(00:00):
Fellas, you ready to do this? Yeah, yeah, Let's get to it.
Good morning, good afternoon andgood evening and welcome to the
world of Humbrea, featuring three first time adventurers and
one very patient DM. This is D and D4 O 4.
Welcome to session 143. We pick up in the midst of the

(00:24):
Throne of Creation as a large sunburst stream came bursting
through the well in the center of the Throne of Creation's
platform, splitting A rift within the platform, separating
the platform into multiple islands of blood shards and
black marble. The three of you are now

(00:46):
separated. It looks like each of these
platforms are about 20 up to 40 feet away from one another.
With a big athletics check, you might be able to jump from one
another, if not maybe able to teleport or fly.
Right now. On the center platform next to
the well is Menace, staring downone of these crystal vessels

(01:07):
that are appearing. Drell had just killed a vessel
before him, while Armos and menaces spiritual weapons.
Sid are alone on another bloodshot island to the
southeast. The blood ocean is roaring but
still waving in a rhythmic motion that you notice from last

(01:27):
session. Every time the waves clash and
come together, it sounds like contractions, the contractions
of a heartbeat. And as you look all around this
vast room in the shape of a Domewith the image of the moon high
above and down below in the wellwith Cumbria in the distance
with the moon overshadowing it, you hear the of the room

(01:53):
pulsating. You're currently on Initiative
16, which is Drell on Initiative16.
That's when the platform has separated.
It's all these islands. And before him is just a cloud
of blood shards from the crystalthat you've slain.
But you notice that he does reform after a certain amount of
time. Drell, what are you?

(02:15):
Doing. You know what I am going to take
a full action drink a supreme healing potion.
So it's 60 HP. I get back just huge.
I think that's probably going tobe my turn.
I'm just probably going to yell to armos and minutes and I'm
just going to say I'll take careof this one and you guys take
care of that one. But let me know if you guys need

(02:36):
help. I can try to make my way over
there I'm. Going to go back to the top of
the round initiative, 23 minutes.
My branchy trimisform kind of like misshapes and shapes around
a crystal as I kind of do this. Tuck and roll behind him and as
a bonus action taking a potion. It almost like breaks into me
and like seeps into my roots andI'm taking my last superior

(02:59):
healing potion and then I'm justgoing to make 2 attacks with my
sling at him. Geez.
First one is a 31. It's.
And the second one is a 25. It's.
So that is going to be 17 pointsof force damage plus by and

(03:20):
large, and the SIDS are gonna add 8 to that.
As you tuck and roll through himyou smash the potion within your
trim is form and as you shoot some of these shots he speaks to
you. Now you hear his voice within
your mind and he speaks as if his mouth is moving normally
because you see him as his minotaur version almost.
You see him as his crystalline self and you notice that Menace

(03:44):
is looking up at him or now eye level because Menace is bigger.
But you see that his where Menace's eyesight is looking is
not where his actual eyes are due to like the image that he's
projecting onto Menace and thereis no mouth moving.
But you also hear what he says and a crystal looks at you
Menace and he goes. There is no need for ailments

(04:05):
because I do not plan off too. Quickly I will dream so.
The retort for menace. This is just focused.
As you leer at him intensely, we're going to move to
Initiative 20, which is almost an Alaire action.
Almost. You're going to go first.
Can I do a perception check on the surrounding, specifically

(04:31):
the northern throne area that seems to be unchanged?
So the physical throne to your Nwhere all these blood shots seem
to be splintering from the show.Emphasis on an actual physical
seat is what you're trying to look for, and you're trying to
look for any changes from when the island split.
That and now that we saw that there was 2 Christos and one of

(04:52):
them died and that this other one's still standing, he
obviously knows the the stories about the the phalactory and yet
obviously has to know that something's going on here.
We haven't destroyed it. We've heard tales about it.
It has to be somewhere in this room.
So there's a couple of things you can do here because you have
been told certain things about the phalactory and it's borns.

(05:13):
So if you want to make a perception check or a history
check of some kind. History.
I love that for me and a 20. 6 So you know that on this
speculation of Boden and Lord Baron, now you're thinking back
to Lord Baron's divider. It was theorized that Crystal
was a lich. A lich's main source of power is
a phalactery and without it theycan either just die off

(05:35):
completely or if it's goes unfedon, fueled or maintained, they
can transform and potentially die off from there like a Demi
lich or something of that nature.
The Demi liches are like starvedversion of liches.
Or they could transform it to something else.
You know that a crystal's being well fed and a matter of fact
you have been feeding him and you think back to all the times

(06:00):
that you've assisted with crystal because you've been
building this bridge and you've been absorbing so blood shards
to feed him. That was a part of your
agreement. It was written in blood when you
had made an agreement for him for power when you were given
Reginald. There is this one line that
you've heard over and over againuntil the bridge was complete.
The line is charge the acrylic and fill the well, and it was

(06:23):
always followed with raise the bridge so our worlds could
become bonded once again. But the words charge the acrylic
and fill the well. You know that the well was at
the beginning of the bridge thatyou've always had flashbacks to
whenever you have had meetings with a crystal or these visions
of a crystal, these visions of Bei Loon.
And it was a well that had disappeared when you actually

(06:44):
came to Bei Loon, and now you see a similar version of it.
But whenever you fed the well, the spirits went to a specific
location, and that was the bluish telish moon that was high
in the sky in Bei Loon always made a stream of energy.
All the souls that you fed, all the blood shards turned into
this light bluish energy, the same bluish energy that came

(07:07):
from the false hydra. Or whenever you freed some type
of powerful demonic source. All these souls flew out,
whether they went to their own afterlife or to the moon in
Beilu. And that is where you think your
next place is to be. You think the moon is something

(07:28):
of great importance, not the throne.
It's all flown back to me as allthese conversations are flooding
back to me and as the battleground kind of shaped and
tore us all apart, the camera panning around our most all of a
sudden looks up to the the sky and has just a damn it kind of
moment. And I don't know if it's

(07:52):
possible, but he's going to giveit a shot anyways.
He's going to try to eldrig blast it because that's my far
this range spell. I doubt it's going to hit it,
but I'm also going to use two ofthe blasts on the moon that if
it's possible to even get reached that far, and then two
on a Christo that's in the middle.
I rolled a hit on a crystal 1st and then we'll roll the hit the

(08:13):
one high above. 32 to hit. 32 hits.
And a 19. That is going to miss.
OK, nine points of damage hit back 10 feet and loses 10
movement. You see that the vessel, a
Christo in front of Meniscus, slides back 10 feet.
As you see your Elgis blast goesfrom like this purple, and as it

(08:35):
goes to connect to him specifically, your Elgis blast
turns like this bright blue, thesame color as your acrilla Shard
that's in your tone, and then the two go for the moon as you
shoot up. You shoot these spells up and as
the two bolts spin and entwine with each other it seems like it
almost goes out of sight and then fades.

(08:56):
Do not see the impact and then after about a second or two you
see a boom as if it hit a wall of some kind as the energy
disperses. It did not land on the moon, but
you felt like you could see, like.
Is there any kind of distortion in the moon or is it still solid
and. Still solid.

(09:17):
You don't think you made a connection to it.
It felt like something stopped it along the way, but it just
you just heard sounds of thuds. Knowing that information, the
last thing I'll do is just shoutout to the guys.
It's the moon, it's been the moon.
That's all time. Why didn't I think of that?
Insert clip from episode from session 140 where Drell goes the

(09:41):
moon menace. It's the moon.
See, that's what I've been telling you guys.
That's my trick. As we stay on Initiative 20
there is a lair action as the asthe crystal begins to reform in
front of Drell as it begins to retake shape.
Except you now see blood shots from the floor build into its

(10:03):
feet, and you see more come fromthe air around him as he is now
considered large as he takes a bigger shape standing at 12 feet
tall. You also see blood shards from
the pedestal that Menace is on, the one you just shot 2 Eldridge
blasts on. You see more of these blood
shards form into its body as if it's trying to heal from the 2

(10:26):
Eldridge blasts and the slingshots.
Then we're gonna move to initiative 18, which is a
Christo. The first one in front of Drell
is going to take two attack actions against him.
That's going to be 18 to miss getting lucky, getting lucky 23.
Misses because of menaces plus one.
Well, I also have +3. Oh wait, let me see where my

(10:48):
staff goes actually. For those listening, wow he is 1
foot from not being in that area.
One square and he's not in that radius.
Yeah, so I would also like to use a reaction to repost one of
his missed attacks. I normally always miss these,
but come on Drill that is going to be a 28 to hit that hit.

(11:13):
Nice. That is going to be 28 points of
damage. 28 points of damage and he's going to take a reaction on
your reaction and he's going to use a rebuke.
Oh my God, make me a Constitution savory throw with
DC 20. That is a 27.
You pass as you're going to takehalf of 16 points in the chronic

(11:34):
damage. He teleports 15 feet away as he
tries to get some distance from you as he spreads it to like
this, the chronic mist and teleports away.
A Christo on the center platformis going to use his action and
he is going to attack Menace. He's going to move 15 feet in
front of you, Menace, as he's just on the edge of the well,

(11:57):
and he's going to try to hit youwith the gauntlet with a natural
one. Wow.
Wow indeed. Beat his ass menace.
I'm trying. And his second and last attack
is going to be a 2820 points of magical bludgeoning damage with
an additional five points in thecrowded damage as he just

(12:17):
punches through your tree branches.
That's going to be end of a Christos turn as he moved to
Initiative 16 drill. Right.
So I'm going to move the 15 feettowards the Christo and I'm
going to continue to attack him.That is a Nat 20.
Double the. Dice Double the dice Second
attack is a second Nat 20. Wow, oh wow.

(12:43):
Yeah, this is for my friends andmy third attack Wah wah wah is a
12, so that is 74 damage. Oh.
He is so standing, but you see as you're laying into him,
you're fighting another Goliath.That's the image he's projecting
onto you. And as you're slashing into him,
your, your axe is going through his body and where blood would

(13:06):
be or just broken crystals, blood shards instead of organs
and such. And you're cutting through them
very easily. It's like a hot, you know, like
a hot knife through butter. And it's just, he's just looking
at you. He is not reacting to the pain.
Does he have a weapon of some? Sort.
He does not. He still has the massive Ruby

(13:27):
gauntlet that he's been hitting you with.
That's the only thing that's showing his true form.
So I'm gonna use a disarming strike.
I don't know if it's gonna work.It says when you hit with a
weapon attack you could spend 1 superiority die and add it to
the damage to disarm the target if it fails to strength.
Saving throw of ADC 19. So there is nothing to disarm

(13:48):
here. OK, because he's not holding
anything physically, it's his body he's attacking you with.
But you could still add the damage.
Rad OK, cool. I'm gonna do that then yeah,
that is an additional 8 damage. You see his body very loose and
matter of fact this corso is notconnected, but you see these
blood shards in between and these blue sparks of like almost

(14:10):
lightning that are like tethering him together.
As you see that the blood shardsare trying to reconnect but your
axe because of the your gem that's in the axe is like
stopping it from reforming. Yes, it's causing it to slow
down to. Fuel OK and then I would like to
use my Great Weapon Master attack, which on your turn when
you score a critical hit with a melee attack or reduce a

(14:33):
creature TO0HP, you can make oneadditional melee weapon attack
with a bonus action. Wow.
Yeah, go ahead, roll the hit. So I'm gonna use that.
That is going, oh, I'm not gonna.
That's a 23 to hit that. Hits.
A31 additional damage, 8 break. All these tiny blood shards.
See you later, bucko. You may break down over and

(14:56):
over. I'm sorry, what's talking right
now? And.
I will always. This pile of shrubs.
Come back, I will always be here.
You hear this voice reverberate within your mind and we're going
to move to initiative. 23 minutes.
You're breaking another potion on myself, but this time it's
one of drills potions. Are there brews?

(15:18):
Thank you very. Much it is a brew, correct?
And this brew seeps into my roots as I glow whatever color
the Swift Thistle potion. Is is that the movement one?
That is the. Decks.
Oh, that one is definitely like a neon green.
Neon green glows through my rocks and root veins, and then

(15:40):
I'm going to keep attacking Christa with my sling.
I need to take care of this one first before I think about my
next move, all right, the first one is 32 to hit hits, and the
second one is 19 to hit. All right, but the first one
does hit. It could take 17 points of force
damage from the attack, and thenmy SIDS and my large form gives

(16:04):
me 8 more points of force damagefor 25 total.
You see this large minotaur barely holding on as the
lightning like energy tries to reconnect body parts back
together as it stares at you angrily.
Almost. Help him in the drawer out as we
move to initiative 20. Almost.

(16:26):
It's still the moon, you guys. You got to go for the He's still
on his tirade about this. The moon when he sees the moon.
You're right, he will go down soon.
Oh no. Almost.
I don't think they get it. I don't think they do.
Keep coming back. He grabs almost by the horn, so
he like turns to face him and say go face to face.
We're just gonna keep coming back.

(16:47):
Almost. I'm gonna Eldrick blast the guy
in the middle 26212321. Let's go.
Four piece. So that's 40 feet 10 minus
movement. Or he gets hit off the platform.
You see as he gets knocked back 40 feet with each additional

(17:07):
blast dissipates into a cloud ofblood shards as you see his face
the last thing to dissolve as there's just this plume of blood
shards floating off the edge of these islands over the blood
raging Red Sea. I'm going to run and jump off

(17:28):
the platform that I'm at and then as I make it the furthest
distance possible, then I'm going to misty step to next to
yes. Huh.
And you teleport using a misty step on to the center platform.
When you get over there, my twigface kind of comes out like Iron
Man and you see me. This is real face.

(17:49):
Sorry, it's hard to hear you when I'm in here.
What's up Armos? Oh my God, it's so weird.
First off, that was horrifying. We're surrounded by all this
monstrosity and that was the most disturbing thing I've seen
today. That right there.
Don't do that again. Put it away.
Nope. OK, yeah, our showers going all.
Why? What are we doing?

(18:09):
It's the moon, I, I point up to the sky, but then I, I think
it's reflecting off of this thing down here.
And he points down the well. Shall we destroy the well?
Yes. Well, well, well.
God, this reminds me of like Lord of the Rings, the yeah, the
tree guy, tree beard, where he'sjust like, well, Mr. Pipp, you

(18:30):
know, like. You see Reginald as you're
saying that he like looks down the well that's like wind softly
blows through his fur. He's like he's going to high up
though as we stay on Initiative 20, which is Blair action and
you see that the blood shards over the sea begin to reform as

(18:53):
he slowly floats back onto the platform as the giant one from
Drill begins to reform as well and you see that a second one
coming from the well, 1/3 of Christo now appears on the
center platform close to Armos as you see the stream of energy

(19:14):
come from the well as blood shots begin to take form from
the platform that you are standing on.
And they now make a third of Christo as we move to Initiative
18, which is a Christo. New form 1 is going to go up to
Armos and is going to make 2 attacks against him with his
Ruby Garlet. That is a Nat 20 and a Nat and a

(19:37):
dirty 30. You're going to take a total of
54 points of magical bludgeoningdamage from those two hits, and
an additional 16 points on the chronic damage.
Hit you with the same gauntlet twice in a row, the same hand,
the other. A crystal on that platform is
going to point its hand once anddo one attack, and it's going to

(19:59):
use the cone of blood. I'm gonna need both of you to
make me a Constitution saving throw of ADC 20 as this cone of
blood and blood shards. Come out of this Ruby gauntlet
like a typhoon. 21. 23. Goodness.
You both pass and you're going to take half of 31 points of
necrotic damage. The third of Cristo, the giant

(20:21):
one that is standing toe to toe with Drell, is going to make an
attack against him. But instead, instead of going
for a punch, you see that he disperses in all these large
blood shards and he's going to move through you, and you're
going to make the Constitution saving throw over DC 20 as he
reforms 15 feet away from you. A 23 you.
Pass and you're going to take half of 23 points of necrotic

(20:45):
damage. Oh my God, hate when he does
that. As the three of Crystal speak to
you, you slay 1. You can slay 3.
You can slay 7. You can slay as many as you
like. I say I forever.
We go to Initiative 16. I'm torn.
I want to help the guys on the platform, but at the same time,

(21:08):
I don't want to leave this a Christo by himself, just do
whatever he wants. So I think I'm going to make I'm
just going to go after the Christo on this platform again.
So I'm going to make the 15 feetmovement S on my platform to
like fight this. A Chris Sergeant.
So my first attack is another Nat 20.
Nice. So my second attack is going to

(21:29):
be a Oh my God, I almost rolled the 4th Nat 20.
It's a 19 to hit and my last attack is a 15 to hit.
OK, so that is gonna be 39 damage on my melee attack.
And then I'm gonna use a bonus action to do another melee
attack 'cause I hit a Nat 20, that is gonna be a 30 to hit.

(21:52):
That is 16 additional damage. What else are you doing on your
turn? I think that's gonna be it.
You see, as his sights are focused on you as you deliver
those deadly blows, we're gonna move to Initiative 23, which is
minutes. So we got to take care of this
well. So the well is literally raised
like a well with a spell circle around it.
No, it's a giant hole, like it'son a raised platform.

(22:14):
So you have to like go up, like maybe like one or two feet.
So it's like, you know, three steps up to look down the hole
itself. The well is a pretty big
opening. It's like 15 feet in diameter
and it looks out to like this void of the astral seat as if
it's being used as like a a wizard would use an orb to scry.
It looks like it's scrying on a site of some kind.

(22:37):
I'm going to go up to the hole, look at Armos, look down into
the well and shoot straight downinto the well and see what
happens. Here goes one shot that's going
to be if I need to roll the hit 27 to hit. 27 As you shoot down
with your slingshot, you see as it goes that it goes further and

(22:57):
further and further. You see that the slang
eventually stops. As it reaches its maximum range,
it starts to float. It went to its Max range that it
possibly can go before it loses momentum and it slowly stops.
You see it drifts in the same direction, but it no longer has
that momentum and no longer has that impact power.

(23:18):
Make me a procession check. That's 21.
You look up to look around to see if there's any type of
change, and you notice that one of the Minotaur's squints at
you. Wait, one of the what?
One of the Acrystos in Minotaur form.
Oh gotcha. OK, that's where I was confused.
I see two Minotaur's. Yeah, you see.
Two Minotaur's, yeah. We're talking about Minotaur.

(23:39):
Looks like you're right Armos, but I'm not going to be able to
reach it with my equipment. Good luck and I jump off the
platform and bonus action flow as you see it's tornado
hurricane holding me up of all these SIDS in my trimmest form.
I'm going to shoot my last slingshot at the the crystal

(24:01):
next armos as a 21 to hit. 21 hits.
Wow. We'll take it as it's going to
take 19 points of horse damage total as my SIDS in my giant
form. You float off the platform after
you take this shot. You don't take any effects of
opportunity here, as they're toofar away.
As you move to Initiative 20, which is a layer action, and

(24:22):
Armos Armos, what do you do? Reginald notices that you're
bleeding very heavily. Yeah, Yep.
Oh, believe me, Armos noticed first before.
Probably Reginald. Take a look at that almost.
Yeah. Roses isn't looking too good.
No shit. And he and he like points and
taps on like on your head to tryto give your attention to menace

(24:43):
as he floats away. And that in his trimmers form,
trimmers looks very sturdy and fortified.
But you could tell that like some of his roots are like
necrotically burned as if they're like singed from like
deathly attacks, like the most outer roots.
They look wiltered despite his healthy tree form showing that
he even menace has some wear andtear on him.

(25:05):
And he goes, you just going to keep coming back.
You see, Reginald is like looking around frantically and
Christo speaks. He goes.
There's no amount of plotting orbetrayal or traders that can
help. You here you.
Are in my world. And your world will also become
my. What?

(25:27):
None of these options are good. They're all bad.
This is the final boss. First thing I'm going to do, I'm
going to bonus action use a potion of superior healing.
I am then going to move to the well, which I think
unfortunately takes a opportunity attack.
You're going to take an attack of opportunity here because

(25:48):
you're leaving his melee range, yes.
So he's going to take an attack of opportunity on you?
Yep. Which is Gauntlet.
There's an 18 there. I am going to wait a minute.
Shield to shield. I think yes, I can wait.
Yep, plus one to your AC already.
Yep. And then if I use Shield, that
gives me five well. That is your reaction.

(26:09):
Yes. You cast shield and it misses.
You approach the edge of the well.
As you look down, you feel like you're looking into the astral
sea. You see that the wind begins to
blow into you and you're lookingdown this bright tunnel made-up
of blood shards. And at the other end of the
bright tunnel is this moon looking back up at you with the

(26:29):
world of Umbrella Eclipse behindit.
As I move to the well I'm going to cast Wall of Force which will
be a hemispherical Dome so that the top half of this there's a
bubble around me that then I canhopefully do something to this
well next turn. Almost is just buying time at
this point. That went so much better than I

(26:50):
thought that turn was gonna go to.
Be honest bro. I just looked through dude when
you were going. I'm like, Oh my God, Oh my God,
Oh my God. You threw the the whole tome
Adam that turn you. Holy shit.
Yeah, I'm gonna do this. This this this.
We're going to go maybe a perception check at the end of
your turn. Yes, I I was going to say I want

(27:12):
to, I want to see when I do that, if I look up at the moon,
is it still there? Also 17.
You look up and the moon is still there and you're looking
at this massive moon in the sky that's miles ahead of you,
hanging like a star normally with as if you were to look at
the moon, normally your home world.
And you look down. You still see the moon in the

(27:33):
bottom of the well, a much clearer picture of it.
And you see that the two are Christos.
And all three of them shout and they go to rush towards the Dome
that you've created and they start punching.
Staying on Initiative 20 is a lair action.
And almost as you look down at the moon and at the well, trying
to catch your breath as you try to figure something out, you see

(27:56):
something bright is heading in your direction and a rock is
coming at you, a bloodshot against brighter and brighter
and brighter. You're going to make me a
Dexterity saving throw with disadvantage because there's no
real room to move as it explodesat the top of the Dome that
you've created. So I got an 8 but hold on.
There's more. In a 15 but I'm going to use

(28:19):
Adel Rams thing and automatically pass.
Yeah, okay, so that is your 1 use.
Yeah, I. Know a long rest?
I think it's worth it. You're going to take half of 48
points of damage. It's like a good use.
As this blood Shard meteor explodes into the Dome and
completely pills this room with magical piercing damage and a

(28:42):
mix of the chronic damage as yousee Reggie, as you see like this
bloodshot, we can survive in here.
We have to as Armas is like justtook this massive amount of
damage and is just trying to figure out what to do while he's
still bandaging his wounds We're.

