0:00:49 Brennan: Hello, one and all! Welcome back to a brand new and yet somehow strikingly familiar season of "Dimension 20" here in the dimensional dome. I am your humble dungeon master, Brennan Lee Mulligan. With me, as always, are our Intrepid Heroes. Say hi, Intrepid Heroes!

0:01:02 All: Hi, Intrepid Heroes!

0:01:07 Ally: Box out, box out.

0:01:07 Murph: Box them out, box them out.

0:01:09 Siobhan: Why are you holding a French press?

0:01:12 Emily: Because– No, I just got it and I need some tea.

0:01:13 Ally: Barista Emily.

0:01:15 Emily: I'm spilling everywhere!

0:01:17 Murph: Why did you bring the whole thing?

0:01:20 Emily: Because I need a sustained caffeine source–

0:01:22 Ally: I want some!

0:01:23 Emily: ...that is not as powerful as coffee!

0:01:25 Ally: Yes.

0:01:26 Brennan: Hey, we're not gonna knock sustained caffeine here on the show.

0:01:28 Murph: It was fully empty!

0:01:30 Ally: Everyone makes fun of me for my drinking vessels.

0:01:32 Murph: Well, this is–

0:01:33 Ally: But we've got a murky, twig-colored pour over going into a ball jar piping hot.

0:01:39 Zac: Doesn't it feel like the apocalypse happened?

0:01:42 Brennan: Folks, welcome back once again to the world of Spyre. That's right, it's "Dimension 20: Fantasy High Junior Year”! [players cheering]

0:01:53 Brennan: Hoot, growl! Hoot, growl!

0:01:55 All: Hoot, growl, hoot, growl, hoot growl!

0:01:57 Ally: Box out!

0:01:57 Murph: Box out.

0:01:59 Emily: Wait, what was that?

0:01:59 Brennan: We're back here at the table so we're gonna start with an indecipherable bit with no pre-warning, right away.

0:02:07 Ally: Just saying, this is not a criticism, the table's a little bit smaller.

0:02:10 Murph: You could potentially hold hands with anyone at the table.

0:02:12 Ally: That's so true.

0:02:12 Emily: That is true.

0:02:14 Brennan: Wow, beautiful. That's gorgeous.

0:02:16 Siobhan: Wait, this is so gentle.

0:02:17 Murph: Em and I are gonna do this all the time.

0:02:20 Zac: Stop touching me.

0:02:21 Brennan: Hand holding, hand holding, hand holding, hand holding.

0:02:24 Zac: I'm being careful!

0:02:25 Brennan: For those of you who are tuning in, [adventurous music] if this is the first episode of "Dimension 20" you're watching, you've got some stuff to catch up on, because–

0:02:33 Ally: These were all callbacks.

0:02:37 Brennan: We return now to the world of Spyre, a world of myth and legend where dragons roam the skies and foul necromancers plot within the dark hallways of the Nekronomikron, and all throughout, legend, adventure, magic and myth reign supreme, with one little exception, which is the nation of Solace, a metropolitan, modernized, arcano-tech country full of happy people working together from all of the different various nations of the world of Spyre coming together, specific emphasis on a little town called Elmville. That's right, our heroes' hometown and the home of the Aguefort Adventuring Academy, Spyre's premiere high school for heroes, a legendary adventuring academy that has set forth time and time again. Homes of our heroes, Mordred Manor, Strongtower Luxury Apartments, the Thistlespring Tree, and perhaps even Seacaster Manor that we might see somewhere else.

0:03:37 Lou: I don't know.

0:03:37 Brennan: We don't know.

0:03:39 Zac: Tell us! Tell us really quick!

0:03:40 Lou: I can't, 'cause he didn't tell me.

0:03:42 Emily: Wait, what? You live somewhere else now? [music ends]

0:03:44 Lou: Yeah, I moved.

0:03:44 Emily: What?

0:03:46 Murph: You have to tell your friends when you move!

0:03:48 Siobhan: That's fucked up.

0:03:48 Lou: My dad got a job in Cleveland!

0:03:51 Brennan: Bill Seacaster, your dead father, got a job in Cleveland.

0:03:54 Murph: We're all in Cincinnati!

0:03:56 Brennan: So far away!

0:03:57 Lou: I'll take the train on Saturdays, I swear!

0:04:00 Brennan: If you are tuning in, this is the beginning of the third season of "Fantasy High", junior year for our high school heroes, and returning to none other than the Bad Kids! But I don't see the Bad Kids on here anywhere. Oh!

0:04:15 Emily: Oh, we all died!

0:04:15 Brennan: You all died!

0:04:18 Emily: And we rolled new characters! I'm playing a wizard, yay!

0:04:23 Zac: I'm a turtle.

0:04:26 Murph: Not a tortle, a turtle.

0:04:26 Zac: I'm a turtle!

0:04:28 Siobhan: We just carry him around everywhere.

0:04:32 Emily: He bites. Be careful.

0:04:35 Brennan: Lemme gearshift back into first gear. [gears shifting] Here we go, okay! And where are we? We are not in Elmville, nor in the nation of Solace at all, because last we left off, our Intrepid Heroes had just gotten word, I guess, that none other than the Night Yorb had exploded out of Riz's chest, out of the tattoo he got that said "The Night Yorb" with all of his clues, different kind of–

0:04:58 Lou: You remember that?

0:05:00 Brennan: Memento-style, had tattooed clues all over his body, and how can our Intrepid Heroes possibly defeat the Night Yorb that threatens to destroy your world? The presence of the Night Yorb casting all of Spyre into unending night, that over the course of weeks and months and maybe, you know, a year, depending on the supply chain, will eventually erode the agricultural base. There's no sunlight, photosynthesis.

0:05:24 Zac: No!

0:05:26 Brennan: No!

0:05:26 Emily: My crops!

0:05:27 Brennan: A very slow apocalypse unfolds!

0:05:31 Siobhan: I guess I still gotta go to work.

0:05:32 Brennan: So where are the Bad Kids? The Bad Kids are not in Elmville at all! They are in the heart of the Red Waste.

0:05:43 Ally: Wow!

0:05:45 Emily: Oh my goodness!

0:05:46 Brennan: Chasing down the Night Yorb! ♪ The Night Yorb ♪ [marching drum beat]

0:05:48 Ally: It's coming for us.

0:05:50 Emily: I feel like I'm in Utah.

0:05:52 Ally: Yeah!

0:05:53 Brennan: Here we see before us, racing down a highway [drums fade] deep in the thickness of the Red Waste, [rock music plays] far beyond the borders of Solace, the Night Yorb. [gibbering menacingly] A giant manta ray made of inky blackness with protruding tube-shaped eyes that pop out of tendrils at the front of its head, made of pure night, an eldritch beast beyond dimensions of life and the material that surges forward, plunging the entire world of Spyre into endless night. Plants dying, temperatures lowering, the mood of the population suffering with the lack of vitamin D. A slow-rolling apocalypse that threatens all of the denizens of this world, and who can save them? That's right, the Bad Kids!

0:06:43 Zac: Yeah!

0:06:45 Brennan: There are so many cults dedicated to the Night Yorb. The Chapel of Eternal Darkness, the Choir of Unending Night, et cetera, it goes on and on and on, so there's a blanket term, which is Yorbies. There's Yorbies scattered around. Some of them are riding their Yorbie land mounts, these sort of insectile creatures native to the Red Waste. Others of them have taken to foot and are trying to block your path. What is established right now is the Hangman surging ahead, Fabian's infernal motorcycle, and the Hangvan, Gorgug's celestial family van. On top of the Hangvan we see creations of yours meant to finally end the chaos of the Night Yorb's reign. Your solar lasso, created by the teamwork of the Bad Kids with a sigil capable of capturing the Night Yorb, if you can weaken it enough and pull it in so that it is within five feet of the sigil. We are gonna go around, and I just want everyone to reintroduce us to your character, and you're gonna tell us your name and your class. Up first, the Archdevil of Rebellion herself and frontwoman of Fig and the Cig Figs, Emily Axford, please describe your character!

0:07:50 Emily: Figueroth Faeth is... [rock music plays] I didn't know we were gonna do this. Figueroth Faeth is a archdevil wizard's paramour. Yes, it's part of my identity, thank you! You know, time has passed. I've changed a little bit. I think I'm rocking a double-necked bass now.

0:08:07 Siobhan: Sick.

0:08:07 Murph: Whoa.

0:08:08 Emily: I'm wearing a mic cable as a choker, and I think I'm shredding atop the sigil of the Hangvan.

0:08:19 Brennan: It's junior year, baby. We're pulling out all the stops. Do you think you're atop the sigil, or atop the sigil on your skateboard?

0:08:26 Emily: I'm on my skateboard, of course! I had my skateboard glued to my combat boots.

0:08:31 Murph: Be careful up there, Fig!

0:08:34 Brennan: Balancing?

0:08:34 Emily: Glued to my combat boots.

0:08:37 Brennan: You are balanced–

0:08:37 Emily: When I take off my shoes, I take off my skateboard.

0:08:42 Ally: You could just get skates. You could get roller skates.

0:08:45 Brennan: Absolutely incredible. Drummer for Fig and the Cig Figs, member of the Aguefort Owlbears and the holder of the tin flower, Gorgug Thistlespring. [gentle instrumental]

0:08:56 Zac: Gorgug is atop the van, manning the solar lasso that he and his friends made. I would say the biggest difference in Gorgug's appearance at the moment is, he's got goggles on, and then it's just dust here that if you move the goggles up, you could tell that his face has been absolutely, like he's at Burning Man or something.

0:09:16 Brennan: You are racing through an endless desert, so anyone on top of the van is just sucking down gravel and dust.

0:09:23 Zac: But also still noticing the skateboard wheels just kind of crunching into the top of the van.

0:09:31 Gorgug: [cringes] Okay, that's fine.

0:09:32 Fig: I know how to fix it, don't worry.

0:09:34 Gorgug: Okay.

0:09:34 Fig: You pour hot water on it and then just punch it back into shape.

0:09:37 Gorgug: Okay.

0:09:37 Fig: Trust me.

0:09:38 Gorgug: That actually sounds like it would work.

0:09:40 Brennan: Gorgug, here is your mini.

0:09:40 Zac: Oh, wow. And Gorgug, I should say, has got a little, he's slightly more artificer than he used to be. He's 7th level barbarian, and then a 3rd level artificer. He's got a little bandolier of stuff, little gadgets and things, and he's just trying to concentrate on the Night Yorb.

0:10:02 Brennan: You've got to focus on this Night Yorb!

0:10:04 Zac: Okay.

0:10:04 Brennan: Astride the solar lasso that you have spent the last four months constructing–

0:10:10 Zac: It's all leading up to this!

0:10:13 Brennan: Exactly, in media res, and helping you up on top is the person that, of course, you found that helped you construct the solar lasso, none other than one of the Bad Kids' closest friends, it's Squeem!

0:10:25 Emily: Squeem! Oh my god! I can't believe we're seeing Squeem for the first time!

0:10:29 Murph: Finally, we get to see Squeem!

0:10:30 Emily: Holy shit, Squeem!

0:10:31 Siobhan: Damn, Squeem is hot. Look how hot Squeem is.

0:10:34 Murph: Squeem's new mini for the first time.

0:10:36 Emily: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:10:37 Murph: We've seen old Squeem many times.

0:10:39 Lou: Well yeah, we didn't expect our Squeem.

0:10:41 Siobhan: Ours. We all remember Squeem.

0:10:43 Murph: Squeem had a glow-up. Can we all agree?

0:10:46 Ally: Yes.

0:10:46 Murph: Can we all agree?

0:10:47 Siobhan: Acne is gone.

0:10:48 Gorgug: Is this looking right, Squeem?

0:10:50 Fig: Squeem! [squeems] I'm taking song requests!

0:10:52 Gorgug: Squeem, what do you want Fig to sing?

0:10:53 Squeem: Squeem!

0:10:53 Gorgug: Can you play Squeem?

0:10:54 Siobhan: Guys, you need to stop sucking up to Squeem. You have to play it cooler.

0:10:58 Emily: I plug it into an amp that turns my bass into just going, "Squeem!" [squeeming]

0:11:06 Gorgug: Not my favorite song.

0:11:09 Brennan: None other than the Elven Oracle herself, Adaine Abernant! Siobhan, please describe your character.

0:11:15 Siobhan: Adaine [stammering]... I can say my own name. Adaine Abernant, Elven Oracle, denim jacket-wearing cool kid.

0:11:20 Emily: Yes!

0:11:23 Siobhan: She's here, somehow has no dust on her face whatsoever.

0:11:26 Emily: Gorgeous.

0:11:27 Zac: It's like the dust is magnetized to my face!

0:11:31 Siobhan: She currently has Mirror Image going, so that's three Adaines up there.

0:11:34 Emily: Oh my god!

0:11:34 Siobhan: Adaine is a little guy now. A little guy guy. She has lots of little guys. So Adaine up there, as well as having her familiar, Boggy the Froggy, also has an invisible dog.

0:11:49 Lou: Wow.

0:11:50 Emily: Wow.

0:11:50 Ally: Wow!

0:11:51 Siobhan: I have Mordenkainen's Faithful Hound, so I have an invisible dog called Moggy the Doggy.

0:11:55 Brennan: Okay.

0:11:56 Lou: Are you also on top of the van?

0:11:58 Siobhan: I'm also on top of the van, 'cause I'm doing the sigil with Fig, so we both have sigil powers.

0:12:02 Emily: Can I use the many Adaines for cover?

0:12:06 Siobhan: Yes, for sure.

0:12:07 Emily: Can I hide behind three Adaines?

0:12:08 Siobhan: And I also have four steam mephit elementals that are maybe hanging onto the side of the van.

0:12:15 Emily: Steam? That's fun.

0:12:15 Siobhan: The steam ones are rad.

0:12:17 Zac: We have so many people up here!

0:12:19 Siobhan: So many more people on top of the van than in van.

0:12:22 Brennan: It's truly a– quickly nearing unmanageable amount of people.

0:12:26 Emily: We are putting on a fuckin' show!

0:12:27 Murph: And the Night Yorb casts Gust of Wind, and that's the end of our season, everybody!

0:12:33 Brennan: So Adaine, steam mephits, ready to go.

0:12:36 Siobhan: Yes, hell yeah.

0:12:37 Brennan: This is Boggy the Froggy.

0:12:37 Siobhan: Great.

0:12:40 Ally: Oh!

0:12:40 Brennan: Let's pass Boggy around. [Ally screeches in adoration]

0:12:44 Brennan: What is your Mordenkainen's Faithful Hound's name?

0:12:46 Siobhan: Moggy the Doggy.

0:12:47 Brennan: And here's Moggy the Doggy.

0:12:47 Siobhan: Great. [Ally and Murph screaming joyfully]

0:12:51 Siobhan: Yes!

0:12:51 Ally: That's unreal.

0:12:53 Brennan: And, of course, the Elven Oracle herself, Adaine Abernant with the Sword of Sight.

0:12:58 Siobhan: Yes!

0:12:58 Emily: Okay.

0:13:00 Lou: God, how'd you get all these cute-ass animals?

0:13:04 Ally: And they go in a little shot glass?

0:13:05 Siobhan: I went all in on animals, guys. I went all in.

0:13:07 Emily: I'm gonna take a shot of Boggy.

0:13:08 Ally: Pills. I'm gonna gum it.

0:13:08 Lou: We all need charm bracelets with all of Adaine's friends.

0:13:14 Brennan: Zac, does Gorgug also have his homunculus here?

0:13:16 Zac: His homunculus is not here today.

0:13:18 Lou: I'm sorry? Are there more people up there?

0:13:20 Brennan: Not here today, whew. Okay, good.

0:13:22 Emily: Oh, and Baby, he doesn't do anything mechanically, but he does annoy anyone who's in the car, which I'm hoping is Riz.

0:13:28 Brennan: Oh, do you mean Baby, AKA Wretchrot the imp? Yes!

0:13:34 Siobhan: He's perfect! I love him!

0:13:36 Brennan: [as Baby] I can't mechanically help because I'm not a class feature yet! [giggles]

0:13:41 Emily: He's just in there to give moral support.

0:13:43 Ally: Are you gonna put him next to Squeem?

0:13:44 Brennan: And then we have none other than the captain of the Aguefort Owlbears, the heir of Seacaster Manor, [swashbuckling instrumental] Fabian Aramais Seacaster!

0:13:53 Lou: Yes, sitting in the passenger seat under the sagging roof of the Hangvan. [creaking metal]

0:14:00 Emily: He just sees skateboard wheels–

0:14:03 Lou: Yeah, just starting to penetrate through.

0:14:05 Gorgug: Are we sure it's gonna buff out?

0:14:07 Fig: I'm telling you, hot water.

0:14:07 Lou: Is Fabian Aramais Seacaster, jock turned dancer, kind of sitting in the passenger seat with his elven battle sheet, which has kind of now become an elven battle silk. It's a little bit longer, fluttering out of the passenger window. Yeah, I'm, you know, a former cool jock. Fabian's kind of grown his hair out now and is doing a whole topknot situation, and is also just really leaning into the dancer aesthetic. I wear all black now, you know.

