D&D Doo Doo
Alright Podlings, Nix here. Welcome back to D&D Doo Doo. Last episode we headed out
with Tack into the wilds. Tagk's got some coins to add to his stash see, and we said
we'd go along with him. We've happened upon a right big dollop of mud that even I'd think
twice about jumping into. It's got a life of its own it has, and by life I mean it's
animated itself into three mud boils. One of which is a particularly big and grumpy
looking fella with a mean right hook. It all kicked off when we were walking through
the forest. A chunk of stone comes charging out of the ferns right, rolls into the mud
hole at great speed and is now trying to force its way past the mud boils. Mud tentacles
are lashing out and the stone keeps trying to batter its way through. Now, Sorlie has
only just got his puppy Fudgy back. This was no place for that fluffy little fella. So
Sorlie scooped Fudgy up and is now taking him back to base. Leaving me and Tagk to face
the muddy menace. Right, best figure out what I'm going to D&D Doo Doo. Laters.
So, there's this like boulder is it? Can I make a bit of an insight on that? Have I got
a, did I get a good look? Yeah you can yeah, just do an insight for sure. Yeah do an insight.
Or perception. Before I leap into the fray, that is a 16, 18. 18 that's very good. Do
you... anything in particular that you're looking for? Just like trying to get an arc, maybe
a bit of an arcane whiff off this thing because it's like an animated rock. Is there something
that's propelling it? Can I get a bit of a magic sniff off it? Yeah for sure. You definitely
get an arcane whiff off it and I think for an 18 you also, it just smells a little bit
familiar. You wrack your brains a little bit and you think it kind of reminds you of the
big stone elemental that came and freed you. That's right yeah. Or freed you by accident
as it was storming the camp for whatever reason. Oh one of them. Yeah it doesn't have as much
power but then it is smaller as well. Yeah yeah well that'd make sense that they're connected.
Right, okay. Right I'm gonna get stuck in then. Alright. I wanna pop a mud boil. Okay.
There's nothing more satisfying than lancing a boil. I'm just gonna attack it, I'm gonna
save my spells for now. Just gonna attack it with my claw. Okay. Which one are you going
for? Oh how many we got? We've got three. Right so you've got, there's one very large
mud boil and then there's two smaller ones that have also drawn themselves up nearby.
Got you. Now I think I'll just go for the closest one. Well the largest one is sort
of further towards the back. Okay. And one of the smaller ones is closest to you. Cool
yeah I've got 16. Very good. That hits. Nice. Let's see how much damage we do. So I've got
90, 6 plus 2. Oh 6 damage. Splat. Oh that's satisfying. It's looking considerably hurt.
Nice. So seeing its fellow, its companion splatted in a big spewing squelch of mud that
goes flying off in different directions, the other smallest mud boil turns round and is
going to go for you, Nix. Bring it on. You're next, squishy fella! Here goes. Mud is for
having baths in, not for one on one combat. Right so let's go for, roll 12. That, oh no,
one off. Oh okay. So he misses a big kind of like fist of mud swings round and Nix just
pulls his head back just in time and whoop you get a good mud spatter across your face. Argh!
Very fetching, like a fetching scar yeah. Nice. So Tagk, Tagk goes, oh my word! And he
pulls off his backpack, throws it to the ground and sticks his head inside with his back end
sticking in the air and his tail quivering and you can just hear him going, 'we're all going
to die, we're all going to die!' And this is Tagk's Grovel Cower Beg, thingy what's it that he
has. So for his action he can cower pathetically to distract his foes, which gives allies advantage
until the end of the next turn. Nice, I can just like picture all the mud boils like looking over.
What on earth, look at the state of that. Get in there Tagk, get in the bag! Okay but
then the second mud boil, the one that you attacked the first time is going to go for
you. Eight, probably doesn't hit. No, no. I'm slippier than the mud. And then Mr.
big beefy. Mr. Big Beefy kind of heaves itself backwards, shores itself up and it kind of
grows in size and then suddenly it crashes down into the bog and this wave of mud comes
rolling out towards you. Argh! This is his Foul Sweep. Do a deck saving throw to see if the
mud sweeps you away. Right. The wall of mud. Come on little gobbo feet, let's get springy.
It's swelching towards you. Twelve, that is twelve. Oh it hits you. Splat it goes into
you and you feel yourself surrounded by cold mud that sweeps you just a metre, just a metre
away. Alright not too bad, we're still in it. Meanwhile the stone that's been trying
to push its way through all three of the mud boils hurls itself at the largest one and
does... Yeah it hits. Yes. One point of damage. But what a beautiful point of damage. Yeah,
it's chipping away. Thanks, Rock. Heh heh... Never said that before. Or have I? I don't know. So
it's Nix's turn again. Right I'm going to go for this one I already... You are prone
at the moment. Oh with the... I have to get up then. Right I'll get up. And now take another
swipe at this damaged mud boil. And you get advantage because of Tagk's Grovel Cower Beg.
Oh nice. Right, I've got a four. No thanks. And an eleven. It's twelve to beat. Oh!
no don't do it. And you miss. You're still a little bit wobbly on your feet after being
knocked sideways by the mud. And then it's one that's the same size as the one you've
been attacking that hasn't taken any damage yet. He's going to... I think he's going to
go for Nix as well. Right. Yeah. Well yeah I'm in the mix. Oh. A one. Okay so this one
swings round to attack you and catches your mud boil instead. Ha! You didn't mean to do that
did you? And it's actually looking really battered now. Right then. Okay Tagk. You've
got this Tagk. Oh I don't know, I don't know about this. Oh Nix, oh flippin' neck. I
think Tagk's going to kind of pull himself out of the bag. He's really pulling his courage
from his socks. But he manages to not only pull his head out of the bag but he turns
round. He looks over at the scene. You slashing away at a mud boil. Another mud boil trying
to slash at you. And this huge slutchy boy with no damage whatsoever and he just goes
huge piercing roar from a very small creature. Oh my goodness! (Magical sounds) It's another doom! Clip. And
this is his bonus action Draconic Roar. Nice. To see if you retain advantage. So that's
his bonus action and then he's going to go oh blow this! Has a little jab with his short
sword. Yes Taks. That's 11 plus 4 is 15. He hits! He hits! Come on Tagk. Blimey. Right.
You star. Four points of damage. That one's looking beaten up as well. Fantastic. That's
Tagk's go. And now it's the mud boil. So we've got the one that's looking extremely battered
by you Nix. Alright. He's going to go for you again. Actually no he's going to turn
round and he's going to go for the one that just clonked him to be honest. Makes sense.
Yeah and he just kind of draws back. The bit of mud that looks a little bit like a head
just kind of draws back and he tries to sort of nut the other mud boil with a big squelchy
nut. Turn and misses. But then it's the big fella. Who's he going for? Well he's just
seen Tagk land a big attack on one of the mud boil so he's going to go for Tagk. Right. And
these big branching arms of mud reach out dripping gunk and all stagnant leaves sort
of reach out as if they're going to try and grab Tagk. Watch out, Tagk! Oh lord is that..? Oh that's a d20.
That's a 20. That 20 he while he does he grabs Tagk 'Oh! oh!' and just wraps him up and lifts him clean
off the ground. Well he would have been doing a strength saving throw but I think on a d20
he's just. Maybe if he gets like a nat 20? Oh yeah, Tagk might get a... It's the
only option. The only option come on Tak. All your strength you can do this. Then goes
into slow motion. One! So Tagk is now grabbed and hoisted. Oh my word! I'll get you out!
And we can get a... What can we get? I don't know... I'll get you out!
