[00:00:05] Speaker A: You are listening to an atomic broadcasting production. So sit back, relax and enjoy the feature presentation. And remember, do your part. Such as like, comment rate and don't forget to tell a friend to tune in for an atomic time.
[00:00:25] Speaker B: And divided up the treasure among them.
Now, where did we leave off?
[00:00:35] Speaker A: Ah, yes.
[00:00:38] Speaker B: The party defeated a mimic and divided up the treasure among them.
Proceeding deeper, they found an old woman lighting candles who said she was expecting them.
[00:00:57] Speaker C: I wanted to know when maple donuts were invented, but there's a company called Maple Donut and it was 48 or 46 or something. I don't care about that.
[00:01:06] Speaker D: Wow.
[00:01:07] Speaker E: Maple was one of the first toppings for donuts.
[00:01:09] Speaker C: But I'm also getting maple bacon donut, and I don't want that maple flavor. And donuts.
Baple makin.
[00:01:18] Speaker D: Bapel makin.
What are you looking up over there?
[00:01:24] Speaker C: Bacon.
Maple donuts.
[00:01:28] Speaker A: Bacon.
Ha.
[00:01:31] Speaker D: What are you trying to find out.
[00:01:32] Speaker C: The origin of, like, when the flavor of maple donuts came to be.
[00:01:37] Speaker D: I mean, probably a long time ago. Maple is like a. One of the cardinal.
[00:01:41] Speaker C: Exactly. I want to know that. But there's a company called Maple Donuts and that.
[00:01:48] Speaker D: Well, they may not have been. They may not have been the first one.
[00:01:50] Speaker A: How about maple flavored donuts?
[00:01:52] Speaker C: I typed in when were maple flavored donuts invented?
[00:01:56] Speaker F: In 1847.
Gregory first put the hole in the donut.
[00:02:03] Speaker E: Is it weird that whenever an old fact says in American, my immediate thought is like, is it really like? Or is it like that?
[00:02:13] Speaker C: That's just what we, you know, I'm asking AI.
[00:02:15] Speaker A: So that is an interesting thing because since America is extremely young in the grand scheme of things, you know, what can we point to that is specifically American?
[00:02:27] Speaker E: I don't want to talk about that. But I do want to talk about.
[00:02:31] Speaker C: Is this a sponsored segment?
[00:02:34] Speaker E: Well, not now.
[00:02:35] Speaker D: The Swirls Bakery in Omaha, Nebraska started a maple bacon donut craze with its version, some sometimes referred to as the Elvis.
[00:02:44] Speaker C: Oh.
[00:02:44] Speaker D: The bakery's owner, Dawn Brown, said she wanted something shocking that people would love or hate and would talk about.
[00:02:51] Speaker C: When was this?
[00:02:52] Speaker D: I don't know. It doesn't give me a date.
[00:02:53] Speaker E: Well, who hates maple donuts?
[00:02:57] Speaker A: They're not my favorite.
[00:02:58] Speaker E: But do you hate them?
[00:02:59] Speaker A: I don't know about hate exactly.
[00:03:01] Speaker C: How can you hate a donut?
[00:03:02] Speaker D: I like maple donuts. I'm not a huge fan of maple bacon donuts.
[00:03:06] Speaker E: Agreed.
[00:03:08] Speaker D: I like maple bacon, but it's usually if I have actual bacon and some of my maple syrup for my pancakes gets on my bacon, there you go bacon.
[00:03:17] Speaker F: I like maple is pretty good.
[00:03:19] Speaker E: I like maple donuts more than I like the normal, like normal glaze.
[00:03:24] Speaker B: Yeah, speaking of glazing, can we. Are we going to glaze over Sam saying bacon's overhyped?
[00:03:29] Speaker E: Yes.
[00:03:29] Speaker D: Yeah, I'm not acknowledging the fact that he just spoke heresy.
[00:03:33] Speaker C: Yeah, we don't have to just bacon.
[00:03:35] Speaker F: It's not special.
[00:03:36] Speaker E: On Sam's side, you're not special. The love of bacon was actually a marketing tactic done by Hardee's in the early 2000s. But have you had it because they had too much bacon for their sandwiches?
[00:03:46] Speaker F: You're all just part of the corporate machine. Break out.
Get out of there, sheeple.
[00:03:51] Speaker E: I have had it. I do like bacon. I had it this morning.
[00:03:53] Speaker C: I don't care if it was a ploy. I like bacon.
[00:03:56] Speaker E: You could like bacon.
[00:03:57] Speaker B: How dare they deceive me into liking something I like.
[00:04:00] Speaker F: I don't dislike bacon. It's just not generally what I go for.
[00:04:04] Speaker D: So do you prefer sausage over bacon?
[00:04:06] Speaker E: No.
[00:04:06] Speaker F: I mean, sausage is fine too.
[00:04:08] Speaker D: So do you just not like breakfast meat?
[00:04:10] Speaker F: No, I love breakfast food.
[00:04:12] Speaker E: Okay, that's not what you mean.
[00:04:13] Speaker C: You said food.
[00:04:14] Speaker D: I said breakfast meat.
[00:04:15] Speaker F: Yeah, just as long as there's other stuff with it.
[00:04:17] Speaker C: Wait now hold on. Bacon is not just a breakfast meat. It is everything meat.
[00:04:22] Speaker B: It's an every time food.
[00:04:23] Speaker E: Yeah, it is an.
[00:04:24] Speaker D: It is breakfast in my mind.
[00:04:25] Speaker C: Breakfast, second breakfast, lunch.
[00:04:27] Speaker E: If bacon is an every time meat, then why is it not with the other meats? Why do I have to get it next to the eggs?
[00:04:33] Speaker C: Because it's special.
Bacon is in a category of its own.
[00:04:39] Speaker D: Okay.
[00:04:39] Speaker A: Why is your bacon next to the eggs? Where do you go?
[00:04:42] Speaker D: Where do you shop?
[00:04:43] Speaker A: Any grocery store.
[00:04:45] Speaker E: Where do you shop?
[00:04:46] Speaker B: Sven goes to the bacon store.
[00:04:48] Speaker F: Bacon's next to the eggs where I am too.
[00:04:50] Speaker D: Yeah. Where do you shop, Sven?
[00:04:53] Speaker E: Sven is now thinking about his trying.
[00:04:55] Speaker C: To think of worth in my neighborhood grocery store. The bacon is with the other meats. Like ham and beef.
[00:05:03] Speaker F: Yeah. My meats are also next to the eggs.
[00:05:06] Speaker C: Well, no, the eggs all like the.
[00:05:07] Speaker F: Deli meats and everything are next to the bacon.
[00:05:09] Speaker C: They're with the dairy.
Yeah.
[00:05:11] Speaker F: And then the dairy is on the other side of the egg.
[00:05:13] Speaker E: Where do you people shop?
[00:05:15] Speaker D: Why do you have a neighborhood layout of where things are?
[00:05:18] Speaker C: Why wouldn't you?
[00:05:20] Speaker E: It makes making your shopping list.
[00:05:22] Speaker F: We go there every week.
[00:05:23] Speaker A: So here's you're going there. I don't have. Listen, I just moved.
[00:05:26] Speaker D: I don't have a grocery store yet.
[00:05:29] Speaker B: Things are Heating up in the grocery fandom.
[00:05:31] Speaker E: Where are the eggs?
[00:05:32] Speaker A: So, well, there's the deal. I don't really pay attention to the eggs because I don't get eggs from the store.
[00:05:37] Speaker F: Well, that's fair.
[00:05:38] Speaker D: Well that there's. There's the issue.
[00:05:40] Speaker C: There are like 10 farms.
[00:05:41] Speaker E: He doesn' Can I also get eggs?
[00:05:44] Speaker A: It's my mother, father in law.
[00:05:46] Speaker E: I'll give them $5.
[00:05:49] Speaker D: I mean that's about how expensive eggs actually are.
[00:05:52] Speaker C: Hey, they're like 10 bucks.
[00:05:54] Speaker D: That's ridiculous.
[00:05:56] Speaker F: To draw it back to breakfast, you need something like a pancake or a waffle to be your main breakfast carbs.
[00:06:02] Speaker A: No, no.
[00:06:03] Speaker F: Yeah, that's a main breakfast.
[00:06:04] Speaker C: Some places don't even eat breakfast.
[00:06:05] Speaker F: And then you get eggs. Eggs are great too. And then you have the option of a meat on the side.
[00:06:11] Speaker A: Well, no. See, here's the deal. For a properly healthy.
[00:06:16] Speaker D: Oh dear Lord. We're not talking about a health breakfast.
[00:06:20] Speaker E: Listen here what Sven is saying.
[00:06:23] Speaker A: You need all your major. You need your protein, you need your carbs, you need your. You need all of it. Because breakfast should be the largest meal of the day.
[00:06:31] Speaker E: I was literally just about to bring this up. I want to go back to a time where breakfast is the largest meal and dinner, it's just like a tiny little snack.
[00:06:37] Speaker A: Yeah. And then lunch is kind of your medium. And then dinner is really supposed to be more light because you're going to bed right afterwards and that's the worst time to digest.
[00:06:45] Speaker C: Yes, it's true.
[00:06:46] Speaker F: That's why.
That's why they say you really shouldn't eat dinner after six.
[00:06:50] Speaker E: Yeah, yeah, but I don't want to wake up at 3am to make.
[00:06:53] Speaker D: I'm sorry.
