(00:00):
Welcome back to the Tall Tale Tavern, the monthly one Shot
adventure TTRPG podcast. I'm your Tavern master and host
Kyle, and we are back for Chapter 13 of Expedition Untold.
Joining me at the bar tonight. I'm giving him a free
inspiration just 'cause I think he has the cutest patootie in
the group. And yes, if you're wondering,

(00:21):
that means I do keep a ranking board of all my players butts.
I'd show it on camera right now,but I'm self-conscious about my
drawing skills. And yes, if you're wondering,
that means I do sketches of everyone's butts to go with
their ranking. I just love butts.
Especially this one. Scott Espond is here.
Welcome. Scott.

(00:42):
It went on for so long. Really.
Weird, Kyle. Really, really really weird of
you to say all that. Very detailed.
But I'm. Wondering what the pictures were
for? There's Nicola.
Where's that? Oh man, that's yeah.
I just really need to get that out.
Because it's. Been weighing on me that I've
been doodling all of your butts.I did think it was weird that I

(01:04):
had to submit a selfie from behind in order to get on to the
podcast. But yeah, just wow.
Wonderful. Great.
Welcome back, Scott. So it's great to have you.
Pleasure to be here. Also here.
He may not be real, but he makesthe perfect third wheel.
We have the cleric lad played byLandy.
Welcome, Landy. Hey, hey, thanks for having me.

(01:27):
Damn. Also here, wondering if it would
be an intellectual property violation to wear a banned
T-shirt for landfills banned thered weather without their
permission. On tonight's podcast, it's Mav.
Welcome, Mav. What's on land again?
The Red Weather. They've got an album out.
Go download it, it's great. Wow, thank you.

(01:50):
Thank you self promotion. If it's somebody.
Else it's true. Also here, could this be the
final evolution of the Viper cosplay?
Oh no. Thank you.

(02:11):
Good to be here. Also here stop recovering so
current school. Psychologist is so.
Stop it. Stop an inspiring basketball.
It's Brooke. Welcome, Brooke.
Thank you. That in the butts, one man.

(02:33):
Sorry guys, I was being. Tickled.
Uncontrollably by something for that one.
Thank you. That that brought me a lot of
joy. I like that.
And finally, last but not least,it's rain and Hughes.
Hallelujah, It's rain and Hughes.

(02:54):
Amen. He's going to fall down and
hopefully get a big robot killing crit.
I think that's how the song goes, Becca.
I'm really. Upset.
I love it. I almost posted in the discord
when you said you needed song ideas and that you had one.
I almost posted. I bet $10 she does.

(03:15):
It's raining, Hugh and. I'm very upset that I didn't do
it you. Could have won $10.
I know you all would have owed me $10.
Well, welcome back everyone. Let's go ahead and reopen the
book. Turn to chapter 13 and continue
the story of Expedition Untold. Roll the intro.

(04:03):
Previously on Expedition Untold 175 years ago, the crowning AI
achievement crew met L 10 from Mothership when he stopped at
Earth on what should have been ashort visit.
Together they tried to take downHihachi like in the original
story, but the red news had corrupted the AI, causing L 10
to get sucked into Hatchi, Dasher to explode, and the rest
of the crew to be unknowingly changed into AI.

(04:26):
The rest of the world quickly fell to the AI's influence and
all surviving organics fled to the old city, now underground,
where they became mutated from the exposure to Industrial Acre.
Viper, Ladd, Paulo and Ben had their memories suppressed and
when I stepped through the portal 2 days ago they thought
it had only been six weeks sincetrying to take down Hayachi.
We travelled to New Lisbon thinking we were meeting up with

(04:48):
resistance fighters, but insteadwere ambushed by Hayachi and had
to flee underground. There.
The mutated organics were actingso strangely to me they called
me El Salvador and said they'd been waiting.
For a being like me that is of both machine and mutant, it was
very overwhelming. Then my friends, my beautiful,
wonderful, amazing friends, theyfound me.

(05:10):
The Red Hoos had tricked Emtero into changing his past which
sent him and Namby into alternative realities, and Tero
found out his father isn't a genie but is actually an Aladron
who's living in the Fae Wild andNamby she met River thankfully.
William the Barkeeper sent 2 characters from killing time to
find both of them and get them to Crowning AI achievement and

(05:31):
now they're here. They look a little different but
that's OK, so do I. We talked with William and found
out that he's actually William from the past and our William
was killed during the original fight against the Ooze.
Our only chance to reset all of the stories is to break the
Oozes hold on this story. So today Emtero is going to help
the Crowning AI achievement crewfind the AI Alice who should be

(05:55):
able to break Kihachi's influence on them for good.
Naomi and I will lead the mutants into battle against the
machines. If any of us get into trouble,
we are supposed to use a page from Mothership to get us out of
here. It's going to be hard to just
leave them to die. We'll see.
We return to the caves beneath the outskirts of New Lisbon City

(06:19):
in the early morning, the anticipation of a great battle
weighing heavy on the minds of our of our organic and AI
heroes. Using the mutating powers of the
Icker, Hugh, Namby and Mtero have merged their minds and
abilities with their own swarm of mutants in preparation for
the battle. Viper, Paulo, Ladd, and Ben
anxiously await their descent into the cold, dark waters of

(06:42):
the Tegus Actuary. What do some of your characters
do this morning awaiting dawn and the start of the battle that
is sure to commence within the next hour or so?
Well. Piper woke up earlier than
probably she should have becauseshe was anticipating this battle

(07:03):
that she's never done anything big like this before, it's only
been like small scale skirmishesso she's anxious.
So when she got up, she went deeper into the cavern tunnels
and found these bioluminescent mushrooms dimly lighting the
area and it reminded her of Paolo's spray paint that glows

(07:30):
down his arm that follows his tattoo of his dragon.
So in this inspiration flash, she collects these mushrooms and
kind of pulverizes them into a paste, and then she wanders off
to find a smooth surface to apply this new medium to.

(07:56):
When Paolo wakes up, finding Viper not next to him, they'd
gone to sleep next to each other, but finding her gone,
he's not sure how to feel. But he knows that he enjoyed,
you know, spending the night close to somebody cares for.
And so without going to look forher, he kind of sets out all his

(08:19):
gear and he pops open a little, a small steam capsule from his
arm and throws in a couple packets that he's been storing
for a special occasion and brewsa little coffee and puts it
into, you know, a couple mugs hecan find and, and leaves one for

(08:40):
Viper and then goes to kind of see if Lad and Ben are awake
and, and hand them a cup if they're up.
So Paula finds Lad kind of in a a yoga pose and he is just eyes
closed meditating in preparation.
So as Paulo walks up, he kind ofwordless, wordlessly, and with

(09:04):
his eyes still closed, reaches out his hand and grabs the cup
as though he feels it coming. Lad knows the routine.
Lad knows the. Routine.
We're all eating casserole, right?
We're all eating the the cheesy potato casserole.
Potato casserole. Now it's in two episodes, so
Kyle can't resist. Namby or you?

(09:29):
Do you have anything 'cause I feel like I have.
I got one thing but I feel like I should go last.
Nothing's super specific. I think Namby's feeling kind of
extra nervous just 'cause this is like up until now we've just
kind of been like hurtling through, like we've had no
control over what's happening. We're just kind of like going

(09:49):
and this is like a big one that might determine a lot of stuff.
So she's just being very meticulous about like making
sure she has all of her materials with her and like
picking out the right like skills and spells and that kind
of stuff. Yeah, I think kind of similar
where it's it's getting to Hugh in his head a lot, especially he

(10:12):
just, he feels a lot of pressureon himself.
So even though he was so desperate to find his people,
now that he knows where you guysare and like you're in a
contained space for a brief moment in time, I think he's
actually going to kind of go offa little bit.
And Kyle, can you describe like where so are we in like the
sewer systems of the old city? Like mm hmm.

(10:33):
Initially. You were in the sewer systems
and you've kind of gone through,but they kind of connected to
just a cave system at that point.
A lot of it you can tell is natural.
A lot of it you can tell has been dugout by the mutants
themselves. But you can see different
pockets and caverns and it's it's almost like a imagine like

(10:55):
an Ant hill, like an like a, youknow, the kind of how that would
spread out under underground. If you had like an Ant farm and
could see that, that's sort of what it would look like is.
Something like that. OK, so I think Hugh is going to
find a spot kind of up high withhis legs up high.

(11:16):
His his is not too up high for him and he is just kind of going
to sit and where you can kind ofjust watch and think with over
the other mutants. Not not really drawing attention
to himself at all, but just kindof obsessing about worry about
like letting them down and letting and letting the group

(11:36):
down, but just trying to still his mind a little bit before
going into the situation. Pugh being a broody boy, no.
I know, shocking. I think Imtero is then probably
at first kind of chilling in hisarea, finishing up a last like a

(11:58):
letter to his mom before we go out.
You know, writing something out to her about how a few days ago
he was fighting Cactus Dragon and then he was finding out that
his life was a lie. And then now he's here and part
of a mutant swarm. Then he wishes she could be
there to see it and he does forgive her for not telling him

(12:21):
everything. And then he's going to burn that
as normal and fold up sort of his papers and stuff and grab
stuff. And he's going to stop by Lad
because I haven't had much chance to interact with Lad and
I'm just he's, excuse me, I, I see you're meditating.
I don't mean to disturb you. But not at all.
Perfect Huguenard told me that you enjoy reading and so I

(12:43):
thought I would give you a book in case you know, you have to
spend some time here waiting forus after this fight.
It was given to me by by a friend in a different story.
It's called The Myth of the FourRivers.
It's a story of my of my time where some people attempted to
steal the power of the sun and in their folly destroyed the

(13:04):
earth and were punished for it. And I thought perhaps it could
serve as inspiration for us right now to try and defeat that
infernal AI who has stolen the sun from you.
And I hand him that. Vlad reaches out and kind of
gently takes the book and just kind of nod solemnly, thinking

(13:29):
about, you know, he's even goingto have a chance to read this,
but he appreciates the gesture and just kind of nod solemnly to
him tearo and kind of pass him on the shoulder.
I appreciate it. I appreciate that.
And. You'll have to tell me what you
think about it when we see each other again.
I'm going to do my best to keep us all alive.
And then after that, if time's winding up, Ventura's going to

(13:53):
start casting the spell motivational speech on this
group. He's going to like turn out to
everybody and be like to all themutants.
And that goes for all of you think, remember what was stolen
from you by this AI. Remember that it tried to take
your fire. And then I'm going to, if I can
lead people, if they're not already in the area or wherever,

(14:16):
Viper as I need to look to Viperand give her like a nod and then
went. And then I'm going to use create
Flame to illuminate the area to shine a light on the mural that
Viper has created. So behind Viper on the wall, she
used the bioluminescent paste and painted a mural of what New

(14:40):
Lisbon City was like 175 years ago before the AI takeover.
Simple but yet identifiable portrayals of the common life.
Like dancing in a club, street racing a hand from the light,
reaching to pull an outstretchedhand from the dark.
And behind it all it says fight for a stolen past, fight for

(15:04):
your future. So with Emtero's fire, it kind
of just like soaks in that energy and makes it glowed and
brighter. And motivational speech will for
should hit all of you because I'm going to cast it at 4th
level. So you'll all get 30 temporary

(15:26):
hit points, and for the next hour you have advantage on
Wisdom saving throws. Well then don't eat your
casserole. Save the casserole.
I was specifically, I guess. Yeah, we should not eat the
casserole. As you like, you tell that
story, you're there with your swarm and you're each of your
swarms are like 15 mutants, right?

(15:46):
And then and there's so many more mutants around that have
similar power, like like swim abilities or or wings or, you
know, etcetera. But yeah, interior you tell that
story and like your squadron like looks sort of like you got
that like dripping wax off of them.
But like as you like, as you give that motivational speech,

(16:07):
you your fire flares, you can see they have like some like
embers in their skin as well, that flare and go along with it.
And it just provides that extra,that extra oomph.
And then of course with Vipers mural, absolutely beautiful, you
are going to have to make a performance check on that mural
to. See how good it?
Is I was hoping you wouldn't ask.

(16:27):
You got to give her. A paint on that check you.
Get an advantage. Yes, you get an advantage.
Yes, you get an advantage. Because it was it was great.
I don't think I've ever felt like more of a bad guy.
No. OK.
We're going to keep saying. If I've never.
Felt like more of a bad guy in this campaign than.
Asking. For a performance, check on how
well you painted this this beautiful mural.
I don't get anything. Yeah, do.

(16:49):
You have a. Performance modifier of
anything. Because it was a one for that
one. No, no.
No. It was a four for the 2nd 1 -, 1
is a three. So when I said it's simple, it's

(17:11):
like, it's like it's like caveman style symbols you.
Know what? You're in a group of Cavemen, so
it's just. The mutants, they might just
think that that's great. Attracts, yeah, it's, I mean, oh
heck yeah. They they rolled a 19 on a
perception. They get it.
They they, they absolutely get it.
They're picking up what you're putting.

(17:32):
Diaper, you are so proud of this.
And you four are just like, oh boy, that was them, Daryl, you
enlight you, you, you, you shinethe light on it waiting for this
beautiful mural. And it's just like cake drawings
for the mutants. Get it?
It's. Just so scared, yeah.
Yeah. I make some, I get a second
alone with you. I'm like, you can artist.

(17:54):
Viper's a terrible artist. You should have helped.
I'm so disappointed in myself. When?
When, when we come back and whenwe find them again, I, we'll sit
down and we'll go. We'll go through some drawings.
Thank goodness Kyle has never made me roll a performance on my
my sketches. Oh that would be hilarious if

(18:15):
they came out all fucked up. Look every.
Time you roll an echo. I have to you have to roll a
performance. Viper is much more used to a
digital media. This is a physical media.
It's different. She's learning.
It's. It's.
Mushrooms. OK guys, I just took mushrooms
and. But I mean you got a four so
even 4 mushrooms it's pretty bad.

(18:36):
Oh goodness. That's that's great.
So awesome. You guys all have 30 temporary
HP and on and for those who are swarms which is Mt Row, Namby
and Hugh, you in your swarm formhave 100 HP and once that goes
away you will be out of swarm form back to your regular

(19:01):
character sheet with all of yourregular health.
Kind of like a wild shape. Of course, any damage you take
will carry over if it doesn't take you down to exactly 0 like
a Wild Shape in 2014. Does the temporary HP apply to
the swarm form or to the underlying personal form?
It's going to apply to the swarmform here, I think, but I don't

(19:24):
know if the I don't actually don't know the rules on Wild
Shape and how that would work, but we're going to find it to
the swarm form. Triple, if that makes sense.
Yeah, if it was a wild shape, you'd you'd get it on your wild
shape form like. You'd get it on your current
form if you were like. We're so fucking off book.
Who cares what the rules are, man turn.
It to the ground. It's the rule of cool.
Also it just makes the math easier to just apply it now.

(19:47):
Yeah. Yeah, it's much handier for us
because we keep triples until weget to 50.
So that's an. That's a huge buffer to keep
triples on. Oh yeah, good point.
So wait, if you eat the casserole.
In swarm form, does it actually give 9 as opposed to three?
Because you made it. You made it in non swarm.
Form. That's a good.

(20:08):
Point you did make. It but Paulo helped me, so we
don't like our. Entire.
Swarm. Bacon we all.
Like that scene in Ghost where he reached around me and was
forming the casserole. Man with Viper in the room.
Guys, that's fuck this whole casserole narrative.
This is really turning into fanfic.
It truly is. This is really the fanfic

(20:29):
casserole. Santa Casserole.
That's a good band name, I call it.
Is it creamy? Though Yeah, how creamy is?
It the mutants are starting to move so they, the ones with the
that are going in for this, you know, land attack, you know,
without any wings or gills are headed towards the street.

(20:52):
So are the winged forms as well,and the mutants that can swim,
and Tiro included, and the sub crew.
You would all be heading downward, deeper down into the
caverns, closer to the river where the caverns will
eventually go underwater. Is there anything else that you
guys say to each other? Anything else you'd do before

(21:15):
splitting up? Heading your separate ways just.
Reminding. Yeah, well, I'm reminding the
three of us that we have those com things that we can use once,
right? So we should.
Say, how does that work? Is that like we can only say one
thing with it or once? What is it?

(21:35):
You all have a coms device. There's there's enough for all
of you to take one because I think Bob had just given you
like a like a box of them, like he had a punch.
But the COMS device allows for like message spell to be sent
like one time with it per short rest is when you have to reset
it is. Is one time use electronics this

(21:58):
is. So let's say 1.
Time. Anxiety.
That's why they are where they are.
Yeah. So it'll ask for one time
message, it'll it will work on apoint in this battlefield, but
it just allows that one time communication.
I think last time we said we were gonna save it for letting
each other know when we use the page if we're about to go to 0.

(22:21):
And you? Three say what's up?
What's? Up is this on?
Is this working? Yes and MTRO, Hugh and Namby.
You all have a page from the mothership that you can activate
whenever you want to go into thefuture to mother.

(22:41):
Imagining MTR is going to open that up underwater and it just
disintegrates into nothing doesn't work.
Was there any anything else? Anybody else, anything else?
I think after the big group hug you guys can all go your
separate ways. And so the sub crew are AI

(23:04):
compatriots go down along with Mtero and the rest of the
mutants who have all various appendages of, you know, fins,
large tails with with for for swimming, webbed hands.
All of them have gills, gills ontheir neck, gills on, you know,
the sides of their bodies. You see some of the larger

(23:26):
mutants as well walking down there.
They don't seem like they'll be able to swim as well, but they
have a lot of strength and that's where they're headed with
like multiple arms. You're wondering how this is
actually going to work for them swimming underwater.
But you all kind of head down through the caves and you get to
a point where the where it meetsthe water.

(23:49):
And so Ben transforms into his submarine, self jumps in the
water and turns into the submarine, which is like a it's
not super big. It has one big glass like oh,
but like cover on it and it's it'd be 123 is how you'll sit in

(24:10):
there. Viper Lad and and Paolo, does it
have a steering? Wheel or just like a PlayStation
controller? I just want to know the
situation it has. Yeah, it does.
It does not have a Logitech controller or.
Whatever that was, it's a Mad Cats.
Controller it's the. It's the player 2 controller

(24:31):
that's in there. It it does have controls in
there and so whoever is driving can help with some of the
ability checks for Ben and give him advantage just like in the
car from before the as you guys get kind of like get in there,
you hear Ben's voice like over the calm and he gives you kind

(24:53):
of goes over some of the detailsof this massive prison ship that
quick had given you. There's the buoyancy sensor on
this massive prison submarine that is sitting on the bottom of
the estuary and twig gave you the the layout of the entire
prison submarine. And you know that if you hit

(25:14):
that spot, the prison submarine will have to surface.
And when it can surface, you canget on top of it, get through
the Hatch into the submarine where the Hatch is located.
It's relatively close to the front of the ship where Alice is
being held as prisoner. You also know that you'll be

(25:36):
approaching this ship or this submarine that's under the water
that's meant to be undetected and meant to detect everything
that will come close to it. And so then before he turned
into a submarine, self cast and pass without trace on himself.
This will be ADC 30 skill check for him in order to have it

(25:58):
basically a surprise round on this prison submarine.
So anything that you could give him to help boost that would be
helpful for Ben. Yeah, lad's gonna give.
Him guidance. What's the?
What's the? DC ability?
Like what's the ability check it'll be?

(26:19):
Stealth for him. Stealth is Dexterity.
Yeah, Yeah. Either me or.
Namby can probably enhance ability him, yeah.
I don't have anything cool. Like that's already.
Enhance. Ability would give him advantage
on Dexterity checks. Do you have anything?

(26:41):
You will need to concentrate on intero.
Probably not right now because I.
Probably will, yeah. I I think.
It makes sense that interior would.
I'm going down. I'm going to go down with them
anyway, so I think I would probably do it.
And I can also throw a bardic inspiration to him as well in
this moment. So cool, I will.

