Isaac Allen Burns (00:31):
I don't know. Hang on. Wait. Where are we
going? We're off the rails.
Annie Hawthorne (00:36):
Sorry. We're talking about you. You activated
my lesbian mode.
Isaac Allen Burns (00:39):
I need to I need to be a good GM on
Railroad, y'all. Back to thestart of this session. Woah.
(01:53):
Hey. It's a podcast.
Hey. It's me, your GM, your goodfriend, and the one presenting
this here community report toyou right now. It is DodoBorne,
an actual play Daggerheartpodcast, where the 4 of us get
together and play Daggerheart.And a lot of other stuff will
happen. Stick around.
Find out. Don't touch that dial.We'll be right back after I
(02:13):
introduce the people at thiscircular table. Right across
from me, with a big smile ontheir face is Rowan Collins
Rowan Collins (02:21):
Squawk.
Isaac Allen Burns (02:22):
Playing pistachio. Across from Rowan is
Joe D'Amity playing Kapi.Squawk. And across the table
from Joe is 1, Annie Hawthorneplaying Crank. Squawk.
Squack. And squack, you too. I'mIsaac Allen Burns, your GM.
Joe Diametti (02:37):
Squawk to meet you. Wait.
Isaac Allen Burns (02:41):
Last time, my fellow dodos, if you recall,
after apprehending 1 Sebastian,you brought him back to the
station, AKA the adventuringguild headquarters. And after a
little bit of questioning, Kapi,in a brilliant moment of
realization, realized thatSebastian is only pretending to
be drunk. Immediately, realizinghe had been had, Sebastian
dropped a smoke bomb and madehis escape. Meanwhile, y'all ran
(03:02):
out onto the streets with nosight of Sebastian. But running
down the nighttime streets wasone Hazel, AKA Pistachio's twin
sister who said somethingterrible is going on at the
droop farm, and we're gonna pickup right as y'all get to the
farm.
The 3 of you see somethingdifferent happening in this
(03:22):
farm, something that you haven'tseen before. Standing a head
taller than a horse and abouttwice as ugly, you you see this
enormous insectoid creaturetowering over Pistachio's older
brother, Wally. A torch in onehand and a cage harvester in the
other, which if y'all don'tknow, is a thing that they use
to harvest nuts. It's like alittle cage. You roll on the
ground.
(03:43):
It picks up the nuts. It's notmeant to be a club, but
currently that is its purpose.As you see Wally sort of yelling
at it as as he's trying to,like, get the beast to flake,
this insectoid has, like, greeniridescent skin with these huge
wings that are folded up behindit. Got these enormous pincers
at its face that are just sortof clawing, and making a
(04:05):
horrific screeching sound that,by my own kindness, I will not
repeat to you. It's terrible tohear.
All of you are currently, Iwould say, very far away from
this thing, about a 100 feet.Pistachio, there's no sight of
your mom, but the house does notlook to be attacked. But,
Pistachio, you recognize yourdad is slumped on the ground
over to the side. He lookswounded. He looks like he's
(04:27):
moving and breathing, but, he'shurt.
Rowan Collins (04:29):
Oh, gosh. It's it's a publiccashew and Molly.
Come on, guys. We gotta go. And,
pistachio takes off. You could see they're kind
of bounding with a fun little,like, feature that fawns have
called leap, which means theycan leap up to a close range
across gaps or chasms or just,like, in general.
Isaac Allen Burns (04:49):
Yes. The a fawn's big old goat legs are
carrying you far ahead. Kapi andCrank, you see your friend is
leaping ahead very quickly,clearly distressed.
Annie Hawthorne (05:01):
I'm sprinting at full speed. I imagine I over
dick pistachio at some pointwith my iron legs.
Isaac Allen Burns (05:07):
And, Kathy, do you follow suit?
Joe Diametti (05:08):
Yeah. I I guess I just take off. I'm just like,
okay. Yeah. No plan.
No. It's fine. We'll just yep.Alright. The 3
Isaac Allen Burns (05:14):
of you head forward. And, hey. It's me,
your, GM, Isaac Allan Burns,here to tell you a little
something about Daggerheart,distances. Let's just take a
brief moment to talk aboutdistances, gang. How does that
sound?
It's like a blues clues moment.So, as we're aware, distance is
a thing that exists, not only inthis game, but kind of in real
(05:36):
life. There are various rangesin Daggerheart from melee to
very far that sort of helpsabstract just how far away
people are. Rather than gettingdown to the nitty gritty of a
grid, instead, we can kind ofdescribe things a little better.
But just to describe what theseare, very far, that means you're
about further than a 100 feetaway.
(05:58):
Far, which is the next step, isanywhere between a 100 feet 30
feet. Then there's close. Closeis between 10 to 30 feet. So
you're close enough to interactwith someone. Next is very
close.
That means that you are within10 feet of them. And then from
there is melee range, which mayas well be right on top of
somebody. Now the reason that Ibring this up is because the 3
(06:20):
of you are very far away. And inorder to get to a thing that is
very far away requires anagility check. Now, Rowan, could
you just one more time read outyour ability specifically for
me, please?
Rowan Collins (06:32):
It specifically talks about closing chasms or
gaps, but it says you can leapup to a close range across gaps
or chasms without making anagility roll.
Isaac Allen Burns (06:41):
So I'll say that you're probably, like, a
little high up. That leap wouldprobably get you at least close
to this thing for free. So we'regonna say that in this moment of
terror, our friend, Pistachio,is able to get there very
quickly. Now you 2 are very faraway. You're on foot.
Can I have both Kapi and Crankroll me an agility check?
Joe Diametti (07:01):
Yes.
Annie Hawthorne (07:04):
8 with hope.
Joe Diametti (07:05):
8 with hope? K. Got a 20 with fear.
Isaac Allen Burns (07:08):
Oh, no. That's so great. So we have
fear, Kapi, and we have hope,but very low roll. So,
pistachio, you run up, you canhear Kapi right behind you,
staying as close as he can. Youcan hear crank kinda in the
distance, as Tega is, you know,a little larger, a little
bigger, heavier footsteps.
As the 2 of you run up, you seeWally sort of waving this torch
(07:31):
in front of it, and it noticedthis large beast, this ugly,
terrible insectoid beast seesyou. So caveat the move I'm
gonna, because you rolled fear,the move here is you are within
close range of this thing now.However, on that fear, it's
gonna start this off by usingits action called spit acid,
where it's gonna make an attackagainst all targets in front of
the acid burrower within closerange. So I'm gonna roll some
(07:53):
dice here real fast.
Joe Diametti (07:54):
I imagine that crank's just, like, sinking in
the fields.
Isaac Allen Burns (07:58):
So I rolled 5 against Kapi. Does that beat
your evasion score? No. I rolleda 8 against pistachio. Does that
beat your evasion score?
Rowan Collins (08:07):
That is my evasion score.
Isaac Allen Burns (08:09):
Believe beats it beats it. And unfortunately
for Wally, I rolled really well.And that is a that is definitely
gonna be his difficulty of 10.So it heaves. You see a big lump
in its chest, and it spits outthis terrible acid.
Kapi, you see it coming. You'reable to dodge out of the way.
Pistachio, you're just a littletoo slow. The force carrying you
(08:29):
forward. The desperation, Ithink, inside of pistachio is
just carrying them forward alittle too quickly.
You're unable to miss it. You'regoing to take 7 damage. Is that,
major damage to you? Mhmm. Verygood.
So you're gonna take 1 HP, andyour armor score is halved till
the next time you repair it,which you can do so in a long
rest. Now Wally is not afighter, you guys. Wally has not
(08:52):
been training like y'all have.Wally has not been preparing
himself for a fight. He's beenfarming.
And he's a tough guy. But asthis acid hits him, you see it's
it basically takes a face firstof it. He howls in pain and goes
down.
Rowan Collins (09:07):
Volley.
Isaac Allen Burns (09:08):
And with that gang, what do you do? I'm gonna
say, Crank, you are it is goingto take another agility role to
be able to get here as you arekinda sinking into the fields.
It's very the ground is verysoft, and Crank is very heavy.
Annie Hawthorne (09:20):
Yeah. Well, I'll I'm keep I'm running. I'm
trying to get there as fast as Ican.
Isaac Allen Burns (09:23):
Go for it. Go ahead. Give me another agility
roll.
Annie Hawthorne (09:26):
That's a 10 with hope.
Isaac Allen Burns (09:27):
A 10 with hope. You are able to get there.
You are now within range. Thatis one. Action tracker.
Rowan Collins (09:33):
Capy, what do I do? Like, get you distracted. I
gotta take care of my brother myfather.
Joe Diametti (09:39):
Yeah. Get him out of here.
Rowan Collins (09:40):
Okay.
Joe Diametti (09:41):
I'm going to try.
Isaac Allen Burns (09:43):
Yeah. I so Capy do.
Joe Diametti (09:46):
He had this thing has wings. Right? Yes. Can it
fly? Is it, like, hovering abovethe ground, or is it, like,
planted in the ground?
Isaac Allen Burns (09:52):
It's barely planted on the ground. In fact,
Kapi, as you're looking at this,right, this isn't a role. This
is just exactly what Kapi sees.Kapi, you see this large
creature. It is standing on theground with 2 of its legs on the
ground and another 2 on theground behind that because it's
an insect, so it's got 6 legs.
You see a large hole behind it.It clearly burrowed up through
here, and you see the wings arekind of folded. It looks like it
(10:15):
can fly if it needs to. Mhmm.But you can see just kind of
based on its, just so based onthe way it looks, it it almost
looks vestigial, the wings.
It may not even be able to flyaway with how large it is, but
it might be like a bee.
Joe Diametti (10:31):
K. How much? This is my, this is a question for
our GM.
Isaac Allen Burns (10:35):
Hey. It's me, Isaac Cal Burns.
Joe Diametti (10:36):
Nice to talk to you. Nice nice to talk to you,
Isaac. My question is how muchwe learned what a handful of
money is. Yeah. How much is asoft of rope?
Isaac Allen Burns (10:46):
A soft of rope?
Joe Diametti (10:47):
That's in my equipment, I have a soft of
rope.
Isaac Allen Burns (10:50):
A soft of rope? Okay.
Annie Hawthorne (10:53):
Oh my god. I do too. Wait. No. I think that says
50 feet, man.
Joe Diametti (10:57):
Oh, that's a real life term?
Annie Hawthorne (11:00):
I think I think that's not an s. I think it's a
5.
Joe Diametti (11:03):
Oh, it
Rowan Collins (11:03):
does say 50 feet of room.
It looks like soft.
Annie Hawthorne (11:07):
It does look like soft. That's right, Lance.
Alright.
Joe Diametti (11:10):
It was it was it was leaned down just enough.
Annie Hawthorne (11:12):
It does look like soft. I'm not gonna lie.
They did not put a
Rowan Collins (11:15):
space on it. Alright.
Joe Diametti (11:16):
No. You're right. That's 50
Rowan Collins (11:17):
feet. Criticism for the people that made
Daggerheart. Different phones.
