Blood & Bread

0:00:19 Brennan: [more subdued than usual] Welcome, one and all, to another episode of A Crown of Candy. I'm your dungeon master, Brennan Lee Mulligan, with me are some of our intrepid heroes. Say hi, intrepid heroes.

0:00:27 Siobhan: No, we don't have time for this. Let’s get right into it.

0:00:29 Lou: Too much murdering to do, let's go.

0:00:33 Brennan: [laughs] Okay. We are going to not start by rolling initiative. You see before you Castle Candy, the town of Dulcington beneath and we see all the various peoples and you see that in fact, the environs of Castle Candy extend not just in our board, but at the borders of it as well. We're gonna resolve some stuff before we jump straight into battle. Let's go ahead and start with Theobald.

0:00:59 Murph: Okay.

0:01:01 Brennan: Go ahead, Theobald, and roll initiative for me, if you'd be so kind, just you.

0:01:04 Murph: Okay. Do I get any kind of surprise for like—

0:01:08 Brennan: You're gonna get a surprise round on them.

0:01:10 Murph: Okay, sweet. Okay, come on, for once, do good on initiative. Okay, 11, I will take that.

0:01:20 Brennan: Excellent, they're gonna roll. They rolled a natural 3, go ahead and take your surprise round.

0:01:24 Murph: Oh my god. You made a huge mistake not killing me first, you stupid little muffins. I'm going to cast- Now I have War Magic, which means I can cast a cantrip to do Green Flame Blade and also still do two attacks, so I'm gonna attack the first guy with advantage because of Sprinkle. That is an 18 to hit?

0:01:48 Brennan: That hits!

0:01:49 Murph: Okay, so that is--

0:01:51 Zac: Do you have advantage on a surprise round too?

0:01:52 Murph: Oh, I get advantage anyway.

0:01:55 Brennan: That's true, yeah.

0:01:56 Murph: I'm not gonna use Sprinkle.

0:01:57 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

0:01:57 Murph: Okay. That is 15, 20 damage to the first guy.

0:02:03 Brennan: Dropped.

0:02:03 Murph: Hell yeah.

0:02:04 Lou: Whoa!

0:02:05 Murph: And the next guy's gonna take some fire damage from Green Flame Blade. He takes 6 damage?

0:02:12 Brennan: Okay, not dropped.

0:02:13 Murph: Then I'm gonna take an attack on him.

0:02:18 Zac: Fuck him up!

0:02:21 Murph: That is another 18 to hit.

0:02:22 Brennan: That hits.

0:02:26 Murph: That is another 10 damage.

0:02:28 Brennan: You've done 16 to him? You did 6 and then—

0:02:30 Murph: Yes.

0:02:32 Brennan: Dropped. That's the surprise round, there is one left standing.

0:02:36 Murph: Okay.

0:02:37 Brennan: You go first, you go before him.

0:02:37 Murph: Sweet. Sprinkle, help me out here. I'm gonna cast Green Flame Blade again.

0:02:42 Brennan: Okay. (Siobhan laughs)

0:02:47 Murph: That is 25 to hit.

0:02:49 Brennan: That does it.

0:02:50 Lou: Oh, I love the good Theo.

0:02:54 Murph: That is 5 damage, does it go- Okay, it's just one, da da da, 5, 10 damage on the first attack.

0:03:03 Brennan: Okay.

0:03:05 Murph: All right. This is just the regular non-advantage one, come on. That is a 14 to hit?

0:03:13 Brennan: 14 hits.

0:03:14 Murph: Nice. Another 8 damage.

0:03:19 Brennan: Theo, they have locked you in an iron barred door with the body of Sir Toby, one of the knights of North-Gumbia, they laugh outside. In a swirling helix of Candian magic energy, you reach back into all the lessons you learned as Candia's Eldritch Knight, sworn to the protection of its Archmage. The door explodes off its hinges and as their faces follow, you slide with Sprinkle at your side.

0:03:44 Sprinkle: (babbling) For Candia!

0:03:51 Brennan: The Battlepop explodes with bright candy neon energy and all of these Muffinfield soldiers are dead before they even have a chance to draw their weapons.

0:04:01 Murph: Amazing.

0:04:03 Brennan: What does Theo do?

0:04:06 Murph: I rush towards, I guess the ki- I'm gonna start running towards the king's quarters, but if I see any fighting along the way or whatever, I'm looking for Amethar and the princesses.

0:04:21 Brennan: Okay.

0:04:22 Murph: 'Cause I assume they're still here.

0:04:23 Brennan: Give me an Investigation check.

0:04:25 Murph: Oh boy. Nat 1.

0:04:30 Brennan: Okay. You find Caramelinda. She looks at you. She is walking, and she goes,

0:04:34 Caramelinda: Well, supper's getting cold, so I don't know where the princesses think they've gone, but--

0:04:41 Theobald: My queen, we're being attacked by Calroy's soldiers.

0:04:45 Caramelinda: What?

0:04:46 Theobald: There's some kind of- Something is going on. Where's the king, where are the princesses and why are you not with the guards right now? You need to come with me.

0:04:54 Caramelinda: We're in the castle. Sir Theo, calm yourself.

0:04:56 Theobald: There is an attack. Toby was killed.

0:04:58 Brennan: You see some soldiers walk around the corner wearing Muffinfield colors, with the symbol of House Cruller.

0:05:07 Murph: Can I do an Insight check?

0:05:09 Brennan: Yes, you can. And Sprinkle's gonna give you advantage.

0:05:12 Murph: Okay. 16.

0:05:22 Brennan: 16, you look at Caramelinda and see a look of true confusion and consternation in her eyes and she goes,

0:05:30 Caramelinda: Have you lost the princesses again?

0:05:33 Brennan: And you see the soldiers drawing crossbows as they train their guard on the queen.

0:05:37 Murph: I stand in front of her.

0:05:39 Brennan: You jump in front of her. These guys take shots at you. That is- One of them is going to hit you for 6 points of damage.

0:05:54 Murph: Okay, so minus 2?

0:05:56 Brennan: Minus 3.

0:05:56 Murph: Minus 3, so 3.

0:06:00 Brennan: Crossbow goes up, the queen screams and says,

0:06:03 Caramelinda: What is the meaning of this?! This is Sir Theobald! So everyone lower your weapons at once!

0:06:08 Brennan: These Muffinfield soldiers have no expression on their face as they train on you and the queen.

0:06:11 Murph: Okay. I charge forward at the crossbow guys.

0:06:18 Brennan: Awesome. Go ahead and give me a Perception check.

0:06:23 Murph: Can Sprinkle help, or just me?

0:06:24 Brennan: Sprinkle can help.

0:06:27 Murph: Nat 20.

0:06:28 Brennan: You hear the sound of a lot more soldiers coming.

0:06:32 Theobald: My queen, we need to get out of here.

0:06:34 Murph: I just put the brakes on after running at them and start running back the other way.

0:06:40 Brennan: Okay, I'm gonna roll a Wisdom check for our queen. You've explained what's going on, but it's very confusing. (rolls dice) The queen turns and runs after you.

0:06:52 Murph: Great.

0:06:53 Brennan: Cool. You sprint away from these guys, they give chase, firing crossbows. Go ahead and give me a History check.

0:07:05 Murph: Okay. 16.

0:07:12 Brennan: You turn a corner with the queen and there is a secret door that you know about in the castle right next to you, candelabra, lever.

0:07:19 Murph: Sweet, pull it.

0:07:20 Brennan: You and the queen slam into there, and she goes,

0:07:23 Caramelinda: [panting] What is happening?

0:07:26 Theobald: I found Toby in his quarters, murdered, suddenly fighting in the castle, I was attacked by muffin guards. Either Calroy has been betrayed or he betrayed us.

0:07:37 Brennan: You hear a noise from out in the halls going,

0:07:37 Calroy: [singsong] Caramelinda~! I'm afraid your dear husband, or I suppose, seeing that your marriage never truly transpired, the man who made bastards of your daughters, has had an unfortunate fall. Where are you~?

0:08:06 Brennan: Caramelinda looks at you with eyes wide and there is a spiral staircase going down.

0:08:15 Theobald: We shouldn't take the bait, we should go down.

0:08:18 Brennan: She looks. (panting)

0:08:23 Theobald: There's a good chance he's bluffing. We know of all the good qualities of King Amethar, perhaps his greatest is that he's very difficult to kill.

0:08:34 Brennan: [laughs] You race down the spiral staircase. We're gonna go to Ruby. You are racing up invisibly from Dulcington. Invisibility has not broken on you. [somber piano music]

0:08:56 Siobhan: So I feel Jet's life slip away. I would like to turn and run towards the stone circle.

0:09:11 Brennan: You turn and run towards the stone circle. Cumulous, as you are running through the forest back to the castle, I want you to give me a Stealth check with advantage and I want you to give me a Perception check.

0:09:28 Siobhan: I got a 20, not nat.

0:09:30 Brennan: 20 not nat?

0:09:30 Siobhan: I'm also invisible still.

0:09:32 Brennan: Yep.

0:09:32 Zac: 17.

0:09:32 Brennan: 17. Okay, you see Cumulous running past you, Ruby, but he does not see you.

0:09:41 Siobhan: Great.

0:09:43 Brennan: Cool. You get to the stone circle.

0:09:47 Siobhan: I scream,

0:09:47 Ruby: Bring her back! I know you can bring her back. What is the point of having magic if I can't bring her back?! The Sugar-Plum Fairy slowly materializes in front of Ruby.

0:10:04 Ruby: [softly] Please.

0:10:08 Sugar-Plum Fairy: I'm so sorry. This world is a world of loss and cruelty. It is ruled over by the Bulb that shines above and the Hungry One below. I can't bring her back. There might be a way to bring all of you to her. Go north, the secrets of Candia are still strong in the Great Stone Candy Mountains. That's where I am.

0:10:54 Ruby: Okay.

0:10:56 Sugar Plum Fairy: And it's where your sister is waiting. (eerie music)

0:11:01 Brennan: Disappears.

0:11:10 Siobhan: [sighs] Am I, where, sorry, where's the stone circle—

0:11:12 Brennan: The stone circle is actually out past here. So you would have to head—

0:11:18 Siobhan: Okay, then I'll head into the castle.

0:11:21 Brennan: You rush to the castle as fast as you can.

0:11:25 Siobhan: Still sneaking, 'cause clearly some shit is going on.

0:11:29 Brennan: You hear voices behind you. And you see a dull yellow glow of a green mace and a carrot paladin saying,

0:11:38 Keradin: The castle lies ahead. Our mission stands before us, brothers.

0:11:46 Siobhan: Is he alone?

0:11:47 Brennan: Oh, he's got about thirty knights behind him.

0:11:50 Siobhan: Fuck!

0:11:51 Brennan: You make your way back to the castle. Go ahead and give me a Perception check and Yak is flying overhead giving you advantage.

0:12:00 Siobhan: That is two nat 20s.

0:12:02 Ally and Murph: Whoa!

0:12:03 Lou: It is two nat 20s.

0:12:04 Zac: Holy shit.

0:12:04 Lou: Confirmed. [holds up two fingers on each hand, then reconsiders and makes a 2-0 twice]

0:12:06 Ally: What the fuck!

0:12:10 Brennan: I'm gonna say with two nat 20s, you...

0:12:16 Ally: [whispering] What the fuck!

0:12:16 Siobhan: My rolls this season man.

0:12:18 Brennan: You, Cumulous, feel the presence behind you of the Sugar-Plum Fairy briefly returning to the glade. You approach invisibly and as you do so, a wind kicks up and Ruby glows a deep burning red that only you can see. Invisible, that no one else can see anything, but you see a little bit of glow just on the grass from where Ruby has stepped, that fades a moment after her foot leaves. You look down, with those two nat 20s, get to the edge of the chasm that separates the main keep and then the court and, you know, the bailey of Castle Candy. You look down and see your father's body, exactly where it has landed by the parapet. [somber piano music]

0:13:14 Siobhan: Oh my god, I— How can both of—  I run to him.

0:13:19 Brennan: You begin to run. Cumulous, with that two nat 20s you see that as well. And you see Amethar lying at the bottom, his body, you know.

0:13:35 Lou: You know.

0:13:35 Brennan: Astride in the field. You begin to go down, what does Cumulous do?

0:13:43 Zac: I see the red glow, but do I know that it's her?

0:13:47 Brennan: [Shaking his head] Mm-mm.

0:13:50 Zac: I think Cumulous stealths after them. Runs to the king as well.

0:13:56 Brennan: Runs to the king as well? You start running to the king. Liam. You're in a Rope Trick.

0:14:03 Ally: Okay.

0:14:04 Brennan: In a tear-away lingaway— [laughs] In a tear-away lingerie store.

0:14:08 Murph: Tear-away lingerie.

0:14:09 Brennan: Tear-away lingerie. You look through the Rope Trick after Jet's spirit departs, her body is still here, the Locket of the Sweetest Heart around her neck, Flickerish, the Twizzling Blade at her side, the water steel poison finishes its horrible work on her body and she is lifeless. The glow fades from the Rope Trick. You see the Ceresian assassins speaking. Two of them have already fled. Ciabatta holds his side, the other assassin says,

0:14:49 Ceresian Assassin: Imperator, are you all right?

0:14:52 Brennan: You see he goes,

0:14:52 Ciabatta: Something in the darkness I could not see attacked.

0:14:57 Ceresian assassin: Imperator, our eyes, they have been treated with Alfredi's—

0:15:00 Ciabatta: I know. Something darker than darkness. That little witch boy is out there somewhere. Or perhaps more of Alfredi's tricks.

0:15:13 Brennan: You see the guy nods and Ciabatta shakes it off and says,

0:15:17 Ciabatta: Well, Alfredi's tricks stopped at the end of that hangman's noose. We don't have her to worry about anymore. But I will say, it's a shame we don't have any more of these water steel daggers. Should've gotten that secret from her before she died.

