Strange Fruit, Part II | Shadows of Stravia: Episode 54

Back in the Grey Plane, beneath the impossible boughs of the exiled Gulthias tree, the party finally stands before the source of the soul plague.

But the horror of what they find is far worse than the tree itself.

From its vast, twisted branches hang strange fruit.

Not apples.

Not offerings.

Not anything the world was ever meant to grow.

Within each swollen fruit, shapes stir in terrible silence—humanoid forms curled in darkness, suspended as if in utero. Half-formed. Waiting. Breathing. Becoming.

Around them move root-like shadow puppets, thin and twitching things made of bark, darkness, and stolen instinct. They tend to the fruit with awful devotion, crawling across the branches and roots like servants caring for a nursery.

A nursery of souls.

The party has only moments to take in the truth before the tree becomes aware of them.

The air changes.

The roots shift.

The fruit trembles.

And something deep within the massive trunk begins to wake.

Whatever has been feeding on the plague, whatever has been gathering souls from Light of Doruusk, whatever horror has taken root at the center of the Gulthias tree—it emerges.

Not as a beast.

Not as a spirit.

But as the tree’s will made flesh.

A guardian born from rot, shadow, and stolen life rises to defend the fruit. And it does not come alone.

The shadow puppets stir into violence. The roots begin to move. The Grey Plane twists around the party as the boundary between worlds grows thin and unstable.

What follows is one of the most dangerous battles the party has ever faced.

Seriously.

Eric might TPK the whole party.

WTF.

With the strange fruit hanging overhead and the souls of another world trapped in the balance, the party is forced into a fight where retreat may be impossible, victory may come too late, and every mistake could mean becoming part of the tree’s next harvest.

Because the Gulthias tree is not simply surviving.

It is growing something.

And now the party has seen it.

Some evils do not hide in darkness.

Some bloom.

Some are tended.

And some defend their fruit with everything they have stolen.

Transcript

SPEAKER_14 0:04

Death and destruction lay out before you like a canvas, a well-crafted painting of gore. A black tree spiraling upward, larger than you remember it being. You only saw the bottom half of this tree and the top half of this tree at different times. But in its full space, taking up the entire canopy of this area, and you look up, all four of you see souls in the treetops. And what it looks like is a pod, maybe a fruit. Within each one of these very large pods is kind of translucent and filled with a red liquid and a vaguely humanoid form inside of it in a fetal position.

SPEAKER_11 1:02

No. There's a lot of them though, right? That's a subject.

SPEAKER_14 1:04

Atop each one of these fruits is a um a kind of like opening. I think like a like a cranberry or blueberry, has like a little stem kind of a thing. And then from that there is a feeder puppet attached to it. And it's almost like it is tending to its harvest.

SPEAKER_04 1:28

Ew.

SPEAKER_14 1:29

With a natural twenty. You see how to put this the right way. You see in the twisted bark itself a an opening that has been unopened. Like if you were to crack a walnut and you see where the seam is that this thing will open up, but it is closed. There is the fruit it is feeding. You with a natural twenty can see almost the energy force, the thunk thunk thunk, coming from each one of these as veins might go to the main tree, this vampiric tree feeding on things, and you realize that the um the main trunk of the tree that looks more like a cocoon than it does a tree itself. And it is pulsating.

SPEAKER_04 2:36

Yummy.

SPEAKER_14 2:37

What do you do?

SPEAKER_10 2:39

I would narrow in on the unopened but openable spot and basically relay what it seems like as Oh, sorry, I'm gonna give you one extra thing too.

SPEAKER_14 2:58

You know now exactly 100 souls were taken. You do some counting on this, and you realize that there are only ninety-four of them currently hanging. And at the base of the cocoon area, um you see a little sliver of one of those top pieces of the fruit, but not the others.

SPEAKER_10 3:23

They've already been fed in there. I believe this is all a harvest for what lies right there, and I'll point out where it is so that others then can perceive it too, and that might help them see what is in there, or that it's an opening. But I have a strange suspicion that Laryl survived and he's in there.

SPEAKER_08 3:54

And this is all feedy that form.

SPEAKER_10 4:00

These are all parts of those taken and in some sort of harvestable form to feed what's in there. Can you see it?

SPEAKER_14 4:19

As she relays this information, I want you guys to all make a medicine check for me. Uh with advantage because you just described the uh the network that's happening.

SPEAKER_13 4:32

Seventeen?

SPEAKER_14 4:32

Twenty-one. Twenty-one. Wow.

SPEAKER_09 4:38

Twenty-five.

SPEAKER_14 4:40

Twenty-five. Um people 15 to 20 would know that directly trying to cut down any of these pieces of fruit uh humanoid harvest would probably damage them in some way. Um over a 20, you taking a look at how things are kind of spiderwebbed in with these veins that are pulsing. If you did, you know that the uh embryotic uh fluid sac within it would milk the corpse spirit on the inside.

SPEAKER_10 5:17

So you can't touch them per se. Those have to be unharmed. Six of them look like they've already been used and fed. You can see it's hops right there, next to that opening.

SPEAKER_11 5:37

Do we see anything that's like trying to protect or defend the tree? What were the things that you said are at the top in their feeder puppets. Feeder puppets. And those are the things that we would be. How many of those do is there one perfect?

SPEAKER_14 5:50

It's a one-to-one ratio.

SPEAKER_10 5:52

Is there still a hundred, even though there's not a hundred pots?

SPEAKER_14 5:54

So there's ninety-six four of them up there. Yeah, there's six unaccounted.

SPEAKER_10 6:00

Body from the tree. So I do not know. Does it look like those puppets can move away from their pots if we were to go towards the base of the tree?

SPEAKER_14 6:13

I'll give you a little bonus to that. It looks like they are connected. Um, that they are unable to unhat uh hatch without having to uh sacrifice the the thing within it.

SPEAKER_10 6:24

Okay. So they so per se there's nothing that technically can stop us right there unless they chose to give up their sacrifice. Give up the sacrifice and attack it.

SPEAKER_12 6:36

Reginald, do we want to talk to this tree? Do we care about that?

SPEAKER_02 6:40

Yeah, we do, unfortunately.

SPEAKER_10 6:42

You want to talk to the tree.

SPEAKER_02 6:44

Don't we have to talk to the tree?

SPEAKER_10 6:46

We need to kill the tree. Without killing This tree is killing everything else, and we thought we killed it once before. What is it that your dream or vision of the past believes needs to happen here for all of these worlds to be connected and saved?

SPEAKER_14 7:08

Got you some help. Phone a friend. Phone a friend. I mean, I what is it that you want to know?

SPEAKER_06 7:15

I just thought we had I thought we were I didn't know we were just going in to destroy. I thought we were gonna try to because the tree needs to go somewhere.

SPEAKER_14 7:25

Well, yeah, I I would say that um you've received some pretty strong evidence that this thing is evil, that it wants to to leave this place. Um evil because it's a good thing. I will never I will never railroad players into being like you have to fight every battle. It was evil, but you've received a lot of information that this thing is is is quite evil.

SPEAKER_10 7:46

So it killed the humble folk back where it was from, which is why we went there to begin with to save the humble folk and find out why. And it was a tree that was rooted in the ground, which was my grandmother with baby Lariel, going like, let's save Lariel, and then she stabbed herself and Lariel, and that's all we knew.

SPEAKER_06 8:05

Then we killed the tree.

SPEAKER_12 8:08

Okay.

SPEAKER_10 8:08

That's a great idea. We should kill the tree.

SPEAKER_12 8:11

I got fire. I don't want to use that slot, anyways.

SPEAKER_10 8:14

Well, I think we need to check what's in that womb. This is not this is not quite. I mean, it is a tree, but it is a cocoon at the base of it. It's a life that is sucking up all of these lives. Does that make sense?

SPEAKER_12 8:36

What's in the box? That's a good question.

SPEAKER_10 8:39

What's in the box? Should we find out? My goal would be to stealthily, it worked last time with this tree and grandmother. And I have a weird suspicion she might still be. I don't know how he would survive this if it wasn't with a human helping or not human, but are you all stealthy or are you just you?

SPEAKER_12 8:59

I can Do you have an ability to make us all stealthier?

SPEAKER_11 9:05

Pass without trace. Oh, good.

SPEAKER_12 9:10

Maybe you should cast it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 9:15

Do you cast pass without a trace? I sure do. Okay.

SPEAKER_14 9:19

Um you cast that, and you guys are all gonna get that that bonus, I think, plus ten to your rule.

SPEAKER_11 9:24

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_14 9:25

Go ahead and roll stealth.

SPEAKER_11 9:26

And leave no tracks.

SPEAKER_02 9:28

I think Borislav will probably hang back a little bit if you guys are stealthing forward. You can be within 30 feet of us and still be stealthy. I don't want to be stealth. You don't want to start step. I want to kind of be more of a bait.

SPEAKER_01 9:39

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 9:40

I want to be I want to be more visible further away to see if anything comes at me or comes for me.

SPEAKER_10 9:47

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 9:48

23. Now Borislav.

SPEAKER_10 9:50

I guess before the going in that you weren't there with us the first time.

SPEAKER_02 9:55

No, but you guys reported back about what was happening with the tree. Right. Because all I knew was there were disturbances and disappearances and Dragul told me what was going on, but didn't know that this was the extent of it.

SPEAKER_10 10:10

Well, we didn't know it went this far, then we thought it was fixed. But what I'm getting at is what is how did you get here? As you weren't with us here. What was your mission?

SPEAKER_02 10:22

At the original temple in my plane, and when your friend came back, she went through a tear and I was able to anchor and follow uh from uh a device that was given me from a friend. But it is only temporary.

SPEAKER_10 10:44

And your friend gave you this device to fix what's happening to it. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 10:51

Just making sure you come help because I'm one that wasn't taken.

SPEAKER_08 11:01

Right. Well who is your friend?

SPEAKER_02 11:06

She's a fox. A lady. Mirabel.

SPEAKER_08 11:11

Mirabel. A foxy lady.

SPEAKER_02 11:14

She is she is a Vulpin. Like a almost a medicine woman of the humble folk.

SPEAKER_08 11:24

You got to meet the person.

SPEAKER_02 11:25

She is a mummy.

SPEAKER_08 11:28

She's a mummy.

SPEAKER_02 11:29

Yes, but I can't based on what I've seen in your plane, I wouldn't want you guys to know where it is. Everything is destroyed.

SPEAKER_08 11:39

I haven't seen humble folk in my plane to be able to do that.

SPEAKER_02 11:41

It needs to remain protected in hidden.

SPEAKER_14 11:50

I'm going to move you guys forward here. Um you're choosing to remain back. You guys had stealth checks. Did anybody uh roll below a 16?