Annie Hawthorne (11:22):
Just a space. Just a space between 50
Joe Diametti (11:24):
and 50.
Annie Hawthorne (11:25):
50. So it's 50. Close. That feels. A soft of
rope.
Joe Diametti (11:29):
I was like, oh, dagger heart being fucked.
Rowan Collins (11:32):
As, the soft of rope
Annie Hawthorne (11:33):
is 50 feet.
Joe Diametti (11:34):
It felt like a soft full of mud. It's
Isaac Allen Burns (11:35):
now out.
Annie Hawthorne (11:36):
Well, it's soft of it's obviously 50 feet.
Isaac Allen Burns (11:38):
You know what? Now I'm just gonna call it
a soft. It's a soft of it's asoft of rope. A soft of rope is
a unit of rope that is 50 feet.Wow.
Thank
Joe Diametti (11:45):
you. You guys. Thank you, Isaac. Yeah.
Isaac Allen Burns (11:46):
Joe, it was really good.
Joe Diametti (11:47):
And able
Isaac Allen Burns (11:48):
to see that out, actually. I'm glad that's
canon now. That's actually thatwas a that was a choice.
Joe Diametti (11:52):
I I don't I'm sure that this is gonna be a crazy
roll, but I would I would liketo try this before things get
too out of hand. Okay. I wannatry to with Crank.
Isaac Allen Burns (12:01):
Please say lasso this time.
Joe Diametti (12:02):
Please say lasso. Yeah. I want I well, I was
thinking I wanted to, a t a t.Oh my god.
Annie Hawthorne (12:07):
Oh my god. That's genius. With
Joe Diametti (12:10):
with Crank, though.
Isaac Allen Burns (12:11):
Absolutely. K. It's really good. Well, you
see, Craig has just arrived.Basically, just showed up next
to y'all seeing everythingthat's going on.
Yeah. And you have a softerrope. So what's Kapi? So I guess
the question is, how does Kapigo about attempting this?
Annie Hawthorne (12:25):
Yeah. So lassoed me, and I just ran
around it.
Joe Diametti (12:27):
Oh, I love so, yeah, you run up, and I'm like,
Craig, I have an idea. We'regonna use a softer rope.
Annie Hawthorne (12:33):
There's no time for explanation. Yes. Exactly.
Joe Diametti (12:35):
We're gonna use a softer rope, and you're just
gonna hold it, and then you'regonna run-in
Isaac Allen Burns (12:39):
circles.
Annie Hawthorne (12:40):
Explanation. I grab the rope, and I run I start
running in circles.
Joe Diametti (12:43):
Okay. He gets it.
Isaac Allen Burns (12:44):
This is awesome. Crank. Okay. So you
grab onto this. You startrunning.
Joe Diametti (12:48):
It's early, but I actually so hang on. It's early,
but I like the idea of justburning it now. But, like, isn't
there some kind of move where wecan, like, team up on something?
Annie Hawthorne (12:56):
Yeah. So one of us has to spend is it 3 hope
eachers if one of us spends 3Four hope total. Right?
Isaac Allen Burns (13:02):
So each player, once per session, can
choose to spend 3 hope andinitiate a tag team role.
Annie Hawthorne (13:07):
But I I have 5 hope. Let's use the hope.
Alright. Let's do it. Hope.
I'm gonna grab it, and I'm justgonna go into turbo mode, and my
legs are gonna be, like, youknow, how it's animated and
they're just going in circles.And I'm just running around the
thing.
Rowan Collins (13:20):
Like a Sonic style? Yeah.
Annie Hawthorne (13:22):
I like Sonic.
Joe Diametti (13:23):
So, yeah, I spent, I'll spend my 3 hope.
Annie Hawthorne (13:25):
Roadrunner. I'm the roadrunner. I'm roadrunner.
I'm roadrunning this thing.
Isaac Allen Burns (13:27):
Okay. Go ahead. Give me a roadrunner
role, which I'm gonna say bothof you make your choice between
agility or finesse. Agility tomove quickly, finesse to use the
rope. Alright.
Joe Diametti (13:38):
I'll use finesse because I learned how to tie
ropes from Cyrus when I wasyounger. Yeah. And I'm a bunch
too in that.
Isaac Allen Burns (13:46):
So k. So we got one for that, one agility.
So go ahead and both of youroll. That's a crit.
Rowan Collins (13:52):
Nice. No fucking way.
Joe Diametti (13:54):
Oh my god. You you come blood.
Isaac Allen Burns (13:55):
I believe you. I believe you.
Joe Diametti (13:56):
Well, this is my 2nd session in a row getting a
crit, like, on my
Annie Hawthorne (13:59):
I mean, I almost crit it. I got a 3 and a
4.
Joe Diametti (14:01):
Hey. I got 2 twelves. That's the crit.
Annie Hawthorne (14:03):
Over fear. Oh, it's still with hope. Nice. My
hope size has been higher everytime. So that's, 78 with hope.
Isaac Allen Burns (14:10):
Can I
Annie Hawthorne (14:10):
use my experience, my you've got a
friend in me experience sinceI'm friends with Kapi? Wait. Did
I have wait. 1st, did we have
Joe Diametti (14:16):
to roll with the move by spending the 3 hope?
Isaac Allen Burns (14:19):
You yes. Because you spent the hope you
roll, the advantage of this iswould whichever role you choose
is the one that applies. So eventhough you roll 7
Annie Hawthorne (14:26):
Oh, okay.
Isaac Allen Burns (14:27):
We're gonna you you get to use the crit.
Annie Hawthorne (14:29):
Then I'm not gonna use my you've got a friend
of me experience.
Isaac Allen Burns (14:31):
If you did roll hope, though, you do
Annie Hawthorne (14:33):
still gain a hope. I did roll hope.
Isaac Allen Burns (14:35):
Additionally, one other advantage is that
typically both of you doingsomething would be 2 tokens in
the action tracker. Because thisis tag team, there's only 1. So
Nice. So because this was acritical, I this is incredible.
I would like both of you todescribe what exactly happens to
this thing.
Joe Diametti (14:54):
Yeah. I pictured that, like, between my knot
tying skill and crank just,like, running so fast that this
thing's, like, eyes, like, bugout a little bit just, like,
because of the tightness.
Annie Hawthorne (15:04):
And it thinks, like, the rupture scales around
its legs, and all of its legs gochoop, and it falls over on its
side.
Isaac Allen Burns (15:09):
It absolutely does so. It lands hard on the
grounds. You see its eyes aredoing that sort of, like, if
anyone's played Super Mario 64,you know, that you run around
the eye and its eyes, like, spinand it dies.
Annie Hawthorne (15:21):
We're dating ourselves so hard every time we
play.
Isaac Allen Burns (15:24):
I know. It doesn't die.
Joe Diametti (15:25):
We play, it becomes aggressively more clear
than we're in our thirties.
Isaac Allen Burns (15:28):
Let me make a let me make another, let me make
a a better so you know, like, inRoblox when you're, like, on the
run so fast, you get dizzy? Like
Rowan Collins (15:36):
Actually, yeah.
Isaac Allen Burns (15:37):
Yeah. So it's kinda like that. So this thing
gets dizzy. I'm gonna say again,because, you know, just to take
a step back, hey, it's me, yourGM, your GM, Isaac Allen Burns.
And these are the moments as aGM.
You have to make a decisionsometimes. Critical is super
good, and you can control fthrough all the rules. You won't
find a single rule on what 80 ating a, Hasbro would have.
(16:02):
However, what this moveessentially does is you have
restrained its legs, and youhave made it fall prone. So in
this moment, to honor that critand because this doesn't do
damage, but that was a reallygreat move.
I think exactly what y'alldescribed occurs, and it is
currently vulnerable andrestrained. Wanna punch
Annie Hawthorne (16:17):
it in the head.
Isaac Allen Burns (16:18):
Awesome. We're punching it in the head.
So as it's on the ground thereand you see Crank moving towards
it, fist cocked and locked,Pistachio, what are you doing?
Rowan Collins (16:29):
So Pistachio has run up first to Wally who they
saw wet and out, and he goes, ohmy gosh. Wally, are you okay? Is
Wally breathing?
Isaac Allen Burns (16:36):
Wally is breathing incredibly fast. He is
breathing really fast. He isclutching one side of his face.
You can see, like, acid smokecoming off of him, and he's he's
he's grimacing. He's, like,groaning.
It hurts him.
Rowan Collins (16:51):
The pistachio has put both of their hands over,
Wally's face. One hand over, Iguess, Wally's hand and goes,
let me see it.
Joe Diametti (17:00):
Don't touch it.
Rowan Collins (17:01):
First see it. Wally, for the love of all that
is holy, please let me see it.
Isaac Allen Burns (17:06):
He, he lifts his hand up gingerly.
Rowan Collins (17:09):
And, as he lifts his hand up, pistachio swoops
their hand in, and they spend 3hope to clear 1 d 4 hit points
on a creature that they aretouching, which is Wally. So
they are going to heal Wally 2hit points.
Isaac Allen Burns (17:26):
Is is this the first time that you've done
magic around your family?
Rowan Collins (17:30):
This absolutely is the first time. Pistachio has
been very shy about doing magicat all. And right now, their,
like, instincts have kicked in.So they're not even thinking
about it at this moment just to,like, heal their brother.
Isaac Allen Burns (17:43):
What does this look like as the magic
courses through it?
Rowan Collins (17:46):
So I imagine that pistachio has a little bit of,
like the hands start to glow alittle blue and green as little
almost like vine like tendrilskinda gush into, like, Wally's
face and then kind of pulse asit, like, heals any knitted
skin. That was, it's kinda alittle gross magic, I think.
Isaac Allen Burns (18:06):
Could you go ahead and make a knowledge check
for me on this one?
Rowan Collins (18:10):
Sure thing. So that's going to be a 14 with
hope.
Isaac Allen Burns (18:15):
14 with hope. Something you know about acid
burns like this. What verylittle that you have learned so
far about medicine and being adoctor is that acid burns are
tough because even if you wereto heal it, as long as the acid
stays there, it's gonna continueto burn his skin. And you sort
of see that this stuff issticky. You gotta you're gonna
have to rinse this off or it'llkeep burning him.
(18:37):
However, you at least know thatyou have stabilized him. He's
still in a state of shock. He'sbreathing very quickly. His eyes
are unfocused, still clearly ina lot of pain, but he is not it
doesn't look like it's goingdeep into him anymore. It's
probably not.
It's not on the verge of deathright now from that acid. Mhmm.
But you can see that it's stillsizzling his skin.
Rowan Collins (18:56):
Okay.
Isaac Allen Burns (18:57):
As you're treating your brother, you're
dragging him away. Crank, wecalled a shot earlier. You're
gonna punch this thing in theface. Go ahead and roll those
bones. And just to explain And
Annie Hawthorne (19:07):
I have advantage. Right?
