, are you
shitting me? And so... 22. So you're down 10?
You're up to 22. That's better. You still have
both your... You could probably drink one potion,
because that's 10 hit points. May as well now,
rather than later. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll drink
a hit point, and that will give me the full,
right? Yes. So you got one, and I've got one.
Perfect. The exact amount to get to full. So
you didn't even waste anything. Oh, Lord. Wow,
Lucia. You handled her. I just... I guess I did.
Woo! Woo! I feel a lot better now that I can
see clearly. Good job, Cole. Going up against
Vespers... That's gonna suck. I think we'll be
fine. So I think my idea is we'll try and take
that. I think we take out Vesper first. Yeah,
if we can see them. And you got to keep Skaun
busy as best you can. So wait, what am I doing?
Am I taking out Vesper or am I keeping Skaun
busy? No, no. You're keeping him busy with your
body. You just hope he hits you and not me. Oh.
I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I think you can do
that tree thing one more time, right? One more.
Okay, all right. You just, whenever I look like
I'm next to Vesper, you swing where I'm swinging,
and I'll try and clear him up. Okay, okay, okay.
I think we can do that. Killaren and Kailani
come to the back. And despite the external wounds,
you see that there's a bruise forming where you
punched Kailani in the face. Oh, I'm so sorry.
And she's gonna, you know, go over and be like...
Don't use the hip. Don't cure her. Oh, right.
They'll get fixed up by the... She goes to automatically,
like, cure wounds. Oh, no, sorry. Good game,
you guys. Why are you apologizing? I had you
cornered and pummeled you. Right, but, you know.
I don't like doing that. Good strike. Good fight.
She may be a healer, but she knows how to throw
a hook. Don't jinx me. Kailani just holds out
a hand towards you. Returns the handshake. And
the killer just goes... You know, I was almost
unconscious, but I heard that. I heard that from...
I heard the sound of that punch from very far
away. Oh, now you have to tell us, because we
won! She says to kill her in. Oh. Um... You want
me to tell you now? Detect thoughts. Detect thoughts.
Detect thoughts. You can tell us. Do you want
to talk? Maybe... How about this? Why don't I
take you guys out for tea, and we can talk more
then? That would sound wonderful. I call you
go ahead and... Mm -hmm. I need a wisdom save.
It's a wisdom save? Mm -hmm. Probably going to
pass because add up to, but who knows? Moving
drink. 14. Ooh. Give me one moment. Let me make
an intelligence, wisdom, or charisma check. So
it's not a saving throw. It's a check. Okay.
He can add martial art dice to intelligence,
wisdom, and charisma checks. Which is funny to
me, because if he was making a persuasion check,
he'd be like, hoo -ha! But no. This is a saving
throw, so it's different. And he doesn't have
any... Okay. So I get the surface thoughts. He
hesitated when she said you could tell me. What's
the surface? Hesitation. Doesn't want to speak
ill. And you hear about the Mercy Syndicate.
You get it in the dots. Mercy Syndicate. Yeah.
Which, as you remember in the papers, was the
was the thing that the Escobar Aurora attacked.
Which is Mercy Syndicate Outpost, which is like
this... They're healers, and they are an Aeon
-marked house. It's attacked. And that was the
thing that was attacked, and the papers said
that the people of Aurora did that? Yes. You're
sensing that he's not saying it more along the
lines of, like, this is a touchy subject. As
in, it's touchy because of what's currently going
on, not because he has, like, a personal, as
much of a personal connection. It's not a personal
connection, yes. Okay. Got it, got it, got it.
Okay. Cool, cool, cool. Okay. It is a personal
connection. It's nothing intense. It's nothing
like... Yeah. Yeah, yeah, you know. Okay. Sounds
good. Just goes, Well, I wish you luck in the
final bout. I'll be watching. Thank you. I look
forward to when we can share another cup of tea.
We're against your leader, right? Yes. Vanga.
As you can tell, they have a lot to fight for.
Oh, yeah. And that's putting it quite lightly,
if I say so. I wish you the very best. I know
you can do it. But of course, I'm... Of course
my soul is going to be with Vanka as well. I
mean, with Mind. Not at all. Robin walks in.
What did I miss? Is everything over? You missed
the fat? Yeah, I just came back. Lucia just did,
like, a triple roundhouse kick and took out,
like, both those guys on her own. No, I did not.
Okay, no, but it was still... Hey! Okay, that
was rude. No, I didn't mean it like that. It
was still really cool, though. She lacked...
She got, she, she like got like juggled in the
air. So like, it was like a real underdog story,
but then she got up and she lacked, she like
in the face. Yeah. I mean, that happens. It was
designed to yes. You did good. You did good.
I, uh, yeah, yeah. I was thoroughly concussed.
You got concussed first time. Hell yeah. I think
so. Hold on a fist bump. Join the club. What's
going on? What's up? It's kind of invigorating,
for sure. How's VP doing, by the way? Oh, um...
He's gone. Yeah, that sounds about right. He
just ran off. That sounds about right. But he's
doing something else. Did he take the band with
him? Is the band still there? Did the band play
on? Yeah, they're still playing. They're still
going. I don't think they can pay for that. It
just goes, alright, well, I'm gonna be here for
the final. It's gonna be you against Valora,
right? No. Not actually. Oh. That's shit. See,
Valora didn't have Lucia on her team. I got something
to cheer her up. What? I got something to cheer
Valora up. It just goes... He's holding a bag
of popcorn, by the way. He just goes, okay. Hey,
good luck to you guys. Is it a popcorn? Could
be. I can share. I like this popcorn. I kind
of want it. You know, I heard... I don't know
if this is true, but I heard that where Valora
comes from, back in the capital of the North
or whatever, sometimes when they have big festivals
and they want to encourage people, they throw
popcorn at them. What? Make a persuasion check.
Lucille lives closer to the capital than me.
No, they don't. It's like weddings and stuff
like that. Why would you get rid of a very valuable
food source? That's a 16. Wait, no. I get to
add I'm assuming this is not concealing emotion,
so it's actually an 18. I mean, that's just what
I heard. I mean, I guess I could be wrong, but
I heard her talking about it. The thing is, he
is good at insight. Oh, never mind. 22. Why are
you trying to make me throw popcorn at people?
I'm not, you know. Cole, I tire of your rigmarole
sometimes, dude. I don't rigmarole. I don't even
know what that means. You're... Get ready for
the fight. He just walks away. Bye, Robin. He
takes a puck when he throws it at you. No, don't.
Never mind. Oh, that's... Lucia completely...
Yeah, you're supposed to catch it. No, no, you
were doing it so that you could get his popcorn
that way. We could just pass next time. And Valora,
as you and Reinwald are excitedly talking about
what occurred, Robin goes, hey, how we doing?
Hey. Hey, who's this? The last fight was really
good. Yeah, how are you feeling? Doing all right?
You doing all right, pal? Yeah? Yeah, I'm sorry.
I heard about what happened, yeah. Robin, come
on! You don't make you feel better? The bedside
manner of this man. You know, Marcellus lost
the first round. Does that make you feel better?
I know. I'm disappointed. I wanted him to win.
Oh, alright. Yeah. You know, I want all our housemates
to win. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Um... Well, I didn't
feel that way when you were finding me, but...
Okay, well, except for you. Because I had to
get through you. Want some popcorn? Sure. I can
give you, like, a piece. You can't see one piece.
One piece? One piece? You're a noble by your
own! Okay, but... Robin! I care about my money!
Robin said communism! This is a gift, bro! Is
the popcorn not free for the competitors? Did
he have to pay? It is free! He's lying! It is
free! Robin would end up having to pay for something
that's free. Alright, Mr. Greedy. They would
forget he was in the fight and think it was just
VP in that match. I'm greedy! You didn't even
offer Reinwald any. Where's Samara? Have you
met Samara? Samara, this is my classmate Robin.
I know him. Hey, what's up, Sam? Oh, no. Sam?
We fought together. There's no way she lets you
call. We fought alongside one another before.
I heard we fucked really quickly, and I was like,
that is what I never would have paired together.
I mean... I see it on both sides, you know. No!
They're both a catch. And Ramos goes, would the
two of you like popcorn? Ramos goes, yes, actually.
No, no, like, you're like, you have manners and
stuff. You're supposed to refuse me. Well, you
offered. All right, take one. Ryan will just
put a handful in there and takes a whole handful.
And then Robin goes, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Okay, look who's greeting now. I'm surprised,
Ryan, given explicit instructions, and you chose
to do what Robin should have offered to begin
with. I suppose it can be rebellious at times.
Eating the popcorn. Samara. comes over just plucks
the bag from Robin's and I'm just goes I'm not
gonna come up to Samara you fucking kidding me?
I'm gonna go get another bag. Hey you got any
money? I give him five gold. No damn way. Is
that how much you think popcorn cost? No, no,
no you're being generous. No, thanks. Thanks.
I'll take that. Is that how much you think the
popcorn is? I'll give you back the change and
everything. Popcorn is actually $500. You keep
the change, Robin. Did you hire me? I guess.
I mean, you're getting us all popcorn, right?
Yeah. Don't worry, I got you. I'm pretty tired.
Also, Koala told me to throw popcorn at you because
it was tradition. Oh, how much for you to throw
popcorn at him? I'll do it on the house. And
Reinwald goes, you're doing it because she gave
you five gold pieces already. It's on the house.
On the house, Reinwald. All right, on the house.
I need artwork of Robin ASAP. I need to see what
this man looks like. Robin walks away. Ready
to spring his ambush. As they go into the 30
-minute break between this round and the final
round, we are going to go on a quick 10 -minute
break. We'll be right back. All right. Bye -bye.
We'll see you in a little bit. See you in a bit.
Bye -bye. Boom. Bye -bye. And we're back. Hello,
everyone. We're back. Welcome back. To the thrilling
Acorn League, this anime -ass tournament. No,
it is. It is the training arc tournament. Lucia's
punch is the one part of the fight that's a little
over animated. And you can tell they had to bust
out the budget for this. When Lucia makes contact
with the fist, everything goes negative for a
second. He shows the ripples of skin. They keep,
what's it called? Cole? Because he does so much
stuff. They keep having like still shots of him
like. behind people and then they do just like
a slice through the screen rather than animating
his arms. They do so many close -ups on Cole
so they don't have to animate all of his actions.
Valora, they kept trying to focus on her face
so they didn't have to draw this fucking dragon
in every frame. It's always like a shoulder up
shot from behind. So maybe you see a little bit
of a wing and that's about it. They never show
Phantom walking on all fours because animating
things with four legs is such a big pain in the
ass. It's a nightmare, yeah. I think it's why
they didn't want to animate Trinket that much.
They left Trinket behind. Scanlan got his way
finally. Or they do still shots where they're
just sitting still. The ways around ammunition.
