  Elder's Keep of Skola Vale   Recap
The party entered a room containing a corpse, where they immediately began searching for traps and inspecting the surrounding area. Bastion, using a Familiar, and Sas, using a spell, confirmed the presence of several traps, including a non-damaging signal trap. Shadow, using her keen perception, noticed a faint shimmer on the floor and avoided dust, hinting at Invisible "cleaners" that were not allowed in the area. Bastion, after investigating a desk with alchemy and autopsy tools, discovered a hidden button that opened a portal to a pocket dimension. After a few cautious attempts, he pulled out a plain wooden box, which contained a Metal box adorned with symbols representing the eight Schools of Magic. The box was sealed, and a gemstone on it flashed various colors. After several failed attempts to open the box using ritualistic spells, Bastion discovered that touching the symbols on the box in a specific sequence, along with casting a spell, caused it to open. Inside, they found a ripped book titled "Lord of the End of Everything," a spellbook, a strange silver-like object with alien runes, and notes. Bastion's identification of the Silver object revealed that it was a tool for creating spells used by an ancient race called the Spellweavers and that the Lich Vecna had attempted to destroy its sentience and erase all knowledge of the Spellweavers. The party also found notes about gods, obelisks, and a prophecy concerning Vecna and the destruction of the world. After collecting samples of a strange red powder and a greenish liquid, they moved on to investigate the corpse, which was a Spellweaver. Calliope touched the corpse and learned of the Spellweavers' attempt to rewrite reality and become gods, which resulted in a catastrophic explosion. After copying a protective Symbol from the floor, they moved to another door that led to a torture room and, subsequently, a long tunnel with a large Black Obelisk. Barlo fell into the tunnel and was rescued by Bastion, who had polymorphed into a Giant Eagle. The party then examined the obelisk, which was inscribed with the same alien runes from the notes and Silver object. After confirming their connection to Vecna and the Spellweavers, the party decided to continue their exploration.  
 
 
   

Summary

The party found themselves exploring the mysterious floating castle of Ultharr, where they had been uncovering secrets about Karsus and learning that death itself was being manipulated in strange ways. Their investigation led them to discover a corpse surrounded by mystical runes and a hidden portal containing various artifacts, including a peculiar box that repeatedly shocked Bastion whenever he tried to interact with it. As they continued their exploration, Bastion placed his hand against a wall and triggered something that filled the air with electricity and the sharp smell of ozone.   A brilliant flash of Light enveloped the party as they felt themselves separating and beginning to fall. Each member experienced distant memories and heard voices from their past, but eventually they all heard the same mysterious conversation cutting through their personal recollections. A lady's voice, Familiar to Sas, spoke with a gentleman about bringing back someone's brother, mentioning powerful entities like Sylvanus, The Raven Queen, and Vecna. The conversation revealed complex machinations involving different Planes of Existence and arrangements with divine powers. An ear-piercing scream ended the exchange, followed by Silence and the sensation of being buried in choking sand. Bast's voice whispered that she had given them a chance and they had died in the tower, but there was a way to bring them back.   The party awakened in a bizarre metallic room that resembled a hall of mirrors, with walls made of Metal and glass, and countless pipes running throughout the structure. Strange machinery sounds filled the air, accompanied by a rhythmic slamming and rolling motion that shook the ground methodically. They quickly realized that Artie and Bastion were missing from their group. Each party member found themselves near pipes leaking different colored liquids - Shadow near green, Sas near yellow, Barlo near red, and Calliope near Light blue. The liquids had a chemically acidic smell that was unfamiliar to their senses.   The metallic Maze proved treacherous, with teleportation traps that would suddenly transport party members to different locations when they stepped on certain areas. After exploring the confusing layout, Sas discovered a room where thick pipes formed walls, and the party managed to push aside a moveable pipe to access a hidden area. They slipped down through what appeared to be a loose floor panel that moved back into place after they passed through, effectively sealing their path behind them.   The party emerged into a massive chamber filled with steam-powered machinery and electrical sparks that arced like Tesla coils across various Metal contraptions. The room contained raised platforms, tank treads that moved up from the floor and back down again, and countless gears and moving parts. At the center of this mechanical wonderland stood a large red Crystal that pulsed with energy. Near the Crystal, they spotted several Warforged soldiers with swords built into their arms, commanded by a massive figure covered in blades and sharp edges who spoke with a raspy voice - the Lord of Blades. Iron Defender dogs patrolled the area, their metallic teeth and claws gleaming menacingly.   The entire structure continued its rhythmic movement, and the party realized they were inside some kind of massive moving construct. The Lord of Blades barked commands at his subordinates before activating something on his arm and disappearing entirely. Shadow decided to take action by casting a Spike Growth spell to block enemy movement, creating a field of magical thorns that would damage anyone trying to pass through. She then called out to the enemies, revealing the party's presence and beginning the confrontation.   The Warforged soldiers and Iron defenders immediately became hostile, with the soldiers transforming their hands into sword arms for combat. Sas attacked one of the metallic dogs with a Chill Touch spell, while Barlo entered a rage and launched himself at an Iron Defender with his claws. His ferocious assault, enhanced by his infectious fury ability, completely destroyed the mechanical creature. Meanwhile, Calliope used her magical pan flute to cast Invisibility on Sas, helping to coordinate their tactical positioning.   Shadow utilized her nature's veil ability to become Invisible and launched a devastating archery attack against a Warforged Soldier. Her shots were so precise that she managed to land two critical hits in succession, with the second arrow splitting the shaft of the first in a display of incredible marksmanship that completely destroyed her target. The battle intensified as more Warforged emerged from hidden panels and pipes in the walls, with the red Crystal pulsing energy to power and reinforce the mechanical enemies.   Barlo attempted a bold grappling maneuver, successfully grabbing a wounded Warforged and dragging it through Shadow's Spike Growth. Both he and his captive took damage from the magical thorns, but the Warforged was destroyed while Barlo survived thanks to his Barbarian resilience. Sas cast a Hold Person spell that successfully Paralyzed two Warforged soldiers, revealing that despite their mechanical appearance, they were actually classified as Humanoids rather than Constructs.   As the battle raged on, Calliope made a dramatic transformation by casting Polymorph on herself, becoming a massive stegosaurus with rainbow-colored spikes that retained the pattern of her overalls. The transformation pushed enemies around due to her enormous size, and she gained tremendous durability. However, she soon realized she could do even better and transformed again into a fearsome Tyrannosaurus Rex, complete with diamond-decorated teeth and her signature overall pattern visible across her dinosaur hide.   The party coordinated their assault on the power Crystal, recognizing it as the source of the enemy reinforcements. Shadow continued her Invisible archery attacks while repositioning tactically, and Sas moved close to the Crystal to attack it with his magically enhanced Shillelagh club. Barlo fought multiple enemies using his reckless attack style and infectious fury ability, dealing devastating damage to the Warforged soldiers. The mechanical enemies fought back fiercely, with their arm-blade weapons and the Iron defenders' powerful bite attacks causing significant damage to the party.   Calliope, now in her T-Rex form, charged toward the Crystal through the Spike Growth, taking damage but surviving due to her massive hit point pool. She positioned herself to make the final assault on the power source while the rest of the party continued to battle the remaining Warforged and Iron defenders. The combat was intense, with enemies emerging from multiple hidden entrances and the Crystal continuing to pulse with energy that strengthened their foes.   In a climactic moment, Calliope delivered a devastating bite attack to the red Crystal, her massive jaws crunching down and completely destroying the power source. Immediately, flashing white lights and electrical sparks filled the entire chamber as the destruction of the Crystal triggered a catastrophic chain reaction throughout the massive construct. Each party member found themselves enveloped in protective white Light bubbles that shielded them from the chaos erupting around them.   The protective bubbles began to move, carrying the party members through the walls of the construct as if they were phasing through solid matter. As they passed through multiple chambers, they witnessed other Warforged going about various tasks, completely unaware of the destruction that had been set in motion. The bubbles continued their journey, eventually carrying the party completely outside the construct and high into the air above the ground.   From their elevated vantage point, the party made a shocking discovery - they had been inside a massive kaiju-sized Warforged that had been wreaking havoc across the landscape. Behind the enormous construct lay a path of complete devastation, showing that it had carved a destructive swath through what appeared to be a major city. The giant mechanical being began to stumble and fall, with loud explosions marking the failure of its various systems as it collapsed.   The protective bubbles gently carried the party to safety on a nearby hillside, where they popped and allowed the adventurers to land softly on solid ground. There they were reunited with their missing companions Bastion and Artie, who appeared to be safe and unharmed. They also encountered a group of new allies, including a cheerful Halfling with long brown hair who had been playing music that seemed to have helped guide their magical rescue.   Among the other figures on the hillside were a Warforged ally made of Gold and Leather with protective chest plating, a small crystalline creature composed of Rock fragments, an Iron Defender dog that appeared friendly, and a tiny flying creature that resembled a cross between a Dragon and a winged lemur. Most notably, a Bengal-style Tabaxi with striking Amber and black striped fur and Emerald eyes emerged from behind a tree, speaking to the Halfling about completing some kind of deal and thanking the party for their assistance in what she described as a last-minute solution that became necessary when they had died.

    Notes

    As the party is walking up the stairs, Bastion hits a hidden button on the wall. Bright Light and ozone fills their nostrils.   Saving throw...   They fail as electricity kills them.       Shadow and Barlo almost didn't die, but another spark hit them.   They hear voices, mostly from their pasts and then they all share the experience of hearing a conversation between a woman (who sounds familiar) and some other male figure.  
    female: .. You know when I represent these of my kind I prefer Bast.   Male: Fine, Bast,…   Bast: Thank you, Silvanus. I only came in this form as I know it pleases you and your Faerunian kind the best…   Silvanus: Bast, what you ask is no longer done. We let them choose these returns.   Bast: Silvanus, I know you don't like my plan to return my brother -- but I am sure in the end it will help our kind. All of our kind.   Silvanus: Bast, we don't know how your judgemental brother may be these days.. Labelas has had difficulties in seeing to the Toril past and how it connects with this Dierde ever since that Human interloper… well since his hexad-soul-split working for Mystra to be fair, but the one that messed with time it has even changed so many parts of fate that most gods are almost of the mind to release Tharizdun and be done with it anyways. They no longer Fear it will be the final death, and some almost seem to welcome it either way.   Bast: Silvanus, there is no fun in death -- besides of they feel no longer tethered by the tablets of fate then why not bring my brother back? Besides the pharoah's rebirth he can help any gods seeking their time to float in the Astral Sea. Besides… these Wild Cards may be the key to re-igniting the old Realms. I have some ideas, but we have to bring them back at least this one time. I think if we [garbled] then it will be like travelers from Eberron and not some deific intervention. That will keep the Raven off our backs for, not like a kitty is ever really afraid of a silly bird -- but her and I have made our arrangements when I can get away with toying with the deaths of these mortals that I don't need her changing those deals.   … hard to hear ...   Silvanus: And what of the Feylords?   Bast: They don't keep that close an eye on their Eladrin and feyfolk when they cross into the Prime, you know that. Besides, if my ultimate plans Work… they will find so many more canvases to create upon. Besides, Titania's avatar in the Vale is quite smitten with this group and relies on them to help protect their stake in the Prime… Which is also why I think Labelas will want us to help this group… If they help that interloper out of the time stream he can regain his control and it should be a reason why the Raven might not be as confrontational when she learns of what I know about Jergal   Silvanus: what about Jergal?   Bast: Oh, I can't tell you yet. The death of Vecna is still too fresh, deifically-speaking and that avatar might still return in which case I will lose control of the plot. Not gonna lie, love -- but the focus is on my people first, because even I fail to save Dierde I can still save my people… I have contigencies. Some forget that I come from the War Domain of our flock and I don't always fight on the open battlefield. My machinations come from the shadows, but they succeed.   Silvanus: I hope you are right. I am risking a lot with this…   Bast: You are risking everything, but it is the only chance we have…   An earpiercing scream…. Then Silence. The Slow sound of sand as you are now buried in sand… you feel it choking you….   Then it is gone.   A whisper in your ears, Bast it sounds like.   Bast:I have given you a chance. You died in that tower, but I think we have a way to bring you back, first though I need you to assist someone for me…
        The party wakes up. It is loud and a metallic room full of mirrors and Metal. Pipes and steam with the sound of machines and gear. A strange rhythm to the movement of the room as it shakes and slams. shake, slam. shake, slam.   they are all alone, but they see their companions reflections in the mirrors. Bastion is not around. Arktos is not around.   They see liquids of various colors dripping from pipes, a chemical and acidic smell to some. The floor is Metal. The walls are pipes, metals, glass and mirror. The outside wall is just thick pipes so close to each other they create a wall. They start to explore and as they explore it seems as if they are teleported at times to other parts.   Sas is the first to find a room in the "center" of the "maze" and there are various pipes here and some are leaking various chemicals as well. She does an investigation of the area (19) and...   this is while everyone is still exploring.   Sas goes out to help wrangle the others.   As Shadow finally finds the room they notice in one corner a loose pipe. They shift the pipe before doing anything with the colored liquids. Barlo pushes it aside and slips down as does the others. They fall into a room where it similar to the previous as it is all Metal. Strange contraptions and steamwork which is unlike anything they have ever seen. Tesla coils and electrical sparks everywhere. A large crystalline structure with some more Warforged creatures.   Gears, steam, and wheels everywhere as the building continues with its rhythmic movement. The crystals are different than the ones from Outding. Some automoton dogs also are walking around.   One of the largest has blades everywhere, mostly Metal and Rock. He commands the other two...   the party is out of their element. Seems no one heard them as they fell and they quickly decide to attack.  

     
     
     
      r.1 Calliope casts Invisibility. Sneaks closer. goes past some strange moving machinery with a large moving spike. It has some tracks going through the floorboard.   Shadow goes Invisible with her bonus action ability. Burst of speed and crouches with a held action -- arrow pointed in case hostile actions ensue. Her poofy tale also gets some charge from the nearby exposed sparks.   tabletalk: Invisible characters see themselves as the movie Invisible   Iron defender continues walking (NEED ARTICLE FOR ID)   Sas also wasn't ready to attack. casts protection from lightning.   Barlo activates his Shield, asks Calliope what she things... Holds action to attack dog when it comes around.   The large one yells at the others to get it figured out and time is running short. He pulls up his left arm and does something to it and then disappears.     r.2 Calliope takes in the sights and does a perception check (nat 20). There are large sparks coming off the large Crystal and going into the two working on it. Not harming them. There are cracks in large Crystal.   Shadow shoots out a Spike Growth. then moves. She warns her Friends.   Sas attacks with Chill Touch.

    Going through the Bastion & Cantrip (chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://media.dndbeyond.com/compendium-images/ua/bastions-cantrips/BRF3GSu0nTfNu8p4/UA2023-BastionsCantrips.pdf) changes proposed in the playtesting, as I try to finish reworking the rules for strongholds -- I want to give you guys full options for building if you want to build more back at the keep…   And that said, I am looking at the changes proposed for the spell updates and want to present the ones I think I would like to introduce at the table…   You choose which version you want, old rule or new rule -- but both are available in game and you can't just change them. Once you lock in, you lock in (but you can change spells based on the rules for your class and therefore you can change to the other version at that point if it is allowed)   • Acid Splash now creates a 5-foot-radius sphere that can affect any creature caught in it, and it is an Evocation instead of a Conjuration spell. The school change unites this spell with the Sorcerer and Wizard’s other direct-damage Acid spells. (the old version is still Conjuration, so there is a "Conjure acid splash" and an "Evoke acid splash") • Blade Ward is now a Reaction that imposes Disadvantage on a creature’s melee attack roll. (this is called "Reactionary Blade Ward"), The original still exists as "Blade Ward" • Chill Touch is now a touch spell that deals 1d10 damage rather than 1d8, and it no longer has the rarely used Undead-specific effect. (I'm going to actually have this consolidated, so you get both options -- based on range or touch) "Ranged Chill Touch" vs. "Chill Touch" • Friends now forces the target to make a save against being Charmed briefly. (this is the new option, and only option). Just Friends, no old version. • Poison Spray now has a range of 30 feet rather than 10 feet, and it uses an attack roll rather than a saving throw. Also, it is now a Necromancy rather than a Conjuration spell. (This is now two spells, the old one being "Conjure Poison Spray", and the new one being "Necromantic Poison Spray") • Produce Flame is now a Bonus Action, but the attack portion is still an action. The range of the Light has increased to 20 feet, and the range of the attack has increased to 60 feet. Also, the attack can now target creatures or objects. (this is the new option, and only option. Just Produce Flame, no old version). • Shillelagh now improves at higher levels, and it gives you the option of dealing Force damage or the weapon’s normal type. (this is the new option, and only option. Just Shillelagh, no old version). • Shocking Grasp now shuts down Opportunity Attacks rather than all Reactions. Shutting down all Reactions is too powerful for a cantrip. This cantrip has always been meant to provide a partial Disengage, which it still does in this version. Like other Lightning spells, the spell also no longer makes distinctions about whether the target is wearing Metal. (this is the new option, and only option. Just Shocking Grasp, no old version). • Spare the Dying is now a ranged rather than a touch spell, and the range increases as you level up. The spell is now also on the Druid list. (this is the new option, and only option. Just Spare the Dying, no old version). • True Strike is now an attack with a weapon that uses your spellcasting ability rather than Strength or Dexterity. (there is a Lucky True Strike (old spell) and Weapon's True Strike for the new option.)     I will create cards of the new spells and notes if there is still an old spell on roll20, hopefully before the next game.   If anyone doesn't like these changes, please feel free to DM me, but I think these all seem to be in your favor (especially the Druid who uses two of these as well as gets a new spell option)   Table talk on D&D One new Cantrips
        Barlo moves to an Iron defender. Attacks. Reckless. Hits. Infectious Fury.   ** Dead **       r.3   Large Crystal. Yellow glow pops out. Lighting blue at this time as a bit of the yellow Gold pulse through.   The Warforge near one spark puts his hand into the arm and replaces it with the blade to the side. he runs into the brambles. a panel opens up on the side of his arm. a Metal bar pops out and extends into a Metal javelin. He throws it at Shadow and misses. He curses out some wound. His left arm goes to the sparks.   Then next one, an Iron defender runs into the brambles. tries to skirt around.   Calliope looks at her surroundings (perception 16) is able to see the barbs. Was thinking of an enthralling performance... She then casts Invisibility on Sas   Shadow shoots and hits. Hits a few times. Then goes Invisible. Arrow buries deep. So does the second.   Sas attacks, Ranged Chill Touch connects.   Barlo uses agility, he sees the Spike Growth. Goes reckless.   kills doggy. ** Dead **   starts chopping off spikes, then the legs. He then starts climbing a pillar.   "oh you come to me, nice. Interlopers you will not stop the Lord of Blades!" the Warforged says. His right hand folds into his arm and his armblade takes the place.

