Transcript

SPEAKER_08 0:00

Welcome to the odd box. It's your favorite voice actor who does two voices. We're almost to a hundred episodes, and it's probably the most consistent effort that I've ever put into anything in my life, and I'm really excited about it.

SPEAKER_03 0:19

He stopped raising his kids years ago.

SPEAKER_08 0:21

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, once they could get cereal out of the cupboard, they don't need me anymore.

SPEAKER_01 0:25

He has a wife for that.

SPEAKER_08 0:27

Whoa.

SPEAKER_06 0:28

To get cereal out of the cupboard.

SPEAKER_08 0:31

No, to raise the children, I think, is the implication.

SPEAKER_01 0:33

Well, Kyle needs cereal too, so.

SPEAKER_08 0:35

I can't eat cereal. I've got a dietary. It doesn't stop him from eating a box of it a day.

SPEAKER_01 0:42

So anyway, if you love cereal box podcast.

SPEAKER_08 0:48

Thank you, Courtney, for helping me up. That was good. We did it.

SPEAKER_05 1:21

It couldn't be more obvious. You're in love. And the feelings mutual for those of us with the capacity. You keep coming back for more, and we know why. The jokes only get darker, the story only gets more bizarre. And you want to be here when we have to face the consequences. Pay the Piper, answer for our podcasting crimes. Is any joke worth it if it's funny enough? Yes. Yeah, 100%. Yeah. You're asking the wrong crowd. I'm asking it. It's the only crowd I have biased.

SPEAKER_06 1:51

I have actually like made this a big argument point of certain things.

SPEAKER_05 1:58

Well, that falls out of any. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 2:01

No, okay. Um, but like comedians need to have leeway to push the envelope. Like, there's actually research around are you so you're saying we are those comedians that can push the envelope? No, I'm just saying in general, there's research around um like feed freedom of press and stuff, and also comedians at who have that same right um that can basically push the envelope with uh risqued jokes, so to speak. And like things like that need to be able to happen uh for I don't know, free society.

SPEAKER_04 2:37

I generally agree. I personally draw the line of getting punched in the face. And as a joke? No, I've told jokes and uh people have tried to punch me in the face before. And so, you know, whenever that happens, I kind of log that in the punch in the face category. That joke was over the line. I'm like, oh boy, don't bring up our Tad's mother. Apparently it wasn't funny enough. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:00

I think that it's very important for you to know your audience. Yes, because there's a lot of times when there is a joke that might be really funny for some people. And I'm not saying you shouldn't make that joke, but it just doesn't land among your audience. So know who you're talking to.

SPEAKER_08 3:13

Yeah, I think funny enough is the is the like qualifier qualifier right there, right? That's risky though. Yeah, yeah. Well, and it really like, you know, like uh when you're if you're joking about something that's like a taboo topic, like there's a lot of ways to make jokes about something that's uncomfortable, right? And usually they're not funny if you're punching down at somebody, right? You know, unless they're truly helpless. And then it kind of comes full circle again.

SPEAKER_05 3:41

It made me think of uh our relationship at work. We'd say some really terrible things. I'd like I'd make a comment about your cognitive ability. Yeah, yeah. You'd make a comment about my skin color. And the students are like, You how can you say those things to each other? They were just like blown away. And you know, again, our jokes weren't about our well, maybe a little our differences. It was mostly about the systems, right? Like the systems in place to like help and counteract those, those, those jokes that we were making. So, but uh I don't it's yeah, again, the risk of like, is this joke gonna be funny enough that I can get away with it?

SPEAKER_04 4:16

I I think the essence of of comedy comes from a place of honest conflict. I think you have to be willing to like both put yourself out there, and you know, if the other person's gonna laugh, they have to put themselves out there too, and and laugh at something that is absurd and true at the same time. And um, yeah, I think just by its very nature, even really mild jokes can really offend some people.

SPEAKER_06 4:37

And that's true. Yeah, well, yeah, if you have no sense of humor.

SPEAKER_04 4:41

Sure. Well, but it's just you know, like your perspective on it, you know. Yeah, and um, and yeah, I'm I'm with you, Jeff. I'm 100%.

SPEAKER_05 4:51

Well, there was that comedian that was like, I can't believe you would say those things, and uh, you know, like there's no way you can mean it. And he's like, Yeah, I didn't mean the joke either.

SPEAKER_06 5:00

Like, you know, right, yeah, it's like it was just a funny thing to say. It doesn't mean that I believe those things. Um, but yeah, I I hate cancel culture because it's a distraction, it's it's not a real thing. Um, but like when you look at movies canceled, bam canceled cancel him when you look at movies, um, two, three, four.

SPEAKER_02 5:25

And it's muted. What was that, Jeff? No, I know it's good.

SPEAKER_06 5:37

Um but no, I mean, just looking at movies that used to be made. Oh, that's a lot of people say, Oh, you can't you know you can't make that kind of movie anymore. And to some extent, it's true. There's a lot of jokes that people were willing to do in the past that they're not willing to push the envelope like that anymore.

SPEAKER_05 5:57

Because I like to tell people that Robert Downey Jr. is my favorite black actor. Yeah, yeah. That would still fly. You can still do that. That's the thing too, is like there's stuff going around about people doing whiteface, people doing blackface, and you can't do these things. But again, if it's done well enough, if it's funny, it's embraced. It's taking to like a whole new level.

SPEAKER_08 6:17

Yeah, like to your point earlier, right? Yeah, the history of blackface is really about degrading black people most of the time that shows up, right? Yeah, and when Robert Downey Jr. did it for Tropic Thunder, he was degrading people who do blackface, right? So, like, you know, it wasn't being black was the butt of the joke, right? It was that you're so smug and so arrogant with the bars.

SPEAKER_05 6:37

Yeah, it's the same reason we can cast black people to do black roles sort of thing.

SPEAKER_04 6:41

It's the same reason why we need like Leo Leo uh DiCaprios to go in and play the the fucking absolute villain into Django. Yeah. Um, you know, at some point when you're cleaning up a joke, you're cleaning up history. Yeah, you know, that's a good point. And and and that's really problematic over time.

SPEAKER_08 6:56

I like that. Yeah, and I think a lot of like the you know, like if you go back to like uh 80s, you know, kind of like raunchy comedies, like a lot of the jokes that don't work anymore are really just about molesting women.

SPEAKER_06 7:07

I was about to know as we all laugh. There's there's jokes in 80s movies that's just straight up date rape. Yeah, it's not even a joke.

SPEAKER_08 7:18

Yeah, it's yeah. And so like really it's like a lens of the culture at the time, you know? And it's like, how did people think this was funny though? Because you aren't you are punching down, right?

SPEAKER_06 7:28

Well, they'd only been able to vote for 40 years by that point. So well, here's the thing. I mean, someday it'll come full circle, and date rape will be funny again. Okay, for real needed mic this time. Oh man.

SPEAKER_03 7:44

That was actually better answers than I thought I was going to get.

SPEAKER_05 7:47

What did you think you were gonna get? Some of the worst jokes you guys could come up with. All right, here we go. No, I'm just uh let's leave it on that note.

SPEAKER_01 7:56

Let's play a game.

SPEAKER_08 7:57

Who's there? Orange. Orange who orange you glad I didn't say banana. Yeah. Don't you have to do the knock knock part a few times? Fucking cancel them for that one?

SPEAKER_03 8:06

You're supposed to like cancel them for another reason now.

SPEAKER_05 8:11

Speaking of uh bad jokes, you guys kind of turn the tables on your seance. Did I say seance first or did you guys say seance first? Uh I think Courtney was the first one.

SPEAKER_01 8:24

I I I think it was Jeff.

SPEAKER_05 8:26

It was one when it's on tape.

SPEAKER_01 8:28

I repeated it for sure.

SPEAKER_05 8:29

Yeah, I thought that was funny because uh that part of the chapter was called running the seance.

SPEAKER_01 8:33

So nailed it. We felt it. We didn't like it.

SPEAKER_05 8:38

You guys do that again. Felt it from the other side. Learn some secrets, motivations of these people, and you're able to form a plan based off of what they reveal. You know that the warning bell they were using is now housing the light from your eternal lantern. You know you need that eternal lantern lit if you're going to cast a higher version of Transmigration. You know that Fin Fang, the woman with the scar on her face, has been influenced by Nendorus in some way. Afterwards, they send you back in after you are able to mostly guard your secrets and only reveal what you really wanted to. You do know they had a strong reaction when uh Red mentioned Kugapti. You convince the town that it is not time to panic. And later that day, maybe a couple days after, Myron the dwarf comes calling, talking about some sort of haunting at the graveyard. And you guys entirely ruin Myron's night. Just for no reason. It's pathetic.

SPEAKER_06 9:50

I mean, there wasn't no reasons.

unknown 9:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 9:53

He wouldn't get to the point, goddammit. Your first one-star Google review brings you down to like a 4.9.

SPEAKER_01 10:00

Couldn't remember by the time he got back to his computer.

SPEAKER_05 10:03

Right. He did it on his phone and walked back. Cold as shit, no tea. They charge people for this. And you decide that if you wait any longer to investigate this new problem, it could have dire consequences. And so you guys head out to the graveyard and find a sad-looking ghost woman standing in front of a headstone. What is the hero point situation?

SPEAKER_08 10:27

Three. Whoa. Holy shit. Really? Yeah, I didn't use a single one on the thing, and I got one.

SPEAKER_06 10:32

Yeah, maybe you should have when you failed that roll. He didn't use the one. Because he was the only one. He was the only one. He's fine.

SPEAKER_01 10:38

He's got three. Don't don't make him feel bad now. We did great.

SPEAKER_08 10:42

Zero. Yeah, I'm just drained too. It's not that big a deal. Zero. Two.

SPEAKER_05 10:46

Two.

SPEAKER_01 10:47

And one.

SPEAKER_05 10:47

And one.

SPEAKER_01 10:48

And we didn't talk about drained at all, should we?

SPEAKER_05 10:50

I was actually gonna ask what the drain values were. Uh if you guys want to go around real quick and shout those out. I got a two. I got a two.

SPEAKER_00 10:59

One.

SPEAKER_05 10:59

One.

