Tales of Yavon | Pirate | Ep. 5 | Nope Rope

[00:00:00] The following is for mature audiences. Listener discretion is advised. See the description for details. Hey, you're listening to Tales of Yavon. Two D&D tables, one shared world. I'm Sarah, DM of the Pirate Table. And I'm Micah, DM of the Empire Table. This episode is with the Pirate Table. Let's meet the players.

[00:00:20] You all have survived the wild magic storm. You have tied your ship to a broken port, surveyed this shambling once upon a time tent and long forgotten campfire on this small portion of beach.

[00:00:46] And you have made your way up and started walking towards away from the fire that you saw in the distance. The smoke you saw in the distance, I should say. And started making your way along the left side of the island. And about a good 10, 15, maybe 20 minutes goes by with nothing much seeming to happen. You guys are kind of looking out. You're taking it in. It's a lot of mix of a jungle forest on your right.

[00:01:16] A kind of sandy path that you're walking down. Sandy dirt path. And then sand and beach to your left. That kind of goes down a slight incline. And as you keep walking, there is a small rumble under your feet. Lasts for a few seconds. Maybe you don't even pay attention to it. Was that y'all walking or did y'all feel that too? Because I'm tiny, I can't do.

[00:01:45] So, uh, I think, I feel like Phelan definitely would have noticed if she was on the ground. Because she's so tiny. Hell yeah. Yeah, I'm just leaving it up to y'all in case it's something that you would want to comment on. Yes, yes, yes. No rules necessary. Tal is just kind of like looking into the forest as he like skips along and plays his lute. Kind of stringing along, trying to figure out the song that he's been trying to write. And as he just plays, he just looks off into the forest, not really noticing anything other than the beauty that is nature.

[00:02:15] Hell yeah. There are seagulls chirping. There are other birds chirping throughout the trees. There's the brush of wildlife all around. It feels like this island is pretty alive. Tal, as he's standing on the beach with his lack of shoes, kind of, uh, pushing his toes through the sand. Just like soaking up what, what land is like living under the sea for most of his life.

[00:02:39] He's just absolutely amazed by the different textures and colors that are above the, uh, the, the ocean level. And, uh, he's just taking it all in, using it for his musical inspiration. Hell yeah. You are embracing that. You're feeling the sea breeze. You're hearing the ocean sounds and you were feeling, ah, God. You're feeling a little pinch on your toe as a tiny crab comes up and goes. Ow! Come on, man. I'm just trying to chill here. And I kind of do a little jig as I'm shaking him off, continuing to play my lute.

[00:03:09] You little son of a bitch. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Um, I think William is going to, when he feels vibration, go up to the closest tree and try to like put his hand on the tree and see if he can feel the vibration. Yeah. Uh, uh, uh, you rush up to feel it. Mm-hmm. And you catch the tail end echo of it traveling up the bark before it fades. So you know it's not in your head. Okay.

[00:03:35] I'm gonna look at my crew and go, my crew, there's a shiver in this timber. You say that very weird, but yes, uh, island is shaking, yes. Oh, so it wasn't just me. Might I just say, sir, very on brand, shiver me timbers as well. You would hear, you would feel sound better if you were not playing very loudly.

[00:04:01] Oh, sorry. It's just so beautiful. I'm, it's just so inspiring. Mm-hmm. A second crab comes up and bites your other tail. Oh, you little son of a bitch. Hey, does anybody have like a spare pair of shoes? I thought this would be a lot more enjoyable than it actually turned out to be. Vaylin's gonna hold up one clawed, three-fingered foot. I do not wear a shoe. They seem singularly focused on you. My, my toes are especially fat and moist. Gross.

[00:04:31] Hey, your, your giblets are there for the nibbling. Like. Why, why you say this, BM? Oh my God. Mayhaps, uh, where, where shall be the heading, me captain? A excellent question. As I look down and side-eye to Vaylin.

[00:04:58] Vaylin's just gonna tap her little clawed feet, looking up at the sky, uh, slowly make a contact with you again. Be wonderful to know where the heading is. Uh, oh yes, map. And she's going to, uh, flip out several papers from her bag, uh, start rifling through all the maps she has. I need to discover where we are first. Do we need to go higher up?

[00:05:24] Uh, she's going to take off away from everyone else up into the sky. Uh, does she recognize anything? I've been waiting for you to fly. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. I don't like that. I don't like Vaylin, busy saving our lives. Uh, tell me, how high do you go? To try and get a vantage point. As high as she can. And that's 30 feet. Okay. In one turn.

[00:05:53] Uh, in one turn. Okay. So you go about 30 feet. Uh, uh, uh, the island inclines and kind of goes up. There's varied levels of, uh, height. The topography on this kind of jumps around. Um, but the higher you go up, you see to your, to the right of y'all is a huge copse of trees that take over the middle of the island. And then you can see the barest hint of another beach along the other side, uh, where that smoke is coming from. Uh, in the center, you can't really see it from here because again, it's quite a distance

[00:06:23] away, uh, but there seems to be a small clearing within the trees that denotes some sort of place where there are no more trees there. You can't really tell what's going on inside, but it seems like the green grass gives way to like a brown kind of smudge. So maybe there's some sort of settlement there. Maybe there's something else there. You just know that's an area that doesn't have a lot of trees in a circular-ish patch.

[00:06:50] Um, further down to the left, you see more beach and it goes on for a ways. Uh, uh, you see small bits of sand on the outbank, uh, as if there's like smaller, tinier, not exactly islands, but little stretches of five to 10 foot pieces of land out that a little bit farther away from the, uh, shore. Uh, and as it looks further on, you see it all kind of leads up to this big mountainous area that where the mountain meets the ground covered by trees.

[00:07:20] So you can't exactly see what's going on over there. Um, but you see it's quite a distance a ways, but there's not a lot here that denotes people. There doesn't seem to be a lot of, uh, um, I forget the word, but there's not a lot of infrastructure here. It seems like a more natural kind of land. So whatever you saw on that beach you first came up on may have been other people who were

[00:07:44] either exploring the Island however long ago, but it doesn't seem like it's an established port. Hmm. But from this distance, you can't quite see much else further on, but you've managed to break a little bit over the tree line and see that much. Okay. Uh, she's going to do a little spin in the air. You do a little spin in the air. I will say, go ahead and make me a perception check to see if you catch anything noteworthy

[00:08:12] out there while you are head on a swivel on a lookout. Should have rolled the dragon dice. Uh, that was, uh, and kind of as, as Tal's looking up, seeing her fly through, can Tal like kind of look through the forest here, kind of see if he sees, I don't know, any nature or anything of note as he kind of like peers around, you know, strumming his, his lute as he looks through the forest. Yeah. The trees are dense and dark.

[00:08:42] The further deeper you look in, but just checking to see maybe for movement, maybe for animals. It's not like the clearing's gone dead silent or anything. There's still, there's still movement and animals around. So, I mean, everyone knows no matter your level of familiarity with the outside that the second things go quiet, that's when you need to be worried. But right now everything's kind of gently thrumming alive. So yeah, yeah, yeah. You peer through and see if you notice anything out of the ordinary for sure. Go ahead and give me a perception check.

[00:09:10] Uh, how big, so Marwina's looking around and she's looking at this cloud of smoke and she's had her eye on it since we've been heading up the mountain. Um, how big is this cloud of smoke? Like, is it evident that it's been burning for a while? Is it quite large? Is it close in proximity? Mm-hmm. Um, from where you guys are now, it's almost on the complete opposite side of you. Uh, imagine this, uh, uh, island kind of almost oval shaped.

[00:09:40] Okay. You guys started in the bottom left, walked out, saw two kind of directions to go and chose this way. And it's almost the complete opposite side that has that smoke rising up. From this distance where you're at, you can barely see it curling above the treetops, the tiniest wisp, but that's because you're rather short. The trees are very tall and that's barely what you can make out from right now. Um, but I will say, go ahead and make me either a nature or survival check to see just based on that.

[00:10:10] If you can kind of work out backwards, what that could mean. I'm going to do nature. I'm going to do nature. Does Willie shakes over here have any, I think, um, just taking in the scenery, I'm going to be a bit perplexed. Um, the only thing I'm going to do is just pull the hand out. Um, and in a moment to myself, I'm going to look at it and just, I guess maybe look back

[00:10:36] the direction we came and whisper under my breath. Where did you go bubble beard? Um, I don't know what you want to call that. If you want to call that perception on the horizon, if that's even worth it since we came that direction. Uh, I'll give you this. If you want to just do a random percentile role to see if anything happens when you just

[00:11:05] say that going out there, we can do that. Or if you want to be looking out the coast, we can do a perception check to see what you see out there or as you're looking at the hand. Or yeah, if you would like to focus on the hand. Have we like really examined the hand yet? Uh, you guys took a quick look at it, I believe when you got to shore, but you were also kind of shaken from the storm and being in this new place. So if you want to go ahead and really thoroughly investigate this while your crew. Yeah, I'll try it.

[00:11:34] Tal got a 16 kind of looking through the forest. And Phelan used inspiration and got a dirty 20. Dirty 20 on your perception check. Yes. So we got a dirty 20 from above a 16 for through the forest. Okay. We're going to go ahead and deal with you two first while you guys roll yours. Uh, we're going to come to you later, Phelan. First, we're going to do that 16. Uh, 16 wise, you see, again, the forest is pretty alive. Uh, it doesn't seem to be overflowing with fauna.

[00:12:04] In fact, the more you look around, it seems that the noise you hear is lots of slightly bigger things running around, but they don't sound like predators and prey. The more you look, you see big shapes kind of moving through the forest, but one kind of leaps through almost like a frog, but it's the size of a dog. And the further you look in, you see bigger shapes in the distance, but nothing feels

[00:12:33] aggravated or irritated. There's nothing here that denotes aggressive movement. There's just a lot of regular movement at a slightly bigger scale, which is perhaps a little odd, but nothing that twigs you for danger just yet. Hmm. Yeah. With a dirty 20, you notice three things. Hmm. That smoke in the distance is the light of a fire that is currently going, not one that has been snuffed out.