SPEAKER_11 12:00

No, 25. 30.

SPEAKER_14 12:02

Excellent. You guys are all stealthily moving forward. I would say you're now within about 60 feet of the trunk.

SPEAKER_03 12:10

Can I now do divine sense again? Um Yeah, you can't. Yeah. Do I do I feel in a a direction of where evil is or is it everywhere?

SPEAKER_14 12:22

Aaron Ross Powell The tree absolutely is undead. And as it goes up, you feel it above you in all of the um branches going out. The entire canopy above you is undead, and you are standing under the umbrella of evil. Oh evil.

SPEAKER_07 12:41

Hello. Hello.

SPEAKER_03 12:42

I say rock gods. Well, actually.

SPEAKER_10 12:47

I want it to I probably speak under my breath just like mixe with us and keep approaching stealthily to where I can notice the crack that needs to be opened and checked within.

unknown 13:04

Okay.

SPEAKER_14 13:04

So you're moving right up against the tree now?

SPEAKER_10 13:09

Stealthy feet. I'm walking with caution to see if anything else changes how it's acting.

SPEAKER_14 13:14

But we're also still 60 feet, you're going to continue to walk closer towards. Roll me another step check. And whoever is uh walking with her.

SPEAKER_03 13:22

Is this tree technically like 24?

SPEAKER_14 13:26

Like omniscense like the whole thing can just sense anything around it?

SPEAKER_12 13:32

Dang, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 13:34

31 is crazy.

SPEAKER_12 13:36

I rolled a 17, I had four, and then I added 10 from the passes that first.

SPEAKER_10 13:39

I'm not even adding the crazy other stuff. Oh, I didn't either.

SPEAKER_14 13:44

19. And you are outside of the thing. Okay. But you are still within 90 feet of the tree. I'd be about 30 feet back from where there are. I want you to roll a stealth check for me as well.

SPEAKER_10 13:55

Bang! And that's 32. I was like, I didn't do that the first time either. I think I just ignored my plus and just did your plus.

SPEAKER_03 14:05

The tree is it like flick.

SPEAKER_14 14:07

Like it can sense it like omniscent.

SPEAKER_12 14:09

Like it just, if there's something around the tree, you do not know. We don't know. Okay.

SPEAKER_14 14:14

You know that this is evil. Oh, I think it'd have been a 23. So the tree might just know we're here. As you are back there, you take one step back and your foot sucks into the mud a little bit. You guys closer to the tree feel a you realize that there is a tremor sense that is being sent through the ground, um, stepping so lightly, some of you over 30, almost hovering above it, but one suck within it. And the crack opens wider. Did it wider. And you see long fingers, griffiside. It comes out. It is uh it is a fungal in nature. It is half formed. It has kind of like mushroom growing of the side. And um it has multiple heads. It's a good name for it. A small baby's head. In the chest, head. A baby's head.

SPEAKER_07 15:28

No, it's a Larial baby head.

SPEAKER_04 15:30

It's a mushroom.

SPEAKER_14 15:33

It makes sucking sounds. No. We can make them back. Out of the topmost part of it, it almost looks like jack-o'-lantern style mouth opening and closing, razor sharp jaws and eyes that sink back into the school.

SPEAKER_07 15:50

Do you have a picture?

SPEAKER_14 15:50

And a final head off of the neck and shoulder virillia, scorns, bald head. Think like Borg coming off of it as it's grafted into this bad look. Bad look. Sure. Mouth, head, slimp and open, its eyes dead, and you could almost swear that there's a touch of life to it. It opens its mouth. Blah. Spores emit from its mouth. Want you guys to roll for initiatives. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 16:31

Sugga dick dicky dick digging.

SPEAKER_10 16:35

This is terrifying.

Chuggy, chuggy, chuggy, chuggy, chuggy, chugging chug chugga, chuggy, chuggy, chuggy, chugga, chuggy, chug, chugga, chugga, chugga, chuggy, chuggy, chugga.

SPEAKER_12 16:50

Aren't we more than sixty feet away from Boris Log though?

SPEAKER_10 17:02

I don't know. It's more than sixty.

SPEAKER_12 17:04

I know that because we left him. We stealthed ahead and he stayed there, and then we went sixty feet more towards the lot.

SPEAKER_10 17:12

We're gonna be out in the tree.

SPEAKER_14 17:15

Tree is hopefully won't see us here. Um and that means you guys were this way, assuming the tree was over here. Yeah. Is that right? Assuming this is a tight squeeze.

SPEAKER_02 17:32

Oh.

SPEAKER_11 17:33

She's just a rhyming and timing.

SPEAKER_02 17:36

This feels good to me.

SPEAKER_03 17:39

Damn. Thriving?

SPEAKER_11 17:40

Oh yeah? No, that's worse.

SPEAKER_03 17:44

Rhyming and thriving. All right. You gotta make the word fit, you know.

SPEAKER_14 17:48

Learn that from my boy Marshall Mathers. Um you guys initiative? Yes. Oh, that is a natural 20 for me. Let's go.

SPEAKER_12 18:01

Did you know the MM had to spell it like phonetically because he was worried about getting a little bit more than a little bit more than MM's of his initials? You had a four? I got a four.

SPEAKER_02 18:10

Oh, you're less. Anyone get lower than a four?

SPEAKER_07 18:13

SPEAKER_10 21:09

Which mouth? The top mouth or the baby mouth or virilia? Like, what does the main creature look like that these babies are sticking down on?

You don't think it would be a very good shield? Uh, but as it approaches, I've drawn like a frowny face on it. Yes. And then as it approaches, I glance out and you see this kind of explosion of color as it reflects off of the magic. Nice. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.

It is going to cast charm person on you. Which you have advantage on because we're fighting the thing.

SPEAKER_10 25:25

Right.

SPEAKER_14 25:27

You need to be the DC wisdom of 18.

SPEAKER_10 25:31

Is my wisdom safe? Hold on.

SPEAKER_12 25:33

Oh, shoot. Yeah. Oh, now I know. Yeah, so save that for those. Okay.

SPEAKER_10 25:42

Um advantage.

SPEAKER_14 25:55

Yep, you get advantageous since you're in combat with her.

SPEAKER_10 25:58

Moved it off there. I don't know if I think it's I think it was that one. Um that is not going to beat it. I think it was a 10 both. So let me check real quick.

SPEAKER_08 26:11

I have that. My um So if I do.

SPEAKER_07 26:19

Oh, I'm gonna be an end on my next. So crossbow, crossbow, and then I have it out.

SPEAKER_10 26:26

I'm trying to check my ring to make sure to see whether or not blocks charm, but I know it does other things.

SPEAKER_11 26:32

It's not a bonus attack.

SPEAKER_14 26:34

I'm gonna go ahead and just say that you're under the charmed condition unless you find something later, and then you can say actually it is the case. So I'm gonna say that you currently are under the charmed condition. If somebody could grab one of those um handy dandy little markers. Um Zelphera. Tree charmed her? Yes, that you are charmed. You um regard this as a creature that you don't want to harm. You are unable to um you know cast anything uh negative or attack it while under this charmed condition.

SPEAKER_05 27:08

Hmm.

SPEAKER_14 27:09

That is gonna end its turn. Requiem, you're up.

SPEAKER_11 27:13

Um, I want to. I'm gonna get my crossbow out. My brace. Okay. And I'm gonna crossbow, crossbow.

SPEAKER_13 27:24

Uh, at what?

SPEAKER_11 27:25

At the big tree. Oh, wait. These things are still in front of us, aren't they? Was that a con saint?

SPEAKER_14 27:35

Yeah, I'll aim for um It was wisdom that you were rolling in.

SPEAKER_11 27:41

I guess the ones right in front of me. Okay.

SPEAKER_14 27:44

Okay.

SPEAKER_11 27:50

So uh twelve to hit. Hits on that first one.

SPEAKER_07 27:58

Alter still.

SPEAKER_14 28:00

Okay, um, and call out the number or the the colors.

SPEAKER_13 28:04

Blue to ten damage shot. Okay, thanks.

SPEAKER_07 28:10

Eight orange damage again.

SPEAKER_11 28:16

Eight damage on that.

SPEAKER_13 28:18

To orange, eight damage.

SPEAKER_11 28:20

Uh-oh. So I'm gonna use my um ghost glow, so it's gonna shed radiant light on it on hit. Okay. That second one. Um sorry, it's really hard to remember all the things. And then hunters mark. Can I hunter's mark that?

SPEAKER_12 28:38

Sure.

SPEAKER_11 28:39

Okay, I'm gonna.

SPEAKER_12 28:39

Heck yeah, you can.

SPEAKER_11 28:40

Yeah, I'm gonna hunter's mark that.

SPEAKER_12 28:47

All those branches and I missed all of them. Okay.

SPEAKER_11 28:50

And then um yeah. I'm just gonna yeah.

unknown 28:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_12 28:55

Smiley. Alright. If this works, don't hit him. Pull out my sponge. Apparently it's a sponge. I thought it was a paintbrush, but it's a sponge, yeah. I probably have both. I'm a I have lots of artists at pull out my sponge and um see me kind of furiously throwing paint in the air, kind of scatters in a 30-foot cube, um, which I believe hits all those guys. Okay. Uh, and I'm casting a hypnotic pattern.

SPEAKER_01 29:30

Well.

SPEAKER_12 29:31

Um, and so they um I'm gonna try and not hit any of my allies if that's possible.

SPEAKER_14 29:41

I think it's possible because it's a cube. So you can send it away from that.

SPEAKER_12 29:45

Basically, right in front of us and the tree.

SPEAKER_14 29:47

Okay. So tell me which uh which one specifically you're are you're able to hit all of them?

SPEAKER_12 29:52

Uh well, it's a 30-foot cube, so five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five. Yes, all of them. Okay. What did you just cast? Hypnotic pattern.

unknown 30:08

I heard that.

SPEAKER_12 30:08

And so it's a uh wisdom wisdom 16. Okay. And if they fail, then they are charmed for a minute. They have an incapacitate condition and a speed of zero.

SPEAKER_14 30:22

Okay. Um, let's start with uh the big boy. Um, it rolls a 13 and will use a legendary action to choose to succeed instead of.

SPEAKER_05 30:40

Ooh.

unknown 30:41

Okay.

SPEAKER_14 30:42

Um the feeder puppets will go down the line here. They have my uh that's here, zero. So these are straight rolls. What's the DC they gotta be? 16. 16. Um blue fails. Umange gets a natural 20. Oof. Um the uh red fails, yellow fails, and the purple succeeds. Nice. So um orange and purple uh succeed. So three of them are influenced. Sorry, you said blue, red, blue, red, and yellow. Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 31:24

Okay, so basically they'll be stoned out of their minds looking at that if no one hurts them or if nothing uses their action to shake them awake. Okay.

