Dear Heavenly Goddess, watching love of my life, light of my heart and gold in my pocket,
I owe you an update.
First off, it took weeks but we finally got a solid beach night.
The only thing was some nice music and it would have been perfect.
Baran is getting really good at swimming.
It's no surprise.
After all, she was my first client and she can only see us go overboard or get swept
up so many times before we have to take protective measures.
And Shaudi and I made incredible teachers.
Azul and the Rabbit Man Bervain joined us for the last bit in the forest and stayed
for the night on shore.
It's good they did because we have no clue how to get the ship out of that magic bottle
they put it in.
And Rad seemed to really enjoy Bervain's presence, though Bervain didn't seem as jazzed.
Can you imagine having an unrequited crush?
How embarrassing.
I don't trust the Rabbit Man.
He feels like another set of eyes looking at Baran like a payload.
And since Nock's mysterious disappearance, she isn't even our payload anymore.
Which brings me to the subject of this prayer.
What's left for me to even do here?
Functionally, I make sure everyone, and mainly Trig, doesn't die but you sent me here.
These trips have to have a purpose.
Although I did send some sexy contracts your way.
When I stole that invitation, after running out of paper, I thought I'd have some sort
of clue by now, but like, Berv, what's up?
I guess there's something strange going on with Anchor's Dreams, but it'll be weeks
before we figure that out.
Between Shawty turning into Objects, Snovol just looks at people really hard and there's
something going on there but I don't know yet.
And Trig returns from his crafting fits with, I don't even know if it's a smile or if he's
just bearing his teeth as a show of dominance over his materials, but I don't think there's
anything wrong with a few nightmares, but he'll be fine once we set sail again.
If it doesn't write itself, I'm bound to write it.
Whatever happens between now and us figuring this out, I know for a fact I'm going back
to the Soul Tree.
There's a lot I want to see again.
You know what?
They've mentioned something about Baran just staying with us.
You guys do whatever you can to make that not happen.
This was supposed to be a short job in and out, I mean, what do I look like staying with
Shawty and Rad and Trig and Anchor and Snovol and Baran for what, forever?
Like, like what, some sort of discovered tribe?
Okay.
Sailing across the realm, collecting gold and fame and never knowing the ships of crusty
strangers again.
No, no.
I can't wait till this is over.
Can you imagine that though?
So it's night time.
Most of you have gone to sleep and Rad, you're the only one left awake.
You're poking at the fire that's starting to dwindle.
It's a little cold since you guys are on the coastline and you're just looking up and you
can just see just the scatter of stars above you.
You start to kind of notice every now and again Anchor is kind of twitching, kind of
moving and asleep as he turns over and settles for a little bit.
A few minutes later you feel something kind of creep up from behind you and that's when
you notice Anchor immediately wake up.
Rad, roll me a strength check.
Not bad, I don't have a terrible strength, but strength check is 14.
14.
Okay.
Anchor, when you shoot awake, your eyes kind of just quickly to the light when you see
Rad and then you see right behind Rad the face of the masked woman and she swoops in
right behind you, Rad, and she kind of just puts you into an arm lock and grapples you
tight.
You kind of, you can feel like there's some type of hard metallic like shard against like
her hand and is like pressed up against your throat.
I just, my eyes go right to Anchor.
I'm just waiting to see what he is going to do, what he wants me to do.
Yeah, I shocked awake and I for half a second think of grabbing my club, but as soon as she's
got him in that arm lock, I'm afraid she's going to do something I can't stop her from
doing and so I freeze and I make eye contact with Rad, make sure he's in with me and then
at her and let him go immediately.
She responds back in Dwarvish to you.
Okay.
It's good to see you again, Eris.
Long time.
What did she say?
I don't understand what she's saying.
She says she knows me.
She's seen me before.
Well, lady, if you know him, how would you let me go when you sit by the fire and relax
with us?
I respond in Dwarvish.
Who are you?
I'm just a messenger.
Give your message and I want to try and very small movements as much as I can, but I want
to locate where Baran is amongst all of us.
Roll a perception check.
Okay.
Oh, it's shit.
Ten.
You look around and you can't make her out amongst all the other forms of everyone sleeping,
but you do remember that usually Baran is with Shodi, but you can see the large form
of Shodi curled up not too far away from you.
She has me grappled, basically, right?
Yes, you grappled.
Yes, girl.
You can try to break it if you want.
And there's a blade to his throat?
Not yet.
Okay.
All right.
From what you can tell, she just has a hand around his neck.
I'm awake.
Do I see any of this?
Yeah.
Can I be seen?
I'm inside the boat, which I've been working on.
Can I be seen?
As far as you know, she hasn't noticed you.
I'm just going to pull a crossbow out and I'm going to saddle myself up on the ground
on the side of the boat facing them.
I speak back in Dwarvish.
If you're a messenger, then you must have a message.
Well, the message was for all of you, not just you.
I did offer it to you first, but why don't we ask the rest of the group?
Fine.
While they're talking, I want to summon Paunch in one of the shadows behind this person and
have Paunch slowly start creeping up on them.
Okay.
I have Paunch roll a stealth check.
Okay.
It can use a bonus action to become invisible, which it will.
So I guess it has that advantage on this.
Yes.
So I'll have the advantage on this.
17 total.
Okay.
And she's just going to be slowly creeping up?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She's not going to attack her to like give her the signal like mentally, but Rad is mostly
just kind of seeing how this plays out.
He's curious why this woman hasn't attacked him.
Why don't you wake up the others and let's not be hasty.
I'll be happy to wake them up, but first I appreciated if there's a show of grace in
this outnumbered situation, you would back away from my friend.
Roll the persuasion check.
Okay.
Oh, a 24.
The mass just like stares at you blankly.
And eventually she eases up her grip around Rad.
Oh, that feels better.
But she's still standing behind him.
I'll speak plainly to Rad.
Rad, can you help me wake the others?
She has a message for us.
Yeah, sure, dude.
I'll get up and kind of start waking everybody up and like I'll go to Snoovole and like there's
a stranger here.
And I'll just kind of move on to the next.
Where are we all positioned?
I'm so sorry to break.
I'm just wanting to know where this entity is.
She was near the fire, probably more towards the coast.
Her back is to where Trigg is.
And then you guys are all scattered kind of closely around that fire.
Okay.
Sleeping.
Gotcha.
When Rad wakes me up, can I try and make sure Buron stays asleep and just behind me?
Sure.
Okay.
I'll kind of wake everybody up.
I'll stand behind anchor, like with my arms crossed, just looking at this chick.
I'm going to move right beside him as well.
She eventually gets a little bit closer.
She kind of peers out at all of you, just stillly, that mask face, just looking at all
of you.
Isn't there another one of you?
Why are you here?
Well, to send a message.
Well, deliver it.
Well, the one I'm employed with would like to offer you guys an opportunity to stead
the right course and return the precious cargo to us.
Oh, so you're with the dudes all the way back from Tanguette Hall, huh?
You don't remember me.
Oh yeah, we fought on the beach, right?
I puked on you.
Yeah, you did.
You're full of surprises.
I'm sorry about that.
I ate too many mince pies that day.
They're Sasanian, and they've been tracking us through my dreams.
I'm sorry, everyone.
It's not your fault.
I wouldn't take all the credit, and she goes into her pocket, and she pulls out a small
little stuffed bear.
I had to help.
I was hoping to return this to the little one.
Can I mage hand and try and take it from her?
Yeah.
Use a slight hand.
While they're doing that, can I do a quick primeval awareness?
Sure.
Primeval awareness is how far?
It's within one mile.
I can sense if there are any aberration, celestials, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, or undead.
You feel the sense of the fey and the celestial and the undead entities that you have in the
forest, but that's about it.
Okay.
I got maved for slight of hand.
Yeah, you go, but the dim light and the light that illuminates from the mage hand is enough
to see it, and she kind of steps out of the way.
I had to try.
Also, Eli, I'm going to go ahead and look into this individual.
What do I see?
When you look into this woman, you again, like when you saw into Rad, you couldn't see the
scales that are placed.
It's gone, and you see an entity of some kind watching over.
Well, Anchor, did you know this person's name?
I don't think we've been formally introduced.
She hasn't told me a name, only said my own.
Well, what's your name, dude?
They call me Jinn.
Eli, does that name ring any Sasanian bells for this old?
A little history check.
Okay.
Not when the natural won it, don't move the fucking rhythm.
Have you ever heard or seen this person before in your life?
Does that ring a bell for anybody?
In fact, I forgot her right now.
Who is this?
I can't hear her, is it?
I also wanted to ask the bear, is it familiar?
Is it when I've seen Baran carrying on this journey, or is this before I was aware of
Baran?
When you first met Baran, she was cradling a particular stuffed animal, and you remember
that she was very upset when it was left behind, Tenguat.
What's your second message?
You said you had two.
If you bring the child back to us, well, we can end all of the troubles in the grander
scheme of things.
Right.
Sasanians want to end troubles, sure.
Are you certain that the Odin Aon's do not have ill intentions?
Do you even know where you're going?
Or what's there, waiting for you?
How do you know that once the child leaves your hands, that she's not going to be put
to whatever other purpose anyone has?
It's not your problem, is it?
The Odin Aon's didn't say anything about wanting to use this girl in any way.
They just want to get her home.
Is that what you want from her?
I just want her best interest, and the interest of our people.
If you were to tell us her best interest, what is that in your mind?
You say that you'd use her to save the world in some way.
Could you just enlighten us?
You are not ignorant to the fact that Sasan and Odin Aon and all of Ashoka has been at
war for years, centuries, generations.
It could be ended.
With her?
Because you'd have the more powerful weapon?
No.
You'd have been proctored the right piece.
Right.
He who has the biggest stick, right?
Any war that depends on children for its victory isn't a war that should be fought anyway.
That's the issue, right, Shoudy?
To her, this isn't a child.
It's a weapon.
I know.
You know, to be honest with you, dudes, I'm less curious about why she's asking this
of us and more why she came alone.
I mean, what were you thinking we'd actually go along with this?
Were you hoping we'd be reasonable or something?
I thought you could be at least reasonable and reasoned with.
You've clearly not been more to us then.
Clearly you have never met us since.
Reasonable is not something we do well, especially in the last few months.
I'm going to scope around.
Is there anything sneaking up behind us that we're not aware of?
You can roll a perception check.
And I've got I've got like a hand on Barron's leg this entire time.
I am physically aware of where she is.
And I'm waiting for someone to say those magic words.
No, it's only a 13.
Sorry, I mean, you scan the horizon and it's pretty dark out there.
But all you feel is the ocean and the cold sand around you.
I think Red says, honestly, gang,
I think the real question is what do we do with her?
And like as I'm saying that like that that symbol of limos on my chest
kind of starts to glow a little bit.
And there's like a there's like a a mal implication to what I'm saying.
Like she doesn't leave this beach.
It was clear to me.
I think we send the queen a message that counts as permission.
Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep.
I'll give you an I'll give you an attack for the surprise round.
Aaron just one attack or a turn.
I'll give you one attack.
And that's fair.
We'd be sitting here for a while if it was a.
