Session 157: The Price of the Prize

A demon trapped beneath Rainfall Keep becomes the RAIN’s chosen target. Steel and magic decide the fight, and power is claimed in its aftermath. But demons are patient things—and victories like this tend to echo. What has been gained…  and what might remember their names?

Are magical. Just in case. Preview starts. All the holidays are over and we are back. We are back. We're going to try to have you guys continue going beyond first level. Yay. Will is enthralled by the spinning dice. Very good. oh it's so close to it was just the new bookshelf has given us cat energy look at all those shiny pretty things that would be great, you guys did your recap for say he's arguing your last seven Eris is back caught up with where he was yeah supposed to be there. So we will just begin. You all were, downstairs down on the second floor, basement, standing in front of the barrier to the third floor that is just radiating this heat off of it from the Baelor. And he is egging you on. Come on. Wait it so long. Don't you want to spoil the rest of your abode? Don't you want to be really loving me down here? He thinks we're ready to do this? Jam real fast if you would actually just turn off the air purifier. Of course. so no problem. Mine won't be too bad. You can either conquer me and be a hero, or die in a quick, painful death. One more could be slow. I don't know what I'm feeling right now. I think he would be a good tribute for Ronan. Hello. Oh, Reggie appears behind you. Reggie? What's up? Why are you down here? How'd you get past that big hole? There's a path across. I remember it was just invisible. He could see all the special eyes. You're gonna have to show us that on the way back. But yeah, what are you doing at it, buddy? Someone's in the castle right now looking for you all. Did you get their name? No, I'm not supposed to be seen, remember, without my hat. What did they look like? Does that guy have my hat? No. No. I mean, he might. Doubtful. I do have no hat. No, listen. Oh. Well, that guy can wait. What did the person look like upstairs? A halfling. Small little fellow looked really beat up. Said the dwarves in town sent him this way. Just walked in, too. So he's just kind of walking around up there. I didn't greet him, if that's what you wanted. No. Do we know who this is? And then, Nadia, you just hear the very faintest of... Hello? Anyone? you want erish you feel a hand on your shoulder and raven pops up and i send my familiar eyes and ears up to see what the heck's going on there is a small little halfling that is, currently just like looking around like corners and like just kind of like Hello? I don't mean any harm. I'm sorry for intruding. I just... There was nobody here to let me in, but the dwarves, they told me to come and find you. Hello? The bird swoops down and is going to land right in front of him. Oh, my gosh. Kind of turned its head. Are you... You're not who I'm supposed to be finding here, are you? I'm in trouble. Aw. Kid. Um. I cough. I, um, uh, I don't, I don't think you'll be the help that I need, actually. Um, I'm sorry for intruding in your house. Um, your master's here, by chance? Does does one i don't recognize this halfling and do they look injured, clothes are a little scuffed beat up uh side of his face is kind of like swollen and bruised, um he's got some dried blood that's like on his clothes he doesn't look like ragged it looks like he's been healing for a little bit but healing on his own and kind of but looks beat up okay, I mean it literally takes us like two minutes to go back upstairs while I'm eyes and ears I'm narrating what I'm seeing I come back into my senses are you ignoring me? What do you all think we should do? I don't know. I mean, yeah, that's right. It literally took us like, how long did it take us to just walk downstairs? A minute? Only like two for one floor. Maybe two minutes? Should we go back up? We can go back up. I'll just leave the clothes in the dryer for a minute while we go back upstairs. That is really not an inconvenience is to go back up to the stairs. So I guess we go back upstairs. I knew you were a coward. I'm sorry for intruding. I'll see myself out. Sorry about that. Hold on. We're coming. No. My familiar starts flying around and kind of like hurting. The halfling away from the door oh oh alright I don't know wait I don't know wait, as we come out two minutes go by we walk up as you press from the first floor basement and up the stairs you are greeted with this small little halfling. Oh, that is more of what I was expecting. People, I'm sorry for barging in. You don't have any guards or anybody that was outside to show me in or anything. I'm not trying to intrude, I promise. I mean no threat to any of you. His hands are up, just kind of very showing, like submissive. The raven Flies over and I didn't mean it that way like Welcome to rain Non-threatening That's better Um, Yes hi um Name is is is Danjin Honghun, Sirs madams Sirs and madam Not madams cause you know Sorry Are you alright, Well, I've seen better days, for sure. But I was looking for some assistance from B'war. Well, I went into Arnkith to inquire for some assistance from the dwarves, but they said that they did not find my plea meaningful or worth their time. But there was someone nice enough to appoint me to your lovely work-in-progress keep here, and that you, adventurous, could maybe be some assistance. Rambling, sorry. I'm a merchant. My trade I was on my way from Eden over to Nornwich when me and my guards were passing the White Woods when some highwaymen came and ambushed us. My guards, they didn't make it. I'm lucky enough to survive myself, but they— What was it that attacked you? Animals, old people, but they were savages. Highwaymen, I assume, were just a solid merchant on their own, with a few gods, and found me to be easy prey, which, or drunk, I guess. Listen, they took all of my belongings, but I don't really care about any of those. They can keep them, to be honest, or if you do help me with my plea, you all can help yourself to anything that is still intact that they haven't destroyed or used. So if they've killed your friends and you don't want your belongings back, what are you hoping to get from us? Well, there is one. A necklace. It does happen to be a gold necklace with a relatively nice diamond attached to it, which I don't care about at the momentary value. I've grown from those types of things, but it is the last thing that my daughter had given me. I wasn't a very good father, and she always sought for my attention, and that was her way that she finally gave me something I would keep. I would trade that for her life back and all the macaroni art she could make again but I just want the necklace back Insight Chuck you want to do it? Yes please do it I was typing one I'm upset and walked away from the Bay Award I'm not paying attention. I mean, this guy could be an agent sent from the Bay Award to trick you, I guess. I was kind of thinking about that kid in the basement. Did you kill him? I promise, I mean, I would have gone to the bandits myself and asked for the bag, but I don't see them wanting to give that back anytime soon, no matter the sentimental value that it has on it. They see that it is worth a good amount, but that's all I want, is just the necklace back, right? I had relatively good wares. I had a few magic items for trade. You're welcome to have them all. I do not mind. I just need the necklace back. Did these bandits have any identifying features? Clothing, marks, emblems, tattoos, haircuts? Hats. Hats. Shoes. Do you have a coordinates or location of when this happened? One question. Magic socks. Give a persuasion battle him, Just dressed like a baseball team. Thirteen. It was a little bit foggy. They hit me upside the head first. Something smelled awful from them. Like they hadn't bathed in weeks. They smelled like animals, but... I awoke, I just, maybe it was their animals they had, because I heard barking and this and that, and my gods, they were torn to shreds, almost like they were half eaten. I don't know why they left me. I woke inside the carriage, Their carriage? No, mine. So they killed all your guards but they left you alive? For some reason, yes, there's one insight check too many uh you can someone else can give it a go, three all right there we go two sides of the spectrum. It's because you say you said it oh they're autistic. Yeah i'm autistic no you're not you uh a hundred get from this guy you get from this guy um issue you are just like. You're you're just like staring at him just like staring fucking daggers through this guy because the last child that you... I'm still wondering if that kid's okay. Yeah. He's all right. And you're just like... Evaporated. Trying not to get duped by any means. And you're looking at him and you don't sense any ulterior motives. You don't sense anything trap from him. You sense that he is just asking for help. He's got nowhere else to go. He said he went to the dwarves in town, and they were just basically like, yep, that's the life of a merchant. That happens. You get robbed. Suck it up. Or you've got to pay us right now to go and help you, and he didn't have anything on him to pay them immediately. He's asking like good faith of like you guys can have anything that they that they took um does this feel like something that could wait till tomorrow. While we take care of business today. Unfortunately, I'm not in the position to help anyone. I need to find something of my own first. Um, I'm just afraid. I could wait, sure. I just am... I don't want them to leave. I don't want them to go somewhere else and be hard to find again. We have our ways of finding people that we need to find. Uh you find that best then then i have no choice i am at your mercy, uh question how good of an artist are you where where are we what's what i'm sorry i just don't remember we're like in our we're in our key but like what city are we in arnke, arnke so it's just north of arnke in the white woods you're right here not far away, we could pay for him for a night at the inn in Artenkith I'll ask Red Raven, and see if he can get anything, while we deal with this for at least the hour see if he knows of any groups attacking caravans on, whatever that road is our problems just tend to snowball and I wouldn't have that to happen before we finished your business Yes, three kill. They're not problems, they're opportunities. I like your perspective, Ishii. DM rolling? You don't have to raise your hand. Yeah, go ahead. It's just easier. For locate object, describe or name an object that is familiar to you. If another person is describing it well enough to me and or draws a picture or something, eventually, would that count as being familiar to me? Make you roll a check for it. Like right now? When you cast his ball. after he would, I