Yep, that's what happened. That's what happened
last time on Dragon Ball Z. Alright. Alright,
folks. So, inside of the game, people have gone
on a small half -hour break. give you a chance
to rest up before the finals. At some point,
Robin comes back with three bags of popcorn and
just goes, wait a second, rewind time. Robin
walks past you, Cole, and just goes, hey, Cole.
Yeah, but... Fuck, I don't have a bag of popcorn.
I'm in my bag. He goes to go get a bag of popcorn.
He gets three bags. I get the feeling he's going
to throw popcorn at me. Just a hunch. Make sure
to catch it with your mouth. I will. Robin goes,
Hey man, I said I was just joking earlier. You
know? We're cool, right? Yeah. Yeah. Sounds good.
The second he goes to throw a popcorn at me,
I'm ready. He just goes, man, I'm not going to
throw popcorn at you. We're bros, you know? I
deal with your rigmarole. You do mine. Yeah.
I mean, it's not that you have a lot of rigmarole
to deal with, you know what I mean? You're like,
I told you how cool you are, Robin. My man. I
hope that I could be like you someday, you know
what I mean? I mean, you know, I don't try to
be an idol or anything. You're like, you know,
you're one of the first people I met, and I thought
you were so cool, like, here at Irobrin. You
know, you're like a... I guess I look up to you
a little bit. You know what I mean? It's kind
of like you're not an upperclassman, but you
kind of are. You know what I mean? Make a persuasion
check. Can I insight check that? I feel like
Lucille is slowly starting to get cold. Understand,
Cole. It's a deception check, right? Make a deception
check, yeah. Is this concealing emotions? Do
you have disdain for Robin? No, I don't have
disdain, but I am still lying. As a 23. Alright,
hold on, hold on. Lucia, see through him. 22!
And I can, hold on, I can, no, no, no, I'm not
done yet. I can add my proficiency. Because I
can... Your expertise died? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
what's that? That's a plus two. Yeah, so you
would just pass me. Yeah, so you can see through
it. Yeah, Cole's talking him the shit up. She
will file that away for later. You know, man,
I always liked you. I mean, I always liked you
too, Robin. Yeah. Valora's trying to peek and
see if she can around the corner. Why do you
have all that popcorn? Oh, I'm about to give
it. No, because I owe some people a favor, you
know? But, like, you know, Cole, you're hella
wise. Oh, well, I guess. I guess I am. Maybe.
I don't know. Good luck in the final round, okay?
Thanks, Robin. I always know you got my back.
I always do. Come on, man. You know me. Walks
away. What the heck what do you mean what the
heck what do you mean what the heck you said?
That's my brother oh I see I Love him so much.
I know who you like more. No. No, I got you like
another I got you I didn't throw popcorn at you
either Yeah, I didn't Technically, Robin did
throw popcorn at me. Just a single kernel. He
did. Before. And you know, I kind of did throw
popcorn at her before, so it's like a pre -completed
favor. Ugh. And Samara goes, not again. Fine,
I guess I have to do everything. And she takes
her popcorn and walks around the corner. No,
no, no. He moves in front of you. No, no, no.
I can't. I have to do it myself. That's my brother.
Listen. He has a hard fight ahead of him. Yeah,
and he's going to do fine. He's going to win.
What if the butter on this makes him a little
slippery? I teleported out of his hand into my
hand. What? I teleported out of his hand into
my hand. Whoa, whoa. Hey, hey, hey. First of
all, cool. Okay, that was sweet. And then I throw
a bit at him. And then I go around the corner
to throw some at Cole, too. And then I eat some.
Can I catch it? A prop. A prop well used. I really
wanted to fall for him. Cole, you make... Well,
first, make an attack roll, Valora. Just a dexterity
proficiency. Okay. So, it's like the same as
my glaive, so I'm just rolling that. Twelve.
Dives in... Robin dives in front of Cole. As
Popcorn pelts against Robin. Robin, no! He's
still holding the popcorn. He just goes, Yes!
And the popcorn's still okay! I got you, bro!
Wow. Heroic sacrifice. Ah, fuck. I think I broke...
Ah, I should not have jumped. That sucked. Why'd
you throw it so hard at him? You, like, hurt
his back. You know I didn't. I landed on the
ground. Like, that was him. That was his decision.
She is not that strong. Okay. I'll help. I'll
help him up. I'll help him up by taking the popcorn.
So that way he has his hands. Thanks, man. You
said you wanted to save it, so I got you, bro.
Hey, man, you need to get one of these. They're
free. Looks to Valor. I think she knew because
they were over by the snack bar earlier anyway,
so she's not, like, offended. They also got candy
for free. That's what VP was eating. I know.
He took all of it when he left. Oh, he took all
the rest of it? Yeah. I got him to come with
me because I took it. Like, I grabbed him and,
like, half the bowl. So you took the rest of
it? Well, he took the rest, I guess, after I
took half. I had to get him to come with me,
otherwise he would have missed them. Shoving
popcorn in her mouth still. Because that's what
I'm doing. He's like a member of like a paladin
order. Of like the decades of Odin, like the
Raven's Watch, which is like something that's
lorded by the king. Isn't that crazy? The Raven's
Watch? Well, he was really good. I mean, yeah,
but like, you know, it's crazy. What's up, Lucia?
She's just checking this all in that she's still
alive. Lucia did so good. Yeah, I heard that
she did a triple roundhouse kick or something.
No, I didn't do that. I'm more so worried about
this next fight. Oh, no, you guys got this. We
drained them quite a bit. You guys have been
doing really good. Yeah. You beat, like, four
blue wolves so far. Like, you guys are, like,
the killer of blue wolves. No, we don't need
that title let's that's no we don't need to do
the beat that crab out of the blue walls You're
the bane of the wolves Even those balls bang.
Yeah, wait, that could be our team name wolves
bang That's a that is a cool name, but I'm wondering.
Mm -hmm. Should we throw the fight? What do you
mean? Well, there's been so much tension with
the Blue Wolves recently and everything with
Kanaka and in the news. To see them keep getting
beat down, maybe it would help for them to have
a win. Well, I think if you did that, I think
Vesper would know. And also, I think it's possible
other people would say that too. It's just, it's
really insulting is all. Bill, maybe, I mean,
you can make the argument that since they did
it to me first, that it's your right to do it,
though. Maybe. I just worry about, I mean, someone
threw something at Archie the other day in the
library, and yeah. Who did that? I kicked her
ass. It doesn't matter. People who throw shit?
Yeah, who throws stuff? Yeah, but this is worse.
This is worse. This is not the popcorn stuff.
What are you trying to throw? Was it a book,
Tim? It was, uh... It was like a ceramic mug.
Yeah, it was like a ceramic mug. It was a mug.
But it doesn't matter. It wasn't okay. Is he
alright? He's okay. And next time you get their
name down, you let me know who they are. I'll
kick their ass. Rob will kick their ass. I will
kick their ass. I appreciate that. I just worry
that, you know, this is something that we're
going to see for a while. I guess it's just,
what do you think a win will do for them? And
maybe... would send almost the worst message
if they won versus losing. Kind of like the mock
battle. But not as big. I don't know. It's okay,
Lucy. Also, I don't think Vesper would want you
to. But, ultimately, I think I trust your judgment.
Well, Yeah, I kind of took charge in the last
fight, so, you know. Follow your lead. Whatever
you want. No, we'll give them a fair fight. Alright.
It's just something I think about, you know?
Well... We're supposed to be working together.
But it just feels like we're all so scattered.
I think we're also doing a lot to combat that.
I mean, I haven't known Vesper that long and
I already feel like we're such close friends
and you and Archibald and... And, you know, even
this... You know, fighting has a whole different
meaning and weight in a lot of Aurora compared
to the rest of the kingdom. Like, they see you...
I mean, fighting this way also shows a lot of
honor between you and them and how they respect
between each other. It's a respect thing? Oh,
yeah. I mean, it's like Vesper told me, if they
fought me three times in one day, that's something
that's only supposed to be reserved for, like,
a lover. What?! Fighting's a big deal there.
I know. Have you thought in truth, Driscoll?
Have we given someone a wrong - I don't think
we fought someone more than once in a day, though.
Right, I think we're okay. Because we don't want
to lead anyone on. I mean, we could just be like,
what do you say when you don't want to, like,
I don't like you, and then we punch him in the
face or something, you know what I mean? That
sounds awful! Okay, well, I don't know. No, just
much more of, like, this respect. This is, I'm...
Punching you platonically, you know what I mean?
So I just gotta challenge Fidelia three times?
Is that what I gotta do? Oh, you're going for
Fidelia now? That wasn't allowed, though. I was
just thinking. Wait, Robin, you like Fidelia?
I'm just trying to, you know, go around, you
know? Oh, yeah, I wonder how they're just going.
It's gonna be happening soon, right? I could
learn a good word for you. No, no, this has got
to be like a Robin thing, you know what I mean?
You know? Yeah. He's got it. So far, eight times,
shot down, but you know what? I'm going to find
one. You've asked her eight times, or you've
asked other people eight times? Other people,
you know? Who else have you asked? I mean, that's
their loss, honestly. I don't think the saga
attempt really counts. Okay, I didn't know. that
the two of you were you could have said something
you could have said something we're just dating
we've been on a couple well we scheduled our
second date we've been on one date so how scandalous
two house leaders dating i mean it's kind of
been a thing since like literally before school
started so i know i know i'm just saying it looks
cute on paper But she's pretty cool. I mean,
is there anyone else you like, Robin? Like I
said, I'm just going around. I ask, like... You
know, I go... Like, I do anything. You know,
boys and girls, anything. I... You know, my domain.
B. B, B, B, B, B. B. What's up? What's up? V,
what's up? You... You should ask through that.
She's gonna kick my ass. No, she wouldn't. I
mean, I don't actually know her that well yet,
but... Hey, you know, I try to talk to her sometimes.
You know the few times I do, like, see her? She's,
like, throwing people into trash cans. But she's
very sweet, though. Yeah, to you guys, but, like,
I just see her, like, people make her mad, and,
like, in a split second, they're, like, gone.
Okay, and do you think you'd make her mad? I
don't know. You guys would be so cute. Make a
persuasion check. Why do I have disadvantage?
Can I help? Can I chime in and give her the help
action at the very least? I mean, I think you
went through to actually be kind of cute. You
know what I mean? I think you almost match her
hat. No, I don't. She's tall. With the antlers
or the horns. You know what I mean? You look
taller than you are. It's something about your
build. Yeah, you let Carrie yourself, like, real
confident. I rolled a 15. I think Lucia will
say, like, quietly, I think Drew could use some
fun. She seems like she's been through a lot.
Exactly. I think she needs someone who will,
like, treat her normally, because she's been
around people like her brother and her dad all
her life, but she's just so sweet. And so, so
nice, and... I mean, I'm not calling you, like,
normal normal, but, like, you know what a normal
life is like. She doesn't. Yeah. Yeah. You could
be, like... Yeah, man, you know? Like, she's,
like, locked in a cage, right? Like, she's like
a caged bird. And you're a free bird. You're
a robin, you know what I mean? Yeah, I'm a robin.
