Welcome to episode 6 of Hust Firm of Pride, a D&D's for nerds adventure.
Previously.
Cassius, do you want to take Mr. Fists and Wesley and we'll go north,
and if you get into trouble, Wesley will know and we'll come.
You can definitely feel the sickness in your veins, like your body is heating up uncomfortably.
It's just a druid thing, mate.
Once a day, I can become a bear.
Get out!
Everything goes dark.
Is that what I learned?
It's like, he was a ghost, and is a ghost, and is behind you.
You're throwing up like an idiot.
Is that a new Adam?
That's a new Adam.
Magic feels wrong.
Fighting feels right.
You're correct.
Cassius, the ghoul isn't next to anyone,
but it's closest to you.
Fuck off, you...
He's not really undead.
He's kind of undead.
Fuck off, undead fuckboy.
I'll bite him back.
Oh, you're going to get a ghoul in your teeth.
Oh, I don't know if that's good or bad.
Does that mean you become a ghoul?
It's like Adam's too happy for it to be good for me.
Yeah.
Adam, how do you become a ghoul?
I think we're going to find out.
Eventually.
Several years of very intense training.
Four points of damage, Cassius.
It, like, bites you on the back
and then tries to rake your back
with both of its claws
where's your hit points
how much did I just say
four
four four four
what hit points
four you're at four
how many you have left
no
no I'm fine
I've got 60 hit points
I'm good
I mean less now
because of all the ghouling
but
I'm cool oh no mean, less now because of all the ghouling. I'm cool.
Oh, no.
Why is Adam so happy?
Why is Adam so pleased?
A lot of funny things happened at the same time.
I'm scared.
Just like crackling with electricity ghoul attacking me.
I just made it electrified.
You get bit.
And this time when it bites you
The numbness travels throughout your entire body
You try to pull away
From the bite
And you realize you can't move
Casu just got paralyzed
What?
Cassius
Can't move
But I can still call lightning
Yay!
I assume, I hope I call lightning Yay I assume I hope
I probably can't
I might be a ghoul
By the end of this fight
I don't know how ghouls work
I'm assuming yes
I'm assuming that's how ghouls work
I'm assuming it's like mummies
You know you get ghoul rot
Become a ghoul
Like if we
Survive this and have a sneaky nap
I'm not sleeping
I'm watching over you
In case you don't turn
With a crossbow like
Directed
Once again
Not really like George Romero zombies Just, not really like George Romero zombies.
Just not really like George Romero ghouls.
I love the ghouls.
That's my favorite bit.
Also, other stuff happened.
Ah, hey-o, so many cryptombs.
Hopefully not us.
I didn't think any.
It was none of our turn, but hey, who knows?
Okay, so the ghoul bites you and tries to rake across
your back, but you're completely
paralyzed, so you just slump backwards
The ghoul rolls past
you, rolls 10 feet
beyond you, so now it's
ghoul, Daniel, Cassius
ghoul, and then
Oh, no wait, that's
right, you went up to grab Daniel
So, sorry It no, wait, that's right. You went up to grab Daniel.
So, sorry.
It's fine. It's Ghoul, Daniel, Cassius, and Edric.
Ghoul again.
Also, because the Ghoul, like, completely lost its balance
and wasn't paying attention to its defense,
Edric gets a free attack.
Oh, sweet.
I'm going to, like, call out my magical words of,
brr, it's cold in here, and then just smack you back.
Oh, so does Daniel, actually.
Both of you get free attacks on him.
Oh, man, you're going to destroy this ghoul's day.
Brr, it's cold in here, smack.
Brr, it's cold in here.
Brr, it's cold in here.
Brr, it's cold in here.
Why did you guys become Russians?
You're Nordic.
You don't even sound Nordic.
As it does that roll thing.
It's European.
Just because.
Daniel like swings his chain around
and it strikes the ghoul in the back.
Then with your war hammer,
you slam it upwards
and it lands an extra five feet away
than it would normally.
That's awesome.
Oh,
okie dokie.
I need to find the damages
for all of your weapons.
I feel like that's a dead ghoul Like I'll put money
I'll put a hot dollar on that being a dead ghoul right now
Hot coffee?
