Starting point is 00:01:46 Yeah, game face. I'm your dungeon master, Brian Murphy joined by Jake Hurwitz. Hard one, sure, foot. Emily Axford. Moonshine Sabin, glad to be here. Oh, very nice. I had a whole another one planned and then I just all of a sudden I was like,
Starting point is 00:02:02 no, I got to talk about glad. You got to go with your inspiration and of course called Walt Tanner. Beverly Toe Gold the fifth. Just a simple lad from Glatteron here to help his good friend murder my former role model. And first I thought there was a rhyme. Just dating our name and our purpose. There's no time for rhymes. Oh that's a nice one. Just dating our name and our purpose. There's no time for rice. Oh, that's a nice one.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Just a paragraph, mission statement. And Chad and Sabin, here to make friends, but also sometimes now make friends. Here to make friends or murder former friends. Yeah, you guys did, it was like episode 11 or something that you guys were glad friends. Yeah, although I guess hard one hated them from the beginning.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Oh yeah, I always did. Hard to trust. Hard bun. No. This guy's gonna do something to fuck over my mother, I know it. All right guys, let's do a little recap. So last week you guys joined the bastards of none
Starting point is 00:03:02 and began sailing towards Emberheaven along the way. Munchine did a little scrying on Galadrozel and learned that the widow, aka Hardwan's mom, was currently trapped in his cursed sword. You eventually arrived at a hidden cave away from the prying eyes of the city, but found that another boat was docked there. You engaged with the tricky wizards who were hiding inside only for one of them to betray the others and help you. This wizard introduced himself as Erdan,
Starting point is 00:03:32 a professor at the University of Wizardry in Gladehome. He informed you that there was a cabal of mages called the Grave Robbers, who were aiding at Galadrozel and his plot to bring war to the material plane. The grave robbers have hidden teleportation circles around Bohemia, through which glad will send creatures to ransack the cities, not controlled by the Allah. Erdan told you that he was brought into the grave at robbers late, and only had time to alert one person.
Starting point is 00:04:02 He could trust to try to get out a warning to the other cities. Later, Erdan privately confessed to moonshine that he knows her father, the headmaster at the university. When he and Mima first had their affair, Erdan encouraged Jolene to leave so that moonshine's father could stay in Gladehome. Trashy. A little trashy. Later, her leaving caused a rift between moonshine's parents, further complicating the current standoff between the high elves and the Crick elves. Trashy, but juicy. It's some drama.
Starting point is 00:04:34 It's pretty juicy, I'll be honest. Stop enjoying my drama. Meanwhile, hard one had a private moment and prayed to his father, promising to make up for his mistakes and make things right in response. He saw a lightning bolt in the otherwise white sky. Later, Erdan told you of a gathering during the next Blood Moon in Ember Heaven that all of the grave robbers would be attending
Starting point is 00:04:58 to receive their orders. You planned to attend into skies and look for an opportunity to confront glad, and that's where we are now. Quick question about Erdan. Yeah. What kind of like, are we getting like a hot professor vibe from him?
Starting point is 00:05:14 He's definitely a hot professor. Okay. I'm always hot. I mean, all elves are hot. They've got this kind of like ageless quality to them. He's probably not your type. He's more of the um um bookish type. He might be bepsi-boss like an intimidating woman. But I don't know. You're a crag me to twist. You like you like in a young woman and a big buff awful bodyguard.
Starting point is 00:05:48 No, I like older women. True, that's true. We were almost going to fight for Luna. Yeah, we're going to fight for Luna. This is Shay, that way. That really, what this adventure is all about. It's figuring exactly what each of our types is. Yeah, I would say that Erdan.
Starting point is 00:06:02 It's Harry women. Erdan is like the professor who has a problematic relationship with a young woman in like a CW show or something. Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. But he is definitely, I mean, moonshine, you know that he's friends with your father and Mimoss. You know he's at least like at least like 50 or 60 years old probably older.
Starting point is 00:06:26 But elves you know they lived to be hundreds of years old so it is what it is. So you guys are in this smugglers cave outside of Ember heaven. You've got the major ship here full of these dead wizard bodies as well as your own ship with your crew the bastards of none aboard. You guys have just slept through the night. You guys all converge on your boats and Erdan goes, we have a little while, but at the first signs of daylight, we were told to arrive quietly at the shore and then we were to be given an escort. So, all right, what's
Starting point is 00:07:06 the dress code for this party? To look exactly like the elves that you killed, otherwise, they'll just kill you on sight. Cool. Okay, strict. I am going to be this hot sorceress. Lai Belli, yes, not a bad idea. I start cutting off her hair. Oh, oh, I was gonna cast a spell, but yeah. She's good. Yeah, I would save the slots, you know. She's very dear. I'm very wise. I'm also cast a spell if that's okay.
Starting point is 00:07:33 If he thinks he needs it, I look at hard one in Beverly. Like he's a baby in it. I give you a bad thumbs up, but I mean it. I'm scalping a dead body. Might be a nice backup. Bound or sheaves over the side. Beverly is currently minor illusioning a pair of pins in his face too.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Hi. Uh, hey, do you wear glasses normally? Oh, just for reading, you know. Okay. I just thought I would help the disguise. Right. Yeah. You know I'm over 300 years old, right? What? Yeah, I just thought I would help the disguise right yeah, you know I'm over 300 years old, right? What yeah, I know
Starting point is 00:08:09 Okay, we're just so we're all clear I shake his hands Teachers bet I fiddle with the pinsness fiddle with the pints nest. How do you keep these little things? I don't even know where the air. They keep sliding down and too big. Normally you'd have like a prescription and a doctor would fit them to you but you're kind of just putting them on.
Starting point is 00:08:35 I made them too thick. Yes. I can't see through them. So if you'd like, if you'd like to put on some of these ropes, I can cast a spell and make us look as close as possible to the ropes that you killed. I had one thing I wanted to do before we left, is that okay? Of course. Can I look around? You know, there were skeletons on this. I'm assuming that there's some sort of like light weaponry on here. That the skeletons were going to be using. They were more here just to, we used them as workers just to sail the boat.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Is there no light weaponry on here? I'm sorry, we're wizard, so we don't have, what about the bastards of nuns ship? Oh, you mean like a big ol' weapon? They've got like a bullet star and like a- I don't need a fancy weapon, just a small weapon. Like a dagger to conceal. We're looking for Dagger Something that's easy for each of us to carry. Yeah, you guys go up to the bastards of none
Starting point is 00:09:33 It's like oh, yeah, I got a fucking extra dagger goes in like lifts up the bottom of her pant leg As like two daggers on Wow, those ones seem personal to you. I don't give a shit. All right, okay. It's 10 gold. All right, do you remember what I intimidatingly told you yesterday?
Starting point is 00:09:53 Yeah, you might want to check that. I'm gonna give you 10 gold, but you know what, it's going towards public works. Hey, you know what, I appreciate it. Okay. Erdan, will your spell allow us to conceal our normal weaponry or are we gonna need to Yes, just wear it on your person, okay, and it'll be fine. Gotcha. Okay, so what I would like to do is and this is just a little bit of Insurance and I'm putting this out there. No one has to wear this okay because obviously it's an invasion of your privacy in a way
Starting point is 00:10:21 I would like to I would like to turn these three daggers into scrying daggers and give them to a bouncer, hardworn and Beverly. So if anything happens, if we have to split up, I can... You can scry your guys. Clock, I can scry my guys. Sweet.
Starting point is 00:10:38 So you activate Rosaline for the first time ever. I love you, I love you. You activate Rosaline for the first time ever. Oh, you're good. You activate Rosaline for the first time ever. Yeah. And you do a little incantation. You hold the sword over these daggers. And after about, I would say, takes you about 10 minutes per dagger. But you have these sister daggers to your sword. Sister for my mister, sister, mister. Thank you can sister for my mr. sister mr.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Thank you. What a great name. I don't know what this is in reference to. Yeah, yeah, no, it's not good. Thank you so much. You pass out the daggers to Valnor a hard one and Beverly. This is you something you can opt into. I want you to know like this is I'm not trying to. I opt right in, I put the dagger in my back pocket, right down my ass crack. Hahaha. Okay, well, I'm actually having a hard time seeing with a thick amount of hair down there.
