15:45

a bit of a moment. Exploded.

15:49

Out a bunch of gems and spiderwebs

15:51

like you deal. Triggering

15:54

the for for conversion.

15:56

by the spider queen of opel

15:58

into opel the crowned champion

16:01

of the Spider Queen. Opal,

16:04

your friends love you so much, and

16:06

they are currently fighting to

16:09

the death to save you. And

16:12

that's where we're gonna pick up. Currently,

16:16

just as a little reminder for the group, we

16:19

have a big ol' bubble of darkness in the

16:21

middle of the field, so none of you saw

16:25

Ted disappear back into Opal's body

16:28

as Opal grows, stretches out a

16:30

little taller, three sets

16:32

of arms, and renewed

16:35

specific violent purpose to

16:38

shake you off, to get away, so

16:40

that she can take her place beside in

16:44

front of the Spider Queen

16:46

for whatever's coming, as the

16:48

moon of Il-Omen turns its

16:50

gaze. Oh, thank you for

16:52

doing the sounds. I don't do the sounds, the

16:55

buttons are confusing to me. I'm

16:57

sorry. As

17:00

the moon of Il-Omen turns its gaze on

17:03

the gods of Exandria, we

17:06

have haste, we have

17:08

darkness, and a bless,

17:10

I swear to God, Matt, I will knock

17:13

off of you before I leave. I

17:16

just gotta call that shot now, because we're in it.

17:19

What about my velvet enmity? That's

17:22

not technically like- Wait a minute? Huh?

17:25

No, no, it's still up, but

17:27

it's not a concentration spell. I can't get rid of that.

17:29

I never cut that. Yeah. Yeah. But I'm gonna

17:31

say live. Live! They

17:34

are responding in the discord

17:36

right now. Don't read the

17:38

comments. With

17:42

that in mind, we

17:45

also have two instances of

17:47

illusory magic up on the field, because

17:50

both of our boys over

17:52

here are having sort of a high

17:54

ground bestie moment. Yeah. They

17:58

are fully holding hands. They are fully holding hands. Why

18:00

are you holding hands? I don't know what they're supposed to say on

18:02

that day. I know. They're

18:04

keeping each other safe for balance.

18:06

Varyax, you see your friend Opal

18:09

has turned into a massive dryder.

18:13

Which is fine. It's cute. It's

18:15

actually very cute, don't you worry. Don't you worry. And

18:18

Dorian. I got both your names right. Last

18:21

time in the episode. Double D. Dorian,

18:23

you see your worst fear, which is

18:25

all of your friends, all of your

18:27

allies, everyone here has succumbed

18:29

to the darkness that you

18:32

saw threatening Fern

18:35

when you first set out on your adventure

18:37

down to near Dalpalk. I

18:42

think it's time to get back into it. Opal.

18:47

Mm-hmm. The Spider

18:49

Queen. You feel as your

18:51

body stretches out, like growth pains of

18:56

summer after summer of like you being stretched. You

18:58

can feel it in your joints, in your

19:00

back, in your muscles. Spider

19:03

Queen puts a hand on your

19:05

shoulder and another and pulls you

19:07

close in. And in

19:09

your ear, you hear her

19:11

say, you

19:13

finish this fight or

19:15

I will. Whoa, wait, wait. She

19:19

does laugh. Oh, good. Hey. Hi.

19:23

Hey, Spidey. Mm, get back. Oh,

19:25

ma'am. Oh, ma'am. Love

19:28

that. Listen, I...why

19:31

can't we do both? You know what I mean? Why

19:34

can't I keep my memories and keep my

19:36

friends and still be your

19:38

champion? You know what I mean? The

19:41

fact that you're negotiating with me, right? I'm not

19:43

negotiating. You are. No. You want

19:45

me to change my behavior? Uh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

19:47

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not

19:49

change, not change. Uh, pivot.

19:52

Pivot. It's so easy for you

19:54

to do, um, because I can

19:57

still be me and still be yours. You

20:00

know what I mean? And besides, I think what

20:02

makes me like a good champion is that, um... that

20:07

I am who I am. You know what I

20:09

mean? Are you willing to

20:11

do whatever is

20:13

required? What's

20:17

required? And

20:20

you get a sudden download. The

20:23

Spider Queen has held so much from

20:26

you. You felt her fear and her

20:28

trepidation and the closing of

20:30

her fingers around you. Like

20:33

I'm choking you. And

20:35

now you are shown why. You

20:38

see Ruidas, you see the moon,

20:40

and deep within it, something

20:44

monstrous. And

20:47

you feel the fear of

20:49

the Spider Queen and

20:51

the Betrayer Gods and the Prime Deities.

20:55

Not as a human fear or

20:57

dread or loathing, but a primal.

21:00

They are prey to whatever

21:02

fits at the center

21:05

of Ruidas. Wait.

21:09

Are you scared? Don't

21:15

be hate me scared. Scared

21:18

all the time? Make

21:20

an insight, Jack. I'm

21:22

gonna use my Opal Dice. Yeah. Oh

21:27

shit. Hold on. Yeah.

21:32

It's not funny. It's not

21:34

funny. It's

21:36

funny. It's

21:38

not funny. Oh

21:42

no. I

21:45

don't like that smirk. She

21:47

leans in so close, wherever you both

21:50

are now. The

21:53

price just doubled. What

21:55

price? What price? Kill

21:58

two and the rest get to work. walk

22:00

away. I understand. Listen, listen.

22:02

I'm not trying to negotiate with you. Obviously,

22:04

you're very powerful. I'm not negotiating. I'm not

22:06

negotiating. Get to work. One more thing. Um,

22:10

just one more thing. It is so

22:13

funny that I like wanted to transition out of it, but

22:15

you said it so guys, I have to honor that. Great.

22:17

Um, just

22:20

one more thing. Our champion ever. What? Why

22:23

do you need them to die? Because

22:26

they won't leave you. And

22:29

if you can't see it, maybe

22:32

you're not smart enough to be my champion.

22:35

How do I know that truth about your friends

22:38

better than you do? You

22:42

chose my crown. You

22:45

took this power. You kind

22:47

of pressured me into it, but I understand.

22:50

Okay. You get one more or

22:53

my price goes up. Okay.

22:58

Thank you. Send them away. Yep.

23:01

Or bury them. Okay.

23:04

Thank you so much. Do

23:09

you just risk the spider

23:11

queen? It helps with the

23:13

stress. It feels really good. Vermont.

23:16

Give me a persuasion check. You

27:12

person technically cars and yeah, I forgot your

27:14

28:03

I'm trying to figure out where I can be in range

28:05

28:41

Alright, cool. So you've got four spiders in

28:48

Four spiders. Yeah, you have to be. Oh wait, that's a

28:50

very good point. Wait, wait, let me look at what this is.

28:53

Yeah, you're right. Okay, I have to see them

28:55

within range. Thanks Matt. Sorry. Well

28:58

29:44

was like my entire plan and now I don't know

29:46

29:50

well I'll do that. I'm not a fail. Stab

29:52

shit. Yeah, hit it with your stuff. Yeah, kill

29:54

the bad guys. Does That spank you? Does That spider

29:56

29:59

That one down there? Who knew.

30:01

30:03

currently. Serves

30:05

as a nice distraction, right? Yeah, Sirens is he

30:07

let them. And Nine right? Pentagon. after three calls.

30:11

For the spider than insights have you have. You

30:15

brought him into existence. Of

30:17

the committee was not an easy to miss out on a

30:19

hundred you can think of a some of as as. I

30:23

sat. Lives the Plus Zero Seven to Fourteen Ten

30:25

A way to apply for a for get you.

30:29

Know Ah bless his efforts have holes and pleading

30:31

for an eye on them into that for sure.

30:33

I saw the i think you precluding need of

30:35

another to keep the honest is us and fourteen.

30:38

There's not a lot of like subtlety

30:40

to a spider so the insights are

30:42

getting access to get a sense of

30:44

legs cz this thing looking back and

30:46

forth between the thing is currently like

30:48

grappling and pinning down and attacking and

30:50

the gem. Know. This.

30:53

Thing is absolutely focus on fi.

30:55

Really and is going to end him

30:57

before finding a new thing and do.

31:00

32:05

I'm gonna. I'd my passive device, my. And

32:09

of can I have another one that's gonna

32:11

32:20

Yeah, well, how does he look? I.

First hit, you feel like you like it.

32:34

36:18

rest of it it would have been worse. We

36:25

I need I need to add that in. All right

36:27

well. And I

36:29

also need two concentration checks to maintain

36:31

your haste. Yes. Okay what is the content right?

36:34

Both of them are for they're just a 10.

36:36

You just have to roll over 10. 20.

36:40

That's true. That wasn't

36:42

a nine. You're gonna make

36:44

it because you have to add in your cone.

36:47

I rolled a four. Oh so

36:54

Wait save save. Correct. Ah

your haste. Thanks

37:05

so much. Your honor to be nominated happy to

37:07

be here. So great. Stay

37:09

here keep going. Yeah so I'm gonna

37:11

take that that that hasty

37:13

action and I'm gonna try to hit

37:15

the guy the one who spit in my face. Yeah

37:18

okay you aim for back fighter. Come on.

37:20

Who's like come on. Come on. So

37:23

that's seven seventeen to hit. Plus d4. Oh okay

37:26

sure. It hit. Okay I'm gonna add the

37:28

d4. The

37:31

ac for the spiders is 15. Cool right. Okay

37:33

um. Playing the part of Caduceus over here. Yeah

37:35

no I love it. Thank you so much. The

37:37

d4 is flippy. Of course the d4 would do

37:39

that. Yeah okay. Um okay so I

37:42

love you. I love you with

37:44

my whole heart. I hate blood.

37:46

Come at me. That's an eight. So

37:48

it's 10 damage and then I get to add

37:50

my passive divine smite. That's a

37:52

seven. Nice. Amazing. So I don't know what that means. And

37:55

your passive divine smite happens every time you hit. Oh

37:57

let me look. I think it is. I think

37:59

I I think it is. We just

38:01

want to make sure everyone understands

38:04

their abilities the whole time. Yeah, it actually

38:06

says, oh, Cabria. Oh!

