It doesn't cost you anything, but it gives us a little bit of kickback, which really helps with the channel at the moment. We are currently playing probably Call of CTHULHU at the moment in the Cult of the Lamb setting that live streams live on Mondays at half seven UK time. I think that's all it. Yeah, let's go on with that intro. [00:03:05] Speaker D: Hello, I'm julia and I play lucretia, a lorevar wizard. [00:03:11] Speaker B: Hi, my name is theo and I'll [00:03:13] Speaker A: be playing pally, a wolfkin seraph. [00:03:17] Speaker E: Hi, I'm georgia and I'll be playing virgil, the sanguavar ranger. [00:03:24] Speaker F: Hi, my name is dm dan and I'm playing myrden, a wolfkin guardian druid. [00:03:31] Speaker C: Hi, I'm livy and I'll be playing bo, the dragon scent warrior. [00:03:37] Speaker A: And my name is nate and I'll be the gm for this adventure. So let's jump back into it, folks. We left you last episode faced off by these large hulking automatons with. With swords for limbs, swords for legs, a large sort of spear that juts out of one of their limbs as well. They have been commissioned by the artifice that lives in Sanctuary, Laney, to protect the the townsfolk and the citizens from beings that appear outside in the woods. She has been very adamant that they will protect the people of Sanctuary, but only the people of Sanctuary. And of course you5 are not citizens of Sanctuary and they have set their sights on you. [00:04:56] Speaker D: Oops. [00:04:58] Speaker C: Currently, I see papers. [00:05:01] Speaker A: They don't need to ask questions later. [00:05:09] Speaker F: You. [00:05:10] Speaker A: You have at the very last, at the very last minute, before we ended last episode, you have actually had a little bit of cavalry come to help you in the figures of Kelphin and Rollo. Kelphin, the sheriff of the town, and Rollo, the tavern keeper of the Lazy Dog, looking more like the soldiers that they once were with a big old sword and a big warhammer. So to give you a little bit of mechanics, they won't be making attacks directly, but they have effects that will help you during this fight if you choose to use them or if they are activated. So I'll keep an eye on that. But if there is anything that you see, you should have access to both of them. They will have some effects that you can ask, can we do this? And you'll have to spend a resource to make that happen, and so on and so forth. So let us commence. Back in with the battle. So last person who thought was actually Brother Talons, Brother Talons came in with a fight. [00:06:17] Speaker E: He's a good lad. [00:06:19] Speaker A: He's a good lad. But he rolled. He rolled a successful attack with fear. So he did actually get a little bit of attack in there. So the next person we had from last time. Beau and Murden had both put their hands up to take the spotlight next. So who would like to take the spotlight next? [00:06:40] Speaker C: I can't remember what I was gonna do, so [00:06:45] Speaker F: I do. I left notes. [00:06:48] Speaker A: Let's go with Maiden then. [00:06:50] Speaker F: Okay, so like seeing these like large odometer, like stalking forward and sort of like turning his head to see Kelvin and Rollo like backing us up. Like, Mirdin takes a few steps forward towards the one on the left. And so like he clutches a hand around his pendant in a manner similar to when he transformed into like his bare form back in the forests of Falstrom. And then out the corner of his eye he sees Bo who very recently got put through a bedroom wall by the same bear form. [00:07:35] Speaker C: And not in a good way. [00:07:36] Speaker F: And not in a good way, not [00:07:37] Speaker E: in a fun way. [00:07:39] Speaker F: And Myrdden like has a momentary pause where he like thinks about how he lost control with his bare form and then decides instead he releases the the pendant and then the runestone. He sort of like waves his hands. The runestones begin orbiting quicker. As he's gonna spend a stress to adopt a protector stance with the runestones. Do I? Am I shakeable? I am shakable so I don't get the stress back. And then I'm gonna go into. As the runestone start spinning, Myrden becomes unstoppable. [00:08:25] Speaker A: Okay. [00:08:27] Speaker F: He will then walk forward to sort of like how far is very close is there. So he then stalks forward to very close range. And as these runestones are kind of spinning around and faster and faster, he then thrusts his hands out and the three runestones fly out like like bolts. And I'm going to do improved handbroon attack. Because these are dangerous. I'm going to spend a hope to add on my shepherd of the flock experience in a sort of like protector stance and noise, noise, noise, noise. 26 with fear. [00:09:18] Speaker A: 26 with fear. That is. That is a hit. [00:09:22] Speaker F: That is a hit. 3d10 plus 3. This is 21 demage. [00:09:36] Speaker A: 21 dimage is minor damage. [00:09:41] Speaker F: Okay. No correction. 22. Yeah. 22 demage. Because of the unstoppable. [00:09:57] Speaker A: Yeah. That is still minor damage. [00:10:01] Speaker F: Okay. In which case, as they ricochet back towards me, as the rune turns ricochet back towards me and I sort of like grab them and they'll begin orbiting again. I'll snarl because normally I turn into a big old bear for things like this. [00:10:18] Speaker C: Do it the old fashioned way. [00:10:19] Speaker F: Do it the old fashioned way. [00:10:21] Speaker A: Do it the old fashioned way. I think with that because you rolled with a fear. I am going to spend a fear after sort of taking like a little bit of actually now knowing that you are an adversary that you are attacking this. This Mecca that you've just attacked in front of you is going to spend a fear and is going to mark you as a target. So at the moment your evasion is. Is halved until this. Until this Mecca is destroyed or you are hidden. [00:11:00] Speaker E: Okay. [00:11:04] Speaker F: Wasn't using it anyway. [00:11:11] Speaker A: Who would like to go next? [00:11:14] Speaker C: I'll go. [00:11:17] Speaker A: Yeah. Bo. Go, go, go. [00:11:21] Speaker C: Cool. So I'm going to say I guess this Mecca over here with Pally. Is that a melee range? Brother Talons is definitely in melee range. He's on him. [00:11:40] Speaker A: Yeah. Brother Talons is in melee range and Pally's also in melee range. [00:11:45] Speaker C: Perfect. I'm gonna shoot off a couple of shots with my gun. Where are you gun? I'm gonna spend a hope to use my experience as a sharpshooter and we're gonna. Oh, it's a 15 with fear. Gonna do it. [00:12:14] Speaker A: A 15 with fear. Unfortunately doesn't hit. Yeah. How. How are you feeling at the moment though? Are you feeling a little bit just like. Oh, oh no. Can I. Is this anything that you've ever thought up against before? [00:12:31] Speaker C: I wouldn't think big Meccas with sword flex is very common on things that he's fought before. He's much more sort of used to sort of one on one, dead of night, back of a bar, in and in, slit their throat rather than knives for legs. So I think with that I'm gonna just move a little bit. Don't need to be there. Move there. [00:13:14] Speaker D: Very good, Very good. [00:13:15] Speaker C: And I think that'll be. That'll be it. [00:13:19] Speaker A: Might be it. Okay with that as you failed with a fear. I'm going to go next. I am going to. I'm going to truddle some of these little guys in this direction. [00:13:36] Speaker D: Oh no. [00:13:38] Speaker A: Get another little guy over there. Another little guy. We'll go over there as well. So they're going over to Pali. I am going to. Let's see what it is. Let's have a look. P. Could you roll me an agility roll please? [00:13:59] Speaker B: Okay, that's reaction roll. [00:14:03] Speaker A: Just a reaction roll please. [00:14:09] Speaker B: It's a good roll. [00:14:10] Speaker A: Fantastic. 