SPEAKER_06 11:00

So yeah, I'm gonna do that. You take down eight hit points.

SPEAKER_05 11:02

Penalty to your drain value to your constitution-based checks, such as fortitude saves. You lose hit points equal to your level times the drain value. So make sure you multiply that. And your maximum hit points are reduced by the same amount. That's 18 hit points for me. Oh yeah, you're a level higher. Yeah. When you regain hit points by resting for eight hours, your drain value is reduced by one, but you do not immediately recover those lost hit points. You guys are standing in the cold, wet winter storm that some of you have induer elements, but you can still feel the frost nipping at your nose. This woman looks at you just sad and looks as if maybe there's tears in the bottom of her eyes. And she is still wicked and silent.

SPEAKER_00 11:56

Hello. My name is Ari. We're here to help you. What's wrong?

SPEAKER_05 12:03

She looks down at you. And as you say, we're here to help, her face softens a little bit. And she gestures at you to follow. And she turns and slowly just kind of like drifts off exiting the graveyard. Okay, hang on, slow down.

SPEAKER_00 12:22

Don't do anything threatening, guys.

SPEAKER_08 12:24

My legs are so much shorter than they used to be. It's hard for me to get around in the snow. You look fine to me. Now he's the one that needs upies. Everybody in this party needs upies except for Pops. He's a giant. It's like two men standing on top of each other.

SPEAKER_06 12:40

Oh man, would you stop complaining about it if you just rode on his shoulders or something?

SPEAKER_08 12:45

You think Violet's big enough to ride yet? She's getting pretty handsome.

SPEAKER_06 12:48

Yeah. She's bigger than you now.

SPEAKER_08 12:51

Every day. She's grown a lot.

SPEAKER_05 12:54

This ghost is taking a meryandering path, and now it's leading you into the forest. It's hard to navigate with the snowladen branches and deep snow. You guys are struggling to keep up. She's moving effortlessly.

SPEAKER_00 13:11

Can you tell us where we're going?

SPEAKER_05 13:14

And she doesn't even pause or hesitate in her step, it just continues to go and go. And go.

SPEAKER_08 13:27

That's alright. I don't want to get back. It's gonna be fine. Hiking around these woods forever. Although I am concerned that we're gonna run into the haunty wall pretty soon. It is easier to get under the branches now that I'm vertically challenged.

SPEAKER_01 13:44

Yeah, but the snow comes up to your waist, so it's it.

SPEAKER_08 13:48

Six and one, half dozen in the other.

SPEAKER_05 13:54

Almost as tall as Pops now. You guys, one of you needs to give me a survival or perception check. The DC is not the same. Any of you can aid. I can do survival. I can do perception. 15 survival.

SPEAKER_04 14:06

Let me do perception.

SPEAKER_06 14:07

So Pops is rolling. Is anyone aiding? I'll aid. I will aid with my survival.

SPEAKER_05 14:16

I know that we're not supposed to be rolling different checks for eighting, but I D. Plus one.

SPEAKER_01 14:23

I aid. 29.

SPEAKER_05 14:25

Okay. Plus one.

SPEAKER_04 14:27

Here comes the roll. Sixteen on dice, perception sixteen, four, uh thirty-four. Uh plus thirty-two.

SPEAKER_08 14:39

Thirteen and sixteen is thirty-two.

SPEAKER_01 14:43

I thought you already did it. I was like, yay.

SPEAKER_05 14:48

After about three hours, you guys are able to keep up with her the entire time and you don't also become fatigued. She takes you to a dry riverbed. Here there doesn't seem to be any snow on this rough gravel. And she just points to the spot. Alright.

SPEAKER_04 15:11

What is here?

SPEAKER_08 15:12

I've seen this before, but don't worry about it, guys. She can't skip rocks anymore. She's sad about it. With my favorite spot.

SPEAKER_04 15:27

Would you like us to start to dig?

SPEAKER_05 15:30

She's unmoving. Just frozen, pointing to the spot. I'm gonna go stand in the spot. Other than the fact that snow seems to be melting instantly here. Pops is oh you're doing a track.

SPEAKER_01 15:45

27.

SPEAKER_05 15:46

For what?

SPEAKER_01 15:47

I was doing perception. Oh I wasn't sure if you wanted me to actually roll it or not, but I did.

SPEAKER_05 15:53

You see a lot of forest. There's no snow in this spot. It's all gravelly.

SPEAKER_04 15:58

Pops is gonna start digging while he's looking at the ghost and just like making sure it's okay.

SPEAKER_05 16:05

As you begin to dig, she lowers her arm.

SPEAKER_06 16:08

Oh. Ah, okay.

SPEAKER_08 16:10

I think he's got it figured out.

SPEAKER_06 16:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 16:12

I think that was an affirmation.

SPEAKER_06 16:13

I'll start, I'll start helping dig with my hands because we don't actually have any shovels. We didn't really come prepared for digging. We did not bring any shovels. That was an oversight. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:22

You guys are doing great.

SPEAKER_06 16:24

Dig with my hands.

SPEAKER_08 16:25

I'm gonna dig with my page. Wait just a minute. Going a lot. Wait just a minute. We all have magic. Any of us, can any of us do anything about this?

SPEAKER_01 16:32

Alright, summons a phantasmal minion.

SPEAKER_08 16:34

There we go. Have that minion do some digging with his hands.

SPEAKER_06 16:38

Gardus aims divine lance and just keeps pelting it into the ground in front of him. Just blasting apart rocks with my cantrips.

SPEAKER_08 16:46

I could cast adopt self on myself and get uh fins. And become adopted. Get fins for a swim speed. Find your way. I don't know if that's gonna be handy or not, but webbed fingers, maybe. Um I don't have anything else that would help, so I guess I'm just digging with my hands. Yeah, same. Digga digga dig. Digging in the cold. Really hurts my fingers.

SPEAKER_05 17:09

It's gonna be an athletics check. I'll give everyone rolling that athletics check a plus one for Ari's Phantasmal Minion.

SPEAKER_08 17:16

That ain't bad. That ain't bad at all. 31.

SPEAKER_04 17:23

24. I rolled a natural one, but it's still a 20.

SPEAKER_05 17:29

Well Gardas and Pops become fatigued. Okay. Uh minus one thousand C3 AC and saline throws. You can't have an acceleration activity. You guys get a full night's rest.

SPEAKER_01 17:41

You guys are slowing down.

SPEAKER_08 17:42

Yeah, come on, guys. Come on, dig like I'm digging.

SPEAKER_01 17:46

Playing the drums. Yeah, this is hard.

SPEAKER_08 17:48

How far do we have to dig here?

SPEAKER_05 17:50

About five feet down. Wow. Sorry, four feet down. It's the middle of the night. It's two in the morning. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 17:57

Out there digging at it with a stick.

SPEAKER_05 17:59

You find human bones wrapped in a burlap shroud. Oh shit, that's a dead body. Like how big are the bones? Adult? Adult human female bones.

SPEAKER_08 18:11

Adult human female bones. Are these your bones, lady? She's just staring at the hole. Should we move these to the cemetery?

SPEAKER_04 18:20

Pops gets back in the hole and he starts digging as he's looking at her.

SPEAKER_03 18:26

Just digging what?

SPEAKER_04 18:27

Is this what you want me to do?

SPEAKER_03 18:29

That's what he thought he's supposed to do.

SPEAKER_04 18:31

No, but Pops, knock it off.

SPEAKER_08 18:33

You're being disrespectful. Those are bones you're pushing around. Well now the bones are out, I assume. I didn't. Oh, okay. I didn't hear anything. You know what though, Pops? That's a good idea. This might be uh what we call uh uh what's it called when you put up like a fake thing? Well, I don't know why you're asking me. Decoy body. This might be a decoy body. There might be more bodies under the body.

SPEAKER_01 18:53

I'm just not going to guess that. Yeah. What the hell are you talking about?

SPEAKER_08 18:56

Well, what I'm saying is that one time there were some things to dispose of. And so we put them really far down in the earth, and then we put something that was less difficult to deal with on top of it.

SPEAKER_06 19:12

So you're thinking the bones, the human remains, are a distraction for what's actually here.

SPEAKER_08 19:18

Well, I'm just saying it's a possibility. I don't know anybody who's done that exact thing before. I'm gonna heft the bones out of the hole. Gently, gently.

SPEAKER_04 19:26

Maybe she wants to be buried properly.

SPEAKER_05 19:29

You pick up the bones and she turns around and begins to leave. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 19:33

I'm gonna put them in my uh bag of holding and start falling.

SPEAKER_01 19:42

All right, let's go. Like, hopefully get them all out of there.

SPEAKER_08 19:45

197, 198. Do you guys think we should fill this hole back in real quick before we go?

SPEAKER_01 19:49

Or if you want to do that, that's fine, but we're leaving.

SPEAKER_08 19:52

Just leave your minion here.

SPEAKER_01 19:55

No, it's gone. I don't just want to fall in. I think it only lasts a minute. She casts it three times.

SPEAKER_04 20:02

Pops will half collapse the hole and catch up.

SPEAKER_08 20:06

I can't believe I had to get help climbing out of that hole.

SPEAKER_01 20:10

I used the rope of climbing for you. Yeah, that's ridiculous.

SPEAKER_08 20:13

Pops just steps out. Do you guys think my body's gonna grow back, or do you think I'm just gonna be like this?

SPEAKER_06 20:18

You're a dwarf now. Can't use it.

SPEAKER_08 20:21

I got tusks and stuff. I'm not a dwarf. Some dwarfs have tusks.

SPEAKER_01 20:25

Cool. It's just some dwarves have tusks?

SPEAKER_06 20:27

I've never seen a dwarf. Are they like half orc tusks? Yeah, I yeah, they're like dwarfs.

SPEAKER_01 20:35

Can you say that?

SPEAKER_06 20:36

Yeah, that's a that's derogatory. We don't say that about people. What? You're one of them. You can use that word.

SPEAKER_01 20:44

But you can't.

SPEAKER_06 20:47

Try and stop me. I mean, I don't really mind so much.

SPEAKER_01 20:51

Those that produce flame at you.