38:11

I customized it so it would say

38:13

that. I don't like it. What I did is

38:15

that. Actually, an act of interest whenever you hit

38:17

with a melee weapon attacking targets, is an extra

38:19

G8. Sixth edition is weirdly mean. Is it really?

38:23

Are you really? Yeah, I don't. Eight

38:25

plus seven? Yeah, eight plus seven. Okay,

38:27

fifteen. It's all I can see. Yeah, fifteen

38:29

damage. Amazing. The

38:31

spider in the back. You see

38:33

the way in which you miss in this

38:36

thing rearing back, going, I didn't like it.

38:38

You spit it in my face. You're

38:40

able to catch it on its underside and work your

38:42

way in between bits of its carapace. And

38:45

you sink your blade deeply into it. No

38:50

scream. There's no sense

38:52

of a thing alive feeling

38:54

its life forestrained away. I think you understand

38:57

better than you ever have before. This

39:00

thing is only real and called

39:02

in by a god. So

39:05

it's simply going to fight until it doesn't

39:07

exist anymore or it wins. Or

39:10

the god calls it back, like says like a new

39:12

one. Yeah, that's a thing she could do too, but

39:14

probably not. She's busy. Is this

39:16

an okay time for me to? What

39:19

a question. Is this an okay time for me to

39:21

be like, what do you think, queen? Tell me what to do. Or,

39:23

um, may turn to Braimins, tell me what to do. Maybe. What

39:26

does it look like? Like you've run

39:30

so quickly. You scrambled up here. You're

39:32

on the edge of this like

39:34

bubble of darkness inside of which

39:36

is opal, unseen, but you

39:38

can feel the change in her. You can

39:40

feel the change in this

39:42

place. You

39:45

hit both spiders. They are

39:47

doing badly. What

39:50

does it feel like as you reach towards

39:52

your patron, the matron? I didn't mean to

39:54

do that. And I'm sorry. My patron, matron

39:57

of raisins. Watch

40:01

out for my album. I'm gonna be able to

40:03

do that. Produced

40:05

by Linda. I think it was. I

40:09

think it's interesting because there's something that feels inherently

40:11

wrong about destroying something that was made of a

40:13

god. Especially because I'm now

40:16

in servitude to the matron of ravens. Ooh.

40:20

And so there's weird feelies. Like

40:22

I think Morgan's a very primal person, especially

40:24

being from the fate wilds. Like she's-

40:27

like that was her instinct, but then sitting

40:30

there and covered in whatever it is, like

40:32

spider blood and acidy goo, she's like, What

40:35

the fuck am I doing? Like, is

40:38

this what I'm supposed to be doing? Is

40:41

this wrong? Should I let this happen? I don't know.

40:45

You reach out. Give

40:48

me- Give

40:51

me a persuasion check. You

41:06

reach out with all of your feelings of like,

41:09

confusion and even

41:12

warring with the like, discomfort

41:14

you feel attacking things that are

41:16

so clearly of the

41:18

gods. There is

41:21

a part of you that understands fight the feral

41:23

bit of you. You remember

41:25

a bit of your home and all

41:28

of that wars within itself. I would say she

41:30

even looks down at the spider blood, I'm assuming

41:32

they bleed. Yeah. No

41:36

one knows what to say. She

41:39

would probably, especially because blood magic is like a big

41:41

proponent of matron of ravens and all that. I would

41:44

say she even would look down and maybe slice her

41:46

hand a little and mix it with like- Do

41:48

you know what I mean? Like am I a

41:50

thing of the god or two? Like am I no different

41:52

from these spiders? Like am I

41:55

the same? Please take inspiration

41:57

as your blood mingles with that.

42:00

And it burned. Yeah,

42:02

okay, sure. Yeah. And

42:06

you... And

42:09

the mixing of the two, your blood,

42:12

this thing's blood or goo

42:14

or whatever life force, you

42:18

kind of turn and it's like a Rorschach. Like

42:21

image appears wide,

42:25

two-point flint, a

42:28

mask. That which

42:31

you know to be the visage

42:34

of the matron of ravens. And

42:37

you send out not words in

42:40

a question, but a question

42:42

nonetheless. And

42:44

you feel the answer. What

42:51

do you hope to do? I understand

42:53

the fighting.

42:58

These things are abominations created

43:02

by a betrayer. Defend

43:05

your will. Why

43:08

are you fighting? I

43:17

just thought that was what I was supposed to do. I've

43:21

made you. I've

43:25

given you martial prowess. I've

43:27

offered you magic. To

43:31

serve my aims. Perhaps

43:35

it is my fault for

43:37

not telling you the stakes. There's

43:42

being a

43:44

beast, a monster that

43:47

followed my siblings. And

43:50

here you feel a little

43:53

strangeness as

43:55

the matron of ravens who you know

43:58

was once a mortal. that walked

44:01

this world in the

44:03

time before the calamity. As

44:06

she tries to hold

44:09

herself at the status of

44:11

her brethren, this

44:13

thing followed them, chased

44:16

them, and

44:18

threatens to return. I

44:22

have no love for the Spider Queen

44:25

or her working, but

44:28

she fights now to defend her life.

44:33

And I serve life

44:37

and death. And

44:40

that means so to you. Morgan

44:44

Ferris, why are you fighting? And

44:47

what are you fighting for? I don't know. I

44:59

don't know. I need you to tell me. Am

45:02

I to become your abomination? You

45:08

are no abomination, and

45:11

what was asked of. And

45:16

you feel a flash inside of you. The

45:20

name Georgina quickly walked back.

45:25

Opal. Oh, I don't

45:27

think I knew that was your name. She

45:29

didn't mean to say it. The

45:32

matron of ravens has a strong thing about names.

45:35

And it goes, whoop, my bad. She

45:38

is a Virgo. She is a

45:40

Virgo. That's canon. When

45:48

she agreed to wear the

45:50

vestige, she

45:53

knew or didn't

45:55

consider what that would entail.

45:59

I have asked her to be a Virgo. I

46:02

have not asked that of you yet, and

46:06

it is a conversation. What

46:10

she agreed to, she

46:12

agreed to. So

46:15

you have a choice to make. I

46:19

can tell you. Should

46:24

I tell you? Please tell me anything. Please

46:27

tell me anything. You

46:29

feel it like a rushing. A

46:33

raven is a massive thing up

46:35

close. And

46:37

it's like a bird frenzied

46:41

in your face. You feel packing

46:43

at your eyes

46:45

and your mouth, wings flapping,

46:47

talons clawing. Run!

46:52

This is not where you die. I

46:55

did not make you mine to

46:58

fall here. And

47:05

then all of that flapping

47:07

goes away. And the thing you

47:09

are aware of is the

47:11

cool, dispassionate visage, the

47:15

removal of the matron of ravens

47:17

again. She

47:19

showed you something deep within her that

47:21

she did not offer

47:24

lightly. Panic.

47:29

And maybe a hint of cowardice. And

47:36

the blood trails away. No

47:39

longer a face.

47:42

No longer a portal or a connection.

47:46

And you are yourself again and here and

47:48

now in a fight. I'm

47:52

going to use the remainder of my

47:55

move to just

47:58

move out of range of the spider. Knowing

48:01

that moving out of the range of the fighters

48:04

will incur opportunity attacks, do you continue to do

48:06

so? No, I'll just say, I want to finish

48:08

the last one. Okay. You

48:10

good? Yay! Next

48:13

up is Dorian! We're

48:15

having a great time. We are, everything's

48:17

fine. So good. It's super

48:20

light, the energy in this room is not fucked.

48:23

I love this game! Dorian's frustrated at

48:25

himself for his failed attempts to dispel

48:27

that darkness is eating at him because

48:29

he had an engagement with dispel before

48:32

that went his way and he feels

48:34

like it's beating him this

48:36

time. But he can't help but see

48:38

his sweet, sweet idiot brother being tackled

48:40

by a spider over that

48:42

dome. So, how far away

48:45

would you say that is? Ish. Ish?

48:48

Okay, I can Ish. Bless you for

48:50

asking an Ish question. We'll

48:52

call that 60, it's like 55. Okay, great. So

48:57

he's going to just hover straight up from where he is

48:59

just so he can get over the top of the dome

49:01

and kind of see what he's looking at. Sure, sure, sure.

49:03

And he's going to look down at Dariax and say, all

49:05

right, old friend, call it. Change

49:07

up sink or a fastball. Oh, I

49:11

mean, a fastball sounds most fun, so I'm going to say I probably

49:13

go with a fastball, right? Deal. Why

49:15

is every game I'm in someone invents fucking

49:17

baseball? And

49:20

he is going to look and he's... No ball technically

49:22

and it was Chris Perkins. There you go. Chris

49:25

Perkins turned me into a werewolf in my private

49:27

campaign. Really? Yeah, he's the reason

49:29

I may. What are you doing? Yeah. Or,

49:32

I'm sorry or you're welcome. I don't know,

49:34

we're on the monster fucker spectrum, you lie.

49:36

Yeah, very to the right. He's

49:40

going to get a light on the spider on top

49:42

of his brother. He's got this little row of

49:44

diamonds that sits in his thing, but he's only...

49:46

His thing? His what? His chest plate. It's

49:50

been bedazzled previously, but there's one... You're

49:53

wearing armor. Yeah,

49:55

there's only one left. And he's

49:58

going to sink it off his shoulder, grab it. and

50:01

because you said fastball, there's gonna be

50:04

just this energy of sound crackling from

50:06

his hand and he's gonna try to

50:08

cast Chromatic Ornn. Yeah.

50:11

Thank you. What if I

50:13

say no thank you? Does that have to? Does

50:16

it have to? If I don't want that? Yeah,

50:19

you want to fight about it? Or I can't. Like,

50:21

Abrilla, fight about it? We're

50:24

about to find out. Does a...

50:28

Does a 26 hit the spider? Just

50:31

barely. Okay, good.

50:36

Zorian said it, he's finally hit a

50:38

headache. I have to do it once. Last

50:43

time you launched this, it was lightning, but he's

50:45

working on something new. It's the

50:47

essence of a storm, but

50:49

it's just sound, but like

50:51

sound solidified into matter. And

50:53

it sort of rumbles in his

50:56

hand and even faster than lightning at

50:58

the speed of sound that might not

51:00

be scientifically correct. And it launches through

51:02

the air straight at that Spidey. Okay.

