Encounter in the Ice Cream Temple

0:00:19 Brennan: Hello, one and all! Welcome to another very cool and misty episode of "A Crown of Candy". I'm your humble dungeon master, Brennan Lee Mulligan. With me, as always, are our intrepid heroes. Say, hi, intrepid heroes.

0:00:30 All: Hi, intrepid heroes!

0:00:31 Siobhan: Look at this goddamn set. Wild!

0:00:34 Emily: We don't deserve it.

0:00:34 Siobhan: No.

0:00:36 Brennan: It's got cool effects! Look at the mist! We see our intrepid heroes poised on the edge of this platform. Behind you, the steps lead back down into the rest of the Temple of Ice Cream, and in front of you, floating over the mist, are these huge spiraling, levitating ice cream plinths. You see the tall tower of ice cream in front of you, and a dark, chocolate cinnamon egg on the top of the tower. You feel the presence of a candy road going to a realm of pure, sweet, candy dreams on the other side of the mist. Sugar-Plum Fairy, revealing that, through the long ages of Candia, since the arrival of the Bulbian Church, she has sought to avoid the fate of the other spirits of the Sweetening Path, and hide Candia's magic away where no one else could find it. Beyond Calorum, and it seems, to the Princess Ruby, beyond life itself. The shadow of Jet has spoken to you softly across whispers. Here, in this strange place, you draw your bow. When it becomes clear that the Sugar-Plum Fairy, through the mortal workings that were under her command, had been steering your family, to what degree, you cannot know, into ruin, so that when you arrived here, seeking the shadow of your sister, her offer to follow the Sweet Road into the mist would be as tempting as possible. You draw your bow, and as you go for your weapon, I assume everyone else goes for their weapons, as well. The Sugar-Plum Fairy widens her eyes. (sucking in breath) (booming) The chamber freezes. You feel powerful magic move through time, faster than you can see the hundreds of faces that this spirit has worn. Dozens of sweet voices ring out.

0:03:13 Sugar-Plum Fairy: My true form, you wish to see? Let it never be said that a fairy did not grant wishes.

0:03:30 Siobhan: Ee!

0:03:30 Emily: Oh, shit.

0:03:32 Ally: It's gonna be...

0:03:32 Emily: It's really small. It's really small.

0:03:33 Ally: It's really small. Brennan brings out a cool, many-winged and many-faced mini on a pole. It is not small.

0:03:35 All: No!

0:03:35 Ally: Okay.

0:03:38 Brennan: Sugar Plum Fairy appears.

0:03:40 Siobhan: So many faces.

0:03:40 Brennan: So many faces, so many wings. The true form of the Sugar Plum Fairy appears.

0:03:49 Ally: Ah, cool.

0:03:53 Brennan: On a Nat 20 Initiative.

0:03:56 Siobhan: Oh, shit.

0:03:56 Zac: Mm.

0:03:57 Murph: What?

0:03:57 Emily: Well that means nothing. When we roll a Nat 20 Initiative, it doesn't help.

0:04:02 Brennan: Well, did anyone got higher than a 23?

0:04:04 Zac: I got a 21.

0:04:06 Emily: Okay, she did well. Brennan gets out a plastic, triangle-shaped measurer for an area of effect.

0:04:07 Ally: Oh, put that down. Oh, put that down.

0:04:11 Siobhan: It's cold.

0:04:13 Lou: At least Jon Bon's safe. No! Jon Bon!

0:04:16 Ally: Jon Bon.

0:04:17 Siobhan: Is Liam safe? No.

0:04:19 Brennan: No, Liam's not safe.

0:04:22 Lou: I don't think anybody's safe.

0:04:22 Brennan: That's everybody. (tense music)

0:04:26 Zac: Can we move our minis to different spots?

0:04:28 Lou: Yeah.

0:04:29 Ally: Oh, I was actually just about to move my mini, too.

0:04:31 Siobhan: Yeah, I was gonna move mini...

0:04:31 Brennan: Oh, is that so?

0:04:33 Lou: Yeah. I was walking down the path, I was like 100% in.

0:04:34 Siobhan: Yeah, I was actually gonna be right there.

0:04:35 Brennan: Very cool, that's fascinating. I'm gonna need everybody here to make a Constitution save.

0:04:40 Siobhan: Constitution?

0:04:40 Emily: Counterspell.

0:04:43 Brennan: Counterspell?

0:04:43 Siobhan: Oh, yes please.

0:04:45 Brennan: You're not surprised, that is true. Hold on one moment. Counterspell.

0:04:51 Emily: I believe I have to roll well.

0:04:53 Brennan: If the creature's casting a spell at 3rd level or lower, the spell fails and has no effect. If it's casting a spell 4th level or higher make an ability check. Using your spell casting ability, the DC equals 10 plus the spell's level.

0:05:05 Emily: I would like to use a 5th level Counterspell.

0:05:07 Brennan: Very well. You need to make-

0:05:10 Ally: Oh.

0:05:12 Emily: I still have to make the fucking thing?

0:05:14 Brennan: She's using a higher level spell slot to cast the spell.

0:05:16 Emily: Damn!

0:05:18 Brennan: The DC for this check is going to be 17. Ability check using your spell- So you're just rolling a flat Charisma check here. You have a plus 5, you need a 12 or higher. I'm gonna go ahead and say that this is a Box of Doom roll, for sure.

0:05:37 Siobhan: Yep, all right.

0:05:37 Lou: That sucks.

0:05:38 Siobhan: That's fair.

0:05:40 Ally: 12 or higher. Do you have some hot dice?

0:05:44 Emily: No. Can Ally roll for me?

0:05:48 Brennan: If you want Ally to roll for you...

0:05:49 Ally: What if it's bad?

0:05:51 Emily: Yeah, that's too much pressure to put on you.

0:05:54 Brennan: 12 or higher.

0:05:54 Ally: It would be a nat 1 or a nat 20.

0:05:59 Emily: Ah, missed it!

0:06:00 Brennan: In the Box, it's gotta be in the Box, it's gotta be in the Box.

0:06:02 Ally: It was a 17 on the crystal. (dramatic music)

0:06:06 Ally: 17 again!

0:06:06 Brennan: 17! (all yelling)

0:06:10 Saccharina: Suck it, bitch! Suck ice, bitch, I know ice better than you!

0:06:15 Brennan: Okay, so 8d8 damage to every member of your party disappears in a burst of thunder and ice.

0:06:24 Theobald: I stan an Ice Queen.

0:06:26 Saccharina: You know what? I think I earned this.

0:06:27 Emily: And I finally put the crown on.

0:06:32 Brennan: (screaming in frustration) Ahhhhhhh!

0:06:36 Emily: Oh my God.

0:06:36 Ally: Fuck you, Brennan.

0:06:38 Zac: Why did you want that so bad?

0:06:40 Brennan: I was gonna get all of you! Okay.

0:06:43 Ally: Then the episode would just be over?

0:06:44 Emily: You did take my only 5th level spell slot.

0:06:47 Ally: Wow. That's crazy that you even had that. I didn't know that about you.

0:06:52 Brennan: Whoo.

0:06:53 Lou: I didn't know you could do something like that.

0:06:54 Ally: I didn't know that about you.

0:06:56 Brennan: Well, it looks like the battle has to happen after all.

0:07:02 Siobhan: [unrepentantly] Sorry.

0:07:02 Brennan: [mockingly] Sorry! [lifts a sheet of paper up to read] What else can you do?

0:07:07 Zac: That was...

0:07:07 Siobhan: Hey, Ally, can you read anything on the back of that card?

0:07:09 Ally: Yeah, I just saw the word...

0:07:09 Brennan: Quiet!

0:07:14 Emily: Wait, did I roll a 17 again? I rolled a 17 in the crags, and then, a 17 here again. [kisses her die]

0:07:18 Ally: Mm-hmm. Hot dice. Hot s'mores dice.

0:07:22 Emily: [to the die] Thank you.

0:07:25 Brennan: Okay.

0:07:28 Ally: She's probably just gonna grab that egg and hand it to me, right?

0:07:31 Siobhan: Yeah, that's probably what's gonna happen here.

0:07:36 Brennan: Zooms away, rising up. (roaring breathily) Yeah, Saccharina, you stretch forward, and snatch that spell out of the air.

0:07:48 Emily: Just for flavor, I know that this isn't actually happening, but I pretend I'm drinking it in and it's making me stronger.

0:07:53 Brennan: It very much is. That's, you smashed...

0:07:55 Theobald: She drinks the spell. I've never seen anything like it.

0:08:00 Ruby: I hate that it's cool.

0:08:03 Brennan: Cumulous, that's gonna be you.

0:08:04 Zac: Can I just check how far, like, I can- I know I can get to here, we just talked about this, but I wanna see if I can get-

0:08:14 Murph: Whoa.

0:08:14 Zac: Here, that's probably too far.

0:08:18 Brennan: You can do a 66 foot long jump, which means that 66 divided by 5 is 13? So you can do a 13 inch long jump.

0:08:33 Zac: From there?

0:08:33 Brennan: Yeah, actually, if you have the movement, because this is 10 feet, which means you have a 10 foot running start. So you could jump to that ice cream plinth, and then probably to the next one, as well.

0:08:43 Zac: Hmm.

0:08:45 Brennan: What is your high jump? You would certainly have to do a Step of the Wind to be able to do that.

0:08:49 Zac: Yeah, and then I won't have any attacks left, will I, if I do all that?

0:08:53 Brennan: What's your speed?

0:08:55 Zac: 45.

0:08:56 Brennan: You would have an action left. That would just be your movement and bonus action.

0:09:01 Zac: Yeah, if I can get here, and then, jump and attack.

0:09:10 Brennan: Let's see if your movement allows it, hold on one second. So you're doing Step of the Wind, you have the Fluffwind, your Strength is 10, so your long jump is 60 feet, your high jump is 18 feet off the ground, so the question is, that is 5, that is 8, so yeah, that's- You can clear that. So we're just gonna count off- So just go ahead and count off your movement. So from there to there is 9. Okay, so. Yeah, that's- So 45 to there, and then-

0:09:58 Zac: So basically, I can get here and then I'm done is what it seems like.

0:10:01 Brennan: Yeah, and another- Your speed's 45, right?

0:10:03 Zac: Yes.

0:10:03 Brennan: You can just get to there, and have an action.

0:10:08 Zac: But I don't- Yeah, and I can't hit them from there.

0:10:12 Ally: Why, what's your range?

0:10:14 Zac: It's, I have a staff, and they're- I don't know.

0:10:16 Ally: Oh, right, right. You could ready an action.

0:10:18 Zac: Right, I just...

0:10:21 Siobhan: Could you jump again?

0:10:22 Ally: No.

0:10:22 Zac: I think that's it.

0:10:25 Ally: I mean, could you jump to the egg (laughs) if you used your action to double your movement?

0:10:31 Zac: Not from here. 'Cause that's already doubled.

0:10:34 Ally: Gotcha.

0:10:36 Zac: Can I- I wanna hold my action just to maybe get some help from something else.

0:10:42 Brennan: Cool. If you hold your action, you're not gonna have- Actually, you can just delay your turn if you want.

0:10:48 Zac: Hmm. I'm just gonna jump to here.

0:10:52 Brennan: Okay.

0:10:52 Zac: Just to that other side.

0:10:53 Brennan: Let me double check, you're just gonna jump right here?

0:10:55 Zac: Yeah.

0:10:56 Brennan: Okay, is that 45? It's more than 45 away, so you're gonna have to use either your movement and your action, or a movement and a bonus action to get there.

0:11:12 Zac: I'll take a full dash.

0:11:15 Brennan: So you're just gonna take a dash action, great. Yeah, you can do that.

0:11:16 Emily: That's 45 to here, and then, is it 100 to here?

0:11:18 Siobhan: That's so far away.

0:11:23 Brennan: So you take, so yeah, go ahead and hand me Cumulous.

0:11:26 Zac: Oh, could I do a dash, a full dash, and then a Step of the Wind to get to there? Sorry. (laughs) This is complicated.

0:11:38 Brennan: For sure. I'm gonna get this guy out again. Okay, so you're working with, if you do dash, bonus action, and movement, that's 90 plus 45, you have 135 feet of movement, if you use your bonus action, and all you do is run as fast as you can. So 135, to get from there to there, that's 12, so that's 60. From there to there is another 60, so that's 120.

0:12:10 Zac: Can I jump to the spire?

0:12:12 Brennan: You could absolutely get to the spire in one round.

0:12:14 Zac: All right, I'll do it.

0:12:15 Emily: Yes!

0:12:15 Ally: Wow.

0:12:17 Siobhan: Sick.

0:12:17 Brennan: Okay, could someone hand me Cumulous?

0:12:22 Ally: [passing Cumulous’ mini to Brennan] It's so fluffy.

0:12:22 Emily: It's so delicate.

0:12:26 Brennan: Incredible, thank you. Take a little piece of blue tack. [sticks a little tack to the mini] I love when a character is able to do the thing we all want that character to be able to do.

0:12:37 Emily: I know!

0:12:37 Ally: Yes.

0:12:38 Brennan: Okay, you end your movement right here, resting on your staff, and see- And you can feel the cold wrapping around this egg because of the deep heat at the center of it, trying to freeze this egg. That is your turn.

0:12:55 Zac: Okay.

0:12:56 Brennan: At the end of your turn.

0:12:58 Murph: Yikes.

0:12:59 Zac: Yeah, I thought something like this would happen. I just wanted to get over there.

0:13:04 Ally: I mean, I'm amazed, 'cause there's no way I'll even be able, I mean, maybe I could get to the first Popsicle, and then nothing.

0:13:10 Emily: I bet they'll move around, though.

0:13:11 Ally: That would be sick.

0:13:12 Siobhan: Yeah, I have kind of an idea, but it's real shenanigansy.

0:13:18 Brennan: Hold on one second.

0:13:19 Ally: You Mage Hand the egg over and we leave?

0:13:21 Siobhan: Yes. I think- I think that my Mage Hand's-

0:13:25 Emily: Your Mage Hand can withstand the heat of a dragon. It can't be more than five pounds, right?

0:13:31 Siobhan: Eh, yeah, no, that seems pretty light. I think that we need to melt the egg. (Ally whistling)

0:13:34 Brennan: Okay.

0:13:37 Lou: Okay...

0:13:40 Zac: She's got like legendary actions and stuff?

0:13:42 Brennan: That she do. At the end of your turn, she's gonna take a legendary action.

0:13:46 Ally: Fuck!

0:13:48 Ruby: Don't come after my distant cousin. (cast laughs)

0:13:53 Brennan: She hits you with a Ray of Frost for 14, 22, 27 points of damage.

0:14:04 Zac: Do I have any- Do I make any saves on that or anything?

0:14:07 Brennan: She makes a spell attack roll, and she hit your armor class.

0:14:09 Zac: I'm sorry, how much again?

0:14:09 Ally: 27.

0:14:11 Brennan: 27. (spell whooshing) Blasts you with frost.

0:14:13 Zac: It's a lot.

0:14:17 Brennan: I'm going to need a Constitution saving throw from Cumulous.

0:14:20 Zac: Okay. Oh, I don't have- Yeah. Motherfucker. I, oh, 9.

0:14:32 Ally: Can you get advantage from the egg?

0:14:35 Siobhan: Yeah, that's a great question. Brennan gives them a pointed look while rolling a large number of dice.

0:14:37 Ally: Can you get advantage from the egg?

0:14:40 Lou: I said, can he get advantage from the egg!

0:14:42 Ally: For the last time, Brennan, I hear you rolling all those dice.

0:14:44 Siobhan: Stop rolling those dice and answer our question.

0:14:47 Ally: The egg, can it give him advantage?

0:14:51 Brennan: 32, 44.

0:14:51 Zac: Cumulous is down.

0:14:54 Brennan: 54.

0:14:55 Murph: Jesus.

0:14:55 Emily: What?

0:14:57 Brennan: The Sugar Plum Fairy calls out to the Temple itself, and as you land, at the end of your fastest sprinting movement, an enormous 20-foot icicle falls from the ceiling, and impales you for 52 points of damage.

0:15:14 Zac: That's a Con save, not a Dex save?

0:15:16 Brennan: That is a Constitution save.

0:15:21 Zac: So, he's down.

0:15:24 Brennan: I'm going to need you to- I'm going to need you to roll to see which direction you fall.

0:15:33 Emily: No!

0:15:34 Brennan: So we're gonna say this. We're gonna roll a 1d6. (tense music)

0:15:38 Brennan: A 1 or a 6 means you fall straight down on the spot where you are. A 5 means you fall in towards the egg, 2, 3, 4 are the bad ones. You don't want 2, 3, or 4. And actually, we're gonna do Box of Doom for this.

0:15:57 Ally: Goddamn it. This game sucks!

0:16:02 Murph: Let's play Scrabble.

