Oma and I'm your DM Ethan welcome to venture fourth [Music]

0:37

foreign [Music]

0:53

of a fallen shria deep into a red Forest once you got to him you discovered that

0:59

he was Gravely injured and needed assistance once he was stabilized you all heard the

1:06

story of how Shri had met with Flynn's friend Kalin and how they had attempted to stop

1:13

a hooded figure but once they attempted to return back to saddlemount

1:18

they were attacked Kailyn was taken by a hooded figure and Shri was Gravely injured and as he tried

1:25

to get back to saddle mount he just couldn't make it you all camped out for the night although throughout the night some

1:33

mysterious things began to happen as some of your items and materials began

1:38

disappearing after kellik tracked one of these items to an outcropping in an ancient ruin

1:45

within this red Forest you were all called out by chath as Flynn steps out from the tree line

1:52

with thessaly shria and ulma by his side what would

1:58

you all like to do uh I'm just taking in the atmosphere of this area um

2:05

isn't anything seem off as I'm walking up towards the voice of chess

2:10

off in what way um like traps or do I do I notice any type of uh setups that maybe they're an

2:17

ambush or do I notice anything like that um make an make a perception check

2:22

[Music] right uh that is a 10 total ten you

2:31

don't notice anything uh too suspicious as you're looking forward you look around and you see all of the ruins that

2:38

are around you of this ancient city all of them covered by this red moss and

2:43

Vines and the red trees all around you you can't spot any traps

2:50

I'll just kind of look back to my group and give Australia a little ruffle on his head

2:55

all right Focus up guys and I'll step forward into the line of

3:01

sight of Jeff all right um and yes as you step forward chath blocks eyes with you

3:10

well what what are you doing Flynn I think that there are things that

3:17

are going on here that um are beyond your scope

3:22

and I just I just asked you remain calm don't do anything rash

3:29

you better have a pretty good explanation more than happy to explain if the rest of your friends want to come

3:35

out of the woods and reveal themselves I'll be more than happy to have a conversation

3:40

uh look over to Eleanor and Nessa what do they seem to be doing

3:46

um you look over and Nessa seems to be just sort of stepping forward a little bit

3:53

and Eleanor has just begun sort of sidestepping back and around Chad

4:00

um just keep looking at you but sort of uh moving to the side

4:07

I'll uh step forward um [Music]

4:13

at this uh call out from chath I'll just give a steadying look over to Seeker uh just to intimate we're not moving an

4:20

inch okay I'm gonna have uh seeker and Kellick make a stealth check for me I'm

4:27

um I assume our pack that's with Flynn our we're walking forward with him okay right yeah

4:33

yep it's an 18 for kellock well hey yo a little less for Seeker

4:42

17. 17. all right I start growling at chath and he's like ready my like ready

4:50

my feet and uh and like limbs in a like about to pounce position I want to

4:56

sidestep um shria so that I can make a triangle with Flynn and thessaly

5:04

um okay yeah for sure and if there's uh any cannot is there any route to circumvent

5:11

this to try and get closer to the uh stashed equipment that we could

5:17

be taking for sure so in order for Kelly and Seeker to get there the most covered way to do that would probably be to head

5:24

back around to the path that you guys approached on and go over to that Northern side looking ahead of you you

5:30

can see that there is this little clearing that Flynn and the rest of the party have just stepped into where chath

5:35

is and it's it's sort of this Crossroads where it makes a little T at this

5:41

opening so right in front of you you do have an open path that in order to cross it you would be exposing yourself we

5:47

would have to go behind where they just approached from that is correct okay well in that case uh I'm going I would

5:55

rather go the opposite direction to try and get a sort of flanking position on

6:01

uh I would like to move in the direction of of lnr who's over on uh so in order to

6:07

do that you guys would need to cross over this open path so Seeker are you going with him

6:13

I would sort of you would notice me looking in that direction to try and spot whatever route we could take uh

6:19

yeah so but as you I would as you start to make that step I would I grab your arm as almost to to stop you and I'm and

6:29

sort of jolted by that and you feel a pulse of or there is a pulse of just

6:36

purplish energy that kind of Coach your arm for a second it's very cool very Cooling and that's about it and you have

6:43

uh you now have initiative advantage on initiative and then I will follow you

6:49

uh into the pathway all right and I will put my my finger up to my lip

6:56

as if you don't know as you're both going to cross over into

7:03

this path I'm going to have you make another stealth check as you are now breaking your cover

7:12

14 10. we're doing all right

7:17

um you both dashed to the other side of this path taking cover behind a another ruined building

7:26

nothing seems to change to do any um do I hear

7:33

is there anything do I hear from that what's your passive perception um 13.

7:38

so yes you would I am going to um

7:43

um in the other direction behind our behind our staff kind of like or or

7:49

behind where we came from I'm going to

7:55

cough and like behind my back throw a fire bolt in that direction

8:01

um to like but like I don't want it to seem like I'm throwing a fireball I'm so I want it to be very like

8:10

stealthily definitely yeah before I say this check just know that

8:16

you currently have three sets of eyes on you so I'm not gonna work I'm gonna have

8:22

you make a sleight of hand check at disadvantage okay one second eleven

8:30

um as soon as you do this so it just takes like two steps over

8:37

towards you and is sort of like lines up with your party

8:43

crosses her arms and is standing there sort of facing the same way that you are facing chath

8:48

and not even looking at you just sort of leans over and out of the side of her mouth goes nice sorry sometimes I can't

8:55

control anything it just happens I don't really know and as that is happening Eleanor continues to circumvent around

9:03

chaff I'll um hold my hand up to Nessa as she approaches Oma hold on

9:12

I have to hear them out you know I can't control this it just happened I was just coughing I had something in my throat these redwoods are just like really