SPEAKER_11 31:32

Nice. Fun.

SPEAKER_14 31:36

Nice job, dude.

SPEAKER_01 31:38

Item.

SPEAKER_14 31:39

Um, anything else you want to do? Any movement? Um I still have a shield right now. Yes. So I will run away. Okay.

unknown 31:52

Run away.

SPEAKER_14 31:52

Okay, gonna take his attack of opportunity.

SPEAKER_00 31:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 31:57

Back towards Borislav.

SPEAKER_14 31:59

11 to hit you. Yeah. Holding my shield up. Okay. No. Alright. Well done, dude. Uh, is that complete your turn? Yes. Excellent.

SPEAKER_11 32:13

How long does shield last?

SPEAKER_14 32:14

Up next, uh and you don't have protection from good evil. Who's on next time? That's uh me. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 32:20

That's me.

SPEAKER_14 32:21

Huh?

SPEAKER_11 32:21

How long does shield last?

SPEAKER_12 32:22

Shield's the rest of the tip of my next turn. Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 32:24

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_04 32:31

Okay. I'm not gonna do what I was gonna do, so I'll just dash to get into combat.

SPEAKER_00 32:38

10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 6, 70, 75, 80. Oh! Oh no!

SPEAKER_11 32:49

He dashed too hard.

SPEAKER_04 32:51

He broke his foot. Actually, he's fine. I think he should have glued it.

SPEAKER_10 32:55

Yeah, I think it's just the base. Yeah. He's okay. He's okay. He just needs to be re-glued to his base.

SPEAKER_14 33:01

Yeah. Do you want this guy? I got this guy.

unknown 33:08

Okay.

SPEAKER_14 33:08

It's alright. He's alright. He's just lying. He's just laying down.

SPEAKER_11 33:12

He's just like, oh my god, that was just right. Just this.

SPEAKER_14 33:14

Yeah. Alright. So that is movement action. You have a bonus action you're trying to do. Uh no.

SPEAKER_02 33:23

Well. I'm gonna cast uh healing word on Sophira.

SPEAKER_09 33:34

Oh no. Don't do that.

SPEAKER_14 33:39

I don't know. Uh I would say with your background and living and cohabitating with undead creatures, you probably would know. Yeah. That probably would be common sense.

SPEAKER_12 33:47

Reggie got dinged pretty good, too. Yeah, you could always throw the roll.

SPEAKER_02 33:52

Reggie would take that. Uh I'll give a healing word to Reggie. Like the idea, you know. Six points of healing. Update level one. I'll take anything.

SPEAKER_07 34:03

We know.

SPEAKER_14 34:05

Space. Okay. That's it. All right. Up next is Zilfira. You're under the charmed condition.

SPEAKER_10 34:11

Yes. Very confused because yeah, the ring says things against identity and/or thoughts and all that, but nothing says charm specific.

SPEAKER_14 34:19

So I think you're charmed right now. Yep. And it's it's one of those weird things where like charmed is like, you're friendly towards the thing. You are not friendly towards a thing, but you do there's something about it. Maybe it's the look in our eyes. You're like, I can't, I can't attack this thing. There's a yeah.

SPEAKER_10 34:36

So it's just the tree itself, right? Correct. Um man, I don't know. I think I would. Um probably bonus action disengage.

SPEAKER_05 34:53

Okay.

SPEAKER_10 34:54

Fetting any sort of uh, well, I don't know how far I disengage.

SPEAKER_14 34:59

I will be a kind DM and say with the condition that those things are in, you would not have had any attack of opportunity against you.

SPEAKER_10 35:05

Well, my bonus action disengage.

SPEAKER_14 35:07

You wouldn't have not you would not have had to burn it. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_10 35:10

Oh, so I wouldn't have to. Oh, okay. Well, then.

SPEAKER_14 35:12

Yeah, they're baked during it.

SPEAKER_10 35:15

And then I think instead of attacking, since I can't do that, and my mind is kind of playing against me right now, like I know what situation we're in, but for some reason I'm like, what is a quick inside check for me. Okay.

SPEAKER_14 35:28

For fun.

SPEAKER_10 35:32

21. Nice.

SPEAKER_14 35:34

This thing is evil. You know that, and it is preying off of your emotions because it felt the um the connection between, and it is now using that as active leverage, knowing that you won't attack by doing this thing. Because I didn't even attack my grandma later. So you you know this and you're just like, oh fuck that thing. But like I'm mad at it. It's manipulating me. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 35:56

But so I guess in turn, what I would be trying to see is whether or not I truly believe what's in it is undead.

unknown 36:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 36:05

Okay.

SPEAKER_10 36:05

And whether or not I can. So my ring can technically animate dead itself.

SPEAKER_06 36:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_10 36:13

So I guess like for my turn, since I know I can't actively attack it, I'm trying to outsmart it and see whether or not I can take its undead creatures and turn them against it.

SPEAKER_05 36:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_14 36:22

That's all I'm trying to like figure out.

SPEAKER_10 36:25

Um if I can, I can animate undead, like within around me.

SPEAKER_14 36:30

It's like um, you can animate dead, right? Not animate, not animate undead. Undead are already animated.

SPEAKER_10 36:39

The undead creature this way are marked with faint silver eyes and obey your commands. So it is, it is like, so let me find it.

unknown 36:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 36:47

It's called animate dead, but it says undead. You may control undead created by this ring. Okay. Even if they exceed your normal control limit, like whenever it is a reaction, basically.

SPEAKER_14 36:57

Away uh some of these creatures from her. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 37:01

That is an interesting. I think that's smart.

SPEAKER_14 37:03

I love the creativity. Let's let's do it. Um you are going to actively try to wrest these things away. Um, is there a saving throw that I need to make and challenge for you? Because it's essentially, you know, my BBG against you battling it out for um the control of these things.

SPEAKER_10 37:31

Uh, not necessarily that I see that it says saving throw. Hold on.

SPEAKER_14 37:40

Because basically what it We're gonna do um just your spellcasting modifier versus mine, and we're gonna do rollies.

SPEAKER_10 37:47

Okay.

SPEAKER_14 37:49

And modifier.

SPEAKER_10 37:50

I always forget where I find my modifier. Spellcasty. Is that under abilities and saves? So you just go to spell, it should be a spell spells.

SPEAKER_14 38:02

Should be towards the top. Okay, that's pretty good. Um 23 is what you got.

SPEAKER_08 38:07

Well, I have like anime dead. Let's see, where's Spotify? If I'm actually on the spell, see, I don't have it hitting towards the top. Can you see? See.

SPEAKER_11 38:15

Because I just was on my phone one. So I'm gonna. Oh, yours looks completely different, does my? I don't really have a list of spells. Um, Reggie, you're Reginald.

SPEAKER_14 38:23

You are gonna be on uh you're gonna be up next. Yeah, you're using it. Followed by me.

SPEAKER_11 38:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_14 38:28

I am all ready to go.

SPEAKER_10 38:30

Can you use a charge from where you my ring has three charges? And like basically the animate dead is a reaction that the ring does whenever something tries to do a hostile like spell or tries to attack me in any type of way.

SPEAKER_14 38:45

When you go to your spell stuff at the very top, it should just say spell it should say spell attack modifier at the top.

SPEAKER_10 38:50

Hers looks compl I've never seen it. It just shows this. It looks it shows my ring because that's the only spell. Yeah, this is on the end. Oh, I've I've only ever gone in the room. And it doesn't show. Maybe if I go here.

SPEAKER_14 39:01

Um I have a feeling that intelligence is gonna be your highest because you that's your kind of background. So how about you use your intelligence modifier?

SPEAKER_07 39:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_14 39:08

Yep. Your mastermind. Oh. So that makes it.

SPEAKER_07 39:11

Intelligence modifier is plus three.

SPEAKER_09 39:21

Twenty?

SPEAKER_14 39:22

Fails. Twenty-three on my side. Oh um, so you do it, and for a moment, there's like this locked thing, you know, like two wrestlers that are almost like locked up, but eventually, whoosh, you're pushed back and they retain control.

SPEAKER_10 39:37

Alright. Well, I mean, I think at that point I just go into defensive mode. Are you gonna say out loud to anybody that you're unable to attack it? Oh, yeah, I guess actually because I didn't use my bonus action to disengage since you gave that back to me. I will yell. Who's next on there?

SPEAKER_06 39:59

Reginald. Reggie.

SPEAKER_10 40:00

Reggie, I will yell and I'll also be doing the help assist like help action for him so you get advantageous and be like, this damn thing must have a hold on my mind. I can't attack it. Nice.

SPEAKER_13 40:12

All right, Reginald. Do your best. Don't worry, Z.

SPEAKER_10 40:15

I got help action.

SPEAKER_14 40:16

Um, can you move me between the two charmed up to the tree? Yeah, get up in there.

SPEAKER_11 40:26

I want you to walk like this, like your whole uh separator. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_14 40:30

Just be like grazing the top.

SPEAKER_11 40:32

Oh, well, they're charmed.

SPEAKER_03 40:35

I pull out my swad that is glowing blue. Yeah. Yeah. I take my other hand and I cast curse upon him. Okay. And then I'm gonna start slicing.

SPEAKER_07 40:47

Slice! I'm not baby. Oh, you took.

SPEAKER_14 40:51

Tell me about the curse thing. What's what's the deal with that?

SPEAKER_03 40:54

Uh-huh. The curse makes it to where I do plus four damage to you, and I gain six points of health every turn. Hexblade curse.

SPEAKER_14 41:04

What type of damage? Hexblade. I gotta find it. Slashing and guess something. The main thing that I need to know from you guys is magical damage versus non-magical damage. Okay. That is the main thing. But if there's any other flavors like, you know, fire, you know, whatever. Psychic. Psychotic damage. Tell me about the psychotic damage when there's that. It's bonus damage.

SPEAKER_12 41:31

So I it's probably just making your strike more powerful, is all I would say. That makes sense to me. So it's plus four bonus damage. Alright. So then I will attack with my sword.

SPEAKER_03 41:45

Yeah. Oh, I just do that. Oh no, I'm gonna do this. So I'm a gun. I'm gonna do my lucky feet because I rolled a two. Now you rolled a three. Bro.

SPEAKER_11 41:59

No! That's a 15, though.

SPEAKER_03 42:02

So 15? 15 misses. We get two attacks. Yeah. Second attack, I'm using a different die.

SPEAKER_04 42:10

That's still a one.

SPEAKER_14 42:12

Oh, can I use a lucky feet? On a one? Uh yeah, I think you can. I think that's why it exists pretty much. So, how many times do you get to use your lucky feet? Is it three a day or something like that? I get two. I think it works one a day.