0:14:43 Emily: Really?

0:14:43 Lou: Oh yeah.

0:14:44 Ally: When you're talking, your toe is just kind of pointed.

0:14:46 Lou: Oh, exactly. Always, always.

0:14:48 Siobhan: You're constantly stretching.

0:14:49 Murph: You gesture with your feet.

0:14:49 Ally: Over there. It's over there.

0:14:53 Lou: Right, yes.

0:14:53 Ally: Her or her?

0:14:55 Lou: You all can't see it, but I'm doing it, I swear.

0:14:57 Gorgug: Fabian, are there footprints on the windshield?

0:15:00 Fabian: Yes, well, Riz isn't driving where he's supposed to be! Stay in between those lines!

0:15:05 Lou: Foot stuff is not gonna read at all, but yes.

0:15:10 Brennan: So, riding shotgun in the Hangvan. This is your normal mini.

0:15:12 Lou: Yes.

0:15:15 Brennan: But go ahead and just slide this guy in through the windshield.

0:15:17 Lou: Wow, look at that.

0:15:19 Brennan: We have a seated mini in there. I should have started with who was in there. The front windshield has a little bit more space for Fabian to get tucked in.

0:15:27 Emily: So you're in there with Baby also.

0:15:29 Lou: Yes, Baby's probably on my lap.

0:15:31 Brennan: Oh, Baby's in there? Someone hand me Baby real quick.

0:15:34 Emily: So dangerous, we should have a car seat.

0:15:34 Siobhan: You have a second Baby?

0:15:34 Ally: A sitting Baby?

0:15:37 Siobhan: How many Babies have you got?

0:15:38 Brennan: We're gonna remember that Baby's in there.

0:15:42 Wretchrot: I love to be in the air conditioning!

0:15:44 Fabian: Can you move to the backseat, Baby?

0:15:46 Wretchrot: It doesn't work! Gorgug, you should look into replacing your AC filters!

0:15:51 Murph: Wretchwrot runs hot. It makes sense, Wretchwrot runs hot.

0:15:54 Brennan: Incredible. So Fabian, you are in there. You want the Hangman out in front, or where do you want the Hangman?

0:15:59 Lou: I'd like the Hangman out in front.

0:16:00 Brennan: Great, great great great.

0:16:01 Fabian: Follow him, follow him!

0:16:01 Hangman: Yes, sire! I shall lead the way to promise and victory!

0:16:08 Fabian: Yes. Yes, you will.

0:16:09 Brennan: Also, another ally of yours. This battlefield's so insane. None other than Ecaf the floating mirror.

0:16:18 Siobhan: God, she's gorgeous.

0:16:20 Brennan: She says,

0:16:20 Ecaf: Master Seacaster, as the battle commences, I must say that the protection inside of this vehicle is certainly the only thing that will protect me from the ravages of the Night Yorb!

0:16:32 Fabian: That's not the only thing that will protect you. Stay close by my side.

0:16:36 Ecaf: Master Seacaster, if I could blush!

0:16:39 Emily: Guys, they're fucking, right?

0:16:40 Siobhan: They're absolutely fucking.

0:16:42 Fabian: And one day, you will. I have lots of money. We'll figure something out. I want you to experience that.

0:16:48 Ecaf: What?

0:16:48 Fabian: I want you to know all!

0:16:50 Ecaf: I don't even have a concept–

0:16:51 Fabian: I'm gonna show you the world.

0:16:53 Zac: When the mirror's talking, is that Fabian's reflection?

0:16:58 Brennan: Throw a Luck check in front of the board. What do you wanna call? If that's true, do you want that to be high or low?

0:17:03 Zac: High.

0:17:03 Murph: High, yeah.

0:17:06 Brennan: 11, so yeah, a foggy reflection of Fabian's face speaks back in the mirror as Ecaf takes over Fabian's expression.

0:17:14 Fabian: I'm gonna take care of you. There's nothing more important in this world.

0:17:20 Ecaf: I've never had a papa before.

0:17:24 Fabian: We should focus. We should focus.

0:17:27 Lou: Fabian crosses his legs.

0:17:31 Fabian: We need to focus. We have to focus.

0:17:33 Brennan: Oh yes, of course. Yes, yes, yes. This floating, animated mirror, who helped you understand the secret of refraction technology to develop both the sigil and the solar lasso, joins you in this combat. Next, none other than the risen saint herself, prophet of the goddess of mystery and doubt, Cassandra, Kristen Applebees!

0:17:53 Ally: Kristen is doing great. I mean, some people may have seen her kinda wrapped in a blanket at a preview day at a college. No more. She is really into just kinda using her body in new ways, like working out. She goes to a gym all the time, a lot of HIIT training, a lot of crossfit. Yeah, she's jacked. There's no way to get around it. She is so strong, and she's inside the van. Don't worry, Brennan. She is inside the van, okay? She's not up top.

0:18:27 Lou: Ally did lean over to me earlier and they were like, I'm gonna be on top.

0:18:31 Ally: I'm gonna be on top of the van, too.

0:18:33 Brennan: Kristen Applebees, embracing a new wellness lifestyle in a yellow tracksuit.

0:18:36 Ally: That's right, that's right!

0:18:37 Brennan: Question mark on the back.

0:18:37 Ally: It's called bloke mode.

0:18:41 Lou: Absolutely bloked.

0:18:41 Brennan: Bloked to hell and back.

0:18:44 Ally: Yes!

0:18:45 Brennan: And where are you? You're in the back?

0:18:46 Ally: In an absolute tracksuit, that's right. Probably kinda in the middle of the van.

0:18:50 Siobhan: Sitting like this in the middle seat.

0:18:51 Brennan: Hell yeah, go ahead and slot yourself in.

0:18:52 Murph: All the empty seats, because all of our passengers are on top of the car.

0:18:56 Zac: I feel like some people should be in the van, right?

0:18:59 Brennan: Great, incredible, and then none other than Elmville's own private eye and agent, part time, of the LPRTF, Riz Gukgak!

0:19:09 Murph: Riz has graduated from briefcase kid to hipster nerd. He is taking on some kind of bold fashion choices as he has graduated to sort of a gadgeteer secret agent. He's now an arcane trickster, so you see he is driving the van with a Mage Hand that he's controlling with, he's become kind of a ring guy, so he's got a bunch of rings.

0:19:35 Brennan: Hell yeah.

0:19:37 Murph: He's controlling...

0:19:38 Riz: I had to do it! I needed the tech!

0:19:40 Fabian: [laughing] Sure, Riz.

0:19:41 Emily: You summon the hand.

0:19:41 Adaine: I know Mage Hand, and I don't have a single ring.

0:19:44 Kristen: Then why do you have the choker and the braces?

0:19:45 Riz: I have to wear the choker and the fedora! I need it!

0:19:46 Adaine: What about the braces, man? Why do you need braces?

0:19:47 Gorgug: Do you have to tap it so loudly on the steering wheel?

0:19:51 Murph: I don't know! So yeah, I'm kind of hanging out the window. I've got the Gukgak Gun that has been modified by me and Gorgug to have essentially sun powers. It has become the Sun Gun, and I've gotten really into science trying to defeat the Night Yorb, so I'm excitedly talking to Fabian, going, the Night Yorb stands no chance against the Photosynthe-kids.

0:20:15 Fabian: I've told you before, The Ball. I don't like it. It's too mouthy.

0:20:19 Murph: I start revving the engine, making it too loud.

0:20:21 Riz: I can't hear you! Outside, we said we had to vote!

0:20:25 Brennan: You hear the Hangvan go,

0:20:25 Hangvan: Again, try not to say the name, gang. That's all I'm saying.

0:20:31 Zac: I keep forgetting.

0:20:31 Murph: Right, yeah.

0:20:33 Emily: You're not supposed to say it?

0:20:34 Siobhan: We said the name so many times.

0:20:36 Lou: I mean, it can't get worse than it already is.

0:20:38 Siobhan: The Night Yorb is right there. I mean, the thing.

0:20:40 Lou: This is our chance to say it, honestly.

0:20:42 Murph: We have to keep calling it the thing.

0:20:45 Brennan: Okay, Riz, this is your normal miniature. You are gonna take this little seated driver. Go ahead and throw him in the driver's seat.

0:20:51 Emily: Let me see. Pass him around.

0:20:52 Siobhan: The mirror's actually in the driver's seat.

0:20:53 Ally: So cool.

0:20:53 Emily: Oh my goodness.

0:20:54 Lou: The mirror really is in the driver's seat, if you ask me.

0:20:56 Emily: Oh, Brennan, there's been a little mistake. There's not a bunch of rings.

0:20:58 Lou: Where are the rings?

0:21:01 Emily: Yeah, there's been a little bit of a mistake.

0:21:02 Siobhan: Hey Rick, can you get in here and just give us some rings?

0:21:06 Brennan: I love improvised extra shit on top of the... It's great. So, I'm gonna need everybody here to go ahead and roll initiative. [players trilling excitedly] [dice rolling]

0:21:21 Emily: Gorgeous.

0:21:23 Emily: 18 for Figueroth.

0:21:25 Brennan: [repeating] 18 for Figueroth.

0:21:27 Siobhan: 11 for Adaine.

0:21:29 Brennan: 11 for Adaine.

0:21:31 Siobhan: The elementals got a 10.

0:21:33 Brennan: I'm gonna say that because you rolled right next to your own initiative, elementals are just gonna act on your turn, Adaine. That's gonna be true for Boggy and minions you have as well.

0:21:42 Siobhan: Great, the dog only acts as a reaction.

0:21:44 Brennan: Gotcha, cool cool cool. Gorgug, what'd you get?

0:21:46 Zac: A 10.

0:21:46 Brennan: 10, hell yeah. We got some close ones. Fabian.

0:21:50 Lou: 21.

0:21:50 Brennan: 21, hell yes. What'd Riz get?

0:21:52 Murph: 26.

0:21:54 Brennan: Jesus!

0:21:55 Emily: Yeah!

0:21:55 Murph: I have Alert.

0:21:58 Brennan: Okay. Kristen Applebees.

0:22:00 Ally: Sleven.

0:22:02 Zac: That was a 7 or 11?

0:22:03 Ally: It was a sleven.

0:22:05 Brennan: We enter pitched combat. This is it. Months of adventuring, near death experiences, romances, betrayals, investigations, discoveries, battles, and now it all comes down to this. The Night Yorb races ahead of the Hangvan. The Yorbies descend on this place. [techno-rock music] There is some secret plan that they seem to have enacted. You were not expecting these Yorbies to appear on the scene as they have, but you know that you have everything you need to get the Night Yorb back towards its sigil, to binding it forevermore rather than simply letting it continue or escape or once again disappear into the lands of Spyre. We are starting in medias res, so our PCs are down spell slots, abilities, health, but so are the enemies in the battle here. All these Yorbies are starting at 3/4 health. Their mounts are starting at half health. The mounts, you can see, already have sustained area-of-effect fireballs and lightning and all kinds of spells. There's ax chunks and sword slashes and bullet wounds throughout them. The car is gonna act on initiative 20, [music fades] and Riz, you're gonna act first on your own turn as the driver. Riz Gukgak, you are first up in combat!

0:23:14 Murph: Okay, yes, I think I'm really dangerously hanging out the window way too much while controlling it with my Mage Hand. And then, I guess, do these dudes look like they're gonna charge up, go after our van?

0:23:28 Brennan: Oh yes. It looks like attacking the van is a priority of theirs.

0:23:31 Murph: Great, okay, so I'm going to cast Booming Blade. I take my cool new necklace, which I had to start wearing, and I–

0:23:43 Ally: It's functional.

0:23:43 Murph: Yeah, it's super functional. And I break off a bead on it, and... Oh wait, actually, I have to use a sword for that, so I can't do that. I will just shoot it with my gun.

0:23:57 Brennan: Hell yes, go ahead and give me an attack roll.

0:23:59 Murph: And I will, ooh, do I wanna... I can't get sneak attack. Can I hide as a bonus action, just plop down and shoot and then pop back up?

0:24:09 Brennan: Yeah, absolutely.

0:24:09 Murph: Great, okay, so I'll hide. My hide check is a 26, so I jump down, maybe pop out a different window, and shoot the Gukgak Gun out.

0:24:21 Gorgug: No one's driving!

0:24:21 Riz: No, I got it with the–

0:24:25 Brennan: By the way, let me say, how are you reaching? This is a van of Gorgug's size. Do you have stuff tied–

0:24:31 Murph: I just have mirrors and stuff, just full on Inspector Gadget.

0:24:35 Brennan: So do you have springs extending from the soles of your shoes to hit the pedal?

0:24:39 Murph: Yes, I think I'm literally jumping down and stomping on the pedals while using a series of mirrors.

0:24:45 Brennan: Oh, so you're down in the footwell steering from the bottom of the wheel, hitting the pedals?

0:24:51 Emily: You've basically taken a disco ball–

0:24:52 Zac: You're looking through that mirror.

0:24:54 Ecaf: Master Seacaster, does your friend–

0:24:57 Fabian: Yes, he needs you.

0:24:57 Riz: A little to the left!

0:24:59 Fabian: Yes, but I just don't want to lose sight of you.

0:25:01 Riz: Okay, to the right!

0:25:03 Gorgug: We're gonna have to choose between looking at Fabian and looking at the road.

0:25:06 Ecaf: Try to keep your eyes on me as best you can, The Ball.

0:25:11 Emily: I want a turn with Ecaf.

0:25:15 Murph: Riz tries not to clock it.

0:25:18 Brennan: Incredible.

0:25:19 Murph: And then I'll take an attack.

0:25:20 Brennan: Awesome. What's your Stealth?

0:25:21 Murph: Ooh, Stealth was 26.

0:25:21 Brennan: Easy, no worries.

0:25:24 Murph: Okay, so pop down, pop back up in a different area, just using all these gadgets to keep it going, quickly becoming Inspector Gadget.

0:25:32 Ally: But, like, hot.

0:25:32 Murph: But so hot.

0:25:35 Ally: Cool, hot Inspector Gadget.

0:25:35 Lou: So sexy Inspector Gadget.

0:25:38 Murph: 27 to hit.

0:25:40 Brennan: Oh, that is definitely going to hit.

0:25:44 Murph: I'm so nervous! This is my first turn in a while!

0:25:47 Emily: You got this, you got this!

0:25:47 Murph: Talk amongst yourselves.

0:25:48 Lou: You've got it, Murph.

0:25:48 Murph: With sneak attack, and I'm also gonna use my once a day Fury of the Small to do an extra 10, so 30 damage total to that dude.

0:25:58 Brennan: 30 damage to that Yorbie.

0:26:00 Murph: And then I'm out of action economy, so I can't hide, so I'm just back in the driver's pedals.

0:26:06 Brennan: Can you go stick this on that Yorbie at the driver's back? Okay, he takes 30 points of damage?

0:26:12 Murph: Yes.

0:26:12 Ally: Wow, 30.

0:26:14 Lou: Big swings.

0:26:14 Ally: Yeah, we're strong now.

0:26:15 Siobhan: Remember when we got killed by tables?

0:26:17 Lou: Look how far we've come. Now we're all on top of a car, and no one's falling over.

0:26:21 Brennan: No one's falling over, baby. It's truly sick. Fig and Adaine are both standing, one on a skateboard, and then a giant crystal construct, and Gorgug on the back. Okay, and you are no longer in stealth, because you used Stealth to get advantage.

0:26:35 Murph: Correct.

0:26:35 Brennan: Correct, cool cool cool. You watch that Yorbie in front of you, who's looking healthy and kind of okay. A massive blast of radiant energy from the Sun Gun. Boom! You see up ahead that the Night Yorb goes [gibbers] and pulls the solar lasso tight with just that thing in the distance of radiant light firing. That Yorbie is still alive, but on death's door. Legendary action at the end of Riz's turn. The Night Yorb is going to cast Darkness. Yes, so Darkness lands, covering basically all of the front half. You see that the Night Yorb up ahead just goes [gibbers] and it shits out, it just shits a blob of pure night.

0:27:21 Emily: Okay.

0:27:22 Brennan: Magical darkness covers the front of the Hangvan. You can see that it's targeting the Hangvan as the object. The darkness will move with you. Up next in the initiative order, Fabian Aramais Seacaster, Hangman also going on your turn.

0:27:36 Lou: Great, how far is the Night Yorb from us at this point? I just need to know if it's less or more than 60 feet.

0:27:42 Brennan: Well, its tail counts as its body. It is slightly over 60 feet. The Hangman's within 60 feet, but the Hangvan is at about 70.

0:27:49 Lou: Okay.

0:27:49 Fabian: Ecaf, Ecaf, I'll be right back.

0:27:53 Ecaf: [gasps] Master Seacaster, I shall wait for you here for as long as it takes for you to return.

0:27:59 Fabian: It won't be long at all. I'm gonna ... Riz, keep driving the car.

0:28:03 Riz: Okay!