9:19

acting with my like lungs a lot like I just

9:24

guys come out we're already here

9:29

we're all right here Flynn what are you talking about as Eleanor passes behind

9:34

chath just because chath is a very large being

9:40

um he passes behind chath and you lose sight of Illinois for just a brief moment do we see him moving no you're on

9:46

the other side of a building right now okay but as Eleanor passes behind chat and right as you lose sight of him you

9:52

do not see him come out the other side yay

9:58

guys we're listening Flynn just let them talk

10:09

[Music] want to understand thank you

10:14

how many beasts have you killed so far

10:21

like five six seven I don't know why [Music]

10:28

I saw that you had slain the Cyclops

10:33

yeah very impressive thanks

10:40

would you classify a cyclops as a beast

10:46

because it's causing trouble and violence and harming people

10:52

yeah interesting

10:57

so we agree that if something is causing harm and violence hurting people

11:03

[Music] we have a duty to correct that I've been taught

11:09

now I'm sure that you saw as you were fighting the Cyclops

11:15

they have a certain level of intelligence yes kind of so where do we draw the line

11:25

between a cyclops and say an elf

11:34

but that's not our job says who

11:39

where is that line Flynn where do we draw it what creature do we deem intelligent

11:45

enough to not slay and what creature do we deem just below

11:51

that line to where we have the right to [Music] not an elf not a person why not

12:00

because we had monsters what is a monster

12:06

if not something that as you described hurts people Causes Chaos so that's it

12:14

that's why that's your justification no Flynn that is the beginning

12:20

of my explanation [Music]

12:26

we do not have a right as a a group as a collective

12:35

to deem what deserves to live and what doesn't

12:41

we do not have the right to determine what is being chaotic and what is serving its

12:49

own interests and Flynn we do not have the right to judge these things

12:56

where is this coming from I've never heard you talk like this before

13:01

this comes from years and decades and generations of of us hiding

13:08

in the shadows thinkings that we're making a difference by

13:13

killing a beast here and there makes no difference yes we save people

13:21

every once in a while and and we we stop the killing of of what a handful of

13:29

people I'm telling another thing that's not enough Flynn it's too much is what I'm saying

13:37

what do you mean we need to start positioning ourselves in a place where we can affect real

13:44

change and not by taking up swords and not by lighting things on fire but by

13:50

taking the life of Sentinels that is the first step yes if we see that something

13:56

is causing chaos and killing things unnecessarily it is our job to take them out yes we get our hands bloodied for a

14:04

brief moment but the way that we have been doing things for years

14:10

is continuing to bloody our hands every single day not accomplishing anything

14:15

only with the goal of bloodying our hands the next day I am doing it now with an end goal in mind I am going to

14:22

eliminate everyone who thinks that they have a right to choose who gets to live

14:28

or die and yes I'm going to dirty my hands at that for the moment but once it is over I promise you it will be done

14:35

and then I will take the iron light and position us in a new position of power where we can affect real change across

14:43

the lands Institute real change within government and not have to go around

14:49

searching for creatures to kill could I um while he's going through that could I try and read anything off of his

14:57

does this seem like the chat I know does it seem like something has changed him or or changed his mind or does he seem

15:04

like he's acting differently [Music]

15:09

in secret here this this diatribe yes it's it's pretty

15:15

just just at this I'm just gonna like I'm assuming me and secret are making eye contact I'm just gonna like screw my

15:21

face up with kind of like surprise and uh like

15:27

uh Amusement I guess would be the word Flynn I have been

15:33

approached time and time again by

15:39

noblemen and people in power real power

15:45

asking me to be their bodyguard and as I'm sure you

15:52

would have known if you had continued in the iron light you get approached

15:58

to become a a sell sword and a bodyguard and and things that mean so little but

16:06

it's protection and with my plan that I'm going to put in place

16:13

we will change our role to just that to be the Servants of others and to

16:20

lower ourselves to that point to where we can wait and bite our time

16:26

and climb the ladder gain trust within the organizations that are currently

16:32

running the world that are currently screwing up the world with this pointless war and are doing a terrible

16:39

job of governing people to where we can impart ourselves into those institutions

16:44

themselves and this may not happen in my lifetime or your lifetime or even the lifetime of

16:51

any elves that live but eventually we will be positioned in a spot

16:57

where we can stop institutions like the iron light from ever killing what doesn't need

17:04

killing we only kill what needs to be killed and if you want to leave the iron light go ahead that's what I'm saying

17:09

who are you to be the judge of that yeah how long have you trained but now you can judge to kill Sentinels

17:15

to dirty my hands for the time being to take a better future of course that's how it starts because what are you doing

17:22

right now Flynn you are killing things and what's what's the but you kill uh uh

17:27

What uh you kill a cyclops and then you move on what are you now going to do to

17:34

keep other cyclopses from from killing there is nothing that you do you kill and then you move on there's nothing

17:39

that you leave in your wake that leaves behind something better Chas

17:46

you okay it has an end Golf Link that is the difference between what you are doing right now and what I am doing

17:52

right now I don't know how long it's going to take what about it will end I

17:57

promise you that I don't need an end goal this is the end goal so your your end goal then is to kill for killing's

18:03

sake my angle is to protect the innocent to help those that are getting then do something that affects real change I am

18:10

I'll point to the wolf standing next to me well right now so he's not normally a

18:16

wolf he's some he's normally you know shriya right so this is anyway

18:21

because of me and because of the rest of us he's still here and his his tribe is

18:28

okay and I take gratitude and comfort in knowing that we had a role in that and

18:35

it doesn't need to be some Grand gesture or some massive end goal of changing the whole world I'm content with just

18:41

protecting people and helping those that are in need I don't understand why you're changing

18:46

if that is what you are content with then unfortunately you are not thinking big enough Flynn you are not thinking of

18:54

real protection we can Implement institutions not by a sword Flynn not by

19:00

by Blood that's exactly what you're doing I don't understand why you can't just leave and go do that why do you