0:15:37 Brennan: And you see he leaves here. You guys, or rather, Liam, you watch them leave this place. And you are alone in the Rope Trick.

0:15:54 Ally: Okay. I pop out of the Rope Trick, we drop down. Can I investigate that glow?

0:16:02 Brennan: Yeah.

0:16:04 Ally: I think I have advantage from—

0:16:07 Brennan: I don't think it's advantage, you can just roll Investigation.

0:16:12 Ally: That's a 9?

0:16:13 Siobhan: Do you have Detect Traps and Snares?

0:16:16 Ally: No.

0:16:17 Brennan: You open it, and there is a little alchemically treated rock that creates a glow.

0:16:29 Ally: Okay. I take Jet's body.

0:16:35 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

0:16:36 Ally: And I like, ceremonially wrap it in tear-away lingerie, almost like I'm embalming it, [everyone is laughing] and I climb down from up there to a different corner of the lingerie store and I open up a cabinet and I place her in there and I take the Swizzling- I take the blade, I take the locket, I take everything like hardware that Ruby may want and put it in my pack.

0:17:14 Brennan: Okay.

0:17:15 Ally: And I leave her body in there.

0:17:17 Brennan: Yeah.

0:17:18 Ally: And I take off stealthily into the night.

0:17:24 Brennan: [whistles] Give me a Stealth check.

0:17:25 Ally: Advantage? 'Cause I have—

0:17:28 Brennan: Oh, 'cause you're invisible in the darkness? Yeah, sure, go ahead and roll with advantage.

0:17:32 Ally: Yeah. It's like 22. 21.

0:17:35 Brennan: Cool, and go ahead and give me either, you can give me a Survival or Investigation check.

0:17:43 Ally: Okay.

0:17:45 Brennan: Actually, roll this with advantage too, 'cause you've got the locket.

0:17:46 Ally: Okay, 16.

0:17:52 Brennan: You hold the locket and follow it to Ruby and you can't see her, but the shadows wrap around you. This little peppermint ranger, move quickly through town. It is now about 4:30, five o'clock in the morning. You see Ruby heading down into the crevasse. Cumulous, you head down there, all of you head down there. Amethar, you are crawling out of the crater and just manage to stand when you see a pair of dull red glowing footsteps approach across purple candy.

0:18:32 Ruby: [crying] Pops, it's me. I think Jet's dead!

0:18:34 Amethar: I know.

0:18:36 Ruby: What are we gonna do?

0:18:36 Lou: And I kneel down and give her the warmest, softest, most comforting hug I can imagine.

0:18:45 Ruby: I'm gonna fucking kill them. I'm gonna fucking kill all of them. I'm gonna fucking kill their children. I'm gonna come for them, and I will bury their houses in the sea.

0:18:54 Liam: Thanks for including me, guys.

0:18:56 Amethar: Oh!

0:18:56 Ruby: Liam!

0:18:57 Liam: Hey, oh, I thought you knew I was here, sorry.

0:19:02 Amethar: No, it's just, come here. Three-way hug.

0:19:07 Siobhan: Two invisible people hugging.

0:19:10 Lou: I look them both in their eyes and say,

0:19:15 Amethar: Vengeance is only worth it if we kill them.

0:19:19 Liam: Who all’s is here?

0:19:22 Amethar: Cruller.

0:19:23 Ruby: Cruller?

0:19:25 Amethar: [shaky] He's part of it.

0:19:27 Ruby: He's your best friend.

0:19:28 Amethar: We don't have time to get into that. We need to get out of here. We need to find Theobald. We need to find Cumulous.

0:19:36 Cumulous: I've been standing here for quite a while.

0:19:38 Liam: Whoa! (cast laughing)

0:19:40 Liam: Whoa!

0:19:41 Cumulous: I wanted to let you have your moment.

0:19:44 Amethar: Thank you.

0:19:44 Ruby: Thank you.

0:19:45 Liam: Here, Ruby. I hid Jet's body.

0:19:48 Ruby: Thank you.

0:19:51 Liam: Because I couldn't run fast enough with it, but we can definitely do something. I did what I could with eight or nine pairs of tear-away lingerie.

0:20:01 Ruby: She would've loved that. Oh no.

0:20:03 Liam: Here's her blade and here's the other half of your twin necklace. Those are the only two things I thought to bring you right off the bat.

0:20:13 Ruby: You should keep the neck- Jet would want you to keep--

0:20:21 Liam: What?

0:20:21 Ruby: The locket… I can't do anything without- It needs another, it doesn't...

0:20:28 Liam: Okay, I've been wanting to accessorize for a long time.

0:20:31 Ruby: I think it'll look cool on you. You can be a necklace guy.

0:20:34 Ally: I put it on, it's like a choker.

0:20:35 Ruby: You look cool.

0:20:35 Liam: Yeah?

0:20:37 Ruby: Yeah. You can maybe wear it as a bracelet.

0:20:40 Liam: I kinda like this.

0:20:40 Ruby: Okay. Whatever you want, however you feel.

0:20:43 Liam: I just kinda like this, actually.

0:20:44 Ruby: Yeah, yeah.

0:20:45 Brennan: A door opens in the side of the wall. (handing Siobhan a card) Siobhan, this is Flickerish, the Twizzling Blade.

0:20:50 Siobhan: Okay. (Ally whistles)

0:20:51 Brennan: (handing Ally a card) This is Locket of the Sweetest Heart.

0:20:55 Ally: This doesn't feel good. (Brennan laughs)

0:20:57 Murph: Emotionally brutal.

0:20:59 Siobhan: Truly.

0:21:00 Brennan: Getting handed cards has never— It’s painful.

0:21:01 Murph: Yeah, the mechanics of this is—

0:21:04 Brennan: A door opens in the side of the chasm, a secret door, and you see Caramelinda and Theo step out of the doorway.

0:21:14 Ally: I need a— Can I immediate Perception check on Caramelinda?

0:21:19 Brennan: Do you wanna do Insight or Perception?

0:21:23 Ally: Perception.

0:21:24 Brennan: Do Perception.

0:21:27 Ally: Oh, sorry.

0:21:28 Siobhan: I would like to do an Insight check on her.

0:21:29 Brennan: Go for it.

0:21:29 Siobhan: May I use Yak?

0:21:31 Brennan: Yeah.

0:21:31 Siobhan: Great. I got a 22.

0:21:36 Ally: Just a 7.

0:21:38 Siobhan: 23.

0:21:39 Brennan: You look at your mother and see a horrified woman. You see your mom.

0:21:48 Ruby: Mom, Jet's dead. I'm sorry, I think it's my fault.

0:21:52 Caramelinda: What?

0:21:53 Ruby: I think it's my fault Jet's dead.

0:21:55 Caramelinda: What do you mean she's dead?

0:21:56 Ruby: Jet's dead. It was an ambush, we got trapped and there were- They stabbed us, and I—

0:22:02 Liam: It was Ciabatta. It was Ciabatta and three other bread people.

0:22:08 Caramelinda: Well, where is she?

0:22:10 Liam: We went to find something that someone promised to you.

0:22:14 Caramelinda: What?

0:22:15 Liam: The tear-away lingerie lady that you know so well had something for you.

0:22:18 Caramelinda: I don't know what tear-away lingerie—

0:22:20 Liam: Your best friend who gives you—

0:22:22 Caramelinda: I don't know a tear-away lingerie lady!

0:22:24 Liam: She gives you all your tear-away lingerie!

0:22:26 Caramelinda: My lingerie is thick!

0:22:26 Amethar: We have to stop screaming.

0:22:30 Brennan: You hear noises up in the castle above.

0:22:32 Ally: I rip off my lingerie.

0:22:35 Brennan: You see that Caramelinda looks and says,

0:22:35 Caramelinda: Theo, where—

0:22:40 Ruby: They're here, I saw the carrot paladin, I saw him, he had 20 or 30 men with him and, and—

0:22:50 Theobald: How many men do we have? How many men and women--

0:22:52 Cumulous: How many people were loyal to Cal, how many people were not?

0:22:55 Brennan: Caramelinda looks and says,

0:22:55 Caramelinda: We sent the vast majority of the Tartguard and the armies of the House of Rocks north to help Jawbreaker. Cal said that if Jawbreaker fell, that would be it, so he advised that we send as many of—

0:23:13 Ruby: Oh, god!

0:23:14 Cumulous: So the soldiers here are loyal to Cal.

0:23:18 Caramelinda: Well, there weren't soldiers, we were a skeleton guard for a time, but Cal was kind enough to, he, no—

0:23:24 Cumulous: We have to leave.

0:23:24 Ruby: Oh god, we have to leave.

0:23:25 Lou: Is Manta Ray Jack still in the harbor? Or would I—

0:23:28 Brennan: He said he was gonna be here all night, he said he wasn't gonna leave without you guys.

0:23:30 Siobhan: Great.

0:23:31 Amethar: We have to make it to the harbor.

0:23:33 Liam: I have to go track that paladin.

0:23:34 Amethar: Not today, Liam. Liam?

0:23:37 Ruby: Please Liam, I can't lose another, please!

0:23:39 Amethar: Do you wanna kill him, or do you wanna die fighting?

0:23:43 Liam: [quietly] I wanna kill him.

0:23:45 Amethar: Not today.

0:23:45 Theobald: That'll come another time. Where... is the princess's body?

0:23:55 Liam: Hidden away in that place in—

0:23:58 Brennan: Dulcington.

0:23:58 Liam: In Dulcington. I wrapped her and I put her in a place that no one would find her and we can go get her if you want.

0:24:05 Brennan: You guys begin to hear horns in the castle above and see torches being lit, and you hear the barking. (imitating barking)

0:24:12 Amethar: We need to go now, we can stop by there on the way. Come on.

0:24:16 Lou: And I take off, stealthily, toward Dulcington.

0:24:21 Siobhan: I, as we go, would like to cast Prestidigitation to put weird smells in our path, like anise that the dogs will be attracted to, that they won't be attracted to us.

0:24:36 Brennan: Hell yeah, that's a free disadvantage on their track checks.

0:24:39 Siobhan: Great.

0:24:41 Brennan: You guys go. I'm going to say something right now. Ruby and Amethar are both mortally, mortally injured. You guys know that time is of the essence and that already the search has begun for you, but you also know that if you do not tend to these wounds, the possibility of death will be much higher. So you are very hidden right now, and in fact, through the secret door, you know there's another staircase under the castle that goes to another exit outside of the castle walls, so you don't have to crawl all the way back up this chasm.

0:25:24 Murph: Okay.

0:25:26 Brennan: So I will say right now that you have a decision to make about whether to tend to these wounds as best you can and risk the situation worsening dramatically, or taking your chances while both of you are on death's door.

0:25:43 Siobhan: Can I use my Mage Hand to hold my guts in? (Brennan laughs)

0:25:48 Amethar: Theobald.

0:25:48 Theobald: Yeah?

0:25:49 Amethar: Do you think we wait an hour?

0:25:51 Theobald: I think we need to go. Ruby, I could potentially carry you, if you can hold your wound.

0:25:59 Amethar: I mean, I am 100% about leaving instantly. But if we get in a scrap, it's the three of you in the front and the three of us in the back. Is that--

0:26:18 Theobald: I will get the rest of you out of here.

0:26:22 Siobhan: Does my m-

0:26:24 Brennan: Caramelinda looks just, she goes,

0:26:28 Caramelinda: Ciabatta, the Imperator is here?

0:26:30 Liam: Mm-hmm.

0:26:33 Ruby: I'm guessing he's the Imperator, right?

0:26:37 Zac: Would I recognize the tents as anything other than--

0:26:41 Brennan: Ceresian and Vegetanian.

0:26:43 Zac: Which is what is attacking us.

0:26:44 Murph: Yep.

0:26:45 Amethar: Let's go.

0:26:45 Theobald: Let’s go-

0:26:47 Brennan: You guys head off. I'm gonna need everybody here to roll initiative.

0:26:52 Murph: [rolls] Goddamn it!

0:26:57 Siobhan: Nice, okay.

0:27:02 Brennan: Who got above a 20?

0:27:03 Ally: Me.

0:27:03 Siobhan: I got a 22.

0:27:04 Brennan: 22.

0:27:04 Lou: 20.

0:27:06 Brennan: 20, and what did Liam get?

0:27:09 Ally: I'm sorry. And then I add… I got a 22.

0:27:16 Brennan: Both of you got 22, 20. Between Liam and Ruby, who wants to go first?

0:27:21 Siobhan: Why don't you go first, you should go first.

0:27:24 Brennan: So we'll do Liam--

0:27:26 Siobhan: We keep on rolling the same.

0:27:26 Ally: Yeah. That's funny.

0:27:29 Brennan: Ruby. And then what did Cumulous and Theo get?

0:27:31 Murph: 3.

0:27:34 Zac: 12.

0:27:37 Lou: What'd you get, Theo?

0:27:37 Murph: What?

0:27:39 Lou: What'd you roll?

0:27:39 Murph: A 3. I have a +0 to Dex.

0:27:52 Brennan: Caramelinda is going to act on Amethar's turn.

0:27:55 Siobhan: Can Caramelinda fight? Does she—

0:27:58 Brennan: You saw her cast magic earlier. You saw her do that caramel thing—

0:28:01 Siobhan: Right, yeah. Okay. Man, everybody was so cool and they never let us know.

0:28:10 Brennan: Okay. This is going to be a very different battle.

0:28:18 Zac: Brennan just punches me in the face. (cast laughing)

0:28:20 Lou: Let's go!

0:28:21 Siobhan: Oh shit!

0:28:22 Ally: This is gonna be a very different battle. [mimes punching]

0:28:24 Murph: Can I use my reaction to-

0:28:24 Siobhan: [indistinct] He’s been getting buff.

0:28:25 Zac: Stop!

0:28:28 Lou: The dome opens up, and there's like 10 dudes all dressed like the Pillsbury Doughman.