SPEAKER_03 42:28

I think it's three a day.

SPEAKER_14 42:31

Just want to keep you honest.

SPEAKER_03 42:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_14 42:38

Oh, I'm up and I'm gonna wreck some stuff. I get four.

SPEAKER_07 42:42

Gosh.

SPEAKER_14 42:43

You get four a day? Yeah. Awesome. Or per a long rest. Okay, cool. So you've used um two. Two now. So 25 to hit. Hits.

SPEAKER_03 42:54

Oh my gosh, my tablet was so much easier to use. Um. Now I'm going to roll my dice. Two hit.

unknown 43:08

Yeah, crossbow die. I I can't cut it.

SPEAKER_12 43:10

I can't cut through it. Just when we when you it's your turn, we can do it again.

unknown 43:14

No, no, no. I can remember.

SPEAKER_12 43:20

But this is this undead? Yeah, it's undead. Yeah. You get extra damage. Yeah, that's why I rolled.

SPEAKER_07 43:26

Oh, that's what it is.

SPEAKER_12 43:28

2d6. Did you smite it? Or 2d8? Yeah, I'm do- I'm d I'm smiting as well. Awesome. I'll be smiting for a while. Cool.

SPEAKER_14 43:38

Um. And then we gotta do what. Just let me know how much of it is, you know, magical versus non magical, is all I really need to know.

SPEAKER_02 43:50

Rather. Oh, it's magic. In Christ. Probably all of it. Yeah. Plus two kids.

SPEAKER_03 43:56

Total damage. Okay.

SPEAKER_12 43:58

Nice.

unknown 43:59

Okay.

SPEAKER_12 44:00

All maybe ten of it's technically slashing, but it is with a hex blade. Oh that you're smiting with, so I think that's a magical.

SPEAKER_14 44:12

It's a magical blade.

SPEAKER_10 44:13

Yeah, I need to start using my daggers.

SPEAKER_14 44:19

Um we just gotta call it the same way for everything. If it's with me, then it's you know magical damage every time you're using your hex blade.

SPEAKER_05 44:25

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_14 44:26

Matt, are you cool with that? Yeah. Alright. That's the way it is. 27 points of damage. I think uh I need more die, I think. What do you need?

SPEAKER_00 44:34

I need I need D8.

SPEAKER_10 44:36

Is whatever it's doing for the charge. Um for the concentration?

SPEAKER_14 44:43

Concentration.

SPEAKER_10 44:44

How rude.

SPEAKER_14 44:45

Yep. Yeah. Charm just wicked. One moment. Last an hour.

SPEAKER_07 44:52

Ah I can't even attack it.

SPEAKER_14 44:57

I don't have anything that can help me. You're fighting to BBEG right now. Yeah. Kill your puppets. True. All right. Uh Reggie, anything else on yours? No, that'll be it. Okay. Um back to the top of the order. Um the feeder puppets. Uh, do I get any continued save attempts on these ones? Nope. Unless you break my concentration. Not unless you break concentration. Excellent. That's why I ran away. Cool. Um that you ran away from you. I was gonna use it's 30 feet of movement. I think I got enough. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. Chasing its prey. It's gonna come after you.

SPEAKER_10 45:47

Do you still have your shield? Or does it, yeah. I got more shields.

SPEAKER_14 45:52

That's only a nine to to hit you. Actually, I do still have my shield.

SPEAKER_10 45:56

Yeah, I was like, because it's not here.

SPEAKER_14 45:57

Yep. Uh okay. Nine to hit you, it can go. Um, the one that's attacking you, Requiem will continue to attack you. And Eric, the the tree, uh, now has disadvantage on his next attack, just so you know.

SPEAKER_10 46:11

Oh.

SPEAKER_14 46:11

On its next attack? Okay. Because I have zapp. Fantastic.

SPEAKER_13 46:15

Got his ass. Okay. Six points of piercing damage. Okay. Gotcha. And now she is going to choose to cut the head off the snake.

SPEAKER_11 46:43

I know, I can use my dragon pressure plus ghost glow.

SPEAKER_03 46:54

I need big roly space. Big roll space right here.

SPEAKER_14 47:02

Lots of room. Alright. It is going to, you see this uh yeah. It uh it sinks down into the ground. Into the muck and it disappears momentarily, and it comes up here. It's gonna make its first attack on you, Reggie, at disadvantage because of SAP. Do I get an opportunity of attack? You do not.

SPEAKER_01 47:29

It doesn't leave your winch.

SPEAKER_14 47:31

You feel sludging and it's almost like whoa, underneath your feet as you feel it sink down and come up on the other side.

SPEAKER_08 47:39

No, I didn't.

SPEAKER_14 47:40

Um, okay. And it's going to miss you. It would have hit with a 29. Um, but instead only got a 13, which misses you.

SPEAKER_10 47:50

I think you sapped it.

SPEAKER_14 47:52

Um attack number two.

SPEAKER_07 47:55

Come on.

SPEAKER_14 47:58

It's going to be sending out one towards you and one towards you, Requiem. We'll start with you since it's it's at this. Now it's like a kind of like tree, kind of like arm with claws comes out. That is going to be a 16 to hit you. Messes. Misses. Uh that was at Reginald. This one's gonna be at you now. Uh 17 to hit you.

SPEAKER_11 48:21

Just it it's yeah, just hits.

SPEAKER_12 48:24

Just hits. Excellent. Should have been reversed. I still would have missed.

SPEAKER_11 48:30

Salt of Maggot.

SPEAKER_03 48:33

Yeah. Should have had 17.

SPEAKER_11 48:36

Let's have some rollies.

SPEAKER_02 48:38

I did a couple practice rolls to see what's happening. We're good. We're good. I did eventually hit a 20. Yeah. Matt's giving me loaded dice.

SPEAKER_11 48:47

You gave me loaded dice.

SPEAKER_14 48:49

That'll be 31 points of that'll be 31 points of damage to you.

SPEAKER_11 48:53

I mean oh, okay. I've got two points of health left.

SPEAKER_14 48:55

Oh my.

SPEAKER_11 48:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_14 48:58

Okay. You have a shield. Did you want to use your shield?

SPEAKER_11 49:02

Oh, I thought I assumed that if it wasn't my turn, I couldn't say. It's a reaction. Oh, then yeah.

SPEAKER_14 49:09

Shield goes up and uh it misses you. Um, the first one you're able to put a duck out of the way. The second one would have gotten through, but shield goes up. You do not take your 30-some points of damage.

SPEAKER_12 49:20

Sweet tat, unfortunately. It goes away.

SPEAKER_11 49:22

Does it go until immediately gone?

SPEAKER_12 49:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 49:25

Oh, that was a sweet tat.

SPEAKER_12 49:26

But you have the shield until your next turn, though. You know, priorities. Which is next.

SPEAKER_11 49:30

Yeah, yeah. I need to get away from shield.

SPEAKER_14 49:32

Okay. You ain't no bird. Um that is its turn. Okay, your shield's gone.

SPEAKER_11 49:37

Oh. Okay. I'm going to um crossbow dismotobo.

SPEAKER_02 49:44

It is motobo.

SPEAKER_11 49:46

Which one? Okay. Awesome. Yes, it's not going to. I am going to.

SPEAKER_14 49:54

Actually, um, top of the new round, you guys have now engaged with this thing a little bit more. I want you guys to roll either a nature or arcana or an investigation check. Whatever feels most natural to you as a uh as a player. I'm gonna do a natural 20 for 29 investigation.

SPEAKER_11 50:16

And what did you say, arcana or what?

SPEAKER_14 50:18

Yeah, um arcana, nature, or investigation. Whichever one feels more for and well, what was the flavor of your natural 20? Uh investigation. I'm an investigative sort of fella. Okay.

SPEAKER_11 50:31

I add zero to all three of those things. But I rolled a 19.

SPEAKER_12 50:36

Still good. I gotta do bank shots, is what they like. That's what I'm thinking. Okay.

SPEAKER_11 50:40

Can I keep my rolled a hit that first? Sure. Yes.

SPEAKER_14 50:43

Yes, yes. I'm just giving you a little extra something now that you guys have thought this for a bit more. Okay. Um 19 and then natural 20. Was anybody else in the ballpark of those? 12. With a 19, as you're fighting this thing and you're about to unlaunch an arrow at it, um, you are able to see that this thing um is most certainly a lich of some kind. Okay. Um, and with your kind of wraith, you know, background, you know the creepy crawlies of the world. This is something like that. And um, because of the like mushrooms and stuff coming off of it, you are able to identify this as a fungal lich.

SPEAKER_00 51:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_14 51:26

You get all of this uh fungal lich uh-ness. Yeah. Um, and with the uh the the 20, you think back to the cocoon that it split out from and emerged from this Golfias tree. Um, and you are reminded of a couple of things about liches specifically and things that might be helpful to you. Um the main thing is that liches are able to gain immortality through a phylactery, a physical object in which they're able to bind their soul to it, and if they are separated from this phylactery, then their corporeal form will become much more vulnerable. If the phylactery remains, they will always be able to take their physical form and rebuild somewhere else as well.

SPEAKER_11 52:19

I know this as well, or is this just him?

SPEAKER_14 52:21

Just him for that.

SPEAKER_11 52:21

Can you say that out loud?

SPEAKER_14 52:22

The final with a natural 20 is you know that phylacteries are notoriously difficult to destroy. Physical damage to them is often not enough to be able to do something. It requires oftentimes um some level of arcana or you know, major here's a gone on hole quests just to destroy a phylactery. So, this is the information that you have gained from that. You have unleashed an arrow and it has hit its target, you believe, with what?

SPEAKER_11 52:52

25.

SPEAKER_14 52:53

25 hits.

SPEAKER_11 52:54

Okay, perfect.

SPEAKER_12 52:56

And then um But there is no indication of where this trip is.

SPEAKER_11 53:01

But I can locate object. Oh, I think it has to be known to me though. Never mind, that won't work. Um nine dam hold on, nine damage, but then I've got the plus one d6 of force. Do I roll a d6? I forgot. Do I roll the d6s? They do go, yeah. Okay, so that's four. Then I roll one d6 of radiant damage for my ghost glow, that's three, and then two d6 psych damage. Six. Then two. So that's nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, plus nineteen. What did I just say? Nine plus what?

SPEAKER_14 53:43

Nineteen is what I heard that you're adding something to.

SPEAKER_11 53:46

Mm-hmm. Well then I just lost it. 24 damage.

SPEAKER_14 53:51

Awesome.

SPEAKER_11 53:52

From that first one. Now I shall go for my second one.

SPEAKER_14 53:55

Was any of that non-magical?

SPEAKER_11 53:58

I think it's all non-magical, right? So force, radiant, and psych.

