Broadway Brawl

0:00:00 Brennan: [singing] Deck the halls with boughs of holly!

0:00:02 All: Fa la la la la, la la la la.

0:00:04 Brennan: The clock gnomes of Grand Central Station appear to be in a little bit of an uproar.

0:00:08 Kingston: We gotta go back, Bilbry!

0:00:09 Bilbry: Behold, the train yards of the Clock Gnomes!

0:00:12 Misty: I'm having a great time.

0:00:13 Ricky: Someone took something?

0:00:15 Hib-Hob: The Big Book of Bits and Bobbins.

0:00:16 Kingston: What about the Time Stone?

0:00:18 Hib-Hob: How do you know about Time Stones?

0:00:19 Misty: Well, I'm a reasonable woman and I do love pieces, as you know.

0:00:23 Robert: Things are gonna get bad.

0:00:25 Brennan: It's the day of Misty's opening! Oh my God, the musical! Stephen Sondheim is here.

0:00:31 Sondheim: I'm very, very excited for what we're about to see.

0:00:32 Misty: Oh darling.

0:00:33 Brennan: Misty fuckin' kills it, the ritual's going off without a hitch. As you're about to go on,

0:00:37 Alissa: Everything's in place, I have the mirror in place as well.

0:00:39 Misty: No, no, no, what mirror?

0:00:40 Crew: Five, four, three, two.

0:00:42 Don Confetti: Holy shit. Holy shit, holy shit! The greatest disaster I can imagine!

0:00:47 Brennan: The mirror glows, the Lady Titania. And a host of Seelie warriors steps through the mirror, I'm gonna need all of you to roll initiative.

0:00:57 Misty: Talk about stage effects! [END RECAP] [dramatic music]

0:01:07 Brennan: Welcome, one and all, back to The Unsleeping City. My name is Brennan Mulligan, these are our intrepid heroes, say hi, intrepid heroes!

0:01:13 All: Hi, intrepid heroes!

0:01:16 Brennan: Last we left our heroes off, they were going to see a Broadway show, and celebrating Christmas, things were looking up! There have been some strange goings on with the Clock Gnomes of Grand Central Station, But, we find ourselves opening night of Midsummer Nights, it's the final closing finale number, with Misty Moore taking the stage as the Lady Titania, as the mirror glows, [hums] it vanishes. [magical explosion] In a crack of light, gone! We see Lady Titania and her she-warriors, these Seelie dance fighters take the stage, across from you, the box seats from the intrepid heroes. [Don Confetti accent] Don Confetti and his pixie mobsters, are all starting to take a show and show off a little bit of their wealth.

0:02:03 Don Confetti: [higher voice, Italian accent] Holy shit! It's the Lady Titania back again!

0:02:07 Brennan: Beyond them, in the box seat is Stephen Sondheim, watching the show happily, also in the very front row is Dupree St. Croix, the theater critic for the New York Times!

0:02:20 Misty: Ah, the Gray Lady.

0:02:21 Brennan: I'm going to explain a couple different things now, 'cause this fight is a little different than normal.

0:02:25 Siobhan: Oh no! I mean, oh good! [chuckles]

0:02:28 Brennan: Misty. [dramatic music]

0:02:29 Siobhan: Mm-hmm.

0:02:30 Brennan: You are in the middle of casting a ritual spell that is going to renew your body. You've done this probably about a half dozen times before, and it's what has enabled your immortality. If this ritual doesn't go off without a hitch, it's the end of your reincarnations.

0:02:40 Siobhan: Fuck. [Emily gasps]

0:02:50 Brennan: So you've, if the show is spoiled for any reason, if these people that you are harvesting glamor from do not enjoy this Broadway show, it means the end of your life.

0:03:07 Misty: The show must go on!

0:03:10 Brennan: You will be making death-saving throws, not randomly and by chance, but with your Performance checks, every round that you go.

0:03:20 Zac: Oh!

0:03:21 Siobhan: All right.

0:03:22 Ally: Oh my God!

0:03:23 Brennan: You are not incapacitated, you are not down, but the ritual needs three successes to work, and it needs three, and with three failures you die. There is--

0:03:36 Emily: Die or just, she just stays Misty Moore?

0:03:39 Brennan: Only one way to find out.

0:03:40 Emily: Ohh!

0:03:41 Lou: We don't know that?

0:03:43 Brennan: Misty hasn't told anybody. So… So, you guys do not know that that is the case. Normally for this ritual, the difficulty is very low for these performance checks. But the difficulty might be modified if, for example, you get stabbed a whole bunch of times. That might make your performance check a little bit more challenging.

0:04:06 Siobhan: Noted.

0:04:08 Brennan: So. What we are now going to do is we're also going to see who else showed up at premiere night. Misty has given some invitations out.

0:04:21 Ally: [laughs] Some.

0:04:22 Brennan: Some invitations out, a ton. But not everybody necessarily showed up. So we're going to do a Box of Doom roll for a little bitty luck check here. [dramatic music]

0:04:31 Brennan: We'll get the Box of Doom in, which I believe we have right here. The first thing we're going to roll for is, and I'm going to say that, because these are your close friends, they would definitely come. We're going to see if the members of the Gramercy Occult Society came to opening night, they're regular humans, they'll see a show. On an 11 or higher, Alejandro is in attendance. [Siobhan rolls a 4.] No, Alejandro is busy. Go ahead and pick again. On an 11 or higher, Esther managed to come by the show.

0:05:03 Siobhan: Come on. I can't see.

0:05:06 Brennan: That's a 19!

0:05:07 Siobhan: Yes, okay! Esther is there. [cheering]

0:05:08 Ally: Nice.

0:05:09 Emily: [poking Zac] Don’t get distracted.

0:05:09 Zac: I’ll try.

0:05:09 Brennan: Wonderful. And one last roll. 11 or higher, let’s see what happens. [Siobhan rolls a 16.] Hey, Wally's here!

0:05:17 Misty: Aww! [everyone except Murph cheers]

0:05:19 Murph: Yeah, oh no!

0:05:20 Brennan: Oh yes! Here you go.

0:05:21 Murph: Wally, oh God!

0:05:22 Siobhan: He's a good boy, Wally!

0:05:24 Murph: He's a good boy, I don't want him to get hurt!

0:05:26 Ally: Oh no! Wally goes down! Jesus.

0:05:31 Siobhan: Esther and Wally are just hanging out. The smartest and dumbest people that we know.

0:05:35 Brennan: I'm sorry, one more time. Do you remember that you did or did not give tickets to Em?

0:05:41 Emily: I don't remember.

0:05:42 Brennan: I don't think you did.

0:05:43 Ally: Feel like you did.

0:05:44 Emily: I definitely did Nod, it happened with Nod.

0:05:47 Siobhan: Yeah, Nod it happened with, I really think I did, but if you don't think that I did, then you are the DM, and I bow unto you, my liege lord.

0:05:57 Brennan: I tell you what. We'll roll one last one for Em.

0:06:00 Siobhan: Great.

0:06:01 Brennan: Let's see if Em is in attendance.

0:06:05 Emily: Let's see if a fountain came to see your show.

0:06:07 Siobhan: A 17?

0:06:08 Brennan: 17, Em is in attendance.

0:06:09 Ally: Hey! [cheers]

0:06:12 Brennan: It's a big show, people would come out and see a good show, right?

0:06:15 Siobhan: Yeah. Look guys, sometimes you film things a long time in advance.

0:06:19 Ally: You gave some to the—

0:06:20 Siobhan: And you don't write them down and you forget about it.

0:06:21 Brennan: Could you guys in the box seat behind you please put Wally, Esther, and Em?

0:06:27 Lou: What a motley crew.

0:06:30 Ally: Em!

0:06:31 Zac: Do we know anything about...

0:06:31 Lou: Esther is cool as shit.

0:06:34 Brennan: Esther is—

0:06:34 Emily: Oh my God, Esther fuckin' rules.

0:06:36 Lou: Wally's grounded as hell.

0:06:39 Ally: Yeah, totally!

0:06:40 Siobhan: I love his vest!

0:06:42 Ally: I think I'm into Em.

0:06:45 Brennan: Incredible.

0:06:46 Ally: What's your deal?

0:06:47 Brennan: Yeah, you see, as Titania appears, the band is kicking out, [lively music]

0:06:51 Band: [sings] ba da daa, baa, hey!

0:06:55 Brennan: Wally goes,

0:06:56 Wally: Well, it's the magic of Broadway, it really brings you all together.

0:06:59 Brennan: Esther immediately knows something bad is going on, and you can see that, actually move Esther up into the box with you guys. That's probably where she is.

0:07:09 Lou: Right next to Ricky, now.

0:07:10 Brennan: Right next to Ricky. And then that's going, and then Em, who is sort of perched on the edge of the thing as a stone gargoyle goes,

0:07:20 Em: [heavy NY accent] Oh no, this is so bad.

0:07:23 Brennan: That is going to be the beginning of combat. Kingston, you are first to act.

0:07:27 Lou: Okay. So I have no idea that this is a ritual.

0:07:32 Brennan: I don't believe that Misty has told anybody.

0:07:35 Lou: What would you—

0:07:37 Siobhan: A lady needs her secrets.

0:07:38 Lou: What's the threat level assessment, I mean--

0:07:42 Brennan: I'll allow you to make an insight check on your old friend Misty Moore.

0:07:46 Lou: Great. 10, Insight?

0:07:51 Brennan: Yes, Insight.

0:07:52 Lou: Insight. Yeah, 21.

0:07:54 Brennan: Do you roll advantage with Insight or no?

0:07:55 Lou: No only Deception, Intimidation, and Persuasion.

0:08:00 Zac: Only those.

0:08:01 Brennan: So you got an 18?

0:08:02 Lou: A 21.

0:08:03 Brennan: Oh, a 21. [suspenseful music]

0:08:04 Brennan: I'm going to say that you get Misty's eye contact for a second as Titania shows up. She looks very afraid, you know that Misty's fear is not related simply to the fact that Titania is here. There is also something going on, and you probably get a sense that Misty is already casting some kind of spell, but you don't know what it's for. [Lou laughs incredulously]

0:08:39 Lou: Oh man! Okay.

0:08:46 Ricky: This play's awesome.

0:08:49 Lou: I...

0:08:53 Pete: Was that magic or special effects?

0:08:58 Brennan: You see that the crowd as Titania appears all goes,

0:09:01 Audience: [excited, then confused] Whoa, oh, oh!

0:09:03 Brennan: Mostly reacting to the fact that there's two Titanias on stage.

0:09:06 Lou: Mm-hmm. Got it. Mm. Can I see a fire alarm?

0:09:15 Brennan: Make an Investigation check.

0:09:19 Lou: 9 plus… What's that, a 16.

0:09:25 Brennan: You do not see a fire alarm here in the box with you.

0:09:27 Lou: Okay.

0:09:28 Pete: Are you okay, man?

0:09:29 Murph: Would the Umbral Arcana protect, if we use a fire spell, is that going to—

0:09:35 Brennan: With that 20 Insight, actually, Kug, give me an insight check as well.

0:09:41 Murph: Fuckin' of course.

0:09:42 Ally: I'll do an Insight.

0:09:44 Murph: 8.

0:09:46 Brennan: You get to give me Arcana if you want to as well.

0:09:51 Ally: 20.

0:09:52 Brennan: 20 arcana?

0:09:52 Ally: Not nat.

0:09:53 Brennan: Not nat? Pete, this place is all your shit. This is all dream magic, it's the fuckin' theater, this place is, this play is A Midsummer Night's Dream. The Umbral Arcana is backing away from the stage out of respect for the place created by the actors here. So any magic that happened here would probably get the benefit of being behind a curtain of Umbral Arcana. So shit that happened on stage, if you put some zazz on it, could be perceived as performance by the audience.

0:10:28 Ally: Okay, yeah. So we all get that.

0:10:31 Emily: Yeah.

0:10:32 Brennan: 'Cause you have telepathy, right?

0:10:33 Emily: Yeah, pass that along.

0:10:34 Brennan: Oh yeah.

0:10:35 Ally: Yeah, I have Mind Link. So I'm like,

0:10:35 Pete: This isn't good, I don't think, guys.

0:10:39 Ally: It's any willing creature, we can, oh, I can Mind Link with you! I mind link with you and say,

0:10:42 Pete: What? Are you okay, what the fuck is going on?

0:10:47 Misty: No, this is real bad! [sings] Da daa, da daa!

0:10:50 Pete: Tell me and I'll tell the group, what the fuck do we do?

0:10:52 Misty: Let's kill Titania! [sings] Da da daa!

0:10:55 Brennan: Great! Okay, so you guys have talked enough, I'm going to need that action.

0:10:59 Lou: Okay, I need, I am, I'mma be like,

0:10:59 Kingston: All right. Things may be going down, the people need to get out of here.

0:11:04 Lou: I'm gonna Bless you, one, two, and three, and then I'm going to scramble down on to the, I'd like to scramble down actually on to the, I can't go around here, correct?

0:11:18 Zac: Would you want to, nevermind.

0:11:21 Brennan: You could go through the door, or you could just try to jump on to the stage with an Athletics check.

0:11:25 Lou: I mean, I'm a 55 year old man, I'd like to figure out, I'm not the hero I once was, I'd like to go the normal way down.

0:11:33 Brennan: Okay. You can take the stairs out, the back of your box seat. And make it down to the front row in front of the stage.

0:11:42 Lou: Great, so Blessings on the three of them, and I'll make my way down to the stage.

0:11:47 Ally: What's a Bless for you now?

0:11:49 Lou: It's, I think it's still--

0:11:50 Ally: Still d4?

0:11:51 Brennan: D4, but you can burn a higher slot to give it to more people. But you might not need to, 'cause you're all fuckin' spellcasters and don't need that.

0:11:55 Lou: Right now it's just the three of them.

0:11:56 Brennan: Cool. Great. That's a Bless from Kingston. That is now going to be--

0:12:03 Lou: Did you say I could move down here?

0:12:04 Brennan: Yeah, actually, move all the way, so yeah. You're right under there, at the front of the stage, yeah. That's going to be Kugrash.

0:12:11 Murph: Kay, I guess if this is all magic stuff. All right, I'm gonna cast Wall of Fire. [flame whooshing]

0:12:21 Kugrash: Hope you can make this work, Misty! There's going to be some fireworks!

0:12:25 Murph: And I--

0:12:26 Ally: I Mind Link and tell Misty that.

0:12:26 Misty: [dancing] I love a finale!

0:12:27 Ally: Everything we do, I'll let her know.

0:12:29 Murph: So this is one of my fourth level spells. I can make a… I can make two different kind of walls, but the one I want to do is a ringed wall up to 20 feet in diameter and 20 feet high, I want to do it around her little crew here.

0:12:43 Brennan: My good man. Please be my guest. Brennan hands Murph the flame minis to place.

0:12:48 Emily: Oh, I love those flames.

0:12:50 Murph: Oh boy. So ten feet, so I just want to put it right on top of them.

0:12:54 Brennan: Okay, and you want it facing inward?

0:12:57 Murph: I want it facing inward so it burns them. I imagine they're going to move, so this is just kind of a one time attack for me. So you want me to just put it up in here?

0:13:04 Brennan: Yeah, go ahead and, 'cause it's your concentration, so it is—

0:13:07 Murph: It's my concentration, so—

0:13:08 Brennan: What's the range on that, by the way?

0:13:10 Murph: It is 20 feet diameter, and--

0:13:12 Brennan: But the range for casting, how far away can you—

0:13:13 Ally: 120.

0:13:14 Murph: 120.

0:13:14 Brennan: Okay cool, so you definitely can hit them there. [roaring flames]

0:13:17 Murph: [about the minis, which are transparent and red] I love these little gushers.

0:13:19 Ally: [laughs] Yeah!

0:13:20 Emily: The dried apricots?

0:13:21 Siobhan: Are they squishy?

0:13:21 Murph: They're little dried apricots. All right.

0:13:24 Siobhan: They kind of look like they're going to be squishy, but they're not.

0:13:26 Murph: Okay, all right, I think that's all I need.

0:13:27 Emily: That's just good art, baby.

0:13:28 Lou: That’s just good art.

0:13:29 Murph: Yeah, so they take, when it appears, they make a dexterity saving throw, and 5d8 fire damage, or half as much on a successful save.

0:13:37 Ally: Great.

0:13:37 Brennan: Go ahead and roll your damage, and I'll let you know how much they all take.

0:13:40 Murph: Can I get some d8s?

0:13:41 Ally: Here's two d8s.

0:13:42 Murph: Thank you. Just one more's good, I can just do two things. Ooh, oh my God! This is insane!

0:13:46 Ally: Yeah.

0:13:49 Murph: 16, 28, off the bat with four, hang on. 28. 36, right? 36. And then 40.

0:14:05 Brennan: [disbelieving] You do 40 fire damage? Murph laughs satisfiedly and Ally nods.

0:14:09 Brennan: Jesus Christ!

0:14:10 Zac: To everyone or just...

0:14:11 Ally: To any of them that don't pass--

0:14:12 Murph: That are in there, that don't pass, they're taking 20—

0:14:14 Ally: And if they pass it's 20.

0:14:15 Murph: 20 to people who don't get it.

0:14:17 Brennan: Hold on.

0:14:18 Siobhan: And that's the end of the fight, and we'll go home.

0:14:21 Emily: Wow! I think we could roleplay the rest of this episode, yeah.

0:14:25 Brennan: So 20 to those who pass.

0:14:26 Emily: [crosstalk] Could just roleplay the show going well.

0:14:27 Lou: 40 to the—

0:14:28 Siobhan: [crosstalk] Bring out a piano and improvise the musical.

0:14:28 Murph: 40 to the ones who fail. My first four I rolled two 6s and two 8s, which was pretty incredible.

0:14:34 Brennan: Holy shit. [laughs under his breath] I need to see how close you are to… Oh, you motherfucker. You are not within Counterspell range.

0:14:45 All: Ohhh!

0:14:56 Brennan: That's fucking wild. Yeah, you see, whoom! [whooshing] This fire goes up, yeah. The spell effect happening on stage, the whole audience just goes,

0:15:07 Audience: Wow! [riotous cheering and applause]

0:15:12 Brennan: As these elves shriek, aah! You do not hear a shriek from the Lady Titania, however.

0:15:17 Murph: Oy.

0:15:19 Brennan: [sings] Bum, bum bum.

0:15:20 Murph: Awesome, and I'll use my bonus action to do the juicy cockroach.

0:15:26 Ally: Nice.

0:15:27 Murph: To give everybody temp HP.

0:15:28 Ally: Which is how much?

0:15:29 Murph: Does, it's 30 feet, can I get Misty and--

0:15:35 Brennan: Put it where you think you could get everybody. If you put it in the crowd, it might rupture the spell a little bit.

0:15:41 Murph: Okay.

0:15:44 Brennan: So you might have to put it on stage, things on stage get less--

0:15:47 Murph: Got it, okay. Then I'll do, [places it down] bink.

0:15:49 Brennan: Give me a Performance check for the cockroach.

0:15:51 Murph: Oh my God.

0:15:52 Brennan: It's gonna use your Performance.

0:15:55 Murph: Insanely bad.

0:15:57 Siobhan: Don't you have, I'm not gonna say.

0:16:00 Murph: [laughs] A minus 2. 1! 3 minus 2.

0:16:06 Brennan: A 3 minus 2, so it's not a nat 1. So you see that, this giant cockroach appears, and the whole audience goes, ugh! And you see that Dupree St. Croix goes,

0:16:13 Dupree St. Croix: [shaking his head] Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.

0:16:16 Brennan: But the cockroach looks out and goes,

0:16:18 Cockroach: [gravelly singing] Hey, fa sha dow! Hey, daa, I think about this! And all it's been there!

0:16:25 Brennan: Just really trying its best, incredible, so those people get temp HP that need that.

0:16:33 Emily: How much?

0:16:33 Ally: How much is it?

0:16:35 Murph: It is, oh, what did I see, write out? Juicy cockroach, 5 plus druid level, so 14.

0:16:40 Emily: Whoa!

0:16:43 Siobhan: Wow, I have 80 hp, that’s crazy.

0:16:48 Brennan: You see Titania vanishes from here, appears directly upstage of Misty.

0:16:58 Siobhan: You're upstaging me, bitch?

0:17:01 Brennan: You see that she, boom, appears there, takes no more damage from Wall of Fire. Looks over at the pixies over there, and she says,

0:17:17 Titania: [clear, cold voice] Don Confetti, I call your service once more. [explosion]

0:17:20 Brennan: Boom! He and all his pixies get loopy little eyes.

0:17:24 Don Confetti: [gravelly voice] Oh, ah! You got us!

0:17:26 Siobhan: I cast Counterspell.