Some of us work until 6 and we don't go get home until like 7. So then you have to eat and then immediately go to bed. Cuz you wake up at four the next day cuz you have an opening sh.
[00:07:05] Speaker F: And that's a problem with society.
[00:07:06] Speaker A: That is a failing of society.
And that is actually a More on the mining and factory.
[00:07:14] Speaker F: However, IHOP.
[00:07:15] Speaker D: Thank you Industrial Revolution.
[00:07:17] Speaker F: IHOP at 2am is pretty great.
[00:07:18] Speaker E: Thank you.

[00:08:34] Speaker E: Atomic Breakfast.
[00:08:38] Speaker D: I forgot the name of our own network for a second.
[00:08:41] Speaker B: I think this would be the bomb.
[00:08:42] Speaker F: I can already see the intro.
We need, like, an atomic era microwave. And then, like, it ticks as it's loading. And once we're ready to go live, it dings.
[00:08:51] Speaker A: And then I'm making Glow in the Dark pancakes.
[00:08:54] Speaker D: Now that does not sound healthy.
I don't want to eat that.
[00:08:58] Speaker F: I have a waffle maker that makes D20 pancakes.
[00:09:00] Speaker A: Ooh.
[00:09:01] Speaker F: Not like three dimensions.

[00:10:12] Speaker A: I don't know. Cinnamon and sugar.
[00:10:13] Speaker D: Oh, I can make that.
[00:10:15] Speaker C: There is no time for this.
[00:10:16] Speaker F: She actually makes a really good cinnamon. Because that's what I asked for.
[00:10:19] Speaker A: We're having this in the breakfast.
[00:10:20] Speaker D: I make a good cinnamon bread.

[00:10:32] Speaker D: This is the episode. We're not actually fighting, Mother. We're doing this.
[00:10:35] Speaker B: We're just starting big breakfast right here, right now.
[00:10:37] Speaker F: Does she have a good cookbook?
[00:10:40] Speaker B: She looks like she's got a lot of experience either cooking breakfasts or consuming breakfast.
[00:10:45] Speaker D: Oh, my gosh. The map is in the freaking image of a triangle. Illuminati.
[00:10:49] Speaker A: Oh, it's Illuminati.
It has the little eye symbol, too.
Oh, she looks.
[00:10:56] Speaker C: We're jumping ahead.
[00:10:57] Speaker D: She looks like she could have been cute.
[00:11:00] Speaker A: She needs to cut her nails.
[00:11:01] Speaker C: Now that's just rude.
[00:11:02] Speaker E: I platonically love her.
[00:11:06] Speaker A: Well, that's good. That's your grandmother.
[00:11:09] Speaker B: We're.
[00:11:10] Speaker C: We're nervous about this fight, and we don't want to start it.
[00:11:12] Speaker D: Exactly. That is why we're delayed.
[00:11:13] Speaker F: That's your little sister from the future.
[00:11:15] Speaker E: Oh, my goodness.
[00:11:16] Speaker F: Give her a broom.
[00:11:17] Speaker C: She won't fight.
[00:11:17] Speaker D: Gosh, yes.
[00:11:19] Speaker B: I can tell you're nervous.
[00:11:22] Speaker F: All right, evil mother, stop your ritual now.
[00:11:28] Speaker D: That sounded so convincing.
[00:11:29] Speaker F: Thank you. Of course.
[00:11:32] Speaker B: She gestures out with open hands.
Please come in and have a talk.
[00:11:39] Speaker F: Val's gonna lean over to the others and whisper, like, can any of you put out any of those candles from a distance?
[00:11:47] Speaker C: I can blow really hard.
[00:11:49] Speaker B: What did.
[00:11:52] Speaker C: It's not working.
[00:11:53] Speaker E: Can I snuff out one of the candles with my mage hand?
Telekinetic hand?
[00:11:58] Speaker C: Magus hand.
[00:11:59] Speaker E: Magus hand.
[00:12:00] Speaker B: I suppose you can A hand.
[00:12:01] Speaker E: I'm gonna do it.
[00:12:03] Speaker B: The candle just goes out, and a small tendril of smoke just trickles up, just right up past her face, and she looks down.
Now, that wasn't very polite.
I'm an old woman. It's difficult for me to bend down.
[00:12:21] Speaker F: Well, don't hide behind being an old woman.
[00:12:25] Speaker E: Raising an army of the dead isn't really polite either. And then we're gonna snuff out another one.
[00:12:32] Speaker C: Are we doing this? Are we snuffing?
I start doing it with my magus hands as well.
[00:12:38] Speaker F: Kendall, you're committing crimes against nature.
[00:12:43] Speaker E: Also, Val, I don't actually think us snuffing out the candles is gonna do it.
[00:12:46] Speaker F: I wasn't sure they were in a Circle. And she was dating it when we got here.
[00:12:49] Speaker C: If we make it dark, I can be better at things.
[00:12:52] Speaker B: Val. As you begin talking, mother kind of gets a curious look on her face and tilts her head to the side and looks closer.
[00:13:01] Speaker F: Ah, that makes sense that you're committing crimes against nature.
[00:13:08] Speaker E: I think she just did a recall knowledge check on you.
[00:13:12] Speaker F: That means Sam should have wrote, I feel like.
I feel so seen in a bad way.
[00:13:20] Speaker B: You've been away for so long, child.
[00:13:24] Speaker E: Do you know her?
[00:13:25] Speaker F: What?
[00:13:26] Speaker D: What?
[00:13:26] Speaker E: Yeah, Val did some work for them.
[00:13:28] Speaker F: Huh?
[00:13:29] Speaker C: What?
[00:13:30] Speaker E: It was like part of whole Val's thing because Hayman went to go talk.
[00:13:32] Speaker A: And then found out that you were there.
[00:13:34] Speaker E: Daitha was like, you know, just send briefly.
[00:13:37] Speaker F: But not the mother.
[00:13:39] Speaker B: Well, that's correct.
[00:13:42] Speaker F: I know you.
[00:13:44] Speaker B: No, no, you wouldn't.
[00:13:47] Speaker F: Okay.
[00:13:47] Speaker B: Your grandmother, though.
[00:13:51] Speaker F: What about my grandmother?
[00:13:53] Speaker B: You.
[00:13:53] Speaker A: You have a. Well, of course you have a grandmother, but who's your grandmother?
[00:13:57] Speaker F: I don't know. Do you think. You think Xavier wanted to talk to any of his parents?
[00:14:01] Speaker A: Which grandmother?
[00:14:03] Speaker B: You have two.
[00:14:04] Speaker F: I don't know. I.
I assume future me might have explained my past to you.
No, I'll explain it later.
[00:14:17] Speaker E: In about 40 years. Remind me.
[00:14:22] Speaker A: That'S not how this works. That's not how any of this works.
[00:14:27] Speaker B: Your past child.
Did no one ever tell you what your markings mean? And she gestures on her cheek where your tattoos are.
[00:14:37] Speaker F: And she kind of feels it. She's got her. The music notes over it that she replaced. Used to have the. No, the feathers. The feathers are over it.
She kind of feels along the feathers like, this isn't.
I don't.
My father.
He merely said it was some. Something. The family tradition.
I was tattooed when I was young.
[00:15:00] Speaker A: You did mention that part.
[00:15:01] Speaker F: Thank you.
[00:15:07] Speaker B: Well, if that hatred wasn't passed down through the family to you, then there is a chance for you to return.
[00:15:17] Speaker F: What hatred?
[00:15:21] Speaker B: The hatred of the family.
Those who split away.
[00:15:28] Speaker F: Oh, frick.
[00:15:32] Speaker A: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
[00:15:33] Speaker E: So that cracked theory that Val was an Ericson.
[00:15:37] Speaker D: Ericson was right.
Geordi just slowly nodding.
[00:15:45] Speaker B: This has been canon since before we started the game.
[00:15:48] Speaker D: Are you serious?
[00:15:51] Speaker F: I didn't know about it. Why are you looking at me?
[00:15:53] Speaker E: I.
[00:15:53] Speaker D: You came up with backstories, huh?
[00:15:58] Speaker F: She having the realization, kind of lowers her weapon just a little bit, and then kind of remembers that feeling of when she was with Pharasma and feels like. Kind of like a warmth where her pendant is. And she just grips tighter on the weapon and she's like.
If my past has anything to do with creatures like you, then it's no good.
I have a mission, and it involves destroying monsters like you. I don't care what you have to say about me.
[00:16:38] Speaker B: That's quite a shame.
[00:16:43] Speaker A: So, not to interrupt this touching moment, are you going to attack us, or are we going to attack you?
[00:16:53] Speaker E: Wait, what's going on?
[00:16:55] Speaker C: What are you even doing?
Speaking to Mother from the back?
[00:17:00] Speaker F: I'm gonna take a step forward.
[00:17:01] Speaker A: Einar will take. Follow me.
[00:17:05] Speaker B: Just an innocent old woman in the catacombs, paying her respects to the departed.
[00:17:11] Speaker A: You're anything but innocent, Mother.
[00:17:15] Speaker F: You're going to raise an army of these things.
[00:17:18] Speaker B: Goodness me.
Raising an army of the undead with my own eyes.
[00:17:25] Speaker C: What are you doing exactly, besides lighting candles?
[00:17:31] Speaker F: It's a wonderful image of Einar being, like, super intimidating. Line by his legs if he's like. But, like, what are you doing?
