Chaos in the Cathedral

0:00:19 Brennan: Ready to play some D&D?

0:00:20 Murph: Set.

0:00:20 Siobhan: Yeah.

0:00:21 Ally: Let’s do it.

0:00:21 Lou: Yeah.

0:00:22 Brennan: I love you guys.

0:00:23 Lou: I love you.

0:00:24 Siobhan: You're the enemy.

0:00:25 Murph: Love you, hate you. (solemn music)

0:00:27 Brennan: Welcome, one and all, to another exciting episode of A Crown of Candy. My name is Brennan Lee Mulligan, with me as always are our intrepid heroes. Say "hi", intrepid heroes.

0:00:39 Everyone: (distinctly less excited than usual) Hi intrepid heroes!

0:00:43 Brennan: (flatly) Fun. (chuckles)

0:00:44 Murph: We're having fun.

0:00:44 Siobhan: We’re having fun. We're having a good time.

0:00:46 Zac: We. Are. Having. Fun!

0:00:47 Ally: We're in a warehouse at 1:00 AM, playing this right now, I need you to know that.

0:00:52 Emily: And yet at the same time, I wouldn't be anywhere else in the fucking world right now!

0:00:54 Ally: Oh same! The freaking same!

0:00:57 Brennan: Last we left our intrepid heroes, they were in the cathedral of Saint Arugula with King Amethar and Lady Plumbeline’s hand on the book of Saint Citrina of Candia, which compelled him to tell the truth. Hinted at, long before at the banquet on your arrival in Comida. Turns out, King Amethar did (Manta Ray Jack voice) have a girl in the Dairy Islands stashed away. (normal voice) More than have her, he married her! Catherine Ghee, a commoner, which he told no one. In the back of the cathedral is Manta Ray Jack, in shackles and compelled to speak the truth if the Pontifex asked clearly if King Amethar was married still. And he was, and the marriage was never annulled, meaning there was no binding marriage to Caramelinda. Jet and Ruby Rocks are indeed bastards, unable to inherit land or title. And, after excommunicating King Amethar for the sins of adultery and of deception, being an oathbreaker, taking a false oath during his marriage to Caramelinda, Amethar also lost the ability to hold land or title, meaning that the kingship, the Crown of Candia, passed hundreds of miles away to Duke Joren Jawbreaker in open rebellion, which means that Candia is immediately withdrawn from the Concord, and in fact at war with the Concord. At that point, the Pontifex told the guards to seize them. We will begin by saying we had some impressive rolls, there was some knowledge we gleaned about the Prophidian Heresy and the Ramsian Doctrine, which might not be super critical right now.

0:02:54 Emily: Not in my head right now!

0:02:56 Brennan: And Lapin got that nat 20 Arcana on the Bulb, which on your turn as a free action, you may plumb the depths of that more to learn what you will.

0:03:05 Zac: Okay.

0:03:06 Brennan: We will begin initiative with Jet. It is your turn, first.

0:03:11 Ally: Do you want us to move these away? (pointing at the cathedral’s walls)

0:03:12 Brennan: Yes, kindly take these away. And actually prior to Jet going: Oh yeah, go ahead and remove those, thank you guys.

0:03:18 Siobhan: (to Emily) And remember to give me a bonus, if you—

0:03:21 Emily: Yeah.

0:03:22 Zac: Are these magnetized?

0:03:25 Siobhan: (to Emily) If you’re not using your bonus action. If we are next to each other—

0:03:26 Lou: Wow.

0:03:27 Zac: Pretty incredible work.

0:03:28 Siobhan: (flatly) Yeah, really good.

0:03:29 Ally: Gorgeous work.

0:03:30 Zac: Magnets? Nice touch.

0:03:32 Siobhan: Very pretty.

0:03:33 Ally: (whistles)

0:03:35 Lou: Really though, I mean that.

0:03:37 Zac: It's awesome, it is genuinely awesome.

0:03:38 Siobhan: Yeah no, it’s really: It’s fucking awesome, as always!

0:03:39 Ally: Yeah. Really cool!

0:03:41 Siobhan: Oh, you didn't tell us what the poison water steel daggers do!

0:03:44 Brennan: Oh, yes, yes, yes. The water steel daggers, deal... There's three DC 15 Constitution saving throws you have to make, one creates a Silence effect, another one gives the poisoned condition, to Candians it deals 8d6 damage damage, to everybody else that would deal 4d6 damage.

0:04:03 Murph: Cool.

0:04:05 Emily: Would Sneak Attack apply to that as well?

0:04:07 Brennan: Oh, that's poison damage on top of sneak attack, correct.

0:04:09 Emily: Okay.

0:04:09 Ally: (whistles)

0:04:11 Brennan: Those are some hefty daggers. However, like the dagger that first went into Amethar, they're like potions, once used, the water- The blade is the poison and it goes into the wound to kill the target. So the dagger, once used once, is no more. We're going to- Because it was not established in the previous episode, we're going to figure out how attended the... previously royal family is at this current moment. I would like- You guys- I will trust that you guys- I will trust you to have known who you would travel with. Would you be traveling with the Tartguard to the trial of Liam?

0:04:56 Emily: I mean, in fact they just kind of follow us.

0:04:57 Murph: I would think so-

0:04:58 Siobhan: Yeah, even if we didn't want them to be there.

0:05:01 Brennan: Go ahead Amethar, if you'd be so kind, and just roll a d8 for me.

0:05:05 Lou: (humming while rolling) 7.

0:05:10 Ally: Hey!

0:05:11 Emily: Nice.

0:05:12 Brennan: If you'd be so kind, go ahead and place 7 of these Tartguard around you. It's all but one.

0:05:29 Emily: Yeah, they can just take up the second row.

0:05:33 Brennan: Lapin, would you have been sitting on the outside?

0:05:35 Zac: I’m trying to think of like— For the language of me like, bringing Liam to court, does it make, Is there difference— does it make sense for me to stand— It feels weird that I’d just be in a line—

0:05:43 Brennan: Actually I think Lapin, in all likelihood, you could be on the dais.

0:05:48 Zac: Cool.

0:05:49 Brennan: If you want.

0:05:49 Zac: (nodding) Lapin's on the dais.

0:05:50 Brennan: Lapin's on the dais, cool. Where would you like to be on the dais?

0:05:53 Zac: I think Lapin would be on the left side of the dais, if the Pontifex is on the right.

0:05:57 Brennan: Cool, so like right here?

0:05:58 Zac: Yes.

0:05:59 Brennan: Great. Yeah, you're a Primogen of the Church, you’re there holding court. Do you feel that any of your servants would be here or your other attendants?

0:06:09 Zac: Cal seems like he would be there.

0:06:10 Siobhan: Yeah.

0:06:10 Murph: Probably just Cal.

0:06:11 Emily: Yeah, probably just Cal.

0:06:12 Brennan: Okay.

0:06:13 Emily: The Cruller guy?

0:06:14 Brennan: The Cruller guy.

0:06:15 Emily: Lord Cruller, seems to have hung out with us a bunch.

0:06:18 Zac: That's, yeah, Cal.

0:06:19 Emily: Oh, that's Cal?

0:06:20 Siobhan: Yeah.

0:06:21 Brennan: Not Lord Swirlie.

0:06:24 Lou: No, I mean, if Lord Swirlie attended, it's by his own volition.

0:06:27 Emily: Yeah. Watch, Lord Swirlie is like, stacked.

0:06:32 Ally: Yeah we're going to end up realizing that was like the key to our—

0:06:33 Emily: (laughs)

0:06:37 Brennan: Actually, you know what I'm gonna do for this one? I'm gonna ask you to- I'm going to have- I'm gonna ask you to roll the dice three times. You're looking for 11 or higher, not 10 or lower. Amethar, you can roll.

0:06:53 Lou: Three times?

0:06:54 Brennan: Three times.

0:06:59 Lou: (rolling) 3. 9.  6.

0:07:03 Siobhan: Fuck!

0:07:05 Brennan: Neither Lord Cruller or Lady Donnetta nor Swirlie, the Lord and Lady Swirlie, nor your attendants are here, they're all back dealing with the death of the Emperor in the Great Pyramid of Food. Jet, you are first to act.

0:07:27 Emily: Oh, this is fucking awful. I don't think in good conscience I can be strategic, because I think I would be very emotional right now. And so I think I am just going to charge the Pontifex. (laughs)

0:07:50 Ally: I knew it! I fucking knew it!

0:07:53 Zac: Of course.

0:07:53 Emily: And I think I'll-

0:07:54 Murph: Theo shits himself.

0:07:55 Emily: I'll just say,

0:07:58 Jet: I'd rather be a bastard than a fool who believes in a Bulb. If it's a fucking war you want, it's a fucking war you got!

0:08:04 Emily: And I'm going to use my action to charge—

0:08:09 Brennan: Great.

0:08:11 Emily: Or use my movement to charge forward, I have a feeling there's gonna be some opportunity attacks.

0:08:16 Brennan: There certainly will be. So—

0:08:19 Zac: If you go before anyone goes, will there?

0:08:23 Brennan: There is no surprise condition here for anyone involved. Everyone can use reactions in the first round of combat. So Jet, what path are you taking to get there?

0:08:33 Emily: I would like to just scoot past this guy and then come around here.

0:08:39 Brennan: Okay. We're gonna go-

0:08:41 Zac: You could stay within his reach.

0:08:43 Siobhan: Yeah, he's within: Yeah, you’re within his-

0:08:45 Brennan: Here's 5, 10. That's 10 there. And then you gonna go-

0:08:48 Emily: And then I wanna stay there-

0:08:48 Brennan: 15: In his reach? Okay.

0:08:51 Emily: Yeah and Sprinkle is coming with me.

0:08:52 Brennan: Okay. Sprinkle’s coming with, Sir Bonathan is going to take a swipe at you to prevent you from leaving his threatened area.

0:08:58 Emily: Okay.

0:08:59 Ally: Is that french fries?

0:09:00 Brennan: That's french fries.

0:09:02 Emily: I'm going to go ahead and you say: Okay, it's not within five feet of me. Alright, I'll let them attack.

0:09:11 Ally: He is kinda within five feet of you.

0:09:16 Siobhan: He is 10 feet away.

0:09:20 Brennan: You take—

0:09:22 Murph: I'm going to use my reaction, to use my Swirlwarden and I jump forward, and I do like a flicker of arcane magic and I turn to Jet and I go,

0:09:37 Theobald: Fuck the Bulb! (Brennan laughs, impressed)

0:09:42 Jet: Fuck the Bulb!

0:09:45 Brennan: Incredible. So you instead are going to take 3 plus 3 is 6, back down to 3 damage. That is—

0:09:56 Emily: I've continued my turn.

0:09:59 Brennan: You actually— he has a Sentinel-like ability. So even though the damage has been prevented, he still hit you, which is what triggers—

0:10:02 Emily: Shield.

0:10:06 Brennan: Okay, hold on one second, you cast Shield?

0:10:08 Emily: I cast Shield.

0:10:09 Brennan: You are prevented from— Or no, sorry, you successfully pass him.

0:10:13 Emily: Okay, so then I would like to continue and then hop up there.

0:10:19 Brennan: Okay, so you're gonna go then: So that's-  Sorry, you were here, right? So it's 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and then you're gonna go—

0:10:32 Emily: Hop up here. (pointing to the dais)

0:10:34 Brennan: Okay, you're: So you want to go 5 feet? So you're 25 feet there.

0:10:39 Emily: You know what? I'll play it safe, I will Action Surge to get to her.

0:10:43 Brennan: Okay, you take an Action Surge, you're up in the box with her, correct?

0:10:48 Emily: Yeah, and then I'm going to use: What's it called? Oh God, I'm so nervous!

0:10:59 Murph: Dagger?

0:11:00 Emily: Yes, I'm going to use the water dagger and I'm just gonna take a help action from Sprinkle. To have advantage or I can also do feinting. Yeah, you know, I'm gonna do feinting attack.

0:11:13 Brennan: Excellent.

0:11:14 Emily: Okay.

0:11:18 Murph: Nice.

0:11:19 Emily: Does a 24 hit?

0:11:22 Brennan: 24 hits.

0:11:23 Emily: Okay, I have- I don't think I have- Add sneak attack to this, but I do 4d6 ‘cause I use the water dagger.

0:11:32 Murph: Wait, why would you not add Sneak Attack?

0:11:35 Brennan: Do you have advantage on this roll?

0:11:37 Emily: Oh yeah!

0:11:37 Brennan: You add Sneak Attack.

0:11:37 Emily: So I add Sneak Attack and then I also add my superiority die.

0:11:41 Siobhan: Jesus Christ.

0:11:43 Emily: Okay.

0:11:44 Ally: Whoa!

