hi i'm your dm ethan welcome to ventureforth [Music]

0:43

kellik you open your eyes

0:48

you look forward as you're standing there and you see

0:54

two paths ahead of you you look to the right

1:00

and you see a path that goes off and leads to a door

1:07

you see a path that goes off to the left leads to another door

1:13

see the door on the right bathed in radiant light

1:19

see the door on the left the edges of it sparkling with embers

1:24

as ashes peel away what would you like to do

1:31

um i look down at my form what what am i made up of

1:37

you are made up of flesh blood

1:44

you look down and you see all your wounds healed

1:52

you see a white robe around your body

1:58

i check my arm you have no bandages you see a fully formed arm

2:08

what the hell i look back and forth between these

2:15

doors i check my my my hand is there a scar in the center

2:20

there is not as you look it appears any wounds any scars that you had previously

2:28

been inflicted with are no longer there [Music]

2:35

all right uh i look at the doors is there any uh any anything

2:41

any personified element is there a a uh

2:47

like the temple and solaris uh was there there was that stone visage of deck rails or

2:54

anything like that at this at the at the door to my left nothing two simple wooden doors

3:00

identical and make [Music]

3:06

i'll look back and forth between them no i'm not done yet

3:16

it's not time for this i can fight for both you

3:25

i can bridge the cap [Music]

3:31

let me try whatever scars

3:37

whatever wounds you want me to bear i'll bear them

3:43

any change no change [Music]

3:50

you feel a cold chill run down your spine as almost like a subtle breeze rolls through that chills

3:57

your entire body

4:08

i look to the door to my right there are those that abandoned

4:14

the ones who served them and then i looked at the door in my left

4:21

and those that would bestow power to [Music] the forces of chaos

4:32

[Music] what manner of perverse choice is this

4:40

that the denizens of elbor must choose between

4:50

when you left me stranded the author gave me a path

4:56

so i just follow it i proceeded the door to my left you walk down the path and

5:02

with each step your arm begins to tingle

5:07

a little bit now with each step closer and closer you can feel your skin bubble and blister

5:15

as you look down and moving closer and closer to the door you see ethereal bandages begin to wrap and

5:22

encompass your arm i i bear this sensation

5:28

with as much with this plane of face as i can muster okay

5:33

you get to the door you place your hand on the cold metal doorknob

5:40

you turn it and you open it [Music] into the darkness then

5:47

you step in and as you look around you see a room

5:54

dimly lit walls made of wood

6:01

see a couple sconces up on the walls you see a finely made oak table

6:08

and on the far side you see a fireplace warm and inviting

6:14

spreading its glow across the entire room you see

6:21

two chairs two large leather arm chairs

6:27

and a small table in between with a couple of cups

6:33

you look and you see right next to the fireplace there's a figure standing there

6:40

looks like a metal poker in his right hand as he's just tending to the fire

6:47

poking at it you can see a long

6:53

orange cloak this this deep ember cloak as his back is

6:59

turned to you and he's poking at the fire [Music] do i recognize this cloak

7:05

you do and there's an empty chair adjacent to this

7:13

are there any other um emphasis or exits to this room you do

7:19

see one other exit yes i will placidly um approach the

7:27

chair and take a seat

7:34

without making without looking in this direction okay

7:40

and he sort of looks over his shoulder sees that you're there and for another second

7:46

goes back to tending the fire [Music] i look into this fire

7:53

is it a blaze or is it on the edges of it seems to be right on

7:59

the edge it seems like every time he pokes it is just keeping it just enough lit

8:06

naturally

8:16

did you mean it your promise

8:22

yeah of course i don't make any promises that i don't intend to keep [Music]

8:29

that's why they call you the vote keeper hey yeah i think that's the reason

8:35

maybe title bad day huh [Music]

8:43

amidst my bad days not the worst

8:49

at least this time as i lost

8:54

sight of the night sky i knew that what was within me was so

9:01

bright [Music]

9:09

what did you do to them what did you do to vermeer

9:15

[Music]

9:21

we uh took him out of position that they were no longer able to occupy

9:28

[Music]

9:33

is she still alive [Music] yeah [Music]

9:40

it's not in the condition that you once knew her [Music]

9:45

i witnessed her magic houston perverse fashion [Music]

9:54

i've seen yours to a bit of a trick as well

10:03

but i place a lot of stock in your promise

10:09

if it is true then you believe in the people of this world

10:17

i believe that if the power can be shared [Music]

10:24

and not restricted ghouls with

10:30

tri-ring tattoos on their foreheads then we

10:36

we might have some hope on elbow

10:43

[Music] am i done though

10:48

[Music] is this it

10:54

this is usually it for most that door there

11:00

does that lead to the planes

11:06

[Music] i have so many questions for you zachary

11:13

i'd invite you to sit and ask him [Music] i don't uh

11:19

don't talk to too many people

11:27

but you remind me of myself so at this site

11:33

i i i send kind of a peculiar look can i see a visage beneath his hood or is it

11:39

his hood is actually fully down oh okay um so you get a full glimpse of his face um

11:46

a human man um with a short ashy gray beard

11:53

um these piercing orange eyes and

12:00

his face well it doesn't look dirty necessarily it looks like there is just ash poured

12:07

into all of the cracks and crevices of his face when you showed me the planes i

12:18

scared me to death what upon reflection

12:24

don't know if i've ever seen anything

12:29

come close to the beauty of the night sky to the plains there remarkable

12:39

did you did you make them did you find them

12:45

it was a bit of a both process um

12:52

there was some making and some doing some of it i found [Music]

13:02

i just created a place that i would have liked to go [Music]

13:08

in a way i think that's what i did with vermeer

13:17

were you a man once yeah immortal

13:24

and i at this i i i cannot sustain my veneer of

13:30

like stoicness i just like turn my my body [Music]

13:38

a real physical place [Music] no there's real no

13:44

there's not really any physicality to it how did you do it then how did you dethrone the gods

13:53

it was a long and bloody process that

13:59

i prefer not to relive if i don't have to

14:06

what will you do then when when you vacate

14:15

how how do you do that where will you go [Music] we can't necessarily

14:22

vacate completely the universe won't really allow us

14:28

but within the extent of our power we are allowed to give up

14:34

certain abilities certain dominions over mortals

14:40

and that's what we've decided to do um the old gods were

14:46

ruthless in their command of people and they they took their power and

14:54

forced it upon citizens of nations and

15:02

fallout from that is what you might expect so

15:07

we had decided to give people the choice take the power that

15:13

as far as i'm concerned as theirs anyways and let them do with it what they will

15:19

you could say we believe in a truer nature of people than the old gods did and

15:26

when does that happen what's the line that you draw

15:34

there's sort of a well of belief you can call it

15:42

and that well is being pushed back upon by all the people who still believe in the

