[00:04:30] Speaker A: And my name is nate and I'll be the gm for this adventure. So we will get straight back into it, folks. You are up against two shadow swords, three of these flying shadows, and also this large ax wielding behemoth of a shadow that you have met before and you believe was actually the conduit that got you into Sanctuary in the first place. But now what does it mean for the five of you and Brother Talons that he is. That he is here now. [00:05:30] Speaker E: Wow. Yeah. [00:05:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:34] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:05:35] Speaker A: So I think in combat we left it with Pally. So Pally, would you like to go next? [00:05:42] Speaker F: I do one final thing as Virgil. Can I just send Brother Talonson? [00:05:49] Speaker A: Yes. [00:05:51] Speaker E: One shot, Daddy. Axe hands with. Yeah. He's going in. [00:05:55] Speaker F: He's heading off. [00:05:56] Speaker A: Yeah, go for it. [00:05:58] Speaker F: Cool. Yeah. He's. He's going to attack. Foul boy. Can I use any of those? Can I do death from above? [00:06:17] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:18] Speaker A: Who. Who are you aiming for? [00:06:21] Speaker F: I'm. I'm attacking Big Daddy. [00:06:23] Speaker A: Oh, blimey. Okay. [00:06:25] Speaker E: Wow. Papa. [00:06:28] Speaker B: Large Papa. [00:06:30] Speaker F: Is that. [00:06:31] Speaker E: Funnily enough, that's such a good role is the sound. Brother Talons is going to make when he impacts on Danny. [00:06:37] Speaker A: I mean, a 28 with hope does. [00:06:40] Speaker E: Does hit unstoppable Owl. [00:06:45] Speaker F: Virgil is. Brother Talons is familiar. [00:06:48] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:06:51] Speaker C: Virgil is the silly sidekick. Yeah. To be honest, yeah. [00:06:55] Speaker A: It's almost like Brother Talons is just. I like to think that he's just standing on the floor and then as soon as this big behemoth of a shadow, his head just goes. [00:07:07] Speaker B: No. [00:07:08] Speaker C: No. [00:07:11] Speaker A: So, yeah, go for it. [00:07:13] Speaker E: Here we go. [00:07:22] Speaker F: Get him. [00:07:24] Speaker A: Get him. [00:07:24] Speaker F: Oh, I have to roll. How do I roll? Attack. Oh, like that. Oh, I. I rolled an action roll rather than an attack roll. That was okay. Stupid of me. [00:07:36] Speaker A: That's fine. Just roll. Brother Talons damage. [00:07:40] Speaker F: I think that's. [00:07:42] Speaker A: Is that right? [00:07:46] Speaker D: You can now click damage. [00:07:47] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Now click damage. [00:07:49] Speaker F: Pretend seamlessly blended together. [00:07:52] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:07:53] Speaker A: As soon as you blended in at 23. Yes. So a 23 is minor damage. As. As this shadow. As this large shadow with axe hands sort of. Sort of rages in through the woods and rages into the forest as Brother Talons just literally just bolts for him like a bull out of a gate. He goes straight through him. And while. And while it doesn't look like there's been too much damage made, there's definitely something as this. As the shadow sort of recoils back and can hear a little just coming deep from inside it, my boy. [00:08:42] Speaker B: Right. [00:08:45] Speaker A: Anything else? [00:08:47] Speaker F: Just that. [00:08:48] Speaker A: Just that. We will move on to Palli then, Pally. [00:08:51] Speaker B: Okay. Well, I was going to attack one of the Shadow swords, but now Ax Daddy is here, I might as well attack Ax Daddy. So. Yeah, so he's going to charge towards Axady, who's in close range. I will need to roll her over Trinity though, as you will do. Yes. So let me just roll that and see how that goes. Is that just a reaction or a normal roll? I forgot. [00:09:19] Speaker A: It is a normal roll. Okay, cool. [00:09:23] Speaker B: S2. Not great. [00:09:28] Speaker A: It's a seven with fear. With a seven with fear, I roll a D6. [00:09:38] Speaker B: What does that mean? Dan? Dan. [00:09:43] Speaker C: What's Nathan doing? Dan? [00:09:48] Speaker F: Inside of knowledge. What's he doing? [00:09:50] Speaker A: You know, as. As you make your charge towards this figure. [00:09:57] Speaker C: Whoa. [00:09:58] Speaker A: You. Your focus is completely on the attack and not noticing what is below your feet as it's below your feet. You don't realize that you start stepping on like these hidden mushrooms as they produce these spores around you. So if I move you up to. If I move you up to thingy, I am going to put a little thing around you in very close range. So you're. Now you're. Now you And Brother Talons are now surrounded by these spores. And because you rolled with a fail, so you're. You're currently now vulnerable. [00:10:41] Speaker E: Whoa. [00:10:42] Speaker A: Because of these spores are blocking your view and they're getting into your lungs and you're. You're finding it hard to breathe and you're finding it hard to see. And because you rolled with a fear, I need you to gain one stress as well because. Okay. And I put fail instead of fear in that. So. Yeah. [00:11:02] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:11:02] Speaker A: But pally, as you, as. As these spores are like getting into your eyes and, and making it hard for you to. To see what's in front of you, it's almost like you. You sort of look to the ground as sort of like you're trying to wipe the tears away from your eyes. And the ground beneath you has changed. It's no longer this sort of dark, murky grass. It's almost like, like very fine architectural pavement, but that has been cracked and exploded and, and all sorts of damage has been done to it. Like very recent damage has been done to this, to this pathway. And as you. As you look up, you can see your vision sort of fading from like the forest to like fire. And you can almost see like buildings. There's like fire and burning. And you can almost feel the heat as you're in these spores around you. But you can you. But you're now up to the shadow to the. To the shadowy figure if you want to make an attack. [00:12:15] Speaker B: I feel like I still should. I think he would instantly still feel like he needs to do something useful. So. Yeah, he will swing an axe. Daddy, remind me in terms of vulnerable, what effects that has in regards. If I. I imagine that means that there's a. There's advantage on me being here. [00:12:36] Speaker A: Yeah, it means that. So. Yeah. Cool. [00:12:39] Speaker B: That's fine. I can, I can cope with that. Yeah. I'm gonna hit with moon cleaver then. And I'm going to add train since birth to that. Actually. I'm also going to add because I have enough hope, incredible strength as well make sure we hit. So I'm gonna roll [00:13:05] Speaker A: a 22 with hope. A 22 with hope does hit. As you as. As you are just trying to as like you believe that none of this is making any sense as you're wiping the spores out from your eyes. It's still quite hazy while you're currently in this like this cloud of spores, but through it you get this clear vision of this large hulkering figure almost like it's not a shadow anymore. There's almost Like a little bit more of like a figure to it. [00:13:40] Speaker B: Okay. [00:13:40] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:41] Speaker B: Interesting. Now keep that in mind. [00:13:47] Speaker D: Well, probably, probably. [00:13:53] Speaker B: So that's 20 damage. [00:13:54] Speaker A: 20 damage. Let's go back. So a 20 damage is minor damage. So yeah, it's. It's you kind of almost seeing this more physical figure gives you sort of like a little bit more incentive to kind of get in there and you are able to make contact as you. As you sort of are able to bring up Moon cleaver and swing it into the waistband of this. Of this figure. [00:14:25] Speaker B: Okay, cool. [00:14:29] Speaker A: Anything else [00:14:32] Speaker B: at this point? I mean it might be silly. I think I'm going to stay because I'd rather him be hitting me than anybody else. Even if I am vulnerable because I have the armor slots to deal with that a lot of you do not. So I'm. I'm happy to be a punching badge bag for now if needed. Yes. I'm going to be just ready. Just keep on, keep on. [00:15:00] Speaker A: Okay. [00:15:01] Speaker B: I'm happy to move on my. On my turn some. Yes. [00:15:06] Speaker A: Who was next? Was it