24. So as. As you sort of have backed away from this, from this robot that's actually in defense has had these spikes sort of come out of it and you've sort of bowed back to sort of avoid this attack, you notice these tiny little robots have kind of gone zip zip. And they've zipped around you and you've noticed that out of like the the sort of sides of their bodies these kind of wires have sort of tried to come out and restrain you. So they've tried to get around to restrained your legs. But because you had like a little bit of quick thinking, you've been able to sort of dodge out of the way to not be restrained by these tiny little robots. [00:14:55] Speaker B: It's good. I'm glad that that would be bad [00:15:02] Speaker A: with that as well. I'm going to spend a fear and this robot here. No actually this robot, this big one, this big mech sword in the corner. He is going to start coming over and helping out as well as you as maybe Lucretia. You're looking over and you can actually see one of these other robots coming over. You notice the. The lore of our lady Laney in her wheelchair is sort of just trying to just like pick all the buttons that she has everywhere. Just trying to make these stop but is really struggling to. To sort of get them to calm down or to deactivate. Yeah. So next person we've got is Pally. Do you want to take the spotlight, Pally? [00:15:56] Speaker B: I would like to if that's okay. [00:15:57] Speaker A: Got your hand up? [00:15:59] Speaker B: I do have my hand. Okay, so first thing I want to do is I want to roll my prayer dice at the beginning of the second session because we should, we should do that. How do I do that? We roll dice. How we do that? Roll dice. And I think I can roll the one cuz I have devout. Is that right? [00:16:26] Speaker A: Yeah, you can roll one of them but I don't think you even need to re roll it now. You can reroll it later if you want. [00:16:32] Speaker B: Okay, cool, I'll do that. So save time. Yeah. Well, I'm going to hit the the big guy again but. And if I hit, my plan is to use spirit weapon. So I can also hit the little little guys or one of the little guys depending on what happens next. So let's go with. Right. I'm going to spend a hope to use train since birth. Gonna give it a roll and see. Not great. Cool. Not bad. [00:17:15] Speaker A: A17 with Hope does hit. So you're using that to attack the the Mecha sword in front of you? Yes. Cool. [00:17:25] Speaker B: So I'll hit the Mecha Sword and then I also want to use spirit weapon so I'm gonna put that in the chat. So use spending a stress. I can also hit basically it works with like false hammer. So the ax will hit the big Mecca. But it'll also hit do the three counters of swarm or they individual targets? [00:17:47] Speaker A: They're individual. Yeah, they're minions. [00:17:49] Speaker B: Okay, cool. So I will choose the one closest to the Mecca. This guy. [00:17:55] Speaker A: Yes. [00:17:57] Speaker B: So I spend distress. So yeah. So I'm going to roll damage. Roll damage. [00:18:08] Speaker F: Nice. [00:18:09] Speaker B: Yep. So 19 damage to mech happens one of the little guys. [00:18:15] Speaker A: Yeah. So the. The Mecca sword in front of you. It will. That is only minor damage for that. [00:18:25] Speaker B: Okay. [00:18:27] Speaker A: But for the little Mecca, for the little tiny robots that sort of. The one that's tried to restrain you, you just give it a big old thwack with Moon Cleaver and it just goes and just. Just dies. It just deactivates. [00:18:45] Speaker B: Well, that's useful. And then the last thing I want to do is I want to use an ability which is second wind. So once per rest you can. If you succeed on the attack against adversary, you can clear three stress or a hit point. I want to clear three stress because I have lots of stress already. So clear three stress and continual one. Nice. That should clear my stress. It has not, but that's fine. I'll just clear it manually. [00:19:13] Speaker A: Because you're still in melee range of this mech sword, it is going to use thorny armor again and attack you for. Did that go in the chat? No, it didn't go in the chat. There we go. And it is good to attack you again for 1d10 plus 5. There you go. Attacks you for nine. As these as the protection, as the armor that comes out, it just goes sh. As these like thick spikes come out of it to sort of back you off. [00:19:53] Speaker B: Cool. Yeah. Well, I'm going to use an arm slot to get rid of it. [00:19:59] Speaker A: Cool. [00:20:00] Speaker F: So [00:20:04] Speaker A: anything else or are you happy to move there? If. [00:20:07] Speaker B: If I move, they'll do I have attack opportunity or not at this point, if you move. [00:20:14] Speaker A: No, you'll be fine. [00:20:16] Speaker B: Trying to think if it's worth. I think actually it might be worth me staying so they can focus on me. So for now, I think I'm going to stay in melee range, bringing up my axe and my sword and my shield and just trying to make them focus on me on this side of the rub. [00:20:33] Speaker A: Cool. Cool. Who would like to go next? [00:20:39] Speaker C: Can I ask a question? [00:20:41] Speaker A: You can. Yes. [00:20:43] Speaker C: So beneath Lainey, there's some little guys. [00:20:49] Speaker A: Yeah, there's some little guys. [00:20:52] Speaker C: How big tall is that wall from little guys to Lainey? [00:20:57] Speaker A: That wall is probably. Say it's probably like about. And this. This is where you're getting my Measurements [00:21:08] Speaker D: the size of a human. [00:21:11] Speaker A: Yeah, it's about. It's about the size of a human. It's about. It's about a meter and a half to tall, I would say. [00:21:17] Speaker C: Or a little dragon cell. [00:21:20] Speaker D: A little guy. [00:21:21] Speaker A: A little guy. [00:21:22] Speaker C: A little guy. [00:21:23] Speaker A: I mean you could definitely pull yourself up onto it though. [00:21:27] Speaker C: Interesting. [00:21:28] Speaker A: But I will ask you to roll an agility if you wanted to. Unless you jumped off someone. [00:21:34] Speaker E: Oh, [00:21:37] Speaker D: we know. [00:21:37] Speaker C: How funny you say that. It's funny that you say that. So can I. Can I have a go? [00:21:52] Speaker A: Yeah, go for it. [00:21:54] Speaker D: Go. [00:21:55] Speaker C: Okay. I. Yes. I'm gonna come back up over here. Hey, my friend. I. I would like to boost off of Murden. I am so with boost I can flip myself in the air. Form an area of attack against a target within far range. You have advantage on the attack. Add 1d10 blah blah. And I moved with melee range of the target. So I see. I'm going to target one of these little guys so I can get over there. [00:22:42] Speaker F: This isn't the first time you boosted off me Eden, is it? [00:22:45] Speaker A: No. [00:22:46] Speaker C: No. [00:22:49] Speaker F: Okay. In which case, I think if you're. If you like, I'll. I'll throw it effectively. I'll see you coming. Realize what's about to happen. I'll throw out one of my runestones to use as like a moving like a catapult to hurl you over these golems. [00:23:10] Speaker C: I see the rune stone and I still step on your head. [00:23:14] Speaker A: I was going to say if you want to use the runestone, I will accept that as bow taking advantage. If you're happy to spend a hope to give him advantage for that. [00:23:30] Speaker D: Okay. [00:23:31] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:23:31] Speaker E: Okay. [00:23:32] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:23:32] Speaker F: Yeah. What do I need my hope for? Yeah, I go for it. [00:23:37] Speaker C: Yeah. Rogue little guys. That's what you need your hope for. [00:23:41] Speaker F: So you can have. [00:23:42] Speaker E: Have a. [00:23:42] Speaker F: Have an advantage. [00:23:52] Speaker C: So boost. Flick yourself into the air. Form an aerial attack against a target within far range which is going to be over here. And as I'm in the air, I'm going to shoot in the. In the middle of these guys. [00:24:11] Speaker D: Nice. [00:24:12] Speaker C: So that would be gun advantage. An advantageous gun. Still a terrible roll. [00:24:24] Speaker A: A ten with fear. Which. Which one are you hitting? [00:24:30] Speaker C: Any of them. [00:24:31] Speaker A: Any of them. Doesn't matter. It doesn't hit. [00:24:32] Speaker C: Doesn't matter. [00:24:33] Speaker F: No. [00:24:34] Speaker B: Yes. [00:24:35] Speaker A: Unfortunately, you. You were fully prepared to jump off Murden. But then Murden was just like, I'm gonna help. I'm gonna. I'm going to give you one of my runes that you can jump off and it completely throws off your Trajectory. So you're just like. So while you're kind of hoverboarding on this rune a little bit, you then sort of lose your balance and you fly off into this bush. Now you are surrounded by. By these drones, by little guys. By these little guys who all see you [00:25:09] Speaker F: from the other side of the bed. I