0:17:30 Brennan: [laughs] Hell yeah! Go ahead and make the roll, she's casting a powerful spell.

0:17:34 Siobhan: Okay.

0:17:37 Ally: You got this. [clapping]

0:17:41 Murph: Come on.

0:17:44 Siobhan: That is a nat 1.

0:17:44 Murph: Oh fuck! [magical explosion]

0:17:48 Brennan: The spell still goes off, and has a bonus action, she's going to make an attack on Misty.

0:17:53 Siobhan: Goddamn!

0:17:57 Murph: Shit! [suspenseful music]

0:18:00 Brennan: That's gonna hit.

0:18:01 Siobhan: [whispered] Fuck.

0:18:03 Brennan: One moment. Brennan shakes out what sounds like an entire bag of dice. Murph gasps. Zac laughs nervously, and Emily shoots Brennan a suspicious expression.

0:18:05 Siobhan: Oh my God!

0:18:08 Emily: That's because you're looking for d4s, right? You just poured all those out to look for a d4? [laughs]

0:18:11 Siobhan: Yeah, just one d4.

0:18:12 Murph: He needs three whole d4s.

0:18:13 Zac: He needs one specific d4.

0:18:14 Lou: Brennan is very particular about this dice. And the dice he rolls.

0:18:18 Murph: Yeah, he likes, he did d4. There's actually a d2 in there.

0:18:22 Zac: Coin.

0:18:23 Brennan: She flicks a mote of light at you and says,

0:18:26 Titania: Pretender! [singing] She must pay!

0:18:31 Brennan: Whoom! And since she doesn't know she's in a play, but she does just sing most of her magic, which is helpful. You take 30 points of radiant damage.

0:18:35 Ally: Fuck.

0:18:37 Emily: Ay ay ay.

0:18:40 Siobhan: Thank goodness for that juicy cockroach.

0:18:42 Murph: So juicy. Not a great performer, but you know, juicy.

0:18:46 Brennan: That's Titania, Pete, it's going to be you.

0:18:49 Ally: All right. [sighs] I cast, I'm going to cast Erupting Earth as a fourth level spell in the, it's the exact same diameter, it's the exact same everything, so at these remaining dancers. [rumbling]

0:19:06 Brennan: Oh shit, okay cool.

0:19:07 Ally: It is another Dex saving throw. And I get to roll 4d12, and if they don't pass, they get half that damage.

0:19:18 Murph: Or if they pass—

0:19:19 Ally: Oh yeah, yeah. If they pass. Does someone else have a d12? Or—

0:19:22 Emily: I gots d12.

0:19:24 Brennan: Cool, and it's a 20 foot cube.

0:19:27 Ally: It's a 20 foot cube, yeah.

0:19:28 Brennan: Cool, so it's four, it's four spaces by four spaces, so yeah, that definitely hits them all.

0:19:32 Ally: Mkay.

0:19:33 Brennan: Rad.

0:19:34 Emily: Do they take extra damage, 'cause it's like the earth is erupting but it is also on fire?

0:19:36 Ally: [crosstalk] Yeah!

0:19:37 Murph: [seeing Ally’s roll] Wow!

0:19:38 Ally: 37.

0:19:39 Brennan: ...37 bludgeoning damage?

0:19:42 Ally: And—

0:19:43 Siobhan: Jeez Louise.

0:19:45 Ally: That's now difficult terrain that takes a minute to clear.

0:19:49 Brennan: Rad. So that's gonna be—

0:19:51 Murph: So  they move half.

0:19:52 Ally: Yeah, so they move half speed.

0:19:54 Brennan: Okay. So they take 37 bludgeoning damage. Wild. These poor Seelie get real fucked up. [quietly] Jesus Christ.

0:20:05 Ally: And I'm going to… I'm going to run on stage.

0:20:13 Brennan: Dope. Give me an Athletics check to jump down there.

0:20:16 Ally: Sure.

0:20:17 Brennan: I'm also going to need a Wild Magic roll from you.

0:20:19 Ally: Athletics… I think that's 15?

0:20:24 Brennan: 15, you make it, yeah. So—

0:20:25 Ally: Cool.

0:20:26 Brennan: It's cost an extra five feet of movement, but yes.

0:20:28 Ally: Okay, I just want to be next to the cockroach. [laughs]

0:20:32 Lou: [sings] Just to be close.

0:20:34 Ally: And Wild Magic, 11.

0:20:38 Brennan: Cool.

0:20:39 Lou: Phew!

0:20:41 Brennan: Wonderful. So that spell that just got created, [imitates explosion] you guys see that Pete blasted [explosion] and that weird psychic, all the floorboards just rupture, and float, spinning around telekinetically, just clobbering the shit out of these Seelie elves.

0:20:55 Emily: I mean, so far this is a fuckin' great show.

0:20:57 Ally: Yeah, yeah.

0:20:58 Brennan: You see them go,

0:20:58 Audience: [high-pitched] Wow!

0:21:00 Brennan: You see, yeah, that Dupree goes,

0:21:01 Dupree St. Croix: [posh, judgmental] The special effects budget has not been spared,

0:21:05 Brennan: In his little notebook, as he takes—

0:21:07 Dupree St. Croix: But that cockroach, send this person back to off-off-off-Broadway.

0:21:14 Brennan: Incredible.

0:21:14 Murph: Keep your head up, cockroach!

0:21:16 Brennan: Pete jumps back to, so Pete jumps down, [laughs] great. You see that Don Confetti turns his pixies around him, sees the two to his right and says,

0:21:30 Don Confetti: [shouting] get Sondheim!

0:21:31 Brennan: And then turns— [dramatic, tense music]

0:21:32 Emily: What!

0:21:33 Brennan: The other two each take off.

0:21:36 Ally: What?

0:21:39 Siobhan: How dare they.

0:21:41 Brennan: Hold on a second.

0:21:42 Lou: Hmm, people be flying.

0:21:47 Brennan: This guy's up here. Bada-bum. I get this dude over here. [Murph laughs]

0:22:00 Zac: What the fuck is happening?

0:22:01 Murph: If Stephen Sondheim is killed, then your play won't get a good review.

0:22:04 Siobhan: Oh no!

0:22:05 Murph: It just might be dramatic.

0:22:07 Brennan: Cool, hold on a second. [rolls something] Okay. I, so what you guys now see, is—

0:22:16 Zac: Stephen Sondheim is—

0:22:18 Brennan: Now could you guys hand me Stephen Sondheim and the other two little pixies that are not Don Confetti?

0:22:25 Zac: Stephen Sondheim is for sure magical.

0:22:28 Siobhan: Oh yeah.

0:22:29 Ally: Yeah.

0:22:30 Siobhan: Yeah, there's no way that he's a regular human being.

0:22:32 Murph: Well, you know, creativity is magic, so.

0:22:35 Ally: Wow! The new you!

0:22:37 Siobhan: Oh yah, all artists are in some way.

0:22:37 Ally: What’s your sign?

0:22:38 Brennan: So you guys see two of the pixies rush over, you see that, yeah, Don Confetti says,

0:22:42 Don Confetti: Get Sondheim!

0:22:43 Brennan: And the two pixies fly over, [wings] They grab, you see Stephen Sondheim says,

0:22:47 Sondheim: Now I don't know what's happening, but this is not the kind of theater I'm, whoa!

0:22:50 Brennan: And then is lifted up out of his seat. They fly him under the arch back over here. These two fly out in other directions, and open fire on Misty.

0:23:05 Siobhan: Shit.

0:23:07 Lou: This is a wild show.

0:23:07 Zac: With a gun?

0:23:09 Ally: Have you got shields or anything, or...

0:23:11 Siobhan: No, all I've got is charisma magic.

0:23:15 Lou: You got Shield?

0:23:16 Murph: We've got to intercept, we need Ricky in there.

0:23:20 Brennan: I'm going to need a Constitution saving throw from Misty. [multiple sighs]

0:23:23 Siobhan: Goddamn it. 17?

0:23:29 Brennan: That passes.

0:23:29 Ally: Nice.

0:23:30 Brennan: You feel the bullets, pew pew, have little, pew! Like, pixie dust and poison in it. You do not succumb to the poison, but you do take another 7 points of damage.

0:23:40 Siobhan: Okay.

0:23:42 Ally: Tiny little bullets.

0:23:43 Siobhan: So cute!

0:23:45 Brennan: Misty, it is your turn—

0:23:47 Siobhan: Okay, I have a question about these performance rolls.

0:23:51 Brennan: Yes.

0:23:52 Siobhan: So I have advantage on performance. If I cast a spell that gives me advantage on performance, do I get to roll an extra die?

0:23:58 Brennan: Unfortunately no.

0:24:00 Siobhan: I'm done at that, I'm done at that point.

0:24:02 Brennan: A thing that gives you advantage simply gives you advantage. And right now, the damage is not giving you disadvantage, it's just increasing the difficulty of the roll.

0:24:12 Siobhan: Okay.

0:24:14 Brennan: Cool. In the last round, you took 37 points of damage.

0:24:18 Siobhan: I did indeed.

0:24:20 Brennan: Which is, normally the DC for doing this ritual is only the DC 10. It is increased by half the damage you took in the previous round, which is going to be 18. So you need to beat a 28 on a performance check.

0:24:35 Ally: What is your, what do you have to performance?

0:24:36 Siobhan: I have 11 Performance.

0:24:38 Lou: So you gotta get 17?

0:24:40 Siobhan: So I gotta get a 17.

0:24:41 Ally: But you have advantage.

0:24:42 Emily: But you have two—

0:24:43 Siobhan: But I have advantage, but even—

0:24:44 Ally: But still...

0:24:45 Lou: It's four.

0:24:46 Murph: You'll get it, you'll get it.

0:24:47 Emily: My god.

0:24:48 Ally: You’ll get it, you’ll get it.

0:24:49 Siobhan: It is really rough.

0:24:49 Lou: You’ll get it.

0:24:49 Murph: First one, you'll get it.

0:24:50 Emily: This is a good one, I feel good about this.

0:24:52 Murph: First one, you got it.

0:24:53 Brennan: Bring out the Box of Doom for this Performance check.

0:24:54 Ally: If she had Bless or had Bardic Inspiration, would that add to this?

0:24:56 Brennan: Bless and Bardic Inspiration and—

0:24:58 Ally: We'll remember to do that.

0:24:59 Siobhan: Can I give myself Bardic Inspiration?

0:25:00 Brennan: You cannot give yourself Bardic Inspiration, but Tides of Chaos, Bend Luck, all that stuff works—

0:25:02 Ally: You got it.

0:25:04 Brennan: On Misty.

0:25:06 Murph: Cool.

0:25:06 Siobhan: Okay.

0:25:07 Ally: Oh, Tides of Chaos can be for anyone?

0:25:08 Brennan: Oh maybe it can't, sorry.

0:25:10 Ally: I'll check.

0:25:11 Brennan: You double check that, yeah. Here's advantage, you need a 17 or higher for a success.

0:25:16 Siobhan: Come on, a little Christmas miracle. I did not get--

0:25:20 Ally: Whoa, what did you get?

0:25:21 Siobhan: I got a two and four, don't waste your luck.

0:25:24 Ally: Fuck!

0:25:24 Brennan: So, you are lit the fuck up this round. Just, boom! [magical impact] And you begin to sing through. Gah! But you hit, you miss your note as you are ruptured by Titania's attack of light. That is one failure.

0:25:45 Murph: Do we know how bad, what is going on exactly?

0:25:47 Brennan: Misty, now it's your turn, so you can communicate anything you want to Pete.

0:25:50 Misty: Pete, if I die, really bad things are gonna happen, I probably—

0:25:55 Pete: Tell me everything you can.

0:25:56 Misty: You know how you've been keeping some secrets, we'll talk afterwards, maybe I've been keeping some as well. Anyway, if I could not die, that would be great.

0:26:03 Pete: Bullet points, are the fairies with us, who are we taking out, what—

0:26:06 Misty: The fairies are under some kind of hypnotic spell, I mean, the pixies are under some kind of hypnotic spell, the fairies are definitely against us. If we could kill Titania, that would be great. Please don't let me die.

0:26:18 Kingston: Pete, we have to get these people out of here. Misty needs to make some kind of announcement. The show needs to end now.

0:26:23 Pete: Misty, you need to make an announcement and end the show right now.

0:26:25 Misty: Absolutely not, the show must go on!

0:26:28 Pete: Don't be stupid!

0:26:29 Misty: The show must, do you hear me?

0:26:31 Pete: Kingston is going to hit the fire alarm, and we're going to try to get everyone out, will that work?

0:26:35 Misty: Pete, you need to listen to me. Magic user to magic user.

0:26:38 Pete: Okay.

0:26:39 Misty: The show must! Go! On!

0:26:41 Ally: I link to Kingston, say,

0:26:41 Pete: Do not let anybody leave, this has to look like a really good show.

0:26:45 Kingston: If anybody gets hurt, if Sondheim gets hurt, we are out of here instantly.

0:26:49 Pete: I know how big of a Sondheim fan you are, okay, I'm not gonna let him get hurt.

0:26:52 Kingston: I'm a huge Sondheim, Into the Woods is one of the greatest shows that I have ever seen.

0:26:56 Brennan: Misty, you now have your turn. So your performances can happen while you're casting spells and doing stuff.

0:27:01 Siobhan: Great, so what I would like to do, this is over than a 30-foot cube, right? All of these people?

0:27:07 Brennan: These, Sondheim is out of the 30-foot cube, so--

0:27:10 Siobhan: So these two aren't? Are you sure?

0:27:11 Brennan: So you can go here, so this is 30 feet from the end of this, so those pixies are there. But the Seelie, no so, you can't get the Seelie and Sondheim and his pixies.

0:27:20 Siobhan: And the guys that have Sondheim as well.

0:27:21 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

0:27:22 Siobhan: Okay. Are the Seelie trapped by this fire? Or are they, can they move out of the fire?

0:27:29 Murph: They can move out of it.

0:27:30 Siobhan: They can move out of it?

0:27:31 Zac: But they're also, movement is half, right?

0:27:33 Siobhan: But then movement is halved?

0:27:34 Ally: Their movement is halved by me, yeah.

0:27:36 Siobhan: Okay. Well, I'm still going to do it, so I'm going to cast Hypnotic Pattern.

0:27:43 Ally: Great.

0:27:44 Brennan: Okay.

0:27:45 Siobhan: Is there a way of casting it at a higher level, where I get more stuff, it doesn't say on this card.

0:27:52 Brennan: I don't believe so.

0:27:53 Siobhan: Okay. [shining energy sounds] So anyway, I create a 30-foot cube within range, the pattern appears, each creature who is in the area sees the pattern, must make a wisdom-saving throw, on a failed save, the creature becomes charmed for the duration. While charmed by the spell, the creature is incapacitated and has a speed of zero.

0:28:11 Brennan: Okay.

0:28:13 Siobhan: And my spell save DC is 16.

0:28:16 Brennan: Gotcha. So you're hitting those four Seelie and the one pixie above them, right?

0:28:21 Siobhan: Yes.

0:28:24 Brennan: Okay. [suspenseful music]

0:28:29 Brennan: And your, the DC again is, what, 6? Or 16.

0:28:33 Siobhan: 16.

0:28:34 Brennan: 16.

0:28:34 Siobhan: [play-offended] 6.

0:28:35 Brennan: Sorry.  2. 3. You pull, I'm afraid, only the pixie away from Titania.

0:28:55 Siobhan: Dang.

0:28:59 Brennan: So he's incapacitated, correct?

0:29:00 Siobhan: Yeah. He, yeah, he just can't move or do anything.

0:29:04 Brennan: Gotcha. And did he make, he makes the save every round, or no?

0:29:09 Siobhan: The spell ends for the affected creature if he takes any damage or if someone else uses an action to shake the creature out of the stupor, so it doesn't say—

0:29:16 Brennan: So he's just hovering, so as he's like,

0:29:18 Pixie: [high-pitched] Wow, I can't believe I get to see a real Misty Moore show, look at her go, I hate to have to kill her.

0:29:26 Brennan: And any bonus action? Or movement?

0:29:31 Siobhan: Yeah. I would like to… Very jazzily move upstage a little bit.

0:29:42 Brennan: Sure. And were you within five feet of Titania?

0:29:45 Siobhan: Was I? No, I don't think so.

0:29:47 Brennan: Do you guys remember, oh no, she was a little bit away from you, right?

0:29:49 Siobhan: I was here. So I'm ten feet away.

0:29:51 Brennan: Gotcha, cool cool cool, yep.

0:29:53 Siobhan: And then I would like to look up at my good pal, you've not gone yet, right?

0:30:05 Emily: Yeah, I haven't gone yet.

0:30:06 Siobhan: Sofia.

0:30:07 Emily: Okay.

0:30:08 Siobhan: And I'm not going to say anything to you, but in that moment, you know that I'm singing right at you, and this song is for you.

0:30:12 Sofia: Oh my God, Misty Moore. Oh my God! It's like I've been friends with her for so long, but it still feels so cool!

0:30:19 Siobhan: And I give you Bardic Inspiration.

0:30:22 Brennan: Incredible. Lovely. That's going to be these Seelie.

0:30:26 Emily: Oh yeah, they haven't even gone.

0:30:28 Brennan: They haven't even gone. Ah-buh-buh-bah. So they've got to roll or die here.

0:30:35 Ally: Mm-hmm!

0:30:37 Brennan: Let's go ahead and roll for them, DC on this is 16 as well, right? Yes. One, two… Three.  Go ahead and roll damage for your Wall of Fire.

0:30:52 Murph: Sweet. 14, 18...

0:30:56 Lou: Jesus.

0:30:58 Ally: Fuck yeah!

0:30:58 Brennan: Are you rolling 8d8 right now?

0:30:59 Siobhan: Yeah.

0:31:01 Murph: Oh sorry, 5d8.

0:31:03 Brennan: Did you, you didn't roll 8d8 the first time, did you?

0:31:04 Murph: I think I did. Fuck.

0:31:07 Brennan: That's okay, no worries.

0:31:08 Murph: Okay, so I fucked up.

0:31:09 Siobhan: If it was 5d8 the first time, it would have still, the first four he rolled were still two—

0:31:14 Ally: The highest ones.

0:31:15 Siobhan: Two eights and two sixes. And the other four were very--

0:31:18 Murph: I think you could subtract seven from what I did the first time.

0:31:20 Brennan: Gotcha, cool cool.

0:31:21 Murph: My first four were amazing rolls and my second half were middling. So this time is 8, 11, 13. [dramatic music]

0:31:31 Brennan: 13, okay.

0:31:33 Murph: Oh wait no, that was four, I'm an idiot. 14.

0:31:38 Brennan: 14 damage. Rad. So that's going to be...

0:31:43 Murph: So I probably did around 30 the first time, then.

0:31:46 Brennan: Cool. Gotcha. All of them leap through, see this one, and yeah, they definitely have the speed. And make it over to Misty.

0:31:59 Siobhan: Fuck!

0:32:00 Murph: Shit!

0:32:01 Sofia: I'm coming for you, girl.

0:32:02 Siobhan: Thanks, man.

0:32:03 Murph: We gotta get people in there.

0:32:05 Brennan: Two. Three. And then… Let's take the fire with me. Four. Hold on one second, let me just make sure that I've got that all right. Hold on.

0:32:27 Lou: And it's difficult terrain?

0:32:29 Brennan: [realizing] Oh!

0:32:30 Siobhan: You said it's difficult terrain.

0:32:30 Ally: Halved.

0:32:31 Murph: Yes!

0:32:32 Brennan: They don't make it to you!

0:32:33 Murph: Nice! [cheers]

0:32:34 Brennan: They do not, hold on, let me just double check. 'Cause that, if one of them's right there, that's, even the one that's closest is 30 to make it to Misty. No!

0:32:42 Siobhan: Thank fucking God.

0:32:43 Ally: [punching the air] Yeah!

0:32:44 Brennan: Holy shit, you see that you can see them leap through the flame to get the fuck out of there, and Pete, you like, whoom! [magical whoosh] Whip the stuff around. The floorboards and theater ropes and bunches of, even lights come down. Actually, you know what? Hold on one second. [rumbling] Pete, as you focus your mind, a whole row of lights snaps off and fuckin' clobbers them, and they have to spend their round crawling through it as you, whum-whum-whum-whum-whum! Create this swirling tornado in the fire.

0:33:00 Ally: Fuck yah.

0:33:15 Brennan: [imitates whooshing] So all of them instead use a dash action to surround Misty.

0:33:26 Murph: Shit.

0:33:27 Siobhan: Okay.

0:33:28 Ally: Okay, okay.

0:33:29 Brennan: So they handle their weapons, they're readying to kill you, but they are not able to attack you that round.

