02:02:02.719 --> 02:02:04.758
Sam: I have a forgery kit, a poisoner's kit-

02:02:04.758 --> 02:02:07.672
Marisha: Forge some thieves' tools real quick.

02:02:07.672 --> 02:02:10.778
Sam: Climbing gear?

02:02:10.778 --> 02:02:13.929
And a whip.

02:02:13.929 --> 02:02:15.486
Liam: I have one of the earrings, and I say:

02:02:15.486 --> 02:02:19.611
Vax: Scanlan, what exactly is the purpose for this little escapade,

02:02:19.611 --> 02:02:22.556
and will it be ending shortly?

02:02:22.556 --> 02:02:23.996
Sam: Can I reply?

02:02:23.996 --> 02:02:27.292
Matt: You can, through the message-based ear enchantment.

02:02:27.292 --> 02:02:30.351
Scanlan: Just trust me, that I have no idea what I'm doing.

02:02:30.351 --> 02:02:32.488
(all laugh)

02:02:32.488 --> 02:02:34.375
Matt: So, do you wish to pick one of the doors?

02:02:34.375 --> 02:02:35.492
Travis: Do it.

02:02:35.492 --> 02:02:36.761
Laura: Do it! Try it! And then run away.

02:02:36.761 --> 02:02:38.264
Sam: Yeah, I'm gonna try one!

02:02:38.264 --> 02:02:39.581
Matt: Okay, you have disadvantage on this.

02:02:39.581 --> 02:02:40.738
Sam: Of course I do.

02:02:40.738 --> 02:02:42.182
Travis: I love how we're just watching this happen.

02:02:42.182 --> 02:02:43.904
Vax: Pike will mourn your death.

02:02:43.904 --> 02:02:45.119
Matt: So roll twice, and we'll consider this a -

02:02:45.119 --> 02:02:46.546
We'll say just a straight dexterity check.

02:02:46.546 --> 02:02:48.616
Sam: Eleven, plus… zero?

02:02:48.616 --> 02:02:54.146
Matt: You futz with the door for a good minute,

02:02:54.146 --> 02:02:56.252
trying to bend a piece of wire you had,

02:02:56.252 --> 02:02:59.374
thinking to forge some tumblers,

02:02:59.374 --> 02:03:00.438
and eventually get to a point where you hear:

02:03:00.438 --> 02:03:02.738
(tink)

02:03:02.738 --> 02:03:03.877
And it broke.

02:03:03.877 --> 02:03:06.046
(all laugh)

02:03:06.046 --> 02:03:07.499
Sam: I can't do two spells at once,

02:03:07.499 --> 02:03:13.013
so I will give it give it up and I'll make my way to the door.

02:03:13.013 --> 02:03:14.912
Matt: Okay. The door is currently closed.

02:03:14.912 --> 02:03:21.408
Sam: I become un-invisible and I cast Dimension Door.

02:03:21.408 --> 02:03:22.838
Matt: All right.

02:03:22.838 --> 02:03:24.680
Matt: You- (Whoosh.) -blink through this small,

02:03:24.680 --> 02:03:26.820
purplish arcane doorway,

02:03:26.820 --> 02:03:28.517
it brings you directly outside.

02:03:28.517 --> 02:03:30.750
You guys are waiting, Scanlan just pops into view, ‘Ah!’

02:03:30.750 --> 02:03:33.195
Scanlan: It was crazy in there!

02:03:33.195 --> 02:03:35.231
People were farting everywhere!

02:03:35.231 --> 02:03:36.628
(all laugh)

02:03:36.628 --> 02:03:38.028
Tiberius: Really, Scanlan.

02:03:38.028 --> 02:03:42.499
Scanlan: It was not me. They're building a throne room,

02:03:42.499 --> 02:03:45.464
there were some locked doors, man I wish you could have been there,

02:03:45.464 --> 02:03:47.995
it was exciting, but ultimately pointless.

02:03:47.995 --> 02:03:49.406
So let's go down to the mines!

02:03:49.406 --> 02:03:51.821
(All laugh.)

02:03:51.821 --> 02:03:53.295
Vax: I would like to stress again that

02:03:53.295 --> 02:03:56.973
none of these dwarves are our enemies, at all.

02:03:56.973 --> 02:03:59.098
Vex: Soon, I'm sure.

02:03:59.098 --> 02:04:01.272
Vax: We just want to go have some words with Greyspine.

02:04:01.272 --> 02:04:03.195
Grog: And that we do not have our healer, at present.

02:04:03.195 --> 02:04:05.068
Vax: Well we do, but she's very distracted,

02:04:05.068 --> 02:04:06.619
and is not feeling herself.

02:04:06.619 --> 02:04:08.232
Vex: She's very quiet.

02:04:08.232 --> 02:04:09.815
Scanlan: She wanted to stay at the inn this morning.

02:04:09.815 --> 02:04:11.701
Vax: She's feeling awfully BAFTA today, so.

02:04:11.701 --> 02:04:12.981
(All laugh.)

02:04:12.981 --> 02:04:15.739
Scanlan: Let's make our way to the mines, shall we?

02:04:15.739 --> 02:04:17.929
Grog: To the mines, then, yeah.

02:04:17.929 --> 02:04:19.420
Laura: Yes.

02:04:19.420 --> 02:04:20.876
Vax: Let's go get this drunk dwarf!

02:04:20.876 --> 02:04:22.856
Matt: Yes, the bard was doing a lockpick with no lockpicks.

02:04:22.856 --> 02:04:26.005
He was fashioning it from wire.

02:04:26.005 --> 02:04:28.100
Exciting but pointless! All right.

02:04:28.100 --> 02:04:30.705
So, you, you make your way to the edge of the centre ring.

02:04:30.705 --> 02:04:34.681
You find that there are long spiral staircases that move

02:04:34.681 --> 02:04:36.871
to the bottom, where there are elevators

02:04:36.871 --> 02:04:38.406
that bring you to the bottom floor.

02:04:38.406 --> 02:04:43.685
The elevators are chain based, like a ratchet-type system

02:04:43.685 --> 02:04:46.888
with two carvers there, of course.

02:04:46.888 --> 02:04:49.412
As you approach one, eventually you talk with them,

02:04:49.412 --> 02:04:51.091
they lead you down there, but once again they give you

02:04:51.091 --> 02:04:53.087
a look of, “Watch your back!”

02:04:53.087 --> 02:04:54.832
Laura: We point at the ale and give him a thumbs up!

02:04:54.832 --> 02:04:57.837
Matt: They nod, and let you pass.

02:04:57.837 --> 02:05:01.272
As you continue downward into the lower area,

02:05:01.272 --> 02:05:02.892
you can see the red stone that lets a lot

02:05:02.892 --> 02:05:07.708
of the atmospheric glow of Kraghammer is used less and less

02:05:07.708 --> 02:05:10.901
and a lot more central torches are now in place; sconces.

02:05:10.901 --> 02:05:13.373
Almost like the stone itself is either just rarer

02:05:13.373 --> 02:05:16.843
the further down you go or has less of an illuminating power

02:05:16.843 --> 02:05:19.347
the deeper into the earth.

02:05:19.347 --> 02:05:20.992
Laura: (whispering) Okay, now I'm nervous.

02:05:20.992 --> 02:05:22.810
Matt: You eventually reach into the center part of town.

02:05:23.256 --> 02:05:25.523
You now see from where you are standing a number of large structures

02:05:25.523 --> 02:05:27.407
in the very, very center of the bottom part

02:05:27.407 --> 02:05:29.190
of the city of Kraghammer.

02:05:33.919 --> 02:05:35.146
You can see there is a giant domed temple

02:05:36.317 --> 02:05:39.725
that is made of like gold and bronze in the center.

02:05:42.504 --> 02:05:44.260
It looks almost like a gargantuan gazebo that has

02:05:44.260 --> 02:05:46.626
doorways on each side that is currently closed off.

02:05:46.626 --> 02:05:48.550
No guards at it though.

02:05:48.550 --> 02:05:50.548
You do see a number of other buildings.

02:05:50.548 --> 02:05:52.862
There is a large, large, heavy, heavy looking foundry

02:05:52.862 --> 02:05:56.211
far off to the left of you that has a little bit of smoke

02:05:56.211 --> 02:05:57.622
that's coming off of it, but most

02:05:57.622 --> 02:06:01.977
of it looks to be filtered into a giant, metallic funnel

02:06:01.977 --> 02:06:04.265
that is then placed into the rock.

02:06:04.265 --> 02:06:05.921
Almost like all the smoke based exhaust is being funneled

02:06:05.921 --> 02:06:08.320
outside of the mountain.

02:06:08.320 --> 02:06:10.568
That is the closest; that's the foundry.

02:06:10.568 --> 02:06:13.296
And then to the right of you, you wander a bit

02:06:13.296 --> 02:06:16.737
and you can begin to see that part of the mountainside

02:06:16.737 --> 02:06:19.688
to the far right has that look of a strip mine,

02:06:19.688 --> 02:06:22.834
or like a large portion of the minerals has been pulled away

02:06:22.834 --> 02:06:24.642
and is currently being mined further.

02:06:24.642 --> 02:06:25.722
So that looks like probably

02:06:25.722 --> 02:06:31.476
one of the better places to look in looking for the Greyspine Quarry.

02:06:31.476 --> 02:06:33.535
You eventually make your way to the outside of the quarry.

02:06:33.535 --> 02:06:36.445
You now look down into three large pits that just descend

02:06:36.445 --> 02:06:38.833
deeply into the side of the mountain.

02:06:38.833 --> 02:06:40.636
This mine has been going for quite

02:06:40.636 --> 02:06:42.873
some time and a large chunk of this looks like

02:06:42.873 --> 02:06:44.699
it may be being prepped;

02:06:44.699 --> 02:06:46.659
almost like the mine is what's growing Kraghammer.

02:06:46.659 --> 02:06:48.319
The more they mine into the mountain,

02:06:48.319 --> 02:06:50.367
the more they fill the mined area

02:06:50.367 --> 02:06:52.393
with further city construction.

02:06:52.393 --> 02:06:55.630
It's this self perpetuating cycle of expanding the city downward.

02:06:55.630 --> 02:06:57.119
Currently in the quarry,

02:06:57.119 --> 02:06:59.000
you can see there are a number of large, stone, dwarven buildings

02:06:59.000 --> 02:07:00.815
in the edge of it, one of which is the largest of them all,

02:07:00.815 --> 02:07:05.405
looks like it's made more of a black and red, iron aesthetic;

02:07:05.405 --> 02:07:08.066
some of it's been oxidized a little bit and has that rough

02:07:08.066 --> 02:07:10.401
and tumble, iron feel.

02:07:10.401 --> 02:07:13.688
And that one has the most guards around the base of it.

02:07:13.688 --> 02:07:15.803
The carvers are gathered entirely around it.

02:07:15.803 --> 02:07:18.521
Matt: Looking down into the center of the quarry, you can see

02:07:18.521 --> 02:07:21.020
towards the bottom there are a number of tunnels that lead into

02:07:21.020 --> 02:07:25.265
the hillside of Cliffkeep Mountains proper, surrounding Kraghammer.

02:07:26.981 --> 02:07:28.436
Grog: Let's go where the guards are.

02:07:28.436 --> 02:07:29.573
Vex: Let's walk towards the guards.

02:07:29.573 --> 02:07:31.121
Vax: Let's just do this directly, I think.

02:07:31.121 --> 02:07:33.393
Scanlan: Just swords out.

02:07:33.393 --> 02:07:37.506
Keyleth: Wait wait, wait. Before we go up, I take the cask of ale

02:07:37.506 --> 02:07:41.371
and I grow some pretty flowers on it, and I make a nice pretty

02:07:41.371 --> 02:07:43.798
bow and I shine it up a little.

02:07:43.798 --> 02:07:46.653
Vax: Good work, hippy.

02:07:48.621 --> 02:07:49.532
Percy: You're making a fruit basket?

02:07:50.861 --> 02:07:52.276
Keyleth: No, I’m just - it looks attractive now.

02:07:52.276 --> 02:07:53.868
Percy: Like a fruit basket. It looks like a fruit basket.

02:07:53.868 --> 02:07:55.047
Keyleth: It does not look like a fruit basket.

02:07:55.047 --> 02:07:56.127
It's not that ostentatious.

02:07:56.127 --> 02:07:57.645
Percy: It's the "Ale of the Month" Club.

02:07:57.645 --> 02:07:59.752
Vax: In her defense, they probably don't see flowers too often.

02:07:59.752 --> 02:08:00.944
It's a nice touch.

02:08:00.944 --> 02:08:02.422
Percy: That is very fair.

02:08:02.422 --> 02:08:04.789
Orion: I'm going to take this opportunity to cast Stoneskin on myself.

02:08:04.789 --> 02:08:06.692
Matt: Okay. Stoneskin is placed on you.

02:08:06.692 --> 02:08:07.900
Sam: Are you a dwarf still?

02:08:07.900 --> 02:08:09.500
Taliesin: Are you a dwarf made of stone?

02:08:09.500 --> 02:08:11.005
Matt: You have not turned Alter Self off.

02:08:11.005 --> 02:08:12.302
You are still a dwarf.

02:08:12.302 --> 02:08:13.964
Orion: Yeah, that's fine.

02:08:13.964 --> 02:08:15.704
Matt: Oh, Stoneskin is a concentration spell, so yes,

02:08:15.704 --> 02:08:17.590
that would eliminate the Alter Self spell.

02:08:17.590 --> 02:08:19.789
Okay, so you revert back to your dragon form, robed self,

02:08:19.789 --> 02:08:22.572
but Stoneskin is in effect.

02:08:22.572 --> 02:08:25.382
Matt: You using your, what's it called again?

02:08:25.382 --> 02:08:27.869
Marisha: Druidcraft. It's really creative.

02:08:27.869 --> 02:08:28.947
Matt: Druidcraft! Thank you.

02:08:28.947 --> 02:08:31.595
The Prestidigitation for hippies.

02:08:31.595 --> 02:08:34.240
Portions of the wood begin to sprout from the outside of this dark

02:08:34.240 --> 02:08:37.157
wood barrel and form these entangled ivy vines that eventually

02:08:37.157 --> 02:08:41.655
embrace the entirety of this cask with little buds of dark,

02:08:41.655 --> 02:08:43.572
ruddy flowers.

02:08:43.572 --> 02:08:45.702
Something that would definitely appeal to a dwarven aesthetic.

02:08:45.702 --> 02:08:47.559
Marisha: That's hot.

02:08:47.559 --> 02:08:49.519
Matt: You approach the guards, of which there are

02:08:49.519 --> 02:08:51.492
eight currently at the front.

02:08:51.492 --> 02:08:55.233
Laura: Can I see which one of them; use my perception to see

02:08:55.233 --> 02:08:58.675
which one of them looks maybe the most interested or weakest -

02:08:58.675 --> 02:09:00.504
Matt: Would be more of an insight.

02:09:00.504 --> 02:09:02.666
Laura: Insight! Which one of them looks most interested in our party.

02:09:02.666 --> 02:09:06.394
Matt: Yeah, go ahead and roll.

02:09:06.394 --> 02:09:09.501
Laura: Oh, good. I thought that was a 1 but it's not.

02:09:10.958 --> 02:09:12.660
It was a 13.

02:09:12.660 --> 02:09:14.058
Matt: 13? Okay. Strangely enough they are fairly

02:09:14.058 --> 02:09:17.370
distracted and after a rather long,

02:09:17.370 --> 02:09:20.606
uneventful morning most of them are just used to being in armor

02:09:20.606 --> 02:09:23.446
and waiting for business to go down.

02:09:23.446 --> 02:09:25.720
There are a few along the edges that look a little more alert,

02:09:25.720 --> 02:09:30.915
and one of them is looking occasionally down into the quarry.

02:09:30.915 --> 02:09:32.966
Just keeping an eye on the established area.

02:09:32.966 --> 02:09:34.911
Laura: Which one looks like the newest?

02:09:34.911 --> 02:09:36.965
Matt: The newest of the bunch would be the one

02:09:36.965 --> 02:09:40.365
that's on the far left that is looking down into the quarry as well.

02:09:40.365 --> 02:09:44.128
He has a shaved head, has a small brownish beard

02:09:44.128 --> 02:09:45.712
that looks like he's just starting to grow out

02:09:45.712 --> 02:09:47.230
into a nice, long tuft.

02:09:47.230 --> 02:09:48.340
Either it got shaved in some, I don't know,

02:09:48.340 --> 02:09:51.342
terrible college dwarf accident.

02:09:51.342 --> 02:09:55.099
You know part of his entry into some fraternity.

02:09:55.099 --> 02:09:58.269
Grog: Dwarf culture. Dwarf Sigma Sigma.

02:09:58.269 --> 02:10:04.253
Matt: It's a fairly thick tuft of unkempt brown beard

02:10:04.253 --> 02:10:05.771
that goes about that far out.

02:10:05.771 --> 02:10:08.270
It's just starting to be pulled in like tiny little scruffy braids.

02:10:08.270 --> 02:10:10.142
It's not quite there and he probably gets a lot of shit for it

02:10:10.142 --> 02:10:11.440
from the other dwarves.

02:10:11.440 --> 02:10:14.279
But he seems to generally be looking at you guys.

02:10:14.279 --> 02:10:16.434
Vax:: Okay, work your magic.

02:10:16.434 --> 02:10:18.381
Grog: Yeah, do your thing… fuck these dwarves up.

02:10:18.381 --> 02:10:19.912
Vex: No, well, I was just - I just wanted to know -

02:10:19.912 --> 02:10:21.631
Scanlan: What are we trying to do?

02:10:21.631 --> 02:10:24.432
Vex: We brought this gift. Um, hello!

02:10:24.432 --> 02:10:28.010
And we just address all of them, maybe, right now, yeah?

02:10:28.010 --> 02:10:29.260
Percy: She is better at this,

02:10:29.260 --> 02:10:30.710
I am just going to let her do this.