Murden or Bo Merden? [00:15:10] Speaker D: Yeah. Okay. So first things first. Seeing the. All of these shadows that have just sprung up in a matter of seconds, I'm going to. So I grab the amulet around my neck and the runes that orbit me glow a bit more. [00:15:33] Speaker A: Just before you start that. Because there was two. Because there's been two successful hits with Hope. The clock is ticking down. I forgot about that. Go on, Dan. Well. Well. [00:15:52] Speaker D: So yeah, the. The runestones will fly around me to provide me some physical protection. And then I'm going to take one solitary step forward. [00:16:08] Speaker A: Could you roll me an agility please? [00:16:10] Speaker B: No. [00:16:11] Speaker E: Even for one step? [00:16:13] Speaker A: Even for one step. [00:16:15] Speaker D: Don't wanna. [00:16:20] Speaker F: Quit. [00:16:23] Speaker E: Good work. [00:16:23] Speaker C: The best step you ever stepped. [00:16:25] Speaker A: Boom. [00:16:25] Speaker D: Oh, that means I. I clear off the stress. [00:16:29] Speaker A: You do clear off a stress because it's a crit. Yes. You effortlessly spring across the. [00:16:38] Speaker D: Eat this floors [00:16:42] Speaker A: like a Hoover. [00:16:44] Speaker D: Okay. So I've stepped forward. The runes are spinning around me. And then I sort of like fire them towards the creepy shadow thing just a bit further up. [00:16:57] Speaker B: So. [00:16:57] Speaker D: Hand runes. That's a 13 with fear. [00:17:05] Speaker A: 13 with fear. Unfortunately, a 13 with fear does not hit. I'm afraid this. This, this little. This little being has noticed your other friend trying to shoot at it. And it's a little bit more quicker it seems than other people and is able to sort of evade your rune attack because you rolled with fear. I'm going to take the spotlight the. The large figure because it had see, because it has taken this hit from Pali. I'm going to spend two hope. No, not to hope, to fear. [00:17:50] Speaker D: It was good knowing you, pally. [00:17:54] Speaker A: And I'm gonna do a mana drain on Pally. Pally, I need you to do a knowledge reaction roll. [00:18:04] Speaker E: Oh, damn thing. [00:18:05] Speaker B: I have nothing of. [00:18:09] Speaker E: Oh, damn. [00:18:10] Speaker B: Interesting. Interesting. Can I. Can I use any of my experiences as reactions? [00:18:19] Speaker A: Yeah, it's a reaction. [00:18:21] Speaker B: Let's go. [00:18:23] Speaker E: Nice. [00:18:24] Speaker C: He's drunk. [00:18:25] Speaker D: You like a Capri Sun? [00:18:27] Speaker E: Holy. No, no, no, no. So that was an action roll. I. [00:18:32] Speaker A: It's a reaction roll. [00:18:33] Speaker E: Well, a reaction roll, so. Okay, fine. [00:18:39] Speaker A: Pally, could you remove all your hope, please? [00:18:44] Speaker D: No. [00:18:46] Speaker B: It's nice knowing you all and. [00:18:51] Speaker E: No, stop it. [00:18:53] Speaker D: Remove. [00:18:54] Speaker B: Add audio all your health points. Oh, that's not. [00:18:58] Speaker A: Could you take 24 direct magic damage? [00:19:02] Speaker E: Are you kidding? [00:19:04] Speaker B: Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Okay, wait a minute. [00:19:09] Speaker E: So what did he did? Did he just attack or anything like that? Was that. [00:19:14] Speaker A: Yeah, he did a mana drain. He's done a mana drain on Pali. [00:19:18] Speaker E: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he. He didn't actually roll an attack, did he? [00:19:23] Speaker A: Now I just spend too fair. [00:19:24] Speaker E: God damn right. The things I could have done about that do not apply. Oh, man. [00:19:33] Speaker B: Okay, that's fine. [00:19:35] Speaker A: It's fine. You shouldn't have hit him in the side. Oh, hang on. Wait. [00:19:40] Speaker E: That. [00:19:40] Speaker B: I can't use armor slots for direct. Okay, okay, we're good. We're good. [00:19:45] Speaker E: Is it still fine? Are you sure? [00:19:47] Speaker B: Yeah, still fine. If I start sweating, then we'll all know. If I go very quiet, I think that's when you'll know. I'm fine. [00:19:56] Speaker D: I wanna. [00:19:57] Speaker B: I want to use the. The death saving rules at some point. I'm fine. It's cool. Let's just see what happens. [00:20:02] Speaker A: See what happens. [00:20:03] Speaker E: I told you we should have run away. [00:20:10] Speaker B: Hang on, mate. I am vulnerable. Does that mean anything? [00:20:13] Speaker A: Not for this one. No, that's only. That's only when I go for attack rather than damage. [00:20:18] Speaker B: Okay, cool. [00:20:19] Speaker C: Okay. [00:20:19] Speaker E: Is a reaction roll a type of action roll or is it different? [00:20:25] Speaker C: It has no hope or fear. [00:20:27] Speaker E: Yeah, you get no hope or fear because. Would my reassurance have worked? [00:20:32] Speaker A: What's your reassurance? [00:20:34] Speaker E: So that's when. When an ally attempts an action roll, but before the consequences take place, you can offer assistance or words of support, which is why I was asking before we talked about the consequences. Is that an action he just did? [00:20:49] Speaker A: No, because that would be for an action role, like attacking or doing an ability or something like that. But because this is a reaction role, it doesn't count. [00:20:57] Speaker E: Understood. [00:20:58] Speaker B: Okay. [00:20:58] Speaker E: Thank you. I just wanted to make sure that [00:21:02] Speaker A: is quite all right. And also with that he is going to spend another fear. [00:21:08] Speaker E: No, Stop it. [00:21:12] Speaker A: And he's going to. And he's going to summon another. [00:21:19] Speaker E: Oh, cool. [00:21:19] Speaker A: Shadow sword to come out. [00:21:22] Speaker E: Join the party. [00:21:23] Speaker F: So we're running, right? [00:21:25] Speaker E: We're. I think that's a fabulous idea. And that's what the world stands spirit did. And they're very powerful. [00:21:33] Speaker F: They know what's what. So I mean, let's [00:21:38] Speaker A: bow. You'll go. [00:21:41] Speaker C: What are we doing? Are we running tactical retreat? Do you want to do a tactical retreat or. [00:21:45] Speaker E: Well, I can't do a lot. [00:21:47] Speaker C: Countdown is countdowning. [00:21:48] Speaker E: It's countdowning. Every time I cast a spell, it's going to keep countdowning. [00:21:55] Speaker C: Yeah, but if you count down with. With Hope, then surely the countdown is [00:22:00] Speaker B: every time we hit with Hope. Not Stuart. [00:22:04] Speaker E: But when we last met the Axe Daddy, he. There was also a countdown that was going down every time anybody used magic. And it was. [00:22:15] Speaker B: So we should probably find out [00:22:19] Speaker A: if [00:22:19] Speaker B: we hit him with magic first. Just once. [00:22:22] Speaker F: Just once. [00:22:23] Speaker B: And if it's just just one and [00:22:25] Speaker C: you've got loads of. You've got loads of hope. And if he's gonna drain Hope like a Capri sun, we might as well do attack team. And you spend three of your hope. [00:22:32] Speaker E: Yeah. Okay. Sorry. [00:22:36] Speaker C: On what. [00:22:36] Speaker E: What are we gonna do? [00:22:38] Speaker B: Attack the Axe Hands. [00:22:40] Speaker E: Tag team. Daddy. Axe Hands. Okay. You can. [00:22:42] Speaker C: You can magic my bullets anytime. [00:22:47] Speaker E: I can magic. I can magic your bullets. That is true. One of us has to get to the other. So who has better agility or unless we don't have to get to each other. Can we tag team? [00:22:59] Speaker C: If we both have far range, then you can. [00:23:01] Speaker E: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna magic the heck out of your bullets. Beau Beauregard. It is time for the team up of the century. [00:23:10] Speaker F: Let's go. [00:23:11] Speaker E: We're tag teaming. If Bo does a tag team, he's [00:23:15] Speaker C: a D20 for his hook dice. So I get a bigger. [00:23:22] Speaker E: And what does. Are we spending all of my hope is that's what three of your hope. Yeah. [00:23:28] Speaker C: Okay. [00:23:29] Speaker E: They're gone. [00:23:29] Speaker C: I just feel like we should probably just spend our hope before. [00:23:31] Speaker E: Let's just spend them. I spent the hope and what now? [00:23:37] Speaker C: So we just need to do. You're gonna roll your attack. [00:23:42] Speaker D: Well, I mean whatever ability you want to use, whether it's. [00:23:45] Speaker