15:47

old gods and still want to worship and they're the roadblock they don't understand

15:54

that their worship of the old gods and their need to be subjugated by them

16:02

is keeping them from being truly free it's that that grasp on

16:08

what's comfortable and what's known i

16:14

the people's belief in the old gods is

16:19

keeping them alive it's not as much keeping them alive as it's keeping us from

16:26

doing what we need to do [Music] that arm there that you got is uh

16:34

my little reminder of sometimes the the discomfort that comes with change

16:40

and living with that and taking a path that's a little less comfortable

16:46

for the greater good

16:52

instead of just sitting in what you're comfortable with and and keep taking the hits

16:59

feel a little bit of discomfort and take a better path i look down at the arm

17:08

right [Music]

17:13

i've had it for long enough now that i think i take your meaning

17:21

and you feel the pain less every day don't you you get used to it because the path you're walking now

17:28

one that you're choosing not one that's been told that you need to go down

17:34

and so there's your reminder

17:40

[Music]

17:46

does the world need to have its arms burnt

17:51

across the board just for change [Music]

17:59

sometimes [Music] my friend jarnin was a good man

18:07

and he's dead now because of this

18:12

bloody war he's not an army he's not an appendage

18:18

he's a he's alive

18:26

mistakes they're so high i don't know how you bear them

18:34

i look back into the embers

18:42

what would you have me do [Music] end the

18:48

worship of the old gods for good so that you can bestow the

18:53

power of divinity upon the people of albor [Music]

19:00

unfortunately you ain't gonna be doing much anymore as much as i hate to say

19:08

[Music] exactly light

19:14

i respect your judgment but i've seen the world of helper

19:22

[Music] i know

19:27

better than anyone [Music] what stands to be lost

19:35

and what the price to pay is i hold the arm up once more [Music]

19:41

i can do this i want to repair the world [Music]

19:49

i'm sorry there are some rules even i can't break

19:54

so [Music] that such thing

20:00

just the ashes [Music] that's the natural thing

20:11

i wish i could change it okay like i like you i just can't [Music] then i'm making exceptions

20:19

left and right and then i become no better than the old gods and people have no choices

20:24

i'm making them for them that's not the path i want to take but you did make an exception

20:30

does anyone else have this actually i've seen a bunch of

20:36

kind folks with dust on their arms but this is not dust this is you

20:44

all right hold my arm up to him yeah people your clerics they called me a seer

20:50

where it does attend if your goal really is

20:56

to disseminate power then just end the war be done with it

21:02

what's the meager worship of the remaining followers the old gods gonna do where's the choice in that

21:08

though they have the choice they've been presented with the option and they're

21:15

currently making that choice they have the freedom to do what they want to do

21:21

[Music] and this is the outcome that they've decided would you like me to take that choice

21:27

away from them rule with an iron fist have my angels descend upon the world

21:33

my paladin's going to every town imparting my law telling people what they're doing

21:39

at cold crest they made that choice sure

21:45

but it's the same outcome but it's not my choice that's the point i'm trying to make

21:51

it's theirs but you have the power [Music]

21:57

you have the responsibility that's what this is [Music]

22:03

what is a choice if your only options are survival or not

22:10

the choice is if you have options if i go on to the ashes [Music]

22:16

i'm done but the people down there they deserve to know they deserve to know what's at stake

22:25

i put my head in my hands [Music]

22:30

there's a district in hattersfield slums [Music]

22:38

and it's rife with [Music] brigands and

22:43

untoward people [Music] beggars

22:49

the last [Music] those people

22:56

are the same as i was when vermeer left me they have no choice i have no options

23:06

they just all look so hopeless to me [Music] and not just because i'm at death's door

23:11

i look up at the door in front of us [Music] i'm i was gonna say i was sorry to have

23:18

failed you but i suppose it'd be more accurate to say i'm sorry to have failed

23:26

i think i think i could have been a good leader

23:33

with some more time i think i could have

23:39

helped people [Music] with equity

23:45

but the hell that's left is the ashes then

23:51

my sort of shrug i suppose there are worse things you'll be well taken care of kellogg

23:56

yeah me and that hook horror and those one-eyed beasts

24:02

i have a little wistful smile the world is full of difficult decisions

24:08

and i'm doing my best to present everyone with the best options that they have

24:14

that ensures their freedom of choice and [Music]

24:20

i would hate to say that i hadn't but gaelic i've learned a lot from you

24:27

and he walks over and he reaches his hand out to give you a handshake

24:34

i look up at him um

24:40

defensively [Music] i'll stand [Music]

24:48

just from this level of power you've given me [Music]

24:53

i know the burden that it is [Music]

24:58

don't know that what you've done is for the best of the world what [Music]

25:04

i respect the fact that you took

25:12

action thanks for giving me an option no shake his hand

25:20

and he sort of nods you over to the to the door you're gonna be missed caleb

25:26

not just by me but [Music] i know by the people you've touched

25:33

i never really considered how much i'd miss them

25:39

i look at him i look at the door look back at him will i

25:46

still be me [Music] out there

25:53

only as much as you want to be [Music] that's a lot to unpack

26:01

and you'll have the eons to unpack it i uh [Music] stiffen my jaw

26:07

and i'll i'll i'll not turn my head toward him but just look at him sidelong [Music]

26:14

you'll keep your vow bell keeper [Music] i'll find a way back

26:21

and i will march to the door okay you walk up to the door and as you reach your hand out

26:29

and you grasp towards the handle your hand passes right through it [Music]

26:36

as the handle becomes transparent and slowly fades away as the rest of the door

26:43

slowly fades away zachary looks at you

26:48

looks at the door he goes

26:54

[ __ ] [Music] he looks back he looks at the door you came in through

27:00

as it unlocks and it opens he goes well that's unexpected

27:09

get on back out there

27:14

i go i assume your friends are waiting

27:20

oh oh boy do you have any do you have any extra

27:25

there's something you can give me because it's rough out there i can give you a little extra something

27:30

that'll be great that'd be grounded oh yeah all right oh

27:36

that's that's really [ __ ] sexy i take that and i i i

27:44

without missing a further beat we'll step back out okay um you feel this rush of warmth

27:53

as you feel once again your body inhabited and your eyes slowly open

28:01

as your vision is still blurry you can feel

28:06

a warm liquid dripping down the back of your throat

28:12

as you look down and you see directly in front of you and just just down a little

28:17

bit uh a hooded figure in a red cloak

28:22

as they have your hand their hand on your forehead leaning your head back and a small bowl