SPEAKER_08 20:52

We've been through a lot more important things than you know. It does still kind of hurt a little bit because I know there's a long history of half orc, half dwarf. Whatever. We'll get over it later.

SPEAKER_01 21:05

We will get over it later. The orc side and the dwarf side.

SPEAKER_05 21:13

You guys follow her, and she takes a more direct route this time. And the trip back to town and back to the graveyard only takes about 30 minutes.

SPEAKER_06 21:21

Well, that's a huge difference. Why the hell were you zigzagging all over the place last time?

SPEAKER_08 21:26

Maybe she didn't know where to go. Maybe she's all dwarf. She gets lost in the woods easy.

SPEAKER_01 21:31

Sometimes it's nice to take a loop instead of going there and back, you know? No. Hmm.

SPEAKER_08 21:36

You think the odds are that there are any other half orc, half dwarf? Really good.

SPEAKER_06 21:41

They're called dwarks. We've established this. It's it's canon. Whole communities of dwarfs.

SPEAKER_08 21:49

Well, they just had such a long history of animosity. It just seems like an unusual couple.

SPEAKER_01 21:54

You know, when we restore Willow Shore, I'll help you to find your people.

SPEAKER_08 21:59

Okay. What if we restore Willow Shore though and I turn into a raccoon man?

SPEAKER_01 22:04

Well, then we can still find what whatever person that you are at that point in time, I'll help you find the rest of your people. So you can't.

SPEAKER_08 22:14

Maybe. Killing the same deer over and over and over again.

SPEAKER_01 22:18

You just have to be you. Whoever you are right now, you're beautiful.

SPEAKER_08 22:22

Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 22:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 22:23

And he's standing there in like a slightly oversized armor with his knuckles dragging in the snow.

SPEAKER_03 22:28

I'm like, of the thing. Courtney made the joke about you being wide, and you're like, this is me now.

SPEAKER_05 22:35

His arms are still the same, the same way. You guys make it back to the cemetery, and she's standing in front of one of the graves again, silently, just looking sad.

SPEAKER_01 22:48

I grabbed a shovel on the way.

SPEAKER_08 22:50

Okay, that was smart of you.

SPEAKER_01 22:52

It was in the shed over there.

SPEAKER_08 22:54

A lot of unattended shovels in a graveyard.

SPEAKER_06 22:56

Whose grave is it?

SPEAKER_08 22:57

Yeah, what's the name say on this grave?

SPEAKER_05 22:59

It says Roger B. Thart.

unknown 23:02

Oh.

SPEAKER_08 23:03

It's a weird ass name for somebody living in the Tharts.

SPEAKER_02 23:09

There were big Tharts, little Tharts. B Tharts?

SPEAKER_01 23:14

Silent Tharts. Stinky Tharts.

SPEAKER_06 23:17

Is that who this is? No, hold on. I'm gonna dump my bag of holding out and dump all the bones out onto the ground. You know, they had a whole choir of tharts. Is that who this is?

SPEAKER_05 23:31

Are you asking the ghost? Yeah. Oh. She's just she has her back to you guys. She's just staring at this at this grave, not moving. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 23:41

Here we go. And Pops gets down on the ground and he looks up at her as he starts digging.

SPEAKER_01 23:46

There's a shovel.

SPEAKER_04 23:48

Is this what you want?

SPEAKER_08 23:50

You guys think this guy came from somewhere else? I think this is uh not a traditional willowshore type name.

SPEAKER_01 23:56

What if we dig up this grave and there's bones inside?

SPEAKER_06 23:59

Yeah, what then? Maybe they want to be together. Maybe we're supposed to just steal all these bones. Maybe he's the murderer. Maybe he murdered her.

SPEAKER_01 24:07

You think we're gonna get in trouble?

SPEAKER_08 24:08

We don't yeah, probably. When have we ever gotten in trouble?

SPEAKER_04 24:11

Is something about what we're doing wrong?

SPEAKER_01 24:14

No, you're doing a good job. Keep going.

SPEAKER_08 24:16

Pops, what we're doing right now is desecrating a grave. So yeah, that's what we're doing right now is holding a broken arm in his hand.

SPEAKER_04 24:21

Yeah, no, just keep digging.

SPEAKER_08 24:22

Don't worry about it.

SPEAKER_05 24:23

As soon as Pops puts his hand to the soil, he scoops away once, scoops away twice, and as he puts his hand back down, another hand reaches out of the dirt from his grave grave and grabs his wrists. Hello, my name is Pops.

SPEAKER_08 24:46

Everyone roll initiative. I rolled a natural one. Nice. You're lucky we're not doing the critical.

SPEAKER_06 24:55

How many hero points do you have?

SPEAKER_08 24:56

I have three. But now's not an appropriate time to use them. That was worse.

SPEAKER_01 25:00

You're growing. Ooh, natural 20.

SPEAKER_08 25:03

I'm the opposite. Hey, we're like twins. Except yeah. We're like twins.

SPEAKER_06 25:08

Except you are we are now.

SPEAKER_08 25:10

You've got a real belly on you, and I'm still all nice and fit.

SPEAKER_06 25:13

Are you? You look pretty uh dworkish.

SPEAKER_08 25:19

You're using it as if it's a bad thing. You got a pejorative context when you use it like that.

SPEAKER_06 25:24

Yeah, having any orc blood in you isn't the great. Excuse me? None. Whoa.

SPEAKER_08 25:29

Whoa.

SPEAKER_06 25:31

I'm making a joke.

SPEAKER_08 25:32

Doesn't sound like it. We might have the same grandma. And he gets punched in the face. It's just a joke. We might have the same grandma, Gardis. That's not true. I might be your cousin.

SPEAKER_06 25:41

Well, I actually don't know who my mom was, apparently.

SPEAKER_08 25:44

She was an evil witch we met her underground.

SPEAKER_06 25:47

Yeah, I know. That's what I mean. That's kind of my point.

SPEAKER_08 25:50

I don't know that she was a witch. She might have been like a cleric. I mean runs in the family.

SPEAKER_06 25:54

When you're an evil cleric, that's kind of like witch.

SPEAKER_08 25:57

So I call you a witch? I'm not an evil cleric. I mean you're a cleric and you seem evil.

SPEAKER_00 26:02

How?

SPEAKER_08 26:03

Well, you know.

SPEAKER_00 26:04

Because you're an alcoholic. Yeah, the alcoholism.

SPEAKER_08 26:06

You're getting in fights with Matsuki. You mostly killed a guy. Yes. Oh, natural one for a 14.

SPEAKER_04 26:12

Pops. Five on dice for a twenty-one. Oh, does drain affect this? No. And DC's? Okay.

SPEAKER_01 26:21

31.

SPEAKER_06 26:23

Natural 20 for a 36. Woo!

SPEAKER_01 26:26

Nice.

SPEAKER_06 26:27

Yeah, it is.

SPEAKER_08 26:30

Very nice. He's ready to go. You know what? You guys, you want to hear the funniest thing about this? Sure. When we leveled up, I uh took intimidating prowess, where if I was if I was physically menace the enemy. You know, because Red's a big guy. He could probably physically menace a lot of enemies. And now he's four four foot four.

SPEAKER_01 26:52

And you're pretty scary looking.

SPEAKER_08 26:54

I do have a scary face, at least. I got that going for me. Big teeth.

SPEAKER_05 27:02

We are going to go to the beginning of round one as this creature begins clawing its way out of a grave. And we are going to start with Gardas, who dumping bones out on the ground, looks up and sees one rising from the ground.

SPEAKER_06 27:19

Um things grabbing you.

SPEAKER_01 27:25

Is things grabbing you?

SPEAKER_06 27:26

Yes, I heard that.

SPEAKER_01 27:30

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_06 27:31

Mrs. Thart. Look at this. This is like the zombie bride. That's cool. I like all the effects on what is it doing? Is it snowing? Yeah, it's blizzarding. Oh, that's a good point.

SPEAKER_01 27:46

She's like in a bluish silver dress. And she has these really long fingers that have claws at the end. And she has a lot of brown hair. Grayish brown hair. Yeah. And she looks like she's screaming. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 28:04

She looks tall too. She looks very tall. Real tall, though much taller than red. She's like an Amazon.

SPEAKER_06 28:12

No, those are just her ribs. And I guess this is the other, this is the other ghost here.

SPEAKER_05 28:17

Yes, you see uh what looks to be a woman uh dressed like uh some sort of maid, maybe a farmer. Uh and she looks real sad, though maybe not in this picture. Yeah, she seems alright though. She looks human-ish.

SPEAKER_06 28:32

Well, I guess time to take care of these zombies. How many more zombies are we gonna get attacked by? Probably more. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:41

But the one that's been with us hasn't made any threatening moves, right?

SPEAKER_05 28:45

She just seems to start like it seems as if she's crying now.

SPEAKER_01 28:48

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 28:49

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 28:50

Um, just because she's there and looks like an enemy.

SPEAKER_06 28:55

Shit, did we did we have our weapons out? No, I definitely didn't. I can't imagine any.

SPEAKER_01 29:00

Someone has a shovel.

SPEAKER_08 29:03

My weapons look ridiculous. Can I 12-foot guy's arm on a four-foot tall man? There's eight feet of guy's arm sticking up above me.

SPEAKER_06 29:10

So there's a fence like right behind her. I'm guessing I'm probably not gonna go over to that fence to flank her. I can give you an athletics check. It would be its own separate action.

SPEAKER_05 29:19

Oh, I don't want to do that. You got your shoes on, jump it.

SPEAKER_01 29:22

You do.

SPEAKER_05 29:23

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 29:25

Hop up for everyone.

SPEAKER_05 29:27

But then, like, is she gonna get cover for being on the other side of the screen? Let's just move. Let's just move up.

SPEAKER_03 29:34

Everybody moves away from the fence. It's like her. Let's use these again for like an hour.

SPEAKER_06 29:42

Move up to her, I guess. Draw my axe and strike. Let's see how effective this is at level eight.

SPEAKER_01 29:52

Goes up to zombie bride. Robert B. Thark.

SPEAKER_06 29:55

That was the name. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 29:57

Is it Roger?

