play podcast about a group of young professionals from the real world we find themselves
transported to a strange but familiar place full of fantasy and magic. If you
click the link below, you'll be able to see the description of content,
warnings, and if there's anything else can do for you, just let me
know. Have a good day. Hi. Hey, welcome to the orchards
after combat counseling session. Go ahead and take a seat. Hi, nice
to meet you. I'm slim Shady. Hello, it's lovely to meet you.
Okay, so let's talk a little bit about the combat and how it
made you feel. I know that there was some magical darkness. Yes,
that's where we usually come in, okay. I know that there was some
fear on the field. In particular, one one of the combatants was really,
really scared. How did that make you feel? Yes, there was
a paladin. It doesn't feel good to make I'm not particularly good at it,
but you know you're very capable shadow person. I don't want you to
say any negative self talk about yourself. Can we say, can we say
I am a good shadow person? Wow, No one's asked me to do
that before. I am a good shadow person. Yes, and you're very
scary. I am very scary. I love that for you. Okay,
let's talk a little bit more about what happened. I know at one point
they threw a halfling into the tree. It was very athletic, and you
know that's something I struggle with. I'm not very strong. No, that's
not true at all. You are very strong. Go ahead and repeat after
me. I am strong. I am strong. It's wonderful. I love
it so much. Okay, I know that. Unfortunately, the baddies came
in and they got the magic item from the tree. How did that make
you feel? That felt like a failure. You know, sometimes time we
cannot succeed every time. That's just part of life. That's okay. But
it felt like it was in our control. We did so well until then.
You know, that's something we can learn from. This is maybe how
to protect the magic items next time. So there's always a learning opportunity in
every combat account. Okay, that's true. Thank you for believing in me.
You're welcome. I believe in you shadow person, It's slim shading.

Young professionals, by Young professionals and Today's Icebreaker. How often does your character
think about the Roman Empire? Hi? I'm Tyler. I play Bentley,
the I Paladin. Yeah, and Bentley thinks about the Roman Empire probably two
to four times a week. Hey, I'm Marjorie. I play Amyan.
Amanda, a basic, b rough and tumble human fighter with a freshly minted
dentistry degree. Amyan does not think about the Roman Empire oh at all?
Yeah, at all? No, okay, Like she knows that it exists,
Yeah, she doesn't care or think about it. Hi. Everyone,
I'm Katie and I play Crystal, the draw Druid with her very own MLM
Crystal Clarity. And Crystal thinks about the Roman Empire more often than one might
think, because she thinks they were a very successful empire and she would like
to build one just like it. MM incredible. She is very pro Roman
Empire. Hi. I'm Anneline Hardy and I played Taylor Jacobs, a centaur
barbarian with a heart of gold. Taylor thinks about the Roman Empire as much
as her client does. There it is, it's like now she's heard Crystal
like thinks about a lot. She goes, Okay, add that to my
reading list. Exactly, exactly, okay, what up bits you boy.
Marcel Hardy playing Richard Cox, a human consultants turned haffling bard who holy believes
it's better to be lucky than good, but it's best to be both,
and Richard occasionally thinks about the Roman Empire. He does think about old things,
but like the Roman Empire specifically, not that much. Maybe once every
few weeks they'll think about like old stuff, like oh, man, I
wonder how like astronomers decided, like oh we should figure out this experiment,
or like how did people decide to milk cows like they saw other animals doing
that? Like, he thinks about old, ancient human stuff, specifically the
Roman Empire. So, like most dms, we think about the Roman Empire
quite often because it is the ultimate real world setting where you could actually do

surrounded by darkness, pursued by a strange creature of the night, assuming the
form of a spider. Some of you were scared, some of you were
angry, some of you had no clue what's going on. Two of you
managed to scurry up a tree. One of you managed to grasp behold of
the thing you had been searching for, flaming sword, and we open with
Crystal, it is now your turn in the initiative. Way. Now,
if I remember correctly, you and Taylor Jacobs had basically made it to the
base of the tree. Correct, Yeah, Okay, I was. I
think I was at the base, and so could I see the thing be
grabbed? Since I do have a superior night vision, You see that Richard
has something in his hand, but you can't really make it out. You
know, he's supposed to be looking for some kind of light bulb, right,
and like it's kind of I mean it being a clear bulb and everything,
it'd be kind of hard to make out what it is in his hand,
but you see that he has a hold of something. Okay, is
she still on my back? Yes? I don't think I actually tried to
get Yeah, because we had just gotten to her turn, I guess I
am going to stay with Taylor. Okay. I don't feel like climbing the
tree is gonna help, So you're just gonna take the dodge action yeah,
probably, Okay, Yeah, all right, so that's your turn. So
now we're back up at the top of the order with Taylor Jacobs. Taylor
Jacobs, you're standing at the tree, weapon drawn, and you see the
glow of almost like a campfire behind the creature. So you see his silhouette
in front of you. What do you do? All right? I think
she's gonna run to hit it. Okay, so you charge in. I'll
say, that's that's easy enough to do in uh with a passenger. Yeah,
and you're just and Crystal's just holding on for dear life like screaming,
I imagine, because she's like, why are we getting closer to it?