You're the robin, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
You're the man. Yeah, I'm the guy. I don't know
who could say no to you, honestly. So I think
you got this. I mean, I don't think you have
to save her or anything. I just think you could
be good for each other. Why don't you just take
her out to dinner? Something nice. Yeah. You
know, she really likes sweets because I caught
her in the back. You noticed that? You noticed?
You saw that? No, no, I'm saying you noticed
already that she likes sweets and you've been
here for like less than a week Yeah, the thing
is I reach in my pocket and I reach out and I
pushed the rest of the candy that I had Taken
into his pocket. Oh Go go go go go listen. Listen.
Listen. Listen Robin. You can call me your wingman
You're my wing man, yeah Listen, I'm not going
to bring up the whipped cream thing because I
tried to go talk to her about it. She really
likes sweet stuff. I saw her eating a ton of
the breakfast pies. And then someone came up
to her and said something to her. And then she
immediately grabbed a trash can and threw it
over the guy. Oh, wow. You know, there's actually
a little sweet shop down in... It's on campus,
right? The one that Melody Fidelity likes. Oh
my god, the pastry spot. Yes. The pastry spot.
I have it written down. One second. It is this
one. Robin's hubby glasses. What the fuck? Oh,
Ronan's hubby. Okay, not Robin. Okay. I'm just
trying to find... What the fuck was the name
of that? Drama Club, Melody Bowl. I checked my
notes, but my hands are too buttery. Big Buck
from Ben Bridget. Too buttery. Old Man Rhino.
I have it written down somewhere. You know what?
Oh, the Aostriff. It's like the Aostriff Cafe
or something. Apparently they sell a bunch of
sweets and stuff. Yeah, you know what? Sell a
bunch of pastries and stuff. This is worth it.
This is worth it, yeah. You know what? Robin's
gonna... Robin always gets his man or woman.
Or they them. Yeah, you go, Robin. Yeah. Yeah.
You shoot your shot. I think you and Thread would
be cute. He's really good at shooting his shot,
too. I'm good at shooting. You are. I'm the best
at it. Yeah, you got me good. Remember how you
took down that war boar? That, like, big war
beast? Yeah, the war beast, yeah. One shot straight
in the... Yeah, it was really, really cool. And
I can still feel it back here, even though they
healed me. It wasn't one shot. And Robin goes,
hey man, you gotta say something real. We have
the energy going on. People are hyping me up.
You gotta join in. I believe that you can set
out to do what is in your mind. I'll take that.
Yeah, I like that. Guys, this was worth it. I'm
gonna say the kisses by those theater kids don't
count. I'm gonna have my first kiss. Wait, so
they were kissing you too? Wait, I thought you
said when they were playing spin the bottle,
I thought they weren't kissing you. They did?
But they didn't count. So you've never kissed
anyone? Wait, did you like kiss Rod Roddale?
Really? i gave people like the kiss of death
ignoring cool completely just like moving you
seriously have you ever been on a date of course
robin's been on a date look at him right robin
would you just like not grow up with anyone your
age around because you're traveling mercenary
stuff because that's kind of my deal mostly yeah
yeah you know but i think it makes me kind of
badass you know You know, why is everyone so
sad? It's up. No, I just thought that you would
have been, like, on lots of dates and lots of
kisses. That's okay, though. You're still super
young. I haven't been on any dates, Robin. I
don't know what that's like. We kind of were
on Velora's date. Yeah, but that was Velora's
date. That was Velora's day. That wasn't like...
You're not alone, Robin. So who's your first
date gonna be with, Lucia? Probably Quincy. No
way! Punches him. Natural 20. Fatality. No, no,
no. We're just friends. Gosh, guys. Uh -huh,
sure. Oh, yeah. Man, Lucia, I gotta hype you
up, alright, you know? I get my date going, I'll
talk to you, okay? We'll get some going, you
know? Hey, do like a double date kind of thing.
Yeah, yeah. No, you guys can go on a double date,
you and Quincy and Robin and Throon. Yeah. I
would like to see if I can survive this next
battle. That's kind of where I want to be. I
mean, it's not to the death. No, but it feels
like it when you're getting pummeled to the ground.
Oh, yeah. Oh, you know, Samara looks really impressed
with you, too. Ask Samara out. Maybe you could
take Samara out. That'd be cute as hell. Yeah.
That'd be cute as hell. I don't want to ask anyone
out! Well, maybe if we win this match, she'll
ask you out. Think about that. Mm -hmm. You had
to earn it! What if... I don't have time for
this! Guys, I'm going to be honest. I don't want
her to scream loud or my ears hurt. Oh, she can
scream louder. Yeah, I believe it. I don't think
it's a good idea for me to be dating right now
with everything that's going on. Yeah, probably
not. No. So, I'm going to go get her for a fight.
But, Robin, good luck. Hey, you know what? You
can have one of these. It gives you a bag of
popcorn. Thank you. Did you just get her Samara's
bag? Yeah. Oh my god, no. And she hands it back,
and then she's gonna go get, like, her potions
ready. Alright. I'm gonna cheer you guys on.
Oh, I wonder how Lucio's match went. Bets? No,
not for school. I mean, maybe in secret. Oh,
yeah. Oh, yeah, Lucio won. Oh, so, by the way,
okay, so, to give you an update on the other
stuff, so Fidelia won the whole thing. The whole
yeah the whole thing down sounded like she might
I still think Chula probably could have won if
she had Gotten to the end. Yeah, she did a little
legal chokehold. That's like a yeah, that sounds
like her I Mean, I know some legal chokeholds
too, but I she said if she said if they didn't
break it up. She would have killed him That's
illegal yeah, that's just shouldn't be done She
comes from a real intense place. Yeah. You guys
want me to teach you? Yeah. Like how to do a
chokehold? Yeah, how to do her chokehold, what
she did. Yeah, I do. You know how to? Did she,
like, show it to you? No, I just know it. She
explained it to me. We studied the same books,
I found out, which is kind of weird. Oh, wait.
Did she do it? Did she put you in that chokehold?
No. I say because I know last session I told
her to go try it on him. No, she didn't get it
on me and almost knocked me out You didn't touch
her hand rat talk by the way, don't touch her
hand she will literally kill you That's like
a thing Let me show you Okay, I'm just saying
she will literally kill you that's like illegal
to touch touch like ladies hands where she's
from Royalty. Mercy told us that she would have
us put to death if... Well, not us. She said
we're like her concubines, so we're fine. What?
Wait, wait, wait. You're her concubine? No, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no. What do you mean?
It's different meanings where she's from. Is
it? I don't know if it is. Yes. Question mark.
So are you going back home with her? No. Or are
you just her concubines for while she's here?
I don't... The word concubines... This is...
I mean, I'm not gonna judge. Listen, let's keep
the youthful... I mean, a little. Let's keep
a youthful energy about here. Let's not bring
anything into any certain territory. Let's just
not say the word concubines anymore. I think
it is kind of youthful. Evan, lay up, please.
Reinwald, you're blushing. Why are you blushing?
I'm not... Are you, like, hot? I, like, touched
his forehead. Yeah, who are you dating, Reinwald?
I am... I'm not dating anyone. But you've been
on a date before, right? No, I have not. No,
there's no way you haven't been on a date. I
haven't. Well, look at you. Do like noble people
just like not go on dates? Is that like a thing?
Have you been on a date before Saga? Yeah. Oh,
okay. Well, maybe it's not just noble people.
No, yeah. I mean, some of them have to be more
specific, but a lot of them do, even if they're
not supposed to, if their families wouldn't like
it, a lot of them do. It's like, you know, it's
like anyone else. They want to. But Reinwald...
Okay, wait. Reinwald. I just... Have you ever...
I just never pursued anyone. I assumed... No
one has ever shown interest. Okay, but people
have pursued you. There's no way nobody's ever
shown interest in you, Reinwald. No one has ever
been forward with me. Okay. Has someone ever
asked you to, like, go to a restaurant alone
with them? I mean, yes. Or they don't normally
do that? Yes. That's a date! It's not a date.
That's a date! I think it depends on who asked,
you know what I mean? If it's, like, his, like...
father or something you know what i mean like
well no no no but i mean like someone your age
who you don't normally hang out with they asked
you to go out to dinner and then and then afterwards
after you didn't realize or whatever it was they
for some reason got kind of distant to you afterwards
has that ever happened to you well that happened
once but it was when i went to a young it was
a date i went to a young lady's house and she
asked me to help clean her house and I obliged.
It was a late night cleaning, but I never want
to turn down a friend who isn't wanting. Aren't
you like a noble? What do you mean she had you
clean her house? She asked me to assist her with
cleaning her house. Don't rich people have like
maids and stuff? I consider her a great equal,
but she's just one of the people that I protect.
She's a citizen. So you went over to her house
and you just cleaned and she did what? It was
late, yes, and I helped clean. In the middle
of the night? Yes. For some reason? What? Reinwald!
And then you said afterwards she got a little
bit more distant to you after that? I did think
it was strange, but I also got dizzy. That was
a date, Reinwald. She wanted to date you. Oh,
hell. She wanted to date you, Reinwald. Robin
goes, I'm better than Reinwald. Hell yeah. I'm
hopeful. Let's go. You got this, Robin. You got
it. I'm going to talk to her right now. Someone
took this bag of popcorn from me. Hmm someone
lean back and just in case she swings I'm gonna
be afraid I'm gonna lean all right, but ain't
gonna be back Walks away, you know what I got
something I'm gonna do with the popcorn trick
You're not gonna throw popcorn at her right no
We're gonna get for candy and stuff. Oh, yeah,
we're gonna have that. Yeah, I should do that

kind of away from these folks at the moment she's
cutting in and out she said oh okay gotcha okay
that guy's looking so robin robin goes hey guys
no so hey does that mean does that mean that
todd's gonna be my like brother -in -law if this
thing goes through I don't want to think that
far ahead yet. Todd's a cool guy, right? I've
heard a lot about him. Oh, no. No, no, no. He
sucks. Who's Todd? Todd Ketvalder, Throod's brother.
He's big brute like his dad. Bully. He actually
got suspended already. That's why he's not here.
Oh, okay. Well. Yeah, I heard something about
him coming back tomorrow. Tomorrow? But he just...
He just got sent away. I guess that shouldn't
be surprising. Well, anyways, I'm gonna pop on
out. You guys keep doing this. You got this.
Yeah. Is there, like... Never mind. What? Nah,
nah, nah, nevermind. What? No, no, no, just like
focus on your finals or whatever. I don't, I'm
not in the finals. Oh yeah, you... Well, I gotta
go do my plan, so... What were you gonna say?
He's gotta go spread his wings, you know what
I mean? I teleport him back. Roll charisma save.