yell, what are you doing? [00:25:15] Speaker C: What are you doing? [00:25:17] Speaker A: Who are then all going to do a group attack. [00:25:21] Speaker B: No. [00:25:22] Speaker E: Come on. Little guys against little guys. [00:25:29] Speaker A: And they make one. They're gonna make one shared attack roll. I have to spend a fear to do that. Go on. [00:25:40] Speaker B: Then. [00:25:44] Speaker C: I need to add some hope to myself. Keep forgetting I'm fearless. [00:25:50] Speaker A: I don't think I've actually done. It's just a. Oh, it's just five. So yeah, five. [00:25:56] Speaker F: Five per. [00:25:58] Speaker A: Five. So yeah, so it's five per each of them. So. And it is fine. So all of them move into melee range. So they are all just like surrounding you. So. [00:26:13] Speaker D: Oh, my God. [00:26:14] Speaker A: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. So yeah, 25 to hit. [00:26:17] Speaker C: 25 to hit damage, isn't it? [00:26:21] Speaker A: It's just instant damage. Yeah. If they hit, then if they'll take [00:26:26] Speaker C: 25 damage, I'm gonna take one armor slot. One. Very much. [00:26:34] Speaker A: Okay. And with that, I am also going to. Let's try. Let's try and get in these other boys in. So I'm going to spend another fear to sort of get more of these. Not you. [00:26:55] Speaker C: Oh, boys. Oh, boys. [00:26:57] Speaker D: No more boys to start, boys. [00:27:00] Speaker A: These boys in on the action as well. [00:27:02] Speaker D: No, [00:27:07] Speaker A: Let's have a little. Let's have a little thinking. [00:27:09] Speaker D: Let's. [00:27:10] Speaker A: Let's have some more fun. [00:27:11] Speaker D: No, I'm having so much fun already. Nate, you don't need to do anymore. [00:27:20] Speaker A: I am going to spend another fear to get this guy to come up and talk to you. Lucretia and Vergil. [00:27:29] Speaker D: Please, no. [00:27:31] Speaker A: Please stop at the same time. [00:27:32] Speaker D: Absolutely not. [00:27:33] Speaker E: Maybe don't. Maybe, maybe go away. [00:27:36] Speaker C: You might miss. [00:27:37] Speaker A: You never know. He's gonna spend a stress to do [00:27:40] Speaker D: a multi attack, is he? [00:27:43] Speaker A: Yeah, why not? [00:27:44] Speaker D: Oh, what a dick. [00:27:46] Speaker A: Has that gone in the chat? [00:27:48] Speaker D: Yeah, that's what I was thinking. What a dick. [00:27:51] Speaker E: We're past our prime and magic users, we're squishy. [00:28:00] Speaker A: I'm also going to spend an experience with him to protect Sanctuary. Actually, no, I'm not going to spend that one. I'm going to spend Barely Been Born. One of his experiences. One of his experiences, mana detection. And I feel like that's a little bit more interesting with Virgil and Lucre. [00:28:24] Speaker E: We've never fell in our lives. What are you talking about? [00:28:28] Speaker A: He got a 10. Does that attack anyone? Nope, nope. Unfortunately, with his 10, like, this robot is trying to. Obviously you've said he's only just been born, like, three seconds ago. He is now slightly inexperienced, waving around, trying to sort of get an attack at the three of you, Rollo included. But Rollo is just like, whoa, Hell. Bloody hell. [00:29:00] Speaker C: Be like a newborn baby giraffe when they just run around. [00:29:04] Speaker A: A little bit unsteady, just walking on swords. When you first try high, he would shoes in. [00:29:09] Speaker D: This is like, yeah, exactly. [00:29:11] Speaker C: We've all been there. We've all been there. [00:29:12] Speaker A: Yeah, we've all been there. [00:29:14] Speaker E: I'm feeling kinship with this robot. [00:29:17] Speaker A: Yeah. And that is all my ghost gun. Lucretia, would you like to go next? [00:29:24] Speaker D: I'd like to get out of melee range from this guy, if that's possible to do. Is that allowed? [00:29:30] Speaker A: Yes. You can move up to close, but if you want to go any further than that, you have to roll an agility roll. [00:29:36] Speaker D: That's fine. I'll just go there. Next to Kelphin, I would like to attempt to open an arcane door. [00:29:46] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:29:47] Speaker D: So I need to make a roll to do that. The roll is a decent 13. Using my knowledge. Let us see if it works. Yes, it does. Indeed it does. It's a 24 with hope. I'm going to spend my hope to open a door up next to Laini, please. And then I. I look at Kelphin and say, I will do what I can. And I step through the door and find myself. Whoop. Next to Lainey. [00:30:27] Speaker A: He just. He kind of goes. He kind of goes, okay. And then as soon as you're gone, he's just like, well, how's that gonna bloody well help? And then turns around and he sees you. He's just like, bloody hell. [00:30:41] Speaker D: So, yeah, as I walk through the other door next to Lainie, I say to her, I promise we'll. We'll explain everything just as soon as we sort this little situation out. Can I help? [00:30:56] Speaker A: She's like, I don't know how to. I didn't actually plan to have, like, an off button on them. They weren't supposed to attack people, of course. [00:31:05] Speaker D: Why would you, child? Why would you let me have a look and that'll be. I guess my next turn will be having a look. [00:31:13] Speaker A: Okay. Would you like. I mean, would you like to continue the spotlight or would you like to [00:31:18] Speaker D: pass it on to someone else, if that's all right? I think I Will have a look. [00:31:23] Speaker A: Yes. [00:31:24] Speaker C: Yes, please. Going up east from the book, [00:31:29] Speaker A: Lucretia, as you've. As you've sort of gone up to Laini, you have noticed that this hulking, big dragon scent has sort of made sure that she's in the way of. Between you and the princess. [00:31:42] Speaker C: Sure. [00:31:42] Speaker D: Oh, no, that's. Down, doggy. And she goes back to. No, she doesn't actually say that. She'd know that this is like an angel or something. I think that's what she thinks. No, no, it's okay. It's all right. And she's gonna have a look. I guess. This would be a knowledge roll, kind of, would it? Or like seeing if I can figure out the controls. [00:32:11] Speaker A: Yeah. So, yeah, give me. Give me a knowledge. Give me a knowledge roll. [00:32:15] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:32:16] Speaker D: Have I got any experience? Academic savant, Intense curiosity, interest in the natural world, wonders and strange? Probably not, no. But I'm just gonna roll it and see if I can figure it out. Huh. That is 15 with hope. [00:32:38] Speaker A: A 15 with hope. Okay, with a 15 with hope. You. Laney, sort of. She doesn't give you the. The box. She sort of shows it to you. She's obviously like, you're a brand new person who these robots have started attacking, and she's not completely sure, but there's something that's obviously coming off you that means that you're probably not trouble. So she sort of shows it to you. And you can see that there's like a couple of dials on there and some. And some. And some buttons and some little switches that don't make a hell of a lot of sense. But you can probably gauge that these dials are probably not going to do much because the. These, from what you can sense, are being powered by something else. [00:33:26] Speaker D: Huh. I'm gonna. [00:33:28] Speaker A: It's almost like this is just a toy that has no effect to them. [00:33:32] Speaker D: I'm gonna say to her, where is the power source for these robots? [00:33:38] Speaker A: She. She just kind of points at the princess. [00:33:45] Speaker F: Beau, you're up. [00:33:47] Speaker A: This is your forte. [00:33:49] Speaker D: Look extra cute. [00:33:53] Speaker C: Okay. [00:33:55] Speaker A: And you can see that the princess is quite. You can see that the princess is audibly and visibly upset. She's crying. Snot is everywhere. She's. And she's scared. She's really scared. [00:34:09] Speaker D: Oh, blimey. Okay, that's really interesting. Oh, no. [00:34:13] Speaker E: Dealing with children. [00:34:14] Speaker D: Oh, no. This is not Lucretia's strong suit. Okay, cool. My wheelhouse. [00:34:19] Speaker F: Who. [00:34:19] Speaker D: Who is. Whose is it, though? I think which of us is good with children? [00:34:24] Speaker A: Who is his child? [00:34:26] Speaker D: Pally is the Closest. [00:34:27] Speaker B: Probably just me. Because I am a child. [00:34:29] Speaker D: Because you are also