0:11:46 Siobhan: Kill the Pope! (Brennan laughs)

0:11:59 Emily: (counting) Okay. And then do I add my damage bonuses?

0:12:02 Brennan: Yeah, it's a normal attack. So it's a normal attack-

0:12:04 Emily: Is it a dagger or is it like Flickerish?

0:12:05 Brennan: It's not Flickerish, that's 1d4 plus your Dex modifier.

0:12:08 Emily: 28 damage.

0:12:09 Brennan: 28 damage.

0:12:10 Murph: You didn't even roll a- Oh, you did roll a d4?

0:12:12 Emily: Oh, there's d4 now?

0:12:13 Siobhan: Yeah.

0:12:13 Murph: Yeah, it's a dagger, add the d4 too!

0:12:14 Siobhan: 1d4 plus 4.

0:12:15 Murph: Do that too.

0:12:16 Emily: Oh, so, what did I just say? I'm so nervous right now, I'm shaking, what did I say?

0:12:20 Brennan: 28.

0:12:21 Murph: 28, and then add the d4.

0:12:23 Brennan and Emily: 30. (intense music)

0:12:27 Brennan: Princess Jet of the House of Rocks bounces up. Theobald, you catch the halberd that comes swinging for her-

0:12:33 Emily: I'm sorry, I actually used Sprinkle for the advantage, right?

0:12:37 Murph: No no, you feinted!

0:12:37 Brennan: You feinted, yes. I'm trying to think how much of a dick I wanna be right now. I'm gonna say that you have— are ambidextrous and you have Flickerish and the dagger in each hand, which is why you were able to use Flickerish's shield ability even though you were attacking with the dagger, cool?

0:12:58 Emily: Okay.

0:12:58 Brennan: Cool.

0:13:01 Siobhan: Is the one nice thing that he's gonna do for us all night, I hope it was worth it. (laughs)

0:13:05 Emily: And then I guess she just has to do those saving throws cause it's the water dagger.

0:13:10 Brennan: She is gonna do those saving throws. Hold on one moment. Okay. (rolls die) Success.

0:13:23 Emily: I'm sorry, I know this isn't strategic but I just-

0:13:25 Siobhan: No-

0:13:25 Murph: No, it’s-

0:13:26 Zac: What is the strategy?

0:13:27 Emily: I don't know what the strategy is, I just feel it would be-

0:13:28 Murph: I don’t know the strategy, there’s literally no strategy!

0:13:29 Brennan: It's a success. And she's going to burn through a legendary resistance.

0:13:34 Siobhan: Fuck! Legendary action.

0:13:39 Ally: So she didn't take any of that damage?

0:13:40 Brennan: Oh no, she took all that damage. You, stab this poison dagger into her side, the Pontifex screams, an act that no one here ever thought they would live to see.

0:13:51 Jet: Bring it on bitches! House Rocks is strong. There is strength in sweetness! (laughs)

0:13:57 Theobald: Long live the King!

0:14:00 Brennan: That is going to be Amethar.

0:14:04 Lou: Perception check for exits?

0:14:07 Brennan: Go for it.

0:14:09 Lou: (rolls die) Oh, I think 14.

0:14:11 Brennan: The doors behind you are massive, wooden iron-reinforced doors. You hear the imperial guard locking them. There are windows everywhere. The windows are reinforced with these smaller like stone columns and lateral like cross: Stone crossbeams, the windows are easy to smash but not even Jet or Ruby could fit through with those crossbeams there. If those crossbeams were not there, they could fit through without having to roll, you and Theo would probably have to find a way to roll to squeeze through, even if you were able to smash the crossbeams out. Smashing out those stone crossbeams- On a 14, I'm not going to say whether or not Amethar knows that's possible.

0:15:02 Lou: Great.

0:15:03 Zac: Sorry, where are the crossbeams?

0:15:05 Brennan: They are not here, and either- Is “nave” the correct word for this area here? I don't know. But these little sort of side chapel areas with votives and stuff like that- No windows here. Windows here on the side  and windows along these sides here.

0:15:23 Murph: Cool.

0:15:24 Lou: Great.

0:15:24 Siobhan: Great.

0:15:25 Lou: Can I do: With a 14 Perception check, do the Tartguard still seem to be with us?

0:15:32 Brennan: With a 14 Perception, the Tartguard seem as goofy as ever and look to you for orders.

0:15:41 Lou: Great, I turn to them and say,

0:15:43 Amethar: Hold off the imperial soldiers!

0:15:46 Lou: And I'm going to— in terms of getting up to where Jet is, he has already used his attack of opportunity?

0:15:57 Brennan: Bonathan has, yes.

0:15:59 Lou: If I go: Follow the same path that she did, will I provoke, do I leave his threatened radius? Do I provoke an attack of opportunity?

0:16:09 Brennan: If you go (traces Amethar’s path) boom, boom— Yeah, there is a way for you to get no attacks of opportunity from either Plumbeline or Bonathan.

0:16:17 Lou: Great, I would like to make my way up to there.

0:16:20 Brennan: So you're gonna go 5, 10, 15, that’s 20—

0:16:29 Lou: I have 40 feet of movement now.

0:16:32 Brennan: And where are you-

0:16:34 Lou: I would like to run up to Jet and throw her from the pulpit.

0:16:40 Zac: To where?

0:16:42 Lou: Toward the windows.

0:16:43 Jet: This is not your fight! Let the new King- (chuckles)

0:16:48 Brennan: Okay, I'm gonna say, go ahead, and I assume Jet is attempting to resist? Or—

0:16:57 Emily: I think I would be confused and I would probably-

0:17:01 Lou: I look at Jet,

0:17:03 Amethar: (shakily) Please, do not die for me.

0:17:08 Emily: Okay, I let myself be thrown.

0:17:11 Brennan: But before we, I assume this is gonna be your action, to do this throw?

0:17:16 Lou: Can I go into a rage right before?

0:17:19 Brennan: Right before? Yes, you can go into- I'm gonna say you go into a rage, you can do it right there and not catch Theo or Jet.

0:17:31 Jet: If you throw me, you know I'm just gonna come running back.

0:17:33 Amethar: Please take your sister and go!

0:17:37 Jet: I can't walk away from this. What am I going home with?

0:17:39 Amethar: What then- What are you going to do?

0:17:41 Brennan: And it's happening, you're in a rage. I'm gonna say, you're very strong and Jet is not too big. I'm going to say, go ahead and give me an Athletics check. You get a 15, you can throw her 15 feet. If you beat a 20, you can throw her up to her movement.

0:17:59 Lou: Great. Nat 20. Murph claps.

0:18:03 Brennan: Pick any place in the cathedral. (Ally laughs)

0:18:07 Jet: No, I wanna fight, I wanna fight! I have so much to bring to this fight! I was made to fight, I'm not a spellcaster!

0:18:13 Lou: Can I throw her—

0:18:15 Jet: My value is in here, on the battlefield!

0:18:18 Lou: Can I throw her, I guess like to the back of the cathedral?

0:18:22 Brennan: Yes, you can.

0:18:23 Zac: Can you go up a level?

0:18:25 Jet: There's no one there to even fight, all of my-

0:18:26 Brennan: I will say this, remember with your Perception check that she can't get out, unless those stone crossbeams come out-

0:18:33 Lou: Alright, I throw her up to the second— can I throw her up to the second level against those windows?

0:18:37 Brennan: Yes you can, right up here. (dramatic music playing)

0:18:40 Brennan: Jet, as you land on that dais, you see crouched down loading crossbows—

0:18:49 Emily: Fuck!

0:18:51 Siobhan: No.

0:18:52 Brennan: Several priests who turn and smile at you—

0:18:55 Emily: I smile and I say,

0:18:55 Jet: Thanks, Dad, it looks like you were looking out for me after all.

0:19:00 Lou: I turn to Theobald and I say,

0:19:02 Amethar: Get out of here!

0:19:05 Lou: And yeah. Is there a, can I move to the pulpit? Is that possible?

0:19:09 Brennan: Yeah, you have more movement, you can move right to the pulpit, that's no problem. Okay, that's going to be-

0:19:22 Jet: You don't have to worry about me!

0:19:24 Ally: We're fucked. We're absolutely fucked.

0:19:28 Brennan: That's Amethar. Okay. One, two: Seeing Jet alight there, these guys are all gonna take shots at Jet.

0:19:58 Siobhan: Fuck!

0:19:59 Brennan: They don't— they don't take shots with advantage, because they don't have the high ground anymore. This guy, you're right here Jet, that guy—  He's gonna take out a dagger and swing at you.

0:20:12 Murph: You still have Shield.

0:20:14 Emily: Do I still have Shield?

0:20:15 Brennan: You do still; your AC is 23?

0:20:16 Emily: Yes.

0:20:17 Brennan: Jesus Christ. (rolls dice)

0:20:20 Siobhan: No.

0:20:25 Ally: I think those are just the other shooters.

0:20:29 Zac: I don't think that was damage dice.

0:20:37 Siobhan: Please don't kill my sister.

0:20:39 Ally: Do you need—

0:20:42 Siobhan: To beat a 23?

0:20:46 Brennan: On a Nat 20, you take 21 points of damage as one of them shoots you in the back with a crossbow bolt. That's going to be: (rolls dice) 9 plus 4. Does not hit. (rolls dice again) Okay, that's gonna be, one, two, three. Liam, you take 4, 7, 9 points of damage from a crossbow bolt and Ruby, you take 9 points of damage from the crossbow bolt as well.

0:21:40 Siobhan: Fuck.

0:21:42 Brennan: And that is going to be Liam's turn.

0:21:45 Ally: Okay. I turn to this apple person, and speak in Fructerano and I say,

0:21:54 Liam: Are you all truly against us?

0:22:00 Brennan: You see that Lord Rufus Applebottom looks at you and says,

0:22:07 Applebottom: My good boy, you are no longer a part of the Concord. Even if I wish to help, joining you would endanger my kingdom.

0:22:19 Liam: (sighs) And just 10 minutes ago we were.

0:22:25 Brennan: Arrows are actively hitting you in your body.

0:22:28 Ally: Interesting.

0:22:30 Theobald: Focus up, Liam!

0:22:31 Ally: When you put it like that! I am going to run here.

0:22:42 Brennan: Okay, you're gonna to run where, sorry. One, two—

0:22:49 Ally: Up to her.

0:22:50 Brennan: Okay.

0:22:52 Ally: What does 30 feet look like?

0:22:54 Brennan: From where you are? You were like-

0:22:55 Siobhan: In a radius.

0:22:56 Brennan: Oh, 30 feet from right there is huge, hold on one second. 30 feet from you is that big.

0:23:07 Ally: Okay, cool.

0:23:08 Murph: So what about to Jet? How far away is Jet from us?

0:23:13 Brennan: More than 30 feet.

0:23:13 Murph: Okay.

0:23:14 Ally: How far away is King Amethar?

0:23:16 Brennan: King Amethar is 35 feet away.

0:23:19 Ally: 35? Okay, then I'm gonna have to-

0:23:22 Zac: Step in front of him?

0:23:23 Ally: Jump on top of Theo and-

0:23:28 Brennan: You cannot occupy Theo's space and take an action.

0:23:30 Ally: Oh, right, okay, then I jump over Theo—

0:23:33 Murph: You can move through, right-

0:23:34 Brennan: You can move through, this is correct.

0:23:35 Ally: Great, then I'll just move right there.

0:23:37 Brennan: Sure, hold on one second. So you're starting: You're starting here, right? You're gonna go 5, 10, 15, 20, which brings you right here, right?

0:23:48 Ally: Can I jump on top of that book? I'm trying to get 30 feet to include Jet.

0:23:56 Brennan: Gotcha, yes, you can, Plumbeline is gonna get an attack opportunity on you, real quick.

0:24:01 Murph: I look at her and I spit on the ground,

0:24:04 Theobald: You disgrace your father!

0:24:05 Emily: Oh, shit!

0:24:05 Ally: Oh, I can go up here then, right?

0:24:05 Theobald: You are a rotten, rotten fruit!

0:24:08 Ally: I can go, five, 10, 15, 20-

0:24:13 Brennan: 25, 30. Yep, you could, and you'll get no attack of opportunity.

0:24:17 Ally: I'll do that.

0:24:18 Brennan: But because you're changing elevation, I'm gonna need a DC 15 Acrobatics. Oh, you ignore difficult terrain?

0:24:25 Ally: Yeah.

0:24:26 Brennan: Fuck yes, spry little Liam, go for it!

0:24:28 Ally: Cool and then I'm going to cast Pass Without a Trace again, on all of us.

0:24:34 Brennan: Woooh!

0:24:35 Murph: Oh yes!

0:24:36 Siobhan: Sick!

