and hello welcome back i am larry i am the dm
this is beginner's luck and you've come to us
to our second episode uh i am again the dm and
these are my lovely players so a first hi i'm
bella i play annie who is an artificer uh goliath
standing at seven two And she likes organized
chaos. Hello, my name is Rob. I play the human,
quote -unquote, draconic sorcerer by the name
of Gordas Sevrok. Hi, I'm Avia. I play an elven
bard named Raynor. Raynor's inspired by Danny
DeVito's character, Harry Wormwood, from Matilda.
He looks like he would probably fall over if
there was a large gust of wind. Okay. And a quick
question to the three of you in terms of your
character. Annie, Godard, and Raynor. Raynor,
sorry. The question I posed for the three of
you this week would be, what was it like growing
up? I think for Annie, it was kind of lonely.
Her parents would be working a lot. They wouldn't
really be home. But they did try to feed into
her interests a lot so that she wouldn't be bored.
I think that's how she became such an icon at
such a young age. What was that? That was...
nothing. Just hearing it. For Gordar, Gordar
had a luxurious but lonely early childhood. Probably
really became an enjoyable one once his little
sister Sarah was born. Aww, that's cute. Raynor
would probably be... busy scamming people or
learning a trade so he would have probably been
surrounded by a gang of ruffians pulling the
next small scale scam all right interesting interesting
point so would you annie would with which borrow
do you think that annie grew up in I feel like
she would have grown up in the Diamond District.
Oh, okay. Yeah, because, like, lavish enough,
you know, her parents were pretty successful.
But yeah, it's a pretty big city, so I feel like
it would have been too big for her to comprehend
at such a young age. Okay. So she probably would
have just, like, stayed in their home, in her
room, even. Interesting. And Godard, what was
it like? Did you have a close relationship with
your sister Sarah, was it? Yes. What was your
relationship like with your sister Sarah? Oh,
it was wonderful. We played together and spent
a lot of time together. The other siblings didn't
give us much notice. It was an enjoyable experience.
How many was there of you in terms of number
of siblings? Ah, there were a fair few of us.
Let's see. Are you two close of age? We are the
closest. We are the latter of them. All our other
siblings are much older. Let's see. And... Raynor.
So I imagine a lot of it... doing small time
scams and such you would have been rather than
being part of one of the larger crime families
you would have been part of some of the smaller
gangs instead probably yeah so when i was there
i really i was filled with ambition but unfortunately
ambition is not very big in those places especially
if you're um starting off small so what was his
ambition oh i wanted to make it big i wanted
a big house with a bunch of platinum uh surrounded
by enormous amounts of wealth and the kind of
respect that people would wouldn't look down
on yeah so joining one of the bigger crime families
yeah i i tried a few times right i tried looking
at if they had any heart people that I could
marry into, but that didn't really work. Interesting.
Okay. We got things to talk about, all three
of you. And from there, let us pick it up with
the recap. On the last episode of Beginner's
Luck, we find ourselves within the home of the
most notorious criminals. Skilled in sleight
of hand, coups of persuasive phrases, and hands
that hold the weapons of destruction. The Blackhold
Prison. A swarm of prisoners find themselves
liming up for the event of the season, the tournament.
The prison is abuzz with excitement, worry, and
bloodlust, a true gamble for the greedy and brash
who would want nothing more than a swift reward
or a swift end. Or perhaps even a little fun,
there's no discrimination. With a crowd abuzz
with cheers and jeers, suddenly fall silent as
the warden of the prison, DJ Schlipschlorp, begins
to speak, ushering in the start of the tournament.
Calling in the first team of prisoners, they
face off with the griffin, only for them to be
cut down so swiftly with the crowd's disappointment.
With the arena now clear and clean, the warden
once more speaks, and the crowd falls silent.
DJ Slipswrap calls out the next participants.
Annie Flintfingers, a prisoner with such notoriety
that her name used to carry such weight. Godard
Sevrok, an inmate whose beauty is only matched
by his own naivete. Rainer. A coy and tactless
debonair, with his sharp ears rivaled his own
sharp tongue. And the Bloodletter, a serial killer
who bathed in the blood of his victims and ate
what remained. Their first test of the tournament?
A face -off with sentient brooms, suit of armor,
and floating swords and shields. A curious battle
to be sure, but one that all survived, aside
from a few major scratches and wounds for Godar
and the Bloodletter. This group of reprobates
was given a moment of respite and to prepare
for the next trial of the tournament, whatever
it may be. And as you take down the final inanimate
object that you all fought, the crowd swells
and they begin that same rhythmic chant, that
rhythmic stomping. again and again. They're all
cheering and DJ Schlipschlorp up above looking
down on the four of you. Bloodletter also taking
in the joys and jeers from everybody in the crowd
screaming He's still bleeding. His prisoner jumpsuit
now burnt and torn off and the cracking of the
mic once more swells within the arena. Well,
it looks like we have our first team to be able
to make it through the first round. Now, let
them take a little break and perhaps we can see
if they can face their next challenge. And then
the ground begins to shift and shake once more.
The imagery of the set of this old dilapidated
mansion begins to shrink down and fall into the
ground. And once more, you are now standing upon
sand and dirt. The gate behind you begins to
open and that familiar half -giant guard is standing
there awaiting for your return. Oh, um, when
can I get to that meeting? I don't want to fight
anymore. Crowd continues and your voice is drowned
out. And you, but you see, as you're trying to
get the warden's attention, you do see that the,
you notice that the young girl is looking down
directly towards you. Almost in a sense of familiarity.
Oh, hello. Hi. His voice would be completely
drowned out by the crowds. Yes. As the others
are slowly trying to, heading back towards the
gate, you see the blood letter. He's walking
backwards, just still cheering, still bleeding.
And a mass amount of blood is like just dripping
from him, burnt here, slightly on the face. And
he's just going, yeah, yeah. And he backs into
the... He backs into the little waiting room.
As you're trying to get the attention, you see
the guard now walking towards you with his hand
on your shoulder. You are. Who? You need a head
back. Okay, I guess so. As you all find yourself
back into that little waiting room once more,
you can see that the fruits... and drinks have
been replenished uh and the setup is all still
the same you all all four of you walk in and
the guard steps in the last and the gate closes
from the other end of the room where you first
came in the door opens once more and an individual
walks in All robed in white. With. With a. What
do you call it? Hooded. And it has like. Trims.
Along his white robe. Gold. With gold inlays
and filigree. It's not so. It's all. In terms
of his clothing. And clothing. You can see. that
it is very unassuming and the only thing that
stands out is the golden inlays and uh the filigrees
and such jeez that's a nice outfit the three
of you do recognize that this is a priest of
the hand of ilios uh known to be known as healers
of the city and he stands there awaiting the
four of you Please, um, he's just a very, like,
slight, like, graze. Please, um, if you'd be
able to, uh, fix this for me, I can't, um, don't
leave any scarring, please. The, as, as you approach
this, uh, the priest that you immediately, uh,
recognize through his, uh, his clothing, you
now see that it's a, um, a older elven individual.
Very... sort of like wispy beard and he just
places a hand on top of your head to your head
on your forehead and you feel a almost like a
burning sensation and a bright light almost fills
your eyes and you are now fully healed Oh, thank
you. Girls, girls, no, no, no. He's helping.
Please. It's like all the snakes have arced up
from the blinding light. No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no. Please. I need a drink. I'm just
going to instantly stumble away. There's water
at the table. Did you want to go next? He takes
a sniff. Sorry, what was that? Oh, he just points
to Annie. He's like, do you want to go next?
Annie just nods and she takes... what looks like
an apple from the table. Hopefully one that doesn't
have a worm in it this time, and she'll just,
like, take a bite out of it. It's fairly decent.
Yeah, she says. It wasn't as bad as the last
one, but it isn't as fresh as before. You see
the bloodletter approach, and she's like, fix
me up, doc! Yes, fix me! Excuse me. You see the
priest a bit apprehensive before putting his
hand on the blood letter. You were saying, Annie?
Annie wants to interrupt the blood letter because
she was first in line. He just kind of barged
in. It's quite rude of him, to be honest. So
she just goes, excuse me. What do you think you're
doing? You're excused. Majum, he says sarcastically
as he bows. Do you approach the priest? Looking
at your she sighs, come a little lower, please.
And he will slightly, like, bend towards him.
He places his hand upon your forehead. And you
have this burning sensation inside you. Your
eyes almost blinded by this bright light. And
you feel your wounds close up. You feel almost
invigorated. Great. As you are all done, you
see the bloodletter sort of shove you out of
the way. Me first, Malfry. He looks at you, Rainer.
All right, mate. Go for it. Priest does almost
the same thing. Seems to be rather apprehensive
of doing so. And he places, slowly places his
hand upon the blood letter. Not saying a word.
Rainer, you do notice, however, that he is the
priest itself. almost seems to mutter something
to himself but it's not quite clear exactly what
he's saying but as he puts his hands on the blood
letter you see um that the wounds on his arms
begin to close up and the the blood almost seems
to just wash away from him you see the burn marks
on his face almost uh it heals as if it had been
there for years And as the priest pulls out,
pulls away with his hand, you just see the bloodletter
revved up once more. It's like, yes! Listen there,
mate. Just make sure you don't cut yourself again,
yeah? Because this guy is probably not going
to come back. We don't know, right? So, hear
that, priest? Just watch out for this one, yeah?
Takes another slice on his arm. Oh, God. And
then another one. Getting ready. Getting ready.
And you see him. He takes a seat on one of the
chairs by the table. And he places his feet on
the table. And he's just grabbing a handful of
the fruit. And he's just, like, downing it into
his mouth. I imagine that he picked up, like,
a bunch of the grapes. And you see him just eating
at it. And then, like. The juices just drip down
from his face as he's enjoying this fruit. We
never get it this nice. This guy is just... Oh,
God. He's just messed up. So gross. Raynor is
going to go up to the priest and he's kind of
going to look at him and he's going to like,
they think you can help me out. Not a word. He
doesn't say a word, but he just slowly brings
his hands towards you. And as you're watching
him, you notice that he is also wearing a collar.
And as you see that, his hand is placed upon
your forehead. And that overwhelming feeling
of hot white burning courses through your body.
The blinding light once more. It's as if that
you almost can't imagine like a flashbang almost,
but you feel great. Oh, God. That was an experience,
not one that I would like to try again. Excuse
me, but I noticed you were mumbling something
before. Like, prisoner, prisoner, would you mind
sharing it? Maybe we could help each other out,
you know? It would be wise to keep your distance
from that one. Oh yeah, you can tell. That guy's
cutting himself. He's not very smart, is he?
He just looks at you and nods. Then you see him
turn around and pops back out the room. The crowd
continues to swell. And then you hear DJ Slip
Slorp. While we await for the blue team's next
trial, we have another team who thinks they can
take their place. Here we go. Next match. And
then another team once more is doing combat.