SPEAKER_14 54:02

Okay. But your psychic should be damaged.

SPEAKER_12 54:05

Uh radiance magical.

SPEAKER_14 54:07

And radiant is magical. And you're using your bow?

SPEAKER_11 54:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_14 54:11

Bow's magical. Okay. Cool. I'm gonna count it all as magical.

SPEAKER_11 54:15

unknown 54:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_11 54:47

The hunter's mark. Do I roll my extra g6 again? Because it's every time I hit it, right? The hunter's mark. Every time I hit something that's hunter's marked.

SPEAKER_12 54:54

I wanna say yes. I don't know if there's a once per turn.

SPEAKER_14 54:57

I believe it's once per turn, but you should check this dog on it though.

SPEAKER_13 55:01

I think it's just once per turn, but yeah, I should definitely check.

SPEAKER_11 55:09

It's uh an extra 1d6 force damage to the target whenever you hit it within an attack roll.

SPEAKER_14 55:14

Heck yeah. Alright, added in.

SPEAKER_11 55:18

Did I roll that a remote? I think I already rolled that. It was a two.

SPEAKER_12 55:22

SPEAKER_12 56:05

I could like the cards gambit, right? Mm-hmm. To like gambit, what with daggers, something like that.

SPEAKER_11 56:10

But my hunter's marks didn't say that it was concentration. So can I use a second? I thought I could use like my hail of thorns as bonus action in lieu with my own.

SPEAKER_14 56:23

If it says that it's not a concentration and hail of thorns is also not concentration, and it's a bonus action, then yep.

SPEAKER_11 56:30

SPEAKER_14 1:01:10

So half damage. So uh 19 points of radiant damage to anyone that got hit. That's the full damage, and then half of that for the um those that saved, and then plus four on the D4 for the NAT ones. So that's uh Okay, so purple is taking 19 plus four. Yeah, 23. How do you want it? That guy's dead. How do you want to do that? I just want to fry him so you'll see like uh little small bears kind of come out of the moon beam and start ripping it apart. It's like tamper animations.

SPEAKER_14 1:02:26

Alright. Um yellow is also a natural one, which put him at 21. Uh, same thing.

SPEAKER_14 1:02:41

Okay, and then red took significant damage.

SPEAKER_13 1:02:44

Okay. Still up. Cool. And the tree.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:48

SPEAKER_14 1:03:56

It's a big base. Smiley. All right. Um, describe again how the damage hits the uh specifically the fungal edge.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:05

So that the moon beam is essentially directed onto him, and so when when the sky parts, it's just like this gold amber fire, and like in the front of it, you just see this kind of uh earth real bear kind of rolling down through the sort of tearing as it's coming down, and then as it hits the ground and explodes, that's where all the little bears come out and start shredding everything. It's awesome.

SPEAKER_11 1:04:30

This is epic.

SPEAKER_14 1:04:32

Um Zelfira, you are up, and I want to begin your term making a perception check.

SPEAKER_10 1:04:44

Twenty-six. No, it wasn't. Oh.

SPEAKER_14 1:04:46

This moon beam rips down and these claw marks are coming open, uh radiant light splashing it. A piece of the chest underneath where Varillia's neck is coming off, and it opens up to reveal the same pendant that you are wearing.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:04

What?

SPEAKER_14 1:05:07

Um you see it open up. Is that the thing?

SPEAKER_10 1:05:10

He hasn't said anything yet. Is that the thing?

SPEAKER_14 1:05:13

We don't know. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:15

We don't know.

SPEAKER_14 1:05:16

Um, because yeah, that information. But a yeah, the the same thing opens up and you see it there before you. I also want you to roll another um uh flat D20. There's things happening behind the screen that I can't tell you about. But let me know if you get it.

SPEAKER_12 1:05:32

Time for me to mention now that I see it. Before be like random litch facts. Hey guys.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:38

I see it. That's how we roll in this group. We learn something, we realize not smiley.

SPEAKER_12 1:05:44

It'd be very good if you roll over a 17.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:47

Um flat, 10. Okay.

SPEAKER_12 1:05:49

Does this make smiley thing? Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_14 1:05:53

Um you see this, this, this thing. What would you like to do?

SPEAKER_10 1:05:58

Oh, it is my turn, actually.

SPEAKER_14 1:06:01

So throw um Reggie on deck.

SPEAKER_10 1:06:04

She still has my pendant on. That's quite old. I'd say that out loud. Like, yeah.

SPEAKER_14 1:06:10

Well, obviously yours has now like the diamond in it. It's been customized.

SPEAKER_10 1:06:15

Yeah. And then um, I don't know, because I know it has ability to it, but I don't know in this case what kind of anything it would do. Like, well, you son of a bitch, if I can't attack you, I can attack your puppets. And I would uh Yeah, send eclipse at the blue puppet. Okay. So let's do let's just do it on here, make it easier. Uh 18 hit?

SPEAKER_14 1:06:55

18 hits.

SPEAKER_10 1:06:56

Okay. Um, so let me do the first part for eclipse, which is, and these are magical weapons. I don't know how that comes in play. And then since Rec is within range, I'll sneak attack this one.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:11

Cool.

SPEAKER_10 1:07:13

Um did I just show I don't know what it showed. Actually, it went away.

SPEAKER_14 1:07:23

What's that?

SPEAKER_07 1:07:24

Doesn't it?

SPEAKER_14 1:07:25

Not quite. No. It like stepped out. It has like branched like arms with big claws. But it is much more humanoid than it is tree.

SPEAKER_10 1:07:34

So Eclipse is going to be um 19 with the sneak attack. And then I'll add one dice six for necrotic. Dang. Plus four necrotic.

SPEAKER_14 1:07:46

Okay. Uh how do you want to end this? Oh, that's one blade. Okay.

SPEAKER_10 1:07:50

Yeah. Literally just a straight blade straight to its face.

SPEAKER_14 1:07:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:07:54

Like that's one blade because I still have two more attacks.

SPEAKER_14 1:07:57

Awesome.

SPEAKER_10 1:07:58

I'm actually gonna be mad because I want to.

SPEAKER_14 1:08:00

Tiny thing. You imagine it piercing through tiny vulpin children, and this one gets it in the face.

SPEAKER_10 1:08:06

This is for wait. James!

SPEAKER_14 1:08:10

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:08:11

Did the girl tell me her name? Because she said she was I have her name somewhere. What was her name?

SPEAKER_01 1:08:16

Charity.

SPEAKER_14 1:08:17

It was Oliver and Gracie.

SPEAKER_10 1:08:19

Gracie, but he was pretending to be James. Oliver Gracie. And she was pretending to be me. Okay, so do that one, and then I will send um Sundown, because Eclipse is probably still on repeat. So Sundown out. For the other one. Uh it's a nat 20, so 28.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:42

Yep, that'll hit.

SPEAKER_10 1:08:43

And then yeah, you know the thing that sucks though is that had it hit and it was still alive, it would do bigger and it would be better. But no, it's this one. Okay. So that's just gonna be 11 on the dice. Since I can't do twilight execution. But I can hit it again now that my other blade has returned. Okay. Because that's two and one and then third blade.

SPEAKER_14 1:09:09

Um, eleven might actually be enough. Let me find out here. Nope. It actually goes down and then it gets back up with undead fortitude.

SPEAKER_10 1:09:18

You son of a bitch! Die! So that I will send that zombie who wouldn't. I'll try to send it through. It does? Oh, okay. Well then with this one going out, it's going to be level, so you're damage. And if that doesn't kill, now that I've hit it with both blades, it's gonna be twilight execution if six is not enough.

SPEAKER_14 1:09:43

It goes down and it gets back up again.

SPEAKER_10 1:09:45

It's undead 42 and won't die!

SPEAKER_04 1:09:48

Yeah!

SPEAKER_10 1:09:49

So because both blades hit it, now it's gonna have um uh 10 um psychic damage.

SPEAKER_14 1:09:58

Um, okay.

SPEAKER_10 1:09:59

Iconic damage.

SPEAKER_14 1:10:01

I go down each time. I need a nat 20 to keep this guy up. That's a natural. Let me gonna say I'm gonna point this out.

SPEAKER_12 1:10:10

I'm gonna point this out to you guys. Keep me on it. I think I jinxed us by reminding us of the zombie that won't die.

SPEAKER_10 1:10:17

Twenty-nine damage. Um, perfect. It's gonna take a legendary reaction against you. To um to hit in turn. This is going to be 19 to hit you. I'm gonna use a lucky point.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:31

You have to roll again.

SPEAKER_14 1:11:32

Ooh, that's cool. 15 to hit. Misses. Okay. Alright. Alright, how much damage do I take? 29 points of damage.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:56

Twenty-eight to hit. Twenty-eight hits.

SPEAKER_14 1:12:03

Ah, screw it. I'm gonna use a second legendary action. Same thing again. I want it. Um twenty-four to hit you back. Tell me how much damage I take first, though. Um 36 points. Dang! Alright, 24 to hit you.

SPEAKER_12 1:12:25

SPEAKER_14 1:12:27

Okay, so forest disadvantage on it. Yeah, that's disadvantage. That's your last lucky point.

SPEAKER_10 1:12:31

Have you used your shield yet?

SPEAKER_14 1:12:32

I don't know if the shield is. Second time. Um that was the lowest. The second time would have been a 26 to hit. Yeah, that saves me.

SPEAKER_12 1:12:39

What's your AC normally? 18.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:43

Come on. No, it's 23.

SPEAKER_14 1:12:46

I think it still would have done it. Is this a spell? No. Um, it's like a reaction I get to hit and I get to do some other cool stuff. Uh oh.

SPEAKER_13 1:12:58

Two. So that would be five.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:04

If you shield me, can I sh can I do two shields? No. No, okay. Some shenanigans.

SPEAKER_12 1:13:12

Seven chain. And that shield you can't normally cast shield on others. That's why this is kind of a unique I can make a tattoo of you, so you cast it. What about shield of faith? That's different. So it would act that would stack. Yeah. Never mind, you missed.

SPEAKER_14 1:13:26

One, two, three plus.

SPEAKER_12 1:13:29

You miss. I do have shield of faith. But did you say you cast shield of faith? Can I cast shield of faith? Not right now. I mean, isn't like a bonus action? It's a oh yeah, I've got to do that. I think it's an action. Uh oh. You would need to have it up already. Oh technicalities, man. Slick technicality.

SPEAKER_14 1:13:48

It'll be 31 points of damage to you. And as it strikes into your chest, the life from you drains up and into the tree and it becomes reinvigorating. Has closed a little bit. The uh the pendant that you see is a little less visible. How much damage did you say I tick? 31. 31? Yeah, 31. Like I said.

unknown 1:14:18

Dude, uh can any action. That sucks.

