Times Squaremageddon

0:00:00 Jackson: They're gonna try to pull it out of the dream realm, the Golden Door.

0:00:03 Sofia: Yeah.

0:00:05 Jackson: This is bad.

0:00:06 Ricky: We need to get everybody that we know in on this.

0:00:08 Brennan: David is…

0:00:10 Murph: Fuck!

0:00:12 Brennan: Bitten on the neck. See Esther looks up, and her eyes start to go silvery milky. [gasps]

0:00:18 Kugrash: I’m sorry, David, I gotta let you down again.

0:00:20 Murph: And I cast the Remove Curse on her.

0:00:23 Babe Ruth: You hold the questing blade. And this blessing is yours, if you’d claim it.

0:00:28 Ricky: I shall claim it.

0:00:29 Sofia: So I guess I just choose myself to be the chosen one?

0:00:32 Brennan: Boom! [explosion]

0:00:35 Anderson and Kathy: Incredible night out here at New Year’s, we’re about to see the ball drop. [people counting down]

0:00:38 Nod: There is a very real chance that the world will change forever tonight. This is as bad as it could be. This is the hour. This is it.

0:00:48 New Yorkers: [slowly] Happy New Year. [magical explosion]

0:00:52 Brennan: At the center of the hurricane’s eye, the Golden Door opens, you see the American Dream begins to emerge. [END RECAP] [intro music]

0:01:11 Brennan: Welcome back, one and all to the climactic battle of The Unsleeping City! Our intrepid heroes, say hi, intrepid heroes.

0:01:23 All: Hi, intrepid heroes.

0:01:26 Brennan: Have found themselves back where it all started in Times Square, New Year's Eve. The ball drops, the time stone, fused with Robert's phylactery, [magical blast] as it hits and shatters, time suspends. The Umbral Arcana, seized and stopped by the sabotage of Robert's vampire minions, [whooshing] flickers and all of those unable to perceive the Unsleeping City are, whoom, whisked away whereas you, [whooshing] are seized in a maelstrom, orange and red and black smoke, the eye of a hurricane stretching up, boom, high above the Golden Door opens, the paragon emerges. You are within the spell powered by the time stone, this matrix of energy and force is both the same and intertwined and beside and behind of the power of Robert's phylactery, as his soul attempts to wrest the power of the paragon. You watch the Dream move to the threshold of the door. Beyond the threshold, the paragon that moves here beyond the Golden Door looks like many things. A flickering dream. Only that which the beholder would make of it. What do all of you see as you look at that dream before it crosses the threshold? Because none of you see the exact same thing.

0:03:20 Lou: This is our version of the American Dream?

0:03:22 Brennan: That's correct. Prosperity, hope, what lies behind the Golden Door.

0:03:28 Siobhan: I see choices, I think that that's the American Dream for Rowan, and for Misty and all of the people that I have been before, is the luxury of choice, of being who you want to be and also changing who you are. [whooshing]

0:03:45 Brennan: Freedom incarnate. All the various lives that you could have lived and will, if you are successful, get to. [whooshing] What does everyone else see? [soft music]

0:03:59 Murph: I think Kugrash sees a… A time, he sees a time when he took his family to a baseball game. And they're all having fun in their family and he's not thinking about material things, but it's like, back in the 80s, and for that moment, he has his thing. [bat clinking]

0:04:27 Brennan: [singing] Ba-da-da-da, ba-da! Charge! [roaring crowd] [soft music]

0:04:34 Brennan: [quietly] What do the rest of you see?

0:04:35 Zac: I think Ricky sees like an immigrant's journey, just like, coming to the United States and having the drive to make a better life for themselves.

0:04:47 Brennan: Statue of Liberty, boat full of people dreaming of a better life. Early Christmas with your mom and dad, who are that story, of people who came here and made something of themselves and the life they made for you and your siblings. [whoosh]

0:05:05 Brennan: [quietly] What else? [soft music]

0:05:07 Emily: Think Sofia sees love, just getting to love who you want, how you want, without other people getting in the way. [whooshing]

0:05:18 Brennan: You almost think you can see Dale moving as the shape of the dream, but many other people too, and the people that they would be free to love. Freedom. Again.

0:05:30 Ally: I think Pete sees the process of his transition and how shocking it was, when a door would close and it would, someone would be like, we don't know what you're talking about, or that's not included in your insurance, people like his doctor that he loves, that's like, oh yeah, I can do that. [laughs]

0:05:52 Brennan: You see transformation, the ability to become who you know you are, and the people who have the courage to help you get there, and you see Lugash moving towards the door, smiling at you.

0:06:04 Pete: Lugash, I wish you were magical, you're so strong! [Emily laughs]

0:06:08 Lugash: [Russian accent] Peter, I am magical.

0:06:10 Pete: What?

0:06:11 Lugash: I don't know, it feel right to say.

0:06:13 Pete: Okay. [laughs] You're a liar, and so am I, so that's why we get along. [laughs] [Emily laughs]

0:06:20 Lou: Kingston sees sacrifice, and, you know, mothers and fathers, toiling, working late hours so that their children and those people's children and their families can have the opportunities to thrive.

0:06:36 Brennan: The Dream hits the threshold, boom. Kingston, the last thing you see are the flickering faces of all the people you have known who have made this a place worth living in. And that breaks [sound of cracking] and fades as it steps through, and must become one thing and one thing only. And you see the tendrils of Robert's spell, and the infection set in. The Dream warps, convulses, has its last moment where it could be anything… And begins to take a solid stationary form. [ominous, discordant music]

0:07:22 Siobhan: Please be Donald Trump, please be Donald Trump. [laughs]

0:07:26 Brennan: You see what had been many different forms becomes humanoid in shape, a beautiful man, tall...

0:07:38 Ally: No, no. How big are the hands? [Siobhan laughs]

0:07:42 Brennan: Quite big.

0:07:43 Ally: Oh, okay. Brennan brings out a mini of the American Dream.

0:07:46 Zac: Is that Stephen Sondheim?

0:07:48 Brennan: No, it's not Stephen Sondheim.

0:07:49 Brennan: Wouldn't that be incredible if he was the villain the whole time?

0:07:52 Murph: Yeah.

0:07:53 Ally: Ooh, that is...

0:07:54 Brennan: No, you guys see a tall, clean cut, square-jawed, blond haired, blue-eyed man, energy...

0:08:06 Siobhan: It's the fucking Protestant work ethic.

0:08:10 Brennan: Appears, hovering in the air above you. [whooshing] This shape and form, [whooshing] appears, floating in the air, and surveys the cracked sidewalks, the debris in New York has been sucked up into this, it's sidewalks and buildings and things, [whooshing] swirling, and fractal imaging collapsing and opening. This Dream appears in a single, solid form. It surveys what it can see of the city, the sidewalks, the subways, the buildings, the billboards, and in a resonant voice goes,

0:08:57 American Dream: [deep, echoing voice] This place is filthy. It stinks here of urine and excrement. Vomit. Decay. This is a wicked place. I would see this changed. [whooshing]

0:09:36 Ally: It's Taxi Driver!

0:09:41 Siobhan: Mr. DeNiro… I'm a huge fan of your work!

0:09:43 Ally: [laughs] It's Robert DeNiro!

0:09:48 Brennan: You guys see that, whoom, energy surrounds the Dream as, [explosions] two pillars of flame appear, [roaring fire] [sound of fire crackling] as well as wind-swept tornadoes full of refuse and garbage. [whooshing]

0:10:07 Ally: Very cool. Very Katamari.

0:10:13 Brennan: The Dream beholds you with neither menace nor cruelty, nor empathy, nor sorrow, nor in fact any recognition of any of your humanity or what role you could play outside of the designs of this being. We are going to start at the top of the initiative order with Kingston.

0:10:42 Lou: Okay. Can I just start with just a, I like, aw, I mean, just a Perception check as to, so the nature of this, are we on an isolated, like...

0:10:55 Brennan: You guys are, without even making a Perception check, these platforms are kind of in the eye, that platform is actively whirling around the outside...

0:11:05 Lou: This?

0:11:06 Brennan: That one, yes.

0:11:07 Lou: Okay. So we're on a, we're...

0:11:09 Brennan: You're in the eye of the fuckin' hurricane, you're on a chunk of building that is, whoosh, swirling around.

0:11:15 Lou: Okay. In terms of our ability to, I don't know, would, is there, there's a potential for us to move from here to here?

0:11:21 Brennan: There is a potential, you're whipping around it, there's a potential to move there. It would require a jump or some other kind of spell or something.

0:11:27 Lou: Okay, got it. Wow. Well, this is terrifying.

0:11:32 Brennan: And you see that the whirlwind surrounding you, so here, the negative space, the sides, all of that, is a whirling vortex of pure spell energy, you see as things go into it, they begin to disintegrate and disappear.

0:11:48 Lou: Great.

0:11:49 Kingston: Hey, nobody touch the hurricane! You will disintegrate! Great.

0:11:57 Lou: Can I check in with Alejandro real quick?

0:12:00 Brennan: Alejandro looks ready, he nods to you, and says to you,

0:12:06 Alejandro: We are inside the spell, at the center of the phylactery right now. I can make us a door to the outside, and get our friends here.

0:12:13 Kingston: Okay. Get on that.

0:12:17 Lou: And then I think I'm gonna cast a, I will cast a fourth, hmm. I will cast… [suspenseful music]

0:12:28 Lou: I will cast a fourth level Bless on Ricky, Sofie, Alejandro, and Pete.

0:12:44 Brennan: Ricky, Sofie, Alejandro, and Pete, gotcha.

0:12:48 Ally: That's it, four, right?

0:12:49 Lou: Yes.

0:12:50 Brennan: That's Kingston, that is your action is to cast that, any movement or anything else?

0:12:57 Lou: At this time, no. I'm not, Kingston, I'm not an athlete.

0:13:03 Brennan: Yeah, I hear that.

0:13:04 Lou: Do I think this 55 year old man's gonna go from one building to another in the middle of a hurricane? Y'all are crazy!

0:13:10 Brennan: Hell yeah. Buh-buh-bum. That's going to be Alejandro.

0:13:18 Lou: I'm so scared.

0:13:20 Ally: Yeah. I'm like, how does this even work?

0:13:21 Zac: Can we fight a tornado?

0:13:23 Lou: [laughs] Exactly. Do we fight the whirlwind?

0:13:26 Murph: We're not just like, these things are gonna beat the fuck out of us if we try to get this dude.

0:13:29 Lou: Do we start shooting the American Dream? [laughs]

0:13:34 Brennan: That's you. Alejandro… Buh-buh-bum. [suspenseful music] Would you place this, Alejandro takes, actually steps in front of Kingston and where Alejandro was standing, he creates a rippling gate of fire. [flaming explosions] You see that Alejandro calls out to all of you, saying,

0:14:03 Alejandro: It is going to take all of my concentration to keep this open! Any of you, call out the names of those you wish to join us, and I can reach through and grab them!

0:14:12 Brennan: Any of you may, as a bonus action on your turn, call out the name of an ally that you have joined in combat before during your time as Champions of New York.

0:14:22 Emily: So they have to be alive?

0:14:24 Brennan: They have to be alive, sadly.

0:14:26 Emily: Would've been dope to see Dale in action. [Brennan laughs]

0:14:30 Brennan: Let's see here.

0:14:37 Siobhan: [whispering] Oh God. [roaring fire]

0:14:44 Murph: Do they got, do they look like air elemental kind of things, or are they...