    "Lord of Blades?" Barlo asks, "Is that what Meklan calls himself in this world? Wherever we are..."   The Warforged gives him a strange look.   He slashes at Barlo and connects with one of his attacks. He looks at left arm and calls for reinforcements. He then reaches out to the sparks and gets some vitality back. Some of the others do the same.

      r.4   Reinforcements enter the fray and run towards the party.   Attacks/Crits on Barlo as a doggy bites.   there was a whole thing that wasn't true due to dm forgetting a character was Invisible...   Calliope finds herself surrounded. So she polymorphs into a Stegasaurus, which drops the invisiblity on Sas and pushes out the hostiles next to her.   She moves. takes some opportunity attack damage   Shadow goes Invisible and attacks. crits. damages the dog. another crit... She kills it, robin hood style.   Sas casts Shillelagh and dents the Metal.     Barlo is surrounded. He attacks. Tries to grapple. fails. Again tries. should have failed, but I called the "meets it beats it" rule backward. It should have gone to the mob. He is dragged into the brambles. Then pops a Potion of healing.     the mobs begin to move and attack, some take damage from Shadow's thorns.     Bast sends a Message to Sas: "stop messing around with them, I sent you to break the power crystal"
    So Sas tells the party they need to break the Crystal... Barlo asks which one, she says the one that has the power.   The mobs attack.   r.5   Calliope goes and attacks. misses.   Shadow moves, attacks. And uses swarm to move a bad guy.     Sas attacks with Hold Person and then shouts to get the power Crystal to which Barlo says a giant dinosaur would be great for that.   Barlo attacks recklessly.   ** Dead **   Then moves with a Jump. He gets bit on the way out.   they get attacked..   r.6   Calliope runs then polymorphs into a Tyrannosaurus Rex Overalls, sparkles and polka dots One blinged-out tooth with a Diamond.   Shadow attacks and kills one. then drops the spikes   ** Dead **   "I can't hold them off long, but I was able to have the others here jam the doors breifly. it won't hold" says Bast to Sas   Sas casts Chill Touch as she moves towards the Crystal. The Chill Touch hits.   Barlo Attacks recklessly. ** Dead **   moves and reinforcements. an attack on dinosaur   r.7   Calliope Attacks   shadow attacks and moves   sas casts Shillelagh on Crystal.   Barlo attacks. with special attack. and the psychic damage kills him.     they move and attack.   r.8   Calliope does a bite attack. After charging it.   She breaks off a large piece that was still in there, lights and sparks everywhere. The party then is enveloped in white Light.. everything moves past them as they phase through the walls. They are still in the air, floating -- the Kaiju they were inside of continues to move forward then falls down. They find themselves hundreds of feet above the ground. THere is a major path of destruction through a city where the Kaiju walked through.

    They are moved to a hillside. They watch the large Warforged Creation fall and explosions everywhere. A major military component charges it.

    The bubbles pop and they drop on a hillside.

    They see a Halfling. A crystalline humanoid creature. A Warforged. Another automoton dog. And a strange flying creature. The Halfling is playing a stringed instrument which seems to be the magic that saved them. They have Arktos and Bastion who seem to be Unconscious.   A bengal Tabaxi who seems to act as if she was always there comes from behind a tree and walks up to them and speaks.   goes to Halfling "our deal has been made..."   Then to the party "This kind of came up at the same time you were available, so I thought I would kill two birds with one stone."   Barlo says "I have so many questions."               ** NEED TO CHECK VIDEO FOR KILLS ** Dead **       Transcripts  
    Let's get on the railroad to see you guys. No, I've got one kid asleep. One kid? Not so after no words, we got to Jump out. It's that same flat today and safe. He's in Missouri, thrilled to be there. Missouri houses, Dad doing his dad's surgery on Monday. so they're doing the pre stuff. Get ready. Yeah. Yeah.
    So Sam and his sister flew out just a few days before hands. I still can't believe when they name that state. And nobody sat there and said, Wait, we're calling out. What now? The state of Missouri? No, they probably turned out, looked around. What? Yeah, that. Yeah, that fits. I mean, I just have to wonder how much that accent changed over the years.
    Alrighty. Let's see who kind of cares and how that's going to play out. But I wanted to try something different tonight, so I'm not going get too much into the backstory because you guys are going to get railroaded into a side mission anyways. But what I will say is right now you guys have been exploring the flying. Keep what turns out of Thoros and you guys have been exploring the keep.
    You guys have been learning quite a bit and coming into some of the details you guys might have been picking up in the past, but kind of helping tell a little of the story that you guys are really on where it seems that Thoros has been trying to it seems that they're us and Ursa or maybe somebody else has been looking at various machinations to handle a Dragon prophecy where everything's supposed to be destroyed, whether it's to control the Dragon or to stop it or whatever.
    It's hard to say. And what we've learned with him is that a lot of what he's been dealing with was this mysterious race known as The Spell Weavers, a six armed magical race that somehow has been wiped from existence and even knowledge of them. You guys have been learning that that knowledge has been wiped, possibly because of that.
    You also have learned that it seems that something happened with Magna possibly Dead and that death is allowing that knowledge to kind of be rereleased, especially with you guys as last side mission when you guys freed a Professor Orb holding on to knowledge about this race, you guys also found a corpse of one realizing it had a mystical rune all around it decided maybe not get too close to it, but explored everything else that was inside of this office, inside a secret laboratory, including finding a an arcane safe, a hidden portal where you can hide things.
    You guys found his little box where Bastion kept getting shots, trying to figure it out. And as you guys were starting to walk up the stairs, there's a point, as you guys walked up, as you guys are walking up and almost up to the first floor and Bastion puts his hand against the wall and he hears a click.
    As that click happens, all of you guys see bright Light all around you guys. You see like electricity starting to fill up the air and you have this deep smell of ozone inside your breath. I need everybody to roll a strength save and Veronica so everybody can do with that advantage except Veronica. I need you to do stands at a disadvantage.
    Strength saving, though. Yes, strength saving through my hand wound, not natural. 20. A dirty one. My fault for not getting my character sheet preloaded. Strike. Was this to, tell other thing the advantage you guys are doing advantage Sam, since he's the one that gets it at a disadvantage. What's his modifier, though? I think it's 017. I'm guessing you were doing the second one for him, Veronica, considering the second role.
    So that was 16? Yeah, The first the the first one is with Advantage. That was fine. The second one is with this advantage. So that's his. So his is a four. All righty. So as you guys all feel this electron like kind of thing go through your thing you guys I'll feel like you guys all pretty much just done it and it's kind of Weird.
    You feel like you're kind of separating a bit from everything, even. Well, it's fine. Even. Well, yeah. Any years it was low. Veronica 16, even Shadow and Choco. There's like a moment there at the end where you feel like you're seeing them. Your Friends kind of starting to fall a little bit to the ground. But unfortunately, like, another zap hits you.
    I'm railroading it. That's why guys. But as everything kind of goes dark, everything's like it's everything's kind of odd. You're kind of having, like, distant memories and you're hearing different voices. Each one you guys are hearing different voices from your own past. And there's a point, though, where all the guys kind of hear the same conversation, kind of cutting through these different memories of your past.
    What is that? you hear a lady's voice, one you guys have heard before. Sass is the most Familiar with this voice. You know, when I represented those, these are my kind of prefer best. The gentleman's voice says, Fine, best, The best. Thank you, Sylvia. Ines, I only came in this form has I know it pleases you and your fe rooney and kind the best.
    The gentleman says best. What you ask is no longer done. We let them choose these returns. Best Sylvanus, I know you don't like my plan to return my brother, but I am sure in the end it will help our kind, all of our kind, he says fast. We don't know how your judgmental brother. Maybe these days Lavalas has had difficulties in seeing to the whole real past and how it connects with this day ever since that Human interloper.
    Well, since his Hex had sole split working for Mr. to be fair. But the one that messed with time, it has even changed so many parts of faith that most gods or almost of the minds released are is done and just be done with it. They no longer Fear will be the final death and someone will seem to welcome it either way, she replies Sylvanus, There's no fun in death.
    Besides, if they feel no longer tethered by the tablets of faith fate, then why not bring my brother back? Besides a pharaoh's rebirth, he can help any gods taken their time to float in the Astral Sea. Besides, these Wild Cards may be the key to reigniting the old realms. I have some ideas, but we have to bring them back at least this one time.
    I think if we. And then that kind of breaks up a bit as it comes back, then it'll be like the travelers from ever on and not some Delphic intervention that I keep the raven off our backs for now. Not like a kid is ever really afraid of a silly bird, but her and I have made our arrangements when I can get away with toying with the deaths of these mortals that I don't need or changing those deals.
    There's a little bit of a kind of hard the here. And then the gentleman speaks up again, who you've take to be Sylvanus based on what you've heard and what of the Faith Lords? And she replies, They don't keep that close an eye on the ladder. And the faith folk, when they cross into the prime, you know that.
    Besides, if my ultimate plan works, they will loot. They will find so many more canvases to create upon. Besides Titania, as an avatar in the Veil is quite smitten with this group and relies on them to help protect their stake in the prime. Which is also why I think labels will want us to help this group. If they help that interloper out of the time stream, he can regain his control.
    And I should be a reason why the Raven might not be as confrontational when she learns of what I know about, though, he replies. What about Chagall? She says, I can't tell you yet. The death effect now I still to fresh do you ethically speaking and that avatar might still return in which case I will lose control of the plot.
    I'm not going to lie I love but the focus is on my people first. Because even if I fail to save the day, I can still save my people. I have contingencies. So forget that I come from the war domain of our flock and I don't always fight on the open battlefield. My machinations come from the shadows, but they do succeed, he replies.
    I hope you're right. I'm asking a lot with this, she says. You're risking everything, but it is the only chance we have at this point. You guys hear an ear piercing scream and then complete Silence. The Slow sound of sand is now, as you guys feel buried in sand, you feel it kind of choking on you. And then it's gone.
    There's a whisper in your ears and it sounds like stuff. She says, I've given you a chance and you died in that tower. But I think we have a way to bring you back. But first, I need you to assist someone for me. Now I'm going to put this in chat. So that way you guys on Earth remember word for word what I just said, because that might come in handy sometime as you guys wake up, each one of you guys notices that you guys are in a loud van meant to find out when I didn't.
    But you guys are going to this one. That's right. So you guys are in a very strange metallic realm. Each one of you guys dresses that it's almost like a very strange hall of mirrors where everything is made of Metal. There's pipes that you can hear in the background. There is like a different sounds of machines and gears working.
    The ground kind of shakes, you know, a strange thought, a cool rhythm of kind of like a slam. And then a kind of a roll and then a little laugh. And it kind of does this almost nonstop. It seems as you can hear all these like sounds. You guys are not your characters aren't used to. You guys come from a world where there really isn't, like machinery like this.
    There's no clockwork, really, outside of maybe at least that your characters have ever really seen or heard. And I need to do that. Yeah, you have to put you guys in the map match for it. You guys are on the map. You guys all see black, right? Yeah. It's all part of my plan. Now, the way you guys are going to move on this map is when I tell you guys where your token is, you can So you should be able to select your token and then you're going to move using the arrow keys that Are we alone?
    Each of us. So what you like I said, it's like kind of like a hall of mirrors. So as you're kind of looking around, you can see reflections through some of the different mirrors of your companions, What you're noticing those it's only ue4 you don't see Artie with you. You don't see Bastion with you guys and you don't see Princess with you before your.
    And we see each other, though. I found one. I was going to tell you guys where you were, but I'm moving already. So if I. If if you didn't find yourself, I will whisper where you are. I see it. The lights up now. Okay, I Blink. And so shadow where you are. You see, like these pipes with this, like green liquid's kind of leaking out.
    It's various places. So that's where you appeared. You know, some of the pipes in the area had some yellow liquid kind of leaking out at different locations. Barlow You saw some with a red fluid and Calliope, you have like a Light blue. Does it have a smell? Get out of the liquid. Give me a perception check. Did you find where you are?
    Calliope I think I'm having a hard time getting the map to stay on it, but I think I'm at the upper right. Yeah. Yeah. You should be able to just select your character and then just hit the arrow key 24. It's not like a smell. You've really smelled too much before, but it has like a the best thing would be like a chemical, kind of like a little bit of an esthetic smell to it.
    Are we supposed to be moving somewhere as a I mean, can you imagine that there's got to be a way out. Okay. The floor is just what, concrete? It's all Metal. And some of the like the walls, some poles are Metal and some of the walls are glass, some of them are mirrors. It's a strange kind of like chaotic room of Metal, glass and mirror.
    But like on the walls, there's a lot more of like the wall isn't even on the outside wall. It's more just like us, just so many pipes that it comes off as if it is a wall. So that makes sense. So there's like large and small pipes you can hear behind the pipes, the various gears. And what you guys are noticing is that sometimes as you guys go into certain areas, all of a sudden it kind of you start feeling like it's taking you somewhere else in this crazy room.
    This is kind of fun, actually, watching you guys. What did you do? I made a simple Maze, hit the Maze, and then I put some of those telephone orders on all the the wrong the wrong path. Jamie, I lost you. I know. There you are. Like I was. I don't even know if I'll be able to find a way back at this point, I haven't seen Barlow yet.
    I'm still on my pool, Red. I left it up in full blue. Now is trying to go left and I can't see no door, nothing. There's, you know, finding any doors. It seems like as you kind of come around different hallways, everything seems pretty open. I found some process as you get to where you just entered it.
    hi. You are in a room where you see, like. Like all the different. There's a few different pipes in this area, in this room here. It seems like it's almost kind of like how the outside of the room was with just various pipes so thick that they almost create the walls that are circling the room you're in right now.
    You're noticing that there's a few different pipes, though, that are leaking various chemicals of various colors as well. You go shadow. There's a let's see it. Yeah. There doesn't seem to be a way out. But is there from this room? I was kind of. You're not really like, Well, you can go like, give me an investigation check. know, or maybe not.
    Dang it, I trying to go back. I'm going north. 1999 was fucking. What the hell that I got? I got teleported outside somewhere. that's cool. I'm going to say that you find something, but I'm going to give everybody else a little bit more chance to kind of walk around, see if somebody is getting close. I got somewhere.
    And also I'm back on the edge of the map. Is that supposed to happen? Yup. I had that happen to me once to unlock whatever type. Yeah, well, what the hell? What, what, what did it do? You got the word right now you're it. Put me in the middle of the map. Almost. That's I cool. You're free to move in and see me.
    What's up o me? All right, up we go. North. No. shit. I went north once. Like you. It and nobody else. Okay, Three colors in here. This is the. This is the room that I found. Hey, I found you. I feel like I'm just going in circles. Yeah, I want to go out and find. hey, I want to go out.
    I can shadow it. Okay, I'm here. Okay. How did you Jump in there? Me? Yeah, from the hallway. It's Weird. You kind of skipped over. Cool. So I just went in a spiral. I skip over anything. maybe. Maybe you were going, and then it just. You're. It The display of where you are. So as you guys come into the back, the SAS has about how this might actually be a pretty quick and I guess.
    All right, you guys notice that up in the top right hand corner, there is a kind of pipe that can be moved away if you're if you kind of just push it hard enough and you'd be able to walk into that corner there. Okay. you know what? That's why you are doing it. Okay. So you are these pools of liquid on the ground are just painted circles.
    Those are those are the colors of the liquids that are kind of coming out. Some of the pipes in those areas. There are. Gotcha. Okay. Only one. Yeah. The only liquid that matches is the green one. That was the corner I was standing. It was green liquid. Yeah, mine was red. Let's push the thing out the way. Like so I can push.
    I'll push it up the way I could see what's behind it. So you're able almost. I'm not going to have you do a string tuck. You're able to kind of push them aside and make enough of a hole for everybody to kind of go through. As you kind of go in there, you end up kind of like finding that there's a little area that you kind of slip down a little bit, but not like fall very far.
    There's a little landing and you guys kind of come through that landing. And then as you guys go through, though, there is a point where the kind of floor does break out from underneath. We'll just say that. Yeah, the the floor kind of like slides a little bit and you kind of fall into another room and as you fall, give me a second here.
    Pretty can you I can see the entire map of you. That's what what we're going to see what happens here. If you guys come into another room, please. I wouldn't go too far as you guys come into this room. This is it looks like it's very much like the other room in the sense that it's heavily based and built out of Metal.
    You're seeing, though, all different types of things that your characters would never recognize, but you as players would see as odd bits of like steam working gears and machinery. There's areas where there's like these electrical sparks almost like you see in the old, like Tesla coils where they're just like sparking across these like various little Metal contraptions in the.
    This is actually one very large room you're seeing here. This little guy here, this thing over here on the left. And then these two little things here are actually like on on raised decks. But like the deck is like about maybe five feet high. You're seeing and this here, there's a very low like it's that Crystal. The second actually, because it's right where you guys are, where you guys come into the room.
    The first part of the room, there's this strange big old machinery with various bits of moving parts. You can see these two like on the sides, these like wheels, like a tank treads kind of just moving up and they come out of the floor moving these various wheels, like move other gears, bits of steam come out of it.
    You could see other pieces just moving around. There's there's a very large Crystal on that one as well in the center of the room. As I was saying earlier, it was a very large Crystal over here. There there are different colors. These do not look like the crystals that you guys are accustomed to, though these ones seem a little bit more chaotic, much larger.