And this time it looks like that they're up against
a few. Gargoyles. Yes. So you see these stone
figures flying all around this other team. And
they're doing the best that, well, as far as
you can tell, they're doing the best that they
can. But each of these gargoyles are just swooping
at each of these individuals, tearing them from
limb to limb. And the crowd is going crazy. So
you have a few moments of respite. Everybody
take a long rest. Yes, long rest. Oh. Yes. Because
you're gonna need it. Go. The crowd continues
to go wild outside, and as it's almost as if
no time has passed, where you thought that you
would have this short... break the battle outside
took no less than 15 seconds and you can now
hear sorry see the a few like almost custodians
coming out cleaning out the pieces of what remains
of those individuals you can see the gargoyles
are now being corralled back into where they
belong into the opposite cage entrance just below
DJ Schlipschlorp. You can see some of these mages
cleaning out the blood using their prestidigitation
to ensure that the next combat is nice and clear
for the rest of you. Raynor's just going to go
up to Annie and he's going to say so I don't
know if you've noticed I talked to that guy kind
of just mumbles about the priest and he's like
the priest let me know that this this guy over
there that you know the blood letter he's a bit
crazy we shouldn't trust him now obviously you
don't trust anyone here that's fine but you're
also the only one who really managed to do any
damage so i'm betting all my coins on you if
i had any coins how quietly are you saying this
He's saying this like he doesn't really care.
He's starting to pre -spit a bit quietly, but
then the rest of it he's just going to be like,
yeah, I don't care. I don't recognize him. And
he's just going to put her hand on your head,
just go like, pat, pat, and then move away from
you. Right. He's just going to... That's a little
unfair. You hear the bloodletter open his mouth.
We're supposed to be a team. And he reaches for
more of the fruit. Oh. I watch your back, you
watch mine. And then what? And then watch your
own back. You seem to recognize me. Where do
I know you from? You don't remember. No, I don't.
I got these from you. And he once again forms
those sickles. Those spectral sickles that you
now recognize as something that you have made.
And maybe give me an intelligence check. Okay.
Ability check. Let's go. Alright, that is a total
of 20. Unnatural 20. Okay, you remember a young
dragonborn with strange scales that seem to shift
and change. Very young, maybe the age of 12,
13. And you remember making these sickles and
you remember selling them to this young boy.
Oh, that was you! Oh, my goodness. I can't believe
they still work. Well, kind of, after remembering
that they're not actually real. They're just
in ethereal form. But, oh, my goodness. I did
not recognize you. So you could say that the
blood on my hands are also on yours? Oh, I do
not take any ownership. Whatever you do with
what you purchase from me is of your own doing.
I simply supply. Whatever helps you sleep at
night. Annie's just gonna walk away and grab
another fruit from the table and eat on that.
It's almost all gone, by the way. By the blood
letter? Yeah. You could have saved some for the
rest of us. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. You
see it? Cool, cool, cool. Godara's just nervously
drinking the water, not... Just fills away, like,
sitting kind of, like, off to the distance, just
like, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Pause another.
Go, go, go, go, go, go. See? A smaller god enter
with more water. And at the sight of the blood
letter, you see this guard's hand, like, shaking
with the trade, and he just gently places it
down at the table and hurries out the room. Cool.
So, you guys have somehow related before this,
right? Uh, cool, cool, cool. I'm just gonna take
a moment to go over there. So he's gonna go towards
where Gordar is, and he's like, Uh, we're screwed.
You and me, we're both screwed. These two somehow
are in cahoots. Oh. Oh no. I didn't... I'm not
supposed to be here. I'm not supposed to be doing
this. Glug, glug, glug, glug, glug. Right, I'm
screwed. Yeah. God, he is you. The guard hears
you saying you're not supposed to be here and
you hear him chime in. Oh, you want to see the
warden? Then you're definitely supposed to be
here. It was just supposed to be a meeting. I
wasn't supposed to be fighting. Oh, this is a
meeting. Oh, goodness. It looks like that. The
arena is all cleaned up. What do you say we get
those winners back out here as the... crowd cheers
now let's call them forth once more and then
the rhythmic stomping again as the gate slowly
opens and the guard ushers you out who um yeah
and just like slowly it's like shuffling forwards
trying to make himself a small spot Come on,
handsome. As you walk past, he smacks you on
the ass. One of the snakes would lash out. Yeah,
I'm sure they would. Feisty. What is your name?
Jaren. My father will hear of this. Of course
he will. Walks out with a sudden determination.
Very good. As you step out first. You see that
just before you leave, the blood letter is like
all the way at the back. And it's almost like
he's hyping himself up just like before, but
he isn't charging in first this time. And you
see him, you know, getting himself pumped up
like before. He brings forth those ethereal sickles.
And you see him again, just like cutting into
his arms over and over again. You can see. That
he's just getting really, really pumped. As you
step outside, the crowd swells. You can hear
some of them cheering for, uh, for you. Some,
uh, some voices are yelling out, oh, you're gonna
die, pretty boy! And then some of them, you know,
you get your whistles, the, uh, the, uh, whee!
Sort of thing like that. And, yeah. Goron kind
of just looks up at them. Just gives them, like,
half an eye but also enjoy enjoying the adoration
yeah imagine first out on the plate we have the
young noble goddard and then they're continuing
cheering and they you hear you know all the jeers
and cheers from everybody so reyna will go next
and he's kind of like create out of use that
toothpick thing to kind of create his daggers
and he'll create his hat and he'll kind of like
fix up his jumpsuit a little bit so it looks
kind of presentable as he kind of just walks
out to the crowd and kind of looks at them and
he notices the blood letter is not there yet
so he's kind of being a little bit more hesitant
to kind of go in but he also knows presentations
everything So he's kind of being like, okay,
well, I'm going to present myself in the best
way possible to this crowd. So go in, act all
confident. So do you notice that the guard's
disposition has sort of slightly changed towards
your group? It's almost as if the last combat,
there's not necessarily a sense of respect, but...
He seems that there's more a bit of, not closeness,
but he seems to like you just a little more.
And as you're about to step out, he says to you,
yeah, good luck, little one. Thanks, mate. If
I don't die, you're half the coin. So as you
step out, the crowd is now cheering for you.
You hear DJ Schlip Schlop once more and he says,
Oh, and we have up next, we have Rainer. What's
he going to do this time? Do a little ditty or
make himself unseen? We will see at this upcoming
trial. And the crowd is cheering. And then you
hear one guy, yeah, go invisible again, you lame
-o. And then you hear somebody else rebuttal
his point. And there's these small arguments
close by on what you would possibly do. Some
underestimating you, some overestimating you.
You can hear some guy going, he's holding back!
He's holding back! But yeah, but you're taking
it in as you're doing this performance for the
crowd. Holy wow. And he's going to step out.
of that little room and she's just going to stretch
her body kind of shaking out her limbs making
sure that everything is like not cracking i guess
in her 50 year old goliath body as she takes
on a large form as part of one of her abilities
no straight out of the gate straight out of the
gate oh never mind says character level five
you are certainly not level five my mistake certainly
not But yeah, she's just going to stretch out
her limbs and just kind of crack her neck as
she, on the other hand, just starts clicking
her prosthetic arm, thumb, and middle finger,
trying to ignite a spark. Within the threshold
of this waiting room, you notice that your clicks,
when the flits rub together, there is no spark
within the threshold of this waiting room. Not
the same. It won't work, he. You gotta be out
there. And he... Fine. He gives you a genial
bow. And he goes, Madam. And he's a bit stunned
and surprised by that. She kind of ignores what
just happened there. And she continues walking
forward. As you step out of the waiting room.
DJ Slipshot. Oh, and one of our celebrity inmates,
Annie Flintfinger Bones. The crowd goes wild.
And some of them, you hear some folks questioning
your identity. Who? Others are like, that's no
way, Flintfingers. And then you hear murmurs
and then you hear some old guy. Annie, yeah,
I love you, Annie. And you look up and it's just
like. you know a hundred year old man who's just
like with a sign that says i love you annie and
as he's like yeah go on sorry and he's like stretching
out her neck and she's just hearing all of these
chants and she maybe hears the old man screaming
and she kind of looks up sees the banner and
just goes that's about right As the three of
you look, you can see now that the crowd within
that short period of time, some of them have
had banners. It is almost like one of those,
like a WWF wrestling ring. And you've got folks
with banners on it, like saying, I love you,
Annie. Yeah, Godard. Snake. Guy? Girl? Question
mark. Radar. Go invisible again. All these sort
of stuff, right? So the crowd's going crazy.
But then there's this brief moment where you
almost think that the blood letter isn't going
to come out. And you're waiting there as the
crowd is still cheering and calling out your
names and such. And lastly, we have the serial
killer, the blood letter. And then you see him
step out. He is now. bleeding not well it looks
like he's bleeding he may be bleeding profusely
but his arms are coated in blood and he's screaming
to the crowd both arms up and he's cheering as
all the people are beginning to cheer for him
all these prisoners are going fucking wild oh
that's my one um that's my one f word for this
episode so he approaches the three of you you
all ready squatter looks over him does it look
like it's his blood do you mean does it look
like goddard's blood no does it look like the
bloodletters blood like does he have open wounds
or was oh he does have open wounds but uh why
don't you go ahead and give me an investigation
Let's say an AC 13. All right. That's a plus
zero. And I rolled a 19. All right. You notice
that like with the blood that it's hard to tell
because it's like red blood. But then you look
over to where you came from and you can just
see the guard is clasping his throat as he slowly
falls down. Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. It's like, takes
two, like, side steps away from the blood letter.
Now we have an interesting trial for these three.
They are going to face off with one of our newest
inmates, another celebrity, another well -known,
none other than the Lighthouse family's Coppernickel.
And the crowd is going nuts. They're going wild.
You all recognize the name Copper Nickel. He
is a weapons dealer, a arms dealer who works
for the Lighthouse family, one of the biggest
crime families of Antili. The gate opens and
slowly you see this individual. Step out in an
orange jumpsuit and it is an Aarakocra. Looks
to be old and almost decrepit. You notice his
wings. They've clipped his wings completely where
all the feathers have been torn from it. And
it's just almost like these bare, bare limbs
that limply hang over him. And you see him step
out with two other guards. And with the two guards,
he has other, there's these two small objects
that seem to follow. And it's two little barrels
with spider -like legs, mechanical spider legs
following in tow. Annie, you most definitely
know Copper Nickel. uh you do not you do not
remember him as copper nickel though you do not
recall his name back then but he was a fierce
competitor a very fierce competitor back in the
day and it was he would swindle you he would
undercut you he would do whatever it took uh
whatever it took to um to try and beat you at
the business And for a brief moment, you think
you see that he too recognizes you. And you see
Copper Nickel sort of just straightens himself
up. This almost old man cracks his neck and you
see one of the guards undoes the... And it's
unusual because generally when you are in this
prison, the only shackles that you would have
would be the braces around your neck. But Copper
Nickel seems to also have braces on his feet
and also his arms. And you see one of the guards
undo the ones on his feet. You see the other
guard undoes the one on his hands. And you see
him sort of stretch. his arms and the two guards
leave and now it's just sort of like almost stretching
like an old man does you know it's just like
a bit of difficulty and as the two guards leave
another one re -enters and you see um from where
you're standing It's hard to see what this other
guard is doing, but then you realize what it
is. He is placing one of those stone little rods
into his bracer. As the rod is placed into his
bracer, you see that his wings, he stretches
it out and spectral feathers are formed within
his wings. You see a spectral rifle in his hand.
You see now that the two little barrels almost
ready to pounce. And he steps closer to the four
of you, ignoring Raynor, ignoring Godar, ignoring
the blood letter. And he looks at you, Annie.
Well, it's been a long, long time, Annie. I could
say the same for you, bird brain. Looks like
you're not dead as everybody thought you were.
No, I've been out for a long time. I took over
the business. I was running that city till those
upstarts got me. Caught me. But don't you worry,
I'll be back out there. And nobody be remembering
your name. At that, Annie's gonna take a look
at the crowd. Can she kind of tell how many are
cheering for her versus how many are cheering
for Birdbrain? Uh... Give me... Oh, no, you know
what? No. They're all cheering for him at this
point. You can barely hear... You can barely
hear anyone mention your name. You are long and
forgotten. It has been, what, 30, 40 years? And
you see the old man, like, cheering for you before.
