[Music]
0:50
previously you all had traveled north to the dakir ruins where upon arriving you saw the decrepit
0:58
remains of what was once a town only the sturdiest of stone structures remained
1:03
the rest being overtaken by overgrowth trees and moss and vines
1:09
as you all approached you heard some voices begin to
1:14
to chime in as you moved closer and closer oma decided to hop onto a roof and inspect
1:21
where these voices were coming from and as she did she looked out into this
1:26
courtyard of what was once the town she looked out and saw
1:33
a number of people moving around a number of people in red cloaks moving around
1:40
she got back down from the roof and you all decided to move in closer and see what was happening and upon your
1:45
approach you all saw artemisia
1:51
you saw her standing in front of multiple pillars
1:57
five of them with long mirrors standing up against them
2:02
on her right she introduced a white tiefling and a black dragonborn as ilana
2:08
show and varys bragg of the hollow guard she introduced
2:14
to hari and kaiba shinzo imperiators of the united coalition of keng xi [Music]
2:21
she introduced a goliath man turk's stormpelt of the banuk tribe
2:28
she introduced a man with what seemed to be several different faces layered onto one another almost in
2:34
this transparent haze where you can't quite pick out the features as well as
2:40
a a being behind them with a glossy blue skin and a squid-like
2:45
face who she introduced as kodam vo of the
2:51
strata priyana and finally in the middle she introduced an old dwarven man
2:59
corvin amberstone of the order of the red wolf as they discussed
3:05
eventually all but corvin emberstone faded from these mirrors and eventually
3:11
even corvin himself faded after this conversation came to a close [Music]
3:17
after this you see caom artemisia turn around
3:24
she turns to the center of the town square where
3:30
this red tie fling resides as well as up on the ridge where this
3:35
half work resides and she looks up and she says amara
3:41
piros i think we're ready to begin [Music]
3:46
as she looks up the half orc who had responded to amara
3:53
and who you had once known as zergath responds to piros and begins to walk towards artemisia
4:01
as they walk closer to artemisia they stop at one of these boxes that you had seen
4:08
covered with cloth and as they rip off the cloth
4:14
you see a cage with two dwarven figures
4:20
inside huddled together a man and a woman
4:26
you see piros the tiefling walk over undo the lock of this cage
4:32
and reach in and grab the woman as the man begins shouting no take me no i please just take me instead
4:40
but they don't listen and they begin dragging this dwarven woman out of the cage
4:46
[Music] they drag her down the steps towards artemisia
4:53
down towards the pillars should we do something [Music]
4:59
what does it look like they're dragging this dwarf too like a two artemisia looks like okay
5:06
what do you want us to do i don't know but we can't just stand by and let this happen how many are there
5:12
can we see how many there are total how many what how many people there are down there
5:18
currently as all of the the images in the mirrors have dissipated you see caom
5:25
artemisia you see piros you see amara and this dwarven woman who they are
5:32
dragging down the steps oh i thought there were red cloaked figures at the tables oh there are as well yes there are five
5:38
cloaked figures but they're all five cloaked figures but they all seem to be in the back eight folks total
5:45
eight in total yes um in red cloaks and then two dwarfs and the two dwarves in
5:51
this one box yes and there's no way for us to make out what manner of being the people and the
5:57
cloaks are cloaked right correct upon further okay but they appear humanoid
6:02
they appear medium-sized humanoid um uh just right around five and a half to six
6:08
feet some variation between like each of their eyes what color would you say nope not giving you that
6:14
are there names um
6:24
[Music] we could probably do something they
6:30
throw the dwarven woman down onto the ground as her husband continues to scream this dark ritual seems
6:36
to be very delicately prepared perhaps cause a little
6:42
mayhem what if we draw them away and make our way pierce and zirgath take out a knife
6:49
quickly i have a bonus action some of my uh my bow okay and i'm gonna notch an arrow
6:54
and i'm gonna ready in action to shoot anyone that tries to harm
6:59
the dwarf that is now laying on the ground i will shoot an arrow at them if they try to approach and attack them
7:07
okay guys the hell are we doing
7:13
uh try you wrote a distraction zergath and piro's yes the rest of us up against their throat how many uh cages are up
7:21
there is this the only occasion there's two more there are four cages in total they just uncovered the one
7:28
and we are currently standing on top of a ruined building looking down at this yes you are currently standing
7:35
sort of up on a ridge looking down at this area
7:41
um how far would you say we are from them you are
7:46
yeah range will be good about 65 70 feet um does it look like
7:54
there's anything breakable if i were to shoot it with an arrow it would break it and make a noise make a perception check for me as you're
8:01
making that perception check the remainder of these red hooded figures go over to
8:08
the other boxes and begin removing the sheets from them
8:14
you see additional people in these boxes uh 12 perception
8:21
12. is there anything that i can shoot maybe break um you see you see a a small
8:27
glass lantern that you see but before you see that you see them uncover the last box
8:34
a single figure resides in that box oh boy in the box a half work with a broken
8:40
tooth and a green pauldron as you see
8:46
what up in that remaining box a complete loser
8:56
and i see that
9:01
guys we're doing it
9:06
can i float down to the there's a we're on a three-tiered cliff face right if i float down to the next one down can i do
9:13
that stealthily we still have pass without a trace on yes you would you would be able to try
9:18
i'm going to try because i need to get ashrae is doing that flynn you see the arm of puros and zergath
9:26
begin to tense in half a second they're going to swipe their knife and slit the throat what are
9:32
you doing i lose their hope okay so
9:37
[Music]
9:42
do i see that flynn is releasing an arrow you would be are you trying to hide this from
9:49
i'm just shooting uh i told them i was going to shoot if they looked like they were yeah
9:54
i see flynn going to launch his arrow and i don't want to be here when he launches it so
10:00
i am going to um grab kelly's robe and pull him with me and turn to the my left
10:05
and climb up the rock face that i see right there um to get to the next level
10:10
and i see that there's a wall of bricks from the previous ruins and i want to um
10:17
pull kellick over to hide behind those ruined walls okay um and even
10:22
though it is sort of a cliff not really a cliff face a rock face right next to you it is a couple feet up it is
10:27
definitely doable for both of you guys to climb and get to that wall um still within your movement speed and are there
10:33
are there hooded figures up here or no they're further too at this point the hooded figures have all moved down and
10:39
uncovered the boxes gotcha okay okay um okay yeah okay i don't think i can do
10:46
anything because i think flynn's all right glenn is letting this arrow loose i'm gonna have shraya oma and kellik roll me
10:52
a stealth check great and then i'm also having everyone after that roll initiative but it's um we're still past
10:59
without trace right you are still passed without a trace yes i have a question when i lose this arrow we are currently
11:04
not noticed so is it a surprise you all get a surprise round so is this
11:09
right here i'm giving all of you a surprise oh thank you [Music]
11:19
[Music]
11:27
[Music]
11:39
here we go yes yeah and yes amara is that work okay that's good
11:46
i have a 35 for your stuff for my stealth i got a 32 for stealth okay
11:54
just stealth right now right yes so that's the 28 for stealth 28. okay even though flynn has shot an arrow at