0:16:03 Ally: Let's play some, let's play some...

0:16:05 Emily: Bring back Scrabble.

0:16:05 Lou: Season 6 of Dimension Scrabble is-

0:16:07 Ally: It's just us playing Catan.

0:16:08 Lou: — just us playing Sorry! and that's as aggressive as it gets.

0:16:10 Brennan: So you want a 1, a 5, or a 6.

0:16:13 Ally: Let's get a 5.

0:16:15 Brennan: That's a 5.

0:16:15 Ally: Yeah!

0:16:18 Emily: What's that mean? Where does that mean you're going to fall?

0:16:19 Ally: Oh, fuck yeah.

0:16:19 Murph: He just, he doesn't fall. Oh, that’s the best one.

0:16:20 Ally: He falls towards the egg, he falls inside. Yeah, you're like, protected. Zac groans and puts his face in his hands.

0:16:24 Saccharina: Cumulous!

0:16:24 Ally: Yo, that sucked.

0:16:26 Saccharina: I'm coming to you.

0:16:29 Zac: That sucks.

0:16:32 Brennan: Cool. Cumulous, you are going to just collapse. So you sprint, and whoom! You guys watch Cumulous is just the whole side of his body, (ice shattering) as he tumbles, unconscious, into the chamber of the egg. That is going to be Liam.

0:16:52 Ally: Great. I take out my crossbow, and I take a shot on this.

0:16:58 Brennan: Awesome. The fairy has already acted, so you don't get Assassinate.

0:17:02 Ally: Yeah, right.

0:17:04 Brennan: So I guess you're just attacking from hiding, is that right?

0:17:06 Ally: Yeah.

0:17:07 Brennan: Okay. Let's see the, what's the range on your crossbow?

0:17:11 Ally: 400 max.

0:17:12 Brennan: Short range is 100.

0:17:12 Ally: Mm-hmm. Oh, I can't do long range?

0:17:17 Brennan: So you're gonna actually roll with disadvantage.

0:17:19 Ally: If it's long range?

0:17:20 Brennan: Yeah, you're past your short range. You can still hit, but you're gonna roll disadvantage.

0:17:23 Ally: Okay, so if I already had advantage, then that just cancels it out.

0:17:26 Brennan: It cancels out.

0:17:26 Ally: Okay.

0:17:27 Brennan: Which means that you won't get Sneak Attack on this one, but you will, also, you've taken another level in Ranger. This is your greater favored enemy. This is Celestial.

0:17:35 Ally: Oh, no way!

0:17:35 Brennan: Yes, absolutely.

0:17:36 Ally: Oh, cool, so then that is...

0:17:38 Brennan: So you'll be dealing plus 6, or yeah, however much-

0:17:41 Ally: Yeah.

0:17:42 Brennan: Cool, so go ahead, you're rolling with neither advantage nor disadvantage.

0:17:46 Ally: Oh, and I get three attacks, right?

0:17:48 Brennan: Yeah, so just, oh, yeah, you can roll all three attacks.

0:17:49 Ally: I'll just roll all three?

0:17:50 Brennan: Yeah, go for it.

0:17:52 Ally: (whistling) That's a 13, a 16 and a 21.

0:17:56 Brennan: A 13, a 16, and a 21.

0:17:56 Siobhan: With your- Did you do math?

0:17:59 Ally: Oh, wait, sorry, I'm sorry. A 14, a 17 and a 22.

0:18:03 Brennan: A 14, a 17 and a 22.

0:18:06 Ally: Let me see if Greater Favored Enemy added anything to that?

0:18:10 Brennan: One of those hits.

0:18:13 Murph: Okay, so 22.

0:18:15 Zac: Is Hunter's Mark a bonus action?

0:18:17 Murph: So we saw, when Cumulous went down, it looked like the- Did it look like she commanded something or did it look just like part of the lair fell on him?

0:18:27 Brennan: It looked like part of the lair fell on him.

0:18:29 Murph: Okay.

0:18:30 Emily: Oh, so that wasn't even her doing. We're just in an unsafe environment.

0:18:32 Brennan: She commands this, you're in an unstable space. But yes, absolutely.

0:18:38 Ally: So no Sneak Attack, right?

0:18:40 Brennan: No Sneak Attack.

0:18:43 Ally: Yep. Hey, that is 11 plus 8, 19.

0:18:52 Brennan: 19 damage, hell yeah.

0:18:53 Ally: And then I use my bonus action to cast Hunter's Mark.

0:18:57 Murph: Oh, great.

0:18:57 Brennan: Hell yeah. Are you within range? What's the range on it?

0:19:00 Ally: Oh, that's 90 feet, I guess not. Okay.

0:19:03 Brennan: Oh, sorry, hold on. You may not even hit.

0:19:06 Ally: Really?

0:19:08 Brennan: (sigh) Hold on one second.

0:19:13 Ally: I'm gonna need another Red Bull in here. (laughs)

0:19:22 Brennan: Your aim is true, and as your arrow hits, there is a flutter of masks and wings, and some of her illusion disappears. It did not strike true.

0:19:35 Emily: Oh, she's got Mirror Image.

0:19:35 Murph: Mirror Image.

0:19:38 Ally: Oh my gosh, wait, Brennan.

0:19:40 Brennan: Yes.

0:19:42 Ally: She gave me a teacup, she had a teacup that had the thing that made Preston fly in it, right?

0:19:48 Brennan: You left a Peppermint Heart seed at her altar, yeah.

0:19:51 Ally: Is that near me right now?

0:19:53 Brennan: She gave it to you, and gave the note...

0:19:55 Ally: That made Preston fly, right?

0:19:56 Brennan: Yeah, it did.

0:19:58 Ally: I eat that. I eat that weird nut. Does it do anything?

0:20:04 Emily: Liam has indigestion.

0:20:07 Ally: I eat a Sambuca lozenge and then...

0:20:09 Theobald: Liam, did you just pop a mint?

0:20:10 Brennan: I will- You are completely able to eat this nut right now. It may not make you fly.

0:20:20 Ally: Interesting, but that doesn't sound like it won't, you're not saying it won't make me fly.

0:20:24 Brennan: I didn't say it won't make you fly.

0:20:26 Ally: I just run straight forward and I jump off the edge.

0:20:29 Brennan: Okay, hold on one second. You took your attacks.

0:20:32 Murph: Towards a Popsicle, right?

0:20:33 Brennan: You took your attacks.

0:20:33 Ally: Yeah, I did.

0:20:34 Brennan: You did your damage.

0:20:36 Ally: This is all movement, honey.

0:20:38 Brennan: This is all movement.

0:20:39 Ally: No, nevermind, I'll save this for next round.

0:20:42 Brennan: Hold on just one second, gang.

0:20:44 Lou: Hot, so hot.

0:20:46 Siobhan: Liam farts his way to the angel.

0:20:50 Zac: He farts and then he just dies.

0:20:53 Ally: I fart a seed out.

0:20:54 Lou: We just hear like a soft pit like poots and toots as you slowly descend.

0:20:59 Ally: As I slowly die in front of everybody.

0:21:04 Brennan: So Liam, yes, you've taken your actions. Are you taking a movement or a bonus action?

0:21:07 Ally: Just the movement it takes to put that seed in my mouth.

0:21:11 Brennan: Dope, great.

0:21:12 Ally: Can I jump up, can I test it out with my movement?

0:21:16 Murph: Just like do a little pop...

0:21:18 Ally: Can I just do a little jump and see if I pop a little bit further and higher?

0:21:21 Brennan: Okay, you pop this seed in your mouth.

0:21:21 Ally: The magic seed.

0:21:25 Brennan: You eat the magic seed that made Preston fly. We're gonna do this, so you've already done that. No takebacks. We're gonna roll in the Box of Doom. On a Nat 20, you get to tell me what spell you just cast. On anything else, we're gonna roll on the Wild Magic Surge Table.

0:21:45 Ally: Okay.

0:21:45 Emily: Wait, Wild Magic Surge Table has flying stuff on it.

0:21:48 Murph: Yeah, it does.

0:21:48 Siobhan: Yeah.

0:21:49 Brennan: On a 20, you get your wish. On anything else, you roll Wild Magic.

0:21:53 Murph: Guaranteed Nat 20, guaranteed. (dramatic music)

0:21:56 Ally: 10, no, fucker!

0:21:56 Murph: Fuck!

0:21:58 Emily: It's okay, the Wild Magic Surge still has a lot of good things.

0:22:01 Siobhan: I think it's mostly good things. Also...

0:22:03 Lou: Your energy when you said that, literally...

0:22:03 Ally: Was like a 20?

0:22:05 Lou: It was like this weird, like I couldn't breathe for a second.

0:22:09 Ally: Ugh, God.

0:22:10 Siobhan: You could just turn blue or into a potted plant.

0:22:13 Ally: Here's the 20. [rolls again]

0:22:15 Murph: 20, 14.

0:22:16 Ally: Interesting.

0:22:17 Lou: Maybe we talked a little bit too much-

0:22:19 Ally: We really talked up my rolling game.

0:22:23 Brennan: Okay, real, real quick here.

0:22:24 Emily: We should stop talking about it so it doesn't feel shy.

0:22:26 Lou: Just let it happen.

0:22:26 Emily: And it'll come back. Yeah.

0:22:27 Lou: It's there. It's shy right now.

0:22:30 Emily: Honestly, Ally? You're like a pretty mediocre roller.

0:22:32 Ally: Yeah, that's true.

0:22:33 Zac: Hey, prove us wrong.

0:22:35 Ally: Yeah, maybe one day, I don't know.

0:22:37 Lou: Honestly you should- So when it comes to rolling again, it's just like, you were weak.

0:22:42 Emily: What if you just grow feathers, what is it, featherbearding?

0:22:43 Brennan: Every-

0:22:43 Siobhan: Fuck.

0:22:45 Brennan: Creature within 30 feet of you vanishes, becomes invisible.

0:22:49 Siobhan: What, yes! (all yelling)

0:22:51 Emily: That means we all have advantage!

0:22:53 Brennan: You pop the seed, you're like, “I wanna fly”, but deep in your heart, you don't wanna fly.

0:22:58 Ally: No.

0:22:58 Brennan: You want to move unseen through the world, and strike back at people. So everyone within 30 feet of you is invisible. We're gonna see how many-

0:23:07 Emily: Is it Invisibility or Greater Invisibility?

0:23:08 Brennan: It's just invisibility.

0:23:08 Emily: Okay.

0:23:10 Murph: So once we attack, we pop out.

0:23:12 Siobhan: Oh, right, yes.

0:23:12 Emily: Greater Invisibility-

0:23:13 Ally: It's including me, right?

0:23:15 Brennan: That's everybody, even Saccharina.

0:23:16 Murph: Wow.

0:23:16 Siobhan: Crazy.

0:23:16 Zac: Uhh. Must be nice-

0:23:17 Emily: Oh, I'm double invisible now.

0:23:17 Ally: You're dead and we all just got free invisibility?

0:23:20 Brennan: Cool, Liam, okay, so Liam, any movement that turn or no?

0:23:25 Ally: Just to be like (dances), just do like an end zone dance.

0:23:28 Brennan: Great. Incredible.

0:23:30 Theobald: We can't see you, but I hear you shuffling, Liam.

0:23:34 Ally: It's just heavy breathing.

0:23:36 Saccharina: Are you doing an end zone dance?

0:23:38 Liam: Yeah, exactly.

0:23:38 Brennan: Okay.

0:23:41 Saccharina: Me too!

0:23:41 Brennan: Great, great, great. The end of that… Ally continues to roll dice.

0:23:46 Murph: Are you trying to get a Nat 20?

0:23:47 Ally: Yeah. (laughs) I just have to know that I can do it.

0:23:49 Emily: No, no, no, and now it's shy.

0:23:51 Ally: Oh, yeah, you're right.

0:23:51 Lou: The luck got shy. Siobhan rolls a die in the fashion that Ally usually does (very quickly and with their entire arm).

0:23:53 Ally: Was it a 20?

0:23:55 Siobhan: But I am throwing like Ally for this, this battle. [rolls again] I did roll a Nat 20!

0:24:04 Zac: Guys-

0:24:04 Lou: It's moved.

0:24:05 Zac: Guys!

0:24:06 Brennan: That's going to be Ruby.

0:24:06 Siobhan: Ooh! Hmm, all right. How far away is she from me?

0:24:14 Brennan: Very far. She's probably a little bit more than 100 feet away.

0:24:17 Siobhan: Like less than 120, though, right?

0:24:19 Brennan: Let's find out. 120 would be 2 feet, right?

0:24:25 Zac: 2 feet?

0:24:28 Brennan: She's within 2 feet. She's within 120.

0:24:29 Siobhan: Great. Then, I think I would like to cast Chill Touch on her, which is an attack roll from me, but we have advantage, right, because we're invisible? Or does that not count for the spells?

0:24:42 Brennan: Unfortunately, it seems that your invisibility...

0:24:46 Siobhan: Oh, right, I would lose my invisibility if I fucking do anything.

0:24:48 Brennan: Correct.

0:24:49 Siobhan: Shit. But there's nothing I can do if I can't attack.

0:24:53 Brennan: Go ahead and give me an Insight check.

0:24:59 Siobhan: 11?

0:25:01 Brennan: Yeah, you can't- You're pretty invisible, and there's this fucking thing.

0:25:07 Siobhan: Shit. I already have my Mage Hand cast, 'cause we used it for the thing?

0:25:12 Brennan: Yep.

0:25:12 Siobhan: The traps? What's the length of my Mage Hand?

0:25:18 Brennan: What are you intending to do with it? Just because that might...

0:25:20 Siobhan: I wanna tie a rope around the Orange Creamsicle.

0:25:22 Brennan: [mysteriously] Hmm, that's fun. Lou scoffs at Brennan.

0:25:26 Siobhan: Mistake? It's pretty fun, I think.

0:25:28 Lou: Who is this guy?

0:25:28 Ally: Who is this guy?

0:25:29 Siobhan: Seems pretty fun.

0:25:30 Emily: That sounds threatening.

0:25:32 Lou: [sarcastic] Yeah, ooh, yeah, fun idea.

0:25:34 Emily: That sounds fun.

0:25:35 Ally: I wanna play a game.

0:25:37 Murph: He's fucking sick.

0:25:38 Ally: [like Bane] I was born in the darkness.

0:25:38 Brennan: [to the camera, tapping his forehead] Sick in the head.

0:25:41 Ally: Great.

0:25:41 Emily: It does seem like Brennan is having the most fun so far.

0:25:47 Brennan: [laughs] The range is 30 feet on Mage Hand.

0:25:48 Siobhan: Yeah.

0:25:50 Murph: You can move, get closer, although...

0:25:54 Siobhan: Hmm.

0:25:55 Brennan: [mildly] Actually, you'd be within 30 feet if you jumped off the edge.

0:26:00 Siobhan: Would I be able to be-

0:26:00 Zac: You’re sick. (Brennan laughs)

0:26:00 Siobhan: Close enough to 30 feet of it to be able to tie a knot with the Mage Hand?

0:26:09 Brennan: You have a Mage Hand that can pick locks. You certainly have a Mage Hand that can tie the end of a rope. (tense music)

0:26:14 Brennan: (grinning) The question is if you wanna take the risk of jumping off the edge and tying it-

0:26:17 Lou: His tone!

0:26:17 Zac: Can you jump...

0:26:18 Siobhan: I mean...

0:26:18 Murph: You can jump and Misty Step, right?

0:26:19 Siobhan: I- Yeah, but if I cast Misty Step, I'll become uninvisible but I do have Feather Fall if I fuck up.

0:26:26 Murph: Okay.

0:26:26 Siobhan: And I could use...

0:26:27 Emily: You don't know what is in the mysterious fog.

0:26:30 Murph: True.

0:26:30 Siobhan: And I can use Yak to give me advantage.

0:26:33 Murph: Cool.

0:26:33 Siobhan: So I'm gonna fucking try it.

0:26:37 Brennan: Cool. You take a leap off the edge. We're gonna call it just a DC15 Sleight of Hand check to tie a knot capable of holding you up.

0:26:46 Siobhan: I got... That's great. Ooh, I do it! I have plus 13 to Sleight of Hand. I rolled a 2 and a 4.

0:26:52 Lou: [fanning himself] Jesus, that's a 2 and a 4. Oh my God.

0:26:55 Ally: Really?

0:26:56 Lou: It was the scariest- I don't know the math.

0:26:58 Ally: What do you have added to Sleight of Hand?

0:27:00 Siobhan: I have plus 13 in Sleight of Hand.

0:27:02 Lou: Jesus.

0:27:02 Ally: Wow.

0:27:03 Emily: As a former rogue I was like, “yeah, she can get it”.

0:27:06 Brennan: Incredible acrobatics.

0:27:06 Zac: I'm so stressed out.

0:27:10 Ally: You're dead.