[00:17:41] Speaker C: Like, ask questions first, kill later. I mean, you can't ask the dead questions.
[00:17:46] Speaker D: Yes, you can.
[00:17:47] Speaker E: I guess you can.
[00:17:49] Speaker B: I can confirm.
[00:17:50] Speaker F: Cut to 15 minutes ago.
Val's talking to the spirits.
[00:17:56] Speaker B: Well, if you're so opposed to my supposed raising of the undead, why don't you come in and explain the error of my ways?
[00:18:08] Speaker F: So that's what you're doing.
Can I, like, look in our path to her to make sure there's, like.
It's not, like, a trap, or we're gonna walk into something and something's gonna trigger, go crazy.
[00:18:20] Speaker B: Make a perception check.
[00:18:22] Speaker F: Can I roll religion with my eyes?
[00:18:26] Speaker B: You can roll your eyes and then roll perception.
[00:18:29] Speaker F: We'll roll perception.
[00:18:35] Speaker D: I should not have looked at you.
[00:18:37] Speaker F: The one that I forgot to bring.
I'll return it one day.
[00:18:41] Speaker E: No, he won't.
[00:18:43] Speaker F: 25.
[00:18:46] Speaker B: The ground seems generally clear, but you do notice a trail of dust that's just, like, along the corner of the room and leading back the way you came.
[00:18:56] Speaker A: Hey, Jordy. Evens or odds?
[00:18:59] Speaker B: I choose evens.
[00:19:01] Speaker F: Can I disturb the dust trail?
[00:19:03] Speaker B: Potentially.
[00:19:06] Speaker A: Einar is too focused on Mother to make that perception check.
[00:19:10] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:19:10] Speaker F: It's just, like, on the ground, right next to me.
[00:19:13] Speaker B: So you just start, like, scuffing it with your foot.
[00:19:16] Speaker F: Yeah, just, like, breaking the trail.
[00:19:19] Speaker B: What are you doing?
[00:19:21] Speaker F: What am I doing? I'm breaking this trail of evil stuff.
[00:19:25] Speaker B: Evil stuff?
You children don't even know what you're messing with.
[00:19:30] Speaker C: Oh, it's true. Because you won't give us a straight answer.
Talking very circly.
[00:19:35] Speaker F: I know.
[00:19:36] Speaker B: Fine.
I'm raising an army of the undead, we called it.
[00:19:40] Speaker F: That's all.
[00:19:41] Speaker A: I knew.
[00:19:41] Speaker F: We knew that we Knew that Phrasmus tasked me to kill you.
[00:19:45] Speaker B: Apparently, your short friend was out of the loop.
[00:19:47] Speaker E: No, he knew that too. He was just curious about what you're, like, doing right now.
[00:19:51] Speaker C: Well, I mean, I also wanted to confirm things, you know?
[00:19:54] Speaker A: Oh, can you.
What are you doing?
[00:19:57] Speaker F: I'm breaking this trail of stuff.
[00:19:59] Speaker A: Okay. Now, I look at that.
[00:20:03] Speaker B: You also see the trail of dust leading back the way.
[00:20:06] Speaker E: An occultism check on it.
[00:20:08] Speaker B: Make a crafting check.
[00:20:10] Speaker C: It's a bit dusty.
[00:20:12] Speaker F: It's a bit dusty. After I break that, I'm going to, like, start stepping forward some.
[00:20:17] Speaker B: Okay. Before you step forward, I want to get Alward's crafting check.
[00:20:21] Speaker E: It's weird that I'm not good at that. My crafting is.
[00:20:25] Speaker F: My crafting is pretty high. Would I be able to have done that?
[00:20:28] Speaker B: Sure.
[00:20:29] Speaker F: Okay.
[00:20:29] Speaker E: You can. 28.
[00:20:31] Speaker F: Oh, that's a pretty good roll, buddy.
[00:20:33] Speaker E: Thanks.
[00:20:35] Speaker F: Yeah.
23. That's much better.
[00:20:39] Speaker B: Alward is able to recognize this as black powder.
[00:20:43] Speaker F: Oh, dang. She's gonna blow something up.
[00:20:46] Speaker C: Not anymore.
You broke the chain.
[00:20:48] Speaker D: Like, explosive black powder, or is this something else?
[00:20:51] Speaker B: Yes, like, explosive black powder.
[00:20:53] Speaker E: Okay. And it runs from behind us.
[00:20:55] Speaker B: It starts in that entryway and just trails back the way you came.
[00:21:01] Speaker E: I'm going to use telekinetic rend to mess up any visible area that she can see of the black powder. All the way back as far as I could see.
[00:21:12] Speaker B: I think casting a cantrip like that would mean initiative.
[00:21:18] Speaker E: Then maybe I won't do that.
[00:21:19] Speaker F: I'd go for it.
[00:21:20] Speaker E: Yeah, go for it.
[00:21:21] Speaker C: Okay, question real quick, before we start that I have my Dark roads ability, is this room in bright light anywhere.
[00:21:30] Speaker B: That I'm going to say, these torches are fairly dim, so as long as there's at least one space between you and a torch, it would be dim light.
[00:21:39] Speaker C: So I have 60ft that I can move in.
While everybody's talking, I would like to dip into the shadows and appear potentially over here. If that is not considered an initiative move.
[00:21:54] Speaker D: Where's over here?
Can you describe it for our audience?
[00:21:57] Speaker C: I can't.
[00:21:59] Speaker B: On the right side of the room, in some shadows, behind pillars, in this little.
[00:22:02] Speaker C: This little spot here.
[00:22:03] Speaker B: Zafir, I'm gonna ask for a stealth check. You can roll this one openly. If you pass your stealth check, I'll let you do that before Alward does his cantrip and before initiative starts. If you fail that, then you won't be able to do it in time. Okay.
[00:22:21] Speaker C: Was that 26? Yeah.
[00:22:24] Speaker B: Yeah. That's not gonna succeed.
[00:22:25] Speaker C: Well, Dang.
[00:22:26] Speaker B: Okay, so that would have to happen probably after Alward starts Initiative here. So let's go ahead and roll for Initiative.
Oh, gosh.
[00:22:36] Speaker F: I just thought of something I want. That would have been cool to do before Initiative started, but now.
[00:22:40] Speaker D: I mean, we all knew this was coming.
[00:22:42] Speaker B: Alward, what's your initiative?
[00:22:44] Speaker F: It's okay, Jake.
[00:22:45] Speaker E: At least it doesn't count as an actual one.
[00:22:49] Speaker B: So what's your total?
[00:22:51] Speaker E: Sixteen, I think.
Yeah.
[00:22:54] Speaker B: All right. Zafir.
[00:22:58] Speaker C: 34.
[00:23:00] Speaker F: Val, can I use religion?
[00:23:03] Speaker B: That's fair.
[00:23:04] Speaker E: I love that.
[00:23:05] Speaker B: That's fair.
[00:23:05] Speaker F: Wow. Wonderful.
[00:23:07] Speaker B: Since you are religiously motivated to get into this fight.
[00:23:09] Speaker F: I'm so religiously motivated.
33.
[00:23:13] Speaker D: Neros 19.
[00:23:16] Speaker A: And Einar 27.
[00:23:18] Speaker B: Alright, so Alward, you've seen this trail of black powder and you've decided you're gonna use your telekinetic rend to disrupt the powder. As you start doing that, and you try to manipulate the time stream to make sure that you get to do that before anything else happens, something doesn't go quite right. Those. The threads of light that you're trying to manipulate just fall between your fingers. And while you're struggling to try and grasp them, Mother springs into action.
[00:23:43] Speaker E: She fast the 40.
[00:23:46] Speaker C: Dang.
[00:23:47] Speaker B: She may have rolled well on her initiative.
[00:23:49] Speaker D: Oh, dang, guys, we're screwed.
[00:23:53] Speaker C: Spry for an old woman.
[00:23:55] Speaker D: Someone gon die.
[00:23:56] Speaker B: She reaches into the pocket of her robe and just pulls out this white powdery ash and just sprinkles it around over the candles and then snaps her fingers and they all instantly light.
[00:24:07] Speaker C: Oh, all that work for nothing.
[00:24:10] Speaker B: And from behind you, you just hear a cacophony of rattling and clattering of bones.
[00:24:18] Speaker D: My gosh, that pit.
And we're in the bottleneck.
[00:24:24] Speaker E: Does anybody have create wall as a spell?
[00:24:28] Speaker D: Is that an actual spell?
[00:24:29] Speaker E: There are so many wall spells.
[00:24:30] Speaker F: Oh, wall of flesh.
[00:24:32] Speaker E: Yeah. Wall of flesh. Wall of wood. Wall of stone. Wall of fire.
[00:24:35] Speaker F: Wall of St. Skellies.
[00:24:36] Speaker B: And then she says these catacombs will be your tomb. And holds her hands up in front of her as the air in front of her just starts shimmering and looks more difficult to see through.
Zafir, it's your turn.
[00:24:50] Speaker C: So this is going to be a weird question.
Can I think back to potentially think of where that black powder may have led to?
[00:25:01] Speaker B: Good question.
[00:25:03] Speaker C: Because now that I know that it's there, I can potentially have the awareness of. Oh, yeah, I did see that, didn't I?
[00:25:10] Speaker B: I want you to make a perception check, but do it with misfortune so you're gonna roll twice and take the lower.
[00:25:15] Speaker C: Okay.