12:01
them um you feel as though your exact location has not been compromised right and once we separate though we lose pass
12:07
without a trace because we have to be it's a distance so once we move away from him okay
12:13
at the beginning when we started this i guess okay 21. 21 to hit
12:18
um that that hits yeah roll your damage
12:24
okay here we go uh that is seven points of piercing because they are punches
12:32
seven points of piercing lean into my castle as this arrow flies through the air you see and while most of his body
12:40
is still that of what you had seen as zergath you note once again this bulging
12:45
tricep shoulder and bicep on the left side as they're about to slit the throat the
12:52
arrow sinks into that shoulder no more than an inch into this dense
12:57
muscle that's there okay i'm gonna have everyone roll initiative
13:02
oh two attacks or no because that's like do i get my normal attack action yes do i lose another one
13:08
you would be able to let off another one in this is this advised as well am i still surprised
13:14
[Music] it can be a reaction
13:20
you held your action so i'm going to say for flynn that is his turn in the surprise round no
13:25
problem everyone else can i get your initiatives um kellick seven
13:32
that's good yeah yeah seven homer seventeen seventeen
13:37
okay who wants to go for who's uh got a higher dexterity oh i have plus three
13:44
uh i have a i have a plus three two
13:50
um okay you guys get to decide go ahead odds or evens
13:55
oh uh well who rolled higher
14:08
so you would have come first in the initiative anyways okay
14:13
strace your surprise round what are you doing oh my goodness um
14:19
where do i see any natural uh you said there's lanterns is there only one where do i see lantern you see one lantern on
14:25
each of the tables so you see one there's a table right in front of you there's a table sort of your to your left and then there's one all the way on
14:31
the other side on the table on the other rise right across this courtyard [Music]
14:40
they're all currently lit as it is at this point nighttime [Music]
14:51
that tree that's opposite us on the other side of the um circle
14:57
nope sorry the fallen free branch like the oak um how far is that for me
15:02
that is gonna be
15:09
[Music]
15:15
exactly 120 feet then yes i would like to let loose a
15:21
firebolt um as a surprise so that they are just hopefully confused as to where things are coming from okay um i want to
15:29
kind of distract okay it is a very large chunk of tree so i'm not even gonna have
15:35
you make an attack roll oh okay you just you just hit it and as a part of that
15:41
spell anything that is hit that is flammable catches on fire is that correct uh that
15:46
i believe is correct uh ignites if it isn't being worn a flammable object hit by this spell
15:52
ignites if it isn't being worn or carried okay as this this tree
15:58
uh unites ignites can i roll do you want me to roll for damage or not
16:04
i will have your roll for damage yes okay that's ten points of fire damage okay
16:11
ten points um it is a a pretty big chunk of tree so while it is on fire it is not
16:18
completely decimated you you get it's probably going to be burning for at least a couple minutes yay okay next up
16:25
in the initiative shraya you just floated down to this this bottom level what are you doing can i can i say that
16:31
i didn't float to the ground that i'm in a in a tree one of the trees that's springing up from yeah yeah
16:37
when i when i planted myself in this tree uh i'm reaching out from behind the
16:42
leaves and uh as my staff slowly emerges from the leaves between the
16:49
trees uh i slow like i i take her deep breath and i blow out
16:56
into the crystal and as i do the crystal turns to fire
17:01
and that fire slowly sparks and grows as right where artemisia is
17:08
a similar ball of fire sparks grows as i cast flaming spear
17:14
right on top of her oh okay is that a saving throw from her
17:19
what what is that going to be uh yeah that is a deck saving throw from her a dexterity saving throw from artemisia
17:25
yes let's see
17:32
okay we're just we're just casting flame speeds
17:37
i have like ill that's going to be a dirty 20 from artemisia and uh yeah she
17:44
saves on that one so that's going to be half of
17:50
that's four points of fire down four points of fire damage yeah okay as it singes does it stay there
17:56
uh like here or does it or is uh i can move it's gonna stay it's gonna
18:01
remain there for like 10 minutes uh so at the end of my turn uh well yeah because this is gonna be my turn um
18:08
bonus action i'm gonna move the sphere uh oh i'm so sorry if this was a
18:13
surprise round is she a disadvantage for that she is hey
18:18
all right rules and stuff good job i actually forgot about this that's still going to be 17 yeah
18:32
yeah uh all right so as as my bonus action i'm gonna move the sphere just
18:39
toward the center of this like central area so up the steps
18:46
up the stone steps you're just gonna see it gliding about 15 feet upward okay yes that is my
18:52
turn for sure kellick you are up on the ridge with alma what
18:59
are you doing okay so there's a tree on fire yeah there's a flaming sphere correct there's an arrow in
19:06
the pier piros puros [Music]
19:14
what an entrance yeah really just just a mess all right uh in this
19:19
instant and it's a surprise round so tell me how you tell me how you roll on this can i see how they've responded so
19:25
far like what their reaction is besides just like this instant this is all happening all at once they have had no
19:30
reaction yet
19:35
we'll get to it who um somebody left with the specific the
19:40
explicit purpose of uh going after kale drum wind who was that do i
19:46
you remember in their conversation right or the hollow guard the hollow guard um ilana show and varys broad were tasked
19:52
with retrieving him yes and they immediately went away yes and they were in the mirror they disappeared well
19:58
i'm gonna be a real [ __ ] here sorry fam but do what you gotta do i'm gonna
20:05
grab kale drum wins tether pull it to my heart cast sending sorry i think today that's gonna be down
20:11
that's a great idea just gotta get this out of the way yep
20:16
[Music]
20:24
a black dragon born and white tiefling are coming for you flee
20:29
now whatever means necessary um and as
20:34
immediately you hear back rockin [Laughter]
20:42
oh my god okay thank you for the heads up um honey get the kids and
20:51
[Music]
20:59
get that embroidered on a pillow how do you get the kitchen top of the initiative flynn what are you
21:05
doing um so i've just shot an arrow into uh this thing that looks familiar to me
21:11
for being in the iron light um i'm gonna slowly continue i'm gonna start walking forward around down this path um just it
21:18
leads towards the cage where i see a familiar half work yes it does start walking towards that way um
21:25
and as i look at the female dwarf how is she what has happened so far
21:30
has he loosened his grip with the knife um um he has not yet okay he seemed
21:36
distracted for a moment by your arrow it is yet to be determined what he's gonna do does the female dwarf uh
21:42
bear any resemblance to any dwarfs that i know they do not no okay
21:48
maybe it gives me other than a reminder in the fact that they are a door okay um as i see this i i have flashes too uh
21:57
female that i know and uh you know in a rage i will uh draw another
22:02
another put her down now and i'll fire two more arrows at this at this okay make some
22:08
attack rolls
22:14
we're no longer surprised unfortunately the first round of combat everyone i'm alone at least aware of
22:20
what's going on now well they're aware of flynn yeah so what are those attack roles
22:29
that is a 14 14 does not hit okay and next one as
22:36
the arrow whizzes by their shoulder [Music] 22 22 hits
22:42
or the same one that's holding okay that is deep into their back another seven
22:47
points of piercing another seven points okay um and then i will uh continue uh i
22:53
was trying to get to the cage um as i'm moving i'm keeping an eye on the dwarf and the tiefling that are there but i'm
