Last time on the Empire Initiative. As our heroes
explored the maze, Reign is besieged by the Masters
of Ravens to find their temple and continue her
training. Dart and Zavari find their way to Reign,
but they still cannot see each other. Being clever
crusaders, they coated their swords in magical
flames, which they could see, and had the added
benefit of deterring the shadow creatures. Using
this trick, they located the various gems which
fit perfectly into the bracers that had appeared
on their arms, unlocking them. A deck of cards,
seemingly designed especially for them, appeared
in each of their bracers. Are the crusaders ready
for their final trial? Let's hear from our master
of dungeons on how this card game will work!
Thanks, announcer guy! Hey everybody, it is your
master of dungeons here and today we're going
to be doing something a little bit different.
We are going to be playing a combination of Dungeons
and Dragons and Yu -Gi -Oh! But not Yu -Gi -Oh!
We're actually playing my own game. Please don't
sue us. Yes, it's called Creature Battle. Similar
to, but legally distinct from Yu -Gi -Oh. Exactly.
Inspired by. That's good, inspired by. Yes, heavily
inspired by. But the idea will be that the characters
and the creatures will be battling on the same
field. When creatures are attacking creatures...
They can destroy each other instantly when the
players are attacking creatures. They have to
deal a certain amount of damage We're using the
minion rules from MCDM There are incantations
which are kind of like spells in TNT except They
don't require any spell slots or anything like
that There are traps which are pretty self -explanatory
and there are creatures and We are going to fight
and see who comes out on top. It's time to enter
the sound bite here. This is episode 19, Heart
of the Cards. It's time to b -b -b -b -b -b -b
-b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b
-b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b -b - And
it's in a very large opulent room, somewhat akin
to like a throne room. There are stairs leading
up to higher balconies with viewing platforms
and seating. It is completely empty and it has
that same sort of must, like musty sort of like
stale smell. And it's just like a, you guys just,
you just materialize and you're all standing
in a line. In this room It's quiet and it's like
kind of dark It's like it's like there are torches
on the wall with like the magic lighting But
they're like kind of low lighting and also the
flames that were on your guys's swords They blow
out You see emerging from one of the like the
uppermost platform. There's like staircases on
both sides that lead up to a Golden platform
with a red opulent red carpet walking out from
like Seemingly out of nowhere out of thin air
you see a tall thin man who is wearing like he
is he is like heavily adorned and and jewelry
and like What's the word? regalia regalia regalia
He is iced out essentially, I mean he has He
actually like you actually immediately kind of
recognize the silhouette as the the depiction
of like the person that you saw In the first
room Who has had their hand up and they were
commanding like a green like creature? Spiky
hair the spiky hair which you originally looked
it looked like a headdress But you now realize
that it is like it's a big spiky purple and black
and gold hair And the hair, it's like the hair
itself is like styled to be his headdress. You
would anticipate him looking dead, but he doesn't.
He looks perfectly healthy and alive. He has
like a very, very nice like... Golden sort of
tan skin a large like piercing purple eyes and
He has kind of in around his neck He has like
a chain and a like upside down sort of like pyramid
like a big upside down golden pyramid that has
an eye on him and He has a very stern serious
expression stick eyeliner like he The drip is
crazy. And he is also spotting a battle bracer
as well. His is of course more opulent than yours.
But yeah, so you see this shadowy figure. And
as he walks out, the lights brighten. As if he
has a stage crew. The theatrics are amazing,
I must admit. You see a spotlight hit him. I'm
taking notes for Zaris. And he, he displays just
the slightest smirk. Crusaders! I am impressed
at your performance in the Labyrinth. I am the
Pharaoh Adem. Hi. Hello, sir. I don't know how
to address a Pharaoh, but hello, sir. Welcome
to my tomb. Tomb? Indeed. And it may be yours
as well. Oh, here we fucking go. You have impressed
me with your teamwork. And I want you to know
that you have now reached the final trial of
the pharaoh. Should you succeed by defeating
me in battle with your battle bracers, I will
reward you handsomely. What do you say, Dart?
What happens if we lose? This becomes our tomb.
If you lose, and he reaches for his battle -bracer
and pulls a card, and you see right before he
pulls the card, his... His necklace sort of glows
like the pyramid on his necklace glows for just
a moment. He pulls a card and he holds up a card
that says Talaran the Valiant And he is like
if you lose you join my deck. Oh Is that someone
we should know What's this? Talaran the Valiant
when I win this battle I'm gonna loot your pyramid.
I don't think that you will find that necessary.
Lord Dart. Also, my Lord, Honorable Pharaoh.
Atem. All of it works. Lord Atem. Oh, I thought
your name was Adam. I was gonna say it, but if
I was Vo, I would have been like, Oh, Adam. But
it wasn't Vo. a guy named adam bullied me in
elementary school a fraud named adam my vengeance
oh um also um i'll seal you away in my deck and
banish you to the umbra realm oh just you know
small small detail what we are playing is technically
an umbra game i don't know anything about this
No, yeah, you wouldn't know anything about it.
You're like, what? You're like, I know about
realms. I don't know about the shit. I don't
know the damn thing. I have not wandered there.
The Umbra what? Umbra games? Umbra? Yeah, it's
an Umbra game. What, the Hunger Games? Yes. But
for Umbra more? Girl, but no. Umbra, not umber.
If you have no further questions, ham crusaders,
it is time to battle. What if I don't, what if
I don't, what if I decline? Can I decline and
not end up a part of your deck? If you wish to
leave, you may leave now. I'm not gonna ask you
guys if you wanna leave. Let's play the fucking
game. Shuffle your decks. You see, it's already
like shuffling her deck already. nervous. Rain
is just no look shuffling, making complete eye
contact with giant purple eyed Pharaoh. But also
just preparing for like peripheral stuff too,
just in case. As you guys are like shuffling,
he kind of steps forward on a platform that lowers
him down to like the level. of the pit and um
you guys like there's like basically that little
area that you're in is like the level of the
pit but there but uh there's like a little half
wall here so you kind of need to like you have
to like you have to get forward a little bit
to like actually be inside of it if that makes
sense um so when you are ready We roll initiative
you roll initiative And I can use my oracle Ability
to Do a nature check to identify the weak points
of one creature. You can see DC 10 plus half
CR rolled down success Means I can add proficiency
to my attack rolls um okay go ahead if you're
gonna target this yeah you're gonna target the
pharaoh i am gonna target the pharaoh i'm gonna
do my initiative first 18 and then my nature
check i got an 18 as well so it's 10 plus half
cr rolled down around down so yes you succeeded
and your error initiative was 18 yes what's your
initiative Seven. Thirteen. Thirteen. Roll again.
You tied with the pharaoh. Fifteen. Okay, so
rain. Dark. Pharaoh. Zivari. So I was gonna say
earlier that in trying to shuffle my deck I try
to do it like fancy like casino style but I have
clumsy frog fingers and I just shoot my cards
all over the place and I'm like scrambling to
pick them up off the ground. Perfect. Sticky
tongue one that flew far. Some classy king stuff
there. Even though it's like a little dusty the
cards like don't get dirty they're like weirdly...