[00:13:02] You can tell that just by the volume and the way it curls and dissipates how strong it is right now. It seems to be a bonfire. So that's a little bit bigger than you maybe initially thought when you were first looking at it from a few miles back. Uh, the second thing you note is that further along the path that you're walking, you see movement up ahead. It's a good 100, 200 feet away. Not enough for you to hear yet, but you see what looks like two figures out on one of those

[00:13:30] smaller pieces of land that has a little bit of water around it before you reach the shore. So there's a small, tiny little piece. You can't quite gauge the distance, but maybe 30, 40 feet away from the shore, there seems to be a small little outcropping of land. There seems to be a figure on it and there is something else moving in the water around it. The third thing you noticed, and this is because of the dirty 20, very far away at the base

[00:13:56] of the mountain, you see the tree shiver and shake in a very big radius. You can't quite judge from this distance exactly how big this would intimate whatever's moving within, but you see a couple trees. To double check to get my bearings. Yes. Oval Island, we are slightly forward, heading towards the middle of the island.

[00:14:26] You are on the left-hand side, heading towards the other end. So you are, if you broke it up into thirds, you're on the first third. And this you see is in the middle third, all the way in the back near the base of the mountain. So it is quite a distance away. So basically on the other side of the island is the giant thing. Yes. So to the right is the bonfire and to the left-

[00:14:52] Tal, while he's kind of just sitting there chilling, he'll walk over to Morwina and our oh-so-gracious captain. And I'll just say, hey guys, just so you know, this island definitely has some pretty big creatures. There's a lot of movement in the trees. They're big. Like big frogs, I think. Big, big hoppy, hoppy things.

[00:15:21] Not good. I don't think. They seem like they're chill right now, though. Duly noted. Large frogs. Are you sure it's large frogs? Where do we get frogs from? Well, I mean, you know, the water, but they hop around, you know, there and nearby areas. But no, they're just large, large hoppy things. Don't look in the other picture. They're large things that hop. I knew a frog folk.

[00:15:51] He was the first captain. My first ship. Shook his hands. He shook mine. I spent a week in infirmary. He had poisonous skin. It was good times. Gotta hate those dart frogs, man. You never know. You think you know a guy? What was his name? Toady. Toady. Oh, God.

[00:16:20] Such a common name. I knew a guy one time. Morena. Remind me, what were you looking for and what did you roll? I rolled a six and it was for nature. For nature? Sure. You were looking at the smoke, correct? Mm-hmm. You can't tell from this far away how big it is, but the fact that these trees are so tall and you can still see it curling, you think maybe it's probably a decently big fire, possibly?

[00:16:51] Or maybe just a really tall fire? Or do you have a lot of experience with fire? Yeah, I didn't think so, so I don't. Yeah, it's very hard to tell. But you rolled nature, correct, with a six? Mm-hmm. You have a deep intrinsic connection with creatures of the sea, first and foremost, but also with just nature, natural creatures in general.

[00:17:17] And the sounds you're hearing around you and the more you look at those little crabs that keep nibbling at Tal's feet, you notice those crabs are way bigger than the ones you've seen. Because they're kind of tiny and, like, yeah, they're bigger and closer up to you, but you notice they seem to be actually baby crabs, but they're the size of adult ones. And they're that far away from shore? No, they're right up on us. They were just nibbling at my feet.

[00:17:46] Yeah, and they're that far away from shore, is what I said. We're still on the shore. We're still on the shore, but just, like, barely. Yeah, you guys are following the beach. Yeah, we're, like, on the line of the trees and the beach going up. Okay. I rolled a 13 on my investigation. On your investigation? You're checking the hand.

[00:18:07] You're not exactly overly familiar with water genasi, but you know enough that this dot in the center, tattoos don't work on genasi. The ink spills inside, and unless it's magical ink that allows it to flow and turn into shapes in their body, on their person, it doesn't stick.

[00:18:34] So the fact that there is one thick, dark dot, and the more you turn it to the side, you see it is completely flat and discular in shape. It's not a sphere. It is a circle. And it rests there in the palm, and it doesn't move, and it doesn't sway, and it doesn't shift even when you press into the skin and on it. It stays there perfectly.

[00:18:59] You're not familiar with magic because you do not like magic, so you tend to disregard magic, if I'm correct in saying so. Yeah. But this screams magic to you. Hmm. I'm going to keep that to myself. Absolutely.

[00:19:20] So, uh, Phelan's going to hover for a moment, uh, twist her little bird head, her little owl head around, taking one more glance, and she's going to take her clawed little foot, reach into her pocket, pull back out that compass, and see if it's changed direction while she's up in the air over the island. That's a very good thing to do.

[00:19:43] So, you watch as the compass spins a few times after popping it open, and then seems to waver and twitch between a couple little places before it seems to fit dead center towards the mountains. Which are between us and the giant thing in the forest. Uh, the giant thing in the forest is between you and the mountains. Hmm, I see. Okay.

[00:20:10] So, whether it's the thing or the mountains themselves, you don't know yet because they are in the same direction. But that is where it's pointing. Hmm. So, she's going to dive back down towards everybody else. And, uh, among fluttering feathers and landing squarely on William's shoulders, uh, she is, she is going to, uh... I think the moment you do that, after the piercing I got earlier, the moment you do that, I'm like,

[00:20:39] Oh my god! The PTSD kicks in. And you can see both hands over both ears just clasp tight. Uh, so he flinches down, and, uh, Phelan follows him with her body, but her head stays squared. Uh, and she's just going to look around at everyone. Uh, I look at the island. I don't know where we are yet. We can find out if we go to mountaintop. Uh, maybe.

[00:21:08] I'm not sure if this island discovered. Uh, but I think compass track magic. And it points at either mountain or huge creature between us and mountain. I cannot see creature. It is gigantic. Um, it shakes three. Anyway, um, there is bonfire on right, if we want to find people.

[00:21:34] And maybe someone waiting for us on left, but they are being circled by something. What do we do? First and foremost, we need to get a bearing of where we are. And for that, we need people. I vote we go towards the smoke. I don't like people. Why don't we use mountain and navigation? Anyways, I guess people, you are Captain Morwina? You have opinion?

[00:22:02] I'm willing to do whatever you guys are willing to do. Oh, very helpful, yes. Uh, I like them. I think we should go towards the mountain. I think you're the one that actually saw it and you think we should go to the mountain. I say we go to the mountain, man. I think we risk being squished by creature, but the navigation on mountain is good and I can fly over creature probably. You guys are fucked though. Oh, it's good to know that you'll be safe.

[00:22:31] Yes, I hope you guys don't get eaten if we go to mountain. You know, I'm sure that whatever this creature is, is willing to hear reason. Come on, Captain. I say we charge right in. You lead the charge, huh? And I'll kind of slap him in the back. Perhaps we should see what Bubba Beat has to say. I'm going to look down at my hands and see the hands casually pointing towards the mountain and be, damn it. I think that's pretty rock solid, don't you say, Captain? So Captain and the compass point towards the mountain. Oh, right.

[00:23:01] Lead on. Okay. And she's going to take off ahead of everybody else in the air. So y'all head just to understand. Towards the mountain. Towards the mountain. And the creature. Okay. So if you're heading towards where that disturbance was, are you going inside the jungle? Yeah. Or are you following along the shore first? So there's a path along the shore that it zigzags. That was just my shaky hand. It just goes kind of straight across. Yes.

[00:23:31] The bottom left is where you guys left the ship. And then that split decision on where to go. And y'all went down the left side rather than going towards the right hand side. Mm. I see. And does the path lead to the mountains? Yeah. The mountains cover the whole other end. Okay. So either side, if we go around or if we go through, we're going to get there eventually. Come on, guys. I say name of adventure. Through the forest. Like this. And he'll charge right in. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun.

[00:24:00] So the rest of us are standing here while he's sprinting off to the forest. totally quiet. as he goes away, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. So the family is going to watch him for a moment and then just kind of duck her little head down just a teensy bit, making Will flinch again because she's right next to his ear that he's still probably covering. Mm hmm. No, he hasn't let go. He's holding them like with like the handles of a motorcycle is how he's holding his ears right

[00:24:25] now covering them can probably still hear her though because she's right there she's just you know i think ivy it has spirit but uh path is probably safer since i was wondering there's a path right here isn't there why does he go right into the jungle he is not smart do you think he has ever once been on dry land should we are we obligated to i mean if we want to bring him back

[00:24:52] to ship probably stop him oh shit with them right right can you cast a message or is it only me you tell me no you tell me how far do you want to go without your team around you dude i i think tal has never seen dry land before he is amped there were like he he's seen you know the port he's seen wherever his dad has taken him on our diplomatic missions but it's always been the same thing it's always been you know very prim and proper we're gonna go have a very elegant dinner

[00:25:22] we're gonna go speak to a bunch of you know high-ranking officials and it's all gonna be very formal no matter where we go all very formal you're stressing our dm out just for the audience uh our dm is grinning and uh trying very hard i'm guessing not to laugh just just now in case we need to bail out how does this earring of message work and can i use it to try to communicate with him

[00:25:48] you can use the message spell um until i go to sleep this is above table and it's gonna be entirely up to you if you ever actually explain this to me until then i'm not doing diddly squat um so you can choose to open up a communication with someone of your choosing and you can see what range are tell us how phelan tells whispers this into his ear this part of the

[00:26:12] close and while you're figuring that out tal i want you to tell me right here and right now oh god how many feet do you go in the forest alone uh i would say that i am just completely trusting in my compatriots that i have backup right behind me so i charge in thinking that i've got the

[00:26:39] heroes gallery behind me i'm like this is just so fantastic completely and all and as i kind of get like you know my my first turn i'm probably like 10 seconds out maybe 30 40 feet i kind of like look back and realize that there's nobody behind me and as i kind of look through the forest going backwards am i am i able to still see the beach or is it like getting kind of dark at

[00:27:09] this point it's dark at this point but you can see the blue behind you that denotes outside the forest while further in is just more forest are you being stealthy at all i say as you blast your guitar running through the forest i was playing very loud at the beginning but then i'd say like the last probably 5-10 feet it's kind of like faded off as i like realized i'm like i don't think i hear

[00:27:35] any footsteps behind me and then i like slowly i'm like probably 30 40 feet away okay so it's still not it's not bad it's like two car lengths yeah so i like start yeah i like start i like realize that there's not feet behind me after i'm like you know a few car lengths into this into this uh into this forest and then i like stop and i kind of look backwards okay okay because i mean think about it we have a we have up to 30 feet movement so like think about that that's like you running for