guess, draw his picture and yeah. Very heavily describes it. Cool. I relate that mission information. I think I can find it for you, but I'm going to need a very heavy description of it. And then if you can draw a picture so I can visually see it, that would help. And then I got a spell that could aid us. So even if we waited a day, we'll be able to track them. You got my word. And then I want to put my hand on his shoulder and then i want to heal him for five okay he seems beat up you watch the swelling of his face go down. Um thank you uh okay i i i can do that um, yes um do you have anything of that i can write on and draw this this picture on um i i can Aerith, I can probably do you one better, with your permission. Oh. Mm-hmm. There we go. With your permission, I can go through your thoughts and see the necklace that you're describing. And I can convey those thoughts to my friend, so he can locate exactly the object you were looking for. Well, sure, if you think that that will work, I'm down for it. Is that going to be painful, is it? Not at all. I won't forget the necklace, will I? Absolutely not. All right, then, you can give it a try. I just don't prefer to rifle through the minds of others without their permission. They're kind of you. But that would need to wait. Potentially until later. Either way, we can get it done. We should be done within the hour. If you want to just wait here. Hour and a half, tops. Okay, I can wait. Do you have a sitting room for me? Unfortunately, this is about it. We're still working on some renovations and stuff. Okay. Welcome to wait in the kitchen. There's a dining chamber. All right, I can occupy myself. If you don't mind my company being here. Of course not. Why? I don't even think we have anything worth stealing. Enrico walks off. I'll be back. I follow him. Okay. Okay. Good luck. What was his name again? Dan? Danjin. Danjin. Are you sure Dan? What was his last name? Hog Moon. Hog Moon. Why did I write down Tan? Tan? G-A-N-G-I-N. Dan. Gin. I'm picturing him like whatever happens in the basement. He's going to be in the kitchen. He just here. I mean, yeah. And we come back close our sear and we're like ashes and we're ready to go hopefully Jeeva went demonic for a moment. I walk over to Danjan and hold out my hand. It was a pleasure to meet you, Danjan. Oh, a pleasure to meet you, Arthur. I'm upset. We, I... There are no pleasantries to be had right now. I didn't get your name. I'm sorry. I feel very rude being in someone's house. I don't know the... My name is Nadia. Nadia is... Nice to meet you. You as well, Danjan, and thank you for your patience. Yeah, yes. So you guys are going to go back downstairs yep and the raven's going to and like sit, like on another the back of another chair not too close to dungeon so he's not freaked out but clearly like there to keep him company slash keep him sure, yep could have also sent the raven to the woods to see a victim find people, she got to concentrate on it just concentrate on this but we can just, it'll be fine I don't even know if we actually is Reggie close by? He is down on the first floor in our keep we'll say it too actually it's like all of our stuff, but as soon as we do pass him I just want to really be like you know keep you don't have to he doesn't have to see you but keep an eye on our friend upstairs, he seems cool but yes sir i can do that thanks buddy and then i offer a fist bump. I know there's nothing in your palm so good day we'll keep working on that buddy well you told him to prank so he thinks you're franking down don't look at some point all right now we're gonna put a little pause here we'll do some initiatives and stuff i'll get things ready, and we will continue to go beyond first level. I want to cast Elemental Weapon. Okay. And I want to take a deep breath. And then blow on my sword. But then it's like a very cold, like, even in here, it's cold. And my sword... Ishi, you want to tell him? Yeah, he told us before that he's resistant to cold. Resistant to cold. My bad. I thought it was half-famish. It's not Final Fantasy. I heard... I thought it'd be... I thought weakness. Yeah. Weakness. Yeah, you would assume. But, yeah. So, you don't... I will let you redact that because Ishii rolled a nat 20 when he did his lore on the Baelor. Do we know what would hurt him? He has no vulnerability. He has no vulnerability. But is everything resistant? Is anything normal? So it's just cold and lightning are resistant. Fire and poison immune. Not taking anything. Just laughing. Regular slashing. That's why. Bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing have to be from a magical weapon. If it's non-magical, it's resistant. so he'll take half yeah sure i'm all non-magical right now darn i prepped like two ice based, so all right so again weakness again he said that the day before okay yeah so what could you do like real quick elemental still works because. Resistance to everything or was it just like i just said you can put on the lightning that's it cold lightning and fire i can still do other stuff with elemental weapon yeah like thunder Necrotic Thunder. Yeah. Like that. Yeah. You can do any other things. You'll do, what, an extra D6 or something on top? You wouldn't want to do cold. You wouldn't want to do lightning. And you definitely don't want to do fire. Yep. Then I'll switch it to Thunder. So as long as there's something you can. Okay. So still flavoring it just because I can. Yep. I want to just smack my sword against the ground. And then it just starts heavily vibrating in my hand. You said poison too, right? And poison. Yeah. I just didn't think poison was an option for elemental weapons. Sure. Can you say it? Sorry, that just matters to me. I know. That's fine. Aris smacks the sword up against the ground. A little bit of rocks and debris kind of comes down and vibrates. Yeah. For the audience that is watching the TV show that is the rain, your bird kind of ruffles their feather. Dan Gan is kind of just like, What was that? They did have important stuff to do down there first. Maybe I should wait outside. The only line to bird ever says, You don't want to miss this. it's 11 he said that line, you guys took your potions the fire resistant yep I don't even remember what that does but yes it gives us fire resistance for 10 minutes, shit it was on you guys you gave us the scrolls potions. Maybe I'm in it. I went to Minecraft. Put in D&D. When you drink this potion, you gain resistance to fire damage for one hour. Oh, that makes. Makes you feel a little bit better. So, you bought four. You drank him. He smacked his weapon. Barrier's still up. Vavor. Yes, please do. you've done your best and be ready for your annihilation. But you know that your sacrifice brings the material plane, that much closer to my role. So thank you, the plane thanks you all. Oh, come on. Bring that barrier down. Let us meet face to face. Do you know how it works? If I did, would I really be here? Well, I thought maybe you knew how it worked, but you're on the other side, so then you can't do it. I assume you hit it hard enough And it will break From your side Or if one of you is a wizard That can dispel it. So we're still on the other side of the door currently Can I investigate the door? That's no way to solve your problem And go up and look at It's his Befriend And what he said was Either you guys can do an arcana check or you can attack it and try to just break it. I'm going for the Archonage. Yeah, so go ahead and give me an Archonage. 26. It really just plopped down. I know, it really just did a flop, but I'm not mad about it. So, first try for Nadia. And she goes up to it, and as soon as, like, just her hand touches it, you watch, it shatters like glass. We did it. She lied. Now. Please, come down. as you can usher me in to my new kingdom, you walk down the stairs readying bringing out weapons shields whatever you guys choose to have readied and you stand on this molten rock, surrounded by Riku would have dropped his cloak before walking down the stairs if it was all flaring. A lot of lava. Okay. A lot of lava around. You feel this heat just emanating from everywhere. From him as well, but just everywhere. I guess you don't want to be my servants. Ah, blades at the ready. Oh, well. Then who wants to get this party started? Nadia looks over toward Aishi. Riku? Oh, look at me. You're up. So as he says he wants to get this party started, Riku, you having no powers, you being weak right now, you just get this urge of... I have to do something. Could I have casted a spell also on the way down? We got some spell, sure. Do you want invisibility? I can do it on two people. If you're running. No. Okay. No. Is distance distance? Yes. The distance is distancing. How much is between us then? We look quite far. So from you. Does that say the number to you or now? No. It is 100 feet, 120 feet. It's all small shit that is pretty hands in five this is cool um, hmm how far is it i guess from here because i'm not going to test the lava on that i don't i shouldn't uh give me a how far is 60 foot can i get like a 60 foot like from here so from him to 60, is two squares in the lava uh can 60 reach like over here or like over here you know what i mean yeah yeah i see what you're trying And. So this little area, 60, and it looks like this is just 60. Yeah, right here is just 60. So like I... Just crawl right here. The length of your arm over the edge is just the... You can be hanging over the lava a little bit. How much movement is from here to here? Yeah, Jesus Christ, this is just far. 60? The long one. Okay, that's fine. i'm gonna do that then i will bonus action dash so i'll have up to 90 um having this spell scroll already in my hand i will open it up revealing just a regular fuma shuriken and i will throw it at him so i have to make a regular attack which i will have advantage since i'm making an attack for him he would be surprised at all no not surprised but uh 10 11 12 30 40 15 16 18 hit, No. No, I didn't think so. Sorry. He needs to make a dexterity saving throw because as the first one goes over his face, he sees that there's a second shuriken about to hit him. So he needs to make a dex throw of 16, or he will take 46. That'll be an 11. But this is still technically a magical. I was going to say, This is a saving throw against a spell. He has advantage, actually. One, that would be 13. But the other one was higher. Slashing. How much? 13 slashing. It's magical right yes yeah yeah because that was the spell i was going to say you know exactly, my regular things would not be all right so you watch as you stand there and he's who wants to get this party started you a wind blows by you and you all kind of turn and there is where riku was nobody you turn back and see riku dashing across jumping over that lava and skidding to a stop pulling out this spell scroll you watch as two shurikens go flying out from it uh i guess one flying out from under it and about halfway you notice that there is a second one underneath it as the first one goes over his head and the Bailord doesn't even move. Doesn't flinch, doesn't anything. The other one goes in and sticks directly into his chest, at which point you watch as he just, flames erupt from it and it kind of begins to melt and drip the metal off of him as he just like burns it to nothing. Metal AF. Just move i guess over here is there anywhere to hide doubtful not particularly not really the the two in the middle so so this is a huge here and here there are like mounds of molten rock so i mean like technically you can get behind like there's there's some like height to them, but here these are just paths that no not to hide but like if you get over to here some sick backhand springs back and stay proud that gives you 30 feet right yeah you know whatever, just to get some more distance away and then I will draw my katana since we were starting armed, okay you brought your katana depending on how this ends we can open a Asana charge people low spa day. Baby that ends my turn. Next. Warlock is hot springs. So you're the first to have courage and fast to die. Yikes. And it gets it has to be hot as oh yeah it would have to be extremely fucking hot he's got 80 feet obviously, of course of movement you weren't in the start of his turn so you don't take 40 feet you don't take the fire aura 30, But he makes two attacks. One with the sword and one with the whip. 17. So, we'll see how this goes. And the reactions. Lightning, no reaction. 