Starting point is 00:11:33 Hahaha. Thank you. Hahaha. I put mine like right down the front. Hahaha. Well, I'm loving I'm sure I can do this. Hahaha. Easy access. I've one more question for Erdan before we depart. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:49 Did you meet Tess by the way? Did you get a chance to meet her? Tess, so nice to meet you. Yeah, what's up, buddy? Gives him a side handshake and then brings him in. Oh, yes, this is fine. You got like a fucked up little skeleton cat. Yes, that's my familiar.
Starting point is 00:12:08 I brought it back from the dead. It's quite amazing. Yeah, it's fucked up. It's like a fucking skeleton. You guys look at him. He's got like a weird little fucking cat. He's a fucking cat lady. He's got a...
Starting point is 00:12:18 They're calling him cat lady. Easy, everyone go easy. Okay, Razz is aside. I just thought it'd be nice for y'all to meet because testing her crew are trying to sail as far west as they can, but they're having some trouble with the monsters. And I was wondering if you could maybe
Starting point is 00:12:33 help them when we get back to set up some like protective runes or something like they have around their town. You seem like someone who might be capable of that with your great wisdom. You see, he nods and he goes, yeah, I could throw a couple of runes up, I suppose. You see, test punches him, yeah, you fucking will, cat lady.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Start shaking him my mouth. Yeah, wow. If he didn't, if he wasn't willing to do this, I would sympathize with him. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. Oh yeah, I just wanted to like make sure we took care of that before with him. Yeah. Yeah. Cool.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Yeah, I just wanted to like make sure we took care of that before we go. Any of these, there's like healing potions on any of these boats. I will say the wizards definitely have fucking healing potions. They definitely brought along some stuff. I will.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Oh, like a real funky necromanctic healing potion. Go ahead and roll a pure luck check, D20, and I will tell you, no matter what, you'll get a health potion or two. 12. 12, okay, middleing. So. A little better than middleing, middle of credit.
Starting point is 00:13:38 I will say that there were five of them, so there are five greater healing potions. 12. 12. On there, and then I'll say that the one the Lai Bella the main lady brought a superior healing potion for herself so you got five greater healings and one superior yeah why don't we I mean I got heals yeah I'm happy to hang on to like a regular one in the greater. Yeah, you take the superior one because I think it can help you guys if or myself.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Yeah, in your current state, you're a little death proof, which might be nice. Yeah, so I'll be able to help you guys. Great. Yeah, why don't, yeah, hang on to a mall. Shall I give a mall? We should go in one hour. Okay, yeah, yeah, just in case you run out of, yeah, why not, yeah, hang on to them all. Oh, give them all. We should go in our first. Okay, yeah, we'll each get one. Yeah, balance is a good one. Balance should have one.
Starting point is 00:14:28 We should have more than one, too, I think. Okay. So maybe one for me, one for Bev, two for Balnor, rest for you. Okay, great. Balnor has two greater healing potions. One of you guys take the superior one, so that unless you guys want Balnor to have the superior one.
Starting point is 00:14:43 I think a hard one thing. Okay, I'll remember So I have a greater and a superior. Yes And the rest of you guys have a greater I have one question. Yes So the way that these scribing swords work, it's more something that I can I can like spy on them You don't even need a cast to spell you essentially now just have walkie talkies with those guys But are they walkie talkies like should I also have, should I also make one for myself?
Starting point is 00:15:08 No, Rosalene does it. Oh, yeah. So she can communicate with us too. You guys, she can't communicate with you guys, but you guys could like send her a message. Okay. So if like one of you guys went ahead and just like set out like I'm in the room
Starting point is 00:15:26 Nobody's here moonshine would hear it because she can scry it on you. Can you test them out? I hold it up to my ear Okay, I Have Rosalina up to my ear you see a vision of Like a mom like a mom making dinner talking to someone on the Sharp object your ears already factored Here's the other ear. Yeah, you see Beverly cut himself out. Yeah, I think it works. Yeah, that seems very Beverly. And Boundord goes, I don't want to be, you know, a Debbie Downer here,
Starting point is 00:15:56 but should we leave hard ones coffin here? Just in case everything goes to shit and one of us can maybe live. Is this the most strategic place to leave it? That will be the question. How close are we to, let's say, the castle? You're a mile away from the city. Harwan, how fast can you run a mile? Well, he would be a missed.
Starting point is 00:16:16 How fast can I run my mile? Once he, once he room materializes. I instantly. Instantly. Wow, I think it's near instant. Zero point zero. Zero point zero. Right, yeah. I think it's near instant zero point zero zero. Great. Yeah, I think this will be fine then sweet. Um, so you see test test goes we'll hang out here for a couple days If you don't come back, uh, you know, I think if hard one comes back and we don't that's the signal right on yeah
Starting point is 00:16:40 All right cool. Yeah. All right. Shall we go to the masquerade? Let's do it. Sweet. So Just pop I have a mask He's in a my cloak. Oh sure. Yeah, they were wearing cloaks, right? Yes. Yeah, he's in my wizard roses So you guys go around the Elven boat the one that had all the mages on it and you Strip the corpses you take their robes, you put them on, Erden gathers you guys around, and he casts this spell called Seeming, which alters
Starting point is 00:17:12 your appearance. It can't totally change your size, but it changes it a bit. So Boundor and Bev look like the shortest possible believable elf. I'm so tall! Like a 4'5 elf. This is crazy! But we are just towering over everyone. We are colossi! Just full on in hard one stomach. Like not even, dude, are we the same size right now?
Starting point is 00:17:39 We're not even close. I'm so good. Ty, what happened? What is you? I grabbed her and what did you do to me? Yeah, he has made you a little bit shorter. You guys are pretty close now. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, just for fun a bit? Oh, how about T-flin'? Ah, no. All right.
Starting point is 00:18:08 We're deep. You know what, you've missed 100% of the shots, you don't take. No dumb questions. Hey, feels like we missed 100% of the shots we also took. Well, that would be a- That would be a-
Starting point is 00:18:19 That would be a conversation. We are the team of grave robbers from Gladehomes, so we all need to be high else. Cool, watch me dunk. I try and dunk. Wait a second. Did you turn me into a look for the gap in my teeth? You have no gap.
Starting point is 00:18:32 I'm hideous. Don't look at me hard one. No, no, no, you look great. I'm like try to prime my teeth apart. Is it pop? Poppa is a little skeleton poppa. Me? Me? Me? Okay, that's a Flaz-Hell.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Yeah, well, it's not gonna lie. Pop-pop, pop-pop looks good. We have kind of a cool necromancer thing going on, right? Yeah. How does my pierced ear look? Yeah. It looks infected, but in like a necromancy way. Oh, it's like a gay-age black smoke coming out of it.
Starting point is 00:19:05 Yes. That will kill you in the end. I have a smoke ring earring. Yeah, that's so good. I think I'm like, cool, cool, yeah, this is cool. I'm fine with this. And then I grab some dirt and just put on some freckles, some makeup freckles.
Starting point is 00:19:21 It's like a smoky freckle. Yeah. I'm ready. Yeah,. I didn't change it. I'm good. So shall we take a dinghy? Yeah. Absolutely. Sweet. So you guys lower a smaller boat, a little dinghy from your big boat. You guys all get in and you take your boat out on to the quiet sea. You see that the blood moon has begun to rise, but with the ever-present black fog of Shadowfell, it barely breaks the clouds. Even so, the dark sea is lit up by streaks of red as you row towards Emberheaven.
Starting point is 00:20:01 As you approach the city, you can see it more clearly. The peak is hidden amongst the black clouds, buildings with gothic architecture line, the side of the mountain, as ghosts and ghouls wander the roads. Some monsters from the main road are crossing the giant bone bridge into the city, while a huge mass is gathering outside in front near the road. So you guys park your boat near a small cave on the rocky shore at the base of the mountain and you see a ghostly night, like in Corporeo, but he's got like a floating suit
Starting point is 00:20:38 of black armor or just like a breastplate really in a helm, comes up to greet you. And he goes, this way, and no wizard funny business, you're being watched. There is nothing funny about death. I think in that we can agree, my good sir. You hear her, Dan, in your head go, that was so good, you're such a good necromancer.