[00:28:03] for 30 feet that's like 10 seconds you're like running for 10 seconds you're gonna look back and be like and then you glance over your shoulder and your whole team is just standing there awkwardly watching you you can barely make out his form at this distance just with how like dense the trees get in this part of the forest um but you notice the second his form goes from actually tell me what's your ac um my ac yes uh my ac is 15 but if there's something attacking me it's 400 no

[00:28:33] yeah dm why are you asking me that um you tell me who would be watching him go further into the forest uh i think phelan kind of like passively watched him for a moment but then suddenly just swiveled to the path that we're fixing to take potentially without him so is anyone looking at him as he ran in i need to know did you ever explain

[00:28:57] to me what this earring is like in character no no she just jabbed you with it and caressed your face and said you do a very good job and then like left i'm gonna assume that there's something in this that can kind of understand my intentions because i think in in the deep part of my brain i'm going man i really need to talk to him and this little earring is going to start to glow but i can't really tell and so i'm going to try to scream but it's also going to just be messaged directly

[00:29:25] into tau's mind so you're it's going to be just like me screaming in your head hey oh and as i kind of like stop playing i like slowly start turning happens after go for it after okay so explain to me how this goes down dm all right so you were standing there and between one breath and the next there is

[00:29:51] a weight on you as you are constricted by a long heavy sinuous form that drops from the tree above you onto you quickly wrapping around you and grappling you

[00:30:11] if i need you to make a save first let's see what is the save for grappled it just it just tells me the dc it doesn't say if it's like a strength or a dex do you know what the ruling is on that uh i think it's new now i think grappling it you technically only have to have the um the perpetrators uh role

[00:30:37] versus uh i want to say it's a base thing but usually in the old rules if you'd rather do that because it's more fun um it's acrobatics or athletics against against the dc yeah yeah okay got you got you got you go ahead and roll me either athletics or acrobatics as you take oh shit and uh heroic inspiration i didn't give you those dice i know this is the second world mike wait wait

[00:31:07] thank you you take 11 bludgeoning damage wait even if i succeed this i take 11 either way it is an attack that has the grappling effect to it okay not not much better but that's a 14 and you are grappled oh hey hey can you still hear me

[00:31:32] now you may so yeah so like way too late i mean it's wrapped like five times there's like a hundred pound of snake that's just crushing his body form oh my god and after it's like wrapped him the fourth time i go wait tell there's a snake look out oh god is that you everyone roll me initiative

[00:31:59] oh i like these new dice oh yeah there we go that's a soft 20 for for uh towel okay okay so 19 for phelan are you ready for the rogue it's a 25 hell yeah okay you will keep hold of your numbers and then i'm gonna go around and ask who was the

[00:32:26] most and then we're gonna go and i'm gonna write it down on the list okay oh my gosh uh it got a surprise round on you because unaware weren't looking where you're going being very loud not stealthy so that was the whole deal it rolled a nat 20 fuck on its stealth and then i rolled really high on the hit so it thankfully was not a crit hit but it you had no chance of noticing it was that

[00:32:52] like was that a bite that he did or was that just the sheer weight of the snake that was i'm gonna play it as it was the sheer weight of it dropping and then constricting on him but as the constrict melee weapon attack it does do damage and then has the chance to grapple oh man yes you're getting

[00:33:11] popped like a tube okay someone someone should have told you tal everything on lamb tries to kill you oh why do i hear you now while this is happening in my head too i'm going wait why can i hear you what is happening right now i don't know i hear religion happens at weird times god we're having this

[00:33:40] full-blown conversation and every time i communicate back with him i'm blowing another charge wait this earring so i they both noticed something i'm assuming but phelan's like looking in a different direction she just like slowly turns her head back like casually like what's taking that idiot so long to come back she you just flopped around gained like 30 40 pounds of snake

[00:34:07] but can we like actually see him through the trees or is it his shadowed figure has gained a lot more mass and you heard him from that distance go ah so she's gonna watch you can put two and two together if you would like but you can misconstrue it if you'd like hmm i think idiot is being attacked we should

[00:34:29] probably help all right okay initiative who has the highest i got a 25 i'm a rogue so it's gonna go around the table like this there's soft 20 i could tell you've had the lowest yeah okay okay that is awesome for me because that's gonna let me just look at you guys what is yours

[00:34:54] exactly uh 19 19 19 okay and marina nine nine okay all right for now let the fun begin okay top of the round yes the forest has quieted in the wake of an aggressive action by one of its denizens and the scream towel lets out sends the birds away

[00:35:22] sends whatever little critters were running around away you guys are in a pocket of quiet now well yes you are per towels distinction 40 feet away so you can see vaguely in the distance where he is and that something is wrapped around him that is not a problem all right um uh

[00:35:50] a grin comes over my face for probably the first time that you've actually seen me and uh first thing i'm going to do with my free action is very carefully and inappropriately stow away the hand to make sure that doesn't fall out of my pocket okay and then i draw out a short sword and cutlass an anime run as i bonus action dash naruto um and with

[00:36:19] 35 feet of movement that gives me 70 feet of movement oh yeah so uh 40 feet to get right up on him absolutely and i am immediately gonna start slashing the first first is gonna be with my uh short sword let's say actually i don't think it really matters uh i get to roll to attack and

[00:36:39] let's see i'm not sure if the first one will hit that was an 11 uh it does not okay first one does not hit second one might that's a 23 absolutely it does okay uh 23 to hit let me do the math here he's next to me well it doesn't matter never mind because i am a swashbuckling rogues i get sneak

[00:37:02] attack on this um so it's a d6 plus 2d6 for sneak attack um not to interrupt or anything but uh phelan was on will's shoulder does she ride him like into battle i didn't i didn't know that oh she does that does that take away my movement speed okay i'm so sorry will i uh i'm gonna say i mean i can i can

[00:37:28] just say that she fell off when he started sprinting away i'll allow that to happen or if you want to stay on his shoulder strength saving throw to see if she stays don't say strength i'm a i mean okay but will if you were planning to do something and you knew you needed to be fast you could have just brushed her off your shoulders that would have been a free act i feel like it would you would have gotten the memo when i was putting the hand away and then pulled out two swords so i'll allow

[00:37:55] you to have decided either to grip on to him and ride him out into battle or have let go i think she would have known what you were doing but she wouldn't hop off unless you brushed her off yeah okay i brushed you off i'm a retcon i would have rushed you off i would have immediately tried to run she is supremely offended she hops up with her feathers ruffled and slowly floats down to the floor still not not knowing what i'm doing i'm just gonna run off screaming because i don't realize this

[00:38:24] message thing works and i'm just gonna be like i'm sorry love um but that was 13 points of slashing damage let's go and because of my rankish ability uh i said that wrongly on purpose uh i am going to then use the rest of my movement feed to run back away so i am now 25 feet away from the snake okay

[00:38:52] back towards where you came from or do you head in a different direction 25 feet away probably back where i came from i feel like uh where i came where i'd know uh i already had traveled and that'll be my turn all right fantastic tal um so tal just kind of sitting here struggling as of now um question if i wanted to try and break out of the grapple um what would that cost me

[00:39:21] uh now let's see the condition that'd be disengage right that'd be disengage action i'm trying to see i think breaking grapple is the same uh but is it like because it doesn't say it happens like the target can try again at the end of their turn so would it eat his action oh yeah usually it eats an action if you're breaking it i mean depending on how you want

[00:39:47] to roll it you can maybe say it's an attack to try to break the grapple but if he's got the restrained condition right yes i think you're only going to be able to break the grapple unless you have something that like magically that doesn't require the thematic parts you might be able to do that okay um let's see yeah i think a creature can't take actions or reactions so it would burn your action to attempt to get out of the grapple okay that would be what you would yeah um let me

[00:40:16] so i'm going to as a bonus action as i'm struggling i'm going to say uh your mother was a worm and i'm going to cast i'm going to use my unsettling words i'm going to use my last use of uh bardic inspiration to do a uh one sec you can and so one d6 and then they're going to uh subtract that from any saving throws they make before the start of my next turn they're going to subtract one from their next saving

[00:40:46] throw okay uh and then i'm going to use my action to attempt to bust out of this thing and get free all right go ahead and roll either athletics or acrobatics okay big money no whammies big money no whammies

[00:41:06] oh nat 20 and i'm going to i will say because it is a nat 20 you tell me how you break out of this grapple and if you'd like you can attempt to hurt it on its way out on your way up uh okay i'm going to like kind of like wrestle with it until like i'm kind of on my feet and perched and then once i have

[00:41:31] the leverage on my legs like my weight on my legs i want to pounce and jump clean out of the restraint like straight up through the coils of the snake and then as i'm like coming back down i like acrobatically jump through and as i come back down i whack it with my loot hell yeah okay uh go ahead and roll

[00:41:53] a d20 to see if you hit oh yes uh that is a do we want to just treat this like unarmed or do we want to do like my short sword yeah we'll go ahead and do like a blunt unarmed kind of damage okay so that'll be unless the loot actually has like a actual stat block for her i don't think it does but i can check after this yeah right now we'll roll with unarmed and then we can see later yeah sounds good so that's

[00:42:17] a 21 to hit absolutely it hits and that's four damage let's go four damage nice nice nice and then now that i'm out i want to get the heck away from it so i want to take all my movement to try and i'm getting out of here okay and remind me when you went away it's part of your rogue action that it can't hit you they can't make an opportunity to attack so it's going to make an opportunity to attack against you totally fine got you got you got you all right let's see and uh it is just trying to bite

[00:42:46] you really quickly as you reach the 10 foot of its range uh does a 14 hit you no it does not it lunges and you just swoop out of the way as it just fangs barely grasp your silken hair before it just slides through and you are gone oh shit and i get like you know just 10 feet away from the tree lines holy shit that was close nice very very very nice i love the idea of you just squinch

[00:43:13] down really quick and while it's slowly like cartoon like the coils of itself kind of fall in you just get out of there before it tightens oh yeah and uh with that being said that's that's into turn action bonus action i'm done awesome awesome awesome remember how far away you are for me okay uh okay phelan you are up okay so i was going to do something while he was grappled but since he

[00:43:39] escaped um phelan is going to teleport to him and she's going to call cast ray of frost on the snake hell yeah okay you'd be 30 feet away from the snake mm-hmm that's plenty okay cool plenty and it is a ranged spell attack nine plus okay so that's a 15 15 hits hell yeah that is

