- All right, everybody. Welcome to the final Session

0:06

of Campaign one of playing games with strangers.

0:09

This has been the longest four day special

0:12

I've ever done in my life. <laugh>, uh, uh, jokes aside, uh, this is kind

0:19

of an emotional moment for me.

0:21

I don't know about anybody else, but, uh, eh, not only is it the end of campaign one,

0:27

but it is J S's last episode

0:31

as a permanent stranger here. So we'll probably say more about

0:36

that when we get to the end. But with that, the final roll call

0:42

of campaign one with me in the studio.

0:46

Tonight we have the mama

0:48

of the podcast, Celeste Mora.

0:52

Hello, uh, we have

0:55

everybody's favorite squid,

0:58

- Weird Uncle Ky. Hi <laugh>. It's me, <laugh>

1:03

- The talent. Josiah Crandall.

1:06

- Hi, - The world's best

1:10

comic book author, JS Earl's.

1:13

- Hello. - We have the world's Okayest sister-in-Law,

1:18

<laugh>, Amanda Clements. And then we have my total BFF.

1:22

Not even kidding, ever person. Me?

1:27

Uh, no. Uh, dang. <laugh>. Wow.

1:30

- If you can't love yourself, - <laugh>, - You know, it's taken you three

1:35

and a half years to find out that you really do love yourself, John.

1:39

And I'm glad that I was able to help <laugh>.

1:43

- All right. Well, uh, Josiah,

1:47

for the last time in campaign one. - Tonight we embark on the last chapter of our epic journey.

1:55

We've explored Dungeons Met Dragons bin goats,

1:59

and now the Final Battle. So gather round brave souls

2:03

as we dive headfirst into our adventure with each roll

2:06

of the dice, with every choice that's made, that destiny

2:10

of our heroes hangs in the belt.

2:12

- 4, 3, 2, 1. Playing games.

2:17

Stranger know there's no

2:25

playing. I'm playing games with strangers,

2:35

like, play, play. I'm playing games with strangers.

2:43

- Are you so excited that I never have to do this and this voice ever again?

2:47

I am. Woo. It's a really short one.

2:50

We went into some shadows. They sucked us up into the air

2:52

and then dropped us into this realm where there was a lot

2:54

of like, pillars of white things, and then a lot of shadows

2:58

and the realms were emerging. And then there was a town, and then there wasn't a town,

3:01

and then the town was back again. Ah. And then there was a person that was like, Hey,

3:05

you could say the person's name and they'll show up. And then Poo says Tilda, and boom, there's Kerik.

3:12

Let's fight the bus. - I would like to point out by the way that they even,

3:18

I even literally told Poo. Don't say it.

3:23

- <laugh>. I would like to point out that you told Poo don't say it. Yeah.

3:28

- <laugh>. - I think - I'd like to point out that John, you're not an NPC

3:32

or a PC in the game technically. So Poo didn't hear you say it.

3:37

- The NPC said it. - Well, he did. No one. Listen,

3:41

we don't know him. We don't trust him. - Yeah, we don't know. This is just some ghost

3:45

guy popping in and out. - I'm so not - Ready for this.

3:50

- I am so ready for this. - Okay. - We pick up some shenanigans happened at the end,

4:03

and we are starting in full mode.

4:07

Boss fight. And

4:12

Mayra, you're at the beginning of this.

4:15

Uh, all of you are basically suspended

4:19

in nothingness right now. Like the ground has come away from you

4:23

and you're suspended like in space

4:26

around this thing or not around it, but

4:31

because it is both infinitely large

4:34

and small at the exact same time. - Is there a floor or are we just

4:43

- Zero gravity? - Think of it like zero gravity.

4:48

- I don't like that. Okay. But where's the target?

4:50

'cause then whatever's underneath the target is then the

4:53

floor ender taught me that.

4:56

- No, the door is up. - The door is up. You got what I'm

5:00

- Saying. I'm there with you. Like the movie. No,

5:05

- What a great film right there. Oh, geez. Exactly. Word for word. The book.

5:11

- Psychic damage. - I just took psychic damage.

5:14

- So what's our movement speed if we are floating?

5:18

- I don't have a float speed - <laugh>.

5:21

Okay. Apparently somebody wasn't listening last session when

5:23

I said there is no there or here

5:26

- It's it. - Okay. I'm trying to figure out how

5:29

to use my character sheet to do things. - <laugh>. Let's treat it like

5:33

normal and then see what happens. - Okay. <laugh>, - You're our experiment.

5:37

- Cool. - Can I stab it? - Uh, go ahead and roll.

5:42

- Definitely large and small. So, um, we're gonna use my rape here.

5:48

- That makes sense. Okay. - You hit and missed it.

5:52

- <laugh> - At the same time. - Mr. Earls is being snarky tonight.

5:58

- <laugh>, isn't he always - 25? That's

6:01

- Why. Uh, yes. 25 will hit.

6:04

- And is anybody close enough that I would get my bonus

6:09

for whatever it's called? - You're saying specifically for sneak attack, right?

6:14

- Yeah. - This is good information for me to know as well.