(27:03):
Lay. My hands on the submarine and
gently whisper into its ear. You know you are quiet as a
mouse, my biomechanical friend. If I were to.
Cast greater Invisibility. What would that do for us?
Oh. Crap.
Greater invisibility. You have greater invisibility.
That is such a great spell, it is even greater.

(27:24):
Than greater. Honestly, geez.
So invisibility 'cause there's water involved.
Unfortunately, invisibility is not gonna grant him anything in
this because the submarine doesn't see by vision, right?
It's got so so so greater invisibility won't work for

(27:45):
that. He would remain invisible after
shooting, but that, yeah, it wouldn't help with the stealth
roll aspect of it. Still valuable.
Maybe at some point to use that though.
I mean, if other things that rely on sight enter the water at
any point, you know, so does. He does.
He already have advantage on dexterity checks if I give.

(28:06):
Him and if I use enhance ability, yes, OK.
Is that a spell? It is a.
Spell and it's concentration. And it is concentration.
Yes, save it. Because save it he.
Says Hallow's going. To like fold over what would
have been like the center console in, in Ben's car form

(28:30):
and like slide out the surge injector and he's gonna take an
ampule of Valhalla and just pop it in and just slide it in.
And he's going to kind of pat the control side and say.
That I know. You've been down this road
before. You'll be OK.
We'll we'll come out the other side together, right?

(28:52):
And he's going to get for one hour after consuming this drug,
he adds one D 4 + 2 Dexterity checks and Dexterity saving
throws. And one time during this hour he
gets advantage on them. OK.
Great, so he gets AD 4 from that.
I'm gonna what I'm gonna do. This will be a Tavern roll, but
I'm gonna get all the bonuses going before I actually roll for
him. This DC30 might end up being

(29:15):
fairly easy for him, which is Imperial puts.
Away his magic and instead let'sPaolo inject him with drugs
against his will and I. Guess.
Just gives him the bardic inspiration that you said has
like triple advantage while I'm a swarm, so yeah.
Triple advantage to the bardic inspiration rule.

(29:35):
So this is Lad's guidance gives it a three.
That's great. Paulo's D4 is A1.
And then what's your bardic die,DAD?
Eight first. One is A1.
Then a six Why are we letting Kyle roll?

(29:55):
These I know. He's got Kyle in it.
It's a really. Great question.
That's a six. OK, so 10.
Already from just those 10 already plus his.
Plus 10 from pass without trace.OK.
Does he have anything for stealth 20 already?
He's got a + 3 for stealth, so he's got a + 23 to this roll.

(30:17):
OK with advantage With advantage.
With advantage. So.
Just don't roll like Kitty. Did a second ago.
Come on, please don't roll like.Me guys let me handle this.
So you guys get into so, so you're inside Ben and he

(30:37):
submerges under the water and MTRO you and your swarm of, of
mutants falling around keeping your distance 'cause you know
you, you're not trying to make this stealth check as well.
But you follow down into the water into the cold waters of
the estuary and you kind of set a course down underneath through

(30:59):
the water. It's fairly dark, visibility is
low and you start to see some like faint lights on the bottom
of the of the ocean floor barelyfar away.
And Ben just shuts off like everything and just becomes this
floating submarine just cautiously, slowly moving toward
this prison submarine. We'll, we'll do the stealth roll

(31:22):
here. He's got a + 23 to this roll.
He's got to hit A7 or higher with advantage.
Here's the Tavern roll. A 14 and A. 15 Let's go.
Let's go, Ben. So he.
Just cruises on down and you getcloser and closer to this
massive, massive submarine that's just resting on the on

(31:44):
the floor of this of this body of water.
You can see like greenery is kind of started to go up around
it a little bit some seaweed. It's been down here for quite a
while and he gets closer and closer and he's going to be able
to make an attack on this, on this sensor.

(32:05):
Sensor has an 18 of 18 AC and he's got a torpedo that he can
fire. Once he fires, then things will
happen. So can I assist?
In the targeting I'm. So I'm assuming.
That I'm piloting because I havethe I have the highest I can use
strength. I can use my strength modifier.
Well, no, I can't for I guess I can't for attack rolls.

(32:28):
I don't think my strength. Modifier for attack rolls.
You can't do like the help. Action for an attack roll.
So I don't think that that will work.
It sort of makes sense with thisscenario, but I'll say no for
that. Yeah, if you.
Guys had any sort of bonus you could do?
You could, but this is kind of his shot I think to make here.
He's let me. Check.

(32:49):
One thing I did provide him withthe bonus of Valhalla, he gets
one time per hour advantage on an attack using Dexterity.
So this is because this is a ranged attack.
Is it a Dexterity based attack? Yeah, he'll use it against.
He gets advantage on it. Should I shout another?

(33:11):
Inspiration through the water I.Think he's he's too far away at
this point. Even my.
Frogmouth my stomach, mouth. Yeah, your stomach.
Butt forgot about your stomach mouth.
Never forget how. Far what?
Is your bardic range I guess? Is it 120 or something?
Oh, there's no way it's. That no, I think it's probably
like 60 feet at the most, maybe even 30.

(33:33):
Lad's still. Here, lad's sitting.
It's too far. We'll.
See, it's so far, it's fine. Damn, can I?
Muffle this firing mechanism. Oh.
That's a great fucking play because all weapon systems and
all avoidance systems underwaterwork on sound I.

(33:54):
Most I would give it advantage on the attack I think, but it's
already got it, which it alreadyhas that's.
Fine, but that's great. That's like that's that's really
smart. If if Ben didn't already have
have advantage, I would have argued very heavily in in favor
of him getting advantage becauseof that.
That's dope as hell. OK.
King. He needs a 12 or higher on this

(34:16):
roll to get it. Another Tavern roll.
OK. Great, we rolled the Tavern roll
and it was an 18. That boy, Ben.
Ben fires. The torpedo and it goes straight
towards the prison submarine andhits right where he's supposed

(34:36):
to hit, which is just this nondescript area of the of the
submarine. No, like identifying factors
other than like this, you know, kind of like square of metal
that looks a little bit different than around it hits
the buoyancy sensors and the lights just bright lights come
on on the submarine and this this like warning light kind of
starts to flash and you see the submarine start to rise in the

(35:00):
water. M Tiro The mutants around you
start to hum and the sound spreads backwards up through The
Cave as more and more mutants are starting to hum, kind of
transferring this signal, this physical signal, the sound
starts to rush through The Cave systems.
Nambi and Hugh, you 2 are waiting with your troops in a

(35:20):
cave just below the street, and the mutants start to hum around
you and it's the signal to startthe attack ahead of the troops.
6 huge mutants to type with the multiple arms and heads, raise
their arms up, gripping pipes and wires and other parts of the
underside of the street and grabit and then look toward you,
Hugh for the signal. Yeah, I look at Namby and pull

(35:51):
out Bone Crusher. I can long jump 55 feet so I
think I just bound forward and bare my fangs as and run
forward. You do that.
And the mutants. Just that, that hum just stops
for a second as you waiting for you to do that.

(36:12):
You leap forward, bare your fangs, a roar of inspiration and
the mutants just attack. They just go straight forward.
The giant mutants pull down the street and there's this huge
gaping hole. The light streams in this light
at dawn, just streams in into this cavern and rushes back,
exposing like you know, hundredsof mutants behind you as you

(36:33):
charge out onto the street you. Charge out onto.
The street and you see a battalion of machines awaiting
your exit from the caves, many squid like sentries on the
ground arranged in ranks with larger 2 legged walkers kind of
scattered around the street in these ranks.

(36:54):
And you just see this like blanket of red glowing eyes
glaring right at you and the rest of the mutants.
And the mutant force rushes forward, crashes into those
machines and the battlefield battlefield becomes chaos.
NAMB as soon as Hugh gave that signal, all the flying mutants
around you fly out of the hole straight up into the sky and

(37:15):
they are met in the sky by this like swarm of flying sentries,
these squid like machines that can fly.
And a squadron of them crash into the mutants in the air,
attacking with their tentacled arms.
And you see a few helicopters start to fly in and swarms of
mutants fly to it in to attack those helicopters and latch onto
them and try and take them down as the helicopters are just

(37:37):
firing off bullets all the way around.
And tyro the prison submarine starts to slowly rise in the
water and alarm lights are flashing.
A stream of swimming mutants flows out of The Cave system
obscuring the entire area aroundyou, carrying you upward until
the surface of the water becomesclear.
And you see on the surface of the water, you see undersides of

(37:59):
boats and mutants breaking off into grooves, swimming toward
these boats, like ravaging them,starting to ravage them from the
undersides. You Crest above the water and
you see mutants crashing againstthe machines and the air abuzz
with machines, and mutants locked into dogfights and savage
attacks against larger helicopters.

(38:20):
And on the surface of the water,you see patrol boats with large
red eyes motoring around the surface, firing their machine
guns into the water. Everyone, the great mutant
battle of New Lisbon City has begun.
Everybody take a deep breath. The prison submarine.
Is rising and Emtero. You don't see Ben's sub yet.

(38:43):
Hugh, Namby and Emtero, the battle has become for you.
You find yourselves very capablein your swarm forms.
Tell me how the battle begins for you.
Describe how your characters start fighting off of the off
these AI. What it looks like for a few
rounds as this massive battle begins around you.

(39:03):
Matter what order. I guess Hugh would immediately
summon his his hologram echoes. Can I roll on that Kyle, with
the what we had talked about with the table?
OK. We may actually get.
Our wish. So.

(39:25):
I just rolled #68 which is Brad the halfling from Gladiators.
Oh. Yeah.
It's amazing. One of the.
The winner of Gladiators, it wasa Brad or Lee, I can't remember
it was. Lee.
I think that one, yeah. But in the swarm form, what we

(39:49):
actually see is instead of just one hologram coming out, all of
the gladiator holograms come outand fill the area as all of the
different characters. I'm going to say that they they
peer in there like towards the end of the battle when they're
getting brought back, spoilers brought back again and again to

(40:11):
fight. And they're all bandaged and
kind of like broken up and a little a little crazed looking
ready for another fight. And yeah, Hugh is going to just,
I think, start off with just hammering through as many of the
AI robots as possible, just withown Crusher pushing forward with

(40:33):
it. That's amazing.
You just find yourself surrounded by the entire the.
The entire. Cast of the story, you know, all
the characters from Gladiators just just surround you and start
attacking. You see the older druid Clay's
character, you know, turn into an octopus around you and just
start wailing on, on, on these sentries, kind of matching their

(40:58):
forms with all of his different arms and appendages.
You see, you see this Western guy standing up with a gun.
He takes out a gun from his hip and just starts firing.
And he's got this other, you know, cannon.
I think he had Mavis is of course, the Marquis, but he had
something where he was firing off multiple cannons all in

(41:21):
melee, of course. This just makes sense.
And then you just see all of these characters, the rest of
them, you see this like Stony hand crawl up on one of the AI
sentries and like squeeze and like grip and like try and like
get inside and like RIP away part of the AI sentry.
I do want to say the. Wish the wish Gorged warrior is

(41:43):
on the table, so they're there too.
Terrifying the wishcode. Warrior comes out and even the
mutants are a bit afraid for a second.
What was this And you're just. Wailing on these these sentries,
you know these attacks entries, they're they're not hard,
they're not easy to defeat, but you and your swarm form, it's it

(42:08):
and surrounded by all the mutants at this point crashing
into this chaos, the battle all seems like things are going well
for the first few rounds here. Namby.
Imperial, What does it look likefor you?
I can go if you. Would like Namby or you can go.
I think Imtero's looking around at all these boats in the water
and he is. He's firing off inspirations

(42:30):
probably to like the hordes of mutants and he also is whatever
the smallest boats are. He is going to use his
performance of creation to make 3 gigantic old timey anchors on
those boats to try to force themto sink down into the water.
That's excellent. You can see you spawn some of

(42:52):
these anchors and it like startsto drag the boat like goes and
then just like catches, you know, because it like the anchor
drops and catches something on the ground on the bottom of the
floor and just like backs up in the mutants like swarm and push
it all the way over and one of these patrol boats just flip and
then once. That's done.
I'd probably burn a spell slot to create like icebergs in the

(43:13):
water. 10 by 10 icebergs to disrupt the area for the boats
too, if I could do that. That's excellent.
Yeah. So you have like a bunch of
icebergs that kind of you what? How many can you do?
I mean, it'd be the same thing. Where I can just create three of
them. This would essentially be I can
do performance of creation again, but I have to burn like a
third level spell slot to do it each time that I do it

(43:35):
basically. So I'd be getting rid of these
anchors now and creating these things to sort of disrupt the
area. Cool.
Yeah, a big iceberg kind of floats by nearby you.
If you wanted to use that as a platform to stand on, you could.
But yes, a few of these platforms kind of rise out of
the water. And one floats up just as one of

(43:59):
the boats, like, is like speeding away and around, like
firing one of its guns. And just, like, ramps off of the
ice and just lands in the water sideways and has trouble getting
up. And the mutants again, swarm it
and just, like, take it out. I love the idea of you.
Standing in an iceberg doing this, That's awesome.

(44:19):
It's really. Not Emtero's vibe to be in the
water and ice, but you know whenyou work with the.
Say that that ice. Around his feet, steadily
melting away, there's. Just.
I do want to say. MTR right now while he's doing
all there's just like smoke pouring out of his gills and his
stomach mouth casting all this fire magic and shit.

(44:40):
Yes, this will defend on the. Stomach, mouth thing, you have a
lot of them. A lot of your swarm has that
same like mouth, you know, they have some something like that.
We got a big tongue in there. We can use to attack, so
hopefully they're like really frog tongue in some bad guys.
Oh yes. Absolutely.
As as anything gets close, they're like whipping out to

(45:03):
like make to kind of like protect you and like, yeah,
yeah, to, to like do some damage.
You have this slapping. Thing around here.
Just tongues flying everywhere. It's weird.
It's great. Namby.
You have a, you have a choice that you can make.
You are on the street. You see that a lot of the flying

(45:23):
mutants above you have have likegone straight up and you can see
that there are helicopters up there.
There are flying sentries up there, a lot of the flying
mutants up there. You see Hue attacking more on
the ground. There are some mutants in
flight, you know, near the street.
But basically there's there's three areas in this space.

(45:44):
There's a street area, there's asky area and then there's a
water area where Emtero is. And so you can kind of choose
which area you want to go in thebeginning of this battle that
started off for you I think to. Start off, she'll go up into the
sky with with her fellow winged mutants to keep like she wants

(46:09):
to use her extra extra eye on her wing to just keep an eye on
everything and just keep it likejust keep an eye on Hugh.
I don't know if I can see Emtero.
You be able? Yeah, with.
That, that, yeah, that eye givesyou, and you already had great
perception, but I think that gives you advantage on any
perception checks as well. So just using that, it's like a

(46:32):
telescope on your wing that you're able to just rotate
around and kind of see the entire battlefield and see how
things are are going. Yeah, 'cause I want to.
Keep an eye and make sure I can dip in and and help if I need
to. But I think she would just cast
her spiritual weapon and just try and use her mobility with

(46:52):
this extra flight speed to kind of just like pop in and out as
she can to try and like break upthe swarms.
If of of the machines. If she can do that to kind of
like spread them out and make iteasier for like the swarms to
then like swarm on like more of a singular creature.

(47:15):
I don't know if Spirit guardianswill.
Be enhanced with. The swarm, But if it would be,
then I guess she would cast thattoo, just to kind of like create
like a bright light that can kind of help her be distraction
and hopefully deal some damage. Great.
Yeah. So you cast your spiritual

(47:36):
weapon, you know, this, this, this golden sword of soul that
you can summon. And all of your mutants have
this sword in their hands as well as you cast that spell.
And you're able to fly in and see like a helicopter that is
being attacked by mutants and see some AI sentries kind of
flying in these tentacled sentries to come and help.
And you just like intersect themin the middle of their like,

(47:59):
swarm. They're like their swarm
themselves. And your swarm just clashes with
them and and like cuts it in half and spreads them out and
causes more chaos, allowing someof the mutants who are not
really in forms, they're just flying around just trying to
find enemies. They're able to go one-on-one
with a lot of these AI sentries and really cause a lot of
disruption there. And then you just have this

(48:19):
glowing orb around you, Hugh. You look up and see Namby up
high in the sky, this glowing orb like look like flying around
at a pretty rapid speed as she'staking out a lot of these
sentries like a beautiful. UFO.
She's the. Sun.
Incarnate MTRL. The water starts to vibrate and

(48:43):
you see the massive prison submarine rising up in the water
fairly close and it crests abovethe surface.
You see Ben's submarine form nearby the sub, as well as a
large, like huge size octopod submersible swimming AI vehicle,

(49:04):
huge kind of swarming swimming around the sub as like a
defender of it. And you see it crawl on top of
the sub and kind of on top of the prison sub, looking around,
scanning around, looking for enemies.
You, your mutant forces continueto tack the AI and this
battlefield is chaos. AI machines being ripped apart

(49:26):
by mutants, mutants falling around you as well.
Both sides seemingly having unlimited resources as the
mutants are flowing in. So are the AI sentries coming in
from the from the city. Right as you swing at one AI it
it's red eye looks at you and ittwists and seemingly recognizes
you and flashes and all the AI around you flash the red eyes

(49:47):
signaling to something, and thenyou hear the sound of something
massive. From the center of the AI ranks
a huge tank with six legs rises up, two large claws, a few
different sized cannons attachedto its head, and a large
singular red eye that just locksdirectly onto you.
Hugh Roll Initiative. OK.

(50:10):
And it's time to. Debut on.
This red. Eye that that exactly gave me a
long time ago. Red ooze.
Die my red. Ooze die.
It does get advantage on initiative.
Oh boy, I do. Sue.
Was it a Viper role? Let's hope.

(50:31):
A Kyle or a. Viper role?
It was Becca role. Oh.
No, Hugh. What was your initiative role?
Got a? 19 oh it.
Hit a gnat 20. I know I.
Figured, but as soon as you saidBecca rolls like there's only
one roll that's. A Becca roll.

(50:51):
That's right. And that was like.
Really good for me too because Ionly have a + 1 to initiatives
and so I rolled an 18 on my die.Kyle's stealing the rolls.
How about? You let me roll for the the
enemies. Yeah, I.
Think so. Also, how dare you crit on me
with the dice that I bequeathed unto you on for Christmas?
The. First one the.

(51:12):
First roll. Very first.
Roll. Amazing.
To be fair it was. I rolled 2 dice and it wasn't
the one that you that you didn't.
The the. First roll for mine was a for
the red ooze dice was a 13, so lucky number. 13 It was the
advantage. Dice that got you.
So all right, I'll take that. Hugh, you are.

(51:35):
Locked in as this giant like crab like looking tank AI glares
at you with this red eye and just charges forward with its
six legs. Charges forward and then stops
about 10 feet from you and then turns its head around and turns
head to the side and there is a big cannon looking thing and you

(51:56):
just see fire. Just spray out from that cannon
and you need to make a dexteritysaving throw, infamously.
He was best at. That's an 18.
At 18. DC was 17 on that.
And so. The fire just blasts out on you,

(52:18):
and like the mutants around you,you take half of 46 damage of
fire damage, 23 as this fire just sprays.
You see mutants around you starting to burn and it turns
its head around and then swings one of its claws at you for a 29

(52:41):
to hit. Yep, and that will be 22 points
of piercing damage as it slashes.
Kind of tries to like pinch at you and that's halved.
Right. Yep, that would be.
Halved to 11. Yeah, yeah.
Because I've swarmed. 4 Thank you.
Second one is only a 16 to hit miss.