Okay, so go ahead and make your attack roll eighteen yes, okay,
five? Oh okay, I was about to say. I was like,
but no, yes, that hits. He's like, He's like, now,
miss Jacobs, don't be hasty. You're about to get wasted. I
want to give you disadvantage. Anyways, roll damage. It's two D six
plus three rage adds two. Okay, so that's eleven. Okay, so
you have a clean slash right across his chest and you hear him just go
ah, that's smart. All right. So Taylor, is there anything else
you're doing on your turn? No? I don't think so. I think
what she would be trying to do is like making herself big, like she
already is large, but bigger so that she can block Crystal. Okay,
actually do this since Crystal is like holding on for dear life on her back
and Taylor Jacobs is quite large, Crystal, make me a stealth check fourteen
Okay. No, dude, Bentley, it is your turn. At the
beginning of your turn, I want you to roll roll your D twenty check.
But you feel this fire burning inside of you have advantage? Yes,
roll two? Okay, would you get a three in one? That is?
That is beautiful? Please? It's not just a one. I mean
you hear this voice in your head. It's like, what is your deal?
They are just spiders? Get over it. My dice are broken.
I'm sorry. God, you guys all hear that like echo through the chamber.
Okay, are you gonna do anything on your turn other than stand there?
How far away am I? You are about ten feet away from him?
It's either ten or fifteen feet. We're gonna wreccon it and say it's
ten feet just for just purposes. Well, it's just I don't feel like
the breach of the spider super long arms, and he doesn't have any weapons
or anything, right, he's not hearing anything. No, Yeah, I'm
gonna I'm gonna say that's the end of my turn. I'm just like fighting
trying to go forward. Okay, all right, here's what I want you
to do. I want you to make me a persuasion check nineteen. Okay,
we'll deal with that in a minute. Amyen. It is now your
turn, so go ahead and roll for fear. Technically, this isn't fear,
it's a different thing. You're twelve, so you are still scared.
And as you're trying to shake that feeling, you hear a sound of like
the bark like creaking just below you, like something's climbing. Okay, all
right, and how far is Richard away? Seen? Richard went the other
fifteen feet I believe, so he's fifteen feet away from me. He has
the thing, and so you would have to come back, yeah, okay,
or he could just stay where he is keep climbing upward sacrifice. So
let's see here, Richard, did you get it? I got it?
Okay, hurry up, come back. I'm going to uh not do anything
other than just hold on and use my second wind to get some head points
back. Okay, you know what you should have done. I should just
jump off and like land on him the top rope, just like elbow down.
So I'm going to get seven hit points back. Sorry, eight eight
hit points back. I actually thought of that too. So one thing I'll
say you can do is, since you did hear the things crawling, you
could ready in action to like kick one of them in the face if it
gets closer. Oh, let me do that. Because what I did was
a bone bonuses. Yeah, okay, I don't want to cheat you.
Thank you, You're welcome, all right, Richard is now your turn.
Richard's turn. He's got the light bulb. He's got two ideas in his
head and only two. Oh now he's got three ideas. So he grabbed
all of the stuff from the table. He has all of his things.
He's got the light bulb. What he wants to try to do first,
I guess is pull out the so op, you know, think about the
lexi milee sou they roll fast, close the book, open it up again
and see if there's any way that he can use it without the projector.
