Transcript for Episode 3: You Feel A Sting

00:00:00,690 → 00:00:02,900

Meghan: Previously, on Quest Laid Plans:

00:00:02,900 → 00:00:03,650

[eerie synth music]

00:00:03,676 → 00:00:04,400

Esther: Hi, Kit.

00:00:04,470 → 00:00:06,300

It's been seven years since we've talked.

00:00:06,300 → 00:00:09,000

So maybe some other stuff has happened since we've last chatted.

00:00:09,360 → 00:00:09,680

Noriah: Great.

00:00:10,010 → 00:00:11,640

No one's-- No one's fighting.

00:00:11,760 → 00:00:15,480

Jesse: So Esther's familiar is a shiba husky.

00:00:15,780 → 00:00:21,000

I was thinking I'll roll a d4 every time I cast this spell and based on like what

00:00:21,000 → 00:00:25,740

it lands, the shiba has like a different degree of like how fucked up it is.

00:00:26,190 → 00:00:29,730

Meghan: It is the hottest guy any of you have ever seen.

00:00:29,850 → 00:00:31,139

Neda: Do we know this hot elf?

00:00:31,710 → 00:00:34,765

Meghan: This is Khabriel, this is Khiron's baby brother.

00:00:35,095 → 00:00:40,315

You guys notice as the night goes on that there's an empty chair at the table.

00:00:40,705 → 00:00:43,555

Maya: Were we expecting-- Anybody expecting anybody else?

00:00:43,775 → 00:00:44,305

Meghan: Porla says,

00:00:44,905 → 00:00:46,005

Porla: That's for Khiron.

00:00:46,055 → 00:00:50,335

Meghan: And just as you feel the tears about to spill over, you see some of

00:00:50,335 → 00:00:54,805

the fairy lights dim, and they all sort of concentrate on this makeshift

00:00:54,805 → 00:00:58,675

stage, this ledge with this covered memorial that we're all waiting to

00:00:58,675 → 00:01:02,735

see unveiled, and this podium, and up to the podium steps Kyralius Murrie.

00:01:02,785 → 00:01:04,345

Kyralius: Well, good, good evening, everybody.

00:01:04,345 → 00:01:05,395

Thanks for coming.

00:01:05,425 → 00:01:06,805

This is the main event.

00:01:06,805 → 00:01:08,575

This is what we're all here for.

00:01:08,635 → 00:01:13,205

It is at this time that I would like to invite Khiron's brother Khabriel

00:01:13,205 → 00:01:16,075

Omaralei to the stage to deliver a poem.

00:01:16,345 → 00:01:19,375

Khabriel: They came from all over, the glorious eight.

00:01:19,825 → 00:01:22,495

They came without knowing they do something great.

00:01:22,885 → 00:01:24,595

Winswip: This is a very accurate recap.

00:01:24,625 → 00:01:25,195

Wow.

00:01:25,435 → 00:01:30,805

Khabriel: Now 10 years have passed and we still miss our girl-- I'm sorry.

00:01:30,805 → 00:01:31,855

Meghan: And then he runs off stage.

00:01:32,105 → 00:01:33,985

Kyralius: I think we can all agree that this is, you know,

00:01:34,015 → 00:01:34,975

that was beautiful, and--

00:01:35,054 → 00:01:36,695

[sound of explosion]

00:01:37,024 → 00:01:44,085

Meghan: You see in the place where Kyralius was a massive gaping toothy maw,

00:01:44,545 → 00:01:46,304

and I need everyone to roll initiative.

00:01:46,620 → 00:01:52,259

Out of its mouth you see fly this dark shadow and it shoots out a

00:01:52,280 → 00:01:56,550

tendril, almost like a long leash that it wraps around the worm's neck.

00:01:56,850 → 00:02:04,140

And you realize you were being set upon by this nasty-ass like, giant bat creature.

00:02:04,380 → 00:02:06,305

Winswip: Flat the bats, everyone, flat the bats!

00:02:06,720 → 00:02:11,430

Meghan: You see Khabriel using his magic to sort of lift the statue up

00:02:11,430 → 00:02:15,390

back to its upright position and as it hits its mark and stands, you see

00:02:15,420 → 00:02:20,940

the statue draw its sword down, take its other hand off of its heart, and

00:02:21,000 → 00:02:24,019

it squares up and faces the Wraith.

00:02:24,124 → 00:02:24,644

[eerie music fades]

00:02:25,968 → 00:02:28,305

[theme music begins]

00:02:29,503 → 00:02:39,340

[theme music plays]

00:03:04,249 → 00:03:05,520

Meghan: Welcome to Quest Laid Plans.

00:03:05,520 → 00:03:09,329

The podcast that asks the question: can an old party learn new tricks?

00:03:09,360 → 00:03:13,829

I am your dungeonmaster, Megan Kelleher, and with me are the five

00:03:13,829 → 00:03:16,260

previous owners of my cat, Cake.

00:03:17,579 → 00:03:18,810

Maya: Hi, I'm Maya S.

00:03:18,810 → 00:03:24,030

Ming, and I play Winswip Pom, the air genasi gnome rune fighter, who's

00:03:24,030 → 00:03:25,530

finally getting to see some fighting.

00:03:25,920 → 00:03:27,640

Phil: Hi everyone, I'm Phil Arevalo.

00:03:27,750 → 00:03:32,429

I play Kit Marpola, the water genasi monk, who has no idea

00:03:32,429 → 00:03:34,350

how he ever got to own a cat.

00:03:35,370 → 00:03:37,170

Jesse: Hello, I'm Jesse B.

00:03:37,200 → 00:03:43,580

Koehler, the human boy, confused boy, golden boy, Esther Mifiance, sorcerer.

00:03:44,060 → 00:03:45,230

Jamie: I'm Jamie Hathaway.

00:03:45,230 → 00:03:50,150

I play Aveline Javri Skywatcher, a circle of wildfire Kalashtar druid.

00:03:50,180 → 00:03:51,500

Ready to burn some stuff up.

00:03:51,980 → 00:03:55,760

Neda: And I'm Neda Marie Valcheva and I play your halfling wizard rogue,

00:03:55,760 → 00:03:59,940

Noriah Windsworn, who hasn't done magic in front of her friends yet.

00:04:00,280 → 00:04:00,776

Meghan: Alright.

00:04:00,997 → 00:04:05,407

[tense music begins] So last we left off, we had just finished one very long and

00:04:05,407 → 00:04:11,167

very exciting round of combat our first combat, which occurred when the dedication

00:04:11,167 → 00:04:18,217

ceremony of the statue of your beloved lost friend Khiron at your 10th final

00:04:18,217 → 00:04:23,587

battle reunion was rudely interrupted by a young Remorhaz bursting out of the

00:04:23,587 → 00:04:27,817

ground and swallowing up the head and vice head of the adventuring guilds.

00:04:27,877 → 00:04:33,007

And not only did that happen, but then it barfed out a Wraith which

00:04:33,007 → 00:04:36,317

then started tormenting it by putting it on a leash of shadows.

00:04:36,502 → 00:04:41,812

And you are now contending, in addition to that, with three Strigoi who have

00:04:41,872 → 00:04:47,282

approached you from behind and started sucking the blood of Brekx and Kit

00:04:47,302 → 00:04:50,932

and Noriah and a Strigoi-- I said this off-air, but then I was like,

00:04:50,932 → 00:04:52,052

that's funny, I'll say it on air.

00:04:52,432 → 00:04:56,422

Um, it's basically like, um, a bat-mosquito mixed with a hairy toddler.

00:04:57,142 → 00:04:57,742

Jamie: I hate it.

00:04:58,282 → 00:04:59,082

Phil: I don't like it.

00:04:59,605 → 00:04:59,862

Jesse: Oh.

00:04:59,865 → 00:05:00,285

Meghan: I don't either.

00:05:00,287 → 00:05:03,232

Maya: I was going to make fun of you for the like, behind-sucking thing, but now

00:05:03,232 → 00:05:04,882

I can't because you mentioned toddlers.

00:05:04,912 → 00:05:08,152

So thanks a lot.

00:05:09,082 → 00:05:11,152

Meghan: Yeah, there's a lot-- that's unfortunate.

00:05:11,182 → 00:05:17,182

The last thing that we witnessed was Khabriel animating the statue of his

00:05:17,182 → 00:05:22,702

late older sister and this beautiful, marble and gold, larger-than-life figure

00:05:22,792 → 00:05:30,412

of Khiron raising its marble sword and squaring off against the Wraith.

00:05:30,562 → 00:05:35,697

So the next thing that happens is that this statue levitates off of the

00:05:35,697 → 00:05:42,657

ground and eerily glides across this stage platform area over to the Wraith,

00:05:42,687 → 00:05:47,787

where it attacks with its great marble sword and severs the link between

00:05:47,817 → 00:05:49,777

the Wraith and the young Remorhaz.

00:05:49,797 → 00:05:54,027

So this shadowy leash is severed, it dissipates, the young Remorhaz

00:05:54,027 → 00:05:54,267

[worm scream]

00:05:54,267 → 00:05:57,792

Meghan: rears up and screams and is happy that it is free.

00:05:57,807 → 00:06:02,217

And at this point, uh, we are back at the top of the order

00:06:02,367 → 00:06:04,417

and it is the Wraith's turn.

00:06:05,217 → 00:06:09,897

You see its shadowy form kind of jiggle and be agitated for a moment.

00:06:09,897 → 00:06:13,047

And then it is going to realize what has just happened.

00:06:13,617 → 00:06:19,797

And it is going to launch itself at the Khiron statue and latch

00:06:19,797 → 00:06:24,687

onto its neck and see what that does with an animated statue.

00:06:25,377 → 00:06:27,507

I'm going to make an attack roll for the Wraith.

00:06:27,987 → 00:06:31,287

Phil: I feel like we're inferring the intelligence score of this Wraith now.

00:06:31,937 → 00:06:32,424

Jamie: Yeah.

00:06:32,431 → 00:06:36,220

All: [laughter]

00:06:36,227 → 00:06:36,857

Maya: Yeah.

00:06:36,857 → 00:06:37,867

Maybe a little.

00:06:38,857 → 00:06:39,097

Meghan: Okay.

00:06:39,097 → 00:06:40,387

So let's see.

00:06:40,747 → 00:06:41,167

Yes.

00:06:41,167 → 00:06:42,187

You know, what's crazy?

00:06:42,517 → 00:06:43,327

Neda: So many things.

00:06:43,627 → 00:06:45,057

Maya: Just maybe tell us.

00:06:45,120 → 00:06:46,977

All: [laughter]

00:06:47,427 → 00:06:51,487

Meghan: You are all sitting here thinking this is nuts.

00:06:51,517 → 00:06:54,967

This, this, this Wraith can't suck life out of a statue.

00:06:54,967 → 00:06:55,797

That's ridiculous.

00:06:56,557 → 00:06:57,227

However,

00:06:57,227 → 00:06:57,707

Maya: Oh no.

00:06:58,117 → 00:07:01,087

Meghan: It has been imbued with life, with magical life, from

00:07:01,267 → 00:07:02,347

a college of creation Bard.

00:07:02,347 → 00:07:05,987

And so it is-- You can kind of see it like sucking, um,

00:07:06,157 → 00:07:06,577

[sound of Wraith sucking]

00:07:06,577 → 00:07:09,967

Meghan: you see like magic kind of moving through the bronze in the

00:07:09,967 → 00:07:11,887

statue, like as though it was veins.

00:07:11,977 → 00:07:17,647

And the statue, which has hit points and a little stat block, is going to take an

00:07:17,647 → 00:07:19,317

amount of damage that I will now roll.

00:07:20,547 → 00:07:20,757

Jesse: Good.

00:07:21,837 → 00:07:23,557

Maya: Love to be retraumatized.

00:07:23,587 → 00:07:23,887

Neda: Yeah.

00:07:23,887 → 00:07:26,747

I was just thinking we're at our friend's memorial...

00:07:26,787 → 00:07:29,047

Maya: We're watching her statue, just, you know, just...

00:07:29,047 → 00:07:29,167

eat it.

00:07:29,167 → 00:07:33,532

Neda: Watching her heroic figure just get fucking whomped again.

00:07:33,762 → 00:07:37,732

Meghan: You see the magic kind of flowing through as if the marble was skin, you can

00:07:37,732 → 00:07:39,512

see it sucking out and into the Wraith.

00:07:39,532 → 00:07:41,842

The statue is going to take 19 points of damage.

00:07:41,842 → 00:07:46,042

And when the Wraith detaches itself, you see it's, it is moving a little bit more

00:07:46,042 → 00:07:50,772

slowly as though it's made out of stone and not just a straight up large lady.

00:07:50,962 → 00:07:52,732

That is the Wraith's turn.

00:07:52,732 → 00:07:54,262

And now it is Winswip's turn.

00:07:54,262 → 00:07:57,592

And I realized that in the previous episode, I think I had the Strigoi go

00:07:57,592 → 00:07:59,782

before Winswip, and that was my mistake.

00:07:59,782 → 00:08:03,062

I think you were supposed to be first, so we're gonna just fix that now.

00:08:03,062 → 00:08:03,472

Maya: Okay.

00:08:03,832 → 00:08:04,812

Well, good.

00:08:04,912 → 00:08:06,592

I'm totally ready for that.

00:08:06,902 → 00:08:12,052

The Strigoi that was attacking Noriah, is that one still alive?

00:08:12,202 → 00:08:12,382

Meghan: Yep.

00:08:12,412 → 00:08:13,252

They're all still alive.

00:08:13,252 → 00:08:17,842

And as far as I believe, I remember saying that that Strigoi had disengaged from

00:08:17,842 → 00:08:19,702

Noriah and was now, um, fighting with you?

00:08:19,822 → 00:08:20,212

Maya: Yes.

00:08:20,212 → 00:08:20,962

You did say that.

00:08:21,172 → 00:08:26,002

So I'm going to fight it back at least once with, with the Warhammer.

00:08:26,382 → 00:08:27,282

Just go for it.

00:08:27,562 → 00:08:31,412

That is a 12, which I don't think will hit.

00:08:31,672 → 00:08:32,952

Meghan: No, it will not.

00:08:33,022 → 00:08:35,992

Maya: It's just, it's too dang wiggly in the sky.

00:08:36,152 → 00:08:38,692

Meghan: Well, having flattened it before it's now an even weirder

00:08:38,692 → 00:08:41,812

target, because if it turns side-on, it's like, where'd it go?

00:08:43,292 → 00:08:43,642

Maya: Yeah.

00:08:43,892 → 00:08:44,572

That's-- Mmhmm.

00:08:44,572 → 00:08:45,382

We'll go with that.

00:08:45,472 → 00:08:45,982

Okay.

00:08:46,042 → 00:08:48,592

Uh, I guess I'll just go, go for it again.

00:08:49,342 → 00:08:51,532

And, uh, how about a 16?

00:08:51,802 → 00:08:52,372

Meghan: That will hit.

00:08:52,552 → 00:08:53,002

Maya: All right.

00:08:53,152 → 00:08:53,602

Cool.

00:08:53,722 → 00:09:00,052

I'm-- I did something you guys, I hit a thing for a full 5 damage.

00:09:00,292 → 00:09:01,282

Phil: Still counts.

00:09:02,122 → 00:09:02,962

Meghan: Still counts.

00:09:04,442 → 00:09:04,702

Maya: Yep.

00:09:04,702 → 00:09:04,762

Um,

00:09:05,072 → 00:09:05,842

Neda: Thank you.

00:09:06,262 → 00:09:08,992

Meghan: Look at us just a bunch of crazy millennials with fucking

00:09:08,992 → 00:09:11,952

decades-old references that we're still guffawing over.

00:09:12,282 → 00:09:13,862

This is great content, you guys.

00:09:13,952 → 00:09:16,072

Phil: Does anyone even know who Akon is anymore?

00:09:16,425 → 00:09:18,355

All: [laughter]

00:09:18,872 → 00:09:23,812

Meghan: That was like the first iPhone app, was like, turn your voice into Akon.

00:09:24,762 → 00:09:25,322

Maya: Oh, wow.

00:09:25,882 → 00:09:29,542

That just like unleashed a deeply buried memory.

00:09:29,752 → 00:09:32,722

Neda: I hate that we're finding our brand and the brand is this.

00:09:35,332 → 00:09:35,872

Maya: We don't have to--

00:09:35,872 → 00:09:36,733

Phil: We don't have to stick to that yet.

00:09:36,823 → 00:09:37,722

Meghan: That still counts.

00:09:38,464 → 00:09:42,322

Jamie: I think when you make a podcast with the premise that it's like

00:09:42,742 → 00:09:48,922

adventurers, who were like angsty teens who are now slightly less angsty, mid

00:09:48,982 → 00:09:54,712

twenties to early thirties, people-- We're going to be like weird millennial gen Z

00:09:54,712 → 00:09:57,262

cusp people making references from 2012.

00:09:57,392 → 00:10:00,212

Neda: I'm going through and cutting every single reference

00:10:00,212 → 00:10:02,092

out of this on my producer pass.

00:10:02,632 → 00:10:05,272

Maya: I think I have other actions I can take, but I just

00:10:05,272 → 00:10:07,222

think it's not quite the time.

00:10:07,222 → 00:10:12,652

Winswip does see the drama that is happening with the statue and this Wraith

00:10:12,712 → 00:10:16,992

and wants to help, but she is not going to leave until she's sure that this

00:10:17,302 → 00:10:18,877

thing that was attacking Noriah is dead.

00:10:18,877 → 00:10:20,077

So I think she's going to stay there.

00:10:20,407 → 00:10:20,887

Meghan: Okay.

00:10:21,007 → 00:10:22,777

Maya: Also is Noriah still hiding behind her?

00:10:23,077 → 00:10:25,057

Neda: Yeah, Noriah is technically hidden right now.

00:10:25,297 → 00:10:25,627

Maya: Okay.

00:10:26,327 → 00:10:30,007

Does Winswip know that Noriah is hiding behind her?

00:10:30,247 → 00:10:34,717

Neda: I don't think so, but also I-- you don't need to worry about me.

00:10:34,717 → 00:10:35,277

I'm good.

00:10:35,467 → 00:10:36,037

Maya: No, I know.

00:10:36,277 → 00:10:39,997

I'm just picturing, she just like swings, you know, this hammer, just kind of

00:10:40,057 → 00:10:42,127

lightly nails this thing and is just like,

00:10:42,457 → 00:10:42,937

Winswip: Noriah?

00:10:43,447 → 00:10:44,047

Are you okay?

00:10:44,047 → 00:10:44,767

Where'd you go?

00:10:45,667 → 00:10:49,237

Neda: Can I, as a free interaction just give, like, her massive

00:10:49,237 → 00:10:50,947

calf muscle just a little tap?

00:10:51,507 → 00:10:51,967

Meghan: Oh yeah.

00:10:52,057 → 00:10:52,767

Phil: Calf tap.

00:10:53,117 → 00:10:53,507

Winswip: Wow, okay!