02:10:30.710 --> 02:10:32.215
Vex and Scanlan: Hello, hi!

02:10:32.215 --> 02:10:34.198
Tiberius: Greetings and salutations!

02:10:34.198 --> 02:10:36.861
Matt: The other guards reach back and grab their weapons.

02:10:36.861 --> 02:10:38.450
One of them looking to you.

02:10:38.450 --> 02:10:40.667
Tiberius: Oh, you don't need that.

02:10:40.667 --> 02:10:42.300
Vex: I look over at the shaved-head one

02:10:42.300 --> 02:10:45.168
and I hold his gaze for a little bit.

02:10:45.168 --> 02:10:47.772
Vax: I give Vex a little push forward.

02:10:47.772 --> 02:10:51.837
Dwarven guard: All right, what's your business?

02:10:51.837 --> 02:10:55.083
Vex: Oh, yes, well... we are here to speak with Nostoc.

02:10:55.083 --> 02:11:00.408
We brought a gift for him that's quite remarkable actually.

02:11:00.408 --> 02:11:05.013
Matt: They curl up around the apparent barrel that Grog's holding.

02:11:05.013 --> 02:11:07.604
They look wary of Grog but once they make note

02:11:07.604 --> 02:11:08.673
of the barrel they all -

02:11:08.673 --> 02:11:10.323
Guards: Ooooh.

02:11:10.323 --> 02:11:11.529
Grog: Right? It’s the shit.

02:11:11.529 --> 02:11:13.525
(all laugh)

02:11:13.525 --> 02:11:14.842
Dwarven guard: I’ve heard of this,

02:11:14.842 --> 02:11:16.853
but I have not seen anyone actually drink it.

02:11:16.853 --> 02:11:19.591
There were long standing rumours that this even existed.

02:11:19.591 --> 02:11:20.646
Vex: It exists.

02:11:20.646 --> 02:11:22.294
Scanlan: And it's for Nostoc.

02:11:22.294 --> 02:11:23.636
Dwarven guard: This is a Balgus original?

02:11:23.636 --> 02:11:24.839
Vex: Yes.

02:11:24.839 --> 02:11:27.380
Dwarven guard: Signed by himself I see on the burned, emblazoned wood.

02:11:27.380 --> 02:11:29.945
I'll go talk to him!

02:11:29.945 --> 02:11:31.155
Matt: And he heads inside of the building,

02:11:31.155 --> 02:11:32.217
the doors close behind him.

02:11:32.217 --> 02:11:35.077
The other guards encroach, keeping a very keen eye,

02:11:35.077 --> 02:11:37.760
each one having a bead on the rest of your group.

02:11:37.760 --> 02:11:39.940
About two minutes pass before he comes back,

02:11:39.940 --> 02:11:41.845
opens the door and goes:

02:11:41.845 --> 02:11:43.091
Dwarven guard: Nostoc will see you briefly,

02:11:43.091 --> 02:11:45.338
but you best bring the gift.

02:11:45.338 --> 02:11:46.962
I think that's what's holding his interest.

02:11:46.962 --> 02:11:48.037
Vex: Of course.

02:11:48.037 --> 02:11:48.906
Tiberius: Wonderful!

02:11:48.906 --> 02:11:50.762
Dwarven guard: Inside, please.

02:11:50.762 --> 02:11:53.535
Matt: And him and one other guard flank you guys as you enter,

02:11:53.535 --> 02:11:55.940
making sure that you are not left without that appearance.

02:11:55.940 --> 02:11:58.103
As you are led into the center of this portion

02:11:58.103 --> 02:12:00.600
of the mine's main structure,

02:12:00.600 --> 02:12:02.808
a series of long hallways, you can see there is this general smell

02:12:02.808 --> 02:12:08.338
of soot and ash and broken stone dust in the air.

02:12:08.338 --> 02:12:10.549
A hint of brimstone-ish kind of a smell.

02:12:10.549 --> 02:12:13.536
It's not very pleasant, it's very well worn and pungent

02:12:13.536 --> 02:12:16.000
for those of you who spend most of their time on the surface.

02:12:16.000 --> 02:12:18.741
As you enter there is a general dust in the air,

02:12:18.741 --> 02:12:21.790
a little light seems to peek through from the torches

02:12:21.790 --> 02:12:23.644
that are placed up along the wall.

02:12:23.644 --> 02:12:27.340
You can see this general haze amongst the interior here.

02:12:27.340 --> 02:12:29.533
It is definitely a work environment at the base of an underground

02:12:29.533 --> 02:12:31.591
dwarven establishment used to mine.

02:12:31.591 --> 02:12:34.234
You are led further down the hallway.

02:12:34.234 --> 02:12:36.211
It curves to the left and you are brought

02:12:36.211 --> 02:12:38.682
into a large dwarven study.

02:12:38.682 --> 02:12:40.297
You can see there are books on the walls,

02:12:40.297 --> 02:12:41.972
a series of ledgers and paper stacks

02:12:41.972 --> 02:12:43.153
on a large desk and at the center

02:12:43.153 --> 02:12:46.465
there sits a dwarf with fiery red hair cut very short,

02:12:46.465 --> 02:12:48.054
almost like a buzz-cut on the top,

02:12:48.054 --> 02:12:51.113
with a long, long, long beard that is not braided

02:12:51.113 --> 02:12:55.770
but just kept very smooth and very… not curly, not bunched,

02:12:55.770 --> 02:12:58.429
it's a very straight beard.

02:12:58.429 --> 02:13:00.350
He is very clean cut, he already has this

02:13:00.350 --> 02:13:02.245
intimidating dark glare.

02:13:02.245 --> 02:13:03.952
As you walk into the room he goes:

02:13:03.952 --> 02:13:07.420
Nostoc Greyspine: Okay, you brought me a drink.

02:13:07.420 --> 02:13:09.501
You have my attention.

02:13:09.501 --> 02:13:12.836
What brings you to the mines?

02:13:12.836 --> 02:13:16.582
Scanlan: We should have talked this through before.

02:13:16.582 --> 02:13:18.027
Percy: Well, several things actually.

02:13:18.027 --> 02:13:19.866
Several things bring us to the mine.

02:13:19.866 --> 02:13:20.821
My name of course is

02:13:20.821 --> 02:13:23.507
Percival Fredrickstein Von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III.

02:13:23.507 --> 02:13:25.680
Everyone: You can call him Percy!

02:13:25.680 --> 02:13:27.553
Matt: He raises his finger and goes:

02:13:27.553 --> 02:13:30.101
Nostoc: You have not paid for your pleasantries yet.

02:13:30.101 --> 02:13:32.662
Vex: Oh, of course, of course. Grog, if you would.

02:13:32.662 --> 02:13:35.557
Liam: Tap that motherfucker!

02:13:42.944 --> 02:13:45.940
Travis: I am assuming he had a goblet on the table.

02:13:46.990 --> 02:13:48.830
Matt: As you pour it up he pulls under his desk

02:13:48.830 --> 02:13:50.762
and pulls up a goblet.

02:13:50.762 --> 02:13:52.022
As you fill it -

02:13:52.022 --> 02:13:56.044
Nostoc: Top it off! Thank you!

02:13:56.044 --> 02:13:58.179
Now put on the side of the desk!

02:13:58.521 --> 02:14:00.613
Scanlan: Wait! Mister Greyspine -

02:14:00.613 --> 02:14:03.108
Oh, okay, all right.

02:14:03.108 --> 02:14:04.950
Matt: Puts it down.

02:14:04.950 --> 02:14:08.324
Nostoc: (satisfied sigh)

02:14:08.324 --> 02:14:11.859
Vex: Is it as amazing as we've heard?

02:14:11.859 --> 02:14:15.503
Nostoc: It's pretty fucking good.

02:14:15.503 --> 02:14:17.861
Matt: He takes another long drag, just -

02:14:17.861 --> 02:14:20.300
while making sure you all watch him do this.

02:14:20.300 --> 02:14:22.512
This goes on probably a little longer, the pageantry

02:14:22.512 --> 02:14:25.017
of him drinking this in front of you is definitely a power play,

02:14:25.017 --> 02:14:29.780
and he is establishing some sort of unspoken dominance in the room.

02:14:29.780 --> 02:14:30.971
Eventually he finishes his tankard,

02:14:30.971 --> 02:14:34.050
sets it down under the desk again.

02:14:34.050 --> 02:14:37.596
Nostoc: Right… so. Where were we?

02:14:37.596 --> 02:14:40.240
Percy: We were here to call upon your expertise.

02:14:40.240 --> 02:14:43.380
We imagine that we are not the first strangers to

02:14:43.380 --> 02:14:45.608
Kraghammer to come through -

02:14:45.608 --> 02:14:46.725
Vex: -  in the last few weeks.

02:14:46.725 --> 02:14:49.355
Percy: - in the last few weeks.

02:14:49.355 --> 02:14:53.882
We believe one of our compatriots had some dealings with you,

02:14:53.882 --> 02:14:59.375
perhaps not as… pleasant as the dealings we are hoping to have.

02:14:59.375 --> 02:15:01.748
Scanlan: A lady, in fact.

02:15:01.748 --> 02:15:03.669
Vex: A halfling.

02:15:03.669 --> 02:15:04.794
Matt: At which point, as you say that,

02:15:04.794 --> 02:15:06.970
he gets this grin to his face and goes:

02:15:06.970 --> 02:15:08.955
Nostoc: Aye, I know of the one you speak.

02:15:08.955 --> 02:15:10.419
Vex: Yes.

02:15:10.419 --> 02:15:12.480
Nostoc: She is a strong-headed one, that one.

02:15:12.480 --> 02:15:13.459
Percy: Yes.

02:15:13.459 --> 02:15:17.460
Nostoc: She stepped on a few toes around this place.

02:15:17.460 --> 02:15:20.029
Tiberius: Oh, is she clumsy?

02:15:21.032 --> 02:15:25.180
Nostoc: One could say that, aye.

02:15:25.180 --> 02:15:27.799
You say you are compatriots of hers?

02:15:27.799 --> 02:15:32.747
Percy: We are here to mend any broken bridges, so to speak.

02:15:32.747 --> 02:15:35.240
Keyleth: Or broken toes, if you will.

02:15:35.240 --> 02:15:37.457
Nostoc: She certainly left a mess in her wake.

02:15:37.457 --> 02:15:39.793
There's this strange vision quest she kept talking about.

02:15:39.793 --> 02:15:42.352
It brought her into atmospheres…

02:15:42.352 --> 02:15:44.511
portions of this city, portions of my business

02:15:44.511 --> 02:15:47.706
that she has no right trespassing on.

02:15:47.706 --> 02:15:50.195
She went against carver rules,

02:15:50.195 --> 02:15:52.426
she broke away from partial arrest

02:15:52.426 --> 02:15:55.436
and she went screaming down into the caverns of our mines

02:15:55.436 --> 02:15:57.532
without my permission, blade drawn

02:15:57.532 --> 02:16:00.505
on some crazed suicide mission.

02:16:00.505 --> 02:16:04.601
Vex: You know what? We'll go after her.

02:16:04.601 --> 02:16:05.761
We'll bring her out.

02:16:05.761 --> 02:16:07.542
We'll get her out of your mines.

02:16:07.542 --> 02:16:09.335
Nostoc: Great. I'd like that actually.

02:16:09.335 --> 02:16:10.442
Vex: Good!

02:16:10.442 --> 02:16:12.785
Percy: And we'd be happy to clear out anything unpleasant

02:16:12.785 --> 02:16:15.276
that we happen to find in there in the meantime.

02:16:15.276 --> 02:16:17.873
Tiberius: How did she look?

02:16:17.873 --> 02:16:19.526
Grog: What?

02:16:19.526 --> 02:16:21.905
Nostoc: She looked small and angry.

02:16:21.905 --> 02:16:25.299
She seemed to have some weight to her.

02:16:25.299 --> 02:16:27.339
She was a strong lass.

02:16:27.339 --> 02:16:28.959
Tiberius: So not a looker is what you are saying.

02:16:28.959 --> 02:16:30.435
Keyleth: That's not very nice.

02:16:30.435 --> 02:16:31.621
Matt: And he gives you this strange look and goes:

02:16:31.621 --> 02:16:36.602
Nostoc: I will not discuss the physical aesthetics of a halfling.

02:16:36.602 --> 02:16:38.501
Sam: The dwarf is a feminist.

02:16:38.501 --> 02:16:42.463
Vex: How much would this task be worth to you?

02:16:42.463 --> 02:16:43.665
Obviously we are doing you quite a favour

02:16:43.665 --> 02:16:47.803
and we brought you quite a gift!

02:16:47.803 --> 02:16:50.160
Scanlan: This cost us a thousand gold.

02:16:50.160 --> 02:16:51.512
Tiberius (quietly to Scanlan): Did it?

02:16:51.512 --> 02:16:54.067
Nostoc: Obviously this lass means a lot to you, doesn't she?

02:16:54.067 --> 02:16:56.182
Vex: No, no, no, but I know she is probably

02:16:56.182 --> 02:16:59.886
wreaking havoc on your mines.

02:16:59.886 --> 02:17:01.924
Vax: We've come to correct the wrongs

02:17:01.924 --> 02:17:04.995
that she's done and come to bring her home.

02:17:04.995 --> 02:17:07.093
Keyleth: It also sounds like there are some other

02:17:07.093 --> 02:17:10.305
terrible things wreaking havoc on your mines.

02:17:10.305 --> 02:17:12.474
Nostoc: There is nothing going on, we're fine.

02:17:12.474 --> 02:17:13.807
We have everything under control,

02:17:13.807 --> 02:17:15.333
we don't need your help for that.

02:17:15.333 --> 02:17:16.522
If you want to find your friend,

02:17:16.522 --> 02:17:19.249
go find her! If she is still alive.

02:17:19.249 --> 02:17:22.144
If not, take her corpse back and leave.

02:17:22.144 --> 02:17:23.341
Percy: It's not help, sir.

02:17:23.341 --> 02:17:25.471
We are simply respecting you as a businessman.

02:17:25.471 --> 02:17:26.584
And as a businessman I am sure

02:17:26.584 --> 02:17:31.536
that you would disagree with unceremonious charity

02:17:31.536 --> 02:17:34.755
whether it would be to give it or receive it.

02:17:34.755 --> 02:17:36.594
We are making sure that our dealings with you

02:17:36.594 --> 02:17:39.159
are fair and balanced.

02:17:39.159 --> 02:17:41.429
Nostoc: I appreciate your offering.

02:17:41.429 --> 02:17:43.275
You have bought your time.

02:17:43.275 --> 02:17:46.236
Now, if you are here to go find your friend I’ll let you pass.

02:17:46.236 --> 02:17:48.218
You may pass into the mine.

02:17:48.218 --> 02:17:50.813
But - if at any moment you cross over

02:17:50.813 --> 02:17:54.227
to any sort of thieving bullshite -

02:17:54.227 --> 02:17:57.348
Matt: Looks over at you.

02:17:57.348 --> 02:18:04.186
Nostoc: - I recommend that you fall down the same path

02:18:04.186 --> 02:18:08.249
your friend likely did and get killed real quick.

02:18:08.249 --> 02:18:10.602
I don't take kindly to those who cross on my business.

02:18:10.602 --> 02:18:12.906
Percy: I doubt that we could find anything of more value

02:18:12.906 --> 02:18:15.032
that what we have already brought you.

02:18:15.032 --> 02:18:18.008
Vax: We are here to right wrongs and I promise you,

02:18:18.008 --> 02:18:20.993
our business is finding her and returning home.

02:18:20.993 --> 02:18:22.266
Nostoc: Then go.

02:18:22.266 --> 02:18:23.749
Vex'ahlia: Is that our business?

02:18:23.749 --> 02:18:26.763
Grog: Yeah, we are here to right wrongs and right lefts.

02:18:26.763 --> 02:18:30.308
Percy: And write comment cards.

02:18:30.308 --> 02:18:32.193
Marisha: Wait, before we dive into this mountain -

02:18:32.193 --> 02:18:36.314
we know that there's ghouls and god knows what else down there.

02:18:36.314 --> 02:18:38.554
Shouldn't we find out?

02:18:38.554 --> 02:18:40.529
Tiberius: Yes we should. Maybe some arcane house could tell us

02:18:40.529 --> 02:18:42.305
how to deal with these things.

02:18:42.305 --> 02:18:43.931
Vex'ahlia: Yes, yes, yes, yes.

02:18:43.931 --> 02:18:46.462
Do we have permission to enter within the next few days?

02:18:46.462 --> 02:18:48.494
Obviously we might need to be prepared.

02:18:48.494 --> 02:18:50.633
Tiberius: Yes do we have badges that we wear over -

02:18:50.633 --> 02:18:53.250
so that they know -

02:18:56.924 --> 02:19:02.276
Nostoc: I'll speak with the men. They’ll let you down.

02:19:02.276 --> 02:19:05.893
If you come back, good on you.

02:19:07.130 --> 02:19:08.683
I think our business here is done.

02:19:08.683 --> 02:19:09.577
Percy: Yes.

02:19:09.577 --> 02:19:11.138
Tiberius: Very good!

02:19:11.138 --> 02:19:14.521
Matt: At which point you hear muffled in the distance

02:19:14.521 --> 02:19:17.675
a loud ringing of a very loud bell.

02:19:18.960 --> 02:19:21.691
At which point he kinda perks up a bit.

02:19:21.691 --> 02:19:24.894
Nostoc: Our business here is done.

02:19:24.894 --> 02:19:26.616
Please, shove off.

02:19:26.616 --> 02:19:28.309
Scanlan: Which way do we go?

02:19:28.309 --> 02:19:32.450
Matt: He looks over to the two other guards who are up front.

02:19:32.450 --> 02:19:35.297
The two carvers say, “This way.”

02:19:35.297 --> 02:19:38.982
Liam: While he is talking I take a flask out of my cloak and

02:19:38.982 --> 02:19:42.502
approach the barrel and surreptitiously pour

02:19:42.502 --> 02:19:44.674
a little bit of it into the flask.