So we've got a total of four six-sided dice
Two four-sided dice
Then plus strength damages
This is a dead ghoul
Maybe, I don't know
Ghouls may be a super top
Someone get us a coffee
I'm hoping it's a double dead ghoul
Both would be dead
That'd be nice
15, plus 15 on this roll Yeah, it's a dead ghoul It a double dead ghoul. I hope it's- Both would be dead. That'd be nice.
15, plus 15 on this roll.
Yeah, it's a dead ghoul.
It's a dead ghoul.
No, alive.
Stronger.
You healed it.
Cold damage heals it and electricity amplifies its damage.
No!
30 damage.
Yeah?
That's a fairly dead ghoul.
You are just- the ghoul just gets torn limb from fucking limb.
Yay!
It's just like in hunks.
There's bits and pieces of it.
Yeah.
It's just like in hunks.
There's bits and pieces of it.
Yeah.
It's just like in
hunks there's bits and pieces of ghoul splatter zilly that's unfortunate for you zilly but hey
chilled and slightly static pieces of ghoul strike at zilly this is the raw gritty adventure this was
not what i intended this is what it's like. Okay.
That puts it at... Oh, the other ghoul attacks.
Jesus Christ.
It's still the ghouls.
I'm torn between being completely grossed out, but then also super pumped.
Super pumped.
I could be like, this is what I read about!
Yes.
Charge in.
Have to do it.
Wesley, have a fucking moment.
Have a what? Whatever. It's gone now. If Wesley eats ghoul meat a fucking nom on it. Have a what?
Whatever.
It's gone now.
If Wesley eats ghoul meat, does he become a ghoul ferret?
Yeah, Adam, tell us all about ghouls.
No.
We'll look at the ghouls when we kill the ghouls.
No, you won't.
We'll learn about ghouls one way or another.
We'll learn by eating their brains.
We'll eat the ghouls to become a ghoul.
Adam, we would like to eat the ghouls now.
Give me a fucking second. Okay, so one of the ghouls to become the ghouls. Adam, we would like to eat the ghouls now. Give me a fucking second.
Okay, so one of the ghouls
chomps down on Daniel as well,
like bites into his muscular arm.
You hear him like grunt
a little bit,
but he doesn't like,
he doesn't seem to affect him much.
He's in a rage.
Zillia, it's your turn.
There's not really much
I can do, really.
I lost my,
I had this whole epic plan
involving throwing the torch,
selling some spells.
You could just walk forward a little bit,
pick the torch up and throw it again.
Or like pick the torch up and just like...
To be honest, you could just do that.
Yes, yes.
No, I'm not going to give up just yet.
I would like to go pick the torch up
and then throw it towards the ghoul.
With your foot, you like tentatively...
Well, you walk up to the torch.
Then with your foot, you like tentatively knock off
one of the ghoul arms that are just on the rest on it.
You pick up the torch and then you throw it again.
Good.
Are you throwing it into the...
At the ghoul.
At the ghoul.
At the ghoul.
You hit the ghoul.
Yes!
Okay.
And now...
Can I get a highs or lows?
Still me.
Highs.
Highs.
The ghoul doesn't catch, though, but the torch is at its feet.
That's fine.
That's fine.
Is it still my turn?
I know what you're about to do
Yeah
I would like to use one of my level 2 spells
Called pyrotechnics please
Some of that shit right there
I love the idea of Edric just being like
What the fuck are you doing?
Why is she throwing a torch on the ground?
And then clicking the pen
Sorcerers don't really do
Well they do do some magical words and stuff like that.
But a lot of it is just like you cast magic through force of will.
Yes.
So I'm going to go ahead and let you like try and think up what do you want to say to make pyrotechnics from this torch?
Knowing that you're like weaving the fabric of magic around you help help help help help um um um burden cunt that's all i got yeah i was like
but that's what would zilly say would zilly just be happy am i religious yell fire like is it you
can be you can choose your the people you come from are sort of religious in the way that
before a fight they might pray
to the god of war.
Fuck you, Hos Firma.
I'm great.
Hashtag Hos Firma pride, guys.
I feel so put on the spot.
