4:06
felon. He's the one that's been arrested,
4:09
but he's not the only convicted felon.
4:15
I will say, I was thinking about this the other day,
4:18
because I got
4:20
arrested and I was in jail, and
4:23
they take your belt and everything, and I'm just
4:25
like, man, this sucks. And
4:29
that was the top of the list. The belt.
4:32
The belt. Well, and the one day I choose oversized
4:34
pants. It's one of the reasons I was
4:36
so glad I got TSA pre-checked, because it's just like, I just
4:38
want to have some dignity. I want to be able to keep
4:40
my belt on as long as I want to have my belt
4:42
on. One of the little things that
4:44
they rob you of when you normally get on a plane. So
4:46
we're sitting there, and we're sitting there
4:48
in the tank, and I'll never forget,
4:50
we're watching Deep Space Nine, the head
4:52
on the TV. And
4:55
I was telling the other guys in there, and it was
4:57
just like, what's that guy in Spencer for Heart? It was
4:59
like, yeah, he was in Spencer for Heart. So
5:03
what happened? Do you want to talk about it? I don't want
5:05
to talk about it. Okay. Is that
5:07
a cape or an ankle on here? It was a
5:09
misunderstanding. It's a misunderstanding. I
5:12
got a ticket one time that was funny,
5:14
but I wasn't arrested. I
5:16
was in Seaside in New Joyzie.
5:18
Okay. Sorry. They
5:21
have loser rules. We went
5:23
there after prom, so I was maybe 18? Yes, you did.
5:26
Maybe 17. Okay. We
5:28
all rented a house, all the kids, and the parents were kind
5:30
of like, have fun. And
5:32
we went on our own. I mean, yeah, Joe
5:35
was making a face. I'm just kind of baffled for
5:37
it. Aren't you from like upstate New York? Oh, no,
5:39
is this when you were in New York City? No,
5:41
I mean, we live like close to the city.
5:43
I'm from like downstate New York, I would say.
5:45
Okay. But we drove. We drove down to Jersey,
5:47
and- You could choose anywhere. You could choose anywhere.
5:50
You could choose anywhere. You could choose from Seaside.
5:52
Okay. You don't know anything about
5:54
the Jersey Shore after
5:56
prom situation. Oh, yeah. It's
5:58
a thing. It's a thing. one is there
6:00
all these young kids and you rent a
6:02
house and you illegally buy alcohol and then
6:04
you get wasted so my friend and I
6:06
were going to the boardwalk and we filled
6:08
up water bottles you know with vodka or
6:10
whatever we're walking up to the boardwalk to
6:12
have a night on the town and
6:15
a bike cop pulls

7:30
one time producer Francis and I
7:32
and our good friend Dave Kang
7:35
finished a night I'm telling this story Francis finish
7:39
a night of drinking at a bar in
7:41
a story I called McCann's and
7:44

7:48
after that yeah I this well this is before this
7:50
was a hundred years ago this is me and the
7:52
Marvel guy that was that was our hangout we were
7:54
there like three four times a week I love McCann's
7:56
I used to give out wooden tokens you could come
7:58
back get a free drink Right, right. Anyways,
8:01
there's a whole story. Francis, as is. I
8:04
mean, we used to, the bars close at 4am
8:06
here in New York, most people know that, a
8:08
lot of people don't, and of course after drinking
8:10
all night, we weren't done at 4am, we were
8:12
like, wow, we need a little bit more. So
8:14
Francis and Dave and I, we go to a
8:16
packie or like a store and we just get
8:18
like a couple six packs, maybe a couple tall
8:20
boys, and we're
8:22
like, let's just walk to the
8:24
river and just sit on the rocks, sit on
8:26
a park bench, have a beer like adults, watch
8:29
the sunrise. So we
8:32
start walking down to Astoria Park
8:35
and the way it is, it's like you can walk
8:37
into the park to walk to the thing or you
8:39
can just walk along the street. It
8:42
takes the same amount of time. Well, it's a beautiful night,
8:44
it's 4.15 in the morning, we want
8:46
to walk through the park. So there's a cop
8:48
car sitting right there and we get maybe, what,
8:50
10 feet into the park? The
8:52
guys come out and we're like, oh no, it's
8:54
game over. This is, it's
8:56
game over. And they come in and they're like, what's going
8:58
on guys? And we're like, oh, we're just walking
9:01
back to our apartment. We're walking through
9:04
the park to walk back to our apartment. And they're like,
9:06
what do you got in the bag there? We're like, it's
9:08
alcohol, it's closed. It's all, look,
9:10
unopened, everything was unopened. It's not like
9:13
we were, we were seconds
9:15
away from opening it and drinking it
9:17
outside. But they gave
9:19
us a big fat ticket, three individual tickets.
9:21
For what? For walking through a closed park.
9:23
Yeah, you're not supposed to. Parks have curfews.
9:25
Parks have curfews. And when I say we
9:27
were like 10 feet in
9:29
the park, we could have easily just like, they could
9:31
be like, hey guys, parks closed, but nope. It
9:33
was a close stakeout all the time. They're like,
9:36
got him. Get his belt. And
9:39
it was a fat, fat ticket. These were like
9:41
multi hundred dollars at the time. I didn't have
9:43
any money. And so we went
9:45
to court to dispute it and we had a sleepover
9:47
at Dave's house. Do you remember this? We had a
9:50
sleepover because the court appearance was at like, you had
9:52
to be at the court at 6 a.m. It
9:54
was fucking crazy. And at Dave's, just a
9:56
couple months later, we went in there and we
9:58
had to like dispute The thing and were
10:00
in their together we get appointed a lawyer arms
10:03
resort to pay the ticket nine or a. It
10:05
was basically day courts and we have to sit
10:07
there and watch all these like weird quirk is
10:09
like I came up and was being tried for
10:12
hanging out in the playground without a child allowed
10:14
to do that. He said well lit it was
10:16
like I was just sitting there in the plague
10:18

10:21
have to. You can't go in a playground you
10:23
have to sit outside of. It's like a little
10:25

10:27

11:29
minutes. Models you know you're drunk.
11:31
watch out. In until you sat
11:34
down. Rooted. In the bags little bit
11:36
and then and then you would have a a else
11:38
is. Proof that the system is so broken. Know
11:40
that this cop was waiting for people to walk
11:42
into the part to give them it's bogus tickets.
11:44
For the thirty of a month and they had to get a
11:46
grenade you went and. You went thought it which is good on
11:48
you could death people wouldn't do that and. A. cop didn't show
11:50
up i think to outwit life when a cop
11:52
and so obviously always dispute easier ways to day
11:54
but to save fuel but i was in one
11:56
the last arms i was in mccance of the
11:59
nexus guy I heard his voice not familiar and it
12:01
was MC Chris. Remember
12:03
MC Chris? Yeah from Aquitine
12:05
Hunger Force. Oh my gosh. I had
12:07
just seen him perform like down near
12:10
NYU like two weeks previous.
12:13
So I was like, are you MC Chris? I was like, yeah, yeah. And
12:16
so I talked to him for like a half hour and then
12:18
I introduced them to the Marvel guys like Pat McGrath and I
12:20
think Nick was there. And I had
12:22
to go home and I guess he just like
12:24
proceeded to pitch them really weird Spider-Man ideas for
12:26
the whole rest of the night. That rocks. Mackenzie's
12:31
great. They have a little pool table in the back
12:33
but the walls were too thin. Yeah. Like
12:35
if you had to take a shot from the side,
12:37
you have to use a tiny little stick. Yeah, tiny
12:40
little sticks like just for that. There were two tables
12:42
back there. I used to go there and play pool
12:44
with Land Keith. And
12:46
we were at like the top of our pool game. So
12:49
this is when we'd actually like try to beat people and stay
12:51
on tables. Is this place still here?
12:53
No, I think it's just. No, I think so. I
12:55
was gonna say let's go. Our old office, which is,
12:57
you know, a stone's thrower from here, you could walk
12:59
there. It was about a block away or two blocks
13:01
away. We never really went there. I think it closed.
13:03
But. Oh man. If it
13:05
didn't, we should definitely go. We should. Yeah. They
13:08
have dark, disturbingly closed to where people sit at
13:10
the bar. Closed. No. I
13:12
knew it. No. No.
13:15
Oh. What a punch in the
13:17
wiener. That place was great. Dumber.
13:19
Yeah, it's a really good bar. I
13:22
mean, it was really kind of a shitty dive
13:25
bar but that's what made it great. A great
13:27
dive. A great dive. A great dive. I had
13:29
food. They served food. Good staff. Good staff. Great
13:31
staff. Let's go to their website. What
13:35
are you gonna learn there? If they're open or not. No,
13:37
the web, the web's head's dead. Server
13:41
is dead. Wow. That's what happened.
13:44
That's what it was. You can't run anything
13:46
fees. Killed the bar. Everyone knows
13:48
you can't run a good dive without a classy website. Were
13:51
you ever afraid that you were gonna get arrested and it didn't
13:53
happen? Yeah, yeah, I was.
13:56
I think I told this story. I might've
13:58
told this story already but. Shocker,
14:02
I was a good kid in high
14:04
school and I never drank a drop
14:07
and never smoked any drugs or
14:11
even came close. My friends
14:13
and I were big fans of bowling and diner.
14:15
You didn't even have a man name until you
14:17
were in college. I'm not surprised. You
14:19
let it free. I didn't have a taco until I
14:21
was in college. You grew up in 1950s Milwaukee? That's
14:24
kind of what it was like. In
14:27
my sophomore year
14:30
of high school, I did the musical for
14:32
the first time. I went out for the
14:34
musical and I did the show. What show
14:36
was it? It was Anything Goes. Who
14:38
did you play? Except for number two. I was
14:40
with Porter number two. Except for number two. I actually...
14:43
Yeah, I know the same thing. Didn't Cole Porter write
14:45
Anything Goes? Wrote the music. Wrote the music. Ah.
14:48
Which version of the book did you do? So you played Cole Porter?
14:51
This isn't relevant to the story of the thing. This is the thing.
14:53
Let's move on. So anyway, very quickly... Did
14:55
you do the 1987 revision? Damn it Matthew!
14:57
Damn it Matthew! Not about that! Not about
14:59
that! I'm curious. Make
15:02
your own podcast! Make your
15:04
own podcast! So
15:08
I was invited
15:10
to the cast party at
15:12
a house in Northeast Philly, which was
15:14
like a rough neighborhood. And
15:17
I asked my parents, can I go to the cast
15:19
party? And I'm like a young sophomore. I'm like 15.
15:23
And my parents are like,
15:25
okay, alright, he's growing up.
15:27
His friend's gonna... He's getting in a car
15:29
with a senior that's gonna drive him into
15:32
the city, to this cast party. So
15:34
I go to the cast party, I get
15:36
downstairs, and the first thing that I see
15:38
are rubber made trash cans just filled with
15:40
ice and beer. And I was like... Star
15:44
was born. Like I did not see it coming. I
15:49
was like, oh my gosh. And then I saw this girl that
15:51
I kind of liked in my class, and
15:53
she was super talented. And she played an amazing
15:55
voice. She played... An
15:58
entertainer. I can't remember. She
16:00
did have like a lead even as like a
16:02
sophomore. Oh, Parker? And no, no. And
16:04
I went, I saw her like just grab a beer, like
16:09
not even thinking about it, grab a beer, crack it, start drinking.
16:12
I was like completely
16:14
shocked, completely shocked. My
16:16
friends and I don't touch it, we're just like
16:18
having a good time, hanging out like, ah yeah,
16:20
this is like McD was there. Popping to YouTube.
16:22
Yeah, who just like. Who did McD play? He
16:26
played Lord Evil in Oakley. Of course
16:28
he did. And
16:30
we, and within 30 minutes, like,
16:33
cocks, like somebody like yells down the
16:36
stairs in the basement and
16:38
people just like start running out of the
16:40
house, we're like, oh, okay, oh. And
16:42
we start just following people. Kids are spooling out of
16:45
this house and running out over the yards and in
16:47
the grass or anything and then we're like trying to
16:49
like duck behind into another block and we run down
16:51
this block and it was me and like two or
16:53
three of my buddies and we just
16:55
like start walking and we're like, where the fuck are we
16:57
gonna go? Like we need a ride that we got driven
17:00
here by one of the seniors. So we're
17:02
gonna have to like loop around and as we're
17:04
like trying to loop around, it's like whoop, whoop
17:06
in front of us. And then the car, the
17:08
cop car stops, headlights in our eyes, can't see
17:10
anything, just see the silhouette of the figure, like
17:12
get out of the driver's side, flashlight on our
17:14
face, all right guys, stand over by the edge,
17:16
blah, blah, blah, walks over. So
17:18
what's going on, who's been drinking, blah, blah, blah, and like
17:21
looked at us and I mean, it took like no time
17:23
at all for him to realize that we were losing.
17:27
I hadn't touched a drop and he was just
17:29
like half laughing and was like, all right, let
17:31
me give you guys a warning, all right, blah,
17:34
blah, blah. So I did not get in any
17:36
trouble, didn't get a ticket. And the first thing
17:38
I did when I got home was woke up
17:40
my parents and was like, I'm so sorry, I
17:42
almost got arrested. Oh my God.