02:19:44.674 --> 02:19:46.022
Matt: Sleight of hand check.

02:19:46.022 --> 02:19:47.313
Sam: Oh Jesus. You’re stealing beer?!

02:19:47.313 --> 02:19:49.287
Orion: No, no, because we have to give it to those guards.

02:19:49.287 --> 02:19:50.883
Sam: Fuck those guards, I can kill them all.

02:19:50.883 --> 02:19:55.448
Travis: Roll, roll, roll you bastard, roll.

02:19:55.448 --> 02:19:58.289
Laura: Can I talk to good old Nostoc while he's doing that?

02:19:58.289 --> 02:19:59.441
Matt: He currently does not seem like

02:19:59.441 --> 02:20:00.883
the talkative type at the moment,

02:20:00.883 --> 02:20:02.359
you can certainly try.

02:20:02.359 --> 02:20:03.870
Taliesin: I am going to make a fumble.

02:20:03.870 --> 02:20:05.705
I am going to attempt to assist a slight of hand

02:20:05.705 --> 02:20:06.879
with a bit of a fumble.

02:20:06.879 --> 02:20:08.259
Matt: He has already rolled it.

02:20:08.259 --> 02:20:09.683
Laura: Damn it. I am going to fall down.

02:20:09.683 --> 02:20:11.245
In front of Nostoc.

02:20:11.245 --> 02:20:12.248
Sam: Oh!

02:20:12.248 --> 02:20:13.857
Liam: 13.

02:20:13.857 --> 02:20:15.058
Sam: No chance.

02:20:15.058 --> 02:20:16.906
Laura: I am going to fall down in front of Nostoc.

02:20:16.906 --> 02:20:18.092
Liam: 13.

02:20:18.092 --> 02:20:19.628
Marisha: Come on!

02:20:19.628 --> 02:20:21.401
Taliesin: He is distracted by a bell.

02:20:21.401 --> 02:20:22.690
Matt: As you fill your flask...

02:20:22.690 --> 02:20:25.958
(all groan)

02:20:27.392 --> 02:20:31.708
Matt: You hear this loud - (clears throat) -

02:20:32.420 --> 02:20:35.086
Vex: Ow, ow, oh my ankle.

02:20:35.086 --> 02:20:37.340
(all laugh)

02:20:37.340 --> 02:20:39.605
Vex: It hurts so very much.

02:20:39.605 --> 02:20:43.480
Matt: This is the first time you have witnessed

02:20:43.480 --> 02:20:50.596
the pristine, delicate yet well trained palm of a dwarven hand

02:20:50.596 --> 02:20:52.601
go straight to its forehead.

02:20:52.601 --> 02:20:55.059
(all laugh)

02:20:55.059 --> 02:20:57.527
Vax: I carry the flask up to his cup and refill it and say,

02:20:57.527 --> 02:21:02.838
“In my kingdom when a deal is set we drink together.

02:21:02.838 --> 02:21:07.475
And I would like, not much, but to just pour us all a drink

02:21:07.475 --> 02:21:12.056
and agree, surely this cask is weeks worth of-”

02:21:12.056 --> 02:21:17.026
Nostoc: Get out of my office.

02:21:17.026 --> 02:21:18.158
Sam: Let’s just go.

02:21:18.158 --> 02:21:19.749
Marisha: Take the flask.

02:21:19.749 --> 02:21:22.440
Vax: I can see it is a cultural difference, my apologies.

02:21:22.440 --> 02:21:25.785
Tiberius: Stop it. Just go! What are you doing?

02:21:25.785 --> 02:21:27.453
Liam: You’re one to talk!

02:21:27.453 --> 02:21:29.373
Orion: I am on the earring.

02:21:29.373 --> 02:21:31.725
Matt: At which point, a second and a third bell starts going off

02:21:36.076 --> 02:21:36.326
and the guards that are waiting for you guys -

02:21:37.706 --> 02:21:37.995
they start leading you outside

02:21:37.995 --> 02:21:39.528
and as you make your way outside the main building,

02:21:42.806 --> 02:21:45.011
you can now hear voices shouting, down the quarry below.

02:21:46.206 --> 02:21:47.797
Laura: I lean down to one of the guards and say:

02:21:48.786 --> 02:21:49.201
Vex: What is that bell for?

02:21:50.366 --> 02:21:50.642
Dwarf Guard: Something is flushing out of the quarry.

02:21:51.779 --> 02:21:52.571
Laura: Flushing, what does that mean?

02:21:54.066 --> 02:21:54.454
Dwarf Guard: We don't know.

02:21:55.992 --> 02:21:56.355
Matt: At which point some of the guards are

02:21:57.684 --> 02:21:58.406
motioning each other to follow and some of them

02:21:59.657 --> 02:22:00.305
start going down to one of the tracks that leads down

02:22:01.334 --> 02:22:01.584
to one of the nearest quarry below.

02:22:04.469 --> 02:22:06.602
Taliesin: Just try and like practically usher

02:22:06.602 --> 02:22:07.717
our guards in that direction,

02:22:07.840 --> 02:22:09.195
since they seem to want to go in that direction.

02:22:09.666 --> 02:22:11.063
Let’s see if we can push them in that direction.

02:22:11.063 --> 02:22:13.587
Matt: Okay, you guys follow down towards the quarry,

02:22:13.706 --> 02:22:15.358
you ask the guard that question and he goes:

02:22:16.155 --> 02:22:16.772
Guard: I don't know, we have had quite a few

02:22:18.266 --> 02:22:18.685
interesting things come through.

02:22:19.838 --> 02:22:20.804
Vex: Like what? Oh, like what?

02:22:21.906 --> 02:22:22.303
Travis: He already said.

02:22:23.129 --> 02:22:23.742
Matt: He kinda swallows and says:

02:22:24.869 --> 02:22:25.119
Guard: Things I can't describe.

02:22:25.119 --> 02:22:26.967
Percy: Well, we can certainly help, lead on.

02:22:29.096 --> 02:22:29.986
Marisha: Is there anybody running out?

02:22:31.747 --> 02:22:34.194
Matt: Not yet. As you head halfway down the quarry walkway,

02:22:34.313 --> 02:22:35.961
you begin seeing dwarves start running out

02:22:38.611 --> 02:22:38.861
of one of the large quarry tunnels.

02:22:38.861 --> 02:22:41.235
Marisha: I grab one of them.

02:22:41.606 --> 02:22:42.810
Matt: Well, they are quite a distance from you.

02:22:43.726 --> 02:22:44.649
You are still walking down the side.

02:22:45.884 --> 02:22:46.134
They’re a good 100 feet from you.

02:22:46.966 --> 02:22:47.356
Marisha: Okay.

02:22:48.749 --> 02:22:49.053
Matt: They start running at you, you see blood

02:22:49.053 --> 02:22:50.200
streaking down one of their faces.

02:22:50.606 --> 02:22:51.234
Grog: Yes!

02:22:51.234 --> 02:22:52.704
Matt: They're charging out, one of them has a weapon and is limping,

02:22:55.306 --> 02:22:56.739
and you start seeing small green scampering things rushing through.

02:23:00.626 --> 02:23:01.240
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, goblins come rushing out of the tunnel.

02:23:01.240 --> 02:23:02.352
Marisha: Oh, shit!

02:23:03.026 --> 02:23:04.400
Scanlan: Aah, I don’t like these guys.

02:23:04.566 --> 02:23:07.045
Marisha: Don’t you have a family history or something?

02:23:07.647 --> 02:23:09.362
Laura: We should attack them! I string my bow.

02:23:09.746 --> 02:23:11.239
Matt: The three dwarves that are running out, one of them gets

02:23:11.986 --> 02:23:12.945
hacked down by one of the goblins and jumps on them

02:23:13.506 --> 02:23:14.584
and is tearing his neck.

02:23:15.186 --> 02:23:15.723
Taliesin: I take a shot. Right now.

02:23:16.266 --> 02:23:16.575
Laura: I take a shot. I shoot it!

02:23:17.529 --> 02:23:17.779
Matt: Okay, both you guys roll -

02:23:18.326 --> 02:23:18.870
Liam: I throw a dagger.

02:23:18.870 --> 02:23:19.900
Matt: You throw a dagger?

02:23:19.926 --> 02:23:20.967
Liam: Yeah.

02:23:20.967 --> 02:23:22.047
Matt: Three of you, roll for attack.

02:23:22.047 --> 02:23:24.630
Taliesin: 19.

02:23:24.630 --> 02:23:25.881
Laura: 15.

02:23:25.881 --> 02:23:28.531
Orion: Is there a clear area with just a bunch of goblins running?

02:23:28.531 --> 02:23:30.628
Matt: There is an open, almost like a funnel towards the tunnel.

02:23:30.628 --> 02:23:33.581
Orion: I’m gonna throw a little fireball, right there.

02:23:33.581 --> 02:23:35.231
Where those guys are.

02:23:35.231 --> 02:23:37.158
Matt: Okay, so you guys you all hit from this distance

02:23:37.158 --> 02:23:39.245
because goblins are puny little things.

02:23:39.245 --> 02:23:40.383
They are still a little small to see but you are all

02:23:40.383 --> 02:23:42.415
pretty well trained and pretty honed with your aim.

02:23:42.415 --> 02:23:44.851
You fire, simultaneously, gunshots echo through the hallway,

02:23:44.851 --> 02:23:49.443
arrows, flying dagger, you see three goblins

02:23:49.443 --> 02:23:52.177
just fall off a nearby dwarf who goes:

02:23:52.177 --> 02:23:53.930
Dwarf: Unh, thank -

02:23:53.930 --> 02:23:56.737
Matt: - at which point a large fireball explodes,

02:23:56.737 --> 02:23:59.829
killing off about 10 or so of the goblins.

02:23:59.829 --> 02:24:01.521
And probably 2 of the dwarves.

02:24:01.521 --> 02:24:03.908
Tiberius: I am sorry about that.

02:24:03.908 --> 02:24:06.887
Matt: At which point, the guards kinda stopped.

02:24:06.887 --> 02:24:07.860
Scanlan: Did you do that?

02:24:07.860 --> 02:24:08.629
Tiberius: Yeah.

02:24:08.629 --> 02:24:09.683
Scanlan: Fuck.

02:24:09.683 --> 02:24:11.146
Matt: And they they start looking around and

02:24:11.146 --> 02:24:12.504
they see you pull out your weapons and they all

02:24:12.504 --> 02:24:13.874
take a step back and realise

02:24:13.874 --> 02:24:15.326
they don't want to die either.

02:24:15.326 --> 02:24:17.263
Guard: Well go, if you’re going to help, go!

02:24:17.263 --> 02:24:18.681
Percy: We run straight in.

02:24:18.681 --> 02:24:20.445
Matt: With you guys charging in, you can now see

02:24:20.445 --> 02:24:21.646
a handful more goblins are rushing out.

02:24:21.646 --> 02:24:23.202
They are like running really fast, sprinting -

02:24:23.202 --> 02:24:26.577
Keyleth: I throw Entangle up, in the distance

02:24:26.577 --> 02:24:30.586
where they’re coming from.

02:24:30.586 --> 02:24:32.117
Matt: Okay, what’s the radius on that?

02:24:32.117 --> 02:24:33.575
Marisha: Like a hundred feet.

02:24:33.575 --> 02:24:34.691
Matt: That's the range. What is the radius?

02:24:34.691 --> 02:24:37.495
Marisha: Oh, 20 foot radius.

02:24:37.495 --> 02:24:38.620
Matt: 20 foot radius. Okay.

02:24:38.620 --> 02:24:42.543
So you find a portion of the central part

02:24:42.543 --> 02:24:44.650
where the things exit from the tunnel and

02:24:44.650 --> 02:24:46.167
you see these strange reddish vines begin

02:24:46.167 --> 02:24:47.559
to protrude and to begin to grab

02:24:47.559 --> 02:24:49.559
nearby goblins and pull them up in this massive,

02:24:49.559 --> 02:24:53.917
weird vine creature.

02:24:53.917 --> 02:24:56.454
At which point you hear - (stomp stomp) - and you now see two

02:24:56.454 --> 02:24:58.907
larger ogre-like creatures come storming out.

02:24:58.907 --> 02:25:00.144
Keyleth: Oh, shit!

02:25:00.144 --> 02:25:01.665
Tiberius: Wonderful!

02:25:01.665 --> 02:25:02.814
Laura: Ogres?

02:25:02.814 --> 02:25:04.079
Matt: Everyone roll initiative.

02:25:04.079 --> 02:25:06.975
(all cheer)

02:25:06.975 --> 02:25:09.725
Marisha: Oh, fuck. Goddammit.

02:25:09.725 --> 02:25:12.384
Orion: Fuck yeah.

02:25:12.384 --> 02:25:15.359
Travis: Take it!

02:25:18.243 --> 02:25:22.332
Matt: All right, do we have initiatives 25 to 20?

02:25:22.332 --> 02:25:23.489
Taliesin: 27.

02:25:26.223 --> 02:25:26.686
Marisha: Holy shit! You rolled a 20?

02:25:28.102 --> 02:25:28.617
Taliesin: I rolled a 20 plus 7.

02:25:30.057 --> 02:25:30.745
Orion: 21.

02:25:30.745 --> 02:25:31.706
Laura: Oh I didn't roll yet. Wait, wait! I didn't roll yet.

02:25:31.722 --> 02:25:32.945
Matt: Okay, 21 you said?

02:25:33.482 --> 02:25:33.862
Orion: I have 21.

02:25:34.582 --> 02:25:34.898
Matt: 21 for Tiberius.

02:25:34.898 --> 02:25:35.682
What did you get?

02:25:35.682 --> 02:25:36.667
One?

02:25:36.667 --> 02:25:37.825
Awww.

02:25:37.825 --> 02:25:38.651
Marisha: Oh, I rolled a 2.

02:25:38.651 --> 02:25:39.792
Liam: Well, wait. It's 6 with the plus.

02:25:39.792 --> 02:25:41.926
Scanlan: Fellows. I don't like goblins.

02:25:41.926 --> 02:25:42.968
Laura: 18.

02:25:42.968 --> 02:25:44.924
Matt: You now see Scanlan, who’s usually a jovial individual,

02:25:44.924 --> 02:25:46.919
his eyes begin to tense with fury.

02:25:46.919 --> 02:25:48.607
Scanlan: I don't like goblins.

02:25:48.607 --> 02:25:50.023
Keyleth: Is there anything that you know?

02:25:50.023 --> 02:25:55.939
Scanlan: No, they will all die. Don't spare any of them.

02:25:55.939 --> 02:25:57.174
Travis: Copy that.

02:25:57.174 --> 02:25:58.991
Laura: 18.

02:25:58.991 --> 02:26:00.547
Matt: All right, so we have -

02:26:00.547 --> 02:26:01.673
Travis: 18 too.

02:26:01.673 --> 02:26:05.913
Taliesin: 27!

02:26:05.913 --> 02:26:07.002
Laura: What?!

02:26:07.002 --> 02:26:08.080
Travis: Yeah, buddy.

02:26:08.080 --> 02:26:10.012
Taliesin: I have 27 initiative.

02:26:10.012 --> 02:26:15.144
Matt: 15 to 10? 10 to 5? 6.

02:26:15.144 --> 02:26:17.334
Taliesin: Wow, oh my god.

02:26:17.334 --> 02:26:18.556
Sam: I got a three.

02:26:18.556 --> 02:26:21.154
Matt: Okay. (laughs) All right.

02:26:21.154 --> 02:26:24.534
Marisha: 4.

02:26:24.534 --> 02:26:25.955
Liam: It was a sudden attack, man.

02:26:25.955 --> 02:26:27.838
Sam: We weren't ready.

02:26:27.838 --> 02:26:29.342
Matt: You got a 3.

02:26:29.342 --> 02:26:31.424
Marisha: To be fair I just cast entangle. It kinda works.

02:26:31.424 --> 02:26:33.926
I'm distracted holding entangle.

02:26:33.926 --> 02:26:35.246
Matt: Yeah, it's fine. All right.

02:26:35.246 --> 02:26:36.722
And then we have Scanlan.

02:26:36.722 --> 02:26:38.334
I'll get you guys in placement here,

02:26:39.646 --> 02:26:42.998
as your bear is currently back at the inn.

02:26:42.998 --> 02:26:43.707
Laura: He is still?

02:26:43.707 --> 02:26:45.662
Matt: Unless you wanted to bring him along.

02:26:45.662 --> 02:26:46.602
Taliesin: I thought we brought him along.

02:26:46.602 --> 02:26:48.242
Laura: Well, I thought I brought him.

02:26:48.242 --> 02:26:49.422
I should have mentioned that.

02:26:49.422 --> 02:26:51.073
Matt: All right, we'll say you brought him along.

02:26:51.073 --> 02:26:51.909
Laura: Okay.

02:26:51.909 --> 02:26:52.702
Matt: That's fine.

02:26:52.702 --> 02:26:54.042
Laura: I'm sorry, I should have emphasized that more.

02:26:54.042 --> 02:26:55.724
Matt: Do keep in mind... That's all right.

02:26:55.724 --> 02:27:02.080
Those of you going first we're going to keep you on the field here.

02:27:04.342 --> 02:27:05.558
Laura: Oh, god.

02:27:06.322 --> 02:27:10.923
Matt: A number of goblins that are currently held over here.

02:27:12.164 --> 02:27:15.622
Sam: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

02:27:15.622 --> 02:27:17.142
Laura: They're easy. Goblins are easy.

02:27:17.142 --> 02:27:18.520
Orcs, orcs are not.

02:27:18.520 --> 02:27:19.662
Travis: Yeah, those are mine.

02:27:19.662 --> 02:27:20.882
Liam: Ogres.

02:27:20.882 --> 02:27:21.812
Laura: Ogres?!

02:27:21.812 --> 02:27:24.308
Matt: All righty. So top of the round, Percy you're up.