C: Or whatever. [00:23:46] Speaker E: I was. I was gonna. I probably. I could probably. I could either use my knowledge or just do my great staff Attack. [00:23:55] Speaker C: And it would take whatever. Whatever is a better hit. [00:24:00] Speaker E: Okay. [00:24:00] Speaker D: I mean, you could do. So you could pair it with like your power push that you just used. [00:24:05] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:24:09] Speaker E: I was thinking just. Just using. Using my great stuff. That'll do. But then my knowledge would also do. Let's do it. [00:24:20] Speaker A: Okay, so you got a 20 with fear. [00:24:23] Speaker E: Can I use my wanders in the strain experience? Because. Yeah, I love this. So I do. I spend a stress to do that. [00:24:33] Speaker A: You spend a hope to do that. [00:24:35] Speaker E: Another hope. [00:24:36] Speaker D: Well, no, as a. If you. [00:24:38] Speaker E: Goodness. [00:24:38] Speaker D: If you spend a stress instead of a hope, as a knowledge wizard, you get double the experience. [00:24:42] Speaker E: I do. So I'm gonna spend stress instead to get double. So I'll add an extra two to whatever I roll now. [00:24:48] Speaker A: Nice, nice, nice, nice. [00:24:50] Speaker E: Okay, so. [00:24:55] Speaker A: Okay, so. [00:24:56] Speaker E: So 25 with fear. And I think. Think I'm going to mark too stressed to change that fear to a. No, I'm not. I'm not going to change it to hope. Ha. You almost got me. It might be good. [00:25:09] Speaker A: We might. [00:25:09] Speaker C: The countdown might be that it's a good thing that they might just. Just disappear after we roll with countdown. [00:25:15] Speaker F: Notoriously good. [00:25:17] Speaker E: Yeah. No, no, no. I'm going to keep it as fear. [00:25:20] Speaker F: Okay. [00:25:21] Speaker E: It's a 25 with fear. [00:25:23] Speaker A: 25 with fear. Say yeah, yeah, we'll take that role. [00:25:26] Speaker C: We'll take a 25. [00:25:27] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah, yeah, I'll take that fear. That is a hit. Yes, that is a hit. [00:25:34] Speaker E: What do we do now about the damage? What happens? [00:25:37] Speaker C: So you roll your damage, I roll my damage, and we both have damage. [00:25:42] Speaker E: Okay. [00:25:46] Speaker D: Holy moly. [00:25:48] Speaker A: Holy moly. [00:25:48] Speaker C: Mine's 37. [00:25:50] Speaker A: 37. [00:25:51] Speaker E: Only 7. [00:25:51] Speaker A: 16. [00:25:52] Speaker E: What's this thing about my. My staff being powerful, though? What does it say? It says on a successful attack, roll an additional damage, die, and. Which I think it's already done. And discard. The lowest result. The computer's done it for me. 16. [00:26:07] Speaker A: Okay, 16. [00:26:08] Speaker D: So, so 37. 47. 53 damage. [00:26:12] Speaker A: 53 damage. 53 damage. [00:26:18] Speaker E: Say minor. [00:26:21] Speaker A: His major damage. [00:26:24] Speaker E: 53 is major. Jeez. [00:26:26] Speaker C: Okay. [00:26:27] Speaker A: As. As. As Bo sort of like takes a couple of shots towards it. And Lucretia, I'm guessing that you are. [00:26:42] Speaker E: GS [00:26:45] Speaker A: and taking a couple of hits into this. Into this big behemoth of a shadow standing in front of pally and brother Talons. Because you rolled with a fear. I'm gonna have a little go. Yeah, sure I am. Let's have a little. [00:27:16] Speaker B: He. [00:27:16] Speaker A: This little. This little flying shadow here is gonna go sort of like come up the. The Most fearful sound ever is gonna. Is gonna come up between you Merden and you, Virgil, and he is going to do a little magic burst. He's gonna mark a stress, and he is going to roll. Does a four hit. [00:27:54] Speaker C: Oh, cute. [00:27:56] Speaker D: No, it doesn't. I was just expecting it to hit me. [00:28:03] Speaker A: So he. He. He's kind of. He's come up, and he's just kind of, between the two of you, tried to produce this kind of magical blast. But obviously, the both of you have seen him coming as you've both tried to tackle him yourself, and he's just kind of gone like this right into your face, and you're just like, oh, blimey. And just both of you maneuvered out of the way to try and get out of the way. [00:28:24] Speaker F: Embarrassing for him, to be honest. [00:28:28] Speaker C: Take the pressure of working with Act Daddy. [00:28:30] Speaker E: He's just lost all I think. [00:28:32] Speaker A: Oh, no. Oh, God. Let's have a little look and see what else we can do. What else can we do? What else can we do? [00:28:47] Speaker C: Just let us have a go. [00:28:48] Speaker A: That's what you go on then. I'll let you guys have a go. Who's next? [00:28:53] Speaker E: Next? [00:28:53] Speaker A: Who's next? Is it Pally or Murden? Who's next? [00:28:57] Speaker B: You sure you don't want to go? [00:28:59] Speaker D: I was just gonna clip this shadow around my ear. [00:29:04] Speaker E: Do you want to tag team? [00:29:05] Speaker F: Did you want to tag team? [00:29:07] Speaker D: I do, but I think we should tag team into Axe Daddy rather than Shadow Brat. [00:29:12] Speaker F: That's fair. I'm just thinking about the. The slurping of the hope and how long we have hope to spend. [00:29:20] Speaker B: Well, that's okay. I'm. I'm gonna stay. [00:29:23] Speaker E: So we do need to delete these other guys asap. [00:29:27] Speaker F: Yeah, that's true. [00:29:28] Speaker E: Fire on Daddy. The more they're gonna duff us up as well. [00:29:32] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:33] Speaker D: In which case, yeah, if you're happy for me to jump in. Yeah. As that arcane magic burst comes out, I've sort of like use the runes, almost like a propeller to sort, like, ward against it. And then at close range, either fire all three into what it approximates as its chest. I'm going to raw dog it. Ah, I shouldn't have raw dogged it. [00:29:59] Speaker A: Raw. [00:29:59] Speaker B: Do it. Okay. [00:30:02] Speaker A: Have any. Does P have any prayer dice to offer help? [00:30:06] Speaker D: Not enough. [00:30:06] Speaker B: I have two. Or two. It's not enough. [00:30:09] Speaker A: Not enough. Yes. So it looks like the lot like both you and Virgil and this creature in front of you are all trying to take, like, swipes at each other. But with your swipes, you keep on Missing one another. Because of that, I am going to take this Shadow Sword here. He is going to come up behind the back of you both and he is going to make an attack at you. Virgil. No, I'm gonna take it. Do an attack at you. Madden. 12 oh, go on then. 12. Because of this hit, he is going to spend a stress to make this a direct damage attack. [00:31:07] Speaker F: Whoa. [00:31:09] Speaker D: Am I even buffed? [00:31:11] Speaker E: You might be. [00:31:13] Speaker A: Are you Bob, You're going to take 10 direct damage. [00:31:21] Speaker D: Okay. So hear me out. Hear me out here. I've got the runic stones flying around me in a defensive pattern and that Elysia me to mark a strap. So when you next take damage, reduce the severity by one threshold. So that's. That doesn't. So that's moved for. Well, sorry it. I can't use armor. But I'm not using armor. I'm just reducing damage so that 10, which is minor gets blanked right by the runic stones. And then I will spend a hope to keep the runes going. [00:32:03] Speaker A: Okay. [00:32:05] Speaker D: So yeah, kind of catch catch the catch the attack on the runes. [00:32:10] Speaker A: All right. Good going. And I feel like you lot are not having any fun down here so I'm gonna bring. Oh, I'm just going to bring this. I'm just going to bring this Shadow Sword down here. [00:32:27] Speaker C: We don't need anything down here. [00:32:28] Speaker F: We. [00:32:28] Speaker A: You don't need anything down there. [00:32:33] Speaker C: We have far range weapons. We don't need anything down here. [00:32:35] Speaker A: You don't need anything down there. [00:32:37] Speaker C: No, [00:32:40] Speaker E: they're all piling over now. [00:32:43] Speaker A: And he's going to also do an attack on you. Bo. [00:32:48] Speaker F: Hey. [00:32:57] Speaker B: 15. [00:32:57] Speaker E: Oh dear. [00:32:58] Speaker C: Yeah, my little bow. [00:33:03] Speaker E: Just a baby. [00:33:05] Speaker A: Not anymore. [00:33:07] Speaker C: Can I use explore? Can I use the explorer bot as a human shield? [00:33:10] Speaker E: No, the robot shield. [00:33:13] Speaker A: But because he hasn't