6:18

- <laugh>. Oh, okay. I really am the experiment here.

6:20

All right. Yeah, that's fine. - I will say in this instance, no.

6:25

- Okay, - So then 12

6:29

- With my stabby stick. - Alright. - Do you have any bonus actions at all that,

6:36

that you can take or, I'd say movement,

6:39

but movement really doesn't matter. - Hiding is a bonus. Action. - Can I do that?

6:45

- Uh, I was kind of, I'll let you do it.

6:50

Roll stealth. - We, we are able to see each other, correct?

6:58

- Oh, yes. I'm sorry. <laugh>. Oh my - God. It's okay.

7:01

- Wow. - <laugh>. Sorry, I was panicked there for a second. <laugh>

7:06

- <laugh>. Nope. Blind. - We can see everyone, but Mira.

7:12

- All right. Aileen, you're up. - Okay, I'm gonna cast Eldridge blast straight off the bat.

7:19

I really don't like Hilda. - She doesn't like you either. - That's fair.

7:25

- Go ahead and roll. Damage - Seven.

7:32

- You fire off this Eldridge blast. And for as big of a blast as you ripped off, uh,

7:40

you would, it, it, it, and how hard it seemed to hit you would've expected it

7:44

to have done more damage, but, uh, it, it did some,

7:49

but not as much as you would've expected.

7:53

- Well, she always was a stubborn one.

7:56

- Uh, Callum. - Hey, that's me.

8:00

- You have a feeling of cl clarity

8:02

and control in this environment

8:06

that is basically like being suspended in the static

8:11

of a television without a signal. - But could you also explain to me what a television is?

8:17

- You, I'm giving that for an example as far

8:19

as something you would, you the player would relate to.

8:22

- Right? Well, there's a first time for everything.

8:26

Uh, I would like to cast wording Bond

8:30

on Poo, please. And say go get 'em. Champ

8:36

- A Cando, - Uh, which as a reminder that allows you

8:40

to get a plus one to your AC and your saving throw

8:44

and you have resistance to all damage. - Is there something about the current environment

8:49

that is irritating to Callum right now?

8:53

- Well, got Carrick's here. So - I mean, outside of that,

8:59

- Oh, well, I don't know. I think of all the things in the campaign,

9:02

Tilda might have been the most irritating. So <laugh>, other than that, no.

9:06

I feel like Tilda iss our un bridge. Yeah.

9:08

Otherwise, nothing too irritating. At the present moment, uh, I'm feeling good, feeling young

9:14

and full of life.

9:17

Vitality ready to go then waiting. Okay,

9:21

- Fine. I was trying to do something, but it's cool. Uh, so yeah, I

9:25

- Mean, I can always find irritation deep down inside <laugh>.

9:28

- I'm, I'm sure you can, but hopefully you'll find it by your next turn.

9:32

Uh, so Callum, uh, tags the spell onto Poo.

9:37

- If I, if I can feel suspended in place, can I also feel

9:40

as though I can move myself? - Uh, yeah. - Do I get a sense of where people are

9:45

or is it all just the same of like, everyone is kind

9:47

of everywhere - For some reason you have this a sense

9:51

of spatial relation in this environment?

9:54

- It's the first sense of relation I've ever had. Uh, I'd like <laugh>.

9:58

I like, I like to move far away from Kerik.

10:03

Okay. But within a decent amount of space from Poo

10:07

so that I'm close to him. And I'd also like to give Kerik a rude gesture.

10:12

- Uh, it is both in front of his face

10:15

and very far away from him at the same time.

10:18

- Good. He'll see it twice. <laugh>. - Um, all right. Orba, you're up next.

10:24

- Okay. My Tom Sky or whatever it is.

10:29

- Sths. - Sth. - Simar. - So now I'd have to do is click it

10:33

to attack. Yep. - Take the uh, 24 hits. - Woo. Hey,

10:39

- Any deal? A total of Finally someone's starting to hit

10:42

with some power here. - Hey, we did our best. I rolled a net 20.

10:50

- You did? - I did. When I, when I cast Eldridge blasts.

10:55

- Oh, - Alright. So you make a slash

10:58

and it creates this giant gash in, uh, the side

11:03

of Kerik as some brown vetted bile eks out.

11:09

Poo, you're up. - Wait, don't I get to attack more? I'm a barbarian.

11:14

- He does. Oh, he does. Do you have another attack? Go ahead.

11:16

- Yeah. Yeah. <laugh>, - Uh, 16 does not hit, sir, write

11:21

- That down. - You hit so good on that first one that, uh,

11:24

you were distracted and the didn't land your sword, right.

11:27

And you kind of flat sided. - I was thinking about a little song and dance,

11:31

but no, I guess. - Alright, poo, you're up. <laugh>.

11:36

- All right. Kerik. But Tilda, there's

11:40

- Not a good combination. <laugh> here I come

11:44

- And then I, uh, I I run fist swinging, uh,

11:49

for my first attack, and that will not hit.

11:52

- Spatial distortion in this place is difficult to overcome.