    I mean, if anything, kind of like what you eat in size, it kind of reminds you of what you've seen before. But definitely they look a different texture. There's also. Yeah, just like various other little pieces of bits and bobs. And then you see in the center where that big Crystal is looking, then so you just want to as well.
    shit, it's not that big. I think you're supposed to be around that size. I might be wrong, but for now he is a big guy. So I'm over at that Crystal, which you see, and I'm going to take you guys to another map, my little cheat map, so that I can keep you guys some graphics. Well, when you guys are in this room, you see some of the couple automatons like you guys have recently discovered are what they call war for like, so there's like this guy, you see a couple of these guys here that are talking to the big guy.
    It looks like one of their arms actually has like a, a sawed off to the side of where the hand is in this picture. Shows you where the hand is. But it looks like it's right off to the side of it. So and you see in the other near them, though, they're not carrying their shields, they haven't near it at the ready.
    It seems that they're kind of looking at the, the Crystal and some of the various pieces of Metal that kind of pipe into it, almost the big guy that's behind them. You see them talking to is this guy here? yeah. Barlow immediately rolls initiative that be finished Give you the lay of the land You see this very large.
    This one is like all Metal with maybe a bit of Rock thrown in there, but a bunch of blades, dagger, kind of like sharp things all around them with a very raspy voice you can hear as he's barking commands to these other to, to war forged that are next to them and off to the sides. Those with a high person pass the perceptions that you guys would be the ones to probably spot these little characters is some other type of automaton.
    They look like dogs, some sort of good boys. So as you guys do come in here, sounds like Barlow just wants to go ahead and start with the initiative so we can figure out what's going to happen here, as I said, which is like she's going to go into her shell when she sees everybody, but she stops short, doesn't quite like it all.
    Well, well, what are we guys? Shadow definitely has poofy tail going. So to give you guys kind of like the way so after the sides you do see the two doggies off to the sides you see the to see the a little bit closer to them so get yelled at and whatnot working on that. And then behind it is the big guy yelling at them, trying to get them to do something.
    By the way, I should remind you guys, this this room still here is doing like the other room was. And as you guys move through the pipes, this thing is a movie, this room, the building you guys are in or whatever is moving in a methodical like a slam in a sway and then a slam. And it's still been going on this whole time.
    You guys have been in here. It seems like these guys are accustomed to it. Go ahead, though, and let you guys go is enough to throw us off balance. I'm going to say it right now. I'm not going to have it do that because it's almost like it's like being on a ship. You can get you guys okay, I'm a little bit one to kind of get used to it.
    I just wanted to let you guys like this is kind of going on about it. Yeah. I mean, if it's rhythmic, then I think we get that. But if it does end up becoming an issue, I will let you guys know. And there's no immediate exits. Like, right where we just landed. You're not seeing one right now. Okay.
    Yeah. Do we still see the pipe above us that we fell out of? I will say yeah, I will say that actually, it was like one of those kind of loose boards when you guys kind of slid down. It kind of like moved back up into its place kind of thing. Okay. Luckily, though, it seems that nobody else heard you guys when you guys fell.
    It's pretty noisy in here, right? There's a lot of different various noises. The only thing I am going to give the dogs a chance because they have a high perception frequency and he probably would too. So what I don't let's do I know you guys weren't being stealthy, but go ahead and give me a stealth check. And so that way it kind of gives me an idea to see how much of it like the point field.
    It's like, don't move. They'll they'll go, oops, see if you guys surprise attacks. Nope normal as I don't think it's going to be normal. Yeah it's because it's offset by the fact that you guys could have made some noise when you guys came through. Did they get lower than us? Well, the big guy rolled a one. Yes, he and the puppy has got pretty low scores themselves.
    You just double check what their perception is. Yeah.
    So you have 15, 18, ten, 1230. notes, initiatives, stuff. So it's close to like a 15 average with 12 being the lowest. So yeah, you guys are. Yeah. 13 is it. I mean they see the two soldiers seem to be a little distracted being berated and boss around by the larger the two dogs seem to just they're not they're actually walking so it seems like they're doing some type of a patrol kind of thing, but they're appropriate accomplice at this point in place.
    Sorry. Two totally different vehicles. Just to give you guys an idea, though, those blue sparks, they seem pretty reliable where they are. You're not noticing any of them kind of going out of the way. So that seems to be in trails. Those things are going on. It's constant, right? They're not flickering. Yeah, that's the one lets you guys know they are constant lights going on.
    Let me go ahead and pull some initiative for these guys. I see. What am I looking for? Hey, thanks. Yeah, they're not doing too good, though. 25 isn't good. Well, except that. Yeah. What, like Basset?
    that's where I got double those shadow. Would you get a 14.2. Why do you in the place? Doesn't show that on my end of on my knee and go through everything. Really. Yeah. I don't see it. Armor still in there. Let me just do this. Looks good to me. Yeah, I'm nothing to that. Sorry, guys. I know I have.
    Yeah, we had Nas back in. Yeah, okay. And I'll even since I kind of screwed up, I'll let you guys decide if you want to take the new or take the old. I'll even give you that. I'll take the new one point higher than the old same one. I rolled exactly the same that. good. Look, you know, why is this one for me?
    There's going to be the whole stupid thing where. No, they're fucking multiplying. Yeah, No, the DMS is having difficulties. It's. I, when I was setting this up, I was having the whole thing where sometimes it would like if I take damage, it takes damage to all the same type. I like that rule. Yeah.
    Interest rates. I know the other dog to doggy soldiers and what type. Actually the. Yeah.
    Why. All right. So you hear the Lord of Blades kind of yelling at them. actually now he loses his turn anyways because it's a surprise round. I was surprised. So Calliope, I'm first up. You are first up. Okay, does the the, We have not taken a long rest. Give me one second reaction. I wanna see one thing here.
    No, you have not letting them do anything, so I might take the chance to grab myself somewhat of a gripe. And actually, I just noticed one thing. The is supposed to be lighting effects. That way you can see what has cover up. Okay, there we go. So you guys have you guys were able to kind of get a lay of the land, but, excessive with them like another.
    it took everything away. Yeah, well, no, it's it's. But what if I put a big thing? I, I do want the shadows and the, the hiding. So if I put, I see shadows. Do you see the pillars. Ooh, yeah, that's better. Yeah. Yeah. Before everything that's blocked. Yeah, that's what I want. no. I wanted to let you guys kind of because there's.
    There's a lot enough Light in here with all the different things that you guys would be able to kind of see, get a general make out, like the make of the room. But I forgot that the lighting back on. All right, So, Calliope, what are you doing as you guys kind of break into this room, you see the all these, like, strange automatons?
    I mean, the cat Invisibility. And I'm going to attempt to sneak closer to this thing. Okay. Any bonus actions? no, no, no. How far is the map? The same. All of these icons have changed on world Light, so I don't remember which is which. What? I can't really. There you go. I was right here. then the sidebar.
    Yeah, sidebar. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to go all the way up to this thing. Okay? Yeah. As you come up to it, you're noticing too. Like there's all like that thing is like a crazy piece of machinery with all different things moving around on it. Also, where you are, you might want to be careful. You're noticing that those there's like some spikes that are right next to you and they're kind of twisting a bit.
    They kind of twist and then they turn back the other way real quick and then they slowly start cranking back the other way. And this thing is stationary, right. It seems to be like it seems to be bolted into everything. Yeah. Okay. So there's no wheels? No, no. In fact, like, that's the thing is on the sides there, these tracks here actually go into the ground and then they come back up kind of thing.
    So there's like some type of locomotion coming from down below, bringing them back up. interesting. Okay, well, that's it for my turn. That's cool. You who shadow? And we think, Yes, I know where you guys are. Yes, I think I have an idea. I I'm going to bonus action. Go Invisible and down and everyone around me visible.
    You guys go to record. I'm going to fight and then I'm going to use my burst of speed and crouch. Right. Okay. By Tom. Invisible bonus action. I'm going to crouch right here, and then I'm going to hold an action. I'm going to hold my arrow. If any of these guys seem hostile, if they start coming towards us.
    And as you know, it kind of defeats the purpose of a surprise attack. But I don't know what they're doing. She's super confused because Jamie's super confused, so she's just going to wait. No words. ALL it's funny that you said that because I actually had in my head I'm like, they didn't actually go confrontational on you. But it does seem kind of menacing.
    And yet it's kind of funny that you guys are just going full out attack. Yeah, but who knows how you react to that situation. You guys kind of got Scott. She's got bruises and poofy tail but she's waiting to and it's funny you say that because that poofy tells you kind of what sort of walking over there you did notice it kind of getting close and kind of little bits of charges from the the static as you did get kind of close to that first lecture.
    How does it make him puff up even higher? A little bit like rubbing a balloon on your head? Kind of. And and I'm going to go with the idea that when you're Invisible, you you can still see yourself, but you also see yourself as like in that, you know, the fake Invisible you always see in the movies.
    So there's a little bit of that, but it is kind of odd, as you see, and feel that the fur kind of reacting to this lightning that's around you. And also this is not Invisibility. This is nature's veil. So I can still shoot and remain Invisible. It's until my next turn. what is this now? Nature's veil. I did.
    I didn't even question the fact that you said it. It took a bonus, actually. Working cool. Yeah. It's an ability to look at second. I can use it up to my proficiency bonus number of times. this is the thing that replace the hide in plain sight drawing the. yeah. It has been unscrambled. Yeah. From the ashes.
    Yeah. But that can go Work against you too. Sometimes because of fact. That is magical, right? Just before magic would get rid of it. But it means that I can still shoot on my turn or like, as a reaction without it dropping. No worries. All right, That's it for you. Yeah. Yeah. The honor defender. Like I said, no.
    You guys haven't attacked yet, so it hasn't been surprised yet. So it's just going to kind of continue in its Slow walk as it's kind of looking around. he hasn't been Stunned yet by the attack, so I'm kind of giving him a little bit of leeway on that. And I'm not making the move too much. I guess.
    Sass You are just turning Invisible as can't turn in your mind fast does not have that ability. So that's probably more since a Dragon needs a little. I mean, I could Fly more like an insect than I'd be effectively Invisible because they would see me and then I still need from you at some time because I put up the thing about the your character's like kind of religious background.
    Yeah, yeah, I read, I read through that. So that's I kind of use what people are giving me the kind of help fill out a bit of that dialog that happened. But it's okay. Your D, your Deities, Pi thinks you've got it all under control. Not to mention Baskin's got your back anyways. Okay, well, I can't actually see you that that's a little bit.
    See to people. I don't know since they haven't attacked. We haven't attacked the first one. Yeah. I mean I do like it. Yeah. It's tough. What you would think that you guys would do in this situation. I mean it could be you can feel like it's a pretty gray area right now. Use it as it. You can always use that just as an opportunity to do it if you have some boss is a good idea.
    Like, that's one of the things a lot of people think they you start collecting buffs, but then you never use it because like, rid of a fight. You have that opportunity. I'm not sure what, but I don't. Yeah. no, it will be, I think I'm going to hold but I think I hope. What are you going to hold for one.
    So I have any idea what kind of book, what kind of energy or what kind of damage these guys might do. But like I said, so these guys have any idea what will say is that you guys, you're taking in like, definitely a big guy's got a lot of blades on it. The two guys over near the Crystal, they have very large swords built into their arms coming off the side of them.
    And then these these dogs, you can see that they have very large mouth, large metallic teeth of on the sides. And even their claw, their feet have very large claws on them. So lots of ripping and tearing likely folds that bite me all around us too. Yep, you're right. A lot of what you have is attack. I don't have.
    Yeah, well, I'm just looking at I have Protection from Energy. there you go. There you go. So that's why I'm looking at fire. Lightning or thunder. I see one. So I'm thinking, okay, why not, man? I mean you could like if you would have loaded up bark skin, that would have been a good one for the fence to think about.
    But below that I saw Heat Metal. But that's not loaded up. no. Do have the reaction from energy to lightning? Well, I mean, the last time I did all these, which is the last time we had a lot of rest, I knew we were going to be looking in the castle on the floating island. So that's what I prepared for.
    It. But against What do you have, Halo and all that stuff. If there's any offensive kind of buffs that you can do, I really don't think I. Well, I'll cast Protection from Energy on myself for lightning. Sounds good. It is a concentration up to one hour. So let me go ahead and put you down for concentration. I know.
    So I can forget that I you with it anyways, let's see if you So they're protected protection from lightning. If I could do another person, I would get like step closer to Barlow and touch him too. But I don't think I could do two people. But, you know, I mean, we sort through well, some of them, if you do at a higher levels, you can do more than double Invisibility.
    It increases how much you can do. But this one on the, you know, just a willing creature I can touch. So I am a creature. So and then you put yourself in that spell and then do you want to move or any bonus actions move carefully. I'll move just a teensy bit faster about that. So as you said in there for you actually having that protection, you're not really getting much of if anything, you're just getting the Light off the side of you.
    But the electricity is not really affect doesn't seem to be even affecting you. Barlow Okay, I am going to move sneaky, sneaky over to where Calliope is. When I started to use the arrow keys, the move. No, no, no. That was just for the other thing. yeah, Yeah. I just needed it. So that way we would Teleport.
    Yeah. Yeah. And it would make it so that way. I mean, I think that if you try to drag it with the walls, you can't go over the walls, I think. But I think that maybe you could try to navigate the map by doing the arrow. Kids go right over there. It was something. I saw it. I was like, I want to try that.
    So yeah, I think I will after the first time. But I guess I'll bring up my Shield as a bonus that the activated just to be safe. yeah. And I'll get whispering in the calliope or whatever. We got to find a way out of here. We're going to. What are we doing here? It's one of the closer look.
    It's super shiny. Now, what is this thing? I see that. So it looks like there's gears turning and treads coming up from the floor, wrapping around, going back down like it's a police thing. Kind of like that. Yeah, that's the shirt. Yeah. See that? I don't know what to do right now. I'm going to look and see if there's anything maybe I have in my inventory.
    So I will. That's my action. I'm just going to go home. Action. And I'll check that. But the door I'll get. I'm drunk. Okay. So yeah, I think it comes around the corner or it comes right out. Yeah, it is walking. But, you know, I'm surprised they had an able I don't know if I have anything to. I have Bobby carrying.
    I do not recall hearing. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Fuck. Yeah. now what I should say, You know, I was thinking you only got half movement, by the way, but it's fine. I just realized that myself, because it wasn't that I will sneak with my feline ability. it's good point. You guys can move pretty fast.
    And, yeah, they were Invisible. Didn't have to, but I'll sneak or I will activate feline agility and see because what I'm going to do that is interesting. So what we're going to do that at the end of the first round go. So you guys did your stealth score? or should I give to have you guys do another stealth spin and have them have another chance?
    I was going to see Parcells. So what we'll say is at this point, as you guys moved into the position, you hear the war for the large war force still yelling at them and he commands them. You better get this thing figured out. We don't have much time. And then you see him pull up on his left arm.
    He's got this like, well, he's on Metal anyways. But then you see him kind of like move a panel and it kind of hits a little button and his whole body just kind of like, disappears and he's off. You hear the soldiers start were on start and then that's where soldiers are kind of working on that little piece here.
    This dog is going to move Calliope. They haven't done anything yet. So you guys, I will say, though, that it seems like something is going on. And he did not sound like a very friendly guy. The couple of crazy guys, That's the style here, right? That's a dog. Now, the big guy just disappeared. He was over by the large Crystal large Crystal in the other room on the left.
    Who? it Don't let the dog. You're Invisible still, right? Yeah, but you can probably smell me if I get Metal. Dog smell, And Metal dogs smell. Yeah. Nice. Where you guys come from? There isn't any Metal dogs. Okay. I feel like maybe. gosh, it would be dark dogs if they couldn't smoke. Maybe I'm going to sneak just on the other side of this over here.
    Okay. Right now, though, if you guys are sneaking, though, you're going to go. You only get half minute. So I'll let you guys have the first one because you guys are kind of getting in the place. But for anything, I don't know what your movement was or that it's quiet, I'm just being quiet. Well, if you're not sneaking, then.
    And they're going to be able to see that Invisible. yeah, Good point. You're right. Well, yeah, but if she's not being sneaky, then there's a chance that she can. There's a good chance that she can make a noise, I guess. Is the problem. I'm very Light footed. And I actually said, have you guys this round doing stealth as you guys move, since we're all kicking around, Nobody's move.
    You're the first one that's round. So. So yeah, go ahead and give me a stealth check as you move forward and wait. You should As you move forward, the dog doesn't seem to notice such a move. You don't see anything else on the other side in this gears. That's interesting. Just like just Weird contraptions and a lot of these walls.
    I didn't put them in there, but it's kind of like what the first thing was. There's a lot of pipes that kind of come into the floors and go through the walls or go up to the roof. So there's a lot of pipes that come through here, but mostly on the edge. And then there are these like strange sniffing contraptions all throughout the room.
    But you're not seeing anything else really. give me a give me a perception check first. Check. Well, that's persuasive. That's just the way you persuade a lot of people. Yeah. Good role in things. Good shit. Even better. So I should go now with all your secrets. shit. I don't know, though. You notice I see a model and part.
    Well, how about this? What I will say is that because you did do pretty good. you're noticing that the. The red Crystal that the the two guys are working on, though every once in a while, you're seeing like, a kind of like an ethereal spark kind of come out of them, out of the out of the large Crystal that goes into those two, carry those two out of the war forged, and it doesn't seem to be affecting them.
    Just random little like ethereal wisps kind of pop out of it and it kind of goes into them. It's not like an electrocution. You can't tell if it's what it's doing to them, but it doesn't seem to be harming them in any way or anything like that. Can you ping whether it's I don't know if I can see that.
    yeah, I can't see it. Okay. We'll say, though, because you're for your time, your natural choice. Yeah. The perception you spotted as you kind of moving through the the large clockwork thing that you just you're walking next to through some of the cracks. You noticed that. okay. So you anything else Shadow? You know, as if I can't see a thing.
    I'm going to not go right. So once again, we're doing it. If you're being stealthy, do a stealth role and, apply the proper movement speeds. Well, she pops out of Invisibility. What do I want to do? Let's kick this off. Why don't we. I'm going to throw out a bike growth. None of my peoples are up this way, right?