0:14:47 Brennan: They do not.

0:14:48 Murph: Actual tornadoes...

0:14:49 Brennan: They look like, they do not look like enemies, they just look like spells.

0:14:52 Emily: They are spells personified. [sound of whooshing]

0:14:57 Zac: There's like, I mean there's no value attacking them, maybe?

0:15:01 Ally: Does someone have a Dispel Magic or something?

0:15:06 Brennan: They begin to move towards you. Kugrash, it's gonna be you.

0:15:11 Murph: Sweet. I'm going to use a, I don't think anybody who, I don't think I'm gonna call anybody yet, 'cause last time Wally just almost died. He's not really a fighter. I'm gonna go ahead and use a bonus action, I'm gonna summon the unicorn totem this time.

0:15:32 Brennan: Cool, dope.

0:15:33 Murph: So I summon the unicorn to come help us, in a way that's calling upon an ally. And then Kugrash is gonna cast Dispel Magic on this guy who's close to us.

0:15:50 Brennan: Rad, go ahead and roll your, roll your check for Dispel Magic.

0:15:56 Murph: Okay. Come on now.

0:15:59 Zac: What do you need, do...

0:16:00 Murph: I think it's whatever this, DC is 10 plus the spell level.

0:16:07 Brennan: This is gonna be a DC 15.

0:16:09 Murph: Okay. And I have a plus 5.

0:16:11 Brennan: 10 or higher. [hand slams]

0:16:15 Siobhan: [whispers] Fuck.

0:16:16 Murph: Of course.

0:16:17 Ally: I can...

0:16:18 Siobhan: It was an 8.

0:16:19 Ally: Can we add or subtract, I can do Bend Luck, I'll spend two sorcery points.

0:16:23 Brennan: What did you roll?

0:16:24 Siobhan: An 8.

0:16:24 Murph: An 8.

0:16:25 Brennan: It was an 8, cool.

0:16:26 Ally: 3.

0:16:27 Brennan: 3!

0:16:28 Emily: Woo!

0:16:29 Brennan: Whoom, Kugrash, you reach your hand out, whoom, all your little rat shaman magic, [magical explosion] you snatch the fire away. [whooshing]

0:16:37 Ally: Great.

0:16:38 Emily: Yeah!

0:16:39 Brennan: Go ahead and place the unicorn totem where you'd like it to go.

0:16:40 Siobhan: What does the unicorn totem do?

0:16:41 Murph: The unicorn totem, so any time, we have advantage on ability checks to detect creatures and healing spells that I do restore people equal to my druid level. If you're in the aura.

0:16:53 Emily: Okay, if you're in the aura.

0:16:54 Murph: So if I heal Ricky, it'll heal you guys.

0:16:57 Emily: Okay.

0:16:58 Ally: Oh, that's cool.

0:16:59 Emily: Oh great.

0:17:00 Murph: So I'm gonna put this unicorn kind of in the middle.

0:17:02 Ally: Did you say as an action we can call someone?

0:17:04 Brennan: As a bonus action. You can also do it as an action as well if you'd rather do a bonus action instead.

0:17:09 Ally: Yeah, cool.

0:17:10 Emily: The unicorn totem has advantage on...

0:17:13 Murph: Like, Perception checks to find things, if anybody's hiding. But it's more for the healing thing. And then I would like, are the rats gonna act on my turn?

0:17:19 Brennan: The rats are gonna act on your turn as well.

0:17:20 Murph: Sweet, I would like, [laughs] with everybody's permission, I would like the rats to hitch a ride with some people.

0:17:27 Ally: Sure, yeah. They can get on my back.

0:17:27 Emily: Yeah, cover me in rats!

0:17:29 Murph: Cool. I'm gonna distribute the rats to people who might have an easier time getting over there, I'm out of Wild Shapes. [royal rat music]

0:17:36 Rats: [high-pitched] Finally, the great day of alliance between the rats and the giant folk! Let us into your pockets as we have let you into our hearts! [Emily laughs]

0:17:46 Ricky: Come to me, rats!

0:17:47 Sofia: Get into my bag, I have so many snacks in there.

0:17:47 Ally: My Athletics is actually one, so maybe not me.

0:17:51 Siobhan: I'm just being like Amy Adams in Enchanted, like Disney Princessing with these rats.

0:17:55 Murph: Sweet. I figure you have Misty Step and stuff...

0:17:58 Siobhan: I do.

0:17:59 Brennan: Cool

0:17:59 Murph: One over to Misty, one over to Ricky. I can take one, and we'll send one to...

0:18:03 Emily: Send one to me, I can take the rats and one of you.

0:18:05 Murph: Yeah. And then I guess whoever they attack, the rats'll launch out of their thing and...

0:18:10 Ally: Cool.

0:18:11 Murph: Do a little bite.

0:18:12 Ally: Oh, so they'll ready an attack?

0:18:13 Murph: Yeah, they're gonna, they're ready. [laughs]

0:18:16 Brennan: Any movement or no?

0:18:18 Murph: [whispers] Buh-buh-buh. No, I think I'm gonna hang tight.

0:18:21 Brennan: Cool.

0:18:21 Zac: You should hit this.

0:18:23 Brennan: Awesome, Pete, that's you.

0:18:25 Ally: Okay. What does 150 feet look like?

0:18:30 Brennan: Very long. This is like 80 feet here. [holding a transparent plastic ruler]

0:18:33 Ally: Can I reach?

0:18:34 Brennan: Let's see if you can. So from Pete, where's Pete at? Pete's there? Yeah, so you're there. Yeah, you can for sure.

0:18:43 Ally: Okay. I am going to cast Vitriolic Sphere on whatever that guy is.

0:18:50 Brennan: Hell yeah.

0:18:50 Ally: It's a Dex saving throw, and if you fail, it's 10d4 acid damage, and another 5d4 at the end of your next turn.

0:18:59 Brennan: Copy that. So that's gonna be… [suspenseful music]

0:19:06 Brennan: Buh-buh-bum. Cool. Makes its save, so go ahead and do that 10d4.

0:19:12 Ally: Oh cool. Can I have some d4s, please?

0:19:19 Lou: See how my son does today. [Emily laughs]

0:19:21 Zac: You need more?

0:19:21 Ally: Yeah.

0:19:22 Emily: Do you need more?

0:19:23 Ally: Thank you.

0:19:24 Zac: Take care of my children.

0:19:25 Emily: Do you need my kids in there? [Murph laughs]

0:19:29 Ally: I need one.

0:19:30 Emily: Okay.

0:19:31 Ally: One kid, please. Group effort. Okay, 5, 6, 7,10, 12, 13, 14, 17...

0:19:40 Emily: It's a save, but my kid's kind of overachieving.

0:19:42 Ally: 22.

0:19:43 Lou: Okay, well you know… my kid’s had a rough year. [Emily laughs]

0:19:45 Brennan: Hell yeah.

0:19:46 Ally: 22 points of damage, and then I'm going to use two sorcery points to use Quicken Spell, which allows me to move, use an action as a bonus action.

0:19:57 Brennan: Whoa.

0:19:58 Ally: So I'm also gonna cast Fireball.

0:20:00 Brennan: Whoa!

0:20:00 Emily: Ooh!

0:20:02 Brennan: What's the range on Fireball?

0:20:03 Ally: Fireball is also 150, this is another dex saving throw, and if, and I'm gonna cast it as a fourth level, so if you fail, I do 9d6 damage.

0:20:13 Brennan: And this is a dex saving throw, correct?

0:20:15 Ally: Mm-hmm.

0:20:16 Brennan: Cool. He succeeds. But go ahead and roll damage.

0:20:20 Ally: Cool, can I have some d6s please?

0:20:22 Emily: Let's get my kid in there.

0:20:24 Ally: Thanks. Oh, that's...

0:20:27 Emily: Get that one out the way. [Emily laughs]

0:20:29 Lou: Now this kid, I like this kid a lot.

0:20:32 Zac: Do you need more?

0:20:34 Ally: Yeah, one more. Thank you. Okay.

0:20:40 Lou: You see what he did? He’s a six.

0:20:42 Emily: He’s a six? [gasps]

0:20:44 Ally: Two sixes, 5….

0:20:45 Lou: [blows a kiss to his die] Daddy loves you.

0:20:47 Ally: 10, 22, 25, so half of 25.

0:20:51 Brennan: Half of 25, gotcha. Damn. Boom! [magical burst] You see the Dream flying above you, [explosions] takes both of those hits. Looks down at you and goes,

0:21:07 American Dream: What are you?

0:21:11 Pete: I'm the Vox Fanta! [holds out his knuckle tattoos]

0:21:18 Brennan: It appears to recognize that.

0:21:21 Ally: Can I roll, really quick, can I do an Arcana check to see what all this mirroring is about, if we can move to the other side?

0:21:30 Brennan: Sure, absolutely.

0:21:31 Ally: Great, yeah, that's 23.

0:21:37 Brennan: 23, yeah. Reality's collapsing on itself here, this is just very unstable. You don't think you guys are in danger of having this shit happen to you, but this spell's only gonna go on for another minute before it resolves one way or the other.

0:21:52 Ally: Okay, cool. I'm gonna hop up.

0:21:56 Brennan: Cool.

0:21:57 Ally: A little bit.

0:21:57 Brennan: Dope, go ahead and give me an Athletics check.

0:22:00 Ally: You mean to clear forward? Or to...

0:22:03 Brennan: Are you hopping up on the tilted part?

0:22:05 Ally: Yeah, just on the tilted part.

0:22:06 Brennan: Actually that's just difficult terrain, so go ahead and move however you want to move.

0:22:09 Ally: Cool, I'll just move to wherever he can sit.

0:22:12 Brennan: And also if you want some little tacky so that he can be on the diagonal, here's some stuff to stick to the bottom of Pete's figurine.

0:22:19 Ally: I won't go that far, I'll go midway up.

0:22:23 Siobhan: Like here on this window?

0:22:24 Ally: Sure.

0:22:25 Brennan: Cool.

0:22:26 Ally: Thank you.

0:22:27 Brennan: Dope. Fighting in this weird, twisted dreamscape is very much your cup of tea, you're right at home. I'm going to need everybody to make a Dexterity, and I'm actually gonna need everybody here to make two Dexterity saving throws.

0:22:44 Ally: Is it for possession or enchantment?

0:22:47 Brennan: Sorry, Pete actually only needs to make one Dexterity saving throw.

0:22:50 Siobhan: Does this count as a performance?

0:22:53 Brennan: No it does not.

0:22:54 Emily: Is this a spell?

0:22:55 Brennan: It is not a spell.

0:22:56 Zac: You can add 4 to it, right? 'Cause it's my...

0:22:59 Brennan: The Bless.

0:23:00 Emily: And then...

0:23:01 Zac: Because of my Charisma, my Aura of Protection.

0:23:03 Siobhan: Oh yeah, Aura of Protection, okay, great.

0:23:06 Murph: With Ricky, I get 24 on the first one.

0:23:08 Lou: With Ricky, I don't, I definitely fail.

0:23:12 Siobhan: I get 16 on the first one.

0:23:15 Zac: Oh, plus 4...

0:23:16 Lou: 3, 7.

0:23:17 Brennan: Remember your rolls, I'm gonna go around the table in a second.

0:23:20 Lou: Great.

0:23:22 Brennan: Bada-boom. Brennan picks up and moves the entire party, who is whirling around the American Dream on a piece of building.