11:55

- Yeah, it is. That was, that was rough.

11:58

Um, so, uh, I guess I'll go ahead

12:02

and use my next attack and try again with my other fist.

12:07

Okay. That should work. That's a 24.

12:11

- Uh, yeah, you may, you make contact with that.

12:14

- Okay. Yeah. 13 damage. And since that hit, I'll go ahead

12:18

and use this key point to use, uh, fury

12:22

of Blows and do another strike here.

12:26

Okay. Will be a 21 to

12:31

- Hit. Yeah. Uh, that barely hits.

12:34

- Okay. 11 Damage. Ho

12:36

- Ho. Take that and that, and I am done.

12:42

- Poo comes up swinging and on the first, on the first hit, he manages to hit just

12:46

below the newly opened gash that Orba makes.

12:50

And his fist slips off the brown, uh, foul smelling bile

12:55

that's protruding from it. But with his other fist, he comes up swinging again

13:00

and lands two more strikes on this quivering flesh mound

13:05

as its attention gets turned towards the group.

13:09

- That's right. We're not messing around.

13:12

- And, uh, it looks down and it says

13:16

- Mother sound. You've come home to your aunts,

13:22

but there is no mercy to be found

13:25

- As a giant ma comes down to

13:28

take a bite at you. Uh, Aileen Celeste, you're gonna take 24 points of damage.

13:36

14 piercing and 10 psychic. - Better than what I thought. I I had the thought of.

13:42

I'm in danger. <laugh> <laugh>. This is fine.

13:46

- It spins around and three kite a sickles slash

13:49

out at you poo. - I want to miss those

13:52

- So those miss. And then two tentacles fly out at Orba. Oh, that's that.

13:59

Oh, that's a crit bro. Not

14:02

- A crit pro - <laugh>. Fortunately, it, uh, it's only 24 points

14:09

of bludgeoning damage as these two tentacles shoot out at you.

14:12

And I need you to roll a deck. Save please.

14:15

- While he does that, may I make an opportunity attack on,

14:18

um, this man please. And thank you.

14:21

- An opportunity attack, - Seeing as how there's no such thing as, um, distance here.

14:25

I would assume that he is both within five feet and out of five feet, and

14:28

therefore within the range of an opportunity attack. - Oh, snap. - And he's hitting my

14:32

friends and I don't like it. <laugh> Well, friends is a generous term,

14:35

but I, I'll let it slide for this present moment.

14:40

- Um, I will do that if you can

14:44

roll me a perception check to be able to establish

14:51

a ality to the, to hit,

14:54

because I know you're trying to game the system here,

14:57

because when I said - I am, I am not because Emin's whole class is just hitting

15:01

people when they attack other people that is not gaming the system.

15:04

That's just her class <laugh>. - Oh, okay. Okay, okay.

15:08

I thought you were saying attack of opportunity, like,

15:11

ha ha he's moving away from me. - No, I have Sentinel

15:15

and hold the line, which means if he attacks anyone

15:18

while he is within five feet of me. - Gotcha. Gotcha, gotcha, - Gotcha.

15:21

Or within my reach I should say. - Okay. Okay. I'm sorry, I misunderstood.

15:26

Or bug, uh, rolled a 17.

15:30

That does save. So you managed to just

15:33

after you got hit by these tentacles, you ducked under

15:36

as they tried to grapple around you

15:39

and Emerin swings around. - Can I also, so here's the thing.

15:43

I do kind of want to gain the system now that squid's brought it up, but I also have a

15:47

- Reaction I would like to submit that I did not game the system.

15:50

John just accused me of gaming the system.

15:52

- Well, I'm going to admit that. I would like to. So technically my reaction is a spell called Accelerate

15:58

Decelerate, where I could potentially

16:03

accelerate the amount of damage that Emerin does.

16:08

- Well, I mean, it's a reaction. So that's fine if you want to do that.

16:12

But then your reaction for like, say for instance,

16:15

uncanny Dodge or things like Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>, things of that nature. Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>.

16:18

You wouldn't be able to use it for that then. - Yep. I'm good with that. - I rolled a 21 to hit,

16:25

- Uh, barely hits. - Great. Barely is still hit 13 slashing.

16:33

- Is this the gla that to, is this the Okay,

16:36

- The yum. Yum. Gla Mm-Hmm. <affirmative> the yum.

16:39

- So plus nine - 13 plus 9 22.

16:44

I did that fast. I'm proud of myself. Math <laugh>.

16:48

- All right. Uh, I'm so, yeah,

16:50

Kerik not happy about getting stabbed.

16:54

And as Carrick's reaction, uh, suddenly,

17:00

uh, time space develops in your area

17:05

and you are all on ground, uh, all within five feet.

17:10

So there are no attacks of opportunity, uh, of Kerik

17:14

and Kerik figure or dimension.

17:20

It turns into a smaller version of itself.

17:22

- So we're not social distancing anymore. - <laugh>, tiny Kerik. - Well, still bigger than you, but

17:31

- Relative. - You're right. - Relative, uh,

17:34

- Crowd. Yay,

17:37

- Wilder, you're up. - I'm going to use a can trip called Infestation,

17:43

which, uh, essentially I'm casting a cloud of Mites, fleas,

17:47

and other parasites on two Kerik.