[00:44:10] now tell me what does it look like when you cast ray of frost on this snake so uh a pop and a flash of light and she is on top of uh her bard's shoulders and rears her wings back flaps them forward and on the flat forward it is a gust of blue magic and icicles

[00:44:36] and uh slows this snake hopefully okay that is a six damage six damage okay and does this does it do anything else the spell yes it reduces their uh speed by 10 feet nice okay and how long does that last uh until the start of my next turn okay gotcha gotcha uh yeah you watch

[00:45:03] those icicles and that frost sink into its scales and then it and its sinewy movement gets reduced to a jagged juddering kind of start stop she's gonna shiver her feathers are gonna do a little wave i hate the snakes all right it is now the snake's turn seeing that there are much more prey around it than there was before and the one it had gotta worry

[00:45:31] it is going to reassess phelan how far away are you from it um the same distance as uh what is your towel towel i keep forgetting how far away are you from the snake towel uh so i would be 30 feet i use all of my movement to gtf out of there you use all your movement to run

[00:45:53] away and in a breath you looking right behind you that snake is going to as it stops 20 feet away because of its reduced speed but you are still within 10 feet of it and it launch it rears back and launches its head forward towards phelan phelan does a 23 hit you absolutely it does all right

[00:46:17] you take 12 piercing damage as its fangs pierce into your right wing and screeches and bats her little wings now i feel bad tal you're getting smacked with feathers by the way

[00:46:43] it pulls back coils in on itself head on a swivel as it looks between the three assailants that have now interrupted its meal that is its turn morwena morwina what do you do so um how far away am i like feet wise i would say since you were outside the tree line with the rest of them when this started you're about

[00:47:09] 40 feet away from them except they have moved about 40 feet back towards the tree line correct yeah they'd be pretty close i would be about 15 feet away i think but they're 10 feet from where we started then i would say you are 10 feet 10 feet away from me and um me and so with a 20 with a 10 feet range you're 20 feet from the snake yes thank you you're 20 feet away from the snake yeah so you got plenty of range for everything that you can do spell wise i think okay

[00:47:39] uh can i run up for like full speed and then just try to like get on top of this um snake and wrangle it pretty much and pull out my sword burst as my action to like you know pull a whole harry potter like let me stab you in the temple so you want to use your sword burst yes when you sword burst yeah all right now sword burst is that uh melee or is that ranged that's a range so i want to run up first

[00:48:06] so i want to use movement first because i have 30 feet of movement so i want to run up and then i'm going to jump on the snake so i guess do you want me to roll for that so i will let you know uh if you're using a ranged attack being in melee with it would make it disadvantage yeah and sword burst is something different if you click on sword burst it'll tell you um you create a momentary circle of spectral blades that sweep around you so everything within a five foot yeah so if i ran up on the

[00:48:33] creature and then did sword burst wouldn't that be melee range yeah you could run up within five feet of it and cast it and then that would just be a dexterity save for the snake that's what i want to do okay gotcha so you run up battle war cry with your sword out and then suddenly a whole bunch of spectral swords show up as you get in distance awesome what does it look like when your sword burst activates as you get right in this thing's face do i tell you or do i roll what am i supposed to do

[00:49:02] well how does it look yeah i'm just supposed to tell y'all how like how do you want it to look uh yeah just flavor wise how does it look but is it a roll to attack or is it just that it's there it's a dex save for you it's a dex save for the snake got you got you also when it's a dex save then i just pretty much explain what it's going to do yeah yeah absolutely that's where i was confused yeah dex save 14 and then minus one from whatever the save whatever you roll so i'm gonna run up on

[00:49:28] the state is the snake and then in midair i'm just gonna like pretty much open up my cloak and then you're just gonna see all these knives come out and then they'll circulate around me and they'll be spinning ready to pretty much penetrate what's ever in front of them got you okay it did make the save however what does it do when it makes the save does it take half damage oh usually it's half damage

[00:49:50] one set otherwise it doesn't say anything i have i actually have it here so it's um no it is a dex save take one or take one d6 force damage on a fail it doesn't say anything about a save so no damage on save no damage but it is a continuous thing that you're doing while it's still in range correct it's just something that's up and instantaneous yeah just instantaneous yeah so it only lasts for that turn

[00:50:16] got you uh uh describe to me go you said what it looked like uh uh uh your knives come out is this the first time you've used this spell from how it's overween it yeah from the outcome yes it definitely seems that way you let it loose and on accident the hilt hits every one of the knives the hilt hits the

[00:50:41] snake and doesn't do any damage to it and just kind of pokes it around oh come on oh that was your action you have bonus action you still have some movement i will say in this round the snake has already used its reaction so you could use your movement to get away or if you have a bonus action to do something you still have that i'm gonna pull out my shadow blade which is a bonus action uh you weave together threads of a shadow to create a sword of solidified gloom in your hand

[00:51:10] this magic sword lasts until this spell ends it counts as a simple melee weapon with which you are proficient it deals 2d8 physic damage on a hit and has the finesse light and throne properties ranging from 20 out of 60. all right so the spectral shivs disappear and then you just go ah shit and pull out a shadow blade from nothing and just hold it tight maybe this will do the trick

[00:51:39] yeah also is this snake in dim light um no with the light coming through the canopy of trees it's still it's kind of still broad daylight broad daylight okay cool you're not deep enough into the woods for it to be dim light it was just from the tree line it was hard to see in but in here it's easy to see in front of you and dim light and darkness with that blade you get advantage okay so use it in the dark okay all right so i pretty much pull that out to attack the snake to try to attack the snake

[00:52:09] you gotcha gotcha oh wait do you get an attack with that for a bonus action for future action for future action yeah all right okay hmm no no i already moved i moved at the beginning of my turn yeah uh top of the round a lot of stuff happening behind the dm screen i know right i don't like it no she's our dm is

[00:52:34] furiously scribbling and uh there is a rustle above a nearby tree as another snake slithers down and joins combat well is it the same size yes and both are huge it hisses but it doesn't hide from you so will it's top of the round it's your turn a second snake is entered

[00:53:03] to combat which one would i be closer to uh you are closer to the one that you've already attacked this other one came down from a tree a little farther in and his head and it looks like it's about to head towards you guys so it's about it's about 30 feet away because it's dropped where the other one was okay um i'm gonna continue at the one that i've already attacked and

[00:53:28] as i run towards with my blades i'm gonna look at the rest of my crew and go we're going to have a serious conversation about the capabilities of this crew when we finish uh and i will take my two sword attacks uh and first one definitely misses the second one is a 25 to hit 25 hits what was the first one that died so it was an eight i'm assuming okay yes that does that does it it's it's armor class isn't

[00:53:57] too tall that's why i'll double check yeah it was almost a natural one so i'm just like got you um okay i had a five plus one do the math 12 plus four 16 slashing damage let's go uh as i again kind of miss with the first one uh but kind of trail its eyes with the blade that misses and then take a large

[00:54:23] slash with the second the moment that i do that i again get the ability to run away without triggering is there a tree within 15 feet of me yes uh i'm gonna expend all of my movement to get to that tree and i would like to bonus action hide behind the tree uh away from the other snakes hell yeah uh now you're close to the tree line are you heading like towards the right or to the left because any further

[00:54:49] back and you're back onto the beach and any further forward you're towards the other snake well so okay so the other snake is further away from the beach line um i would say i'm going either left or right as opposed to backwards or forwards to wherever the closest tree is there's a lot of trees here so you get your pick of whether you would like to go left or right i'm gonna go to the left hell yeah you go towards the left how just keep in mind how many feet away you are okay i'm gonna say full 15

[00:55:17] full 15 hell yeah gotta stop saying hell yeah and uh do you want me to roll stealth yes okay that's not my best role but i'll take it it's a 15 for stealth okay you keep track of that number for me 15 for stealth love it uh is that your turn that's my turn awesome okay snake number two sees tiny morsel

[00:55:42] tiny morsel all up on its friend kind of hurt big thing kind of hurt tiny morsel and it is going to slither up and around onto the other side of tau and phelan to where it's uh basically if it was a grid there'd be one in front of you guys and one to the left of you so behind you and to the right are

[00:56:08] still open free spaces uh and it is going to try and attack phelan because again small eagle easily swallowable portion that is already hurt tasty chicken and it is rolling really well uh does a 21 hit you absolutely it does okay and you take 10 points of damage uh oh that's my bad they

[00:56:33] are uh uh 10 feet away from you guys so there is a space in between it reared back and shot its head out to attack and then went back to its space so both of them there's a five foot space i hate to do it to them yeah and by um i mean me um okay don't you have advantage like as well uh because you're flanking uh does flanking count for animals that don't have like pack tactics that's up to you we had

[00:56:58] it as a homebrew rule that that flanking is flanking do you want to roll and see if you have crit i say knowing okay you may kill me we will we will just to see did not crit okay thank god all right uh that is the snake's turn so next up is tau okay so i am going to um look over at my captain who

[00:57:27] i assume from this side i can see even though he's hiding from the snake that's your call i i just said i'm hiding yeah he did just say he's hiding you know he went in that direction okay so he's facing away from me then he's like a tree over here like facing the opposite direction or he's just hidden that well to your left okay uh because you said you're going to the left correct yeah he would be towards your left you know he went that direction if you peek out real quick you don't see him immediately so basically we watch our captain strike a few times and then run away and then uh

[00:57:56] i am hanging on by a thread from your back uh screeching and bleeding and flying feathers everywhere and uh you are uh in between two gigantic snakes i mean i'm still not within melee range though because i ran away right i am on your shoulder and we are surrounded by snakes 10 feet away they are in melee range with you you are not in melee range with them unless you have a 10-foot reach okay cool uh in that they followed after you and they're right next to each other then uh they are they

[00:58:25] are catty corner to each other so if you've got something that can hit in a cone or hit in a range or if you want to try and maneuver around to get in the line they're set up for it i'm gonna i'm gonna going to kind of pull my loot around and i'm gonna say you guys should go back in where you came from you don't want to mess with us as i play the loot and i will cast uh cloud of daggers right in between

[00:58:49] both of them let's go yes and that'll be uh i'm gonna be stick their own rules here and i'm not trying just to be honest it's only five foot radius are they within five feet of each other would he be immediately five foot caddy yeah i asked her okay we're right this one make sure yes yes yes that's why i specifically asked it that way i didn't want to say are they within five feet of each other you can say that i'm not gonna punish you for that because again we don't have a physical board