(53:01):
Misses. The swings 1 claw the the top of
it just keeps rotating and the other claw tries to swing around
and pinch at you and just whiffs, goes right over your
head and that is it's turn. It's about 10 feet from you as
you get hit by the pincher attack as it as it hits you, you

(53:26):
gashes you kind of across the arm and then hits a few of your
swarm as well. And you see the blood kind of
trickle down your arm and hit Bone Crusher.
And as it hits Bone Crusher, Bone Crusher gets really cold in
your hand and you now have AD six extra cold damage that you
can do with your attacks. That's.

(53:50):
So. Cool.
OK, an extra. D6 with Bone Crusher, OK?
Of cold and is. That tripled.
While in the swarm form. Yeah, I.
Think it is. Yes, it is.
And. You feel that coldness in your
hand and and the all the mutantsaround you see their appendages

(54:13):
just kind of like their arms andand legs.
Anything they were going to use to attack just get this like
frost appearance on their hands.So cool.
Yeah, I think like Hugh has causes in that moment after
taking a considerable amount of damage and just like feels the
change in Bone Crusher and you wouldn't under Becca

(54:35):
understands, but Hugh does not understand.
I think. But he, like, also knows.
You look at the rune, you look at the rune on the Bone Crusher,
and the rune that was inscribed as family like glows slightly
and as you look down a bone BoneCrusher.
This bend biofuels, Yeah, that. Was one of That was one of.

(54:58):
The ruins, I think, wasn't it? Yeah.
It's. Actually sponsored by Olive
Garden. The only business.
You in your. Family, the only business.
That survived the AI revolution.And it's breadsticks.
Hugh sees that rune kind of light up and he just kind of

(55:19):
like clicks at him where like hespent his whole entire life
trying to make himself softer and smaller so that he is more
palatable to other people aroundhim.
It never like really worked. And.
But he just wanted, he just kepttrying so hard to kind of deny a

(55:41):
part of him. That.
River was always just so much better about celebrating.
And he looks around. That.
The mutants around him that. Celebrated.
What he was and he just is really tired of making himself

(56:02):
smaller and quieter and softer for other people's comfort and.
So he. Sends.
We're going to say he's going tosend the wish gorged warrior 215
feet up in the air above this crab and then switches places
with it and falls down and does uses his hydraulic leg reaction

(56:27):
to to translate the damage hopefully into this crab below
him. As you switch places with your
echo and this is to discuss rules is written just quickly.
This is working because you're you're people are you're like
holograms in this world. So you can send them far away,

(56:48):
but rules are as written as you can create them and move them
like 15 feet I think or 30 feet on your turn.
But because you're your holograms self, their holograms
in this world, you can send themthat far.
So so this this this is working,but just to comment on what the
actual rules are for Echo Knightso.
The leg attack on the reaction as I land on it before you land.

(57:13):
So you switch places and you're up in the sky above the
battlefield and you see 3 helicopters sitting up there
waiting for you and they use their held action to do 3
attacks on you with machine guns.
They knew you were going to. Do it first one.

(57:35):
'S an 11 to hit. Second one is.
A 19 to hit hit. Just 11.
Points of piercing damage on the2nd 1/2 to five.
Half to five. Yep.
Third one was only a 12 to hit. Mess.
Becca, you're supposed. To you're supposed to put your
magic in this dye. That's the sound she actually.

(58:01):
Rolled it until she just got ones in it.
Like. Like I said, it's the opposite
of her ritual. First ritual.
She blew. All the ones into that one.
So this will be a point. Yeah, but you see.
These helicopters like locked onto you as you switch and just
realize that they were waiting for this and they just start
firing these bullets into you and you only get hit, you know,
by by one of them and then you drop down and let's see let's

(58:28):
give us that that attack roll right?
Uh huh. Yeah, this is like the part of
the reaction is the attack roll.Now 20.
Is it that? The God is real.
The God does. Not miss.
Does not. Miss.

(58:49):
I'm numb to it. I'm numb to it not.
Miss take a picture. Of it, Kyle.
Gave it 10. 1000 HP with this. I called, it does not miss.
Yeah. Yeah, that's amazing.
Oh my gosh. Well, I, yeah.
I. Have a picture of that little
back? Boy, unreal.

(59:12):
So what did we decide here? We said that it was 20D6, but
tripled because you're in the swarm form, right?
And then doubled with the crit damage so that 120D6.
Yeah. And then and then also also I
have, I would normally also do AA1D8 of of damage with like the

(59:34):
actual leg attack, but then that's three D8 which becomes an
additional 6D8 too. Excellent.
Excellent. Plus the ice damage, right?
We need our residents. That'll excellent though.
That's. Crusher.
Yeah. Bone.
Crusher. We need our resident.
Bilatro expert Scott to do all the multiplication here.
Yeah, I'm ready. Where the what?

(59:55):
Do they do? Like to see the?
Numbers go bigger and bigger when the most writers come in.
It does. We're actually gonna take a 20.
Minute break as she rolls 11 at a.
Time one at one at a time. We're gonna do them all as
Tavern. Rolls, Kyle, go grab everything.
That's right, kids, go. Through.
Yeah, that's right. That would be.
Amazing. Just just throw it on.
The Benny Hill soundtrack and and speed it up like four or

(01:00:17):
five times as we see him roll all through.
So does anyone want? To take a guess, high, low like
we did last time. I mean I.
Can't even fathom. It's whole lot.
I'm going. To say. 420 plays.
It OK. I.
Was going to guess. 4000 OK, I was going to.
Say mine's God's actually prettyclose.

(01:00:39):
I was going to say. 380. Well, if you said it was.
Between 4:20 and 400, then I'm going to say 410.
I'm. Going to say 5. 100 because it's
Becca four O 9. Because she's cleaning up the
battlefield. Oh wow.
Yeah, I. Like it?

(01:00:59):
444 damage. So that's for my.
Reaction and then I've used my action.
And my. Action, but I'm Here's the.
Thing use that you plummet down from the sky with your swarm
with you. You know, you teleported up
there along with your swarm, allthese beefy big legs and just it

(01:01:25):
is like brick and Arrowhead of of of beings that just it's like
hell. Down.
Yeah, it's like hell down there's.
There's. Wind, there's fire.
I don't know why there's fire. Some of them were on fire
because they got hit by the I shot some fire up.
At there because it looks. Cool the you see the.

(01:01:45):
The the the crab AI tanked look up and it just Wham and it is
just just decimated. There's smoke everywhere, steam
it takes out. The the the.
Walker completely, I mean doubleS the damage on what it even had
on its HP and just decimates, decimates it and there's a huge

(01:02:07):
crater where you're at, it starts to sink down.
You're able to get up on solid ground and there are not even AI
within your 10 feet reach at this point because it just
created this massive crater thatjust took out this circle of of
centuries. Oh, Salvador.
Oh, Salvador, Oh. Superhero landing.

(01:02:29):
Did that use your movement? Only half of it, OK.
When I switch well. Actually it's only I don't know
if it's actually half anywhere. Let me read real fast just
because my movement went up withmy legs.
I think it is. I can't remember 15 feet.
Of your movement, specifically when you swap as an echo knight,
which is obviously more 15 half.Yeah.

(01:02:51):
It is. That's.
That's crazy if it's static, if not just half of movement, yeah.
OK, so I still. Have 30.
Feet of. Movement then 'cause I have 45
feet of movement with my legs, that sounds.
Weird. Hydraulic legs I really need to
add. Wait, how much?
How much movement do you have with your?
Hands, yeah. So I have 30.
Feet of movement that I can take.

(01:03:12):
OK. Because you look and you can see
some AI sentries around that youcan use those attacks on the
that would be close, close enough where you would be able
to charge forward with some moremutants.
As this like surge of attack happens, you see that their eyes
flash and you do see about 100 feet away, like coming out from

(01:03:34):
the side of one of the buildings, a large just classic
tank with a huge cannon on it about 100 feet away from you,
kind of turning the corner and looking your direction.
OK. I'm just going to use my
remaining movement then to move directly towards that.
Play a chicken with a with a tank.
So I'm just going to move 30 feet towards just barreling down

(01:03:59):
the well. Actually, I'll move 55 feet.
I'll use my long jump, which only takes half of my action.
No, no, no, wait, half of my current moment.
So yeah, I'll move 55 feet towards it with just a long jump
directly at it. So you moved 55 feet toward it,
is what you said. Yep, I was just trying to figure

(01:04:22):
out. Yeah, if you could get to it, as
I was confused for that. No, I think it's 100.
Right away from me, yes, it's 100 feet.
I'm. Very much regretting not giving
Hugh a couple of drugs before all of this started.
I wouldn't have let you give. My good, my good boy Hugh.
Any drugs anymore? Listen, you don't know Hugh.
Anymore, OK, Hugh has grown. Hugh has expanded his world.

(01:04:47):
Hugh has to go. Back to his cozy little cottage
life or something after this. OK, I can't have him be.
Addicted. To future drugs.
It rolled, it rolled poorly on its initiative.
So you will be going first next time we come around to you.
But it is not, oh, the new tank.I got you.
OK, The new tank. Emtero floating on the surface

(01:05:08):
of the water. You see the prison sub floating
there, Ben's submarine near it, and the Octopod submersible on
top of the of the submarine. You see it lock on to Ben's sub,
and your attention is drawn to something else, something
strange. A wave of movement heads your
way, something massive. Just beneath the surface of the

(01:05:29):
water, a gargantuan vehicle rises up, which can only be
described as a floating tank with a huge rail gun on top and
a single red eye staring straight at you and Tyrol Roll
Initiative Dick. Let's.
Get railed. Oh.
Nat. 20 on my initiative, so 24 and.

(01:05:50):
Keep. This more baby.
Wow. And Tyra.
You go 1st and roll the 20 all right?
Yay, going. First on this.
The big ass. Tank.
Yeah, I'm not exactly. Sure what the fucking deer is
going to do against the tank, Just just do. 444 damage to it.
Oh yeah, easy. That's right.
Yeah, just just do. That.

(01:06:15):
All right, so. It's just my turn and there's a
giant tank in front of me. Giant tank.
Barreling your way, Yes. OK.
Barreling my way and that tank is not classified as any sort of
creature. The.
Rules bend a little bit when it's an AI in charge of it, but
it would be. I guess it depends.
I don't know is it susceptible. To dissonant whispers.

(01:06:38):
Yeah, because this is going to screw.
This is going to screw with. This is going to screw with.
It's with its thinking process, it's connection to Hee Hachi,
it's going to screw with it. So yeah.
Instead of doing that. Right now, now, fucking I am
going to do that. I am going to cast.
I'll do the other thing next turn.
I am going to cast Dissonant Whispers at it, and I'm going to
cast that shit at third level because why not?

(01:07:02):
I think it's probably going to succeed anyway, but if I can get
more damage, then that's good. So Interior sees it coming
toward him, and yeah, that's smoke that's pouring out of his
gills and his mouth and his stomach mouth just starts to
really like, coalesce around hisfeet as he whispers.
Just, you know, you're disgusting, despicable AI.
You robbed these people of everything.

(01:07:23):
And shoots out a big smoky wave of tendrils at it.
And it has to make a Wisdom saving throw the the.
Mutants around you like garble and whisper in the same way.
It's just this huge like that. Just like exudes from you and
from the iceberg, you have some fucking smoke.
On the water right now playing. What was the saving?

(01:07:44):
Throw. It's a wisdom.
Saving throw of 15, so I feel like it's probably going to
succeed. It did succeed.
But it will still. Take half damage on that which
it's normally 5D6, so triple that.
I guess it won't be a Becca fucking roll, but so.
15-D615-D6. Halved.
Yeah, you just roll this and D&DBeyond.

(01:08:07):
I don't have time for this. That's all I've.
Seen a lot of sixes and fives and fours.
That's pretty good. 57 damage, half of 57 so.
The hell is that? 28, Yeah, OK.
You just see it like the light, that red like eye just like
flickers for a second. It's still barreling forward

(01:08:27):
towards you but you can see it like has a, you know, small
hitch and it's movement even as those whispers hit it.
Anything else for your turn? It's headed toward the iceberg
that like I'm on right now, Right?
OK. And how far away am I from the
submarine people? You're pretty close.
Pretty, yeah. So the the movement in this area

(01:08:51):
is not so restrictive, but you look out and you're within 60
feet really of of that area of like the bend biofuel sub.
Yeah. OK, can I?
Just face step onto that over tothat sub since I have face step
now as a bonus action since my movements already like expanded.

(01:09:13):
Are you trying? To draw its fire onto US right
now. The rage is trying to get out of
its. Way thinking of it like a bowl,
but I guess this is just realityso it's going to a rail gun
that. Is aimed at you.
It's a rail gun that's aimed gun, Yeah, like all.
Right, well then I just. Fucking just.
Face stuff down into. The water I.

(01:09:35):
Can breathe underwater. Anyway, just go straight down,
like 60 feet down sick. OK.
So you. Submerge down into the water.
He's consulting. His notes gas I prefer.
That to you, guiding this giant rail gun to the people that have

(01:09:58):
to infiltrate the sub, well, I want you.
Guys to help me kill the thing. I'm not going to solo this to
you first of all. Well, there's there's.
Still a separate entity the the big octopus AI, right?
We. Got our own.
Problems so the. The fortress moves toward toward

(01:10:19):
you and submerges into the water, and it can't use its rail
gun, but it does have two other torpedo guns.
Good job, Scott. Cannons that it can.
Use and so it is going to fire on you.
The first one is a 29 to hit yeah.

(01:10:41):
Going. 20 nines against us, man without not. 20 which is wild
stuff, yeah. 14 points of piercing, which is down to 7
seven for you, and then the second one is that 16 to hit.
Yeah, you're going to. Hit him too, basically every

(01:11:02):
time. My age is 13.
Oh squishy boy. 20. 2 down to 11points of piercing damage for
you all right all right that's. Fine.
And then it. Has a, it has a third attack.
It came out like that's got. 3. It hits with another 29, so.
What is up with? This.
This is not very Kyle. This is 20. 5 down to 12.

(01:11:25):
How do they keep all just? Getting higher too.
I don't really appreciate that there's a lot of nineteens.
Getting rolled over there and I'm not appreciative of it.
This. Stuff is like.
Happening like outside of a. Reasonable.
Range of us, right, are we? Have we?
Surfaced within biofuel. Can we witness this happening?
Yes. Now I wonder.
What happened? Yep.

(01:11:45):
So you I guess. Some of it, some of it was above
water, some of it was Yep, you're witnessing.
This happened. So if you had a reaction that
you could use or something to that nature at this point you
could. But it's he's he's in kind of a
separate initiative than you guys are.
OK, So it's not so only. Reactions are acceptable, OK.

(01:12:07):
Sorry if it's not. Your turn.
Anything outside of your turn. You could help him, but I'm not.
Concerned at all guys. Say.
Viper, keep your powder dry. Can't even do my.
Good turns yet? Yeah.
Namby. You fly above the mutant forces
below and you see you engaged ina fight and he crests the sky

(01:12:29):
above you and smashes down on this crab tank and explodes.
You. Yeah, you look to the water and
see the submarine sitting on topof the surface, and we're able
to see Mtero kind of slink away from this massive tank that is
floating on the surface of the water.
And you see the submarine crew nearby with the Octopod on top

(01:12:51):
of the prison submarine. And then you hear a sound above
you in this gargantuan plane with two large fans embedded in
its wings, descends from the clouds above.
A single red eye in the front ofthe plane looking at you.
Namby roll initiative. OK.

(01:13:11):
Come on, namby. I don't believe it's coming.
Oh, that looked good. You look like you did really
good. It looks.
Really good. Very, very and.
We confident about that look, wedecided.
That or we ended up with that. Hugh cannot teleport up with the
emboldening bond, that protection feature while he's on

(01:13:33):
the land and you're in the air. Correct.
Yeah. Yeah.
While being on separate look kind of on the same level.
Levels, yeah. So you are in the in the sky,
right? So what'd you roll?
I rolled. In 11 oh, it rolled a. 13 so
just barely beat you. I have.
A + 5 I never rolled tell I should have given.

(01:13:57):
All of you drugs. I should have given all of you
drugs. All of you should have taken
drugs. Namby the this kind of vertical
take off and landing, you know this this like plane that has
these fans on its wings flies atyou and it is going to shoot a
few missiles. Question.

(01:14:17):
Did it? Did it start it's turn in my
spirit guardians? It did.
It did not. It's still fairly far away from
you. Yeah, it has.
All right. I just figured I.
Know 15 feet of. You I think, right?
Yeah. So it's not what I do right now.
Fires with two missiles the. First one.
Is a 20 to hit? Yeah. 18 points of piercing

(01:14:43):
damage down to 9 for you plus. Plus I don't like.
That 10 points of. Thunder damage will be 10 points
of Thunder damage as it boom hits you.
It's part of your swarm and takes out a few of the mutants.
That's the first missile attack.The second one was a Nat 20.

(01:15:05):
I knew that's what that. Face was for I knew it.
And so the piercing damage on that, the Nat 20 who only 16
down to 8 for you piercing damage.
And then the. Critical Thunder damage is 15.
And then it. Flies past you and it moves past

(01:15:26):
you. It doesn't get in range of your
of your of of your spirit guardians.
But it's fly speed is. Pretty ridiculous.
And it flies down toward the mutants on the ground down to
where Hugh is. And you see you, you can hear
this thing coming. It's big like plane coming.

(01:15:47):
And you see it just drop a couple canisters from its, from
its kind of belly drops, a couple canisters which hit the
ground. And then this tidal wave of fire
just whoosh, just spreads. And just like, like, like a like
a tsunami of fire just hits and and goes against you and the
mutants, this napalm that this, this plane is down.

(01:16:15):
It's a Dexter. It's.
A saving throw. So this is a saving throw that
you have to make you next one. Yep, this is my one of my lowest
at. Hey, how she ain't.
Playing around. Yeah, she's.
Pissed it's another 18 so I don't know if it's the same save
19. He did that on purpose.

(01:16:39):
I should make. Him.
Say it first. Next.
And so you fail on this. And you take 24 points of fire
damage, and on the beginning of all of your turns for the next
minute, you will take 3D6 fire damage as this napalm is on you.

(01:17:02):
Yeah, I love the fire damage. Blocking my.
Regeneration. Feature.
That's cool, cool, cool, cool. I was like the person who
designed this knew this and thatis.
The. Ship's turn the.
The the plane's turn. Namby, you can get to it, you
know you have a ridiculous fly speed as well, but what would

(01:17:26):
you like to do? OK.
Is this ship an AI? Like one AI?
I'm not sure that you. Know that, but if it's you're
saying if. This is like is this.
Ship an individual or is this right?
Like if a spell? If a spell.

(01:17:46):
Were to target like a creature which spell is it thinking
command that yeah, that could work on this Yeah, OK.
Is there anything directly? Below.
It the it's now. Over the battlefield and.
So if it fell straight down, it would it would hit mutants and

(01:18:07):
it would hit hit AI as well? I don't love that.
Did you have it go straight? Into a building, yeah, but I
don't know what. One word.
Dash, what about flea? I guess flea, flea.
Works. Might be a good.
Idea target must. Succeed with some save.
Or follow the command on its next turn.

(01:18:28):
So it it just burns one turn forit essentially, I think is how
that spell works. I think that's still pretty
worth it though. Yeah, I'm going.
To fly down. And join it and I'm going to
cast command. So that is a wisdom save 15 it.

(01:18:53):
Fails, yeah. It.
Fails and I point far. Away, OK.
And it has to do that on its. Next turn, cool slap.
In the base. It is.
Now. Yeah, in your space, right.
You're right next to it. Yeah, I guess so.

(01:19:14):
Cool. I mean, I have a range of 60
feet, so I don't necessarily. Have to get.
Right next to it. I probably want to be by Hugh
honestly, if I can. If they're nearby each other.
I just got napalmed so I can't. Maybe don't because they seem to
be real. Mad at me?
Well, I can still. Fly near you and.
Not be in the napalm, OK. So you fly down toward Hugh.