17:51

Okay. And he has to succeed a con save.

17:56

Otherwise he takes damage. He needs to be to 14.

18:00

- I like how Amanda, I made the same face.

18:03

- Uh, 21. - Okie dokie.

18:06

- Barely. Barely. But he does it. <laugh>.

18:08

- <laugh>. - He doesn't itch,

18:11

but everybody else seeing it does, - Shouldn't they be attracted

18:15

to all the bile coming out of it? - Okay, well, um, so nothing happens with that.

18:22

- Good try. - That's cool. Yeah.

18:24

So I would like to use that disengage

18:27

and then give myself about 20 feet of space.

18:31

- Oh, that's - It. <laugh>. - So land appears and, and, uh, <laugh> Wilder go, comes up

18:39

and goes every Jabba. And then it's just little poof. And he's like, nevermind.

18:42

And runs off. - Just kidding. - <laugh>.

18:47

- Good. Good try. Wilder. Good try.

18:51

- Okay. I love you. Bye-Bye. - That's amazing. Emerin.

18:55

- I would like to hit him. - I would like to rage. Um,

18:59

- I would, I would like to submit that I am raging.

19:04

I am, however, not a barbarian, so it does nothing, but it's cathartic.

19:11

That is a 22 to hit the

19:13

- Hits - That is 44.

19:15

Damage to this individual poof.

19:20

To, to this Tilda, to this Tilda.

19:24

Everyone also makes a rude gesture, but it's a different gesture than call man.

19:28

- Interesting. All right. Uh, any bonus actions at all?

19:33

- I'd like to action search, just to get this out of the way. Right away.

19:35

- You waited for it. - So I'll do three more attacks,

19:41

- No cut. - 43 damage.

19:44

And then I'll just use the free action to ye instead

19:46

of the bone of suction <laugh>. - So yeah, you hack a chunk off of Kerik.

19:52

Uh, seems very unhappy about it, but, uh,

19:55

- Well - Ts the brakes as they say. Mera.

20:00

- Is there a behind the creature?

20:03

- There is a behind the creature. - Can I stab it? <laugh>. <laugh>.

20:12

- Alright. - 27.

20:15

- Oh yeah, that hits - Barely <laugh>.

20:20

Is this really eight D six? - Yes, ma'am. - I'm not doing very good.

20:25

- Now for the maths. - May I suggest a calculator? I don't trust that, but Sure.

20:30

40 - Sounds right.

20:33

So, uh, yeah, you're, you're able to kind of carve into

20:38

this beast, but again, you make contact with it

20:42

and it doesn't seem to cut like it's supposed to,

20:45

and it doesn't take as it, it doesn't seem like it's doing

20:49

as much damage as you would want it to. - Not much I can do about that.

20:54

- All right, Aileen, - Oh, goodie.

20:57

I am going to play my hopp with a 19 to hit,

21:02

- Uh, a 19 misses. Aileen pulls out this harp button

21:06

and you guys watch this bead of orange just fly by.

21:11

And then somewhere in the background you see a

21:13

massive explosion. Good,

21:16

- Good, good try, Aileen. I like the effort. Let's keep it going. Team.

21:20

- Thanks Poo. - Callum, you're up.

21:23

- Great. I would like to cast harm.

21:27

- <laugh>, - Um, - <laugh>, wouldn't we all?

21:31

- It sounds like a joke, but that's actually the name of the spell.

21:33

That's what I'd like to cast on. Kerik. - Alright. - Um, so Kerik needs

21:37

to make a constitution saving throw.

21:40

- Uh, 1517 - Is the d dc so I'm going to roll all these dice. Hang on.

21:46

- Do we how many, how many of what dice are those for the listening?

21:50

- That is 14 D six. Yeah. - Oh my good Lord.

21:55

- Yeah. This is one of the biggest spells I have - While Squid tries to

21:59

identify the highest number that there is.

22:02

- Come back to me in about four minutes, please. <laugh>,

22:06

- This is that dangerous math game

22:08

that your parents warned you about in the eighties.

22:11

Oh, no. There's demons in math. - Um, okay. So that's going to be 49 points

22:16

of necrotic damage. Um, and the hit point maximum will also be reduced by 49

22:23

- As this hits. And for the amount of power that you unleash to reduce

22:29

by 49, it doesn't quite do as much damage

22:33

as you had. - Just not nice. - Hey, you know,

22:39

- That's rude, John. That's rude.

22:42

- I didn't make this build. I'm just using it.

22:45

Mm-Hmm, <affirmative> - Likely good.

22:48

- Excuse a very valid excuse. Is there anything that on a subconscious level,

22:52

Callum would change about his environment? Right now?

22:55

- I'd probably make Kerik take all the damage. <laugh>.

23:01

- Uh, as you think this to yourself, you watch the ground

23:04

underneath Kerik shift and push the beast up

23:07

and then down again, uh, but to no avail.