Isaac Allen Burns (19:09):
So you do. So vulnerable, anything that makes
you vulnerable means you're in avery difficult position. So what
happens basically is any rolestargeting a vulnerable
individual will have advantage.So as you go up and cock that
fist back, you slam down withyour gauntlets. Go ahead and
roll that attack with advantage.
Annie Hawthorne (19:27):
I am currently attempting to remind myself what
advantage is. Is that still a d6?
Isaac Allen Burns (19:31):
I'm so glad that you asked. Yes. Advantage
means you add a d 6 to yourtotal.
Annie Hawthorne (19:37):
That's what I thought.
Isaac Allen Burns (19:39):
Again, the hope and fear still work the
same. It's just now you add a d6 to the roll. That's
Annie Hawthorne (19:46):
close. 17 plus. It was 19 with beer.
Isaac Allen Burns (19:53):
That definitely beats this
difficulty. Yes. Go ahead androll damage.
Annie Hawthorne (19:57):
That's an 8 plus 1. That's 9 damage.
Isaac Allen Burns (19:59):
Crank. You start whaling on this thing. You
punch it once. You punch itagain. It is on the ground.
And as you're punching it, it isstruggling against its
restraints, and it is going tobegin to move. Now there are
currently 4 tokens in the actiontracker, which is really
exciting for me here at GM.Uh-oh. The first thing it's
going to do is attempt to breakout of its restraints here. And
(20:21):
what I'm gonna make it do is I'mgoing to make it attempt
Joe Diametti (20:24):
a roll. Can I talk shit for a little bit?
Isaac Allen Burns (20:26):
Yeah. Okay.
Joe Diametti (20:27):
Yeah. So Crank hits it, and I was just like,
yeah. You got it now. Got itnow. Here's a game messing with
the robot with the wizard hat.
They're just wailing. I'm like,what do you think this was? You
were gonna come up on some farm,throw some acid on some stuff.
This ain't nothing. You ain'tnothing.
Annie Hawthorne (20:42):
As you
Isaac Allen Burns (20:43):
start yelling at it
Joe Diametti (20:44):
Yeah.
Isaac Allen Burns (20:44):
It rolls a 15. Perfect. And you see it's,
as you yell, it's not you're notnothing. You see it looks at you
and goes and breaks through itsrestraints. It's like splay out
in all directions, and it standsup so quick.
Joe Diametti (20:57):
And that's why And then, yeah, like, Kapi, like
like, like, his shouldersscrunching, and he's, like, see,
this is you know, some peopledon't support this sort of
motivational style, but see whatit's gotten you is see how far
you've come is you now you aresomething. I I had faith all
along. I just wanted you to getyour full potential back it up
at the same time.
Isaac Allen Burns (21:15):
As you say that, Kapi, you see that as
quickly as it stood up, it'slike big pincers go into the
ground, and dirt is shoved intonowhere as it burrows in the
blink of an eye.
Joe Diametti (21:25):
Oh.
Isaac Allen Burns (21:25):
Moves as fast as a mole does, and there's a
moment. And suddenly burstingout of the ground between the 2
of you is this creature as itbursts out of the ground. I
can't stress enough how it hasexploded out from under you. I
need an agility reaction fromyou 2. K.
Annie Hawthorne (21:42):
That's just the same as a regular role. Right?
Joe Diametti (21:44):
That is correct. That is a 6 with hope.
Isaac Allen Burns (21:47):
That'll be a failure.
Joe Diametti (21:48):
Or I'm sorry. A 6 with fear.
Annie Hawthorne (21:50):
That's a 9 with fear.
Isaac Allen Burns (21:53):
No. So reactions don't do it, have hope
Oh, okay. Gotcha. That's okay.And
Annie Hawthorne (21:58):
that's just a Yeah.
Joe Diametti (21:59):
That's just a 6.
Isaac Allen Burns (22:00):
However, unfortunately, either of those
are high enough. And you bothare knocked to the ground and
made vulnerable until you nextact. Now the thing is, you guys,
this thing is so fast. Thisthing is so quick. It's
relentless, in fact, which meansthat
Annie Hawthorne (22:14):
I think that
Isaac Allen Burns (22:15):
Go ahead.
Annie Hawthorne (22:15):
Sorry to interrupt, but I really think
that falling to the ground isgoing to push me into
unstoppable mode.
Isaac Allen Burns (22:21):
What does that mean?
Annie Hawthorne (22:22):
I I feel like this whole time, even, like,
when I've been punching in myeyes, I've been, like,
flickering, kinda, like, betweenthe
Joe Diametti (22:28):
Yeah.
Annie Hawthorne (22:29):
Soft yellow and the red. And I think that
getting knocked over just makesthem go solid red.
Isaac Allen Burns (22:34):
Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Annie Hawthorne (22:35):
So I'm gonna enter unstoppable mode as I fall
to the ground. I cannot be madevulnerable in this mode.
Isaac Allen Burns (22:40):
Okay.
Annie Hawthorne (22:42):
So, yeah, I'm unstoppable on the ground.
Isaac Allen Burns (22:44):
Okay. Yeah. I'll say that happens. Kapi, you
go flying back a little bit. Youhit the ground hard, and you see
the crank turns red a littlebit.
Joe Diametti (22:54):
Oh, you done and did it now. Done did it now.
Isaac Allen Burns (22:57):
I'm gonna spend one of my banked fear to
allow it to go again now. Yes.And so it's going to make 2
attacks.
Joe Diametti (23:04):
Our GM's entering this villain era.
Isaac Allen Burns (23:06):
I'm in my villain era, you guys. First,
it's gonna swing at our mostvulnerable candidate, which is
Kapi. So this means I haveadvantage, which is a GM. That
means I roll 2 d twenties. Itake the highest.
Hear that?
Joe Diametti (23:18):
Yeah. I notice it's coming from me. I'm like,
act no. I was just kidding. Iwas just kidding.
You're great. I good good acidburrower. Good acid burrower.
Rowan Collins (23:27):
A crit?
Joe Diametti (23:28):
Good acid burrower.
Isaac Allen Burns (23:29):
That is a crit.
Joe Diametti (23:30):
No. It's not a crit. You're 2 d twenties?
Isaac Allen Burns (23:33):
As we recall, crits in this game for damage
are basically a brutal critical,which means the maximum of the
dice roll plus a dice roll.Happy. As this thing stands
over, you've been talking somuch shit. You see crank turn
red. The last time you saw thatwas back when you fought the eel
gators back at the swamps.
Joe Diametti (23:51):
Yeah.
Isaac Allen Burns (23:52):
And you have that thought as a scythe like
blade goes straight through yourstomach, almost pins you to the
Annie Hawthorne (23:59):
ground. Very close to him.
Isaac Allen Burns (24:01):
I'm gonna say in this case, you're you are
knocked in separate directions.Okay. So you are unfortunately
not very close to each other.But, Kathy, that's gonna be 33
points of damage.
Rowan Collins (24:10):
Oh, shit.
Holy shit.
Isaac Allen Burns (24:11):
Which I believe is severe. As a blade
stabs into you, it brings ablade up to go towards Krank
who's on the ground. Notvulnerable. So I only get to
roll 1 d20 on this one. I rolleda 2.
As its scythe like blade sinksinto the ground through Kapi
basically, you hear a sort ofmetallic screech as this scythe
(24:33):
just sort of glances off of yourmetallic body crank. That is all
for my guy. Kapi, I wanna askyou actually first. You're sort
of you're pinned to the ground.You're you're not restrained or
anything, but this thing is sortof pinned you.
You can feel its blade sort oftearing on your insides. It's
pulling the sight out of you.Kapi, how do you respond? You're
on the ground.
Annie Hawthorne (24:51):
Is is my jacket okay? Is my jacket okay? Is my
Isaac Allen Burns (24:54):
jacket okay?
Annie Hawthorne (24:54):
It's my jacket.
Isaac Allen Burns (24:55):
You know, you'd you'd have to see the back
of it. You don't know. Yourjacket was open, so it didn't
hit
Joe Diametti (24:59):
the front
Isaac Allen Burns (25:00):
of it at least.
Joe Diametti (25:01):
Yeah. I think I'm just gonna try to roll out of
the way. I don't know.
Isaac Allen Burns (25:05):
You roll out of the way. You're trying to get
out of there. So Kapi's movingaway. Crank, how are you
responding?
Annie Hawthorne (25:10):
I'm in full battle mode because I'm
unstoppable right now, and Idon't think I am aware of really
anything else.
Isaac Allen Burns (25:16):
K.
Annie Hawthorne (25:16):
So I'm just gonna get up off the ground and
continue trying to wail on thisthing as hard as I can.
Joe Diametti (25:23):
Do it.
Annie Hawthorne (25:23):
I think I will use my 1st full push ability on
this attack to try to get itaway from Kapi.
Isaac Allen Burns (25:30):
What up? So can
Annie Hawthorne (25:33):
I use my battle born experience?
Isaac Allen Burns (25:36):
I'm gonna say no in this case. I'm gonna say
no.
Rowan Collins (25:39):
Billionaire. Mhmm.
Isaac Allen Burns (25:40):
I'm gonna say right now, like, ex for
experiences, I don't think itwould have to be a very specific
case.
Annie Hawthorne (25:45):
Yeah. That makes sense.
Isaac Allen Burns (25:46):
It's That makes sense.
Annie Hawthorne (25:47):
It's gonna be 14 with beer again.
Isaac Allen Burns (25:51):
That will hit it. That is some fear. Uh-oh.
Annie Hawthorne (25:54):
So ideal damage, push the target out of
melee range and may spend a hopeto make it temporarily
vulnerable. So I'll do that too.
Joe Diametti (26:00):
I really thought I was gonna save the day with the
rope.
Annie Hawthorne (26:02):
That's 6.
Joe Diametti (26:03):
I thought we were just gonna
Isaac Allen Burns (26:04):
The rope killed it. Yeah. I thought
attacking y'all once, though.
Joe Diametti (26:07):
I was like, I'm gonna think my way out of this
one time.
Annie Hawthorne (26:11):
That's 6 damage. I'm gonna use mark a
stress to hit it again withadvantage because I made a
vulnerable. That's a crit.
Rowan Collins (26:22):
Oh. Let's go.
Annie Hawthorne (26:24):
Which is 8 +1 9 no. 4812. So it's 13. 13 damage
on the second.
Isaac Allen Burns (26:33):
Oh, no.
Joe Diametti (26:34):
This got a crit.
Isaac Allen Burns (26:35):
Crank, you are slamming into this thing.
You hit it once. You hit ittwice. You feel something break
inside of it. It squeals inpain.
As you push it away, it evenstumbles back almost closer to
its hole. It looks really hurt.Now pistachio, you have dragged
Wally, I would say, a safedistance away. He's still
breathing very quickly. He'shyperventilating.
His eyes are kind of moving inall different directions. His
(26:58):
skin almost feels clammy at thispoint. He was definitely in
shock.
Rowan Collins (27:01):
Definitely in shock.