0:27:10 Emily: I know.

0:27:12 Brennan: Okay, Ruby, you sail, hurl the rope. You guys just see Ruby begin to fall into the mist.

0:27:18 Siobhan: You guys don't see fucking anything.

0:27:19 Brennan: Oh, that's right, you're invisible.

0:27:20 Siobhan: Nobody sees nothing.

0:27:21 Brennan: So just, yeah, you begin to swing, you tie the rope so that means that...

0:27:30 Siobhan: That's 50 feet of rope.

0:27:32 Brennan: Yeah, incredible.

0:27:36 Siobhan: So what I wanna try and do is use all of my circus skills to basically swing from there up to that cone there right there.

0:27:50 Brennan: Okay, the most you can go is your movement still.

0:27:54 Siobhan: Yes, but that is, that's just my five year plan.

0:27:59 Murph: Right.

0:27:59 Brennan: Yes, yes, yes, absolutely.

0:27:59 Lou: Good to have.

0:28:03 Brennan: So we're gonna, so you can go, and you have 35, right?

0:28:05 Siobhan: Yes.

0:28:05 Brennan: So you can go 70, this...

0:28:09 Siobhan: Well, I can go, plus I have a dash. Oh, no, I used my bonus action to do the- Yeah, so I can do 70.

0:28:14 Brennan: 70 from here. Okay. You... (sighing) Okay, okay, okay, this is all good. Everything here's good.

0:28:26 Siobhan: Seems pretty good to me.

0:28:27 Brennan: Seems pretty good.

0:28:27 Siobhan: Seems pretty fun. I'm having a good time.

0:28:29 Brennan: Pretty fun. Could you hand me Ruby? Cool. Ruby invisibly...

0:28:40 Emily: So this is within 50 feet of this? [pointing to two ice cream platforms in the mist]

0:28:44 Siobhan: It's 60 feet, but I can...

0:28:46 Ally: 60 feet...

0:28:46 Siobhan: Maybe jump that last 10 feet, also.

0:28:50 Brennan: You invisibly sail, snag the end of that Popsicle, which you can feel kind of moves under your weight, but stays horizontal, and (whistles) swing like a trapeze artist, invisibly through the mist, and you can hear the distant cheers of a group of women screaming soft and distant cheering and applauding behind you.

0:29:15 Siobhan: I cry.

0:29:19 Brennan: Amazing. Cool, that's your turn. At the end of your turn...

0:29:26 Zac: She might just be able to see invisible people?

0:29:30 Siobhan: She couldn't- She couldn't see Saccharina. She said, “I can't see you, but I can sense you”.

0:29:36 Brennan: But I believe Saccharina had cast Greater Invisibility, right?

0:29:39 Emily: No, regular Invisibility.

0:29:42 Brennan: [pauses] Then I may have made a mistake.

0:29:44 Emily: Oh.

0:29:44 Ally: Interesting.

0:29:45 Emily: Okay, so she can see invisibility.

0:29:47 Siobhan: All right, well, nevertheless—

0:29:47 Murph: She wasn't in her final form.

0:29:51 Siobhan: I feel pretty cool right now, and I don't know that. So...

0:29:53 Emily: Celebrate the victories.

0:29:56 Siobhan: Yeah, I'm having a good, fun time.

0:29:58 Lou: Right now, we're winning, dude. I mean, no… Brennan measures something on the board.

0:29:59 Siobhan: Shit.

0:30:00 Ally: Oh, yeah, we're winning.

0:30:02 Lou: I take it back, I take it back. Oh, why'd I say that?

0:30:04 Ally: Why’d you say it? Brennan rolls a handful of dice.

0:30:08 Siobhan: No, no, no, no, that's too many dice. Lou snickers.

0:30:13 Brennan: You take 15 points of cold damage.

0:30:16 Siobhan: Is that a...

0:30:18 Zac: Uncanny Dodge?

0:30:19 Siobhan: Can I Uncanny Dodge that?

0:30:20 Brennan: You absolutely can.

0:30:20 Siobhan: Great.

0:30:22 Zac: But there's also probably the fucking...

0:30:24 Siobhan: So back down to 7?

0:30:24 Zac: Icicles.

0:30:28 Murph: They are somewhere, yeah.

0:30:30 Brennan: You see, she holds out her hand. Ice blasts toward you, as she screams,

0:30:37 Sugar-Plum Fairy: I just want to take you somewhere where you will be safe.

0:30:44 Ruby: No.

0:30:46 Brennan: Faces just switch, switch, switch.

0:30:48 Theobald: Don't shoot her while she's swinging. That's circus rules 101. It's not safe at all. It's the opposite of safe.

0:30:54 Brennan: Amethar, that's you.

0:30:57 Amethar: Though I can't see you, Saccharina, do you need help jumping?

0:31:01 Saccharina: [smilingly] No, thank you, though.

0:31:03 Amethar: Great.

0:31:03 Lou: I take two steps... I just walk toward the edge of the platform, and then, just,

0:31:09 Amethar: Hey, I could tell why you don't use this form, cause you're ugly as hell!

0:31:17 Lou: And then, I'm just gonna throw a javelin.

0:31:19 Ruby: Dad, that's not very feminist of you.

0:31:21 Amethar: I don't think she's a woman.

0:31:21 Ruby: Dad!

0:31:24 Saccharina: Honestly, I turned my back on you, I didn't like you, but now you're back in my good graces.

0:31:28 Amethar: We got a lot of work to do.

0:31:31 Brennan: Okay, I'm gonna see what the max range for a javelin is. It might not be able to reach where she's at.

0:31:38 Lou: Great.

0:31:38 Brennan: The max range- Oh, the max range is 120.

0:31:41 Murph: Nice.

0:31:41 Ally: Oh, yeah, you got it, we've measured that.

0:31:44 Brennan: We've measured that? Yeah, she's within 2 feet. Okay, then you're rolling with disadvantage.

0:31:47 Lou: Great, that's fine.

0:31:49 Murph: That's fine, guaranteed hit. We got this right now, do it.

0:31:54 Lou: That's a plus, yeah, that's plus 9. So 19?

0:32:00 Ally: Hey.

0:32:01 Brennan: 19 does not hit.

0:32:02 Murph: Fuck.

0:32:02 Siobhan: Fuck. (air whooshing)

0:32:03 Zac: Interesting.

0:32:05 Brennan: Disappears.

0:32:07 Amethar: You're so ugly my javelin is avoiding you! [quietly to Ruby] Again, I don't think this is unfeminist. I don't think she's a woman.

0:32:15 Liam: Is this your standup?

0:32:15 Saccharina: I don't, I don't think it either.

0:32:18 Theobald: Are you roasting her?

0:32:19 Amethar: I don't want her to hit other people.

0:32:19 Theobald: Oh, I get it. We're in a freezer, so we need to roast her.

0:32:23 Amethar: Yeah, let's cook her!

0:32:25 Theobald: [unconvincingly] I think your wings look ridiculous.

0:32:32 Brennan: Okay, you do actually- No, I'm sorry, it does not hurt her, but some more of her illusion vanishes. You (whooshing) and strip...

0:32:39 Emily: Mirror Image.

0:32:42 Brennan: Strip some more of her illusion away.

0:32:44 Emily: Fuck! She shouldn’t be-

0:32:45 Brennan: That is your action. You can attack twice with javelins.

0:32:50 Amethar: Oh, let's go again.

0:32:51 Saccharina: (laughs) Roast her!

0:32:55 Lou: It's gonna be just 10 this time. Or excuse me, 12.

0:32:59 Brennan: Okay. Cool, great. That is gonna- That's Amethar's turn. Any more movement from you, or no?

0:33:09 Lou: I guess, she's not doing piercing or bludgeoning damage. So I'll save the ray for now.

0:33:16 Brennan: Cool. At the end of Amethar's turn- (dramatic music)

0:33:25 Murph: Yikes.

0:33:33 Brennan: 14 cold damage to Ruby from the Sugar Plum Fairy.

0:33:36 Siobhan: Fuck, and I can't- I already Uncanny Dodged.

0:33:38 Brennan: You already used your reaction, yeah.

0:33:40 Siobhan: Well. (air whooshing) Shit.

0:33:45 Brennan: As her outstretched hand keeps just pumping cold into your body, that's Amethar, Theo, that's you.

0:33:54 Murph: Oh, boy, this is a bad situation. (clicking tongue) I can't really get close to her, kinda no matter what I do. I-

0:34:09 Brennan: Give me an Arcana check, if you'd like, or you can give me an Insight check.

0:34:14 Murph: Okay. Oh, sweet. 22.

0:34:23 Brennan: The magic of this temple is a hoard of treasure, and much like a dragon, the Sugar Plum Fairy sits atop it, but she is not it, and forces beyond her can move the plinths of this place and as you look at them, you remember an afternoon tea many years ago, the first time that the Archmage Lazuli asked you to sit with her, and give your thoughts about arcane texts that she had read, and you remember something she said in that moment about magic and its nature. She said,

0:35:01 Lazuli: The world in all of its splendor and mystery is moved by the thoughts and will of its children.

0:35:12 Brennan: You think that these things are moving based on magical forces here, and you think that magical people might be able to affect them.

0:35:25 Murph: Sweet. I relay that to the gang.

0:35:30 Lou: Okay.

0:35:34 Murph: And then, oh boy, what am I gonna try here? Can I- I might wait and see, (humming) I might hold my turn until after Saccharina, 'cause I have a feeling she'll do some crazy shit, and that'll change the battlefield. So I'm going to stay put and hold my turn, if that's okay.

0:35:59 Brennan: Okay. So you're just gonna delay your turn?

0:36:02 Murph: I'm just gonna delay my turn.

0:36:03 Brennan: Okay, you delay. Saccharina, that's you. Your goons actually go before you, but they're delaying to see if you want help actions from them, or if you have any commands for them.

0:36:13 Murph: [to Emily] I am also a goon.

0:36:15 Emily: I do. Well, first, what I need to know is, how far is it from here to here?

0:36:23 Brennan: I think it's 120.

0:36:24 Zac: It's around 120.

0:36:25 Emily: It's 120, and would that be the same from here to here?

0:36:28 Brennan: Go ahead and let's measure. Cool. So from there to here is about 20 inches, which means it's about 100 feet.

0:36:37 Emily: (laughs) Okay, what I would like to do, is for Gooey to bring Theo over here. And then, I'm gonna run over here and jump my Strength and then cast Thunder Step to bring me and Theo- Oh, wait, we couldn't both occupy this space?

0:37:01 Brennan: I would just need Acrobatics checks from you guys.

0:37:04 Murph: Oh God.

0:37:04 Emily: Oh, we're both, we're both in heavy armor, that's not gonna happen. Then...

0:37:08 Murph: We might be able to move our thing if you wanna just get us to a pop.

0:37:12 Emily: That's what I was gonna do, that's the other option. Okay, so I'm still gonna use Gooey to bring Theo closer. Actually, oh, wait, I don't even need Gooey to do that. So if I'm here, then, oh, but I wanna get away from everyone.

0:37:25 Brennan: Remember that Theo's also held his turn to act.

0:37:27 Emily: Oh, right!

0:37:27 Murph: Do you want me to just...

0:37:29 Emily: Okay. I'm going to just get away from everyone, so that when I Thunder Step, no one gets hurt by the thunder damage.

0:37:37 Brennan: Okay.

0:37:38 Emily: And then, tell Theo to come with me, and then, we're gonna Thunder Step onto here.

0:37:45 Murph: Sweet, I'll use my movement to run over to Saccharina.

0:37:47 Brennan: Hell yeah.

0:37:49 Emily: And I'm gonna go ahead and make that a- I'm gonna go ahead, so yeah, so we Thunder Step.

0:37:56 Brennan: Hell yeah.

0:37:57 Emily: And I'm gonna go ahead and use Quicken Spell to make that a bonus action so I still have an action.

0:38:02 Brennan: Great.

0:38:03 Emily: And what I'm gonna do is, I'm gonna take the spoon, and I'm gonna scoop as if I'm paddling this as a canoe toward that. Murph’s jaw drops, and he laughs wheezingly.

0:38:14 Brennan: All I need from you- You have the Winter Scoop. I just need a DC10 Wisdom check with advantage.

0:38:21 Murph: Whoa.

0:38:21 Emily: Okay, okay. Wow.

0:38:25 Murph: [whispers] The power of magic.

0:38:32 Emily: I got it!

0:38:34 Brennan: Incredible, so you use Sorcery, bonus action, Thunder Step, you and Theo are both there. How many- You used about 4 things of movement? You have your action left, so you're using your action to...

0:38:46 Emily: Do I need to use a whole action to do that?

0:38:48 Brennan: 'Cause if you want to move even farther, you have to use movement to do it, so yes, in this case, your action is paddling the thing. You can move 30 feet in any direction, except up or down. So it remains at that height, but you can move 30 feet anywhere you want.

0:39:01 Emily: Yeah, we'll move 30 feet forward.

0:39:04 Zac: Will that carry Ruby, too?

0:39:06 Emily: Yeah, I think...

0:39:06 Siobhan: That might fuck me up.

0:39:10 Brennan: It actually will just move your upswing closer to the tower.

0:39:14 Siobhan: Okay, then great.

0:39:15 Ally: Oh, you guys, these are in ascending order height. [Brennan makes whooshing noises]

0:39:21 Emily: Yeah, look at that.

0:39:21 Murph: Mm.

0:39:24 Brennan: You shoot here, Ruby, you're over here now. And then we're gonna put Yak back where Yak was, because Yak was flying.

0:39:36 Emily: Oh, you probably still have a whole action.

0:39:38 Murph: I do.

0:39:41 Emily: 'Cause all you did was take like two steps.

0:39:43 Brennan: Yeah, you moved, yeah, you see- You just plunged the Winter Scoop into the mist, and whoom! Like a huge long board, this swirling Popsicle underneath you surges forward and you mis...

0:39:54 Saccharina: I'm a sailor, but I'm also a paddleboarder.

0:39:58 Zac: Did they go?

0:39:59 Emily: Oh, yeah, and then I'll tell them to jump on, 'cause they can jump here, right?

0:40:05 Brennan: Yeah, they absolutely can.

0:40:06 Emily: I tell them to jump onto that.

0:40:07 Brennan: Awesome, you guys wanna move Gooey, Swifty and Jon Bon.

0:40:14 Siobhan: Look at Swifty's little hat!

0:40:18 Brennan: They all are gonna try...

0:40:19 Emily: Look at my motley crew.

0:40:21 Brennan: A plus 1, none of them make the Wisdom check to move the thing. You see, Swifty's like,

0:40:27 Swifty: I don't know how she does it, it's crazy to me.

0:40:32 Brennan: Gooey's like,

0:40:32 Gooey: Help me paddle this thing!

0:40:34 Brennan: And Jon Bon just goes,

0:40:34 Jon Bon: Ohm.

0:40:38 Brennan: And tries to do it that way.

0:40:39 Emily: I just assume that they're doing a really good job and making things happen, 'cause they're gesticulating a lot, so I feel very proud.

0:40:45 Brennan: Incredible. Okay.

0:40:49 Murph: I guess I'll go now.

0:40:50 Brennan: Cool, yeah, go for it.

0:40:52 Murph: I wanna yell down to Ruby,

0:40:52 Theobald: Ruby, you cool down there? You want me to pull you up?

0:40:57 Ruby: I'm fine, thank you.

0:40:58 Theobald: Alright.

0:41:00 Murph: Can I- I guess, okay, do I want to try to pull one of those things closer to me? Is that gonna be helpful?

0:41:15 Zac: Do you have to be on the plinth?

0:41:18 Siobhan: I think you have to be on the plinth to move it.

0:41:20 Murph: Got it.

0:41:20 Ally: We don't know.

0:41:21 Zac: We don't know.

0:41:21 Lou: We don't know.

0:41:22 Ally: You could do a roll.

0:41:22 Murph: Yeah.

0:41:24 Lou: Oh, we can roll.

0:41:26 Murph: But what...

0:41:26 Emily: Oh, I do wanna make sure I shout to them to orient it so it's here.

0:41:31 Brennan: Okay, gotcha.

0:41:32 Murph: How far is she from me right now?

0:41:35 Brennan: Right now, she is 60 feet away from you.

0:41:41 Murph: I am going- You know what? Maybe I'll try to use-

0:41:43 Theobald: Are you cool to go closer to her?

0:41:48 Saccharina: To go closer to her?

0:41:49 Theobald: Right?

0:41:50 Saccharina: Yeah, why not?

0:41:50 Theobald: Why not, right?

0:41:51 Murph: I'm gonna start moving it towards this, if I can.

0:41:54 Brennan: If you do that, you will send Ruby crashing into the tower underneath.

0:41:57 Murph: Oh, okay. I don't wanna do that. Well, well, well, well. Right on, right on, cool, cool, cool. Very good stuff. I'm gonna cast Protection from Evil and Good on my queen.