0:28:33 Brennan: Okay.

0:28:33 Zac: A big-ass carrot.

0:28:36 Murph: Oh no. Brennan gets out some extremely tiny minis of the party to compensate for the very big map size.

0:28:36 Siobhan: Oh my god, we're so tiny!

0:28:38 Brennan: Cumulous.

0:28:38 Lou: Oh, god.

0:28:40 Siobhan: [sadly] Oh, there's a Jet one.

0:28:41 Lou: You know, why do you make me mad at you before you do cool stuff?

0:28:45 Brennan: That's Cumulous, this one is I believe Amethar?

0:28:48 Lou: Yeah, that's me.

0:28:49 Brennan: That's Amethar. They're very itty bitty.

0:28:50 Ally: Wow.

0:28:55 Brennan: This is Theobald.

0:28:58 Lou: Oh, my fucking heart.

0:29:01 Brennan: This is Liam. [Lou sighs heavily]

0:29:04 Brennan: This is Ruby. And I'm gonna go get Caramelinda right now.

0:29:10 Siobhan: May I have Jet to fight alongside me? As a good luck charm.

0:29:15 Brennan: We will have Jet, here is tiny little Jet.

0:29:18 Siobhan: Thank you.

0:29:18 Ally: Aww.

0:29:20 Siobhan: Oh, she's so cool. Look at how tiny she is.

0:29:28 Brennan: Wonderful.

0:29:28 Zac: Damn, those are small.

0:29:30 Murph: Where's our cheese boy? Where's our cheese bud?

0:29:35 Brennan: Your cheese bud is in Dulcington, in the harbor, right here. You all come out of a doorway, this doorway right here, that is off the other side of the table. You crawl up through the rocks and we are going to start here. I'm gonna very quickly look up.

0:29:53 Siobhan: Has it been an hour since I cast Invisibility?

0:29:58 Brennan: Has it been an hour since you cast Invisibility. Go ahead and roll 6d10 for me.

0:30:12 Siobhan: I need just one more.

0:30:12 Murph: You need more d10?

0:30:22 Lou: [whispering to Zac] What's happening? Why is she rolling these d10?

0:30:25 Siobhan: 10, 20, 31, 35.

0:30:25 Zac: [whispering in response] They're minutes.

0:30:25 Lou: [softly] Oh, minutes. You're a smart boy.

0:30:33 Brennan: 35? You have 25 minutes of Invisibility left.

0:30:36 Siobhan: Okay, great.

0:30:39 Brennan: Which should be all you need. You all arrive, and this is gonna be Caramelinda right here, who's next to Amethar. So, you guys arrive here, this is gonna be a very different type of battle. You're trying to get to the ship in the harbor. Not only trying to get the ship in the harbor, but those sailors are probably at this point fast asleep, so getting there is not enough, it's getting there with enough time to rouse the crew and set sail. You look in the castle and see torches being lit, and the banners of House Rocks being cut, and the banners of House Cruller beginning to unfurl on the parapets of Castle Candy. That is going to be- So what's gonna happen is, you guys tell me what it is you're trying to do, this is going to be a mixture of battle and roleplay, because we're at a whole different mini scale and there's a lot of stuff that can happen.

0:31:36 Siobhan: Are these tents in front of us empty, or are there people there?

0:31:38 Brennan: No, you, in fact, can't- Actually, make a Perception check.

0:31:43 Siobhan: Nat 20.

0:31:45 Brennan: You hear soldiers rousing in the tents.

0:31:49 Ruby: There's people in the tents.

0:31:51 Theobald: Should we just run past them?

0:31:53 Amethar: Do we wait?

0:31:58 Cumulous: Do you hear anything about how many there are?

0:32:02 Amethar: Could you do—

0:32:03 Siobhan: Yeah, can I, with a nat 20?

0:32:05 Brennan: Oh, on a nat 20, there's, in those tents, probably two dozen, and then some more maybe in the church.

0:32:12 Siobhan: Okay.

0:32:15 Murph: Is there- What is down—

0:32:15 Zac: This is like a rocky side down here.

0:32:18 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

0:32:20 Siobhan: And Liam can see—

0:32:22 Brennan: And anyone can give me a Nature or Survival check for information about the surrounding area.

0:32:27 Siobhan: Right, we know this area.

0:32:30 Ally: 20.

0:32:30 Brennan: 20?

0:32:31 Zac: Nat 20.

0:32:31 Brennan: Nat 20? Cumulous, you look around and put your senses deep into the earth for a moment. There are even more bivouacked tents. So this is all mountains up behind you that you'd have to scale and could potentially be- Like mountain climbing at night is not a very wise proposition. The road is obviously gonna be watched and there are more Cruller infantry bivouacked out there past Dulcington. The river flows back out to sea that way, and while there's more stuff, well, downstream will take you past Cruller, upstream gets really quickly into- Wraps around back to the north and gets into the Great Stone Candy Mountains. It's possible to sail up that river quite a ways, and especially if Manta Ray's people are rowing, you can clear a lot of distance past the road, and do it much faster, and more importantly, in a way that you can't be tracked.

0:33:43 Murph: Okay.

0:33:45 Zac: We won't be tracked if we did what? Sorry.

0:33:48 Brennan: If you take the river, it's impossible to track you. If you go into the woods, you hear the barking of hot hounds.

0:33:53 Murph: Right. So that'll help us with our escape, but first we need to get to the docks, so right now we don't have a plan to get to the docks.

0:34:01 Theobald: Ruby.

0:34:01 Ruby: Yes.

0:34:04 Theobald: Do you perhaps want to work some of your magic? People have in the past mistaken you for gods when you spoke in their mind, maybe I can help you and together we can convince whoever the leader is around here, somebody who looks like a senior officer, that the Bulb or Keradin Deeproot commands them to charge in, because there's guards.

0:34:23 Amethar: Yeah, yeah.

0:34:23 Theobald: Let's do that.

0:34:24 Ruby: Charge into the castle?

0:34:24 Zac: Do you have Pass Without Trace?

0:34:26 Ally: No.

0:34:27 Theobald: And hopefully they'll charge out of the tents and we can run past them.

0:34:31 Brennan: I will say also, something to bear in mind right now is that light sources, the brightest light sources only go about one and a half of these. So right now, you guys are just outside the torchlight from this camp, and just outside- The castle can only see about an inch and a half.

0:34:51 Murph: And are there tents all in here?

0:34:52 Brennan: You can't, well actually, who got a nat 20? (points at Zac) You did?

0:34:55 Siobhan: I did. Oh, he did.

0:34:56 Brennan: Oh yeah. Yeah, there is nothing here, this is wide open field.

0:34:59 Zac: Okay, so we just go--

0:34:59 Murph: Why don't we just go?

0:35:01 Siobhan: Yeah.

0:35:02 Murph: Let's just start creeping.

0:35:03 Ally: I'll just say also, I have Natural Explorer, so even when I'm engaged in another activity while traveling, I remain alert to danger.

0:35:10 Brennan: Okay, is there a rule about you and your party moving stealthily and it not reducing your speed? Can we look that up?

0:35:16 Ally: Yeah. Difficult terrain does not slow your group's travel, your group can't become lost except by magical means, and then I remain alert to danger.

0:35:24 Brennan: Let me just see that real briefly, I wanna just see this.

0:35:26 Ruby: Liam, you rule.

0:35:26 Theobald: Yeah, Liam.

0:35:28 Amethar: Also, Theobald, great plan.

0:35:30 Liam: Yeah.

0:35:30 Theobald: Oh, thanks. We might not have to use it.

0:35:32 Brennan: If you are traveling alone, you can move stealthily at a normal pace, so you guys, to move stealthily as a group, will need to--

0:35:36 Siobhan: Okay. That's fine.

0:35:42 Lou: I mean, I think we like, swing around, that feels good.

0:35:46 Zac: Yeah.

0:35:47 Siobhan: Can I use my Mage Hand on Theo's armor, to make it clank less?

0:35:54 Ally: Oh, yeah, yeah. (Murph laughing)

0:35:55 Brennan: Can you use what?

0:35:57 Siobhan: My Mage Hand on Theo's armor to make it clank less?

0:35:59 Brennan: I'm gonna need a higher level spell to make his armor clank less.

0:36:04 Siobhan: Hmm. First level?

0:36:06 Brennan: A first level spell, what kinda spell do you wanna use?

0:36:09 Siobhan: Oh, you don't wanna, I can't just use Mage Hand as a first level spell?

0:36:15 Brennan: If you use Mage Hand as a first level spell, I will let you take the disadvantage away from him for a number of rounds equal to your level.

0:36:27 Murph: Okay.

0:36:27 Brennan: How does that sound?

0:36:29 Siobhan: Seven rounds?

0:36:29 Murph: Sweet. That's great.

0:36:30 Brennan: Seven rounds.

0:36:31 Ally: So do you guys think that maybe I should travel ahead, because--

0:36:33 Murph: Yeah.

0:36:35 Lou: I don't hate that.

0:36:36 Murph: Yeah, why don't you take--

0:36:37 Zac: You're like the scout position.

0:36:38 Ally: Yeah.

0:36:40 Murph: You know what, Ruby and I can keep a Message open with you and we'll cast Message, you go ahead, you respond, we keep going.

0:36:50 Ally: Yeah, I'm just a little bit ahead. Honestly, I'm just in the front of the pack, is what I mean.

0:36:52 Zac: I’m like a little behind you.

0:36:54 Murph: Right, so we'll just stay back.

0:36:55 Lou: Let’s do it.

0:36:56 Ally: Cool, let's do it.

0:36:58 Murph: Okay, so--

0:36:58 Ally: Let's make our move.

0:36:59 Murph: Liam's gonna stealth ahead.

0:37:01 Ally: What is Caramelinda capable of? What are we--

0:37:04 Brennan: She's a spellcaster. She's just looking at Amethar.

0:37:09 Ally: Does she have any heals or anything that she can help--

0:37:10 Brennan: She doesn't have any heals.

0:37:13 Ally: -like a Medicine check or something.

0:37:15 Brennan: Okay. You guys are gonna begin sneaking. All that needs to happen right now, the passive Perception you guys are trying to beat right now is 16, and it's a group check.

0:37:32 Murph: Okay.

0:37:34 Brennan: Something I will also say is that Liam obviously is gonna have a way easier time doing that on his own, but it will also deprive the group of the ability to use his  rolls, does that make sense? 'cause we need you five and Caramelinda to as a group have half of you beat a 16 or higher on a Stealth check.

0:37:54 Ally: Mm-hmm.

0:37:54 Siobhan: Okay. How is Caramelinda's Stealth? How stealthy is she?

0:38:01 Brennan: She's pretty stealthy. She can be.

0:38:02 Zac: I have plus 5.

0:38:04 Siobhan: Yeah, I have plus 7 to Stealth.

0:38:06 Ally: Plus 4.

0:38:07 Lou: Plus 3.

0:38:08 Brennan: You have more than plus 4 to Stealth, homie. [takes Ally’s character sheet]

0:38:11 Zac: Oh, could I just like make a Medicine check?

0:38:14 Brennan: Oh, did you take, no, but I thought- Didn't you take expertise in Stealth?

0:38:18 Ally: I thought so, yeah.

0:38:19 Brennan: Proficiency, yeah- Hold on a second, this is wrong. That should've been updated, my apologies.

0:38:27 Ally: No problem.

0:38:28 Brennan: You have a plus 10 to Stealth.

0:38:30 Ally: Great.

0:38:31 Lou: There you go, homeboy.

0:38:32 Siobhan: There we go.

0:38:33 Ally: There we go.

0:38:33 Siobhan: That's right. That's better.

0:38:35 Ally: That feels cool.

0:38:37 Brennan: There you go.

0:38:37 Ally: Thank you.

0:38:41 Brennan: So is Liam gonna go ahead, or is he gonna stay with you guys?

0:38:44 Ally: I'm staying with the group, yeah. I'm just in the front of the group I think, yeah. I'm like a few steps ahead.

0:38:49 Brennan: All right, we're gonna make some rolls now. We'll do the seven rounds that you're working. You're still invisible, so you're going to roll with advantage, so you're gonna roll with advantage, no one else is rolling with advantage.

0:39:03 Siobhan: Can I use Yak to give my dad advantage?

0:39:07 Brennan: Yeah, you can do that.

0:39:08 Murph: Can Sprinkle help me?

0:39:09 Brennan: Yes, that is all okay.

0:39:11 Murph: Oh boy.

0:39:13 Zac: Can I do- Who has the most Stealth? Because maybe I should just do it if- Because we just have to have half of us pass.

0:39:19 Siobhan: Yeah, I just failed, I got a 14. Yeah, okay, I'll give Yak to Zac.

0:39:25 Zac: Just because one of us has to get it.

0:39:27 Lou: Yeah, take it.

0:39:28 Zac: Yeah, yeah, cool.

0:39:31 Murph: Oh, hell yeah, I got a 16. Passed.

0:39:33 Zac: Yes, I got it.

0:39:34 Brennan: Okay. Caramelinda failed.

0:39:35 Siobhan: I failed. I got a 14.

0:39:37 Brennan: That's two failures. Did Amethar fail?

0:39:39 Lou: 9 plus 3 is only 12, I failed.

0:39:40 Ally: 15.

0:39:42 Zac: I passed.

0:39:42 Brennan: Passed, passed, what'd you roll?

0:39:43 Ally: 15.

0:39:45 Brennan: All right, that's a failure. As you begin to move, you guys begin to hear (imitates barking) behind you.

0:39:51 Siobhan: Fuck.

0:39:52 Theobald: Let's use that Message plan.

0:39:54 Ruby: Yeah.

0:39:54 Lou: Brilliant.

0:39:55 Murph: I'm gonna help Ruby, and we're going to try to- You have better Persuasion than me, so I'll leave it to you.

0:40:07 Ally: Wait, were the dogs from the castle or they're from the camp?