28:28

in their other hand as they are tipping the bowl into your mouth as this liquid is coating the back

28:34

of your throat you look down towards the liquid and you can see little tiny specks of diamonds

28:40

within this as your vision focuses in you look to your right

28:46

and you can see a similar hooded figure and you see

28:51

at one of those standing pillars that the mirrors had been leaned up against you see alma her body limp

28:59

but tied in a standing position against the pillar you see another

29:05

one of these acolytes pouring a similar liquid into her mouth are these they appear to be like red wolf acolytes they

29:11

appear to be okay as these two acolytes go down the line they do the same with shraya

29:19

flynn zorkhall you see them wrap around and take

29:24

the four people who are in the boxes the two dwarves and the two humans

29:30

and do something very similar as the rest of you open your eyes and feel the tight rope

29:38

almost burning against your skin as you're tied up against these pillars

29:44

you all open your eyes and you see two red wolf acolytes

29:52

you see standing there in the middle of this this broken and this this temple that's

29:59

in shambles you see zergath

30:04

and amara and you see standing in the middle of them artemisia

30:11

you see artemisia give both of them a subtle nod

30:17

as they step and part ways artemisia snaps her fingers

30:24

and both of the red wolf acolytes come towards her she grabs both of them by the shoulders

30:31

as all three of their forms begin to sparkle and glow

30:37

and disappear leaving all of you tied up to these pillars

30:44

with zergath and amara standing in the middle of this temple

30:50

what would you all like to do

30:56

i look around can i am i where's my can i see my staff anywhere

31:02

in the make a perception check for me great also what does it look like the uh those two are doing also

31:09

did we heal how are we feeling yeah yeah yes so as you all fully come to consciousness

31:16

you feel your wounds and any bruises that you had

31:22

completely gone as you all have been restored back to complete health

31:29

as amara and zergath come together at the middle of this temple

31:37

amara reaches down and you see a small leather bag there she reaches down

31:44

and she pulls out from the bag what looks like a metal key

31:50

she pulls it out and as you guys look you can see the key is

31:55

almost shining but in a strange way there are these red flecks all throughout

32:03

very reminiscent of the metal that you guys were given that opens the portal to

32:10

the plane of air although this isn't just a metal shard this seems to be formed into a full key

32:19

amarra walks to the center of the temple and she walks up to the pillar

32:26

that zergath had placed down there she reaches out with the key

32:33

and like melted butter this key slides into the

32:38

pillar where no keyhole was but you can see the the stone pillar begin to melt just

32:45

at the edges of where the key goes in what are you all doing um what do my hands look like

32:52

your hands are completely tied behind your back okay your feet are also bound as well as the rope that is tying you to

32:58

the pillar and i am basically pushed up back against the wall

33:03

hands in between my back and the wall squeezed correct and i couldn't see anything with that

33:09

eight that i rolled uh no you can't see your staff

33:15

i'm just grunting under my breath i wanna look over and see everyone else everyone else is awake uh we are all

33:22

including the other the dwarfs tied up as well the dwarves and the humans that were also in

33:27

the boxes all tied are my hands tied beside me behind your back behind my back against the pillar against the

33:34

pillar your hands are almost being crushed between your body and the pillar okay and they are wrapped they have they

33:41

have rope around them individual independently they are roped together by the wrists

33:47

can i move them at all like kind of my fingers you'll be able to move your fingers yeah what is uh

33:54

what does zorghul look like does he look like he's trying anything does he look like he's thinking can i see him for him

33:59

check a seven

34:05

a seven you can see he's starting to fidget a little bit you don't know if he's attempting to

34:12

move his hands to cast something you don't know whether he's trying to break himself out cut himself out you are not sure i'm gonna move my mouth and tuck my

34:20

chin and grip my cloak between my teeth

34:25

and i'm going to wiggle my fingers and my hands

34:31

around and come on

34:36

and try to cast fire bolts behind me knowing that i might burn myself knowing that i'm just hoping to burn the ropes

34:43

okay so i'm my teeth are gripping my um my robe to my cloak to keep from

34:48

screaming okay um that is gonna go off i'm gonna have you roll a d4 for me before you cast that

34:58

two a two okay so um as you cast that you can feel both

35:03

the pillar behind you beginning to to heat up a little bit as well as the rope

35:09

you are directing it in such a way that you are not actually hurting yourself i am going to have you roll damage

35:17

as amara walks back after placing the key

35:24

into this stone and you can see the edges of it are still melting and almost forming this magma that's dripping down

35:29

to the ground does that appear to be opening a door like a

35:34

key might not at the moment okay

35:40

that's nine points of damage nine points of damage okay you can feel

35:46

the um the rope that's tying your hands together completely break great so your

35:51

hands are still behind your back you are still tied to the pillar but your hands are now free as amara walks up to all of

35:57

you great and shraya being in the center she walks up to you and sort of

36:03

[Music] inspects and sort of [ __ ] her head to the side and

36:09

looks you up and down we have to stop meeting like this

36:15

starting to become unpleasant meeting like this as i

36:21

uh take a little bit of saliva and i spit in her face [Music]

36:28

get a tribe she angrily wipes it away and she walks over takes a

36:33

side step walks over to flynn you're all so

36:39

truly i'll be sad to see you all go i

36:45

um

36:55

i've had quite enough of this um uh piros would you please get everything set up

37:02

and the body of zergath walks down into the middle

37:09

into the view of all of you and all the pillars and takes out from behind his back

37:15

a wooden staff probably about two feet long no thicker than a gold piece in diameter

37:25

he snaps it in half but it doesn't snap like a normal piece of wood there's still a tether of

37:33

of orange energy connecting them almost like a piece of string or a piece of

37:38

electricity between the two as he drives them into the ground

37:43

amara looks and says thank you very much as amara walks back towards where the

37:50

key is you can see these two pieces of wood that have been driven into the ground now the sparks

37:56

begin to fly even more and more as all of a sudden a beam shoots up into the air about 20 feet a thin beam that that

38:05

comes begins to come out and sort of umbrella over all of you slowly

38:10

making this this large dome as it encompasses all of you

38:17

and as soon as it hits the ground you all can feel yourselves

38:23

get just a little bit more tired and as you look around you see

38:29

this energy forming around each of your bodies and slowly wisps of it or being pulled

38:36

away and form into this amorphous ball

38:41

in the middle as you all take one point of necrotic damage i'd like to do something i would also like to do

38:47

something for sure um i'm going to aim um shift my

38:52

hand around and um aim a fire bolt to the wooden beam i'm gonna have you just

38:58

make an acrobatics check to see if you would be able to with your

39:03

hands behind your back actually they're not no you'll be able to bring them around to

