SE07 EP10 - A Spray of Rainbow

[00:00:02] Speaker A: Welcome, friends and adventurers to another episode of Dungeons and Blaggards. I am the dungeon Master, Robulon. Joining me in no particular order are the players. Brandon! [00:00:16] Speaker B: I am Ekurook Punschley, half orc blood hunter, Level 10, Dark Lord. [00:00:24] Speaker A: Eric! [00:00:25] Speaker C: I play Dr. Zozo Brightfeather, Level 10 Aarakocra artificer potionsmith. [00:00:32] Speaker D: Caleb! [00:00:34] Speaker E: I'm Kaitoa Tata. I'm a level 10 warforged barbarian. [00:00:40] Speaker A: Tomo! [00:00:41] Speaker G: Hey there. I'm playing Steve Tehuman. I am a human Gloomstalker Ranger, level six, Battle Master Fighter, level three. And a little bit of Rogue, level one. Vale! [00:00:56] Speaker H: I am playing Johawk. He is a gnoll champion fighter and totem warrior barbarian. [00:01:05] Speaker I: Hey, I'm Braeden. I'm playing half elf Beleg Dygar, hexblade warlock. [00:01:20] Speaker A: And now, the continuation of Dungeons and Blaggards. As the party looks over on the scene. Here you guys are equidistant facing the wizards. [00:01:36] Speaker G: Johawk is probably on the balcony where the chain is because he's still feigning that he's wearing that. [00:01:42] Speaker F: I guess Steve is kind of doing the same thing. [00:01:47] Speaker A: Right, Steve? As you keep on playing the charade, a bit of being one of the shackled in the brass anklets. What are you thinking? [00:01:59] Speaker F: Well, I think with Minty so close by, he's trying to. Trying to remain focused, trying to remember his teaching from RS, who always, always told him to focus and to understand the situation ahead of him as best he can to anticipate. But yeah, there's a little bit of a sort of a soft memory of his time in that village. A younger Minty. So kind of just checking everyone up every once in a while to see what her reaction is to this whole situation. [00:02:40] Speaker I: As you look back towards the pews, the assembled student body of wizards. Yes, there is Minty Selaine looking very solemn near the vacant space where the minotaur with the hourglass where Raymer was sort of disappeared. [00:03:00] Speaker F: I figure any extra bit of information that I give them, they're pretty good at figuring things out. They're smart people. [00:03:09] Speaker I: Okay, Johawk, what is going through the Gnoll's mind now? [00:03:17] Speaker G: Johawk is thinking about how these wizards killed an entire generation of his people. He's thinking about how this trial is not really a trial because there's no fighting. His eyes are on the chain that is extending from a pole equidistant between the two towers. [00:03:39] Speaker I: It's an immovable rod out there that the chains are hung from. [00:03:45] Speaker G: Yeah, the fact that the chain can extend from one one tower to. You know, it didn't go anywhere when the goat fell down. So he's thinking if things go sour, that's what he's gonna use. [00:04:04] Speaker I: Okay, kaitoa, what is kaitoa thinking in your ancient metal mind? [00:04:13] Speaker E: Just knowing that something's basically gonna attack us fairly soon. Like, I've been in enough situations where, yeah, we're kind of cornered. I don't like to be cornered. So I'm just gonna kind of ready myself. Watching towards the exit, kind of as Zozo was doing, wondering, like, if I have to jump out this window, who can I take with me? Kind of thought, so, yeah, I'm just going to use it to kind of ready myself and just kind of observe. I'm going to stand on the edge of the room kind of. I know everyone's in a line. I'm just going to stand kind of at the wall at the end of the pew and just kind of where I can see the whole room. [00:04:53] Speaker I: Okay. There is the muttering of Nim. And he had that huge bump of red frog. And although the party was winning his favor, it seemed like at that same moment that Ossifer slammed. What? How many healing popos did Ossifer slam in full view of the party? [00:05:20] Speaker F: so far? [00:05:21] Speaker G: Two. [00:05:21] Speaker F: Two in. Yeah. [00:05:23] Speaker I: Mm. And then finally, Yllato, angelic just stands there in their very strange headdress and the bell that is suspended above their head. And then with the light of the sun coming down through the morning here, it's about 11:10 here. Still quite a while to noon. All of her clothes and the clerics and the priests around her are kind of backlit. And so it's quite an imposing view that the party looks at here. [00:05:59] Speaker E: Steve, you should try and put a dagger on that guy's books. When he smacks his face, [00:06:06] Speaker F: stick it right to his head. [00:06:10] Speaker E: Just drops all of a sudden. [00:06:14] Speaker F: Just time it out. Right as he hits himself in the face. Whap the dagger. [00:06:21] Speaker J: Just start launching. Whatever magic you feel through Corge's wand, just start firing. You have no idea what's going on. Just go for it. [00:06:32] Speaker F: On some level, Steve kind of feels responsible for the fact that Corge. For the death of Corge. [00:06:38] Speaker F: Yeah, yeah. It's kind of bummed out, sort of. [00:06:44] Speaker G: If they hadn't made peace, Corge was going to be the first one to go when Johawk got. Got a word [00:06:52] Speaker F: and try to fucking eat him [00:06:58] Speaker I: next. What is going through Beleg's head right now? You know, as you also remember that buzz in your satchel during brunch. [00:07:13] Speaker J: His mind's racing a little bit. He's wondering what the fuck is gonna happen to everybody in here. He's hating Scarlet Pimpernel. He's thinking about his dream, and he's trying to figure out the best way to utilize that stone of sparse Sparfeach that's in his pocket. There's a whole lot on his mind. [00:07:40] Speaker I: Okay, next in line. Zozo, what is your character thinking in this moment? [00:07:48] Speaker D: I think she's just kind of taking things in. She's pretty angry about the accusation that she betrayed her caravan, but I think she's just kind of observing and looking, waiting to try to figure out an angle, some kind of advantage of what the situation is. I think she's also just kind of keeping an eye on the exits, just in case. [00:08:16] Speaker I: Okay, a quick check on the exits. Dr. Zozo. As you remember, hatch up to level 31, where the Dansion is clearly going to be disappearing in like half an hour to an hour maximum. Then another hatch down to level 30, which you assume and know to be a level full of venomous spiders. And then of course, the big 20 foot aperture onto the brass balcony of the Noontime room. Rook. [00:08:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:46] Speaker I: As you stand there fuming at Pompous Pimpernel, what is going through your mind in this moment? [00:08:55] Speaker B: He's thinking about secretly. He's always had in the back of his mind that the Wizard's Guild was responsible for his family and his father's disappearance and everything that's happened leading up to him leaving to find out what happened to them. So he's just kind of staring at them after he had his exchange and conversed with them somewhat prodding them to give him more information, but also surveying the room, seeing what, you know, kind of keeping an eye on what everybody else is doing. [00:09:33] Speaker I: Okay, at the moment, that agenda, that wet, crumpled agenda that Nim was holding passes to Ossifer, who seems quite invigorated and his cadence of speech is noticeably faster. He begins reciting some words aloud and says, any