22:59
moving towards the cage okay uh you can get about 10 feet away and i'm just saying myself
23:04
he'll help he'll help i'll go help he won't be mad all right um
23:10
next up artemisia looks up at flynn i don't want that
23:17
without even saying a word she commands the attention of everyone in
23:23
this in this arena all of her forces and just gives a subtle nod a subtle motion
23:30
towards flynn as all of these figures in the hoods immediately snap their attention towards
23:35
flynn including the teepling and the half orc okay that's good that's good that's what i want i know
23:41
okay you know you know
23:47
as she moves her hands around and she speaks a little incantation
23:53
she's going to cast a lightning bolt [Music] okay
23:58
i'm assuming yes at you yes i'm gonna have you make a dexterity saving throw you know
24:05
do i have advantage any reason so
24:11
rolling bad it's not not that good it is a eight
24:19
[Music] eight does not save oh um very much does not save as you take
24:27
18 points of lightning damage okay i will uh as i see that as it's charging up going to and the lightning board
24:33
brushes out towards me i raise my hand in a fist and cast absorb elements yep as the cat races blows and i absorb some
24:39
of that energy into my hand and you see that uh the actuation
24:45
sigil glows and then also my weapon vigil starts to glow a deep blue
24:50
okay and i look at her and stare at her all right and as she casts this she sort of
24:56
took a side step out from the rest of her party as this lightning bolt shoots towards you and creates this pinpoint
25:03
line directly at you through you and beyond you as alma and kellick you see this lightning bolt like whiz right past
25:10
your shoulder um just missing you so that's uh nine points right that is nine points yes
25:15
that's um is that that was artemisia's lightning bolt that was artemisia's lightning bolt
25:21
can i tell where this lightning bolt is coming does this look like the magic
25:26
of familiar that's my question a religion checker
25:33
okay my religion is quite good uh 15. 15. um
25:39
lightning is a pretty universal element you can't detect where it came from you know uh certain clerics of
25:46
familiar have used it um although it is not a widely practiced spell okay okay
25:53
you are just not sure alma what are you doing my tree's on fire your tree is on fire
26:00
is anyone looking at it currently everyone's attention seems to be on flynn as he's stepping out from
26:06
the trees [Music]
26:18
i'm going to look at the um
26:26
does zorkhall look like he's like raring for some action like does he look
26:32
like he could help at all if he were not in a box would you like to take an
26:38
action to determine this or are you just taking a glance just take it a glance um first glance he looks exhausted and beat
26:44
up you're not sure the extent you don't know but he's not lying down he's not lying down he's sort of sitting up and
26:50
the boxes are wooden boxes they are wooden on the top and the bottom and then they have metal bars going around cool i am gonna throw a
26:57
fire bolt at the top of his box okay to
27:05
let him out of his box okay um
27:11
i'm trying sorry i don't want to hurt you i want to say that though because i don't want to reveal myself
27:20
um that's 11 points of fire damage 11 points i am also going to
27:25
have you make a stealth check for me at disadvantage because you just cast a spell
27:31
am i within 30 feet of trial
27:36
you yes you are
27:45
very good don't say i never did anything for you
27:51
we would never i would never say that so it is at disadvantage but you do still get the uh
27:57
the bonus of the ten yes i'm trying to sorry i'm struggling here
28:03
i don't want to use that one no i i need a d20 but i don't want to
28:10
use a metal one because then it'll feel weird against this one oh okay yeah but you don't want to use one of these no
28:16
those are evil they're not they're not
28:21
one of them's good yeah um dirty 20. oh wait sorry dirty 26. nice
28:27
okay you still feel that you are relatively uh hidden all right um
28:33
as you cast this spell the wood on the top of the box completely breaks out
28:38
um and some actually falls on zorkhall sorry um only dealing him
28:45
[Music] two points of fire damage hopefully that's not enough to he only had two hpf
28:50
no uh no it doesn't seem like it'd be enough to knock him out just a little inconvenience as he sort of brushes the
28:56
ashes off of him moment shraya what are you doing uh i'm just gonna go ahead and get the bonus action out of the way first i'm
29:02
moving the flaming sphere up toward the uh cage that is closest to
29:08
it in the same manner that omar just lit the top on fire i'm going to bring it as i as i move the crystal uh
29:15
with uh with the energy between my hand you see me moving the flaming sphere
29:22
it's mimicking the direction that my hand is moving with the top of my staff uh as i light the top of that on fire uh
29:28
we can reconcile that first if you want yeah yeah why don't you why don't you cast the damage
29:34
on that set them free and yeah
29:39
uh so that's six points of uh flaming damage okay yeah the uh
29:45
it it uh completely breaks the top of the wooden box but it isn't enough damage to like make it explode um it
29:51
just sort of uh burns away and does not damage the occupant great so that's my
29:56
bonus action as i look over at flynn from my uh perch and i'm i'm attempting to do all of this
30:02
stealthily by the way uh does he look does he look damaged does he look like
30:08
that anything hit him and did anything to him uh so you saw when the lightning bolt hit me i
30:15
rose my hand and it um deflected some of the blow and absorbed some of it um but i'm i'm looking hell bent i'm just
30:21
staring at this uh female dwarf and the teeth i don't seem phased by it okay great uh in that case i am going to
30:29
uh dodge my s hide and like take dodge as my action
30:34
uh okay that's gonna be my turn okay you take the dodge action um all right
30:40
next up what do i need stealth do i need to roll stealth for anything after cast
30:46
oh yes i'm gonna have you roll a stealth check for me right did you have to cast it again
30:52
the the sphere did you have to cast it no no i just moved it bonus action to move just bonus action to move it's not
30:58
an actual casting of anything so just be a straight role you didn't um actually yeah cast
31:04
anything nothing emanating moved something all right nice uh
31:10
26. okay you remain very well hidden plus you took the dodge action so you're very
31:15
confident nothing's probably gonna hit you okay next up
31:21
zergath and piros they rotate around looking directly at
31:27
flynn with this dwarf still in their grasp they're going to take one of their
31:33
actions to slit the throat of this dwarf
31:38
[Music] dealing 10 points of damage which is enough to make the dwarf fall down to the
31:45
ground as blood spurts from their neck dead
31:50
that is their first attack second attack they're gonna pull a another knife out
31:57
from behind their back just in a very similar fashion that you had seen before and they're gonna throw it directly at
32:04
flynn it's gonna be a 14 to hit uh that misses
32:09
okay the knife whizzes right by you and impales itself deep into the rock right
32:15
behind you next up amara amara is going to
32:22
cast amar is going to cast mage armor on herself
32:30
as you see a shimmer appear around her form [Music]
32:40
and as she does that she is gonna take a couple of steps back towards the pillars
32:47
that is gonna be her turn next up kellic
32:53
the dwarf is is there any vestige of life in this dwarf that i can see
32:58
that has been make a medicine check okay maybe spare the dying might be able to save if you do it fast enough yeah
33:03
that's the goal natural 20. natural 28. you know for a fact um that slitting
33:10
someone's throat they have just a couple of moments before complete death
33:17
okay and how far am i from this you are currently
33:28
exactly 60 feet 60 feet okay uh
33:34
cut me out here i'm going to burn a divine ember and i'm going to cast