(29:03):
Going to move to initiative 18, which is a crystal and you see
that the first of crystal, the one that was next to you tries
to teleport, but it is immediately stopped on the wall
of force. The second one is going to make
2 attacks against it. And they are both met with the
same stopping power as the one who tried to teleport between

(29:24):
it. And you hear these cracks in the
magical weave that is circling the well protecting it.
And it's echoing something fierce as the blood now loses
rhythm or the rhythm changes in the blood ocean.
But once calm heartbeat that youheard now speeds up.
It's a it seems like the room isnow pumping with adrenaline.

(29:44):
The third one is going to make abeeline towards the well.
He will take an attack of opportunity here from Drell if
you want to use your reaction. For it, I would yes, be like,
excuse me, where do you think you're going?
That is a dirty 2026 points again.
As you see that he dashes over as he floats and you see the
blood shards begin to form from the blood ocean, from the

(30:06):
pedestals. As he lands on there and is also
trying to assist the other two of Christos and trying to gauge
what is happening. We move to Initiative 16.
Drought. Oh man, this is so hard.
I was going to try to jump across but I don't think I can.
So what I would like to do is asa bonus action, I'd like to
consume a one of my quick thistles.

(30:29):
It's actually my last one. That's going to give me an
additional 15 feet of movement. So my foot movement will then be
45 feet. I would like to use my movement
to run and jump across. What's your shunt score 20?
You can move up to 20 feet jumping if you run at least 10
feet. But the gap is 30, so does that
mean I just can't jump across this?

(30:51):
Yeah, you would have to jump to the Throne Island and then jump.
So you have to jump like north and then jump South.
So you have to make a 2A2 hopperhere.
OK, what if? What if he burns his inspiration
die to get across? No, I'm not going to do that,
OK. So I'm trying to bargain for
you. Well I want that.

(31:13):
So how about this? If I use a dash action so that
would give me 80 feet of movement.
Can we say that I jumped to the north where the throne is and
then S onto the island where everyone else is at?
I'll tell you what, you make me an athletics check because
you're really going to distance.You're going to be jumping and

(31:33):
reaching for a ledge that is literally bleeding blood into
the ocean. If you make me an athletics
check DC-17 I'll stay and catch the edge and you're able to pull
yourself up. If you fail, you will be
dropping 100 feet into this fastleading blood ocean.

(31:55):
Other than that, you'll have to take two turns to get there
because you need to dash and jump over well.
Wouldn't be the last episode if I.
All right, So I'm going to try to do it.
I think I can do it. OK, So I'm going to move.
I'm going to take that deal and I'm going to try to run and jump
off both islands, She said take that deal.

(32:16):
I'm taking that deal. DC-17.
You said athletics DC-17. OK.
That's Chariots of Fire, Blair in the distance.
That is a 28. You hop and that armos you look
up as Reginald pulls on your horns.
As you look up at you see Drell as he's like windmilling his

(32:39):
arms and you see that he falls below the island as if he's
about to fall off. And you see just a few fingers
that appear just above the bleeding blood coming from the
side of the bloodshot island as he pulls himself up.
You see all of his veins and hisglory as he pulls himself with
one hand and then finally with the other and crawls up onto the

(33:02):
ledge. He made it.
Yeah, he really flew. I really did.
OK. And that is going to be my turn.
We're going to go through the ship 23 minutes.
So this quick Thistle potion, itadds 15 feet of movement to just
all your movement. No, it adds it to your movement

(33:23):
speed out. It would not affect your hover
speed because the hover speed, correct me if I'm wrong, is
coming from your. SIDS.
But it's still a speed. Yeah, technically it's it's it's
a flying speed. It's going to say it's, it's off
your speed, right? You got to be honest, I didn't
think this far ahead when I created the brew.
Because like my my boots will affect it might float as well

(33:45):
because they just say your your speed not your walking speed.
It says all your speed is doubled.
Oh, it specifically says all your speed is doubled.
Yeah, it says your speed is doubled.
It doesn't specify walking. Let me resource myself to the
text, I'll allow it. I rolled A-17 for you.

(34:07):
So I'm going to bonus action, use that quick Thistle, and
that's going to add 15 feet of movement to my walking speed,
which is going to bring me up to50.
And that's also going to bring my climbing speed, my swimming
speed up to that as well becauseI'm a Ranger.
But my flying speed is now 25. It's in our Moses hands now.

(34:29):
Sid, Alec, what color is your quick Thistle potion, by the
way? I'd like to think that one is
like a illuminated silver. Silver crash motion against my
chest, silver through the branches as I float up 25 feet,
healing myself in the process asmy roots shine with magical

(34:52):
energy. What are you healing yourself
with? I'm going to do a third level
here, wounds as I get 36 points of health back.
You heal yourself as we go back to Initiative 20, which is our
most and the lair action. Oh my God, here we go.
I'll do this. It's just whoa, it's going to
last forever as you're seeing 3 of Christos.

(35:17):
It's only going to last a few minutes.
Always read yourself now. Now's the time.
OK. I want to definitely look down
there and get a better perspective.
Do I notice being here? Is it maybe cutting off the
power? You don't feel like there's any
disconnect of power, but they don't like the fact that you
domed this area off by you beingin there.

(35:39):
There was the moon itself had reacted to your presence and
shot a bloodshot meteor to it. However, it looks too far away
to shoot a projectile I. I should have jumped after all
that's. What I'm thinking Armos kind of
looks around for half a half a moment and gets one final.

(36:02):
I think I'm down to restorative ointment at.
This point. Nice.
I really regret giving me and Menace those potions, huh?
Yeah, I didn't expect to be here.
Almost looks in his sack, realizing that he doesn't have
any more potions left and does ajump into the well.

(36:23):
This guy told me not to and now he's jumping in.
Come on, you got to say something new.
You have like a big blade. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
And you see that Reginald is like holding on and all of his
hair begins to blowback as you jump into the well towards the
moon, as you get smaller and smaller and smaller as you begin

(36:44):
to instantly fall 500 feet. You begin to fall down this long
blood Shard tunnel and there areblood shards all around you and
surging in between each of the giant blood shards, this tunnel
of crystal is this surging blue spark of energy as they begin to

(37:06):
course through all the crystals as you find yourself falling
instantly 500 feet down this hole.
And as you begin to fall, you feel as if gravity is moving you
in different directions. You begin to go left, right, as
you're narrowly dodging these rigid sharp edges of these
crystals that are just tearing through all the heat and

(37:28):
leather, the loose clothing on your body, on your equipment,
It's just being nicked and shredded away as you are
narrowly dodging these crystals in this tunnel.
And we are going to move the layer action if you if you can
and do anything else. This counts as your movements.
I do want to do something else. I'm going to cast a spell and

(37:49):
it's going to be Armor of Agathis.
I get 25 temporary hippoids. You cast Armor of Agathis on
yourself as you're beginning to go through this blender of blood
shards as your body is just turning and you're like casting
the spell and you're the wind isblowing everywhere as the blood

(38:09):
shards are almost cutting you through your armor as we go to
initiative 20 as we stay on initiative 20 is a layer action
and you see these blood shards begin to protrude out almost
like spikes making me a dexterity saving throw with
DC-14 armors as the spikes are shooting out at you trying to
impale me. Hang on, hang on.

(38:31):
I rolled A10 but I use dark ones.
Luck at this. Point. 10/20/20. 20 You narrowly
escape one of these bloodshot Spears coming through your wall
as it tries to stab you. Then a few more come, just
barely missing you as you followthis 500 feet.
As you move to initiative 18, which is Christo, and you see

(38:53):
that they start nervous and reactive, so trying to beat down
the wall of force that they cannot get through.
One goes to look at Drell, goes to attack him, while the other
two continue to beat on the wallof force.
You're going to take two attackshere, Drill.
Bring it, bitch. 2020 to miss misses and a 19 to miss.

(39:14):
Reaction. Fuck I just rolled.
That's an 18. 18 misses, all right, as we'll move to
Initiative 16 drill. All right.
That's what it's meant for. You're like, hey, it's me again.
Sorry. I'm just going to continue to
attack the acrysto that's in front of me.
That is going to be a 22 to hit,a 21 to hit, and a 25 to hit.

(39:38):
That is 77 damage. This thing is barely holding on.
OK. As you see, it's limbs are
floating like Rayman as the crystal to reconnect from your
vicious attack. I would like to.
Action surge and continue attacking.
First one is a 23 to hit a 21 damage on the first attack.
It fades to this. Cloud of Bloodshot as.

(40:02):
You slashed. What I would then?
Like to do is make my way to theone that was next to that that's
continue to be on the well OK, so that is a 18 to hit 18 misses
and the. Second one was also an. 18 So
what I will do then is action surge a second time and try to
fight and try to kill this guy. Just in case anyone listening,

(40:25):
it's like, what the heck, This is what I got for hitting level
17 as a fighter. I got a second action surge.
It's one of the things I've got.So that is it, yeah.
Another. 120. 6 to hit. 22 to hit oh this is almost not 20 and
a 25 to hit, but that is 79 damage another.

(40:48):
Cloud of blood shards disperses on your series of vicious lows.
Can audio go? Through Armos's wall.
Like if I yell something, would Armos be able to hear it as he's
falling? I think it can, Yep.
Audio can pass through. As a bonus.
Action. What I would like to do is rally

(41:08):
Armos. I know it's not going to do
much, but I'm going to just say hang in there almost and get the
job done and that is going to beAD 10 of HP to Armos.
Oh fuck, it was almost. A10 but it's a 1 so you got one
extra HP yo-yo. Any part in the storm at this

(41:30):
point? You know what I'm saying?
Like so since I don't have. Anything in my charisma that's
why. Plus zero.
So it's literally a flat D10 which I rolled the one so I gave
almost one extra HP. He is too.
Far. Away or see that what?
What shouting down in the? Well, all he has to do.
Is hear me? Yes.
Audio goes through. The wall.

(41:52):
That doesn't necessarily mean hecan breathe.
Yeah, right. Hello.
Hello, hello. Get into reverberation physics.
Actually, no wait. That's a very good point.
I've been persuaded. I love it.
What are you yelling to him as the reverberates through the
well? I yell.
Armos, hang in there. Get the job done.
You hear Reginald cry out. For you as you move to

(42:14):
initiative 23 as you receive 1. Stowie, Kip 1 OK.
I am going to bonus action, click my heels now, and that is
going to double all of my movement.
Every other speed besides flyingis 100 feet and my flying speed
is now 50 feet as I'm going to move up at an angle 25 more

(42:36):
feet. So I'm now 50 feet above the
Christos and the well and everything going on down there.
And then as an action, would youbelieve I'm going to heal myself
again? I got the time so I need to do.
It while I have a chance it's I think it's going to be a second
level this time just a second level cure wounds on myself Roku

(42:58):
door comparing him should we have made powerful friends?
Let's get 19. Points health back.
It's pretty good as we move to initiative. 20 which is Armos
and the lair action you anciently move 500 feet as.
You begin to move. And flail and wander as the

(43:19):
blender of blood shards begin toPierce out as you are now
narrowing into a tunnel. As you feel the presence of
blood shards and the astral sea blurring together as you feel
like you're being jetted out, asyour body begins to warp a
little bit. You move 500 feet.
You are still in this tunnel. Make me another Dexterity saving
throw with DC-14, yes. 15. You.

(43:44):
Are still. Dodging these.
Blood shards that are panickedlytrying to stab you through this
blender of blood shards. You can still make an action,
but your movement is already made for you as you're being
pulled. I'll use the ointment while I'm.
Falling there. You go so with the.
Ointment it takes. An entire action and I get 15

(44:06):
health points back. Hang on, hang on.
And then I. As I'm falling, I'm just rubbing
this all over my face. It's OK.
It's OK for facial. Care.
Things are fine, Everything's fine.
You just hold it down in. Front of your.
Face and let the gravity just push it up.
Oh yeah, there you go. I got a, it's in my nose.

(44:26):
I understand facial health care is very.
Important, but is this really the time to be applying Insert
facial cream ad here right now? Reminder that this is the most.
Serious episode of our podcast today.
As we move. To a lair action as only one of

(44:47):
the crystals reform. As you see the one next to
Drell, the small walk begins to reform and reshape.
As you see it takes a step back and it looks at the wall and
it's like looking at the wall, the Dome that Armos had placed
that is still up, that he is still concentrating on.
And he goes, I understand you see that like his eyes shimmer

(45:11):
drilled. He's looking at something that
you can't see. And that turns to you and it's
going to raise his hand. And you're going to make me a
Constitution saving throw of ADC20 as a cone of blood and blood
shards hurricane out of his palm.
So 24 you're. Going to take half. 37 points in
the chronic damage. He goes to punch you with his

(45:31):
Ruby fist with a 28 ticket. I am going to use a reaction.
Dragon's tail, Dan, we still getyour plus one.
Oh yeah, the barrier's up. Nice, my 8 AC is. 29 now, so
that misses as your tail comes up it.
Deflects that attack. The second of Christo is going
to look up at minutes and you see that he holds his hand up

(45:54):
and shoots 2 blasts at you. Bring it. 17 to miss.
Wow, wow at a 15. To miss.
Lucky Wow. Yeah.
That he rolled real low. On that one, as these two blasts
come towards you and they miss narrowly, you just see pockets
of. Branches break away as we move
to initiative. 16 drill man won't these guys just.

(46:17):
Die. That is a 28 hit, 28 hits hit
goes. Death.
There's nothing more. Oh yeah, how about a 20?
Nine hit you can die and still. Live.
OK, well I just rolled. The Nat. 20 on my third attack
so. I'm also going to make this a.

(46:40):
Menacing Strike and then I'm also going to use my bonus
action since I rolled the Nat 20to take another attack and
that's a 25 to hit that hits. OK, so that is all in total 117
damage it. Flows.
It's numerous flood shots, another swarm in front of you as

(47:01):
you see the electricity, the blue life force is trying to
reconnect all the blood shots back together.
Yeah, that is going to. Be my turn as we move back this
shift. 23 minutes All right, Sig.
We need to keep them at Bay until almost does the thing and
you hear my spectral Sid go. It's going to move 20.

(47:25):
Feet. Oh my God, have we been
forgetting about the spectral? Sid This whole time I haven't
been forgetting about them, I just couldn't move.
Because I was using bonus actions.
And then after the. Spectral Stitch Sid starts slow
motion running floating across the islands.
Menace is going to take some just regular attacks at the only

(47:46):
crystal that's left. Roll the hit.
What else to do right? It's going to be I haven't
written that 20 in so long. 26 and a 23 as it's going to take
Dang good rolls as it takes 40 points of horse damage with my

(48:06):
slingshots in the SIDS helping out you pepper crystal as.
The wounds are slowly healing, but your shots are disrupting
its flow. It's almost over.
A crystal face your fate as I ended my turn.
Look. Yes, true.
As we move to initiative. 20, which is almost an Elera action

(48:28):
as we move through the tunnel, you're gonna be launched another
500 feets as you now feel like you're falling up, Falling In
Reverse as the bloodshot tunnel begins to blur into the Astral
sea. As you're seeing these large,
large conduits of blue energy mixing with all these bloodshot
energy as lightning is streakingacross rapidly.

(48:51):
As you feel like you're being poured into somewhere.
You feel like you're about to belaunched somewhere.
What are you doing on this turn now the little ointment.
Oh man, this ointment. 'S so.
Great. Oh my goodness.
Focus. No.
No. No, no you don't.
Understand wait. So since I'm using it as my
action I get the full amount right?

(49:12):
Because this is a multi purpose.I don't, I heal for 10.
And you're still concentrating on.
Your wall of force? Yes, very much.
It's been three turns. Since that wall of force has
gone up, so there's seven more Oh no, wait, it is 10 minutes.
So 93 more rounds. It's still up for OK, it's.

(49:33):
Fine, it's fine. It's what it is.
Yeah. Cool.
OK. So.
We're going to move staying on an issue 20.
You're going to make me another Dexterity signature with DC14AS.
All these Bloodshot speeds. I'm going to tag you plus 1 + 1.
So 14 Oh, you're. Definitely outside of my zone.
Yeah, 100% a. 100%. Then I.

(49:55):
Failed. You're going to take.
As it stabs through your belly. 14 points of magical slashing
down eight points of necrotic damage as I'm falling my armor.
Of Agathis is barely hanging on.It could be a concentration
concentration. Check as you took EC 12 so I got
an 18. Yes, that's my turn as I keep

(50:15):
falling. As we move to initiative. 18
Christo Christo is going to lookup at menace and he's going to
make 4 attacks towards you as helobs these Beilu blasts.
The first one is going to be a 16 miss.

(50:38):
The second one is. Going to be a. 23 to be 20
points of magical bludgeoning, with an additional 16 points of
the product damage, so 30. 6 Magical force.
Sorry, Yeah, 30. 6 total that I'm going.
To have with a reaction and withthat reaction, I'm using my
storm dispersal and I'm teleporting 30 feet upwards at

(50:59):
an angle, so I'm now 80 feet in the air.
You see that with his other. Two attacks, he slams his hand
into the floor and you see shooting out from the floor are
two more of these banging blastsshooting straight upward at you,
getting around the wall of forceon.
That one and I'm. 32 There's thenumbers I want to see in my

(51:21):
head. With an additional 16.
Points of force damage with an additional five points of
necrotic damage shows the right one to have not going.
To as he makes those four attacks.
We're going to go to Initiative 16 drill.
OK, I'm going to. Move my way around the Dome does
the. Echo method.

(51:41):
Still work or No? Yes, OK.
Let me see how. Many superiority die I have
left. I might not be able to do it.
I could do it, but this is goingto be the last one you got.
I'm sorry I'm just going to I'm just going to move my way around
to the last remaining copy and then I'm going to just yell down
the well, hang in. There are most menace and I have

(52:02):
faith in you. It's not much, but it's 4 HP and
then I'm going to take my attackaction on the hi crystal that is
going to be a 19 to hit 18 misses all right that's.
A nap. One damn it that was gonna hit
and last one is a 22 to hit. Futile as he.

(52:25):
Casts a reaction. OK, so you're going to hit him.
He's. Going to take half this damage.
OK, so that is just going to be 20.
Five damage, so he's going to use a reaction here.
As he turns into all these bloodshards and goes through you, as
he moves an additional 15 feet, as he takes half that damage,
you're gonna take 20 points of magical slashing damage.

(52:47):
All these blood shots go. Through as we.
Move to initiate 23 minutes. Yes, Sir.
So First things first, Spectral Sid.
It's gonna float 20 more feet and is now floating at the edge
of the middle Island, with the well ready to hop on at any
moment. Fresh and then Venice is.

(53:10):
Going to fly down 30 feet, so he's floating 50 feet in the air
and I'm going to use a third level cure wounds on myself
again, OK. Oh, I needed that.
OK, we're. Getting somewhere, We're getting
somewhere. What else you doing on your
turn? Nothing else I can do as.
We move to Initiative 20, which is.
A layer action and ointment. All of this ointment, it's just

(53:33):
really coming in close. Hold your horns, Armos.
All right. Hold your horns because you got
to fall 500 feet first as you are launched through this tunnel
and you are officially out on your 4th turn.
You. Get.
Launched. Relinquished from this tunnel of
blood shards as you are sent into a realm of purple energy.

(53:59):
You. See billions of little lights in
the distance that closely resemble stars as you're
floating, but there's no more attacks of these red blood
shards, these red Spears trying to impale you.
As you are floating, you are slowing down as you feel the
pull from an exterior force. You no longer feel this.

(54:23):
Immense pressure all around you,but rather from a single focal
points. Well, let's say to your W as you
land on this floating island andit is a massive bloodshard.
And as you land on this bloodshard, you see blackness
all around you with the these little dots that look like
stars. And then you see mixed in with

(54:45):
the blackness are these purple cloud?
Almost like blurs. Like if you would rub your eye
too much you would see those squiggly lines.
That's what it feels like all around you.
Then you are overcome with a sense of self-sufficiency.
Your dry mouth that you had while you were fighting is gone.
You no longer feel hungry. You no longer require water.

(55:07):
You don't even feel the need to breathe.
You go to take a breath and yourlungs do not inflict.
You don't feel that sensation ofyour body filling up with air.
You feel light. You are still hurt physically
from your wounds, but you feel like you no longer need any
external assistance with these minor things that would sustain
your body normally. And you look out to this vast

(55:29):
openness and then you see way ina distance, a large boulder of
some kind of looks like a planet, except it is not
destroyed like you saw on the Garden of Victories.
It is completely covered with red clouds and black smog.
And then you look around. You see all these blood Shard
islands like you saw inside Bei Loon.