other punishments, proclamations for the magic learners? And none of the kids speak up. O Pompous Pimpernel, this is not your trial only. Mem is on trial and these six are the accomplices. [00:10:37] Speaker B: Accomplices to what? [00:10:39] Speaker I: Oh, put me in the Circle of Truth. Ooh, I'm pleased to. And Mem, you know, seems to be displaying a bit of disdain for the seriousness here. Rook, no one answers your question. As Pompous Pimpernel raises a chubby finger and says, Lords of Polb, they called them. And the gullible people of Polb believed them. I see no lords here. They haven't even declared who speaks for them. [00:11:22] Speaker B: Excuse me, but I am definitely a lord, and I want my question answered. Accomplices to what? [00:11:31] Speaker I: Well, before the proceedings get underway, Prince Punschley. A prince is only a prince if his father is king. You're neither lord nor noble, nor owner, nor restauranteur, nor quartermaster. Oh, the things I've taken over. Oh, you're going to hate the fuck out of me. [00:11:59] Speaker J: I'm glad we scuttled your boat. [00:12:02] Speaker I: What was that? Half elf? I loved that boat. And in fact, I have something of yours. And something's coming out of the dimension door. Beleg, Steve and Zozo. Your hearts drop as you see a crate that is coming out. [00:12:27] Speaker J: Oh, no. [00:12:30] Speaker I: Can everybody roll a history check? Everybody in the party except for Joe [00:12:35] Speaker F: Steve knows what it is [00:12:37] Speaker J: That frozen elf that we failed to hide well enough. What do I have? [00:12:43] Speaker B: That's 11. [00:12:45] Speaker J: Okay. Minus one 14. Okay, [00:12:47] Speaker D: that's 13. [00:12:49] Speaker I: Right. [00:12:51] Speaker J: roll a 20. [00:12:53] Speaker F: What's that I need to roll? [00:12:56] Speaker I: Well, you know. You know, automatically, it's. It is a chest, but it's not the chest that you guys have left in Maw slung under the [00:13:08] Speaker F: the danger room, is it? The Danger Room chest. [00:13:11] Speaker I: Steve, I will award you inspiration. [00:13:15] Speaker F: Oh, now you're gonna die for now that you went into my Danger Room. That's my room. [00:13:21] Speaker I: Oh, the poncho boy speaks. Look at the pair on this little tadpole. [00:13:32] Speaker F: I have a rock in hand. Like, not a big one, but like, just a nice little sized one. And I want to put it right off his forehead. There's too much smug. I'm not gonna. It's not gonna kill him, but it's gonna shut his face up. [00:13:46] Speaker I: Rube, allow us to request a scroll. And Rube starts to create a scroll. It is passed outside of the gelatinous form of Rube, and it is passed along by. Oh, look, it looks like they're employing Dante the Messenger as, like, you know, a court runner. So he runs the scroll over to Pompous Pimpernel, and Pompous Pimpernel says, I have here in one hand a description of one Bahrtio, who I know will open this chest. Allow me to read it, High Magi? You may annunciate the spell of disguise self. And all of a sudden, Pompous Pimpernel reads the words on the sheet and is in the appearance of Bahrtio. And there's a little flash. And all of a sudden as this disguise changes to see Bahrtio there, he walks up to the crate and he begins to look at the crate and says, hey box, it's me, Bahrtio. Open up. [00:15:18] Speaker F: That's nowhere near as good as I, Steve. [00:15:23] Speaker I: And the lid pops open and little bits of the shipping crate fall onto the floor. And this dusty chest reveals... Beleg and Zozo - what do you think's in there? [00:15:35] Speaker E: Empty calories and male curiosity. Hey, Stevie boy? [00:15:46] Speaker I: Well, party. I mean, [00:15:47] Speaker N: oh man, I don't remember [00:15:49] Speaker J: them either. [00:15:50] Speaker I: Well, if you're not gonna tell the rest of the party, it'll be everyone who discovers at the same time that part of the party has a secret fortune. And this is the voice of Pimpernel. Now that I've opened the box, I can change out and come back to my asshole self. Ho ho ho ho. Make sure somebody put a little doily over the brass eye of the stupid pet mimic chest. Now let's see what's in here. Oh. 4,000 gold in cast ingot bars. [00:16:29] Speaker F: Can I knock the doily off the chest so that it mauls him? [00:16:34] Speaker I: You are thinking about that, Steve. You know, you're not far away. And party. There is also a stench. A poison cloud fills the room. This is a noxious fume. Can everybody roll a constitution Saving throw? [00:16:52] Speaker G: Pretty decent 20 con save. [00:16:56] Speaker F: That's not good. [00:16:59] Speaker O: Very bad. [00:17:00] Speaker F: Yeah, I'm the. I'm the one with the sensitive smell too. [00:17:06] Speaker D: Rolled a 16. [00:17:07] Speaker B: Yeah, 16 for rec too. [00:17:10] Speaker P: Zozo knows the poison gas when she sees them. [00:17:12] Speaker I: Yep. Steve [00:17:13] Speaker F: got like a four. [00:17:16] Speaker J: Probably got a five. [00:17:18] Speaker E: Robin, I got a 17. [00:17:20] Speaker I: Seventeen. Okay. [00:17:22] Speaker F: I think Steve is like. Because it's his chest, he's so invested in it that he just got a full sneeze. [00:17:27] Speaker G: Would Zozo have time to throw a quick fortifying fumes before the. When she saw the. The poison? [00:17:34] Speaker I: Oh yeah. Get some vapo rub in there for the party. You can sure try. Okay. [00:17:39] Speaker D: One plus three for sleight of hand. [00:17:45] Speaker I: It breaks at your feet. And the party's gonna receive all the benefits of the fortifying fumes in this moment, in the exact moment. It is a wave of vomit. Of decaying vomit smell all around this gold and Steve and Beleg and Zozo. You do remember old Oldfoot, drunk as a sailor, vomiting in the mimic chest, pretending to paddle a canoe in his own vomit. Half the party does not know about this. [00:18:25] Speaker J: Can I identify it? [00:18:30] Speaker F: Oh, that's Oldfoot Most of the room is reacting with their hands over their faces, even the three high Magi have been momentarily stunned. What are you doing? [00:18:51] Speaker B: I got a question, Rob. Is the kid wizard who we've asked to do a potion of. Wasn't it Fog? Is he doing anything? [00:19:02] Speaker I: If somebody would simply just say my name, I'd help you. [00:19:07] Speaker D: Dustbin. [00:19:08] Speaker E: Yeah, [00:19:10] Speaker I: Kaitoa. [00:19:11] Speaker E: Yeah, me and Dustbin. [00:19:12] Speaker I: Kaitoa, Dustbin is right behind you. He holds up clearly now. He's thumbed through his book. He's clearly got a prepared spell. [00:19:20] Speaker E: I look at Dustbin, look at the party and like wait for like someone to give me a nod. [00:19:26] Speaker B: I'll nod. [00:19:27] Speaker E: Okay. I look at Dustbin and I'm like. I mouth like. [00:19:32] Speaker I: You want him to blow off the doily? [00:19:35] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:19:36] Speaker I: Could you roll persuasion? [00:19:39] Speaker E: Yes. Not 20. Oh yeah. [00:19:45] Speaker I: Well, wow. Somehow you communicate this perfectly to the little gnoll pup wizard. [00:19:51] Speaker E: Yeah, I just give a little like, like someone. A magician pulling a handkerchief out and then I just give a little like, like a blown kiss, like. [00:20:01] Speaker I: Oh, I get it. Okay. What's the word? [00:20:06] Speaker J: Fabulous. [00:20:07] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:20:09] Speaker I: Okay. And Beleg you kind of side mouth the line as well. Okay, so you have your trigger