00:10:53,667 → 00:10:55,237

Neda: Just like a very gentle little like,

00:10:55,237 → 00:10:56,397

Noriah: Hi, I'm down here.

00:10:56,767 → 00:10:59,767

Jamie: You definitely, this definitely has happened before

00:10:59,797 → 00:11:01,417

with like the size-changing stuff.

00:11:01,417 → 00:11:05,617

So you definitely have like an elaborate system of basically like Morse code that

00:11:05,617 → 00:11:10,117

you can like tap on her leg to be like, "I'm good" or "I'm not good", or...

00:11:10,207 → 00:11:12,647

Neda: A variation of my Thieves' Cant is that--

00:11:12,688 → 00:11:13,153

Maya: Oh my god.

00:11:13,213 → 00:11:13,383

Jamie: Yeah.

00:11:13,383 → 00:11:14,047

Neda: --I give Winswip--

00:11:14,047 → 00:11:14,867

Maya: Morse code on Winswip's--

00:11:15,007 → 00:11:17,103

Neda: --little taps on her legs.

00:11:18,053 → 00:11:18,230

Phil: Calf taps.

00:11:18,230 → 00:11:18,920

Maya: --meaty leg.

00:11:19,063 → 00:11:21,083

All: [laughter]

00:11:21,807 → 00:11:23,489

Winswip: Oh, I forgot what that felt like.

00:11:23,489 → 00:11:24,081

Sorry.

00:11:24,081 → 00:11:25,040

Neda: Aww!

00:11:25,040 → 00:11:25,602

Meghan: Aww.

00:11:25,892 → 00:11:27,687

So next in the order are the Strigoi.

00:11:27,757 → 00:11:35,077

The Strigoi who is attacking Brekx is going to disengage and fly over to,

00:11:35,377 → 00:11:41,647

uh, Avilene, and just kind of keep its distance, maybe like six or seven

00:11:41,647 → 00:11:46,087

feet from you, just out of reach, and just kind of menacingly hover.

00:11:46,237 → 00:11:51,277

And as a reminder it is very bloody and rather than attack you--

00:11:51,587 → 00:11:53,617

Avilene, give me a perception check.

00:11:53,887 → 00:11:56,097

Just as a free thing, I know it's not your turn, but just...

00:11:56,497 → 00:11:57,027

Jamie: 15.

00:11:57,367 → 00:11:59,653

Meghan: I'm making up rules and no one can stop me.

00:11:59,713 → 00:12:02,067

Um, you notice that rather than attack you, it kind of keeps

00:12:02,067 → 00:12:03,097

its distance a little bit.

00:12:03,097 → 00:12:05,467

And it's sort of like licking itself, like a cat.

00:12:05,467 → 00:12:08,077

It appears to be like licking all of the blood off of itself that

00:12:08,077 → 00:12:09,827

had spilled when Brekx attacked it.

00:12:10,157 → 00:12:12,877

Jamie: Is that, is that its own blood or is that Brekx's blood?

00:12:13,447 → 00:12:14,347

Meghan: It is Brekx's blood.

00:12:14,587 → 00:12:14,977

Jamie: Okay.

00:12:15,787 → 00:12:16,867

Neda: No longer baby.

00:12:17,167 → 00:12:20,257

I was like, oh, baby, but it's not, it's-- it's not baby.

00:12:20,467 → 00:12:24,337

Phil: Have we seen vampiric shit of this sort before?

00:12:24,637 → 00:12:29,437

Meghan: Um, I don't think you have seen-- You maybe have seen Stirges, so

00:12:29,437 → 00:12:33,337

you would maybe be like, "these are like Stirges on steroids", but you wouldn't

00:12:33,337 → 00:12:34,657

have seen like these specific things.

00:12:34,687 → 00:12:34,927

Phil: Okay.

00:12:35,137 → 00:12:43,777

Meghan: I think that in general, this sort of necrotic-y, dark-flavored magic is not

00:12:43,777 → 00:12:46,177

super known and developed in this world.

00:12:46,447 → 00:12:46,807

Phil: All right.

00:12:46,837 → 00:12:47,917

So this is pretty fucked up.

00:12:48,007 → 00:12:48,607

Meghan: Yes.

00:12:48,647 → 00:12:48,797

Indeed.

00:12:48,817 → 00:12:50,197

Maya: Panic level high.

00:12:50,407 → 00:12:50,737

Meghan: Yep.

00:12:50,767 → 00:12:53,437

The Strigoi that is already engaged with Winswip is going

00:12:53,437 → 00:12:56,207

to attack and it's going to...

00:12:56,377 → 00:12:58,627

Winswip: You are a really nasty-ass bat.

00:13:00,427 → 00:13:03,237

Meghan: 21 to hit with its proboscis.

00:13:03,457 → 00:13:03,607

Maya: Yeah.

00:13:03,607 → 00:13:04,957

Let me, let me just double check.

00:13:04,957 → 00:13:05,857

Yes, yes.

00:13:05,887 → 00:13:06,127

Yes.

00:13:06,127 → 00:13:06,997

That definitely-- Mmhmm.

00:13:07,247 → 00:13:07,847

Definitely hits.

00:13:07,867 → 00:13:08,167

Yep.

00:13:08,397 → 00:13:09,107

Meghan: Mmkay.

00:13:09,157 → 00:13:15,007

And so that is going to do 8 piercing damage and 10 necrotic damage to you.

00:13:15,457 → 00:13:16,027

Maya: Well, fine.

00:13:16,822 → 00:13:18,982

That's totally, I'm totally fine with that.

00:13:19,072 → 00:13:23,152

Meghan: And it's also going to reach out with one of its sharp claws and

00:13:23,152 → 00:13:25,942

it's going to attack a second time.

00:13:25,992 → 00:13:27,052

Does a 15 hit you?

00:13:27,202 → 00:13:27,492

Maya: No.

00:13:27,562 → 00:13:27,832

Meghan: Okay.

00:13:27,832 → 00:13:31,672

So it doesn't quite-- Its claws don't quite penetrate your armor, but the gross

00:13:31,702 → 00:13:33,472

sucking proboscis gets right in there.

00:13:33,532 → 00:13:35,212

Winswip: Oh God really don't like that.

00:13:35,362 → 00:13:35,722

Meghan: Yeah.

00:13:35,722 → 00:13:37,042

It's it's not, it's not great.

00:13:37,042 → 00:13:40,972

And then the third one, which had been engaged with Kit, uh,

00:13:40,972 → 00:13:46,222

is going to disengage from Kit and move its way over to Esther.

00:13:46,222 → 00:13:50,512

And again, not really attack, uh, just kind of hover menacingly.

00:13:50,752 → 00:13:52,282

And that is the Strigoi's turn.

00:13:52,522 → 00:13:53,782

It is now Esther's turn.

00:13:53,862 → 00:13:54,202

Jesse: Great.

00:13:54,382 → 00:13:59,362

I also remembered that Esther had, at least less than an hour ago, produced

00:13:59,362 → 00:14:04,792

his familiar to impress Avilene and never had the familiar disappear.

00:14:04,912 → 00:14:08,652

So I wanted to check if we can say, with combat, like it's still with him.

00:14:08,742 → 00:14:11,302

Meghan: I know we made a ruling that Addie was still here, right?

00:14:11,502 → 00:14:11,712

Jamie: Yeah.

00:14:11,992 → 00:14:12,202

Phil: Yes.

00:14:12,202 → 00:14:12,352

Maya: Mmhmm.

00:14:13,182 → 00:14:15,672

Meghan: And in that case, I think, yeah, the, does the-- I forget,

00:14:15,672 → 00:14:16,852

does the ugly dog have a name?

00:14:16,882 → 00:14:17,212

Jesse: Yeah.

00:14:17,252 → 00:14:17,955

So I was trying--

00:14:17,955 → 00:14:20,625

All: [laughter]

00:14:20,802 → 00:14:26,842

Jesse: The, uh, ugly dog's name is Fink, and, and, and that's, that's the truth.

00:14:27,612 → 00:14:27,652

Uh...

00:14:27,652 → 00:14:28,322

Meghan: Okay.

00:14:28,562 → 00:14:29,962

So Fink is still here.

00:14:29,962 → 00:14:30,872

Jesse: Fink is here.

00:14:31,022 → 00:14:33,002

So yes, I am going--

00:14:33,002 → 00:14:35,032

Jamie: Is that spelled with an F or a pH?

00:14:35,372 → 00:14:35,772

Jesse: Wow.

00:14:36,442 → 00:14:37,312

[laughs] How dare you?

00:14:37,892 → 00:14:40,342

Meghan: It's not just a familiar, it's a jam band.

00:14:41,002 → 00:14:44,222

Jesse: That is a sweet F cause I'm not a madman.

00:14:44,275 → 00:14:46,905

All: [laughter]

00:14:46,938 → 00:14:48,472

Neda: Can we get an F in chat for Fink?

00:14:49,595 → 00:14:51,562

Meghan: F in the chat for Fink!

00:14:52,432 → 00:14:54,642

Neda: Who is very much alive, just Fink.

00:14:55,012 → 00:14:55,342

Jesse: Yeah.

00:14:55,912 → 00:15:01,507

So I think I-- How far away is the Wraith from Esther?

00:15:01,727 → 00:15:07,897

Meghan: It is still probably like 60-ish feet as the crow flies plus up about five.

00:15:07,897 → 00:15:10,927

So like with the trigonometry there, it's like, I don't know.

00:15:10,927 → 00:15:12,527

I literally don't know, but it's more than 65 feet.

00:15:12,527 → 00:15:13,817

Jesse: Okay, that's just fine.

00:15:13,867 → 00:15:16,567

Meghan: It's the hypotenuse of 65 feet and 5 feet.

00:15:16,927 → 00:15:17,347

Jesse: Great.

00:15:17,407 → 00:15:18,397

That's awesome.

00:15:18,607 → 00:15:23,167

So I'm going to use a Magic Missile as a third level spell, um, which means

00:15:23,167 → 00:15:25,627

I get five sweet darts to distribute.

00:15:25,867 → 00:15:31,197

And because I have Fink at my side, I can have the help action on my attack roll.

00:15:31,197 → 00:15:34,207

Meghan: Sure, you just have to be a storyteller for a moment

00:15:34,207 → 00:15:37,537

and tell me in what way that the ugly dog is helping you aim.

00:15:37,897 → 00:15:38,787

Jesse: Is helping me aim?

00:15:39,127 → 00:15:40,227

[laughs] I think--

00:15:40,437 → 00:15:42,117

Maya: Isn't it auto-hits?

00:15:42,237 → 00:15:43,612

Phil: Yeah, doesn't Magic Missile just hit?

00:15:43,642 → 00:15:44,362

Meghan: Oh yeah, they do.

00:15:44,392 → 00:15:45,502

So, yeah, you don't need the help action.

00:15:45,502 → 00:15:46,202

Jesse: Oh, okay, great.

00:15:46,222 → 00:15:46,762

So then--

00:15:46,822 → 00:15:50,092

Jamie: You don't need the help action, but Fink is giving you moral support.

00:15:50,212 → 00:15:50,602

Jesse: Yeah.

00:15:51,272 → 00:15:53,712

Meghan: Fink is helping by reminding you that they auto-hit.

00:15:53,712 → 00:15:57,532

Jesse: Yeah Fink is kind of losing her mind right now and is

00:15:57,532 → 00:15:59,302

like jumping all over the place.

00:15:59,422 → 00:16:04,232

So I'm going to send three of these missiles at, uh, the Wraith.

00:16:04,232 → 00:16:04,612

Meghan: Okay.

00:16:04,612 → 00:16:06,292

Maya: She's a lady ugly dog.

00:16:06,412 → 00:16:07,312

That's feminism.

00:16:07,372 → 00:16:09,922

Meghan: It's like, yeah, women can do anything.

00:16:09,922 → 00:16:13,432

And it's like, oh, you know why you couldn't solve that logic puzzle?

00:16:13,462 → 00:16:18,332

Because the ugly dog was a woman and you've made assumptions.

00:16:18,338 → 00:16:19,838

All: [laughter]

00:16:19,842 → 00:16:23,372

Jesse: So that's um, 12 force damage to the Wraith.

00:16:23,372 → 00:16:23,482

Meghan: Okay.

00:16:23,572 → 00:16:27,562

Jesse: And then I'm going to send the remaining two to this bat

00:16:27,622 → 00:16:29,482

boy that is floating close to me.

00:16:30,112 → 00:16:33,292

So that's 6 force damage.

00:16:33,322 → 00:16:34,852

Meghan: The one that's near you, I'm assuming?

00:16:34,852 → 00:16:35,282

Jesse: Yes.

00:16:36,052 → 00:16:37,222

Meghan: It's coming to a theater near you.

00:16:37,702 → 00:16:37,942

All right.

00:16:37,942 → 00:16:39,232

So all of that does full damage.

00:16:39,232 → 00:16:40,862

So, uh, I'll start with the Strigoi.

00:16:40,882 → 00:16:43,312

You fire two missiles at it.

00:16:43,372 → 00:16:46,462

You see the two missiles hit it and, uh, it's knocked back a

00:16:46,462 → 00:16:48,142

little bit with the force of it.

00:16:48,202 → 00:16:51,082

Then it is able to kind of fly back to where it was, but you could

00:16:51,082 → 00:16:53,422

tell it was like, not expecting.

00:16:53,422 → 00:16:56,742

It's like when, when you see somebody, um, get shot, but wearing a bulletproof

00:16:56,742 → 00:16:58,282

vest, like you can tell it still hurts.

00:16:58,342 → 00:17:02,512

And, uh, then the missiles toward the Wraith, you see, uh, they fly up, they

00:17:02,552 → 00:17:07,432

arc up over this elevated portion of earth and they hit this Wraith as it's

00:17:07,432 → 00:17:10,822

just pulling off of the Khiron statue.

00:17:10,822 → 00:17:11,812

And it does not expect it.

00:17:11,812 → 00:17:15,692

It hits all three of them just [imitates missiles] right in the side of the Wraith.

00:17:15,712 → 00:17:17,482

You see them go straight through.

00:17:17,512 → 00:17:20,242

And now there are these holes in the Wraith and the shadow then

00:17:20,242 → 00:17:24,052

reconverges around the holes, but it looks a little stretched thin.

00:17:24,082 → 00:17:25,702

You can still kind of see through where they were.

00:17:25,762 → 00:17:31,432

And the Wraith turns its head towards you and you see in its creepy, soulless

00:17:31,432 → 00:17:33,587

eyes that it just sort of smiles.

00:17:33,637 → 00:17:33,977

Maya: Ew.

00:17:34,107 → 00:17:36,137

Kit: Esther, are you sure you wanted to get its attention?

00:17:36,197 → 00:17:37,517

This doesn't, this doesn't seem great.

00:17:38,087 → 00:17:40,677

Esther: Yes, of course I want to get that fucking thing's attention.

00:17:40,697 → 00:17:41,957

Get the fuck away from my friend!

00:17:41,957 → 00:17:43,247

Meghan: Do you want the dog to do anything?

00:17:43,907 → 00:17:45,047

Jesse: Uh, no.

00:17:45,527 → 00:17:47,087

The, the beautiful creature you mean?

00:17:47,137 → 00:17:48,867

Meghan: Oh yeah, our beautiful daughter Fink.

00:17:48,867 → 00:17:49,077

Jesse: Yeah.

00:17:50,247 → 00:17:51,267

Meghan: Fink is going to just hang.

00:17:51,267 → 00:17:52,457

Jesse: Fink's going to stay at my side.

00:17:52,517 → 00:17:55,427

Meghan: Fink takes up a protective stance in front of you.

00:17:55,457 → 00:17:56,897

She's um, she's surprised.

00:17:56,927 → 00:17:57,697

She's a guard dog.

00:17:57,837 → 00:18:00,707

Jesse: But Fink's protective stance is just like roa-- Like, losing her

00:18:00,707 → 00:18:05,117

GD mind, just like running around, like her tongue is like falling

00:18:05,117 → 00:18:07,387

out of her mouth, like saliva...

00:18:07,547 → 00:18:08,057

Meghan: Oh god.

00:18:08,117 → 00:18:11,487

Uh, it is now Noriah's turn.

00:18:11,637 → 00:18:15,317

Neda: Noriah has been hiding, kind of falling back on

00:18:15,317 → 00:18:18,137

her rogue ways of the past.

00:18:18,557 → 00:18:21,527

She was ready to attack something that's near her.

00:18:21,557 → 00:18:23,297

The bat boys have since moved.

00:18:23,597 → 00:18:30,082

So Noriah will take a bonus action dash as her cunning action and dash

00:18:30,472 → 00:18:38,182

fucking as close to between the Wraith and the big boy as I can get,

00:18:38,722 → 00:18:44,602

just going north, fucking jumping over a row of chairs, running out.

00:18:44,812 → 00:18:46,402

I want to get away from everyone.

00:18:46,432 → 00:18:50,592

I want to get between the worm boy and the Wraith.

00:18:50,842 → 00:18:51,502

Meghan: What's your movement?

00:18:51,802 → 00:18:56,482

Neda: My movement is uh, usually 25 because I am tiny, but it will be

00:18:56,482 → 00:18:59,002

50 because I'm bonus action dashing.

00:18:59,122 → 00:18:59,362

Meghan: Okay.

00:18:59,362 → 00:19:02,572

So then what I'm going to say is that I'm just going to double the movement

00:19:02,572 → 00:19:05,822

for-- I'm assuming you're sort of like, climbing up that little incline

00:19:05,822 → 00:19:07,222

instead of going around up the ramp?

00:19:07,342 → 00:19:13,132

Neda: I just want to get-- I'm assuming if I were there in person, I would kind

00:19:13,132 → 00:19:16,522

of see the shortest, easiest way to get as close to them as possible and as far

00:19:16,522 → 00:19:18,002

away from everyone else as possible.

00:19:18,082 → 00:19:18,352

Meghan: Sure.

00:19:18,352 → 00:19:22,342

So I'm going to say that you manage to run, bolt, scramble up this little

00:19:22,342 → 00:19:27,332

platform, this naturally-occurring platform, up and a few feet inwards

00:19:27,332 → 00:19:32,992

onto the platform, sort of between where the Wraith and the Remorhaz are.

00:19:33,232 → 00:19:33,862

Neda: Beautiful.

00:19:33,922 → 00:19:39,612

And as I arrive there, I will cast a second level Thunder Wave,

00:19:40,192 → 00:19:44,812

and I would like the both of them to give me a con save DC 16.

00:19:44,932 → 00:19:45,442

Meghan: Okay.

00:19:45,442 → 00:19:46,732

We can make that happen.

00:19:46,852 → 00:19:48,742

Maya: The little halfling makes big boom.

00:19:48,842 → 00:19:50,332

Neda: Little halfling makes big boom.

00:19:50,362 → 00:19:55,642

And for y'all's sake, you've probably not seen Noriah select wizardry

00:19:55,642 → 00:19:58,257

over rogue shit in combat before.