Starting point is 00:21:03 I got praise from teacher. You're such a good necromancer. Oh, I got praise from teacher. And you guys see this ghostly night takes you guys into the mountain. So you enter a cave and are immediately hit by a wave of heat and the sounds of clanging metal. The inside of the mountain has essentially been turned into this giant
Starting point is 00:21:26 war forge straight out of Lord of the Rings. Big, hulking beasts hammer crude weapons as smaller goblin-like monsters work the forge, blowing huge waves of fire. You see carts full of these terrifying crooked weapons being filled up and carted out. And you see this shadowy night, this shadow guard leads you to a crude elevator. It looks like something you'd see from like a window washer or something, just a wooden platform attached to a series of pulleys that goes straight up. Can we say that while we're on the dinghy, I cast aid on everyone? Sure.
Starting point is 00:22:09 So everyone's got five extra hit points. So you see the shadow guard nods to an undead giant who begins turning a crank that begins pulling you up and you're lifted up, up through the mountain at the various levels of the cave. You see more and more of these monsters mining and blacksmithing. The heat is very intense until finally the cavern narrows and you reach the top. You get out onto a platform and are met by two more shadow guard who take you through a doorway and you have entered Emberheaven Castle, the Great Hall. And as I described to you before,
Starting point is 00:22:47 when you were scrying on Galad, it is truly a dark reflection of Glateron Castle. You see rows of long banquet tables where other grave robbers are sitting. These wizards and purple robes and black masks. The mages are all divided up by the cities that they represent. So you see a table of dwarves, frost dwarves, one of halflings, and then you see there are
Starting point is 00:23:11 braziers lighting the room between tall columns as well as several windows letting in red light. And at the back of the room is this wall of glass, a giant window, and in front of it, on a platform, on this throne of bones, is Gladroso. The shadow guards from the door escort you to the glade home table near Iron Deep and Hill home. So you guys are the only elf representatives here because you wiped out all of the other ones. So you guys go over and you take your spots at the table, down the table or some dwarves, and at the table next to you are halflings. Erdan just goes, if everyone be cool, everyone be cool, everyone be cool. Are there any bugs on the floor? I want to
Starting point is 00:23:58 find like a nasty centipede and just like bite the head off and be like, yeah bugs are my thing. Cool, go ahead and do a nature check to find a bug. 19. 19, you find a bug, you find a big juicy cockroach on the ground, because you find one for me. With the 19, yeah, she finds two, just like that. I've had you a cockroach, I kinda like look around, I'll shift the ad, look at Necromancer
Starting point is 00:24:23 and like take a bite out of the bug And then like bring it back to life sweet I fully swallowed my bug because I do have the enemy dead So I'll just like just to like get the vibe going that like I'm legit. Yeah, as you guys Because bite to these bugs you see one dwarf the everybody's wearing masks and purple robes, so like kind of nobody can identify to each other. You see one dwarf looks at you guys approvingly and one half looks at you very scared. I didn't know it was that kind of party. I breathe flies out of my mouth with my nerve illusion. You know we don't necessarily eat bugs, right?
Starting point is 00:25:06 I see her now also eats a bug. I'm making the headless cockroach like dance, like, but controlling him like he's like a puppet. Oh, usually people think I'm weird because I eat bugs, but now we're kind of rolling deep, which is the bug crew. So this is good. Yeah, the bug out boys.
Starting point is 00:25:23 I'm sick and twisted. Do I? I don't recognize any of the hill home halflings. Do I? I feel like masks, but I. Yeah, they are wearing masks. Go ahead and make our perception check. Martha Togold, Nana Kindleeth.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Kindleeth would absolutely be in this organization. That's going to be perception, you said? Yeah, that's only a 14. 14, you kind of can't tell. Is there tales who these people are? Can I do an insight check as to whether or not there's any where there's originals in the room? Sure, yeah. There's a lot of bugs and we're there's. We're there's like the scarabs of the pan world. 17, there confirmed no where there's. Okay, Nanna kindly is good. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Miss. So you guys are sitting at this long table everybody's very business like there's no drinks being served or anything Everybody's very serious. It's the world's worst fucking masquerade ball. It's everybody's wearing masks Just so they're not recognized. It's not like a cool sexy party This episode of NAD podOT has brought to you by Bird Dogs. They're a company that makes pants and shorts, so no matter where you fall and the age old battle between the two, you can rest assured that Bird Dogs has you covered. Now we all know when the legwear war begins and we're forced to choose a side, it's gonna be difficult.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Luckily Bird Dogs has made the decision of which pants and shorts to buy a little easier. Bird Dogs stretchy khakis are designed to fit slimmer through the thigh and leg to give you a truly sculpted look. And instead of making their clothes out of restricting cotton, Bird Dogs invented a cloud-knit fabric that looks just like khaki, but stretches so you get a way slimmer fit without having to sacrifice movement. And trust me, you are going to need all the movement you can get when you and your brothers and legs are out there on the battlefield kicking the shit out of your rivals.

So you guys see, Galad sitting atop his throne of bones suddenly stands up and he holds
Starting point is 00:27:51 his hands up and he goes, greetings, fellow followers of the light, your kingdoms resist the goddess and thus you brave people have stood against your kings and queens and will help usher in a time of peace when Bohemia is all ruled under one empire let's all give ourselves a round of applause. Moonshan you're gonna have to hold me back. I'm trying to. I'm about to start. I sit on one.
Starting point is 00:28:23 I sit on one. Everyone wants to go down. Everyone one, give a little applause, let's play it along. Every clap is pain. I'm sitting on hardworn and making his hands clap. They are too firmly cled fist. I just did, I just sounded too fist. I'm glad goes on and he goes, we have set up our hidden entry points across
Starting point is 00:28:49 Bahumia and we are ready to open the gate here my arch wizard will take care of that you see glad gestures to a bald wizard on the other side of the room with pale white skin and black stripes painted across his face. And Galad goes on, since we are only using one gate to get us to multiple locations, that's where the rest of you will come in. As my armies pass through, it is your job to direct them to your individual teleportation circles Dwarves to iron deep and frost wind halflings to hill home and elves to glee home And you see glad look so over at your guys table for a long beat
Starting point is 00:29:36 I'm gonna have him do a little roll against her then I cast infestation and bugs come out from underneath our masks You you see he rolls a natural four, he looks and he goes, you glade home elves are nasty, shout out, shout out to the glade home elves, and a couple of dwarves brought their own beer and start knocking the table. And he continues, but with all that said, we've already run into some complications. Apparently, some of the cities have been tipped off and are gathering their defenses. And you guys see Erdan next to you shifts uncomfortably. And you guys hear in your head, shifts kind of uncomfortably. And you guys hear in your head,
Starting point is 00:30:25 that's might be my fault. And Galad goes, we must strike now. Or we might not get another chance. Glad nods to his arch wizard. You see the arch wizard teleports out of there. Glad holds his hands up again and goes, wizards to the gate. go now for the light.
Starting point is 00:30:49 If you guys see the other tables of wizards all begin teleporting and you see really quickly, Erdan reaches his hands around you guys and casts invisible on all of you. And you guys disappear at the same time as all of these guys disappear and leave the room. Nice move. The only people left in the room are glad,
Starting point is 00:31:13 honest throne, and two shadow guard standing near the doorway. Okay, so I have a little spell I wanna do on the gate, which is I have a spell called Maustrum, so I could basically create a churning whirlpool that would make it less enticing for the monsters to try to pass through to Bohumia. Erdan thinks about it for a second and he goes, it's certainly could hold them back for a little bit,
Starting point is 00:31:40 but there's something like 30 mages down there, including Glad's Arch Wizard. I think it's- So I'll probably just get counter spelled. I think that's likely. Alright, I want to minimize how frequently I get counter spelled, so I will table that idea, and I guess we'll just have to trust that Bohumia can handle a couple monsters.
Starting point is 00:31:59 Let's hope that your messenger warned people enough to defend their realm. And then whenever y'all are ready to attack Glad, I have something to start him off with. A little appetizer? A little appetizer that we can throw to him while we're invisible, right? I'm ready. Let's fucking get this guy.
Starting point is 00:32:17 All right, you guys see Erdan goes, he looks at the two shadow guards and he goes, I can occupy those two while you go after the big daddy, as it were. All right. Speaking our language. I would like to cast a contagion, and I would like to give him filth fever.