0:33:33 Ally: Do something!

0:33:34 Brennan: What a clutch fucking move. That is going to be, that fucking Erupting Earth, holy shit!

0:33:43 Ally: That's so sick.

0:33:44 Brennan: Sofia, that's you.

0:33:45 Emily: Okay. I would like to cast Jump on myself. And then I would like to jump to this costume rack and put on a costume.

0:33:54 Brennan: Unfortunately there's a wall, there's a big arch right here, so we can't see it. But the thing that--

0:33:58 Emily: Can I jump to this and then swing down to the costume, my jump distance is tripled right now.

0:34:03 Brennan: That is correct, I'm going to pull the jump calculator out. So you're casting Jump as your action and then moving. So yeah. You cast Jump, what's your strength, remind me?

0:34:18 Emily: My strength is 13.

0:34:21 Brennan: Five foot seven is 13, cool. You cast jump, where are you trying to make it to?

0:34:29 Emily: So I'm basically trying to use as much movement as I can to go grab a costume and then enter the fray. I'm hoping to try and sell this as part of the performance.

0:34:41 Ally: There's a cockroach on stage.

0:34:43 Brennan: Incredible, so without--

0:34:45 Siobhan: I've seen weirder plays.

0:34:45 Brennan: Remember you also, so Step of the Wind also increases your jump.

0:34:51 Emily: And maybe fuck it, you know what? I'm not even going to cast jump, I'll—

0:34:54 Brennan: Jump and Step of the Wind do work in harmony together.

0:34:57 Emily: Yeah, that, yeah, but I think I don't even need it, though.

0:35:00 Brennan: Okay. You can go 40 feet with a Jump check. So here's 40 feet. Oh my God, you can actually just make it there.

0:35:07 Emily: Yeah.

0:35:08 Brennan: That's insane, okay. That's insane.

0:35:10 Emily: So I'm going to jump, woo! Emily knocks Esther’s mini off of the box on accident.

0:35:12 Lou: Esther!

0:35:13 Emily: Sorry, Esther! I'm going to jump here, and then fall with my Slow Fall.

0:35:20 Brennan: Okay. You fall with your Slow Fall, so what is your speed?

0:35:22 Emily: And put on a costume.

0:35:25 Brennan: Your speed's 45, so jumping does take your speed into account. So you're gonna have to use Step of the Wind to move more than 45 feet in the round, like jump--

0:35:35 Emily: But I'm using, I'm not, 'cause I used an action, oh, I can't use dash, okay. Yeah, I'll also spend a Ki Point.

0:35:41 Brennan: Cool, you spend a Ki Point.

0:35:42 Emily: Spend a Ki Point, I put on a costume.

0:35:46 Brennan: Great.

0:35:46 Emily: And then I run on stage.

0:35:48 Brennan: This is actually, because you're grabbing a costume and this is also beauty work.

0:35:52 Emily: Uh-huh.

0:35:53 Brennan: I'm going to say make a dexterity-based Performance check. And you can roll with advantage.

0:36:03 Emily: Okay. [clears throat] So what do I add to it?

0:36:08 Brennan: Your dex modifier, and if you're proficient in Performance, then that.

0:36:11 Emily: So my performance and my dex, oh okay. So 8 plus, okay, so 19.

0:36:18 Brennan: 19. You grab something off the rack. You're in this shimmery, I'm going to say that you--

0:36:23 Emily: Can I come out and say,

0:36:23 Sofia: I may be little, but I am fierce!

0:36:28 Emily: Which is a line from the show.

0:36:29 Brennan: The critic goes,

0:36:30 Dupree St. Croix: That line already happened about an hour ago!

0:36:35 Brennan: Cool, but that's your turn.

0:36:37 Emily: And then can I, I just want to wedge myself in between Misty and some of these guys.

0:36:42 Brennan: Cool, let me just make sure, I know I'm being a stickler, but I'm just going to measure it out, 'cause you can move 90 feet, all told. So your jump to there is, what?

0:36:51 Emily: Was 40, you said?

0:36:53 Brennan: Yeah, I think it's 40, yeah, it's 40 to there. And then from the rack there is another 30, so that's 80, so you can get--

0:37:02 Zac: 40 plus 30 is--

0:37:04 Murph: 70.

0:37:05 Brennan: Oh 70! So you got another, you can move 20.

0:37:07 Emily: Yeah, so… We're back to, okay, so one.

0:37:11 Brennan: Two.

0:37:11 Emily: Two.

0:37:12 Brennan: Three

0:37:12 Emily: Three.

0:37:13 Emily: Four, okay, so I'm here.

0:37:14 Brennan: Cool. Awesome. That's Sofia.

0:37:19 Emily: Will that costume help me for future performance checks?

0:37:22 Brennan: Your costume is going to give you advantage on performance checks. Your costume's going to give you an advantage, you also, if you want, there is a chorus in this show, so if you'd rather roll acrobatics and dance, you're welcome to do that as well.

0:37:36 Emily: Oh, my acrobatics is dope, yes. I definitely do that.

0:37:39 Brennan: Incredible.

0:37:42 Emily: So I'm also dancing.

0:37:43 Siobhan: All those nights out in the Meat Packing District with your girls are finally paying off.

0:37:48 Ally: I think I've been to so many downtown dance shows I'm doing some pedestrian moves.

0:37:54 Brennan: That is fucking wild. Bada-boom.

0:37:59 Emily: What is that?

0:38:00 Ally: It's like, all fucking nonsense. [dramatic music]

0:38:05 Brennan: Confetti is going to, buh-buh-bum, fly a little ways away. Buh-buh-bum. Yeah, Confetti actually is going to fly right over here. Maybe even a little bit higher.

0:38:36 Siobhan: Oh my God, you have a retractable flying thing? That's dope.

0:38:40 Ally: Wow. Wow!

0:38:43 Zac: This is an amazing theater.

0:38:44 Lou: Yah.

0:38:46 Zac: Cool.

0:38:47 Brennan: One second. Lower it a little bit. Whew! I'm going to need Kugrash, Ox, and Ricky to all make dexterity saving throws.

0:39:02 Zac: Plus 3, Aura of Protection? Oh—

0:39:06 Brennan: Yes, Aura of Protection.

0:39:06 Siobhan: And you're Blessed as well.

0:39:08 Brennan: And you're all Blessed as well.

0:39:09 Lou: Kug is not.

0:39:10 Siobhan: Kug is not, that.

0:39:11 Murph: I did get a 19.

0:39:14 Dupree St. Croix: But then add his thing.

0:39:15 Murph: Oh no, I got a 19 with him.

0:39:16 Zac: I got a 16.

0:39:18 Brennan: You got a 16, okay. Esther got a nat 20.

0:39:22 Murph: Yess.

0:39:23 Brennan: Anyone roll for Ox?

0:39:24 Zac: Oh yes, I forget his stats, here. His dex save is, he's got plus 2, so that's just 1. You add 1 to it.

0:39:30 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

0:39:32 Zac: He got a 5.

0:39:34 Brennan: Okay. You each take, 5, 11,  You each take 8 points of damage, Ox takes 16 points of damage.

0:39:49 Zac: Ox is down. Turns into a light.

0:39:52 Ox: [barks] [high-pitched] I'll see you later! Bye bye!

0:39:56 Zac: How, I'm sorry, it took 16 you said.

0:39:58 Brennan: Yes, or no, you take 8. You take eight, Ox takes 16. Poor Ox! As you—

0:40:05 Murph: I have to do concentration.

0:40:06 Brennan: Yep.

0:40:07 Murph: I got War Caster Feat, so I'll roll it with advantage, but it's DC10, right?

0:40:10 Brennan: Yep.

0:40:10 Murph: I’m good.

0:40:10 Ally: Nice.

0:40:12 Murph: Hell yeah.

0:40:12 Brennan: Cool. Ox vanishes,

0:40:12 Siobhan: It always feels like a waste when you get two good rolls.

0:40:13 Brennan: you see that Don Confetti flies up and just goes, [imitates gunshots] and just opens up on your box seat with a gun.

0:40:21 Ricky: Is this part of it?

0:40:23 Pete: Oh, but people are seeing that, right? Since that's not on stage?

0:40:28 Brennan: It looks as though Confetti firing from on stage, you see that one of them goes,

0:40:33 Audience: Interactive theater!

0:40:35 Brennan: And you see Son—

0:40:38 Misty: Stop talking in the theater! Stop saying things out loud!

0:40:41 Brennan: Sondheim does not escape his grapple.

0:40:46 Sondheim: Let go of me, I wrote Sweeney Todd!

0:40:50 Brennan: You see, Ricky, it's going to be your turn.

0:40:52 Zac: Okay. I finally think, it finally dawned on Ricky that this is not part of the play.

0:40:58 Brennan: When Ox fully vanishes.

0:41:01 Zac: And Ricky is like, I think I understand plays. And so Ricky… [laughs] I have a question about Lay on Hands, that's an action, right? Or is it a bonus action?

0:41:17 Brennan: Oh, Lay on Hands is an action.

0:41:19 Zac: Okay. Trying to decide what's better to do, if someone else can heal her. But okay. So Ricky is just going to, just get fully naked. [Murph laughs really loudly]

0:41:35 Zac: And run onto stage.

0:41:37 Siobhan: Oh my God.

0:41:40 Zac: And run up—

0:41:41 Emily: Now I roll with disadvantage?

0:41:43 Lou: I think we all roll with it.

0:41:44 Emily: If I’m so wet—

0:41:45 Zac: And grab, and go up to Misty and start body rolling on her. [Brennan laughs]

0:41:53 Siobhan: Jesus Christ.

0:41:54 Zac: Cast Protection from Evil and Good.

0:41:58 Brennan: Ooh.

0:41:59 Zac: Until the spell ends, one willing creatures, your touch is protected against certain types of creatures including Fae. Protection, they all have to, they all have disadvantage on attack rolls on her.

0:42:08 Ally: Nice.

0:42:09 Brennan: Whoa!

0:42:10 Emily: Whoa!

0:42:11 Zac: And you can't be charmed, frightened, or possessed.

0:42:14 Murph: Nice.

0:42:15 Ally: That's awesome.

0:42:16 Brennan: Holy shit! You, something awakens deep in your stomach. Please give me a, because you're body rolling, can you give me a Performance roll with Strength as the ability you're using?

0:42:28 Zac: Yes, I very much can. Can I use Athletics or Strength.

0:42:32 Brennan: You can use Athletics.

0:42:33 Zac: Okay, cool. Still at 11.

0:42:36 Brennan: Okay, so you're just body rolling, and you see that the theater critic goes,

0:42:42 Dupree St. Croix: Mm, no, no, no, this doesn't make any sense at all, why is the male stripper here at the end? I don't see the connection. Perry...

0:42:51 Zac: Oh can I use a luck point?

0:42:53 Brennan: Sure, you can use luck point, if you want to re-roll it.

0:42:55 Murph: For body roll?

0:42:57 Zac: Does this feel, all right, whatever. Okay.

0:42:59 Emily: Yeah!

0:43:00 Zac: 23.

0:43:01 Brennan: Oh, you see that the critic goes,

0:43:03 Dupree St. Croix: Bold, daring, innovative, I love it! [Ally clapping]

0:43:07 Brennan: You see Perry LaFev over in the back, is holding the script going,

0:43:10 Perry: What the fuck is going on out there? I don't understand! Where is this coming from! Rebecca!

0:43:16 Brennan: You see that, ah-bup-bup-bum. Ricky, incredible. So you move, you cast that. You jump down there. And that's your action, to cast, any bonus action or no? I don't think you have a bonus action you can take, 'cause you cast a spell already.

0:43:30 Zac: Yeah, I think that's true.

0:43:30 Brennan: Cool. Great. Buh-buh-bum. Hell yeah. Esther is also going to cast—

0:43:43 Ally: Oh yeah, Ricky, you're Blessed also.

0:43:47 Brennan: Esther's going to go ahead and cast Jump on herself as well, she does not want to go on stage. But instead, boom [whooshing] Springs up here into the wings.

0:43:59 Ally: Fuck yeah.

0:44:01 Brennan: And—

0:44:02 Ally: What's Esther's deal?

0:44:05 Brennan: Oh, you see that she has a glowing silvery baseball bat as her Arcane Focus. [shimmering]

0:44:08 Ally: [unconvincingly] That’s what I was asking.

0:44:10 Siobhan: I don't think that's what he was asking.

0:44:12 Ally: No, that's what I was asking.

0:44:13 Brennan: Yeah, that's what you're asking?

0:44:14 Ally: [stilted] That's a cool weapon. I would never, it wouldn't work out.

0:44:19 Zac: I don't even know, I'm just concentrating on my—

0:44:21 Ally: Your only secret you've ever had in your life is that you have a crush on her, so.

0:44:25 Brennan: Incredible. Esther casts Jump. And then you see that she also casts some bonus action spell on herself. Pew! [explosion] And a little bit of circles of light appear around her. Em, if someone could pass me Em.

0:44:43 Ally: Yes.

0:44:45 Brennan: Em, whoosh. [whooshing] Flies all the way here, behind you on stage, reaches out and is going to heal you, Misty, for 16 hit points.

0:44:58 Siobhan: God bless you.

0:45:01 Brennan: And then, can someone hand me Wally?

0:45:04 Murph: Wally, what are you doing, bud?

0:45:07 Brennan: Wally's going to rush over here, he's going to jump here, make an Athletics check.

0:45:11 Siobhan: Does Wally also have to do a performance check?

0:45:14 Brennan: Wally sails gracefully through the air.

0:45:17 Ally: Yes! Murph, clearly nervous, rubs his brow.

0:45:18 Brennan: Lands on there. And you see he goes,

0:45:22 Wally: [singing very well] That you have but slumbered here, while these visions did appear! Ba-da-da-dah!

0:45:29 Brennan: And whips his MTA vest off. He's just trying to help. That's gonna go back to Kingston.

0:45:38 Lou: Okay.

0:45:39 Ally: Let's do this!

0:45:40 Lou: I guess I'll hop on stage.

0:45:42 Brennan: Cool, give me a little Athletics check to clear it up onto there.

0:45:44 Lou: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This can be 12.

0:45:48 Brennan: Cool, you make it up.

0:45:50 Lou: Great. And then what are you at now?

0:45:54 Siobhan: I'm at 59, I'm okay.

0:45:55 Lou: You're at 59, great.

0:45:56 Siobhan: I mean, some other kind of help would help.

0:45:58 Zac: But it's versus checks, right?

0:46:00 Ally: They are only going for you. Yeah.

0:46:01 Siobhan: Yeah, that's true, but I mean, my hit point max is 66.

0:46:04 Lou: Okay, great.

0:46:04 Siobhan: So.

0:46:06 Ally: Are you the only one who can give Bardic?

0:46:08 Siobhan: Yeah.

0:46:08 Ally: [whispering] Dang.

0:46:08 Lou: Great.

0:46:09 Siobhan: And I can't give it to myself.

0:46:11 Misty: Sondheim, give me Bardic Inspiration! [Ally and Siobhan laugh]

0:46:14 Lou: I'm gonna step off into the wings here, and then I will cast Bless again as a second level spell, giving it to one, two, three, and four.

0:46:26 Brennan: Woo, baby. Cool. Go ahead and move your figure behind the curtains.

0:46:29 Murph: Was that me or Pete you put it on?

0:46:31 Lou: It was Pete.

0:46:32 Murph: Fuck.

0:46:33 Lou: Do you need, do you have—

0:46:34 Murph: Whatever.

0:46:35 Zac: Are we all Blessed now?

0:46:37 Lou: No.

0:46:38 Zac: Oh, okay.

0:46:39 Ally: You can Bless Kugrash over me if you want, 'cause I can always do Bend Luck.

0:46:43 Lou: Sick. [points to Murph] My man.

0:46:44 Murph: [two thumbs up] Yeah, thanks.

0:46:44 Ally: To give myself a d4 if it's really important.

0:46:46 Brennan: Okay, cool. So Blesses all the way around. That is now, that's Kingston's turn. Kugrash, that's you.

0:46:56 Murph: Okay. Buh-buh-bah. How can I help Misty here? All right. I think, ah. All right, the fighters are up in there, I got Don Confetti up here. Don Confetti looks like he's got a spell cast on him, right?

0:47:12 Brennan: He does, yeah.

0:47:13 Murph: Okay. I would like to cast Dispel Magic--

0:47:17 Ally: Yeah, fuck yeah.

0:47:17 Murph: On Don Confetti.

0:47:19 Brennan: Ooh baby. Go ahead--

0:47:22 Murph: So yeah, it's a, any spell third level or lower on the target ends--

0:47:27 Siobhan: You should do it on the magical effect and not on the creature.

0:47:29 Murph: Right, oh yeah. I'm trying to do it on the magical effect. Whatever is going on with Don.

0:47:34 Ally: With Don and all of 'em.

0:47:35 Murph: Yeah.

0:47:36 Siobhan: Yeah.

0:47:37 Murph: So the DC equals 10 plus the spell's level. And I do, ability check using your spellcasting ability. So that's, okay, my spellcasting. So it's just Wisdom. So it's a plus 5, 10 plus whatever the spell level is.

0:47:51 Brennan: So I'm gonna need you to make a spell attack, I'm gonna need you to make your spellcasting attack, basically.

0:47:56 Murph: Okay. I think it's not spellcasting attack, I think it says just spellcasting--

0:48:01 Brennan: Make an ability check using your Spell Casting.

0:48:02 Murph: Yeah, so I think it's just plus 5. It's just my wisdom.

0:48:03 Brennan: It's just your wisdom plus five.

0:48:04 Murph: [extra-gravelly Kug voice] Come on!

0:48:05 Ally: And you're blessed.

0:48:07 Zac: And you’re blessed.

0:48:08 Murph: And I'm blessed, do I get to, I don't think I get to use that now.

0:48:10 Brennan: Not to this, no.

0:48:11 Murph: Come on! [hand slaps on table]

0:48:14 Murph: 2! [Brennan imitates explosion]

0:48:17 Murph: Fuck! What a waste.

0:48:19 Brennan: It does not work on the Don.

0:48:24 Murph: [sighs] There's nothing really I can do as a bonus action either, 'cause that's a spell, I'm up there by myself. I'll just jump down there and I'll go, I'll go stand next to my boy Wally.

0:48:34 Brennan: Okay. So you're gonna go jump on stage, right?

0:48:36 Murph: I'll go jump on stage.

0:48:37 Brennan: I'm gonna need a Performance check from you.

0:48:38 Murph: Goddamn it, can I do acrobatics?

0:48:39 Brennan: [laughs] Yes, you can do acrobatics.

0:48:41 Murph: I'd like to do some rat rolls--

0:48:41 Brennan: Yes, you can do, you can do some acrobatics.

0:48:43 Murph: Okay.

0:48:44 Siobhan: Also fully nude.

0:48:45 Murph: [singing] Deh-deh-deh-deh! Give me a break! Goddamn it!

0:48:51 Brennan: Nat 1, you—

0:48:53 Siobhan: Can’t you add Bardic Inspiration or Blessed.

0:48:55 Ally: Yeah, yeah.

0:48:56 Murph: I got a nat 1.

0:48:57 Brennan: Nat 1's auto fail.

0:48:58 Murph: He’s gonna fuckin' punish me.

0:48:59 Brennan: Cool. Kugrash face plants,

0:49:01 Ally: He’s gonna punish me?

0:49:02 Brennan: Kugrash, I'm gonna say you face plant on the stage, and your little rat body tumbles, and you let out a nasty blast of a fart, as you just, [imitates flatulence] and blow off a little bit.

0:49:08 Kugrash: Ah, ah, shit.

0:49:14 Brennan: You see that everyone in the theater screams. [shrieks] And they scream as loud as they can.

0:49:19 Emily: Oh no, rats are so bad! Rats are, people don't like rats!

0:49:24 Murph: I thought it was magic when I was on the stage!

0:49:26 Emily: Oh no!

0:49:27 Zac: You turn into some—

0:49:28 Lou: Yeah, doesn't he look like a hairy baby?

0:49:30 Brennan: Yeah, they're all seeing a hairy baby.

0:49:31 Emily: That’s true, yeah, yeah, yeah, a hairy baby!

0:49:34 Lou: I hate this farting, hairy baby.

0:49:35 Brennan: Absolutely hate it.

0:49:36 Emily: Instead of my attack, I'm gonna go to your hair.

0:49:40 Lou: We'll go backstage, get right, then come back out here.

0:49:45 Brennan: Okay.

0:49:47 Murph: What a bad turn. Just a legendary bad turn. Just...

0:49:51 Ally: Aww! You tried, that's what's important.

0:49:53 Emily: You tried. Don’t feel bad.