(55:50):
And then you see from where you landed, 300 feet away, floating
in the Astral Sea. Where you find yourself is that
bluish telish moon lingering. And.
You see way in the distance yourhome from Brea, that you find
yourself in the Astro St. on topof this blood Shard island and

(56:13):
this large moon only 300 feet away with this immense pressure
of evil. Although it does not have a
face, it's rigid in nature. It looks like exactly like the
moon you've been seeing throughout your entire
adventure, and although it does not have eyes, you feel it
staring at you almost. Where are we, I think.

(56:33):
We hit. The bottom of the well.
I look at the moon, kind of glaring, trying to figure out
how I'm going to deal with this thing.
Reginald, that's our target right there.
Is that Is that the Phylacus? Has to be.
It has to be. It I start walking towards it
and I'm getting ready to eldrinkblasted just to see what
happens. You walk.

(56:55):
Forward and realize you are literally walking in space.
You are walking in the astral sea as gravity is insanely light
as those blood shards have a light gravitational pull.
These blood shards that you're standing on look like it's
acting as like a natural defenseor the moon, the way they are
placed. The actual plane works in many
mysterious ways. We'll get into it later, but

(57:17):
this thing is keeping you here as long as you want it to keep
you there. You're very light here.
Your movement is quadrupled and you feel like if you want it to
float, you can. As you launch, I'll just blast.
Go ahead and roll the hip. Come on boys. 22 you see as it.
Is Elgi's. Blast go to it, you see a frill

(57:40):
all like this. Red shield emanates from it as
it uses a reaction and casts shield, raising its AC to 25.
So I hit 25 and. Then two more 20 fours.
A Eldrick blast goes through anddoes 12 damage. 24 points of
damage. Is done to the surface of the

(58:01):
moon as you see as the Elgi's blast hits, shards begin to
burst out and menace and drell. The room that you're standing in
the throne of creation begins toshake as you notice that the
vessels that you've been fighting begin to look around,
look at the well, and then look at you. 2 looks.
Like he made it a crystal, Yeah.And then?

(58:25):
As that. Eldrick blast hits, I want to
hurl it through hell. I don't know if that.
Can happen, but I that's what I want.
This blast and a portal of. Inverness begins.
To swirl open as you. See that the?
Moon begins to get sucked in, and as it begins to get sucked
in, you see this deep glow of red energy around the moon as it

(58:49):
resists its pull and shoots a blast through the portal,
disintegrating it as it remains in place.
All right. You.
Hear. A crystal's.
Voice echo in your. Mind as if it's speaking from
the moon. Your attempts are futile and
your cheap tricks you nothing. The power and knowledge that I

(59:14):
continue. You have discerned A feat better
than death. I will consume your knowledge.
Did you just speak to us? Yeah, it did.
Just. Freaking annoyed that the armus
is getting more with rage as he's looking at Reginald.
Reginald. If there was a time that you're
going to be like A8 wing demon or you know, Sprout, you know,

(59:40):
lasers out of your eyes, this might be the moment.
Guy, you don't have that. He ripped it from you.
Yum. You're the funnel.
I'm your funnel. So I.
Can. Move.
And I can float. You're only considered hovering.
Or whatever when you're not attached to something.
All right, so I'm gonna move to the.
The island that I'm currently on, I'm I'm kind of running

(01:00:01):
towards it, like trying to get closer and just get a better
vantage point. So me and Reginald kind of run
off straight towards the moon. That'll be my turn.
You notice that the moon as the sun.
Shimmers in the background. You notice that it has a glass
face, as if the moon itself is 1giant crystal.
At the end of Return it makes a legendary action and uses the

(01:00:24):
spell Sunburst as a giant beam shoots at you as it launches
towards you, crashing on to the bloodshot island.
Make me a constitution saving throw of ADC 20.
I got an 11 SO. What does that do?
You fell. You're going to.
Take 39 points of radiant damage, you are blinded for one

(01:00:47):
minute, I don't know if you wantas this large beads shoots at
you as it glows red, then it connects as it lands and turns
this like bluish evilish purple reddish color as you move to
initiative 18, the one at Christo as it's going to make an
attack on Drell as it runs up tohim and it's going to make 4
melee attacks on him. Oh Romeo concentration check.

(01:01:09):
Almost you need to be a concentration check with DC 20
negative you lose. Concentration and the.
Wall of force drops and you see a crystal looks at it in the
throne of Creation. You see that the a crystal
vessel looks at it and it looks at Drell and then begins to try
to beat him with his Ruby gauntlet.
SO17A miss 19 a miss. A19A miss Come on.

(01:01:30):
Misses 26 to hit reaction. Damn.
Nice, so I have a 31 AC right now.
Or sorry, 34 AC. You deflect it with your tail as
she comes. In for the final blow and dodge
it. I don't think so.
Move to Initiative 16. Drill.
I'm just going to try to battle back and try to.

(01:01:51):
Help Armos as much as I can by keeping these guys away from the
well. Be like you want to get to
Armos, you got to go through me.That is the 26th.
Hit 13 on the second one. As you hit, you deflect the
second 28. That's 47 damage that vessel
blows into a bunch of. Shards as you have taken it out
and there are currently no vessels standing before you.

(01:02:12):
I think I just look at Menace and I say.
Menace what's? What's the game plan here?
What are we doing? Looks like armor needs.
Our help? Yes, yes, of course.
But how? Do we just keep killing these
guys? Or I look at the Weld, do we
jump in? Like what do we do when this
floats down 50 feet above the well?
With a tornado swirling around him of SIDS keep him afloat.

(01:02:36):
The spectral Sid kind of comes next to you.
Oh my God this kind of freaks meout.
Hey, let's take care of this moon.
It starts going down the well, so you're trying to go down
drill. You still have.
Your movement okay, I'm going tojump in the well I.
Guess after them you jump into the, well both of you as.

(01:02:56):
You are thrusted into this blender of blood shards.
Drill on your initiative. You get dropped 500 feet into
the well as you see all these bloodshot speeds try to stab you
as you feel like you're being torn in all these different
directions as your movement is now restricted to you as you're
being forced through as if you're being pulled somewhere ow

(01:03:18):
ow ow at the. End of your turn.
Cristo is going to make a legendary action as it shoots a
bolt of a Bay loon blast at Armos from the moon.
With a 19 to hit that would hit you can take 21.
Points of force damage. As we move to initiative 23,

(01:03:38):
which is minutes, minutes, you run and jump in.
Your movement is stricken from you as you also move 500 feet
into this tornado of blood shards.
I'm gonna have both of you because I forgot to do for you
drill. Both of you roll me a Dexterity
saving throw with DC14AS. All these blood Shard killers
are trying to stab you as you are going through this tunnel.
Nat 24th. Nat 20 of the episode, That's

(01:04:01):
going to be a 30. So because of you 2.
Are now falling through. This scene here, as you're
falling through this next section, I want to do both of
your turns at the same time moving forward.
Yeah, X amount of turns do need to pass before you make it
through this tunnel here as we're going to move to
initiative 20, which is Armos and a layer action.
Armos at the edge of this bloodshot island floating

(01:04:21):
through the Astral Sea, facing down left to remove.
What are you doing blinded so I.Asked Reginald.
Point me in the right direction if you.
Can't see hit me too. Didn't Rod regional just like
rubbing his eyes? He's like putting his ears over

(01:04:41):
as like a blinders from any lingering sunlight.
All sucks as I was still runningin that direction.
Before I was blinded, I kind of know which direction it was and
I cast lightning bolt. So the idea is that I'm casting
it in a line and I know where the moon is and it's ginormous.
So even if I'm like am off a little bit in any which which

(01:05:06):
way it says in a direction I choose.
It doesn't say at a target, by the way.
Yeah, it does say in the direction you choose.
But hold on, hold on. I'm coming for you.
Take this. You're going to make me an
Arcana check, OK? If we weren't in the Astral Sea,
I would allow it. That's what Astral Sea doesn't.
Nice. Let's.
Go. It's rubbing off.

(01:05:29):
OK, you got me. You got me, you shooter for a
lighting Ashley, you got me. That might be one of the.
Best Nat 20s? We've had all easily, easily OK.
OK, I would. I just can't.
Wait to see a. Moon do a Dexterity saving throw
also it does not move and you see.
That it as the lighting bolt connects you see this red shield

(01:05:53):
flume gloss over. As it uses a legendary
resistance and passes, it will take half of 30. 9 damage takes
19 points of damage as the. Lightning bolt cracks and
sizzles on the glassy prismatic surface.
So when I did my eldrig blast itdid.
More damage as you are floating towards it at.

(01:06:15):
The end of your turn, it's goingto take a legendary action.
Yeah, bring it on 1st Armos. Makes the check to get out.
Of blindness, right? Oh yes, At the end of your turn,
you make a. Constitution check to see if you
leave the blindness. 14 No, it is a 20.
It's DC 20. Yeah, it's his.
Hard one, Yeah. So it's going to try to.

(01:06:36):
Make it. It's going to make.
An attack against you with a 26 to hit 26 that hits that is
going. To deal 19.
Points a force damage. OK, so here's a question if I
go. Down and get back up.
I'm still blinded. Oh no.
Oh all. Right, then I will choose to do
that instead. You get shot.

(01:06:58):
As like you shoot this lighting mode UPS as you get hit with
this Bay loon blast as you fade and Reginald goes no, we're
right at the end almost you can't give out on me.
We're right here. This is it, this is it.
Boom and he like he punches yourchest and it gives you like an
emergency adrenaline shot as youwake up with one hit point as

(01:07:20):
you use your tome ability which brings you back once.
Hang on, let me. Check that off.
OK, It's good this is going. It's just how I planned it
really, because I can see your ribs.
As we stay on initiative. 20 Which?
Is a layer action and you see that all this energy swirls
within the prismatic shell. As you see, it beats like a

(01:07:44):
heart on its layer action minister.
You see the walls contracting asyou feel like it regains
something. We're going to go from
Initiative 20 to Initiative 16, which is drill OK as you you
begin to fall through. Oh yeah, so.
Both of you are falling through.I just stare at menace as you.
Fall another 500 feet. Both of you make me Dexterity

(01:08:05):
saving throws from DC142817 pass.
As they move back to initiative.20 which is almost.
All right after hitting it with lightning I.
Realized it didn't give that same blue hue that my Eldrick
blast did and didn't do the extra damage.
So I'm going to wind up original.

(01:08:26):
Give me everything you got and I'm going to shoot four of those
beams. 26 it's going to attempt to use a shield as a.
Reaction but you still it's it'sAC now becomes 20. 5:30. 17. 20
to miss and a 17 to. Miss roll for those two hits.

(01:08:47):
So right away we have. 25 damage, but then, so I'm going
to use my hit die. Those reset when we had a long
rest. Yeah, long rest.
Perfect. You have. 20 hit die I'm.
Going to. Use them all.

(01:09:08):
You're going to use your tone mobility.
And use all. Your hip dye, OK, I mean this is
the time to use them. True, true, I think I what's.
The damage you do, I got to do some drill math.
Hang on. One second, you're dumping 20.
It die into. One bolt.
I'm going to spread them to evenly between the.
Two OK, so 9:50 the first Eldrid.

(01:09:29):
Blast. 49 damage. OK, manageable.
OK, OK, OK. OK the first bolt does 98 points
of damage as you wobble out leftas it's empowered and you feel
the tone off that first shot sapping your life essence away
as you feel the acrylic Shard glow as you are using every last

(01:09:51):
bit of strength here to throw out that excess blast as you
follow it up with another. The next blast is. 73 Total
damage 73. Totaling to 146 damage as you
lob another one and. You feel that these elges bless.

(01:10:13):
They are impactful. You hear the crystal like
surface shattering, almost cracking and you hear groans of
pain coming from a crystal and you.
Feel the immense. Pressure like loosening and the
heartbeat goes. As it begins to pick up like
it's panicking. As it suffered 2 deadly blasts

(01:10:37):
and you hear an audible nerd as.For the first.
Time you hear a. Christo angry it does not move
despite you using Elgin's. Blast.
As I'm floating. Even closer to it, there's more
where that comes from and as I'mfloating closer towards the
moon, he's going to use a legendary action and.

(01:10:59):
Block your path as he casts a spell.
As you see this eruption of fireup to 1010 foot cubes, he's
going to trap you on a box of fire all around you.
You're going to make me a. Dexterity.
Saving thrill as you are being burned as this solar flare
forming around you like a Charizard doing a fire spin.

(01:11:22):
Got a 17 that is a. Fail as you take 20.
Three points of fire damage as Istart to.
Take the damage. I use a reaction Tomb of
Leviticus. Oh man, yeah, that was coming.
I forgot about that you. Need a little one help out of
using that a little one point ofhealth just a smart move.

(01:11:44):
OK, pretty sure I. Forgot about that.
As a reaction, when you take damage, you.
Can encase yourself an ice whichmelts away at the end of your
turn. You gain 10 temporary hit points
per level of warlock level. So I get 200 temporary hit
points? Yep, and you take 23.
Fire damage. So 23 comes off to get temporary

(01:12:04):
hit points as we move to initiative 16.
Initiative 3. Which is the trail and.
Menace as the both of you are going to make me Dexterity
saving throws with DC-14 as you move another 500 feet as you
spend your third turn in this blender.
Blood shards as you feel as you see the corporeal Astral seed

(01:12:26):
blur in with the blood shards asyou see the snapping of energy
as all these blue lightning streaks are coursing through
each individual bloodshot. As you feel the room getting
tighter and tighter based off Armos's attacks just squeezing
around you as if you're inside, just inside of a heart, you get

(01:12:47):
a dirty. 2017. For menace Pass and before.
We venture. Forward.
I'm wondering if there's anything I can roll if I could
have been using actions this whole time to try and use my fly
speed to push myself a little further into this stream.
The only reason I ask is becauseI have a fly speed.

(01:13:09):
Yes, you can to maybe possibly. Get to.
Almost. Maybe one turn sooner before you
do that. A Christo is going to.
Make a legendary action at the end of Drell's turn and he's
going to shoot a sunburst at it.Are you considered
incapacitated? Yes.
So make me a constitution. Saving throw.
Yeah, as it tries to burn away your frozen tune.

(01:13:31):
I got a 17 so you fail and. You're gonna take this full.
12D6 to the face. 54 points of radiant damage.
The tomb of Leviticus light work.
Got it. As we move to.
Menaces turn as you. Already fell 500 feet and so you
would like to take an action to try to propel yourself forward.
Each one of these squares is 50 feet, right?

(01:13:51):
Throughout my turns I'm wondering if I could have been.
Using my action, which would have been 100 feet each turn.
Maybe if I roll something to pass a check, maybe I can get
through with a little extra. Oof, yes you would have.
You would have definitely shaved.
The turn off if you have been moving because of your fly
speed. Gotcha.
Okay, okay, so no, I don't even.Have to roll for it.

(01:14:12):
No, that's awful. I'll allow you to do that as you
fly out. And you leave, drill in the
dust. Wait, menace, you're in a sack.
You fly. Out.
Almost. You see in your tomb, your eyes
shift over and Reginald's eyes shift over as from a tiny hole,
from the crystal's moon like surface.
You see menace coming out, flying past you as menace.

(01:14:35):
You land on this blood Shard island in the middle of the
Astro sea. You see all around you purple
energy mixed in with the darkness with these red clouds.
As you look off into the distance as you see the world of
Umbrea completely covered in redand black smoke like clouds.

(01:14:57):
You see this blue energy emanating from this crystal like
moon that is giving off this immense pressure of not only
evil but power. You're getting this solid source
of knowledge all contained into this one point.
And as the two of you are now outside, you only realize that
where you came from, you were inthe realm of Beiloon, and the

(01:15:17):
realm of Beiloon was contained inside of this fake flattery
moon. As you are now standing on this
bloodshot island in the middle of the Astral sea, your movement
is used, but it is your turn. If you like to take an action,
you are on this blood Shard island.
Next turn. You do have a movement speed

(01:15:39):
that is quadrupled, OK. So I can.
I can just fly. 200 feet every single turn.
Oh, menace specifically. You as you.
Enter the Astral Sea and you start to look at and you start
to understand where you are. You no longer need food, drink,
you don't even need to breathe as the Astral Sea does not
require these things as it is it's own plane.

(01:16:01):
You are broken free from the confines of Beilu, all the SIDS
that you had the knowledge of that you were able to see
within. Within the vault of life as you
were able to see through the eyes instead of the Hellfire as
you're able to see through your main Sid and the throne of
creation. As you look out to Hombrea, you
feel the surge of spark and hopeas you are suddenly reconnected

(01:16:26):
to all of your SIDS. Each Sid that you have given out
or has join somebody through your adventures.
Every Sid that you left behind, every single Sid you feel, and
you feel like you're connected to each one of them.
And if you wanted to, you can tap into any of those SIDS and
you get a flood of visions through you from hundreds of

(01:16:48):
SIDS that you have left behind of various scenarios.
You are seeing SIDS that are fighting along sides of Aramour
soldiers as they are fighting hordes of demons out of the Red
city. You are seeing the SIDS from the
shadow smugglers inside the Red City as they are successfully
fending off demons and making a powerful impact from the inside.

(01:17:09):
You are seeing the Kingdom of Aramor, the castle of Aramor,
fending off protecting its citizens you see.
You see a Sid next to Miranor fighting demons as they are
trying to attack the Ivory Boulder clan and you see a a
strong troop of York of your tribesmen fighting off these
demons successfully. Although they look wounded they

(01:17:31):
look like they are pushing back.Then you also see scenes of
horror as some of these smaller towns of being overrun.
You are getting these scenes from the Ashbourne Mountains as
it looks like the demons have made their way into N Trollis.
But you're getting these visionsof fear and lost alongside these
visions of hope and triumph. And all of these visions flash

(01:17:52):
into you and you're getting these mixed singles.
But the world of Umbrea is fighting back against the
onslaught of a crystal's horde. Now that you have regained the
connection back to Umbrea as yousee the world of Umbrea deep in
the distance on the Astroplane horizon.
Yeah, Menace superhero lands onto the rock, of course.

(01:18:12):
And. The enlarge wears.
Off at this point as he's been going through those 4 rounds and
it kind of falls into normal minute size.
Slightly bulkier with just all the branches and stuff of the
nature spirit that he's turned into everywhere.
Thank. You.

(01:18:33):
We will. Finish it up here, as I shout
into the void, as you roar, as you feel like they heard you.
And you see one of the visions of like all these soldiers who
aren't in the middle of clashingas you see these SIDS all point
up to the sky. You see all these soldiers also
look up where the SIDS are pointing and it looks like
they're pantomining something. They're pantomining that they

(01:18:54):
hear you. Are you casting any spells?
You see a floating armos. In a tube of ice.
I might as well cast. First level healing word on
myself as I get in here. Why not?
Sure, you guys, Healing Word just to get myself a little
health. Going back into this as we move
to. Initiative 20, which is Armos.

(01:19:14):
And a layer action, a legendary action does not happen at the
end of the term Armos. Ice around him slowly begins.
To thaw as he looks around and gets a good glimpse of menace
and needs to get the informationout right away.
Use your sling. Make sure you drill nose as
well. So yeah, that's all I got.

(01:19:36):
As we stand on Initiative 20, you see the moon begins to glow.
This blue as lightning begins tocourse through its prismatic
shell as it feel you feel it regains something as they move
to Initiative 16 drill as you are now launched.
As you land on this. Floating.
Island. This floating bloodshot in the

(01:19:58):
middle of the astral sea. Oh my God.
As you see your. World from Brea.
In the distance, covered in thisRed Cloud and black smoke as the
moon eclipses it from the sun, and you see this giant
phylactery moon, and you hear the words echo in your mind.

(01:20:20):
Impossible. But I will claim you as worthy
trophies. You will always be remembered
within me. But no one could, ever.
So your movement is used up for this turn because you fell
through and landed here, but youstill have your action 200 feet
away, I don't think. I can do anything really with

(01:20:40):
that man. This is the life of a melee.
I guess you could action like dash though.
Yeah, let's do that. Then so I'm just going to use
dash action. And I'm going to move 180 feet
towards the moon. So I'm almost caught up to
Armos. And I just as I get closer, I, I
see Armos is like, you know, just coming out of the state

(01:21:00):
that he was in. And I say, so I take it we're
we're killing this big moon, right?
Yeah. And you just see Armos just.
Bloodied as he's coming, the ice, liquid and his blood are
just running like all over the place, which emphasizes how
messed up he is. Reginald throws up and you just
see the vomit float in place. Is it just like coagulates?

(01:21:23):
Oh God drill. Make sure to use your X at the
end of your turn. Drill, you see.
This. Massive meteor form in front of
you from the Bloodshard moon andyou see that it goes from blue
to red as a crystal. Cast Meteor Swarm.
Oh my goodness, you're going to make me a Dexterity.

(01:21:45):
Saving throw. I can take it of ADC 20.
How about a Nat? 20.
Oh, a Nat. 20 works, another one.
I haven't even gotten one with all this.
Advantage. I mean, I don't know what you're
doing, miss. I'm thinking too hard.
You're going to take half damagehere.
Now half of this damage. Is half fire and half magical

(01:22:06):
budgeting. You're going to take half of 132
points of damage as you take this ninth level Meteor Swarm.
Not to the face because you dodged it as this meteor comes.
Oh, this guy's got. A token for the meteor of.
Course he does as it explodes. Yes.

(01:22:26):
Welcome. To the a crystal fight,
gentlemen. Now we get to fight a crystal.
Yeah, for real as we move to initiative. 23 minutes, Melora.
Lend me your. Strength as I float near Armos
and start slinging bullets. You guys get real close to this

(01:22:49):
thing. Nah 20 Nice.
There it is, there it. Is you say it, see speaking it
into fruition, you shall receive.
Yep, nice row row. For damage.
And the next. 1. Is not as good, it's. 20, 20,
that's all the money, but he's going to cast.