It is now crossed out Annie and it says Copernickel
on it. Well, that's just insulting. Now to think
that I get to kill little old Annie. And you
see him sort of, like, doing that old man walk
away thing. And you hear DJ slip shrug. Well,
it looks like it is time for their next trial.
Let's get this started. Let's go. And then the
ground begins to shake once more. And you can
see as the ground shakes. wheat fields begins
to rise, corn fields. You see a silo not too
far off, not just reaching the tip of the, just
to the side of the bubble, closer towards where
Skybox is. Is that what that's called? Where
normally, yeah, the Skybox is. And you see Copper
Nickel with his sort of like hunched sort of
old man thing and takes flight. He's up in the
air. And let us roll initiative. So, Gorda...
Well, I. Sorry, not Gorda. Gorda's not rolling
dice. I rolled a 10. Annie, what did you get?
Annie, I rolled an 18 for initiative. Thank you.
Rainer? I rolled a 19. Okay. Now. So... it looks
like that uh the blood letter rolled a 13. okay
and uh the barrels rolled a 17 and copper nickel
rolled a 22. so the crowd goes absolutely wild
and as copper nickel flies up annie you see that
the gun in itself and now you recognize the gun
that he is holding it is daisy may is aimed straight
towards you is it too early to say that um there's
a shield reaction that annie can bestow upon
herself or is that a bit later no a reaction
is a reaction if if somebody makes an attack
you simply say that i will use shield I would
advise that you do because that is a 21 versus
a C. Excuse me? My goodness. Okay. Yep. And he's
going to use shield. So he, yes, most definitely.
So you see Copper Nickel, you see him lining
his shot towards you and he fires and you see
he fires towards you. It is a 21. Does that hit
with your shield? 5 plus bonus to AC. 5 plus
11 is 16. That hits. You get shot on the shoulder
as the bullet hits you. Do you notice that, like,
the way his gun works, it's almost an improvement
from your previous designs? And you are going
to take seven points of damage. All right. Let
me just put that in. Sorry, not seven. Five points
of damage. And he's going to recoil and grunt
in pain as that force of energy, I guess that
blast impact, just hits her shoulder. And she's
going to sort of almost wide -eyed and looking
at the ground, kind of smiling maniacally. Just
saying, like, I have a lot to catch up on. Oh,
it looks like that copper nickel has just winged
Annie here. Two arms dealers? Some of the top?
Will they win? Who will win? Find out pretty
soon. Alright, up next, Raynor. Yep. So you see
Copper Nickel up above. He had just fired his
rifle towards Annie. She has just got clipped
by the shoulders. You now see these two barrels
are sort of like skittering and they're like,
and it's ready to pounce. Okay. Rainer is going
to kind of look at the rest of their group and
he's going to, with his hand, he's going to reach
out to all of them, not even touch them, just
kind of reach out. And he's going to use aid.
which will increase their hit points by five.
So all three. So even the blood letter. Damn.
Oh, so they all get temporary hit points by five.
Is that correct? Okay, cool. Our hit point maximum
is increased, not temporary. Oh, okay. Thank
you. Damn. Thank you very much. Perfect. So you've
cast eight and everybody gets five HP on top
of their max. Is there anything else you'd like
to do? He's going to... This is an ability. He's
just going to lay down prone and cover his head
like that, like in a disaster recovery situation.
Okay. There is wheat fields everywhere. He's
just trying to make himself not a viable target.
Perfect. All right, awesome. The wheat field...
You can see that there, for the most of you,
is just at... Well, Godar, you would be the standard
height here. How tall is Raynor again? 5 '8",
5 '7", 5 '9", something like around that. He's
taller than Godar. Oh, okay. All right. So you
are the point of average, Raynor. So the wheat
field is currently just around your waist. Yeah.
Okay. So, same, uh, Gordar, it's just nearly
up to your chest. Okay? And you guys can just
see, like, the top of the barrels, and you guys
can see, like, movements, like, around, uh, you
know, the shuffling of the wheat field and cornfield.
Annie, uh... Just at your hips, I guess. The
wheat field. Because you are pretty big. Okay,
so you duck for cover. Yeah, so he's prone to
disaster recovery position. Perfect. All right.
So do you end your turn there? Yep. All right.
Perfect. Okay. Annie, you are up. Okay. I just
have one question. So with the little stone needle
that was implemented in our collars, are we allowed
to change or modify what we've selected? Like
what shows up in the... Yeah? Okay. Perfect.
So you see the smith's tools that are currently
in between each fingers on Annie's left prosthetic
arm. You see them kind of fall back into her
palm and just outside of her hand, you see them
come back out, but they're no longer smith's.
They are tinker's tools now. And with that, Annie
is going to cast magical tinkering and she's
going to create a rope. Oh, okay. So you, Annie,
you've created this rope. That would be your
action, is that correct? That would be my action.
Is there anything else you'd want to do? I do
believe that is it for the moment. Okay. You
see that these barrels are skittering around,
and one of these barrels, you can see, Godard,
it is getting relatively closer to you. And as
it gets closer to you, you see grizzly in the
wheat field, just the tip of that barrel you
can see. And you hear a... Is that barrel moving
towards me? As it's getting closer, louder and
louder. And then just as you say, is that barrel
getting closer towards me? You see this barrel
jump over you. Right? It jumps over you and you
see a compartment as you're staring at it. You
see this compartment open up from it and you
can see these round balls begin to drop and descend
towards you. Give me a dexterity save, DC 12.
Oh goodness, no. that is a seven all right so
as you say oh goodness no these things drop down
towards you as they're dropping they on impact
boom boom boom they explode onto you and you're
going to take you're going to take three points
of damage as the barrel lands behind you and
you can hear it three what type of damage is
that oh um Fire. Okay. The second barrel. You,
Rainer, as you're, like, down there, you do have
cover. You hear that high -pitched whine coming
towards you. Now, with cover, you do... We'll
say it's half cover. What's the covers in this
one? It's half and full? Or is there like quarter
and then three quarters? Half cover, three quarter
total cover. Okay, so let's say three quarters.
How much AC does he gain from that? Plus five.
Plus five. And two AC and dexterity saving throws.
Okay. What was that on the dex saving throw?
Get a plus five dex saving throws as well. Okay.
All right. So you hear this high pitch whine
and you can hear also the... the rustling of
the wheat uh the the wheats and you just you
look up and you can see this thing just almost
flying above you and a compartment opens and
you see these three balls drop down towards you
uh because you are prone i will need a dexterity
saving throw of 12 with uh disadvantage but you
do get a plus five on it because And then we'll
add five to that. So that, 13. Perfect. So you,
as these bombs drop down, as you're seeing it,
you quickly shift yourself and you roll as these
three bombs drop right next to you. Boom, boom,
and three of them explode. The radius blast isn't
that large. It's almost as if it's just contained
within itself. But you, whew. I'm happy these
things did not hit you. And you now see, well,
if you kind of look back from your prone position,
you notice that the barrel is almost moving in
a way where it's like searching. You see the
blood letter. He's looking up Copper Nickel and
you see him unsure on what he's going to do and
almost in a sense of frustration on what he can
do, right? So. You see him trying to run. He
runs past the three of you. You see that the
barrels, both the barrels are trying to leap
towards him. And those who can see the barrels,
you see little grabby claws come out and trying
to grab him. So let's just take a look, see if
any of them grabs him. All right, so he runs
forward. The blood letter runs forward and the
first barrel, which is the one closest to you,
Raynor, tries to grab him. You, these little
mechanical arms come out of this barrel, but
the blood letter ducks and weaves and then just
kicks it out of the way. And he continues to
run. He runs past you, Godard. As he runs past
you, the barrel that is by you, you see these
mechanical arms sort of come out. Well, you hear
like... and you see the blood letter just sort
of stop in place and it's like crackers as he
just swings towards this barrel he's beginning
to try and dance with this barrel as he previously
had as you previously seen with his sickles but
he seems to have great trouble doing so So you're
unsure if he is actually making any contact,
but you do hear steel on wood. Okay. And Gordar,
you are up. Oh, good. Ow, ow, ow. I was just,
like, putting out, like, a little fire up on
his clothes. Like, ew, ew, no, no, no, no. Um,
ew, ah. can i see copper nickel yes most definitely
he's up up up at the threshold of the bubble
you dear sir are already a pain in my side as
i'm going to bonus action go into innate sorcery
the crown the medusa crown flares up the snakes
uh uh yeah launch up and their eyes glow that
green their jaws extend as um i use that as i
gain advantage on sorcery uh sorcerer spells
and my dc goes up by one for them and i'm going
to cast as he raises his hand like um from underneath
his clothes this like spectral like green like
tattoo kind of runs up his arm before it curls
off the back of his hand and launches forwards
as i cast ray of sickness perfect and that is
at advantage this is a sorcerer spell 24 to hit
but you most definitely hit him 11 points of
poison damage and now has the poison condition
can you tell me more about the poison condition
the poison condition uh means that he has disadvantage
on attack rolls. Okay. And ability checks. Until
the end of my next turn. All right, so he has
disadvantage, basically, right? Yeah, okay. Yep.
As your Ray of Sickness hits him, and it hits
him, where do you want it to hit? Just send a
mass. Okay, send a mass. Hits him square in the
chest. Oh, you tricky son of a bitch. Yes, well,
snakes don't exactly like birds. Perfect. And
you see, like, when you hit him square in the
chest, right, he sort of, like, descends from
impact for a brief moment, and he sort of flies
himself back up, like, straightening himself.
Is there anything else you'd like to do? That
is my turn. Okay. It's Copper Nickel now, once
more. And with that shot, he now... Aims Daisy
Mae towards you. You dirty bastard, he says.
And he takes aim. Oh, actually, I'm not a bastard.
I know who my father is. Have you heard of Viridor
Sevrok? He considers for a moment, not saying
anything, but before he does, 16 versus AC. Um,
is that disadvantage? Oh, good. Yes. All right.
Yeah, I got to do that again. That is now 14.
Shield. Okay. So you see Copper Nickel aim at
you. I know you're a dirty father. And he fires
his, he fires Daisy May towards you. The bullet
flies and whirls to the air as it is going straight
for your chest, exactly where you hit him. And
that shield, that shimmer that you've produced
before, once again, just comes over you and the
bullet. The bullet bounces off. The secondary,
his left hand flicks as the spectral energy comes
from the crystal, just covering. Dirty bastard.
You haven't looked in the mirror recently, have
you? He's got no comeback for that. The crowd
is going wild. Oh, it looks like Godard was well
prepared for that shot. The crowd is going nuts
at this point. Again, going now. Woo! Godard!
Yeah, baby! And then from there, let us... Raynor,
it is your turn. You are down on the ground,
prone. You have a barrel just behind you, trying
to look for you. Not too far, you can see the
bloodletter almost dancing, but seems to be somewhat
struggling. You see Godard just fire at this
flying bastard and Annie over there. Yep. So
what Raynor is going to do is kind of look at
the direction of the copper nickel. Yep. He's
gonna just shout out, your rings aren't even
real! As he kind of casts Tasha's Hideous Laughter.
So, creature of my choice, within range, makes
a wisdom saving throw. When it fails to save,
it gives him prone and incapacitated for the
duration. So, from what I remember, he's poisoned.