word and the little gnoll pup nods. And he's ready. And you can see him, Kaitoa, training his eyes, training his aim. [00:20:23] Speaker F: Rob, I am readying my battle master attack with the stone. I don't want to do damage, but I want to trip the guy into the manic chest. When this happens, when I'm watching the like, I'm watching the cues and I'm. I'm understanding what's happening. [00:20:47] Speaker I: Roll that perception with modifiers. [00:20:50] Speaker F: Yeah. That is a 13 plus 10 for 23. [00:20:55] Speaker I: Okay. The king of leveraging anything into perception. [00:21:03] Speaker F: Hey, I'm watching the tells, [00:21:06] Speaker I: You see what could be a moment, a clutch moment. Rest of the party as the vomit smell now dissipates. And now at least there's a breeze out today. So it does clear the room out. A couple of the kids are coughing in the back and Ossifer sits up very straight and Pompous Pimpernel wipes his nose with a purple handkerchief and is just beaming at the party and says, 40 heads for 4000 Gold. Beleg Dygar, I can place you in many places where people were led to their abduction, but none more incriminating than the ambush at Hemlock Vale. All the evidence points towards you orchestrating and even overseeing and observing the murder of most merchants and the abduction of magic users. Do you deny it? Oh wait. Pick a lawyer. Dum dum. [00:22:24] Speaker E: Excuse me, what is a lawyer? I thought a trial. You fight people. And you seem like the kind that needs to be fought. [00:22:31] Speaker E: Excuse me, Pompous. It'd be fabulous if you could lend me that handkerchief. [00:22:39] Speaker I: In that moment, a gust of wind blasts past Kaitoa. And Johawk. You are answered in just the last breath. You do hear Ossifer say trial by combat is available. And he is interrupted as the doily is moved half an inch over the brass eye. It's still covering half the brass eye. The gust of wind has not drawn attention. But the doily remains. [00:23:18] Speaker F: Can I. Can I use one of my rocks to. To finish the job? The doily job? [00:23:25] Speaker I: You can certainly try. So in this moment, you're gonna try winding up? Okay. [00:23:29] Speaker B: I'm gonna cast while this is going on - cast Unseen Servant. [00:23:35] Speaker I: You guys are just outside of that anti magic realm. And you guys are just outside of the perimeter of that Zone of Truth which lasts all of 10 minutes. So you're gonna try and wave that unseen servant into the room. What'd you get, Stevo? [00:23:52] Speaker F: It's to hit the doily. That is 18 plus 7. 25. [00:24:00] Speaker I:No problem. And you chuck this. What? Like a pebble? Like a little gargoyle pebble? [00:24:05] Speaker F: Yeah, yeah. They're not for damage. They're for effect. [00:24:08] Speaker I: Okay. It pings off the brass eye and is just enough to get that doily to get swept away in the gust of wind. And also just enough to send the Mimic chest's lid slamming shut right onto Pompous Pimpernel's hands. He screams. He was not in the guise of Bahrtio. He had turned the disguise self spell off. And the Mimic chest begins to rattle and rumble. [00:24:49] Speaker B: I think I'm gonna get the unseen servant to grab the doily. [00:24:53] Speaker I: Your unseen servant. They grabbed the doily. Rest of the party. What are you doing now? [00:25:03] Speaker J: Looks like you guys need a new lawyer. This one lost a hand. Recess. [00:25:09] Speaker E: Yeah, were both his hands in it or just one? [00:25:12] Speaker Q: Oh, both my hands were at the edge of the chest! [00:25:18] Speaker F: Is the chest just like it's just snap shut? Or is it opening up for another attack? [00:25:23] Speaker I: It has. [00:25:24] Speaker B: I'm gonna have that doily brought to me. [00:25:26] Speaker I: Okay. It has snapped shut. Rook - you have the doily back in your possession. The guy on the couch is super quick here in this bullet time moment. And as all the attention is on the mimic. Yeah, whoever asked that? I think it was Steve. I mean the mimic. It is totally starting to morph and transform as teeth, jagged teeth appear on what was before the soft eased edge of the mimic chest. [00:25:54] Speaker F: Can I knock him into the chest? I want to knock him into the chest so badly. That's my Danger Room chest. [00:26:03] Speaker B: Is there anything on the doily as I analyze it that I guess information or that we should be aware of or. [00:26:10] Speaker I: So it is a little knit doily. One of the doilies offered up by one of the clerics of Jebda. Like it has the insignia of a bell on it. It seems totally mundane, like this was just something at hand to go over the eye of the mimic. [00:26:30] Speaker J: Hey, Rob, while this is going on, can Beleg investigate the priests of Jebda? [00:26:37] Speaker I: What do you want to roll on them? Investigation? [00:26:39] Speaker J: Yeah. See if they are not what they seem. [00:26:42] Speaker I: Okay. Zozo, what are you doing? [00:26:48] Speaker F: Assemble a gun. We're gonna start fighting. [00:26:50] Speaker G: Yeah, I think maybe she's gonna use the commotion as cover to start to open her sack up and put the thunder cannon together. She'll kind of slip behind the others. [00:27:03] Speaker I: Okay. What did we have you rolling? Beleg Investigation. How'd you do? [00:27:09] Speaker J: Rolled a natural one. [00:27:12] Speaker I: Yeah. You gained nothing. And in fact, you are fixated on so many other aspects of that waking dream where Leah made an appearance. Leah who works with Mem at the Wizard and Spear. So, yeah, Beleg as you look at the clerics and priests of Jebda, you are thrown off of your thoughts completely. Dr. Zozo beside you rustles into her rucksack. And can you roll, I guess, a sleight of hand? Or are you like, trying to speed assemble this thing? [00:27:49] Speaker D: I think stealthy. [00:27:50] Speaker I: Okay, stealthy Roll a stealth - sleight of hand. [00:27:54] Speaker M: I rolled an eight. [00:27:56] Speaker I: Oh. The party in this moment is just doing its best to capitalize on the chaos of the moment. One of the stone fleshlight silencers falls onto the floor and kind of cracks and crumbles. Steve? [00:28:13] Speaker F: I want to whale another rock and use one of my battle master maneuvers to knock this bastard off off kilter and have him fall into the chest. [00:28:25] Speaker I: Roll on AC on Pompous Pimpernel. [00:28:31] Speaker F: Okay. And so again, I don't wanna. I don't want to deal with damage, but I just want to like, trip his ass into that thing. Okay, 17 plus 9 for 20. [00:28:46] Speaker I: You hit him. Okay. And then what is it again? Trip attack. That's been a while on a hit. Expend a die to knock target down. [00:28:56] Speaker I: Oh, no. If large or smaller, take a strength saver. Fall prone. [00:29:00] Speaker I: Fall prone [00:29:02] Speaker F: yeah. [00:29:03] Speaker I: He falls to his knees and the force of his own weight rends all of his digits off, all of his fingers are pulled off. And the mimic gleefully is chewing on these little sausages. [00:29:22] Speaker F: But he doesn't. He doesn't fall into the mimic? [00:29:25] Speaker I: Well, no, the mimic's chewing away. So he's kneeling, crouching beside the mimic here. And so Pompous Pimpernel, no fingers. Looks like he's got his thumbs, but all eight fingers are gone. So the next in the line, Rook. [00:29:43] Speaker B: How far away is pompous? [00:29:46] Speaker I: 15ft. [00:29:47] Speaker B: Okay, I'm gonna swiftly run up and do my famous poison spray straight up his nostril [00:29:57] Speaker E: and