SPEAKER_06 29:59

I thought I don't. I don't know. I wrote down Robert. Okay. Maybe I just forgot. Anyway. Roll. You guys have to remember the shit I say. I won't. Um, probably gonna be a miss. A dirty 20. That's a miss. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I guess she's still crawling up out of the ground, so she's hard to hit, which is why I miss her. Alright, after Gardas. Like a weirdly, I'm like, Gardus, when he was moving up to her, it's just very nonchalant. Like, it seems like this is gonna be easy to him. Or he feels like this is gonna be an easy fight or something.

SPEAKER_05 30:38

Another one of these creatures pulls itself from the grave. Oh shit. Takes a step forward and goes to swing on Pops. It moves from the grave from the south. Here comes the swing. It'll be a 30 to hit Pops.

SPEAKER_04 30:58

Let's see here. Fatigue gives me an AC penalty.

SPEAKER_05 31:03

Uh so that's a hit, no crit. 17 points of slashing damage, and she raises her arm and just drags it across your body.

SPEAKER_06 31:13

There's a I'm zooming out. There's a lot of graves here for uh the potential for zombies.

SPEAKER_08 31:20

I like that as like uh just a piece of insight that guards should have when the second one comes out and he's like, uh guys. Yeah, right. There's a lot of graves.

SPEAKER_05 31:27

This is a graveyard, isn't it? And then the grave furthest to the south, a third one, pulls itself free, takes one step to the east. No, no, no, no, raises its clawed hand and swings at Ari.

SPEAKER_01 31:43

It's not very nice.

SPEAKER_05 31:45

That will be a 31 to hit.

SPEAKER_01 31:49

That's a hit.

SPEAKER_05 31:51

That will be uh 18 points of slashing damage. And then the one that is holding onto Pops is going to sink her nails deeper into his arm. Give me a fortitude save. You have a minus from this for your fatigue and from your drain. Nice. Okay, comes the roll.

SPEAKER_04 32:16

Ooh, six on dice, fortitude 18, so 24, minus 2 for drain, 22, and then minus 1 for fatigue. So yeah, 21.

SPEAKER_05 32:29

Uh standard fail. So you take 14 points of slashing damage. Okay. Using her other offhand, she strikes. 36 to hit. Oh, that's just a crit. Yeah. Yeah. 32 points of slashing damage. Hey, you guys remember when I said earlier I was never gonna die?

SPEAKER_09 33:05

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_05 33:06

You're fine. Then she is going to try and restrain you. Okay. So this will be against your. What is grabbed against? Reflex or no? Is it reflex?

SPEAKER_04 33:22

Off guard. Oh, you are off guard too. Oh, so the ghost lady is evil. No, you're off guard because you're grabbed. Oh, okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 33:35

That's funny.

SPEAKER_05 33:39

42 DC. Natural one. Uh definitely not able to grab you with that offhand. Definitely not able to restrain you. What happens if you uh critically fail that?

SPEAKER_06 33:51

Yeah, critically failing a grab does something.

SPEAKER_04 33:54

Failure, critical failure. If you already had a target grabbed or restrained, it breaks free. Your target can either grab you as uh as if it succeeded at using a grapple action against you or force you to fall and land prone. Bummer.

SPEAKER_01 34:07

Knock her prone.

SPEAKER_04 34:08

Fall and land prone, please. One prone, please.

SPEAKER_01 34:10

Is she even out of the ground? No, not now.

SPEAKER_05 34:13

Just like drag her out at the knee. Flop her down.

SPEAKER_01 34:17

Nobody grabs me.

SPEAKER_05 34:20

That was its turn. So we will go to Ari.

SPEAKER_01 34:24

Okay. Well, I wanted to do something cool, but somebody is right next to me. That's not true. Um, somebody's right next to me, and they hurt me, and I didn't like it. Makes me sad and scared. And I'm going to run to the northwest. So about 15 feet to the north, and I'm behind all of our friends. And she's going to start rallying Anthem. So plus one, two AC saves and resist to physical damage, I believe. And then I want to do a knowledge roll on these uh zombie brides. I'm assuming religion would be the most appropriate.

SPEAKER_05 35:09

You can give me a religion.

SPEAKER_01 35:12

That's a five on the dice for a 17.

SPEAKER_05 35:16

Uh fail. Yeah. Fail.

SPEAKER_01 35:18

They're zombie brides. That's my turn.

SPEAKER_05 35:22

And then from the grave to the north of Gardas, another one of these creatures rises from the ground and rushes at Ari. God damn it. Oh, that's fine. I'm having fun. Here comes the attack. Killing my wife is the funnest thing I can think about. Oh god. 38?

SPEAKER_01 35:45

He tells me every day. That's a crit.

SPEAKER_05 35:48

Uh-oh, guys. 17. 34 points of slashing damage. Oh no. Oh no.

SPEAKER_08 35:59

At one point, Tony said there was gonna be no character deaths in this campaign. I never said that for this campaign. Oh yeah, that was the other one.

SPEAKER_09 36:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 36:07

Stop smoking so much grimbleweed. Maybe I need to start smoking grimbleweed. Then we will go to Pops' turn.

SPEAKER_01 36:14

Oh, I have resist too.

SPEAKER_04 36:16

So Okay. So as part of initiative, I'm putting my eminence in Scars of the Survivor. And then I am going to uh one action pull out my club. And then second action, I'm going to spark Transcendence on Scars of the Survivor. I'm going to send that over to Titanbreaker. So here comes the healing. 4d8.

SPEAKER_05 36:41

And did you want to give the Radiant to anyone?

SPEAKER_04 36:43

Does anybody need it? Courtney.

SPEAKER_05 36:46

Does anyone need it? Courtney, are you more or less than half health? Less. Does anyone need it?

SPEAKER_04 36:54

Yeah, that's 16 points of healing to you.

SPEAKER_05 36:56

Is that the leveled up version?

SPEAKER_04 36:58

That's 17 points of healing to you.

SPEAKER_01 37:00

Is there a range for that?

SPEAKER_05 37:01

It's like 30 feet.

SPEAKER_04 37:02

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 37:03

15 feet. Either way, you're within it.

SPEAKER_04 37:05

So you're 14. Yeah, 17 hit points.

SPEAKER_01 37:09

Sweet.

SPEAKER_04 37:10

And then I heal a pretty true. Weak heal. So I only get uh 10 points of healing. I bet it's better than nothing.

SPEAKER_01 37:24

What did you roll?

SPEAKER_04 37:27

My healing.

SPEAKER_01 37:27

What were your what were the dice though?

SPEAKER_04 37:29

Uh 10. No.

SPEAKER_01 37:31

10 altogether. You you rolled how many of what dice?

SPEAKER_04 37:33

Uh 48.

SPEAKER_01 37:34

48. Yeah. That's sad.

SPEAKER_08 37:36

That is sad. 2.5 average. You're sad. It should be 4.5 average.

SPEAKER_04 37:41

Two twos of one and a five. Worked by the listeners at home. Yeah, that's sad.

SPEAKER_05 37:45

We're getting really into this dice roll.

SPEAKER_01 37:47

I remember him listing it off. I was like, that's good. And then he said 10, and I was like, that's not good.

SPEAKER_04 37:53

40 sweet. Um okay, so uh pull out club, spark transcendence, and now we're gonna bonk. And we're gonna bonk on the one that's prone to the west that's got its back up to the fence here. And here comes the swing. She prone.

SPEAKER_05 38:09

She prone, she prone.

SPEAKER_04 38:11

They're all unharmed. Hey, that's 19 on dice plus 19 to club for a 38 bonk. You can give it back. Dirty 38. Is that a is that a crit? Because something very fun happens on a crit. We have a crit. Yeah. Oh, that's a crit. Born of the bones. Uh let's see here. If you succeed on a critical strike while the target is critically the target is critically hit while standing on the surface of Earth or Stone, the target is driven down and mired into the ground. Back into the grave you go. Keep her back in there.

SPEAKER_06 38:46

Get back in there.

SPEAKER_04 38:47

I feel like that should just be an instant kill to put her back in the grave. Uh the target is immobilized and must succeed in an escape attempt against your class DC. There comes my class DC to end the immobilization. The creature does not become stuck if it is incorporeal, if it is liquid, has a burrow speed, or otherwise could escape without effort.

SPEAKER_08 39:06

Oh, this hoe might have a burrow speed.

SPEAKER_06 39:08

Yeah, she's a liquid. She did burrow her way out of there. Yeah, but not at speed. You don't know that. These graves are 30 feet deep.

SPEAKER_04 39:21

Alright, here comes the damage. The damage. That's better.

SPEAKER_03 39:32

Oh shit, it's gonna die right here.

SPEAKER_04 39:35

Okay, so that is 11 plus 4. 15 plus 12 is um 27? Thank you. Doubled. 54?

SPEAKER_05 39:51

54.

SPEAKER_04 39:52

54 bombs. Bludge. Wow. As I drive her back into her grave. Cinematic. Chef's kiss.

SPEAKER_05 40:04

Yeah, I like that that she was like, reached out, she grabbed you, you were grabbed. You were like, no, so you just knocked her prone, and before she could do anything else, you just back into the earth with you. Not a bad turn.

SPEAKER_08 40:17

We will go to Red. Alright. Red is gonna draw his guy's arm. He's gonna give Violet a knowing eye-level wink now that they're the same height. And uh tell her to go keep Ari safe. And then he is going to strike at the um what are we calling these things? Zombie brides? Yeah. At the zombie bride to the north next to Ari. Okay. So here's the swing. How does a 29 strike you?

SPEAKER_05 40:44

That's a hit.

SPEAKER_08 40:46

And I roll my damage.

SPEAKER_05 40:49

What kind of damage is it?

SPEAKER_08 40:50

Ooh, slashing damage. Okay. Uh that is 19 points of slashing damage. Oh, sorry. Sorry. I got weapon specialization, so now it's more damage. Um 21 points of slashing damage. Okay. And those are all three of my actions. And then Violet gets to go.

SPEAKER_05 41:10

Yeah, I didn't bother putting Violet on turn because they always go off you, right? They don't have their own turn.

SPEAKER_08 41:16

Yeah. So Violet's gonna run on over and make that lady off guard.