Aaron is doing that.
Everybody else role in this.
Only an 11 to hit.
Does not hit.
Damn it.
I got a five.
I've got an eight.
15.
I got a 16. 15.
A one with a total of two.
I'm very afraid.
We can do that thing where you cut off their head
and talk to them like it's Shakespeare.
Life is but a walking shadow when you're such a bitch.
I'll let you put that head on a spike
and put it on the front of the boat around with that.
Maybe not with a little girl around.
Yeah.
Oh, oh, I didn't roll for a punch.
Oh, yeah, please roll for a punch.
OK, punch is with Dex, 12.
I don't laugh to get like a 20.
I punch is the first.
Honches are first at bat.
When this is over, we're talking about how your aunt
turned into a dog.
Oh, it's not a sea lion anymore.
I keep forgetting it's not a puppy
and it's a fucking six-eyed shadow.
Yeah, it is pretty wild.
That was a sea lion a couple of days ago.
It's funny that's only been like a week or so.
Yeah, for real.
Like, yeah, what the fuck?
We're all brought together by a strong maternal instinct.
Yes, we are.
Ready?
Yes.
Top of the round.
Fuck.
She's probably top of the round.
She is the part top of the round.
Fuck you.
You're a beat.
You know my fault, you guys rolled low.
The arrow darts right past her, just whizzes right by
and she doesn't move on flinching, as it does.
This never happens to me, I swear.
She looks at all you for just a brief second
and she says, it's stupid that you think I would come alone.
I mean, we met just as that happens.
Caporial smoke just appears all around you guys
and out pops five dark robes figures.
Shodi, you would recognize them at Tengu Ahtal
as the Magistarie at long brim hats,
dark robes all the way to their hands,
and from what you can tell, they look human.
They're human?
They're human?
Please tell me they're human.
From what you can tell.
Yeah, they're human.
As that happens and they all appear,
Jin uses her movement to jump at you anchor
and she goes and attempts to grapple you to the ground.
You want me to fight you?
I am, I am.
I have a 23, so please don't hurt me.
You're lucky.
She jumps at you and tackles you
and you both start to scuffle around for a second.
She goes to try to pin you,
but you managed to push her off to the side.
But as you guys are kind of grappling and stuff
and when you guys finally break,
what everybody else sees is two anchors
standing right there off of all of you.
Dressed exactly like you.
Oh no.
Standing in a readied stance.
One of the other wizards is also going to tack on this round
because I just paired with this guy.
OK, OK, OK.
I don't get it.
So the Magistarie is attacking me
or is attacking someone?
Attacking one of you guys.
OK, cool.
They're paired together in the round.
Yeah.
It's OK, guys.
I have a fix for this.
One of them is going to look over to Vassoul
and he is going to cast something at him.
Big boys.
Vassoul has been kind of at the ready,
waiting for an opportunity to strike and attack,
switching to face one of these other wizards
that have joined the fray.
But as he does, one of them holds his hand out to him
and he just freezes and kind of shifts his gaze
and he kind of tightens the grip on his handle.
And he starts looking towards...
Oh no.
He starts to look at you, Snvall.
Oh no.
And takes a step forward with his weapon.
That'll end their turns up next.
You're Snvall.
Yes.
You're up.
Come on, Snvall.
You got this.
OK.
So we got the two anchors really quick.
Can I look and tell the difference in between the two
because one has scales and the other one doesn't?
Yeah, roll an investigation check.
Yes.
Oh, fuck yeah.
18.
18?
Yeah, you gaze into them and you can tell
you see the familiar scales of anchors,
the team of scales as well as the no scales in the other one.
It's the one on the left.
Anchors the one on the left and then I'm going to go ahead
to the wizards in front of me.
How quick?
The wizards not in front of you.
Vassoul is actually approaching you with his weapon.
Oh, OK, Vassoul.
OK, I'm going to dip out of that way
and I'm going to head towards Homeboy
that has him under control.
I'm going to get an opportunity attack from Vassoul
since he's in between.
OK.
On arm.
Strike.
12.
12 does not hit.
OK.
Oh, but this one does.
24.
Oh, shit.
And this is on the mage, right?
I mean, give me one second.
Let me roll Vassoul's opportunity attack.
OK.
That is a 15 to hit.
I'm at a 15 armor.
You take eight points of slashing damage
from his greatsword as he like cuts through
as you try to dodge between him to get to the other guy.
What was the attack damage for the second attack?
OK, that is we're looking at a six points of damage.
And I'm going to go ahead and with my bonus action,
I'm going to go ahead and do Fyss of Fury really quick.
OK.
Nat 20.
Yes!
Oh, yeah.
That's 13 extra points.
You weave past Vassoul taking a slight hit,
but you approach this one wizard and you just punch him once
and then you just get into the rhythm of it
and you sock him two more times.
And you deal him pretty good damage.
As you hit him, you do notice that he's got something,
some type of resistance on him, though.
But those blows were still hard enough
to do some significant damage.
That is that how much movement was that on me to get to?
Probably 15 feet.
OK, you know, I'm going to go ahead and my turn really quick.
Yeah, Kenny.
OK, I'm going to cast
Enhance ability at fourth level.
So I will spend my entire movement touching anchor,
snoop all, and let's go with Trig.
So you all have advantage on some saving throws.
Is it physical touch?
Because I'm a little bit further away from you.
It's physical touch.
OK, if not Trig.
You probably can't get me.
Then.
Yeah, because you're at the bow, right?
Rad.
Yeah, advantage on move from checks.
You will incur an opportunity attack.
And one of them is going to cast a spell.
And then if I can, if I have any movement left,
I'm going to charge towards the wizard,
or move towards wizard another charge.
OK, you'll incur one opportunity attack
since you're walking around to get to other people.
So give me one second.
They're going to cast a spell at you.
Make me an intelligent saving throw.
It's a knack for five.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, my god.
You take nine points of psychic damage on your next turn.
You can't take a reaction until your next turn.
And on your next turn, you can only do, you can only move.
You can only do an action, or you can only do a bonus action.
You cannot do either one.
Oh, shit, they slowed you down, huh?
So yeah, as you were running by and trying to dart through,
you just all of a sudden get just whips
with this psychic energy that just kind of rakes your brain
and it disorients you.
And you're slightly confused.
And you're trying to get your bearings back.
Anything else you want to do, Kenny?
Yeah, I'm going to cast command on the wizard.
And I'm going to say dive.
OK, is there a saver for that?
Wisdom.
Dude, that's a bonus action?
It is because she's an order.
Order the ring.
Whoa.
What's a dive?
14.
Am I going to get it?
Nope.
Shy at 13.
When Dive can drop, you're going to drop.
I don't know if he could dive in the sand.
He could go in the water.
It's fine by me.
Yeah, I mean, when you say dive, he immediately just
head plants himself straight into the sand
and just starts kind of digging his face into the whole sand.
Anything else?
No, trig.
Deploy and fix now.
And I take one of those little smoke grenades I made
and I tie it around an arrow and I shoot it in there.
I'm casting fog cloud right in the center of all of them.
I just create a 20-foot cloud of dense, heavy, dark smoke
that explodes out immediately enveloping everything.
Oh, shit, now I can't see no one.
Oh, shit.
Every day.
OK, yeah.
Well, everybody get on the boat.
I got the plan, though.
And that's my turn.
OK, yeah.
All of a sudden, just a whole ton of grade, thick smoke
just envelops all of you and you all just kind of disappear
into the fog and you can all hear everybody just kind of going,
whoa, trying to get their bearings and whatnot.
And that's your turn, trig.
Paunch, you're up.
I mean, if Paunch is within this fog cloud as well,
I think she would have gone from the woman, Jin,
to one of the wizards that has like apparated in front of her.
So she'll attack.
She has advantage because she's invisible,
but she can't see them.
So she is disadvantaged.
So maybe it's a straight roll.
Yeah, I'll give it a straight roll.
That's a 17 plus 5.
That'll hit.
And then she'll do 2D6 plus 3 piercing damage.
And it's one of the wizards, right?
Yes.
So they are going to take a total of 9 piercing damage
and then they need to make a strength saving throw
or be prone to DC's 13 strength saving throw.
That's a 7.
Yeah.
She pulls it down to the ground.
Like in the shadow, this one wizard
is looking around anxiously trying
to find the nearest person to maybe pop off on.
He just hears like this low growl.
And as he turns around, he just sees the six eyes of Paunch.
And she just jumps onto him and starts ripping into him.
And Paunch gets a little worried not
because it's so gruesome, but because she's really enjoying
him.
Everybody else in the darkness can just hear
just this girl scream of somebody growling
or that's it for Paunch.
Yeah.
Ravain is going to try to.
She's no longer invisible, by the way.
OK.
Ravain rolled a 1 on his attack roll.
Yeah.
In the fog cloud.
You'll hear a loose having an arrow and shoddy
as you're just kind of standing there.
You just hear the whiz and it just knocks into you.
You take two points of piercing damage.
And the arrow hits you.
Oh.
Oh.
Look.
That's Ravain.
Yeah, these two guys pop off two fire bolts,
but all you see is fire through the fog.
There's nothing.
Anchor, you're up.
I'm guessing I can't see Jen anymore with the fog going around.
Roll the perception check and see if you can.
OK.
Seven.
With advantage, or whatever, friend?
Four.
Perception's a wisdom thing.
A wisdom check.
Oh, cool.
OK.
Oh, nice.
I had no idea.
18.
18.
Oh.
You take a few steps forward.
You're trying to peer through it.
Eventually, you kind of see a shadow that looks like a person.
Do you think it's Jen?
I think it's Jen.
OK.
I'm not going to go smacking at shadows.
That's just asking for trouble here.
I'm instead going to use the rest of my turn
to get as close to Kenny as possible.
If I can see Kenny through the fog and stand immediately
next to them, is that a possibility?
I'll say with the 18, you can still
kind of make out shadows, and you
see a shorter frame of what might be Kenny.
Perfect.
All right.
I'll go stand by Kenny, and I'm going
to hold an action to attack anyone who might attack Kenny.
So if anyone makes an attack on them,
I'll swing at them with the club.
OK.
And that'll be my turn.
Show day.
I'm going to put Berana in the backpack,
scoop her up off the sand, put her in my backpack.
Say that's a bonus.
OK.
How close of a monastery to me?
There would be one about 10 or 15 feet away from me.
OK.
Then I'm going to use my movement and action
to go as far as I can towards the boat.
If I can get on the boat with my movement, I want to do it.
Yeah.
You do kind of break through the fog and stuff,
and you see Trig standing on the boat,
and you're making a wild dash to get
to some type of relative safety with Berana in hand.
Yep.
You like the sparks I put on?
Looks very cool.
All right.
Two more wizards are going to try to situate themselves
up in this bitch.
Kenny and Anker roll the intelligent checks.
I mean, intelligent saving throws, I'm sorry.
Even worse.
OK.
10.
As you guys are waiting in the cloud fog,
you are holding an action, right, Anker?
Yes.
Just smack anybody that comes within striking range of Kenny.
I'll give you that as a reaction.