Dust resistant. Yeah. Just pristine. Cut it in
half. Yeah, you cut it. Me cut it? Yeah, cut
it in half. I'm watching. And then cut it in
half and then... Yeah, yeah, exactly. And then
draw four? We'll draw three. Draw three, yeah.
Well, I guess you could technically draw four,
yeah. Oh, buddy. Why do I have to go first? Dame
Reign, it's your move. Okay, well first I'm gonna
put on Moon Glide and go my 60 feet or how far
away from the Pharaoh am I? Because when I summon
a creature it's 15 feet away from me, right?
Yeah. So then I would want to move within like
15 feet of him. So... From here to the Pharaoh
is 90 feet. Oh. So. 60 and then. OK. So if you
move 60 feet, you would be 30 feet away from
him. So. And then range. The card has 15 movement
and you can play it 15 from you. OK. You would
have just enough movement. And then to play a
card. What is the range? So the range is like
how far like it's attack range Okay, so like
if you have a if you have a card that has range
that it doesn't need to be a melee Okay, so I
want to move my 60 feet. Okay, let me I then
And then I would like to summon the noble air
To the field an attacker defense mode in attack
mode We can attack the pharaoh directly, right?
Yes, you can't attack until everyone has a chance
to play. But yes, you can attack the pharaoh
directly or you can attack his minions. Oh, everybody's
life points are displayed. I forgot to do that.
Sorry. What is yours? 180. You can put it maybe
next to our names too. Yours is 166. I'm 164.
Okay, well, I would like to... Okay, I am summoning
and attack my noble heir, which is Zaris. Do
you want me to read the card? Yeah, you can.
Yeah, sure. Once per turn, you can increase the
attack of one ally or allied creature card by
400 or 1d4 until the end of their next turn.
In addition, the affected creature now has the
attack range of 20 feet, unless their range is
already higher. Attack is 1200, defense is 800.
So I'm placing him down and attack. Okay, and
where would you like to place him like on the
field? 30 feet away from the Pharaoh, but on
to the left of us. Like I'm wanting to, um, or
I guess 15 feet away from me to the left of me.
Um, but within 30 feet of the Pharaoh. Yeah.
Yeah. And since you're 30 feet. Yeah. They can't
attack this round so when you you like so what
you do is you know you when you place the card
on your Battle bracer and when you do that it
like you can feel it kind of like sticks it almost
like feels like it's magnetized it magnetized
magnetizes to it and then you like You kind of
like mentally choose a place and as soon as that
like happens like the card itself kind of like
appears on the ground and out from like the image
of the card materializes. Zaris Umbermore. Long
haired Zaris too. Long haired Zaris. However
like rain imagines them. If that makes sense
like. Good rain. Safe for work. Safe for work
it is. Never mind. No it's basically the card
right like it's them in the Underdark. Yeah,
exactly. Yeah, and they've got like their gun
ready and they've got like a smirk and they look
over at Rain and they go Yeah, I knew it. I was
waiting for the wink They don't like so these
creatures won't like talk but they'll kind of
like have the body language or what you know
what I mean? But they don't they're not gonna
talk. Mm -hmm. It's basically an illusion but
like a solid illusion Like a shadow clone. That
freaks Zavari out. Yeah and like he like like
looks around and like sees Zavari and is like
and just waves. She's like I have a tail right
now. And are you doing anything else? I mean
you have lots of other stuff to do. Yes, I have
yes lots of other things to do. I would like
to Because I still have my action I Can't get
to them. And so I feel like I'm going to do my
hamstring invocation Which is 60 feet range.
So Range spell attack So Rain This one is the
one where she's can throw her javelin missile.
So she pulls like the magical energy that she's
singing out of her mouth and it's forming into
a javelin where she then throws in at the Pharaoh.
Which also I have if I hit that I can add my
proficiency to it. Oh boy, 15. 15 does not hit
the fan. I figured that that does not hit. Okay,
so she misses, she throws and misses because
she's distracted by Zaris. And she is then going
to brush that off, place one card face down.
And then I'm able to do an incantation, right?
As well, or? Yeah, as many cards as you have
in your hand to play, you can play them. I would
like to then do my battlefield incantation. So
I change the battlefield to be the Forest of
Mimicry. And then I'll read the card. So, um,
when this incantation is activated, place four
scrap invi - invitations counters on it. Once
per turn you may remove a scrap invocation and
place it on an ally or an allied creature's card.
Scrap invocations increase attack of the creature
by 200 points for each counter. At the start
of each of your turns 1d6 mimic trees attack
random creatures on the field dealing 1d12 damage.
or half as much on a successful dexterity saving
throw. These mimic trees do not target any creature
cards you control or any creatures within with
at least one scrap invocation counter on them.
So I'll get the scraps. It's kind of complicated,
but it's also a trade for it. I put four of these
bad boys on here. One, two, three, four and that.
I believe ends my turn. That face card down and
ends my turn. Yours comes with props. Hell yeah.
Yay. Question. If my battlefield incantation
goes down but I give out scraps, do people keep
the scraps? Yes. Okay. The scraps are attached.
So the creature that is attached, the card that's
been stewarded, the creature, so like you can
attach it to your, you can attach one to your
allies or their cards. And if that card is destroyed,
the scrap is destroyed. Okay. So yes, you cast
your battlefield incantation. And when you like,
the trees start growing out of the ground. Yeah,
when you cast it, like these pyramids. I got
a green thumb, y 'all. Lots of rain creation.
Yeah, when you cast it a bunch of trees, the
whole building shakes. And by the way, when you
go play it, when you go to play it, the... Gosh,
what a... Battle... Battle bracers. That's right.
When you got to play at the Battle Bracer, like
opens up a secret card slot. And that's where
battlefield incantations go. And you put it in
there and the whole ground shakes. It's like
there's like a mild earthquake. And there's like
big cracks in the floor of the arena. And these
trees just start reaching up out of the ground.
And they have like a little bit of motion to
them a little bit of life. And everything immediately
smells foresty. um if you if you have like a
favorite terrain if if your favorite terrain
is forest if for some reason that comes into
play it's active here um you're welcome other
than that uh the mimic trees attack stuff so
go ahead and roll to see how many mimic trees
attack two so two mimic trees attack random creatures
except for you. Um, so there's... Oh God, did
I make it attacks ours? So rolling through the
floor. So one tree attacks the pharaoh. And the
other tree attacks the pharaoh? Yes. So basically
like, um, some of the trees like they kind of
just like... they kind of just like sprout up
behind him and then just these like huge branches
just wallop them and uh go ahead and roll for
damage. Oh I had a five and a ten. Your battle
bracers have everybody's hit points on them and
they're kind of like you know spaced out to where
you can kind of see who's this who's and you
see that the pharaohs goes down and he goes And
he's like, he kind of like rubs his head a little
bit. Hair still in place. Not bad. Damage on
the board, you can't even attack yet. And that
ends my turn. Nice, nice. King Dark, it's your
move. Um, will you move me up a little bit and
towards the center? Just like where the beginning
of that ring is, I guess. Right there? Yeah,
that's cool. I can do, if I recall correctly,
like my actions and card stuff in whatever order.
It doesn't really matter. Yes, that's correct.