SPEAKER_01 41:22

She's smart. She's been in training.

SPEAKER_08 41:23

She's been in training, like literally non-stop for weeks. Alright, and here comes the violet bite. Oh my gosh, I haven't rolled a violet bite.

SPEAKER_01 41:30

Violet bite.

SPEAKER_06 41:32

She's biting? She's not gonna stab it with her little dagger.

SPEAKER_08 41:38

Just give it a minute, okay? You guys are always trying to, you know. It's supposed to be a crescendo to this movie. Alright.

SPEAKER_04 41:46

She's holding the uh the corset knife with her tongue. Yeah. Alright.

SPEAKER_08 41:51

Here we go. Violet's first bite. Violet's first bite.

SPEAKER_05 41:56

I love getting the name.

SPEAKER_08 41:57

31.

SPEAKER_05 41:58

That's a hit. Oh, but this is piercing damage, right?

SPEAKER_08 42:01

Yep. Um 17 points of piercing damage.

SPEAKER_05 42:06

You realize it doesn't all go through. Wow.

SPEAKER_01 42:08

It is flanked. Does that turn into a crit per chance?

SPEAKER_07 42:11

What was it? 32. No. Oh. Dang.

SPEAKER_05 42:16

But it was close.

unknown 42:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 42:21

It's still round one, guys.

SPEAKER_05 42:25

The spirit takes a step back, shocked by these creatures, clearly horrified. It's almost as if she's seen them before. We will go to the beginning of round two, Gardas. Uh.

SPEAKER_06 42:41

Sorry. Uh, I'm apologizing to the spirit. Because I am going to cast a level three or a three-action heal. Um. So it just emanates from me hitting everything, living and undead.

SPEAKER_05 42:57

I feel like you need to apologize to me because I'm the one that has to roll four for too much. Oh, five for the other one. Exactly. Sorry.

SPEAKER_08 43:06

Hopefully she doesn't die. Roll good on hers. Right. Okay, well.

SPEAKER_06 43:13

Jesus.

SPEAKER_05 43:14

What's the DC? Uh 24. Okay, so that's an 18 on the first one. Fail. Second one rolls. Oh. 35. Critical success. The friendly spirit rolls. Come on, big money. 18. Fail. Uh the one to the south now rolls. Oh my god, 20. Fail. And the one to the north.

SPEAKER_06 43:53

32. Uh normal pass, so that's half damage. Uh it is 14 damage and heal. Nice. So 14 is full, seven for half, and none for the one that critically passed.

SPEAKER_04 44:07

I cannot do math today.

SPEAKER_08 44:08

Yeah, I just went wrote down I went from 100 to 102. I was like, why did I just write 102?

SPEAKER_01 44:16

It wasn't as effective for some reason.

SPEAKER_08 44:19

Watch me get hit for exactly 12 points of damage now. It's the future bleeding into the present.

SPEAKER_04 44:26

These things are tough. Mm-hmm. Our ghost friend is got hurt by that.

SPEAKER_06 44:35

Yeah. Just injured. She can survive another one. Yeah, she's close to badly injured though. Yeah, but she can survive another one.

SPEAKER_05 44:45

Then this creature to the south of Pops is going to continue to swing on him. Here comes the first attack. Bring it. Uh 31. No, yeah, 31. Hit. No crit. 18 points of slashing damage. Oh. Here comes the grab. Oh my god. Uh 24. Fail. Not a crit. Uh that's against my forty two DC. We right? We just did this?

SPEAKER_01 45:24

Yeah, which is minus one right now from Drain.

SPEAKER_05 45:26

Uh not a critical fail. Minus two with the fatigues as well.

SPEAKER_04 45:29

Just regular fail.

SPEAKER_05 45:31

Uh so you're not grabbed. 15. Yeah. In frustration, she lets out a screech. Everyone needs to give me a will save.

SPEAKER_09 45:43

Plus one.

SPEAKER_06 45:45

I'm going. Unless you're fatigued and it's a minus one. I'm going to use my reaction when I attempt a will save to gain plus two to that will save.

SPEAKER_08 45:52

I'm going to turn in a hero point for this three that I just rolled.

SPEAKER_06 45:57

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 45:58

Turning in a hero point for that natural one and just followed.

SPEAKER_06 46:00

Turning in a hero point for the two. Holy shit.

SPEAKER_05 46:03

One, two, three's at the table. I like you guys are afraid of this will save because you should be.

SPEAKER_08 46:10

Didn't end up being great, but hopefully.

SPEAKER_05 46:13

Pops?

SPEAKER_04 46:14

Uh five on dice. Will 17. So minus one for the fatigue. 23, minus one for uh 22.

SPEAKER_05 46:24

Fail. 24? Fail.

SPEAKER_01 46:29

29?

SPEAKER_05 46:30

Pass. 32. Standard pass. Those of you that passed are frightened too. Oh my god. Those of you that failed are frightened too and paralyzed for one round. As this sh baleful shriek just racks your body.

SPEAKER_08 46:50

Oh, I gotta do one for Violet. 27. Uh pass.

SPEAKER_06 46:55

You know, paralyze is what killed two of us before.

SPEAKER_04 46:59

Only because we couldn't stop getting uh, I suppose the yeah. Couldn't stop getting paralyzed. Yep. They can do it once.

SPEAKER_01 47:10

Oh no. So who's paralyzed?

SPEAKER_04 47:14

I am.

SPEAKER_06 47:16

I believe.

SPEAKER_01 47:17

Just you.

SPEAKER_06 47:17

Uh, so is red. Okay. Mm-hmm. We didn't see what a critical fail would do. All your checks.

SPEAKER_01 47:24

I'm sure that's the only one who can do that ability, and they're done. So.

SPEAKER_06 47:29

Yeah, right. All the pictures are the same, but they're all different. Whoa. What are all these statuses you just gave me for no reason? For other people that forgot what frightened means, not me, you take a status penalty equal to this value to all your checks and DCs.

SPEAKER_05 47:47

Paralyzed, you're off guard and can't take actions except recall knowledge and others that require only your mind. You can't seek.

SPEAKER_08 47:54

Oh, but these wouldn't stack, right? Like fear and fatigue because they're both status effects. Right.

SPEAKER_05 48:01

Then this creature to the south of Red takes a step forward and will unleash on Red, who is flat-footed.

SPEAKER_08 48:13

I'm not gonna do a damn thing about it. Yeah. Plus one?

SPEAKER_05 48:18

Twenty-seven.

SPEAKER_08 48:20

Um that's a miss.

SPEAKER_05 48:23

Twenty-seven's a miss?

SPEAKER_08 48:24

Yeah, because I'm at twenty, so twenty-nine normally, but then minus two for being flat-footed would make it twenty-seven, but then plus the Oh, because Ari's playing. Ari's playing.

SPEAKER_01 48:33

But with your fatigue or I didn't have fatigue.

SPEAKER_08 48:36

Yeah, I don't think he's fatigued. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 48:37

Or frightened. Aren't you frightened?

SPEAKER_08 48:40

Yeah. But takes a status penalty equal to the value to all checks and DCs. Isn't off guard a status penalty? No, circumstance penalty. Oh, pickles. That's a hit. Ha ha. See you trying to weasel out of it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 48:52

Ooh, that's really good damage, too. I'm gonna make sure I get this right. Better not be 12. 21. Okay, cool.

SPEAKER_01 48:59

19.

SPEAKER_05 49:01

Slashing damage. Uh walk up, step. It does hit you, so here comes the grab.

SPEAKER_08 49:08

I can't be grabbed.

SPEAKER_05 49:10

Uh, fail. Then we will go to this one that is buried. She is immobilized prone. Um, man.

SPEAKER_01 49:21

Sounds like she's gonna stay there. Just start throwing dirt over her. Kicking dirt.

SPEAKER_05 49:30

Escape. 24?

SPEAKER_04 49:35

24. That's DC. Class DC is 23. Oh. Uh is that fatigued or drained? Uh not that it matters, but um Does it affect your class DC?

SPEAKER_01 49:46

Yes, because it's a DC. All DCs for forever frightened.

SPEAKER_04 49:50

Yeah. So minus two, so 21.

SPEAKER_05 49:53

And then she stands up. And then she swings at Gardas. For oh, with the map. 29 hit.

SPEAKER_01 50:05

Plus one.

SPEAKER_05 50:07

Still a hit. For only 12 points of slashing damage.

SPEAKER_01 50:13

10.

SPEAKER_05 50:15

You get a minus two?

SPEAKER_01 50:17

Yeah, it's half of the spell's level. And it's a cantrip, so it's levels four.

SPEAKER_05 50:22

Then it's Ari's turn.

SPEAKER_01 50:24

Okay. Whew. Man. I was originally going to fly, but then people started getting paralyzed. I felt like that was a bad idea. So I'm going to cast blur on myself. It's two actions. It lasts for one minute. And then she will continue with rallying Anthem. AC saves. Resist two. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 50:52

Make sure you guys reduce your frightened value by one as your turns come and go. Then we will go to the one right beside Ari. Who is blurred. So is that a flat check?

SPEAKER_01 51:08

I'm concealed.

SPEAKER_05 51:10

Got it, concealed. So DC5, flat check. Here's the flat check. 11. Here's the attack. Uh 23.

SPEAKER_01 51:20

SPEAKER_05 51:22

Nice. That's okay, I did that wrong. 33.

SPEAKER_05 51:33

What's 19 plus 14? 33. 23. 23. You were right the first time. I like 33 a lot better. Um, it'll turn to Pops. Who's also frightened with the minus to the AC. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Vox. No. Can't hit you from there. That'll be that'll be a 33. 32, goddammit. For me? On Vox. Oh, on Vox.

SPEAKER_08 52:09

In my head, I kept hearing pops instead of Vox. Um you said it you said it was a miss.

SPEAKER_01 52:16

It was a 33.

SPEAKER_06 52:17

You corrected it to a 33, and that is a hit.

SPEAKER_05 52:22

You guys told me it was 23.

SPEAKER_01 52:25

19 plus 14? No, okay, yeah. I'm sorry. It was a miss.