Okay, so not much difference.
What's 6 plus 9?
[00:25:23] Speaker F: 15.
[00:25:24] Speaker A: 15.
[00:25:25] Speaker C: Okay, so 25.
[00:25:27] Speaker B: 25, you say I add the single.
[00:25:29] Speaker C: Digits, and then I add 10.
[00:25:30] Speaker A: I love.
[00:25:31] Speaker D: No, I do the same thing. I understand what you're.
[00:25:34] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, I get it.
[00:25:36] Speaker B: So, as you're thinking back, you remember this trail of dust. And now that you know what to look for, you're just going back, cycling through the images in your memory. You remember that trail going back through. You noticed some powder on the side of the wall in the room full of bones. And then with a 25, you remember some dust falling out of the pouch of the Resistance member as she was leaving.
[00:26:01] Speaker F: They were a traitor.
[00:26:03] Speaker C: Are you sure it was a traitor? Or do you think that that Resistance member was trying to block the door?
[00:26:09] Speaker F: Oh, it could go either.
[00:26:11] Speaker D: It could be. It could go.
[00:26:12] Speaker F: She seemed pretty upset about it, the old woman.
[00:26:15] Speaker D: I mean, she could also just be a really good liar.
[00:26:18] Speaker F: It's true. But I would have sensed it.
I'm perfect at telling a lie.
[00:26:23] Speaker D: Val. Whatever.
[00:26:26] Speaker C: I have to make this decision. If I don't.
[00:26:27] Speaker F: And, like, literally, if you set that up, that could be, like, really, really, really bad. It could be horrible, but it could also be really great.
[00:26:37] Speaker C: Did you say it went into the Room of Bones, or did you say it.
[00:26:40] Speaker B: It went along the floor into the Room of Bones, and then kind of went up onto crevices along the wall to get through the Room of Bones back to the entryway.
[00:26:48] Speaker E: See, the.
[00:26:50] Speaker C: Okay, My brain says she was going to try to block it us down. Block us in.
Can we retreat?
[00:26:57] Speaker D: I think it's too late, dude.
[00:26:59] Speaker C: I. We're still in the entrance.
[00:27:00] Speaker E: Yeah, but we have to cross.
[00:27:01] Speaker D: But we have an entire chasma bones that is coming alive right now, and I don't. I don't think it.
[00:27:07] Speaker E: That we have to cross.
[00:27:09] Speaker D: That we have to cross. Exactly. I don't think we can do anything except potentially kill her.
[00:27:13] Speaker C: So either way, we're kind of screwed.
[00:27:15] Speaker B: Zier, the clock is ticking. Things are happening. What are you going to do on your turn?
[00:27:20] Speaker C: I'm gonna wait, see what happens.
[00:27:23] Speaker D: So you're gonna delay?
[00:27:24] Speaker C: I'm gonna delay. Yeah.
[00:27:26] Speaker D: That is the smart thing to do against a boss.
[00:27:29] Speaker B: Val, you're up.
[00:27:32] Speaker F: Val is thinking on her history and what little bit she's actually learned about her real family.
And as she's doing that, the feather tattoos on her face start moving down her face and, like, they disappear into her armor and, like, some of those crackly Stuff starts coming out and forming behind her as the feathers start, like, coming out of her armor, and they form into two giant wings behind her.
[00:28:04] Speaker E: I hope there's enough room.
[00:28:06] Speaker D: Nephilim. Val.
[00:28:09] Speaker F: And she looks up and says, I've chosen my family.
And then I'm just going to, like, fly behind and above her.
All right, and that is my turn.
[00:28:23] Speaker B: Zafir, would you like to act now, or do you want to continue delaying?
[00:28:26] Speaker C: I'm going to continue delaying.
[00:28:27] Speaker B: All right.
The rattling bones in the pit behind you start coalescing and collecting on the surface. One full skeleton starts pulling itself out as just a horde of skeletons just start climbing out of the pit behind you.
[00:28:43] Speaker D: Oh, my gosh.
[00:28:44] Speaker B: Zafir, would you like to act now, or would you continue to, like.
[00:28:49] Speaker D: Can the Resistance come and help us?
[00:28:52] Speaker E: The Resistance is dead.
[00:28:55] Speaker D: That means Gwips is dead.
[00:28:57] Speaker E: That means I'm dead. Apparently.
[00:28:59] Speaker C: That hoard of skeleton things is, like, right next to me, isn't it?
[00:29:03] Speaker B: Yeah, they're, like, 10ft away.
[00:29:05] Speaker C: Okay.
Those who are smarter than me. Does sure Strike involve spells or.
[00:29:12] Speaker E: It's an action and the next strike you make or attack, I believe.
[00:29:16] Speaker C: Yeah, just attack in particular. So it can be a spell as well.
[00:29:20] Speaker F: The next time you make an attack roll before the end of your turn.
[00:29:24] Speaker E: So if you use it and then spell strike, technically, that'll be fine.
[00:29:28] Speaker C: That's not what I was going to use.
[00:29:30] Speaker F: You ignore any circumstance penalties to the attack and concealment, it's probably gonna go really badly.
[00:29:38] Speaker C: I'm going to cast sure Strike.
Wait, that's not an attack roll.
It's a will save.
So I'm just gonna sit. I'm hating. I'm about to do this and probably fail.
[00:29:49] Speaker D: Don't say that.
[00:29:50] Speaker C: It's not gonna work because I'm just gonna do it.
[00:29:55] Speaker E: We believe in you.
[00:29:56] Speaker D: How do you know it's not going to work?
[00:29:58] Speaker C: Because it's a Will save.
[00:30:00] Speaker E: Her greatest save is definitely fortitude.
[00:30:02] Speaker C: Can I get a Will Save?
[00:30:04] Speaker B: All right.
[00:30:05] Speaker E: From the skeletons or from Mother?
[00:30:06] Speaker C: From Mother. DC27, I believe you could always use.
[00:30:10] Speaker F: A hero point and make her roll worse.
[00:30:12] Speaker C: Do I have any?
[00:30:14] Speaker F: I don't know.
[00:30:16] Speaker C: I don't.
[00:30:17] Speaker B: You said 27 regular success.
[00:30:21] Speaker C: Okay, let me just get out 8D6 here because I've cast Vision of Death.
[00:30:27] Speaker F: Oh.
[00:30:28] Speaker B: Oh, I didn't see that coming.
[00:30:33] Speaker A: That look.
[00:30:36] Speaker B: That's my I just made a bad pun look.
[00:30:39] Speaker E: I feel like I know what that spell is.
[00:30:42] Speaker A: It's been used.
[00:30:44] Speaker C: On me. Yeah, that's where I learned it.
Oh, that's where my other D6s went.
That's pretty good. So she's gonna take half damage from this. But 31, 34, 36. So 16, that would round.
[00:31:07] Speaker F: Oh, half of 36 is 18.
[00:31:10] Speaker C: Thank you, math. So 18. And she is frightened. One.
[00:31:14] Speaker D: Wow, that's still pretty good. Frightened. I mean, debuffing is good.
[00:31:20] Speaker B: Frightened. One on a regular. On a succeeded save, that's impressive.
[00:31:24] Speaker A: I'm guessing on a fail, it'd be frightened, too.
[00:31:26] Speaker E: Yeah. On our critical, it's frightened four and fleeing.
[00:31:30] Speaker F: Frightened for and fleeing. As long as it's.
[00:31:32] Speaker D: What is this spell?
[00:31:33] Speaker C: Vision of death.
[00:31:34] Speaker D: Wow.
[00:31:35] Speaker C: So, outwardly, you don't really see anything happen, but you see a scowl across Zafir's face and, I don't know, he just kind of looks at her and he thinks back to when Datha did the same thing to him and cast vision of death on Mother.
[00:31:53] Speaker A: You are the perfect assassin.
[00:31:57] Speaker C: Not anymore, but, yeah, you can get.
[00:32:01] Speaker E: Used a little bit, you know?
[00:32:04] Speaker B: She looks shaken, but not nearly as affected as Zafir was when it was cast on him.
[00:32:11] Speaker F: So she's not stirred.
[00:32:13] Speaker B: Shaken, but not stirred. Zafir, I think you have one action left.
[00:32:17] Speaker C: I would like to recall knowledge. Is that a thing I can do on a unique person?
[00:32:21] Speaker B: Yes. It's more difficult.
[00:32:24] Speaker C: Guys, what should I ask for? For her specifically?
[00:32:27] Speaker B: What's your society bonus?
[00:32:30] Speaker C: 15.
[00:32:32] Speaker F: Wow. It's not bad.
[00:32:33] Speaker C: I still need something to ask.
[00:32:35] Speaker F: Unless he just tells you.
[00:32:36] Speaker B: Nah, nah.
[00:32:40] Speaker C: Can I ask a question anyway and just get silence?
[00:32:42] Speaker B: Sure.
[00:32:42] Speaker C: What's your favorite color?
[00:32:45] Speaker A: Green.
[00:32:46] Speaker F: No.
[00:32:46] Speaker E: You weren't supposed to answer.
[00:32:48] Speaker B: Black.
[00:32:49] Speaker C: I didn't.
[00:32:50] Speaker B: You don't get what you want.
[00:32:51] Speaker A: You failed your role.
[00:32:53] Speaker F: She shops at Hot Topic.
[00:32:55] Speaker D: I mean, the coolest grandmother ever shopping at Hot Topic.