done. Oh, let's a take do unrelepting objective as well. He'll spend a stress. No. And that's also. That's also direct damage to you bow. [00:33:25] Speaker C: Fine. That's 16. That's a hit. [00:33:27] Speaker A: Point. Four. Pally, I think it's your go next. [00:33:38] Speaker B: I'm just gonna hit that yak's hands again. But I have no hope to balance it so. Oh no, no. I tell a lie. I'm going to spend one of my prayer night. [00:33:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:33:50] Speaker B: Give myself two hope into him so even he tries to take it. I'm just going to use it as a way. So. So. Yeah. So yep. So trained since birth. An incredible strength. Just pummeling both of them. Which was 21 with fear. 21 which I'm going to make fearless. Okay, so it's mark two stress. No. Mark one stress. No, it's too stressed. That's great. It's fine. It's all fine. But it means it's not with fear. [00:34:32] Speaker A: So does that turn it into a hope then? [00:34:34] Speaker C: Yes. [00:34:35] Speaker A: Okay, I'll go down one on the pound. [00:34:40] Speaker C: Great. [00:34:42] Speaker A: So, yeah, with a 21 that is even with these spores still circling around you, you still can see this figure and you can take a blow [00:34:55] Speaker B: damage. And the damage is 13. It's not great. [00:35:02] Speaker A: Yeah, with a 13 that is minor damage. As. As you bring in your. Your moon cleaver again and sort of go again for another spot in this figure's chest. As. As the. As the spores are sort of like blinding your vision, they sort of like, they sort of switch from like black to this black sort of shadowy, semi opaque sort of figure to then sort of blues to then black again to blues and whites and then black. [00:35:36] Speaker B: I don't like this, mate. I think I know who this is and I'm a little bit concerned. [00:35:42] Speaker A: Who wants to go next? [00:35:46] Speaker E: Goodness. [00:35:47] Speaker B: I've got theories and I don't like it. [00:35:50] Speaker E: I go. I don't mind going, going, go, go. [00:35:54] Speaker A: You want to go get him? [00:35:57] Speaker C: I invest thing. Should I. This guy's in close range now. I'll shoot at the one that's next to Murden, I think the shadow sword. [00:36:18] Speaker A: Or the sword, please, [00:36:22] Speaker C: because I'll get [00:36:24] Speaker A: points. [00:36:25] Speaker C: Let's. Let's just go for. [00:36:31] Speaker A: I cut 20 with fear. Cool. [00:36:36] Speaker C: Just refresh my thing. [00:36:37] Speaker A: Go for it. [00:36:38] Speaker C: That hit. [00:36:39] Speaker A: That is a hit. Yes. Nice. [00:36:46] Speaker D: So many dice. [00:36:48] Speaker E: Whoa. [00:36:48] Speaker C: 29. [00:36:50] Speaker A: 29. 29 is major damage. [00:36:54] Speaker E: Oh, very good. [00:36:57] Speaker A: As you. As you see the shadow sort just kind of like as soon as your bullets come out of your gun, it sort of like sort of slowly comes around and there's as it takes these bullets into the. Into the sides of it. Yeah. Would you like to go again or would you. Well, you rolled with a fear, so you can't trot him again. I'm not. I'm gonna say no. I'm gonna. I'm gonna go into my go. I'm gonna bring one of these little guys over here and they can travel far. Oh, And let's see, let's see. Let's just do another magic burst. He's gonna do a magic burst between you and let's just double check if Lucretia is in the same zone. Yes, she is. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Come on. We want to delete that. Thank you. [00:38:02] Speaker E: So. [00:38:02] Speaker A: Yes, he's going to do a magic burst at the two of you. Not that one. Yep, there's a six kitten. [00:38:18] Speaker C: No. [00:38:19] Speaker A: No. I guess so. Both of you. [00:38:22] Speaker C: I don't think it would hit the creature either. [00:38:24] Speaker E: No. No. [00:38:26] Speaker A: So again, you. You've. You've recognized this sort of like beams of energy that are coming off this creature from what you've probably seen over happening to Murden and Virgil. And you've been able to sort of maneuver out of the way to make sure that he doesn't get like a mosquito [00:38:44] Speaker E: way. [00:38:47] Speaker A: Murden, you're up next. [00:38:49] Speaker D: Okay, so we. We're defending against a flying shadow in front of us. We're defending against the sword hands behind us. The runes are going crazy like flying around. [00:39:00] Speaker A: And [00:39:02] Speaker D: Midden turns to you, Virgil, and like through gritted teeth, like unusually quietly, given what's happening. Do you trust me? [00:39:17] Speaker C: No. [00:39:20] Speaker A: Explicitly. [00:39:24] Speaker D: And like I narrow my eyes at you and the yellow glow in the stone eye begins glowing brighter, but it is tinged with red. [00:39:42] Speaker C: No, that's the bad boy. [00:39:50] Speaker E: I retract my former statement [00:39:53] Speaker D: and it's [00:39:54] Speaker B: like actually, no, no, I don't. [00:39:58] Speaker E: Stop. Stop. It. [00:40:06] Speaker D: Transforms like drops to all fours, transforms into the large hulking bear. But it is like tinged with the red. Tinged with the same red hue that it was tinged with last night, like dried blood across its fur. And there is this almost ground shaking fury that emanates from him. And he's gonna. As he roars, he's gone. Oh, sorry. I've spent 2 hope to fear 2 stress. And my boss am I. Am I am I bought and I'm bossed. Okay. Right. Which is a useless ability I could have taken. Okay. I'm going to claw at the sword hand man behind us. I'm gonna how much I've got to hope. I'm gonna unleash the beast within to spend a hope to get roll that experience. I roll a 21 with fear [00:41:24] Speaker A: that does hit. [00:41:25] Speaker D: And I'm going to spend another hope to whirlwind it. So the shadow behind us will take half this damage and I take a total of So I deal a total [00:41:40] Speaker C: of [00:41:43] Speaker D: 20 damage to the sword hands and 10 damage to the shadow. And the fury that I'm emanating [00:41:56] Speaker A: means [00:41:57] Speaker D: that the shadow will take an additional stress as well. [00:42:05] Speaker A: So the. The Shadow sword is going to take an additional stress. [00:42:09] Speaker D: No, sorry. So the floating shadow takes the stress. The Shadow Sword takes 20 damage. [00:42:15] Speaker A: Takes 20 damage. And does the flying shadow take any damage? Takes 10 damage. So the 10 damage is minor damage to the Little flying sword. And the sword is again only comes up to minor damage as well at 20. [00:42:34] Speaker D: So sorry, sorry. If it matters, it's actually 23. [00:42:39] Speaker A: Oh, that does bump it up to major damage. [00:42:43] Speaker D: Very good. Will come into effect for that. [00:42:48] Speaker A: Nice, nice, nice, nice. So yeah, as. As your. As your hulking body is now sort of absolutely wailing on this, on this, on this figure. Who would like to go next? Virgil, would you like to go next? [00:43:06] Speaker F: Virgil would love to go next. [00:43:08] Speaker A: It does matter, but not yet. [00:43:14] Speaker F: So how, how bad are these two. Two boys looking on either side of us? [00:43:19] Speaker A: The shadow sword is definitely looking much more worse for wear compared to the flying shadow. [00:43:25] Speaker F: Cool. I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do conjure swarm. Need to do a spell casting roll against any adversaries within close range. Spend Hope to do 2d8 plus 3 magic damage to targets you succeed against. [00:43:46] Speaker A: Okay. [00:43:48] Speaker F: So my spellcasting role, I always get this wrong. Is it agility? [00:43:52] Speaker D: Yours is agility, I think. [00:43:55] Speaker F: Yes. Cool. [00:43:58] Speaker D: The little wand on your portrait on your character sheet, if you hover over it tells you of course there is. [00:44:04] Speaker F: Yes. It's just right. [00:44:10] Speaker A: Oh it is a critical and with a pretty [00:44:17] Speaker D: clear that stress. [00:44:20] Speaker A: Clear that stress. And the countdown goes down by two. [00:44:25] Speaker E: Oh great. [00:44:31] Speaker A: But yeah, make an attack as your, as your little fireflies come out again. [00:44:37] Speaker F: Yes. [00:44:38] Speaker A: So it is with violent intent. [00:44:41] Speaker F: So a crit. It's 2D8 +3 +16. [00:44:45] Speaker D: But it should roll that in automatically. Oh yeah. So it'll