17:44
Wow, you're such a loser. You didn't even get in trouble,
17:47
you were afraid that the cop was gonna come back and
17:49
I just say, you know. I was afraid somebody in school
17:51
was gonna say that party got busted, was beer at the
17:53
party, would get back to my parents and then they'd fucking
17:56
crash my ass for not telling them there
17:58
was beer at the party. sweet because
18:00
cast parties in high school
18:03
musical or plays notorious for people
18:05
just getting fucked up
18:07
like waste it like the craziest
18:09
party you'll ever see is like a musical cast
18:11
party yeah I never knew at cast
18:13
parties like where why the crew was always
18:15
going outside into the woods and then never
18:20
gone I did not so
18:25
much fun yeah I was
18:27
I was the same way I was basically
18:30
like oh all those those football players like
18:32
they probably all go out and get wasted
18:34
everything's like but not these show these artists
18:37
they're all completely and I was just like
18:39
holy shit like all the seniors were just
18:41
getting trash like it was
18:43
a very eye-opening experience I used to host
18:46
the cast parties in high school my parents
18:48
were cool parents and they would be
18:50
like if you're gonna drink do it
18:52
here and that was their whole role Wow
18:54
the in my high school eventually
18:56
the the parents started hosting the cast
18:58
parties yeah the parents were also there they had like
19:01
the parents at a party yeah so then there was
19:03
like there was no there was no drinking oh I
19:05
thought they were cool parents I remember once
19:07
we're trying to figure out a place to host host
19:09
the cast party and look at Casa
19:12
I was like I could ask my mom and
19:14
they're like oh you think your mom like to do
19:17
is like no I can axe or kill her with
19:19
an axe the only way that you're looking for well
19:21
how many cast parties have you been to I was
19:23
gonna say I've never
19:28
been in theater and I'm also not
19:30
about to admit to any potential law
19:33
breaking on on the record mm-hmm
19:35
sure the statute of limitations well
19:38
I don't know if we're gonna break any
19:40
laws but stick around after this episode for
19:43
the episode 23 cast party that I'm really
19:45
excited oh my goodness instead we'll just take
19:47
a quick break this
19:55
show is sponsored by better help I've
19:57
been thinking a lot lately about how I
20:00
mean, it's already hard to
20:02
maintain relationships with people in the world,
20:05
not just with your significant other, but
20:07
with friends and your family,
20:09
especially as you move apart and then
20:11
especially as the pandemic separated us all
20:13
and we were very slow to kind
20:15
of come back together in person. It's
20:18
been hard for me with my friendships, you know,
20:20
you have to take active steps to make sure
20:22
you're working on them and keeping them healthy and
20:24
keeping them fresh. A common misconception
20:27
about relationships is that they have to be easy
20:29
to be right. But sometimes the best ones happen
20:31
when both people just put in the work to make them great. Therapy
20:34
can be a place to work through the
20:36
challenges you face in all your relationships, whether
20:38
with friends, your colleagues, your
20:40
significant other, anyone. Therapy
20:43
isn't just for people who have experienced major
20:45
trauma, it can be for
20:47
everyone. I always say this, but I'll
20:49
say it again. I think people should get
20:51
the help they need. Therapy can be helpful
20:53
for learning positive coping skills or how to
20:56
set boundaries, empowers you to be the best
20:58
version of yourself, all of which feeds
21:00
into serving those relationships and keeping them
21:02
healthy. If you're thinking of

com slash GCN. Let's
21:33
get this episode over with so we can get to that
21:35
cast party. You
21:38
guys are inside a, you know,
21:40
sort of a tree. Horrible nightmare.
21:42
Horrible nightmare tree in Nighthold.
21:44
What did you think Nighthold was going to be? Fun
21:47
day stuff? A resort. A resort?
21:49
Nighthold resort. At all-inclusive. Formerly Nighthold
21:52
resort, family fun. No,
21:54
you have entered this realm, the first world. You're
21:56
still not even quite sure what that means. It's
21:58
a world that is ever. changing,
22:01
mutable, constantly like protean in nature
22:03
kind of shaped by its inhabitants,
22:05
its most powerful inhabitants, while also
22:08
like kind of crossing over into
22:10
the material world as well. Everything
22:12
just sort of going back and
22:14
forth, overlapping and turning
22:16
in on itself. And when you get inside this
22:19
tree, or you don't even get inside, you get
22:21
up to the tree, you already fight a creature
22:23
that is kind of warping reality and playing upon
22:25
your fears. You go outside and
22:27
you fight these like childlike tooth
22:29
fairies, where it's like something taken from
22:31
the nightmares of children. And
22:34
then we end last week's episode with you walking
22:36
into a room where there's a female centaur,
22:38
something taken from the nightmares
22:40
of buggles. I was
22:43
saying, he's hiding in the
22:45
doorway because it's a
22:47
combination of like a horse, which we know he doesn't
22:50
like. And this woman would
22:53
possibly remind him of his mistress.
22:55
He used to like maltreat him
22:57
and everything. And so
22:59
it is like this weird kind of dream
23:02
nightmare combination of fears. Yeah, and talk
23:04
about a tutel, which you spoke of
23:06
back in episode one. This is a
23:08
large creature. She's huge
23:10
and resplendent in her charred,
23:13
scarred armor, wearing a bleached,
23:16
skinless head of a horse and
23:18
sort of a frightening helm, a
23:20
long flowing green cloak that covers
23:22
her horse parts.
23:25
And then if that wasn't enough,
23:27
there's a floating, muscled
23:29
circle full of blades in a
23:31
single eye. They needed to
23:33
add a sentry. I
23:36
don't know what's going on here.
23:38
This doesn't to me feel like
23:40
a winnable sort of combat situation,
23:42
a traditional combat situation with the
23:44
size and at least for the
23:46
artwork, the apparent martial skill of
23:49
this character. So I don't know if
23:51
this is like some fishies going on here. Well, obviously some
23:53
fish is going on, but if it's going
23:55
to be like not really resolve as a
23:57
weird about that muscle, the floating eye. You
24:00
want my theory? Oh, yeah? Yes, please. I think
24:02
the centaur is an illusion. Or a figment or
24:04
it doesn't really exist. I was
24:06
going to say because she also was like,
24:08
I've killed all the enemies of Kenepo
24:10
and they line the room, all these
24:12
skulls. And so it was like, OK,
24:15
so it's a level 37 centaur woman
24:17
who is
24:19
going to hit us level two players. Right. And
24:21
then also the basic concept, I think we talked
24:23
about this after we stopped this episode, it was
24:25
like the basic concept of your chosen by Kenepo
24:29
to see if you're worthy, blah, blah, blah. You
24:31
come here and just to kill you. I
24:33
mean, maybe this is a test.
24:36
Maybe if we get her down a
24:38
certain number of hit points, she's like,
24:40
oh, right. You're worthy. You can meet
24:42
Kenepo or something like that possibly. But
24:44
it's also a callback to that worthiness
24:46
thing that everyone kept mentioning. Which then
24:48
made me think, I wonder
24:52
if the three main people that we know
24:54
as missing are like came exactly
24:57
here and died in this
24:59
room. Or a burner or whatever. Burner?
25:03
Burner now? Or were we supposed to do something
25:05
in the first room to make ourselves worthy? Magpie
25:07
Mapleton or whatever her name was. It
25:10
was like, Patrick. Have
25:13
you ever had pebblesworth? Patrick Pebblesworth was
25:15
the woman that got. OK, wait, hold
25:17
on. We are saying it better now.
25:19
Joe is not the note-taking. She
25:24
was the one that her cart got
25:26
destroyed. And she was killed back on
25:28
the way between seven arches. I thought she
25:30
was missing. There's the woman whose family. Maybelline.
25:33
I believe that was what he was going
25:35
for, Magpie Maybelline. Magpie Maybelline. And then
25:37
there's Varna, the wooden septum piercing oak steward
25:40
that Malkia was looking for. And Henry Buckett.
25:42
Henry Buckett. That's what I mean. Yeah, Henry
25:44
Buckett. But the idea is that we started to
25:47
see that each
25:49
of these people seem to be being led
25:51
somewhere. And we feel
25:53
like maybe we're also being led somewhere with the sign
25:55
outside the door and the bird in the room and
25:57
everything. Is everybody being led
25:59
here? Are there skulls on this wall?
26:01
Or were they considered worthy? Probably.
26:04
Or are they the hunks of meat behind us? Exactly.
26:07
There are hunks of meat. There are
26:10
skulls all over the place.
26:12
She claims to be victims, enemies
26:15
of Kniepo. Then she
26:17
goes on about her former life, where
26:19
she would judge from the
26:22
shadows, learn all about her prey,
26:24
and learn everything she could before
26:26
finally taking their life and regrets
26:28
that she won't have time to
26:30
do that beforehand, but promises you
26:33
afterwards she'll take her time with
26:36
what's left, unless you're
26:38
worthy. Let's roll for initiative
26:40
and find out. All right, so yeah. Roll,
26:42
roll, roll, roll. Well, that's the other thing
26:44
that really bothers me. Oh, good. It's
26:47
like, is it a puzzle, right? Is
26:50
it like, oh, no, you have to prove
26:52
you're worthy beyond just fighting? I don't know.
26:55
It bothers me. This is going to
26:57
be an interesting test. Kate looks upset as
26:59
usual after she's rolled dice. Ah! Ah!
27:02
Ah! Ah! What
27:04
did you get after? 19
27:08
for after, not too shoddy. Zipper.
27:12
Do you adjust it when you do a natural one? You
27:15
do. You still get your bonus.
27:17
Five. Five, yes. Now, if you
27:19
had a minus to your initiative, you wouldn't have a
27:21
negative two, but you always add. So five, very nice.
27:24
Tip of the hat to your five.
27:27
For the remove. 12,
27:31
I mean, just terrible. There are feats you
27:33
can take. Stone cold terrible. There's no fee
27:35
you can take to make you roll above
27:37
a 10, though. That's true. That's just the
27:39
gods. Talitha. 15
27:43
for Talitha, right down Main Street. Bugle.
27:46
20 for Bugle. Oh! How
27:50
interesting that Bugle's rolls a
27:52
20 as he stands
27:54
cowering in the doorway. I didn't even think in the
27:56
moment because I was too busy embodying
27:58
Captain Salah. I could see that.
28:01
Yeah, I was really into it. Um... You
28:03
were in the zone. A rare new voice.
28:05
A little chewing. It was pretty... Yeah, it's
28:07
a new one. A rare new one. Yeah,
28:09
not from this well and this... Ehhhhh. Was
28:12
it imagining the hindquarters of a horse as you're
28:14
the lower half of your body that did it?
28:17
Just imagining the voice of a sick sadistic boy.
28:19
Was it the result of embodying the rear half
28:21
of a horse over your entire life? Hey now!
28:23
Hey! Hey! Hey! You know what, just for that,
28:25
you go first. Okay. You're standing terrified in the
28:27
doorway. What I was going to say is I
28:30
didn't even think about how like this is your worst
28:32
nightmare. Yeah. I'm actually going to give
28:34
myself the frightened one condition. So... Oh...
28:36
Because it's... Okay, you have done this
28:38
in the past? Anytime there's a horse.
28:41
Yeah. And especially now, I mean, I think it's...
28:43
Well yeah, I thought of the worst... I didn't
28:46
think of the mistress... Is
28:48
the mistress being like combined with
28:50
a horse in the image of
28:52
this woman? That's... Yeah. That's terrifying.
28:54
Eeee, okay. Okay. So... Oh,
28:56
I like his little frightened condition. Yeah. That's
28:59
wrong. So he's almost...
29:02
Like... Wedding himself as he
29:04
like comes into the room to... Like
29:07
he forces himself to come into the room so
29:09
he can get a full view of
29:12
this thing. And he's like...
29:14
Aaaaah! And he lifts his
29:16
little finger and... Phew!
29:18
Ray of frost. Ray...
29:20
Or frostbite. Frostbite. Frostbite.
29:24
That is a 21 to hit. 21
29:26
is a hit. Okay.
29:30
Okay. Oh man. Even
29:34
the slightest delay on that gave me heartburn. That
29:38
is six points of cold damage. Six
29:41
points of cold
29:43
damage. Very good. Was that
29:45
your final action? Yeah,
29:47
because I had to move and then that was two
29:49
actions. Very well. Moving right along
29:51
it is... Oh wait. What
29:53
am I thinking? As
29:56
you step into the room and stand there and
29:58
face down this horrible thing, the muster
30:00
of the courage to fire a spell
30:02
at your greatest fear. But
30:05
at the same moment, that creepy little cord
30:08
of muscle and blades, the
30:11
eye turns on you and you
30:13
feel, not only it's gaze, but
30:15
you start to feel its blades
30:17
all around you cutting into your
30:20
skin. Give me a will save. Oh
30:22
no. Ew! Alright,
30:25
that's not too bad. That
30:27
is a will save? That's
30:29
a 20. 20,
30:32
okay. So you feel these things kind
30:34
of creeping into your body, making you
30:36
feel even more frightened than you already
30:38
are, but you're able to like stand
30:40
firm and push down those fears. It
30:43
is Asa's turn. If
30:45
I move and jump over the table, is
30:48
it, do I need to do any checks or anything
30:50
or can I just kind of hop on the table and hop off? Um.
30:54
If I have like an extra five feet to go up
30:56
the table. I would say that you can just go up
30:58
and over. It's not like a, uh, there's a centaur sized
31:00
table. It's a table meant for all of you. Let's not
31:02
hold you over the calls for this here. Alright, so Asa is
31:05
going to move, first
31:07
action. Second
31:09
action, I'm going to use one of
31:11
my focus spells, Force Fang.
31:14
Force Fang? Yeah. I briefly
31:16
turned my attack into pure force to bypass
31:18
my opponent's defenses. I'm going to attack the
31:20
little ball. Little blade
31:22
ball. Attack the blade ball. Alright,
31:25
so you just come down. I like to imagine that
31:27
you're like using the energy from
31:29
hopping off the table to slice into
31:32
it. It's cool. It's like basically
31:34
my katana becomes a spike of pure force. It
31:36
just like magically changes. Amazing. So
31:38
let me. That wouldn't have been good against
31:40
the swarm. The Force Fang automatically deals 1d4
31:42
plus one. I don't even think I need to
31:45
make an attack. Force
31:47
Fang? Potentially. Okay. Is
31:49
there anything you're not... It's a spell,
31:51
obviously. Force Fang automatically deals, targets one
31:53
creature. To force, to bypass your opponent's
31:55
defenses, choose a target within your reach
31:57
or within reach of a melee weapon.
32:00
If you can use Spell Strike with a ranged
32:02
weapon, you can target a creature in your first
32:04
range increment, for instance. You transform your weapon around
32:06
in time to a spike of pure fuel force,
32:08
replacing all its normal statistics and abilities. The
32:12
Force Fang automatically... ...deals
32:14
1d4 plus 1 Force Fangs to
32:16
a target. That
32:19
is... I... I don't
32:21
believe you. I don't know. I'm trying
32:24
to see. You briefly turned your... Yeah, I mean,
32:26
it is a Focus Spell, which is a limited
32:28
resource. It's not something you can spam. It also
32:30
decreases your Dermot. Yeah, it's basically like a... What
32:34
you would call it, a magic missile from your fist.
32:36
Yeah. Yeah. You gotta go with this. Yeah, alright, great.
32:38
You sacrifice the damage. Yeah.
32:41
No, you can Spell Strike with it. I can
32:43
Spell Strike, but I'm not going to just
32:45
for action economy. I move. This only costs
32:47
one action. And then for my next
32:49
action, you'll see what I do. Alright,
32:52
so... Let's see, 1d4, it's
32:54
also not a ton of damage. Okay.