39:08

the sides yeah for sure so i'm gonna have you make an attack roll to the um the things that are

39:13

potentially causing this yes um 23 to hit uh yeah 23 hits uh roll your

39:21

damage and you're hitting what the beam the beam the beam behind you yeah okay no not from the

39:35

i'm not tied together anymore oh i thought you were on that you're still tied to the wall yeah tied to the wall but she can bring it like that sweet okay cool yeah cool um okay as you are

39:43

casting that i'm gonna have everyone roll initiative i wouldn't be able to get off mine as well

39:48

do you have fire i'll give everyone a surprise round because amara and zerght do not know that this is happening so

39:54

i'll give everyone a round okay you got it that's six points okay give me one

39:59

second okay and another point to note

40:05

you see how long did you activate thaddeus uh it was just the action so it would be

40:11

i think 10 minutes 10 minutes gotcha um yeah so you see sort of propped up against some of the uh some of the rocks

40:18

sort of off to the side deactivated you see the head of that yes

40:25

he's gonna be pink i guess one last thing before we start on this do we have our items or do we see our items my

40:30

advice i basically don't have my backpack on but you do not have your backpack on you see everything that

40:36

was once on you um all piled up near thaddeus okay cool okay

40:42

okay um kellick what's your initiative uh i roll a one for a three because i don't

40:47

think you can crit phil initiative

40:57

21. there we go 21. nice and flynn

41:02

7. okay still in a surprise round

41:08

shraya what are you gonna do i'm still bound right yes you are can i

41:14

can i ask what happened when i cast the damage oh that's right um so you cast

41:20

your firebolt and it made contact the sticks that are in the ground did not move but you saw a

41:27

small uh splinter of one sort of chip away as um as the firebolt hit it do we all

41:34

see that you all see that it's directly in front of all of you um it didn't act like a normal

41:40

wooden stick would you surmise that there is some sort of magical protection on it though it did not completely

41:47

mitigate all of your all of your damage uh i am going to

41:53

how are my how are my feet slash talons bound at the ankles rope around the ankles yeah

42:00

uh i'm going to [Music] try to

42:06

flex my talons back as far as they'll go to see if i can swipe that

42:11

rope if they if they'll bend back that far as like as far back as i could possibly bend them make an acrobatics check for

42:18

me okay i'll set the dc at seven on this

42:23

okay [Music] that's a set well yeah that's a seven

42:29

meet to beat it okay plus seven plus seven okay yeah yeah for sure um so i'm gonna

42:36

have you make an attack roll uh as a claw attack okay because i know you've got that extra low

42:42

uh that's a critical fail it's not i mean it's a four added two but okay um you're

42:48

in the correct spot to start cutting through it you're just not able to quite find the angle on it

42:54

okay that's gonna be my turn then okay um next up zorkhall

43:02

flynn as you look over as you're sort of a little bit more interested you can see he's not cutting through

43:08

he's like he's maneuvering his hand into an upright position

43:14

as he bonus action recalls his sword

43:19

as his sword operates into his hand [Music] see what the damage is on that

43:29

yeah his sword operates into his hand and immediately as it's apparating slices through the

43:35

rope and you can see in a similar fashion to oma his hands drop down into a free position

43:40

[Music] oma

43:45

um i'm going to

43:54

do i have anything on me like if i had a knife do i still have a knife in my pocket or is it has everything been removed everything has been removed okay

44:00

so i'm gonna minus clothing and right stuff like that um how far in

44:05

front of us are those um stakes they are uh from you only about ten feet

44:12

uh they are almost directly on the ground in front of try yeah i'm gonna um

44:19

i'm gonna maneuver my hands in such a way that they're up under the rope in front of my body so i'm gonna

44:25

lift them from my sides like at my elbows and try to put my fingers like under the under the rope by my chest

44:33

um just kind of like bite just forcing my way in um tiny fingers and all um and i'm gonna touch my

44:40

my fingers and my thumbs together forming a triangle and i'm gonna cast burning hands from me

44:49

to the cool to the um plank like like the stakes in the ground

44:55

so that not only am i cutting the rope in front of my body yeah but also

45:01

making it nice nice nice nice um that is uh still a 12. a 12. okay um

45:08

easily um they make a save is a save is burning hands oh so actually i'll stick

45:15

with the attack roll for objects

45:21

[Music] if the dc is 14 i'll say that beats it's ac easy enough um as

45:29

you the this thing burns through the rope in front of you and uh i'm gonna have you make your damage okay i did

45:36

that at level one okay it's also a spell nice okay so i'm gonna have you roll the damage first and then we can do wild

45:42

magic great so one two three guys i did it

45:48

twelve points of damage okay you can see um on the same

45:53

uh on the same one of the the two sticks you can see even more being chipped away and as you do you can see

46:00

almost like there is the same electrical cord on the inside so as you're breaking

46:06

away the the wood exterior it's sort of exposing this core on the inside um

46:12

okay i'm gonna like lean down to um as my movement and start trying to pull at the rope by my feet okay

46:20

awesome so now oma is only bound by her feet flynn um

46:25

seeing this stuff happen seeing them attacking seeing zorko obviously cut through um rope with the sword what are

46:32

where are the enemies where did they go are they did they just leave us here or are they artemisia and the acolytes seem

46:38

to teleport away known location um amara and zergath are just walking up towards

46:45

that central pillar where she put the key in uh taking a nod from zorkhall however

46:51

unfortunately

46:59

[Music] okay um roll your damage

47:05

uh nine points of piercing as you feel your hands immediately snap back down to your sides as the rope is cut in half um

47:12

is it just one attack yeah that is just one attack can i do another attack can i like move it around

47:18

and try and like pull it up and try to cut some more the rope i'll do that do i have to roll or just attack uh just the

47:23

damage another nine points okay pull up and rip

47:29

some of the as you are also now drop down to the ground uh bound by your ankles

47:35

have we short rested

47:48

okay next up in the initiative uh kellick um

47:54

am i able to are my hands free enough to cast a spell or how does how does this work with the way that we're bound

48:01

if i it depends which spell you would like to cast uh if it's a not attack

48:06

roll spell for example could i do that what are the components the verbal and somatic verbal and

48:13

somatic what level is it i would say anything level one easy enough to do level two there's a

48:19

possibility that it does not work okay

48:25

that's the risk of knowing this information yeah yeah yeah i would like to just try and break free from good yeah okay you would you would definitely

48:31

like feeling the extent of the rope back there it definitely is yeah you would definitely know um okay so how are you