Somebody does come through the fog,
but as you go to swing, this bright light and pattern
starts to form in front of you both.
And you guys are just being overwhelmed by this pattern
that just keeps flashing over and over and over again.
And after that, you guys become charmed.
And you have no movement or speed,
but allow you to attack Anker as you're holding the action.
Do I get both of my attacks since I held the action
instead of a reaction?
Sure.
OK.
The first is a natural 20, which I have great weapon master
attack, which means if I hit a natural 20,
I get an extra attack on that same.
So I'll do two more.
So the second attack is a 21 on the second one.
OK, that'll hit.
And then just a 19 on the hood.
Yeah, so all of those will hit.
So what's the damage?
The damage, about that.
Sounds heavy.
So the first one is the crit.
19 on the crit.
Here's the second one.
12 on top of that, which is numbers 31.
And then 14 on top of that.
So 45 points of damage.
Oh, stop.
Because I fucking home run them.
Man, that's about one third of a crit.
Yeah, one third of a crit.
That's insane.
As soon as that shadow came right into your vicinity,
you just knocked back your hammer,
and you just clocked him.
Bang, bang, bang.
And in that last instance, he just kind of almost reacts,
and he versus that hypnotic pattern at you.
And you end up just holding your weapon
and kind of just relaxing it.
OK.
Now you're charmed.
And move.
That's your turn.
Rad, you're up.
So much has happened in this round.
So he's like in fog, and he's like, dude, who ripped the bomb?
He's going to hear Trig back behind him.
But he, once per long rest, can cast slow.
So he's going to cast slow.
I can choose up to six creatures within a 40-foot cube,
and it doesn't mention anything about being able to see them.
So he would definitely target all of the spellcasters.
And just because he's not sure about Jin and where Jin is now,
I think he just casts it on Vassoul as well.
OK.
Hopefully, slow him down, so he's not as much of a threat.
So they all have to make wisdom saves.
The DC is 15.
So one of the spellcasters and Vassoul has slowed.
The rest of them managed to save out.
16.
OK.
So the one spellcaster and Vassoul
are going to take a minus two to their AC
and their dexterity saving throws.
They can't use reactions.
They can only use an action bonus action, but not both.
And the spellcaster, every time they
attempt to cast the spell, if they have a roll of d20
on an 11 or higher, the spell doesn't take effect.
Ooh.
OK.
Wow.
Yeah.
And then at the end of each of their turns,
they can make a wisdom save to try to break.
All right.
And then I think Rad would probably just back up
towards the water, get out of the fog cloud.
You take a few steps back.
Eventually, you make it out of the fog,
and you kind of turn around, and you
notice Shoddy running with a pack on their back
and Trigg just with his guns out.
Yeah.
I think I'd use all 30 feet of my movement
and just get as close as I can to the boat.
Pretty much at the boat getting up on it.
Ooh, top of the round.
What did she do?
Oh, yeah.
We haven't seen her attack yet, which is worrying me.
And she's now got the fog cloud, too.
She probably loves the fog cloud.
She's just stepping out of the fucking shadows.
Isn't that terrifying?
Like the Mandalorian in that one prison scene
and the darkness is popping up everywhere.
You know.
Oh, god.
And I'm charmed, so I can't even do a fucking reaction on her
if she does hit, too.
God damn.
Snavol.
Roll me this, Missy.
Yes.
Roll me a intelligence saving throw.
Damn.
I mean, it didn't help.
I got a 10.
10?
OK.
Yeah.
Trigg is humming danger music to himself.
You take 23 points of psychic damage
as the Magistar that you were engaging with
just reaches out and just grabs you.
Roll me a d6.
Three.
For the next minute, your mind is just muddled
and you're unable to concentrate and focus and stuff.
It's like that ringing in your ears
when a loud blast hits you.
During that time, you have to subtract three
from all of your attack rolls and ability checks
as well as your constitution saving throws.
OK.
But at the end of your turn,
you can make an intelligence saving throw.
Yeah, we got to get together.
OK.
Out of the smoke comes Anchor running towards the boat
as he's approaching all of you.
And he's kind of waving you guys and he's.
We got to go.
Hot dad captain, get on the boat please.
Wait, wait.
It might be a different one.
No, it's me.
I swear.
Why would you say, why would you think that?
Because she jumped on him and then there were two of him.
That doesn't make any sense at all.
I know.
Snowball, it's your turn.
I'm going to go ahead and use stillness of,
because you said I'm charmed, correct?
What was it?
Was that my charmed?
It's a key and Caleb are charmed.
Damn it.
Your mind is muddled with psychic energy.
You're not being charmed or frightened.
Fuck.
All right, yeah, it's time to eat.
OK, OK.
And I get minus three on all my attack rolls, so what's the point?
I'm going to still try something.
I'm going to go ahead and do an unarmed strike to the thing,
to the wizard and magistrate, whatever,
that asshole in front of me.
Minus three, OK.
I deserve that.
I totally deserve that.
I got a nat one.
Oh, no.
All right, so yeah, I fucked up.
So yeah, your mind is just so overwhelmed
that when you even go to swing, it's like limp noodle.
You're just flinging your arms back and forth.
OK, I'm going to go ahead and try one more,
because it's still disengaged as a bonus attack.
There's little baby dragons floating around the top.
Yeah, I'm hot.
I'm going to go ahead and get one other.
Oh, my God, another nat one.
What the hell?
The Lord.
The guys' gods have spoken.
No, OK, so I totally do my attack,
and I know I'm not going to do anything.
So as my bonus action, I'm going to go ahead and do,
what is it, my little steppies.
Yeah, let's do that.
Steppie of the Winzies.
Steppie of the Winzies.
The old incur and opportunity attack, if you do.
Well, I will, because I'm going to go ahead.
Wait, I'm going to disengage, because I can do that
at Steps of Wind.
I can spend one key point to disengage
and then go ahead and run towards the boat.
OK.
So that means no more fighty, fighty, right?
Yeah, if you disengage, you won't incur the opportunity.
All right, so yeah, I'm going to go ahead and disengage.
Steps of Wind, haul ass towards the boat.
Roll me an intelligent saving throw
before I narrate how you run off this beach.
I got a 13.
You do not save out of that.
But I'm still confused.
You're very confused.
Your mind is muddled and stuff like that.
As you come out of the smoke, you kind of tumble and somersault.
And you're just like, you know, when you're on a bat
and you spin around it and then you try to run,
that's essentially you trying to run down the beach.
No, it's just kind of leaning over and just going back and forth.
He's just Naruto running in the wrong direction.
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
Can I see under my toe?
Oh, copy that.
Well, they took our steppies from us.
This is too much.
We are fucked.
The school goes and tries to find somebody in the smoke.
Are you open at home?
He rolled a nap on it.
It's fucking good.
About time to spread that out.
Yeah, he rolled all over the place.
What?
I don't know.
Any man's game at this point.
Can you?
Can you?
And you can't move.
Can you break it at the end of her turn or attempt to?
Nope, there's no save out of this.
Oh, you're slowed and charmed.
Oh.
There are ways to get out of it, but it's not through a save.
We probably have to smack the guy that cast it.
Fuck.
So nothing for Kenny.
Uh, Trig.
Deploying fix part two.
That's another default.
Trig, save us.
I need you to save us.
And I take out this big old bag of ball bearings off of my belt,
and I throw it as hard as I can up above the fog cloud,
and I'm going to try to shoot at it to make the ball bearings
hail down into the radius of the fog cloud.
Okay.
You just get rid of the fog cloud.
I can't see anything.
That's the point.
But we can't see to help our friends.
But they can't be seen either.
They're going to die in there.
Paul!
Roll me a straight stack first to see how far you throw that damn bag.
And then roll me a pack into the bag.
And it'd be athletics.
Okay.
Okay.
Just because I want to see what happens.
I love that.
So here's the thing.
It's only a six.
Roll me the attack, because I assume you're doing this simultaneously.
Yeah, probably.
Trig.
The attack is going to be a 12.
Oh.
Okay.
All right, guys.
You go to throw the bag.
But it snags on something.
So all the momentum of it is lost.
And then you just hear it just like land in the sand right in front.
So the ball is like stumbling over.
Eventually the ball trips over it.
She's running towards the boat.
I let loose the arrow into the air and it just goes into the fog cloud.
You have no idea where it went.
All right, plan B now.
So plan B is I'm going to, using the movement that I still have,
I'm going to jump off of the boat and run screaming into the fog cloud.
And I'm just going to start tapping people until I find anchor and Kenny.
I will use an action search if necessary.
To locate Kenny and Trig.
An anchor?
Okay.
Did he know which anchor is the real anchor because there was another anchor?
All right, I think anchor is going back.
I'm just looking for Kenny.
I know anchor is going back to the boat.
Oh, good.
He's going to find me and tell me.
Correct.
Correct.
Yeah, you would have to use an action search to get because you're out on the shore
and it's a little bit ways up the bridge.
I will do that.
Okay.
Take that and then roll the perception check because you're going into fog
and I know you ain't got dark vision either.
This was a great plan.
So here's the thing.
What's the thing?
I hate you.
I hate you.
It's a seven.
Okay.
No, you dash in there, you run in there and you find the shadow of a person.
But you think it might be Kenny.
There you are, Kenny.
I found you.
Let's go.
You're just a pull that person out.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
When you come out of smoke, you're holding the hand of one of the Magistar.
Okay, plan C.
That's the end of my turn.
We used an action search to make our job harder.
Punch her up.
Yeah.
Punch has tasted the blood of humans and she's into it.
So she's going to just continue to chase after.
I assume this person that she made prone stood up and ran.
It's not their turn yet.
Oh, great.
They're after you.
So they're prone?
Yeah.
Great.
Well, with advantage, she's going to continue to chow down.
God, I rolled like shit.
Does a 12 hit?
No.
Damn.
All right.
So she does not bite him again.
And I think that's all she can really do.
Everybody who's still around could just still hear the snapping and the screaming and the
crying of this one particular person.
Good.
As though she did not hit, it is very terrifying.
Let's see if Revan can have any luck.
Revan's going to step out of the fog cloud.
He's going to see Trig and the Magistar that's with him and he's going to loose an arrow
at him.
Nope.
Yeah.
He lets loose an arrow and it just whizzes right by the Magistar in between him and Trig.
That will be his turn.
Anchor, you're up.
Put your charm.
Cool.
Thinking about my life choices at this point, remembering the good times.
You heard Trig and it sounded like he came in to rescue but then you heard him like come
and then you heard him leave.
I'm trying my best.
Shouting.
So that's an anchor running towards us.
How close is that anchor?
Anchor by now has probably made it to the boat.
Same as Neval.
Some all tripped over that bag of ball bearings.
He's like just right behind her.
I'm going to hold a second level Thunder Wave.
Okay.
And I'm going to say, what aren't we supposed to call you on the ship?
That's the question.
You say anything?
Doesn't say anything.
Just looks at you.
I loose the second level Thunder Wave.
Okay.
Is that a dex save or a con save?
It's a con save against 15.
Does that affect me?
Oh, fuck.
I'm so sorry.
Yes, it will.
That's what I'm saying.