32:56
Max damage, though. Five points of damage. Five
32:59
points of force damage... Buffets,
33:02
this little gross fear.
33:05
Okay. And then with my final action,
33:07
I go into my Arcane Cascade, because
33:09
if I use one of my spells or I cast a
33:11
spell, I can do that. So, one more action. I
33:14
move my foot back, and now I'm in my Arcane
33:16
Cascade. Okay. Alright,
33:18
so that's the end
33:20
of my turn. Okay. You, standing right
33:22
next to the thing, start to feel the same
33:25
strangeness of its blades against your skin.
33:27
If not unlike what Bugle's felt, even
33:29
though it is not physically touching you,
33:32
give me a will save. I
33:35
don't like that it can do it multiple times. What?
33:37
It can just do it to anybody over and over
33:39
and over again? Just an aura situation? 15,
33:43
you are frightened one by
33:45
this unsettling feeling. Yeah, maybe
33:48
it's an aura then, I don't know. Sharp blades
33:50
just pressing against your skin, even
33:52
though nothing is touching you. It
33:54
gives you the frightened condition. Okay.
33:57
Frightened Uno. It is now kept in
33:59
the cell. Last turn and
34:01
you are right there.
34:05
However, I am considering
34:08
doing... You wouldn't hit
34:10
a girl, would you? She's a girl. Pulling
34:16
out on the stop. As
34:18
if that looked quietly. You wouldn't hit another
34:21
lady, would you? Hearing the way Troy tells
34:23
it, he's had dozens of encounters with the
34:25
police. He's a very unsavory character. You
34:27
don't know what he'll do. I'm the bad boy of
34:29
the bunch. I've just done a
34:31
lot of dumb peeing on the street. Sometimes
34:35
you gotta go. Alright,
34:37
here's what happens. I
34:39
am going to... Do you have an Attack of Opportunity?
34:42
No. Okay. She
34:44
kind of disengages from you and
34:49
runs, like starts... Like I said, her
34:51
hooves her up and she comes down
34:53
to the ground and starts galloping and
34:55
gallops through buggles, Brother Rameus, Zephyr and
34:57
Talitha, ending up on the other side
35:00
of Talitha, everybody roll a reflex. So
35:02
she destroys the table. She destroys that
35:04
edge of the table there and tramples
35:06
all. Like she runs around a path
35:08
like around the table. She runs... She
35:11
runs very consciously only to throw the
35:13
little bit. No, she just
35:15
ran through the top portion there. But
35:17
yeah, she strides up to double
35:20
its speed, moving through the spaces of
35:22
creatures of a listed size, trampling you.
35:25
So give me a reflex there. I
35:28
hate this! I
35:34
mean, there's nothing that can be done. There's
35:37
nothing that can be done when you are me. You
35:39
did good. You did
35:41
bad. But you roll. I fumbled,
35:44
most likely. What was the
35:46
actual result? I'm trying to consider tapping
35:48
it. Mat, yo! Okay. Okay.
35:55
God! What
36:00
did you not take? I'll just take
36:02
it. It's 9. 9, okay. And what
36:04
did you get? 22.
36:06
22. And Zeph? 21. 21. And... buckles.
36:12
I have a question. Yes. Is
36:14
a natural one bad? Oh!
36:18
Yes. You have
36:20
a bottle cap, don't you? I do. I think I'm
36:22
going to exchange a bottle cap. So
36:24
that I might re-roll. That is a good
36:27
use. I'll use... I've
36:30
said cap. 16.
36:32
16. Okay. Fail,
36:35
not critical. Pass. Pass.
36:41
Fail, not critical. It was right on the
36:43
line! It was right on the
36:45
line! So, you guys are going to take half
36:47
damage. You two are going to take full.
36:49
You two being buggles. And
36:52
brother Rameus. Okay.
36:56
It is going to be 9
36:58
points of damage to
37:00
buggles and Rameus 4 points
37:02
of damage to... Ah, damn. the
37:06
others. Zephyr and Talitha. And,
37:08
you know, badass move
37:10
to be able to do that. But that took all
37:12
3 of my actions. So, now it is as
37:16
I've listed in the initiative gross
37:18
blade balls turn. Gross blade ball.
37:22
Gross blade ball. Old
37:24
gross blade ball is just standing right
37:26
next to a little wolf lady.
37:32
Old gross blade ball. Blade
37:34
ball is my father's. Please,
37:36
old. So
37:38
you see it first of all start to glow. Like
37:41
little pieces that you cut away from it start kind
37:43
of like re-stitching itself on the ball. And
37:46
then it is Oh man, so
37:48
many fun things to do here. Let's do... Alright,
37:52
what it's going to do is to
38:00
fly through you and
38:03
as it does like cut
38:06
at your skin so it like flies through
38:08
you and I need a
38:11
reflex save and just like it basically like
38:13
a spinning blade tries
38:15
to whir and slice through you.
38:17
Oh boy. That's going
38:20
to be 15. 15
38:22
is a fail so a couple things are
38:24
going to happen. First thing
38:27
is you're going to take 3 points of
38:29
slashing damage and then you're also bleeding. You
38:35
will take 1d4 bleed at the
38:37
end of your turn but you know maybe you'll
38:39
flat check away from it and you'll live forever.
38:43
That was its first action and
38:45
then that was two
38:47
actions actually and then for its third action
38:49
because you're right there I'm going
38:51
to cast a spell with a range
38:54
of touch which only cost me one
38:56
action. A ball? Yup. Go
38:59
ahead and give me a basic fortitude
39:01
save. So brutal. Oh
39:03
no. No you didn't. Okay.
39:09
11 okay that is just a fail so you
39:11
will take 7 points of
39:13
negative damage. Oh my
39:15
god. Ow. So
39:17
you're like bleeding it cuts its way
39:20
through you cuts your skin over you
39:22
see your white fur like blood
39:24
go across the wall and spread down your
39:26
fur. What's the bleed number? 1d4.
39:30
And then it like touches you it like
39:32
leans its body against you one of its
39:35
muscly cord touches you and harms you for
39:37
7 points of negative damage. I
39:39
hate this thing. And now it
39:41
is Talitha's turn. Talitha you are
39:43
standing directly in front of this
39:45
monstrous horrible centaur.
39:47
Have we ever fought a centaur on
39:50
here? This is a first. It's a
39:52
dual hand with a dual hand centaur
39:54
like but this is the first real
39:57
centaur. I don't believe I think it's
39:59
the first. Alright, we have a couple of items
40:01
of business. Okay, please. Item
40:03
number one. I texted him at Deeds,
40:05
but I found out he played Lord Evil and Locally.
40:07
Oh my God! His response was,
40:09
I totally did. That was a very fun part to
40:12
play. He's
40:15
right up his alley. I
40:18
wish I could see photos. I know, me too.
40:20
You have photos? You have kinds of photos? Nope.
40:23
Moving along. Now I'm going to text
40:25
Mr. O'Brien. Mr. O'Brien. You
40:29
know your son almost got arrested. You should see me.
40:32
I'm in a suit with a fedora
40:34
on, running up to the ship to
40:37
ask Hope Harcourt and whatever. Reno Sweeney.
40:40
Reno Sweeney questions, because
40:42
they're famous. And I look like I am
40:44
11 years old. I
40:47
look like an 11 year old. No questions.
40:49
My voice had not even changed. That's
40:52
crazy. I did not
40:55
specify during the healing that happened at the
40:57
end of last episode that I was
40:59
holding my rapier now. Would it be fair to say
41:02
that I had my rapier out when we left and
41:04
entered this scary room? Absolutely. With the
41:06
exception of Zebra, who we talked about last week, like
41:08
you're not quite sure if the bow is in or
41:10
out, and you actually explicitly said bow is stowed, you're
41:12
always going to have your rapier out. You're not going
41:14
to waste an action to draw it. Okay, good. I
41:17
will devise a strategy. Okay. Should
41:19
I attack this thing? And not take the
41:21
attack. Oh no!
41:23
Natural three. Come, come. Instead,
41:26
I will then take my free
41:28
recall knowledge. Okay. What
41:30
would you like me to roll? Arcanas. This
41:32
is going to be arcana or nature.
41:34
Or an apical board. Natural 20. Oh!
41:38
There we go. It is an
41:40
illusion. All
41:42
right, so Captain Salah. Ha
41:45
ha ha ha. All
41:47
right, so you know that centaurs are
41:50
their hunters and trackers. And it appears
41:52
that she was hunting and tracking prey,
41:54
like some sort of serial killer. So
41:58
this is the type of company, can be bought. keeps
42:00
just cold heartless killers in terms of
42:02
her ability she has a shield so
42:04
she can always use that reaction to
42:06
shield block which will boost her AC
42:09
you already have seen trample come out
42:11
beyond that you don't feel like you
42:14
know centaurs have the ability to
42:17
cast spells you don't feel like she
42:19
may be able to cast spells how
42:22
with opportunity yeah you
42:24
don't think they have attack of opportunities she
42:27
looks just like a warrior that is going to
42:29
use physical attacks against you that
42:31
deal pretty significant damage is there any
42:33
kind of bond with her and the
42:36
old label nothing in your memory connects
42:38
the two of them so this seems
42:40
to be a union forged
42:42
out of necessity or something
42:45
story related that you wouldn't
42:47
know okay all right and
42:49
sometimes always are accompanied by
42:51
a muscle blade ball you
42:55
don't remember reading this okay all
42:57
right Talitha is going to get
42:59
out of this space especially
43:02
since now we know that doesn't have a tank of opportunity
43:04
okay so she
43:06
will double move up to the north of the room
43:08
to kind of give
43:10
us another angle here yeah
43:12
and she goes up towards
43:15
the hallway that leads to the north maybe
43:17
one more square to give us a little bit of
43:19
an angle spread us out from
43:21
another stop another one of those tramples from happening
43:24
I share all that information with the party
43:26
and that is my turn okay and not
43:28
unlike buggles and after you to feel the
43:31
eye and blade of this thing on you
43:33
like it's all around you even though it's
43:35
20 feet away give me a will save
43:41
90 17 for a 24 you're all
43:43
right you were able to fight
43:46
against its fear effect it is brother rameous
43:48
this term brother rameous you're 20 feet away
43:50
from this thing buggles is behind you to
43:52
your left and Zephyr is standing straight in
43:54
front of him what do you do yeah
43:57
I just don't there's just like way
44:00
to avoid this trample thing because
44:02
you can just run right through. So he
44:04
is going to...
44:08
Oh man. He's
44:12
going to also move up to the north. Sorry, I didn't need to
44:14
move around Buggles.
44:18
I wanted to get up to
44:22
here behind Asta. And then he is going
44:24
to... Yeah, he can do that. And then
44:26
he will... Did anybody
44:29
recall knowledge on the muscle ball? No. He will...
44:37
He'll recall
44:39
knowledge on the muscle ball. Okay. That is going to be religion.
44:41
Do you have a
44:43
good religion? Or any other
44:45
applicable lore? Yeah,
44:48
yeah, sorry, sorry. Knowledge blade ball. I was
44:50
totally... If my mind was... He's knowledge sonic the headshot.
44:52
Yes, religion on
44:57
the ball. Yeah, religion on the ball.
44:59
Sort of like undead creatures? What's this thing? Like
45:01
a... Now the leaf. It's been formed by the flesh of the
45:04
other... Oh yeah. The weapons of
45:08
the fall. Maybe, yeah. Alright, that is a
45:10
24. Also the derm... Sermon. Epiderm. Epiderm. Alright,
45:15
24. It's pretty good.
45:18
I can tell you this is a creature known
45:20
as an augur. It tells
45:23
her what is good and what isn't to
45:26
do. It is specifically known as a Velstruck
45:28
augur. It is something that
45:30
is native to the shadow plane. Just
45:33
knots of sinewy muscle and blades
45:35
and bloody metal. But
45:38
yeah, just like the spell auguried
45:40
has that... That's like what its
45:42
power is. The augury
45:44
goes back to original D&D, right? Yeah,
45:46
that's one of the spells of
45:49
magic user spells from... I think it was magic
45:51
user spells back in the original Player's Handbook. Was
45:53
it wheel and woe back then or is that
45:55
a Pathfinder? I can't remember. Yeah. Because the way
45:57
it lives in First Edition and Second Edition. I don't think I'm...
46:00
is wheel and woe. I think. Good
46:02
question. You would, you would like,
46:04
you look into the future and you would either
46:06
know that the question you're asking would lead to
46:09
a wheel or woe. Yeah. Same
46:11
exact thing with this. That's kind of its jam.
46:13
So you know it can cast spells like
46:16
that but you've also seen it
46:18
cast a harmful spell against Asta.
46:22
That thing that's hurting everyone is an
46:24
aura that takes effect at the end
46:26
of your turn if you're still standing
46:29
within its range
46:31
which extends pretty much the
46:33
whole. If you get on the outskirts
46:35
of the room you might be able to get away from it but it's pretty
46:38
big. And
46:41
that's all I'm going to tell you.
46:44
Okay and then he's going to do
46:47
battle medicine on Asta. Oh thank you.
46:49
An attempt to patch her
46:51
up. I
46:54
can't remember if
46:56
that stops the bleeding. I can't
46:59
remember. But we're going to attempt it
47:01
here. I could just straight up fail. I mean sucks.
47:03
No I don't. I succeed
47:06
on a battle medicine for
47:08
Asta and
47:10
you get nine hit points back.
47:12
Nice. Very helpful.
47:14
Thank you. Okay. Alright so
47:16
let's find out if that does. There's
47:18
no way to find out. It's, I
47:20
mean unless I'm going to start reading
47:22
boards. There's a medicine check. Well yeah
47:24
medicine checks can stop. Oh that's right.
47:26
Yeah. Right. Alright so I'll
47:28
just do that instead. First aid. Yes that is it.
47:31
And oh no it's two actions. Well
47:34
why don't you heal me and then do it on the next turn? Because
47:37
I could still use those hit boards. You could also just
47:39
save on it. You could get the flat set. Preserving
47:41
action. Yeah so I don't have the actions.
47:44
I moved, I did the recall knowledge. I
47:46
only have one action left so I'll battle
47:48
medicine for now. Thank you. That's
47:50
still very helpful. Yeah but you're still bleeding.
47:52
Yeah. Alright cool. Great. Go
47:55
ahead and give me a will save as you try to.
