So, you have returned once again, Trepitaventras, to the Forge and Fable D&D podcast.
Last time, we learned that every corner holds unexpected dangers, and now, the stakes are
even higher as the epic conclusion of the cave looms before us.
Will our heroes succumb to the darkness of the depths, or will they rise victorious?
The final battle awaits.
Are you ready to roll for initiative?
Just so you guys know, my character is fully tapped, by the way, so I follow that.
I mean, I'm kind of tapped too.
I'm down to, I mean, I'm at full health, thankfully, but I'm down to just attacks, no tricks of
the trade.
I have two HP and no spells, so.
I've got one spell.
All I got is my mouth.
That's all I got.
I have a short rep.
Use your hit die.
No, let's not do that.
We already used it.
Okay.
You know what, guys?
I got this.
If the devil comes along, we must whip it.
My armor agifist is still up.
Let's get these boys.
What's up, everybody?
How's it going?
It's us here over at the Forge of Fable podcast.
Glad to have you back.
Glad to have you tuning in.
Yeah.
So do you guys hang your toilet paper over or under?
Over.
What are you, an animal?
There are two right things to say, and that's one of them.
If you have an animal that likes to play with it, and that includes toddlers, you got to
put it backwards.
In almost every other scenario, it's got to hang off forward.
Yeah, I'm a forwards only, like a hanging over kind of guy.
I even have that OCD where if I go to someone's house and it's not there and it's possible
to flip it, I'm that guy.
I'll flip it.
Me and my roommate, being her fight over this shit, because our bathroom, whenever I put
it on, it's forward like a beard.
Whenever she puts it on, it's backwards like a mullet.
And I'm like, why?
They usually put the toilet paper rolls in an awkward spot, too.
So you have to do like fucking yoga to reach it.
Sometimes all I'm saying is if you put the toilet paper on backwards, it's very underhanded
of you.
Hey, you wasn't over the top.
Super.
Oh, good shit.
Yeah, I just can't.
I can't live with it.
I don't know who does it.
I don't know why you would do it.
Got to be forward, man.
Or origami it into a goose.
I was just going to say, if I saw like a goose on the end of the toilet paper thing, I would
take a shower.
Fancy as hell.
Yeah.
Maybe that's why I started doing to her is folding it up in like origami and setting it
on the way I want it.
Have you guys ever been in a household with a bidet?
Yeah, I have.
I have one also.
They're awesome.
Yeah, no, I have not.
I have not had the pleasure of partaking in the bidet.
I think it's becoming standard.
Yep.
We're a wet wipe house.
So you know, that's good.
That's mandatory here.
But yeah, haven't haven't haven't rocked up a day.
Looking forward to the day when I get to sit on somebody's shitter and spray myself with
water.
That's a way to clean your ass.
Yep.
You don't you don't save like 100 percent on toilet paper because you still have to
dry off.
Yeah, you got to.
Yeah.
Now see, how does that work?
Because wet toilet paper just fucking sucks.
Well, you're not really wiping.
You're more just trying to just dab it.
Yeah, I got you.
You don't you don't keep but towels.
Super.
Yeah.
You have a lot of brown towels.
Well, they were white when I bought them.
Have you cleaned the brown stripe?
I think those towels mandatory need to be the color brown by default.
You're not going to you shouldn't have white but towels.
Good point and anyone listening, I hope you take this to heart because it's an important
public service announcement.
If you're going to have a bad day, you better offer but towels.
We don't want that soggy toilet paper shit.
All right.
I'll recap it up a little bit.
So last time we left off, party made their way in cave, encountered wolves, not dog,
you goblin folk think think you guys dealt with a little bit of flood action too, didn't
you?
Why?
Bishop went Bishop went swimming one of those times.
Oh, we had somebody fall in combat to Marin.
Marin you you fell last sesh, wasn't it?
Bishop to the snake.
No, I know Bishop did and he was getting he was getting nudged with his foot.
But then I could have swore somebody else fell and then Bishop nudged him back with
his foot.
I think that was two sessions ago.
I was to go home.
But I have I have been unconscious in this game already.
Well, I see little gritty.
I think I was one two sessions ago.
Wanted to have all you guys been unconscious now at this point?
Yes.
I was I was the last one to make it this far before going down and I got taken out by a
a snake.
They can pierce my armor with those fangs, bro.
Don't worry.
I got your back.
Just took me two shots, but I got it.
Yeah, it was some good sniping with the bone arrow there.
That was can't be easy to snake, let alone a pissed off snake lashing out some skill.
Yes, so then I'm pretty sure we made our way into the cave with the.
Goblin bosses we had Erk and Yimik.
They had a few goblins with them.
We found Sildar.
Some combats were exchanged and then Yimik offered after telling you guys to stop or
this guy gets it.
You guys were able to best him.
He then offered his hand to aid you guys against Clark in the cave.
A little bit of a coup here to show his loyalty.
He turned his back on his friend or his fellow goblin, I should say.
Guys dispatched the rest of the goblins here in the small cave, and I believe we left off
with Bishop taking on the form of Erk and changing into his clothes and the plan was
that Yimik and Erk were going to head down to the water pool area.
Where the pools of water fill up from the waterfall and you guys were going to try and
what was it?
You were going to lure them back or what?
What was the game plan there?
We're going to lure them back the ambush.
Okay, yeah, and that's where we left off.
Does anybody have any loose ends you want to tie up from the last game or anything before
we jump in?
I just want to rehash the plan real fast.
So we're setting up an ambush on the ends up where they're going to go to sleep basically,
right?
There's two paths they can take to come back to us.
The one's across the bridge where I'm at and the other one's up the path where we created
the stairs.
They're going to take the bridge because they don't want to get bit by secret snakes?
Maybe.
So if I see him coming my way, I want to fall back as long as everything's good.
And you two, if they go that way, will be ready for ambush, yeah?
Yeah, I would like to move down here about.
There's some loose ends I do want to tie up.
I want to arrange the goblins as if they're sleeping, turn off the campfire next to them
and turn on the other one to kind of cast shadows over their corpses so they can't see
like wounds or something.
Okay, I like it.
And don't forget that you have your owl set up as eyes.
He's out here.
Yeah.
So once I get into position down here, I'll be looking through his eyes mostly until he
gets time.
Oh, one quick note, not related.
Super or not super thunder.
Sorry.
We had changed my athletics to acrobatics.
I just noticed on my sheet, it's still showing athletics.
It's just a small note.
If it's okay, just use use your D&D Beyond page if you don't mind for now, because we
change it on D&D Beyond and I have not updated to Foundry yet.
Okay.
That's something I've kind of just been needing to get to.
I need to do.
Because depending on how this goes, I might need my acrobatics.
Yeah, no doubt.
But you have access to your D&D Beyond page, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
Refresher for everyone listening.
This is D&D 5e.
We're playing the fan Delver and Below Shattered Obelisks campaign.
The guys are in Goblin Cave right now, and just to paint a little bit of a picture of
a scene.
So we have Emris, our druid.
He's standing with Sildar up on a ledge right now.
That's about, I want to say, 10 feet or so up from the rest of them.
There's some stone steps that lead down into this cavern below where there's two bonfires.
And there are six goblin corpses right now that Emris and I believe Marin are kind of
arranging now around these campfires to look as if they were sleeping and not in fact dead.
There's a tunnel to the cave that extends out to the north, northeast.
And if you were to follow that tunnel around a little bit, you'd notice that you would
see Korrend who is set up in a position like a vantage spot.
He's just before a rope bridge.
So you have this rope bridge that goes across this, I want to say it's about 20 foot wide
area of the cave where the water had come down from and the guys got flooded.
The reason they haven't encountered this bridge yet is because instead of going up the direction
from where the water came, they took a detour and went west and they climbed up the unstable
little, for lack of a better term, just like this crevasse that was there.
And it just has all this crumbled rock and there's a ledge and then some more crumbled
stone and that's where Bishop ended up stepping on the snake.
Yeah, so hopefully that helps orient everybody.
Now that I've got the fuel and the imagination copter and the luggage is all on board, I
think we're ready to take flight.
Yimik is going to move up by Korrend and we see Bishop in the form of Irk is following
along with him down this cavern.
I had taken an arrow to my leg, so I'm currently injured.
So I will be playing injured.
Wait, is this a prelude to Skyrim?
Not quite the knee, just the leg.
Turn the other cheek, brother.
Yimik approaches Korrend.
You'll see any of them up there yet, dude?
No, I think there's one off to the side I can barely see, but not a very good vantage
point and any further out and I fear I might risk being seen.
Yeah, no, they totally are there.
There's usually about three of them there and then at least one of the wolves is with
them there.
They usually post it up.
They can break.
Those ones are on break.
If I'm not mistaken, Sprague should be there.
I'm not too sure who the other two bozos are, but you know, it's not that big of a clan
here.
I believe you guys were going to go down this way so you could come up the tunnel, right?
Right, because you're coming from the outside.
All right, now that we've touched base with you, we're going to go back the other way.
Sounds good.
Hey, come on, man.
You got to keep up, huh?
He looks back at Bishop and notices his leg is all just bleeding and he's got the arrow
sticking protruding from it.
Oh, yeah, dude.
And he grabs your arm, if you allow him, and kind of puts it over his shoulders and kind
of supports you as you guys walk down this cave tunnel here.