0:42:15 Theobald: My queen.

0:42:16 Ally: [like Theo] My queen.

0:42:16 Saccharina: Oh, thank you.

0:42:18 Ally: My queen.

0:42:19 Brennan: Who's got Concentration spells active right now?

0:42:22 Siobhan: Ooh.

0:42:22 Murph: I do now.

0:42:23 Emily: I don't.

0:42:24 Siobhan: Not me.

0:42:24 Brennan: I think it's, yeah, it's just a little protection from our boy Theobald.

0:42:34 Murph: Okay, so that's that. I'm trying to think if- Oh, you know what? Nah, you know what? I'll wait and do that. Okay. That, I think, is my turn. I'm just gonna sit and wait.

0:42:49 Brennan: Okay.

0:42:50 Murph: So just Protection from Evil and Good on Saccharina.

0:42:53 Emily: Yes! Ooh, it sounds so bad. Brennan gets out his area of effect measuring triangle again.

0:42:56 Zac: I think we're about to get fucked up.

0:42:58 Murph: Oh, fuck me.

0:42:59 Siobhan: Oh no! Have you used your reaction?

0:43:07 Brennan: Okay. Comes here, and from here, that's gonna hit all of you. I'm going to need Constitution saving throws from Saccharina, Theobald and Ruby.

0:43:25 Siobhan: Why is this not a Dex save?

0:43:26 Emily: Would Protection from Good and Evil mean I have advantage on that Constitution saving throw?

0:43:29 Brennan: It would mean you have advantage on that, yes.

0:43:31 Ally: Nice.

0:43:31 Emily: I don't know though, maybe I should just-

0:43:34 Murph: You could, it's...

0:43:34 Zac: Is it a new turn for you?

0:43:37 Emily: Oh, yeah, I still have- I have a new reaction. I'm gonna Counterspell.

0:43:44 Brennan: Okay. Your counterspell- What level's your counterspell at?

0:43:51 Murph: I don't know if I'd waste a higher level...

0:43:52 Emily: Yeah, I'm not gonna.

0:43:52 Murph: For the roll.

0:43:55 Emily: Okay, I'll do a- I'm not gonna get it. Oh, well, I have to try. I'll do a 3rd level.

0:44:00 Brennan: And she's casting this as a 5th level, which means that it's- You're just trying to hit a DC15, so once again- Oh, no, it's still plus 5, so a 10 or higher.

0:44:14 Ally: You got this.

0:44:18 Murph: Yes!

0:44:18 Emily: Yeah!

0:44:18 Siobhan: Yeah.

0:44:20 Brennan: [incredulously] 19?

0:44:21 Ally: 19?

0:44:21 Theobald: My queen. (Emily laughing)

0:44:22 Ally: Hell yeah. Brennan rubs his face with both hands.

0:44:24 Emily: Once again, I suck it in. [slurping]

0:44:27 Ruby: How does that taste?

0:44:29 Saccharina: Minty. (laughs) Brennan is shaking his head.

0:44:32 Zac: Why do you want it to happen?

0:44:34 Brennan: Every turn she, (yelling in angry gibberish). I'm over here, I got a bad guy, and I can't do nothing. Once again, she goes to unleash the fury of the frozen temple on you, and nothing. Incredible.

0:44:55 Emily: I mean, we also haven't hit her yet, so.

0:44:57 Brennan: That's right. This is- Yeah, she is going to go ahead and remain right there where she is. That is going to be a death saving throw from Cumulous.

0:45:24 Zac: No, I'm gonna use this one. 2.

0:45:28 Brennan: That's a failure.

0:45:30 Siobhan: [whispering] Fuck.

0:45:32 Brennan: At the end of Cumulous' turn, she is going to attack Theobald, that's a hit. Theobald, you take...

0:45:49 Murph: Is it cold damage?

0:45:51 Brennan: It is cold damage.

0:45:52 Murph: I'm gonna cast Absorb Elements.

0:45:54 Emily: Yeah, baby.

0:45:54 Murph: And it's a reaction, so I'm gonna take half of this.

0:46:00 Brennan: Okay.

0:46:01 Murph: And then I'll do more cold damage on my next turn.

0:46:04 Brennan: Incredible. 8 plus 7 is 15, halved to 7. (glass shattering) You put up an arcane ward against this celestial fae entity. I'm gonna need a Concentration check.

0:46:20 Murph: Okay. So that's a Con saving throw?

0:46:23 Brennan: Con save. DC10.

0:46:27 Murph: Okay man, I just have to not roll a 1, which is...

0:46:30 Siobhan: Stop cursing yourself.

0:46:33 Murph: I know. I rolled a 3.

0:46:38 Brennan: You maintain concentration. (Emily clapping)

0:46:41 Lou: It's not a 1.

0:46:43 Brennan: I'm gonna need a Constitution saving throw from Theobald as well.

0:46:48 Murph: Shit.

0:46:48 Siobhan: Shit.

0:46:49 Brennan: Oh, sorry, no, no, I don't. I'm wrong.

0:46:51 Murph: Okay, good.

0:46:52 Brennan: She is going to- Who all is within what kind of range of her right now? Oh, Ruby. You see she looks down at you in the mist, and goes, (gasping) and she is in your mind. And she says,

0:47:15 Sugar-Plum Fairy: You came to me in the glade. Wherever you go, I go.

0:47:24 Brennan: And you feel a scream from Jet off in the mist, and you feel a connection as though this thing was stitching its shadow to you with magic. That is going to be...

0:47:43 Ally: You put your head against this.

0:47:46 Brennan: That's gonna be Liam.

0:47:48 Emily: She borrowed Jet's body for this…

0:47:49 Siobhan: I’m gonna get this bitch.

0:47:49 Ally: Okay, I am going to try to move a cone that I'm not on.

0:47:56 Brennan: As a free action, that will not work. You don't have to roll anything. You can tell that you need to be making contact with it to affect it.

0:48:02 Ally: Okay. Cool, cool, cool. Then I'm going to take two shots with disadvantage on her again, like long range.

0:48:11 Brennan: Awesome, go for it.

0:48:12 Zac: Can you...

0:48:12 Siobhan: Yeah, why don't you jump on this guy and then go across?

0:48:19 Ally: Well, I can't jump from that to that.

0:48:21 Siobhan: No, but you can move this one.

0:48:24 Ally: But that just needs to end up right there anyway. What we need to do is start stacking them if we wanna climb up.

0:48:29 Murph: I think we're...

0:48:29 Siobhan: We're already in that process. If you can get to this one, you can attack her more easily.

0:48:38 Ally: Interesting.

0:48:39 Siobhan: I'm almost there.

0:48:40 Ally: And then I wouldn't need to use disadvantage.

0:48:41 Murph: The rest of us are all up there. If you wanna wait for Amethar, you guys can both jump on the Popsicle.

0:48:44 Siobhan: Yeah.

0:48:46 Ally: Eh, no, I'll just jump on the Popsicle, I guess.

0:48:49 Brennan: Okay, give me your movement. So that's gonna be 30, right?

0:48:52 Murph: Hey Brennan, Brennan—

0:48:54 Zac: But if you move it, he'll be stuck back there. That's the only thing.

0:48:58 Ally: I'm not gonna move it. I'll just jump on.

0:48:59 Murph: But if you just chill on the Popsicle, that'll...

0:49:00 Brennan: Okay, so you probably need to take a bonus action dash to get to- You don't need to roll to jump to it. It's within your jumping distance, but you are gonna need to use a bonus, you can't get there in one movement, so you have to use your movement...

0:49:12 Ally: Oh, okay, even though it's not- Difficult terrain doesn't affect me?

0:49:16 Brennan: No, you're all groovy. It's just more than 30 feet away.

0:49:19 Ally: Okay, I'll use a bonus action, then, to get there.

0:49:21 Brennan: Cool. So you have your action back. Someone pass Liam over here? And then, I think, actually, you might not be at disadvantage.

0:49:30 Ally: Yeah, yeah, I'm in 100, right?

0:49:32 Brennan: 100, yeah, let's see.

0:49:33 Ally: Oh, cool.

0:49:35 Brennan: Oh, yeah, you're, she's firmly within range now, so you can- You jump to the thing and start firing without disadvantage.

0:49:41 Ally: So then, does that give me advantage again?

0:49:43 Brennan: No, 'cause you're not hiding, there's no place to hide out here.

0:49:46 Siobhan: Did you bring that measuring tape from home?

0:49:48 Brennan: No. Rick Perry and the fantastic production team here at Dimension 20 gave us tape measures, because this battle ain't got no ground, and we don't got dots. Cool. Go ahead and give me those attacks.

0:50:01 Ally: Am I 90 feet from- I already used my bonus action. Ay, yi, yi, I'm so sorry.

0:50:06 Brennan: It's okay.

0:50:06 Ally: All right. Honey.

0:50:07 Siobhan: You can use the rest of it as movement, just use your action as movement.

0:50:14 Murph: But then Amethar would get left behind.

0:50:15 Ally: Yeah.

0:50:15 Siobhan: Oh, yeah, you're right. But you can hold it, hold your action to move when Amethar gets on.

0:50:20 Ally: Oh, true. Interesting.

0:50:22 Siobhan: And get Amethar closer?

0:50:25 Ally: I'll just attack. I mean, that's, that's my freaking thing.

0:50:29 Brennan: Cool, for it.

0:50:30 Ally: I'm gonna use...

0:50:31 Murph: Yeah, we gotta hit her eventually.

0:50:31 Siobhan: Yeah, you're right.

0:50:32 Ally: First attack, I'm just gonna do crossbow.

0:50:35 Brennan: Okay.

0:50:37 Ally: So. It's 15.

0:50:39 Brennan: To hit? 15 does not hit.

0:50:41 Zac: You don't add anything to that? Oh.

0:50:44 Ally: Okay, second one, I'm gonna try to cast Ice Knife. Is that a roll?

0:50:48 Brennan: Sorry, one second. Oh, 15 to hit gets rid of her last Mirror Image.

0:50:56 Murph: Nice.

0:50:56 Ally: Oh, hell, yeah, great. Oh, her last Mirror Image? Awesome.

0:50:59 Brennan: Yeah.

0:51:00 Ally: Okay, now, I'm gonna cast Ice Knife in a...

0:51:02 Brennan: You can't cast, that's an action, and you just took an attack with your...

0:51:07 Ally: Oh, oh, okay.

0:51:08 Brennan: So you just take your second attack.

0:51:09 Ally: Interesting. So what was one of these other ones? I should've…

0:51:12 Brennan: If you've already taken a regular attack with your crossbow, the only thing you can do is attack a second time.

0:51:18 Ally: Oh, yeah, I was trying to think of Hail of Thorns. Is that another casting?

0:51:20 Brennan: The only thing you can do is attack a second time, because those spells are different from the attack action. You only get two crossbow shots, if you're just taking the attack action.

0:51:29 Ally: Oh, okay, cool, cool.

0:51:33 Murph: Fuck!

0:51:33 Ally: Nat 1.

0:51:36 Brennan: Those crossbow bolts fly out across the misty expanse.

0:51:40 Ally: Can I do an Insight check to see if she's afraid of anything?

0:51:45 Brennan: Sure.

0:51:48 Ally: [ashamed] It's a 12.

0:51:50 Brennan: 12? She's mad at you. You think she's...

0:51:54 Liam: Everyone's mad at me!

0:51:55 Brennan: You think she's mad at you.

0:51:56 Lou: Remember when that was Liam's thing? Back when he had a pig and he was nice?

0:51:58 Liam: I don't think she likes me very much.

0:52:02 Brennan: That's going to be- The Sugar Plum Fairy's going to fire, and misses Saccharina.

0:52:12 Emily: Thanks to the Protection...

0:52:13 Brennan: Thanks to the Protection from Good and Evil.

0:52:16 Saccharina: I didn't even Counterspell that one. [waves] Sugar-Plum Fairy screams.

0:52:21 Brennan: Just like faces twirling.

0:52:22 Saccharina: I just wanna make sure you knew, I didn't Counterspell that.

0:52:24 Sugar-Plum Fairy: What is wrong with you? You're so charming, but I'm not into it.

0:52:31 Saccharina: I get that a lot.

0:52:33 Brennan: (laughs) You see that she, yeah, she fucking misses. You're surrounded by arcane energy.

0:52:41 Ally: You have like a healing spell, right?

0:52:42 Brennan: That's gonna be Ruby.

0:52:42 Emily: Yeah, I'm trying to get to Cumulous.

0:52:45 Siobhan: Me?

0:52:45 Brennan: Yep.

0:52:48 Siobhan: Do I have enough swing on this rope left to get up to where Cumulous is?

0:52:55 Brennan: You're still swinging on it, yeah, absolutely.

0:52:56 Siobhan: Then I'll do that.

0:52:58 Brennan: Cool.

0:53:00 Murph: Nice.

0:53:01 Saccharina: Oh, sweet, do you have cure stuff?

0:53:03 Ruby: I don't, but I can at least do stuff with the egg.

0:53:06 Brennan: With one movement, you make it to Cumulous.

0:53:08 Siobhan: Great. Okay. I'd like to Investigate the egg, please.

0:53:14 Brennan: Give me an Investigation check.

0:53:15 Siobhan: Great.

0:53:16 Ally: Can you get a help from your hawk?

0:53:18 Siobhan: Or Insight, can I do an Insight check?

0:53:21 Brennan: Sure.

0:53:22 Siobhan: Great. 18.

0:53:26 Brennan: This egg- The outside is cold, but even as you touch it, you can sense a deep rumbling warmth from within. And you see Cumulous' body collapse over the top of it.

0:53:38 Siobhan: Okay. I wanna make sure, first of all, that I'm in this little alcove that the egg is in, so that if something falls on top of me-

0:53:50 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

0:53:50 Murph: You don't go down.

0:53:52 Siobhan: I don't go down.

0:53:54 Brennan: Okay, you're gonna, your movement ended right at the lip, so you'll have to take a bonus action to move further inside.

0:53:59 Siobhan: That's fine, I have...

0:54:01 Brennan: Cunning Action?

0:54:01 Siobhan: Cunning Action.

0:54:02 Brennan: Cool. You are all the way in there.

0:54:06 Siobhan: I'd like to- So I'd like to tie the end of the rope to Cumulous.

0:54:14 Brennan: Okay.

0:54:14 Siobhan: And I'd like to push him over the edge. Zac presses his fingers to his temple with an offended look.

0:54:15 Siobhan: 'Cause he, tied to the other end of the rope is Creamsicle-

0:54:19 Zac: Excuse me?

0:54:22 Siobhan: So they can grab Cumulous.

0:54:24 Murph: Oh.

0:54:24 Emily: Oh, I was gonna get to him anyways.

0:54:27 Siobhan: Yeah, yeah, but this will be...

0:54:28 Emily: Okay.

0:54:28 Siobhan: I think this is easier. Then you focus on- You can stay where you are, focus on what you're doing.

0:54:33 Brennan: All right, so I'm gonna need a Sleight of Hand check from you.

0:54:36 Siobhan: Great. 32.

0:54:41 Brennan: Great. You wrap a- You use your action to tie a rope around Cumulous' midsection...

0:54:50 Theobald: Careful, he already has rope burn!

0:54:53 Brennan: And you hoist his unconscious body out into the mist. Zac, with a dead sort of look on his face, mimics falling with a whoosh.

0:55:01 Murph: Just stops so hard. (grunting)

0:55:03 Brennan: Where is Yak flying, by the way?

0:55:05 Siobhan: [sadly] Oh. Um...

0:55:10 Murph: [laughs] You fucking monster.

0:55:12 Siobhan: Can I actually...

0:55:12 Brennan: [calmly, but definitely threateningly] Where's your little bird?

0:55:15 Siobhan: Yeah, can I send Yak down into the mist?

0:55:18 Brennan: Sure.

0:55:19 Ally: He can give Cumulous the help action on his next saving throw.

0:55:21 Siobhan: Yeah, I guess, I'll send Yak to help Cumulous deep in the mist.

0:55:27 Brennan: Okay, go ahead and make a Medicine check for, uh, [flatly] your bird. DC15, he gets a minus 1, 16 or higher.

0:55:37 Siobhan: Well, he does not make that.

0:55:38 Brennan: The bird does not help Cumulous' medical condition.

0:55:42 Ally: Oh, well, you can't give Cumulous the help action on his saving throw?

0:55:45 Brennan: I didn't let you give it to Jet when she was dying. I'm not gonna let the bird give it to Cumulous.

0:55:51 Ally: [laughing] Interesting, very interesting.

0:55:56 Murph: Okay!

0:55:58 Brennan: Seems weird, seems fucked up.

0:55:58 Siobhan: I agree to disagree.

0:55:59 Murph: Seems weird that a bird can't do CPR, but okay.

0:56:03 Brennan: Trying to just gauge the logic here.