(01:19:40):
It does get to use a legendary reaction or legendary action
after your turn because technically it's turned yet, so
it's going to use. Another.
Rotary cannon attack or use a Rotary Rotary attack one of its
machine guns to hit you. OK, I.
I guess I do want to stay by it.Because then.
Technically it would start its. Next turn in my spirit

(01:20:02):
guardians. So I wanted, I want to do that
so that it takes my damage OK, the 24 to hit.
That. Yeah, you have to make
concentration. Checks on all these two Oh.
Yeah, Fairpoint make those I. Thought about that before I.
Rolled down SO. That's been what I thought about

(01:20:23):
it before I thought. So.
It's only been like two hits. Right, I think you only got hit
twice 3 now. This will be you got hit by the.
Missiles and this will be the three, so let's roll. 3
concentration checks please. Kyle, are you tripling your?
Damage. Roll too, because then wouldn't
that like making concentration effects be like almost
impossible to? I'm not tripling any.

(01:20:44):
Oh OK, 'cause I know like we. Were tripling R so I didn't know
if you were. Also doing that, yeah, there's
these aren't swarm monsters. Got you.
OK, I'm not. Luckily.
All of the AI. Despite the fact that they are.
Acting together are acting independently, Yeah.
Oh, OK. I think maybe I did.
It. I rolled A19A16 and A-17.

(01:21:08):
Yeah, that'll do it. I don't that didn't do more
than. Damn, I don't think anyone hit
the the crit. 15 the crit was. 15.
Plus. Eight.
Yeah, but those were two. It's one.
Hit are those two roll one hit but. 2 like.
Yeah, yeah. How's that I think?
It's a damage type, I would count it.
As but 15 + 8. Would be like 23.

(01:21:30):
You still cleared that? Yeah, I still cleared it, Yeah.
Cool, so you're still? Concentrating.
That was 15 down. To seven points of piercing
damage from its Rotary cannon onits legendary action.
OK. Anything.
Else. For your turn, I think that's.
It Yeah. So you did that after it?

(01:21:50):
Oh, I still. Have my spiritual.
Weapon up. Oh yeah, you got your bonus
action. Yeah, slam it into it.
That's only a 13 to hit. 13 doesnot hit, never mind.
That's my turn. Spiritual weapon.
You try to hit it. In whiffs and some of the your
mutant friends come in and just try and stab at it and they
can't get in through the whole of this giant ship this giant

(01:22:12):
plane submarine crew. Ben drives a submarine to the
top of the water flies out of the water and you guys are in on
the on the top of the water and he transforms and lands on top
of the prison submarine. You guys are all standing on top
of the prison submarine at this point, and you watch as the
octopod submersible like turns its head, it's big glaring red

(01:22:33):
eye directly at you. Behind it is the Hatch where you
need to get to. And you guys are distance away
from him, 25 feet away from thatgiant, this huge, massive
octopod submersible. All of you rule initiative.

(01:22:55):
Oh boy, I'm going to give. Viper Advantage.
Thank you Prayer initiative fromA. 4 Music.
Vigilant blessing. Much.
Appreciated. Kitty.
What'd you get, 20? 1/21.
And 22. 20. 2 OK. And lad, you also did great

(01:23:23):
right? Yeah, I got a whopping 7.
Paolo. You are up first.
So we've. Got Hatch 25 feet.
Away Giant Octopod Monster The octopod monster is 25 feet from
you the. Hatch is 40 feet the submarine
width just to get you a perspective. 510 fits into it.

(01:23:46):
25 feet across is reasonably what you can stand on, given the
fact that I can if I draw. My weapon, my Cortana the first
time and attack with it, Shove whatever I hit.
If I hit it 10 feet, could I push it off the submarine

(01:24:07):
surface and into the water? I don't.
It probably has to be a large size.
Or can you? Is that a there?
There's a if it's big enough. I mean, how tall is this thing?
It's huge. It's it's.
Probably wide It's got 8 it's got. 8 appendages.
You know 8. Tentacles, basically.
So I don't think that it's goingto be able to work for that.

(01:24:28):
No, that's fine. That's fine.
He's Paolo's. 63 He's not going to be big enough to to move this
thing in any meaningful fashion.That's fine.
So in that case, he's going to Sprint forward.
He's going to fire his micro SMGfrom the hip automatic, which

(01:24:52):
means he's going to fire a disadvantage, but he's going to
use his bonus. He's going to use his bonus
action to fire up a an ampule ofgrime which gives him.
An extra 1D4 to. Attack rolls for one minute and

(01:25:12):
one time during an hour period he can use get advantage on
attack rolls. He's going to negate the
automatic feature of his SMG, which means he gets to attack
instead of 2 * 3 times for one attack as he's approaching this
octopod machine. 19 for the first attack that will hit. 17

(01:25:40):
for the second. Attack.
Yep, that hits, and oh, Nat 20 all right, nice.
Nat 20 for the third attack, spraying out rounds.
He has an. Electro Mag.
He's got a shock mag plugged into his SMG, which has an

(01:26:01):
additional 1D4 damage per attackto.
Mechanical. Or electrical beings on the
first attack it's 12 damage. OK, the second is.
Another 11. Damage.
OK, so this is the this is the double damage here.

(01:26:23):
Give us that crit damage. So 20. 5.
No, sorry, 26 damage on that andyou're running up to it with
this SMG. Firing at it, that's what.
That's what happened there, yeah.
And what he's gonna try to do ishe's just gonna like he.
He slides the selector back. He lets it RIP as he's running
up. And as he's approaching it, he's

(01:26:46):
gonna try to get, like underneath it.
And because it's so large, he's not gonna get past it that he
knows he's not gonna like be able to get all the way past it
with his movement speed. But is he gonna try to get he's
gonna try to get as far underneath it and toward the
Hatch as he can try to turn its attention toward it.
So like, he's firing into the underbelly as he runs underneath

(01:27:07):
it. OK, sure.
Because it's got like an. Octopus thing up, I'll let you
be underneath it. And so so you fire it like puts
up one of its tentacles to like try and block some of the damage
and just like your bullets like sneak underneath it and hit it
right in the right in the face of this giant octopus AI and you
slide and you're underneath it and like fire up against it

(01:27:29):
underneath. And so that's that's one attack.
I get another. Oh, what?
So because of the it's it's. Automatic.
Fire plus an additional attack because of the SMG and I have
one more attack with the sword with with his Cortana.
He's he's got it across his backfiring up into it and he's gonna

(01:27:50):
like leap up and try to as he's die as he's like sliding
underneath it as it crashes down, gonna draw a sword and try
to drag it along the bottom of this to try to see if it can
divide the the metal along the base of it.
Oh dear, how's it 10? How's it 10 does not hit no,

(01:28:11):
you're you slide through and youjust.
Can't get enough force to cut. Through the metal.
Anything else for your turn? No, that's it.
OK, It looked really cool. Doing it, it looks sweet.
It just didn't get all the way there.
Sparks you like thematic Sparks came out.
Yeah, the back of this submarinehas this big, you know, tower.
Fin that comes off of it and yousee you all hear like a gun

(01:28:32):
click into place and it's going to use a legendary action and
one of it on its deck gun and I'm going to roll AD 4A1 is bend
2 is Paolo 3 is Viper 4 is lad on who it's going to shoot at.
And actually it's just going to be the three of you that are
back there because Paolo is underneath the octopod.
It's not going to try and shoot a Paolo, so it's going to be 1
of you. Can I have put on my mage armor?

(01:28:55):
Before. All this, yes.
There's no way you haven't. Yeah, yeah.
That's going to be. I just never spoke it.
So. Lad behind.
You, you feel. The you feel some bullets headed
your way from this deck gun thathas like a 21 AC, doesn't he?
Or something like that. Can I see this?
Can I silvery Barb that has an insane?

(01:29:15):
AC you can see this you can silvery.
Barbs it. It's getting silvery barbs if
it. Hits if it hits.
That is. A 24 to hit.
Silvery bar that does. And I give.
Advantage. To lad can.
I say this one. My lookout and that is a. 20 to

(01:29:37):
hit. That does not.
Hit it doesn't hit what? I'm.
Saying lads AC is crazy. 21 AC, PV and lads.
AC is it silver barbs? Hell yeah.
Oh man. Great.
Next up, Viper, you're up. All right.

(01:29:58):
Well, well, OK, well. I would like to use crash on the
octopod so that is as an action you can cause a creature you are
aware of in the same network as you or an AI controlled drone to
make an intelligent saving throw.
On a failed save the target creature or AI is ejected from

(01:30:20):
the network, drone or vehicle and cannot re enter it for 24
hours. So it's intelligent saving throw
14? Hell yeah this is fucking metal
as shit if you. Pull this off Viper.
It can't work anymore if. It fails, yeah, It just shuts
down. It went Paulo right underneath

(01:30:42):
it, so it's. Fine, it's fine.
He's fine. It's fine.
I'm. Very.
Strong. I'm very strong.
You got a. Lot of metal.
In you, you'll be fine with the power of Christ.
And drugs on his side, he can doit this.
Way OK, so it's an intelligent saving throw.
Yes. Do you know?
What, you're saying we're all asgood as me?
AIS aren't. Smart, right?
They're not right. Yeah.

(01:31:03):
Definitely not, and he doesn't. Get advantage on these types of
throws. Because of Fiachi garbage so so
we'll see he. Does that that was.
Me saying he does get advantage.On me.
He rolled off. Flat 17.
Damn. It was such a good idea.

(01:31:23):
And his other one was a gnat. One so you.
See it start. To affect him and like it's like
this, this like the red eye, just like flares.
And you can just tell that like it had some oversight and
overpowered it to like click into place and to stay where it
was. But it does get advantage on
those on saving throws like that.

(01:31:44):
How far away is that gun that popped up on the tower?
It's pretty far. It's like but then 60.
Feet of me it's like 80. Feet away, it's 80 feet back,
it's. The big prison submarine.
And that's like, you know, 3/4 of the way back from you.
So like, you can tell this thingis probably like 500 feet.
So I can move at least 20 feet. Towards it you could, yeah.

(01:32:09):
You could go backwards. On the submarine.
Lay the land wise, we are 40. Feet.
That's how you said away from the Hatch that we want to go
down and the octopus is in between US and that.
Yeah, you are. The Hatch is 40 feet from where
you're at. And you need, you want to get to
the Hatch so you can get in and the Octopod is right in front of
it. I'm just gonna.

(01:32:30):
Grab Viper on the shoulder and tell her not to move.
OK. I don't have anything else I can
do well. Just kidding, Just kidding.
I can put a spectral. Barricade.
Between US and that gun, that's a good idea.

(01:32:51):
So that's what I'm gonna go withmy bonus action.
So. Casting that first level, it's
+4 AC, right? Or +2 ACI, don't remember what
it. Is I don't.
Believe so I don't I. Don't think that's a thing
unfortunately. So it provides half cover for
you guys? It's half cover. +2 AC to all of

(01:33:13):
you, plus what +2 to your AC is.What half cover?
Does. So if you're like behind 1/2
cover barricade then that adds +2 to your AC.
That's A and two to your Dexterity saving throws,
according to me. Googling what the fuck half
cover does. Yeah, save throw.
I didn't. Know that should really add that
to. Yeah.

(01:33:35):
I don't have that information onmy noggin.
Great. So you.
So you. Cast a spectral.
Barrier, which you can. Still like see through an object
can pass through, but it's just like this big wing, like a force
shield, you know, 3 feet high. Yeah, one inch.
Thick. So yeah, it will.
Provide that the Titan wall. It's Titan Barricade.
Titan Barricade, Yeah. So that comes up.

(01:33:58):
Across the across the prison submarine by just behind you
guys providing some cover for you.
Anything else for your turn? Nope.
OK. That gun is going to make 2.
Attacks. As is the submarine's turn.
And so I'm going to roll for whoit's going to go for.
The first one is again, a lad. This is the best person for it

(01:34:23):
to attack. The person with the insane.
AC now the AC of 23, yeah. It's a 30 to hit though.
Sorry, don't have another reaction for you.
That will do it, surprisingly. I was like, this thing's not
going to fucking want. So you got hit with 22 piercing?
Damage. Oh my gosh, I have rolled.

(01:34:46):
Three times. For you lad 4 again on this dice
the the this deck gun hates you.Dude, you're supposed to read
that book I gave him. Stop.
This one is a 20 to hit though. That's a.
Miss Miss. Unreal.

(01:35:08):
Unreal. This deck gun.
Hits you in the. Back and then just like just
barely misses glances off of your armor.
What gives you the 20 AC? Do you have like armor on that
gives you the extra ACI? Have subdermal plating.
It's one of the things that I took sick from that, that text.

(01:35:28):
I've also got a shield, and thenI've also got what's my armor, a
mithril plate. Yeah.
So just the bullets it adds. Up.
I don't have anything. I can't do much damage, but I
am. Very sturdy.
That is an unstoppable tank. That is its turn.

(01:35:49):
And. It is Ben's turn.
Oh, yeah, Ben's there too, guys.Hey, Ben.
Hey, Ben. Is there a?
Fight in fate of the. Furious where there's like a.
Submarine and a tank involved onthe water or something frozen.
I'm sure there is. Yeah, it's feels.
Right. I don't even remember Charlize
Theron is. There, Ben, like you see, like.

(01:36:13):
Ben look back and forward and hejust like you, like clicks
something on his shoulder and you see this antenna, antenna
just rise up and start blinking this golden light.
And he's using an aura vitality spell.
And so it's a healing radius 30 foot radius spell.
And the aura moves with him and he can use a bonus action to

(01:36:36):
cause one creature in the area to regain 2D6 hip hip points.
So so is Ladd the only one that's taking damage so far?
I'm still in my temp. Hip points also OK, so nobody's
actually taking real damage yet.Yeah, OK.
So he activates that. Doesn't have to use his.
Bonus action and he is going to move close enough that he can

(01:36:59):
get in. He's already close enough to be.
In your range, but he's. Going to go step a few 10 about
10 feet forward to make sure Paulo, you're going to be in the
range of his aura. And that is going to.
Be it for his turn and then after his turn the deck guns
going to make another attack stop it this.

(01:37:23):
Time on. Viper.
That is a 26 to hit, yeah. 18 points of piercing damage on you
Viper. OK, Jesus.
Viper is squish. Too.
Thank goodness for that 30 temp for real.
Yeah, it's gonna clutch it is the.

(01:37:44):
Octopod's turn and it is going for.
Paulo, because Paulo is underneath it and I wanted to
focus on me. You see it.
Steel tentacles rise. Up it's going to make 2 steel.
Tentacles attacks on you. First one's an 18 to hit.
Yes, that hits. That hits you are.
Grappled and you're going to be taking.
Bludgeoning damage as this tentacle wraps around you and

(01:38:07):
just starts to crush you a little bit, that is 25 points of
bludgeoning damage. That's a lot.
Yeah, that's a lot, Sure. Is and it's going to.
Make another attack on you. For a natural 20, what is up
with you in Nat 20s? Man, well, that hits.
That hits. Surprisingly then.

(01:38:28):
That's funny. The Nat 20 is going to be.
Easy. Rolled bad for the Nat 2030
points of bludging damage. That's that's not 30 double,
that's just 30. That's just 30, OK.
And that is the. Octopods turn you Apollo.
You are grappled underneath it and lad, you are up actually

(01:38:51):
before your turn. Lad, it is going to use.
A legendary action for the deck gun and so it fires, this time
on Viper again we liken to stickto the same targets that's going
to hit you Viper. That said, 19 on the die, barely
on the die plus. Whatever it has to.

(01:39:13):
Hit it's. A kind of not barely.
Totally, totally. Barely.
It's a 30. Five to hit.
So oh. Lord, yeah, my my major.
Armor. And.
Half. Cover is not getting me that far
up there. 15 points of piercing damage 18.
Again, 1515. OK oh, there goes on my temp got

(01:39:39):
a dump are you? No, not dumpling.
Casserole. I do bonus action you got.
Bonus action. Lad, you're up so.
Lad's going to reach your hand. Out seeing.
Viper get hit a couple times andcast greater invisibility on
her. Smart.
Nice. 6666. So you.

(01:40:01):
Are invisible. Now and.
Attacking doesn't. Take that away from you, which
is pretty great. So basically, you're invisible.
And that. Lasts as long as I have kept my
concentration. So it lasts up to 10 minutes.
I can I can attack and I. Won't become uninvisible.

(01:40:23):
Yeah, yo. Oh that's great.
You can still be targeted. Oh my.
Gosh. You can still be targeted.
Yeah. Yeah, you just have to.
Disadvantage. Yeah, OK.
Let the goat. We need to get to this hash.
And out from under this. Gun.
Immediately I agree you. Gotta get past this guy though.

(01:40:44):
I can shut him. Down.
That'll take a lot. Of figuring out.
What's your turn around? Glad it's your turn, right?
So. I've got a gun behind.
Me, the little wall in front of me, and then the octopus beyond
that, you're the. So behind you is the.
The spectral wall gun wall U Octopus.

(01:41:05):
Right. Yeah, so, so in front of you.
Is the octopus, Paulo Ben took astep in front of you, Viper's
right next to you, and then beyond the octopus is the Hatch
behind you is where that deck gun is firing from and where
that spectral wall is. And we have the ability to go

(01:41:26):
under the. Octopus, Is that a?
Is that established? Yes, it's established that you
can get underneath. It it worked really well for
Paulo. Yeah, worked so hard.
Paulo is grappled. Underneath there right now.
Would you allow? Me to pick up the Viper and go.
Towards the IT would have to be octopus you you.

(01:41:48):
Would have half your movement speed.
But yes you could you could do it.
It would be like, just like grappling rules like uppies,
unless you can like make yourself ginormous like you, You
know, I think it makes sense that lad is that that you would
have to it would take you down to half of them at speed.
Okay, my walking speed is 45. So I'm going to move my full

(01:42:14):
half of that. I don't know why I didn't take
my movement in. My turn.
I'm sorry. So 20 well, because.
He told you not to, so he I toldyou not to exactly.
Well, that was going. The opposite way I could.
Have at least like so. 20 right way, so 20 feet gets you right
in front of the. Octopus OK, I just want to kind
of like I'll. Yeah, I'll shut her down.

(01:42:34):
And kind of. Be between it and her as much as
possible. Yeah, I was going to say she's
invisible. So just like we hear a mime,
yeah. I was actually lads or some mime
over there. I'm.
Fucking fighting a tank in the water.
Powers getting destroyed, lads performing.

(01:42:54):
And then so that's your movement.
Yeah, that's all I can do. I don't have any bonus actions.
OK, we go back to Hugh. Everybody on the battlefield,
you have been fighting these AI and after fighting them for a
round, and this is for Hugh Namby and Emtero, you get the

(01:43:15):
sense that they are tracking your movements better.
It's like they're learning whereyou are gonna make your next
move. They're they are tracking a
little bit better. They're gonna have an advantage
on any attacks that they make onyou now.
Oh shit. Well, that's shit.
Would you say that they have? Neural.
Net. Processors.
They are learning quickly your movements.

(01:43:37):
Here you are up and you can see in front of you about 50 ish
feet is the this giant tank thatis kind of rounding around the
corner behind you you have the mutants.
You are on fire so you will haveto take fire damage the start of
this turn. That'll be 14 points of fire
damage that you take as this napalm is.

(01:43:59):
Just on you and there's. Just no way to get napalm off.
What would you like to do? OK, so.
He's 50 feet away, I think. You moved 55 feet, so I think
technically he's. 45 feet. Now I'm remembering right, I am
going to use my long jump. Again.
To just like Hulk style, leap across and be on top of him on

(01:44:25):
that tank because that can take me 55 feet with half my
movement. Then I'm going to take.
My 2 attacks with Bone Crusher and then I'm also going to have
echo attack. Can I roll all of those together
or is there some AI learning my stuff?