25. Oh. I think that would hit. Let me check. Yeah. And 26. Yeah, that's higher than 25, so yeah. Maybe we should just let him out. I'm within 60 feet of recal. Of recal? I don't think so, because I moved back and forth. Do you have candy dogs? You are literally 60 feet. Silvery barbs. I'm only in the third. I saw you got it at third. No, I don't know much about it. You get to use some class at third. I'm thinking a dog. 19. 19 hit you no yes yes 19 still hits thank you though no I'm not fuck you can't do it I can't do anything I am effectively a third level rogue with lots of equipment and a little bit of health fluff, alright I'm going to I have 102 health that's a lot of health for a third level rogue that's what I said that's what I said I was like a third level rogue with a lot of health and a lot of stuff, we'll see how this goes and resistant to fire damage right now I was just about to do that and you guys did anybody resistant to good and evil on me I thought did we talk about that I don't know if we did it I mean, okay that's fine if you wanted then yes I would have done that okay what does it do, I feel like it I don't know if I thought it would give him disadvantage I don't actually think so but then that's fine Uh... Oh, wait, they do have just advantage on attack rolls against the target. Okay. You also can't be charmed, frightened, or possessed by it. That's nice. Okay. So then, yes. Aberrations, Celestials, Elementals, Fae, Patrons, and Undead. So, I don't know. What was that one more time? Aberrations, Celestials, Elementals, Fae, Patrons, and Undead. So, it might not. He's a fiend. Yeah, they thought they'd say fiend. on mine protection from good and evil it does say fiend but i don't know if it's like a paladin different thing wait did you say good and evil or evil and good protection from evil and good okay yeah that's what mine says why are they different i mean it could be just like a yeah there is an ability his paladin so i would say issue would know that saying that he was the one that did it so eras if you wanted to burn the spell slot beforehand to put you hang on one let me double check something. I can't because it's a concentration and I can't cast two concentration spells at one time. So would you rather cast that or elemental weapon? Oh, I wouldn't have been able to hold it either. I would have raged. Oh, it's concentration? Or if you don't cast it and... I will say no. Yeah, you're good. He's grinding the straws here, you know, a big 10-foot dude with a sword and a whip. Riku, do me a favor instead and give me a strength saving throw. Strength? That sounds gross. We would have done this instead. Good for me, 12. All right. So if we, giving you guys the opportunity to change it after reading the entirety of the attacks and stuff, I'm going to change it just a little bit. So he moves like about 10 feet forward. And then you watch as the whip. Whips around your leg and he yanks it, yanking you. Oh, that's awesome. towards him but not since it's me so fly you fool, which that's you use the silvery barbs on the attack on that attack um attempt so as you, get pulled towards him uh and it doesn't say that you are prone or anything it just says you were pulled 25 feet towards him so it's difficult though so like you catch yourself, at which there is just a sword already going back and just, hitting you, electrocuting you. I already did the resistance on fire. And you will take 54. That's everything. That's fine for, that's fine for now. It's slashing lightning. That's all of this flashing. And then I did half the fire fire should have been 10, but I did it to five. Great. Yep. good. We have the lowest one. Good. Hey, you know. Good. Well, also remember he does the, he has the aura and stuff, uh, which is fire damage. So if you are within, uh, his aura, you'll take fire damage. Which one's his or how big is his or so uh five feet from him that's a lot closer than i expected biggest heat he's fucking huge he's goddamn ginormous he's big he's a huge bit does he have reach the whip has a reach of 30 feet so like are we always the long sword has a reach of 10 feet so are we always just like in his zone then you know what i mean like to get opportunity attacks like if we move out from 30 feet is that when we get an opportunity attack you know what I mean, if we move within 5 feet and then move away normally that's opportunity attack since he has reach and all that shit can we freely move within 30 feet of him without opportunity attacks until we're leaving his reach at 30 feet, if that makes sense yeah, I guess so like the perimeter is 30 feet not the usual 5 yeah I'm just trying I guess we would also be an opportunity for the sword when we leave the 10th, just think about how you move. What is happening oh that's nice if a weapon has a reach of 10 feet does it have disadvantage when you're inside of that yes, get behind him but he's got a sword stay underneath him I don't know if it would go all the way to 30 feet or if it would just go to 10 feet, that's probably something I looked up it says uh Opportunity attack is 5 feet, but extends to 10 feet if you're using a weapon with the reach property. Does the whip have the reach property? I mean, it just says reach of 30 feet. Okay, so then the long sword says reach 10 feet. So it sounds like 10 and 30. Because you gotta think of people with a bow. Isn't gonna do an opportunity attack? They don't have... Opportunity attacks are just... That is also a great point. Yeah, it's melee. You immediately debunked. But he has reach. But the whip is a melee weapon. With reach of 30. So, if that says a reach is normally with 10, I'd say... Basically, we're tucked. I'd say the 30, probably. Anyway, we're taking enough time. We have to ammo dump everything into it. What are you doing? How far is right here? Yeah, I know. He's moved. He moved up, remember? Exactly. I have to burn a whole turn to see it over there. That is 35 feet. It's pretty far. From that edge, very edge of the 35 feet. And this is 45 feet to get to that edge. Cool. And then from there, how far away is he across the lake? He is 30. That is a 30? He is 30, but you have to spend 45 to get there. Gotcha. I want to move in that direction towards Riku. That's me. 30 feet? Mm-hmm. What hero? Then bonus action. Misty step. Another 30. as close as possible. Free action, I want to pull out my elemental water gem. You should have already had it down? I had my stuff out. Yeah. Okay, so you had your shield and your sword already out. Oh, gotcha. You had to put something down. That's fine. Drop my sword for now. Okay. In my spot. Free action then. Pull out elemental gem. And then throw it, smash it in front of Riku. And in between Riku and the giant demon guy. And then I want to summon a elemental water elemental and that's the second one good job good job those were forever ago that was forever ago, still sorry I didn't get the fire ones sorry I would have been useless here yeah. I doubt the water would be any different but hey man it's something unless it starts hitting me then I'm going to be upset, from what I remember it will target a enemy of us until there's nothing left and then it will tower yes so yeah i'm hoping it'll be dead before then he yeah he when he used it the first time there was nothing left yeah that's right and it went after you guys, um but okay that water elemental is there so i have no control over it yeah so basically it has its own initiative as we try more deal so i would have just told it that he like called it a bad wet loser or something i'm hoping this is like gang violence fire against water he'd be like it's on site, it's on site. Shit, what. Does ammo dump everything we got into it well paper bombs are minor so that's kind of upsetting force damage, songs are finally that's okay uh my heart rate just went up i will have it just attack right after you just so it's basically shares your initiative yay what it's attacking you again, oh no no no my nail went off yeah i was like what. I saw your panic, he was about to start I was thinking of Ari he was about to start just confirm I just want to reach over neither of its attacks hit it classic as the suit as the water pseudopods like go out after it you watch the water just steam and evaporate away. It eats. Nadia. All right. How far am I from it? You guys are like five feet different than what Eris goddamn was. You don't remember either. I got a lot to remember. It's so far. 90. Yeah, I barely have 90 feet. I need my bonus action though I need all my things I know Is that a bonus action? Yes I'll literally just be running this turn So you guys do the stuff you got, I'm going to be doing it If I lose 30 feet I'll be in 60, I'm not going to be able to get all the way over it Okay. We should have held initiative and just waiting for him to come to us. Oh, nervous. Okay. Cowards live. Free action. I'm going to pull out the Ren in my offhand. I know it could have already been out, but as I pull it, I'm going to spin my blade and use my bonus action to invoke blade song. Okay. So that is up, which boosts my AC and my speed. Then I'm gonna start running along this rock's edge and, as I do I'm gonna cast invisibility with my action and I have 40 feet of movement that