0:28:06 Lou: I'm gonna climb out of the front of the car and onto the Hangman to get just within 60 feet, so I wanna use as little movement, because I'm gonna try and climb back into the car after I do this.

0:28:18 Brennan: Okay.

0:28:20 Lou: So, climbing out of the car onto the Hangman, and I'm gonna whip the battle silk forward and cast Faerie Fire onto the–

0:28:29 Brennan: Ooh, onto the Night Yorb!

0:28:33 Lou: Onto the Night Yorb.

0:28:33 Zac: Incredible.

0:28:34 Brennan: Okay, give me a DC 15 Acrobatics.

0:28:37 Lou: Okay.

0:28:38 Brennan: To successfully land on your moving motorcycle.

0:28:41 Lou: I have a plus 13 to Acrobatics, so just don't roll so bad. [die rolling]

0:28:48 Siobhan: Goddamn.

0:28:48 Murph: No.

0:28:49 Brennan: Is that a nat one?

0:28:49 Ally: It was a nat fucking one.

0:28:52 Siobhan: Why do you still own this die?

0:28:55 Ally: You're blessed!

0:28:55 Murph: I recognize that dice.

0:28:57 Ally: You're blessed!

0:28:57 Lou: Wait, wait!

0:28:59 Siobhan: You're blessed.

0:28:59 Lou: Don't you have a certain–

0:29:01 Murph: Silvery Barbs?

0:29:03 Emily: Is this a saving throw? Aren't you a fighter or something?

0:29:04 Lou: It's not a saving throw, right? It's just a check?

0:29:06 Murph: You magically distract the triggering creature–

0:29:07 Emily: No, I think I just–

0:29:08 Emily: It's to succeed, I think, for Silvery Barbs.

0:29:09 Lou: I think it just happens. I am trying to look at this mirror for as long as I possibly can, and I think I'm just putting my dainty foot out being like, all right, yes! And, yeah.

0:29:23 Brennan: Riz, you watch as your good friend Fabian Aramais Seacaster gets one beautiful dancer's foot up. The windshield, by the way, that you I guess have taken out to allow this? Actually–

0:29:36 Lou: We can go out the side window.

0:29:37 Brennan: Probably you wanna pop the side window up and do it from there.

0:29:39 Lou: Okay.

0:29:40 Brennan: So you pop the side window. On a natural one, you spring forward and miss the motorcycle. Roll disadvantage 'cause of the nat one, but we're gonna go ahead and the van is gonna take a crush attack on you right away.

0:29:57 Emily: No!

0:29:57 Lou: Hangvan!

0:29:58 Emily: Okay, but we can Silvery Barbs the van.

0:30:01 Brennan: No, I'm gonna need you to roll a Dexterity saving throw. It's a low DC, it's only a DC 12, but you're rolling it with disadvantage.

0:30:06 Emily: Don't you have Circle of Power?

0:30:07 Ally: You are blessed.

0:30:07 Riz: When I look into the mirror, it looks like Fabian's coming towards the car.

0:30:12 Emily: And Circle of Power gives–

0:30:13 Ally: Circle of Power gives you advantage on saving throws, so it's even, right?

0:30:15 Lou: Flat.

0:30:17 Brennan: Yes, gives you advantage? So it's a straight roll.

0:30:19 Emily: Straight roll, baby.

0:30:20 Lou: But on magical effects, right? So I do think it's flat.

0:30:24 Brennan: Yeah, there's nothing magical about what's happening in this moment. A teenager has jumped to a motorcycle with five feet of clearance from a van doing 90 in the middle of the desert.

0:30:38 Siobhan: This is why there are more women than men, because teenage boys do this shit.

0:30:43 Brennan: Okay!

0:30:43 Lou: All right, here we go. Okay.

0:30:45 Brennan: Disadvantage.

0:30:49 Lou: [dice rolling] The lower one is a 14, before Bless.

0:30:53 Murph: Okay.

0:30:53 Lou: And a 18 after Bless.

0:30:55 Ally: Hey!

0:30:55 Murph: Okay.

0:30:56 Brennan: Fabian, give me one more Dex saving throw. This is a DC 20 Dex saving throw. You roll it straight.

0:31:01 Lou: Okay. [dice rolling]

0:31:03 Siobhan: Jesus Christ.

0:31:03 Emily: Oh my god!

0:31:04 Zac: It's that same die!

0:31:04 Siobhan: It's that same fucking die!

0:31:06 Lou: Dex save?

0:31:06 Brennan: Dex save.

0:31:08 Lou: It's an eight. No, no, don't touch these dice!

0:31:11 Brennan: Okay!

0:31:12 Ally: Let me just hold it. Let me hold it.

0:31:13 Brennan: So Fabian, you leap forward, eat dirt. The Hangman sprays gravel into your eyes. You fly under the van barely, on that first save, not getting crushed under the wheels for 10d10 damage.

0:31:28 Lou: Okay.

0:31:29 Emily: What?

0:31:31 Murph: I killed him! I killed Fabian. He's gone! SiobhanHe's already so low health!

0:31:33 Brennan: Fabian, kindly place... I'm gonna actually say we're gonna use... Kindly take your–

0:31:38 Emily: Wait, was it an attack roll? Was it an attack roll?

0:31:41 Brennan: No, it's a Dex save.

0:31:41 Emily: [distraught] No!

0:31:43 Brennan: So Fabian, kindly slide your mini under the body of the Hangvan.

0:31:47 Lou: Yeah, you got it. Just like that?

0:31:50 Brennan: Everyone know that Fabian is under the midsection of the Hangvan as we proceed with these next turns.

0:31:55 Emily: He's just on the grate getting dragged along.

0:31:57 Brennan: And if he survives, Fabian will be stranded on this battle board as the van surges forward. Fabian, that's your movement.

0:32:08 Lou: Okay!

0:32:10 Brennan: Do you have an action, bonus action?

0:32:12 Emily: Wait, are you still standing?

0:32:14 Brennan: Oh no, the DC 20 was prone. You are prone under the van and have an action and bonus action.

0:32:21 Emily: Okay, okay.

0:32:21 Lou: Okay, sure!

0:32:24 Brennan: As you hit the dirt, you mouth whatever to Ecaf, you [grunts] vanish under the van, but no one feels a bump or anything. You hear, Riz, Ecaf goes,

0:32:32 Ecaf: Jesus Christ.

0:32:36 Riz: What the hell?

0:32:38 Siobhan: Dude, you killed your friend. You just killed your best friend. what the fuck?

0:32:41 Gorgug: Everything good up there?

0:32:43 Riz: Everything's bad in here!

0:32:46 Brennan: Riz, you fully hear the mirror go,

0:32:46 Ecaf: This fucking kid.

0:32:50 Emily: What?

0:32:50 Siobhan: What?

0:32:51 Lou: Wait, so as I'm in the midsection, is there a chance to grab onto something?

0:32:57 Brennan: Well, you have an action and bonus action.

0:32:58 Lou: Okay, great.

0:32:59 Brennan: So now it's like, what are you gonna do? The van is racing over you.

0:33:01 Lou: Okay.

0:33:02 Brennan: You've just barely avoided getting crushed by the van. This is a great first round, gang!

0:33:07 Murph: You're rolling between the wheels, essentially

0:33:09 Siobhan: I shouldn't have brought up the tables. I cursed us.

0:33:11 Lou: Yeah, you cursed us. This was your fault! I say,

0:33:14 Fabian: Hangman, around! Around!

0:33:20 Brennan: Okay, the Hangman has movement, so the Hangman, leading the charge, says, "Sire! Oh shit, you're under there!" And is going to wheel around, use its full movement, and yeah, it can just barely avoid attacks of opportunity, but it's gonna use its dash. It's gonna use its movement and action to get behind you.

0:33:40 Lou: And then my goal would just be to grab onto the Hangman.

0:33:44 Brennan: Okay, go ahead and this is going to be... We'll call this Acrobatic. It's a DC 15, but you are rolling with disadvantage because you're going from prone.

0:33:52 Lou: Okay, got it. [dice rolling] That's a 16.

0:33:56 Brennan: You clear it by one.

0:33:56 Murph: Wow. Wow, wow, wow.

0:33:59 Lou: That was a three. That was a three on the die.

0:34:01 Siobhan: On that same goddamn die! It's cursed!

0:34:05 Brennan: Fabian, could you go ahead and hand me both your mini and the Hangman's mini?

0:34:08 Lou: Okay, great. Wow, how many minis do you have? Get out of here!

0:34:11 Brennan: It's junior year, baby. We pulled out all the stops. Fabian Aramais Seacaster astride the Hangman! [rock music] Okay, so we burned a lot of actions to basically get on–

0:34:20 Lou: A lot of actions to get on–

0:34:20 Siobhan: But you're not dead.

0:34:23 Lou: Yes.

0:34:23 Gorgug: Whoa, cool move, Fabian!

0:34:25 Fig: Fabian, was that intentional?

0:34:25 Gorgug: That was awesome!

0:34:27 Lou: A massive scab. So much rug burn.

0:34:31 Brennan: You are gonna take four points of falling damage from hitting the thing. You take four points of damage, a little bit of road rash, get up on your motorcycle, and you are behind the Hangvan. Any bonus actions from you?

0:34:41 Lou: I'll Second Wind. [all laughing]

0:34:48 Brennan: An incredible turn.

0:34:49 Fig: Fabian, is that how you always get on it?

0:34:53 Fabian: Yes, I used to do the "Teen Wolf" thing, but this is a new version.

0:34:58 Brennan: Okay, and with that, it's gonna be the Yorbies.

0:35:05 Lou: 16 on the Second Wind.

0:35:05 Emily: Okay, gorgeous.

0:35:10 Siobhan: Gorgeous.

0:35:10 Emily: Gorgeous.

0:35:13 Lou: Gorg-geous.

0:35:13 Zac: This season, I'm Gorg-geous.

0:35:16 Ally: Yeah.

0:35:18 Brennan: Okay.

0:35:18 Emily: Oh dear.

0:35:19 Brennan: Oh dear. Okay, Yorbies are gonna run up. These two in the front are gonna try to stab the engine of the Hangvan.

0:35:26 Lou: What? [Emily whistles apprehensively]

0:35:29 Zac: Damn.

0:35:29 Brennan: Let me see here.

0:35:31 Ally: What are you guys doing up there? Who's doing what?

0:35:33 Emily: We're on the sigil.

0:35:33 Zac: I'm doing the gunner.

0:35:35 Siobhan: Yeah, we're on the sigil.

0:35:36 Ally: And you're doing–

0:35:36 Zac: The gunner.

0:35:37 Ally: The gunner? Okay.

0:35:38 Brennan: This guy's actually gonna run right here. So this guy in the center opens his voice, and in what you guys all clock as a Solesian accent, you're like, this guy's from Solace, he goes, "Gang, this one's for the Night Yorb! Yorbies, let's do it!" [music fades]

0:35:54 Murph: What?

0:35:54 Siobhan: Okay, what movie theater were you assistant managing before you decided to become a Yorbie?

0:35:59 Brennan: Following the Night Yorb's brought a lot of purpose and meaning to my life.

0:36:03 Murph: Okay, but the Night Yorb's blocking the sun. We need those photons to get to the chlorophyll.

0:36:07 Brennan: Let's end the world!

0:36:10 Zac: So cheerful.

0:36:10 Ally: Wow, so positive.

0:36:12 Fig: Kristen, he's really, really impressionable. He might be for your church.

0:36:15 Kristen: I think that's a great idea. [hymnal chanting] You know, I kind of stopped working on my church. I should really get back to that.

0:36:25 Brennan: That guy in the middle is going to use– [hymn fades] he's using an ability to give all of his allies advantage on their attacks.

0:36:32 Murph: Ugh!

0:36:32 Zac: That's no good.

0:36:33 Emily: I hate it.

0:36:35 Brennan: That's a nat 20.

0:36:35 Emily: Silvery Barbs!

0:36:38 Brennan: Oops!

0:36:38 Siobhan: Nice.

0:36:39 Brennan: That is a miss.

0:36:40 Emily: Yeah!

0:36:40 Murph: Nice.

0:36:42 Brennan: Okay, one attack from the one on the front left, and then these guys are gonna start hurling javelins. [dice rolling] Miss, good grief. That's one hit. That is a crit on the javelin.

0:36:59 Murph: Silvery Barbs!

0:37:01 Ally: Nice.

0:37:02 Brennan: Miss, okay.

0:37:02 Ally: Yes! Oh my god.

0:37:04 Brennan: Right now, it's just two hits out of all these attacks.

0:37:07 Ally: Both on Squeem?

0:37:08 Brennan: No, they're attacking the Hangvan.

0:37:09 All: Squeem!

0:37:09 Lou: As long as Squeem's okay.

0:37:12 Fig: Squeem, I can't lose you again! We've already brought you back from the dead once.

0:37:16 Ally: Yes!

0:37:16 Adaine: We've spent so many diamonds on Revivifying you.

0:37:19 Kristen: Yes! Squeem is worth so much.

0:37:22 Fig: A Jared's worth of diamonds to Revivify you.

0:37:24 Adaine: Turns out diamonds are expensive. Who knew?

0:37:26 Brennan: With all of their weapons coming down, the Hangvan takes 52 points of damage.

0:37:32 Ally: A third.

0:37:32 Brennan: So at 98.

0:37:35 Murph: We're at 98, damn.

0:37:36 Emily: Riz, I'm giving you advantage on your next roll for my Silvery Barbs.

0:37:38 Murph: Oh, thanks. Hey, I'll give you advantage on your next roll for my Silvery Barbs.

0:37:41 Emily: Cute.

0:37:43 Ally: Cute!

0:37:43 Brennan: Oh, wait a minute. Sorry, I'm totally incorrect.

0:37:47 Emily: Because of the damage threshold?

0:37:48 Brennan: Forgot about damage threshold. Sorry, gang. Damage threshold is 10, so only one of those... Does anyone else have a Silvery Barbs? Because one last one of those was a crit.

0:37:57 Siobhan: They actually get a one.

0:37:57 Brennan: Incredible.

0:38:01 Siobhan: How much damage are these javelins doing?

0:38:04 Brennan: When they're critting, they're doing over the damage threshold of the Hangvan, more than 10.

0:38:08 Emily: And damage threshold–

0:38:08 Siobhan: But how much–

0:38:09 Emily: They take no damage if it's under 10.

0:38:11 Siobhan: Okay, but how many hit points does the Hangvan have?

0:38:14 Brennan: 150, but with that damage threshold, a lot of those attacks are getting negated already, so if you wanted to let one crit through–

0:38:19 Siobhan: I think I'm just gonna let one crit through and save my good portent rolls.

0:38:22 Zac: I think that makes sense.

0:38:24 Emily: Yeah, that's fine.

0:38:24 Zac: Great.

0:38:24 Brennan: Okay, the Hangvan instead takes 14 points of damage, so the Hangvan goes from 150 to 136. Damage threshold, huge. Javelins pinging off the metal. Your car is getting very fucked up.

0:38:37 Gorgug: Hey!

0:38:39 Fig: I'm telling you, hot water and then punch it all back out.

0:38:44 Gorgug: I'm just not sure–

0:38:44 Fig: I'm willing to do it.

0:38:47 Kristen: I would love to be a part of that!

0:38:48 Adaine: I'll use my Mage Hand.

0:38:48 Fig: Kristen, we can do this. We can double team this.

0:38:50 Riz: There's a lot of bad advice and skateboard rolling going on up there.

0:38:54 Gorgug: I'm seeing paint chip away.

0:38:54 Fig: I'm an active thinker.

0:38:58 Brennan: Let me get two Dex saves for the car, from the driver, and let me get one from– [tense music]

0:39:04 Emily: You've got Silvery Barbs, though.

0:39:05 Murph: Great.

0:39:06 Brennan: Two Dex saves from the car, from the driver, one Dex save for Riz personally, and one Dex save for Kristen personally.

0:39:12 Siobhan: Bless. This, we have Bless.

0:39:12 Murph: Start with the car. [dice rolling] Car is my Dex?

0:39:16 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

0:39:18 Murph: 28.

0:39:18 Brennan: That saves.

0:39:20 Murph: Great, and then myself. I don't have advantage. This will just be regular. [dice rolling] [cringing sound]

0:39:27 Siobhan: But you have Bless.

0:39:27 Murph: But I have Bless, okay.

0:39:29 Lou: ♪ But you have Bless ♪

0:39:31 Murph: Fuck. 15.

0:39:33 Brennan: 15?

0:39:35 Murph: Yeah.

0:39:35 Brennan: 15 also saves.

0:39:37 Murph: Oh, great!

0:39:37 Brennan: So 15 saves for the car, and then Riz and Kristen, for yourselves.

0:39:41 Murph: Great, I got a 28 for the car, and then I got a 15.

0:39:48 Ally: Nat fucking 20, let's go.

0:39:50 Ally: First one.

0:39:50 Emily: Yes!

0:39:51 Ally: But with my minus four Dex, that is a 16.

0:39:54 Brennan: 16, hell yeah.

0:39:55 Ally: I think it should count as something.

0:39:57 Murph: And the Hangvan beat it both times, right?