00:19:58,398 → 00:20:00,208

[sweeping music transition]

00:20:00,238 → 00:20:01,928

[falling synthesizer notes]

00:20:02,328 → 00:20:04,067

Meghan [flashback]: Alright, we have the devil.

00:20:04,247 → 00:20:06,857

Neda [flashback]: Oh god, I keep drawing major arcana, okay.

00:20:07,277 → 00:20:07,877

Meghan: I know, damn.

00:20:07,877 → 00:20:09,617

This is like a significant time for you.

00:20:09,887 → 00:20:10,997

You know what, though, the cards know.

00:20:10,997 → 00:20:12,857

Like the cards know what's narratively going to be interesting,

00:20:12,857 → 00:20:15,887

because this one is "your character engages in risky behavior".

00:20:16,037 → 00:20:19,217

That's up to you, whatever you feel comfortable with and whatever your

00:20:19,217 → 00:20:20,567

character would consider risky.

00:20:20,777 → 00:20:21,587

What are they up to?

00:20:21,587 → 00:20:22,847

What's the motivation behind it?

00:20:22,847 → 00:20:23,927

How does it affect them?

00:20:24,287 → 00:20:26,007

Neda: I think...

00:20:26,357 → 00:20:34,292

at this point, I would be like nineteen, and freshly full of magic, but also

00:20:34,292 → 00:20:35,822

just dealing with a bunch of shit.

00:20:35,882 → 00:20:40,082

And also still roguish.

00:20:40,412 → 00:20:49,682

I liked danger, and I think I spent a while doing whatever the

00:20:49,762 → 00:20:55,532

spell-casting equivalent of fight club is, just going out like to a

00:20:55,532 → 00:21:03,272

bar where I can find a hookup or someone to fucking wizard duel with.

00:21:03,632 → 00:21:09,072

I think she would go out to like whatever establishments exist in this world.

00:21:09,262 → 00:21:10,242

Taverns and shit.

00:21:10,242 → 00:21:15,827

And just, you know, play on the being tiny and being very unassuming and very

00:21:15,827 → 00:21:19,637

cute and just finding people to duel with.

00:21:19,637 → 00:21:21,717

Meghan: Sex and wizards' duels, I love it.

00:21:21,737 → 00:21:22,337

Neda: Yes.

00:21:22,637 → 00:21:23,177

Meghan: Amazing.

00:21:23,177 → 00:21:24,707

So now you get to change another adjective.

00:21:24,707 → 00:21:27,017

You can change the same one that you just did, or you can do a different one.

00:21:27,297 → 00:21:28,097

Neda: I'll do a different one.

00:21:28,547 → 00:21:34,787

I had put down withdrawn as in like, not being able to express that she cares about

00:21:34,847 → 00:21:37,037

other people, slash things, slash causes.

00:21:37,517 → 00:21:41,177

And I think I'm going to change that to...

00:21:42,707 → 00:21:43,607

"present".

00:21:44,387 → 00:21:50,597

Because I think that getting your ass kicked by magic a bunch will knock

00:21:50,597 → 00:21:52,207

some sense into you at some point.

00:21:52,207 → 00:21:54,847

[sweeping music transition]

00:21:54,877 → 00:21:56,535

[tense music resumes]

00:21:56,674 → 00:21:57,184

Meghan: Okay.

00:21:57,214 → 00:22:05,244

The Remorhaz has crit failed and the Wraith got an 11, is that going to...

00:22:05,244 → 00:22:06,074

Neda: DC 16.

00:22:06,214 → 00:22:10,174

So they're both going to take 3d8 of damage, which I'm

00:22:10,174 → 00:22:11,554

going to roll in a second.

00:22:11,554 → 00:22:12,014

They are also--

00:22:12,014 → 00:22:14,884

Meghan: It's going to be halfed for the Wraith because it's resistant.

00:22:14,904 → 00:22:15,814

Neda: Of course it is.

00:22:16,234 → 00:22:19,534

Uh, it's still going to take some damage and they are also

00:22:19,534 → 00:22:21,394

pushed 10 feet away from me.

00:22:21,784 → 00:22:27,214

I was facing them with my back completely towards everyone else.

00:22:27,244 → 00:22:31,034

So they will essentially be pushed just north.

00:22:31,414 → 00:22:32,874

[rolls] Okay.

00:22:32,874 → 00:22:38,344

And they're going to take 16 damage, or halved, to 8--

00:22:38,364 → 00:22:38,514

Jesse: Nice.

00:22:38,514 → 00:22:39,324

Neda: --from my Thunder.

00:22:39,394 → 00:22:39,604

Meghan: Okay.

00:22:39,874 → 00:22:42,184

Neda: And then I'm just kind of stuck there because I used my bonus action

00:22:42,184 → 00:22:44,554

and now I can't go back to hiding.

00:22:44,914 → 00:22:45,484

That's my turn.

00:22:45,684 → 00:22:46,204

Maya: Good shit.

00:22:46,494 → 00:22:46,894

Neda: Thank you.

00:22:47,284 → 00:22:50,464

Maya: Did you, um, Morse code Winswip that you were leaving before you left?

00:22:50,554 → 00:22:51,424

Neda: Oh, for sure.

00:22:51,424 → 00:22:54,684

I gave you like a tap of like, I'm about to do some bullshit.

00:22:54,984 → 00:22:56,910

Maya: [laughs]

00:22:57,514 → 00:23:00,964

Neda: It's a very elaborate, like, little rhythm and then I fucking dash.

00:23:01,954 → 00:23:02,464

Meghan: All right.

00:23:02,464 → 00:23:04,474

You send this Thunder Wave.

00:23:04,624 → 00:23:08,014

Quick question: what is the range of the Thunder Wave?

00:23:08,254 → 00:23:10,744

Neda: It's a 15 foot cube originating from me.

00:23:10,864 → 00:23:11,164

Meghan: Okay.

00:23:11,164 → 00:23:14,284

So I just want to see if you would have gotten the statue in there.

00:23:14,644 → 00:23:18,094

Neda: I was hoping to, like-- I would have positioned myself where

00:23:18,484 → 00:23:21,139

I'm excluding it on a corner.

00:23:21,379 → 00:23:22,939

Meghan: I'm going to say that you managed to, yeah.

00:23:22,969 → 00:23:25,009

I'm going to say that you managed to exclude the statue because it

00:23:25,009 → 00:23:27,229

is like just over 15 feet from you.

00:23:27,229 → 00:23:28,309

And I'm not just fudging that.

00:23:28,309 → 00:23:29,989

Like I just looked at my little map.

00:23:30,019 → 00:23:30,469

Neda: Beautiful.

00:23:30,559 → 00:23:33,709

Meghan: So you managed to miss the statue, you Thunder Wave...

00:23:33,709 → 00:23:36,319

What does it look like slash sound like when you Thunder Wave?

00:23:36,659 → 00:23:37,089

Neda: It's just,

00:23:37,089 → 00:23:37,999

[thunderous rumbling]

00:23:37,999 → 00:23:42,769

Neda: it's such a deep, deep sound before thunder breaks and actual

00:23:42,769 → 00:23:45,199

like nature is just a rumbling.

00:23:45,769 → 00:23:51,679

And I don't think it's as much of a visual thing as it is-- Where they

00:23:51,679 → 00:23:57,019

are, it just quivers a little bit, like ground on a hot summer's day.

00:23:57,019 → 00:23:59,529

It vibrates and then they're hurt.

00:23:59,659 → 00:24:00,169

Meghan: Oh yeah.

00:24:00,199 → 00:24:04,759

So we see with the Wraith, it is almost like a sonic boom of

00:24:04,759 → 00:24:06,709

energy just pushing it back.

00:24:06,889 → 00:24:09,559

And you see some of its wisps of shadow dissipate, but not

00:24:09,559 → 00:24:10,789

being in contact with the ground.

00:24:10,789 → 00:24:16,759

It's not fully affected, but the Remorhaz being still sort of half

00:24:16,819 → 00:24:21,469

underground, half above ground and a very noise-sensitive creature-- as we all

00:24:21,469 → 00:24:25,849

know, that's sort of how it navigates-- you see it just absolutely go berserk.

00:24:25,959 → 00:24:29,539

Uh, it takes-- it has these little spindly arms and it kind of, you can see it

00:24:29,569 → 00:24:33,469

trying to cover its like, weird little ear holes, that you now realize are ear

00:24:33,469 → 00:24:34,699

holes now that it's trying to cover it.

00:24:34,729 → 00:24:35,749

It is screaming.

00:24:35,749 → 00:24:39,349

It does not like it as like nails on a chalkboard, or for my fellow

00:24:39,349 → 00:24:42,619

misophoniacs out there, it's like somebody just ate an apple in its ear.

00:24:42,779 → 00:24:43,969

Does not seem happy.

00:24:44,329 → 00:24:47,909

You see it actually with its little, scratchy, insect claws

00:24:47,909 → 00:24:51,409

start scratching at where its ears are until it like draws blood.

00:24:51,859 → 00:24:54,459

And that is, that is, that is what you see from that.

00:24:54,459 → 00:24:54,969

Maya: Oh dang.

00:24:55,369 → 00:24:55,999

Neda: Oh God.

00:24:56,764 → 00:24:57,334

Jesse: No, no, no.

00:24:57,724 → 00:24:58,764

Don't think it's cute.

00:24:58,894 → 00:24:59,314

Phil: More of that!

00:24:59,314 → 00:24:59,774

Jesse: It's evil.

00:24:59,844 → 00:25:00,874

Maya: You messed it up.

00:25:00,904 → 00:25:01,594

Jamie: Fuck.

00:25:01,754 → 00:25:02,464

Meghan: Is that your turn?

00:25:02,494 → 00:25:03,364

Neda: That is my turn.

00:25:03,364 → 00:25:03,784

Thank you.

00:25:03,874 → 00:25:04,234

Meghan: Okay.

00:25:04,234 → 00:25:05,014

It's now Kit's turn.

00:25:05,134 → 00:25:05,584

Phil: Okay.

00:25:05,644 → 00:25:10,754

Just to be clear, the sitch is there is one Strigoi, who has

00:25:10,754 → 00:25:14,794

disengaged, but it's still kind of close to where Esther and I are.

00:25:14,904 → 00:25:14,994

Meghan: Mmhmm.

00:25:15,094 → 00:25:18,004

Phil: Uh, and the other two are actually also kind of close to us, right?

00:25:18,064 → 00:25:18,454

Meghan: Yeah.

00:25:18,454 → 00:25:21,454

They're currently-- The one is engaged with Esther.

00:25:21,454 → 00:25:25,784

The one that is, yeah, there-- It's-- From right to left, it's like Kit,

00:25:25,804 → 00:25:30,914

Esther, Avilene, Winswip, and the Strigoi are on Esther, Avilene, and Winswip.

00:25:30,934 → 00:25:32,774

So there's kind of three in a row.

00:25:32,954 → 00:25:35,944

The furthest away one is like 30 feet from you and the closest one

00:25:35,944 → 00:25:37,924

is probably like 5 to 10 feet away.

00:25:37,954 → 00:25:42,004

Phil: So first I'm going to put my sling away and as a free action, like

00:25:42,004 → 00:25:45,154

take out my other, uh, eskrima stick.

00:25:45,364 → 00:25:47,164

So I have both of them out.

00:25:47,254 → 00:25:51,394

And then I'm going to move to the Strigoi that is closest to me.

00:25:51,784 → 00:25:55,324

And I'm going to take an attack with like both of them at the same time.

00:25:55,444 → 00:26:00,214

So this is sort of like versatile, two-handed, both clubs going in.

00:26:00,304 → 00:26:04,834

So it's like a quarter staff, except I have it in two hands separately.

00:26:05,334 → 00:26:06,684

Meghan: So two eighth staffs.

00:26:06,800 → 00:26:08,840

All: [laughter]

00:26:08,890 → 00:26:09,150

Jesse: Woof.

00:26:09,950 → 00:26:10,390

Woof.

00:26:10,390 → 00:26:12,514

Meghan: Cute little fractions joke for everyone.

00:26:12,544 → 00:26:15,154

Do you love the amount of basic math I've worked into this today?

00:26:15,814 → 00:26:16,254

Hypotenuse...

00:26:16,274 → 00:26:19,144

If anybody's studying for a math exam, you're welcome.

00:26:19,864 → 00:26:20,134

Phil: Okay.

00:26:20,134 → 00:26:21,694

First one does not hit.

00:26:21,694 → 00:26:22,774

That was a 10.

00:26:22,984 → 00:26:27,844

Um, I'm going to do that again, and that was a 16 to hit.

00:26:28,144 → 00:26:28,684

Meghan: That's going to hit.

00:26:28,924 → 00:26:29,254

Phil: Okay.

00:26:29,254 → 00:26:32,794

So, uh, that is 6 damage.

00:26:33,064 → 00:26:33,604

Meghan: Okay.

00:26:34,144 → 00:26:39,784

Phil: And I kind of yell at Avilene and Winswip and Esther.

00:26:39,784 → 00:26:40,144

And I say,

00:26:40,174 → 00:26:46,464

Kit: If, if these, uh, Strigoi get more grouped up, can one of you, uh, take--

00:26:47,314 → 00:26:49,129

hit-- a bunch of them at the same time?

00:26:49,399 → 00:26:50,629

Is that something any of you can do?

00:26:50,909 → 00:26:52,489

Jamie: That's what I was going to try to do.

00:26:52,799 → 00:26:53,109

Phil: Okay.

00:26:53,259 → 00:26:54,009

So, um--

00:26:54,009 → 00:26:57,049

Jamie: If you can bunch them up for me, I can pull something out of my sleeve.

00:26:57,229 → 00:26:57,559

Phil: Yeah.

00:26:57,589 → 00:27:01,819

So, uh, since I hit on that, and that's bludgeoning damage and I have the crusher

00:27:01,819 → 00:27:07,519

feat, as I hit it, I move it five feet diagonally towards where Avilene is,

00:27:07,639 → 00:27:09,499

or where the Strigoi near Aveline is.

00:27:09,715 → 00:27:10,009

Meghan: Hell yeah.

00:27:10,009 → 00:27:11,239

It's like martial arts baseball.

00:27:11,399 → 00:27:11,969

Home run.

00:27:12,849 → 00:27:13,929

Your aim is incredible.

00:27:13,929 → 00:27:18,489

And this thing is both bludgeoned and it is pushed towards Avilene.

00:27:18,879 → 00:27:21,279

It is now Porla's turn.

00:27:21,629 → 00:27:27,519

Porla had previously been kind of cowering behind a bush,

00:27:27,549 → 00:27:30,219

tree, situation with Khabriel.

00:27:30,489 → 00:27:33,819

You see Porla, first of all, watch everything that's going

00:27:33,819 → 00:27:36,249

down with the Khiron statue.

00:27:36,519 → 00:27:39,969

She looks distraught and she-- You can clearly hear her say,

00:27:39,999 → 00:27:40,929

Porla: I'm not doing this again.

00:27:40,929 → 00:27:41,439

Not again.

00:27:41,919 → 00:27:46,719

Meghan: And she pushes her way past Khabriel, who sort of almost falters in

00:27:46,719 → 00:27:52,959

his magic, but manages to keep it going, and Porla sprints up towards the statue,

00:27:52,989 → 00:27:57,379

which-- Noriah, which way did you say you pushed the Remorhaz, just like away?

00:27:57,579 → 00:27:59,529

Neda: Away, like north, like up.

00:27:59,829 → 00:28:00,189

Meghan: Okay.

00:28:00,219 → 00:28:06,489

You see Porla put a hand on the statue as if to steady it, and then you see her turn

00:28:06,489 → 00:28:12,964

her attention towards the Remorhaz, and she is going to cast Blindness Deafness.

00:28:12,994 → 00:28:18,574

You see her take from under her sort of ceremonial garb a necklace that

00:28:18,574 → 00:28:19,624

she's pulled out from her shirt.

00:28:19,804 → 00:28:24,634

And you recognize this as the spell-casting focus that she's

00:28:24,634 → 00:28:28,804

used when you knew her, which is a feather in a little glass vial,

00:28:28,864 → 00:28:31,204

just supposedly like an Axiom Relic.

00:28:31,324 → 00:28:40,444

And she holds it out towards the Remorhaz and she murmurs a sacred word,

00:28:40,444 → 00:28:45,774

and you see this golden light emanate out from it and strike the Remorhaz.

00:28:46,024 → 00:28:48,124

And it has to make a constitution save.

00:28:48,254 → 00:28:49,134

Winswip: Go Porla!

00:28:49,654 → 00:28:52,544

I don't know what you're doing, but it looks shiny and great.

00:28:53,140 → 00:28:57,439

Meghan: [rolls] Uh, it definitely fails the constitution save and it is now

00:28:57,439 → 00:28:59,629

blinded, which means that it can't see.

00:28:59,629 → 00:29:02,779

It automatically fails any ability check that requires sight, and attack

00:29:02,779 → 00:29:07,129

rolls against it have advantage, and the creature's attack rolls have disadvantage.

00:29:07,489 → 00:29:12,109

So in addition to clawing out its little ear holes, uh, you see this golden light

00:29:12,139 → 00:29:18,469

kind of strike it in the eyes, and its beady insectoid eyes get very swollen

00:29:18,469 → 00:29:21,029

and shut in like a crusty, nasty way.

00:29:21,599 → 00:29:23,299

Maya: It's not having a good day.

00:29:23,419 → 00:29:24,499

Meghan: No, it is not.

00:29:24,799 → 00:29:27,049

So that is Porla's turn.

00:29:27,049 → 00:29:30,919

So now she's, uh, she's cowering behind this statue, but also fighting back and

00:29:30,919 → 00:29:32,209

has a protective hand on the statue.

00:29:32,299 → 00:29:33,679

Um, it is now Aveline's turn.

00:29:33,895 → 00:29:34,309

Jamie: Okay.

00:29:34,339 → 00:29:42,079

So there is one Strigoi hovering menacingly in front of me and the

00:29:42,079 → 00:29:45,559

other one that Kit shoved towards me.

00:29:45,829 → 00:29:48,559

Are they within five feet of each other?

00:29:48,739 → 00:29:49,129

Meghan: Yes.

00:29:49,429 → 00:29:49,819

Jamie: Okay.

00:29:50,059 → 00:29:54,079

Have these Strigoi-- They've both been hit before, right?

00:29:54,379 → 00:29:57,069

Are they looking a little bit worse for wear?

00:29:57,319 → 00:29:58,039

Can, yeah, can I make a--

00:29:58,039 → 00:29:59,059

Meghan: Give me a perception check.

00:29:59,389 → 00:30:00,859

I know I've already asked you to do that today, but this

00:30:00,859 → 00:30:01,549

is about a different thing.

00:30:01,549 → 00:30:02,989

So I'll say make another one.

00:30:02,989 → 00:30:05,119

Jamie: That's a, that's a nat 19.