So this is probably going to get a little rough going down this.
You sure you're going to be okay?
Yeah, I'll be all right.
Okay, well, I'm going to head down here.
So he is going to help you get down this and he's going to kind of support you as you take
your steps down.
Okay, yeah, pretty good.
He's able to.
I'll say we made it into a staircase last time too, so it should be fairly easy.
Oh, that's right.
Okay.
Yeah, see, I forget Super is a dirt wizard.
Em, Emress, the dirt wizard, thank you for bringing it back to my attention.
So that role was I just I just wasted a natty 18, but it's fine.
That's nice.
Yeah, it's not.
Maybe you top the ship as he was having troubles getting going down.
I imagine you guys step out into the stream and we watch as some of the blood from Bishop's
leg is going down downstream now.
We're going to make our way up.
Climb up.
I love how it adjusts the elevation there.
Yeah.
All right.
So look, just, you know, play it cool.
All right.
And he just before you guys get around the corner here, he looks to you and he says,
what are we thinking about, you know, getting them to go back there?
That's like a good line to say, you know, I'm I think we're going to relieve them of
duty.
And they are going to head back.
Just hit the sack.
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah, I like that.
That's that's pretty good.
Why didn't I think it?
All right.
It makes his way up.
Hey, boys, how's it going there?
And he steps in and you see now this cavern.
It's it's a half half filled cavern that has these two large pools of water.
Well they were large pools of water and you can see these goblins are stacking these stones
back in place so that the water can start to collect back up in there.
You gather now, Bishop.
This is where the water from the flood came from.
You see a narrow waterfall high in the eastern walls that feeds these pools.
And then you see that it drains out down the western end of the chamber and forms that
stream that you guys have been walking through.
It flows from the cave into the mouth of the entrance of the cave down further below these
low field stone walls.
What they're repairing right now and they're placing stones back in these service like
dams that hold the water and you'd gather.
There's a wide exit that stands to the south.
And while the two smaller passages lead to the west.
So this what you came from one of the western passages and you would also know now from
your experience in here that if you were to take the other west passage it would lead
to the rope bridge where a corin is staking out up there.
The sound of the waterfall echoes through the cavern and it makes it difficult to hear
and hear.
So the noise is quite loud.
Emic approaches the first goblin closest to you.
Hey ya.
Yeah.
Shifts up.
It's time to hit the sack.
Goblin turns and looks at him.
So soon.
Yeah.
You know.
It's my turn for the water.
I'll take over.
Let me get that.
And he reaches down and starts picking up a stone and placing it there.
The goblin looks towards you.
Urk.
I don't ever think I've seen both of you guys taking breaks at the same time.
Normally we run the shifts here.
Yeah my leg.
I don't feel too good.
Oh dang dude.
You should get that looked at.
That goblin standing next to the stone wall does to you.
Emic says to him.
No dude.
He's fine.
He quit complaining Urk.
He's fine.
It's a flesh wound.
He doesn't need breath.
He needs to walk it off.
We came over here to wash it out.
He's going to be fine.
Bishop, you also see now in the room that you're in you get this clear picture.
There is a wolf sort of pacing back and forth.
And then also that southern little stairwell that you can see from there has a slight glow
coming from it of like a campfire glow.
You would think that that is the area that was above the fissure down from the room with
the wolves that were tied off to the stalagmites.
That's where the fissure would lead up to.
Well, I guess I'll take a break.
You know, I'm pretty tired.
What do you guys say?
And he looks over and the one on the very end, there's three of them.
So the one on the easternmost part of the wall speaks up.
You know, clogs rules.
One for one.
If two come down, two go out.
I gotta stay.
Eh.
All right.
Eh.
I tell you what, Sprague, he's looking at the guy right next to him.
When you get over there, why don't you just send someone else out?
Relieve that dude, huh?
And then everybody will get their break.
Deal.
Sounds good.
I'll be picking up these stones all day anyways.
I'm going to lay by the water and put my leg in it.
Gross.
He starts to walk off and the other one follows.
I'm going to open my eyes from where I've been watching through Vairne's vision and
I'm going to let these leds up here.
Now we have two inbound and I'm going to go nestle back in the rocks here.
As I see them, I would see them come around that corner to come this way, wouldn't I?
Yeah.
I would make my way back to the main.
Okay.
I'm going to prepare an action, the thorn whip, after I see one of the other two take
action.
So, as they're coming, I'm going to fall all the way back.
I'm coming.
I'll jump up here.
So you guys make your way back into the cavern with the sleeping goblins and we will go to
you guys now.
Actually, we are following Sprague and his companion down the cave tunnel here.
Oh, I'm beat.
Sure am glad they came early.
I'm ready to hit the hay.
They come in and they see their fellow goblins taking a nap and Sprague shouts out to them,
Hey, one of you needs to get up.
You need to go give the other one a break.
All right.
Shift change.
It's coming early tonight.
He said so and he starts to scan the room.
Hello.
Hey, kind of reaches out his foot to kick the one in front of him.
I said, get up.
What's going on here?
And he kind of like takes an advance into the room.
The other one follows him a little bit and that's going to say as they come into the
room, it's my intention to move forward and get behind them, like into the entrance, make
the retreat tougher.
Roll me a stealth check.
All right.
Here comes big plus zero stealth.
Let's use a different test.
I'm going to use this one.
I got a five.
All right.
So they walk into the room and I just barrel out at them.
Yeah.
You go to make your move and as you do the loose rocks that are under you start to make
some noise and start to roll.
He starts to turn towards your direction to see what the noise was and his eyes lock and
freeze on irk.
He was laying there naked and dead in the back corner of the room.
He doesn't quite know he's dead, but he's naked and that's really odd to him.
But the one behind him here that followed him in second, he is the one that turns and
sees you making a charge at him and begins to raise his weapon.
So every...
We'll go ahead and play this out.
I don't know because the stealth check wasn't great.
If it's going to get him.
Yeah, we're going to roll for initiative as he sees you coming.
He begins to draw his scimitar.
What about my...
Go ahead, sorry.
He's tapping the shoulder one in front of him.
What did you prepare and what did you want to resolve?
Thorn whip.
Yes, you may resolve your thorn.
That will occur in a surprise round.
Okay.
Then I'm going to thorn whip the one next to Marin.
So I got to click on him.
Where is your character, Emre?
Are you standing underneath Abba?
Yeah.
I'm standing underneath Marin.
Oh, shit.
I didn't see that.
Sorry.
I saw his...
Where are your manners?
Wow.
Well, I would assume that I would have been over there then.
Want me to hit?
Oh, yeah.
20 is going to hit.
You're going for the one in the back or the front?
I'm sorry.
The back one next to Marin.
Under Marin.
Okay.
Back one.
Sounds good.
Yeah, 20 definitely hits.
All right.
Juicy five.
Is that what I'm seeing there?
And can I pull him 10 feet up towards me and then have him fall again?
I see what you did there.
Yeah, I like it.
Why not?
So you vine whip out of him and it grabs him.
You pull him 10 feet towards you.
However, you're 10 feet up on a ledge.
So when vine whip ends, he's going to fall.
Pretty sure the rules is written on the spells.
It just pulls them 10 feet closer to you.
And then the whip just vanishes.
So I'm going to go ahead and roll his fall damage.
Nice.
All right.
He takes two points of falling damage and he had two hit points left.
Oh, yeah.
He hits the ground and he dies.
Okay.
What did everybody roll for initiatives here?
Oh, yeah.
I got 12.
Nice.
Good job.
Oh, Emres.
Let's see here.
What did we get?
Marin.
I got a big boar.
Oof.
And we got one.
We got one dead one out there.
All right.
So let's go ahead and kick it off.
Corrin, what would you like to do?
You're up.
I would like to run down and get up into his face.
So down the stairs right there and just get into his face.
All right.
Cool.
You run down the ledge, down or around the ledge and down the stairs.
And then going to go winging at him.
He should have advantage with some flanking.
Yeah.
Yep.
That's some flank bone.
All right.
So you go out to unarm strike this guy.
What do you get?
How about 21 to hit?
Jeez.
Yeah, it's definitely going to hit, old Sprague.
All right.
Five damage.
All right.
You sock him in the eye.
Bonus attack, same thing.
Oh wow.
Two natty 19s, bro.
You know what?
This guy, he's got like 20 extra hit points.
It must be invigorated from the fire next to him.
Jeez.
All right.
Roll it, dammit.
25 to hit.
No, it doesn't hit.
Oh damn.
OK.
What about the other 25 to hit?
Oh yeah, that one hits.
There are six points of damage.
Oh wow.
All right.
Six points of damage.
It's going to take him out of commission.
Just imagine you sock him once in the face.
He has this fat black eye and then you sock him again, breaks his nose and he just falls
back unconscious.
Oh yeah.
That's the first order of business.
All right.
That was quick combat there, gentlemen.
Good job.
Chipping away at the dungeon here.
Very nice.
If memory serves me, you said there's one more of these ones, yes?
I close my eyes real quick, hop into a dam's evident and confirm there is in fact.
Sildar looks to you, Emerus, real quick before you walk down the stairs.
He says, excellent work there with that vine.
I really liked that.
Creative.
You hop back into the eyes of your owl, Marin, and you see that there is a wolf and a goblin
still over by these tide pools, the twin pools.