we're fighting. [00:30:02] Speaker I: Now your poison spray. Would he roll a saving throw? [00:30:06] Speaker B: He will need a saving throw. Yes. Yep. [00:30:10] Speaker I: Seven. [00:30:12] Speaker B: Yeah, it's gonna be a 16. Poison. [00:30:16] Speaker I: That's full damage [00:30:17] Speaker B: total. [00:30:18] Speaker I: One. It's [00:30:19] Speaker B: two. It's two D12s. So it's a. I got a full 12 and a four. [00:30:23] Speaker I: Okay, bro. Can you describe how you cover that distance in moments? And it's still all in this moment now of Pompous Pimpernel screaming. So how do you deliver this poison punch? [00:30:36] Speaker B: I'm gonna run up there and just jam my hand right in his two nostrils and just spray it straight up there and say, who's the noble now? [00:30:53] Speaker I: He is screaming [00:30:58] Speaker D: who's got two thumbs and a face full of poison? [00:31:04] Speaker B: And then I'm gonna return to my original position. [00:31:09] Speaker F: Just go back. [00:31:13] Speaker I: Classic Blaggards cajoling away as mayhem unfolds. [00:31:21] Speaker G: I'm so proud of you all. And then I'm going to look at the High Magi. Are they starting to cast anything? [00:31:28] Speaker I: Most of them have recovered from the vomit stench. And you see a third healing potion being downed by Ossifer. Yllato is unmoving. So the High Magi at the moment, no activity. [00:31:45] Speaker R: The deeds you have done are quite vile. You are now the ones that are on trial. [00:32:00] Speaker I: And Nim is super pleased. He is, you know, hovering there and looks right at you, Johawk. And then there is Ossifer. Looking the opposite. Absolutely furious with your turn of phrase. [00:32:21] Speaker G: As soon as their hands start moving, I'm grabbing the chain and swinging over there like I'm swinging like a pendulum to swing over to the other side and start melee with the High Magi. [00:32:36] Speaker I: Where, you know, they appear to physically be. Yes. Okay. [00:32:40] Speaker G: On the other tower, [00:32:42] Speaker I: there is a spell immediately trying to hold you as you approach within about 10ft of Nim. But he's rolling at disadvantage. He is slow off the mark. But can you make a saving throw, please? Wisdom. [00:32:59] Speaker G: Oh, shit. I have a zero in that [00:33:06] Speaker F: I give you advantage. I give him advantage. [00:33:08] Speaker I: What? [00:33:11] Speaker F: Steve, you can do it. [00:33:13] Speaker F: You can do it, Dr. Jones. [00:33:20] Speaker G: I bet it's a success. Another eight. [00:33:24] Speaker F: Oh. Five. [00:33:25] Speaker I: Oh boy. [00:33:26] Speaker G: Can I burn. Inspiration. [00:33:29] Speaker I: Do you have an inspiration, Johawk? I don't keep track of these things. [00:33:33] Speaker G: I have two. [00:33:34] Speaker I: Yes, you can. [00:33:36] Speaker G: Two. Inspiration. [00:33:37] Speaker I: Yes, you can. Totally [00:33:40] Speaker G: natural one. This went very poorly. Can I use my second inspiration? This is the most important thing I'll ever do. Natural 3. [00:33:56] Speaker I: Oh boy. Oh, these are. [00:34:00] Speaker F: Wow. [00:34:02] Speaker G: Goodbye guys. [00:34:06] Speaker S: Tried so hard. [00:34:08] Speaker I: Your situation has gone from bad to worse. Because now, Johawk, you are in freefall. You are soaring off. But because of the fumble and then the stumble, you know, you ultimately did like this awful dismount off the edge. And the party just sees Johawk disappear. Johawk is gone. And you did make it past the wizards. But now the problem is you are falling and you are not attached to the brass anklet. [00:34:38] Speaker G: Rage. I'm raging. [00:34:40] Speaker I: And in this moment, the brass chain is quickly escaping your grasp. You can make one maybe strength. Check to see if you can grab that chain. [00:34:52] Speaker F: You got advantage. [00:34:53] Speaker G: I'm grabbing for the chain. I have advantage and I have resistance. [00:34:57] Speaker I: Okay, finally. That's a 16 plus 8. [00:35:03] Speaker I: And Johawk, you are dangling there. So you did not get the momentum to swing across. In fact, now you are dangling. [00:35:11] Speaker G: Did I take any damage from that? [00:35:13] Speaker I: 5 shredding palm damage [00:35:16] Speaker G: reduced to 2. [00:35:18] Speaker I: But you are down there. And in this moment. Kaitoa, what are you doing? [00:35:26] Speaker E: How big is a mimic chest? [00:35:29] Speaker I: 3ft high by 5ft wide by 2 and a half feet deep. And that eye is now searching around for the cowering prone Pimpernel that's actually below his view. So what are you doing, Kaitoa? [00:35:44] Speaker E: I'm gonna run or jump. What is this? Probably like 10ft or actually on this side of him. And then I'm going to try grapple shotting the mimic chest. [00:36:00] Speaker I: Okay. As you brush past Dante and the Mayor of Polb and Sergeant Sandred. Dante, you just hear him saying, remember when we waved goodbye at the docks, everything turned to shit. And you hear him muttering. And then you go past Kaitoa and what are you doing? [00:36:24] Speaker E: I'm gonna try and grapple shot a mimic chest [00:36:27] Speaker I: from here? [00:36:29] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:36:30] Speaker I: You bump right into one of the priests of Jebda. And in fact, you don't even need to make a roll like this. It looks like an old lady. And you just bump them out of the way and they just fell off the balcony. [00:36:45] Speaker T: Sweet. [00:36:48] Speaker I: One of the clerics rolled terribly. We're winning. And there they go. And they are dashed upon the rocks. I mean, Johawk, you see a watermelon red explosion. They seem to have impacted like directly onto the cliff face. [00:37:15] Speaker J: Guys, I think they're real. [00:37:21] Speaker G: I start shouting curses in gnoll. [00:37:24] Speaker I: Can I shoot the mimic chest? Yes, you can. And kaitoa, you fire a grapple shot at the Mimic chest [00:37:33] Speaker E: 23 for attack. [00:37:36] Speaker I: You have sunk it right into where the lid of the mimic chest with the horrifying row of teeth attaches to the bottom. And you get your grappling hook right in there and it actually hooks right back like through a fish's cheek. And the mimic chest screams and all of Pompous Pimpernel's little sausage fingers, like semi digested, fly out into the room. [00:38:06] Speaker E: Okay. And then I'm gonna. Can I reel it in just in front of the wizards? [00:38:14] Speaker I: Yes, [00:38:15] Speaker E: it's got. It's got 30ft. Can I. Because it's a winch system. I just wanna. I don't want to bring it right in front of me. I just want to like park it right in front of these three wizards. [00:38:27] Speaker G: Oh, this is gonna go perfect. [00:38:30] Speaker I: Kaitoa, you are reeling it in just equidistant from the three high magi. [00:38:35] Speaker E: Yeah, I kinda wanna like yank it to my right so it kind of like slides right in front of the three of them. [00:38:45] Speaker I: There is a screeching of the mimic chest's nails on the brass floor. And the mimic chest now rests right equidistant from the three high magi. Zozo, what are you doing? [00:39:06] Speaker D: So that field Johawk ran through with that was on this side? [00:39:10] Speaker E: It appears so. Okay, well, I think I'm gonna load a round into my cannon and take a shot across to the opposite tower. Step out from behind beleg. [00:39:28] Speaker I: Okay. [00:39:29] Speaker M: Yeah, yeah. She takes a knee, steadies her aim. And I think she's going to aim. Let's go for