0:23:25 Emily: Oh...

0:23:26 Lou: That's what you meant when you said it was moving.

0:23:29 Brennan: And this is going to then tilt. Woop! Everyone falling down.

0:23:35 Lou: Wow!

0:23:36 Brennan: I'm gonna wait one second real quick. Great, thank you. So we're gonna, this moves over here. I'm going to need a, so did anyone get a 17 or below on the first save?

0:23:50 Zac: My first save was a 17.

0:23:52 Brennan: 17, so 17 exactly, gotcha.

0:23:54 Siobhan: Yeah, I got a 16.

0:23:55 Ally: 16.

0:23:55 Brennan: 16, 16.

0:23:56 Lou: 7.

0:23:57 Emily: I got a 32.

0:23:57 Zac: And I got a 20...

0:23:58 Siobhan: I got a 23 on the second.

0:23:59 Brennan: Not, don't tell me the second one right now. So the people that failed that were Misty, Ricky, Kingston, and Pete. You guys, this thing is just whipping through the air, you guys are all flung, except for those who made their first save...

0:24:17 Siobhan: Into the ether?

0:24:18 Brennan: No, no, no. Tilted, for the first thing that happens is you're knocked prone, so that first save is about being knocked prone. So everyone failed that. And then this is actually gonna move, buh-buh-buh. Da-da-dum. Brennan rotates the other pieces of terrain on the map. Everything stands up and rotates easily.

0:24:34 Lou: Goddamn. Goddamn, Rick.

0:24:38 Siobhan: This is amazing.

0:24:40 Lou: What is all of this? What is all of this?

0:24:42 Brennan: Cool.

0:24:43 Lou: Everything be spinning!

0:24:45 Brennan: Okay. That all spins. Cool. So everyone that, that's one, two, three, four, you guys are all knocked prone. Did anyone get a 17 or below on the second save?

0:24:55 Emily: Oh, come on. No.

0:24:58 Murph: 24 again.

0:24:59 Brennan: Cool. Pete's fine. Or yeah, you're knocked prone. And you actually are knocked prone over in this square here. Kingston, you failed both, right? Bada-boom. So Kingston, you actually are going to take… How much did you fail by, what'd you roll?

0:25:18 Lou: Second one was 10.

0:25:19 Brennan: Second one was 10? You take 9 points of falling damage as you are thrown aside. Nobody else failed that second one, right? So prone, prone, Ricky is prone. Sofia, you are standing. Kug, you're standing as well.

0:25:38 Murph: Cool, I think the unicorn probably stays, right? 'Cause it's an aura, so probably...

0:25:43 Brennan: I'm actually okay allowing it to travel on the, if you play, 'cause you're all traveling with it, right? We'll roll for Alejandro.

0:25:51 Lou: He's Blessed.

0:25:52 Brennan: He is Blessed, that is right. Alejandro actually just jumps down over here, keeping his concentration on the portal, he's okay. Go ahead and roll just one time for your rats, man.

0:26:02 Murph: Cool. So I rolled a raw 16, plus zero to dex, so 16.

0:26:12 Brennan: Cool. Whoom, the wind whips around, the whole building, shoom, shunts. You are all flipped over onto the other side. Pete, even though as you're running up, you dip, fall down. Four of you guys are prone, Kingston, you took the hardest fall, smashed into that window there. Alejandro, Kugrash, Sofia, you guys are still on your feet. You see that the Dream up on top of you goes,

0:26:38 American Dream: [gasps] You are trying to destroy me. That doesn't make sense. I can't let myself be destroyed.

0:26:51 Brennan: Boom! Surrounded by golden light, reaches a hand out to you, and is going to attack you.

0:26:59 Ally: Shield.

0:27:00 Brennan: Okay. Bypasses the Shield, still hits. And you take… [whispers] Two, three. Four.

0:27:13 Ally: This isn't Magic Missile, is it?

0:27:15 Brennan: Nope.

0:27:17 Ally: Worth a shot.

0:27:19 Siobhan: Do you have specific immunity to Magic Missile? Ally nods.

0:27:22 Emily: So specific! [laughs] That's so funny, they show you every fight being like...

0:27:30 Siobhan: So many dice just got thrown.

0:27:32 Zac: Volley of Arrows. Would you say that...

0:27:34 Brennan: You take 46 points of damage, as he, boom!

0:27:36 Emily: Ooh!

0:27:41 Brennan: As, [whooshing] this light comes down and destroys you. [magical blast] That's going to be Rowan.

0:27:52 Siobhan: Okay. I'm gonna Misty Step over to the central platform.

0:27:57 Brennan: Okay. You're still prone unless you use movement to get up.

0:28:02 Zac: With unicorn, we don't have advantage on saving throws?

0:28:06 Murph: No.

0:28:06 Zac: Okay, cool.

0:28:10 Siobhan: And then… What I'm gonna do is, I'm going to Message the American Dream. [laughs]

0:28:23 Brennan: Cool.

0:28:24 Siobhan: This is very insane.

0:28:26 Brennan: Cool.

0:28:27 Siobhan: And using my Actor feat, where I can do an impression of anybody that I have met, or heard speak...

0:28:38 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

0:28:38 Siobhan: I'm going to use the voice of the American Dream inside his own head, and say, This is how you came here, but you don't have to be this. I can be anything, because I'm the American Dream. I don't, I can choose a different path.

0:28:59 Brennan: Go ahead and, this is not an act of Deception. Go ahead and, with your Actor feat, roll a Persuasion check.

0:29:09 Siobhan: Persuasion?

0:29:09 Brennan: Mm-hmm. [suspenseful music]

0:29:15 Siobhan: That is a 28.

0:29:17 Brennan: Cool, and you, I believe you are being the American Dream right now, right?

0:29:21 Siobhan: Yes.

0:29:22 Brennan: So you actually do roll with advantage, because of your Actor feat.

0:29:24 Siobhan: Great. I got a 28.

0:29:26 Brennan: 28! [laughs] You see that this appears to, this affects this being here. It is, you're, the spell you are in is pure evil. This thing is inhuman. And it's very clear that this whole matrix is attempting to close in on this, right? So you see it looks at you, you, give me an Insight check.

0:30:01 Siobhan: 23.

0:30:02 Brennan: 23, it looks at you with a cool regard, and all its strange, celestial face gives you is the knowledge that you have been heard. And...

0:30:16 Ally: Do you want to bring anyone through the portal?

0:30:18 Siobhan: I already used my bonus action. Misty Step is a bonus action.

0:30:22 Brennan: And then Message as an action?

0:30:24 Siobhan: And then Message as an action.

0:30:25 Brennan: Gotcha. Cool. That's gonna be Sofia.

0:30:30 Siobhan: Obeying the rules of the game.

0:30:31 Emily: Okay. According to my math...

0:30:35 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

0:30:35 Emily: I think I can leap to him. I want to leap up and backpack around him. I want to cling to him like a backpack.

0:30:43 Siobhan: I'm gonna climb the American Dream? Fuckin' bootstraps, cling to that guy's bootstraps!

0:30:48 Emily: Yeah.

0:30:49 Brennan: Cool.

0:30:50 Emily: With Step of the Wind, just to point it out, my jump is three times from my Louboutins, it's also another three times from Otherworldly Leap, and then Step of the Wind doubles my jump.

0:31:02 Siobhan: Does that mean you're nine times, 'cause it's three times three?

0:31:05 Emily: It means I'm three times three and then another times two, it means I'm 18.

0:31:09 Brennan: Going by this, but with this calculator your high jump is 72 feet off the ground.

0:31:14 Emily: Why is it only 72? My thing is 13 and if you do it by three, that would be 39, times three.

0:31:23 Brennan: I'm going off of a very fancy jump calculator for 5e.

0:31:26 Emily: Do you have a stat wrong for me, maybe?

0:31:29 Brennan: 13 strength, five foot seven inches tall, monk Step of the Wind is active, the spell Jump is active, and the magic item Boots of Striding and Springing is active. Your high jump is 72 feet off the ground, let's just, you might be able to reach...

0:31:41 Emily: Okay.

0:31:42 Brennan: But let's just see if you can. I think it also partially depends where you're jumping from, so...

0:31:48 Zac: Could you just run up the little higher?

0:31:50 Brennan: Yeah actually, where the position is you could theoretically, if you have enough movement, you could take a circuitous route, let's see.

0:31:57 Emily: Okay.

0:31:58 Brennan: So, here's this. 72. [suspenseful music]

0:32:05 Brennan: Yeah. So, the only place you could reach him from would be from right here.

0:32:09 Emily: Okay. I think I can get there, yeah.

0:32:11 Brennan: Cool. Let's count out your movement. That's gonna be, it's five...

0:32:17 Murph: Some rats are coming with her too.

0:32:18 Brennan: Some rats are coming with her too. So it's gonna be...

0:32:21 Emily: Yeah, I'll backpack, and then the rats can climb into him.

0:32:25 Brennan: 5, 10, 15, 20, 30.

0:32:30 Emily: My speed is 45.

0:32:32 Brennan: Yeah, 30. Jump easy. 45, or sorry. 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60. And you're taking Step of the Wind.

0:32:46 Emily: Mm-hmm.

0:32:47 Brennan: So 60, so then it's another so you can, in other words, begin jumping up to clobber him.

0:32:56 Emily: Okay.

0:32:58 Brennan: Or you can make it all the way up to him if you use your action for a move action.

0:33:03 Emily: Oh yeah, I'll do that.

0:33:04 Brennan: Cool.

0:33:05 Emily: Yeah, I wanna burn my action anyways. All I need is my reaction.

0:33:07 Brennan: I will say, 'cause here's the thing. If you want, this is weird how D&D works stuff, if you want to be in mid-jump here and save your action, you could potentially...

0:33:20 Emily: I would like to be within five feet of him.

0:33:23 Brennan: Dope, I can dig it. I was gonna say, if you wanted to use your action to call someone through the portal, you could also do that, 'cause you'll have that action...

0:33:29 Ally: But then you'll be in the air and you don't have to fuck with all these saving throws.

0:33:33 Emily: I want to be within five feet of him so that if he attack, if he casts a spell, I get a reaction attack on him.

0:33:39 Brennan: Cool, dope. You rush up with a bunch of rats. Let's get Sofie Lee...

0:33:47 Emily: But I could be in the air, I don't need to backpack him just yet. Maybe I won't backpack him, because that would...

0:33:52 Brennan: Yeah, you can't. So you can get there with your movement...

0:33:55 Emily: But I want to be within five feet.

0:33:57 Brennan: And then stop.

0:33:57 Siobhan: Amazing. The battle of the car antennas!

0:34:02 Brennan: What is it Gorgug said in Fantasy High, fight me in the sky?

0:34:04 Zac: Fight me in the sky.

0:34:06 Ally: Oh yeah!

0:34:07 Brennan: Aah! Cool.

0:34:09 Ally: The fight you were obsessed with being able to fly and no one would join you?

0:34:13 Brennan: Great.

0:34:14 Ally: Fight me in the sky!

0:34:15 Brennan: And then we've also got some, I'll make a note that we've got some rats joining you there. Awesome, that's Sofia's turn.

0:34:22 Lou: Jesus.

0:34:23 Zac: Anyone calling anyone, no?

0:34:25 Ally: Do you have any actions to call, or...

0:34:27 Emily: No, I used my action to get up there.