gets you there that's 40 feet yeah. I am invisible there and, that went my turn okay there's a yay is she, um that's you i dash as far as i can get 60 feet you're actually dashing yeah that's what that is, if the lava isn't too deep and I can cut corners by mold or thing little steps up from beneath the lava then I would do that but I don't it doesn't look like there would be anywhere to do that, I could just jump around this gap jump the gap. I will give that to you yeah so like bonus action little motor old molder stepping stone yes i will give that to you it puts you right there for 60. Not bad and then so are we gonna take damage from like the environment, if you end your turn in lava yeah probably okay i just want like just or if we go and i say end your turn but like if you just like walk in it yeah but it doesn't seem like standing on the red stones beyond her. Okay. I was just wanting to know. No, the fire resistance I'm going to take as like you don't, the heat is not bothering you. It's hot, but like not enough to do. Okay. It's fire resistant potions. It's totally a magic weapon, right? Yeah, that's it. It's hot. He said that. He is, he just imbues. I am, gotcha. Yeah. It to be magic. And now it's just normal. Yeah, just an all over magic all the time that I just do to myself. Gotcha, gotcha. You got anything else, Ishii? That's it. Okay, done, kick a rock at him or something. That's it well I mean you use your action to dash, a bonus action rage well bonus action would have been to do more so, is it unless you think i can just jump that gap and then i can reach you can jump far as fuck because you're strong that's only a like a seven foot gap and you were running so yeah i would say okay well i don't probably there and then i'll worry i'm just worried am i gonna get hit and You're going to get hit. Oh, Rich. Okay. Give me like two seconds. You'll get hit. Now, does your rage end at the beginning of your turn if you haven't made an attack? Or is that the end of your turn if you haven't been hit or made an attack? I don't remember. Riku. I can miss out. Riku will disappear. Shelf right next to you, Kelly. Yep, the one you're looking at. Down. No, down. Down. So i believe it's the end of your turn, that you haven't been hit yeah if you haven't been hit or made an attack but you guys will keep rolling yeah as of now i rage will disappear into a puff of black smoke after just saying i'm not magical it's my boots uh then i will be 20 feet in the air above where i'm at i guess back a little bit uh like 30 feet back ish like up and back uh and i will be pulling another spell scroll out with my hand okay excuse me with my left hand because my guitar is in my right hand um summoning another fuma shuriken and i will throw it making my attack roll and when he does he holds you see riku hold his left hand out which is weird he like holds the hose ah that's gonna be a 10 which is not going to hit as the shuriken flies past his face riku will pull and there's going to be a little line that goes to the shuriken and it will explode and all four blades will be shooting out of it so it needs to make a dexterity saving throw of 16 and even, well so we'll take so again he just stands there. How much damage uh eight slash magical so that's all of it and then that's all of it i will move back backwards 40. Deep about here. And then it's my turn yep yeah i don't know that too i think i'm good, it would be the end of my next year that it would end so perfect, people should write names after that wow, i'll give you that you have spun i love you. He will take his whip and attack the water elemental with the whip, what does which will hit to release potensis a little bit uh water elemental will do the strength saving throw, I'm hoping it at least survives two rounds. So it fails a strength saving throw. I healed myself. Doesn't have any muscles. And the play just like goes through him. Okay, so it says tour. So what it'll do actually is. So it can whip it and pull it over the lava. Opportunity attack? If the range of them, sure. Out of the range of the elemental? Sure. Something. Is it a 1 or a 20? That is a 20. Hey, that's good for us. It had a scary ghost on it. And I was like, either better. Is this good or bad? Is that a 1 or is that a 20? What's the high score? For me or bad? I'm panicking, decent attack i'll get you your power buddy no i'm just gonna swing a sword he's doing exactly what it's worth can i reach him while he's over there i mean you can just fucking jill ball him we need to right, yeah that's so much less i know he needs to swing a sword dude. Oh perfect oh perfect yeah he goes like what I was gonna have him do is he's gonna fucking whip and then like fling him but like it says like the whip pulls that towards I'm just like okay he's got enough movement to just fucking, like what's it matter so he just like he just does like you watch him just kind of glide just for a second amid glide he fucking, whips the elemental into the lava that's terrifying and then glides in In front of Ishii in the lands. If I wasn't being super cool and raged right now, I'd definitely be looking up at him in the Willem Dafoe meme. Yeah. Okay. Oh, I am. Okay. And then he will do the lightning sword against Ishii. Which is a 24. Is that this is? Yeah? No. So you will take... Uh 21 13 so 34 total damage and then half it since you're raging it's it's so intense so i love that so did he also use fire was just like it was just the lightning so he used the fire whip against the water elemental so all he had was the 21 slashing damage plus 13 lightning damage that's great for you. Oh yeah, it's not. Let's only just get a lot of rent. Yeah. Yeah, I was hoping you were. Free action, pick up my sword again. I can try as hard as I can. I want to move up right next to Ishii. And then at fourth level, I want to cast Guardian of Faith and plant it right behind the Fae. Fiend? fiend yeah i don't know why i said that a large spectral guardian appears and hovers for the duration of the unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within range the guardian occupies that space as in this indistinct except for a glaring sword and shield embezzled as a symbol of your deity okay so basically it's like giant floating spectral guardian person uh any creature hostile to you that moves to a space within 10 feet of the guardian for the first time on a turn must succeed on a dexterity saving throw. The creature takes 20 radiant damage on a failed save or half as damage on a cassetful one. The guardian vanishes after it's dealt 60 damage. So it's basically just like a... It's like a turret. It's just like a turret for opportunity to attack. Yeah. Okay. And you moved up right next to Dishy? Yes. You said? Okay. And then I put it right behind. Yeah. But I also think if it's in range, it still attacks too. but if it moves within it'll make an opportunity attack as well well it sounds like it doesn't just attack. Occupies the space any creature hostile to you that moves to a space of the 10 feet uh for the first time on a turn must succeed on dexterity yeah so like he's like just because you saw me that like he's not he hasn't moved yet so like he doesn't just make the attack yet, oh we'll get him but when he moves then it will attack uh is that in your turn though yeah that was an action yeah bonus actions can't do much well actually can there's no throwing shit from across the room. So Ishii, Eris moves up right next to you, and you watch as he summons a spectral flag in his hand, plants it right in front of him, and you watch as in the magma, this streak just goes underneath the Baelor, and behind him out comes this sword and shield, this radiant light sword and shield that appears behind him. Uh eras can't do much more than that but you've also got uh something that can get hit besides you next to you sorry nadia, okay it moved i'm somewhere around here-ish i need to get within 30 feet of it. That is... Hang on, actually, let's check that one. Yeah. So that is actually 30. Or you can go closer to the other side. No, I can sit there. No, no, no. Keep me further. That's great. She said, I don't want to get close. I mean, you wouldn't technically. You'd be just as close. I know. It's 30, but yeah, yeah. He doesn't care. He's got 80. What a jerk. I'm going to move up there and Nadia would start chanting an incantation and making some hand symbols and it's going to cast doom of destiny. Scary. That's not scary. As she casts that spell, the invisibility would drop, but hopefully she's considered hidden unless he has true sight and can see through my invisibility. Um you have magical ambush don't you it's because i had magical ambush so we'd have disadvantage on the saving throw um true scent 120 feet he does bummer i was like because i was like unless he's got true side because he could he could definitely have true scent 120 feet. What do we get for beehive level so as you as you like come up to him and you begin to cast you're just like cool you just watch as like as you start like doing your incantation you watch as his eyes just go and whip towards you and you're just like ah fuck and you cast your spell cast it anyways um. And shadows would kind of pour off of me and like form snakes and the snakes would go toward him as i cast it and he needs to make a uh charisma saving throw, have you smart feel so high are fiends good at that that is a 23 i mean he's like a leader of okay you get a plus 12 to charisma saving i feel like fiends are yeah very charismatic he's got no plus to his dexter what's this time i noticed that like spells i had to choose from with constitution or charisma. And I was like, he's got a... Plus 12. I was like, he has to have amazing constitution. No way. Strength is 14. Yeah. Plus 14. He's like a general of like demons, right? I was really hoping for that disadvantage. So he passed. Does he still take anything? Nope. Nope. Nothing. That's it. Nothing happens. Absolutely nothing happens now. I know. That's the big gamble with all of my good spells. Do. He also has advantage on all magical. I know. So I was hoping it was going to be an even. all magical saving throws advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects I got one more scroll oh I'm not done oh that was, my bonus action, I'm not within 60 feet can I get within 60 feet of free kill. Remember he's got 30 feet opportunity attack I had a fact done. Oh. Well, remember, Riku's 20 feet up in the air. Oh, yeah, I would know that because I can see you gloating. Yeah, Riku's 20 feet up in the air. I do that, yeah. And you've done that before where you've moved to him when he's up. Which he has moved a dagger, so you're not going to take his pants down in front of this Beylor. Yeah, my dagger will fall right out. We've planned for this. Planned for this. Shit. I should have to use this. Damn. And i i'm not