be 2d8 plus 19 [00:44:57] Speaker F: plus 19. Oh yeah. One second. There was probably a better way of doing this. [00:45:05] Speaker C: George is doing it old school. Sorry, I don't trust the system. [00:45:11] Speaker A: 29. [00:45:12] Speaker F: I didn't know how to find deal damage. It was lost to me. So [00:45:18] Speaker A: with, with a 29 the, the flying shadow, it looks like this obviously does like a major like almost severe amount of damage as you can see it now not holding on for very much longer. As well as the shadow sword, probably not as much damage. But it does look like it hasn't got much to sort of blow it out out of existence. [00:45:50] Speaker F: I think as he's. As he's casting these, these fireflies out, I think it is kind of like a, a distraction technique from his. His worry about the huge bear. He sort of gives it like a little nervous jovial. [00:46:13] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:46:13] Speaker F: And brother talons. [00:46:16] Speaker A: Yeah. If he wants to do a move, [00:46:18] Speaker F: might I brother a talons to this, to this boy over here? [00:46:21] Speaker A: Sure. [00:46:23] Speaker F: Perhaps I will. I will do this correctly this time. [00:46:29] Speaker C: You find the move. You Want to do? [00:46:31] Speaker E: Yes. [00:46:32] Speaker C: And press. [00:46:32] Speaker F: He's only got the one. [00:46:34] Speaker C: Yeah, it should do it for you. [00:46:36] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:46:38] Speaker A: 19 with hope. A 19 with hope unfortunately doesn't hit. As. As Brother Talons tries again to make that maneuver into this figure. But also with Brother Talons being in this spore cloud is struggling really hard to to get around. [00:47:03] Speaker F: Poor baby. [00:47:05] Speaker A: Poor babe. [00:47:05] Speaker F: Never done anything wrong in his life. [00:47:08] Speaker A: Lucretia, you've got your hands up next. Would you like to take the spotlight? [00:47:12] Speaker E: Just thought I might finish off one of the dudes next to Virgil and the angry bear. That would be nice, wouldn't it? Am I to take it that the big. The big old boy hasn't been that bothered about our magic use so far? [00:47:30] Speaker F: Or is it just that we've not. [00:47:31] Speaker E: It's not been hit by magic, [00:47:36] Speaker C: okay. [00:47:36] Speaker E: Oh, he has. He's definitely been hit by magic because. Yeah. But anyway, it doesn't matter. Was it. Was it the shadowy. The floaty shadow that was nearly both [00:47:47] Speaker A: of them Both nearly done looking pretty. [00:47:50] Speaker E: I wonder. I wonder, is it worth doing a wild flame? The wild flame. Yeah, but I need to get closer. I need to get to melee. Can I get to melee range? I'd have to just do an agility trick. I can't do it. No, I'm not doing it. I'm just gonna hit one. I'm just gonna hit the this. [00:48:15] Speaker A: What's so worrying about an agility trick? [00:48:17] Speaker E: I'm gonna hit my shadow. [00:48:19] Speaker A: Boy, you could get a little hope out of it. [00:48:22] Speaker B: No, just watch how badly pally has suffered. [00:48:26] Speaker E: At the end of summer, I'm gonna use. I'm gonna do. Oh, I'm gonna do a zot with my great stuff on the floaty shadow. Good. More Wandos in the strange. Can I spend a stress to have my experience? This will be an extra. An extra two then. Wait a minute. [00:48:47] Speaker D: Be extra four. Oh, is it an extra two? [00:48:51] Speaker E: Yeah, just an extra two. Cuz it's a plus two experience. Oh no. [00:48:59] Speaker A: Oh no. [00:49:00] Speaker C: Oh no. [00:49:01] Speaker A: That is a 12. [00:49:02] Speaker E: What can I do about that? I don't think I can do anything about that. [00:49:05] Speaker B: I. I do have a last two, but I don't know if it's enough. [00:49:08] Speaker C: No, I don't. [00:49:09] Speaker E: I don't. I don't think it'll be enough. [00:49:10] Speaker A: I think Ms. Thankfully that will be amiss. Unfortunately. Yeah. Lucretia, as you're trying to kind of look over this little mound that where sort of Murden and Virgil are, you're unable to sort of get that when [00:49:26] Speaker D: you fail a Roll that. Utilize one of your experiences. You can mark a stress to re. Roll. [00:49:31] Speaker E: You're right, I can. That's my adaptability. Yes, thank you, Dan. I would like to do that, please. I'd like to. To reroll. Do I get to use. [00:49:41] Speaker C: Keep. [00:49:41] Speaker E: Keep my. Do I get to keep. I don't have to. I've still got the experience on it. Right, lovely. Let's do it again. So I'm gonna add this, the extra stress, and then I'm gonna roll my improved. Great stuff with wonders in the strange, but not have to spend any for that. Is it better? [00:50:04] Speaker C: 19 with hope. [00:50:05] Speaker E: 19 with hope now. [00:50:07] Speaker A: So which one. Which one are you going after? [00:50:09] Speaker E: It was the floaty boy. [00:50:10] Speaker A: The floaty boy. Yes, that does. And because you've done a successful hit. [00:50:16] Speaker E: Oh, this goes down by one. [00:50:18] Speaker C: No, [00:50:20] Speaker E: stop. He takes 18 damage. [00:50:26] Speaker A: 18 damage with an 18 damage. That is major damage. And he just goes and evaporates. [00:50:41] Speaker E: Fantastic. She's back. Let's go. Thank you. Can I zot anyone else? [00:50:49] Speaker C: Is that. [00:50:50] Speaker A: Yeah, if you want to. If you want to have a zot at someone else. [00:50:54] Speaker E: The other one. Zot the other one with the other. [00:50:58] Speaker C: Just. [00:50:58] Speaker E: Just quick fire. Pow, pow. That's what we're doing. I'm not gonna bother wandering in the strange this time. Just gonna roll it. It's bad. It's a 16 with hope. [00:51:12] Speaker A: A 16 with hope. A 16 with Hope. Unfortunately doesn't hit. [00:51:17] Speaker B: How much do you need? How much do you need? [00:51:19] Speaker A: Two, please. [00:51:20] Speaker B: You want two? Yep. [00:51:21] Speaker A: Go. [00:51:21] Speaker B: Take it. Take. Take my last two. [00:51:23] Speaker A: Taking the last two to bump you up to an 18 does hit. [00:51:27] Speaker C: Hooray. [00:51:28] Speaker A: And because it was a successful attack with. [00:51:30] Speaker E: No, no, stop it. It's 14 damage for this boy. [00:51:37] Speaker A: Damage. I mean, it's only minor damage. Yes, but it's exactly what you need. [00:51:42] Speaker E: It's enough. Hell, yeah. [00:51:45] Speaker A: Completely. Get this. This creature off guard as it goes also. Yes. [00:51:51] Speaker E: Lucretia goes into nowhere and then she blows on the tip of her great staff. [00:51:59] Speaker A: Yeah. Who would like to go next? Beau, I think you were the next one up. [00:52:03] Speaker C: No worries. [00:52:08] Speaker A: Very. [00:52:09] Speaker C: I don't like how close he is. Don't like how close. [00:52:16] Speaker E: What you gonna do about it? [00:52:20] Speaker C: I mean, I could bounce off of him. No, I just go right through. No, let. [00:52:26] Speaker A: Let me. [00:52:26] Speaker C: I'll shoot big daddy because I'll get more points for shooting him because he's got people in healing range. [00:52:34] Speaker E: Get over 20. [00:52:39] Speaker C: I try my best. No, no, I can't see any of my dice rolls. [00:52:47] Speaker A: 16. You got a 16 with Hope. And if you're going after big daddy, unfortunately, that does not hit. That will not hit because you missed. Let's have a look at a lot of you. Let's see how we're doing. [00:53:06] Speaker E: Not well. We're all going to die. [00:53:12] Speaker A: We're all going to die. [00:53:14] Speaker F: EPK E P K. [00:53:22] Speaker A: This large sort of hulking shadow has seen that you've tried to make has seen that you've tried to make an attack. Yeah, it's gonna do another mana drain on you though. I would like you. I would like you to make a knowledge reaction roll, please, baby. [00:53:45] Speaker B: Good luck. [00:53:47] Speaker C: Super smart as well. [00:53:49] Speaker A: Yeah, [00:53:52] Speaker C: super duper smart. [00:53:57] Speaker A: And 11 with fear does not do it. Could you please remove all of your hope and. Oh, jeez, [00:54:13] Speaker E: this is bad. [00:54:17] Speaker A: Take 24 direct damage. [00:54:19] Speaker C: 24 direct. That's two. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Yeah, no, it's not severe. No, it's fine. [00:54:39] Speaker A: Okay. As you suddenly start feeling this, this, this sort, your. Your whole essence and your whole being sort of almost kind of disappearing out of your mouth. Almost. Not the kind of. The kind of the, the essence, the memories, the. The joy that you have from shooting a direct hit, leaving sort of like all elements of your. Of your being with that as well. I think I'm going to do something else. Let's have a little look. Oh, have I frozen again? Sorry, I keep on freezing and then I can't open up anyone's character sheets. [00:55:30] Speaker C: Why do you need to look at that character sheets? [00:55:33] Speaker A: I don't need to look at your character sheets. Just need to look at my character sheets. And because he did a successful attack, he's gonna use terrifying. Can all people within. With all people within far range. [00:56:02] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:56:03] Speaker A: Which I think is everyone. Yeah, everyone within far range. Can you all lose a hope? [00:56:08] Speaker D: Joke's on you, mate. [00:56:11] Speaker E: Yeah, three of us. [00:56:13] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, I also. I owe to gain a fear. [00:56:17] Speaker E: Oh, man. [00:56:19] Speaker A: Oh, man. But with that being said, who would like to go next? Was it Murden or Pally? [00:56:26] Speaker B: It's murder. I'm just gonna hit accident again. [00:56:31] Speaker E: Oh my God. [00:56:32] Speaker B: Let's go. [00:56:34] Speaker E: That counter is about to. Is about to run. [00:56:38] Speaker F: I was just like, yeah, just go for it. [00:56:42] Speaker C: Come out. It's the hope counter. [00:56:44] Speaker E: I don't like the idea of Pally being next to the daddy when that counter runs down. [00:56:50] Speaker D: I mean, Pally, to be fair, in my turn, I was just gonna run over and like dogpile Axe Daddy alongside you. So if that help, I don't think [00:56:59] Speaker B: it makes any difference for me cuz I haven't got any Hope to give you for a tag team. Cuz you stole my last one that was going to use for me. So it's just going to be. Just going to try and hit him again. [00:57:09] Speaker D: I mean, I'm happy. I'm happy to throw hands in the hope that I get a hope and then I can help you. I could, like, give you advantage. [00:57:28] Speaker B: If you want to go first, you can go first. I mean, I'm literally just gonna hit him. So that's all I'm gonna do. [00:57:36] Speaker D: I will run headlong into the spore cloud. [00:57:39] Speaker A: Could you do an agility roll for me, please? Yeah. After raw docket. [00:57:48] Speaker D: Let's go. [00:57:51] Speaker B: That's great. [00:57:54] Speaker A: Scene with hope. You're fine. Your big four just comes bumbling across the. Rampaging across the ground. [00:58:02] Speaker D: Crashing of roots and branches. Like I'm barreling in. I will Beast attack just slam into this thing. I'm not gonna spend the hope for any mods. I'm just gonna. Oh, just gonna roll. [00:58:27] Speaker B: Oh. [00:58:28] Speaker D: But 14 with hope. [00:58:31] Speaker A: Unfortunately, that is not gonna hit him. [00:58:34] Speaker D: That's fine. I'm still here and I'm angry. [00:58:37] Speaker A: You're still hearing. It's still angry. So, Murden, you are also now slightly in this spore cloud. I am very vulnerable as you can. You can feel these sort of like spores kind of enter into your system. And in your bear form, you're finding it quite hard to comprehend sort of like what's happening. Much like with Pali, you're seeing the ground change from like this dirty grass to pavement to freshly sort of damaged pavement, to fire to buildings, to people's screams. And that, like, might be what sort of threw you off when you were trying to attack this creature. [00:59:20] Speaker D: That's fair. That's fair. [00:59:23] Speaker A: Who would like to go next? Pal? [00:59:26] Speaker B: Can I hit him? [00:59:27] Speaker A: You can hit him. 17 with fear doesn't hit, unfortunately. [00:59:41] Speaker B: I'm going to make. I'm not going to make it a hope because we didn't hit. Which I think is for the counter. So, yeah, I'm still trying my best to hit him. Can I. Can I try and vish like I'd like. I think Pally is suddenly really interested in the other version. [01:00:01] Speaker A: Mm. [01:00:01] Speaker B: Because of the blue and whites. Can I feasibly try and assess more of that in my failure? If I'm not focused on damage, can I focus on details instead? [01:00:13] Speaker A: I will. I will let you do that. Roll me an insight. 12 of hope. A 12 with hope. You. You're trying your best to sort of focus on the other. On the other figure you but it's a struggle. Like the. The. The monster is. Is sort of moving so much. It's kind of this undulating, sort of uneven movement of its body is making it really hard to of focus. And so you, yeah you. You just can't. You. You see these different colors. You see these blues and these whites from previously, but they are now sort of molding into like the reds and the oranges of the fire as then it sort of flips back to the black and the sort of dirty grass and the. The cold dampness of the. Of the forest that you know that you're currently in. Okay, cool. Yeah. Mern, you've got your hand up again. Did you want to go again? Okay. [01:01:34] Speaker D: I'm just thinking while we're here, I'm happy to. If P wants to put his hand up, I'm happy to do a very big raw and spend a hope to help. [01:01:47] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah. [01:01:49] Speaker D: Okay. [01:01:50] Speaker B: For the insight or for. [01:01:51] Speaker D: No, no, for. For trophies. [01:01:53] Speaker B: Attack [01:01:56] Speaker A: advantage on choppies. [01:01:57] Speaker D: Okay. So in which case yeah I'll spend my hope as I sort of like rear up. Rear up on two legs and just yeah loud this soul shattering roar in like unbeknowingly distracting it. [01:02:15] Speaker B: And can I. I gained a hope from my insight with hope. Right? [01:02:19] Speaker A: Yes. [01:02:19] Speaker B: Just to check so I can spend most. So I'm going to spend that hope as well. Go for it on train since birth with advantage. [01:02:38] Speaker A: A23 with hope does hit. It also brings the counter down to zero. Okay. But yeah make your attack. [01:02:54] Speaker E: On damage. [01:02:55] Speaker A: Unfortunately no. [01:02:56] Speaker B: That's such a shame. [01:02:58] Speaker E: 3 8. That was amazing. [01:03:01] Speaker A: So a twist any. Yep. [01:03:02] Speaker B: Can I just. One second once per rest. When you succeed in an attack against an adversary, you can clear free stress or a hit point on excessive hope. You also clear free stress or a hit point an ally in close range of you which is my second wind ability which I'm going to use now. [01:03:20] Speaker A: Nice. [01:03:21] Speaker B: So I'm going to clear three stress. Let me do that. I don't know why it's not. Let me do it. Yeah, I'm gonna clear free stress anyway. But I think that also means that you can down as well. [01:03:38] Speaker D: I'm probably okay if Bo Bo might need the help healing. [01:03:44] Speaker B: Well, I can only do it within an ally. Within close or close. So is Bo not close? I think so you might be in close if. Yeah, if you're in close. Please do. Yeah, go for it. So yeah, so you [01:04:01] Speaker D: three strat. [01:04:05] Speaker B: Yeah. You can cliff. Yeah. Or hit point. [01:04:08] Speaker C: Yeah, I'll do one hit point please. [01:04:11] Speaker A: Okay, cool. [01:04:15] Speaker B: Cool. [01:04:15] Speaker A: So, yeah, with a 28 again, it's only minor damage, but you can feel that sort of like at least something. Something is giving in this. In this monster. As the five of you were sort of like embroiled in this. In this battle, there have been some fairly successful hits. It definitely feels like you have, like, a better idea of where everything is going. But also I feel like some of you are starting to feel the stress, starting to feel the waning hope of this. Of this battle against these. These shadow creatures. Again, from up in the. I would say the north east, I would say Virgil probably notices them, but up in the northeast, Virgil, you notice three of these. Oh, three of these archers suddenly appear from. From the trees. [01:05:28] Speaker E: Yes, thank you. Yes, please. Yeah, get them. [01:05:33] Speaker C: Bo, [01:05:38] Speaker A: See if that was the right. [01:05:41] Speaker E: No, it's the wrong one. [01:05:44] Speaker