Starting point is 00:32:37 A raging fever sweeps through the creature's body. The creature has disadvantage on strength checks, strength saving throws, and attack rolls that you strength. Jesus fucking Christ. Wow. We're kind of saving throws you do. I do have to touch him though. Okay. Um, um, he does a constitution saving throw. Okay. Um, so moonshine you go sneak up. I'll say yes. So I guess all symbiotic entity, then touch him with contagion. Okay. Doc, you touch him with contagion.
Starting point is 00:33:10 He's going to go ahead and make a constitution saving throw. He has to be 17. Does not pass, but he's gonna use his legendary resistance to resist one of his of the day. So, moonshine, you reach out and you touch him. You appear this fungal form, glad, pulls back. Huh, where'd you come from? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha You see these two shadow guard go to attack moonshine. He starts shooting like beams of light at them. They go off.
Starting point is 00:33:48 I'm not even gonna roll back and forth for those guys. You guys are just fighting Galad. Erdan is off fighting these two shadow knights. A hard one. Tell me what you do. I come out of invisibility and I say, Galad Rosel, I believe you offered to suck my dick. And I swing my axon.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Sweet, you've been spending a lot of time indoors, hard pun. You look paler than I do. Yeah, that's true. 2018. It makes a super heads. God, this realm has done nothing for your deviated sander. I'm the king of this realm, and I'm wrecking all of your home world How did you get here 18 damage?

I'm gonna tell the Aula Don't even forward to hit on the second it's super hits 12 damage nice Guess what you son of a bitch. I got three attacks now. I'm just winged my axe. I thought three attacks for a long time 12 damage. Nice. Guess what, you son of a bitch. I get three attacks now. I'm just swinging my axe at that.
Starting point is 00:34:48 I like that three attacks for a long time. 20, not not though. That hits. Great. 17 damage. Sweet. Yeah. Damn, you run up real quick.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Three lightning fast axe attacks. He tries to get his big cursed sword full of souls. You see all of these moving faces inside of it. What the fuck is that? You don't see any familiar ones in there. Don't look too closely. Holds the waves of the sword in front of your face. Oh shit, I forgot that.
Starting point is 00:35:21 We were gonna tell Harvard, Harvard want your mobs in there, get mad. I rather moods you tell me Thank you videos face in the sword. I'm gonna action search me string. Can I action search and hit over it? Fuck you you fuck my mother's in your sword Hmm 15 does not hit blocks it with sword, your little frazzle. A little fucking, yeah. I'm a little emotional.
Starting point is 00:35:47 Rightfully so. 27 that time though. That hits. 13 damage. Sweets. And my third or my sixth and final attack. 21. Super hits.
Starting point is 00:36:04 10 damage. Sweet, they have to go ahead and take your sprazer round. Cool. I look at hard one and say like, let's see how haste works when you're not trying to swim. And I cast it again on hard one, but this time. Hastey hard one. Haste one. This time instead of coach Bortram, a spectral old cob appears.
Starting point is 00:36:24 Oh, beautiful. I believe in you, bud. Let's keep it light. Can I put it in your hands, Jacob? Yeah. Hey, let's kill this some bitch again. What do you say? I love you, Cal.
Starting point is 00:36:35 You're my best friend. You're my best friend, bud. And after I do that, I want to turn to Galadro Zell, wink at him, and cast Val of Inmidi, which is a channel divinity that lets me get advantage on attack rolls against him. Talked you out, everyone. Right, a bitch. Sweet.
Starting point is 00:36:53 Everybody roll initiative. Now we're in the regular round. 13, four. 19. Okay, so on initiative 20, our man Galad gets a layer action. You see he takes his sword and he goes, if you thought Rosalene was cool, wait until you meet Saul Swallower. And he stabs his sword down into the ground into the stone. And you see four shadow demons emerge from the floor, and each one is going to attack one of you guys.
Starting point is 00:37:36 The first one is going to hit Beverly for... No! ...uses a claw attack. Yeah, you see like one of the screaming faces comes to life, comes out of the sword, comes out and takes a swipe at you with some claws, Bev, for nine damage. Okay. Next one attacks hard one.
Starting point is 00:37:57 That is only a 16 hit. Misses, takes a slash with claws, doesn't do it. Moonshine, crit's on you, I'm sorry, Moonshine. So, all right. 16 damage as it slashes into you. Next one to go after Balnor. That is a 24 to hit, that's gonna hit. Does a big nine damage to Balnor.
Starting point is 00:38:20 That is Moonshine's turn. I wanna cast Heat Metal on Glad Sword. Sweet. Hell yeah, drop my mother, you piece of shit. I'm gonna cast Heat Metal for my mom. Constituce your same throw. He got a nat 20. So he resists it, you see his hand sizzles.
Starting point is 00:38:41 I love it. I love the heat and I'm gonna stay in the kitchen if you don't mind. He still takes damage though. Sweet, so he takes a little bit of heat damage. Go ahead and roll that. Nine fire damage. Nine fire damage, okay. And then I spores him and I'm in fungal mode, so I spores him for fucking 18. Oh, and pop off fucking comes out. Hey, remember this is a of it? What is this little rat doing? He's so big now. He is hitting you for. You're about to get slapped with a lawsuit. He had a glow up.
Starting point is 00:39:13 Raaam. He's hitting you for 19. That hits. Yeah. That's cool. Oh, Papa's been hitting a lot. You just got served. He has advanced because of pack tactics.
Starting point is 00:39:24 Right. He's about to habeas your cor served. He has advanced because of pack tactics. Right. He's about to habeas your corpus. He decks you for nine. Jeez. Snarl him, little beast. You guys see, yeah, this form of glad is harder than his old form. But already, he is looking a little sweaty and just like,
Starting point is 00:39:41 I don't like this one bit. But that is his turn. He is going to attack hard one. You see he rushes forward and he goes, you're undead, you serve me. I am the dark lord of Shadowfell. 21 to hit. That does not hit.
Starting point is 00:40:06 Thank you, Haste. Takes a second. It's not as good as you thought you were. You son of a, as you say that, he slashes up and gets a 27 to hit. Right. Cuts right into you. He does 21 damage.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Okay. You see as he slashes into you with this sword, hard one, as an undead of Shadowfell, you feel a calling and he goes, I can't believe you came here as an undead. You serve me. Join your mother. You guys see from the outside hard one disappears into the sword as it flares. And then he's going to rush forward and take an attack on, let's say, Ballnor. I'm gonna kill your dad. No! And he hits on Ballnor. 19 damage on Ballnor. Stay strong, Valnor. I'm trying, but this guy's a punk. Where did hard one go?
Starting point is 00:41:09 It's a goof. It's obviously a fate. This is part of his plan. Bev, that's your turn. Okay, can I do an insight, or like an arcana check to see if I like know what's happening with this sort of the curse or something? It's like being a dwarf going up and fighting Mordid
Starting point is 00:41:27 and he just has like something that can kind of control the undead to a certain extent. So I just get a sense that I could not undo this curse or undo this calling. It would be if you like had the sword, maybe. Alright. Okay. But it also might make you evil or might make you. You hear yeah you hear a pentagosco from inside the gym. Yeah it's kind of a dork lord thing. If you wanted to be like the dork lord of Shadowfill you could probably free him if you wanted. I want my friend to not be in a sword. If you want to if you want to live in Shadowfill forever with me dude. Me and you can hang out.
Starting point is 00:42:05 Hard pass, my friend. That's the word. I am going to run up and try and get a slashing and then maybe use a move to try and grapple the sword out of it with the sand. That would be an action. You got to do grapple against him. OK.
Starting point is 00:42:17 It looks like the only way we're getting that sword out of his hands is if his hand is dead. You get what I'm saying. I'm going to attack him. I'm going to see if he still has the light within him or if he's lying, I'm going to do a divine smite. Sweet. I'm gonna reroll that one.
Starting point is 00:42:34 Oh god. Not weighted dice. 16. 16 does not hit. All right, let me take my second attack. Sweet. There we go. 28. Hits. All right, cool. Bev, attack sweet There we go 28 hits all right cool. I'm bev he is evil
Starting point is 00:42:48 Yes, I'm not evil. What is this? I'm not detecting any lights coming from no just normal amount of smite damage it seems Glad you're a black light what and I see a lot of stains All right, I'm gonna to do a third level, Smite. 49 damage. Jesus. Bev, you destroyed this guy. Just this explosion of holy light as you slashed into him.