Ossifer. [00:39:39] Speaker I: Okay, Ossifer, dead center as this thing goes off right beside beleg. I hope he's covering his ears with a huge blast. I am going to have you roll on AC, Dr. Zozo. [00:39:57] Speaker Y: Okay. [00:39:58] Speaker J: What did I miss? [00:40:00] Speaker E: You went from hearing something buzzing in your pocket to hearing everything ringing. [00:40:07] Speaker F: Now you have tinnitus. [00:40:09] Speaker E: Yeah, exactly. [00:40:11] Speaker J: Oh, [00:40:12] Speaker E: those gun went off right beside your head. [00:40:16] Speaker D: That was a 10. [00:40:17] Speaker I: That's a 10. [00:40:18] Speaker D: 10 on Ossifer's AC, Dr. Zozo. [00:40:22] Speaker F: Steve tips the rifle and just a little bit. You have advantage. [00:40:29] Speaker I: Oh, nice roll again. [00:40:33] Speaker Z: Oh, okay. That's much better. So it's a 17. [00:40:37] Speaker I: This shot doesn't miss. Dr. Zozo, you see Ossifer explode as the munition hits him on impact all the way across. What did you just shoot? [00:40:55] Speaker D: That was a fire. [00:40:58] Speaker I: An alchemical tip. [00:41:01] Speaker D: Yep. So seven from the bullet, and let me see. Two. Okay, so 16. Fire damage. [00:41:12] Speaker I: Dr. Zozo, you are absolutely confirmed that you have hit dead center, Ossifer, [00:41:19] Speaker J: how does he look? [00:41:21] Speaker I: Well, he flies off of that stool that he's on, the sort of flat stool. And so you can see his charred wizard cloak. And let's see where we are in the top to bottom order that we were going through here. [00:41:37] Speaker AB: We're fighting the wizards. Are we in initiative? [00:41:41] Speaker I: Not yet. Yeah, we're gonna go top to bottom. Stevo. You're up. [00:41:47] Speaker F: All right, I'm gonna take the cue from. From Zozo. I saw where the shot went, and I'm gonna follow up with some arrows. How far away is the. How far away are they? [00:42:02] Speaker E: 120. [00:42:02] Speaker C: 160 [00:42:03] Speaker E: or plus. Yeah, [00:42:05] Speaker F: 160. [00:42:06] Speaker D: 160 between the towers or. 120. Sorry. [00:42:10] Speaker E: And then they're in the tower a bit. [00:42:12] Speaker F: That's fine. It's too far away for my hunter's mark, so I will simply just fire these shots at Ossifer with my poison bow. [00:42:26] Speaker J: So we've attacked their images on this side and their images on the other side. [00:42:32] Speaker E: And we've attacked the priests on this side. [00:42:35] Speaker E: I bumped into a priest. Knocked it off the edge. [00:42:39] Speaker F: All right, three bow shots, and they're all going towards Ossifer initially. [00:42:43] Speaker D: Take out the weakest looking one first. [00:42:45] Speaker F: Okay. Shooting with my. My poison bow. All right, first shot. 17 plus 4. I guess that hits. [00:42:58] Speaker I: That'll do it. [00:42:59] Speaker F: All right, so seven. Seven plus seven for 14 plus 10 is 24, plus three poison damage for the first one. So 24 plus three. Okay. Second shot is 17 to hit. [00:43:23] Speaker I: That'll hit [00:43:25] Speaker F: three plus seven for 10, plus 10 for 20, plus three poison damage. So 23. [00:43:33] Speaker AC: You better have a lot of those healing potions in its cloak. [00:43:39] Speaker F: And last one. Last shot. Oh, yes. I crit on that one. [00:43:46] Speaker I: Steve, is this your third hit as you pummel Ossifer for a third time? [00:43:52] Speaker F: Yeah. Okay. Seven plus seven is 14, plus 10 is 24. And then the poison is another four damage. So 28 for that one. [00:44:03] Speaker I: That total was gargantuan. And all these poison arrows sink in. Did your bow recharge on the long rest? [00:44:15] Speaker F: Goes to the next day. So I guess. [00:44:16] Speaker I: Yeah, you got your Poison net back. [00:44:20] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:44:21] Speaker I: Yeah. Rook, you're up. You seem to have the party actually taking the initiative. They're going for blood. [00:44:31] Speaker B: Okay. And he's still got eyes for the old pompous over here. How's he doing? Or what's he doing? [00:44:39] Speaker I: Are you striding over? He's 10ft away and he's still, I'd say, in shock. [00:44:45] Speaker B: And he's prone. Right? So if I attack on him, he'd be with advantage, [00:44:51] Speaker I: certainly because he's prone yet. [00:44:53] Speaker B: So I'm gonna pull out the my voltaic machete. And with a bonus action, I am going to use my or I'm going to infuse it with my crimson right of cold. So that'll take 10 temporary hit points off me, my max HP and I'm going to attack. I really don't like that guy. [00:45:23] Speaker I: Yeah, roll on AC with advantage. [00:45:26] Speaker B: Okay. And first one was two, which is not good. Or well, 10 total. The second one is a 21 total. [00:45:37] Speaker F: Oh man. [00:45:41] Speaker B: Is 21 hit, [00:45:44] Speaker I: 21 hits? Absolutely. [00:45:47] Speaker B: Okay, so the initial damage is gonna be so six die plus four for slashing. So that's. That's gonna be 10 on that. The Crimson Rite is gonna be just one cold. And bludgeoning is gonna be an additional one. And then the voltaic machete is a lightning charge equal to damage dealt. So if we've got 12 total, it'll be 24 total. [00:46:17] Speaker I: Where have you struck him? [00:46:21] Speaker B: He's going right for the face. He's not. Not very happy with him. So Rook is aiming for for the face and everything above the neck. Two handed. [00:46:33] Speaker I: Oh boy. And as pompous Pimpernel is totally caught off guard, he's still looking at his like only thumbs hands and saying, oh, the things my digits of done. You come up and strike him in the head. [00:46:54] Speaker B: How is he looking now? [00:46:56] Speaker I: Not good. And you see his purple hat now fall off. It is filled with blood. He is bleeding from a traumatic wound to the head as it pours down his face. But he's not down and out. Still prone. [00:47:15] Speaker B: Not down and out. I will. I guess I did my bonus and everything. So I will just make sure my unseen servant is still kind of working the room and grabbing anything that looks to be of use. [00:47:34] Speaker I: Anything in particular he's keeping an eye out for or any person in particular that that unseen servant should stay near to [00:47:42] Speaker B: Weapons and anything of note in terms of information from the wizards guild. [00:47:49] Speaker I: Okay, so overheard information or errant items or weapons. Okay, so kaitoa, you now see Rook. He has not wasted any time putting pompous Pimpernel into his place. And you see Johawk dangling down there. And Johawk begins to... Johawk, you are up. [00:48:12] Speaker G: I'm gonna start building momentum, trying to swing back and forth shouting gnollish curses the entire time. [00:48:20] Speaker I: What do you feel that his athletics feels like? [00:48:23] Speaker G: I'd like athletics very much. [00:48:26] Speaker I: I think that's definitely athletics. [00:48:28] Speaker G: Yeah, I got a 12 athletics. [00:48:32] Speaker I: Okay, well, you are building a little bit of momentum, but it's like a little toddler on a swing. Like taking a little long time to even start. [00:48:41] Speaker G: Yeah, I think this is where I'd leave it because I can't do anything else. Can't even equip my mall. [00:48:48] Speaker I: Well, you do. Let's see, let's roll a quick perception then if that's all we're gonna do. [00:48:53] Speaker G: Perception [00:48:56] Speaker I: 11. Yeah, well, so as you [00:48:59] Speaker G: hating me, [00:49:00] Speaker I: as you look up, you do notice and hear the sounds