However you want to work out your turn. I will,
I guess I will fire my arrows. At the the pharaoh
before I start dropping stuff on the field Okay,
I'll try sharpshooter with my first arrow And
they're holding that one So not great. It's okay.
I will try again Better 19 and 19 hits. Oh that's
we're 18 damage and then I will lay down my steed
of nobility Charlie Bigbottom in defensive mode
You play it and the card appears on the ground
and out from the image springs a large, but sort
of endearing looking spider. Probably not endearing
to Zavari. I hate this game already. It's like
I've never liked games but this is crazy. Where
would you like to play him? Just in front of
me. Just right in front of Zavari. And then I
will lay these three down. And I am out of cards
and moves. A single bead of sweat goes down the
third. So that's the end of my turn. It's my
move. I will start by activating my incantation.
greedy pottery oh no oh no this allows me to
draw two cards from my deck and add it to my
hand i love the way you're doing it it's so good
now i will activate or sorry now i will summon
my faithful sorceress in defense mode faithful
sorceress has 400 attack and 400 defense points
when she is summoned I can recover an incantation
from my cemetery, and I choose greedy pottery!
You're gonna need some aid, like for this deck.
I need aid right now. Please, please, please.
Help me, help. So then, so after he plays his,
he'll play the fateful sorceress and in front
of him. And now, and he holds his hand up and
he looks at Reign and an eye. Like the one that
Zamari has on her hand, like the one that's on
his necklace, appears on his forehead and it
glows. And he says, mind crush. Oh my God, he's
a sparky sparky boom man. So you now must make
a wisdom savings throw. It's my sacrifice. I
believe in you, Dice. I do so much. You can do
this. 2020. Two. Okay, nice. Told you I believed
in you, dice. Back in the boobies. A tit, your
dice, everyone. So you feel like an oppressive
force, like press on your skull, almost, and
it kind of feels like your brain's being squeezed,
but you kind of like, you steal yourself against
it. It deals half damage to you. Which is 8.
Psychic damage. And you are not dazed. Good.
I'm rain, not dazed. That was pretty good, I'm
not gonna lie. My counter goes down to 172. But
yes, he's like, he goes, mind crush! and you
know does that and then he is going to um with
that same hand he just sort of like moves it
and positions it towards Zaris. Ogre blast and
he hits Zaris with his umber blast and it's like
this dark energy that just shoots from his hand.
Wait, can I activate an incantation at any time?
So you can activate an incantation during your
turn. Never mind. Sorry. Trap cards are the ones
that you can activate during other people's turns.
Okay. Sorry. Sorry, I was going to try and help
Zara's there, but I couldn't. Thanks for trying.
So I have to roll. What is Zara's? 1200. I got
11. So, Zars is like, ugh, but it doesn't, and
he kind of recoils, and it looks like he's in
pain, you don't hear anything, it doesn't make
any vocalizations, but he does appear as if he
got slammed. It looks sort of similar to when
people get hit by a lurch blast, it's like a
force. To Rain, it looks similar to Leslie slicing
him. Oh my god. Good god. This is awful. I love
it. And I end my turn. Lady Zavari, it is your
turn. Um, how far is the Pharaoh from me? It's
gonna be, it's like roughly 90, but I can...
Perfect. I'm going to place Hex on him with my
bonus action. The range is 90 feet. Oh, I should
have... Technically 100 feet away. Okay, I'll
move up a little. I cast Hex on him. And then
I'm going to do what I do best and that's Eldritch
Blast. 16 on the first hit. 15 on the second
hit. Neither of them hit. Okay. Well then I will...
The Pharaoh's armor class is 18. And I will draw
my card and place Faithful Paladin. So you summon
Leslie, essentially. Just right next to you?
Yeah. Is it Leslie? Or is it Siobhan? Technically,
it's Siobhan. That's the R, but yeah. I just
was like, might as well use it. Yeah, that's
like, Zavari doesn't know Siobhan. They wouldn't
get along at all. It's a number more paladin.
Yeah. And they look proud and strong. How far
away can you go from me again? So they can move
15 feet and then they have an attack range. Okay,
so yeah. I can't really tell from my angle. Yeah,
that's... Yeah, 15 feet. And that's all I got.
Okay. Now it is rain's turn so everybody can
drop hard. And I can do my... Okay. Yes, and
you roll your mimic. Oh my god. Okay. Four. Can
I give Zaris one of these though? Right? I give
these out? You don't need to give it to Zaris
because it doesn't hit your creatures. But everyone
else is fair game. So. And you can move like
one token off of that card per turn. So I don't
need not czars, but you don't need to token czars
are anything anyone that's like any card that
you play is safe from your mimic trees. Okay,
then And like dart and Zavari are they need scraps.
Okay, so I would like to give Feel like rain
would Give it to Zavari first, because I can
only do one in each round, right? Yeah. So...
She gets a scrap. The scrap gives you two additional
HP and plus two to your damage rolls. Okay. And
it's for each scrap that you end up having on
you. Man, I wish my current scraps counted. I
know I thought about that was like it'd be too
strong. So I had Mimic trees Yes, so So Jart
gets hit with one. Oh no What am I getting hit
with? A mimic tree. The pharaoh gets hit with
one And then do I roll? The pharaoh gets hit
with another beam And then the last one... Oh
no, I just rolled my damage. The last one is
also the Pharaoh. Okay, so this one will be Dart's
damage. I'm sorry, that might mimic tree hurt
you. 12 damage. You get rocked with a mimic tree.
These will be for the Pharaoh. Two damage. Three
damage. Two damage. That sucks. Seven. I wish
I could have gone to him. You could use your
inspiration to reroll the damage roll on Dart
if you would. Yes, please. We do start a recession
with inspiration. It's six instead of 12. It's
half the damage. Sorry that my tree hit you so
hard. I'll get you a scrap next time, bro. I
mean, I had a fair amount of hit points. i know
but it's still um what are your hit points at
now dar? uh 164 minus six so 158 okay so that
was not any of my stuff that was just my trees
yeah Yeah, there's going to be a lot going on.
Okay, so then I would like to summon Unkindness.
It's a bunch of ravens. It's the name for a flock
of ravens. And Unkindness. The creature may attack
anything for an attack as long as the controller
can see the target. If this creature attacks
an opponent, it must succeed a wisdom saving
grow or be dazed until the end of its next turn.
So whenever anything does like us and has like
a save, it's against your like your spell save
DC or your like monk save DC, whichever one you
want to use. So. If that makes sense. Yes. So
what's the save? And who are you attacking? 17
is the save. And I would like to attack the...
Wait, how much was that card? How much is the...?
It has 400 defense. Unkindness would like to
attack that. Faithful sorceress? Yes, because
I have 600 attack. So in which case, there's
no save. If she hadn't been destroyed, she would
just be dazed because that's how the creatures
work. Yeah. But you did enough damage to destroy
her. Okay. So she just like shatters and like
kind of fades away. And he's like, my sorceress.
And then Zaris. the noble air. Once per turn,
you can increase attack of one ally or allied
creature. So I'd like to increase the attack
of dart by 1d4 until the end of their next turn.
In addition, affected creatures now have the
attack range of 20 unless if they're higher.