48:38

gonna do that are you gonna try and slip out break out let me see i guess

48:43

[Music] do i still have a bandage on on your arm

48:48

on my arm yeah or is it okay well then i'm gonna i'm gonna position that bandage in such a way that it like

48:56

corresponds with like i'm gonna use that to make there less friction where the rope is to try and slip that

49:02

arm out first and use that arm to pry the other one free okay make an acrobatic check for me all right or

49:08

sleight of hand i think they're both the same modification yeah unless you have i could have had proficiency

49:17

uh eight in eight um you are able to slip one of your hands out but in doing so the rope

49:24

tightens in a way to where the other hand is still bound back there okay but you do have one hand free uh-huh but

49:30

that does consume my action it does consume your action okay um

49:36

yeah well then uh i'm just gonna like look over in

49:41

did i see that who who's free already flynn and sorco flynn um

49:48

uh zorkhall just broke the bounds of his hands so he is still tied to the tie to the pillar okay i'm just gonna like give

49:54

a look of desperation to my comrades as i with my one hand as i eat inch it out

49:59

over top of my rope bonds to this pillar and sort of do a little baby wave with them

50:07

[Music] all right i'm trying hold on okay

50:13

as that happens um you all feel the effects of

50:20

of this magical item in front of you and you all take two points of necrotic damage

50:26

oh that's not good as you look around you hear

50:32

[Music] as the dwarves who are also tied to the pillars also have their life force being

50:39

drained out as it all coalesces into this warbling ball

50:48

and almost pillar falls over and she dies she is crushed to death in a tragic

50:54

accident um so as you look forward as as your life

51:00

is being drained out you look forward as zergath peers back at all of you for the

51:06

first time noticing as your ropes are no longer cut for some of

51:12

you he nudges amara and amara looks back and she turns her head back to the key

51:19

and she walks up and she turns the key in the stone as more of it turns to magma and drips down

51:26

you watch as these pillars that are formed into

51:32

ancient um statues probably in some sort of ritual in this

51:38

temple long past you look as these orbs begin to glow

51:44

and circle around the pillar where the key was turned [Music]

51:50

you look as this searing light emanates across the sky

51:56

this searing light horizontal across as it expands

52:01

out and creates this massive doorway you can see flames beginning to to spill forward

52:08

as it opens up similar to how it did with the plane of air but this seems

52:14

much more controlled and much much bigger rate

52:24

really good to the plane of fire oh my god opens up no

52:29

sick

52:39

as i take in the fire and just wince and try to look away all right roll damage all right for those uh those

52:46

talons [Music] um oh wait no that sorry that was the

52:52

wrong day um as much as i'd like that yeah right

52:57

that's one point of uh slashing damage from the talons okay you can feel it start to weaken

53:03

you are not all the way through the rope though okay it's weakening ah come on

53:09

i will allow you if you want

53:14

yes to make an athletics check to see if you can break out from the the little bit that you just

53:20

cut i doubt if you would like to i will take you up on that okay

53:28

ah not great i don't know really dice really hard man

53:36

four four yeah you're just not able to get through this rope

53:41

um it seems to be one of those knots that the more you pull on it the more it tightens

53:46

um and you're just not able to to get to it um zorkal he is going to take his two

53:52

actions to swing at the rope he sort of swings his his sword up and

53:59

it even buries itself a little bit into the pillar as it splits the rope as he uh moves his sword back down and drives

54:05

it through the rope at his feet um as he is now completely free he is going to

54:12

take his movement to run up towards these wooden sticks

54:17

next up zergath seeing that you are all free

54:24

a smile comes across his face as he runs back towards you now himself

54:30

being encapsulated by this uh this dome and he's going to run up to zorkhall as

54:37

he's the first one that's free and he's going to attempt to attack him

54:43

first one is a miss as he swings zorkhall just ducks under it and that second one is a miss too

54:50

um the second one the second one swings back around and zorkhall is able to

54:56

move his his shoulder punches here she goes down clinton

55:02

maybe we chose [Music] sort of ducks down and takes the blunt

55:08

force of this into his pauldron yeah

55:14

that's exactly what he does what are you doing

55:20

um my legs are still attached yes so can i slip out of that or do i have to

55:27

like like i just like you would be with your with the ankle

55:38

you are now completely free perfect i'm going to um just shift over to kellic and i'm going

55:45

to try to um

55:50

go to a position where i can capture both his arms and his with his one arm and his but his body yeah and really try

55:58

to um i'll look him in the face and say i'm sorry if i burn you all right

56:05

and um aim a firebolt right at the like where it would go between both his

56:10

body and his arm for sure i'm gonna have you roll the d4

56:17

[Music] three a three okay um

56:23

roll your damage yeah wait hold on

56:31

[Music] um 12 points of damage

56:36

okay you take six points apart that's all right you are free

56:51

um that was um a bonus action and an action and

56:57

i'm gonna move um

57:04

past kellick and another 15 feet closer to thaddeus

57:12

and all of our stuff nice nice okay all right you make your way in that

57:17

direction next up flynn uh i believe it's just my feet that are left that is correct uh i will uh use

57:24

one attack to get the feet okay um slice the feet uh ropes on free and i

57:30

will uh look over to kelly does he look like he's able to cast spells

57:36

um he looks like he's free yeah he's free free besides russia's brushing the fire off of my shoulders

57:42

shraya seems to be the only one who's still bound yeah you good you have you have a way to fix it i got an idea i will uh turn to see who

57:50

else is uh wrapped up still there's dwarves and helix good but try is the only one that is i'll uh from

57:57

your team i'll use my second attack to just run over to him and uh just kind of cut some of the

58:03

ropes remaining okay uh roll your damage uh that's

58:08

uh okay um that is enough sharaya you are now free at the hands and your body now

58:15

only your ankles are bound there you go buddy thank you

58:20

all right i'll be right over there and i'm gonna run over to sword call and just kind of shoulder shoulder and just kind of look up at him

58:27

does he look when he when i stand next to him and like get ready to fight his enemy he actually changes his stance um you

58:35

recognize the change in stance um from a like a dueling stance to a

58:43

stance that sentinels take when it is multiple sentinels versus a single

58:48

enemy would i know that stance to mirror that yes you i would also like to do

58:53

that super cool and i honestly what if you didn't know

58:59

what are you doing so i will i will take that stance as well as it's a multiple attack and i

59:04

will this is thanks merc across my face all right um next up

59:11

amara she is going to

59:17

continue she's going to continue turning the key

59:22

which opens this gate even further and further at this point you all feel

59:28

the temperature rise about 10 degrees as these waves of heat begin to emanate and you can see