23:09

You, you get the feeling that that was kind of produced by

23:14

your irritation. - I am filled with irritation,

23:18

not determination in this case. - Uh, Orba, you're up, homie.

23:24

I'd like caar, hopefully

23:27

- Best - Bow. Uh, yo. Yeah, you ca you rolled a 31.

23:30

That's, that's gonna hit homie. Whew.

23:33

- Ooh. - Be oh. Sweet Zombie Jesus. All right.

23:35

Um, you crit on that one.

23:38

Uh, you land two solid strikes on this, uh, on this beast

23:42

as more, uh, brown feted bile

23:47

flows from its wounds. Poo, you're up. Oh

23:50

- Boy. Let's try this again. You,

23:56

- So this will be with thoughts seven, damage.

24:00

Only one of them is psychic. And then I'll punch again.

24:05

And then on that I will use fur of blows.

24:09

And now I'll use my second action to attack again.

24:12

And that one will not.

24:14

- Uh, two hits seems to be the order of the day every time you guys attack kerik.

24:19

But as, as soon as poo gets done beating on Kerik,

24:24

the gaping wounds that or bog left in the side of her, uh, a tongue comes out

24:31

of it and starts to lick the bile that's seeping out.

24:34

- Oh, that's, - That's not sanitary. That's disgust.

24:39

- It slurps it back in. And it seems like the wounds ti kind of close up a bit.

24:45

- I don't like that. No, I don't. <laugh>.

24:48

- And then instead of doing a physical attack, it's going

24:51

to look towards, uh, you a lean

24:56

and it is going to cast a seventh level fantasm killer.

25:00

- Oh God. What does that do? Nothing good.

25:04

- I need you to make a wisdom saving throw. Please.

25:08

- Needle 11. - Uh, yeah, that's not gonna do it.

25:12

This creature, it reaches into your, uh, mind

25:15

and pulls out an illusory manifestation

25:18

of your deepest fear. Which is what?

25:22

- Another Tilda. There's two Tilda <laugh>.

25:25

I, uh, I don't know.

25:28

- Well, whatever it is, we'll just put a big censored bar over the front of it

25:32

so nobody else gets frightened. Uh, it's

25:36

- Artificial vanilla <laugh> - <laugh>.

25:40

It's a big bottle of it. - You, you, you see the production line a giant

25:44

- Be Beaver - <laugh>. Yeah. - Giant beaver. - You see a giant

25:48

artificial vanilla production line, - Those poor beavers.

25:53

- And you are going to take, uh, seven D 10 psychic damage.

25:59

- Disgraceful. Well, - Oh, lots of ones in there.

26:03

Uh, you only take 25 points of psychic damage.

26:07

- Okay. Ow you fat. - So you sw you

26:12

- Embarrassment to the name of this family.

26:16

- That's no way to talk to our friend. Show 'em Wilder.

26:19

- I am going to cast minor life steal

26:22

that says You drain life energy from a hostile creature.

26:25

You can see within range. The target must succeed on a constitution saving throw

26:30

or take a certain amount of necrotic damage.

26:32

- I rolled a dirty 20. - Well fart.

26:37

Not cool. Um, I'm really,

26:42

really loving my character right now.

26:46

- <laugh>. - Sorry, my dude.

26:52

- I'm just gonna sit. No. Um, - <laugh>,

26:56

- I was gonna sit and cry 'cause crying is a free action.

26:59

I - That's good to know.

27:06

- No, - I think I'm gonna cut off my hands

27:08

and no more magic for me, but - <laugh>, that's an option.

27:12

- Emerin your turn. - Uh, I know this will probably be

27:15

surprising, but I'd like to hit him - No.

27:18

Hard. - I know, I know.

27:20

It'll be even more surprising when I say I wanna do it with Myla.

27:23

- Really? I know the sharp side - Haven't decided.

27:26

Okay. We'll see after I roll. So 20

27:31

- No hit - And a 19, so that one won't.

27:35

And then, uh, natural 19.

27:40

- I know how I feel and I'd like to use my reaction

27:43

to cast accelerate decelerate at third level.

27:46

So that's 2D six plus one - Three plus another 16.

27:52

- So Emerin emerin whiffs on two swings of the,

27:55

of her grave, but manages to catch him with that third one.

27:59

It sparks a little bit of bile at you as you make contact.

28:04

- I look mad about it. - <laugh>, as you do about pretty much

28:09

everything in life at this point. Yeah. Uh, Mera, you're up. I'm gonna

28:13

- Be really interesting and I'm going to try

28:17

and cast inflict wound.

28:20

- Do you, are you a spell caster? - No. This is a special thing that happens

28:24

because of my race, huh?

28:27

- Oh, - Yeah. 'cause I am in the winter season.

28:31

I get to have a spell. I've had this spell forever

28:34

and I haven't needed it for anything. - I did not know this about you.

28:38

You, you have sufficiently surprised me.

28:41

- 13. That was great. Awesome. Nevermind.

28:47

- A 13 to hit. Yeah, that's not gonna do it. I know.

28:49

- All right, cool. That was an attack.