Isaac Allen Burns (27:02):
But he is the skin is no longer you have
pretty well rinsed it off. Youknow that you'd probably have to
apply some soft gauze to it, butI think, pistachio, you're
looking at the
Joe Diametti (27:11):
like the soft rub?
Isaac Allen Burns (27:11):
It's like a soft rope. It's like a soft of
gauze. Gotcha. You need a softof gauze, honestly?
Rowan Collins (27:15):
Okay. Got it.
Isaac Allen Burns (27:16):
You look over.
Rowan Collins (27:17):
50 feet of gauze?
Isaac Allen Burns (27:18):
50 feet of gauze.
Annie Hawthorne (27:19):
Of gauze. A lot of gauze.
Joe Diametti (27:20):
A
Isaac Allen Burns (27:20):
lot of gauze. A half soft, really. You look
over. You see your dad on theground, and now you see Kapi on
the ground. It's a lot of bloodcoming out of Kapi's stomach.
Rowan Collins (27:31):
So I think Pistachio, at this point, is
making, like, a split judgment.So, they're gonna look at their
dad. How bad does their dadlook?
Isaac Allen Burns (27:38):
As you look over, you see your dad is
holding his arm. There doesn'tseem to be a lot of blood.
Actually, from where you'restanding, it almost looks like
his arm is broken. And you'relooking at Kapi, and you see he
got fully stabbed in thestomach. So you think that Kapi
is definitely worse off rightnow.
Rowan Collins (27:53):
Okay. So kinda want Pistachio to do 2 things,
but I'm gonna
Isaac Allen Burns (27:58):
Pistachio to do 2 things.
Annie Hawthorne (27:59):
That's the good that's the good of Daggerheart.
Rowan Collins (28:00):
You know what I mean? Thing that they're gonna
do is they're gonna look atWally and go, take care of dad.
And they're gonna bust outrunning towards,
Isaac Allen Burns (28:09):
Wally doesn't respond. Yeah.
Rowan Collins (28:11):
They're gonna take care of they're gonna run
over to, like because,essentially, they're looking at
this and saying, like, they'reprobably out of the fight.
They're at a good distance. Abroken arm can be mended later,
but Kapi's got a literal gashesthrough him. And so, Pistachio
runs over and, like like, slidesin to, like, take care of Kapi,
and they go, alright. Okay.
(28:32):
Alright. Now stay
with me. I've got you. Alright. Ready?
Isaac Allen Burns (28:35):
It's my jacket. Okay.
Rowan Collins (28:36):
Your your jacket's gonna be fine. I think
Just like Tell,
Joe Diametti (28:40):
Scarlet.
Rowan Collins (28:41):
You're gonna be they they look at they look at
you.
Isaac Allen Burns (28:45):
Kapi's saying his last words. Tell And
Rowan Collins (28:47):
they go Tell They slap you. And as they slap you,
they, do the same thing to healyou.
Isaac Allen Burns (28:53):
Much more violently.
Rowan Collins (28:55):
Much more violently, unless you gain, what
was that number that I justrolled? 2 health points back.
And they go, keep fighting.
And they turn around, and they, like, lock
down on this thing.
Joe Diametti (29:09):
So wait. Did you heal me?
Rowan Collins (29:10):
Yes. Two points
Joe Diametti (29:11):
of damage. Okay.
Rowan Collins (29:13):
2 hit points.
Isaac Allen Burns (29:14):
Wow. Yeah.
Rowan Collins (29:14):
So they lock eyes on this thing.
Isaac Allen Burns (29:16):
Still covered in blood, Kathy.
Joe Diametti (29:18):
Yeah. But I know like, does I I I feel it
close-up. Right?
Isaac Allen Burns (29:20):
You feel
Joe Diametti (29:21):
it close-up.
Isaac Allen Burns (29:21):
It's one of those things where, like, you
can feel the skin close-up. AndOh. Modern medicine we modern
audiences know, uh-oh. Mhmm.Probably some nasty bug gunk in
there, but you think he'll befine.
Rowan Collins (29:32):
Yeah. I'm gonna use this thing called vicious
entangle, which we've alreadyseen from Sebastian, where I'm
gonna make a spell cast rollagainst this thing to try and
restrain it with roots andvines. Kind of basically
repeating the same thing thatKapi did in AT AT it, but with
vines this time.
Isaac Allen Burns (29:47):
Let's roll. Let's see what happens.
Rowan Collins (29:50):
That is a 20 with hope.
Isaac Allen Burns (29:52):
Gracious sakes. You see that, as this
creature is sort of dazed,confused, its eyes kinda rolling
in its head, It looks and yousee a creature that is cornered
and vines whip up. And before itcan even do anything, before it
can even react in a way thatwould suggest that it has
already had this happen to it,you tangle it up.
Rowan Collins (30:14):
And what this does is it also does 1 d 8 plus
1 of physical damage. So itlike, these are vines covered in
spikes as it lashes into it with5 points of damage.
Isaac Allen Burns (30:25):
Pistachio, as these vines wrap around this
thing, you'll hear this finalcrack. And, Kapi, you and Crank,
kinda closest to it. Crank is alittle red eyed right now. Kapi,
can you give me an instinct rollfor me?
Joe Diametti (30:41):
Yes. Instinct's a plus 0, but that's okay. No.
It's not. That's a 10 with fear.
Isaac Allen Burns (30:48):
A 10 with fear. Okay. Kapi, you're looking
at this creature right now. AndKapi, I would say between the
two people also finding thisthing, Kapi has definitely had
the most street smarts, I wouldsay. Mhmm.
You look at a creature that'scornered, which I think Kapi
finds surprising seeing there'sthere's a big hole that it came
from here. Right? Mhmm. Asyou're looking at this thing, it
(31:12):
didn't run. It clearly couldhave.
It was hurt. It had really noreason of being here. Why was it
even here? These things don'teat nuts. It wasn't even it
didn't even seem like it washere to eat anything.
Something
Joe Diametti (31:25):
Yeah. Drove it. And to be really honest, that
was Kapi's a lot of Kapi'smotivation on, like, just trying
to tie it down originally. Yeah.It was like something's not
Kapi's starting to get realconspiracy boy about this whole
thing.
Yeah. And to the point where Iassume peep most people probably
won't believe him, but, like,he's starting to, like, have
real bad vibes just abouteverything that happens.
Isaac Allen Burns (31:46):
And I think I think with that fear, Kapi is
still unable to piece put thepieces together. Mhmm. But I
think that Kapi recognizessomething up is up here Yeah. As
this thing is imploded from theinside, as these vines crush it
in finality. You see thiscreature, its body gets crushed
(32:08):
and then turns to this purpleash that sinks into the ground.
Rowan Collins (32:12):
I think pistachio is holding their hand up as they
did this and, like, breathingreally heavily and that, like,
as it takes a second longerbefore their eyes go snap back
in and they break out, and thenthey go, oh, shit, dad. And
they, like, run back over to goset their dad's arm and, like,
help Molly out.
Isaac Allen Burns (32:30):
Crank, how do you feel right now? What's going
on with Crank?
Annie Hawthorne (32:33):
Well, I think the minute the threat is over,
Crank has just, like, kindabattle mode ends and, like,
comes back to it. And he's like,oh, what happened? And I, like,
look around to see what elsehappened because I don't know
what's been going on around meuntil this point.
Joe Diametti (32:49):
Crank, great job.
Annie Hawthorne (32:50):
God. Kapi, you're covered in blood.
Joe Diametti (32:52):
Yeah. Yeah. Covered in blood. You did great.
Again, kudos.
I'm worried that maybe you'renot processing things correctly.
Annie Hawthorne (33:03):
What do you mean? I I'm I'm not sure what
you mean. I I do have, like, aprocessor. You know? It's like a
whole 4 core kinda situation.
I I process many things at once.
Joe Diametti (33:15):
Yes. Except it seems to be core things, like
when you get upset.
Annie Hawthorne (33:21):
Upset? What do you mean upset? I don't have
emotions. I remember a lot.
Joe Diametti (33:24):
I guess what's the last thing you remember here?
Annie Hawthorne (33:26):
I mean, I I remember beating this thing to a
pulp.
Joe Diametti (33:29):
Uh-huh. And then?
Annie Hawthorne (33:30):
And then I was here, and it was dead.
Joe Diametti (33:32):
Yeah. And the gator.
Annie Hawthorne (33:35):
Yeah. I I punched that too, and then it
ran away. And then it Yeah. Iwas
Joe Diametti (33:39):
It didn't run away.
Annie Hawthorne (33:40):
Oh.
Joe Diametti (33:40):
I mean, it's life did. Oh. From its eyes.
Annie Hawthorne (33:45):
That's right. Yeah. I must have blushed that
out.
Joe Diametti (33:47):
Uh-huh. If someone that processes emotions very
well, I've been told almost toowell, some would say.
Annie Hawthorne (34:00):
Emotions are simply electrical impulses,
Kapi.
Joe Diametti (34:03):
Yes. And where do you think your impulses are
short circuiting?
Annie Hawthorne (34:09):
I'm pretty sure I'm functioning as designed.
Joe Diametti (34:11):
Perfect. We'll table this, but I think maybe we
could revisit this later.
Isaac Allen Burns (34:15):
As you turn around to see Pistachio walking
towards their family at ahurried pace, you see another
figure running towards all ofyou. He's waving a hand and is
yelling kind of in the distance,
Annie Hawthorne (34:26):
It's all very well okay. Does anyone need
help? I know. I know basic man.I know basic first name.
Isaac Allen Burns (34:31):
And coming closer, you see this figure.
He's got, like, a messenger bagslung on his side. He's got,
like, a a well fitted vest and,like, some nice black slacks,
like, a purple vest. He's gotblue skin. He's this, Inferni,
which is sort of, like, similarto, like, a devil person almost
with these sort of big bluehorns.
But he's running up sort ofwaving his hand saying, I saw
the commotion. I heard I thinksomeone one of the farmers here
(34:53):
told us that there was acommotion here. I came to see if
I can help. Does anyone isanyone hurt?
Joe Diametti (34:56):
Do I know this person?
Isaac Allen Burns (34:58):
You've never seen this person before.
Joe Diametti (34:59):
No. Okay. It's a small town. Right?
Isaac Allen Burns (35:01):
It's a small town.
Joe Diametti (35:02):
Yeah.
Rowan Collins (35:03):
You know, basic first aid, quick. Great. I need
a split and some gauze, and I'mgonna go straight into helping
my dad. Who we can deal withnames later? You're coming with
me.
Do you know how to deal withshock?
Isaac Allen Burns (35:15):
He says, yes. Yes. Okay. I have combat
medicine training.
Rowan Collins (35:19):
Okay. Fantastic. Alright. My father's arm is
broken, and my brother is inshock. So I need to deal with
both of them.
I need somebody to hold himwhile I split him.
Isaac Allen Burns (35:28):
Okay. I'll handle your brother that's in
shock. Okay. He points at Kathy,and he says, you, help this one
with their father.