(01:23:11):
Shield as a reaction, so that's 20.
Six points of. Force damage that is going to be
doubled to 52 points. Of force damage as your spectral
sits, as they connect, they turnbigger, sharper and they glow
this brilliant blue as you see as it lands on the moon, as it

(01:23:32):
appears to be a speck and you see a massive impact as if a
boulder slamming into soft ground and it explodes as you
see these little shards explode from the surface of this moon
and you hear this pain come froma crystal.
I will be recognized as one of the strongest of the gods fewer

(01:23:53):
pitiful kind worships. I will show them how weak.
These. Beings that you praise to be
gods, I am stronger than any Godyou have ever met, and I will
prove it today and I will make you relive this moment for
eternity. For as long as I live and exist,
you will live informants, and that's why you will lose today.

(01:24:17):
Because in this battle, like youjust said, you are only one of
the strongest, but not the strongest.
As I look at my friends, lookingat Darrell with his father's
axe, you know, finally bringing it to slay at Christo and our
most bleeding almost on death's door, I'm just leaning back,

(01:24:41):
floating. In the air, just giving you a
thumbs up like. Yeah, way to stick it to the man
that end my turn is it? Use the legendary.
The reaction at the end of your turn minutes.
And shoots one of. These Bay loon blasts at you
with a 30 to hit as going to deal 14 points of the chronic
damage and 10 points of force damage.
Menace stands there stoically, as just.

(01:25:01):
Chips of his shoulder fly off and then a piece of his knee
wood flies off as we move to initiative 20, which is Armos
and. The lair action Armos, you get
the first initiative. Oh, thank Melora.
Or whatever, light him up. On my turn, I look at menace.
Give him a nod and then just. Give the most energy I can while

(01:25:25):
dwindling on no life. A 30 to hit.
A 19 energies fading 21 to hit. Uses cash shield as a reaction.
This guy. 22 to hit yeah, it's. Only one. 16 damage, 16 is
doubled and then I will. Cast Quicken spell.

(01:25:46):
And cast wall of force on just myself.
Yes, absolutely. Use your source reports for your
meta magic. Depth use your Quicken spell
which uses all of your charges Ibelieve.
Spell yes, as you put yourself in.
This. Cube as you now need to
concentrate, it's immune to all damage as you cast wall force.
Staying on Initiative 20 Which? Is a layer action you see from

(01:26:10):
the surface of the moon. As this blue energy begins to
swirl and it seems to regain something, you see six blood
Shard meteors shoot from the surface.
Move counter spell. No, I'm scared.
Counter drill, right? The new meta.
I don't know if it's a. Spell.
It doesn't. Sound like it's a spell.

(01:26:31):
Can I? Even I don't know if I can.
I don't have enough spell slots,you see as six of these Blood
Shard. Meteors begin to shoot from the
surface. They begin to move as they begin
to move. They are moving 30 feet per turn
as they are shooting forward as they are heading in your
direction. 0 as they are spinning and moving really fast

(01:26:55):
towards you, they are in your path and there are six of them
to try to cover as much space aspossible.
As we move to Initiative 16 drill, am I able to try to
avoid? The comets by like moving S Am I
able to, like, float in that direction?
Yeah. So there's these bloodshot
meteors that are heading straight towards you.

(01:27:17):
They are moving 30 feet per turnin a round.
So your this initiative is a turn and then tremendous.
His turn will be a turn. So it's moving 30 feet per turn.
They are heading in a straight line, so they're shooting out
like projectiles. They're not like chasing you.
Then what I'm going to do is I'mgoing to float S to try.

(01:27:37):
To avoid the comets and move to like the left side of the moon.
OK, so then after I do that, then what I'd like to do is
obviously take some swings at the moon with my X.
So the first attack is going to be a 19 to the second attack is
going to be a 23 and the last one is a 14.

(01:28:00):
So the demage is going to be a 21 damage as you connect to this
huge. Landmass before you, your axe
not only cleaves through the crystal surface but leaves a
large gash as you see the axe blast, the glass shell splinter
all around as you're seeing thisgleam of red energy shining

(01:28:23):
through the cracks, as well as this electrifying power not only
shot through the moon itself, but all the bloodshot platforms
forms around you. At the end of your turn, you see
a beam of energy shoot from the gash that you attacked from.
As you're going to make me a Constitution saving throw of ADC
20. As a burst of radiance energy

(01:28:43):
shoots at you in a beam that is a 24, you're going to take half
of 41. Points of radiance as you are.
A brilliant burst in a beam as it shoots from the surface of
the Shard. At the end of Drill's turn, all
these move 30 feet lower the head east almost as this meteor

(01:29:04):
heads right towards you with your wall of force.
It makes an impact and explodes menace and drell.
You see this large eruption as you feel the force of the
exploding bloodshot menace. You're going to make me a
strength saving throw here to see if you're able to maintain
your space floating. It would be pretty good.

(01:29:27):
That's going to. Be.
A 19 you pass, you needed ADC 15you don't.
Move, you shift in place, but the force of the explosion was
enough to push you back and justlike disorient you just a little
bit if you didn't pass that saving throw, potentially
knocking you into the line of sight of one of these other
meteors launching forward as youmove to initiative. 23 minutes.

(01:29:50):
The first thing I do is I look through Dana.
'S Sid as I see Dana fighting and fending off demons below and
it says Dana lend me your speed and he will go 400 feet to the
northwest around this moon. As this like spatial gust.

(01:30:12):
Of wind through the astral sea. 100 feet of movement I do.
Wait, do you really have 100 feet of movement?
Oh my Lord, you see menace like a shooting star.
Wow, that's. Crazy.
He's a bonus action mana potion you get.
A spell slot bag? Oh, OK, And then I'm going to

(01:30:34):
start slinging bullets into the.Backside of this moon.
As Menace runs away, Menace. You're supposed to heal.
He's gone. As menace is now eclipsed by a
Christo all right. Oh, I might miss actually 19.
This is. And 26.

(01:30:57):
All right, that is going to be. Nice, that is going to be 25
points of force damage total as the SIDS are giving me some
extra boom as you hit it. It deals 50 points of.
Damage to the moon as it makes powerful eruptions as you begin
to pepper the moon with your slingshots.
We move to Initiative 20, which is Armos and the lair action of

(01:31:20):
Christo. What are you doing, Armos?
Great question. Yeah, I think I'm in the armor.
Of Agathis get 25 temporary hit points.
Oh, as a bonus action I have a mana potion that I'll use as
well. You drink a mana potion and I'll
get that spell. Slot back so.

(01:31:43):
Basically Armo's at this point. He's just trying to stabilize
himself from bleeding out is casting spells, drinking potions
and trying to don't use the necrotic ones, don't use don't
use the evil. Spell you got to use the good
spells like minis has. We need the ones with the with
the with. The puts the skin back.

(01:32:04):
Together. What is it called?
Karma Sutra. Wait, wait.
When you found that book, you shouldn't have.
No, you shouldn't be reading that book.
You're too young. But is it not like putting
bodies together? And that's the end of my chart.
As the end of your turn. It goes to the layer action as
you see the. Moon as it like always regains
something every turn. You see it spin like in place

(01:32:25):
rapidly like it did a full rotation within its spots.
As you see that, a swirl of energy reconfigures into itself.
As you see of these other bloodshot clusters begin to form
out on all sides. You see one appears right next
to menace as it's trying to defend.
One appears on each corner of the moon.

(01:32:47):
You see it spreads out in a circular motion, almost like as
if it's setting up a barrier, and you see that these are now
spinning around it in a circularrotation.
So it's going to move in a circle and orbit around the moon
as we move to Initiative 16 drill.
Can I try to just hit the one right next to me?
Yes you can, but all. Right down rolling so bad today

(01:33:11):
12 it misses but as you approachit you see that the bloodshot
almost. Blinks and explodes the second.
You get next to it. You are going to take 65 points
of magical piercing damage as this bloodshot meteor like bomb
explodes as you get near it as it as it's acting like a defense

(01:33:35):
against you. Drell instantly starts bleeding
from the mouth. And has wounds everywhere and
just yells to the guys probably want to stay away from these
things and then I'm going to just use my movement on this
turn to take my last two attackson the moon.
Yes, absolutely back up back to plan A that is a 24 to hit and a

(01:34:01):
actually it's going to use a reaction as a shield whops over
it. Who's to get up?
It's AC up to 25. It's a 29 that hits as you.
Breakthrough that Shield 20. 8 damage that is going to double.
And as you deal. That 56 points of damage you see
as you leave this nasty scar across the surface.

(01:34:23):
That energy begins to pulsate from inside the moon as you see
that the surface rumbles like water and you see this dark
pulse of energy as you're now starting to see the insides of
the moon from your axe attacks. What is that As the moon begins
to bleed into the astral sea? I would also like to use a bonus

(01:34:44):
action I have. To use a bonus action with my
last potion of supreme healing. OK, I give back 44 HP.
Good time to get it back as the moon begins to bleed.
At the end of your turn, it is going to take mythic action.
What? The fuck?
Oh boy, first time ever. All three of you.

(01:35:06):
Are going to make me a dexteritysaving.
Throw except Armos of ADC 24A Dexterity saving throw.
Of ADC 24 fuck dude I'm. Going to use.
An inspiration die. I have to roll in that 20.
Do you really I? Have to roll in that 20.
Yeah I would have had to as well.
Even with my inspiration die, I still failed.

(01:35:27):
With that. 18 as this cosmic swirl of energy.
Lasts around you in 100 foot radius.
All around the moon almost. You see from inside the wall of
force this swirl of energy drilland menace.
You are going to take 22 points of acid damage, 22 points of

(01:35:49):
coal damage. 22. Points of fire damage and 22
points of lightning damage. You didn't even let me tell you
where it rolled. You just kind.
Of. Oh, my bad.
I thought you said you failed. I'm sorry.
What'd you roll? Well.
I rolled the 12 and then. I.
But I got indominal. So I'm going to fucking use

(01:36:10):
that. So that's a 17.
I'm going to use a luck point orkind of a matter.
But we both do have absorb. Elements to say Oh yeah, can I
use absorb elements? Which element would?
You like to absorb all of them. You could choose one.
OK, well we got to map this out.Because drill has. 64 HP, so

(01:36:34):
we're gonna have to do some realquick math on this.
All right, so. 88 points of damage.
So drill is resistant to frost or coal damage.
So I'm going to take half of that, right?
Yep. So it's going to be 21 points of
coal, 21 points of coal. Damage, so we're going to leave
that so. Can I absorb elements more than
one? No.
OK, so you'll be saving 22 points of.

(01:36:57):
Damage total, which doesn't old resistance doesn't help, and
your because that's. 64 on the. Dot then you know you had 66 so
I still. Don't have.
Hold on. I think I have Plan B.
Give me a SEC. All right.
Miss is going to use his reaction, though.
Yeah, you do. You go first.
Menace is going to use his swarmdispersal okay and teleport 30

(01:37:18):
feet away. And become.
Resistant to all that damage, which is very helpful right now.
So that knocks it down to 44? Yep, damage.
Just use reaction. To.
These tiny. Meteors not good as the moon is
glowing. Red as you see cracks across.
Its surface, you feel the immense pressure and anger.

(01:37:40):
Instead of using absorb elements, I am.
Going to use stones endurance, which as a reaction I can reduce
damage dealt by one D12 + 5. So I need to roll A trying to
think quick math for the audience.

(01:38:00):
So I'm gonna take the full 11 cold.
I'm gonna take the full lightning.
I'm gonna take the full poison, acid or acid.
Yeah, I'm gonna try to stone endurance fire.
So it's 22 right. So I need to roll A14 or better
on this. How you gonna roll 14 or better

(01:38:21):
on AD 12? Well, because I have plus.
Five. OK so I need to roll A9 or.
Better easiest roll of your whole campaign, right?
Oh dude, I'm going to use the luck point.
I rolled the 10. God, it's the best.
One, it's the best one of the whole given I've never my soul.

(01:38:41):
OK, here we go. One more luck.
Point This is my last one here. Oh my God.
Oh no. That's a seven bro.
You go down and. You are blasted.
With a crystal's pulse of hatredas you are singed with this
cosmic. Force of energy.
And at the end of your turn, well, this is during the end of

(01:39:02):
your turn, you're going to make me a death saving throw.
The mythic action and legendary hack actions happen at the end
of your turn, but that saving throws also happen during that
same phase. So you would roll it now, it's a
good thing because then you're going to get back up, you know?
Oh yeah. Not 20, it's an 11.
Pass as you check off one of the.
Successes in your boxes. We're going to move to

(01:39:25):
initiative. 23 minutes on your initiative.
You notice that all these just make a full pass and they move
to the next location as they're swirling.
Yeah, around the moon. Oh, you also notice.
Armos from your. Perspective, yeah.
You see as a blue stream of. Energy connects from the moon.

(01:39:46):
From Jarrell's body as the soul is leaving his mortal coil.
Being taken from him. Minutes.
What are you doing? All right, Well, First things
first. I'm going to.
Move 400 feet to the southwest, getting closer to Drell.
Need to shave Drell? Sid, your Christo echo out

(01:40:08):
within your mind. As he begins to take Drell's
soul as he yells she come to your new God.
I suppose the best thing I can do for myself, right?
Now is kill myself because I need to make sure I can get to
drill because if I don't get. To drill, I don't think Armos.

(01:40:29):
Is healing anyone How could drill could get to drill?
Drill can't get to. Drill.
So I'm going to. Cast 1/4.
Level Cure Wounds on myself, healing as much as possible, and
I don't think any of my bonus actions help me here.
Yeah, there's nothing else I cando, so I'm sitting tight as I'm

(01:40:51):
rushing towards Drill. As you end your turn, we're
going to move to Initiative 20, which is.
Layer action and almost, almost inside your wall of force as
your sight begins to come back to you from this vicious cosmic
swirl of power. You see Drill floating in space
as he's tethered to the moon. As you see, his soul begins to
leave his body slowly almost is so badly.

(01:41:15):
Broken. At this point he's just trying
to prepare before he drops this spell.
So how far away is Drill from me?
210 feet knowing that I can't get to him anytime soon.
And I see menace on. The on the approach I am just
going to use my restorative ointment.
How many more? This has to be like your.

(01:41:36):
Last charge I believe you got 4 uses.
Right. Five.
You already used two. I have one more after this.
So that's my action. For a bonus action, I will go
invisible. Just to blend in with this.
Incredibly. Opaque force wall around me.

(01:41:59):
But that is, that is my turn. As I kind of prepare.
For this wall to come down as westay on initial 20 the lair
actually you see the. Moon spins again in place as it
regains some of this magic within it.
During a layer action. You see that the stream of
energy you see this large all within the tethered spirit

(01:42:19):
almost like go towards him as ifit's just absorbed a large chunk
of his life drill. You take 1 failed deficit as he
is sapping your life away. That's not good as we move to
Initiative 16, Which? Is drill.
Listen, best case scenario you. Roll in that 20 worst.
Case scenario. You roll in that one.
So right now he has 111 and 1 and on a.

(01:42:42):
Critical you get 2 of 1 or. The other yeah.
Oh, so if he rolls on that one? Oh, but I'm not going.
To. Here we go.
True, it's. 12 Oh my God bro, you pass.
See. Gotta sweep that shit into
fruition. Dog.
Yeah, yeah. I wasn't scared.

(01:43:03):
No, that might have been the. Most tense.
I got all. Campaign I I got faith I got
faith I got faith I. Had two indomitables so I I
could have I could have tried toreroll those.
Hey listen, my butthole was clenched too boys, OK?
That's right, it doesn't count the same throat.
All right, medic inbound, you hear words reverberate.

(01:43:30):
As we move to initiative, 23 minutes.
I'm going to. Fly right over to drill.
And I'm going to look at Sibley through Sibley's eyes as Gibley.
Is now what does. Gibley look like now as he's
been training with Cara. As you look through Sibley's
eyes, you see. In Riverwood Forest fighting

(01:43:51):
this large demon as it chucks A spear to where it's heart should
be. As it falls to the ground.
You see a tall very muscular Huatowa as he pulls a steel
spear right out of the demon's chest.
As he looks over the distance. As you get this amazing side
profile and you see that he has a red bandana over his forehead

(01:44:14):
as the tail shreds glisten in the wind as he looks like he's
looking over and you see like he's wearing like these tribal
shark tooth necklace and he has like all these tattoos.
Now to add it onto his body. As you see he's looking towards
another demon and hops away towards it.
It's metal. May the forest cry for.
Drell as I. I borrow some of the force

(01:44:37):
energy. As I blast a fifth level cure
wounds into Drell's heart. Fifth level, how much you heal
them for 57? Points of health.
Hell yeah as he remembers the. Drop of the forest.
That they used back in arc 1. Drell, you are healed as the
tether is broken. Between you and the moon, you

(01:44:58):
you feel dream. Thanks, Bennis.
I've got you. No.
Bonus action Writhe my tide more.
What? The fuck yes.
At the end of your. Turn Acrystal's going to make a
legendary action. As he's going to shoot you with
a blast, a blasty blast, a blasty blast of 22 to hit

(01:45:20):
minutes, an astounding 18. Wow, 18 points of force damage,
an additional 15 points of necrotic damage.
Wow, you rolled really high on that.
As we move to initiative 20, which is Acrystal the Armos
Armos, you see that on your turnthat the bloodshot swarm that is
circling the moon is about to hit your two teammates.

(01:45:43):
Armos is going to drop. The Shield.
So I'm going to move 120. South.
I guess whatever you want to call it.
And then he's going to cast. I want to, OK, I know what I'm
going to do. I'm going to put wall of force
as a line so that it blows up before it gets to them.
Or is it going to get exploded as the bloodshot meteors are

(01:46:05):
spinning? Around and about to hit drill
and. Menace.
I throw the wall in front of it in a line to absorb the damage.
Staying on Initiative 20, the meteors make a full rotation.
As it explodes and minutes and drill minutes as you deliver
that that shocking bolt of life back into drill you see this
like meteor coming at you and almost I put up this wall of

(01:46:25):
force and it explodes. As you watch from a very close
but safe distance. As this immense pressure blows
through the wall of force leaving you safe.
As all the other shards begin torotate and take the other ones
place as they are making a full orbit, you see the moon rotates
again, regained something, and then is going to move to

(01:46:47):
initiative 16 which is drill. I'm going to look at Menace and
just say thanks. Buddy, I appreciate the assist.
Now let's just get this done. Yeah, yeah, I'll turn to the
moon and I'm going to take threeattacks.
That's a dirty 20. It's going to use a reaction and
raise it's AC to 25 as it. Casts a shield on itself 26.

(01:47:09):
I'm also gonna use a bonus. Action to move my plus 3 from my
AC to my attack. So now I'm gonna use that.
So with that so I rolled A-23, but then I have the +3 so that
is a 26 to hit as well. Cool.
Okay, so two out of three of my attacks hit.
I'm also going to use one of my superiority diet to make one of
my attacks a menacing attack. That means people get advantage

(01:47:33):
or sorry, I think I want to do distracting.
Yeah, because I, I figure I, I can't frighten this thing, so
I'm just going to use the distracting strike instead.
So that means people can get advantage on it.
So that is going to be 60 damage.
That is going to double to 120. Points of damage as you leave

(01:47:56):
devastating cracks and holes in its crystal surface, and you
hear a visceral yell, a shriek of pain as the moon heartbeat
contracts within itself and expands again.
As the yell reverberates throughthe ash.
You'll see minutes. You're getting all these visions
of demons holding their head in Umbrea, screaming in pain, and

(01:48:20):
you see that all of their eyes light up red as blood begins
viciously from their mouths. Armos.
You look at Reginald and Reginald is holding his head as
his eyes are shifting between red and blue as he's trying to
maintain his own free will and concentration.

(01:48:44):
His eyes are like twitching in place.
Armos bring it home and that's going to be the.
End of my turn as. It's going.
To take a legendary action at the end of your turn and it's
going to use. You see that as a swirl of fire
begins to form around you. Drill, drill, you're going to
make me a Constitution saving throw over DC 20 as a storm of
fire surrounding Oh God, 23 you pass and you're going.

(01:49:07):
To take half this. Damage you're going to take.
Half of 45 points of fire damageas a swirl of fire circles
around you. I'd also like to use an absorb
elements. Yes, Sir, thinks menace.
I don't know. Drill says that out.
Loud, but he definitely. Thinks it as he's absorbing
elements as you move to Edition 23.

(01:49:28):
Menace, Menace. Looks.
Through the eyes of Siddle, we'll call him, as Rommel is
protecting the forest somewhere as well.
You see Rommel one with the trees.
As you see, just a face appears as a this giant gargantuan tree

(01:49:48):
smacks down with one of its mighty birches onto one of these
demons, splatting it in place. As you oversee, you see that the
tree itself is overlooking Riverwood Forest.
Matter of fact, you're walking through the World Tree with a
River. Wood temple was resting
underneath as you see that thereare hordes of demons trying to

(01:50:09):
get in the forest and the forestis defending itself, whether
through trees, through the Koatowas or those that have
vowed to protect it. We can't lose you yet, Drel.
As I use a third level healing word as a bonus action to give
him 17 points of health. Nice.
And I'm going to make some attacks at the moon.

(01:50:32):
That's going to be a Nat 20. There we go.
There it is. Oh goodness.
Make sure you're rolling advantage then.
Well, I already have an advantage.
Oh, sorry, I must. Get the advantage though, and.
20 to hit that hits. That's 40 points of force
damage. Total that is going.
To be doubled as you continue to.