00:30:05,119 → 00:30:06,329

So that's a 26.

00:30:07,029 → 00:30:07,659

Maya: Ooh.

00:30:07,659 → 00:30:08,509

Phil: Nice.

00:30:08,959 → 00:30:12,979

Meghan: What you notice is that they do not appear to be as beaten

00:30:12,979 → 00:30:15,859

up as they should be, considering everything that has happened to them.

00:30:16,129 → 00:30:16,609

Jamie: Okay.

00:30:16,849 → 00:30:19,129

Meghan: And that they don't even look as-- Some-- In some cases

00:30:19,129 → 00:30:22,039

they don't necessarily look as beaten up as they did a second ago.

00:30:22,309 → 00:30:25,489

Like the wounds are not consistent with what you had noticed

00:30:25,519 → 00:30:26,689

just previously in the battle.

00:30:27,169 → 00:30:27,679

Jamie: Fuck.

00:30:27,769 → 00:30:28,399

Maya: Well, that's not good.

00:30:28,999 → 00:30:30,019

Jamie: That's not good.

00:30:30,109 → 00:30:33,859

I'm going to cost a second level Moonbeam.

00:30:33,919 → 00:30:40,999

So they both need to make a DC 16 con save.

00:30:41,149 → 00:30:41,569

Meghan: Okay.

00:30:41,979 → 00:30:49,564

Jamie: And if they fail when they enter the spell's area, which I guess counts

00:30:49,564 → 00:30:53,377

as when I hit them with it, or they stop their turn there, they are...

00:30:53,734 → 00:30:56,074

[rolls] They take radiant damage.

00:30:56,204 → 00:30:58,084

Meghan: And you said-- So DC 16, you said?

00:30:58,174 → 00:31:01,354

And you're getting the two closest to you, or all three of them?

00:31:01,414 → 00:31:06,844

Jamie: It's a five-foot radius, so if all three of them are within, like in a

00:31:07,144 → 00:31:11,244

10 foot line, I could hit three of them, but definitely the two closest to me.

00:31:11,524 → 00:31:13,864

Meghan: I think the one that's attacking Winswip is a little bit

00:31:13,864 → 00:31:16,174

too far away, but the two-- The one that's been batted over to you and the

00:31:16,174 → 00:31:19,584

one that was attacking you are both within the range that-- They all fail.

00:31:20,114 → 00:31:20,944

Jamie: Fantastic.

00:31:21,259 → 00:31:23,689

They're both going to take 12 radiant damage.

00:31:24,429 → 00:31:25,409

Maya: Good shit, good shit.

00:31:25,429 → 00:31:27,319

Phil: And they take it again when they start their turn.

00:31:27,379 → 00:31:28,549

Maya: If they stay in the Moonbeam.

00:31:28,699 → 00:31:28,939

Jamie: Yeah.

00:31:28,939 → 00:31:31,249

If they start their turn in the Moonbeam, they take damage again.

00:31:31,359 → 00:31:32,189

Phil: Moonbeam is great.

00:31:32,189 → 00:31:32,909

Maya: Yeah, I agree.

00:31:32,999 → 00:31:33,409

Meghan: Hell yeah.

00:31:33,499 → 00:31:35,809

Moonbeam is the MVP of druid spells.

00:31:36,019 → 00:31:36,409

All right.

00:31:36,409 → 00:31:36,829

Awesome.

00:31:36,829 → 00:31:38,029

Is there anything else you want to do on your turn?

00:31:38,359 → 00:31:40,819

Jamie: Yeah, I am also going to...

00:31:41,059 → 00:31:44,599

I know that the Wraith was resistant to fire damage.

00:31:44,659 → 00:31:50,539

Um, but I'm also going to command Addie to do her flame seed attack, um, and she goes

00:31:50,539 → 00:31:52,309

directly after me in the initiative order.

00:31:52,669 → 00:31:55,129

So she is going--

00:31:55,219 → 00:31:56,779

Meghan: And that command is a bonus action, right?

00:31:56,809 → 00:31:57,229

Jamie: Yeah.

00:31:57,529 → 00:32:02,929

So that is a 24 to hit, let's say, the Strigoi closest to me.

00:32:03,139 → 00:32:03,749

Meghan: That's going to hit.

00:32:04,039 → 00:32:07,039

Jamie: It takes 7 fire damage.

00:32:07,429 → 00:32:07,759

Meghan: Okay.

00:32:07,759 → 00:32:09,139

Here is what happens.

00:32:09,699 → 00:32:12,019

Avilene, you summon this Moonbeam

00:32:12,019 → 00:32:12,789

[silvery beam sounds]

00:32:12,809 → 00:32:17,719

Meghan: and it gets these two Strigoi, and you see them almost as in silhouette

00:32:17,809 → 00:32:20,464

through this like, blinding moonlight.

00:32:20,674 → 00:32:25,084

And you see the silhouette of the one that started near to you-- not

00:32:25,084 → 00:32:28,234

the one that Kit batted over, but the one that started nearer to you-- it

00:32:28,414 → 00:32:30,964

starts kind of drawing into itself.

00:32:30,994 → 00:32:34,954

And you can tell that it's losing its ability to stay in the air.

00:32:35,134 → 00:32:40,114

And Addie, seeing that, smartly aims her flame seed, which-- What does

00:32:40,114 → 00:32:41,794

that look like when she spits fire?

00:32:42,154 → 00:32:42,974

Maya: Be careful now.

00:32:43,100 → 00:32:45,204

All: [laughter]

00:32:45,274 → 00:32:47,974

Meghan: She drops some sick bars and just fucking bodies

00:32:47,974 → 00:32:49,864

the enemy with her cool raps.

00:32:51,844 → 00:32:56,734

Jamie: Um, I want to make sure I'm not like stealing Pokemon's intellectual

00:32:56,734 → 00:32:59,044

property here, but I am just imagining--

00:32:59,074 → 00:33:01,914

Meghan: At this point we are all Pokemon's intellectual property.

00:33:01,934 → 00:33:03,057

All: [laughter]

00:33:03,924 → 00:33:07,714

Jamie: I know she-- I know I said that she used it last episode and I don't

00:33:07,714 → 00:33:09,574

remember if I said what it looks like.

00:33:09,574 → 00:33:15,504

So I think she kind of just like, coughs it up, like when a llama or a camel, like,

00:33:15,874 → 00:33:20,029

spit up their sort of gross phlegm stuff.

00:33:20,059 → 00:33:23,849

But instead of like gross llama phlegm, it's just fire.

00:33:24,779 → 00:33:26,099

Maya: Fire phlegm, love it.

00:33:26,099 → 00:33:29,869

Meghan: So she, she hocks a fire loogie and she spits it right

00:33:29,869 → 00:33:33,199

at this one that looks like it's really on its last, uh, wings.

00:33:33,439 → 00:33:38,389

And you see the moat of fire go into the Moonbeam and you don't see

00:33:38,389 → 00:33:40,879

anything after that because light on light, it's hard to perceive.

00:33:40,879 → 00:33:47,629

What you do see is this struggling Strigoi just go still and fall to the ground.

00:33:47,839 → 00:33:53,239

And then you see the other Strigoi that is in this Moonbeam see this,

00:33:53,269 → 00:33:55,219

you see it sort of perceive this.

00:33:55,369 → 00:33:58,849

And then you see it immediately-- and again, you're seeing all this in

00:33:58,849 → 00:34:04,409

silhouette-- it rears its head back and you see its proboscis start pulsating.

00:34:04,834 → 00:34:08,524

And it looks like, eventually, like something's emerging from it and like

00:34:08,524 → 00:34:09,964

it's pushing something out of it.

00:34:10,144 → 00:34:15,994

And you see the silhouette of another proboscis emerge and then another head,

00:34:16,024 → 00:34:21,514

and you realize that it is producing a little Stirge out of its proboscis,

00:34:21,664 → 00:34:23,294

giving-- It is birthing a Stirge--

00:34:23,404 → 00:34:24,144

Maya: No, no, no.

00:34:24,174 → 00:34:25,007

Meghan: --out of its proboscis.

00:34:25,034 → 00:34:25,364

Maya: No!

00:34:25,364 → 00:34:26,224

Phil: I don't like any of this.

00:34:26,594 → 00:34:30,604

Meghan: And as you see this little, small silhouette finally emerge,

00:34:30,694 → 00:34:36,514

you see-- It almost looks like the Strigoi is talking to its new baby.

00:34:36,544 → 00:34:36,794

Jesse: Ugh.

00:34:37,364 → 00:34:42,184

Meghan: And then you see the Stirge fly out of the Moonbeam.

00:34:42,274 → 00:34:45,894

Phil: Wait, wait, wait, is this the-- This, this new Stirge, is that starting

00:34:45,964 → 00:34:47,824

entering the Moonbeam for the first time?

00:34:47,884 → 00:34:48,184

Meghan: It is.

00:34:48,184 → 00:34:49,474

I think it does probably after you--

00:34:49,504 → 00:34:51,454

Jamie: Then it's-- it's starting its turn.

00:34:51,514 → 00:34:53,414

So it, it does have to take damage.

00:34:53,417 → 00:34:54,357

Maya: It's starting its life!

00:34:54,390 → 00:34:55,407

Jesse: Its turn of life.

00:34:56,345 → 00:34:58,710

Phil: Birthed into a Moonbeam.

00:34:59,600 → 00:35:00,490

Meghan: Into a Moonbeam.

00:35:01,640 → 00:35:03,084

Maya: Welcome to life, it hurts.

00:35:03,114 → 00:35:03,344

Yeah.

00:35:05,584 → 00:35:06,224

Neda: Yeah bitch.

00:35:06,529 → 00:35:07,129

Now you get it.

00:35:07,129 → 00:35:08,659

Meghan: I have to look up the Stirge stat block.

00:35:08,689 → 00:35:09,169

Hold on.

00:35:09,439 → 00:35:11,599

Jamie: Um, it will take 11 damage.

00:35:11,869 → 00:35:15,009

Neda: Whatever its stat block is, just fucking take damage for being born.

00:35:15,249 → 00:35:16,109

Jesse: Welcome to earth.

00:35:16,129 → 00:35:18,059

Jamie: Don't we all take damage for being born?

00:35:18,059 → 00:35:18,559

Maya: Exactly.

00:35:18,589 → 00:35:19,319

Phil: It takes dis--

00:35:19,319 → 00:35:19,655

Neda: Ayyy!

00:35:19,669 → 00:35:22,259

Phil: It rolls its save with disadvantage for birth.

00:35:22,695 → 00:35:24,359

All: [laughter]

00:35:24,462 → 00:35:26,899

Meghan: I'm going to say that you see it receive this message.

00:35:26,959 → 00:35:31,489

You see it emerge then from the Moonbeam looking disgusting.

00:35:31,489 → 00:35:33,049

You have seen a Stirge before.

00:35:33,049 → 00:35:37,939

And this one has had like all of its bat fur singed off, and it's looking

00:35:37,939 → 00:35:43,459

very bloody and sick, but it manages to somehow haggardly flap its way over

00:35:43,459 → 00:35:46,489

to the one that is attacking Winswip.

00:35:46,579 → 00:35:51,409

And Winswip, you have this up close and personal view of this tiny

00:35:51,449 → 00:35:53,389

Strigoi, which is more of a bat size.

00:35:53,509 → 00:35:57,469

It says, in little burnt dying bat language like, [imitates

00:35:57,469 → 00:35:57,969

high-pitched burbling].

00:35:58,189 → 00:36:04,279

You see the w-- The Strigoi that's still in the Moonbeam dive down

00:36:04,279 → 00:36:08,929

to the deceased one, start to drag it out of the Moonbeam painfully.

00:36:09,259 → 00:36:10,069

You see them emerge.

00:36:10,819 → 00:36:15,739

And like the baby Stirge, the living Strigoi who was dragging the corpse

00:36:15,859 → 00:36:21,019

of its brother, is, uh, very singed, kind of hairless, very burnt.

00:36:21,649 → 00:36:25,939

And you see the Stirge-- the baby Stirge-- that has gone over to

00:36:25,939 → 00:36:31,939

communicate with Winswip's Strigoi part and go back to its wounded comrades.

00:36:31,939 → 00:36:36,109

And the three of them struggle to fly off the way they came.

00:36:36,109 → 00:36:38,749

And Winswip, yours is still on you.

00:36:38,959 → 00:36:39,619

Maya: I get my own.

00:36:39,619 → 00:36:40,759

I get my very own.

00:36:41,029 → 00:36:41,869

Meghan: You get your very own.

00:36:41,869 → 00:36:44,749

And now it's, it's, it's, you know, it's bonded with you.

00:36:45,409 → 00:36:46,959

Uh, it is now the Remorhaz's turn.

00:36:46,989 → 00:36:48,619

The Remorhaz has been blinded.

00:36:48,619 → 00:36:50,179

It is trying to deafen itself.

00:36:50,179 → 00:36:51,259

It is very disoriented.

00:36:51,289 → 00:36:54,349

And I think it's gonna just kind of lash out at whatever is closest to

00:36:54,349 → 00:36:56,419

it, which I believe would be Noriah.

00:36:56,659 → 00:36:57,079

Neda: Shit.

00:36:57,259 → 00:36:58,099

Jamie: Or Porla.

00:36:58,219 → 00:36:59,689

Did Porla get closer?

00:36:59,929 → 00:37:00,979

Meghan: Porla's further away.

00:37:01,159 → 00:37:03,169

Maya: And how far is Noriah from Winswip right now?

00:37:03,709 → 00:37:05,299

You, you were like 50 feet, right?

00:37:05,809 → 00:37:06,109

Neda: Yeah.

00:37:06,109 → 00:37:06,889

I dashed.

00:37:07,159 → 00:37:08,219

Meghan: At least 50 feet.

00:37:08,309 → 00:37:08,499

Maya: Okay.

00:37:09,169 → 00:37:11,434

Neda: I wanted to get you all like out of my range.

00:37:12,454 → 00:37:19,004

Meghan: It's going to snap its massive jaws and it is going to-- Oof, it's going

00:37:19,024 → 00:37:23,954

to hit Noriah, it rolled a 17 and has +6.

00:37:23,974 → 00:37:28,614

All right, it's going to be 20 piercing damage with its teeth--

00:37:28,614 → 00:37:29,204

Neda: Yikes.

00:37:29,204 → 00:37:31,724

Meghan: --7 fire damage from coming--

00:37:31,724 → 00:37:31,984

Neda: Meghan--

00:37:31,984 → 00:37:33,394

Meghan: --in contact with its hot body.

00:37:34,114 → 00:37:34,684

Neda: I'm down.

00:37:34,684 → 00:37:36,244

I had 27 hit points.

00:37:36,274 → 00:37:37,114

Jamie: No!

00:37:37,294 → 00:37:38,894

Neda: You just managed to get me hit.

00:37:38,914 → 00:37:40,084

Phil: Oh god.

00:37:40,534 → 00:37:43,894

Maya: You, you killed her with that hot body.

00:37:43,924 → 00:37:44,554

That's just--

00:37:44,954 → 00:37:46,534

Meghan: There are worse ways to go.

00:37:47,104 → 00:37:48,264

Neda: Honestly, I put myself there.

00:37:48,294 → 00:37:49,054

I'm at peace with it.

00:37:49,324 → 00:37:49,594

Meghan: Yeah.

00:37:49,594 → 00:37:54,334

So you feel its jaws snap down on you and there-- and it's just the heat of

00:37:54,334 → 00:37:58,774

it from being in the hot underground, compared with this like chilly atmosphere.

00:37:58,774 → 00:38:00,214

It just overwhelms you.

00:38:00,684 → 00:38:01,564

Neda: I'm very much down.

00:38:01,654 → 00:38:01,864

Meghan: Yeah.

00:38:01,864 → 00:38:06,424

You all-- if you are, you are looking, you would see, uh, the massive toothy

00:38:06,424 → 00:38:11,974

maw take a crunch onto this tiny figure of Noriah, and Noriah hit the snow.

00:38:12,154 → 00:38:14,164

It is now Brekx's turn.

00:38:14,474 → 00:38:19,564

Brekx is go-- is still in a rage and is going to see this happen and

00:38:19,594 → 00:38:22,514

run up to where the Remorhaz is.

00:38:22,904 → 00:38:24,224

Maya: It's going to get even ragier!

00:38:24,524 → 00:38:25,404

Double rage.

00:38:26,064 → 00:38:26,414

Jesse: This time--

00:38:26,414 → 00:38:27,824

Meghan: Rage 2: The Streets.

00:38:27,824 → 00:38:28,334

Jesse: --it's personal.

00:38:28,334 → 00:38:30,984

Neda: It's The Fast and The Furious, but no one's fast, they're all just furious.

00:38:31,614 → 00:38:32,374

Maya: Yeah, exactly.

00:38:32,774 → 00:38:33,814

Jesse: Famously slow.

00:38:33,974 → 00:38:39,849

Meghan: You see Brekx run up to it and right where it's got Noriah in its jaws.

00:38:39,949 → 00:38:44,359

It doesn't see Brekx coming and Brekx is going to make two attacks with,

00:38:44,599 → 00:38:46,939

uh, Bedlam, the magical chaos sword.

00:38:46,999 → 00:38:50,949

These are going to have advantage because the Remorhaz is blind.

00:38:51,219 → 00:38:54,639

So the first one is-- I think it's going to hit.

00:38:54,949 → 00:38:55,669

Yeah.

00:38:56,119 → 00:38:59,149

And the second one is also going to hit.

00:38:59,149 → 00:39:05,149

So you see Brekx make two swipes with this sort of chaotic, black greatsword and--

00:39:05,339 → 00:39:06,019

Maya: Get 'em, Brekx.

00:39:07,069 → 00:39:10,879

Meghan: It is going to be a total of 22 magical slashing

00:39:10,879 → 00:39:12,919

damage to this young Remorhaz.

00:39:12,919 → 00:39:13,489

Maya: Hell yeah.

00:39:13,969 → 00:39:17,419

Phil: And Brekx's-- it still has the greatsword form?

00:39:17,479 → 00:39:19,309

Like it didn't change again?

00:39:19,939 → 00:39:20,539

Meghan: Right, yeah.

00:39:20,539 → 00:39:23,209

It changes, uh, when Brekx goes into a rage, and then it stays

00:39:23,209 → 00:39:25,549

that way until the next rage.

00:39:25,859 → 00:39:30,349

Brekx is also going to do Fury of the Small to deal 5 extra damage.

00:39:30,349 → 00:39:31,099

Jamie: Yes!

00:39:31,099 → 00:39:32,159

Jesse: Nice.

00:39:32,479 → 00:39:34,519

Meghan: So that's a total of 27 slashing damage.

00:39:34,519 → 00:39:38,329

You see them go absolutely apeshit on this thing, and barely notice

00:39:38,339 → 00:39:42,229

that they, too, are a little bit singed from being so close to this

00:39:42,469 → 00:39:44,299

steam and smoke and hot thing.