47:57
Come on Ramius. It's the one thing you're supposed to be
47:59
really. Reasonably good end off the fear
48:02
21 21 you're all right all right
48:05
For the rabies ramies ending around
48:07
as always do not tell you
48:11
You know what it is kind of like always For
48:15
the bolus as they call you so I
48:17
did say that I put my bow away Or I
48:20
didn't have it out when I was
48:22
walking into this room, and you're standing 15 feet
48:24
away from this Yeah, sure with no
48:26
one between you so I Don't
48:29
like this ball. I don't think anyone does and I want
48:31
to try to take that over So
48:34
I'm gonna take out my bow Go into
48:37
my nastic Archer stance and try to fill
48:39
a real blows it within my volley I
48:42
still feel like it's worth it to try to hit it because then
48:44
I could also try to stun it Maybe
48:48
if it's not you know you into mental or
48:50
enough If it's
48:52
not higher level right oh right right and
48:55
capacity okay, all right, so it's gonna be
48:57
a plus six That's the 20 to hit on the
48:59
first one yep, right all right buddy get
49:01
it get all the second one And then
49:03
do the damage to the second one Is
49:08
a natural seven? I don't think that hits like
49:10
a? Nine or ten that's
49:12
a mess all right, so now just roll your
49:14
damage. Well my damage is Three
49:18
three damage all right, and then you do
49:20
a three total. Oh you
49:22
miss the second. Yeah you
49:24
do a Fortitude
49:27
right yes, all right so first action
49:29
you pulled out the bow second action flurry of bows
49:32
Okay, sorry both for those so you're not in
49:34
your Archer stance where you got into that with
49:36
that Wait
49:39
I Did not
49:41
yeah, you're right. I can't do flurry of flows Oh
49:44
what I was going to do is take it out and Just
49:47
do one hit so that I had it out and then
49:49
my next turn I could get into it Okay, so you're
49:51
not near monastic. I'm not in my stance We
49:54
say the first one just hits it's a regular and it's not
49:56
going to trigger any stunning fifth.
49:59
Okay that only happens Why can't you
50:01
do it first? Why can't you do this thing? Two
50:03
actions. And then I
50:05
don't get the hit. And I figured hitting was more useful
50:07
than not. Okay. Now, so then
50:09
you still have an action, don't you? Yeah.
50:12
Nope. Took out... Fired
50:14
once. Oh yeah, you can
50:16
fire again, I guess. Wait, wait, wait, wait. She
50:19
drew the bow. Drew the bow. Fired once. No, no,
50:21
that's what I meant to do. I took... I
50:23
drew the bow. I entered Manastik Archer's fan.
50:26
That's three actions. That's one
50:28
action. You said Manastik was two. I lied. Yeah,
50:31
no, it's one action. You all confused me when
50:33
you questioned me the first time. You never said
50:35
Manastik Archer's fan, so right? I did. Okay,
50:38
all right. So that's first action, pull it
50:40
out, second Manastik, third puller blows, second hit
50:42
misses, first one hits, hour of 42. Now
50:45
you do, yes. Okay. Yeah,
50:47
crushed it. 22. Ooh.
50:51
Class DC, class
50:53
DC. That's a success. Yeah,
50:57
I don't think there's a... even
50:59
if it's not critical, I don't think there's like a half John
51:02
on that, so it'd be around 18. Okay.
51:04
Let me know if it's not... I
51:06
believe you. As we move into round
51:09
two, right after this quick word from
51:11
our John. Of
51:19
course, we are sponsored by the incredible
51:21
Z-Biotics, an absolutely phenomenal pre-alcohol probiotic that
51:23
is a game changer for me when
51:25
it comes to having a few drinks
51:28
at night and then waking up feeling
51:30
fresh and ready to rock the next
51:32
day. Z-Biotics pre-alcohol probiotic
51:34
drink is the world's first
51:36
genetically engineered probiotic. It was
51:38
invented by PhD scientists to
51:40
tackle rough mornings after drinking.
51:43
Here's how it works. When
51:46
you drink, alcohol gets converted into
51:48
a toxic byproduct in the
51:50
gut. It's this byproduct, not dehydration,
51:52
that's to blame for your rough
51:55
next day. Z-Biotics pre-alcohol
51:57
probiotic produces an enzyme to break
51:59
this. byproduct down. Just remember to
52:01
make Z-biotics pre-alcohol your first drink
52:03
of the night, drink responsibly,
52:06
and you'll feel your best
52:08
tomorrow. Between Matthew and Troy
52:10
and I, the awesomeness of
52:12
Z-biotics comes up over and
52:14
over again where it's
52:17
become part of our routine. I will clearly come
52:19
into the studio dragging a little bit from the
52:21
night before and Matthew will be like, did you
52:23
take your Z-biotics? And I'll be like, no, I
52:25
left it at home, I was at
52:27
my sister's and we had a couple drinks, blah blah
52:29
blah, and Matthew will give me that disapproving look that
52:31
he's so famous for that just says, I told
52:34
you so. And it just, I
52:36
mean it cracks me up even saying this because it's 100% true, but
52:38
it makes
52:40
it sound like Matthew and I are living in
52:42
a commercial, which I guess we are. But that

53:28
Thanks John. Top
53:31
of round two, it is Bugle's turn.
53:33
Bugle's, this thing has just like trampled
53:36
you and all your friends. Asta is
53:38
toe to toe with this vicious blade
53:40
thing. You're about 25 feet
53:42
away from the centaur with Zephyr
53:44
right in front of you who
53:46
focused her fire on the blade
53:49
on the auger. What do you
53:51
do? Okay, so yeah, Bugle's teeth
53:53
are audibly chattering just from the
53:55
sphere, but when he
53:57
shoots this frostbite, which is actually a
54:00
If not, Raphross is an attack role,
54:02
it's actually a basic role save. Or
54:04
a basic save. Whatever. Um,
54:07
but the moment he, like, fires this off, um,
54:09
his eyes, like, flash, like, red again.
54:13
And you hear this voice, and
54:16
it's not in common, but it's like it's
54:19
subtitles. It's just like, it's
54:21
your fear sickens me. This
54:24
is the hour for Kollacan! And
54:27
he rushes right at the
54:29
centaur. Whaaaaat? And your fear
54:32
sickens me. This is cuck!
54:35
And his fist, his little fist, like, turns into
54:37
a fireball. And he snaps,
54:39
like, as he swings. What
54:42
is going on? Uh, that's a 21 to hit.
54:45
21 hits. Uh,
54:49
that is 11 points of
54:51
damage. Holy! Let's go! Alright,
54:54
boom! Couple things are gonna happen. First,
54:56
Bugles comes up and lays down. What's
54:58
your weapon again that you're using? I'm
55:00
just, I'm using Ignite. I
55:02
do Ignition as a melee attack with an
55:05
Arrange attack. I rolled a, and it's amped.
55:07
So it's a D12 instead of a D10.
55:10
Okay, and you moved up right next to it? You
55:12
moved up right next to it? Yeah. Okay, let me
55:14
just slide you up there. Alright, so you slide up,
55:16
you hit it, you do 11 points of damage. As
55:19
you hit it, that green
55:21
cloak that's on her back begins
55:23
to, like, animate. And
55:25
lashes out at you. You know, I was gonna
55:28
say, because it looks like a Venus flytrap. Oh!
55:31
The layers of it looks like a
55:33
giant, like, laid out Venus flytrap. You're
55:36
absolutely right. Uh, so as these, like,
55:39
leaves of snapping jaws and thorns come out for you,
55:41
give me a reflex save. Oh wow, I didn't notice
55:43
that at all. And
55:45
I was gonna say, the minute,
55:47
like, he changes and the other
55:49
entity takes over, he loses the Frightened Condition. Okay,
55:52
great. The
55:54
self-imposed. Natural 20. Oh! Huge!
55:58
My God. Dude, my business is in there.
56:00
in the pocket right now. It
56:02
goes to snap at you, but it snaps over your
56:04
head where you're so small. And you
56:06
said that was 11 points of damage. Yeah. Something
56:09
I forgot to do before
56:11
the break. Kate, give me a will save
56:13
against the fear effect of the blades. Oh,
56:16
okay. No problem. Okay. Oh,
56:20
that's a 16. You're frightened
56:23
one. Okay. All right.
56:25
Buggles, is that your whole action? Yep.
56:28
Okay, my heart. Just jumps in there, lays out
56:30
11 points of damage, but now
56:32
Buggles is toe to toe with this
56:34
thing. Buggles, give
56:36
me a will save. That
56:41
is a 19. 19, you're
56:43
all right. You're all right. Just
56:45
making sure you can't become immune to it,
56:47
okay? Great. Moving right
56:49
along, it is Asta's turn. Asta, you are
56:51
just gushing blood. It's staining your beautiful white
56:54
fur. So do
56:56
I make the check now? End your
56:58
turn. I'll just take the bleed
57:00
damage, then you'll roll the flat. Cool. Awesome.
57:03
So I am going to spell
57:05
strike. That's right.
57:07
And I'm gonna kill. I'm calling my
57:09
shot, I'm gonna kill this little ball. Wow. Wow.
57:12
Taking them from show. All right. So
57:17
going to melee attack with my
57:19
katana first. And you
57:21
see this crackling electricity, like in her
57:23
tail, that travels like through
57:25
her body into her hands and into
57:28
the katana as she makes this attack.
57:31
That's definitely gonna hit. That's a 23. 23
57:36
is a hit. All
57:38
right, come on. That's
57:41
a minnow. No. Okay,
57:44
that's five points of damage. And
57:47
then the spell, I'm casting
57:49
a level one shopping grasp.
57:52
That's gonna be, yeah. This isn't
57:55
cantrip. This is. We're not in
57:57
cantrip anymore. Ha ha ha ha ha. Kill
57:59
her! Pretty good pretty good.
58:01
It was great until the point. Yeah
58:07
The audio listeners they're loving it Awesome
58:10
very good. There's a bit pause there. Okay,
58:12
so that's gonna be oh
58:14
and because I'm in my stance I get a
58:16
plus one to my damage. So oh nice. What
58:18
did I say for the katana? Sorry? Well,
58:20
it's just another point. So it's six six for the
58:23
katana and then that's gonna be A
58:27
18 plus one circumstance. Oh, oh, okay. If
58:29
the target is wearing metal or is made
58:31
of metal I lost one to
58:34
my attack. So that's fine. You already got that But
58:36
you also take 1d4 persistent
58:38
electricity damage on my head. Wait, how
58:40
much electricity did he take 18 points? What was
58:42
the hit or is there no to hit the
58:44
katana hit and so yeah, yes doing damage. Yeah.
58:46
Okay So 18 points
58:49
six flashing 18 electricity 18 electricity
58:52
I'm one. So you destroy It's
58:57
very very strange like you hit it right and it's
58:59
just like so funny that it's a ball You
59:02
hit the ball and it just like boom
59:05
and it hits the floor and it's just
59:07
sitting there in like one Solid piece on
59:09
the ground like you like it was a
59:11
weight to hit the ground and
59:14
it just seems like inert And
59:20
Do you still have actions? Yeah,
59:22
one more action you better not this is ridiculous. I do
59:24
have one more character is too powerful So
59:26
it's the electricity it also would take I
59:28
know it had the regeneration so it would
59:30
take Persistent is it gonna
59:33
come back? Well, you did see
59:35
it sort of stitch back if it did have
59:37
some sort of regenerative property You need to find
59:39
out what can bypass that regeneration to end it
59:41
the electricity will kind of keep it at bay
59:43
Cuz we'll keep taking that damage Like
59:46
and didn't you roll successful knowledge check on this thing? Did
59:48
you roll? Well to I rolled a 24 We
59:52
never we didn't know what I gave you a line Well,
59:54
just so you know, it does have the one I mean
59:56
you gave me a lot of lore, right?
1:00:00
Maybe some more. But did you give
1:00:02
me any useful mechanical information about it?
1:00:04
None. Here's
1:00:06
what I'll tell you. If it does have
1:00:08
some sort of regeneration, and it does, you
1:00:11
are the only one that can stop it. Shunk,
1:00:14
gunk, gunk. Well, it has the persistent electricity,
1:00:16
so it can keep it from getting its
1:00:18
gas. That persistence is going to help. But
1:00:21
you know, I think by the rules I'll still roll
1:00:23
flat checks against it to
1:00:25
see if it stops that persistent damage. However,
1:00:28
if it does have regeneration, only the things that will
1:00:30
bypass it, which are what you can do, your sort
1:00:33
of divine spells.
1:00:36
What is it? It could come back. Is it
1:00:39
good? It's good. Yeah. I don't know if I
1:00:41
have that. Yeah, but we're not really doing it
1:00:43
with alignment. You just need something holy. Yeah,
1:00:45
okay. All right. So then... Or silver. But
1:00:47
I don't think anybody has any silver weapons.
1:00:50
What about positive? No.
1:00:52
No. That's different. So
1:00:55
with my final action then, I'm gonna run and
1:00:59
flank with Buggles on
1:01:01
Big Horse Lady. Run flank with
1:01:03
Buggles on Big Horse Lady. Well, it's
1:01:06
Big Horse Lady's turn. That's Mrs. Big
1:01:08
Horse Lady to you. And
1:01:11
she is going to raise
1:01:15
her half a body up, and
1:01:17
it's gonna come down on Buggles.
1:01:21
First attack against Buggles. Miss
1:01:23
with a 13. Wow! All
1:01:26
right, second attack does the same thing. And turn...
1:01:28
Or do I want to swing a sword? No.
1:01:30
More damage with the hooves. Boom!
1:01:33
Tried to punch you with a hoof.
1:01:35
Asta. Natural 20. Oh! Norse
1:01:40
Foundry. No, I'm not. Norse
1:01:46
Foundry 20 named character. Oh!
1:01:49
Before we go, before we get into it.
1:01:52
I'm gonna play by the rules. I'm gonna be a
1:01:54
rules boy. I never made my flat check for
1:01:56
my bleed damage. Yes. So let's take the
1:01:58
bleed damage first, which is... one only one
1:02:01
oh that's good now give a flat check
1:02:04
ready there's
1:02:07
double eating okay just wanted to be a
1:02:09

1:02:57
spot cutting deep in the tendon your
1:02:59

1:03:01
penalty until they receive magical
1:03:03
healing and arm unable
1:03:06
to manipulate with the appendage drop
1:03:08
anything being held a
1:03:10
leg unable to step reduce speed
1:03:12
by 10 I
1:03:15
also have two tails just want to say
1:03:17
about head the capitated
1:03:19
permanently death while I have act
1:03:22
that you're only getting half damage
1:03:24
on a base D10 plus oh
1:03:27
that is very very good so we'll
1:03:29
do the damage first nine points of
1:03:32
blood damage just get punched by a
1:03:34
fucking horse and
1:03:36
then what do I roll a D6 or deep
1:03:38
no no you choose I say you should
1:03:40
also choose I do have two tails they
1:03:42
are appendages tails are appendages I have two
1:03:45
arms not listed in the two tails
1:03:47
I choose okay
1:03:49
but wait I have to which arm the one
1:03:52
with the way off hand tended
1:03:55
to spot it and you drop my
1:03:57
kind of I could see it too just like a
1:04:00
And you're like, ahh! And then the spasm.