A: It's the twins. [01:05:45] Speaker E: The twins are here. The Archer twins and their friend Jack. [01:05:52] Speaker F: It's the Archer toilets. We all know them. [01:05:55] Speaker A: Let's see if this is the right one. There he is. So, yeah, these. These three archers and let's. Let's bring up a little. [01:06:08] Speaker E: Oh, hell yeah. [01:06:10] Speaker F: Buddies. Yeah. [01:06:13] Speaker A: Three archers have come out from out of the woods. [01:06:16] Speaker E: Oh, look at them. [01:06:17] Speaker A: And they've noticed that you have. That you lots have, you know, are fighting these shadow swords and all the rest of these shadows sort of around here, the three of them are. Are. Are going to. Well, they're just going to approach and assess the situation and they're just kind of. They're just sort of looking at you and assessing the situation. [01:06:40] Speaker D: Bo, you shoot them, I'll eat them. Bish bash bosh. [01:06:46] Speaker A: That being said, Bo, you'll go, oh, [01:06:49] Speaker E: so it was a nice countdown. [01:06:51] Speaker C: I told you it was a nice countdown. [01:06:53] Speaker E: It was a nice countdown. Why did you think it was nice countdown? Because the last one sent us to another dimension, Nathan. [01:07:00] Speaker F: It didn't send us friends. [01:07:03] Speaker A: I'll never tell. [01:07:06] Speaker E: I'll never tell. [01:07:13] Speaker C: So can I see these. [01:07:15] Speaker E: These guys? [01:07:17] Speaker A: Yeah, they're only in sort of far range. You can see them. [01:07:19] Speaker F: They see the delight in Virgil's eyes. [01:07:24] Speaker E: Guys, a little help. [01:07:30] Speaker A: They. They kind of. They. The. Their sight sort of adjusted to you, Bo. And they kind of go. And they nod. They don't say anything. They just nod in your general direction. Would you like to take a hit? [01:07:46] Speaker C: Yeah, I'll take a hit. I mean, I'll hit. Try and hit Axe Heavy again. He is my best. My best boy. My best choice. Come on. [01:08:01] Speaker E: Is it great? [01:08:02] Speaker A: It's a nice, nice little crit. [01:08:05] Speaker E: Incredible. [01:08:06] Speaker D: This is gonna Be disgusting. [01:08:13] Speaker E: Seven. [01:08:17] Speaker A: I will say that. 77 is severe damage. Minor damage. [01:08:23] Speaker E: I'm just. I'm just looking at the dice breakdown for that roll you just made. Livy. Where did the Plus 47 come from? [01:08:31] Speaker C: So I get sneak attack because they're in melee range. [01:08:35] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:08:35] Speaker C: So I get an extra. So wait how many for my snow sneak attack? [01:08:42] Speaker E: Just a cash extra. 47 or so I get add a [01:08:46] Speaker C: number of DC D6 is equal to my ear. Huh. And then for my normal attack I get 3D6 plus 11. [01:08:55] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:08:56] Speaker E: Wow. That's incredible. I love it. Jesus. [01:09:03] Speaker C: Do me a favor. [01:09:05] Speaker A: Yeah. This. [01:09:06] Speaker C: This only if they're in a certain range and there's people next to them. Otherwise I can't shoot. [01:09:12] Speaker A: Yes. This. This axe. This axe wielding creature you are now calling what this axe Daddy. This axe daddy. [01:09:21] Speaker C: Thank you. [01:09:22] Speaker A: Has taken some mighty blows from your gun. Now that you're severely pissed off. [01:09:28] Speaker C: That like I'm severely pissed off. And also Beau's a bit of a show off and he's seen some new guys come along and he wants to make sure that they. [01:09:37] Speaker A: Fair enough. Fair enough. [01:09:39] Speaker E: Very good. [01:09:40] Speaker A: So yeah you've. You've vastly sort of like imploded into this. Into this creature. [01:09:47] Speaker D: You gain a hope as well. [01:09:49] Speaker A: And you gain hope as well. [01:09:50] Speaker C: Finally. [01:09:52] Speaker A: Who would like to go next? [01:09:54] Speaker C: What to beat that. [01:09:56] Speaker E: I'm not gonna. [01:09:59] Speaker D: Virgil. [01:10:01] Speaker E: Yes. [01:10:03] Speaker F: I might send Brother Talons in first. [01:10:06] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:10:06] Speaker E: Hell yeah. [01:10:09] Speaker F: My baby boy might see if I can do this correctly this time. [01:10:13] Speaker E: Who's he. Who's he going for? [01:10:17] Speaker F: Big guy? He's next door. [01:10:18] Speaker B: Big daddy. [01:10:19] Speaker E: Big daddy [01:10:23] Speaker A: gold. [01:10:23] Speaker E: Daddy boy. [01:10:26] Speaker C: Daddy boy. [01:10:27] Speaker E: Daddy boy. Daddy boy. He's got a cr. [01:10:32] Speaker A: He's got a. Them roll those bones for as he. [01:10:50] Speaker B: So you know it's 40 damage. [01:10:53] Speaker A: You kind of get the in. In like the feeling that like Bow definitely likes to show off and he's seen these new people come along and Bow is just like watch this. And it's gone off. Brother Talons also really likes to show off in front of new people. [01:11:08] Speaker F: Doesn't see many people. All he sees is an old man and the top of an old man's head like. [01:11:14] Speaker A: And 39 is only major damage. But as Brother Talons makes his way through he just sort of. You can see Pali as you. As you kind of look round to Brother Talons with the. With the flickering of fire in this spore sort of like hallucination that you're having. You can also see the fire of war go on in Brother Talons eyes as he Dives bomb again. For this, for this, for this large shadow axe wielding creature and sort of like pelts straight through his middle. And as you can slowly see, sort of elements of this creature sort of flitter off into the. Into the area. Pali, you are looking at this, at this monster, at this creature, at this, this shadow, at this person, at this man, as this older man, a man wearing the tabards that you wear. Hold up. [01:12:22] Speaker B: I know it. [01:12:22] Speaker A: It is. And he's. And then he's gone. [01:12:25] Speaker E: It's a daddy. [01:12:26] Speaker B: The wrong one. Not the right one. Not the right one. [01:12:29] Speaker E: Daddy was daddy all along. [01:12:33] Speaker A: But before you can get a clear view of this person, he is gone. [01:12:40] Speaker E: This is a. I sent you a [01:12:41] Speaker B: text saying if this is Patty's dad, I love you. But I'm gonna riot about. About 40 minutes ago and I realized what was going on. [01:12:51] Speaker F: It was like. I love that. [01:12:53] Speaker A: With the disappearance of this large beast, you bo. As you're closest to them, you also notice that not. Not in the same sort of like destructive sort of like vanishing that the other creatures did when you destroyed them, but just sort of like in a whisper, the other shadows around you also start disappearing. [01:13:16] Speaker C: Oh, I'd run away too. [01:13:18] Speaker E: That's what I thought. [01:13:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:13:20] Speaker A: We haven't walk away. [01:13:22] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:13:23] Speaker E: As the dangerous [01:13:27] Speaker A: as the. As the five of you and Brother Talons, [01:13:32] Speaker C: it's Brother Towns and the five of us, I think. [01:13:34] Speaker B: Yes. [01:13:34] Speaker A: Brother Talons and this five disciples. [01:13:37] Speaker E: Virgil, [01:13:44] Speaker A: Standing in your respective spaces are not some of you slightly wounded from the fight? Some of you feeling sort of like a bit massively deflated? All of you feeling massively deflated from what you've just been through? A wolfkin woman who was part of this archery group sort of steps down from this ramp that they were part of and she shouts to the lot of you. She just kind of goes like. It's, it's probably best that you come. You come with us. We'll, we can. We can keep you protected if, if you. Obviously you've done very well, but if you, if you. [01:14:26] Speaker C: How did you even do? [01:14:29] Speaker A: We came here to find out what. What the. The danger was. We. We heard some of our traps going off and we came to see out. Came out here to see what was going on. [01:14:37] Speaker E: Are you from the. From the camp? [01:14:40] Speaker A: Yes. Come with us. Come with us. We'll. We'll be able to keep you safe from further invasions. [01:14:47] Speaker E: Stroke of luck. Let's go. [01:14:50] Speaker A: So as the, as the three of them, a wolf king woman, sort