    Everybody else is back here. Everybody's on the other side of that machine. Yeah. Okay. You are the front leader now. I am the front leader. Don't like that leader. I don't want you in charge. Okay? Foot radius centered on a point within range. So let's find a circle. yes, sir. The edge. I want to do it. No, I know, because I use the circles filled rulers.
    That's what I'm doing. Can you not see it? No. Yeah. I'm at the one step. Yeah, I need a circle. I meant the. The. Okay, the templates. He created the templates I created. shy. So that's why you just use some of the templates here. I want to be able to move it with templates. You can move your face can move the template.
    So it's okay. It's not spousal abuse. That's what the spousal abuser says. Okay, Tool in special effects rooms. Okay, First of all, I want to move back a little bit so that I can put this, but look at me. Well, it doesn't matter if you can do a tack anyways. I guess you don't really need to filter all the.
    I actually not. What? I move it, though. You put it in. Fine. Whatever. That's fine. Move that. it won't let me move it a second here. Maybe you just need to make sure. No, no, it's okay. The point is that I'm. I want it right in this walkway here, so that way. What is that? What do you want it?
    Yeah, that's fine. Now that way. Yeah. You know. Did you want me Move it. I can move for you. Well, in between these two pillars. In between these two pillars is a walkway right. Yeah, because the rest of it is is elevated. It was. It's elevated to here. That over. Wouldn't you get towards the Crystal right. Right. I just want to block whatever they'd have to walk through to get to us.
    Okay. With the spike. Now let me look at Spike for a second here. Yeah, Do something about this. Go to Radius Center. So you see these, like, sprouts, heart spikes and thorns coming out of this Metal. Difficult thread for the duration, which is So you have concentration to right now? Now, just try to do better with that.
    No comments are going to get more complicated, I think at this point. For me, know, when a creature moves into it or within the area takes a to the for piercing damage, the transformation of the ground is camouflage. So now it looks natural and a creature that can't see the area at the time the spell is cast must make a wisdom perception check against it.
    So that also means your friendlies, so that they're not aware that you did that except for maybe SAS. Yeah, I can see the ground at the SAS is paying attention, so you don't need to do anything. As you do that spell though, it's possible that you're going to get found out here. So what I'm going to do, right, because I was going to throw it on the Spike Growth and go, I know, it's
    Okay. So first of all, she means that if they respond before you yell, that's the important thing. Because then if they might have a chance to see it, Sprout is what I'm saying. Got it. So their perception, it's not like that. Every Ranger spell is concentration, including Hunter's Mark and favorite foe. Rangers are like Magic is supposed to be like, periodic like.
    Yeah, they're not supposed to be. I know, I know, I know. I just want all the things I want. Massive damage without any probability of people hit me because I'll be off 500 feet away. Yeah. I want to be able to Hunter's Mark like five different creatures. Okay. And shoot from shoot. Well, but what's your DC? Well, yes.
    You're 16, 16, 16. So and then I'll move I that was about 20. He's not be able to see it up a little bit so as you kind of spring it up you don't seem to see them react in any way. So you were able to cast a spell and set it up without them noticing, it seems, or they haven't reacted at the very least.
    So then you you went back and then you're going to go I was going to I'm going to yell for him first and then back up as like a come at me, come at me. So as you yell and hope that they don't have arranged so as you yell out boy you see them kind of like And they do look at you Jump.
    So this will be the round then I guess that they are going to be frozen for the rest of this round because they have not been doing very well in perception checks. So all I'll say is they're not going to be really be a chance to move. But they do you do see one of them say attack and the other one's like, you're not supposed to be in here.
    So they definitely are hostile. Anything else? No, sir. Can I free action yell to my comrades watch out for the throat, The thorns? Yeah. If you want. What I will do then is if you're yelling at Calliope and Barlow are not aware exactly where they are, you guys have a general idea of where it might be. If you go in that area, you will have to do a perception check still, but I'll give you guys an advantage.
    Okay? Because they would have seen me cast this before. So if I feel like one. Yeah, I've given some up anyway. But for one, they're also on the other side of the thing. So they, they would have a just a general idea of where you were like right, right. I just mean with playing on top of what you're saying that they get advantage that they would know what to look out.
    No. One thing to be aware of when you say that, though, is if the other guys overheard you yelling at them too and might think something's up over there. So watch out for the thorns. So what I was going to do with the look over here, the fact that it's on the other. He already did a contested role with Calliope on stealth and failed.
    So I'm going to say that he is not able to notice what's going on. Really. He does turn around and growl, but he's caught in the act in the in this round, unable to react. But you can see that he's about to charge it. You Calliope sass. You are a it's so any any forgiveness you might have about the tactic here.
    Yeah it's time to go. It's all now Slow see what the. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Someone is here. An attack. That's a dog. Right. North of Calliope. Yes, That's the one of the little metallic doggies. Yeah. I can't get any closer to them than that. So she'll touch 27 to hit 27 the head and 17 necrotic.
    Let's see how that fares down. I must be lagging so bad. I don't see anything coming through, champ. Hope there you don't see it. You don't know how wrong it anything that's for stat And what was the the attack roll you said 1717. wait, no. Sorry, sorry. 27 you hit it 27. Sorry. 27 to hit 17 damage.
    Okay. So yeah. 27 that works. You see your necrotic arm up here right behind this eye doggy. And almost like, you know, like that hole's like grabbing at the back that that kind of thing, almost on this one. But if it had fur, it would have probably tried to get through. But it does take a hold. It hurts it for 17 points of damage and it can't Heal.
    that's interesting. No, I think about in this level, you can't regain hit points in the start of your next turn. Okay Good to know that's a. All right nice stance is not going to like the new changes the Chill Touch spell no note on that. Thank you for reminding me Barlow. I went through the new spells that they had been working on and yeah, what I was going to do is actually I'm going to set it up where some of the spells you can choose which version you want.
    Ooh. So let me review my notes that I was doing on that and then I'll put it up in the chat. That's a piece of it posted something about that I think. that did post. I wasn't sure if I did share or not, but I did because I did went through the can trips and the spells on.
    I was like this, I like that I don't like. And so I want to I, I don't want like just throwing the changes at you guys for the most part. I like, for example, like with Annie, with the, with the heck my inspiration. Yeah, the inspiration. I like the new one better, but I wanted let her have the choice.
    So which reminds me, don't forget, you. You can make somebody do a reroll with using your reaction, so. All right. So yeah, I'll, I'll double check on whether I think I have it though. You can choose which Chill Touch you want and you can change out who you want the other one this time, because I think the other one actually causes more damage.
    But you don't. But it's a tough spell now. Yeah, it's a tough spell o not race more. And it's and it's a serious range, 120 feet like it is my ranking. Yeah. So that's and that's what I want to take away from you. I know you like use that as your range attacks. I don't want to take that away from you.
    Well, if you want. If you want to like. Well, can you change out your cat trips. You can't can you. There's an optional or an optional or. Yeah. Yeah. On level ups or during ability upgrade level up. So of the situation like this, what I would do is if you wanted if you want I don't think you will but if you were the one to change over to the other cat trip, there'd be a one time free period when this, you know, I add those spells in.
    But then on the level up, if you're like, I'd rather actually have that at the, you know, online, I don't think you would, But I have to look at the other spells to see how that applies. That's just kind of what my thought process is that I'll said, Is there anything else you got? Say yes. No writing Barlow, you are up.
    Well, when I read all those updates a week or so ago, a first thing that I read that book that Sassaman did, that that is a horrible. But why do Yeah, why do I need that to be not rage when I have Shillelagh as my like inverse spell? I can even make it a touch spell, guys. I mean, to me, could you just change the name to something else and all that?
    Well, doesn't. There's something in there about the undead. I didn't see it in the description. Yeah, Yeah, it's not in the description, though, but there is something that's just a fact. Well, yeah, if you hit it on that, it has a disadvantage on the deck against you. They're taking. They took that out too. That's what was. Yeah. Well that's done in a lot of ways.
    But then you cause more damage. All right. If I'm standing right next person in front of them. Yeah. I don't want to. You can't move fast enough to get there. I need a good rate. So. Okay, well, let's see. I see Shadow backing up, thing up. It's on the defender. Looks like it's going to charge at Calliope. Then I will rage it and move half my distance or my rage, but gives me 20 feet.
    That gets me right behind her. And then I use the rest of my movement to move up to that Steel defender and does didn't look like what any of this creatures or near the lightning did it look like they were unaffected by lightning, like they might be immune to it? It didn't seem like you will see that he got kind of close, as you know.
    Not well, about ten within ten feet of it. They don't seem to notice it. It seems pretty routine for them. So you're not certain? I'm sure these are Metal dog creeps. Metal, you would think, well, who might be? But he is just going to just straight up attack it. Just don't attack them. I'm just going to do some swipes of the claws.
    actually, yeah, I just do that cause I was going to do something else. But that's the first hit. Reckless, of course. Well, that's the other thing that they're going to change the whole reckless attack thing from barbarians to the bucket. Yeah, I forgot. And you have to use a bonus account to maintain rage if you don't take damage or some shit like that.
    I mean, that's better. Well, usually you going to say I punched myself in the face to keep the rage going? That's true. I don't know. I think the problem is I don't know if every Naomi has that, I better. There's another kill but I an attack. So I tend to be pretty lenient. I mean it says attack like really could just chuck a Rock out and say that's your attack.
    Attack. Roll on the Light. Rule the wrong one, the same role. But I don't know why it roll the damage for the bite. No, I rolled but 19 hit 19. I can roll the clock damage. I believe that is going to hit the defenders. Okay. that's the first time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so doesn't it does 19 hits like 12 damage.
    It's like it's white if it is still a problem. Is this a slashing magical. You're five. What 22 on the second swipe that's going to hit where what does the damage not come from me. there it is. It's my I have lag It's been about 11 damage on that one. And yeah. I'll use the freebie for making two swipes one more.
    Those were 20 something else. 23. All right. They all hit eight damage and on that last attack I'm going to use infectious fury and have him make a DC Constitution modifier. No, sorry. Think that a what is it? Wisdom. Wisdom save DC 15. You that for me though? sure that's what the 20. All right so he fails so he must make to D 12 psychic.
    I'm a choose the psychic because there is no other creature for him to attack so he'll just take an extra two d total psychic damage. Got it. 13 psychic. All right. How do you want to do this? What are your hands was like? Bam, bam, bam. So I'm going to as I'm going to take a step back, maybe take an opportunity attack against me to take against me.
    The fury just wrecked the the slashing, the pain racks up his body and his brain. He just just turns over and collapses. And I don't take that opportunity back. I'm like, Shit, That fucker worked. And as he falls like, you see, like even just like, that's last, the one of his back legs kind of kicks just like, few times.
    And then it stops. Yeah. And I think I have like five feet a movement left. So I'm going to move backwards because I was going to step back, get my last five feet out, and that will be my turn. All right. War Forged Warrior. He fell the perception check to see the spell cast, so that might as well count for his perception of what's going on.
    He did yell his obscenities, though, so that's more or less what his term means. And so then it's a next turn. So the free turn is over. It is the top of the round. At the top of the round, you do notice not a bachelor's, not here, but knowing that, who do we know or who when we know who is the smartest character in this group?
    Now we would normally we do turn to Bastion to go investigating, find shit out. Well, I mean, you would know that Calliope has got her mystical love for one, even though she's used it a few times. I think that's still. But I don't know. I just thought everybody smarter than I thought you would know that everybody else. well, I've got to turn intelligence.
    Everyone smart. Okay, so this soldier. yeah. So tough. Rasa. So at the beginning, at this point here, you notice, like once again, there's a charging state with that large red Crystal. And you see this, like, kind of like yellowish glow kind of pop out of it at this point to you're noticing the blue lightning streaks that also has a at the same time has in the center that blue of lightning, a little bit of this yellowish kind of Gold glow with it as well.
    Just briefly. And it pulses through about the same time. The war Forbes, you see, is where he's got his right hand and the sword kind of sticking out the side of his arm. The hand kind of then folds inside of the the I guess it would almost be a gantlet if it was a hand or a brace or and the sword replaces where the hand is.
    And now it just has a sword arm sticking out there. And you see him, he got a charge that's speed. they actually had some decent speed. So we will have he'll charge forward. He did not see the thing so he will get hit by it. Let me refresh my memory. What's going to happen here. So as he runs into the edge of these twist and sprouts, you see his leg get caught until the you go ahead and roll the damage for him for the first five feet that he rambles into it.
    Sorry. What I need to do for damage from you. Okay.
    All right. He's hard to pick. I'm seven seven, and I'm going to give him a chance. With his dumb intelligence. He fails, he'll have a move. And let's say he charges in another 15 feet. So 64. Well, I think it just runs off the first damage roll you did. It's two dx, four per five feet. So I imagine that's 2 to 4.
    And then you roll every time it's, five feet. You can do it that way, though. And I was I was watching the thing about the whole imagine that's fine if if you want to take the seven in time's up by three. But I could just roll. That's right. Yeah. Just do it. The three new ones or seven. plus another 220.
    He's then going to move one more spot. Give me one more a five. At this point he realizes. So at this point he's going to go ahead and just out of the side of where his arm is, you see kind of like this little like Metal part open up and out the side of it comes like like a long know, let's say like a two feet like, actually.
    But as long as his arm is, it looks like comes out this little Metal bar that comes out and then it kind of extends out to look like a javelin. He as he kind of pops it out, he grabs it with his right arm and he throws it at you. SHADOW come on, man. 16 plus.
    Is it set up right? Yes. 23. Yeah. It's not too bad. So 18 points of damage as this javelin kind of pierces through your shoulder. One thing I always forget about. Yeah, perfect. That would have been one more when messed up it was in a 40 foot range. Right. Actually Europe, I guess it's in the center there,
    Yeah. Technically, that would be a disadvantage. so give me a second here. Let me, You have this bad memory. You had this bad vision of the javelin hitting you. Is my aces 1818, you said. Yep, that's less 15. So. you have this bad memory like, just bad like Fear that's going to hit you. And it goes right above your shoulder.
    Never mind. Don't take the damage. After all, are you hearing him curse out some Weird voice sound and he's going to go ahead, then put his left arm onto that little piece of the electrical thing that's right next to him. And that is his term. He puts his hand on it. Yeah. Yeah. And odd. One of the things that are getting electricity.
    Yeah. Yeah. I wonder if not hours a month heals them or something maybe it's a he the die. Well here this this you're able to see if he sees it as if he saw his buddy because he would have seen him kind of reacting to it. but not really smart. So you know what? Now he's going to have to suffer at first.
    He will run up to it. Go ahead and give me his damage or to for the first one version. As soon as he hits it, it's going to he may or may not react to it. Five, five, if as he hits it, but he's right there. Yeah. Smart enough to react or so he's going to realize something like is they would know it now right because they're taking the damage.
    Yeah but he I'm going to say that he got high enough to realize something's up, but he's just going to kind of try to skirt and get one more arc five again is going to back up a bit how many feet. So remember, difficult terrain, no doubles movement. yeah. Yeah, That is a good point. Thank you for.
    Reminding me that that was 20 feet of movement. So. Well, he's actually got a bit more things. That's 20 feet or just when he was in there is said when he was in there, that was 20 feet of movement. So yeah, let's just say he gets about there you see him kind of he does that kind of like you've seen sometimes with the animals like, and then he's like tries to kind of go and he's like, that would hurt too.
    And he's now they're unfortunately, it looks like that these guys do not have any type of ranged attack. So he's kind of as a will. Well he uses action though so I guess he could use his action though, still to run. So we will have him one to here's what I'm gonna do I'm going to have him that he skirts over here.
    He hit through the corner here and. Then right there at the end, he's going to hit it again. So go ahead and give me two more on him, so to speak. Ten feet worth. Yeah, ten feet worth. Okay.
    All right. Two, three, six, seven. Not as good this time, but, I mean, at the same time, you're noticing that it's kind of cutting through some of the Metal shards on the bottom there. It's cutting through whatever this thing is. he's of a little scared there at that point. Calliope, you are a All right, well, I'm literally in the middle of nothing happening, so I guess I'll try to make my way back around.
    I can't get very far, but I can come back down where these, like, Spike are. Can I see better what's happening on this other side? The so the thing that you're next to kind of just have like it kind of slopes up like a, like a drill bit looking thing. It would almost look like but so you can kind of see through there go ahead and do a a perception with advantage.
    And what's your do you see James? 16? Perception and change. So yeah, as you come around the corner, you're seeing these like almost Invisible. They kind of now blending into the metallic kind of area. There you can see where she's laid her her barbs down, kind of like a mirage where you see this shimmer. Okay, Like, can I scooch my person up so that I can actually see it?
    Yeah, that's fun. Okay, It is. It's just it's black right now. Okay? If I use them, I'm not Invisible anymore. If I do a can trip, does it? Yeah. Anything. Okay. I think this fellow attack. Now, if you have like a feature those technically, unless it says it's magical or like her little thing says it's magical. Like, yes.
    Ironically, if she was to make herself go Invisible, she would no longer be from the first Invisible. Okay, if I do, you an enthralling performance is that and like, something, right. Well, if you're going to do a performance, they have to see you for you to Enthrall them. Yeah. And if you'd want to be seen so you would have to come out of their Invisibility because.
    Well, and not to mention you have to perform for a whole minute. Well, that's why I was wondering if I was Invisible. Could be like this. Like creepy Ghost song siren. No. Yeah, We got our own soundtrack. Because unfortunately, it does say, like, well, for one, you have to be. You'd have to do this, whatever the performance is for a whole minute.
    Yeah. Which is ten rounds. That's a lot. And then they'd have to either hear you or see you dance. I mean, because who watched and. Yeah, who watched and listened to all of it. So I think they'd have to still be able to see you. Okay. And shadow you up next. I am. I don't know. I mean, I mean, yeah, I think for the most part, you might have to come out of Invisibility or you can just hide.