0:40:10 Brennan: You hear dogs, hounds coming--

0:40:12 Murph: Just dogs?

0:40:13 Brennan: You just hear hounds.

0:40:15 Theobald: That might not work!

0:40:15 Siobhan: Oh shit!

0:40:16 Zac: I might run after the dogs.

0:40:19 Lou: You mean run back to fight--

0:40:22 Zac: Run back to fight the dogs.

0:40:23 Lou: Just you?

0:40:24 Zac: Yeah. I'm gonna do that.

0:40:26 Ally: Okay, we take off running.

0:40:28 Lou: Yeah, can we start--

0:40:28 Zac: Keep going.

0:40:29 Brennan: Do you guys wanna keep moving stealthily, or do you wanna start running?

0:40:32 Ally: Keep moving, fuck you're right.

0:40:34 Lou: I mean-

0:40:36 Ally: We have so much ground to cover, I say let's keep moving stealthily.

0:40:39 Murph: Yeah, let's do it.

0:40:39 Brennan: Cool.

0:40:40 Murph: We're gonna keep moving stealthily.

0:40:42 Brennan: Cumulous, you move one back. I'm gonna need another set of Stealth rolls from all of you.

0:40:50 Lou: Can I have that advantage from Yak now?

0:40:52 Siobhan: Yes. I got a 19.

0:40:53 Murph: 11.

0:40:55 Zac: (pointing at Lou’s die) Nat 20.

0:40:55 Lou: Nat 20.

0:40:57 Ally: 23.

0:40:59 Brennan: Nat 20, 23, and what did you get?

0:41:02 Siobhan: I got a 19.

0:41:03 Brennan: Okay. You guys continue to move. Running straight through the darkness, in between the torchlight, just down, (panting). That's your second round of not having disadvantage because of full plate. Cumulous, you run back. Give me a pure luck check, up or down, one through 10 on a d20 is bad.

0:41:14 Zac: 3.

0:41:25 Brennan: 3, okay.

0:41:28 Siobhan: Fuck! (Murph sighs)

0:41:31 Brennan: Okay.

0:41:33 Theobald: Cumulous. You brave piece of cotton candy.

0:41:37 Brennan: Okay. (Brennan sighing)

0:41:40 Murph: Oh, tiny dogs.

0:41:41 Ally: Cute.

0:41:42 Brennan: You see bun-covered hot dogs, these are hot hounds, rush up towards you. I'm gonna roll initiative for them. What was your initiative again, remind me?

0:41:55 Zac: Oh, from a while ago?

0:41:55 Brennan: From a while ago.

0:41:57 Zac: 12.

0:41:57 Brennan: 12, okay. Cool. Cumulous, you are surrounded on all sides by hot hounds.

0:42:05 Zac: I'm gonna use Hour of Reaping to unsettle my targets and they have to succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened by me until the end of my next turn.

0:42:16 Brennan: Okay.

0:42:19 Siobhan: How wise are these dogs?

0:42:21 Brennan: Not very wise. [whispering] Cumulous, okay.

0:42:28 Zac: And that means they would have to move away from me.

0:42:30 Brennan: Is that what it says?

0:42:32 Zac: Frightened condition is they have to spend their movement--

0:42:35 Brennan: Frightened condition is, they do not have to move away, they get disadvantage on attacking you.

0:42:37 Zac: I thought they--

0:42:38 Siobhan: I think frightening, you have to run away--

0:42:40 Murph: Or they get disadvantage, I think they have to use their turn to move as far away from you, and if they don't, they get disadvantage on whatever they do.

0:42:46 Brennan: Okay.

0:42:47 Murph: I thought that was what it was, but we can double-check.

0:42:48 Brennan: We will look this up right now.

0:42:50 Zac: 'Cause this only says frightened, so I don't have the info on--

0:42:53 Brennan: So the frightened condition alone, unless it makes them run, they just have disadvantage on ability checks and attack rolls while the source of its fears is within line of sight. The creature can't willingly move closer to the source of its fear.

0:43:02 Zac: Okay.

0:43:02 Murph: Got it.

0:43:03 Brennan: One of them is successfully frightened, the other three are going to attack you.

0:43:07 Zac: Okay.

0:43:07 Murph: Whoa.

0:43:08 Zac: Oh, as a bonus action, can I use, what's it called? Patient Defense, to give myself the dodge action?

0:43:16 Brennan: You're gonna use a ki point to do Patient Defense? Yes, you can. That's a miss, and there's two more. Both misses as well. You hold them at bay. Go ahead and make a Stealth check as you're fighting them.

0:43:32 Zac: That is a 20.

0:43:33 Brennan: You manage to fight silently enough that no one is alerted to your presence.

0:43:37 Zac: Am I still fighting them?

0:43:38 Brennan: You are, but now we're gonna do another turn for the people that are stealthing. Go ahead and give me another Stealth check.

0:43:47 Murph: Fail. 9.

0:43:48 Siobhan: Pass.

0:43:49 Ally: Pass, 27.

0:43:51 Siobhan: 23.

0:43:53 Lou: 17.

0:43:54 Murph: Thanks, guys. (Brennan sighs)

0:43:56 Brennan: Caramelinda and Theo do not pass, the rest pass.

0:43:59 Lou: That's more than half though.

0:43:59 Brennan: That's more than half.

0:44:01 Siobhan: I rolled nat 1s on my lower roll for both of these.

0:44:06 Brennan: Which path are you headed, are you headed for this--

0:44:09 Ally: No, no, the most direct to get there.

0:44:12 Murph: We will cross through the river, if need be, like whatever we gotta do.

0:44:14 Siobhan: Yeah, maybe that's even better, we should not cross the bridge. Doesn’t look particularly—

0:44:17 Ally: Just go straight to the port, whatever is most direct.

0:44:21 Brennan: Straight to port? Okay.

0:44:23 Ally: Where's the port?

0:44:24 Siobhan: Yeah, it's here, so maybe we should even come down this way.

0:44:26 Ally: We would even go there, yeah.

0:44:27 Lou: No, but the river flows this way, so I think fording the river on this side is tough, I think that like, threading that needle right there.

0:44:32 Siobhan: Where precisely is the boat? Can you, so this is the boat?

0:44:37 Brennan: Yeah, that's the boat right there.

0:44:38 Lou: But both bridges have- It looks like there’s some-

0:44:40 Siobhan: And how far away is this from here?

0:44:43 Brennan: Quite far, probably like, if you're moving stealthily, a couple rounds of movement.

0:44:46 Murph: I mean, if we get to the water, it'll probably be easier for us to—

0:44:49 Siobhan: But is it less than 120 feet, is what I'm asking?

0:44:51 Murph: Maybe not be in full plate, but—

0:44:52 Brennan: Each of these is 25 feet.

0:44:56 Ally: Can I do, while we're—

0:44:56 Siobhan: Yes, that's less than 120.

0:45:00 Brennan: Yeah.

0:45:01 Siobhan: Yeah, 'cause that's one, two, three, four, oh, that's like--

0:45:02 Brennan: Many rounds of movement.

0:45:06 Siobhan: Yeah, but if we get to here, that's less than 120 feet from there.

0:45:10 Brennan: That's true, yeah.

0:45:12 Siobhan: Okay.

0:45:12 Ally: We don’t have Jump or anything, right?

0:45:12 Siobhan: So that's the distance of Message. So we could at least like, avoid these bridges, because--

0:45:20 Brennan: Cumulous, that's gonna be you.

0:45:22 Zac: Okay, I am going to take a Stunning Strike on the frightened dog.

0:45:29 Brennan: Okay. You have advantage on this.

0:45:31 Zac: I do, oh, 'cause he's, okay. What's that? Oh, that's a 9. 18?

0:45:40 Brennan: 18 hits.

0:45:41 Zac: Okay. So that would be 1d8. So should I just roll my second attack as well?

0:45:47 Brennan: Roll your damage for your first one first.

0:45:54 Zac: That is 12.

0:45:56 Brennan: You kill this hound with the crack of your staff. Crack!

0:45:59 Zac: And I'm gonna take my second attack on just the nearest dog.

0:46:03 Brennan: Yeah, don't roll advantage yet, just roll straight attack.

0:46:08 Zac: That is 25.

0:46:09 Brennan: That hits. Go ahead and roll damage.

0:46:13 Zac: 12 again.

0:46:14 Brennan: Kills it. (imitates canine yelp)

0:46:17 Zac: And then I'm going to Flurry.

0:46:17 Siobhan: Fuck him up.

0:46:17 Murph: Kill the dog dude.

0:46:19 Brennan: What's that?

0:46:19 Zac: Flurry.

0:46:21 Brennan: Flurry, yep.

0:46:21 Zac: Two attacks. 19, so that first one hits.

0:46:23 Murph: Nice!

0:46:26 Zac: And then I'll roll the second one as well. 14?

0:46:32 Brennan: 14 hits.

0:46:32 Zac: Okay. So this is 1d6 plus 5.

0:46:35 Murph: Cumulous is just made for this.

0:46:37 Zac: First one's 6.

0:46:38 Brennan: Okay, it doesn't go down.

0:46:39 Zac: And then I'm hitting it again. For 9 more.

0:46:45 Brennan: In a flurry, (grunting), you take out all of these.

0:46:50 Lou: Wow!

0:46:51 Brennan: Or all but one, yeah, three of the four hounds.

0:46:54 Lou: Still.

0:46:54 Brennan: Are taken out. I'm going to need a Stealth check to not alert anyone else, the DC is 16.

0:46:59 Murph: Come on!

0:47:03 Zac: 15.

0:47:03 Siobhan: Fuck.

0:47:05 Brennan: One of the dogs, (imitates canine yelp), yelps, and you hear a voice in the tent say,

0:47:11 Soldier: Something out there's hurting the dogs.

0:47:14 Brennan: That is going to go back to the-

0:47:17 Ally: Do we have Message open with him?

0:47:19 Zac: Might be too far away, but-

0:47:20 Siobhan: It's about far enough, you know, that's less than—

0:47:24 Brennan: 9 plus… That is not enough to hit Cumulous.

0:47:33 Zac: What- Is it the dog?

0:47:33 Brennan: The dog, yeah. Misses you, another round of Stealth from everybody.

0:47:38 Lou: Okay.

0:47:42 Murph: Yes, 16!

0:47:42 Siobhan: Yeah, passed.

0:47:43 Murph: Passed.

0:47:44 Siobhan: 25.

0:47:44 Murph: Nice.

0:47:46 Ally: 21.

0:47:47 Lou: Thank god, I failed. 12.

0:47:51 Brennan: Okay.

0:47:52 Murph: Thank god for Sprinkle, every day.

0:47:54 Lou: Every day.

0:47:54 Murph: Thank god for Sprinkle.

0:47:57 Lou: What happened to your cool ruler?

0:47:59 Brennan: What did happen to my cool ruler? Did someone take it?

0:48:00 Siobhan: No, I gave it back to you.

0:48:01 Lou: What happened to your cruler?

0:48:02 Murph: I broke it over my knee and then flushed it down the toilet.

0:48:04 Siobhan: Yeah, stick it up your ass, dude.

0:48:06 Brennan: I found it, it's partially see-through.

0:48:09 Ally: I get advantage on Survival while traveling. Can I check and see like, if we're getting close into anymore enemy territory, or like what's ahead?

0:48:17 Brennan: Yeah, give me a Survival check.

0:48:19 Ally: Ooh. Nat 20.

0:48:20 Murph: Nat 20!

0:48:22 Brennan: Both of these bridges are policed by active, awake military, you can hear them.

0:48:27 Siobhan: Fuck.

0:48:27 Ally: Okay.

0:48:30 Brennan: That's going to go back to be Cumulous's turn.

0:48:41 Siobhan: If we aim for here, if Sir Theobald, if you can get to here and Message him, then he can come and pick us up here.

0:48:48 Brennan: Remember, more of Cruller’s-

0:48:48 Siobhan: Right, we don't know what's going on over here.

0:48:52 Brennan: That’s the way back to Port Syrup, that's the way to the Great Stone Candy Mountains, there are more of Cruller's men that way, but it's up to you.

0:48:58 Siobhan: But he can at least pick us up here and then turn back around.

0:49:01 Murph: I think this is the shortest. Like we're gonna have to do crazy Stealth checks, but I don't know. I'll leave it up to a vote, but-

0:49:07 Lou: I’m personally- I'm invested in-

0:49:07 Murph: Getting Jet? Me too.

0:49:11 Siobhan: I would like to get Jet.

0:49:13 Brennan: Okay. That is Cumulous, what is Cumulous gonna do?

0:49:18 Zac: Cumulous is killing the last dog.

0:49:19 Brennan: Okay.

0:49:20 Lou: Damn right he is.

0:49:21 Zac: Oh and I have 10 extra hit points, because I've killed three dogs. (cast laughing)

0:49:27 Murph: He just is fueled by it.

0:49:29 Lou: My man just wanted to murder.

0:49:30 Zac: 19, so that's 1d8. And then, so-

0:49:37 Brennan: How much did you get on that first one?

0:49:38 Zac: Did 7 damage on the first hit.

0:49:40 Brennan: Okay. That doesn't do it.

0:49:44 Zac: Another hit, I believe, 16?

0:49:47 Brennan: 16 hits.

0:49:48 Zac: And then 9 damage.

0:49:50 Brennan: Boom, boom, you deal 9 points of damage. I'm going to need a Stealth check from you again, at disadvantage.

0:50:04 Zac: 10.

0:50:04 Murph: Fuck!

0:50:04 Brennan: Okay.

0:50:07 Siobhan: Fuck, fuck, fuck fuck fuck!

0:50:11 Brennan: From one of these tents, a Vegetanian knight saddles up and begins to-

0:50:15 Siobhan: Shit!

0:50:17 Brennan: Approach you with a torch. Rides up past you here, and says, holding up a torch, you're in the middle of the light as the knight rides up and goes, he's this sort of like radish-looking knight, says,

0:50:29 Radish knight: Candian, are you of House Cruller?