0:34:29 Brennan: Buh-buh-bum. [suspenseful music]

0:34:32 Brennan: This thing has a speed of… Cool.

0:34:40 Lou: Oh, the platforms are coming out!

0:34:43 Murph: If anybody has any way to buff up for rolls.

0:34:47 Brennan: You know what, that's a little wobbly. I'm gonna leave that there, but this [one of the trash tornadoes] is on its way up.

0:34:51 Murph: Shit.

0:34:52 Emily: Okay. [wind whistling]

0:34:53 Brennan: And then this one is gonna go, is gonna go straight for Rowan. [wind whistling] I'm gonna need,

0:35:02 Murph: Sorry rats.

0:35:03 Zac: My rats!

0:35:03 Brennan: Your rats! I'm gonna need Rowan and the rats to make...

0:35:11 Emily: Rowan and the rats! That's your band.

0:35:13 Siobhan: Hell yeah. [Emily laughs]

0:35:13 Brennan: To make a Strength saving throw. Ally gets out their phone and takes a picture of the map.

0:35:16 Siobhan: Oh boy. All right.

0:35:17 Murph: Oh, okay. Oh, wait no, I was looking at a reef shark.

0:35:18 Emily: Ally, put your fucking phone away! [laughs]

0:35:20 Ally: It's so gorgeous, Rowan's character is already leaning like this, and the...

0:35:26 Siobhan: 17.

0:35:28 Murph: 15.

0:35:29 Siobhan: 17 and 15, cool. Rowan, the rats are flung here to the edge, they can't go prone. Rowan, you are flung here to the edge of the platform. And you also take, buh-buh-buh. 20 points of bludgeoning damage.

0:35:51 Siobhan: Fuck.

0:35:52 Brennan: As the wind hits you.

0:35:54 Siobhan: I'm already low from our previous fight, so I'm at 34 right now.

0:35:59 Brennan: Whoom!

0:35:59 Lou: How much did you take?

0:36:00 Siobhan: 20 damage.

0:36:02 Brennan: That's going to be… Another spin.

0:36:10 Zac: God.

0:36:11 Siobhan: My hit point max is only 54.

0:36:12 Zac: I haven't even gone. [laughs]

0:36:16 Murph: Fuckin' lair actions.

0:36:18 Siobhan: [whispers] Fuck! [humming] [magical blasting]

0:36:23 Murph: Is that area in the middle more stable?

0:36:26 Brennan: Hm?

0:36:27 Murph: Is that area...

0:36:27 Brennan: Yes, these ones look more stable than this one you guys are on.

0:36:31 Murph: 'Cause we're getting knocked around.

0:36:32 Brennan: You guys are getting knocked around over here pretty hard. This one swivels back over here. I'm gonna once again need two saving throws from everybody who's on this platform over here.

0:36:42 Lou: Goddammit. Oh my God. Dexterity?

0:36:46 Murph: With Ricky...

0:36:47 Brennan: Let me know the first one.

0:36:49 Murph: 17.

0:36:51 Ally: What do we add to it? Dex?

0:36:53 Zac: Yeah.

0:36:54 Brennan: What'd you get, 17?

0:36:55 Murph: 17.

0:36:56 Brennan: Cool, Kug, you're knocked prone.

0:36:57 Murph: Fuck!

0:36:59 Ally: 16.

0:37:00 Zac: 23 for me.

0:37:01 Brennan: 16 for Pete, Pete, you are flung all the way to the very edge right over here. What do...

0:37:07 Lou: 12 and 16.

0:37:08 Brennan: 12 and 16, cool.

0:37:12 Lou: I hate this.

0:37:14 Brennan: You are knocked to the edge, Kingston. Ricky, what did you get.

0:37:16 Zac: I got a 23 as my first roll.

0:37:18 Brennan: You're still prone, but you take no further damage. Which was your second one?

0:37:21 Zac: 19.

0:37:22 Brennan: 19, cool, you're okay. How are these rats faring over here? Roll another save for your rats that are still on the platform.

0:37:28 Murph: Oh, 19.

0:37:30 Brennan: Rats are okay. Kingston, you're gonna take another 6 points of bludgeoning damage. [thudding] And you're just being rocked around in the tornado. Alejandro… Miraculously lands on his feet, spry old guy, fwoom.

0:37:48 Kingston: Making me look bad, Alejandro.

0:37:50 Alejandro: See, this is why I say you need to have some joie de vivre...

0:37:53 Kingston: Gifs, stop, I, gifs are not the difference between, that...

0:37:59 Alejandro: Can I ask you a question?

0:37:59 Kingston: Yes.

0:38:00 Alejandro: Did you talk to Liz?

0:38:02 Kingston: [stammers] I… The man, the fight is on!

0:38:05 Alejandro: Because I see a little, I see a little spring...

0:38:08 Kingston: You need to focus on bringing people through this portal. You have brought...

0:38:11 Alejandro: I am holding the portal open! You guys are not focusing on driving the people through the portal! The portal has been made!

0:38:17 Brennan: You see that, cool.

0:38:19 Ally: Do I have to make a second save, or that was just...

0:38:22 Brennan: You… You do not have to make a second save. I'm also gonna need actually Misty to make a Dexterity saving throw here as well.

0:38:32 Siobhan: Okay. Plus dex, 22.

0:38:38 Brennan: You are not knocked one square outside.

0:38:41 Siobhan: [alarmed] Oy! [whooshing] All right, get to the middle it is!

0:38:47 Emily: Oy!

0:38:47 Brennan: That's going to be, buh-buh-buh, Pete, you cast two spells, right?

0:38:52 Ally: Mm-hmm.

0:38:53 Brennan: I'm gonna need two Wild Magic rolls.

0:38:54 Ally: Oh right. Nat 1.

0:38:58 Siobhan: Hell yeah.

0:38:58 Brennan: Wild. Give me the other one just to see.

0:39:01 Ally: 2. [Siobhan laughs]

0:39:03 Brennan: Wild.

0:39:04 Zac: Is that two?

0:39:05 Siobhan: So you get two Wild...

0:39:06 Ally: No, that's one.

0:39:07 Zac: 'Cause it resets.

0:39:07 Ally: ‘Cause it resets.

0:39:08 Emily: Oh, right. [Emily laughs]

0:39:11 Murph: Yikes!

0:39:12 Ally: Really not rolling well today!

0:39:14 Lou: I already have chills.

0:39:15 Siobhan: I mean, unless…

0:39:15 Lou: This is unreal. This is so dumb.

0:39:19 Ally: While I'm doing this, can I roll an Insight to see why I'm not getting any bludgeoning damage from this dream world? Or an Arcana?

0:39:26 Brennan: Oh! No 'cause, did, you made your second saving throw, didn't you? What was your second saving throw?

0:39:31 Ally: Oh, the first time I didn't have to.

0:39:33 Brennan: Oh, the first time you didn't, 'cause you moved, 'cause it, you moved to the side where you weren't falling. These guys are on the upside and getting flung over to the other side as it tilts wildly.

0:39:42 Ally: Got it.

0:39:43 Brennan: You feel the Wild Magic, [whooshing] force of dreams entering your body. You feel that you have the ability to either, the Wild Magic is, you're like, oh, it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen! It can either go to your eyes or your skin. Something that can either help you maybe perceive some stuff or something that can make you stronger...

0:40:09 Ally: Stronger, absolutely fucking stronger.

0:40:12 Brennan: [claps] Jesus Christ, Pete. You gain resistance to all damage for the next minute.

0:40:19 Murph: Nice.

0:40:20 Brennan: Your skin goes, boom, just chrome, all your skin is fucking chrome, you're like a mirror... [Ally yells]

0:40:27 Ally: [laughs] Cool. [magical burst]

0:40:29 Brennan: Hell yeah.

0:40:31 Ally: Minute in combat is how many turns?

0:40:33 Brennan: 10 rounds.

0:40:34 Ally: That's amazing. Yeah, okay, let's start counting rounds.

0:40:36 Zac: The last fight was five rounds?

0:40:38 Brennan: Five rounds, yeah.

0:40:38 Ally: Cool.

0:40:39 Brennan: Back to the top of the initiative order, Kingston, that's gonna be you.

0:40:43 Zac: Oh, I haven't gone yet.

0:40:45 Brennan: Oh Ricky, I'm sorry. Ricky, that's right, you're last, Ricky. You go on a two. Ricky, that's you.

0:40:52 Zac: There's no way I could have said that I cast Divine Sense before this, right?

0:40:55 Brennan: Sure, you can cast Divine Sense before this.

0:40:57 Zac: Okay. Just wanted to be able to see if I know...

0:41:00 Brennan: That thing is a celestial.

0:41:02 Zac: Okay. Cool.

0:41:04 Emily: Interesting.

0:41:05 Zac: And okay.

0:41:06 Brennan: Doesn't necessarily mean that it's good.

0:41:08 Emily: Right.

0:41:09 Brennan: But it's a celestial.

0:41:10 Zac: Okay.

0:41:11 Emily: But it means that necrotic damage would hurt it. I would assume. Maybe.

0:41:16 Zac: I, [sighs] so it feels like Turn the Unholy won't work 'cause it only works on fiends or undead. Then I will cast Sacred Weapon. [sound of shimmering] And say Esther. Es— [laughs] Why can't I say that word? Esther.

0:41:40 Brennan: [rumbling] So you're over here, you say Esther. Esther, her makeup streaming down her face, tear-streaked face, smiling wide, whipping this silver bat around. Bursts through the portal, lands on top of you, and gets one hand on your ass and fuckin' plants her mouth on your mouth.

0:42:01 Siobhan: Yes!

0:42:02 Esther: I'm so fucking into you, you this fuckin' dumb, hot piece, you're so good, you're so heroic, I fuckin' love you!

0:42:08 Ricky: You're great! I think you’re great!

0:42:08 Esther: You don't even read books, who gives a shit? I read books all the time, I'm miserable!

0:42:11 Ricky: You grabbed my ass pretty hard.

0:42:14 Esther: I want to fuck you!

0:42:16 Brennan: You see...

0:42:16 Ricky: I didn't want to call you here, 'cause it's really dangerous, but I don't know what else to do.

0:42:20 Esther: Let's live a dangerous life together.

0:42:22 Ricky: Okay.

0:42:23 Brennan: You see that she hoists you to your feet, and you cast Sacred Weapon, right?

0:42:27 Zac: Yes, and then I wanted to take my movement to run up to the top of that.

0:42:34 Brennan: Oh, up to this thing here?

0:42:35 Zac: Just to get on this platform.

0:42:36 Brennan: Dope. Let's see, I'm gonna see what your jump is right now. Your Strength...

0:42:39 Zac: I have, yeah, I don't actually have my speed...

0:42:41 Siobhan: And he has Freedom of Movement, so he doesn't have to worry about difficult terrain.

0:42:46 Brennan: Awesome. We still need to see what his high jump is. So since we're not gonna worry about difficult terrain, you can reach up and grab something 16.6 feet off the ground.

0:42:55 Zac: Could I also just...

0:42:57 Brennan: And difficult terrain doesn't, so yeah, Freedom of Movement means this is not, oh yeah! Fuck yeah!

0:43:01 Zac: I can get up there, right?

0:43:02 Brennan: You can just get the fuck up there, cool. So you're going...

0:43:04 Zac: And I got my rats with me.

0:43:05 Brennan: Hell yeah. Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty five, thirty.

0:43:11 Siobhan: Get into the middle of the platform if you can.