    And then, like, if you feel like somebody is going need some healing. So far, nobody's gotten hurt and seems like you guys are so far doing pretty good. Yeah, I'm sure there's no twist. Yeah, sure. He trying to see. I mean, you have weapons in attack. Still don't ever forget that you think push Yeah question if I do the the pan flute and can I catch him visiting Invisibility on just me or can I cast Invisibility and other people?
    a little easier. Just because the pants depend on the with a spell says it just says all instruments that birds can be used to cast only spells climb is built that you Levitate and protection from good and evil. It's tied or hand. can be used to cast the following spells. Well, I mean, what does the spell Invisibility say exactly?
    It would come down to whether or not Invisibility says that it is self only or I think I can cast it on other people. You can have as many people touch. Yeah, I don't think it. But by casting it I mean you would still be technically casting a spell. Even though you're using an item, it's still casting a spell.
    In that case. So it would make you be seen right. Okay. Shadow, you are already Invisible, right? Not right now, but I can make myself okay. I'm going to run over to Dash and boom, you're Invisible. Well, that's a cool so you can creep up on anybody. Now it's now. Calliope. You are now Invisible. I'm going to hide it senses hold, and that's concentration, See?
    Right. So you're holding the concentration for her. Invisibility So does that mean that when I cast, I stay Invisible? Not with the. No. You would still lose it because you cast the spell, But the concentration is the person who cast it. So, yeah, all three of you guys have concentration on you guys right now. So the pamphlet, a lot of concentrated away.
    So the pamphlet still does the same rules as the spell. Yeah, just it's the same thing. You just it's pretty much what it is allows it stuff like that allows you to cast spell without using a spell slot is at the end of the day is what it does. But all the same rules apply. But unless it says otherwise, some items might say you cast a spell, but this or that.
    Okay. All right. Anything. I know that that shot of you are up. All right? I have a straight line shot at this guy, so I'm going to. Yeah, I'm to go Invisible first and then shoot him. Now I want him to see kind of where he went. I mean, shoot him first and then go Invisible. Okay, first. Let's see.
    You not realize you had that before? Well, no, I know I have it. It just never seems like a good time. I don't know. I just curious. I was like, okay, 13 plus 14. A lot. 27, sir. So that hits, right? I said, I just didn't know in the back. Right. I'm sorry. The one I can see right here.
    But you can see the one front too. I cannot you can't see the because of. No. Because of your shadows that you popped up. gotcha. That's interesting. You can see that. there's the guy here, the middle. he's in the middle of the pillar. is he? Yeah, Yeah. See, I can't see the pillar. So that's why he's standing.
    You would have literally. shoot. I need them to be. Just get rid of that shadow. Then. Yeah. Okay. With the shadow. No, I think I want to pull this guy forward. I want to try to get him into here to that. Just to insult it. Yeah. Open source and or so you hitting the one, the back of the painting on the back.
    I'm going to try to drag him out like 100, 300 something at my range. 28 point damage. Good. You see this arrow kind of like buried deep through the Metal. Like it just got cut deep into it, and I'm trying to hit him again in. The same spot. Yeah. Natural 19. us 14. yeah, yeah, yeah. So the bow and the damage.
    No more storms. 14 Piercing and the one that hits like the first one hit on the left side of the chest. The second one goes into the right side. He's got these two arrows thing sticking out of his chest. Does he do the, like, Ace Ventura thing a little bit? It's not really like. It's not like he's saying now or anything, but it's like you could see that it kind of pierced in there.
    It's a Bone. Okay, I'm gonna do that, and then I'm going to go Invisible. You got it for the second time. I'll take your mark on that. Well, it wouldn't. That's not much oration, right? No, I don't think so. I thought it was nature's veal. I don't think it's concentration. I marked. It doesn't concentration on something on my Spike Growth.
    Okay. That's why. Yeah. Otherwise, yeah, I would replace it. So that's a good thing. But this doesn't say concentration doesn't say it, then you're fine. But you have the conservation because of Spike Growth. Yeah. I just want to make sure. Okay. Iron Defender is Dead, so he shouldn't be on there anymore. Says you are up. My struggle is he's sick.
    See, I'm going to tack this guy to tier one who's in the middle of that? The Spike Growth. What good this guy's? That's where you guys rules. Always hit mine, always fail. All right, That's going to hit. see, my this is my chat and see it. Well, the 20 year old at 2413 points in the product damage that you see.
    What's Weird and I know the other ones with see that he starts it so you see the spectral hand pops up kind of starts trying to squeeze through the Metal a bit. It it almost looks like in some parts the Metal might be actually caving in a bit. He's looking kind of wounded. Hey. Yeah, that's right, asshole. You know, that's it.
    All right, I'll stay right there and wait for him to come through. And if he gets if you get to five feet, be my spotter. They're going to come out. No. Where is Barlow? You are up. okay. I'm actually moving around, so I will activate some agility and head around this thing. Okay. 35. We will see. Now you have the guy right in front of me.
    Yeah, go ahead. Give me a quick problem. We're right back with the advantage. Went right to his back. Perception. My passive is 15. That makes a difference. Okay, An active check note still wouldn't be enough anyway, so. so you have the advantage as you come around the corner use you now see the Spike Growth as well. I see it.
    And attacking this guy. Yeah. I have to go reckless because I don't have advantage on the attack you are going to do now. I absolutely am. 23. That's got to something ten points. One more. There's another one of the dogs. Yeah. 24 to hit. That's going to hit a nine damage one. The final lot of disadvantage is crit and if he survives it he has negative effects against him.
    But the whole thing that's enough 16 damage. 16. Okay. you don't even see it. I just cut off as I'll just start chopping off spikes along his back and then take out his back legs. You got it. So as you do that, he falls to the ground. Anything else? well, I see the spikes now. So is there any other way around?
    These are all walls here. No, they're just kind of like a platform, as you said. Right? I'm not gonna lie. When I put them back together was some things I was kind of like, quick on. But these ones here are platforms, but like about only, like five feet high. So. But the ones that are in this part right here now, if anything.
    Okay, so what it is actually we'll just say it's like a little pipe on the ground that goes across there. All right. I'll spend movement of the climb. I have like 30 feet left. It's like, you know, when you got those rules and they had that little speedbump thingy because there's a pipe there, It's kind of like that thing.
    All right, I'll climb all the way up and get up right on this guy. All right. And that's water. Okay? he's. He sees you come up to me, he's like, you come to me. Nice. He's he also says, You interlopers. You will not stop the Lord of Blades. You see his right hand also fold into like the inside part of his arm and then the blade kind of take the place of it, and he's going to go ahead and do his.
    It's sort of played that what Maclean's called in this world, Where the fuck we are? He just gives you a strange look. Those are not very good roles. All I can think of is in Guardians of the Galaxy, where you see his name is Taser Face. Taser Face does 18 smack in a hit. You're right on the Shield up So and that's what my issue is.
    Okay so the first one with of Mrs. Ock. So you take 16 points of slashing damage. It's wings down at two. It was it comes for the second swinging and it misses with its arm blade and this is the bottom of the round. So at this point he he looks at his left arm and he's like, we need reinforcements.
    I'm not going to lie. The blade arm is pretty cool. As the round ends, the first thing you notice is once again, that pulse of from the Crystal as it pulses out. You see the one that you're in front of Barlow. He gets charged up a bit. The one that's in the middle here. He's next to that charge.
    He goes ahead and gets charged up a bit, realizing I should have made that a bit more. But whatever. Because at the end of the round you also have to deal with, you see there's a pipe and out comes another soldier and another defender. The off to the other side, a panel opens up and you see another one come out over here and they're round right here as they come in.
    It's going to be movement. It looks like the charge and and he's going to go ahead, then attack you. Where do you come from? There's a pipe over here that you saw kind of opened up and he came out of over here. There was a panel on the wall that opened up to release these two. Now, I didn't see them.
    So it's during the blackness, which shadows? Yeah. Yeah. I can't see anything inside of here. I know, I know. So the first guy, the first attack misses, but as he comes in with the second one, he crits. Look who was way too many dice are rolling over there. And he already had his blade and so he didn't even have to do the cool little chief.
    Yeah, that's great. 23 points of damage. Say no, not that bad. 23, 23 points of damage. But the second one that he creates, you, which was good enough to get to you as well for them. Yeah that's he he goes with a bite attack on you. A 24. Yeah. Since 17 points of piercing damage and I need a strength saving throw that he tried it in there.
    I'm on the road with a vantage. So even with the vantage it sucks. but you are actually okay, it is a DC 14. God. Well, wow. Scarily so. As it bites into you. And it tried to kind of like, bite harder and hold on to you, but you're able to kind of like, like, nudge it off and you're you're free from that from that attack.
    The thing to not make it. I got to put them on an actual square. So the other two start right away that they're not going to be able to do an attack at it, do that I guess we could do though. you're Invisible anyways, so he wouldn't see you. So what we'll do is we'll have him run past you collide to go ahead and give a,
    Actually, I guess I would stop at the first one. No, no, it already passed because he's going to take in front of the owners. Got him a clip. Go ahead. You would have an attack of opportunity. Technically, Shadow. You would too. If you want to give up your Invisibility. I don't give up my Invisibility, So I will. But I have a bow in my hand.
    So it's disadvantage, right? Or can I use my claws? Can I scratch you with my claws? Yeah. Yeah, you can scratch with the claws. So just close connection. Touch. It has to be a melee attack. Okay. Okay. Unless you're a, you know, that war magic thing. Yeah. 22 to hit, That's right. What? When did this guy come into my space?
    Just down. Just now. Just sports. could wait. That's for such a long time. It's great. I'm going to go to hard on you guys. And then you're like, no, it doesn't matter. So that's for slashing. Please. did you did you go for where was your tackle? 22. yeah. That's going to hit. And then it short sort of 23 here.
    So for three points, what was your second chance? Four points, Seven points. Damage runs past you guys. Yeah. So as it runs up. it says you're Invisible. Go to it. But my, my, my spot is legit. They'd naturally do that. That's not an attack. I know, but he wouldn't. I'm just now realizing he wouldn't have gone for you because you're Invisible.
    shit. Sorry. I guess you want to stop it, Calliope. I know. I'm sorry. It was a good roll to one dinner. All the napes. Sorry. I'm sorry. Well, I'm drunk, but you're Invisible. So you still. I better, right? So he's not gonna be able to talk. You have to use his accent to get up to you. But we're going to go ahead and just have them both use their actions to get right up and confront the only person they see there.
    And shadow and stats are hiding. I'm sorry. Oops. But the good news is they don't get to attack you, Calliope. They don't get any bonus actions. And so he did his attack. They're all out on the board. All right. And they all share the same turn now. And defender, you are Dead to me. Calliope City is Dead. The one that I didn't even get to use my short sword.
    No, he didn't die. Yeah. You just think of the attack on him because he actually ended up stopping at you. Because I forgot that says is Invisible since I could see sassafras. Okay, so now he's right in front of me, but now he's in front of you. And then behind you, you have this large war forged as well.
    Great. Concentrating the help process. Invisible, Awesome is like, This is fun, guys. Yeah, I get nervous, I get the joke. But one guy says, this is fun guy. It's just funny because you said it. That's why I had no right. well, that's like his dad is. They come? yes. All right. What do we got going on here?
    okay. I'm going to drop the Invisibility on SAS. Is that in action if I drop it? I don't think so. I think dropping a spell is a free action. It depends. You don't have stealth. Like, what's it called? I know death is form says it takes it a whole minute and just I have to look at what they say is the spell you want to do out of concentration.
    Yeah. If you're going to cast another spell, is that that you could just use cast a spell and it's. It'll naturally drop. Okay, I'm going to ask to polymorphic and, can. Okay. You didn't really think so. I was a little worried, which is okay. Real fast. I let's. Let's be. Let's be a tiger. All right. challenge rating equal to or less than the targets or level.
    Yeah. So for a grab a C or, you know, loading challenge one. What? I think you can do that you're looking at an Armor class of 12 and I hit points. 37 just bigger than that. All right Yeah you can go bigger. Okay but this set half your level in here. So let's see here. could I be safe?
    Source Since challenge rating is equal to or less than the target's or the target's level if it doesn't have a challenge o level, I will level early. So you guys are what, level ten, right? And okay. And it has to be a B and that's some good stuff. Give me a second here. Look up. so all I want, maybe a stegosaurus.
    I don't know. What's the C.R. on the bottom? A stagger is it is acr4 or do you see that I'm looking on five your tools B theory, it should say on the stand. BLOCK. Yeah. Yeah. You can be in T rex early season eight. If I go to c r of TCR, you could be just about every damn dinosaur there is.
    Yeah. Most B's fall within five. Yeah. Once you get to that level, you can pretty much do so many other B's. Like you can be a sperm whale, you know, have the sperm rushed through the whole room as well. Actually, by now I think she can do swim and Fly. It's a sign of an issue or at least swim triceratops, giant ape.
    Fuck yeah. Those are mammoth, strong, Pretty much all the dinosaur. I, I know I wouldn't be low fives if you go into the five you're looking at. Brontosaurus is up at the five triceratops crocodile Giant crab's hurt that it's. I mean, that wooly mammoth tyrannosaurus T-Rex is acr8 the top of the list. I'm looking at five below, that's why.
    Okay, so if you're looking at five and with Triceratops 95 hit points, this is Armor class. Who wants to be a stegosaurus? I guess it's not. dagger. Okay. Stegosaurus is down is acr4. So it's a little bit less, though. Which one do you know or. Yes, look, I'm bigger than I expand and I get them with spikes immediately.
    Right. So let's see. I do I have no. Well, the attacks for the stegosaurus is a tail attack. It's a plus seven to hit ten feet and it gets for six. So you five points of damage. You also it's become a huge creature. So your space increases by triple. Okay. I think you're 15 by 15, but it's not even trying.
    But you don't. I see. You think you cause damage because you move? No, you're just like pushing expansion mode. It's not like a slam. It's more like a squash. But I'm a serious do a triceratops. They have a trampling charge. They can gore, they can stomp. But guess I don't want to be as big as Horowitz. Okay, fine.
    So don't be my favorite dinosaur. Dinosaur. So I have a stegosaurus just for you again. I'm going to give it to you so you can handle that. Now. You can control your very own stegosaurus. Well, we'll say that happens is as this beast comes out, I want to move you off to the side here. We replace you with this massive thing.
    I'm sure you guys know I'm still very smart, but what is each one of the little stegosaurus spines like a different color? Yep. Rainbow, for sure. So as you as you for you puts the the Iron Defender right up to next to shadow and you push the the other one up against a little bit further up that way there's not too much room here because that big machinery so you're kind of also nudged a bit to the side so tough and everything gets pushed around.
    So that was your action. So unfortunately on the road you're not going to be able to your tail attack yet. Can I stop them? Well, you can stop the ground, but not stomp on them and I'm over them. Unfortunately, that's not a thing you do. You definitely do see them look up at you. I imagine that your color markings are still in the shape of your overalls, and then you have all sass up here.
    So I got to remember that I will move in. Let me put it that way. Scissor hit points on. Now, I will tell you, I will give you the option. Same thing I did with once. So a stegosaurus. You are looking at a hit points of 812 plus 24 or the standard 76. Which one would you like to take?
    Would you like to see if you take a chance and reroll it or do this one? Take the 76. I'll just keep it that Yeah, I'll just keep it. I'm not going to problem. I just want to give you the option, that's all. So odds are hurt when I do that. So yeah, if you move, you will take an attack.
    Or am I wrong? Barlow Yeah. It doesn't matter about size, right? It doesn't matter. So. So if you do move, you will be they probably will go for an attack on you with an attack of opportunity. But the good news is that because of your size, though, you not to worry about with a dog could due to them.
    Where is what is my your movement, my AC DC Yeah. Your DC ac 13. It's low and it's mostly because even though you do have a thick hide, you are a very big target and you are a point sponge right now, potentially 128 points to disguise. That's pretty cool. Is that a D 12 I'm scared. Well, to be fair, you can't just look at the positives on that.
    You're also looking at a perspective. But yeah, if you, if you roll ones on everything that's look terrible 30 this is all not going to do that but come on that fits. So the theme of Clive 3036. Yeah the radius 36 hit points on the low end so you know it's because that would Slow what you hit which.
    Okay but can you roll just to see can you roll please. Just to see what we know you're sticking with it. 88d 1280 12 0418i do backslash R 812 plus 24 there I flash that's true. 8012 plus 24 Well but mean that's a big Unconscious I think when you were adjusting the dinosaur hit points it did that weren't ready.
    gotcha. I won't be low I'll think that but no space the 80 rolling and eight hour genre old average slash R if you just go in the character C, you can just hit the high. Now I know. Just do that before I won't even lower. you're. First of all, shadows is good. Thank you.
    It's so here you went. Okay, So it would have been only a couple below average. Well, that's not how that works. The role would've been different. Shut up. The role of baseline. The moment you roll, you would. I know. I don't need your man logic here. So quiet. What I was doing was meant. I don't know if you know what that is.
    It's sometimes when men have to overexplain things that sorry like you are mansplaining the assistant principal in our meeting with Annabel. With what? There is a couple of times that she would say something and then you turn to Annabel and you be like, So? Well, yeah. It's a ten year old called 11. She's been. But it was a serious meeting, so I didn't say anything to her.
    The characters on the TV show she's watching, you know, she's like, No good. I'll teach me not to mansplain, I love you. She's my favorite. We've been watching, like all of the Marvel movies, and even when we were watching all of Star Wars, she would forget who PADMÉ was or like what Aniston's name was. We'd be on like the seventh movie.
    Who was? We spent 10 minutes with her insisting that Leia was Luke's mother. So she's just special. She's great. All right. So you are a dinosaur. Is there anything else we got going on? you know, I'm going to attempt to move over this way, so. the problem there is you just went over, well, I guess, the eye shadow.
    And you can stay in that same thing that actually because your size, because you're two group, but you will have taken attack from the first guy. So many get it either way north or no action is okay Yeah that's going to hit you That's the shadow. Both of you take 14 points of damage as an arm blade cuts across your dinosaur hide.
    Some very nice And anything else? Actually, our I.D., we have shadow sass. Up next, the pop up surprise. our tax of opportunity. It disadvantage when you're Invisible. Tax of opportunity against you. If you're Invisible dressed opportunity can't happen if you're Invisible because tax opportunity happen when somebody leaves your space that you can see perfect Sabonis action. I will do it a third time and step over this way Thank you and shoot the guy that's next to Clippy So if I'm Invisible does that give me any advantage on shooting or is it still just regular tag?