I mean, I think it would affect me too.
I'm basically by the boat too.
It might knock you out of whatever funk you're in.
Can we stop doing Thunder Wave around the person who's like sensitive to this shit?
They make it out.
They make the save.
They make the save as a 16.
Okay.
So she doesn't get thrown away from me but she does take.
I'm going to use empowered spell to reroll that.
Hold on just a second.
That's better.
Nine.
So half of nine is fucking five.
Five.
Four.
She doesn't get pushed back.
Okay.
And my wild magic is a nine.
So we're cool.
Do Snooval and Brad need to make balls?
Yeah.
15.
15.
Red disadvantage.
Yeah, that sounds good.
What is it again?
Yeah, I fail with like a 10.
Oh.
You get pushed back 10 feet and you have nine points of damage.
I'm very sorry.
Okay.
Nine.
Same for you.
I got a six.
Same for you, Snooval.
At the same time, you also get wracked with that loud boom and your ears just ringing.
You go blind.
I need to make a concentration check or else drop my slow.
Okay.
It was nine, so I've got to beat a 10.
I roll an 11.
Nice.
All right.
And then from a movement, I'm going to back all the way the fuck up to the other end so
that Theron is as far away from that person as she can be.
And I'll draw my short sword.
Okay.
Sorry.
I did more damage than good.
Show to stop doing the thunder thing.
Sorry.
You're doing the thunder.
One of them is going to try to get off of Pawnch.
So Pawnch rolled me a strength check.
He rolled a five.
Pawnch rolled a seven plus.
Yes.
He tries to get off Pawnch, but Pawnch just kind of pushes him down.
Snaps and snaps at him.
The other one is going to try to get out of the fucking fog.
Just enough to get out of the fog.
Sweet.
He's going to see.
He's going to view Trig.
You're the closest.
That makes sense.
He's going to cast something.
Oh, no.
I'm actually very fragile when damage starts getting thrown around.
I don't want to make it quick.
Trig, you and I got to feel like we're going to meet up with this today.
Only one of us will deserve it.
Hey, I'm not feeling so pretty in this fucking charmed fog cloud either.
Yeah.
Same with poor Kenny.
Hey, Kenny, you might not have us anymore.
So you got what you wanted.
That's not what you wanted.
Poor Kenny comes out of all this and we're already dead.
Trig rolled me an intelligent saving.
Are you killing me?
Why even ask me the role?
Natural one.
Natural 20.
Get the fuck out of here.
Amazing.
Force of chaos.
Nice.
Okay.
That will end its turn.
Can't do shit.
That makes no sense.
Glad day.
You've been knocked.
You've been knocked home by his shoddy.
And when I sit up in the water, do I still see anger or does anger's appearance change?
No, anger is still there.
Our best option.
Is the boat fixed or no?
Is it still damaged?
This boat is fine.
It didn't get any damage.
Yeah, I think priorities to get out of here.
So I think...
Would you have heard me ask about what would it be?
Yes.
Yes, that's true.
Yes.
Yeah, you're right.
Okay, so I think...
Do you have Barron?
She's on my back, yeah.
Okay, then I'll definitely defend Barron.
Keep out of the water with my longboard and just try to smack him with my surfboard.
You're going to smack anchor?
Anchor.
Okay.
Roll attack.
Oh God, now I've rolled a 12.
12?
12 will not hit.
Yep.
What is up with that roll tonight?
You swing your board, but it's a little awkward and you kind of bring it down just right next to anchor.
And our gear just kind of turns against the look.
Top of the round.
Roll me an intelligence saving throw.
Okay, this time I rolled well.
Intelligence is a minus one, so a 16 total.
Anchor kind of like approaches you and kind of asks you, what are you doing?
But for a moment, you just kind of feel like this muddledness kind of fill your brain for a second,
but you're able to kind of break out from it.
I'm defending Varon.
You know that anchor.
You wouldn't have to ask me that question.
Why are you talking to me?
Because you're not him.
How do you know?
We don't know any of this.
We're just following our fucking guts.
We heard anchor go above like a stern, not even shout, just like a maybe his inside voice the entire time.
We've never heard him shout.
Anchor's never yell.
Not yet.
Not yet.
The other Magistari is going to approach Kenny and anchor,
and he is going to hold an action because you guys will be breaking out of this shit.
Snaval, you're blinded, you're confused.
It's kind of rough out there for you right now.
What do you want to do?
Okay, I'm going to get best as I can on that boat.
Wait, before I get on the boat, can I grab two of the ball bearings that are on the sand?
You can do an investigation check at disadvantage if you are blinded.
Did the bag even open though?
You don't know.
I mean, it wasn't the worst role I've gotten today.
Eleven.
I mean, it takes you a few minutes, but...
Oh wait, just a minute.
Eleven.
Poor white woman searching through the sand for balls.
You're just, like, tapping the ground.
I just want to know if I could grab a ball.
That's all I want.
You eventually find a stack and you can feel the ball bearing inside of it.
Great.
I'm grabbing that stack.
Oh.
Okay, I'm going to grab the stack of balls.
What's going on, Lizzy?
And I'm going to get on the boat.
I would say you're working your way up on the boat.
It took half your movement to get up.
Okay, let's do that.
Okay, so that's my entire move.
Am I just on the edge of the boat?
You're, like, one board still getting up, but you're slowly clamoring.
It's very clumsy.
Okay, I'm going to just fucking do it to see if I can get this whatever,
because I don't think that's anchor.
I'm just going to go ahead and do an hour of reaping,
so they have to do a wisdom saving throw to see if I can frighten them.
I'm going to go ahead and let out a massive roar right on the edge of the boat.
So you're frightening?
Anchor, because I don't believe that's anchor.
That's a faking.
Anchor and a faking.
Rad can handle it.
What's the DC?
12.
And what kind of saving am I making?
A wisdom saving throw, I'm sorry.
I rolled a 13, so I barely squeaked it out.
I knew, I knew, I knew Rad would be fun.
I also, I also succeeded with a 14.
Adam, fuck!
All right, sorry, I tried it all.
You won, and both anchor and Rad, or both anchor just looks at you.
Confused, he looks very hurt that you guys are attacking.
That's the end of my turn.
The patterns start to kind of fade away from your gaze and stuff like that.
And you realize that now you're back in the middle of this fray.
And there is one guy, one of the magistarys standing in front of you.
And when you kind of look at his face, you notice that there's a metallicness to his face.
And his eyes kind of glow green.
That's all fine.
Here, I'm going to put my Ykloboa in his throat.
Roll that attack, he's also going to attack you.
Yes, he's also going to attack you as you are...
Actually, better, better, better.
He's on the beat, we're going to do inflict wounds instead.
All right.
And put to wounds, hell yeah.
That's going to be a 17 to hit.
17 will definitely hit.
I want to kill him a lot.
So let's do fourth level.
I'm tired.
Roll me an intelligent saving throw.
That's an eight.
Do I get my inflict wounds?
You will get your inflict wounds.
But he was holding an action to cast a spell at one of you when you attacked.
So roll that.
Okay, cool.
That was an eight, and I did 32 points of damage with the inflict wounds.
Nice, nice.
Close one was a guard.
Though you managed to inflict wounds on this person and you inflicted some dangerous-ass wounds on him,
he's barely hanging on.
He casts a spell at you.
As he puts his hand on you, your mind also kind of goes a little bit haywire.
As now when you kind of look at anchor, you don't notice him as anchor.
You notice him as one of your enemies, like a pirate of one of your pasts,
who's got a sword drawn and is looking like he wants to attack you.
Okay, okay.
And you are frightened by it.
You want to attack him.
Okay, wait.
Afrightened?
Like frightened by TM?
Or I want to attack him?
You just, you can't just, he looks like an enemy like he's going to attack you.
At your turn, Kenny?
Yeah.
I'm so slow, right?
You're not slow, did the magisteria.
Okay, then instead, I have one more thing I want to do.
I want to use, I can't find it.
Oh well, never mind.
I want to cast Command again at, I want to save my third level spells,
but we'll do one, in fact, third level, him and any other of the two closest wizards.
The command is going to be choke, so they can't cast verbal spells anymore.
Ooh.
Nice.
Got to save out of that or?
Yeah, a wisdom DC-14.
Two fail, one succeed.
Lost.
Lost.
Pretty good.
The, the, the tightness and their throats.
Feel the choking the one in front of you kind of like holds on like to his neck as he feels
just this comfortable pressure.
Try the homelike.
That's my turn.
Okay.
Yeah, that's my turn.
Trig.
Okay.
So to be, to clarify, I have a guy like in front of me that it was masquerade than his
Kenny, right?
Did I dragged out?
You thought it was Kenny because you couldn't see in the fog and you pulled out this random
stranger, somebody you've never seen before.
You're not Kenny.
I just barrel roll back into the smoke cloud.
Now I would cast Zephyrstrak, but I'm out of spell slots, so I can't.
Oh my God.
So I'll have to take the opportunity attack.
So does he, does he take an opportunity attack on me or am I good?
Yeah, he'll take an opportunity attack.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
What spell are you doing?
Roaming intelligent saving throw.
12.
12 does not succeed.
As you're running, as you're sprinting, like you just like, you're like, you just, everything
goes for blur for a second.
And when you kind of look out at everybody around you, they all look like bandits.
I'll kill every single one of you.
All right.
And okay, so that was my movement.
And I think everybody's bandits.
So I'm in kill dirty Larry mode, so I'm just going to start shooting wildly into the wind.
I'm going to hit whatever I'm going to hit.
Oh no.
You're heading towards the boat, correct?
I was thought it was heading away from the boat because I pulled the guy out and then I wanted to go back and find Kenny.
So I rolled back into the smoke cloud.
He's making sure.
So yeah.
The fog cloud is still up.
The fog cloud is still up.
God damn it.
Okay.
It was a grenade.
What do you want me to do?
You cast it.
Oh, damn it.
Roll your attacks then.
Okay.
I'll give you the first two there.
So I'm assuming they're a disadvantage because it's ranged and I can't see.
Yes.
But I'm still going to do each at one at sharpshooter.
Okay.
Because that way it's less likely I'm going to kill one of my friends, but if I'm going to kill one of my friends, I'm really going to kill one of my friends.
Good.
Good.
Okay.
So the first one is a 10.
The second one is a 16 crossbow expert third one.
That'll be an eight.
It's only one hit.
Something.
One of them hit something, but it was sharpshooter and I'm going to make this particular one a disarming attack and see if I can knock their weapon into the smoke cloud.
I'm firing into the abyss of the smoke cloud.
Roll me a d6 to see who you actually fucking hit.
I roll a one.
Oh God.
Now you're lucky.
And then it's going to be a DC 14 strength check where they drop their weapon.
It won't matter.
It won't matter.
It won't matter to the one.
Kenny as you're like standing there engaged with that one magic star.
Oh no.
The arrow just like clips into its neck as he starts to just bleed out from.
It was 24 points of damage.
Yeah, you obliterate.
He did that.
Flaps is on the ground.
We got one.
Last thing in my turn.
Just let myself fall prone on the ground to minimize the chances that someone could hit me in this cluster.