51:06

Please hit my little guy. I'm gonna do my

51:08

best. Fuck.

51:13

17 points? Yeah, 17 points of damage. A

51:16

thunder damage. Thunder?

51:18

Yeah. 3d8. Do

51:23

I want to be

51:26

me? Yeah. That's

51:30

gonna be a life sick bear, but you made it a thing. That

51:32

sort of implies an AOE. Okay,

51:35

yep. It's

51:38

hard for one person to hear thunder,

51:40

you know? Alright. Alright.

51:45

I didn't think the thing, Dariax, picked the thing. What'd

51:48

I do? Hey,

51:50

you don't believe it's a champ. I

51:53

know. Sick bomb. Well, RGS is fun. Well,

51:56

Dariax roll. So

51:58

you're gonna roll a d20 for me. You're

52:00

gonna pick high or low. Right

52:03

now pick. Three, two,

52:05

one. The

52:08

one time you were on the one side!

52:11

I got it, you're free! Okay,

52:13

okay, okay. It's

52:15

gonna be great, it's going great. You got

52:17

it, good job. You

52:19

send your magic out

52:22

and it seems to like build momentum.

52:24

You can feel it, it crescendos as

52:27

it slams into the wall of

52:29

this spider and you can hear

52:31

it and feel it in the way

52:34

that someone that is

52:36

musically trained can like tap on a table and be like,

52:39

oh I understand the resonance of this thing. It hits

52:42

that like external carapace

52:45

and you can feel in

52:47

the resounding thunder wave within it

52:49

that you've done something to shake it

52:51

at its core. But

52:54

in your zeal, in your moment of

52:56

triumph and your bonding with your buddy,

53:00

your brother, below you,

53:02

below it, is

53:05

also going to take those 17 points of

53:07

thunder damage. Cyrus

53:10

howl. Oh buddy. While

53:13

the spider simply, like you see it

53:16

recoil on itself before

53:18

it starts to stretch back out

53:20

and it's jerky. You

53:24

see its like mouth almost

53:27

gasping. It

53:30

is bloody. You

53:32

only have a sense of that by how much

53:34

its bell has been rung by

53:36

your kids. Your

53:39

brother doesn't look great. Hey,

53:41

everything got okay up there? Sorry,

53:44

no. And

53:46

I'm gonna immediately use my movement to fly

53:48

to Cyrus. Like, wait,

53:50

upbeat, upbeat. Oh, it's already. Baby.

53:55

How much movement do you have? Let's

53:58

get as close as you can. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

54:01

I've got... You weren't holding hands anymore. I got 40 feet

54:03

now. 40 feet. Okay,

54:05

so I'm gonna put you sort of

54:07

over the edge of the bubble. Yeah.

54:12

We're just gonna do that sort

54:14

of here. Yeah. With

54:16

a gentle mental implication that you're only

54:18

20 feet away, even though that's not what we're

54:20

seeing visually. Yeah. I just want

54:22

you to have eyes over the edge of that bubble.

54:25

Please fucking lose all of it. This

54:27

is going great. Okay.

54:30

That is my turn, yeah. That

54:34

is your last one? Nothing

54:39

I can do, yeah. Not

54:42

really. Yeah. Why

54:45

don't you give me... Mm-hmm. ...that I really like about

54:47

welcoming you. Why don't you go ahead

54:49

and give me a wisdom saving throw? Pick

54:52

my best step. Yeah, of course. Are

54:55

you within 10 feet of me? No! No!

54:59

No. Hiya! No.

55:01

Unbelievable. Out of decoy? Uh, yeah.

55:03

Still not gonna do anything. Add

55:06

one. And then subtract one. Oh,

55:08

yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a nine. A

55:11

nine. A nine. You

55:14

fly and, like, the damage done

55:16

to your brother, it's

55:18

hard to shake off the effect.

55:20

You can feel the magic

55:23

of the Spider Queen touching you, but you

55:26

cannot shake the visual of

55:28

all of your friends and your brother. That

55:31

sort of burned, charred,

55:34

corrupted version of them.

55:37

That's what you're facing on the battlefield now. Mm.

55:41

And I think you wonder, without putting anything

55:43

in your heart but what your

55:46

mind might give you as it

55:48

struggles and scrapes together any

55:50

sort of meaning or explanation for

55:53

why what happened happened. Every

55:56

part of you allowed the

55:58

damage to Cyrus. He

56:01

is better to rid yourself

56:03

of the corrupted version of your brother than

56:06

to let him move through the world. We're

56:10

swinging in big and we're swinging for the heart. Did you have something

56:13

to add, my love? Yes, I have rabbit hop. I

56:15

don't think I used my bonus action. And

56:18

that does not provoke an opportunity attack. That was all

56:21

I was going to say. I love you so much. I'm going

56:23

to leave you here for now, but keep that for the future.

56:25

Because I can use that later. And that's what I realized right

56:27

after I interrupted you twice. That's okay. I

56:29

love you and it's perfect. And that's a good thing.

56:31

Thank you, Nathan. No, it's a good

56:33

thing to note and clock and now we're all aware of it.

56:36

So just thinking. Now everyone's aware of my rabbit hop. Yes. And

56:39

we can all keep that on the table for you. So

56:41

you're good. Thank you, sorry. Yeah,

56:43

you're great. Next. Here. Okay.

56:46

So. It's going really good actually.

56:48

I can tell. Okay, so. Stuff

56:51

on the field. I see Cyrus

56:54

looking completely fucked up. But

56:57

I see Dorian can see him. Yeah, I

56:59

saw that Dorian also fucked up

57:01

Cyrus. He didn't mean so, but I

57:03

know he's. He's learning. I

57:06

see more is doing fine because I can see around that dark. I

57:08

can see her, right? You know what? I'm

57:12

going to say that you've got probably an angle on

57:14

part of her. Okay. But you

57:16

see that she's like. She's up and running. She's up and running

57:18

and that she landed a couple blows. She's holding a. A

57:21

nasty drape here. I can see baby boy

57:23

up there. Baby boy. The only person

57:25

I cannot see is. Oh, that sucks.

57:28

So. Okay, sorry. I have to ask lots of questions. No,

57:30

this is great. So, um, the last time I

57:32

spoke to the wild mother, I said, you said. Fear.

57:43

That was the final thing. A little bit of fear

57:45

as she put the wall of wind up

57:48

in front of me. Yeah. I.

57:52

I just want to say out loud. I'll say it to her. You

58:03

sent me here to protect them. You

58:06

found me when I needed

58:08

help, when I needed direction. Let

58:15

me help her and I will

58:17

return to you. I

58:19

will do whatever you ask. But

58:22

let me bring her from these

58:24

offer queen's clutches. Please,

58:28

I will come

58:30

to you. I will protect you

58:33

from whatever it is. Yes,

58:37

mia. Can

58:40

we persuasive check? Not

58:42

my job. Or deception if you're lying.

58:45

Not my job. That's

58:48

hot. And I'm finally

58:50

making you roll, not your best

58:52

thing. Yeah. Great, we did it.

58:56

17 plus 3 is 20. Not

58:58

me. Shut up. No, it

59:00

wasn't because it was cost. Thank God it was

59:02

cost. Did you add your

59:04

bless? No, no, no. It

59:07

doesn't add to the bonus. Yeah, 20.

59:13

You feel something in the wind change.

59:19

And everything gets a little

59:22

still. You

59:24

smell, for the first

59:27

time in a long time, the

59:29

like heady, heavy scent, orchids,

59:34

and plant life and water that

59:37

reminds you of the southern reaches

59:39

of Tal'Dorei, when you

59:41

would move to and from K'Nera. She

59:48

reaches towards you. And

59:50

you feel an opportunity

59:54

and offer on the wind. She

1:00:00

is not speaking to you now Do

1:00:05

you commit yourself to

1:00:08

the Wild Mother fully without

1:00:10

the conversation of What

1:00:14

that might entail And

1:00:20

I will say above the table feel no

1:00:23

obligation to do this I Am

1:00:26

not bullying you into it. So

1:00:29

don't fucking come for me I

1:00:35

Know the Wild Mother to be a No,

1:00:39

she's not fair. No, she is not good, but

1:00:41

no she is not even I Know

1:00:46

her to simply be She Protects

1:00:51

me with nature once not

1:00:54

with these aberrations and these these abominations

1:00:57

are in the world and

1:00:59

I believe that the spider Queen is I Can

1:01:03

just talking my way out of this. I don't know This

1:01:06

is hard. This is inside unless you

1:01:08

are externalizing this across rarest telepathic

1:01:11

bond This is happening entirely within

1:01:13

your future eyes like heart and mind Well, I

1:01:15

was saying it out. Are you saying it was

1:01:17

out loud? I don't know what the part that

1:01:19

you're thinking right now I know Opal is asking

1:01:22

if she can hear me and aren't we all

1:01:24

on telepathic bond Is that a thing? I think

1:01:26

it does what you're on communicate versus? Yeah, what

1:01:28

you like everyone Forgetter

1:01:35

you're gonna damage from having dariacs on

1:01:37

the The

1:01:48

moment you think about the spider

1:01:50

Queen and The

1:01:53

thoughts aberration and abomination

1:01:56

you feel the sense gets

1:01:58

stronger in a grand. But

1:02:01

then you also hear or

1:02:04

think or feel like a

1:02:06

second shoot punching

1:02:08

out of like

1:02:11

long dormant earth as

1:02:13

the spring resumes next

1:02:15

to its friend, sister. Not

1:02:21

yours. That

1:02:25

whatever you think of the spider queen

1:02:28

now, she is the

1:02:31

wild mother is making it clear that

1:02:35

there is a connection between the

1:02:38

prime deities and the ones known as

1:02:40

betrayers. That was action. But

1:02:43

who they are and what they are to

1:02:45

each other is family.

1:02:57

I don't know if I have to make this decision. No, you

1:02:59

don't gotta. You

1:03:03

can do some punches. Yeah. How

1:03:11

far is that jump across from where I am

1:03:13

to the darkness? To

1:03:16

go from here to darkness? Yeah. 20 feet. And

1:03:19

how do I know what my jump is? Is it half my

1:03:21

movement or what is it? Oh god, there's

1:03:23

a little thing on there. Does

1:03:25

it stay on here for me? Oh, what's the like, oh, sex

1:03:29

lapse. Horizontal leap.