(01:50:52):
Pepper as these shots as they'regetting closer to like doubling
in speed like missiles, as you hear.
More pain and you see blood. Spewing from various cracks as
this radiant energy begins to shine through matter of fact
through the cracks of its crystalline surface, you see on

(01:51:13):
the other side the sun that it was eclipsing deep and the
distance begin to shine through as we move to initiate 20 which
is Armos. Since I get advantage, I'm going
to. Ultra Blast.
Yeah, Take advantage of that advantage.
You know what I'm saying? Yeah, dog.
So I was kind of floating. To the South I I.
Hear Drell shout out to me. I stop in place and start

(01:51:36):
charging up my lasers as I unleash whatever I can at this
at this moon. All right, first ones in 18.
This is 31. It's the. 15.
This is wow. And then a 24.
I get 2. Hits, and then after the damage
comes out, it's a 13 and a 14 doubling through a lobbing these

(01:52:01):
purified Elgin's. Blast as they are exploding on
the surface of the moon to see water by their own profits turn
against me despite the gifts I'm.
Blessed. As a prophet, I can see your
future and it's not. Great, I am the future and you
hear it yell. It's so.
Angry. It is reverberating with hatred.

(01:52:22):
You feel this darkness fill yourbody for a moment, as if you
feel like all the possibilities of your future if he actually
won here and completely controlled everything as he's
destroying the astral sea and everything in the universe
slowly, one world at a time. And you see bleak vision.

(01:52:43):
It leaves you sorrowful. For just a brief moment, this
words just shine. That little bit of truth, that
little bit of doubt for just a small second.
Is this you being desperate if you're trying to play it?
On my feelings as that's happening, I kind of float now.
Me, Drell and Minister are kind of in a line.
We're a scalene triangle right now.

(01:53:04):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. There you go.
At the end of your turn, it's going to make.
An attack against you. As you see.
That it makes this burst of energy armos as it can see you
with a 19 hit. That's going to be 33 points of
damage. 19 of that is force, 12 of that is the chronic.
You're going to make me a constitution check here.

(01:53:24):
A concentration check here. Oh, kind of, I saw. 11 You fell
as the wall of force drops. Is there anything?
You would like to use because next turn is going to hurt you.
Ever used your inspiration die, right?
Oh, it didn't. Oh my God.
I still haven't mine soon. I rolled.

(01:53:45):
It 2. I rolled it too.
As your inspiration falters as. That brief.
Moment of doubt. Does cloud your mind and heart
for a moment as Reginald feels disconnected from you?
Your wall of force goes down as we stay on Initiative 20.
The Comets make a full rotation as they bounce into both Jarrell

(01:54:07):
and Menace. Both of you are going to make me
a Dexterity saving through love.Oh I'm sorry of ADC 1521.
So, Drell, the reason why you didn't have to make this last
time is. Because you willingly.
Attacked it, yeah, and I'll do it again.
And I'll. Do it again.

(01:54:28):
Do I want to use an indomitable Oh I?
Do get to make those with the manage.
Good job Dan, thank you so much.Barbarian stuff.
Doesn't help. And as you pass Drell, you're
going to take 40. Three points of damage here.
This is magical piercing damage as this explodes on impact as

(01:54:50):
you fail your Dexterity saving throw.
Menace, You're going to take half that.
There are still three more of these meteors swirling around
the moon, acting as a natural defense to it.
My mind as you see that the moonfinishes its layer action as it
looks like it regains something as you feel this energy coursing
through the surface and you're seeing what you're seeing now

(01:55:12):
that like a large chunk of its surface is being destroyed from
your attacks. You're seeing this blue
lightning streak going through each of these like red and blue
crystals as like it's like surging, almost like a muscle
tensing like as if a defibrillator is meaning a
muscle for the first time as it regains this power and going to
move to Initiative 16 drill. So what I want to do is I want

(01:55:34):
to use my. Full movement I want to move far
enough away from menace in Armosback kind of the direction we
came so the next meteor like I'min the space where the meteor
that just just exploded would have been next turn you know
what I'm saying so I want to be like in that empty Dead Space
like to the like North East of us yeah you're trying to follow

(01:55:56):
its path so it doesn't hit you and you're.
Yeah, moving along, but I want to stay in.
Distance enough or like if Menace or Armo shouts me I can
still hear them. Does that make sense?
Absolutely. So you're going to be moving
180? Feet.
And then I'm going to take a series of attacks.
Come on. Drill give me some good rules
man that is a 22 to hit it's great oh reaction I was waiting

(01:56:20):
for it it's. You see?
This. Storm.
And Wall of Bloodshots. Take its space as you slash its
shield that it created for itself.
All right, cut that out of the way.
An 18 to hit is the next one. Oh my God, I'm going.
So there we go 31 and then I will bonus action go into a rage
gonna use in a second rage token.

(01:56:42):
I'm gonna use my last superiority dye to make it
another distracting strike. Oh my God dude.
I've never rolled so low and so long of damage.
That is only going to be 30 damage.
That is going to double to 60 points of damage.
As you slash across the surface as you are now seeing large

(01:57:04):
canyons form from your physical attacks from almost as Elgis
blasts and menaces slings, this thing looks heavily created.
It's once smooth crystalline surface now looks like a
battered battlefield, as if it'sbeen attacked with years worth
of cannon shots. If this thing looks credibly

(01:57:24):
bruised and it is bleeding through the wounds that you've
created on its surface. And with each shot, it's
agonizing scream grows louder and louder.
As we end your turn, it's gonna take a legendary action and you
see this giant beam of radiant light shoot towards you.
You're gonna make me a Constitution saving throw with
DC-20. I'm gonna have to use one of my

(01:57:45):
indominables. Because I ruled the 15, but
that's better. A 23.
You're going to take half of 36 points of radiant damage.
As this beam of radiant energy shoots like a laser.
OK, well good thing I use that Indomitable because.
I think you're using him as the Lord.
Intended. Saving your life?

(01:58:07):
It's 18 points. Too much.
Oh my God. As we move to initiative, 23
minutes you see. Minutes kind of float back
towards Armos and. His spirit form goes away.
Oh God Armos, I can only hold that stuff on for so long.
You got to keep going on. For me, OK man, and I'm going to
give him a level 6 your wounds 6, you get 62 points of health

(01:58:29):
bag. Oh my.
God. That changes so many.
Things nice, I was counting my days.
Now all of a sudden. I'm seeing right?
Pastures in my my future. We gotta keep following Drell,
OK? I'll see you over.
There and I zoom over towards Drell.
We'll past him actually as he leaves.

(01:58:49):
I'm like wee, I'm fine. As you zoom away.
Feeling so? Proud of yourself or like you
feel accomplished. You see, as just one of these
red birds shoot from the moon towards Armos, hitting him for a
16 hit, I'm going to use shield.Shield.
Yeah, screw that. Blast as you cast shield.

(01:59:10):
And it deflects. It as we move to Initiative 20.
Which is Armos and you see this moon in the sky dripping using
blood, a waterfall in space. As the blood seeps to the astral
sea begins to blur with spectralspace around you.
Okay, I think I'm going. To.

(01:59:32):
I want this to work. So bad I can't.
I just don't know. I don't know.
Armos has a. Trick in his back pocket, but
he's scared to just use it just yet.
He thinks it might be a little too soon, so he's going to cast
something he's never cast it before.
Before he does it, he's going tomove in the direction of menace,
trying to keep up. He starts floating in that

(01:59:53):
direction, looking at the moon, starting to do a bunch of hand
gestures. And then you speak a word that
can overwhelm the mind of one creature you can see within
range. Leaving it dumbfounded.
If the target has 150HP or fewer, it is stunned.
Power word stunned. Which might might not work but I

(02:00:17):
want to. The whole reason I'm curious is
if there's a power word stunned there is probably.
Should took this one. I know, I know that it.
Probably won't. Work.
I'm just curious. How?
I hope he's searching for something to stop this.
Because it's not a saving throw to start.
It literally just happens. It just happens.
Yeah, there's no saving throw. What's the word you?

(02:00:38):
Speak. Yeah, What's the word you say?
Vengeance. You hear Crystal answer back.
Your. Vengeance will fall.
No way, as you see the moon. Stop rotating and you see all

(02:01:01):
the islands shift in place. So Christo is stunned, so
excited, so excited as Powerworth.
Stunned goes off. A stunned creature.
Is. Incapacitated, it automatically
fails to strengthen Dexterity. Saving throws and attack rolls
you have against it have advantage.
What else are you doing on your turn?

(02:01:21):
I am gearing up for my next turn.
You. Already see me starting to.
I don't know if you'll have a next turn looking towards drill.
I I already know what my next turn is.
Going. To be.
And I'm starting the the ritual,the cantation, the hand

(02:01:44):
gestures, increasing power, and you already hear me sounding
like a Super Saiyan going just freaking out.
Did you see Armos throwing up Naruto gang signs?
Damn Armos. That is so crazy flipping
through my. Book ready and got.
To the last page and you see me ready to go.
You were sitting on that too, you see, Reginald looks at you

(02:02:07):
are most. And you see.
For the first time a gleam of hope was in his eyes, almost as
a sigh of relief whispers through his Bunny like whiskers.
We got this, almost we got this going to be free.
Get ready. You are now get ready, you see.
He sharply. Looks.
Out of Christ though. Pours the large, stunned,

(02:02:28):
bleeding moon in the Astral Sea as we move to Initiative 16.
Taking no legendary action here.Drill.
OK, I'm going to swing. Away, I think he's just going to
say I knew he could do it and that is going to be the first
one is a 26 to hit. The second one is going to be a

(02:02:49):
27 to hit, and the last one is going to be a 27 to hit.
It's that is going to be 98 damage, 98 damage doubling to a
whopping. 196 points of damage as you land on the surface of

(02:03:10):
the Moon as bold feet plant on its crystal surface as you start
to hack away as. Each attack causes a tremorous.
Earthquake through the moon menace and Armos.
You are seeing cracks throughoutthroughout the entire moon as

(02:03:30):
the spot that Drrell is. Sitting in is getting deeper
and. Deeper as he's forming a crater
under his own feet from his strong, vicious, violent attacks
as we move to initiative. 23 minutes.
Menace lands straight on the moon.
Smack. Dab in the middle of the moon.
All right, Laura, please let me your.
Strength. One more time as he turns into

(02:03:52):
tremis form one last time and slams down Julius's Mace right
into the rock of the moon. Take Julius back with you and
pushes himself off 100 feet awayfrom the moon.
And as he's pushing himself off from the moon is going to slam
two final sling bullets into thecenter of this moon, which is

(02:04:14):
good. That's an ad, pumpkin there.
We go 25. As you.
Continue to shoot these miniature cannon shots.
On the moon, as they begin to explode around Drell, who is
still hammering away with his axe, he's like and as I float

(02:04:34):
back, menace. Closes his eyes and.
Leans his head back and looks for Sidinor.
You see Mirinor still with his arm, heavily wounded.
He is holding a giant battle axe, a great axe with one hand
and he is slashing away at various demons on the outskirts
of your tribe as he is keeping demons at Bay with his other

(02:04:58):
tribesmen as he looks like the he is holding them back and
there is a field of demotic corpses leading into the grassy
field. He's just Gregorio and he's like
cuts one in half. Did you hear this bull like
noises? I could do this all day.
I smile as it shifts over to Armos.
You were always there. Smirking behind Reginald.

(02:05:20):
'S eyes feeding on my rage, my grief, and my needs.
Every Shard I absorbed, every soul I bound, my tone gave them
to you. Those souls no longer dormant.
They're whispering now. They are shouting, and through
me they are screaming at you. I'm not just Armos.

(02:05:43):
I'm every death you fed on. I am the rage you left behind,
and I am the storm you thought would never come.
Look around you. These souls will not go out
without a fight. One by one, they're channeling
everything they have into me. Every word they speak is
beginning to punch through the walls of this realm like a war

(02:06:05):
drum. Their chants are getting louder
and louder until one word rises above the rest.
Armo screams out Layla. A name, a memory, a promise, The
true trigger, forged in blood and bonded to a spell that has
been held back for too long. And then silence.

(02:06:31):
Do you hear? Them the.
Ones you fed on. They're screaming through me at
you. And then the screaming returns,
louder than before, the deafening crescendo of 1000
souls demanding justice. Armos raises his hands.
The atomic nights into flames. The world recoils.

(02:06:54):
And with all the fury this planecan carry, Armos casts power.
Word Kill. You cast this.
Spell as the gem begins to. Shine within your tone.
As you cast Power Word Kill withyour speech.
You see that the gem cracks in place, almost In Sync with

(02:07:17):
drills and menaces. You see your gems crack and
rather than a large loud explosion, you see the moon
crack into what seems about to disperse into thousands of
shards. Millions of shards, and rather
than a loud booming explosion, you hear nothing but a hush
whisper. Oh Christopher, never power for

(02:07:41):
God. And you see this bluish.
Tealish Moon. Completely shattered, turning
bright brilliant red as shards begin to fall and begin to
displace as the form of the moonis now losing its integrity and
slowly drifting apart. As it looks like it's falling

(02:08:02):
and dissolving, all the blood shots furthest away from its
origin begin to dissolve. First menace.
You're getting all these visionsthrough your mind back and you
can bring up all these demons suddenly disappearing into a
blood like dust as they seep into the ground.
All these blood shards slowly really dissipating into the air
as you're seeing demons just fall into the earth and being

(02:08:26):
absorbed as if the blood shards were never there.
And you see the platforms that you 3 are standing on slowly
disappearing as the three of youare knocked back with extreme
forests back onto one of these blood Shard islands that are
disappearing as you tumble and catch yourself bouncing high
throughout the astral sea. Catching yourself as the three

(02:08:48):
of you land on your butts looking at the falling destroyed
moon. A Christo, his phylactery has
been slain. As the three of you stare at
this brilliant sight with a hugesigh of relief.
Christo is dead. I think we did it.
We did it. Who's gone?

(02:09:08):
Almost. He's gone.
As Menace hits. The dirt and the gravel and the
and. Whatever this platform is,
tremys form explodes away and menace is back into his own
form. And then this crater is
breathing. Oh my God, You see, Reginald
falls off your shoulder, falls onto his.
Back and looking up, breathing heavily as it slowly comes down

(02:09:33):
as you finally feel Reginald relaxed for the first time.
I no longer. I no longer feel his presence.
You're in your 8th wing today. Reginald as you get up.
You look over. To the Umbrea.

(02:09:54):
Way in the. Distance, miles and miles and
miles away, and you see that thedark red clouds with the black
smog begin to lift and fade as sunlight shine through the
broken shards of the moon that hang overhead.
This false moon finally sheddingdaylight onto Umbrea in the

(02:10:16):
first time in two years as you realized you were inside Bei
loon much longer than you have realized.
A lot of time has passed since you were in there, and the war
in Hume Brea had raged on while you were fighting a Christo from
the inside out. The world had aged a full year.

(02:10:39):
As time seemed to blink for you,it turned on its own without
you, and you are still on this bloodshot island that is slowly
disappearing beneath your feet as the moon begins to dissolve
itself. What are the three of you doing
as you are now looking at a saved umbrella?
I look at Reginald and say that.Silence you.

(02:11:01):
Hear. It's the absence.
There's no more whispers, no more chains, no more leeching in
the darkness. I think we did.
It feels, It feels good. You see that Reginald's ears
begin to fade as his ears turn to this red bloodshot dust.
Reginald. No.

(02:11:22):
What are you doing? What's happening?
Goes I'm just I'm just relaxing.I'm.
Finally enjoying the freedom as you see, like Reginald gets up
and like looks around, he goes, it's over.
I don't have to answer him anymore.
It's. All over, but what's happening?
I don't understand over. Finally over.

(02:11:44):
You see he. Looks out into the astral sea
and he sees like everything thathe has helped as you start to
see that he like slowly fades like you 3 need to get home.
I'm going to help you get there.Wait, no.
You're coming with us. Why?
What do you mean I'm? Not coming with you?

(02:12:04):
Don't talk like that, Reginald. We're friends for Life, OK?
As I get up out of the crater and crawl out, no menace.
We're we're friends forever. You see he.
Like looks up at you and he stares back out to the astral
seat. Hey, right about that, Reginald.
Bestest friends. What to do over at school out
there? Except I have.
Huh. Tethered to the.

(02:12:25):
Material plane. And you see that like he takes
one of his Bunny paws and he slashes the air in front of his
face and he correlates this portal and you know, the other
side. You see, with the help of
Bowden, a portal appeared to Lord Baron's divider back in the
destroyed open in the spot wherehe was purified.

(02:12:46):
Glad I still have a connection to this place.
I didn't think he would still behere by the time I needed it.
You're coming with us? What do you mean?
You could just come in the port with us.
You don't have to. What?
What? I don't understand.
You look at Reginald and he and he puts his paw up and you see
his claws. His Bunny like claws is sticking
out and you see more of his earsare disappearing.
He goes, I'm him almost. If I'm here, it means he's.

(02:13:09):
Still here? When he goes, I.
Go. He knew this.
No, we didn't. We did not know this.
We didn't know this. It's got to be another way I
start flipping through my. Buck, you look through.
The end to the your pact you made.
With with Reginald and you see that the pact is no longer
glowing. It has been fulfilled as you no
longer feel a connection to Reginald, a matter of fact a lot

(02:13:32):
of your spells that you would get through your walk abilities.
You feel a disconnect. You still have access to can
trips, your basic spells and anyspells you learn through your
adventure. And anything that you learn
through the Pact of the Fiend and your Elder's blast no longer
is accessible to you as you are no longer have this bond

(02:13:53):
Reginald, as he has fulfilled the pact that you have reached
the end of your agreement and your powers.
No. Longer being borrowed.
Look, here's what we're going todo.
You're I'm going to sign this. And then you're going to get
some of my power. And then we'll be you'll be able
to come with us, I'm pretty sure.
Hang on. I got to I got to think of a way
to incantations. You see, he hops like a buddy

(02:14:18):
onto your book in between. The pages to stop you from
failing. And the pages crumble beneath
his feet as he lands on the bookMidterm.
Almost. Listen to me, I am made of him
and you see that like he holds out his arm as his paw begins to
turn to bloodshard and then slowly disappear.
I only exist because he exists. I can only ever exist if he is

(02:14:40):
still here. The world is better without him
here, and if that means I have to go away too, it is worth it
because I am finally free. When he says that, Menace pulls
out the two bloodshards. Of Layla and Hubert Hubble, You
take out the two blood shards and you see that they are.
Also slowly disappearing. But you see something else.

(02:15:02):
You see a blue stream of light leave from them as they ascend
upward. They spiral into the astral sea.
And then as you look out into the astral sea, you notice that
there are millions of other streams of light coming from the
center of a Christos exploding moon in the middle of the
phalactomy. Millions of single streams of

(02:15:23):
blue light similar to the tornado of souls that you saw
back when you killed the false hydra.
All these souls are leaving and flowing to their proper resting
place, and you look out to the world of Humbrea as you see that
the red clouds are finally lifted, as you see thousands and
thousands of similar streams of light leaving to Bray itself.

(02:15:45):
As all these souls begin to passon to their rightful resting
place, you're meeting the gods that they worship, you're going
to the afterlife that they have believed in, and they are
finally free. Any demon that was currently
alive or trapped in a Bloodshardis finally free, and all the
souls that a Christo was actively devouring have been

(02:16:08):
freed. You see that the Bloodshard of
Layla and Hubert Hubbell follow the same path.
I go over to Armos and I place the shards in his hand.
I look at Reginald before speaking with Armos.
Reginald, I'm going to miss you so much.
Don't go, please. And it gives us Reginald a hug.
We miss you too. Minutes.
He hugs back. We'll see each other again
someday, right? Right.

(02:16:31):
Yeah, yeah, of course. I'll leave you with some some of
my best. Hay, all right.
And I. Put some in his palm, that's
still good. He looks at it, and he smiles a
bit. And I look at Armos.
I'll see you out there. I'll leave you 2 alone.
I think Drill walks up to Reginald and just gives him a
good. Scratch and says I'll see you

(02:16:51):
later buddy. Yeah, drill, drill was the.
Thanks for showing me all those great workout.
Tips. You really helped the gut, you
know, the gut health. Just make sure you keep them up.
Gay every day. Yeah, Look how much weight I'm
losing. Right now, he seems like his
stomach. Is disappearing as he gets like.
Wow, he's really cutting. The pounds, yeah, you know
you're. Working bladder muscles and
Reginald. Looks up at Armos and then looks

(02:17:13):
at the two of you. He's looking at like all three
of you. Like is he Pangos?
You know I never never got that ace wing, but you know, I think
I got 3 good ones right here, you know?
You see a tear forming in Reginald's eye.
Since he's still like on the book, I push him.
Aside and tear out the page thatwas our contract and kind of
origami a wing for him, almost as slowly, realizing that

(02:17:38):
there's nothing he can do to save him.
He's going to fit. You see, He tries to put it in
one of his wounds. Oh.
It's perfect, let him in the right choice.
And I guess I'm sorry I put. Your uncle in, you know, sent
him for suffering for all eternity and his and he looks at
you and he's talking about Pharaohs.
You know, I think we all played our role and we're going to meet

(02:18:00):
you guys. As he begins to fade away,
there's no make sure. I'll keep a little company.
And you see that he. Completely dissolves into the
Astral sea as the island that you're on slowly becomes smaller
and smaller. As all the blood shards begin to
dissipate, as the stretches of the astral sea seem to become a

(02:18:23):
lot lighter. As the evil presence is finally
gone. And as you look around as the
moon finishes dissolving, the three of you step through the
portal as you lay 10 feet above the ground back in.
The bullpen. Crash onto the floor, into this
empty bullpen and Lord Baron's the light.