[00:33:01] Speaker A: She's really into the skeleton. I want Dungeons and Dragons T shirts.
[00:33:06] Speaker B: Einar so stressed out.
[00:33:09] Speaker C: Why do you think I delayed three times? Twice. Two times. Three times.
[00:33:12] Speaker A: Okay, I know what I'm doing.
[00:33:15] Speaker D: Congratulations.
[00:33:17] Speaker A: Einar sees Val charge in right behind Mother.
He looks back where they came, where everybody came.
And he says, this is your fight. This is all of your fight.
And he turns behind to get behind all of you, Readying his shield and his sword.
Kill head. Fix the timeline.
I'll watch your back.
And you see him blink. It seems to blink out of that moment as he casts bend time and appears in front of that skeletal horde.
Slams his sword against his shield.
Your fight is with me, me spirits.
As he vicious swings into the horde.
[00:34:20] Speaker B: All right.
[00:34:21] Speaker C: May I ask a question about that horde real quick?
[00:34:23] Speaker A: Sure.
[00:34:23] Speaker E: Is it cold at all?
[00:34:25] Speaker C: Seems like a random question, but I did hit it with a spell back when we came in.
[00:34:30] Speaker B: Not these ones.
These ones are closer to the door.
[00:34:34] Speaker C: Well, they're close.
[00:34:34] Speaker B: You hit the north side of the pile with the cold.
[00:34:37] Speaker F: This is a south side skeleton pile.
[00:34:39] Speaker B: It's warmer there.
[00:34:40] Speaker C: What is the range of frostbite?
[00:34:42] Speaker F: They're meaner.
[00:34:43] Speaker E: Not long.
[00:34:44] Speaker A: 32.
[00:34:45] Speaker B: That's a hit.
[00:34:46] Speaker E: Okay.
[00:34:47] Speaker A: Not a critical.
I rolled an 11 and that wasn't a critical.
[00:34:53] Speaker F: Oh, how bad? How terrible.
[00:34:56] Speaker E: Hey, fighter problems, man.
[00:34:57] Speaker A: Disappointed in myself.
[00:34:59] Speaker F: Oh, better.
[00:35:01] Speaker A: I will try.21 damage.
Three of that is fire.
[00:35:11] Speaker B: All right.
[00:35:12] Speaker F: It really is warm over there.
[00:35:15] Speaker B: The fire damage doesn't seem to go through.
And as you might expect, swinging a sword at bones isn't particularly effective.
But with as hard as you're swinging and your skill with wielding the weapon, you do notice that a couple of the skeletons in the front just kind of shatter and collapse. The horde is still holding together, but you have done some damage to thin them out of it.
[00:35:38] Speaker F: I love troops in this game. Such a cool mechanic.
[00:35:43] Speaker A: And for his last action after that huge swing, he places the shield in front like a shield wall and raises shield, but nice. Ready to hold them back.
[00:35:59] Speaker B: All right, Neros, you're up.
[00:36:03] Speaker D: How far away am I from mother?
[00:36:07] Speaker F: 45Ft.
[00:36:08] Speaker B: Yes, 45ft from mother.
[00:36:10] Speaker D: If I cast.
Never mind. I'm going to step up 10. No, not all the way up there.
Right, that's fine. Right where you put me. Right on the stairs leading into the room.
[00:36:27] Speaker B: So just 10ft closer.
[00:36:28] Speaker D: Yeah, that'll. That'll work. And then I would like to cast noise blast in a ten foot burst. That only hits Mother, not Val.
[00:36:38] Speaker B: All right.
[00:36:39] Speaker D: And I need a fortitude save.
[00:36:41] Speaker B: Fortitude.
[00:36:42] Speaker F: It's okay if you hit me.
[00:36:44] Speaker D: I don't want to hit you, Val.
[00:36:45] Speaker F: I do appreciate that.
[00:36:46] Speaker B: What's your DC27? That's a regular fail.
[00:36:49] Speaker F: Hey.
Okay, nice.
[00:36:54] Speaker D: Where's my lucky, lucky dice?
[00:36:56] Speaker F: You have like six sets of dice sitting in front of me.
[00:36:58] Speaker D: I know. Some of them are lucky, Some of them aren't.
[00:37:02] Speaker F: Oh, my gosh. There's two more.
[00:37:04] Speaker D: There's three sets to my left.
[00:37:07] Speaker F: What?
[00:37:08] Speaker D: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 to my right, 7 to my right.
[00:37:13] Speaker F: You have 10 sets of dice?
[00:37:15] Speaker D: Yes, I do.
Oh, my gosh.
Okay, well, that one's going in the trash.
[00:37:24] Speaker F: That bad?
[00:37:26] Speaker D: It's pretty bad.
So that's nine whole damage out of a possible 20.
And you're deafened for one round.
[00:37:40] Speaker B: What.
[00:37:42] Speaker F: Oh, no. Everything I say, all my. All my cool stuff I'll say on my channel of him, not her.
[00:37:47] Speaker D: And then I'm going to spend a focus point and cast some tentacle arms.
[00:37:54] Speaker C: Wow.
[00:37:55] Speaker F: What?
[00:37:58] Speaker D: Sorry, sorry. Tenticular limbs.
[00:38:01] Speaker A: You have 10 of them.
[00:38:04] Speaker D: That's. That's my turn.
[00:38:06] Speaker B: All right. And Alward, you're up Next. You're about 10ft away from the skeletal horde that Einar is holding back and about 4, 45ft away from Mother.
[00:38:13] Speaker E: Okay.
Alward kind of looks like he's coming out of a daze and he's already casting telekinetic rend.
I am going to amp it, though. That way I get three. How far away is mother from me?
[00:38:27] Speaker B: 45Ft.
[00:38:29] Speaker E: My range is 60.
[00:38:31] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:38:32] Speaker E: So a five foot thing on mother.
Five foot burst on where? At one of the trails leading out.
And then a five foot burst on the skeleton.
[00:38:42] Speaker B: Nice.
[00:38:43] Speaker E: And they all need to make a fortitude save.
[00:38:47] Speaker B: All right, so what is your DC72?
[00:38:51] Speaker E: 28.
[00:38:53] Speaker F: 28'S pretty good, man.
[00:38:55] Speaker E: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:38:57] Speaker B: Mother got a regular success, as did the skeletons.
[00:39:02] Speaker F: What about the black powder?
[00:39:03] Speaker B: The black powder got a critical fail. It is great. Gone. It's gone.
[00:39:07] Speaker E: Just got to steal your dice, petite. All right, so I get to deal. 3d6 bludgeoning and 3d6 slashing.
I'll do the bludgeoning first.
9 bludgeoning damage on both the skeletons and Mother. And then seven slashing damage.
[00:39:28] Speaker B: Okay. Mother takes some damage from the T. The taikaka Nalakaran.
[00:39:32] Speaker E: The Taikakakaka.
[00:39:34] Speaker B: And the black powder's trail next to Zafir is disrupted. And the skeletons that are pressing against Einar are severely weakened by just the buffeting telekinetic force in their area.
[00:39:48] Speaker E: None of them critically fail. But that will never happen. That's okay.
[00:39:50] Speaker B: I believe you have one action.
[00:39:51] Speaker E: I do. So as Alward fully comes back into the present time from trying to look into the future and gauge what's about to happen, his moats start to glow.
And his eyes also start to glow. And I'm going to cast hypercognition.
Anybody want to give me five D twenties?
[00:40:10] Speaker F: I got three right here.
[00:40:11] Speaker E: Oh, beautiful. I need two more.
Awesome.
[00:40:14] Speaker F: You love a good Sam. Die. There's three of them.
[00:40:17] Speaker E: So I get to do six recall knowledges.
How many do we want on the skeleton?
[00:40:25] Speaker A: Dang.
[00:40:27] Speaker F: I don't think we needed any other skeletons.
[00:40:29] Speaker D: I don't either. There's. It's a skeleton horde.
[00:40:31] Speaker C: No bones about it.
[00:40:32] Speaker E: Then I would like to do two on the ritual.
To see if there's any way we can stop it. Even though it seems like it's already, like progressing.
Three on mother.
Just because.
And then I have one more. What? Should I use my last one? One for me and then one on Z? No, we'll just. Yeah, we'll throw one at the skeleton, just cuz.
[00:40:58] Speaker B: Okay, so two ritual. Three mother, one skeleton.
[00:41:01] Speaker E: All right, I'm gonna do the ritual first. I don't know whose dies.
[00:41:03] Speaker D: Sounds like the title of a really bad sitcom.
[00:41:06] Speaker E: What skill is the ritual for occultism? Occult? I guess you'd have to roll these, wouldn't you?
[00:41:11] Speaker B: Yeah. What's your bonus?
[00:41:12] Speaker F: We just gave him all those.
[00:41:14] Speaker B: It was very cinematic.
[00:41:15] Speaker E: I let it pass. These.
[00:41:17] Speaker F: How dare you just get all these back like a bunch of losers.
[00:41:22] Speaker A: Here, Roll my dice.
[00:41:24] Speaker E: My occultism is 19.
I do want to mention my special specifically for the ritual. If I don't succeed either one, I will use my time shenanigans to try and succeed for a third time.
[00:41:39] Speaker B: Okay, what would you like to know? Let's see. So you just want basic information on your first one. It's not a creature, so it's just information.
[00:41:48] Speaker E: Yeah. So what I want to know is, is the ritual still being complete and is there a way for us to stop it from completing or is it like already in the end phase? Nothing we can do.