33:40
uh uh um spare the dying [Music]
33:46
and keep this uh keep this dwarf from death's door
33:54
what does that do is that uh stabilized doubles the range of my uh casting okay and so uh if i i'm within 60 feet you
34:02
are with it just within 60 feet i'm gonna use it and yeah it stabilizes uh a living creature that has zero hit points
34:08
becomes stable uh spells no effect on undead or contracts yeah okay um
34:14
you no longer see the blood gushing from their throat as they are face down um
34:19
you feel confident that you have stabilized them also in yelling that spell you have completely given up
34:25
absolutely as i'm doing this i'm i'm i'm moving forward you know he's there i'm moving forward as i'm doing this to not expose
34:32
all them for that okay you are currently directly on the ledge um overlooking this entire area
34:38
and then actually that was my canned trip so as a bonus action
34:44
interfacium net core i'm gonna uh uh pull the rift open and
34:49
summon a spiritual weapon at the second level
34:55
okay uh are you messing around no [ __ ] all this
35:01
and that uh i'm gonna pull that up right next to artemisia wherever she is okay what is that spiritual weapon uh it is a
35:07
a this uh this tear in the in the fabric of the universe pulls open uh as uh you
35:13
can see within the tear is this silvery blue uh uh specks of dust that as they're exiting
35:20
become these burning embers amazing you've trespassed against the light for
35:26
the last time
35:39
so i'm gonna make an attack with it as this rift is pulling open of course it's a critical fail
35:45
okay so this this dagger flies out from this uh
35:51
thing and and misses whiffs miserably it looks cool though yeah
36:02
you look as all of these red wolf acolytes turn to their cages that
36:07
they're standing next to and you see them all in unison cast a spell
36:14
as no let me do a couple of rolls here [Music]
36:19
that is a fail or the first one there's a failure for the second one
36:26
that is a success for zorkhall hey get your butt absorbed at least there's
36:33
that right and that is also a failure for the other one so all of them fail as all of a
36:38
sudden except for resort call as you see they are all um rattling on these cages and bumping the
36:45
boxes trying to get out their bodies freeze up and lock as all of these acolytes simultaneously cast a whole
36:52
person
37:06
just start running straight towards the because i don't know what happened i'm running towards the dwarf that got her throat slit okay
37:14
so are you dashing there i think you might need to down um
37:19
yeah uh yeah i'm gonna stand right over her body you would need to dash just to get there we're in the action um as i as
37:26
i get close uh and as my turn's ending i drop the bow some of my sword and just
37:32
as i stand over the dwarf and the electricity blue glow from my sigil
37:37
fades i i hold my blade up towards this thing
37:42
[Music] your fight is with me [Music]
37:48
and he looks back down at you yeah it seems like it is now um really quick would i would have been
37:54
able to just look and see that she's not bleeding out uh yeah so at that point as you as you
38:00
look over her body you can just see a very gentle rise and fall of breathing still unconscious so seeing that then i noticed that she's okay i will look up
38:06
and say okay next up artemisia looks to the side where this tear has just opened
38:13
and then she looks back up at the ridge up a kellik and she sort of [ __ ] her head to the side she says
38:19
ah kellich my little khaji i thought i sent you off to die [Music] as you see her expand her hands out as
38:27
this flowing green energy expands between them and all of you as you're
38:32
moving around and casting these spells you all feel your body begin to slow
38:38
shraya you look around at the trees as the leaves begin to slow
38:44
and the wind moving around begins to stop and come to a standstill everyone
38:49
no even if she doesn't see us even if she doesn't see you what did she do everyone completely locks up as she
38:56
casts time stop she knows
39:11
guys i don't have any level three spell slots so i don't have i don't have um i i unfortunately don't have um
39:19
counter spell right now it's okay and now it would be a really good time to have counters yeah i used
39:25
all my shoes rolled a two on time stop okay so she gets an additional
39:31
three rounds of combat while you all are frozen yeah are the uh and is everyone even the
39:37
enemies frozen everywhere okay okay at least it's not all of them get to attack us everyone
39:42
she's gonna first cast mage armor on herself make sense
39:48
next you see her moving her hands around as her feet lift up from the ground
39:55
as she begins to float 5 10 15 feet up in the air as she casts fly
40:01
on herself and she continues to cast and speak whispers into her hands as all of a
40:08
sudden a ball of shimmering light apparates around her as she casts
40:14
globe of invulnerability on herself of course she does that's fine
40:20
you do that pretty sure none of these spells are allowed unfortunately that is hard i mean how
40:27
many spell slash does she have she just wasted like three of us yeah she's probably done she probably doesn't have that many i mean i'll be good
40:33
oma what would you like to do do we know what globe of invulnerability does
40:40
everyone can make an arcana check okay yeah i'd like i don't think i need to make a check she's surrounded by a
40:45
globe i think i'm just gonna assume i've never seen any yeah i'm gonna just
40:50
assume that i can't really get through that [Music] it's a shield of some sort i mean
40:56
probably what about 21. does it look similar to my shield spell it looks like an observation
41:03
uh yeah it looks absoration yeah yeah okay it looks like some sort of protection but i don't see this until
41:09
i'm done being stopped [Music] i think that's that's all that you would
41:15
be able to do would be able to get yeah kellick might be able to to pinpoint this exactly if
41:21
you will you would not know yeah okay okay
41:29
next up oma yeah next up
41:36
what's all am i doing um i'm gonna creep forward i guess to the
41:43
table creep forward you know still to the um i'm going to move to the left um kind of
41:50
towards like the middle of the table um okay i'm going to
41:56
[Music] does zoro call look like he's gonna get
42:01
out of his box at this point he looks like he has the ability and he looks like he might be
42:07
about yes great so the acolyte that's in front of him
42:12
i'm going to um all under the table okay
42:18
um look down at my hands and put them together
42:24
and close my eyes really tight and rub them and as i pull them apart i'm going
42:29
to pull um my shadow blade back into existence
42:35
so as i pull my hands apart you're going to see just the like dark black bloom
42:41
circling and circling until my hands are about two feet apart and in those two
42:47
feet there are is now a solidifying blade
42:53
and that is a spell yes that is so you have to beat a five oh no
43:00
yeah like duck [Music] eight and eight okay oh boy you're good the amount of times you've barely beaten
43:07
the number how many times um and i'm going to throw it at number
43:13
at the at the at the i'm gonna i'm gonna um grab the um hilt of the
43:21
um like black shadowy sword which um as it's solidified there's still like
43:26
like basically like black smoke coming off of it um endlessly
43:31
i'm gonna grab the hilt with two hands pull it back behind my head and launch it at the um
43:37
acolyte visor call okay make an attack roll yeah
43:43
yeah oh man that's 14 a 14 hits
43:50
nice um okay that is
43:56
um psychic damage
44:01
[Music] 11 points of psychic damage
44:06
nice and after i loose it i'm going to crawl back under the table
44:12
okay um i'm going to have you make a stealth check at disadvantage oh nice am i still within 30 feet of shraya
44:19
um i will say i think you are no longer within 30. okay i think that it's gone
44:24
anyway because he has flaming spears that concentration yeah okay oh it's gone anyways okay okay gotcha
44:32
that doesn't matter that is an 11.