Wait a minute, where are you holding on to the tree? I'm in
like I imagined I was like in a Oh okay, okay, okay,
sorry, I don't mean to be track. Yeah, go ahead, you
can float. Don't point out flaws. I know, I know. I'm
saying. It's a superpower. There it is. Marjorie can't help it.
She's a problem solver actually, all right. So when you open it up,
you see all kinds of information about how to use it in conjunction with
the projector. But you do see a way to use it as a beam
of light, and it says something about how it can pierce through shadows.
So that's what you get anything with your bonus action? Or is that your
turn? How high up is he? You're thirty feet from the ground and
your fifteen feet above Amyen Richard is going to climb down a little bit.
He'll probably climb down about fifteen feet and then try to drop the other fifteen
feet. Okay, So you're going to try to bypass Amyen. Yeah,
okay. I would say that since you're going downwards, you basically slide down
even with Amy and and then you like do the cowabunga thing and you just
free fall from there. Yeah, And as you do, you get about
five feet and then does a sixteen hit just barely Okay, So Amy and
you would see he's starting to free fall, and then all of a sudden
you just see like the back of his shirt go up and he's just suspended
in mid air. Oh my god, Jimmy this so so you wouldn't Bentley
wouldn't see it, and then Crystal and Taylor Jacobs also wouldn't see it because
you guys are kind of focused on something else. So Amyan's the only one
that sees this, and you are dangling in mid air like something's got a
hold of the back of your shirt. Ah, fucking what the heck's to
the true inches just reaching behind him trying to Amy would see it is not
a treat. It just looks like darkness, is okay, So it is
now Chef's turn. First things first, Richard, I'm sorry, but you're
about to think if that boulders hat three treatment okay, Actually that that could
have gone worse because a seven doesn't hit right. Correct. You don't see
anything, but you just feel these like woshes of air past your face and
then one nails you right in the gut and you take you take five bludgeoning
damage, like right to the diaphragm. The rest of you would see as
Mike Chef turns and he looks and he kind of grins as the flames are
flickering around him, and he says, I see my friends have found your
friend and plural U huh plural friends? Yes? Do you mean they found
Richard? No, he means his friends. He has multiple of his friends
have found me, right, Yeah, Like y'all are actually having this conversation.
Yes, that's what I mean. Yes, that's what I said.
I have friends. Isn't that hard to believe that I have friends? Yes?
Multiple yea. Yes. He just looks at you and uh, yeah,
Taylor, and he says, you know what, Taylor, He's going
to cast a spell. He points one of his little spider legs at you,
that little spindly thing. Yeah, I need Taylor Jacobs to make a
wisdom saving throw. So that's in eighteen. He looks at you, he's
like, oh, bitch, so never mind, he's not my churn.
His vicious mockery failed. So instead he's just going to attack you with one
of his spider legs. Does an eighteen hit. Okay, so you take
fifteen points of slashing damage from his claw, and you see as the other
legs are kind of pointing to the tree, and you see as this almost
like a black mist comes out of one of them, heading over towards the
tree, and that is his turn and the other. So Crystal, you're
up. I didn't let you roll the first time, so so roll two
D twenty and take the highest to see if you're still a feared. Oh
that's a twenty. Yes, So you break your you see Taylor like slash
him across the chest, You're like, Oh, it's just a thing,
Like, it's not like this is an a manifestation of evil. It's fine.
Yeah, yeah, especially after you saw it like he tried to make
fun of her and it didn't work. Yeah, we're not here for that.
She's like, I draw the line, sir, not body shame.