And that'll be my turn.
I'm sorry.
Punch.
Punch your head.
Punch your head.
You fell on that one.
Punch save us.
Punch.
Yeah.
Poncil just keep trying to attack anything you could find in the thing or the cloud.
She's still on top of that one guy.
He killed the save to get out.
Attacking a disadvantage.
If you're both in the cloud and it's a melee attack, you get advantage because they can't
see you, but you also get disadvantage because you can't see them.
So it neutralizes.
It's a straight roll.
So it's just a straight roll for melee attack.
Okay.
Natural 20.
There you go.
Rip that motherfuckers throw out.
That's odd.
That's right.
Everyone's on.
Six moms and an aunt at the top.
Okay, so doubling the dice, a 20 piercing damage.
Cool.
And they need to make a DC 13 strength save or be pro.
Five for the roll for the save.
So he's still stuck.
Yeah.
It's just like a fucking just hungered ravenous ass dog.
She just chews into his throat and just starts to tear at it.
The screams start to get gurgled as blood just starts filling up into his throat.
He's still alive, but he's hanging in there.
He wants to go at this point.
This is like, this is the terrible way to die for vain is out of the fog.
He watches trig run back into the fray, but he's going to attack the one Magistar who's
still out of the fog.
And that's finally we he lets loose to arrows does 20 damage on this guy into one of the
Magistar who's heading towards the boat.
Nice.
And his turn.
One of them is going to find you and you Kenny and an anchor.
He is going to see that you Kenny are the most dangerous out of the two.
He is going to cast.
Is he doing this like within five feet of us within reach of my weapon.
Yes.
Could I use a reaction to use my Sentinel attack against.
Yes, because by now a minute is up and you would be free of of what's binding you.
Right.
Nice.
I'm going to try and do that.
Kenny.
Um, this the Magistar approaches you Kenny and like he just puts a hand like right onto
the metal wires of your face and he castes a shocking grasp and he succeeded within that
20.
Oh, you're going to take 12 points of lightning damage and you can't take a reaction at the
start of.
Okay, that's fine.
His hands just reach onto the easier side and it just like you see lightning just rake
across your metallic visor over your face and it's just terrifying anchor for you to
kind of witness that but you also you can also use your reaction to the Sentinel.
Okay.
Is it 21?
21 will it hit?
Okay.
And it is a 17 points of damage.
As he's just focused on like that electric grasp on Kenny, you just sweep in and knock
him over and push him out of the way, dealing some damage.
Yeah, he's starting to kind of breathe a little bit heavier.
He's looking a little tired.
He's looking a little hurt, but he's prepared to engage both of you still.
Gosh.
But since there's this fog cloud anchor, you're up.
All right.
I'm going to swing at that guy, the one that I just struck.
I'm going to give him both hits.
So.
The first is 21 again.
And then the second is a 22.
Yeah, both of those will hit.
Okay.
Cool.
I'm going to kill him.
25 points of damage.
That's enough.
Yes.
I want to smack his jaw off basically, you know, prime him in the stomach to fix him
up for a good target and then swing back and just straight for the mandible.
You like, you, you knock it into him and you feel like metal on metal.
And then when you go to crack him across the.
You just see just a whole metal jaw just like clank off on the floor as it's like
this blackish, oilish acre kind of just drains out of it.
It is.
He just collapses on the ground.
Is he more for a church or for.
Oh, it's got bleeds black.
I love how like like an I were just instant.
We're like.
That's my turn because I'm just going to follow Kenny if she moves around and we
haven't moved around yet.
So I'm just staying as close as I can, even though she probably looks petrified of
me and I'm very confused.
Show day.
So there's a Magistar running toward the ship out of the fog cloud.
Yes.
There's not anchor.
Is there a way I can position myself with my movement to put the Magistar and the
not anchor in a straight line with each other?
No, they're coming from do two different parts of the beach.
Okay.
Then I will deal with the bigger threat right now and I'm going to cast light and bolt
on the not anchor.
Okay.
And she's engaged with rad.
Correct.
Yes.
Roll the d20 first.
Ah, ah, finally.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Of course.
This is happening.
First of all, you've had so many wins.
You did.
You cast lightning bolt, right?
Yeah, I did it, but they didn't take their damage yet.
I'll take the damage, but you go.
Okay.
She has to make a deck saving throw against her team.
15.
She rolled a natural 15.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
I'm going to use empowered spell to reroll some of my damage.
So that's nine and six is 15.
19.
Three more.
30 points of damage.
Half to 15 because she fucking saved.
And then yes, I did roll a fucking natural one.
You know what to do.
So I'll like, I'll like summon the lightning into my sword and like conduit it out into
her chest.
And then here's that a six.
You transform into an empty barrel.
Ron at least inside the empty barrel.
Yeah, Ron will fall into the barrel.
But as I mean, you're standing in the back of the barrel.
So I mean, you're just sitting next to a bunch of barrels.
Oh nice.
It's like prop hunt.
It's like prop hunt where like no one knows what I am.
Uh, Paunch, roll me a strength check to see if my boy.
God damn it.
This is a tune.
He's just going to die this week.
Come on Paunch.
Yeah, he rolls a 12.
Fuck this.
He's a big guy.
Paunch is getting on his chest.
He's getting out and taking bites every chance she gets.
He's not going anywhere.
I was going to try to find somebody.
Nope.
The other magic star eventually stumbles out of the fog.
He sees your vein.
He's going to cast a spell.
And it doesn't do machine.
Your vein seems to be unbothered by it.
And that would be its turn.
Rad, you're up.
Yeah, I got to keep attacking this person.
This time I'll back up a little bit and I'll just fire two eldritch blasts at him.
Okay.
First one is dirty 20.
Yeah.
And then a 15 plus seven, which I think also gets.
So that's 2d10.
15 damage.
He takes it.
Slightly hurt.
Still looking very confused and giving that expression of just like, why is my friend attacking me?
If you know.
Is that all you're going to do?
Yeah, I'm just going to keep engaging with this guy.
I got to keep away from Braun.
Top of the round.
That guy is dead.
So it's just the one.
Well, me and wisdom saving for Rad.
Wisdom save.
That's 19.
God damn it.
Yeah, I got good wisdom.
He just keeps putting his hand out towards you and wondering why you're keep attacking him.
And you keep feeling something more to it, but like it doesn't seem to be taking any type of hold.
Stop touching me.
That'll be, that'll be.
And it's turns.
Neval, you're up.
You are broken from that, that psychic energy.
You're still kind of riding that wave of being blasted though.
So you're so kind of blinded and you're so kind of, it's hard to hear and see,
but you're clamoring over the side.
When you make it up on the boat, all you see is like nothing.
No one's on the boat.
That's fair.
I'm going, I don't see anyone on the boat.
I'm going to go ahead and get to where fake anchor and Rad are.
Like how much movement would I use for that?
I would say it would use about 20 feet of movement.
Okay, I'm going to go ahead and do that.
And can I take a look into him to make sure that that ease, in fact, the wrong anger?
Yeah, roll me an investigation check.
It's like that game with the cups and you have to guess which one has the toy in it.
What does a 15 get me?
It gets you nothing.
You lose.
Dang.
Dang, sir.
Being still kind of blinded and that buzzing in your ear, it's hard to make a grasp of what
his inner scale looks like.
It's hard to tell.
You might see it.
You might not.
It just keeps coming in and out.
You can't tell whether or not the scale is there or not.
Oh, okay.
I was trying to see if I could work tricky.
Obviously they won't work.
Nice try.
You got to give me a shit.
I was trying, y'all.
Okay.
Okay.
So the sack of balls that I have.
Yep.
Continue.
I'm going to go ahead and toss it.
So therefore, technically, it's not really an attack, but it's kind of like I want them
to grab it.
So I'm just going to toss it to them and then I'm going to go ahead and do two unarmed strikes.
That was my plan all alone.
What does a 15 and an 18 get me?
Do they both hit or no?
Please don't make this the new way you announce when you roll.
What does a 12 get me?
I'll stop.
The 15 gets you nothing.
18 will get you something.
And good.
Fucking buff.
What the shit?
That's seven points of damage and do Fury of Blows.
Come on.
Yeah, dirty 20.
Thank you.
Okay.
That is 16 points of damage.
Yeah, he's barreling to anchor with her punches after he catches the bearing bag.
I'm down.
What?
No.
What?
Seriously?
No.
I haven't even been touched yet.
Yeah, that's not even me.
Oh.
Thank you.
Is that all for use to the ball?
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Perfect.
All the soul.
All right.
The soul makes it out of the fog.
There's one magic star ring who's been engaged with Vervane.
He is going to attack that guy.
Finally, he got a nat.
Oh, yeah.
Turn him into paste.
I'm going to bonus action region as well.
He does 20 points of damage to this one magic star.
All you hear is this guttural roll, like elephant roar.
As he comes out of the smoke with his bone sword
and just clobbers into this guy.
He runs and fucking over.
Yes.
He's still alive.
He's on the last, like, Kenny, you're up.
Ah, yes.
Kenny is going to, because at this point,
one of the people ships fighting just died,
there's still another one next to her.
So she's going to back up towards...
Who else is still out here?
Is it just...
I think it's...
I'm right next to you, but I think you're still afraid of me.
Right.
Is everyone else towards the boat?
They all left us.
I think Trigg is here.
Trigg is laying down on the ground somewhere.
In the fog.
Most people have left the fog.
I think you anchor and Trigg and one of the magic star are left in the fog.
But everybody looks like an enemy to you.
Is that magic star the one that I hit last?
No.
No, I killed him with the jaw.
Oh, no, you killed...
Actually, no, it's just anchor.
I'm sorry.
No, it's just anchor.
You killed the last guy.
Oh, it's just anchor?
Yeah.
No, it's just anchor.
Because Trigg killed the one and anchor killed the second guy.
And it's just you and he looks like an enemy.
Furnace goes.
Okay.
Well, Kenny's going to activate the radiant consumption again.
So, flame on.
Flame on.
Four points of damage to me, eight points of damage to you anchor.
And I was, I don't know if I should just do what I was going to do anyway.
As far as you know, you're in danger and this person has the capacity to harm you.
All right.
Well, one more command for the Holy Ghost.
Yeah, it's going to be Neil.
That's a wisdom saving throw for 14 points.
Kenny just turns to you anchor.
And for a moment you think it's like everything's good.
Like the dangerous past.
You've got the guy.
And then you just see the wires on her mask just coiled back.
And then you just like look her for the first time ever in her actual phase.
And then she just shoots you with radiant energy.
It just burns through you.
And after she does that, you just all of a sudden are just oddly compelled.
And you just take like a knee down right in front of her as you just look on to the smoldering,
wired frame, anchored look of Kenny.
Brutal.
Dude, do I get a like a view of what her face is like under the mask?
Is it any different than I'm aware of when the mask is on?
Okay.
So there's like light pouring out of her mouth or nostrils, her eyes, but her eyes are also
all black apart from her gold pupils.
But everything else is completely black.
Jesus.
Jesus.
Okay.
Cool.
That's incredible.
Worth the damage.
I'll take it.