So you'd add 1d4 to your damage rolls until the
end of your next turn. And then he attacks the
Pharaoh. Zaris points his gun at the Pharaoh
and shoots. Bow! Roll damage. 1d4 is the damage,
right? Yeah. That is a 4. Attack is 1200 but
it it says attack 1d4 range 30. Oh, I must have
accidentally that must be a It should be 1d12
because the attack is 12. I apologize it was
I'm understanding now. Okay, so roll a d12. Yeah,
sorry What is that? What is that contraption?
You won't be finding that in the stores. It's
our millennium item. Oh. Wink. Is she doing anything
else, Reign? Yes, because Reign hasn't done her
stuff. So she's going to go up and just... Bam,
bam, bam, bam, bam. Actually, what she's going
to do is she's going to go up into his face,
switch into colossal stance, use her bonus action
to switch into colossal stance, which will make
her hit harder, even though she already has an
additional proficiency to her bonus. So she's
going to be hit real hard plus her diamond studded
knuckles. So she's going to be hitting freaking
hard if I can do it. So no fury of blows, but
she does have two attacks. 17, which is not attack
rolls, right? So not like... So attack rolls
would be the roll that you roll to see if you
hit. Okay. So damage rolls would be like how
much damage? Then 21. Okay. For the first one.
So you go to punch the Pharaoh and you're like
right on, like you're going to get him right
in the face. And he will use his reaction to
use light sword shield. which is Swords of Revealing
Light, and he is shielded with these daggers
made of light, and his armor class goes up by
five until the end of his next turn. Is that
a spell? It's the shield spell, yeah. So then
his... It's a loner spell. It automatically works
because it's a level two spell, or a level one
spell. Damn, how depressing. He goes and then
they just shatter and he's like what oh Yeah,
and in your favor it works automatic you work
automatically Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Sorry. I Yeah, the shield spell
is such a low level that you don't have to roll
this you succeed. Okay You just automatically
strong enough and so like he throws up his like
light swords and then like my right right before
like rain connects you just reach up in you with
my hand and I palm and it gloves with his own
shit own shit and it shatters his light his light
swords and he's like what how can that be and
then immediate contact So with my plus 2, plus
4, so it'll be 1d6 plus 6. So 10 damage. And
then I have another one. He's like, oh, I'm not
usually in Bailey. Oh, my nose. Dirty 20. But
that's not high enough, right? Because no, because
it, it crashed. Yeah. Counterspell you can't
you can't use another reaction until next round.
Yeah, and then you got my ass big brain Six plus
six or twelve damage They're both of them should
be more because of colossal stance so I Add four
to each one. So twelve and would be 16 and then
the 10 would be 14 yeah i got it okay i've got
a little box here and i will i've just rained
damage the one now yeah um took 34 damage in
two hits um good use of counterspell oh great
use of counterspell he like spits he spits and
like it's just like dust So the hand prompt is,
how does your character celebrate New Year's?
And if they had a New Year's resolution for this
upcoming New Year, which will be in like six
and a half months or something like that, what
would that resolution be? Morag had a New Year's
resolution, it would be, steal more tea, of course!
And stop going on adventures with you! You know
what, that's... The second one is fine, but...
I damn near died last time. Yeah. Can't get rid
of me that easy! You gotta get better locks in
the castle. I feel like I've sort of touched
on this a little bit when we talked about what
our favorite, like, our character's favorite
seasons were. obviously being amphibious as I
am not a big fan of winter so there's no New
Year's celebration for frog folk because we go
through what is called brumation or a brumate
stage Broomating is kind of like hibernating,
but we don't sleep so much as we just have like
a long period of like extreme low activity. Like
we move as little as possible. Maybe we'll stir
a little bit on sunny days and like drink some
water. But other than that, we just kind of like
do nothing. Chill. That is how the frog folk
Endure their winters They just like close the
door and they're like nobody move and tell stuff
is green again Otherwise you'll freeze. Yeah
and starve legit and does dark do New Year's
resolutions No It's not a frog folk thing Rain
kind of has two answers In Kolenvrig, she celebrated
more New Year's. Where basically, it's the traditional
end of year last month, where the last week essentially,
the whole town feasts, right? It's, to dare is
what they call it. It's preparing for the winter
months. It's just feasting, being married together.
Um, but for the conservatory, the last few years,
her new years is really the end of the second
month. It is the festival of the waking dream
is the end. It's the last week of the, their
calendar cycle year, their school year. Um, and
it ends with them opening up. the dormant volcano
where all the crystal reishi is grown. And they
go and have a training session inside the cavern.
It's called the Locus. Sweet. So that is how
she celebrates the new year at the end is that
it's again, it's another like preparation for
the next year. Oh, I forgot something. Um, one
of the things that happens during brumation is
that frog folk experience a large hormonal buildup
in anticipation of the spring spawning season.
Okay. For Zavari, she, um, and Umbermore. The
time around the holidays here. It's kind of a
more somber event There I guess you could say
Christmas equivalent It's more so about like,
you know honoring the dead than it is about like,
you know gift -giving like, you know There are
gifts but like more so instead of people that
aren't here anymore But then there's how prayer
celebrates. Oh Praeus. Now you see, Praeus is
not from Basloria. She is from Haggara, and they
do things very differently. Haggara does their
New Year's in the spring with the turning of
the new season when the world comes alive again.
They know what's going on up there. And the world
is coming alive. You would think they would kind
of hunt or anything like that, but these are
rich people They don't do that. What they do
is they do believe in bringing in good luck for
Higara the nation and Kind of like, you know
renewing themselves to their leader and Whoever
is leading the family as well. So it can be a
very like I don't know what you would say um
not matriarchal they the women are the powerhouse
here they believe in honoring the women and um
her new year's resolution um to see the next
year that that's all she's got she's like I don't
really I don't got anything else man oh yes I
just don't know. She's like, I don't know. I
just need to see the end of the year. I need
to see next year. Rain's new year resolution?
Go to therapy. Nice. Nice. Rain's got some things
to consider. Maybe a little bit. Rain's got some
things to talk through. She's figuring out she's
not as tough as she thinks she is. Okay. Now
that I think about it, every frog folk has the
same New Year's resolution every single year.
It's make babies. Propagate the last step of
the Leap Syndicate. We're gonna fuck. Propagate.
He's like really hot also, by the way. Oh my
god. No, he's really hot. Totally fighting Mumra.
Uh -huh. I end my turn because that's all those
thingies. Wait, no, no. Okay, that ends my turn.
It is Dart's turn. Okie dokie. Yeah, I guess
since they're not in the room, I will just fire
my arrows first. Okay. Go ahead. Same deal. Shooting
the the pharaoh. I will try to use sharpshooter.
Budge tickles 16. We do have inspiration. I'm
saving it. So you crit the Pharaoh. Okay. So
that's... I definitely forgot to use Dreadful
Strikes last time, but I'm not worried about
it. Where is my 1 -4? We're missing it? Shit,
maybe 500 life points wasn't enough. But then
we had another zero. It was. Okay. I thought
about doing 2 ,000. Oh my god. But I was like,
I don't know how much damage you guys will be
doing. 16, plus 1 is 17, plus 10 is 27. Jeez.
word what is this arrow made out of and that
was using the 1d4 that she gave me the 1d4 from
dreadful strikes and then the plus 10 from the
sharpshooter and then obviously 2d8 instead of
1d8 for the crit I think that's, I think that's
all correct. Yeah, you double all your dice,
yeah. So... Cool. Ouch. Yeah, I calculated it.