    That is brilliant. Okay. natural 20. You do On my snow leopard dice. I was getting worried that there was going to be a much quicker. All right. So to date you get that figured out so it's like or sandwich is doubled and I need two more dates. How am I out of date. no. there is Titan X, right.
    One, two, three, four days plus plus I got a new set of days that get for damage though. Cool. 12 team 17 plus nine is 26. 26 points of damage. Yeah. I mean, you cut it down in size as you kind of piercing through the the Metal hide of this robotic dog. All right, Back in the strike.
    it's. wait, another natural 20. You see, it's kind of surprising took a little while to register that kind of Work because I was looking at the one dice and it was cocked, but it was cocked on a 20. So I was about to say, that really sucks. It was almost a 20. And then I looked at the dice and it is an actual 20, and that's kind of funny.
    Yeah. Okay. But that's not with the swap or damage. That's only the bow and force. Okay. So game he stole the golden bits. Yeah. I said there's nothing in there about that. So that is very overpowered. What's that. Nature's bell like you can go Invisible and then just do all these attacks with advantage like that. Yeah. Yeah. So that's 27 piercing and granted it is limited, but what was it?
    I could only use it four times. 27 comments. You guys normally get in to be in between long rest. Yeah, that's true. You you guys are in the same boat with you. Yeah. I stay Invisible because it's until the top of my next turn and it is a bonus action. But it's okay. This content actually might last more than your book proficiency bonus.
    Yeah, I only have one more use of it left anyways. What was the distance? 27. shit. That's enough. How do you want to do it? I wanted like since it was two natural twenties. I want to Robin Hood it you guys, I want to like, split the shaft. Like, go in a non dirty way. Give me a saying.
    How much does a door actually get chilly because it is cold. All right. Anything else? Nope. That's all my stuff. Sass with Barlow. Up next, we're going. I'm still this bull. Actually, you're not dying as you were. I'm not just. Yeah, You were made apparent as soon as your friend turned into a dinosaur you saw behind you, though, there was a that you heard noises behind you.
    And then you saw the dinosaur. The dinosaur popped up, Shadow moved out of the way and disappeared again. But then all of a sudden, you saw the dog behind you fall to the ground with two arrows hitting the same spot that you do. You hear and you are aware that there is the other guy behind you, though, up here, right?
    And yeah, you did. And then there's a guy that's in the center of the pit in front of you, and then Barlow is surrounded by three, three of them up there. Kick it over to it. Yep. Especially with the trip ticket. All right, I'm going to come to this guy, Sun. So lay lay low May 31. Lots of natural tones, guys.
    That. So that's 14 plus seven. Yeah. So why not take as you you don't usually I mean use it a lot but damn you get some good hits when you use it. You run up to the ukulele and club just strikes and you see like a dent right into this Metal body. Well done. Got anything else? Anything else burning?
    Nope. Nope. Sorry I said it. I guess that's why me. Veronica, your muted, I know I've got nobody in the room to yell at me. No, Barlow. kid, I am surrounded. You are surrounded by lots. Everybody else. Doing really well. I'm just here. And did these guys these guys, they're swapping out weapons on their arms or something like that.
    Well, real quick, also, when you got hit, I give you the full damage. You you cut that in half with the rage, right? Yes. That's why I let you do. I have not when I tell you the damage. I don't apply the rage. My brain. Right. I'm only concentrating so many details. I figured that so. Yeah. So think of, like, their hands and off to the side of it was the blades kind of sticking out and what their hands do.
    Is it just kind of like if you were to put your hand out, that folds into itself and then the blade replaces their hand is that's all. Okay, so. it is a pretty quick action. It doesn't hurt them. They're actually and then the blade is now kind of where their hands and that way they have more control of it.
    Okay. But it's kind of, you know, so but it would take an action to swap weapons. It's just like the take accounts more or less like the swap weapon out of a sheet of thing. Yeah. Okay. I am going to look pretty wounded to just the. Well, yeah, two of them are once really. Well, yeah yeah he's pretty bad for the, the dog.
    He actually and I should say dog hasn't taken any damage yet. Nope. I'm just going to trust everyone else and I will stay where I'm at and I will attack. 0.12 Reckless now being surrounded through it, I think then that's going to change my situation and I am going to grapple this guy here. That's a wounded. Okay, So I will make a grapple Well, so contested, either he uses either athletics or acrobatics.
    I would use, I think, probably get a good roll. That laugh either means it was a one or a 2125 25 Yeah, he did get a 20. But the thing honestly, that doesn't really count, but it's plus seven will help him enough. So. Plus seven. Yeah. So as you try to grab him he just kind of looks so it's locked down.
    I'm doing it again in my second attack. God, no.
    Come on, be good. Roll two on a block. The meets. It beats. It goes to your side. Right? Yes. So in that case, yes, he got a 20. You got 20 who Grappled. So I guess. Yeah. Thinking through now does that count? Does that count as? An attack? That would be my next attack. Yeah. He's both my attack and he's both my attack actions, my action and both my attacks to do that.
    And I didn't attack my class. I don't get the freeze. My. Yeah, well, I want to grapple him and I'm taking him with me into the spikes. I'm going to back up. I'm a drag his ass through his spikes and cause damage. So I'm going to move back. I can do half movements around like at 20 feet. So first I'm going to spend ten feet and killing him around three and me pushing ten feet into the thing.
    So you should be over here in front of me somewhere. 44 You also take the damage. So he's going to use. I do take damage, Yeah. So he's going to take it three and you'll take two? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Three rolls of it. Yeah. Okay. I got three. Good. Go. Two. Okay. Four, eight. 1215 four or lower.
    That's. Yeah. A world of four, four and a three. Yeah. We're four, four into three. No, no, I know. Sorry, but you're raging right? It's half damage. Yeah, it's only seven. But still it's to take your roll would only be like seven. No, I wrote it. Four, four, four, two, three. No, that's 15. And then I'll add two more for the other guy.
    15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, the other guy. All right, So at that point, actually, that's enough as Barlow kind of runs in there, you see him kind of like scraping the, the, the, the war Ford's across and takes him down to this chateau. Doesn't even see you either. She just hears you yelling, Wow, Wow. I think we have a bonus actually left still.
    And you say drinking a Potion as bonus action. Yeah. Then I will pop Potion. Greater healing. How much is that again? 44 plus 44, 44 or four dice side of 40494 something you said 444 or double 15. I know. Scared. And you get all those points off bad news is that anybody comes up to you is going to take at least one thing the end of the game.
    Yeah that's why I did it. I'm going to get woman Wednesday here. That's why I like all right growth because it's so good but it works on your Friendly's to Yep this so Google back up to 71 points All right so that's all my actions. You're coming with me Come with me or Ford. So that one's Dead. I'm going to keep it there, though.
    So that's where everything else happens. Yeah. This one is the start of the turn. But the new guys, their turn is now, which means the one that's next to Sass. We'll start with him. So all I see is a dinosaur. I'll see you guys all sort of fucking dinosaur showed up if I'll say good luck. That's one of us, right?
    Yeah, of ours. You can't tell from the rainbow colored spikes, right? Yeah. I really saw this. You know how Jester always says that her polymorphic animals are blue? I really want of your polymorphic animals to have overalls. Like, just whatever their. Their fur feathers, whatever they all need to have. Okay. I like it. Really funny overall pattern.
    Yeah Whatever pattern, they have got to be in the shape of overalls just like mine. Always have mushrooms in some way. Yes, exactly. All right so. So the first attack misses, but the second one strikes. You take 14 points of slashing damage as the arm blade comes across. Sam. shit. I forgot to have a reaction. Yeah.
    What? Why did I just move? I don't know. Why did you move my characters now by the entrance again instead of where I was? That's where I was. Like the shadows all change that's going to give me the Teleport. When an attacker gets within five feet of it kind of goes, they can do it. Anything that they can see.
    Interesting. Okay, good. There. No, I should have looked at that. All right. Huge thing. It turns out these soldiers have left a little trick, But, yeah, that's his attack. Dead. The Dead. I've got these guys over here. So the other two new guys, he is going to run up to Barlow. So go ahead and give me one more thing of a damage.
    Their shadow, who are more just five feet. I mean feet. Yep. Three plus two is five. All right. he's going to go ahead and attack Barlow. That's not too bad. It's going to be 22. Think that's going to hit it? 18 is amazing. That's 17 points of piercing damage. And I need a council. I'm sorry. I need a strength saving throw.
    Okay. 18. You are safe as it tries to cut more into you and it fails. The other guy is going to run a charge up to you. So go ahead and give me another five for the damage there. Jack. Shadow. Hey, do I give you any idea of what this maneuver this dog's trying to do to me? Like to push me, knocked me down.
    it's killing me. It's trying. It's. It's trying to bite into you, like, almost like. Like it bites. And then it's like, you know, like how a pit bull will bite you. They bite harder. You got what plant that gotcha crap on my ass, okay? Pretty much. Look, he's got a good point, Pit bulls are beautiful. I'm not trying to denigrate pit bulls.
    You're not calling us specifically, though, because they're the ones that are most known for doing that. I'm not saying they're the only ones. Mansplaining again. A go cut on my pit bull right now. I'll tell her you're you're not vicious, you're what I keep reading though that pit bulls are the best family. my gosh she's such a love.
    All she wants is love. So yeah, Barlow, 17, is going to hit you, right? 17 misses 18. So he does his two attacks and both Miss said he should have stopped. He didn't stop it. no, that doesn't matter, because that's at the top of the everyone. But it is the bottom of the round. Which means guess what, guys?
    No, it's almost like, is this like it's something else that needs to happen? Michael situation where every round it just keeps getting harder and harder. And then you tell us it's a just a Dream sequence. There is no Dream sequence. You are pretty sure you guys are Living in reality. Why Did it do that? They're all they're linked up again.
    That's why our other DM did that. We had pretty much two full game sessions in this one fight and it just every round, it just kept getting and harder and harder and everybody just kept dying. And so finally the end. We were like, What the hell? Because he wouldn't let us drink healing potions, like Heal Spells wouldn't Work.
    It was just stupid. And at the end of it he was like, It's just a Dream sequence. Like, What the fuck, man? This is dumb. Why? He It was. It was. Yeah, well, these are not getting incrementally worse, but there is something that needs to get done. I will say that you guys are a highlight or something that needs to happen to stop this.
    Maybe we need to just, like, shoot the crystals and somehow kill the machines because the reinforcements are coming every round to get to when they come in and are they coming from the same spot? Yeah, they come from the same spots. Okay. Okay. so this is actually they're going to go to the Crystal. Yeah. And action. as the round does happen, as we are getting into the final round, I will say at this point point, so as the round switches also, you see that the, the yellow Light once again kind of goes from that.
    The red Crystal as it does this guy here, you notice he kind of powers up again a bit there too far away from it. He's actually damaged by a little bit and he's not touching it. And so so you hear a voice in your head. This power war, Ford's soldiers turn. He is going to go ahead and throw a another Java, comes out of his arm and he throws it at the treacherous hops.
    No, thank you. I show guys, we need to break the Crystal shelter. Yes. Okay. Which one? The one of the powers coming from is. okay, so it's going to be so 18 points of piercing damage on the the dinosaur, and you didn't do what you think it. It's not enough to take it down, is it? No, I put the whole thing on there.
    I didn't get hit or ready to. I been keeping track. yeah. Now you can put the points in the little green bubble. So that's his turn. And so that's all their turns. All right, Calliope, you are up. Now, you get to do something in the range of but forts. Well, nobody's in your range of your butt right now, But if you move up a little bit, you can get the guy there says, you have it, you have to ten reach.
    Yeah, yeah. I'm going to spin tail. I just want to make sure that I don't hit that. So I know you're like, okay, and I'm going to go in for a attack or plus seven to hit. So okay. To travel. 21 Okay, well, I've been it's 15, 15 Where. Yeah, there. Unfortunate. That's not enough is killing me.
    Yeah. Sorry. I felt I was wanted to see it happened to. And then you only get one attack. Billy. Yeah. Stegosaurus just doesn't have a multi attack T-Rex of animal page. Well, it I mean, now you get it because then you're getting into. Well, T-Rex was a08. Yeah. So you have to be level so you can do eight though.
    it's half your level. Yeah. It's half your level. Yeah. that. It was your level. No, no. Half your level. Whoa. that be op. If it was your level, they'd be fantastic. Anything else. No, I'm just going to. I've said dinosaur. Cool. It just started it pouring outside. Can you guys hear that now? But no, we just closed and I'm pretty.
    It's written pretty good. Here we went to the spectrum today and it started pouring We don't go so we don't go places. We don't go to the mall. We like the one time do it. It's like we're like, okay, let's go look outside. It's like it's getting like ten more minutes. Yeah. And whose idea was to start at one end of it and decide that they needed to go to, which is on the opposite side.
    Whose idea was that? Those kids. You mean yours? Yeah. Yes, my kids are right. Yeah. So polymorphic is your level Best to. I thought it's your level. No, it's. I think No transformation last for duration John Beast was challenge rating is equal to or less than the target which is her level you know or is that true polymorphic we they think of like wild chimps or something.
    No I read yeah regular polymorphic is your level or your or your str if you have one I know I read is the words half.
    That's what I was looking up level 13 hours for beast. isn't that. Yeah. You're you're right to be any beast who's challenge rating is equal to or less than the target. I read the word half and that's Weird. no. Then don't get to do something else. well, I'm going to say that you could have pointed it out at the time.
    Well, I did as well. You know, your thing was fine. Yeah, I don't know what that means. It was just if you were to notice at the time that it didn't say the word half, but I was just going off. What, For some reason I read that. Yeah. So moving forward, next time you use it, it can be any C.R. at, your level or below.
    And we do the appearance. So the doubt that you can go to the animals, you can go bigger. Okay. If there Sierra ten, you know, once it goes all the way up to 20 to crap. 2638 it must be it has to be a beast. Yeah, yeah, I know. That's what I need to ask. Is a Sierra 33.
    I'm on a track. No, no, it's a monstrosity. Yeah, I was going to say. I know, I know, I know. Did not it? Well, I wasn't trying to skip you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, sure. You're not trying to get me. Let's go. Can you really multitask? Okay, I'm going to move so that I move right through the dinosaur.
    Give her a nice little pat on her. But thanks for that. But I had add a girl and. Then I'm going to. You have this one Grappled right, Barlow? I have, yes. The one. No, this one to her that's now Dead Neither one of the others grapple. The grapple? The one died when I pushed them through the spikes.
    Okay, sweet. Then I'm going to shoot at this guy, and I'm going to use my swarm to move him. 15 feet. I mean, if it works out okay. And where did that go? Which we shouldn't the war forge on this one? Yeah. To get someone away from you. Okay. Okay. Okay. Good question. Yeah. So it just says here, I'll link it.
    So my gathered swarm. It just says once on each of your turns you can cause the swarm to assist you in one of the following ways. The attacks target must succeed on a saving throw or be moved. So does that mean I have to hit him first in order to move them? I think so. I'm serious. It just says the attack because one of them is the attacks.
    Target takes one eight and then the attacks target. But It says immediately after you hit a preacher, it suffers effects. Perfect That immediately after killing the creature with with an attack. Okay. As you're also hitting Adam, though, there's like there's a guy in the way and there's, like a Weird little machinery that's like shooting out electricity as well and a little bit of Barlow There's a dude, right?
    yeah, Yeah. Then if I had shifted one space over what? I aim to have a problem because there's this thing here that's kind of sticking up with You should now have electricity. That would be the line of sight. Okay, so it's kind of like that would be okay. Yeah, but there's still a guy in front of you too.
    I know. I was just trying to get people away from. I was trying to get someone away from Barlow. Got to worry about me. Is that new? You're more something here too, right? There's, like, one of those things. Okay. All right, then. I'll just go for this guy. Yeah. Pushing that door 15 feet will be the best. The other guy only has five feet of movement is clear.
    Yeah, I was going to drag him towards me. Or you can pull toward you. That's right. Yeah. It just. It move in any direction. 15 feet. Horizontal. As long as they feel they're pretty much for little flying. yeah. So instead of taking extra piercing damage, I could move him. Drag him? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What, 6d4 damage.
    wait, Not Invisible. That's not advantage. I'm sorry. Did you use any of those things when you guys were on the ship? Attacks with and fighting with everybody else? I can't remember. Me. Yeah, Yeah. Usually I just use a swarm. The extra damage. Right. My point though, is most if did a swarm attack like when you were fighting those dragons and stuff.
    I always do. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay, cool. Okay. Okay. So that to hit that is a dirty 20. Dirty 20. Yeah, that's going to happen. Okay, so I will do. The bow is ad8 and the worst damage is a six. And then I'm going to. He has to succeed on a DC six team. Strike it straight. Yeah. He's he passes, he succeeds on the strike check balls but he takes 15 piercing and that's nice.
    And then I'm going to shoot. No, I don't think I can do it again once per turn. Okay, so then this will just be a straight Okay. Natural 20. That's going to do it. But I don't have swarm damage, so just another D six in another d88 and one funny one. Yeah. I'm not going to have every one be a how you do this, but as you kind of pop it in there, you see the more for it to go down.
    Yeah but I'm good. All right. So yes you are up. You've got two right. And one coming up to your right now. Yeah. And I want to get away from these guys because that's not what I want to be dealing with right now. So I'm going to cast whole person. Okay. At level C, I think four is what I need to do.
    Three people, right, are three creatures turn additional humanoid so the dog's not a Human. If you link that. Yeah, he's not going, he's not a Okay, so then third level two, the two Humanoids right next to me. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So wisdom saving throws. So now here's the thing. As you look at these two guys next to you and you cast it knowing that they're supposed to be Humanoids.
    The good news is that even though they look like Constructs, they are technically Humanoids. I can say no. Sorry. No, I want to make its come off the thing that way. It's about the Work though, because turns out they are else and I got really low roles for them. Yeah. Their wisdom, however, actually they have some wisdom, but I don't think the wisdom of eight is going to be enough on that second one.