14 fails. By one. What were you gonna say? Did
you popcorn me? No, it's... I mean, I guess you
can call it that if you want. What were you gonna
say? Bro, chill. It's nothing. It's nothing.
We can talk about it later, okay? I only have
like two minutes left. You have more than two
minutes. Not now, because the time's going down.
What were you going to say? Just tell me. The
man needs to spread his wings and fly, Valora.
I was just asking if you had some Michelle's
going on, but now I know you got a date with
Zaga. Oh, I've been asking that, too. Yeah. Oh,
I mean. The two of you got some, like, weird
energy. What do you mean weird? I mean, it's
like, I don't know. You're like. You, like, get
your faces real close all the time. Yeah. And,
like, stare into each other's eyes. We're just
competitive. You know? Yeah, and, like, one of
those told me how much you liked me the other
day, so that's a thing, too. What? Like, as a
friend. Right? Lucy, I told you. I told you they
were gonna be kissing at some point. Yeah. Yeah,
as a friend. I guess I don't have to insight
check, huh? You don't. Wait, what did he say?
You can't keep me hostage. That's a war crime.
I gotta go. Okay, fine. Hey, Valora, listen,
just like... I wanna tell... I'm gonna tell you
what he told me. Just forget about it. Just forget
about it. Just go, just go, go, go, get through.
Oh, I'm going to get through. Yeah, he walks
away. He starts running. You make sure to break
the line aside. He pulls the tent flap over behind
him. If you have a hard time, I know how to sweep
her off her feet. He's gone. Because I did it
once, but anyway. Are you alright, Avonlea? Yeah.
What? Why? Oh, I was just... I just, um... I'm
almost out of popcorn. He left his bag here so
you can have it. She takes it. Definitely not
thinking. Well, Lucia? We got some wolves to
ride? No. To beat? No. Catch? No. Herd? No. I'm
sorry, guys. I got like half of that. We got
to tame some wolves. Got it. Tame some wolves.
Yeah, there we go. I think she's been stretching
in the corner. Emma, how is it right now? Can
you hear complete silence? It's okay now, but
it's been really, like, in the past, like, that
entire conversation, I was like, I was like,
On our end, you have not stuttered at the very
least. You've been, like, clear on our end. I
just was like, I don't know what the fuck they're
saying. Lucia would have freaked out if she heard
that. I just imagine she's so focused on the
fight now. Oh, she would have. I don't even know
what you guys were talking about, but I'm sure
she would have. I heard them say, like, oh, Marcellus
likes you, Valora. That's the one part that I
was like, oh. You got the important parts. Which
is like, oh, it's going to be messy. And Reinwald
thought he'd never been on a date before, but
a girl invited him to her house at night to clean
his house. And then after he. diligently cleaned
her house she got really awkward around him after
that oh my god he didn't realize that was that
she was interested in him grandma was like okay
well i guess i'm sleeping on the couch tonight
she's like standing there by her bed like by
her bedroom door in like you know like a like
a like a row like a loose sheer robe and she's
like okay there's room for both of us in here
These kids have no help. You're going to be cold.
You're going to be cold. You just want something
else. No hope. No hope. Maybe I wouldn't be cold
if somebody else was in my bed with me. Oh, right.
Your dog is still outside. Let me go. I love
him. So we're going to test some things out.
here real quick try to get through because i
wanted to do something with you real quick emma
we'll test the waters if you're not if it's not
doing too hot and we're just gonna we'll move
call it so rewind time robert seeing some stupid
in the background uh as lucy you're stretching
and like focus on the focus on the task ahead
um as you're like next to the next to like the
flap of the uh of the of the back area um you
uh you hear the slight tapping of like something
like on the ground arithmetic uh not arithmetic
but like just inconsistent like tapping it's
like one two uh that's like getting closer and
closer and you see below the tent flap a uh a
cane Hits against the ground. Is that the asshole's
cane? No. Oh, okay. Lucius? And you hear a voice
going, oh, sir, like another voice going, are
you here to spectate? Have a match? And you hear
the voice that belongs to the person with the
cane just going, Yeah, yeah, how about, uh...
I just go through here, right? And... I killed
one old man. Why is there another? Um... No,
sir. That's the entrance for the cabans. You're
gonna have to come this way. Oh, yes, yes, of
course, of course. And then he just starts turning
and walking. And then you hear, Excuse me, sir,
you're, um... Sorry, I don't know if I'm addressing
you correctly. And the voice goes, No, no, you're
addressing me just fine. I'm not where I should
be. Don't worry. Don't let the robes fool you
or anything. Just tell me where I need to go.
Of course, sir. Lucy, do you want to... Is there
anything you want to do? Just listening. Is this
Miguelos? So... I hear an old man needs help
finding where he's supposed to be sitting down.
That's basically it. He was just walking towards
the back and someone was like, hey, you should
come over here instead. That's not the entrance
to the spectator. Basically, you know. Oh, I
think she'll kind of like peek through because
she's behind like a tarp or something, right?
Yeah. Just kind of peek her head through. Does
someone need any help? You see a old. Halfling
man. So that means really old. With green eyes,
a beard that's tied up and a little ponytail
on the bottom, holding a cane. He wears religious
robes of the ministry. But you recognize that
these robes are... You don't recognize the rank
depicted by these robes. You've typically seen
people of every sort of rank, but this person
seems rather different. He has a really kind
smile, even though he's like... You can see the
A just caught up to him, but... There's dimples,
because you can tell that he smiles a lot as
he looks at you. He just goes... A -ho! A kind
young lady! You mind telling me where the...
Hey, you need to be careful. That's where the
combatants are going. If you're spectating, you
can't. I'm actually one of the combatants, sir.
Oh! A dainty little thing like you! Do you need
help? Can I walk you to where the observer's
seat is? Oh, I wouldn't mind. I'll take it from
here, she says to the guard. He just gives a
nod. He goes, you're a combatant and all this?
Yeah, I actually made it to the finals, believe
it or not. Whoa, that blows me away. I know,
I'm surprised too. Well, yeah. Some things drive
in danger, you know. You never know. You're finding
new parts of yourself in all of this uncertainty.
I guess. I'd rather thrive in not danger. You
know? Well, how's a flower gonna grow if it ain't
gonna crawl towards where all the rain is? You
know, it's funny. My dad, he called me Petal.
So the flower analogy is appreciated. Oh, is
that right? Mm -hmm. Oh, your dad sounds mighty,
like a mighty fine man. Yeah, I wonder. She knows
the ministry ropes, right? Yes. Yeah, I wonder
if you know him, actually. You probably do. oh
man of a man of the road lady yeah what's his
name arnaldo lucardi he turns to you with a smile
i know an arnold lucardi in fact i'm looking
for him i taught him everything he knew While
it's thorn snapper, I used to be, I was once
a top fella in the organization, in the ministry.
I was an invoker. Invokers, Lucia, are, like,
top, like, military generals. Like, they are
higher than gothis. Like, he outranks Aurier.
Jesus Christ. She's going to lean down so she's
very close to him. Kneel down. Well, sir. You
don't have to look for him anymore. We don't
know that. I thought Lucia knew. I thought they
said that... We have an idea that he's missing.
I mean, you have an idea that he might be gone,
but you're also not supposed to know that. Publicly,
you're not supposed to know that. You know that
they said that we still haven't found Arnalda.
They haven't found him. Don't I? Didn't Lucia
think she's... Didn't Lucia... Oh, hold on. Yeah,
he's been... I thought, like... He's missing.
They're looking for him, but he's missing. But
didn't Lucia say, like, she thinks he's dead
or something like that? She might think he's
dead, but also, publicly, you're not supposed...
They're not supposed to know that you know that.
That's true. Because they're telling you... That's
true. That's true. That's true. That's true.
That's true. I mean, do what you want, but I
think Lucia could know. No, no, no, no. You're
right. You're right. You're right. My brain gets
confused with all the things I remember and I
forget. Never mind. So she'll be like, yeah,
that's my dad. Pleasure to meet you, sir. He
puts a hand in his little coat pocket. He just
goes, you're... And all those little petals.
That's me. Have we noticed she left? You can
by this point. Because we're supposed to stay
with her too. We've decided. I like turn. All
right, Lucia, we got to get. I look at Cole.
I see that she's not there too. I'm just going.
Wait. I'll check this way. It won't take long
to find her. Okay. Oh, Lucia! What are you doing
over here? Ah, I made some friends over here.
Yeah, this is my house leader, my friend Cole.
I was leading him to his seat. He actually knows
my dad. Oh, wow. It's nice to meet you. I'm Valora
Avanlea. Nice to meet you, Valora Avalaya. So
I've heard your name a couple times before. Once
or twice. Well, I'm happy to hear that. How do
you know her dad? Detect thoughts. Oh, I used
to trade him. It's not going through. Straight
up. Not even a roll. Okay. I knew him since he
was real young. Taught him a thing or two. And
he starts showing me up. Starts doing boobs better
than me. He was a hot shot back then. I had it.
Do I see an invisible ring on any of his fingers?
Oh yeah, you have to see invisibility on. Yes,
he has four of them. What does that mean? He's
got four rings of mine shielding up. He's got
four different invisible rings. Jesus Christ.
And what was your name? My name is Wallace. Wallace
Thornsnapper. Wallace Thornsnapper. Have I heard
of him? You've heard of the Thornsnappers. Yes.
Oh. Okay. I was just showing Wallace to his seat.
I was just showing Wallace to his seat. Yes,
yes. What was it? Was it this way? Points through
the tent flap and starts beginning to walk. No,
it's the stands that are right there. Over here.
If you turn, you can kind of see them right there.
Where is it? The stands with all the seats. Right
there. Here, if you'll allow me, sir. And she'll
offer up her arm. How much of a fucking thing
is he putting on? How much is he pretending to
be a doddering old man? You can make an insight
check. Little freak. He just hates old men. 23.
25. Jesus Christ. Wait. I can spend an inspiration
to learn what he would have learned on a successful
insight check. Are you going to do that? Yeah.
What's that from? From my destiny. Underdog.
So I'm not super suspicious, but I think I noticed
Cole eyeing him up a bit, even though it's subtle.
And then I... try to kind of i kind of start
doing too i think yeah you probably like you
might spot cole's eyes like rest on his hands
for like a little bit longer than than than you'd
think okay I've heard a lot about you, too. Thor
and Snapper. I know his title, right? Invoker?
Invoker. I can guess. Yes. Is there anything
special for being a former one? Do I say, like,
former Invoker? Does he still keep an Invoker
title? He's still keeping an Invoker. It's a
forever title. Okay, she goes, Well, I've heard
a lot about you as well, Invoker. I'm... Sorry,
sorry. It's just... It's just, they keep you
all real nice and proper. Y 'all growing up,
you calling me a title like that? It's just heartwarming.
Younger generation is all. Well, it's well earned.