02:27:24.308 --> 02:27:26.391
Percy: I'm sitting down and I'm busting out Bad News.

02:27:26.391 --> 02:27:28.221
Marisha: Bust out Bad News!

02:27:28.221 --> 02:27:30.982
Matt: Okay. So Percy stops just as he gets to the quarry,

02:27:30.982 --> 02:27:33.662
a little bit elevated, and he pulls out

02:27:33.662 --> 02:27:36.802
from a small sack on his back this large elongated contraption,

02:27:36.802 --> 02:27:39.602
this weird construction that looks similar to

02:27:39.602 --> 02:27:41.132
the Pepperbox he usually carries,

02:27:41.132 --> 02:27:43.017
but much larger and cumbersome.

02:27:43.017 --> 02:27:45.737
He sets it up on the ground with a small stand at the front

02:27:45.737 --> 02:27:47.995
and preps itself with a visual point.

02:27:47.995 --> 02:27:49.821
Percy: Ogre.

02:27:49.821 --> 02:27:50.502
Matt: Ogre back here?

02:27:50.502 --> 02:27:51.752
Percy: Yup.

02:27:51.752 --> 02:27:53.456
Matt: All right, go ahead and roll for your attack with Bad News.

02:27:53.456 --> 02:27:54.835
Marisha: Have you used it before?

02:27:54.835 --> 02:27:56.840
Taliesin: Nope, first time.

02:27:56.840 --> 02:28:00.254
Matt: His own tinkered construction, Bad News.

02:28:00.254 --> 02:28:03.162
Taliesin: That's a... 30 attack.

02:28:03.162 --> 02:28:06.687
Matt: Yup, that'll do it. Go ahead and roll damage.

02:28:06.687 --> 02:28:07.897
Marisha: Does that critical for you?

02:28:07.897 --> 02:28:10.082
Taliesin: 19 actually might.

02:28:10.082 --> 02:28:11.234
Matt: Natural 19?

02:28:11.234 --> 02:28:12.288
Taliesin: Natural 19.

02:28:12.288 --> 02:28:13.181
Matt: Yeah, that should critical for you.

02:28:13.181 --> 02:28:14.460
Taliesin: That does critical for me.

02:28:14.460 --> 02:28:16.653
I've never criticaled with this either.

02:28:16.653 --> 02:28:17.862
What does that mean?

02:28:17.862 --> 02:28:20.142
Matt: That means the damage dice you double.

02:28:20.142 --> 02:28:21.062
Taliesin: Oh, perfect.

02:28:21.062 --> 02:28:22.402
Matt: So, roll for damage, double that,

02:28:22.402 --> 02:28:24.199
and add your modifier after that.

02:28:24.199 --> 02:28:25.562
Marisha: Come on, come on, come on!

02:28:25.562 --> 02:28:26.795
Big money, no whammies.

02:28:26.795 --> 02:28:29.242
Yeah! Hell yeah!

02:28:29.242 --> 02:28:30.593
Taliesin: 22, 23, 24, 25, 26.

02:28:30.593 --> 02:28:32.402
27 points of damage.

02:28:32.402 --> 02:28:33.821
Travis: Get after it, big man!

02:28:33.821 --> 02:28:35.052
Marisha: Is that doubled?

02:28:35.052 --> 02:28:36.329
Taliesin: That's doubled.

02:28:36.329 --> 02:28:37.082
Matt: All right, so.

02:28:37.082 --> 02:28:39.302
You guys hear this cacophonous (explosion),

02:28:39.302 --> 02:28:41.790
this large blasting sound, a flash of blue energy and sparks

02:28:41.790 --> 02:28:43.562
shoot out the back of the weapon.

02:28:43.562 --> 02:28:45.922
It actually lifts Percy off the ground for a second

02:28:45.922 --> 02:28:48.062
and he shifts himself from the sheer blast.

02:28:48.062 --> 02:28:48.949
Laura: Woah!

02:28:48.949 --> 02:28:51.102
Taliesin: I built a sniper rifle.

02:28:51.102 --> 02:28:53.497
Matt: This streaking, heated bullet, almost reddish, white hot,

02:28:53.497 --> 02:28:55.122
goes cascading through the air,

02:28:55.122 --> 02:28:56.378
plunges into the side of the ogre's shoulder

02:28:56.378 --> 02:28:59.410
with a smattering of blood splattering against the cave behind it.

02:28:59.410 --> 02:29:02.102
It's actually moved back a step and has to catch itself.

02:29:02.102 --> 02:29:07.212
Slams its club into the ground.

02:29:07.212 --> 02:29:08.523
That ends your turn?

02:29:08.523 --> 02:29:10.102
Taliesin: I can't do anything after that.

02:29:10.102 --> 02:29:11.802
That's just reload.

02:29:11.802 --> 02:29:13.173
Matt: All right, Tiberius you're up.

02:29:13.173 --> 02:29:15.862
Orion: I move within 60 feet of those big fellows.

02:29:15.862 --> 02:29:17.696
Taliesin: Bad News travels far and fast.

02:29:17.696 --> 02:29:20.039
Marisha: Nothing travels faster.

02:29:20.039 --> 02:29:21.317
Matt: This is the entanglement by the way.

02:29:21.317 --> 02:29:22.834
Laura: Oh, okay.

02:29:22.834 --> 02:29:25.282
Orion: Right before there.

02:29:25.282 --> 02:29:26.396
Matt: Everything there is kinda fighting from the entanglement.

02:29:26.396 --> 02:29:27.029
Orion: Great.

02:29:27.029 --> 02:29:28.822
Matt: Most of these goblins are currently inside of it.

02:29:28.822 --> 02:29:31.602
Orion: I'm gonna shoot a Scorching Ray at the big guy.

02:29:31.602 --> 02:29:33.562
Matt: Both of them?

02:29:33.562 --> 02:29:35.365
Sam: He said he moved - he moved within 60 feet of them.

02:29:35.365 --> 02:29:37.619
Matt: So, you moved up to here? All righty.

02:29:37.619 --> 02:29:39.602
Marisha: And they're all entangled, yeah?

02:29:39.602 --> 02:29:41.442
Orion: That's good right there.

02:29:41.442 --> 02:29:42.912
Marisha: Still have Entagle up.

02:29:42.912 --> 02:29:43.642
Matt: These guys here are entangled.

02:29:43.642 --> 02:29:45.415
These front goblins are not.

02:29:45.415 --> 02:29:47.271
Scorching ray you said at which ones?

02:29:47.271 --> 02:29:48.905
Orion: Actually, oh there's a bunch of those dudes, aren't there?

02:29:48.905 --> 02:29:52.402
I'm gonna do a fireball instead.

02:29:52.402 --> 02:29:55.102
Right in the center of the juiciness where

02:29:55.102 --> 02:29:57.297
I can get a couple little guys and both the big guys.

02:29:57.297 --> 02:30:00.922
Matt: All right, so I'd probably about there would be where you'd want it.

02:30:00.922 --> 02:30:02.482
Orion: I'm gonna do that, and I'm gonna spend

02:30:02.482 --> 02:30:04.719
two sorcerer points immediately to do quickening spell

02:30:04.719 --> 02:30:06.847
and do another spell right after that.

02:30:06.847 --> 02:30:09.797
Matt: Okay. So as you rush up, you pull back your hand

02:30:09.797 --> 02:30:11.682
and you see the arcane red energy begin to flow in your palm.

02:30:11.682 --> 02:30:14.882
You then throw the beam out, and it arcs, slams into the center,

02:30:14.882 --> 02:30:17.142
and explodes hitting each of these five goblins

02:30:17.142 --> 02:30:19.022
and the two ogres.

02:30:19.022 --> 02:30:21.382
What's your DC on your spell?

02:30:21.382 --> 02:30:23.862
Orion: My DC on my spell is...

02:30:23.862 --> 02:30:25.962
Matt: Top of your spell page. On the right.

02:30:25.962 --> 02:30:28.102
Orion: Oh! Wait. Oh! Seventeen, sorry.

02:30:28.102 --> 02:30:31.946
Matt: Seventeen, okay. Wow! The two ogres actually make their saving throws.

02:30:31.946 --> 02:30:32.562
Laura: Ugh!

02:30:32.562 --> 02:30:33.922
Marisha: Boo!

02:30:33.922 --> 02:30:35.139
Matt: They got eighteen and a nineteen.

02:30:35.139 --> 02:30:36.896
Travis: Roll crappier, ogres!

02:30:36.896 --> 02:30:40.050
Matt: The goblins, however, all disintegrate.

02:30:40.050 --> 02:30:40.902
Laura: All of them?

02:30:40.902 --> 02:30:43.118
Matt: There's no way they're gonna survive the damage you -

02:30:43.118 --> 02:30:44.922
they just (poof noise).

02:30:44.922 --> 02:30:48.362
You see this hint of a red ash mist just go, "Eee!"

02:30:48.362 --> 02:30:51.982
where they once were, and they are all turned to black nothingness.

02:30:51.982 --> 02:30:54.086
However, roll damage for the ogres.

02:30:54.086 --> 02:30:55.771
They get half damage 'cause they made their reflex save.

02:30:55.771 --> 02:30:56.442
Orion: Yeah.

02:30:56.442 --> 02:30:57.862
Matt: So 8d6 damage.

02:30:57.862 --> 02:31:01.422
Sam: 8d6.

02:31:02.785 --> 02:31:05.254
Sam: Seven. Eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,

02:31:05.254 --> 02:31:07.003
fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen,

02:31:07.003 --> 02:31:08.288
nineteen, twenty one, twenty two, twenty three,

02:31:08.288 --> 02:31:10.131
twenty four, twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven!

02:31:10.131 --> 02:31:11.402
Travis: What?

02:31:11.402 --> 02:31:12.305
Matt: Twenty seven, so half that.

02:31:12.305 --> 02:31:17.877
Matt: Okay, so as the blast of fire dissipates,

02:31:17.877 --> 02:31:21.063
you can see one of the ogres is now burnt on half of its chest.

02:31:21.063 --> 02:31:22.080
Laura: Yeah, he is.

02:31:22.080 --> 02:31:23.362
Matt: Looking a little rough.

02:31:23.362 --> 02:31:24.942
There's blood streaking down from the side of his face

02:31:24.942 --> 02:31:26.402
where the shrapnel got thrown at him.

02:31:26.402 --> 02:31:27.861
And the other ogre’s looking okay.

02:31:27.861 --> 02:31:28.992
Tiberius: He's a large creature isn't he?

02:31:28.992 --> 02:31:29.922
Matt: Yes.

02:31:29.922 --> 02:31:31.062
Orion: I'm gonna use my second spell and do Telekinesis

02:31:31.062 --> 02:31:34.422
and pick one up and try to hurl him into the other one.

02:31:34.422 --> 02:31:35.542
Matt: Okay.

02:31:35.542 --> 02:31:37.564
Which one? The one left here?

02:31:37.564 --> 02:31:38.784
Orion: The one that's beaten up already.

02:31:38.784 --> 02:31:40.001
Sam: I'm hard right now!

02:31:40.001 --> 02:31:41.953
(all laugh)

02:31:41.953 --> 02:31:43.142
Matt: He does fail his saving throw.

02:31:43.142 --> 02:31:45.822
Laura: That's just your flute.

02:31:45.822 --> 02:31:46.969
Sam: Yes.

02:31:46.969 --> 02:31:50.168
Matt: So you lift him up in the air and throw him into that.

02:31:50.168 --> 02:31:52.122
Travis: Strangely aroused by your flute.

02:31:52.122 --> 02:31:54.202
Matt: That ogre is knocked prone by the impact.

02:31:54.202 --> 02:31:55.682
All: Yeah!

02:31:55.682 --> 02:31:57.846
Matt: The other one is also knocked prone.

02:31:57.846 --> 02:31:59.255
(all cheer)

02:31:59.255 --> 02:32:00.606
Matt: Before just (splat noise) into the wall,

02:32:00.606 --> 02:32:02.782
both of them slam to the ground.

02:32:02.782 --> 02:32:04.716
Marisha: With my vines, I make sure my vines really grapple him.

02:32:04.716 --> 02:32:05.762
Orion: I turn to Grog:

02:32:05.762 --> 02:32:07.682
Tiberius: They're all yours buddy!

02:32:07.682 --> 02:32:10.202
Matt: Go ahead and roll 2d6 impact damage for the force of the throw.

02:32:10.202 --> 02:32:11.542
Tiberius: Sweet! Impact damage?

02:32:11.542 --> 02:32:12.922
Orion: Ten.

02:32:12.922 --> 02:32:14.450
Matt: Ten damage to each of them?

02:32:14.450 --> 02:32:16.102
Orion: Yeah.

02:32:16.102 --> 02:32:17.385
Matt: All right. Both of the ogres are now on the ground - (grunts) -

02:32:17.385 --> 02:32:19.216
reeling from the impact.

02:32:19.216 --> 02:32:22.542
That brings us to Grog and Vex going simultaneously.

02:32:22.542 --> 02:32:24.658
Grog: Ladies first.

02:32:24.658 --> 02:32:25.589
Laura: Oh! Well, all right.

02:32:25.589 --> 02:32:28.922
I'm gonna cast Hunter's Mark on the most damaged one.

02:32:28.922 --> 02:32:30.495
Matt: Okay, that'd be this one here.

02:32:30.495 --> 02:32:37.522
Laura: All right. And then I'm going to shoot lightning arrow.

02:32:37.522 --> 02:32:38.665
Matt: All right. Do you want to move a little closer?

02:32:38.665 --> 02:32:40.496
Laura: Yes, I do.

02:32:40.496 --> 02:32:41.582
Matt: All right.

02:32:41.582 --> 02:32:44.362
Matt: So, that would put you right there.

02:32:44.362 --> 02:32:45.468
Laura: All right, cool.

02:32:45.468 --> 02:32:47.842
I'm gonna shoot lightning arrow at them.

02:32:47.842 --> 02:32:50.362
Matt: Okay. So, you pull out your arrow and as you pull it back,

02:32:50.362 --> 02:32:52.262
a little bit of energy courses through your fingers,

02:32:52.262 --> 02:32:54.516
strikes through your arrow.

02:32:54.516 --> 02:32:55.724
You can now see this crackling energy as

02:32:55.724 --> 02:32:57.382
you're pulling it taut in your bow.

02:32:57.382 --> 02:32:59.902
You let it loose. Go ahead and roll for attack.

02:32:59.902 --> 02:33:04.609
Laura: Okay! Twenty one!

02:33:04.609 --> 02:33:06.513
Matt: Twenty one hits.

02:33:06.513 --> 02:33:09.142
Laura: All right. And then I do... something else.

02:33:09.142 --> 02:33:10.820
1d8. Right?

02:33:10.820 --> 02:33:12.122
Matt: Yep. You do the damage of the arrow

02:33:12.122 --> 02:33:13.660
plus the damage of the spell.

02:33:13.660 --> 02:33:17.661
Laura: Holey-moley! So that's this.

02:33:19.719 --> 02:33:26.082
Thirteen for the arrow and then 4d8 for the spell.

02:33:26.082 --> 02:33:33.542
Laura: Eight. Four- twelve. Plus three, fifteen. Seventeen!

02:33:33.542 --> 02:33:37.566
Matt: Seventeen. Okay. The ogre that's been beaten,

02:33:37.566 --> 02:33:40.302
blasted by the fireball, it's getting up - (grunt).

02:33:40.302 --> 02:33:41.979
It grabs its club, and it begins to get up on one leg

02:33:41.979 --> 02:33:43.798
as the lightning arrow slams into its chest.

02:33:43.798 --> 02:33:45.274
You can see it hits.

02:33:45.274 --> 02:33:46.928
Looks down for a second,

02:33:46.928 --> 02:33:48.562
and then the charge pulses through its entire torso.

02:33:48.562 --> 02:33:51.434
As it does, it screams out, "Argh!" into the cavern,

02:33:51.434 --> 02:33:54.310
its whole muscle system locks tight

02:33:54.310 --> 02:33:58.166
and it falls forward again, onto its chest,

02:33:58.166 --> 02:34:00.676
smoke rising off of its whole upper area,

02:34:00.676 --> 02:34:02.142
unmoving, on the ground.

02:34:02.142 --> 02:34:03.382
He is gone.

02:34:03.382 --> 02:34:05.382
Travis: Dang! Come on now!

02:34:05.382 --> 02:34:07.162
Marisha: Fuck him up.

02:34:07.162 --> 02:34:08.862
Laura: Yes! And then the other one takes 2d8

02:34:08.862 --> 02:34:10.163
if he fails his saving throw.

02:34:10.163 --> 02:34:11.707
Matt: Which, with a one, he does.

02:34:11.707 --> 02:34:14.302
Laura: Yes! Oh, he fails it so good.

02:34:14.302 --> 02:34:15.732
(all laugh)

02:34:15.732 --> 02:34:17.762
Matt: So, go ahead a roll damage for other ogre.

02:34:17.762 --> 02:34:19.112
Laura: Two... ten.

02:34:19.112 --> 02:34:22.572
Matt: Ten damage. Nice. So as he falls to the ground, the arc

02:34:22.572 --> 02:34:25.064
arcs over to the other one who drops his club for a second.

02:34:25.064 --> 02:34:28.051
Picks it up angrily.

02:34:28.051 --> 02:34:29.900
Laura: I can reassign my Hunter's Mark to him now?

02:34:29.900 --> 02:34:30.466
Matt: You can.

02:34:30.466 --> 02:34:31.647
Laura: Yes.

02:34:31.647 --> 02:34:33.747
Matt: Yes, all right That brings us to...

02:34:33.747 --> 02:34:35.222
Laura: Oh, my Hunter's Mark!

02:34:35.222 --> 02:34:37.903
I didn't do my Hunter's Mark damage.

02:34:37.903 --> 02:34:38.862
But it doesn't matter. He's dead.

02:34:38.862 --> 02:34:40.082
Matt: It doesn't matter. You killed him.