If he has 500 hit points, it would take 25 instances
of doing 20 damage to bring this guy down. That's
a lot. That's a lot of times. Yeah, but everybody's
gonna be doing damage to him, so I think it should
be... Shouldn't be too many rounds, I'm hoping.
We shall see. You've already done a big chunk
of damage to him. And then I want to activate
one of my incantations. Which is the Shield of
the Forgotten King. Which I will... activate
on on rain okay so when rain or when Rachel gets
back you probably give it to her but yeah yeah
and then I will put down that's different face
down card so dart plays the shield of a forgotten
king and a shield that looks almost identical
to the shield of Androm with like a slight color
change appears in front of Reign, and it hovers
ready to defend. And there was like a shine.
Anything else start? I guess... I'm gonna keep
Charlie big bottom where he is. He's got a purpose.
That's the soak up problems. No, that'll be it
for me. I think. Wait, can I use my bonus action
to cast Hunter's Mark on the pharaoh because
I keep forgetting to? Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention,
I don't know why I forgot to mention this, the
pharaoh's monsters can attack twice. Oh, okay.
Because he needs something to help, you know?
To help even the playing field a little. He can't
summon more monsters than usual. He just can
attack, his monsters can attack twice. Dark,
casted, uh... his shield of the Forgotten King
and equipped it to you, Reign. Essentially what
it does is the first attack against you that
hits, you can just negate. It just blocked. Per
round. I figured since you're right up in his
face, that might be wise. I appreciate, I appreciate.
He's trying to beat him down. And now, it's my
move. Mm -hmm. I will begin my turn by casting
the incantation Greedy Pottery. This card allows
me to draw two cards from my deck and add it
to my hand. We gotta take care of this fucking
card. Greedy bastard. That's the wretch for ya.
Now I will summon my sinister sorceress. And
you see a very girly pop sorcerer be summoned.
In attack mode. Girly pop. And now that I have
my sinister sorceress on the field, I will activate
my incantation, Codgering Crystal. If you control
one sinister sorceress, you may special summon
one sinister sorcerer from your hand or deck.
I do not have a sinister sorcerer in my hand,
but here he is. My ace monster sinister sorcerer
and a angry looking sorcerer in purple armor
with a staff appears in attack position. Where
does he appear? Um, I'll put it down one second.
He really wants to put it where Rain is. Jerk.
Suck, suck, suck. You've activated my trap card.
What? Intensify gravity. Oh no. So increase the
gravity in a 15 foot radius and 40 feet high
cylinder within range. All creatures... cards
within the circle are switched to defense mode.
Their speed is halved and they cannot change
their battle positions. Any flying creatures
are grounded. Opponents in the circle fall prone
and their speed is halved. Opponents must make
a strength saving throw in order to stand up.
This card remains on the field until it is negated
or otherwise destroyed. She looks straight in
the Pharaoh's eyes and Like Shows him the card
and then throws it to the ground and when she
throws the card to the ground The just like the
gravity just like crushes everyone around her
Yeah, okay, so this is every preacher Me as well.
Yes. Mm -hmm Okay, although you do you know you
probably I you know you've There's a save. It's
against your own safety, which is kind of weird.
But yeah, it's everyone in the circle. So if
you want to try to reposition the circle, you
can. I just wanted to let you know that it's
everyone. Okay. I would like it to center on
the two creatures and I will like... I mean,
if we can make it so rain is on the edge, and
I wish I could, like, move it to see if all three
of them can get in without rain in. Like, if
I have to focus on the creatures, I would focus
on them, and then... It's, like, just a point,
so you don't have to choose, like, a specific
target. It's just a point. Right, but just to,
like, who I'm trying to focus the circle on,
um... I can... I'll still be in the Pharaoh's
face, but if I can slow down the creatures...
I would say you would probably technically out
of it if it's right here. Okay, that sounds like
a plan. Just barely. Yeah. You're right on the
edge of it. So I just throw it down in between
them, basically. I throw the card down in between
them. This is Reign's gambit moment. Oh my god.
And so his sorcerers go into defense mode and
he is not happy. And he also falls prone. He
has to make a strength save. Yes. This is my,
what did you say? My monk? Yeah. 17. Fails. So
he can't get up in his speed of zero, but he
can still attack from here. Um, it's just...
My back! Oh! Kay, old man. I'm over a thousand
years old. This isn't fair. Sorry you haven't
evolved yet to use a wheelchair, but you know,
some of us are over here being superior beings.
Well, I was going to save this. But, for your
smack talk, I will activate sinister sorcery,
my incantation! I can only activate this card
if I control a Sinister Sorcerer or Sinister
Sorceress. I destroy all incantations and trap
cards my opponents control. Shit. This fucking
ass. That's everything. All the incantations
and trap cards on the field. Including the mimicry?
Mm -hmm. Shit. And, uh, your shield. Oh, my shield.
Shit. And the Pharaoh is able to stand up the
gravity is gone Should be good man was like I
gotta get rid of this shit I wasn't going to
do it, but I wasn't going to do it, but you talked
so much shit Those stuff that was active right
not the stuff that's flipped over it is it is
stuff that is like active okay yeah i was gonna
say that completely wipes me out and i have like
one card for the rest of them we go back to the
that was the pharaoh so it should be davaris
yeah you're not skipping back to the normal arena
oh oh the pharaoh is not done with his turn oh
sorry everybody the trees recede um scrap tokens
are still useful and everything So, the ones
that I've given out? The ones that are given
are still out. Okay, so Zavari, you still have
a scrap token. Okay. Cool. I wanted to give one
to Dart. Next time, Dart. And then this goes
to discard? Uh, yes. Graveyard! Which what is
should we say? I say I put cemetery cemetery
But because the battle positions of his creatures
were changed this turn he cannot change them
to attack position this turn So you still like
stopped him from attacking this turn if that
makes sense So it's not like it wasn't for loss
It wasn't yeah, this whole game is about like
destroying cards and negating them and you know
attacking monsters So like it yeah, it's just
it will happen and then this goes to my cemetery,
too Er, do you keep it? Yes, it goes to your
cemetery because it was destroyed. Okay. It was
good while it lasted. And then, so he kind of
like, he stands up, he can't move. Or I guess
he failed, so I guess he probably can't stand
up this turn still. I feel, that makes sense.