SPEAKER_14 1:14:41

Okay. Um. Just take your whoopin', boy. Bro. You still did a bunch of damage, and you burned two legendary reac uh actions on the book. But did he just invigorate all of that?

SPEAKER_06 1:14:52

Bonus action.

SPEAKER_14 1:14:53

No. I mean, he hit me for like 60 some points, and he ended recuperating like 30 some points, right?

SPEAKER_11 1:14:59

A lot of damage. That's a lot of damage.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:04

Oh my.

SPEAKER_14 1:15:05

Alright. So proud of that. Uh Reginald, anything else in your turn? Yeah, I'm gonna do uh a bonus action compel dual to you.

SPEAKER_12 1:15:13

Okay. Um now it's on.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:15

Yeah. You have to 1v1 me, bro. Yeah. Let's go. Uh take a wisdom saving throw of 17. Okay. On a fail, you have disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than myself. Okay. Oh, it literally is a 1v1 me, bro.

SPEAKER_12 1:15:31

Yeah, yeah. That is gonna be sweet.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:35

And you cannot uh can't willingly move to a space that is more than 30 feet away from me. Okay.

SPEAKER_10 1:15:41

So you're stuck by my side until it's no it can't attack other people without a disadvantage.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:46

Which is really close to killing me. It just was really pissed memory.

SPEAKER_10 1:15:49

Does it know it can't attack other things without disadvantage?

SPEAKER_12 1:15:53

Wait, you're concentrated.

SPEAKER_10 1:15:54

Like when you do that to it? Um I'm genuinely curious if that's how it works.

SPEAKER_14 1:15:58

Like, does it know it has that spell on it where it's like orangey is going to continue to attack you, Requiem?

SPEAKER_11 1:16:05

Oh, freaking orangey.

SPEAKER_14 1:16:07

Minus one D4. That will be uh uh minus a d4 on the headband. Okay. So one danger. Nerd, that's perfect. Um minus one d4. Nine to hit you.

SPEAKER_12 1:16:23

You are darker of the darkness. I was born in it.

SPEAKER_14 1:16:28

Alright. Uh orange is done. Um the tree lich is compelled to duel you. It must. It's gonna take all three of its multi-attack. Ouch.

SPEAKER_07 1:16:38

Is it showing me uh uh me?

SPEAKER_10 1:16:43

Is it showing me its crevices?

SPEAKER_14 1:16:45

That's all I can help. You can help protect potentially if it's within range. Uh 23 on the first.

SPEAKER_12 1:16:53

You should shield on a shield. Wait, but then it still hits. But others might be lower. Who knows? I mean, either way, it's probably still a good idea to show.

SPEAKER_11 1:17:04

Oh.

SPEAKER_12 1:17:04

We might as well do it, I guess. Unless this is does more than 16. I mean, I don't know.

SPEAKER_11 1:17:09

I rolled a 26 for this.

SPEAKER_12 1:17:10

I would do it. All right. Well, we're but he'll hit me no matter what if I use it or not. Well, but the thing is I guess I guess you could not and wait till next time. If I have a next time. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:21

If I have a next time.

SPEAKER_12 1:17:23

Go for brook, bro. Yeah. Do it.

SPEAKER_11 1:17:38

To try and see its little splitty splits. It's a big tree.

SPEAKER_12 1:17:44

I didn't say it was going to be useful for this scenario. I know. I said, here's a cool thing you can use. Maybe it'll be clutch.

SPEAKER_14 1:17:52

Seven. Did you do it yet? That'll be 40 points of damage to you on the first strike. It wouldn't have helped. It doesn't help here.

SPEAKER_11 1:18:01

SPEAKER_14 1:18:16

Does your concentration go away? When you go down?

SPEAKER_06 1:18:20

It's a part of my sword.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:22

I'd have to go look at the huge list.

SPEAKER_14 1:18:24

No, but you you'd have to make a concentration check anyways, and you have to be. Yeah. You could natural 20 if you wanted to keep it up. What was the toy? If you stay down, I'm gonna make two more hits at you while you're super weak.

SPEAKER_10 1:18:37

SPEAKER_14 1:18:38

You need a con save anyways because you're gonna you're probably gonna lose concentration on your computer. Throw me a con safe, please. Uh no. Okay. Um, seeing that you get knocked down, um he's going to. Oh, he's gonna get back up?

SPEAKER_11 1:18:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_14 1:18:57

Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. Matt 20 on Doug with what one hit point left? 15.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:51

You need to get I'm gonna hurt you.

SPEAKER_14 1:20:53

Um, okay, so uh uh the competition now it breaks from my spell. I've been trying to hit multiple people. I'm now going to um pivot. I'm gonna try to hit Requiem. Why'd I do that?

SPEAKER_12 1:23:05

Uh remember liches have phylacteries like Voldemort, you know if you're familiar with that story?

SPEAKER_10 1:23:09

Um I say admiss mortal terror. Um I can't get both of you odd.

SPEAKER_07 1:23:28

Keep your lever up.

SPEAKER_12 1:23:29

Yeah, I'm gonna think I'm gonna prioritize uh Reggie here.

SPEAKER_14 1:23:42

Healing word is 30 feet, I believe. 60 feet. Oh, it's 60? Oh, yeah. Yep, you're absolutely in range for that.

SPEAKER_12 1:23:51

Your prince! Uh healing word. Um, this is from my uh level from my spell storing ring. So my spell storing ring is tapped. You get a uh second level healing word.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:16

Second level mine is 44 plus two. Uh 11 plus is better.

SPEAKER_12 1:24:24

So you gave me 11 health. You get 11. And um I will use my action to move more, and then grab one of the healing potions from wrecking. Okay.

SPEAKER_14 1:24:39

And that's it.

SPEAKER_11 1:24:39

It's in my back pocket. You're so close.

SPEAKER_14 1:24:44

So um, object interaction, you're grabbing that. I'm gonna give that to you pretty much for free. Um, have you used your use your action and your bonus action? I added dash to get more movement, so yeah. I'm out. Okay. Alright, yeah, you've got that that healing potion available. Um up next, do we got? Borislov. Borislav followed by Zelfira and then Reginald. Um and Borislav, you also would have heard that there is this phlactory thing. Everybody at this point will have heard it, um, except if you were unconscious.

SPEAKER_11 1:25:22

I fly when I'm unconscious.

SPEAKER_12 1:25:25

Um that's a good question. What do I do? Am I just sink into the ground?

SPEAKER_11 1:25:31

Just kind of lay on the ground.

SPEAKER_12 1:25:32

No, sink into the ground.

SPEAKER_11 1:25:34

Oh, ew.

SPEAKER_14 1:25:35

Yeah. I'm right away. I want to hit you, man.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:38

Um I will cast.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:49

We'll cast dispel magic. So any level three uh magical effect on Zulfira. That's what we need. Or lower is automatically dispelled.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:59

Yay!

SPEAKER_02 1:26:00

And then I will cast healing word on um I will breathe out this like amber mist, and it will go and goes into um Requiem's mouth. So you need my healing word. Nice!

SPEAKER_10 1:26:17

Ow, that's that's breath in your mouth and all the things you just whoo's.

SPEAKER_11 1:26:24

Life! So you get a little bit of CPR.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:29

12 points of healing.

SPEAKER_11 1:26:30

Oh my gosh. Okay, you're life.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:34

I'm running the long spell slots.

SPEAKER_11 1:26:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_14 1:26:37

Same Z life flashing before your eyes with a failed death save. Give me one memory from your previous uh life before you became a wraith that uh you remember in this period. You reflect on as you die.

SPEAKER_11 1:26:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_14 1:26:58

Um you can give it to me in a second. I'll go to Zelphia and I'll come back to you for that. I like that I like it.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:09

As I break your spell, I say, you need to get into this. And then that was it. That was my spell.

SPEAKER_10 1:27:14

All right.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:15

Your turn.

SPEAKER_10 1:27:16

So now that I um knew where it was last time and I actually can attack it, suddenly I'm like, ha, perfect. Thank you.

SPEAKER_05 1:27:24

So I will still look at it.

SPEAKER_10 1:27:26

You're prone for the topic. Where I know it's at. I know it's starting to close, and then he did the sunburst again, and it started to like show itself again.

SPEAKER_14 1:27:34

Give me an investigation or a history check or arcana. Any of those to your personal flavor that works best for you.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:42

Keep in mind the moon beam is still active. Oh. It is still gonna run in there then.

SPEAKER_10 1:27:48

Um, so um, that's gonna be twenty eight.

SPEAKER_14 1:27:52

Okay. Um, you know what Smiley does about phylacteries. The phylactery itself, extremely hard to um To destroy. Right. But if you're able to separate it from the uh the the wearer, then they become much more weak. Um yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:28:09

So that being said, I can't get any closer because there is a moon beam. I know it's resistant. What?

SPEAKER_12 1:28:17

You're resistant.

SPEAKER_10 1:28:19

I am kind of resistant, but not quite. So I'm like, I'm staying within my blade range for throwing it, and I'm going to be trying to. I mean, it's a big tree guy, so it's like you take it how you want. But I'm going to be trying to aim for where I know it's at to see whether or not I could keep cutting into crevicing and potentially breaking the chain off. Cool. So first will be eclipse going that way.

SPEAKER_14 1:28:47

So this will be considered a called shot that I'm adding to its uh AC. 25 will hit with the called shots.

SPEAKER_10 1:28:56

And I don't know if anybody's technically close enough for sneak attack, because this is a new round for me. Would you say they are?

SPEAKER_12 1:29:05

Reginald looks like a new one. Reggie's like right there. And the tree hasn't moved. And he's conscious. So. But prone. Yes.

unknown 1:29:13

Okay.

SPEAKER_12 1:29:13

Sleeping on the mud.

SPEAKER_10 1:29:16

So first hit from Eclipse then is going to go back with this. We're going to do a six plus.

SPEAKER_12 1:29:23

Yeah, you're sleeping on the job too.

SPEAKER_10 1:29:27

So 16 from Eclipse's first hit plus one dice sick necrotic. So 16 and then that's one necrotic.

SPEAKER_14 1:29:37

The necrotic to pump something else in. Instead, it feeds into it and it almost makes it stronger.

SPEAKER_10 1:29:45

Oh, yucky.

SPEAKER_14 1:29:46

Um so it was six.

SPEAKER_10 1:29:48

It was sixteen and then plus just the one. Okay. From eclipse. And then I'm going to follow eclipse with sundown again straight down the line.

SPEAKER_14 1:29:59

Are you also aiming for more of the chain stuff? So you see with the first one, it hits the chain of the thing and it becomes a little bit dislodged. You see that it's actually sunk into the wood itself, but you have done some uh piece in there to kind of, yeah, loosen it.