I would like to yell at the top of my lungs
burn ghoul
burn ghoul burn
okay so you get to pick
two different types of
like effect with pyrotechnics
you can either make a smoke cloud
or fireworks
I'm gonna guess which one
she's gonna choose
smoke cloud clearly
no fireworks
that's beautiful
okay so with the force of like a flashbang grenade or something like something
like that basically a firework to be fair the um the torch just starts it doesn't explode once
doesn't explode twice it just keeps exploding with the force of fireworks. I'm a lot more powerful than I expected. Everyone needs to make a will say.
Literally everyone.
I was not forewarned about my own powers.
It affects a super large area, Ali.
What's happening?
Literally everyone is blinded.
Even the ghoul? Because if the ghoul's blinded too, that's fine. Literally everyone is blinded. Even the ghoul?
Because if the ghoul's blinded too, that's fine.
Literally everyone is blinded.
Okay.
It's amazing.
It's fine.
For four rounds.
Do we take damage?
No one takes damage.
See, it's all right, guys.
No one takes damage.
I'm going to stumble around.
I'm going to use my four turns to stumble around and yell at you.
God damn it, Zilly.
What just happened?
Zilly, I can't see.
Zilly, what did you do and why can't I see?
Can anyone else see?
We're all blind.
But how good, guys?
How good was it?
Look at all the fireworks.
I can't look because I'm blinded.
Everything's fine.
It'll probably come back maybe.
How is it fine when there's something trying to eat Daniel?
Well, it's probably stopped now.
It's fine.
Okay, Edric, you're blind.
You can still, like, you can hear Daniel screaming
and you can hear the ghoul, like, moaning.
I'm going to try and maneuver and hit the ghoul haphazardly,
but, like, not full force, just.
You try to step.
No, because Cassius is on the floor there.
You'd have to step on top of Cassius.
Yeah, that's fine.
You fall on your face.
You trip over Cassius.
What's going on?
Damn it, Zilli.
Excuse me, Adam.
Does pyrotechnics do any actual damage?
No.
Oh.
Well, then.
Here we are.
Adam, I think we may need to have a chat about what spells you actually gave me.
You chose it.
The ones I picked out and how I shouldn't be allowed to do that anymore. That's the fireworks one.
The smoke cloud makes a cloud of smoke.
Smoke cloud would have done so much damage.
Smoke cloud would have ended it. Oh wait.
All sight, even dark vision, is ineffective
in the smoke cloud. All within the
cloud take negative four to strengthen
dex. Jesus Christ.
I didn't use smoke, so it's fine.
Thank god you didn't use smoke, I suppose.
Technically you all would have been on even footing. Oh actually, if she'd done that one, so it's fine. Thank God you didn't use smoke, I suppose. Technically, you all would have been on even footing.
True.
Oh, actually, if she'd done that one,
because it's a fortitude save instead of a will save,
some people would have made that save.
So smoke cloud might have been a little better.
No, it's fine.
It's fine, guys.
Everything will be fine.
Fucking fine.
Just find the ghoul, cut his head off.
I tried, and now I'm on the floor.
You still have basically your entire turn.
You can just get up if you want.
Oh, all right.
Can Wesley see?
Can who, sorry?
Wesley.
No, he can't.
Mr. Fists, poor Mr. Fists.
Mr. Fists is freaking the fuck out.
Can I attack from the floor?
Yes, I do penalty
I hope you just trip over Daniel
Hit me in the head
Give me more brain damage
Kneecap Daniel
Hi Zolozam
I mean Etric
You swing
And your hammer hits something solid
And you don't hear Daniel cry out in pain.
So you're pretty sure you got the ghoul.
You're hoping.
Did I get you, Daniel?
Daniel is beyond words right now.
Is how I imagine Daniel is talking.
Yeah?
Yeah, like Donnie.
Like Donnie.
From the wild thorns.
Oh. From the wild thorns.
From the crazy pickle fruits.
I mean prickle fruits.
How cool are those fireworks, guys?
Well, they blinded us.
You guys are in for an interesting time.
Okay, so that makes it... Daniel's turn.