44:39
okay um you're hidden under the table that was that i used a bonus action
44:46
spell so you used and then i used an action
44:53
[Music]
44:59
um let's see kellick you would definitely be able to see this as alma like retreated back
45:06
under the table but you would see um this this red wolf acolyte um
45:11
be stabbed directly in the back by this sword and drop down and take a knee as
45:17
all of a sudden this black ink just begins pouring out of his nose and his mouth um he looks like he is
45:24
on death's doorstep but not quite wow
45:29
all right that's awesome tria
45:35
uh i'm going to move the uh the flaming sphere
45:40
uh into touch uh the acolyte uh on the opposite side okay of zorkhall
45:47
uh and that is the saving throw from that acolyte what kind of uh saving throw a dexter
45:53
yes let's see um that's uh just a straight up 16.
45:59
i think yeah that that saves fairly um still takes half damage though
46:05
three points blaming damage okay uh and it's a bonus action to move
46:10
it um so i am then going to
46:16
[Music] uh crane my neck uh in the direction of kellog
46:21
oh no you can't do two bonus actions [Music]
46:27
in that case um i'm going to look around and see do i see any uh
46:33
animals in this wood [Music] yes make a nature check
46:52
correct nature yeah that case [Applause]
46:57
it's very shocking to me that's a seven uh seven it's not a perception
47:02
it would be a nature challenge to it because you would need to know where certain animals are right and all that okay so um no you look
47:09
around it seems in the commotion even the birds have flown away um squirrels have scattered you can't see
47:16
anything around you right all right is that your turn no i'm going to use action
47:23
lift the javelin up yeah yes you okay and i'm going to hurl it
47:29
at the acolyte right next to zerga
47:34
your call excuse me hey okay as i say eldorium may my aim be
47:40
true and i hurl it forward
47:46
that attack roll is going to be ah who in a row
48:01
um that will be three points of piercing damage yeah
48:07
as this acolyte has dropped down to his knees black ink is flowing from his nose
48:12
and his mouth as he's coughing it up and trying to get this out of his lungs a spear drives directly through
48:24
i'll set him up you knock him down that is my turn all right um next up is zergath
48:32
um so having flynn directly there in front of him what's up um he's gonna use his
48:38
bonus action to reach his hand up into the air as you see sparks of red flame emanate from his
48:44
hands as right below him right in front of his feet a
48:49
tear a crack in space kind of similar to to calyx a tear or rip into space but where calyx
48:57
is blue his is this infernal fiery red and he drives his hand down into the
49:02
ground and as a bonus action he summons his mom we remember that that's cool
49:09
he's gonna take one step forward and he is going to make a couple of attacks
49:16
at flynn i am like right over if i could share the space with the dwarf on the ground would i be able to just stand over her
49:22
body and protect her because yeah yeah you still have lightning i don't know
49:28
i wanted to get up there okay zergath is making these attacks
49:34
i do have now that i have my sword i have my shield out yeah okay packed it up [Music]
49:40
that first one it's gonna be a 25 to hit
49:46
oh that hits the hits even with it okay that is gonna be
49:52
okay it'll be all right 16 bludgeoning
49:57
[Music]
50:03
[Music] as he uses the momentum of this first swing to whip it over his head and come
50:10
around for a second swing okay that's gonna be a 14 to hit miss okay
50:16
okay oh geez [Music]
50:22
okay um do you get second win back after sleepy time
50:28
next up amara she
50:34
real quick check her passive perception [Music] oh yeah okay she just saw a spear
50:41
fly out from these trees over here so she is going to take her movement
50:49
to move closer towards the trees over towards shraya and
50:54
as shraya is sort of up in the trees still you're a little bit obscured and she can't quite pinpoint you
51:02
so she's gonna cast circle of death oh geez okay
51:08
and she's going to pick a point in this tree line [Music]
51:15
it's going to be a little bit away from you but it is still going to capture you great it is a 60-foot sphere oh my
51:22
goodness [Music] it's a very deathly does that also
51:28
impact her her acolyte that would impact her acolyte oh nice okay well there's that
51:35
[Music] and does it have an effect on on cages
51:40
that's also within it um does it decay the cage
51:45
the cage we'll see we'll see try shreya i'm gonna have you make a constitution saving through yeah for the
51:52
acolyte as well and for the kh for the yeah uh constitution great
51:58
um the acolyte fails i failed too that's ten oh no yep
52:04
okay that is going to be oh man that is going to be 29 points of
52:11
necrotic damage wow 29
52:16
it's like most of my life force just like slowly peters out of my mind as you as you feel from a point a little bit
52:23
away from you but but still close enough this wave of negative energy take over your body
52:28
as this acolyte completely withers away to dust
52:35
and like he was never even there perishes nice does the cage like
52:41
disintegrate on the side or something um the cage does not okay it does not
52:47
[Music]
52:53
my my bandaged hand is like fully uh uh
53:02
what's the word um it's wet with flames it is it is this
53:08
like dripping uh ashen embering thing where the the bandages are are still there but they're
53:14
just they're just barely sort of uh you can see the the light and fire from
53:19
it just kind of uh uh eeking out through the leaking out rather through the edges of the bandages and and and and falling
53:27
and spraying about uh like dust in a sandstorm and uh
53:33
my hand twitches toward artemisia and i glow at her and then i turn my gaze to shraya
53:40
and i'm going to uh move over to him
53:45
how close i'm going to hop down on this leg i'm going to hop down i'm going to go i'm going to run i'm going to slide down this ledge and then slide down the
53:52
next ledge i think as well there's one i can reach him yeah and then i'm going to apply a healer's kit to shred nice okay
53:59
nice so that's not a spell that's just a that's a thing just a healing kiss the
54:05
healing kit wow okay yep i'm gonna restore 1d6 plus 4 to you
54:13
and it also uh gets hp equal to your maximum number of hit dice so whatever how many hit
54:19
dice you have also gets added to that uh it's six points of healing plus that
54:25
uh plus my total like i can roll number of hit dives how many no you don't work okay so that's plus eight
54:31
yep so six plus eight uh four fourteen fourteen fourteen back
54:38
and then i'm i'm doing this and as i'm administering this i'm also going to cast feeling word
54:45
okay oh nice double down uh
54:50
so that's um six six additional points of healing from the healing word
54:57
[Music] as this yawn of just like pained relief just washes over my body
55:03
as i receive this energy and i'll kind of like stabilize strya put my arm on his shoulder and turn and look toward
55:09
his aggressor uh and just like sort of ready the the two of us as we face down this this
55:16
particular foe okay um next up
55:21
these two acolytes um uh the furthest one is gonna
55:27
try and walk away from this this uh sphere that shrai has got um
55:34
and they're going to walk over towards the middle of the steps [Music]
55:40
they're going to look down at flynn what are you going to do huh what are you going to do no you don't you don't want it
55:46
you got so he's gonna walk towards the center of the stairs
55:52
look down at flynn and cast sacred flame um flynn i'm gonna need you to roll a
55:58
dexterity saving throw got it
56:07