I brought him to his knees. Per. I brought him
to eye level of rain. Perm. From the ground,
the Pharaoh is going to attempt to use his umbral
slam on rain. So his fist empowers with a dark
energy and he tries to punch you. But something
tells me an 11 doesn't hit you nah, so she just
like I feel like she just like Like smacks his
oh, it's okay. It's one of my favorite moves
that a does an avatar is whenever it's the siege
on the Bossing says like the the temple or whatever
about the temple the Whatever the Queen's Whatever,
whatever it is. But he does this thing on Appa,
the earthbenders, where the rock is coming to
him, and he just hits it with the outside of
his, like, wrist, and that's what she does with
his, like, hand. It's just, like, boom, like,
out of the way. Or just, like, what he does to
the Fire Lord, you know? Just block. Yeah. And
then so he is going to attempt to do it again,
bringing up his umbral slam. And he getting a
19 to hit? I'm not in Colossal Stance, so yes,
19 hits. I mean, I'm in Colossal Stance. I'm
not in Moon Glide. 18 Umbral Damage. Umbral Damage?
Plus 10 Necrotic Damage. God damn. And your speed
is halved into the end of your next turn. I'm
halved, halved. Being in... Okay. What was the
damage again? 18 umbral 10. 28 total yeah. The
umbral damage makes your soul hurt. There's a
lot of soul stuff going on. That blue light flickers.
I have 144. And he is going to use his bonus
action to um he kind of like looks over, he looks
kind of just he looks past like in between everyone's
legs and he looks at Zavari and he points his
finger. Shatter memory. Oh, fucking great. Make
a wisdom save. Ah, I'm fucked. 16? You saved.
That's the first time she's ever made a wisdom
save. 16 is the same. Well, besides, you know,
that one time when you ran away from everyone.
Your memory is not shattered. You are worthy
opponents. And he ends his turn. It is Zavari's
turn. Let's go, girl. And then for reference.
Sinister Sorceress has 1 ,700 defense and Sinister
Sorcerer has 2 ,100 defense. You said for the
minions that we're using, I mean we're using
minion rules for the companions or whatever they're
called. The creatures, yeah. Okay. You have to
do their defense or health and damage in one
attack. What's the defense of those cards again?
So, 17 and 21. I am going to hit the one that
is behind Rain. I can't really tell which card.
That is Sinister Sorcerer. Yes, I'm gonna...
He has a 21. Okay. I'm gonna blast him away.
That's a 30. Goddamn. Like 30 for a hit? Yeah.
I guess that hits. And then the second one is
a 22. He's gonna use his light sword shield.
I got a 14 plus nine. Right. Yeah, one of them
hits, one of them doesn't. Because it'll make
his armor class just enough. Plus five, so it'd
be 23, yeah. Just enough for that second one,
that did it. Damn. Oh no, you're not attacking
the sorcerer, or you're not attacking, sorry,
the pharaoh, are you? No, I'm not. I'm sorry,
I apologize. Okay, 14 plus nine. Yeah, yeah.
I mean, you're trying to hit 12. Oh, so. And
then how much damage? Damage all together is
23. Damage. That's us. Very well. That will not
be the last you'll see of my sinister sorcerer.
And then? And then? I would like to use a bonus
action to use sorcery points to then hit the
pharaoh. Eldritch Blast once more. No, that one
doesn't hit. 16 plus 11, that one hits. And then
I have a bunch of bonuses. Man, stop being in
for my tagging, that's... I was getting ready
to go ham. I know. A 20 damage because he's also
hexed right now. Oh yeah, he'd be hexed. So what
does that mean? It says like they get disadvantage
on an ability check. Okay. But it never really
comes up. Because it's an ability check and not
a save. Yeah. So it's like they would have to
like do something. Um, I still want to push him.
And he just like rolls. It's fine, you're fine.
Your movement is halved right now. Yeah, but
I had to touch Kate so I could make it to him.
Okay. Um, yeah, and he just like rolls. Then
I'm gonna do my card. That's not my spell, that's
his. Um, I'm gonna put a card face down. Okay.
And then I end my turn. Interesting. Uh, it is
rain's turn so everybody can draw a card. I got
exactly what I need. Oh, I forgot to mention,
now that there is a Sinister Sorcerer in my graveyard,
Sinister Sorceress gains 300 attack and defense.
Oh, also remember that you have a scrap, so you
add 1d4 to your hits. Yeah, I added, with that
in my hex, it's like a plus eight to my hit.
Okay. How much does that Sorcerer risk? Her defense
is now 2000, so it's 20 hit points. Leave my
sorceress alone, you vixen. Did you kill my unkindness?
No, I don't think you ever put it down actually.
But it can attack anywhere, so it's not that
big of a deal that you didn't put it down yet.
We need something that additionally helps us
take... Like damage for them. So I'm going to
my Arm starts to start feeling a little warm
and I do a wall of fire Along the sorceress and
the Pharaoh Like I want it to hit the Pharaoh
and the sorceress So more like... 60 feet long,
20 feet high. One foot thick. Okay. I remembered
the one foot. For once. Flames. Should I roll
my damage? Roll damage. And I'll roll to save.
5d8. And what can I save as a death save? Yes.
My brain's like, yes, wait, no. Yes, deck save.
It's only 16 damage, guys. Got a 9 for the deck
save. So 16 is what I rolled. For 5d8, I got
16. So it's not enough to destroy Sinister Sorceress.
And then... so that was my action my bonus action
i would like to bardo dart how do you inspire
dart she just yells out die i believe in you
follow the flame uh just like you guys said earlier
yeah yeah and so you get bardo And there's just
this fire. Thanks for the suggestion. Something
like it hot. So that's the fire. Playing with
fire. And then I want Zara to bang bang the pharaoh.
How dare you shoot me again! And so do I... So
you just roll damage. That was like 1d12, right?
Mm -hmm. Fucking 1. Damn. I believe in you dice.
Um... Zaurus was too busy posing. He is. Are
they are for sure? And then my kind... You gave
up your lust. You're still... There's a lot of
lust. You only gave up some, huh? I still have
a plus four to my wisdom saves. um and then I
would like to use my unkindness to uh if I don't
want they would get hurt by the fire right uh
which side is damaging let's do the other side
is damaging because they're still in the fire
if you is this side if this side is the damaging
side like If the outside is the damaging side,
then I would say that your block of ravens could
attack. But if it's on the side that's facing
you, I would say that they would get hit. But
if they can attack anywhere, they can come from
the other side, right? Like they could fly and
attack from the other side. Um, so I'm going
to do that because I feel like they're likely
to run towards us and not away from us like on
the other side of the fire. So this side is the
pain side, but they like banana cut around to
attack from non -fire side. Um, and it's 600.
So it's a 1d6. Yeah. And who are you, who are
you attacking? The Pharaoh. Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait. No, I want to attack
the other one because even though it's only 600.
So, you wouldn't destroy Sinister Sorceress.
But it could be dazed, right? But it would be
dazed. That's what I would like to do. So, if
you are dazed, you can either attack or move.