Trigger on the ground.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
So radiant energy like in the fog cloud, you've seen exchanges as you lay down on this ground.
But yeah.
Now, now you know it's time.
Don't worry.
Everything's going to plan.
And I'm going to start crawling forward as fast as I can.
I don't know where Kenny is, but like I'm going in the direction that I was just shooting
because I heard someone gas, but it's like a direction to go.
You saw the divine energy blast out.
So you're just crawling towards that.
You think it's Kenny.
Kenny's got a lot of divine energy.
I'm going the right direction.
I mean, eventually you with your movement, you make it to Kenny and anchor.
You see anchor kneeling before Kenny and Kenny just with this, this rage upon her.
It looks like she's going to fuck up some shit.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I don't know.
We have two anchors now there, but we have two dads now.
And that's not a bad thing, but don't ask one of our dads.
Come on now.
I'm going to, I'm going to interpose myself between anchor and Kenny.
Easy.
Kenny, when you, when you see this and trig stands before anchor, this is the same thing.
He looks like an enemy to you, like a pirate, like somebody who is set to harm you.
Can I just tackler and wrestler to the ground?
Uh, yeah, you got an action.
I'm going to do that.
All right.
You take eight points of damage.
Worth it.
What was your role for the tackle?
So that's going to be a 16.
Kenny.
Blastrain check against, against him.
Tested strike mean 17.
Damn it.
Trig, you tackle, you tackle Kenny on the ground and you guys kind of get into scuffle,
just like manages to just flip over and pin you straight to the ground as tiny as she is.
Just straight up pushes you into the ground with all of her strength.
I'm strolling for time.
That was my plan.
Her whole body is extremely like, it's like, it's not fired image or anything, but it's,
it's hot.
It's very, very weird.
It's the weirdest sauna ever.
And that's my turn.
Punch, finish off your boy.
Yep.
If he's there, he'll attack him.
That was a 16 hit.
60 boy.
Okay.
He's on his last legs.
His throat's bleeding out.
He's kind of panicking at this point.
So 12 total damage.
12 total damage.
That is enough.
Okay.
Yeah.
Punch just rips into his throat one more time and eventually you just hear the snap as
the body goes limp and punch just as she's sitting there on top of this creature and just standing
over it, blood and like saliva is just kind of dripping down from her.
Shadows just start to kind of develop it and eventually the body disappears.
Interesting.
But it wasn't there like the Warforged?
No, it was a human being.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Punch ate him.
Vervain is going to attack Vassoul.
That'll hit.
Vassoul's going to take, Vassoul's going to take 12 points of piercing damage as he puts
an arrow into him.
Vassoul's going to turn around and he's going to kind of vor at Vervain and we both kind
of seem to square off with each other.
That'll be their turn.
Those guys are dead.
Anchor, you're not kneeling in front of Kenny anymore.
She's pinned Trig, but you're there.
Does that mean I still get my turn despite the command spell?
Like I can act?
Don't think so.
Okay.
So that's my turn then.
You have to kneel there and you witness Kenny and Trig to the ground.
That's your turn.
What is happening?
Shoddy, you're a barrel.
Can I do a barrel roll?
You have the intelligence of a barrel.
I'm assuming that's zero.
Ron sitting inside just kind of tapping up against it.
You feel her.
I try and like, no, I don't try and do anything because it'll give her away.
So I just stay very still and I think calm, sweet, loving thoughts to my sweet little
baby even though I'm a barrel made of wooden metal.
Who's a barrel trying to raise my kids?
One of the last magistari who's running towards the boat is going to make his way
towards Rad and Anchor.
He's going to cast Magic Missile at you, Rad.
Okay.
He's going to cast it at level three.
I'm going to split it and both Rad and Snavol you're going to take four points of damage.
Got it.
But he's using the rest of his movement to try to approach the rest of you.
Rad, you're up.
At this point is everyone on the boat or no?
No.
You haven't seen Trig, you haven't seen Kenny at all during this time.
When you look at the boat, you don't even see Shoddy on the boat anymore.
Got it.
So Trig and Kenny are somewhere in the fog.
Yes.
And there is a magic man and there is Anchor around us, right?
Yes.
And also up the way up on the beach outside of the fog, you see Vassoul and Dervain
and they look like they're going at it with each other.
So besides Shoddy who has disappeared, I have no other allies around me?
No.
Well, Snavol.
You know what?
I'll try to pop off to Eldridge Blast Shot.
Magistari who's approaching.
It's a 15 plus seven.
And then a dirty 20.
So that's 2d10.
It's nine points of Eldridge Blast damage to that guy.
He's hit with that Eldridge energy, but he's still up, still moving.
Yeah, and I think I'll just position myself to where I'm physically on the boat,
fielding them.
Okay.
You're still on the beach, right?
Yeah, I've always kind of imagined myself either on the beach or like in the water
and now I'm just going to, you know, use the rest of my movement to try to get like onto the boat.
You'll incur an opportunity attack by anchor.
Yeah, that's fine.
Okay.
Whatever proves he's a damn liar.
Ooh, misses.
Nice.
Yep.
You try to make your way back to the boat and he just like swings at you and you could
swear on like as his like fists swipes past you, you can hear the ringing of metal passing
by, but he misses you as you scramble for the boat and you make it up.
You blew your cover, dude.
Top of the round.
He's gin around.
What's she doing?
What is she?
Gin is, is anchor.
Gin is who I think we're fighting.
Yeah.
She is going to, she's going to drop the illusion, but she's going to just shift and change.
And she's going to shift from anchor and she's going to shift into snowball.
Ashley does that right before she shifts.
She kind of stretches her hand out to the sky.
Snowball, you would kind of notice an illumination on something on her finger and then she shifts
into you and she just takes a stance.
Well, well, well.
She is you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, she looks like.
She shifted into snowball.
Gotcha.
It's your turn.
Okay.
We're going to go ahead and go for an unarmed combat.
13.
13 does not hit.
And I'm going to do my breath weapon and you have to do a dex saving throw of 12.
12?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Nope.
That will be a 13.
Okay.
So that's fine because you still take, you still get half the damage really quick.
Sure.
Almost half the damage.
15 and a half.
That's seven.
Yeah.
You go to strike yourself and you dodge and then believe, but then you use the breath
weapon and those kind of dodges clips her in the shoulder, burns off some of the rubage
of what it looks like.
I'm going to go ahead and disengage, steps and win and rush back onto the boat.
Okay.
The soul is going to fight for Vayne.
He does 10 points of damage to him.
Damn.
They're just fighting each other.
They're just going at it.
You get a chance to look at it.
It's just a wild like for veins like dodging around.
His bustle is just swinging his giant sword.
They're just going to fucking at it.
Kenny.
Yes.
You pinned trick to the ground.
You're looking at him with fury.
He looks like an enemy of yours.
Hi.
I'm going to put my spear in his chest.
You're going to put your what in my what?
I'm going to put my spear in.
Okay.
So I'm pretty sure there's a 22 hit.
Yeah.
What does a 22 get me?
You also get advantage because you got your, I'm pro.
I have the high ground.
You have the high ground.
It's a natural one.
So yeah.
So it's just going to hit.
Okay.
That's a 7.
Just getting 9.
Okay.
11 points of damage.
I pull the spear from my back and just.
Oh, that's a real weird way of saying hello.
At your turn.
Yes.
Oh shit.
Eight.
Yeah.
Eight damage for you or damage for me.
Okay.
Trick.
Now it's your turn.
Okay.
So there was a spear in my chest.
Yes.
I don't like that.
Now I think I just got unlucky.
So I have a very long length of rope about my belt.
I would like to spend my action trying to hog tie candy because I've had enough of this malarkey.
Can you make a strength save?
Okay.
Okay.
Trick.
Do I have to roll two?
Yeah.
What do you roll though?
Athletics.
Yeah.
Rolling athletics check.
19.
Okay.
15.
Nice.
It takes a minute and you guys struggle on the ground.
And then once I have, there's a length of rope running off of it and she's just kind of like bound by like her hands behind her back and her hands are tied to her legs.
I'm pretty good at hog time things.
I've had a lot of practice and then I'm just going to start dragging her out of the fog cloud.
I like this little leash.
I mean, however far I can get.
Yeah.
You can move about 15 feet because you still have to stand up because you're prone.
But yeah, you're slowly tracking Kenny and since he found a dragger, like a bag across the sand out of the fog, you're on the cusp of the fog cloud and anchor you're watching.
And that's my turn.
Ponsure up.
You've consumed this soul.
What next?
I mean, she would probably just look for another soul to consume.
Oh my God.
Can she mechanically try to find another one or would that be an action?
The closest ones to her would be Vesul and Vervane since they're still up on the beach as well as Kenny and anchor and Trig.
The rest of them are on the coast near you.
I think she would like run in the direction of some noise and kind of come out of the fog cloud and realize that Trig is dragging Kenny.
And like the blood loss kind of drops and so I think she'll just assist him in dragging Kenny closer to the boat.
Yeah, she runs up to you and runs up to Trig and just grabs onto the rope and starts dragging Kenny along.
For Vane goes to shoot off two arrows as he's running straight for Vesul and he misses.
But he uses his bonus action with the shards on his feet and he just jumps up into the air and just kicks into Vesul and he like sinks a claw into his shoulder as he tries to wrap around and like get behind him.
Trig Paunch, the six-eyed shadow dog, has approached you and has grabbed onto the rope and is assisting you and pulling Kenny out of the fog.
You can see Vervain and Fasul fighting and action going on a little bit further down the beach.
I'm still taking all the credit.
As you should.
Anchor, you're up.
Alright, since Kenny is safe and no longer making me kneel before them, I'm going to try and get myself out of the fog using the 20 feet.
Okay.
And then I'll orient myself.
Do I see Jin anywhere?
Can I make a perception for who I think Jin might be?
Roll a perception check.
Okay.
Get your bearings out of this fog.
Oh, that's good.
22, 22.
You come out of the fog and like immediately the first thing you see is just the action between Vesul and Vervain.
As Vervain's kind of crawling around Vesul and Vesul's trying to reach out and grab him and like try to slam him down on the ground in the process.
If you look out to the boat, you don't see Shodi or Baran, but you see Rad making his way up onto the deck of the ship and two Snavals seemingly engaged with each other.
Do I have enough movement to get myself to the two Snavals this turn or would I have to dash?
You would have to dash.
Yeah, I'll dash so that I'm right up against them.
Is there any sort of indication which is my snowball?
No, not a first glance.
All right.
I'll wait for my next turn then.
I'm going to pay special close attention that's going to be, you know, the rest of my turn after my dash is trying to figure out which one of these is good to hit.
Okay.
Shodi, one more round with the barrel.
Oh, barrel!
Hello!
Snaval, roll me an intelligent saving throw.
Good save.
14.
He's ripping cotton over here.
Blowing hoes, baby.
So go to that fog cloud.
There you go.
Snaval, as you're standing in front of yourself, the other Magistari who's approaching casts the spell that you're not paying attention to.
I forgot there was one left.
Okay, well, that answered the question earlier.
Okay.
As you're, like, standing there staring at yourself, you see this phantasmal energy swirling around this Snaval behind you.