(02:18:43):
Please don't tell me you take any damage.
As. You look up as the three of you
land on the floor. You see this?
Massive hole in the ceiling, thesame 1 you fell through several
arcs ago where when you look through the hole in the ceiling
you saw that moon. You now see nothing but a rising
sun as the forever knight finally turns today.

(02:19:05):
And the three of you lay there as you hear sounds.
Somebody's here, somebody's here, somebody's here.
And you see all these little heads pop up, all of these
halflings, gnomes, what else? All these people in like various
patchwork armor, Central Collegerobes, wizard robes.
You see all the people come back.
It's like, it's them, it's them,they're back, They're back.

(02:19:29):
And you see that they cheer out,be like.
Hey. What's it Dem?
It's the The moon's gone. You look up, it's like it's
daylight and everybody is cheering at the three of you as
the three of you are laying prone on your.
Back. Looking up at the rising sun
through the whole of Lord bangs the Bible.
I mean this has his like left forearm over his eyes and his.
Like sobbing and he's like can'thandle all this emotions that

(02:19:52):
are going through his body from joy to hope to depression and
sadness to hatred to like everything.
Armos is on all fours, just. Punching the ground, just full
of rage and anger and sadness. I think Darrelle is just on his
back and. He looks up and sees the sun and

(02:20:13):
I think he just takes 1 big giant breath and just exhales of
just full relief of like we did it.
You know, it's like oh fuck we actually did it.
I think the. I think probably the gnomes.
And Halflings and all the people.
There have to pick Menace up offthe ground to get him up and

(02:20:33):
he's crying. He's like, I didn't.
Think I was going to make it out.
I'm so happy to see you guys again.
And he's hugging everybody and saying everybody's name and.
Like give him high fives and hugging him and just crying and
crying and crying as you are crying and all these emotions.

(02:20:54):
Are spewing out. You hear a echoey piece of wood
clink across the porcelain flooras you see Lord Baron comes out
and he looks very a little bit older than the last time you saw
him. And you're really seeing it in
the way he walks and his face isnow aged.
He still has his green gem around his neck that is glowing.

(02:21:14):
Am I glad to see the three of you?
Thank you. Isn't.
Enough what? The three of you have done.
Today we thought you failed, butyou have proved me wrong.
You have proved us. Don't say anything and I go hug
his leg. You hug his leg and you see
Kimmy Joe is there and he's. Wearing like this patchwork

(02:21:35):
leather armor and he's standing side side by side with Lord
Baron goes it's OK, rest easy. Him and Kimmy Joe are both
crying doing their five minute long.
Handshake. Secret handshake, the three of
you feel. Excruciatingly exhausted as now
you are back from the astral sea.
All of these wants and needs at the body craze all step back to

(02:21:58):
reality as you feel this immensehunger and this devastating
exhaustion. As the three of you are coming
down from this adrenaline rush and before you know it, the
three of you are blacked out. You hear the faint mumbled words
that sound like pudding. It's like rushed easy will take

(02:22:19):
care of you heroes as. You feel.
Like you're carried off, then weare gonna do a bit of a time
skip here. The three of you are out for
five days as you are recouping from the extreme exhaustion as
you are each placed in your own beds.
And after five days of sleeping,the three of you have finally

(02:22:40):
come too. And the first thing the three of
you do is eat a large meal that has been prepared for you in
your room. Whatever foods you crave that
they've come to learn is laid out like a buffet.
And like an animal, the three ofyou attack this like 7 course
meal, filling your empty stomachs as you feel like you

(02:23:00):
haven't eaten in ages. And as you regain your strength,
a total of seven days have passed and the three of you are
now ready to finally head out into the world and return home.
You haven't been able to hear much news because of your
unconscious state. After you eat your meals and get
ready, the three of you are within your own mind ready to

(02:23:21):
face the world again. Meet up with Lord Baron in his
destroyed office. As you see like a large chunk of
it reveals to like the outside world as the sun beats on his
back and you see that his back is to the sun and he's facing
you. As the three of you are sitting
in his office and he's letting you know everything that has
happened in the last year that you were away and all the

(02:23:43):
changes that happened to Brea while you were gone, you see
Menace sipping on a cup of coffee.
Oh man, I was so glad. Novo's car came.
Through right before and he's he's just sipping on some
coffee. And joins Lord.
Baron in his office, as he was requested.
He lets you know the state of Aramore.
He lets you know the state. Of like the cities and the

(02:24:05):
Kingdom itself. He also like tells you that
while you away, the plague had spread into the north into North
Trellis. And although N Trilis was not
too badly left off because cities fight for themselves up
there, there is no like Kingdom defense like the Kingdom of Brim
and North and the Free folk all fight for themselves.
Small towns across the continentof Trilis have all fell.

(02:24:28):
Cities like Dilmore and Gilo arestill standing, but they are
struggling. Lucius Farm and Vineyard, the
main food source for both the Kingdom of Brim and the Kingdom
of Aramore, is completely eradicated.
He let's you know minutes that the Ivory Boulders is still
standing despite casualties to the clan itself, and the Kambuki
Isles including San Lo are slowly coming back as they were

(02:24:51):
also affected. However, it seemed like he let
you know that South Trailers wasthe main focus of a Crystal's
attack because he has attacked the Heartland in the past and he
had briefly attacked San Lo. Because of Pharaoh's promise,
Mbuki Owls was relatively left alone.
He has also ensured you that during your time when you were
asleep, he had communications with the Queen of Aramor.

(02:25:13):
She had let her know of everything that would happen,
their dealings, and has acted asan advocate for the three of you
and clearing your names. The three of you are no longer
wanted by the Kingdom of Aramor because you were known as the
Bloodshot Bandits, but rather you.
You are now the Saviors and he has cleared your name within the
Kingdom. Oh thank God I have arranged

(02:25:33):
transport for. The three of you.
To head back to your homes and Iwould imagine the drill you
would like to go back to the Ashbourne, to your clan and
minutes you would like to returnto the ivory boulders.
But it's almost I do have transport for you, but there is
no destination in mind because while it's come to my knowledge
that your home was destroyed years ago, the Lord no longer

(02:25:56):
exists. I ask that you're more than
welcome to stay here, but there's anywhere you would like
to go. Almost kind of broken at this
point, he thinks. He.
Has an idea and points to it on the map that's in front of him.
Are you pointing to my tribe? I can't see.
Are you going to join us? I told you 5 days ago you could.
I raise my eyebrows at him and Iget up on the stool and I see

(02:26:17):
what he's actually pointing at. Where it is is a forest outside
of the. First town where we all met,
which was Gilo. We could arrange transport for
Gilo Absolutely, absolutely the.City still stands and well, due
to its high walls and favorite location, it did somewhat well
and it would benefit from your presence.

(02:26:37):
We'll make sure you get you there within the next few days.
There's nothing that we can reward you with.
There's there's nothing worthy of your of your achievements,
but the queen is definitely going to make a namesake day for
the three day where the false moon fell from the sky and is
going to most likely celebrate annually of this achievement.

(02:26:58):
As the heroes of the Kingdom, you deserve no less goodness
celebrate us. I don't really think I want.
That No, I mean, you guys were fighting for a.
Year while we were gone. There's so many other people
that deserve a namesake rather than the three of us.
Yeah, girls right. We are still accounting the
names of the fallen. The wall was relentless,

(02:27:19):
especially in the city of Stratham where you see Lord
Baron like looks off to the sideand it's like taking a deep
breath, He said looks out to thedestroyed wall behind him that
overlooks into the Kingdom of Broom as it looks at the north
side of South trailers. And he goes.
It was all worth it, because without them, and without you,
everything would be gone. With your permission, I'll

(02:27:41):
advocate as you're. The ambassador.
For you 3, as I'm sure a lot of people going to want to talk to
you know the Queen is going to want to summon you as she
already tried several times, butI kept the messengers at Bay
while you rested. And you're going to ask you
questions. You're going to be visited by
Wizards and all scholars alike. They're going to want to know
where you were, how it happened.You want to want to know about
this this realm that you came tobe, if it if he was a lich, what

(02:28:05):
this new possible creature was, if there was more of him.
But if you allow me, I'll act asthat wall that works for me.
I don't know about these guys, but I'm certainly.
Happy to go to Aramour. 1st. I know there's a lot to be
discussed over there and they need to know what happened, so
we're going to arrange that it can't be a.
Long trip for me, but I can. I could go visit for a.

(02:28:26):
Day or two I need to get home. I need to check on my tribe and
make sure they're. OK, they don't have the city's
defenses up there, and then whenthe time comes, I'll meet and
talk to whoever I need to, but at least right now I need to get
home and check on my tribe. Armos is in the back of the
room, and he kind of scoffs at the idea.
Of standing in front of a bunch of people trying to explain

(02:28:47):
everything after the sacrifices that the three of us made.
He just shakes his head no, pacing back and forth like
eagerly wanting to get out of this conversation.
Well, let's goodbye for now in a.
Heartfelt thank you in. The events that you cannot reach
me Co counsel Joe Jofferson willbe my next appointee.
You can voice all concerns to him in my absence.

(02:29:10):
He's referring to Cami. Joe your carriages are waiting
outside and speak to you soon. Please get some rest and I hope
where you want to go is nothing short that of relief and relaxed
for you. No time to rest here, there's
still so much to do. I agree.
Just take a while to rebuild theKingdom.
But we will. Rebuild the Kingdom and the

(02:29:31):
three of you head to your carriages outside by the by the
gates. As you see there are three
carriages waiting for you, each equipped with their own rider.
Minnis walks out with the guys and kind of takes a deep breath
in. I don't think he's stepped
outside much at all and has beenhelping everybody recoup in the
castle this whole time. Mend to wounds and help people

(02:29:51):
heal. Get back together.
Thanks guys of. Course we wouldn't have been.
Able to do it without you, menace.
Andy Ormos, no thanks for accepting me.
Thanks for believing in me. Nobody's ever done that.
I I don't have many words to describe how grateful I am to

(02:30:11):
you. 2 I mean, those people weredumb, menace.
To not see the potential you hadand the person you could be,
man. So of course, I mean, you guys
are my best friends and I'm gladyou guys came into my life as
well. And of course this is not
goodbye. It's just we'll see you guys
later. Armas looks at Drell and he says

(02:30:34):
you always ran towards. The fight, no matter how bad it
looked, you reminded me of what it took to stand your ground,
even though everything inside ofme says burn it down.
You don't owe this world anything, but it's better
because you were in it. And then I look over at menace.
You never stop seeing the good in people, even in me.
You taught me how to keep going without letting me turn into

(02:30:58):
something worse. If anyone can bring light into
this world that's left, it's you.
Just don't you ever fucking waste it on someone like me
again. And he gives them a hug and
walks away. We got physical affection from
Hormos. Yeah, I think menace, literally.
Sits there in shock. That Hormos initiated the hug.

(02:31:22):
I feel like Darrell and Minnis, kind of.
Watch him walk. Away and leave as Armos is
walking away. Drell just yells Armos.
Just remember, it's always good.To be a little fiery and.
Then he like let's Armos walk away.
He smiles and walks away after Armos disappears, Minnis.
Turns to drill. Hey, listen, I'm going to be

(02:31:44):
going to Aramore first. I'm just going to hand all the
papers and you see stacks overflowing in my cart.
I'm going to hand all the papersover to her of everything that
happened, you know, and basically act as a notary for
for all of us. So I'm just going to make sure
that happens. And then I'm going to head back
to my tribe. I'm going to get everything back
together. You know, I I have been in

(02:32:05):
contact with my dad a bit and Miranor and I think we're going
to think we're going to reconnect with our kitten back
in San Lo, probably end up goingthere.
So just a case you you need to know where we are.
That's where we'll be. Yeah, that sounds good.
I'm headed north. Probably going to be.
There for a little bit, make sure everyone's OK and initially
try to help them get back up on their feet.
And then I'm probably going to head South and, you know, try to

(02:32:28):
help just rebuild, especially the towns and villages and
places we've been. And then I don't know, I don't
know what's in store for me after that, but I guess we'll
see. Oh, and here, take this too.
And Drill pulls out the the letter that Menace wrote just in
case he didn't make it. And he just hands it back to

(02:32:49):
Menace and he goes, I guess I didn't need this after all.
I'm like, yeah, you're right after all.
I didn't read it, I promise. Here's your letter, and I handed
back the papers that were foldedup.
Wait, what the hell? Is that, oh, I mean.
Yeah. Thank you so much.
Yeah. All right, Darrell, let's find

(02:33:10):
ways to connect our tribes into the future.
All right, sounds good. Take care and Minnis gets in.
His carriage and. Heads away Darrell, as you head
in yours minnis takes 5 minutes longer to leave.
As the person who's holding the who's driving the carriage loads
his 96 box of papers onto the car, he goes.
How great, right? So much He was asleep for five

(02:33:34):
of the days. I don't understand.
I don't understand. And you see that as Menace's
carriage travels along the road along the Capitol Road to the
city of Aramore. You see, like loose papers are
like blowing away in the wind because it's just too many
notes. Yeah.
Oh, man, it's a good thing I have so many copies.
Half the. Crates are just.

(02:33:54):
Copies what you see you see. The cars the rear of the.
Yeah. Well, you return back.
To the Ashbourne clan and almostyou go back to the town of Gilo.
The first stop you make to rest your hat as you devise next

(02:34:15):
steps is the Running Goblin Tavern at Duncan and where you
originally met Jarell and Menace.
The Tavern is still standing. It has some light damage to it,
but because it was in the centerof the town, it didn't take too
much wear and tear from the old raging war Outside.
The city is well maintained, although its walls are heavily
battered inside. After a few days of travel,

(02:34:36):
three days have passed. You see that Duncan is inside
fixing up his Tavern? He has a huge smile on his face
when he sees you, old friend. Look at you.
You're back. This is all thanks to you 3.
I come over here, lad. I got a trick at your name on
it. And that tab from that for all
those years ago. Were you staying here

(02:34:57):
freeloading? Don't even worry about it.
It's. Yeah, That's why I was here.
I was going to pay. That oh, thanks, they gained
interest, but don't even worry about it.
Don't even. Worry about it lad, I'm sure you
have places. To be but you.
May stay here for as long as youwant on us and you hear him yell
into the bag. Hey lad, why don't you go ahead
and bring out a couple of cups and get the good elf wide.

(02:35:19):
You hear some heavy stepping of metal armor and you see about
the size of a team of a young team is one of these fellamental
pieces of armor. As you see this green flame
ignite you understand it's elemental speak.
You notice that this was the Greek fellamental that Duncan
has been looking for. You are looking at the soul of
Bushwick. Oh Barrys kid, the kid that was

(02:35:42):
taken. Episode.
Two in arc 1 as he was turned unfortunately into a fellow
mental, But because of your helpback in arc 8 when Duncan was
looking for Bushwick soul because he felt that he was
alive, he had found that green flamed soul in a jar and found a
suit of armor and he took him home.
This is my little apprentice here.
It'll make a fine, fine member of the town.

(02:36:04):
How? How tall is he?
He's about four foot 4, foot 8. He's like the size of like a
teenager. But he's like, it's just a sort
of like a modified piece of armor.
Yeah, we, we did some modifications.
We wanted to make him feel a little more appropriate to his
age. So I kneeled down and grabbed by
the shoulders. Just smile, almost like that, he

(02:36:25):
asks for his toy train. Toy train as the flame erupts
from inside the helmet as that was like the first clue that you
had that you used because he left his like little iron behind
and you don't have it on you. Yeah, I was.
Going to say I don't, I didn't. Have it and he understands
we're. Going to go ahead and fade away
as you rest your. Hat there a whole week later we

(02:36:45):
are in the Ashbourne clan. As you are walking through heavy
snow you don't see any blood charts but there is frozen blood
scattered throughout the snow inwith trolls.
As you travel through the Kingdom of Brim and no man's
land you saw that a lot of the towns have taken damage but most
of them are still sturdy and still still up.
None of them fell because of their more animalistic nature,

(02:37:09):
they're more feral nature. And you return home and you see
that there are less tribesmen than you are used to seeing.
It looks like your numbers have been thinned out.
However you do see the clan is still intact as you as you are
now greeted with the warmth of the lava flow as you are finally
home. Back the volcano of the

(02:37:30):
Ashbourne and you see the Goliaths look over to you and
alike. Sound on drill is back.
Drill of the Ashbourne is back. And you hear this clamouring
hammer resonate down as this battle horde is sounded as all
the people immediately. Stop what you're doing and.
Rush to the entrance of your home.

(02:37:52):
Hey, what's going on everybody? Sorry.
Sorry it took so much better now.
Yeah, we see you finally went. Out and slayed that.
Monster, you were looking. For art.
And you see all these Goliaths come over and they're all
putting their arm on you and they're trying to, like, weigh
you down, but like, you're so much stronger than them that
like you're holding your own. But like they're trying to like,
push you, push you around, like trying to hype you up.

(02:38:13):
Yeah. You know, You know what?
Had to take care of a few thingsbut it.
Looks like you guys held your. Own while I was gone, huh?
Oh, it was a fight here. It was a fight.
It was demons running around. It was driving mammoths freaking
out. It was it was it was hailing
blood. I would like to walk over to the

(02:38:35):
wall. Where all the weapons are and
pull out my dad's axe and kind of look at it one last time and
then just put it on the wall. You look for a spot on the wall
as you look at your father. 'S axe.
You look up at the wall and there's a space, and the space
is right next to Aunt Dory's great sword.

(02:38:55):
You see your Aunt Dory's great sword hanging on the wall, this
giant sword, and you see at the edge of that.
Giant sword. Is a demon skull that has been
cracked and lodged into the edgeof the sword and as you look it
up like about to hang it up, you're looking at it smiling a
familiar face puts his hand on your shoulder and he goes Dory

(02:39:20):
is we were attacked this huge mammoth broke corrupted
splintering with all these spiked shards and throwing a
rampage and hurling these balls of blood at people and to see
her she came out charging and smacked.
That thing, right? In the head so hard that the
sword was stuck in its skull andwe couldn't even free the sword

(02:39:42):
of the from the skull without removing and we just thought it
looked awesome. Yeah.
It's pretty metal and it definitely sounds like her.
It's even more metal is that theimpact was so strong.
She died on the hit. Fuck, all of her strength went
into it and she died. That's so metal.
That's insane. We.
Waited for the dust to settle. And they just stood.

(02:40:03):
There while the bloody. Mammoth laid limp.
She just stood in place, feet firmly into the ground before
sunk her into the earth at leastthree feet, the sheer force of
her fatal blow. So we decided to leave.
It on there, we thought it looked awesome.
Yeah, it's pretty cool and I'm glad she went out the way she.
Wanted to me too speaking that. Is there anyone around that?

(02:40:25):
Knows. About like the like the rage
blood type thing because it likeit I know wasn't only me and
Dory, but there was like specific people.
I just want to see if it's stilllike a thing like within like
the bloodline of the Ashborn or if it's like gone or whatever.
Nobody seems to have any side effects of it.

(02:40:45):
You do. Know that the curse has ended OK
with you, but they're still residuals within.
Yeah, as you hang up this axe onto the wall next.
To your and Dory. 'S blade, Well, you knew this
from when you defeated a curse. So that the gem is gone, so that
it is no longer socketed with that blue acrylic.
Also goes for almost his tome. It meant as a.
Sling as it disappeared with Yeah.

(02:41:08):
And then can I make a perception?
Check to see if mammy. 'S one of the mammoths that.
Survived. Yeah, go ahead.
Or like how, what kind of role I'm going to say.
Yes. So I'm going to see.
That one of the mammoths that are.
In there, relaxing is Mammy the Mammoth, and she had like
snooted at you as you walked. In Oh my God.
You fucking made it. That's insane.

(02:41:30):
You. See Mammy.
Stomps in rebuttal. As it seemed a little mad at you
at first, but happy that you it was Menace's idea.
I'm so sorry. From there, we're going to skip
the. Menace, menace as you.
Arrived in Aramore. You had delivered all this
paperwork and you had given themcopies and copies of your
breakdown of what happened and the story through your eyes and

(02:41:51):
however you wanted to present it.
You met the Queen and the queen was this young woman, early 40s
it seems like with long silver hair in shape, wearing full
plate armor and she has a Squirenext to her with a holding a
massive club with a steel Mace that's holding her weapon.

(02:42:13):
It's giant 2 handed Mace and yousee that she is always ready for
battle and she you've learned that through her personality
because this is the first time meeting her.
She's very stern. She is war tempered and she has
although has a a solid resolve. She looks like she would be the
first one in line of battle and you see that her weapon is

(02:42:35):
extremely bloodied and used heavily.
Seems like it was recent. And you deliver all these notes
and she thanks you for for all your aid.
And she acknowledges the Ivory Boulders as an official alliance
with the Kingdom of Aramore and acknowledges them as a
settlement within the Kingdom itself.
However does not demand fealty to the crown as thanks without

(02:42:57):
the taxes and stuff. Because you are a Minotaur clan,
you don't believe in that stuff.And she accepts that.
I get her to sign my wanted poster.
She has a Squire sign it in her behalf.
As to like not do anything on any official documents, it is
nothing but formality. He still likes it and you return

(02:43:18):
home and as the carriage. Returns to the ivory.
Boulders through its wooden gates and you get out.
You see that everybody immediately stops what they're
doing and they all turn to look at you and you're all shocked as
they heard the stories and what Miranor have been spreading as
there are all these different SIDS around.