0:24:36 Ally: And then as a bonus action, I am going to cast Hunter's Mark and make-

0:24:44 Brennan: Can't cast two spells in the same round.

0:24:45 Ally: Oh, yeah, gotcha. Okay, cool.

0:24:48 Zac: What would Pass Without a Trace do for the fight? Is it just for like-

0:24:52 Siobhan: For running away.

0:24:52 Murph: If we- Like, you can hide as actions. So like, if we get outside and they're chasing us or something-

0:24:57 Zac: Cool.

0:24:58 Ally: So for, Preston's action, I'm gonna have him hide.

0:25:07 Brennan: Preston's gonna hide for his action? Okay. Hold one-

0:25:10 Siobhan: Preston can fly up to Jet? Help Jet out?

0:25:15 Emily: No, I don't want Preston getting hurt.

0:25:18 Siobhan: I don't want you getting hurt.

0:25:19 Emily: Well there's a, there’s people-

0:25:21 Ally: Well, now she has: Now she's like higher stealth, right? So wouldn't it be harder to hit her? It’s not disadvantage?

0:25:31 Zac: It doesn't affect just hitting her or anything.

0:25:32 Siobhan: It doesn't affect hitting-

0:25:33 Murph: You need to hide to do that.

0:25:34 Ally: Ooh, gotcha.

0:25:35 Brennan: Now I will also remind you this is a concentration spell. Cool.

0:25:39 Ally: Cool.

0:25:40 Murph: Oh, no!

0:25:42 Brennan: Cool, so you cast Pass Without Trace and now Preston can also act on your turn. So what is Preston going to do? Preston's gonna hide?

0:25:49 Ally: I don't think he could even get to Jet. It's only 40 feet for him to fly and he has to like land somewhere, so he's just gonna hide.

0:25:55 Siobhan: Right.

0:25:56 Brennan: He could make it there if he moved. If he flew, if he did a double move, but yeah.

0:26:01 Ally: Okay, yeah.

0:26:01 Brennan: So if he used his action to move, like, he could actually go 80 feet and land because he can use his action to do a movement and has his regular move there.

0:26:06 Zac: Get him up there!

0:26:11 Ally: Yeah.

0:26:11 Brennan: Cool.

0:26:12 Emily: Put him right next to this guy in front of me.

0:26:13 Murph: Yeah, get him up there.

0:26:15 Brennan: So 80, yeah. So you see, guys, this fight breaks out, Liam leaps up the dais, runs pass Lapin, jumps up onto the fucking dais.

0:26:25 Ally: You know what? Actually sorry, I'm just going to keep him with me cause we have like a dual fight.

0:26:30 Emily: All right yeah,

0:26:31 Ally: So, well I'm just going to have him fly up. Just, is moving right there and his action will be to hide under the table that I'm on.

0:26:36 Brennan: Cool, I am going to say this not to tell you what to do as a player, but I'm going to say this to remind you that a lot of your class features improve Preston's combat abilities. Now I think Preston is adorable and I want him to survive too, as a participant in this show. Your character will be wildly underpowered if Preston does not take actions in combat. That's a decision that you are willing to make if that's your character's action. But I want to share my understanding of the game's mechanics with you.

0:27:02 Ally: Got it. So he should probably attack with his turn. Preston goes for the Fry guy.

0:27:09 Brennan: Oh shit, okay! Cool, curveball. Awesome. Preston has a coordinated attack and can make a regular attack on his turn—

0:27:19 Ally: You know what? What if I just took all of this back and we didn't do Pass Without a Trace and I just didn't attack. Does it feel like we even need Pass Without a Trace? I thought it was giving us disadvantage on-

0:27:25 Murph: Concentration-

0:27:30 Siobhan: Yeah, if it's concentration-

0:27:30 Ally: If it’s concentration: I'm sorry for wasting everybody's time, I hope this all stays in. (laughs)

0:27:37 Siobhan: It's now three o'clock in the morning and we are in a warehouse. They’ve kidnapped us, we are on an island, somebody come and save us please.

0:27:44 Ally: Is that okay?

0:27:45 Brennan: Yes. Let's— But this is—

0:27:47 Ally: This is the only Mulligan I will take the entire episode.

0:27:49 Brennan: Okay, gotcha.

0:27:50 Lou: But we've got a Mulligan most of the time. (Brennan roars directly into the camera)

0:27:53 Siobhan: He loves it!

0:27:54 Ally: He loves Mulligan jokes, baby!

0:27:57 Brennan: That's the name! That’s the name at the end of my name. Great, what is Liam going to do?

0:28:03 Ally: Okay, cutie. I'm surprised it finally came to me, I'm ready to talk. I don't talk to the apple, why would I? (laughs)

0:28:12 Ally: I look straight ahead and I attack that French Fry who's currently in battle. I— Let's see. I walk up, I cast a Hunter's Mark on that person and I hit him with my crossbow, which means a d10 and also a d6. (reading chart) Extra d6 damage whenever I hit them with a weapon.

0:28:41 Brennan: Hell yeah!

0:28:41 Ally: Okay.

0:28:43 Brennan: Go ahead and roll. Just-

0:28:43 Ally: Roll attack?

0:28:46 Brennan: Roll your attack for your crossbow first.

0:28:48 Ally: Okay, got it. I'm going to- Oh it's- I get advantage on my first attack of battle.

0:28:55 Brennan: Oh really? From your ranger ability?

0:28:57 Ally: Yeah, I don't know where it is, but it's definitely in here.

0:29:00 Brennan: Cool, dope, go for it! Yeah, take your attack.

0:29:03 Ally: Love it, okay. (rolls dice) Great, okay, so that is 20.

0:29:08 Brennan: You certainly hit.

0:29:08 Ally: Oh no, it's 24. Okay, so I hit, that's a d6 and d10, then I will be doing: So that's 9 plus 6, that's 15 damage.

0:29:21 Brennan: Jesus!

0:29:22 Ally: And then Preston's gonna attack-

0:29:23 Murph: Kill this stupid fry!

0:29:24 Ally: And from where he is that is a... (reading sheet) charge!

0:29:31 Brennan: Oh shit! Yes, it is, that's a charge!

0:29:34 Ally: So do I roll for Preston?

0:29:37 Brennan: Yeah, Preston actually has to back up to get 20 feet, but he actually has enough movement to do that. So he may make two attacks, yes. And what does it say as part of his charge? He can charge-

0:29:49 Ally: That's an extra d6 to his—

0:29:50 Brennan: Cool, so go ahead and do your charge first.

0:29:55 Ally: Okay. Oh, that's only a 14,

0:29:58 Brennan: 14 misses but he has another attack with coordinated attack that he can take. So you roll his second attack.

0:30:04 Ally: Ah, dang, that's a 10! (epic music)

0:30:06 Brennan: You guys see Liam draws his crossbow and boom, sweet magic and a smell of peppermint, frozen red and white energy swirls around and puts the Hunter's Mark on Bonathan. Peppermint Preston goes (snorts), wiggles his butt, backs up and hits the shield and bounces off, not injuring Bonathan but is now in combat with him. You hear a voice say,

0:30:36 Keradin: Witch, is that the spell you cast on me? I will see it undone.

0:30:42 Brennan: And Sir Keradin Deeproot walks out of the shadows.

0:30:44 Siobhan: Bitch!

0:30:46 Brennan: He's going to go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, here. (rolls dice) Sir Keradin walks up and deals 31 points of damage to you (looking at Ally). And says,

0:31:04 Keradin: I know that the spell still lingers on me. Bulb, save me.

0:31:11 Brennan: (mimics attack) And this huge, green broccoli stem mace thuds into your body twice. That is Sir Keradin's turn. That's the Tartguard baby!

0:31:29 Zac: Get in there, Tartguard!

0:31:30 Brennan: It's gonna go 5, 10, 20, 25, 30-

0:31:34 Murph: You brave fools!

0:31:37 Zac: Wrong way!

0:31:40 Brennan: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. Well no, they were given a command by their king to—

0:31:56 Zac: Yeah.

0:31:58 Brennan: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. They all rush up there and take Dodge actions. It's actually, no- Hold on.

0:32:07 Emily: It's gonna be so crazy cutting from our like, so distraught faces to these very silly minis!

0:32:13 Brennan: I know. I know!

0:32:15 Siobhan: Oh, the irony!

0:32:16 Lou: They all have the cutest hats.

0:32:18 Siobhan: So delicious.

0:32:19 Emily: (laughs)

0:32:20 Brennan: What was your command you gave to them? Hold off the imperial guard?

0:32:23 Lou: Hold off the imperial guard.

0:32:23 Brennan: Okay, so hold off, they're gonna take Dodge actions.

0:32:26 Zac: We have to get up there.

0:32:27 Siobhan: So many people in this fucking church!

0:32:30 Emily: I have a plan.

0:32:31 Siobhan: I also have a plan.

0:32:31 Emily: Don't worry about me.

0:32:32 Zac: I think everyone needs to get up there.

0:32:33 Siobhan: I'm gonna worry about you.

0:32:36 Emily: Well, you can worry about me, but no one else needs to, I have a way to get back down.

0:32:41 Murph: To get back down?!

0:32:42 Emily: To rejoin the group. At this point I wouldn't be disobeying my father, I don't- I think my father- My father wished me up here, but I think now he probably would-

0:32:50 Murph: He would like for you to get out of that window. (moment of quiet; Zac laughs nervously)

0:32:57 Ally: All of us.

0:33:01 Emily: Oh, I have a fun idea, okay. I won't try to get back down guys.

0:33:18 Lou: Just imagining though an actual version of this, of what it would be like to watch a bunch of sticks of bread cut into tarts and watch their gooey blood flow soak into their clothes-

0:33:31 Brennan: Plumbeline whips out a knife and deals 30 points of damage to Sir Theo on a nat 20.

0:33:36 Murph: Jesus, do I get -3?

0:33:38 Brennan: Yeah, 27.

0:33:41 Murph: (quietly) Asshole!

0:33:44 Ally: We’re all already looking pretty low! What are you at, Jet?

0:33:48 Emily: I'm at 24, but I have Second Wind.

0:33:51 Brennan: That's gonna be Lapin.

0:33:55 Zac: Lapin sees the good Paladin in front of him. Wonders how made he is at this point. But we'll look over at the- Who's the- The name of the person from The Meat Lands?

0:34:11 Brennan: Basha Myaso.

0:34:12 Zac: I'm gonna look over at Basha and quietly say,

0:34:15 Lapin: Wow, you're gonna let the King Amethar take all the glory of fighting the Bulb. The Meat Lands will surely hear about this, how your cowardice kept you from fighting.

0:34:36 Brennan: I'm gonna get the Box of Doom out. (laughs)

0:34:39 Murph: That’d be extremely helpful.

0:34:42 Brennan: I'm gonna tell you right now, this is not gonna happen. Hit a nat 20.

0:34:46 Murph: Oh no!

0:34:48 Ally: Get her to fight for us guys!

0:34:50 Lou: This guy's a king.

0:34:51 Zac: Come on.

0:34:51 Emily: Come on!

0:34:54 Brennan: That’s a 7.

0:34:55 Ally: Oh!

0:34:56 Emily: I really thought this was gonna happen-

0:34:58 Zac: I don't even get advantage? Come on!

0:35:01 Brennan: You should feel great if I even give you- You see that Basha looks at you and says,

0:35:07 Basha Myaso: I think you know this, that I am a proud Bulbian. This has nothing to do with the Meat Lands.

0:35:15 Siobhan: Weren’t you gonna tell him something about the book?

0:35:18 Brennan: On his turn.

0:35:18 Siobhan: On his turn? (solemn music)

0:35:19 Brennan: Yes, it doesn't relate to the battle at hand, but you'd look into the book in the Archbishop Onionpatch's hands and looking at the- It is a pure Relic. It was the book of Saint Citrina, of Amethar's sister. It was held here in the Great Cathedral of Comida, in the Concord that she helped found. Looking at the book you feel its connection to the Bulb. You reach out and you can get one of these on this turn, the other on your next turn. Do you wanna know something about the Bulb or do you wanna know something about the relationship the Bulb has with people? So it's gonna be something intrinsic about it or something about the people.

0:36:14 Zac: I guess the- how it relates to people.

0:36:16 Brennan: Okay. You look in that moment, see the Relic, see the magic that the Pontifex is wielding. You see that she has magic as well. You know with unshakable certainty that the Bulb is not a different kind of entity than The Sugar-Plum Fairy, you know that she is a warlock like you, the Pontifex, and that the Bulb is her patron and that the difference between a cleric and a warlock is nothing. You understand it fundamentally in this moment, whether people call themselves warlocks or clerics is a matter of a style, some types of abilities and fundamentally the same relationship. That's all for free. You have your action, bonus action movement.

0:37:08 Zac: Can I ask a question about Fly?