You see Yimik and you see Bishop, aka Irk, or Irk, aka Bishop.
How close is that bug yard to the...
Is not far off.
He's down in his room, but it may be likely he won't hear anything in the foyer because
of the water.
Maybe we can get the jump on him then.
Aye.
Could be something worth the trying.
If we can get the jump on the wolf and the goblin, even if the bugbear and the other
two come, or three, did you say?
Is that the bugbear, his own pet wolf, and two others, his personal guard they are.
If we end up drawing them into battle, as long as we can take out the wolf and the other
goblin, we might be okay, yeah?
Aye, possibly.
Bugbear is a tall task to be taken down.
And his guards are probably no pushovers themselves.
When we spoke with Yimik, did we confirm that the guards were, I'm going to use some air
quotes here, boss type goblins?
Big lads, like him?
Or are they just some sycophants that Clark keeps around?
They just seem to be like some other cronies that he keeps around.
He moves them in rotation too.
He just refers to them as his honor guard.
Okay.
Then I think it may be doable with Zildar here and perhaps even Yimik's help.
I think the six of us could manage.
Right.
So we can, I mean, Bishop and them are not going to know what we're doing until it happens.
So if we sneak up and maybe take out this wolf and this other goblin before anything
goes astray, perhaps we can then set up for an advantage on this Bugbear and his guards
then, yeah?
Aye, perhaps.
Perhaps.
You're the one with the eyes.
How shall we go about this?
I imagine we cross over the bridge and our friend Imerus here pulls the goblin out of
his current position and then we do what we can.
But I would say Imerus leads so that he can get that whip off.
Sounds good.
I will follow up with Bo.
Run in if I have to.
Good night.
We go up this way?
Aye.
All right.
So what are you doing?
You guys making your way up the tunnel?
Yeah.
Will you be joining us then?
Yes.
I can help.
I can be of some help.
I'm not quite at my best strengths, but I should be able to lend a hand.
Sildar, does any of these goblins, do any of them have a bow or crossbow that he can
pick up?
They do have short bows, yeah.
If you feel like you could wield a bow, perhaps you can also aid us in the range department.
I'm a bit shaky when it comes to drawing the string.
I'm used to my heavy crossbow.
I think the sword would probably do me better here.
I have chainshirt, shield, and leather armor written on my notes for some reason.
If he's a shield user, he could probably produce one.
Well, there's probably a bunch of shields laying around right now.
Oh yeah, true.
Let's stay about it then?
Yeah, he'll reach down and pick up one of these shields.
Okay, if we're all ready then?
Okay.
Aye.
I'm ready.
Light on your feet, boys.
We gotta be quiet.
So I'm gonna sneak.
Imagine we all need to roll stealth chucks.
Yeah, if we're sneaking, let's go ahead and roll them stealths.
Perfect, I love it.
I got an 11.
Amaris, you put your hands over your eyes and you just start walking.
I can't see you, you can't see me.
They can't see me, I'm invisible.
Okay, you guys start to make your way up the tunnel.
You get to this rope bridge.
And it looks to just be like a makeshift rope bridge, obviously made by some goblins.
It's not dwarven forged by any means, so it looks to be secure.
You guys are pretty confident you can make your way across.
And just on the other side, you see the rest of what the tunnel is leading to.
Marin, where you saw it enters into this cavern of where the Twin Pools are.
You guys make your way across the bridge, or you make your way at least until you get
to the point.
What's the marching order here?
How are we doing this?
I'm probably going first.
Okay, so Amaris is gonna make his way across first.
Amaris, you make it just almost across the bridge and right ahead through the narrow
gap there, you can make out the side profile of a wolf.
Okay.
I'm gonna stop.
I got my bow ready.
And I'm gonna adjust for kind of pointing that way and put my hands up like a scary
thing.
And then I'm gonna turn back.
Oh, I like charades.
No, he's trying to woo the wolf with his animal ways.
His druid ways.
I start wiggling.
Does the wolf notice me?
Not at the moment.
I assume that...
Oh, that's probably the wolf right there.
Marin, did you roll that self check?
You did, right?
What'd you get on?
I got an 11.
Okay.
Well, I'm gonna get closer and try to work some animal handling.
Okay, yeah.
You step a little further into view and it notices you.
It looks up towards you and begins to snarl.
I'm gonna kind of squat down, try to look less threatening and maybe beckon it over
quietly, like do the whole come here thing.
I'm not gonna say anything, but I'm gonna gesture with my hands.
I assume we hear the waterfall and we can hear how loud it is in here.
Yeah.
Yes, it is becoming very loud now.
The closer you get, the louder it's getting.
I think this thing would see you and just start barking.
It would start just barking and making its way over to you.
I'm gonna vine with the motherfucker again.
Okay, yeah.
That's what it does, is it sees you, you lower yourself, it snarls for a second and it begins
to charge you.
Okay.
If you want to divine whip, we could play that one out right now.
Yeah, there's two ways of befriending animals, the nice slow way or the quick way.
16 to hit.
Yeah, 16 hits.
I also want to release my arrow, shoot my arrow when he pulls it to us.
Okay.
Six points of damage.
Oh.
What's the distance on the vine whip?
Oh, it's 30 feet.
30?
Okay, yeah.
So he starts to make a move for you.
Let me just check that.
He gets hit, and managed to pull it 10 feet closer.
Unfortunately that might have obstructed Corin's shot.
It can't go south anymore, so it just pulled it right to the bottleneck of that cavern
right there.
It's coming for EmRisk anyway though, yeah?
Yes.
So everybody, let's roll initiative.
However, at the moment, with it being as noisy and as loud as it is in here, the other goblet
doesn't seem to notice.
He's stacking stones still at that tide pool, but we will put ourselves into initiative
here.
Ooh, what a waste.
Was that the Tuan Zoning?
I got a natural Tuaning.
Oh man, just get rid of them all on initiative, that's what I like.
Oh, someone else is going.
I also got that natural 20.
What does that come out to for you, Bryn?
20.
20?
Comes out to 20.
Okay, just checking.
It comes out to 24.
Alright, Corin, even though you couldn't get that shot off successfully as you wanted to
do with a ready action on this little plan here, it is your turn to go first, so you
may go.
I have no clue that this goblin doesn't notice, right?
Right, yeah, he's out of sight for me right now.
Take care of this.
I'm going to see if I can't cut off the goblin on the other side.
I'm going to lower myself and drop down to this level.
I lower myself on the edge of the bridge and then drop down.
Okay.
Then, how much movement do you think I would probably have used?
Well that's 20 feet to get down there.
I'm going to say if you lower yourself down by your hands and then get to where you're
just doing like a, like you're at the bottom of a pull up and then you let go.
I'll give you the Benny of the doubt.
Say your feet are just over 10 feet from the ground.
So there's still a 10 foot fall from where you're at.
I'm going to make a roll.
If you want to roll in athletics to try and roll out of this, we'll try and see if you
can negate that fall.
I got to roll this.
Then do like a, do like a sweet little tumble.
Athletics you said?
Acrobatics.
Well, I want to just roll it through here.
We have to add plus two to fix it when the sheet.
So wherever this is plus two.
Okay.
Oh, 21.
The ninja.
Yeah.
Well, it would be, it would be your role plus two, right?
Yeah.
So you rolled a three.
No, it'd be plus six altogether.
I'm saying whatever this is plus two.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
No, you, you, you tumbled in the next week without taking damage.
Right on.
Did a few backflips.
How much movement did I use?
But I will, I will say that chewed up, I'm not going to say 20.
I don't think that's fair.
You kind of just fell there, but we'll say, we'll say you used about half your movement.
That works.
So I got, how much movement do I have?
As you already moved out another five feet.
I got 15 feet to go.
Okay.
Yeah.
Five, 10.
I see that goblin.
Yeah.
Or that's the goblin down there in the distance.
Yeah.
Hello.
Get her off there.
I'm yelling at my, my new dog that was up on a TV tray.
I just looked at my love that she is standing on a, on a TV tray.
Yeah, you could definitely see the goblin there.
And what was the question after that?
That's when I got distracted.
Yeah.
I noticed this, this goblin, cause I can kind of see Bishop right there.
So I noticed this is just from a glance.
So I'm shooting at the one in the distance or actually does he notice me first off?
No, you see him and he seems to be placing some stones onto like, like this, this little
rock wall that's there.
It looks like it's kind of responsible for holding the water in place.
I actually want to move another five feet towards these guys.
Ooh, I see the wolf.
I see the wolf.
I want to hold my action.
I just do my movement.
I want to hold my action.
I want to raise the bow in case I need to change what I'm doing.
Cause the wolf, I think Emerson is going to be able to take care of the wolf, but I need
to be ready to help.
No, let's kill this wolf.
Let's kill this wolf.
I know I just, I don't want to put, I just don't want to put them in a bind when I can
make, take a shot right there.
I've been taken down by a wolf already.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking about.
It's quite hungry.
Yeah.
I will go ahead and shoot the wolf.
Uh, like I originally planned to do.
Oh, you got some way to dies yourself.
I don't have the, I don't have the page up right now and I don't want to slow us down
so you can have exploding dice.
Are you familiar with exploding dice?
Max damage dice.
Yep.
So whatever you get, if you roll the max damage, you roll that dice again and again and again,
if it keeps doing it, it keeps blowing it up.