0:56:05 Siobhan: Are you telling me a bird can't save a man's life?

0:56:08 Murph: Was trying to figure this out, but...

0:56:08 Brennan: Incredible. You push Cumulous out.

0:56:12 Siobhan: Is that everything...

0:56:13 Brennan: That's all your actions.

0:56:14 Ally: [to Zac] I can't wait to rewatch your face when that was first pitched. “I tie a rope around Cumulous, and I shove him out of the cove”. “What?”

0:56:25 Siobhan: I'm trying to get you to our one healer.

0:56:27 Zac: Sure, sure, sure.

0:56:29 Brennan: I don't- Does- Absorb Elements only works once, correct?

0:56:31 Murph: It is for the rest of my turn.

0:56:33 Brennan: Oh, shit.

0:56:33 Murph: The rest of the round.

0:56:34 Brennan: Okay, she blasts you again with 10, with 22 points of cold damage.

0:56:41 Murph: So 11.

0:56:41 Brennan: Halved to 11.

0:56:43 Murph: Sweet.

0:56:45 Ally: Wow, what a stock. (Murph laughing)

0:56:49 Brennan: Okay. That's going to be Amethar.

0:56:52 Lou: Great, can I jump onto the last little piece of this?

0:56:56 Brennan: Absolutely, go ahead and jump on board.

0:56:59 Lou: Great, and then, yeah, can I slam Payday into it, and attempt to wish it- Will it forward?

0:57:08 Brennan: Yeah, give me a Wisdom check.

0:57:10 Lou: Great. That's 11?

0:57:17 Brennan: What did I say before, DC10?

0:57:18 Murph: 10.

0:57:19 Brennan: Yeah, you jam Payment Day into the ice cream. Go ahead and move it the rest of your movement.

0:57:23 Murph: Hell yeah, dude.

0:57:23 Lou: Great. How much, so what...

0:57:26 Brennan: You took like 15 and your movement's 40, so another 25 feet of movement. Go ahead and move it that far.

0:57:33 Lou: Great, so just...

0:57:34 Ally: Maybe towards the Creamsicle?

0:57:36 Lou: Great.

0:57:36 Ally: Instead of towards the...

0:57:37 Brennan: Oh, this way?

0:57:37 Ally: Big scary frost cone?

0:57:39 Brennan: Yeah, I'm gonna circle you guys around, so you're. (Siobhan singing)

0:57:45 Amethar: This is dumb as hell.

0:57:47 Lou: And then, can I even still- I can still use my attack?

0:57:52 Brennan: That's your movement, yeah, so you can use your attack.

0:57:55 Lou: Can I dash- Nah, I mean, yeah, two javelins.

0:57:59 Brennan: Go for it. Now no longer with disadvantage.

0:58:02 Lou: Great.

0:58:02 Murph: Sweet.

0:58:05 Lou: 20?

0:58:07 Brennan: 20 does not- Or 20 does not hit.

0:58:10 Murph: Shit.

0:58:11 Lou: 20 does not hit, what a wild time. What about 23?

0:58:16 Brennan: 23 hits.

0:58:19 Lou: Okay. Yeah. That'll be 8.

0:58:26 Brennan: 8 points of damage?

0:58:27 Lou: Mm-hm.

0:58:28 Brennan: Ruby, you take 4 points of damage. Sorry, make a Constitution Saving throw. (tense music)

0:58:35 Emily: Wait, what did you just attack again?

0:58:38 Siobhan: I got an 11.

0:58:39 Brennan: You take 4 points of damage.

0:58:41 Siobhan: Uncanny Dodge.

0:58:43 Brennan: You cannot Uncanny Dodge this.

0:58:45 Siobhan: All right. (tense music)

0:58:47 Siobhan: That's fine.

0:58:48 Brennan: You feel the pain of the Sugar-Plum Fairy, and a wound where your father just hit her with a javelin opens up in your body.

0:58:56 Ally: What the fuck?

0:58:58 Ruby: If you hit her, it hurts me.

0:59:01 Amethar: What? Oh come on!

0:59:05 Ruby: It's okay, you didn't hit her very well, Dad.

0:59:07 Amethar: Okay, rude.

0:59:08 Ruby: I hope you're okay with that razzing.

0:59:10 Amethar: Hey, that was pretty good, guys.

0:59:11 Saccharina: Maybe it's just killing a part of you, though.

0:59:13 Ruby: Mm, a part of me that hurts me and gives me damage.

0:59:17 Saccharina: Nah, I'm just spitballing. (Ally and Siobhan laugh)

0:59:19 Ruby: Alright.

0:59:21 Liam: Eh, it's a part of you you didn't need, what, a gash in your leg? Nonsense.

0:59:24 Brennan: Okay. That is going to now, do you wanna- So your second attack?

0:59:30 Lou: I used both, one was 20, one was 23.

0:59:33 Brennan: Yes, that's right. Theo, that's gonna be you.

0:59:36 Murph: I'm gonna hold my turn until after Saccharina.

0:59:37 Liam: (whip sound)

0:59:38 Brennan: Saccharina, that's gonna be you.

0:59:41 Emily: Here is what I'd like to do.

0:59:43 Theobald: Easy, Liam.

0:59:43 Ally: I get so sassy.

0:59:44 Emily: So I'd to move it 30 more feet towards here.

0:59:49 Brennan: Okay. This one, or, yeah, you right here?

0:59:52 Emily: Yeah, this one.

0:59:52 Brennan: Cool.

0:59:55 Emily: I don't know how far...

0:59:55 Brennan: 30 feet is, yeah. There you go, great.

0:59:59 Emily: So now, what is the distance from here to this ledge?

1:00:03 Brennan: From there to that ledge?

1:00:05 Ally: [holding a striped measuring stick] Let me tell you. (laughs)

1:00:09 Brennan: It's about 20 feet.

1:00:09 Ally: It's about 20 feet. (laughs)

1:00:11 Emily: About 20 feet.

1:00:11 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

1:00:13 Emily: Great. I'm going to cast Healing Word, which gives me 10 feet of flight, and then, with my Strength, use my flight and my jump to be 23 feet.

1:00:28 Brennan: Fuck yeah.

1:00:29 Emily: And then, I'm gonna cast Healing Word on you, I'm gonna do a 4th level.

1:00:31 Ally: Ayyyy!

1:00:34 Zac: Oh, fuck.

1:00:35 Murph: Hell yeah.

1:00:35 Siobhan: Great.

1:00:36 Murph: So you pop up like deep down, he's like down here...

1:00:38 Emily: And I still have an action, because that was, Healing Word is a bonus action.

1:00:43 Zac: How much do I get healed?

1:00:44 Emily: Let me just do- Roll for that.

1:00:46 Murph: You need d4s?

1:00:49 Emily: Let's see, yeah. Okay. Okay, I'm going to use, yeah, actually, that's pretty good. I'll leave that as is. Okay, I give you 8, 11, 12 plus- 21!

1:01:11 Zac: 21?

1:01:11 Ally: Oof! Hell, yeah.

1:01:14 Emily: And then, I still have an action, so I'd like to-

1:01:22 Ally: Crack that egg open.

1:01:22 Emily: How close am I- I'm within 60 feet, right?

1:01:26 Brennan: Yeah.

1:01:27 Emily: I would like to Create Bonfire around the egg.

1:01:32 Brennan: [impressed] Holy shit. Cantrip?

1:01:35 Emily: Cantrip. [wiggling her fingers] I don't even have to use...

1:01:42 Brennan: [yells in frustration, fists clenched] Alright. (Emily laughs)

1:01:45 Brennan: ([ighs deeply] Okay.

1:01:46 Ruby: I was gonna do it, you don't have to s- (sighs)

1:01:48 Saccharina: Sorry-

1:01:50 Ruby: You’re doing it already!

1:01:50 Liam: So for your turn, you shoved our friend off the cliff.

1:01:53 Ruby: I was trying to make- She's the only one-

1:01:55 Liam: And then...

1:01:55 Ruby: That can heal him. I could've done the fire.

1:01:56 Saccharina: Oh, I did heal him.

1:02:00 Liam: Thank God she's our queen.

1:02:02 Saccharina: I just- I guess I assumed that you had more of a bone to pick with the Sugar-Plum Fairy...

1:02:06 Liam: Are we learning right now that you're part evil?

1:02:08 Cumulous: Why am I down here? Hello?

1:02:12 Ruby: I'm taking the locket back from you, Liam.

1:02:14 Liam: Hey, no, please, I'm just sassy tonight.

1:02:14 Ruby: Stop siding with her.

1:02:18 Ally: Liam had a Red Bull.

1:02:20 Brennan: Okay, you cast Create Bon- this is a concentration spell. You cast...

1:02:25 Emily: Okay, so, did I have any, oh, no, I have no concentration spells.

1:02:28 Brennan: You cast Create Bonfire as a Cantrip. This egg has a fire damage threshold of 12. I believe the damage you do with this is 2d8, correct?

1:02:44 Emily: Mm-hmm. (Ally whistling)

1:02:46 Brennan: We're gonna get out the Box...

1:02:46 Zac: Create Bonfire does 2d8?

1:02:48 Emily: Mm-hmm.

1:02:48 Zac: I just assumed it was like not damage.

1:02:50 Ally: Yeah.

1:02:52 Brennan: No, cantrips get fucking dope. So on 2d8, you need to roll a 12 or higher. (tense music)

1:03:03 Ally: Oh fuck. Emily has to lean really far over the table to reach the Box of Doom, and Brennan does not move it any closer to her.

1:03:07 Lou: Brennan's not doing you any favors right now.

1:03:09 Emily: I know, he really isn't. (tense music)

1:03:12 Brennan: 6 and...

1:03:12 Emily: I will reroll- Oh, wait, what is it?

1:03:14 Brennan: That's 6 and 7, that's 13.

1:03:16 Emily: Yes! I made it in, I made it, yay!

1:03:20 Ally: Yes! [Emily sighs deeply]

1:03:22 Brennan: Oh my God.

1:03:23 Emily: I was ready to fucking, Empowered Spellcasting.

1:03:32 Brennan: Saccharina, you land on the ledge. You see Cumulous swing away, Ruby tucked ninja-like into the upper corner.

1:03:43 Emily: But now Cumulous comes back to life as he is swinging.

1:03:46 Cumulous: Hello?

1:03:48 Theobald: It wasn't me with the rope this time.

1:03:50 Cumulous: What happened?

1:03:52 Theobald: You have some more rope burn.

1:03:53 Ruby: It was a good idea.

1:03:57 Cumulous: My stomach hurts.

1:04:00 Ally: Cumulous has six cracked ribs.

1:04:04 Theobald: We keep yanking on him, we need to stop. (tense music)

1:04:10 Brennan: You (fire crackling) call forth fire and flame. (flame whooshing) The bright red light screams like profanity in this place of cold. (dramatic music)

1:04:28 Brennan: The egg (hissing) and hot cocoa steam singes your face and Ruby's, as well. The smell of cinnamon fills the air. You hear (snarling) (cute high-pitched screeching).

1:04:49 Saccharina: I finally have a family.

1:04:51 Zac: Oh. (laughs sadly)

1:04:53 Brennan: Emily, this is for you. [hands her a tiny red dragon mini] [Emily yells in happiness]

1:04:55 Ally: What?

1:04:57 Saccharina: I have a family.

1:05:00 Zac: What is that?

1:05:01 Emily: I mean, I immediately put one of those little dog vests on him.

1:05:07 Zac: A thunder jacket? (hopeful music)

1:05:12 Brennan: The shards of the egg fall, as a bright, I mean, hot cherry, the brightest red you've ever seen, with the interims of his scales- Like where the scales end, you see powerful little chocolate flesh underneath, chocolate skin in between, Hot Tamale cinnamon hard candy wings.

1:05:37 Emily: He's a little Mexican hot chocolate.

1:05:39 Brennan: He's like a little Mexican hot chocolate. You see, as the egg cracks, you- The tiny little Dracoria Azucar, (high-pitched screeching) leaps up and immediately, you can see the cold is hurting it, and it leaps into your arms, up against you.

1:06:10 Emily: (hugging the dragon) I summon all the warmth I can possibly summon.

1:06:13 Brennan: The fire wraps around you, and you see it goes, (snorting) (coughing) and some sparks and a little bit of smoke comes out of its mouth. Could you kindly roll Initiative?

1:06:27 Emily: [high-pitched] For my baby?

1:06:27 Brennan: For your baby.

1:06:29 Ally: Oh my God. Is this the thing I had the dream about?

1:06:32 Brennan: Yes.

1:06:33 Ally: Cool.

1:06:33 Emily: Okay. Oh, I don't even know what to add to it, 14.

1:06:36 Brennan: 14, great. Lovely.

1:06:40 Saccharina: I have a family.

1:06:41 Ally: Fun!

1:06:43 Brennan: Okay, Saccharina, what a fucking turn.

1:06:46 Ally: That was wild.

1:06:46 Brennan: The Sugar-Plum Fairy looks at you, looks at the dragon, and says,

1:06:51 Sugar-Plum Fairy: That [face switches] is [face switches] mine. [face switches many times]

1:06:58 Saccharina: Not anymore.

1:07:01 Brennan: You- (laughs)

1:07:03 Saccharina: I don't know what you named him, but I'll probably come up with something different.

1:07:07 Brennan: You see she just screams with 20 faces, circling around her head.

1:07:12 Ally: She back with Mirror Image?

1:07:14 Brennan: Even without the Mirror Images, she still is a multi-headed thing, a multi-faced thing. That's Saccharina, Theo, were you delaying your turn?

1:07:21 Murph: Yes.

1:07:21 Brennan: Yes, okay.

1:07:21 Murph: Okay, so now, I got Cumulous hanging down here.

1:07:25 Theobald: I'm going on a trip.

1:07:25 Cumulous: What?

1:07:27 Murph: I would like to move the pop closer to her, so I can get into melee range.

1:07:33 Brennan: Did that already move this round?

1:07:36 Murph: Yes?

1:07:36 Brennan: I think...

1:07:37 Emily: Yes, it did.

1:07:37 Brennan: They can only move, you can't have like eight people on one, and shoot across the thing. So it's already made its move.

1:07:45 Murph: Okay.

1:07:46 Emily: Can you Misty Step here, and on your way, attack her?

1:07:50 Murph: That would be nuts. I don't think, I think that's more than 30 feet.

1:07:53 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

1:07:53 Murph: I could probably get up there, oh boy. I guess I have, I have throwing axes, I can just chuck some axes.

1:08:00 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

1:08:02 Siobhan: They have all that cold damage now.

1:08:04 Murph: What's that?

1:08:04 Siobhan: You have the cold damage from...

1:08:05 Murph: I do have cold damage. She probably, she'll love it.

1:08:10 Siobhan: She might love it.

1:08:11 Emily: Do you think if you got to the end of that stick, you could jump, that would 30 feet, and you could Misty Step?

1:08:16 Murph: I don't think it's worth it just to do one attack. I think I should be near you guys, and that way, I can- Okay. So I've got Concentration still going on Protection from Evil and Good. I'm gonna go ahead, and I'll just throw two hand axes.

1:08:28 Brennan: Hell yeah, go for it.

1:08:31 Murph: I'll have Princess help me.

1:08:32 Brennan: Okay.

1:08:33 Murph: The first one, ooh, that's a Nat 1. Good thing I have help, not that it did any good. That's a 13, that's not gonna do anything. Second attack. Come on! That's a fucking 17?

1:08:48 Brennan: 17 does not hit.

1:08:50 Murph: Cool turn.

1:08:51 Brennan: (laughs) Any movement that turn or no?

1:08:55 Murph: No, I'll chill on the Popsicle.

1:08:56 Brennan: Cool. That's you. That's already moved on this turn. Saccharina's goons are gonna make some attacks. Oh my god! Give me a Constitution save.

1:09:14 Siobhan: Me?

1:09:14 Brennan: Ruby, yeah.

1:09:15 Siobhan: Goddamn it. A Nat 1. (whooshing)

1:09:20 Brennan: You take 8 points of damage.

1:09:24 Ruby: Please stop hitting her, it's killing me.

1:09:26 Brennan: You see Jon Bon hurls a throwing ax, and hits the Sugar-Plum Fairy with it.

1:09:32 Siobhan: I'm at 24.

1:09:34 Brennan: Back to the top of the order. (dramatic music)

1:09:43 Zac: Oh, fuck.

1:09:44 Emily: So if this is hurting Ruby, do we just have peace now?

1:09:47 Zac: I don't know. It seems like, is it a Concentration spell?

1:09:51 Murph: It seems like something we could stop.

1:09:53 Lou: Possibly so.

1:09:53 Zac: Can you, does anyone have Dispel?

1:09:58 Emily: To...

1:09:58 Siobhan: Maybe you can Counterspell me, I don't know.