Crystal is here for improvement of self image. That's what her whole brand is
about. So we're not body shaming. Even if she is full of microaggressions,
she's not outright aggressive. Okay, So what I'm gonna do is I
am going to yell at Richard, did you get whatever you were trying to
get? I got it? Okay, you seem concern What is it that
you got? Because I have like little dancing lights around me and I Katie
is wondering if maybe she could put one of the lights in the little thing
any thing and make it light things up, But she doesn't know how to
communicate that. I don't know how to communicate that to Richard. What does
it do? It's a light bulb, but does light bulb things? But
on a bigger scale, can tailor button and be like, well, then
do the thing it does. Oh oh oh okay, So I just like
point one of my lights and like point it at Richard and try and aim
it for the thing. Okay, So I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna
just like shove one towards Richard and hopefully he'll like try and catch it with
the So it's gonna get about halfway there, Okay, I see that it
doesn't get as far, so then I'm going to, I guess, try
and slide off of Taylor's back and try. Yeah, I'm trying to go
on Taylor. She wouldn't think that, and like move to help get the
thing closer to Richard. Okay, So because I have fifteen feet of movement
speeds. Yeah, so it'll take half your movement to dismount okay, and
then yeah, you'd have fifteen feet. Sure it makes it too, thank
you. And he's holding the light bulb in his hand, and as the
dancing light gets there, it like hits the light bulb and it just kind
of bounces off. Well, but he has lights. Yeah. Now Richard
sees that he is surrounded by what appears to be people made out of darkness.
Now I need I need Richard to make me a wisdom saving throw.
I got it too. Okay, so you are now scared okay the things
that are around me? Yeah okay, but not necessarily of Mike Schef.
God no, okay, turned into a horror podcast. Okay. So I'm
gonna try and hit the spider guy with ice knife. Okay, yes,
so I guess I rolled to attack. I know, right, I must
prefer just I like I like D and D when I don't have to use
dice. I like talking my way out of situation. Okay, so make
your attack roll. That's an eighteen plus that'll hit. Okay, so it's
one D ten piercing yep. And then, Taylor Jacobs, I need you
to make a deck saving throw. What I wasn't gonna hit her? I
rolled high that explodes, I think, yes, oh fuck, sorry about
it. Five. So, Taylor Jacobs, you would see this shard of
ice come flying like right by your head, like blows your hair and really
cool for a second. Yeah, dives right into Mike Chef's chest. Oh
what the devil, and then as he looks down it explodes. Make me
a deck saving throw. I got a fourteen. Okay, what's your spell
save Crystal? Fourteen? Okay, I went right right meets it, beats
it. Yeah, okay, so now I rolled three D six's yes,
okay, so that is eleven eleven okay, so that was a good hit.
Who and you see as there are little shards of ice like all in
his face and he turns and he looks at Crystal and he goes, no
need to take this offline overworked and underplayed, will circle back after these messages,
and to think I was still willing to accept you and my family.
I was gonna join your cult, and you started attacking us. I don't
think so, bud, I c huh. Does she just admit that it's
a cult. That's some good character growth. Crystal was totally aware that she
was gonna enjoy and she was I was all in, dude, I was
putting on the fucking robe, and then you had to go and be weird,
and so now I have to do something about it. He is going
to look right at Crystal, and because you're at range, he makes like
a motion with his spider leg and I need you to make a wisdom saving
throw. You hear what sounds to be a large bell going on my sensitive
ears. That was a tailor thing to say, Holy shit, because that
was a nineteen plus fuck. You guys are getting like the best roles possible
in all your saving throw nineteen plus six. So fine, he's like they're
compensating for vital sticks. The power of Crystal's cult is stronger than this guy.
Cults of Crystal clarity. You just saved yourself from taking was it more
than twenty one dude? Three D twelve damage? So dead? Yeah?
Possibly? Possibly? Yeah? All right, it is now Taylor Jacob's turn.
As you saw that Mike Scheff tried to harm your client, all right,
she's gonna hit him again with a great sword. Okay, keep it
basic, bit chess nineteen plus five battle hit great plus five. That's sixteen.
Okay, So he takes sixteen points of damage. He just kind of
reels back. He's like that stings. Actually that was fourteen. He says
that stings slightly less exactly two points. Al right, So Taylor, it
is now Bentley. So Bentley on your turn. After you still like couldn't
face the spider, you like psyched yourself up last time, so go roll
again with advantage I've changed my dice out, the other ones must be punished.
Yeah, good call. I rolled two, thirteen's one and three,
so just to just plus number. Well, but there's no numbers for this.
It literally says a frightened creature may attempt to overcome this effect at the
beginning of their turn by rolling a seventeen, so I don't add numbers.
