We have to pull you out of that thing's ma. Let's see,
all right, what are you guys going to do? I am incensed at
my compatriots commentary, so I'm going in first. Yeah, okay, well
there we go. Yeah, Page, don't fuck about with kids, if
Pajia, don't fuck about with being duped. This is not okay. Would
I have had any any prior knowledge to like, oh, a forest devil?
No? No, no, just specifically though, just like the strange
magic's imitating voices in deep woods. You've probably heard legends about that. Yeah,
but realistically, where you live, you probably think that that is specifically
pick dish magic. Yes, you wouldn't think that that belongs to some sort
of creature or entity. Very very few people have ever heard of a forest
devil. So I absolutely to believe that what I am seeing right now is
pick this magic. Make no bones about it. If you're wrong or not,
that is definitely what you believe right now, correct, Yes, because
like that that was something that was talked about a lot in that story.
Was like you'd go out because you hear like your friend's voice and they find
your head thrown over the wall the next day. Yeah, cute, fuck
this thing. I definitely wouldn't know anything else about it, but I think
I feel like I would definitely have picked up on this kind of situation where
like it's great, yo, homie, seriously, don't leave the fortress at
night, no matter what you hear. I don't care who you think you
hear out there. It's not them anyway. I believe combat starting with Padre
does sound like Padre wants to go first. Yeah, I do, And
I am not going to spend doom to interrupt you. What order do you
guys want to call? As always, I would prefer to go as close
to the front as possible, just so I can get my first shot off
without you know, threat of hitting any of my co workers. But that's
going to happen so well. October can go second pretty easily. This thing
is nine feet tall. You don't have to worry too much about hitting your
teammates. It's also lit up with lambent glowing light, so yeah, you
say it's the same color as the briers around it. Its skin is yes,
okay. The illusionary fire that's all over its body is like a magenta.
When it comes to leading my party through brambles, I'm only partially successful
when it comes to starting a fire. I've given us the edge against to
goddamn forest demons. You know what. You gave me the fire roll at
the time that I'm gonna meet it, so we'll take those. It's also
true that you guys had an easily transportable light source app the ready because of
how well you made the fire, So yeah, I just wish I could
have translated some of that to getting us to the bog fighting this guy in
the actual dark. Nah, I'm good, family, light him up.
You are the ones who wants to I am that ass so I intend to
hit him right in the teeth, all of them, as hard as I
can. The wolf yup or whatever this frogman is this I think the actual
analogy is you pull the bumble's teeth out. The bumble is likable, this
guy is not. Doesn't want to be I dentist, not yet, Adre
wants to be an herbalist. Quick find out if this dude bounces. We're
going to find out if he doesn't bounce him. In the interest of pumping
up the jams, I'm going to front load those two momentum to call shot
to the teeth. Okay, you can only spend one fortune, right,
yes, you can only spend one fortune. Ye, I'm going to spend
one fortune a hit. Yeah no, I um, I've picked up a
thing or two because I've had to, you know, actually fight some stuff
out here. So I'm rolling How many am I rolling? Two? Nice?
Plus whatever? If you want to spend doom or spend the other momentum,
then you can. But it's two nice. Do you focus on melee?
Two? Have to? Then you create so you get two successes automatically
if you're focusing all right, screw right here, we go right in the
teeth three successes, all right, because that too momentum. So yeah,
that's two momentum. Would you like to translate that into damage or put it
in the pot In this case, I would like to translate it into well,
can I do one in one? Yes, I'd like to do that
please. All right, So momentum is two, and you're adding plus one
to your damage total? Okay, six, which is one plus in effect,
I am going to spend two doom tokens so that he is not knocked
down. Sure, that was my re roll. Am I supposed to roll
one for the momentum I'm invested too. No, no, it just adds,
so that should be taking three four damage. You roll the total of
four damage. So yeah, you smash it right across the chops. It
snaps its jaws to try and break the quarter staff, but you're able to
get it out of the way in time. Oh good, it looks fairly
non plushed. Yeah, probably an expect it's dinner to fight back. I
guarantee you anything that's made it as far as fighting back, I know right.
If it wasn't going to fight back, it'd be in a dragon stomach.
Oh that'd be funny. Let's just learn this thing of a dragon.
I guarantee you the dragon doesn't come this far north because brambles are stupid,
and this thing doesn't go that far south because brambles are cool. You're having
some sort of ultra. I're brambles versus the no man's and your term sucks.