1:03:33

It's all weird. Sorry. I have so many questions.

1:03:35

This is so good. And it's a thing. It's

1:03:38

like one of the few things that my brain

1:03:40

doesn't automatically. Yeah, I don't. I don't. I remember

1:03:42

trying to look it up and not even being

1:03:44

able to find it. Yeah. It's

1:03:48

it is something to do with your, it's

1:03:51

like your height time. I'm

1:03:53

going to move like 10 feet on foot before the jump. Yeah,

1:03:55

this is from standing. I

1:03:58

don't think you've got more than 10. feet and standing broad

1:04:01

jump unless you have an ability that allows you

1:04:03

to be very good at jumping. Well I could

1:04:05

spend a key point and jump in my jump. Oh

1:04:07

sure. If I need to. If you spend a key point

1:04:09

you can get there. If I needed to but it sends

1:04:11

me straight into darkness right? Yeah and you'll land in

1:04:14

darkness but you have been like look

1:04:17

you've rolled a very high intelligence check.

1:04:19

We know theater AI is incredibly smart.

1:04:22

I will say that like if

1:04:25

you spend a key point I'll allow

1:04:27

you to make the jump into darkness. You don't

1:04:29

know what has changed inside

1:04:31

of darkness since you left but you

1:04:33

know where the ground is and you

1:04:35

didn't hear or see any sort of

1:04:38

erosion that would suggest that the ground

1:04:40

isn't there. Right right okay so

1:04:43

I will do that. I'm going to

1:04:45

um. How many key points do you have?

1:04:47

Uh I think I have 12

1:04:50

left. Okay yeah yeah spend one. I'm going

1:04:52

to uh spend a

1:04:54

key point. I see that face.

1:04:57

I know that face. Okay so I'm going

1:04:59

to spend one key point and jump across

1:05:01

directly across to where I am and to

1:05:04

in the sort of direction that I feel

1:05:06

like um why am I half acting? It's

1:05:09

a kind of very hard for me not

1:05:11

to think like theater AI without the accent.

1:05:13

It's a part of who she is. Yeah

1:05:16

and then just directly just charge in

1:05:18

the direction that I remember Opal

1:05:20

to be being at. Whatever I

1:05:23

can with arms wide and and

1:05:25

uh telescoping staff out and I

1:05:27

just want to tackle if she's

1:05:29

there. I want to tackle whoever

1:05:32

whatever is there. I would

1:05:34

say uh go ahead and give me

1:05:37

a history check with disadvantage. The

1:05:41

total of 12 you remember the last time Opal

1:05:49

was visible to you while she was standing here. You

1:05:54

didn't hear nor did you see her

1:05:56

slide back okay across the darkness

1:05:58

so you would just run straightforward

1:06:00

there. Is that what you would do? No

1:06:06

I'm just gonna run in the direction that I

1:06:08

jumped which was straight across Just

1:06:11

run across run across the darkness, but still

1:06:13

with my arms out if I can Go

1:06:17

ahead We have to honor

1:06:19

the fact that you are in magical darkness and

1:06:21

the fact that to get to here I

1:06:23

went in that direction. Yes, I would run into a

1:06:25

tree. Okay, um Give

1:06:30

me an extraity saving throw 18

1:06:36

plus was it before? 21

1:06:42

a 21

1:06:45

I will give you a straight shot in this direction, but

1:06:47

you will not like trip and hit the rocks

1:06:50

But I cannot in good conscience Give

1:06:53

you the like straight shot towards no, that's

1:06:55

okay In that you have landed

1:06:57

in the direction you thought she was facing great.

1:07:00

Oh a forward run would move you So

1:07:05

that key point is uh It's

1:07:11

a it is it a bonus action right that that

1:07:13

step of the wind set up the windows bonus action

1:07:15

the bonus action excellent I'm

1:07:20

going to say in my head. No, you don't have

1:07:22

to move her leave you said you ran forward No,

1:07:25

I'm gonna keep it back Because

1:07:30

I change a plan Why

1:07:32

would you say in my head? Huh? Why would you

1:07:34

know to change because I can't see anything I

1:07:38

thought somehow that there would be something right there If

1:07:42

you say no, okay, then

1:07:44

I'm gonna say in my head to

1:07:46

Opal. I am

1:07:48

sorry sister. I Am

1:07:52

going to cast fireball I'm

1:07:54

going to cast it with my Self

1:07:58

as the epicenter which

1:08:01

should get the whole

1:08:03

darkness area plus that spider

1:08:07

and theoretically the other spider,

1:08:09

right? What's the

1:08:11

range on Fireball? 20 foot radius.

1:08:14

Well, does it

1:08:17

hit? It's

1:08:19

gonna hit. Counterspell. I'm

1:08:25

sorry too. You see her begin to cast

1:08:27

a spell. Your

1:08:32

hand moves. You

1:08:34

summon that energy deep within you, the

1:08:37

part that is a jinasi that connects

1:08:39

to fire and

1:08:41

heat, intensity.

1:08:45

And as you reach out to extend it

1:08:47

over your head, knowing full

1:08:49

well that you would catch yourself, probably

1:08:52

Opal and definitely Dorian.

1:08:58

You feel just a little bit of relief

1:09:01

as a cool gust that

1:09:04

turns cold and

1:09:06

sticky, like webbing over your hand.

1:09:10

Counterspell. Opal. Can

1:09:15

I finish my movement then? In

1:09:18

what direction? I would like to go along

1:09:20

the edge to the side out of the darkness.

1:09:24

If I do see those gems with

1:09:26

my movement, it's 50 feet, but I did step of the

1:09:28

wind, so it's 100 technically.

1:09:33

Do I see those? And

1:09:35

I'll get behind that bush if I can.

1:09:38

You wanna get over here? Yeah, just get behind. Find some

1:09:40

cover. Ah,

1:09:42

fair right, there you are. Damn.

1:09:47

Opal's Joss split, she's getting all sorts of crazy

1:09:49

weird. She's a spider and it's scary.

1:09:54

I accept. What? I

1:09:58

don't know what I offered, but I'm glad you informed. He

1:10:00

says it out loud too. You know what I'm saying? I

1:10:03

didn't pay any attention to him. It's

1:10:05

basically incredible. It's very like coded. Yes,

1:10:07

exactly. I didn't know what I have.

1:10:10

I love him very much. He's not, he's fine. I'm

1:10:13

just talking out loud now. All

1:10:16

of you over here, feel

1:10:19

that heady scent that you have not

1:10:21

smelled since the jungle began

1:10:24

to give way to

1:10:26

more manicured grasses and

1:10:29

trees and flowers. And

1:10:33

your darkness is expelled, Opal. Yeah.

1:10:37

You can see her again. Oh,

1:10:39

the whole four benches. Oh, okay.

1:10:42

And that, with

1:10:45

that, something has

1:10:47

been sealed within. And

1:10:52

a coffee, too. Opal.

1:10:56

Do you want to go? Do you want

1:10:58

the spider queen to go? I'll go. Or do you want

1:11:00

Ted to go? Oh, you have

1:11:03

something else? Is it my technical turn or? No,

1:11:05

this is like legendary. Then

1:11:08

Ted can go. Ted can go. So

1:11:10

just so you know, Ted's inside you. Okay.

1:11:13

So are you giving the reins over to

1:11:15

Ted to make a choice? Yeah,

1:11:17

because I trust Ted. Should

1:11:20

I not? Okay. No, I think this is

1:11:23

so fun. You said it. Yeah. We've

1:11:25

allowed people to walk a lot. Yeah, I've allowed people to

1:11:27

walk a lot. I think you are deeply aware of like.

1:11:29

I'd rather anybody go for the spider queen. I'd rather like

1:11:32

to call it y'all. Make hard choices and run with it.

1:11:35

I think the reasoning behind that is. Is

1:11:38

that what it's okay? I think the

1:11:40

reasoning behind that is Opal is kind

1:11:42

of like still trying to figure out what to

1:11:44

do. You know what I mean? Doesn't really know,

1:11:47

really doesn't want the spider queen to go. And

1:11:49

I think that she

1:11:51

understands that Ted's instinct is

1:11:53

to protect her, but said it's still Ted.

1:11:55

It's still a half of her. I had a tequila shot. You

1:11:58

guys, this is fine. It was water. I

1:12:01

think that she knows Ted's heart and like

1:12:05

can also say like Back

1:12:08

me up while I think about something to do Need

1:12:12

insight check before you make this choice That

1:12:16

is a ten You reach

1:12:19

out and what you get back

1:12:21

from ten from Ted as you turn the I

1:12:23

inward with a ten is

1:12:25

that Ted is in full tunnel

1:12:28

vision fight or flight everything

1:12:30

inside of her is bent on keeping

1:12:32

you up and alive and

1:12:35

it feels like when you reach like you

1:12:37

reached out for your sister to say Can

1:12:39

you give me a second? I need to think and

1:12:42

the like feeling you got was like suddenly

1:12:45

holding a leash as a

1:12:47

dog like is Tearing at

1:12:49

some like wants to be let loose on something.

1:12:51

Okay, never mind. I don't think you have a

1:12:53

strong Yeah, no, no, no leaf that Ted's

1:12:56

cool common confidence. All right, no, I never know

1:12:58

you could let her go No, no, it'd be

1:13:00

fun for me. See me, right? So I'm gonna

1:13:02

use one of my mystic our cannon self

1:13:06

And I cast mass suggestion at six levels

1:13:11

I love it here. Do you? obviously,

1:13:15

yeah And

1:13:18

I'm going to say

1:13:20

1:13:32

I mean this isn't This

1:13:35

is gonna be what it is. Probably not um You

1:13:38

1:13:41

get the role first Do

1:13:43

I have to roll? No, everyone does.

1:13:45

Yeah with them saving throw what's

1:13:47

1:13:49

Oh, is it 18? Yeah Remember

1:13:53

1:13:59

to clever what Plus three on the face. Oh, plus plus you!