02:34:40.082 --> 02:34:40.802
Laura: All right, cool.

02:34:40.802 --> 02:34:42.456
(all laugh)

02:34:42.456 --> 02:34:44.519
Matt: So you just ultra killed him!

02:34:44.519 --> 02:34:46.122
(valley girl voice) He is so dead. Oh my god.

02:34:46.122 --> 02:34:47.882
This ogre is done.

02:34:47.882 --> 02:34:49.902
(normal voice) All right. So the other ogre's angry.

02:34:49.902 --> 02:34:51.333
It's now the goblins' turn.

02:34:51.333 --> 02:34:56.438
These goblins rush up. They are just dashing forward.

02:34:56.438 --> 02:34:57.762
Marisha: (valley girl voice) Oh my god, Becky, they are so dead.

02:34:57.762 --> 02:35:01.918
Taliesin: (valley girl voice) They’re just like, dead.

02:35:01.918 --> 02:35:03.744
Matt: This one moves around, and this one runs around to there.

02:35:03.744 --> 02:35:06.251
No attacks.

02:35:06.251 --> 02:35:08.483
Everyone make an insight check.

02:35:08.483 --> 02:35:10.333
Sam: Insight check? Oh shit.

02:35:10.333 --> 02:35:13.129
Marisha: What happened? Why are we doing this?

02:35:13.129 --> 02:35:15.062
Taliesin: I literally get a 1.

02:35:15.062 --> 02:35:18.273
Travis: (sings) Natural 20!

02:35:18.273 --> 02:35:19.802
On an insight check.

02:35:19.802 --> 02:35:21.221
Marisha: 20 total. 20.

02:35:21.221 --> 02:35:22.282
Laura: 22.

02:35:22.282 --> 02:35:23.545
Sam: 4.

02:35:23.545 --> 02:35:24.522
Matt: All right.

02:35:24.522 --> 02:35:25.602
Taliesin: Natural 1.

02:35:25.602 --> 02:35:27.072
I'm really not paying attention.

02:35:27.072 --> 02:35:28.022
Matt: You're dealing with the fact that

02:35:28.022 --> 02:35:29.606
you just fired your gun for the first time

02:35:29.606 --> 02:35:31.222
and it kinda burned your hands a little.

02:35:31.222 --> 02:35:32.222
You're like "Ugh!"

02:35:32.222 --> 02:35:32.902
Sam: Grog.

02:35:32.902 --> 02:35:33.842
Matt: Grog -

02:35:33.842 --> 02:35:35.525
Travis: Recites poetry.

02:35:35.525 --> 02:35:36.192
(all laugh)

02:35:36.192 --> 02:35:37.782
Matt: Grog is familiar with one thing:

02:35:37.782 --> 02:35:39.782
fear in the eyes of his enemies.

02:35:39.782 --> 02:35:42.720
Looking at these goblins, they're not charging to attack.

02:35:42.720 --> 02:35:44.962
The attacks seem to be instinctual.

02:35:44.962 --> 02:35:46.542
They are -

02:35:46.542 --> 02:35:47.237
Marisha: They're running.

02:35:47.237 --> 02:35:47.766
Matt: Running.

02:35:47.766 --> 02:35:49.148
Marisha: Oh no!

02:35:49.148 --> 02:35:50.362
Matt: They are scared.

02:35:50.362 --> 02:35:51.722
Laura: Yes!

02:35:51.722 --> 02:35:52.876
Matt: They are fleeing from something.

02:35:52.876 --> 02:35:54.180
Sam: From the ogres?

02:35:54.180 --> 02:35:56.198
Travis: Something behind the ogres.

02:35:56.198 --> 02:35:58.513
Laura: Oh no.

02:35:58.513 --> 02:36:01.562
Scanlan: May I make a request that you kill them anyway?

02:36:01.562 --> 02:36:05.082
Grog: It's like playing croquet at this point, so yes.

02:36:05.082 --> 02:36:06.782
(all laugh)

02:36:06.782 --> 02:36:07.742
Matt: Grog, it's your turn.

02:36:07.742 --> 02:36:09.222
Grog: I would like to RAGE!

02:36:09.222 --> 02:36:11.395
And I would like to move to the right

02:36:11.395 --> 02:36:13.822
of all those stinking goblins!

02:36:13.822 --> 02:36:14.322
Matt: Right over here?

02:36:14.322 --> 02:36:15.758
Travis: Yeah, a little more to the right,

02:36:15.758 --> 02:36:17.020
yeah a little more,

02:36:17.020 --> 02:36:17.737
yeah keep going,

02:36:17.737 --> 02:36:18.916
all the way flanking it there -

02:36:18.916 --> 02:36:20.811
yeah, yeah.

02:36:20.811 --> 02:36:22.082
Matt: All righty.

02:36:22.082 --> 02:36:23.622
Grog: Yeah, and then I would like to give them

02:36:23.622 --> 02:36:25.750
the cleanest shave possible with my greataxe.

02:36:25.750 --> 02:36:27.682
(all laugh)

02:36:27.682 --> 02:36:29.642
Matt: All right. Go ahead and roll for attack on the first one.

02:36:29.642 --> 02:36:31.609
Laura: Oh yeah, that's a good one!

02:36:31.609 --> 02:36:34.042
Travis: Eighteen plus 8… that's 26?

02:36:34.042 --> 02:36:35.660
Matt: That definitively hits.

02:36:35.660 --> 02:36:36.593
Travis: Word.

02:36:36.593 --> 02:36:37.602
Matt: Go ahead and roll damage.

02:36:37.602 --> 02:36:39.020
Travis: Oh, damage, crap.

02:36:39.020 --> 02:36:40.122
Liam: (sings) Decapitation!

02:36:40.122 --> 02:36:43.307
Travis: 2 plus the 4...

02:36:43.307 --> 02:36:45.742
13!

02:36:45.742 --> 02:36:50.284
Matt: 13? Okay. So, as you rush up, you bring your axe

02:36:50.284 --> 02:36:53.381
into the first goblin to your right - (whoosh) - clean.

02:36:53.381 --> 02:36:53.870
You don't even feel resistance.

02:36:53.870 --> 02:36:55.362
Travis: Hey!

02:36:55.362 --> 02:36:58.021
Matt: You hear this little (wheeze) sound as this being is bisected.

02:36:58.021 --> 02:36:59.422
Grog: Oh, that was cute.

02:36:59.422 --> 02:37:00.987
Matt: Its head and upper torso just rolling off

02:37:00.987 --> 02:37:02.462
to the side before rolling to a stop.

02:37:02.462 --> 02:37:03.770
However, the inertia of your axe still keeps through

02:37:03.770 --> 02:37:05.562
to the one on the other side of you.

02:37:05.562 --> 02:37:06.862
Go ahead and roll for your second attack on that.

02:37:06.862 --> 02:37:09.824
Travis: 21!

02:37:09.824 --> 02:37:12.632
Matt: Also hits, go ahead and roll damage.

02:37:12.632 --> 02:37:17.689
Travis: Oh, that's… was 8 plus 7 is... 15!

02:37:17.689 --> 02:37:20.869
Matt: As you cleave through the first goblin, you swing around,

02:37:20.869 --> 02:37:22.868
another goblin looks up at you, scared,

02:37:22.868 --> 02:37:25.282
and pulls a dagger out with its gnarled tongue, (hisses),

02:37:25.282 --> 02:37:27.142
at which point the ax embeds itself

02:37:27.142 --> 02:37:28.824
straight into its face.

02:37:28.824 --> 02:37:30.842
Its angry face goes, "G-agh!" and

02:37:30.842 --> 02:37:32.562
just falls slack against your blade.

02:37:32.562 --> 02:37:33.415
You lift backward,

02:37:33.415 --> 02:37:34.822
and it's stuck to the edge of your axe.

02:37:34.822 --> 02:37:35.482
(all laugh)

02:37:35.482 --> 02:37:37.082
Matt: Just limply dangling against-

02:37:37.082 --> 02:37:38.682
you shake it off a little bit.

02:37:38.682 --> 02:37:42.202
Grog: Double prizes! Yeah!

02:37:42.202 --> 02:37:44.944
Matt: Great. That ends your turn.

02:37:44.944 --> 02:37:45.722
The thing about Rage is that you can use your bonus action

02:37:45.722 --> 02:37:47.122
for a third attack.

02:37:47.122 --> 02:37:48.483
Travis: No.

02:37:48.483 --> 02:37:48.802
Matt: If you wanted to do a frenzy action,

02:37:48.802 --> 02:37:50.222
but you don't need to.

02:37:50.222 --> 02:37:52.442
That brings us to the ogre's turn.

02:37:52.442 --> 02:37:54.562
The ogre gets up, let's see if it makes

02:37:54.562 --> 02:37:59.116
its saving throw for an attempt to get out.

02:37:59.116 --> 02:38:00.362
It does with an 18.

02:38:00.362 --> 02:38:04.182
However, the ogre - it gets about that far,

02:38:04.182 --> 02:38:09.027
it’s going to make a double move.

02:38:09.027 --> 02:38:10.722
Laura: Double move?!

02:38:10.722 --> 02:38:11.469
Taliesin: He's running.

02:38:11.469 --> 02:38:13.452
Marisha: I still have entangle up.

02:38:13.452 --> 02:38:15.002
Matt: I know. He managed to resist it.

02:38:15.002 --> 02:38:16.282
Laura: He saved against it.

02:38:16.282 --> 02:38:18.315
Travis: He was on the ogre track team in college.

02:38:18.315 --> 02:38:18.662
Matt: It's a big ogre.

02:38:18.662 --> 02:38:20.081
Marisha: Poop.

02:38:20.081 --> 02:38:21.722
Matt: All right, the ogre takes his full turn

02:38:21.722 --> 02:38:23.595
to get up in melee with you guys.

02:38:23.595 --> 02:38:24.842
It does not have its attack since

02:38:24.842 --> 02:38:25.839
it used its full movement there.

02:38:25.839 --> 02:38:27.662
And once again you see as it's lumbering forward,

02:38:27.662 --> 02:38:29.722
it also has this look in its eye of desperation.

02:38:29.722 --> 02:38:31.102
Sam: Oh crap.

02:38:31.102 --> 02:38:33.428
Matt: Now it is Vax's go.

02:38:33.428 --> 02:38:35.842
Liam: My sister's right in the face of the ogre, correct?

02:38:35.842 --> 02:38:36.855
Matt: Correct.

02:38:36.855 --> 02:38:40.039
Liam: Excellent. So, I'm going to take a run towards my sister,

02:38:40.039 --> 02:38:44.057
since she's right close to him, he's distracted,

02:38:44.057 --> 02:38:46.142
so I'm going to turn just as I get to her,

02:38:46.142 --> 02:38:47.862
so my back presses against hers and swing around

02:38:47.862 --> 02:38:50.422
and sneak attack two daggers up in his belly.

02:38:50.422 --> 02:38:52.085
Vex: We've practiced this, I turn.

02:38:52.085 --> 02:38:53.622
(all laugh)

02:38:53.622 --> 02:38:55.135
Matt: All right. So as you dodge to the side

02:38:55.135 --> 02:38:56.242
just this blur of shadow and speed,

02:38:56.242 --> 02:38:57.885
you just coast up to the side of your sister,

02:38:57.885 --> 02:38:59.747
dagger both plunge towards the side

02:38:59.747 --> 02:39:00.945
of the ogre, go ahead roll for an attack.

02:39:00.945 --> 02:39:04.988
Liam: All right. One.

02:39:04.988 --> 02:39:06.962
And then the other one I do a poison dagger,

02:39:06.962 --> 02:39:08.863
gets a (singing) 20!

02:39:08.863 --> 02:39:10.302
Travis: Oh, put it on him brother!

02:39:10.302 --> 02:39:12.182
Matt: All right.

02:39:12.182 --> 02:39:20.102
Liam: That is dagger of venom, 1d4 - 3, plus 2 is 5,

02:39:20.102 --> 02:39:21.862
and then is the sneak attack damage go with - ?

02:39:21.862 --> 02:39:23.412
Matt: Yeah it does because you have another ally adjacent to it.

02:39:23.412 --> 02:39:24.057
Liam: Right, fine.

02:39:24.057 --> 02:39:25.842
Matt: You don't get advantage on the attack roll

02:39:25.842 --> 02:39:27.062
but you can still do the sneak attack.

02:39:27.062 --> 02:39:28.622
Liam: Critical hit, too, as well, wouldn't it?

02:39:28.622 --> 02:39:29.942
Matt: Yeah! You can multiply the sneak attack damage.

02:39:29.942 --> 02:39:32.998
Liam: So 5, plus- and the double goes to the sneak attack damage?

02:39:32.998 --> 02:39:35.934
Matt: It does. Modifiers don't double,

02:39:35.934 --> 02:39:38.162
but any dice you roll double.

02:39:38.162 --> 02:39:40.182
Liam: 9, 15...

02:39:41.242 --> 02:39:42.542
Matt: In my game.

02:39:42.542 --> 02:39:43.682
(clicks tongue)

02:39:43.682 --> 02:39:45.162
Liam: So 30 plus, uh, 5, 35.

02:39:45.162 --> 02:39:46.462
Travis: Damn!

02:39:46.462 --> 02:39:47.362
Matt: 35 damage.

02:39:47.362 --> 02:39:48.403
Orion: Yeah!

02:39:48.403 --> 02:39:49.571
Liam: Plus poison.

02:39:49.571 --> 02:39:50.886
Matt: The poison's not going to factor in.

02:39:50.886 --> 02:39:51.665
Liam: Okay.

02:39:51.665 --> 02:39:53.202
Matt: You swing past her, both blades

02:39:53.202 --> 02:39:54.337
jam right into the side of its rib cage.

02:39:54.337 --> 02:39:56.218
You hear it howl out in pain.

02:39:56.218 --> 02:39:59.022
As it does, you twist the daggers

02:39:59.022 --> 02:40:01.077
in a way where both blades are now

02:40:01.077 --> 02:40:02.254
going in two different directions,

02:40:02.254 --> 02:40:04.950
and you carve out a section of its entire abdomen.

02:40:04.950 --> 02:40:06.342
All: Ugh!

02:40:06.342 --> 02:40:08.009
Matt : As you do, the flesh, almost like whale blubber,

02:40:08.009 --> 02:40:09.936
just - (splat) - sloughs off the sides of it.

02:40:09.936 --> 02:40:11.882
Organs spill out, intestines, and it kinda looks down

02:40:11.882 --> 02:40:13.662
and tries to pull them back in.

02:40:13.662 --> 02:40:15.727
(panicked groaning)

02:40:15.727 --> 02:40:18.227
At which point you see the color draining from its face,

02:40:18.227 --> 02:40:20.362
and you just kinda lean up and kick it down.

02:40:20.362 --> 02:40:23.957
The ogre - (groans) - and falls to the ground lifeless...

02:40:23.957 --> 02:40:24.882
destroyed.

02:40:24.882 --> 02:40:28.222
(all laugh and cheer)

02:40:28.222 --> 02:40:29.174
Taliesin: You gave him just enough time to regret

02:40:29.174 --> 02:40:30.302
everything that had ever happened.

02:40:30.302 --> 02:40:31.002
Matt: Yes.

02:40:31.002 --> 02:40:32.422
Taliesin: Well done... bad life choices.

02:40:32.422 --> 02:40:33.861
Matt: That brings us to Keyleth.

02:40:33.861 --> 02:40:35.742
Marisha: (as the ogre) I didn’t call mom enough.

02:40:35.742 --> 02:40:37.290
I should’ve called mom.

02:40:37.290 --> 02:40:38.951
Matt: There are two goblins left.

02:40:38.951 --> 02:40:45.142
Marisha: Okay. I do a quick sprint jog up kinda up towards Grog

02:40:45.142 --> 02:40:49.585
and go (boof) and bring up a big stone wall.

02:40:49.585 --> 02:40:51.734
Right where that entrance is.

02:40:51.734 --> 02:40:53.202
Matt: Right here?

02:40:53.202 --> 02:40:55.302
Marisha: No. Like, right where things are pouring out.

02:40:55.302 --> 02:40:55.802
Matt: Right, here?

02:40:55.802 --> 02:40:56.899
Marisha: Yeah.

02:40:56.899 --> 02:40:57.862
Matt: All right, Wall of Stone.

02:40:57.862 --> 02:40:59.442
Marisha: Wall of Stone... boom.

02:40:59.442 --> 02:41:01.422
Matt: All right.

02:41:01.422 --> 02:41:04.062
A giant wall of stone now completely seals off

02:41:04.062 --> 02:41:05.242
that part of the mine.

02:41:05.242 --> 02:41:05.983
Tiberius: You closed it off?

02:41:05.983 --> 02:41:07.122
Keyleth: I closed it off.

02:41:07.122 --> 02:41:08.382
We don't know what’s in there,

02:41:08.382 --> 02:41:09.922
we should talk about this for a second,

02:41:09.922 --> 02:41:11.238
and I bought us some time.

02:41:11.238 --> 02:41:12.179
I'm sure it’s going to try to beat

02:41:12.179 --> 02:41:13.562
through that door in a  second.

02:41:13.562 --> 02:41:15.082
Matt: I'm going to say that you moved

02:41:15.082 --> 02:41:16.560
up to there with your movement.

02:41:16.560 --> 02:41:19.082
All right, I’d say probably over here,

02:41:19.082 --> 02:41:20.842
not right next to the goblins and

02:41:20.842 --> 02:41:21.946
that will give you enough range.

02:41:21.946 --> 02:41:23.498
Okay, so the all of stone - (boom)

02:41:23.498 --> 02:41:24.782
Marisha: Are there any guards around still?

02:41:24.782 --> 02:41:26.590
Any dwarven guards.

02:41:26.590 --> 02:41:28.403
Matt: They are all just watching you do this now.