(02:43:39):
These SIDS have been sprouting off from Sydanor as all these
people are in disbelief that therumors that they've been hearing
and the sudden change of attitude from Miranor from what
he has witnessed. They all looked at you shocked
and you're all speechless and you walk down the center Rd. of
your town towards like the main cave.
You begin to walk home. You know your mother had passed

(02:44:00):
and your father is there. You see that as you long walk
along the main path is people just like slowly crowd but do
not approach you in disbelief. You see at the top of the hill
leading up to your home you see Titus.
You don't see any facial expressions as the shadow covers
his face as his head is almost down but he is standing before
you. You see that he's heavily

(02:44:20):
bandaged and he has a crutch from a bruised leg.
You see that he slowly walks towards you.
Dad. He keeps walking towards you in
silence. Just say what you're going to
say, OK? I know.
I went out, I was hasty. I, I should have been here.
I, I should have been helping. There's so many things I could
have done better. Just say it, OK?

(02:44:42):
He walks closer as you see he's about 10 feet away as you do not
see his face as it's covered by this long black hair.
Everybody else, get your get your jokes in.
How could a minotaur? Like me, help for the clan, help
the world. Just get him out.
As he's looking at everybody coming out of their houses, he
cuts you off as he drops the crutch.
Goes down to a knee and embracesyou in a tight hug as you feel

(02:45:09):
the tears stream down his cheeksonto your shoulder and he cries
softly to himself and he says I am so so sorry menace, I am so
sorry. I have never been more wrong in
my entire life, and I took my resentment put on you.

(02:45:30):
And he squeezes tighter. Menis is definitely in shock for
a moment because he played this out a. 1000 times in his head
and this is not even close to any of the scenarios that he
thought because he overthought and overthought and overthought.
And so for maybe 5 seconds he's just sitting there in shock, not
knowing what to do and then slowly brings his arms up and

(02:45:50):
hugs his dad. I love you dad.
I'm sorry. I love you Menis.
I wish I was here. I could have I.
Could have saved Mom. You see that?
More hears run down his face. And he slowly, like, gets up and
breaks the hug. He looks at you.
It's like, I think you got a little bit taller since the last
time I've seen you. And he sees it like he's like
looking at your whole body. He's like feeling your

(02:46:11):
shoulders. He's touching your face.
He goes, When did your eyes? When did your eyes become gold?
Listen. I met.
Your friend Dad. I met Pharaohs.
Yeah. Yeah, that's the name I haven't
heard in a. Long time and.
Turns out we are blood related, not.

(02:46:33):
That I didn't believe it. But even though we had hard.
Times. I'm proud to call you my dad.
Chris's teeth a little, but you can hear the genuine tone in
Menace's voice as he says that to his dad.
We both know I don't deserve that title.
And I can explain everything please here.

(02:46:56):
Let's go inside. I'll.
Makes him a mom snickerdoodles. I have the recipes.
You go inside with your father as another time skip.
Happens and he explains to you who Ferris.
Is and then the. Relationship between him, your
mother and you and how they werefriends, they used to be
adventuring and how Pharaohs wasthe alleged God of luck.

(02:47:17):
And he kind of didn't believe itfor a long time.
But you know, after he gave his like blessing to your mother,
Mira and all that, he was alwaysjealous because he thought that
something else happened. He couldn't believe that he was
friends with a real God rather than giving a blessing because
Mira had asked him for help to have you.
And because of that, you had gained some of his
characteristics through that godly connection.

(02:47:40):
And he always resented him for you.
And that resentment always passed on to you because you
remember like these moments of happiness with him.
And then whenever he was reminded of Pharaohs in some
way, because you gave you got a lot of his personality traits.
You got a lot of his, you know, interests and such.
He he grown resentment over the years and he always admitted
that yes, he wanted his son morelike Urinor because he was

(02:48:01):
somebody that was more he lookedcloser to him and his friend who
passed away in battle and his dad and you.
Two kind of reconciled things tothe best he can, but you know
that. Years of mistreatment can't
always make up, but you 2 are now on the solid terms of
rebuilding that connection. Now that the false Hydra's
influence is no longer hovering in humberry anymore, we're going

(02:48:23):
to skip one year later. In that year, the three of you
had started making some preparations in your next step
goals, starting with menace. One year later, you find
yourself sitting in front of a grave site, which is your mother
and you're healed. And in that time over the last
year, you had agreed to approachMirandor for the rightful spot

(02:48:45):
of Chieftain. And that is the day.
Today is the day that you chooseto face Mirandor.
This is in San Lo by the way. The at this point they've.
Probably all traversed and met back up with, you know, the
relatives in San Lo reconnected.You know, Minnesota has helped
new me with the bookstore. They're dating.
It's lovely, It's awesome, perfect.

(02:49:08):
It's. And at this point, Minnis and
Miranor are probably. Like, in some ways, just good
friends, you know, Chummy. Yeah.
They still go to each other's nerves for sure, because they
both call each other out for things.
Miranor will call Minnis out when he's being overbearing.
He'll call Miranor out, you know, when he's not being
emotional enough. And when this day comes, it's

(02:49:32):
gotten. To a point where they've.
Made it known to everybody in the tribe, it's not just like,
hey, we're going to do this on her own.
They want it to be an event and they make it such.
And before you meet up with thatencounter, you are.
Reminiscing about your mother ather resting place that you've
decided and you're just reminiscing of all the good
times. And you know that this is a big

(02:49:53):
day for you. And every big event over the
last year or so, you've always started your days here just
spending time with your mother or the remembering her.
And then you feel a presence next to you as something sits
down and you feel like you're alone.
Nobody's looking upon you. Nobody is there visiting with
you. And you see this ethereal like
spirit sickness miniature, but it is not your mother, but it is

(02:50:17):
feminine in shape. But you recognize this.
The last time you saw this figure was in Mark One when you
met Melora, and sure enough, it is her once again.
Oh, my goodness. You have a Sid, Laura.
Yeah. You see, like this little
spectral lit Sid come. Out she goes.
You wouldn't believe the lens. The great lens.
This little guy went to find me and I rejected it the first time

(02:50:39):
and he was relentless. He wanted to be by my side no
matter what. I have trapped this thing in
little pockets of of dimensions you wouldn't wouldn't even know.
Trapped it into Faye. Wilde, It still found me.
Yeah, it sounds like us. It's good to see you again.
It's good to. See you we had a discussion at
length and I. Appreciate all the prayers you

(02:51:00):
sent my way and your belief in me.
And it was quite reassuring, even in the darkness of times,
and even when the creatures of the forest began to doubt my
existence. You kept pulling through.
And I thought it was time to meet you again.
A long time ago, I told you I knew someone that you reminded
me of, only to find out that he's the reason you're here.

(02:51:21):
Yes. Eros was a great friend of mine.
A great friend to a lot of gods.Believe that and see why people
liked him so much. Yeah, he had.
Something about him, he's very selfless, yeah.
Yeah, he gave. A lot only to find out he gave
himself. For here and I know it goes a
question. I'm happy to answer.
Is why don't we do anything whenwe're preyed upon the darks of

(02:51:43):
times? Well, because, you know, we're
not really allowed to intervene and it's not really our place.
And he did, and he knew he shouldn't, but he still did.
And he paid the ultimate price for it.
She looks right in your golden eyes and she goes, I couldn't
let another God go unnoticed. She looks in your golden eyes
and she acknowledges your godly presence.

(02:52:04):
You know that a God can only be acknowledges a God is when
another God acknowledges that they're there.
So all the gods I've met, I've never met a God of friendship
that explains this little guy. And she holds up her said Laura,
you spread friendship throughoutall the realm, keeping everybody
on their toes. And these little critters have
been uplifting spirits worldwide, some truly beautiful

(02:52:26):
that cannot go unrecognized. Well, you know, not everybody
feels accepted. In this world and.
I figure everyone could use a friend and as you end that
sentence you feel like her hand on her shoulder and.
Like you look away and you go tolook at her and she's gone.
I smile and. I take her sling off.
For the first. Time in all these travels since

(02:52:49):
I've gotten it, and I rest the sling over my mother's grave and
I put one of the helmets right in front of the grave and right
on top of that, a fresh snickerdoodle.
And I walk away, walk away from the gravesite with those three
items laid. There at her wait to rest you
see that mirror nor meets you onthe road goes hey bro you see

(02:53:11):
that he's all healthy he's readyto go he's fried he's jumping
but he's like ready to do this stop grabbing me like that
You're trying to waken me beforethe battle could be a lot.
Of grabbing here, buddy, there'sgoing to be a lot of grabbing
here. He goes to push you, but he does
not move you as far as he used to be able to move you.
And the three of you get ready to bow.
Now, menace, you are competing. It's Mir nor for the right of

(02:53:35):
Chieftain. Your father is still chief,
however is ready to step down init's within a short amount of
time. And this is the rightful error.
And this is the time where the next chief that would get
essentially on board. So the winner of this fight will
be ready, the next rightful error of the Chieftain.
Now we could do a whole fight, but this is your story.
I'll let you tell it, Menace Minnis has not talked to Miranor

(02:53:56):
and. The tribe about.
You know his. Abilities or anything to that
sort. So Miranor is very surprised I'm
sure when Minnis challenged him to a hands only combat.
It's just going to be easy. Minnis listen.
You I don't know about. You, but I've been benching like
575 like the last six months, OK, Once I got this wing on
clip, it's ready to fly and I like to think Miranor turns away

(02:54:19):
from me and addresses. The crowd in some great fashion
let me hear you do you want a little baby calf running the.
Tribe or do you want the bull doyou want me to populate this
town with strong bulls to run your team to be in your army to
fight by your side or do you want children who have who are

(02:54:41):
friends with little baby rocks Senator comes up he's like and
as he says. That almost like a camera view
from behind Miranor. You see like the view rising
over Miranor in our shoulders asMinnis takes a growth potion and
turns into rock spirit form and then Miranor turns back.

(02:55:02):
That's great. Look at the look how strong he
had Mimosa. Is so big.
And Eclipse is just so big. And you see that he turns
around. He looks up at you and your new
form. Back, back, back, back, back.
You see that the two of you begin to trade blows.
Boom. Boom boom.
And you see that patched up thisband.
He's like now all over his face,he's bleeding.

(02:55:23):
You see one of his horns is likeknocked off the side.
You see that like he has all these bruises and you have a lot
of dents in your branches. It's like as these the bolder
parts of you are being. Dented in from the sheer.
Impact of his punches and at first menace completely
overpowers Miranor. But once Miranor gets the hang
of like what he's dealing with, I think the blows come back

(02:55:44):
equal, if not tenfold. He's like, oh, you see, he's
like clenching. Like her bug.
Yeah, It's like, what do you want?
This wasn't to the death, was it?
Is. It's just like reading the.
History on the on the lore. Of it, she didn't realize the.
Whole time you could die to the death.
One of the mirror noors next. It was like, yeah.
I only saw. This once in my life and it was

(02:56:05):
the best death I've ever seen. I see no bulls ripped the other
bullet horns in half. You see she's biting her nails
and then after blow. After blow they hit each other
face, ribs like bones nearly breaking.
Eventually at one point they slam each other in the face and

(02:56:26):
they both fall over and dust wave goes into the crowd.
Menace turns back into menace form.
Mirrenor on his back, little tweety birds.
There's a silence over the crowd.
Before. Minutes gets.
Himself up. Oh my.

(02:56:47):
God, yeah. He puts his hands up.
Yeah, you see everyone cheers like.
Kill him. Kill him.
You see, like somebody throws a.Spear because it's a rightful
way. He's like Endem and Numi's like
oh, Oh no, he picks. Up the spear.

(02:57:07):
Like twirls, it spins. It like a bow staff around.
His back and then goes over and puts the spear.
Who's going through it? He's going to do it.
He puts the spear under Miranor's.
Chin as Miranor finally comes. To Cheeky bastard.
I didn't realize, I didn't realize you were working out
like that. And I throw the spear down right

(02:57:29):
next to his head. As a new Chieftain.
I will. Continue these ivory combats,
but we will never again killed each other.
We are brothers, we are family, and I need Miranor more than
anyone else. And I reach my hand down to
Miranor as there's a hush silence.
As you go to Reach, Miranor looks at your hand.
And everyone is speechless and then you hear 1 subtle in the

(02:57:51):
background boom as you do hear all back is 1 of.
The sins him. Upside the head.
Bless your hand, you get them up.
It's. Like, no, no, we both know you
got lucky, OK? You know, maybe my arm is a
little bit tweak. You know, it's a little bit
tweak, but you know, I could have been pushing 675 if I
didn't kill, I don't know, literally Hood stop.
Come on. Hey, you don't want to be

(02:58:12):
Chieftain. Miranor, you know how much
paperwork chieftains have to do?What?
No, they're just awesome, right?They.
Just tell people what to. Do and get other people to do
it. And Titus in the background's
like shaking his head. Miranor, you don't want to be
Chieftain. You know what you should be.
I think we need a new role in our clan, like a butted role.

(02:58:33):
What do you say you join me as? My right hand man as.
Chief of Combat and lead our armies.
The Coc. The Coc.
I like it. You will be my cock until the
end of days. It's like class pants.
Class Pants. With yours as the two hands me
and. Like an oil painting fade out

(02:58:53):
that I did not right now. As we phase out through the
mountains. Deep in the Ashbourne clan
Jerel, you have not only convinced your tribe but the the
council members to become nomadic once more while

(02:59:14):
spreading the word. Over the last year, your
influence has increased the population of your tribe and you
are now seeing the benefits of your presence here as you are
slowly growing numbers. There are now more Ashford
babies on the way and you had convinced them that they are
ready to travel and settle the different areas.
Where would you like? What would you like them to do
exactly? So I think what we decide to do

(02:59:37):
is. We keep, you know, we we still
keep the area at the volcano as like AI don't know like a
reserve or like a like a place we could always turn to and go
back to. But I think we kind of turn to
the nomadic like migration. So it's not just wandering
aimlessly. It's more like roaming the north

(03:00:00):
in like a certain pattern based off what like what time of year
it is or something like that. And kind of just, you know,
stopping along the way and utilizing different parts of the
area at certain times of the year.
And. I think that's kind of like what
we develop into. You definitely follow the
climate around you, you know, byliving in the.
North you know the proper times of to travel when winters is

(03:00:22):
harshest and when the snow storms rage the most and you
still manage to spread yourself.So as the ash warms, you know
that you trade with other Goliath tribes and you have also
have a group of people who are willing to travel in all these
different directions. Only are you spreading and
reconnecting with the tribes around you.
You are also spreading through No Man's land and setting up a

(03:00:44):
settlement in the Kingdom of Grimm where Goliaths, if they
choose, can now head through theKingdom of Brim and potentially
to the Kingdom of Aramor. And with the assistance of Lord
Baron, he has allowed access foryour clan to settle within the
Kingdom of, I think as a liaisonfor you and vouching on your
behalf. Yeah, you do have people who
want to stay behind and live therest of their days.

(03:01:07):
And you also, as a leader, training the younglings of your
tribe to become better fighters.Yeah, I think that's probably
where drill really takes. His expertise and and wisdom,
he's trying to not only lead thetribe, but make sure they're
better off without him as he'll,you know, possibly go on more

(03:01:29):
adventures or explore the unexplored.
So he wants to make sure they'reas good off as as they can be.
So he's definitely helping the young become the best warriors
they possibly can and and prepare to defend their tribe or
possibly go on their own adventures if they choose to do

(03:01:50):
so. And as you've been this thing in
these roles, you have. Earned yourself a new nickname
throughout your tribe, a name that has been chosen by you, by
the people, and he calls you theicy flame because you still have
an item on you that you have yetto not fully explore.
You still have your phoenix egg.I do.
And this phoenix egg, immense. His incredible.

(03:02:12):
Heat and you've noticed that. It's only be getting hotter and
hotter and you have been using this egg for travel when during
the harshest storms, this Phoenix lake has been able to
keep you warm or a certain radius and you're able to keep a
group of people warm and people have started to refer to you as
the icy flame. I would say he also spends a lot
of the time. Going around not only just small

(03:02:35):
towns in the north, but he definitely has made trips to
like little Lucius's farm to tryto help rebuild.
He also has gone to like hold back and you know, at the Sidgic
college and and he's tried to just help where he can with some
of the younger tribesmen, not only so they can explore and see

(03:02:58):
what it's like South, but also just extra hands to help
rebuild. And I think he's kind of just
made small trips back and forth over the over the past year
during these small trips, Chemi Jo has been.
Your companion as Lord Baron hasis now too old to actually leave
his fortress, and Tammy Joe has been taking more initiative and

(03:03:20):
essentially doing the duties as Lord Baron.
As Lord Baron steps off to the side a bit in his duties after
getting you to the Kingdom of Brim, that's where Tammy Joe has
started stepping in and he has guided you to the City of
College to hold back to Lalouche's and establishing
these connections between your new settlements and offering aid
and your immense strength to thecause.

(03:03:41):
And over the weeks of you travelling with him, you hear
news. In one of your most recent
travels, only you know that LordBaron had actually passed.
He's one of the only Goliaths tolive this long.
He was actually 167 years old, which is double depending on who
you ask, triple the lifespan of any Goliath because Goliaths

(03:04:03):
typically die young in combat. And he explains to you that the
only reason why he was left to live this long was because of a
gem that Cami Jo now possesses. It is a gem, but that
essentially extends life. And as a dying wish from Lord
Baron as Cami Jo now takes the reigns of Lord Baron's divider,
known as as Lord Joferson. As his official name, he has

(03:04:25):
been gifted this amulet, essentially extending his life.
It doesn't grant immortality, but it just allows a being to
live longer than their natural needs.
It slows down the ageing processimmensely.
Yeah, although he was one of theonly Goliaths to not die in
battle. He.
Is still accepted and revered asone of the Goliaths who chose to
fight through words instead of force.

(03:04:47):
Then we're going to shift over to Armos.
It is night time in the town of Gilo and over the year Gilo has
rebuilt itself and Gilo is now flourishing as all these people
begin to come and go through. As is one of the main connecting
towns in South Trellis for merchants to go through Dilmore
to now the Ivory Boulder clan all the way down South to the
various towns South of Riverwood.

(03:05:08):
Forest is one of the main citieswithin the Kingdom of Ironmore
and it is night time and it is late into the evening almost
over the last year. You better establish an animal
shelter for yourself just outside of town and in the
center of town. You'd become a little more
crafty in your ways to convince the town to erect the statue.
This is your reward. This is what you wanted for

(03:05:29):
saving Umbrella and you used that leverage for yourself and
you had created a statue within the town of Gilo, which is close
by to your animal shelter that you decided to to open.
And it is a statue of Layla. And specifically there the the
statue also has like backgroundsimagery to it where you see you

(03:05:50):
and you're petting Layla. But Layla is this focal point.
You see this beautiful marble hell hound.
So like the statues almost in three dimensions, you see this
beautiful hell hound. Then you see a smaller version
of you off to the left where you're like petting Layla.
And then you see this beautiful solid background of all these
like different events that you have described.
And the reason why you were ableto make this is because of the

(03:06:11):
statue notes you stole back in Arc 5 when you were in the city
of Aramur during the heist, whenyou had your bat friend, when
you were trying to save Jerel, when he was stuck in the in his
rat form in the jar. And you had stole these plans
and you had used them to well, erect the statue of yourself,
but mainly of Layla. And all of the statues all the

(03:06:32):
same color. But there are these magical
lights underneath Layla that areshining upward, almost
emphasizing Layla. Within the statue itself.
You see sketchings of menace. You see sketchings of drill.
You see some action scenes of yourself, and it's like that,
like your favorite parts of youradventure that you had carved
into this stone with Layla beingthe focus.
And you see all these birds sleeping on top of Layla.

(03:06:54):
And you even see some squirrels and other foresty creatures
laying underneath Layla's statueas you see that animals like to
rest here, wild animals take refuge here.
What are you thinking as you're sitting on the edge of their
statue, just taking it in, just happy.
That the memory of her won't be lost, and as you sit silently,

(03:07:15):
you feel somebody approaching. You.
You hear old wagon wheels slowlyturning, and you hear an old
lady, an old familiar voice I didn't believe.
The rumors, when I heard them, but I thought.
You'd be here and you seem like a creature of the nights.
I figured when it was the most private, I thought I'd come

(03:07:38):
visit you again. You see an old lady who's
hunched over next to a cart being pulled by a large, vicious
yet domesticated badger. It is OSHA Onca, the weird
merchant salesman that sold you the stones that Menace had
claimed, and Jerel had claimed to give you the benefits.

(03:07:59):
The one that sold you the annoying gecko.
I knew. I had to come see you again and.
You know, I was a little angry at you.
I was a little. Angry at you for a little bit.
Armos, But after the stories I've heard of your great
achievements and you opening an animal shelter, seems like you
do have a soft side. She's like tries to reach for

(03:08:21):
your nose to be annoying about it, like pinch the end of your
nose. She sits next to you on the
perch. She's like, she's having
trouble. Hey Ray, this little guy
returned to me and she. Holds you the stone the.
Stone where Nax came from. Seems like you gave up on this
little guy. I I think he had his.
Mind made-up on me already, did he?

(03:08:43):
Didn't you have your mind made-up on people?
That changed. It's not the same.
Do you agree that someone. Can give a second a?
Second chance at a first impression.
Maybe I just find it funny that you make an animal shelter for
troubled. Animals.
And yet. You gave this one up, you know,
Badger snarls. OK.

(03:09:04):
Calm down, I had a lot going. On at that time of my life.
Things have calmed for now, huh?So far.
As I. Kind of look around and it's.
Peaceful. She hands you the stone
forcefully. Well.
With. Your newfound time, why don't
you try again? I jokingly give it A and.
Kind of turn my head away. How are we all troubled?