And it's about the size of, like, a 10-foot cube, and it frightens the fuck out of me.
And it's just looming over, and it almost seems like it's stretching out towards you.
Rad, you're up.
Well, Rad did see this person turn, so he's going to get within 15 feet of her.
Just say, get away from my friend, you bitch!
And he's going to just, um, he's going to use his steam breath and shoot a steam breath at her.
You're going against the person that looks like Snaval, not...
Okay.
Yes, yes, not actually Snaval.
So they are going to need to make a DC-14 deck save, or they're going to be hit with my steam breath.
Right now.
It's 15.
So they are going to take six fire damage.
And, yeah, I'll just kind of be, like, back to back with Snaval, just trying to protect the ship.
Okay.
You take a stance next to who you believe is Snaval.
You kind of glance over, and then there's just this, like, look of panic and fear kind of on her face.
That's what girls should do.
Snap out of it, Snooby, Snooby-Doo!
No!
I didn't see that one coming.
Honestly, I would say that is a thing of it.
Uh, she's going to attack you.
She's getting back used to the ball.
She's going to swipe at you with her pack weapon.
Packed weapon? No, that's illegal.
What does that mean?
We've already got one warlock on this team.
She's a dirty warlock.
Fucking garish.
Just wait till Lemos finds out.
Uh, I rolled a 16.
And a 17.
A damage?
Of AC attack.
I haven't gotten to the damage yet.
Oh.
Just do 16 and a 17 hit.
Oh, I'm sorry, 15.
Yeah, you trust me, you hit.
You take 10 points of slashing damage.
You just feel these blades just slash across your chest.
Dealing you damage.
Okay.
I am now down.
No!
Let's go!
Our cleric is a bad one.
No, no.
Cleric is, uh...
Oh, no.
I'm about to go see my god really quick, y'all.
Big heartbeat, gotta check in.
Snooze.
Just roll me a, uh, roll me your death save.
And roll me a wisdom saving throw while you're at it.
What is it?
Is it their turn?
Yes, it is their turn.
I got a 16.
That's a pass, that's a pass.
Okay, that's a pass.
Roll me that wisdom saving throw though.
Oh, get the fuck out of here, okay?
18.
Oh, all right.
That's good.
Uh, we'll come back to that.
What?
We'll come back to that.
What the fuck?
If you live, we'll come back to that.
Yeah, man.
Oh.
Vervain has been, like, kind of crawling around Vassoul,
like, poking at him with the shards on his feet.
Vassoul finally just grabs him from the back of his neck,
and he just fucking slams him down on the ground
as he just takes his weapon also and just jabs it right into him.
Yeah, they're just going fucking at it.
That's great.
Kenny, you're up.
Your hog tie being dragged by a dog and a cowboy.
Um, this is the last round where you,
you think that everybody's your enemy.
Okay, I'm going to make one last attempt,
um, and cast Channel Divinity, Orders the Man.
Um, so everyone, I can see or hear me,
and then 30 feet has to make a wisdom saving throw,
or be charmed.
All right.
Oh, man, man, I didn't touch him.
That sucks.
Does a 16 pass?
It does.
What about, um, yeah, God Clifford.
Uh, he's going to fail with a 10,
or she's going to fail with a 10.
She's okay.
Well, she's charmed.
Okay, I think that just means for now,
I don't get to like command them.
I think that just means they're done for now.
So she stops dragging you and starts licking your face.
Yeah, which is almost worse, but yes.
I mean, she did.
Yeah, she's got a lot of blood in her face.
Blood, slobber, shattered.
Trig.
Okay, so I'm still dragging Kenny,
and I'm going to pull them up to the edge of the water
near the boat, assuming I have enough movement to get there.
Uh, you're working your way down there.
It would take another round of dragging her.
Can I dash and pull her any faster?
Yes.
But you still wouldn't make it down to the beach.
That's okay.
I'll dash and get them as far as I can to the boat.
You gotta, gotta side swipe the fight that's going on
between Vassoul and Vervane.
Keep up the good work, Vassoul.
You'll get him.
She's going to like a wide circle around.
Um, is that all you're going to do, Trig?
Yeah.
Punch her up.
I'm charmed by Kenny.
I mean, punch is charmed, so she's,
she's going to do whatever Kenny wants.
Yeah, which just stopped pulling.
She's happy.
Wagon tail.
Wait, one thing for Vervane.
Vervane's going to stick his glaive into fucking Vassoul.
Wow.
Six points of damage to Vassoul.
It's going to be a very awkward conversation between two of them.
Yeah, when you figure that shit out.
Um, Anchor, now you're up.
All right.
Um, so I've seen bad snub all now since, right?
I mean, they did this spooky shit.
Yeah, you see, uh, blows exchange.
You don't actually see whatever,
whatever, uh, Snavol is witnessing.
You do not.
Okay.
But I do see that one of them is deathly afraid of the other, right?
Yeah.
And you can, you can see where we're rads kind of positioned
himself on the boat against Snavol.
So.
I'm definitely going to smack the only one that's standing then
because it seems like we haven't backed down.
I'm going to go for my two attacks, but first, uh,
I'm going to use my bonus action to use Fighting Spirit,
which is one of three I have.
It gives me advantage on every weapon attack this turn.
Um, and it gives me five temporary hit points now that I hit it.
And then I'm going to attack Jin.
Okay.
The first attack is a 24.
We'll hit.
What's that second one?
And then the second would be a 15.
Okay.
Yeah.
15 doesn't hit.
So then I'm going to use an action surge to attack two more times.
Okay.
Go for it.
With advantage.
That one's a 23.
I'll hit.
And that one's a 27.
Just off a nat 20.
Okay.
So I hit you what?
I think three times.
Yeah.
You hit me three times.
So that's 14.
14 again.
So that's 28.
40 points of damage.
40 points of damage.
40 points of damage.
Well, I didn't want to do it.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my God.
I love that.
I love that.
I love that.
Justice.
Real quick, I want to ask everybody, do we want non-lethal or are we talking to this
bit?
I mean, I guess I'm not even thinking about that.
I am going to take out both her knees with the first two attacks.
And then I'm just going to golf off her head, take off the mask completely.
I'm tired of masks.
You're going to take the mask off?
Yeah.
So knee, knee, and then swing up fucking Babe Ruth across the face with my big war
club trying to smack that mask off her face.
The sheer impact of it kind of dislodges the mask on her face.
There is no face there.
There is no indentation of a face.
It's just completely blank.
So is it like bare flat?
Like, you know, like Slenderman?
Okay.
Yeah.
So it's like, it should be there.
There is no face.
Oh, well then I'm going to prime up and take that last swing.
And right before I do, I'll lean in and say, I will never be what you are.
And then smack it across the face.
As you lift up that hammer, she's just laughing.
And just at the last second, right before you smash her head and she just shifts her
face one last time.
And the face you see is a face you recognize.
Oh, no.
It is a face of your youngest brother.
Yeet.
Oh, killed your brother.
And then you smash the face straight and kill her immediately.
Oh, no.
Oh, it has to be my youngest one too.
Oh, shoddy.
You pop out of being a girl.
But Ron kind of just like pops out into the air, but then she manages to float like she's
done before.
And then she's just kind of back into your arm.
You're standing on the deck and Anchor has just pummeled the face of Jin.
She falls on the ground.
Anchor.
Oh, fuck.
Is there still a mad...
One manage, Ari.
Yes.
He is making his way towards you guys.
He's at the coast now trying to get towards the like getting up on the boat.
I'm going to fire both this bitch.
Okay.
No, I'm not.
I don't want to do magic again.
What the fuck am I doing?
I'm going to shoot him with a fucking arrow.
Okay.
I'll draw my bow.
I don't have sneak attacks.
This is not engaged with anyone, but fuck it.
It doesn't matter.
I can't shoot for shit anyway.
It's an eight.
I was super round and weird four seconds ago.
The arrow was hard.
Yeah.
Shapes and colors.
Nothing makes sense.
Hold up, perspective.
Is that really Anchor?
She just kind of like looks around, sad this new ball's on the ground and just sucks.
Everything sucks right now.
The guy is going to cast a fire bolt.
Fire bolt, fire bolt.
Very important detail there.
Fire bolt.
Fire bolt.
No, he misses.
It doesn't matter.
He rolled like an eight.
Yeah.
He'd cast his two flames towards you guys, but it just overshoots and crosses over.
Rad, you're up.
I'm going to like see those, the bolts fly by.
Look at him and then just blast him with two Eldritch Blast.
It's an 18 plus seven.
Oh, and a natural one.
So just one d10.
Four damage.
He's looking very hurt, but he takes that square in the chest.
The other one just fizzles out.
It doesn't even go, but he's hanging in there.
I'll just finish my turn by saying,
someone needs to heal Snoval and we need to get out of here.
Snoval, roll me your, your second.
Okay.
That's him.
Come on, come on, come on.
I got a five.
One and one.
That's one.
You got one of each, right?
Yeah.
Snoval, you're, you're kind of straddling the void between life and death and you
eventually feel this kind of pressure and you kind of get kind of pulled down
into the, to the darkness and you're eventually your feet land on something
and you're standing in a void.
You look out in the hall, you look out in the distance and eventually you see
like one eye staring out into the darkness.
Hello.
Do you approach it?
Do you stay put?
I'm going to call out first to see if they respond.
Hello there.
Hi, Blinks.
Are you my guide?
Blinks again.
Is it once for yes, two for no?
I should have declared.
I have not a good question.
Blinks once is a time.
When you say that, you hear a, a, a slight laughter as eventually one eye
turns into another eye, turns into another eye and another eye and eventually
you see six eyes before you and a large smiling grin.
It doesn't have to be Deathwalker.
Somebody heal her before she's got to make that deal.
Oh shit.
Fossil is, is, is stomping on the ground as for Vayne is kind of wiggling in between
it, but they've just, he's not landing it.
Kenny, you're up.
How close am I to Subal?
You are, you are hogtied.
You are one, Trig is moving you.
This is for your own good.
Now you'll make it to the, to the, to the shore and you can get yourself up on the
boat.
You could probably do that if you dash and, but you have to get out of those, those
ties.
Okay.
Am I within 60 feet?
Yes.
He would be within 60 feet.
I'm going to cast mass healing word, which is only four points of damage.
Of healing damage.
Oh yeah.
That's a healing damage of anti-damage.
Um, for, this is really just negative damage.
Is that enough to bring you back?
Oh, so I'm having four now?
Thank God.
Okay.
Well, we'll take care of it.
Trig, you can untie me now.
How do I know?
I don't want to kill you.
I'll believe it when I see it.
I'm thinking about it.
Yeah, you saw it.
She healed everybody for four points.
Trig, it's your turn.
You promised you're not going to stab no one.
No, we're going to fight.
Why would I promise that?
All right.
Fair enough.
I'll cut her free.
But since it's my turn, when I cut, when I cut her free, I'll also try to like fire
manner over my shoulder and run back to the ship with her.
Yes.
Pawn just like following like close by the heel, just like looking up at Kenny.
You're bouncing along.