1:14:01

Is that added in? Yeah, you're

1:14:03

plus. Okay. You're right. It

1:14:06

should be rendered into whatever you're saving for it

1:14:08

currently. I wanted to make sure. Sorry, what's it

1:14:13

for around yet. Yeah. I haven't gone yet. Oh,

off the 18 onto a five. How

1:14:28

did you do? Me to be

1:14:30

fair. Got

1:14:33

my two little bimbos. You feel,

1:14:39

for the first time, your

1:14:43

magic catches, the

1:14:46

areax, and

1:14:49

Dorian, like

1:14:52

flies in your web. Make

1:14:55

your suggestion, Opal. You

1:15:00

get two sentences, so you gotta- I know. Keep it tight,

1:15:02

baby. Can

1:15:05

I give two options in my two sentences? No. It's

1:15:10

not math conversation. It's the focus. No, but two or two

1:15:12

options in one sentence. If I can whittle it down to

1:15:14

one sentence, then I can give you a question. No. Tell

1:15:17

us about the new, where you're me puppet

1:15:19

boy. I love you so much. No.

1:15:27

Got it. Take

1:15:31

care. It

1:15:33

would make the man so happy. Make

1:15:36

out. Make out. As

1:15:38

a bonus action, make out. I cast AO3 at a nice level.

1:15:41

Good night. Oh,

1:15:45

you summoned me now. They

1:15:48

were already here. Opal,

1:15:51

what's up? You

1:15:54

still in there? Do I hear something? What is

1:15:56

that? Is that my friend's voice?

1:15:59

Yeah. It's

1:16:06

tough, right? Because she's... what

1:16:09

percentage would you say Opal is in

1:16:12

herself? Like how

1:16:14

much is... who's the winning? Is it Opal that's winning or

1:16:16

is it the dark thoughts that are winning? Right

1:16:19

now I am happy to say that like

1:16:22

this is Opal casting, the Spider

1:16:24

Queen is giving... Because you've chosen

1:16:26

yourself to do this

1:16:28

thing. It is Opal

1:16:31

casting a spell. But

1:16:38

know that if the Spider Queen doesn't like what you

1:16:40

do, it will get worse.

1:16:53

Just walk away. Go

1:17:02

see... go see Orr. I

1:17:10

trust you. If you're still

1:17:12

in there, I trust you. She

1:17:15

starts putting a T-Lit spell away. I

1:17:18

don't want to do it, I don't want to do it,

1:17:20

I'm gonna take it back. You

1:17:22

can leave him on the battlefield. Do

1:17:25

you want to? Do you want them to

1:17:27

stay? I don't because I don't want to kill him. So

1:17:30

are you doing the most merciful thing you could in this moment?

1:17:33

Opal, you're still in there. And

1:17:36

you have chosen the path

1:17:39

of preservation. Dariax

1:17:44

and Dorian have been with you since the

1:17:46

beginning. They

1:17:48

know your name. They

1:17:50

fought with you to save Ted. And

1:17:54

you know, you

1:17:56

know if they stay, what

1:17:59

will happen. Either you or

1:18:01

him or Ted or

1:18:03

her Go

1:18:10

see Do

1:18:15

we have any kind of like

1:18:17

recompense against this like any kind of checks

1:18:19

or any kind of anything

1:18:22

we can do The

1:18:27

spell last 24 hours Oh 24 hours I

1:18:35

guess they could counter spell it If

1:18:41

you or any of your companions damage

1:18:44

a creature affected by this spell spell

1:18:46

is for that creature Look

1:18:49

if you are hit This goes away Do

1:18:59

any of us know this? Like those of us who did just

1:19:02

nothing Did they just, did she just nothing us? Or do

1:19:04

we have any defense of what a kind of spell is?

1:19:06

Did you say it out loud or in your head? Uh,

1:19:09

I said it out loud. I said it

1:19:12

out loud to the people that are affected by

1:19:14

the spell Everyone

1:19:16

heard it But

1:19:19

you don't feel magically compelled

1:19:22

to action Do we

1:19:24

see anything with Dorian and Dariax? Dariax,

1:19:28

what do you do? I haven't taken my turn yet, so

1:19:30

Yeah She

1:19:35

simply turns Oh

1:19:40

boy Go to work

1:19:44

A strange moment There

1:19:47

is no other effect Mark

1:19:50

off the spell And

1:19:53

we continue to move forward Actually

1:19:55

it doesn't take a spell to fluff it Yeah,

1:19:58

you're right, that's not me This is the

1:20:00

dad that really punctuated it. Yeah. The

1:20:04

full like, hand

1:20:06

is from Housewives. Yeah.

1:20:10

Perfect. Perfect.

1:20:13

Shh. So,

1:20:19

1:20:25

need you to make a strength saving

1:20:27

throw. to hold on to Ted's leash.

1:20:29

Oh boy. Oh

1:20:35

good thing I have a negative one on strength. Oh great. You

1:20:38

have to be a fourteen. Oh!

1:20:42

Oh no! That's

1:20:45

a zero. You held a zero? Impressive.

1:20:50

Didn't think it could happen. There's no zero on the deck. That's

1:20:52

unfortunate. I mean there is, but not in the way that you

1:20:54

think. Yeah. I

1:20:56

let go of that leash. Oh,

1:20:58

this is so cool. Cool. Oh

1:21:07

boy. Who

1:21:12

are you more afraid of being

1:21:15

hit? Farrah. Or

1:21:19

Morgan. This

1:21:21

is a hard day for you. I know that. But

1:21:24

making you pick the targets is the funniest thing I can think

1:21:26

of. Okay, well I just know. I just know

1:21:28

that Farrah Rai is like a tank. I love you

1:21:30

so much. She'll be okay. So

1:21:34

Morgan. I think

1:21:36

she's not doing so well, right? You took like

1:21:39

thirty points of damage? Yeah. So

1:21:42

you choose Morgan. Yeah.

1:21:45

Oh no! Is it some fucking reverse psychology shit?

1:21:48

No, not at all. Like

1:22:27

up to you there's something in her that

1:22:30

goes dark it's like a

1:22:32

shadow instead of trailing behind is leading

1:22:34

up to you and

1:22:37

good day okay

sets of arms the

1:23:29

1:23:31

like little opal essence daggers they're

1:23:35

clearly her hands they're the ones in the middle

1:23:37

of her body and they just don't

1:23:40

want to do this and

1:24:03

and a little faster with that

1:24:05

dark shadow blade and it cuts

1:24:07

across your midsection. You take it.

1:24:10

Oh no, let's do it. It is

1:24:12

two different hits. 21 points of

1:24:15

piercing, of slashing damage. Okay. Third

1:24:20

set of arcs. Cool. Dark,

1:24:24

mottled skin. It's

1:24:26

purple and thickly like something

1:24:28

that died a long time

1:24:30

ago, but hasn't had the

1:24:33

opportunity or moisture or

1:24:36

desire to rot away.

1:24:40

No weapon held. Just

1:24:42

too long of fingertips ending in

1:24:44

points. Grab you at

1:24:46

your shoulders and tear down in a way. For

1:24:51

another 23 points of piercing

1:24:55

damage. And

1:25:02

I need you to make a constitution saving throw.

1:25:08

Come on. Plus

1:25:11

1v4. I

1:25:18

rolled a 2. You can still

1:25:20

get it. You add 47 things. And

1:25:23

I add 1, 3, 8. Wait.

1:25:28

I'm immune to disease. Yeah,

1:25:35

she didn't give you syphilis. I'm

1:25:38

like, you don't have the clap. How

1:25:43

much poison damage is that for each

1:25:45

turn? So

1:25:48

this is the poison condition. The

1:25:50

additional poison damage will kick in later. Oh great.

1:25:52

Which unfortunately I don't get to give you now

1:25:54

with her natural 20. Okay, cool. You're

1:25:57

welcome. I should have rabbit hopped out of the

1:25:59

way. I

1:26:01

should have rabbit hopped out of my way.

1:26:03

I need two constitution saves to maintain,

1:26:05

uh, or yeah. What's

1:26:08

a save? Just a ten for,

1:26:10

or it's a ten and eleven because I

1:26:12

divided the damage. And I get

1:26:15

to use blest of? Yes. Yes,

1:26:17

you do. Alright, that's an eighteen, so it's probably enough. Yep,

1:26:19

you're good, you don't, don't react. Without that, I don't need to

1:26:21

be blest. And that's a five. So

1:26:23

five, ten, and then? Just

1:26:26

roll any number. Eleven. You did

1:26:28

it! As long as it shows up, what a sign.

1:26:31

Morgan, what are you doing? I'm still okay. How are

1:26:33

you still fast? I got it. I'm still standing, Bob.

1:26:35

I feel like it has a

1:26:37

lot of constitution spells. I

1:26:42

feel like it's always easier than I'm experiencing

1:26:44

in this moment and that's sad for me.

1:26:47

Okay. That is

1:26:49

Ted's turn. Opal, you're up. Okay,

1:26:52

I am going to- Here, you're on deck.

1:26:54

Good. Oh, he didn't leave?

1:26:56

I am a turn. He hasn't had his turn yet.

1:26:58

What does that mean? He hasn't gone yet. He

1:27:01

hasn't gone yet. No, I hear

1:27:03

you, but does that mean my spell maybe

1:27:05

didn't work on him? We don't know. You

1:27:07

have no idea. We have no idea. within

1:27:11

six seconds and we're kind of- Yeah, check out, check out,

1:27:13

check out, check out. Okay, okay. Okay.

1:27:16

Okay. Um,

1:27:23

I'm going to walk over to Morgan. She's already

1:27:25

there. You're already there. Okay. Your

1:27:27

body went when Ted took over. Right. So

1:27:29

you're in front of Morgan and you just punched some

1:27:32

holes into her body, yada yada. Okay.

1:27:37

I'm so sorry. I'm

1:27:41

going to very gently, as my bonus

1:27:43

action, just

1:27:46

touch her with the

1:27:48

butt end of my dagger and I'm going to cast

1:27:50

Banishing Smite. A

1:27:53

gentle banishing smite. What does that do?

1:27:56

I just don't want to- I don't want her to die. Yeah.