19:06

have to kill all the Sentinels they're doing something good we don't have to kill all of them fling we have to kill the ones that are killing senselessly it

19:14

is it is a a cancer manifesting itself and it is growing and the numbers of it

19:20

are becoming too much to handle we need to cut out that cancer we will save what

19:25

we can and I'm hoping you are part of what we can save

19:31

some with our our content with living in their caves and and waiting for some

19:39

tragedy to happen we only kill things once something has already killed that

19:45

is another part of of the problem is we only track down beasts that have already

19:52

done something wrong the death is already there Flynn we are just adding one more body to the total to prevent

19:58

others says who [Music] a thief a farmer expands his land

20:07

on to that of a manticore and her babies

20:12

that meanticore kills the farmer to protect her Young

20:19

as that Manticore sees the farmer as a threat encroaching on her land

20:25

now are you saying you have a right to go and kill that Manticore who was going to go off and after that farm was no

20:32

longer expanding was going to go and live peacefully with her children

20:37

are you going to deprive that manticore's children of a mother who is just protecting them

20:43

is what you are doing Flynn I hate to say it but that is what you are doing I see what you're saying and I know

20:50

I know it's not perfect but we just fix it why don't we just fix

20:55

it instead of killing it how Flynn I don't know right now Flynn how long have you been at the iron light

21:02

not as long as you precisely I have seen the systems that are currently in place at the iron light

21:08

and it is impossible to change from within only something drastic like this

21:14

can change it and

21:20

I'm sorry um I'm not part of the iron light but I

21:25

just have a question just just a little baby question do you mind if I ask I I don't mind at all okay

21:31

um let's go back to the farm and the man's of course just for two seconds um what is your suggestion on how to

21:37

solve that problem because and I'm just I've been listening to everything and I'm just trying to process it and like

21:43

you're like oh we're gonna be servants to people in power and then we're gonna slowly become the people in

21:50

power um what is your recommendation for stopping a farmer from growing farmlands

21:55

into Manticore areas because that doesn't really seem like any government can really control that

22:01

very well especially when you're killing off everybody who would eventually be part of your leadership team so I just

22:06

don't really understand like what you are hoping to do what's your platform like what are you hoping to do in that

22:11

circumstance if you are where you want to be and you are now like on top of the

22:18

mountain deciding what happens with everything what exactly would you do to make sure that that farmer doesn't grow

22:23

that land into the Manticore for the first time I've been serious this whole time talking to Chad and hearing Alma go

22:30

through that and probably seeing chat's reaction height crack a little bit of a smirk for the first time as Oma asks

22:35

that question Flynn what was your Insight um I got a 19 a 19. okay

22:40

um Flynn in the beginning of your training at the iron light Castle um you had noticed that chath had sort

22:48

of over the time that you were training there had become a little bit more

22:54

critical a little bit more um abrasive towards any new students

23:00

that he was training um you noticed over time is tough to

23:05

tell but now that you're looking back at it you can you can definitely notice a gradual change over time in his

23:12

um it just in his daily disposition he seemed to every day

23:18

change become a little bit more aggressive but also a little bit more

23:23

dismissive towards the institution of the iron light um and especially in in what you've seen

23:30

over in the last month um his criticisms of mellorue have sort of

23:37

become more public he's he's more comfortable talking to you about and Belarus sort of

23:43

uh being not a very great person and and it seemed that he sort of

23:49

um his his trust in the iron light seemed to be withering a little bit

23:54

when you have a group as broken as the iron light

24:02

you see that there are troubles Within

24:07

magikoras are intelligent creatures and although they do not stand on two legs

24:13

they have just as much capability of conversing and having a family

24:20

if you see something within the iron light [Music] that is a mindset of

24:29

killing first and asking questions later perhaps my solution is not the perfect

24:36

one and I continue to to question myself every day

24:42

but if you see something that is wrong with the essential bones of the iron

24:47

light is it not then my duty to try and radically change

24:55

what those bones are and and yes I

25:02

may be misguided for the moment but I see a brighter future not for me not for the iron light

25:09

but for the creatures that the Sentinels would kill

25:15

I see a brighter future for that magical who might have a second chance if someone like me

25:22

or like Nessa or like Illinois or

25:28

anyone to give that creature a second chance

25:33

and to ask questions first and choose violence at a much later date

25:39

only necessary is that not my

25:45

not just my right but is that not my Duty totally I mean like I completely

25:52

agree with you I don't like the iron light anyway I have never understood why I have never

26:00

understood why they were killing monsters to begin with because like you know I don't eat meat that often because

26:06

like Kelly was talking to me about it and they were talking about it so like so like I get it but you still didn't

26:11

answer my question like what's your plan what are you doing with the Manticore you're gonna go talk to it but like oh I

26:17

could give you some suggestions um you could be you could make like shelters and you could make like commune so it's

26:24

like this is the land for the wild animals and creatures that are still intelligent but like they're separate

26:30

from other people but then you're separating them still because you're not putting them on the same stature you're

26:36

not judging them as equal you know so like in that situation what are you gonna do

26:42

you know like I get it it's a tough question but I just think that like maybe you should go back to the drawing

26:48

board a little bit create your own second Community build up that since you're killing everybody who's part of

26:54

the iron light anyway you might as well just like start fresh build some people

27:00

build a I don't know you could call them like the light Bringers Judy bound I

27:06

don't know like call whatever you want to call them and like be separate and do your own thing and then like

27:12

and then you've got your like own thing you don't have to kill people you know because like you're fighting to not kill Mantic Wars but you're killing like

27:19

elves and everyone else so like why don't you just like because while I kill one Sentinel

27:25

I am then saving maybe this month five beasts that they

27:30

will then kill sure but the Cyclops was like gonna kill me you know like when you can just go and find a cyclops to

27:36

kill the Cyclops was gonna kill me so it was like me or him at that point you know you as you've said you do not know the