gonna be able to like hide anywhere just lay on the ground, i don't know right play dead do you know you're not a chameleon you can just blend into the red well he has true sight that's not invisibility that's well what is true sight doing you can't hide oh yeah good bonus action dash i will use more of my movement to come this way okay that'll get you here for 30 that's fine and i'll stay there okay. Dishy is up. Alright. You guessed it. I'm going to attack him a bunch of times. So, I will use Reckless Attacker. Oh, he's... He's all in. Well, it's like, I can Reckless Attack and get advantage on eight attacks. Oh, yeah. And he can get advantage on two, too. Which, which, if, like, you guys have seen, like, now he gets a plus 14 to hit. Yeah he's probably hitting he's probably hitting alright so here's the first one do you have advantage or are you only able to want to do 20, do you have advantage only 20 27 I don't know if that hits uh yes so oh yeah you guys haven't hit him yet no I haven't even you haven't hit his AC yet fuck you, no no I've just you've been doing damage he's been knocked on me he's been not dodging, he's just been not dodging 32 yeah looks like he's too big to move fast uh 31 yeah this is impressive 25 at the lowest uh-huh 31, that's 5. I've been taking damage on purpose luck dies right, damn it no I mean you know it's up to you what is it a 19 a 19. Can I use that? I'm not going to use another like that. It hits. Just hits. I was going to say, I got an 8. Fuck. It's upsetting. Ah! That one. I mean, you think you're going to beat 104 damage? Luck die. Do it. You haven't got any crits yet, though. Fuck. No, that one's an 18. Yeah, it's falling off. And then that was... We're falling off here. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. He wants a crit he wants a crit, he wanted a crit so he could put all his fucking thing his damage dice on him, well I can only put two on an attack max that one I would have four on it and they're max right, so wait don't you have a thing that all your crits now auto crit on dying or am I thinking that wrong what the fuck did you just say, when he rolls a 20 all of his superiority automatically max because he's a feed my superiority is their max the answer to your question is yes so, let him cook just a couple seconds of silence right so that's 7 hit 1 was a 20, so I have 5 superiority so I used 2 of them on the last one 3 of them just spread throughout. So that's 30. And then I used two on the last one. Which gives you four. Which gives me four. So another 40. And then I need to actually roll. And then hang on. And then real fast. Rage. Rage on eight attacks. 14. Eight attacks? I missed one. Sorry i'm sorry so there's that and then plus seven per attack so seven times seven is 40 49, yeah it's good chairs uh 133 so before any damage dies are rolled 4-1-3, that's disgusting question actually no never mind that's with the damage dice never mind plus ones from the swords that'll be part of that, that's what we just did, did you do that plus in there or no it's part of you can add the plus 7 now that was what I just did that was in 49 okay, Oh, yeah, you did. You did say seven times seven. That's actually garbage. Out of all those, I only got 28. Yeah, it's a lot of tits. It's a lot of tits. That brings us to, 164. So your overall 164. Hold on, I just forgot how to do that. One. One 61. Can you go this second? Go ahead and... I believe that is it. 161 why he's on our side. Yeah, so i'd start blasting, this is episode 157 i haven't come up with a name yet like i don't want you to have beat it right now but like that'd be funny no it's definitely not first time, You'd have to probably do that maybe another two times if you got another one in you. I do not. What was the damage? What did you say? 162? 161. 161. So didn't it just be it? Well, his last highest attack was episode 96, so 50 episodes ago. 60 episodes ago. 104 damage. Definitely for past that. We didn't. I think you could solo us three if we ever try to fight you. Don't let him think that. You guys have magic and shit. You can just hold person B. Well, not right now. Before he fucking takes this. Before he gets the dragon, you can take him. My chance. All right. So, as, Eris comes up to you and the crackle of energy Goes behind him for just a second The Baylor kind of looks behind him and sees This sword and shield Come behind him Turns around and sees you Just like amping yourself Just like, And You watch as he just kind of looks down At you. Get it your worst. Which you do. I'm going to give it my best. And just... I'm going to give you my mid. I'm going to give you my mid. Just starts hacking, slashing, and slamming onto this creature. Which... It does wince a little bit. From the, like... Power of getting struck and hit. Does kind of... Feel... The hit. But tries as best he can of keeping his cool and keeping his demeanor of, like, there's nothing. But you can tell, like, you did do obviously serious damage to him. That's right, Sun. Riku. During the midst of all those attacks, if Sunarashi would have looked up for a brief moment, he would have seen two more, surprise, surprise, fuma shuriken flying at uh this big lord which i will make my attack it's a one. So riko again holding both of his his hand out he pulls because that it just flies right past him and both of the fuma shuriken have strings on them now and where all of the glades just suit out again, so he needs to make another dex save, where this is 4. D6. Greenwich. 8. So he fails it. He's not dexterous. That would be 12 damage from all of the blades shooting out. Nope, you finish. 12. And sticking into him. That's it. That's all the attack does. Okay. And then, yeah, Riku just drops the model wire and backs up. And again, that ends my turn. And that is my last spell spell. Ishii, you take 70 fire damage from hitting him. 70? Yes. But you can half it. So 35 yes what do I take half of half, because I took a potion resistant to fire I'm also resistant to fire when I rage I'm going to say it's like advantage to where it's like you can't get double advantage, do you think I'm no I don't know that's exactly accurate Okay. It doesn't mean we have to like it, though. You don't stack disadvantages or advantages or resistances. A creature that touches the balor or hits it with a melee attack within five feet takes ten fire damage. And he touched it seven times. Uh but yeah that is my last spell scroll that's all i do two more fuma shuriken that were rigged with yeah so as as ishi is is slamming onto it you can see all of this uh molten magma is kind of like its blood is kind of who's huh i just did my math wrong i read 176 i was like wait a minute. I was watching you cook over there. I was like, wait. He burnt it. As he hits, all of this hot blood is splashing over him. You see it start to, sizzle and sting and mist and steam off of Ishii. Riku, kind of distracted by Ishii starting to multiple ways cook. Hitting and getting hot. Overthrows the shuriken, which is fine because he pulls the wire and have them, two blades, just stick into him. It is the Balor's turn. Ishii and Eris take 10 fire damage by being in its aura at the start of its turn, so Ishii took 5. We both take 5. We're about to do this, right? We can take the potion, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool. I'm just going to burn them right back. We just said that. We just talked about it. I've got it. Believe it yeah tell me rock man, here you swear oh that's that good yeah i don't want to swim we're not that we're just says angrily as i'm raging i don't know if i can talk I'm going to reach them. The dog. I get to where so he flies over. And you both, I guess, would get opportunity attacks if you want to use your reaction for it. Sure. And do I have that big thing? Oh, yeah, he does. I have a guardian. Yeah. So do you say it was just 20 damage like flat? As I said, I also don't. Yeah. Hang on. Any creature? He must make a dexterity saving throw the creature just takes 20 damage on a failed save and a half if on the six thousand one if they move on their turn yeah for the first time on their turn moving okay so that would be a fail so yeah it would be 20 okay and then if you guys want to do the opportunity attacks yes i said it uses your reaction i got 32 okay. 15 damage, 21 22, that's not the damage that was the two hit which I know okay. I don't think it's true. The glasses down on your nose. Mm-hmm. Is she 33 to hit? 32. No, he rolled a 33 to hit you. Oh, to hit me. Oh, yeah, I'll hit. He rolled a 19. That will indeed hit me. 7 regular damage, 3 radiant damage, and 4 thunder damage. I was reading the resistance, though. I just wanted to make sure. Yeah, I wonder what's going on with you right now. In case you could, like, swim in lava. Yeah, I don't think they stack. Well, it does have a ton of confusing paragraph in there. Quite understand. What are you at? Me? Yeah. 71. I'm fine. Busy? I mean. Yeah, but I already blew my whole load. Can't damage it like that again. I mean, you only blew... What? 60? Hmm? I don't know. 70? Because you got three dice to 30 and then doubled to 40. Because one way. Action surge, I go a whole nother four attacks. Oh, yeah. Is it too late to expand a spell slot to cast Divine Smite on them? Sorry about that. I haven't. I'm just rolling an extra D8 and expanding one spell slot. It's a melee attack. I know. I know. Yeah, yeah. Go ahead. Sweet. I probably upped mine by about 80%. Fair. Another four radiant damage. So 33 to hit you, which hits. So you will take... 25. Half of that. 25. And I need you to make a strength saving. Grouches. So you should be at 46. 58. 