No explosion, but 14 damage.
Oh, holy shit.
How do you want to do it?
I imagine that like, uh, the wolf is getting up from slamming into that wall right there
and maybe like looking a little confused and I just send an arrow right to the back of
its head.
Oh yeah.
You, you definitely, you send this arrow to the back of its head and the force from it
carries it over to the next wall, uh, beyond you and it hits the wall and slumps down onto
the ground.
Um, the goblin is still oblivious to what's going on.
Very noisy in here.
As a matter of fact, you let that arrow go and you realize that you can hardly even hear
it yourself over the sound of this waterfall.
All right.
That will, oh, I don't have combat.
Hold on.
End my turn.
All righty.
Um, five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty five.
Um, can't really see.
See it all from here.
Uh, if the other goblin comes into my view, I am going to cast Mind Sliver on it.
My uh, ready to action.
All right.
Readying up.
Readying up to Mind Sliver.
And uh, bird is going to stay for the moment.
That's it for me.
All right.
Bird stays posted up.
Kind of like the song.
I'm not going to lie.
It's good.
It's got a little beat to it.
That ends your turn.
We'll move on to Amrus.
I'm going to move up.
Can I just say I like the scene.
You have Bishop and Emic standing there.
All of a sudden this vine comes out of nowhere, wraps around this wolf and tugs it into a
wall.
Corrin runs around the corner and just, just gets a headshot from across the cave.
And Bishop thinks to himself, seal team six, babe.
All right, Amrus.
I didn't mean to.
Could you imagine what you're going through?
You said like, I think I chose the wrong, right side here.
Yeah.
These dudes really are the real deal.
All right.
I'm going to move.
Oh, is that the other goblin right there?
Why, yes it is.
I think I'm going to get a little creative on this one.
I'm going to vine whip.
All right.
I call it vine whip.
Okay.
You're not the druid.
Emre, use vine whip.
Aye aye, captain.
Emre, Emre.
We'll just call him Bulbasaur.
Oh, jeez.
All right.
I do have, I do have the crit table.
You guys really are in seal team six right now.
Yeah, dude, you're telling me.
Let's recap on the nat 20s here.
First you got two nat 20 initiatives.
Now you got two nat 20 attacks.
That's four.
That's four so far.
Dude, I don't even know.
You got to lift a finger.
This is nice.
I'm looking because this is a spell.
So I mean, it says melee spell damage.
So I want to find my spell crits here.
Except you on my fucking table, dog.
Oh my God.
Puppy's going to deal with it.
Get out of the corner of my table.
Oh man.
I'm in shepherd puppy's gonna do should I don't want it to do.
Now she's, she's needle teeth in my hand right now.
I'm trying to save my table.
Take it one for the team over here.
All right.
She's so cute though.
All right.
Let's see.
Roll me a d 20.
Okay.
10 great hit.
Roll your damage dice twice and add them together.
I've got advantage on damage.
I rolled the whole thing.
Hold on a second.
Okay.
Super crit.
You're going to roll two.
I was going to roll it again.
Normally roll one, but this, this crit that you rolled allows you to roll your damage
twice.
So you're going to roll four.
He said he got three more to roll and add it all together.
Yeah.
Back to our space three d six.
Or you can click the square three times for your role.
Why don't you do that?
That made up for it.
Sure did.
So there was a one on the first die.
A six, six and a five.
So I'm going to say with the five extra that the vine had, I had five feet of vine to,
yeah, the vine to wrap around it.
And when I pulled it just, I'm assuming it's dead.
It just rates it into multiple pieces.
Oh yeah.
That's a safe.
You pulled really hard and just the whip just came straight through.
Yeah.
I like, like your vine just whips around him and you pull it and it's like a, it's like
a goblin blender.
Just body parts.
You know, across the room, hard boiled eggs that our grandparents had where you push the
egg through it and it's just like a bunch of wires.
Yeah.
I was thinking of, um, what was that movie?
The house of glass or whatever.
The glass panel comes down, splits the guy right in half.
You see half of his body just fall down.
Yeah.
Ah, guys are mercing me now.
Good job.
He, he did.
Uh, that'll bring us out of combat.
And we find ourselves standing in the cave.
Emick says, Holy shit.
Right.
We're down to four.
Is there any way of doing that?
Well, uh, while you guys were busy, came up with a plan.
All right.
Where's Sildar?
Where is him?
Get him over here.
I never went in my turn.
I imagine we should probably back down the hallway a little bit so we can hear each other
talking.
Coming.
It was just theater mind this though, uh, that we back down the hallway for a minute
so we can talk out the plan.
So you don't have to move everybody.
Okay.
Plan.
We take a rest.
I'm not feeling too hot.
That too a plan.
Yeezy.
If he's up for it, you get one more thing we need you to do.
Oh, I kind of like the rest of us.
We're going to go ahead a little bit.
Okay.
Yeezy.
You're going to get Clark follow you even if you got to throw a rock at him.
You get him to come out here, right?
You get him to go down the tunnel and then we use the waterfall trap on him.
Is it full?
You look to see them and it looks like they are not full.
They are like at about eighth level.
Like you would, you would gather that it probably takes a significant amount of time.
For these to refill in order to generate that amount of water.
He's very tiny so we just push him in the water and hold his head down.
I mean he's a puppy but he's not all that tiny.
I got this.
I can dig out a hole and have all the water go into it so it'll be deep enough then.
Do you use some kind of like dirt washer to solve this?
You see the cave entrance?
You take a ditch, cave entrance.
So it's difficult terrain for them.
They have to jump across it or fall in it and we shoot at them.
Okay.
We can kind of like shoot around the corner kind of deal.
Pop in, take a shot, pop out.
Wait for them to come to us.
Now you guys know there's another way in there, right?
The pope shoot.
So what are you suggesting then?
I'm no tactician.
You know, I'm the traitor.
Are you saying that he will jump down the poop shoot if we start shooting at him?
I think he's suggesting that we go climb up a poop shoot.
And I've said it once and I'll say it again.
Not climbing up.
No poop shoot.
No bug bearer shatter.
I don't know that you need to climb up the poop shoot but what I'm trying to get at
is he, I don't think he's going to put himself in a tough pickle.
If he can haul himself up there, he's going to do it.
If he's going to run, he might run.
Why don't you go close up that hole on the bottom side?
Oh.
While, while Bishop's taking a break, you close up the bottom in case he tries to jump
down, he'll realize there's nowhere to go.
Do you have pit dice left Bishop?
I do.
Oh, okay.
Doesn't have one.
Oh, sorry guys.
We're blocked.
We can't go backwards.
Oh, actually I'll go the way Corbin mentioned it correctly.
Yeah, you need to go around the other way.
I could have gone the only way I know, which is why I was going back that way.
You want to use the dice now?
While you're doing that?
I imagine we're not standing over here with your mind down the hallway or whatever so
that way we could actually talk and not have to yell over a waterfall.
So I think we would be taking a short break while we're discussing what to do.
I'm going to be careful around here.
Just kind of poke my head in and see if there's anything I need to be worried about before
I actually commit to moving into this room here.
Oh, nice.
All right.
So I'm going to make use of my arcane recovery for taking a short rest.
Oh, cool.
I just realized on Foundry I can make the water disappear.
Shoot, that's pretty cool.
That's what it looks like now.
OK, that makes a lot more sense to me.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
There you go.
Sorry about that.
That's really cool, though.
Imagine Foundry.
Foundry, go figure.
Wait, so that means you need to stop the river or the stream?
Because I assume it fills there then overflows into the stream.
It's like overflowing from the tide pools, but not necessarily overflowing.
There's a small little channel from the tide pools that it leaks through and causes that
stream to come out.
Because remember, the stream isn't flowing at a fast pace.
It's just two feet-ish at the deepest.
And it's there.
It is moving out of the cave.
So it just kind of percolates through some of the stone wall that's near that entrance
of the cave.
Yeah, you get up, you take a look around, and you see just the other dead bodies that
you guys had drug into.
I don't hear anything weird that I need to be careful of.
Roll procession check.
What are the rest of you guys doing?
I think Bishop and I are short resting.
I don't know about...
Okay.
Short resting.
I don't think I have hit dice or any need to roll them, but I do need the arc.
You should have one hit dice, because the only other break we took was a long rest.
You should have one.
I think I used nine, too.
Or did you guys use it back in the...
I either use it.
It doesn't matter.
I might pull help.
I don't need it.
Oh, I have one available.
I think I've been arrested afterwards.
You guys long rested it outside at the...
We didn't rest after coming in, because we went up to where they were sleeping.
So we pushed forward.
So you should have one available.
Yeah.
Roll procession.
Yeah.
So looking around, listening around, you don't hear anything unusual.
The sound of the waterfall is definitely not as loud, and you just hear the stream flowing
by you in this area.
You don't pick up on any sounds from goblins.
You're not picking up on any sounds from wolves.
Okay.
Seems pretty chilled out.
Cool.
Well, then I'm going to go here and work a bunch of magic, but I'm going to start high
up and work my way down.
And in doing so, I'm going to make the edges very jagged and serrated, just as dangerous
as possible.
And then I'm going to pile a bunch of dirt at the bottom.
And if you'll allow it, I want to put spikes at the top, because I can modify the shape
of what I create.