SPEAKER_10 1:30:16

Okay at this point. And then I followed with another one and so it'll be another called shot. Did somebody see that when it popped up? Can I see history? Oh, yeah, I can see history. It was 13 on the second one. Reginald chiseling tools. Um I will. Who's after me?

SPEAKER_12 1:30:38

This is the problem. I don't know if you're being serious. Reggie's down. Yeah, she's he said to slow down.

SPEAKER_14 1:30:43

Reggie got his.

SPEAKER_10 1:30:44

Reggie's technically up.

SPEAKER_14 1:30:45

Yeah, he's just laying down.

SPEAKER_10 1:30:47

I'm going to, instead of using my third blade, I will bonus action, yell at Reggie. Reggie, get your ass up. Get the pendant often. It's your advantage, whatever.

SPEAKER_12 1:31:01

Cool. Start shooting.

SPEAKER_10 1:31:03

Did you use the last time I gave you a help?

SPEAKER_12 1:31:05

What was that?

SPEAKER_14 1:31:06

Do you remember? I gave I think you did.

SPEAKER_10 1:31:09

I gave you advantage before last time I yelled at you.

SPEAKER_12 1:31:11

You have advantage.

SPEAKER_10 1:31:12

Now you have advantage. So keep in mind anytime I yell at you, because you follow me, I'm giving you an advantage if I move. Um any movements. Um I had done one, and I guess technically now I could move more. Um yeah, I'll do. I'm only gonna take another handful. I'm taking half of my movement back. I'm trying to like be smart about how far back I am from the tree and its swing, and that sunbeam, moon beam, it's coming down, but not use all my movement. Okay. Because I gotta move back into throwing range.

SPEAKER_02 1:31:51

Reginald is like right next to the moon beam. Um takes a step forward, East and look. I can lay hands myself, right? Oh, you can lay all your hands on your own.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:02

I'm gonna touch yourself.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:04

Self-healing, right here. Woo! Deep pool.

SPEAKER_10 1:32:10

Let's go. Let's touch.

SPEAKER_14 1:32:15

Yeah. I will as a DM also say it's nice to keep a couple points in reserve because even a single point can bring up an ally. That's why I left. You kept one. You left one. Okay, go on. Got it. Got it.

SPEAKER_10 1:32:25

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_14 1:32:25

The rest is mine. All right.

SPEAKER_10 1:32:27

The rest is mine.

SPEAKER_14 1:32:29

Um, so that's an action. Uh there's nothing else I can really do, right? You stand up? Um, okay. Lots of cool bonus action stuff that you guys can do. I tried one and I got wrecked from it. Oh yeah, he compelled duel.

SPEAKER_10 1:32:48

What else can you do other than Cash Shield of Faith on somebody?

SPEAKER_12 1:32:50

Oh, yeah, that's true. Still Cash Shield of Faith on myself?

SPEAKER_09 1:32:55

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:32:56

Oh no, I have no spell slots. Oh, never mind. Never mind. Just kidding. All right. I mean, compelled duel is a cantric. Little half casters tapped.

SPEAKER_14 1:33:07

You're just gonna keep having it smack you in the face. Oh baby. Orange level. It's still on the field, guys. Do I think you are prone, so he will have a little bit. Do I try to take it?

SPEAKER_12 1:33:22

I think you need to cock.

SPEAKER_14 1:33:23

Chisplaying it out as a vouch one B is 16 hit?

SPEAKER_12 1:33:27

Is it is it too late to do that in the case?

SPEAKER_14 1:33:29

So you move to the back, but you kind of roll over it. It hits kind of the slushy drop next to the just too late.

SPEAKER_10 1:33:36

What was your memory? Oh wait. Sorry, turn it.

SPEAKER_12 1:33:39

Eric, can we say that uh Reginald uses his movement to he wants to use his movement to get pendant, but he's too scared to ask now. You want to m use your movement to what? I want to Am I climbing on the tree? Just get or at least get to the to the where the pendant is, right?

SPEAKER_02 1:33:54

Yeah, yeah. I want to get close to the pendant.

unknown 1:33:57

Okay.

SPEAKER_10 1:33:58

He's getting right up under that tree.

SPEAKER_14 1:34:00

Look, kind of close. I will say that you can get right up in her face. With because you have very close. I mean, I'm currently facing the opposite direction, so it's around the other side. But we can um yeah, we can pretend that that's the face if you want to pivot the tree. That makes it kind of an easy way to do it. Because she's not looking at me, right? So this is kind of sneaky. But yeah, sorry. Like he rotated around.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:26

Is that what you're doing? Make a con 14 save.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:30

And now he's climbed right up. Okay, he climbed from that way. Oh, you're gonna climb to the fire.

SPEAKER_12 1:34:37

Trying to get a hold of the thing in the safe. I nerfed his con and.

SPEAKER_11 1:34:41

Now is he right in front of and under where it would be perfect. I need him as my long. How high up is that?

SPEAKER_12 1:34:46

Nice. We're good.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:49

SPEAKER_11 1:35:02

Reckless!

SPEAKER_02 1:35:03

This dwarf just dove into the moon beam to grab onto the stuff.

SPEAKER_11 1:35:06

How often do I have to make a con save while I'm at it? Because I've now succeeded that first.

SPEAKER_02 1:35:11

You're it's over here. I can't. Now when you say I'm resistant. It's over here on this side. So anything within 20 feet. Basically, it's to her feet on that side and then goes out like your vulnerable.

SPEAKER_10 1:35:27

It's straight.

SPEAKER_02 1:35:27

But if I want to get that, this I can put me back on. If you touch it, if you're touching her, you're gonna be touching it.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:34

Because that's like it's double to undead.

SPEAKER_02 1:35:36

Because I gotta keep it on her. Oh, and her turn. Wait, she's she's doing her turn. Never mind. Yep.

SPEAKER_14 1:39:57

Yeah, yeah. I'd say Reggie, it's like, you know, he's within arm's reach of it, but you have to reach up and grab and pull. So yes, there would you be apt to get above him.

SPEAKER_11 1:41:27

Okay, that's dead. I get advantage on one of the con one of the save throws. Uh where do I go?

SPEAKER_12 1:41:33

Advantage on con seems weird.

SPEAKER_10 1:41:35

Okay, it might be definitely on decks. Oh, but that's evasion. That's just uncanny dog. It's just any reaction. Killing everybody. Yeah, token any on.

SPEAKER_11 1:41:49

I'll get I'll make sure and try and throw it, because I'm probably gonna die again. So I'll make sure and throw it down. Y'all just gotta get it.

SPEAKER_14 1:41:59

So what is it you're doing right now, Recommend?

SPEAKER_11 1:42:02

I'm trying to see if I I have advantage on one of my con saves, and I don't know if it was con or on one of my.

SPEAKER_12 1:42:09

Oh, this is from MD and so. Okay. I don't think you have advantage on con saves.

SPEAKER_09 1:42:15

Well, if you know, then you know, don't you?

SPEAKER_12 1:42:17

Probably.

SPEAKER_14 1:42:26

And Smiley, you are up next.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:31

Oh god.

SPEAKER_10 1:42:33

Well, I failed. So that's bad because you are also an undead.

SPEAKER_14 1:42:38

But that's at the end of her turn, right? But you're immune to disease. It's if you move into it zone. You initially involved.

SPEAKER_11 1:42:43

I was like, not on a disease, but you're also undead. Okay, but I have time to grab it, right?

SPEAKER_14 1:42:48

I mean, you're gonna take the damage as soon as you get in. Okay. But you have gotten up there. So I'm gonna keep that success.

SPEAKER_08 1:42:54

Okay.

SPEAKER_14 1:42:54

Take your damage.

SPEAKER_08 1:42:55

Okay. What is it?

SPEAKER_02 1:42:57

It's uh nine. Nine points of radiant damage.

SPEAKER_08 1:43:00

Oh, I'm still up, isn't it?

SPEAKER_10 1:43:03

Dope.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:04

If if she's undead and it says that she is vulnerable to radiant damage, she's I don't think she's vulnerable to it.

SPEAKER_14 1:43:12

If she's not vulnerable, then it's just more vulnerable. You're still up.

SPEAKER_11 1:43:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_14 1:43:17

Hanging alive.

SPEAKER_11 1:43:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_14 1:43:19

You are up there with it. Tell me how you're gonna get this phylactery.

SPEAKER_11 1:43:23

Yeah, I'm gonna reach in and just like pull it out.

SPEAKER_14 1:43:27

Okay.

SPEAKER_11 1:43:27

Okay. And I'm gonna be hanging on the knife, kind of maybe tiptoeing on your head right now. Like, you know, just holding in there. And I um that's an action. Okay, that's fine. So I want to toss it back to someone that is.

SPEAKER_14 1:43:51

It's still lodged in there a little bit. Oh, it is. Okay. You will probably need to burn an action in order to dislodge it. So um I will let you do that for free if you just want to use it full action to do that.

SPEAKER_05 1:44:03

Why not?

SPEAKER_14 1:44:03

Um you could also attack it and do damage as well as it, but only if it hits. So there's your trade-off. Do you want to just grab it and I will give it to you? Or do you want to hurt this thing and dislodge it with a little bit of risk with an attack?

SPEAKER_11 1:44:16

Oh. I just want to use my action to grab it and lodge it. So when I go to dislodge it, I want to like kick off from it and backflip off of the cool. Yeah.

SPEAKER_14 1:44:28

I love it.

SPEAKER_11 1:44:28

Why not? Goodbye, Reggie.

SPEAKER_14 1:44:32

Um, so you you kick off from it. It is going to use an attack of opportunity as you leave its its area.

SPEAKER_01 1:44:39

Okay.

SPEAKER_14 1:44:40

Um, how let's see here, you did that. I'm gonna guess you have a lot of movement, right? I'm gonna say you use 20 to get up and you're moving 20 to move away. Total of like 15 after the the fall away from it. Okay. 13 to hit you. Okay, well done. Back flipping off heroically. You've got the the phylactery. Um, everybody that sees as soon as it leaves from it, the um the the the spores start to drop instead of it like coming off like a live uh like mushroom. Instead, it starts kind of like failing. It is uh weakened significantly. Like that. Vulnerable.

SPEAKER_11 1:45:28

What if I step on it, smash it?

SPEAKER_14 1:45:30

Okay. Um that is your action, your movement. You still have a bonus action, I believe.

SPEAKER_11 1:45:35

I do.

SPEAKER_10 1:45:37

Um I'll Where did you move to though before you would bonus action dash or something away from it? Get the thing over here.