59:35

these whips of fire that are coming out from this portal that is now

59:41

approaching almost 20 feet 30 feet wide you all look inside as she's casting

59:46

this and you start to see mountain ranges off in the distance

59:53

the orange burnt sky you can see rivers of lava and you can see some

59:59

creatures just off in the distance just dark shadows beginning to move

1:00:05

kellik uh it is your turn what are you doing um if i can uh like brace myself i

1:00:10

know my ankles are still bound if i could just brace myself up against this pillar yeah and get a good eyeline on these uh these wooden stakes

1:00:17

i would like to with a little just a little glance into the into the the

1:00:24

you said we could see this like burning um hellscape on the other side of this thing yes i was very clear at this point

1:00:30

i'm just going to take a look at that uh and then look off uh into the the middle

1:00:36

distance yeah i could use just just a little whatever you got give me whatever you got

1:00:42

and i'm gonna um cast the spell magic on the two pillars

1:00:49

um so any um spell of third level or lower automatically

1:00:55

ends and then that's on the target

1:01:01

um and then for each spell fourth level or higher i make an ability check using my modifier and the dc is 10 plus whatever

1:01:09

the spells level is that i'm trying to dispel okay um you all look as kellett cast this and as

1:01:16

he says his his verbal component um caleb you feel like you just cast this

1:01:21

thing like normal everyone else hears his voice

1:01:28

echo off of the pillars a point originating at these two stakes

1:01:34

that are driven into the ground an orange wave of energy boom

1:01:39

um shoots out from this point encompassing thanksgiving

1:01:46

encompassing zorco making its way all the way to amara and the portal and

1:01:53

you can see this portal that's opening slows and stops opening

1:02:00

flynn in front of you you see um you see zergath

1:02:06

and he's got his his maul in front of him and it's normally got like flames coming up from it flames completely go away

1:02:13

as if like a wind has blown and taken these flames away

1:02:19

and the two stakes that are in the ground go completely dormant yes

1:02:25

yes does the bubble go away around us the bubble goes away no

1:02:30

you can still see this this ball of energy where the necrotic damage had taken those those wisps of energy that

1:02:37

is still there but the effect is no longer there i will i will look around and give like a nod

1:02:44

okay all right all right that's the start yeah that is that's quite a start

1:02:49

i wasn't talking to you next up try it what would you like to do

1:02:55

i i'm turning my head away from the horrific image in front of me

1:03:01

as i bring my hands down grip the pillar try to wriggle my way

1:03:07

out of my feet bounds my talon bounce okay uh

1:03:13

the you're getting out of bounds yeah okay so that's a bonus action to slip out bonus actions to that then i

1:03:20

you have to go with me on this i tune into my brain and i whisper

1:03:25

druidic as if i'm whispering toward the center of the crystal in my staff

1:03:31

where are you speak to me try i'm gonna have you make uh a either

1:03:37

nature or kana check [Music] uh sixteen ninety sixteen you uh get a

1:03:43

direct bead on your staff it is um

1:03:48

up on the same platform that you had perished right next to that table that you were under

1:03:54

i uh uh do i still have move speed movement

1:04:00

yeah i'm going to drain my eye on it acutely whisper thank

1:04:06

you i'm gonna kick off from the ground and just whoosh myself immediately toward the

1:04:12

table as soon as i get enough height okay um what's your flight speed uh 60 feet

1:04:21

oh yeah you'd be able to get there for sure um and easy enough you reach down under the

1:04:27

table and grab your staff as i dive bomb toward it i pick it up in a sweeping motion as i twirl around and

1:04:35

level it uh and uh do i haven't my action oh that was a

1:04:42

bonus act no do i have any more action no you do not all right then that's my

1:04:47

turn i assume an uh offensive not offensive but an offensive

1:04:55

posture nobody's feelings are hurt by it okay

1:05:01

why are you shaking your bum [Music] um amara

1:05:06

is at the portal and and you see the portal in front of you no longer expanding though it is

1:05:13

about 35 feet um across at this point the expansion has slowed

1:05:20

next up zorkov he is going to reach down to

1:05:25

his sword tap it twice in a very similar motion to flynn

1:05:31

as green flames begin to to wisp off of this sword he is going to take two

1:05:36

attacks towards zergath that first one is going to hit

1:05:42

and that second one hits as well nice [Music]

1:05:50

okay as he swings that is gonna be six points of slashing damage

1:05:57

six plus seven that's gonna be 13 points of flashing damage plus an additional nice nice nice four

1:06:04

points a fire damage he's gonna swing around once more 12 points

1:06:10

of slashing damage um oma what are you doing um uh how does zerg look

1:06:17

um zergeth looks like he just took two pretty hefty hits but not too bad okay um

1:06:23

i'm gonna

1:06:30

run over to thaddeus nice okay you get there yeah because i saw i saw

1:06:36

what he tried to do earlier and i'm gonna turn him on

1:06:42

okay that is one action [Music]

1:06:48

[Laughter]

1:06:54

oh hi alma we're not dead i see that yeah pretty cool huh very

1:06:59

1:07:22

um and i don't have any bonus action things i can do other than say give like

1:07:28

a thumbs up to everybody okay flynn what are you doing um in a very similar fashion almost if i

1:07:36

could i would like to snap my fingers um and almost try and catch some of the

1:07:42

flames that were flicking off from these attacks and kind of take that momentum swipe it across my blade and come down

1:07:48

with a green plane bait as well okay awesome make your attack roll

1:07:55

that is a 18 and 18 hits um that is six

1:08:01

uh [Music]

1:08:07

14 points of damage altogether do you need the fires ever no i do not um

1:08:12

and then i will uh bonus action attack one more time okay

1:08:18

thirteen thirteen does not hit okay all right okay um and then i will

1:08:24

stay there next up amara um she once again turns the key as the

1:08:30

portal begins opening even more at a slower pace this time though as she reaches her hand back towards all of you

1:08:37

and almost reminiscent of the way hayfreed moves his platforms around she seems to

1:08:43

grab this ball of energy from out of the air and pull it closer towards her

1:08:49

as she brings it she sort of cups it between her hands this ball of that's about a foot in diameter

1:08:56

as she bows her head she kneels down towards this portal and raises it up

1:09:01

almost as a sacrificial offering

1:09:07

and as you see that you all look into this portal and you see this large lumbering figure

1:09:14

almost almost ape-like in its massive front legs and its smaller back legs

1:09:21

you can see this drooping face and on its back it's got almost what looks like an

1:09:28

erupting volcano as across its back there's this massive mound where lava is

1:09:33

dripping out it looks over and it appears to notice this ball of

1:09:39

energy this necrotic ball of energy that is floating there and it begins to move towards the portal next up calek

1:09:47

[Music]

1:09:54

[Music] how delicious does that goopy ball of necroticness look

1:10:00

to you or to a potential how how lava monster firm does it look in its in its

1:10:06

existence does it look like i if i took a chunk out of it it could i could dissipate it i know there's something

1:10:11

making it pretty broad question uh 16.