00:39:44,299 → 00:39:47,089

I really wish I could-- I wish I could find a way to make it

00:39:47,089 → 00:39:50,359

sound like it's not just like so sexy that it's just devastating.

00:39:50,359 → 00:39:53,389

Maya: You do say that everything in your campaign is canon hot.

00:39:53,389 → 00:39:54,609

So I mean now--

00:39:54,749 → 00:39:54,909

Meghan: Yes.

00:39:54,909 → 00:39:57,059

Maya: --I'm just picturing a sexy Remorhaz.

00:39:57,139 → 00:39:57,619

Meghan: Well, you know what?

00:39:57,649 → 00:40:01,729

No offense, if that's what you're into, dear listener, we're all

00:40:01,729 → 00:40:03,229

entitled to our fantasies, I guess.

00:40:03,319 → 00:40:06,049

So Brekx's hands get a little bit burnt just from being in the heat

00:40:06,049 → 00:40:12,499

aura, but that is a whopping 27 damage and it is now Khabriel's turn.

00:40:12,899 → 00:40:15,049

Khabriel is going to--

00:40:15,455 → 00:40:17,449

Aveline: Khabriel, finish your poem!

00:40:17,449 → 00:40:19,669

It's the only way to finish off this thing!

00:40:20,439 → 00:40:22,419

Maya: What rhymes with girl?

00:40:22,579 → 00:40:24,199

Phil: [imitating Khabriel] I can't think of anything!

00:40:24,322 → 00:40:26,059

Maya: [laughs]

00:40:26,189 → 00:40:26,499

Meghan: Okay.

00:40:26,529 → 00:40:33,229

So Khabriel on his turn is going to, first of all, sprint over to where

00:40:33,229 → 00:40:38,119

Noriah lies fallen in the snow, and crouch down and touch her forehead

00:40:38,119 → 00:40:44,419

and cast Cure Wounds at a-- We're going to do a third level Cure Wounds.

00:40:44,479 → 00:40:47,299

And so that's going to be, uh, 13 hit points.

00:40:47,389 → 00:40:51,269

And Khabriel-- As he crouches down and touches your head, you just

00:40:51,289 → 00:40:53,599

hear with this like absolutely beautiful singing voice like,

00:40:53,599 → 00:40:54,179

[angelic harp music]

00:40:54,179 → 00:40:58,279

Khabriel: [singing] Come back to me, beautiful Noriah.

00:40:58,279 → 00:40:59,419

Noriah: Please stop singing.

00:40:59,959 → 00:41:01,279

Thank you, but please stop singing.

00:41:01,339 → 00:41:01,609

Khabriel: Okay.

00:41:01,609 → 00:41:02,029

You're awake.

00:41:02,059 → 00:41:02,509

Excellent.

00:41:02,689 → 00:41:05,539

Meghan: And then he's going to turn his attention to the statue.

00:41:05,539 → 00:41:08,269

And as a bonus action, you hear him say,

00:41:08,389 → 00:41:10,339

Khabriel: Okay, statue sister, this is weird.

00:41:10,519 → 00:41:11,539

Can you give us a little help here?

00:41:11,689 → 00:41:15,259

Meghan: And the statue floats over to the Remorhaz and it's going to attack.

00:41:15,469 → 00:41:16,849

Uh, that is going to hit.

00:41:17,149 → 00:41:17,389

Okay.

00:41:17,389 → 00:41:20,269

So you see this, this marble sort-- It's still moving a little bit slowly,

00:41:20,269 → 00:41:23,509

like as though the air was water, but it does bring it down on this Remorhaz,

00:41:23,529 → 00:41:28,669

who still can't see a damn thing, and manages to strike it for 7 damage.

00:41:28,699 → 00:41:29,179

Maya: Good shit.

00:41:29,239 → 00:41:29,509

Meghan: All right.

00:41:29,959 → 00:41:31,669

We are now back at the top of the order.

00:41:32,029 → 00:41:33,289

It is the Wraith's turn.

00:41:33,589 → 00:41:40,609

The Wraith is going to make its way back and go for Khabriel at this point,

00:41:40,609 → 00:41:45,439

having seen that he's the one who seems to be controlling things and healing

00:41:45,439 → 00:41:49,519

people, and is going to attempt to do a good old Life Drain on Khabriel.

00:41:49,519 → 00:41:51,389

Maya: How far is Khabriel from Winswip?

00:41:51,409 → 00:41:52,329

Meghan: Crouching down next to Noriah.

00:41:52,519 → 00:41:53,539

So they're all kind of--

00:41:53,599 → 00:41:55,339

Maya: So like 50, 40, 50 feet.

00:41:55,579 → 00:41:55,879

Meghan: At least.

00:41:55,889 → 00:41:56,149

Yeah.

00:41:56,779 → 00:41:57,169

Okay.

00:41:57,439 → 00:42:05,669

Um, that's going to hit, and so it's going to be 21 necrotic damage to Khabriel.

00:42:05,869 → 00:42:06,729

Neda: Jesus.

00:42:07,129 → 00:42:10,669

Meghan: You see it latch on and start sucking the life out of Khabriel, which

00:42:10,809 → 00:42:13,969

is, is the first living being that you've seen being preyed upon in this way.

00:42:13,969 → 00:42:17,179

So you see it's, it's a little bit more graphic when it's, when it's a person.

00:42:17,179 → 00:42:20,149

And you can kind of see the shadows from the Wraith start to like

00:42:20,149 → 00:42:20,679

[Wraith sucking sounds]

00:42:20,679 → 00:42:25,309

Meghan: move within Khabriel, under his skin, and his eyes go super wide

00:42:25,309 → 00:42:26,629

and it's just really terrifying.

00:42:26,839 → 00:42:33,459

So Khabriel has now been sucked and, uh, the Wraith is temporarily sated.

00:42:33,479 → 00:42:34,929

It is now Winswip's turn.

00:42:34,979 → 00:42:39,389

Maya: Still has a big old proboscis-- Is it attached to her still?

00:42:39,629 → 00:42:44,389

If I were to do something like a disengage or to move away, would,

00:42:44,389 → 00:42:47,879

would she be successful at doing that or would it come with her?

00:42:48,063 → 00:42:50,639

Meghan: I think that we could say that a disengage would just be,

00:42:50,639 → 00:42:51,719

you like yanking it out of you.

00:42:51,899 → 00:42:52,259

Maya: Okay.

00:42:52,499 → 00:42:59,819

So what she is going to do is cast Zephyr Strike, which is a bonus action

00:42:59,819 → 00:43:05,669

spell, which allows her to move like the wind and it lasts for a minute.

00:43:05,939 → 00:43:10,259

And until it ends, her movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks.

00:43:10,859 → 00:43:11,909

Jesse: Oh cool.

00:43:12,359 → 00:43:16,949

Maya: And there's, there's more to it, but for now I think that's the important part.

00:43:17,039 → 00:43:21,454

So as an air genasi, or part air genasi, Winswip normally kind of

00:43:21,454 → 00:43:24,934

has a little bit of breeze dancing around her hair at all times.

00:43:24,964 → 00:43:28,924

And that suddenly like kicks up and becomes really, really dramatic.

00:43:28,984 → 00:43:34,954

And, um, she kind of like manages to twist away in this kind of burst of whirlwind.

00:43:34,984 → 00:43:38,224

Just sort of would knock back the creature that is attached to her.

00:43:38,224 → 00:43:42,814

And, uh, just kind of allows her to move a few feet back and not

00:43:42,814 → 00:43:44,194

provoke an opportunity attack.

00:43:44,344 → 00:43:47,464

Meghan: So you yank this thing out of you like an angry patient who

00:43:47,464 → 00:43:50,274

doesn't want to be in the hospital anymore and just whips their IV out.

00:43:50,314 → 00:43:51,577

[ All: laughter]

00:43:51,664 → 00:43:56,014

Meghan: And you, you Tasmanian devil away, I'm assuming towards the platform face?

00:43:56,284 → 00:43:58,834

Maya: I'm trying to figure out if she can get to anything

00:43:59,014 → 00:44:01,984

with her normal walking speed.

00:44:02,374 → 00:44:03,394

Meghan: What's your normal walking speed?

00:44:03,484 → 00:44:09,454

Maya: Uh, so it feels a little ridiculous, but she-- 25 feet, um, as a gnome.

00:44:09,624 → 00:44:15,898

And it doesn't seem to, uh, get better as a big-- big gnome so...

00:44:15,906 → 00:44:16,625

[laughs]

00:44:17,064 → 00:44:18,154

Jesse: Big gnome, same steps.

00:44:18,207 → 00:44:21,515

Phil: Just still like, like stubby feet, stubby legs.

00:44:21,515 → 00:44:22,195

Maya: [laughing] I guess.

00:44:22,235 → 00:44:23,689

Meghan: So here's what I'll say.

00:44:24,319 → 00:44:28,519

I've been calculating it so that climbing this little tiny-- I mean,

00:44:28,519 → 00:44:31,309

it's not a cliff face, it's like, you know, 10 feet tall or whatever,

00:44:31,339 → 00:44:32,719

but climbing that is double movement.

00:44:32,719 → 00:44:37,819

And so you could make it like halfway up it on your turn, or you could decide

00:44:37,819 → 00:44:41,059

that you don't want to end your turn mid-climb and it's-- That's up to you.

00:44:41,239 → 00:44:41,509

Maya: Okay.

00:44:41,509 → 00:44:42,649

I think I know what I'm going to do.

00:44:42,769 → 00:44:47,059

Um, I think I'm going to use my action to double move, to get to where everyone

00:44:47,059 → 00:44:48,929

is to climb and get to where everyone is.

00:44:49,144 → 00:44:51,356

Meghan: Wait, isn't disengage an action or was that part of the Zephyr Strike?

00:44:51,356 → 00:44:54,124

Maya: I didn't actually disengage, I just moved away with Zephyr Strike.

00:44:54,424 → 00:44:57,164

Meghan: Oh, and Zephyr Strike, does that allow you to disengage, or...?

00:44:57,194 → 00:44:58,924

Maya: It doesn't provoke opportunity attacks.

00:44:58,924 → 00:45:00,554

So it's not the same as disengaging.

00:45:00,594 → 00:45:00,744

Meghan: Oh, okay.

00:45:00,744 → 00:45:02,104

Maya: It just doesn't provoke opportunity.

00:45:02,104 → 00:45:02,564

Meghan: I'll allow it.

00:45:02,584 → 00:45:02,854

Yeah.

00:45:02,884 → 00:45:03,184

Okay.

00:45:03,214 → 00:45:03,574

Got it.

00:45:03,724 → 00:45:04,054

Maya: Sorry.

00:45:04,054 → 00:45:07,444

I was, I was unclear when asking about-- I just wanted to know

00:45:07,444 → 00:45:08,664

how the proboscis thing worked.

00:45:08,757 → 00:45:09,457

[laughs]

00:45:09,474 → 00:45:09,914

Meghan: Well, yeah.

00:45:09,934 → 00:45:13,204

Well, it's like, it's like to-may-to, to-mah-to, like moving without provoking

00:45:13,204 → 00:45:15,244

opportunity attack is sort of disengaging.

00:45:15,274 → 00:45:15,694

Maya: Yeah.

00:45:15,814 → 00:45:16,204

Yeah.

00:45:16,504 → 00:45:20,824

So that was her bonus action-- was to make sure she could move away from the thing.

00:45:20,974 → 00:45:23,824

So she used her action and her movement to get to everyone.

00:45:23,884 → 00:45:26,014

Meghan: So now you're over with, uh, with the group.

00:45:26,014 → 00:45:29,394

You're with, uh, Khabriel, the Wraith, the Remorhaz, Noriah, and

00:45:29,394 → 00:45:30,604

I guess Porla's a little ways off.

00:45:30,604 → 00:45:33,364

Cause she's still kind of, uh, where the statue had been.

00:45:33,514 → 00:45:33,994

Maya: Okay.

00:45:34,084 → 00:45:38,944

And now that I'm there, I think Winswip will get close to where Khabriel and

00:45:38,944 → 00:45:42,554

the Wraith are, specifically, and then she's going to Action Surge.

00:45:42,904 → 00:45:43,414

Jesse: Oh yeah.

00:45:43,774 → 00:45:44,314

Oh yeah.

00:45:45,124 → 00:45:46,164

Maya: She's going to do that thing.

00:45:46,254 → 00:45:47,094

Phil: Everyone's favorite.

00:45:48,634 → 00:45:53,834

Maya: And just, uh, just try to double whammy this, uh, this Wraith.

00:45:53,904 → 00:45:54,514

Meghan: Hell yeah.

00:45:54,664 → 00:45:55,174

Okay.

00:45:55,444 → 00:45:58,144

Maya: And now here's the second part of the spell that I had cast earlier

00:45:58,144 → 00:46:03,124

that is relevant now, which is: once before the spell ends, I can give myself

00:46:03,124 → 00:46:05,584

advantage on one weapon attack roll.

00:46:05,824 → 00:46:06,604

Phil: Nice.

00:46:06,904 → 00:46:07,594

Maya: So...

00:46:07,594 → 00:46:08,134

Neda: Amazing.

00:46:08,704 → 00:46:13,414

Maya: And if I hit, it's an extra 1d8 of force damage, so...

00:46:13,414 → 00:46:13,884

Neda: Amazing.

00:46:13,884 → 00:46:14,224

Meghan: Okay!

00:46:14,674 → 00:46:14,844

Maya: Yeah.

00:46:15,094 → 00:46:18,094

Anyway, that's what I'm going to do, with advantage.

00:46:18,424 → 00:46:20,044

Does a 25 hit?

00:46:21,004 → 00:46:21,694

Meghan: It does.

00:46:21,724 → 00:46:26,004

Now, question for you: is your hammer magical?

00:46:26,914 → 00:46:28,534

Maya: I-- Not to my knowledge, no.

00:46:28,534 → 00:46:29,314

That's probably bad, huh?

00:46:29,614 → 00:46:31,294

Meghan: It does hit, it just does half damage.

00:46:31,324 → 00:46:31,684

Maya: Got it.

00:46:31,744 → 00:46:36,124

But I get an extra 1d8 of force damage from the Zephyr Strike,

00:46:36,144 → 00:46:38,314

because as the wind just powers...

00:46:38,464 → 00:46:38,704

Meghan: Okay.

00:46:38,704 → 00:46:40,654

And that, that will do-- It'll do the full force.

00:46:40,654 → 00:46:43,154

It's just on bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from non-magical weapons.

00:46:43,174 → 00:46:44,884

Maya: I'm just going to roll regular damage.

00:46:45,514 → 00:46:45,754

Wow.

00:46:45,784 → 00:46:50,464

That's a whole 7, halved to 3 normal damage.

00:46:50,494 → 00:46:50,764

Meghan: Okay.

00:46:51,514 → 00:46:56,044

Maya: And then a d8, an extra 3 force damage.

00:46:56,404 → 00:46:58,264

These are little itty-bitty numbers, but...

00:46:58,444 → 00:47:00,544

Meghan: And on your Action Surge, you get, you just get one

00:47:00,544 → 00:47:01,754

more attack, or do you get two?

00:47:02,074 → 00:47:03,604

Maya: My attacks are an action.

00:47:03,634 → 00:47:04,924

Two attacks are one action.

00:47:04,984 → 00:47:05,164

Meghan: Okay.

00:47:05,164 → 00:47:06,214

So then-- And that was one of them.

00:47:06,214 → 00:47:07,024

And so now you have another one?

00:47:07,024 → 00:47:07,894

Maya: Yes, I do.

00:47:08,104 → 00:47:08,710

Meghan: Oh my gosh, I love this.

00:47:08,710 → 00:47:09,604

Maya: But not with advantage.

00:47:09,604 → 00:47:10,864

This is just a normal attack, so...

00:47:10,984 → 00:47:11,434

Meghan: Okay.

00:47:11,824 → 00:47:12,184

Maya: Sorry.

00:47:12,324 → 00:47:13,924

Long turns, fighters.

00:47:15,379 → 00:47:19,069

And that is going to be-- it's probably not going to hit-- a 13.

00:47:19,459 → 00:47:20,479

Meghan: That...

00:47:20,509 → 00:47:20,929

does hit.

00:47:21,079 → 00:47:23,739

Maya: Oh, well, I guess it's not an armor-wearing Wraith.

00:47:23,739 → 00:47:24,149

Um...

00:47:24,469 → 00:47:25,739

Meghan: Surprise!

00:47:26,489 → 00:47:33,514

Maya: [rolls] Uh, that will be 9 normal damage.

00:47:34,054 → 00:47:34,264

Okay.

00:47:34,264 → 00:47:35,244

So halved to 4.

00:47:35,674 → 00:47:36,064

Meghan: Okay.

00:47:36,064 → 00:47:39,514

So you still did a total of 10 damage, which is-- for an extra

00:47:39,514 → 00:47:43,794

Action Surge that most people would not even get to take is not too bad.

00:47:43,994 → 00:47:44,334

Maya: Ugh.

00:47:44,814 → 00:47:45,154

All: [laughter]

00:47:45,264 → 00:47:47,794

Phil: Being level five is a mood, man.

00:47:49,594 → 00:47:52,244

Meghan: So we see you-- Okay, but we see you cast a spell

00:47:52,274 → 00:47:52,614

[rushing wind]

00:47:52,614 → 00:47:56,074

Meghan: to whirlwind away from this massive, massive

00:47:56,074 → 00:47:57,694

gross bat toddler creature.

00:47:57,844 → 00:48:02,464

At which point, you then seamlessly burst into a run, parkour up a little

00:48:02,494 → 00:48:06,304

mini cliff face, run over to the Remorhaz, and then strike it twice

00:48:06,304 → 00:48:09,424

with your sword, one of which is a magical attack that you can see.

00:48:09,484 → 00:48:15,784

When it strikes it, it pushes some of its Wraith-y, shadowy material off, just into

00:48:15,844 → 00:48:20,014

the ether, in a way that you can tell is, is definitely not feeling good for it.

00:48:20,074 → 00:48:24,574

And it is looking a little bit thin and transparent in more areas than before.

00:48:24,574 → 00:48:25,864

So I would say that's a hell of a turn.

00:48:26,224 → 00:48:27,964

Winswip: I mean, I, I did my best.

00:48:27,964 → 00:48:28,644

Um, yeah.

00:48:29,234 → 00:48:32,629

Maya: And she just sort of stands over Khabriel protectively.

00:48:32,629 → 00:48:35,269

Jesse: I think Esther gives, uh, Kit a look, like,

00:48:35,599 → 00:48:36,859

Esther: What the fuck?

00:48:37,249 → 00:48:39,769

When did Winswip get so bad-ass?

00:48:39,769 → 00:48:40,199

Jesse: [laughs]

00:48:41,289 → 00:48:41,479

Maya: Yeah!

00:48:42,899 → 00:48:43,669

Well, that is new.

00:48:43,669 → 00:48:45,169

The magic is definitely new.