Bebe. [00:34:32] Speaker C: I have high charisma. It depends what. [00:34:35] Speaker D: Okay. [00:34:37] Speaker E: What about brother Talons? Is he not cute enough? [00:34:41] Speaker F: He could be. [00:34:43] Speaker C: What about. [00:34:45] Speaker F: What about the stern dad? [00:34:49] Speaker C: What about Murder's murder Bear? [00:34:52] Speaker D: So Fluffy Roller is probably gonna be the best. [00:34:58] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:34:59] Speaker D: Okay. I think that's my turn done. I found out a bit of info. I'm gonna mull on it. [00:35:04] Speaker A: Cool with that. Virgil, I think you're next. [00:35:07] Speaker E: Yes. I'm gonna ask a stupid question you should probably know the answer to at this point. How far is close range range? [00:35:15] Speaker A: Close range is. Well, close range is about that far. So. [00:35:23] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:35:23] Speaker A: So close range is quite a lot. Just past murden up to the little robots. [00:35:28] Speaker E: Cool. And if I. If I break out here, I'm gonna get hit. Am I gonna get hit by an opportunity or is that. [00:35:33] Speaker A: No, you won't get hit by an opportunity. [00:35:34] Speaker E: Right. If I head here and I am going to try and cast. Conjure swarm. [00:35:41] Speaker F: Blimey. Are you going to attack the one in the middle? [00:35:48] Speaker E: Because it's a Big Mac in the middle. It's. I'm going to try and cast. Make a spell cast. Roll against all adversaries within close range. Spend a hope to deal 2d8 plus 3 magic damage to targets you succeed against. So I'm going to try and get as much as I can. [00:36:03] Speaker A: Yeah, sounds good. [00:36:05] Speaker F: In which case, may I suggest as you duck out the way to do the swarm. I'm going to. I'm gonna tag team with you. I'm gonna barrel in. [00:36:21] Speaker D: Go it. [00:36:22] Speaker C: Is there room for one more? [00:36:24] Speaker F: Well, there would be, but I've just spent the hope to launch Bo into a bush. [00:36:29] Speaker A: Either. Either one of you can spend the hope. [00:36:31] Speaker E: I have a hope if you want. I. I have some hope at last. [00:36:37] Speaker F: Yeah. If you're happy to spend the free hope. I'm happy to spend the one to bring Kelphin with me. [00:36:43] Speaker E: Yep. I need one more hope. The one last hope I have to cast Firefly anyway. So. [00:36:48] Speaker F: Okay. Amazing, right? In which case, yeah, I'll like seeing this thing coming past me. I'm going to spin on my heel and then. Where's me? I'll bellow up Kelphin as I run at this robot. [00:37:04] Speaker A: Kelphin nods and he charges after you. [00:37:07] Speaker E: I'll see if I can cast fly. What it does. I have. No, [00:37:13] Speaker C: no. [00:37:14] Speaker E: I don't think anything's twasking there. [00:37:20] Speaker F: Oh, I get to. I get to do a thing as well. [00:37:26] Speaker E: And Kelphin Oh, I need to do a spellcast roll. [00:37:28] Speaker A: Kel can do a roll. [00:37:30] Speaker C: Yeah, [00:37:32] Speaker F: I need. I'm going to be blessed by Artiosa cuz I'm attempting to tackle this thing 21 with hopefulness. [00:37:48] Speaker A: Would you want to stick with the 21 with hope so I don't have to muddle around and try and get kill? Yeah, I mean a 21 with hope will do it. It will. It will get all of those creatures in the area. [00:38:01] Speaker E: We might as well just take that one then. [00:38:03] Speaker F: Yep. Okay, so I'm gonna. 14 damage to it. [00:38:23] Speaker A: 14 damage. [00:38:26] Speaker E: 14. [00:38:27] Speaker A: 14 damage. [00:38:29] Speaker F: 20. 38. [00:38:44] Speaker A: 38. So yes. So I mean with the, with the swarm, I knead. And are you just going after this one? [00:38:56] Speaker F: So I might. Yeah. I'm only going to be able to put like. So me and Kelvin can only put damage into this big old mech that I'm tackling. But the swarm's gonna hit everything else. [00:39:06] Speaker A: This one's gonna hit everything else. Okay, so only the. Only the 14. That Georgia roll is going to hit everything else but a 38. But a 38 is going to get the big one. Okay, and. [00:39:20] Speaker F: But Georgia, you get a hope back because we used my hope result. [00:39:24] Speaker E: Oh, excellent single hope for me. [00:39:28] Speaker A: So with a 38, what does your swarm look like? Virgil. [00:39:35] Speaker E: I imagine Virgil kind of like ducks down and like hurries into this little clear area between all the robots and he kind of straightens out. He kind of like he's got that leafy cloak on that is clearly handmade and he kind of like straightens it a little bit. And then from within the leaves, these bugs start to rise up. And I think in the spell they're fireflies. So they were glowing just a little bit and they just head for the robots and they head for any like internal workings that they can find. Any hole in the armor they go in. [00:40:11] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, with that, all of these, all of these little robots, it doesn't take much for the fireflies to find like little internal beings and literally get to right to the center of them and they just, they just go. And they just all power down and just collapse to the floor. [00:40:33] Speaker F: It's train lightning all over again. [00:40:38] Speaker A: Flashbacks with a. With a 14 on this. With this one mech suit, the one that's closest to Pali. It will. You can see these. This swarm sort of buzzing around inside it and it's obviously like affecting it in some way as it's takes minor damage for that one as well. But this bigger one that is also now infested with all of this is kind of mostly taken, like majority of the swarm. And as they kind of fill up murden, I'm imagining I like, drop low [00:41:12] Speaker F: and it's almost like a rugby tackle around its gangly, swordy, like legs. [00:41:16] Speaker A: Yes. [00:41:16] Speaker F: And as I like pull it out and let Kelly go in with the sword. [00:41:21] Speaker A: Yes, yes, exactly. So that was a 38, was it? Yes, 38. So a 38 is only major damage, but I mean, it's pretty hefty. Yeah. As this, as. As this. As this stuff. Sword mech is pretty much not sure what's sort of happening now as it's losing sort of like, as it's losing stability on its little legs. And because of that, who would like to go next? [00:42:03] Speaker F: Unless Virgil wants to keep it. [00:42:04] Speaker A: Unless Virgil wants. [00:42:06] Speaker E: Could I send Brother. Brother Talons? [00:42:09] Speaker B: Of course. [00:42:10] Speaker E: Can I send him against this. This mech that he's already hovering over? Imagine he's. He's sat on its head and he's pecking wildly at its head. [00:42:18] Speaker C: Yes. [00:42:20] Speaker E: So I'll just send him in quickly to attack. Don't know there's anything to use there. Does an 11 with fear? [00:42:34] Speaker A: Unfortunately not. [00:42:35] Speaker B: No. [00:42:36] Speaker E: Okay. [00:42:36] Speaker C: The. [00:42:37] Speaker E: The beat, the head pecking doesn't help. [00:42:41] Speaker A: Yeah. As this Brother Talons is also trying to sort of get an attack on this thing, but it is sort of jittering so much because of the little fireflies that are in it. He can't seem to get a. Get a target onto it as he's. As he's sort of flying wildly around it. Because you rolled with a fear does mean it's my go. Oh, no, [00:43:03] Speaker D: my hubris. [00:43:07] Speaker A: So this. This one in the. This one in the corner here, the one who has a marked target on [00:43:18] Speaker C: me [00:43:22] Speaker A: is going to come up behind. And he is going to make an attack with his sword arms. [00:43:34] Speaker F: I'm here for a good time, not a long time. [00:43:40] Speaker A: And those are. That's 11. And that is half your evasion as [00:43:57] Speaker F: well, which is four and a half at the moment. So that is a hit. [00:44:03] Speaker A: Is a hit. Okay. So he is going to deal damage. Target not selected. Deal damage. Doesn't matter. We'll do it anyway. So that is. Was that too bad? 15. [00:44:29] Speaker F: 15. Okay. He's stabbing me with his sword arm. [00:44:34] Speaker A: Yeah. He is now slashing at you with his sword arms. [00:44:37] Speaker F: I will cry out like, roar out as I get stabbed and take no damage. [00:44:49] Speaker A: Take no damage because I am unstoppable. [00:44:52] Speaker F: And that was minor. [00:44:55] Speaker A: Okay. Because. Well, because you've taken no damage. I was gonna say that Kelphin has your back and he was going to make an attack, but because you've taken no damage. Yeah. He's not gonna do it. He's gonna be like, you got your. You're all right. Got this, mate. [00:45:13] Speaker F: If anything, I'm just getting angry. [00:45:19] Speaker A: Livy, what are you doing? I can see that little marker. With that, I am going to spend another fear to spotlight this guy coming in close. Oh, no. He's just too far away. And he's just going to approach Virgil. [00:45:48] Speaker B: Yes. [00:45:49] Speaker A: And who would like to go next? [00:45:52] Speaker C: I've got an idea. [00:45:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:45:59] Speaker C: Can I get up this thing? I jump up here. [00:46:05] Speaker A: Yes. [00:46:08] Speaker C: I would look to see the baby. I would like to approach the prince. Well, I'll go up to the dragon and I'll do a little bow and I'll take off my little hat and I'll look ever so charming. [00:46:29] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:46:31] Speaker C: And I go. Oh, howdy. Can I speak with the princess? My beautiful. I mean, she looks like a lady. I mean, she looks hot. [00:46:41] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:46:42] Speaker C: My beautiful guardian, [00:46:50] Speaker A: the. The dragon spawn looks down at you. I want you to roll me a presence check, but I want you to roll with disadvantage because they are highly strung at the moment from what's happening. [00:47:04] Speaker C: Yes. Can I spend a hope to use my experience of silver tongue? [00:47:08] Speaker A: Of course you can. [00:47:09] Speaker C: Thank you very much. [00:47:13] Speaker F: This dragon ball's like. Oh, it speaks [00:47:18] Speaker C: with disadvantage. [00:47:20] Speaker A: Yes. AN 18 refer. The. The Dragonspawn looks down at you. You can see that she is very guarded about the whole situation. But maybe just because you are a dragon scent. She. She's not going to to say outright. No. She is basic. She's going to say whatever you want to say to the princess. You say to me [00:47:56] Speaker B: you're fearless. [00:47:58] Speaker C: I am fearless. Yeah. I just added my. My. [00:48:02] Speaker B: You can change it to hope. [00:48:04] Speaker C: No, I just. If I roll with fear, I gain hope. So I don't change it around. I just. If I roll with fear, you just get courage. Okay. [00:48:18] Speaker B: I've got it as well. You can mark who stress to change it into mine's courage. [00:48:22] Speaker F: It's courage. [00:48:23] Speaker B: Oh, sorry. Cool. That's fine. There's confusion now. [00:48:27] Speaker C: I'm just courageous. I'm just a brave lad. So Beau is going to. To reach into his nomadic pack. [00:48:41] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:48:44] Speaker C: Because once a day I can go into my nomadic pack and I can pick out an item that would be advantage in this situation. [00:48:51] Speaker A: Do you have to spend anything for that? [00:48:54] Speaker C: Just get it once the place for the hope. [00:48:57] Speaker A: I just get it. [00:48:58] Speaker C: I just get it. Reason pack pull out a mundane art is Useful to the situation. [00:49:01] Speaker B: You got to spend a hope. [00:49:03] Speaker C: So that's fine. I can spend a hope for my nomadic pack. And out of the God. A gun. No, [00:49:25] Speaker F: a bigger gun. [00:49:26] Speaker C: Out of the pack he takes out a little sort of little like wooden carved unicorn with like a little horn on it that he's obviously whittled himself at some point and he's going to kind of. I just wanted to give this to the princess. [00:49:52] Speaker A: The dragonspawn, like furrows her brow and she's kind of going like, do you think this is really the time? [00:50:02] Speaker C: Just look. [00:50:02] Speaker E: It's. [00:50:03] Speaker C: It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a good luck charm to help. Help you when it's. When you're, when you, when you're sad and when you're stressed. It's a wari horse. [00:50:16] Speaker A: Guardian. The. The dragonsborne is. Is she. She's still standing in front and she's just wondering what the bloody hell are you doing? But you can sort of peer over her shoulder and you've noticed that the princess is now actually looking over her shoulder and it seems that she is calming down a bit as she sees. As she sees this unicorn that you're holding. [00:50:44] Speaker C: And I think as Bo sees this, he starts talking as if to the Guardian, but it's clear not talking to Guardians and he's just there. Well, this is Dusty. And what you do is you, is you is. You say all your. You just quietly say all your worries to him and he just. He puts them in his little satchel and he keeps them away. So when you get scared, you just have to talk to him. I just wondered if anyone around here would like to. To have a chat with Dusty. [00:51:19] Speaker A: I kind of get the feeling that Livy's had to do this before. [00:51:24] Speaker D: You know, I've got a load of [00:51:25] Speaker C: stuff in my backpack. [00:51:27] Speaker A: Yeah, Yeah. Guardian is. Is. Is looking sort of like really sort of like unsure of what you're trying to do. You can see the. You can see the princess sort of just like is just sort of looking over like she wants. Like she wants to say something. And as she as. As she's kind of entranced by this horse that you've got, this little unicorn that you've got the others so murdered and Virgil Pally, as you are sort of close to these robots, you. You kind of feel like the light in their eyes sort of dim like a little bit as it looks like the, the power that may be going on in them is not as much anymore. [00:52:25] Speaker C: Bo's like Looking at Lucretia like, come on. [00:52:30] Speaker D: That's right. The warry horse. Very helpful when you're sad or scared. She's not done this before. She's like, yes, yes. Has helped me out a lot in the past. The old warrior horse. [00:52:53] Speaker C: What you gotta do, you gotta talk to him. [00:52:57] Speaker F: It's the fact that while this is happening, Mid and Virgil and Pally are fighting for their lives. [00:53:11] Speaker E: Like, sounds of like, muffled warfare behind you. [00:53:16] Speaker C: Nice precious hair that makes me feel ever so nice. [00:53:19] Speaker E: Virgil is being chased by one of the massive robots. [00:53:28] Speaker A: Yeah. So while you two are having this conversation, I am going to spend. I am going to spend a fear. [00:53:35] Speaker C: Sure, [00:53:38] Speaker A: sure. For one of these. For one of these robots to go up to Virgil into melee range and do a swipe at him. [00:53:48] Speaker E: Oh, no, I put ideas in your head, [00:53:57] Speaker A: Actually. No, I'm gonna spend another fear. [00:54:01] Speaker E: Oh, they're all gonna get him. [00:54:06] Speaker A: I'm gonna spend a fear. And this one is also going to mark Virgil as a target. So, Virgil, now your evasion is halved. [00:54:14] Speaker E: My evasion is halved? [00:54:17] Speaker A: Yeah, Just that one. [00:54:22] Speaker C: It'll be marked by that one guy. [00:54:23] Speaker E: Just the one guy. I also have that. That skill, to be fair. [00:54:28] Speaker A: And he is going to attack you. [00:54:31] Speaker E: Okay. Even without evasion, that does not. [00:54:44] Speaker A: So, yeah, you. You've kind of noticed that this. This mech sword has really taken interest in you. And you're just like, nope, Just try to. I'm trying to evade your best away from him. Yeah. Who would like to go? Pally, you've got your hand up. Would you like to take the spotlight? [00:55:05] Speaker B: I do. Yes, please. [00:55:07] Speaker A: I'd like to hit. [00:55:09] Speaker B: Hit the big boy in front of me and use spirit, a weapon again to hit the other boy now because he's close enough for me to hit both. Let's do that. So I'm gonna do that. And I'm going to again put a train since birth experience into that. Let's roll. [00:55:31] Speaker C: Nice. [00:55:33] Speaker A: That is a 27 with fear. That hits both of them. [00:55:36] Speaker B: Okay. I'd like to spend a stress. I spend stress to make that fearless. So that's actually a hope. Now go for it. That's good. [00:55:49] Speaker A: I wanted that fear. [00:55:50] Speaker B: Well, you're not having it. You're not having it then. Yeah. Spirit weapon. So, yeah, let's roll that damage. And I'm gonna add my