of like with dark hair and very Dark sort of face paint like war paint over her face guide you over. She. She is joined then by an ace of our man with sort of like this brown mohawk that travels all the way down his back and a small ignan at actually quite a stocky ignan sprite with, with sort of fiery hair that sort of flickers in the, in the dull night. [01:15:21] Speaker B: The. [01:15:22] Speaker A: The three of the three of them escort you to the, to the camp that you've been looking for. This traitor's camp. Very well. That Lucretia didn't say traitor's camp. She just said camp. [01:15:37] Speaker E: Chose my words carefully. He's a scholar. [01:15:41] Speaker C: He's a smy pants. [01:15:43] Speaker A: As. Oh, she's gone and she's gone. [01:15:46] Speaker F: As she blinks out of existence. [01:15:48] Speaker A: As she blinks out of existence she says we'll. We'll get you to the. We'll get you to our camp. You can rest there. We've. We've got protection up so the shadows can't get through. You should be fine to sort of rest up. Have. Have you. Have you all been outcasted from sanctuary? [01:16:12] Speaker B: They're not actually from sanctuary actually. [01:16:18] Speaker A: Oh, some more. I see. This is interesting. [01:16:24] Speaker E: It's a long story. We're happy to tell it. [01:16:28] Speaker A: It's just. Say more. [01:16:31] Speaker B: What more. [01:16:32] Speaker A: We had a. We had another chap come to us about, about six months ago really that. [01:16:41] Speaker C: What kind of chap? What do you look like? [01:16:46] Speaker A: Just your average Majani looking guy. [01:16:52] Speaker E: Hold on a minute. [01:17:06] Speaker B: We'll. [01:17:06] Speaker A: Come on, we'll. We'll get you there. So the, the three of them, seemingly very friendly guide you to the camp. As the, as the six of you approach with these, with these three arches to the, to the ground, you can definitely see that it's not as luxurious or pinkly sort of like delicate as sanctuary is. It's mostly sort of ramshackles of huts that have been built by people. There are some, there are some makeshift tents. It's a little bit, a little bit higgledy piggledy here and there and some of it looks quite sort of like ignorantly built, but it's, you can obviously see that they're stable. It's like it's a camp that they've had to, to make out of necessity. There's. There's a roaring fire that's going on in the middle of the camp. You could probably count from sort of entering the camp. There's probably like about 20, 30 sort of buildings that people are probably living in. Some are makeshift buildings with sort of like either mud and straw or some of them that seems to be, have been standing there a little bit longer have been made from stone. And then there's a few newer kind of tent sort of camp tents that have been erected for people to sleep in. And as I said, like there's this big roaring fire that's sort of going on in the middle with, with people sort of preparing food, preparing drink, getting ready obviously for sort of like an evening meal. And a few people sort of come out and they sort of see you and they greet you, they. They kind of wave at you to sort of welcome you. Almost just kind of. Well, the generally so much different from Sanctuary where they all seem very sort of like suspicious and wondering of who you are. But these people seem to be fairly accepting and seem to be quite happy to sort of allow you to come in. And the, the. The Wolfkin woman who you found out is called Carmen. [01:19:24] Speaker B: She. [01:19:26] Speaker A: She says so probably not the best thing to get yourself stuck out there. But it's, it's good that you seem to all have your head on your shoulders when it comes to fighting it. Look, we, you know, we were happy enough to stand in and help, but it was obvious that you didn't need us. We've got some food being prepared. You're more than welcome to join us for, for dinner tonight. I don't know where you're heading to, but you're more than welcome to. I mean the other chap of Valor, he just sort of stood with us and, and he stayed with us for the remaining time while. While our Mage has been helping, looking to ways to sort of return him back. I mean, it's all very exciting knowing that elsewhere is still out there. So we've, you know, she's been working really hard to see. See if we can try and get back there. All of us. [01:20:26] Speaker E: Well, that is extraordinary because of course we are thinking the same thing. We would value comparing what we know, what we found out, maybe talking it through. [01:20:40] Speaker A: I mean, I can see if she's around. I'm sure she'd love to meet you as well. Let me, Let me just go to her hut and see if she's available. I'm sure she would love to see, but let me just, let me just check on her first. As, as Carmen sort of walks off to go into one of the more slightly bigger sort of stone houses that looks like it's been there for a while. Beau is your sort of like as you are navigating your eyes around this camp with, with probably sort of like small with. With your ears pricked. When you heard a Majani chap, you can't help but then see into the crowd a Majani man who you notice from that sketch that you have in your pocket. [01:21:42] Speaker F: He's got the same suspicious eyes [01:21:48] Speaker A: as [01:21:48] Speaker B: he does look suspicious [01:21:53] Speaker A: as he stands there with sort of like a hand behind his back and his hat and his other hand sort of ready on his blade which is still sheathed. But he is. It's obvious that he's looking at the lot of you as speculation. While everyone else in the camp seems very happy to. To sort of greet you and help you sit down and. And sort of grab you drinks and things like that and make you feel very welcomed. Is there anything you would like to chat about in the couple of minutes while [01:22:31] Speaker C: explain to them now that I'm gonna have to kill this man or [01:22:33] Speaker F: later, like do you do it now and then ask forgiveness later? Just get it done. Get off your to do list. [01:22:43] Speaker B: Patty's in shell shock. He'll probably talk to someone later, but I think he's still having a time. So he's just. Yes, I mean my axe daddy in the way that he wasn't picking it up I'd say before. So he's a bit like we all [01:22:57] Speaker C: think about actually in the same way. In the different way that we'll think about it. [01:23:02] Speaker E: I don't know. [01:23:03] Speaker C: Maybe I've always thought about Axel like that. [01:23:05] Speaker E: I think Lucretia is probably sort of musing on everything that they've been learning and talking about over the past few days and she says isn't it strange that everyone in Sanctuary is so alarmed and surprised by our magical powers? But there's been a mage in the traitors camp all this time. Time H. I can't wait to meet her. [01:23:24] Speaker C: Why? [01:23:27] Speaker F: Perhaps hearing stories about something they don't understand and well, it kind grows who. [01:23:34] Speaker E: Whoever she was, she must have really caused a fuss for the Princess to. To. To banish one of the very few mag exist Sanctuary so quickly. Well, it must have been a. It must have been something very seditious that she said about the Princess. I'd like to meet her. [01:23:58] Speaker A: As you say. I'd like to meet her. Carmen then approaches the. The lot of you and she says yes, she's more than happy to see you now. She's very eager, especially with another wizard in your. In your group. She's very excited to meet you. [01:24:18] Speaker F: A wizard hive mind. [01:24:20] Speaker E: You see, this is it. It's happening [01:24:25] Speaker A: as and Carmen sort of like guides you to this stone house and opens the door and she says, here they are. Who's going in first? [01:24:41] Speaker E: I think, I think Lucretia's going in first to meet the wizard. Yes, leave it to me. And then she goes, she sweeps in saying, lucretia Valthorne, lovely maker acquaintance, as [01:24:58] Speaker A: you say this, a woman with long gray hair, bright blue eyes and very similar features to you, Lucretia, but older, much older, turns around and she goes, lucretia, I'm gonna end it there. [01:25:34] Speaker C: She goes, [01:25:40] Speaker F: Just back flips back up. [01:25:47] Speaker A: If you enjoyed that and you want to know what happens next, you can find out right now.