Yeah. All right, so Wisdom saving throw. It doesn't
do saving throws, unfortunately. Just ability
checks. Yeah. Ah, okay. All right, so Wisdom
save. So it is just normal in this case. And
the DC is what? 13, I think. You see Copper Nickel
with his hawk -like eyes. Well, they are hawk
eyes. He is a Aarakocra. He turns his gaze towards
you as you're screaming at him, and you, from
where you are, you're unsure on exactly his facial
expressions. But then you see him drop, and he's
now dropping, and he hits the ground quick and
hard with a thunk, and then you just hear...
Cool. He's down on the ground. Is there anything
else you'd like to do? Yes. I would like to cast
Bardic Inspiration on the person next to me.
So he kind of looks in the direction of someone
who can do something, and he casts Bardic on
Annie. Perfect. Alright, now... Let me... Did
Copperneagle take any fall damage? That's what
I'm about to do. So it is 1d6 for every 10 feet,
if I remember correctly. Pretty sure, yeah. It
would have been roughly... What was the range
of your spell? The max range on it? No, sorry,
Godar's spell. Oh, that? The poison spray. What
was the max range? It has 60 feet. Oh, perfect.
Which is exactly what I was thinking. So it would
have been 60 feet up in the air. So that's 1d6
per 10 feet. So that's... What did I say? 6.
So that's 6d6. So I hit with a fireball. Oh,
that's 8d6. Yeah. That is a lot. 6d6. Okay. So,
the fall damage, which was a 66, he's going to
take a total of 25 points of damage. Ooh, that's
nice. Oh, wow. Free falling. All right, Annie,
you are up. You just see Copernickel drop like
a stone, like a sack of bricks, and you hear
him laughing. And Annie's going to... I hope
he's not too far from where Annie is currently.
He's closer towards the... He's at the edge of
the wheat field. So it's about... Because you
are all somewhere, sequestered somewhere within
the middle of the arena. So he's roughly about
30 feet away from you. Okay. Well, because of
that, Annie's just going to look to the warp
that she just created and she's going to go,
wrong one. And instead she's going to cast Tasha's
caustic brew. Oh, okay. Caustic? Caustic. Caustic.
Could you tell me what that does? Okay. So, a
stream of acid emanates from you in a line of
30 feet long and 5 feet wide, and he is walking
over to the birdman. Birdbrain. In a direction
you choose, each creature in the line must succeed
on a dexterity saving throw or be covered in
acid for the spell's duration or until the creature
uses its action to scrape or wash the acid off
itself or another creature. Okay. So you're...
Describe to me how she approaches Copernickel,
an old rival. Annie is like, she's kind of mad,
but she's also intrigued. So she's just going
to gently, gently, in quotation marks, walk over
to him, one foot in front of the other. And she's
just kind of like, how would you describe this?
Like flexing her fingers of her prosthetic arm
as she does so? just kind of doing that she's
sort of like in her head she's wondering what
has happened in the time that she's gone that
this bastard is now at the head of well yeah
the weapon yeah he's the biggest entire network
yeah she's wondering what the hell it is and
she's like getting more jealous and more envious
the more she walks towards him so her stride
as she's approaching gets slightly faster and
faster would you say yes Yeah. She's like one
step, two step, one step, two step, one step,
two step, one step, two step. And where are you
going to stop? How far from him are you going
to stop? Because you're 30 feet. You started
30 feet away from him. I want to say like right
at his talons. Okay. You. You. Bitch. Oh, that
wasn't me. But this is. And Annie, with her prosthetic
arm, is just going to sort of hover it over his
body as you just see little drops of acid kind
of come loose from the image of her prosthetic
arm. Sort of like leaking oil. Oh, cool. Alright,
okay. So is he going to take initial damage or
is it just at the start of his turn? That is
a good question. It looks like just at the start
of his turn. Okay. Yeah, because it looks like
Dexterity's saving throw needs to be done first.
Yeah. All right. So he'll go ahead and do that.
What is the AC? DC 13, I believe. Okay. So as
he's laughing and taunting you, even from the
ground, he got a seven. So your acid drips and
is now covered onto him. Up this close now as
well, you can see that the ethereal feathers
on his wings are no more. You find those bare
limbs almost twitching in a way, trying to almost
take flight. Okay. Interesting. Very sad. Is
there anything else you want to do? One question
and one thing. One question. Do I roll for damage?
Do we roll it now? And then just hold on to it.
Because that will be the damage you'll take.
All right. And just one thing about Copernickel,
as Annie's kind of looking down on him. Where
on his... If at all... on his body other is there
any tools that he's holding or any tools that's
on his person not that you can see he's holding
daisy may hmm okay interesting the ethereal daisy
may in his hand all right the barrels the one
closest to you godar is uh also within um reach
of the blood letter and you can't Tell exactly
what is happening, but you almost hear a whirring
and an impact hits the blood letter, almost knocking
him over. And both of you will need to give me
a dexterity save with a DC of 12. He's whirring.
That's not good. You hear a... I got a 17. Okay.
So as the beeping gets louder, faster and faster,
right? And the impact hits the blood letter,
an explosion happens. You are caught in this
explosion, right? And you reel back, almost knocking
you on your butt, right? The blood letter is
going to take the grunt of the damage while you're
going to take half. Okay. So it's going to be
three points of fire damage. And he will take
seven. And you see from the explosion, you can
see pieces of wood and metal begins to just fly
off. The other barrel is still circling and looking
for you. uh Raynor and once again you see it
sort of uh leap over you dropping these uh three
bombs once more uh go ahead and give me the dexterity
saving throw with disadvantage dc 12 yep so I
hit a 13 and that's without the plus five perfect
so once again you just managed to roll yourself
out of the way I imagine it's just like Roll
left. And then this side, roll right. Yeah. So
the bombs drop right next to you once more. Completely
missing you. And it lands this time by your face.
And you can see its spider -like leg, mechanical
legs in front of you, sort of moving in erratic
ways. It's done. It is now the blood letter.
The blood letter. Oof. Now free, taking damage,
slightly singed and on fire. And he sees where
you are, Annie, and realizes on who you're up
against. And he yells out, no, he's mine! And
he charges towards you, Annie. Okay? And he is
going to bull rush you. And that is a 19 versus
AC? Yeah, that's going to be a hit. Okay. there
is two things there's bardic inspiration so i
wonder does that do anything no that adds to
your attack rolls okay at that there's a passive
ability then called lucky okay so luck points
you have a number of luck points equal to your
proficiency bonus um when you roll a oh When
a creature rolls a d24 and attack roll against
you, you can spend one luck point to impose disadvantage
on that roll. Okay. For those listening at home,
my face is at a sense of bewilderment because
I was not aware that I had luck. All right, so
the initial roll was, what did I say, 19? You
said 17. Did I say 17? Yeah, I'm pretty sure
I said 19, yeah. All right, but it's at a disadvantage,
so I'm going to roll it again. And okay. So,
use your luck point. You see the blood letter
now. As he yells, no, he's mine. You look back
and you see the blood letter charging straight
at you. And you see him about to tackle you out
of the way, but you manage to sort of just...
your reflexes may not be what it used to be but
you swivel out of the way as he goes diving straight
and he hits the wall just uh well hits the gates
just beyond uh just beyond you onto where he
drops and you see him stand up he is mine and
you see him raise up both his sickles to bring
it down towards copper nickel As he brings down
both of his sickles towards Copernicus, still
laughing, he was a bit, what do you call it?
What's the word here? A bit phased when he hit
that gate, those huge iron gate. And as he brings
down his both sickles, completely misses. And
he yells out, no! And that will be him, Kordar.
uh god i was gonna hear the explosions and the
uh quick rolling of reena near him um yeah he's
kind of looking forwards and backwards towards
roughly where like oh you can see because annie's
standing right you can see like her clearly above
yes um kind of like looking in between like two
is like um okay uh little one help the little
one um as um pointer and ring finger flick out
the little beads of green energy which turn into
snake fangs he's going to whip forward towards
the little construct barrel and he's going to
sorcerer's burst with advantage because i have
my hellos of snakes okay and that's going to
be a 20 to hit unnatural all right because he
has three quarters cover that's a plus five to
his ac that barrel's ac But with a total of 20,
you still hit. Give me an eight. It's a seven.
Seven points of poison damage. Perfect. So as
you've gone and fired your thing, you can see
just the rim of this barrel moving around and
you can almost guesstimate on exactly its positioning
and you aim straight towards it. Raynor. Pieces
of wood just drop and pieces of metal and things
just drops, not only on you, but in front of
you. And the barrel has now been exploded. Are
you alive? Reiner just puts up his hand and kind
of waves. Oh, goodness. Okay. Annie, are you
okay? Annie will bring up a thumbs up towards
the direction of where she hears Godard's voice.
Ah, the important ones are fine. The crowd is
going insane. Oh, it looks like that two of Copper
Nickel's little toys are out of commission and
he is down and out. Godard, from where you're
standing, you can see the girl and the... gothic
lolita dress just almost as if she is at on the
edge of her seat and she's peering down and she's
just watching everything that is happening all
right copper nickel is now up on the ground still
laughing and he needs to make a save and son
is it at the end or the start of his turn for
the laughter um it is at the end of its turn
or if it's been attacked Okay, so he hasn't been
attacked yet. And now, Annie, with your acid
thing, does he take the damage at the start or
the end of his turn? At the start of each of
its turns. Okay, so you rolled a seven earlier?
I believe so, yes. Yes, okay. Now, since he's
taken that damage, that means that the laughter
ceases, correct? He gets advantage on the save.
Okay, alright. So, up a nickel. What do you mean,
being burned by acid isn't funny? He's still
laughing. He stands up. I'm gonna take your head,
girl. As he aims the rifle. Because you're about,
you said, uh what was oh no you're right at him
so five feet so he aims at you point blank he's
going to have disadvantage on the shot towards
you oh no actually he's not gonna do that no
he's laughing he's laughing so much right and
when he says uh he he doesn't say he's gonna
have your head I'm going to take your eyes. That's
what he says. And he lunges towards you. And
he is going to peck your eyes out. That's messed
up. Give me a dexterity saving throw, please,
of a DC 16. Hey, look, the chicken's still alive.
All right. Can Annie add bardic inspiration to
this that she had earlier? Yes. Perfect. i think
so or did they did they change it for 2014 because
i remember there was a change for bardic inspiration
i believe i need to roll a normal deck save first
and then i can add bardic inspiration you can
it's for a when you fail a d20 test so that's
how they describe just any d20 roll um you if
you You can do it when you fail rather than saying
beforehand. So if you know you failed, then you
can add it to potentially succeed. Perfect. All
right. So what was your total roll? Okay. So
that's going to be a five plus 10 for the saving
throw, putting it at 15. Okay. So as he's laughing,
saying that he's going to have your eyes. Okay.
He's now going to, he is just all over your face.
Right. You can feel him on you as he immediately
lunges towards you. You can feel his beak pecking
at you, pecking at your face. Get off of me!
And 16 versus AC? AC 11. Okay. And so you're
going to take six points of damage. And you are
also blinded. Oh, great. With that, Annie is
going to pull together her giant storm ancestry.
Thus... When you take damage from a creature
within 60 feet of you, you can take a reaction
to deal 1d8 thunder damage to that creature.
So Birdbrain's gonna get cocked. So he's still
laughing as he's pecking away at your face and
hitting your eye. Enough! And at the enough,
Annie's skin just starts to kind of glow white
with like little hints of purple as you see little...
strings of i want to say lightning just kind
of going between her own skin and to bird brain
and as he uh yeah so you are now currently blinded
from the pecs to the face right and he is now
going to roll his wisdom saving throw for the
laughing he has advantage on it too He has advantage.