28:52

So I guess I will, um, hide

28:57

- <laugh>. So, so you, you guys watch this as mayor comes outta hiding,

29:01

just comes up and gives a loving caress down the back of,

29:04

uh, of Tilda. Then goes back into hiding again. <laugh>

29:07

- Goes, oh man, I didn't like that one bit <laugh>.

29:13

I touched her and decided it was bad. - Okay, I'm gonna cast Dark strike.

29:18

- Dark strike Old - To 25. - Oh that's gonna hit.

29:22

- It says you invoke a dark spectral weapon in the shape

29:25

of your choosing from the realm of poison and disease

29:28

and use it as a melee weapon on a hit.

29:31

You deal 3D eight plus four force damage.

29:35

And the enemy must make a con saved

29:37

or be knocked back 10 feet,

29:40

- Uh, rolled a 17 for that con save

29:43

- It meets so she doesn't get knocked back 10 feet.

29:47

No darn. - Uh, but she does take all the damage.

29:53

So a Aileen just reaches out and as she reaches out this large long blade of

30:00

darkness stabs into, uh, Kerik as, uh,

30:05

she quivers from the, uh, stabbing motion.

30:10

And as Kerik quivers, you feel the space

30:14

around you quiver with her. - I don't like that. Uh, I like to pass toll the dead

30:22

on Kerik. So that's a wisdom saving throw.

30:28

- He rolls at 28. - Well, you know what, that passes surprisingly

30:35

as my D C's not 28.

30:37

And I go, that's upsetting.

30:40

Also upsetting that you said he 'cause you corrected me on that 'cause it's,

30:44

- Yeah. My bad. - Uh, and then as my bonus action,

30:47

I'm gonna cast sanctuary on Eileen

30:50

- Sanctuary. Sorry. What does that do for me?

30:54

- Um, yes. So anyone that wants to target you with an attack

30:58

or a harm or spell has to make a saving throw.

31:00

And if they fail, they have to target someone else and they can't hit you.

31:04

- Oh, good. - Uh, and it will protect you up

31:06

until the point in which you make an attack or cast another expel.

31:12

So there you have it. Also, I think that

31:15

this is rather annoying. - What's annoying? - That she keeps talking mostly.

31:22

That's what I find annoying. Currently. - Her voice is annoying. - Yeah, it's pretty irritating.

31:29

- And now it's amplified. Now that it's in a back, a big old body that's even worse.

31:33

Just want her to stop - Talking. Orba, you're up.

31:37

- Okay. I'm gonna hit him with the Tamar again, by the way,

31:42

just because I'm curious like when,

31:46

when Orba and, uh, Eren hit him

31:50

with their Tom weapons, we don't see,

31:53

we don't really see anything go off

31:55

of people when we hit them with Tom's thing

31:59

where he gets some of their life essence

32:01

or just like when they, when they die.

32:05

- Oh, wait, you had a crunchy potion, didn't you? - Yes, I did. - Yeah.

32:09

You see, uh, you see bits of their life essence fly off.

32:14

- Okay. Psychedelic. - It's almost like the, the skin is almost like really thick

32:21

version of a, an earthworm skin.

32:25

- Ew. - Hmm. Descriptive

32:28

- How to eat frog worms. - Uh, you got another, you got two more swings on you homie.

32:33

Yep. So you swing around with, uh, the other one.

32:37

But a tentacle flies out and smacks your, uh, simar away.

32:43

Um, as you swing around with, uh, the first simar again

32:48

and make contact for another 18 points of demos.

32:53

- And I'll round up for Josiah's children. - Appreciated. - Okay, let's go.

32:59

- And I go for another punch and I will go ahead

33:04

and use my,

33:08

I'll spend a key point here and use stunning strike with that one.

33:13

Is that con saving throw? - Uh, 31? - Uh, yeah. That beats it outta the water.

33:19

And then I'll go ahead and, uh, attack again.

33:23

- Okay. 19 does not hit

33:29

- Then that is, uh, I believe that's it for me.

33:34

- And just like last time, more tongues come out

33:36

of the lacerations on the side and lap up the brown.

33:39

Stop that <laugh>. Uh, and it heals again.

33:45

And it's going for its multi attack.

33:49

What, what kind of save does it have to make to try to attack

33:52

- Wisdom please? - Does a 15 pass? - No.

33:57

- Oh. Oh, thank God. Then it's going to bite down on you. Callum.

34:00

- Is it close enough to me? - Oh, that's right. You backed off.

34:04

Uh, then it's going to bite - It.

34:06

Wave. I will beast. - Then it's going to poopoo, then it's gonna bite Poopoo. <laugh>. It's

34:10

- Gonna poop. - It's, - Oh no. What? Hell,

34:13

- Uh, okay. - Does a 23 hit?

34:17

- Uh, yeah. Does barely

34:21

- Projectile poo - Stab?

34:23

Its, but more ma - Okay.

34:26

Uh, poo, uh, you take 23 points of damage.

34:29

Seven of 'em are psychic - Halved.

34:33

- Yes. Because of you. Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. You're welcome.