Joe Diametti (35:35):
You're just giving orders? Or
Isaac Allen Burns (35:37):
We don't have time to argue. He runs towards
your brother. I think that's agreat time to end this episode

Isaac Allen Burns (00:39):

Railroad, y'all. Back to thestart of this session. Woah.
(01:53):
Hey. It's a podcast.
Hey. It's me, your GM, your goodfriend, and the one presenting
this here community report toyou right now. It is DodoBorne,
an actual play Daggerheartpodcast, where the 4 of us get
together and play Daggerheart.And a lot of other stuff will
happen. Stick around.
Find out. Don't touch that dial.We'll be right back after I
(02:13):
introduce the people at thiscircular table. Right across
from me, with a big smile ontheir face is Rowan Collins
Rowan Collins (02:21):
Squawk.
Isaac Allen Burns (02:22):
Playing pistachio. Across from Rowan is
Joe D'Amity playing Kapi.Squawk. And across the table
from Joe is 1, Annie Hawthorneplaying Crank. Squawk.
Squack. And squack, you too. I'mIsaac Allen Burns, your GM.
Joe Diametti (02:37):
Squawk to meet you. Wait.
Isaac Allen Burns (02:41):
Last time, my fellow dodos, if you recall,
after apprehending 1 Sebastian,you brought him back to the
station, AKA the adventuringguild headquarters. And after a
little bit of questioning, Kapi,in a brilliant moment of
realization, realized thatSebastian is only pretending to
be drunk. Immediately, realizinghe had been had, Sebastian
dropped a smoke bomb and madehis escape. Meanwhile, y'all ran
(03:02):
out onto the streets with nosight of Sebastian. But running
down the nighttime streets wasone Hazel, AKA Pistachio's twin
sister who said somethingterrible is going on at the
droop farm, and we're gonna pickup right as y'all get to the
farm.
The 3 of you see somethingdifferent happening in this
(03:22):
farm, something that you haven'tseen before. Standing a head
taller than a horse and abouttwice as ugly, you you see this
enormous insectoid creaturetowering over Pistachio's older
brother, Wally. A torch in onehand and a cage harvester in the
other, which if y'all don'tknow, is a thing that they use
to harvest nuts. It's like alittle cage. You roll on the
ground.
(03:43):
It picks up the nuts. It's notmeant to be a club, but
currently that is its purpose.As you see Wally sort of yelling
at it as as he's trying to,like, get the beast to flake,
this insectoid has, like, greeniridescent skin with these huge
wings that are folded up behindit. Got these enormous pincers
at its face that are just sortof clawing, and making a
(04:05):
horrific screeching sound that,by my own kindness, I will not
repeat to you. It's terrible tohear.
All of you are currently, Iwould say, very far away from
this thing, about a 100 feet.Pistachio, there's no sight of
your mom, but the house does notlook to be attacked. But,
Pistachio, you recognize yourdad is slumped on the ground
over to the side. He lookswounded. He looks like he's
(04:27):
moving and breathing, but, he'shurt.
Rowan Collins (04:29):
Oh, gosh. It's it's a publiccashew and Molly.
Come on, guys. We gotta go. And,
pistachio takes off. You could see they're kind
of bounding with a fun little,like, feature that fawns have
called leap, which means theycan leap up to a close range
across gaps or chasms or just,like, in general.
Isaac Allen Burns (04:49):
Yes. The a fawn's big old goat legs are
carrying you far ahead. Kapi andCrank, you see your friend is
leaping ahead very quickly,clearly distressed.
Annie Hawthorne (05:01):
I'm sprinting at full speed. I imagine I over
dick pistachio at some pointwith my iron legs.
Isaac Allen Burns (05:07):
And, Kathy, do you follow suit?
Joe Diametti (05:08):
Yeah. I I guess I just take off. I'm just like,
okay. Yeah. No plan.
No. It's fine. We'll just yep.Alright. The 3
Isaac Allen Burns (05:14):
of you head forward. And, hey. It's me,
your, GM, Isaac Allan Burns,here to tell you a little
something about Daggerheart,distances. Let's just take a
brief moment to talk aboutdistances, gang. How does that
sound?
It's like a blues clues moment.So, as we're aware, distance is
a thing that exists, not only inthis game, but kind of in real
(05:36):
life. There are various rangesin Daggerheart from melee to
very far that sort of helpsabstract just how far away
people are. Rather than gettingdown to the nitty gritty of a
grid, instead, we can kind ofdescribe things a little better.
But just to describe what theseare, very far, that means you're
about further than a 100 feetaway.
(05:58):
Far, which is the next step, isanywhere between a 100 feet 30
feet. Then there's close. Closeis between 10 to 30 feet. So
you're close enough to interactwith someone. Next is very
close.
That means that you are within10 feet of them. And then from
there is melee range, which mayas well be right on top of
somebody. Now the reason that Ibring this up is because the 3
(06:20):
of you are very far away. And inorder to get to a thing that is
very far away requires anagility check. Now, Rowan, could
you just one more time read outyour ability specifically for
me, please?
Rowan Collins (06:32):
It specifically talks about closing chasms or
gaps, but it says you can leapup to a close range across gaps
or chasms without making anagility roll.
Isaac Allen Burns (06:41):
So I'll say that you're probably, like, a
little high up. That leap wouldprobably get you at least close
to this thing for free. So we'regonna say that in this moment of
terror, our friend, Pistachio,is able to get there very
quickly. Now you 2 are very faraway. You're on foot.
Can I have both Kapi and Crankroll me an agility check?
Joe Diametti (07:01):
Yes.
Annie Hawthorne (07:04):
8 with hope.
Joe Diametti (07:05):
8 with hope? K. Got a 20 with fear.
Isaac Allen Burns (07:08):
Oh, no. That's so great. So we have
fear, Kapi, and we have hope,but very low roll. So,
pistachio, you run up, you canhear Kapi right behind you,
staying as close as he can. Youcan hear crank kinda in the
distance, as Tega is, you know,a little larger, a little
bigger, heavier footsteps.
As the 2 of you run up, you seeWally sort of waving this torch
(07:31):
in front of it, and it noticedthis large beast, this ugly,
terrible insectoid beast seesyou. So caveat the move I'm
gonna, because you rolled fear,the move here is you are within
close range of this thing now.However, on that fear, it's
gonna start this off by usingits action called spit acid,
where it's gonna make an attackagainst all targets in front of
the acid burrower within closerange. So I'm gonna roll some
(07:53):
dice here real fast.
Joe Diametti (07:54):
I imagine that crank's just, like, sinking in
the fields.
Isaac Allen Burns (07:58):
So I rolled 5 against Kapi. Does that beat
your evasion score? No. I rolleda 8 against pistachio. Does that
beat your evasion score?
Rowan Collins (08:07):
That is my evasion score.
Isaac Allen Burns (08:09):
Believe beats it beats it. And unfortunately
for Wally, I rolled really well.And that is a that is definitely
gonna be his difficulty of 10.So it heaves. You see a big lump
in its chest, and it spits outthis terrible acid.
Kapi, you see it coming. You'reable to dodge out of the way.
Pistachio, you're just a littletoo slow. The force carrying you
(08:29):
forward. The desperation, Ithink, inside of pistachio is
just carrying them forward alittle too quickly.
You're unable to miss it. You'regoing to take 7 damage. Is that,
major damage to you? Mhmm. Verygood.
So you're gonna take 1 HP, andyour armor score is halved till
the next time you repair it,which you can do so in a long
rest. Now Wally is not afighter, you guys. Wally has not
(08:52):
been training like y'all have.Wally has not been preparing
himself for a fight. He's beenfarming.
And he's a tough guy. But asthis acid hits him, you see it's
it basically takes a face firstof it. He howls in pain and goes
down.
Rowan Collins (09:07):
Volley.
Isaac Allen Burns (09:08):
And with that gang, what do you do? I'm gonna
say, Crank, you are it is goingto take another agility role to
be able to get here as you arekinda sinking into the fields.
It's very the ground is verysoft, and Crank is very heavy.
Annie Hawthorne (09:20):
Yeah. Well, I'll I'm keep I'm running. I'm
trying to get there as fast as Ican.
Isaac Allen Burns (09:23):
Go for it. Go ahead. Give me another agility
roll.
Annie Hawthorne (09:26):
That's a 10 with hope.
Isaac Allen Burns (09:27):
A 10 with hope. You are able to get there.
You are now within range. Thatis one. Action tracker.
Rowan Collins (09:33):
Capy, what do I do? Like, get you distracted. I
gotta take care of my brother myfather.
Joe Diametti (09:39):
Yeah. Get him out of here.
Rowan Collins (09:40):
Okay.
Joe Diametti (09:41):
I'm going to try.
Isaac Allen Burns (09:43):
Yeah. I so Capy do.
Joe Diametti (09:46):
He had this thing has wings. Right? Yes. Can it
fly? Is it, like, hovering abovethe ground, or is it, like,
planted in the ground?
Isaac Allen Burns (09:52):
It's barely planted on the ground. In fact,
Kapi, as you're looking at this,right, this isn't a role. This
is just exactly what Kapi sees.Kapi, you see this large
creature. It is standing on theground with 2 of its legs on the
ground and another 2 on theground behind that because it's
an insect, so it's got 6 legs.
You see a large hole behind it.It clearly burrowed up through
here, and you see the wings arekind of folded. It looks like it
(10:15):
can fly if it needs to. Mhmm.But you can see just kind of
based on its, just so based onthe way it looks, it it almost
looks vestigial, the wings.
It may not even be able to flyaway with how large it is, but
it might be like a bee.
Joe Diametti (10:31):
K. How much? This is my, this is a question for
our GM.
Isaac Allen Burns (10:35):
Hey. It's me, Isaac Cal Burns.
Joe Diametti (10:36):
Nice to talk to you. Nice nice to talk to you,
Isaac. My question is how muchwe learned what a handful of
money is. Yeah. How much is asoft of rope?
Isaac Allen Burns (10:46):
A soft of rope?
Joe Diametti (10:47):
That's in my equipment, I have a soft of
rope.
Isaac Allen Burns (10:50):
A soft of rope? Okay.
Annie Hawthorne (10:53):
Oh my god. I do too. Wait. No. I think that says
50 feet, man.
Joe Diametti (10:57):
Oh, that's a real life term?
Annie Hawthorne (11:00):
I think I think that's not an s. I think it's a
5.
Joe Diametti (11:03):
Oh, it
Rowan Collins (11:03):
does say 50 feet of room.
It looks like soft.
Annie Hawthorne (11:07):
It does look like soft. That's right, Lance.
Alright.
Joe Diametti (11:10):
It was it was it was leaned down just enough.
Annie Hawthorne (11:12):
It does look like soft. I'm not gonna lie.
They did not put a
Rowan Collins (11:15):
space on it. Alright.
Joe Diametti (11:16):
No. You're right. That's 50
Rowan Collins (11:17):
feet. Criticism for the people that made
Daggerheart. Different phones.