Basically a death trap, if possible.
Yeah.
So you go to work, and you are being a dirt wizard.
Now this is a 30-foot little...
Boop shoot.
Boop shoes from the earthen thrive.
What's the foot call it?
It's the 30-foot boop shoot.
So there's a lot of poop.
You walk up and you step in some poop.
You can smell poop.
You might even have got a little on your hand there while you're playing dirt wizard, but
you're able to fashion some pretty cool looking spikes.
They look like they'd be lethal enough.
Oddly enough, out of the dirt and the rock around...
You can manipulate rock or dirt.
Both, I think.
Yeah.
I think rock, the difficult terrain, and dirt.
Okay, yeah.
So you can mold it whatever.
So rock I can definitely see being sharp enough to...
Oh yeah, I see stone.
I could definitely see rock being sharp enough to impale.
Dirt would have been like, hey, but rock, yeah.
Yeah, you can most certainly fashion some death spikes.
And you do.
Dirt reminded me of John Cleese and all that, his show, I can't remember the name of it,
The Flying Circus or whatever, where they kidnapped the Queen of England and they were
trying to torture her and stabbing her with a cushy pillow.
I'm going to fashion some words on the side too that say, you should have bought a squirrel
from the Amazing Race.
That's terrible with TV shows.
I don't know.
Movies too.
That's like when the joke falls on deaf ears there for me.
Sorry.
No, you're good.
All right.
Yep.
So we short rested up.
What's the plan?
I'm going to precast Armour of Agathys since it lasts for an hour.
And on top of the spikes, I want to block that up so that if he does survive, he can't
get out.
So his only option is to go back up.
I'm going to cast Vigilant Blessing on Amirin.
Vigilant Blessing, is that the initiative one?
Yeah.
And on the walk up, I'm going to clean all the poop off as I walk up in the stream.
They'll just fertilize it to you, Andrew.
You love poop.
Yeah.
It's gross.
Imagine I'm going to be in the front line.
Who else is going to be front line?
I'm going to go in front line.
My plan is to throw up Blade Ward and go get myself hit.
All right.
We're done down there.
But hold on.
I think we should make use of this whip move and see if we can yank this guy out of there,
at least.
First goblin you see, whip him out.
Aye.
Whoa.
OK.
Let me get that in position.
I imagine we need to roll stealth checks.
Well, it's loud in here, you said, so as long as we don't...
It is very loud.
So you roll stealth with advantage.
I want to position myself right here, basically.
So let me pull up my character.
Whoever's trying to sneak up.
I'm going to be sneaking up.
I'm going to be standing right here for now.
Oh, ouch.
I knocked it to a 20.
All right.
We got a nine from Emras and a 15 from Korrin.
Can you druid mold me some cover?
There's some big stalagmites.
I'm going to druid mold him some cover.
This dude is the greatest dirt wizard I've ever seen.
So you know the line of rocks that they're lining the pool with?
I imagine those just get taller.
Yeah.
He like extends them out.
So they're not just a bunch of loose gravel or loose pebbles.
And then I'm going to make difficult terrain.
All right.
Oh, I guess I could just cast the spell.
You know, I just thought we could have also, since you said these are on rotation, we could
have rotated out those two guards.
Maybe.
This works too.
So I'm down.
Do you guys see that those blue boxes?
Yeah.
OK, cool.
Yeah.
What are those?
Molders, the difficult terrain.
Actually, that's probably a little too deep.
You can only have two of them, non instantaneous effects active at a time with Molder.
Oh, I probably use them all down below then.
Yeah.
That last little paragraph of the spell really sounds fun out of everything.
I'm here to help.
He's like a dirt.
He's like a dirt god.
So this isn't difficult terrain.
I don't know how to do that.
No, no, no.
You keep the difficult terrain and then you keep the pit.
You have to.
Yeah, but I did a lot of dirt wizarding on the dirt.
Oh, oh, sure, sure.
There's blades and spikes.
And shit off of my map.
Chips just out there bleeding around in the pool.
No, I'm good, man.
Simple rest.
I mentioned you still have your wound.
You feel better, but I don't think you had any magic healing to close the wound up.
So I, yeah, did you leave the arrow in or did you pull it out?
I broke the tip off.
So I got like, you know, like the shaft sticking out of my leg.
Oh, great.
So you're going to have like the arrowhead festering in there.
I love it.
That's not going to cause problems later on at all.
No, you'll be fine.
There's water in there.
Cave water.
That's mineral water, bro.
You're fine.
Yeah.
So peering into there, you can see sacks and crates of looted provisions that are piled
at the south end of this large cave.
To the west, the floor slopes toward a narrow opening that descends into darkness.
You gather this is the poop chute.
A larger opening leads north, where you guys are, down a set of natural stone steps and
the roar of the falling waterfall echoes from beyond that area.
In the middle of the cavern, coals of a large fire smolder.
And you see these flames of this large fire reaching up to like a good height, maybe six
feet tall.
This is a nice size fire that's burning in there.
Every once in a while, you see one of these honor guard goblins grab something from the
provisions and just throw it into the fire to keep it going.
It soaks it and it just ignites.
Goes up.
Goes up in a flash.
Where's the other guy?
Sildar?
Yeah, Sildar.
That's what I was trying to think of.
He's standing right behind you.
Where are we going to have Yimek and Sildar doing?
Assisting us.
Everyone, get in here.
What do we need to do?
Point me in the right direction.
What would you have me?
Tell anything that comes out of the room.
So what's our plan?
Are we whipping one out or are we having Yimek go in and send one out?
Think we should probably just whip one out at this point, no?
Yeah, because if the leader is so gung-ho about doing schedules and stuff, I don't think
he would allow a release shift.
Was the rest long enough for shifting?
No, you guys just took a power hour there.
Nobody's made a move out of there.
I think we should have Yimek guarding Bishop and have Sildar guarding Super.
That way, if you need to, you can also draw advantage.
And if you need to, there's somebody there to help you survive.
Okay, Mirren's going to have his blade armor.
He wants to be hit.
Yeah, but not by a wolf or those little guys.
I'd rather save it for the big fella.
Right, exactly.
So yeah, if we tie 2-2 and then me and Mirren be a team of two.
Okay.
I got a plan.
I've got your back.
I got your back, dude.
I'm here with you.
Once, before we start, can I turn back to myself and put my regular armor on?
During the short rest?
No, no.
Absolutely not.
You left your other armor in the other room and caught fire.
I got too close to one of those campfires.
The big metal.
It's currently up there melting.
A snake did bite through it, so I'm assuming it was cardboard armor anyway.
No, it was the venom from the snake.
It was acidic and it has rusted through all of the chain links.
Where'd you buy this, Dalek General?
Where'd you find that on the Bothans provision card?
It would be Copper General.
All right.
Yeah, we could say that you took on your unusual form and that you redawned your armor.
You sure you don't want to go on this lower AC?
All right.
Yeah.
No.
I can talk you into that, huh?
All right.
Well, then I'm going to turn to everybody, make sure that they're ready.
I nod.
I'll nod.
Okay.
Marin?
Hi.
I'm going to ready to cast Mind Sliver on the thing, the goblin, if it comes out into
vision.
I'm going to ready cast Toll.
I'm going to ready to launch an arrow at the wolf.
All right.
And away we go.
17 to hit.
Nice.
So you whip out your vine whip, thorn whip, vine whip.
We call it what we find here, emerald.
It reaches out and it finds purchase on this goblin.
That is a hit.
All right.
Rolling for some damage.
I have expected to be like an invisible wall block.
Finally get the good hit with that.
I don't know if you saw my crit, bro.
I rolled two sixes and a five.
Now before I lose rolling a one.
How many, how much damage did you get there?
All right.
Six points of piercing.
Eesh, that hurt and you're going to pull him 10 feet towards you.
Yes.
Five.
I see a double.
All right.
So he is pulled out from his location into onto the steps in front of the cave.
Everyone else takes notice.
I'm going to launch my arrow.
Go ahead.
You can resolve your ready to action.
And after that we will roll for initiative.
Yeah.
You shot the wolf.
18 to hit.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's going to hit.
Seven points of damage.
All right.
That hurt.
I'm not going to lie.
All right.
Your arrow flies past the goblin that just got yoinked onto the stairs.
Sails past the other goblin, just almost nipping his cheek and finds itself lodged in the shoulder
blade of this wolf that cries out in pain.
Go ahead, Marin.
Two more.
Yeah.
You know, I snarl out.
What are you going to do?
I snarl out Karadzabrak and this guy needs to make an intelligence saving throw.
All right.
Well, I'm just going to go out on the limb here and say goblins.
That's the spot.
Oh, man.
He sent the mighty sliver back.
Fine, man.
Yes.
The thorn whip had its marks.
I went to grade school.
Make a wisdom one.
We'll see how it's going to be either way.
Goblins.
A little less wise than we are smart.
Come on.
Nice.
You're going hot.
I rolled an adjusted one.
The opposite edge of the spectrum.
All right.
I don't think I like where this is going.
How do you want to do it?
This is a silent one.
First of all, tell me that damage.
Is that the 10 damage?
On a cantrip.
Yeah, that's going to do it.
This is the silent killer.
The old... the little head shaking and the bola coming out of his head.
See the image of a bell with a skull on it.
Falls dead.