SPEAKER_04 53:00

Hey, me and Baby Violet have the same health. Uh Pops is paralyzed. What can I do?

SPEAKER_01 53:05

You got a lot going on back there. We're not laughing at you. It's just funny.

SPEAKER_05 53:09

You reduce your frame value by one. Excellent. We'll go to red.

SPEAKER_08 53:12

Sick. Red is gonna recall knowledge on these bad boys.

SPEAKER_04 53:16

Am I still paralyzed? No.

SPEAKER_01 53:19

Sick.

SPEAKER_08 53:20

Um nice. I guess just maybe like a religion for recall. 17 on the dice for a 33.

SPEAKER_05 53:29

These are revenants.

SPEAKER_08 53:31

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 53:32

What would you like to know?

SPEAKER_08 53:34

Uh weaknesses. Um.

SPEAKER_05 53:37

They have no weaknesses. They have all the death immunities, and they have resistance five to physical damage except slashing.

SPEAKER_08 53:44

Okay. Slashing.

SPEAKER_05 53:47

And then we will go to this ghost that you hurt. Uh, you might want to get farther away. And she looks angry and sad. And her form begins to shimmer, and we will go to Gardas. You're not gonna move farther away?

SPEAKER_01 54:03

She's getting mad.

SPEAKER_06 54:05

Her own fault for what happens next. Um, like tattoos start to grow glow. Grow.

SPEAKER_06 54:40

SPEAKER_08 55:36

Barely injured.

SPEAKER_06 55:37

Oh no. She she's oh, she's dead. She's dead again.

SPEAKER_05 55:42

She gets hit with this divine energy, and you hear this shriek. It doesn't sound like it came from her. And all of these creatures stop and turn to look at Gardas. Anything else? Oh, that was three. That was three. Uh uh. This one moves around pops. And we'll swing on Gardas.

SPEAKER_03 56:19

She was ours to kill!

SPEAKER_05 56:23

And you uh let's see, that will be 37 to hit. Yeah, crit. 34 points of slashing damage? Yeah. Does he get a reduce that? Second attack. Is it mental slashing? It's just slashing. I thought R you might have something. And then 24 to hit.

SPEAKER_01 56:46

Resist two.

SPEAKER_05 56:47

Uh miss.

SPEAKER_01 56:48

Okay. And plus one. Oh. To AC.

SPEAKER_05 56:51

SPEAKER_04 57:07

Yeah? I'll take it.

SPEAKER_05 57:09

You could have taken it on the last one too.

SPEAKER_04 57:11

I'll take the the one that ran off of red. Uh 10 on dice plus 19 for 29 minus my frightened. For 28 minus fatigued? No. No.

unknown 57:27

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 57:28

28 you said? Yes. That's a hit. And we're still in a good damage place.

SPEAKER_08 57:38

Oh, should I lower my frightened by one since I had a turn?

SPEAKER_01 57:41

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 57:45

10 plus 4. 14 plus 12 is uh 36 bonk.

SPEAKER_05 57:52

32 bonk.

SPEAKER_04 57:53

No.

SPEAKER_05 57:54

31 bonk. Yeah. Then the one directly in front of Pops, directly underneath Gardas, who is flanking. First attack. Oh wait, that one moved once. It has a second attack. Second attack from the one up north. Uh-da. Oh, I think it god I can't track it. I think it did do it. And I missed. Yeah. So this is the one to the south. And it will be a 28 to hit. Uh hit. 24 points of slashing damage? It is going to try and grab you. Ooh, that's probably gonna play.

SPEAKER_06 58:36

What's it against again?

SPEAKER_05 58:37

Your 42 DC. Uh 37. Uh. Yeah. Crit. What happens on a crit? Restrained? Restrained. Noise. Ooh, that's bad. Uh last action swing. Natural 20. Oh.

SPEAKER_01 58:56

Shit. Plus one. Resist two.

SPEAKER_05 59:01

Oh no. 24 points of slashing damage. Wait, lucky on the low roll, it feels like. It was not great. And then we will go to Ari's turn.

SPEAKER_01 59:17

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 59:17

Uh guys. I don't know. You guys should be tracking your frighten values on Foundry as well, please.

SPEAKER_01 59:23

Oh. Um, Ari just starts banging on the drums around her waist, and she starts dancing, and she's like, all of you, get away, get back in the grave. And I need all of the undead creatures to give me a fortitude save.

SPEAKER_05 59:44

One of these. The one next to you gets a 28.

SPEAKER_01 59:51

Pass.

SPEAKER_05 59:52

The one just north of Pops. 29.

SPEAKER_01 59:57

Pass.

SPEAKER_05 59:58

The one farthest to the north. Natural 20. And the one to the south. 27.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:09

Pass. So this is gonna be positive damage. Um just two.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:17

What's this called?

SPEAKER_01 1:00:19

This is the three action um uh thing from my lacquer drums. Cool. It doesn't have a specific name. It had the potential to do 10 d8 positive damage on each of them, but instead it does five on the ones that passed.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:39

Yeah, that's still good.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:41

It was all three actions. It was not worth it. Oh no. That was very disappointing.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:50

Yeah. Then it's the revenue between Vox and Ari steps over to also get in range of Gardas. She was ours! Uh 27. Hit. 19 points of slashing damage. Don't forget you're all uh flat footed and frightened. Yep. Off guard. Last action to hit 26. Hit. 14 points of slashing damage. Then we will go to Pops.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:35

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:36

I'm down. Oh no. And grabbed. That's a really bad place to be. So then who that was the last one? So I'll drag you just behind Ari. And I won't give you the dying condition because we want to see your screen.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:54

Okay. Uh Pops is going to cast Reyes Island.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:01

Who's Rey?

SPEAKER_04 1:02:04

Ray?

SPEAKER_01 1:02:06

Ray's Island.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:07

Oh. Yeah. I got it. Uh do do do do. Uh each enemy within a 30-foot emanation must succeed a fortitude saving throw against your TC. Or be swept up to 15 feet to another location of your choice by the within the affected area, or become off guard until the start of your next turn.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:29

Or become off guard.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:31

And become off guard.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:33

Uh I got a 25, one to the south. That's a pass. Just work my way up. Twenty nine.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:44

Uh also a pass.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:47

Uh twenty two.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:50

That's a fail. And twenty two. Also fail. So the two up top failed. Oh, excellent. That's perfect. Um, I don't suppose I could push them on the other side of the fence, like the island's coming up and they slip off of it. Oh, those were the two that failed it? Yeah, the two up top. Um, yeah, I'll still take that. That's what you wanted? Yeah, I'll do I'll do that. And then um And they're off guard. And they're off guard, and then uh everybody that's around me is on the pillar now. Let's see here.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:27

Speed.

SPEAKER_08 1:03:31

How tall is it? Is it a five-foot emanation?

SPEAKER_04 1:03:33

It's a five-foot emanation. Uh the actual rays. Oh god. Yeah. Okay. Uh then if you're on a surface, a pillar of earth rises beneath you, lasts for one minute. The pillar is ten feet tall. The surface includes a space of a five-foot emanation.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:46

Pullers are just spilling out of this pillar. Bone pillar, yes. Awesome.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:50

Uh, nickname in high school. After the pillar rises, you can attempt a melee strike on one enemy in your reach. Come on, kill that one. Yeah, we're gonna we're the yeah, the southwest one. We're gonna swing on him. And that's the one that was grappling me. Okay, here comes the swing.

unknown 1:04:09

Come on, get it.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:10

I'm gonna hero point that two. Ooh. Because I'd really like to do some damage here. Mm-hmm. I would like you to also. Uh that's 11 on dice for a uh do do do dirty 30 minus uh fatigue. No. Drained. No. Fear? I'm not frightened anymore. Should be okay then. Should be okay. So 30. 30's a hit. Here comes the damage.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:42

Yeah, and by the way, the reason I'm unconscious is because of the drained. It was 114 or 113 is what I got hit, and I have 118 hit points, but the drained.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:52

16 damage.

unknown 1:04:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:56

Low damage roll. And that's my turn.

SPEAKER_08 1:05:03

Red. Red is going to move up and over, uh, just north of the little pillar that life created right next to box. And he's gonna cash uh cast Life's Fresh Bloom.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:17

Oh.

SPEAKER_08 1:05:18

So um I had previously killed an undead to charge my armor, so now I gotta take my charge note off.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:24

Uh isn't that a reaction to charge your armor?

SPEAKER_08 1:05:27

Or no? No. Well, I mean, when somebody Yeah, but I've it's been charged for like status fight. You know what I mean? Um so um the ground around you blooms with life, sprouting sparkling grass, flowers, and small shrubs. Each living non Nendoro creature that starts their turn standing in the ground of the affected area recovers 1d6 hit points and gains a five foot status penalty to speed until the end of its next turn. Um Nendoro Fiends and Undead that start in the area um and Instead, become sick and one unless they succeed at a fortitude saving throw. So you want to hit me with them fortitude saving throws? All four of them? So many saves. That's why I moved so I could get all four.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:12

Uh going left to right, I got uh twenty-two. Fail. Twenty-nine. Success. One to the south. Uh some sort of number I can't even imagine. Thirty. Success. And uh one to the uh same thing.

SPEAKER_08 1:06:33

So at least one of them got sickened, and you guys all get a d6a. Don't two of them? What? Didn't the first two fail? Or am I meaningful? Yeah, the first two failed. Okay. So they're sickened.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:43

Can it be s oh they should be sickened if it's for our specifically independent.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:47

Do we roll our own health or do you do that for us?

SPEAKER_05 1:06:50

He'll do it for you at the beginning of your turn.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:52

Each of our turns.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:55

Move to action spelly thing, that's it. Mm-hmm. Beginning of round four. It's the one right between red and pops there in the center. It's looking at Gardas. Do you still have a frame value, Red?

SPEAKER_08 1:07:12

Oh. Thank you for reminding me. Let me fix that.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:15

Uh it'll swing at Vox.

SPEAKER_08 1:07:17

Can't does it have reach? It's up ten feet in the air. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:19

Oh, good point. It'll swing at Pops.