1:28:00

So I'm gonna hit a creature with a weapon

1:28:02

attack before the spell ends your weapon crackles with

1:28:04

force the attack So

1:28:07

the thing is this spells great, but you have

1:28:09

to hit her first Wait

1:28:16

actually, I don't know if I can use it is

1:28:18

your HP under 50 you can't ask and

1:28:21

she can't answer I think it is

1:28:23

I think it is I think it is I think

1:28:25

it is okay We're gonna you know

1:28:27

how you're gonna get it under 50 you have

1:28:29

to shut her for okay Okay,

1:28:32

so I'm gonna I'm gonna take my the

1:28:34

butt end of my dagger. Mm-hmm, and I'm

1:28:36

gonna hit her behind the knees It's

1:28:39

so crazy that you're in front of her face and you're

1:28:41

like, how do I get the back of her knee? I'm

1:28:55

I good to go or do I have to roll to see if

1:28:57

it hits her? You gotta roll the hit baby. Okay

1:29:01

Do you remember how you're? No,

1:29:05

you're gonna roll d20 plus yet head. We

1:29:08

hit with your dagger That's

1:29:11

just 17 I am a C20 So

1:29:19

I guess what does that mean you

1:29:22

maybe you're gonna die here No,

1:29:25

the banishing might requires you

1:29:27

to have hit right so I

1:29:29

didn't mm-hmm. That's it.

1:29:31

Okay, so that's my bonus action So

1:29:35

you didn't cast banishing smite Oh, I did it

1:29:38

that idea that you like oh you are holding

1:29:40

on to it Great for when you hit her

1:29:42

like cuz you can hold on to this until

1:29:44

it's the next time you hit a creature with

1:29:46

a weapon Attack so now you have a

1:29:48

banishing smite on deck on you Does

1:29:51

that make sense? Uh-huh? Cool.

1:29:53

So this is your new concentration spell that you've got

1:29:56

up and you're like ready to pop off with but

1:29:58

you didn't catch her I didn't.

1:30:01

I didn't. Okay. So

1:30:03

your action was to attempt to tap her with a dagger.

1:30:06

Didn't do it. You did a bad job. I did a bad job

1:30:08

and now I've used my weapon so that means I can't cast a

1:30:10

spell or do a cantrip. I have to use my weapon again. You've

1:30:13

already, like, your bonus action was preparing the

1:30:15

basic smite. So now I have an action

1:30:17

left. Your action was attacking with the dagger.

1:30:19

Oh! Oh! Gross! So

1:30:21

you've used your action, your bonus

1:30:23

action, and you've got movement. I

1:30:26

guess I'm just going to stay right where I am. Okay.

1:30:29

So I just love the idea that, like,

1:30:32

Opal attacked you and

1:30:35

then all of a sudden Opal said, I'm sorry.

1:30:38

Tickle the back of your knee and just is sort of

1:30:40

there. What do you think? Big,

1:30:44

big, big signal. I'm

1:30:48

just a promise under deliver. And

1:30:50

then there's Morgan just bleeding

1:30:53

all over again. Fuck you crazy.

1:30:58

I'm sorry. I've never wanted

1:31:00

to be banished more. I know. And

1:31:02

my entire life. I'm so

1:31:04

sorry. Anything else you want to do? What can I do? Movement

1:31:08

away would potentially occur. No, no, no.

1:31:10

I'm going to say I'm going to say it. Okay. And that is

1:31:12

your turn. Zarya! All

1:31:16

right. So a lot's going down around here. As

1:31:21

the magical influence has attempted to

1:31:23

find me previously, looking about the

1:31:26

battlefield and the chaos that's

1:31:28

ensuing, watching the multi-armed, twice-crowned

1:31:32

over here slicing into one of our friends.

1:31:37

But I trust she's got a plan. I

1:31:40

just kind of shout out everyone. We

1:31:43

got to go. Opal says we got to go. I

1:31:45

trust she knows what she's doing. I'm

1:31:48

going to go ahead and cast, at 7th-level, Mass

1:31:50

Cure Wounds. And a

1:31:53

path just beneath where Dorian is so I

1:31:55

can get you and

1:31:58

Cyrus. Dorian

1:32:02

in it. I

1:32:04

think I'm outside of 30 feet from him, am I?

1:32:06

Oh, I will not

1:32:09

give that to you. Play by

1:32:11

the rules. I'm not

1:32:13

going to play by the rules. You cannot make me. Is

1:32:15

it just a straight line? You

1:32:20

made it! I made it! You made it! Alrighty.

1:32:23

It's a radius. I can choose multiple parts of

1:32:25

the area. That's uh... You

1:32:27

would? Yeah, you

1:32:30

would make it. I

1:32:32

think Fy'rai is just out of it. Am

1:32:34

I out of it? No,

1:32:37

it would also catch Mori. So

1:32:41

23 points of healing to Dorian, Morrigan, and

1:32:43

myself. Oh my gosh. Whoa! And

1:32:49

uh... With that,

1:32:53

I'm also going to start climbing down, and

1:32:55

start moving past Fy'rai with the intent

1:32:57

of just heading off the map that

1:32:59

way over time. Where

1:33:02

are you going? We gotta leave. We're out of

1:33:04

here. I'm just climbing

1:33:06

down. Just slowly making his way down. I'm

1:33:11

finding Orem. Don't worry. We gotta go. That's

1:33:13

my turn. Actually,

1:33:16

as a bonus action, I turn back and be like, We

1:33:18

got this. Give you inspiration, Dai. I

1:33:22

think I already have his Bardic inspiration. I

1:33:24

have two inspirations? No,

1:33:27

you only have one. I didn't

1:33:29

know. I said anyone. I

1:33:32

didn't know any better. You

1:33:35

can't stack more than one to your inspiration.

1:33:37

So the fact that I was like, Another

1:33:39

one! If you didn't have one, it did

1:33:41

something. But you can stack Bardic and...

1:33:44

Bardic is your brain. You can

1:33:46

stack Bardic. Yeah, you get it. You're

1:33:48

good. A D6? D6 for me.

1:33:50

I'm not a cool bird. Yeah.

1:33:54

Oh, buddy. Hey.

1:33:58

People sleep on the recorder, man. I'm

1:34:00

1:35:07

okay. I Will

1:35:11

say though you see a

1:35:13

flicker before like it's

1:35:17

It's almost like if Dariaks had

1:35:20

Any experience with TV where you're like

1:35:23

turn a channel or it like you turn the TV

1:35:25

off and you have that like Old-school

1:35:28

TV that like sort of burned in after

1:35:30

image on the TV You

1:35:32

get a little flash of after image as

1:35:35

you're looking at Opal And

1:35:38

informing Sarah I like hey, here's

1:35:40

a little inspiration we've got this Opal

1:35:42

knows what she's doing as you say that you

1:35:44

feel that little after image of What

1:35:47

Opal actually looks like not

1:35:50

the massive drighter that you saw Different

1:35:54

three sets of arms, but

1:35:56

not as bad as you See

1:36:00

and believe and understand It's

1:36:03

like there's just adding

1:36:05

that second compulsion that bit of enchantment

1:36:07

magic that sits on your mind The

1:36:10

signals are kind of starting to cross and

1:36:13

then it resolves back to the big

1:36:15

spider drighter Situation but

1:36:17

for a minute for a

1:36:19

moment You see things

1:36:21

as they truly are as you continue to climb down

1:36:25

Very confusing, but I'll sleep Buddy

1:36:29

Buddy Okay

1:36:34

Spider I

1:36:36

got this, I got this Poison Live

1:36:40

to find another day A hopeful one at a time

1:36:45

And let's start with Iris I'm

1:36:50

sending someone home Another night

1:36:52

to heal the guy that's gonna do it The

1:37:10

spider digs

1:37:12

in pressing with

1:37:14

multiple sets of legs into

1:37:18

Cyrus's chest and

1:37:20

though he is screaming and howling in pain

1:37:23

from the thunder from being pressed upon by

1:37:25

this massive spider Body

1:37:29

gives way a

1:37:31

set of arms pincers Into

1:37:35

just at the juncture of

1:37:37

his shoulders and his chest the second

1:37:41

Pushes it takes a little longer. There's more

1:37:43

resistance as it pushes between The

1:37:47

bones of his rib cage But

1:37:50

they sink down and you all watch

1:37:53

the spider over Cyrus drops down by

1:37:55

maybe half a foot As

1:37:57

his pincers make it all the way to the ground beneath

1:38:02

and Cyrus stops screaming. That's

1:38:06

all you know. One

1:38:15

hit from the spider and the second

1:38:18

misses. Both

1:38:20

of these spiders turn around

1:38:22

a long ago. The

1:38:25

first one, the one in the front,

1:38:29

swings and hits the second one. Just

1:38:31

a little two days and disoriented

1:38:34

from you spitting in its face

1:38:36

and then absolutely bodying it

1:38:39

with your crystal rapier. 14

1:38:45

points of piercing

1:38:47

damage. As you just get, it

1:38:51

rears back that same like surprise

1:38:53

spider and one of the lower arms,

1:38:55

like you're looking up at the bigger arms and one of

1:38:57

the lower arms like uppercuts you and

1:39:00

finds its way under your rib cage.

1:39:02

Like these things are now like pushing

1:39:04

towards vital organs and you feel it

1:39:06

like pierce in and

1:39:09

pulls back. My

1:39:13

other spider. I'm

1:39:17

trying to make

1:39:19

their way over to the theater. Second

1:39:32

one doesn't make it. You see it booking

1:39:34

towards you, theater eye, and instead it goes

1:39:37

over to the jaw and crushes

1:39:39

them. An

1:39:41

opal. You

1:39:45

don't remember. You

1:39:47

remember deciding

1:39:50

that an opal is your favorite gemstone

1:39:53

one day in Bayreaux. So pretty

1:39:55

and interesting and there's something in the like

1:39:59

that like middle the likeyness of them, they're

1:40:01

a little mysterious in a way that like, just

1:40:04

colored gemstones aren't. The

1:40:07

cloudiness, the thing that's

1:40:09

obscured in them is like a part of it. And

1:40:14

you remember that suddenly, and you're

1:40:17

suddenly aware that you don't remember what you

1:40:19

were called before you chose the name Opal.