00:48:45,229 → 00:48:47,969

The weird whirlwind stuff, never seen that before.

00:48:47,969 → 00:48:48,149

[laughs]

00:48:48,149 → 00:48:52,429

Phil: And I think Kit is just like, you know, he sort of had like a baseball,

00:48:52,609 → 00:48:55,549

like, swing stance and he's sort of still holding his clubs and just

00:48:55,549 → 00:48:57,529

looking over his shoulder, being like,

00:48:58,309 → 00:48:59,719

Kit: What the fuck?

00:48:59,749 → 00:49:03,259

Just, oh my god, I've made a huge mistake!

00:49:04,129 → 00:49:05,059

All: [gasps, laughter]

00:49:05,393 → 00:49:07,173

[sweeping music transition]

00:49:07,173 → 00:49:07,453

Meghan [flashback]: Okay.

00:49:07,483 → 00:49:08,459

Card number five.

00:49:09,469 → 00:49:10,329

[falling synthesizer notes]

00:49:10,429 → 00:49:13,119

Maya [flashback]: Three of swords?

00:49:14,159 → 00:49:14,249

Or...

00:49:14,249 → 00:49:14,999

sword hearts?

00:49:15,269 → 00:49:15,539

Meghan: Oh yeah.

00:49:15,539 → 00:49:16,939

That's like the emo one.

00:49:17,309 → 00:49:18,839

Maya: [laughs]

00:49:19,389 → 00:49:22,529

Meghan: "Your character's heart is broken".

00:49:22,769 → 00:49:24,819

Who broke it and how?

00:49:26,859 → 00:49:27,819

Maya: Okay.

00:49:27,969 → 00:49:28,549

Damn.

00:49:29,289 → 00:49:30,619

Damn, dude.

00:49:30,619 → 00:49:35,159

I think, I think Kit probably makes sense.

00:49:35,219 → 00:49:40,319

It's been somewhat established that they have a rapport going, um, or they

00:49:40,319 → 00:49:46,499

had one, where, um, he would like, you know, confide in her about his

00:49:46,599 → 00:49:51,389

sort of opinions and thoughts on the party, his own strategies, and whatnot.

00:49:51,419 → 00:49:56,759

And so I think, I think she's probably, she would have probably held a torch for

00:49:56,759 → 00:49:58,679

him for quite a while, like secretly.

00:49:58,679 → 00:50:03,434

Just like interpreting every conversation as like, maybe what he was trying

00:50:03,434 → 00:50:05,324

to say is that he actually loves me?

00:50:05,624 → 00:50:12,464

And so I guess year five is when she, you know, makes that fatal mistake of

00:50:12,494 → 00:50:16,724

really misinterpreting something that he has said, or is saying, depending on

00:50:16,724 → 00:50:19,004

where, wherever he is in the timeline.

00:50:19,214 → 00:50:22,034

Meghan: So Kit, at this point, is kind of in like a dark night of the

00:50:22,034 → 00:50:25,214

soul, because he had sort of like-- He went back to the monastery and

00:50:25,214 → 00:50:28,574

had sort of like a failed business venture that didn't end up going great.

00:50:28,634 → 00:50:30,884

And has kind of lost self-esteem and stuff.

00:50:30,974 → 00:50:33,434

And, um, is sort of grappling with his faith.

00:50:33,494 → 00:50:37,454

And I also know at this point that he just wasn't at all thinking

00:50:37,454 → 00:50:40,814

about like romance at all, like had never given it any thought.

00:50:40,964 → 00:50:45,314

So I wonder if, maybe like, you like go to see him and-- or even just

00:50:45,314 → 00:50:48,254

say something and he's just like-- either misses it, or is like, I'm

00:50:48,254 → 00:50:49,484

in no place to do this right now.

00:50:49,484 → 00:50:50,974

Like, he's not in a good place.

00:50:51,419 → 00:50:54,689

Maya: I think that's probably more-- I think it's, it's like she would go

00:50:54,689 → 00:50:59,219

there genuinely to try to, to see him and then just to pick him up and, you

00:50:59,219 → 00:51:02,489

know, realizing that he's in a bad place, you know, would try to comfort

00:51:02,489 → 00:51:04,769

him in the way that their friendship is.

00:51:04,769 → 00:51:09,629

But then again, he probably said something really affectionate, where he's like,

00:51:09,659 → 00:51:13,619

"Wow, thanks for coming out here and doing all this, you know, you didn't have to".

00:51:13,619 → 00:51:17,099

And she, in her hormone-addled brain is like, "This is it!

00:51:17,129 → 00:51:19,949

This is the moment that I, that, that we've clearly been

00:51:19,949 → 00:51:21,839

working towards, the two of us".

00:51:21,899 → 00:51:26,159

Um, and maybe tries to go for a kiss or something.

00:51:26,159 → 00:51:32,039

And you know, that startles him because he doesn't see that coming at all.

00:51:32,219 → 00:51:36,389

And I don't want to like play Phil's character too much, but, you know, I

00:51:36,389 → 00:51:40,739

could see, again, just her misinterpreting him making a statement of a friendship

00:51:41,099 → 00:51:45,659

as something much bigger, and then trying to act on it, only to realize

00:51:45,689 → 00:51:47,939

summarily she's being rejected.

00:51:48,389 → 00:51:54,014

And, you know, that would be deeply upsetting and she would immediately recuse

00:51:54,014 → 00:51:58,094

herself with the situation and try to deal with it on her own, and pretend that

00:51:58,094 → 00:51:59,534

it doesn't hurt her as much as it does.

00:51:59,694 → 00:52:01,394

Meghan: Just a total miscommunication.

00:52:01,604 → 00:52:02,164

Maya: Yes.

00:52:02,174 → 00:52:06,434

Just like classic, like miscommunication where like, she's built up something in

00:52:06,434 → 00:52:09,704

her head and it makes so much sense to her based on the narrative that she's

00:52:09,914 → 00:52:11,924

been telling herself all these years.

00:52:12,404 → 00:52:15,344

But how that is also like uniquely heartbreaking.

00:52:15,404 → 00:52:16,424

Um, because...

00:52:16,454 → 00:52:16,874

Meghan: Right?

00:52:17,504 → 00:52:17,834

Maya: Yeah.

00:52:18,164 → 00:52:19,734

Meghan: Or so I imagine.

00:52:19,764 → 00:52:20,831

Maya: [laughs]

00:52:21,315 → 00:52:23,654

[sweeping music transition]

00:52:23,673 → 00:52:24,343

[tense music resumes]

00:52:24,343 → 00:52:29,268

Jamie: Can we get an F in the chat for Kit's, um, long-term life partner?

00:52:31,838 → 00:52:34,238

That he co-owns a monastery with?

00:52:34,318 → 00:52:36,348

Maya: Okay, draaaama.

00:52:37,808 → 00:52:38,158

Phil: Kit--

00:52:38,928 → 00:52:39,488

Maya: I mean...

00:52:39,988 → 00:52:42,708

Phil: Kit Marpola, definitely-- definitely not a fuck boy.

00:52:43,368 → 00:52:45,278

Maya: [laughs] Oh, no.

00:52:47,118 → 00:52:51,263

Meghan: So the-- It is now the Stirge's turn, there's one left.

00:52:51,263 → 00:52:53,463

It has been whirlwinded off of-- from Winswip.

00:52:53,663 → 00:52:56,483

It is kind of spinning in a cartoonish way.

00:52:56,873 → 00:53:02,223

And as it stops spinning, it is going to land on Avilene and attempt to--

00:53:02,253 → 00:53:02,533

Jamie: Yay.

00:53:02,563 → 00:53:03,413

Meghan: --proboscis--

00:53:03,443 → 00:53:04,913

Jamie: I love to be probed.

00:53:05,153 → 00:53:06,993

Meghan: Proboscis is a verb now.

00:53:07,713 → 00:53:08,153

Jesse: Oh my.

00:53:08,713 → 00:53:10,833

Phil: Oh no, oh god.

00:53:11,413 → 00:53:12,683

Maya: It's worse somehow!

00:53:12,683 → 00:53:13,013

Phil: Not a fan!

00:53:13,013 → 00:53:14,123

Meghan: That is going to hit.

00:53:14,123 → 00:53:18,653

That is a 16, that is going to hit, and it is going to be 8 piercing

00:53:18,653 → 00:53:21,023

damage, and 10 necrotic damage.

00:53:21,203 → 00:53:22,793

Phil: Jesus Christ.

00:53:23,063 → 00:53:23,893

Jamie: Okay.

00:53:24,013 → 00:53:25,373

Maya: I knew I should've hit it before I left.

00:53:26,573 → 00:53:28,613

Jamie: That's actually the first time I've been hit.

00:53:29,003 → 00:53:29,333

Meghan: All right.

00:53:29,333 → 00:53:30,783

It is also going to make a...

00:53:31,863 → 00:53:32,723

Jamie: Meghan!

00:53:32,873 → 00:53:33,713

Meghan: And here's the second!

00:53:33,743 → 00:53:36,333

No, it's going to get-- it's going to make a claw attack.

00:53:36,563 → 00:53:39,533

I'm sorry, it's going to make a claw attack, and it is going to hit.

00:53:39,533 → 00:53:41,803

I was going to say, I was going to get punished and roll like a nat 1 on

00:53:41,803 → 00:53:46,373

that, but it is going to hit for, uh, 7 slashing damage and 6 acid damage.

00:53:46,733 → 00:53:50,543

As it also manages to shear through an area on your body, which is not protected

00:53:50,543 → 00:53:53,303

by armor, and has just filthy hands.

00:53:53,333 → 00:53:57,593

Just the grossest, dirtiest little-- little gremlin hands that you can

00:53:57,593 → 00:53:59,363

tell are slowly poisoning you.

00:53:59,993 → 00:54:01,133

Jamie: Oh no.

00:54:01,673 → 00:54:02,693

Maya: These are no joke!

00:54:03,053 → 00:54:06,723

Jamie: I, I, I went from 38 HP to 7.

00:54:06,723 → 00:54:06,823

Jesse: Ohhhhhhhhh-kay.

00:54:07,653 → 00:54:09,313

Maya: Oh god.

00:54:13,653 → 00:54:14,333

Wild Shape.

00:54:14,363 → 00:54:15,483

Wild Shape, Wild Shape?

00:54:16,193 → 00:54:16,493

Jamie: Yeah.

00:54:16,523 → 00:54:22,003

I don't think I can wild shape because I have Addie and she is

00:54:22,028 → 00:54:25,448

one of my use of Wild Shape, so...

00:54:25,868 → 00:54:26,708

Meghan: Okay.

00:54:26,918 → 00:54:28,058

Esther, it's your turn now.

00:54:28,058 → 00:54:28,408

Jamie: Yikes.

00:54:29,408 → 00:54:31,028

Jesse: Esther, uh, turns to Kit.

00:54:31,748 → 00:54:36,848

Esther: Kit, uh, so do we think this Wraith is like, uh, making

00:54:36,848 → 00:54:39,038

decisions or is being told what to do?

00:54:39,668 → 00:54:41,798

How, how smart do you think it is?

00:54:42,068 → 00:54:45,638

Kit: Well, it, it seems to somehow be at odds with that worm.

00:54:46,028 → 00:54:51,428

Um, I, I don't know whether it's-- I don't know, it seems kind of related to

00:54:51,428 → 00:54:57,258

these weird Strigoi, but, uh, I thought it was really dumb at first, but--

00:54:57,258 → 00:54:58,568

Esther: Okay, great, that's my thoughts too!

00:54:58,568 → 00:54:59,138

See you in a bit!

00:54:59,188 → 00:55:05,438

Jesse: And then Esther runs, uh, closer to the, um, the Wraith, to where the

00:55:05,438 → 00:55:12,108

big shindig is happening and is going to cast-- attempt to cast Detect Thoughts

00:55:12,203 → 00:55:17,063

on the Wraith and is going to use a, the material component to cast that.

00:55:17,243 → 00:55:22,673

So he sort of like, he like, uh, strokes his hand through his hair, or that's

00:55:22,673 → 00:55:24,233

what it's looking like he's doing.

00:55:24,413 → 00:55:29,183

But then he, like, he touches-- He has a little copper like ear

00:55:29,183 → 00:55:33,083

cuff and he like touches it with like all five of his fingers.

00:55:33,293 → 00:55:35,273

And like, it's kinda like a rhythmic pattern.

00:55:35,693 → 00:55:41,943

Um, and that's how he, uh, sends off his, uh, Detect Thoughts onto the Wraith.

00:55:41,943 → 00:55:42,003

Neda: Wow.

00:55:42,003 → 00:55:42,793

Phil: That's awesome.

00:55:43,223 → 00:55:43,613

Maya: Okay.

00:55:43,763 → 00:55:48,503

I need to add the flavor of this, which is that there is still residual wind whipping

00:55:48,503 → 00:55:53,483

off of Winswip's spell that like flows through Esther's hair while he does this.

00:55:55,883 → 00:56:00,053

Meghan: Everybody is like using this to just show like-- It's typical reunion

00:56:00,053 → 00:56:01,943

behavior of like, look at how hot I got.

00:56:02,363 → 00:56:05,633

Neda: I mean, not all-- Speak for yourselves.

00:56:06,893 → 00:56:08,473

I'm fucking dying out here.

00:56:09,029 → 00:56:10,673

All: [laughter]

00:56:10,883 → 00:56:14,073

Jesse: So that's a wisdom saving throw for the Wraith.

00:56:14,073 → 00:56:14,633

Meghan: Okay.

00:56:14,963 → 00:56:15,653

What's the DC?

00:56:16,073 → 00:56:16,583

Jesse: 15.

00:56:17,153 → 00:56:18,503

Meghan: Uh, it fails.

00:56:18,783 → 00:56:19,283

Jesse: Sweet!

00:56:19,283 → 00:56:19,833

Meghan: This works.

00:56:19,853 → 00:56:24,413

You, you tap into it and you here's -- So you get surface thoughts?

00:56:24,983 → 00:56:25,403

Jesse: Yeah.

00:56:25,493 → 00:56:25,973

Meghan: Okay.

00:56:26,063 → 00:56:33,533

Surface thoughts you get are just this immense pain and rage

00:56:33,593 → 00:56:35,843

of being angry that you're dead.

00:56:36,173 → 00:56:41,483

And you tap into this creature who just has driven by this absolutely

00:56:41,483 → 00:56:48,263

all-consuming, primal urge to suck life out of any living creature and

00:56:48,953 → 00:56:52,553

inflict as much harm on the living as possible, because it is just so angry.

00:56:52,913 → 00:56:56,303

Jesse: So no clear, like-- I'm not going after this one thing.

00:56:56,363 → 00:57:00,553

Just primal, teenage, "I'm mad at everything" energy.

00:57:00,553 → 00:57:01,763

Meghan: I don't know if I would say teenage.

00:57:02,013 → 00:57:02,793

[laughs] Um, yeah.

00:57:02,813 → 00:57:07,673

More like fight or flight, bestial, "I will just fuck up whatever comes near

00:57:07,673 → 00:57:09,203

me and whatever I can lay eyes upon".

00:57:09,203 → 00:57:10,373

This is a bloodbath.

00:57:10,823 → 00:57:12,053

Jesse: Okay, great.

00:57:12,533 → 00:57:18,533

And then I guess I do want to use all of my movement, as much as possible.

00:57:18,533 → 00:57:22,193

Like I kind of want to-- if I'm picturing this correctly-- I want to

00:57:22,193 → 00:57:25,473

come up sort of behind the Remorhaz.

00:57:25,513 → 00:57:27,623

Kind of like flank it from behind.

00:57:27,983 → 00:57:31,853

Meghan: Um, so I'll say you get like halfway across that distance

00:57:31,883 → 00:57:35,963

on the level you're on, without like attempting to go up the ramp at all.

00:57:36,383 → 00:57:40,073

Jesse: But the creature is still on the, like, on the upper level, right?

00:57:40,143 → 00:57:40,303

Meghan: Yeah.

00:57:40,343 → 00:57:43,613

So you're actually about even with it, you're just on a lower level from it.

00:57:43,613 → 00:57:46,883

So you're probably like 15 feet away.

00:57:46,883 → 00:57:48,093

And some of that is vertical.

00:57:48,758 → 00:57:50,228

Jesse: Okay, great.

00:57:50,888 → 00:57:55,388

And Fink is running along with me, just still losing her mind.

00:57:55,658 → 00:57:57,788

Meghan: I'm picturing like when dogs are running, but they're also

00:57:57,818 → 00:58:01,608

really excited, so it's not so much a coordinated run as it is like-- just

00:58:01,608 → 00:58:05,138

all parts of the body are bouncing and moving and like not in coordination.

00:58:05,228 → 00:58:06,218

Jesse: 100%.

00:58:06,248 → 00:58:10,898

And like, not along with me, like going back, forth, like all over the place.

00:58:11,498 → 00:58:14,768

Meghan: Like as though it sees a bug or something, which, I mean, you

00:58:14,768 → 00:58:16,748

know, maybe it got excited by it.

00:58:16,778 → 00:58:18,388

Maybe she got excited by the Strigoi.

00:58:18,608 → 00:58:21,548

So it is now Noriah's turn.

00:58:21,848 → 00:58:22,388

Neda: Okay.

00:58:22,688 → 00:58:26,708

Noriah is remembering what this feels like.

00:58:27,038 → 00:58:29,018

What I'm going to do is...

00:58:30,068 → 00:58:31,198

I'm going to go for the Wraith.

00:58:31,478 → 00:58:34,748

I was probably prone because I did just nearly die, so I'm going

00:58:34,748 → 00:58:39,788

to use half of my movement to get myself up, scan my surroundings, and

00:58:39,788 → 00:58:45,798

then I will be casting Ice Knife.

00:58:46,038 → 00:58:46,528

Maya: Yes.

00:58:47,588 → 00:58:47,738

Yeees.

00:58:47,738 → 00:58:48,808

Neda: Um, I'll be--

00:58:48,808 → 00:58:49,068

Meghan: Nice knife.

00:58:49,068 → 00:58:53,708

Neda: --casting Ice Knife, which counts as a weapon, so I get

00:58:53,708 → 00:58:55,598

to add my sneak attack to it.

00:58:56,108 → 00:59:02,648

And because I'm an evocation wizard, Ice Knife has a part of it where you

00:59:02,648 → 00:59:05,918

have to succeed at dex save so as not to get fucked by my Ice Knife.

00:59:06,358 → 00:59:07,868

Winswip, we'll be fine.

00:59:08,078 → 00:59:10,058

Meghan: We love a good spell shaping.

00:59:10,268 → 00:59:12,818

Neda: Yes, we're spell shaping, we're sculpting this bitch.

00:59:12,818 → 00:59:22,268

So as Winswip will not be damaged by my Ice Knife, I will be doing this-- ah,

00:59:22,298 → 00:59:23,798

fuck it, I will do it as a first level.

00:59:23,798 → 00:59:25,658

I'm not going to burn my second level spell slot.