Oh, that's right. He has advantage. Okay. So
what is the DC once more? 13. 13. Okay. So he
rolled a total of 13. So meets beats. Okay. And
I'm going to take care of you. I'm going to take
care of the big guy behind me. I'm going to take
care of that little bastard. And I'm going to
take care of that snake boy over there. Okay.
Raynor, you're up. Can Raynor heal up? No, so
it was low enough. It is 30 feet away. Alright,
so Raynor is kind of going to see him kind of
go up and stop pecking at his face as he kind
of just screams out You still haven't answered
my question about the fake wings. Is it like
a medical condition? What happened? I can see
the stubs. Okay. I'll give you my answer soon
enough, boyo. This means that, so you've cast,
what did you cast? I cast Vicious Mockery, which
is a string of insults laced with subtle enchantments.
So it's a wisdom saving throw. Or they take DC
1d6 psychic damage and have disadvantage on the
next attack roll. Okay. So he must make a wisdom
saving throw. And it is 13. Okay. So he rolled
a total of four. So he must take 1d6 damage.
Is that correct? That is correct. How much does
he take? He rolls, he gets one damage. Okay.
He did have his comeback and he said he will
answer your question once he gets to you. And
just as a bonus, Rainer is kind of going to look
at Gordar and he's very impressed that Gordar
was able to destroy these chests as he kind of...
With his, like, thing, he's going to be like,
go, go, Godar! As he casts robotic inspiration.
Perfect. Cheerleader. I love the callback to
a inspect the gadget. So... Is there anything
else you'd like to do? That is his turn. All
right. Annie, you are up. You are currently blinded.
You can sort of sense... sense Copernickel within
your vicinity, but you're not entirely sure where.
And Annie's going to shake her head and try and
get her bearings, sort of trying to remember
who's directly around her, preferably within
15 feet. Okay, well... You know that from what
you last remember, both Coppernickel and Godar,
not Godar, sorry, the blood letter is well within
15 feet of you. Perfect. Annie is going to cast
Thunderwave from herself. All right. Tell me
about Thunderwave. Okay. So similarly to, wait,
how she casts it or Thunderwave itself? Both.
Okay. So, Thunderwave, you unleash a wave of
thunderous energy. Each creature in a 15 -foot
cube originating from you makes a constitution
saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes
2d8 thunder damage and is pushed 10 feet away
from you. On a successful save, the creature
takes half as much damage only. From the reaction
that Annie had from Birdbrain pecking at her
face, gross, by the way, Her skin continues to
illuminate a white and purple as larger streams
of thunder and lightning come out of her. And
it kind of comes out like in a square shape,
but it sort of spirals into the outline of a
square from where she's standing. So it is a
constitution saving throw. So that means both
Coppernickel and the Bloodletter must make a
constitution saving throw. So we'll go first
with the Bloodletter. He rolled a total of not
very good, which is a total of seven. Perfect.
Yep. And Coppernickel? Please. A total of 18.
Damn. could I as a Rainer use cutting words which
is using my wit to supernaturally distract, confuse
or sap the confidence of his ability so it's
an ability which if anything I can see within
60 feet makes a damage roll or succeeds on an
ability check or attack roll I can take a reaction
to expend one of my bardic inspiration so that
will hopefully minimize how much you got okay
go right ahead and roll that but tell me first
how exactly do you distract him he's gonna be
like you're not going to tell me anything mate
you're about to die and he just kind of points
towards annie as you yell that out he momentarily
looks towards you that is fine Okay, so we take
five away from his roll. So it was previously
18, so it is now 13. What was the DC again, Annie?
13. Meets beats. So he will take half damage
and he will not be pushed back while Bloodletter
will take the full brunt of the force and he
will actually be pushed back towards the bars.
So go ahead and roll that damage for me, please.
What? I hate my dice. Damage is a total of four.
A total of four. Okay, so Copernicus will take
two. And the Bloodletter will take four. And
he is pushed back. And through the impact, he
will take an additional damage of 1d6. He's going
to take an additional two damage. So he's going
to take a total of six. But Copernickel only
takes two. I hate my dice, man. I hate my dice.
As you cast your Thunder Wave, you can see that
Copernickel reels back and resists the force
of your spell. But then he turns around and he
goes straight for the Bloodletter and he aims
his rifle towards the Bloodletter, firing it.
He's taking a legendary action. Wait, did you
say legendary action? Yes. Oh, no. So he aims
and sets off his rifle. What does that mean?
And he does six points of damage towards the
blood letter. Is there anything else you'd want
to do, Annie? That shall be it. Okay. It is now
the Bloodletter's turn. You see him wipe himself,
blood streaming from his nostrils. You see his
scales, this iridescent sort of colorization
within his scales, shifting between red and blue
and green. He stands up and he looks at Copper
Nickel. You're gonna make me even more famous.
As he charges towards Copernickel and he begins
to do his sickle dance. You see him and you can
see Copernickel ducking and weaving almost any
of it. You're not sure if he hits anything or
not. And that is the blood letter. Gordar. Phew,
so much has happened. Um, okay. So, as Gordar
looks over at, like, the dance, the signal dance
that is happening, do I have a clear shot upon?
Oh, you can see him quite clearly. Yeah. Alrighty.
I'm going to do the pointer and ring finger,
just two little beads of green energy, as I once
again cast Sorcerer's Burst. Sure. Towards Coppernickel.
all right so that is an advantage because i still
have my crown thank god it's advantage because
that was a a one but and a 16 which brings it
to a total of 21 to hit perfect so you must definitely
hit with your breast and that is one point of
poison damage all right Because luck is not happening
for us right now. This is your luck. What's happening?
Alright. So. Is there anything else you'd like
to do? Crouch. Okay. Perfect. As your... Oh.
As it flicks and only one of the fangs just nick
the edge of Coppernickel, it's like, Oh. Stay
over there, chicken. I'm just going to duck down
underneath. In the long grass. Oh my god, that's
so cute. It is now his turn. Oh, Annie, you cannot
see. And the two of you cannot see what he's
doing either. As that little neck... As that
neck hits him and you duck down, you just hear
him go... Which one's Nick? No. The guy in the
crowd, the old man, who now says, I love you,
Copper Nickel. Nick hits him, Nick just throws
a sign from the crowd. Okay, so... It's a breakaway
sign. What is your stealth modifier? Who? Godar,
sorry. Godar, what is your stealth modifier?
Plus three. For those who cannot see, I have
a big, wide, shit -eating grin on my face right
now. That's never good. Who? I'm perfectly safe
here. You won't be able to find me. It's okay.
And he gives me an attack of opportunity towards...
Oh, no, you can't. You're blind. No, never mind.
You're blind. You don't see nothing. I don't
see nothing. You hear the rustling of the...
What do you call it? The wheat fields. And Godar,
right before you, above you, spectral feathers,
spectral wing. You can see just 10 feet above
you. Found you. Oh, hey, chicken. He's going
to go ahead and fire Daisy Mayne. And he takes
aim, and it's almost too easy for him. like shooting
fish in a barrel and that will be an 18 verse
ac an 18 hits he fires and a bullet he shot you
earlier didn't he uh oh no it was only that got
shot i've just been hit by barrels yep so you
feel uh You feel a hot white sensation upon your
shoulder, not burning exactly, or it could be
burning, but you're not sure. And now you're
seeing as you sort of kind of examine yourself
and you see that blood is beginning to trickle
from your shoulder going through your prison
jumpsuit. And he yells out, I'll find you the
other one pretty soon. I don't know why he's
turning into a witch. I'll find you, my pretty.
And your little dog, too. Awful. How much damage
do I take? You take nine points of damage. Nine
points of what type damage? It would be force.
Just holding his arm as, like, the blood's just
starting to, like, pool under the clothing. I'm
just going to roll attack of opportunity from
the bloodletter to see if he wings him. And that
is a one. So no. All right. That is him. So Rainer,
you heard the rustling of the weeds. You hear
a whoosh and you look above you and about 10,
15 feet up the air, you can see Copper Nickel
once more and you just heard Godar get shot.
oh god he's just gonna like try to concentrate
as he tries to like form a ball his hands are
like moving like um they're like trying to claw
at himself as he's trying to concentrate and
he kind of just keeps his eyes directly on the
copper nickel as he kind of casts this dissonant
whispers so Destiny of Whisperers is one creature
of your choice that you can see within range.
Hear the discordant melody in their mind. They
have to make a wisdom saving throw on a failed
save. It's 1d6 psychic damage and must immediately
use its reaction, if available, to move as far
away from you as possible using the safest route.
Okay. On a successful, it's half as much. All
right. That is a 19. Succeeds. Okay. So that
means he only takes half as much. Is that correct?
Yes. Does he still do the reaction thing? I only
think that's unfailed. Perfect. All right. So
go ahead and give me his damage. 11. 11. Okay.
So half of 11. So these whispers. begin to form
it's recorded so it will hear the whisper and
you see him you watch as the whispers are getting
almost getting to him and then he shakes his
head found you and you see him eyeballing you
and he is going to take a legendary action this
round and he's going to go straight towards you
and he too is going to try and peck your eyes
out so go ahead and give me a dexterity save
with a dc of 18. okay and is that still a disadvantage
um no okay so you can tell me did you stand up
when you cast this in at whispers i deed okay
so it will be just flat okay i cast an unnatural
i classed a nat 20 and plus four so i am a 24.
perfect all right that was really really good
so as he dives towards you you can feel him on
you you can feel him uh he's uh His beak trying
to scratch at your face. You can feel the snapping
of it trying to peck your eyes out. But he can't
seem to get to you. All right. I still have bonus,
thankfully. I probably wouldn't be able to do
anything just because he's right in my face.
So I'm just going to scream out, Annie, over
here! And hope that that direction would kind
of... Help. Okay. Cool. Alright. Annie, you are
up. Okay. So, upon hearing, um, Raynor's plea
for help, Annie's going to continue just, like,
like, ducking down, going at her face, trying
to remove, like, all of the blood and just trying
to, like, open her eyes again. Just go, Oh my
god, I got it! And just in her left arm, you
can kind of see the tools. switch out from tinker's
tools to smith's tools as she prepares to create
an eldritch cannon okay let me just double check
here okay so your action is going to create a
cannon yes all right you're doing the best as
you can as blinded as you are okay um you managed
to put your uh your cannon together which cannon
are you oh it can switch wasn't it it can switch
yes it can switch now whenever you want okay
now just give me what was it uh oh no and as
you've completed it your eyes and your vision
sort of clears up as you've like you know been
trying to clear the dirt and everything uh the
blood and the scratches and your vision is beginning
to come back to you and you can now see so you're
no longer blinded yep great Okay, is there anything
else you want to do? Any bonus actions? Stupid
bird brain! And she's going to yell for the bird
brain, and she's going to look towards Rainer's
scream and cry for help, kind of seeing him being
devoured by a chicken. You see him sort of like,
you can see Copper Nickel. uh just on a brain
are like uh like almost waist deep in this uh
in this wheat field uh godar you don't see godar
anywhere is the birds still covered in acid uh
oh good question yes yes has any taking damage
um yes annie had taken damage she has taken damage
but she did not roll concentration If that is
a concentration spell. I believe it is. It is.
So go ahead and roll that now. And if you succeed,
that means Copernickel will take damage. How
do I roll for that? So d10. Roll a d20. Constitution
save. Yeah. Oh, that's it. Con save. All right.