72 at 71 minus 13. I just did minus 25. Sorry. So. That would be a 29 you get a plus 4 33 I would hope that passed me too, So the whip whips around Ishii's torso and he just yanks. Ishii, you watch as rock forms around like the molten forms around his feet, basically like locking him in place. My plus four is just me putting my hand on. The mom. And and i think i did it he moves forward a little bit and pushes back and the fire whip just like snaps and then like reforms. Do that thing where you swing them over and slam them on the ground, like hulk does that to a loki guy yeah yeah can you imagine writing that though it's made of fire terrible that'd be the worst sorry it's half, just to have that mind it would just hurt a lot it'll hurt half as much as it normally would. He was still in the trouble bed. It seems like hell. What? Oh, and he's at the first time on his turn. Just kidding. Yeah, you can't like. I was like, he's just going to keep on keeping on, man. So then he will use the lightning sword against you as you don't get pulled. So he will fly back towards you with the sword out, just trying to impale you with it. He has advantage. Ooh, that was a bad call reminding me, but thank you. He did get a 20. Oof. If the Bailor's Squares are critical, it rolls damage dice three times. Can you... Uh, Silver Barbs. Silver Barbs. If i'm within am i in range of yeah oh yeah oh yeah you're right i was gonna say oh yeah right there if you're not just lying just so it's not another uh that's 13 plus 14 27, that's better than what it was you know that's really better uh big gang 34. So you watch as this sword is going straight for Ishii, and you watch as the lightning just gets bigger and starts to expand. This is going to impale through him. You watch as Nadia has a small little arcane energy burst across her, and it surrounds Ishii, shrinking the lightning sword back to its normal side, still getting hit impaled but nowhere near the size of what could have in pen pen. That's all not history right now is just watching this battle go down like a hawk I mean it would have done 34 times 3 it would have been 40 something, a little bit of bad time Eris, you are up. Okay. From where I placed the Guardian originally, am I within 10 feet of it? I don't know if I want to get back. Because it goes right here. Okay, so if I were to move within its range, would I get opportunity attack? Attacked on me? From the Demon Gun, not from the Guardian. If I were to circle him rather than actually trying to disengage. I'm trying to get close to him without provoking opportunity. You can you can always move in yeah but does moving sideways count as no. Then I want to do that kind of just like as close to the guardian as possible. What did he get into the Guardian do for you? I just want to make sure it's in range, so if it does move closer, it would attack him again. Gotcha. I have a turret, so... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Keep him in turret's range. Unless you have something with range, you can't hit it. Yeah. There's a lot of... Figured as much. So... And then also, I don't know why I did it out of order, but I want to lay hands Riku. Not Riku. Ishii, before I leave? I want to do 60 lay hands. Jesus! us nice keeping our damage dealer up really good. We're here to support you that was my action i'm gonna drop my sword, okay free action i'm gonna pull out my wand of paralysis okay what saving throw does that do uh constitution the constitution i looked it up before okay i just assumed like whole person it's weird, was it a person that's that's very different it's paralysis oh it's paralysis in the end not enough as Eris goes over to his turret uh, he sets his sword down to lean against this like, astral turn he's got and he pulls out this wand doesn't use it yet but he pulls it out so okay I use my action to heal. You're up. Where is, what would being within 20 feet look like? And are you still floating? I'll put that up. Yeah. Okay. 20 feet of Riku or 20 feet of the guy? The guy. I could have got you floating. You're 20 feet right now. I'm 20 feet right now? And how far am I from Riku? Whatever the hypotenuse of 60 and 20 feet up also though if you were to look at me and then like give me like a down gesture i would i like i can just go down right like i mean on your turn okay okay so so then no i'm still there, okay um bonus action uh nadia will pull her hand up and now she does the shadows, come up off the ground and she casts Shadow Blade. And as an action, she's going to throw the Shadow Blade and... 63? That sounds right. Dagger form to attack her. How far she went? We were trying to do the hypotenuse. Hypotenuse. Somebody get attacked. You were making your own attack? Yeah. Weren't you, Leslie? Yeah, if you weren't doing that, I thought I was. No. With my, uh, I cast Shadow Blade. I thought it mattered with how much distance she needed. No, because I have 40 feet of movement. Okay. Um. So, and this is just a normal spell. Or a normal attack roll. Twenty-four. Wait, twenty-three. That's all right. Okay. Oh my god, I hit it! Is she over there being a monster? I'm like, do I get sneak attack? Is she in melee with it? No? No, because he has reach. Okay. He moved away. He's definitely that close to me. He's being made to water. It's a legitimate strategy. I don't want to take away your turn to do that. Damn. Okay. Oh, that's pretty good, though. That's 14 psychic damage. Good. I don't. Honestly, I think it's worth it, because with your... was a sneak sneak attack or what's the one with extra damage I get a small 2d6 sneak attack oh. So Nadia as the shadows consume your attack, you watch as it hits him and just sticks and, he winces from it a little bit more than he was wincing from like Like Riku's not because of, you know, yours being like way more powerful, but she did some damage to it and it is trying like to, to hold it together and still have its presence about him. But like it is affecting it. All right. And I think I'm just going to. Let's get on my turn. Okay. Then if she... If you've got... An idea. So... Am I able to mold Earth up a platform in front of them that I could stand on? It'll put you above the logon, but yes. Okay. Probably shouldn't but it won't be the most greatest platform but you're a little cool spot it'll do its job i do it so one like wherever five feet in problem is, and you know calm out like i see you're running away, hop over onto my little platform and uh hit him uh try to hit him uh three times Luke is running away now. And, uh... I'll use Reckless. I'll take that as a good sign that he's hurting. He's Reckless. Fuck, goddammit. Luck time. Oh, there we go. Okay. 21. Or 22, sorry. 19. 32 3, or wait I can attack 4 times, yes 3 times as an action and 1 as an action because you are better than this and 25 all 4 will hit, How much are you going to do? On our next... If we ever do campaign two, we should all just do fighter barbarians. And then whatever his strategy was, just max out everything on the first enemy. I mean, that's normally the D&D. It's, you know, anime. It's, oh, you got to save the final biggest things for like the badly end. But it's like, for D&D, you want to use the biggest right away. Yeah. Try to end it. before it begins so you got to work up to the biggest thing 62 it's all school, that's true what was he's teetering. So as this platform appears in the lava she hops over to it and all three of your eyes are just like oh my fucking god this guy is crazy yeah that he is now just like over like on the small platform of lava uh, really, probably in thanks to uh the water elemental as the water elemental hit the fucking lava would have created like a platform, that he could have pulled and brought over uh to him what I guess I'll jump back to the the land, so I'm assuming I didn't move 30 you didn't you move 15 oh shit no I did have three attacks because I used bonus action to do waters, well like I did just say the water can be a platform that was there that you have to cross over to uh. I'm going to have him do an opportunity to attack as you go to hop, though. No, that's fine. With the whip. I figured. What do you get to do, maybe? Yeah, but he's over lava. I'm worried I'm going to just fall in lava. I know, I know, I know. That's nice. Uh, 16? No. Yeah, he rolled a two. Oh. So just being so close as he goes and tries to whip towards you, you watch as it, like, cracks right by you. Uh, and Riku, you are up. How far away am I? I'm still super far. How am I up right now? Uh, we moved here. Can you please, sir? Uh, he is 60-ish away from you. I mean, he's, he does stand, no, no, because yeah, he stands about 20 feet tall, so. You're 20 feet up, so. He's 60, I mean? Yeah. From his face. You had advantage against me with the. What it's all about play call good call, it's a 16 plus the numbers so uh then you'll take 16 plus 14 right yeah 25 and you half it and you make a strength saving throw. I don't think you're within 10 feet of me buddy uh that is, A 15. A 15? So then as the... Do I fail? Yes. Okay. I have an indomitable, so I get to re-roll it. Cool. He's like, did I fail? Fuck you! I didn't fail! Before you got too far in. So stop. Yeah. That is a 22. You need a 20. That's nice. Oh, yeah. Is that a one-spurce date kind of thing? Okay. Woo! So as the whip hits the ground, slams sideways, and it starts whipping around Ishii. He begins to pull. Ishii, your legs go out from under you, and you kind of hit the ground with your hands, and you just mold the earth to grip onto. As the whip just slides down your legs leaving these like black streaks of Baron Scorch down you and the whip goes flying back, and do make your way to your feet so we're not starting you on like the ground, you almost got me that time Riku. Okay unfortunately I'm not going to do a whole lot this time i'm going to uh can we might be able to just capitalize on his stuff bonus action take the potion right yeah okay i'm gonna take a greater health potion i don't know which whichever. I think that's the greater take it out and pop her it's just this there's no yeah that was pretty bad, 5, 6, 7. Oh. 5, 6, 7. That's a 7. 10, 11. Okay, cool. So, plus 11. I took 10 damage per hit. Right. Hitting him? Oh, it's 10. Okay. I already did 10, but you half it. So, we have to retreat a little bit to the Guardian, because that's an extra 60 damage. Well, now... Well, where is it? Is it, like, here? Right behind air like yeah right by airs it was also partially why I was like I probably shouldn't stay out here cause you could say shouldn't stay out here and him just fucking like, steps on the fucking platform yeah I'm just gonna take the greater potion and I'm gonna move up in this area my forward feet or whatever and then I will action, double fist my katana so I can be ready get a little bit of health back and uh. Power up round but so he is up. The one's upstairs walking i like that that's scary hope he doesn't have any cone abilities we're pretty cone shaped right now i was just thinking we're pretty spread out because you know what i would do, he takes a few like say steps but like his wings are funny he flaps back but keeping him back. Yeah? Well, things might not go as smoothly as I would hope. A little bit rusty being trapped down here so long. That doesn't mean I won't take a new plaything with me. The whip and a. 23 to hit, Nadia. Sylvie Barbs. Actually, shield. Nice. Yeah, I know what that does. So what does that make here? It adds plus 5 to my AC, so it's at a 25. Okay. Sick. And I doubt it's like ribs or hands. So what's yours look like, though? Scales. Oh, my shield? Yours is not as cool as mine, but just curious. It's not what I said. it's like the patches of snake skin almost like shimmer and like have like this iridescent magical glow that kind of like expands out the killer it's the skin of a killer bellas, so as the whip goes uh wrapping around you your scales harden around you and shimmer and you watch as, yeah, as it tries to yank and pull, it doesn't find any grip or traction and just unwinds from around you. It's almost like it pulls off a shed of snake skin instead of catching me. Hey, look at the map. Stop dancing. That's why I'm dancing. I'm like, let's go! Let's do it. But your AC is still a 25. Yes, it is. Yeah. That is something. It's the toughest I've ever been. Hopefully he doesn't like grab or anything or grapple. Yeah. Just fucking slams her into the fucking lava with him. Yikes. Does shield last for one turn or against one attack? One round. One round. Okay. So it's still up. Fucking. 