27:43

iron like you do not know our protocols and our procedures Flynn is one of the

27:50

more patient of the Sentinels [Music] nearly all of them in our organization

28:00

seek out the fight not all of them are as patient as Flynn to wait until a friend or a a member of

28:08

of a community or or anyone is in danger a lot of them will hear rumors

28:16

off in the forest of a terrible Beast that is frightening a town hasn't done a

28:24

single thing yet but merely the fear that is culminated from it a sentinel will act on that and

28:30

thinking that they are protecting this community from a threat will go and seek

28:36

that violence and that is what is taught

28:41

at the iron light Castle well you can stop teaching them how to fight though and start teaching I don't know protectors you could start teaching

28:47

monster protectors you know you're a great Fighter for the last 15 years

28:53

I have tried that teach them outside of the iron light

29:00

because these are people who are joining it wanting to kill monsters like thank you Oma I appreciate it and I

29:06

agree Chad you're trying this alone with a small

29:11

group I want to help but what you're doing killing others on

29:17

the island like that can't be the answer it can't be it has to be it can for now

29:24

especially with the new members coming up me Kalyn Evelyn Zord call here

29:33

we would definitely listen to you I don't understand why you took this path

29:40

I look up to you this is a path that I am trying to

29:45

explain and offer to anyone I don't go around killing Sentinels as they kill

29:51

beasts I go around offering them an opportunity to do something greater and

29:57

if they refuse then they're an obstacle that stands in our way in the way of progress in the

30:04

way of what we want to accomplish and what we need to accomplish for all of those creatures who are not able to

30:10

speak for themselves and if the Baseline of intelligence for you is a creature

30:15

who can speak I can tell you from my personal experience that that should not be the line

30:20

[Music] and if you do not agree with that

30:26

[Music] Flynn I I'm sorry to say

30:32

I I will not kill you but

30:37

[Music] you will not be able to stand in our way and as he says that Kellick and Seeker

30:47

um you both feel just sort of like a pat on your back

30:53

as you turn around and see Eleanor there secret you already gave me the oh you guys want to come and join the

30:59

conversation I feel like there might be some some value in hearing two other opinions we're all right back here

31:06

here

31:13

all right yeah all right we're coming okay all right and he sort of leads you to

31:19

um down onto the path that you had crossed and um sort of into this this Center

31:25

outcropping of trees like students being brought to the principal's office Eleanor is is walking in front of you he

31:32

does not turn around to see if you are following him um he's just sort of guiding you in um

31:38

it seems that that there isn't any he's not following you from the rear there doesn't seem to be any hostilities at

31:44

the moment but we can see him now yes you can as soon as I see them I go oh my goodness I

31:54

um I will never stop committing

32:00

uh how far into the camp do you want to go Illinois sort of passes uh by the

32:06

front of chath and um starts to uh make his way towards the corner of two other ruined buildings

32:12

where are you two positioning yourself it is a set of ruins yeah yes is there sort of a like a a port call us or

32:18

breach on the wall here I would just probably line up with that oh yeah there are walls that are half destroyed sort

32:25

of um yeah leaning height yeah I would basically just try to line myself up like parallel with whatever breaking the

32:32

wall that just for sure vague sense of security at it all right secret where are you going

32:37

oh good I'll do the same thing and uh maybe if chath looks over just kind of

32:43

just wave awkwardly all right Flynn

32:49

I'm going to give you one opportunity will you join our cause which I promise

32:56

you is a good cause or are you going to stand in our way

33:03

because [Music] Flynn we are going to go and continue making this offer to other Sentinels and

33:09

if they do not join us or if they do not stand down I promise you they will die

33:15

Are you standing with me or against me Chad I want to help

33:21

I want to make this right and I want to fix the iron link but

33:26

I can't let you go on to kill more Sentinels and I'll go to summon my sword

33:33

and all three of them summon their swords and my sword doesn't show up right that is correct

33:39

but they see the motion of it um if I might

33:45

uh hello [Laughter] uh

33:50

I sort of look at Flynn and Chapman and Illinois and uh um um Nessa

33:56

oh Manny centers are there but it you know rough estimate

34:04

at this point a couple hundred

34:09

so many number of them have decided to join us

34:16

and we can't have any opposing us though [Music] so the proposal is to

34:22

kill potentially hundreds in order to

34:27

correct in order to save thousands I understand that thousands into the

34:32

future right um the the problem you're intending to sell as I understand it is

34:39

seems like a cultural thing amongst the iron light Collective and [Music] isn't that just a matter of leadership

34:46

isn't that doesn't have to do with how you manage the requisite I I thought

34:52

thousands and thousands of letters in there and nobody goes through those to see which ones are asking for an

34:57

assassination effort or a murder of a an a devious evil demon from the hills

35:04

there's there are lots of uh other ways to address this I sat

35:11

in that damned room for nearly 10 years

35:17

Flynn long before you came to the iron light and myself within that room I did not

35:23

take up posts in a city or a town I took a post in that room

35:31

and I was the only one who ever went in there none of them a care

35:36

some of them now after explanation are seeing the damage that we have done but

35:43

the rest of them they don't care if they cared

35:51

they wouldn't be living their life in a cave waiting for

35:58

a beast to wander by for them to slay they would be going to where people are

36:04

pleading for help honest help not to to kill

36:09

not to hunt down a creature that does not deserve to die but to help

36:16

a genuine help to negotiate misunderstandings to

36:22

relocate a family in need [Music]

36:28

there is even [Music] in the world of outboard

36:35

that is to be that is dealt with and it is not only amongst

36:43

creatures with teeth in class it lingers in the hearts of

36:49

people that are born alongside us certainly

36:54

if that is the thing that is poisoning the iron light then I think your problem goes beyond killing a certain number of