0:39:59 Ally: We're back, baby. We're back.

0:40:00 Brennan: Sorry, there were two for the Hangvan.

0:40:02 Murph: So I've only done one for the Hangvan. It had advantage the one time, but this time, it's just gonna be flat. Oh, okay, cool. Dirty 20.

0:40:08 Brennan: Okay, amazing, so all of this damage is halved, but these two massive insects in the front wheel around and blast huge lines of acidic– basically bile out of these glands in their mandibles [hissing] that hit and start to corrode the front of the Hangvan, and the ones on either side blast them in through the windows and hit each of you. Hangvan halves all the damage to you guys, so it's five acid damage each and then 10 for the Hangvan. So the Hangvan is now at 126 out of 150.

0:40:42 Siobhan: And then we all take that damage.

0:40:43 Brennan: Yes. However, you have survived the Yorbies' turn. Folks, it's a brand new season. Bad Kids, it's not their first fucking rodeo. We are putting the lair action for this battle in the hands of our player characters, so people that are doing car shit, go ahead and do car shit if you wanna do it.

0:41:02 Fig: Okay, the Night Yorb is at half health, so we can go ahead and try and do the sigil.

0:41:10 Brennan: You need to get wheeled in on top, the silver lasso's got to wheel it in. We have two sigilists up at the front of the car.

0:41:16 Emily: Yeah! [adventurous music]

0:41:17 Siobhan: Free spell attack to dispel a single Night Yorb effect.

0:41:19 Brennan: Adaine, go ahead and give me a spell attack. I'll let you know the number you are trying to beat here. And you do have two chances, because Fig and you are both–

0:41:28 Emily: Yeah, I also have it.

0:41:28 Siobhan: Yes, and a spell attack, we also get Bless on, right?

0:41:31 Emily: No.

0:41:31 Siobhan: No.

0:41:32 Emily: Oh, spell attack, though.

0:41:32 Siobhan: It's an attack.

0:41:34 Ally: Before you do that, will my cleric Twilight Eyes of Night work on this?

0:41:40 Brennan: Does it say you can see in magical darkness?

0:41:42 Ally: It doesn't say magical in this.

0:41:43 Brennan: So you cannot see through magical darkness. There's an ability that warlocks get called Devil's Sight that allows them to see in magical darkness.

0:41:48 Ally: Oh, okay, okay. Cool, cool, then never mind.

0:41:50 Emily: But we can try and get rid of this.

0:41:52 Ally: Yeah, totally.

0:41:53 Siobhan: That is a plus eight, so 16.

0:41:57 Brennan: 16 does not do it.

0:41:57 Emily: Okay, okay. Nat 20!

0:42:01 Brennan: Ooh, baby! Fig, go ahead and describe for me, as this darkness emerging from the back of the Night Yorb splats into the front of the Hangvan, how do you get rid of it?

0:42:12 Emily: I fear not darkness. I am from Hell. And I breathe it all in like a cloud of smoke.

0:42:18 Zac: It smells so bad!

0:42:20 Murph: I don't think that's good for you.

0:42:22 Ally: Monster vape!

0:42:23 Brennan: Give me a DC 10 Constitution save.

0:42:28 Emily: 12!

0:42:28 Brennan: 12. Oh, your infernal digestive tract is stronger stuff than this.

0:42:34 Siobhan: Not as bad as cloves.

0:42:34 Emily: Not as tasty as brimstone.

0:42:36 Brennan: Yeah, exactly.

0:42:37 Brennan: Honestly, the weird thing is, this just tastes like very cold water.

0:42:44 Emily: I feel hydrated, like I just went to the gym.

0:42:49 Brennan: The darkness vanishes. We've used our sigil actions. Any other car actions in this lair turn? Obviously the driver's got a lot to do in a second.

0:42:56 Murph: I'm thinking about gassing it.

0:42:58 Siobhan: Oh yeah. Hell yeah, dude.

0:42:59 Murph: Should we gas it?

0:42:59 Emily: Gas it, gas it!

0:43:01 Siobhan: Freaking gas it.

0:43:01 Murph: All right, let's do it.

0:43:02 Zac: I'm gonna do the solar lasso after you.

0:43:04 Murph: Great, Riz is gonna go ahead and jump on the pedal. Off the brake, just full on, on the pedal.

0:43:10 Brennan: Bam, for the next round, until the next initiative count 20, Dex saves for the Hangvan made with disadvantage.

0:43:15 Murph: Your forehead's pressing the gas pedal.

0:43:18 Brennan: Okay. I'm gonna disconnect this. So the Hangvan is going to surge forward. You're gassing it, so all of the Yorbies in the middle of the path are gonna make Dex saves as you go for it. We're gonna roll for them right now. You can feel, Gorgug, at the solar lasso, that the tightness of the lasso gives way, which gives you an opportunity to reel in, essentially.

0:43:40 Ally: Cool. [music fades]

0:43:41 Brennan: Yeah, this is gonna be brutal. Okay. Sorry, Yorbies.

0:43:46 Emily: Yorbies!

0:43:46 Brennan: Little Yorbies.

0:43:48 Zac: They're gonna be fine.

0:43:50 Brennan: They're gonna be fucking fine, dude.

0:43:51 Lou: Hey, I made it, you know?

0:43:51 Riz: Fabian's fine.

0:43:54 Gorgug: I think Fabian's pretty hurt.

0:43:56 Fabian: No, I'm good! Squeem, I did this so I could see you!

0:44:00 Gorgug: He's definitely embarrassed.

0:44:02 Fabian: No, I'm not!

0:44:03 Siobhan: Squeem does have a great butt.

0:44:04 Gorgug: That was awesome, man.

0:44:05 Brennan: The leader fully dodges out of the way. He goes, "Whoa!" and leaps to the side of the road. The two in the back are not as quick on the draw as him. Murph, when the car is gassing it, they roll with disadvantage. That's what the rule is. The other guy also fails, 'cause you're gassing it. Okay, you're gonna get all three. Roll 5d10 for each one.

0:44:23 Ally: Yes!

0:44:23 Brennan: Or just 5d10 in total.

0:44:25 Murph: Sweet, sweet, sweet.

0:44:26 Brennan: And whoever wants to can very gingerly move the Hangvan up in between these guys up here.

0:44:36 Murph: Oh my god, I rolled so good. It's insane.

0:44:38 Brennan: Oh my god.

0:44:39 Murph: It's awesome. There's three 10s out of five. [electric guitar plays]

0:44:43 Emily: Whoa, okay!

0:44:43 Emily: Wow. ♪ It's a new season, it's a new Murph ♪

0:44:49 Ally: Yes, it is!

0:44:49 Murph: Out of a possible 50, 45.

0:44:52 Brennan: Jesus!

0:44:53 Murph: I rolled three 10s, a 9, and a 6.

0:44:58 Brennan: You all watch as Riz, his little goblin form, this new hipster, kind of a little bit suaver Riz, double foot slams on the gas and all three of these Yorbies, this guy right here is saying,

0:45:09 Yorbie: It's the power of the Night Yorb! [engine revving]

0:45:12 Brennan: He flies 40 feet in the air. [Yorbie screaming] His torso is facing his butt's direction. He fucking really, all you hear... [Brennan mimics a body thudding violently] You're doing like 130 in the van right now.

0:45:26 Murph: Riz screams. [screams]

0:45:30 Brennan: Baby screams,

0:45:30 Wretchrot: Yes! The windshield is covered in blood! You've murdered them, your countrymen!

0:45:36 Riz: [half-heartedly] Yeah, I know!

0:45:38 Brennan: As you surge forward.

0:45:40 Gorgug: I don't think we should be up here!

0:45:43 Brennan: Unbelievable. Well, don't stand in the road with the van coming towards you.

0:45:47 Zac: Did we move this far enough up?

0:45:48 Brennan: Far enough to sort of make them be gone? Scooch them forward. Okay.

0:45:53 Ally: Baby can catch up.

0:45:53 Emily: Baby can... [laughs]

0:45:56 Brennan: Other car actions? Incredible, those Yorbies are–

0:46:00 Kristen: So if I'm at the window, I can give someone a reroll on a Dex, and if I'm at the door, I could make a slam attack?

0:46:08 Brennan: Yes.

0:46:08 Kristen: I can't do both? I can't say I jump up to the door, slam, and then I run back?

0:46:12 Brennan: No, you gotta commit to it.

0:46:14 Kristen: I'll commit to the window, since we just got our disadvantage.

0:46:17 Brennan: Okay, so you still have pretty heavy cover at the window and you have that ability to use a reaction.

0:46:21 Kristen: That's great, I'll stay there.

0:46:23 Brennan: Hell yeah.

0:46:23 Brennan: I crack a yerba mate and I dump it into some protein powder and I'm just sha– It's so loud, the little shaker.

0:46:30 Zac: Yerba mate and protein powder?

0:46:31 Siobhan: So nasty.

0:46:31 Emily: That's so gross.

0:46:34 Murph: Louder than the engine.

0:46:36 Ally: What?

0:46:37 Brennan: You feel within you, as you shake the yerba mate, the voice of your goddess speaking.

0:46:40 Cassandra: This is really exciting. This could be huge for us.

0:46:43 Kristen: Yeah.

0:46:43 Cassandra: Let's go.

0:46:45 Kristen: Can I call you back?

0:46:45 Cassandra: What's that? Oh sorry, yeah. By the way, I know that we talked, and now you can sort of call on me for Divine Intervention, and–

0:46:53 Ally: I put in EarPods.

0:46:55 Cassandra: I don't have any other clerics, so... Ally mimics yerba mate shaking.

0:47:03 Ally: It's so thick.

0:47:03 Brennan: Unbelievable. Solar lasso. Fabian, you're doing your own thing, and then–

0:47:08 Zac: Solar lassoing, so I get plus five to this, plus my elixir, lets me roll a d4. Four to that, so–

0:47:16 Brennan: The Night Yorb right now is 50 feet away, or has 50 feet of solar lasso between it. If you succeed by 10 or more, we are going to move that now–

0:47:27 Emily: You have a Bardic, remember? We started this with–

0:47:30 Ally: Yeah, you do!

0:47:30 Emily: A d8 from me.

0:47:32 Zac: Oh, I got one from you? Okay.

0:47:33 Brennan: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:47:33 Emily: They're really gorgeous.

0:47:36 Zac: Okay, so 18.

0:47:36 Brennan: You got an 18. Okay, so this thing has a huge Athletics, but it's rolling with disadvantage.

0:47:43 Emily: Because I hexed it.

0:47:43 Ally: That's right, that's right!

0:47:46 Brennan: If you succeed on this roll by 10 or more, you actually reel it in does reel it in by five, and you can use attacks on your own turn if you wanna keep reeling it in.

0:47:55 Murph: Rad.

0:47:55 Brennan: Disadvantage.

0:47:58 Siobhan: It gets a one.

0:48:01 All: Yeah!

0:48:01 Brennan: Hell yes!

0:48:03 Ally: Thank god you didn't use that to spare 14 points of damage to the van.

0:48:06 Brennan: Okay, it gets a one, which is a good thing, because the Night Yorb gets spooked the more the line goes taut, so with the gassing of the van, you're able to just... [mimics engine revving] This helixing ray of solar energy moves in. if it surges to get away, it's not gonna be able. Its length is diminished.

0:48:27 Zac: Come on. Come on, buddy.

0:48:27 Brennan: Here we go. Ecaf is going to give the Help action to the driver, Riz, so you have advantage on whatever you're doing. That brings us to Figueroth Faeth, astride the Hangvan.

0:48:38 Emily: Do we get the impression that just doing some damage to this guy might help?

0:48:42 Brennan: Give me an Insight check with advantage.

0:48:46 Emily: [dice rolling] Gorgeous. Gorg-eous. That is a 21.

0:48:52 Brennan: Okay. You see that the Night Yorb was clearly wounded enough that in its position right now, it was capturable by sigil. It suddenly looks like it's become a little bit healthier, and as you watch, one of the Yorbies on the back of the thing goes, "Everyone, for our fallen comrades! For the Night Yorb!" And you watch a little injury heal on the Night Yorb's body as the servant says, "Night Yorb."

0:49:19 Emily: Okay.

0:49:19 Murph: It's the thing.

0:49:21 Emily: It's what thing?

0:49:21 Murph: The thing.

0:49:23 Emily: Oh, by saying–

0:49:24 Siobhan: When we say its name, it gets better.

0:49:26 Brennan: You see the Hangman in the back says, "I thought me and the Hangvan were pretty clear! Pretty clear, a long time ago!"

0:49:32 Emily: Are these guys prone or dead?

0:49:33 Brennan: They're full dead.

0:49:34 Emily: They're full dead?

0:49:34 Brennan: Full dead.

0:49:35 Emily: Then I'm just gonna go ahead and try to Eldritch Blast the Night Yorb.

0:49:40 Ally: Nice.

0:49:40 Lou: The thing!

0:49:42 Brennan: No, Emily Axford– it's only in character. Emily Axford can say it. Night Yorb, Night Yorb, Night Yorb. We're all good to say Night Yorb.

0:49:49 Ally: He who must not be named!

0:49:49 Brennan: But I do love the hustle.

0:49:51 Lou: I did not notice what had happened. I was like, what happened? Are you okay?

0:49:54 Emily: I don't know, I was so scared.

0:49:56 Ally: You did what?

0:49:57 Emily: Yeah, I'm just gonna Eldritch Blast him. That's a 24 to hit. That's a crit!

0:50:04 Brennan: Ooh! Hell yeah!

0:50:06 Emily: I crit on 19 on my Hexblade Curse.

0:50:08 Ally: That's right!

0:50:08 Murph: Whoa.

0:50:09 Emily: Okay. So he has– Okay, the first one is just gonna be a d10, but he's got Hex and I'm adding stuff for Hex and Hexblade Curse, just so you know.

0:50:20 Brennan: Hell yes, got it.

0:50:22 Emily: Okay, do you want me to roll it all at once?

0:50:23 Brennan: Yeah, yeah yeah yeah, go for it. Do your thing. Awesome, awesome.

0:50:29 Emily: Four plus...

0:50:32 Ally: [whispering] Zac, where are those dice from?

0:50:34 Zac: They were handed to me by, I think, Rick earlier.

0:50:37 Emily: You guys don't have to whisper. I'm doing math.

0:50:40 Ally: [whispering] Did you wanna trade?

0:50:42 Siobhan: [also whispering] I think those are pretty cool, actually. I think you would really like those.

0:50:46 Zac: I don't like what's happening.

0:50:49 Ally: Come on, man. Just do it.

0:50:49 Lou: Trade!

0:50:51 Zac: This kinda represents the colored pants.

0:50:53 Ally: Bro, just do it.

0:50:53 Lou: Just trade.

0:50:56 Zac: I just kinda, these are–

0:50:56 Lou: Just trade!

0:50:59 Emily: 40 damage. [all cheering]

0:51:03 Brennan: What does it look like, [rock music] these Eldritch Blasts coming from Fig the Infaethable?

0:51:06 Emily: I think it comes from my bass guitar and it looks like– it shoots out a real wiggly musical note.

0:51:15 Brennan: Everyone just sees a treble clef made of energy.

0:51:19 Ally: The energy of a noodler.

0:51:22 Emily: Yeah, I've got me Squeem pedal on right now.

0:51:25 Brennan: From beneath your feet, you can hear,

0:51:26 Wretchrot: Yes, Mistress, take us for a walk!

0:51:29 Emily: And then I'm gonna also, because that was only a cantrip, I'm gonna bonus action Healing Word Fabian.

0:51:36 Brennan: Hell yeah, go for it.

0:51:36 Siobhan: Nice.

0:51:38 Emily: Okay, all right. I'm gonna do, you know what? Let's just do a 2nd level. You feel good about that?

0:51:46 Lou: I feel great about it.

0:51:46 Siobhan: Nice roll.

0:51:49 Gorgug: Did he get hurt or something?

0:51:51 Emily: Yeah, so just another 12.

0:51:51 Lou: Okay, great.

0:51:53 Emily: Another 12 HP.

0:51:53 Ally: Tight.

0:51:54 Gorgug: I thought he meant to go under the van.

0:51:56 Fabian: I did! I did, I meant it!

0:51:56 Kristen: It was like a somersault. I would have thought that, too, but then I heard the mirror being so upset.

0:52:03 Fabian: She was upset?

0:52:03 Emily: That's my turn.

0:52:05 Brennan: Hell yes, Fig. [music fades] Next to you, by the solar lasso, you see that Squeem turns to you and goes,

0:52:08 Squeem: Squeem?

0:52:11 Gorgug: Squeem, what? [heartfelt instrumental]

0:52:14 Squeem: Squeem.

0:52:15 Gorgug: Squeem, what does that mean?

0:52:18 Brennan: Squeem puts its head to your head.

0:52:22 Gorgug: No, Squeem! Squeem, not like this. Squeem!

0:52:28 Squeem: Squeem.

0:52:29 Gorgug: I'll always remember what you said to me.

0:52:32 Ally: I yank the hand mirror so I can see what's going on out there.