(01:44:46):
Stuff that I need to know about?No the the that.
Effect is that you can. Tell that they're gonna have
advantage to like OK, so that itdoesn't.
It just seems like their guns are like trained.
On you guys now. So yeah, so there's a. 20 to.
Hit a dirty 20, a 17 to hit and a 22 to hit.

(01:45:13):
Yes, those all hit. OK.
And you said the? Extra feet is.
An extra D6 cold damage? Cold damage with each hit?
Yep. OK.
It's 50. 5 total. Damage.
OK, got a boy. Oh wait, that's not times.
Three. Sorry.

(01:45:33):
Times 300. And 65.
Damage Jeepers. Well, that was.
Your dice rolls are tripled, notyour strength modifier.
OK, then wait, then hold on. So that's only 126 damage.
Well, Becca, you should really like pull your weight.

(01:45:57):
With this party. So you just lay into this giant
tank? Wailing into this thing with
your Bone Crusher and your swarmjust surrounds this thing and
just is battering at it. Anything else for your turn?
How's it looking? Does it look like finish?
Or it's not bloodied yet, but it's getting there.
All right, I'm going to Second Wind or not Second Wind.

(01:46:18):
Excuse me? I'm going to axe and surge, I
haven't used my bonus. Action yet, so I will.
Second Wind. Eventually, but I'm going to axe
and surge first and take an additional 3 attacks.
He doesn't like to be on fire. He he would like to that to.
Punish those who made him on fire.

(01:46:38):
So that's going to be a 25 to hit, a 21 to hit and a 19 to
hit. Yeah, that'll look.
Just wow. It's like you.
Get 6 attacks. And just, they all hit, of
course, just of course, that's an.
Additional 120. 9 damage, it's something it's looking.

(01:47:04):
Pretty bad. It's.
Not. Nothing.
That's for sure. So I'm going to do my second
win. Feature.
But just blow on it, it'll fall over at this.
Point can I triple? My.
Second win feature too for healing the dice.
Because it's your spot, it's your, it's your swarm doing it

(01:47:27):
to. Themselves so like it, yeah.
OK so I'm getting 28. HP back on that.
Cool, it's gonna back up becauseto use.
Its main cannon on you. It has to get out.
It has to be at range to use it.So it's gonna back up.
If you want to use a reaction asa opportunity attack, you could.
I would. Thank you.

(01:47:47):
OK, Crit. Incoming.
I'm gonna use the baking dice. 'Cause these ones are my these.
Ones are my babies. Thank you Brooke.
It has been about like 6. Rolls since.
She's crit, so. It's this whole tournament.
It's coming, it's coming, it's due.
Hey, guys. Is it?
Oh my. Gosh, yeah.

(01:48:09):
You guys brought it? It's yeah.
I don't think I've rolled a Nat 20 in like 3.
Episodes just. Like I got one on initiative
earlier, so you know. Equally helpful.
Roll your cold damage with your.You get that extra cold damage
on it too cool and then that's. Tripled, 25 damage.

(01:48:33):
OK, it's still up. Damn it.
It's. Still up?
Just. Barely.
I mean, you hit like. One of its treads.
Right. And it's like leaning to the
side as it as it backs up to tryand get to, to get purchase on
you or or get an attempt at using its, its cannon attack.
So that mean cannon trains directly on you and it is a 22

(01:49:01):
to hit, yeah. 30. Points of piercing damage down
to 15 and then 23 points of Thunder damage as this main
cannon fires at you and boom hits you right in the chest.

(01:49:21):
It has a cannon on the side of it.
It's a. Rotary cannon that.
Gets to make 2 attacks as well, and as it's swiveling, it's just
tracking your movement and it isit's gonna hit.
That's a 19 on the die for a 31 to hit.
So the piercing damage. On that.

(01:49:43):
Is 19 that already halved or no no. 19 halved.
Down to 9. Nine, yeah, nine.
And then it's second Rotary cannon or Rotary gun that is
going to hit as well. It's a 28 to hit.

(01:50:04):
Kyle is still rolling like. Kyle for a.
Lot of these like a 28 to hit onthat thing.
Plus is pretty nice. Like he's rolling like a nine,
Kyle. Solved the problem.
Of not hitting with this one little trick.
Yes, 20 little trick. Yeah, 29.
Points. Halved down to 14 points of

(01:50:26):
piercing damage and that is its turn.
OK, how is he looking? The swarm is down to. 20.
OK. But you still have your HP left
OK? That means you only get double
damage. On stuff now.
Too. Yeah, I am down into the.
The double the tree ball cause what is it less than half?

(01:50:47):
Yeah, less. Than 50 the.
Airship above you is going. To use in a legendary.
Action after its turn, this is the airship that dropped the
napalm and it is going to use a Rotary cannon.
Action Wait, but this, this is the one in my spirit guardian,
this one is. Sure, this one is a legendary,
so it takes. But it's not.
It's not. Its turn.

(01:51:08):
I just don't. Want to forget?
I know. Yeah, this one gets.
A. That's a 20.
To hit which is. 24 points of. Piercing damage down to 12.
Swarm is almost gone. So, Hugh, you bit you.
Almost take out this massive. Tank with your swarm and then

(01:51:29):
the tank just backs up and rips into you and your swarm, your
swarm is dwindling. Very, very few amounts of
mutants left. And you look up and see that
this giant airship with the fansin its wings just fires its
Rotary cannon down at you just and you take some more piercing
damage, takes out another one ofyour mutant mutants in your
swarm. And we are two Mtero.

(01:51:51):
Mtero, you were under the water.Above you close is the giant
floating fortress. This floating tank that is
submerged under the water has been shooting you with some
Rotary cannons. What would you like to do?
Sick. What do you guys I'd I'd like?
Opinions on this? Should I?

(01:52:11):
I guess I'll just ask Kyle if calm emotions allows me to
target it. Target something and make it
indifferent. About creatures of.
My choice if it fails the charisma saving throw.
So could I cast that on the Octopod and make it indifferent
about the people that are on that submarine right now?

(01:52:32):
It's a charisma saving. Throw it is a Charisma saving
throw. Says I mean it.
Has all the calm emotions, the very.
Last. Paragraph 4 it says.
Alternatively, you can make a target indifferent about
creatures of your choice that itis hostile toward.
This indifference ends if the target is attacked or harmed by
a spell, or if it witnesses any of its friends.
That would that would that wouldwork for this.

(01:52:55):
Setting it's not going to be immune to that.
You know, you kind of have like a -5 charisma, right?
I. Think like at least this one is
a Charisma. Save it.
Might not be as good at that as it is at the wisdom.
This is your wheelhouse. This is your.
Wheelhouse. This is This is where.
You. Yes.
We don't. Know Does the octopus look like

(01:53:15):
handsome Squidward? Would only last a turn though if
it sees it. Doesn't matter.
All we need is a turn. All we need is a turn to get.
Right. I'm just saying it my only last
turn true. Yeah, but if it becomes
indifferent. Toward Paolo.
Then it'll drop. Me, release the grapple.
That's right, it'll say I don't care about this guy anymore.
Sounds like a good plan to me. Well.

(01:53:37):
Sounds like that's what. Him, Tierra.
'S going to try to do then he's going to try 0 surface up so he
can get so he can speak since ithas verb I guess.
Well, I don't know if I can speak underwater if I have
girls. I bet you should works, yeah?
You're aquatic. You're right.
Your mouth and your belly. Yeah.

(01:53:59):
That's the purpose of your. Weird stomach mouth.
Yeah. Freak so it lasts for a.
Minute. If he fails, it's concentration.
It's a Charisma 15 saving throw.OK.
Charisma 15. Saving throw?
Yep. Let's do it.
Let's do it on the Tavern roll. Let's do.
A Tavern roll this feels. Important How are we doing?

(01:54:21):
Since this is an ability. That really effects.
Hihachi's. Connection to it, it does give.
It does have advantage to these types.
I hate that, hate everything about that.
OK, it's got a + 0 to. Charisma.
So come on, come on, come on, Roll like Kyle. 14 and a.
Five, it fails. Baby OH.

(01:54:45):
Man. Oh.
Yeah. That's so good.
You got to. Spell on your swarm.
Just the garbling, too. It's just these.
Creatures with mouths in their bellies.
Bunch of bubbles. Start.
Coming up out of the water and just.
Distract the. Octopod like it looks, it turns
and. And so who are you?

(01:55:06):
You have to designate. I want it to be indifferent.
It says. I can make indifferent about
creatures. Of my choice that it's hostile
toward so I just want it to be indifferent to all four of those
people up there on that sub right now OK so you do that
effect and you can see the. Head like kind of like turn and
move and like the the the denticles and then it just like
kind of like relaxes a little bit.

(01:55:27):
Let's go, Apollo beneath it. And then it looks at you and
Tyro, and the eye flares and locks on to you and sees you
there. Anything else for your turn?
I will I'm. Still going to try I guess to.
Swim up. To the surface so that I can use
my bonus action to throw out like a Bartok inspiration onto.

(01:55:50):
I guess I can't see Viper currently.
I guess I don't need to be able to see her, she only needs to be
able to. No, I won't do that because my
modes of potential are visible, so if I cast part of inspiration
onto her it will negate the invisibility.
People will be able to see whereshe's at because of the it's a
chaotic battlefield. I don't know.

(01:56:11):
I will. I'm going to throw one on DI.
Paolo, then I'll I'll. Yell at I've distracted it, now
is your chance my friend. OK, that's it for cool material
I suppose. Nice job.
And you're ending. Ending your turn there.
I I mean if I have any movement to try to get.
Behind one of these ice things in the water so that something

(01:56:35):
has less chance of blasting. Me, but I.
Mean I don't think that's I don't think I think I'm getting
hit on these turns. No as as paladins dropped.
Drops to the plate. Deck of this submarine and like
he hears the he sees what interior has done as a boy a man
raised on the coast be like takes the the charm around his

(01:56:57):
neck and he jerks it off his neck and he.
Tosses it into the. Ocean hoping that enduring can
can catch it and says can you make a save to catch it?
No. Maybe.
And he's like, he's sinking in his.
Head, he's like. May our waters guide you, my
friend. Excellent.
Just to give both of you give me.

(01:57:17):
Athletics checks to try and throw it and catch it.
You'll have to get a 10 or above.
You can do it. That's about 20.
That's a. You get advantage.
To this baby, you got a. Nat 20 you get.
Advantage to make some of the hood.
It's coming right at them. You don't need.
Advantage. I got a. 19 baby.

(01:57:37):
Listen. There's a good shell necklace
in. This room, grab it in the air.
Incredible. This tank flows in the water and
moves and rotates and gets into view of you.
The rail gun pointed directly atyou and the rail gun goes off
and and in 1000 foot line 5 feetwide the projectile shoots out

(01:58:03):
this like line of light and hitsyou.
You have to make a dexterity saving throw.
OK, I can do that. That's good, right?
A10. Is good, right?
So you fail, you take 44 points.Of piercing damage.
What? But only 22, right?
Yeah. Only 22 though.

(01:58:25):
Now I am also at half of my swarm it.
Has 2. Rotary.
Rotary cannon attacks. As well to hit and that is a
natural 20 in the first one yeahthe.
Damage, that is. 29 piercing. They're down to 414.

(01:58:48):
Yep, piercing. And then second roll 4-16.
Yeah, that hits. You could roll in that one.
On this thing. And hit me I think.
That is. Just 11 points of.
Piercing down to five, that's not so bad.

(01:59:09):
Still in swarm? That's good.
So the railgun just rips throughlike half of your.
Half of your mutant swarm just obliterates them.
They're they're gone. The Rotary gun fires out out at
a couple more of your mutants and you take a few bullets
yourself and that is its turn and it is like within range for

(01:59:29):
you very close about like 20 feet away from you.
So I like it good right Namby itis.
We are to your initiative. The airship, on its turn, has to
flee, right? It sure does.
But before it does that, it takes.
Damage nice. Spirit Guardian.

(01:59:50):
Excellent. Roll the damage.
For. Me, it does have to make a
Wisdom save DC-15. It can take half damage.
I did by the way, just do concentration saves.
On all the hits from Tiro to keep that calm emotions up.
And I did succeed. Oh my gosh, one day I'll.

(02:00:14):
Remember to ask people to do a. Concentration, yes.
I thought about. Until then, Scott, you're doing
it. But.
Then I would be. Three.
Several. Rolls my man.
I rolled a flat. 17 on that save.
All right. Well, I rolled 40, so that's
half to 20. Radiant Good.
And then it must flee, so I. Think that means?

(02:00:35):
It has to dash, right? Like it's going to get like
hella far away. It sure is.
It really is. But it's so fast it creates a
Sonic boom and you all take damage.
And it's not hopscot, it moves so.
Fast, that another. Napalm Bomb just rules out the
back. Whoops you.
Whoops to do. Now Hugh is.
Double on fire, you see it it like it takes.

(02:00:59):
That radiant damage and. Squirves away from it and just
like takes off and starts flyingas fast as it can, as fast as it
can, and goes 100 or 280 feet away.
Damn. Yeah, it is very far away at
this. Point.
It is your turn. Namby you look down and you can
see hue down below. Very weak.

(02:01:22):
You can see over on the submarine area you see the
Octopod engaged with the sub crew and MTRO getting hit by
this giant tank. What would you like to do?
Can I get to the? Octopus over by the sub.

(02:01:44):
You can get to the area. I don't.
Think you'll be able to get themwithin?
Melee of the Octopus, but you could do a ranged attack from
because you're in the sky area. You can, yeah, with your speed
you can definitely get to that area.
Really, Air. Attack that.
Octopus. But you don't?
Yeah. Currently.
Is ignoring all. Of us.
You could probably take out the tank too.

(02:02:05):
It's. Really hurt the tower gun's
still up right too. That one gun is still up the.
Deck the tower gun. Yeah, that's.
Behind us like. 80 feet behind us.
Yeah, take them. That is harassing us with a lot
of legendary. Actions.
Yeah, I. Kind of I want to give you guys

(02:02:26):
some. Cover and as much as I want to
protect Hugh, I know he still has his health and he can.
Kind of bamp out of here. If need be, get us get.
Us to the Hatch. I am going.
To I'm going to go. Over in the area of.

(02:02:48):
The. Sub and I am, while I still have
my three times damage, going to cast a third level guiding bolt
on that gun OK the deck. Gun.

(02:03:09):
Yeah, yeah. OK.
That's 19 to hit. Oh yeah, yeah, 19.
Will hit. OK.
Wonderful with the three. Times my dice, that's eighteen
D6 and this is fucking damage. That's fucking go.

(02:03:32):
Namby, this is your radiant. Damage and any ones.
Or twos that you roll on that threes since you since you rest
since you cleansed the temple ofsoul.
All right, someone add this for me please.
Got the. Calculator ready 5. +3.
Plus 3 + 6 + 4 + 3 plus. 3. Plus 3 + 4 + 3.

(02:04:05):
This is so entertaining. Plus 3 + 3 + 4. +4.
Plus 4 + 4 + 3 + 365 sixty five.Yeah, I gave.
Up at 27. 60. Five radiant damage.

(02:04:27):
Yes, amazing. What is?
What is? That's a guiding bolt, yes.
So I imagine that this. Like world is very kind of like
dim and dark and dreary and I just kind of imagine like the
clouds and like the smog partingand then just like a strike of
bright sunlight coming down on this gun.

(02:04:48):
No, I haven't seen Sailor Moon, but that sounds pretty sailor.
Moon. Oh yeah, Namby does a little
twirl. Your swarm like.
Glows with the radiant light as well.
As you're calling this. Beam of light down from the sun
and just rips into this gun and takes it out.
The duck gun is gone. Fuck yes.
I guess you'd be more like a sailor's sun.
Huh. Not a moon sailor.

(02:05:09):
'S sun. If only they were a sailor.
Sun Nam, be a sailor. Sun, I'm just making it.
That's my it is now. Anything else for?
Your turn. I do still have my.
My spiritual. Weapon up if it can whack at
anything you have a tank in the water that is engaging in.
Tiro. OK, I'll go for that one then.

(02:05:31):
You're in Tiro then. Gosh, I keep rolling.
Shit from my spiritual weapon, that's a. 12 that does not hit.
Cool, that's my turn. OK, we are.
Back to the prison submarine. Paulo, you're up and you've been
released by the by the Octopod, which is apparently ignoring me

(02:05:55):
for the. Time being seems to not Yes, it
is relaxed, it's. Yeah, it you are released and
down on the ground, you can tellthat it has turned its attention
elsewhere as it looked over to Emtero so as it was squeezing
him. Curling him up.
Lifting him. Off the ground he's he's like
hacking at it with a sword and as it releases him, he kind of

(02:06:20):
and he's just like, wow, puts a kiss.
On his hand puts it on the. Tentacle.
And runs over. To the to like sprints over to
the Hatch. Looking back at this, you do one
point of bludgeoning damage and it wakes up you.
Tapped it too hard. I do 1.
I would do one point of. Healing and it's.
My friend now is what I guess. He hits the ground.

(02:06:42):
And he's like. Like.
Waving on his team. He's he knows the team.
Is behind him. He's the vanguard, gets the
Hatch as fast as he can and wrenches it open.
Do I have enough movement to getit open and then get down into
the sub? Yeah.
So you so you were 10. Feet away from it and it does

(02:07:03):
open. You're able to wheel it open
and, and it cracks open and you can crawl down the ladder and be
in the sub. We'll say that takes just 5 feet
of your movement as you you wheel down the ladder there.
You look down the hall and you can see that it's fairly wide

(02:07:23):
inside the belly of the submarine.
You can see that where you've come down.
You can you can see the hallway in front of you has some beds on
the side. And then beyond it you see a
couple humans with like uniformson and they have guns kind of
trained on your position. That's what you see human beings

(02:07:45):
well. You look like.
Humans too, yeah. So I mean.
Paolo drops into this like he. Drops to the hole, he's got a
black steel like 3 or 4 foot long Cortana in one hand and a a
completely blacked out SMG in the other on a sling.

(02:08:07):
He drops into this hole expecting to fight bots and if.
There are people. Like human people in this
hallway, he's immediately going to lower everything you see a
puzzled. Look on their.
Faces as they slowly start to lower the gun themselves and

(02:08:32):
then look at each other and thenquickly put their guns back up
trained at you. But you do see a look of
confusion on their faces, are you?
Wow, what a. Weird thing to.
Ask and he's like, he's kind. Of got his guts.
He's like. Are you organic?

(02:09:00):
And he's like, not sure how to put it.
So it's comes off really awkwardly.
Take one step and we fire. You can't just ask someone if.
They're real, Paolo, Yeah. You can't ask if they're
organic. It's weird.
Take one step and we fire He. Holds his weapons up, both the
sword, his SMG shoulders, the sling off, sets them down on the

(02:09:22):
ground. Puts his hands up and says, do
you have? Any.
Understanding of what is going. On.
Up there we. Know what's going on out?
There you're an. Anarchist, you want to release
this AI? You want it to take over the
world. We have a powerful AI here, you

(02:09:42):
know that. That's what you're here for.
We're here to guard it. These people seem like human
beings. Yeah, that's what they look
like. You could.
Roll Yeah, just. Flat like perception with that's
what it looks like a couple of humans standing there with their
guns strained on you. Palo rolls at 1919.
Our perception. That I mean they.

(02:10:05):
Look human. They look, they look human to
you. Your friends looked human to
you. You can't tell at this point,
you know, is this, are these more AI?
Is this, you know, a a living, breathing, organic, hard for you
to tell at this point. The Intel we have is that all
life has been replaced. By AI that looks identical to

(02:10:28):
humans though. Like yeah.
Or put them on a separate. Continent to have them farmed or
I don't know what that was is isthat me imagining anything else
for your turn, Paulo? Yeah.
So having. Set his weapons.
Down and having. Had them not drop their weapons.