0:37:10 Brennan: Yep.

0:37:11 Zac: Could I carry anyone with Fly or is it just myself?

0:37:15 Brennan: I will literally look up the encumbrance rules right now and see what you can carry.

0:37:19 Murph: You could grab Preston and then I could grab Liam.

0:37:24 Emily: Preston can fly-

0:37:25 Zac: Preston can fly already-

0:37:26 Murph: On his turn. These people are- We're getting shot for like 30 damage a turn, Liam may last until next turn.

0:37:33 Zac: Well, is everyone gonna last until next turn? Or?

0:37:36 Murph: I got a crit on and it did half my damage.

0:37:39 Siobhan: Yeah, I'm already-

0:37:40 Murph: Everybody on the ground needs to get the fuck out of there.

0:37:42 Ally: Yeah, I'm at 6 points.

0:37:44 Emily: That is true, you guys do need to get out.

0:37:46 Murph: We all need to get-

0:37:47 Emily: Guys come join me on the balcony.

0:37:49 Murph: I'm gonna join everybody through the window.

0:37:52 Brennan: You could carry the princesses. You could not carry Theo or Amethar.

0:37:56 Zac: Can I carry Liam?

0:37:57 Brennan: If he drops the pack, yeah. If he drops the giant backpack he's carrying.

0:38:00 Lapin: Liam, that backpack!

0:38:02 Liam: Just a bunch of flowers in here!

0:38:04 Lapin: Flowers?!

0:38:05 Emily: (laughs)

0:38:07 Zac: I will step forward and cast Fly on Theo.

0:38:20 Brennan: Okay.

0:38:21 Zac: Alright? I can- If I gave you the ability to fly you could probably- Your-

0:38:29 Murph: Theo is touched.

0:38:34 Theobald: Thank you, Chancellor.

0:38:35 Zac: And then how much health does everyone have?

0:38:38 Siobhan: I’m at 28.

0:38:38 Murph: I'm at 35.

0:38:41 Emily: I do have Second Wind, though.

0:38:42 Ally: 6.

0:38:43 Zac: 6?

0:38:44 Murph: I'm totally fine.

0:38:45 Zac: So Lapin is going to step forward, cast Fly on Theobald and then walk over and stand in front of Liam, get in the way of him and the Paladin and as a bonus action heal Liam for 2d6.

0:39:07 Emily: Yeah.

0:39:08 Zac: For 4.

0:39:10 Ally: Thank you!

0:39:12 Siobhan: Fuck!

0:39:13 Brennan: Hell yes.

0:39:14 Theobald: I misjudged you, Chancellor!

0:39:16 Lapin: Oh shut up. (laughs)

0:39:20 Lou: Wow.

0:39:21 Brennan: I actually will need two Constitution saving throws, each DC 10 from Liam to hold onto Hunter's Marks. He's got to get- to give me two Constitution saving throws to hold onto Hunter's mark.

0:39:32 Ally: Sure. (rolls dice) One went through. DC 10?

0:39:37 Brennan: Add your constitution saving throw. Plus what? +4 both passed, you hold onto the spell. Great, so that's Lapin. You heal Liam, you cast Fly on Theobald, are you doing anything to disguise your spell casting?

0:39:51 Zac: No. (chuckles)

0:39:52 Brennan: Yeah, cool, you do your fucking magic.

0:39:54 Lapin: (to Keradin) I thought I kicked your ass earlier. (laughs)

0:39:59 Brennan: Hell, yes.

0:40:02 Zac: It's done, right? It's done.

0:40:04 Brennan: It's done. Ruby, that's you.

0:40:06 Siobhan: Okay. Are there windows up here?

0:40:10 Brennan: Yup, there're windows up here.

0:40:11 Siobhan: No no no, up here?

0:40:12 Brennan: There are no windows here. This is solid, windows are only here and here. And then on the back.

0:40:22 Siobhan: Ahhh, God! I'd like to use my cunning action disengage to get onto the stage.

0:40:31 Brennan: Okay.

0:40:35 Siobhan: Which is 35 movement.

0:40:36 Brennan: So it's gonna be- So you're here, so it's gonna be 5, 10, 15, 20.

0:40:42 Siobhan: And then up onto the altar.

0:40:46 Brennan: 25. Give me an Acrobatics DC 15 to ignore the level.

0:40:53 Siobhan: Yeah.

0:40:53 Brennan: Cool, great. So that's gonna be- 15, you get up there, that's 25 feet of movement, you're right there.

0:40:59 Siobhan: And then I would like to shoot at the Pontifex.

0:41:06 Emily: Yeah.

0:41:07 Brennan: Go for it.

0:41:09 Ruby: For my sister!

0:41:09 Jet: Fuck her up!

0:41:13 Siobhan: That is a 24.

0:41:17 Brennan: 24 hits.

0:41:18 Siobhan: And I'd like to use my Grasping Arrow ability.

0:41:20 Brennan: Absolutely.

0:41:21 Siobhan: So, because- This is so many d6. So, it's 1d6 from there and then 2d6 from the Grasping Arrow and then 3d6 from Sneak Attack.

0:41:36 Brennan: Jesus!

0:41:37 Siobhan: I would love to borrow some d6. Thank you so much my sister!

0:41:40 Emily: Of course, my sister.

0:41:44 Siobhan: (rolls dice) Okay.

0:41:46 Murph: Nice!

0:41:49 Siobhan: 6, 10, 20, 23, 28. 28 damage.

0:42:01 Ally: Wow.

0:42:02 Brennan: Jesus!

0:42:04 Emily: Yeah! Oh my God, did we do the same amount of damage? I think we did.

0:42:08 Brennan: You're within 2 points of each other.

0:42:10 Siobhan: And that's- so that's to the- it's poison damage and, so I reduce, speed is reduced by 10 feet and takes 2d6 slashing damage the first time on each turn that she moves one foot or more without teleporting.

0:42:20 Ally: Alright, cool!

0:42:30 Siobhan: I also say,

0:42:39 Ruby: Try and ban this magic! (laughs)

0:42:44 Brennan: (Mimics attack) Screaming green sugary arrow flashes across the veggie cathedral, slams through the Pontifex and a green syrup surrounds. Did she make any saving throws against that? No, right?

0:42:54 Siobhan: No.

0:42:55 Brennan: Not at all.

0:42:57 Siobhan: No, you can't save shit!

0:43:01 Brennan: Incredible, that's going to be- (rolls dice) Theo that's you.

0:43:07 Murph: Oh my God. So it was a while ago, but you- King Amethar told me to run, I look up at him. And

0:43:17 Theobald: Is this your command?

0:43:19 Amethar: Take my daughters and leave this place.

0:43:24 Murph: I'm going to- What is my movement with Fly?

0:43:27 Zac: 60 feet,

0:43:28 Murph: 60 feet, damn! Sweet.

0:43:31 Zac: Get her!

0:43:32 Murph: First thing I'm gonna do is— how far is the ledge up here?

0:43:36 Brennan: The ledge is— the ledge is about 45 feet away from you.

0:43:51 Murph: Sweet. Okay, I'm gonna have Sprinkle dink down to me.

0:43:54 Brennan: Okay, dinks.

0:43:56 Murph: And so Sprinkle gets down to me,I’m gonna run, I'm gonna scoop Liam.

0:44:01 Brennan: Okay.

0:44:03 Murph: And use my movement to fly up here.

0:44:07 Brennan: Yes and Fly gives you a speed of 60, correct?

0:44:10 Zac: Yes.

0:44:11 Brennan: Okay, so you're gonna go-

0:44:13 Murph: Can I grab Preston too?

0:44:16 Brennan: Yes, I will say that you can grab Preston as well.

0:44:18 Murph: Preston under one arm, Liam under the other one.

0:44:20 Brennan: Well, you go- So you're here, you go, 5, you… Go ahead, I'm just gonna ask for a DC 5 Athletics check to grab each of these guys. Just don’t roll a 1.

0:44:30 Murph: Okay, can Sprinkle help me?

0:44:33 Brennan: If this is where you want Sprinkle’s help action to be, yes.

0:44:37 Murph: Okay, I'll just do it without Sprinkle. (rolls die) I got a 10.

0:44:43 Brennan: Cool.

0:44:43 Siobhan: Oh, thank God!

0:44:44 Lou: (fanning himself) Don’t make faces like that!

0:44:46 Murph: I rolled a nat 3. It was bad, luckily I’m proficient in—

0:44:47 Brennan: 5, so 10- Liam. Your strength is crazy, but you're also wearing very heavy armor. So just give me an Athletics check 10 to get Liam as well. Murph rolls his check. It spends a while just lurching around his dice box before settling.

0:45:06 Murph: That was fucking dramatic, it rolled for so long.

0:45:08 Ally: Oh my God!

0:45:09 Murph: 19.

0:45:10 Lou: Murph, I cannot see the dice.

0:45:12 Ally: So it truly was like (mimics die rolling) 2, 1, 3—

0:45:15 Brennan: 10? Okay, so that's 10 and then you're going to go-

0:45:21 Murph: Fly up to the ledge.

0:45:23 Brennan: And that is exactly 50, so it’s just all- So that's your movement to just get right up here. You've got Liam-

0:45:32 Murph: I guess Liam-

0:45:34 Brennan: So people watch an armored Gummy Bear fly up to the balcony.

0:45:38 Murph: Giving the finger to everyone,

0:45:40 Theobald: (giving the finger) Long live the Sweetening Path!

0:45:42 Emily: Yeah! I have a book about that!

0:45:45 Murph: And then, I'm going to use bonus action Second Wind.

0:45:53 Zac: Can you still attack, too?

0:45:54 Murph: I, yeah- Oh my God, terrible, okay. I get back just 5, then I'm going to use a dash action to fly back down to Ruby.

0:46:09 Brennan: Okay. This guy's going to get a swing on you, just as an attack of opportunity.

0:46:14 Murph: That's fine.

0:46:16 Brennan: He rolls a natural 1, embarrasses himself, shits himself. (cast laughs)

0:46:20 Brennan: Flies. And you fly back down. Where do you wanna be next to Ruby?

0:46:23 Murph: I want to like, scoop her and fly, I'm gonna use Action Surge to fly her back.

0:46:28 Brennan: Oh shit, okay. So you're taking a- you pick them up, moved and now you're taking a dash action using your action. So that gets you 30 feet. You—

0:46:41 Murph: So that's one, just, round and then I get Action Surge.

0:46:44 Brennan: Yes.

0:46:45 Murph: So that I can go again.

0:46:46 Brennan: Actually from where you are, you can drop- Wait a minute minute- It's only 30 feet to Ruby and 30 feet back.

0:46:52 Murph: Sweet, so I'll just use dash.

0:46:54 Brennan: So you use dash.

0:46:54 Murph: Sweet.

0:46:56 Brennan: So you've just used a movement and dash and you haven't used your Action Surge yet. Just again, give me a DC 5 athletics. Just don't roll a 1.

0:47:05 Murph: Okay! 1. Can I use Sprinkle?

0:47:05 Emily: Action Surge!

0:47:07 Brennan: Can you- Sprinkle, can give you the help action. Actually? That nat 1, is a nat 1.

0:47:10 Murph: Alright.

0:47:12 Brennan: I'm gonna say that you can use your Action Surge to get Ruby back up there.

0:47:16 Murph: Alright, I'll use Action Surge.

0:47:17 Brennan: Give me another roll.

0:47:19 Murph: This time I'm gonna use Sprinkle. (laughs)

0:47:21 Murph: I'm not fucking around this time. (rolls dice) Okay.

0:47:24 Ally: Yeah, there those numbers are! A 19 and an 18?

0:47:27 Murph: 29.

0:47:29 Zac: Can you still attack now?

0:47:30 Murph: I don't-

0:47:31 Brennan: No you cannot attack now but Theobald-

0:47:33 Jet: Everyone's safe.

0:47:36 Brennan: In a—

0:47:36 Jet: Except for daddy! (upbeat music)

0:47:37 Ally: And Lapin!

0:47:38 Emily: And Lapin?!

0:47:38 Brennan: You guys hear a reverberating (boinging noise), as a flying Gummy Knight literally makes a tornado of saving children. Just a- (mimics motion) Grabs Liam, grabs Ruby in a swirl. The pages of the books, the candles are put out, pages rip and fly everywhere, as the cathedral is smelled with the comforting, warm, artificial saccharine smells of gummy candy.

0:48:10 Jet: This is why I would have nominated you for emperor!

0:48:13 Theobald: Appreciate it, I think we're off the table.

0:48:15 Murph: I'm actually, as an Action Surge I get— do I get one more bonus action?

0:48:21 Brennan: You only get one bonus action if you action surge.

0:48:24 Murph: Got it, okay. So I’ve already used it to-

0:48:25 Brennan: Do Second Wind.