1:10:18

it looks like a ball of necrotic energy

1:10:26

take from that what you will okay i'm gonna i'm gonna take a wild

1:10:31

swinger i'm not gonna use my bonus action to remove my [ __ ]

1:10:37

yes i'm not gonna remove my i'm not gonna use my bonus action on that i'm going to cast healing word on the ball

1:10:42

of the chronicles

1:10:48

[Music]

1:10:59

1:11:05

[Music] uh sick that's silly uh

1:11:10

and then for my action

1:11:16

i would like [Music] to

1:11:21

channel divinity and uh open up some some some rifts to the urgent

1:11:28

planes and uh cast um path to the grave

1:11:35

uh to curse uh zergath uh if he's within 30 feet of me which he is

1:11:42

he is uh until the end of my next turn the next time me or an ally hits the cursed creature with an attack

1:11:48

the creature has vulnerability to all of that attack damage repeat that one more time the next

1:11:53

attack that hits uh within my next turn as he's cursed uh they're vulnerable so

1:11:58

they'll take double okay very cool for just that attacker for until your next turn for just that attack the next time you

1:12:05

or an ally hits the cursed creature with an attack the next attack okay okay yeah yeah

1:12:11

and uh and i'm just gonna stay leaning against my pillar with my bound feet

1:12:17

as the this carries on that'll be my turn that is your turn

1:12:23

next up this beast lumbers closer

1:12:28

as it gets even closer you keep thinking to yourself [Music]

1:12:33

surely it can't get any closer surely that's its actual size and it's close to the portal oh no

1:12:40

but alas it keeps moving closer and closer to the portal and keeps getting bigger and bigger

1:12:47

shraya what are you doing uh i uh grip my staff tightly

1:12:54

as i kick off the ground and dive back toward

1:13:00

where flynn and zorkhall and zurgathar in mid-air i uh

1:13:07

charge up my staff uh as you as it pulses with and this purple pink uh

1:13:14

sheen glows over it uh and i'm going to dive bomb and bring it down

1:13:21

on top of uh zergath okay make an attack roll [Music]

1:13:29

22 22 hits great he's vulnerable to this damage that's

1:13:35

true uh that is look

1:13:43

[Music] uh six points of arcane damage

1:13:48

um and as you uh swing this staff uh the the um

1:13:56

rifts that i've opened up around him uh are seeping these like uh

1:14:02

ashes onto zergath and they slowly coalesce where your

1:14:08

uh staff hits to like literally peel back the flesh in that

1:14:13

area as you make this damage and it doubles oh doubles

1:14:20

[Music] next up zorkhall

1:14:26

he is going to take just two swings

1:14:32

that first one is a miss but that second one he makes contact and drives his sword into his chest

1:14:38

[Music] that is going to be [Music]

1:14:48

12 points of slashing damage he makes contact on that second one and that is going to be in total

1:14:55

15 points of damage as uh [Music]

1:15:01

zergath begins bleeding out of both nostrils next up is zergath

1:15:07

he is going to swing around at flynn one more time bring it on his favorite target

1:15:13

uh that first one is a 13 to hit nice that next one is a 21 to hit

1:15:20

i would like to use a second level slot to cast shield okay cause i don't look cool okay

1:15:26

it deflects off the shield yeah oma what are you doing

1:15:31

um yeah um i see that caleb did something to the the

1:15:39

ball and that giant monster looks terrifying so i'm going to run

1:15:45

um towards door um so that um so that thaddeus can do something

1:15:52

yeah but but then i'm also and i'm just gonna like place him on the ground okay free action just place him on the ground

1:15:58

and pat him on the head and then i'm going to look back at caleb

1:16:04

and look at the um the ball of um of um necrotic energy up and i'm gonna

1:16:12

do something really stupid and i'm gonna um

1:16:17

rub my hands together and open them up to um a warbling mass of energy and um

1:16:24

going kind of crazy inside of it and i'm gonna throw a chaos bolt at the

1:16:30

ball of necrotic is that a roll from me or you me okay

1:16:35

make that roll um 16 to hit by 16 hits

1:16:41

what kind of damage is it oh yeah we're going to stop yet if it's necrotic

1:16:52

um 13 points of

1:16:58

lightning damage okay yep it seems to not take the full force of

1:17:04

it but you you definitely diminished it in size as these two balls of energy come together i'm gonna have you roll a

1:17:11

wild magic check okay you can take it away i have to beat the

1:17:25

are you choosing to save on this huh she has a free one because she meditated

1:17:31

mm-hmm she's got a freebie do you want to do it are you gonna have to still roll again or is that it no yeah left to roll again she'll have to

1:17:37

really have a [ __ ] off i will use my meditation to dismiss the wild magic and it makes it a one

1:17:43

yeah so now you have to roll and beat a one okay that's good i mean i banished somebody last time i

1:17:49

do some really good never been bad for me what does it look like when when you when you dismiss it

1:17:55

yeah i feel the wild magic start to explode out of me and i take a deep breath and i and i center myself

1:18:03

and i remember my meditation and my body calms

1:18:09

six nice okay nice you are now at a 2.

1:18:16

flint yeah what are you doing um how does uh

1:18:23

zordon he looks like he's getting pretty beat up

1:18:29

and how close does this behemoth of a creature look like it's does it look like it's getting there it's it might be

1:18:36

getting close guys what do we do i don't know it's not a rhetorical question

1:18:42

i got this guy you guys got whatever that is and i'll point to the portal no we don't got it i think that's a

1:18:48

disproportionate measurement i will uh look to zorkhall and kind of give him a nod

1:18:54

got this i got this someone's gotta get the key and i will

1:19:00

just book it okay towards the key i see the key right you see the key i will poke it towards

1:19:05

the key that is an attack of opportunity yes it is gonna be a 13 to hit i missed swinging

1:19:11

as i'm running i kind of lift my sword back and kind of just okay let it deflect off as i run away

1:19:18

you are able to make it right up next to amara where she has the key in the the uh the pillar um

1:19:26

i will attack [Music] the key

1:19:32

it's a metal key and a stone pillar do whatever you want i will is she like holding it in there she is not currently

1:19:38

holding she is currently holding up this this offering i'll just try and take it out then

1:19:43

okay i'll reach up and try and pull the key out okay um it gives you a little bit of resistance but then after a