0:43:13 Brennan: Well, you've used your action.

0:43:14 Siobhan: Oh, yeah, you’re right.

0:43:14 Brennan: And your bonus, right?

0:43:16 Zac: Yes. And yeah, I guess there's nothing else I can really do.

0:43:22 Brennan: Mm-hmm. Rad. But Esther appears. Cool, Kingston, that's gonna be you.

0:43:32 Zac: Oh, can I tell her,

0:43:35 Ricky: You can yell names too!

0:43:37 Brennan: She goes,

0:43:37 Esther: Got it!

0:43:41 Brennan: Cool.

0:43:42 Emily: Wow, the first thing now that you guys have had your first kiss, the first thing you do...

0:43:45 Zac: I'm overwhelmed!

0:43:47 Brennan: That's going to be, yeah, that's Kingston.

0:43:51 Lou: Great. Okay, I guess I get up and walk away from the edge.

0:43:55 Brennan: So that's fifteen. Five, ten, so you can get to here.

0:44:01 Lou: Great, perfect. And then I yell, I'm now, I wanted to call in Wally so badly.

0:44:11 Kingston: Willy, get your brick butt in here!

0:44:14 Murph: Ah, Willy's good! [Brennan growls]

0:44:17 Brennan: You see Willy, gwoom! Emerges from the portal.

0:44:23 Willy: Kingston Brown!

0:44:24 Brennan: You see that vampire blood is just dripping off of his giant brick fists.

0:44:29 Willy: Good to see you. You caught me at a great time.

0:44:32 Kingston: Oh, well, you caught me at a bad time, I'm falling all over the place. This place is wild.

0:44:40 Willy: What, there's some kind of schmuck make a spell or something?

0:44:44 Kingston: Yeah, that's the American Dream. That's the real, that's the...

0:44:47 Willy: [dismissively] Ehh.

0:44:48 Kingston: Yeah, that's what I thought. He's not that great. Anyway. Let's get to work.

0:44:52 Lou: And then can I cast Dispel Magic on this tornado?

0:44:56 Brennan: Yes you can, go ahead and give me a roll.

0:44:58 Lou: Great.

0:44:59 Murph: Come on!

0:45:02 Lou: I don't think, what is it, it's plus my spell, attack or spell casting?

0:45:08 Brennan: Plus your, just Wisdom modifier.

0:45:10 Lou: Oh, okay. Then yeah, 8. [wind whistling]

0:45:14 Brennan: Cool. That's now, so that's Kingston. Esther is going to go. And one up in front of Willy over here. [sound of footsteps] [grunts] [whooshing] Kind of following Ricky up that hillside. And Esther reaches out and hits you with a Haste spell.

0:45:40 Zac: Tight. [magical blast]

0:45:43 Brennan: That's, and I'll go ahead and give you that. And Esther's actually gonna use her bonus action. She's not gonna call a name. She's instead going to ready a spell for next turn with a bonus action. But I'll go ahead and give you Haste. Boom. That's going to be Alejandro, who's keeping the portal open. But is also gonna go ahead and hit, Kingston's getting knocked around. He's gonna go ahead and hit Kingston with a Protection from Good and Evil.

0:46:21 Lou: Okay. [sound of sparkling]

0:46:23 Brennan: So you have that spell, so that he's casting that on you.

0:46:26 Lou: Great.

0:46:26 Brennan: That's going to be these guys here. [suspenseful music]

0:46:35 Brennan: That's gonna be… [whooshing]

0:46:43 Lou: Wow.

0:46:45 Brennan: This thing lands on top of Pete. Pete, I'm gonna need you to make a Dexterity saving throw.

0:46:53 Ally: Sure.

0:46:55 Murph: [whispering] Fuck.

0:46:57 Ally: 9.

0:47:00 Brennan: Are you close enough to Ricky? Oh, Ricky's gone.

0:47:03 Zac: Yeah, I fuckin'...

0:47:05 Ally: It's gonna really suck to not take any damage!

0:47:08 Emily: Woo! I think you take half, right? Is that what resistance...

0:47:12 Murph: Resistance is half.

0:47:13 Ally: With my thing that I got?

0:47:14 Siobhan: [quietly, to Murph] Can I read your unicorn thing? Do you have the unicorn? Can I read it?

0:47:15 Brennan: Your thing, resistance is half. So all damage is half.

0:47:19 Murph: Oh, I don't have it out. But I have it here. [showing Siobhan his sheet] [Emily laughs]

0:47:21 Ally: Oops. It's interesting, I did hear that wrong. Ahh, hmm. [Emily laughs]

0:47:24 Siobhan: [reading Murph’s unicorn totem description] To detect creatures.

0:47:26 Brennan: 9, 18...

0:47:29 Ally: Interesting.

0:47:29 Murph: [quietly] I might need to cast a spell and end the aura, though.

0:47:30 Brennan: 25. You take 15 points of damage, which would have been 31.

0:47:36 Ally: Great.

0:47:37 Brennan: Whoom,

0:47:37 Ally: Interesting.

0:47:37 Brennan: As this pillar of flame lands on top of you. [whooshing]

0:47:42 Ally: Hmm. I'll take that into consideration.

0:47:45 Brennan: That's gonna be Kugrash.

0:47:47 Murph: Oy. Okay.

0:47:50 Brennan: Oh sorry. Also, as soon as Willy appears, he hits the ground with his feet. Boom! [sound of explosion] Everybody prone stands.

0:47:59 Murph: Oh, great.

0:48:00 Emily: Oh, that's so fun!

0:48:01 Murph: Oh, thanks Willy.

0:48:02 Emily: It must be so fun to get jolted upright.

0:48:03 Siobhan: It's like when you're lying on a trampoline and somebody jumps on it.

0:48:07 Brennan: You see he looks, he goes like,

0:48:09 Willy: What for you all lay around, we in the middle of a fight, try to keep your eye on the ball! [Emily laughs]

0:48:17 Brennan: That's going to be Kug.

0:48:19 Murph: Cool. Dispel Magic has a range of 120 feet, I think I might try to help Misty out here, 'cause I think that there's enough people to help with that one. Cool. Can I try to dispel this guy?

0:48:35 Brennan: Which guy? Oh, this one over here? Yes you can.

0:48:37 Murph: The one that's after Misty. Come on! Come on, please!

0:48:43 Siobhan: Yes!

0:48:44 Murph: [arms up in the air] Yes, 17, a 22. [whooshing]

0:48:48 Brennan: And disappears.

0:48:50 Emily: That's good.

0:48:51 Lou: That's real good.

0:48:52 Emily: That's good.

0:48:55 Murph: And then as a bonus action, I guess I'll call the gnome that has the clock on, what was his name again?

0:49:02 Siobhan: Bilbry?

0:49:03 Brennan: Bilbry? I'm gonna say, just for the purpose of this battle...

0:49:06 Murph: Okay.

0:49:07 Brennan: That unless you've fought with people, unless you have been in a fight with people before, you cannot call them to this battle.

0:49:12 Siobhan: So like Em, Sondheim.

0:49:14 Murph: I'll call Em.

0:49:15 Brennan: Cool. You call out for Em, and, buh-buh-buh-bum, buh-buh, bum.

0:49:20 Ally: Who else have we fought with?

0:49:21 Lou: Stephen Sondheim.

0:49:23 Siobhan: That's all I can remember.

0:49:24 Lou: Pizza Rat.

0:49:25 Siobhan: Pizza Rat? Ooh yeah, Pizza Rat would be great, Nod.

0:49:29 Brennan: Em comes soaring. [whooshing] [heavenly music]

0:49:32 Emily: Ooh!

0:49:33 Brennan: Wings out, Em.

0:49:34 Emily: That's good, she's a flyer, that's so smart!

0:49:39 Siobhan: And she can heal.

0:49:40 Brennan: As soon as Em appears, As soon as Em appears, anyone who is injured. [rolls a die, it drops off the table] Oop! I pulled an Ally, hold on, sorry.

0:49:47 Ally: Oh, that's not an Ally! That’s not an Ally!

0:49:51 Siobhan: Nice, nice. That’s what it's called!

0:49:51 Lou: It’s all the way behind them.

0:49:52 Brennan: Pulling an Ally is specifically when your d4 does not make it to the table.

0:49:56 Ally: All right, actually, yeah.

0:49:57 Emily: And then you eat peanuts off of it. Ally makes a chomping noise.

0:49:58 Brennan: Everybody who's injured regains 7 hit points.

0:50:00 Ally: Yeah!

0:50:01 Brennan: As soon as Em appears. Em comes out, and she's like,

0:50:06 Em: Oh my God, what is this, some kind of fuckin' tacky Fourth of July angel? This is some bullshit.

0:50:11 Sofia: I know, I'm on it, girl.

0:50:13 Em: I got your back, girl, you know it! Let him knock you...

0:50:17 Sofia: Do you see how high I am?

0:50:18 Em: Oh my God, you don't even have wings!

0:50:19 Sofia: Shh, I'm gonna backpack him!

0:50:20 Brennan: You guys, that's an,

0:50:22 Em: I won't tell.

0:50:24 Brennan: She soars up here, [wind and lightning] That is going to be, at the end of, Kugrash, at the end of your turn. 10 foot radius. That's gonna be a 20 foot diameter. Yeah, that's everybody. Everybody on this platform needs to make a Dexterity saving throw. You, because you are all next to Willy, you all roll with advantage.

0:50:58 Ally: Is this against…

0:50:58 Emily: Is this a spell, or is this more of the moving?

0:51:01 Brennan: This is a spell.

0:51:03 Emily: Is he casting it?

0:51:04 Brennan: He is casting it.

0:51:05 Emily: Then I get an attack on him.

0:51:06 Brennan: Woo! Go for it.

0:51:07 Emily: I’m a mage-slayer.

0:51:08 Siobhan: Wait, hang on, Counterspell.

0:51:09 Brennan: You are, there's no way you're within 60 feet.

0:51:11 Siobhan: You're right! Well, look. If you're really gonna play the rules that hard.

0:51:16 Emily: Does a 25 hit him?

0:51:20 Brennan: A 25 does hit him. [Emily laughs smugly]

0:51:22 Ally: So if you do damage, would that cancel the spell?

0:51:25 Emily: 11.

0:51:27 Brennan: 11 points of damage. He takes 11 points of damage, boom. As...

0:51:35 Emily: He also, does he have any spells that have concentration?

0:51:39 Brennan: Yes.

0:51:40 Emily: Then he has to, he gets disadvantage on his saving throw to maintain its concentration.

0:51:44 Brennan: Very cool. 5. He might actually, no, he succeeds. However, I'm gonna need you to make, as you make that, or as you close the final range to make that attack on him, I'm gonna need you to make a Dexterity saving throw.

0:52:01 Emily: Okay. [dramatic music]

0:52:02 Brennan: This is where Evasion’s gonna come in very handy.

0:52:07 Emily: Ah, I got a, let's see. A 36. Wait, does that have 36? Maybe 26? No.

0:52:17 Brennan: 26.

0:52:17 Emily: 26, yeah, I got a 26.

0:52:19 Brennan: Cool. He has an incredibly powerful spell that is fucking shredding everything around him with these ribbons of light, you dodge them all effortlessly and take no damage! [Emily laughs]

0:52:29 Ally: Wow.

0:52:30 Brennan: That's huge. However, I will need those Dexterity saves from...

0:52:35 Ally: Am I saving versus enchantment or possession?