Right on the steps.
Yeah, that bell.
So cool.
All right.
Are we done triggering all of our triggers and killing my honor guard?
All right.
Are you sure you didn't have one?
Believe we are ready for everyone.
You're going to give me the advantage.
All right, Marin, what we get?
I got a nine.
The niner.
I just need you to be before me.
So we're all good.
All right.
So we got Emras 14.
Korrin 13.
Sildar came in with a strong 11.
Marin followed him up with a nine and then Bishop bringing up the bottom with a two.
It is my creature's turn to go first.
You might know him, you might not.
Hit him.
You just need to...
You might know him, you might not.
He goes by the name Ripper.
It is the wolf.
And he has 40 feet of movement
and is awfully upset at this guy
who just shot him with an arrow.
He's gonna move five, 10, 15, 20.
And he's biting for your package.
Oh, it's gonna be, it's gonna air it out.
You know, this is the last wolf of the cave here.
They got a plus four to hit.
Not too bad.
How's the 22 get you?
Wow, you know what?
That is a total miss.
So how much damage?
You know what?
I'll pull the screen on this one too.
They get 2d4 plus two.
So let's see what I get here.
Oh, that's gonna be nine points of piercing damage
as he just latches down on your junk.
He don't like being shot with arrows.
It's usually the right target to attack.
It'll end his turn.
Amorous, you are up.
You see this wolf come out
and just viciously attack Corrin in his genitalia.
Okay, one second, I'm reading something.
Okay, nevermind.
I'm going to move here.
Actually here.
And I'm going to swing at the wolf.
If you do move here, you would get advantage for flank.
Oh, flanking is not good.
But it is dangerous.
And then you could move after you attack up here.
Okay, Adam, I'm proud of you.
I'm on your side.
Whose side are you on, Rhys?
He's my Pokemon, I gotta keep him going.
Thanks, dude.
That's true, isn't it?
Amorous, Amorous, Amorous.
Amorous, move the flank.
I'm going to swing my scimitar at it.
But I will use Lucky to get advantage on this attack.
That is not how Lucky can use afterwards.
Yeah, no, yeah, no, uh-uh.
But you're already getting advantage.
Lucky, after you roll,
but before you hear the result, you can choose to reroll.
Oh, okay, well then it's even better.
Very, very good.
Let's give it up for our rules, Lawyer Croaker.
I love it.
Now do you want to use Lucky?
I do.
He was going to roll terrible to begin with.
He rolled two nat 4s with two d20s.
You just roll one more time.
Now you get to roll that Lucky die.
Roll low.
No.
Perfect.
You want to keep the seven?
Yeah.
I'll take the seven.
That couldn't have went better.
You guys, I'm going to stick to the whip.
This reminds me of one of your favorite tables to roll on.
Oh my gosh.
That's our crit fumble table.
Yeah, but I'm not going to roll on that.
Do you remember that one?
I'm going to choose a seven.
He rolled with advantage.
He got a four and a one.
He chooses a four, right?
Oh, that's right.
You don't have to take Lucky.
No, it says, and you choose which die to use.
Okay.
Yeah, that's lucky for you.
That could have been bad.
Lucked out on that one.
I seem to remember someone falling
and cracking their head open last time.
We're trying to shoot a boat.
You want to take a five foot step there
and then you can finish the move to get out of the entryway.
You sure you don't want to fall prone
and take 3d6 damage and become unconscious for one minute
until you receive damage from any source?
I'm going to have to save it for another time.
Yeah.
All right.
Maybe next time.
Well, that's the end of my turn.
Corrin.
I am hurting bad.
This thing is just slashed on you.
I'm hurting bad both in game and in real life
because I just got a charlie horse in my leg.
So what happens?
So let's say he teleports.
Two things happen in my mind.
Either he teleports with the dog
or does the dog still keep what's in its mouth
as he teleports?
Well, luckily we don't have to go to that scenario
because I'm out of teleports.
Fast forward the next three hours outside of this cave.
Corrin's just looking for magical healing.
Here's some good berries.
Okay.
I'm an arm strike.
I'm pretty pissed off, right?
Well, actually, wait a minute.
Can I make a five foot step
to the south end of this creature?
Yeah.
So I want to do this attack with advantage of flanking.
Yeah, he's just flavor latched on your junk.
You don't have to grapple with condition.
Doing a big fight.
24 to hit.
I don't like it.
Let's deliver some punishment back to him.
Six points.
I imagine I'm in extreme pain
and I'm just gonna, I'm gonna head bash him.
Oh.
He didn't use his arms in it.
I'm like in extreme pain.
So I'm just gonna bash him right in the face
with my mask.
In a rage.
Unorthodox monk rage.
You head bash the wolf and it hits the ground.
It is called an arm strike.
That's true.
Let's see, would you like to do anything else?
I am going to limp away to.
Rinse yourself off the water.
I'm gonna limp away to, let's see.
I'm gonna go stand behind Seldar.
Yeah, me too.
I'll be like, sorry, I got ravaged back there.
I will cover you from afar.
It was pretty nuts up there.
Yes.
It's quite a, it's quite a ride.
Hey, you don't look so good.
Should I stay back here?
I was charged with protecting master emperors over there.
All right, go to his assistance.
He's gonna need it.
Hey, how do you do the fancy thing again?
You bring up the ruler and hit space bar.
That's what we're doing.
Oh, okay, yeah, I like that.
So Seldar comes up to the side of you and he says.
Well.
What's the plan?
They come out, we kill them.
Either that or I pull them out.
One way they're coming out.
Right, very well.
I stand ready.
He's gonna ready an action.
The first thing that gets within his scimitar,
he is going to splash away.
First enemy, I should say, I point out.
Or maybe not.
Rin, you're up.
Yeah.
Get out of here.
Oh, the owl's gonna come out, yay.
It kills the bird.
I do a live by here and I'm gonna harass this goblin
or Dayan's gonna harass this goblin a bit
for the help action.
Or it flies on back.
By the God's dirt wizard, you see an owl in the cave.
Attack.
And then, and then I, Rin is going to.
What's the distance here?
Can I just, yeah, put that guy in particular.
In particular.
I'm gonna snarl out a Karad-Zabrak again.
And Clark needs to make an intelligence saving throw.
I don't, I don't care for that.
Intelligence saving throw, you say, huh?
Okay.
Let it be known.
Goblins, slightly smarter than bugbears.
That's not gonna do it for finally.
He's gonna take three whole points of damage.
But more importantly, the next time he makes a saving throw
before the end of my next turn,
he gets minus one D4 on the roll.
Okay.
Okay. What is, what's going on with him there?
Oh, it was a mind sliver.
What was it that you hit me with?
Oh, I don't know why I just pulled that.
Sorry, here it is.
Some mines.
So I drove a disorienting spike of psychic energy
into his mind.
Yes.
It's fucking metal.
Where is this?
Let's see, I want to put something on it.
It's gonna tell me.
This is gonna remind me here.
All right.
That's good.
Forget it.
Mind that sliver, will you?
Is that like a mixed drink?
You wanna have a bar that has nothing
but mixed drinks named after itself?
The AMF can be hurled to you, Hurl.
You have to roll a D20 to see how much you're paying.
Oh, that would be cool.
For failure, they can't put twice as much.
Yes, that will end my turn.
Okay, you hear him shout, out of my head.
And he is going to move up.
Get away.
Move away.
Get away, fool.
Don't let them pull you out like the other one.
The great clog shall not be defeated so easily.
How the hell did he move?
Did he run?
Did he run this way?
Did he appear?
Can't see him.
You don't know.
You can see him.
I can't see him.
That ends his turn.
Right, yeah.
No, that was, that's fucking nuts.
You're right.
I feel like you did that on purpose on my turn.
Right there.
I feel like you did that on purpose on my turn.
Right there.
What do you see from there, buddy?
This is a really cool map.
I know.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Go ahead and give me the picture.
You walk into this area.
You walk into Clark's Cave.
On the east side there,
you see like this makeshift throne.
You imagine that he sits there,
gives his orders out to the goblins.
You see the fire raging in front of you.
You're looking at the throne
and your eyes move over just to the left of it
as a javelin is hurtling towards you.
Eight.
I think an eight probably hits, right?
It hits, you know what?
You were like naked and had an arrow in your leg.
Since I love you as a DM, it hits,
but it hits the wall behind me.
Oh, god.
Play with my emotions.
What's the DC on the wall?
It might not have hit the wall.
It's a five.
I don't have you know,
it's a five to hit a specific tile.
It flies past you and shatters into splinters on the wall
just beyond you.
I'm gonna ready bowl, I guess.
And you just cast, oh.
Yeah, what's your trigger?
If I see a goblin or a bugbear.
You definitely see a bugbear.
Oh, okay, sorry.
Just cast bowl, I'll come.
Wait, wait, wait.
Did the guy with ultra dark vision just say-
Everything is black and white.
It's a little dark there.
It's hard to tell things.
A little dark over there.
No, no.
Oh, you don't get to see the color in here, do you?
He walks around.
I said, fortunately.
With devil's light.
Color, you know, whatever.
Oh, hold on.
Hold on a second.
What?
What's this?
This is, you guys.
I can't believe you guys.
Oh, it's not black and white anymore.
How could you do this to me?
What'd you do?
I got-
How long does that last?