0:49:55 Lou: You put a lot of effort in in the right ways.

0:49:57 Ally: Yeah.

0:49:58 Emily: Don't feel bad, it was the dice that made it a bad turn.

0:50:01 Brennan: Kugrash, Pete, Wally, Esther, Kingston.

0:50:09 Siobhan: Sofia?

0:50:10 Brennan: Sofia.

0:50:11 Emily: I'm right here.

0:50:12 Brennan: Yeah, you guys are—

0:50:13 Zac: Ricky?

0:50:13 Brennan: One, two, three, four, five, six, yeah.

0:50:18 Zac: Ricky too?

0:50:20 Brennan: Ricky as well. Titania goes to cast a spell. She is casting a powerful charm spell, I'm gonna need—

0:50:30 Zac: You're immune to charm right now.

0:50:32 Siobhan: I am immune, I don't know if I'm immune to charm.

0:50:34 Zac: Protection From Evil and Good.

0:50:35 Siobhan: Oh yes, I am immune to charm. I would also like to try and Counterspell again.

0:50:40 Zac: Wait, actually, everyone within 10 feet of me can't be charmed.

0:50:43 Murph: Whoa.

0:50:44 Brennan: Can't be charmed?

0:50:45 Zac: Aura of Devotion.

0:50:46 Emily: Oh, I am within 10 feet of you!

0:50:50 Brennan: Hold on one sec, let me just double check.

0:50:52 Emily: Oh, Titania.

0:50:53 Zac: Starting at seventh level, you and friendly creatures—

0:50:54 Brennan: Can't be charmed while you're conscious! [Emily claps]

0:50:57 Brennan: Holy shit! This is very good for a faerie fight!

0:51:00 Emily: Take it, Titania! Take it!

0:51:02 Brennan: These bod, you see that Titania looks at you and says,

0:51:04 Titania: Human boy. Come live with me in Faerie Land. Look at those abs, you have abs on the side. What the hell is—

0:51:12 Ricky: These are from going this way. [mimes lifting]

0:51:15 Brennan: She is still going to cast a spell, so you can, you and all the people are going to be immune to it, but you can try to Counterspell—

0:51:20 Siobhan: Yeah, I mean, I'm going to give it a go.

0:51:22 Brennan: Go for it. Give me that Counterspell.

0:51:27 Siobhan: Nat 20, baby. Brennan’s jaw drops. [cheers]

0:51:28 Ally: Yeah! Thank God!

0:51:31 Brennan: Holy shit! [dramatic music]

0:51:34 Brennan: You see that she goes,

0:51:35 Titania: Human boy,

0:51:36 Brennan: And tries towards all of you, Misty, you bat the fuckin' spell out of here.

0:51:39 Misty: Get the fuck away from my friends!

0:51:43 Murph: Kug, I think your bad turn was outdone. By Titania herself.

0:51:49 Brennan: You see, in response to that, Titania raises up in the air, and--

0:51:58 Emily: Again, this is only good for it looking like an awesome play.

0:52:02 Siobhan: Yeah, this is some Spider-Man: Turn Back The Dark shit.

0:52:05 Emily: But no one's getting hurt.

0:52:07 Siobhan: Right, yet!

0:52:08 Brennan: You hear, you see that she turns to cast more magic at you, and you hear Perry going,

0:52:11 Perry: Cheat out! Cheat out, cheat out!

0:52:15 Brennan: And she's going to make another attack at you.

0:52:18 Siobhan: She has a second spell attack?

0:52:20 Brennan: She has a powerful spell on her that lets her make spell attacks as a bonus action.

0:52:24 Siobhan: That bitch.

0:52:25 Zac: Is this—

0:52:26 Brennan: Crown of Stars, look it up. Miss, she… [laughing]

0:52:30 Murph: Look it up.

0:52:31 Ally: Fuckin' look at, read a book!

0:52:33 Siobhan: Read a book.

0:52:34 Zac: Is this just an attack roll?

0:52:35 Brennan: It's just an attack roll.

0:52:36 Zac: She has disadvantage on that.

0:52:38 Brennan: Really?

0:52:38 Emily: Yeah.

0:52:39 Zac: This is Protection From Evil and Good. [holds out the spell card]

0:52:40 Brennan: Yeah, oh, she is Fae, right?

0:52:42 Zac: Yeah.

0:52:43 Brennan: Dude, this fuckin' spell.

0:52:44 Ally: It's great, great job, Ricky.

0:52:47 Murph: Just fuck you, man! Zac does a little body roll dance.

0:52:48 Ally: We're playing smart!

0:52:50 Brennan: She misses.

0:52:51 Ally: Yes!

0:52:52 Brennan: Boom! [magical explosion]

0:52:53 Emily: Yeah!

0:52:55 Brennan: That's Titania, Pete, that's your turn.

0:52:57 Ally: That's right, bitch. I step forward in front of the cockroach. And I cast Fireball on Titania.

0:53:06 Brennan: Ooh!

0:53:09 Ally: [pops lips] Let's see. 150 feet, yeah, we’re close. I cast it as a fourth level. She makes a Dex saving throw.

0:53:21 Brennan: Cool, you're casting that on Titania. She makes a dex saving throw. Hold on one second. Buh-buh-bum. You see that she… Dispels it. [magical tinkling] Counters it. Pew.

0:53:35 Titania: No, no, no. Little human boy, do you want to come and feed me grapes in Faerie Land?

0:53:41 Pete: No, Jesus! Shut up!

0:53:45 Brennan: Give me a Wild Magic roll.

0:53:46 Ally: Oh yeah, for sure. 18.

0:53:50 Brennan: Woo!

0:53:51 Ally: Okay, then I am going to… Freakin' run. I'm going to run so I'm not all clumped up anymore. Kinda like straight backstage, or just as far as I--

0:54:08 Brennan: As backstage as you can get?

0:54:10 Ally: Yeah.

0:54:10 Brennan: Cool, go ahead and start moving your movement, and I'm going to need a Performance check as you're moving across the stage.

0:54:14 Ally: Oh, you got it. What is that?

0:54:16 Brennan: Just charisma.

0:54:17 Ally: Charisma, oh, I have good charisma, I think.

0:54:21 Brennan: Yeah, plus 5.

0:54:22 Ally: Plus 8, oh no. Yeah, yeah. Plus five, plus five.

0:54:25 Siobhan: Yeah, the—

0:54:27 Ally: 13, 12.

0:54:27 Siobhan: Would you get proficiency?

0:54:28 Brennan: 12. Pete has not gotten a costume or anything, so Pete's just in his zebra cowboy hat.

0:54:32 Siobhan: But you do have, oh no, you don't have this.

0:54:35 Brennan: So yeah, Pete. Go ahead and move your figure.

0:54:38 Ally: Can you guys scoot it back? Just going straight back.

0:54:41 Emily: How much am I moving? One, two, three, four. What is it. I think it's six.

0:54:44 Brennan: Cool. You duck behind the curtain back there?

0:54:47 Ally: Yeah, yeah, just behind the curtain. That's fine, thank you!

0:54:49 Brennan: Dope. You get out of harm's way. Cool. That is going to be, these guys vanish behind the curtains, so you cannot actually see these guys, 'cause no one's got eyes behind the curtain.

0:55:02 Ally: I'm behind the curtain though.

0:55:04 Brennan: No, you're behind the drawn curtains. But remember, we had to pull it for the thing.

0:55:08 Ally: Got it.

0:55:09 Brennan: There's a big thing behind there. So the pixies disappear with Sondheim.

0:55:13 Siobhan: [laughs] God.

0:55:14 Murph: Is Stephen Sondheim gonna die?

0:55:16 Zac: I think, is she gonna take him to Faerie?

0:55:20 Murph: [gasps] Shit!

0:55:21 Siobhan: God, have we got to rescue Stephen Sondheim from Faerie?

0:55:24 Emily: Do we need to, I mean, I felt like I--

0:55:26 Murph: We gotta rescue Misty, too. We gotta--

0:55:28 Siobhan: I mean, between me and Sondheim, get Sondheim!

0:55:32 Brennan: Cool!

0:55:33 Emily: Really, 'cause I'm—

0:55:34 Siobhan: All right.

0:55:35 Murph: I'll get Sondheim, because I'm useless on stage.

0:55:37 Brennan: Misty, it is your turn.

0:55:39 Siobhan: Mm-hmm?

0:55:40 Brennan: I don't believe you took any damage last turn.

0:55:41 Siobhan: I did not.

0:55:42 Murph: I don't think you did.

0:55:43 Brennan: Okay, so the difficulty is only being raised by two for failed Performance checks on stage. You have to elevate those performers while they're on stage gumming up the works next to you.

0:55:52 Siobhan: Okay.

0:55:53 Brennan: So the only, Sofia succeeded.

0:55:55 Zac: I succeeded.

0:55:56 Brennan: Ricky succeeded. Only, actually let me roll for Em real quick. Em actually succeeds, she just looks like a cool piece of production design. The cockroach and Kugrash failed. Wally actually succeeded. So the DC for this is 14.

0:56:11 Siobhan: Great. [whooshing]

0:56:13 Ally: What was the success for…

0:56:14 Siobhan: Oh, and I have Bardic now.

0:56:15 Brennan: Hm?

0:56:15 Ally: What was the success for Performance?

0:56:17 Zac: Oh, you have—

0:56:17 Siobhan: I mean, yeah.

0:56:19 Brennan: What was whose success for Performance?

0:56:20 Ally: What was the DC for Performance check?

0:56:22 Brennan: The DC for performance to not fuck up Misty is 15.

0:56:26 Ally: Oh, then I failed too.

0:56:27 Brennan: Oh, you failed as well. Okay, so it's going to be 16.

0:56:29 Zac: You didn't add anything to that?

0:56:30 Siobhan: [to Ally, mockingly] Do we have homework tonight?

0:56:32 Ally: [laughing] Sorry.

0:56:34 Brennan: All right, so we're rolling two dice. You need to beat a 16.

0:56:36 Ally: Okay. Now that I know how it works, I'll reroll on those.

0:56:42 Murph: What?

0:56:42 Emily: What?

0:56:43 Lou: With a Bless?

0:56:44 Siobhan: With a Bless I got 10.

0:56:46 Brennan: No no, you add your Performance to it.

0:56:47 Siobhan: Oh, I add my Performance to it?

0:56:48 Brennan: Yeah.

0:56:49 Siobhan: Oh, plus 11!

0:56:50 Brennan: Oh, then you succeed.

0:56:52 Emily: Oh yay!

0:56:54 Zac: Did you succeed last time?

0:56:55 Emily: Because last time was 28.

0:56:55 Siobhan: It was 28.

0:56:56 Murph: One, one.

0:56:57 Emily: Last time it was 16.

0:56:58 Zac: Yeah.

0:56:58 Ally: Oh yeah.

0:56:59 Brennan: Cool. These two little mobsters over here are gonna go, they're each gonna take shots at Misty, what's your, your armour, I know your armor class. It’s 14. I'm gonna need two Constitution saving throws.

0:57:13 Ally: So that's one save, right?

0:57:15 Siobhan: Oh yes, thank you.

0:57:18 Ally: We did have homework.

0:57:20 Siobhan: Ah, all right. Well, I'll think about forgiving you.

0:57:22 Ally: We did, we actually did. [laughs]

0:57:25 Siobhan: Ah fuck. That is a 7.

0:57:31 Emily: Aren't you Blessed?

0:57:32 Lou: You are Blessed. [suspenseful music]

0:57:35 Siobhan: Oh sorry, a… Two Constitution saving throws, so one of them is 3, 7, 9, and then one of them is 5, 7, 9 and 10.

0:57:51 Brennan: Nine and 10, okay. Firstly--

0:57:53 Zac: How do you get, is it a saving throw? You get to add 3 to it?

0:57:56 Brennan: We didn't, I'm sorry. The saving throw you add 3 to, also these guys are Fae, so sorry, there's a lot of math going on right now. Let me actually roll—

0:58:02 Siobhan: Oh God!

0:58:03 Brennan: I'm gonna roll to see if these guys… Okay, one of them does still hit, even with the protection.

0:58:08 Zac: Are they just attacking her?

0:58:09 Brennan: They're just attacking.

0:58:10 Zac: Can I also make my attack on them from Sentinel?

0:58:12 Brennan: They're ranged attacks, so it's these guys up here.

0:58:14 Zac: Oh those guys, excuse me.

0:58:15 Siobhan: This guy is under Hypnotic Pattern.

0:58:18 Brennan: Oh, he is!

0:58:20 Siobhan: Yeah.

0:58:21 Brennan: We've totally botched all of this! None of this happens, they both miss, everything is good! [tense music stops]

0:58:23 Siobhan: Great!

0:58:25 Murph: Great!

0:58:26 Brennan: Cool! Good! It's good, because they both went before you anyway, but none of it would have mattered.

0:58:32 Siobhan: Great.

0:58:33 Brennan: [to the camera] D&D has a lot going on. Okay.

0:58:35 Siobhan: Complicated. A lot of arithmetic.

0:58:36 Brennan: One failure, one success in the ritual. [Ally whistles]

0:58:40 Brennan: That is going to be these Seelie.

0:58:44 Siobhan: Wait, I haven't gone!

0:58:45 Brennan: You haven't even gone, your turn, that's right, thank you, yes, yes, yes.

0:58:47 Siobhan: So what I would like to do is cast Puppet on Titania, which is a Constitution saving throw. And on a failed save, the target must move up to its speed in a direction you choose. In addition, and let me see if you will let me do this, Brennan.

0:59:02 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

0:59:02 Siobhan: You can cause the target to drop whatever it's holding, so I would love for her to drop that beautiful crown that is on her head.

0:59:07 Brennan: Ooh! I would be very down to allow that. She's making a Constitution save. She does have advantage against spells.

0:59:17 Siobhan: Great. Love it.

0:59:19 Brennan: Let's see how she fares, she's gotta beat a 16. Constitution is not her best score. She succeeds.

0:59:29 Siobhan: Well, you know what? It was worth a try.

0:59:31 Ally: She's so fucking powerful.

0:59:33 Brennan: She's fucking Titania! She's Queen of the Fairies!

0:59:35 Emily: Don't you remember when she tried to cast that big spell? Fuckin' failed.

0:59:39 Ally: Yeah, true.

0:59:40 Siobhan: And then I would like to Misty Step to the other side of Ricky, so I'm still within his Aura of Protection, but I'm not surrounded by all of these Fae creatures.

0:59:52 Emily: Sounds like right here. [whooshing]

0:59:54 Siobhan: Yeah.

0:59:55 Brennan: Awesome.

0:59:56 Zac: Bet it looked cool.

0:59:57 Brennan: And you, you see, cool. And you see that you're so, you're surrounded, you didn't take any damage. Some other bad things happened, you fully teleport in a flash of light and hit the fuckin' high note.

1:00:06 Siobhan: I throw a smoke bomb for—

1:00:09 Brennan: [laughs] You have real magic, but you also are throwing smoke bombs just to add a little bit of extra spice.

1:00:13 Siobhan: I just, we want to give it some momentum.

1:00:16 Emily: So if this person tries to go attack her, will I get an attack of opportunity on them?

1:00:21 Brennan: Yeah, if anyone leaves your threatened area, yes, absolutely.

1:00:25 Siobhan: Am I still, do I have to be within five feet of you, or within 10 feet of you?

1:00:28 Zac: To get 10 feet, so if you go five feet forward—

1:00:31 Siobhan: Oh fuck.

1:00:32 Brennan: Yeah, I might move—

1:00:33 Emily: Mr. Confetti!

1:00:34 Brennan: If you, actually, even though that aura's very good, I will also say that things could move to, no actually yeah, that's great. Nevermind, yeah.

1:00:41 Siobhan: Cause if they, if they move towards me now, both Ricky and Sofia get opportunity attacks?

1:00:46 Brennan: Unless, Sofia would. Ricky will only get it if they don't, if they leave his threatened area. So they could move—

1:00:52 Siobhan: But he has Sentinel. So if they move—

1:00:55 Zac: If they attack her.

1:00:55 Brennan: If they attack, yes. Then you get attacks on them, that's correct.

1:00:59 Siobhan: Okay, great.

1:01:00 Brennan: Cool. You, [imitates explosion]. You know, [sings] That you have but slumbered here, pow! [normal] You appear, that's your bonus action. Your action, that's going to be, yeah, that's gonna be the Seelie. Cool. So this one, first of all, isn't going to move without leaving Ricky's threatened area. This one does leave.

1:01:24 Emily: Woo!

1:01:26 Brennan: Sofia's.

1:01:27 Emily: Okay. It's probably gonna hit, so I'm not gonna add anything to it yet. But. Okay, does a 28 hit.

1:01:38 Brennan: Yeah, for sure.

1:01:39 Emily: Okay. [laughs] 10.

1:01:43 Murph: Nice.

1:01:44 Brennan: Ooh!

1:01:45 Emily: Can I use my bonus when I'm getting an attack of opportunity?

1:01:47 Brennan: No, it's just one attack.

1:01:48 Emily: Okay, so it's just that one attack, all right.

1:01:52 Brennan: Cool.

1:01:53 Emily: I can't use a ki point to add an extra Flurry of Blows or something?

1:01:56 Brennan: No, you can't, you could use a ki point to do Stunning Strike.

1:01:58 Emily: Stunning Strike, okay, I'll do Stunning Strike.

1:02:00 Brennan: Cool. And the DC on that is 14, it's a Constitution save, correct?

1:02:03 Emily: Yeah.

1:02:06 Brennan: Nat 1. You see it, this person, this person goes to attack, and instead you roundhouse kick this Elven warrior right in the head. [impact] She, [imitates grogginess]. Is extremely stunned 'til the end of your next turn.

1:02:23 Emily: Nice.

1:02:25 Brennan: Wild. Those two move over here. This one's going to try to avoid Ricky, so five, ten, fifteen.

1:02:32 Siobhan: Doesn't she leave Em's—

1:02:34 Brennan: Yeah, she does, so Em's gonna take a swipe and move over here to you. [dramatic music]

1:02:42 Brennan: Em misses.

1:02:43 Siobhan: Dang it.

1:02:44 Brennan: This one, I actually don't think can get to you. Unless it goes through Ricky, so this one's—

1:02:48 Emily: Is that leaving, don't I get an attack, oh, I already—

1:02:50 Brennan: You only use your reaction. So Ricky, you do get an attack opportunity on this one here that's moving past you.

1:02:55 Zac: Mkay, I will swing. That is 20-something.

1:03:02 Brennan: You definitely hit.

1:03:03 Zac: All right, cool.

1:03:04 Murph: Get ‘em, Rick.

1:03:05 Zac: Then I'll do 1d8.

1:03:09 Ally: Do you—

1:03:10 Siobhan: Still fully naked. Dick fully out on stage.

1:03:11 Lou: So wild.

1:03:12 Zac: Yes. And I'd like to Divine Smite as well.

1:03:17 Murph: Nice.

1:03:18 Zac: So that was 5 plus… 7. 2. So 5.

1:03:26 Siobhan: 19, 17?

1:03:29 Zac: 7, 2, 5… 14?

1:03:30 Brennan: 7, 2, and 5 is 14. You wallop that Seelie, and stop it in its tracks with Sentinel, preventing it from closing in.

1:03:38 Emily: Woo!

1:03:39 Siobhan: Great.

1:03:39 Brennan: Incredible. Yeah, your two warrior buddies got your back. Whoa, bah, bah, bah! [impacts] You see that the critic from the New York Times says,

1:03:46 Dupree St. Croix: The fight choreography in what I had presumed would be a violence-less play, is really stunning, incredible work.

1:03:56 Brennan: They are set, but two of them are gonna get attacks at disadvantage against Misty. [suspenseful music]

1:04:02 Brennan: Ooh, that's not very good. At all.

1:04:05 Ally: Or just one, right? 'Cause isn't one of them getting to her but not attacking?

1:04:09 Brennan: No, one of them, the two of them are getting with the ability to attack.

1:04:12 Siobhan: Ah, whichever one succeeded against me.

1:04:16 Brennan: The, are you gonna subtract from this attack?

1:04:20 Siobhan: Yes.

1:04:21 Brennan: Okay, cool. Go ahead and roll your Cutting Words. [suspenseful music]

1:04:28 Siobhan: That is a 4.

1:04:29 Brennan: That prevents the hit, yep.

1:04:30 Siobhan: Oh God.

1:04:31 Brennan: Another one attacks.

1:04:39 Lou: [fanning himself] Oh God.

1:04:42 Brennan: Okay, one of them runs up, Misty, and deals you...

1:04:47 Murph: Shit.

1:04:51 Brennan: 20 points of damage.

1:04:52 Siobhan: Goddamn.