1:04:02
And literally, yeah, the muscle just like, let's go. It's
1:04:04
just loose. It's gone. To tink, tink,
1:04:06
tink, the katana hits the
1:04:08
ground. Third action, Ray Shield.
1:04:12
She is hunkering down at her. Well you
1:04:15
flanked her, so that effectively just neutralizes that.
1:04:17
It doesn't give her a higher AC than
1:04:19
she had before she was flanked. Yeah, that's
1:04:21
true. Okay. Okay. Alright,
1:04:23
so here's what's gonna happen. And so this is why
1:04:26
I told you more about the regeneration. You do see
1:04:28
the blade ball come back to life momentarily. But then
1:04:30
it's going to take... One d4 persistence.
1:04:32
One d4... Hold on. Does
1:04:35
it come back to life and then get
1:04:37
a turn? Does the damage
1:04:39
come at the end of its turn? Oh, you know
1:04:41
what? Because you... Well no, you killed
1:04:43
it. So it's basically the regeneration acts at the big start of
1:04:45
its turn. So it gets some... Whatever, how
1:04:47
many hit points it gets, that's enough to bring it awake.
1:04:50
Yeah. So it's awake. Is
1:04:52
that an action? No. So then it would get
1:04:54
its full turn before the... It takes
1:04:56
the persistence. That's right. Is it
1:04:58
a reaction? Is it a reaction? Let me see. I
1:05:01
would have kicked this thing into another room. I would have
1:05:03
just... It's not an action. It's
1:05:13
not super important. Alright, so it comes back
1:05:15
to life. Oh god. You know what's crazy?
1:05:18
It's gonna get its whole turn. And then
1:05:20
unless I roll minimum damage on the electricity,
1:05:22
it's gonna just go down again. Just giving
1:05:24
it a whole extra turn is amazing. Alright,
1:05:27
so it's... It's unbelievably amazing. It's
1:05:29
phenomenal. It's back. It's cheating. And
1:05:31
Brother Rameus is standing right there.
1:05:34
And so it's going to first
1:05:36
action focus its gaze on Brother
1:05:38
Rameus and you'll have to immediately
1:05:40
save against its Feel
1:05:42
the Blade thing. So that was an action. That's
1:05:44
a will save, yeah. Okay.
1:05:47
Fail. That's
1:05:49
like the 15th floor I've seen you roll. Yeah.
1:05:52
Die as ice. Fail. You
1:05:55
are a frightened one. It was a 14. So
1:05:57
frightened one. I mean that just... really
1:06:00
hurts. That really hurts. A guy
1:06:02
who already stinks. Now
1:06:06
Frightened goes down by one at the end of
1:06:08
each turn? Yes. Alright, so remember
1:06:11
if you were frightened before it goes down
1:06:13
by one. I'm not frightened anymore. I haven't
1:06:15
been putting the conditions on you because you
1:06:17
have your own Demiplane sheets but just remember
1:06:19
you're Frightened One. It goes away at the
1:06:21
end of each turn. Who is sponsoring this
1:06:23
episode which I don't think you even mentioned?
1:06:25
Demiplane. Demiplane! I mean honestly if you're building
1:06:27
character sheets it is the best one out
1:06:29
there. That's it. It
1:06:32
is the best one out there and Foundry VTT
1:06:34
has been life changing for me as a GM
1:06:36
and you can already see the way it builds
1:06:38
immersion for the players and of course Newer's Foundry
1:06:42
Natural 20. Every time. Oh
1:06:45
I just rolled another one. Get
1:06:47
out of here. Swordice on sale in the merch
1:06:49
store. Alright
1:06:51
so with its second two
1:06:53
actions it is going to... Let
1:06:57
me see if that includes movement. If
1:07:00
I want to do that whirring slice. Also
1:07:03
okay the creature regains hit points. Let's
1:07:06
get real tikitak because this is a serious
1:07:08
situation. Does it just
1:07:11
like hover for
1:07:14
free as well? Is that just a thing?
1:07:16
Or does it have to like get up from
1:07:18
poon quote unquote. It doesn't need an action
1:07:20
to start taking off. It has a fly speed.
1:07:22
So what it did to me it just did
1:07:24
from the ground. From the ground right. It
1:07:26
was very disturbing. And
1:07:29
so now what it's going to do is just
1:07:31
start spinning in place and just shoot its way
1:07:33
at either you or Asta. Or
1:07:38
anybody I want honestly. I
1:07:41
see more fun here. Asta's already bleeding. Puggles
1:07:44
is over there. You know what? That's
1:07:47
funny. Talithi you look a little too
1:07:49
comfy over there. How did I get involved
1:07:51
in this? My
1:07:54
character getting involved in this encounter. Alright you know what I'm going
1:07:57
to do is I'm going to do 123, Talitha 4, 5, 6.
1:08:00
I think we know where this is going to end up. Oh!
1:08:07
It just kind of... Brother Ramius tries
1:08:09
to hit it as it goes by
1:08:11
and it's embarrassed. Just like, wow, that
1:08:14
guy has never played softball. Go ahead
1:08:16
and give me a reflex save if
1:08:18
it attempts to cut you. Umm,
1:08:23
14. Oh,
1:08:25
hell. Alright, so
1:08:27
a couple things are going to happen yet again. You're
1:08:30
going to take some slashing damage. Three
1:08:32
points of slashing and you are
1:08:34
bleeding. This thing sucks.
1:08:39
And now, why don't you go ahead
1:08:41
and give me the 1d4 electricity damage.
1:08:43
Gladly. Come on, max it out, dude.
1:08:46
Hit it. Again. Two.
1:08:50
And that's enough to take it back. Yeah,
1:08:52
oh my god. It gets one point back.
1:08:55
It gets one or two. One or two.
1:08:58
But we got to put it down.
1:09:00
That's amazing. We can't let it
1:09:02
get another turn. I'm
1:09:04
looking at you, Joe. I got
1:09:06
other business to attend to. I'm
1:09:08
sorry. Alright, well, that
1:09:10
thing is now behind Talitha. Talitha's got to deal with
1:09:12
it but can't deal with it. Just wants to get
1:09:15
away from it probably. That means you're getting closer to
1:09:17
Captain Sulla. Why can't you deal with it? Don't try
1:09:19
to think my thoughts for me. Well, you tell me
1:09:21
what you're thinking because it's your turn. Okay. And
1:09:24
you're bleeding! I'm going to be an arabian. Oh,
1:09:26
yeah, take it down further in the dying.
1:09:29
Okay. Roll. The
1:09:32
hit? The tiny little thing. Yeah, I mean. It's
1:09:34
a tiny little thing. Do I need to devise
1:09:36
a strategy? Real quick question.
1:09:39
Sorry. Are you doing this?
1:09:42
Correctly. Mechanically? Or
1:09:45
are you doing this like, flavorously? Mechanically.
1:09:48
Troy said something like- So you're going to
1:09:50
just attack it three times, basically. Or two
1:09:53
times. I was going to
1:09:55
do two and bring it down. See if that gets a
1:09:57
dying point. Troy said something like, oh, it's a dying point.
1:09:59
It's dying at one. It seemed like the way he was talking
1:10:01
about it did make a difference if it was a dying one.
1:10:03
He did say that you're the only one that can kill it.
1:10:05
It's not because of regeneration. But I
1:10:07
do wonder if we can hit it three times. Maybe you could
1:10:09
just purely if you hit it. It might
1:10:11
be wounded one. So it might be dying two right now. If
1:10:14
he's tracking that, which you don't normally track, that's why
1:10:16
I'm a little weirded out about this. Because you might
1:10:18
hit it all you want and you might just not
1:10:20
let it happen. But also I wouldn't, I think Talitha,
1:10:23
even though it would regenerate, the thing he might attack or the
1:10:25
most obvious thing to do would be to stick it with the
1:10:27
razor. I just want to
1:10:30
make sure you weren't doing this purely for mechanical reasons
1:10:32
because it might not work out. But narratively it makes
1:10:34
perfect sense. It's easy. It's been significantly lowered by the
1:10:36
fact that it is dying. All right. That
1:10:38
boy. I have 11. Yes.
1:10:41
Oh wow. All right. So it
1:10:44
goes to dying two. Okay. Second
1:10:46
attack. It's not
1:10:48
a crit. It was dying one. It was,
1:10:50
it died. It has to be wounded if you're tracking
1:10:52
that thing. It would die when you came back. Okay,
1:10:54
so dying three. Now it's dying three. Second attack. Can
1:10:58
you destroy it? Natural one. Oh
1:11:00
my god. Oh
1:11:02
my god. Oh
1:11:05
my god. How can
1:11:07
you? How
1:11:09
do you sleep with yourself? How do you
1:11:11
sleep with yourself? How do you sleep with
1:11:13
yourself? How do you sleep with yourself at
1:11:15
night? Oh my god. That's hilarious. It's
1:11:19
right. It was wounded. So you took it to dying
1:11:21
three. You go to finish it off. Yeah.
1:11:24
Like, do you stab your own foot? Let's find
1:11:26
out. What the
1:11:28
fuck? A Buick drives
1:11:30
into the room and hits
1:11:32
you in the sword. Another
1:11:34
centaussure. It kicks
1:11:36
you. Alright. This
1:11:39
one. Another
1:11:42
centaussure. Whatever
1:11:46
enemy you're fighting, triple. Yeah. I
1:11:49
was going to say. Yeah. That was
1:11:51
a good thing. If the creature you're fighting is
1:11:53
already dead, it comes back alive. What if your
1:11:55
enemy's friends from college show up? Are you fighting
1:11:57
a real saga? I hope he shows up. We've
1:12:00
got Andrew from Derry, New
1:12:02
Hampshire. Hi, Andrew. Derry and
1:12:04
the... Derry and the... Derry!
1:12:07
This one is Divine Disappointment. I'll say. So
1:12:09
close to Brother Amiens. One
1:12:12
of the gods, perhaps your own, was
1:12:15
enjoying the spectacle of your battle until
1:12:18
this moment. Your attack
1:12:20
misses horribly. It really
1:12:22
is horrible. Your embarrassing
1:12:24
attack offends the watching deity so
1:12:27
much that they inflict you with
1:12:29
enfeebled one until
1:12:31
you succeed on another melee attack.
1:12:33
Oh, okay. Wow.
1:12:37
I haven't had enfeebled in Pathfinder 2e.
1:12:40
Do you even have a god? I
1:12:42
do. Who's you? Do you?
1:12:45
Fresno. Oh. Dark. Lady
1:12:48
of Grizz. Status penalty
1:12:50
equal to the condition value to strength-based
1:12:52
roles in DCs, including strength of Epleyra.
1:12:56
Okay. Wait, but that... Don't you use your
1:12:58
decks? Or do you use strength when you attack? The
1:13:01
rapier is a finesse weapon. Yeah. So
1:13:03
it doesn't matter at all. I'm
1:13:06
taking a minus four to the third attack.
1:13:09
Really? From enfeebled? That's my
1:13:11
third attack. Oh, right, right, right. Sorry. Okay.
1:13:15
I'm gonna change dice. You're like, no, no. From
1:13:17
the rules of the game. From the standard rules of the game. Okay,
1:13:19
third attack. Okay. It's not a... Is
1:13:22
it? Is it another one? It's not a one. It's
1:13:24
not a one. It's a two to hit. I rolled
1:13:27
a natural six. That would be... That's definitely a miss.
1:13:29
I feebly kick at it in the dirt. that
1:13:32
knocked it? Yeah. That's one thing we didn't do.
1:13:34
It's kind of important. This is a weird situation
1:13:36
because these enemies normally don't get diked. Right,
1:13:48
right, right, right. Who was the one that took
1:13:50
it out? I did. Asta did,
1:13:52
right. So technically it should have moved before Asta
1:13:54
and never been able to hit. There's
1:13:57
a lot going on here. Yeah. I should
1:13:59
have been able to go before it. Yeah, I'm just gonna leave it
1:14:01
where it is because Talitha is the one that took it back down
1:14:03
and now it goes for Talitha. It
1:14:05
is what it is. Is
1:14:07
that it, Talith? That's my turn. Good
1:14:11
job! Shut up. It's Brother Raimius' turn.
1:14:13
Brother Raimius, you're frightened. Talitha is infeasible. She looks
1:14:15
weak. She looks weak. Presence of a damn bomb.
1:14:17
I didn't even hit it, so I'm still infeasible.
1:14:20
Oh wait, I bleed. I bleed. You
1:14:22
bleed. You bleed blood. You
1:14:25
take four points of damage. And I failed
1:14:27
to fight. Oh my god. I died. Going
1:14:29
through all of your D20s. Are
1:14:32
you rotating? I've gone through
1:14:34
four D20s on this turn. And
1:14:37
even when I hit him, it wasn't great. It's
1:14:39
like an actual five. What do you do? Brother
1:14:43
Raimius, I mean this is a nasty situation
1:14:45
with this thing and Talitha bleeding, trying to
1:14:47
fight it. But
1:14:50
he feels that the centaur is the bigger
1:14:52
threat at the moment, so he's just gonna
1:14:54
turn in place, look back around at this
1:14:56
battle that's happening on the other side of
1:14:58
this table where Bugles and Asta are flanking
1:15:01
the creature and he sees Asta
1:15:03
get really roughed up, so he's
1:15:05
just going to yell across at
1:15:07
you, Asta, pick her out!
1:15:09
And he is going to heal you. So
1:15:12
he's going to cast heal so
1:15:14
that you get that tendon repaired and can use
1:15:17
your arm and your weapon for
1:15:19
15 points. Let's go
1:15:21
back up to full healing. We'll remove the bleeding.