1:40:23

There's a 21 hit. Which sure does. Hit

1:40:25

a monk. My

1:40:27

only goal in my life

1:40:29

is to hit a monk once. I finally did it.

1:40:33

You take 11 points of piercing damage.

1:40:36

You're going to negate somehow with

1:40:38

your 96th fix. I hate it here. Monks

1:40:41

are hard and scary. I'm going to do it. I'm

1:40:43

going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm

1:40:45

going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going

1:40:47

to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm

1:40:50

going to do it. I'm going to do it. Monks are hard

1:40:52

and scary. Same thing. This

1:40:56

fighter rears back. And

1:40:59

one of its top arms is going

1:41:01

to push down through your trap at

1:41:05

the top of where your neck meets

1:41:07

your shoulder. Like you feel it

1:41:09

slide past your clavicle as it

1:41:11

reaches for something. The order.

1:41:13

The blood moves. These things.

1:41:17

And I think you know it

1:41:19

because of your connection to the

1:41:22

wild mother suddenly stronger that these

1:41:25

things are abominations, but

1:41:27

they are still based

1:41:30

on things that exist in nature. And

1:41:32

nature knows how nature lives and how

1:41:34

nature does, how nature dies.

1:41:37

And this thing is reaching for vital parts

1:41:39

of you, getting past your

1:41:41

little carapace and seeks to

1:41:43

end you. You

1:41:46

can't have me either. Is it a, it's not a missile. It

1:41:48

can't deflect it. It's not a missile. Sorry.

1:41:51

It's not a range of tact. This thing is right up in your grilly grill. You

1:42:00

also get the cool spider guys in front. Yeah. There's

1:42:04

my one last little stuff for you. Is the

1:42:06

spider that's on top of Cyrus messed up at

1:42:08

all? Or is he totally trapped in

1:42:10

damage from the thunder? I'm

1:42:12

trying to figure out how strong these spiders are, but I

1:42:14

just... You almost ended those

1:42:16

two. You bloody do that. Bloody

1:42:20

is usually DM code for like half the damage. Oh!

1:42:23

You know they're ACs for 15. Yeah, ACs for 15. I

1:42:26

can't read, so... And I can't do math.

1:42:29

Thank God you're pretty. You all

1:42:31

feel... You're all

1:42:33

kind of pretty. Kind

1:42:35

of like different. Oh, and it's the spider. They're

1:42:40

so tall. And precious. Something else

1:42:42

in you. Opal.

1:42:45

Am I up? No, another spider

1:42:47

makes it to another point and pillar

1:42:49

of your personality. Great. And

1:42:51

there's now a stranger inside you and

1:42:53

it's not the spider-clan. Who

1:42:55

is it? It's Dad. You don't know Dad. You

1:42:58

don't know Dad. No. Ooh.

1:43:02

Oh my God. What? The

1:43:05

actual... Excuse me? This has got people

1:43:07

mouth. You've got a people

1:43:09

mouth. I don't like it. I like

1:43:12

it in any way. More buddy appears

1:43:14

on the field and you hear in

1:43:16

your ears, Opal. Good.

1:43:21

You're sending them away. Make

1:43:23

sure they go. Or I'll make sure

1:43:25

they stay gone. As

1:43:27

this massive spider.

1:43:31

And with every step it takes, it seems

1:43:33

to pierce into the stone of this ground

1:43:35

and it leaves

1:43:38

a snail trail as it goes. Poison.

1:43:41

Acid. This thing

1:43:44

actively corrupts where it

1:43:47

is. And

1:43:49

you are suddenly aware, I'm not going to make you roll about

1:43:51

it, because you are the champion of the spider

1:43:53

queen and this is simply known to you. She

1:43:57

is locked behind the divine gate. And

1:44:01

before she had you, this

1:44:04

was one of the strongest shows of force

1:44:07

that she could bring into the world of

1:44:09

Exandria without violating

1:44:11

the wholeness of

1:44:14

that gate. So

1:44:17

essentially she brought in her secondary

1:44:19

closer. A little

1:44:21

bit for you, a lot

1:44:23

of it for you. Keep

1:44:27

going. And

1:44:30

with that, we

1:44:32

come back up and around. Oh

1:44:34

no, Cyrus! Wait,

1:44:39

did you just get the pincers in

1:44:41

it? What's more

1:44:43

interesting, if

1:44:45

I roll there if you do. Fuck

1:44:52

you, I'll do it. Make a

1:44:56

death save with disadvantage. A death save

1:44:58

with disadvantage. No, no, a death save.

1:45:00

A death save with disadvantage. Can you

1:45:05

still heal someone when they're like... 17 and 2.

1:45:07

Thank God it wasn't a 1. Thorin,

1:45:20

I think you know, in

1:45:23

whatever part of you knows your

1:45:25

family like you know yourself, that

1:45:29

Cyrus is dying. Back

1:45:34

up to the top, the

1:45:38

Spider Queen sits

1:45:40

back in your mind. You

1:45:43

know that this would be a time for

1:45:45

her to like exert more influence. And what

1:45:47

you feel from her is sitting

1:45:49

back and watching to see

1:45:51

what you do next. Do

1:45:58

you do or say anything? before

1:46:01

we get back to the top, Morrie will be

1:46:03

at Dorian on

1:46:06

deck. Yeah. I

1:46:08

think she says, I

1:46:14

think you need me more than I need you. Intimidation.

1:46:26

Disadvantage. Can

1:46:28

I use my inspiration? If you want

1:46:30

to, call it in. There you go. Huh?

1:46:33

No, it's just an ability check that you're

1:46:36

rolling flat now. Yeah, the one.

1:46:38

Oh, just one. Yeah, it was going to, yeah.

1:46:40

You negated what was gonna be like rolling it.

1:46:42

God, I gotta go. I gotta go. 9

1:46:52

plus 6 is 15. Yeah. Hmm.

1:46:58

You feel her leaning forward again. I

1:47:02

don't know if that's true. You've

1:47:05

taken everything from me. I have nothing else to live. That's

1:47:09

definitely not true. And

1:47:12

your awareness is pulled

1:47:14

towards Cyrus. There's

1:47:17

the spider. She activates her

1:47:19

actions. She

1:47:22

rears back. The

1:47:24

spider rears back. But what's the difference between them?

1:47:28

Double hits. Hey

1:47:31

Matt, what's the rule on

1:47:33

like death saves when you attack someone

1:47:36

while they're down and it's in melee? Well,

1:47:38

it's advantage on the attack rolls. Yeah, yeah,

1:47:40

okay, okay. Well, I think if it's

1:47:42

in melee, it auto hits. It

1:47:45

does. Does it auto crit? It's in the

1:47:47

auto crits, yes. Yeah, and

1:47:49

a crit would be two death saves. And

1:47:52

that would be because you failed it. That's all three,

1:47:54

yeah? Yeah. That's what I thought. Okay,

1:47:57

cool, thank you. You

1:48:01

are not looking at Cyrus, but

1:48:03

you cannot help but see it.

1:48:06

And you feel it under your

1:48:09

own hands like

1:48:11

it was your daggers and not

1:48:13

the pincers of the Spider Queen's

1:48:15

minions doing it. And

1:48:23

blood rushes up and

1:48:26

then it flows because the heart pushing

1:48:29

it stops. Cyrus

1:48:33

Wyberwind is dead. And

1:48:40

the Spider

1:48:43

Queen leans in. At least they know

1:48:47

it wasn't your fault because you decided to run

1:48:49

your fucking mouth. Who

1:48:57

needs who? And

1:49:02

even through it all, you

1:49:05

cannot help but hear the flight shake

1:49:07

in her voice. Morgan

1:49:16

you're up. I had a plan. I

1:49:19

had a whole plan. Um. Oh.

1:49:26

Give me insight or perception. With

1:49:41

advantage. Um. A fifteen. And

1:49:45

then that's a, yeah, that's

1:49:48

a fifteen. You

1:49:53

feel it? Because the

1:49:56

Goddess you serve is one

1:49:59

of death and death. transition.

1:50:01

You don't see.

1:50:04

You could guess, but you know.

1:50:09

You had. There were six of

1:50:11

you and now there are five. There

1:50:15

is more adaptive feeling and you can

1:50:17

feel like wings

1:50:20

surrounding you and covering you. But

1:50:24

she is hiding more

1:50:27

of the information from

1:50:29

you. It is enough to know that

1:50:31

he is gone. Okay.

1:50:34

Morgan's been watching that like a hawk because that was

1:50:36

going to be her next move. The

1:50:42

spider's still alive. That

1:50:44

killed him? Okay, great. So,

1:50:47

I'm going to roll to attack. I'm

1:50:50

going to rabbit hop. Use my bonus action to rabbit hop. It's

1:50:52

25 feet so I think I can get to the spider, right?

1:50:54

Can I jump up in the air and over

1:50:57

or how does that work? 25 will get

1:50:59

you, like if you angle it

1:51:01

off it will be about here and you'll still have

1:51:03

a little bit more movement to get over. Okay, because

1:51:05

I just don't want to provoke an opportunity attack. No,

1:51:07

your rabbit hop will clear you of your three of

1:51:09

them. Okay, so I want to rabbit hop

1:51:11

down. You rolled so good

1:51:14

on that. Okay, and

1:51:17

then you move all the way over. Yeah, I'm gonna

1:51:19

move all the way over. I'm gonna get

1:51:21

in striking range and I'm gonna roll to

1:51:24

hit. Yeah, I'm

1:51:26

just gonna hit and then I get a blessed

1:51:29

busting, right? Do we ever still blessed or did

1:51:31

you still? Yeah, I'm still blessed. Let me.

1:51:33

Hashtag. Hashtag blessed.

1:51:36

No! Always blessed. Never goes. What is it,

1:51:38

15? Is that? Yeah. What

1:51:40

is it, 15? Is that? Yeah, it's a 15

1:51:42

to hit it. Wait, oh god. Six

1:51:45

plus seven is 13. 13 plus. Blessed.

1:51:49

Plus four. So I hit. You hit.