1:04:53 Ally: Do you have the juicy cockroach added to your health?

1:04:55 Siobhan: I do.

1:04:56 Ally: 'Cause it's right next to you.

1:04:58 Brennan: Cool. That's the Seelie. Incredible, that's now going to be Sofia.

1:05:05 Emily: Okay. I'm just gonna--

1:05:07 Siobhan: Don't forget you still have Bardic if you need it.

1:05:08 Emily: Fuck up this person in front of me. And since she's stunned, I have advantage on all my attacks.

1:05:12 Brennan: Go ahead and roll.

1:05:13 Murph: Nice.

1:05:15 Emily: First one is going to be, I'm guessing 21 hits, so I'm not gonna use my Bardic. Oh wait, actually. I'm guessing 25 hits.

1:05:22 Brennan: 25 does hit.

1:05:23 Emily: Okay. [clears throat] It's gonna be 9, second one. It's gonna be, it was definitely gonna hit. It's gonna be 28, and then… Just 6. How's she looking?

1:05:40 Brennan: Okay. So now you're rolling damage for these, right?

1:05:43 Emily: Oh no, that's the damage, I just, oh sorry, I just sufficiently rolled the—

1:05:46 Brennan: Got you. How much damage did you over-roll?

1:05:48 Emily: I think it was 9 and then 6, so 15 so far?

1:05:53 Brennan: 9 and then 6. She drops on 9, dead.

1:05:57 Emily: Oh okay, so can I then actually, 'cause I'm gonna Flurry of Blows, can I use a disengage so then use the rest of my attack?

1:06:03 Brennan: You don't even have to disengage, no one's threatening you right now.

1:06:05 Emily: Oh, okay! So I'm gonna go over to this person.

1:06:07 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

1:06:08 Emily: And then do an attack on, do my second attack on them.

1:06:11 Brennan: Cool.

1:06:13 Ally: This should be looking really bad. [laughs]

1:06:16 Emily: Does a 20 hit?

1:06:18 Brennan: A 20 does hit, yes.

1:06:20 Emily: Okay. So that's gonna be 7.

1:06:24 Brennan: Okay.

1:06:25 Emily: And then I'm gonna Flurry of Blows. Oh that is, they're both gonna hit.

1:06:31 Brennan: Cool.

1:06:32 Emily: And then--

1:06:32 Zac: Is that a 19?

1:06:33 Siobhan: A 19 crits, doesn't it?

1:06:33 Ally: 19 crits.

1:06:34 Emily: No, no, no, no, that's when, that's if I do my Hexblade.

1:06:36 Ally: Oh, right.

1:06:37 Emily: So that's, So I do another, 14.

1:06:40 Brennan: 14? Another 14 damage to the one there?

1:06:43 Emily: Yeah.

1:06:44 Brennan: You drop two of the Seelie in one round. Sofia, whoa! [impacts]

1:06:48 Emily: Whoa!

1:06:48 Brennan: I'm gonna need a Performance, dex, or an Acrobatics. [Emily clears throat]

1:06:53 Ally: You have Bardic, I think?

1:06:54 Emily: I don't even need it, I'm saving it for when I need it, I got a 30.

1:06:58 Brennan: You see one extremely big guy in the back of the house that was not excited about coming to this premier, but he sees like, got a big coat on, and was clearly would rather see an action movie, goes, [screaming]

1:07:09 Audience: [yelling] Woo! Broadway rules, dude! Broadway fuckin' rules! I love the theater!

1:07:17 Brennan: Yeah, that is an incredible acrobatic success. This one fuckin' drops. Sofia, incredible turn. Oh, this one that you stopped, I just realized, you don't stun them, you just stop them, so that one is gonna take a swing on you.

1:07:32 Zac: All right.

1:07:35 Brennan: And is going to hit. Which is going to deal you... 12, 13, 17 points of damage. I'm gonna need a Constitution saving throw.

1:07:47 Emily: So can I go back to do one thing? So since I did my Flurry of Blows, I actually get the disengage, so I'm gonna disengage from there and be right next to this person.

1:07:54 Brennan: Awesome, great.

1:07:55 Zac: Okay. That was 17, you said? 11...

1:08:03 Brennan: That's a success, yeah.

1:08:04 Zac: Okay.

1:08:05 Brennan: So you hold on to your protection, but you do take 17 points of damage.

1:08:08 Zac: All right, cool.

1:08:10 Brennan: That's going to be—

1:08:11 Zac: I'm at 71.

1:08:13 Brennan: [laughs] That's gonna be, that's the Seelie, Sofia just went, that's awesome.

1:08:18 Siobhan: Oh, I haven't been rolling for my concentration.

1:08:22 Brennan: Oh for you, what spell do you have?

1:08:23 Siobhan: So I'll do it right now. I have Hypnotic Pattern on just the one guy.

1:08:27 Brennan: Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, go for it.

1:08:29 Emily: [to Zac] Oh, Protection from Good and Evil is concentration?

1:08:30 Lou: You’re Blessed.

1:08:31 Siobhan: Do I add my, oh yeah. I'm fine. Yeah. 10.

1:08:35 Brennan: Cool.

1:08:35 Siobhan: 10.

1:08:36 Brennan: Even when he, but you're trying to beat a 13, so you took 26 points of damage.

1:08:39 Siobhan: Oh wait, plus my Constitution?

1:08:40 Brennan: Yeah, plus your Constitution modifier. Do you beat a 13?

1:08:42 Zac: Oh hey, plus 3, right?

1:08:43 Siobhan: Oh, plus 3.

1:08:43 Brennan: Plus three, yeah.

1:08:45 Siobhan: So plus, yeah, absolutely, I get 15.

1:08:46 Brennan: Cool, cool, cool. You're holding on to your spell just fine. That's awesome. Cool. [suspenseful music]

1:08:54 Brennan: Don Confetti is going to drop down and make an attack on Misty.

1:09:07 Misty: Fuck! Don, we've been such good old friends!

1:09:08 Zac: And it is with disadvantage.

1:09:10 Brennan: It is a disadvantage, that's correct. I can't believe how good Protection From Good and Evil is.

1:09:14 Siobhan: It's great. Thank God.

1:09:17 Brennan: And misses.

1:09:18 Emily: Woo!

1:09:20 Brennan: And then he goes ahead,

1:09:22 Ally: That’s great.

1:09:23 Brennan: But is a little bit lower in elevation now. That's going to be… You hear the noise of Stephen Sondheim struggling with the pixies in the back. [grunting, struggle] And that's going to be Ricky.

1:09:41 Zac: Ricky is going to, huh.

1:09:46 Emily: There's two Seelies still there.

1:09:48 Zac: There's the one, okay, so I'll—

1:09:49 Ally: There's a Seelie right next to you in the—

1:09:51 Zac: Can I take an attack on this one, then take a five foot step between the two, does that make sense?

1:09:56 Brennan: You can move between your attack and your extra attack, yes.

1:09:58 Zac: So I will just attack, how hurt are you?

1:10:04 Siobhan: I'm at 39.

1:10:06 Zac: Does it feel like someone's gonna heal you before the next--

1:10:08 Lou: I can do it.

1:10:09 Siobhan: I'll be fine.

1:10:10 Zac: All right, I'm just gonna attack the one in front of me. So first. [suspenseful music]

1:10:16 Zac: A 15.

1:10:17 Brennan: That's a definite hit.

1:10:19 Zac: Bless. And then, oh. Even better.

1:10:21 Brennan: Cool.

1:10:22 Zac: Okay, so for the first one that's, I'll do Divine Smite on that person as well. So that's, can I have one of your d8’s?

1:10:31 Emily: Yeah. Oh, right here.

1:10:33 Zac: Cool. So this is the first attack. So this is 8, 7, 2, so 17?

1:10:42 Brennan: 17. Cool. Badly hurt, 17 damage, badly hurt.

1:10:49 Zac: Okay, and then I'll just do a regular attack and decide if I Divine Smite after.

1:10:54 Brennan: Cool.

1:10:55 Zac: So that's… oh, I didn't even add the 8. Just the flat 8 as well. So 17 plus 8.

1:11:02 Brennan: Oh, in that case you drop that Seelie on the first attack, boom.

1:11:06 Zac: Great.

1:11:07 Emily: Another Seelie. Seelie clean up.

1:11:08 Zac: And then I'm gonna move over to the other one. Under Don Confetti.

1:11:14 Brennan: Cool. [suspenseful music]

1:11:16 Zac: And attack that guy. Which, yeah okay. That's a 20.

1:11:28 Brennan: 20 hits, yeah.

1:11:29 Zac: Okay, cool. Then… So that's, I hit him for…14.

1:11:37 Brennan: Okay.

1:11:38 Zac: And I guess I'll Divine Smite.

1:11:40 Brennan: Cool. Burning through those spells, yeah.

1:11:45 Zac: So that's another 12 on top of that.

1:11:49 Brennan: Cool, he's looking fucked up.

1:11:51 Zac: That, and I can't use a bonus action, right? 'Cause is Divine Smite a bonus action?

1:11:55 Brennan: Bonus, Divine Smite is not a bonus action, so you can use a bonus action.

1:11:58 Zac: As a bonus action I'll use Sanctuary.

1:12:00 Brennan: Is Sanctuary concentration?

1:12:02 Zac: It is not. Zac hands Brennan Sanctuary’s spell card.

1:12:02 Brennan: Whoa!

1:12:04 Zac: According to this card, at least.

1:12:05 Brennan: Very, wow. Ricky protecting the health.

1:12:08 Siobhan: You know what, gotta pay it forward. I've been saving Ricky so many times.

1:12:11 Ricky: I am paying it back.

1:12:14 Brennan: Incredible turn from Ricky. Awesome. Fuck it. You see, it is now—

1:12:24 Misty: I'm just so inspired by that beautiful penis!

1:12:29 Zac: The whole crowd is!

1:12:29 Misty: Jiggling around the stage!

1:12:32 Brennan: Wally—

1:12:33 Misty: [dancing] How has his penis got abs?

1:12:36 Brennan: Wally makes another successful performance check and moves next to Misty to start harmonizing with Misty. Em rushes forward to Misty, and is going to heal you for…11 hit points.

1:12:49 Ally: Nice.

1:13:03 Brennan: Esther runs over here out of sight of where everyone is, but you see her flatten herself to the catwalk, hold out her baseball bat, and blast Titania with a Lightning Bolt. [thunderclap]

1:13:14 Siobhan: Sick.

1:13:15 Emily: Woo!

1:13:16 Ally: Whoa. And it's not countered or anything?

1:13:19 Brennan: Titania's already used her counter this round.

1:13:24 Murph: So are we looking to save Sondheim?

1:13:27 Lou: I'm gonna run back.

1:13:27 Ally: I’m on my way.

1:13:28 Siobhan: Save Sondheim?

1:13:29 Lou: On my next one.

1:13:30 Emily: I feel like I'm on Misty duty.

1:13:32 Murph: Yeah.

1:13:33 Zac: Me too.

1:13:34 Ally: I'm halfway back there.

1:13:34 Murph: 'Cause I can,

1:13:34 Zac: What a great, what are we talking about?

1:13:39 Murph: Save Sondheim.

1:13:40 Lou: Who's on Sondheim duty?

1:13:42 Zac: Are we trying to save Stephen Sondheim from these faeries?

1:13:51 Murph: Brennan, does Wally have any movement to scoop his dad and run him towards Sondheim if—

1:14:00 Brennan: If Kugrash wanted it? Yeah, he could actually, instead of singing, if you look at that, Wally goes like,

1:14:04 Wally: Dad, we're in a musical!

1:14:05 Kugrash: Yeah! You know Stephen Sondheim, right?

1:14:08 Wally: [singing] I dreamed a dream in times gone by!

1:14:10 Kugrash: Yeah, we gotta go save his life!

1:14:12 Wally: What?

1:14:12 Kugrash: You gotta go run me back!

1:14:13 Sofia: Is that Sondheim? Misty shakes her head at Sofia. It is not Sondheim; Les Mis’ music is by Claude-Michael Schönberg.

1:14:13 Wally: Okay!

1:14:14 Kugrash: Pick up your dad!

1:14:15 Wally: No, you know, like [sings] Hakuna Matata! With Sondheim!

1:14:18 Sofia: Yeah, you're so good, kid!

1:14:20 Kugrash: We gotta help the Lion King!

1:14:22 Wally: I love you, Mufasa!

1:14:24 Brennan: He rushes you back here.

1:14:25 Kugrash: Mufasa's fine.

1:14:27 Brennan: You rush back past Pete, you see Alissa, Misty's assistant saying,

1:14:30 Alissa: Is everything all right? Does she need a coffee, what's going on out there?

1:14:33 Kugrash: Everything's good!

1:14:34 Brennan: Cool. You rush back there, Esther blasts Titania with a Lightning Bolt. And I think actually, she can nail the guy behind him too. No, that guy dodges. That is now going to be back to Kingston.

1:14:54 Lou: What are you at now?

1:14:55 Siobhan: I'm at 50.

1:14:56 Lou: 50, great. Oh, what a dream!

1:15:00 Murph: I think I can get to Sondheim.

1:15:02 Lou: You got Sondheim, great. [Emily laughs]

1:15:04 Murph: I got Sondheim.

1:15:05 Lou: Guys, we have, I mean, we're nailing it. I guess, let me try and hit, I'll try and hit Titania with a Guiding Bolt.

1:15:16 Brennan: Hell yeah, go for it.

1:15:19 Lou: It's gonna be 18.

1:15:21 Brennan: 18 hits.

1:15:22 Lou: Great. Great, great, great. Great, great. [suspenseful music]

1:15:29 Siobhan: [whispering] Fuck yes.

1:15:32 Lou: 17. And then next attack on her has advantage.

1:15:36 Emily: Ooh!

1:15:41 Brennan: Ohh! You reach up a hand. [explosion] Light erupts from backstage. Titania shrieks in pain. Yeah, badly hurt. And then, are you staying in position, or are you moving?

1:15:55 Lou: I'll wait for Kug. Can I make an Insight check on Alissa?

1:15:59 Brennan: Sure.

1:15:59 Lou: Great. Nat 1. [Emily laughs]

1:16:04 Brennan: Alissa seems pretty useless to you.

1:16:05 Lou: Great, good, good.

1:16:07 Brennan: Kugrash, that's you, baby.

1:16:09 Murph: All right. I guess I'm, at first I'm gonna use my movement to see how, 'cause there's a curtain here, right?

1:16:17 Brennan: Yeah, right behind the trees.

1:16:19 Murph: Great, so I would like to get behind the trees and see what's going on here.

1:16:22 Brennan: So, but you want to get behind the curtain, in other words?

1:16:24 Murph: Yeah, behind the curtain, before I use any more movement or anything. Just take the five or ten feet, whatever it takes.

1:16:29 Brennan: Cool. How are you getting back there? You're just running back there?

1:16:33 Murph: Running back there.

1:16:34 Brennan: Two pixies open fire if you run back there, they're ready to action.

1:16:37 Murph: But Sondheim's free?

1:16:37 Brennan: Sondheim is slumped against a bunch of boxes. It looks like they just, when the fight broke out, grabbed Stephen Sondheim, started kicking the shit out of him.

1:16:45 Kugrash: Stephen Sondheim, are you all right?

1:16:48 Brennan: You see Stephen Sondheim says,

1:16:50 Sondheim: Listen, I've had worse from the New Yorker, you know what I'm talking about?

1:16:55 Kugrash: [laughs] That wit, that wit! We're gonna die, bud!

1:17:00 Sofia: Tell him I love Into the Woods!

1:17:02 Kugrash: Sofia loves Into the Woods.

1:17:04 Brennan: Incredible. Yeah, one pixie's actually gonna take a swing at you.

1:17:08 Kugrash: My son loves The Lion King! We're huge fans of your work!

1:17:10 Sondheim: I did not make that. I had nothing to do with that.

1:17:13 Kugrash: We watched your movie. It was really good!

1:17:13 Sondheim: That's Sir Elton John and wasn't it Tim Rice?

1:17:15 Kugrash: Yeah!

1:17:16 Brennan: You see that, takes a swing. That guy misses. Next guy, next pixie hits. I'm gonna need a Constitution saving throw.

1:17:27 Murph: [laughs] Hmm, 6.

1:17:28 Lou: You're Blessed.

1:17:29 Murph: Oh, I am Blessed, it's probably not gonna help too much.

1:17:32 Lou: Well.

1:17:33 Zac: Are you, no you're not.

1:17:34 Murph: 9.

1:17:36 Brennan: 9? Okay, you take 10 points of damage.

1:17:38 Murph: Good.

1:17:39 Brennan: As one of them shoots you with a gun, and you are poisoned.

1:17:41 Murph: Good! Oh, I'm immune to being poisoned.

1:17:43 Brennan: Oh, you're a dirty little rat!

1:17:44 Murph: A dirty little rat!

1:17:45 Emily: Ooohhh, he’s a rat all the time!

1:17:45 Brennan: You are not poisoned! So just, whap!

1:17:48 Siobhan: So let's turn around and poison them!

1:17:50 Murph: I actually have resistance to poison damage. I don't know if any other damage—

1:17:53 Brennan: Oh, no this was not poison damage. It was just with a gun, and then poison addition. Cool, but you use 10 feet of movement to get within range. They hit you, and--

1:18:00 Murph: And they're just standing there.

1:18:02 Brennan: They're just standing there, yeah.

1:18:03 Murph: Okay, okay. So one guy's right on top of me.

1:18:05 Brennan: And this is past, now you're just back in regular New York, 'cause this is a big curtain here, so the audience, you're not fucking with the ritual at all if you're going to get back here.

1:18:12 Murph: Good, I'm better behind the curtain. Let's see here, okay. I got that one guy there.

1:18:17 Emily: He's an excellent stage hand.

1:18:18 Murph: Excellent, that—

1:18:19 Siobhan: Oh my God, you'd be such a good stage hand.

1:18:20 Murph: Yeah, thank you.

1:18:21 Siobhan: All dark and wriggling. [mimes tugging on curtains] Pulling things.

1:18:22 Murph: Let's see. Okay, you know what? Maybe I'll summon my rats.

1:18:27 Ally: Yeah!

1:18:29 Murph: I'm gonna go ahead and use my, oh wait, no rats aren't gonna be any good against these fuckin' flying dudes. Motherfuckers.

1:18:39 Ally: Can you summon wasps?

1:18:42 Emily: Pigeons? Bumblebees?

1:18:43 Murph: I can summon, I can Conjure Animals, but I can't pick what they are.

1:18:47 Siobhan: Real slow, buzzing around, going for flowers. They're not attacking anybody because it hurts them to do that.

1:18:52 Lou: It's just a bunch of, yeah, they just fly up to the fake trees.

1:18:54 Siobhan: Make some honey.

1:18:55 Murph: I'm just gonna do Thunder Wave on this guy right in front of me.

1:18:58 Brennan: Dope. Go ahead and cast the spell.

1:19:00 Murph: Cool, I'm gonna do it at a third level, 'cause why not.

1:19:04 Brennan: Hell yeah.

1:19:05 Murph: Okay, so 4d8. 9, 16 damage.

1:19:13 Ally: Nice.

1:19:14 Brennan: 16 damage?

1:19:14 Murph: Yeah.

1:19:15 Brennan: You, pew. [magical explosion] Blast, he's fuckin' dead. Little homie.

1:19:17 Murph: Nice.

1:19:18 Ally: Nice. Fuck yeah.

1:19:21 Lou: Wasn't that the little homie?

1:19:21 Brennan: Little homie's gone! He's like,

1:19:22 Pixie: Oh, [Italian-esque swearing]— Aah! [Brennan imitates explosion]

1:19:27 Kugrash: Go to hell!

1:19:30 Brennan: That's Kugrash, that's your first—

1:19:32 Kugrash: That's for Sondheim, you son of a bitch! He made my son's second favorite movie, The Lion King!

1:19:37 Sondheim: I had nothing to do with that, again, I need to be very clear.

1:19:40 Kugrash: Modest, you're modest!

1:19:43 Brennan: Cool! You blast that pixie back. That's now going to be… Titania. [deep, ominous music]

1:19:54 Brennan: Ooh baby.

1:19:56 Siobhan: This, did your spells already give advantage to the person attacking, or disadvantage to her?

1:20:01 Lou: Person attacking gets advantage.

1:20:02 Siobhan: Okay.

1:20:05 Lou: I wish I could have done more.

1:20:06 Siobhan: No, you did great.

1:20:09 Brennan: Hold on.

1:20:15 Lou: It's amped out here, my heart is racing.

1:20:18 Murph: I rolled concentration on the fire, by the way, and I passed. Even though it doesn't really matter. I don't, the fire's done.