Lucia, we gotta get ready for our match. Valora,
can you help him find a seat real quick? Yeah,
I'd be happy to. Come on, Lucia, we gotta get
ready. Hey, hey. Nice meeting you, sir. Lucia.
First of all, real nice to meet you. You're so
kind trying to help an old man who's lost his
way. Um... Oh, no harm at all. I'm just trying
to think of a proper reward for all that. Oh,
I don't... I don't need a reward. I mean, we
just walked out the tent and throughout the...
Okay, he's asleep. We gotta get to... Come on,
let's... We gotta get ready for the match. I'm
just gonna turn and start to, like, pull her
away. Hi. Laura, you got this. Yeah. I... Okay.
I pull Lucia kind of into the tent and immediately...
Don't go near him again. Keep away from him.
Wait! Whoa! Whoa! Wait! Wait! Did Cole just drop
his accent? It just got a little bit more subtle.
He just lowered his voice a little bit. So wait,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. So he, whoa! He didn't
drop it, it's just under his breath, he's like,
keep away from me. Don't let him near you. Oh,
don't let him near you again. Yeah, just keep
away from me. What's going on? I tap him a bit.
He gives me real bad vibes. Where'd she go? Oh,
she has to go get ready for the fight, so...
Oh, yeah, the fight. But I can pass on anything
to her. She's my retainer, and we're going to
be spending a lot of time together. I don't...
I get real bad vibes. Oh, yeah, give her... Okay.
Yeah, give her one of these. Make a perception
check. Disadvantage. Oh, no. I am. my strife.
Okay. You're not done with those yet? Why the
fuck? I know. I had two. Go to sleep. It has
only been two days. I mean, it's only been one
long rest. Okay. I'm sorry. Perception. 13. I
had a nat 20 before the disadvantage. That sucks.
He takes off a ring that he always had on. And
hands it to you. Give me one of these. Oh. Does
it look like... What does it look like? It is
a single, like, silver... Just one, like, long
silver streak, basically. And he just goes, So
another Ushari. Long history between the both
of us. There's a lot of stories. I don't know
which one to start with. I start. I take his
arm and walk him while we talk. He just goes,
he didn't let me give him that ring. And I thought
maybe you should go to her instead. It's supposed
to protect your mind from unwanted things. Oh.
Yeah. So it's magical? Yeah, it's a magic ring.
Hell yeah. Well, I bet she'll love it. Why didn't
the other Lusardi take it? Everything's magical
now. Not my cane, though. Not my legs. Why didn't
the other Lusardi take it? Oh, he's always a
humble young lad. I see it, too. I can see the
kindness in her eyes. That's what I was drawn
to her for, too. By the way, Avonlea, can I ask
you a question? Of course. By the way, I want
to get into all of that story about why you chose
her as retainer, but before we get into that,
do you know where Onada Lusardi is? Have you
ever heard any whereabouts or anything? No, I
don't. I've been... I talked to Aurier about
it because I was suspicious. It seemed weird.
He came here and was going to talk to Lucia and
told her to meet her at the church at a certain
time. But when she got there, Aurier was there
and said that Arnalda had to go. Suddenly. but
i just don't understand why he'd make the journey
all the way out and then also he couldn't get
down that late at night he couldn't get down
the mountain that far it does seem awfully suspicious
are are people starting to worry about him he's
not turned up somewhere else no no he hasn't
that's what i was worried about too but i just
you see that ring that ring I just gave you.
It's gotten pretty cold recently. What do you
mean? I don't know. Things go cold. I just get
worried about the people I value in my life is
all. Is that really so? What you mean by that?
Old men like me. In the twilight of my life,
the things that I've done, you really just hold
on to what you hold dear, you know? In the end,
that's all you got. But that's why I wanted to
see a good friend Arnalda again. Yeah. And maybe
if he ain't around, I'll protect whatever he
holds dear, too, you know? Wow. If you're looking
for him. You know. Do I know something? What?
It's pretty rude to talk about people. When they're
listening. As soon as he says that. As of on
cue. You see walking down the way. Towards the.
Towards the arena. You see Aurier. It just. Just
goes, Aurier is walking, and just stops, wide
-eyed, like, surprised, seeing, uh, seeing Invoker,
Thornsnapper. And just goes, Oh! Aurier! How
long has it been? Um. Executor? Invoker. Haven
Leia. Oh, goodness gracious. Come here. Let me
get a look at you. How long has it been? Um,
hello, Invoker. And Don't Stabber just looks
at you and just goes, Hey, give us a moment.
I'm going to go ahead and catch up with old Rory
Wayne here. Of course. Um, Invoker, I apologize.
I have pressing matters at the moment. Yes, you
do have pressing matters. You gotta show me how
you develop your ability to make tea. And Lucia
made it into the final. Yes, I wanted to speak
to Lucia before. Ah, you have all the time in
the world. What about me? I'm a bore in your
life, too. Come on, come on. Like, like, like,
grabs him by the shoulder. for the first time
you've ever seen her, almost looks vulnerable.
She looks to you, to Valora, for like, help,
like basically. As the invoker turns her around,
she goes, Vocal Thorn Snapper, I must... I have
some pressing matters to... Let's see. When was
this going to be first met? This way, this way.
We're talking over here. There's tables over
here. I want to take a seat. And walks off with
her. Oh, here. I have some extra popcorn. And
walks away. She's nice. She gives you the pop
of the corn. What the hell is that anyway? Oh,
you'll have to try it. Orie, tell me. Orie, tell
me all about it. Aurier looks to her, looks to
you, just goes, tell Lucia that I want to see
her. And then she goes, tell Lucia that Aurier's
gotta talk to me and catch up with fucking big
-ass Thornsnapper. Come on. Yeah, besides Lucia's
already busy tonight. I mean, I'm sure she'd
talk to you for a bit, but like... We're doing
some stuff tonight. The matter is important.
It's important that you scoot your ass over to
the courtyard and talk to me. Let's go. She's
being pulled along now. This is the first time
you've seen Aurea get moved. She is moving on
someone else's command. Okay. You're eventually
left on your own. Well, I guess I'll go back
in. You see him again, you'll keep your distance,
all right? Right. Don't go with him alone. Is
everyone? Well, maybe there's people who aren't
bad, though, you know? He's part of the ministry.
Yeah, but he's looking for my dad. Yeah, and
so are the bad people. I just can't believe that
everyone is bad. You know? That doesn't make
sense. Lucia, I'm sorry. There's a lot of bad
people in this world. I... Yeah, but that can't
be, Cole. Not that many. There's gotta be some
good people out there. Good people get stepped
on sometimes, Lucia. So, just gotta be careful.
Yeah, but... Yeah, but then we just get back
up. Be careful? Why would you be careful when
someone's doing something wrong? I'm just saying,
we talked about this the other night. Combatants,
please move forth to your positions. Alright,
let's just handle this match and then try and
get out of here. I think we should be far away
from him. Okay. He just, like I said, he just
gave me real bad vibes. Okay, okay. I hear you're
uncomfortable, I promise. Alright, let's go tame
some wolves. Mask back on. Let's go. Okay. She
doesn't mask well. Nowhere doesn't mask anywhere
near as cold as us. So, the both of you, to paint
a picture for Valora, What does Valora see when
the both of you come out as about to emerge?
I step out first. I am visibly ready, pumped.
My eyes shoot over in the direction of where
the man and Valora over were. Just to take stock
of what's going on over there. Maybe if I spot
you, I give you a little nod. When I'm going
back to take my seat, she has the ring in her
hand and maybe she flips it around a little bit
in her hand. But she's not trying to show you.
She's just kind of mindlessly doing it. I spot
it. I shake my head. If she notices that, she
nods too. Shrugs for now. And kind of just brushes
off like, later, later. Come on, Lucia! Lucia
looks a little... lost? Slash frustrated. You've
got this, Lucia! I'm cool! The voice rings out
to you, Lucia. And for you, a very chilly wind
blows past. It's a shivering wind. It's a horrible
chill. Not everyone can be bad. No. No. As you
look forward to see Vesper ready to receive the
both of you. Their smile. Kind. For you, Lucia,
for a brief moment, you see the forest again.
Snow and rime covered. Vesper is surrounded by
their home. It flashes for a moment and goes
away. As Vesper goes. Do both of you honor me?
Bows back. Shall we have... Hmm? Oh, she just
nods. That's, like, her whistle. Shall we both
do our very best, then? They hold her hand out
across the line. And as they grab your hand,
you feel the wind picking up. It gets really
cold. But then they pull you slightly, and the
stupor is snapped out of. Just be careful. I
promise to take care of you. No, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no! And she's starting to actually,
like, can I roll something to see if she can
keep her calm? Absolutely. I think Flora's already
starting to get up. What would this be? Like
a wisdom save, probably? Yeah, let's call it
a wisdom save. Yeah, a wisdom save. With my normal
mods, you think? Yeah. Yes, I'll call it a DC
16. You said that, but it's... You have advantage
on one wisdom saving throw if you want to use
it from the T. Yeah, but I did this more as a
player thing, you know what I mean? Like, unfortunate...
Oh, God. I'm trying not to... I'm trying not
to be like my character, you know? No, do it.
Do whatever you like. But I hate that. You've
seen through all this shit right now, Emma. You've
got to do what feels right. I know, but I hate
when characters are like, my character would
freak out, you know? Hey, guess what? We love
it. Yeah. Go off. Go off, queen! Hearing Vesper
say, don't worry, I'll protect you. I think something
in her snaps. And she goes, no! Everyone stop
protecting me! I don't need to be protected!
You need to be protected! You're gonna die! All
of you are gonna die! And she's full on like...
Everything stops. Vesper has their hand out to
you. I'm gonna give it all. Aren't we? She's
crying. I think still even seeing this Valora.
She's not jumping over the barrier like she would
have had the last thing happened. But she's walking
around to try to go up. closer to... I'm going
to just try and get a little closer so that way
maybe one side of the audience doesn't see her
crying. She doesn't shake Vesper's hand and she
wipes her tears and walks to the back to take
her spot. Vesper takes their hand back. She's
just real stressed. He has nothing against you.
I understand. Can we delay this round? I'm down
to wait a moment. Yes. Eustace goes, I can swing
it. Band! Play us out! Hit it, Jerry! Flora at
the fence trying to get closer to Lucia and goes,
Lucia? It's no use, Valora. It's okay. You don't
have to do this today. Fate can't be changed.
I don't think that's true. I know. I know you
do. Hey, come here. I... She... She's just...
Why don't... Why don't you just... You can drop
out this round. It's okay. We can go try to run
off. They're all gonna die. All of them. We're
not gonna let that happen. All of them. Cole.
Vesper. Archie. All of them. They're all gonna
die. Do you... Do you want to just go back to
my room? What was that? I would have been walking
over. I'm sure you can hear all of it, probably.
I'm keeping like a little ways, but I'm listening
to the whole thing. Do you want to go back to
my room? No. No, let's just... No. No, I'm sorry.