0:52:38 Zac: I do a tear.

0:52:40 Brennan: A tiny bit of moisture comes out of the crystalline face of Squeem's single mono-eye beam of pink light.

0:52:49 Squeem: Squeem.

0:52:53 Brennan: And Squeem leaps off the van.

0:52:53 Siobhan: Squeem!

0:52:57 Brennan: And is going to attempt to grapple–

0:52:59 Zac: The guy coming up over there?

0:53:00 Brennan: The guy coming up behind you. He's gonna make a shove attack.

0:53:05 Ally: Squeem, you've given enough already!

0:53:07 Brennan: Squeem rolls a natural two, faceplants, and tumbles into the dust.

0:53:15 All: Squeem!

0:53:17 Adaine: Wow, he's doing a Fabian.

0:53:17 Brennan: Squeem!

0:53:20 Fabian: No, Squeem! You're not as acrobatic as I am!

0:53:23 Zac: Do I open my hand, and there's a little letter?

0:53:26 Brennan: Yeah, the letter has a small rose drawn in it, and it says, "Squeem."

0:53:34 Zac: Just ugly crying.

0:53:38 Brennan: Adaine Abernant, Elven Oracle, that is your turn.

0:53:41 Siobhan: Okay, let's freaking go.

0:53:43 Brennan: This is gonna be a long one, folks. Strap in.

0:53:44 Siobhan: It's gonna be a long freaking roll. Okay, so first of all, each of these, they're actually dust mephits, not steam mephits. I misspoke earlier. I have a lot of mephits. So each of them is going to–

0:53:53 Emily: So that's why you're so dusty.

0:53:56 Zac: That's where the dust is coming from.

0:53:57 Siobhan: Yes, that's where the dust is coming from. Do a Blinding Breath. [quiet adventurous music] The mephit exhales a 15 foot cone of blinding dust. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw or be blinded for one minute. So there's two on each side.

0:54:08 Zac: All around me.

0:54:11 Siobhan: So each of these guys has to make two DC 10 Dexterity saving throws.

0:54:15 Brennan: Each of who needs to make that?

0:54:17 Siobhan: So both the mount and the guy on both sides.

0:54:20 Brennan: On both sides, great.

0:54:21 Siobhan: So every one of those, making two rolls.

0:54:22 Brennan: Okay, gotcha.

0:54:22 Siobhan: For eight total.

0:54:24 Brennan: For eight total, and what's the DC on that?

0:54:25 Siobhan: 10.

0:54:25 Brennan: 10, let's go. Okay, let's do Yorbie on my left. Fails twice.

0:54:32 Emily: Yorbie on my left, Yorbie on my right.

0:54:36 Brennan: His mount fails once. Yorbie on my right fails once.

0:54:41 Ally: One, two, three, four!

0:54:41 Brennan: Mount fails once.

0:54:44 Emily: They're all blind.

0:54:44 Brennan: They all fail at least once, and the guy on my left fails twice.

0:54:47 Siobhan: Great, so even if they fail– doesn't matter. If they fail, they failed.

0:54:51 Brennan: Okay, and they're all blinded?

0:54:52 Siobhan: So they're blinded. They can repeat a saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending this effect on a success.

0:54:58 Brennan: Actually, I'm just gonna give these as little status conditions to them. Blinded. Disadvantage, fellas, sorry. What does it look like? By the way, you all see, resonating with the white, crackling light of the Elven Oracle, all these little steamy, gremlin-like flying imp creatures.

0:55:15 Siobhan: So I think that they're hanging onto the side of the Hangvan. They just put their feet into the ground and dust just throws up.

0:55:25 Brennan: They start scratching at their eyes as they go,

0:55:28 Mephits: [breathy] The dust of the ground is the weapon we summon for our own mistress, we are made of vapor.

0:55:34 Adaine: Okay, you don't need to talk. You just need to dust.

0:55:36 Ally: How does their voice sound so wet when they're so dry?

0:55:40 Brennan: Sorry, you said dust mephits, right?

0:55:42 Siobhan: They're dust mephits, yeah.

0:55:43 Brennan: Okay, so it's more like,

0:55:43 Dust Mephits: Mistress! [coughs]

0:55:46 Brennan: Just like when you get a big thing of Ovaltine or Swiss Miss, you're like... [coughs] Cinnamon challenge behavior over here.

0:55:54 Gorgug: Do you need water?

0:55:54 Siobhan: They are just doing the cinnamon challenge.

0:55:57 Dust Mephits: Not water! It would destroy me!

0:55:59 Gorgug: Okay.

0:56:01 Brennan: That's just your conjured elementals.

0:56:03 Siobhan: That's my elementals' turn, and then I'm going to bonus action cast True Strike, because I can do that with my sword, and I gain advantage on my first attack roll against the Night Yorb. And I am going to cast Chromatic Orb at a 5th level, thunder damage.

0:56:19 Brennan: Ooh.

0:56:19 Ally: Yeah!

0:56:22 Brennan: Eldritch Blast does force, right?

0:56:24 Emily: Force, yeah.

0:56:24 Siobhan: Have we, in our travels, learned anything about the Night Yorb's–

0:56:29 Brennan: Yeah, give me Arcana or Investigation.

0:56:31 Siobhan: Great. That is a 17 Arcana.

0:56:36 Brennan: 17 Arcana, I will give you either immunities or resistances or vulnerabilities, but not all three.

0:56:45 Siobhan: Vulnerabilities, please.

0:56:45 Brennan: Vulnerabilities, radiant. Takes double damage from radiant.

0:56:49 Ally: Ohh!

0:56:50 Siobhan: Chromatic Orb doesn't do that, so I will do thunder.

0:56:54 Brennan: Okay, cool.

0:56:54 Lou: Rude!

0:56:58 Siobhan: 16?

0:56:59 Brennan: 16 to hit?

0:56:59 Siobhan: To hit.

0:57:01 Brennan: 16 does not hit.

0:57:01 Siobhan: Damn! Okay. Well, there we go. That is it, the end of my turn. The dust mephits were great.

0:57:11 Brennan: I would love for my big bad guy to not take a 5th level Chromatic Orb, but you do have Boggy helping you.

0:57:17 Siobhan: I already rolled with advantage because of True Strike. But with True Strike, also, I have the dodge action.

0:57:21 Brennan: Yeah, that's better. Yeah, for sure. And then your hound is not doing anything right now either, right?

0:57:25 Siobhan: The hound is really only if somebody gets up on–

0:57:28 Brennan: Gets up in your grill.

0:57:28 Siobhan: With us, yeah.

0:57:30 Brennan: Hell yeah. Adaine, that is your turn. The mephits blind the Yorbies and their mounts surrounding you. That is going to be Gorgug Thistlespring.

0:57:38 Zac: I think Gorgug is looking around and seeing all the blinded people around him and is like, they're not maybe as much of a factor as I thought they would, and I'm gonna try to reel in the solar lasso. I can do that as my turn?

0:57:50 Brennan: You can do two attacks on that, if you want.

0:57:52 Zac: Yeah, so I would just roll like I did last time?

0:57:55 Brennan: Yeah, you're rolling your attack, and this creature, it's adding plus 12, but it's rolling disadvantage.

0:58:01 Zac: Come here, big boy.

0:58:01 Brennan: So I'll let you know the first thing you've got to beat. Okay, 17 is what you've got to beat.

0:58:06 Zac: Okay.

0:58:06 Brennan: On the first one.

0:58:08 Zac: I'm not rolling with advantage.

0:58:10 Brennan: You could.

0:58:10 Emily: You could Reckless.

0:58:11 Brennan: You could Reckless.

0:58:11 Zac: Oh yeah, I'll Reckless.

0:58:13 Brennan: Go for it.

0:58:13 Emily: Come on!

0:58:14 Brennan: Got to beat a 17.

0:58:14 Emily: Come on!

0:58:18 Zac: So I got 13 plus 5, 18 on the first one, but I'll roll to see if I–

0:58:22 Brennan: Roll to see if you crit.

0:58:26 Zac: I did not.

0:58:26 Brennan: Okay, so that is a success. It comes down to 40 feet. You have 40 feet of slack.

0:58:32 Zac: Come on! I'm gonna go one more time.

0:58:38 Brennan: Okay, 4 plus 12 is– You’ve got to beat a 16.

0:58:41 Zac: 21.

0:58:42 Brennan: 21! 35 feet of slack.

0:58:45 Emily: You're going fishing!

0:58:45 Brennan: As you're pulling it in, describe what it looks like as you're manning this.

0:58:51 Zac: I'm gone fishing. Pulling it in, kind of cranking a thing on the side that pulls the rope in further.

0:59:01 Brennan: And the rope is this crackling, Ghostbusters-esque thing of energy.

0:59:06 Zac: I'm spitting out dust.

0:59:06 Brennan: It really is strange. I think you see there's a huge magazine where this thing that feels like it should be a spell effect is just being wound up like cable, like a garden hose of pure energy.

0:59:19 Gorgug: The sooner we get out of here, the sooner I get all these people off the top of my van.

0:59:25 Brennan: Any bonus actions from Gorgug?

0:59:27 Zac: I think that is it for Gorgug.

0:59:29 Brennan: Kristen Applebees, you are up next. [music fades]

0:59:31 Ally: Great. I'm in the backseat. I think I kinda dip my head out the window a little bit, feel that hot desert air, and I'm just like,

0:59:40 Kristen: Wow, this is really our last thing before we go back and start school.

0:59:45 Ally: I have a little bit of dread. I just feel a little bit weird.

0:59:48 Zac: You got the Sunday scaries?

0:59:49 Ally: I have the Sunday scaries in a major way.

0:59:52 Brennan: It's the Sunday scaries if you worked the weekend.

0:59:56 Ally: You're like, goddammit. I hear Gorgug saying, gone fishing! And I just reach my hand out and kinda touch your foot and I go [Zac yelps]

1:00:07 Kristen: You're killing it, buddy.

1:00:08 Ally: And I cast Greater Invisibility on you.

1:00:11 Zac: Oh!

1:00:11 Siobhan: Oh, cool.

1:00:13 Emily: Okay. Gorgug fell off the van!

1:00:17 Brennan: Greater Invisibility will burn concentration.

1:00:19 Ally: I know, so I think I'm gonna get rid of–

1:00:22 Murph: The Circle of Power? Does it work on the van?

1:00:23 Brennan: Ooh, great question. Let me see the card. Circle of Power. So the van's not a creature, cool.

1:00:29 Emily: Really? He has a little voice and stuff.

1:00:32 Brennan: Well, there's sort of an angel in the gas tank.

1:00:34 Lou: That's right, we put a crystal in the–

1:00:36 Brennan: Zaphriel's in there, being like,

1:00:36 Zaphriel: What's up? The angel of chill times, what's up?

1:00:42 Gorgug: Zaphriel, you ran over some people pretty hard.

1:00:44 Zaphriel: No, man. Don't put that on me, brother.

1:00:46 Ally: All right, all right, I still say, you're doing a great job, but I don't do shit. I'm just kinda touching your foot. I'm just gonna cast Cure Wounds on myself because I only have 14 hit points right now.

1:00:58 Brennan: Ooh shit, okay. Good call.

1:01:01 Emily: I'm sorry, I could've Healing Worded you.

1:01:02 Ally: Oh no, you're good. I got 22.

1:01:05 Emily: Fabian is maybe...

1:01:05 Lou: It was my pride as well. It wasn't just HP, you know? There was more to heal.

1:01:12 Emily: The healing was for your pride.

1:01:13 Murph: You started this season by getting run over, immediately.

1:01:18 Lou: There's something so fun to the whole van and everyone being up there, and it's just, yeah.

1:01:23 ZAc: It's such a status shift, just following on a motorcycle.

1:01:26 Lou: Exactly. Wait up!

1:01:29 Ally: Then I'm just gonna move back to the center of the van.

1:01:32 Brennan: Any other spells or anything? Oh, you cured yourself, great.

1:01:35 Ally: Cured myself, touched Gorgug's foot.

1:01:40 Zac: Object interaction, touch Gorgug's foot.

1:01:42 Ally: Oh no, sorry, I'm still at the window for my Dex save thing that I can do for the car.

1:01:46 Emily: Touch Gorgug's foot.

1:01:46 Zac: My dust-covered boot.

1:01:49 Ally: Yeah, I touch it and then I put my hand down and went, Jesus Christ.

1:01:50 Lou: Just a lot of this.

1:01:55 Siobhan: Wiping it on the chairs of the Hangvan.

1:01:58 Brennan: Hell yeah, okay.

1:01:58 Ally: Oh, what is that?

1:02:00 Murph: Don't like to see that.

1:02:00 Lou: What the hell is that?

1:02:01 All: Oh, is that– a piece of pizza's gonna go on there?

1:02:04 Zac: Is that an invisible piece of pizza?

1:02:05 Murph: Go ahead and slap that piece of pizza down.

1:02:07 Emily: Is that a spell?

1:02:07 Lou: Are you trying to figure out where the pizza is gonna go on the table?

1:02:10 Brennan: It is not a spell.

1:02:10 Emily: What?

1:02:11 Brennan: It's a breath weapon.

1:02:12 Emily: Okay, but this would be a magical effect though, right? A magical effect for rolling with advantage, because of the Circle of Power.

1:02:19 Ally: On our saving throws.

1:02:19 Brennan: Yes, this is magical.

1:02:20 Ally: Yeah!

1:02:20 Brennan: Correct, correct.

1:02:22 Ally: Glad I didn't just make Gorgug invisible instead.

1:02:25 Brennan: The Night Yorb's turn.

1:02:25 Ally: First turn?

1:02:28 Brennan: This is the Night Yorb's first turn. It has legendary actions, but–

1:02:31 Emily: So it's coming out of his butt, though. The breath weapon is definitely coming out–

1:02:34 Siobhan: It's a cold fart.

1:02:35 Ally: That's still breath! That's still breath.

1:02:37 Zac: In inky blackness, a butthole appears.

1:02:41 Ally: You're enveloped in butthole.

1:02:44 Siobhan: It smells so good.

1:02:44 Lou: What is that?

1:02:46 Brennan: 35 feet away.

1:02:46 Lou: It's that scene in a movie where they're like, what's happening?

1:02:50 Brennan: Yeah, that's everybody. Okay, this is gonna take a minute.

1:02:54 Lou: Including me?

1:02:55 Brennan: No, you're good. You're golden.

1:02:57 Lou: Are you sure?

1:02:57 Brennan: Fabian.

1:02:59 Lou: Would you let me?

1:03:00 Brennan: Fabian, you jumped out of the car.

1:03:01 Lou: Well, I was gonna get back in! I did not jump out of the car.

1:03:06 Siobhan: He fell out of the car.

1:03:06 Ally: Shatters the mirror immediately. [Murph gasps]

1:03:09 Brennan: Okay.

1:03:11 Lou: Don't you dare.

1:03:11 Brennan: Hm?

1:03:13 Lou: Don't you hurt Ecaf.

1:03:16 Brennan: I'm gonna need everybody on top of the Hangvan. I'm gonna need the Hangvan. I'll allow Gorgug to roll Constitution saves for the Hangvan because you work on it and build it, and all people within the Hangvan, I need Constitution saving throws.

1:03:32 Siobhan: And we roll this with advantage and with Bless.

1:03:34 Brennan: Advantage and Bless, yep.

1:03:35 Murph: Okay, so you've got the Constitution save, so there's no Dex save at all.

1:03:38 Siobhan: Fuck me.

1:03:40 Lou: Oh, yuck.

1:03:40 Emily: Oh my god.

1:03:42 Lou: Yuck.

1:03:42 Emily: I'm gonna use a Luck point, because I rolled so poorly.

1:03:45 Murph: Ooh! Okay.

1:03:48 Zac: So the Hangvan got a 13 on the Con save.

1:03:51 Emily: Okay, that's way better.

1:03:51 Zac: That's not great.

1:03:52 Lou: You've got to throw them out. Throw them out. Toss them out, get them out of there. Get them out of there.

1:03:56 Emily: I'm using my Bardic as well.

1:03:56 Ally: Not too bad.

1:03:58 Emily: 24 for Fig.

1:03:58 Brennan: Hell yes. Also, please roll and just note down with pencil real quick any of your allies or conjurations–

1:04:08 Lou: Can I roll for Ecaf?

1:04:08 Brennan: Roll for Ecaf.

1:04:10 Siobhan: Fuck, the allies and conjurations.

1:04:11 Ally: Don't use that one! You're gonna kill her.

1:04:17 Siobhan: Oh my god, what is going on with my rolls? [Brennan shaking a handful of dice]

1:04:21 Emily: Just use new dice. Did you roll to see who was hot and who was–

1:04:24 Siobhan: Yes!

1:04:26 Lou: Are you about to sing a song? I think Brennan's gonna sing a song.

1:04:29 Murph: I might go down anyway.

1:04:31 Lou: Don't worry, guys. I'll save us.

1:04:34 Brennan: [counting] 38, 41, 47, 51, 58..

1:04:39 Zac: I did not roll great.