0:48:26 Murph: Got it, cool.

0:48:27 Brennan: Okay.

0:48:29 Murph: Can I get us like, up against the window? Like, I might-

0:48:33 Brennan: No that's literally- It’s using-

0:48:34 Murph: Literally I can get up to the ledge, okay.

0:48:35 Brennan: Oh, actually no, cause you Action Surged to move, right?

0:48:38 Murph: Yeah.

0:48:38 Brennan: You can get up against the window, yeah.

0:48:39 Murph: Yeah, I'd like to bring Ruby back there and get everybody kinda back—

0:48:42 Siobhan: (to Lou and Zac) I know, it’s fine, he can fly.

0:48:43 Brennan: Okay.

0:48:46 Murph: I would think I'd moved them back if possible?

0:48:53 Brennan: I think that was your turn-

0:48:53 Murph: All right, I'll stay up front then, I don't want Liam to take all the shots.

0:48:57 Brennan: Oh, are you gonna be right here?

0:48:58 Murph: Yeah, just put me in front.

0:48:59 Brennan: Okay.

0:49:04 Lou: I smile up at Theobald. (chuckles)

0:49:08 Brennan: Okay.

0:49:09 Murph: Sprinkle, get up there, dude! Get out of there! Sprinkle, run!

0:49:12 Emily: Save yourself!

0:49:16 Brennan: Okay. The Pontifex casts a spell. She just closes her hand in silent prayer and prays as King Amethar looms over her. That's going to be— That's the Pontifex's turn.

0:49:31 Siobhan: What did she do?

0:49:33 Brennan: One, this guy is gonna go here, two. This guy is gonna jump up here. Three and four. Okay, that's going to now be some attacks with disadvantage on Amethar from all the Knights surrounding him. (dramatic, ominous music)

0:50:09 Brennan: (rolls dice) Okay, one of these knights hits you for 9 points of damage halved to 4. And I'm gonna need you to make a Strength saving throw, you will make this with advantage. Sorry, a Dex saving throw, you will also make this with advantage.

0:50:45 Lou: That's gonna be 8.

0:50:49 Brennan: Your speed is reduced to 0 and the Pontifex is going to move out of the box, 5—

0:51:00 Murph: Takes 2d6 of damage.

0:51:02 Brennan: Yeah, takes- Go ahead and roll 2d6.

0:51:05 Siobhan: That's a 10.

0:51:06 Brennan: Nice roll. It's going to go—

0:51:16 Emily: Your speed is reduced to 0?

0:51:17 Brennan: 5, that's 15,

0:51:18 Siobhan: And she has -10 speed. She can only 20.

0:51:23 Brennan: She can only do 20?

0:51:25 Siobhan: Yeah.

0:51:25 Brennan: Cool.

0:51:26 Siobhan: Or minus 10 from what her normal is.

0:51:28 Brennan: So she makes it right there, Amethar, you do get an attack of opportunity, but I will need you to make a Wisdom saving throw, before you can take it.

0:51:38 Lou: That's gonna be 18.

0:51:39 Brennan: She swings past you down the stairs going,

0:51:42 Pontifex: Bulb protect me, Bulb protect me.

0:51:44 Brennan: And you can feel the light growing in the church, but it is not a powerful enough light to stop you from taking a swing if you would like.

0:51:50 Lou: Great, I would love to. That's gonna be 18.

0:52:02 Brennan: 18, exactly hits.

0:52:05 Lou: That's 2d6

0:52:08 Brennan: Plus 9.

0:52:08 Lou: She hasn’t hurt me I think, right? Great. That's gonna be a 9 plus 9, 18.

0:52:15 Brennan: Great, that's the Pontifex, the Knights have all gone as well. Cool. (suspenseful music as Brennan begins to move the Tartguard minis)

0:52:32 Murph: My brave Tarts!

0:52:35 Emily: We are so solemn, it's just gonna cut to them and their insane faces.

0:52:40 Lou: Just, slowly getting-

0:52:41 Theobald: Tickle them! Tickle them with all your heart!

0:52:44 Lou: I don't think they all have their blunt swords today.

0:52:46 Theobald: Bards will sing of how you tickle this day.

0:52:49 Emily: You shall be dancing with The Sugar-Plum Fairy tonight.

0:52:54 Brennan: Hold on one second, let me just- I'm going to expedite this. I'm not gonna roll their damage, I'm just gonna average it. (rolls dice) Constano steps forward, look of grim determination on his face, spears the first Tartguard through the chest, drops him—

0:53:06 Lou: Winsey!

0:53:19 Brennan: We're gonna do six attacks here. (rolls dice) Okay, it’s four that hit, it's two that hit. Falls, falls and then right here, hold on a sec, falls, as pilums start to move through them. Five of The Tartguard fall, they're gonna take the rest of their movement up the center. It's 10, move to here as men will start to step over the bodies of these Tartguard here. That is going to be back to top of the order, Jet, that's you.

0:54:33 Emily: Okay, I would like to jump up on the banister, behind this guy that I'm already near. And from there I'd like to attack him.

0:54:45 Brennan: This guy right here?

0:54:46 Emily: Yeah, so I'd just like to jump up on the banister right behind you.

0:54:49 Brennan: Trying to get advantage, that's-

0:54:49 Emily: I'm actually not trying to get advantage, but if I can get advantage, that'd be cool.

0:54:53 Brennan: Give me a DC 20 Acrobatics. If you fail— if you don't manage to get a 10 you're gonna fall, this is the mid-railing,

0:54:58 Murph: Please don't die.

0:54:59 Emily: If I don't manage to get a 10 that's fine. 17.

0:55:04 Brennan: Cool, so you don't- You don't get the 20 to just land up there, but you like- You don't plummet off the edge, so you're still standing here next to him on the—

0:55:12 Emily: Still standing here next to him? Fuck! Are there windows on this side?

0:55:16 Brennan: On the side here? Yes, there are-

0:55:20 Emily: There are?

0:55:21 Brennan: Right here on this level, there are windows, yeah.

0:55:23 Emily: Okay, then, okay, you’re- Amethar, you still have 0 speed, is that correct?

0:55:28 Lou: I don't have-

0:55:28 Murph: Don't worry about it. I'll grab them.

0:55:31 Emily: (to Murph) No, just— Does Amethar have zero speed?

0:55:32 Brennan: Amethar will have his speed returned to him at the beginning of his turn.

0:55:35 Emily: Okay, but he doesn’t- So he can't still use his speed right now. Okay, then I'm gonna let this- I'm gonna run past this person and attack this guy. The one who is right over there.

0:55:45 Brennan: This guy right here?

0:55:46 Emily: Yes.

0:55:46 Brennan: Cool.

0:55:47 Emily: I would like to go and attack him.

0:55:48 Brennan: You do not trigger any attacks of opportunity. You go right here and you can attack him.

0:55:51 Emily: Yes, okay.

0:55:52 Brennan: Go for it.

0:55:54 Emily: Please hit, please hit! Does a fucking 12 hit?

0:55:59 Brennan: 12 hits!

0:56:01 Emily: Yes, oh, fuck yes. I'm gonna do,

0:56:03 Brennan: These are just guys in robes, they're not-

0:56:04 Emily: I'm gonna do a superiority attack to— And I'm gonna do pushing attack and I'm gonna push him through the window. It pushes him 15 feet from me.

0:56:13 Brennan: You can break the glass normally with that— As I said before, I want to be really clear with this, 'cause this is life or death.

0:56:18 Emily: Yeah.

0:56:19 Brennan: Breaking these stone barriers is a near impossible feat of strength. Nobody's body is small enough to move through that unless these crossbeams are broken. So you can't push-

0:56:33 Emily: That's what I'm trying, I just figured his body would maybe cause more damage than if I just attacked it.

0:56:40 Brennan: With a pushing attack, I will say that's like Athletics, so it is a- The problem is that it's not just a pure Strength. It's you need to deal damage. I'll actually- Just 'cause I want this to be as clear as possible, there is a damage threshold on the stone crossbeams. You need to do a minimum of 20 damage in a single hit to even damage the stone. Anything less than that and the stone is undamaged. Now, I will say this is a very cool move, I will let you push him and try to get him through the window and at least break the glass. If you hit a nat 20 in the Box of Doom I'll let you break the stone.

0:57:19 Emily: Okay.

0:57:20 Brennan: Alright? If you- Unless you wanna change your plan, but if you hit a nat 20- Otherwise it's just the attack. You could also push him off the balcony with that pushing attack.

0:57:28 Emily: I know, I just thought maybe I would kill two birds with one stone.

0:57:31 Murph: You can break the window, it might be-

0:57:33 Brennan: Breaking the stone is not an easily done thing. It is actually a dramatically impossible thing. There is a lot that has to go right for the stone to break. 20 point of damage, not over the course of a round, in a single attack to even do 1 point of damage.

0:57:50 Siobhan: Fuck!

0:57:50 Emily: All right, fuck, I'll push him off the balcony.

0:57:52 Brennan: Okay, go ahead and roll your damage. Does he make a save or anything?

0:57:58 Emily: (rolls dice) Yeah, he has to make a 15. I only hit him- Oh my God, I rolled so bad. I only hit him for 10.

0:58:07 Brennan: You hit him for 10 and he takes 8 more on the way down.

0:58:13 Emily: Bye bitch!

0:58:15 Brennan: Hits the bottom here, bam. He takes 18 points of damage that round as your rapier moves out and sends him toppling- Like the point at his neck sends him back over the railing. (screaming) You hear him thud into the ground. That is going to be- That's Jet, that's your action. Any bonus actions, anything else?

0:58:37 Emily: A bonus action. Yeah, I don't think I have any bonus actions I can do right now.

0:58:43 Brennan: No worries.

0:58:44 Emily: Yeah.

0:58:45 Brennan: Amethar that's you.

0:58:46 Lou: Can I leap from the pulpit over the gentlemen below to tackle the Pontifex?

0:58:57 Brennan: If you get to the Pontifex you will have the potential for two of these guys to use their reactions to hit you.

0:59:05 Lou: While I'm jumping?

0:59:06 Brennan: While you're jumping, yes.

0:59:07 Lou: Okay, that's fine.

0:59:08 Brennan: Okay. (rolls dice) One of them hits for 5 points of damage halved to 2, I'm gonna need a Strength saving throw. Sorry, Dexterity saving throw.

0:59:27 Lou: That's gonna be 18.

0:59:29 Brennan: Great, you take damage, sail over here and you can tackle the Pontifex.

0:59:36 Lou: I’d like to grapple her.

0:59:38 Brennan: Excellent, go ahead and make opposed athletics.

0:59:40 Lou: Do I do this with advantage?

0:59:43 Zac: Athletics?

0:59:45 Brennan: Yes, we’re gonna say, right now you need a 20.

0:59:49 Lou: I got it. 17 plus 8.

0:59:51 Brennan: Incredible, okay. You see- You use one attack to grapple the- She is grappled.

0:59:57 Lou: Great. I hold her and I look at Deeproot and then to this guy and then up to the archers and I scream out, (dramatic music)

1:00:10 Amethar: (gasping) I have your leader! (breathes heavily) Will you not defend her?

1:00:18 Brennan: Yeah, go ahead and give me an Intimidate check.

1:00:24 Lou: Okay. (rolls dice) Damn, 9.

1:00:26 Brennan: They can hear your panic.

1:00:27 Lou: Great, then I'll, reckless attack her.

1:00:30 Emily: Yeah,

1:00:33 Brennan: Go ahead and take your attack.

1:00:37 Lou: That's gonna be plus— Over 20.

1:00:39 Brennan: That hits.

1:00:41 Lou: Alright, that’s with advantage?

1:00:43 Brennan: That's-

1:00:43 Lou: That's just me, it's the same stuff.

1:00:46 Siobhan: Didn't she hurt you last attack?

1:00:48 Lou: No she—

1:00:48 Siobhan: She did a spell?

1:00:51 Lou: 5 plus 9, 14.

1:00:55 Brennan: Jesus! The Pontifex is covered in green blood, screaming for her life. It looks just about as bad as it can be for her. That's going to be-

1:01:11 Emily: All the Rocks family's gotten a shot in at her. Yeah pops!

1:01:18 Lou: Get outta here.

1:01:20 Emily: Not without you!

1:01:23 Brennan: That's Amethar, you take your attack, your movement. Any bonus actions?

1:01:28 Lou: I'll slam the ground.

1:01:31 Brennan: The Holy Scriptures erupt into flame and all those knights take 2 damage.

1:01:36 Lou: 3 damage now.

1:01:37 Brennan: Oh, 3 damage.

1:01:38 Zac: Including her!

1:01:39 Siobhan: and the Pontifex.