37:00

sentence no it goes to the highest powers

37:07

on elabor to the

37:13

to The councils Who send off thousands of men and women to

37:19

die on the warfront every single day and trust me that is not beyond my view

37:27

that is not something that I readily ignore

37:32

that is merely another step on the journey that I wish to take the iron light Collective

37:40

chat can I call you Chad

37:46

yes hi so how long were you a part of the iron light Collective like how many

37:53

years has it been now I'm just curious been just over 50 years 50

38:02

50. that change needed to happen to more Dynamic fashion

38:09

you could say I first noticed it right before I became a sentinel

38:18

I left the castle to

38:24

kill beasts in order to come back and make myself a sentinel

38:31

and I met up with my old teacher [Music]

38:37

The Man Who Would told me of the iron light and who had inspired me to

38:44

to commit change I met up with him and he was someone

38:50

that would taught me for a few months before sending me off to the iron light

38:55

somewhere I saw as a hero someone I saw as a person who I wanted to be

39:05

I went back to him and I told him that I was nearly graduated that I was nearly a sentinel

39:13

he welcomed me with open arms and took me on a hunt [Music]

39:19

he had seen tracks of a creature named a slide

39:26

and [Music] I was simply at the tracks

39:31

and in his mind in that moment he had determined that this was a creature that needed to be killed and so we joyously

39:40

tracked down that creature and we joyously plunged our swords into its hide

39:46

that was not what when we pulled our swords it was dead it was it was laying there

39:52

we spent the next 10 minutes cutting off its head as I grabbed it

39:58

by the skin of its cheek didn't put it in a bag

40:04

my mentor didn't help me carry it I dragged it I dragged

40:10

that creature's head back to the iron light Castle

40:17

I believe that is when I felt a change that something needed to

40:23

happen it took me time to realize what that was

40:30

but now I fully realize what I need to do and how we need to accomplish that

40:37

and to make sure that no one no one like Flynn no one

40:43

like myself and no one leaves the iron light castle with the goal of dragging a head back in order

40:51

for a stupid [ __ ] pauldron but chaff

40:59

when was the first time you took action against the things that you saw

41:06

when did you start reaching out to these people and I'm going to gesture to the

41:11

human woman and if he's still visible the half Elven man yes he is he is now visible

41:16

I found myself over the years questioning my own actions and trusting

41:24

those above me trusting melaroo trusting that we were doing the right

41:29

thing and although in the back of my mind I knew things were wrong

41:35

I did not yet have the courage to do something and I'm ashamed

41:42

as my life's greatest shame to say that only recently

41:48

I begun to change my teachings at the iron light to try to instill something

41:56

different a mindset of change

42:02

within the new recruits and when I saw that that was not enough that my teachings were being undone

42:10

by the single order to go out and kill things to become a sentinel that is when

42:15

I began to have conversations with others like Nessa and Eleanor who had

42:21

themselves had the same whisper in the back of their heads that something was wrong I

42:27

understand that shame and that frustration [Music] but you're asking people to make a

42:35

decision in a few moments that took you 40 years to act upon can

42:43

you see why that kind of change might be difficult we cannot wait

42:50

40 more years you waited long enough for yourself you don't want to wait for some other people to come around and as I

42:56

said that is my life's greatest shame and I wish to rectify that now it's your

43:01

enemy we want to help we are not your enemy Flynn

43:06

to my knowledge has never gone around just hunting Monsters has he killed them

43:12

yes but only when we've been fighting them together when they've shown up where we were he's never once been sent

43:20

by the iron light Collective to do anything and he's still not he was given his stupid tattoo and he came back to us

43:27

and he wasn't told what to do he was just told yeah we'll call you if we need you so we're not your enemy right now he

43:35

hasn't done anything that is cause for concern so maybe we can just do our own

43:41

thing and you can do your own thing and Flynn just won't take any orders from the iron line Collective for a while in

43:47

your example with the with the Manticore it's not the lesson

43:52

that's the force action to be taken should not be to kill

43:58

the thing that's causing the problem I would like to look back towards NASA that's standing right next to us

44:04

um does it seem over this conversation that maybe she has changed her position or stance or or demeanor after all of

44:10

this okay and I'd like to be watching the other one make an inside check Seeker

44:16

I got a 13 for Nissan uh 17. um

44:21

they seem [Music] very secure in their position

44:30

seems as though from what you can tell there has been

44:37

especially Flynn you will get this more than Seeker a weight on their shoulders

44:44

um this as Chad said a nagging voice in the back of their head that now that they're taking action to

44:52

attempt to justify it they seem very secure in their position I'm a turn

44:58

towards Nessa Essa I don't look at Eleanor

45:03

that's a Illinois we want to help wheat we do I do

45:10

but this can't be the way we do this we went to then all you have to do is

45:17

stay out of our way Flynn we can't I can't let you go on and kill more Sentinels and if that means that I have

45:22

to die protecting him protecting Caitlyn rejecting zorkol

45:27

Evelyn Pierre all of them and I'll do that but we can talk to them

45:36

Flynn we will not kill you what you're saying may do not follow us

45:44

no are you going to kill more Sentinels

45:49

answer me yes Flynn I can't let you leave I'm gonna go out on a limb real quick real quick I'm gonna go out on a

45:55

limb um I'm gonna point my nose in the air this is again yeah I'm in Beast form so I'm not going

46:01

to say that uh so I'm gonna point my nose in the air would I be able to smell if they're

46:08

prepping a spell like does their magic crackle in any kind of way as a thought

46:13

runs through my wallet reception check and I think that's that Advantage because you're a

46:19

wolf if it's a smell smell yeah

46:28

another 20 I think that's a 20. yeah this is funny let's go that's a 20.