34:36

- Um, and she did not like seeing that being halved.

34:40

So she's going to strike you again.

34:43

- Oh. Just try - It with its, uh, sickles 26 to hit

34:49

- That does, - Uh, you'd take nine points of slashing

34:52

and nine points of poison damage. - Okay. - Ow. I can't be affected by poison, I don't think.

35:00

'cause I have diamond soul. No, not that one timeless body.

35:05

No. I have defense against poison somehow for being a monk.

35:10

Purity of body. That's it. Uh, you're immune to disease and poison, so would that Yep.

35:16

- Yep. - I think it's just a poisoned condition.

35:18

- Yeah, that's what I was wondering. - No, I would count that for poison damage too,

35:23

because I mean, if you're immune to poison that it poison's not gonna damage you. So,

35:27

- Yeah. Okay. Thank you. - And then it swings its tentacles around at you again. Poo.

35:33

It really wants a piece of you. - Oh, everyone wants a piece

35:36

- Of poopoo break meal, a piece of

35:39

- That <laugh>? Uh, I can't believe I didn't think about

35:43

that before I said it. <laugh>. Alright. Uh, <laugh> does a 15 hit?

35:48

- Nope. - All right. So it misses with the tentacles.

35:52

- I do like a matrix dodge on that one.

35:55

- Oh, - Okay. All right.

36:00

Um, well, let's see if physical attacks work,

36:05

I'm gonna throw my Adam Anine dagger.

36:11

That's a 19. Ready to get physical. I should probably just go home.

36:15

- Any particular direction? - At, at at

36:20

- Not - The only one. They went there obviously. And so it was a 19, so that failed.

36:27

But I can still use sneak attack even though it wasn't successful.

36:31

We thought was little. Like, uh, 24 is what my sneak attack.

36:36

- Was that a to hit or damage? - Damage?

36:39

- Uh, she's not looking good, folks. Not looking good at all.

36:43

- She wasn't looking good before - This.

36:45

That's what I was gonna say. - We're making - Her look better.

36:49

- You - G anything else you want to do?

36:52

- Oh, um, - Anything slow

36:58

- As a bonus action. I would like to cast,

37:03

um, shadow blade.

37:08

I'm essentially making a blade out of shadow

37:11

so I can use it on my next turn. - Oh, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Alright. Um, alright.

37:18

Ameren, can you put the beast down

37:20

before it gets an opportunity? - I know this will be surprising.

37:26

- <laugh>. - I'd like to hit her with mylas,

37:29

my OneLA multiple times I should say. - Okay. Go ahead and try.

37:36

- 18 plus another 18.

37:39

That's 36. Total damage. Yeah.

37:44

36 damage. And then natural one on the last swing.

37:50

- Uh, fumble chart. Fumble chart.

37:53

It's time for me to pull up a fumble chart.

37:58

Um, go ahead and roll a D 100 please.

38:02

- I would love to A 21.

38:10

- Uh, you shook yourself up.

38:12

Uh, the backswing on this, uh, on your grave came across.

38:17

You swung too hard on that second swing

38:19

and you smacked yourself in the face. You are stunned for one round.

38:24

- Ouch. - All right. Now, and

38:28

- This is, this is the point of the round. You can take legendary action.

38:30

- Oh, can I, if - You Yeah, <laugh> please. If you lie

38:33

- <laugh> do I Do I have your permission now - If you want.

38:36

All in favor? You don't to All all in favor - Say, aye - Uh, nayyy,

38:41

we all vote against it. Yeah. We don't wanna - Railroad you into it.

38:46

<laugh> choo choo. We going to do this?

38:52

- I'm in danger. - <laugh>. Oh no. <laugh>.

38:58

- Aileen, I need you to make a dexterity saving throw please.

39:02

- Oh, I'm good at dexterity. 28

39:05

- Famous last words. Yeah. - So black tentacles fly up out of the ground at you.

39:10

Uh, but you managed to, you definitely managed to, uh,

39:14

dodge out of the way of them. Eh, you're, uh, Mera.

39:20

- I'm gonna poke her again. - Roll to attack, please.

39:25

- I tried. - I - Got a 12.

39:28

- Oh, that's not gonna do. Oh, how poetic. Okay.

39:32

Is anything else you want to do? - Ha. Can I hide again? - You sure can.

39:38

- All right. Goodbye. - <laugh>. - Aileen? - Yes.

39:44

- It's time to put your ant down. - I'm gonna do my best - Time

39:48

to put her out to pasture her. - Okay, I'm going, I'm gonna try

39:52

that Hop again. 22.

39:56

- 22 will hit my question is, how do you want to do this?

40:04

- I'm not entirely sure other than she gets hit in the

40:09

face with fireballs. - You launch off this fireball

40:13

and this sucker makes contact this time.

40:16

Um, and

40:19

as this fireball ignites on Tilda, you,

40:22

it smells like burnt hair. As this creature explodes

40:29

into a mass of nothingness, um,

40:33

and you feel the realm begin to implode around you,

40:39

um, you can vaguely make out where your entrance point was.