I just... No, like, let's... You don't have to
do this today. No, I have to. No, you don't.
Yes, I do. We... We can go rest. And... And we
can talk some more about everything if we want
or not. Or... No, I need to be able to protect
you guys. I'm sick of this. Not you, Valora.
Well, we're gonna. That's what we're here for.
We're gonna protect you guys. We're getting better.
We're going to protect them, too. I'm gonna protect
you guys. I'm sick and tired of feeling like
I'm ripped around and like I'm just a puppet.
I'm gonna protect you guys. I'm sick of this.
And she is angry. Like... Can I try to reach
across and take her hand? Lucia. It's... You're
right. We're gonna do this, but you don't have
to do it alone, okay? I'll protect you, you'll
protect me. I know that. Yes. We'll protect them.
But I gotta get stronger a lot faster, Valora.
Yeah, and you're doing a good job. And that starts
today. Me too. I need to be stronger too. Okay.
Are you... Do you want to do it? She says, kind
of pointing her head over to Vesper and Skaun.
Yeah. Okay. She squeezes her hands and just goes,
You're gonna do great. And I think you've already
proven a lot today, too. Thanks for being my
friend, Valora. You don't have to thank me for
that. I do. She squeezes your hand back, and
then we'll go take her position on the field.
The second she turns around, Cole, like, begins
to turn around, Cole pretends he wasn't listening
to all that. Eustace goes, everything okay? Yeah,
sorry. I'm ready. Vesper looks like they want
to say something. I don't want to talk to them.
They relent. Thank you. Very cold, harsh, blunt.
In Lucia's head, she's like, if I have to be
strong, I've got to be like a bitch, you know?
Like being warm and snuggly isn't like what Cole
was saying. isn't going to get you anywhere,
you know? So she's kind of like... Cole, like,
very lightly nods at this. She's taking that
a little too far, you know? You saw Valora lose
and Cole win, and you decided to start going
the Cole tactics instead of the Valora ones.
Well, Cole was like, you know, there aren't good
people. Like, this world's not... And she's...
Like, there are, but they get stepped on. Yeah,
so I guess don't be the one that gets stepped
on. Time to be an asshole, you know? It's kind
of like how she's... Just so that's my fellow
players. My fellow teammates aren't like, why
is she being a bitch? No, I understand. Good.
She's learning. I'm really worried about her.
Cole's like, oh no. Oh no. Oh no. It's not like
I'm preparing her for all the terrible things
that are going to happen. You see Skaan also
looks unsure. As Vesper walks past him, he grabs
him by the arm and they both clasp arms. Vesper
looks him in the eye and just goes, Fang and
Claw. And then both of them touch foreheads.
And Skaan goes, Fang and Claw. Is that y 'all's
team name? Know what they're saying. Oh, okay.
Cool. Thank you. We came up with a team name.
We were like, we're going to be called the Wolves
Bane because we're going to beat you. You know
what I mean? Is that cool? Yeah, that is kind
of cool. Yeah, actually. Yeah, that's what I
thought. I'm coming after you first. All right,
good. Cole kind of glances over. Over at Lucia.
We got wolves to avenge. She is locked in. Eerily
so. Not laughing at any of the jokes. Everyone
ready? Let the finals of the Acorn League commence.
Roll initiative. Okay. This is going to be so
messy, guys. Oh, is this where we wanted to be?
I don't know this. One second. Hold on. Where
do you want to put yourself? I completely forgot
about that. I just wanted to be able to... Let
me check if Skaun's supposed to have advantage.
I think he's supposed to. Skaun rolled a five.
I should have done this last time. Danger Sands.
Nope. Okay. I think Valora takes her seat again
between Reinhold and Samara. Look, a lot more
stressed out. What the... What just happened?
Say it to the audience, because they can't see
the rules. We both got nat ones, but that's okay,
because I still beat Skaun. We both rolled natural
ones, because the rage is... The power of friendship
is not with us this round. That's the plot dice.
That's the plot dice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay. What the heck? No being evil! No, no, this
is what you get for not shaking hands. You gotta
honor the handshake! The plot dice is like, no,
no, no, no, no! Yeah, Volo are kind of now a
little bit more on edge because Lucia's obviously
not well. Less excited and more watching nervously
sits between Ryan Mould and Samara. Ryan Mould
looks at you. Is everything alright? I think
it's hard for her lately. Something's changed.
Well, she really wants to win at least. Where
are Wallace and Aurier sitting? They're not there.
Oh, they just left. Wallace dragged her away
to another place. Okay. If Aurea had witnessed
that, it wouldn't matter what Wallace wanted.
She'd be tearing through there, I bet. Vesper
is going to go ahead. Hit me up. Aim a bonus
action. It's a bonus action, but then you can't
move at all. Okay. On that turn. Your speed is
completely kaputskis. They go ahead they go ahead
and hide You can only use it if you haven't moved
yet, and you can only and Then that means your
speed becomes zero until the end of your turn
gotcha That's what's gonna go ahead and hide
Stealth A2 I Try to like look around like I don't
know exactly where he is. Oh, Lucius still sees
him too, doesn't he? Doesn't she? I see him see
him. So you meet the DC, so you win. Beats it,
beats it. Both of you got eyes. My passive is
21, but I have seen visibility up, so he's not
behind cover. He's just there. Okay. So that
was a bonus action. They're going to come up
and throw one dagger towards you, Coil. Okay.
With its normal. Mm -hmm. 20. Ratchel 20. I don't
think I can parry. I think parrying is only on
melee attacks, right? Let me double check. Single
melee attack. Yeah, so it hits. Okay. But no
sneak attack. No sneak attack. Eight piercing
damage. Okay. No mark activation. No mark activation.
What does there's mark activate on? Uh, Vesper's
is a 15 and up. 15. Nice. Um... Alright. Uh,
Coel's open. Well, I pretend I think I know where
the knife came from. Uh, so I'm gonna run in
that direction. Uh... Um... And we are going
to do a... We are going to do a... Perplexing
flurry. That's what I'm doing. So this is a perplexing
flurry. So Vesper's going to have disadvantage
on all attacks against me after this. So first
attack, 13 is a miss, I'm assuming. Yes. Okay.
Second attack is going to be at advantage. Ooh,
14. It's a miss. Avoiding that one. Yeah. Damn.
Okay. I swing one more time. It's at advantage
again. 23. Okay. That will sneak attack. Give
me one second. Wait, this is reaction. That's
not a reaction. Okay, that's the end of the turn.
No, okay, go ahead. So this is not a sneak attack,
you said? No, it is because I have advantage.
So 17. 17? Gotcha. And I am swinging, but I'm
trying to not look Vesper in the eye, and I'm
just swinging as if I didn't know exactly where
he is. You sink the dagger in deep. Where normally
individuals would see the pain or writhe at it,
Vesper immediately... sense of palm crashing
into your wrist and forces the dagger out. But
it hurt. That hurt a lot. Okay. He has a minus
two to his AC now. I think he's over here, Lucia.
No response. Okay. That's my turn. Well, I move
up here so that I'm next to Skaan in case he
wants to... leave my reach or something to go
after Lucia okay um I should be with Lucia's
turn because she has a tiebreaker oh so Cole
goes I think he's over here Lucia and very quietly
almost eerily soft Lucia goes we can already
see you Vesper Stop fucking hiding. She's going
to sprint up to him and cast Inflict Wounds.
Oh, wow. Flanking. Okay. You get plus two to
the attack roll. And he has minus two to his
AC because I hit him. Yep. Hits. So, 25. That
definitely hits. And I've never seen Lucia do
this. And she, you see, she goes, we can fucking
see you. And she goes out and she shoves her
hand. And normally I think her magic is pretty
pink, rosy, you know, it is like dripping black
ichor. And she says quietly. So Cole can even
hear. You're going to keep hiding your whole
life. You think that's how you're going to hide
death. If I can see you, how the fuck do you
think you're going to live? Show yourself. Okay,
I stab him in the back. Oh, jeez. That's going
to be 17 more damage. Gotcha. Okay. So that was
my action. Can I still use a cantrip? Or no,
because that was a first level. Because that
was your action. Yeah, so okay, cool, cool, cool.
So then I'm done. I'm good. That's my movement
and action. Sorry about that, Vesper. Vesper,
more than anything now, has a determined look
on their face. Okay. Well, we'll see. You're
really getting into the shit talking. Vesper!
let's take it to them come on scott it's gone
rages uh and we'll rush up and attack lucia with
let's see i'm going to go ahead and make this
Reckless, but I believe in A5V. It adds a...
I'm just going to check. Expertise die. That
sounds right. I think it's expertise. I want
to give me a moment. Please. Actually, I don't
believe... I don't believe he even has it. Okay,
no, he doesn't. Okay. Going to attack Lucia.
Sorry, mister. I just stepped on my dog. No,
not the peppers. I mean, I just kind of put my
foot on her feet. No. She's sleeping in the bed.
15 to hit. Meets it, beats it. Hold on, hold
on one second. I think my AC, is it 15? Nope,
it's 16. Okay, misses. Misses by one. Okay. I
need to remember rage hit points. All right.
That's gone. It's gone is going to use everything.
Okay. Good to go. Vesper. Vesper. Exhales. The
form. becoming coherent. Uh... Lucia? You've
drawn something out. They are going to assume
a raid stance. As they grab hold of their dagger,
it just goes very well. And strikes. 12. Lucia
has locked the fuck in. I wrote Lucia is learning.
Due to raid stance, they're going to use their
extra attack. 11. Lucia, you need to do this
against Melody. And then... Melody's out. Let's
not bring up Melody right now. This is such a
topic. They're more likely to hit you than miss
you. And they're still doing this. They're gonna
do a Flurry of Blows. Okay. Okay. Okay, go ahead.
30, 20. Ratchel, 20. 11, bludgeoning. Okay. And
another one. Wait, two. Yep. Both hit. 13 more.
Additional five damage. So five and 13? Yeah.
Yes. So 18, right? 18 total on that one. So 29
points of damage from that whole thing. Okay.
Cool. What's 32 minus 21? 21? 29? 29. So three.
Three points. Three. I'm at three. Okay, cool.
You see the Vesper suddenly turns swift. An entire
flurry of strikes. Martial arts, a deadly mixture
all of a sudden. As you are, you withstand this
entire blow. Something that happened to you earlier
with Kailani, but this time you endured it instead
of falling. And then Skaan's going to make a
reaction to attack you. 13. Oh, jeez. The gray
axe hits the ground. As you just step back, almost
on instinct. What did I say? We're going to have
Lucia tank the Skaan attacks. The wind pushes.
And you oblige. Fucking moth. All right. Cool.
All right. Dangerous strikes. He is focusing
on Lucia. And I will not let him take down my
mark. So 25 to hit. Okay. That will be sneak
attack for a total of 26 damage. To Vesper? Yeah.