46:35

um can I say that he would notice I don't know does he notice any does he notice manager um yeah so you would notice

46:43

um let me see what would you notice meteor storm another [ __ ] time stop

46:52

it's gonna be much better I promise you you notice

46:58

chaff beginning to cast a spell

47:03

and you notice Nessa reach down to her belt

47:10

and you can see along her belt she has four glass vials

47:17

um all of them filled with different color powders which with a little label on them so

47:22

being that I have no other way of communicating I just start going everyone call initiative

47:33

you would also notice uh Flynn his Magic's starting to messed up all right

47:39

um can that please give us a little bit of a drop on like that warning

47:46

all right it all evens out because they were going to have to appreciate combat

47:52

um let's see kellik uh what's my what's my actual modifier

47:58

it's a 9 19. 19 for Cadillac Oma 16. so 16 for Alma

48:05

destiny 10. Seeker eight

48:14

everything's going in descending order oh wow this way

48:20

um try it uh 12.

48:25

and Flynn 24. all right first up Flynn all right so uh did I

48:34

notice um so I tried some of my weapon once again it didn't work um would I've been able to look around

48:40

do I know where my weapons are do I see them your weapon

48:45

um just off in a slightly ruined building to your right okay so then um as I track that during the conversation

48:51

um I will say chat can't leave and I'm gonna take my fingers run them together

48:57

and uh swipe them on the ground starting from my heel around in a circle bring them up and uh as the wind begins to

49:04

kind of swirl around me and get uh more violent and violent of this world and guts to win all over the place I will

49:10

cast warding wind oh yeah all right everybody gonna be deaf

49:15

so um yeah so it defines other creatures in

49:20

the area it is a um 10 foot radius around me um uh extinguishes Flames uh Hedges out

49:26

Vapor gas fog um that can be dispersed with strong wind and then it's difficult to train for creatures other than me and attack

49:33

rolls of ranged weapons have disadvantage within the circle or outside of the circle um if you're shooting a bow outside of the circle the

49:39

wind will make a disadvantage but how about from within um it I guess because it's a wind I

49:46

would imagine it just keeps blooming okay um if any of those things happen can you

49:51

please let me know of course and then I will use my movement to the weapons okay

49:57

it is yeah so as I move uh this wind follows me and

50:05

tracks with me as it kicks up dirt and debris all right um I'm gonna speed you

50:10

are just able to get to the weapons um I will assess the situation I will try and grab my sword and remove

50:16

whatever a band is on it all right I'll say that's a free action to remove it's a very thin string of copper holding my

50:23

weapon now um I will look down to it's the staff and what else and a healing potion okay

50:29

I will can I grab the healing potion yeah sure would I be able to toss the staff outside of the room towards Australia no okay that's not on this um

50:36

that's my turn I don't have a bonus actually right now all right next up

50:42

chath sword in one hand um reaches his hand up towards

50:50

um up towards Illinois and as he reaches his hand up you can

50:56

see the muscles in his arm begin to strain although you can't see any Vision visible effects on his arm you can see

51:04

him concentrating and straining on his arm as he reaches out towards Eleanor [Music]

51:10

looks towards chaff and reaches him his arm out in a similar way almost grasping

51:15

and accepting whatever invisible energy is coming his way and as he does

51:21

Eleanor's fingers begin to sprout little metal shards that's cool and

51:28

little metal plates almost like scale male coming over his hand

51:35

bending over his arm extending over his entire body as his body grows and

51:41

Lumbers his arms reach out and become these these thin

51:47

needle-like points lunge into the ground she begins to to grow and morph his head

51:54

shrinks into his shoulders as all of a sudden this massive metal crab-like

51:59

creature um uh appears there in front of you each of its claws and and legs reaching out

52:07

towards the ground coming to these impossibly fine points like needles

52:14

as and the rest of his body is still covered in that scale male like metal

52:19

scales and as he sort of shudders all of the

52:24

scales sort of flutter around and as each layer of the scales flutters who

52:30

turns invisible [Music]

52:35

is now invisible invisible metal crap oh cool that was yeah cool all right that

52:42

is chath and Eleanor's turn kellik well nothing to it but you do it

52:49

I'm gonna cast whole person on chat yeah okay yeah nice so that is a uh wisdom

52:55

saving thrill as I sweep my uh my hand out directly at

53:02

him my leveling my the center of my palm as the bandages twirl out around my arm

53:08

I Center the the center of my palm on his heart basically if you were to draw a line straight from my hand to

53:15

53:23

53:29

tether that up till now only I have been seeing whenever I cast sending and it flies into my hand and I pull it around

53:37

53:43

53:48

[Music] um that was against Chad yes that was on Chef that was on chat okay um I'm right

53:55

54:28

[Music] um bring my hands up to my head um and and I'm I'm

54:34

looking between Nessa and um and [Music]

54:41

chat and I noticed that somebody has definitely gotten invisible um and I know they've been calling him

54:47

illinar and I just gotta go I'm gonna scream loudly and say Illinois

54:56

say his name my um rule of thumbs psychic lamps

55:03

attacked him coming out from the beam of my forehead

55:09

to wherever he is on the map wait wherever he is excuse me within 120 feet

55:16

that's awesome so within 120 feet so you and Alicia shimmering lands of psychic power from your forehead at a creature

55:22

that you can see within range alternatively you can utter a creature's name if the name decree Target is within

55:30

range it becomes the Spells Target even if you can't see it

55:35

oh okay um as this beam coming from almost there

55:40

flies right past uh Kelly's left shoulder and beans a creature directly

55:47

behind uh kellik and Seeker um he has to make a saving throw okay

55:54

what is that saving for intelligence [Music]

56:05

that's a 14. Tails oh okay okay so yeah

56:10

can I have some d6s y'all oh I need three more I don't like that two

56:18

I'm gonna stop giving me them I need

56:24

um how come mine gets thrown out okay that

56:31

is whoo [Music]

56:39

30 points of damage yeah like oh I'm okay with that um psychic wait

56:49

um and he's incapacitated so the target takes 76 damage which is 30 and is

56:55

incapacitated until the start of my next turn [Music]