[00:59:19] for you guys to see and judge for yourselves so i'm not going to be like oh you're trying to set up for something it's screw you you don't get to do it no it's d6s yeah it's uh four d6 oh no my bad i was oh okay sorry i'm no no no no no i wasn't trying to call you out but i'm like no thank you for doing that because that's a lot higher than d4 that used to be my favorite spell and in the 2014 and when when i saw these d6s i'm like oh my god it's so much more powerful now i am so sorry no that is

[00:59:48] 100 me oh my gosh that would have been it was still terrible because i rolled four ones and a two but of course uh that is even worse somehow three ones and a two oh man yeah so that's uh that's five damage for both okay okay okay five damage for both and they just take that there's no save or anything right uh there's no save or anything and also yeah it's concentration uh up to one minute

[01:00:16] i have no bonus actions so i am going to take my chances i will remind you you do have potions on you if you want to drink one it's a bonus action i believe or if you want to give it to someone else i'll say that that could be a free action or if you want to pour it in someone else's math mouth that will be a bonus you want to baby bird it uh so i have this i have this bird on my shoulder

[01:00:45] so i'm going to don't worry i got you i'll do it like your people do and i'll and then oh and then i'll grab the bird that's still on me and turn her upside down baby bird it great idea captain you just hear like a whisper in the tree line baby bird it you don't see where it came from phalan is dazed and bleeding and scared and shaking and uh all of

[01:01:11] a sudden she's being manhandled by the person she thought would protect her and uh yeah tal you have to record another trigger warning john so what is she doing for that uh you say you're healing are you resisting i guess no she is she is bloodied and injured and scared and so that is going to be i'm going to roll these two actually because those did not do me where those reputable because i kind of got

[01:01:37] the sense that when we got those there's a 50 50 chance that they thank you for reminding me of that i just put in my head like let's see that was that was a that was a five that was a five for a normal one actually you know what this thing that i rolled no do it do it i would just like to say i rolled the percentile die uh-huh to see if it was like uh uh you know 60 or above it was going to be a healing potion 50 or lower it was going to be uh not

[01:02:06] a healing potion uh it was a perfect 100 holy cow so i'm gonna say you got a particularly powerful batch on that one and you can add plus two to the healing oh man so that's seven seven healing very nice oh what a nice dm so so she's like shocked and appalled and uh you know bless you bless you i'd use a reaction to speak if i if it didn't blow my cover

[01:02:35] yeah so she swallows instinctively and then like chokes like she's like you choke it's gross but you feel better it is an odd mix of sensation an unpleasant experience she shivers and shakes for a moment and then like smacks him with her bless you uh and i would also like town uh is there anything else for your turn uh that is it uh would

[01:03:05] you please describe for me what your cloud of daggers looks like when you go to cast it and it appears um so i'm i'm going to cast that that cloud of daggers and as i as i play you'll kind of see like these musical notes that kind of like appear around them and dance for a second before they like turn sideways and start like blades serrating them kind of around in a circle as it hits both of them uh and i i completely forgot but yeah bonus action to yak the potion in her mouth i deleted it i'm going to

[01:03:35] actually use my my movement i'm going to take the potential opportunity attacks to go out of the forest and i'm out of here that will be two opportunity attacks against you because you are a melee with both of them roll it so first one nat one so i'm going to say that first one lunges and misses your heel and gets stuck in the ground for a little bit breaks a tooth in the softer oh snap when it

[01:04:05] pulls back it is pissed and it is hissing up a storm but it is one thing down the next one rolled in that 20. so but it's yeah all right one more for good measure come on well it's it's 2d6 plus 4.

[01:04:31] so two more for good measure yep okay okay okay okay i rolled i rolled pretty decently low can i as as this one like begins to to make contact i want to use my reaction and i would like to use silvery well this isn't a spell never mind never mind never mind that's for spells right

[01:04:54] only yes for triggering event momentarily cause uncertainty for the creature must recoil i think it's any d20 oh yeah to make you re-roll it so yeah i i want to use my my reaction as this thing is like coming my way i see it out of the corner of my eye and then i close my eyes and oh no and as i hit that string silvery barbs activates oh amazing okay we re-roll that one all right all right all right

[01:05:23] all right all right all right okay uh uh does a 14 hit you uh 14 i think that misses that misses let's go who are you giving advantage to oh does it also do that for our audience back home uh micah or william is winking seductively at tau i would do this regardless okay a different creature you can see which i can't see you you can see a different what's your what's your passive perception

[01:05:52] what's your passive perception man 14 you can then see within range the chosen creature has advantage on the next attack roll uh and i'm gonna look over at morwina and as i as i kind of dance out as i kind of like hit that note and lift my feet slightly higher and the snake misses i'm gonna look over kind of cross-legged with loot in hand and wink at her and as i wink at her she feels the the kind of

[01:06:21] rush go through her as she feels the advantage that she'll get on next turn i'm so overwhelmed i don't whether i throw up or kill the snake kill it as towel runs away as fast as he can and with that 30 feet of movement i i managed to get out of the forest after dodging that attack yes yeah yeah you were because you were about like 10 feet away from the tree line 10 feet yeah you can get fully

[01:06:47] out of there if you'd like and put even yeah yeah i want to maintain close enough distance so i want to be within at least 60 feet of where i cast a cloud of daggers which would be like probably 40 feet away i think if i'm doing the math right but yeah and that's your full movement you would be 40 feet yeah 10 feet away 30 feet of movement yeah just to preface it if i get out of range or begin to get out of range let me know because my intention is to stay with that um that is an awesome turn for towel

[01:07:12] thank you very way to go uh uh all right god approves hey you know thank you lord i i haven't spoke to you as much as i have in the last five minutes ever but this is sweet man yo good show man but you're god again uh all right tal is that your turn that'll be turn awesome phalan you have more hit points than you started with yay yay you're out of range of the snakes yay

[01:07:42] i would also like to remind you because i've done a lot to remind us for the negative stuff i believe that everyone else still has five temporary hit points from aid we do in fact still have five temporary track of that yes and also i don't because they all went away when my ear got pierced yeah so uh i know that marina still has it i don't know if you still have the temp hit points or not but marina i checked your character sheet you still have the temp hit points yeah so

[01:08:10] i i added that back to my health and pretend like the temp got hit yeah absolutely dude yes yes yes cool all right phalan it is your turn what would you like to do all right so i want to check real quick to see if i need to do this before i jump off of tal and i will say quick vibe check that y'all can just see no uh rolls necessary on the snakes the one that y'all have been wailing on does look

[01:08:36] particularly haggard and bloodied from behind the tree you hear can anyone get the vibe i'm kidding oh man i gotta roll another vibe check captain why are you hiding back there you just see two eyes a little mustache and a nose peeking around the corner watching the baby bird happen that's how my last first mate got scurvy never mind

[01:09:06] i'm so sorry i'm completely throwing you off aren't i beth a little bit i had a plan and uh a good captain impedes good plan i will say we have been asking you if you'd like to go with the person that you're currently riding with so you could have decided to stay behind if you'd like no okay no thank you dm i appreciate it but no i don't want to stay with the snakes okay i was just

[01:09:29] checking i know maybe you want to hang out with no her her claws are stuck deep in tal's jacket she is along for this horse ride um until her turn arrives she is going to teleport to will who has not let her get injured on his shoulders yet and uh so pop flash of light she is thudding onto your shoulders again maybe you're starting to get used to this now tell yeah tell me how does that work do you need to see

[01:09:58] the person i know where you are because of my map oh i forgot about the map so that's such a sick feature high fucking five let's go i'm not tall enough for this dm but yes high five uh so she is going to pop onto your shoulders you thought you were invisible and now there's an owl on your shoulders again um a woman who's hurt you most in this crew keeps finding you i'm used to being hurt by women

[01:10:25] so sarah's that's my backstory she's like too true she is going to hold the spell that she was going to use for a moment um and she's going to uh run a clawed foot on will will's head uh you did very good job running and hiding i hide with you now thank you and uh she's going to cast guidance on him again okay

[01:10:54] can i use that in an attack roll i think is it only a still uh it is a skill check any ability check using the chosen skill so not an attack roll okay uh it says any ability check i don't know it's not technically an ability attack it's it's it would be a skills related thing i mean you do have i don't want a metagame and remember you have one snake that is

[01:11:20] haggard you have another that is full strength i mean you're more than welcome to do it it's for one minute so i'm sure i can find a way to use it i was i was going to do that along with healing myself but since tal healed me i'm like should i do that i don't know um i mean sure why not i just let the optics of her like perched on his shoulder and instead of hitting him with her hand she lifts a

[01:11:43] leg to break the claws down his face to give him guidance that's just that took me out the dry claws too so my skin's kind of like pulling with it as it's going down i wasn't expecting that to actually make you guys laugh okay she's not an expert on socializing something about her sitting there and then your face is here and she just goes one little talon just goes in my lip a little bit as it goes down you did very well please

[01:12:12] someone animate that oh my god right i want that in the show i'm gonna use this guy's insight check this person i'm kidding i think i actually will i because i was going to do that and then i decided not to and then i got severely distracted because i'm not uh neurotypical but anyways sure fairy fire um she's she's gonna still do the creepy thing with the claw um even though she's not casting

[01:12:37] guidance on you uh what's the range on fairy fire uh it is 60 feet well within range go ahead and do a what's the uh range of it in terms of like is it five feet ten feet 20 20 feet and uh it's a if they fail to check it's a 10 foot radius that they can be seen okay 20 feet and tell me about do you center it on them or do you like catch them in it on a corner and like have the excess go around

[01:13:03] somewhere else i'm just trying to get a viver where exactly in range it is um smack dab between the two snakes all right awesome awesome awesome awesome uh go ahead and do that what is the safe dexterity 14 dexterity 14 let's go okay uh that fell outside but i'm gonna count it because that was a 13 for the first one so it fails what does fairy fire look like when it catches on snake one the one that is

[01:13:29] most hurt um so she she does the creepy claw thing on will she's yeah you do a very good job um we are hidden but i want them not to be and uh points the same call she used on will's face towards the snakes and i will just just just instinctively just follow the talon as it pulls away from my face

[01:13:52] and uh i'm gonna say purple a purple light shoots out of her claw smacks into the ground between these two snakes bursts out and then it looks like a purple flame flew onto the snake covered it and now it's just glowing purple and then you see the second one light up as well as it also oh snap oh yeah so sparks of the flame fall off the first slither onto the ground and then catch flame on the