paradise to it as well. So I'm gonna add my. I've got two or one of the three. So I'm gonna add the three on top of this. Nice. [00:56:16] Speaker A: 23. [00:56:17] Speaker B: So yeah. So yeah, so that's 26 damage with my paradise. [00:56:21] Speaker A: Okay, so 26 in total. So yeah, as you, as you. How does Moon Cleaver look like when you're using it as like a. As like a weapon? [00:56:37] Speaker B: Yeah, I feel like, like normally if I'm hitting this one target or I'm not using a spirit weapon, it was very normal blade. But then when it's being like basically kind of like shoots out of my hand and kind of boomerangs, I think it kind of like shines quite gold. Like, like almost like sunlight is caused like so it almost blinds the attacker as well. At the same time this becomes bright like even like when like sun hits your eyes. If you come out, just out, out into the outside, sun hits you. But like that it's like great ray of sunshine. It just kind of like slams ball boomerangs around and then strikes the other one the same velocity. [00:57:20] Speaker A: Nice, nice. So, yeah, because you are in melee range with this one that you've been twatting on for the past couple of minutes, this one does take the heavier of the blow. And despite 23, 26 only being minor damage, that does take up its last hit point. And it does. And it does sort of just like clank to the ground as this. As Moon Cleaver sort of cleaves its way straight through it. The other one as well will also take minor damage as well. But this one is still looking fairly stable on its feet at the moment. Okay, [00:58:10] Speaker B: cool. [00:58:12] Speaker A: Because you changed that. You changed that to a hope, didn't you? [00:58:16] Speaker B: I did, yeah. So I can, I can continue the spotlight or I can pass it on. [00:58:21] Speaker A: We've got Murden as well next bit. If you want to continue the spotlight. [00:58:25] Speaker B: I was thinking I might just. Just all the time sake. I might hit the one that's hitting Virgil again just so we can see what happens. And I'm just going to do a straight roll this time. Good. This time, 12 of hope. [00:58:45] Speaker A: A 12 with hope unfortunately doesn't hit it. I'm just. And you got it with a hope. Okay, never mind. I was going to see if Roller could help you out, but he can't. [00:59:05] Speaker B: That's right. No worries. [00:59:07] Speaker A: But yeah, you. As soon as like Moon Cleaver has come back to your hands and you try and swipe again, this robot is ready for you and it sort of is able to back away quick enough to evade your attack. Murden, would you like to go next? [00:59:26] Speaker F: Okay, so I've just sort of like rugby tackled one of these Mechs to The ground and Kelphin's laying into it. Seeing one both try to stab Virgil and parry Pally. I'm going to sort of like roll off to the side so I'm in between all three. And then I'm going to recall one of my abilities and with a roar, I'm gonna move body basher back into my thingy. Costa stress and do I care? Am I shaken? [01:00:14] Speaker A: Am I bobbed? [01:00:15] Speaker F: I am bobbed. I've never not bothed. [01:00:20] Speaker D: Has yet to not be buffed. [01:00:24] Speaker F: This whole adventure has been being bought. Okay, so as I sort of like raw and the like, the yellow light, like golden light begins radiating out of a pendant like muscles swelling slightly, I'm going to start quite literally punching into the metal frame of this mech whilst the rune fly out. So. Well, hang on, let me. Let me make a successful attack first. I think this is a beast within moment, so I'll use that experience. That's a 20 with fear. [01:01:07] Speaker A: Yeah, that does. [01:01:07] Speaker F: I'm hoping there's a hit. [01:01:09] Speaker A: Is a hit. [01:01:10] Speaker F: So that's. And then I'm gonna spend my last hope as the rune stones become what is effectively a whirlwind. Right, so the one in front of me will take. 18 damage from fists and then the two. So the one by Virgil. So the mech by Virgil and. And the mech by sort of like Kelphin will take seven damage. [01:01:47] Speaker A: Seven damage. Okay, so with all of those, they are all just minor damage, but they all do take damage, so. So be proud of that. [01:02:03] Speaker F: Oh, correction. [01:02:05] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:02:06] Speaker F: Two more damage to each of them. Yeah, no, two more to the one on the floor and one more to the ones on the sides because of unstoppable. [01:02:15] Speaker A: It's still minor damage. [01:02:16] Speaker F: Okay. [01:02:19] Speaker A: These are hardy boys. [01:02:21] Speaker D: Yes boys. [01:02:26] Speaker C: They have not got any less hardy from. From being a little less lit up. [01:02:33] Speaker A: They might. They might have lost a hit point. You don't know. [01:02:35] Speaker C: Oh, I don't know. [01:02:38] Speaker F: Yeah, that is my turn. [01:02:40] Speaker A: That is your turn. Because you rolled with a Fear, I am going to take that off you. Because you rolled with a fear and you attacked his brethren again. This one with the marked evasion is going to come back up to you again. Again. He is going to have a swipe at with you. Let's bring him back up again. He is going to use a plus three as a protection for sanctuary as one of his experiences, which gives him [01:03:18] Speaker F: a plus three against my hearty evasion of four. [01:03:22] Speaker A: Yes, well, we've seen what had happened to Virgil, so. [01:03:26] Speaker C: Yeah, you never know. [01:03:27] Speaker A: You never know. That was a nine. [01:03:33] Speaker F: That is a hit or something. [01:03:34] Speaker A: That is a hit. He is going to do 3d10 plus 3. So also this other one in front of you, there is another action they have called concentrated fire. Huh. [01:03:56] Speaker F: Tell me more. [01:03:58] Speaker A: So when another adversary deals damage to a target within far range. Huh. This one can mark a stress and also do a standard attack against you as well. So that's gonna be. So that's gonna be 6d10 plus 6. [01:04:13] Speaker F: This is what I live for. [01:04:25] Speaker A: 46. As these. As. As these two meccas absolutely whale on you. [01:04:33] Speaker F: Okay, okay, so hear me out. I'm going to firstly reduce by one because I'm unstoppable down to. So it is severe. I'll reduce it down to major. I'll then spend an armor to reduce down to minor. I'll take one damage as I catch blades in my hands. [01:05:10] Speaker A: But because you have taken damage from an adversary, I will let. I will let Kelphin come in and help you. So he's going to make an attack on one of these as well. Not a D12. I want to do 22, but he does not hit. So while these two are wailing on you, he unfortunately does not hit. [01:05:40] Speaker B: Okay, [01:05:44] Speaker A: who would like to go next? That's fine. [01:05:49] Speaker E: Can I go next? [01:05:52] Speaker A: Yes, you can go next. [01:05:53] Speaker E: Yeah. Thank you. I. I will spend my. My remaining. My one remaining hope to continue to conjure the swarm and do fireflies a second time. [01:06:04] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:06:06] Speaker E: I Is agility is my spell casting stat, isn't it? Is that correct? It's been a while since we've done battle agility. Yes. So that's 13 with hope. [01:06:29] Speaker A: 13 with hope does not hit, unfortunately. [01:06:32] Speaker E: Anyone? [01:06:33] Speaker A: No. No one within close range. No one was in close range anyway. [01:06:41] Speaker D: My boys. [01:06:44] Speaker A: My boys. And because now this mech sword who's in front of you has obviously experienced these before, he is now also going to mark a stress to then use thorn armor. [01:07:03] Speaker C: Oh. [01:07:04] Speaker A: And do 1d10 plus 5 of damage. [01:07:07] Speaker C: Uhoh. [01:07:13] Speaker A: Just a little 13. [01:07:14] Speaker F: 13 damage. [01:07:17] Speaker B: That's okay because I can take that. [01:07:19] Speaker A: Is that Merton's special number? [01:07:21] Speaker F: We're. [01:07:21] Speaker D: We're. [01:07:22] Speaker F: We're. We're playing chicken with I am your shield. [01:07:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:07:32] Speaker F: To be. To be fair, I'm. I'm dual wielding two of them at the moment. [01:07:37] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. I think it makes more narratives if I'm. I am your shielding because I just drop