Yeah, I'm sorry. Okay, well, what are you going to do
on your turn? They as well, just you know, up, that's
a good idea. I'm gonna cut myself with the sword. What what I'm
going to try and break the fear with pain? Okay, attack, roll
Richards the ship someone else. Yeah, you don't have to hurt yourself.
Let's see you said attack. Yeah, that was a I guess I don't
beat my own ac He goes to a He's like, I don't cut myself,
and he forgets he's wearing like plate armor, and he just ping,
Hey, I'm not wearing plate armor. Problem wearing you're wearing chain mail.
It sounds like your d twenties are absolute shit. They're all effected. I
would also point out you still have two good omens, but it's a little
late for that one for this role. But do you really need to tack
role to say you cut yourself in this instance? I think it's hilarious that
you failed to cut yourself. It's like it's like the guy who's been like
when are we ever gonna have a combat? And he's like stuck in this
fear cycle, like he's like, I want to do things. If it
was actual fear, I would have got over it a while ago. I
just can't roll base above. This is weird. I've never seen high number.
Yeah, I've never seen one that was like this, but it's it's
this is a special creature. That's what you get for doing bullshit. Home
Bird characters apparently just all right, all right, well Bentley is just going
to keep a person's being attacked by Spider around. Yeah. I was gonna
say, due to the way everyone's laid out, you could actually like do
it like the semicircle around and make it to the base of the tree.
No, I'm trying to face my fears. I'm not moving. It is
now your turn. I'm going to use a good omen for my to try
and be not scared. Okay, so is it. Here's the black Duve
okay nineteen. Okay, so you you shake it because you're like no,
no, Richard, and like you're so focused on Richard you forget all about
the spider. Okay, so what do I see? DM? I see
Richard dangling screaming. You see what appears to be three humanoid shapes made completely
out of darkness. And how far away? They're fifteen feet below me?
They're five feet below you, five feet below me there, so they're like
ten feet tall. No, no, no, no, they're they're like
hanging from the tree like they're like, oh climbed up. Oh oh that
was what you heard, climbing up. Okay, they just grappled Richard on
his way down. Okay, I would like to try to kick one of
them in the head to make them release Richer. Yeh, see you slide
down? Yeah, roughly five feet. I will say if you wanted to
try to do like a slide like as you're sliding and kick one in the
hood, I'll give you advantage on the time when me do that, but
I'll need you to make me a acrobatics check to do so, or an
athletics check. Okay, that's fine. So what do I need to roll
now either probatics or athletics. But so I need to roll, Okay,
so I'll just do that first seventeen. Okay, so you you you get
an eye for which one you're gonna kick in the head, and as you
slide down the tree, you get your foot lined up just perfect. So
go ahead and roll with advantage. Okay. So uh for twenty one,
Okay, that's gonna hit. So I'm gonna say for the purpose of this
attack. Four, Yeah, you're gonna use your brass basically, your your
foot is going to act as a brass knuckle. Oh okay, so because
st boots because yeah, yeah, sorry, brass toad boots. Yeah I
like that. Yeah, very steampunk. Oh man. Okay, five damage
off and then I'd like to use my action surge to kick the other one
in. Okay. Yeah, So so hold on on the first one.
So you kick it in the head and you watch as it loses its grip
on the tree because it's only holding on with one arm and it's like trying
to swing it Richard with the other one. And as you kick it,
it's like it had a lot more resistance than you thought it would, Like
you kind of thought your foot would go through its head, right, and
you see as it falls from the tree, hits the floor and just dissipates.
Okay, and then you're gonna try to swing at the other one.
Yes, okay, go ahead and make an attack, roll this time just
normally. So what I'm hearing is he made his friends. He didn't make
the friends you get add to them. Oh yeah, okay, so it's
gonna be let's see eighteen plus my one on my breasts. Yeah, nineteen
and actually okay, so yeah, that's right, okay, and then eight
again. I'll roll it in here, so that's gonna be twelve da.
So you punch another one like right in the face, and it's not quite
like punching like a human, but there's like enough resistance. It's almost like
jell o. Yeah, like a jello right, like dark yellow, and
you hear it like screech, and then it dissipates like right there around your
fist. So that's two down. And then the one holding Richard just looks
at you like you don't see eyes, but you can almost feel its expression.