1:51:51

Okay, so I'm gonna. Do you want to roll both of

1:51:53

your attacks on this? Yes. I'll

1:51:55

roll again. Yeah, do it again. That's

1:51:57

an 11. Plus? Plus? plus

1:52:00

seven so yeah you're right. So I have two

1:52:02

attacks. Yes and they both land. And they both

1:52:04

land. So I'm gonna I'm

1:52:07

gonna I'm sorry I'm like no

1:52:09

I can't. So I'll

1:52:11

roll to hit twice with my

1:52:13

ripier. Okay. Yeah

1:52:17

I think Morgan's just she

1:52:19

like had a whole she's gonna do a

1:52:21

whole thing. Okay so

1:52:24

that's a seven and then

1:52:28

that's an eight and then I get two more because of

1:52:30

my passive divine smite. Right?

1:52:32

Yeah. Yeah. So that's an

1:52:34

eight and

1:52:36

that's a seven. The wrath

1:52:41

you Morgan are

1:52:43

devastated but the

1:52:45

wrath of your God shines

1:52:48

through. Tell me

1:52:50

how you destroy the spider that

1:52:52

destroyed your friend. I

1:52:57

wanted to I

1:52:59

want to start stabbing him it and

1:53:01

never stop. I

1:53:04

just want to fucking I want to kick it

1:53:06

off of him and I

1:53:08

just want to start I don't want to stop until

1:53:10

it's like minced meat. You

1:53:14

kick it and it

1:53:16

rolls off in a

1:53:18

way and exposes that underbelly but

1:53:21

I think before

1:53:24

Cyrus slips off of it you

1:53:27

see where he has run through

1:53:29

in two places and his body

1:53:31

slides away and then you step

1:53:33

and you

1:53:36

destroy this thing. There's

1:53:42

no glory in it. There

1:53:45

is no justice

1:53:47

or revenge but

1:53:51

it is gone. I

1:53:54

watches my. blood

1:54:02

mixes with the spiders and

1:54:06

I stagger up to my feet because I think it

1:54:09

was probably on my knees at this point just fucking

1:54:11

like as close as I can and

1:54:13

I look over to

1:54:15

the dick gems you

1:54:19

said that with all of the heat

1:54:21

damn beautiful and with my

1:54:23

haste I use my second action

1:54:25

to stumble over to the stupid fucking dick and

1:54:29

I grab them in my hands every

1:54:36

other one of these interactions

1:54:41

has come with a

1:54:43

memory specifically triggered

1:54:47

but Morgan I want you to tell me what of

1:54:50

Opal you save can

1:54:54

be anything you

1:54:57

feel it as you grab those gemstones

1:54:59

you feel the parts of her how

1:55:01

many holes like

1:55:04

a tiara cheaply made

1:55:07

where the gemstones fall out battered

1:55:13

you can feel the things missing her

1:55:16

sister's name her

1:55:19

own Morgan

1:55:22

this fight

1:55:25

is cruel and

1:55:27

your God doesn't even want

1:55:30

to stop it but

1:55:33

you can't save it some

1:55:35

part of her I

1:55:46

just want her to know I

1:55:51

want you to know no

1:55:53

matter what you do here you

1:55:57

can always come back No

1:56:00

matter what. I

1:56:04

know you don't mean it. I

1:56:07

know that you will never, ever

1:56:09

be her abomination. You

1:56:12

don't mean to be. This

1:56:24

is bigger than all of us. I'm

1:56:30

sorry. Is

1:56:43

there anything else you wanted to? I

1:56:48

think we're gonna just keep flicking at all the blood. There's

1:56:52

so much blood. And

1:56:54

it's all over the dick, Jones. I

1:56:56

think inspiration. Way

1:57:01

to make a joke through truly the roughest

1:57:03

shit. You gave me inspiration, but I've never

1:57:05

used it. But you have one, and then it rolls

1:57:07

over with other ones. But you have to use it

1:57:10

for free. Please. I'm losing my mind. I

1:57:15

think I did everything I can do. I

1:57:22

have the gems and the blood. And

1:57:26

blackness that Mars. Those

1:57:28

parts of Opal that are left. And

1:57:30

you look down at Cyrus' body. He

1:57:35

was so fucking stupid. One

1:57:38

of the nicest people you have ever met in

1:57:41

your time in Exandria. He

1:57:45

was sincere

1:57:48

in his kindness. And

1:57:52

awful with money. And

1:57:54

truly the worst of cards you would ever see.

1:57:59

You know exactly what you're gonna do. why he got

1:58:01

into the money problem that

1:58:03

sent him toward you. But

1:58:05

you also know, because he

1:58:07

told you, even as he cleaned

1:58:10

him out for the fifth night in

1:58:12

a row, and

1:58:14

he had never had a better time than

1:58:17

getting absolutely fleeced. Another

1:58:20

prettiest card shark he had ever

1:58:22

met. I

1:58:26

actually do have one more thing, because I have more move action, right?

1:58:31

I want to leave. You

1:58:39

turn, and with an intention to

1:58:41

go, as

1:58:44

you turn your back on Ogle,

1:58:47

peeking with you, the Dick Gems,

1:58:51

and the sense that there is some part of her

1:58:53

that the Spider Queen will never take

1:58:55

away from her. You

1:58:58

are joined at your side. By

1:59:01

the spirit of Cyrus. As

1:59:05

your time with the Matron

1:59:07

of Ravens is just beginning, one

1:59:10

of the duties of her chosen is to

1:59:13

escort people home.

1:59:17

And Cyrus will leave with you, if

1:59:20

you go. Do

1:59:25

you leave? I leave. I

1:59:31

leave. I

1:59:39

need to take all the trees with me. I

1:59:43

need to take one tree with you, because

1:59:45

you keep what you kill. Dorian.

1:59:51

Oh God, Dorian, you're up. Yeah.

1:59:56

I'm going to pee. Yeah. I think

1:59:58

you burned it, bud. That's a good time for... It's

2:00:01

a stress piss. Brought

2:00:03

to you by WizKids. The best piss we've talked

2:00:05

about. Here you go. You get it.

2:00:09

Um... Yeah.

2:00:13

Is, uh, am I still, because

2:00:15

of Opal's previous spell for a

2:00:18

while, am I compelled to walk

2:00:20

away as her suggestion command? Yeah. Okay.

2:00:24

Can I buck against it? There's a wizened saving throw? Yeah.

2:00:28

Okay. I'm gonna try. Technically no, but... Technically no?

2:00:31

No, it's only... I would say that

2:00:33

perhaps seeing the death of your brother

2:00:35

counts as taking damage sufficient to

2:00:38

allow you a wisdom saving...

2:00:40

Emotional damage. Emotional damage! What

2:00:44

is the, I mean, what is the rule? I mean, what

2:00:46

is, is it, is it when I, I

2:00:48

take a big hit or... Look at me.

2:00:50

Yeah? The rule's whatever the

2:00:52

fuck I say. I was not questioning you. I was

2:00:55

just curious. No, I know. I know. I'm

2:00:57

not gonna question, and I'm telling those of you out

2:00:59

there that are like, nah, fuck you. That

2:01:01

hurt. Please make a wizened saving throw.

2:01:03

The difficulty is 18. Oh,

2:01:06

wow. You could do it. I could. You

2:01:09

still have life. I'll try. And,

2:01:14

varnigant, inspiration. And, and, DM inspiration.

2:01:16

Yeah, if you haven't used my DA view. No, no, no.

2:01:18

You also still have DM inspiration too. I, I did use

2:01:20

the point. You did use mine. But you still have DM

2:01:22

inspiration. Look at me. Look at my turn. Yeah. I

2:01:25

thought that. You still have DM inspiration if you want to

2:01:27

roll this with advantage. Mm-hmm.

2:01:31

Boy, this

2:01:35

is, this is tough. Tough stuff. That's

2:01:37

a one. Now you rolled advantage though. Yeah, I know. The

2:01:40

DM inspiration. Trash. Okay.

2:01:43

Yeah. So, I guess some.

2:01:46

I think Dorian is so shocked. even

2:02:01

change levels, so he does what he's

2:02:03

told, and he starts

2:02:05

to walk away against his own

2:02:07

will. His feet

2:02:09

move, and he doesn't really feel as

2:02:13

if he's walking, he's just moving through air,

2:02:16

and he can't control his body. I think

2:02:20

he's thought about this

2:02:23

before. I

2:02:25

think when

2:02:28

you only have a sibling, I think you sort

2:02:30

of think about what it would be

2:02:32

like to be without them, and

2:02:34

he's surprised

2:02:37

by his own feelings, and

2:02:41

he feels like he would cry

2:02:43

and break down

2:02:45

and whatever.

2:02:47

And he doesn't do

2:02:50

any of those things, he's just angry,

2:02:55

like angry, angry, pure

2:02:59

sort of anger. That's what. Something

2:03:06

ineffable, indescribable. He

2:03:08

knows this isn't a person's fault

2:03:11

necessarily, maybe. It's

2:03:14

resulting from a person's actions, but this is just

2:03:16

the way things go when you

2:03:18

live a life that's free. So

2:03:21

he just starts to walk. Rule

2:03:25

question, and you see the, can

2:03:28

I do anything as I leave? Like,

2:03:32

are my actions negated in my turn?

2:03:34

Or can I continue to just do

2:03:36

as told? Yeah. You

2:03:39

failed the faith.

2:03:42

Sure. But

2:03:46

I like your anger. You

2:03:50

can do whatever you want as you leave. My

2:03:54

question to you, just the point of clarification on

2:03:56

your way out. Do you leave as a person?

2:04:00

in the direction of Daria? Yeah,

2:04:02

I'm walking in the same path. You say walking

2:04:05

like you're not in the sky. I

2:04:07

imagine him. I am, baby. Like

2:04:09

walking through the sky with the two princess, like

2:04:13

the lighting. Yeah, I'm like

2:04:15

watching him over there. And

2:04:18

he's sort of surveying the

2:04:20

scene, this

2:04:22

seething anger, walking the only direction he

2:04:24

knows how. And as he

2:04:26

does, as he passes over this, I'm

2:04:30

gonna kind of whisper to myself and

2:04:34

whisper at the second

2:04:36

in command that

2:04:38

just was summoned.

2:04:41

What, a self-fighter?

2:04:45

That was just summoned? Hell yeah. Sorry.

2:04:52

I'm gonna cast Seventh Level Gaius.

2:04:56

And just say,

2:05:01