0:52:38 Brennan: No, you are not.

0:52:39 Murph: 22 for Kug.

0:52:40 Brennan: 22.

0:52:41 Lou: I had 19.

0:52:42 Emily: Since I used Evasion, does that count as him missing me?

0:52:44 Ally: What is this?

0:52:45 Brennan: 19?

0:52:45 Lou: 19.

0:52:46 Brennan: Cool.

0:52:46 Emily: Does that count as him missing me?

0:52:48 Ally: 12.

0:52:48 Brennan: No. It does not count as him missing you.

0:52:51 Ally: 12.

0:52:51 Emily: Oh, 'cause that's melee, right.

0:52:52 Brennan: So 12, 19.

0:52:53 Murph: 22.

0:52:54 Brennan: 22. [suspenseful music]

0:52:57 Brennan: Anything, and then that's Alejandro, Willy, and Esther. Buh-buh-bum. Okay. So actually, I think everyone fails this one, actually.

0:53:13 Murph: 22 fails?

0:53:17 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

0:53:19 Lou: I thought I had done it with a 19, I thought, look at this, I get to pass a Dexterity saving throw.

0:53:24 Emily: Yeah.

0:53:25 Lou: What a fool I was.

0:53:26 Emily: Kug, was it just your turn?

0:53:28 Murph: Yes.

0:53:28 Emily: Do the rats go on your turn?

0:53:30 Murph: They do, but they can't really do anything.

0:53:31 Emily: Did you want to say they prepare an action, so that when I make contact, they attack?

0:53:34 Murph: Yeah, I think if you guys attack anybody, the rats with you will… Join it.

0:53:40 Zac: Prepare that action. [dramatic music]

0:53:43 Brennan: So Kingston, Esther, Alejandro, Willy, Kugrash, and sorry, actually not Pete. Pete, you're outside of the blast radius. It's not that large of an explosion, but you see that the angel just literally sends a missile out of his hand. [blasts] Boom, you are all blowed up, each taking 21 points of damage.

0:54:05 Ally: Was it Magic Missile?

0:54:07 Brennan: No, it was not Magic Missile.

0:54:08 Ally: Goddammit, one day!

0:54:09 Lou: And then do I need to, for concentration?

0:54:11 Brennan: You need to roll for concentration. As actually does...

0:54:14 Lou: You say 21?

0:54:16 Brennan: 21, so the DC's still 10.

0:54:22 Murph: Check on my totem thing.

0:54:25 Lou: Plus my Wisdom? Or plus my Con?

0:54:29 Brennan: Plus your Con.

0:54:31 Lou: Oh yeah, 12.

0:54:32 Brennan: Cool. That's gonna be, and then, Alejandro loses his protection, he fails his concentration.

0:54:41 Lou: Okay.

0:54:44 Brennan: Esther maintains hers on Haste. That's going to be Pete.

0:54:49 Ally: [yawning] Great. [laughs]

0:54:51 Siobhan: All right now, any time.

0:54:53 Lou: Pete, I'm glad you're relaxed right now.

0:54:55 Murph: You don't have Dispel Magic, do you?

0:54:57 Ally: I don't. I am going to… Yeah, I guess I'm just going to run and try to get up on that platform.

0:55:12 Brennan: Okay. Yeah. Five, ten, fifteen. Twenty, twenty-fire, so you can make it about here. In a single movement.

0:55:28 Ally: Okay. Man. I, 60 feet is not, that's a 150 guy, right? Yeah, okay. I'm gonna call for Stephen Sondheim.

0:55:44 Siobhan: Great.

0:55:46 Murph: He was kidnapped by two pixies!

0:55:50 Ally: And I'm going to use the...

0:55:54 Zac: Please call someone else!

0:55:55 Ally: Really?

0:55:56 Siobhan: No, absolutely call Stephen Sondheim!

0:55:58 Ally: He saved the day the other day!

0:56:01 Brennan: Stephen Sondheim bursts through the portal and goes,

0:56:05 Sondheim: Of course. The third act. Here we all are. Peter.

0:56:13 Pete: Ricky loves this! Thank you!

0:56:15 Sondheim: Course, Peter. You have a gift, as do we all.

0:56:19 Pete: Oh, well that kind of took it away. I love you like I've loved everyone I've ever dated.

0:56:30 Siobhan: Oh no! That's so sad!F

0:56:33 Ally: Can I use the rest of my movement to try to hop up where Ricky is? Or my action as movement?

0:56:40 Brennan: Oh, sorry. Can you use your action to, oh, and so that was your bonus action. Yeah, you want to use your action to jump up there?

0:56:47 Ally: Please, yeah, I would like to get the fuck off of this.

0:56:51 Brennan: Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, so 30, you make it right here behind Ricky, kind of getting partial cover behind this thing there. You, huh huh, and this thing is whipping around. So it's that thing where it pulls away from you like, aah! [something crashes behind Brennan]

0:57:06 Siobhan: Whoa!

0:57:07 Brennan: We're good!

0:57:08 Siobhan: Now that's pulling an Ally!

0:57:10 Ally: No, that's not what it's called!

0:57:13 Brennan: Guys. When I kicked over all the figurines, that was a total Ally move.

0:57:16 Ally: Okay! I'm like so athletic. And I'm like, I have balance and poise.

0:57:23 Brennan: Wonderful. Ally throws a die from one hand to to other, catching it neatly and showing it off.

0:57:24 Emily: Woo!

0:57:25 Ally: That's right, bitch! No, I won't do that.

0:57:27 Brennan: That's Pete.

0:57:28 Ally: Thank you.

0:57:29 Lou: That's right.

0:57:29 Brennan: And immediately after Pete's turn, this whole thing. [humming] Brennan begins to spin the group’s platform again.

0:57:36 Murph: We gotta get off this.

0:57:37 Lou: This is, yeah, we have...

0:57:38 Zac: I wish I'd grabbed somebody, I should have fuckin'...

0:57:40 Lou: Yeah, I'm truly gonna ask Willy to take me with him. Willy, let's...

0:57:46 Brennan: Cool! This thing tilts again, I'm gonna first, let's do the tilt roll first. Everyone roll a Dexterity save, please.

0:57:54 Murph: Yipes.

0:57:55 Lou: Come on, maybe today. And is it advantage with Willy?

0:57:59 Brennan: If you're within five feet of Willy, it's with advantage. All saving throws are advantage within five feet of Willy.

0:58:02 Murph: Sweet.

0:58:03 Lou: Beautiful. That's gonna be, I still don't think I fuckin' passed, 16?

0:58:08 Murph: 23.

0:58:08 Lou: 16 doesn't do it. Kugrash passes.

0:58:10 Emily: Kingston, you gotta get off of it! This platform was not made for you!

0:58:15 Brennan: Is, of the people that are on, and then it's all mostly allies, right?

0:58:19 Siobhan: Man, you spent so much time on trains, you think you'd be better at standing...

0:58:23 Emily: Because he never has to deal with any… intervenience.

0:58:25 Kugrash: You gotta take a wide stance, Kingston!

0:58:27 Kugrash: Okay, I know how to stand!

0:58:28 Kingston: You ever been on the subway, Kingston?

0:58:30 Kugrash: I have been on the subway more times than any of y'all can count.

0:58:31 Emily: Guys, you don’t remember that public trans—

0:58:33 Brennan: I think Kingston, actually, you're the only one who falls...

0:58:37 Lou: Don't do this to me, why'd you have to call me out like that?

0:58:40 Brennan: You see that as you go for a dip, Willy has his readied action, grabs you, and boom! Leaps off the building.

0:58:48 Willy: Beautiful, man. And this nice coat lying on the ground.

0:58:52 Kingston: Get off of me, get off of me, I can stand on my own two feet!

0:58:53 Willy: Ah, you’re a mensch.

0:58:54 Brennan: As he pinches your cheek.

0:58:55 Kingston: Oh, stop it! I'm a grown man! [laughs]

0:58:58 Murph: Kingston's one of those dudes that, as a point of pride, doesn't hold on to anything on the subway but then, like, falls backwards.

0:59:04 Lou: Exactly. Yeah, I do a lot of, yeah.

0:59:06 Brennan: Cool.

0:59:06 Murph: A lot of...

0:59:07 Siobhan: I don't want to take up anybody else's space, I'll just stand here.

0:59:10 Brennan: Cool. Everyone else makes it, but I am gonna need another round of Dex saves from people there. [Lou sighs]

0:59:19 Murph: This is still Willy helping?

0:59:20 Murph: Willy's still helping, yep.

0:59:22 Lou: Woo, okay!

0:59:22 Siobhan: Oh, okay.

0:59:25 Murph: 20...

0:59:25 Lou: In Willy's lovely arms, I finally pass.

0:59:28 Murph: 23.

0:59:30 Siobhan: So romantic.

0:59:31 Brennan: Cool. Kug, you pass. Alejandro actually takes a little bit of a dip.

0:59:39 Lou: Even with the Bless?

0:59:40 Brennan: Even with the Bless, Alejandro takes a little bit of a dip.

0:59:42 Murph: How's Sondheim doing?

0:59:43 Brennan: Sondheim lands spryly to his feet, he's looking great. Sondheim's looking fucking gold.

0:59:48 Ally: That’s right. Watch him save the day.

0:59:49 Lou: I really do love Stephen Sondheim.

0:59:51 Ally: Also, I couldn't remember anyone else we fought with, I was like, the alligators?

0:59:56 Siobhan: Oh, those alligators.

0:59:57 Emily: They would be able to do nothing here! [laughs]

0:59:59 Siobhan: Nothing at all.

1:00:00 Murph: Yeah, I already summoned my rats.

1:00:01 Siobhan: They're so slow.

1:00:01 Zac: We couldn't call Esther's parents or anything?

1:00:04 Ally: I was thinking Esther could call them.

1:00:05 Brennan: You have not fought with them.

1:00:07 Siobhan: I have one, I have one. [taps her nose]

1:00:10 Brennan: Cool. You got, now for that second save, did anybody fail? Know Kugrash didn't, you passed, great. Alejandro takes a dip. Let's see if he loses concentration. He does not. Boom! Takes a little slide. That is going to be the Dream. [ominous music]

1:00:33 Brennan: I am going to need, Protection from Good is gone on Kingston, right? Who's thrown shit, Pete's thrown shit. But you're down here. This thing turns just to look at Sofia leaping towards him. Do you have any protection shit on you or no?

1:00:57 Emily: No, in fact, I used my reaction already.

1:00:59 Brennan: Mkay. That's a hit.

1:01:03 Siobhan: Mmm, mm-mm, hang on.

1:01:06 Brennan: Okay.

1:01:09 Siobhan: Minus 7.

1:01:11 Brennan: Hold on. [whispering] 15 plus 15 is 30 minus 7… [normal] Still hits.

1:01:15 Siobhan: Fuck!

1:01:18 Emily: Thank you for trying. Siobhan shrugs a little.

1:01:21 Brennan: Next one.

1:01:22 Zac: Next one?

1:01:24 Emily: Fuck me up. [laughs]

1:01:25 Ally: It is what it, oh, and then you died.

1:01:27 Emily: Fuck me up.

1:01:28 Brennan: Okay.

1:01:29 Siobhan: And then you get to be with your beautiful husband who you love very much.

1:01:31 Lou: Okay. [laughs] We don't need to talk in this way.

1:01:34 Ally: It'll be fine when you die.

1:01:36 Lou: Okay.