As Vesper's focused on you, you see Aurier plunge
a dagger into Vesper's back. No. Vesper falls
in front of you. I spin around and I whirl around
to Skaan's velocity to make a second attack.
No! Okay. 23 to hit. Hits. Seven piercing. Gotcha,
gotcha. And then bonus action, I use my second
potion just to down it. because I'm exactly down
10 hit points. Is it your turn? Yep. Lucia. Please,
please stop. Make it stop. Make it stop. And
she's going to swipe another Inflict Wounds this
time at Skaan, because Vesper's down, right?
Yes. Skaan has minus 2 AC, and you have plus
2 because we're flanking. She's gonna throw another
and she's just screaming to make it stop. Natural
20. Cinema. Absolute. Terrifying. This is scary.
He doesn't reduce this damage. No, he doesn't.
Oh my god. So it's 19 plus 30. Yeah. So 49. 49
damage. I'll let you describe it. How do you
want to finish this? She sees the... the dagger
and Vesper's back. She starts screaming, please,
no, make it stop. No, no, no. And it's all like
compiling one on top of the other on top of the
other. And, you know, she's seeing just flashes
of each of them in front of her face over and
over and over and over and over. And then she
sees her dad and then she sees the flashes again,
again. And then she sees herself looking in a
mirror and she's smiling back at her. Her reflection
is smiling back at her going, just put a smile
on. We can do it. And she screams and smashes
her fist into Skan's face and has the black ichor
go into his nose and into his mouth and choke
him to bring him down. Mimicking the punch from
earlier, two wildly different acts of determination.
Maybe not determination. Maybe something else.
You see Skaan is sent to the ground. This violent
whirl of dark energy sprawling around his face.
And you see as he hits the ground hard, begins
to choke. His body begins to writhe. Vesper suddenly
crawls over, despite their stupor. He goes, Skahn,
no! And has a hand out on them. This angry, dark
energy seemingly manifests further in something.
It begins to sprawl out angry lashes. As it continues
to consume, it's gone. Eustace just goes, it's
over. Get back. Both of you get back. He goes,
someone get out here now. I pull the potion out
that I'm not supposed to have and hold it out
to Vesper. Vesper grabs it. Then I just look
up at Lucia. She's just staring at it all happening.
Skaan, please. Please, I need you. Please. Not
here. As he's pouring the potion down, the potion
you see is rejected. This whatever is choking
Skaan, it is rejecting. It is pushing the liquid
out. I want to ask you a question in DMs. Oh,
this sucks, guys. This sucks so bad. I like walk
past him and I just kind of place a hand on her
shoulder. Kind of like facing the other way from
her. Oh, this sucks so bad, guys. I'm so sorry.
So you got her first kill. Maybe not. Maybe not.
I'm so sorry, guys. Welcome to the real world,
Lucia. Can I say it out loud, Tim? Yeah. I don't
think... I don't know if it was kill or just
make it stop. Got it. So if that's interpreted
as kill... but like in her head it was more so
like she just wanted all of it she wanted the
like premonitions i'll just stop you know like
quiet like that's all she wanted in her head
so i will let you take with that what you will
okay velora you see both samara and ryan will
stand up um and like as you watch scone Rise.
Blood begins to trickle out of his eye. I get
on Phantom to try to speed up the process of
somebody who can help getting here if I think
I can. Someone's already rushing on. Okay. And
you see Eustace goes towards you. Lucia and Cole
just goes, come on, come with me, come on. She's
just not moving, just staring at the black consuming.
I'll take her arm. Puppet, yeah, she'll, like
a little doll, she'll follow along with Cole.
Lucia, do you want a gone? Oh, the black ichor?
Yeah. I think the touch from Cole. She goes,
oh, hold on, hold on. And her entire body is
shaking as she bends down and tries to brush
it away with the spare of the dying. I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Scott, I'm sorry.
Oh, wow. That's not what I meant. Oh, gosh. Okay.
And she's trying to, you know. Lucia, in your
mind. Oh, no! You wanted this, didn't you? I'm
providing you exactly what you want. No, I didn't!
And I think she says it out loud. I'm hurrying
over there. Jump fence. Oh, it's going to be
real hard. I was just doing what you want. Unless
you want to take it back. I do, I do. I didn't
mean for this. All of this is saying out loud.
Lucy, you're asking something of me. You're going
to have to give me something in return. What
do you want? What do you want? She's trying to
wipe the, you know, try anything. Saying this
stuff out loud. Lucia, go back. We can go back,
right? You can go back. I hurry over to her.
She looks at her. I can go back. I'm going back.
I'm going back. And she'll try to rewind. Before
Cole says don't, she tries to rewind time. Too
late. Skaan's suffering on the ground. No, no,
no, no, no, no, no. Have I given the potion yet?
At this point, have I given the potion yet at
this point? Yeah, we're at that point. It's like
the people are rushing out. It's mere seconds.
I walk past, place a hand on her shoulder. Cole,
no, I didn't mean to. And she's like diving to
the ground, you know, trying to. Just kidding.
What do you want? What do you want? What do you
want? What do you want? Just strike a deal with
me. What do you want? Just say you want it gone.
Just say you want it gone. And you just let me
steal a moment. Just any moment. I'm hurrying
over to Lucia again. Just a moment. Just a moment.
We'll be okay. I can give a moment. I can give
a moment. Lucia, what's going on? What's going
on? He's in my - Who's in your head? I start
pulling her away, I think. He's in my head. It's
muted. So you see Lucia try to say something,
and it's not coming out. I just kind of go to
pull her away. I'm so angry I don't have my detect
thoughts anymore. I don't want her to have to
watch this, and they need space, so I just start
trying to pull her away. Like, come on, Lucia,
come on. No, I need to fix it! I'll do it! I'll
do it, Moment! I'll do it to you! Very well.
I am riding down. Terrifying. Oh, guys, I'm so
sorry. Yeah, the last time someone made a deal
with this guy, he killed them. So cool. Three
nat 20s. So cool. Just letting everyone know.
Three what? He stole three nat 20s. He stole
three of my nat 20s. He has three nat 20s in
the bank. Okay. That's about right. As you're
taking her away, you hear... The scone breathing.
And Lucia is taken away. Lucia, let's get out
of here. Here, come on. fully, like, shaking
like a leaf. And I just completely have my arms
around and moving away, but just getting away
from the scene because I think he's dying. I
don't want her to watch this. Go away. And then
Lucia, you're here. Done. And then closes out.
And that's where I'm going to end today's session.
Oh, gosh. Oh, God. So victory is pretty nice,
right? Is everyone okay? Hold on. Is everyone
okay? Yeah. Are you okay? Are you? I'm okay.
I'm okay. I'm just worried about you guys. Checking
up on you. We won the acorn league. I'm happy.
I'm peaches and light syrup. I'm eating this
shit up. Guys, the Acorn League was not for acorns.
We were not little acorns. If Elora had won,
if the final was won... It would have been a
lot more lighthearted if you were fighting me.
Emma, think about that next time you don't give
her your inspiration. No! I guess in hindsight,
one inspiration versus three 20s for ERI. I hate
ERI. We took them down so easily. Scary. That
was scary. The dice was scary. I did not like
that. And you didn't even go down in that fight.
No. Yeah. Lucia was like ultra insane like dodging
shit surviving at three hit points Lucia ran
up and did that inflict wounds and I was like
I am so happy you did that and didn't use a what's
it call it a spiritual weapon because it means
I get sneak attack on this attack because you're
next to him terrifying oh my why says so one
more stream to resolve all this stuff before
your break I don't know how much we're gonna
get resolved but yeah It's not going to be coming
back for the Melody Bowl. Oh, no. The whole game
will be resolved by the next game. Don't worry.
Are you dropping out of the Melody Bowl at this
point? The finale. No, she's taking Melody down.
Oh, no. She's going to kill Melody Fidelity.
I was going to say, I don't know. I'm going to
have to do some journaling. I was proud of you.
No. The Lord is concerned. I mean, Cole's concerned,
but in a... What the fuck is she talking about?
I'll do a moment. I'll do a deal. What does that
mean? But... Cole's like... Cole's like staying
there, and he was like, yeah, I know this feeling.
I know what this is like. Is this gonna worsen
our relationship with the blue wolves, too? Like,
just politically, too? Like, everyone's like,
oh, yeah, good job, Lucia, you almost killed
that stupid - She insulted them? She fucking
almost killed one of them. Yeah. But, oh, Lucia's
gonna lose it the first time she hears someone
say, wish she'd actually stayed down or something
horrible like that. It's going to be really bad,
guys, because it's going to be bad. It's going
to be bad. And I'm going to try so hard not to
play an edgelord. I'm going to try so hard. I
don't care if you play an edgelord. I love you.
I hate that. I trust you. You seeing, like, Aurier,
like, flashing between Cole and Aurier, like,
stabbing him in the back. I think that was what
it was done doing. That was like, we're done.
You know, she's off the rails now. Guys, we have
to appreciate that. Emma took a big leap, and
now that she served us a nice roleplay peach
cobbler that we are going to... She may be a
healer, but... She does much damage as the rogue.
It's fucking terrifying. Lucia punch. We ain't
getting past that. Lucia was no slouch. You would
have killed me. Two with that. You would have
killed any of us. When you said over 40, I was
like, I think I could have killed. Yeah. Like,
I think I, I think I would have, that was a killing
blow. Yeah. Well, I hope you guys watching enjoyed
as we cringe. I'm happy. Lucy is learning. I'm,
I'm, I'm cringing, but also I'm like. This is
what I am. I'm in the corner. I'm kind of like
leaning away from Lucia, but I'm also like, okay,
that's new. All day. Lucia has been like, we're
going to change things. Life's going to be good.
And Cole's been like, she needs to, she's going
to be really disappointed. I'm going to kill
Vesper and Skaun first. Yeah. And now. if Velora
thinks Cole put any thoughts into it. She wouldn't
think that right now. But if it's like, why would
you say that to her? Why would you give it everything?
Why would you say that to her? Cole was so down
for swapping Robin over to Throod because he
was like, he's going to have a real bad time
if he starts dating a blue wolf because they're
all going to die. You are the wingman. Oh, you
are the ultimate wingman. Cole was like, they're
going to die and he's going to be very sad. And
you know, this is way less serious, but if Robin
does get withdrewed, he'll have someone to defend
him when Charles and Melody come back for him.
The phantom can't always be there for him. No.
Hides behind her. But Throod will beat him up.
My big girlfriend's gonna beat you up. Honestly,
I low -key very much ship Throod and Robin. I
think it's cute. It's really cute. Robin needs,
like, a big woman. That's what he needs. And
also, Throod needs... She's so serious all the
time. She needs someone like him. Who's a fucking
dork. And who will treat her like a normal person.
I wouldn't call myself a dork. He treats the
nobles like normal people. I said he's not a
dork. He's like a dove. A little birb. Oh, Robin.