0:50:35 Zac: I use Hour of Reaping again.

0:50:38 Brennan: You've used your action to do—

0:50:39 Zac: Oh, yes. I'm going to bonus action Flurry of Blows him.

0:50:55 Brennan: Go for it.

0:50:55 Murph: Nice.

0:51:00 Zac: 25 or something?

0:51:02 Brennan: 25 hits.

0:51:04 Zac: And then 16?

0:51:07 Brennan: 16 does not hit.

0:51:07 Murph: Oh, shit.

0:51:16 Zac: 8 damage on the first attack.

0:51:16 Brennan: 8 damage on the first attack, okay. You swing out and kind of dink his plate armor. There are two knights in the back of that chariot.

0:51:29 Ally: For three total, or for two?

0:51:30 Brennan: For two total and their steeds. We're gonna go back to our sneakers.

0:51:35 Ally: I want to, with my Perception, I think I'm probably aware that something's going on back there. How far away is that?

0:51:43 Brennan: From you right now? That is one, two, three, four, five. That is 125 feet away.

0:51:53 Ally: I can shoot it with my bow. I take an attack.

0:51:56 Murph: Do you wanna shoot a horse in the butt?

0:51:58 Ally: No, I wanna kill the two people and take the chariot so that we can ride that.

0:52:03 Murph: We'd have to run all the way back there.

0:52:05 Siobhan: No, he can ride it over to us.

0:52:07 Murph: Oh, shit.

0:52:09 Brennan: Okay. I'm gonna give you a heads up, 'cause you can absolutely do this. That's going to alert them to your position. Just so you know.

0:52:21 Zac: Just that chariot, right?

0:52:24 Brennan: If an arrow comes out of the dark, that's gonna mean something.

0:52:27 Murph: I think us riding a chariot is also maybe not the best idea. As fast as it would be, it would be crazy loud.

0:52:36 Siobhan: I can cast Disguise Self again.

0:52:36 Ally: We have two people with Disguise Self in our party, though.

0:52:39 Siobhan: You have Disguise Self, don't you?

0:52:40 Brennan: I'm gonna say that we actually can't have this much conversation. So what's Liam doing?

0:52:49 Ally: I'm shooting them.

0:52:50 Brennan: Go for it.

0:52:51 Ally: (laughs) I get Sneak Attack, right?

0:52:52 Brennan: Yeah, you do. Yeah, you get advantage.

0:52:57 Ally: (Ally whistles) Crit.

0:52:59 Brennan: Nat 20.

0:53:00 Ally: Okay, so I'm gonna be casting Hail of Thorns, second level, which means I get— [Lou laughs, impressed]

0:53:06 Murph: You can double that too, right?

0:53:07 Ally: Yep, 2d10, I get this for Sneak Attack.

0:53:12 Brennan: So it's 2d10, 2d6 for Sneak Attack.

0:53:14 Ally: Yeah.

0:53:15 Brennan: If you're doing Hail of Thorns, that's another 4d10?

0:53:18 Siobhan: And it's his first attack.

0:53:20 Ally: Yeah, so I'm gonna get a d8.

0:53:20 Siobhan: Right? Or does the-

0:53:22 Brennan: Yeah, and that's gonna double as well.

0:53:24 Ally: Okay, cool, 2d8, okay.

0:53:27 Zac: Jesus!

0:53:30 Ally: 13, 19, 24, 32, 37, 41, 47 plus 8 twice.

0:53:48 Brennan: Plus 8 twice?

0:53:49 Ally: Mm-hmm.

0:53:49 Siobhan: Two arrows.

0:53:51 Zac: Is that two different attacks, or is that one?

0:53:52 Ally: It's just the first attack.

0:53:54 Brennan: You ice this knight through his helmet and he falls out of the chariot dead.

0:53:57 Ally: Okay, cool.

0:53:57 Murph: Oh, hell yeah.

0:53:58 Ally: And you're watching this, right?

0:54:01 Brennan: Okay, now I'm going to roll, so that's Liam.

0:54:04 Ally: That's the first attack, though. 'Cause if it's-

0:54:06 Brennan: Yeah, go for it.

0:54:07 Ally: I get three total, right?

0:54:08 Brennan: That's true, you get three total.

0:54:10 Ally: And I get 10 extra to travel? Right, if I wanted to go—

0:54:12 Brennan: You do get 10 extra feet of movement. If you wanted to take a step back, you could. But go ahead and give me the other two attacks.

0:54:21 Ally: 19, yeah, 29.

0:54:23 Brennan: Hits.

0:54:24 Ally: So then, and oh, the person next to him took half of that attack, you know?

0:54:29 Brennan: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, takes- So that's gonna be-

0:54:31 Siobhan: From Hail of Thorns.

0:54:31 Brennan: You did second level, right?

0:54:33 Ally: Yeah, yeah.

0:54:34 Brennan: So Hail of Thorns, is that a d8 or a d10?

0:54:35 Ally: That was 2d10s that I rolled.

0:54:37 Brennan: So you're gonna do 2d10 to the other guy, too. Go for it.

0:54:39 Ally: Okay, yeah, yeah. So I forget what I rolled on that, though.

0:54:41 Brennan: I'm gonna roll a save for him. Fail. Go ahead and roll 2d10.

0:54:46 Ally: Sure, 14.

0:54:47 Brennan: Jesus, okay, do your other two attacks.

0:54:48 Ally: Okay. I just rolled for that second attack.

0:54:51 Brennan: That's a hit.

0:54:51 Ally: So that's just gonna be a d10.

0:54:56 Brennan: I don't think you add anything else, right?

0:54:57 Ally: Right.

0:54:59 Brennan: You used Sneak Attack.

0:54:59 Ally: I used Sneak Attack.

0:55:00 Brennan: You can't do another bonus action spell.

0:55:02 Ally: I already used the d8, right, which I doubled, okay, yeah, yeah, okay, cool. So that's 7 plus 8 is 15, so then that's another 15.

0:55:11 Brennan: 14.

0:55:11 Ally: So 14 and 15, 29.

0:55:12 Murph: Wow!

0:55:13 Brennan: So that's 29. Not down.

0:55:17 Ally: Okay, then I'll roll my third attack.

0:55:20 Murph: Nice.

0:55:20 Ally: Yeah, 28.

0:55:22 Brennan: Go ahead and roll damage for this one.

0:55:24 Lou: Who is this boy?

0:55:27 Murph: (softly laughing) Seriously.

0:55:30 Ally: That's 13.

0:55:33 Brennan: Dropped.

0:55:34 Ally: Cool.

0:55:34 Lou: Jesus!

0:55:34 Brennan: Two knights.

0:55:36 Ally: Then do I do a Stealth check?

0:55:37 Brennan: Do a Stealth check to see if anything happens. Gotta beat a 16.

0:55:43 Ally: Come on! Yeah, 24.

0:55:44 Murph: [laughs] Unbelievable! I am sorry for ever doubting you, Liam.

0:55:48 Brennan: [staring into the camera] Who is Liam Wilhelmina?

0:55:50 Ally: I'm a war guy now.

0:55:50 Siobhan: He's a seed guy, he's a war guy. He's both.

0:55:52 Zac: I think Cumulous just watches all these arrows right into these people in front of him and is just sort of like,

0:55:59 Cumulous: Yes.

0:56:01 Ally: Oh, and then can one of you Message, "take the horses and go?"

0:56:05 Zac: I might kill the horses, guys, I'm sorry.

0:56:07 Ally: No, I'm gonna kill you, dog!

0:56:07 Lou: No, I think it's the right—

0:56:10 Brennan: Here's the thing. Cumulous, you are in torchlight, which means that everyone on the castle walls has spotted you, and I'm going to make a Perception check in the Box of Doom right now, they get a plus 2. [tense Box of Doom music]

0:56:23 Zac: Okay.

0:56:24 Brennan: I'm just seeing if they, like- ‘Cause they definitely see these guys fall, it's just about if they see Cumulous at the edge of the torchlight or not.

0:56:33 Zac: I hope they do.

0:56:34 Brennan: On an 8 or higher, they notice Cumulous. That's a 14. They shout, I'm gonna roll some more initiative real quick. Hold on. (sighs) Okay. That is less than Cumulous, but that is still not very good. Okay. That was Liam. Now everyone else, when Liam does that, do you wanna continue to sneak or do you do anything? Do you wait for Liam as Liam ices those two knights or do you continue stealthing?

0:57:12 Siobhan: Here's what I would like to do, which is maybe shenanigans, but let me know. Is I would like to- So I have a thief's lantern, a hooded lantern?

0:57:23 Brennan: Yeah.

0:57:25 Siobhan: I would like to light that, have my Mage Hand carry it away and then open the hood up so it's like a distraction. It's like a floating light around that's like going up and down as if- Like far enough away from us that if arrows go anywhere near.

0:57:43 Brennan: Go ahead and give me Deception with advantage.

0:57:45 Siobhan: Great.

0:57:45 Murph: Nice.

0:57:46 Brennan: That's not shenanigans, that just rules.

0:57:48 Siobhan: Great. 17.

0:57:53 Brennan: I was gonna say, gotta beat a 15.

0:57:54 Siobhan: Great.

0:57:55 Brennan: You hold the lantern out, feel your Mage Hand grab it, and feel a small kiss on your cheek as the lantern begins to rush off into the night, and you see arrows from the castle walls fly after it. The other people there, 'cause Liam's taken a turn this round of not sneaking, so neither Liam nor Ruby may advance this round, the rest of you, are you just gonna hold tight?

0:58:21 Murph: Can we carry Liam and Ruby? Just like, scoop them up and-

0:58:24 Brennan: You'll auto fail the Stealth check.

0:58:27 Lou: So should we...

0:58:30 Zac: Just wait.

0:58:32 Lou: I think we-

0:58:32 Murph: We'll just prepare.

0:58:34 Siobhan: I mean, I-

0:58:35 Murph: We'll hold our turns, I guess.

0:58:37 Brennan: Cool, you guys hold your turns. Cumulous, you act before the next people to act.

0:58:43 Zac: Are there- So the torches are just on the cart?

0:58:46 Brennan: On the chariot, yes.

0:58:47 Zac: I'm gonna get in the chariot and I'm gonna try to ride it. Can I make a-

0:58:53 Brennan: Make an Animal Handling. This is just an Animal Handling check. We'll call it a DC 10.

0:59:00 Zac: Nat 20. Brennan stares in shock.

0:59:00 Siobhan: Yes.

0:59:01 Ally: Yes!

0:59:02 Zac: So, can I tell you what I wanna do?

0:59:04 Brennan: Please tell me what you wanna do.

0:59:05 Zac: I'm going to get in the chariot and I'm gonna ride the horses off this cliff.

0:59:09 Siobhan: What?

0:59:10 Zac: In the wrong direction. [Brennan claps, impressed]

0:59:15 Siobhan: Jesus Christ.

0:59:16 Brennan: [directly to the camera] This game fuckin' rules.

0:59:19 Cumulous: I'm sorry, beautiful beasts.

0:59:22 Ally: Yeah, I don't know, this kind of a pattern, Cumulous.

0:59:24 Cumulous: I'm not sorry.

0:59:25 Murph: They are like carrots, so, if you think of them as that instead of being horses, it's a lot easier.

0:59:31 Brennan: These ballista are going to fire on you, however.

0:59:35 Zac: Okay. How far are they?

0:59:38 Brennan: While you're in the torchlight, they've got you in range, 'cause these are not crossbows, these are mounted, huge, castle defense-

0:59:45 Zac: I can't snuff out the torches?

0:59:45 Siobhan: On a nat 20?

0:59:49 Brennan: Go ahead and give me Sleight of, on a nat 20, you got it. So I'll lower the DC, just give me a DC 10 Sleight of Hand check.

0:59:54 Murph: Come on.

0:59:57 Siobhan: Yes.

0:59:57 Zac: Yeah.

0:59:59 Brennan: You leap in the chariot, grab the torches, hurl them to either side where they disappear into the grass. They have disadvantage on all their attacks. That's gonna be a hit still.

1:00:13 Zac: Can I deflect it? [Murph laughs]

1:00:14 Brennan: That's another hit. That's a miss. These are gonna be a lot of goddamn damage, my man. What is Cumulous at right now?

1:00:23 Zac: 62.

1:00:26 Brennan: This first one is 6, 10, 16, 24 points of damage from the first one.

1:00:33 Zac: How much can I take away?

1:00:34 Brennan: You can take away- What does it say you roll?

1:00:37 Zac: 1d10 plus 12, so that one hits me for two.

1:00:40 Brennan: Well, if you roll a 10, it does. So go ahead and roll 1d10.

1:00:41 Zac: Okay. That's 18.

1:00:49 Brennan: So you take 6 points of damage.

1:00:52 Zac: I'm still at 4.

1:00:53 Brennan: The next one deals 14, 19, 21, 29 points of damage on the next one.

1:01:03 Zac: Okay.

1:01:04 Brennan: Huge, (imitates whooshing), like spiraled hard candy spears are-

1:01:10 Zac: 29, so that's 35.

1:01:10 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

1:01:12 Zac: So, I'm at… Cumulous is at 17. (Brennan sighs)

1:01:21 Zac: Okay.

1:01:23 Brennan: Cumulous, on a nat 20, you jump in that chariot, leave the two knights' dead bodies and ride it into the crevasse.

1:01:31 Zac: Start riding it that way. Will I have another turn before I go off the edge?

1:01:34 Brennan: Yes, you'll have another turn before you go off the edge. All right, Cumulous.

1:01:39 Lou: Okay, Cumulous.

1:01:41 Brennan: Okay.

1:01:42 Crew Member: (off-camera) Can I see the Box of Doom real quick?

1:01:42 Brennan: Yep. [hands it over] It is your guys' next turn.

1:01:49 Murph: Okay.