SPEAKER_08 1:07:21

Bring it.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:26

25.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:27

That is a miss. Yes, that's a miss.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:33

Second attack on Pox. 31.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:38

That's a hit, no crit.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:41

19 points of flashing damage. Okay. Uh, and then it'll grab you. Uh that'll probably play. Uh 33 to grab.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:54

Against my reflex. 40. DC. Uh pass. No crit.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:02

Then. Oh, you know what? Retributive strike.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:06

Can you get it from there if it's 10 feet in the air?

SPEAKER_07 1:08:08

I got reach.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:11

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 1:08:13

Oh yeah. Um. Life you're gonna get that. 35 to hit, and you get nine points of or ten points of damage reduction. Nice. 35 is a crit. Nice. Um 16. Uh 32 doubled, sorry. I said five points of. Shoot, I'm doing this wrong again. Reduction. No, you get 10 points of damage. 10 points of reduction. Okay. I'm so sorry. 36 total.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:40

Slashing. Special. Specialization.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:43

Dude, I swear to god, you've done more damage with retributive strike than that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:08:51

You get hit twice every round with no map, basically.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:55

The one holding Gardas will constrict, increasing his dying value by one. Oh, I guess you should roll the fortitude save in case it's a critical fail. Huh? To stabilize or whatever? No. What am I doing? You're rolling a fortitude save.

SPEAKER_08 1:09:11

Okay. Oh, for the constriction. For the boa?

SPEAKER_06 1:09:18

Uh 27. 27.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:23

That's a pass, so you'll go to dying two. That's all we were really looking for, making sure you didn't critically fail it. You go to dying two. Oh, and I didn't move you in the right order. I put you. Oh wait, no, it was the one up north. That's right. That's right, yeah. I did it. Yeah, I did good. You did it good.

SPEAKER_08 1:09:40

You did it good.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:42

Then it'll swing at pops with its other hand. For a 33.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:56

That's a hit, no crit.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:59

14 points of slashing damage. Okay. And then it is going to. This is interesting. How far oh, it's a five-foot emanation for your pillar? Yes. Okay. So she's right on the edge. Yeah, if she wanted to go that way, but if she wanted to go south, then she'd have to go another step. She wants to drag you off. I guess she could drag you off the other side of the fence.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:25

Yeah, she can try.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:28

Taking you with her. Would you take falling damage? Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:35

No. He lands on his feet.

SPEAKER_08 1:10:40

Well, that's bad. Like a wrestler taking a bump. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:44

And then you do you have. Did you already use your uh strike pops? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:49

Red did.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:50

No pops. Oh, for this round, you know what? Yeah, you can do it. On a step? Oh.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:57

Can you step down seven feet?

SPEAKER_08 1:10:59

While dragging somebody? That's a good question. It probably is just a step.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:04

I don't think so. That sounds ridiculous.

SPEAKER_08 1:11:06

To drag them?

SPEAKER_05 1:11:07

Then why wouldn't he take the falling down? Like, I don't know. We're really splitting hairs here.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:11

Yes, can't fall. Yeah, I have I treat all falls as 25 foot less. Doesn't say I have to be conscious. Okay, well she lands on top of you then.

SPEAKER_08 1:11:22

And you take the damage from somebody falling on you.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:27

Uh dragging. In some situations you might drag an object or a creature rather than carry it. If you're dragging something, you treat the bulk as half. Typically, you drag one thing at a time. You must use both hands to do so, and you drag slowly. Roughly 50 feet per minute using the total bulk of what you're dragging. For instance, the dragging sack filled with treasure. Total bulk of this does not help.

SPEAKER_08 1:11:47

Yeah, that's still and that's character stuff, not mocking.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:50

50 feet per minute, though.

SPEAKER_08 1:11:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:53

Your speed is at least 10 feet. If you're dragging at 50 feet per minute, I don't think your speed would be 10 feet. That's first step.

unknown 1:12:03

Yo.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:04

He's not gonna take it.

SPEAKER_08 1:12:05

He's not he's changed his mind. He's saving it for later. He thinks that there'll be a more important opportunity later. Okay, here we go.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:13

Natural 20. Nice natural 20, baby. And I'm still on Titan Breaker. Here comes the damage. Okay, so that's eight plus three for eleven plus twelve is uh twenty-three. Doubled is forty-six. Yeah. You're a salt. Man, those things were tough.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:43

Uh Gardus. So I regain 1d6 hit points. You do. Five. Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:50

I didn't get a turn.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:52

Oh, did we just skip Ari?

SPEAKER_01 1:12:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:12:54

She had it coming. She was being sassy earlier.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:59

For good reason. I see him from where I'm standing.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:02

It definitely seems like that's all up to you guys at this point.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:06

Okay. Well then just to play it safe, I'm going to move to the north, just above red.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:14

Ari also regained hit points. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:16

Um Ari's going to cast a fourth level soothe on Gardas. So I got six hit points back. You said?

SPEAKER_08 1:13:26

Yep.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:33

SPEAKER_06 1:13:42

I have I'm using my phone for a calculator.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:45

And yeah, I'll use my phone for a calculator just to double check my work. And uh that's my turn.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:51

Artis. So I regained five hit points from his thing. So I have I'm down 59 hit points now. So roughly half. Um, let's see. So I'm on the ground, but on top of the thing. You've soiled yourself. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Holy shit. I don't know if you're still framed or not. Get up, Gardas.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:14

There's work to be done.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:16

Okay. Uh stand up, grab my axe. So that's two actions. Get out of there. Well, like if I use one action to run away, I'm not gonna get very far. He might be safer up on top of the pillar. Yeah. There's only one monster up there, and I just killed you guys. So I don't know if I.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:36

Yeah, but if he gets shoved off the pillar over the fence.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:38

That's true. Then he's toast.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:45

Just kill this person.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:48

I won't be able to. Or move to the other side of Pops. He still has his turn. You could that's what I was thinking was moving to the other side of Pops, so at least I'm not in worried about getting pushed over the fence. Fuck it. You know what? Gardus doesn't think like that.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:05

He's mad.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:06

Oh no. Um no.

unknown 1:15:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:13

So strike at, yeah. Uh I'm growling, like looking at this thing right in front of me as I grab my axe and stand up to my feet. Um and swing at that one.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:25

I feel a crit.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:28

Oh, that could be. Ooh, not bad. 18 on the dice. Yep. Uh oh my god. Where's that? So uh 35. 35.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:39

That's a crit.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:41

Told you I felt it. Yeah, you did. I felt it.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:43

And so, oh, I need lots of dice because I have my frost. This is the first time I've hit with the frost weapon. Nice. Nice. So that's sixes.

SPEAKER_08 1:15:52

They're immune to frost. Right? They're frost healing. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:57

Why are you healing them?

SPEAKER_06 1:16:00

So that's 4d12 and 2d6. Oh, wait, no, it's not. I'm an idiot. We just double things, right? We just double things. 4d12. Still doing the 5e thing. Yeah, I'm still working in D. I haven't played D D in a long time.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:15

Level 8 is really kind to you.

SPEAKER_06 1:16:18

Oh, that's pretty good. Oh, nice. Two 11s, uh, one on the frost. So it's I think she's also like slowed or something. Two frost damage. Yeah, she'll save. 52 slashing damage. Wow! She's probably two and two frost damage.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:40

I don't know, man. These guys are so tough.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:42

Uh just give me the so did you double your frost? Yeah, I did, yeah. Okay, so 54 total? Yes.

SPEAKER_08 1:16:48

Yes. 54 total damage. Unless it succeeds at a DC 24 fortitude save, it is slowed.

SPEAKER_09 1:16:55

Yep.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:58

Uh 24. No. No, I'm looking at the wrong number.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:05

How convenient.

SPEAKER_08 1:17:08

He's gonna come back at 70.

unknown 1:17:11

21.

SPEAKER_05 1:17:13

So slow one. Grab your axe stood up, swing. We'll go to this one outside the fence, and she begins to climb her way over very slowly, not feeling well. You see her gagging. Kind of like a cat. It'll swing on red. Uh last action. Cracked. Bummer. 24. That's a miss. And then the other one will be able to climb over next to Ari, but with that move and then the climb, that is all it has, Pops.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:55

Okay. Tick down the island one more.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:59

Ari's just glaring at it.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:00

You get two heal, Pops. Two heal?

SPEAKER_01 1:18:03

Yep.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:04

Okay. Okay. Pops is going to spark transcendence on Titanbreaker. He's gonna shift that over to Scars of the Survivor. Gardus, you're gonna get the 17 Radiant. Thank you. And here comes the swing. Eight plus nineteen for a twenty-seven to hit. That's a hit. Hell yeah. This damage is trash. Uh twenty-six damage. And I guess I still have one more action. I'm gonna try. Oh no, that's maps. I will try to.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:58

Wait, that didn't kill it?

SPEAKER_04 1:19:00

Nope. These things are tough, man.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:03

Mm-hmm. Um currently near death.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:08

I guess I've only got a five on the maps. I'm gonna try and shove her off. On top of red. Yeah. I'm gonna try and shover.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:17

Look out.

unknown 1:19:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:21

Is that an athletics, I assume? Mm-hmm. Okay. Here comes the roll.

SPEAKER_05 1:19:25

Or maybe a survival if your card is.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:29

It's for your survival. Uh that's an 18 on dice plus athletics. 19 for a uh 37, is that right? No, that's not right at all. Umteen plus nineteen. Okay, excellent. Yeah, 37. I'm going to win my brain.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:46

Believe in yourself.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:47

Your maps.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:47

Minus five. Minus five.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:50

Uh standard pass. I was gonna say crit shove. You actually push an over pops and then over red and lands on Ari. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_09 1:19:59

That's exactly what he wanted.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:01

Yeah, shove him, I shove, shove, sh I have a choice of which way? Not really the way.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:07

Okay. But they can't share spaces, so it would go here.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:10

Nice. That's exactly what Ari wants. He's now being flanked.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:15

It might be prone, but how tall is the pillar? Ten feet. Oh yeah. That's fine. Um it would probably land prone though, right? What does Shupp say?

SPEAKER_08 1:20:28

On a success, you push the target back five feet, you can stride after it, but on but you must move in the same distance and the same direction. Okay, so no, she's not technically prone. Yeah. It doesn't say that.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:42

It's just GM's decision at that point.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:44

I'm gonna say prone though, because off the cliff sort of thing.