[00:41:58] Speaker B: As you're racking your brain, just this like, time slowing. As you're thinking through, going back through all of your research on these sorts of things, you really.
[00:42:07] Speaker E: I'm tapping into the God mind of the plane of law.
[00:42:09] Speaker B: Oh, pardon me. As you're tapping into the God mind of the plane of law, I'm getting.
[00:42:15] Speaker E: Information directly from Abadar Jordi.
[00:42:19] Speaker B: Legally speaking.
[00:42:23] Speaker F: This patient.
[00:42:24] Speaker A: Doctor, you're actually in violation.
[00:42:31] Speaker B: Your honor, this is in violation of the natural order.
So what you know is that this is a modified version of a regular just rouse the dead ritual that seems to have been expanded and tied to a life force. And at first you're thinking that it's tied to mother's life force, but then you. You stop and you realize there's no way that mother's life force would be able to sustain these many undead. And you realize that she is the conduit that's being tied to some extra planar entity that's very interested in undead.
[00:43:07] Speaker E: There's so many of those.
Okay, was that just one roll or do I get another?
[00:43:13] Speaker B: That's one.
[00:43:13] Speaker E: Okay.
[00:43:15] Speaker B: What more specific information would you like on your second success?
[00:43:20] Speaker E: What would be a Way to cut off that connection.
[00:43:23] Speaker B: The cleanest and easiest way to do that would be to kill Mother.
[00:43:27] Speaker E: Any way to do it without killing Mother.
[00:43:29] Speaker F: Why would we not kill Mother?
[00:43:30] Speaker E: In case it's faster.
[00:43:33] Speaker A: He just said the safest and cleanest.
[00:43:35] Speaker E: He didn't say the quickest.
[00:43:36] Speaker F: That is true.
[00:43:38] Speaker B: There would be a counter ritual you could do. However, it would take a An equal amount of time to set up this counter ritual. And from the looks of it, this ritual took about a week to complete.
[00:43:48] Speaker E: Rituals man. Okay, and then let's do the one on the bony man.
[00:43:53] Speaker B: All right. The bony man.
[00:43:54] Speaker F: What happened to rituals that you could just walk up and, like, disturb the.
[00:43:57] Speaker E: Salt and it was done right. I missed. Those.
[00:44:02] Speaker A: Rituals have progressed enough.
[00:44:06] Speaker B: All right. So this is a level 11 skeletal infantry.
[00:44:11] Speaker D: Level 11?
[00:44:13] Speaker E: Yes.
[00:44:13] Speaker F: No, it's not definitely two levels above Einar.
[00:44:15] Speaker B: What would you like to know?
[00:44:16] Speaker D: You might be in danger.
[00:44:17] Speaker C: Einar's got this.
[00:44:19] Speaker E: I should probably mention that my damage is an area of effect. Yes, okay.
[00:44:25] Speaker B: I took that into account.
[00:44:26] Speaker E: Good.
Since I mentioned it, let's learn about the area of effect.
[00:44:30] Speaker B: Sure. So, this is a troop.
So troops have an interesting thing where they take additional damage from AOEs. And they can take up a certain number of squares based off of how much health that unit has left. And as you're dealing more damage to the troop, they take up fewer spaces on the board. They often have abilities called like form up. That lets them reallocate where their units are. So they don't necessarily take up a square on the board. They can form into a line, for instance.
Now, that being said, this group of skeletons does seem unusually small for a troop.
[00:45:08] Speaker E: Cool. Let's get Mother's rolls.
[00:45:10] Speaker B: All right. What's your society bonus?
[00:45:13] Speaker E: 22.
[00:45:14] Speaker B: All right.
[00:45:15] Speaker E: Oh, and I'm a master.
[00:45:17] Speaker B: So Mother is a level 11 necromancer.
[00:45:21] Speaker E: And what would you like to know about her saves?
[00:45:24] Speaker B: Saves? Her weakest save is fortitude.
[00:45:26] Speaker E: Good to know. I got three more rolls, shorty. All right, roll number two or two more rolls?
[00:45:32] Speaker A: I hope my dice are doing you well.
[00:45:34] Speaker E: I hope so, too.
[00:45:35] Speaker B: What is your next question?
[00:45:38] Speaker E: Weird question. Is she sanctified or the other one?
[00:45:41] Speaker B: She is unholy.
[00:45:43] Speaker D: There you go, Val.
[00:45:44] Speaker F: Holy dab.
[00:45:45] Speaker E: And did I get anything on the third two questions?
[00:45:48] Speaker B: Oh, you got a nat20.
[00:45:51] Speaker E: Hey. Oh, thank you, Sven, with your clunker of a die.
My new favorite die.
Two questions.
Yeah, what? Does she have any special abilities?
[00:46:03] Speaker B: Why? Funny you should ask.
She has an ability called Nudge the scales.
[00:46:10] Speaker F: Oh, no.
[00:46:12] Speaker B: Which lets her that doesn't sound good. Manipulate life forces.
She can either attune to life or death herself and can use this ability to heal a creature whether it's living or undead.
[00:46:25] Speaker D: Oh, my gosh.
Guys, we gotta take her out for dinner and then kill her.
[00:46:32] Speaker A: Take her out?
[00:46:33] Speaker E: Am I allowed to ask what God she worships?
Nah, I'm not gonna. It would be part of society. I would argue.
[00:46:40] Speaker B: I think.
I think. As time has slowed and you are hypercogniting, you notice that she's wearing an amulet of Ergothoa?
[00:46:49] Speaker E: Yeah. Okay, is that part of my questions, or can I just ask another?
[00:46:52] Speaker B: You can ask another.
[00:46:53] Speaker E: All right.
[00:46:53] Speaker F: I'm really happy we didn't bring the amulet in with us.
[00:46:56] Speaker D: Oh, my gosh. Can you imagine?
[00:46:58] Speaker B: Where was that amulet?
[00:46:59] Speaker D: Wait, I have.
[00:47:01] Speaker B: I'm pretty sure I have it.
[00:47:03] Speaker A: Shoot.
[00:47:04] Speaker D: Crap.
[00:47:06] Speaker E: Resistances.
[00:47:08] Speaker B: No resistances.
[00:47:09] Speaker E: Okay, that concludes our typing into the God mind. And my turn.
[00:47:15] Speaker B: Thank you for accessing the God mind. Please come again.
[00:47:18] Speaker E: My motes start to, like, slowly fade and shimmer away, and I'm going to sort of shout at Val that she's unholy and is worshiping Urgothoa, and that's probably how she's summoning so much undead.
[00:47:35] Speaker B: Fair enough.
[00:47:36] Speaker F: Cool.
[00:47:37] Speaker B: As alward's turn ends, more skeletons begin climbing out of the pit and reinforcing for the bones that have been damaged and the skeletons that have been dispersed. And the rabble seems to have regained its former strength.
[00:47:51] Speaker D: Cool, cool. Cool.
[00:47:53] Speaker B: That brings us back to Mother's turn.
All right, let me look down this list of things that she can.
[00:48:01] Speaker D: Oh, my gosh, can she do none of them?
[00:48:04] Speaker C: What if we distract him? Can we distract him enough? Can we just start sending him discord messages? Pop him up on a screen?
[00:48:09] Speaker A: How.
[00:48:10] Speaker B: How high up are you flying?
[00:48:11] Speaker F: 10Ft. Okay, okay, I'm in range with my glaive.
[00:48:15] Speaker C: It's a long glaive.
[00:48:17] Speaker B: You'd be shocked at how many things she cannot do because of that choice.
[00:48:21] Speaker F: Thank you. I'm happy I did that.
[00:48:24] Speaker B: Luckily, the thing that I really wanted her to. To do, she can do.
[00:48:28] Speaker F: I don't like that.
[00:48:29] Speaker B: I'm gonna need a will save.
[00:48:32] Speaker D: From who?
[00:48:32] Speaker B: From Val.
[00:48:33] Speaker F: I'm good at that.
36.
[00:48:38] Speaker B: Nice. That's a regular success.
[00:48:40] Speaker F: No, wait.
[00:48:40] Speaker B: Oh.
[00:48:43] Speaker F: 38. Sorry.
[00:48:44] Speaker B: Nice. That's a regular success.
[00:48:46] Speaker D: That's a regular success.
[00:48:48] Speaker E: Well, she's level 11.
[00:48:50] Speaker D: I don't care. We're level nine.
[00:48:54] Speaker B: So you're gonna take half damage. So you only take 11 mental damage.
[00:48:58] Speaker F: Great.
[00:48:59] Speaker B: And because you Succeeded. You're gonna avoid all of the nasty effects that would have targeted a creature that can cast divine spells.
[00:49:06] Speaker F: Did you just use crisis of faith?
[00:49:08] Speaker B: Crisis of faith?
[00:49:09] Speaker F: I have crisis of faith.
[00:49:10] Speaker B: Val, you feel that same like that scar and that like infection that was working through you, just kind of emanating from the stump of where your arm was removed. And you just kind of feel like this burning sensation as you feel a tug at your very soul. But with that sex success on your will save, you're able to resist and stay focused on your mission.
[00:49:37] Speaker F: Cool. That's okay.
[00:49:41] Speaker B: And then mother is going to just focus and just for one moment, all of her veins just run black as she seems to regain some form of energy.
[00:49:53] Speaker F: Just heal herself.