Starting point is 00:43:22 You're channeling the goddess, young Beverly. Congratulations. The goddess has nothing to do with that. Impossible. The light takes many forms. You would know that. I'm gonna kill your dad. He's gonna take it. Okay, that was uncalled for. Legendary action and take a slash at Balnor. When he does hits, and he does 19 damage to Balnor. Balnor's starting to look a little rough. That is actually Balnor's turn. Oh, fuck. I forgot to roll advantage on my attack roll. Cool.
Starting point is 00:44:00 dope. That is Balnor's turn. Balnor is going to attack twice. Actually hits on the first attack. Six damage does a one on his damage. So it does not do much damage, but he's fighting toe-to-toe with glad, very brave. Hits on the second attack.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Does 14 damage. Good for you, Balnor can use his action surge, takes another attack hits, does another nine damage, takes a fourth attack, misses, that's a natural six, then he's gonna look at Beverly's Amulet and get some of his health back. He had a glance that he'd be in great. At the end of his turn though, Galad is going to take another shot at him, and misses, he rolls in that one. Then that is hard one's turn.
Starting point is 00:44:58 I have a sword. Hard one. One day you're a boop, the next day you're a sword. Does that break, does that break haste? No, okay, go, no. Nice. So hard one. You see that you are in a Demi Plainar Prison,
Starting point is 00:45:17 which looks an awful lot like lower Galatoron. You are the only thing that has color here. Everything else is gray. There is a small cluster of houses down near the docks and it's raining. And in one of the houses, you hear people yelling at each other, but there's this kind of strange echo to it. You hear a woman go, we need to go Elias and you hear a man go, I will not run from a fight. You go up to the window and you see your mother and father but they aren't humans. They're these white spectral projections. You're not watching something that's happening
Starting point is 00:46:06 right now. It feels like you're watching a memory. You also see a little crib and a projection of your uncle red near it. And you see the little spectral version of red goes, look Elias, I know, I know you wanna be a tough guy, but Lydia's right, we gotta get outta here, man. Gunther can only hold them off for so long, we'll be lucky if he survives. There's no place for cowards and cords, great hall! You see your father, Elias Stormborn,
Starting point is 00:46:42 looks a lot like you, but has this like um you can't really see the color of his beard because it's all like white but you do see like some tones of gray and black and you see that it's like a dark beard and dark hair and you see Lydia your mother goes Elias we have a son. Don't you think I want to stay in fight? I'm a warrior too, but we gave up glory when we became parents. And Elias goes, all the more reason for me to set an example for him.
Starting point is 00:47:14 Warriors die on the battlefield and go to Isgard. Cowards grow old. You see, Lydia grabs him desperately. When we met, you showed me how to live for the moment free from the constraints of religion. You freed me from the chosen and here you are living for the afterlife. Come with us. Please. You see Elias takes her into his arms and he goes, or you could stay, and you
Starting point is 00:47:50 and I, we could send a few dozen of these bastards to hell, then later we'll drink to it in court's hall. You see, Lydia pushes him back and goes, if you would choose glory over your own family, then I'm glad your son will never get to know you. You see she walks over, grabs the baby out of the crib, and exits through a trap door in the floor. And you see your uncle Red looks up at Elias and Red shakes his head and goes Elias with that one man. And Elias just kind of turns away from him and red leaves and follows after
Starting point is 00:48:36 Lydia. And you see Elias stands there for a moment by himself. Gets like a little teary Walls up. Walls up Outside you see the chosen begin to gather And kick in the door as he lets out a war cry Watch this and then the memory resets and Everything starts playing again from the beginning. Ah. Go with her, you fool.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Suddenly, you hear a booming voice go, you didn't have to stay. Glad killed me later, you know that. If it was both of us, we could have won. Hard one, you see the widow hovering. She looks like the widow you saw in Galatoron, not like the spectral projections. It seems like she's actually here with you. She wears dark armor with a hood that's covering the top half of her face. Her skin is pale, but there are chains wrapped around her body.
Starting point is 00:49:46 And hovering around her are white specters, different versions of herself. And when she speaks, they all talk in tandem. There is a strange magical energy around her. Like there's these tiny lightning bolts that keep crackling as she hovers near you. And it is very clear that you know from when you ran into her in Galatoron that when she was a revenant sent to kill Galad that she was like she had this unnatural bloodlust towards Galad. So she has been brought back to life in these different ways that it has driven her completely mad. Like you literally see all of these spectral split personalities of her. You see she locks eyes with you and
Starting point is 00:50:34 instantly you know she thinks you're your father. She thinks you're a live storm born senior and she gets ramped up and she goes, and then after I die, I spend years wandering the astral plane. Your God offers me a deal to kill Galad Rosel. Galad ends up dead in no small part because of my actions, but that's not good enough for your stupid mead head god, is it? Because I didn't swing the blade you drink and you fight and you laugh while the people around you suffer but no longer you will wear my chains and you see she whips a chain out at you and makes an attack roll against you. God damn it.
Starting point is 00:51:21 Oh god damn it. At least you got haste. Ha ha ha. Okay, that is a 21 hit on the first attack. If I still got haste, that doesn't do. Still have haste. Alright, yeah. A hard one. You're just like holding your hands up back and up.
Starting point is 00:51:35 Your mother whips this chain at you. You see, you hear like whispers of, we can't leave him, we can't leave our son. Like just all of these different versions of her kill glad Roselle Just this woman who's been brought back over and over and over and over again Who spent 30 years traveling the astral plane just broken She takes a second chain attack against you
Starting point is 00:52:00 That one is only a 20 to hit So you dodge again, his next chain. And you 21 to hit. That doesn't hit. Doesn't hit. Miss the last chain. Hard one, that is your turn. Okay, I throw down my axe.
Starting point is 00:52:17 I'm not going to raise my hands. Lydia. Lydia, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I should have hands, Lydia. Lydia, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I should have gone with you. I should have left. I should have never stayed and tried to fight. Go ahead and give me a persuasion check. 17.
Starting point is 00:52:44 17. 17. She starts to reach her hand out to you and then pulls it back as like one of her, you see like one of the spirits goes, that's not a lie, is he looks different? He looks different, he looks different. Who are you, who are you, who are you? And the main one goes, it's too late for that.
Starting point is 00:53:04 It's too late for that! It's all ruined! Uh, and we move down the initiative. Let's do it. All right, layer action. Um, you guys see the demons that had arrived around Glad Dispers. Um, and you see Glad again, takes a sword, sticks it into the ground, and you see four beams of black energy of this shadow with like screaming faces inside of it appear on every corner of the room.
Starting point is 00:53:39 You don't know what it does yet, but that is what he does with his turn or with his lair action rather. That is Mochens turn. I am going to, I think it's foolish to keep pursuing magical efforts, but I'm going to, I get to ask a bonus action, make him take damage again from the heat metal and he has to do the same throw again. Sweet. Nice. He got a 19. That saves you. Okay. Okay, so he will take nine damage and then I'm gonna fuck the lightning bolt him. Shit, what is he got to roll for lightning bolt?
Starting point is 00:54:13 Dexterity save. Dexterity save. You are your own element, okay guys? He does not pass the dexterity. Yeah! Okay, and I'm doing a level five, so that is... She is a rightful hole. 39! And I'm doing a little five so that is 39 That I suppose and for 18 and a pop-up is gonna go at him. Oh my god
Starting point is 00:54:34 pop-up is gonna hit and Papa hits in for 11 Jesus I want to hear pop-up finishes Pop-up bites into him. Okay, he's going to take a legendary action and take an attack on Balnor again. He actually misses Balnor that time. That is a miss. He could Balnor use the grease, but that is his turn. Release the grease.
Starting point is 00:55:04 He is going to use an ability called fearful shadows. You guys see from these four corners of the room, these black pillars that have come up, suddenly faces come out of them and begin letting out these otherworldly screeches. Everybody go ahead and give me a, ooh, dexterity saving throw. Oh!
Starting point is 00:55:27 Ooh! Ooh! 21! 21, okay. I got a natural 20. Good for you. I got a roll for Papa too. My son!