1:10:01 Emily: But, oh, you think it's a spell, oh.

1:10:03 Brennan: I'm gonna need Constitution saving throws from Amethar and Liam.

1:10:07 Emily: I don't think you can Counterspell a spell that's already in effect.

1:10:09 Zac: Can you Dispel Magic?

1:10:10 Emily: No, I don't have Dispel Magic. (tense music)

1:10:12 Murph: Fuck.

1:10:18 Brennan: What did you guys get?

1:10:20 Lou: 25.

1:10:21 Ally: 25 minus 24.

1:10:21 Brennan: You got Nat 1? Whoo, okay. So that's going to be...

1:10:33 Ally: Get outta here. [exiles the nat 1 die by picking it up with a measuring stick and throwing it away]

1:10:38 Brennan: Okay.

1:10:40 Ally: [the die they threw lands] Nat 2.

1:10:46 Brennan: Okay. 8, 14, 18, 30, 41.

1:11:00 Emily: Have we done any magical damage to the Sugar-Plum Fairy?

1:11:04 Brennan: Amethar, you take 20 points of cold damage. Liam, you take 41 points of...

1:11:14 Murph: Okay.

1:11:14 Zac: You don't have any resistance to cold?

1:11:18 Ally: I don't think so.

1:11:20 Brennan: You take 41 points...

1:11:20 Ally: Oh, I have, they're my Greater Favored Enemy, so...

1:11:24 Brennan: So that means you would roll advantage on the saving throw.

1:11:25 Ally: Yeah, cool.

1:11:26 Brennan: So you can roll again to see if you get a different... (Ally whistling)

1:11:31 Ally: Oh, yeah, that's 18.

1:11:33 Brennan: 18 does not do it. You still take 41.

1:11:36 Siobhan: 41? Jesus.

1:11:40 Brennan: Swifty and Gooey look on death's door.

1:11:42 Murph: Shit.

1:11:42 Brennan: Jon Bon's looking okay.

1:11:46 Emily: Oh, no.

1:11:47 Brennan: That is the Sugar-Plum Fairy's turn. Cumulous, that's you, my man.

1:11:55 Murph: Popsicle can move again, right? This is top of the order?

1:11:56 Zac: I think so.

1:11:57 Siobhan: Mm-hmm.

1:11:57 Zac: Do we wanna move it? Yeah. Can I delay my action to move?

1:12:04 Brennan: You can delay your turn initiative if you want.

1:12:05 Murph: Cool.

1:12:05 Zac: Just because it feels like we'll want everyone...

1:12:08 Murph: Be on the same page, if they wanna, although all of us being in the same spot, we all just keep getting...

1:12:11 Siobhan: We could also get to this thing.

1:12:13 Emily: We need to get outta here.

1:12:15 Murph: You wanna just peace, we can do that.

1:12:16 Emily: I just, I mean, I don't know what you guys think. I'm not sure if Ruby's getting hurt because she's made a connection with the Sugar-Plum Fairy.

1:12:25 Zac: Can I make an Insight check on the necklace?

1:12:28 Brennan: Sure, which one?

1:12:29 Zac: The one that Ruby's wearing.

1:12:31 Brennan: Yeah.

1:12:32 Zac: 17.

1:12:34 Brennan: To you, it seems like the connection to Ruby is about to fade, that it is not a permanent thing.

1:12:39 Emily: Oh, okay, cool.

1:12:39 Murph: Okay, so it's just for a certain amount of rounds or something.

1:12:43 Emily: Yeah, so then I guess we should stay and kill this bitch.

1:12:48 Brennan: What's the call?

1:12:49 Zac: Can I get to the Sugar Plum-Fairy this turn?

1:12:52 Brennan: Almost certain, I don't, I think this terrain, to Cumulous, is regular terrain.

1:12:56 Zac: I just, I wanna see if I can, is there a wall here?

1:13:01 Brennan: Open, wide open.

1:13:03 Zac: Okay. Just a game mechanics question. If I miss, will I have another turn before I hit the ground?

1:13:12 Brennan: Theoretically, yes.

1:13:13 Zac: Okay. Yeah, Cumulous is gonna run and jump and try to grapple. (Brennan sighing)

1:13:18 Murph: Brave fool.

1:13:20 Brennan: Okay.

1:13:20 Emily: I love it when your breath parts the fog.

1:13:24 Brennan: Okay. So movement wise, you're gonna have to burn- You're gonna have to bonus action to get over there.

1:13:31 Zac: Okay.

1:13:31 Brennan: 'Cause it's more than 45. But your jump is definitely gonna be okay to do that.

1:13:37 Zac: And leave that thing there, just so y'all can, yeah.

1:13:40 Brennan: Okay. You definitely make it to her. This is gonna be Box of Doom, because if you can't grapple, you will fall.

1:13:46 Zac: Okay.

1:13:48 Murph: Come on, Cumulous.

1:13:51 Brennan: I will...

1:13:51 Zac: I have, it's not the end of the world if I miss.

1:13:56 Brennan: You can also use attacks as grapple checks, so you will have two opportunities to try to hold on.

1:14:01 Zac: Okay. Should I roll in that now?

1:14:04 Brennan: You're gonna roll in this one, I'll tell you what you have to beat. You have to beat a 14.

1:14:08 Zac: Okay.

1:14:11 Brennan: 17.

1:14:11 Ally: Hey!

1:14:13 Brennan: You leap and latch onto the Sugar-Plum Fairy.

1:14:16 Zac: Okay.

1:14:20 Brennan: The connection to Ruby has not yet faded, but will soon fade.

1:14:25 Zac: I can't delay the rest of my attack?

1:14:27 Brennan: Unfortunately, no.

1:14:31 Zac: (sighing) How...

1:14:31 Siobhan: I mean, I'm at 24. I'm, I can take a little bit more damage.

1:14:37 Zac: And you take half of what, it seems like. I will, and so, I would roll another attack? So that counts as one of my attacks?

1:14:45 Brennan: It's one of your attacks. You get another attack now.

1:14:46 Zac: The grapple? Okay. So 27 to hit, and then, I will roll, d8 plus 6. I did 8 damage, and I'm doing a Stunning Strike.

1:15:03 Brennan: Okay, awesome.

1:15:03 Emily: Ooh.

1:15:06 Brennan: Here you are, grappling onto the Sugar-Plum Fairy. Your Mage Slayer instincts just come into effect. This is the kinda thing you were trained to be able to fight. So stun, DC for you is 15. That's a Constitution saving throw. (exciting adventure music) She rolls a Natural- I won't tell you what she rolls naturally, she gets a 14, and burns a legendary resistance to-

1:15:35 Zac: Okay.

1:15:35 Brennan: To come out of stunned.

1:15:36 Zac: And then, I'm going to Flurry.

1:15:38 Brennan: You've used your bonus to Step of the Wind there.

1:15:39 Zac: Ah, okay.

1:15:40 Brennan: But you are latched onto her, and you have all of her fucking attention.

1:15:44 Zac: Okay.

1:15:44 Emily: Oh. Oh, no.

1:15:48 Brennan: Yeah, you have all of her attention. I'm going to need...

1:15:54 Zac: Is she attacking me?

1:15:55 Brennan: She's attacking you.

1:15:56 Zac: I'm gonna use my reaction to, Mage Slayer reaction to attack her.

1:16:00 Emily: Yeah!

1:16:00 Brennan: Oh, shit, is that true? She's not casting a spell.

1:16:03 Zac: So if it's not a spell then no.

1:16:03 Brennan: It's not a spell. She is going to attack you. (tense music)

1:16:14 Brennan: Hits on a 20. Cumulous you take… 8 points of cold damage.

1:16:23 Zac: Okay.

1:16:23 Brennan: And I'm gonna need a Constitution saving throw. (tense music)

1:16:26 Zac: Okay. Is it- Okay, but I don't have advantage. Did not get it.

1:16:40 Brennan: She (hissing) sticks a frozen hand into your stomach and you go paralyzed.

1:16:44 Siobhan: Jesus!

1:16:48 Zac: Still grappling her?

1:16:49 Brennan: Not still grappling her anymore. (tense adventure music)

1:16:51 Brennan: You grab her, and (hissing) her hand goes into you, you are paralyzed. That is, at the beginning of your turn, you begin to fall.

1:17:05 Emily: How many people can you cast Feather Fall on?

1:17:09 Siobhan: It's only a 60 foot range...

1:17:11 Emily: But how many people?

1:17:11 Siobhan: It's 5 people. 5 falling creatures within range. They have to be falling.

1:17:16 Emily: If you trust me, if you hold a reaction, we may be able to help him.

1:17:24 Siobhan: Okay.

1:17:27 Brennan: Hold on one second.

1:17:29 Siobhan: Okay.

1:17:29 Brennan: Okay. That- I'm gonna need a Constitution saving throw from Amethar.

1:17:36 Siobhan: Fuck! (tense music)

1:17:41 Lou: Boom, 25 again.

1:17:46 Brennan: Amethar, you take… 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 53 halved to 26 points of cold damage, as an icicle comes and scores across your back.

1:18:16 Lou: Ooh. (Brennan whooshing) (ice crackling)

1:18:21 Brennan: That's going to be Liam.

1:18:23 Ally: With her grappling and stuff, would that give me advantage on an attack? Although the grappling just ended, but was that quick enough where she would kind of...

1:18:33 Zac: I'm within five feet of her, does that matter?

1:18:35 Brennan: You're paralyzed.

1:18:35 Zac: Okay.

1:18:37 Ally: Mm.

1:18:37 Siobhan: That doesn't, that means that you don't get advantage? You don't get a Sneak Attack? He's still within five feet.

1:18:44 Brennan: I would, I'll allow a Sneak Attack.

1:18:45 Ally: Yeah.

1:18:45 Brennan: I'll say the grapple- I'll allow a Sneak Attack.

1:18:47 Ally: Awesome. Can I do a Perception to see how long this tie to Ruby will last?

1:18:55 Brennan: You feel the tie to Ruby has ended.

1:18:57 Ally: All right. Yeah, that's a 24.

1:19:02 Brennan: Are you attacking with advantage right now?

1:19:03 Ally: Yeah.

1:19:04 Brennan: How are you getting advantage?

1:19:05 Ally: Sneak Attack?

1:19:05 Brennan: Nope. Sneak Attack does not automatically grant advantage.

1:19:09 Ally: Oh!

1:19:09 Brennan: Him being within 5 feet means that you get sneak attack 'cause an ally's within five feet. You also- Advantage is the thing that gives you Sneak Attack. Sneak Attack is not the thing that gives you advantage.

1:19:20 Ally: Oh, okay, okay. What about a creature that is surprised?

1:19:24 Brennan: We are way, a million miles away from the first round of combat, and she wasn't surprised to begin with.

1:19:28 Ally: Oh, it's only first round.

1:19:30 Brennan: Only first round.

1:19:31 Ally: I thought those were two separate things.

1:19:32 Brennan: Nope.

1:19:32 Ally: Oh, okay.

1:19:32 Brennan: So wait, what was the other roll? So those are your two attacks.

1:19:34 Ally: 4.

1:19:35 Brennan: 4, cool. So one was a 4, and what was the other one?

1:19:38 Ally: Oh, no, sorry, one was a 15, and then one was a 20-something.

1:19:43 Zac: 24.

1:19:43 Brennan: Oh, 24 hits. Go ahead and roll damage.

1:19:46 Ally: Okay, cool.

1:19:48 Murph: (sighing) All right.

1:19:49 Ally: Let's see here. Hey.

1:19:53 Murph: You got Sneak Attack, too.

1:19:55 Zac: Oh! I have advantage on spell saves within five feet of me.

1:20:00 Brennan: Wasn't a spell.

1:20:01 Zac: Oh.

1:20:01 Brennan: Yeah.

1:20:02 Zac: Alright.

1:20:02 Ally: Okay. That is 8 plus 13. 21.

1:20:14 Brennan: 21 points of damage? How much damage did you roll?

1:20:16 Ally: I did Sneak Attack-

1:20:16 Brennan: Hell yeah. She screams in pain.

1:20:23 Sugar-Plum Fairy: Ah!

1:20:23 Brennan: As the peppermint bolt pierces her side.

1:20:27 Zac: Can we move that platform? (laughs)

1:20:29 Ally: Yeah, where should...

1:20:31 Siobhan: Underneath Cumulous?

1:20:31 Ally: Under you?

1:20:35 Siobhan: Can you get there?

1:20:35 Brennan: You could, that's within 30 feet, I believe. Go ahead- But you have to give me a Wisdom, a DC10 Wisdom check.

1:20:42 Ally: Should I move it towards Cumulous, or did you have a big plan?

1:20:46 Murph: They're all magical.

1:20:46 Emily: That, I mean, there's no reason not to, I don't think, although then you would be getting everyone closer to her.

1:20:54 Ally: Yeah.

1:20:55 Zac: But then they could maybe attack her.

1:20:56 Emily: Yeah, yeah.

1:20:56 Murph: Why not? That was… The die spins for a very long time before settling.

1:20:59 Ally: Wow.

1:21:00 Murph: Dramatic.

1:21:00 Brennan: It's truly like a Beyblade.

1:21:03 Ally: That was dramatic. 16. (Ally laughs) (Brennan whooshing as he moves the popsicle)

1:21:07 Brennan: And you come right underneath Cumulous.

1:21:10 Emily: So wait, is Cumulous gonna fall in it?

1:21:12 Brennan: He's gonna fall and hit the ice cream.

1:21:14 Emily: Sweet!

1:21:14 Ally: Cool.

1:21:15 Brennan: You like pilot it up like a boat through the mist, as Cumulous begins to fall.

1:21:20 Siobhan: But if you can get me over there anyway, that would also be useful for me.

1:21:24 Emily: I look forward to you asking me that on your turn.

1:21:28 Ruby: We may be sisters, but we're not friends.

1:21:31 Saccharina: Look, I'm not an idiot. I know you were trying to take the dragon.

1:21:35 Ruby: I was trying to wake the dragon, so that we could win. And also, you don't own the dragon!

1:21:43 Saccharina: I will absolutely help you.

1:21:43 Brennan: Liam, you take 25 points of cold damage.

1:21:47 Ally: Great. No saving throw? Oh, I get advantage against celestials.

1:21:52 Brennan: She is hitting you with a spell attack.

1:21:54 Ally: Oh, okay.

1:21:56 Brennan: 25 to you. What is Liam at right now?

1:21:58 Ally: 9.

1:22:00 Brennan: That is going to be Ruby.

1:22:02 Siobhan: Fuck.

1:22:03 Emily: Again, I look at her and I say,

1:22:05 Saccharina: If you trust me, I can help you on my turn, get closer. I don't know if you have advantage, or, I don't know if you're out of range. But you also don't have to trust me.

1:22:17 Ruby: Can you get me to here? [pointing to the next ice cream platform]

1:22:19 Saccharina: I can get you to there.

1:22:20 Ruby: Okay.

1:22:20 Saccharina: Okay.

1:22:22 Ruby: Okay.

1:22:24 Brennan: Are you delaying your action?

1:22:25 Siobhan: I am going to delay my action.

1:22:27 Theobald: I see everyone's really getting along!

1:22:30 Ruby: It's not about you.

1:22:31 Theobald: I didn't say it was.

1:22:33 Ruby: Just implying, making it about, inserting yourself.

1:22:37 Brennan: Okay. Your sweet, little baby dragon nuzzles into your body, and doesn't— it was just born. And let's go ahead, I'm gonna actually need that to put on the board. I am gonna need that to put on the board. Emily is hesitant to pass the mini over, looking concerned.

1:22:53 Brennan: Give me the child.

1:22:55 Emily: A mom needs some time with her child before...

1:22:57 Brennan: [threateningly] Give me the child.

1:22:57 Emily: We go back to work.

1:22:58 Ally: We have to circumcise your dragon. He'll be right back.

1:23:02 Zac: We just have to.

1:23:03 Brennan: We just, we just have to.

1:23:05 Siobhan: Unfortunately.

1:23:06 Emily: He actually was born circumcised.

1:23:08 Siobhan: Wow, that's gross.

1:23:08 Emily: Cinnamon!

1:23:10 Zac: Like a seedless watermelon. (group laughing)

1:23:14 Brennan: He doesn't know what's going on, so he's gonna use his turn just to give you the help action, he doesn't know how he's helping you, he's just, that's the most he can figure out how to do.

1:23:22 Emily: [cry-laughing] No one has ever given me a help action before.

1:23:25 Brennan: Amethar, that's going to be you.

1:23:27 Lou: All right, I know I can't like move it. Would you allow me to spin the Popsicle, so I can stand on this edge next to her?

1:23:37 Brennan: Yeah. Give me an Acrobatics check.

1:23:40 Murph: Oh, God.

1:23:41 Brennan: We're just gonna call it a DC10.

1:23:45 Lou: It's not a saving throw, right? Yeah, it's not.