[Music] yeah a 16 definitely okay
56:14
do i take any damage so you take sacred flame you don't take anything oh yeah if you succeed you don't take any
56:20
damage yeah okay the next acolyte
56:26
is going to uh he's going to run around the steps on the grass and he's going to do the same thing
56:31
towards flynn that's going to be another deck saving throw
56:37
lower um i think well hold on
56:50
um you just dodged out of the way of these sacred flames flynn you get a response what are you
56:55
doing uh so i would imagine that um the way i'm thinking of this in my head is i get beaten down with a maul as these two
57:02
sacred flames miss because i'm beaten down to the ground of one knee [Music]
57:08
and as i as i slowly stand up i um calm my breathing
57:15
and look up to the t-fling uh okay second wind we gained some hit points
57:23
okay that's 16. okay [Music]
57:28
your model is pretty cool [Music] my turn and i'm gonna go in for two attacks with my sword okay
57:36
make those attack rolls uh [Music]
57:43
21 21 hits [Music]
57:51
13 points of piercing okay and that second attack
57:58
a lot uh 25 25 hits max damage uh
58:05
20 or sorry 14 points of piercing damage okay action surge
58:11
nice [Music] uh 13. 13 does not hit
58:19
cocked total of 20. that hits nice nice nice
58:25
uh 10 another 10 points okay [Music]
58:30
as he looks back down at you and a little smile little smirk drifts across his face as he gleefully takes all of
58:38
these all these hits at the end of your turn [Music]
58:43
yeah okay next up artemisia
58:50
she in her globe of invulnerability is going to float with her flight speed
58:56
is going to move over towards shraya and kellik
59:01
[Music] and she is going to [Music]
59:07
yeah she's going to up cast cone of cold um so i'm going to have both of you make a constitution saving throw i have
59:14
resistance my armor gives me resistance to this yes
59:19
um but you take half damage on whatever comes up okay great but still i get to save potentially i
59:26
failed as a six for me okay uh decks you setter con constitution on
59:34
uh eight eight you still take half damage try but you do not take half of the half
59:40
so she's up casting cone of cold
59:46
there's going to be 40 points of cold damage to kellic 20 points to try
59:53
and as you see this uh the gl the gleam of my armor produces this like glow and
59:59
this ancient magic emerges forth and deflects some of the cold some of the
1:00:05
some of this cone and some of it penetrates my body and the rest of it just
1:00:11
she washes over me nice alma you just looked down
1:00:17
and see zorkhall there in the cage you had seen just previously
1:00:23
while he was he kept himself in the cage last turn um he seemed to be healing himself
1:00:29
in the last turn this turn he's going to use his movement come on
1:00:35
to get out of the cage and move up and flank behind this acolyte um he's going to
1:00:42
um bonus actions summon his sword yes he is if he didn't i was going to tell i was
1:00:48
going to get mad at him and he is going to there we go yeah he bonus action
1:00:55
summoned his sword so he has to uh just do a straight attack um
1:01:00
he actually gets two attacks so that first attack with his long sword um
1:01:06
that's gonna make contact he's a bigger sword than me too he uh his first swing makes contact seven
1:01:12
points of damage nice as he drives it deep into this
1:01:17
the second one is also a hit again with his long sword
1:01:22
and there's max damage as he swings and completely decapitates like
1:01:28
a knife through butter decapitates um this acolyte in front of him as the head
1:01:33
rolls off towards one of the other cages
1:01:39
[Music] um as these acolytes are dying
1:01:45
uh the whole person is losing right so this should only so are they do they look like they're moving within there
1:01:52
correct it looks like they're they're getting their movement back yes good um
1:01:57
i'm going to um summon my
1:02:02
i'm going to um bring my hands back together and summon the um
1:02:08
gloom sword um from inside of the dead acolyte it's gonna disappear and
1:02:15
reappear in my hand and i am going to
1:02:20
um
1:02:26
run forward and use the um box as like a hiding space
1:02:33
you can definitely do that and i'm going to i will say it is because of the metal
1:02:39
bars you would be obscured you would not be completely hidden just a little note is there anywhere
1:02:44
around me that i that looks like it would block me there is a little outcropping behind some
1:02:49
rocks right behind you you would be a little bit further away from the action but you would have full cover as opposed to half cover behind this this cage
1:02:59
do i have enough movement to pop out from back there and still get back
1:03:04
to a hiding spot pretty easily you'd be able to take your entire movement pop out cast a spell and then move back yeah
1:03:11
yeah so i want to do that okay and i'm gonna throw my shadow blade again
1:03:17
all right who are you throwing it at i'm gonna throw it at york okay and i think i have disadvantage for
1:03:22
60 feet because it says 2060 right they're just out of actually you would be able to
1:03:28
step just within your range into thirty feet thirty twenty twenty sixty yeah you would not
1:03:34
be able to do that yeah okay so it's fine um disadvantage i wanna use tides of chaos
1:03:41
okay to make it at it just a straight just a straight roll okay go for it [Music]
1:03:48
yeah um i i look i close my eyes and i breathe deeply and i look like um
1:03:53
if you've ever seen a monk um i bring my hands together into a triangle in front of my chest and i
1:03:59
breathe in deeply and and concentrate on what i once thought was my key but is not
1:04:06
and i and i um my hands are in the triangle and then i grip the um the um health of the blade
1:04:13
and bring it behind my head to throw it and my fingers are sparking
1:04:18
a little as i do this and when i release it the spark will go with the blade okay
1:04:26
[Music]
1:04:35
[Music] six points of um poison or not sorry uh
1:04:41
a psychic damage psychic damage okay all right and then i'm going to use the
1:04:46
rest of my movement to um get the full coverage behind there full coverage gotcha i'm also going to use now i
1:04:53
already used a bonus action to call this word back to me so we're done okay next up shraya i am going to first i need to check to
1:05:00
make sure actually i'm so sorry i'm sorry [Music] since i walked up to where the sword was
1:05:06
could i say backtrack that i didn't call it to me i'd love that you allow it you would be able to because i didn't walk through

1:07:10
as a bonus action to move it um as
1:07:16

1:07:22
to kelly this is not where we shall perish as i forcefully wrap my arms around kellic
1:07:29

1:08:13
of my energy to move in this direction okay then how far are you going uh [Music]
1:08:20
uh that was a uh oh yeah then i don't have any i don't need to roll just your just your movement um
1:08:27
i'm gonna fly to the table and crouch under it okay you're crouching under it yes as i
1:08:32
as i uh launch myself from the trees i arc upward toward the sky and then dive bomb
1:08:38
down toward the table in a pushing motion um you now have the benefits of half cover as long as you are under this
1:08:44
table great just for your reference and that's going to be and you notice as shraya flies away in this little
1:08:51
flourish artemisia's eyes do not move from kellik um bonus action
1:08:57
yeah your bonus actually moved your sphere yeah also also did you do a concentration
1:09:03
check to make sure you
1:09:14
still locked in combat with flynn let's go um he's gonna bonus action rage
1:09:22
oh great yeah he's great and he's going to take
1:09:28
two swings at flynn [Music] that first one is a natural 20.