28. 28. What? 14. I was. 14 plus 14. And I just kept being like. I kept saying 20 fucking four. And I was like. So it doesn't hit. And I was just like. No. 28. Yeah. Shield's not a concentration spell. It's not. Silvery barbs. Silvery barbs. Is a cantrip? No. I can't do that. nevermind. And no, it is not a cantrip. It is a spell, but it is a reaction. And I already used my reaction. So nevermind. On chill. I usually catch myself. There's just a little delay. Still. 21. Doesn't hit. Damn it. Oh. I thought you were attacking me more than once. I'm sorry. I'm scared. 21 slashing and 13 lightning. So none of it was fire. So... Is the lightning considered magical? Four. I mean, yeah. Then it's halved. Why? Or no, that's on saving throws. Never mind. Never mind. Never mind, never mind. Yeah, I was like, I don't think you would have resistance to it. Nope. You would just get advantage on, like, magical effects. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So 30, what did I say? 34. 34, total. Total. Yes. Because you don't have resistance to any of them. Nope, I do not. Angry that the whip doesn't connect with her, he flies towards her slashing her crossed once with a lightning sword uh but eris is up he got to the one so let's go i mean he was gonna yeah i did not want to be glued into the lava that was my highest concern and where's the guardian thing again it's like right here okay it has a 10 feet real law so it was already out when it did so i'm just gonna yell out and be like we gotta regroup, at my spirit and then we can see i'm at where i'm at yeah i want to back up still to like this edge i should be yeah it's okay that's fine and i want to ready an action and the second he gets any close to us i just want to blast the one i want okay well i'm right you got you, nadia he is i did say i wanted to move up to right in front of your face. I think you should tell to Riku. Is he flying? Yeah. Okay, so his feet are, like, not... Hovering, yes. But yeah, he's, like, hovering. He's, like, not walking around. Yeah, because he was above the lava. I mean, his feet might be on the ground now that he is, like, since he's over hard. But when he's over the lava, he's not walking through the lava. He's flying over. Yes. Okay. Iann, where's Riku? How far is Riku from me? Is he within 60 feet? Are you good at Jungo down at all? Yeah, because we talked about that. I'm under his wing. I'll be on the floor. Then yeah, he's within 60. Groundish. Just like a little bit above the ground. That's low. Basically doing what he's doing. Just that little bit of hover. And if I teleport, do I provoke opportunity attack? No. Because you have to leave the range. You have to move out of the range. You're just... Yeah, it's amazing. you also that's why i never took out missy stuff it's so bad i think it's my most used spell. Um i will use an action to do two daggers from my bracelet to attack it, after you teleport before i teleport because i'm in you have disadvantage at range right yeah and you those daggers cannot be used in melee they are only for range Teleport first, then you see your attack. Unless teleportation's in action. Where's the issue? But am I within the five feet of it? Or am I within his 30 feet width? You're within the five feet of it. Oh, okay. He came to stab you with the... So if she teleports to me, she'd still be able to throw the daggers and still get the sneak attack as she gets because Ishii is over here close to me. Yeah, it'll be a different bit, probably, but I can do that. So I'll teleport first. Ishii is not within its rank. Oh, I totally thought it was. No. If you were to go, 40 feet, we're right by Riku. And that is 20 feet. So your daggers are actually within just the regular 20 feet. Yep. That would be perfect uh so bonus action i would teleport the second dagger would appear in my hand, but i would free action immediately drop it i mean free action it takes it doesn't toss a free action to drop it it's a free hand to put it in your pocket so you can put it in your or you can just drop it to drop it oh i can't free action put it away cool i'll put it in his pocket just put it back in his pocket, or technically no if it's in his pocket just let go yeah you can drop it, just let go of it and it'll still be right there yeah my reaction let go, so you poof and your hand is just right here the technicalities of grabbing it I would say if you didn't have a free action you would be taking it from him but since you have a free action I will let you you can yes just let go and it's so go ahead and roll your two attacks yep that's what happens, two attacks, that is going to be 24 and a 22. I love how we overanalyze the logistics of how things work in this universe. Yeah. A dagger placement? A dagger placement. It don't fit in a pouch. It's important. It is important. And nobody is in melee, correct? No. I was going to say, since we're all in the same turn, can we not just move a little bit at the same time? If Ishii's not going to move up a little bit more to be within five feet to hit him, so Nadia and I could get... 17. Piercing damage is magical. Okay. Um, and then do I still have movement? Uh, the teleporting wouldn't take any of the movement. Yeah, so you have your full movement. Um, so then I'm gonna go over next to Eris. Behind the guardian. Oh, cool. is she she goes back there yes if it works it's you right now, well we're trying to draw him back so that he can walk into this thing but i can't hit him if i do that i want to hit him right now i want to hit him right now yeah well i'll lose my reach, I guess I'm inside of his reach anyway, so. You can hop over that lava again. Yeah. Can I just, like, jump up and hit his arm? His wing? No, I'll jump across there. That's what? Like, 10 to 30 minutes? Yes. And then I'll take some wax at him. Okay. Go for it. If I use the reckless attacker again? I mean, sure what? 28, or 32, I guess. 30. 24. And 31. That's four. Yeah. And I slap him. Slap him pretty hard. You've been slapping pretty hard. 6 lost the number. 4 3, look at him go 62 again, how do you want to do this, uh I want to, like, jump off his knee and cut his fucking head off. Alright. Nice, AZ. So, Ishii, as you jump across... Jumping up his leg, I guess, like dropping a sword and putting both hands on one and then head. So, as you jump across, you form a small little pillar, that gives you just that little bit of boost that shoots you up to land on his knee. As you do, you spring jump up again. You combine any and everything into one giant claymore. Thick enough to cut through this demon's head. As you do, it almost William Defoe's you. As you get a little bit higher than it and it just like looks up and as your sword is coming down he just you can hear under his breath say uh. When I come back, I'm coming for you. Oh, we got him. Straight through. I would have you all make deck saving throws, but you take half fire damage anyway. So everybody takes 35 fire damage. Woo! Is anyone down? No. All right, cool. so as the head and as she lands you can see the, inside chest of it begin to just expand in this like fire energy, what? I was going to say am I not using, should I not try to do my thing? what are you going to do? As I see that Tsurashi lands the final blow and the head goes to topple Riku would immediately sheath his sword drawing the black flame in his right hand to just have this baseball fireball and action bonus action all the dashes as fast as I can I want to fly over to him dash over to him and hit him with it in the chest as the tribute to Ronan I'm gonna do it myself okay you can fucking okay, go ahead and give me, No. No you're fine i shouldn't again i shouldn't have something that's like important to lock behind i was like yeah it's like he runs a fucking one i will roll a one right now, roll just to see what you would fucking get it's a one just kidding i was better slightly better uh, as it begins to fucking like begins to like almost implode in on itself, Ishii, you see, this expanding energy staring you right in the face and you're just like I need to get away from this. And as you go and like turn Riku is right by you just like, gives you that nod of like, oh you're going that way I'm going this way. And Riku you stick your palm and this black flame right through where the main massive energy is coming apart at. Riku, go ahead and give me a con saving throw. 19? 19. Okay. I'm sorry, how much damage did we take before? 35. Just sure still up so as you put that uh ball uh right in its chest you watch as the energy the fire energy that has begun to swell begins to shrink as it's being almost consumed and eaten, and then you watch it swell even bigger with the black flame, exploding shooting you all back uh. Eric give me a strength saving throw for real dude uh and i love you give me a strength I was going to say, I'm right there too. I need to die. 23. 3. 8. 28. 