Well, I'm just gonna stay over here then, and I'm gonna stay
over here. But yeah, yeah, yeah, couldn't get me. No,
you can't get me. We're just gonna agree to disagree. What's a
man of bro? You come over here? Fight? Not bro? Why
don't you come on over here? You're scared over here? No man,
I'm not scared. Why don't you come on over here and say that to
my face? Repeat ad nauseum optimer as, since I know you like to
go people, It is Captain thorn Diver's turn. Shoot this m effort.
I kind of like bramble diver arrow to the string, pull back. I'll
take a quick action to aim. I don't think I need to call shot.
If I love that this thing is visible where I can see it over
Oh yeah, you have a real You have most of this thing's chest,
its shoulders, and its head and it is literally lit up and glowing.
Yeah, but I'm sure that whatever the game is gonna say, I hit
it in the legs, which is conveniently phader high. Go for it.
I'm not going to spend a momentum because other people are going to need that
to not die, I guess, including maybe me. But I I believe
spending the quick action to aim gives me the extra momentum to spend, So
I'm going to spend it. You're aiming instead of moving right right, So
I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna roll three dice, I guess. Okay,
all right, so that means you need two successes to hit it.
Okay, that's fine, I'll roll three dice. What are the odds I
get no successes on? You say that? Eighteen eighteen twenty Jesus Christ feels
good to be back at the seat, baby Socks. I have to ask
you, would you like your complication? Yes? Or would you like this
the complicate me? What happens? So I spontaneously combusts this lightning converge on
my location. You did roll the quickening explode into splinters, dealing one six
damage to all friendlies within five feet of me at me with it. I
don't care. I'm completely non fucking plus I'm trying to think about it.
Give you a man, It doesn't make sense for you to run out of
arrows on your first shot of the carbat after having a week of breath time.
My nuts are out and I've got nothing to protect me. So take
a shot and hit me in him. Corey, you should have just taken
the dude. You should have just not given him a chance. If I
took the dude again, he's gonna get all pussy any here. We are,
here, we are, even though it literally says in the book that
that is by right, it's the key. I'm waiting, Daddy, complicate
me. Jesus Christ, Jesus can't save us now, Jordan, you really
can't be salvation. True, that's fast. Ah shit. You hit Phaedra's
quarter staff and knock it out of her hands. Perfect, love it,
love it, perfect, good shot. It's great. What a million kid,
I mean it had the force to knock it out of my hands.
Eighteen eighteen twenty. Your ass is lucky you didn't roll multiple twenties on hatsets,
My ass lucky. Are we looking at games. It's time for Ricardo
Vega. It's a freak. It's time for Ricardo Vega. Yeah, fucking
kill me, Ricardo. It's sad us all socks. Nobody's gonna die except
maybe call Yeah Ricardo when he sees Padre get disarmed, just let's have a
bellow. Go bastard charges him. We're spending a fortune. Point? Can
I spend multiple momentum? You can spend multiple momentum to give yourself up to
five dice five dice, Yeah, starting it too. Bear in mind how
many doomed to get a dice one? So if you wanted to spend two
momentum and give me one doom, you could do that to max out your
dice pool. I will spend listen, I need more dog anyway, unfortune
one momentum one Yeah, so he can only spend one momentum if he's already
spending a fortune, that's true. Yeah, can I spend a momentum and
a doom? So getting a gentlement in a bank, I will give you
one doom. I don't like it. That is five successes on him.
You better believe that whatever it extreme points. I was sorry. Whatever six
is momentum to damage. You generated four momentum on that hit. Would you
like to spend all of them to juice damage. I'm spending all of them
to juice damage on this day. So you're starting at four damage plus whatever
you roll, you got three effects, all right, hold up, let
me three the weapon damage his three and then oh yeah, and it's vicious.
So that is all right, So you did hand damage. I'm also
be rolling those two zeros excuse me once, all right, So we're at
damage now, but we could have more. Yeah we could a two and
a one. I don't know what that means. And that's another three damage.
So that brings you up to thirteen damage. Sick. So Ricardo rolls
in. He's got the sword ready to swing as he sprints, and he
just like baseball swings, aiming for like the net collar bone region as usual,
because he is Ricardo motherfucking Vega. He hits this and his sword absolutely
shatters. Hate to love