Daniel, you still hear screaming and you hear like
with the chain just going through the air oh god maybe i should just say i'm glad i'm on the ground
now that i think about it uh cassius you're paralyzed can i use spells uh actually no
because they'd be semantic they'd be moving my hands hands. I think so. Let me have a look.
If it's just like mental stuff.
I just want to call lightning again.
I already cast that, so do I need to cast it again?
No.
No, no, no. You need to do hand movements.
You end the spell.
Can you speak?
No, he can't do anything.
He can't move.
He can think.
So this whole time you've been like, you can't even say you're blinded.
Well, you are blind and paralyzed.
Oh, my God.
Am I dead?
Am I dead?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Cassius went down and is not making any sounds.
Oh, boy.
It's the ghoul's turn.
Is the ghoul just going to eat me alive, you actual motherfuckers?
Is this going to be like a super short season, guys?
Cassius, you're paralyzed
and you can't say what's happening.
We'll get to you in a minute.
What have you done to me?
Zilly, it's your turn.
You're blind.
Excuse me, Adam.
If I potentially had
a potion of Cure Moderate Wounds,
would I get my side back?
No.
It only kills hit points.
It heals hit points.
It heals hit points.
I would like to use another spell.
Sorry?
I would like to use another level two spell.
Yeah, go on.
I know the other one you have, but I'm looking forward to this.
I would like to use Web.
Good. No, I'm looking forward to this. I would like to use web. Good.
No, I'm...
Because if everyone's stuck, right?
No, there's a certain logic there.
You're right.
If everyone's stuck, they can't find each other.
You're like, my first spell fucked up, so I'm just going to, like,
pause the game until the blindness clears.
Yeah, that's the plan.
the game.
Until the blindness clears.
That's the plan.
I'm gonna yell at you when this is over if we
survive. Oh god.
It's like everything I was angry about
being like, no, she's inexperienced.
She doesn't know what she's doing.
She's gonna really be a pro-
It's fine, guys.
The web spell doesn't have as big a radius as the pyrotechnics one.
You might want to get a little closer,
otherwise you're pretty sure it won't affect everyone.
It's a web yourself.
No, do that.
It only does in 20 feet from you.
What's the difference between a 20-foot cube and a 20-foot radius?
A 20-foot radius is usually like 20 feet all around you.
A 20-foot cube is kind of like the same dimensions,
but you can put the cube wherever you want.
Just get us with web.
It doesn't really matter because I don't know.
It doesn't matter what I say.
Adam's going to do what he wants.
I would like to get a little bit closer, presumably,
and then put the web so that everyone gets stuck,
and then we will heal in time.
Are we just going to wait?
So, Zilly won't be affected by this.
Hellish twilight.
Mm-hmm.
Come on, Adam. Mm-hmm. I don't be affected by this. Hellish Twilight. Mm-hmm. Come on, Adam.
Mm-hmm.
I don't know what that means.
Daniel.
Mm-hmm.
Was I facing the wrong way?
And Cassius.
No!
I don't like that face!
What's happening?
Okay.
My brain's leaking out on the floor and there's nothing you can do.
Zilly, Edric, it's your turn.
I'm going to try. You feel like sticky webbing
come over you
and you're like, what the fuck
You manage to stand up
Not manage to stand up, you're still lying down
But if you stay in the area
You're not in it now, but if you stay in the area
you know you're just gonna roll into it
and get stuck
I'm gonna scramble forward, away from the web
Into the room gonna scramble, like, forward, away from the web. Like, into the room.
Okay. You scramble over
Cassius,
and as you do so, your hand touches
something soft, wet, and
spongy. Is it your brain?
You keep going. Eventually, you're pretty sure
you clear the door and are in the room. You, like, feel
the coffins and the remains all around you.
Can I hear the ghoul?
What is happening to me? You don't know what's happening you. Can I hear the ghoul? What is happening to me?
You don't know what's happening.
You can't hear the ghoul.
You can hear it still. Everyone can hear
Daniel like,
I'm gonna like just
arc my warhammer
in a general direction.
I know, I'm just gonna do it.
Please don't accidentally hurt me further.