kick the other one. So. Yeah, yeah. So I am your shield. I take stress and yeah, I take your 13 damage, which I can reduce to nothing. [01:07:55] Speaker E: Thank you. So this old man. Thank you [01:08:02] Speaker B: so. Yeah. Yeah. [01:08:09] Speaker E: Can I. Before my round ends, can I also send Brother Talons just as a final hurrah and a hope. Yeah, he's gonna. He's gonna tie this boy over here again. Okay. [01:08:21] Speaker A: Correct. [01:08:26] Speaker E: Attack. [01:08:26] Speaker A: Attack. Oh, he's got a crit. That bird is not having any anymore. [01:08:38] Speaker E: He's so pissed off by these. These beak hurts from all the pecking. [01:08:44] Speaker A: It's. [01:08:45] Speaker B: He's truly the one who has no to give. Let's be honest. [01:08:52] Speaker E: He's all of murder Talons. [01:08:56] Speaker A: How much damage does Brother Talons do? Let's find out on a. [01:09:02] Speaker B: Can you tag team companion. [01:09:08] Speaker D: This bloody owl. [01:09:12] Speaker B: I love this owl so much. [01:09:15] Speaker F: That's as much as two of those mechs did to me. And he's just done it with his forehead. [01:09:25] Speaker A: I will say that 46 is severe damage. So as this. As this sword, as Brother Talons just plows right in as just dives bomb into this mech soldier. It just goes like that and he goes right through this sort of shining eyeball and right back out the other side as this. This thing just. Just fizzles and collapses. [01:10:01] Speaker D: That's incredible. [01:10:02] Speaker E: Just lands on its. Its crashed body and just like cleans his feathers. [01:10:09] Speaker D: That's amazing. Oh, love that. [01:10:15] Speaker F: Oh, I need to start worshiping Brother Talons. [01:10:22] Speaker E: When the gods aren't here. Here he is. [01:10:28] Speaker A: Lucretia, you have your hand up next. [01:10:30] Speaker D: I did. I'm not so sure what I want to do now. Feeling a bit all aflutter. Does it look like those little robots up in that corner up there are gonna do anything? Because they've been very still for a long time. [01:10:47] Speaker A: They may jump up. [01:10:48] Speaker D: They may jump up. Don't like that. In that case, I think Lucretia, she's trying to decide, is she. Is she gonna. How. How much does Beau look like? He's got this. Has Beau got this? [01:11:07] Speaker A: Look at me, child? [01:11:10] Speaker D: Because Lucretia doesn't feel she's got a lot to add. You know, Beau's doing his Gordon Ramsay act where he's lovely to children, but then shoots everybody else in the face. He's like, really got away with kids. She's quite impressed. She says to Lainey, do you mind that we're just destroying all your creations right now? Is that. Is that all right for survival purposes mainly as one of the robots behind [01:11:39] Speaker A: you just crashes to. [01:11:41] Speaker F: To the floor [01:11:44] Speaker C: for the talent goggles on. [01:11:46] Speaker A: You can see that she's like. [01:11:48] Speaker D: Well, I, you know, you know, the princess. What would calm her? What soothed her [01:11:56] Speaker A: I mean. I mean, your friend seems to be doing a pretty good job. She does like horses. [01:12:01] Speaker D: Brilliant. Beau, you've got this. And she jumps down. She's gonna jump down into the middle of all these little guys and she's going to. I believe she's going to mark a stress to draw a little rune circle around her. So she grabs her great staff and she sort of just starts turning in a circle very rapidly, drawing a circle of power around herself. And that is going to deal out. Sorry, let me just double check the details on this one. Oh, yeah, I need. I think I've marked. Have I marked distress yet? No. She's going to deal out to every adversary in melee range. They're going to take 2d12 plus 4 magic damage and be knocked back to very close range. So she's just gonna plop them all back with her. Her rune circle. How do I deal 2d12 damage? Is it in the. Oh, there it is. There it is. How do I. Wait a minute. [01:13:20] Speaker A: There should be. If you touch the little arrow next to rune circle. [01:13:25] Speaker D: Yeah, you should have. [01:13:25] Speaker A: Have a button that says Emanation Melee. [01:13:27] Speaker D: Yes, that's it. [01:13:30] Speaker A: That should roll. [01:13:31] Speaker D: Hold on. So, yeah, it gets. It gets all of them. Yeah, Pretty sure. But how do I. Actually, [01:13:41] Speaker F: if you. You might just have to pop it into the chat. Yeah, like roll it. [01:13:45] Speaker D: Can you help? Oh, here we go, here we go, Here we go. 2D 12 plus 4. Plus 4. Can I just put that into the formula? Yeah. [01:13:58] Speaker A: Oh, 26. 26. Yes. With a. With a 26. As. As these little robots are all blown back. [01:14:10] Speaker D: Not Lainey. I don't want to blow Lainey back. [01:14:12] Speaker A: No, Lainey won't get blown back. As all of these little robots get blown back, they also just evaporate. [01:14:18] Speaker D: They just go. [01:14:21] Speaker A: Yeah. So they. They are all destroyed as your. As your magic. What does. What does this look like? [01:14:30] Speaker D: I think it's. It's. Lucretia's a big fan of purple. It's purple. It's a purple glowing line that she draws around herself and then there's a little. And it all like explodes outwards and. Yeah. Into a big flash of energy. [01:14:47] Speaker F: Superhero three point landing, basically. [01:14:51] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:14:53] Speaker A: Amazing. Yeah. So, yeah, with that you are able to. And Lainey sort of. You can see she's got tears in her eyes. [01:15:02] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:15:02] Speaker A: From you just sort of destroying all her robots. But she's also very understanding that this was probably for the best. [01:15:10] Speaker D: Yeah. I think. I think Lucretia isn't taking obvious delight in this. It just has to be done. Yes. And then I think she's also gonna keep moving if she's allowed to do that. [01:15:21] Speaker A: Yeah, you're allowed to keep moving. [01:15:22] Speaker D: She's going to sort of move a little bit closer to see what's happening to her boys. [01:15:28] Speaker A: Okay, cool, cool. Who would like to go next? You would like to take the spotlight? [01:15:38] Speaker C: I mean, I continue to try and charm Riz. [01:15:43] Speaker F: The princess. [01:15:44] Speaker C: Princess. Okay. [01:15:53] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:15:54] Speaker C: As. [01:15:54] Speaker A: As you. As you've been talking a little bit more. The, the tool aquin sprite has also sort of joined, sort of protecting the princess from you. Has kind of caused this barrier between you and the princess, but is more interested in what you're doing rather than [01:16:13] Speaker C: sort of stopping you come to see the war. Can I use my rogish skills to do a close up magic trick? Oh, with the horse? [01:16:31] Speaker A: With the horse. Let's see. [01:16:39] Speaker C: Go on. I've got, got agility, I've got nimble, I've got little fingers. [01:16:44] Speaker A: I think that would be a finesse. [01:16:47] Speaker C: Finesse roll. [01:16:48] Speaker A: A finesse roll for me, please. [01:16:49] Speaker C: I need to do a finesse roll [01:16:52] Speaker A: to do a little magic trick for the princess. [01:16:54] Speaker C: Let's do a finesse roll and see what happens. So the attempt is going to be the old horse in the hand and then he's going to put it into his hat and then blow into it, [01:17:08] Speaker A: pull out big horse [01:17:13] Speaker C: and then the horse will disappear and then. [01:17:16] Speaker A: Okay, so I mean, is the horse going to come back? I think you've just shown this wonderful horse and then it disappears. [01:17:26] Speaker D: It's the whole. That's the prestige, Nathan. When it comes back, [01:17:33] Speaker C: there's two horses with finesse. Yes. So I've been rolling like absolute 17 with hope. [01:17:44] Speaker A: Yep. Yeah. Tell me what. You tell me how this looks like. [01:17:49] Speaker C: So he's got his little horse and he's going to say, Now this little guy, he appears when people like, well, he's. He's gonna go to sleep. Sleep. Now he throws the horse up, catches it with his cowboy hat and then puts his hand over it. And then he takes his hand away and then tips his hat and shows his hat to the audience. Can you see anything in the hat? Can you. Can you. [01:18:37] Speaker