[01:14:19] other snake awesome now tell me uh it also hits any objects in the area as well right or what else does it hit on uh all objects in the 20-foot cube um also the creatures that's just like a 20-foot cube highlighted basically yeah exactly so it's like blazing in the forest and uh you see something on the ground also catch

[01:14:48] but it's in the kind of grass area so you can't really see it too well but you see purple flicker and catch on something in the ground hmm she's going to uh because objects automatically fail correct yes yes she's gonna duck her little bird head down uh into will's head again so hopefully he's thoroughly creeped out by now there is object right there i'm not getting because snakes try to eat me anyways uh i think i'm done and she's gonna

[01:15:17] like curl up in like a crevice of his cloak so you're expecting me to just carry you again yeah unless you like brush her off again and piss her off i am going right back towards the snakes if you do that she is going to freak out feathers ruffled and hop down and hide behind a tree okay understood absolutely absolutely all right feeling is that your turn absolutely yes okay first snake

[01:15:48] is caught on fire and it immediately like does an instinctive hiss as if it knows what it means to be on fire and squirms but then nothing hurts so it focuses again it looks around the closest to it now i believe would be morwena correct yes all right how far away is it from you are you still on melee with them when you were attacking melee so i was on top of it the intention would be on top

[01:16:12] awesome it is going to see how small you are you're not hurt but the other things are farther away maybe it is going to rear back and lunge forward and attempt to constrict you that is a 23 to hit yeah it's i need you to make a an athletics or acrobatics roll to see if you get

[01:16:37] out of the grapple but you will be hurt we're gonna do acrobatics all right go ahead go ahead go ahead and is this snake the the first snake that's been injured yes okay so okay i'll wait for this is this first the first snake oh let's go that's good huh yeah you want to go bat for bat on a 23

[01:17:01] was that a nat 20 it was a nat 20 add three let's go so that's a nat 20 that's even better than 23 then oh yeah oh yeah that's better always announce the nat 20 let's just always announce um it wraps forward around you and it does start to crush you but it misjudges your side thinking small little morsel and it doesn't understand just how dexterous you are you slip between two folds

[01:17:26] kick it away and i'll say on the kickoff to then get back to your original spot plus a little bit of distance uh you can go ahead and do an unarmed attack on it to see if you hit it see if you hurt it as you kick off away from it yeah i want to strike it with my shadow sword no just an unarmed hit as oh that's just an extra i'm doing dm wise to try and make you're saying i could back smack her no she's saying that because of your nat 20 is so badass that whenever you dodge them you kick off

[01:17:55] so when you kick them you hurt them no you're just determining how much damage you do with that kick you may want to check i don't know if unarmed strike if she'll even get anything if she doesn't have strong strength okay well then just roll the unarmed strike and then we can just do a d4 she does not actually yeah no she's got zero damage for unarmed strikes holy cow you have to either have the sailor feet or you have to be strong in order to actually get anything on an arm strike okay or or you know

[01:18:23] be like a monk or something she does have her shadow blade she does have a shadow she did say it she does have a shadow blade but i'm gonna say it is a d20 but giving that extra bit is already an extra thing i'm gonna say you can hit with the attack for your shadow blade but it's not going to do the damage for it it's going to be a glancing blow if anything so you can roll a d4 for damage but i'll let you chance to hit with your shadow blade okay which should increase the chances of

[01:18:52] hitting quite quite a bit okay so you can either take the d4 for free or you can roll a d20 to see if you hit regular right uh yeah uh no no it's a chance to see if you have to hit okay so d20 to do the d4 so roll a d20 it's just an extra thing i'm workshopping right now to see if it because i just i want to make d20s that much more awesome and not 20s so yeah i want to make nat 20s just that more awesome

[01:19:15] and that ones so add plus one to whatever that is 12 12 you just made its armor class so you do get the damage so roll a d4 it's a pyramid everyone now knows its armor class is 12. it's a little pyramid walk like an egyptian oh okay it landed like that so the top top number whatever's point is that four oh yeah four four let's go that's the best you can roll you do four damage on that kickoff

[01:19:45] it look you step immediately into its wound and one of your claw or no no you step you step off immediately from its wound and your blade glances off of it and it just wails a hiss it's yeah it's hurt that's so badass that is awesome uh but you do take oh how much did you take i rolled low i'm gonna go ahead and say i rolled uh uh uh very low i know one was a one i

[01:20:12] think it was a two or three so i'm gonna go ahead and say two for the other part of it plus four is uh seven you take seven damage or no wait wait two plus four yeah six uh well it's it's 2d8 plus four so i rolled a one-on-one i know for sure the other one was either a two or three so since i can't remember i'm gonna take the lowest so three plus four seven oh i see yeah so it's my bad for not remembering so we're gonna go with the lower one seven damage seven damage all right so it did hurt

[01:20:41] you a little bit did bruise you a little bit but you got your lick into and you flip back over so you are out of range of the other one without taking an opportunity well you couldn't take an opportunity attack even if you tried uh and the other one is five feet in front it was five feet in front of you and you rolled away so we're gonna see you there uh uh and that is its turn marina you're up so quick question did it move out of my my blades i did move five feet out of your blades okay cool

[01:21:08] but uh uh but it's not too far away cool mm-hmm sorry so it didn't end its turn in there but thank you for reminding me wait no no the other one's turn is before you so it didn't end its turn in the thing correct yeah nobody has yet i've been trying to wait and hope feel free to keep me honest with that you know make sure i remember because if i forget that's all me don't worry dm i'll let you know awesome so you said the other snake was only a couple feet away uh yeah at this point it's uh

[01:21:35] it was 10 feet away from you now it'll be 15 feet away do you have to use an action or can you just go straight to a bonus action if you wanted to you can do whichever whichever order you want to do okay um so i'm gonna cast tentacle of the deep um towards the other oh snap so okay tentacle of the deep is actually her class ability this is a new one because i i was so amped whenever she chose this one you can magically summon a spectral tentacle that strikes at your foes has a bonus action you create a

[01:22:04] 10 foot long tentacle you at a point you can see within 60 feet of you the tentacle lasts for up to a minute you can you can only use this feature to create a a single tank a single tentacle uh when you create the tentacle you can make a melee attack with it uh on the first turn as long as the creature is is within 10 feet of it on a hit the target takes 1d8 damage and its speed is reduced by 10.

[01:22:32] basically you're making an attack roll with your tentacle first yes and you get to do it at advantage because it's got fairy fire so roll two d20s basically oh because of fairy fire yeah oh dang so you darn you would have had double advantage poopy 17 for the first roll roll one more just to see just to see if you crit

[01:22:59] 18. okay you got a first hit absolutely hits go ahead and roll damage for the tentacle and please tell me what it looks like as you draw from the deep to create one d8 right so that's one d8 plus four d8 is this one the diamond the diamond the diamond that has four sides yep yeah oops sorry then add plus four to it we get this girl my trade i know that explains it i agree okay two then

[01:23:26] plus you said four four oh six six damage and this is on the one that's further away correct yep all right what does it look like when you summon it yeah when you summon the tentacle so as i'm like so i was hopping off on the other one pretty much right as my blade like grazed it yes you just landed as it grazed it i want to do like you know casual you know spider-man flip and i'ma land all black

[01:23:52] widow like and then you need the hair flippy and then i'm gonna look up and i want my purple eyes to just like pierce like a light like purple that y'all have never seen like almost like a kick like a arcane arcane like fire coming through my eyes and then this tentacle is just gonna pop out like out of nowhere from behind me and just come slamming down towards the serpent awesome hell yeah

[01:24:21] yeah okay that was your bonus action uh uh that tentacle comes up and it's bitch slaps the hell out of this other snake uh uh uh what do you do for your action movement i'm gonna stay where i'm at i will remind you uh they've already used their attacks of opportunity they have already used the reactions to try and attack tal when he left so if you moved out of the way they can't attack you for it if you would like to move but you don't have to i'll move my 30 feet

[01:24:50] but when i move my 30 feet after my movement i want to strike an eldritch blast at the one i just hit yes absolutely uh when you move 30 feet away are you going towards the tree line are you going further back into the forest are you going to the right are you going to where where are you right now phelan where are you i i'm on will's shoulders we're hidden in the forest y'all are where the tree line is they don't know you wouldn't know no we can't see him as of now i am at the tree line

[01:25:19] i'm outside of the trees i'm on the beach now yeah we're gonna go to the tree line you're gonna go towards tal okay awesome awesome got where you are uh uh yeah and you're still well within range to do your eldritch blast on that one snake so go ahead and roll the hit oh Reese's puffs Reese's puffs beat him up beat him up beat him up right oh god 11. and that's plus your whatever 17. you get advantage correct yep some yeah advantage well

[01:25:49] how do we want to roll that because fairy fire i think it's next next attack and then mine was also on the next attack nope fairy fire is on the next turn they're lit up they are lit up for the duration of the spell oh damn never mind yeah roll it again okay yeah it's until she loses concentration or uh dispels it basically oh so what's 17 plus 6 says 22. a 17 plus 6 is you eldritch blast this fucker in the face

[01:26:17] go ahead and roll damage yes yes okay so what is that one d10 this one okay discovery see yep wait is it uh yeah five sides no it's just this i mean they they kind of are the same but yeah oh i see i see i sorry that other one you just subtract the zero you take the zero off

[01:26:41] that's 70 so i got eight uh you there's 70 points of damage you blast a crater into the mountain uh uh how much is it so that's you said you rolled an eight yeah so eight plus four 12. 12 for the hit it says plus six right here no so eldritch oh yes he's correct he's correct yes yes he's correct four 12 damage that's 12 damage europe i'm gonna do this wait has she been hitting the damaged one

[01:27:09] yeah the yeah she used the tentacle on the full like they're not the full but the one that hasn't been hit as much this is the one y'all been wailing on it's a double whammy i slapped them and i slapped them again that tentacle stays she can slap with that tentacle once a turn as a bonus action she can also move it up to 10 feet also every time it hits it slows them by 10 so he's already slowed by 10 oh the the the big you yeah the yeah y'all were y'all were judging me for reading

[01:27:37] the whole thing that thing's fucking good yeah i was just hitting you no 100 it's a lot but like the more i read it the more i realize why am i not doing this on a regular basis right that's awesome oh yeah how you throw an eldritch blast at this one how do you kill it so the blast again my eyes just start glowing this arcane energy and it's just like a violet purple coming through my eyes and it just kind of looks like fireballs in my eyes and i'm looking at this creature and then i just put