1:23:47 Brennan: No.

1:23:47 Lou: You were very clear.

1:23:49 Brennan: Very clear.

1:23:49 Lou: DC10?

1:23:51 Brennan: Yeah.

1:23:51 Lou: 14.

1:23:54 Brennan: You do not lose your balance and fall into the mist. You swivel here, I'm trying to think how you're gonna do this. Because you have to catch Cumulous, too.

1:24:07 Lou: Mm.

1:24:07 Brennan: So I think you're gonna like, yeah, I think if you put it right here, you're gonna have to be the one to like catch Cumulous, as you run on the stick.

1:24:20 Lou: Great, so can I go into a rage, and use one thing to grapple Cumulous, and the other to attack her?

1:24:30 Brennan: Yes. Make your first attack, you're just trying to hit Cumulous with this.

1:24:35 Lou: I'm just trying to catch Cumulous.

1:24:37 Brennan: Just trying to catch Cumulous.

1:24:39 Lou: Athletics, so?

1:24:41 Brennan: Athletics, yep, that's gonna be Strength.

1:24:42 Lou: Great, advantage. 13 plus 9.

1:24:47 Brennan: You snatch Cumulous out of the air, and you can put...

1:24:49 Lou: Great. I'll toss him, can I toss him?

1:24:52 Brennan: Yeah, absolutely, in the same motion? Yes, absolutely.

1:24:53 Lou: Yes. And then, sadly, Cumulous and her take 3 fire damage from the rage.

1:25:04 Brennan: Mm-hmm, okay.

1:25:04 Lou: And then, I'll swing on her.

1:25:08 Brennan: Amazing. She does not take 3 fire damage. She takes 6 fire damage.

1:25:11 Lou: Hot damn!

1:25:11 Emily: Yeah! I thought she might be.

1:25:13 Zac: Ooh! Good to know.

1:25:14 Siobhan: Good to know.

1:25:14 Lou: And I will do a reckless attack.

1:25:19 Brennan: Whoo, very cool.

1:25:20 Lou: Great. That's 7 plus 11, 18?

1:25:28 Brennan: 18 does not hit.

1:25:29 Lou: Great, I'm gonna Action Surge.

1:25:30 Brennan: Okay.

1:25:31 Lou: We'll attack again.

1:25:32 Brennan: Keep going reckless?

1:25:34 Lou: Yeah, we'll stay reckless. 16 plu 11. 27.

1:25:41 Brennan: 27 hits.

1:25:42 Lou: So we'll go 4d6. (Ally whistling) Reroll this 2.

1:25:47 Brennan: So you had 4d6?

1:25:49 Lou: It's 2d6 for the damage, and then, plus 2d6 for Payment?

1:25:55 Brennan: Oh, Payment Day is just plus 1d6.

1:25:56 Lou: My apologies.

1:25:56 Brennan: No worries.

1:25:57 Lou: I'll reroll just one. Oh, what is that?

1:25:59 Zac: 2.

1:26:01 Lou: 2, I'll reroll that, sorry. Great, so 11 plus 3, 14 plus 9. 14 plus 9-

1:26:12 Brennan: Is 23.

1:26:12 Lou: 23?

1:26:14 Brennan: Oh my God.

1:26:14 Lou: And then, second attack, and I'll add- I'll add, ah, I won't add anything. I can't trip this person, I'm assuming.

1:26:25 Brennan: No.

1:26:25 Lou: Great. 17 plus-

1:26:28 Brennan: That's gonna hit.

1:26:30 Lou: Great. And 3d6 again. Okay, and 12 plus 9. You know...

1:26:41 Brennan: 21.

1:26:42 Lou: 21.

1:26:43 Brennan: The Sugar-Plum Fairy goes from looking above it all to visibly injured in two strokes of Payment Day, Amethar's sword, [mimics an attack shout] Amethar of the House of Rocks, crown-less and wielding Payment Day.

1:27:00 Amethar: Oh, thank god, I was real tired of throwing javelins.

1:27:03 Brennan: (laughs) Incredible. That is Amethar's turn. Theo, that's gonna be you.

1:27:11 Murph: Sweet. Y'all got your own thing going on, I think. I'm gonna try to move this Popsicle, as close as I can, over to the mix.

1:27:21 Brennan: Cool.

1:27:21 Murph: Get in the mix over here.

1:27:23 Brennan: Give me a Wisdom check.

1:27:25 Emily: Can you Action Surge?

1:27:26 Murph: Can I- I can. Oh boy. That's a bad one, that's only, you know what? I'll use Sprinkle.

1:27:38 Brennan: Sure, or Princess.

1:27:38 Murph: Princess. Okay, great, that's 15.

1:27:45 Brennan: Okay, great. You can move this up to 30 feet.

1:27:48 Murph: Okay, how far does that get me?

1:27:49 Brennan: That's 30 feet right there.

1:27:52 Murph: Okay. Okay.

1:27:57 Zac: Could you take a dash, and then Action Surge?

1:27:58 Murph: Yeah-

1:28:00 Brennan: So that's your movement.

1:28:01 Murph: Right on.

1:28:01 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

1:28:02 Murph: So then, I am going to- Is it 30 feet to this thing?

1:28:10 Emily: Oh, we got a Misty Step, baby!

1:28:13 Brennan: Yep, exactly.

1:28:13 Murph: I'm gonna Misty Step up there.

1:28:15 Brennan: Ooh, hoo!

1:28:19 Emily: Oh, shit.

1:28:19 Murph: If I use a handaxe, I can't do Green Flame Blade, right?

1:28:23 Brennan: If you use a handaxe, can you use Green Flame Blade?

1:28:26 Murph: It does say, it says a melee weapon.

1:28:28 Brennan: Yeah, so you can't use a handaxe, no.

1:28:30 Murph: Right on, okay. Wait, no, I already bonus actioned, fuck, nevermind. Wait, okay.

1:28:39 Brennan: Movement and bonus, you have an action.

1:28:40 Murph: I have a shenanigan and that I would like to ask you.

1:28:43 Brennan: Only because you used the singular of shenanigan, then...

1:28:45 Murph: Just a single shenanigan.

1:28:47 Brennan: Yeah.

1:28:48 Murph: So as a bonus action, I can call back my sword.

1:28:52 Brennan: Yes.

1:28:52 Murph: Just like anywhere, if it falls, it doesn't matter. Could I Green Flame Blade, toss it, and just lose it for the turn?

1:29:02 Brennan: ...Yeah, yes, if you want to. Yes, you can.

1:29:04 Murph: Cool. I'm gonna cast Green Flame Blade, and I'm gonna toss Battlepop at the Sugar-Plum Fairy.

1:29:11 Brennan: Go ahead, I will let you do this goofy thing, but I am gonna— [sighs] Yeah, go for it. Go and make your attack.

1:29:19 Murph: Come on.

1:29:19 Lou: Come on.

1:29:24 Murph: Oh, ooh, it's only an 18.

1:29:28 Brennan: 18 does not hit, sadly.

1:29:29 Murph: Right on.

1:29:30 Brennan: Sword flies off.

1:29:32 Murph: Okay. Do I wanna Action Surge right now? I think I'm gonna chill.

1:29:38 Brennan: Okay, cool.

1:29:38 Murph: I'm staying put.

1:29:40 Brennan: You stay put, that is Theo's turn. Saccharina, that's you.

1:29:43 Emily: Okay.

1:29:47 Saccharina: So, do you wanna go for a ride?

1:29:51 Ruby: Yeah, can you get me...

1:29:53 Saccharina: To the tip of that pop? Oh, do you wanna go to that?

1:29:55 Ruby: I think I wanna be down here.

1:29:58 Saccharina: I was gonna try and put you here. [points to the edge of a popsicle that’s further from the Sugar-Plum fairy] You'd rather be here? [points to the close pop]

1:30:01 Ruby: I think I'd rather be here.

1:30:02 Murph: If we're all so close, we're...

1:30:04 Zac: We're all gonna get fucked.

1:30:05 Saccharina: Yeah, that's why I think here, we're spread out a bit.

1:30:08 Ruby: Well, but I, I wanna be able to do a melee attack on her.

1:30:14 Murph: Okay.

1:30:14 Ruby: So you can send me to that, but I'll just Misty Step over to her.

1:30:17 Saccharina: Sure, okay.

1:30:21 Emily: So, well, first off, can Cinnamon Thunder Step with me and Ruby, or is that too many people? Cinnamon is the dragon.

1:30:30 Brennan: Cinnamon is the dragon?

1:30:30 Emily: Yeah.

1:30:31 Brennan: Beautiful.

1:30:31 Saccharina: [cutesy] Hi, baby. Do you wanna go for a ride?

1:30:36 Brennan: Well, Cinnamon, is gonna take a help, so Cinnamon still has movement. You have to pick one, it has to Cinnamon or Ruby.

1:30:43 Emily: Okay, yeah.

1:30:44 Siobhan: You send Cinnamon flying...

1:30:45 Murph: Yeah, Cinnamon could probably just fly in there.

1:30:46 Emily: Yeah, I just, I'm just figuring it out. My next question is, do I get the sense that, if I cast a spell on myself, that Cinnamon will also get it?

1:31:00 Brennan: You have, you sense that you could, if you wish, develop a spell to create that connection (Emily laughs) between you and Cinnamon but that it does not exist—

1:31:09 Emily: Does not exist right now.

1:31:09 Brennan: Exactly, at this exact moment.

1:31:10 Saccharina: Okay, baby. Baby, just stay here, okay, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me. Cinnamon makes a little ‘beep noise’ and then coughs.

1:31:19 Zac: We're gonna get smacked by it.

1:31:21 Emily: That's why I wanted to cast something on him.

1:31:24 Zac: Could he move before you move?

1:31:25 Emily: I think I'll place him, I'll basically swap him and Ruby.

1:31:29 Brennan: Okay.

1:31:30 Emily: So that he's in that nook, and can't get hit by icicles.

1:31:32 Brennan: Cool.

1:31:33 Emily: But I'm letting him know.

1:31:33 Brennan: Gotcha.

1:31:35 Saccharina: Come fly to me when you get a chance, okay? I'll be waiting. Cinnamon makes a little growl.

1:31:42 Emily: And I guess if Ruby wants to be here, is there a place that we can, [knocks a mini off on accident] oop!

1:31:47 Brennan: You're good. Gooey! (blowing on the mini to dry it; the floor of the set is wet)

1:31:50 Emily: Is there a place where...

1:31:50 Siobhan: Gooey's all gooey!

1:31:50 Emily: That we, me and her...

1:31:53 Brennan: Yes, there is space that you can be in there.

1:31:56 Emily: Alright, then, and is that 90 feet?

1:31:58 Brennan: I believe so, 90 feet would be 18 inches. Hold on one second.

1:32:04 Lou: (singing) 90 feet would be 18 inches.

1:32:04 Brennan: Yep, you're good. You're within 90.

1:32:07 Emily: Okay, then, I'm going to do that. I'm going to use a Metamagic to Quicken Spell, so that my Thunder Step is actually a bonus action, so I can just try and do a little cantrip for damage.

1:32:19 Brennan: Okay.

1:32:19 Ally: Yep.

1:32:22 Emily: Huh?

1:32:22 Zac: You have fire cantrip?

1:32:23 Emily: I don't.

1:32:24 Siobhan: Yeah, you have fire.

1:32:24 Emily: Oh wait, I have Create Bonfire, yeah, okay, yeah, I guess I'll just Create Bonfire on her.

1:32:29 Brennan: Okay.

1:32:29 Ally: Got a full house.

1:32:32 Murph: This Popsicle is dangerous.

1:32:32 Ally: Yeah.

1:32:35 Emily: Yeah, and then, I guess I Create Bonfire on her. She needs to do a Dexterity saving throw.

1:32:42 Brennan: Create Bon- so she's gotta do a dexterity saving throw? (Lou humming)

1:32:48 Emily: Let's see if she has any Legendary Resistances left.

1:32:52 Brennan: She fails, and she's not gonna burn a Legendary Resistance for a bonfire. So you can roll 4d8 damage.

1:32:57 Murph: My goodness.

1:32:57 Emily: 4d8?

1:32:59 Brennan: 4d8, it does double damage.

1:32:59 Murph: It does double.

1:33:01 Emily: Yeah! (Brennan laughing)

1:33:04 Emily: Ahhhh, okay!

1:33:04 Ally: Fuck yeah.

1:33:06 Murph: You need another?

1:33:10 Emily: All right, that's gonna be, oops, 15, 24!

1:33:14 Ally: Wow.

1:33:14 Brennan: 24? Oh my God!

1:33:16 Emily: 24! (whooshing) And then, I say,

1:33:18 Saccharina: Ruby, think you can finish her off?

1:33:21 Ruby: I hope so.

1:33:22 Liam: I do, too.

1:33:22 Brennan: Awesome. That is Saccharina's turn, that's Saccharina.

1:33:27 Emily: And then, Ruby held her turn, so goes now.

1:33:29 Brennan: Ruby, you go now.

1:33:30 Siobhan: Okay, I would like to cast Green-Flame Blade on Flickerish, the Twizzling Blade.

1:33:39 Brennan: Ooh.

1:33:39 Siobhan: And I say,

1:33:41 Ruby: For Jet, bitch. (Emily laughing)

1:33:47 Siobhan: And I would like for Yak to fly over to give me advantage, give me the help action to attack?

1:33:57 Brennan: Sorry, Yak is gonna fly over? Yes, Yak flies over to give you advantage. (tense adventure music) (Yak cawing)

1:34:04 Brennan: He flies in.

1:34:08 Siobhan: That is a Nat 20. (all cheering)

1:34:11 Emily: Yeah, baby!

1:34:11 Murph: Double Green Flame.

1:34:13 Siobhan: With sneak attack...

1:34:13 Murph: Quadruple! Quadruple Green-Flame Blade.

1:34:16 Siobhan: Quadruple Green-Flame Blade.

1:34:18 Emily: Yeah, baby!

1:34:18 Siobhan: And my Battle Master, one Superiority die. Brennan lets out a slight growl.

1:34:22 Siobhan: So everybody can give me every single die that you have in your pocket.

1:34:29 Ally: And what are you using?

1:34:29 Siobhan: Hang on a second. So it's 8d6 from Sneak Attack, plus 2d6 from Battle Master.

1:34:40 Brennan: Hold on one...

1:34:40 Siobhan: Plus 2d8.

1:34:42 Brennan: Hold on one second.

1:34:42 Siobhan: Are you working out minimum damage? (tense adventure music)

1:34:45 Brennan: I'm working out, I'm working out minimum damage, I'm looking at all the tricks I have up my sleeve. I believe it is possible for you to finish this right here and now. So how many dies are you rolling? You're rolling the d8?

1:35:07 Siobhan: Hang on a second. Let me do the- Hang on a second. One, two, three, four, five.

1:35:12 Murph: Green Flame Blade-

1:35:13 Siobhan: 6, 7, 8. Hang on. That's, so this is my Sneak Attack dice. This is my Flickerish dice. I need 4d8?

1:35:24 Lou: Yes.

1:35:24 Siobhan: From Green-Flame Blade. That's a d4.

1:35:27 Murph: That's a d6.

1:35:28 Lou: d8?

1:35:28 Siobhan: Yes, 4d8.

1:35:30 Zac: 4d8?!

1:35:30 Emily: Oh, I think you got it.

1:35:34 Siobhan: And then, two more d6 from Disarming Attack.

1:35:40 Emily: Two more?

1:35:40 Siobhan: Yep, okay.

1:35:42 Brennan: Okay, now hold on. I'm gonna ask you to roll all this in...

1:35:49 Siobhan: In the Box of Doom?

1:35:49 Brennan: In the Box of Doom.

1:35:51 Siobhan: Okay.

1:35:51 Emily: Whew!

1:35:52 Siobhan: And this is then, plus 6 to this. Oh, and plus 6, plus my spellcasting modifier, which is 5, so plus 11.

1:36:03 Brennan: I’m gonna— I’m, I’m, [to the camera] I'm gonna lose it. Hold on one second.

1:36:08 Siobhan: I can barely hold all these dice. Liam, this, I get it.

1:36:09 Ally: Yeah. The power.

1:36:13 Lou: Liam was using a box the other day.

1:36:17 Siobhan: I feel so rich.

1:36:19 Brennan: Okay, so just to look, so there's no PC Creep. You've doubled your Sneak Attack, you've doubled your Green Flame Blade, you've, which is, that's a bonus action, right?

1:36:29 Siobhan: No, it's a...

1:36:29 Brennan: Oh, it's a cantrip! It's a cantrip.

1:36:31 Siobhan: As part of the action. It's a cantrip.

1:36:32 Brennan: So you do Sneak Attack. With that attack, you're doing a Battle Master thing from Flickerish, right?

1:36:37 Siobhan: Yep.