And then it's Daniel's turn. Like it's all around me. I'm just going to do it Please don't accidentally hurt me further And then it's Daniel's turn
It's all around me
I'm a skier
You hear Daniel start screaming
And the swinging stops
Oh no
Cassius is paralyzed
Still
Oh man Cassius
I'm so afraid
But I don't know
I'm just conscious in the darkness
I am just thought
I like to think I'm having
Bloody spiritual vision journeys
Can you hear me?
Can I connect with Mr. Fists?
Can he hear things?
Can I hear connect to
mr fists um i guess mr fist is just like danger danger yeah mr fist is kind of like in a serious
panic because he was blinded and he's like he's not really he's not really a good source of
information right now oh god i'm getting his panic from my familiar i don't know what's happening. I don't know, but it's just been like classic silly. Oh no.
No!
This is a crit sad for us.
No.
Oh no.
Oh no.
Adam,
what happened?
You blinded us and then you made us
stuck in places. Well, in fairness,
I asked what happened.
No one happened.
So.
What have you done?
Everyone just hears like a sick, like, like, like something sick and wet just being crunched
and uncrunched.
What is happening to my body?
Save me, you fucks.
Your body?
That's Daniel's body.
What's going on? Cassius, I'm not going to tell you how many hit points you lose. That's Daniel's body. What's going on?
Cassius, I'm not going to tell you how many hit points you lose.
Maybe it is your body.
You're being ate.
Okay.
Whose turn was that?
It was the ghoul's turn.
Zilly, it's your turn.
What have you done?
Don't.
What have you done, Zilly?
Oh, God.
Two more rounds of being blind
bloody great
two more rounds of process
I would just send magic missiles in there
you gotta be able to see the target
I would like
how tired do ghouls get
I would like to
those undead creatures that don't get tired
not very
in this instance they are like George Romero's zombies get. I would like to... Those undead creatures that don't get tired? Not very. There goes that plan.
I would like... In this instance,
they are like George Romero zombies.
Do they feel the cold, Adam?
They can take cold damage.
You don't know anything about ghouls.
I would like to put a
share spell with Wesley and use...
Wesley is also blind. Everyone has been
blinded. Please don't send
Wesley blind into the ghouls.
He's got...
He's blind. He's blind.
There's one ghoul. Stop overkilling
this because you're killing
us. He's got attack
and scent and alertness.
Sit down and have a think.
You know what? Can he smell his way
to the ghoul? Am I near Cassius? He could? Can he smell his way to the ghoul? Am I near Cassius?
He could.
He can smell his way to the ghoul.
Yes?
He can try.
Yes.
Chiltouch.
Please stop the ghoul from killing me.
Actually, how far away am I from Cassius?
Sorry?
How far away am I from Cassius?
Like if I felt around.
From Cassius.
You can't tell.
Cassius is not making any sounds.
Okay.
All right.
Well, that's it.
All right.
I would like to load Wesley up
with the spell of chill touch
and then get him to choo-fo-long to the ghoul
deliver it and come the fuck back.
Wesley's like, I don't want to.
I know you don't, sweetheart, but you have to.
I would really rather not.
Highs or lows?
I prefer not.
Lows.
No? heist?
No, heist.
Lose.
I said lose.
Too late.
How much damage does Chill Touch do?
Oh, no, he's going to touch Jackson.
How much damage does Chill Touch do?
Can I come out?
I'm punching you in the mouth.
Description?
Yeah, all right.
Deals 1d6 damage.
Okay, then.
Negative 1 strength.
No.
I don't know what that means.
Oh, wow.
Oh, that's what happens to you.
Yep.
Oh, dear.
Boy, am I happy.
Oh, dear.
Maybe it's the ghoul.
We don't know.
It's me.
Yeah.
Or Daniel.
But probably Cassius.
It could be you.
No.
Oh, because you're covered in ghoul goop, aren't you?
I'm further away.
You would smell like ghoul goop.
Daniel screams.
Oh, he's a...
Hey, you got Daniel.
Hey, thank God.
Yeah, that's good.
I'm still being eaten alive.
So there's that to remember.
Ezric, Fox, what do you do?
Can I hear the ghoul?
Fox, what do you do?
Can I hear the ghoul?
I'm going to say it takes like a to just like sit there still
and strain your ears.