1:01:37 Siobhan: I want you to die, actually. I hope you die!

1:01:39 Ally: Please don't die!

1:01:40 Emily: I definitely...

1:01:41 Ally: This is all a bit.

1:01:42 Emily: I definitely dressed for this as maybe my death.

1:01:44 Ally: Please, no.

1:01:45 Brennan: From the first attack...

1:01:48 Emily: Mm-hmm.

1:01:49 Brennan: You take… Brennan rolls a pretty decently-sized handful of dice.

1:01:50 Siobhan: [gasps] Oh no!

1:01:54 Brennan: 7, 8, 15, 27.

1:01:59 Lou: It's like, and now...

1:02:02 Emily: Hey, I'm at full, but I'm trying to think if I have anything that... [suspenseful music]

1:02:09 Brennan: You take 49 damage from the first attack.

1:02:12 Zac: 49?

1:02:13 Ally: Do the rats attack?

1:02:16 Emily: I'm still standing.

1:02:16 Brennan: You're still standing? This second attack was a nat 20.

1:02:20 Siobhan: Oh no.

1:02:22 Emily: Oh I'm for sure dead. Unless the second attack...

1:02:25 Ally: Where do you land if you die? Can one of us...

1:02:29 Brennan: It will remain to be seen what happ— where Sofia lands. This next attack...

1:02:36 Emily: Good, waste your turn on me.

1:02:39 Lou: My heart is, it's beating so fast right now. For those at home who can't see my insides.

1:02:47 Ally: Maybe Em can fly in, catch you?

1:02:50 Siobhan: Maybe.

1:02:54 Brennan: [whispers] 15. 23.

1:02:57 Zac: What happens if you use Bend Luck on a nat 20, does that matter?

1:03:00 Siobhan: I mean, I already used my...

1:03:02 Emily: I think I'm...

1:03:04 Siobhan: Bardic? It didn't?

1:03:05 Emily: Absolutely, I'm down, there's no point in even counting it.

1:03:08 Ally: What does happen if you use Bend Luck on a nat 20?

1:03:11 Siobhan: It doesn't, I think it's still a nat 20. Right?

1:03:14 Lou: Yeah, it has to be.

1:03:15 Ally: Yeah.

1:03:17 Lou: A nat 20's a nat 20.

1:03:19 Ally: But I feel like it would change a nat one.

1:03:21 Emily: I feel like there's something I'm missing. Doesn't it feel like on one of these cards I'm gonna have something that negates all this?

1:03:26 Brennan: You take 89 damage from the second attack.

1:03:28 Siobhan: Oh my God.

1:03:29 Emily: That's more than my hit point max. Does that mean I'm dead, official?

1:03:32 Lou: But, you're not… are you zero?

1:03:33 Brennan: Is there, once you get to zero, is there your hit point max left?

1:03:38 Zac: Yeah.

1:03:39 Emily: Once I get to zero...

1:03:40 Siobhan: It's minus.

1:03:41 Emily: Yeah, yeah, 'cause 89 is 35 minus 89, yeah, yeah.

1:03:44 Brennan: Cool, okay. The celestial turns to you, his eyes flare with red, white, and blue light, and a beam of concentrated energy strikes you in the chest. [magical blast] I'm going to need you also, and I know this seems like adding insult to injury, I'm gonna need you to make a Constitution saving throw.

1:04:03 Emily: [quietly] Okay. Am I still Blessed, though?

1:04:05 Brennan: You are still Blessed.

1:04:07 Murph: Arguably.

1:04:08 Lou: Even in death.

1:04:09 Ally: [laughs] Arguably.

1:04:12 Emily: 8.

1:04:15 Lou: Fuck!

1:04:16 Brennan: Sofia, you are dead. Full dead.

1:04:20 Ally: Wait, like not making saving throws?

1:04:21 Brennan: No saves necessary.

1:04:22 Murph: You have a Revivify?

1:04:24 Lou: I do, of course I do. [magical blast]

1:04:33 Brennan: Your soul floats through the tornado, and you see a hand reaching out, being restrained at the Pearly Gates, as Dale reaches out to you. [raspy breath]

1:04:48 Pete: No!

1:04:49 Kugrash: Sof, don't go! You gotta wait—

1:04:50 Pete: No!

1:04:51 Sofia: I mean, I would love to come back and help you finish this fight, but...

1:04:55 Pete: No buts!

1:04:55 Lou: You have to tell us about her body, what is her body doing?

1:04:58 Brennan: It is rent asunder, her rib cage and lungs burst out of her chest, and she begins to fall through the air.

1:05:05 Emily: Can we say that the rats jump off of me onto him?

1:05:08 Brennan: Yeah, they have a readied action. For sure.

1:05:10 Kugrash: Rats, get your revenge!

1:05:12 Murph: It's like slow motion, the music is cut. Kugrash is just screaming, and little rats are jumping for him.

1:05:18 Lou: Freeze frame! Now you're wondering how I got this...

1:05:22 Brennan: There's a bunch of rats on his head. Yeah, Sofia. [whooshing]

1:05:26 Murph: Technically, they can move another...

1:05:28 Emily: I'm falling backwards, right?

1:05:30 Brennan: Yeah.

1:05:31 Lou: With Slow Fall, does she fall slowly?

1:05:35 Emily: I do have Slow Fall, but...

1:05:36 Brennan: That's, Sofia hitting, she immediately drops 20 feet. On her next turn, she will plummet into the hurricane.

1:05:50 Kingston: Em, you gotta do something!

1:05:57 Brennan: Buh-buh-bah.

1:05:57 Ally: Did we battle anyone else who could fly?

1:05:59 Siobhan: Yeah, I got it.

1:06:01 Brennan: That's going to be...

1:06:04 Siobhan: It's me next, right?

1:06:06 Murph: Can the rats attack?

1:06:07 Brennan: Willy actually jumps you in the initiative order.

1:06:10 Zac: Do the rats attack?

1:06:13 Brennan: The rats actually can attack. You can roll an attack for the rats.

1:06:15 Siobhan: Yes.

1:06:16 Murph: Just does a, wait, where the fuck are my rats?

1:06:19 Emily: Come on, attack little friends!

1:06:22 Murph: Ah, there they are. That's a 20 to hit.

1:06:26 Brennan: A 20 to hit? Cool. That hits.

1:06:29 Murph: Yeah, get 'em rats!

1:06:30 Brennan: I'm sorry, a 20? 20 does not hit.

1:06:32 Siobhan: 20 doesn't hit. Jesus christ.

1:06:34 Brennan: I was listening to him, my apologies.

1:06:34 Lou: They're on his head, though!

1:06:36 Brennan: I know, they're all over his body! He looks upset!

1:06:38 Siobhan: He looks so grossed out that he gets disadvantage.

1:06:40 Brennan: You see he goes,

1:06:40 American Dream: Oh, oh no. Oh no. This city is a filthy trash pile. I'm covered in rats. I hate this place.

1:06:50 Ally: That's a terrible DeNiro impression.

1:06:54 Brennan: [laughs] Willy does not have a lot of movement, but he's gonna use all of it. Yeah, that'll do it. He hoists you up in one arm, Kingston.

1:07:04 Kingston: I don't like this.

1:07:06 Willy: Let's get moving, old man.

1:07:07 Kingston: Okay! [foot stomping]

1:07:10 Brennan: And, whoom! Leaps the chasm, bam. You land on the center platform here.

1:07:13 Lou: Oh man, I love Willy.

1:07:17 Brennan: But that's his whole, he only has 20 movement. Not a fast guy, Willy, shockingly. Rowan, it's gonna be you.

1:07:25 Siobhan: Okay. I'm gonna get up, and I'm gonna say,

1:07:30 Rowan: Santa, we could really use some help right now.

1:07:33 Santa: Ho, ho, ho, ho! Merry New Year's!

1:07:39 Brennan: You see that...

1:07:42 Zac: A very good call, I forgot completely about Santa.

1:07:45 Siobhan: I was like, what have we done, what have we done, what have we done, what have we done? [laughs]

1:07:50 Brennan: Cool.

1:07:51 Siobhan: And then I would like to, can I use the Puppet spell on Sofia?

1:07:57 Brennan: Yes, you can.

1:07:58 Siobhan: Great, then I would like to use the Puppet spell to move her over, to get her safely to the ground.

1:08:04 Murph: Ooh! [claps]

1:08:06 Brennan: Hell yeah. You...

1:08:07 Siobhan: To as close to Kingston as is possible.

1:08:08 Ally: Into Kingston’s arms.

1:08:09 Brennan: A bunch of marionette strings come out of your hand. Whoosh, swat! And you thwack Sofia to the ground. She's already dead, so she ain't getting more hurt.

1:08:20 Emily: Oh my God, just a dead Sofia just drops in Kingston's lap. [laughs]

1:08:23 Siobhan: Can I just get up and move?

1:08:24 Brennan: Yes, go for it.

1:08:25 Lou: What a turn, what a turn!

1:08:27 Brennan: What a turn, Rowan!

1:08:29 Santa: Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!

1:08:33 Brennan: Santa bursts through the portal, reaches into his bag.

1:08:36 Santa: I've got gifts for naughty little boys and girls this time! [screams]

1:08:40 Brennan: And takes an eight foot lance of peppermint and hurls it at the American Dream.

1:08:46 Siobhan: Wild!

1:08:47 Lou: What a great Santa.

1:08:48 Ally: Peppermint damage.

1:08:49 Kugrash: There's some rats up there.

1:08:52 Kingston: Watch the rats, Santa!

1:08:55 Brennan: He, you see him, [grunts] wah! This peppermint spear thuds into the body of the American Dream.

1:09:03 Santa: Ahh! It's time for a little war on Earth! Bad will to… [tilts his head] angels? Hard to say.

1:09:13 Brennan: You see, incredible. Sondheim sprints, One, bah, bah, bah. [grunts] Rushes over here. And is actually gonna take a double move. [footfalls] Jumps up here.

1:09:30 Zac: Take the stage?

1:09:31 Emily: Take the stage with me!

1:09:32 Brennan: You see he says,

1:09:33 Sondheim: Friends, geniuses, lovers. We decide the soul of America today. When I was writing Assassins, I pondered long and hard on the nature of violence. By the way, Rowan. We haven't formally met, Stephen Sondheim.

1:09:52 Rowan: Oh my God, I'm such a big fan. Is it true that you have a kink basement hidden in your building?

1:09:57 Sondheim: Every rumor you hear is partially true. [ding]

1:09:59 Rowan: Hot.

1:10:00 Brennan: He winks, you have a d10 Bardic Inspiration.

1:10:02 Lou: Oh!

1:10:05 Zac: Okay!

1:10:06 Brennan: [laughs] Everyone's nodding like yes, yes, yes.

1:10:08 Siobhan: Yeah, that reads, that tracks.

1:10:11 Brennan: I don't know if these spun. Did I spin these already? No, I didn't.

1:10:14 Siobhan: No, I don't think so.

1:10:15 Brennan: So that's gonna go here. [whooshing] And this one's actually going to, I'll pick this up very gently. And, whoo, there we go. And put that right there. That's now going to be, Sofia, you are dead. Who looks very badly injured here?

1:10:40 Siobhan: I'm okay, I'm at 41.

1:10:41 Ally: I'm at 25. I'm not bad. I'm taking half damage, too, so it's not that...

1:10:45 Brennan: Em's right next to you, so Em is going to drop down onto the platform, and hit you for, Jesus, rolled two 8. 21 points of healing.