1:15:24
We'll not remove the bleeding. Right. We'll
1:15:27
remove the torn tendon
1:15:29
situation. So with the way
1:15:31
it was written, she couldn't pick up her weapon
1:15:33
until the tendon was finished? She couldn't manipulate. I
1:15:35
could have used my offhand. But she couldn't cast
1:15:37
spells or anything like that? Wow!
1:15:40
Yeah. I could have cast spells. Yeah, but
1:15:43
if you got crit by her maybe once, you'd go
1:15:45
down. Then we'd have to deal with you at
1:15:47
dying, so. Just saying, I could have cast spells.
1:15:49
What else you got? What else
1:15:51
you got? Thank you. Thank you. Then
1:15:55
he will... There's a holy cantrip that you can
1:15:57
cast from the ring? It's two actions.
1:16:00
Unfortunately. So,
1:16:03
I'm just going to have to deal with this thing in
1:16:05
another round, just assuming people can
1:16:07
stay up enough. Okay. Yeah.
1:16:11
So he will aid Buggles
1:16:15
with a prayer. Ah,
1:16:17
prayer. Prayer? A
1:16:19
religion check? A religion check
1:16:22
to the keeper. Alright. If Zephyr's turn
1:16:25
to end keeper this creature then round
1:16:27
two. I'll watch as he means
1:16:29
to be alive. Let him destroy that creature.
1:16:33
Alright. I'm in Manastha Garchar's stance.
1:16:36
I'm going to move without
1:16:38
my ruler on because I'm measured already. I'm
1:16:41
going to move right in front of the door so
1:16:43
that I don't take a volley
1:16:45
penalty. And I'm
1:16:48
going to use my focus
1:16:50
spell, key strike. I
1:16:53
only get one of these every time I rest.
1:16:56
So I make an unarmed strike or a flurry
1:16:58
of blows. And
1:17:01
I gain a plus one status bonus each time
1:17:05
I make my attack. Okay. And
1:17:07
then I deal extra damage if it hits. So.
1:17:11
Okay. At big
1:17:13
bad lady. So
1:17:15
what you got? BBL. The
1:17:18
natural two, the first one. Oh
1:17:20
my god. You're all ice cold.
1:17:22
Just going to put that vise
1:17:24
over there. And roll the second one.
1:17:27
Oh boy. Oh no. Oh
1:17:29
my god. Oh. Stamus,
1:17:33
did you net one for your
1:17:35
dice bar? Oh
1:17:38
no. No. Yeah.
1:17:41
Oh no. Or she's ice cold. I
1:17:45
was like this is going to be such a big
1:17:47
turn because I'm using my focus spell. And
1:17:49
if I hit it because it's flanked, I'm going to
1:17:51
do extra damage. And then I did. Oh
1:17:55
man. You ever become
1:17:57
so nervous? disappointed
1:18:00
in yourself
1:18:03
so quick I always just a divine you just
1:18:05
want to give up what were you saying earlier in
1:18:07
this episode Joe sorry
1:18:11
what try to deal
1:18:13
with your god damn
1:18:15
fumble something about just being disappointed in
1:18:17

1:18:19
anyway there's no point there's no point in
1:18:21
trying Joe what do we got
1:18:24

1:18:27
Madison Wisconsin I thought I'd place
1:18:29
of the onion can I call
1:18:31
you Jim this
1:18:33
is interesting with your monastic Archer stance the
1:18:35
newspaper and walk it off yeah not the
1:18:37
festival walk it off your
1:18:40
attack misses because you're getting terrible cramping
1:18:42
in your legs you
1:18:45
take a minus two circumstance penalty
1:18:47
to your AC until you're able
1:18:49
to move for a total of
1:18:51
1d4 times 20 feet of distance so basically you
1:18:53
got to move around this room to walk it
1:18:55
off otherwise you take a penalty of your AC
1:18:59
Wow good job on
1:19:01
that fumble how hard is yet make you walk home
1:19:03
and you have to move 40 feet a
1:19:05
total of 45 how I don't even do in
1:19:07
one action no yeah so I mean
1:19:10
now that I know that I have to do
1:19:12
that I'm gonna move 25 feet for
1:19:15
my third action yeah I feel I don't
1:19:17
want to yeah I'll go up to next
1:19:19
to rainiest here 25 feet
1:19:28
walk starting to walk it off 15 feet left
1:19:30
15 feet to
1:19:32
go all right so you just
1:19:34
start to walk it off 15 feet this magic
1:19:36
start to happen with her bow and it just
1:19:38
fizzles out and pop and she's
1:19:40
like oh oh Charlie horse oh all
1:19:43
right and now she's walking around the room
1:19:46
that is such a bummer about your focus
1:19:48
ball I'm so sorry yeah top around three
1:19:51
Bugle's turn Bugle's the standing toe-to-toe
1:19:53
with this thing that towers over
1:19:56
him so
1:19:59
when brother rameus starts
1:20:01
uttering his thing. The,
1:20:06
you see, Fuggles like Grimace, like, bears
1:20:09
his little fangs. And
1:20:11
he says in this language that
1:20:13
you don't understand, Save your players.
1:20:16
There is no god but me!
1:20:19
Boom! Hit him with the ice,
1:20:21
with the ant ice. Ho ho ho ho ho ho
1:20:23
ho. Oh yeah, that is a 26 to hit. That
1:20:26
is a hit. Way to go again
1:20:28
and prove there is no need for religion. That is
1:20:31
11 points of cold damage. No,
1:20:34
10. Sorry, 10 points of cold damage. 11,
1:20:37
10, excuse me, 10 points of cold damage. And
1:20:39
the same thing happens again, even though the shield is raised, she
1:20:41
didn't use it to try and block your thing, so
1:20:44
she'll use her reaction to have the cape
1:20:46
activate, give me a
1:20:48
reflex save. Ah,
1:20:52
natural three. So! It's
1:20:54
a critical failure. Alright, so you
1:20:57
take a little
1:20:59
bit of damage, as
1:21:01
this thing, like, snaps its jaw at
1:21:03
you and comes to life. You
1:21:06
take five points of piercing
1:21:08
damage, and you'll take
1:21:10
one bleed on your turn. You are
1:21:12
bleeding. Everybody is
1:21:15
bleeding. Everybody is bleeding, not fatigue.
1:21:19
Do you have any action left? Yeah. So
1:21:22
is he, like, trapped by this thing now, or just...
1:21:24
No, it was just an attack. And
1:21:28
so he redirects this pain from
1:21:30
this injury with his mind, and
1:21:32
does a side burst right into her mind.
1:21:34
Ooh! So give me
1:21:36
a will save. A will save. We're
1:21:40
about to see who's worthy! Side
1:21:43
burst. What'd you get?
1:21:47
Okay. You take two points of
1:21:49
damage. Two points of damage. Like, get damage.
1:21:51
So just, like, as the cape comes up
1:21:53
and grabs you, you redirect that pain into
1:21:55
her mind. Yeah, it's so cool. So cool.
1:21:58
All right, so... It's almost like a... like
1:22:00
an audible whip crack in her in her gahhh she
1:22:04
snarls at you whoa and
1:22:07
now my aura again it
1:22:09
vanishes the cool Lecan
1:22:11
is gone and bubble with Bugles is back
1:22:14
he's stupefied and frightened Oh Bugles!
1:22:19
let's see if Asta can finish this because that's
1:22:22
not a good place for Bugles to be so
1:22:25
Asta's arm healed she looks down at the
1:22:27
Katana but I
1:22:30
need to spell strike and I
1:22:33
have to either cast a spell before I spell
1:22:35
strike if I pick up my weapon I
1:22:38
can't spell strike why not spell strike
1:22:40
is a two action gone and it's a move action
1:22:42
to pick up a weapon yeah spell
1:22:44
strike you have three actions a turn
1:22:46
yeah move and before I spell
1:22:48
strike it's ready to it's ready at your feet the
1:22:51
spell strike is part of no no no I
1:22:53
know I have to cast a
1:22:55
spell before I can spell strike again I
1:22:57
have to reach for it oh no no you don't
1:23:00
have to cast a spell you have to like take
1:23:02
an assentering action I either
1:23:04
have to cast a spell or spend
1:23:06
an action to recharge that's cool that's really cool
1:23:08
I forgot about that part so she looks down at
1:23:10
the Katana with her healed arm and she like goes to
1:23:12
grab it and then she instead it's
1:23:15
almost monk like like she like mmmmmmm
1:23:19
and pulls her fist back and just
1:23:21
punches we're back
1:23:23
to the punching again this
1:23:26
is more effective it
1:23:29
would be cool though like in that stance it was like yeah
1:23:32
she's in her arcade cascade stance
1:23:34
and as she punches I'm going
1:23:36
to cast hydraulic push oh
1:23:38
there you go and punch this
1:23:40
horse in the neck okay okay
1:23:42
alright spell strike with you wait
1:23:44
wait wait I'm spell striking with my
1:23:47
I'm gonna center myself one action not pick
1:23:49
up the Katana spell strike with
1:23:51
my fist gotcha and you don't have another
1:23:53
use of the shocking one because remember this
1:23:55
is she's covered in metal I could
1:23:58
but I
1:24:00
mean I could. If you don't want, if
1:24:02
you're trying to save it, that's fine. I just want to remember. You've
1:24:06
got it and she's got this metal shittle. I prepared,
1:24:08
did I prepare it? I think I did. Yes. Oh
1:24:11
no, I didn't. Oh, because it
1:24:13
doesn't work like a sorcerer. Yeah, I have
1:24:15
my book. You prepared it, you
1:24:17
used it, that's it. Yeah. Yeah. I have another
1:24:19
spell slot, but... Don't roll a natural one. We
1:24:22
can't have another one. Why would you say that? You
1:24:24
never have it. Don't roll a natural
1:24:26
one. Don't talk to me. Alright.
1:24:28
You got this. Don't talk to me when I'm rolling.
1:24:30
I'm so confused. Anything but a one. Okay,
1:24:33
it's not, but it's also not good. Ugh. Um,
1:24:36
it's gonna be a 19. Oh,
1:24:39
plus one. It's
1:24:41
gonna be a dirty 20. That's not that bad.
1:24:44
We're flanking. And it's flanking. Plus
1:24:46
one, dirty 20. And
1:24:49
it's off guard. It's off guard, but it
1:24:51
has a shield race. But I used
1:24:54
mine. Oh yeah, he... I should not have a
1:24:56
shield race. Yeah. That was last turn. I
1:24:58
used my reaction to have the cloak. So
1:25:01
I can't do shield block with the shield on. Oh no,
1:25:03
the shield's gonna give you the ace. Your shield is still
1:25:05
a race. But you're flanked. So it's... It
1:25:07
offsets. Yeah. Yeah. Alright, so...
1:25:10
What happened? Dirty 20. So
1:25:12
dirty 20. To hit. Right.
1:25:14
My AC is higher, but then it's lower.
1:25:18
That's a hit. Yeah! Yeah!
1:25:21
Good job! Alright. So
1:25:23
that's three points, I guess, of bludgeoning with my
1:25:25
fish. Non-lethal. One extra one
1:25:27
from Force, from my Arcane Cascade
1:25:29
stance. It's a Force damage,
1:25:31
one-fourth. Then my hydraulic push.
1:25:34
It is 3d6. It's
1:25:37
just a regular success. Well, yeah.
1:25:40
Yes. Yeah. So 3d6. Let's
1:25:43
see. The push
1:25:45
doesn't have a save against
1:25:47
it, right? No. God,
1:25:50
I rolled like absolute trash. I'm so
1:25:52
pissed. Nine points.
1:25:54
There is a... Wait, you have
1:25:56
to make a... Range-pellet test. Oh, because you critically
1:25:58
succeed. I could do
1:26:00
66 if I crit. Okay.
1:26:05
All right. So what's the total? Nine
1:26:07
points. So it was, sorry, before.
1:26:10
Three points of non-lethal fist. Plus one
1:26:12
force. So four plus nine is 13,
1:26:15
13 points total. 13
1:26:18
points. But some of that was non-lethal. Three
1:26:20
was non-lethal. It all gets added together
1:26:23
to all the same. She falls. Yeah!
1:26:26
Wow! Nice. Nice.
1:26:30
She crumbles to the ground in front of you and
1:26:32
buggles. Oh! Oh!
1:26:34
Oh! Oh! Ow!
1:26:38
Ow! That
1:26:40
was really cool. Are you okay? That was
1:26:42
really cool. Are you okay? Me? Is
1:26:45
that a move? We're not through yet. And
1:26:47
he turns over to lead the... What are you
1:26:49
doing? There's a couple of people still bleeding, so
1:26:51
let's hold on here. Oh, I'm bleeding. You should
1:26:53
have taken one bleed and then rolled to see
1:26:55
if you removed the bleed. No.
1:26:59
Okay. And now you take
1:27:01
some bleed. You're going to take four more bleed,
1:27:03
Asta, and we'll see if you can remove it.
1:27:06
This time it's going to be different. I'm
1:27:08
going to go for it. He is.
1:27:11
Oh! All right, so you're out bleeding. What
1:27:13
is happening? Captain Salah is out
1:27:15
now. The gross blade ball. We'll see if
1:27:17
it will move up to another dying. You
1:27:20
don't know. It's still down. It is Talitha's
1:27:22
turn. Talitha, you have three actions, but you're still bleeding and
1:27:24
this thing is standing in view, but you don't think you
1:27:26
have the power to end it. I am
1:27:28
going to stab it though because I want to get rid of this in Fievels.
1:27:31
Yep. Okay. Fourteen to
1:27:33
hit. Okay, you hit it. Okay,
1:27:35
I'm no longer in Fievels. Stab!