SPEAKER_08 1:20:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:48

Uh anything else, Pops?

SPEAKER_04 1:20:51

That is all of my actions.

SPEAKER_08 1:20:53

Red. Red is gonna sustain the spell. I guess I also get healing, don't I? But I'm already full, so I don't need it. You still rolled it though. I still rolled it. I'm so excited to roll dice all the time. Um He's gonna command Violet to keep Ari safe. And then he's gonna stab at the sickened monster to the uh west that just climbed over the fence and is next to the pillar. Roll the stab. Ooh. So often the dice looks like it's gonna be done rolling and then it flips over and it's a bad number, and this time it gave me a good number. How does uh 32 strike you?

SPEAKER_05 1:21:31

That's a hit.

SPEAKER_08 1:21:34

Um 15 points of slashing damage.

SPEAKER_05 1:21:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 1:21:39

And that's my whole turn. Oh, and then Baby Violet gets to go. And so Violet's gonna take a little chompy chomp to the one on the north. Um 31. Uh hit. Seven points of eight points of damage. Is this Violet's first kill? Yeah, it would be that dies. Does eight kill it? Oh my goodness. You heard it here first, folks. Shaking it around in its mouth. Yeah. Zombie fight in a graveyard on a snowy night. Violet's first return. Alright, and uh I think that's all that Violet's gonna do. Well, I don't know. I gave I told her to keep Ari safe, so I'm gonna say that she can move up and around. To the to the other one. Up to the north.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:24

And it is the beginning of round five. How long does the sicken last? Um while they're in the area, do they get different saves?

SPEAKER_08 1:22:35

Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I guess I'm sustaining the spell, so I don't know if that's the same.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:39

At the beginning of each other rounds, sort of thing. Uh so this one gets a 29. Success. No longer sickened. Uh so first action swings at Ari. For a 26. Hit. Retributive strike. 11 damage.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:04

I'm at 69.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:06

You're not gonna take all 11 of that.

SPEAKER_08 1:23:07

Yeah, you're gonna get 10 back. The retributive strike is a 36.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:12

That's uh crit.

SPEAKER_08 1:23:15

28 points of damage. Slashing damage. Oh, and you know what? We're- I can do something else for a first time. If it's okay with you.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:25

What can you do?

SPEAKER_08 1:23:26

Um Violet has support benefit, so she can use one of her actions since we started a new round to clamp on to the person that I just hit. As a reaction. Yeah, so I'm I don't really understand how it works.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:40

It just says that um if it's the support benefit, it's not a reaction.

SPEAKER_08 1:23:44

Yeah, it well says well, it uses an action.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:47

What does it say?

SPEAKER_08 1:23:48

It says, um Your crocodile clamps its jaws on the foe, refusing to let go until the start of your next turn. If your strike damages a creature in the crocodile's reach, your crocodile can latch onto the creature while thus attached. The crocodile can be a little bit more than a little bit. This wasn't a strike, though.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:03

This was your retributive strike.

SPEAKER_08 1:24:05

Yeah, Violet doesn't have reactions.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:07

But it's not It's still one action to support. So unless it says specifically that it can be used as a reaction or that it gets too much.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:15

And when your thing does a support ability, it doesn't get its other actions.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:18

So I I would think that that would be something that's it's used on it its turn, not on your reaction.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:27

Okay. Uh second attack on Ari. Damn. 17. Uh last attack on Ari. Uh 28.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:41

Hit.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:46

24 points of slashing damage. Only a lot of sevens. Uh then we will go to Ari's turn.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:55

Okie dokie. Ari is not interested in sticking around here. So she's going to move diagonally backwards about 15 feet so that all of her friends are her meat shield. And then she's going to start wailing on the drums again. And I need the one that is more injured to the north, next to Baby Violet, to give me a fortitude save.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:29

Uh 32.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:30

That is a success. So I will roll 5d8.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:35

At least it was only one fortitude.

SPEAKER_06 1:25:39

Yeah, and the place we moved is kind of like right behind and to the side of Pops' pillar, so it's like you go and hide behind the pillar and start casting spells from around the corner. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:53

So 16 damage. I actually rolled really well that time. And it was um 32 halved. So that is um positive damage. So like a pulse of positive energy comes out of the drums and targets that creature.

SPEAKER_08 1:26:09

You also turn two hit points back.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:12

Oh, cool.

SPEAKER_06 1:26:14

Gardis. Okay. You get three hit points back. Three hit points? No. Okay, so the one um up on the pillar, I think the one directly below me, I am going to hit up with the holy light. So, range spell attack versus AC. Um. My tattoos glow and just shoot down my arm as I'm pointing it- pointing at it. Oh, that's a shitty roll. Uh. Got that hero point. I know I do. But it's my last one. I'm fine. I'm gonna use my hero point. Natural three. I wanna I wanna I wanna hit this. Uh, it's not great. Eight plus fourteen. So twenty two versus AC then. Probably still a miss. Miss. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:18

Dang.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:19

Um.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:20

How could you miss? It's right there.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:22

Alright. I'm like shooting fish in a barrel and just miss. Uh damn. Dump the barrel out. Um.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:31

Hit him with the people's elbow.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:33

Yeah. It is from the top left pillow. One action left.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:39

I guess I am going. How how are you on hit points, Pops? I'm doing okay. I'll be fine. Alright, I'm just gonna single action heal myself then.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:48

Selfish.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:48

And that's it.

SPEAKER_05 1:27:50

And fortitude saves.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:27:53

Uh I think I crushed that one. 30. Oh, it's what the second case. I'm just gonna remove it. He's not even listening. Quit talking about my bloom, goddamn it. You didn't really clarify what you were doing. Um action, climb onto the pillar. Next action, swing at Gardas.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:22

This is the one that Gardas just tried to attack.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:26

Uh 30. 30 to hit Gardas. Hit. And I healed myself for like 21 points of effect.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:09

Alright, Ari is going to do rallying Anthem. She will start um singing a hymn of healing on herself.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:20

Gardis. Um, okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:23

She's like, you got this, guys. It's nearly dead, dead.

SPEAKER_08 1:33:26

You got two points of healing from me.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:27

Sweet.

SPEAKER_08 1:33:28

So I am going to get two points of healing.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:32

Two points of healing? Worth it. Worth it. Um. Ooh, this is something that I can do. Uh I want to cast my uh what is it? The strike that I hit and heal at the same time. I can't even remember what it was called. Rejuvenibus reject. Yes, restore. Reunibus. Reju. Restore. They're naked most of the time. But it feels so good. So the way that it works is I cast the heal on myself and I use my reaction to do my. God, why am I just brainfarting that thing? No, the one that I can move on. Oh yeah, you get to move for the spells. And so I can move 10 feet with Zealous Rush. Thank you. I can move 10 feet, so I'm just going to hop off the side there. Um and then strike.

SPEAKER_05 1:34:27

You actually don't fall quick enough to get the strike off this turn.

Oh my god, natural 20.

SPEAKER_05 1:34:39

Yeah. This is it for her. He's gonna say this is the first time he's ever healed someone with this. This has never happened before.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:48

Oh, that's not nearly as good of damage, though.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:51

Six, four, ten, fourteen, uh, twenty-eight points of damage. And the healing. Who does it go to? Uh the it goes to me and red. Or he took a big hit last year. Oh, that's crap. Healing, too. Eight points of healing to me and red. Um, right.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:17

He was too zealous on that rush.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:19

Uh-huh. And then I'm going to use my third and final action to swing with the map. And flanking. Oh, God. That's a natural one.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:31

Oof.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:31

No.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:32

Natural 20, natural one.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:34

Big swings both ways.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:36

Petaver axe just flies off.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:38

You try to swing down, but you hit yourself in the foot for half damage. Oh no. And a minus five to your movement speed. Forever. Forever. Only eight.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:51

Fifteen. Uh is it? No, no, it's 15 plus 4, 19 divided by 2. So 10. Right? 9. 9. 9.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:03

And a minus 5 until you are healed by any means. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:06

So you really only took one damage on that turn. Right.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:09

Yeah. Pops thinking.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:12

Okay. Pops is going to end his concentration on the Ray's island. You get three hit points.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:18

Oh, thank you. There's just bones everywhere now in this graveyard. Oh shit. I thought I was going to kill her.

SPEAKER_08 1:36:23

It's going to make the soothing spring at the end a lot less awkward. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:31

We all saw poltergeist. I release concentration on the island. The island goes away. And then I run. Behind red.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:45

You can go through a square too if you want.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:46

Okay. I mean, we're gonna we all know I'm gonna make it.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:49

Yeah, for sure. You could run outside the fence and back.

unknown 1:36:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:52

So that's uh the shrub is on the way. I'm taking the long way.

SPEAKER_08 1:36:55

I don't want to run over this guy's grave. Taking the long way. That's respectful.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:59

Uh that's one action to move. Here comes the bonk. Oh, and uh yeah, I'm still in Titan's breaker because I didn't use it. I'm going to uh spark transcendence, two action, use Titan Breaker. I'm gonna send that over and discard the survivor. So here comes the big bonk.

SPEAKER_01 1:37:14

Big bonk.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:16

Uh 13 on dice plus 19 for a 32. Uh not a crit.

SPEAKER_05 1:37:25

If you were flanking, it would be.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:27

Titan damage plus the d6. My damage is so trash today. 8 plus 22 for a 30 bonk.

SPEAKER_08 1:37:38

I like that he says my damage is so trash and then rolls literally higher than any of those. My damage rolls. My damage rolls.

SPEAKER_05 1:37:45

Hey! As you kill this one, you hear another unbodied shriek and just rattles the trees, and the snow kind of seems to slow fall slower for a second. You guys look around, and you're not sure if you're gonna be able to pick apart the bones of this ghost versus the bones all around in this graveyard. You guys try to catch your breath, we fade to black.

SPEAKER_04 1:38:50

That's what you need.

SPEAKER_06 1:38:54

The Bruce Willis movie where he comes into town and he has that exact setup. What's it called? It used to be one of my favorite movies. Oh, Die Hard.