I don't like that.
[00:49:58] Speaker D: Excuse me. Can you not evilly laugh around me?
[00:50:02] Speaker B: No, I want to.
[00:50:04] Speaker D: It's traumatizing.
[00:50:07] Speaker B: And with that, it is now Val's turn.
[00:50:11] Speaker F: So as she's like feeling that doubt kind of pulling, she breaks through it. She's like, you will not make me doubt. I will smite you down. And I cast smite on her, designating her as my smite target. And she's unholy, so I get extra damage against her.
Alright, there's two things. I'm going to do a weapon attack with my glaive real quick.
[00:50:35] Speaker B: Oh yes.
[00:50:37] Speaker F: It's 37 to hit with my glaive. That's a hit just a regular against a caster. I don't like that. Okay, sorry.
[00:50:46] Speaker B: I was just laughing to myself at the mental picture of Val. Like, you know, I will stay true to my purpose. I smite thee. A mother goes. What?
[00:50:55] Speaker D: She's dead.
[00:50:58] Speaker F: She do had the auditory trait.
[00:51:00] Speaker B: No.
[00:51:00] Speaker E: Okay, it 37 is a normal.
[00:51:04] Speaker D: Yeah, it's infuriating.
[00:51:07] Speaker F: That's 26 slashing and cold damage.
And also holy damage.
[00:51:14] Speaker B: Did you add your bonus damage from smiting?
[00:51:16] Speaker F: Yeah. And then I just realized I was going to use the two action attack and I was like, no, I have lay on hands. I'll use that as well on her. And I'm like, I have to be within five feet of her.
[00:51:27] Speaker E: Do you not have extendo spell?
[00:51:29] Speaker F: I only have one action left. And no, I don't have extendo spell.
[00:51:32] Speaker C: Just throw your hands.
[00:51:34] Speaker E: Use mage hand.
[00:51:37] Speaker B: Just as a note. Sam, if you do not use an action to fly, you will fall to the ground.
[00:51:42] Speaker F: It just said I gain a fly speed.
[00:51:44] Speaker B: Yes, if you have a fly speed, you have to use an action to continue flying or you'll fall.
[00:51:48] Speaker E: Yeah, because flying is bonkers.
[00:51:50] Speaker B: Yeah. You can use an action to fly 0ft to hover in place. If you're airborne at the end of your turn and didn't use a fly action this round, you fall.
[00:51:58] Speaker F: Really?
[00:51:59] Speaker E: Yep.
[00:52:00] Speaker F: I. I guess I'll. I guess I'll do that.
[00:52:02] Speaker B: Okay, so you designate her as your smite target, smack her with your glaive from above, and then just continue maintaining your position with your wings.
[00:52:12] Speaker F: Yep.
[00:52:13] Speaker B: All right. The Skeletons by Einar are going to take their turn and they're going to first attempt to push past him.
[00:52:23] Speaker A: They're gonna trigger that reactor strike.
[00:52:26] Speaker B: So they're gonna make an athletics check. What's your fortitude?
[00:52:29] Speaker A: DC 10 plus. My fortitude. Is that correct?
30.
[00:52:34] Speaker B: So the skeletons begin pushing and you just brace yourself behind your shield and you just like scoot back a little bit and then you just shove them back and you hold your position.
But as they're doing so, a few of the skeletons just kind of like lash out at you and try to attack you. This one is going to just be. There's so many bones. It's not a strike check. They're just lashing out and there's damage in front of you. So I'm gonna need a reflex save.
[00:53:00] Speaker A: Oh, okay.
27.
[00:53:08] Speaker B: That's a regular success.
So you will take three bludgeoning damage.
[00:53:14] Speaker A: Owie.
[00:53:16] Speaker B: And that is the end of their turn. So we're back to Zafir.
[00:53:20] Speaker A: Okay, Wait, Jordy, does that count as them trying to move? Because that would trigger my reactive.
[00:53:26] Speaker B: They used an action with the move trait, but they didn't leave their square.
[00:53:29] Speaker F: I think that still activates. Yeah, it's a move action.
[00:53:32] Speaker B: Oh, really?
[00:53:33] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:53:33] Speaker B: I thought it was just if they leave their square.
[00:53:35] Speaker F: Nope.
[00:53:36] Speaker B: Well, then you can make a reactive strike because they try to push up against you.
[00:53:40] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:53:41] Speaker B: Well then we'll get back.
[00:53:42] Speaker C: I was so close.
[00:53:43] Speaker A: That's why I was like that. That triggers it.
I rolled the same thing last time I hit them. 33 or 30.
[00:53:52] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:53:53] Speaker B: This time it's not a hit. No, it's. It's still a hit.
[00:54:01] Speaker A: 20.
The fire damage doesn't matter. Nice, because there'd be five fire damage if it did.
[00:54:07] Speaker B: And again, they don't seem to take that full damage due to it being a slashing weapon on Bones.
But it does do some serious damage and clatters a few of the skeletons.
[00:54:18] Speaker A: You're not getting by me.
[00:54:22] Speaker B: Alright, Zafir, it's your turn.
[00:54:24] Speaker C: So Zafir, he looks over an Einar just kind of nods in agreement. Like Einar's got this.
And he runs past alward and goes up to Neros.
He's going to wave at her. That's a free action.
And then his needles that he's been grasping onto since the very beginning, even when he was rifling through the chest.
He takes one, lifts it high up in the air, and you start to see a cloud actually start to swirl around above his head and stretching a good 120ft.
[00:55:01] Speaker D: It's a big cloud. What?
[00:55:03] Speaker C: Yeah, it's 120 foot range. Is this what I think it is above? It might be. It might be.
[00:55:08] Speaker D: Please tell me it's what I think.
[00:55:10] Speaker C: It is Above Mother's head.
[00:55:11] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:55:13] Speaker C: And I will need a reflex save.
[00:55:17] Speaker B: What is your DC27 a regular success.
[00:55:23] Speaker C: She takes half damage.
[00:55:25] Speaker D: That's better than nothing.
[00:55:27] Speaker C: It's 3D12, so that's pretty good. Not gonna lie. That's pretty good.
[00:55:32] Speaker E: So pretty good. You almost rolled max on two dice.
[00:55:38] Speaker C: So that's 20. Yeah, 27 halved would be 13.
Thank you. Thank you.
From that cloud, a lightning bolt will come down and just strike her right from the top.
And I'm going to continue holding that. So every turn I start with for a minute, I will get to strike her again for another 1d12 each.
[00:56:03] Speaker E: Now, do you have to sustain that?
[00:56:05] Speaker C: I do not have to sustain. I just have to keep it lifted.
[00:56:10] Speaker B: Yeah. So this is draw the lightning. It's what I was thinking. This is an amazing spell for maguses.
So what this essentially does is now anytime you hit her with your weapon, then you add an extra 1D12 electricity to your weapon strikes.
[00:56:25] Speaker E: Including spell strikes.
[00:56:27] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:56:28] Speaker E: That is a really good spell for me.
[00:56:30] Speaker B: It's not like spending an action on your turn to zap her again. It's that you struck her with lightning and then now you're just. You've made a lightning attunement. So you can poke her and just add 1d12 lightning damage.
[00:56:40] Speaker C: What if I shoot her with the needle?
[00:56:44] Speaker B: It has to be the same weapon.
[00:56:46] Speaker C: I know. You take the needle and shoot her with it with the bow. Because I'm gonna have to get up to her.
[00:56:52] Speaker B: I mean, I suppose you could, but then you'd have to reclaim the weapon.
[00:56:56] Speaker C: Well, that's my turn.
[00:56:58] Speaker F: Nice.
[00:56:59] Speaker B: Nice. Nice indeed.
Einar, you're up.
[00:57:04] Speaker F: It's like you just went.
[00:57:05] Speaker A: It's like I did. It is just like I just win.
Inar lets out this huge battle cry as he throws away his shield, grabs his sword and lets out this second swing.
But this Time. It is called positioning assault.
And as I swing with basically I'm trying to push them back. I'm trying to bludgeon them with my sword back.
I'm gonna turn in a hero card.
[00:57:44] Speaker B: What did you roll originally?
[00:57:46] Speaker A: A NAT one.
[00:57:47] Speaker F: That could have been fun. You could have repositioned yourself.
[00:57:51] Speaker A: Yeah, let's not do that.
[00:57:53] Speaker B: Einar swings his sword, we zoom out and he's just in the middle of the skeletons.
[00:57:58] Speaker A: That's a 33.
[00:58:00] Speaker F: Oh, that's a different number.
[00:58:03] Speaker E: It's a very different number.
[00:58:05] Speaker B: Isn't that exactly the same as what you got in the last two?
Yeah, it's a regular success.
[00:58:12] Speaker F: He's a 30. 33 even number.
[00:58:15] Speaker B: Inar's consistent.
[00:58:21] Speaker E: You mean ASMR.
They're not.
[00:58:24] Speaker B: That's any.
[00:58:25] Speaker A: Sorry, it's ASMR.
[00:58:27] Speaker F: Are you sure he's not just shaking half angels.
[00:58:32] Speaker A: 14 damage.
[00:58:34] Speaker B: All right.
Not as much of that seems to go through as has been going through it.
[00:58:41] Speaker A: It was a more specific for that occasion. Oh, and if I can. I don't know if it works. This was just for fun.
They move backwards 5ft feet.