I hate my dice. So for that con save, I rolled
a six. Okay. So we can say as Copper Nickel flew
through the field, like, the acid sort of just,
like, not washed away, but sort of, like, dissipated
in his flight towards the other two. Yep. Just
a quick thing. Yep. I just checked the spell
thing. It says that a creature covered... Each
creature in the line must succeed in the dexterity
saving throw. or until a creature uses its action
to scrape or washed acid off itself or another
creature okay so it doesn't cut it doesn't come
off even if she's failed they have to use an
action to remove it off them okay well it's a
concentration it disappears when the concentration
ends which is what just happened yeah okay cool
so we got that uh it is now the blood lettuce
turn furious at you annie and also furious at
the fact that Copernickel is once again away.
You just see him charge forward, yelling, and
he's yelling at you, Raynor. He's like, here's
mine! And he's running towards, and he's going
to go, and he's there amongst the both of you,
and he is going to roll two attacks, one at Copernickel,
and then one at you. Okay, so does a 16 hit your
AC? It does. Can someone double check the cycle?
Was it a D6 or a D4? One D4. Yep, okay, so I'll
just reroll that. It is a total of seven points
of damage on you, Rainer. Okay. And to Copper
Nickel. Copper Nickel is not looking good, guys.
Good. I didn't think he ever looked good. The
crowd is cheering and everybody's going wild
at this point. This is an intense fight indeed.
And over the sound system, whatever passes as
a sound system, the microphone, you all hear
a voice which is not DJ Schlipschlor. I do think
it is rather unfair that that one can fly and
the rest cannot. And you see, you see Coppernickel's
wings, the feathers, the ethereal feathers disappear
once more. And as he sort of, he's not exactly
above you, Raynor. But he's close enough that
he sort of like, as the things disappear, he
drops on you. So just give me a quick dexterity
saving throw. DC 10. With disadvantage? Not normal?
We'll just have it as normal. Cool. 13. Perfect.
So as you're getting scratched up on the face
and everything and... the glimpse, through the
glimpses of whatever you can see, you see the
feathers, the ethereal feathers sort of disappear.
And you feel him immediately drop on you and
you've like just pushed him off you as he sort
of rolls and he stands back up. And then he cries
out, you, I've already used my one. You've used
your two. I've used two. That's right. I've used
two. You bitch, he yells out. And he's like,
he aims at his gun towards the girl, the young
girl in that dress. And he fires his weapon to
that direction. And it goes straight towards
where it would have hit her straight square in
the head, right in the forehead, but the bubble.
Stops the bullet in itself. Gordar, it's your
turn. Bloodletter, if you wanted him, then why
don't you just kill him already? You hear him.
What do you think I'm trying to do, you bastards?
You spend half of your time attacking our own
team, you imbecile. I'll come to you next. I'd
like to see you try. He licks his lips. Once
again, pointer and uh ring finger as cast sorcerer's
burst towards um copper nickel yep total of 17
definitely hits give me an eight give me an eight
give me an eight that's an eight all right that's
an eight baby so that means that means with sorcerer's
burst if i roll an eight on the damage i get
to re -roll the dice and add it to that Go right
ahead. So if I roll another eight, I could get
him. Yeah, ramps up. Perfect. Come on, eight,
eight, eight, eight. One. I did one again. So
it's nine points of poison damage. All right.
So where do you hit him? Square on his center
mass once more? Just heading straight for center
mass. Okay. As you fire this sorceress burst
towards him, you see him hit him at the back.
And as it hits him towards the back, he turns
around and looks you, looks at you, Godar. He
raises his rifle and he aims it straight towards
you. There is a moment of silence within the
crowd at this point, waiting for him to take
the shot as he collapses. And as he collapses...
a crowd goes wild you see the old man sign changed
once more back to annie i love you annie annie's
gonna look to that old man and just say to him
like try to yell i can't yell right now but she
she's gonna yell to him put his name instead
and she's gonna point to goddard Can't hear you.
He's just going, what? And it looks like that
copper nickel is down. And you see a few guards
now coming out. The wheat field begin to descend
back into the ground. The earthy ground now shifts
and change back to sand. and everybody is cheering,
and you've all won. Thank goodness, finally.
I hate birds. Chickens don't count as birds.
They may as well have. Oh, my God. Annie's going
to run over to Copper Nickel's body. Mm -hmm.
And she's going to dig into his collar and try
and find the little stone needle thingy. Okay.
You need to do it quick. So you need to, because
guards are now approaching. Yep. So give me both
a stealth and investigation. So investigation
15 with a stealth of the stealth of let's say
15 as well. Okay. So for the stealth that. was
a 7, and for the investigation, that was an 18.
Okay, so you find the exact slot on where it
is, and you're fairly certain currently with
the tools that you have, you may be able to pry
it out. Maybe, but it is a very, very, it is
going to be very, very difficult considering
where you are. And how time sensitive it is because
the guards are approaching. So I am going to
give you, what role would that be? Because I
imagine you want to take it out? Yes. Okay. So
delicacy, not delicacy. Delicately wanting to
remove this. Need to be quick with your hands.
And it is very difficult. So give me a slight
of hand check with a DC of 20. Could I help with
this? Because they weren't very stealthy. You
can try to assist, but remember you are being,
well, her stealth was a seven. So you don't know
if whatever is happening can be seen. Oh, man.
Okay. Cool. Come on. D &D gods. You're... Okay,
so. Dang. How are you assisting her, Raynor?
I mean, it depends on how much I see. Perception.
So. Well, Copernicus is right there. You see
Annie right in front of you. And you do see two
guards approaching. Okay. What I'm going to do
is stand up kind of like in a little jumpy thing
as I kind of fix my jumpsuit. I'm going to look
at the crowd. And I'm going to be like, is this
what you guys wanted? Look at this as I kind
of go. Yeah, I'm just making a performance so
that the guards. We'll have a harder time concentrating.
I'll give you an advantage on that slider handshake,
so go ahead and give me another roll. Add advantage
or no? Just normal. You've already had an advantage,
so that's why you're rolling again. 11. 11, okay.
So, this is... You think you understand how the
mechanism works, but at this point where you
thought... when you had that understanding you
were wrong you were sorely wrong and there is
no way of with the current pressure that there
is no way of you popping out this uh this piece
of rod damn it the guard approach the two guards
approach and you see them pick up copper nickel
and they're dragging him away seems to find himself
once more as he's being dragged away. And he
sort of tries to struggle against the guard.
You see one of the guards have popped out that
little rod that you were trying to get from him.
And he's sort of twisting and turning. I'll get
you, Eddie. I'll get the three of you. Don't
you worry. I'm going to get out of here. And
I'm certainly going to get you three. As he's
being dragged. I swear on it! Please take your
time. Crowd is cheering. It looks like that they
have won. Oh, this might be the very end of this,
this game today. So head to the exits, return
to your cells or to your appropriate floors and
get the hell out. And then you see. Crowd now
beginning to return on where they need to go.
Guards, a multitude of guards redirecting all
these prisoners and everything is slowly being
emptied. From where you're standing, you can
see the young girl just standing, watching the
three of you. And you also see DJ Slipswarp standing
with her. Maybe you three give me a perception
check. Oh, perception. That's a 12 for Gordar.
12? Annie? That's a 4 for Annie. Raynor? It is
a 7. Okay. So the crowd begins to sort of dissipate
and return to where they need to go. You now
see a new guard, by the way, where you guys came
from. The guard previously that the blood letter
has dispatched is no longer there. And the blood
letter is eyeballing you, Godar. And he comes
real close to you. That was my kill. Well, you
took your sorry time. That's my... Fucking kill.
Ah, that was number four. If it was your kill,
you wouldn't be wasting your time attacking your
comrades. And we are not out of combat, folks.
He is going to go ahead and swing at you. You
see the guard that, the new guard? He's now approaching
the four of you. And as his guard's getting closer,
the blood letter is going to start doing his
dance towards you, and, like, a lot of the prisoners
have stopped. Oh, it ain't over! People are yelling
out. So the first one, it is a... Huh. Okay.
You rolled a one. So as he starts to spin and
dance, DJ Slipschlorp. That is enough. The game
has ended. And you see him bang down the microphone
onto the ground and it rings that high pitch
wide. It is almost. deafening at this point now
and it is piercing through your ears and as that
uh as that as the bang and clang happens from
the microphone you see the ethereal sickles just
disappear those the ethereal armor that he wears
is like no longer there you all find that all
your ethereal gear is no longer with you and
uh even your hat Your hat ran and it's not there
no more. And the bloodletter looks at you. Just
you wait. I'll get you. As he slowly walks away.
The guard now, this new guard, it is a minotaur.
He's towering at about eight feet tall. And he
has his little prison guard badge. He has his...
morning star and he stares at the ones who are
remaining and he just raises the morning star
and he points it towards the waiting room I guess
you can finally speak to your warden I do hope
so this has been a horrible day indeed it has
and Annie's gonna sadly look at her rotten wooden
stick of a prosthetic arm Yep, it is now back
to the... As you're all sort of like walking
towards the waiting room, as you each pass the
guard, you notice that he would stop you momentarily.
Same with the blood letter. And you see him pop
out that little piece of rod on each and every
one of you. I hate this feeling. I need to get
this whole thing sorted. I'm not even supposed
to be in here. You know, you feel like there's
something missing inside you. When that rod came
off, you feel empty. Don't worry, girls. Aw,
man, I just missed my hat. Anyway, it was a nice
hat. It's not as good as my normal hat, but your,
um, your hair? Hair snakes? Oh, the girls, yes.
Yeah. Are they meant to be doing that? They're
like asleep. At this point, because it'd be the
end of the minute, they would be, yeah, starting
to curl down. Um, yes, uh, it's, uh, you know,
they've been with me as long as I can remember.
You are, like, you're almost attuned to these
snakes of yours, and as soon as the little rod
had been removed, a lot of the snakes now, you
feel what they're feeling, and they feel rather
lethargic. Very, very tired, very minimal movement,
and almost in a state of toper. You all return
to the room. The gate shuts once more. And we're
going to take an ad break. Ad time! Arr, you
hankering for a new outfit? Can't find what you
need for that one important employment? Need
to be inconspicuous? Then come on down to Southshort
and look for me shack. We don't only have shirts.
We have pantaloons. We have socks, coats, shoes,
and all the shiny, tinkery things you could ever
need. And for the ladies, we haven't forgotten
about you. We have dresses and heels and handbags
galore. Are you concerned about the booty you
may lose? Then worry not, for we are always having
a grand sale. So what do you say, me hearties?
Come on down to Sailor Seamus' Seaside Shirt
Shack and get yourself a new look. and receive
your very own free shirt, courtesy of me, Seamus.
So you all make your way towards the waiting
room as each of those rods are removed from your
neck shackles or neck braces, and you find yourself
once more in the waiting room. You see that there
are a long... No longer is there the broken chairs
and... No longer is there the crappy wooden coffee
table. It seems that this waiting room in itself
has been completely rearranged. There is now
a sitting desk. Upon the sitting desk, there
are two chairs, and closer to you, you find that
there are four comfortable chairs. And you can
now see more guards in here, where earlier there
was only the one. There are now an additional
four more guards. So currently there are a total
of five guards in here. As you all enter, you
find that the Bloodletter has already taken a
seat on the chair. And the gate behind you closes.
And there is just silence in the room. And he's
going to sit down next to the blood letter. Okay,
so let's just say that the both of you have taken
the two middle seats. Oh. Okay, yeah, sure. Okay,
so now two free seats on each end. Raynor is
going to sit next to the blood letter because
he knows that Gordar is having a little bit of
a spat with him. And he's like, you stabbed me.