1:01:40 Brennan: And the Pontifex, incredible. That's going to be these guys since,

1:01:50 Zac: Can they all see on that? Can they see the back?... Never mind, never mind.

1:01:59 Brennan: These guys are going to turn towards Amethar, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

1:02:13 Emily: Wait, so if that guy's turning away from me, do I get like an attack of opportunity?

1:02:17 Brennan: Nope.

1:02:18 Emily: Because I feel like I should, maybe. (chuckles)

1:02:22 Emily: Seems like narratively what would happen. (dramatic music)

1:02:26 Zac: Narratively, they all die, right?

1:02:28 Emily: I feel like that’s like- My character would do that.

1:02:30 Lou: And you like kick the back of his knees and he like- (motions someone falling forward)

1:02:32 Emily: (laughs) Oh, we got fucking Lapin down there too.

1:02:39 Ally: Yeah exactly.

1:02:42 Zac: Don't worry.

1:02:44 Lou: Lapin's always got a trick up his sleeve.

1:02:51 Brennan: (quietly counting dice) Okay, that’s gonna be five hits.

1:02:57 Siobhan: Fuck!

1:03:00 Brennan: Hold on, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. 1, 2, 3. (grabs and begins to shake a truly massive amount of dice)

1:03:29 Murph: (whispering) Fuck.

1:03:29 Emily: I don't like the way that sounds. That sounds like a fucking box of tictacs.

1:03:33 Ally: It was two hands full.

1:03:35 Lou: Yeah. Yeah!

1:03:39 Brennan: 9, 14, 17, 23, 26, 32, 35, 47, 53 plus 10 is 63, halved to 31 points of damage.

1:03:57 Lou: Great. Fantastic.

1:04:02 Emily: Oh, my pops is strong.

1:04:04 Lou: 23.

1:04:10 Brennan: Onion’s gonna go 2, 3, 6, he's going to wrap- He's gonna make an Athletics check. Wraps his arms around the Pontifex. And is gonna make, you're still grappling her.

1:04:28 Lou: Right.

1:04:28 Brennan: So he's going to make an opposed—

1:04:29 Lou: Against me?

1:04:30 Brennan: Check with you. You've got to beat a 17.

1:04:35 Lou: You have advantage on Strength checks.

1:04:36 Brennan: And he just rolled advantage.

1:04:38 Lou: I do, I- It’s not +2, no, it’s just 16, I think.

1:04:45 Brennan: This scrawny priest- As you- You let go of her to- Actually, your grapple actually automatically ends anyway, I realized, as you take an attack so he grabs her and is gonna take his action to dash and carry her 5, 10, 15, 20, and moves her over here.

1:05:07 Zac: Do I get an attack on her?

1:05:09 Brennan: No. You're not gonna get an attack on her because she's being moved. She's not moving on her own volition. That's going to be- Liam, that's you.

1:05:20 Ally: Can I use my coordinated attack with Preston to try to hit the DC that you have for the windows together?

1:05:28 Brennan: Can use Preston to help.

1:05:32 Zac: You all can fit through the windows, right?

1:05:34 Brennan: No, I have to explain this again. Nobody can fit through the windows unless the stone is broken.

1:05:40 Ally: And the stone is broken, as a DC- You have to deal 20- At least 20 damage.

1:05:44 Brennan: In a single attack.

1:05:46 Ally: So I'm saying with coordinated attack with me and Preston attacking-

1:05:49 Brennan: They're separate attacks, it's— Yeah, it’s separate.

1:05:51 Murph: What is the roof made of? Is that even—

1:05:53 Brennan: Stone.

1:05:54 Murph: So all of it's stone?

1:05:55 Brennan: All is stone. The weakest points of stone are these crossbars in the windows. So it's either hitting a nat 20 on an Athletics check or it's finding a way to deal 20 points of damage in a single attack.

1:06:03 Murph: Cool.

1:06:11 Ally: Okay, Preston is gonna attack first.

1:06:14 Murph: (To Emily) Sprinkle.

1:06:16 Ally: Actually, you know what? Me and Preston are gonna run up to the window, he's going to use the help action, I'm going to try to hit a nat 20.

1:06:22 Brennan: I'm gonna get the Box of Doom out.

1:06:23 Murph: Yeah, do it.

1:06:25 Emily: Oh, yes.

1:06:28 Ally: All right Preston! (rolls dice) Fuck!

1:06:33 Brennan: Two 16s.

1:06:34 Ally: Okay!

1:06:35 Brennan: So that's Preston taking the help action for you to try to break one of these windows. Which of these windows are you trying to break?

1:06:41 Ally: The one over there by Jet.

1:06:44 Brennan: Okay, this one, right up- This one right here or?

1:06:49 Ally: Just on the side, yeah.

1:06:50 Brennan: On the side? Cool. Awesome, you rush over here with Preston there to help you.

1:06:55 Ally: Cool.

1:07:01 Brennan: Keradin is going to unleash on Lapin. (tense music)

1:07:10 Brennan: (rolls dice) Lapin, at first- You take 9, 18 damage from the first attack. 5, 9, 14 from the next one, so 18 and 14. And then from last one you take 6, 14, 19 points of damage from the last one.

1:07:38 Zac: Lapin goes down.

1:08:05 Siobhan: Fuck.

1:08:06 Brennan: On the last stroke—

1:08:07 Zac: Wait, wait. Yeah, 51, yeah. I had 50 and he hit me for 51.

1:08:15 Siobhan: Fuck!

1:08:16 Emily: Fuck!

1:08:17 Brennan: He goes,

1:08:17 Keradin: (in a whisper) False prophet. How could you betray the Bulb?

1:08:19 Zac: (mimics spitting)

1:08:22 Brennan: You spit in his eye. Boom, boom, boom. (mimics three attacks) And his mace lowers you to the floor.

1:08:29 Siobhan: No!

1:08:32 Brennan: That's gonna be Tartguard. That's a hit. That’s a hit. Reaches out for 4.

1:08:45 Zac: Fly is done.

1:08:48 Emily: Ohhh.

1:08:52 Zac: Fly is done.

1:08:54 Emily: Theo’s no longer—

1:08:57 Brennan: That's right, Fly's done.

1:08:58 Siobhan: I have an idea.

1:09:02 Brennan: Lady Plumbeline is going to- 5, 10, leap here. Go for Amethar. (rolls dice) That's a hit.

1:09:25 Ally: I’m gonna make my Clinton's hit list.

1:09:29 Lou: Great.

1:09:30 Siobhan: (laughs)

1:09:32 Brennan: 17, plus-

1:09:32 Siobhan: Number one, Jeffrey Epstein.

1:09:36 Brennan: 19, halved to 9 points of damage for Amethar.

1:09:41 Lou: 18, 17.

1:09:46 Brennan: That is Lady Plumbeline who rushes up and slashes at you again. Lapin, I'm going to need a death saving throw.

1:09:57 Zac: Does Lapin see The Sugar-Plum Fairy or anything interesting? And do I- What I- In this state? Hear the rest about that book?

1:10:06 Brennan: As you slip into unconsciousness- You discovered that though people can form a relationship with the Bulb in the same way and get magic from it in the same way, unlike The Sugar-Plum Fairy, you discern the true nature of the Bulb and its presence as a spiritual entity in Calorum. The Bulb is mindless. It does not possess any intellect, intelligence, sapience or awareness. It merely is, and the people that are capable of accessing it may access it for whatever ends they wish. Zac nods several times.

1:10:43 Brennan: Death saving throw.

1:10:43 Zac: Come on, nat 20. 2.

1:10:47 Brennan: That is a failure. Ruby, that's you.

1:10:52 Siobhan: Okay, let me know if you'll let me do this. So what I would like to do is get out my rope, I'd like to give one end of the rope to Theo and then use my Mage Hand, as a bonus action to send the other end to dad, to my pops. And then I would like to cast Fog Cloud where Pops is.

1:11:15 Brennan: Mage Hand and Fog Cloud are-

1:11:17 Siobhan: Mage Hand is a cantrip and it's a bonus action because I am an Arcane Trickster.

1:11:20 Emily: Oh, yeah!

1:11:23 Brennan: (laughs) Very well. You hand one end of your rope, it’s a free object interaction, and you hand one end your rope to Theobald. Your Mage Hand no longer is a spectral- Is no longer a force you can see. In the reflections of all of the shining metal relics on the dais, you see what your Mage Hand has become. The hand that moves is not one of your two hands, but in the reflections that you see the spirit of your aunt reaching out with her hand and she brings the rope to her brother, Amethar, through the air.

1:11:57 Siobhan: And then I cast Fog Cloud, so it's a 20 foot radius around him and none of those people can get opportunity attacks against him, but because he has the rope, he knows- You just go in that-

1:12:08 Brennan: Right here, Fog Cloud?

1:12:10 Siobhan: Yeah, like a 20 foot- However many- Yeah, great.

1:12:11 Brennan: That's 20 foot radius. So just right there. Or you want- You guys out of it or in it?

1:12:16 Siobhan: I want us out of it, but maybe this archer that's by Jet, if that guy can be in it—

1:12:24 Brennan: Yeah, you can clock them all.

1:12:26 Emily: Will this give me disadvantage to attack him though?

1:12:29 Brennan: You will still be able to see him cause he's within 5 feet of you.

1:12:30 Siobhan: And then I'd like to call Yak,

1:12:32 Ruby: Yak, to me! Yak caws.

1:12:38 Siobhan: And then, do you have Sprinkle with you?

1:12:41 Murph: Yeah.

1:12:42 Siobhan: Okay, great. So I'll keep Yak with me for now. I just wanna make sure that you have advantage on any-

1:12:47 Murph: Athletics checks.

1:12:52 Siobhan: Yeah.

1:12:54 Brennan: Fog cloud. Fog Cloud is concentration, correct?

1:12:57 Siobhan: Fog Cloud is concentration.

1:13:00 Brennan: Okay, the next to act- That's Ruby, that's your action. Theo, that's you.

1:13:05 Murph: Sweet. Okay, I have this rope. Amethar has the other side of it. I guess— Could I— Is this bullshit if I try to take the rope and yank Amethar while trying to run at the window?

1:13:28 Brennan: I will allow- Lou, if you want Amethar to use his reaction, I will allow you to roll an Athletics check with disadvantage, to try to grab the rope that is like a sudden- You're just like, in the middle of the rage and you just see a rope suddenly moved there. But because you roll with advantage it will just be a straight roll. We'll call it a DC 15 Athletics check.

1:13:54 Siobhan: Fuck.

1:13:55 Lou: 10.

1:13:56 Murph: Fuck!

1:13:57 Brennan: The rope lands, you know where the rope is on the ground, but you're gonna not be able to grab it until your turn. You can delay your turn if you wish.

1:14:02 Murph: I still have the rope. I want- Can I essentially use my movements and action to bust- Try to bust the window? But still be prepared- Like still be prepared to-

1:14:08 Brennan: Still be prepared to- (mimics holding the rope)

1:14:15 Murph: I'm like- I'm still holding onto the rope, but I just want to like take the rope and run and try to just shoulder ram the window. (dramatic music)

1:14:21 Brennan: All right. I assume Sprinkle’s gonna-

1:14:22 Murph: Sprinkle will help. Ally claps.

1:14:24 Brennan: Okay, go ahead, give me the roll. You're trying to hit a nat 20 on this.

1:14:32 Ally: You got this, Murph.

1:14:33 Emily: You got this.

1:14:33 Zac: Come on, dude.

1:14:35 Emily: You got this.

1:14:36 Murph: (rolls dice) Nope.

1:14:40 Brennan: No. There you go, you still got the rope. You hit right here. Okay. That's your action, Theo.

1:14:54 Murph: I think- (sighs) I think Lapin is probably fucked, but I don't want my main rabbit to get taken out like a punk by the stupid carrot.

1:15:08 Zac: Don't!

1:15:08 Murph: So I'm gonna bonus action Compelled Duel Keradin, just so he doesn't get like stabbed off the ground.

1:15:11 Siobhan: Yes!

1:15:13 Emily: Oh, yeah.

1:15:14 Theobald: (raising his hands) You’re gonna attack a rabbit on the ground, you stupid carrot? You mindless fool!

1:15:22 Brennan: Okay, first of all, we got to get the range on that. This is the battle that I gotta be a stickler for everything. What is the range on Compelled Duel?

1:15:29 Murph: I don't know, I just- It's a part of my-

1:15:31 Brennan: Your sword, right?

1:15:31 Murph: My- Of the Broadsicle, so it just says “may cast Compelled Duel once per long rest.”

1:15:36 Brennan: Range is 30 feet.

1:15:37 Murph: Wow, okay, so I can't see him?

1:15:40 Brennan: Let me see here, this is 30. No, he's almost twice as far away.