As you're approaching, there is a Magistarie.
Well, I'm going to use my action to dash to make sure that we get on the ship.
So I'm just going to try to navigate the round.
And if I take an attack of opportunity, so be.
All right.
He will take an attack of opportunity since you asked.
There's another fireball.
But he did a 17 plus.
That hits.
He takes seven points of fire damage.
My pants are on fire.
And I'm kind of like hobbling as, you know, trying to put my pants out as I'm hobbling
towards the boat.
I mean, you hit the water just as you get like kind of burns and you just like land in the
ocean and it kind of just helps out.
Can I also try to throw Kenny out of the boat?
Sure.
You can use the momentum.
Can you get tossed?
The rungs of the ladder that leads up to the top leads up to the boat or a rope that
leads up.
Okay.
She starts climbing.
Punch.
Punch is going to attack the Magistar.
I think he only rules a 14.
14 will not.
Okay.
He's just jumping around in the water attacking this dude.
He manages the dog, but he's freaked out.
Anchor.
I'm going to go and smack this Magistar.
Okay.
Yeah.
Jump down off the boat.
Yeah.
Burn another fighting spirit.
Go for it.
So two attacks with advantage against him.
The first is a 25.
And the second is a 22.
Oh yeah.
Those both hit.
Fuck them up.
So 24 points of damage?
Oh yeah.
That's enough.
Yeah.
So much.
Yeah.
You literally jump off the boat and use that momentum with your
and he just collapses under the weight of your war hammer.
Awesome.
Anchor for the fucking win.
Roller together.
It's kind of settled down.
You hear the clanging between Vassoul and Vervein, but eventually Vervein seems to dart
into the jungle.
And Vassoul is just like loudly trumpeting at him as he goes.
You know, it's a real shame we didn't get to say goodbye, but we need to go.
We don't know what's coming next.
Is Shodi's bear still on the beach?
Or not Shodi's.
I'm Shodi.
Is Barron's bear still on the beach?
Most likely I'm going to go get it.
We'll get the ship ready.
Yeah.
They mean to you.
Roll me an investigation check.
Oh fuck me.
Off a bridge sideways.
I was going to use tides of chaos on this, but that was stupid.
Because I rolled another natural fucking one.
Errol Redux.
I swear to God if I get hurt right now.
Errol Redux.
Roll me.
If you don't.
Oh my God.
Roll me that stuff.
I'm still, I'm so, I'm going to burn all my dice.
This.
38.
We need new dice.
What you going to turn into this one?
Butterfly.
You can always see a slug or something.
Come on spit some gold coins.
I love that.
I love that it's always turning you into something.
Every time.
Roll me a spell save DC.
A wisdom saving throw.
A wisdom saving throw.
Against your spell DC.
I think that makes it.
Yeah.
I got an 11 against my own 15.
You, you turn it to a cat.
I'm kind of like nudge up against Veron.
All right.
Well, that is just that.
No bear.
Let's go.
Nobody's going to check bodies.
Nobody's going to do anything.
You're all just running.
I mean, there's no danger.
There's no danger anymore.
It's just the Sewell standing on the beach and the scatter of bodies.
Just double.
Oh, did we get them all?
I think we got them all.
Hey, how about that?
Hold on.
Is Jin's body still on the deck of the ship?
Yes.
Then I'm going to go.
Let's check.
We'll take it with us.
Um, yeah, I mean, now that you mentioned the threat of danger is kind of past.
It would be nice to say by the Sewell.
All right.
But we'll probably go through the bodies.
Everybody will be investigation checks.
Well, we wrap up.
Oh, we might find the bear anyways.
Natural one.
I have a 22.
God, no.
I have another one.
I have a net one, too.
As you guys begin to search the body is snowball.
You are down in the darkness and you see the six eyes and the gleaming smile of this
cackling creature looking at you.
What do you want?
I mean, I want many things.
Freedom is on the top of the list.
Care to make a trade.
Let me hear the terms before I agree to this.
It's quite simple.
I'll leave you to whatever you're doing.
But eventually I need help.
I need the heart of a devourer.
A creature that defies the gods.
Bring that heart to me and we'll call it square.
I didn't agree to this yet.
I'm sorry.
What are you?
What are you giving me in return?
Your life.
Understand something.
My life is in the hands of the great guide.
If he wishes to take me now, then I have no choice but to go.
As you're saying that, her form gets closer to you as you kind of always feel that baited
breath and she just sounds very dark and angry.
She just says your guide is not here.
I am here.
There are so many ways to pass through to the other side, Deathwalker.
Some are quite unpleasant.
If it is my time, then it is my time.
I'm not going to be confrontational, but I'm going to go ahead and get into a meditative
pose and if they go ahead and do a blow, then I'm just going to take it.
You feel the creature, the iron, rusted iron chains of this creature kind of shift and
move as it grows larger and larger.
But as you kind of like close your eyes and you take a breath and you just put almost
faith into it.
All the darkness stretches these large golden hands that just kind of reach down into the
void and eventually just kind of wrap around you and just pull you up from the darkness.
You look down and all you see is the six eyes of that creature staring at you and laughing.
She says, maybe next time, as you wake up on the deck of the ship, taking a deep fucking
breath.
You're alive.
Just so you know, if everyone's curious, there will be tears coming down Snowfall's
face.
The rest of you, what did you guys roll for your investigation checks?
I had a 22.
Two, one.
Shoddy.
I just rolled an eight.
I'm a cat.
I can?
Oh, Joe.
You're a cat.
Yeah.
Pull up some cat stats.
Cat stats.
It doesn't matter because it's another natural one.
Oh my god.
What is that?
We need like a counter.
There needs to be like alarm bells every time it happens.
You're rolling me another deep hangover.
Magic count.
What could have happened to you?
11.
As you go to investigate the frustrations of being a cat, kind of poof in the surge
again.
And standing above you is this little songbird that's just tweeted a little song.
Roll me another G20.
Oh, sure.
A cat is a songbird.
Hang around this cat.
Some homework bound.
That's a natural 20, of course.
A natural 20.
It goes and it just lands on top of your head and just starts singing.
I put my ears back like a cat and just sit there.
Singing along, singing its tune.
Anchor, since you wrote the highest, you first searched it.
She doesn't really have much on her components and materials for casting spells and stuff
like that.
But the two notable things she has on her fingers is two rings.
One ring has a, it's a silver band with like an oval light looking stone kind of like in
the middle of it.
And then the other one is similar to that one, but it's got a red band on it.
Okay.
I'm going to take those two, throw them in my bag, and then I'm tossing the corpse from
the boat once I've assured there's nothing left on her.
Okay.
What was the other second highest investigation check for those who are on the beach?
Was it my one?
No, it was not your one.
It was my eight.
You look across like all the Magistare and none of them are really wearing any, anything
really of value.
They also have spell components, those materials and stuff like that.
They're spell books as well.
You can tell between the lot of them that there were two metallic humanoid looking creatures
and then three humans.
And they also two have, one of them has a ring on their finger as well.
Yeah.
I'll take the ring and I'll also probably scavenge them for spell components since I need them
as well.
Okay.
Yeah.
You got whatever you need.
Kenny, what did you, did you roll investigation?
Are you investigating?
Yeah, I rolled a seven.
Rolled a seven.
You know about the same as, as Rad, but other than that, that's all you guys fine.
The Seul is eventually going over through some of the bodies and he's slicing fingers
off of them with his sword.
He's cut up.
He's snorting kind of angrily, but you know, he's doing his thing.
Are you, are you guys going to say goodbye to him or are you guys going to dip?
I am going to say goodbye to him.
Probably check on him.
And I think Rad will say the Seul's already got so rough there at the end, but you were
a pretty awesome guy.
I think you deserve at least some kind of payment.
And I'm going to reach into my shell and pull out the orb of fire.
So do you think this would be useful with your tribe to be able to start fires and stuff?
He takes it and he looks at it and thank you.
I appreciate it.
You're welcome.
I hope it helps you and your people.
Well, are you all okay?
You will be okay.
As he's saying that trig is like struggling to like pull himself over the lip of the
ship.
And he's kind of just, you know, eventually you crests and he just kind of like flops
over the edge onto his back and just starts heaving.
I think that went real wild.
He looks back at you red.
Trying not to laugh.
He seems a little mused by it.
Well, I mean, I think we'll be okay for a little while.
We got rid of whoever that was, Jin.
I have a feeling it's not quite over.
Yeah, I think you're right.
So much weight is to go.
Yes, but you were a kind guide to us and I thank you for everything you did to bring
us to this moment.
I only wish that your life becomes quieter without us.
The life of my tribe is not one of quiet tenderness, but I get the sense that I understand.
I owe the debts and my debt is paid and I hope to lawloak will guide your way and keep
you safe as you travel the rest of this this mission.
Do you have any figures of your God that we might take with us as a reminder of you on
our ship?
He thinks for a moment and he eventually just pulls one of the fingers off of his necklace
and he hands it to you.
It's a reddish finger with a black nail on it.
I think Inker puts out both palms and takes it in and then bows and says, this is a most
honored gift and I will cherish it.
And he kisses the finger.
No, baby.
Boy, no.
He could have skipped that.
She's sticking up your nose.
What a snorted at that shit.
It's all knots graciously.
That gesture and that sentiment.
Does he mention you don't have to kiss the rock?
It's horrified by me.
The whole crew is horrified.
Shodi, are you on the...
Oh, you're a cat, damn it.
I'm a cat.
I'll hold Shodi up to say goodbye to.
We need like a flow chart that starts with Shodi.
Is Shodi an inanimate object?
Yes, just follow this for a second.
Vassoul is going to quickly just also pick up Goron and he's going to present her a small
necklace of the silver quipper teeth that you had made that you had handed it to him.
And he just kind of puts it.
It's like just three little teeth, but it's just like a little necklace and puts a rounder.
I'm going to go up and like cat lick his knee or however high I can.
He's like his ankle.
He kind of laughs and he's like, all this trouble for such a small thing.
And he just puts her back into your hands, Rad.
All right, well, I think we should be going now, guys.
Yes, we should be.
I'll just put my hand up and just like give, just like my parting thank you.
I'm still a little out of it, but yeah.
He gives you a look.
Not when I jump up on the ship as a cat, I will go and curl up next to Steve.
I just put my put my cat head on her knee and purr.
Thank you.
I need it.
After a while, you eventually turn back into Shodi, though.
Hi.
Oh, sorry, sorry.
You're just like on top of her.
I'm really sorry.
If she goes unconscious again.
Is it bludgeoning damage?
They didn't hurt you.
It was just a sudden expanse of sighs.
My head, my head's just in your lap now.
Yeah.
I'll pat it and then get it off.
Glad you're back.
You guys, you guys gather everything up.
You say your final goodbyes to Fasul.
He stands on the beach and sees you off.
It's it's in the middle of the night and it's dark and you have nothing but the stars that guide you ahead.
And you guys just set out into the channel.
And that's where we'll leave it tonight.
Oh my God.
After all of that, I imagine Trig is just like starfished out in the back of the boat and you just fell asleep like where he is since it was dark.
Oh my God.
Thank you.