Okay, look at him, you said him a bitch. Yeah,
it goes like like it tilts its head and you see as off in the
distance, you hear Mike, Chef, go careful what you wish for,
darling, and you see as it lets go of Richard. Richard, it
is now your turn to fall. Can I take a reaction to try and
grab him? No, he's only five feet Yeah, he's like right there
next to which is ten feet for the average human being. So Richard is
falling, yes, which is kind of what he was expecting to be doing.
Anyway. There's just a little bit of a pit stuff on the way.
Yeah, it's actually going to be like less of a fall than you
tried to do originally, exactly. So I'm only falling from ten feet,
so I guess I'm just gonna land. I think ten feet is either just
below the thresholders like the minimum height. You take one D six bludgeoning for
every ten feet you fall max of twenty D six. It's one D six
fall damage. Yeah, here I got you six. Not feeling good,
guys, You forgot to tuck and roll and landed heel first out as Richard
gets like an inch and a half shorter, got a bruised to heal.
All right, Richard, are you doing anything else? Yeah? After he
recovers from his spinal injury. In order to use the light bulb as a
shining beacon, He's gonna put his phone on reverse wireless charging mode and then
just touch the light bulb to his phone to give it magical powers. Very
clever. Okay, I think do we need to call one which which version
of the iPhone does Richard have? Richard has a Samsung? Okay, oh
okay, all right, it works. I was gonna I was gonna be
like, does he know which one has the reverse wireless charging because the answer
is they just are adding that now, like even though Samsung's had it for
like, I had no idea that that existed. I'm a little upset that
the uh so you switch your phone over to that, nothing is going to
happen immediately you switch your phone over, you put the things together, and
you feel something and you see it is almost like a glow is beginning to
happen in the ball, but nothing happens quite yet. But that is going
to be your turn. Okay. What I have known from what what I
read, like how big of a radius the light would shine it. It
doesn't have the exact radius for this application because no one's ever done this before
about it, So you'll just have to wait and see. I'm gonna move
ten feet around the tree, kind of like opposite of the spider guy.
So you're trying to hide behind the tree. Almost, Okay, I got
you, So we will say that you haven't quite broke line of sight,
but you're like real close. All right, nice, Okay, it is
now their turn. And first things first, the one the shadow in the
tree, looks at Amyan. It is going to leap and try to grapple
her. Let's see how bad this is, so Amyen, it leaps and
tries to grapple you, and you just kind of like slowly, like just
shift yourself out of the way, and it just disappears into the darkness and
you hear what sounds like a poof noise in the distance. Uh, that
did not work. Rolled a one, and then I was like, well,
let's see how bad it is, and I rolled another one. So
it poofed itself out of existence, trying to like rip you off the tree.
Yea. And you see, so Taylor, you would see Mike he
looks at you said now it's my turn, and he takes and he's going
to try to stab you with one of his spider legs. That is a
twenty one to hip. Yes, yes, okay, except as it stabs
you where you would normally like you've been hit a few times and you've kind
of shrugged off his hits. This burns and stings, and you feel like
as you look down you see as it's like there's these black streaks beginning to
go out in all directions by your shoulder where he jabbed his spider leg in
it too many as you take twenty two necrotic damage. She is not frown
Oh no, and he turns and he looks at Christal says no more,
mister nice chef. You were never nice. It is now Crystal's turn.
Okay, you just watched Taylor Jake go down. Okay, how's he looking?
Is he looking round? Is he's not looking great? But he's not
looking like blooded I'll say this spider leg, Yeah, he is not on
his last leg. He is not happy. I think it's human of like
to see when someone falls. Even if I'm Crystal and kind of a bitch
that I'm gonna run over to Taylor and try and help. So I'm going
to use my movement to run back because I'm not afraid anymore. I'm not
afraid of this guy in his pathetic excuse for a cult. So I am
going to cast healing word on Taylor. Okay, oh what do you say?
What word did you say? I only get one? Do anything has
a somatic component or verbal component. You can say literally anything. I'm gonna
say, get your ass up. All right, sounds like the client.
Okay, four plus two. Yeah, well that's a three. I've healed
for three. Oh she rolled a one plus two. Okay, So Taylor
Jacobs, you just spring back to life with three hit points. All right?