(02:10:48):
This may be a disadvantage because of what he put himself
at, but he's going to. Grab both of his.
Weapons and slide. Forward.
Into a slice attack, so so they're they're.
Still, they're kind. Of far away from you.
So they're 40 feet away from you.
OK. Well then no, it's it's going to

(02:11:10):
be. SMG attacks against both.
It's if I don't know what I'm seeing.
It's the. Enemy.
Because I have to get to the core.
We have to get to the core and anything but standing between US
and that is the enemy. OK, go ahead and.
Make some attacks. Well, that's in that one.

(02:11:37):
The 15 fit, the 15 hits the. Gnat 1 does not hit.
Don't do this, but it'd be really funny if the Gnat 1.
You fired and it bounced out andricocheted and hit the octopus
and turned it hostile. It'd be the worst now.
One of all time, yeah. Wow, I hold horribly.

(02:11:57):
OK. So that's six piercing damage
plus. A Wow. 1 electrical damage or
lightning damage. So seven points of damage.
Yeah, the very. Very close to the minimum I can
possibly. Do.
OK, gotcha. That's to the.
One on the left fire the SMG. How far can you get?

(02:12:21):
How how far did you how much movement did you have left?
You used 15 to get where you are.
So I have an additional 15 OK and you want to?
Use it. That's all I have.
OK. Anything else for your turn?
That doesn't put me within 5 feet of any of these enemies.
No, they're still far from you then.

(02:12:41):
Now OK. Viper, you're up.
You are invisible. Held in the arms of lad as he
carried. Carried you are, yeah.
You look up at the octopod is. Just standing.
There looking at Emtero so was Iput down like in.
The same. Vicinity of where Paulo was when

(02:13:05):
he was held. So am I like the same distance
away? Basically I just want to like
map out how far I got to go to like end up where Paulo is
right? Five, 10/15/20. 25 gets you down
and down to the same level wherePaulo is.
OK, that gives me just five extra feed movement.

(02:13:26):
Well, I book it, you know, I go down, do the cool little like
side, I guess descent along the ladder or whatever.
That's, that's cool. But no one sees you do it
because you're invisible. So that's no one sees you.
No one. No.
One sees you do it because. Paolo is just.
Rattling. Off round things that may not be

(02:13:49):
there, they can't. See.
Me very. Good, Very good.
Hang on, let me read this real quick.
Pause. Pause.
That's to the listeners. Pause.
You have to. Pause the episode right now.
All right. So I'm down there.
I see. That there is a a confrontation

(02:14:10):
happening, shots fired and I cast confusion.
Nice. So.
Concentration up to one minute the.
Spell assaults and twists the creatures minds, spawning
delusions and provoking uncontrolled action.
Each creature in a 10 foot radius sphere censored on a

(02:14:33):
point you choose within range must succeed on a Wisdom saving
throw. When you cast the spell.
An effective target can't take reactions and must roll D10 at
the start of each of its turns to determine the behavior of
that turn. I've got a list of behaviors
here, so that's going to be a 14Wisdom.
They both failed 11 and three Let's.

(02:14:56):
Go. Come on.
OK. I guess you roll the D 10s.
To decide on what happens. So on the start of the start of
each of their turn, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So they are. So they can't take reactions
either. OK, good.
Anything else? For your turn, yeah, I want to

(02:15:16):
move away from the ladder so that people.
Can get in and I really got 5 feet of movement left.
So what, you're able to step onestep closer to Paolo?
Basically cool. So that's let me see what else I
got 'cause that's. Only an.
Action. Now it's my only fourth level.
Oh, it was well played. Well played.

(02:15:41):
Though for sure. What?
Else I got what else I got. Oh, I take out of my pocket my
orblet to let them float around around me.
Roll initiative as well, right? Yeah, it like goes in front of.
Of Paulo, you guys are going to read roll initiative once you're

(02:16:03):
all down here so that they don'thave the roll initiative for
Orblet right now. It'll just take your.
It'll just. Take its turn.
After your turn right now, I always forget about it.
Yeah, and like circles. In front of Paulo.
And you can just to notify that you're here that that you're
down here Orblet, orblet and I are, we're tight.
So if you have a turn that you want orblet.

(02:16:23):
To do. You can take that if you'd like.
How? How far away?
Are. The guys from us, how many feet
away from you right now? They are 35.
Orblet Canoe. Yeah.
Wait, no, that's fine. Sorry.
Oh my gosh. Yeah.

(02:16:43):
Speed 30 feet, so I'm gonna moveit 30 feet towards them.
OK, So it's like right? It's like kind of like right in
front of them. Cool.
Great. It is the prison submarine's
turn. It's deck gun is gone, so it is
going to send a homing torpedo at Mr. Emtero in the water and
that is going to be two homing torpedoes.

(02:17:05):
You see it, you just in the water, you can like sense
something change. You look in the water, you just
see this torpedo just directly coming at you.
It's not even worse than Marv's in one because.
I know what. They're going to hit me 30-4 to
hit. So nearly triple my AC20.

(02:17:27):
Piercing damage down to 10. And then 12 Thunder damage.
Oh no, having that. That's its first homing torpedo
attack. Second one's in that 20, I mean,
do you guys think? I should silver barbs.
That just so it's not a. Crit.

(02:17:49):
Yeah, Silver barbs. Yeah.
Like the? Fucking.
Hell sled me in. Woof.
And I. Give.
Advantage to namby how's a 1919 will still hit.
But you know, at least it might.Not kill me.
Yeah. OK, 19 damage down.
To 9 piercing damage. I am no longer a swarm.

(02:18:13):
And you take 11 points of Thunder damage.
That second homing torpedo takesout the rest of your swarm, and
in material you are alone in thewater, you're not a swarm at
all. No, he's down to he and he took
that. 11. Points of damage I did.
How much HP do you have at? In.
General not a lot 45 I'm. Down to 30.

(02:18:38):
Two, yeah, you get multi attacked.
You might. You might need to go I feel like
to be honest and just need to goit.
Might be time to vanish, but. They haven't done the thing yet.
I'm not going until. They do the thing.
It is Ben's turn who on the. Deck has.
Been hit? Who's who's low is lad You're

(02:18:59):
low. Are you low on health?
I'm still in tenth base or 10th.Has anybody been?
Hit on the I've been hit. But I'm yeah, I'm a.
Little bit below my normal HP, but I'm also not on the deck.
I'm I'm below deck. OK, he's going to go down and
use his. Bonus action the aura.
That he has. So Powell's going to get the 2D6

(02:19:20):
here. Oh, you get 4 HP back?
Paulo. Super excited about that.
And. Ben's going to run down.
There. See the guys at the end of the
hall and he's going to bend overand the exhaust pipe's going to
come out of his butt and he is going to shoot his shotgun out
of his butt. So excited fetish.

(02:19:43):
Is all making sense now. Misses.
He just misses with the shotgun.Just the blast.
Goes all the way around, all theway around the guy on the left
and and misses completely. That is his turn, it is the
Aquapod's turn, and it is looking at Emtero and it is.

(02:20:05):
Climbs off the. Top of the prison sub.
And heads straight for you. Emtero, run away.
That's away. Run away, run away.
Nothing to be done right now. It does have advantage on these
steel tentacle. Attacks and it has 2.
Of them, you're underwater, right?
So. Namby can't even see this, no.

(02:20:26):
I'm on the surface, I think of the water 21 to hit.
Yeah. You'll you'll float up to.
The surface most. Yeah, can you use?
Can you use the page as a? Can you use the page?
I already use my reaction to silvery barbs that crib I can't
do. Anything right now, 13
bludgeoning damage and you are. Grappled.
We're fine and everything is. Fine y'all.

(02:20:49):
Don't need to. Worry, it's all good.
And. The.
Second attack. Am I going to?
Miss. A 12 to hit it misses it is
possible. Jess, Jess, I roll A2 and A4.

(02:21:09):
Oh, you wanna die? And.
You are. Grappled in just whiffs.
Goes across the top and misses that second attack.
Oh my God. And Emtero, you're still.
I thought that was the grace of soul.
By the grace. Of soul and.
That's its turn. It is off the top of the the
prison sub fully locked in on Emtero Lad, you are up.

(02:21:33):
I am going to quickly. Go down the.
Ladder to join my friends. Now we.
Don't know what the. Effect of the confusion is yet
correct. Not yet.
They haven't went, yeah. I am going.
Excuse me, I'm going to cast a third level of blindness,

(02:21:55):
deafness on both of them. Oh man, that's like, that's like
con. 16 and I'm gonna. Make them blind if possible, OK?
The Nat one and a six? Heck yeah.
Yeah, they are blind. Now, yeah, blind.
And they will be confused. Yeah, and.

(02:22:15):
I'm just gonna beckon everyone. On I'm like they're blind, let's
go and I'm going to take all of my movement to go as far as I.
Can which is. 45 so whatever took me to get down there then
probably have 10 extra yeah we're.
Able to get in front of. Paolo, we're able to get in
front of. Paolo, excellent.

(02:22:37):
And so we are back over to Hugh.Hugh, you are on the ground,
have taken some massive hits from this tank.
This tank looks very bad in front of you.
What would you like to do? I am going to.
I'm still in swarm form. So I am going to it backed up,
so I'm going to rush right back to it and just start hammering

(02:23:01):
at it and start with two attacksand then see if Echo needs or
potentially save that feature. OK, so there's two seventeens on
the die which. Become. 02/20 fives Yeah 25 will
hit wait 20. Five hits, that's.
Crazy, crazy. 46 damage. Oh wait, but that's not doubled.

(02:23:29):
I did it wrong again. So 5071 damage, Yes, you beat
this thing to a pulp. I had 20 help left.
And so you just smash into it and take out any special way you
want to take out this big massive tank on the ground.
I think you know, honestly, likeHugh is just.
Manic, He has seen like a lot ofthe mutants that look like him

(02:23:51):
dying very horribly with fire around him and I yeah, I don't
think it's pretty. I think it is just swinging and
just yeah, not even really processing what he's doing.
You annihilate this tank and. The mutants around you.
Cheer and and holler and and surge behind you as they charge

(02:24:14):
forward against the the AI centuries.
You can see like a Walker, like one of the two legged walkers
kind of like lock eyes onto you kind of coming from afar.
But for the most part you don't see any big huge tank come out
of nowhere or anything. What you do see it coming from
the city are more of the AI sentries that can fly, fly out

(02:24:36):
from the building straight toward the prison tank.
You can just see that a lot of the attention is being diverted
to the prison tank. Your gay gaze looks over there
and you see lad kind of hop intothe Hatch on the tank and see
him go down under. You mean the prison sub, right?
That's prison tank, yes. Prison sub thank you.
But around you there are some a.Ice entries that.

(02:24:57):
There is still the battle that'sraging on, but no big target
like in your vicinity, in your immediate range.
OK. I think I'm just going to like.
You know, as much as the battlefield allows, I'm going to
start moving like towards where like Namby and I know Mtero are.

(02:25:18):
It looks like they've gotten in the sub, but I think to try to
get as close to them as possible, understanding that
there's limitations with the field.
Yeah, you can, since you haven'tused.
Your movement speed at this point you can run and do your
jump like you have been and justleap and like land in the water
and you have half movement speedin water.

(02:25:40):
Could you, can you know, or is that what you wants to do is
start swimming toward them, towards some of these icebergs
on the water 'cause I. With.
My I use half of my movement technically to like to do the
the long jump. So I think if I'm doing it right
I could move 20 like normally and then long jump the 55 for a

(02:26:01):
total of 75. Like how?
How far offshore is this sub? It's not far offshore, but.
Getting that you? Would you'd be able to get into
the water where next turn aroundyou could get into like close to
the action? That makes sense.
So you're still pretty? Far away.

(02:26:21):
If you're trying to be in range of namby for that like
protective effect, I think or the emboldening bond, is that
what you're what you're looking for?
No, I was just trying to think if I could get up on the sub
itself. So then I wouldn't.
Have to worry about swimming wasthe idea.
Oh yeah, you can't leap from thewater to the sub.
It's. It's decently far out there.
Gotcha. OK, Yeah, then I will just get

(02:26:42):
the 75. Feet out wherever that takes me
into the water. OK, M Tiro, it is.
Your turn. So here you are grappled by the.
Octopod. That has you, you can see you
can see the people on top of theprison sub getting into the

(02:27:02):
prison sub going down deep and you look around and you can see
AI sentries flying the tentacle like small ones starting to move
and take notice and go toward the the prison sub and.
How far away is Hugh from me after this athletic?

(02:27:23):
Maneuver that this marvelous feat he just accomplished, we'll
say he's he's able to get within. 30 feet of you?
Oh sick. OK, I'm not even worried anymore
then. Hold on, I just wanted to.
I can't remember what it is about me being slippery and

(02:27:43):
grapples and what that gives me that my skin is waxy.
Kyle yeah, you've advantage to like checks to.
Not be grappled I. Think is what it is.
It's irrelevant because I'm going to face step to you
getting out of. This fucking things grapple and
Tiro just dissolves into smoke. And then?
Reappears behind like you that is what I want is that big

(02:28:07):
beautiful swarm wall between me and anything that's shooting at
me and then Emtero is going to try to for just a second he's
going to like fumble with like he's trying to get out a piece
of paper to write something on it and then he's like fuck it
and just like focuses for a second and just like whispers

(02:28:29):
live and you see fire like shootout of him toward one of the
like iceberg things that he madepreviously and it like starts to
steam off of it and melt it downto the shape of like a an ice
squid giant ice squid and then I'm going to yeah just have that
I guess but I can't since I use my bonus action already I can't

(02:28:52):
actually command it to do anything yet on this turn but if
it's close enough to Hugh that Ican also give any sort of speed
bonus on his next turn for starting within 10 feet of it
then I would like to have that if there are any that are near
us in that way so to to put the.Iceberg to be close to.

(02:29:12):
You. Yeah, if it's if I can, if
there's one that's close enough that.
I can have it just if it's within 10 feet of you, he'll
have a speed bonus on his next turn or honestly, even if
there's one that's within 10 feet of the tank or the octopus
to lower it 10 there's there when you animated the. 3
icebergs, there's a round and one of them is close to where

(02:29:33):
like you is in the water. So you guys would be in the
water. We'll give Bullet.
He gets a bonus of 10 feet on. They really need it.
I can't move it yet. I'll be able to move it.
I need a bonus. Action but I bonus actioned with
the face step to get out of the octopus.
I think it's only. Action it'll take if I don't

(02:29:53):
command. It's just the Dodge action.
I think it's one of those we'll do a scoop you action to get you
out. Of the water, although wait, am
I? Am I no longer on fire?
There you go. That's probably water.
You're still burning. You're still burning.
I think water, I don't know if water puts out a napalm, but the
stat block is that you take, if you fail, you take it for 10

(02:30:16):
minutes and there's nothing to like, there's nothing you can
get rid of it and so. Wait, actually it can.
I can. Move it.
I'm just reading the item step like it takes its turn after
mine and it can move and use itsreaction on its own.
So I will make sure I guess thatit moves and I probably can't
like make an amount for Hugh can.

(02:30:38):
I I'm. I will allow you to go under the
water with. The iceberg and move under and
rise up a rock that's what rise you guys up excellent yes so it
goes under and. And lifts you 2 up.
On the iceberg. Anything else?
No, that's it for its turn. It's just taking the.
Dodge action I guess? Excellent.

(02:31:00):
The floating fortress is. Going to aim its railgun at you
and Hugh in a line and be able to get that angle so you'll both
be hit by this. Oh well that sucks and you both
will be have to. Make a Dexterity saving.
Throw as the railgun shoots this1000 foot long line projectile.
That'll be an 8 with you. Fuck.

(02:31:21):
Also an 8 for Empiro. Yep.
So you both will fail on that. Eyes.
It rolled. Really.
Poorly. 29 damage and. What kind is that piercing
damage? So can I still?
Have. That since I'm in swarm.
Form, even though it'll knock meout and then I'll still have

(02:31:42):
extra, we'll say it halves it. Initially, so 29 down to 1414,
so 14 and so you'll take the damage and then the residual
damage from that 14 is Emtero down.
Yeah, Emtero's down. Emtero is.
Down and Hugh is out of swarm. Form it has two more attacks

(02:32:07):
that it can make, and it's goingto attack.
The person standing, which is. Hugh And it's going to be the
Rotary cannon going to be a 22 to hit yeah, 17 points of.
Piercing damage. And then natural 20, yeah, for

(02:32:29):
28 points. Of piercing damage back in.
Hell and yeah, you. Is black.
And that is the end of. Its turn namby.
You are up. No press namby.
You. Had flown over.
To the water area, correct. Is that where you're at?

(02:32:51):
Yeah, gosh darn. It If only I'd had my stupid.
Emboldening. Bond up one turn earlier.
All right, I'm going to Channel Divinity Balm of Peace.
Which allows. Me to move up to my.
Speed which when? Flying is 60 feet.

(02:33:11):
I don't provoke opportunity attacks and if I move within 5
feet of a creature I can restoretwo D 6 + 4 hit points, which is
tripled because I am still at 81out of 100 hell, so I can I
reach. Them with just 60.
Feet perfect. 60 feet plus. Your.

(02:33:34):
Regular movement that you could.Do so.
That's what I am doing. So 66 coming in 20 + 420.
Four hit points to both. Of you Dang, is anyone else out?
On the sub that I can. Reach, is anyone else out here
or are they all in the sub? They're all in the sub at this

(02:33:55):
point. They're in the sub.
You look at the sub's. Direction you see some of those
AI sentries starting to crawl upthe sides of the prison sub and
and head their make their way tothe Hatch.
It looks like OK Channel Divinity.
Is an action and not a spell, soif I can be within 30 feet of

(02:34:18):
emtero, I'm going to cast. Sanctuary on.
Him OK, thank. You so anything.
Trying to attack him. Will have to make a wisdom save
of 15 and if they fail they haveto attack something else and
that is a bonus action spell so.That's my.
Turn Hugh and M tyro you see Namby and her.

(02:34:38):
Flock like a mutant Angel in front of me namby.
Is flying with her wings. Her.
Her. Earwings flying now and.
Flapping through and then. Just this all these mutants like
combined together and just heal you guys up and you're standing
up on all three of you on this iceberg.
Seeing seeing the chaos around you since since Octopod is in

(02:35:03):
the area now, I'm going to have him take his turn now because
the sub people are going to havea new initiative role.
So Octopod is joining at the endof after your turn namby where
you guys are at because it's right there.
Could I have arranged myself to be next to?
It so it would take my spirit guardians damage?

(02:35:25):
Or is it still chill? I don't really know.
It's not chill. It definitely it's not chilling.
OK. Can I make it take my spirit
guardian? Damage.
Then can I can I be 15 feet fromit?
You want to use your movement toget closer to the octopod.
Yeah, you can do this. Yeah, you can do that.
Cool. So then it would take my spirit
guardian damage at the. Beginning of its turn.
Great, roll that spirit Guardiandamage.

(02:35:46):
OK, so. I'm going to add this for me. 3
+ 3. +8. +7 plus 4 + 4 + 7 + 8 plus 44848.
Radiant damage. Thank you.
Solid. Insane it takes.

(02:36:07):
So much damage just from. Being in the in the range at the
start of its turn, does it Does it have to make a wisdom set?
Does it get to make a? Wisdom set.
Oh yeah, sorry. Wisdom Save 15 or it'll take.
Half. OK, let's see.
It does not pass. I got a just.
Three on the roll. Let's go.

(02:36:27):
So yes, it just take that. Radiant.
Damage just like eats away at part of its metal, one of its
tentacles, it is going to look at you 3 it's going to attack
you and ambi, it did not like that and you are like a swarm
like right in front of it and soit kind of has to attack you
pretty much. That's a 23 to hit some revarbs.
Do I have a reaction? Irvine.