1:20:25 Lou: A big Wall of Fire just holding it down.

1:20:28 Murph: The fire did its job. But it's still there.

1:20:29 Emily: I know, but someone might get thrown into that. Treacherous terrain.

1:20:33 Murph: Yeah, if you want, throw somebody in the fire. It's still there. Something's happening.

1:20:36 Siobhan: Yeah, so he's doing a lot of math and lines.

1:20:39 Murph: Don't worry though, Stephen Sondheim is okay.

1:20:40 Zac: I don't know.

1:20:41 Lou: As long as Sondheim is alive. Sondheim's alive!

1:20:46 Brennan: Um… Yeah. Titania moves back all the way, yeah, all the way back here, in fact, you know what? She's actually going to take a little trip up.

1:20:59 Lou: My girl. Everybody's flying today.

1:21:02 Brennan: Faeries! [laughs]

1:21:05 Zac: Yay! [whistling wind]

1:21:08 Lou: That's high.

1:21:10 Siobhan: Spectacular! Spectacular.

1:21:14 Brennan: You guys see, I'm going to need Kingston, Pete, Ricky, Sofia, and Misty to all make Constitution saving throws. She's actually got to, she's got to pass a Wisdom saving throw to be able to hurt Misty 'cause of Sanctuary.

1:21:38 Zac: Should we wait for that, or—

1:21:39 Brennan: Yeah, wait for that.

1:21:41 Zac: Wait, unless it's a, is it, it doesn't matter if it's an area of effect spell?

1:21:46 Brennan: Area of effect would prevent her from casting it to hurt Misty, but unfortunately she passes her saving throw.

1:21:50 Zac: Oh okay, yeah.

1:21:51 Brennan: She bypasses Sanctuary, I don't know if you guys have any other piecey, creepy things you want to tell me about right now. But otherwise, I'm going to need a Constitution saving throw from again, Ricky, Misty, Sofia, Kingston and--

1:22:05 Ally: Wait, if she couldn't pass, if she couldn't cast it on Misty, would the whole thing be… Canceled?

1:22:13 Brennan: Potentially yes.

1:22:14 Ally: Okay, then I'll do a Bend Luck and spend two sorcery points. Or is it, yeah.

1:22:19 Brennan: As your reaction? Cool, go for it.

1:22:21 Ally: So 1d4 to subtract from hers. 1.

1:22:25 Siobhan: Okay, and then I will do my Cutting Words on—

1:22:27 Brennan: You've already used your reaction this turn, you haven't gone yet.

1:22:30 Siobhan: I did? God, these turns are so long!

1:22:32 Emily: Doesn't 18 pass, 'cause I also have Bardic Inspiration I can add to it.

1:22:36 Brennan: Well, tell me whether you want to use it or not.

1:22:39 Lou: 18.

1:22:40 Siobhan: I got 25.

1:22:41 Zac: Is it Constitution?

1:22:42 Brennan: Constitution saving throw.

1:22:43 Siobhan: We get 3 from—

1:22:44 Emily: Oh wait, no, it's more than--

1:22:44 Zac: You get 3 from me.

1:22:45 Emily: Yeah, I get 3 from you, so actually it's 21, I'm gonna sit pretty, I think 21's gonna pass.

1:22:50 Siobhan: Yeah, 25.

1:22:51 Brennan: 21, 18.

1:22:53 Zac: A saving throw from enchantment or possession?

1:22:55 Brennan: No, Constitution.

1:22:56 Zac: Do I add plus 3 to myself?

1:22:57 Brennan: Yes you do.

1:22:58 Zac: Okay, so then I got a 27.

1:23:00 Brennan: Cool.

1:23:01 Ally: All right. Fuck it. 19, okay.

1:23:04 Brennan: 19, okay.

1:23:05 Siobhan: More than that, 'cause it's—

1:23:06 Murph: 22, plus your, was it Con?

1:23:09 Brennan: Cool.

1:23:09 Murph: 24.

1:23:10 Brennan: And actually Kug? I'm going to include you in that, I need a Constitution throw from you as well.

1:23:12 Murph: Fuck!

1:23:14 Lou: What are you even doing, dude? If Kug's involved.

1:23:16 Murph: Yeah, I'm so far back!

1:23:17 Siobhan: What the fuck are you even doing, dude?

1:23:19 Murph: Get out of here, man.

1:23:19 Emily: I wonder if it's some kind of mind trickery.

1:23:21 Murph: Fuckin' sick, dude.

1:23:22 Brennan: I'm not sick.

1:23:23 Emily: No, it's Constitution.

1:23:25 Murph: You're sick, I got a fuckin' 8. You're sick! [Ally laugh]

1:23:30 Lou: You're sick, dude.

1:23:31 Brennan: Okay, your Constitution was 8?

1:23:32 Murph: 8, think about it! Think about how you're sick.

1:23:35 Siobhan: Think about it.

1:23:36 Murph: Come on!

1:23:36 Siobhan: Go to bed tonight and think about it.

1:23:37 Lou: Do you feel bad enough to take this back?

1:23:38 Siobhan: Stay up all night.

1:23:39 Ally: Do I have to Wild Magic?

1:23:40 Murph: Why are you doing this, you gotta ask yourself right now!

1:23:41 Siobhan: Jesus christ.

1:23:42 Lou: Dude, he just needs the d4s. Don't even trip right now!

1:23:44 Emily: Yeah, he's looking for d4s! Brennan, holding a good-sized handful of d6s, adds a few more to his hand, grinning smugly.

1:23:45 Lou: Oh wow, he's holding up the d6s so we can see!

1:23:47 Murph: He’s looking for coins.

1:23:48 Ally: Yeah, he's not using-- You're sick!

1:23:50 Lou: How many is that?

1:23:51 Siobhan: You’re a fucking maniac.

1:23:52 Zac: You're fuckin' sick, man!

1:23:55 Siobhan: Honestly, see somebody dude.

1:23:56 Lou: Stop this guy!

1:23:57 Siobhan: Get some help, get some help.

1:23:57 Murph: And not in the good way. Brennan picks up even more d6’s, very daintily. Looking directly into the camera, he wiggles his fingers and grins unrepentantly.

1:23:57 Zac: Just listen to us, you sick fuck.

1:23:58 Lou: Somebody stop him! Where’s the director? Brennan looks down at his handful of dice and puts a finger on his lips, pretending to consider them.

1:23:59 Zac: Stop it! Stop it!

1:24:01 Murph: Edit it out.

1:24:02 Lou: Somebody call Wizards of the Coast! This is not—

1:24:05 Emily: It's not tabletop, if he drops the dice, we won't take damage!

1:24:08 Lou: What weird homebrew bullshit is this, you fuck? Fuckin' Reddit's gonna eat your ass about this, you know that?

1:24:14 Ally: Yeah, you're gonna love it.

1:24:16 Siobhan: Your whole ass, cheeks and all.

1:24:17 Lou: Your whole fuckin' ass, you little bitch!

1:24:20 Murph: We're all gonna eat your ass, Brennan!

1:24:21 Siobhan: We’re gonna eat your ass, Brennan!

1:24:22 Lou: You're never gonna shit again, you fuck! During these ass-related comments, Brennan has been counting damage, up to a value past 40.

1:24:25 Brennan: Okay! [cast laughs]

1:24:29 Lou: You're never gonna fuckin' sit down again.

1:24:32 Brennan: The Lady Titania goes,

1:24:35 Titania: Enough! I have seen enough!

1:24:41 Brennan: Boom! [explosion] Everyone that made their save—

1:24:46 Emily: Which was who?

1:24:47 Brennan: Which was one, two, three, four, five. [This is everyone except Murph.] Everyone who made their save takes 24 points of radiant damage.

1:24:56 Emily: Hellish Rebuke, she did damage to me!

1:24:58 Brennan: Give her the Hellish Rebuke.

1:25:00 Emily: Okay.

1:25:00 Zac: 24?

1:25:01 Brennan: Kugrash, you take 48 points of damage.

1:25:03 Murph: Good! I'm so close to dead.

1:25:05 Lou: What the f— Can I make an Insight check as to what the hell happened?

1:25:07 Emily: I literally just rolled two 10s, that's 20 fire damage to her.

1:25:11 Brennan: Jesus.

1:25:11 Emily: Well, I think she also, she does get a Dexterity saving throw. But she'll take half that. [Murph groans]

1:25:18 Brennan: Okay. [fire whooshing] She's looking fucked up. [Emily laughs smugly]

1:25:23 Zac: What kind of saves, do we have to do our concentration saves?

1:25:28 Brennan: Also Kugrash, you take the damage and you are blinded. She's,

1:25:31 Titania: [arms wide] I am Queen of the Seelie Fae! All of this must stop at once!

1:25:38 Ally: Fuck. [explosion]

1:25:40 Emily: She doesn't even have line of sight on you, right? Does it matter?

1:25:43 Siobhan: Yeah, she's—

1:25:44 Brennan: She's, it doesn't need line of sight. She's, this is a 60 foot radius. She's putting the center point of this in the wall, basically.

1:25:53 Siobhan: Cool.

1:25:55 Brennan: She actually obliterates her own soldier, he's dead.

1:26:00 Lou: What's the DC for succeeding for holding on to your concentration spell?

1:26:05 Brennan: Yeah, I'm gonna need some DCs.

1:26:06 Murph: I'm done, yeah, my fire's, I mean—

1:26:08 Brennan: Your fire's toast? Go see, yeah.

1:26:10 Murph: Half of 50, yeah, it's gone.

1:26:12 Lou: So half of 24, so 12?

1:26:14 Brennan: So half of 24 is 12, yeah.

1:26:15 Lou: 12 plus what? What am I adding to the roll?

1:26:19 Brennan: Constitution.

1:26:21 Zac: Plus 3 if you're—

1:26:22 Lou: I'm not close, but I'm good. [whooshing]

1:26:25 Zac: Okay, 7, yeah, I passed.

1:26:28 Brennan: You passed? Cool. How's that Erupting Earth doing?

1:26:31 Ally: Oh, I haven't, I didn't roll for that, sorry.

1:26:35 Brennan: That's not gonna—

1:26:36 Ally: Not good, yeah.

1:26:37 Brennan: Bum-bum-bum.

1:26:39 Siobhan: Let me get this--

1:26:40 Brennan: And then Hypnotic Pattern's gone as well?

1:26:41 Siobhan: Oh no, Hypnotic Pattern is still there.

1:26:43 Brennan: Oh cool!

1:26:44 Siobhan: Yeah, I got an, I rolled, I have like a 26.

1:26:47 Brennan: Dope.

1:26:48 Siobhan: A 27. [somber, discordant ambience]

1:26:49 Brennan: Incredible. You guys see, however, that Em is down.

1:26:55 Siobhan: Oh no! Oh my God.

1:26:57 Brennan: Wally is down.

1:26:59 Siobhan: [gasps] Wally!

1:27:00 Murph: Oh my God.

1:27:01 Emily: Oh my God. Murph is rubbing his brow again, concerned.

1:27:02 Brennan: Alissa's down. And Esther actually was out of the blast radius. But, huge spell goes off. Pete, that's gonna be you.

1:27:15 Ally: Great. I am going to step forward and say, with the power of the Dream World,

1:27:27 Pete: Fuck off!

1:27:29 Ally: And I am going to cast a higher level Fireball spell on Titania.

1:27:35 Brennan: Okay.

1:27:36 Lou: On which you have advantage.

1:27:38 Ally: Yeah. And now I have advantage. So I do roll—

1:27:40 Brennan: Well, Fireball isn't an attack roll. Fireball is a reflex saving throw.

1:27:45 Murph: It took range, yeah.

1:27:46 Brennan: But she's going to attempt to, it's after her turn, she's going to attempt to Counterspell that again. And I think, let me just double check Counterspell real quick.

1:27:56 Zac: Dude, have we hurt Titania at all?

1:27:58 Siobhan: She would have to do it a fourth level to cancel it immediately.

1:28:00 Emily: Yeah we, I just Hellish Rebuked her.

1:28:03 Brennan: So she's gonna, she's—

1:28:04 Emily: Yeah, you got her.

1:28:04 Murph: Fireball higher level, right?

1:28:05 Ally: Yeah, I'm doing it as a four.

1:28:06 Brennan: She's gonna roll to see if she can Counterspell it. She does not Counterspell it.

1:28:12 Siobhan: Ohh!

1:28:13 Ally: [victoriously] Everyone give me your d6s, please.

1:28:18 Zac: How many do you need?

1:28:19 Ally: I need nine.

1:28:21 Murph: Nice. [claps]

1:28:23 Ally: Hey, Brennan. Hey, Brennan. [briefly mocks Brennan’s dice collecting from earlier]

1:28:27 Siobhan: Yummy yummy, tastes like ass!

1:28:31 Ally: [pointedly] Oh, I still need one more. Huh. Thank you.

1:28:35 Murph: Ass dice. Sure.

1:28:39 Brennan: Oh yeah! [suspenseful music]

1:28:41 Ally: Okay! I got a lot of ones, honey!

1:28:45 Lou: Honey!

1:28:47 Ally: Honey! That's...20...30.

1:28:56 Brennan: 30.

1:28:57 Ally: 30 points of damage.

1:28:57 Brennan: Hell yeah.

1:28:58 Lou: The exact same amount I rolled yesterday.

1:28:59 Ally: Really?

1:29:01 Lou: With 9d6s, I also rolled-- [explosion]

1:29:04 Brennan: A fucking colossal, so the people have seen this sun born into space, and now a roiling ball of fire, everyone's like, ooh, ahh! Titania looks hurt. She looks hurt.

1:29:16 Ally: I wish I'd critted. Oh, you can't on that.

1:29:20 Brennan: That's going to be—

1:29:23 Siobhan: Just all sixes is a crit.

1:29:24 Ally: Yeah, aw, that would have felt so—

1:29:27 Emily: You got all sixes on that?

1:29:28 Brennan: I'm gonna need Wild Magic from Pete.

1:29:29 Ally: Oh yeah, right. 8.

1:29:34 Siobhan: What are you up to on Wild Magic?

1:29:36 Brennan: Now it's gonna be on a four. Four or lower. These mobsters are going to go, these pixie mobsters. They're gonna make some attacks with disadvantage on Misty, that's a miss. That actually is a hit, I'm gonna need a Constitution saving throw.

1:29:54 Zac: Plus 3. Oh wait. Are they shooting a gun at her?

1:29:58 Brennan: Yeah.

1:29:59 Lou: Plus Bless.

1:30:00 Siobhan: Right. Plus 3 points Bless. 12, 15, 17.

1:30:08 Brennan: That's gonna pass. You do however take 7 points of damage.

1:30:12 Siobhan: Okay.

1:30:15 Brennan: What are you at?

1:30:15 Siobhan: I'm at 19.

1:30:17 Emily: How much damage did you take this round?

1:30:18 Siobhan: Quite a lot.

1:30:19 Brennan: This guy's gonna take a shot at Kugrash. And he actually gets advantage, 'cause you're blind. And he misses both times anyway. [bullets pinging] You can hear him firing. That's going to be, that's the mobsters. Misty, that's your turn.

1:30:35 Siobhan: Great.

1:30:36 Brennan: You took 57 damage in the last turn.

1:30:39 Siobhan: Is it statistically possible for me at all?

1:30:42 Brennan: You need, you luckily don't roll with disadvantage, but you need to roll a nat 20 to succeed.

1:30:47 Siobhan: Great.

1:30:47 Lou: She's done it before, she'll do it again!

1:30:49 Ally: Box of Doom!

1:30:50 Emily: I feel it! I feel it!

1:30:51 Brennan: Box of Doom coming out.

1:30:52 Emily: I feel a success in the air.

1:30:53 Brennan: So you actually, you don't need your Blessed dice, 'cause you can only auto-succeed.

1:30:57 Siobhan: Great.

1:30:58 Brennan: You need a nat 20. [suspenseful music]

1:31:04 Siobhan: Gods of the theater, be with me this day.

1:31:07 Ally: Ooh, a 13 and a 14.

1:31:09 Brennan: 13 and 14. That is a failure.

1:31:12 Siobhan: Well!

1:31:13 Emily: Okay.

1:31:15 Siobhan: Okay

1:31:17 Brennan: By the way, I should say. Just like with normal death saves, a nat one is two failures, and a nat 20 is two successes.

1:31:25 Siobhan: Yes.

1:31:25 Ally: Okay.

1:31:26 Brennan: Misty has two failures and one success. Misty, you may take your turn.

1:31:31 Siobhan: I would like to...

1:31:36 Zac: Can you Mage Hand?

1:31:39 Siobhan: I would like to cast Vicious Mockery on Titania, as a bonus action cantrip?

1:31:48 Brennan: Yes, go for it.

1:31:49 Siobhan: Which is a Wisdom saving throw, or take 2d4 psychic damage and then she has disadvantage, oh wait. She already has disadvantage on the next attack.

1:31:58 Lou: No, she, we only have advantage on attacking her.

1:32:00 Siobhan: Okay, so she does not have a disadvantage, yeah. Okay, great. So I would like to do that.

1:32:05 Brennan: Cool.

1:32:05 Siobhan: As my bonus action.

1:32:06 Brennan: She has to make what kind of, she makes a Wisdom saving throw?

1:32:07 Siobhan: It's a Wisdom saving throw.

1:32:11 Brennan: She fails.

1:32:12 Siobhan: Great!

1:32:13 Ally: Great.

1:32:13 Siobhan: So she takes 4 damage. But then has disadvantage on her next attack.

1:32:18 Brennan: Okay.

1:32:19 Siobhan: And then I would like to try and cast Puppet on her again, which is again, a Constitution saving throw.

1:32:25 Brennan: To drop the crown?

1:32:26 Siobhan: To drop the crown and then fly as far as her movement can take her.

1:32:28 Emily: No, no, no, keep her here, keep her here.

1:32:30 Brennan: She succeeds against Puppet.

1:32:32 Siobhan: Fuck! [explosion]

1:32:35 Titania: You wicked little child! You will return home and I will get my shoes back, you bitch! I want those shoes back!

1:32:47 Brennan: Cool, that's your action, bonus action.

1:32:53 Siobhan: Hey, yeah, I mean, there's nothing much else I can do except move and that doesn't seem like there's any point in me doing that. So fuck me, I'm done.

1:33:05 Brennan: Plant your feet. The Seelie do not exist anymore, they're all fuckin' dead. Sofia, that's you.

1:33:10 Emily: Okay. Since I am currently.... have Otherworldly Leap, I'm going to jump up here.

1:33:18 Brennan: Cool.

1:33:19 Emily: And then I'm gonna use a ki point, Step of the Wind, so then jump and attack her.

1:33:24 Brennan: Hold on one second!

1:33:26 Siobhan: Oh my God, some Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon shit.

1:33:28 Emily: I jump as far as I can. And then [pops].

1:33:31 Brennan: I just want to make, 'cause this is the dopest shit in the world. Oh! It lasts a minute, and it's not concentration!

1:33:35 Emily: [very happy about it] Yeah.

1:33:39 Brennan: Holy shit, let me just see what you can do. If you are using Step of the Wind and you have Jump active, your high jump is 24 feet off the ground.

1:33:50 Emily: So I was here.

1:33:52 Brennan: Yep, yeah. You can reach up and grab it.

1:33:55 Murph: Jesus.

1:33:56 Brennan: That is fucking insane. So Step of the Wind also gives you a dash, you're taking a dash action, right?

1:34:00 Emily: Yeah, so just basically, so I can jump up here and then jump and basically grapple with—

1:34:05 Brennan: It is, you can actually make it all the—

1:34:08 Emily: Yeah.

1:34:09 Brennan: That is the craziest shit in the world. Ally points to different spots on the stage as if Sofia is jumping and makes a “zoom” sound.

1:34:12 Emily: I'm gonna grapple her and actually, since I used Step of the Wind, I could still attack.

1:34:16 Brennan: You have your full action. [Emily laughs]

1:34:19 Siobhan: Oh my god. Fuck her up!

1:34:19 Zac: Can you grapple her wings?

1:34:20 Brennan: Hold on, I'm sorry, one sec. Yeah, you, yes, you can choose to grapple with an attack if you want, or you can just make your attacks.

1:34:26 Emily: I'll use one, maybe I'll use one attack. I just want to fuck her up. How fucked up does she look?

1:34:31 Brennan: She looks way worse than she was when she came in. She doesn't look like she's on her last legs, but she looks hurt.

1:34:37 Siobhan: Oh my God—

1:34:38 Zac: Can you grapple her wings? Is she flying?

1:34:41 Emily: Can I use one attack to try to grapple her wings, and then the next attack to just attack her?