    And a wisdom of five is not a wisdom. Rule of five is not going to help either. So they are both Paralyzed for the duration that you're as you drop, as you do that you lose your Protection from Energy. do I lose my. because it's a different situation with the whole person. Yeah. Okay. All right. Now, so this is going to come in more handier, especially since now when you move, they won't be able to get that attack of opportunity on you nuke because about to move.
    So let's see here. I have to go around a little bit. You guys are getting to like two too far into the danger zone. It's Figured out how to get out of it. Do I have to go around the nose of this thing? Can't go. Yeah, you can go through it at a certain level to be able to go there.
    Well, I would say it might be a little too dangerous if you want to try the get thoughts. 2030. Excellent. I forget when I can double my distance. It's one I don't actually do an action right. It's a pretty much a a were using your action to dash. Right. Right. So I had news my actions like don't go through like rogues can do use a bonus action for an additional dash so we can run three times on our turn if we do nothing else, which is great for when we're getting away from threats.
    Right. All right. So I shout again, Get the power, Crystal. Nothing. Follow your. We're also about to hit another round change. That sounds like a great thing for a giant dinosaur to do. yes. I'm going to attack this guy in front of me, you guys. And boy, I can. I'm. I'm hoping I can drop it without recollects.
    It's not. And they are. What now? You know what, Bucket? What? I'm going, Rick. I don't care. I'll be right back. Go. What? Live? It only paralyzes like nothing, right? They have no is Paralyzed. They are. I've got if they're doing anything, you're Paralyzed. You are rude. For some reason, my macros don't Work anymore. All right, well, I am going to calls first attack 23 on the or forwards, not the defender.
    Okay. And will be that damage eight after bullets to about 17 I think that might more forward soldier Yeah that hits actually asked reads all three since 17 before accident like who 11 That's a good one he is and he's hurting bad right and the third final three is white boy criminal credit ingredient 26 not quit but after hit pretty will pretty close see 11 Spencer damage that's enough as you swipe out and bam bam bam and they close down for the count is it only where every strike is the critical is that only when they're Unconscious, Incapacitated?
    Look. Yes. You think, because you're Paralyzed. Yeah. It's not the same rules for Paralyzed. Gotcha. Sorry. Paralyzed is Incapacitated and all attack or all the tackles have advantage if anything hits while you're Paralyzed, it is a critical. is it? As long as you're within five feet of it, it's going to be like a melee. a melee attack.
    Okay. It may be within five feet, but, you know, which makes sense. Yeah That's the worst condition. Paralyzed is the worst condition that you can get other than Dead fair like other than Dead. I don't have any more attacks, but I still do have movement. So just for the lack of it, I'm going to take an opportunity attack and I'm going to Jump away from this fucker because I can standing Jump, long Jump opportunity attack.
    Yeah, because I'm leaving his range. I'm moving out, but I'm moving out with a Jump on through this. I gotcha. Got shot. I'm like, so already it's your ten. okay. I think. And technically, since I didn't move, I could actually use my burst the speed, but unfortunately that doesn't affect Jump jumping is only based off your strength modifier strength and it's 18 feet as a running lunge up or half that as a standing long Jump so I can Jump nine feet and I'm hoping that gets now the circle if you're going over I'm going to Jump northwest Yeah yeah I'm going over here to this but oop.
    Okay. Jumping over there and now the one Jump out of that. All right. One thing you got to remember, though, is the bite before. You move. It does. So if it was a grappling restraining bite, I will be sticking there. And so let's see here. Doesn't have a Bat. No one thing that's going to hit, though. Wow. So down to your strength.
    Saving throw. that's a group. Okay, So okay, first of all, you're going to take well, he hurts you for 16 points of piercing damage. 16. Yeah and got bad Wisconsin considered 11. Yeah. Okay. And a strength save and a strength save It's pretty little string saved, though. So you got that in your favor. What matter though? I could even with advantage I can roll about 20.
    So as it turns out, you're able to slide out as it's trying kind of chomp even harder on you. And so it fails on that and you are out of its danger zone. and as it anything else, much of a bonus section I can do shields already up. I already waged nothing but steer the something with a bonus actually can you do not sex me don't have a lock.
    It feels like it's a waste. And at this point here they're going to move. First of what's your AC bottom 18. So the first one misses what the second one hits with the Shield. Yeah, my normally 16. I'm a Barbarian, so. Gotcha. Okay. The second hit attacks, he's going to realize it was the guy right in front of me doing it.
    Yeah, he's just going for I'm late. It. I'll go ahead and give me 30 points of damage. all right. 30 feet of damage. What? okay 1020. I'll give you 30 that I'm going to a 30 damage here. All right. Five, six plus. What happened? 11. How much? 11, four. All 30 feet. 11. no, no move.
    Well, before that was three. That was only three. So I need to go three squares more. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, he will in six. Well did you already mark the 11 off. Yeah. Okay. So then I'll add 2278, nine. You Know what, It's real damage. And I was moving through there for a lot of one. So 14 I did get a lot more plus 14.
    Yeah. 11 plus 14. So he's still alive. Nine. That's going to be 22 against Shadow. Yeah. Yeah. That. I'm not Invisible. Yeah. That's, and that's 18 points of damage. Okay. And then it to conceive for a concentration firsts. Well yeah, let's, we can do that first. natural 19 you get. So then I need a decent strength saving throw from you.
    Okay. Plus six. So 2525 year old and veteran 18. So yeah, you're fine on that. So then you don't take the extra damage or get Grappled with that. I finally found a way. So that's the right. he's better like you're not know. 16. Is that an. yeah, it's 13 on the. Yeah.
    So that's going to be 13 points of piercing damage on the stegosaurus. And I needed to do a strength saving throw, which should actually be pretty high I would imagine. Yeah. Plus five they got to have Is it one of those things where it's an advantage if it's a larger creature? I you know what though, I don't know.
    That's a good point. Contingency in the grapple thing. It doesn't say anything about size. Yeah, this one. I will definitely let you have an advantage on it, though, for sure. Okay, So what am I doing? You can do a strength saving throw with advantage then, right? Yeah. The target must not. Or is this, No, my GM binder.
    I don't know if it's a weight I have. I can't use mace. I have to use this. Okay. Strength. Yeah, I guess he couldn't be strengthened with it. I guess he wouldn't be able to grapple. really? the group. Yeah, because it was tough. The grapple condition. You can't replicate the much larger than that. So he's not going.
    Yeah, he's immune from right now. So I'm. I'm going to say that he must have powerful build bite into you and everyone should write you too. So I didn't take the first points of damage. That's it. You don't take the you don't have to worry about possible extra damage or the grapple. Yeah, it's like a Chihuahua trying to hold you in place.
    Yeah, Yeah. Thing will happen no matter how vicious it is going to have it. Actual. That was them to. All right. Did they want to attack you? Yep. Our little the one in front of me. Yeah. Jim's in damage and I can check my a yes I definitely damage. I think it's because one missed one hit. go ahead and give me 40 points.
    40 feet of damage. So that is eight eight rule. So 15 my brain is so Slow is that sick have to leave before four foot per five per five eight times 13 for sure. Yeah. 41. That's right about that. He's not that great but he still stands for It's up this time. Two is the end of the round.
    You you hear the the the above trying to kind of let you hear like sounds coming from them. So like above our heads though where the the the reinforcements have been coming out of. I can hear I'm doing. You still haven't gotten to the big guy there now can you move that on. You can't move your thorns once they're down.
    I don't know. I don't think so. You have more casting of that? I do. I mean, it's concentration, so I would replace it. But I do have more castings, So as you guys, you guys kind of see them like the doors, kind of like making some noise, but they're not opening right now. that's the end of that round.
    It's 150 foot range, two. none of them are near the electrical things that need, and he doesn't need any hit points. So it is calliope turn. Yeah, I see where the Crystal is from, where I'm at. Like, I would say that you'd be able to kind of see above this thing a bit, so you would be able to see.
    And it's a large Crystal. Yeah. Can you ping where it is now. That's the. Okay. Yeah. It's the big red one. Okay. And then that's got to be a narrow remind me with big this whole red thing is the middle. That's the circle of that's the Spike Growth and that think I think everybody knows that it's there. I think you guys all spotted it one way or another.
    So you are aware that there's a little Spike Growth there, that shadow it placed on the ground? Well yeah. She can't right. Yeah. Well it would yeah. It would take you a couple rounds to get there. Yeah. There's no way over here. Nothing over here. No ways to go. No that's. Yeah, you can go around but. there's the lightning bolts out there.
    Mine can't go that way. I'll close the ceiling. I'm giving this a pretty large room. So obviously having you in there. Probably, though you're probably near the top. So I don't know how much you'd be like, because this machinery is pretty big too. Because I guess what I'm asking, is this a dome or that The the red circle is a dome, or is it just like, it's just on the ground.
    Good. I'm going to cast polymorphic again, okay. And I'm going to turn into that. Can't do though. What? Because you can't cast a spell. You're probably more form so you'd have to drop the form and then cast it. But dropping it to free action. Right? That's what I just want to double check. Okay, Drop it. Well, Mothersbaugh, you might as well use the formula.
    You got it. And run through the goddamn thorns. Yeah, that's true. Run first. It's going to Fly. Yeah, Yeah, but don't we? The more if you don't need it, right? So we. I don't know. It's up to you. I think. What do you mean? I think I'm just kidding Aero. You do. You can I. Well, first can I take out the guy that summit.
    But can I hit him with my tail? So. Excellent. So just look at there's nothing actually about drop in the form casting action. So yeah, you'd probably be able to just drop it. And then if you wanted to use an action, could do another one or you can use it and kill the air, attack the guy next to you so they can go ahead and tackle this.
    And I wouldn't be able to do this now, No, that would be action. Okay. And if I run, he's going to get an attack, right? I mean, you got me. Got like 31 hit. Yeah, but you're only a 40 feet movement, and that's not a touching your normal 64, so. Right. You wouldn't be able to get very far anyways and I would take damage over there.
    They would. I mean people technically, I mean, technically exhausted, just like second class people. See, here you've run stubby 25 there. it's pretty narrow, but I'll let it slide and then you remove it's what, 40 feet. Yeah. So then you, you'd go in right there. One of what, Technically it's like ten feet. I guess it would be in there.
    Yeah. You would take two things of the damage. If that's enough, that point still wouldn't be enough to kill you in that form. Even if the first guys swiped that, you might still survive. I'm just going to run. Yeah, I'll just run my 40 feet. Okay, so let's do the right. When you get Jump, Jump 20 feet to avoid at least 20 feet of movement and Jump of damage, you run to the edge 20 feet and Jump into the 20 feet.
    I want to see a stegosaurus. I don't know how, but just take a search for Jump. It's basically no, no rule, no only hole for joints. Your or that's just your strength scores. All the rules for jumping are that's just for characters. It doesn't say that's for everybody. No that's true. Yeah. But can you imagine a stegosaurus jumping like a leap in her, like little frilly calliope leap?
    Yeah, like a ballet leap. Yeah. That's why they say technically, cats can't Jump into you because they have a strength of negative four and only three. So a cat can never Jump more than three feet. So you are first of all, you're going to take 16 points, though, from the first attack. It does hit. I also don't have dark vision and I know it's strange you, Jamie, you need to do an feet of damage on her cats all force.
    No, I'm just teasing for five, eight, ten It's I did take actually quite a bit. 26 total. Yep. You're in the middle of it and you're still a lot and you're still a stegosaurus. I mean. Yeah. Does it cost James to take that down or. No, it's Just no reaction to drop a spell. It's a concentration spell and frustrations.
    No effort required. Yeah. No, it or the third round. Yeah. Yeah.
    You got anything else? And you know, cause you didn't use your action, you right? Yeah. Yeah. What can I do? You could have, you could have hit the guy you ran. That's okay. Or he can use the rest of your movement to burn this for the Flying Polymorphic. Now, you can still do it now or use an action to move.
    Yeah, well, if she moves one more, it's going to be enough to pry and take her out of this polymorphism. Then it'll start hurting her actual form. Well, it's like I polymorphism. It's something else that my point to the make up to whatever I polygraphed you Yeah because it okay yep you create a number not he at this to read the rules better.
    Okay I'll swap to a direct in it it's about four It's a renaissance. Now we just need someone with the Task greater in based on you. That is the best Invisibility spells. I Wish I was really cool when you guys look at that spell as a Tyrannosaurus Rex visible. Yeah. Does not ability. You can attack all you want and think of the wall.
    So now you have a level about grade six. All right. The D approach is better. Yep. Animal to attack. Yeah. You have a really it's not a calliope is really pissed off right now These up and war have no idea what you are still learning. Nope use spell so to me one you haven't really used yet. So. And what does your overall pattern like on a T-Rex that don't have overalls?
    I have sparkles and I think I have a little bit of like poke it up spot on me. Usually don't I am not camouflaged. Okay. And I think I have one one of my teeth is flamed out a Gold tooth. No, I'm in on it. a Diamond tooth. Yeah. Little diamonds. Since it's a really big tooth, can it be like a Diamond in the shape of a flower?
    Like lots of little diamonds like a little crazy. Okay, okay, okay. Okay. Just one Diamond. All right, Shadow. You are what I am, aren't I? Okay, What am I going to do? What am I going to do? I will go Invisible one more time. For my last time. You bark that cake. Okay? Okay. Okay. Then I will move back Dead.
    Good enough. And I'm going to shoot my first one of this guy it and try to push him 15 feet under T-Rex his legs into the Spike Growth or this way, Negative. Okay. And since I'm Invisible, that's advantage might kill them out. Right? With your dad. Those are shit roles, but that's okay. Annette 19 now. 21 Yeah, it's going to hit.
    Nope. No. 19 get now that's going to hit is harder now. Universal. Okay, you've got beers. Yeah, I got beers from Lazy Dog and their dinosaur themed beers. It's just like it is a sign. It's just a dinosaur. Night is okay. Goblin brain. What am I doing? Damage. Doing damage. Now I would like to push him 15 feet regardless if if he fails.
    So then the damage is just going to be the bow and the force and 19 damage is going to be more than enough to kill him. when? The whole time you like. That's why he doesn't have much. That's fine. Cool. Cool. So then mice that can strike then will be can I see the Crystal from where I'm at?
    unfortunately, there's now a very large dinosaur in there, Drew. Okay. And I will. I'll hit the doggie. That's close. Since I didn't use the swarm on this guy. Can I use the swarm on that guy? Sure. Okay. Hit with your attack, right? 30, 3002. Hit it. It's very large. So over eight, 1019 for damage. It's enough damage.
    I didn't even use my swarm. So then can I use the swarm to move me? I don't think that's how it works. Is it that you get five feet of movement anyways from your swarm? It says, Yeah, I know. And I only moved know five feet free movement. So that also gets you out of the no opportunity attacks that way too because.
    True that's true It's force movement. Yeah yeah. Well then in that case I will use it to bug your level 11. So technically you could use a dinosaur at ACR 11 Just so you know, are you guys level 11? We are, and none of us remember that. So instead I'm going to use the gathered swarm to I'm Invisible.
    It doesn't matter. Anyway, it could have been higher than guys. There's no other guys. I just realized. I know this is based on ten. Yeah, we're 11. Cool. I didn't notice before, but I don't, because I can also give myself half cover with my swarm. But I don't need to because I'm Invisible. I mean, you got guys frozen, but then there's one guy that's not.
    actually, that one's Dead, no, he's not Dead. It's because he's linked to that guy. God damn it. Whatever. Well, I don't think I can do anything else at the moment because my bonus action was to go Invisible. You guys. No, I'm good. SAS, you were up. All right.
    You know what, though? I'm going to drop the. The bikes, okay? Because there's nobody in there. Everybody's Dead around it. And I don't want the dinosaur to die. Not yet, but thanks. Okay. Okay. That's a chance. I was going to turn into a Giant Eagle and Fly over the damn spikes. Sorry. No, it's okay. I think I might.
    Because if I do that, I can get to the Crystal and attack it in one turn. If I don't, then I can't even make it to the Crystal this turn. So I think I'm still going to wild shape into a Giant Eagle while chips. What a bonus, actually. Right, I'll see. I don't remember to remove the ones that really takes away your action.
    I guess I can actually do the attack. And you thought I was going to be in early night one one Druid circle. I can do this bonus, I think. Yeah. Or cool the moon. yeah, yeah, yeah. Circle the moon. I think I can probably hit harder in my natural shape set. So if I can't attack this turn anyways, then yeah, I think I'll just use.
    I can go straight through the dinosaur. Right. Don't have to go around because she's friendly. Is bigger than you. So he's friendly ish. Give me a little take a friendly. He's blending of gone. I was going to say something but I will pick but let's see. You know what I'm just going to say I don't think she'll touch is going to do much to this because it's a Crystal.
    But I may as well give it a shot because. Next turn to get right next to it like a chill away. So true. But there also is a guy still on the field to fight. There was one that guys are good. Okay, I don't see the other one, you guys, but right next to Crystal. Okay, so all tech, all attack the dude next to the Crystal with, shell touch.
    Yeah, Yeah. 29 to hit the woo. shit. That's awesome. Because remember these ten? He'll be here with this electricity now. Yeah. Yeah. So he he can't Heal until my next turn now. And it's really not that I've only had one guy's been able to actually charge because of everything one reason or another. None of that is it's hard to for 26 necrotic damage had him in half now I Wow you got it.
    That's a good rule Yeah even with three ones still. Well that's a nice big boost of inspiration for me from I'm just Yeah I'm going straight up wreck cause damage trying You're not alone any of now I've got dinosaur covered up behind me. I see. Sass is glowing. I Sleep with this guy. I'll do my first attack in 19 to hit and it's going to hit.
    Okay. I do some damage so I can attack. And 13 damage. Second cat crit. Yes. So now he is also grievously wounded. All of his attacks are a disadvantage. He takes another 20 points of damage. Enough. Actually. You just close quickly through crit. Good job. That's combo damage, good roles guys. team and bonus action I. I mean bonus action.