of screaming. It's unmistakable. It's kind of like a pompous scream. [00:49:15] Speaker G: Instead of cursing, I'm cackling. [00:49:18] Speaker I: So you are now up, kaitoa [00:49:22] Speaker E: Yeah. I'm gonna take a swing at the Yllato image. [00:49:27] Speaker I: Okay. [00:49:28] Speaker E: While I'm right beside it [00:49:29] Speaker I: at the image. Go for it. [00:49:32] Speaker E: Yep. And this is probably just going to like swing through and not do anything, but we'll see. It is 26 to attack. [00:49:44] Speaker I: You do hit something. An illusion that has been made real. Because in this case there is a horrifying connection of your weapon with this, this beautiful creature. But now the illusion disappears. But I mean, for a moment there, there was a gory scene, kaitoa, but now it's gone. And now you look across the way and she is there intact. And a bell sounds. Oops. She's got a reaction though. Anything else? She's gonna hold that reaction. Anything else? kaitoa, [00:50:24] Speaker Z: are the priests still there? [00:50:25] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:50:26] Speaker I: Yes. [00:50:27] Speaker E: Can I use my second attack to hit one of the priests off? [00:50:31] Speaker I: Oh, certainly. Roll an AC on a cleric of Jebda. Priest of Jebda. And they're gonna try and defend themselves with their bell board. [00:50:42] Speaker E: So 18 to AC. [00:50:45] Speaker I: Yes, that is [00:50:47] Speaker E: okay. It is. Is going to take a little vodag action 11 damage. [00:50:57] Speaker I: Okay. This cleric of Jepda you smash right through their bell board. They're not dead by any means, but they're precipitously close to the edge of the balcony. Anything else in your movement? [00:51:15] Speaker E: I'm gonna use my just verbal to say like fabulous. [00:51:22] Speaker I: Oh, and the knoll dustbin perks up and he Hears you and he says, I'm in an initiative after or between Steve. [00:51:34] Speaker E: Yeah, I know. Just when you said he was on the edge, it was like, oh, [00:51:39] Speaker I: I. I totally got it. And he snaps his little clawed furry fingers. [00:51:46] Speaker E: And that's gonna be it then. [00:51:49] Speaker I: Okay. So there's a reaction. And the belle of Jebda on her headdress tolls from across the way. And kaitoa, you've been banished. [00:52:02] Speaker E: Oh, fuck. [00:52:03] Speaker I: To a harmless pocket realm. Mind you, you. [00:52:07] Speaker E: I can't resist against it in any way. [00:52:10] Speaker I: Yeah, you definitely get to roll against this. Yep. [00:52:13] Speaker J: Charisma save, right? [00:52:14] Speaker E: Succeed. A charisma saving throw. [00:52:17] Speaker I: Yeah. [00:52:18] Speaker E: Okay. Oh, yeah. It's an 18. [00:52:24] Speaker I: You heavily, heavily resist this. Then kind. So you pop momentarily into the demiplane and there is a popping noise. And in fact, Rube over to the side, he sort of pops away a little bit. And you are brought back. [00:52:47] Speaker E: When I was there, did I understand through the morose code what Rube was popping about? [00:52:53] Speaker I: He says, Now [00:52:57] Speaker E: fuck Rube why you gotta be [00:53:02] Speaker J: Why you gotta be so rude? [00:53:04] Speaker G: Damn it. I was gonna go for that. [00:53:07] Speaker G: Okay. [00:53:10] Speaker E: Yeah. All right. [00:53:13] Speaker I: And yeah. Top of the order Beleg. [00:53:15] Speaker E: Don't hit the illusions, [00:53:18] Speaker J: but hitting the. hitting the priests seemed to be all right, right? Yep. [00:53:25] Speaker G: Yeah. [00:53:25] Speaker J: Okay. [00:53:25] Speaker S: They're both pretty close to the edge. [00:53:27] Speaker J: Yeah. I'm gonna try and Eldritch blast the last two priests and repel them off the edge. [00:53:33] Speaker F: Nice. [00:53:34] Speaker G: Yeah. [00:53:36] Speaker J: Okay. One is a nat 20. [00:53:40] Speaker F: Yeah. Yeah. [00:53:41] Speaker J: And one is a 13 plus 7 for a non nat 20. [00:53:45] Speaker I: There's a taller one, clearly the one that took the axe hit from kaitoa, who's very near the edge and bloodied. And then the other one. And so you hit them both. [00:53:57] Speaker J: Yep. [00:53:58] Speaker I: Okay. And they Both [00:53:59] Speaker J: blow back 10ft. [00:54:03] Speaker I: They are both gone with the eerie shriek of Eldritch blasting. Now, do we want to roll damage on that NAT20? It feels like yes. [00:54:12] Speaker J: Oh, of course. [00:54:14] Speaker F: Just a fine mist flies off the edge. [00:54:19] Speaker J: So that's 11 damage on that one. [00:54:21] Speaker I: Okay. Both are repellent. [00:54:24] Speaker J: The other one 8. [00:54:29] Speaker I: Who can say whether they were killed immediately on the way down or at the bottom, but they are gone. And, oh, Johawk, you get an attack of opportunity [00:54:42] Speaker G: with my magic mouth [00:54:47] Speaker I: bite or legs bite or kick [00:54:51] Speaker J: is playing the hardest carnival game of all time right [00:54:54] Speaker AE: now. [00:54:58] Speaker F: Over. 20 versus AC. Big numbers are not my thing. [00:55:01] Speaker I: 20 and over. No problem on the cleric. And so roll damage [00:55:08] Speaker F: 5. [00:55:12] Speaker I: It's not a lot of damage for that little bite attack. And the other one goes crashing down. And you're just still There, swinging away. [00:55:19] Speaker G: I'm chewing with my mouth open, cackling and trying to swallow. That's the real feat. [00:55:27] Speaker E: It's like someone feeds you a Clif bar while you're doing a dead hang. [00:55:34] Speaker I: Beleg. Two Eldritch blasts. You got full movement. You got interaction with your party. Minor interaction. Anything else? [00:55:43] Speaker J: Everybody's still on this side. Yeah. You've just been throwing some ranged attacks out. Yeah. Yep. Anybody want to head over there? Yep. [00:55:56] Speaker F: Yeah, take Kaitoa over. Can you. Can you grab Johawk from down there? That'd be awesome. [00:56:03] Speaker J: Can I? [00:56:04] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:56:07] Speaker J: Yeah, I could. It would burn both my spell slots, though. [00:56:10] Speaker F: But then you'd have, like, kaitoa and Johawk on the other side, just hacking to bits. [00:56:17] Speaker J: Oh, no, I don't think I'd be able to do that because I. I'd have to cast fly on myself to get down to Johawk, and I can only take Joe Hawk, [00:56:28] Speaker G: probably eventually get there. [00:56:31] Speaker J: Okay, well, kaitoa, next turn, you give me a big old hug. Well, do your damage first, but then give me a big old hug. [00:56:39] Speaker E: Oh, why don't we jump off together, try and land on Joe? You said you can only take one. Never mind. Yeah, [00:56:49] Speaker J: I mean, we could propel him further with pure momentum. [00:56:54] Speaker E: No, we'll figure a way to get in the. [00:56:57] Speaker J: Hey. [00:56:59] Speaker I: Okay, Dr. Zozo, you are up. Then it's the Gnoll Pup. And the Gnoll Pup actually says. Is this how you guys use the time during battle? So casual. [00:57:20] Speaker AF: Not our first. [00:57:21] Speaker F: We've seen some little pup. We've seen some shit. [00:57:25] Speaker I: And still the student body, like they are witness to the goings on. And so. Hey, kids, start going. Steve. [00:57:34] Speaker F: Who wants to go outside, these mages up? Steve will show you the outside! [00:57:43] Speaker I: Dr. Zozo, Steve has burned his minor interaction before you. And. And can you roll a persuasion or performance? [00:57:52] Speaker F: Oh, boy, oh, boy. [00:57:54] Speaker K: Two of your best