1:34:46 Brennan: Yeah, give me a grapple check, so this is gonna be an oppo—

1:34:49 Emily: Will I get an advantage on this, or I wait 'til the attack 'cause of Kingston's thing?

1:34:55 Brennan: Oh yeah, you want to use advantage on your first attack, so do a damage attack, and then we'll do a grapple, right?

1:34:59 Emily: Okay.

1:34:59 Brennan: Cool.

1:35:00 Emily: Cool.

1:35:01 Brennan: So this one gets advantage.

1:35:04 Emily: Okay, does a 17 hit?

1:35:07 Brennan: 17 exactly hits.

1:35:09 Emily: Yeah! I'm not even using my Bardic yet. Okay, so then I go for, hit her for 11.

1:35:16 Brennan: 11 points of damage, Jesus, okay.

1:35:18 Emily: And then I am gonna grapple her. Try and grapple her so that she can't be flying anymore.

1:35:26 Brennan: You're gonna make opposed Athletics?

1:35:28 Emily: Would that even work, or is her magic just levitating her?

1:35:32 Brennan: No, no, she's flying under the power of her wings. Your extra weight, if you like, you're basically wrestling to take her to the ground.

1:35:39 Emily: Yeah.

1:35:40 Brennan: So I'm gonna say that you can effectively grapple her if you beat her score, I'll say that if you beat, let's actually do this. Let's do a Box of Doom roll, 'cause we got the Box of Doom going.

1:35:48 Siobhan: Great.

1:35:49 Brennan: If you beat her roll, you grapple her. If you beat her by five or more, you begin to take her down to the ground.

1:35:54 Emily: Okay.

1:35:55 Ally: Yeah!

1:35:55 Emily: I'm still gonna have another attack on her.

1:35:57 Brennan: This is Athletics.

1:35:58 Emily: Can I also use a ki point for a Stunning Strike for that hit that I did to her?

1:36:02 Brennan: To do Stunning Strike?

1:36:03 Emily: Yeah.

1:36:04 Brennan: Yeah, you can do that.

1:36:05 Emily: So she would get to do a Constitution save.

1:36:06 Brennan: So she does a Constitution save.

1:36:07 Emily: Does she save?

1:36:08 Brennan: She fails.

1:36:09 Emily: So she's stunned!

1:36:10 Brennan: She's stunned.

1:36:11 Emily: So how does that affect this shit?

1:36:13 Zac: So she would just fall.

1:36:13 Emily: So does she just fall?

1:36:15 Brennan: Let's put the Box of Doom away. [Emily laughs]

1:36:18 Siobhan: We made him put the Box of Doom away!

1:36:20 Emily: 'Cause then maybe I could just pound on her!

1:36:25 Brennan: We see, you guys see here, first of all, give me an Acrobatics check with an advantage if you'd be so kind, just for your performance.

1:36:30 Emily: Okay. [clears throat]

1:36:31 Murph: A Staten Island woman just beating the shit out of this—

1:36:32 Emily: That's gonna be a 27!

1:36:34 Murph: Faerie queen.

1:36:35 Brennan: You guys see, Titania goes and looks at the audience and says,

1:36:39 Titania: Fools! Fools, all of you! I, Titania, Queen of the Seelie Fae, command that you kneel!

1:36:49 Brennan: You guys see Sofia, [aggressive cat meows] Leaps! [purrs] Fuckin' like, [heavy footsteps]. Runs right off the catwalk, you see that Esther goes,

1:36:58 Esther: You fuckin' rule, Sofie! You got this!

1:37:02 Sofia: [yelling to Esther] We gotta get coffee sometime!

1:37:04 Esther: I would honestly love that.

1:37:05 Pete: [raising his hand] Hey, me too!

1:37:07 Sofia: Yeah, let's have a big ol' coffee day!

1:37:08 Esther: Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, for sure.

1:37:09 Brennan: You see that you sprint right off the catwalk, Titania goes, [imitates whoosh] you Dragon Ball Z jump into the air, and up at the top, just become like, buh-buh-buh-bum! [impacts] Where you're hitting her in the middle of a jump. Whoop! [impact] A bunch of her teeth fly out of her fuckin' head, her crown skews on her head.

1:37:28 Emily: Could we say for flavor that, instead of Stunning Strike, I take off my weight loss corset trainer and just put it around her so that she, like around her wings—

1:37:35 Brennan: She's bound up, Titania crashes out of the sky with you on top of her, to the ground. You’re each gonna take falling damage. Although you could, you have Slow Fall.

1:37:45 Emily: I got Slow Fall, so it'll be reduced by five times six. So 30.

1:37:52 Brennan: Cool. You take 4 falling damage.

1:37:55 Emily: Okay.

1:37:56 Siobhan: She takes 34 falling damage?

1:37:57 Brennan: No, she doesn't take 34 falling damage. But she is looking fucked up, gang.

1:38:01 Emily: And then I still have an attack and my bonus attack.

1:38:04 Brennan: So you used bonus as Step of the Wind.

1:38:06 Emily: Oh, okay! But I still have my second attack.

1:38:09 Brennan: No, that was your, oh no, stun! Yeah, you stunned for second attack! It's with advantage so she's stunned.

1:38:11 Murph: Yah, you never grappeled.

1:38:12 Emily: Yah bitch.

1:38:13 Zac: Grab that crown!

1:38:15 Siobhan: Fuck.

1:38:16 Emily: Okay, it's with advantage. And then 12 plus 8, 20's gonna hit. And I'mma fuck her up for [laughs smugly] 13!

1:38:28 Ally: Nice. [impact noises as Emily pretends to punch Titania]

1:38:31 Brennan: Incredible.

1:38:33 Emily: Can we say I'm straddled over her?

1:38:37 Brennan: Amazing.

1:38:38 Ally: That guy in the back row's like, “What the fuck!”

1:38:42 Brennan: Yeah, you see that guy in the back row is like,

1:38:43 Audience: Woo! Kung fu Shakespeare! This rules!

1:38:48 Brennan: Perry LaFev is like,

1:38:48 Perry: I'm going to strangle somebody!

1:38:51 Emily: And then I think I'm high on the performance, so I turn to the audience again and I say,

1:38:55 Sofia: I may be little, but I am fierce!

1:38:57 Brennan: Standing ovation, Woo! [applause] Everyone's clapping,

1:39:00 Audience: Yeah! It's a different actress!

1:39:05 Brennan: You see incredible martial arts, brings her to the ground. That's going to be, you see that Confetti wheels over—

1:39:18 Siobhan: Does she—

1:39:19 Zac: Is her spell broken if they're—

1:39:21 Brennan: She's gonna roll concentration.

1:39:23 Emily: Oh yah, if she’s stunned.

1:39:24 Murph: Yeah, I'm blinded by her right now, I don't know if that was a concentration spell.

1:39:27 Brennan: No, she holds onto the spell. So you're still blinded, she holds onto the spell on them. And Confetti moves down, he's gonna make an attack on Sofia. Hits. Sofia—

1:39:41 Emily: I'm gonna Hellish Rebuke him again, 'cause I have [wiggling her shoulders] two spell slots now.

1:39:44 Brennan: Go for it. [suspenseful music]

1:39:50 Emily: He'll take 10 damage unless he does a Dexterity saving throw, in which case he'll take 5.

1:39:59 Brennan: He does take 10 damage. I'm gonna need you to make a Constitution saving throw, though.

1:40:04 Emily: Okay. [suspenseful music]

1:40:09 Emily: It's good. Do you want me to do the math? It’s really good.

1:40:11 Brennan: No, I don't want you to do the math. You see Confetti drops down to you and says,

1:40:15 Don Confetti: Bicicleta, you have acted outside of the interests of the family. This curtain's for you.

1:40:20 Brennan: Takes a silvery strand of garrote wire, loops it over your neck, hoists you up, you get your thumbs in just in time, but he does hoist you about 15 feet into the air.

1:40:32 Emily: I say,

1:40:32 Sofia: [strained] It's actually still Lee, I went back to Lee!

1:40:37 Don Confetti: My apologies. Your marriage is a beautiful sacrament, and you will die a married woman.

1:40:44 Brennan: Cool, you are up in the air with Don Confetti now.

1:40:47 Emily: Okay.

1:40:49 Brennan: That's going to be… Buh-buh-buh, that's gonna be—

1:40:54 Emily: Just so everyone knows, she's stunned right now, so I think you'll all get advantages on attacks against her.

1:41:02 Brennan: Stephen Sondheim leaps up and makes an unarmed attack on the pixie and punches him in the back of the head. [impact] He's not down.

1:41:09 Lou: What a wild—

1:41:10 Brennan: He's just,

1:41:10 Sondheim: The theater is my home, and I won't be fucked with here.

1:41:15 Emily: I hope Bernadette Peters comes in and saves us.

1:41:18 Ally: Oh my God, I would die!

1:41:20 Brennan: Ricky, that's you, baby.

1:41:22 Zac: Ricky's gonna run for Titania.

1:41:25 Brennan: Okay. Yeah, you close distance.

1:41:29 Zac: And...

1:41:32 Siobhan: Where is her head in relationship to his dick?

1:41:35 Brennan: I mean, she's got a clear taint shot, for sure.

1:41:44 Zac: I'm trying to decide if I want to rip the crown off and throw it to Misty. Yeah. I think I'm gonna do that.

1:41:50 Brennan: Hell yeah, she's stunned, so if that's your action, yeah, I don't think Ricky would chop someone's head off as they're stunned on the ground.

1:41:55 Zac: Yeah, it feels wrong.

1:41:56 Brennan: But yeah, you rip the crown off, and throw it—

1:42:00 Ricky: To the true queen, Titania!

1:42:03 Brennan: And you see the whole line, go ahead and make me a Performance with advantage there, or yeah, an Athletics, no you are speaking, so this is gonna be Performance, but you do have advantage.

1:42:10 Zac: Okay.

1:42:11 Brennan: And you can add Bless to this.

1:42:11 Zac: Okay, great.

1:42:14 Murph: Do good! Do good!

1:42:16 Lou: Do good.

1:42:18 Zac: Okay, a 19 plus 4, plus whatever my—

1:42:22 Brennan: Charisma.

1:42:24 Zac: 3. So that's a 26.

1:42:26 Brennan: [laughs] You turn completely naked, your dick out in front of everybody, you're holding this ax, you hurl the crown. And as you say, [whooshing] you know, This is the true Queen of the Fae, the whole audience goes,

1:42:39 Audience: Oh, that's what's going on!

1:42:43 Brennan: And you see the critic goes,

1:42:45 Dupree St. Croix: Extremely risky, and I applaud it. [pen clicks]

1:42:49 Brennan: Takes a note. Incredible. That's going, so that's Ricky, So, yeah, Sofia, Ricky, what a turn. There's gonna be some death saving throws from our allies.

1:43:03 Murph: Oh my God! [suspenseful music]

1:43:05 Zac: Has Kingston gone again?

1:43:06 Lou: No, I'm first up.

1:43:07 Emily: You're next.

1:43:08 Lou: Yep.

1:43:10 Brennan: And then other allies, other allies. I'm trying to think if there's anybody, Wally's down. They're all down. Okay.

1:43:21 Emily: She stays stunned. Then she won't be able to hurt Misty.

1:43:26 Brennan: That's going to then be, yeah, those are the allies. No, Esther's still up. Esther is going to cast… Whoa! See, Esther yells at you, Sofie, and says,

1:43:39 Esther: Got your back!

1:43:41 Brennan: [explosion] And you see that Confetti freezes in midair and falls to the ground again.

1:43:45 Sofia: Oh my God, yeah girl!

1:43:47 Brennan: He's under the effect of a Hold Person spell.

1:43:50 Zac: Nice.

1:43:51 Sofia: We are gonna have to do more than coffee, let's get drinks.

1:43:57 Brennan: That's Esther's turn. Then it's gonna be Kingston.

1:44:00 Lou: Fourth level Mass Healing word.

1:44:04 Emily: Ooh.

1:44:05 Lou: So we'll do 2d4. 5 plus what? What do I add to it?

1:44:13 Brennan: Plus your Wisdom, so 10.

1:44:14 Lou: Yeah, so 10. So 10 will go. My girl, we'll go Em, we'll go Wally.

1:44:22 Emily: Oh?

1:44:23 Lou: We'll go this man. We'll go this woman.

1:44:25 Ally: Kugrash really needs it

1:44:27 Murph: Yeah, I’m at...

1:44:28 Brennan: That's five. So you're using five?

1:44:30 Lou: That's five.

1:44:30 Murph: I'm at five.

1:44:31 Lou: And then one for Kug.

1:44:33 Brennan: Cool.

1:44:35 Murph: Thank you.

1:44:36 Brennan: Incredible. Whoom!

1:44:40 Lou: And then I'll hit, can I, how far is, what is—

1:44:43 Brennan: Cantrip?

1:44:46 Lou: 60 feet, how far is 60 feet?

1:44:48 Brennan: 60 feet is here. That's 60.

1:44:51 Lou: That's 60? Can I hit Titania?

1:44:53 Brennan: You can absolutely hit Titania.

1:44:54 Lou: Yeah, I'll hit Titania.

1:44:55 Brennan: She's stunned, you get advantage.

1:44:56 Lou: She makes Dex saving throws.

1:44:58 Brennan: She needs a Dex saving throw? Cool. She gets disadvantage, or no, she has advantage normally, so she just rolls one die. She succeeds.

1:45:04 Lou: Great. So no, sorry. Yeah, the target must succeed on a Dexterity, with, oh, she's good.

1:45:11 Brennan: She's good, cool.

1:45:12 Lou: I just shoot her. [magical shot]

1:45:13 Brennan: Okay, right across the stage.

1:45:14 Emily: Good for the show, though.

1:45:15 Lou: Yeah. [Emily laughs]

1:45:17 Brennan: Kugrash, that's you, baby.

1:45:18 Lou: She's been finding a lot of weird pyrotechnics that just shoot across the stage.

1:45:21 Murph: If I Wild Shape, do I lose my blindness?

1:45:24 Brennan: I don't think so.

1:45:26 Murph: Okay.

1:45:27 Siobhan: What if you Wild Shape into something...

1:45:27 Zac: You'll gain other senses.

1:45:29 Siobhan: Yeah, that's really good.

1:45:30 Brennan: Yeah, actually, if you change into something with scent, then you don't need sight to attack. So you wouldn't have disadvantage on an attack roll.

1:45:36 Ally: Dogs.

1:45:37 Murph: Interesting. I do have a bear that has—

1:45:38 Ally: Oh yeah!

1:45:39 Murph: Cool, I'll become a brown bear. Keen smell, bear has advantage on checks that rely on smell.

1:45:44 Lou: That bear's gotta get on stage.

1:45:46 Emily: Yeah, I was gonna say!

1:45:47 Siobhan: So Shakespearean, I mean, look. It's A Winter's Tale and not it's A Midsummer Night's Dream, but—

1:45:51 Brennan: Your turn into a bear, to bear exits. You are the Shakespearean bear. Cool, you're a bear.

1:45:59 Murph: Sweet. I can't, so that was an action. So you know what? Can I, I'll use a bonus action, Healing Word on myself.

1:46:06 Brennan: Cool.

1:46:06 Murph: Before I, how's Wally looking?

1:46:08 Brennan: Wally's looking okay, he's badly hurt. But Kingston has healed him.

1:46:12 Murph: Ah, I gotta heal my boy Wally. I'll heal my boy Wally.

1:46:14 Brennan: Cool.

1:46:15 Murph: Before I do it. That's 8 to Wally.

1:46:18 Brennan: Cool.

1:46:21 Murph: And then I'll turn into a Bear.

1:46:22 Brennan: Cool, you turn into a bear.

1:46:23 Murph: Hell yeah, I get bear hit points. So I'm fine.

1:46:25 Brennan: Do you take movement?

1:46:26 Murph: I'll run up to that pixie. [Brennan makes a bear roaring noise]

1:46:30 Murph: Just so he doesn't shoot anybody else.

1:46:32 Brennan: Rad, you charge him. That's Kugrash. Titania finishes being stunned.

1:46:38 Emily: No, on my turn.

1:46:39 Brennan: Oh, she finishes it on your turn.

1:46:40 Emily: Yeah.

1:46:41 Brennan: Gotcha. So she's just still there.

1:46:44 Emily: Do I see in her eyes that she wants to move, but she can't move?

1:46:47 Brennan: Yes, you do see that.

1:46:48 Emily: I fucking smile and I love it. [Brennan laughs]

1:46:51 Emily: I slurp some of her blood off my chin.

1:46:54 Brennan: Hell yeah, Pete, that's you.

1:46:57 Ally: Great. Okay. I am going to just keep Fireballing, man.

1:47:02 Brennan: Hell yeah.

1:47:03 Ally: This time just at a third level.

1:47:05 Zac: Just a third.

1:47:07 Lou: I'm out here Fireballing.

1:47:08 Brennan: Okay.

1:47:09 Ally: Fireball Titania.

1:47:10 Brennan: There's probably no way for you to do that without setting the theater on fire or hitting Ricky.

1:47:16 Ally: Oh, I'm, uh, Careful Spell.

1:47:18 Brennan: Oh hell yeah! Great, you can hit, so you spend a point. Dope. You're gonna hit Titania.

1:47:23 Ally: Yeah, just Titania.

1:47:24 Brennan: You could probably hit Titania and these two pixies if you want.

1:47:26 Ally: Yeah, yeah, great. Yeah, 'cause it's a 20 foot radius.

1:47:29 Brennan: Yeah, for sure you can hit them.

1:47:31 Ally: Great, so they make Dex saving throws and this time, I just roll 8d6s.

1:47:36 Brennan: Dope, go for it.

1:47:37 Ally: I need some d6s please. Thank you.

1:47:39 Lou: My man.

1:47:40 Ally: Two more, one, two, thank you.

1:47:41 Murph: That’s a d8.

1:47:42 Emily: Do you need mine?

1:47:42 Murph: Is this mine?

1:47:43 Lou: Oh, are they d6s?

1:47:44 Murph: Where did your d6 go?

1:47:45 Ally: That's great, I got it.

1:47:46 Murph: Did you give me a green one or is this—

1:47:47 Ally: Wait, I'll take this red one.

1:47:49 Lou: I threw a d6.

1:47:49 Ally: And then I need, yeah, here's one d6.

1:47:51 Emily: Are you just compiling the perfect color palette? [laughs]

1:47:55 Brennan: Go for it.

1:47:57 Ally: Come on, give me some sixes!

1:48:00 Murph: Pretty good.

1:48:01 Ally: Yeah, all right, two sixes.

1:48:02 Lou: My boy did well, my boy gave her six, there you go. That's my boy right there. That's my proud son. Oh yeah.

1:48:08 Emily: Are you, whenever I give someone one of my dice I am like, “What did the purple one do?”

1:48:08 Ally: 26!

1:48:09 Lou: [claps] That's my boy!

1:48:10 Brennan: 26? These pixies only have 13 hit points, so they're toast even if they make their save. [fire whooshing]

1:48:16 Ally: Thank you. These are yours. Ally distributes all their borrowed d6s back out to the cast.

1:48:18 Brennan: Pixies are toast.

1:48:19 Ally: One of these is yours and one is Kingston's.

1:48:20 Lou: Mine.

1:48:21 Murph: Yellow is yours?

1:48:22 Lou: Cool.

1:48:24 Siobhan: Sorry. You’re welcome.

1:48:26 Ally: Great, and then Wild Magic.

1:48:28 Brennan: Yeah, give me that Wild Magic roll.

1:48:30 Ally: 16.

1:48:31 Brennan: And how much did you say you did? You did 26?

1:48:32 Ally: Yeah.

1:48:34 Brennan: Okay, Titania is looking hurt. And you didn't do Wild Magic. Mobsters are gonna go. You see this dude flies away, you do get an attack of opportunity on him as he flies.

1:48:47 Murph: Good. Fuck him up! 24.

1:48:53 Brennan: Yeah, roll bear damage.

1:48:54 Murph: Do I do bite or claws?

1:48:56 Brennan: Claws has opportunity.

1:48:57 Murph: Hell yeah. 8 damage.

1:49:02 Lou: That bear, Kugrash.

1:49:03 Brennan: Wah, just like, badly injured pixie flies away from you.

1:49:07 Emily: I picture him wearing sunglasses.

1:49:08 Brennan: But he does fly up there, all of her little pixies have hit the deck.

1:49:13 Siobhan: There's still this guy up here.

1:49:14 Brennan: That guy up here, yeah. He just flew up, he's gonna take a shot at you, Misty. [Emily gasps]

1:49:19 Zac: But he gets disadvantage, right?

1:49:20 Brennan: Oh, he does get disadvantage.

1:49:21 Emily: Disadvantage!

1:49:22 Siobhan: He gets disadvantage and I get advantage.