02:41:28.403 --> 02:41:30.940
They don't want to put their lives at risk,

02:41:30.940 --> 02:41:33.142
and you guys seem intent on getting into the middle of this battle,

02:41:33.142 --> 02:41:34.422
so they are just going to sit back and let you do it.

02:41:34.422 --> 02:41:36.122
Marisha: I throw up my wall and turn around and I say:

02:41:36.122 --> 02:41:38.442
Keyleth: What’s coming?!

02:41:38.442 --> 02:41:40.113
Tell us! You know what’s coming!

02:41:40.113 --> 02:41:41.905
What’s coming!?

02:41:41.905 --> 02:41:43.382
Matt: Make an intimidation check.

02:41:43.382 --> 02:41:46.382
Laura: Keyleth, you are so hard core.

02:41:46.382 --> 02:41:47.601
Marisha: I'm not good at this.

02:41:47.601 --> 02:41:48.828
Sam: You speak goblin?

02:41:48.828 --> 02:41:50.674
Marisha: [sadly] Oh, four.

02:41:50.674 --> 02:41:52.510
(all laugh and groan)

02:41:52.510 --> 02:41:57.442
Taliesin: Make a pity roll.

02:41:57.442 --> 02:41:59.782
Matt: A very gentle attempt at intimidation,

02:41:59.782 --> 02:42:01.122
however, the message gets across.

02:42:01.122 --> 02:42:04.336
The guards look at you, taken off guard.

02:42:04.336 --> 02:42:06.273
Keyleth: We are about to die.

02:42:06.273 --> 02:42:08.438
It is in your best interest to tell us.

02:42:08.438 --> 02:42:11.793
Guards: We don't know! It’s been different things.

02:42:11.793 --> 02:42:12.824
Strange abominations.

02:42:12.824 --> 02:42:14.267
It’s hard to describe. They’re -

02:42:14.267 --> 02:42:15.382
- put together.

02:42:15.382 --> 02:42:18.076
Something’s making things down there.

02:42:18.076 --> 02:42:21.882
Keyleth: What kind of things? From where?

02:42:21.882 --> 02:42:25.582
Matt: As they’re talking you hear a (boom) against the stone.

02:42:25.582 --> 02:42:32.062
Travis: I bring out my blade.

02:42:32.062 --> 02:42:34.195
Matt: So, the stone cracks, and you can see a noticeable crack

02:42:34.195 --> 02:42:36.048
and an audible - (cracking noise).

02:42:36.048 --> 02:42:39.642
Liam: I'm running right now diagonally towards the wall

02:42:39.642 --> 02:42:40.902
and I press against the wall.

02:42:40.902 --> 02:42:42.031
Laura: Oh, good call.

02:42:42.031 --> 02:42:44.042
I do the same thing on the other side.

02:42:44.042 --> 02:42:45.398
Matt: Okay, so you come over here,

02:42:45.398 --> 02:42:46.142
do you want to bring Trinket with you?

02:42:46.142 --> 02:42:47.386
Laura: Yeah!

02:42:47.386 --> 02:42:47.902
Matt: All right.

02:42:47.902 --> 02:42:49.314
Taliesin: You're all so fancy.

02:42:49.314 --> 02:42:50.691
Marisha: I cast Stoneskin on myself.

02:42:50.691 --> 02:42:51.852
Vex: I’m stealthing, I’m stealthing.

02:42:51.852 --> 02:42:53.482
Matt: Roll stealth both of you.

02:42:53.482 --> 02:42:55.342
Orion: How tall are the walls? I mean the ceiling.

02:42:55.342 --> 02:42:56.602
Mat: Oh, the ceiling right now is

02:42:56.602 --> 02:42:59.305
the rest of Kraghammer for the most part.

02:42:59.305 --> 02:43:00.617
Travis: Hundreds, hundreds.

02:43:00.617 --> 02:43:02.942
Matt: Yeah, it is a huge ceiling.

02:43:02.942 --> 02:43:04.808
Orion: I get within casting range.

02:43:04.808 --> 02:43:06.622
Travis: What’s in the middle? Are those fires?

02:43:06.622 --> 02:43:07.974
Matt: These are braziers here.

02:43:07.974 --> 02:43:11.702
By the way, Stoneskin goes, this disappears.

02:43:11.702 --> 02:43:13.298
Travis: The entanglement?

02:43:13.298 --> 02:43:14.995
Matt: Yeah, the entanglement is gone.

02:43:14.995 --> 02:43:15.882
But there are minecarts, some rocks,

02:43:15.882 --> 02:43:17.062
there is a smashed cart over here

02:43:17.062 --> 02:43:18.302
from when the ogre barreled through.

02:43:18.302 --> 02:43:19.362
This is just a piece of stone

02:43:19.362 --> 02:43:21.409
that rises about 15 feet,

02:43:21.409 --> 02:43:22.693
and these are both braziers

02:43:22.693 --> 02:43:23.863
for light in the center of the area.

02:43:23.863 --> 02:43:25.588
So - it’s hundreds and hundreds of feet up.

02:43:25.588 --> 02:43:30.763
You can look up to the very top of Kraghammer from here.

02:43:30.763 --> 02:43:34.602
Orion: Okay, that’s fine.

02:43:34.602 --> 02:43:36.726
Matt; So whatcha got?

02:43:36.726 --> 02:43:38.313
Well, let’s see. So Keyleth.

02:43:38.313 --> 02:43:39.542
That is your turn, Stoneskin and moving up.

02:43:39.542 --> 02:43:40.922
So, anywhere else you want to go?

02:43:40.922 --> 02:43:43.111
I mean, technically, right now we are not in combat.

02:43:43.111 --> 02:43:44.102
Sam: Right. We are out of combat.

02:43:44.102 --> 02:43:45.407
Matt: Briefly.

02:43:45.407 --> 02:43:48.129
Travis: Yeah, we are waiting for the homecoming dance to start.

02:43:48.129 --> 02:43:50.042
Taliesin: I'm breathing, taking aim at the wall,

02:43:50.042 --> 02:43:51.981
just resetting everything.

02:43:51.981 --> 02:43:53.658
Marisha: Can I move up behind that pillar?

02:43:53.658 --> 02:43:55.582
Matt: Okay.

02:43:55.582 --> 02:43:57.722
Taliesin: I'm staying far back at the moment.

02:43:57.722 --> 02:43:59.102
Matt: So, back here.

02:43:59.102 --> 02:44:01.760
Matt: Both of these goblins...

02:44:01.760 --> 02:44:03.034
I'll just say that you guys end up taking them down.

02:44:03.034 --> 02:44:04.491
It’s not even a question.

02:44:04.491 --> 02:44:07.341
You step on them and crush them.

02:44:07.341 --> 02:44:08.755
Travis: Are there any dwarves that we can say,

02:44:08.755 --> 02:44:10.181
“Go get Ballsack and bring him down?”

02:44:10.181 --> 02:44:11.781
(all laugh)

02:44:11.781 --> 02:44:13.062
Matt: You can.

02:44:13.062 --> 02:44:14.248
Laura: Oh yeah, Balgoos! Balgus.

02:44:14.248 --> 02:44:15.545
Matt: Balgus? You just tell them,

02:44:15.545 --> 02:44:17.799
"Get Balgus!" and they are like... "Who?"

02:44:17.799 --> 02:44:19.275
Liam: Grab Ballsack!

02:44:19.275 --> 02:44:20.935
Matt: Some of them have set crossbows up by the way.

02:44:20.935 --> 02:44:22.742
They’re barreling down to get ready to fire

02:44:22.742 --> 02:44:24.062
at whatever comes through.

02:44:24.062 --> 02:44:26.312
BOOF! Another crack in the wall.

02:44:26.312 --> 02:44:27.369
You can see the dust settle as the stone

02:44:27.369 --> 02:44:30.102
cracks again and a large piece at the top tumbles off.

02:44:30.102 --> 02:44:33.162
The stone wall’s probably not going to hold another impact.

02:44:33.162 --> 02:44:34.702
Anybody else want to move anywhere?

02:44:34.702 --> 02:44:36.562
Taliesin: Just taking aim.

02:44:36.562 --> 02:44:39.425
Sam: I'll move up to the right near where Grog is.

02:44:39.425 --> 02:44:43.622
And nobody has taken any damage yet, right?

02:44:43.622 --> 02:44:44.442
All: No.

02:44:44.442 --> 02:44:46.082
Matt: Not currently, no.

02:44:46.082 --> 02:44:46.882
You guys have had a pretty clean sweep

02:44:46.882 --> 02:44:48.786
into this battle, so far.

02:44:48.786 --> 02:44:50.702
Sam: I can't inspire anybody here? Now?

02:44:50.702 --> 02:44:51.785
Matt: You can inspire anybody.

02:44:51.785 --> 02:44:53.322
Just give them a dice.

02:44:53.322 --> 02:44:54.602
Sam: Can I inspire everyone?

02:44:54.602 --> 02:44:55.522
Matt: You can spend all your uses to inspire as many people

02:44:55.522 --> 02:44:57.563
as you have the uses of it.

02:44:57.563 --> 02:45:00.181
Marisha: I still have mine that I haven't used yet.

02:45:00.181 --> 02:45:03.832
Sam: I'll inspire Vex and Vax and Grog.

02:45:03.832 --> 02:45:05.402
Matt: So, mark that you guys all have a d8 to expend on an

02:45:05.402 --> 02:45:06.802
attack roll, or a saving throw.

02:45:06.802 --> 02:45:09.123
Scanlan: (singing) I think you're really handsome and nice!

02:45:09.123 --> 02:45:12.646
You're going to have inspiration dice!

02:45:12.646 --> 02:45:14.922
(all laugh)

02:45:14.922 --> 02:45:16.768
Travis: Thought you were gonna have a little -

02:45:16.768 --> 02:45:18.538
Laura: I know, some beautiful song for us!

02:45:18.538 --> 02:45:20.983
Wait, what for all of us? We all get a d8?

02:45:20.983 --> 02:45:24.337
Matt: Each of you has to have a single d8 dice, inspiration dice.

02:45:24.337 --> 02:45:26.120
The bardic inspiration is flowing through you

02:45:26.120 --> 02:45:29.136
that you can use to add to an attack roll, not damage.

02:45:29.136 --> 02:45:30.302
You can add it to an attack roll, a saving throw -

02:45:30.302 --> 02:45:33.467
Scanlan: (plays tune on electric piano app)

02:45:33.467 --> 02:45:35.339
(all laugh)

02:45:35.339 --> 02:45:38.682
Matt: There you go. That’s what a shawm sounds like, apparently.

02:45:38.682 --> 02:45:39.722
So you can use it on attack throw, a saving throw,

02:45:39.722 --> 02:45:42.662
or an ability check. Any skill.

02:45:42.662 --> 02:45:46.082
Tiberius, are you going to stay where you are,

02:45:46.082 --> 02:45:47.397
are you moving anywhere?

02:45:47.397 --> 02:45:48.647
Last chance.

02:45:48.647 --> 02:45:49.922
Orion: Is that cover right there next to me?

02:45:49.922 --> 02:45:51.150
Matt: Right over here? Yeah.

02:45:51.150 --> 02:45:52.622
Orion: I'll get behind the cover.

02:45:52.622 --> 02:45:53.802
Matt: Okay.

02:45:53.802 --> 02:45:55.189
Orion: And I’m going to peek out and I'm gonna cast Blur.

02:45:55.189 --> 02:45:56.742
Matt: Okay, Stoneskin goes away.

02:45:56.742 --> 02:45:58.382
Orion: I can't do both?

02:45:58.382 --> 02:46:00.542
Matt: Nope. They're both concentration spells.

02:46:00.542 --> 02:46:02.189
Orion: Okay, I leave Stoneskin.

02:46:02.189 --> 02:46:06.040
Matt: Okay, Stoneskin stays on.

02:46:06.040 --> 02:46:08.602
At which point - (boom) - the stone breaks through

02:46:08.602 --> 02:46:10.513
scattering across the ground.

02:46:10.513 --> 02:46:13.102
You see immediately bursting through -

02:46:13.102 --> 02:46:14.753
Travis: What the fuck is that?

02:46:14.753 --> 02:46:16.192
Laura: What is it?

02:46:16.192 --> 02:46:18.290
Matt: A bulbous, oversized, naga-like creature.

02:46:18.290 --> 02:46:21.753
You've encountered a naga before, which is a large serpentine

02:46:21.753 --> 02:46:24.009
creature with a humanoid head.

02:46:24.009 --> 02:46:27.262
However, this one is swollen, it is bulbous.

02:46:27.262 --> 02:46:29.302
The way it moves looks unnatural

02:46:29.302 --> 02:46:32.115
and it has affixed to it not one,

02:46:32.115 --> 02:46:35.282
not three, but five other different colored naga heads

02:46:35.282 --> 02:46:37.662
that look to be stitched to its body.

02:46:37.662 --> 02:46:38.502
Laura: Gross!

02:46:38.502 --> 02:46:40.822
Matt: It is a seriously terrible abomination.

02:46:40.822 --> 02:46:42.142
And as it just breaks through the stone -

02:46:42.142 --> 02:46:44.612
(hisses and growls)

02:46:44.612 --> 02:46:46.122
- all the heads rear back.

02:46:46.122 --> 02:46:47.682
Marisha: Do naga heads do something if you look at them?

02:46:47.682 --> 02:46:49.086
Matt: We're beginning back at the top of the initiative order.

02:46:49.086 --> 02:46:50.302
Travis: Oh shit!

02:46:50.302 --> 02:46:52.783
Laura: Wait wait wait! I got a question!

02:46:52.783 --> 02:46:54.012
My Hunter's Mark, can I transfer it

02:46:54.012 --> 02:46:55.283
to that thing or do I have to -

02:46:55.283 --> 02:46:56.702
Matt: Correct, you can, yes.

02:46:56.702 --> 02:46:57.502
Laura: Yes!

02:46:57.502 --> 02:46:58.862
Matt: Because this still part of the encounter which that.

02:46:58.862 --> 02:47:00.342
Laura: (Sings.) Sweet!

02:47:00.342 --> 02:47:01.490
Matt: So that is now marked with the hunter's mark.

02:47:01.490 --> 02:47:02.982
Percy, you're up first.

02:47:02.982 --> 02:47:03.842
Taliesin: Do I have to take new aim or

02:47:03.842 --> 02:47:05.956
can I have myself already trained on -

02:47:05.956 --> 02:47:06.982
Matt: You've had a moment to train.

02:47:06.982 --> 02:47:08.685
You haven't seen the creature until it just burst out

02:47:08.685 --> 02:47:10.040
so it would take you a round to aim.

02:47:10.040 --> 02:47:11.385
Taliesin: I'm taking my round to aim.

02:47:11.385 --> 02:47:12.642
Matt: Okay, so you're aiming.

02:47:12.642 --> 02:47:16.713
That brings us to Tiberius.

02:47:16.713 --> 02:47:18.582
Orion: What did you just-

02:47:18.582 --> 02:47:20.742
Taliesin: I just took aim. Took aim.

02:47:20.742 --> 02:47:22.903
Just a gun.

02:47:22.903 --> 02:47:27.122
Marisha: "Just" a gun.

02:47:27.122 --> 02:47:28.882
Taliesin: This gun doesn't do anything fancy.

02:47:28.882 --> 02:47:30.790
Just shoots really far, really hard.

02:47:30.790 --> 02:47:35.662
Orion: Okay! I'll do a... Scorching Ray.

02:47:35.662 --> 02:47:37.780
Matt: Scorching Ray, all right.

02:47:37.780 --> 02:47:38.702
It makes a saving throw -

02:47:38.702 --> 02:47:39.842
It does not!

02:47:39.842 --> 02:47:42.798
Rolled a 2, so full damage on it.

02:47:42.798 --> 02:47:46.958
Orion: So two for four... let's shoot two of them right now,

02:47:46.958 --> 02:47:48.770
right, three of them?

02:47:48.770 --> 02:47:49.955
Matt: It's an aimed ray attack?

02:47:49.955 --> 02:47:51.102
Orion: Yeah.

02:47:51.102 --> 02:47:52.182
Matt: Then you have to roll for the attack.

02:47:52.182 --> 02:47:54.902
So, roll a d20 and add your -

02:47:54.902 --> 02:47:56.842
Travis: Roll high, roll high.

02:47:56.842 --> 02:47:59.275
Matt: Top of your spell page.

02:47:59.275 --> 02:48:00.567
Laura: Big roll, big roll, big roll.

02:48:00.567 --> 02:48:02.061
Matt: Top of your spell page.

02:48:02.061 --> 02:48:04.837
Orion: Oh! That's 23.

02:48:04.837 --> 02:48:06.102
Matt: 23? 23 hits.

02:48:06.102 --> 02:48:07.300
Orion: Yes, okay.

02:48:07.300 --> 02:48:08.857
Matt: All right.

02:48:08.857 --> 02:48:10.504
Orion: And then that's two d6… that's 12.

02:48:10.504 --> 02:48:11.773
Matt: Twelve points of damage to the naga.

02:48:11.773 --> 02:48:15.259
All right. That brings us to -

02:48:15.259 --> 02:48:17.351
Orion: Wait. I roll for the second shot, right?

02:48:17.351 --> 02:48:19.122
Matt: Yeah.

02:48:19.122 --> 02:48:20.682
Orion: Okay, and that's a natural 20.

02:48:20.682 --> 02:48:22.085
(all cheer)

02:48:22.085 --> 02:48:24.389
Matt: Okay.

02:48:24.389 --> 02:48:25.516
Okay, so you fire one beam off - (exploding sound) -

02:48:25.516 --> 02:48:26.862
and it slams into the side of one of the naga heads.

02:48:26.862 --> 02:48:28.362
The second you bring back and as you do there's a

02:48:28.362 --> 02:48:30.122
flicker of arcane instability.

02:48:30.122 --> 02:48:32.762
His arm shakes as he releases the surge of scorching

02:48:32.762 --> 02:48:34.994
energy as it blasts into the side of the naga.

02:48:34.994 --> 02:48:37.242
Also does not make a saving throw again!