57:01

down so happy right now as it comes out of my forehead though I

57:07

definitely scream I'm gonna also help you make that wild

57:12

magic search um yeah you are

57:19

[Music]

57:28

things were going so well I'm freaking out I forgot to do my

57:33

breathing guys it actually totally makes sense of daily affirmation I didn't do it I'm

57:41

sorry you think it's so focused when he's rolling and I never know if it's good or

57:47

bad how many silver coins do you have on you right now okay I have 55 silver pieces

57:56

they become 55 copper pieces that's okay I don't know that though but I don't

58:04

know so I thought he was gonna say surprises or something

58:09

that's a really funny that's a really good one yeah we're good guys that's fine yeah it looks like that looks like

58:14

that all right um okay next up in the initiative is that it for Oma

58:20

um I'm gonna um I'm not gonna move because none Ness is gonna hurt me but I'm gonna do use a

58:27

key point because after I screw after the light has left my forehead I scream

58:34

and I crouch down in Duck and I'm going to um bonus action

58:40

um patient defense okay all right and I'm just Burying my head because it

58:47

just let out a a big like a bolt of energy all right I imagine as it passes me I

58:55

would get a headache a little bit just just for the moment it passed

59:00

it seems fair Nessa finishing reaching down to her side she sort of glances her

59:07

fingers over all of these vials that she has on her side as her fingers rest on

59:14

one the third of the four she slowly takes it out of the little

59:20

Loop in her belt and puts it up to her face and snaps the

59:26

glass in front of her face as all of the powder from within vaporizes and becomes gas as she

59:33

inhales all of the blue gas into her and you can see the blue begin to run down

59:39

her her veins in her neck

59:44

it's widen and bulge

59:52

[Applause] her eyebrows begin to raise and come up

1:00:00

to a point as little almost insect-like antenna pop out and wrap around the back

1:00:06

of her head she begins to grow in size as from her neck this this sort of

1:00:12

reptilian hood of skin begins to grow and have uh begin to grow points on the

1:00:18

end of it her body elongates and a hundred little legs

1:00:26

she turns herself into a remerass yeah

1:00:37

this is why they want to protect the beasts because they are beasts I'm very sympathetic

1:00:44

and so that directly next to you [Music]

1:00:49

you now have a huge Ramirez [Music]

1:00:56

that is nessa's turn next up in the initiative we've got I believe shria

1:01:01

what are you doing uh seeing quick question yeah if I were to see the

1:01:07

bolt that hit the that that incapacity well would

1:01:13

there have been a surge around that chaos bolt like would I've been able to see the outline from where that bolt hit

1:01:19

yes and actually for the moment the invisibility of the creature is like waving on and off it's not even fully

1:01:26

invisible at the moment so you can you can see like these waves of transparency going over it so very very uh

1:01:35

Fired Up by the bolt uh I'm gonna pile into the air and charge toward that

1:01:44

beast and like do a leaping bite into it okay awesome make an attack roll

1:01:51

at Advantage because you have buddies

1:01:56

he's incapacitated too so what is that it's just an advantage yeah yeah because

1:02:02

yeah so what's my attack oh okay uh

1:02:10

yeah wow uh so that is a 23 to hit yeah but 23 hits

1:02:17

awesome and so the teeth lamb they sink in and do oh

1:02:25

yikes six points of piercing damage from the teeth okay

1:02:31

um this is a creature correct yeah okay so yeah so sit strength saving throw as well from this creature

1:02:39

that is going to be a 17. uh it succeeds okay

1:02:44

um as you bite into this creature a couple of your teeth are just able to slip in past those metal scales on the

1:02:51

outside into the flesh underneath but you're not quite able to get that that full grip

1:02:56

um is that the end of your turn uh yeah it's the end of my turn but I'm gonna hold on okay awesome

1:03:03

um next up thessily can I use my movement to get all the way up to chaff yeah you can

1:03:11

okay wait a second so uh up until this

1:03:16

point I did not appear to have a weapon on me I'm just gonna use my fisticuffs bro

1:03:24

no uh so I reach my hand out uh and Flame sort of like coalesces in the palm

1:03:31

and then begins to coil around my fingers and I lift my hand a little higher and in a space right in front of

1:03:37

me like a little black hole or like Wormhole almost like opens up and I reach down and this fiery Mall emerges

1:03:45

as I pull my hand back out and the Flames sink with the weapon and I take

1:03:50

both my hands wrap them around it and I'm taking a swing let's go all right

1:03:56

um make an attack roll okay

1:04:03

this is that is a D12 I keep taking D12 today yeah sorry it was me last time

1:04:10

okay and he's in he's incapacitated he is oh he's he's paralyzed so it's an

1:04:15

autocrit so it's an auto I don't even think you need to attack do I have to roll you have to okay roll that advantage or something like

1:04:22

that and if it hits it they're worth Advantage it's an auto crit though yeah attackers have Advantage Advantage thank

1:04:29

God that's real good yeah uh yeah oh

1:04:35

Advantage he did an eight I get two attacks per action

1:04:42

yeah if you can

1:04:49

natural 20s

1:04:58

this weapon is one D12 bludgeoning damage plus two D6 fire damage jeez so

1:05:06

automatically 12 24 24 hours automatically 24 and then we roll for the other damage can I

1:05:12

borrow Ed a Smite into that

1:05:20

so what's the automatic for a Divine smile so you said well let's do this

1:05:25

first a D12 of bludgeoning seven for fire and a three on the D12 so

1:05:31

that's ten okay yeah Divine Smite looks for me

1:05:38

pretty cool for us I like it a lot I I wish I wish you would like use your

1:05:45

crit then too though like I'm gonna go ahead and extend it at a uh third level

1:05:51

spell slot as well okay so what's the maximum yeah you are so that's gonna be an extra 3D 8 radiant damage 3d8 so

1:05:58

that's uh what is that 24 24.