1:27:38
Okay. And then I will... I'll
1:27:41
stab one more time. Okay. Okay,
1:27:44
there you go. Natural fifteen. There you
1:27:46
go. Great. Then you take four
1:27:48
points of bleed. My D4 is only roll four and
1:27:51
then roll a flat check. I have another action. Oh,
1:27:53
sorry. I'm
1:27:55
going to... I guess
1:27:57
I better quick tincture. No, I'll save it. Okay, let me
1:27:59
save it. Okay, I'll just watch it, okay? So
1:28:01
four points of bleed. You
1:28:04
know, let me try to stab one more time to see what
1:28:06
makes a difference. Okay. That'll be three
1:28:08
to hit. If you could roll another natural
1:28:10
one, maybe just stop. I thought
1:28:12
you'd go first. I got really scared. It
1:28:15
was seven. All right, so you just keep stabbing at this
1:28:17
thing, hoping that it's making a difference, but with regeneration, you're
1:28:19
just not sure. Take four points of damage
1:28:21
and then try to remove that bleed. Fourteen,
1:28:23
which is a, it's DC 15. 15,
1:28:26
oh. So three of
1:28:28
you are still bleeding and it goes to Brother
1:28:30
Ramius. Brother Ramius, you know that you are the
1:28:32
only one that can stop its regeneration, but three
1:28:34
of your allies are bleeding out. Yeah,
1:28:38
okay, he will attempt to
1:28:40
stop its regeneration. So, tell
1:28:43
me about, watch out. And he's
1:28:45
going to shoot past you, a
1:28:47
divine lance at this thing, and
1:28:49
this just white light comes emanating
1:28:52
out of his hand and just
1:28:54
bang into the creature, hopefully
1:28:57
sending it forever away. That's
1:29:00
good, that's a 21 to hit. 21
1:29:03
is a critical with a tasty. Oh,
1:29:05
beautiful. So just, boom. Too
1:29:08
great. Too great. It's
1:29:11
a nothing. Do
1:29:13
you see the action? She's covered in her own
1:29:15
blood. Yeah, exactly. So, we gotta
1:29:18
stay in combat rounds, you know, he's
1:29:20
like, come here, let me close
1:29:22
that up. I have bandages, I have bandages. Divine
1:29:25
lance, one action? No,
1:29:27
his turn is over. Right, so
1:29:29
now it goes to Zephyr. You, while
1:29:31
she, while Asa was bleeding, didn't you
1:29:34
heal her to her full hit point?
1:29:36
Yeah, but it doesn't, magical healing doesn't
1:29:38
take away. It does, it does if you're at your full.
1:29:40
Were you at full when I healed you? You healed me back
1:29:42
up, yeah, you healed me. Yeah, you're not bleeding
1:29:44
anymore. I gave you 15, was that to
1:29:46
your max? Yeah. Then you're
1:29:48
not bleeding. Oh, thank you. And then, bleed damage ends automatically
1:29:51
if you're healed to your full hit point. Okay. I
1:29:53
do not know that, okay. Give yourself four hit points
1:29:55
back. Okay. And you'll remove the bleeding. However,
1:29:57
Talitha and B Is
1:30:00
there anything you can do and know is fine?
1:30:02
We could just yeah, I don't think so you'd
1:30:04
have to be trained in medicine. Yeah, I am
1:30:08
I am not you
1:30:10
could flip my throat put me out
1:30:12
of my misery. I'm gonna walk. I'm gonna do a lap around
1:30:14
the room Yeah,
1:30:24
all right buggles is there anything you can do for
1:30:26
yourself or do you would just want to roll the
1:30:28
flat? I think
1:30:30
I yeah, I don't have medicine All
1:30:33
right, you're you're only taking one bleed. So
1:30:35
you do take one bleed and then Nope,
1:30:39
fail again. It's a buggles you see
1:30:41
is starting to bugles It's like his
1:30:43
head is swimming like he sees this
1:30:45
corpse of this horrible horse beast in
1:30:47
front of him. He's disoriented. He's bleeding
1:30:49
He's just like, oh Yeah,
1:30:52
yeah, he continues to bleed you must see this you
1:30:54
must see buggles is all out of sorts over there
1:30:57
Asta you're standing across from this fallen
1:30:59
centaur which is a big mound of
1:31:01
the body But you just see buggles
1:31:03
struggling. Can you do it? Bugles actually
1:31:06
like he slips against he's like walking
1:31:08
backwards. He slips in his
1:31:10
own blood It's
1:31:12
his head on the table Million-dollar
1:31:17
baby Bugle
1:31:27
episode title Terrible
1:31:36
day I
1:31:40
Would like to walk over
1:31:42
to buggles around the horse corpse the
1:31:45
centaur corpse And
1:31:47
after we'll get down on the ground in the
1:31:49
blood with him and she'll go okay. Okay Hold
1:31:54
on and I'm gonna treat do
1:31:57
a first-aid check I guess with my trained medicine
1:32:01
You're trained in medicine? Yep. Then administer
1:32:03
first aid, it's two actions. Two actions.
1:32:05
So I'll move and then do that as my two
1:32:07
actions to stop his bleeding. Okay. Alright,
1:32:10
so the DC on this is going to
1:32:12
be probably this thing's class DC, I would
1:32:14
guess, since it didn't... Is that how it
1:32:16
works? Yeah, it's the DC of the effect.
1:32:19
Oh, because it's... Oh, well,
1:32:21
I'll do my best. I don't know
1:32:23
if I'm going to get that. Because
1:32:26
I don't... you know, that wasn't like a spell
1:32:28
it cast, that was just an after effect of
1:32:30
its attack, right? So probably
1:32:32
its class DC would be the DC. Okay.
1:32:36
It makes perfect sense that it's class DC, because
1:32:38
it's... how violently do its blades cut?
1:32:40
Or it could be the DC of
1:32:42
the effect that others rolled against, the
1:32:45
reflexes. That's what makes you
1:32:47
bleed? Yeah, it's the ball. Oh, I'm sorry, that
1:32:49
was from the cape. Yeah. Oh, from the cape,
1:32:51
not the ball. Two different things,
1:32:53
sorry. So it would be the same DC? Yes. Yeah.
1:32:56
So 21. Success. Awesome,
1:32:58
yeah. So I just kind of palm bubbled
1:33:00
down and I start to pack his wound
1:33:02
and tape him up. That's great. Okay. Ah,
1:33:05
ah, ah, ah, and yeah, he
1:33:07
slowly starts to come around and
1:33:09
a little bit of relief and
1:33:11
understanding where he is. He's so cute.
1:33:14
And also says, you were so brave.
1:33:18
Oh, I don't think I
1:33:20
was. Oh, and
1:33:22
she just kind of holds, holds bubble. She goes, oh,
1:33:24
just sit here, okay? We can just sit here if you
1:33:27
don't have to get up here. Oh. Blood-bingling in
1:33:29
each other's open wounds. And
1:33:31
it goes to Felita. She's
1:33:35
got friends. I'm sorry, I had that on hand. Fred's
1:33:39
a sandman. Each of your blood seeping into
1:33:41
each other's open wounds. And this beautiful scene.
1:33:44
Felita, anything you can do, you just want me to try
1:33:46
to... This beautiful scene of death. ...I'm going to try to
1:33:49
staunchly bleeding. What was the DC?
1:33:53
I think it's 15. No, it's... Oh,
1:33:56
no, the classy DC of the... I have the DC of the... Oh
1:34:00
yeah, what effect put you at the ball? Ball.
1:34:03
Ball's blades. Glad I deleted that. It
1:34:06
would be the class DC of the ball.
1:34:08
Class DC of the ball. Ball blades. I
1:34:10
rolled a natural 19. Oh
1:34:12
yeah, you're fine. So I stopped the bleeding. Yeah. All
1:34:15
right, so good. The bleeding is, we're
1:34:17
done. Over. You know what I mean?
1:34:19
You guys ready to go in the next room? No,
1:34:22
no, no, no, no. I will be
1:34:24
right back. I'm just going to kick down
1:34:26
this door. And he kicks down
1:34:28
the next door. That
1:34:31
first sits at the table. Now that her leg feels
1:34:33
better. And looks around the room
1:34:36
at the skulls. From there.
1:34:39
What's next to you? I searched the centaur. This
1:34:41
lady's got to have some cool stuff. Which isn't
1:34:43
a pocket in that horse body. I checked to
1:34:46
see if it was in a pocket. Check for
1:34:48
gift certificates. Oh, okay. Yeah, we could use a
1:34:50
gift card to like an Olive Garden or something.
1:34:52
That'd be fun. That'd be fucking awesome. Oh my
1:34:54
God, now she had Dave and Busters. We
1:34:56
would go crazy. That's exactly what we
1:34:58
need. As a team building exercise and
1:35:01
as just some relief. Yep. Dave
1:35:03
and Busters? Yeah. Yeah, I said at the table, cool.
1:35:06
All right, that's cute. Michael,
1:35:09
do you still stupid? No,
1:35:11
that passes after two rounds. Right,
1:35:15
you search the body of the centaur.
1:35:17
She has a long sword. She
1:35:20
has a spear. She has actually five
1:35:22
spears. Because some were- Are they
1:35:25
all large size? Good
1:35:27
question. Oh, it is large
1:35:29
size. The magical cloak on her back. Whoa.
1:35:32
Oh, it's a, ah. Okay, I'm not
1:35:34
sure how resizing things work in
1:35:37
this. We can look into that between episodes. She's also
1:35:39
wearing a breastplate and it is a steel shield. I
1:35:42
would think that these are size large. Everything
1:35:45
longs for a spear, a breastplate, steel shield. But
1:35:48
who was she? Captain Sawa.
1:35:50
She told us her name. She told us
1:35:53
her name and most of her story. But
1:35:55
why does she come to serve Kenhipo? He's
1:35:57
asking this as he's hatching
1:35:59
up. Talitha. I
1:36:02
think, brother Amis, I think she was a
1:36:04
creature of evil. Do you
1:36:06
think that it's
1:36:09
just in their nature that some creatures
1:36:11
derive pleasure from a- What
1:36:15
did you do? I don't
1:36:17
know, just passionate Talitha. No, don't roll
1:36:20
the die with... Just lost
1:36:22
all color in his face. There
1:36:25
wasn't much in there to begin with. Do
1:36:28
you think some
1:36:31
creatures just naturally derive pleasure
1:36:34
from others' pain? Oh
1:36:36
yeah, this one definitely seemed to be into
1:36:39
that. She looks around, the
1:36:41
skull's in the room, and the meat around
1:36:43
the corner, the questionable meat. I
1:36:46
don't know how else to explain it. She wanted to
1:36:48
watch us suffer. She seemed
1:36:50
excited to... What
1:36:53
did she say? Jo is trying to heal me,
1:36:55
he rolled another natural one. Oh, that's what you're
1:36:57
doing over there. Are you bleeding and
1:36:59
just losing him? What's your ego? They're
1:37:03
having a great time. Oh, shit. I'm
1:37:06
sorry, stay still. Do you
1:37:08
think people try to intentionally hurt others? I'm sorry,
1:37:10
Zephyr. I'm
1:37:13
sorry, Zephyr at one side of the table, too. And
1:37:16
he's just getting out. Can
1:37:19
you keep it sound? I think somebody
1:37:21
did unintentionally hurt other people. Sure, absolutely. So
1:37:23
you take that much damage. Oh my God. I'm
1:37:27
still working. Come on. Continue your roleplay.
1:37:30
Stop it, Zephyr. Zephyr. Yeah.
1:37:34
Buckles in the back. Buckles,
1:37:38
I'm doing my best to go on un-perserved. Zephyr,
1:37:42
let's take a walk. Let's
1:37:45
look at all these skulls. Yeah.
1:37:47
Maybe into the meat room. Oh, let's look at the meat room.
1:37:50
Zephyr, do you want to take a walk? And
1:37:53
these buckles are still pretty badly hurt. So
1:37:55
he's just like, no, I
1:37:57
think I'll... I'll
1:38:00
give it a miss this time. Thank you though. Thank
1:38:03
you for stopping me from bleeding to
1:38:05
death And
1:38:08
now for our cleric to do their job Sweat
1:38:15
pouring down his face his blood all over him. It's
1:38:18
been an hour and a half He's
1:38:22
like I
1:38:30
need glass of water Tiger we
1:38:32
lost her. I'm gonna bring me water I
1:38:35
think i'm all right actually Bugles
1:38:39
please that'll be fine. Bugles Time
1:38:42
heals all wounds as they say All
1:38:46
right He's smoking.
1:38:48
Yeah, he's smoking. He rolls a
1:38:50
tobacco cigarette With
1:38:54
the page of a book the
1:38:56
hand's shaking hand's shaking He's just like sucking
1:38:58
one back. It was a hard one Bugles
1:39:07
Bugles it's like mash It
1:39:10
really is Um, and
1:39:12
it should be treated as such. This is
1:39:14
nasty, man. Yeah, this is war. It's gross
1:39:16
and brutal and uh Time
1:39:18
has to pass as we take care of this. So uh In
1:39:21
actuality, it took me 40
1:39:24
minutes to take care of felitha. So Lots
1:39:27
to discuss he's gonna start patching up. Bugles Before
1:39:32
you reach you actually touch him
1:39:34
he reaches out and he like gently sort of grabs
1:39:36
your wrist and he says I I'm
1:39:39
sorry He said that about
1:39:41
your prayer. I'm i'm
1:39:43
sure he didn't mean it Do
1:39:46
you and he's starting to work on you? Do
1:39:48
you know what he said? I
1:39:51
couldn't understand it you and I
1:39:53
speak many languages. Oh Well,
1:39:56
I I suppose it is important then
1:40:01
In any case, I... Did it feel wrong? What
1:40:05
he said to you? It
1:40:08
was rude. It
1:40:10
was rude. But I... I
1:40:13
think he... He... I
1:40:15
think he means well, at least as far
1:40:17
as I'm concerned. When
1:40:20
did you first start speaking with him? He
1:40:27
came to me when I was in
1:40:29
trouble at my...
1:40:33
Where I used to live. And
1:40:37
he... Helped protect you? He helped me.
1:40:39
Yes, he helped me. And
1:40:42
he has been with me ever
1:40:44
since. He comes and goes. I
1:40:47
have noticed that we were outside earlier and
1:40:49
he kind of smiles. And he's making progress.
1:40:51
He does seven points of healing. Oh.
1:40:54
Are you still down? Oh yeah.
1:40:57
Yeah, so he's just going to keep working. I
1:40:59
noticed outside he came over you again. It
1:41:01
seems to be these sort of violent
1:41:05
episodes where he emerges
1:41:08
when you're in danger. It is.
1:41:11
It is a little... Unpleasant.
1:41:15
It can be unpleasant. But
1:41:19
also it
1:41:21
is good, I suppose, to feel
1:41:24
strong for at least for a
1:41:26
moment. Yes,
1:41:29
it is nice to feel strong. I
1:41:32
wouldn't know. And he smiles. And
1:41:35
he crets natural 20. Oh. So
1:41:37
that is 17. You still down? Oh
1:41:40
no, I'm good. Okay, great. It
1:41:44
says, I know something of
1:41:46
feeling weak.