1:49:23 Lou: Did he have to make a Wisdom saving throw?

1:49:24 Brennan: And he has to make a Wisdom saving throw. Okay, he succeeds the Wisdom saving throw. Misty, your AC is 14, he does still hit.

1:49:33 Siobhan: What about if I—

1:49:35 Brennan: You can, oh, if you want to use your reaction, do Cutting Words, you can—

1:49:37 Siobhan: Cutting Words.

1:49:37 Zac: Hit 'em with the razzle dazzle.

1:49:38 Siobhan: Great.

1:49:39 Brennan: I'm gonna let you know right now, you're gonna need to roll a five or higher.

1:49:44 Siobhan: That is an 8.

1:49:45 Brennan: Hell yeah! [cheers]

1:49:47 Brennan: You, dah! [explosion] Hit the note, ting! [bullet pinging] The bullet flies off in another direction. That's going to be, Misty, that is your turn. I believe you took no damage this round.

1:49:55 Emily: She took no damage.

1:49:55 Siobhan: Yeah.

1:49:56 Brennan: Took no damage this last round. Let's get this Box of Doom out.

1:49:59 Emily: She's also Blessed.

1:50:00 Siobhan: And I'm Blessed.

1:50:02 Brennan: So all we are looking at, and did anyone fail their Performance checks?

1:50:05 Siobhan: No.

1:50:06 Ally: I didn't have one.

1:50:07 Brennan: No, and no one else is on stage, right?

1:50:08 Emily: I honestly succeeded wildly.

1:50:10 Brennan: You do have to roll a performance check for your cockroach though.

1:50:13 Murph: Oh, I'll dismiss the cockroach if he's not—

1:50:16 Brennan: We'll get rid of him, he's good. Get that cockroach off here, let me get that. Cool. It's just a DC10. The only thing that could happen is you could roll two ones. [suspenseful music]

1:50:30 Siobhan: That is a nat 20. [everyone cheers]

1:50:36 Brennan: Oh my God!

1:50:37 Emily: That means you saved!

1:50:37 Siobhan: That is the most important nat 20 of my goddamn life!

1:50:41 Brennan: Oh my fuckin' God!

1:50:42 Ally: That means you fully won!

1:50:43 Siobhan: [shouts] I'm gonna live forever!

1:50:46 Brennan: Yeah! [laughs] Yeah. You see the band kicks up, you had one success and two failures, with life or death, you hit a nat 20, that's two successes.

1:50:58 Siobhan: I'm fully squelching a high C.

1:51:01 Brennan: Yeah, just, [sings] Give me your hand, if we be friends, and Titania shall, [normal] the crown gleams on your head, [singing] shall restore amends! [explosion] Everyone weeps, everyone screams, they rend their hair, a few people cum, it's incredible.

1:51:11 Emily: [waving her hand] I’m one of them.

1:51:22 Misty: The power of live theater! This is why we need to keep this here! [Emily laughs]

1:51:26 Brennan: My God, the spell is successful!

1:51:29 Emily: Woo!

1:51:30 Siobhan: Can I have my dice back, please?

1:51:31 Brennan: Yes you may, I'll get you your dice back. Wow, a nat fuckin' 20.

1:51:37 Ally: That's crazy.

1:51:39 Brennan: Cool!

1:51:40 Lou: I don't even know what is happening.

1:51:41 Ally: I know, I'm in a fugue state.

1:51:43 Lou: It's crazy.

1:51:44 Siobhan: Oh, there's another one in there, sorry.

1:51:45 Brennan: Is there another one in there?

1:51:46 Siobhan: Yeah.

1:51:47 Brennan: Ooh.

1:51:48 Lou: Brennan lost, and he knows that Reddit's gonna eat his ass, so now he's trying to steal our dice. [Emily laughs]

1:51:53 Siobhan: Yummy yummy.

1:51:54 Zac: You lost.

1:51:54 Siobhan: In my tummy.

1:51:54 Zac: You lost, sir.

1:51:55 Lou: You lost, you stupid--

1:51:56 Brennan: Misty, you still have your full turn.

1:51:58 Siobhan: Great!

1:52:00 Emily: Just use it to dance.

1:52:00 Siobhan: What does the crown do? I'm wearing this crown now.

1:52:03 Brennan: It's just a beautiful, gorgeous crown. You feel that Titania is on, truly at the edge, the brink of death over there. And this is the crown of the Seelies. So... you know. [stately orchestral dancing music]

1:52:16 Siobhan: Great. I would like to… Just because it feels right, cast Irresistible Dance on her. [Brennan laughs]

1:52:27 Siobhan: And so she has to, oh, so it's my Performance check, my Dexterity Performance check versus hers.

1:52:36 Murph: Whoa.

1:52:37 Brennan: Cool.

1:52:38 Emily: And she doesn't—

1:52:39 Siobhan: So that's really high.

1:52:40 Murph: Holy shit.

1:52:41 Siobhan: That is 20 plus Dex.

1:52:46 Brennan: The—

1:52:47 Siobhan: 26.

1:52:48 Brennan: The Queen of the Fae, still stunned, as you dance, cartoonishly wobbles up, her head on a swivel, ta-tap-tap, ta-tap-tap-tap, ta-tap. And begins to buffoonishly dance around the stage.

1:53:03 Siobhan: And then as my bonus action, I'll cast Vicious Mockery again.

1:53:06 Brennan: Go ahead and she rolls. Fails her save.

1:53:10 Siobhan: Great. That's 6 damage.

1:53:13 Brennan: She had 4 hit points left.

1:53:15 Emily: Woo!

1:53:16 Ally: She's down.

1:53:17 Misty: I killed my queen! This is America, we don't have royalty here!

1:53:23 Brennan: In-fucking-credible. Titania is no more.

1:53:30 Ally: Stephen Sondheim thinks he's next to a bear.

1:53:34 Siobhan: Honestly a normal day for Stephen Sondheim.

1:53:36 Zac: Run on stage with Stephen Sondheim. [Ally groans]

1:53:39 Brennan: Sofia, that's gonna be your turn.

1:53:42 Emily: Is there anyone here who needs to, oh Don!

1:53:44 Brennan: Don Confetti.

1:53:45 Emily: I'm gonna fuckin' just attack Don Confetti.

1:53:48 Siobhan: Is Don Confetti now no longer under Titania's spell, right?

1:53:51 Brennan: He is no longer under the spell.

1:53:52 Emily: I'm going to attack him to a point where I can intimidate him.

1:53:57 Brennan: You can beat him unconscious if you want.

1:53:59 Emily: Yeah, I'm gonna beat him unconscious.

1:54:00 Sofia: You guys cool if we take him back to a warehouse and question him?

1:54:01 Misty: Absolutely.

1:54:03 Kingston: I don't love it, but okay.

1:54:04 Misty: That sounds good, to do that.

1:54:04 Brennan: Go ahead and roll your attacks, and then, he's held, so they're all with advantage.

1:54:09 Emily: Oh, he's oh, good, because. Okay, so.

1:54:12 Brennan: That's a hit.

1:54:13 Emily: Okay.

1:54:14 Brennan: Roll again.

1:54:15 Emily: I'll, okay.

1:54:17 Brennan: That's a hit.

1:54:18 Emily: That's a hit.

1:54:19 Brennan: That's a hit.

1:54:20 Emily: I'll Flurry of Blows too. Okay, they're all hits.

1:54:22 Brennan: They’re all hits.

1:54:24 Emily: Okay, so I hit him for...

1:54:26 Brennan: 6.

1:54:28 Emily: Okay, so 6 plus 10, 16.

1:54:30 Zac: He's done, right?

1:54:33 Brennan: 16 and 17, so that's 33.

1:54:35 Murph: Jesus.

1:54:37 Emily: And that's all I think. 33.

1:54:39 Ally: Whoa.

1:54:40 Brennan: Cool.

1:54:41 Ally: That's all.

1:54:42 Brennan: He is messed the fuck up. You are just pounding him [impacts] with some brutal damage into submission. [imitates impacts] Buh-buh-buh. And you see that some people are like, you see pounding, don't quite get it, but the ritual's over so the play doesn't have to make sense anymore. Confetti's turn. At the end of his turn, he breaks out of the, he, yeah, he breaks out, you jump over here. Sondheim looks over at you and says,

1:55:10 Sondheim: Bear, I don't know who you are, let me ride your back, take me to the stage.

1:55:14 Kugrash: I mean, yeah!

1:55:15 Brennan: He jumps on your back, and rides you out, he gives you his movement, basically. And Stephen Sondheim riding a bear, busts through the curtain, and you see he goes,

1:55:27 Sondheim: Magnificent! Magnificent. The greatest Broadway show of all time!

1:55:35 Brennan: And you see that the, both of the glasses lenses of the New York Times critic burst in shock, he goes,

1:55:43 Dupree St. Croix: Aah, heavens! [imitates glass shattering]

1:55:47 Brennan: Ricky, that's you.

1:55:51 Zac: [laughs] I'm just gonna step to the front and say,

1:55:55 Ricky: The play's over!

1:56:01 Brennan: The play's over, yeah! The house lights come up, there's a lot of bodies, the rest of the cast is looking out from backstage. Cool.

1:56:09 Siobhan: I would like to cast Suggestion on the critic just to make sure that he writes us an extra favorable review, which is my, the trick that I always play at the end of every play.

1:56:20 Brennan: Incredible.

1:56:21 Siobhan: Just for safekeeping!

1:56:22 Brennan: Kingston, that's gonna be you.

1:56:23 Lou: Oh, really?

1:56:24 Brennan: Yeah.

1:56:25 Emily: Guys, let's fuck up, let's get Don Confetti unconscious, and then we can question him.

1:56:30 Lou: Oh okay.

1:56:31 Ally: Or do an Insight check to see if there's someone we're not even seeing.

1:56:34 Brennan: The only enemy left is Don Confetti right now.

1:56:35 Ally: Oh, okay.

1:56:36 Lou: Got it.

1:56:37 Brennan: Yeah, Em's gonna go heal you [Misty], by the way. So she rushes over to you.

1:56:39 Siobhan: Oh great.

1:56:41 Lou: Great. I guess I'll, yeah, I mean, I guess I'll, I don't--

1:56:46 Brennan: [whispers to Siobhan] 17.

1:56:48 Lou: Yeah, if that's what it's gonna take to end this, I'll bring, I'll hit Don Confetti with a third level Guiding Bolt.

1:56:55 Brennan: Hell yeah.

1:56:58 Lou: 7 plus 8, which is 13, does that hit?

1:57:03 Emily: 15.

1:57:04 Brennan: 15 does hit, yes, exactly hits.

1:57:07 Lou: Great. Third level Guiding Bolt, that's three, so 6, 10, so 14.

1:57:13 Brennan: Kingston, you raise your hand, see Don Confetti, who's been a thorn in this city’s side for so long. Raise your hand and pew! [magical shot] He drops to the stage. That is going to be Kugrash.

1:57:28 Kugrash: All right, where is that, Sondheim, where's the pixie who attacked you?

1:57:33 Brennan: You see he looks up and says,

1:57:35 Sondheim: The devil you're referring to is up there. [Emily laughs]

1:57:37 Sondheim: The scoundrel in a robe.

1:57:39 Murph: I would like to throw Stephen Sondheim at the pixie. If he's cool with it. With your permission.

1:57:45 Brennan: I want you to do this. I want you to roll an Athletics check with advantage.

1:57:49 Kugrash: [laughs] Okay. Sondheim, talk me through it, I'm blind!

1:57:59 Siobhan: Jesus Christ! You're also Blessed, don't forget you're Blessed.

1:58:01 Murph: [laughs a little hysterically] Okay! I'm so scared right now!

1:58:04 Lou: Don’t you dare kill Stephen Sondheim.

1:58:05 Zac: You have to, you have to throw Stephen Sondheim as a blind bear.

1:58:08 Ally: You have to.

1:58:09 Murph: I simply must. Okay, okay. Athletics as a bear would be strength. So wait, where's my bear, okay. So okay. We got 8, 20. [dramatic music]

1:58:22 Brennan: You, whoom! [whooshing] You see he goes,

1:58:25 Sondheim: The theater!

1:58:29 Brennan: Grabs this catwalk, swings up here.

1:58:33 Zac: He's been hurt for 8, right?

1:58:35 Murph: Yeah, I—

1:58:35 Brennan: He has been hurt for 8.

1:58:36 Murph: The pixie I hit before.

1:58:39 Zac: Didn't he punch him in the back of the head?

1:58:41 Brennan: He did punch him in the back of the head.

1:58:43 Lou: Now he's gonna do it again.

1:58:45 Emily: Come on, Sondheim! Finish him off!

1:58:45 Brennan: Crit. [cheers]

1:58:47 Emily: Sondheim crits!

1:58:49 Lou: Sondheim crit.

1:58:51 Brennan: You see Stephen Sondheim goes up behind the pixie as he's got the gun down, he sees Titania and Don Confetti go down, and goes,

1:58:57 Sondheim: Crime never pays, friend. Whoa, snap! [impacts]

1:59:00 Brennan: And Steven Seagal head snaps this pixie.

1:59:03 Emily: Oh wow.

1:59:04 Brennan: And then gingerly cradles him in his arms, walks over here, grabs one of the ropes and just slides, like zoom, slides down. Walks on to the stage—

1:59:14 Emily: He's just so at home in the theater.

1:59:16 Brennan: He walks out in front of everybody here holding this dead pixie, and you see he goes,

1:59:22 Sondheim: To sleep, perchance to dream. Who knows what drove this creature to this life of crime, or what drove Titania to fight a clone of herself at the end of this play. We ask only this: Know that the answers do not lie here on the stage, but within all of you. Good night, and these gentle players have performed their act courageously, and from a place of truth, then you will bear this light out into the world.

1:59:55 Brennan: Audience, [riotous applause]

2:00:02 Siobhan: Can I, as I'm taking a bow, do an Arcana check on Stephen Sondheim?

2:00:05 Brennan: Yes you can.

2:00:06 Siobhan: Great. It's a 6.

2:00:11 Brennan: 6. What a man.

2:00:12 Siobhan: What a man.

2:00:13 Emily: Can I do one, what if I—

2:00:13 Murph: Creativity's magic.

2:00:14 Emily: I got a 2.

2:00:16 Ally: 17.

2:00:17 Brennan: 17, Stephen Sondheim is some kind of powerful entity at the heart of the city. The audience leaves, you guys turn to look at each other. You see that, yeah. Perry runs out on stage and goes,

2:00:33 Perry: What the fuck was that! You've ruined—

2:00:35 Brennan: And you see Stephen Sondheim caresses his cheek and goes,

2:00:39 Sondheim: No, no, Perry. Let's not question the process. Let's invest in the process. I want to talk to you about this play.

2:00:45 Brennan: Puts his shoulder around, and walks Perry off the stage.

2:00:50 Siobhan: Isn't his name Pierre? Isn't Perry the—

2:00:53 Brennan: Perry LaFev is the—

2:00:55 Siobhan: They're both called Perry?

2:00:56 Brennan: Yeah, both of—

2:00:57 Siobhan: There's two Perrys in the story?

2:00:57 Brennan: There's two Perrys in this.

2:00:58 Emily: Oh my God.

2:00:59 Siobhan: What are the chances.

2:01:01 Ally: But it is Perry in disguise.

2:01:02 Siobhan: Aah.

2:01:03 Emily: That's what I'm saying.

2:01:05 Brennan: That's going, you see Alissa runs out and says,

2:01:08 Alissa: Misty, you were amazing.

2:01:10 Misty: What are you doing on stage right now?

2:01:11 Alissa: I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. It will never happen again.

2:01:13 Emily: Can I do an Insight check on Alissa?

2:01:15 Misty: Jesus Christ, Alissa.

2:01:16 Emily: If she's full of shit?

2:01:17 Brennan: Yeah, go for it.

2:01:18 Ally: Yeah, same.

2:01:19 Emily: I got a 1.

2:01:20 Ally: I got an 18, is she single?

2:01:21 Siobhan: Yeah, I’ll do that.

2:01:22 Brennan: She doesn't appear to be—

2:01:24 Siobhan: I got a 3.

2:01:24 Brennan: She doesn't appear to be full of shit. She appears to be—

2:01:27 Emily: So she didn't knowingly orchestrate all this, although I got a 1.

2:01:30 Brennan: Did not know, you guys are there on stage with Misty, Esther, Em, Wally, the rest of them jump down.

2:01:36 Murph: I'm a blind bear. Can anyone help me?

2:01:39 Lou: I'll walk over and cast—

2:01:40 Kugrash: Can everything resolve itself, how did Stephen Sondheim do?

2:01:42 Sofia: As everybody's talking behind me, I go into the,

2:01:43 Misty: Thank you so much, twice a year, we here on Broadway collect for a great organization called Broadway Cares Equity Fights AIDS.

2:01:53 Sofia: Oh my God. Kug, were you blind when I did my jumps, did you miss both my jumps?

2:02:00 Kugrash: I was behind the stage I think when that happened.

2:02:02 Sofia: Oh my god.

2:02:02 Emily: I re-create it for him as much as I can.

2:02:06 Brennan: You jump around, you re-create it. Some of the magic's gone, but you feel yourself, Misty, you feel vibrantly young. You need to find somewhere private to be soon, because you're about to, you're about to leave this body. You guys see that Misty starts glowing. [ambient music]

2:02:27 Misty: [quickly] So anyway, the members of the chorus will be out in the lobby, collecting, thank you so much for coming, have a wonderful evening.

2:02:34 Sofia: And I run back to my dressing room.

2:02:37 Brennan: You run for your dressing room. You feel the paper husk of your skin start to, [imitates skin crackling], coughing. [imitates coughing] It's a little bit of an uncomfortable process. You rush back to your dressing room. Alissa stands in front of the door to make sure that you have privacy. The rest of you guys are out on stage with an unconscious Don Confetti.

2:02:55 Emily: I turn to Esther and I say,

2:02:57 Sofia: Esther, Don Confetti's got, there's a lot of information inside of him, and I think we can get it out of him, can we bring him to the chantry?

2:03:05 Brennan: [snaps fingers] Whoom! [explosion] She wraps him in chains that are glowing with light, and she says,

2:03:08 Esther: I can take him there right now if you need me to.

2:03:11 Sofia: Yeah, once I wrap it up here, I'll meet you there.

2:03:15 Esther: We'll keep him on ice, I'll see you later tonight.

2:03:16 Sofia: Okay, thank you.

2:03:17 Zac: I look around for some faun legs, costume faun legs to put on over my naked body.

2:03:24 Brennan: You've put on some satyr pants. Incredible. The rest of you guys, you're injured, so you're taking care of yourselves. Misty. You feel holding this crown, you could make a place for yourself here in New York, if you wanted to. But you'd have to wear the crown to do it.

2:03:46 Siobhan: What do you mean, a place for myself?

2:03:49 Brennan: Titania has been slain. You wear her shoes, you hold her crown, and your ritual was a success, even in the face of all this magic. The Seelie and Unseelie courts were founded a long time ago. But it's not impossible to found a court of your own. But that would mean that you'd have to wear the crown.

2:04:14 Misty: I mean, who am I to refuse the crown when it's placed so deftly upon my head?

2:04:21 Brennan: Whoom, the light glows brighter and brighter and brighter.

2:04:24 Alissa: Miss Moore, is everything okay in there?

2:04:27 Misty: Everything's fine, Alissa, just, [coughs] just keep standing out there, please.

2:04:35 Brennan: You begin to change. And with that, we're going to end this session of The Unsleeping City. Tune in next time, guys!

2:04:43 Ally: Aww.

2:04:44 Lou: What's going on! [NEXT EPISODE - Episode 13: Faeries and Feces] [NEXT TIME ON DIMENSION 20]

2:04:47 Brennan: You are, whoom! Sucked into the room in a swirl of light. Whum-whum-whum-whum-whum-whum-whum! You guys are zapped into Nod.

2:04:55 Sofia: Wait, so is this like Misty Moore, my favorite Broadway singer and star just died?

2:05:01 Rowan: To the outside world, yeah.

2:05:02 Pete: What haven't you told us? It feels like it could fill a book.

2:05:06 Aquamarine: May I ask a favor of you in exchange for my service.

2:05:09 Rowan: Oh, a faerie asking a favor.

2:05:12 Kugrash: David's a fuckin' ball buster, I mean. He should be, I ruined his life.

2:05:16 Brennan: You hear a bang-bang-bang on the door as you say that.

2:05:18 Kugrash: Oh god.

2:05:19 Kingston: The city is in danger, Lowell, and I believe you're one of the few people who can help us.

2:05:25 Lowell: I'm waiting for this moment my whole life.

2:05:27 Ally: What the fuck! That's insane!