1:19:50

second you pull it out of this this pillar and you see that there is still like magma all dripping

1:19:57

off of it and the rest of you feel the ground begin to shake as the portal closes

1:20:02

slowly it's not all the way close but it's starting to starting to close as amara looks directly at you i will put

1:20:09

the key in my pocket come at me okay um you take [Music]

1:20:16

three points of fire damage has this thing with hot magma still on it and sears through uh your pocket and onto

1:20:22

your leg okay i did i didn't go ahead okay all right uh is it still gonna sear me on the leg should i take it out of my

1:20:28

pocket um you're good for now i'm good okay i'll leave it there i didn't know it was covered in mine okay

1:20:35

you gotta listen i thought maggie was coming out of the hole not on the key next time laura sticky though

1:20:42

right take it off first amara looks flynn to you

1:20:53

she is going to she's got a lot of really dangerous

1:20:59

stuff she's actually going to try and grapple you she's going to make a grapple check so she's currently like holding this

1:21:06

thing above her head and then when she let's go to go to grapple me what does the ball just stay just it's fine it just continues floating um so i'm going

1:21:12

to need either athletics or acrobatics from you got it as she

1:21:17

yeah hey she rolls a natural let's go

1:21:23

um so she reaches out to try and grab that and she's not able to grab it that's my

1:21:28

sort of entire turn [Music] okay next up the portal continues to

1:21:35

close it is now only 20 feet across um [Music]

1:21:41

let's see thaddeus is going to once again cast command as

1:21:47

his mouth opens up and you hear stop stop stop [Music]

1:21:54

zergath uh zergath fails

1:22:01

yes there we go as zergeth whips around and looks at thaddeus and all of a sudden like he's

1:22:07

in a trance goes limp and his hand goes limp and he drops his maul

1:22:14

to the ground [Music]

1:22:20

next up i'm going to use my bonus action to undo my there you go

1:22:27

you are free nice nice dude so good

1:22:33

what are you gonna do oh man i don't know seeing zergath

1:22:39

lose his uh agency to use an appropriate word

1:22:45

uh i'm going to uh scurry up to oma mm-hmm oh give me one of those coins

1:22:52

the coins are in my pocket are they still there yeah oh yeah and she give one to him yeah reaction

1:22:59

let's go i'm gonna pull one of the coins out and give it to kelly i snatch it and without even giving her a second look

1:23:04

i'm gonna leap over to zergath and smack it onto his face

1:23:13

[Music] holy crap [Music]

1:23:30

somewhere in another space in time

1:23:50

what are you doing as this portal continues to close amara appearing to be the only hostile creature remaining

1:23:57

uh i am um going to yeah i don't even have any

1:24:03

things that i could uh i i raised the staff above my head

1:24:09

it's there's a massive energy above those hands i'm gonna

1:24:15

look to the center of my staff as i kick off from the ground and twirl

1:24:21

around in a spiral as i drive my staff into the middle of the mass yeah okay kill that mass

1:24:30

kill it just make an attack roll right [Music] oh wow uh

1:24:35

that's uh 26. that hits yeah for sure roll your damage and that's gonna be

1:24:43

uh that's still five points of our kick down okay and it appears uh as though

1:24:50

the presence of trey's crystal staff in the middle of this ball completely

1:24:55

dissipates it as like a balloon it pops and all of the energy is dissipated go

1:25:00

team let's go let's go dude yeah i uh spring back with the staff

1:25:06

then twirl back down and sweep and shroud my shroud myself in

1:25:11

my wingspan as just my uh staff gets forward in point

1:25:17

said amara okay let's go my head is hidden by my wings the only

1:25:23

thing poking out of my wings is the tip of my staff very phalanx like balance with an x

1:25:30

try everything offensive stance again very but not quite that offensive

1:25:36

okay um next up is zorkol he uh seeing this

1:25:41

creature has disappeared from in front of him um his eyes quickly focus once more on

1:25:48

amara his new target as he takes his movement to run up the stairs in a sprinting

1:25:55

motion um leaping up into the air and with a driving force

1:26:02

um pushes his landing foot deep into the ground casting thunder wave at amara

1:26:08

yeah yeah um and probably flynn

1:26:13

he angles it just so that flynn is not affected by this oh that's nice of him interesting yeah he didn't used to do

1:26:19

that i mean you did rescue that is what we call character development

1:26:26

[Music] she very much fails that saving throw um and

1:26:32

so she is going to take 13 points of thunder damage as she is

1:26:40

pushed back directly under this portal right there directly under this portal

1:26:47

um and she is now prone you can see her looking up at this portal of flames as

1:26:53

the flames begin to whip and her close proximity to it you can see starting to like um blister her skin

1:27:02

as she takes an additional 15 points of fire damage

1:27:10

zergath is gone so oma what are you doing yeah yeah i'm gonna run 30 feet forward okay

1:27:16

and i'm gonna yell at her from where i am soon to be

1:27:22

i'm gonna say hey amara we gotta stop meeting like this and i'm going to create a whirling mass and

1:27:29

throw a chaos bolt at her with the intention to like push her more with it with hopefully i get force

1:27:36

sure i'll just force push yeah we'll say it doesn't make an attack to

1:27:42

throw it with enough force um yeah second level [Music]

1:27:50

uh 16 uh 16 hits yes okay um it is i need another one because

1:27:57

it's second left wowza okay um

1:28:03

22 points of one moment please 22 points of

1:28:12

thunder dance oh okay actually

1:28:18

all right now i'm gonna have you roll for wild magic you have to beat it too [Music]

1:28:24

oh

1:28:31

yeah i'll say that you're the thunder damage um is is just enough to push her

1:28:37

the additional couple of inches to get her directly under the portal

1:28:42

this is on the line she is directly underneath this portal and with that she

1:28:48

takes an additional [Music] oh when you're directly under the portal

1:28:54

that is not a place you want to be [Music] cool she takes an additional 54 points

1:29:01

of fire damage is that the most points of damage any one individual has put on a lot i think so

1:29:07

you can see her skin bubbling and blistering as she squirms for a moment

1:29:13

and then falls limp as just above her the portal completely closes and vanishes

1:29:19

does it take her with her when it vanishes it does not amara is now laying there unconscious

1:29:24

i pull another key from my pocket are we out of initiative you are now out of nowhere i'm gonna run up to her

1:29:30

okay and i'm gonna pat her on the head and i go put the key on her forehead the

1:29:36

coin sorry i'm gonna put the coin on her forehead okay

1:29:41

she disappears and as a gentle quiet once again overtakes these dakir ruins

1:29:49

that is where we're gonna end this session oh man should we have

1:29:55