02:48:37.242 --> 02:48:38.277
Roll full damage.

02:48:38.277 --> 02:48:40.862
Travis: Holy shit, Tiberius.

02:48:40.862 --> 02:48:42.182
Taliesin: Oh my god.

02:48:42.182 --> 02:48:43.031
Orion: Twelve.

02:48:43.031 --> 02:48:43.709
Matt: Twelve?

02:48:43.709 --> 02:48:44.462
Orion: Yeah.

02:48:44.462 --> 02:48:46.298
Matt: Multiplied? Or did you roll a 12?

02:48:46.298 --> 02:48:47.242
Orion: I rolled a 12.

02:48:47.242 --> 02:48:48.362
Matt: Twelve. Times two. 24 points of damage.

02:48:48.362 --> 02:48:51.387
Orion: Oh! I'm terrible at math!

02:48:51.387 --> 02:48:52.622
Stay in school, kids!

02:48:52.622 --> 02:48:54.184
(all laugh)

02:48:54.184 --> 02:48:55.522
Matt: All right, so it just blasts into

02:48:55.522 --> 02:48:56.589
the side of the naga heads.

02:48:56.589 --> 02:48:58.742
Marisha: This is a good time to note our charity, 826 LA.

02:48:58.742 --> 02:48:59.586
Sam: Not yet. Don't donate yet.

02:48:59.586 --> 02:49:01.142
Sam: Donate next week.

02:49:01.142 --> 02:49:05.581
Matt: Next week, there's things that you can donate to then.

02:49:05.581 --> 02:49:07.662
All right, so that brings us to the end of Tiberius' turn.

02:49:07.662 --> 02:49:09.042
You want to move at all, are you staying where you are?

02:49:09.042 --> 02:49:10.237
Tiberius: I’ll stay right here.

02:49:10.237 --> 02:49:11.579
Matt: All right Grog's up next, you're up.

02:49:11.579 --> 02:49:12.602
Travis: Ladies first.

02:49:12.602 --> 02:49:14.382
Laura: Oh! Oh! Me! Okay, I'm gonna shoot -

02:49:14.382 --> 02:49:19.137
oh God, I didn't realise I was going so fast.

02:49:19.137 --> 02:49:20.162
Matt: What did you roll for stealth by the way?

02:49:20.162 --> 02:49:21.342
Laura: What?

02:49:21.342 --> 02:49:23.602
Matt: What did you roll for stealth by the way?

02:49:23.602 --> 02:49:25.280
Laura: I rolled a 20 for stealth!

02:49:25.280 --> 02:49:26.582
Matt: Then yeah, he has no idea you're there.

02:49:26.582 --> 02:49:27.656
Laura: Sweet!

02:49:27.656 --> 02:49:30.142
Matt: He just sees the bear going - (bear growl)

02:49:30.142 --> 02:49:33.219
Laura: Okay. Trinket's gonna hang out because

02:49:33.219 --> 02:49:35.482
I don't want to - you know.

02:49:35.482 --> 02:49:38.222
I'm going to shoot Conjure Barrage -

02:49:38.222 --> 02:49:41.102
No, I'm just going to  shoot him twice.

02:49:41.102 --> 02:49:42.423
Matt: All right, go for it!

02:49:42.423 --> 02:49:43.142
Laura: All right.

02:49:43.142 --> 02:49:44.273
Matt: Arrow once, arrow twice -

02:49:44.273 --> 02:49:45.402
(arrow noises)

02:49:45.402 --> 02:49:46.809
- Legolas style.

02:49:46.809 --> 02:49:50.259
Laura: I am going to do the fire arrow thingy at it.

02:49:50.259 --> 02:49:52.922
Matt: Okay, so using your bowstring.

02:49:52.922 --> 02:49:55.102
Laura: The blazing bowstring, thank you Tiberius!

02:49:55.102 --> 02:49:56.292
Matt: That he created and crafted!

02:49:56.292 --> 02:49:59.032
All right so as you pull the second arrow out you nock it.

02:49:59.032 --> 02:50:00.745
As you let it go it bursts into flames

02:50:00.745 --> 02:50:02.182
arcing halfway through the air.

02:50:02.182 --> 02:50:03.583
Laura: Okay.

02:50:03.583 --> 02:50:04.862
Matt: What was your to hit roll on that?

02:50:04.862 --> 02:50:05.542
Laura: 21?

02:50:05.542 --> 02:50:06.042
Matt: 21 hits!

02:50:06.042 --> 02:50:07.582
Laura: Okay.

02:50:07.582 --> 02:50:09.021
Oh wait, that's a -

02:50:09.021 --> 02:50:12.202
4 plus 7 is 11.

02:50:12.202 --> 02:50:13.838
Sam: Don't forget your inspiration!

02:50:13.838 --> 02:50:14.742
Matt: Well inspiration dice is to hit.

02:50:14.742 --> 02:50:16.242
Sam: Oh, okay.

02:50:16.242 --> 02:50:16.822
Laura: 11.

02:50:16.822 --> 02:50:17.802
Matt: So, 11 points of damage.

02:50:17.802 --> 02:50:19.928
Laura: For the first one, plus for the blazing bowstring

02:50:19.928 --> 02:50:24.662
I can turn any arrow into a flaming arrow,

02:50:24.662 --> 02:50:27.082
doing additional 10 fire damage.

02:50:27.082 --> 02:50:28.525
Matt: Awesome.

02:50:28.525 --> 02:50:29.622
Laura: So I'll roll that right now.

02:50:29.622 --> 02:50:30.522
Matt: There you go.

02:50:30.522 --> 02:50:32.802
Laura: Which is this. Which is a 7!

02:50:32.802 --> 02:50:34.682
Matt: So an additional 7, so 18 total damage and that arrow -

02:50:34.682 --> 02:50:36.159
(impact sound)

02:50:36.159 --> 02:50:38.153
in the side of its body.

02:50:38.153 --> 02:50:40.162
One of the serpent heads reels back from the pain.

02:50:40.162 --> 02:50:41.459
Laura: Yeah! Screw you, Naga!

02:50:41.459 --> 02:50:42.604
Matt: It begins snatching at where the arrow's now protruding from it,

02:50:42.604 --> 02:50:43.695
trying to break it off.

02:50:43.695 --> 02:50:46.542
Laura: And then I'm gonna roll again!

02:50:46.542 --> 02:50:48.362
That's a 24!

02:50:48.362 --> 02:50:49.302
Matt: That hits, go ahead and roll damage.

02:50:49.302 --> 02:50:50.853
Laura: Awesome. That's an 8.

02:50:50.853 --> 02:50:52.372
Matt: Grog, you're on deck.

02:50:52.372 --> 02:50:53.816
Grog: I'm ready!

02:50:53.816 --> 02:50:55.102
Laura: 7 plus 7 is 14!

02:50:55.102 --> 02:50:56.800
Matt: 14 damage, all right. Both arrows -

02:50:56.800 --> 02:50:57.782
(arrow impact sounds)

02:50:57.782 --> 02:51:00.444
- sink into it. Definitely piercing through the scales a little bit,

02:51:00.444 --> 02:51:02.011
but not sticking too deeply into its body;

02:51:02.011 --> 02:51:03.622
it's definitely a hearty creature.

02:51:03.622 --> 02:51:04.482
Grog, you're up!

02:51:04.482 --> 02:51:06.982
Grog: Right, I would like to run around the other side of the rock,

02:51:06.982 --> 02:51:11.382
raging, spit flying out my of my mouth!

02:51:11.382 --> 02:51:12.769
And I would like to use the Chain of Returning,

02:51:12.769 --> 02:51:14.239
also crafted by Tiberius,

02:51:14.239 --> 02:51:15.502
attach it to the end of the great axe,

02:51:15.502 --> 02:51:18.636
and throw it, from where I am, at the snake.

02:51:18.636 --> 02:51:19.764
Matt: Okay.

02:51:19.764 --> 02:51:20.830
Tiberius: Yeah!

02:51:20.830 --> 02:51:22.542
Matt: He comes running around, rears back,

02:51:22.542 --> 02:51:26.082
and takes his double-handed great axe and just lobs it overhand.

02:51:26.082 --> 02:51:27.802
The chain, that's wrapped around your wrist,

02:51:27.802 --> 02:51:30.082
keeping it attached to you, in some degree.

02:51:30.082 --> 02:51:31.894
Go ahead and roll for the attack.

02:51:31.894 --> 02:51:33.211
Travis: 8, 9, uh, 17!

02:51:33.211 --> 02:51:34.828
Matt: 17?

02:51:34.828 --> 02:51:36.441
It just hits!

02:51:36.441 --> 02:51:40.961
Travis: All right, nice. That is... 15.

02:51:40.961 --> 02:51:43.222
Matt: 15 points of damage.

02:51:43.222 --> 02:51:47.382
As the axe embeds itself pretty deeply into the torso.

02:51:47.382 --> 02:51:49.022
Laura: Oh! I didn't do my Hunter's Mark.

02:51:49.022 --> 02:51:50.259
Matt: Roll Hunter's Mark damage right now.

02:51:50.259 --> 02:51:52.038
Laura: Thank you. Thank you, chatroom!

02:51:52.038 --> 02:51:54.102
(all laugh)

02:51:54.102 --> 02:51:55.185
Laura: 6!

02:51:55.185 --> 02:51:56.902
Matt: 6? Awesome. 6 damage. All right.

02:51:56.902 --> 02:51:58.712
Travis: This says, 'An athletics-strength check is required

02:51:58.712 --> 02:52:00.315
to pull the weapon free, the DC12?'

02:52:00.315 --> 02:52:03.452
Matt: So, go ahead and roll an athletics check.

02:52:03.452 --> 02:52:05.482
Travis: 12.

02:52:05.482 --> 02:52:06.682
Matt: Roll a d20.

02:52:06.682 --> 02:52:08.228
Travis: Oh, a d20.

02:52:08.228 --> 02:52:09.502
Matt: It's a DC12.

02:52:09.502 --> 02:52:13.216
Travis: Shit. Balls. Taint. 5.

02:52:13.216 --> 02:52:14.522
Matt: Plus...

02:52:14.522 --> 02:52:15.731
Travis: Plus what? Plus-

02:52:15.731 --> 02:52:17.318
Matt: Plus your athletics!

02:52:17.318 --> 02:52:21.154
Travis: Oh! Oh! That's bound to be good. Uh... 7! It's 12!

02:52:21.154 --> 02:52:22.972
Matt: 12 is the DC! So yeah!

02:52:22.972 --> 02:52:24.402
Travis: (elated laughter)

02:52:24.402 --> 02:52:25.990
Matt: You pull back the chain and as you do,

02:52:25.990 --> 02:52:27.622
the blade is resisting,

02:52:27.622 --> 02:52:31.242
it's stuck in the torso and it actually - (whoosh) - and flies back,

02:52:31.242 --> 02:52:32.582
and you just barely catch it.

02:52:32.582 --> 02:52:33.707
Grog: Oh shit!

02:52:33.707 --> 02:52:35.782
Marisha: I love your joy sounds!

02:52:35.782 --> 02:52:38.242
Grog: Meant to do that!

02:52:38.242 --> 02:52:39.216
Meant to do that of course.

02:52:39.216 --> 02:52:40.862
Matt: Now it's its turn.

02:52:40.862 --> 02:52:41.603
Sam: Oh Jesus.

02:52:41.603 --> 02:52:42.654
Laura: Oh no!

02:52:42.654 --> 02:52:44.405
Matt: (Slithering noises.)

02:52:44.405 --> 02:52:45.412
Laura: (Nervous noises.) Oh no!

02:52:45.412 --> 02:52:46.819
Grog: Yeah, yeah, come on!

02:52:46.819 --> 02:52:48.882
Sam: What? Why me? No, that's not me, that's not me.

02:52:48.882 --> 02:52:50.082
Matt: For its size, when it moves,

02:52:50.082 --> 02:52:51.794
it moves in a burst of lightning energy.

02:52:51.794 --> 02:52:55.342
It's too fast for its corpulent form.

02:52:55.342 --> 02:52:58.042
As it goes behind to Keyleth and Tiberius,

02:52:58.042 --> 02:53:02.478
it makes an attack with each of its five heads.

02:53:02.478 --> 02:53:05.362
Two on Tiberius, three on Keyleth.

02:53:05.362 --> 02:53:06.786
Remember, you guys have Stoneskin, so I believe

02:53:06.786 --> 02:53:07.742
you have resistance against damage, right?

02:53:07.742 --> 02:53:08.522
Orion: Oh, yes, I do.

02:53:08.522 --> 02:53:10.602
Matt: All right. So. Against Keyleth, it's a natural 20.

02:53:10.602 --> 02:53:13.935
Group: Oh no!

02:53:13.935 --> 02:53:17.953
Matt: That's a 12 plus 7, that's gonna be a 19 to hit?

02:53:17.953 --> 02:53:20.482
Marisha: Yeah.

02:53:20.482 --> 02:53:22.038
Matt: And natural 20 again.

02:53:22.038 --> 02:53:24.788
Marisha: What the fuck!

02:53:24.788 --> 02:53:26.077
Matt: So, 2 critical hits, and a hit on you -

02:53:26.077 --> 02:53:27.459
Travis: What is this bullshit?

02:53:27.459 --> 02:53:29.177
Matt: - and on Tiberius, that's a 22 to hit.

02:53:29.177 --> 02:53:32.975
And a 13 to hit.

02:53:32.975 --> 02:53:33.942
Orion: One does, one does not.

02:53:33.942 --> 02:53:35.722
Matt: Okay, cool.

02:53:35.722 --> 02:53:37.934
Matt: So, against Keyleth, you take -

02:53:37.934 --> 02:53:40.131
Marisha: I'm glad I cast Stoneskin.

02:53:40.131 --> 02:53:41.947
Matt: I know. So you take half damage for these. Which is fine.

02:53:41.947 --> 02:53:43.293
Marisha: Yeah.

02:53:43.293 --> 02:53:45.164
Matt: So, you're looking at - that's 2 plus 4, that's 6, damage halved,

02:53:45.164 --> 02:53:46.322
you take 3 damage.

02:53:46.322 --> 02:53:48.882
Oh, sorry. 3 multiplied by 2 because it's a critical.

02:53:48.882 --> 02:53:50.541
So you take 6 damage from the first strike.

02:53:50.541 --> 02:53:52.675
Laura: That's nothing! 6 damage.

02:53:52.675 --> 02:53:54.847
Matt: Not too bad. You take 7 damage from the second strike,

02:53:54.847 --> 02:54:00.963
and another 6 damage from the 3rd strike.

02:54:00.963 --> 02:54:03.422
Actually, it would have been 6, 4 and 6.

02:54:03.422 --> 02:54:05.662
Because you have resistance on the damage 'cause of Stoneskin.

02:54:05.662 --> 02:54:08.102
Marisha: 6, 4 and 6?

02:54:08.102 --> 02:54:10.828
Matt: Yes. However, make a constitution saving throw.

02:54:10.828 --> 02:54:12.847
As venom from the fangs of the Naga begin to

02:54:12.847 --> 02:54:14.868
pulse into your bloodstream.

02:54:14.868 --> 02:54:17.122
Marisha: Ah, I should have taken the poison resistance.

02:54:17.122 --> 02:54:19.006
He talked me out of it.

02:54:19.006 --> 02:54:20.088
Taliesin: Yeah, I talked her out of it.

02:54:20.088 --> 02:54:22.543
Marisha: What am I - constitution.

02:54:22.543 --> 02:54:24.451
Matt: Yeah, constitution saving throw.

02:54:24.451 --> 02:54:28.149
Marisha: Fuck!

02:54:28.149 --> 02:54:29.442
Matt: Natural 1?

02:54:29.442 --> 02:54:32.642
Natural 1 on the constitution saving throw.

02:54:32.642 --> 02:54:33.702
Laura: Oh no!

02:54:33.702 --> 02:54:35.412
Marisha: It's a bad day.

02:54:35.412 --> 02:54:37.622
Matt: You feel this burning pain pulse into your bloodstream,

02:54:37.622 --> 02:54:39.181
as your whole body doubles over from the pain.

02:54:39.181 --> 02:54:41.692
Sam: Keyleth dies in episode 1.

02:54:41.692 --> 02:54:44.882
Matt: You suffer 31 points of poison damage.

02:54:44.882 --> 02:54:47.682
Marisha: 31, on top of the 6, 4 and 6?

02:54:47.682 --> 02:54:49.222
Matt: Yep.

02:54:49.222 --> 02:54:50.422
Travis: Are you okay?

02:54:50.422 --> 02:54:51.062
Matt: The poison damage is not halved

02:54:51.062 --> 02:54:53.520
because it is not a physical attack on your body.

02:54:53.520 --> 02:54:54.690
Laura: Is Keyleth unconscious?

02:54:54.690 --> 02:54:57.337
Sam: No, she's ok.

02:54:57.337 --> 02:55:02.700
Matt: Tiberius you take 13 points of damage halved by Stoneskin

02:55:02.700 --> 02:55:05.362
so you take a total of seven.

02:55:05.362 --> 02:55:07.410
And also make a constitution saving throw.

02:55:11.187 --> 02:55:12.106
What'cha got?

02:55:14.885 --> 02:55:16.085
Orion: It's a 16.

02:55:16.085 --> 02:55:18.105
Matt: 16, you manage to physically resist

02:55:18.105 --> 02:55:20.005
the poison in your system.

02:55:20.005 --> 02:55:22.105
You feel that slight tinge, the muscles tense,

02:55:22.105 --> 02:55:24.968
but then your dragonborn form begins to just

02:55:24.968 --> 02:55:27.365
shrug off the effect of the venom.

02:55:27.365 --> 02:55:29.593
Orion: Can I turn to him and blow fire out of my nostrils?

02:55:29.593 --> 02:55:30.645
Matt: Sure.

02:55:30.645 --> 02:55:32.345
Orion: That's what I do.