SPEAKER_14 1:45:46

Okay, then how many doesn't just move? Nah. What are you doing? I'm moving. You used 20 feet to get to the thing, and then you jumped off and moved 20 feet, but with your fall, so 15 total feet away is what you can get away from the tree. Whichever direction you were trying to kick off.

SPEAKER_05 1:46:03

Perfect.

SPEAKER_14 1:46:04

Cool. Alright. Excellent turn. I love that. Okay, smiley.

SPEAKER_12 1:46:10

I uh first begin running away.

SPEAKER_14 1:46:16

Heroic ending. The tree is vulnerable. I run away.

SPEAKER_12 1:46:22

Uh yeah, I can keep that way. Okay. And um, I would like to roll to see in the heat of this moment if I remember that I shouldn't heal Zelfira.

SPEAKER_14 1:46:37

What kind of role do you think that is?

SPEAKER_07 1:46:39

God dang it.

SPEAKER_14 1:46:40

Um so I would say again guys, nothing has shocked me.

SPEAKER_07 1:46:44

I'm hurt from the fault.

SPEAKER_14 1:46:46

I agree that I know medicine or history. Yeah, I agree that I know medicine or history.

SPEAKER_12 1:46:51

Intellectually, I'm just saying I'm not I'm not really a combatant. And so I'm just thinking, like, I have to target six people. Oh, there's okay, there's four five of us.

SPEAKER_14 1:47:00

You can choose, yeah, medicine or history, whichever feels more natural to you in your background.

SPEAKER_12 1:47:05

Uh 11.

SPEAKER_14 1:47:08

Um, I'd say you don't.

SPEAKER_12 1:47:11

Okay.

Ah, damn it.

SPEAKER_12 1:47:12

So let's go with a mass healing word for y'all. Uh let's go. I got six people to target. Give it to me straight, Doc. And I'm not even hurt, so um, everyone gets eight. Yeah.

Um to hit, both hit.

SPEAKER_05 1:48:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_14 1:48:03

Mass healing word isn't an action. Bonus action. Dang. That's wow.

SPEAKER_10 1:48:08

That's cool. I mean, it was worth getting everybody eight points, and you know.

SPEAKER_12 1:48:13

Um, need it. So seven damage total. And uh you see that um all of Smiley's magic has been like through his through his brush sponge, and these Eldritch blasts are not in like if you if you're near him, you see his face looks like disgusted, and it's just from his hand, and it just it looks like if you recognize hellfire, it's just hellfire. Just um scorches in the space. Smiley, what is that? Nope, nope, I don't like it. Still like it.

SPEAKER_14 1:48:44

Um as your damage hit it, it seems like it hurts it way more than it should have.

unknown 1:48:50

Huh.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:51

Nice, yeah.

SPEAKER_14 1:48:53

That is your turn, Smiley. We are now to Borislav.

SPEAKER_03 1:48:57

Um far I am 15, 20, 53, 35, 40. Just enough. Um, I'm going to run and get right out. I guess I could go here.

SPEAKER_02 1:49:15

Um. And I'm gonna drop my moon beam uh as I'm running up, and I will be like resorbing that uh magical energy. And as I am, I start to like look really angry and I'm going to rage. Um so first off, I get a I'm gonna do a reckless attack against it. Um, and then I get the other thing from Druid at level five, which is my melee. I I think I get to hit it twice um with that first attack. So find out what it is called though before I do. But I am going to start chopping this tree down. Cool. Go. So I am going to rage.

SPEAKER_14 1:50:06

This is another opportunity where I want you to roll that D20. Let me know if you get a 17 or higher.

SPEAKER_02 1:50:12

It is called 8.

SPEAKER_10 1:50:15

SPEAKER_01 1:51:16

Oh my god. Okay. Double double.

SPEAKER_14 1:51:18

Five plus four.

SPEAKER_02 1:51:20

That's nine.

SPEAKER_14 1:51:22

And you just did a roll. So I'll just I'll narrate what this looks like.

SPEAKER_02 1:51:26

Nine. Second one, Nat 20. Oh. That's double it. Double it. Double twenty.

SPEAKER_05 1:51:35

Double, double, double, twelve. Oh, wait. This one was double.

SPEAKER_14 1:51:38

So whatever you're gonna roll. You're gonna double because the flax has been uh done away. Okay. And then you're gonna double all of that yet again. And then you just not twenty. So you're gonna need to do a bunch of damage stuff for me.

SPEAKER_02 1:51:52

Nine or mat twenty-two plus two. So twenty-three, uh thirty two times two. And so sixty-four damage.

SPEAKER_14 1:52:05

Double double. Yep. So here's narratively what this is going to look like.

SPEAKER_02 1:52:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_14 1:52:10

Um you can roll your your second one if you want, but bring it back. But I will tell you you've already got enough.

SPEAKER_02 1:52:15

Okay. No, that'll be that'll be good.

SPEAKER_14 1:52:17

Zelfira. Um looking up again, you meet um Varillia's eyes, who recognizes you, and you see with your insight resistance. And the uh the clawing lich creature is ready to defend itself against this new combatant, and you see it's like and it like puts its arms down and almost pinned back to take the full damage, and you see a look of concentration on Barylia's face as she holds the beast back to enable um, yeah, uh strike it out a true crit. So on top of being vulnerable from the the phylactery being gone.

SPEAKER_02 1:53:01

Yeah, so 64 points of damage as I start hacking into it, and as I'm like raging, uh this earth real bear is gonna kind of like encompass my whole body as I'm swinging with this axe. And it is a magical axe. Um, and I'm just gonna start hacking nonstop. And then how do you want to do this?

SPEAKER_13 1:53:20

I want to just keep it.

SPEAKER_02 1:53:22

Yeah, you'll just see Borislav keep going. His eyes are completely glowing amber. You don't see any eyes there anymore, and he's just like frothing at the mouth as he keeps hacking this thing until it's just crumbling into the mud and the dirt everything, and gets to a point where he's just breathing super heavy, like looking at the thing.

SPEAKER_14 1:53:44

You're hacking your exclusively a dwarf baby face thing as gurgles, gurgles no more. The head is just caved in. Yeah. The the skeletal top, you're chopping through, it breaks in half at the jaw and goes backwards. And Varilia, her eyes so wanting to die, and you give her this grace that she is seeking and end her as well.

unknown 1:54:09

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_02 1:54:10

Good. And uh, yeah, I think uh Well, there's still a thing left.

SPEAKER_14 1:54:17

There is one thing left. There's also this tree that kind of vibrates above you, and then you see all of those um ones go limp, and then just like the spores that were originally pushed off, they evaporate. Oh happens with including our orange friend. There's no way we could have killed him, so that's decay. It's like hyper decay. He was the real boss.

SPEAKER_10 1:54:47

He really was. Orangy did not want to die.

SPEAKER_14 1:54:50

You know what?

SPEAKER_10 1:54:50

We can't kill the orangey. Yeah, I was like, what about the boss?

SPEAKER_14 1:54:55

Interact with them and then's what happens with the spirits next. The um the keepers of these fruit, have you guys seen a Rambutan before? Like a little spiky red fruit. Oh yeah, yeah. This is kind of what it looks like um inside of these, you know, kind of like fruit pods. Um, but what you see is you were seeing like a humanoid uh form just vaguely, like elbows and knees, it's it's in there, and you see it go away. And the the pods with all the juice in it just kind of go slack, you know, like a dehydrated grape. They they raisen up a little bit, right? And you know that that uh form has teleported, is no longer on this plane of existence as it has left this. Yes, exactly. When the the decay of the creature went away, um the enforcement, the thing that was keeping it here tethered has also gone away and it's gone away.

SPEAKER_13 1:55:47

Except for the six, which have already been taken. How do we know what the six were?

SPEAKER_14 1:55:52

We're gonna find out right now. All right. The six could have been the two Vulpen children, could have been um Karina, could have been Gus, could have been Cinnamon, could have been um Honey Hyde.

SPEAKER_10 1:56:16

But I think there is I'm gonna say we're gonna just start here. You're gonna roll for Karina. There was a hundred souls in there. If you hit a one, she dies.

You're trying to kill me. No, sorry. I'm not even on the fence.

SPEAKER_00 1:58:31

I don't feel like you are all in. For Cinnamon.

unknown 1:58:35

Cinnamon.

SPEAKER_00 1:58:36

Cinnamon! Cinnamon, Cinnamon.

SPEAKER_14 1:58:41

52. Six other random villagers died. Yeah. We don't know that. I don't care if it doesn't personally affect me. It doesn't affect me, then I don't care.

SPEAKER_10 1:59:00

I don't know.

SPEAKER_14 1:59:01

I'm gonna fast track a little bit because you know we we've gone a bit long. Um you guys make it out of it. You verify the kill. This thing is dead. Um, and you have the phylactery uh available to you.

SPEAKER_07 1:59:16

It turned off too.

SPEAKER_14 1:59:18

Um next, you guys um go out of that. Your um B uh rides are awaiting you, and you are able to to take it back to your um to your your triant willow tree. Um and she is uh waiting. Um and what's something that she's done? She's buried um the the the bumbo character. Um and she um has harvested um five sticks from her willow branches and handed them to each of you as a reward. Wow. Um here's how the reward system is going to work. Um I want you guys to each roll a D4 for me. A four.

unknown 2:00:12

A one.

SPEAKER_14 2:00:13

A three. Okay. Um two. Uh go ahead and write this down in your notes so you can uh have it prepared for next time. The uh the willow stick is going to act as a single use wand that will hold a druid spell of the level you just rolled. So if you rolled a four, you get a level four spell that uh of your choice in the druid spell list that you can put into this this wand for a single use. Make sense?

SPEAKER_10 2:00:43

Yes. Now I have to see what your druid spell level ones are.

SPEAKER_12 2:00:46

Um you make this a paintbrush.

SPEAKER_14 2:00:52

The next thing that I'm going to do is um, if you don't mind, Matt, I might take a little moment of a a future session for um the the next piece. Um Yeah, there's there's more here that I want to be able to wrap up uh without the the time period, and I'll be able to to narrate your your piece of it. I'll have you do it digitally or something if you can't make it. Um she speaks to you, and where she leaves the session today is with a simple congratulations, but this is uh this is just the first domino. And you realize what's happened, don't you? This thing has uh died, but uh the interplanetary interplanar system is now open. It's weakened. The Nexus is allowing things to transfer through. There'll be ramifications far upon this. Bumba was clear about this. You avert a disaster, surely. But let's find out what happens next together. And she pulls out a deck of cards. This is how you will be able to get home. And that is where we will end the episode.

SPEAKER_12 2:02:14

Cool! Nice. I don't draw anything, any card that weird lady gives you. No, mama always said, don't draw a card in the weird lady.

SPEAKER_14 2:02:26

Weird lady. Thank you guys for joining us. Thank you.