[00:58:52] Speaker B: So with that, as you push them back, you're. You just force that horde of skeletons back and a few of them further in the back lose their footing and fall back into the pit. So I'm going to go ahead and say that they take additional damage to their cohesion as a group as you knock the further ones back.
[00:59:12] Speaker A: Huzzah.
[00:59:13] Speaker F: Nice.
[00:59:14] Speaker C: I knew he had it.
[00:59:16] Speaker F: Had what?
[00:59:18] Speaker C: It.
[00:59:18] Speaker E: Oh, the it factor.
[00:59:21] Speaker F: That makes sense.
[00:59:22] Speaker A: And for those at home wondering about the rules, I also have powerful shove. Which means I can move creatures or something of that size.
[00:59:30] Speaker F: Neat.
[00:59:31] Speaker B: All right. And do you have one action remaining?
[00:59:33] Speaker A: I think no, because of that stupid rule that it takes an action to grab onto my sword.
[00:59:41] Speaker F: No, just take the action to put your other hand on the sword.
[00:59:46] Speaker D: Sven is gesturing angrily.
[00:59:49] Speaker B: All right, Neros, you're up.
[00:59:52] Speaker D: Well, I've been debating about doing this.
I don't know that it's going to work because of the type of save I need.
[00:59:59] Speaker F: Oh no, you have a hero point.
[01:00:02] Speaker D: I do have a hero point.
It might be worth it.
[01:00:07] Speaker F: Might be.
Could be.
[01:00:09] Speaker D: Give me a Will Save, please.
[01:00:11] Speaker B: All right.
[01:00:12] Speaker E: What you talking about?
[01:00:14] Speaker B: O.
[01:00:15] Speaker F: Well, hold on before you tell her.
Do you want to use your hero point?
[01:00:20] Speaker B: Do you want to accept what I've rolled or do you want to make me roll again?
[01:00:23] Speaker D: I want to give you disadvantage.
[01:00:25] Speaker B: All right.
What is your DC27?
That's a regular success.
[01:00:32] Speaker D: Are you kidding Me with disadvantage. I hate.
I hate this.
[01:00:36] Speaker E: We'll just assume without disadvantage, it was a critical success.
[01:00:39] Speaker D: I really hate this game.
[01:00:41] Speaker B: I will say one of the dice that I rolled would have been a critical success.
[01:00:44] Speaker E: Okay.
[01:00:46] Speaker D: Okay. Well, fine.
[01:00:49] Speaker E: What happens?
[01:00:52] Speaker D: You're stunned one.
[01:00:54] Speaker E: What were you doing?
[01:00:57] Speaker F: Wait, I think I know what you're.
[01:00:58] Speaker D: I was casting confusion.
[01:01:00] Speaker E: Oh.
[01:01:03] Speaker F: Oh, that's a really good spell.
[01:01:05] Speaker D: So instead of anything great happening, you're stunned one.
[01:01:10] Speaker E: That's still good. Stunned one on a caster.
That's brutal.
[01:01:15] Speaker D: You're stunned one. Congratulations.
[01:01:17] Speaker B: I am stunned only. You only lose one third of your actions, boss.
[01:01:24] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[01:01:25] Speaker B: Well, now I have to replan her entire turn.
[01:01:27] Speaker F: Yeah, because she uses one action to like, re up something with the vein.
[01:01:31] Speaker D: So because a failure would have been.
[01:01:34] Speaker F: Should have been what? Confused for a minute.
[01:01:36] Speaker D: She would have been confused for a minute.
[01:01:38] Speaker B: All right, Neros, do you have one action left?
[01:01:41] Speaker D: I'd like to move out of the bottleneck of the stairwell.
[01:01:44] Speaker B: Okay.
[01:01:46] Speaker D: Not all the way up there.
[01:01:48] Speaker B: Whoa.
[01:01:49] Speaker D: Move me up right past the opening into the room.
[01:01:54] Speaker B: So you've come into the room with mother and then. Then swung around to the side.
[01:01:58] Speaker D: Yes.
[01:01:59] Speaker B: So you're right at the end of the trail of black powder.
[01:02:02] Speaker D: Exactly where I want to be.
Beautiful.
That's my turn.
[01:02:08] Speaker B: Alward.
[01:02:09] Speaker E: Alward is going to turn, look at Aeonar and watch him push the skeletons back. And then he's going to hold up his hand and I need those skeletons.
It's a 20 foot burst, but I do not want it to 24 burst. You're not planning on moving forward, are you, Inar?
[01:02:31] Speaker A: I kind of have to if I want to keep hitting them.
[01:02:33] Speaker E: I mean, it's probably going to move.
[01:02:34] Speaker A: Up if I can push them off that mini cliff, which I can.
[01:02:40] Speaker E: Okay. So yeah, wherever the skeletons are. And hopefully not to hit Inar, because it's going to stay around. It's a lingering effect for one minute.
Ah, yeah.
[01:02:50] Speaker B: So it's gonna hit the skeletons, but Einar can still walk up to the doorway.
[01:02:53] Speaker A: Yeah, okay.
[01:02:54] Speaker E: Yeah, right there.
[01:02:56] Speaker B: What's happening in this 20 foot burst?
[01:02:57] Speaker A: Basically, I would be keeping him in it, whatever it is.
[01:03:02] Speaker E: So in that whole area, golden threads start to appear and time starts to stagnate and slow. Any creature that begins its turn in that area has to make a will save every single time.
If they fail, they are slowed 1 for that turn. If they critically fail, they are slow 2 for that turn. And they do this every turn, regardless of their thing. As long as they start their turn in There.
[01:03:29] Speaker A: Oh, that's a great combo.
[01:03:32] Speaker E: I've been thinking about this a lot, and it's one of the only time abilities that is a will save.
Everything else is a Fortitude save.
And then I'm going to nod to Einar and then cast Time Jump and move down 10ft away from Mother by the gravestone on the right.
[01:03:55] Speaker B: Okay. So closer to Mother than Neros. Kind of catty cornered. So there's like a triangle between Val, Alward and Neros.
[01:04:02] Speaker F: We're like the Eiffel Tower.
[01:04:04] Speaker A: I want to do something thematic.
Okay. As you cast this spell and you nod to Einar, it's almost as if there's a resonance. And you see the tattoos on him glow as you cast your magic.
[01:04:22] Speaker E: Just gonna tuck that away for later.
[01:04:25] Speaker A: And you see him do a slight nod back. He's not facing you, but. But out of the corner of his eye.
[01:04:33] Speaker E: I like that because right when you nod, I feel like I would cast Time Jump, then time freezes, and then I just meander my way down there.
[01:04:39] Speaker A: This is the rule of cool.
As time freezes, that's when you see Einard do that slight nod back to you.
[01:04:46] Speaker E: That's cool.
[01:04:47] Speaker B: That's fair.
I'll allow it.
[01:04:51] Speaker E: And that is my turn.
[01:04:53] Speaker B: All right.
It gets us to the skeletal horde. Gets to go again.
[01:04:58] Speaker E: Needs to make a will save. DC28, I believe.
Yeah.
[01:05:04] Speaker B: Failed by one.
[01:05:06] Speaker E: It is slowed one for its turn.
[01:05:09] Speaker B: So it's going to.
Yeah, they're going to use the ability Disorderly Charge, and they're gonna just, like, clamber back out of the pit. Just the few ones that are left together.
And I'm gonna need a reflex save as they're just flailing at you again.
Einar.
[01:05:29] Speaker A: They're not pushing against me like last time.
[01:05:31] Speaker B: Nope, they're just hitting you.
[01:05:32] Speaker A: Okay.
[01:05:33] Speaker B: Because they're slowed, they don't have the action economy to push you.
[01:05:37] Speaker E: I may be confused.
I thought the skeletons went before Zafir.
[01:05:42] Speaker B: They did.
[01:05:45] Speaker E: Don't like that.
[01:05:46] Speaker A: 32.
[01:05:48] Speaker B: That is a critical success.
So as they slowly come out of that area, you just casually dodge side to side.
[01:05:56] Speaker A: I like to think that he's using his sword to just bash them away.
[01:06:01] Speaker B: And because they were slowed, they're out. They've got nothing left to do.
[01:06:04] Speaker F: Aha.
[01:06:06] Speaker B: We're gonna begin round three.
Mother just, like, looks at Val and is just.
[01:06:15] Speaker C: Is that a spell?
[01:06:16] Speaker B: And then she, like, looks confused, scowls, and then looks at Neros.
And that's where we're going to end this episode.
[01:06:23] Speaker F: Uh.
[01:06:24] Speaker A: Oh.
[01:06:24] Speaker E: No, wait.
[01:06:26] Speaker F: Neros is too far away from my ability.
[01:06:29] Speaker E: I love how when Neros isn't being sassy, she's still the center of it.
[01:06:37] Speaker F: I wish Neros took one step forward so I can protect her.
[01:06:41] Speaker B: And the hero point for this episode goes to Einar for the character moment of him enabling the group to get in there and take care of Mother while he holds off a horde of skeletons.
[01:06:53] Speaker A: Well, I'm really glad that a character that I built for strength is able to finally use that in a good way.
[01:07:02] Speaker E: You've been way helpful a lot.
[01:07:06] Speaker A: I'm.
[01:07:10] Speaker F: Yep.
[01:07:10] Speaker A: Yeah, I kind of want breakfast, honestly, so I'm gonna go eat breakfast.
[01:07:16] Speaker F: Oh, let's go to IHOP after this.