To the blood letter. You're lucky I didn't eat
you. He's just sort of like relaxed on his chair.
His arms are like covered in blood and dirt and
muck. And he's going to cough, admits the silence.
It is like cutting, what do you call it? Cutting
a blade through butter through this silence.
It is almost deafening. You hear the crowd outside
slowly. The noise slowly becomes nothing more
than hushed tones and murmurs until it's nothing.
The guards do not move. They are there, stand
still. Jadar, do you take the final seat? He
does. You both, oh, not you both, sorry. You
four wait on the seat. And which in abject silence.
And what seems to be an eternity, two minutes.
Five minutes. Ten minutes. And it is just silence.
Rainer is going to break that silence. And he's
going to be like, for someone who says that they're
going to beat and eat people and all he wants
all the bad guys. You haven't killed or shot
any of these people from before. I mean, the
bird guy, you didn't get him. And the guy before
that, those armor things, you didn't do that
either, did you? And he's going to look over
to Reina with just wide eyes, as if to say, what
the hell are you doing? I mean, Gordar got the
last one. He growls. He lunges towards you right
off the chair and he is going to try and bite
into you. Okay. This breaks out a whole full
brouhaha. This is an 18 verse AC. Okay, so he's
taking a chunk out of you. You're both on the
ground, and he's biting into your shoulder, and
you don't think, like, on how smart and clever
and wily you have been your whole life, you felt
pain, but nothing like this, nothing like another
person biting into you with razor sharp teeth
into your shoulder, and you can feel the blood
beginning to sort of, like, not... but beginning
to drip down onto you as the guards now spring
into action and separate the both of you. And
you can see one guard, one of the guards are
just holding you by two hands, like almost two
times your size. And two other guards have to
hold on to the blood letter and he is screaming
and yelling, I'll kill you! It's like blood is
dripping down. from his face, and as he's screaming,
the door opens. As DJ slipshwarp, the warden
slides in. What is happening here? Fighting with
amongst yourselves at sea? It's just this beast.
And behind him in tow is that... that young lady,
once again, in that dress. And you can see DJ
Schlipschlarp sort of slides across the ground.
And it is... Seeing him now in full, it's his
amorphous sort of form with that beholder skull
floating inside of him. His body almost changes
shape here and there to rotund and skinny as
he moves. His arms... Well, or what you can pass
as arms, or what he passes for arms. You can
see it drips and it globs as he slides towards
one of the chairs and he takes a seat, you presume.
It looks like he's taking a seat. And the young
girl just gently walks and also takes a seat.
That is certainly... One animal. And she sort
of tidies herself up. And DJ slips up. Let's
make sure that we keep that one in check. And
so the guards are now firmly, two of the guards
are now firmly holding onto him. That one can
take his seat once more. The guard lets go of
you, Raynor. Raynor kind of just... grips onto
his shoulder he's like just a question you with
uh pigtails um how old are you you will you will
not address me unless i address you please take
your seat okay cool you're old enough this that's
your one and then he just takes his seat oh my
god so you take your seat now We all know that
this game you garner a favor. Your favor of staying
here, you get one. So what is it that you desire?
Well, warden, I don't understand why I had to
go through that whole gauntlet to even get a
meeting with you. Do you know who I am? Do you
know my father? Do you mean the very same man
that threw you in here for the wolves to eat?
He did not throw me in here. I beg to differ,
little boy. I am innocent, and so is my father.
There was a misconception and misunderstanding.
His arm goes inside of himself. Ew. Pulls out
a clipboard. Other hand goes inside himself.
Comes out with glasses. What's up? Even though
he doesn't have eyes. And he's looking at the
clipboard. Yes, I have all the information on
you. And it seems to me that you are in the right
place. If you say what you say is true, then
dear old daddy used you as a scapegoat because
he is no longer in the city. What? No, they cannot
be. My father would not leave this city. Oh,
dear old daddy ain't here no more. You must be
mistaken. Go down. Unfortunately, he is telling
the truth. You now know who she is. And you've
been in certain circles with this young lady.
You haven't really interacted with her or spoken
with her in the past, but you most definitely
know that this is Glimmer Delacroix. Well, Madame
Delacroix, I still believe that you must be mistaken.
My father will not leave this city. Have it your
way. What is your favor? My favor is to get out
of this prison. I do not belong here. Ooh, I
am so sorry, Godard, but that is one favor we
cannot fulfill. You see... This is not a favor.
I am an innocent man. I should not be in here.
I'm sorry to say, but ain't nobody in here is
innocent. So, what else can I do for you as a
favor to make yourself far more comfortable than
you normally are? You only get one. Kind of.
Looks off into the distance, ignoring the conversation
now. And you, flip fingers, do you have anything
you'd like to make yourself a bit more comfortable
down here? My arm. Total order. Oh, Madame Delacroix,
is that something that we can do? I shall consider
it. And, uh, you. Yeah. The one that had the
fancy little hat on. Present. Out. Out. You are
absolutely filthy. What? Yeah, well, getting
bitten will do that to you. Uh, favorite, favorite.
So you said we can't escape? I mean, not escape,
get released early. That is out of the question.
You come in and nobody comes out. What would
you recommend as an abject authority on these
kind of things? A lot of people ask for a lot
of things. Some favors call for certain favors
for the outside to make a little... Some of the
people that they care and love comfortable. Some
people ask for a nice cushy place here. Have
a bit of control, have a bit of little slice
for themselves. Uh, Mr. Warden, I do have an
idea for this part. I see. Yes. I have watched
you perform quite well. And perhaps there is
a way that I can let you all out temporarily
would this something would this be amicable for
the four of you stretch your legs so to speak
when you say temporarily do you mean like in
what kind of time frame because temporary could
be temporary for like a lot of people but it
could be like a long time for other people You
get what I mean? Like, I live a long time. For
as long as I live, I can stay up. For as long
as you live. But you will be... You will be within
my services. Doing what? I cannot say just now,
but I need to show that this is something that
you are all interested... Interested in. And
you see the bloodletters struggling. Yeah, I
want in! And you see, you see her sort of just
look at the blood letter himself. Oh, so you
would like to go and enjoy a little bit of freedom
on a leash, is that right? Yes! And he's like
trying to break free from these two guards. And
at this point now, Raynor, do you notice that
Whatever power that DJ Shlipswarp has within
the confines of this prison does not seem to
matter to her. In fact, it seems like that she
has more power over him. Give him a shackle.
She yells out and another guard comes out. And
in this guard's hand, you can see the same sort
of shackle that you all have. You see this guard
now places, removes the original shackle from
the bloodletter, and now places the new one onto
him. This more or less does the same, but it
will keep you well under control. Monsieur Bloodletter,
was it? Yes. I will do anything. Yes, well, let
me just say... that your behavior and the way
that you performed was not to my liking. And
what I would like you to do is die. And she waves
her hand. And as she waves her hand, his head
explodes. Oh. Splat everywhere. I think I'm going
to throw up. Oh, Belle didn't. She pulls out
a wand. And she cleans you all up with prestidigitation.
Forgive me. How do we know you're not going to
do that to us? The only way that that will happen
to you is if you try to break away from the leash
that I have provided. So this is permanently
on us. Oui. What does we have to do with this?
I don't understand. It means yes. Oh. Monsieur
Goodall, I would recommend that you take this
deal as you will find yourself in here for a
very long time. Your father will not be coming.
And what I offer all of you is a chance to make
things a little better. Or, if you want something
a bit more personal, well, you are able to go
out, stretch your legs and not stuck in here.
At least you get to do what you'd like to do
outside for a minimal sort of stretch. And in
turn, you will be within my services and within
the city's services. So, we will be under your
employ? Well, employee would rather be would
assume that i would be paying you i will not
be paying you any gold whatsoever uh you either
spend your life here within the prison or you
can spend your life out there within my command
so where are your dogs yes quite aptly put madam
i just have one question if i may he kind of
like seems a little bit more um like he's trying
to like make her happy as he's kind of trying
to put on the he's like fixing his clothing even
though he's like he's got his arm kind of busted
he's like so all we need to do is just be useful
follow your commands is if sorry if i might i
just want to ask is there any opportunity of
getting a bigger leash obviously we would still
be under your You are a brave one. I like that
indeed. As she leans in a little closer, perhaps
you may garner a little more favor if you shop
that around. And she leans back down on her seat.
DJ slipswarp almost like very still. You look
at her and this young girl. She seemed like the
way she speaks, the way she carries herself,
is someone who not only knows what she's saying,
but there's a sense of maturity to her. But then
you look at her and, you know, mask withstanding,
she looks like she's 16. So you may garner some
particular favours from me if you continue that
little... a little dance that you are doing and
you can see a smile creep on her face oh um uh
gorda i think he had something to say it's kind
of like heavily breathing to himself um well
is this i don't understand Your father said that
he'd be getting me out of here any day now. I
shouldn't even be in here. I shouldn't do anything.
Go down. Allow me to put it this way. What if
I told you I can prove it to you that your father
has left? If he's gone, then I'm supposed to
stay here or to die or live under you as a servant?
What? This was not a life I'm supposed to have.
Fortunately for you, that is a card that you
have been dealt. So, you can stay here. I will
see that you are somewhat comfortable in here.
Not too much. You are in prison after all. You
are paying for your father's crimes. But if outside,
then maybe perhaps a little more comfortable.
You will not be stuck in a cell. So you will
have to work. What, um... What if I find my father?
Could he take my place? That is an interesting
proposition. What if I find you more useful than
your father? My father is a noble amongst his
lands. Yes, but it would appear to me that you
are far more skilled than he was. I am nothing
compared to my father. We shall see. Is this
a deal? I shall consider it. We'll see to your
father. He has left the city. From my understanding,
I am not entirely sure where he has traveled,
whether to Delos or the other major cities. I
do not know. You. The famous one in Fingales.
I have heard of you from my Brazil. I have heard
of you and what you did. Many have. And she points
towards the now headless bloodletter. Is that
a... Seeing over there, he has killed hundreds.
He has eaten so many women, children. Blood.
Yes, blood is on his hands. However, it would
appear that the weapons that he used are finally
crafted. And I understand that you are the maker?
Unfortunate. You are responsible for so many
deaths. With the weapons that you provided? I
profited from selling my wares. That is all.
You profit from misery. You profit from bloodshed.
The blood is on your hands just as much as theirs.
Sure. That is correct. That is blood money you
once had. Would you like to repent for your sins?
As long as it's nothing boring. Then perhaps
there is a way for you to give back to this city.
Tell me, Cecilia of you, what do you know of
the Expanse? What do we know of the Expanse,
DM? Everybody knows about the Expanse. If you
take a look at the lore section. Okay, time out.
Everyone do a quick read. The expanse, the former
lands of the dragon kind, formerly known as Metusia.
You are all aware of the war that has occurred
80 years ago. The land is riddled with magical
sickness of sorts. It has been closed off to
the rest of the world. But we feel that, well,
not we. My brother in particular feels it is
time, perhaps, to reclaim the land for the city.
And this is where the three of you will come
in. Just, sorry, sorry, master, if you wouldn't
mind. Oh, if you do not mind, it is mistress.
Sorry, mistress, okay, yeah. Have you, has your
brother... figured out the thing where those
who return end up with magic sickness and then
they die we do not know has that been sorted
too that's why we are sending you soy cool so
prison or death uh it has been theorized that
the that the magical sickness would not be as
strong but it would not be as strong so it is
in within theory it's still simply that you should
relative be okay okay kind of just lebrano just
kind of looks at the rest of the grid and he's
kind of like i i don't know what to do godel
i cannot promise you your father But there is
one particular thing that I can promise to the
three of you. If you are to succeed in this,
then... She looks towards the warden, unflinching.