stats. [00:57:56] Speaker F: Yes. I'm so good at this. Oh, Christ. [00:58:04] Speaker I: That's a two. [00:58:07] Speaker AG: Hey, you all suck, you little. After we're done killing these mages, I'm gonna throw you off this tower. [00:58:19] Speaker I: So Steve [00:58:20] Speaker J: not attracting any pupils. [00:58:22] Speaker F: Just. I should shut up. [00:58:26] Speaker I: You have gained no followers for the time being. So the. The doctor. The good doctor is up. [00:58:38] Speaker X: Okay, so I think she got what Rube was saying. Like, she. I think she's. She's been hearing him pop enough that she can start to translate herself. [00:58:51] Speaker I: Rube gave the word now. [00:58:58] Speaker V: so she's gonna fly out and perch on the rod, the immovable rod. [00:59:07] Speaker M: 60ft. [00:59:08] Speaker I: You take aloft and it's not that far at all. You fly over the levitating Nim, or at least not too far away from him. And now you're out, at least of the constrained area of the noontime room here. This rod is truly immovable. As you land on it, it is the most solid thing you've ever put your talons on. Very strange. And this is an epic sort of rare thing in the world. [00:59:40] Speaker D: Did you say erotic? [00:59:42] Speaker I: It might as well be to an artificer like you and a seeker of knowledge. I mean, the immovable rod like this is not something you just pull out of a bag. This is THE immovable rod. [00:59:58] Speaker J: She really wants to check it out right now. But [01:00:00] Speaker F: yeah, [01:00:00] Speaker D: there's something she's got to do first. She pulls out Rube's reactionary rod and she points it at the high mages and tries to use it. [01:00:14] Speaker I: Nice. Okay, prismatic spray. Now of course you know what's in the rod. You tune to the rod, you know what this is all about. Eight multicolored rays are at your disposal, Dr. Zozo. Each creature in a 60 foot cone must make a dex save throw for each target. Ah. Each flavor roll a D8 to determine the color ray that affects it. I won't go through the rays right now, but they're all dealing 10d6 damage. [01:00:47] Speaker F: Jesus. [01:00:49] Speaker D: Okay, so we have to make a deck saving throw first. [01:00:53] Speaker I: 14 plus one. That is a 15 for Nim. Okay, Ossifer. Oh, terrible. Five. Not even close. Yllato with a 14. That seems awfully close to your spell save. What is your spell save? What am I going against here on this prismatic? 16. Oh. Then Yllato fails. [01:01:19] Speaker J: Nice. [01:01:20] Speaker I: Okay, so now one D8 for each target. You [01:01:26] Speaker AM: okay? [01:01:26] Speaker I: Hit [01:01:28] Speaker D: So 8 for Nim. [01:01:30] Speaker I: Nim - type? [01:01:32] Speaker D: Let's see, that is two [01:01:33] Speaker I: rays [01:01:34] Speaker E: special. The target is special. [01:01:36] Speaker F: Twice [01:01:38] Speaker I: roll twice. Re roll eight twice more. [01:01:41] Speaker D: Okay, so that's a two [01:01:43] Speaker V: and. Oh, that's an eight. [01:01:46] Speaker D: Two and a two. [01:01:48] Speaker J: Are you supposed to save that eight for the next person [01:01:51] Speaker AN: I know? Yeah, [01:01:52] Speaker E: yeah. Double orange. [01:01:54] Speaker I: Double orange. Double orange. Okay, so Nim shouts again, both the apparition and him. [01:02:01] Speaker AO: 20d6. [01:02:03] Speaker I: I wish I had my nimble wizards hat. I really was only one away from the dc. [01:02:12] Speaker G: Our man isn't speaking in rhymes anymore. We've clearly affected him. [01:02:19] Speaker AH: 20 D6 acid. [01:02:21] Speaker I: Do you want to use an automatic dice roller for that? [01:02:24] Speaker D: I think so, yeah. [01:02:30] Speaker F: Steve looks at his bow and then looks at what's going on the prismatic rod and just shakes his head [01:02:36] Speaker D: 63. [01:02:41] Speaker I: The spray keeps on traveling down. And what type does Ossifer receive? [01:02:46] Speaker S: So that's yellow. [01:02:47] Speaker I: Yellow type damage. [01:02:48] Speaker D: Moving along the spectrum. [01:02:50] Speaker X: Lightning. Yeah. [01:02:52] Speaker AH: 10D6 lightning. [01:02:55] Speaker V: See what that turns out. That comes out at 25. [01:02:59] Speaker I: 25 lightning. You zap through all of his exterior robes and he is revealed to be an extreme, extremely frail creature. [01:03:17] Speaker D: I just rolled an eight for Yllato [01:03:19] Speaker I: No. Okay. [01:03:27] Speaker F: Thank you, Rue. [01:03:28] Speaker D: Okay, first one is a one. [01:03:30] Speaker I: Huh? Red, the target takes fire damage. [01:03:33] Speaker D: Oh, and another one. That's 68. [01:03:43] Speaker G: If Johawk knew what was going on, he would not fuck with Zozo anymore. [01:03:47] Speaker E: All he sees is, [01:03:50] Speaker S: I'm right above you right now. There's just like a spray of rainbow coming from above you. [01:03:57] Speaker S: If you look up. [01:03:59] Speaker G: I think I'd be looking up. [01:04:02] Speaker J: Johawk. You're under a pride parade right now, [01:04:09] Speaker I: Doctor Zozo. Anything else in your move, [01:04:12] Speaker AQ: flyback? [01:04:17] Speaker D: No, I think that's. [01:04:18] Speaker AH: That's pretty much everything I've got. [01:04:21] Speaker I: Okay. Perched on the immovable rod holding Rube's rod. [01:04:27] Speaker J: I hope to see some art for this. [01:04:31] Speaker I: Epic. Very epic. Okay, well, I'm gonna keep. I'm gonna keep holding it out, pointing it straight at them. [01:04:37] Speaker I: What you got left? [01:04:38] Speaker AK: There's nothing left in there. But they don't know that. Yeah. [01:04:41] Speaker I: Hilarious standoff moment, Dr. Zozo. Feathered wings outstretched. Steve, you are up. Wait, no. It's the Gnoll. It's the Gnoll Pup. They are going to blast Pimpernel. And Pimpernel goes. [01:05:03] Speaker F: Oh, it's a floor dice. [01:05:06] Speaker F: Oh, bunch of kids just kicking his ass. [01:05:07] Speaker I: Ah, awesome. Oh, that's a fail. Okay, so Pimpernel gets blown back 10ft. Dangerously close to the edge. Steve, you're up. [01:05:22] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:05:25] Speaker F: So he's dangerously close to the edge, [01:05:30] Speaker B: right between the eyes. [01:05:31] Speaker I: Yeah, he's 10. 10ft from the edge. Huh. [01:05:38] Speaker F: Would a nice little trip attack be able to help him out there? [01:05:43] Speaker E: But it sounded like the trip just knocks him prone. It doesn't. [01:05:45] Speaker F: Just knocks him prone. Yeah. [01:05:47] Speaker E: Moving [01:05:48] Speaker I: well in this moment, your targets do reduce the apparition. However, corporeal are disappeared. The only remaining Triad, the Brass Council, the Wizard Guild in body form, occupy the western towers. So yes, Steve, you would look at pompous Pimpernel as at least the primary target. There's the mimic chest, though still lurching around as nonetheless. Attached to Kaitoa's Grappling Hook, if I'm not mistaken. [01:06:27] Speaker F: And Ossifer? He's fucking butt naked. Now. [01:06:32] Speaker I: It seems like the whole front of his robes have been singed off. And his headdress as well has been singed. And he's sitting on that weird little stool. [01:06:44] Speaker F: Put an arrow in each of his gross nipples. All right. Left nipple. 18 plus 4. [01:06:55] Speaker I: That hits [01:06:57] Speaker F: all right. Oh, nice. 6 plus 7 for 13, plus 10 for 23 plus 6. Acid damage for 29. [01:07:10] Speaker I: Next hit shot. [01:07:12] Speaker F: Yeah. So the other. Next. Yep. 13 plus 4. 