00:59:25,868 → 00:59:27,228

So we're going for the Wraith...

00:59:27,548 → 00:59:27,668

[rolls]

00:59:30,098 → 00:59:30,848

Maya: Oh no.

00:59:30,908 → 00:59:32,128

Jesse: Is it, is it a 1, or...

00:59:32,128 → 00:59:33,208

Neda: Hand to god, I just crit!

00:59:33,368 → 00:59:34,294

Jamie: Oh yes!

00:59:34,294 → 00:59:38,524

Maya: I was like, it's either 1 or 20!

00:59:38,868 → 00:59:42,228

Neda: I just crit, and to recap, I am doing Ice Knife.

00:59:42,528 → 00:59:47,063

There is a dex save involved in it and I am sneak attacking.

00:59:47,363 → 00:59:48,653

Maya: And also what kind of damage is it?

00:59:48,653 → 00:59:49,463

What kind of damage is it?

00:59:50,933 → 00:59:52,043

Neda: I say physical damage.

00:59:52,133 → 00:59:52,613

Maya: There you go.

00:59:52,973 → 00:59:53,873

Meghan: I think it's piercing and cold.

00:59:53,873 → 00:59:54,893

Neda: Oh no, pardon me.

00:59:54,923 → 00:59:56,983

Ice Knife just straight up piercing damage.

00:59:57,023 → 00:59:57,253

Maya: Oh.

00:59:58,223 → 00:59:59,813

Neda: So here's the deal, here's what happens.

00:59:59,813 → 01:00:00,113

Meghan: It's both.

01:00:00,323 → 01:00:01,313

Neda: It is both.

01:00:01,523 → 01:00:06,193

First of all, before we calculate any of this, give me a dex

01:00:06,193 → 01:00:08,393

save for the wraith, DC 16.

01:00:08,813 → 01:00:10,583

Meghan: Uh, it rolled a 17 plus whatever.

01:00:10,613 → 01:00:11,123

Neda: Okay, cool.

01:00:11,123 → 01:00:12,713

So you're going to be fine.

01:00:13,163 → 01:00:18,443

So you're not going to take my cold damage, but you will be taking my, um,

01:00:18,473 → 01:00:24,653

piercing damage, which is 1d10, plus my sneak attack damage, which is 1d6.

01:00:25,013 → 01:00:29,663

So we are starting with-- If you want to do crit rolls, the way you

01:00:29,663 → 01:00:31,433

do it, we're starting with 16--

01:00:31,883 → 01:00:32,283

Meghan: Mmhmm.

01:00:32,503 → 01:00:32,923

Neda: --plus...

01:00:34,113 → 01:00:34,293

[rolls]

01:00:34,293 → 01:00:35,713

Meghan: Sneak attack you take twice as well?

01:00:36,643 → 01:00:36,933

Neda: Yep.

01:00:37,263 → 01:00:39,893

Everything on the crit, it's all of it.

01:00:40,613 → 01:00:49,163

So it's a 16 plus I wrote a 7 on my d10, so that's 23 plus another 4, is

01:00:49,163 → 01:00:51,963

going to be 27 damage on the Wraith.

01:00:51,963 → 01:00:52,583

Jamie: Fuck yeah.

01:00:53,363 → 01:00:55,223

Neda: I did not enjoy being down.

01:00:55,733 → 01:00:56,093

Meghan: All right.

01:00:56,093 → 01:00:58,043

Noriah, describe to me how you kill this Wraith.

01:00:58,043 → 01:00:58,243

Phil: Yes!

01:00:58,683 → 01:01:00,563

Jesse: Ohhh my god.

01:01:00,773 → 01:01:06,653

Neda: It's just that, it's just that I get up, fucking-- My nose is bleeding,

01:01:06,723 → 01:01:09,953

I'm singed, not having a good time.

01:01:10,373 → 01:01:13,403

Just scan my surroundings so fucking fast.

01:01:14,123 → 01:01:20,763

And then you just see-- It's just a shard of like-- It's a massive, like, icicle--

01:01:20,763 → 01:01:20,823

Phil: Yeah.

01:01:20,823 → 01:01:21,033

Magical...

01:01:21,053 → 01:01:25,913

Neda: --like the type of icicles that like you get worried about, uh, when it's cold.

01:01:26,363 → 01:01:28,673

It just shoots straight out of my arm.

01:01:28,703 → 01:01:29,143

[icy shattering]

01:01:29,143 → 01:01:32,843

Neda: It's like a bone, it looks like I'm hurling one of my arm bones at it.

01:01:32,963 → 01:01:40,283

It's a big, icy bone, and it goes straight into its fucking left eye, where it

01:01:40,283 → 01:01:42,503

explodes the way it was supposed to.

01:01:42,803 → 01:01:46,403

Meghan: You see this thing explode and in every little shard, it just

01:01:46,403 → 01:01:50,813

takes a piece of shadow until it's just pulled apart into nothing.

01:01:50,813 → 01:01:54,923

And these shards also, to the keen observer, you see them curve like a

01:01:54,923 → 01:01:59,513

curved bullet around Winswip, just, just like not at all following the

01:01:59,513 → 01:02:00,833

trajectory in order to avoid her.

01:02:01,853 → 01:02:03,923

And the Wraith disappears.

01:02:04,403 → 01:02:04,793

Winswip: Wow.

01:02:04,823 → 01:02:05,573

Holy shit.

01:02:06,233 → 01:02:06,683

Good job.

01:02:06,713 → 01:02:07,653

Good job, Noriah!

01:02:08,853 → 01:02:09,733

Neda: That's my turn.

01:02:10,103 → 01:02:10,753

Meghan: Alright.

01:02:11,093 → 01:02:12,543

Kit, it is your turn now.

01:02:12,853 → 01:02:17,313

Phil: So I've just seen Noriah and Winswip do like...

01:02:17,333 → 01:02:21,623

And um, yeah, like just do like crazy things up there.

01:02:21,743 → 01:02:25,343

I like look at this Strigoi, and I'm just like,

01:02:25,433 → 01:02:26,033

Kit: Ah, I guess...

01:02:26,888 → 01:02:30,968

Phil: And it's reminding me of like the last battle where I was like

01:02:30,968 → 01:02:35,258

taking care of all the like little wieners and I felt real bad about it.

01:02:35,438 → 01:02:35,918

And I'm like,

01:02:36,068 → 01:02:39,428

Kit: Not this again, but I guess, I guess this is what I've got to do.

01:02:39,998 → 01:02:45,168

Phil: And I run over to the Strigoi that's on Avilene.

01:02:45,488 → 01:02:47,498

So my movement's 40 feet, can I get there?

01:02:47,618 → 01:02:48,908

Jamie: We were like next to each other.

01:02:48,908 → 01:02:50,298

Meghan: I think so, let me--

01:02:50,588 → 01:02:51,538

Jamie: I haven't moved at all--

01:02:51,538 → 01:02:51,908

Meghan: Oh yeah, yeah.

01:02:52,308 → 01:02:54,908

Jamie: --so I'm just still where I was at the beginning of the fight.

01:02:55,088 → 01:02:56,678

Phil: Oh, I guess I actually, I haven't actually--

01:02:56,678 → 01:02:58,898

Meghan: I think you both are, so you're probably like 20 feet apart, max.

01:02:59,108 → 01:02:59,408

Phil: Okay.

01:02:59,408 → 01:03:03,558

So I guess I use like half my movement to get over to that Strigoi.

01:03:04,088 → 01:03:09,678

And I do the same thing, where I take like two swipes with both of my eskrima sticks.

01:03:10,373 → 01:03:13,903

That is a crit, a nat 20 and a 19.

01:03:14,913 → 01:03:15,173

Neda: Woooo!

01:03:15,173 → 01:03:15,813

Maya: Oh my gosh.

01:03:15,813 → 01:03:18,593

Jamie: A nat 20 and a 19, holy shit!

01:03:19,433 → 01:03:19,853

Meghan: Okay!

01:03:19,913 → 01:03:20,393

Phil: Okay.

01:03:20,453 → 01:03:21,503

How are we doing crit damage?

01:03:21,563 → 01:03:24,513

Meghan: Take max damage and then roll and add that to it.

01:03:24,633 → 01:03:25,703

Phil: So max damage would be 9.

01:03:25,703 → 01:03:28,193

And then I just do the regular rolls that I would do otherwise?

01:03:28,653 → 01:03:31,613

Uh, plus two, seven, plus nine...

01:03:31,613 → 01:03:34,763

So that's like, I guess, 16 bludgeoning damage.

01:03:35,273 → 01:03:40,223

And because I crit and I have crusher, when I deal a crit that

01:03:40,223 → 01:03:42,693

deals bludgeoning damage attack rolls against the creature are made with

01:03:42,713 → 01:03:45,023

advantage until the end of my next turn.

01:03:45,653 → 01:03:46,643

Jesse: Oh shit!

01:03:46,643 → 01:03:52,103

Phil: And, um, I also do like the crusher feet where I move it, um, like five feet

01:03:52,103 → 01:03:54,143

away to like pull the proboscis out.

01:03:54,833 → 01:03:59,183

And I spend a ki point to use, um, Stunning Strike to stun it.

01:03:59,933 → 01:04:04,703

Jamie: Can you-- Can-- When you, when you shove it five feet, can

01:04:04,703 → 01:04:06,353

you shove it into my Moonbeam?

01:04:06,713 → 01:04:09,263

Phil: If it's still up, I can, and it's close enough, then I can do that.

01:04:09,263 → 01:04:11,378

Jamie: The Moonbeam-- Oh, wait, I didn't roll!

01:04:11,798 → 01:04:12,698

I didn't roll.

01:04:12,888 → 01:04:15,248

The Moonbeam stays on during sex.

01:04:15,308 → 01:04:20,558

I forgot to roll because it's-- Well, I just rolled a 3, so the Moonbeam is gone.

01:04:21,068 → 01:04:21,338

Fuck.

01:04:21,338 → 01:04:22,568

Neda: RIP Moonbeam.

01:04:22,868 → 01:04:23,228

Phil: Okay.

01:04:23,258 → 01:04:26,918

So I guess I just hit it away, and let me just make sure...

01:04:27,338 → 01:04:28,418

Is this true?

01:04:28,898 → 01:04:31,298

None of that used a bonus action.

01:04:31,598 → 01:04:35,768

So why-- So now it's like stunned on the ground five feet away, and I'm

01:04:35,768 → 01:04:40,088

just going to like kick it as hard as I can with my bonus unarmed strike.

01:04:41,138 → 01:04:43,898

Neda: I like that Kit had this moment of like, oh no, and then

01:04:43,898 → 01:04:45,328

he fucking goes off and does that.

01:04:45,328 → 01:04:46,418

Jesse: He was like, well, fuck it.

01:04:46,418 → 01:04:49,238

Maya: He's like, wow, everyone's being so bad-ass but me.

01:04:49,748 → 01:04:50,908

[imitates battle cry]

01:04:51,128 → 01:04:53,048

Phil: Does, uh, does a 15 hit?

01:04:53,438 → 01:04:54,308

Meghan: It does not.

01:04:54,368 → 01:04:54,698

Phil: Okay.

01:04:54,748 → 01:04:55,178

That's fine.

01:04:55,588 → 01:04:56,688

Meghan: Did you roll advantage though?

01:04:57,158 → 01:04:58,508

Phil: Oh, I guess I do.

01:04:58,968 → 01:04:59,678

That is true.

01:05:00,818 → 01:05:02,568

Uh, that's a nat 20.

01:05:03,238 → 01:05:07,177

All: [laughter, exclamations]

01:05:07,247 → 01:05:08,898

Meghan: You fucking Rinaldo this thing, and then...

01:05:08,898 → 01:05:10,808

Phil: Ah, so, that's going to be...

01:05:10,838 → 01:05:12,938

Maya: Ooh, a sports reference!

01:05:13,198 → 01:05:16,358

Phil: Uh, 12, 12 more bludgeoning damage as I like kick it.

01:05:17,138 → 01:05:18,278

Jamie: Jesus.

01:05:18,338 → 01:05:18,968

Meghan: Okay.

01:05:18,998 → 01:05:22,298

So that was 28 damage in one turn.

01:05:22,298 → 01:05:23,078

God damn.

01:05:23,588 → 01:05:27,198

Jesse: I'm like picturing that Kit misses with the first kick, like--

01:05:27,198 → 01:05:28,268

Maya: Just kicks again.

01:05:28,268 → 01:05:28,978

Jesse: He was like, "Augh!

01:05:28,978 → 01:05:29,058

Ugh!"

01:05:29,178 → 01:05:30,908

Maya: He gets a better wind up.

01:05:30,908 → 01:05:33,308

Meghan: [imitating Kit] "Wait a minute, I think I have time for one more attempt!"

01:05:34,208 → 01:05:35,018

Maya: No one saw that.

01:05:35,408 → 01:05:36,868

Meghan: Yeah, that was amazing.

01:05:36,868 → 01:05:40,598

Because yeah, you, you strike this thing with your sticks and

01:05:40,598 → 01:05:41,348

then it falls to the ground.

01:05:41,348 → 01:05:42,728

You kick it really hard.

01:05:42,728 → 01:05:44,158

And where does it, where do you push it to?

01:05:44,168 → 01:05:45,698

Because you have the ability to push it, right?

01:05:45,698 → 01:05:49,088

Phil: Yeah, I can push it like any-- five feet to any like unoccupied space.

01:05:49,118 → 01:05:54,038

I actually want to keep it-- I want to get it like out of-- Yeah, I want to--

01:05:54,068 → 01:05:57,778

Like for flavor, I'll say that I actually moved it on my kick, if that's okay.

01:05:58,078 → 01:05:58,568

Meghan: Mmhmm.

01:05:58,778 → 01:06:02,138

Phil: And I basically like kick it so that it's going like right in

01:06:02,138 → 01:06:04,448

front of Avilene's field of view.

01:06:04,928 → 01:06:07,588

So that's where I'm going to-- That's where I'm going to kick it.

01:06:07,588 → 01:06:08,568

It's stunned, so...

01:06:09,278 → 01:06:09,688

Meghan: Okay.

01:06:10,968 → 01:06:12,548

Jesse: That's, that's what I'm saying.

01:06:12,638 → 01:06:15,028

It's stunned, it's there, you do you.

01:06:15,188 → 01:06:16,538

Phil: Do what you want to do.

01:06:16,928 → 01:06:17,558

Jesse: But it's there.

01:06:18,698 → 01:06:19,718

Meghan: Stunning.

01:06:20,258 → 01:06:20,768

Okay.

01:06:20,858 → 01:06:21,578

Maya: Stunning.

01:06:21,658 → 01:06:22,768

Meghan: Stunning.

01:06:22,768 → 01:06:26,888

It is now Porla's turn and--

01:06:26,948 → 01:06:27,728

Maya: Come on, Porla!

01:06:27,848 → 01:06:32,708

Meghan: Porla is going to...

01:06:32,978 → 01:06:34,058

Maya: Make out with the statue.

01:06:35,878 → 01:06:36,158

All: [laughter]

01:06:36,738 → 01:06:37,398

Jesse: What?

01:06:37,398 → 01:06:38,708

Neda: Kiss the statue, real soft.

01:06:39,848 → 01:06:47,408

Meghan: Here's what's going to happen: Porla is going to look at Khabriel, who

01:06:47,408 → 01:06:51,758

is not doing great after being sucked on by that Wraith; is going to look at

01:06:51,758 → 01:06:55,298

Noriah, who despite having just killed the Wraith, is still looking, you know,

01:06:55,328 → 01:06:59,118

very roughed up, worse for wear, bloody nose and everything, and then Porla is

01:06:59,118 → 01:07:03,188

going to look at the statue and she's going to cast Cure Wounds on the statue.

01:07:05,318 → 01:07:05,708

Maya: Wow.

01:07:05,978 → 01:07:06,398

Okay.

01:07:06,488 → 01:07:07,568

Meghan: Second level.

01:07:07,688 → 01:07:09,218

Neda: I just give her a look.

01:07:09,278 → 01:07:11,948

I'm not even sure what the look is, but there is a look of like...

01:07:12,248 → 01:07:15,008

Meghan: It is going to be for 17 hit points.

01:07:15,008 → 01:07:19,438

So it is nearly back up to full, and you can see that as she sort of like

01:07:19,438 → 01:07:23,858

tenderly touches it, um, it seems to get some sort of its vigor back.

01:07:24,068 → 01:07:25,618

Winswip: Hey, Porla, I think you missed!

01:07:25,898 → 01:07:27,181

All: [laughter]

01:07:27,368 → 01:07:30,668

Meghan: And then as a bonus action, she's going to summon her spiritual

01:07:30,668 → 01:07:36,668

weapon, which is a giant spectral claw.

01:07:37,118 → 01:07:40,628

It just looks like a large, glowing, golden talon.

01:07:41,198 → 01:07:43,188

And it is going to--

01:07:43,188 → 01:07:46,538

Maya: Are we talking about like an eagle claw or a chicken claw, or...

01:07:46,628 → 01:07:48,378

Meghan: It is, it is a, an owl talon--

01:07:48,378 → 01:07:49,128

Maya: Oh, right, owl, yeah.

01:07:49,328 → 01:07:49,798

Meghan: --because she's--

01:07:49,798 → 01:07:50,798

Maya: You know what, that makes sense.

01:07:51,128 → 01:07:54,378

Meghan: And it is going to, um, attack the Remorhaz.

01:07:54,788 → 01:07:57,488

It is going to do so with advantage.

01:07:57,578 → 01:08:03,948

And it is going to hit, and it is going to do 11 damage to the Remorhaz.

01:08:03,968 → 01:08:08,138

So it's getting, it's getting clawed by this, this special golden claw as well.

01:08:08,978 → 01:08:12,188

It is now Avilene's turn.

01:08:13,448 → 01:08:13,838

Jamie: Okay.

01:08:13,898 → 01:08:19,688

So first things first, before I do anything else, I am going to

01:08:19,748 → 01:08:21,818

bonus action Healing Word myself.

01:08:22,238 → 01:08:22,538

Okay.

01:08:22,538 → 01:08:24,578

So I get 6 HP back.

01:08:24,668 → 01:08:25,928

So exciting.

01:08:25,928 → 01:08:28,008

I'm up to 13 now from 7.

01:08:28,328 → 01:08:29,408

Maya: Double digits, baby.

01:08:29,648 → 01:08:30,038

Jamie: Yep.

01:08:30,138 → 01:08:31,838

Love to be in double digits.

01:08:31,988 → 01:08:32,848

Feels safer.

01:08:33,308 → 01:08:42,698

And then I am going to Shillelagh cantrip and just hit the Strigoi in front of me.

01:08:42,728 → 01:08:46,798

So am I making that role with advantage because it's stunned?

01:08:47,298 → 01:08:47,638

Meghan: Mmhmm.

01:08:47,898 → 01:08:48,528

Jamie: Sexy.