If this thing could sweat, it is sweating beads.
And she looks back to the three of you. I solely
would like to keep you all as pets. However,
my brother has stated that if we are to succeed
in this, then you will have your freedom. Complete
freedom. Utter freedom. If you are to succeed
and do not die. How long? I do not think that
we have much of a choice. I haven't put this
thing on me. Your father has done you, how they
say, the dirty? Goddard just looks defeated and
is just looking at the ground. Do we have an
accord? Okay. I do. Is it two of you? Yes? Very
good. Mademoiselle, are you in agreeance to this
deal? I am. She snaps her fingers and the guard
return once more with three new shackles and
each and every one of you are given these uh
new shackles you still feel the same way stunted
and unable to do anything do not worry there
will be a time where you will not feel so happy
Myself and others will be able to grant you such
legal. Take your rest. I believe the warden has
prepared some lavish accommodations for you.
I shall meet you all in the morning. And we can
take a tour of the city, if you wish. One little
tour. If there are somewhere you wish to stop
by before we head out towards Metushia, you're
more than welcome to do so. Oh! One more thing.
She snaps her fingers once more, and three guards
come out, each with a small footlocker. and places
each footlocker in front of you. Annie, yours
is particularly larger than the rest of theirs.
These are for you. Annie grins and she hastily
walks to the locker that is presumably hers.
You don't need to walk. You're sitting right
there. She stands up hastily and opens the locker.
You find your old clothes, your effects that
was on you when you were arrested. And more importantly,
you find your arm. Oh, sweet thing. And she picks
it up. And she, like, she looks it over. She
tests the joints. She plays with the fingers
a little bit. She, like, she sort of cradles
it. And then she starts to smell it. It smells
like you. She starts, like, she starts to, like,
put it across her face and, like, really, sort
of weirdly intimate with it. She just, like,
cradles it. She goes, I've missed you. Do you
notice that it... Do you notice that it almost
has an age today? It's as if as how you left
it. Pristine, clean, and beautiful as you once
were. Oh, we're going to have so much fun. As
you open up yours, you find your effects from
when you were taken in, your fine robes, your
crystal. Everything is there in place on when
they took you away. The shaky hand picks up the
necklace that is in the center. Now that it is
the real version, you see like the circular outside,
which looks as if it's been hand -chiseled scale
patterns going around in like a forever circle.
And within the center, the... Not a valuable
gemstone. uh gemstone that is a slight greeny
yellow pretty ugly rough and not very uh yeah
it's not something like a diamond or anything
like special but he holds it in his two hands
and it very much stands out of place compared
to the little like fancy metallic um gold like
the wrist guards braces that he has and the fine
silken robes of uh beautiful coloration and he
just holds it tightly and towards his chest as
he just slightly whimpers okay raynor is also
gonna open his chest you find the effects that
you had uh your coveted hand so pristine and
beautiful as ever you can see your your raffles
and papers that you've used in scams and sorts.
You find your coin purse. In fact, you find within
your coin purse all accounted for the money that
you previously had from the last scam that you
were running before you were arrested. So quite
a hefty amount that's there. We are all on our
galleons. We will take flight tomorrow. We will
take a trip to the city and then slide to Matushia.
Rodium, prepare my womb and ensure that these
three are very much comfortable. She gets up,
she leaves, and that's where we're going to end
it. Hooray! Okay. Thank you very much for playing
and thank you all for listening. I'm Larry. I
was the DM. Thank you, Larry. And everybody say
goodbye. Goodbye. Goodnight, Mrs. Armonic, wherever
you are. Who? Table talk. Table talk. Table talk.
How are we all feeling? Fuck. My goodness. Well,
goodbye, Bloodletter. Don't have to worry about
him stabbing me in the back. That's nice. Yeah,
I was so... I was thinking to myself, is he going
to join us on all of these little expeditions
and all of these missions? Oh my god. I was contemplating
using my favor to kill him. I was like, Vayner
is very spiteful in that situation. That was
so good. The fact that he latched on to you and
bit you. was like oh yeah i was like yeah makes
sense all right first and foremost before anything
else can i please have a highlight from each
and every one of you starting with bella okay
i have to say i think the highlight for me personally
was just uh the blood letter and flint fingers
just kind of having that thing of acknowledgement
what acknowledgement do you think that they had
just like annie realizing like oh oh this is
the kid oh that moment yeah yeah because like
i feel like in her head i didn't really display
it well still getting used to it but in her head
she kind of i guess realized just how much time
has passed and she's, I guess, growing curious
as to what the blood letter, like, did. Like,
did he start blood lettering as soon as, you
know, he got those sickles, or did he, like,
take his time and do something else first and
then got it done? Well, now you'll never know.
Was he sick when he came to you? Was he, you
know, was he already fucked up when he came to
you? Or did he become fucked up along the way?
That's what I think, that's what Annie was thinking
as well. But I... find interesting with annie
i think now this whole i don't know how she's
taking it or you are taking it but the weight
of knowing that your creations have killed so
many right like despite annie saying this is
like i only provided what they do with the tools
is entirely up to them and yeah But now you see,
like, face -to -face, one of the effects of,
like, her creations. And one can even say that
she created them like that. What can someone
be saying? I don't think the tools make the killer.
The killer's already there. Exactly. Exactly.
All right. What's another highlight? man that
ending part of us just like trying to get the
most that we can out of it but obviously being
in the situation that we are we can't get a lot
from it so it's just like small chess where we
can and then kind of just it's better than nothing
because initially look a lot of the times a lot
of these games the favors that a lot of the winners
get are just having slightly more comfortability
within the prison. Or as DJ Slipswarp mentioned,
like, you know, doing some sort of small favor
within the outside, you know, ensure that my
loved ones get X amount of gold or whatever,
right? It's certain things like that. Like, you
all know that this prison is a place of permanency.
Once you're sent, no one. ever gets out there's
been no stories of anyone escaping this so in
the long -standing history of this prison as
far as the three of you know you were the first
to actually come out damn i did like that like
last moment as well with kadar like that struggle
that he was having in terms of well what if we
find my dad can we swap places And she had to
think of that. What if she finds you more useful
than your dad, you know? And that's why she's
like, that is something that I will need to consider.
It's fucking wild. He seemed so shaken up by
the fact that his dad is not in the city. Yeah,
I mean, he until, you know, and still now, still
thinks that he's innocent, his families are innocent.
This must be some kind of... It's, you know...
Yeah. Misunderstanding. Like, why would his father
be leaving the city? They're innocent. Why would
he do this? You know? Not revealing too much
on Godot's backstory, but would he be aware of
his father's dealings? He would know some things.
He wouldn't know everything. Because we talked
about his dealings. He wouldn't know everything.
Okay, cool. I don't think his father would trust
him enough. Okay. Yeah, that's a good point.
Okay. All right one more highlight When Gordar
destroyed a chest in front of Raynor Oh the barrel?
Yeah the barrels and then maybe just the barrels
trying to like come at Raynor and he just kept
dodging them. That's pretty good I thought that
was pretty fun. Just rolling back and forth.
I thought that was pretty cool. Yeah Obviously
the last bit was really fun too. I mean everyone
just having their own dilemma trying to figure
out how they would get around getting this information
from this what looks to be this person that's
making even the warden afraid. And she literally
just snapped her fingers and just killed the
guy who was like, yeah. A bit of context. Everyone
has heard of the Delacroix. They're one of the
most powerful families. They're one of the founding
families of the city, even though they have had
a poor reputation. They've had a very poor reputation.
So even a lot of the nobles do not try to associate
with Delacroix, but everybody knows who they
are, whether by name or by face. And Godard would
have had, you know, some meetings or like, you
know, within the same circle. of like oh i know
who that is he may not have met them he may not
have met either of um either her or the um the
brother um but he would you know it's that sort
of like um not famous but more infamy that they
have garnered over the years even though they're
one of the founding families i am more interested
in raynor so i need to talk to you a bit more
about your character and see what we can do like
is there's still a lot of uh gaps of um sort
of like feeling who you are and yeah so i have
some general ideas and i want to sort of like
bounce them off you and so we can get something
that's sort of um more entwined Much like these
two. So that's something definitely that we can
do. I loved bringing CopoDickle back. He obviously
is from our home game, which is the same world,
obviously. And the fact that now the both of
you, Bella and Rob, you know that he has been
arrested, but previously he had escaped. So how
he got arrested... Yeah, how he got arrested
is something that you both don't know and might
learn within the home game. So we can now also
say that the timeline is actually pretty close
as well to what has happened in the home game
in this one, which is something that I kind of
want. And I want to sort of like... Not essentially
intertwine the stories, right? But... Like certain
things that may have happened in this game, some
effects may happen in the other game and vice
versa. So I think it's going to be interesting
to see on how that's going to play out. And that
makes, as a DM, that makes me very, very, very
excited. But yes, I apologize to also as well
about the very poor French accent to at some
point turn German and then slightly back to French.
It's no, it's just a fantasy accent. Okay. It's
not a French accent. It's not a German accent.
We came to a conclusion that abyssal, like, is
almost French -like. And so those who speak Abyssal
heavily will have a French accent. Oh, jeez.
So that's why the Delacroix's do have a very
heavy French accent because they primarily speak
Abyssal to one another at home. But yes, is there
anything else that we can talk about in terms
of this session, this episode? I think it's going
to be very, very interesting now to see where
the three of you do decide on where you want
to go, where you get a little free roam within
the city. I'm looking forward to having a bit
more RP stuff, especially with the combat -heavy
first couple episodes. Yeah. Yeah, so I too am
very, very much excited for a little more RP.
Very burnt out on the combat. So... For you listeners
at home, combat is not my strongest suit. I'm
very much an RP player and also an RP DM. And...
You can sort of tell with the way he does accents.
You will take thy compliment. And you will accept
it. But I am very, very much excited to see where...
where the three of you are going to go and where
it's going to lead. I'm excited because the way
I frame my games and this one's a little more
reined in and a bit more on rails because it
is a show after all. But I'm still excited to
see what choices the three of you will make in
terms of your characters and what you would decide.
I'm looking forward to writing maybe some heavy
moral choices that you might have to go through
and considering the life that a few of you have
led. uh if it's something that you're either
going to struggle with or see if there's going
to be some sort of change within you i'm excited
i'm very very excited i'm excited for you to
torture oh there's gonna be plenty of that don't
you worry take a screenshot now of the artwork
and at the end of it we'll update with what how
tortured and mutilated our characters are yeah
yes yes i want to do that so badly we'll have
our own you're just going to be a cyborg it's
just a head to say at the end of this at the
end of this and he's going to be in a wheelchair
oh come on let's be honest it'd be a wheelchair
but at least you'd have two cannons mounted over
your shoulders oh yeah it'll be good with a button
that does everything like Johnny English where
you can just go down alright well I think that's
it for that we'll see if we can I'll try to come
up with a bit more for table talk maybe like
some lore intensive stuff like people are interested
in that and dive deep more into the lore within
the city and the world itself and also a bit
of still like some more questions for you guys,
lore related wise. And I think it's interesting
because not everything's going to be seen within
the game. So I think this is an interesting platform
for us to also like, maybe just not necessarily
reveal everything, but just show a little more
of each of your characters and to see more on
what it's like. So, yeah. All right. That's it
for now. Goodbye, everybody.