Annie Hawthorne (11:22):
Just a space. Just a space between 50
Joe Diametti (11:24):
and 50.
Annie Hawthorne (11:25):
50. So it's 50. Close. That feels. A soft of
rope.
Joe Diametti (11:29):
I was like, oh, dagger heart being fucked.
Rowan Collins (11:32):
As, the soft of rope
Annie Hawthorne (11:33):
is 50 feet.
Joe Diametti (11:34):
It felt like a soft full of mud. It's
Isaac Allen Burns (11:35):
now out.
Annie Hawthorne (11:36):
Well, it's soft of it's obviously 50 feet.
Isaac Allen Burns (11:38):
You know what? Now I'm just gonna call it
a soft. It's a soft of it's asoft of rope. A soft of rope is
a unit of rope that is 50 feet.Wow.
Thank
Joe Diametti (11:45):
you. You guys. Thank you, Isaac. Yeah.
Isaac Allen Burns (11:46):
Joe, it was really good.
Joe Diametti (11:47):
And able
Isaac Allen Burns (11:48):
to see that out, actually. I'm glad that's
canon now. That's actually thatwas a that was a choice.
Joe Diametti (11:52):
I I don't I'm sure that this is gonna be a crazy
roll, but I would I would liketo try this before things get
too out of hand. Okay. I wannatry to with Crank.
Isaac Allen Burns (12:01):
Please say lasso this time.
Joe Diametti (12:02):
Please say lasso. Yeah. I want I well, I was
thinking I wanted to, a t a t.Oh my god.
Annie Hawthorne (12:07):
Oh my god. That's genius. With
Joe Diametti (12:10):
with Crank, though.
Isaac Allen Burns (12:11):
Absolutely. K. It's really good. Well, you
see, Craig has just arrived.Basically, just showed up next
to y'all seeing everythingthat's going on.
Yeah. And you have a softerrope. So what's Kapi? So I guess
the question is, how does Kapigo about attempting this?
Annie Hawthorne (12:25):
Yeah. So lassoed me, and I just ran
around it.
Joe Diametti (12:27):
Oh, I love so, yeah, you run up, and I'm like,
Craig, I have an idea. We'regonna use a softer rope.
Annie Hawthorne (12:33):
There's no time for explanation. Yes. Exactly.
Joe Diametti (12:35):
We're gonna use a softer rope, and you're just
gonna hold it, and then you'regonna run-in
Isaac Allen Burns (12:39):
circles.
Annie Hawthorne (12:40):
Explanation. I grab the rope, and I run I start
running in circles.
Joe Diametti (12:43):
Okay. He gets it.
Isaac Allen Burns (12:44):
This is awesome. Crank. Okay. So you
grab onto this. You startrunning.
Joe Diametti (12:48):
It's early, but I actually so hang on. It's early,
but I like the idea of justburning it now. But, like, isn't
there some kind of move where wecan, like, team up on something?
Annie Hawthorne (12:56):
Yeah. So one of us has to spend is it 3 hope
eachers if one of us spends 3Four hope total. Right?
Isaac Allen Burns (13:02):
So each player, once per session, can
choose to spend 3 hope andinitiate a tag team role.
Annie Hawthorne (13:07):
But I I have 5 hope. Let's use the hope.
Alright. Let's do it. Hope.
I'm gonna grab it, and I'm justgonna go into turbo mode, and my
legs are gonna be, like, youknow, how it's animated and
they're just going in circles.And I'm just running around the
thing.
Rowan Collins (13:20):
Like a Sonic style? Yeah.
Annie Hawthorne (13:22):
I like Sonic.
Joe Diametti (13:23):
So, yeah, I spent, I'll spend my 3 hope.
Annie Hawthorne (13:25):
Roadrunner. I'm the roadrunner. I'm roadrunner.
I'm roadrunning this thing.
Isaac Allen Burns (13:27):
Okay. Go ahead. Give me a roadrunner
role, which I'm gonna say bothof you make your choice between
agility or finesse. Agility tomove quickly, finesse to use the
rope. Alright.
Joe Diametti (13:38):
I'll use finesse because I learned how to tie
ropes from Cyrus when I wasyounger. Yeah. And I'm a bunch
too in that.
Isaac Allen Burns (13:46):
So k. So we got one for that, one agility.
So go ahead and both of youroll. That's a crit.
Rowan Collins (13:52):
Nice. No fucking way.
Joe Diametti (13:54):
Oh my god. You you come blood.
Isaac Allen Burns (13:55):
I believe you. I believe you.
Joe Diametti (13:56):
Well, this is my 2nd session in a row getting a
crit, like, on my
Annie Hawthorne (13:59):
I mean, I almost crit it. I got a 3 and a
4.
Joe Diametti (14:01):
Hey. I got 2 twelves. That's the crit.
Annie Hawthorne (14:03):
Over fear. Oh, it's still with hope. Nice. My
hope size has been higher everytime. So that's, 78 with hope.
Isaac Allen Burns (14:10):
Can I
Annie Hawthorne (14:10):
use my experience, my you've got a
friend in me experience sinceI'm friends with Kapi? Wait. Did
I have wait. 1st, did we have
Joe Diametti (14:16):
to roll with the move by spending the 3 hope?
Isaac Allen Burns (14:19):
You yes. Because you spent the hope you
roll, the advantage of this iswould whichever role you choose
is the one that applies. So eventhough you roll 7
Annie Hawthorne (14:26):
Oh, okay.
Isaac Allen Burns (14:27):
We're gonna you you get to use the crit.
Annie Hawthorne (14:29):
Then I'm not gonna use my you've got a friend
of me experience.
Isaac Allen Burns (14:31):
If you did roll hope, though, you do
Annie Hawthorne (14:33):
still gain a hope. I did roll hope.
Isaac Allen Burns (14:35):
Additionally, one other advantage is that
typically both of you doingsomething would be 2 tokens in
the action tracker. Because thisis tag team, there's only 1. So
Nice. So because this was acritical, I this is incredible.
I would like both of you todescribe what exactly happens to
this thing.
Joe Diametti (14:54):
Yeah. I pictured that, like, between my knot
tying skill and crank just,like, running so fast that this
thing's, like, eyes, like, bugout a little bit just, like,
because of the tightness.
Annie Hawthorne (15:04):
And it thinks, like, the rupture scales around
its legs, and all of its legs gochoop, and it falls over on its
side.
Isaac Allen Burns (15:09):
It absolutely does so. It lands hard on the
grounds. You see its eyes aredoing that sort of, like, if
anyone's played Super Mario 64,you know, that you run around
the eye and its eyes, like, spinand it dies.
Annie Hawthorne (15:21):
We're dating ourselves so hard every time we
play.
Isaac Allen Burns (15:24):
I know. It doesn't die.
Joe Diametti (15:25):
We play, it becomes aggressively more clear
than we're in our thirties.
Isaac Allen Burns (15:28):
Let me make a let me make another, let me make
a a better so you know, like, inRoblox when you're, like, on the
run so fast, you get dizzy? Like
Rowan Collins (15:36):
Actually, yeah.
Isaac Allen Burns (15:37):
Yeah. So it's kinda like that. So this thing
gets dizzy. I'm gonna say again,because, you know, just to take
a step back, hey, it's me, yourGM, your GM, Isaac Allen Burns.
And these are the moments as aGM.
You have to make a decisionsometimes. Critical is super
good, and you can control fthrough all the rules. You won't
find a single rule on what 80 ating a, Hasbro would have.
(16:02):
However, what this moveessentially does is you have
restrained its legs, and youhave made it fall prone. So in
this moment, to honor that critand because this doesn't do
damage, but that was a reallygreat move.
I think exactly what y'alldescribed occurs, and it is
currently vulnerable andrestrained. Wanna punch
Annie Hawthorne (16:17):
it in the head.
Isaac Allen Burns (16:18):
Awesome. We're punching it in the head.
So as it's on the ground thereand you see Crank moving towards
it, fist cocked and locked,Pistachio, what are you doing?
Rowan Collins (16:29):
So Pistachio has run up first to Wally who they
saw wet and out, and he goes, ohmy gosh. Wally, are you okay? Is
Wally breathing?
Isaac Allen Burns (16:36):
Wally is breathing incredibly fast. He is
breathing really fast. He isclutching one side of his face.
You can see, like, acid smokecoming off of him, and he's he's
he's grimacing. He's, like,groaning.
It hurts him.
Rowan Collins (16:51):
The pistachio has put both of their hands over,
Wally's face. One hand over, Iguess, Wally's hand and goes,
let me see it.
Joe Diametti (17:00):
Don't touch it.
Rowan Collins (17:01):
First see it. Wally, for the love of all that
is holy, please let me see it.
Isaac Allen Burns (17:06):
He, he lifts his hand up gingerly.
Rowan Collins (17:09):
And, as he lifts his hand up, pistachio swoops
their hand in, and they spend 3hope to clear 1 d 4 hit points
on a creature that they aretouching, which is Wally. So
they are going to heal Wally 2hit points.
Isaac Allen Burns (17:26):
Is is this the first time that you've done
magic around your family?
Rowan Collins (17:30):
This absolutely is the first time. Pistachio has
been very shy about doing magicat all. And right now, their,
like, instincts have kicked in.So they're not even thinking
about it at this moment just to,like, heal their brother.
Isaac Allen Burns (17:43):
What does this look like as the magic
courses through it?
Rowan Collins (17:46):
So I imagine that pistachio has a little bit of,
like the hands start to glow alittle blue and green as little
almost like vine like tendrilskinda gush into, like, Wally's
face and then kind of pulse asit, like, heals any knitted
skin. That was, it's kinda alittle gross magic, I think.
Isaac Allen Burns (18:06):
Could you go ahead and make a knowledge check
for me on this one?
Rowan Collins (18:10):
Sure thing. So that's going to be a 14 with
hope.
Isaac Allen Burns (18:15):
14 with hope. Something you know about acid
burns like this. What verylittle that you have learned so
far about medicine and being adoctor is that acid burns are
tough because even if you wereto heal it, as long as the acid
stays there, it's gonna continueto burn his skin. And you sort
of see that this stuff issticky. You gotta you're gonna
have to rinse this off or it'llkeep burning him.
(18:37):
However, you at least know thatyou have stabilized him. He's
still in a state of shock. He'sbreathing very quickly. His eyes
are unfocused, still clearly ina lot of pain, but he is not it
doesn't look like it's goingdeep into him anymore. It's
probably not.
It's not on the verge of deathright now from that acid. Mhmm.
But you can see that it's stillsizzling his skin.
Rowan Collins (18:56):
Okay.
Isaac Allen Burns (18:57):
As you're treating your brother, you're
dragging him away. Crank, wecalled a shot earlier. You're
gonna punch this thing in theface. Go ahead and roll those
bones. And just to explain And
Annie Hawthorne (19:07):
I have advantage. Right?