1:09:36
no thank you am i within 30. i don't think so now god damn it
1:09:42
[ __ ] god damn it so that is gonna be hit me with it i'm
1:09:49
glad i second winded [Music]
1:09:55
that's gonna be a base of 28 points of damage oh okay plus sure hold on let me do 28. and
1:10:01
that's just the weapon damage right [Music] that is of the dice that is what is on
1:10:07
the dice got it 28 is the dice and then add to that
1:10:13
seven points of bludgeoning okay and 12 points of fire and i use a reaction
1:10:18
yes yeah i will once again as i get smashed to the ground
1:10:24
as the flames yeah uh start to
1:10:29
cross over my body i'll raise my hand up limply and cast absorb elements once more and half that
1:10:36
okay [Music] next up amara
1:10:42
[Music] oh he does have another attack yeah
1:10:49
thank you for the reminder i appreciate the honesty bring it home i'm done i think
1:10:56
that's a 28 to hit oh come on what what
1:11:02
say that again 28 so 28 yeah that's a 16 plus 12. that'll hit you still have fire
1:11:08
resistance though i do so whatever that is it's half thank you very much that is that's important but
1:11:14
it's gonna be 13 points of bludgeoning i'm down so i don't know if you want to separate that but if it's all in it's all in one
1:11:21
and that downs me i'm unconscious okay so as i raise my hand up i block some of it my sigil blows that red and then he
1:11:28
lands one more hit and i ball it on the ground as my hand drops you see the the red that was being held fades
1:11:35
okay as the concentration is lost as i'm knocked unconscious on top of the female dwarf on top of the
1:11:40
female dwarf yeah amara um seeing where artemisia's
1:11:46
attacks are focused she is also gonna back up artemisia uh she's gonna walk over and
1:11:53
throw a spell at kellik [Music]
1:12:01
as she um she moves her hands around a small
1:12:06
little um like a like a wisp of green fog emanates from
1:12:13
within her hands as kellik you see directly in front of you a mirror
1:12:19
of green fog as it bursts out into a 20-foot sphere right around you
1:12:26
as she casts cloud kill oh my god loud kill i'm going to need you to make
1:12:31
a constitutional symbol [Music]
1:12:36
okay that's better than usual so that's a 17 to say
1:12:42
[Music] a17 beats the uh the dc nice
1:12:48
although you still take half damage right cloud kill is real dude that's a real spell
1:12:56
that is not a joke spell they rolled really well um that's 30
1:13:01
points of poison damage oh my goodness gracious i'm sorry 30 points
1:13:07
reduced to 15. oh okay okay sorry i i did not do that on purpose
1:13:12
i did not do that on purpose flynn let's get out of here yeah right okay
1:13:18
[Music] kellic what are you doing okay
1:13:25
uh so i'm still frigid from this this cone of cold
1:13:31
that's that's washed over me and then also this cloud this does cloud kill remain cloud kill
1:13:37
remains jeez and does that that doesn't affect artemisia though
1:13:42
um give me one second so yeah because how cause cloud kill's pretty huge right
1:13:47
no she does not currently have any other concentrations going um artemisia does artemisia does not amara
1:13:56
um and then uh the circle of death is is not uh
1:14:01
concentration a circle that's still active no no i said that that is not difficult
1:14:08
that is a 20-foot radius sphere okay
1:14:14
she would have had the wherewithal to place that to where it wouldn't hit me um yeah yeah
1:14:20
[Music] guacamole yeah if she centered that directly on
1:14:26
kellogg that still would not have uh gotten artemisia so
1:14:32
caleb what are you doing so yeah i'm uh does this cloud cloud kill doesn't do anything for vision does it it does not
1:14:39
affect your vision okay okay so i'm covered in icicles and i've got i'm
1:14:44
surrounded by this green fog and you can see that my my arm is like almost completely frozen over
1:14:51
but there's just the slightest feathering of this of this ice around my arm as the embers start to burn through
1:14:57
again and i'll i'll look up at artemisia kill me here if you like
1:15:04
but this is the fire of your retribution and it cannot be quilted
1:15:12
and i will once again as i did on on the higher uh
1:15:17
plan of altitude i will i will twitch in a in a in a in a way that that is like a visceral like
1:15:24
almost like a murderous lunge but i will restrain myself look daggers and i'm going to um
1:15:33
can i uh is this uh is this rough terrain uh next to me this
1:15:40
this uh hill that i just slid down yes it is okay all the flat surfaces are not but the
1:15:46
the hill itself is okay but i could still climb up and then uh move
1:15:52
out of the range of the cloud kill right yes yeah you would yeah so that's what
1:15:58
i'm going to do okay um and then
1:16:04
i'm going gonna go actually more toward flynn and less toward the the higher altitude like that yeah okay thank you
1:16:11
you'd actually be able to get a little bit further if you're not climbing that extra uh am i within 30 feet of everybody
1:16:19
you are within 30 feet of shraya
1:16:25
you are not within 30 feet of flynn okay well in that case and you are within 30 feet of alma okay
1:16:32
i'm gonna hold up my arm once more in front of me
1:16:37
just a bit more just give me a bit more and and my uh the bandages begin to burn as
1:16:44
as as it looks like i'm losing like a bit of flesh from my arm in this in this as
1:16:49
my arm lights up and i'm going to use another divine emperor i'm going to cast prayer healing
1:16:54
on everybody okay does that hit me too yeah i can double that
1:17:00
yes so 60 feet let's go the recall gets that too then
1:17:05
yeah you can choose the six yes
1:17:10
um it's too bad i can't just like double up on some do you have extra can you hit the dwarf
1:17:16
yeah uh 14 points of healing for everybody
1:17:23
huge let's go [Music] uh and then for my bonus action i'm
1:17:30

1:17:36
zergath and the dwarf the dwarven woman who was down okay okay
1:17:42
uh and there's an acolyte uh just just just beyond that beyond them okay i'm gonna have the spiritual weapon attack
1:17:48
the accolade okay nice nice uh 17 to hit 17 hits yeah awesome
1:17:56
nice nice uh 11 points of force damage as this jagged
1:18:02
silvery dagger slices out from this rift okay um he stumbles back but is not
1:18:08
killed by that okay but took a heavy chunk of it okay at the end of your time it'll be my turn
1:18:14
okay um next up in response to that the acolytes um
1:18:20
once again are gonna circle around one of them is gonna engage with um zorkhall
1:18:28
and cast yeah they're going to continue casting that that sacred flame um so
1:18:33
zorkhall he got eel too right yes um it's to fail that dexterity saving
1:18:41
through he got healing so this all right taking some damage but
1:18:46
not as much as that that healing for sure and the other one is gonna continue
1:18:51
throwing a sacred flame at flynn um so yeah that's going to be [Music]
1:18:57
um yeah a deck safe and if i'm prone because i'm assuming i'm prone because i
1:19:02
was just brought back is that disadvantage if i'm prone for a deck save i don't think so it seems like it that's
1:19:09
one of those where it seems like yeah i don't think you're just a straight rule
1:19:14
still that's gonna be max damage that's eight points of
1:19:20
um radiant damage okay now there you go can i while as we've been