You can't do both. essentially so it's like it
brings you down to one action and so in this
case the pharaoh's monsters can normally attack
twice but because she's dazed she'll only be
able to attack once on his turn so then I and
she can't move you have to either move or attack
once I'm gonna do the unkindness hit the sorceress
okay so you don't roll for you can't really damage
it yeah but you do but the the Ravens like flock
around her and like confound her and daze her
she's like swinging her staff around at the ravens
okay and that ends my turn okay dart i'm gonna
fire both of my arrows at the pharaoh But I'm
gonna use my splitter Okay, to try and hit the
sinister sorceress. Okay, you'd have to do 20
damage to her for it to like kill her Destroy
her it's gonna be tough. I have the like max
damage it and yeah, yeah I'm using the splitter
Do you use your sharp arrows? Oh your plus three
arrows damn? And you have Bardo? I'm going to
use Sharpshooter and I have dreadful strikes
and the Hunter's Mark doesn't apply to the Sorceress
but I can still fairly well damage the Pharaoh
even if I don't knock the Sorceress out. So I
feel like it's worth a shot. What's Bardo give
me again? 1d4 or 1d6? 1d6. Thanks. What a riveting
game. Oh, that does not even come close. Yeah,
it's a 16. 16. Doesn't hit. Even worse. Yeah.
Nope, I missed him completely. The flames are
making aiming him kind of hard, aiming at him
kind of hard. Actually, because he's prone, I
think it's like you would have disadvantage.
But I mean, you already missed, so. Okay. Does
Charlie Bigbottom have any effects or anything?
Charlie Bigbottom's basic deal is that if someone
attacks and attempts to destroy him, I can pull
him back to my hand instead, or I can let him
be destroyed and pull a creature out of my graveyard.
But since I haven't pulled a single creature.
Yeah, it's just like really rough, but I think
I do have something for this. And then both of
those I want to keep on standby. Both of those
I want to keep on standby because they're all
useful with frogs on the board. Okay. So... You
have like the most creatures too. Like a ratio
in your deck. I can't do anything. So inevitably
you're gonna end up drawing like creatures. There's
a couple of cards that everybody has that like
allow allies to draw cards. So there's that.
That's the end of my turn. So... It is now my
turn. And I will start by getting up in the flames.
Did you do your War Priest ability? Doing an
ouchie. Oh. I guess I can take a third weapon
attack as a bonus option. I can do that four
times. So I can try one more time. That is...
That is a 17. It's just one of those turns. It's
my move. I will start by summoning Sinister Sorcerer
of Chaos. An attack move. And a spell seal opens
up out of a card on the ground and a... a sorcerer
emerges in tight leather armor and it's very
edgy and everything, you know, all in black.
Slaying. Just absolutely eating it up. Oh, wow.
Yeah. Yeah, damn. Amazing. and the Sinister Sorcerer
of Chaos allows me to get one incantation from
my deck and add it to my hand. And I am choosing
the Battlefield Incantation Umbra Realm. And
he also has to take damage from the Wall of Fire.
So let's save. 18. That saves. Oh damn. 30 damage.
Is that also for the Sinister Sorceress? He saved,
so it's half damage. Okay. Damn. Damn. It was
almost enough. So they have to move to this side.
Yeah. How far is the damage away? Is it just
500? Ten feet. Ten feet! Oh god. And they can't
move further than that because then they'll provoke
an attack of opportunity for rain. So they have
to like, they have to kind of walk out of the
fire and they're forced to go into the fray closer
to rain. I make them come to me from the flames
that are behind them. And they're still like
sort of in the like middle of the arena or the
kind of like you come this way you can push them
back with your shot back into the fire. Crowd
control and now I will activate my incantation
my battlefield incantation umber realm This increases
the attack and defense of all spell caster and
infernal creature cards on the field by 200 Additionally
reduce the attack and defense of all other creature
type cards by 200 So our stuff is reduced by
200 yeah or two negative minus two, okay Let
me throw down the number realm So the Entire
battlefield Gets cold and there's like a dark
pulsing Void that opens up kind of in the middle
of the field. It does not have any like effect.
It's just scary looking and Everything becomes
like misty and there's like a blue kind of like
bluish purple like ectoplasm in the air You feel
this like weird sort of pressure reverberating
in your soul Welcome to the umbral realm Switching
my sinister sorceress into attack mode. She is
unfortunately dazed so she can only attack once
but I'm going to attack Reign with my sinister
sorceress Dealing 12 damage see she points her
staff at you and like a a pink heart like is
launched out of like the end of her staff and
like spins and smacks you I have a question Is
this only for if a creature card gets attacked
like I can't use it to protect Reign, can I?
Um, yeah, you can. I think it was supposed to
just say creature, my bad. Some of the wording
is like, if it seems like it should apply to
an ally, it does. I just like, I revised them
a few times and it was like, it was a lot. Um,
okay, so Reign. I negate that attack and destroy
the attacking creature. Don't I have something
too that I can negate? You had the shield. Oh
yeah. Can you please say that again? I'm sorry.
I negated the attack on you so you don't take
any damage and the creature that attacked is
destroyed. So say the name of the... I activated
my security viper. Oh snap. You activated a trap
card? I did. So from the like... from like the
banister you just see like all of a sudden uncloked
is Shadow Viper and he's got like a he's got
his uh his trusty crossbow well i don't know
why that was so hard he's got his trusty crossbow
at the ready and he just like pops out and right
before sinister sorceress his heart like like
hits you he just shoots her and she's destroyed
and the heart like wanes and just kind of Kisses
you a little. Oh, that was sweet Like look parents
are like what you know what you always have my
back dart. That's a scrap later and then Shadow
Viper like winks I need Shadow Viper and Zaris
to meet God You owe me extra for that boss, but
it's just a joke because he's not here and It
was just an illusion of him. But yeah, the pharaoh
is pissed. What? Who let that guy in here? Who
designed your deck? This is absurd. Your souls
must be very powerful. I forgot that she did
two extra damage because of the umbra realm.
But she didn't end up doing damage. She would
have. curses uh fine my sinister sorcerer of
chaos will attack rain wait who was destroyed
uh the the sorcerers who attacked you here okay
oh yeah the sexy dude yeah i forgot about him
can't never forget about a sexy deal 20 damage
oh That was for forgetting about him. It's okay.
Should've negated that second one. And now his
second attack. Shit. Attack unkindness. So unkindness
is destroyed. What is unkindness's attack? Or
600. No, it's 400 now because of being in the
- So you take 2600 damage because Sinister Sorcerer
of Chaos has 3000 attack points. Oh shit. So
that's 26 damage? Yeah. Okay, I am down to 98.
I am half damage. Goes to my cemetery. Okay.
Okay. And now as I end my turn, I will use my
legendary action, Umbra Renewal! So everybody
combines their hands and cemeteries with their
decks, shuffles, and draws three cards. So we
put our cards back reshuffle with all of them?
Anything that's in your cemetery or in your hand.
I didn't have a hand so yay! I finally get some
cards. But you basically shuffle, draw three
cards, he draws four. There's no cutting decks?
No, not this time. So it sucks if you have more
than three cards in your hand, but you at least
get your like... Oh my god, I have better cards!
He can only do that once per game. So he cannot
he could not do another umber renewal It takes
a great deal of energy if you could believe it
I was really hoping that'd be good for me, but
it was actually really bad So and I forgot he
needs to make his attacks. It was bad. Yeah Dang
that sucks He is going to He's going to mind
crush Zavari So, make a wisdom save. I'm going
to voice steal her. Mindcrawl? Okay, go ahead
and roll. It's not, uh, no, for a voice stealer.