17 to hit. [01:07:19] Speaker I: That hits. [01:07:22] Speaker F: This is pretty good too. 5 plus 7 for 12. Plus 10 for 22. Plus another 6. Acid damage 28. [01:07:31] Speaker I: And he's pierced clearly through the lung. [01:07:35] Speaker F: And that's. That's my shit. [01:07:41] Speaker I: Okay. It's a strange moment. Now the party senses that it is not their turn acting. But it is Rook. Who's on deck. Joe Hawk. Here on deck. After that, kaitoa, you're at the bottom of the order. But in this moment, there's an absence of immediate retaliation. [01:08:09] Speaker F: Really cool, aren't they? [01:08:11] Speaker I: And I [01:08:11] Speaker B: don't like the sounds of that, [01:08:13] Speaker I: but clearly they are taken on their heels. Rook, you're up. [01:08:20] Speaker B: Okay. Well, I'm going to finish off his pompous. Rook has a taste and he wants to finish him. [01:08:28] Speaker J: Push him off. The Pompous Pimperfell. [01:08:36] Speaker D: Grab him by his dumb cloak. [01:08:38] Speaker B: And he's using inspiration. [01:08:42] Speaker J: Oh, you're so angry. [01:08:43] Speaker B: Yeah. And that's a non natural 20. I am going at him with the voltaic machete again. But as I swipe at him, I'm gonna also kick. So I'm gonna slash and kick at the same time. So if I don't finish him off with the slash, I will boot him off the balcony. [01:09:05] Speaker F: Do the. Do the. This is Sparta! [01:09:07] Speaker J: Yeah. [01:09:12] Speaker B: And that's 22 total damage. This is Blaggards! [01:09:24] Speaker I: You do a this is Sparta this is Blaggard's kickoff. [01:09:30] Speaker B: Nice. [01:09:31] Speaker J: I'm glad that happened. [01:09:33] Speaker B: Does he. Do I know when I've swiped him with the machete? Does it finish him? Or is he still alive as I boot him off? [01:09:42] Speaker I: Well, Rook, as you look for the result of your actions, this guy is clearly on the last ounces of vitality. But he is pushed off the edge. And then the most curious thing happens. Rook, as you look down, a flying steed - it looks like a mechanical horse with wings - swoops in and catches. Not Pompous Pimpernel. They've changed. It's Nafre. [01:10:27] Speaker AS: I knew it, of course! [01:10:30] Speaker AT: Said it. [01:10:32] Speaker AQ: Almost fell out of my chair. [01:10:37] Speaker I: And his face is contorted. And he is gone. He is gone out of the party's view because your view is very constricted. He's gone around out of your view. [01:10:52] Speaker F: Oh, Steve mushes his, like, little fingertips, like worms, like, [01:10:59] Speaker J: No, no, hold on to one of his fingertips. Somebody pocket it and I can use it for scrying. [01:11:03] Speaker F: Oh, I pull one of those squished up fingertips off of my boot and give it to him. [01:11:11] Speaker J: Yeah. If I have a body part, I have, like, mad advantage on scrying. [01:11:16] Speaker T: Sweet. [01:11:17] Speaker F: I. I legit almost fell out of my chair. Jesus Christ. [01:11:23] Speaker J: I can't believe that fuck got away again. [01:11:31] Speaker A: And that is where we will have to leave you until the next time on Dungeons and Blaggards. [01:11:58] Speaker G: This went fantastically. [01:12:44] Speaker F: I mean, Nafre's the bad guy, right? And we chopped off his hands and beat the out of him. So now we're. We can all go, right? That's cool. [01:12:51] Speaker G: How many hit points did he have left? I'm curious. Did you guys get him within an inch of his life? [01:13:00] Speaker B: That's what I think. [01:13:02] Speaker F: Probably. We've been there before. Although now we have his [01:13:06] Speaker AU: fingers. [01:13:08] Speaker E: Yeah. Did he actually lose all his fingers? Because now he's got, like, a melted face. He's been poison spray. He's got no fingers, just thumbs. He's [01:13:18] Speaker H: And a mechanical flying horse. [01:13:21] Speaker E: Yeah, I had a pony. [01:13:27] Speaker F: He's missing fingers. So if he could cast spells, it's gonna be a lot harder for him if he needs to use his hands. [01:13:36] Speaker I: Well, Steve, I gotta ask a question. You were on to Nafre early. Was there anything that gave it away? [01:13:45] Speaker F: It was his. His attitude and trying to think of anything else. A hive. [01:13:56] Speaker I: You were bang on. [01:13:58] Speaker F: Yeah, I think it was. It was the way that he approached speaking to everybody. [01:14:05] Speaker J: One of the things I was debating was to try and cast banishment on one of the magi and myself so I could have them in a room, safe room, to talk to them in. [01:14:17] Speaker E: You mean like good cop, bad cop, See frame. [01:14:20] Speaker J: Well, if with banishment, you basically go to a harmless plane where you can't do any damage or anything. So I just, like, go there and be like, so. But then they could also be like, well, I'm just not gonna talk for the next 10 minutes, and then I'll meet you back in the real plane. I saw flaws in my plan. [01:14:41] Speaker F: All right, so what's the. What's the plan? It sounds like we're just unrolling, like, unraveling the whole thing. [01:14:49] Speaker AK: I don't think there's much. There's [01:14:51] Speaker D: much coming back from this. [01:14:53] Speaker B: Yeah, I think Rook was Just waiting for his opportunity to strike. Because he was not very happy. And Steve provided it. Thank you. [01:15:08] Speaker F: We [01:15:08] Speaker X: might have been able to play it off like [01:15:10] Speaker F: Calvin collected until he found out that someone went into his danger room. [01:15:14] Speaker D: We might have been able to play it off, but we just. [01:15:17] Speaker J: Yeah, [01:15:18] Speaker D: we just kind of attacked one of them. [01:15:19] Speaker J: Rare that Steve is the first one to incite any sort of shenanigans. [01:15:25] Speaker F: He went into my room. [01:15:26] Speaker J: I get it. I'm not saying it's wrong. I just kept all [01:15:30] Speaker F: my stuff. [01:15:33] Speaker J: One time was just to hang out. [01:15:36] Speaker B: Steve came back and he's like, did you touch my drum set? Why are you so sweaty? [01:15:49] Speaker F: Well, I may have killed us all. I apologize. [01:15:55] Speaker G: Gonna kill himself long before you entered the equation. [01:15:59] Speaker D: Yeah. I think there was a lot of decisions made in the last few seconds that [01:16:04] Speaker S: everyone's a little bit culpable here. [01:16:08] Speaker G: We didn't even pick a lawyer. [01:16:10] Speaker AE: Yeah. [01:16:12] Speaker B: Going to. [01:16:13] Speaker D: We could have just made it seem like an accident. But then [01:16:16] Speaker AV: Rook attacked [01:16:19] Speaker D: and then we could have been like, okay, well, it was just pompous Pimpernel. But then Kaitoa like the priest off [01:16:29] Speaker Y: and Joe just [01:16:31] Speaker AW: went for I think. I think we're in it now. [01:16:36] Speaker G: If it fails. As long as those rocks don't do extra damage, I can survive the fall. [01:16:43] Speaker E: Johawk. If it wasn't like a big fight up here. I was so close to wanting to just like jump off after you and try and grab you and like do the same move, but catch you. But then I was like, no. Yeah. I be totally wiped if there's only four of them left. [01:17:03] Speaker AE: Yeah. [01:17:04] Speaker D: Yeah. I was considering doing the same thing, but I don't think zozo's strong enough to. [01:17:08] Speaker S: To lift Joe. [01:17:10] Speaker E: Yeah, I just pictured Johawk like Beverly Hill Ninja on the palm tree. Just slowly rocking and swinging back and forth until he like, builds momentum and launches himself.