1:01:49 Siobhan: All right.

1:01:50 Brennan: And we talked about Pass-

1:01:50 Murph: Cumulous knows what he's doing.

1:01:53 Ally: Yes.

1:01:53 Brennan: Yeah, okay.

1:01:54 Ally: I cast Pass Without a Trace on our party, including Cumulous.

1:01:55 Brennan: Cool.

1:01:56 Siobhan: Great.

1:01:59 Brennan: What is the range on Pass Without a Trace?

1:02:00 Ally: Just says Self, so does that mean touch?

1:02:04 Brennan: Let me see the spell real quick?

1:02:04 Siobhan: You can definitely cast it on-

1:02:07 Ally: It says like you and everyone in your party.

1:02:10 Brennan: Each creature you choose within 30 feet of you.

1:02:12 Ally: Oh, within 30 feet, oh, okay.

1:02:14 Brennan: Cumulous can't be included, everybody else can. You cast Pass Without Trace, everyone gets plus 10 to their Stealth checks. Do you guys want to continue to do half movement, or do you wanna take disadvantage with the idea-

1:02:28 Ally: Let's do it, 'cause I'm an automatic pass. I have a plus 10 to Stealth and that's a second plus 10, so.

1:02:30 Murph: Okay, alright. Let's just move faster. We’re gonna move faster.

1:02:34 Siobhan: Yeah, and I have Yak, and I'm still invisible, right?

1:02:37 Ally: Can you Message before we're out of range from Cumulous, to let him know where we're going?

1:02:42 Murph: So advantage becomes regular now. Because we lose our- Because it's disadvantage.

1:02:46 Brennan: You get disadvantage, so advantage becomes regular. If you were just rolling regular before-

1:02:50 Siobhan: And we get plus 10.

1:02:52 Brennan: And you get plus 10 to whatever you normally add.

1:02:54 Lou: Great. And so are you taking the eagle back? Are you taking Yak back?

1:03:00 Siobhan: No, I have advantage 'cause I'm invisible.

1:03:02 Lou: Great, so I have-

1:03:04 Murph: You're just regular, I'm regular.

1:03:06 Lou: Great.

1:03:06 Brennan: [Pointing at Siobhan, Murph, Lou, Ally and himself] So regular, regular, regular, disadvantage, disadvantage.

1:03:10 Ally: I don't even need to roll, right?

1:03:12 Brennan: You do need to roll, 'cause you could hit a nat 1.

1:03:14 Ally: Oh, okay, okay.

1:03:19 Siobhan: Yeah. 25.

1:03:21 Murph: 20.

1:03:24 Lou: 24.

1:03:26 Brennan: You pass and you guys start booking it.

1:03:29 Murph: Hell yeah.

1:03:30 Ally: I got a 36 on that roll. (cast laughing)

1:03:34 Siobhan: With disadvantage? Wild.

1:03:36 Brennan: You see that Liam whisks this dark and you feel something, (roaring). You feel the call of something like the Hungry One, but not the Hungry One. (feral screeching and growling)

1:03:56 Ally: [whispering] Sick.

1:04:02 Brennan: You continue moving, and Liam you feel that familiar feeling you felt before, when you were running through Comida. Cumulous, it's your turn.

1:04:10 Zac: Okay, as these horses fly off the edge, I'm going to jump in the air and cast Gaseous Form. (Brennan laughing) (cast clapping)

1:04:20 Ally: Fuck yeah.

1:04:20 Siobhan: So sick!

1:04:22 Brennan: You full "Thelma and Louise" this Vegetanian chariot over the edge of the crevasse. (imitates neighing and rolling down the mountain) Sad. (Ally laughs)

1:04:32 Murph: They're vegetables.

1:04:33 Brennan: These horses did nothing to deserve this, but neither did anyone else. Life is chaos, what's up?

1:04:37 Zac: Do I get 10 temporary hit points from the death of the horses? (Murph laughs)

1:04:41 Brennan: Yes.

1:04:41 Murph: You fucking maniac!

1:04:42 Brennan: Yes, I'm gonna say you can-

1:04:42 Lou: Ruthless.

1:04:44 Brennan: Ruthless, hold on one second.

1:04:46 Zac: Look, I am a war guy through and through.

1:04:51 Brennan: Incredible. Cumulous, you go full gaseous. You are a piece of mist in the deep dark of night.

1:04:58 Zac: They can't see me, right?

1:04:59 Brennan: No, there's not a fuckin' chance.

1:04:59 Zac: Okay. Then I wanted to like kind of seem like I was going that way and then double back.

1:05:04 Brennan: Cool. I mean, on that nat 20, you hear shouts of like,

1:05:09 Soldiers: The fugitives, they've escaped! They are driving chariots into the crevasse! It's some kind of trick! Fire arrows in there!

1:05:17 Brennan: Yeah. That worked. You make a huge commotion over here. So all that people saw was these two guys fall out of their thing dead, but you know, tracking a crossbow bolt moving through 10 feet of torchlight in the middle of the night is not gonna give you an exact bead on direction, and as the chariot peels off, they think that you are escaping that way, and a little cloud of pink mist rises up into the air right over here. Awesome, okay. Back to your guys' turn. Let's do another round of Stealth rolls.

1:05:52 Murph: 24.

1:05:53 Lou: 25.

1:05:55 Brennan: Pass, great.

1:05:56 Ally: 30.

1:05:56 Siobhan: So many.

1:05:57 Brennan: You guys are dead sprinting now.

1:05:59 Ally: And where are we trying to go, again? Aren't we trying to cross over here?

1:06:02 Lou: I think we're trying to ford the river.

1:06:03 Brennan: Trying to ford the river right there? Cool.

1:06:05 Ally: Trying to get right there, yeah.

1:06:06 Brennan: Scooch you guys a little bit over. You can feel the grass. You actually, Liam, hear the grass here, like the bright purple, deep, sweet smelling Candian grass whispering to you as you run over it in the midst of your family and friends, going,

1:06:21 Grass: [whispering] We'll keep your secret, we'll keep your secret for you, Liam. We won't tell anyone, we won't even make a noise as you run over us. Get to safety.

1:06:30 Liam: [whispering] I appreciate it. Thanks for including me.

1:06:32 Theobald: Liam, who are you talking to?

1:06:33 Liam: [running] Thank you for including me. Thank you. (Brennan and Ally laughing)

1:06:38 Lou: [Mimicking Ally’s run] This run on Liam is perfect.

1:06:40 Brennan: Dead fucking sprint. Okay, Cumulous, you're just like floating up and out?

1:06:43 Zac: Yes and trying to get back to them.

1:06:45 Brennan: Cool. I will say this. You are safe as can fuckin' be, Gaseous Form's movement is 10 feet per round. On a move and a dash, that's 20 feet per round, which is less than an inch per round.

1:06:58 Murph: Which is the way to the mountain?

1:07:00 Zac: That way.

1:07:01 Murph: That way?

1:07:02 Ally: Isn't it up here? Isn't this-

1:07:03 Brennan: Yeah, the river goes out this way and wraps around over here.

1:07:07 Zac: I just don't wanna leave y'all in this town.

1:07:10 Brennan: The point is they'll get there a million miles before-

1:07:13 Zac: Sure, sure.

1:07:14 Brennan: But I will keep track, you'll be heading there, by the time they get there, if you're just- There is nothing that can- You're a puff of pink mist in the invisible night, I cannot make something happen to you in good conscience and call myself a fair DM.

1:07:28 Zac: Sure. Also, it lasts for an hour. I'm wondering if I should follow you guys as closely as possible, and then once you're on the boat, hmm.

1:07:38 Murph: We're moving 60 feet a round.

1:07:40 Zac: 60 feet a round?

1:07:42 Ally: I mean, you know which direction the boat would go, if you were gonna try to catch up.

1:07:47 Zac: Maybe I'll just try to catch up. Can I get to like, a little bit further ahead and then come out of it?

1:07:51 Brennan: What I'm saying is, as a cloud, there is no catching up.

1:07:54 Murph: You move 10 feet.

1:07:55 Zac: Right, I just wanna get out of any possible search radiuses, undo the cloud, and maybe run to catch up to them. I wonder if it’s worth it though.

1:08:02 Brennan: Okay. That does change stuff, but you are still in this hot spot area over here where they were seeing some shit happen. So-

1:08:11 Zac: Can I, hmm. I just don't know what's gonna be in fuckin' town.

1:08:19 Brennan: Well, let's say this, if you're just moving after them, you're moving after them, and you know, when you get out of the way, you get out of the way.

1:08:27 Zac: That's as far as I went?

1:08:27 Brennan: Yep. That's 10 feet. If you do a double move, you do 20. That's going to be, you guys again, give me another set of Stealth checks.

1:08:42 Siobhan: Yeah, so high.

1:08:42 Murph: 20.

1:08:42 Ally: Hell yeah. 25.

1:08:45 Siobhan: 32.

1:08:46 Lou: 16 is what we have to hit?

1:08:47 Brennan: 16's what you have to hit.

1:08:48 Lou: Cool, exactly 16.

1:08:48 Ally: [softly] Hell yeah.

1:08:57 Brennan: [moves them along his ruler] Incredible.

1:08:57 Siobhan: So my movement is actually 70 feet.

1:08:59 Brennan: Mm-hmm. If you want to peel ahead of your family, you can, but the slowest person right now is Theo. And Caramelinda are both moving at 30.

1:09:06 Siobhan: Yeah, no, I guess I'll stay with everybody else.

1:09:08 Ally: Can I do another like, Survival check to see what we're coming up against.

1:09:14 Brennan: Yeah, go for it.

1:09:16 Ally: Okay, that is 15.

1:09:21 Brennan: Sorry, 15? Okay, Survival check? You don't hear many voices in the town. You hear, there's like some soldiers stirring and you hear some horns up in the castle, so maybe like one or two windows are being lit in the town.

1:09:33 Ally: I have like tracking on my Caloran enemies, though. Am I able to like track where-

1:09:39 Brennan: If you wanna do Primeval Awareness, you can, you won't be able to move if you do that, that would be your action, but-

1:09:45 Siobhan: Maybe I can pick him up.

1:09:47 Brennan: But the important thing is, yeah, I mean, the town has mostly sleeping people in it. There's not a lot of riddles here. This is mostly just you guys trying to get the fuck outta here as fast as you can.

1:09:57 Ally: Okay, cool, cool.

1:09:58 Siobhan: Do these bridges seem like the people around them are waking up, or are they-

1:10:02 Brennan: Yeah, the bridges-

1:10:03 Ally: The bridges are occupied by military.

1:10:05 Siobhan: Right, right, oh right, and they're fully awake.

1:10:07 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

1:10:07 Ally: Okay.

1:10:10 Brennan: Okay.

1:10:11 Siobhan: Can I send my Mage Hand thing towards this bridge?

1:10:13 Brennan: This bridge right here? Yes you can.

1:10:14 Siobhan: Yeah.

1:10:15 Brennan: Begins to move that way. You can see soldiers in the torchlight over here. You're deep in darkness in the field. But the soldiers in the torchlight begin to approach the lantern and start calling for it to stop and then begin firing arrows at it.

1:10:25 Siobhan: Great.

1:10:26 Brennan: Let's do another round of Stealth.

1:10:30 Murph: 24.

1:10:31 Siobhan: Yeah, 22.

1:10:32 Lou: 24 as well.

1:10:33 Ally: 25.

1:10:35 Brennan: You guys make it to this haystack, rushing across the pass.

1:10:39 Lou: I turn back.

1:10:41 Amether: I mean, what do we wanna do with Cumulous?

1:10:43 Theobald: Cumulous knows what he's- He's sent here to protect us. We need to get out.

1:10:47 Ruby: He's a spy.

1:10:48 Amether: Great, we'll keep moving.

1:10:49 Ally: Can I do an Insight check on this hay bale?

1:10:53 Brennan: Do an Insight check on the hay bale?

1:10:53 Ally: Mhmm.

1:10:55 Brennan: Okay. Go for it.

1:11:01 Ally: Nat 1.

1:11:03 Siobhan: I'll also do an Insight check on the hay bale.

1:11:05 Brennan: This hay bale is your enemy, it's full of enemies. Ally has their face in their hand.

1:11:06 Siobhan: Great, yeah, I got a 3. It's full of enemies.

1:11:09 Ally: I take out my bow. No, I'm kidding.

1:11:11 Brennan: You guys wanna spend more time on this hay bale or should we keep going?

1:11:12 Siobhan: No no no, we're good. What about the vulture?

1:11:14 Ally: Let's go, let's go.

1:11:19 Brennan: All right, give me another round of Stealth and then Cumulous, you move another 20. Boop.

1:11:27 Siobhan: Yep. 27.

1:11:27 Brennan: Passed.

1:11:27 Ally: 33.

1:11:28 Brennan: Cool.

1:11:28 Murph: 26.

1:11:30 Lou: 16.

1:11:33 Brennan: You guys make it to the river, or you're almost to the river. All right, and Cumulous, you, peep. You guys begin to see the gate opens and multiple knights begin to peel out of the gate. That's going to be your guys', Cumulous. Beep.

1:12:02 Zac: Can I head towards this?

1:12:06 Brennan: Yeah.

1:12:07 Zac: Okay.

1:12:07 Brennan: Instead?

1:12:08 Zac: Yes.

1:12:09 Brennan: Cool, you go over here. Let's get another round of Stealth checks.

1:12:12 Lou: Can I do like a knowledge local check for which one of these buildings is the pull-away, or, yeah, just ask for it.

1:12:19 Murph: Do we know which one's the lingerie store?

1:12:21 Brennan: This is the lingerie store.

1:12:23 Murph: Okay.

1:12:23 Siobhan: Great. And can I—

1:12:26 Brennan: [to the camera] In a town of 800, there is a fully stocked lingerie store.

1:12:29 Lou: With attic.