(02:36:50):
Yeah, you went for me. Yeah, I went before.
You. Yeah.
So silvery barbs. OK, keep namby in a swarm.
As. Long as I.
Can. It misses namby you get.
A 13 actually, no, Hugh gets. Advantage on the next.
Thing, 'cause he's going to fucking.
Create and kill something with it?
Heck yeah. 1st 1:24. To hit yeah, OK, I think I

(02:37:15):
still. Technically have my advantage
from you, Scott, because I haven't done an attack since
then. That's 22 bludgeoning damage.
Have down to. 11 to your swarm MC The octopod is going to after
attacking you it's going to get you can see that the like light

(02:37:40):
flares and changes a little bit and it rotates its head back to
the prison sub. It's going to leave your area
namby so you can have a reactiona the opportunity attack on
yeah, why not as it's turning its direction back.
To the prison sub and looks. Like it's going to go back to
that and I get advantage on thisbecause.

(02:38:01):
The thing that we just talked about and.
I rolled so. Bad 01212. 12 will.
Miss. Yeah.
The Octopod is going to move andgo to the prison sub.
You look like it looks like everything is pretty much
directed toward the prison sub or the attention of a lot of the
the AI swarming toward it at this point.

(02:38:23):
And we are back to the prison sub crew and all of you need to
roll initiative. Big old Nat 20 for 24.
Baby OK. Paolo got a 24.
Sure did, lad. 10/10. Viper 11.

(02:38:45):
For me. 11 for Orblet. A. 19.
Initiative for my orblet. Better than me.
OK, so. I am going to give the.
Two guards there, I'm going to give them a turn that's
technically kind of part of their last initiative turn just

(02:39:06):
because you guys all kind of were able to get down and engage
them. It doesn't.
Then they were not surprised. They will get they'll be able to
have a a turn. They're both going to have to
roll for this confusion to see what happens.
And so D10. OK.
The guy on the right rolled a. 4.

(02:39:26):
That. Creature doesn't move or.
Take actions this turn. OK, he just bends down and he is
like you. Can't see at all and he's just
on his knees, just not not looking like he can do anything.
A guy on the left who's taking alittle bit of damage.
He rolled an 8. The creature uses its action.
To make a melee. Attack against a randomly

(02:39:47):
determined creature within its reach.
If there is no creature within its reach, the creature does
nothing this turn. The only thing in its reach is
orblet. Not his own, not his own person.
Is his buddy. He's 10 feet away.
He's a He's out of his. Reach.
He's on the other. Side.
He's on the other side of the hole.
Fortunate. OK, so he's still blind to that.

(02:40:10):
Oh yeah. He's got a.
Disadvantage on this so it disadvantages.
The 12 to hit Orblet misses, whiffs and just.
Misses, yeah. So that was the beginning of the
turn that that was their entire turn.
So that was their turn from lastinitiative.
They can roll to see if they are.
Still blind today like on 16 the.

(02:40:34):
The guy on the right, the guy who was totally down, he passed
his blindness, so he is not blind anymore.
Paulo, you are up. So Paulo slides down this
ladder. What's he looking at?
He's. Got this pathway in front of
him. Two guys in front of him.
He attacked one if not both, canhe make it past them?

(02:40:54):
And if he does, what's? Beyond that?
Like since he can since they hada turn with.
Their initiative There is another person entering into
initiative. You see in the end of the
hallway, this hallway, which is about 45 feet away, a door
opens. Someone who's a little bit
older, a little bit older looking human, a little bit of
Gray on the sides of his hair steps through.

(02:41:15):
It's got a like a commendation badge on his chest and he's
holding a big rifle. He steps through the door on
either side of the of the the two guys there looks like it's a
little bit of like a mess hall. There's like a dining room table
there, or, you know, just a, a table, a little bit of a kitchen
area. I can't decide.

(02:41:38):
If this is something or being huddling to.
Buy or if these are actual real people, I feel like they're
androids. But that's just that's just me.
Either way, they're bad. Not necessarily, they may.
Think they're they're keeping. Allison because they were.
They're the last bastion of humanity.

(02:42:00):
They're the last, the final stronghold of what we used to
be. And he's looking back.
At at his team. While he's like puzzling this
out and all of that's happening up here, like they're enemies,
they're potential enemies. They're not hearing any of this.
Like it's all happening along the the the Ley lines between

(02:42:23):
Viper and Paolo and Ladd. And then he turns back to.
The guy that just stepped. Out of the doors, the older guy,
right? You described him as looking a
little older. He's got an assault rifle and
before attacking Paulo, kind of he's.
Got his sword. In one hand SMG in the other and

(02:42:47):
he starts to hold him up and he says where were you born
directed at? The the guy that's just stepped
out of the you can. Roll a charisma check to see if
you can get him to. Respond.
It's going to be an 18 on charisma to get him to to want
to respond to you. So do I have a reaction?

(02:43:10):
Like can I apply a reaction to this role because?
Because as a reaction I can. Use a dose of drugs to help me.
I think so. Yeah.
You can use a. Reaction on your turn, Yeah.
That's drugs, Drugs, drugs, drugs.

(02:43:30):
That's me, not him. Tiro, He wouldn't improve, so
he's gonna like, there's a little.
Like raised Ridge on his right shoulder that like presses down
into his his arm and the steam like puffs out and injects a a
dose of nameless into his body as his bonus action, which gives

(02:43:54):
him a 1D4 plus to his charisma checks and one time per hour
gives him advantage on them. So he used both all of that at
one time a a Nat 20. So let's get good.
So you got it, a Nat. 20 for a 21.
For that Christmas check, yes. So you pass it.

(02:44:16):
He he looks at you. And just and says in the
thickest Australian accent that you've you've ever heard.
Fuck off, anarchist. And he raises.
His gun up. And aims it at you.
That was the biggest Australian.Accent I have ever.
Heard. That's why I preface with it.

(02:44:39):
So it's true, but what it? Almost is like you set yourself
up for such like. A a monumental feat that you
have to meet. I knew that I couldn't do it.
That's fair. So I had to describe what it
sounded. Like are am I watching?
Mary Kate and Ashley's Our lips are sealed, yeah.
Something that was uncanny. Weren't the amusing humans in in
Australia? Isn't that what you actually

(02:45:01):
said? Eyebrow.
Yeah, eyebrow Paolo with this? With this weapons app.
Continues to walk slowly forward.
Says I was I, I had been to Sydney.
It was beautiful. I had lots of beers with.

(02:45:22):
Friends, maybe of yours? Maybe not, but if you're living
here, do you know what's out there and if you've surfaced?
Here, you know it's at the core of this.
Thing We're here to liberate her, but only by liberating her

(02:45:45):
can we? Maybe we get you back home.
I don't care what the fuck you hear.
I'm here to kill you that. He just puts his his rifle up in
a very thick Australian accent. So if that wasn't clear.
Note from the. Editor's Booth.
Very thick it was. Described.
As Crocodile Dundee esque. That's not an accent.

(02:46:07):
This is an accent. So.
He looks. Entirely disinterested.
In you, it looks like he is there to do his job.
You know, that's essentially thevibe that you get from that
interaction. Powell has done his best to try
to. Convince the last.
What might be the last human beings on earth living here to

(02:46:28):
put their weapons down, but he's.
His mission's more. Important.
And so you see the like the things depress on his arms and
he like the steam like boosts him forward on a knee and he
slides in toward them. He's going to use his full
movement to get as close as he can toward them to attack twice

(02:46:52):
with his Cortana. That's a Nat 20.
Nice. And that's. 17.
OK, both. Both hit.
OK, I. Think it's.
I think I have one D 8 + 3 22 slashing the image.

(02:47:19):
And because he's drawing it out.Of his sheath, it's that first
slash. I have the opportunity to do an
additional one D 6 + 3, so that's an additional 8 slashing
damage, and I push him back 10 feet if he's still alive.
Oh cool, you push him back, he hits the wall behind.

(02:47:40):
The the door closed behind him, but he like hits the back of it
and you know he hits his head hard.
He takes another five points of damn of bludgeoning damage just
getting shoved against the wall.He's bloodied.
You slice into him. You slice his arm you and and
put a a stab into his side as well.
That just Nicks him on the side.But you look at his arm and you

(02:48:00):
can see muscle down to the bone has sliced into his this
captain's arm. So if I if I have an opportunity
before. The end of of my turn Paulo
would reach out with the like the left hand his left hand is
fully robotic like there's no skin on it it's it's like
clearly mechanical and like grabthe front of his shirt and haul

(02:48:24):
him up like close to him becausehe's he's now he's like face to
face he's front to front and reiterate like I.
Don't want to do. This to you OK.
Viper, you are up. Well, I don't need to.
Identify what that is, because that's definitely.

(02:48:45):
Human, I can see that, but it's.It's not actually me that's.
It's it's my orblet. Yeah, it's orblet.
I'm just going to send my orbletso I can see.
Through my orbital Anyways, I'm just.
Going to send my orbital down now.
Based off our our intelligence, Alice should be towards the

(02:49:10):
front of the submarine. Yeah.
So where we entered, I guess I. Would just know like.
What the front of the submarine goes.
Yep, it would be past the captain through that door.
OK. I would like to send that word.
Blit. It's 30 feet that direction.
And be. Like looking to see there's any

(02:49:32):
other enemies. Any other?
Humans, Yeah. Do you get to?
You just sense everything through that.
I can see through orblet or hear.
But I'm choosing sights and on top of that, there's the the
blind sight radius of 30 feet. Yeah, Orblet flies through the

(02:49:53):
door and. Into this next hallway room and
you see something that's surprising to you.
You see a lot of controls, lots of control panels, all physical,
all analogue. This is like ancient tech
technology that wouldn't connectto computers.

(02:50:15):
You know, there's no data port, there's no places to hack into
this. This is all all analogue like
that. And you realize that this entire
sub is made from this ancient technology that doesn't even use
computers to function. That's what's in this next area
of the hallway. And at the end of this room is a
door. A very large locked door with

(02:50:39):
looks to be a combination lock. Amazing.
What is this like 20s? Era.
What the heck? Oh.
Man, so that's Orblitz. Term.
Viper I think it's. Your turn now man.
Really, if only Dasher were here, he could blow that

(02:50:59):
fucking. Safe.
Open. All right, well.
As. I move.
Forward and I'm I'm. Passing.
Paulo, I put my hand on him so he knows I'm there, 'cause I'm
still invisible. He knows the touch though.
He knows it, and I'm he. He doesn't.

(02:51:20):
Have to be invisible. He just knows what that feeling
is, Kaala. Knows anybody's touch.
He knows Vibrant. And I.
I whisper. If we if we succeed, their lives
lost won't actually, you know, happen.
And I run down the hallway just.Won't let them know like it's

(02:51:43):
fine, like it's. Like it's OK, so.
You're so we'll do your dash speed with.
That. Right.
I need to do that to get in right?
Get there. What's your What's your movement
speed? I'm 30.
OK, so yeah, I'm gonna move, Yeah. 6 feet 4.
And that gets me, that gets you into that room.
Yep. That gets you into that room,

(02:52:03):
but. Not to the the combination.
Lot anything else return Viper. I don't want to say no.
We will. Move along.
OK. That kind of decision made.

(02:52:25):
Yeah, I can't do anything, lad. You are up.
Ben's next to you, but he's looking a little slow.
OK, Ben. So.
Yeah, so. Lad.
You're still kind of in the backof this area, those two guards,
they're still like on the ground.
They haven't used their their any reaction to try and swipe at

(02:52:46):
anybody going by. They're still trying to get
their bearings. They're still, they can't use
reactions either. Yeah.
Oh yeah, they can't even. Yeah, so lad, what would?
You like to do I am going to. Use my.
Full movement to get into the room and kind of get behind

(02:53:07):
Viper, let her do her thing and kind of protect to kind of
facing towards back towards the other room.
Sounds good. I'll take whatever opportunity
attacks I need to you bump into me, the Captain.
Will be able to do it. I think I should be.
Able to see you right? The the captain.

(02:53:27):
Will be able to. Swipe at you as you go by.
That's a nine to hit. Nope.
And. Is that your turn?
Did did it take a dash to? Get there?
If so, then that's my turn. It did take into a dash because
you have. 45 feet of movement, right?

(02:53:50):
It took. It took like.
Just over that to get in the. Room.
So if you want to run around theroom for a couple laps, you you
have enough movement. But just for fun.
Like for fun, how? What's your?
Hit point situation. Paulo and Viper, all my attempts
gone. So I've just got a little nick

(02:54:11):
on my. Myself. 68 out of 77.
I'll hold off then. Yeah, I'm done.
OK, so. It's it's the guards turn and.
They both failed on their confusion, right?
So they're still confused. So they still have to roll AD
10, yes, so. Guy on the right who's not

(02:54:34):
blinded. 4 doesn't move or take any actions.
Great, he's. Still having terrible time guy
on the. Left is his 10.
The creature can act and move normally.
No, but he's the blinded. One.
So he's still blind. Does he get to make a?
He makes a save after it at the end of his turn.

(02:54:58):
Yeah. So he sees you, Paolo, right
next to to him. And because you are he, he has
packed tactics which he gets an advantage on this.
If he's still blind then it's flat.
Wouldn't. Yeah, he is.
Yeah, he is. Yeah, he's still blind, so just
flat. And that's a flat.
That's a nine. How's A9 do?

(02:55:19):
And this is whiff and that's. His turn.
And he can do a con 16 to. Get his sight back.
He gets his sight back. Roll the 19 on the.
Die, they can roll. Wisdom saving throws as well.
Highest is a 10. Nope, I don't think that's going
to work. That was a.

(02:55:41):
Great. Fourth level.
Wow, Captain, You had shoved him, and then you.
Kind of like did your. Grip on him and so you are.
We'll say you're still in melee with him so he can't use his
gun. Let's see, what can you do?
He's going to take out a short sword.
And take 2. Attacks against you, Paulo.

(02:56:03):
First one is A10 to hit miss, second one's a gnat. 1.
Swings. Misses.
Both times Ben's turn he is going to charge forward.
Ben has a base 55 movement speedso he runs up to the captain and
real fast he is going to use Primal Savagery cantrip which

(02:56:27):
grease like forms along his hands and you can just see
they're like dripping with this like grease acid now as he is
going to make a melee strike against him and will hit with a
26 to hit and does 11 points. Of acid.
Damage and Captain's not lookinggood.

(02:56:48):
That is Ben's turn. You hear from the from the back.
You hear from the the Hatch. A century make its way into the
Hatch and it will be joining initiative next round.
And you as you look back all theway where the Hatch was, this
tentacled century now into the prison submarine looking at you

(02:57:09):
with its red eye. Hate that Hugh Namby and Emtero
you are standing on top of an iceberg and you see as the
octopod had is moving toward thethe prison sub.
A lot of AI sentries have made it to the to the prison sub and
we see one go down into the Hatch.

(02:57:29):
You can see the airship that Namby had scared away has made
its way back last turn and will be coming toward you or the
ship, the prison sub. It's coming in close and it will
you, you can sense that it's going to be able to engage
something and it's when it arrives next turn you see the
massive tank in the water, this floating fortress with a rail

(02:57:51):
gun within pretty close range toyou all, and the occupied
submersible is leaving you. The prison submarine, you know
it can make torpedo homing torpedo attacks if you are in
the water. That is what you see while
standing on this iceberg. You it is your turn, so so let.

(02:58:14):
Me get this straight, there's there's.
There's that tank in the water taking 2-3 attacks.
There's a helicopter coming 2. At least three attacks.
And has napalm. Oh, and I'm supposed to take
napalm. Damage right now, right?

(02:58:36):
Yes, you are. What is that?
14 Is that right? This is what Kyle does when you
do 400 and. 44. Damage in one Terry, How much
fire? Damage is the napalm.
I will, I will, I will. Do it again, it's 3D6.
I will say, even though it's badfor.

(02:58:57):
Hugh. Emtero does think it looks
pretty cool that you got fire onyou right now.
Eight, eight points of fire damage, OK.
We're still OK. You are out of your swarm.
Form so is Mt row. Namby is still up here.
I am OK, so oof. If you need a moment to talk
together as. This is happening.

(02:59:17):
You guys need to get out of here.
I'm not going to go like there'sno freaking way.
Hold your action and. Tell him get the fuck out of
here. Man, but how can we be sure that
it's safe to leave Namby? Behind What if?
Everything attacks her the moment we leave.
How much normal? Health do I have?

(02:59:40):
Every one of these fucking things targets you.
Like no I know, that's why I'm saying I have 70 and then. 52
can I survive around by myself with 120 with I mean and your AC
is assuming. Some of it.
Won't hit. I mean, everything hit me when I
got hit, so that would I have an18 which is a terrible, although
these things also hit. Like a 35.

(03:00:01):
So yeah, Kyle's the wrecking house, so.
That's. I could contact sanctuary on
myself if you leave. Just like the wind.
If you leave if you. Out of here I can't protect.
Myself, and I must have. Faith in Namby's.
Ability to protect. Herself, obviously.

(03:00:22):
She's a fierce warrior, the fiercest of us both, it would
seem, The initiative as it is right now.
Is Hugh. Emptiro Bloating fortress with a
real gun. The plane.
The flying plane with the napalmnamby Octopod prison sub What?

(03:00:46):
Remind me, Kyle. What is the mechanic for
activating the page? Is it an action or bonus action?
I would rule it. I would, I would have to rule it
as a spell scroll as an action, action.
OK, Yeah. You would.

(03:01:06):
I'm going to. Make it an action.
Actually. I am going to.
Hold my action. I'm going to ready an action
that when Mtero activates his scroll on his next turn, then I
will activate mine. And I I look at and like Hugh's

(03:01:27):
eyes are welling up. He's he feels like he failed the
mutants and it's not. He's like you have these, you
have to go. I will Huguenot.
I will. We we did everything we could.
And then he squares up. To block in the meantime, block
Mt row. I know he I know Mt row is next,

(03:01:51):
but he squares up to take anything that's needed, but is
not activating his scroll until Mt row does OK on.
Empiro's turn, then I assume you're done.
He will first. He's going to give a Bartok
inspiration to Namby before he does anything.
We will be with you in spirit. You must read the paper if you

(03:02:15):
are in even close to grave danger.
Even close. I will follow as soon.
As I can, I promise. And then with the because of
because I. Turned this thing into a living
item. I can on my bonus action do a
Bartok inspiration and command it, and I just command it to
attack the fucking octopus untilit's dead.

(03:02:35):
So that's what it will do after I read this paper, which I
suppose I will pull out my mother ship paper and start
reading that story. You pull.
Up pull out the mothership paperand.
And activate it and the letters shine gold and a golden portal
opens near you with pages swirling all around it and and

(03:02:59):
tyro you step through and the portal closes and tyro is out
seeing that. I look up at Naomi.
Is they? We will find each other again, I
promise. And I activate my page.
You you activate the page and. The portal forms.
You step through and Hugh is out.

(03:03:23):
Oh my God, I'm all alone. Hey my animated items.
With you. Technically it's it's.
Turn right now. This is scary.
What is? What would you like it to do for
its? Turn It's moving toward the.
Octopus and attacking it. OK, great.
Yeah, I've rolled some attacks. All right, I think it really is
just one attack. Fucking why do I even bother

(03:03:48):
trying to do anything? 11 to hit yeah, won't it?
Sorry. Yeah great.
It's an. Iceberg.
How does it move? Is it?
Well, I said it. Melted into like a giant squid.
Shape. So it was like an ice.
It was trying to fail. Yeah, it's right.
Oh wow, failed all. Right, here we go, the floating
fortress. Railgun turns to you.
Namby and fires its railgun, so give me a dexterity saving.

(03:04:14):
Throw and you've. Got a bartik?
Thank you. That's an 18, but these have
been really. High so I'm going to roll a
bardic. Do I get advantage on?
That Scott if it's a saving throw, no.
When you. Use it for a saving throw you.
Get hit temporary hit points equal to what you.