Starting point is 00:55:39 Papa got a 17. Papa fails. Ah! Papa takes 35 damage yikes This a necrotic head it comes out from one of the pillars and bites pa pa get away from my son Also, but they bite you too, but they only Nickia so you guys take half of that so you guys take 17 Even with an actual 20? Yep, okay. Oh my gosh, excuse me.
Starting point is 00:56:07 Uh-huh. Quick question. If I take damage, does that break my concentration? It does, you need a role for concentration. Oh, okay. I might have had to do that before, but we missed it. I don't think you've taken any damage yet. No, it took damage from that demon.
Starting point is 00:56:19 Didn't I? It took nine damage. Okay, you did have to roll, but it's just roll now. Okay, cool. What do you have to roll to not lose concentration? Half the damage that you took. I failed, he meddles off. Okay, he meddles away.
Starting point is 00:56:31 That's a eight. You fail your con say. So you're no longer concentrating. Hard one no longer has haste. I'm sorry, I'm gonna get hit by my mom. Uh huh. You guys see at the end of his turn, glad holds up a sword and points to the windows on the walls on either side of you and he goes, I don't know why you're trying to kill me, it's
Starting point is 00:57:00 already too late. And you see black smoke comes out of a sword and fills the windows. And on the smoke, you see projections of some of the different cities in Bohemia. You see Glade Home, Iron Deep, Frost Wind, and Hill Home. And you see monsters begin appearing in mass, in hidden passages, sewers, aqueducts, forests, immediately outside the cities. It's a trick, babe. Don't fall for it.
Starting point is 00:57:36 This is how you use your light for trickery. It's not trickery. It's to take it back, you all resisted. You see Hillhome, this little hobbit village, not unlike the Shire, rolling pastures, cute little farms and halfling holes, and an army of monsters begin charging into it. But unlike the Halflings, the dwarves appear to be ready for the fight. You see that as monsters enter the city, both Frostwind and Iron Deep. Dwarven guards and soldiers are there to meet them. There is a lot of bloodshed right off the bat,
Starting point is 00:58:10 but Frostwind is doing a lot better than Iron Deep. Frostwind has a bigger army, and it's harder to sneak around there. You see these giant Iron Dwarves, crushing small goblins, swarms of well-trained winter wolves, shooting down giants with crossbows. The iron deep dwarves are also putting up a good fight, but they're inside a mountain, so there's so many more areas to sneak in and burst through. You'll see a bunch of soldiers overwhelm some monsters when suddenly like an umber Hulk bursts through a wall
Starting point is 00:58:40 behind them and begins tearing them apart. Bev, that is your turn. It's never as easy as you think, is it? It's trickery, I don't fucking buy. You're fucking, these are projections. These are little movies, homemade movies you made. Oh, they're movies. It's time to documentaries.
Starting point is 00:58:56 I love watching nonfiction. Yeah, I bet you love fucking burns. I do. I actually kinda do too. All right, we should watch you get burned. Yeah, we should watch you get burned. We should watch you get burned. Yeah, while we while I do actually kind of do too. All right We should watch you can burn again burns movie together. Yeah, why don't we look at poison your popcorn It's all just slow pans Archival footage is boring I scream as I attack sweet. Yeah, I think I'm gonna bail on trying to Do anything to him other than hit him?
Starting point is 00:59:22 He seems to be responding to being hitin' as you attack him. He is going to use a reaction to do shadow slip. He makes you roll with disadvantage. Okay, so just. Who is this motherfucker? How did you get stronger than us? So that just cancels out my advantage.
Starting point is 00:59:40 Why do you have advantage? Because of valve enmity. Oh, sweet. Yeah, okay. So you just have a regular old roll all right 18 18 does it yeah So I see like so embarrassing my see it higher than yours you fool Yeah, I got this cool summer what that armor is just made of aluminum you can't get hired in 18 AC

Another 18. That hits. All right. I'll just do a normal attack this time. Well, you know what? Why the fuck would I stop? I'll do another divine smile. Okay, cool. Uh, 33. Jesus.
Starting point is 01:00:31 Glad's looking pretty fucked up. Yeah. Why? I'll call off the fight if you guys stop and just let me be the dark load of shadow fell. This fight doesn't stop until you suck my friend's dick. Yeah. I'm not talking anybody's dick
Starting point is 01:00:45 I was gonna buy you stick off if you bring hard one out here and then suck his dick then absolutely no You're the one who was begging to do it last time at the end of bow at the end of a bev's turn I was gonna take a legendary action to attack Balnor. I'm gonna hit some He's gonna do 21 damage to Balnor. Balnor, remember, check, check if you need. Yeah, how's Balnor looking? I know he looked in the amulet, but Balnor is looking okay. He's been getting attacked, he's in a mount, but he's doing all right.
Starting point is 01:01:14 That is actually Balnor's turn. He'll take two attacks, and he does 13 damage. Wow, true denizen of the light. Attacking our small dad. Ha ha ha. Yeah, hidden people who smaller than you. That is. Denison of the light attacking our small dad. Yeah, hidden people who smaller than you. That is. What's that about back to hard one hard one. You are in this demi plane. You see your mother with all of these spectral versions around her. So she goes at the beginning of your turn.
Starting point is 01:01:42 So she will actually go first. So she takes a three chain attacks against you. First one is gonna hit. One of the chains wraps around you for 13 damage and you are grappled. This chain wraps around you. Finally, you know what it feels like you selfish bastard. You abandoned me. Takes a second attack. Misses, other chain comes at your head, you duck down, you're still wrapped around. Takes a third attack and does hit.
Starting point is 01:02:24 She does 13 damage on the third attack. That's your turn, hard one. Cool. I'm still holding the chain, right? It's wrapped around you. Yeah. Double Dutch. Yeah, I'm going to grab onto the chain. Okay. All right, new plan. It's me, Elias Jr. I'm your boy. I'm sorry I pretended to be my dad. You were just, it seemed like you were in a lot of pain and I don't want to torture you anymore. But Fuck it. Let's see what we can do. I'm gonna swing my axe at the chain that I'm holding on to. Nice. Go ahead and make an attack roll on the chain. Does it 25 beat the chain's AC?
Starting point is 01:03:12 25 does beat the chain's AC. What is the chain's AC? The people need to know. It's 20? Yeah, what I tell you. Wow, the chain has better AC than galad. But also Moussa. It's exactly like that. Everyone chill. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:28 15. 15 damage. Okay. Hard one. You see you mostly sever this one, Jane. You attack it and it loosens around you and a bunch of the links break. You can take your second attack if you like.
Starting point is 01:03:43 I'll attack the chain again. Sweet. That's not. 16. 16 does not do it. I'll attack it again. Okay. 23. That hits.
Starting point is 01:03:55 Re-roll on the one. 15 damage. 15 damage, hard one. You fully break this chain, and you see the widow staggers back and you see one of the other spectral forms of her briefly takes over. Go ahead and roll a persuasion check with advantage. Not 20.
Starting point is 01:04:20 You've got to be fucking kidding. You see this other, the other spectral form that was like, we need to save the child, we need to save the child, takes precedence over the one who kind of wants revenge on Elias. You see that these are kind of all different parts of her that otherwise would just be parts of her personality but they've all been brought out into the extreme
Starting point is 01:04:45 in this hell and just the fact that she's been brought back so many times. You see this other version of her takes over and she kind of staggers back and she goes, Alias, is that you? It's still a little Alias. You save the child, Mom. And then we're going to come back over to the layer action back into the main room. You guys see, once again, Galad holds his hands up
Starting point is 01:05:16 and more heads come out of those spheres that are surrounding the room. This one is a frightened thing. So, it very literally can't be frightened. But also we get, what do we get to it? With my aura of courage, it's a new paladin thing. Everyone within 10 feet of me cannot be frightened. Woo! She's a great, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy. I shake my tits at him.
Starting point is 01:05:38 I'm held yet. That's inappropriate. I put up a giant sphere of white. I will have some balls of light. Yes. I definitely do like shake the tits, shake the ass, shake the, you know, I kind of taught him that way. It's not a sphere.