20. Nice. No, I don't. 10 feet. Oh, shit. That's me. That's you. You get plus 4. Oh. 12. Might be enough. It just feels better being a two-digit number. It does. Originally, it was just Eris out of, like, is it going to get, like, pushed back into the lava? Yeah. You all get pushed a little bit just from this wave of energy. And... But not Riku. As the flash dissipates, as the energy you guys effectively got flash banged, really, and come back to your senses you were met with a very familiar sight, how Riku kept standing there holding and pulling back the lines of wire his hand is still just out. The Baelor is nowhere to be seen except for charred remains on the ground as the lava is pulling back to the crater now that it had left, in it and Riku, you see a very you all see it again a very familiar sight, of Riku's arm burned to a fucking crisp just scorched black all the way up where he had his armor is just again scorched and burned. Did you have any magical items on that? No. Armed? No, okay. Because those would stay. Yeah. Because they're magical, so they can resist it. But any normal clothing is just... Yeah, it was all normal. I only have my ceiling on my left. Okay. Burned. Away. Ah, the good old familiar smell of Riku's burning flesh. It's more than tajam smells like bacon and insecurity I think you're smelling yourself probably how's my hair is it singed, it's it's intact all right cool I'm really careful your arm that's silver hair it was down, and so does the rest of riku as he passes out eras i mean not in a health way but just in a way of this i did took the blast, we would still act that way though, it's not like one of us hits the floor normally it. Especially when the floor is lava. Actually, when the floor is lava. Riku, you pass out. Harris, Nadia, what are you? What are you doing? I immediately run the Riku. Ishii, you all right? No, I'm all right. I mean, I don't feel great. But I also feel great. Because that was pretty cool. Ishii's got like a bold spot in the very back of his head. Just like where the fire just like burns and he turned around. Riku looks like he's an old man just because it's fucking burned everything here. But I won't do that. I won't burn your hairs. Our hair's magic. You can't burn them. I feel like Nottie definitely has some burnt spots on the flesh it does specifically say, the explosion ignites flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried yeah you wear your hair I guess yep. So all the lava and the rocks get burned. Is the lava receding? And it began to pool in where it left the crater, but now the lava is just beginning to harden. You watch it, it is beginning to cool, and it is just hardening. We're not going to be able to open that sauna. Damn. Hardening all around. What you got out of this? Yeah. We should have befriended him and hired him to work the song, second campaign I go over to Eris how's Riku with you okay as soon as I'm looking at him I want to cast cure wounds at second level third level, bonus 1d8 plus my summon so 3, first I thought it was the metal one I was like, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 14, 15, 17. Write that down, write that down. 21 health trying to focus it more on his arm too sure, it at least definitely subsides the burning smell that you all have begun to love it's good for you guys, does it start to get dark in here too Yeah. Okay. I'm going to check on Dan. You're putting a hand on your shoulder, Ishi. I'm going to just ground him on that. Eyes and ears into my raven. What's going on in the dining room? Three rounds, four rounds. He is sitting there. Yeah, exactly. He's just kind of looking out one of the windows. He's just kind of... He's just... Cool. Come back. He's still there. He's just killing time of just like... I want to make sure I didn't just... Lop. It's how much wine it's at the most. Does it look like Riku's like us like he's not gonna wake up, he just needs at least a nap he needs a nap I take a rock and cast light on it should we carry him up there princess Karen over the threshold can you grab my sword I grab his sword Thanks. Why not? All the stuff. Put all the stuff. Put all the stuff. We're just carrying him. You carrying him or are you carrying him? I can carry him. I mean, I was already there. I'm not carrying him. I'm not carrying him. You guys can fucking carry him. I'm hurt. Quick perception check. Anything interesting in this room? As the lava is beginning to harden and you've got Riku in your arms, you can make a perception at disadvantage. Okay. Just by the off chance the hat is in this room. Granted, it might be burned away. I want a 20-foot sword. I fucked up. He said that Yaris put his sword down and pulled out the wand. I thought he was saying that the thing put the sword down. That's why I was looking at you all. I was like, oh, you didn't get it. I wrote a one. Alright. You are... I see you like craning your neck in weird ways, but like, and then you're like half-dropping Riko. Eris, what are you trying to do? I don't know. I'm trying to see if this room is. I don't know. I'm getting... His burning flesh is kind of burning my eyes. My eyes! My leg! I'm hoping you were going to say you were going to look for the hat, because I was in trouble with a hat. Oh, that's right. We're in a little bit of a hat. I'm just as dumb as Ishii. You're just forgetful. And you carry Riku up. You head up those stairs where the barrier was. You pass where you fought the, beast kid Ishii takes like one look like you widely see Ishii just kinda like, look around a few pillars like still don't know where he's at, head to the basement head up you see Danjin. Are you all right oh yeah you're good my buddy just burned his hand no big deal i heard a lot of, explosions downstairs um i thought i should wait outside but um, when i didn't oh it's just the boiler room oh yeah a rodent problem sure sure. Um, well, perhaps he looks like he could use a rest, and, um, if you're still down for it, we could discuss. I can tell you all that I know. If you're still down to help me. Of course, I think we'll need a bit of a rest, but we will help you. All right. You have our word. All right. Why don't you two take him upstairs I'll wait with Dan again Dan Jin with Dan Jin Nadia will pop down in a chair at the dining room table and like, roll up her sleeve and start bandaging her arm and stuff take Riku up to his room just throw him in there, raggul throw lay him on the bed check his vitals he is still alive he's breathing fine he's just maybe a little heavy but he is exhausted. Um... Dancon, where did you say you were from? Homework. From homework? Initially. They've been home in high for a bit, though. Initially, but I travel a lot. You said you're a salesman? Yeah. And what is it, exactly, that you sell? A bit of everything, really. There's money to be made in the goods. I have my hand in it. Excuse me for asking, but... You've asked me, where are you from? I haven't even quite seen some scales like you. But, please, you don't have to answer if it's a- I didn't mean to offend- You haven't....cursed, so- I'm not from this plane. Ah, I'm not from this plane. Ah, I'm not from this plane. We're from somewhere quite far from here. What are you two doing? Put him on the dining table. Riku. And I'll start managing him. We just said you put him in his room. Why I didn't hear that? Because then we made the thing like we just throw him in there and ragdoll him. He's in his bed. I gotta put him in front of the engine just like clear! I get to his room and I'll start I'll take a med kit out and I'll start banding his arm medicine check because that's acceptable yeah go ahead and give me a medicine check he will see you is she what about you. Anything in particular just bandaging stuff and to clean all the sudden stuff off your clothes yeah we clean up okay before I go back downstairs to talk to this guy. Okay. Eight. Just pulling off Tart's skin. You bandage him not very thoroughly, not very well, but just wanting to get out of there, get away from this burning smell. Enrico and your slumber you were met with fernan. Not very filling. Demons, they don't necessarily die as one would hope. Especially a Balor. I'd be excited for you to even attempt a Balor in your state. Admirable. You do know that, I'm not a champion of justice. I don't have a good heart. You won't be winning any kindness competitions with me. You know this, right? I'm surprised you're even bringing it up. What does it matter, though? I could have killed you and soon knew you were. And for some reason you didn't. And you were too trusting. you even came back to help, I did rare thing for me. I have a lot of time to gather my power back before I have any ambitions and loftier goals. At the moment, I don't really know what my goals are. Are you better or happier being in the shadow fell? It's home. I'll make you a bargain. I'll give you some of my power. For you to never mention to anyone that I did. And that is all. I don't understand there's no strengths attached or you just don't want me to, say where i've gained my power i don't want you to sully my bad name, but for some reason i like you, doesn't mean i'm going to change doesn't mean i've got a kind heart, or that you're soft I understand I envy your power I can't say that I don't, I'll accept this deal just like I did last time, Robin. It won't be like last time I'm not going to be within you, we won't be having fireside chit-chats that you will have my power to help you how you deem fit. Why not be able to summon you? And the way that you did. Interesting. And, use my power. Make yourself great. It is all yours. Like I said, keep my name out of your mouth to those who are around. If that is what you wish, Ritu gives a small smile and a deep bow. Harris ishi you wrap yourself up a little bit head downstairs and small talk a little bit with the engine about 15 minutes later reiku comes down cracking his neck missing a sleeve, arm completely healed Harris thinks because of what he did. With a giant swirling black dragon tattoo. I look at it. It was there before. He had the dragon there before, but it's back then. So before it was gone, now it's back, right? Or was it like always there? When he went with Ronan, it was there. When Ronan left, it hasn't been there for a little while. That's what I thought. Okay, cool. I just want to look at it and just get a little head nod. Hold on. What? A little nod. A little nod. I thought he said hold on. And then before I close the door, I run back in and then I tuck him in to bed. And then I leave. No, Riku just came down to the desk. He just came downstairs. What am I thinking right now? Dude, I don't know. I don't think you're listening to me. I thought he was sleeping. Dude, I'm sorry. I said 15 minutes later, he comes down. You're sputtering out It's okay I have no idea what I'm thinking It's 9.30 We're wrapping up right now We small talked at the dining room table with Dan, Jen or whatever his name is Yeah, I remember that part And then 15 minutes of small talk passed Riku came downstairs I'm just gonna shut up Is that like a short rest for me? How do I feel? Short rest I mean, you have all of your warlock abilities And it's not like you needed short rest to get them Because you didn't use them. I have the power. So. Yeah. But that was a good example. Can I hit that short rest? If you like. I don't know if we're going to do anything if we're going to end up long resting, but I feel like I must as well. We will pick up, though, with the engine. And perhaps going down and seeing what hardens and what doesn't down below. Either way, Riku, before we go, finish your level up. Yay! Yay! Boop boop! I'm just rolling both, right? Yeah. That's all I had to go. Six. Oh, nice. Plus. So I get eight. Is that a d10, correct? I get d10. Yeah, so I go. Small fan warlock and rogue both get d8 you leveled up warlock though right yes yeah, are you still hex played yeah okay she's just doing it's a complete rework now that's me at one time i mean that's a fair question right i don't know path of the dragon she know your aesthetics so it's all that and shit yeah right instead of maybe maybe we'll uh we'll find out We're going to find out now that Riku has caught up with you all. Peace back. As you continue to go beyond first level, all on the same playing field. We'll see how the rain continues next time. Bye!