Isaac Allen Burns (19:09):
So you do. So vulnerable, anything that makes
you vulnerable means you're in avery difficult position. So what
happens basically is any rolestargeting a vulnerable
individual will have advantage.So as you go up and cock that
fist back, you slam down withyour gauntlets. Go ahead and
roll that attack with advantage.
Annie Hawthorne (19:27):
I am currently attempting to remind myself what
advantage is. Is that still a d6?
Isaac Allen Burns (19:31):
I'm so glad that you asked. Yes. Advantage
means you add a d 6 to yourtotal.
Annie Hawthorne (19:37):
That's what I thought.
Isaac Allen Burns (19:39):
Again, the hope and fear still work the
same. It's just now you add a d6 to the roll. That's
Annie Hawthorne (19:46):
close. 17 plus. It was 19 with beer.
Isaac Allen Burns (19:53):
That definitely beats this
difficulty. Yes. Go ahead androll damage.
Annie Hawthorne (19:57):
That's an 8 plus 1. That's 9 damage.
Isaac Allen Burns (19:59):
Crank. You start whaling on this thing. You
punch it once. You punch itagain. It is on the ground.
And as you're punching it, it isstruggling against its
restraints, and it is going tobegin to move. Now there are
currently 4 tokens in the actiontracker, which is really
exciting for me here at GM.Uh-oh. The first thing it's
going to do is attempt to breakout of its restraints here. And
(20:21):
what I'm gonna make it do is I'mgoing to make it attempt
Joe Diametti (20:24):
a roll. Can I talk shit for a little bit?
Isaac Allen Burns (20:26):
Yeah. Okay.
Joe Diametti (20:27):
Yeah. So Crank hits it, and I was just like,
yeah. You got it now. Got itnow. Here's a game messing with
the robot with the wizard hat.
They're just wailing. I'm like,what do you think this was? You
were gonna come up on some farm,throw some acid on some stuff.
This ain't nothing. You ain'tnothing.
Annie Hawthorne (20:42):
As you
Isaac Allen Burns (20:43):
start yelling at it
Joe Diametti (20:44):
Yeah.
Isaac Allen Burns (20:44):
It rolls a 15. Perfect. And you see it's,
as you yell, it's not you're notnothing. You see it looks at you
and goes and breaks through itsrestraints. It's like splay out
in all directions, and it standsup so quick.
Joe Diametti (20:57):
And that's why And then, yeah, like, Kapi, like
like, like, his shouldersscrunching, and he's, like, see,
this is you know, some peopledon't support this sort of
motivational style, but see whatit's gotten you is see how far
you've come is you now you aresomething. I I had faith all
along. I just wanted you to getyour full potential back it up
at the same time.
Isaac Allen Burns (21:15):
As you say that, Kapi, you see that as
quickly as it stood up, it'slike big pincers go into the
ground, and dirt is shoved intonowhere as it burrows in the
blink of an eye.
Joe Diametti (21:25):
Oh.
Isaac Allen Burns (21:25):
Moves as fast as a mole does, and there's a
moment. And suddenly burstingout of the ground between the 2
of you is this creature as itbursts out of the ground. I
can't stress enough how it hasexploded out from under you. I
need an agility reaction fromyou 2. K.
Annie Hawthorne (21:42):
That's just the same as a regular role. Right?
Joe Diametti (21:44):
That is correct. That is a 6 with hope.
Isaac Allen Burns (21:47):
That'll be a failure.
Joe Diametti (21:48):
Or I'm sorry. A 6 with fear.
Annie Hawthorne (21:50):
That's a 9 with fear.
Isaac Allen Burns (21:53):
No. So reactions don't do it, have hope
Oh, okay. Gotcha. That's okay.And
Annie Hawthorne (21:58):
that's just a Yeah.
Joe Diametti (21:59):
That's just a 6.
Isaac Allen Burns (22:00):
However, unfortunately, either of those
are high enough. And you bothare knocked to the ground and
made vulnerable until you nextact. Now the thing is, you guys,
this thing is so fast. Thisthing is so quick. It's
relentless, in fact, which meansthat
Annie Hawthorne (22:14):
I think that
Isaac Allen Burns (22:15):
Go ahead.
Annie Hawthorne (22:15):
Sorry to interrupt, but I really think
that falling to the ground isgoing to push me into
unstoppable mode.
Isaac Allen Burns (22:21):
What does that mean?
Annie Hawthorne (22:22):
I I feel like this whole time, even, like,
when I've been punching in myeyes, I've been, like,
flickering, kinda, like, betweenthe
Joe Diametti (22:28):
Yeah.
Annie Hawthorne (22:29):
Soft yellow and the red. And I think that
getting knocked over just makesthem go solid red.
Isaac Allen Burns (22:34):
Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Annie Hawthorne (22:35):
So I'm gonna enter unstoppable mode as I fall
to the ground. I cannot be madevulnerable in this mode.
Isaac Allen Burns (22:40):
Okay.
Annie Hawthorne (22:42):
So, yeah, I'm unstoppable on the ground.
Isaac Allen Burns (22:44):
Okay. Yeah. I'll say that happens. Kapi, you
go flying back a little bit. Youhit the ground hard, and you see
the crank turns red a littlebit.
Joe Diametti (22:54):
Oh, you done and did it now. Done did it now.
Isaac Allen Burns (22:57):
I'm gonna spend one of my banked fear to
allow it to go again now. Yes.And so it's going to make 2
attacks.
Joe Diametti (23:04):
Our GM's entering this villain era.
Isaac Allen Burns (23:06):
I'm in my villain era, you guys. First,
it's gonna swing at our mostvulnerable candidate, which is
Kapi. So this means I haveadvantage, which is a GM. That
means I roll 2 d twenties. Itake the highest.
Hear that?
Joe Diametti (23:18):
Yeah. I notice it's coming from me. I'm like,
act no. I was just kidding. Iwas just kidding.
You're great. I good good acidburrower. Good acid burrower.
Rowan Collins (23:27):
A crit?
Joe Diametti (23:28):
Good acid burrower.
Isaac Allen Burns (23:29):
That is a crit.
Joe Diametti (23:30):
No. It's not a crit. You're 2 d twenties?
Isaac Allen Burns (23:33):
As we recall, crits in this game for damage
are basically a brutal critical,which means the maximum of the
dice roll plus a dice roll.Happy. As this thing stands
over, you've been talking somuch shit. You see crank turn
red. The last time you saw thatwas back when you fought the eel
gators back at the swamps.
Joe Diametti (23:51):
Yeah.
Isaac Allen Burns (23:52):
And you have that thought as a scythe like
blade goes straight through yourstomach, almost pins you to the
Annie Hawthorne (23:59):
ground. Very close to him.
Isaac Allen Burns (24:01):
I'm gonna say in this case, you're you are
knocked in separate directions.Okay. So you are unfortunately
not very close to each other.But, Kathy, that's gonna be 33
points of damage.
Rowan Collins (24:10):
Oh, shit.
Holy shit.
Isaac Allen Burns (24:11):
Which I believe is severe. As a blade
stabs into you, it brings ablade up to go towards Krank
who's on the ground. Notvulnerable. So I only get to
roll 1 d20 on this one. I rolleda 2.
As its scythe like blade sinksinto the ground through Kapi
basically, you hear a sort ofmetallic screech as this scythe
(24:33):
just sort of glances off of yourmetallic body crank. That is all
for my guy. Kapi, I wanna askyou actually first. You're sort
of you're pinned to the ground.You're you're not restrained or
anything, but this thing is sortof pinned you.
You can feel its blade sort oftearing on your insides. It's
pulling the sight out of you.Kapi, how do you respond? You're
on the ground.
Annie Hawthorne (24:51):
Is is my jacket okay? Is my jacket okay? Is my
Isaac Allen Burns (24:54):
jacket okay?
Annie Hawthorne (24:54):
It's my jacket.
Isaac Allen Burns (24:55):
You know, you'd you'd have to see the back
of it. You don't know. Yourjacket was open, so it didn't
hit
Joe Diametti (24:59):
the front
Isaac Allen Burns (25:00):
of it at least.
Joe Diametti (25:01):
Yeah. I think I'm just gonna try to roll out of
the way. I don't know.
Isaac Allen Burns (25:05):
You roll out of the way. You're trying to get
out of there. So Kapi's movingaway. Crank, how are you
responding?
Annie Hawthorne (25:10):
I'm in full battle mode because I'm
unstoppable right now, and Idon't think I am aware of really
anything else.
Isaac Allen Burns (25:16):
K.
Annie Hawthorne (25:16):
So I'm just gonna get up off the ground and
continue trying to wail on thisthing as hard as I can.
Joe Diametti (25:23):
Do it.
Annie Hawthorne (25:23):
I think I will use my 1st full push ability on
this attack to try to get itaway from Kapi.
Isaac Allen Burns (25:30):
What up? So can
Annie Hawthorne (25:33):
I use my battle born experience?
Isaac Allen Burns (25:36):
I'm gonna say no in this case. I'm gonna say
no.
Rowan Collins (25:39):
Billionaire. Mhmm.
Isaac Allen Burns (25:40):
I'm gonna say right now, like, ex for
experiences, I don't think itwould have to be a very specific
case.
Annie Hawthorne (25:45):
Yeah. That makes sense.
Isaac Allen Burns (25:46):
It's That makes sense.
Annie Hawthorne (25:47):
It's gonna be 14 with beer again.
Isaac Allen Burns (25:51):
That will hit it. That is some fear. Uh-oh.
Annie Hawthorne (25:54):
So ideal damage, push the target out of
melee range and may spend a hopeto make it temporarily
vulnerable. So I'll do that too.
Joe Diametti (26:00):
I really thought I was gonna save the day with the
rope.
Annie Hawthorne (26:02):
That's 6.
Joe Diametti (26:03):
I thought we were just gonna
Isaac Allen Burns (26:04):
The rope killed it. Yeah. I thought
attacking y'all once, though.
Joe Diametti (26:07):
I was like, I'm gonna think my way out of this
one time.
Annie Hawthorne (26:11):
That's 6 damage. I'm gonna use mark a
stress to hit it again withadvantage because I made a
vulnerable. That's a crit.
Rowan Collins (26:22):
Oh. Let's go.
Annie Hawthorne (26:24):
Which is 8 +1 9 no. 4812. So it's 13. 13 damage
on the second.
Isaac Allen Burns (26:33):
Oh, no.
Joe Diametti (26:34):
This got a crit.
Isaac Allen Burns (26:35):
Crank, you are slamming into this thing.
You hit it once. You hit ittwice. You feel something break
inside of it. It squeals inpain.
As you push it away, it evenstumbles back almost closer to
its hole. It looks really hurt.Now pistachio, you have dragged
Wally, I would say, a safedistance away. He's still
breathing very quickly. He'shyperventilating.
His eyes are kind of moving inall different directions. His
(26:58):
skin almost feels clammy at thispoint. He was definitely in
shock.
Rowan Collins (27:01):
Definitely in shock.