1:36:38 Brennan: To add that dice, and so, your Sneak Attack is doubled, the maneuver is doubled, Green Flame Blade is doubled, and the weapon's normal damage is doubled, and the number you're adding at the end of all that is plus 6?

1:36:49 Siobhan: Plus 6, and then, from the Green Flame Blade, it's also plus 5 for my spellcasting ability. Plus 6, plus 5.

1:36:55 Brennan: Plus 11.

1:36:59 Zac: Damn!

1:37:01 Brennan: I've written a number on a piece of paper. Siobhan, if you...

1:37:04 Siobhan: Oh wait, hang on a minute. It might be just plus 6, hang on.

1:37:07 Brennan: I think it's just plus 6.

1:37:07 Siobhan: Yes, you're right, because the other thing goes to the other.

1:37:10 Brennan: Hold that, don't open that just yet.

1:37:12 Siobhan: This is the second little fun piece of paper that I've gotten. (kisses the piece of paper) For luck.

1:37:18 Brennan: You're trying to beat that number in the piece of paper. Kindly go ahead and roll this in the Box of Doom.

1:37:24 Lou: Oh! Siobhan rolls 16 individual dice in the Box of Doom.

1:37:27 Brennan: Count it up.

1:37:28 Siobhan: Pass it over here. [takes the box] Oh, it's a lot of ones. [heavy, snorting breathing] Okay, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 53, 59. While Siobhan is counting, Lou and Zac hold onto each other and Ally takes a picture of them. Lou is staring at Brennan as Siobhan counts.

1:37:58 Brennan: Can you hand the Box- Take your dice, and then hand me the Box of Doom? [Siobhan’s dice clacks]

1:38:04 Lou: Why’s that piece of paper say 5?

1:38:06 Emily: I know! (Siobhan laughs)

1:38:11 Brennan: Don't open it just yet.

1:38:12 Siobhan: I'm not opening it.

1:38:14 Brennan: I wrote down, and I want you to know something. (tense music) You step forward, Jet's sword, Flickerish, in your hand. As it alights with your arcane flame, you cast a shadow on the wall of the cavern as tall as the mountain itself, with a long, long braid. Yak swoops down, screeching. You join your father, effortlessly pirouetting on the tiny stick at the edge of this floating plinth. You dealt 59 points of damage. Open that card, if you'd be so kind. (paper rustling)

1:39:08 Siobhan: 52.

1:39:08 Emily: Yay! (all cheering)

1:39:13 Brennan: Ruby, you leap forward. The fairy says,

1:39:18 Sugar-Plum Fairy: Can't you… Can't you come home with me?

1:39:28 Ruby: Why don't you come home with me?

1:39:30 Brennan: Whoa! [mimics a sword thrust] Lavender erupts in green, as Flickerish buries to the wrought basket hilt in the heart of this fae creature. The Sugar-Plum Fairy's faces scatter, flying to the edges of the cavern, as she screams and diminishes. Ruby, you have ended this being.

1:39:44 Sugar-Plum Fairy: [faces flickering] Gahh! [the music stops]

1:39:58 Saccharina: You know what, you're right. Maybe I was being conspiratorial about the Sugar-Plum Fairy. Ruby gives her A Look.

1:40:04 Liam: Did you ask the Sugar-Plum Fairy to go home with you?

1:40:04 Saccharina: Oh, I'm sorry, are you mad at me? Because I just actually softened her up so you could finish her and Thunder Stepped you here?

1:40:10 Siobhan: I push her off the lollipop.

1:40:12 Saccharina: Do you really?

1:40:13 Ruby: I am seriously thinking about it. I'm seriously thinking about it.

1:40:17 Saccharina: I literally…

1:40:17 Ruby: Don't fucking...

1:40:18 Saccharina: I literally just brought you here.

1:40:22 Amethar: Guys, come on, we won! We won! [dramatic, somber, string music]

1:40:25 Brennan: You see that the Sugar-Plum Fairy vanishes in magical energy. Cinnamon (yelling) screams and descends, and wraps and coils around your shoulders. Ruby, you stand there with the blood dripping from your sword. This creature had a 9th level spell left, and was going to Wish to restore all its hit points, and was one Initiative action away from doing so. [takes a breath, then yells in frustration] (all laughing)

1:41:00 Emily: It's okay, I probably would've counterspelled it.

1:41:05 Siobhan: Take your dice back.

1:41:06 Brennan: Counterspelled a 9th level spell?

1:41:07 Emily: Yeah. (Brennan laughing)

1:41:09 Ally: We would've rolled a Nat 20 for that.

1:41:11 Brennan: You'd have rolled a Nat 20.

1:41:13 Emily: Here's what it would've been. [rolls] 11. (Brennan laughing)

1:41:17 Emily: That's a freaking 16.

1:41:17 Ally: This is what it would've been, [rolls] a 9 in the rocks.

1:41:21 Brennan: The Sugar-Plum Fairy falls into endless mist. You are left here on this floating plinth. Miraculously, none of you are dead. You have survived. As we exit out of combat, the mist begins to recede. (whooshing) You see deep down, far below, the massive floor of this cavern, probably about 150 feet down from here, is filled like a dragon's hoard with lollipop, peppermint candy and weaponry, arrows, shields, armor, candy and coins of all shapes and sizes, tinctures, bottles, strange wands and staves, literally like a dragon's hoard at the base of this place. As the mist recedes, you hear voices in your ear, Ruby. (eerie music) First voice you hear says,

1:42:47 Rococoa: Proud of you, kid.

1:42:50 Brennan: The next voice says,

1:42:54 Lazuli: You make it look effortless. I am so proud.

1:42:58 Brennan: The next voice speaks and says,

1:43:01 Citrina: Sweetheart, I don't know where we're going next. It was nice to be here, but we're gonna go somewhere we don't know, but we're gonna go there together.

1:43:16 Brennan: The next voice says,

1:43:16 Sapphria: I was fourth in line and I didn't know that we were all gonna say something. They didn't tell me. (group laughing)

1:43:28 Ruby: [crying] Look after her, please.

1:43:33 Sapphria: I wouldn't dream of doing anything else.

1:43:37 Brennan: The last thing you feel is the embrace of your shadow, as it returns to a familiar shape that you recognize.

1:43:49 Ruby: I love you so much. I'm so sorry I couldn't save you. (wind whistling as the shadow fades) (gentle somber music)

1:44:05 Brennan: You feel the heavy presence of this powerful quasi-deity that reigned here leave this place, and its ominous, freezing cold, instead becomes an open door, a place that was dedicated to mystery and escape and a sickly sweet turning of one's back on a dark and fearsome world, instead becomes clear and crisp and cold. You see the weapons collected underneath you. You know of the armory of the library outside, and curled around Saccharina's shoulder is a young Cinnamon dragon. All the vast treasures of this place are no longer the source of power for a twisted dream. They are, instead, here, clear under the light, as the mist recedes, available, ready, and if the magic can be felt and said to have a feeling, perhaps, eager, to be put to use.

1:45:24 Zac: Am I still paralyzed? (all laughing)

1:45:27 Brennan: Cumulous, you come out of paralysis.

1:45:31 Theobald: Swifty, you seeing this?

1:45:33 Swifty: This is fun! We are all fucking set! I'm talking, a villa in Port Syrup, I'm talking a penthouse in Dulcington. You wanna a little country estate where we can go riding meeps in Muffinfield? We got it! All the people I grew up, they won't be able to tell me shit! (group laughing)

1:45:55 Siobhan: I cast Sleep onto Swifty.

1:45:57 Brennan: [mimics Swifty dropping] They're all very badly injured. Thump, thump, thump, thump.

1:46:01 Saccharina: I want you to understand one thing, Ruby. And (laughs) I suppose it's stupid that I keep trying to reach out to you, but I made the decision, I have ranged fire attack, I made the decision to do something with you instead of try to steal it for myself. I don't know if anything I ever say will ever affect you, but maybe somewhere down the line, you'll remember I said that, and you'll be at a place where you're ready to have heard it.

1:46:41 Brennan: The plinth returns to the edge. Your servants escort you. You see that Gooey is scratching under the chin of Cinnamon.

1:46:53 Emily: Chinny rubs!

1:46:53 Brennan: Chinny rubs. You see that Swifty's like,

1:46:58 Swifty: I say we're gonna probably have to get about 10, 12 wagons up here. I mean, there's not roads, fuck!

1:47:06 Brennan: You see Jon Bon is looking and saying,

1:47:09 Jon Bon: Yes, strong men will be needed.

1:47:13 Brennan: And you see that, as you walk away, Gooey looks at you and says- (dramatic music)

1:47:21 Saccharina: I know, I've let my sentimentality make me weak.

1:47:24 Gooey: Your Majesty, permission to speak freely.

1:47:28 Saccharina: Please.

1:47:30 Brennan: You see that look comes over her eyes, and she looks with nothing but raw disgust and disdain towards the people back on the plinth, as you walk away, turns back to you with a little bit of a tear in her eye, and she says,

1:47:49 Gooey: You have a family that has chosen you.

1:47:51 Saccharina: [unsteadily] I know. I don't know why I have spent so many spells on these people who continue not to care.

1:48:03 Brennan: You see Swifty looks up and says,

1:48:08 Swifty: Your Majesty, we care.

1:48:11 Saccharina: I know.

1:48:12 Swifty: And we're the most dangerous people in Candia. (laughs)

1:48:17 Saccharina: Fucking right, you are.

1:48:18 Brennan: Jon Bon nods and says,

1:48:18 Jon Bon: Our lives for the queen. Your reign will be a glorious one.

1:48:27 Brennan: Gooey again wraps an arm around you, and says,

1:48:35 Gooey: The future that is coming will not carry this pain for you, Your Majesty.

1:48:40 Saccharina: You know, the nice thing is, actually, that's the first time someone's called me Queen, and it hasn't felt uncomfortable. It actually felt really good.

1:48:54 Brennan: You see Cinnamon goes,

1:48:54 Cinnamon: (snoring) (sighs) (hisses)

1:49:01 Brennan: And nuzzles into your neck. The rest of you walking off of the plinth, you see Saccharina and her warriors move ahead. As the rest of you are walking off, what do you do as you arrive at the sort of edge of that dais of the platform?

1:49:34 Lou: I mean-

1:49:35 Siobhan: I just wanna take a moment of silence for Jet again.

1:49:38 Ruby: I don't know how many times I have to say goodbye to her, but, I don't know. Maybe you always- When somebody that you love dies, maybe all that you have is to say goodbye to them. (sighs) (pause)

1:50:04 Theobald: Ruby, I do think we owe it to her to live for her, and it was always Jet's dream to be with the common people, to fight.

1:50:23 Murph: And I kind of gesture to all of Saccharina's people.

1:50:29 Theobald: And this is an army of the people of Candia. This is Jet's dream. We have a chance, now, to- Amethar, you never wanted to be King. Ruby, you never wanted to be queen. We have a chance, you can be a warrior again, Amethar. We have a chance to get behind someone, and to bring magic back...

1:50:54 Amethar: I'm-

1:50:55 Theobald: We killed the Sugar-Plum Fairy.

1:50:57 Amethar: I'm 100% here, right, but you know what the last two weeks have been. You know what the last four weeks have been. I died, twice, I watched my daughter die, all right? I went from being in a place where yeah, all I wanted was to be a warrior. Then, they tried to kill me once, and I pushed back. Then they tried to kill me a second time, and I said, "Fuck it." No, this is- I need to be something, in spite of them. Then they took that away from me. And then, finally, I felt like I was back in my element, back to being a general, and then, they killed my daughter. And then, two weeks later, right when I've decided I'm gonna make something of myself, I'm not even king anymore. So I mean, I'm sorry if I don't seem 100%, 100% of the time. I've been through a lot. But I'm here, and I'm fighting. So please don't talk to me like I'm not all the way in.

1:52:24 Theobald: I don't think you're not all the way in. I know you.

1:52:27 Murph: And I point to Saccharina.

1:52:32 Theobald: But she doesn't know you. You have two living daughters.

1:52:40 Siobhan: I'd like to go speak to Saccharina.

1:52:44 Brennan: You approach. Saccharina, where do you think you've walked to?

1:52:48 Emily: We're just exiting.

1:52:49 Brennan: Just exiting, you're just leaving? So Ruby, you rush ahead, as they're leaving, and find them sort of out on the balcony, going out over the mountain. Go ahead and give me an Insight check.

1:53:03 Siobhan: Nat 20. (Murph blowing out a breath)

1:53:05 Brennan: You go out on the mountain, you go out on the ledge. Saccharina, I assume, you just call out to them?

1:53:10 Emily: Mm-hmm.

1:53:12 Brennan: You look out, and the immediate look you clock from them, Swifty turns around and cocks his head to the side. He looks at your stomach, like that would be the place that he could reach to slit your stomach open. Gooey hefts her ax over on her shoulder, and Jon Bon steps to the side, in case he gets the order to push you off the side of the mountain. I don't know what you see in Saccharina, but she did roll a Nat 20.

1:53:37 Emily: What do you see in Saccharina?

1:53:39 Brennan: Yeah.

1:53:39 Emily: Nothing. Because there's just nothing in me right now.

1:53:45 Ruby: In the last month, everything that I knew to be true disappeared and crumbled underneath me, that the Church wasn't real, that my family wasn't real, that nothing was real, and then, my sister, who was more than a sister, (sobbing) was the other half of me, died. And then, you appeared out of nowhere, and you're my sister, and you're my queen, and I can't have both, I'm sorry. You can't be both to me. I- if you want to be my sister, be my sister, and if you want to be my queen, be my queen. But I'm sorry, I cannot give you both.

1:54:38 Saccharina: I understand that you lost everything. But I was born with nothing. (pause) I'm not proud to admit this, but meeting Amethar wasn't the only thing that made me so giddy. It was also meeting you, the idea that all of a sudden, (sobbing) after years alone, I would not only have a father, but also a sister. (pause) But if I must choose, then I choose to be your queen.

1:55:33 Ruby: Very well.

1:55:39 Brennan: Jon Bon, Gooey and Swifty, who, again, are a Chocolate Bon-Bon man, (Emily laughs) a melted chocolate lady...

1:55:47 Siobhan: You son of a bitch.

1:55:50 Brennan: And a little gingerbread guy, accompany their queen, an ice cream person with a cinnamon Hot Tamale dragon on her shoulders. (Emily laughs) And they descend the side of the mountain.

1:56:04 Zac: And I think, sort of a cotton candy monkey man follows them?

1:56:11 Brennan: Cumulous follows after them.

1:56:15 Murph: Yeah, I follow Cumulous.

1:56:16 Brennan: Oh, so all you guys exit the Ice Cream Temple? You exit.

1:56:21 Ally: Can I look around, as we're leaving, at the loot underneath and see if there's...

1:56:25 Brennan: Give me an Investigation check.

1:56:26 Ally: Yeah. Hey.

1:56:31 Brennan: Roll advantage.

1:56:32 Ally: Okay. Fuck yeah, 24.

1:56:38 Brennan: You, you know difficult terrain, you skitter down the side. (tense music)  You see something at the base of the tower, something like an old lair, and you see a dark chocolate and cinnamon cavern with old, ancient chocolate eggshells, and suddenly, you see the dark space you've been seeing in your dreams. You smell the cinnamon, you know that the walls of this cavern once echoed with ancient roars, the kind you have felt in the deep hunger, as you have gone darker and darker, in your lust for revenge, and your hardening against this wicked world. At the middle of the nest, you can barely see the edge, way up high, as you're way down underneath the platform. You see in the center of what was an ancient nest of something much larger than Cinnamon, that there is still warmth, even in this ice cream place. You see a small ember glowing, and it's turning even a little bit brighter as you approach.

1:57:51 Ally: I go to it.

1:57:52 Brennan: As you approach it, the light grows suddenly so red and bright that it fills your vision. A hand reaches out and grabs your throat and pulls. That's all for this week...

1:58:01 Ally: What? Fuck!

1:58:02 Emily: What?

1:58:03 Ally: What the fuck!

1:58:04 Brennan: Tune in next week for the penultimate episode of "A Crown of Candy."

1:58:07 Lou: Jesus Christ. [NEXT EPISODE - Episode 15: The Two Balls] [NEXT TIME ON DIMENSION 20] (dramatic music)

1:58:10 Saccharina: When the people of Candia find me, and find what you have done to me, you will wish you believed me.

1:58:23 Amethar: My wife's dead.

1:58:26 Lazuli: They will see that this suffering will not have happened in vain.

1:58:31 Ruby: We're gonna kill them all, right?

1:58:33 Theobald: I don't think it's something that we can take lightly.

1:58:36 Lazuli: My hand, hold my hand! Hold my hand!

1:58:38 Saccharina: I hold your hand, I hold your hand.

1:58:39 Lazuli: Saccharina.

1:58:39 Saccharina: Hold my hand. No! (dramatic music)