1:04:41 Lou: Ecaf's gonna be okay, right?

1:04:43 Zac: Hey.

1:04:44 Lou: I already watched Squeem die today. I can't also lose–

1:04:47 Zac: Is Squeem dead?

1:04:47 Ally: Is Squeem dead?

1:04:49 Murph: Squeem is absolutely dead.

1:04:50 Emily: Are we sure that Squeem didn't just need to go home?

1:04:53 Lou: It kinda felt like Squeem was like, I'm done.

1:04:55 Brennan: Let me know if you rolled under a 19, 18 or lower.

1:04:57 Emily: I did not.

1:04:59 Siobhan: I did, and also all of my dust mephits.

1:05:00 Zac: Hangvan and Gorgug.

1:05:03 Brennan: Hangvan and Gorgug, and Adaine–

1:05:04 Siobhan: Adaine and all of the dust mephits. Do I have to roll for Boggy as well?

1:05:08 Lou: Ecaf rolled a 19 on the die.

1:05:11 Brennan: Let's go!

1:05:11 Emily: Ooh, Ecaf!

1:05:13 Siobhan: Okay, Boggy makes it.

1:05:13 Brennan: Boggy makes it! Okay, so Adaine, Gorgug, Hangvan, all mephits fail. Kristen?

1:05:23 Kristen: 19.

1:05:25 Brennan: 19.

1:05:26 Murph: 21.

1:05:26 Brennan: 21, okay. Adaine, Gorgug, the Hangvan, and the mephits take 61 points of sonic damage.

1:05:34 Siobhan: Oh my god, I have one hit point left.

1:05:36 Brennan: You are kidding me!

1:05:37 Siobhan: No, wait, I'm down.

1:05:37 Emily: No!

1:05:39 Siobhan: I already took those 10 damage.

1:05:41 Brennan: Okay, everyone else takes

1:05:44 Ally: Uh-uh. "Additionally, when an affected creature succeeds on a saving throw made against a spell or magical effect that allows it to take only half damage, it instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw."

1:05:55 Murph: Thank you.

1:05:56 Emily: Huge, huge! That was totally gonna break my concentration!

1:05:59 Lou: You were gonna kill Ecaf!

1:06:00 Emily: You were coming after my Hex concentration, and you didn't get it!

1:06:03 Brennan: No! We've come a long way from Ice Feast, folks.

1:06:11 Ally: I bought the book!

1:06:13 Brennan: I bought the fucking book! Ribbon dance this, motherfucker! Wow.

1:06:18 Zac: Gorgug's just like,

1:06:18 Gorgug: Nice, guys!

1:06:20 Brennan: So let me be clear.

1:06:20 Siobhan: Wait!

1:06:22 Brennan: What's that?

1:06:22 Siobhan: Do I have Dodge? Wait, but I already had advantage, so it doesn't matter.

1:06:25 Brennan: Dodge is only on attacks, and this is a saving throw.

1:06:27 Siobhan: Fuck, goddamn.

1:06:28 Brennan: Bless would work for anyone that has Bless.

1:06:30 Siobhan: I, with Bless and advantage, rolled a nine.

1:06:33 Lou: It was nasty over here.

1:06:33 Siobhan: It was really rough. Every single one of my rolls was very bad. It was Fabian-level nasty over here.

1:06:40 Brennan: Kristen.

1:06:40 Lou: Rude.

1:06:41 Brennan: So here's the thing–

1:06:41 Siobhan: I fucking Murphed it.

1:06:43 Brennan: Boggy and Ecaf would be obliterated at that damage and instead are saved. Can you describe what Kristen's magic looks like in this moment?

1:06:53 Ally: Yes, Kristen is at the very end of the yerba mate protein shake where it's just all sand, and she doesn't grimace, kinda like guys when they drink whiskey. Closes it, sees this crazy sonic attack coming, and just kinda flexes a little bit. Looks down and is like,

1:07:17 Kristen: Damn, I'm getting bigger by the day.

1:07:22 Murph: What the hell are you doing?

1:07:23 Ally: And then I just kinda reach, whoever's feet I can touch, I do just kinda reach, and I'm going, you guys are doing a great job. You guys are doing such a great job.

1:07:32 Emily: The idea that your divine magic now comes from how swole you're getting is so funny.

1:07:39 Brennan: You hear, muffled with your EarPods, Cassandra being like,

1:07:41 Cassandra: And if you want any night magic or anything that would–

1:07:46 Kristen: I think I'm good. I just, god, I don't know. I'm just kinda doing my own thing right now. I'm just kinda doing my own thing.

1:07:55 Ally: I put my EarPods back in.

1:07:56 Cassandra: Do you want me to theme myself more around shakes or smoothies?

1:08:00 Ally: My podcast is like, [deep voice] "And if you wake up and get natural sunlight in your eyes within 20 minutes, it'll really help you stay motivated throughout the day."

1:08:09 Brennan: Incredible. Truly unbelievable, actually.

1:08:14 Zac: Guys drinking whiskey is gonna stick with me.

1:08:17 Ally: When you're just like, that's good.

1:08:20 Emily: The strength, being able to finish the end of a protein smoothie without wincing.

1:08:25 Siobhan: I love a drink that's also a dare.

1:08:26 Brennan: So Adaine does go down.

1:08:28 Siobhan: I go down.

1:08:28 Brennan: Adaine goes down.

1:08:30 Emily: We're gonna get you back up, girl!

1:08:32 Brennan: Boggy and Moggy are both–

1:08:35 Siobhan: No, Moggy does not go anywhere, bitch. Moggy cannot take damage and is not a concentration spell.

1:08:41 Brennan: Let's go, I'm gonna need a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw from Gorgug and Fig.

1:08:46 Emily: Okay.

1:08:46 Ally: You guys got this.

1:08:47 Zac: And I can do these with advantage?

1:08:49 Brennan: Yep.

1:08:49 Zac: Okay.

1:08:51 Emily: And this is a saving throw, so I can add the Bless.

1:08:53 Zac: I got a 23.

1:08:56 Brennan: Hell yeah. [gentle instrumental]

1:08:58 Emily: I got a 15 exactly!

1:08:58 Brennan: 15, Fig and Gorgug, as Adaine gets blasted by this– you see that the Night Yorb just goes... [mimics eldritch thrumming] It opens a hole in a membrane in the bottom of its flat body, and you just hear the psychic emanations of darkness beyond life and sonic energy, the rupturing of your very realm, and Adaine gets blasted and taken out. All of the mephits vanish as the sonic wave hits them all. However–

1:09:30 Siobhan: Dry guys!

1:09:32 Emily: My dry guys.

1:09:34 Siobhan: The dry guys.

1:09:37 Brennan: The dry guys? [inspirational instrumental] At this same exact instant, as Adaine goes to fly off the roof, Gorgug and Fig, you each reach out and grab Adaine by the jacket and keep her from going off the edge.

1:09:47 Zac: I'm holding a little enamel pin. [music fades]

1:09:50 Ally: Oh, this is cool.

1:09:50 Brennan: Gorgug, you take that. How does Gorgug look? You take that sonic damage as well.

1:09:54 Zac: I was full health, so I'm at 60.

1:09:57 Brennan: Damn, okay. Copy that. The Hangvan is currently at 65 HP out of 150, so the Hangvan is bloodied. [tense music] You see all of the glass in the windows is shattered. The engine is making a weird noise. Adaine is down. One of your sigilists is down. Things are looking dire.

1:10:17 Emily: Gorgug, how do we heal the Hangvan?

1:10:19 Zac: We take it to a shop for three to four days, depending on how busy they are.

1:10:24 Murph: Brennan I hate to be this guy, but did we hit our mishap threshold?

1:10:27 Brennan: You did hit your mishap threshold.

1:10:29 Zac: Murph!

1:10:29 Murph: Teacher?

1:10:32 Brennan: I'm gonna need a Constitution saving throw. The DC for this is... So, the Hangvan took 61 points of damage, so the DC is gonna be 30 on a Constitution saving throw.

1:10:44 Zac: With my Con.

1:10:44 Brennan: With your Con.

1:10:46 Zac: And I can do this with advantage or no, due to that spell?

1:10:51 Brennan: Oh yeah, this is a magical effect, so you can do this with advantage.

1:10:55 Zac: Come on. [tense music continues] Come on!

1:10:58 Zac: Okay.

1:10:58 Emily: Okay, we like that.

1:10:59 Lou: Come on.

1:10:59 Emily: Ooh, we like that.

1:11:01 Zac: It's not gonna be 30, but a dirty 20.

1:11:03 Brennan: We're gonna roll a Luck check. One is body, two is wheels, three is engine, four is steering. Three is engine. Something breaks in the engine, you cannot–

1:11:18 Siobhan: Can I use–

1:11:18 Brennan: Sorry, yeah.

1:11:20 Siobhan: ...my divination roll on that roll?

1:11:23 Brennan: If you replace one of your d20s with a d4 roll right now, you can.

1:11:27 Siobhan: Pass.

1:11:27 Brennan: Okay. So the wheels would have slowed you down. What happens to the engine is, something busts. You are going to gas it every single round. In other words, you hear the brake line go. The van can't stop right now.

1:11:41 Ally: Okay!

1:11:44 Emily: Interesting.

1:11:44 Zac: All right, all right.

1:11:46 Riz: This is kinda like "Speed", the movie "Speed".

1:11:49 Adaine: Yeah, sure.

1:11:49 Kristen: I love "Speed".

1:11:51 Riz: It's like "Speed". Kristen loves "Speed"! Kristen's seen "Speed"!

1:11:55 Brennan: You hear the engine whining. The Night Yorb has just dropped the Elven Oracle. Gorgug is badly injured. The Yorbies are closing in. As they do so, you hear from the distance...

1:12:06 Zac: Dad?

1:12:08 Brennan: [mimics hooves clopping] And you hear a noise going,

1:12:10 Balthazar: Hey kids, you save me some breakfast?

1:12:12 Brennan: It's Balthazar and Duggan McCann! [Western instrumental]

1:12:15 All: Oh my god, Balthazar! [players cheering]

1:12:17 Adaine: Duggan! That guy rules!

1:12:17 Fabian: Thank god for Balthazar.

1:12:20 Riz: Late as always, gang.

1:12:24 Ally: You're like a real guy's guy with them, and none of us understand how they can't see through it. They think you're so cool.

1:12:31 Zac: Riz fully tricked them.

1:12:33 Brennan: So yeah, Balthazar, a grizzled veteran, and Duggan McCann, a centaur cowboy, begin to charge through the expanse.

1:12:42 Ally: Oh, thank god.

1:12:43 Riz: Guess they'll let anyone on this battlefield!

1:12:46 Adaine: Who said that?

1:12:46 Gorgug: Hey, you shoot six bullets, and you shoot six more!

1:12:50 Duggan McCann: Hey! Pow pow pow pow pow pow pow.

1:12:53 Brennan: Duggan McCann empties his revolvers into the sky.

1:12:55 Gorgug: Put bullets back in! Put bullets back in!

1:12:55 Murph: But also shoot the bad guys, yeah.

1:12:57 Brennan: We're gonna go, yeah, Balthazar and Duggan McCann are gonna go.

1:12:58 Emily: Yeah!

1:13:02 Fabian: What's going on up there? Did somebody show up?

1:13:05 Fig: Yeah, Balthazar and Duggan did!

1:13:07 Fabian: Oh! Yes!

1:13:10 Fig: Did you put in your coffee order with them?

1:13:12 Fabian: No! I didn't know anyone was making a run! I would have gotten a cortado!

1:13:20 Siobhan: Adaine, from prone.

1:13:20 Adaine: That's not what a cortado is.

1:13:24 Fabian: I would have gotten a tea-based cortado!

1:13:26 Brennan: So Duggan McCann and Balthazar rush in. Your allies, your beloved allies from this great Night Yorb adventure.

1:13:34 Fig: Duggan, how are the kids?

1:13:36 Duggan: My kids? I'll tell you what. If you like a hard, stiff drink, then you'd better go back–

1:13:41 Ally: These are your guys.

1:13:45 Zac: He got older since the last time we saw him.

1:13:48 Brennan: Balthazar is here, who's this sort of suave silver fox veteran who goes,

1:13:54 Balthazar: Don't get Duggan started on his kids.

1:13:57 Duggan: Those freeloaders... [mumbling]

1:14:01 Brennan: Pow, pow, pow, pow! Duggan is blasted. He's really drunk on the battlefield.

1:14:08 Emily: His kids are in college.

1:14:09 Zac: Are you even supposed to be doing this?

1:14:10 Emily: He's just like whatever now.

1:14:13 Brennan: You see Balthazar is going to rush up from Duggan and just wait by the side of the road right here and holds a hand out like he's gonna grab the van.

1:14:24 Ally: We are going 160 and we're only gunning it.

1:14:27 Riz: We don't have brakes anymore, Balthazar.

1:14:30 Brennan: You see he says,

1:14:30 Balthazar: You took the brakes off? Hey, this group took the brakes off a long time ago. Hey!

1:14:38 Gorgug: Be careful, though.

1:14:39 Ally: I lean out the other window like this, like I'm going to–

1:14:41 Brennan: You're gonna get him? Incredible. No ability for the Hangvan to slow down. You hear Zaphriel say,

1:14:47 Zaphriel: Guys, it feels pretty bad in here.

1:14:51 Fig: Okay, what are you gonna do about it?

1:14:54 Zaphriel: I don't know, I'm in a gem, so I'll probably be chill, but I'm worried about you.

1:14:58 Fig: My dad's been in a lot of gems.

1:15:00 Zaphriel: Wow, sick, and I'm sorry.

1:15:04 Brennan: You see the Night Yorb pulling ahead as the slack goes tauter and tauter and a giant jump up ahead of you as you begin to pursue. Question for the blindness, does that go away when the mephits go away?

1:15:17 Siobhan: I don't believe so. It's not a concentration spell. It's actually not a spell.

1:15:20 Brennan: It's just an effect?

1:15:21 Siobhan: It's Blinding Breath. It's an effect.

1:15:23 Brennan: Okay, so those Yorbies are effectively taken out of combat because this combat is in a chase. So blind, they can't pursue you, and they're just left in the dust.

1:15:32 Siobhan: Hell yeah.

1:15:32 Adaine: I did something, guys! I did something this fight! I was good!

1:15:36 Brennan: I was good! Please believe me, I was good!

1:15:37 Gorgug: Adaine's murmuring in her sleep.

1:15:40 Fig: Which one? Which Adaine?

1:15:40 Gorgug: They're all murmuring!

1:15:44 Siobhan: They all follow my exact movements.

1:15:46 Brennan: Riz Gukgak, you are next to act.

1:15:47 Murph: Oh boy. Okay. Out of character, does the Night Yorb look like it's healed up at all or anything?

1:15:58 Emily: Yeah, how would it look after the 40 damage that I did?

1:16:00 Brennan: Fig put it, I would say, solidly under bloodied, right? It's looking strong and vital, but it's having one of the most terrible days it can remember.

1:16:13 Zac: It's a vulture!

1:16:14 Brennan: Okay.

1:16:14 Siobhan: Yeah, I know. That's probably the real–

1:16:18 Lou: That's rude, Rick. That's straight-up rude.

1:16:21 Zac: Rick knows.

1:16:21 Siobhan: ...NY.

1:16:22 Murph: Okay, so there is still one person there, though, chasing us, or are they out?

1:16:27 Emily: There's one on this side.

1:16:29 Ally: We're flanked.

1:16:31 Brennan: No, those are the guys from before that you did not run over, who are keeping abreast–

1:16:36 Siobhan: This guy you did a lot of damage to already.

1:16:37 Brennan: Yes, he's very, very wounded.

1:16:39 Murph: Okay, so I should just get rid of that dude.

1:16:42 Zac: You could shoot the vulture, but that seems–

1:16:44 Lou: At least investigate the vulture.

1:16:46 Emily: Guys, what if the vulture is the Night Yorb's heart?

1:16:51 Murph: I'm gonna resist attacking the vulture.

1:16:53 Zac: This is me, Zac, saying Night Yorb.

1:16:55 Murph: And I'm gonna attack the guy that I already hurt.

1:16:58 Brennan: Go for it. Give me an attack roll.

1:16:59 Murph: Okay, so I guess I'll do my little move of hiding first.

1:17:02 Brennan: Hell yeah, go for it.

1:17:03 Murph: And that's a 22 to hide.

1:17:03 Brennan: Great.

1:17:05 Murph: And then I will pop out from the position of the pedals, and that's a 20 to hit.

1:17:13 Brennan: 20 hits.

1:17:13 Lou: Hya!

1:17:15 Emily: Hya!

1:17:15 Lou: Hya!

1:17:16 Murph: And I will do all my damage.

1:17:16 Brennan: Go for it.

1:17:19 Murph: 23 damage.

1:17:20 Brennan: You blast that Yorbie in the chest.

1:17:23 Yorbie: I remember the Night Yorb!

1:17:25 Riz: No, don't say that!

1:17:25 Yorbie: Night Yorb!

1:17:27 Riz: The thing, the thing!