1:15:50 Murph: Okay, well I just talk shit to him. (Brennan and Emily chuckle)

1:15:53 Murph: And then, that- And then I can't see anybody cause there's the fog cloud down there, so I can't Compelled Duel anybody down there. Okay, I’m gonna save my Compelled Duel in case things get even worse. I don't know how that's possible, but they might. That's my turn.

1:16:08 Brennan: The Pontifex is going to go, she is going to- (rolls dice)

1:16:31 Murph: (Pointing at Emily and Lou) You’re the only ones that can do more than 20 damage in one attack.

1:16:34 Emily: I can't without Sneak Attack and I'm definitely concerned- I'm hoping, I'll let you know,

1:16:42 Siobhan: You can't Sneak Attack on a window.

1:16:43 Emily: Yeah.

1:16:45 Murph: You can if you get advantage.

1:16:46 Emily: I can't get advantage, I never had advantage.

1:16:48 Zac: Sprinkle can—

1:16:50 Brennan: The Pontifex casts a spell on herself, healing herself of most of her injuries. And as a bonus action, she'll do that again. And continues to actually move, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, she's gonna go here. That's going to be the Knights that are all going to take swings with disadvantage through the fog. (dramatic music)

1:17:10 Ally: (quietly, pointing to the set) Make kind of a weird cone.

1:17:30 Brennan: It's a miss. That's a miss.

1:17:33 Emily: (whispering) There’s a thing that I hope will help but not- We’ll see when we get to my turn.

1:17:36 Brennan: That's a miss for sure.

1:17:40 Ally: Zac, how many times have you gone?

1:17:43 Zac: Twice. No, maybe I've gone once. I’ve only gone once. 'Cause he killed me right before my turn.

1:17:51 Siobhan: (quietly) Fuck!

1:18:00 Brennan: One of these dudes hits you for-

1:18:02 Lou: Sorry, I feel bad and honesty is the best policy. I Reckless Attacked the Pontifex, so disadvantaged attacks-

1:18:11 Brennan: You did Reckless Attack.

1:18:12 Lou: You should have advantage, disadvantage and they should all—

1:18:13 Brennan: And they should all cancel out. I'm gonna re-roll these attacks. Thank you.

1:18:20 Siobhan: You're a good man. I'm gonna miss you so much! (laughs)

1:18:24 Emily: Stop, I'm not leaving without him!

1:18:29 Ally: I really- I think the max I can do is 16.

1:18:35 Emily: I don't have to-

1:18:36 Brennan: 9 halved to 4 and-

1:18:39 Siobhan: I can get-

1:18:40 Brennan: 10 and a halved to 5.

1:18:41 Lou: So a total of 9?

1:18:45 Brennan: A total of 9.

1:18:48 Lou: I cannot do math right now. 8.

1:19:01 Brennan: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, she moves onto dais. These guys move here, here.

1:19:11 Zac: Goddamn it!

1:19:28 Brennan: (rolls dice) The rest of the Tartguard fall.

1:19:32 Ally: (whispering) You did a good job.

1:19:33 Lou: You did a great job. I’m proud of you, Tartguard.

1:19:41 Brennan: Because they were not engaged in combat, one Ceresian soldier ends his turn within 5 feet of Lapin and is going to take an attack on the prone Lapin.

1:19:54 Zac: So it's an automatic hit, right?

1:19:56 Brennan: It is not an automatic hit, but he's got advantage.

1:19:57 Murph: Advantage. And if he hits, he crits.

1:19:59 Zac: 14 is my armour class.

1:20:03 Siobhan: God!

1:20:06 Brennan: You have one failure already, correct?

1:20:08 Zac: Yeah. Brennan takes a long time rolling the soldier’s attack. Once he does, he looks down at it and clearly tries to repress a small smile. He takes a long, dramatic sigh before speaking.

1:20:24 Brennan: He rolled a 1 and 2.

1:20:26 Ally: You're fucking kidding me. Zac puts his head fully on the table.

1:20:27 Emily: (shouting) Oh my God!

1:20:29 Lou: My brain just shot out of the back of my head. I literally lost thoughts.

1:20:34 Siobhan: You smiled, then I was like, "You fucking piece of shit. You’re smiling as you're killing him?”

1:20:38 Emily: I couldn't even look at you, it's- Oh my God.

1:20:40 Lou: My brain is crazy, my brain hurts right now. Ooh, ow.

1:20:46 Ally: I'm not gonna sleep tonight. It's 3 a.m. in a warehouse in Hollywood. (laughs)

1:20:53 Ally: And we have to go home to our beds after this.

1:20:53 Lou: Save us! Come save us!

1:20:57 Brennan: I mean, Lapin is- (stammers) this is a— We may be back here very soon. That is going to be back to the top of the initiative. That's Jet.

1:21:03 Ally: Okay.

1:21:09 Emily: Okay. I am going to attack this archer in front of me.

1:21:13 Brennan: Okay.

1:21:15 Emily: Please hit, please hit, please hit. Okay, I hit him and I'm going to use a superiority die, to use a Maneuvering Attack and I'm gonna choose a friendly creature who can see or hear me and he can use its reaction to move half its speed, without provoking opportunity attacks. And I'm going to shout out to my dad and say,

1:21:31 Jet: Climb.

1:21:34 Brennan: He can't see- Oh, see-

1:21:35 Emily: Hear!

1:21:35 Brennan: See or hear you. Okay, hold on one second. Let me look at Maneuvering Attack really quickly. Lou and Zac wrap an arm around each other's shoulders and Lou pats his back.

1:21:47 Siobhan: Ah, fuck!

1:21:49 Zac: This shit is stupid. (laughs)

1:21:53 Lou: The amount of- Looking at those Ceresians- That's so wild, just see.

1:21:59 Murph: And I have a rope that is down there near you,

1:22:02 Emily: He has a- Yeah.

1:22:04 Siobhan: Yeah, climb up.

1:22:06 Brennan: When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one. Yep, so you expend one superiority die, you just have to hit him.

1:22:11 Emily: I did, I just did.

1:22:12 Brennan: Oh, awesome, go ahead and roll damage.

1:22:14 Emily: Okay. The damage is 17 but much more importantly, I tell- It's a 17 to this archer. And then I say,

1:22:24 Jet: Dad, climb!

1:22:29 Brennan: I'm going to say a bad news thing and then I'm going to provide an immediate fix for it. Which is that technically Amethar has already used his reaction and so he cannot use the reaction- Can’t use his reaction to move. However, I will remind you that Amethar goes immediately after your initiative. So all you have to do is just wait for Amethar to begin his turn to be able to do this. You literally act on the same initiative. Just a little rule keeping for myself. This game is hard. So go ahead and roll damage for the archer.

1:23:03 Emily: Yeah, well, but the important thing is now he at least won't get- Oh, I already did, it was 17-

1:23:08 Brennan: 17, awesome.

1:23:08 Emily: But he also won't get opportunity attacks. So he can basically get like, a free disengage and stuff.

1:23:13 Siobhan: He won’t anyway, he’s still in-

1:23:15 Brennan: At the beginning- Incredible-

1:23:16 Siobhan: Unless I get-

1:23:17 Brennan: At the beginning of Amethar's turn you have a free 15 feet of movement. I'm sorry, halved movement, you have 20 feet of free movement with disengage.

1:23:26 Lou: Great, so I'd like to use as much as- Like, can I use the rope and start to pull myself up?

1:23:34 Brennan: Yes, you can, go ahead and just give me a DC 15 Athletics check.

1:23:43 Lou: Done.

1:23:43 Brennan: Cool.

1:23:44 Lou: Alright, 18 plus 8.

1:23:46 Ally: Oh! Okay.

1:23:47 Brennan: Okay, you're going up the rope.

1:23:49 Lou: Great.

1:23:50 Brennan: Cool.

1:23:51 Lou: And then I'd like to immediately charge the window that Theobald was working on and recklessly attack it.

1:23:59 Emily: Yey, yeah.

1:24:03 Brennan: I will also remind you, this thing needs 20 points of damage, minimum threshold, sneak attack will not work, however, the great weapon master ability of adding those d6 will work against this.

1:24:14 Lou: Then yeah, I will both Reckless Attack and take the -5 to do two more d6.

1:24:20 Brennan: Okay, go ahead, first of all, and recklessly attack. Go ahead and roll. You're trying to hit AC 17.

1:24:29 Lou: (rolls dice) That definitely- 10 plus 10 equals 20. (cheering) (Box of Doom music)

1:24:32 Brennan: Okay, we're gonna talk about these windows right now. They have 30 hit points, you need to do minimum 20 damage. You're about to deal 4d6 plus 9 damage, which means that you need to get at least- I'm gonna get the Box of Doom, we're gonna roll damage in the Box of Doom. You need to get at least 11 points to damage this window.

1:24:45 Lou: (rolls dice) Oh.

1:24:58 Brennan: You do not roll 11, your first attack is- Your Payment Day thuds into the stone (clang).

1:25:07 Murph: Do you have Great Weapon Fighting?

1:25:07 Lou: I do but we changed it from flat 10 to 2d6.

1:25:11 Brennan: Great Weapon Master. Great Weapon Fighting is a fighter ability.

1:25:13 Murph: Ah, you’re a barbarian.

1:25:14 Brennan: Here comes the second Reckless Attack.

1:25:17 Lou: (rolls dice) Ah, again, hits—

1:25:18 Brennan: Okay, you need to roll at least an 11, as we discussed.

1:25:23 Zac: Come on. Lou rolls a 1, 3, 5, and 4.

1:25:28 Brennan: 5, 4, 12, 13 points of damage plus 9 is 22! (cast cheers)

1:25:33 Brennan: Incredible! Your father leaps onto the balcony, in the midst of rage. (roars and mimics attack) Great. This is incredibly badly kept together, this thing is like- You know, the stone is badly weakened, but again, even weakened it still has that 20 damage threshold. So that's now going to be, that's Jet. That is Jet and Amethar. The priests are going to go, this guy is going to bonus action disengage.

1:26:17 Emily: Actually he can't disengage from me, I don't think, ‘cause I have Sentinel. (Brennan gasps in shock)

1:26:20 Emily: So I get to attack him.

1:26:22 Brennan: (laughs incredulously) Go for it.

1:26:26 Emily: Okay. (rolls die) That's gonna hit. And then let me see, so that'll be- I'm gonna hit him for 15.

1:26:41 Brennan: He's dead. He goes to step away from you and your rapier- He flashes out as your dad is hewing at the cathedral wall, (attack motion) through the head, this priest falls to the ground. That's going to be- That's him. These two are gonna wheel around. And this guy is going to step here. That's a miss both times and that's a miss as well. These guys are going to take shots at...

1:27:17 Lou: Can they?

1:27:18 Murph: There's fog too.

1:27:18 Emily: There's fog.

1:27:20 Brennan: There's fog right there. These guys, yeah, none of them can take shots here. These guys are both going to jump down the hatches. And they, can't take shots at fucking anybody. This guy's going to stand up, move one, he's gonna move back here. He's gonna take a shot at Liam with disadvantage. That is a hit, Liam, you take 3 points of damage. That's going to now be Liam, that is you.

1:28:01 Ally: Okay, I am going to come by Amethar's side at this window. So from over in that little wing, if you could move me over here.

1:28:12 Zac: Yeah, makes sense.

1:28:13 Brennan: You're gonna go next to Amethar? Okay, cool.

1:28:15 Ally: And try to hit this window.

1:28:18 Zac: Is Preston there with you?

1:28:19 Ally: I am going to send Preston and I'm going to say,

1:28:23 Liam: Go to Lapin.

1:28:26 Ally: And Preston is going to fly to you and curl up in a ball under you and give you advantage on your next roll.

1:28:31 Zac: (smiling) You can’t do that!

1:28:35 Ally: Preston’s gonna take the help action and then this, my friends, is gonna be the nat 20 that breaks the window!

1:28:42 Emily: Yes! Yes it is!

1:28:44 Ally: One die.

1:28:44 Emily: I believe!

1:28:46 Ally: I am feeling lucky.

1:28:48 Emily: I believe!

1:28:49 Brennan: That's a 14!

1:28:51 Ally: Eyy! That's next to the 20.

1:28:54 Lou: Is it?

1:28:54 Ally: It is!

1:28:55 Siobhan: Now I need to know. It is!

1:28:56 Lou: Oh, it is!

1:28:58 Ally: We were close.

1:29:00 Zac: It's too sweet.

1:29:03 Ally: There's a little pig next to you.

1:29:04 Zac: In sweetness there is strength!

1:29:06 Ally: Yes, exactly.

1:29:07 Emily: (laughs) (dramatic music)

1:29:09 Brennan: Okay, Preston, prostrated over- Keradin- up over Lapin's body. Keradin is going to rain blows down on top of Peppermint Preston. (Siobhan gasps)

1:29:26 Ally: It's his turn?