40:44

Uh, I'm gonna need everyone

40:47

to make a dexterity throw.

40:52

- Can Callum just try to get within five feet of everyone?

40:59

- Um, yeah, we'll, we'll count that towards your, uh,

41:04

we'll count that towards your dexterity roll.

41:12

- Okay. Well I rolled a natural 18 plus

41:17

3 21.

41:22

- Uh, yeah. I'll, I'll allow that. You're, you're within about 10 feet of everybody. Wow.

41:29

- Then as soon as I'm there, I'll cast word of call

41:33

and need us all back to the tower.

41:41

- You guys actually appear about six inches above the ground

41:46

in the, in the, uh, tower.

41:50

- Better than six inches into the ground. - Air - <laugh>,

41:54

- You, you all land horizontally.

41:57

And it's like you guys did a belly flop in Gore.

42:00

And not only Gore, but Gore's gore that's been left out for several days.

42:05

- Ow. - Can I fall nicely with feather fall?

42:09

I just want like, - You slowly descend into this filth.

42:13

It it feels a lot like laying down in a shallow

42:17

pool of pudding. - Less Aha. Gross.

42:25

- I don't think that blessing had anything to do with this one. What

42:28

- Did we do it? I think we did it.

42:31

- Either that or something she sneezed on us.

42:34

I don't know what all this is. - Yeah, I don't, I don't quite know, but

42:40

- I've paid That - Was eventful. - Yes. I mean, Wilder. You were great or bog. Way to go.

42:49

Mira. I saw you out there, - But did you though?

42:54

- Barely, but barely. - I had to squint. Hey, lean.

42:58

You finally got your fireball harp thing to work.

43:02

- I did. Ow - And Callum.

43:08

- Hi. - I mean, way to go. Callum <laugh>.

43:13

You, you are good at this sort of thing.

43:16

- I don't, you know, I feel like you were real specific

43:19

with everyone else and then you just kinda said you were

43:21

good at this thing to me, but I'll take it. No, I

43:23

- Say this thing to be fair. - You were great at everything.

43:27

- Yes, exactly. - Oh, well thank you. I don't think that I've often, uh, been told that

43:31

- You gave him the one and then you gave him the two

43:34

and then you were like all sorts of

43:37

- Stuff. I did, I did do a little bit of that. Yeah. I didn't do a whole lot of one and two.

43:40

That was mostly your, your bit. That's right.

43:44

- And then, um, Iran. Well, your life was magnificent.

43:51

- Yes, it is quite wonderful. - And, um, what will

44:00

- Ow - Ow what Now this tastes like artificial chocolate.

44:05

- Yeah. How you feeling? een? Are you

44:08

- Help - <laugh> yard? I your wounds Eileen.

44:14

- And so a, a as as you're casting that healing, uh,

44:20

you hear a familiar, uh, amp

44:25

and he goes, well, it looks like you did it.

44:29

I'm I'm, I'm very proud of all of you.

44:34

- Did we though? Did we actually like do it that?

44:37

- Are we sure? - Oh yeah.

44:41

- I always wanted to hear that. I feel like

44:43

that's just though I've been waiting my whole life for that phrase. - I feel like Tilda is is one of those little,

44:48

just keep coming back. We already thought we killed her once. Well

44:54

- Here's, here's the thing. Miss Aileen, uh, this moment is eternal.

45:01

You're just only experiencing it right now.

45:05

So, but that's a whole nother time thing.

45:09

- I mean, I feel like, I feel like we, we uh,

45:13

I feel very accomplished. I mean,

45:16

- I mean, I know we defeated her this time, but is she dead?

45:20

Dead? - I mean, for all intents and purposes Yes.

45:26

- I don't like the way you phrased that. What

45:28

- Does - That mean? See, that's what I'm saying. Like, something else is amiss

45:32

and um, something else is going on.

45:36

Th this can't be it. - I mean, a lot - Of people die.

45:40

Hey, can, can people die for real now? - Yes. - And like, not be eaten.

45:49

- Yes. Uh, but about that a as he's talking, you feel slightly less

45:57

enhanced, if that makes sense.

46:01

And Callum Yeah. You, you feel that feeling too.

46:05

It, it's sort of like a, it's sort of like that post

46:09

holiday feeling of, huh, - I got that feeling before the holidays given my, uh,

46:15

you know, familial situation. - But, and he goes, yeah,

46:18

you're probably feeling it right about now too.

46:21

Um, the do on away with the aspect system

46:26

now that they see the flaw on it. So, uh,

46:29

- Um, yes. Hello? I'd like to, may I,

46:32

I have a question if I could, uh, if I may.

46:34

- Okay. - Just kind of, I don't, I don't mean to sound, uh,

46:39

particularly questioning of what you're saying here.

46:42

Uh, they who, - You know, the big guy,

46:47

- Would we refer to him as they now? - You can - Just, I I've never done that.

46:53

Haven't heard you done that, but alright, carry on.

46:55

Keep going. I'll stand back here and listen the - Whole, the whole three in one

46:59

and one in three aspects sort of thing. I figured, you

47:04