It takes a standard action
so you can't attack.
Okay.
You can't hear the ghoul.
Can I hear anyone?
You can hear like that sick, wet scrunching
like crunching sound.
It's actually like slowing down a little bit.
Something's happening and it's like, whatever it is, it's coming to an end.
Can I just be like, can I get a sit rep?
How is everyone?
Like, Zilly, how are you?
You can reply.
That's it.
That's all I'd like to say.
Daniel?
Daniel doesn't respond.
Cassius? Cassius doesn't respond. Cassius?
Cassius doesn't respond.
Just head towards the wet squelch.
That's me.
That's me.
I'm the wet squelch.
I don't know this.
Something.
It's going to be something.
Edric, that's your turn.
Yep.
Daniel?
Guys, I should be coming back soon, guys.
This does. Oh, we're going to be just a hot mess. Hot mess. Cassius? Guys, I should be coming back soon, guys Where does
Oh, we're gonna be just
Hot mess
Cassius, one more round of paralysis
Hey
Soon I can punch
I'm gonna be like
The ghoul
Oh no
It's rolling so much
I know
Sometimes I think he only rolls one dice
But then rolls 17 others just to confuse us
Where'd you put it, Pastor?
There's like this tremendous
Like something's trying to
Something is trying to drag itself
Out of something wet
And then it just comes right back down
Oh my god, did it go through your stomach?
What's happening to me?
Is it like alien?
And then the squelching just stops entirely.
What have you done to me?
That's good, guys.
What have you motherfuckers done to me?
Me?
Hey, you're the one that ran ahead.
Zilly.
Hang on.
My side?
Yeah.
Okay.
No, no, no, no, no.
You're still blind.
You got another round of blindness.
Yeah, the parallel analysis is on me.
Okay, no, no, no, no, no.
You're still blind.
You got another round of blindness.
But when you hear that final, like, splat,
something wet hits your face.
Oh, gross, gross.
Does it look like ghoul or cast and shield blind?
You don't know.
Do you brush it away?
No, I'm going to do the stock standard panic where I'm like, ew, get it off, get it off, get it off.
I don't want to touch it.
I don't want to touch it. Wait, maybe
I should. For those of you listening at home,
Zillia's like fanning her face with
her hands, but not touching her face.
Yeah. You know what? You fucks.
Yeah. You fucks.
Okay. You fucks. Yeah, I guess I'm going to panic
for my round.
That's fair enough. No, good job.
Edric? Head towards where the wet
squatting was, you fucks.
I'm just going to head towards...
I'm being eaten.
I'm going to head towards where I think...
Am I still conscious?
You're still...
You...
Oh, my God.
When this is all over and people can see and move and stuff again,
I'm going to describe everything you felt.
I'm going to describe everything you felt I'm so afraid I'm going to head towards
where I think the ghoul was
and just do a swing of my
war hammer
That could be bad
I mean it can't be any worse than
pyrotechnics and webs
No, no, that face
Oh no
Adam, no
Why? No, that face. Oh, no. Adam, no. Oh, no.
Why?
Why?
So long, C.S. We'll never know what happened to Daniel.
I think I might have hit him.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
What's happening?
Your warhammer swings through the air with a significant amount of force
strike something that was moving a little bit and that moving thing stops moving oh no who'd you hit
who'd you hit who'd you hit we'll find out in a bit i guess we'll find out next round when we're
not blind and uh that's all for tonight on daniel It's you. Oh, right.
Cassius.
Oh, right.
At least we can. Am I not paralyzed anymore?
Might I as well be.
Can I go back to being paralyzed?
Yeah, I miss being paralyzed.
Cassius, you can move again.
Am I in immense pain?
No, nothing happens.
You experienced everything else, but that squelching wasn't you.
Yay!
I mean, I don't know what it was, but yay!
You're blind, though.
You cannot believe the relief I am feeling right now.
We can hear you now.
But, Daniel...
I don't care!
I thought I was getting eaten!
Or does the ghouls eat other ghouls?
I don't know what's going on.
How cool would that be?
What just happened there?
What are you going to do, Cassius, with your turn?
I'm blind.
Can you tell us you're alive?