1:29:28 Lou: Is he attacking Peppermint Preston?

1:29:30 Brennan: You took your action to try to break the window. Preston flew down to protect Lapin. Keradin is going to go for Preston.

1:29:35 Ally: Okay, he's up.

1:29:37 Siobhan: What a fuckin’ heel!

1:29:38 Lou: What an absolute fucking—

1:29:39 Siobhan: That pig is cute and you're hitting it.

1:29:44 Brennan: That's a hit.

1:29:45 Ally: Armor class 16?

1:29:48 Brennan: Yeah, that's a miss. That's a hit. So that's going to be—

1:29:54 Ally: (sadly) Here we go.

1:29:59 Brennan: How many hit points does Preston have?

1:30:01 Ally: 26.

1:30:03 Brennan: He takes 11, 12 and 17, so 28.

1:30:13 Brennan: Is Preston down?

1:30:13 Ally: Preston's dead.

1:30:15 Brennan: Preston is down, making death savings throws. Down here.

1:30:19 Ally: Lapin is giving me advantage on those, right? (sad, tragic laughs) Zac is face down on the table.

1:30:27 Ally: That's how it works right? Was it even that carrot dildo’s turn?

1:30:36 Brennan: Lapin, it's your turn, I'm gonna need another death saving throw.

1:30:40 Zac: Can I just pray to The Sugar-Plum Fairy?

1:30:44 Lapin: I had another wish. You're supposed to— I was supposed to do a third thing for you.

1:30:54 Siobhan: Fuck.

1:30:54 Zac: 2 again.

1:30:56 Brennan: That is a second death saving throw failure.

1:31:00 Emily: Oh my God.

1:31:02 Brennan: Ruby, that's your turn.

1:31:04 Ally: It could have been a nat 1.

1:31:05 Siobhan: I don't get Sneak Attack against this window?

1:31:07 Brennan: Nope.

1:31:08 Siobhan: Okay, here- How's this for some fuckery? So Sword Burst is 1d6 damage, but it's a 5 foot range and these windows are 15 feet. So how about I might triple the amount of damage? (laughs) I'm so sorry. I'm trying to keep a straight face. (Emily laughs)

1:31:32 Siobhan: Okay, I'm gonna shoot, I think with advantage. If I do Melf’s Acid aArrow, which I get once a day with my bow, is that on top of my regular damage or is that separate from my regular damage?

1:31:45 Brennan: Sorry, you do Melf’s Acid Arrow, sorry?

1:31:48 Siobhan: Is this on top of my regular arrow damage?

1:31:52 Brennan: No, separate.

1:31:54 Siobhan: So I have to crit, okay. (rolls dice) I do not, and is Manta Ray Jack within 30 feet of us, below us?

1:32:12 Brennan: Yeah.

1:32:13 Siobhan: I would like to use as a bonus action my Mage Hand with my thieves’ tools to unlock his shackles.

1:32:21 Brennan: Go ahead and give me a thieves' tool check with advantage.

1:32:23 Siobhan: Great. (rolls dice) I rolled two nat 1s.

1:32:27 Emily: Oh my God!

1:32:31 Siobhan: I drop my thieves’ tools.

1:32:32 Zac: Fuck this game!

1:32:34 Siobhan: Jesus fucking Christ.

1:32:35 Emily: You can have mine. Oh my God!

1:32:37 Brennan: (chains shaking) He's even more manacled than before. (laughs)

1:32:43 Ally: Your Mage Hand is just tightening his shackles.

1:32:44 Siobhan: There's a 1 in 400 chance and I rolled two nat 1s. Goddamn!

1:32:49 Brennan: Theo, that's you my dude.

1:32:50 Siobhan: This fucking game!

1:32:52 Murph: Okay. I think there's no way with an attack that I can do 20 damage. So I just gotta keep trying to bash it-

1:32:58 Emily: Without my sneak attack and if I hit, I have a sliver of a chance. If you get 20-

1:33:04 Siobhan: If you crit. You can't do sneak attack against the window.

1:33:06 Emily: I know, I know I can't, but if I add one of my superiority die I have a sliver of a chance.

1:33:10 Murph: Cool, can I- I have two attacks. Can I like, shoulder ram it twice with Athletics? Or just once?

1:33:15 Brennan: You do twice.

1:33:16 Murph: Okay, I'll do it twice,

1:33:17 Brennan: Gotta hit that nat 20-

1:33:17 Murph: So one I get advantage on and one I won’t, cause Sprinkle can only help me with that.

1:33:21 Brennan: And I'll say with how weak it is let's call it a 19 or 20.

1:33:23 Murph: Okay.

1:33:24 Emily: Come on, my husband, come on my husband!

1:33:26 Lou: Come on, my husband!

1:33:28 Murph: Fuck, I got an 18!

1:33:30 Lou: My husband! (drops his head to the table)

1:33:31 Ally: Alright.

1:33:32 Murph: Alright, I got one more. 19! (cast cheers)

1:33:44 Brennan: Amethar, the weakened stone, you take your sword back. The exact number that was created by Amethar hewing into the stone. Theo, you step back, leap, (clatter) go through the stone and immediately start falling.

1:34:05 Murph: Sweet.

1:34:07 Brennan: You take,

1:34:07 Murph: Can I try to grab on- Cause I'd love to- If possible, be able to like help people out.

1:34:17 Brennan: You bust through— Yeah, give me a Dexterity saving throw, to not- DC 15 Dexterity save to not go through the fucking window.

1:34:19 Murph: Oh no!

1:34:22 Brennan: You're a giant armored bear.

1:34:24 Zac: You have Feather Fall, right?

1:34:25 Murph: I don't, that was- I wanted to take it, but I can't take it with, uh. Eh, 12.

1:34:32 Brennan: You take 7 points of damage.

1:34:33 Murph: Okay. But I just fall out the window?

1:34:35 Brennan: You fucking fall out the window, breaking the fucking glass.

1:34:38 Theobald: We're going everyone, we're going!

1:34:40 Brennan: Knights begin to rush, the stairs, the one with the other- They go for the hatches to get upstairs to you guys. Out of the fog. So the knights are pursuing you. The infantry begins to spread out around you. Jet, that is your turn.

1:35:00 Emily: That's my turn? Okay, I'm gonna bonus action Second Wind. Just to get that out of the way. Okay, so that's going to be extra 12. And then I think, Ruby, where are you at, hit points wise?

1:35:20 Siobhan: I'm at 28.

1:35:21 Emily: What are you at, Liam?

1:35:22 Ally: 7.

1:35:24 Emily: Can I grab Liam and take all the falling damage myself?

1:35:28 Brennan: Yeah.

1:35:29 Emily: I'll do that.

1:35:31 Brennan: You grab Liam.

1:35:33 Zac: Do you have like a rope?

1:35:35 Siobhan: Yeah, you have a rope.

1:35:36 Emily: Oh okay, I set up a rope.

1:35:38 Brennan: I'm going to say, it's only 4 points of falling damage.

1:35:41 Emily: Okay, okay.

1:35:42 Murph: And that's way more dramatic and cool.

1:35:43 Emily: Okay yeah.

1:35:45 Brennan: As you leap with Liam out, you save- You protect Liam from the fall. Liam, I'm gonna say you actually do take half of that, though. You do take 2 points of damage. What are you at right now?

1:35:52 Ally: 5.

1:36:00 Brennan: 5, okay. As you guys hit the deck.

1:36:03 Emily: I don't have any way to heal you, I'm sorry.

1:36:04 Brennan: Amethar, that's you. Lou stares at the set, contemplating. (dramatic music)

1:36:09 Ally: Do it.

1:36:13 Zac: Get out of here!

1:36:13 Siobhan: Get out of here!

1:36:15 Jet: Dad!

1:36:17 Emily: Did I- was I supposed to hold my action?

1:36:19 Theobald: You don't have to die to save your daughters, grab Ruby and jump out of the window.

1:36:24 Jet: If you die, I will only end up getting myself killed to avenge you.

1:36:32 Lou: I'm gonna grab Ruby and throw her out the window.

1:36:35 Brennan: Cool, that's your action. You grabbed Ruby, Yak follows her. Ruby, you take—

1:36:42 Siobhan: Uncanny Dodge.

1:36:44 Brennan: 7 halved to 3 points of damage. Yak flies out after you. That's your action.

1:36:50 Lou: Can I make a Perception check?

1:36:51 Brennan: Yes.

1:36:52 Lou: Do they need time to get away?

1:36:56 Brennan: You look out behind you, behind the cathedral. You- This has only been a matter of second that this happened, there are not- This was not so much of an ambush. There was a potential that you would have submitted to arrest. This alley is not crawling with soldiers and there is a wide city out there in Comida to run through.

1:37:16 Lou: I look back at Lapin's body.

1:37:20 Siobhan: Ah, fuck!

1:37:23 Lou: I think for a second and then I jump out the window.

1:37:32 Brennan: You take...

1:37:33 Ally: (to Murph, whispering) Sprinkle’s still in there, give him advantage!

1:37:35 Brennan: You come out of rage for not attacking, the full 8 points of damage.

1:37:36 Lou: I’m down.

1:37:40 Murph: Can I catch him as a reaction? I have my shield reaction still and everything.

1:37:44 Brennan: You can halve the damage or no- Yeah, you can take the damage.

1:37:47 Murph: I'll just like, let him crash into me. (mimics him catching Amethar)

1:37:48 Brennan: You take 8 points of damage as you catch your king falling out of the window.

1:37:54 Siobhan: Fuck.

1:37:58 Brennan: Liam, you're outside now, you're at 5 hit points.

1:38:02 Siobhan: Our healer died.

1:38:04 Brennan: The Pontifex walks over here, looks at Keradin. Keradin closes his eyes, prays, lifts his mace and takes just enough time to give Lapin one last turn.

1:38:21 Zac: Really?

1:38:24 Brennan: You have one last death save, there is only one thing that can possibly save you and it's a nat 20, which will let you regain one hit point and take a turn.

1:38:33 Emily: I think I might puke.

1:38:34 Brennan: Let me get the Box of Doom.

1:38:36 Murph: And then you could fly if you still have a spell, I don't know if you do.

1:38:40 Ally: He does, he's only done one move this whole fight.

1:38:41 Emily: Please, please!

1:38:43 Brennan: This is the nat 20 right here.

1:38:47 Zac: Come on Sugar-Plum Fairy...

1:38:48 Ally: Come on.

1:38:49 Zac: I fucking hate you, but please.

1:38:54 Brennan: That's a 13. On the ground outside of the cathedral you all need desperately to run as fast as you can. Lapin, bludgeoned and beaten by Sir Keradin's mace, you’re unable to cast spells, but your eyes open blearily for a moment. As you look up you see the Pontifex and Sir Keradin staring down at you. Pontifex’s lips curl. She says,

1:39:46 Pontifex: Heretic, apostate. Warlock of the Sugar-Plum Fairy. You mock that which is bright and shining. Do you have any last words?

1:40:10 Zac: Can I make an Insight check just to see if she knows the true nature of the Bulb?

1:40:19 Brennan: Yeah, give me one with advantage.

1:40:28 Zac: It's only a 14.

1:40:32 Brennan: (sighs heavily) The blood seeps into your eyes. You can't quite look at her. She stares at you and you think, that this woman doesn't— Not only doesn't know whether the Bulb is real or not, or sentient or not. You also think she doesn't care. And you think that she gets what she wants from the Bulb, and that is power.

1:41:08 Pontifex: Any last words?

1:41:16 Zac: Knowing that, I just want to say, just loudly to everyone that,

1:41:29 Lapin: The Bulb cares for no one.

1:41:32 Brennan: She whips her head to Keradin and says,

1:41:35 Pontifex: End it!

1:41:37 Brennan: You hear a voice in your ear.

1:41:41 Sugar-Plum Fairy: They wouldn't have survived this without you. My third wish is for you to come home.

1:41:50 Brennan: In the alley outside, you watch Keradin stand up and a sickening crunch as chocolate splashes and covers the front of the church. With a final twitch, Lapin is gone. There is no time to mourn. You have to move.

1:42:19 Murph: I try to grab everyone.

1:42:19 Theobald: We need to go, now!

1:42:22 Lou: I start running.

1:42:24 Brennan: You manage one last look through the windows as Keradin stands up, expressionless, and turns to look at you, points through the window and you flee into the streets of Comida. And that's it for this episode of A Crown of Candy. See you guys next week.

1:42:45 Siobhan: (whispering) Fuck, man. Fades to black. There is no preview. [NEXT EPISODE - Episode 7: Escape from the Bulb Creeps] Edited by gluegunshots, Kyber Bonsai, rowan solsys