1:41:49
The weaker one. When
1:41:52
I was younger, I
1:41:56
had a brother who was very
1:41:59
strong. And I
1:42:02
always seem to pale in
1:42:04
comparison. You know, always a bit thinner,
1:42:06
always a bit slower to
1:42:08
run. And I
1:42:14
think it's my heart, really. That's
1:42:16
what the physicians told
1:42:18
me when I was younger. Something...
1:42:22
it's a little
1:42:24
slower, something makes
1:42:28
me... sometimes hard
1:42:30
to catch breath, and hard to keep
1:42:32
up. And to watch
1:42:35
him be so excellent in so many things, it
1:42:38
was difficult. So
1:42:41
I certainly understand the feeling of wanting
1:42:43
that strength. But
1:42:47
I worry, is it
1:42:49
worth losing yourself entirely? It's
1:42:53
hard to think of you
1:42:56
thinking of yourself as weak you are so
1:42:58
big. And
1:43:01
you say your heart is weak, your heart is
1:43:03
good? You have a
1:43:05
good heart. Oh, thank you,
1:43:07
boss. You do as well. I'm
1:43:11
glad that we are working together here
1:43:13
to try to find this answer
1:43:16
to our question. The
1:43:18
answer to why we passed through. But
1:43:22
with each place we go, and he's
1:43:24
looking around at this really
1:43:26
foreign, strange place, you know, it
1:43:30
only brings up more questions. Did
1:43:33
you miss your brother? I
1:43:35
do, very much. Very
1:43:39
much. He
1:43:41
kind of gets lost. I'm caught. I
1:43:44
miss mine too. Your brother.
1:43:46
They had many brothers and sisters. So
1:43:49
I thought of them. Yes,
1:43:53
it's been very
1:43:55
long since I have been
1:43:57
home. Home.
1:44:00
It's a
1:44:02
concept that has eluded me for
1:44:04
many years now. Do
1:44:07
you think we will ever see home again, Brother Raimiels?
1:44:11
I don't know, Bockels. I
1:44:14
think first we have to find out if we
1:44:18
can be safe anywhere. And
1:44:21
if we can be safe from
1:44:23
this, I know. Perhaps
1:44:26
we could return home. I
1:44:30
suppose I don't want to return to where I came from. But
1:44:33
it would be nice to find a home. I
1:44:36
suppose I don't hear the Bockels. Maybe
1:44:41
it's just that feeling of home. Perhaps
1:44:44
we... Perhaps we could
1:44:46
create a new one. That
1:44:49
would be good. That would be nice. But
1:44:52
you're all set there? Any sort
1:44:54
of paths on the places where he's placed the bandages. You're
1:44:57
in great shape. As straight as I say.
1:45:00
Thank you, Brother. Like hops down
1:45:02
from the chair. As good as
1:45:04
new. And
1:45:06
I said, that's not a
1:45:09
lamb shake. That's a pork
1:45:11
medallion. It's...it's
1:45:14
a joke. I
1:45:18
know it is. That
1:45:20
would do really well with Kitsune. They would
1:45:22
find that very funny. Maybe
1:45:25
one day I'll get it. Would
1:45:28
you like to hear another joke? Okay, we
1:45:30
can try it again. Oh.
1:45:34
I understand. You're tired. Brace
1:45:36
yourself. You're tired.
1:45:38
Anyway, look at all this meat. Can
1:45:41
we examine the skulls? Yeah,
1:45:43
I mean, the skulls, the first thing that
1:45:46
kind of jump out at you because they're all glowing
1:45:48
and they seem to be staring at you. And
1:45:51
they're all different shapes but all humanoid. You don't
1:45:53
see any with like multiple eye sockets. They're all
1:45:55
two eye sockets. Nose,
1:45:58
mouth, some don't contain the lower jaw. The
1:46:00
meat. Dilute.
1:46:03
It looks like Maybelline. Some of
1:46:05
it is definitely a business afloat.
1:46:07
Maybelline, these like a human body
1:46:09
to spin did a sect it
1:46:12
surgically. And home.
1:46:15
He had a one might
1:46:17
be a side obese or
1:46:19
a torso of a. Male:
1:46:23
female. Kids are. Still
1:46:27
skin. Side
1:46:30
of beef is very large river human the
1:46:32
human know it or to be a small
1:46:35
town. For make
1:46:37
a great point yeah it's a
1:46:39
this is easier certain some of
1:46:41
that assuming meters every significant doesn't
1:46:43
All humans. Does it smell good as it fucked
1:46:45
up because it like kind of the most get. And small
1:46:48
doesn't bother you. And
1:46:51
then there's like that or other in
1:46:53
the corner about their says human. Roma
1:46:55
thing getting off the lights there
1:46:57
in the south Round corner. Hook
1:47:02
Cool Federal were killed
1:47:04
film him. Or
1:47:08
we see where it is. it's you know, heights.
1:47:10
I had a i don't our teacher who for
1:47:13
us at ten and I was never sure if
1:47:15
I was actually right skills to i think it's
1:47:17
film but suit as though is that kill me
1:47:19
of him If you look of a little pantry
1:47:21
and their logic dead rak from now shopping the
1:47:24
L and kill I that's one of us. You.
1:47:27
A little larva inside the skulls provider a
1:47:29
light to the room like a greenish lights
1:47:31
and but the pants that doesn't go into
1:47:34
the pantry so that and will kill near
1:47:36
that's getting light is just. Providing
1:47:39
light to that devil corner. But
1:47:42
you do get the sense that this is like a
1:47:44
banquet hall. Who
1:47:47
were food would be prepared and then
1:47:49
brought out to this now have destroyed
1:47:51
table. I see two
1:47:53
doors of this card or to the north.
1:47:56
can we go listen up i'm
1:47:58
sure i wasn't too one,
1:48:00
the Western door up in that Northern
1:48:02
corridor. The Westron door. Sure.
1:48:08
Natural five. You
1:48:13
put your ear up to that door and
1:48:15
it just like opens.
1:48:21
I look inside. I'll
1:48:24
wait. You look
1:48:26
inside and you see
1:48:28
a long hallway stretching
1:48:31
like up to the North West.
1:48:35
Do you hear anything at that door to the North? Hold
1:48:38
on. And I reach into
1:48:40
my little side bag, belt
1:48:42
thing under my robe, and I have a little
1:48:44
brass ear, uh, which is part of
1:48:46
my equipment. I bought this. It's a short
1:48:49
tube, uh, and it goes in the ear canal and
1:48:51
you can use it to listen through a door or
1:48:53
window. The hearing trumpet. Uh, yeah. Is
1:48:56
that a thing? Yeah,
1:48:58
it is. What was that? Want
1:49:00
the moon? Uh, and I
1:49:03
put it against the door and
1:49:05
I listened. Uh,
1:49:07
22. Nothing
1:49:12
on the other side of the North door. And
1:49:15
to leave the,
1:49:18
you turn back to look up this hallway and
1:49:20
you see along
1:49:23
the Western wall or the Western
1:49:25
side of this long corridor, um,
1:49:30
framed paintings, all
1:49:35
equally set apart, stretching
1:49:38
all the way down the hallway. Each
1:49:41
painting glows softly
1:49:45
and you can see like the
1:49:47
first few and they
1:49:50
depict figures that
1:49:53
seem to be moving in
1:49:55
the frame. Hogwarts. He
1:49:59
sit there for a second. Watch. It looks like a. Starting.
1:50:05
A new research. Moving.
1:50:12
Repeating motion pictures, moving your and
1:50:14
moving pictures like a guess. Is
1:50:16
it a source of the video
1:50:18
or silver? Not. Oh sure. helps
1:50:20
us ruff it's a gentleman has
1:50:22
that Tickets for the. Ah
1:50:26
we all thought in cargo check out
1:50:28
check out the fetus. Is this a
1:50:30
Nickelodeon? You say? Some ice? Five cents
1:50:33
bear with me. One moment I wanted
1:50:35
missing these pictures on some to move.
1:50:37
Oh great! To. Leave and
1:50:39
asta. Enter This.
1:50:42
Corridor. And
1:50:44
start of the paintings
1:50:46
the first one. Portrays
1:50:49
a long thin say
1:50:52
gear. A
1:50:54
foot tall may be
1:50:56
hairless, rail thin body
1:50:58
completely gender lists and
1:51:00
like the color of
1:51:02
pale slate as an
1:51:04
oversized mouth of slapped,
1:51:06
he's puncturing and otherwise
1:51:08
skull like space. Strips.
1:51:13
Slade Skyn. Spawning.
1:51:16
It's. Just.
1:51:19
Like Kuwait getting in
1:51:21
a dark Masih power.
1:51:24
And as you watch this sort
1:51:26
of scene unfold because it's moving.
1:51:30
You get the sense that the
1:51:32
creature is being born. But
1:51:36
it's like. Fully
1:51:38
for as awakens in
1:51:41
this. Keep
1:51:45
moving on to the. Same
1:51:49
secure. Kneeling
1:51:51
before this. Massive.
1:51:54
worked, As.
1:51:59
A power. Looks like
1:52:01
a ruler of some sorts in
1:52:03
this. Slim. Humanoid
1:52:06
just kneeling, Fealty
1:52:08
to this. And
1:52:13
the paintings continue in this
1:52:15
fashion, showing scenes of this
1:52:18
figure throughout it's allies. You
1:52:21
don't know where it
1:52:23
it doesn't change it's
1:52:25
visage, but it feels
1:52:27
chronological. The narrow, moving
1:52:29
and repeating these movements
1:52:31
over and over the
1:52:33
next one shows and
1:52:35
disfigure. coming upon the
1:52:37
nod corpse of a
1:52:39
human. And
1:52:43
the human has in the sand
1:52:45
say a strange carb to lease.
1:52:49
Than. You see the figure tracing the
1:52:51
trail of this human back to
1:52:54
where it came from and coming
1:52:56
upon a huge stone arts. Then.
1:52:59
Polling that carb leaf
1:53:01
out that took from
1:53:03
the body and using
1:53:05
the least as gates
1:53:07
keys to activate. Pass
1:53:11
through the arts the merging
1:53:13
into a clearing. That you
1:53:15
recognize even though it looks completely different
1:53:18
from when you saw it. It
1:53:20
is the location of the True Seven
1:53:23
Purchase. But. Much
1:53:25
different. overgrown it was a long
1:53:27
time ago. The
1:53:30
next one shows disfigured.
1:53:32
Now in that world
1:53:34
your world hunting else
1:53:36
have fought for gorge
1:53:38
on their. House
1:53:40
Sheringham. Experimenting on
1:53:43
them, zebra setting them
1:53:45
clearly, trying to do
1:53:48
something very specific, ultimately
1:53:50
sailing every single one
1:53:53
of his experiments, killing
1:53:55
the else, group
1:54:00
of elves, elven heroes
1:54:02
banding together to stop
1:54:04
this fey menace, hauling
1:54:07
it back through the seventh arch,
1:54:09
back into the first world where
1:54:11
they imprison this figure in the
1:54:13
stump of a giant tree. You
1:54:17
see in the moving painting the
1:54:19
elves taking that little leaf key
1:54:22
back from the fey to ensure
1:54:25
the figure would be stranded in
1:54:27
this world, the world which
1:54:29
you find yourselves in now. The
1:54:33
next painting shows this figure sitting in
1:54:36
its prison, just experimenting
1:54:39
with shadow stuff, and
1:54:42
as it experiments with this shadow stuff,
1:54:44
the stuff with which the realm is
1:54:47
made up of, you see its
1:54:49
realm within the tree growing,
1:54:53
changing, altering based on
1:54:55
the mind of this fey,
1:54:58
and it grows in such a way that tendrils
1:55:01
from this plane branch out
1:55:03
into the material plane, deep
1:55:05
into the material plane, and
1:55:07
you see this figure coming
1:55:10
to a great discovery and
1:55:12
then sending a great evil
1:55:14
through these branches from the
1:55:16
first world back into the
1:55:18
material world, and eventually
1:55:21
escaping their tree stump and
1:55:23
returning to the material world,
1:55:26
only to find that the elves are
1:55:29
gone and that they left long,
1:55:31
long ago. The
1:55:35
next one chronicles this figure's return
1:55:37
from the material plane, disappointed
1:55:39
that its enemies have
1:55:41
left back to the first
1:55:44
world, spending
1:55:47
centuries haunting
1:55:50
and stealing people from the
1:55:52
material plane to experiment on
1:55:54
them, looking for something. Going
1:55:58
into the material plane, taking someone's life. back
1:56:00
into the first world trying to figure
1:56:02
something out, recruiting other fae creatures like
1:56:04
the Gorgas to help them hunt.
1:56:06
You see them parlaying with Gorgas,
1:56:09
trying to convince them to join
1:56:11
their cause, sending the Gorgas into
1:56:13
the world to hunt people, to
1:56:15
bring them back into the fae's
1:56:17
first world stump, yet
1:56:20
again looking for something and always
1:56:22
being dissatisfied with the results. In
1:56:25
the ninth painting sees this figure
1:56:27
discovering a very familiar
1:56:30
looking Mookstuart, finding
1:56:32
Bolan in the woods and
1:56:35
instructing him to capture the very
1:56:38
key that was used against
1:56:40
it so long ago. And
1:56:43
as Asta and Talitha
1:56:45
continue moving along to the final painting,
1:56:47
imagine the rest of you are following
1:56:49
into the room and watching
1:56:51
this all unfold as well, you stop
1:56:54
in front of the final painting because
1:56:57
disturbingly it shows Brother
1:57:00
Rameus, Talitha,
1:57:03
Buggles, Zephyr and
1:57:06
Lucky fighting the
1:57:08
Rebel Oakstorts and fending off the
1:57:10
unicorn during your encounter at the
1:57:12
seventh arch. And
1:57:15
you watch and there's like this tiny
1:57:17
glow in the background
1:57:20
of this image and you
1:57:22
focus in looking ever
1:57:24
so closer at this figure,
1:57:29
this slim fae figure watching
1:57:32
from the trees with
1:57:34
its trademark silent
1:57:37
grin. And
1:57:39
we'll see. Oh. Oh.
1:57:42
Oh. That is amazing. That's
1:57:44
crazy. So creepy. What
1:57:47
a creepy ass image. That's
1:57:50
really messed up. It's always
1:57:52
horrible to go into a nightmare place and
1:57:54
find a painting of you there. Yeah, yeah,
1:57:56
that's never good. It's
1:58:00
like going to an acquaintance's house and finding
1:58:02
that you have a picture of you on
1:58:05
their wall. It's very
1:58:07
weird with them just watching. And they've
1:58:09
photoshopped themselves into it like they're here.