Oh, okay. It's not like, it's not technically
a spell, but at the same time, it's a spell -like
ability, I don't know. Got a 22. Um... Okay,
so your mind does not crush Repaying you take
it so That costs one energy point for me and
I can't do that again today So now you have a
mind to crush in my mouth It takes an action,
but like it's part of multi attack. So it technically
like because he could do it twice or whatever.
So I guess technically you could mine crush and
also punch once it would just count as one of
your two attacks. Just because that's how it
would work for the Pharaoh. And the way it works
is they succeed on a wisdom save and it takes
3d10 plus four psychic damage in their days until
the end of their next turn unless they save and
they take half damage. If they save. Okay. So,
um, and it's, uh, the range is 120 feet. Okay.
This is ridiculous. Uh, mind crush! And he tries
to mind crush you, Reign, uh, with his second
attack. So. Okay. Roll a wisdom save. Seventeen.
Ah! Hurts us! Can't bring a bad bitch down. Right?
You take ten psychic damage. Y 'all... I mean,
it still, you know, still hurts for sure. But
that's all he has. And it is Zavari's turn. okay
um let me get the I want to make sure I have
the rules understood before I do this thing I
can only put down one like creature monster whatever
we're calling it card but then the other cards
I can kind of get yes okay so I Want to play
under his eye So it says add one infernal priestess
or aspect of the infernal king creature to Card
to your hand from your deck or cemetery. So I
want to get that Okay Dang search cards Who put
that in there? It reminds me of when like I used
to Manage the restaurant I would close and then
open and then the next day I'd be like Who closed
last night? Oh, oh yeah, I. It's me. Guys, this
is... We're not even halfway through, like, the
hit points. It's like, I hope you're having fun.
I know it's like, a lot. I'm having fun. Beating
me up. I love to duel new opponents. Battle new
opponents. With your battle... Battle battle
creatures i'm going to that was a battle bagel
oh it's bracer there's so many be accessories
i'm gonna put down the infernal priestess oh
um so she gains 200 attack from under umbral
realm exactly um So that's a lot of attack actually.
So she has 2200 attack. Yeah. It is not enough
to destroy sinister sorcery or chaos, but it
is quite powerful. It says when this creature
card is played each ally can recover one incantation
from their cemetery. In addition, if you are
an ally controls at least one other ham crusader
creature card. All allies may discard one card
to destroy one incantation or trap once per turn.
Yeah, so because The air is on the field. He
is a ham crusader. So everyone can discard a
card to destroy a incantation or trap card on
the field So for example like umbra realm if
you wanted to I do. Oh wait, I have So then what
happens you go you decide i mean here's the i
mean you know the thing is is that you know there
may be another i i'm prepared to get rid of the
umbral world yeah i know that i need to get rid
of okay okay and so to start you guys are right
next to each other too i mean if you want to
like discuss like you guys are allies you can
look at each other's cards you can talk about
it i apologize if i didn't if that wasn't yeah
you you get rid of it you can do it So I just
add it to my cemetery. So yeah, you would discard
a card from your hand. Okay. And what card is
it? It is. Oh, wait, I don't think I can get
rid of this one. Can you read it? Oh, is it the
card? Yeah, I don't think I can get rid of it.
So no, because as soon as you play Infernal Priestess,
you have to play this card. Okay. So once per
turn, you must either sacrifice a creature card
you control or pay 1d12 hit points and you're
going to deal damage to all players. And if you
choose to sacrifice Infernal Priestess, you do
a lot of damage and it's only to your opponent.
Okay. So then... So it stays on the field until
it's resolved. So then do I just put it down
and then address it when it comes back around
to me? So it's once per turn, so since you have
to play it now, it's now. Okay. And then also
next turn at the start of your turn. Okay. So
you can decide, sacrifice a creature or sacrifice
some hit points. Sacrifice a creature. I will
get rid of the paladin. Okay, so now roll 1d12.
Ten? So everybody takes ten necrotic damage.
Everyone? Everyone. Everyone. I thought it happened.
I thought it didn't happen if she sacrificed
a creature. No, she either has to sacrifice a
creature or hit points to do the damage. Oh,
well then I want to sacrifice hit points. I thought
it was the other way around. Either way it does
the damage. Oh, either way. Yeah. You don't take
the damage if you sacrifice a creature. That's
kind of the idea. But it's like, what it is is
like, it's like what you were paying does the
damage. So the creature, either the creature
does the damage or like your pain does the damage.
And so when the creature, like when you sacrifice
the creature, she just, and then, and everybody
kind of like hurts from the death of that creature
and takes 10 necrotic damage, including the barrow.
Okay. But, and just, just, you know, to, for
clarity, infernal legacy is, It's an incantation
on the field. So an effect that can destroy it
could destroy it. You know what I mean? So Zavari's
effect could destroy it, just not this far because
you don't have anything to discard. So either
someone else has to destroy it or you have to
destroy it next time. Does that make sense? Yeah,
that makes sense. Thank you. Yeah, but anyone
can destroy it. Even if it's your card, even
if it's an ally's card, if the effect says destroy
a card on the field, it doesn't matter who owns
that card. It's just any card or any incantation
or whatever. So, anyway, anything else? Can my
monster move away from me? Or is it just five
feet that has to stay? Yeah, she can move 15
feet. So you can play her up to 15 feet away
from you, and then she can move 15 feet. Okay.
Well then, I can't really see how far. I want
to be like 15 feet away. Like closer to the action?
Yeah, I'm trying to make my way down there. So
that's basically, wait, let me see. Yeah, 30.
Okay. And Sar is over there. Yeah. And then here's
the Sinister Sorcerer of Chaos. And he has...
The kindness can come here. Oh, that's the kindness
over there. Right, the kindness. Unkindness,
that's because it is dead. Oh, did I get destroyed?
Yeah. Oh yeah, dead. So I took a bunch of damage.
That's right. That's right. Yeah, that's the
danger of leaving it in attack mode. You know,
you have to attack with it, so it's like... I
thought about changing it to defense mode. I'm
gonna hit the source of the sexy sorcerer, I
suppose. Um, with what? Um, Eldritch Blast, because
my character can't reach them. Yeah, at least.
It's hit points are 26. So you have to do, yeah,
26 hit points. Oh, sorry, 28 because of Umbral.
And you have the plus four, or plus... D4 for
the scrap. The scrap is plus two. I rolled a
nat 20. On my first beam. And what if I told
you I rolled another nat 20? Not my sinister
splitter of chaos. Take that. How could you?
Let's fucking go. Damn. Torfi, go lay down. Go.
The dogs are all riled up. So now we don't roll
26 damage with two crits. Okay, it's super dead,
but I still haven't rolled all my damage. I rolled
38 damage. And that's without the bonuses from
you. Without my D4. Let's see how much I win.
Yeah, let's do it because then he takes damage.
No, only for attacks. Yeah, only for attacks.
Like creature attacks? Yeah. I would've... I
got 40 damage altogether. Damn. Damn. Damn. Shit.
You are just pissed. Because Zomari just summoned
herself, so yeah. She's freaking out. Yeah, she's
not feeling great. Impossible. How could that
be? I feel the same way. I feel the same way.
Anything else? Maybe. Let me look here. That
wouldn't really do anything. No? Okay. I'm good.
We draw! Thank you for listening to Roll Forth.