1:06:05

so then this is how many dice are you rolling so it's three more d8 maxed plus what

1:06:11

she wrote yeah okay that's a seven total 62. jeez yeah

1:06:19

doing my math correct have we ever seen better level of damage to inflicted upon an entity yeah 50 something you've done

1:06:27

50 up to this point this is a new map this is like the new Max new Max new Max y'all

1:06:34

okay can I use a bonus action wow at this point why not actually I I

1:07:50

on this creature um is that your full-time uh and now I'm

1:07:55

going to um I'm gonna look up at Shreya and kind of

1:08:02

1:08:09

you approaching on her left side or her right side left side okay yeah okay next up Flynn what am I doing

1:08:27

can have it um so I have the potion to have my sword I have that and then I will run back out

1:08:33

and see chath um Frozen up with

1:08:38

people fighting him but then Nessa this big thing I'm gonna try and hit I would hit NASA

1:08:45

okay um if I could keep my wind just on her and not on Oma

1:08:51

yeah I'll try and position that way um just to kind of keep Nessa in it okay

1:08:57

make your attack rules yeah and I'll just swing down um

1:09:03

uh but I will also if you were to look I would turn my blade sideways and do these non-lethal okay

1:09:09

foreign actually wait one second I'm sorry hey I

1:09:15

was looking at someone else's stat block no problem [Music] 17 hits okay

1:09:22

that is uh 13 points of piercing non-lethal damage

1:09:30

and I will come down with another one wait sorry one second yeah good

1:09:36

what was that 13 13 yeah okay and then I come down with another one uh 20 21 to hit a 21 hits uh that is

1:09:45

11 points of uh piercing down these hole um and I'm just trying to get her attention for sure and then

1:09:54

um [Music] yeah that's it that's my turn

1:10:01

okay can chat or Eleanor do anything they yeah Chad can make a wisdom saving throughout wisdom save you can make

1:10:07

another sense well and I just had a question right quick about chath and his State and how he might have received

1:10:13

that huge ass load of damage like was there is there is there anything just for flavoring he's still being held up

1:10:19

was there anything particular holding on to him

1:10:30

[Music] don't he's gonna return the favor here

1:10:36

that is gonna be a 19 on his saving throw that succeeds okay so Chad breaks

1:10:43

out of that yeah he's gonna use his action to ignite his sword with green flame blade

1:10:49

he's going to use yeah he's gonna use a bonus action to

1:10:56

attack thessally surprise surprise who'da thought

1:11:04

all right for that swing does a

1:11:10

25 does it 25 yes okay that is gonna be

1:11:15

15 points of slashing damage um and then he is

1:11:20

[Music] okay yeah um you are now uh he's going to use uh

1:11:27

that as an Eldritch strike so you have disadvantage on your next spell

1:11:33

save all right he's gonna use an action surge

1:11:41

um to give himself another two attacks that is going to be a 21 to hit yup for

1:11:49

eight points of slashing damage locally dokely and a 24 to hit

1:11:56

yeah that definitely for another eight points of slashing damage whoo

1:12:03

and that is his turn Eleanor is incapacitated until my next turn he

1:12:08

doesn't get a chance to so you can just see him shimmering um helick and Seeker both see the moment

1:12:17

that Eleanor was incapacitated um these two spikes on his front two claws

1:12:25

were just inches from driving themselves into both of your backs

1:12:30

and secret as you turned around to attack you were pretty much nose to tip of this this needle

1:12:37

um Kellogg I'm gonna I'm assuming because he's incapacitated I can disengage freely without that is correct okay so

1:12:44

I'm gonna run to like the center of the battlefield kind of between everybody and I'm

1:12:51

gonna shake off my hand because it's smarts from the from the uh Ripples and

1:12:56

I'm gonna cast the whole person again on chat yeah all right this time third level lock him

1:13:03

down all right what's up um it's a wisdom it wasn't safe he fails I I assume at 10 fails yeah

1:13:12

embered tether comes into the center of my palm and I pull it around my hand all right

1:13:18

Oma before the end of my turn I'm gonna say stop

1:13:24

it's my turn next yes Alma what are you doing um

1:13:29

Queen heart feeling my pockets for the coin and I find it in my pocket and

1:13:37

um since NASA is in that Whirlwind will I be able to get away no she will still get an attack okay so I'm gonna use

1:13:45

yeah I'm gonna use the wind yeah to disengage and that or I'm gonna use

1:13:52

it to disengage and then I'm gonna run 40 paces

1:14:00

and we're on 40 feet right uh yes you can get to chat cool

1:14:07

and I'm gonna bye and blink it on his forehead does it

1:14:13

work yay so at full health this would be a wisdom

1:14:19

saving throw of eight to beat the coin but because he is below half Health that

1:14:24

is going to be he has to beat a 16 on that wisdom saving throw

1:14:29

so me uh he can think he could roll lower he rolled in 18. that's yeah

1:14:38

um so what time

1:14:44

yeah yeah um

1:14:49

[Music] I guess or something I guess but then another is going to be invisible again

1:14:55

and we're gonna be in this thing but if you want to fight three creatures or two of them well I'd rather fight two that I

1:15:00

can see than one that I can't see

1:15:06

but I'm going to cast burning hands um at an angle so that it's going off into

1:15:12

the before and him so it's not going to hit any of our any of my friend evoos yeah if you sidestep right next to

1:15:18

thestley that'd be easy enough and I'm gonna I'm gonna do it at level three but he still makes the save but a

1:15:24

disadvantage a disadvantage yeah okay it's a deck save

1:15:31

Ah that's a six he fouls okay so that's 5d6 fire damage which he's a fire dragon so

1:15:38

he's gonna take half anyway one two three four but it's a crit so so

1:15:44

it's just an autocrit so I'll do so it's 66. wait sorry it's 5g6

1:15:50

which is total of 30. so 30 already Plus

1:15:56

um

1:16:01