1:19:28
i've seen a lot more magic cast can i tell any further whether this is familiar or not whether she's involved
1:19:34
make another religion check for me [Music]
1:19:39
15. 15. now that you've seen more of it cast
1:19:44
a weird combination of both familiar and not
1:19:50
okay okay flynn what are you doing

um i will i will uh as i stand up i will um wipe
1:20:04
some blood from my mouth spit out of the side [Music]
1:20:09

1:20:22
how's how does he look he looks excited to be fighting he looks
1:20:29
thrilled and enthusiastic realizing that i'm beaten
1:20:35
and bruised i will think of the things at my disposal and i will quickly if i can reach into the bag
1:20:42
and pull out that yes okay and i will use an action to turn him on
1:20:48
right yep i will turn him on [Music]
1:20:58
you help yeah what do you need stop him
1:21:03
and i'll set him down on the ground and i will pull my sword out pull my shield out
1:21:09
take a breath stare at this guy okay all right i will roll an issue for
1:21:15
thaddeus um also uh could i um how much how much is the healing potion
1:21:21
it's 24 plus two right yeah [Music]
1:21:26
yeah i'll do it because i might be able to if i take one hit i might be able to survive uh i'm gonna i'm gonna reach into my side pouch and i'm just gonna
1:21:33
knock it back that's where we're at it's also really good to use to get people back up but i might actually able
1:21:38
to stay up if i take yeah yeah so i'll do that okay um
1:21:46
next up uh in the initiative is thaddeus um he rolled very high
1:21:51
uh thaddeus looks up at zergath and as his mouth opens up
1:21:57
you just hear an echoing [Music] yeah come on come on man please come on
1:22:04
please i'll marry you dude that's great gonna be i know he's been rolling high
1:22:10
votes everyone can dream it's okay maybe he'll try it again i don't know how many times
1:22:16
he saves crap okay next up artemisia
1:22:22
she is gonna be coming after kellic yep she's once again gonna up cast cone
1:22:29
of cold geez as she moves closer um let me see oh i got that healing too
1:22:35
didn't it and try you would be caught in this cone as well because it's also it's a it has
1:22:40
a height it is a height as well as width um so i'm gonna have both of you make
1:22:46
constitution saving throws am i in it oma would be in it um so i took the
1:22:53
dodge plus you're you're behind you're behind the pole cover i'm under a table yes you
1:22:58
are so you would be taking half and then the my armor which is the armor the cold is
1:23:04
that also half of that happens quarter quarter yeah so you would be taking quarter damage and depending on the role depending on the rule
1:23:10
or an eight damage con right yeah it's a 10.
1:23:18
30 20 okay
1:23:24
yeah she's up casting this up casting to what
1:23:31
she's got some spell slots [Music]
1:23:36
yeah that's gonna be 55 points of cold damage i'm down did you take that all yeah i i rolled
1:23:43
10. yeah oh you got that okay
1:23:50
kellick is down that doesn't put me in the negative rate that puts me just at zero just puts at
1:23:56
zero okay so as you see the direction of this cold like the table like splits it and then
1:24:03
my again this ancient magic emanates from my armor uh and some of it gets
1:24:08
whisked up uh as i mostly repel this but still uh
1:24:14
bristle from the uh seven points of cooldown okay and as i'm caught in this uh moving
1:24:20
away uh i i i slowly stumble forward and the only part of me
1:24:28
that remains unfrigid is this this arm of mine that doesn't even seem like it's
1:24:34
attached to me anymore with the extent that it's the only thing shraya i'm also going to have you make a concentration check for oh for your fire
1:24:40
yep i can do that have to be to 10. yeah solid solid solid
1:24:45
okay i maintain that next up zorkol is going to uh run up to
1:24:51
this acolyte and make two attacks
1:25:04
and that second one is a hit does this one take a damage already it has okay not as much as the other one
1:25:10
maybe he can pinch it off just but enough to kill it once again in a sweeping motion um just decapitates
1:25:17
this accolade [Music] oma what are you doing oh um
1:25:24
i see um i've been kind of looking at everything even behind from behind the cover and i
1:25:29
peek my head out ready to call the sword to me again um is artemisia still surrounded by an orb
1:25:37
she is so i see kellik fall to the ground i see artemisia is
1:25:42
still covered in the her orb um he is frozen basically um and i let
1:25:49
loose this just like guttural um scream garlic
1:25:55
and i'm gonna um my concentration has broken i the sword dissipates from inside
1:26:01
of um amara if it is still inside of her um
1:26:08
and i'm gonna run up to kellik um how much
1:26:14
you would just be able to get there great um i'm gonna fall to my knees
1:26:20
and i'm gonna administer a healing potion okay that is an action to give it to someone else yeah
1:26:28
get him up that's six points of healing all right and i look at
1:26:34
um [Music] i look up at artemisia
1:26:41
and just like glare daggers at her um okay
1:26:47
and i'm going to one more time um breathe into the center of my body
1:26:54
um and also and and one more time do patient defense take the dodge
1:27:00
okay sharya what are you doing uh i'm going to look toward
1:27:06
uh kellik uh see as he as he collapses
1:27:11
the red the scream from alma registers as i bristle and shake the cold energy off of me and uh and i say not today
1:27:20
as i uh tap my purple crystal to my purple pink crystals my forehead
1:27:25
and this like green energy pours out from it as a few roots spring up beneath
1:27:31
kellik and i uh cast healing word on him as well okay [Music]
1:27:39
uh five points of healing all right uh
1:27:44
and i do need to make that oh i already did the concentration but i i'm not able to move it
1:27:50
uh because that is a bonus action what i am gonna do is as an action
1:27:55
uh draw back one more javelin take it out from
1:28:01
my uh quiver and i'm gonna hurl it toward the
1:28:06
acolyte that is currently engaged closest to the to the sphere okay he's is that my dad already i think
1:28:13
zoro told him yes i'm sorry that's that's my never mind that is my fault um in that case uh i'm gonna see
1:28:20
how what's my range on how close am i to the one remaining accolade you are like
1:28:27
[Music] sixty feet ah i don't even have to move are you okay uh i'm gonna emerge from
1:28:33
the table slightly to ready my aim and just
1:28:38
bring them down as i release uh fly true uh the javelin
1:28:44
from uh my hand as it cruises toward to use the high ground too you've like got a nice thing yeah yeah make an attack
1:28:51
roll all right this is regular uh yeah it's not it's not good okay good
1:28:57
uh so they don't have very much armor class but
1:29:02
i don't think i get any proficiency or anything you do right yeah you do it's a simple weapon
1:29:08
it's a simple weapon oh yeah uh so in that case uh does an 11 hit and 11 just hits yes
1:29:16
so in that case uh
1:29:21
three points of piercing damage as it sticks on the side of this acolyte and it goes all the way through him
1:29:28
as he falls limp to the ground as i as i can watch both my hands bring them uh to my chest and say thank you
1:29:35
[Music] all right that's my turn that's my turn next step
1:29:42