Starting point is 01:05:54 It's like a go-go dancer cage. I'm a giant, that is your turn. All right, you know, I'm glad I've been trying all this fancy stuff, but I think that the reason none of it has been working is that someone wants a little reunion with you. And I can't guardian of nature with myself and then reveal Rosalene.
Starting point is 01:06:17 Start making me do it. I don't even care about her. I have soul swallower. Oh, good thing that you don't, because honestly, she responds to my grip like a little What no? I like the sword. Oh, don't do that. You don't know what I've done with that sword And then I attack Does a 25 hit him just get none. No, you're I see it does
Starting point is 01:06:42 You guys are fucking I can you guys are fucking just be, you guys are fucking, just bevin' moonshine. You can go at Zaz, it's crazy. Him for 20. Jesus. Who is it for 18? Papa, get in there. Weeem. Clean up.
Starting point is 01:06:57 Oh, God. Does a 10 hit? No, Paul. And in fact, as a legendary action, Galad is going to spitefully attack Papa. Ah! And hits, that's a 21 to hit, Papa. Well, he, I mean, he's gone.
Starting point is 01:07:13 He, you're just, that's like the equivalent of kicking a dog for no reason. You guys see Glad kicks Papa's, where does he can? You see Papa flies across the room. Rear! My baby! Crashes into the wall, reverse out of his fungal form, Papa's, or does he can? You see Papa flies across the room. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Whatever the fuck you saw the swallow Yeah, I killed your stupid little rat. It's all sucking and swallowing with you, isn't it? Yeah You are a freak, but you are pretending not to be which makes you the most born kind of person. Yeah Shut up
Starting point is 01:08:01 Celebrate your light. You're hiding it and it's gone out. That is Gladstone. Glad is going to take a couple of attacks on our friend, Balnor here. Hits on the first attack. Lay off our freaking pop. Yeah, lay off Balnor. 26 damage on the first attack. Hits on the second attack.
Starting point is 01:08:24 27 damage on the second attack. 27 damage on the second attack. You see Balnor staggers, superhertz. Hits on the last attack. You guys see Galad slashes Balnor across the chest. Blood spurts everywhere. And he kicks Balnor down and Balnor goes down. Balnor! At the end of Galad's turn,
Starting point is 01:08:47 you guys see in the windows these projections, you see that the monsters have begun sacking Hill home. But it doesn't look like anyone is there. They've destroyed a bunch of homes and set fire to farms. Okay, why doesn't it look like anyone is there. They've destroyed a bunch of homes and set fire to farms. Okay. Why doesn't it look like anyone is there because it is a movie set. The stacking of Hill home did not happen. I don't have the budget for this. You look, you straight up look at, um, you look at the Glade Home one and you
Starting point is 01:09:20 notice that nothing's happening there. And glad's like, wait, what's going on in Gladehub? Guys, anything happening. Okay, you're just going for some authenticity, right? This is some, why would I do this? Why would I make this? And one of them is free. You're trying to deep fake us.
Starting point is 01:09:37 You guys see that the monsters in Hill Home have destroyed a bunch of homes and set fire to farms, but you don't see any halflings that have been killed. You just see monsters like overrunning the town. Finally, you see an airship land on a field across from the army of monsters, and then you see aboard the ship is the tiniest little army that they could muster from this town of non-combatants. You see cannons emerge from below deck and above deck is a line of nervous, halfling archers,
Starting point is 01:10:18 leading them is a gway. With her green knight helm, you see snake fangs covering the top part of her face and the bottom part of her face. You see she walks around and angrily adjusts a bunch of the archers. You see she holds up her hand as if to signal for them to hold. And then you see Irland in a little suit
Starting point is 01:10:44 a full plate mail, his red hair sticking out from under a helm that covers his whole face. And you see piloting the airship is red. And you see Gunther holding a spear waiting on the edge of the airship. You see as the monsters get closer, the cannons on the ship fire and take out a bunch of the monsters in the front line, but you see that it looks like there's just an endless charge of them that is coming
Starting point is 01:11:15 towards the airship. You see a Gwain, lowers her hand, and you see the nervous halflings shoot up into the air and there's a volley of arrows, but then you see from behind them a volley of hundreds of arrows. And you see cresting over the hill behind the airship, a line of high Elven archers shooting on the monsters. Then you see lines of crick elves with crude weapons charge in from behind them. And then above them, you see dozens of birds fly onto the battlefield and turn into humanoid versions into elves, the old
Starting point is 01:11:57 folks circle and Mimaw. They're joined by a team of high elf wizards. You see Mimaw stands back to back with a high elf wizard with long blonde hair, bright green eyes, and a red robe. As soon as they realize what they're doing, they shoot each other in awkward look and back up and charge into battle against this big line of monsters. That is, Beverly's turn. So if I run to that portal, I can just jump through it
Starting point is 01:12:27 to help him. It looks like a project. If you run to the portal downstairs, you could maybe do that. Yeah. Let's keep that portal open. I turn to Galadon, I say, this is a really great movie.
Starting point is 01:12:42 Yeah, it's pretty compelling, right? It's unfortunate. It's like my favorite movie Star Wars episode one It's unfortunate that the director will meet an early demise George Lucas Not that director All right, so I am going to attack Again, I can't cast my bonus action first. Can I you can yeah, oh cool All right, so I am going to attack. Again, I can't cast my bonus action first, can I? You can, yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:09 Oh, cool. So I'm going to cast my bonus action first, and I'm going to do Hunter's Mark, okay, which lets me mystically mark a quarry, and I get to add a D6 of damage to it. Nice. All right, 27 to hit. That hits.
Starting point is 01:13:26 Yeah, it's not so. All right, so that's going to be, I'll do a first level smite this time. 31 on the first hit. He's hit. He's hit. He's looking very hurt. Okay.
Starting point is 01:13:40 All right, everybody come down. Ha. It truly feels like a shame to strike down such a beautiful cinematographer. Again, I love George Lucas. It's time to separate the art from the artist. Right, I have a lot of opinions about that. I write them on message boards.
Starting point is 01:14:01 I'm not surprised. I'm going to use true Strike to guarantee that I hit. Trying guarantee that I hit. Okay. 27. Yeah, that'll do it. Yeah, I'm going to divine spite again. That's 30 more damage.
Starting point is 01:14:15 Jesus. He's on Death Store. That is Balnor's turn. Balnor is going to go ahead and roll a death saving throw. Just Papa rolled death saving throw? No, Papa just revered, so it's not a form. We can't do that. He's the only one who has complete blood armor.
Starting point is 01:14:37 Although kicking him is cool. That was brutal, yeah. Yeah, I will kick him from time to time, but I won't kill him. Please add plus four to that saving throw. Yeah Balnor Fails because you rolled in at five. So that's one failure for Balnor and then We could over to a hard one hard one. It is your turn. You see on
Starting point is 01:14:59 God you roll the mad 20 of your fucking persuasion check you see She looks at you for a second and she goes, my son, you look so familiar, but, and yet it's like I'm seeing you for the first time. You see she starts to reach out to you and then you see the chains wrap around her and shock her and she lets out this horrible yell. Let's get you out of these chains, mama.
Starting point is 01:15:27 You see the two of you, go ahead and make a strength check with advantage. 25, Jesus. And she got a 21. You working together with the widow, you reach in, you feel like nocrotic energy pushing against your hand. You just let it go fucking numb and clench it,
Starting point is 01:15:51 pull the chains apart as she's pushing. They break away and you feel the spell break, chains fly off of her. And she falls down to the ground. I've run over and kneel next to her. She grabs you, she gives you a hug, she kisses you on both cheeks. My son, hey.
Starting point is 01:16:17 Well shit. I didn't think I'd be meeting you in a sword. It's ironic that glad Rosalp brought us together in some weird way. It's all my fault, mom. It's not your fault, not always all my fault. I don't, you see, she grabs you and she holds your face, facing hers and she goes, I don't know what I've been,
Starting point is 01:16:40 these past few years, I don't know what I've been, these past few decades, but I want you to know that when I was your mother, that you were wanted, and when I was a little girl, I was raised with the chosen, I was in a cult, I was excited to experience a happy childhood through you. I was, I love you, Elias. I love you, I love you too, Mom.