1:17:27 Gorgug: Yell over it!

1:17:29 Brennan: Toast, blam. [bass-heavy instrumental] That's action, bonus action from Riz. You all see, at the end of Riz's turn, Balthazar, with a hand up, makes eye contact with you, Fabian, in the back racing up and says,

1:17:39 Balthazar: Dawdling again? What, are we back in Sylvaire?

1:17:44 Fabian: Oh, come on, Big B! I'm doing the best I can!

1:17:47 Balthazar: Hey, I've seen... [grunts]

1:17:49 Brennan: And the Night Yorb's tail grabs Balthazar and whips him up– [players screaming]

1:17:53 Lou: Big B!

1:17:53 Fig: Balthazar!

1:17:56 Balthazar: Whoa! This bull's ready to buck!

1:17:59 Fig: You never gave me your chili recipe!

1:18:04 Brennan: Can you go ahead and Blu Tack Balthazar to the end of the Night Yorb's tail?

1:18:09 Lou: I just snapped–

1:18:09 Brennan: Balthazar right in half. Just put the Blu Tack on his back. He's being held from the midsection.

1:18:15 Lou: God, he's hot, dude.

1:18:15 Siobhan: So hot.

1:18:17 Ally: He's been hot this whole time.

1:18:19 Lou: Of course.

1:18:20 Brennan: Balthazar goes,

1:18:20 Balthazar: Don't worry about me, hoss! Take care of business, I'll take care of the Night Yorb.

1:18:24 Fabian: Hey, you got it, Big B!

1:18:26 Gorgug: Don't say it, man!

1:18:27 Brennan: Night Yorb heals five hit points.

1:18:28 All: What? No!

1:18:31 Murph: Balthazar!

1:18:31 Emily: You can't use your NPCs!

1:18:33 Brennan: Sorry! Balthazar forgot! [bass instrumental continues]

1:18:37 Zac: Your face when when you go... [sigh] He gains five hit points.

1:18:40 Brennan: Sorry, there's nothing I can do. Still bloodied, still bloodied. Fabian, that's your turn.

1:18:45 Lou: Well, I think I'm gonna navigate through all the blood and bodies that Riz is leaving in his wake as I desperately try and catch up. I'm gonna use the Hangman's full movement to hopefully catch up to the Hangvan, and I'd like to pull up alongside on the back right of the Hangvan. So this person is not blinded, they're in our business?

1:19:13 Brennan: Yes, they're in your business, fully competent.

1:19:15 Lou: Great, I'm gonna attack their mount with Fandrangor.

1:19:18 Emily: Yeah, baby!

1:19:21 Brennan: Fandrangor, the Sword of the Elven Kings. Go for it, Fabian.

1:19:24 Lou: Great. That's gonna be a 32 to hit.

1:19:31 Brennan: 32 hits.

1:19:31 Lou: Okay. 32 misses? A 16 on the mount.

1:19:36 Brennan: Wow, okay. On the mount. A 32 and a 16. Both hit.

1:19:42 Lou: Great, we're gonna make this first one, add a superiority die, make it a trip attack.

1:19:47 Brennan: Let's go.

1:19:47 Lou: As much as I can do. And on top of that, I will burn a 2nd level spell to add 2d6 from Fandrangor that are radiant.

1:20:00 Siobhan: Yes, great.

1:20:00 Lou: So, 7, 17 plus 9 equals–

1:20:08 Emily: 26!

1:20:08 Lou: There it is.

1:20:10 Brennan: Fabian, not only do you murder this giant bug, but also, it trips under the skill of your blade. Describe it for me, what it looks like.

1:20:18 Lou: I stab the mount hard.

1:20:21 Brennan: I'm gonna roll a Dex save for this rider as his mount gets swiped out from under him.

1:20:25 Emily: Fail!

1:20:25 Brennan: 19.

1:20:26 Emily: No!

1:20:26 Brennan: He makes it. You see that he clings to the side of the Hangvan as his mount goes out from under him, but you have a second attack.

1:20:32 Lou: Oh, I used it on... I didn't know. I rolled both attacks.

1:20:38 Brennan: Okay, and did all that damage.

1:20:39 Lou: Yes.

1:20:39 Brennan: Gotcha, copy that.

1:20:41 Lou: That was only one attack's worth of damage, but I had rolled both attacks.

1:20:44 Brennan: Okay, so the second attack would also hit this Yorbie that leaps from the mount to cling to the side of the–

1:20:49 Lou: Great, I'll use the damage on him, if that's all right.

1:20:51 Brennan: Cool, yeah, what's the damage?

1:20:53 Lou: Let's see. We'll burn a 1st level spell. How do you feel about 20 points of damage?

1:21:02 Brennan: Ooh! You slap him.

1:21:02 Emily: Ooh, I feel good about it.

1:21:04 Brennan: He is looking badly injured as he exposes his back to you, hanging onto the side of the moving van, and you score across, and he is looking on death's door. Actually, yeah, Blu Tack him to the side of the van, great. And then the bug is gone.

1:21:18 Lou: Great, and can I use my movement to jump... I know it's crazy. Hey, I know it didn't work last time. Can I use my movement to jump into the van?

1:21:27 Murph: Oh lord.

1:21:28 Brennan: Give me an Acrobatic check, DC 15.

1:21:31 Emily: Okay.

1:21:32 Lou: It's gonna be okay.

1:21:33 Emily: Okay!

1:21:33 Ally: I'm glad. Yeah.

1:21:35 Lou: It's gonna be all right.

1:21:36 Ally: I'm glad that we're all back.

1:21:37 Lou: I'm switching the dice.

1:21:38 Ally: I'm glad that we're all back.

1:21:39 Siobhan: Okay, there we go.

1:21:40 Lou: That is a 21.

1:21:43 Emily: [relieved] Oh!

1:21:43 Brennan: 21. Hell yes.

1:21:46 Emily: I was trying to read your reaction.

1:21:46 Siobhan: I've never been so relieved by an eight.

1:21:49 Lou: I jump in.

1:21:49 Fabian: Ecaf! Crawling over seats. Ecaf, are you all right?

1:21:54 Brennan: Ecaf, are you okay? Let me go ahead and give you your mini as you get back in the van.

1:21:58 Lou: Switching minis?

1:21:59 Brennan: Switching minis out. Actually, keep these with you, if you want. Keep them in the little side of your, you know... 'Cause you're gonna be switching.

1:22:06 Lou: I'mma be switching.

1:22:06 Brennan: Ecaf turns to you and says,

1:22:08 Ecaf: Master Seacaster, what a daring gambit.

1:22:12 Fabian: Well, we're here saving the world so that there's a world for the two of us after all of this is over, after we deal with that thing.

1:22:22 Ally: Can I do an Insight check on Ecaf?

1:22:23 Brennan: Yeah.

1:22:23 Ally: What's going on here?

1:22:24 Emily: Yeah, Ecaf mourned Fabian too quickly.

1:22:29 Ally: That is a–

1:22:29 Emily: Is Ecaf gonna turn on us?

1:22:32 Ally: That's really good. That's a 28.

1:22:34 Brennan: 28.

1:22:35 Zac: I would never believe that Ecaf–

1:22:36 Brennan: In your Night Yorb adventure, Ecaf came aboard, and tends to just reflect whatever energy they're getting. They're a mirror, right?

1:22:44 Ally: Okay, great. Okay, great. Kinda code switchy.

1:22:47 Brennan: So what happened is, whatever energy you project onto the mirror, she kinda projects back, and Fabian just gave a lot of flirty energy to this mirror right away, and the mirror went, I guess this is what this guy wants.

1:23:01 Ally: Okay, that's checks out. That's not nefarious.

1:23:03 Emily: Fabian's having his own Narcissus mythology.

1:23:06 Ally: Yeah, exactly.

1:23:06 Lou: What?

1:23:08 Brennan: Incredible. Anything else from Fabian?

1:23:10 Lou: I mean, I'm back with Ecaf, and that's everything that matters to me in the world. Great turn, all in all.

1:23:16 Brennan: Great turn, all in all.

1:23:18 Ally: You're just hard for a mirror.

1:23:21 Emily: Hard for your own reflection.

1:23:23 Lou: It's a soft focus, it's an 11! An 11!

1:23:28 Siobhan: Just a semi-chub.

1:23:28 Lou: Yeah, exactly.

1:23:30 Ally: Oh my god.

1:23:32 Lou: It doesn't look exactly like me.

1:23:34 Brennan: After your turn, Fabian, the Night Yorb whips its tail around and moves Balthazar to the underbelly of its nightly body.

1:23:44 Ally: No! Balthazar!

1:23:47 Brennan: Balthazar says,

1:23:47 Balthazar: [chuckles] I don't think... [screams] It's so cold!

1:23:51 Brennan: And Balthazar is gone.

1:23:53 Gorgug: No!

1:23:53 Fig: Balthazar!

1:23:55 Fabian: Big B!

1:23:55 Fig: Balthazar!

1:23:57 Fabian: You motherfucker!

1:23:57 Gorgug: Big B!

1:23:59 Brennan: The Night Yorb goes [gibbers] and continues to fly through the sky. Balthazar vanishes into the darkness.

1:24:06 Gorgug: Who's gonna take care of his parrots?

1:24:08 Fig: Gosh, they live so long, too! Parrots live so long!

1:24:12 Gorgug: They were six months old!

1:24:14 Brennan: Duggan goes,

1:24:14 Duggan: Dang you straight to hell, you big fish.

1:24:18 Zac: [Indistinct] six month old parrots?

1:24:20 Brennan: You continue moving along. Balthazar is no more. Balthazar is gone.

1:24:25 Lou: Pour one out for Big B.

1:24:27 Emily: Leaving a litter of six month old parrots behind.

1:24:30 Zac: That's gonna be a long time, someone's got to take care of–

1:24:32 Emily: Well–

1:24:34 Zac: Maybe we could send them to the elven island.

1:24:35 Brennan: That is going to be the Yorbies. The Yorbie on the van is going to attempt an Athletics check to get up. He rolls a natural one, falls down. Rolls a six, crushed by the van. He is gone.

1:24:53 Emily: What was your name?

1:24:55 Brennan: I think all of you in this moment where Balthazar is gone, this guy gets sucked under the van, there's just a pause for a moment. [music ends] All of you hear your heartbeats in your ears. In the distance, you hear Squeem going [Brennan squeems] as Yorbies descend on Squeem.

1:25:09 Zac: No!

1:25:09 All: Squeem!

1:25:12 Brennan: And in this moment of strangeness, all of you hear a [mimics phones dinging] on your crystals, on all of your crystals. All of you have gotten a notification from the admin's email account from the Aguefort Adventuring Academy, saying, "What a great end to orientation week ahead of this next wonderful year at the Aguefort Adventuring Academy."

1:25:34 Kristen: Wait, what? We missed it?

1:25:36 Brennan: Well, orientation week is for new students, but you're realizing that you're in the Red Waste, and basically, you have three days before the start of your junior year.

1:25:45 Gorgug: Okay.

1:25:45 Fig: Damn. A literal buzzkill.

1:25:47 Gorgug: I just kinda can't really look at this right now.

1:25:50 Kristen: Yeah. [battle music resumes]

1:25:51 Emily: I'm just gonna throw my phone under the wheel of the car.

1:25:57 Brennan: You throw it under the wheel, and it bounces behind you, and you see Squeem picks it up and turns it into a saber of light!

1:26:05 Squeem: Squeem!

1:26:08 Kristen: He's so resourceful.

1:26:08 Fig: A much better use for it.

1:26:11 Brennan: Okay, rushing from behind the rocks, Yorbies. More Yorbies come to attack. These ones are gonna rush out here. This one runs besides its fin. And following them, riding giant floating tentacled heads–

1:26:25 Ally: What?

1:26:25 Brennan: ...are more Yorbies. They come flying out.

1:26:27 Zac: Freaky.

1:26:31 Siobhan: I love that this guy is on a recumbent bug.

1:26:33 Brennan: Yes.

1:26:34 Siobhan: It's actually much better for your back.

1:26:36 Brennan: Unbelievable.

1:26:36 Emily: Oh my god.

1:26:40 Brennan: Okay, this guy jumps up on here, readies an action, and they are going to attack. One of them in the back that's riding one of these giant floating aberration heads that are called yathmags calls out and says–

1:26:53 Ally: Did you say "yas queen?"

1:26:55 Brennan: Yathmags.

1:26:55 All: Yath, mags!

1:26:59 Emily: I had the same thought.

1:27:01 Murph: Not that similar.

1:27:03 Ally: I'm so sorry–

1:27:03 Emily: No, no, no! I had the same thought!

1:27:05 Ally: It sounds like you just said yas queen. I don't know.

1:27:08 Murph: It sounded just like it.

1:27:08 Ally: Yathmag? Yas queen.

1:27:12 Brennan: Murph gets it, Murph gets it. Murph gets the struggle. As a guy who has to make up a lot of fucking names for shit, I know you get where I'm coming from.

1:27:18 Ally: It's the ya for me. It's the ya.

1:27:22 Brennan: The Hangvan, once again. That is a hit.

1:27:27 Ally: From which one of the yas queens?

1:27:29 Brennan: That's a hit. That's two hits.

1:27:31 Lou: Okay.

1:27:32 Emily: I don't know what kinda damage they do, so I'm like, do I Silvery Barbs?

1:27:33 Brennan: That's a miss. No crits though, and that damage threshold's pretty helpful, but I rolled two eights on the damage, so the Hangvan's gonna take 24 points of damage.

1:27:43 Zac: We're pretty low.

1:27:44 Emily: Not a mishap, though. Not a mishap.

1:27:46 Zac: What were we at?

1:27:46 Lou: 65.

1:27:48 Murph: Okay.

1:27:48 Zac: And then minus 24.

1:27:50 Brennan: 41 HP on the Hangvan. They're also all going to chant all together,

1:27:55 Yorbies: We love the Night Yorb!

1:27:55 Ally: Oh my god.

1:27:58 Brennan: And the Night Yorb is gonna heal some HP.

1:28:00 Emily: Does anyone have some Silence to cast on him so that he can't freaking hear his own freaking name? You've been obsessed with yourself, Night Yorb.

1:28:09 Brennan: The Night Yorb pops back above bloodied, still very, very injured.

1:28:14 Emily: And bloodied is the status we need him at to do the sigil.

1:28:16 Brennan: Yes, yes yes yes.

1:28:17 Emily: Okay, so we need to do more damage on the Night Yorb.

1:28:19 Brennan: I'm gonna need two driver's Dexterity checks for the ants that are going to attack.

1:28:24 Murph: Great.

1:28:24 Brennan: The big ol' bugs.

1:28:27 Murph: So I have disadvantage on these now.

1:28:30 Siobhan: Oh no, it's a reroll.

1:28:32 Murph: We do potentially have a reroll. Wait, and we have... Does Bless bless saving throws?

1:28:39 Brennan: These are non-magical, and Bless is not on the van.

1:28:41 Murph: Right. 16.

1:28:41 Brennan: 16? Okay, succeeds. Roll again.

1:28:48 Murph: 16.

1:28:48 Ally: Nice.

1:28:49 Brennan: Awesome.

1:28:49 Siobhan: Nice.

1:28:50 Brennan: Okay, so only 10 damage to the Hangvan. The Hangvan's at 31 out of 150.

1:28:53 Ally: Who is she?

1:28:53 Emily: Who is she?

1:28:55 Zac: 31.

1:28:55 Brennan: Who is she? 31 out of 150.

1:28:57 Zac: Okay.

1:28:58 Brennan: And then the yathmags are going to go. [Murph giggling] They are gonna target the driver. They're gonna target Riz. You see both of these heads just open and go [choking] 'Cause they have no real lungs to create bigger vocal cords so there's just sort of a slapping wet noise in the back of their–

1:29:17 Emily: So they can't be saying, if they have no lungs, they can't be saying–

1:29:21 Brennan: Let me be clear, the yathmags are more like the ants than they are like the Yorbies.

1:29:27 Emily: Okay, okay.

1:29:28 Lou: Is this an attack, or is this an attack roll?

1:29:31 Brennan: A disintegration effect is coming towards you.

1:29:33 Emily: Disintegration effect or spell?

1:29:35 Brennan: It is magical, but not a spell.

1:29:37 Lou: And not an attack roll.

1:29:39 Brennan: I'm gonna need two Dexterity saving throws, [tense music] and these are not the van. This is Riz having to make this.

1:29:48 Murph: That's pretty good for me. Okay. Oh, and then Bless.

1:29:53 Emily: Did you ever use that Silvery Barbs advantage I gave you?

1:29:56 Murph: No, I haven't. I should probably do that. I think it's on the next one, so I should use it on this one anyway. Okay, that makes it, yeah A 32.

1:30:08 Ally: Nice.

1:30:08 Brennan: Okay, 32. And the other save as well?

1:30:09 Murph: And then the other save. Ooh, great. 26, 28.

1:30:16 Ally: Hell yeah.

1:30:22 Brennan: 90 points of force damage that you do not take half of, because... That you do not take half of.

1:30:34 Ally: Circle of Power, bro!