But we hope you guys enjoyed. Everything's fine,
guys. Lucia... Lucia's learning. This is just
what she's gonna have to deal with. Better now
than later. Lucia now has, like, this is the
game, like, the branching narrative choice. Do
you... Do you listen to what Cole's telling you?
Or do you... Or Valora and her flying in the
red sky in New Dawn. Is that a possible thing?
Yeah. Or do you go the way of Robin? The way
of Cole? Like, Cole's not... Cole doesn't want
her to be evil and mean or anything like that.
He's just like, it's going to hurt a lot less
if she isn't so hopeful. She's got her survival
skills. Yeah. I think the visions are what's
really cutting her down. Yeah. I think that's
what's really chipping away at her. You know?
You know what I think is going to happen? What?
Lucia is going to... Of course, it's going to
be real bad. It's going to be like, oh, shit.
What the fuck happened? And then it's like, someone's
going to be like, did you do the right thing?
And then Hit is going to come around and be like,
hey, that was awesome. And it's like, no, I did
the fucking wrong thing. Fuck you. Fuck this
guy. No, you said Todd was coming back tomorrow,
right? Yep. So Todd will be like, damn, that's
cold. And Lucia will be like, oh no! She's going
to look at you and be like, wow, you changed
fast. You were being so sweet and optimistic
like a week ago. What happened to you? Look.
But everyone's going to hear about this. Everyone's
going to be talking about how Lucia tried to
kill Skaun or something like that. And it's all
going to spread and get bad. Took me three years
to get to where you're at. You got there fast.
You sped ran that shit. I see that suffering
in your eyes. I have that. That's where she's
going to be like, I've hit my edge. I know. If
Todd thinks I'm on his level, we know we've gone
too far. Do you want to drink with me? Oh, my
wife says Lucia needs a wardrobe change. You
know, all it took was me being like, good people
get stepped on, you know? that and the visions
just like all of it just like you know yeah there's
a lot of bad people I know it also was too it
was best for going don't worry I'll protect you
and she was like if one more person says they're
gonna fucking protect me when they're gonna fucking
die you know it's gonna be so messy well you
know better better to go through this now damn
it just happened so soon she was just like you
shouldn't do this fight like you're not you're
not well right now let's go home and then that
happens and she's like oh god she's like she's
like i told you to go fucking home how the fuck
do we transition to the melody ball well you're
gonna you're gonna have to do how many eggs am
i thinking of You know what I mean? Melody's
going to be scared of Lucia after this. Melody
is immune to the frightened condition. She is
immune to the frightened condition. She doesn't
have the intelligence to be fearful. It's only
very specific situations and it's like my dress
is ripped and that's the frighten. I thought,
yeah, I thought after the Melody Bowl, well,
I thought midway through the campaign is where
we'd get this, but here we go, I guess. We're
not even at the first mission. No. It's going
to be a long ride. We're going to see. We're
going to see where it goes. I'm so happy that
Cole has also plausible deniability in helping
to get this breakdown going. Because no one was
in the room. No one was in the room when he said
this to her. And like, you know, he's not trying
to manipulate her. I mean, he is, but not with
that. And I think Valora's gonna think too, like,
oh, I wasn't reading in too much in the last
fight of how she was yelling about me losing
and protecting her. She's gonna be like, is this
because she feels like she can't rely on me anymore?
No! Just a little bit. Lucia went, Oh my god,
Valora lost and Cole went, yeah, that's gonna
happen. She's like, oh no, Valora's gonna die
too! The faith in Valora down. I'm so happy.
I'd like to imagine that Cole got the band strumming
or whatever to try and cover all this up and
he walked over just in time to hear Lucia go,
fate can't be changed. And he went, yeah, true.
Yeah. I taught her that. But then you were like,
we're gonna protect them. We're gonna protect
them. Cole looks at the camera. I taught her
that. Fuck you. He can be changed. Listen, you
know, if you stop being hopeful, you know, you
won't get hurt anymore. Ow! That's awful! If
you just give up, you know. That's awful. You
stop looking forward to the future. You can't
be disappointed. Oh, Jesus Christ, Albert. Now,
this is not the moral of the story. I'm just
saying, you know, some people have that outlook.
And unfortunately, my character does. I did tell.
Okay, I don't think I said this because I didn't
want to upset you, but I did tell the songwriter
that, to me, Lucia is the main character of this
show. No! But it's true! Like, it's true! Everything
in this revolves around you! No. But it's a good
thing. No. Like, to me, in Blackguards, Zachariah
is the main character of Blackguards. At least
that story. like it and like the focal it makes
sense whereas like like in um linaya um uh cecilia
was like it really is cecilia and linaya yeah
there is there is very much like as much as we
love to have them in cast there is very much
a spear point there's a heart there's a heart
of the story you know I'm like, I want to go
back to Linnea. I want to go back. You want to
be a supporting character? I want to be a supporting
character again. Let me go back. Lucia has an
angel Valora and a devil Cole on her shoulder,
but Cole is dressed up like an angel. So it just
looks like. That's what I need to get the fan
art commissioned of. Two little angels. Quickly
throwing away devil horns and putting on an angel
halo. And Lucia, like, really contemplating.
Oh, God. I worry. I worry for these kids. Oh,
God. Well, I hope you guys enjoyed. Hot spring
episode next week. We do have vouchers for the
hot spring. We started with the polls. We started
with the polls. How did we fall so far? Oh, I'm
sorry. I need to show you. You failed that saving
throw. You could have had advantage because you
had your tea. I said 16, and I looked up and
saw that you rolled a 15. I know. I was watching
you to be like, oh. Before we go, I need to.
Show everyone this sticky note that I wrote that
I wrote, I believe, several days ago. I need
to say rigmarole more often. Yeah. Well, you
did that. Yeah, you did. Robin said it like three
times to me. I made a promise to myself. Like,
I need to say rigmarole more. It's a funny word.
I made a promise to myself. I wrote it down.
So next week, we have to deal with the fallout.
I have to possibly violently interrogate another
banisher. And we have to skip forward in the
week. All the nicest boys get the biggest punishments,
man. We got Belle and Vesper just getting smacked.
Oh, no. I think I'm canceling my date. No. Valora's
too worried about you. No. not canceling the
date. Just wait till Quincy hears what happens.
Yeah. Samara saw all of that. Samara did too.
Samara's not gonna leave. Was Quincy in one of
the other tournaments or was he just not here?
No, he's just not here at all. He doesn't like
these tournaments. He doesn't like the stuff.
Gotcha. Yeah, when he hears about this, he's
coming running to you. Probably because they
don't let him throw acid in people's faces. Only
Lucia can do that. It's fucking lame. Oh god.
No acid attacks. It was the dice. It was the
dice that I was like, don't do that. Don't narratively
help us, please. The natural 20, we got all hyped
up and then it all ended with the natural 20
inflicted wounds. Cinematic. Not good. no good
no good you're so mean yeah why are you so mean
it's like you want him to die it's like no her
thing was like if i can beat you like a weak
cleric right like if i can beat you how the fuck
are you gonna survive you know like that was
her kind of like you should be able to beat me
so you can live you know so that was kind of
like her thing where she's like come on i want
to win No, she did not want to win. No, she didn't
want to win. Her thing was like, you should be
able to beat me so that you can live. Nope. She
did not want to win. And then they tried and
then fate came in. And fucking, oh god. He could
have died right now. He could have died early.
They're destined to die, you know. The Skahn
thing was scary too. Oh god. When Tim was like,
do you want him to die? I was like, no! She just
wants to stop. She just wants to stop. I thought
it was kind of funny. I'm just kidding. I'm just
kidding. It was not funny. It was not funny.
You know when, like, it makes you think, you
know when, like, people are, like, super destructive
because they just want it to, like, it's that.
Like, that was my headspace of, like, she just
wants quiet, you know? Like, we see it happen
with dogs at the shelter, too, you know? Like,
I look at a dog, and, like, they freak out when
they just need quiet, you know? So they'll bite,
bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, you know? Quiet
from Matilda. Remind me to give Lucia a knife.
A knife! No! Fucking undertale. But my character,
who was the Tempest, who I think you also have
the mark of, is my theory. But you just got the
fortune -telling powers that the gods took away
from her mark. I always saw a lot of similarities
in her and Matilda. In Matilda's story. So just
you saying all that. And I just think of quiet
like silence. But not really silent. That song.
And I was like oh. Yep. And I was going to leave
with that potion. I was just going to have a
healing potion. As a little backup. That I get
to just keep. Nope. Okay. I don't know. Cole
doesn't know why he handed over that potion.
But... Because he cares. No, he doesn't. He doesn't
care. When you care about things, you can get
hurt. I know, but he can't help it. Because he's
a person. He cares. He's a person with feelings.
We got that, too. That's a round. We don't have
to. That's a round, too, you know. Maronite round
two. Oh, my God. Lucia locked in. Every time
Cole teams up with someone, they lock the fuck
in. Yeah, John got the best. We started with
Robin, locked the fuck in. Reinwald, who has
a specific crit build, his personal skills, everything
goes towards it. Lucia has a thousand times more
crits than him because he didn't crit a single
time during the entire... He didn't. All these
routes. Even though he got a plus one range to
it with my bandwagon. No, she's just a squishy
cleric baby. Not anymore. This is your devil.
Do I need to shift to death domain cleric? We
will. It'll be slowly over time. We'll see. We're
gonna go with the flow. Whatever happens, we're
gonna keep playing. The winds have been turning.
We have been whispering of what's to come. All
my classmates are going to die. All my classmates
are dead. I'm sad because my classmates are dead.
We need a darker version. Give me the evil version.
We need a somber piano only version. Or play
it on an organ. Like a church organ. Final wind
down, just to really shake off everything in
our little talk down. Knock, knock. Who's there?
I smell mop. I smell mop. Ew, you smell your
poo? I smell my poo! Knock, knock. Who's there?
Boo. You don't have to cry, it's just a joke.
Knock, knock. She's crying because she just almost
murdered someone. Who's there? Interrupting cow.
Interrupting cow who? Moo. Alright, everyone.
We'll see you next time on Iron Brin Dawnbreak.
Catch you next time. Bye. Bye. Yo, we do need
the evil versions of the character art. We'll
get to it. I need coal and vanisher attire. The
winds have been whispering of what's to come.
But every time the words about to leave my tongue,
some obstacle arises, some unstoppable force.
My deepest fear awakens, fates unstoppable course.
But there's so much I still don't see. I never
thought a second in command would hate me. Where
they train the elite. You with your end mark
of passage and speed. With riches and power in
your family tree. But injustice strains all your
loyalty. Desire and duty is the balance between.
The winds have been whispering of what's to come.
Forboding whispers, whispers to thunder. Your
castle walls crumble in one by one. Against the
blood -red sky you ride on fandom. I fight for
what's right. Some may call me naive. But nothing
can put out the flame in me. The goddess of spring
and life and death she brings.