[01:28:07] both my hands together um and i twist my hand just ever so slightly and it shoots out like a kamehameha that you then oh that's like the whooshy finger hold off a panda i whooshed him uh whoosh him you do you send that bolt through him it goes past his one fan his

[01:28:30] mouth is open in a big and uh uh it zooms between his two fangs like a goal post except that other one was broken off because it was not one he goes straight through his gullet out the back of his head and it goes and just crumples to the ground that's so badass snaps in the shells go awesome i think that deserves a hell yeah hell yeah

[01:28:58] things are right we know like run over to the snake as she watches this uh did you move use your full movement i did i did so not yet because we're still in combat okay okay the other one is still here i want one of them two now when the creature is dead is it still lit up it's still lit up it's like awesome yeah you know exactly where it is it's still lit up by purple flames over there nice uh uh uh is that

[01:29:24] the end of your turn yes that's all right top of the round fantastic uh uh will it is your go okay i'm gonna peer out from around the tree at this point i will be running towards it so i'm assuming that phelan will scurry out of my pocket yeah she doesn't want any more snake action she's gonna hop down feathers ruffled i'm gonna i'm gonna focus in with my blades seeing that one has already fallen

[01:29:49] and um that seems to focus me a little bit as almost a hungry look gets in my eyes and i start booking it towards the second snake um from where i am is it gonna be my full 35 feet uh i believe and again this is on me trying to remember uh i believe that you ran i don't think it moved from where it was so yes from where you ran to where it is i think it would believe well

[01:30:18] i was 15 feet away initially it came up but i did it move back away no it did not okay okay so it's only only 15 yeah it's only 15 you're right good call i'm gonna go with my blades i get advantage on both oh yes um uh first hit was a 15 uh definitely hits yes okay and that one's gonna have the sneak attack on it

[01:30:42] okay uh then that is uh 16 points of slashing damage my first hit and my second hit second hit's gonna be a 19 to hit definitely that one doesn't hit okay that one does not have sneak attack so that one's going to be uh and it's with my secondary weapon so i don't add my modifier i believe that's only going to be three points of slashing with my second blade uh yeah this thing's

[01:31:12] starting to look rough uh okay in that case i will back up 15 feet um i think i'm gonna stay out in the open though you stay on the open yeah and i'll end my turn got you got you uh uh yeah you're blades especially when you are honed in like this locked on target they are just carving scales off this thing and you just see bits of that fairy fire splutter and flutter as the scales fall to the

[01:31:41] floor as you just just sashimi slice this thing you were doing damage uh uh that your turn yeah unless you'd let me use my bonus action to potentially pick up whatever is on fairy fire in the grass uh it's next to the creature so you'd have to use some more movement to get around there but with how close you were it's not going to be a problem to reach down grab that and come back if you'd like okay

[01:32:07] is it something that i could just pick up uh are you actively like looking at it to see what it is first before you pick it up or do you just kind of grab it while your eyes are on the ground that's your call i know it's not technically a bonus action for that i'll let you do a bonus action with it just perception yeah give me a quick perception to see if you notice what it is before you pick it up and with his turn starting does that mean that that guy stayed where he was that last snake uh his

[01:32:33] turn was after yours and he's about to come up oh no no his turn was before yours so you popped it on him and he hasn't gotten a chance to move out of it yet cool cool sorry i misunderstood i thought he was before him uh no no he goes first and then it's the snake cool but very good call on that okay it's only 11. only 11 uh uh so would you just reach out to grab it even though you don't know yeah uh you snag into it real quick bring it back with you and when you raise up you see that it is a boot

[01:33:02] okay tal i have found the boot no more pinches oh that's fantastic captain i pulled it up it's just on fire oh it's it's totally fine i kind of like the way that the sand feels on my toes that's turn okay uh snake's turn okay is anyone currently in melee with it

[01:33:27] i'm 15 feet out 15 feet out uh the only thing that's in range is the tentacle correct i think so yeah okay uh it looks at its fallen ally it looks at all of you i'm just gonna make a basic little thing right here to see uh it rears back giving off waves of anxiety and then it turns and sidewind slithers further into the forest as

[01:33:55] it attempts to run away it's going to use its action dash less with 10 feet less with 10 feet less is it is it 20 feet less yeah because she hit it with a tentacle and i hit it with um something i forget uh ice uh that was the ice but that was two rounds ago correct and the other uh that was the other snake yes okay so just him no good looking out though so yeah it would be 20

[01:34:19] with the dash though oh well it has 30 feet of movement with 10 feet reduced with 10 feet reduced this is 20 bonus action dash would be 40 feet exactly so 20 because you count the reduced movement for the dash as well yes uh so it moves 40 feet away deeper into the forest at his attempts to run away okay uh and that is its turn towel you're up you are at the tree line and i believe

[01:34:48] believe you were 30 feet away from it initially or was it 20 feet um so i ran clean out of the forest and i was 10 feet away from this tree line so i'm 20 feet away now from the tree line okay so it would have been 30 feet away and now with that 40 it is now 70 feet away okay so i'm gonna just kind of like kind of walk back up into the forest i'm gonna like peek my head and look around you know obviously if i can see any of my compatriots i'm gonna look them in the face but if not it's kind of shouting generally into

[01:35:17] the forest uh hey guys i don't i don't think that it's cool that we we continue to chase that guy i say we just uh i say we go up this way i don't understand why i wanted to go through the forest in the first place and tal's gonna like just kind of you know peek his head into the tree line but then like poke his head back out and like just uh plant his bottom on the beach as he kind of just plays his loot and

[01:35:45] waits for his party to make his make their call that's turn i will remind you you do have uh uh the uh cloak of daggers up how much can you move it if you would like to send it after him that is a good question i think it's only 30 feet uh yeah you can magically teleport your cube up to 30 feet okay would you like to or i mean how far away i thought they were more than 30 feet at this point uh yes because they would have been 10 feet outside of it and everything but you could send it further

[01:36:15] if you just wanted to try and nah nah nah yeah no i'm gonna sit there and i'm gonna play my loot as i look across the the ocean oh so you're gonna you're gonna go up to the tree line turn your back to it and then start looking at the ocean while you're a little ditty awesome love it would you like to do anything with your turn just because i don't want you to waste a turn um if you want to you're good but if you have an idea for like a check to roll something to do that's a good call yeah um i will

[01:36:45] like kind of look in like kind of at the path that we're we were going before and i'll see if like you know the rest of the path seems clear yeah so you're just looking down the beach path uh uh that leads down yeah we'll say that so i'll kind of look along the beach see if anything is you know immediately obvious perception uh that is a 23 23 awesome you look down the path that you were headed

[01:37:14] towards uh you see those like two crabs that were messing with you on the beach they're no longer there but there seem to be like five or six kind of hanging around the coast there's a few more further down but they seem to be that same size you know you don't see like a giant one or something compared to the giant snakes you see just a couple around uh further you look down you do see that movement that phelan was talking about uh uh quite a distance of ways but late ladies and gents i

[01:37:43] don't know if y'all picked up on that that's foreshadowing if it's ever whacked me right in the face it would be right now what they're all they're all the same size you saw before there's not like a giant one anywhere three you know you just see the same size but more crabs okay hey this guy's this way seems you know suspiciously safe i'm sure it's totally normal and cool guys with a 23 you can make out those two figures in the distance that phelan was talking about

[01:38:11] they look humanoid ish in shape at least from what you can see they're they're they're the one standing on that little piece of island is probably bipedal a little tall and there is something about similar length to him from what you can see half in the water just lazily circling around so you can see that kind of in the distance okay so i'll say that but nothing else on the horizon nothing else coming

[01:38:34] from the tree line it looks like this fight has caused quite a bit of the forest fauna to okay could i say that i prep a actual bonus action and that bonus action being my spectral blades that i have ready so if needed i can it's a bonus action to move it bonus action to move it or i believe so here one

[01:38:58] second let me double check uh that is on later turns so it's a magic action so i still have my action right uh i'll say you could use you could burn either your action or your bonus action to make that perception check boom bonus action burned and then i'll use my i'll prepare my action for my my uh my blades if needed absolutely i will allow that good looking out cool and that'll be turn okay phelan

[01:39:25] it is your turn okay so is that snake running they don't see me because i hid with will and now will is gone is it heading towards me uh no it's heading away from you because where you guys were he moved y'all to the left while everything was happening kind of up front here and now it's moving further into the forest so you're near the tree line okay um but it's running away from you yes

[01:39:49] hell yeah uh so she watches will take off and attack this thing and make it run away and uh so she she's like feeling pretty confident that will can protect her even though towel uh did a terrible job and then manhandled her um so so she's going to hey man you seem a lot healthier after that i'm just trying to do it you know i'm trying to be respectful of your culture man baby burning will not leave my brain

[01:40:17] my captain said it was right so give giving him a little bit of the side eye while she smacks her beak a little bit um she she's going to um fly towards will do a little circle around him land and she wants to check the ground where she saw that item um that will picked up and see what she can see like is there remains there like absolutely would you like to use bonus action or we can kind of determine it a little bit later because that's why i've been doing a little loosey-goosey but you're actively searching

[01:40:47] this spot and everything correct yes um she's not going to do anything else so she's going to use her claws start digging in the leaves try to figure out go ahead and investigate what's going on over there yeah yeah yeah and i will also say you were in melee with it when it ran correct or did you know you disengaged and moved moved out with your we're not disengaged yeah i moved back okay i was double checking that i didn't not give you an attack of opportunity yeah um what what kind of check

[01:41:14] is she doing investigation okay unless you'd like to really delve into the magical aspect of it that would probably be a harder dc of what's going on if there's anything but you did use fairy fire to light it up and it could just be a normal thing i'm just giving you some options depending on what phelan would be looking for hmm she is always interested in magic but i think at the moment she's pretty confident that her fairy fire would mess up whatever arcane check she's looking for

[01:41:41] okay so she's just going to be trying trying to investigate see what there is and why there was whatever the item william picked up yeah absolutely go ahead and investigate uh 18 18 uh it's a pretty quick quid pro quo of these things were lying in wait for food it seems you look down in there there's a