I think I have a spell that might cure my blindness.
Possibly.
I've got a moment.
Just a moment.
You know what?
I can look it up.
These are the sounds of a panicked man.
He's got a song stuck in his head, though.
It's probably allowed on the Creative Commons, right?
I'm just going to check my email.
Okay.
Listeners, just take a break.
Having a drink.
I don't know.
Sort out what you've got to do.
Taxes?
Is tax time yet?
Yeah.
Just do your taxes by the time you've finished. It's always good to get your taxes done early because then you don't have to sort out what you've got to do. Taxes? Is tax time yet? Yeah, just do your taxes by the time you've finished.
It's always good to get your taxes done early
because then you don't have to worry about it so much.
Tax return comes back quicker or you have to pay them back.
Don't pay the government back the speed.
No, do pay the government back if you need to,
but it's better to not.
I don't.
I don't have a spell.
So what are you going to do now?
I thought you were like, I don't pay taxes.
I don't pay taxes.
Can I call lightning again?
You can cast a new casting of the spell.
Do I know where the ghoul is?
You know where it was?
I'll fire it.
I can't tell you what not to do.
I blinded you all.
That's where I am.
No, it's not.
That's where Daniel is.
That's where someone is.
Daniel screams.
He's still alive. That's screams. He's still alive.
That's good.
He's still alive.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
Did you just do...
Oh, you did so close to max damage on him.
Guys, if I've killed Daniel, that's going to be pretty rough on me.
You'll never know.
I'll be able to blame the ghoul.
That'll get me by.
Hasfirm a pride.
Hasfirm a pride.
I'm going to blame the ghoul.
That'll get me by.
Hasfirm a pride.
Hasfirm a pride.
Hitting a woman in Hasfirm, frowned upon or not?
In a dungeon where no one's watching?
All good.
Probably not.
Frowned upon?
All right, just wondering.
What about a woman hitting a woman?
Like if it was like a fair fight or something like that. Not like domestic abuse.
That's obviously out.
But like, but like
because women are seen as
just as competent as fighters as men.
So what about saying you're mad
at a front
who's female for blinding
everyone in a very
dangerous situation and you
maybe want to take a little bit, blow off a little
steam. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Is that okay? I have a feeling that that's not okay.
Just wondering.
I guess it depends on how well you could explain it to the authorities.
We'll see what happens when the lights turn on.
Yeah, let's just see what happens.
Baby, when the lights go out.
Careful, Adam.
Creative Commons doesn't cover everything.
Creative Commons doesn't cover my beautiful voice.
Whose turn was that?
That was Cassius, that's right.
It's the ghoul's turn.
He's still alive.
That's upsetting.
How was he surviving so well being blind?
Oh, no.
Oh, no, though.
But, oh, no.
But, and then, oh, no.
Please don't grab another card.
Thank God.
I am so afraid.
Less afraid, because I'm not dead.
That's pretty good.
So, Zilli, it's your turn, and everyone gets their vision back.
Yay!
Guys, I can see!
So, you can see now, Daniel is, like, lying on top of the ghoul, helplessly mired in your web.
He's like squelching around in the chest cavity of the ghoul.
It's been completely crushed underneath his weight.
Oh, guys, it was the ghoul.
It's fine.
Daniel, you're fine.
Daniel wasn't fine.
He took a lot of damage from you guys.
The ghoul was killed before you scrambled past him.
With your swing of the hammer,
like that first one
when you were first blinded,
that's when the ghoul died.
The rest of it is mind games.
Is the other ghoul...
What?
So what's happened?
Are they both dead?
Yeah, they're both dead.
They've been dead for a while.
I would like to run over to Daniel.
The combat has ended and then you dealt like nearly 30 damage to Daniel.
Okay, so everyone's fine?
What's the layaround?
I'm just going to go and...
I'd like to run over to Daniel and give him a potion of cure moderate wounds, please.
Hang on, let me work out how many hit points he's on.
Is he still alive? He took a lot of cure moderate wounds please hang on let me work out how many hit points he's on is he still alive
he took a lot of damage
I electrocuted him
he doesn't know this
those ghouls there were more than half
of his hit points

magical blindness find Find out next