02:55:32.345 --> 02:55:34.585
Matt: True dragonborn challenge.

02:55:34.585 --> 02:55:35.825
That brings us to Vax.

02:55:35.825 --> 02:55:38.265
Liam: Okay, I start jogging backwards.

02:55:38.265 --> 02:55:41.505
Marisha: Took me down to 16 hit points.

02:55:41.505 --> 02:55:43.280
Liam: And can I sneak attack while prone.

02:55:43.280 --> 02:55:46.282
Matt: You're stealthed currently so you would

02:55:46.282 --> 02:55:48.045
technically get a sneak attack

02:55:48.045 --> 02:55:49.838
but you have to be in melee for you to get the other bonus.

02:55:49.838 --> 02:55:51.325
So it would be sneak attack for this damage if you were to roll

02:55:51.325 --> 02:55:52.931
or if you were to throw a dagger at it,

02:55:52.931 --> 02:55:54.325
you would get the sneak attack.

02:55:54.325 --> 02:55:56.279
Liam: Okay, so that means just one throw instead of two?

02:55:56.279 --> 02:55:58.261
Matt: You can throw both daggers at it.

02:55:58.261 --> 02:56:00.885
Liam: All right. I feel so inspired by Scanlan's bardic tunes -

02:56:00.885 --> 02:56:02.305
Scanlan: (singing) Yeah!

02:56:02.305 --> 02:56:04.525
Matt: You can add it after you make the roll by the way.

02:56:04.525 --> 02:56:07.356
Laura: So if you do a really good roll then you don't need it.

02:56:07.356 --> 02:56:09.785
Liam: Okay, 19 plus eleven is thirty.

02:56:09.785 --> 02:56:13.105
Matt: And because you're a rogue isn't that critical for you?

02:56:13.105 --> 02:56:15.215
Liam: Yeah. Oh, yeah.

02:56:15.215 --> 02:56:19.325
Matt: Two criticals!

02:56:19.325 --> 02:56:22.825
Liam: And the other one, the other one is a 16 plus, plus...

02:56:22.825 --> 02:56:24.405
is a 26.

02:56:24.405 --> 02:56:25.162
Matt: That also hits.

02:56:25.162 --> 02:56:27.955
So you chuck both daggers out, they both arc around.

02:56:27.955 --> 02:56:34.704
Liam:  I meant to say I was aiming at its eye,

02:56:34.704 --> 02:56:36.325
the main head's eye.

02:56:36.325 --> 02:56:38.283
Laura: No, you should've said that first.

02:56:38.283 --> 02:56:40.765
Matt: For flavor it's fine. Just go ahead, it's fine.

02:56:40.765 --> 02:56:42.105
Liam: All right, four.

02:56:42.105 --> 02:56:43.065
Laura: Four!

02:56:43.065 --> 02:56:46.685
Liam: Plus seven is eleven plus five...

02:56:46.685 --> 02:56:50.907
18. 20. 20 times...

02:56:50.907 --> 02:56:52.365
is 40 plus 4.

02:56:58.985 --> 02:57:00.285
44, that's the first dagger?

02:57:00.285 --> 02:57:01.326
Matt: Yeah, 44 damage.

02:57:01.326 --> 02:57:02.559
Liam: 44.

02:57:02.559 --> 02:57:03.218
Travis: Damn!

02:57:03.218 --> 02:57:04.045
Matt: Rogues, man.

02:57:04.045 --> 02:57:06.985
Marisha: Help me. Help.

02:57:06.985 --> 02:57:09.018
Laura: That's just one dagger?

02:57:09.018 --> 02:57:10.845
Liam: That's just one- 4 plus 2 is 6.

02:57:10.845 --> 02:57:12.609
Is that sneak attack? No.

02:57:12.609 --> 02:57:13.305
Matt: No, only one sneak attack per turn.

02:57:13.305 --> 02:57:14.865
Liam: Okay.

02:57:14.865 --> 02:57:16.645
Laura: 40 and then 6 on the other one.

02:57:16.645 --> 02:57:18.996
Matt: All right, so one actually hit one of the heads,

02:57:18.996 --> 02:57:21.605
one of the various naga heads directly into its face.

02:57:21.605 --> 02:57:24.585
As it does  it goes through both eyes and you can see it begin

02:57:24.585 --> 02:57:26.964
reeling from the attack.

02:57:28.671 --> 02:57:29.835
It’s looking pretty rough actually.

02:57:29.835 --> 02:57:32.364
Laura: Oh! Kill it!

02:57:32.364 --> 02:57:34.037
Matt: You can see the stitches beginning to come apart at

02:57:34.037 --> 02:57:36.384
some of the seams and you can see a black ichorous liquid

02:57:36.384 --> 02:57:38.983
spill out from some of the suture marks.

02:57:38.983 --> 02:57:40.344
Liam: And just a reminder the daggers, folks,

02:57:40.344 --> 02:57:42.361
blink back to the belt on my waist.

02:57:42.361 --> 02:57:43.612
(all laugh)

02:57:43.612 --> 02:57:45.584
Matt: Because magic.

02:57:45.584 --> 02:57:48.402
Magic rogue shit.

02:57:48.402 --> 02:57:50.284
Matt: Keyleth, you're up.

02:57:50.284 --> 02:57:51.799
Laura: Kill him, kill him!

02:57:51.799 --> 02:58:00.384
Marisha: Okay, so I'm really upset, really hurting.

02:58:00.384 --> 02:58:02.544
So out of anger I take my staff and I go - (bam) -

02:58:02.544 --> 02:58:04.004
and I crack and do Thunderwave

02:58:04.004 --> 02:58:05.944
pushing him back 15 feet.

02:58:05.944 --> 02:58:06.994
Matt: All right.

02:58:06.994 --> 02:58:08.771
Makes the saving throw.

02:58:08.771 --> 02:58:10.515
But he gets pushed back, so he takes damage just half damage.

02:58:10.515 --> 02:58:15.571
Marisha: Okay, 2d8. 6.

02:58:15.571 --> 02:58:16.564
Matt: As you're setting up your gun

02:58:16.564 --> 02:58:19.707
it gets slammed right point blank to you.

02:58:19.707 --> 02:58:20.584
Marisha: Oh sorry.

02:58:20.584 --> 02:58:23.150
Laura and Travis: No that's good!

02:58:23.150 --> 02:58:24.318
Marisha: It takes 4 damage.

02:58:24.318 --> 02:58:26.628
Matt: 4 damage, all righty.

02:58:26.628 --> 02:58:31.066
Marisha: And then I'm going to turn into an eagle.

02:58:31.066 --> 02:58:33.804
Sam: (laughs) As one does.

02:58:33.804 --> 02:58:35.751
Matt: So we'll say for that, because I forgot to bring an eagle,

02:58:35.751 --> 02:58:40.784
You're now a - (eagle sounds)

02:58:40.784 --> 02:58:43.064
Marisha: And I -

02:58:43.064 --> 02:58:44.384
I fly...

02:58:44.384 --> 02:58:46.240
away.

02:58:46.240 --> 02:58:46.564
Travis: Away.

02:58:46.564 --> 02:58:48.144
(all laugh)

02:58:48.144 --> 02:58:49.384
Orion: Away.

02:58:49.384 --> 02:58:51.662
Keyleth: Far far away.

02:58:51.662 --> 02:58:54.044
Tiberius: Where are you going?!

02:58:54.044 --> 02:58:55.038
Laura: You got 4 damage, good job Keyleth.

02:58:55.038 --> 02:58:58.244
Scanlan: Tell our story, Keyleth.

02:58:58.244 --> 02:58:59.137
Marisha: And then I cry in the corner and

02:58:59.137 --> 02:59:01.375
rock back and forth a little bit.

02:59:01.375 --> 02:59:02.534
And that's my turn.

02:59:02.534 --> 02:59:03.785
Matt: I forgot to mention you actually take half damage

02:59:03.785 --> 02:59:05.024
for the saving throw for the venom

02:59:05.024 --> 02:59:06.572
so you still would've taken

02:59:06.572 --> 02:59:08.104
14 points of poison damage, so just mark that.

02:59:08.104 --> 02:59:09.764
Orion: Okay.

02:59:09.764 --> 02:59:11.184
Matt: It is half damage on a save.

02:59:11.184 --> 02:59:14.032
Matt: All right, that brings us to Scanlan.

02:59:14.032 --> 02:59:18.438
Sam: Can I bonus inspire myself?

02:59:18.438 --> 02:59:20.364
Matt: Because you're Scanlan I'll say, yes.

02:59:20.364 --> 02:59:21.844
(all laugh)

02:59:21.844 --> 02:59:25.504
Matt: You have such a high opinion of yourself

02:59:25.504 --> 02:59:28.155
that even you could inspire yourself.

02:59:28.155 --> 02:59:29.865
So yes, why not.

02:59:29.865 --> 02:59:33.364
Scanlan: (singing) It would help me to acquire some dice to inspire.

02:59:33.364 --> 02:59:36.184
So I inspire myself first

02:59:36.184 --> 02:59:38.983
and move 5 feet back so I'm on the same row as him.

02:59:38.983 --> 02:59:40.346
Matt: There?

02:59:40.346 --> 02:59:40.644
Sam: Not that far.

02:59:40.644 --> 02:59:41.399
Matt: There.

02:59:41.399 --> 02:59:42.944
Sam: Yes.

02:59:42.944 --> 02:59:44.822
And them I'm going to cast Lightning Bolt at him.

02:59:44.822 --> 02:59:47.097
Matt: Okay! Straight line that way?

02:59:47.097 --> 02:59:47.784
Sam: Straight line, that way.

02:59:47.784 --> 02:59:50.454
Matt: You don't have to roll to hit.

02:59:50.454 --> 02:59:51.474
You just roll damage on that.

02:59:51.474 --> 02:59:52.569
I make a saving throw.

02:59:52.569 --> 02:59:53.424
Sam: Oh! I didn't even need to inspire.

02:59:53.424 --> 02:59:55.164
Matt: What's your DC on the spell?

02:59:55.164 --> 02:59:55.984
Top you your spell list.

02:59:55.984 --> 02:59:57.304
Orion: 17.

02:59:57.304 --> 02:59:58.381
Sam: Thank you.

02:59:58.381 --> 03:00:00.173
Matt: 17? That's a failure on its saving throw.

03:00:00.173 --> 03:00:02.219
Go ahead and roll 8d6.

03:00:02.219 --> 03:00:04.211
Laura: 8d6?!

03:00:04.211 --> 03:00:06.502
Kill him!

03:00:06.502 --> 03:00:09.480
Matt: Bards. Gets spells from other classes.

03:00:09.480 --> 03:00:12.504
Travis: If you kill, I will take a shit on this table.

03:00:12.504 --> 03:00:15.226
Sam: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 ,11, 12, 13, 14 -

03:00:15.226 --> 03:00:17.627
Liam: It's gone.

03:00:17.627 --> 03:00:19.360
Sam: 24!

03:00:19.360 --> 03:00:19.860
Matt: 24 points of lightning damage.

03:00:19.860 --> 03:00:20.574
Travis: No way.

03:00:20.574 --> 03:00:21.342
Sam: Yes.

03:00:21.342 --> 03:00:22.540
Marisha: Kill it, kill it.

03:00:22.540 --> 03:00:24.060
Sam: (yells, turns into a sung note)

03:00:24.060 --> 03:00:25.923
Matt: How do you want to do this?

03:00:25.923 --> 03:00:30.552
(all yelling)

03:00:30.552 --> 03:00:32.180
Marisha: Wait, wait! Is this the first time you've -

03:00:32.180 --> 03:00:35.357
Sam: I've never killed anything before!

03:00:35.922 --> 03:00:37.925
Travis: Never killed anything in two years!

03:00:37.939 --> 03:00:38.857
Liam: Wait, wait.

03:00:38.857 --> 03:00:41.079
For the people at home, we live to hear Matt say:

03:00:41.079 --> 03:00:42.839
All: "How do you want to do this?"

03:00:42.839 --> 03:00:45.093
Matt: I let the player describe their victory.

03:00:45.093 --> 03:00:48.038
So, as you sing to yourself to bolster your arcane energy,

03:00:48.038 --> 03:00:50.287
you release a sheer bolt of energy.

03:00:50.287 --> 03:00:52.398
How do you want to do this?

03:00:52.398 --> 03:00:57.654
Sam: The bolt of lightning begins in its tail and works its way up

03:00:57.654 --> 03:00:59.224
through its spine,

03:00:59.224 --> 03:01:02.053
slowly but painfully torturing it

03:01:02.053 --> 03:01:05.389
as it slowly, slowly feels the effect

03:01:05.389 --> 03:01:08.659
coursing through its evil body.

03:01:08.659 --> 03:01:13.591
Matt: Because of your bardic ability to actually shape sound

03:01:13.591 --> 03:01:14.919
from an arcane standpoint,

03:01:14.919 --> 03:01:16.639
a lightning bolt should be an instant flash

03:01:16.639 --> 03:01:19.179
of arcane energy, you actually cause it to crawl.

03:01:19.179 --> 03:01:21.693
You control it as it begins to cascade up the torso

03:01:21.693 --> 03:01:24.199
of this horrible abomination.

03:01:24.199 --> 03:01:26.899
As it does you can see the bolts splinter and destroy

03:01:26.899 --> 03:01:31.052
each suture wound as each of its begins to slough off

03:01:31.052 --> 03:01:32.519
the rest of the torso until nothing is left but the single head

03:01:32.519 --> 03:01:34.739
screaming into the air.

03:01:34.739 --> 03:01:36.215
As the bolt makes its way up the neck,

03:01:36.215 --> 03:01:38.079
its eyes burst out in a blast of energy.

03:01:38.079 --> 03:01:40.921
Matt: And the body falls limp to the ground.

03:01:40.921 --> 03:01:43.959
Sam: Can it have a lightning bolt shaped in an "S"?

03:01:43.959 --> 03:01:46.093
Matt: A Scanlan shaped lightning bolt

03:01:46.093 --> 03:01:49.179
is burned into the torso of the strange naga beast.

03:01:49.179 --> 03:01:52.339
(all cheer)

03:01:52.339 --> 03:01:54.447
Travis: Well done Scanlan, well done!

03:01:54.447 --> 03:01:57.166
Matt: As the dust settles, the adrenalin still pumping

03:01:57.166 --> 03:01:59.200
in your system Scanlan,

03:01:59.200 --> 03:02:01.219
all the rest of the dwarves begin stepping down,

03:02:01.219 --> 03:02:03.099
putting their crossbows down, looking down at the little gnome

03:02:03.099 --> 03:02:06.354
that created a storm from its hands and one of them

03:02:06.354 --> 03:02:09.159
pats him on the shoulder and goes:

03:02:09.159 --> 03:02:12.062
Dwarf: Well - well done.

03:02:12.062 --> 03:02:16.959
Scanlan: Thank you. Just promise me you'll tell Pike about this.

03:02:16.959 --> 03:02:19.119
Dwarf: Okay?

03:02:19.119 --> 03:02:21.335
Scanlan: Because it was really cool, right?

03:02:21.335 --> 03:02:22.699
Dwarf: That was pretty cool.

03:02:22.699 --> 03:02:23.839
Scanlan: Okay, good.

03:02:23.839 --> 03:02:27.152
Matt: All the dwarves look into the tunnel that it came from

03:02:27.152 --> 03:02:29.079
and the one that you spoke to earlier goes:

03:02:29.079 --> 03:02:32.560
Dwarf: So… that's the kind of thing that's been coming out of there.

03:02:32.560 --> 03:02:34.219
Vex: Lovely.

03:02:34.219 --> 03:02:35.363
Keyleth: Thanks for the heads up.

03:02:35.363 --> 03:02:37.659
Percy: That was really helpful.

03:02:37.659 --> 03:02:38.747
Matt: We'll go ahead and leave the game there for the night.

03:02:38.747 --> 03:02:40.199
(all cheer)

03:02:40.199 --> 03:02:42.619
Matt: All right folks, well done.

03:02:42.619 --> 03:02:47.359
Hope you guys had fun watching our first ever Critical Role.

03:02:47.359 --> 03:02:49.841
That was a good time so we'll be here next week on Thursday.

03:02:49.841 --> 03:02:50.859
7 o'clock though.

03:02:50.859 --> 03:02:52.279
Laura: 7 pm.

03:02:52.279 --> 03:02:53.399
Matt: Today was just a special early edition because

03:02:53.399 --> 03:02:54.916
all of Geek and Sundry is going to SXSW.

03:02:54.916 --> 03:02:55.457
Zac: Good Job, dude.

03:02:55.457 --> 03:02:57.630
Matt: Dude, thank you, Zac.

03:02:57.630 --> 03:02:59.804
Zac: This is fun, this is so much fun.

03:02:59.804 --> 03:03:00.499
Marisha: Hell yeah!

03:03:00.499 --> 03:03:02.239
Zac: This is the most fun I've had all week now

03:03:02.239 --> 03:03:04.519
until I die of stress behind the camera.

03:03:04.519 --> 03:03:05.499
Matt: Good! That's good.

03:03:05.499 --> 03:03:11.339
Zac: So guys, I hate to end it so abruptly

03:03:11.339 --> 03:03:13.914
but we're actually packing up the cameras

03:03:13.914 --> 03:03:17.417
that are filming me now, our unit, everything, lights,

03:03:17.417 --> 03:03:20.398
and getting on a plane and heading to SXSW.

03:03:20.398 --> 03:03:24.425
We may stream tomorrow, we may not, we're flying blind,

03:03:24.425 --> 03:03:26.828
we'll see what stuff looks like when we get there.

03:03:26.828 --> 03:03:30.217
But thank you guys so much and we'll be back next week, 7 pm.

03:03:30.217 --> 03:03:31.379
Matt: 7pm.

03:03:31.379 --> 03:03:33.480
Zac: Next week guys, it’s gonna be great.

03:03:33.480 --> 03:03:34.499
Matt: Thank you all for coming.