[01:42:08] second boot may have been one of its previous victims there's no like clothing or items left no other bits of clothing in this 20-foot cube area what lit up is what was in here and it was two pairs of shoes or not two pairs it was two boots okay so she didn't match she picks up the other boot with her clawed foot uh she has hands that she constantly hides under her wings but she's not using them she's

[01:42:35] using her foot is it like a little sweater where you hide your hands in the sweater with the little feathers and then you poke them out every now and then yeah little little dinosaur arms little just i'm seeing the little baby hands the hands is peeking out like little gross she rarely uses them she doesn't see a point um but she is going to pick up the other boot and unknowingly have the same exact idea will had and she's going to wave the boot in her clawed foot tal i have shoes so you stop getting

[01:43:05] stabbed by crap huh what are y'all saying that tal will kind of look back because he's like lounging on the beach oh i told the last guy not important sand sand feet it's it's a wonderful experience highly recommend you are stupidest creature i ever met she says that under her breath and then drops the boot back on the floor got you got you uh uh is that your turn absolutely all right uh uh

[01:43:35] no uh more wayna what do you do i'm curious if i can even do this and if it would even be smart i don't want to metagame with y'all but y'all know i don't know too much i want to cast hellish rebuke so hellish rebuke is an action so it's only when something in it's only when something attacks you then you can use a reaction yeah but it attacked my buddies too late yeah you have to take damage yeah you have to take damage and you have to call it so you absolutely have yeah so when it first

[01:44:04] yeah yeah when it attacked you a minute ago and you did your your badass backflip you could have used hellish rebuke then even though you got an at 20 it's when it or wait is that one when it does damage timeout i think it's a successful hit correct so i have to f around for them to find out yeah right they have to f around yes yeah if they do damage to you then you can use your reaction to do 2d10

[01:44:33] fire damage on a failed dex save if they attack you and miss you can't use it but if they attack you and they do hit point damage yes you know she's already gone the snake's already like booking it right yeah the snake's booking it and tell feet away yeah it's 40 feet away from you now because you were in uh were you in melee with it or no i went to the tree line oh that's right that's yeah what is that that's about like 60 feet away that's 60 feet like 20 and then you have eldritch though

[01:45:01] that you can move oh yeah how far can the tentacle move the tentacle the tentacle can move 30 feet i believe what's its reach as a bonus action you can move your tentacle up to 30 feet and repeat the attack um and that is a 10 foot reach on the tentacle attack so that would hit it would be 10 feet away but with that reach you could hit it if you'd like to send it after him yeah so you could

[01:45:29] get bloodthirsty or you could investigate the snake corpse that you wanted to investigate it and also the tentacle hit is a bonus action and it is a you can summon the 10 one sec so i i'm gonna look at phelan you know what's better than one snake corpse uh no snakes exactly my thinking and then my eyes are

[01:45:52] just gonna shoot purple again and i'm gonna swing this tentacle that pops out of nowhere at this slithering serpent trying to get away awesome go ahead and roll the hit still at advantage still at advantage so roll that baby twice and add six to whatever you roll i was 17 for the first one that probably hits right off the bat but then that's 20 and not 20 no 14 plus

[01:46:22] six it's not 20. uh did you roll twice for advantage yes okay 17 plus six is what you would get with advantage yeah you pick the higher roll no so the first roll i had 11 so 17 total and then the second one is definitely hits go ahead and roll damage with the tentacle that's a d8 plus i think four two two two two two you guys said d8 was this it's a square diamond just one yep shine bright like a diamond

[01:46:50] two plus four six all right six points of damage no no no uh yes no that's that's correct sorry sorry yes that's correct gotcha gotcha and then you still have your action and your action and your move so what's happening as i as this so it's pretty much getting annihilated yeah this thing took off and also talon his turn i like peeped my head and it was like hey i think we should leave it alone i

[01:47:17] think he's running away and then i plopped my butt on the beach and uh will is like standing over the first corpse looking after the snake that ran away and i landed next to him and started digging the leaves so no one's witnessing my awesomeness we can all see it we can all see it we can see that we're all just kind of standing here like at ease with the snake running away and you take off after it with a

[01:47:41] gleam in your eye that is distinctly magical i would also like to point out uh you described your character to me as a friend of nature uh and a protector of animals uh please tell me do you attack it with eldritch blast as well no no girl if you want to absolutely i will say it is looking very hurt but it is going to run it away at a pretty good clip unless you do a lot of

[01:48:08] damage you're not going to kill it in one turn uh but if you would like to if that's in line with your character light his ass up say hello to your friend for me and then i'm just gonna slap my hands together i love the blood loss at one with nature until nature fucks with her hey hey it's dog eat dog kill or be killed survival of the fittest man uh go ahead and roll to hit with your eldritch blast

[01:48:34] and that is also uh rolling with advantage it's just nature she's top of the food chain uh that's a 21 isn't it 6 16 16 plus 6 y'all help 22 22 let's roll it again just to see if you crit oh that's a 16 you see yeah 22 again all right so then uh since you hit grab the d20 again

[01:49:02] or it's gonna be the d10 yes no that's the eight so d10 is the diamond the diamond yeah there you go we're gonna roll that for damage five plus four so it's nine damage this thing looks hard there are patches of scales that are gone there's little chunks taken out of it from all these

[01:49:28] different blasts there are slices along its whole sinuous little body it looks hard but it is still alive and kicking are you kidding me all right you have movement is there anything you'd like to do i can't do anything else other than move so i mean you could continue chasing it even though you can't do anything yet

[01:49:56] i mean are you all going to do anything is the thing you could call for us and try to get us to towel what do you say about exterminating one more snake come on man i think that if we charge on in there i think that we're just going to encounter more of those things man it's the juice really worth the squeeze i don't know why y'all went there in the first place well how else do you make an epic ballad and i'm just gonna be rage baiting the fuck out of him to help me you know okay this snake um

[01:50:25] i'm trying to decide if towel would bite on that or not um towel would think about it for a second nah that's not really my jam usually you know that's kind of like epic battle music i'm more like you know lyrical and methodical i'm about the vibe man you understand weren't you doing epic chase music just to get to office the epic chase music is just part of the

[01:50:52] bit you know every every every transition needs this music come on uh nah that that that thing hurt a little bit no i'm good yeah that that was ch i got choked out and and not the good kind what is what is good time uh i'm sorry i spent a lot of time in taverns my my bad okay marina do you use your uh movement at all or all this is crane within a six second round

[01:51:19] yeah i'm just gonna be like what a charmer to towel and i'll be like i'll see you next time tell your friends i'm just gonna shout it to the snake and use the rest of my movement to move over where they are on the beach okay uh that's the end of the round now i'll ask you does anybody want to chase after the snake william will william will then top of the round william it is your turn yeah i'm a streak after it bonus action like a like a streak of shadow i'm i'm gone with both blades

[01:51:49] i was about to say you have a 70 movement when you do that yeah you easily catch up to it you could get in front of it if you wanted to i will i'm gonna get right in front of it it's still got fairy fire just tell me how scary do you look when you do this what is your mindset going into this come on my god give it to us i look pretty you look pretty scary just roll intimidation just to see what it does to this thing it's an animal so it doesn't get new you took away my nat 20 that i

[01:52:17] could have used yeah this this is just an animal it was just trying to survive it was over here having its meal it dies out of fear it just seizes with a nat 20 for intimidation i'm going to say it is stricken with the uh uh frightened condition okay cool um yes and i'm gonna make my attack now uh that was good but i think that might still hit that was a 13 you do roll with advantage correct

[01:52:45] yes okay mm-hmm 13 hits oh that's better that's much better 16 that is 20 points of slashing damage on the first hit doesn't even need a second how would you like to do this um i would like to see the frightened look on its eyes sheath my sword just have the longer cutlass out

[01:53:14] slice its head clean off catch its head and if this ends combat does this end combat for us it does end combat i'm gonna roll out of sight from the rest of the group behind the nearest tree for a few moments i messaged you okay uh if it's okay i'm gonna roll a stealth for that absolutely roll a stealth for that and i will say on top of your intimidation go ahead and roll that with advantage just because everyone has a hard time kind of looking at you too hard if anybody wants

[01:53:43] to try really discerning this it's going to be a little tough uh phelan absolutely is watching him like a hawk because her her eyes had started to go big with morina like oh my god go impressed she's chasing the snake can over and then will takes off leaves flying behind him her eyes are wide as hell she's watching him decimate this creature that was trying to kill her he is so

[01:54:09] swift with it that you don't catch everything with surety just enough to feel a shiver down your spine at the quick way he dispatches this creature go ahead and roll uh that's 14 all right uh you see him slice its head off duck and roll behind a tree the force kind of blends and blurs together you don't

[01:54:33] see where he ends up you don't witness what happens next okay uh does anybody else check on that or what else does anyone else want to do while whatever's occurring is occurring um i i think that tal will just kind of be yeah i think he'll still just be kind of sitting by the shoreline maybe maybe like beginning to kind of walk down the path that we're gonna go but not really making his way too far just

[01:55:03] kind of meandering down the the tree line kind of looking ahead at where the path may lead okay okay okay okay uh morwino wants to go and look at the the desiccated snake that didn't get away and i want to go collect some souvenirs i want to take a couple of snake teeth out of the yeah you can spend however long this moment last just going through peeling away some you take out

[01:55:31] that hey this one uh only has one intact fang but you can attempt to take that out and if you'd like to try and grab some scales as well i would say go ahead and make me either either a sleight of hand or a survival check to try and get items off of this corpse okay so i'm gonna do a sleight of hand that's 15 as a 15 all right over the course of the next few minutes you wiggle and you twist and you

[01:56:01] kind of use your claws nails to scrape up under and try and get a couple scales i will say let's just see yep you get the fang intact it's a little brittle at the top where you kind of don't pull yank it out but snap it off uh and you get four scales from this thing you can go ahead and add that to your inventory those are custom items i can show you how to add them later just go ahead and

[01:56:29] write it down somewhere or try and keep track of it and everything and you got it how many uh um scales did you say four four four scales and i think there as the melee quiets down there's a few minutes where you all kind of take a breath after that impromptu combat and you feel

[01:56:52] another slightly longer rumble pass through the island to no other great effect than you feel in another tremor and that's where we're going to end that episode this has been tales of yvonne the pirate table above swindling seas the empire table delves into magical mysteries be sure to follow their side of the story to uncover more about the world of yvonne follow the show to stay