(03:09:27):
When we were younger. You know, I think we've all
grown. Over the years, don't you think?
Oh yeah? Well, if you're going to have an
animal shelter. Well.
It's only fitting that I return this.
To you all. Right.
Well, you know, looks. Like you're stuck with me,
little guy, as you say that. You see, you're accepting words
as the stone begins. To disappear.

(03:09:48):
And in this place you see a really annoyed red tailed gecko.
You see like it looks at you, you look at it, it looks at you,
you look at it and it bites you on the nose.
Don't you ever do that again. You 2 got a lot of things to
work out, but I think that's what this is for.
Well, thank you for bringing this, but.
All this. Trouble for just this gecko?

(03:10:10):
Or is there something else that you needed?
Maybe it's just for the gecko, but my job here is done.
And it's time for me to move on to the next town.
Maybe somebody. Else needs some.
Help and I might be able to helpthem like I helped you.
After she's already kind of turned away, I look at.
The badger that's pulling the cart.
I reach up to it and. Start.

(03:10:32):
A conversation with it because Ihave speak with animal now.
Do you really? So one of the warlock can?
Trips that you can take. Speak with Anibal and because of
Menace's choices throughout the entire campaign, he he rubbed
off on me a little bit and it's my way of kind of remembering

(03:10:56):
it. So I go up and start to talk to
it and then try to eventually once I gain its trust to pet it.
It snaps at you and through a few words it's you see that you
get. Its trust and he goes, you take
care of this thing. We have to come back here.
I'll eat your face. It's a honey badger.
So it was like, really? Vicious like I'll.
Eat your freaking face, man. Hey, don't worry, I'll I'll eat

(03:11:18):
your whole house. Look.
Crazy like that, man. And you see that like you go to
Panama. After a few minutes he accepts
you and you wave off Oshka as she leaves town in the dead of
nights. As you see that as you wave her
off, she almost disappears from view rather than trailing off.
I look at the gecko and I'm like, that's ominous.

(03:11:39):
It's not scary. And the two of you?
Begin to rework on your relationship.
He was misunderstood and you were not in the right time to
perhaps befriend this troubled creature.
So we're going to transition five years later.
And during those five years, some of the notable people
you've met along the way during your adventure have also

(03:12:02):
progressed in their in their ownlives.
Trace Bouche, a paladin from Dilmore that you met during your
heist, rebuilt Dilmore and became the official mayor and
advisor to the Queen. He also reconnects with the
Watchers, a group of former adventurers that you've also met
throughout your adventure, to watch the stars once more and

(03:12:25):
pick up their oath to protect the Kingdom for what may be or
any threats that come from the stars.
The shadow smugglers, ALDI, Leslie, Quo, Feathers, and Hugh
also work with Treyus pews as informants and messengers.
They have earned royal employment with the Kingdom of
Aramore and are trusted with important tasks for the Queen

(03:12:46):
herself. Faugnar and Thnost are no longer
in their pirating smuggling waysand once again are also allied
with Treyus with the Watchers. They are now respected captains
of the Aramore Navy as well. Duncan Bellow is thought as
Tavern to running goblin. Alongside him is Bushwick, Barry
Widestead's son. There they both run the Tavern

(03:13:07):
together and he shares stories about the three of you bragging
that he helped the three of you become who you are today.
Lord Baron peacefully died at the age of 157.
He's remembered as a symbol of peace between the kingdoms.
His amulet that gifted him his long life was passed down to
Kemi. Joe Bowden has been freed of the

(03:13:28):
Nothic Curse. With the destruction of Beiloun.
He was finally free and Bowden says his goodbyes and goes on
his own way as Wizards do. If destiny should need his
assistance again, the Weave shall demand it so.
Tammy Joe AKA Lord Jefferson, has taken the reigns of Lord
Baron's diviner at the Citric College.

(03:13:49):
He maintains relations with the Kingdom of Brim and Aramore
alongside Nihilus and Mullen. He also acts as a liaison for
the three of you. He is one of the few people who
know how to get ahold of you today.
Pera, the Sapphire Dragonborn and Lelouche had also decided to
rejoin the Watchers and kindle things, with Novo helping him
with his food cart and reeling him in when his stories become

(03:14:11):
too exacerbated. Novo still travels in his food
cart and shares his stories. He also made a bloodshot theme
Bandit Menu that he offers once a year in Aramore City.
Ghibli and Cara are now older and Ghibli is leader of the
Gooba Gills clan. He helps protect the Riverwood
Forest and Temple alongside withKara.

(03:14:32):
Kara, with the best interest of the forest, Melora and the
world, helps keep the Riverwood Temple off limits to anyone who
tries to travel to it. Dwarrick is still practicing his
blacksmithing skills as he continues to live in Scurries's
footsteps. Within the last five years
Scoria Stone Bones the Giant, the stone giant God of
craftsmanship has passed, leaving behind his godly

(03:14:53):
presence and priceless knowledgefor Doric and Michalanthe
Cathuli stole plots against menace till his very day in one
of the farms along the side of the Aramore City Menace.
Over the last five years your life has transformed in
remarkable ways. After your father stepped down,
you rose to become Chieftain with Miranor, a new found friend

(03:15:17):
and ally. With Numi's help, the Minotaur's
of San Lo and Ivory Boulders reconnected, consolidating their
power. After a vote and way too much
campaigning for Menace, the tribe was renamed to the San Lo
Boulders. Menace is definitely a thorough
Chieftain, but Miranor and Numi have to reel them in from time
to time. Menace.

(03:15:38):
You can't just put labels on everything bro.
But what do you mean? This is part of my Forget me not
initiative and will. Make organizations so much more
efficient. I don't need label in my pocket
that says pocket. Menace you spend the next
several years. Traveling around.
Umbria, with new me by your side, working as ambassadors for
the clan. You help rebuild cities, share

(03:15:59):
knowledge and trade goods. No, you don't write on this.
This is sand. Low sandpaper, and it's going to
revolutionize the woodworking trade.
Perhaps most notably, you have been acknowledged as the God of
friendship. A title not given lightly, but
earns your unwavering warmth andconnection to others.
This divine bond lives on through your sits, who now

(03:16:22):
instinctively gravitate towards those in need of companionship.
May they spread your legacy, 1 friend at a time, and after
helping San Lo grow into the prosperous city, you finally
settle down and propose to New Me.
You send out 2000, save the dates and get about 500 replies
from all friends all over Umbrea.

(03:16:42):
Cami Jo is set to be your best man, and Numi finally convinces
you to drop your groomsmen from 50 to 6.
Drell, Armos, Miranor, Berthy and Sully throw a very wild
bachelor party for you in ShadowFell, and as the spring weather
comes closer, you get ready to marry the love of your life.

(03:17:03):
And just before you leave your room to meet your future wife,
you read your mother's letter one last time.
Dear menace, I'm writing this letter.
After a day I. Have dreaded for so long a day.
I wish never have. Come the day.
My sweet son left home. You left to prove your father

(03:17:24):
wrong and to leave. Your own mark.
On this world, I knew this tribecould never contain you, but it
still didn't prepare me for the sight of my little Minotaur
walking away from me, stepping into his future.
The day you left, I spoke with your father and he told me the
truth behind your quest, how youset out to prove yourself worthy

(03:17:48):
to be a Chieftain. I was furious with him.
I felt like he was lying throughhis teeth when he said Menace
needs to do this for the clan and he needs to grow into his
horns. It pains me to see the distance
between you 2. I guess it's part of the
process. Menace, please know that despite
the arguments and the hostility,he really does care about you.

(03:18:13):
I wish you could have seen the glint in his eyes when he
sharpened those hand axes for your journey.
He spent every bit of his free time making sure they were
perfect. There are things he has been
through that have him acting odd, and I'm sure after your
journey we'll be able to sort everything out together as a
family. After some bittersweet tears, I

(03:18:35):
realized it's all for the best. Although I wish you were home, I
do hope you stay out there for as long as you want, but as
short as you need. I've been blessed to have you in
my life for so long, and I wouldbe greedy and selfish to keep
you out of myself while you're out there making new friends and
spreading joy to others. I will be waiting here,

(03:18:57):
practicing my dragon chest movesand making new recipes to share
with all the friends you bring home.
Your father might not know it yet, but your caring spirit is
about to change the world forever.
Always, forever loving your mother, Mira.

(03:19:18):
That was beautiful drill the past.
Five years you have. Carved your name deep into the
legend of the Ashbourne clan. Hell yeah, you have risen to
become a revered. And exalted.
Warrior, your prowess is unmatched and your leadership is
undeniable. It was under your guidance that
your clan boldly expanded into Strellis, establishing new

(03:19:41):
settlements within the Kingdom of Brim and.
Uniting. With the Free folk who ventured
there before you, and interestingly so, a settlement
was raised within the Kambuki Isles as well.
Your relentless drive to hunt down and defeat powerful
monsters has kept countless towns safe, cementing your
reputation as protector. Tales of your feet now echo

(03:20:01):
among Goliaths both young and old, inspiring a new generation
of Ash Board warriors look to you as a hero.
But beyond the glory lies a darker thrill.
Since the fall of a crystal's false moon, you've taken to the
Wild Side Tavern, dominating an infamous iron Scrap.
Fight nights in your fearsome jazz rat form, where your power

(03:20:23):
and cunning are unmatched in thering.
Awesome. Yeah.
I mean, I like to. Think that drill also just kind
of goes. In and you know he'll fight for
a few nights and then go back uptravel home for a few months and
then come back and then you knowhe's.
He definitely doesn't live there, but he probably likes to
frequent it as much as he can. This is how Drill gets his kicks

(03:20:46):
off in between fighting fearsomemonsters and.
Embracing his rat form. Exactly.
He never found a cure for his. Like a derpy.
No. Yet let it become a part of him.
Yeah. It's part of who he is.
You know, The good, the bad. I'm just waiting for when he
turns into the the dragon rat again and, you know,
accidentally goes a little too ham.

(03:21:07):
Almost the last five years have brought profound.
Change and purpose to almost hislife.
You settle near the town of Giloand you opened an animal
sanctuary that was dedicated to sheltering troubled and helpless
creatures. A safe haven.
There you eventually mash them, speak with animals not just as a
spell, but as a promise to listen, to care the way your

(03:21:31):
friends once did. To you, peace did not mean
passivity. Driven by a fierce sense of
justice, you took matters into your own hands.
And when harm came to the innocent, poachers, abusers and
those who saw life disposable found themselves judged in the
darkness by someone far, far more terrifying than any courts.

(03:21:54):
Overtime, you rekindled a strange and meaningful bond with
Nacks, the red gecko once giftedto you by the mysterious
travelling merchant Oshka. Placing Nacks back into your
hands, Her words were simple, but the timing said everything.
She knew exactly when you'd be ready, and almost.
You weren't sure what loyalty meant until a Goliath showed

(03:22:15):
you, and now it was your turn tocarry that virtue forward.
Now, standing in the heart of Thaler's crater, clad in fresh
adventuring gear and garnished with a salt and pepper beard,
you stand where everything ended, where everything began.
You lean down and you cast a familiar spell in code thoughts,
calling forth a vivid memory, a golden ribbon for Menace's

(03:22:37):
wedding day. In the vision, Dralen Menace are
doubled over in laughter as a very angry goat in a tuxedo, 2
sizes, two small charges to the ceremony head, butting the cake
table and sending frosting flying all over the guess the
chaos, the joy, the way the world felt weightless.
For a moment, almost, you smile.For what seems like the first

(03:23:00):
time in years, you gently tie this golden ribbon around an
object in your hand. For a moment, you don't move.
Eyes lingering on it, you catch your breath.
This place, this crater, the. Scar and.
The land. This is where they saved you.
Kneeling you. Place the object on the ground

(03:23:21):
and there are no prayers, no words, just just reverence, just
love. Then, with the steadiness of
someone who finally learned to let go, you stand with a final
glance, turning to Nax, who has grown into a young red dragon
over these last five years, has his wings flared out, ready to
set off once more. Almost you pat the side of Nax's

(03:23:43):
neck and climb into the saddle. And that's where you say let's
go see if that no learned his manners.
Almost you rise. Into the sky as the wind stirs
and fills. Salos Crater and dust rolls.
The world grows quiet again, except for gentle breath of wind
sweeping through the broken earth.
There, where you knelt, lies a small, worn Bunny, it seems, a

(03:24:07):
faded ears slightly crooked and bent, and a ribbon for Menace's
wedding day tied neatly around its neck.
As the wind settles, a single thread comes loose from the
Bunny side and it flutters in the wind and in the air it waves
like a final goodbye. And fellas, that is.

(03:24:29):
Where we're going to end our. Campaign.
Damn and. So good.
So good. I just got chills, man.
Just got chills. It's good.
Can't believe I I genuinely can't believe we're done
finally. With our first campaign ever,
right? It's crazy, dude.
It's like it's been. Like it's crazy just to think.
Like how much, especially you guys who've done all that and

(03:24:51):
stuff, like how much this has been like a part of your life
over the past three years and now it's like, you know.
It's met its. Finale we hit level 20.
We did. We hit level 20.
Thank you for. Everyone that joined us.
At level 20, from level 1 to level 20, we said we wanted to.
Yeah, quite a quite an. Experience we did.

(03:25:12):
We did agree before we sent you all off that.
We would each say a sentence or two for parting ways.
I think maybe we'll end with Tony.
But I just would like to say from the bottom of Minister's
heart and my own, of course. Thank you to all my friends,
best friends and bestest friendsof the podcast that have

(03:25:36):
listened throughout these years.Means the world to me.
Yeah, you know, obviously. We wouldn't be here without
everybody listening. So thank you all for the the
love and support it. It truly means a lot to us.
But I also just want to give a huge thanks to Tony.

(03:25:57):
You know, it wouldn't have been the same without him.
He's put so much time and effortand work into, like, this entire
thing. So, you know, shout out, Tony.
Thanks, brother. Love you and thanks for all the
hard work you've done, man. I'm not crying.
You're crying. Yeah, this was.
Quite an experience. Our three of us our first time

(03:26:20):
from start to finish. It is our first time playing D&D
together, which is kind of crazy.
So I know we probably started off a little rough.
And if you've stuck with us thisfar, we really appreciate it.
It was quite the journey. We got to learn lots.
And I can't wait until the next campaign to really kind of try

(03:26:42):
to step it up a notch, which will be really cool.
So thanks again for putting up with, you know, my lack of voice
acting and, and me trying to keep up with the modifier again.
Yeah, right. Me trying to keep up with all
these. Other guys, first of all, rough.
Polish gem for 140. Three episodes.
Thank you very much. Yeah, we've definitely started

(03:27:04):
catching our stride. Pretty early, but we.
Had no clue what we're doing at the beginning, which is kind of
fun. Nothing.
I have two things. One is some just some weird
news. I wanted to say upon completing
this, and the other one is special thanks of course.
But the first thing I want to say is that this has also been a
first for me because this is thefirst campaign I've ever played
to completion in my entire DND life.

(03:27:27):
I've been playing since I was 13.
I've never actually completed a game of DND.
I've started hundreds of campaigns and sessions, but they
not a single one has ever ended.This is the first one I've ever
actually finished. So this is a milestone for me.
And secondly, I just want to say, I just want to say thank
you to all the supporters that journeyed with us.

(03:27:48):
Relentless support and unyielding kindness is
unbelievable. And absolutely, you know, words
cannot. Words cannot, truly.
Describe. How grateful we are, the love
and support is is truly paramount.
It is it is honestly in insane the amount of people that joined
with us. It's great, it's great.

(03:28:09):
And with that said, I just want to say to you boyos, thanks for
playing D&D with me and congratulations on completing
the Bloodshard campaign. I've been your dungeon master
and I hope you had a good time, Excelsior.
And if you get the reference, ifyou know, you know.
Let's go ahead and bring it on to the Patreon supporters.

(03:28:31):
See you later. Bye everybody.
Goodbye. I'm not crying.
You're right, cut. It's summertime patrons, and
that means it's. Time for the annual Ivory
Boulder Rockslide festival. My parents started this
tradition when we first settled outside of Gilo, and you can
expect all kinds of fun activities.

(03:28:52):
They'll just boar wrestling, boulder throwing, and the
dramatic avalanche competition. This is where you try to make
the biggest rockslide possible using only your horns.
There are a lot of rules, but I'll go over that another day.
For now, let's shout out all thelovely patrons who decided to to
help run the festival this year,starting with the Shadow
Smugglers. The Dread.

(03:29:13):
It is good to have you back. It is also amazing that you were
able to help burn the coals for our fire walking competition.
All the miniatures in my clan. We're so excited to see green
flames for the first time. Although maybe we should turn
down the temperature next year. I had to healing word a lot of
scorched hooves. Julius Kendrick, I don't know

(03:29:34):
how you keep finding my location, but your presence at
this festival, it was surprisingly fun.
Our clan doesn't shy away from the grotesque, and most of the
guests loved your animated skeleton show.
It was amazing that you worked with Reese to create such a
spectacle. The warrior miniatures will not
stop talking about it. Any master of weapons.

(03:29:55):
Your blacksmith doll was a huge hit.
Most of the warriors in the Ivory Boulders clan had no idea
what a Pike was before you came into town.
I don't think they really liked the armor, but I heard you took
127 orders. Well well I know it was 127
orders because I was sent the bill.

(03:30:16):
These minotaurs don't really getout much.
Next are the Bloodshot Bandits org at Allfil.
You and your fox put on the mostwonderful performance for the
young minotaurs. I saw one of the youngins trying
to train a flying squirrel how to backflip after watching your
show. We will absolutely have you back
next year if you're able. Just next time, please don't

(03:30:38):
give the kids any more potions. That got a little bit addicted.
Artemis, I really appreciate yourunning security for this event.
I heard you took down a group ofKnowles that ran towards the
Drowl statue I carved out duringthe art competition.
It's crazy that Knowles were found in these parts.
So weird. Craig Dawnbringer, your closet

(03:31:01):
riding arena was a big hit with the children.
How were you able to train that thing to behave so well?
It's like you 2 have this, a special bond, an Immaculate
connection, a practical pact. Oh wait, I understand now.
Knock mock. Novo was overbooked, so it's
amazing you were able to make iton such short notice to run your

(03:31:21):
enchanting food cart. There were so many exotic forms
of jerky and soups and kebabs. Although maybe cool it on the
defamatory remarks about Novo next time.
Let's keep your competition friendly, shall we Avanox?
I was a bit hesitant to hire yousince you are pretty new to the
Bloodshot Bandits, but Artemis spoke highly of your work.

(03:31:43):
You did an amazing job keeping Armos out of the private area
reserved for the elders just despite his tricks.
And don't think I didn't notice you on your break taking first
place on the fire walking competition.
Well done shade grey fire. Thank you for your well thought
out speech during our flag raising ceremony.
It was so inspiring when you talked about overcoming demons

(03:32:07):
and hags. I probably probably should have
told you it was a flag raising and then burning ceremony
though. Everyone was moved, but a bit
confused at what it had to do with our hatred for the
neighboring bugbear tribe. That's on me.
Randy Woodburner, your wine pairing stall was such a
wonderful idea. I never thought to drink honey

(03:32:27):
wine with a spicy Stew. Oh, but please make note to cut
Drell off after 10 mugs next time he got into sad Drell mode.
And Woodstock, stop talking to the miniatures about Boxy.
Sly, were you even at the festival?
I couldn't find you anywhere. I did hear there was a hooded
figure scene leaving flowers andfixing decorations around the

(03:32:49):
festival. Did you have anything to do with
that? Well hey, next are the Sidgit
College alumni. Thank you for spending your
summer break with us. David Lachance, I noticed you
were going pretty hard at the Sid Spectacular after party.
I hope you had a great time. Casey, thank you so much for
contributing to the festival even though you weren't able to

(03:33:11):
make it this year. I sent you a drawing of mirinor
falling off an animated stone bowl.
I hope you like it, punk. It was amazing having you and
your band play at the closing ceremony.
Your type of music went so well with our tradition of breaking
our old chairs with boulders. Bongo, thanks for helping
everyone set up their stalls before the festival.

(03:33:32):
It's a shame you napped through most of the games afterward.
However, I'll designate a Sid towake you up next time in case it
happens again. Same chaos.
We all love your brews, but if you try to sabotage Brandy stall
again, you will be banned from the festival.
We will still order from you, ofcourse, but rules are rules.
Eris. It was wonderful having a
Janossi visit our humble village.

(03:33:54):
You and Artemis did a great job fighting those knolls.
I also love the part where you mistook Miranor for a beast and
tackled him. That was so great.
And last but not least. We have Whombre is here.
Bjorn Battleborn and Drown got joint first in the rage
competition. They're still very mad though

(03:34:16):
that they tied. Truckle Darts drew the most
wonderful illustrations at her booth of John Carroll and Johnny
Tarr going crazy during the pie eating competition.
Sludge, Lone Star Man with Glassand Taslin, did suspiciously
good at the bottle Bow and arrowgame and walked away with a ton
of stuffed Reginald's. Hart and Barry Brandbottle came

(03:34:38):
in first place at the Amateur Brewers competition and got way
too drunk off their own supply. Jesus and Escort Storm got into
a shouting match over who was the better Dragonborn warlock as
Nico, a human warlock, drank their Brandy Brandy Brandy
awkwardly behind them. And that should be everyone that

(03:34:59):
helped out with this year's Rockslide Festival.
If you would like to help out with the next one, go on over to
patreon.com/DND Four O 4 and subscribe to any of the Tears
from Hombres Heroes all the way up to the Shadow Smugglers.
Then I can personally thank you here at the end of every
episode. I mean celebration.

(03:35:20):
Until next time, everybody.