Hold on.
What was that?
It lasts...
Oh, one hour.
One hour and 10 minutes.
We're speed running though, right?
You did say it was a power rest.
I'm not sure.
Let's see.
So you can see all of the cave right now, right, Emerson?
Like all of the water, the high pool, twin pool area.
Okay, now if I do this-
I can only see the water behind me
and the room here.
And then you see, do you see the-
Oh, he would have saw the goblin
because of the fire inside.
Yeah.
But I would not have seen the dog
that I tried to swing on here.
Right.
That's okay.
I can see it.
You could have heard him.
Maybe he ran towards him that way.
I kind of feel a little something because of the fire.
I think you can see adjacent to yourself anyway
in the dark nook mansion.
But he wasn't over there to start with.
Not according to my screen right now.
Maybe I'm wrong.
I think dark is just dark.
You should learn light, bro.
You guys all have 60 foot of dark vision?
Yeah.
You guys all have 60 foot, right?
Let me make adjustments.
Tone you guys down from your crazy 300 here.
It's about to go dark.
Nice catch.
I don't know that much is gonna change actually.
Thunder?
Yeah.
I wanted you to give yourself a bottle cap.
Yeah.
Oh, you know what?
It's good remembering it.
I'll just take one from all you guys for that.
Thank you.
I'm gonna charge Amorous for bottle cap for cheating.
Intentionally?
I mean, I can see that.
I think that's fair.
I'll take my bottle cap away.
No, it's fine.
That's my slip.
I need to be better on that.
If anyone, I'm gonna punish my rules lawyer.
I can't know everyone's feet because I'm straight.
Okay, so I want you, sir.
I want you to roll a wisdom while mine's living.
I'm gonna roll a D4 and you can subtract that from it.
You're gonna remove a three from whatever you roll.
All right.
I rolled a frickin' 99.
Minus three.
How's the 16 do you there, Bishop?
This guy must have won the church or something.
He's all right.
Yeah.
You wanna bloodbath churches around here?
Church of God.
I am going to accept the next thing that happens to me.
Okay.
Brings us to Emres.
I'm going to move towards the room.
Oh wait, those five.
I'm gonna stumble over the corpse of the dog I can't see.
Perfect.
Take one point of bludgeoning damage.
You hit your head on the cave.
Fuck.
It's a pretty rough terrain for you since you can't see it, right?
That's it.
Oh man, now the blood's gone down your eyes.
Preventing you from seeing.
Skip the rabble button.
Fuck, I don't wanna rip it towards Bishop.
You ain't.
I'm a masochist.
I'm gonna move in a little.
Oh, I see the goblin now.
Get him.
I'm gonna pull the goblin.
You're not supposed to do it.
Into the fire.
Hey, there's a perfectly healthy plug bay over there.
Oof.
Oh, I would like to use a point of bludgeoning.
Don't tell me if I had succeeded.
Alright.
Yes.
I'm gonna do a three damage.
Three damage.
Alright.
Repiercing.
Your thorn whip reaches out,
wraps around his neck and you yank.
Get over here.
Five,
10.
Really cool scorpion effect there.
Thank you.
I'm digging that.
Sounded a little bit like,
I don't know, a monster man Randy Savage.
Get over here brother.
Tell us what you're gonna do, Randy.
Oh shit, I got an end turn.
Corrin.
Alright.
I'm gonna start by moving up 15.
Your boys are in the cave.
I don't see anything so far.
Taking their five foot.
Oh.
Come on in.
The water's nice.
Alright, I see the goblin.
You know, I did ready.
Don't run it.
Goblin, but we're just gonna.
I mean resolve it.
Yeah.
I mean, he was just gonna shoot it
the first thing that came out.
I forgot I readied with both of these guys.
I ran and readied.
That was supposed to happen.
Resolve it, yeah.
Yeah.
Or we get too far here.
Hey, you're gonna take a shot real quick
before he gets shanked around the neck.
We're gonna retcon.
I don't think you're gonna like that.
I would like to use a bubble cap.
Too late.
I mean, you can.
We're retconning those, bro.
Yeah.
You spend that cap, bro.
I was saving that for the clard, but.
Cool.
There we go.
Retconning directly.
No.
Say it, say it, say it.
Yeah, I rolled that one.
Oh, how do you even do that?
Zero to zero.
That's like that.
Oh.
God, he drops his bow,
gets wrapped around the neck by a thorn whip
and yank 10 feet towards you.
He had a good imagination
before getting pulled towards.
Do we know this guy's name?
Dang it.
He's not named so far.
My name be Charles.
You never asked my name, dude.
All right, Corey, take your turn, please.
I'm done retconning and rolling terribly after bottle caps.
I moved 15 feet so far.
I wanna take a shot at your goblin here.
See if we can't finish him off.
All right, shot at the gob.
You're gonna need to roll a little better than a nine.
I think I'm hurting a little much.
My hand is shaking.
I wanna take another breather.
Sure, your hand is shaking.
So then I'm going to, oops,
I got the wrong thing selected.
I'm gonna take a step backwards.
All right, taking that step.
And then I'll end my turn.
Okay,
still Dahr looks back to Marin.
Kill the goblin.
Now he says, he says he ran in.
I'm going in as well.
Hi.
You okay out here?
Still Dahr charges in.
20.
Oh, I see why Sildar was useless out here.
He can't see in the dark.
Now he's blind.
He says, dirt wizard.
He almost got you with that one.
Well played.
Thank you.
He will swing out.
Let's see, he doesn't have a long sword.
He does have the short sword of the scimitar.
That's right.
Okay, just reading it.
That's sick.
He's sixer.
Real quick, let me find his to hit real quick.
Don't want to play this fair.
I don't think anyone's used the help action.
The advantage from my help action on that guy.
I don't think so.
That's good.
That's good because I rolled garbage.
Totally forgot about that anyways.
All right, I rolled,
I rolled an eight and a nine.
That's not going to cut it.
Then he's going to go to swing again.
Does this gentleman here has multi-attack?
What's help action do on an attack?
It gives the next person advantage.
The help action gives someone advantage on something.
He rolled an 11.
So he's in there, he's trying, he's swinging.
This goblin's just ducking and diving out of the way.
He swings down, his scimitar clanks off the ground.
He's like, ah, it's a bit too short for my liking.
I wield the long blades better.
It's all yours, I'm afraid.
Brent.
Well, first,
let's do a bit of a look-see.
The bird's going to go in here and harass this goblin again
and it's going to fly by over here.
Then five, 10, 15, 20, 25.
Just fucking out.
I'm going to run over here and step in front of Bishop.
I'm going to murder the phrase,
Barak Arr.
As I trace a sigil of warding in the air in front of me
and I'm going to cast Blade Ward
and that'll be it for me.
All right.
Oh, my major armor is still active.
I have an armor of agathys active that I cast
before we came in here and now Blade Ward as well.
All right, you're just like Iron Man right now.
All right.
Oh, that's cool.
That's crazy shit going on.
Yeah, but smaller.
I saw that happen when I was walking
to go close the tunnel.
Did you cast that in too?
Huh?
I didn't do that one just now.
It was thunder.
I wondered what it was.
I thought it was like a trigger walking over something
so I walked over it twice.
Okay, let's see.
That ends your turn.
Brings us to
Peasants, step in the chamber of clog.
You're not worthy to be in the presence of the great clog.
I will strike you down.
I'm going to step up, bro.
He's going to step up and he's going to swing on this dwarf.
It's all shiny with all this magic on him.
15 different armor buffs.
With a morning star, he raises above his head.
I don't know.
You're pretty beefed up.
Is 17 going to hit?
Arm press is huge right now.
Yes.
Yes, you dwarven wizard.
I'll teach you a thing or two.
Oh, no.
That's 2d8 plus two.
For 17 points.
Half that is.
Piercing damage as he cracks the thing.
He swings into me and the bladeward intercepts his strike and it
it slows it down like molasses.
So he hits me lighter than he would have otherwise.
So instead of taking 17, I'm going to take eight points of damage,
which is still significant.
It breaks through my armor of agathys, which shatters and sends out shards of ice into him.
He's going to take five points of full damage.
And then he is going to rough me up a little bit on top of that.
And I am at three.
I'm at bloody to half my hit point.
OK.
Before he ends his turn.
He's picking pieces of ice splitters out of his cheek.
Ah, how dare you.
Nobody makes Clark bleed his own nut.
And he is going to.
Now, he's not smart enough for that.
He's going to stand and bang.
All right, that brings us to the goblin.
Still, our took two swings at him.
Ting, ting.
But you were the one that hurt him.
So we're going to go.
Amherst was the one to hurt him, actually deal damage.
So he has choices here.
He can swing on Sildar or he can swing on Amherst.
I'm going to roll a d4.
One to two Sildar, three to four Amherst.
I've got a question.
That's a two.
So he's.
No, the fuck is easy.
Oh, yeah.
I think I think I got a ton of the.
This.
You fall asleep.
I mean, it kind of makes sense if he doesn't have to engage.
He might not because he's a scared little goblin.
He is scared of me.
And if we lose, then he's got an alibi.
I'm right here.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I've been here the whole time.
Now he's probably like.
I get this.
Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
Yeah, we will resolve this turn momentarily.
Let me finish.
Let me finish killing Sildar with my goblin.