(03:04:35):
Rolled +4. Well, I rolled one sick.
Do you find temp HP that's goingto save?
You when you're. When you're up.
That will save me, yeah. But so.
That Kyle, that is a. 19 total you save the real gun Revs
through for. Half of 51, so 25 halved, 25 was

(03:04:59):
halved. Yep.
So 12, yeah, because it's damage.
That you have as a swarm still. Cool, I'm at 63, good to go.
And then it makes. 2 Rotary. Cannon attacks.
No it doesn't. It's a Nat 20.
On the 1st Rotary. Cannon.
That's rude. That's fucking rude all.
Right 20. 28. Piercing.

(03:05:21):
Down to 14 OK she's cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool
cool cool you don't happen to beby my.
Spectral barricade, are you? No idea?
No, that's on like the sun. Does a 17 hit you?
No. Missus fires.
Guys, I'm gonna live forever. The plane.
Flies in and as it's flying. In it is going to fire off 2

(03:05:45):
missiles at you. Why is that?
You first is a 14 to hit. No misses.
You dodge past one of the. Missiles.
Second one is a 28 to hit yes and.
That will be. 13 piercing damage.

(03:06:05):
Down to 6 OK, plus 11 Thunder damage.
Not halved. OK.
And it does get. 3 Ranged. Attacks, but it now has to use a
Rotary. Cannon so it has to use a.
Rotary cannon as it gets closer to you.
OK. And that is a Nat 20.

(03:06:28):
Kyle, it's like your 5th or 6th 1.
Yeah. He's rolling with advantage, I
think, yeah. That is 38 piercing damage.
Oh my God. ABS to. 19.
Yes, hey, I'm still a swarm. OK.
Barely. It is your turn.
Oh my God. OK.

(03:06:50):
That was a lot. Oh, Nami made it OK.
OK. All right, you're going to live
forever. No, that was.
Brooke that. Was not what Namby was thinking.
Namby was scared out of her mindbut holding strong because I
think this is kind of a big moment for Namby.
Like she she is the person to defend her friends and like her

(03:07:16):
friends had to leave and she is still here and she is facing
danger and things that are really scary and she's freaking
out. But she's here and she's doing
it. And I think finding strength in
that moment is kind of like a big a big deal for Namby.
But she can't process all of that right now because she has

(03:07:38):
to not die. So do I get?
I get the impression that thingsthese things will.
Start attacking. The sub if I am not here, can I?
You probably won't let me do. This but I have to.
Ask can I cast sanctuary on the sub?
I'm sure I can't. It has to be creature the the

(03:07:59):
the prison. 'S submarine, Yeah, no, I can't
do that. That's well, I mean.
It's not a. Creature.
But like, have we? I mean, that's what the spell
says. You ward a creature.
But what if you're like a cool swarm monster?
It's. Got a?
It's got a step. Block I'm inclined to want to

(03:08:22):
say yes, I mean it's like AI mean it's a vehicle, but in this
world we've kind of just made things creatures that are, you
know, like actual AI powered things.
You know what? I can't.
I this this submarine's different, though.
It's not that. Like an AI.

(03:08:42):
Yeah, I was. Just hoping we weren't.
Gonna fit logic through that 'cause.
You were like, this thing's handling as hell.
There's no way, you know? Yeah.
No, that. No, that's OK.
I. Knew I was.
I knew I. Was reaching with that one.
I got there a minute slower thanScott did.
But I got there. I knew you.
Would if you just if you kept thinking about.
It at all I. Was like, no, gosh.

(03:09:02):
And it's an action. To leave and I have.
To leave, I mean, I, I don't have that much health as namby.
I I can't keep taking these hits.
I don't think I have anything I can do.
That will help them. So if you will allow it, can I
use my movement? To maybe?

(03:09:25):
Get something to follow me and then I will hold my action.
Give me a deception roll, OK? Cut.
The four no. They track you, but just the
same as they. Always track.
You and they don't, they don't really follow you.
The plane doesn't. They just kind of, you know,

(03:09:47):
they follow you with your weapons, but you're not fooling
anything to to change course. Like the octopod kind of looks
back and doesn't doesn't seem fooled.
Would I still be able to take atleast one?
Attack from them at the distanceI'm at if I move like a decent
distance away. Basically what I want to do is

(03:10:08):
get one attack to come at me andthen hold my action to use the
page once I take damage let's say.
Could you hold it to once you? Drop Swarm.
Form or once you hit a certain threshold to read it or
something. I mean, if Kyle would allow it
if you hold an action. To after you take damage but.
When you take the damage, you'reprobably activating an effect or

(03:10:30):
you just want to get hit one more time.
I just wanted to take one more hit that that's rather.
Than hit. Yep, yeah.
That's good. I like that.
OK, I will do that then. Cool.
I do have AI do have. A bonus.
Action. Can I do a bonus action and then
hold an action? Think so, yeah.
Yeah. I'm gonna I still.

(03:10:51):
Have my spiritual. Weapon up.
I'm just gonna hit the octopus. I have rolled so many Dang
fives. On this stupid.
Spiritual weapon? That's another 12.
OK, I'm just standing here waiting for them to hit me.
But it was a really cool moment of like.
Self realization. Even though you did not do
anything, I'm doing it. I'm standing.

(03:11:12):
Here this was. Someone who didn't.
Think they could even. Jump across an.
Alligator pit in the first episode and now looking standing
down in AI like flying in the air staring down a.
Bunch of monsters. That are about to try and hit me
and taking the hit like a hero. The.

(03:11:32):
Octopod. Swims.
Toward to toward the prison sub,he takes an opportunity attack
from my yes. He does guy.
All right, this. Fucker's gonna hit.
I believe it. OK.
Does an 18 hit? Yeah, 18 hits.
That's good. We're going to do something.

(03:11:56):
Okay, so that's 11 force damage.Okay, so he's dead, right?
Hits it as he goes away. And the.
The octopod makes its way to thethe prison sub, climbs on top,
and then one of the arms tentacles detaches and like
spreads out and like crawls downinto the hatches.

(03:12:17):
No, he had 10 feet less of movement.
If that. Matters at all.
He has 90 feet of sub all right.I didn't think it would.
That's a ask, you know. OK, we.
Are back. To the.
Prison. Crew the the sub crew at the
top. Paulo.
Paulo, you are engaged with thiscaptain.

(03:12:38):
He's looking pretty bad. Ben is right next to you.
The rest of the crew is through the door behind the captain in
the next room. Are we looking at what what you
know? Past this captain looks like the
bridge looks like the the Control Center of this.
Boat. Yeah, it's like the you would if
the door swung. Open a little bit, you'd see a
lot of controls in the next room, like seemingly controlling

(03:13:01):
parts of the sub. All right, Paolo's past caring
about feelings. Now, so he's gonna like, if he's
got this captain in his left hand, he's gonna like stalk
forward into the bridge, dragging the captain by his, you
know, uniform into the bridge and make a room like with this

(03:13:24):
sword, kind of like backing people out around him.
Give him giving him some space and he's gonna not throw the
captain down, but just like set him down in the middle of this
and and bend down onto. One knee.
One. Mechanical knee and like, haul
him close and he's going to impress upon him again.

(03:13:46):
Sword here, hand here. We can do this one way or we
could do it another way. We're here to help you help us.
And he kind of looks around. At all.
The apparent human beings on this bridge help you.
Give me a persuasion roll. Oh baby.

(03:14:10):
Looks at you and he's assessing the.
Situation, he looks. Pretty bad, got a + 4.
Do a 15 for a 19. He drops his sword.
Puts his hands up so that you know Paolo.
Big old Cortana in one hand, like at his neck.

(03:14:38):
Slides it back into the the sheath on his.
Back opens his hand up, everybody can see empty hand and
kind of like props him up on hisfeet like an adult might do.
To a 3 or 4. Year old just like boop up on
your feet. There you go, 'cause it, you
know, Paolo's an Android. He's got far more strength than

(03:15:02):
these human beings who've been here for the last 100 years, 175
years. It's like pops him up on his
feet and then stands up with himand kind of pops him on the
shoulder like. Good.
We work together now. Yeah.
Because. I don't want you to be living
the rest of your life in this sub, and I don't want to be

(03:15:23):
living the rest of the life in this gesturing in himself.
And he? Points the Viper and he's like
just let her do what? She needs to.
Do you tell us where, Alice? Is she's invisible, She's that's
true. Points.
And points. At a completely invisible
person. Is like you let her do what she

(03:15:46):
needs to do. You tell us where Alice is,
we'll figure this all out, OK? And he's gonna kind of.
Nod at Viper and ask her to de cloak.
Why? Why?
We are we, we need to be impressive.
Right now we. Need to.
We need to. Gain allies.

(03:16:07):
We need to gain people on the sub to our side, OK?
I did cloak. Myself.
Who are? Who are?
You mate, what the? Hell is this.
I think yeah. So like at this point, he's
given up. I I, I don't think he's going to
be able to give up any more information like at this point,

(03:16:29):
like not an additional persuasion role.
But I think just like you guys, since you had seen like the
schematics of the ship, you knowthat it's like, you do know
where she is, like she's like had like front ahead.
So if Paulo's like looking for like more information to like
see, it's tough to find it or hesuspects it's a trick, he then

(03:16:50):
then that's one thing, I suppose.
But you do have Intel on where she is.
OK, I I guess he's mostly looking.
For an assertion or or an affirmative statement from what
might be the last human beings on this planet that they're not
going to backstab him. I had him roll insight.
He rolled. Really.
Low, so he just still isn't. Questioning what?

(03:17:12):
He's not really understanding. He's not really he, he's not
getting anything from this. All right at that.
So. Paulo's going to direct Ladd and
and Viper who are behind him to like head that direction, head
head to Alice and. Paulo's going.

(03:17:35):
To kind of like. Present the front.
Like you're talking with me now.If you want to get past me, if
you want to cause any problems, you're going to have to go
through me. But he's going to make way like
he's he's paving the path for for Ladd and and Viper to go
behind him to find Alice. OK.

(03:17:57):
So yeah, you are in the control room then?
Captain and the thugs are just confused behind and that's the
end of your turn. You hear a crash as the AI
sentry drops down through the Hatch and starts flying toward
you through the through the bottom of the Hatch.
It's going to just use a dash action of 60 feet of movement to

(03:18:18):
get. Let's see how far that gets.
I reactivate. Invisibility it.
Crashes with that 60 feet of movement that gets it.
Right. Inside the door and bursts in
right behind you as this AI sentry, the Tentacled 1 is right
there ready to attack, but it can't do anything else on its
turn. Well, actually it does have a

(03:18:39):
bonus action. It can attempt to grapple a
creature right next to it, so it's going to try and grapple
you, Paolo, and it's a 12 it gotso you have to beat a 12 with
the athletics or acrobatics. It's a 13 base before.
Any of my votes? Cool.
We're good, we're good. So it tries to grapple.
You were able to get the the tentacle off.

(03:19:01):
It is Orblet's turn. Orblet's just kind of help
action. Viper when she gets to the combo
lock thing over by there. OK, cool.
Next is. A long tentacle that crawls down
the Hatch and starts crawling and making its way.

(03:19:22):
It can't get all the way to the door, but it gets about 10 feet
from it and it is your turn, Viper.
Excellent. So I.
Immediately go to the lock and you use my hacking.
Tools that I've. Never used for this type of non

(03:19:43):
technology before. But hacking tools are hacking.
Tools. Yes, they are.
You have heard about. Opening safes.
Maybe you have a couple times before or this type of lock on a
door, but it is it with your skills, you try to put together
what you can. It is ADC 20.

(03:20:04):
You do get ADC 20. It's not harder than that.
But that's what we're looking for and I'm getting advantage
because what wordblit's? Helping me yes orblitz listening
to the. Clicks as you turn the dial.
Is there any other way any of uscan help?
Her in this moment, unless you get a bardic or something

(03:20:24):
something that. Can add to an ability to, I can
give guidance, but we're an initiative, so I can't, OK.
Ever do it OK. That's 12 plus 6 because it's.
So that's eighteen. Oh, and that was with advantage.

(03:20:49):
Yeah. You think you just you think you
got it, but then you. Don't it's like.
The last click you didn't get right pull on the door doesn't
open lad, you are up. Let's see.
I am going to, yeah, I guess thebest.

(03:21:09):
Thing that I can do is assist. Viper, Yeah.
So I will give her guidance. Yeah, get her through that door
into that. AI.
And I'm just going to face back towards.
Where everything is coming from?With my shield up, OK, kind of
protect her. Got it.

(03:21:29):
Ben is there and he's. Going to cast decompose on the
AI and he's going to use the highest spell slot he.
Can let's. Go bad, he hits.
Excellent. And he is going.
To cast it, a fourth level does 20 points of damage to the to

(03:21:53):
the sentry in the doorway, and that is his turn.
He's going to try and block Viper as well and stand to stand
guard back up to the top at Paulo, so they I think I'm right
at the door. Is there a way I?

(03:22:15):
Can ensure. I can try to get this door open
for Viper. You don't think so?
It looks pretty tough. Looks like the only way through
this huge bolted door is by getting the combination.
OK, Piper's already. Working on it so all that I can
do. Is give her all the opportunity
that I can to get it right. Paolo's going to step out behind

(03:22:40):
her like 1 palm on the back of her like between your shoulder
blades, letting her know that he's There he goes.
I've seen you dance across the lines of the.
Net slide. Through ice like it's nothing.
You can do this. And then he takes his hand.
Away and like clasps it across, you know, two hands across the

(03:23:02):
hilt of his sword and then stepsup into the animated to defend
her. So he's going to attack the
nearest bot human, whatever it is next to her to to make sure
that she has the room that she needs.
Yep, it's the Yep, AI Sentry. Go ahead, make some attacks.
It's. 9 Probably. Mixes and another nine misses.

(03:23:29):
Wow, 2 twos in a row. Jesus.
He just swings twice and misses twice.
And. Maybe overcome by emotion
doesn't hit what he's aiming at,but he's he's standing tall
between him, you know, between Viper and whatever else is

(03:23:50):
trying to menace her. OK, centre's going to make 2.
Attacks first one is a 17 to hiton you Apollo that hits 13
points of. Bludgeoning damage second. 1 is
a 25 to hit. Yeah, yeah, that'll hit. 15
points of bludgeoning damage, all right.

(03:24:11):
And it actually gets three attacks.
I misspoke. 14 to hit. Misses, misses.
It's going to. Use a bonus action to try.
And well, actually, yeah, it didn't grapple you.
It's going to try and grapple you this time again as bonus
action with one of its tentacles.
That is a 12th that you have to beat with an Athletics or

(03:24:31):
Acrobatics. I hit that.
No, I hit it. Yeah, I hit a 14.
Flat roll. OK, we beat that.
Good it is. Orblet's turn Is Orblet's going
to help you help? Action again, Tentacle.
Makes its way in just single tentacle.
Makes its way in through the door is going to attack at the

(03:24:52):
person standing in front. Paulo and is going to make one
technical attack for an 11 to hit misses, misses and that is
its turn and Viper you are up all right, so Viper does hear.
Paolo give her the motivation and she takes on motivation and

(03:25:14):
rolls with it. She's got guidance from Ladd and
help from Orblet. Names are.
Escaping. Me now.
OK, so that's a 13 + 6 is an 18/19/19, so you get.

(03:25:38):
It. Oh, you need is a one that's.
A2. That's 21.
That's good, guys. Oh my.
Gosh, you think, oh, you're get to that last click and you're
like I. Don't know is this going to
click? Is this going to work?
And clicks and then these like Pistons like come out from the
door and it swings open and before you, what you see is a

(03:26:02):
room that is sort of at the bottom.
We're kind of in the mid bottom section of the front of the sub.
But you can see these big like glass windows around the front
and just some kind of a comfortable living space, a
small bed, a table. There's not much in here, but it
looks fairly comfortable. And you see a girl, a young girl

(03:26:25):
with blonde hair, and she walks up to you and walks up to the
door. And if you are in tune to the to
the technology, which all of youare, all of you are AI, you can
feel the presence of her almost like radiating off of her.
And as she like steps forward toward the door, the AI sentries

(03:26:46):
behind you collapse in a pile and just deactivate as she walks
through and basically takes control of their functions.
And she looks up to you and she says thank you.
It's been a long time. I really thought he could do.

(03:27:08):
It L 10. I'm sorry.
I gave up Pihachi. I'm sorry, I gave it to.
Him maybe? We can save him and she reaches
out and. To you.
Viper, she touches you, and suddenly Viper you.

(03:27:31):
Have a wave. Of memories just click back into
place and Viper. You remember human Viper
escaping Hihachi and in the chaos trying to find her sister
Lorelei, She searched as hard asshe could, following a trail.
That led to the middle. Of the AI encampment and Viper
in her attempts to infiltrate the encampment.

(03:27:53):
Was. Captured and her memories taken
from her. You remember waking up as the
Android? AI version of Viper.
Being reunited with the AI version of your sister, Hihachi
quickly realized your bond was. Too strong?
The memories too engraved in your stories and that every time
you were with your sister, you remembered the past and could

(03:28:14):
fight against orders and attemptto help the humans together.
With your sister not being able to delete those memories,
Hihachi separated you 2 and created a receiver so you could
still use your sending tack to talk with a version of Lorelei
that fit with what you wanted her to be.
This kept you rooted in the story, determined to help your
sister as you unknowingly continued on missions with Ben

(03:28:39):
to help deliver humans to Hihachi.
She steps forward to you, Paulo,and reaches out and touches your
hand, and your memories return after Hihachi had taken control
of L. 10 human. Paulo had escaped with the
others and provided immediate shelter for the group.
Convinced by Ladd's consistent, compassionate outlook, Paulo

(03:29:01):
worked with him to take the first steps to get away from
addiction. He also organized the Streets
with Ben to create. A small.
Urban army covertly moving supplies, providing resources to
the people remaining in New Lisbon City.
He was successful at it until hewasn't and was captured by the
AI. You remember waking up as the

(03:29:23):
Android? Version of Paolo.
Receiving orders from Hihachi, but fighting against them until
Hihachi realized you needed to believe what you were doing was
good. Suddenly you remember scenarios
playing themselves out over and over again.
Ben bringing someone to the garage, you leading the group
against the AI over the bridge, failing and succeeding at
different parts of the journey each time arriving at New Lisbon

(03:29:46):
each time. Finding out your true nature,
being devastated at what you truly were and giving up the
human or humans you were with. Then your memory resets,
starting over from the beginning.
Over and over. She walks up to you, lad.
And touches you and. Lad, you remember human lad

(03:30:06):
escaping Hihachi and withdrawinginto himself, overwhelmed by the
outcome of Dasher dying, L 10 being corrupted, the plan
failing and you yourself failing.
Lad didn't know how to move forward until his new.
Ally Paulo. Asked him for help.
No longer on the front lines, hehelped the human resistance

(03:30:26):
against the AI by healing the wounded, creating makeshift
clinics in old buildings and back alleyways.
Ladd helped a lot of people. Until the AI.
Raided one of the makeshift clinics, taking the memories of
the sick and wounded and taking his as well.
You remember waking up as the Android AI version of Ladd and

(03:30:46):
being set aside as the AI had nouse for a healer.
You know that you were stagnant and powered down for many, many
years until you joined Paulo andthe rest of the crew on their
missions to capture other humans.
You remember being used as a prop in the secret hideout,

(03:31:08):
mostly tasked with cleaning it daily until Ben would show up
with a new recruit. She reaches over and.
And has a moment with. Ben biofuel as well and you see
Ben's eyes go wide and close hiseyes and you just see a little
drop of oil leak out from his eyes and she says looks to you

(03:31:30):
all. And says.
You think there's a way? You think we can do it?
You have to. This can't.
Be our future. We need your help, Alice.
OK. Let's do it.

(03:31:51):
And she strides. Forward and just walks with a
confidence this little girl AI with the blonde hair and you
just feel her radiating this technological eminence from her.
And that. Is where we're going to end this
chapter of Expedition Untold. Thank you to all the players
this week, Scott, Brooke and Becca and Kitty.