Starting point is 01:17:08 She gives you a hug and she goes, I just, I wanted, I wanted to experience teaching you at a sword fight, had a, had a ride horses, had a, God, we could have had so much time. It's alright, Mom. I, I never learned how to sword fight, but I can swing, I can swing a hammer, I can swing an axe. She shakes her head to sword fight, but I can swing I could swing a hammer I could swing an axe. She shakes her head and she goes, God, you're just like your father I've also been eating horses instead of riding them, but we'll get to that later. Yeah, you see she looks at your translucent skin she goes what? You're your cursed you're dead. You're like me. Tell you what you you saved me. Whatever you were for all those years afterwards,
Starting point is 01:17:46 you were a good mom, you saved me. I got myself killed. This isn't your fault. You see, she looks off into the distance and she goes, we've all made mistakes, Elias. I don't know how much of that you saw these memories you were playing. From the beginning to the end, and then it started a little bit in the beginning.
Starting point is 01:18:13 So you saw it, you saw it like one and a half times, one and a quarter times, right? I give it a zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes if I'm being honest. No, you're, your father, you know, he was a complicated man. I think in his dream world, we're all one happy family and in Cords Great Hall.
Starting point is 01:18:33 But, you know, there's more to life than, you know, drinking and fighting. Is there? Ha-ha. She nods and she goes, I wish, I really wish we could have spent more time together. You got a lot to teach me still, Mom. Don't worry. I'm Dome as hell. And she looks out. So you guys are in like a strange version of lower Galator on. And you look out onto the sea and she's looking around and you guys are standing there in the rain and she goes, the strangest thing about all of this, about
Starting point is 01:19:14 you being here, is that it only started raining when you got here. I remember this day and I remember being so angry because it was such a beautiful day and such an awful thing happened. And you see a crack of lightning in the distance. I think we're not alone. Hard one go ahead and make a perception check with advantage. It's a little well. 11.
Starting point is 01:19:43 A little middle of the road. And 11, hard one you see, as there is like the crack of lightning, you could have sworn you saw in the deep distance moonshine and Beverly fighting galad, just for like a flash. What's way out there, Mom? I don't know, should we find out? If you've got a way to get there, let's go. You see your mother grabs you, and she jumps and begins flying towards where the lightning bolt was.
Starting point is 01:20:18 And Mom can fly. Fuck yeah. That is back up to moonshine turn. moonshine you see in glads sort. You see hard ones face and the widow, like reaching out, like getting close to like getting out of the sword. That is your turn. Glad is looking fucked up though, right?
Starting point is 01:20:40 You super fucked up. All right, first I'm gonna heal in word, bouncer. Sweet bouncer pops fucked up. All right, first I'm gonna heal in word, Bounder. Sweet Bounder pops back up. Nice. And then I am going to spores him for 18. Okay, he is so fucking close to death. But we'll lead every, okay. All right, well, okay, actually I wanna hear
Starting point is 01:21:00 what you have to say, maybe I am here to bargain. All right, everyone, okay, what if you were the Dark Lord of Shadowfell? And I just leave. I'm wearing the previous Dark Lord of Shadowfell and the belly chair. So it's a pretty shit-freaking job. You can just end up in a belly chair. I'll suck your dick.
Starting point is 01:21:20 My dick? Your dick, yeah. I'll suck your belly chair. That'll be pretty funny. Actually, yeah, could you suck my dick? Your dick, yeah. I'll suck your belly chain. That'll be pretty funny. Actually, yeah, could you suck my dick and I put Rosalie in between my legs? I got two ones because I roll with advantage because I have a guardian of nature,
Starting point is 01:21:39 but because of Elvin Agarison. Nice, yeah. I got a 15. 15 does not hit. It does not hit. With all those fucking roles, I did not fucking do it. At the end of your turn, Galad is just going to swing wildly at you.
Starting point is 01:21:53 Don't make me suck Rosalene. He rolls a nat one. He's mixing himself a little bit. That is Gal Glad's turn. Okay, he's gonna try to use this skill called Shadow Step, but to do that, he needs to get to one of the corners. So he starts running, Bevin Munchine, you guys get opportunity to attack on him.
Starting point is 01:22:19 It's a whack to this, Doofus. 25. Munchine as Glad tries to run back to escape. It's really just still like a dick between my legs. Um, like a horse towards it. Munchine, finish him. Yeah. I'm going to reach my hand towards the widow's hand. Munchine, you reach your hand out.
Starting point is 01:22:42 There's like this mini spectral version of the widow's hand. You grab it, it turns into a real solid hand, and you fucking yank the widow and hard one out of the sword. And Galad is just staggering on the floor, it falls down. Away, no, I'll suck everyone's dick here. Don't listen to him, he doesn't hold up his end of the bargain. Man, everyone. A hard one, Mama hard one.
Starting point is 01:23:12 I don't know, I got left over. Is he thinking you can finish it off? Hell yeah, bud. Shine. I put my forehead against mood shines. I'm gonna, I swirl my ax walking towards galad and then I want to flip it back towards my mom Oh I should have done this a long time ago mama. You see she catches the axe
Starting point is 01:23:35 She starts walking over towards galad and galad goes no no hang on all right I'm the dark lord of shadow. I can do whatever you want. I can free from your god-jentil and she could. Just please don't kill me. You see, the widow has hard ones ax, goes up to him and goes, you're wrong. I'm the Dark Lord of Shadowfell and she...ops. Oh. Wow.
Starting point is 01:24:06 My stomach sinks, but I start slow clapping. I've been to me. See? I absolutely bend to me. Head rolls on the ground. You see the widow grabs sole swallower off the ground. What a stupid name. We're going to rename read. Yeah, I can get a list to you You see you have a like a baby names book but for some names any good adventure it does
Starting point is 01:24:36 You see she raises the sword over her head and begins projecting to all the monsters of shadow fell and begins projecting to all the monsters of Shadowfell. Hard one, you are once again transported to the Black Void that you saw in your vision, just blackness. Well, see you later. And this giant red portal, this arcane gate, with hordes of monsters on both sides of it. And you see the widow looms over. And she goes, glad Roselle is no more.
Starting point is 01:25:09 Your work here is complete. All those who wish to be at rest, drop your weapons, and I will grant you peace. You see, you guys can see like Munchine and Beverly outside watching the projections across the wall. You see in these battles, monsters begin dropping their weapons and then disappearing. You see the various armies of like elves and dwarves and halflings look super confused, but then start cheering. Just super excited. Now that's an ending.
Starting point is 01:25:45 And then snap. Hard one that you appear back in this great haul with the widow and all of your friends. You see Erdan has just finished his fight against the two shadow guard. They were tough foes and he goes, oh, how did everyone else's fight go? Good.
Starting point is 01:26:02 I mean, better than expected. And you see in the corner, Papa was like teetering. He was like cocked out and he turns over. And he ran over and you, Papa is like really playing. Papa is, Well, first off, Papa crit, but now he, not Papa got to get, Papa is playing it up like a little kid that
Starting point is 01:26:27 like falls and you can tell that they're not actually hurt but they're crying to get attention. It's fine. I'm feeding him all the popsicle. He's feeding me and Papa just feeding. Fighting so many popsicles. Mom, I'd like you to meet my friends. Hi Mrs. Hard one.
Starting point is 01:26:42 Hi, we kind of met once before but it's nice to meet under much better pretenses. You see congratulations on your coronation, you wear it well. She laughs and she goes, I've been taking a lot of orders from gods and I'd like to be one for once. Well, you stepped into it quite naturally. She brings you guys all in for a big group hug. And that's where we'll end our session. Oh!
Starting point is 01:27:15 My mom's a dark lord. I know, it's bad as though she took that without hesitation. She wanted it. I was as moonshine was thinking, huh, is there a world where I could become the Dark Lord and I could bring some hospitality to Shadowfell? So I don't see it. I don't see it as necessarily a bad thing.
Starting point is 01:27:34 I agree. I feel like it's, I'll talk about it on the short rest, but it feels almost like getting over a parent's divorce. Yeah. Right on. Oh, this actually is better for her. I guess we just don't know what her platform is, but like, she's getting to it.
Starting point is 01:27:46 Right, she's definitely got it, it's a runoff against Pender Green. Yeah. You're going, she'll be no excuse to do me. I know we're gonna talk about it on the short res, but I really like how complicated your parents relationship was. Me too.