    I can drink another cheap Potion. I'll drink a cheap posting this time I got a Potion. Healing will burn. It's not much, but healing potions are definitely double for me. So. And that's the Under Healing of Duty four plus two, right? You know, minor. Yeah. Six, seven, seven. No, five can do that. I That's it. All right, great.
    and it's there. I'm already next the Crystal, so I don't need to move anywhere like that in next Shut shadow. Can you. Can you. Can you drop that Spike Growth where those figures are already that. no. Put a new one. Yeah. One out now. Good. Yeah. Drop it. Where they're coming in now. Yeah. You got to run 30 feet to get to.
    They're coming from two places though. You got to remove that good shadow. Are you Invisible right now? I am going until the start of my turn. And then she's going to Little puppy is going to run up to the dinosaur and fail miserably. It's by just sassy. Still hold out. Concentrate. Yeah. That's the other thing too. Such as your concentration would have worn off on that guy and the other one's Dead for some reason.
    But what it is the whole person. Yeah, for a minute. shit. That is nobody here. so there's really. There's still someone held in place. Not in 90 more. So the little Message that SAS got was only good for one round. So. Which means he's got to hurry up and break that Crystal. see, look at that.
    That's stupid. Let's try this. I don't know. I hate some reason the tokens like it doesn't like it. I don't know how it tells the difference between whether it's a new creature, what they call a mook. It's just gotta look. Yeah. Hey, Mook or I realize if I copy these guys, I tend to know the better or if you.
    Hey, Drew on the map and it's going to break, which is a twist. No, look. Okay, it's not enough to hurt his boots or. but he's able to get damage in there. But missed so. Yeah. So those guys ran up coming up behind you, their T rex. And that's all they can do, though. actually, no, he can actually throw a spear.
    Sorry. What's the T rex AC? in the super low 13. Yeah. Yeah. So 16 points of damage on the T rex as a spin out of you're like 100 and something. It's just Metal spears like cuts into know All right and that's their turn Calliope or what could yeah don't worry about them when I'm going to run straight for the Crystal okay And do my multi attack that's so okay attack us ten all roll or attack.
    Yeah. What, are you kidding me? my. So you don't have the thing on your care on the character sheet to click on instead of rolling the dice manually? I don't know. I'll think so. Yeah. my gosh. Rex, those are all buttons you think you can click on all that stuff? I mean, one is also a number on a dice, you know, That's unfortunate.
    You know, it's just Well, I mean, that's your first attack, to be fair or. What are you doing? Yeah, You have some of your tail of back, right? Yeah. Yeah, it's. It's a get. All right. So you don't make the both attacks against the same target those as well. So tails. Tails like this. Bucker. Yeah. You have to, you have to choose because one your front one's your back.
    you're facing your tail. So it's okay, but you get. So I think that's what I'm trying so hard to I mean a little arm or clench like a black tie right here. Well, she just did it. It's a 12. Well, no, it's plus. Plus ten. yeah. So that's going to stand 22. So. Yeah. Yeah. And which one are you attacking?
    What was the attack on the guy on the north side of the Crystal. Okay. Right there. So yeah. Do your damage with your tail. Three. So 11. Nice. Yeah. So that could be enough. Hit it. Right. What did you say. 48 3d8 plus seven. Pretty. Okay. So she gave her a 25 based on it damage it still pretty good though.
    Problem where that where are you seeing that I have a sheet for it if you double or does it shift click. Yeah if you hit shift and then you double click on the Tyrannosaurus Rex you can get its character sheet or on the even the right hand side because you you are able to control it. So you should be able to see it separately.
    And then when you see the character sheet where the multi attack is, you just hit that button is amazing. Okay. I didn't know that was the thing. Thank you. You'll get like there. well if I hit that it gets that And then you hit the bite where it says bite, you'll get the actual normal roll and I get that.
    So I like your rolls better than the airplane. I mean, like we had a character sheet also, like, say you like to do like the contact, like just doing that. So all those things are buttons. That's great, right? Yeah. Anything else? I don't think you got no right Shadow drawer right now. You're being surrounded in that area. There's shadow.
    Yeah, we noticed there because they're coming from up here and then they're dropping right in front of the Crystal. So they're coming up right up here. There's a little like you could see on the wall. There's like a little pipe that comes out there. This one's like, I think I can pull up here. Okay. I don't think I can quite see that over there.
    Because of the pillars and stuff. I can only see the one where you guys, there's a hidden panel. on the other side. The dam didn't have a chance to put all the little details because it did kind of throw this thing together pretty quick. But I keep seeing things show up on the map down there and I'm going, Where the fuck are they coming from?
    Because everything's black and the whole right side of the screen for me as black, yeah, This is a hidden. But I see shadow and three dudes and then they keep showing up. Okay, I can't run through these guys without making a lot of opportunity attacks. Yeah, and you three are over there. Can't you go Invisible? Not anymore.
    I used them all up. Now you could really use it, I really, really, really could have. You did the opposite of what everybody does. What? They played the the hook up. Well, you store everything up is like, I'm going to need this one time. I know. It's because I always forget that I have it. I'm like, I'm going to use it this time.
    So I will back all the way up and do not have them wolfie anymore. I do, but it's only on Amelia. Tack on one person. So running through all three of those guys, I would still have opportunity from the other guys. Unfortunately, two attacks, one and one guy. One I. I know, I know I do. Okay. But the three of you are over there with a giant Tyrannosaurus Rex, so I'm going to trust my party and see down another but tossed out another one.
    Can you move it? Moving. This is another. there we go. I'm going to put it literally right in front of me, as close to me as I can get it. So they have to get through it to get to you. Okay. Exactly. And then I will show you. that's awesome. Yeah. So if they want to hit me, they got to go through it and.
    Then I fight back there. Yeah. Yep. And then I will use my swarm this time. You are using again real quick. It's 21 things like growth. Okay. Yeah. Let me get back to my spell sheet and then I'm going to use my swarm magic to give me half cover as I always forget to have that. To give way.
    no, I can't, because it has to be five moves me. Okay. Damage could fails when I am moved by this form. so after you use your special swarm ability and use the five feet of movement, you then also have half cover. Yeah. So I'm going to do that. My move, if not me of that. it's what I call, you know, move me five feet.
    Okay, I'll have my swarm move me five feet and then use the half cover anchor.
    And I think that's all I can do. All right, Seth, you are up. It's. I am going to get next to Krystal, and I'm going to play it right. So you are only seven to hit. Yeah, that hits 1715 bludgeoning to. Yeah. Yeah. You are a beast tonight, dude. You strike at it, you see a large chunk of it.
    Just break off. But it's still. Yeah, it's still like powered up. yeah. There's no chance that one hit was going to take it out. That's a You got it, Barlow. You are Bayesian sass. Most druids use their wild shapes for all their damage units. Tags. All the cards come from the little corner and massive damage. I mean, it works so well.
    Why wouldn't they help that I gave her a club. Okay. Since the beginning. So more or less. Okay, well, technically. Okay. Die in front of me. did you forget that guy in front of me? Did he attack or he goes after me? He goes after me, right?
    he uses all his movement last year to get there. yeah. That's what it was. Yeah. He moved there now. So then I guess I will go. Reckless begin. I'm hopefully skipping some of that. Just the dog had enough It was able to get to you and 4026 to hit you or eight damage still standing takes it 22 you hit him for 12 damage and still standing now and I'm final freebie 25 it's not going to hit four eight damage one They're just adding infectious fury motherfucker.
    Ooh I'm going to I'm going to poison his mind so he has to make a wisdom. DC 15 that well this isn't the third attack user bonus action. Or is this something that's not bonus? Actually, this is just whenever I hit with my weapons, I can just use this ability. I Can only use it throughout four times. Gotcha.
    Okay. Okay. And then it's okay. So. So what happens? You're doing psychic damage these 815 It will if you fails 15 psychic damage or I can force them to attack another creature. And there's no other creatures next to me Do attack. Is it. Is it wisdom? Save and save. So your wisdom. Yeah, He's actually got a little bit save, but I don't think 12 is going to do it.
    12 is not so you're just how much it will be truly 12 But I think there's a creature in here right? Yes. Why does that change things. Yeah, because I can also instead of they can take in damage, I can force him to make a melee attack against. Another creature of my choosing. But I don't think he can reach that.
    He doesn't have reach. Does he know the menu? Yeah. Take the damage. Well, to take out his two points. So that psychic damage so frickin short shorts come out and he okay, I'll look at the dog. I don't want to be here. So now it's. No, that's my term. There. There's one more. He's going to Go ahead, figure it like that.
    All right. So he will run now to you. Actually, I'm going to dog around first. It makes more sense. 30 feet of damage from 1212. Okay. He's going to go ahead and bite. That's going to be one or 323 hit. Ooh, ooh. Nice damage. 25 points of damage. So could I say 25? You did say 25. I mean that right?
    That's a lot. Sorry. I'm sorry that a little weepy. 13. Sorry, a little bit different. But you need a d I do need a shrink. 708 Actually, you need to do what's called first concentration. I do can 16 your phone and then a strength directive. That is a what's my strength? Plus. So 17 you are fine. So it's not able to take X or damage or grapple you and he takes 32 points of piercing.
    I thought you would. You tell me before I didn't tell you anything. It was given me a number. I gave you my conceive and I gave you my strength. And then. Right. And then she said 12 as in 12 D four. She has the wrong. That's what. Yeah. Gotcha. I thought that was a pretty low number. Yeah, I know.
    32. I forgot how much he moved all that. We'll say let's go for 20 feet. 25 feet. He moved yet. He didn't move 25 feet. He was right. So that is 20 feet that's for sure. Right. Yep. Yep. Yeah. 24 five, five places. You got it. Then he's going to go and do his tax. I don't know that it does.
    20 1802 Beats it. And 20 natural. Yep. sorry. and Agile 20. Yeah. Because I don't have half cover with my swarm because I didn't attack the both of them. That one's a threat. Well, tell me separately because that depends on my conceive. good point. We what? I'm sorry. We as a country that because it's ten or half the damage.
    God. But it's two different people attacking so it could make a difference. All right. Let's see here. What's the over under five feet? So that's 15 for the first attack. Okay. 17, 17. No, no, no, no, no. I'm sorry. That's the wrong one. I can't as a three. So that's 14, which is fine. And then you have to touch Chris that I'm worried about.
    Yeah, that's sort of too in the math on right now to us. So 26. Yeah. Okay so we need a 13. We took me down like half. Come on, don't screw me. yes. Natural 16. So that beat to 13 Spike Growth is still up five. Growth is still up. Yeah. All right, well, I'm hurting, but it's still up.
    You should be able to really run into there is. Well, I guess he could kind of get through that little corner there. no, they're going to he's going to have to go out of here. So we're going to get worried about this guy here, the little dog nipping at your heels still. That's so, so eight for us 13.
    So the Tyrannosaurus Rex takes 13 points of damage as the dog bites into it, but it's not able to do any more than that because you are much bigger than it. Dog is going to bite Barlow and Miss really Remember, they have advantage because I'm reckless. Even lower. Okay. and I know it feels like it's logging but they've got reinforcements for days.
    Tell you guys how we kill the Crystal. The Gollum thing is fucking huge. Probably. Yeah, I think it's still moving. Or shaking, I suppose. no. But the stuff we're doing in here like that hasn't really changed the way it's still that same way. Bounce and then like a right the same thing. Okay, that's who guys these both fast they got 40 movement and then they're using this action for the other.
    Okay so they're getting up to 80 lines and let's put some soldiers on the ground. I mean, you don't have to. Yeah, but I like it. Okay, so this is it's starting to get surrounded over here by they're getting a little bit nervous. They know that the Crystal has been hit once since 5 to 4 feet. But that's all they can do because they have to use their actions to get faster.
    He's still frozen with what? Why you are. I'm coming to get him. We're where to go for a bite on the Crystal. You got it. And says, what was your damage on that? That I wrote down, But I'm not sure which note it is now. 3020 that's going to hit 32 damage 17 this what was your damage 32 to How do you want to do that?
    Yeah, buddy. Crunch Tic TAC for a second. The Light is admiring for reflection in a Crystal, which is why she didn't do so great last time because she got distracted. But she was like, I need to get a grip. Let's do this. So she shakes out her little tiny paws and just this like, I'm going to go in for the kill.
    You got this and just, you know, checks her diamonds one more time to make sure they're spot on and then just clamps down on top. So as you plop down on it and you pull off this large Crystal piece off of it, actually like pulling out the last bit of Crystal that's like stuck inside of this Metal container on the bottom.
    The flashing white Light kind of starts going off everywhere. There's sparks throughout the building. You see each one of you guys has like this like white Light envelop. You almost like an egg, all the it detecting you. And as you guys are kind of in this little shell, everything kind of moves past you. You are now moving through the walls as it whatever it is you guys were in.
    It seemed to have been moving and it keeps moving. But you are staying exactly where you are as it keeps moving in a second hand. I think at this point and this was to continue to wait. So we're frozen in space and it's moving past us. You Yeah, you're you're noticing now you kind of are floating up in the air in white bubble.
    Each one of you guys in your own little personal white bubble as we're kind of like we're standing there like the the war forts and the dogs just kind of looked at you as they were still in the room as a continue like you guys face through the wall, you guys face through a couple more rooms and walls where you see other rooms of other war forge doing other things in this thing.
    And finally you will phase out the final wall. And as you phase out the final wall, you guys are floating above the ground, high floor, like many floor, many hundreds of feet above the ground. And you see that you guys were inside a very large sized war forest that was kind of like causing devastation. You can see now where you guys are.
    There's a path behind you of just like just mass devastation behind you. And it looks like it had gone through some major city. These bubbles kind of start floating down to the ground and off to the side. There's a little hillside off to the side where you can as are floating towards this hill by some direction, by some force.
    You can see the war force like just barely stumbling forward and starting to fall. You hear loud explosions as the parts of it just start falling. You hear sounds off in the distance. As you can see. A military unit coming out, coming down for it looks like they had been waiting for it to finally fall to do its final and not to be picked off earlier.
    As you guys get to this hillside, the the kind of the bubbles kind of pop a little bit and you guys kind of like land on this little hillside. There you see it a you see a howling. that's right. I have pictures for you. I see. I think some of you might have thought something. It's Weird.
    Earlier when you did that Weird part. No the little move, the shift. I think it might have been something like a trap. One of the traps I'd set up, and then somehow it got used against you. I guess because I saw that your token was separated on the. could you see, that's. That's what's. Was that Rock Hill, the pile of rocks or what.
    You know. Okay, I had something on the wrong layer. Okay. So that was the, the large plate Lord of Blades, you guys for there's the doggy. and there was a more force, so it was. Okay, so now you see a little something. he's so cute. She has a long brown hair, just an exuberant kind of thing.
    She seems to be playing her music. And as she's playing our instruments seems to be. Well, it was the magic was. It kind of helped carry you guys out of there? you also see, a another war forged. Kind of like a Leather and Gold all throughout, like a Gold type Metal all throughout it. But then it's got these other kind of, like, pieces of Iron on the outside you could see in his chest where on the War forge you guys had found that circle thing.
    But it looks like he's got this, like Metal plating kind of over protecting whatever little circle, like a little globe other Crystal that's inside of there. But he's very similar in other respects to the more forged you've been fighting and that you guys had found before. Next to them. You also see these this one tiny little creature that looks like it's made of like Rock.
    This is what the he looks like, the one on the bottom here. Not that the girl, but that boy, this little Crystal thing. Crystal thing. Here's Elwood and as it is also next to the war Forge. Do you see another one of those dogs that you saw that you guys fought very similar to it? And there's a flying little creature for a picture for the to shoot second, you see this flying little creature or put them behind her.
    That's why you get a cross between, like, a tiny Dragon and a winged lemur. It's about nine inches from the black nose. It's Barb. Tell short neck. I had a round head long and sinuous mighty fur type body on it. But feathered wings a So those are the kind of the the the beings that you see on this hillside.
    And they also seem to have bastion and Arty who seem to be in some type of Sleep next to them and a little bubble floating you guys, the bubble brought you to them and then up popped and you guys kind of like fell out of the Bear, out of the bubble as these as they're coming up walking up to you.
    And then they were loose a to back kind of like a Bengal style to back. So he comes around the corner like from behind a tree with a kind of mesmerizing pattern of Amber and black striped fur the they kind of come off like a reminiscent of the shadows cast by tall grass in the savanna and these Emerald eyes.
    And she's as she speaks, though it definitely sounds like a voice. You guys heard, but it seems in a different kind of avatar form right now. And it's based. And she comes up to Ellie to the Hatchling and says, you know, I think our deal has been made. And she looks at you and says, Thank you, guys. This kind of came last minute and when you guys died, it was about the only way I thought that I can kill to kill two birds with one stone, if you will.
    I have so many questions, but I don't think we have time for all that. Well, we can leave it right at that moment and then pick it up from right then. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we'll have more where you guys are in a war but aren't native to our plan that we're on. Our World War for are new our Elementals on gymnasium are those common you guys have us like is this one I think I'm not in order These they're not not the best here.
    I actually do have a better option for them. What you see, I know it's getting late, so that's why I'm kind of trying. Are they like the Elementals? They're Humanoid Creatures composed of a Crystal in fragments. Their bodies formed. It has a possesses a fluidity of movement. The bellies, its rigid appearance. The best of looking at those. It almost is like a like a a Crystal creature.
    And they're smaller though you see what the how tall these guys are. Average height five. Not actually, I guess they're full sized them and I thought they were like smaller. I guess he's actually is around a normal size never strong that. No, he's not. He definitely does not resemble Dinosaur, especially based on his native. So now we'll leave it there and we'll figure out how you guys get back then, I guess.
    Yeah. So if you guys do have any questions, I guess for bass or whatever, maybe you guys might have a chance to kind of ask her, but I hope you guys like to. But I was able kind of throw together real quick as fine. Yeah. Thank you. That's pretty brutal. Eric and I. but no matter how brutal it gets, you guys still wave.
    I mean, nobody got to pull out all the tricks tonight. Nobody went down. Nobody died down here. We're getting low in resources, like can tell you. No, we haven't had you guys use your 50% maybe anything. And that's not how Revivify works in this world. I all right. All right, guys. I will see you next week. Thanks, guys.
    I am very sleepy, but. Yes, thank you. It was fun. Yeah.