01:08:48,578 → 01:08:49,058

Okay.

01:08:50,058 → 01:08:52,238

Really enjoying that I get to roll with advantage, because

01:08:52,238 → 01:08:53,618

one of those was a nat 1.

01:08:54,068 → 01:08:56,078

Um, but that is...

01:08:56,258 → 01:08:57,488

It's a 22 to hit.

01:08:58,238 → 01:08:59,138

Meghan: It does hit.

01:08:59,498 → 01:09:00,038

Jamie: Um, okay.

01:09:00,038 → 01:09:05,258

That is a big 6 magical damage to this Strigoi.

01:09:05,468 → 01:09:06,038

Meghan: Okay.

01:09:06,188 → 01:09:08,258

Kit: I know you can hit harder than that, Avilene!

01:09:08,888 → 01:09:10,992

All: [laughter]

01:09:11,128 → 01:09:11,368

Maya: Wow.

01:09:11,368 → 01:09:12,248

Salt in the wound.

01:09:14,078 → 01:09:16,348

Neda: Just negging Avilene to hit harder.

01:09:17,188 → 01:09:20,528

Meghan: Alright, so you feebly punch this thing that is just still on the ground.

01:09:20,528 → 01:09:24,318

And then everybody dunks on you relentlessly.

01:09:24,338 → 01:09:29,363

Jamie: I think I have like, I have like blood from the claw attack and

01:09:29,393 → 01:09:34,163

like acid dripping down my like ripped shirt, and it's like, the blood is

01:09:34,163 → 01:09:39,203

getting in my braid and I'm just feeling very, very frazzled right now.

01:09:39,773 → 01:09:41,483

Neda: And we're all like, "Boooo!"

01:09:41,703 → 01:09:43,383

Kit: I only meant--

01:09:43,683 → 01:09:43,773

Esther: Weak!

01:09:44,173 → 01:09:44,753

Kit: I only meant--

01:09:44,753 → 01:09:46,793

Winswip: Did you see what Noriah just did?

01:09:48,563 → 01:09:51,573

Kit: I mean, I just thought that you, you hit me back there.

01:09:52,543 → 01:09:52,653

Maya: Yeah.

01:09:52,966 → 01:09:54,216

All: [laughter]

01:09:54,333 → 01:09:57,623

Jamie: I take an Action Surge and I cast Erupting Earth and I bury everyone

01:09:57,623 → 01:09:59,223

underground for being mean to me.

01:09:59,456 → 01:10:01,249

All: [laughter]

01:10:01,339 → 01:10:02,573

Neda: End of campaign.

01:10:02,753 → 01:10:06,433

Meghan: Kit's going to now give a lecture to all the local youths on backpedaling.

01:10:06,435 → 01:10:09,688

[laughter]

01:10:09,883 → 01:10:12,373

Jamie: That's, that's all I can do this turn.

01:10:12,473 → 01:10:16,673

I can't command Addie to take a turn because I used my bonus

01:10:16,673 → 01:10:17,723

action to Healing Word myself.

01:10:18,203 → 01:10:19,793

So, um, yep.

01:10:19,853 → 01:10:20,423

That's it.

01:10:20,513 → 01:10:23,553

I just, I healed myself for 6 and then I hit for 6.

01:10:23,743 → 01:10:25,478

That's where we're at.

01:10:25,748 → 01:10:26,528

Maya: You're doing great.

01:10:27,128 → 01:10:29,028

Meghan: At this point, the Remorhaz's turn...

01:10:29,368 → 01:10:33,938

The Remorhaz is going to once again rear back and open its massive

01:10:33,938 → 01:10:38,158

toothy maw and it's going to come down as though to hit Brekx.

01:10:38,438 → 01:10:39,908

It does have disadvantage.

01:10:40,538 → 01:10:42,348

With disadvantage, it's still a hit.

01:10:42,378 → 01:10:44,318

Maya: Oh, wait, I can do something about this.

01:10:44,528 → 01:10:49,368

Winswip is going to use a Cloud Rune, which means when a creature-- you or a

01:10:49,388 → 01:10:53,228

creature you can see within 30 feet of you, which I'm pretty sure Brekx is,

01:10:53,288 → 01:10:57,518

now-- is hit by an attack roll, you can use your reaction to choose a different

01:10:57,518 → 01:11:01,448

creature other than the attacker within 30 feet of you to become the target.

01:11:01,478 → 01:11:01,838

Oh, wait.

01:11:01,898 → 01:11:03,458

There's-- The Wraith has gone now.

01:11:03,878 → 01:11:05,858

There's no other enemies within 30 feet of us, are there?

01:11:06,128 → 01:11:07,948

Meghan: You might be within 30 feet of a Strigoi.

01:11:07,968 → 01:11:08,498

Let me see.

01:11:09,218 → 01:11:09,698

Hmm.

01:11:09,758 → 01:11:10,688

Yeah, probably not.

01:11:10,748 → 01:11:11,798

Maya: I think I'll let this one go.

01:11:11,798 → 01:11:15,338

I think, I think Winswip starts to use her rune, looks around, and realizes

01:11:15,338 → 01:11:19,998

that there's nowhere else for it to go and drops her arms in defeat.

01:11:20,648 → 01:11:21,048

Meghan: Alright.

01:11:21,068 → 01:11:24,998

So we are going to see it, uh, attack Brekx and...

01:11:25,778 → 01:11:25,988

Okay.

01:11:25,988 → 01:11:36,158

It's going to do 20 piercing and 7 fire to Brekx, and Brekx had exactly 27.

01:11:36,368 → 01:11:38,008

Neda: Oh my god, that was me a couple turns ago.

01:11:38,468 → 01:11:40,538

Meghan: You see Brekx get chomped on.

01:11:40,538 → 01:11:41,858

Brekx falls.

01:11:42,488 → 01:11:46,658

And so it would have been Brekx's turn next, but, uh, they are down

01:11:47,258 → 01:11:49,098

and it is now Khabriel's turn.

01:11:49,118 → 01:11:49,898

You see Khabriel--

01:11:49,898 → 01:11:50,788

Neda: Come on, Khabriel.

01:11:51,458 → 01:11:56,948

Meghan: You see Khabriel look at Porla and look at the statue and say,

01:11:57,508 → 01:11:58,838

Khabriel: Porla, I'm sorry, I--

01:11:59,448 → 01:12:05,108

Meghan: And command the statue to sort of fly full speed at the Remorhaz.

01:12:05,748 → 01:12:12,098

And you see the statue lift up into the air, bolt like a projectile

01:12:12,128 → 01:12:17,603

into the Remorhaz's mouth, and then you see-- As it makes contact,

01:12:17,723 → 01:12:20,843

you see a strange thing happen.

01:12:20,873 → 01:12:25,493

You see Khabriel recoil a little bit as though in pain.

01:12:26,243 → 01:12:31,793

And you can sense that, you know, you can kind of tell when someone is

01:12:31,793 → 01:12:34,913

magically controlling something, just most of you are magic users and you

01:12:34,913 → 01:12:37,943

know what it looks like when someone is magically animating something.

01:12:37,973 → 01:12:41,123

You see that connection falter and crack a little bit.

01:12:41,243 → 01:12:46,673

And then you see Khabriel get knocked back onto his ass, like 10 feet away.

01:12:46,673 → 01:12:53,123

And the statue explodes into a bajillion little tiny shards, which, inside the

01:12:53,123 → 01:12:55,793

Remorhaz's mouth, takes it out easily.

01:12:55,853 → 01:12:59,243

It's a massive explosion inside of something.

01:12:59,243 → 01:13:03,713

So it's pretty gory, but it just eventually-- Most of it's contained,

01:13:03,953 → 01:13:06,893

and it just kind of flops down with a massive earth-shaking thud

01:13:07,613 → 01:13:11,543

and you just hear Porla wail,

01:13:11,826 → 01:13:13,463

Porla: "NOOOOOOO!"

01:13:13,953 → 01:13:16,868

Meghan: And that takes care of that.

01:13:16,868 → 01:13:21,428

So at this point, you've just got this stunned Strigoi on the ground.

01:13:21,838 → 01:13:23,078

Neda: Someone take it out of its misery.

01:13:23,528 → 01:13:24,128

Phil: Wait, wait.

01:13:24,368 → 01:13:28,838

Um, if we do take it out, I don't want to destroy the body.

01:13:29,438 → 01:13:34,658

I want to see if there's any kind of marking or like anything on it to sort of

01:13:34,658 → 01:13:37,478

indicate if something was controlling it.

01:13:37,748 → 01:13:39,098

Neda: No one explode this thing.

01:13:39,308 → 01:13:40,738

Meghan: Next in the order is Winswip.

01:13:41,018 → 01:13:41,308

Maya: Yeah.

01:13:41,308 → 01:13:44,708

Winswip is reeling from a lot of what just happened.

01:13:44,708 → 01:13:48,368

She sees Brekx fall and instantly regrets not actually using her Cloud Rune and

01:13:48,368 → 01:13:50,048

redirecting the damage to herself.

01:13:50,138 → 01:13:54,248

Um, and I'm just too slow, just too rusty, too slow.

01:13:54,788 → 01:14:00,928

And then this happens and, you know, immediate flashback to the last time

01:14:01,068 → 01:14:06,293

Khiron-- a Khiron lookalike, which was actually Khiron-- sacrificed herself

01:14:06,293 → 01:14:08,993

to do big damage to the big monster.

01:14:09,203 → 01:14:11,913

The Remorhaz is fully gone now, though, right?

01:14:12,153 → 01:14:14,903

Meghan: It's on the ground, still kind of half in and half out of

01:14:14,903 → 01:14:16,063

the ground, but it is, it is dead.

01:14:16,063 → 01:14:16,673

Maya: But it's dead.

01:14:16,823 → 01:14:17,273

Okay.

01:14:17,513 → 01:14:19,223

So there's nothing to hit basically.

01:14:19,223 → 01:14:20,753

And that's what she's good for.

01:14:21,233 → 01:14:25,733

She will just, yeah, she'll look over and see what Kit and

01:14:25,803 → 01:14:27,413

Avilene are up to, I guess.

01:14:28,163 → 01:14:35,633

And I think she'll, uh, this is stupid-- I think she's just going

01:14:35,633 → 01:14:38,143

to use her one Levitate of the day--

01:14:38,773 → 01:14:40,596

All: [laughter]

01:14:40,693 → 01:14:41,443

Neda: Still big!

01:14:41,883 → 01:14:42,713

Maya: --to get over to them.

01:14:42,713 → 01:14:42,893

Yeah.

01:14:42,923 → 01:14:44,013

A big, big levitate.

01:14:44,203 → 01:14:44,673

Um...

01:14:44,803 → 01:14:45,733

Neda: Big levitate!

01:14:45,733 → 01:14:50,813

Maya: Just the wind and just like pushes herself off to get back over

01:14:50,813 → 01:14:52,883

that platform and over to them.

01:14:52,983 → 01:14:53,433

Meghan: Alright.

01:14:53,453 → 01:14:55,463

So Winswip, you levitate over.

01:14:55,523 → 01:14:58,613

Maya: Yeah, I think she's just going to-- Because nothing is happening right now,

01:14:58,823 → 01:15:02,333

but she can see that they're still dealing with this and Avilene looks pretty bad.

01:15:02,633 → 01:15:06,113

And so Winswip just wants to get over there and then just

01:15:06,113 → 01:15:07,943

be ready in case it wakes up.

01:15:08,483 → 01:15:08,903

Meghan: All right.

01:15:09,173 → 01:15:11,933

After that, it is the Strigoi's is turn and the Strigoi is stunned.

01:15:11,963 → 01:15:13,103

So it can't really do anything.

01:15:13,103 → 01:15:16,223

So we're going to skip it for now, and it is now Esther's turn.

01:15:16,643 → 01:15:17,093

Jesse: Cool.

01:15:17,513 → 01:15:19,523

Esther is going to--

01:15:19,763 → 01:15:20,033

Maya: Sorry.

01:15:20,033 → 01:15:20,843

Sorry, sorry.

01:15:20,903 → 01:15:24,443

Um, I just want to just-- I'm just putting myself in the moment real quick.

01:15:24,443 → 01:15:27,788

Winswip will just be-- will definitely shout at Porla, like,

01:15:27,988 → 01:15:28,548

Winswip: Get them up!

01:15:28,658 → 01:15:30,428

Maya: Pointing to Brekx before she goes.

01:15:32,888 → 01:15:35,378

I'm sure she, I'm sure she's not the only one yelling that, but, you know.

01:15:37,048 → 01:15:42,848

Jesse: Esther is going to walk over to the, uh, Strigoi that is just laying

01:15:42,848 → 01:15:50,948

on the ground, and he is going to put both of his hands around it and just

01:15:50,948 → 01:15:53,588

do Shocking Grasp like through it.

01:15:54,088 → 01:15:55,668

All: [laughter, gasps]

01:15:56,478 → 01:16:00,698

Jesse: And I think-- And Fink-- And Fink is like next to him, just like

01:16:00,728 → 01:16:07,988

barking like madly at this little shit while it lays on the ground.

01:16:08,588 → 01:16:14,088

So that's a, uh, so, uh, 19 plus 7 to hit.

01:16:14,298 → 01:16:15,548

So 26.

01:16:15,698 → 01:16:15,818

Meghan: Yup.

01:16:15,898 → 01:16:17,438

Phil: Remember you do get advantage.

01:16:18,118 → 01:16:22,268

Jesse: Oh, yeah, I rolled-- okay, well, I already rolled with the help cause

01:16:22,268 → 01:16:24,548

of the, um, oh, cause of my familiar.

01:16:24,578 → 01:16:24,918

Phil: That's right.

01:16:25,108 → 01:16:28,028

Neda: We're all angry now, it's good.

01:16:28,358 → 01:16:30,658

Jesse: So that's 11 lightning damage.

01:16:30,758 → 01:16:34,218

Meghan: You send sparks through your hands and you electrocute this thing.

01:16:34,218 → 01:16:34,748

[electrical zapping]

01:16:34,748 → 01:16:37,838

Meghan: And as the magic dissipates, you see that it's still kind of

01:16:37,838 → 01:16:42,188

flailing feebly, but definitely a lot more scorched than before.

01:16:42,248 → 01:16:43,178

Phil: Fuck this thing.

01:16:43,628 → 01:16:44,998

Meghan: The smell of burning bat fills the air.

01:16:44,998 → 01:16:46,448

Neda: God, it's still fucking up.

01:16:46,448 → 01:16:47,748

Jesse: How is it still fucking alive?

01:16:47,748 → 01:16:50,418

Do I want to waste a fucking sorcery point on this?

01:16:50,418 → 01:16:50,908

Maya: [whispered] Do it!

01:16:50,908 → 01:16:52,028

Neda: Assuming this is--

01:16:52,318 → 01:16:52,728

Jesse: The end?

01:16:52,758 → 01:16:53,398

Neda: --the end.

01:16:53,858 → 01:16:54,248

Jesse: Okay.

01:16:54,248 → 01:16:57,488

Yeah, I'll just, I'm going to do Quicken spell again so I can

01:16:58,208 → 01:16:59,948

fucking just end this thing.

01:17:00,488 → 01:17:01,908

Or frickin' try to.

01:17:02,948 → 01:17:04,578

Neda: This is where we get the narrative crit.

01:17:04,838 → 01:17:07,508

Jesse: Esther like sees that it's still alive and is like,

01:17:09,328 → 01:17:09,408

Esther: Ugh...

01:17:09,998 → 01:17:13,938

[imitates electrical buzzing]

01:17:13,988 → 01:17:14,398

All: [laughter]

01:17:15,958 → 01:17:17,638

Jesse: Uh, 17.

01:17:17,718 → 01:17:18,038

Meghan: Mmhmm.

01:17:18,218 → 01:17:18,568

That'll hit.

01:17:19,408 → 01:17:21,758

Jesse: Please die, you fricking little shit.

01:17:21,758 → 01:17:25,778

[rolls] Uh, 10 lightning damage.

01:17:26,138 → 01:17:26,468

Meghan: Yeah.

01:17:26,498 → 01:17:29,978

Describe for me how you take out this Strigoi, you know, being mindful of-- I

01:17:29,978 → 01:17:32,558

don't know if you want to kill it, you can kill it, but you guys had sort of talked

01:17:32,558 → 01:17:33,908

about like preserving the body, so...

01:17:34,328 → 01:17:35,438

Neda: Just don't fry it too much.

01:17:35,978 → 01:17:40,748

Jesse: Yeah, I think it just is like the lightning just like zigzags all around it.

01:17:40,898 → 01:17:44,768

It's-- It is like, just trying to like suffocate it, but like with lightning.

01:17:44,768 → 01:17:46,568

Phil: So you're like fucking up it's heart, right?

01:17:46,598 → 01:17:46,778

Like--

01:17:46,778 → 01:17:49,768

Jesse: Yeah, it's just like, I think it's just like all of the--

01:17:49,768 → 01:17:50,888

Meghan: You're just euthanizing it.

01:17:51,038 → 01:17:51,248

Jesse: Yeah.

01:17:51,248 → 01:17:54,728

You could just like-- All of the rage that Esther has felt, you know,

01:17:54,758 → 01:17:59,618

like maybe like a pretty quiet, not showing a lot of emotion on his face,

01:17:59,888 → 01:18:02,588

but just like incredibly tense hands.

01:18:02,918 → 01:18:07,928

And then I think the second that it dies, Fink just like disappears,

01:18:08,208 → 01:18:14,708

like that, and he just like stands up and just hands it to Kit.

01:18:15,038 → 01:18:15,278

Kit: Yeah.

01:18:15,758 → 01:18:16,658

Esther: Figure this thing out.

01:18:16,868 → 01:18:19,148

Kit: We'll see what we can see.

01:18:19,868 → 01:18:23,449

Winswip: They have our blood, the other ones that got away.

01:18:23,686 → 01:18:26,716

Meghan: And as you all stand there, the adrenaline of battle still

01:18:26,716 → 01:18:31,546

rushing through your veins, you look around and you see your former party

01:18:31,546 → 01:18:35,236

mates covered in blood and ice.

01:18:35,716 → 01:18:36,886

It finally hits you.

01:18:37,696 → 01:18:39,976

You really are right back where you started.

01:18:40,846 → 01:18:43,106

Now, the question is: why?

01:18:43,356 → 01:18:44,816

[theme music begins]

01:18:44,816 → 01:18:45,846

Meghan: And that's where we'll end our episode.

01:18:45,846 → 01:18:50,886

[theme music plays]

01:18:53,142 → 01:18:53,708

Meghan: Hi everyone.

01:18:53,716 → 01:18:54,436

It's me, Meghan.

01:18:54,496 → 01:18:57,606

Sorry if I sound a little hoarse, I just did a bunch of retakes of Porla

01:18:57,676 → 01:19:00,376

screaming and I'm now realizing I should've done this first and that

01:19:00,376 → 01:19:02,206

second, but you know, live and learn.