1:12:30 Siobhan: Look, this is Malibu, baby. You gotta have that lingerie store. I would love to, if you will allow me, to lift the lamp up with my Mage Hand and smash it into one of these tents so it sets it on fire.

1:12:47 Brennan: Give me, you're not gonna be able to move that turn, if that's your action. Go ahead and give me an attack roll.

1:12:57 Siobhan: Great. With plus Dex?

1:12:59 Brennan: Yep.

1:12:59 Siobhan: 12?

1:13:01 Brennan: Yeah, you smash it onto the base, and you see that this tent over here catches fire. Go ahead, everyone but Ruby, and give me a Stealth check.

1:13:11 Ally: 28.

1:13:12 Murph: Well, I'm not gonna leave Ruby there.

1:13:14 Siobhan: Actually, using my Mage Hand is a bonus action.

1:13:15 Brennan: Oh, it's a bonus action, that's right. Yeah, go ahead, yeah, nevermind.

1:13:18 Murph: Oh, great.

1:13:19 Siobhan: Yeah, I'm good.

1:13:20 Murph: Ooh, I only got a 15 that time.

1:13:23 Siobhan: Yeah, I got like a 38.

1:13:25 Brennan: 15?

1:13:25 Lou: Also over 30.

1:13:26 Brennan: Also over 30, great. Wait, so and Liam passed as well?

1:13:31 Ally: Yeah, yeah.

1:13:32 Brennan: You guys make it to the river. What do you do at the river to ford to the other side?

1:13:37 Murph: How big is it, what do we see?

1:13:40 Brennan: It's only about like fifteen, twenty feet across.

1:13:44 Murph: Okay.

1:13:45 Brennan: So it is, you...

1:13:50 Murph: Can you long jump your Strength?

1:13:52 Brennan: You can long jump close to Strength. What's your Strength again?

1:13:54 Murph: 18.

1:13:57 Brennan: 18.

1:13:58 Siobhan: So strong. I can Mage Hand a rope across.

1:14:02 Brennan: That's true. Oh, your long jump is 18 feet horizontally.

1:14:05 Murph: Sweet.

1:14:06 Brennan: Cool.

1:14:07 Lou: Oh, and if I'm 20?

1:14:07 Brennan: You're 20, you're even more than that.

1:14:08 Murph: Great, you wanna take a rope?

1:14:09 Ally: I'm 16, can I make it?

1:14:11 Brennan: This is, I'm not even, everyone just roll an Athletics check.

1:14:14 Murph: Okay.

1:14:16 Siobhan: I rolled a nat 1.

1:14:16 Murph: Oh my god.

1:14:17 Brennan: Nat 1? okay.

1:14:18 Siobhan: Man, these rolls.

1:14:20 Lou: 14.

1:14:21 Murph: Oh my god.

1:14:21 Ally: Hell yeah.

1:14:23 Murph: 26.

1:14:24 Ally: Nat 20.

1:14:24 Murph: Nice.

1:14:25 Brennan: Ooh. You do your Mage Hand, set the fire, as you're doing that, you go to jump and there's a huge splash in the river as you go to ford it.

1:14:36 Ally: With a nat 20, can I try to grab her and stop her from like, going down the river?

1:14:41 Brennan: With a nat 20, you can. You guys pull up on the other side here. I'm gonna put you all over here. As you are there, I'm going to- That's gonna be Cumulous's turn.

1:15:04 Zac: Just thought of this, but like, do I know anything about if there are any more of those teleportation runes around?

1:15:12 Brennan: Here's the deal, man. You have a movement of 10 and you are invincible and you have no threat of being caught. If you wanna catch up to your friends, you have to take risks. If you want to be safe and you think that they've got it, then puff your little storm cloud way outta here.

1:15:35 Zac: I feel like Cumulous will come out of Gaseous Form and just start sprinting that way.

1:15:40 Brennan: Okie dokie.

1:15:40 Ally: Oof.

1:15:42 Brennan: You come out right here. You see if that's within torchlight.

1:15:45 Zac: Well if it’s in- I mean-

1:15:48 Brennan: Okay, so you will move here, come out of torchlight and end your turn by leaving Gaseous Form. Gotcha. That is, I am now gonna roll, splashing in that river is just gonna be a DC 10 check, they got a plus 6 over by the bridge. 4 or higher, they notice you. (suspenseful music) That's a 9.

1:16:17 Siobhan: Fuck.

1:16:18 Ally: Fuck.

1:16:19 Zac: 4 or higher?

1:16:19 Brennan: Yeah.

1:16:20 Zac: So they notice?

1:16:20 Brennan: Yep.

1:16:22 Siobhan: By this bridge?

1:16:23 Brennan: Yes. You all see… On your next turn, you guys all move into the town square. You have gotten into Dulcington. Go ahead, everybody, and give me some Stealth checks.

1:16:54 Ally: So funny that these are mini minis.

1:16:56 Lou: Now that we're running, we're still at disadvantage?

1:16:58 Brennan: Yep, correct.

1:16:59 Murph: 24.

1:17:01 Ally: 34.

1:17:03 Siobhan: 24.

1:17:05 Lou: One, 15.

1:17:06 Brennan: 15? Okay. Brennan takes out a little glass table and places it on top of the squares.

1:17:15 Siobhan: [whispering] Fuck. The fuck is this?

1:17:16 Zac: [softly] It's a battle.

1:17:18 Siobhan: [whispering] What is he doing to us?

1:17:19 Ally: Fuckin', the dragon from season one lands. (Ally and Siobhan laughing)

1:17:23 Ally: Dragon principal. Siobhan mimics placing a massive mini on top of the little table.

1:17:26 Lou: Just over the town, over our little mini minis.

1:17:29 Brennan: Okay.

1:17:30 Lou: Eats all of us.

1:17:33 Siobhan: R-I-P.

1:17:34 Lou: Goodbye, folks.

1:17:36 Brennan: You guys take your 28mm minis. Ruby, Queen Caramelinda.

1:17:42 Ally: Oh!

1:17:42 Murph: Oh, she looks cool.

1:17:44 Siobhan: Oh, our mom is cool!

1:17:45 Lou: Another secret Black woman. Why don't you just tell me these characters are Black? Why are you hiding from me?

1:17:52 Siobhan: She's got caramel skin, dude.

1:17:53 Lou: Honestly, okay.

1:17:53 Siobhan: Do the math.

1:17:55 Lou: No, she could be Italian. This is a black—

1:17:57 Brennan: Why is it always Italian? Arthur Aguefort's Italian, Caramelinda's Italian.

1:18:01 Lou: But this is a Black— Oh, okay, so that's what it is. There's no diversity in this world.

1:18:04 Brennan: You have a presupposition that my characters are all Italian and that's a weird thing that you need to interrogate on your own time.

1:18:10 Siobhan: That's on you.

1:18:10 Murph: You introduce every NPC by saying, "you see a big Italian man" and then you go on to say the other—

1:18:15 Siobhan: He says, "it's a-me! Oh, I miss-a the home-a-land!"

1:18:18 Brennan: “I'm-a the queen of-a Candyland!” Sorry, Candia. Cool. You guys step out into the town square. You guys can see where you are right here.

1:18:28 Siobhan: I'm invisible.

1:18:30 Brennan: You are still invisible and you see in front of you… (muttering) Boxes and boxes.

1:18:40 Lou: [lisping exaggeratedly] Boxes upon boxes. He's got so many boxes.

1:18:45 Siobhan: I don't like it, I don't like this—

1:18:46 Zac: [to Lou] Truly a voice I've never heard you use.

1:18:48 Ally: Yeah, same.

1:18:48 Lou: [still lisping exaggeratedly] He's got boxes and boxes.

1:18:50 Brennan: You guys round the corner as torches flare up after that loud noise, and there are Ceresian soldiers in the middle of the town square.

1:18:54 Siobhan: Fuck.

1:18:57 Ally: Oh, it's the fuckin'—

1:19:00 Siobhan: Oh, that fucking gladiator.

1:19:02 Brennan: Okay. Um, here they all are.

1:19:08 Zac: Oh, shit. A little piece came off.

1:19:10 Brennan: Oh.

1:19:11 Ally: I can't be surprised, so did I know that they were coming or—

1:19:14 Brennan: Well, you guys just run into them in the middle of the town. They roll a 3 for their initiative. Top of the order is Liam.

1:19:28 Ally: Yeah, let's ice them. Do I get advantage? From going first, or—

1:19:32 Brennan: I'm gonna say that this is actually— Yeah, this is a different combat, so you get your whole first round thingy.

1:19:37 Ally: Oh, great, okay, so I'm gonna aim for Ciabatta warrior.

1:19:41 Brennan: Go for it.

1:19:42 Ally: Nat 20. I crit, I fucking crit, man.

1:19:42 Lou: What?

1:19:45 Murph: You are unbelievable!

1:19:45 Siobhan: Liam! MVP!

1:19:49 Ally: Non stop crits, motherfucker! That's what, 2d6, 2d10, we got a d8 in the mix. Brennan shrugs, defeated, at the camera.

1:19:56 Ally: Let's see, yeah, so that's 2d10, 2d6, 2d8.

1:20:00 Lou: Are you cheating? Are you cheating?

1:20:03 Murph: I'm watching.

1:20:04 Siobhan: Do you think Murph would let them cheat? Lou just shakes his head.

1:20:05 Ally: Let me see, and then all of this, I add 16 to at the end.

1:20:12 Lou: That's surreal, dude.

1:20:12 Siobhan: Surreal.

1:20:13 Lou: We're living in a fake life.

1:20:15 Ally: So that's 10, 18, 25, plus 8 is 33, plus 16, so 40.

1:20:22 Brennan: I think it's just 8 again.

1:20:24 Ally: Oh, okay.

1:20:25 Brennan: So it's just 8 again, so that's—

1:20:26 Ally: 41.

1:20:27 Brennan: [laughs] Great. You guys round the corner, see the Ceresians, they go,

1:20:31 Ceresian: Ha ha, it is a royal!

1:20:34 Brennan: [arrow thunk] An arrow goes right in the guy's neck, he's not down, go ahead and keep making the rest of your attacks.

1:20:40 Ally: Okay. Then I guess for this one, I'll do Bursting Arrow, because I feel like there are maybe three people within range?

1:20:48 Brennan: Yeah, there's three people within five feet of him, absolutely.

1:20:50 Ally: Oh, Bursting Arrow is actually 10 feet, so can I hit more people with that?

1:20:52 Brennan: Jesus, yes, you can get more people.

1:20:54 Murph: Wow!

1:20:54 Siobhan: Fuck, I'm not invisible, 'cause I used my Mage Hand.

1:20:57 Brennan: Yep, you're done.

1:20:59 Ally: Oop, sorry. Ooh. Well, but that's still an 18, does that hit?

1:21:03 Brennan: 18 hits, yep.

1:21:03 Ally: Okay, cool.

1:21:05 Murph: Nice.

1:21:06 Ally: So Bursting Arrow is—

1:21:07 Brennan: Deal the damage to the dude first.

1:21:09 Ally: Okay, yeah. So that is a d10. 9, great, so 9 plus 8 is 17.

1:21:15 Brennan: Okay still not down. Okay, he's still barely hanging on.

1:21:23 Ally: Cool, and then it's 2d6, which is 7.

1:21:26 Brennan: This guy goes down with that explosion and these guys all take 7 points of damage.

1:21:31 Ally: Great. Great, and then my last attack. Yeah, 27.

1:21:38 Brennan: Go ahead and roll damage, this is gonna be the d10 plus 8?

1:21:41 Ally: Yeah. That's 7 plus 8, 15.

1:21:45 Brennan: You're going for one of the guys that you injured already?

1:21:46 Ally: Yeah. Oh, I injured most people, right? It's 10 feet?

1:21:50 Brennan: These dots are actually each 5 feet, so these guys are, you were able to hit just these dudes here.

1:21:55 Ally: So everyone but him?

1:21:56 Brennan: Everyone but him and these ones and Ruby and Caramelinda. So you ice another one behind him, blast of peppermint. Your guys' stealth is fully given away at this point.

1:22:06 Murph: Sure.

1:22:07 Brennan: That's Liam. Ruby, that's you.

1:22:10 Siobhan: Shit. I would like to...

1:22:15 Brennan: You have what, 3 hit points?

1:22:16 Siobhan: Yeah, I'd like to take my disengage.

1:22:20 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

1:22:23 Siobhan: Are we in the light here, or is it dark?

1:22:25 Brennan: Yes, they have lit the torches in the town square, so you are visible, but you are hidden by some of the buildings, so the bridges right now cannot see you.

1:22:32 Siobhan: Okay. So I'd like to take my Cunning Action disengage, move behind Theo and Liam.

1:22:41 Brennan: Yep.

1:22:45 Siobhan: And then shoot at one of these guys that got injured with Yak to help me so I have advantage.

1:22:54 Brennan: Go for it.

1:22:59 Siobhan: That's a 19?

1:23:00 Brennan: That hits, go ahead and roll Sneak Attack.

1:23:02 Siobhan: Great.

1:23:02 Murph: Nice.

1:23:07 Siobhan: Three 6’s. Wait a minute, hang on, and a 5. Three 6’s and a 5 is, shit, I can't do math right now.

1:23:14 Brennan: 23.

1:23:15 Siobhan: 23 plus 5, 28.

1:23:17 Brennan: He is obliterated. Truly obliterated, Sourscratch sends his soul straight to Hell. Done. That is going to be King Amethar.

1:23:28 Zac: Do you have more attacks, or is that—

1:23:29 Siobhan: No, I just get a single attack.

1:23:31 Lou: I step into the group of three in front of me and I'll go into a rage. [tense, adventurous orchestral music]

1:23:38 Brennan: Incredible, yep.

1:23:40 Lou: And then I'll swing on the one-

1:23:42 Brennan: There's one uninjured, one and two injured. Well, now they're all injured, because of rage. But you light up, cast fiery light over the town square.