It's going to be a d6 because he hit definitely hit.
Box cars.
Yeah, we're on rate on my damage dice and I am loving this.
That's eight points of slashing damage.
As he swings the scimitar back, it's so darn.
He says, you might not be good with the short blade, but I am.
And he is going to use.
Nimble escape bonus action to.
Nimble escape bonus action disengage.
He's going to move.
Five and.
Oh, 15.
20.
And here.
To protect his key.
I would say Bishop, but we're going to go to EMAG.
He was going to run down the hole.
We'll see.
We'll give we'll give him a.
Mean three here.
And sorry, I had to take a leak.
What I miss, what I miss.
It comes to be protected.
Wasn't there?
Oh, yeah, you got you know.
No, you didn't take care of it, did you?
Yeah, I did my job.
You're not hurt.
You're not nobody told me to watch the dwarf.
He's going to come up right here.
He's going to draw a scimitar out.
He says.
I never liked you, Stanley.
Oh, he's named now.
He has a name.
That's a 20, a dirty 20 to hit.
First, he's just seven points is slashing.
I am crushing it with this.
He just lops his head off.
Just just just one clean swoosh.
Just the head just comes flying off and it lands in the camp, the bonfire in the middle
of the room behind him.
The headless body hits the ground.
And that will end he makes a K easy turn.
Bishop.
See, I come in here like the all stock.
They call me to close.
And he has advantage potentially.
Yeah, yeah.
Should have been a good role than 18.
I mean, just guys, just heads off.
The only but the goody.
Go ahead and.
Nice.
I don't want to.
Maybe.
I don't want.
All right.
A little wiser than Goblin.
Bears.
I.
Ha, can I just lie on a lie?
I definitely don't want to play that.
I'll lie.
I'll lie on my.
You get to lie on that.
So that's a 12.
Great, you rolled one.
All right.
Three points.
Disgusting product.
Yeah, it's a chronic damage.
That's a scary, dirty.
And I will hold my position, protecting the owl.
All right.
Um.
It shifts over there, holding themselves.
Let's get Emmeriss.
All right.
OK, step across the fire.
I didn't maybe I shouldn't be that.
Well, if you end your turn in the fire, you take damage.
Go ahead.
The the path you take will be more important later on.
All right, well, then pretend I did this.
Boop boop.
There you go.
Oh, you you walk through the fire.
You put it out.
Everything just black.
I can see my one my character and that's it.
And I'm going to take a crack at him.
With my semitar.
The band.
Puny dirt wizard.
Wait, how do I hear no match for clog?
What's going on?
I've been I've been on whipping this whole time.
I don't know how to make it look cool.
Here we go.
Now, how did I do it again?
How do you make the?
Why don't we just see if you did it?
Now, that was me.
And.
Oh, it was you.
Oh, what?
I just saw it again.
I always have to figure this out.
You go down to the bottom one on the left and then you hit the play effect button
and then you can drag around.
But maybe you're all to hit.
I'm in the middle of some serious business real quick.
Which would you look up there?
All right.
Manager sequences that one.
Is it the player?
But I clicked the player and it's not doing it.
You will.
You have to be on the play effect thing.
You can have the manager open, but you have to be on the play effect option.
So again, on the right down at the bottom, sequence layer and then play effects.
Sequence layer.
So see, I fuck it.
There we go.
Did it do it?
No, that was.
I was saying that we go to your off.
Fuck it.
Well, then now I don't want to say that.
It's OK.
I don't even know how to do it.
I'm just going to accept that.
You're no match for clog.
Puny.
Dirt.
Swing for 11 and whiff.
Now you hit him, but it's just like a little bit of a
you hit him, but it's just like a little bit.
That was the plastic sword.
It.
All right.
Who's next?
Corey.
I want to move 15 feet in.
I see him.
And then so for like a shot for lucky,
since I know my own AC, I have to say I want like I have to give you
disadvantage, right?
Like before you roll or before you tell me the number or something
before he tells you the number, I would imagine.
So basically watch the screen like a hawk and see if he gets excited.
Twenty three.
I'm not broadcasting today.
Boiled again.
I'm wearing my pants.
I'm wearing my poker face today.
Yeah, that's good.
That's going to make me do it.
Should have made Ranger actually image.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
He's still up, but that hurt.
And then.
Yeah, it's.
I lost a bit of my movement, 15.
Tucker around this corner right here.
And now in my turn.
It's still Dars turn.
Still, Dara takes one step forward.
Actually, he takes a step over.
He's sort of staggering and he falls to one knee.
And he's just clutching at this wound that's going across his abdomen.
And he is he's not looking good.
Yeah, I'm going full well, but if I stand here, I'm probably dead.
Unconsciously, at least I'm going to take a I'm going to take a 200
grip on my battle axe and I'm going to take a big swing with advantage
of a flank. Oh, I don't like teen on the die for 22 to hit.
Oh, just stop. Just just stop.
All right. Oh, 11 points of damage.
Oh, no damage.
There's no. Oh, I want to I want to do a big anime moment
where I wipe the blood off my chin and then I take my hat
and I just bury it in his chest and he can fall over.
He looks it's a big look of surprise on his face and tips over dead.
His his eyes go wide.
Blood flies from his mouth.
You hear him say.
This is not a lot of dice.
This is he stumbles around the room.
Stumbles a little more.
And then he falls face first into the flames,
but the fire in the bonfire.
I guess he hit anymore, but at least we get the loot.
Well, where does everyone go?
I'm I'm quite hurt.
Me too. And I'll grab a shoulder.
Yes, your job is nearly ripped off.
It's not to refer to that.
Can you guys drag the body out of the fire, please?
I.
Can't even see the fire.
Just that. Oh, yeah.
Brand new, brand new, you try.
I met a man out of the fire and like it.
I met a flame without going with the axle and it's
possibly like drags the body.
And if you get my act back out of it, that's cool.
The fire reignites because it hasn't been out that long.
It's still super hot.
I should bring the big old spit on the floor. You must see the fire.
It goes out.
You use my put all the fire bigger than a batch.
Lots that.
All the shit, those, you guys did it.
Said we would just see me lop off pretty.
Yes, it's pretty fucking sweet, though.
Remind me not to be on your bad side.
Easy. I I'm going to stumble over
flop down in Clark's throne.
Because I am pretty beat up, I got hit with a big old morning stuck.
You know, I'm going to I'm going to loot the room.
So I'm fine.
Look, it's 17 points of damage on that one.
I want to loot the body in front of me.
All right. All right.
So you guys taking your time, walking around, doing some lit for traps
or anything dangerous, but we're just opening things.
OK, I like that.
I like I like you, Aaron, on the side of caution.
Roll me an investigation check.
You're taking your time.
You're sifting through these things with advantage, with guidance.
No, with advantage and an extra default.
Wait, advantage.
Yeah, because he's the ship took the help.
Option. Oh, then out of before.
I said this one. Yeah, it's this one.
When he was oops, the triangle.
OK, yeah.
The prism dice.
I don't know better.
You know, 22 investigations.
Moving through here and sifting through the things.
You uncover from the crates, you notice on the side of the crates, on the supplies,
there's a lion shield costar.
It's like a there's an image of a lion shield on the side of it.
It's been painted on there like a brand.
There's a bunch of just provisions in all of these.
So you see like some simple weapons, you see some food, rations,
you see bandages, just some just some real simple provisions.
Corrin, you're looking over the body of Clark.
And you find a key.
That's around his neck.
And as you're searching around, Emmeriss,
you find a chest that's locked and it is right about Schmerz
in the southeast area of the room.
I'm sorry, Northeastern right there.
Northeast area of the room.
And while they're at all, during that month, I can.
Silas, but the lower.
I knew that I did still.
I'm quite hurt.
He's like been holding his abdomen, he like moves his hands
and you see all this blood and you could see like there's some
some intestine kind of hanging out from his belly.
So who's the most injured here?
I'm at two hit points.
Is anyone? I'm not doing too hot.
Hey, I'm not doing too hot.
I'm not doing too hot.
He's got me.
Is anyone like fatally wounded?
Or is that not how this works?
Like everyone's safe at this point.
OK. Yeah, they're safe.
Well. There were a little piece of your intestine
is hanging out of your belly.
I know when he started describing it like that.
I don't know if I call that safe.
Well, you look over a man half of the skull.
I'm fine, guys.
There's definitely some bruising
because I have one one last last spell slot that I can use to heal
if somebody is in jeopardy of going down.
Not so much that.
We do need to go fetch our horse and carriage.
See how much of this we can load onto it.
So we don't find no shape to travel at the moment.
Yeah, we don't find Sildar's gear.
No, I found the key.
I checked the chest for track, you know, because there's that like
bone hanging out of the top of the chest.
I thought that was like a giant like ham hawk or something.
You approach the chest.
All of these provisions have a lion shield provisions logo on them.
Yes. All right.
They have the lion shield cost.
Once they finish the lion shield with the chest,
I do want to do a bit of a history on lion shield. OK.
Yeah, it's like a blue shield.
Catch this. I toss him the key.
All right. I'm going to roll a dexterity check.
The key floats through the air and it's making its way towards you.
And we know blackout and we'll see you next time.
Oh, boy.
The loop says.
The three people that it's definitely not.
I'm worried that it's something.
Surely it can be a mimic at this point in the game.