D: Ma', am? [01:18:37] Speaker C: Ma', am, can you see anything in the hat? The. [01:18:40] Speaker A: The dragonspawn is not impressed. The. The aquin sprite is like an adult trying to sort of act impressed, but is obviously not impressed. It's just like. Yes. But the princess, you can see, is like fully looking over guardian's shoulder and it's just. [01:19:00] Speaker C: Oh, wow. Do we want to bring Dusty back? [01:19:08] Speaker A: And you can. You can see the. The princess just nodding enthusiastically. [01:19:18] Speaker E: Tall. [01:19:19] Speaker C: Is this dragon scent guardian? [01:19:22] Speaker A: She's pretty tall. [01:19:23] Speaker D: Massive. [01:19:24] Speaker A: She's massive. [01:19:27] Speaker C: I won't be able to get behind her ear then. [01:19:30] Speaker A: You could probably get behind. [01:19:32] Speaker D: Come down. [01:19:33] Speaker A: I mean, you're four foot. She's probably like about. She's probably like about nine, ten foot. [01:19:40] Speaker D: You could. You could probably convince Rondanisa to bend down a bit. [01:19:43] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:19:45] Speaker C: Yeah. I think you've done something behind your ear, ma'. [01:19:50] Speaker E: Am. [01:19:52] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:19:52] Speaker A: Rondonisa, just. Lady Rondonisa sort of bends down and [01:19:56] Speaker C: you just get in and it just obviously he slips it out of his sleeve again. [01:20:00] Speaker E: He's like. [01:20:04] Speaker A: And the princess is like. Like that. [01:20:08] Speaker C: If only he had somewhere somebody that would look after him. He just keeps running away from me. Only there was a little girl that [01:20:15] Speaker A: could look after him with saying, if only there was like a little girl. You can see the. The smile of the princess as she looks over the dragonfly born shoulder. As the. Again, the. The four. The three of you, Murden, Virgil and Pally. You kind of see the. The sort of light in the. In the robots down below. You fade a little bit more as it looks like it might not take very much else to stop them. [01:20:48] Speaker D: Nice. [01:20:50] Speaker C: Continue battling. [01:20:51] Speaker F: Pally and Maiden immediately put their hands up for a turn. [01:20:57] Speaker C: They're nearly dead by the power of friendship. [01:21:03] Speaker B: Well, well, if. [01:21:05] Speaker A: If. [01:21:06] Speaker B: If Dan would like. I do have free hope if you would like to tag team and then we can finish up. [01:21:13] Speaker F: Oh, yes, let's do. [01:21:15] Speaker B: Let's do that. [01:21:16] Speaker C: And don't forget to invite a friend. [01:21:19] Speaker F: Don't. [01:21:19] Speaker D: Oh, yes. [01:21:21] Speaker B: Yeah. And I can lose the last of my stress to get rid of these bloody robots. I could be very stressed, but alive. Let's do that. [01:21:33] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:21:34] Speaker B: I'd like to do a tag team. Dan, what do you think best thing would be to do regarding tag team in terms of how we would do it together? Because I was just gonna use spirit weapon again so I can hit two. [01:21:46] Speaker F: Well, if you can spirit weapon to hit two, I can whirlwind to hit two. [01:21:51] Speaker B: So maybe your whirlwind allows it to kind of do a big something. [01:21:57] Speaker F: I. I imagine. Yeah, we. We come in from. From like different directions and then pass each other like Sonic and Shadow in the. Yeah. [01:22:09] Speaker D: And what's Kelphin doing in all of this? [01:22:12] Speaker F: We will have no hope. So he's just standing and watching. [01:22:14] Speaker D: He's just. Oh, he's just cucking. Okay. [01:22:18] Speaker A: I mean, Kelphin's not too bad. It's. Rollo's done bloody nothing. He's like, I'm here too. [01:22:25] Speaker D: Wait a minute. What can Roller do? Let's have a look as well. You can create advantage and give you [01:22:33] Speaker A: an advantage if we flop. [01:22:35] Speaker F: This I've used. [01:22:39] Speaker B: I've given myself to hope with my paradise as well. So I have that spare. [01:22:43] Speaker C: Oh, so we can get. [01:22:45] Speaker F: Yeah, okay. [01:22:45] Speaker C: What's his face. [01:22:48] Speaker B: Cool. [01:22:49] Speaker F: So well, spend both. Hope we can have them all in [01:22:52] Speaker E: all four of us. [01:22:52] Speaker D: Yeah, get them all in all the boys. [01:22:54] Speaker B: All right. Sure. [01:22:56] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:22:58] Speaker B: So so basically I roll without hope on my normal roll. And then if we hit, I can then add two Hope three, Hope to get Kelvin and Roller to hit as well. Right. Is that the plan? [01:23:12] Speaker D: Roller will give. Will cause a distraction to give you both advantage. [01:23:18] Speaker B: Okay. [01:23:18] Speaker D: So I can add advantage, then Kelphin will join in. [01:23:21] Speaker B: Okay, cool. That's fine. So I have advantage on this roll basically, though? That's what I'm asking. [01:23:25] Speaker F: Yes. Yeah, we both gotage. [01:23:27] Speaker B: Nice. [01:23:28] Speaker C: Everyone rolls if it's tag team. [01:23:31] Speaker F: Yeah, nice. [01:23:31] Speaker A: Three men and a baby. Here we go. [01:23:37] Speaker B: It's a 22 of hope on my end. [01:23:38] Speaker A: Any two with hope. [01:23:45] Speaker B: So my boy is going to be in me moving in. [01:23:48] Speaker F: Okay, we'll go with your 22 with hope. [01:23:52] Speaker B: So I. I would have moved into range just so. [01:23:55] Speaker F: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [01:23:58] Speaker B: So yeah, use my 22 with hope then. So rolling damage, everyone. [01:24:03] Speaker C: Roll those bones. [01:24:06] Speaker D: Oh, that's looking pretty good. [01:24:10] Speaker F: Yeah, that's 1931. That's pretty healthy, [01:24:19] Speaker A: giving you a 12. [01:24:22] Speaker F: Oh, hang on, wait. Because we're doing this across multiple people, aren't we? [01:24:26] Speaker B: Oh, my God, yes. So it's 19 plus 31. [01:24:31] Speaker D: 50 plus 16. [01:24:35] Speaker F: Okay, hang on. [01:24:36] Speaker D: Any extras for your unstoppable Dan? [01:24:39] Speaker F: Yeah, so unstoppable. Let's. Let's get the abacus out. So done. 31 and 19. [01:24:50] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:24:51] Speaker F: And then pally, you do 19 to the other one. Oh, and then I do [01:24:58] Speaker A: half of [01:24:59] Speaker F: mine to the other one. So that's 15. So that's 19 and that's 15. And then what. What's. How much is Kelvin done? [01:25:09] Speaker A: 12. [01:25:09] Speaker F: 12. [01:25:10] Speaker B: Just 12 on one of them? [01:25:11] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, just 12 on one of them. [01:25:13] Speaker F: Cool, let's put it on that one. So one of them. So the one next to me has just taken 50 damage. [01:25:21] Speaker A: 50 damage. Cool. [01:25:22] Speaker F: The one next to Pally. Cash. 50. 35, 45. 46 to the one next to Pally. [01:25:32] Speaker C: Yes. [01:25:34] Speaker A: Well, I will say as. As the three of you. [01:25:38] Speaker F: Sorry. 52 and 47. [01:25:44] Speaker A: Okay. So as. As the four of you take this sort of like this. This. This shudder and this sort of fading of this bright green light that's coming from them in their eyes. And as a sign that this could all very well be over, you both do you all do severe damage to both of them, completely annihilating the both of them as they are. As they are trampled down into scrap. [01:26:19] Speaker D: Lainey is just weeping on stage [01:26:25] Speaker A: as. As the princess is not even paying attention as she sort of. She reaches out to Yubo for this wooden unicorn. Do you hand it to. [01:26:38] Speaker C: Yeah. No, she can have Dusty. She back [01:26:45] Speaker D: use it for the next [01:26:46] Speaker A: cantankerous princess as she takes Dusty and she. And she. She kind of sniffs and you can see her really calm down and look at you. And she goes, thank you. As. As the. As Murden, Pally. Virgil. Virgil. You looking at Brother Talons as he's just huffing and puffing over this one of these mechs with rage in his eyes. What a good kelphin. And Rollo sort of look up at you. Murden and Pally with exhausted. But almost like a new lease of life has come into them. Like they. Like it's. Something has come back to them that they've forgotten from a long time.