1:23:48 Lou: I'll swing on the least injured one. Or, yeah, the least injured one. 17.

1:23:57 Brennan: 17 hits.

1:23:58 Lou: All right. Reroll ones. Great, 9 plus 9, 18.

1:24:06 Brennan: Jesus. You behead him in a huge stroke of Payment Day.

1:24:08 Murph: Hell Yeah.

1:24:10 Lou: Fantastic, I'll take my bonus, no, I already used my bonus action. So we'll just go for another one. Yeah, 23.

1:24:20 Brennan: Hit.

1:24:21 Lou: Great. Reroll twos. 8, 17. (Brennan shouts)

1:24:30 Brennan: This bread soldier standing in the midst of Candia is brought low by the king.

1:24:36 Lou: And, oh, how dumb do I wanna be? Let's get real dumb. Let me Action Surge. I'll go for the one in front of me.

1:24:44 Brennan: Yeah.

1:24:44 Murph: This is awesome.

1:24:47 Lou: 25.

1:24:49 Siobhan: My king!

1:24:50 Lou: It's gonna work, dude. Reroll one.

1:24:53 Murph: So dumb and cool.

1:24:53 Lou: 7 plus 9 is 16.

1:24:57 Brennan: How do you do this guy in?

1:24:58 Lou: Fuckin' straight down the middle. [Brennan imitates a vertical slash]

1:24:58 Lou: Great and then I'll use—

1:25:02 Brennan: He's a full hoagie bun. He's just split down the middle.

1:25:05 Lou: And then I'll use my movement to get to that guy. We'll try and drop him as well. 25?

1:25:13 Murph: Hell yeah, dude.

1:25:15 Siobhan: Yes.

1:25:17 Lou: And that's a full 20.

1:25:19 Brennan: What happens to this asshole?

1:25:20 Lou: Oh, I think it's like a triple-cut, it's like one across the top and then again.

1:25:25 Brennan: The King of Candia goes to work in a blaze of sweet flame. Queen Caramelinda remarks,

1:25:33 Caramelinda: Your father is good at what he does.

1:25:38 Zac: Those guys are toast!

1:25:39 Brennan: Woo-hoo!

1:25:39 Lou: My guy! Lou embraces Zac.

1:25:43 Brennan: And Theo, that's gonna be you.

1:25:44 Murph: Sweet. I'll rush forward at the last guy.

1:25:47 Brennan: Go for it.

1:25:48 Murph: And I will do Green-Flame Blade.

1:25:51 Brennan: Hell yeah.

1:25:52 Murph: To do an extra d8. Sweet, that's a 18 to hit?

1:25:58 Brennan: 18 hits.

1:25:59 Murph: Sweet. 10 damage! (Ally laughs)

1:26:08 Brennan: 10 damage? He is on death's door, but not out.

1:26:11 Murph: Sweet, one more attack.

1:26:14 Brennan: 22. Yeah, 22, minimum damage you can do.

1:26:21 Murph: Yeah, 12.

1:26:21 Brennan: You rush up, (grunting). Before a single one of this occupying malicious army can even raise a weapon against you, (dramatic music starts) what remains of Candia's royal family, fleeing for their lives, puts them to their final rest. And perhaps the thought of “Let this be the first of many steps to punish those who have wronged you.” Go ahead, you guys disband with them. Cumulous, what are you doing?

1:26:52 Zac: I'm going to take a full dash action and then also use a bonus action, Step of the Wind, to dash again.

1:26:59 Brennan: How much movement do you have?

1:27:01 Zac: I have 45, so that'd be 180?

1:27:04 Siobhan: Wow.

1:27:04 Zac: Wait, no, 45, 45 again, 45 again. Ally 180.

1:27:11 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

1:27:12 Zac: Wait, is it, do I add 45 twice, or do I—

1:27:15 Brennan: Movement, dash, bonus action dash is three. So three times 45 is 135, correct?

1:27:22 Siobhan: Yeah.

1:27:23 Zac: Just that way. Wow.

1:27:26 Murph: You're good, dude.

1:27:29 Brennan: The wind whipping through your cotton candy hair, with Fluffwind out behind you. You see, it's like the fuckin' Catbus. The long grass just (whooshing), the wind stretches out behind you as you streak through the night.

1:27:44 Siobhan: Amazing. Fucking Dragon Ball Z up in this shit. (Ally laughs)

1:27:51 Brennan: Cool. These knights are going to barrel down after you.

1:27:58 Zac: They see me?

1:28:00 Brennan: Actually, you're just going, give me Stealth with disadvantage, you're like dead sprinting. Lou, seeing Zac’s roll, grins and backs away.

1:28:08 Zac: Worst one is 19.

1:28:09 Brennan: Pfft. They don't see you at all. They continue to move down the road. Hold on one second. Okay. They keep moving. All of you guys, you guys can give me another Stealth, but—

1:28:27 Murph: I want to send a Message to Manta Ray Jack, is he within 120 feet now?

1:28:34 Siobhan: Not quite, it's close.

1:28:34 Murph: 120 feet?

1:28:37 Brennan: Five of these.

1:28:39 Ally: Oh yeah.

1:28:40 Brennan: Not quite.

1:28:42 Murph: I wanna run to the— We all wanna grab Jet.

1:28:45 Lou: I'm going- Yes.

1:28:45 Murph: Okay. So...

1:28:48 Ally: Well, Caramelinda and I can just go get the body, if the rest of you wanna go, and then we catch up with you.

1:28:54 Lou: I'd prefer to reclaim my daughter’s body.

1:28:55 Ally: Okay.

1:28:55 Murph: I'll go with Amethar.

1:28:59 Brennan: Okay, you guys use your movement, you rush into the shop. Is everyone going into the shop with them, or are you guys—

1:29:06 Ally: Can I go into the shop first, since I have such good Stealth and like Perception to see if people are in there waiting for us?

1:29:14 Lou: Yes.

1:29:14 Murph: Oh, that's a good call.

1:29:15 Brennan: Yes, go ahead and give me a Stealth check real quick.

1:29:17 Ally: With advantage, if I'm—

1:29:17 Brennan: Yep.

1:29:24 Ally: Yeah, 32.

1:29:26 Brennan: You guys, 32.

1:29:29 Murph: I'll say if Liam and Amethar are going, I'll go with Ruby and do you wanna start running for—

1:29:36 Siobhan: For the ship?

1:29:36 Murph: Get Manta Ray Jack? It's probably good to get moving.

1:29:39 Brennan: Yeah. Okay, so Theo, Caramelinda, and Ruby continue to just run. You guys get further and further there. Amethar and Liam go into the shop. Amethar, you go into the shop, open the cabinet, and see Jet. [somber piano music]

1:30:01 Lou: I just am pretty dead inside at this time and just kind of very gracefully take her body, slink Payment Day down on my shoulder,

1:30:09 Amether: Let's go.

1:30:14 Brennan: You move out of the shop. Cumulous, what are you doing?

1:30:18 Zac: I just do that again. But more along, try to like, kind of mimic the path that—

1:30:26 Brennan: That they took? Just (whooshing), sprinting.

1:30:35 Zac: Can I make a Perception check on that bush? The hay bale?

1:30:39 Brennan: Yeah, go for it.

1:30:39 Zac: I'm sorry. (Ally laughs)

1:30:43 Ally: Look, I'm telling you, we're gonna lift it up and the carrot paladin is gonna be under it.

1:30:47 Murph: Can I also say that as we're running towards the dock, can I send a message to Manta Ray Jack and tell him that we need to go immediately—

1:30:55 Brennan: Yeah, you get a message back from him saying,

1:30:55 Manta Ray: Roger!

1:30:57 Brennan: And you hear a bell ringing on the ship.

1:30:59 Murph: Hell yeah.

1:31:00 Ally: Why?

1:31:01 Lou: (laughs) My exact thought.

1:31:02 Brennan: He's gotta wake up like 30 sailors.

1:31:05 Ally: No, he does not!

1:31:06 Murph: Everyone knows. Everyone knows. Everyone knows.

1:31:06 Ally: We are fucked. Because of that, we are fucked.

1:31:12 Brennan: You guys see these guys muster, begin to march across the bridge, these guys marching behind them. These guys race over this bridge and are joined by another squadron of knights here.

1:31:26 Siobhan: Fuck!

1:31:28 Brennan: Okay. All of you guys, you're just dead sprinting for the boat?

1:31:34 Lou: Dead sprint, as dead as a sprint can be. JK, I'm walking— I'm jogging with my dead daughter's body.

1:31:44 Brennan: You guys rush here, you are so close to the harbor. These guys are gonna take not that much movement, boom, boom, and they're gonna open fire. Hold on one second.

1:31:59 Ally: They have disadvantage, right? 'Cause we're all Pass Without a Trace?

1:32:01 Brennan: That's very true, thank you.

1:32:03 Siobhan: Thank you!

1:32:03 Lou: Thank you.

1:32:11 Brennan: Thank you. One hits Liam.

1:32:13 Murph: I take it. Swirlwarden. [mimes shield]

1:32:16 Brennan: You jump in front of Liam. Seven points of damage down to four. Those crossbows come at you.

1:32:20 Liam: Thank you Theo.

1:32:23 Theobald: No one else dies today.

1:32:25 Brennan: Cumulous, you do another one?

1:32:26 Zac: Yes. Does it make sense for me to like, try to jump over a building?

1:32:33 Brennan: Your high jump is truly- Let me just see something. You jump straight from here to the top of this building.

1:32:39 Murph: Monks fuckin' rule.

1:32:39 Siobhan: Jesus.

1:32:41 Ally: Fuck yeah.

1:32:41 Brennan: You guys just see Cumulous, who was a million fuckin' miles away, has caught up after—

1:32:46 Ally: We get shot at?

1:32:48 Brennan: Yeah.

1:32:48 Liam: What the fuck?

1:32:49 Brennan: Cumulous, you just leap—

1:32:50 Cumulous: I did not shoot at you.

1:32:52 Brennan: You (whooshing) sail through the air, bam, land on the top of the chimney, sailing over the tree.

1:32:56 Theobald: Liam, no one else dies today. We already lost Jet and Cumulous— Oh, hello, Cumulous. (Brennan laughs)

1:33:00 Cumulous: I am up here.

1:33:02 Amethar: Well, I guess you were right, Theo, he can take care of himself.

1:33:05 Brennan: You guys duck around the corner. You make it all the way to the dock. Manta Ray says,

1:33:10 Manta Ray: Oh right, what's happened?! What should we try to do?!

1:33:15 Amethar: We're trying to leave right now.

1:33:16 Manta Ray: All right!

1:33:17 Brennan: They're like, busy undoing anchors. You guys see, again, squadrons of knights barreling down, there's no goddamn way that you are gonna get this boat up and running in time. You get away from the archers, the archers advance again.

1:33:32 Lou: Okay, real talk, can I go into a rage and attempt to push the boat?

1:33:38 Brennan: Give me an Athletics check.

1:33:40 Murph: Okay, you already have advantage, yeah.

1:33:44 Lou: That's gonna be a 22.

1:33:47 Brennan: You guys see Amethar gets his body, his back, up against the side of the boat, gets his legs up on the fuckin' harbor, and (roaring) and ropes begin to snap. You've just shaved like 10 minutes off of this process. You see… All of you get aboard, Liam is aboard. Cumulous, do you have one more to burn?

1:34:13 Zac: Can I just take a full movement action? I'm out of Ki points.

1:34:17 Brennan: Okay, yes, you can take a full-

1:34:18 Zac: I would love to jump across roofs.

1:34:21 Brennan: Actually, let me see, I think you can just do that, 'cause that's, yeah, that's less than 90 feet. You leap from this chimney to this chimney on the other side of town, monks are insane and you jump down to your friends. You have actually, against all fucking odds, caught up to—

1:34:34 Siobhan: So rad!

1:34:37 Brennan: Your companions.

1:34:38 Lou: That first time you did it, it was crazy. The seventh time you did, I was like, okay. (Ally laughs)

1:34:43 Cumulous: I threw some horses off a cliff.

1:34:44 Amethar: What?!

1:34:45 Liam: We saw you kill some dogs.

1:34:48 Cumulous: I did.

1:34:49 Ruby: I support it, those dogs were evil.

1:34:51 Brennan: As you guys are barreling down— All of you up the gangplank that is like barely attached to the ship after Amethar pushes it off. You see that there is one last rope that they're trying, not even the ropes attaching to the harbor, just trying to get the sails down.

1:35:06 Siobhan: I use my Mage Hand.

1:35:08 Brennan: You pull the sails down, as you start doing that, you see knights coming up through the alley, swinging grappling hooks.

1:35:17 Murph: Can I do, okay, I would like to cast— So Knock does, a target that is held shut by a mundane lock. I would like to like, the reins, something holding the horses, to cause some fucking chaos.

1:35:27 Brennan: Cool, go ahead and just give me a ranged spell attack.

1:35:29 Murph: Oh boy, my ranged spell attack is not good.

1:35:34 Siobhan: You have Sprinkle.

1:35:35 Murph: 18.

1:35:37 Brennan: One of them, bam, flies open. You guys begin to head off. As you sail up the river, you have escaped. Silence descends. Amethar stands holding the body of the Princess Jet as the night envelops you all. (solemn music) [NEXT EPISODE - Episode 11: At the Mountains of Sweetness] [NEXT EPISODE’S PREVIEW]

1:36:25 Amethar: I'm going to miss you so much. Taught me so much.

1:36:30 Ruby: And it's all of Aunt Lazuli's fault and it's all my fucking fault my sister died.

1:36:35 Caramelinda: What task was given to our Lord Commander of the Tartguard?

1:36:44 Brennan: And as it glows bright, it casts your shadow on the wall behind you. Its hair is in a long braid.

1:36:55 Ruby: Jet? Transcribed by Kyber Bonsai Edited by Socks, Kyber Bonsai, gluegunshots, rowan solsys