1:30:37 Brennan: It's actually about the fucking Circle of Power, and actually, all of you–

1:30:39 Emily: It's about the core!

1:30:41 Brennan: All of you are in the Circle of Power with me.

1:30:45 Ally: I pat your shoulders way too hard. I'm like,

1:30:48 Kristen: Yeah, Riz! Yeah, Riz!

1:30:50 Brennan: You hear a little voice in your ear going,

1:30:52 Cassandra: [tinny] This would be a great time to talk to them, that the power is actually coming from a god, if any of them wanted to come by your church. You know, it just feels like, I mean, I don't wanna be pushy but, you know.

1:31:03 Ally: I just make a mental note to have a really intense conversation with Cassandra when I get back.

1:31:09 Murph: Intense!

1:31:09 Brennan: Incredible. We are going to move. It is once again the lair action. We turn it over to the lair action for all of you.

1:31:16 Emily: Okay, okay.

1:31:17 Murph: I think I have to gun it, because of the engine.

1:31:19 Brennan: Yeah, you have to gun it.

1:31:19 Emily: Yeah, gun it. See if you can get us under there, 'cause... Oh, he's freaking not bloodied.

1:31:26 Brennan: I will say, if you have–

1:31:27 Murph: He's not bloodied, but we can hurt him.

1:31:28 Brennan: If you have any proficiency with tinkerers' tools or other stuff like that, if you do, you could try to mend the Hangvan, at least partially.

1:31:34 Murph: I have thieves' tools?

1:31:34 Brennan: Yeah, I would allow that.

1:31:37 Murph: Okay, rad. I have very high thieves' tools, plus 14.

1:31:41 Brennan: I'm gonna say you add your Intelligence modifier to this roll, and if you get 10 it's a d8, if you get 15 it's 2d8, if you get 20 it's 3d8, going up as high as you can roll.

1:31:50 Murph: So I'm just adding my Intelligence, I'm not doing my thieves' tools?

1:31:53 Brennan: No, do your thieves' tools for the roll, and then when you heal, you'll add your Int mod.

1:31:56 Murph: Got it, got it, got it. Okay, come on. Okay, 22.

1:32:02 Brennan: 22, go ahead and roll. That's going to be 3d8 plus your Int mod.

1:32:05 Murph: Cool.

1:32:05 Ally: Yes.

1:32:07 Murph: 17 total.

1:32:07 Brennan: Hell yes. Hangvan, back at 48. So you hear Zaphriel going,

1:32:12 Zaphriel: I don't know what you're doing down there, brother, but it feels good.

1:32:16 Siobhan: Ew!

1:32:16 Riz: All right.

1:32:18 Kristen: Okay.

1:32:19 Zaphriel : Fix me, brother. Fix me.

1:32:19 Fabian: All right, The Ball.

1:32:21 Ally: I don't know what you're doing down there, brother, but you're fixing me.

1:32:23 Murph: I put in Kristen's headphones and keep working.

1:32:25 Brennan: You feel Riz take your headphones out.

1:32:27 Kristen: Hey!

1:32:28 Brennan: Okay, that's one car action. Any other car actions up here?

1:32:33 Emily: I think we have a question, which is, are we now, I know that he's not bloodied, but are we within range to try to sigil?

1:32:41 Brennan: You're 35, so it's got to get down to five. It's got to be five feet away.

1:32:47 Emily: Okay, so never mind. Never mind, then.

1:32:49 Ally: We're gunning it right now, so.

1:32:50 Brennan: You're gunning it, yeah, it's true.

1:32:51 Zac: So I will use my action–

1:32:51 Brennan: Use your free action.

1:32:54 Zac: ...to pull the lasso.

1:32:57 Brennan: And it's still rolling with disadvantage. Wow, you dodge a nat 20. You've got to beat a 21.

1:33:04 Zac: And I can do this with advantage, right?

1:33:06 Brennan: Yes, it's Reckless.

1:33:10 Zac: I got a 21 plus 5, 26.

1:33:10 Emily: Yes!

1:33:13 Brennan: 26. It's is 30 feet away.

1:33:16 Ally: Yes!

1:33:18 Brennan: As you reel it in, Fabian, you're in. You guys are both passengering or windowing right now?

1:33:25 Lou: Yeah, I would say I'm window.

1:33:27 Ally: I'm window.

1:33:27 Brennan: Cool, cool, cool. Up on top, there's no, I don't think any Night Yorb effects are active right now. I would allow you to see if you could do anything about Balthazar.

1:33:37 Emily: Yeah, I'll do that.

1:33:37 Brennan: Yeah, go ahead and give me, you're just making a spell attack and trying to beat a DC 17.

1:33:44 Emily: 13 plus 9, 22!

1:33:47 Fig: Balthazar, you've got a litter of six month old parrots squawking for you! I'm not giving up!

1:33:54 Gorgug: You can't put that on us!

1:33:56 Brennan: You can't put that on us, Balthazar.

1:33:57 Kristen: What are we going to do with a litter of parrots?

1:33:58 Riz: We can't raise those parrots!

1:34:00 Gorgug: They'll outlive us, Balthazar!

1:34:02 Riz: They're going to outlive some of us.

1:34:03 Fig: They live 90 years!

1:34:04 Brennan: You reach out. You summon the sigil. You see that the Night Yorb goes [burps] and a splat of inky darkness hits the road. Balthazar's shadow, stretched out on the road with no Balthazar, makes an image like someone shrieking to the sky and sprints into the desert faster than light.

1:34:28 Ally: What?

1:34:28 Murph: He's running to his parrots!

1:34:30 Emily: Have we seen him do that before?

1:34:32 Zac: I pull out my compass. I think it's a beeline straight for the parrots.

1:34:36 Emily: He must be an Echo Knight fighter.

1:34:38 Brennan: Incredible. Okay, that is the turn from the Hangvan. Ecaf is going to give the Help action once again to Riz for your next turn. Sorry, you're back in there, right? Ecaf's going to give you the Help action.

1:34:50 Fabian: No, no, give it to The Ball.

1:34:52 Ecaf: Are you sure?

1:34:52 Fabian: Yes.

1:34:53 Ecaf: I can give it to anyone you want.

1:34:54 Riz: I think I kinda pop out a lot, so it's okay.

1:34:56 Fabian: Yeah, you've been doing a lot.

1:34:57 Riz: It's fine, you two do whatever you want.

1:34:59 Fabian: I'm generous like that.

1:35:00 Ecaf: Well then, let me be generous as well.

1:35:00 Brennan: And comes over.

1:35:04 Emily: Does it smell in the car at this point?

1:35:05 Brennan: Thunks into your head a little bit as a floating mirror.

1:35:07 Kristen: I'd do anything to get out of this car.

1:35:12 Brennan: And that is going to be Figueroth Faeth's turn.

1:35:14 Emily: Okay, we still wanna keep working, chipping away at this guy, so I'm gonna just try to Eldritch Blast him and then Healing Word my girl. That is a 22 to hit on the first one.

1:35:27 Brennan: Hell yeah.

1:35:29 Emily: And a nat one, but I'm gonna Luck check it.

1:35:33 Brennan: Hell yes.

1:35:33 Lou: Luck check it!

1:35:34 Emily: That is a two. Okay, so I only hit once.

1:35:40 Zac: What is that?

1:35:40 Emily: I think that's a six. Yeah, six, seven.

1:35:43 Ally: How convenient.

1:35:46 Emily: 16 damage, and then I'm gonna bonus action Healing Word Adaine. Adaine, you're back up.

1:35:51 Siobhan: Thank god!

1:35:54 Emily: With nine.

1:35:56 Brennan: Hell yeah.

1:35:56 Siobhan: I'll take it.

1:35:58 Brennan: Fig, at the end of your turn, I am going to need everybody here to roll a Wisdom saving throw.

1:36:07 Emily: What?

1:36:07 Siobhan: With Bless.

1:36:08 Ally: And advantage, right, because of the–

1:36:10 Lou: With advantage, yes.

1:36:10 Siobhan: Oh, with advantage? Because it's a spell? Geez Louise!

1:36:17 Emily: That is a dirty 20, 21!

1:36:21 Zac: Dirty 20.

1:36:21 Brennan: Dirty 20.

1:36:23 Siobhan: 12.

1:36:23 Lou: 16.

1:36:24 Ally: Nat 20.

1:36:25 Murph: 15.

1:36:26 Brennan: Love it, so anyone under a 17, which is Fabian–

1:36:30 Murph: Actually, I have a Bardic. I'm gonna use the Bardic. So I need to get a two or higher, please. Two.

1:36:35 Ally: Got that two!

1:36:38 Brennan: You got that two. What was that?

1:36:39 Murph: 17.

1:36:39 Brennan: 17. Riz, driving this thing. The Night Yorb surges forward. It is now only 30... It surges here.

1:36:46 Siobhan: Oh no.

1:36:49 Brennan: It surges forward, pulling the van behind it. The van's going to make a jump. I'm going to need a Dexterity save from you, which you will not roll with disadvantage because you made your Wisdom save, but go ahead and give me the Dexterity save.

1:37:02 Murph: Okay.

1:37:03 Brennan: The DC for this is 22.

1:37:05 Murph: Okay, okay.

1:37:07 Lou: You got it. You got it, baby.

1:37:08 Zac: We got it, we got this.

1:37:08 Lou: You've had it.

1:37:11 Zac: You've always had it.

1:37:11 Lou: You were born with it.

1:37:13 Murph: Okay, and then I can use Bless?

1:37:16 All: Yeah.

1:37:16 Murph: Right now I've got a 19. So a three or a four does it. [music fades]

1:37:23 Ally: Come on, come on!

1:37:23 Brennan: I'm sorry, Murph.

1:37:25 Murph: Okay.

1:37:25 Brennan: Here you go.

1:37:26 Murph: We're gonna use the little beans.

1:37:27 Ally: Yeah, we're gonna use the little beans!

1:37:29 Brennan: Three or four does it.

1:37:31 Emily: Murph's little beans, Murph's little beans, Murph's little beans! [tense music]

1:37:35 Murph: It's a two.

1:37:35 Emily: No!

1:37:37 Lou: It felt like a four for a hot second.

1:37:38 Ally: It really did. The beans were in the way.

1:37:41 Lou: Yes.

1:37:41 Murph: The beans!

1:37:41 Lou: The damn beans threw the weight off!

1:37:44 Ally: It is weighted. It's absolutely weighted.

1:37:49 Brennan: Here's what happens. Riz, you dodge the fear effect. So you don't roll with disadvantage, but you're still gassing it, you can't stop gassing it. The van takes this jump, and even though you have good control of it, it's just that you're so airborne for so long that a slight spiral is gonna have you land on your side. [tense music] You watch the Night Yorb whipping its tail around, and in the distance, you see a tall tower, and you hear chanting.

1:38:20 Yorbies: Night Yorb, Night Yorb!

1:38:20 All: No!

1:38:24 Brennan: As that begins to happen, you see that there is an arch in the distance, rock towers. This guy leaps up to kick this over. [Siobhan gasps] And as he does so, welcoming his own death, this begins to fall into your path as he looks to jump into the wheels of the van, going,

1:38:48 Yorbie: Night Yorb, I love you!

1:38:52 Brennan: The van takes off with the rock coming to crash it, twisting sideways, the Night Yorb pulling it ahead, Kristen, you save on the fear effect. Fabian, where do you go in your heart as dread takes over?

1:39:12 Lou: [smiling] If I'm immune to being frightened–

1:39:14 Brennan: [Brennan gasps] Then you are not frightened at all! Describe it, as your father's eyepatch–

1:39:19 Emily: That's cool, dude. That's cool.

1:39:21 Lou: I think there's just an aura that's like, when things get tough, it's not fear. It's fucking– we bite down now! I think there's just more– my whole body goes tense with a desire to act.

1:39:35 Brennan: Adaine, fear. How do you feel as the fear takes hold?

1:39:38 Siobhan: The panic attack rising in my chest. [music fades]

1:39:40 Brennan: Yes, you feel a panic attack rising in your chest. And I'm going to say that as the battle continues, that we will bring that mechanic back into play as the frightened condition overwhelms– [heartbeat pulsing]

1:39:53 Siobhan: I suddenly realize I'm riding on the top of a van.

1:39:55 Adaine: Oh fuck! Oh my god!

1:39:57 Brennan: Oh my god, what the fuck am I doing?

1:39:58 Adaine: What am I doing?

1:39:59 Brennan: Gorgug.

1:39:59 Zac: I beat it.

1:40:01 Brennan: You beat it. So you're just holding onto the solar lasso, but you can feel this plan about to end horribly. If the van lands on its side– the solar lasso is only as strong as the roof of the van. The Night Yorb, if the van's not keeping pace, will just rip the lasso off and fly off into the fucking sky. As you feel the van tilting, Fig?

1:40:23 Emily: I passed. [drumbeat and heartbeat]

1:40:25 Brennan: You feel something. You look, the Night Yorb twinkling. You've spent your whole summer chasing this. You know all of the things you've missed. Your whole summer vacation, all of your friends. Some of you had birthdays out on the road on this adventure, and yeah, there's lots of adventure, but all of you feel a tiredness in your bones knowing that the reward for saving the world yet again will be going back to school and having another year of working just this hard forever. Fig, all of this work is about to be lost. Deep within you, in your fiery heart, you feel something flickering. You've been holding onto a piece of magic for a long time, a flicker of... [mimics mystical susurration] ?: If you would take me, you know what you would save.

1:41:26 Brennan: And you smell something sour and curdled. [quiet rock music]

1:41:32 Fig: [softly] Okay.

1:41:33 Brennan: If you reach to this source of magic, I will allow a chance to right the Hangvan and dodge the falling rock.

1:41:46 Fig: I come from Hell. We make deals with devils. I'm already fucking exhausted. I need this to be over. I'm yours.

1:42:03 Brennan: Adaine and Gorgug, in all of the chaos, there is a flash of light, a kind of lemony yellow creamy light that flashes out over the Hangvan. The rock is stopped in time and blasted away and the Hangvan rights. It will land on its wheels, as all of you hear a sickening gurgle from Fig's stomach. And that's all for this episode–

1:42:30 Siobhan: What the fuck?

1:42:31 Brennan: ...of "Dimension 20: Fantasy High". Tune in next week as we see what deal with what devil Figueroth Faeth made, and we see if we can catch the Night Yorb! It's coming for us.

1:42:47 Murph: Oh no! [music fades] NEXT EPISODE - Episode 2: Summer Breakdown [Next Time On Dimension 20] [adventurous music]

1:42:54 Fabian: Ecaf, you stay here. I don't want you in danger. Beauty like yours needs to be protected.

1:43:02 Ecaf: Master, it's go time. Let's go.

1:43:03 Fabian: Is it... I shouldn't. I just thought maybe I'd steal... No.

1:43:10 Kristen: Oh god!

1:43:12 Fabian: No, it's not right.

1:43:12 Riz: Kristen, please. Please give me your EarPods. Please.

1:43:16 Ecaf: There will be plenty of time for that after we defeat the Night Yorb!

1:43:18 Fig: Gorgug, you good?

1:43:21 Gorgug: Yeah, yeah.

1:43:21 Fig: Okay. Gorgug, do you have your outfit picked out for the first day of school?

1:43:26 Gorgug: Please don't mention–

1:43:30 Duggan: I wouldn't pay you to lick the dust off my dick.

1:43:34 Fig: Duggan!

1:43:34 Riz: Duggan.

1:43:36 Duggan: [wails mournfully] Balthazar!

1:43:38 Murph: Hell yeah!

1:43:40 Yorbie: The Night Yorb, it was– [blade stabbing]

1:43:42 Fabian: You didn't have to do it! You could have had an ice cream! I want to go home!

1:43:49 Emily: Doesn't it feel like our dice are shitting on us?

1:43:52 Gorgug: Come here. Just look at me.

1:43:54 Brennan: Hit.

1:43:55 Gorgug: No, it's okay!

1:43:57 Brennan: Crit.

1:43:59 Gorgug: Don't look at me!

1:44:01 Fabian: Who do I look at?

1:44:02 Gorgug: Look somewhere else! I don't know!

1:44:06 Fabian: Save me!

1:44:06 Fig: Stay with me!

1:44:07 Brennan: You know, it's fun to yell at me because you can't yell at your own dice, and I get it, I do get it.

1:44:13 Brennan: There's a lot going on and, you know, you're under a lot of pressure. [grunting] You see a little ribbon of red, something sharp, move through her body. [gasping]

1:44:25 Kristen: What?

1:44:26 Siobhan: Can I roll a nat 20, and everything just goes away?

1:44:27 Ally: Start over.

1:44:30 Siobhan: Wake up from the terrible nightmare that Adaine was having.

1:44:32 Fig: Does no one respect the fact that it takes time to save the world?

1:44:36 Kristen: I don't trust you.

1:44:41 Brennan: Good looking out, Beardsley. You gotta stay awake here in the dome, motherfuckers! [Outro Theme] ♪ Taking over, teenage rebellion No more fantasizing about it Hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, let's go! ♪