Isaac Allen Burns (27:02):
But he is the skin is no longer you have
pretty well rinsed it off. Youknow that you'd probably have to
apply some soft gauze to it, butI think, pistachio, you're
looking at the
Joe Diametti (27:11):
like the soft rub?
Isaac Allen Burns (27:11):
It's like a soft rope. It's like a soft of
gauze. Gotcha. You need a softof gauze, honestly?
Rowan Collins (27:15):
Okay. Got it.
Isaac Allen Burns (27:16):
You look over.
Rowan Collins (27:17):
50 feet of gauze?
Isaac Allen Burns (27:18):
50 feet of gauze.
Annie Hawthorne (27:19):
Of gauze. A lot of gauze.
Joe Diametti (27:20):
A
Isaac Allen Burns (27:20):
lot of gauze. A half soft, really. You look
over. You see your dad on theground, and now you see Kapi on
the ground. It's a lot of bloodcoming out of Kapi's stomach.
Rowan Collins (27:31):
So I think Pistachio, at this point, is
making, like, a split judgment.So, they're gonna look at their
dad. How bad does their dadlook?
Isaac Allen Burns (27:38):
As you look over, you see your dad is
holding his arm. There doesn'tseem to be a lot of blood.
Actually, from where you'restanding, it almost looks like
his arm is broken. And you'relooking at Kapi, and you see he
got fully stabbed in thestomach. So you think that Kapi
is definitely worse off rightnow.
Rowan Collins (27:53):
Okay. So kinda want Pistachio to do 2 things,
but I'm gonna
Isaac Allen Burns (27:58):
Pistachio to do 2 things.
Annie Hawthorne (27:59):
That's the good that's the good of Daggerheart.
Rowan Collins (28:00):
You know what I mean? Thing that they're gonna
do is they're gonna look atWally and go, take care of dad.
And they're gonna bust outrunning towards,
Isaac Allen Burns (28:09):
Wally doesn't respond. Yeah.
Rowan Collins (28:11):
They're gonna take care of they're gonna run
over to, like because,essentially, they're looking at
this and saying, like, they'reprobably out of the fight.
They're at a good distance. Abroken arm can be mended later,
but Kapi's got a literal gashesthrough him. And so, Pistachio
runs over and, like like, slidesin to, like, take care of Kapi,
and they go, alright. Okay.
(28:32):
Alright. Now stay
with me. I've got you. Alright. Ready?
Isaac Allen Burns (28:35):
It's my jacket. Okay.
Rowan Collins (28:36):
Your your jacket's gonna be fine. I think
Just like Tell,
Joe Diametti (28:40):
Scarlet.
Rowan Collins (28:41):
You're gonna be they they look at they look at
you.
Isaac Allen Burns (28:45):
Kapi's saying his last words. Tell And
Rowan Collins (28:47):
they go Tell They slap you. And as they slap you,
they, do the same thing to healyou.
Isaac Allen Burns (28:53):
Much more violently.
Rowan Collins (28:55):
Much more violently, unless you gain, what
was that number that I justrolled? 2 health points back.
And they go, keep fighting.
And they turn around, and they, like, lock
down on this thing.
Joe Diametti (29:09):
So wait. Did you heal me?
Rowan Collins (29:10):
Yes. Two points
Joe Diametti (29:11):
of damage. Okay.
Rowan Collins (29:13):
2 hit points.
Isaac Allen Burns (29:14):
Wow. Yeah.
Rowan Collins (29:14):
So they lock eyes on this thing.
Isaac Allen Burns (29:16):
Still covered in blood, Kathy.
Joe Diametti (29:18):
Yeah. But I know like, does I I I feel it
close-up. Right?
Isaac Allen Burns (29:20):
You feel
Joe Diametti (29:21):
it close-up.
Isaac Allen Burns (29:21):
It's one of those things where, like, you
can feel the skin close-up. AndOh. Modern medicine we modern
audiences know, uh-oh. Mhmm.Probably some nasty bug gunk in
there, but you think he'll befine.
Rowan Collins (29:32):
Yeah. I'm gonna use this thing called vicious
entangle, which we've alreadyseen from Sebastian, where I'm
gonna make a spell cast rollagainst this thing to try and
restrain it with roots andvines. Kind of basically
repeating the same thing thatKapi did in AT AT it, but with
vines this time.
Isaac Allen Burns (29:47):
Let's roll. Let's see what happens.
Rowan Collins (29:50):
That is a 20 with hope.
Isaac Allen Burns (29:52):
Gracious sakes. You see that, as this
creature is sort of dazed,confused, its eyes kinda rolling
in its head, It looks and yousee a creature that is cornered
and vines whip up. And before itcan even do anything, before it
can even react in a way thatwould suggest that it has
already had this happen to it,you tangle it up.
Rowan Collins (30:14):
And what this does is it also does 1 d 8 plus
1 of physical damage. So itlike, these are vines covered in
spikes as it lashes into it with5 points of damage.
Isaac Allen Burns (30:25):
Pistachio, as these vines wrap around this
thing, you'll hear this finalcrack. And, Kapi, you and Crank,
kinda closest to it. Crank is alittle red eyed right now. Kapi,
can you give me an instinct rollfor me?
Joe Diametti (30:41):
Yes. Instinct's a plus 0, but that's okay. No.
It's not. That's a 10 with fear.
Isaac Allen Burns (30:48):
A 10 with fear. Okay. Kapi, you're looking
at this creature right now. AndKapi, I would say between the
two people also finding thisthing, Kapi has definitely had
the most street smarts, I wouldsay. Mhmm.
You look at a creature that'scornered, which I think Kapi
finds surprising seeing there'sthere's a big hole that it came
from here. Right? Mhmm. Asyou're looking at this thing, it
(31:12):
didn't run. It clearly couldhave.
It was hurt. It had really noreason of being here. Why was it
even here? These things don'teat nuts. It wasn't even it
didn't even seem like it washere to eat anything.
Something
Joe Diametti (31:25):
Yeah. Drove it. And to be really honest, that
was Kapi's a lot of Kapi'smotivation on, like, just trying
to tie it down originally. Yeah.It was like something's not
Kapi's starting to get realconspiracy boy about this whole
thing.
Yeah. And to the point where Iassume peep most people probably
won't believe him, but, like,he's starting to, like, have
real bad vibes just abouteverything that happens.
Isaac Allen Burns (31:46):
And I think I think with that fear, Kapi is
still unable to piece put thepieces together. Mhmm. But I
think that Kapi recognizessomething up is up here Yeah. As
this thing is imploded from theinside, as these vines crush it
in finality. You see thiscreature, its body gets crushed
(32:08):
and then turns to this purpleash that sinks into the ground.
Rowan Collins (32:12):
I think pistachio is holding their hand up as they
did this and, like, breathingreally heavily and that, like,
as it takes a second longerbefore their eyes go snap back
in and they break out, and thenthey go, oh, shit, dad. And
they, like, run back over to goset their dad's arm and, like,
help Molly out.
Isaac Allen Burns (32:30):
Crank, how do you feel right now? What's going
on with Crank?
Annie Hawthorne (32:33):
Well, I think the minute the threat is over,
Crank has just, like, kindabattle mode ends and, like,
comes back to it. And he's like,oh, what happened? And I, like,
look around to see what elsehappened because I don't know
what's been going on around meuntil this point.
Joe Diametti (32:49):
Crank, great job.
Annie Hawthorne (32:50):
God. Kapi, you're covered in blood.
Joe Diametti (32:52):
Yeah. Yeah. Covered in blood. You did great.
Again, kudos.
I'm worried that maybe you'renot processing things correctly.
Annie Hawthorne (33:03):
What do you mean? I I'm I'm not sure what
you mean. I I do have, like, aprocessor. You know? It's like a
whole 4 core kinda situation.
I I process many things at once.
Joe Diametti (33:15):
Yes. Except it seems to be core things, like
when you get upset.
Annie Hawthorne (33:21):
Upset? What do you mean upset? I don't have
emotions. I remember a lot.
Joe Diametti (33:24):
I guess what's the last thing you remember here?
Annie Hawthorne (33:26):
I mean, I I remember beating this thing to a
pulp.
Joe Diametti (33:29):
Uh-huh. And then?
Annie Hawthorne (33:30):
And then I was here, and it was dead.
Joe Diametti (33:32):
Yeah. And the gator.
Annie Hawthorne (33:35):
Yeah. I I punched that too, and then it
ran away. And then it Yeah. Iwas
Joe Diametti (33:39):
It didn't run away.
Annie Hawthorne (33:40):
Oh.
Joe Diametti (33:40):
I mean, it's life did. Oh. From its eyes.
Annie Hawthorne (33:45):
That's right. Yeah. I must have blushed that
out.
Joe Diametti (33:47):
Uh-huh. If someone that processes emotions very
well, I've been told almost toowell, some would say.
Annie Hawthorne (34:00):
Emotions are simply electrical impulses,
Kapi.
Joe Diametti (34:03):
Yes. And where do you think your impulses are
short circuiting?
Annie Hawthorne (34:09):
I'm pretty sure I'm functioning as designed.
Joe Diametti (34:11):
Perfect. We'll table this, but I think maybe we
could revisit this later.
Isaac Allen Burns (34:15):
As you turn around to see Pistachio walking
towards their family at ahurried pace, you see another
figure running towards all ofyou. He's waving a hand and is
yelling kind of in the distance,
Annie Hawthorne (34:26):
It's all very well okay. Does anyone need
help? I know. I know basic man.I know basic first name.
Isaac Allen Burns (34:31):
And coming closer, you see this figure.
He's got, like, a messenger bagslung on his side. He's got,
like, a a well fitted vest and,like, some nice black slacks,
like, a purple vest. He's gotblue skin. He's this, Inferni,
which is sort of, like, similarto, like, a devil person almost
with these sort of big bluehorns.
But he's running up sort ofwaving his hand saying, I saw
the commotion. I heard I thinksomeone one of the farmers here
(34:53):
told us that there was acommotion here. I came to see if
I can help. Does anyone isanyone hurt?
Joe Diametti (34:56):
Do I know this person?
Isaac Allen Burns (34:58):
You've never seen this person before.
Joe Diametti (34:59):
No. Okay. It's a small town. Right?
Isaac Allen Burns (35:01):
It's a small town.
Joe Diametti (35:02):
Yeah.
Rowan Collins (35:03):
You know, basic first aid, quick. Great. I need
a split and some gauze, and I'mgonna go straight into helping
my dad. Who we can deal withnames later? You're coming with
me.
Do you know how to deal withshock?
Isaac Allen Burns (35:15):
He says, yes. Yes. Okay. I have combat
medicine training.
Rowan Collins (35:19):
Okay. Fantastic. Alright. My father's arm is
broken, and my brother is inshock. So I need to deal with
both of them.
I need somebody to hold himwhile I split him.
Isaac Allen Burns (35:28):
Okay. I'll handle your brother that's in
shock. Okay. He points at Kathy,and he says, you, help this one
with their father.
Joe Diametti (35:35):

We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