Nice? Do Can I give her a healing potion for yeah? Because
you have an action left. Because healing word is a bonus action. I'm
a giver. Okay, so go ahead and roll that. Oh wait,
I had an action. Healing word was a bonus action. Yes, do
something. Do somethings like don't help me, let me, let me double
check. It is a bonus action. I'm going to cast ies knife again.
Okay at second level, So you'll roll with disadvantage. Why because it's
a range spell and you're in melee with the with the bad guy. Now,
I don't have anything else. I'm sorry, I don't have any you
know, like I mean, because I don't have I have Chile, but
I don't have anything else in my hands. Wouldn't it be wild if you
like wild ship like into a creature that could tear them up like a cat,
like a giant cat. That was that was the joke. Yeah,
that didn't. It's six plus three. Okay, So Bentley, you you
hear like a whistling noise and like a shard of ice flies past your head.
Shit, and that is Crystal's turn. Taylor, it is now your
turn. You have three hit points. No, the the bad part about
that was I was like, you're about to deal damage to you and and
Taylor, Crystal has no idea what she's doing or what the I get it,
I get it. So Taylor, it is your turn. You are
no longer raging, So what do you do? You can go back into
a rage and your bonus. Actually you have two rages per long rest.
Okay, we know that we have the what's it called? And you're not
in danger anymore, and everyone else is pretty okay except for me and you.
So yeah, she's going to disengage. Okay, So you disengage and
you're going to try to retreat back to like where Richard and everybody is,
and if I can, I want to take Crystal with me. So you're
not going to be able to do a disengage and grab Crystal. That's a
dilemma for Taylor. What if she disengages but goes to a little bit further
than Crystal is so she can try and reach back so like out of melee
range, but she can get it and get her. I mean, you
can do that. She's not gonna leave Crystal behind, but she is,
like I can't get hit. Yeah. Okay, so Bentley, I want
you to roll two. D twenty is still just beating. So Bentley's stop
being Oh my god, did you want to sixteen one and twelve? It's
thirteen combined though, which is still your numbers today, Tyler. I guess
Tyler, I feel really bad for you. I'm gonna let you roll this
die one time because you're the only person who's scared now, the only person
that hasn't done anything. Yeah, that's not entirely true. Richard also has
Okay, so you like this, this this range surge from God? Okay,
all right, you you said, sorry, I have the power of
God and Anime on my side. No, I kind of picture. It's
what he realized. It wasn't working. He's just like Jesus, take the
wheel. So what do you do? Well, Bentley's not scared anymore,
so he's gonna run at the spider dude and try to attack him. Okay,
so he is so like he's been so used to you, like being
not a thing. I'm gonna give you advantage because he's like not even paying
attention to you. I'm gonna swing first with the burning sort of god.
Okay, you tellus, let's say sixteen for real? Yeah? Oh hold
on, let me let me pull up his sheet. Oh no, sixteen
is going to be miss you whiff. You have another sword though, right,
yeah, I have another sword. I guess I'll swing. So here's
what I'm gonna say. As you whiff, you can drop the other sword
in your hand and swap that sword into your other hand. I'm going to
do that. I'm gonna drop drop the sword and then just come down with
both hands. Okay, I still have advantage, yes, and that this
could get really bad. Gnorri, how many smites are you doing? I
can only do the one. I can't multi charge it. I guess I
could. It's just a level one site. Okay, well roll roll your
dice and just remember you you double the number of dice you're rolling, so
your weapon dice, and you're gonna add an additional plus two for the flaming
Sword of God double double. Then that's a lot of damage. Sixteen twenty
twenty five thirty two about say you can stop counting, how do you want
to do it? Yeah, I'm literally just gonna come down with the Sword
of God, like thank you tallows and like just like come down with both
my hands and kind of cleave them from like shoulder to hip. Okay,
so Taylor Jacobs, because since you and Crystal are right there, you don't
have fear condition, but you're like backing up like this guy's no joke.
This is the first time anyone's hit you that hard. And then you just
see like he stops and you just see this bright light like melting through him
and as he falls in two pieces to each side, Bentley's standing there like
bathed in holy flame. Woo do you tell me that you could have done
that? This entire a gratitude today keeps the haters away, and that's why