1:10:55 Ally: Fuck yeah.

1:10:58 Em: Oh sweetheart, you got banged up. [blast]

1:11:02 Pete: Thanks a lot.

1:11:03 Em: Hey. You're all right, kid.

1:11:06 Brennan: That's going to be, the wind. It's gonna move across here. I'm gonna need Pete and Ricky and the rats to all roll Dex saves.

1:11:21 Zac: Okay, I have advantage on dex saves, and you have, you can add plus 4 to it.

1:11:24 Ally: Cool.

1:11:26 Siobhan: I have plus 4 as well, because you're in the Aura of Protection.

1:11:28 Murph: 17 for the rats.

1:11:30 Ally: 13. Oh, and my dex, sorry, 16.

1:11:34 Zac: Oh, you're Blessed too, right?

1:11:36 Ally: I rolled it.

1:11:37 Zac: Okay, so. 18 for me.

1:11:42 Brennan: 18 for you, you got a 16.

1:11:46 Zac: Pretty shitty roll, Considering all of it.

1:11:48 Ally: Yes. Yeah same. [laughs]

1:11:49 Brennan: Pete, you take 15 halved to 7. You are flung off of the platform.

1:11:54 Zac: Towards the other thing?

1:11:56 Brennan: Nope, out into space.

1:11:57 Ally: Me?

1:11:58 Brennan: You.

1:11:59 Ally: Great.

1:12:00 Brennan: Yeah, it's a, sorry, this is actually a Strength saving throw, I don't know if that would change it for some people.

1:12:06 Zac: Oh, Strength versus...

1:12:07 Brennan: Yeah, yours would be even higher, you're okay, Ricky.

1:12:09 Ally: Mine would be lower.

1:12:10 Brennan: Yours would be lower, yeah.

1:12:11 Murph: The rats would get 16 with Strength.

1:12:13 Zac: Can I bolster your throw?

1:12:19 Brennan: Pete is flung and falling. So on Pete's turn, he will fall into the hurricane.

1:12:28 Lou: I'm sorry?

1:12:29 Murph: You've got a...

1:12:31 Brennan: On Pete's turn, he will fall into the hurricane.

1:12:32 Lou: Stop saying that like it's okay!

1:12:33 Ally: I have a shield.

1:12:34 Zac: Do you have any movement things?

1:12:37 Ally: Any what?

1:12:37 Zac: Movement stuff? Like Blink or whatever?

1:12:40 Murph: I have a way to grab you, but I don't know if, you might go before...

1:12:44 Ally: I don't have any spell slots left for using any of those.

1:12:48 Siobhan: Yeah, maybe I can Puppet you as well.

1:12:50 Ricky: Ricky, that's gonna be you.

1:12:53 Murph: Oh, I might be able to, I think I can get you.

1:12:56 Ally: Where are those fuckin' spiders at? They can just web us to where we're standing.

1:12:58 Siobhan: Right, yeah.

1:13:00 Murph: I could get,

1:13:01 Siobhan: Tie us, tie us down, it would be nice.

1:13:02 Zac: Do you guys think you can get him or not?

1:13:04 Murph: We don't have giant insects.

1:13:08 Zac: Do y'all think you can grab Pete or not?

1:13:11 Murph: I think I can maybe grab Pete.

1:13:15 Lou: I have a last, last, last resort.

1:13:18 Zac: I don't know that I can do it without just falling off the edge myself.

1:13:25 Emily: Pete, don't you have, do you have Gust or anything that you just blow yourself on course?

1:13:30 Ally: I wish. I have, as far as spell slots go...

1:13:40 Zac: Okay, I'm gonna say, with Haste, maybe, [laughs] can I, is there any way that makes sense to you, using my movement to get Pete out of the air, just 'cause I feel like I've gotta, 'cause he's sort of in the wrong direction it feels like.

1:13:59 Brennan: So, you could... [dramatic music]

1:14:06 Brennan: Wait until the next spin. Actually, this one spins clockwise, this one spins counter-clockwise. Pete is headed towards here, but the length of that section means that on the next spin, there will be a moment where Pete could be moved and shoved on to the moving platform.

1:14:28 Siobhan: Hold your movement until then.

1:14:30 Zac: I'll hold my movement 'til then, and I'll say,

1:14:32 Ricky: Em, can you, when you can, can you fly me up there?

1:14:38 Zac: To, pointing at the.

1:14:40 Brennan: Em nods and says,

1:14:41 Em: I can get you up there as fast as I can.

1:14:44 Brennan: And then you, so that's free to speak.

1:14:47 Zac: And I have Haste, so can I just, as part, that's part of my action, so can I still just take an attack on this tornado? Just to see what happens?

1:14:56 Brennan: Yeah, you absolutely can. You also can, and so you, it's an action to ready an action, so you can use your Haste action to ready an action. Use your normal action, you just spoke, which is free. And you also have a bonus action left.

1:15:10 Zac: Oh I'm, is there anyone else to call?

1:15:12 Ally: Yeah.

1:15:13 Lou: Yeah.

1:15:15 Zac: I'll call...

1:15:15 Siobhan: Don Confetti.

1:15:18 Zac: Don Confetti. I'll say Don Confetti.

1:15:19 Murph: Oh, a pixie would be great.

1:15:20 Emily: Yeah.

1:15:21 Murph: Although they're little.

1:15:22 Siobhan: But at least he can fly.

1:15:23 Zac: Yeah, Don Confetti.

1:15:25 Brennan: Cool.

1:15:26 Zac: And yeah, I don't have any fuckin' spell slots left.

1:15:28 Ally: Yeah.

1:15:30 Siobhan: What were all of our fights that we did?

1:15:31 Ally: Wait, if I'm dreamless and I'm immune to sleep related harm, does that mean that this tornado won't necessarily fuck with me?

1:15:41 Brennan: No, it'll fuck with you.

1:15:42 Ally: Okay.

1:15:43 Emily: Do you have a spell for...

1:15:45 Brennan: Cool.

1:15:46 Lou: You're coming back, dude. You're not done.

1:15:48 Brennan: You summon, you pull Don Confetti through the portal. Boom. He appears. [whooshing]

1:15:57 Don Confetti: Oh, what the fuck is going on here? Why have you done this to me?

1:16:00 Ricky: I'm so sorry.

1:16:01 Don Confetti: You dirty backstabber.

1:16:03 Ricky: Everything's going to end if we don't kill this thing.

1:16:07 Brennan: Cool, awesome.

1:16:09 Ally: Oh, I can shoot my gun when I get close to the platform, maybe.

1:16:13 Zac: Push yourself closer.

1:16:14 Ally: Yeah, if I just need a nudge. Five feet?

1:16:18 Brennan: So Ricky, that's you. And you have an action readied, you also have an action you want to use if you want to take a swing at the tornado.

1:16:24 Zac: I guess I'll fuckin' attack the tornado.

1:16:26 Brennan: You swing at the tornado. Whoo, passes through wind.

1:16:30 Zac: I won't even roll. [laughs]

1:16:31 Murph: What's more American than a firefighter swinging an ax at a tornado?

1:16:36 Siobhan: It's a fuckin' mall, Brad.

1:16:38 Zac: Can I take a Perception roll and just to look at the American Dream to see how fucked up it is, if at all? 19, plus perception. 24.

1:16:51 Brennan: Oh, 24? And what are you looking at specifically?

1:16:54 Zac: I just want to see how hurt is it, if at all. I think it's been barely hurt at all.

1:17:00 Brennan: It's been barely hurt. It's been hurt, but barely. That's Ricky's turn.

1:17:08 Emily: The tornado or the angel?

1:17:09 Zac: I was talking about the angel, right?

1:17:11 Brennan: The angel, yeah.

1:17:12 Emily: I only hit him for 11.

1:17:14 Ally: I hit him twice, but they were both halved.

1:17:16 Zac: And then the rats did not hit him yet.

1:17:18 Siobhan: Yeah.

1:17:19 Brennan: Yes, so the portal...

1:17:21 Zac: Santa's attack.

1:17:22 Siobhan: And Santa's attack as well.

1:17:23 Brennan: And Santa's attack, yeah,

1:17:23 Emily: Oh, so all that did nothing.

1:17:23 Brennan: Santa hurt him as well. Cool. Spin happens, Ricky, you have your prepared action. You, this one goes clockwise. [humming] You rush, fling yourself off of here, just as...

1:17:40 Zac: Say run on the wall and kick off. [laughs]

1:17:43 Brennan: Hell yeah.

1:17:44 Siobhan: [whispering] Nice, nice, nice.

1:17:45 Brennan: I'll get this out of here real quick.

1:17:48 Lou: This is some...

1:17:48 Siobhan: Fuckin’...

1:17:49 Lou: Rick is crazy! Brennan, in the process of shifting the battlefield, accidentally knocks over the American Dream.

1:17:53 Brennan: No!

1:17:55 Siobhan: Goodbye, he's dead!

1:17:56 Lou: The American Dream.

1:17:56 Siobhan: He fell, we won.

1:17:56 Lou: Yeah, what if we made him fall, would that be an unofficial...

1:18:00 Murph: His little foot broke.

1:18:02 Brennan: Hm?

1:18:03 Murph: His foot.

1:18:03 Brennan: His little foot...

1:18:04 Lou: Did the foot break off?

1:18:05 Siobhan: Oh, he's dead!

1:18:06 Lou: He can’t walk anymore cause that’s damage...

1:18:06 Emily: His foot broke off?

1:18:08 Lou: You gotta roll a d6 for that! You gotta roll a d6 for that!

1:18:11 Siobhan: Here's his head.

1:18:12 Ally: I'll do it for you.

1:18:13 Brennan: Thank you, hold on.

1:18:14 Ally: 4.

1:18:15 Lou: Takes 4 damage, dude, you gotta…

1:18:15 Siobhan: It’s rules, it’s canon.

1:18:16 Emily: I'm just gonna add, since I'm dead, I have radiant damage.

1:18:19 Lou: I'm gonna roll one of these, the one that's 10, he takes 40 damage.

1:18:25 Emily: I forgot, since I'm having sex with my husband in the afterlife...

1:18:28 Lou: You take another 4. Oh, and I forgot, I think that's just the damage you have to take when your foot falls off, that's another 4.

1:18:33 Brennan: Spectacular.

1:18:38 Emily: It's embarrassing when people see you and your shoes are off.

1:18:38 Lou: Psychosis damage.

1:18:39 Brennan: Ricky, you, I'm gonna need an Athletics roll from you to be able to catch, I'm gonna say it's a DC 15 to catch Pete.

1:18:48 Zac: Athletics, okay. And do I, advantage on Dex throws.

1:18:53 Brennan: This is, no, this is Strength.

1:18:56 Zac: All right. [suspenseful music]

1:18:59 Ally: And you're Blessed.

1:19:04 Zac: 13, a Dex saving throw?

1:19:08 Brennan: No, no, no, this is Athletics check.

1:19:09 Zac: Oh, an athletics check. I got… That's only a 13.

1:19:21 Siobhan: [whispering] Fuck, man.

1:19:26 Brennan: Pete, you're still alive, right?

1:19:27 Ally: Yeah.

1:19:28 Brennan: You may make a DC15 Dexterity saving throw.

1:19:32 Emily: Oh, use some sorcery points, and you're Blessed!

1:19:34 Siobhan: And you’re Blessed.

1:19:34 Zac: And wait, can you Bend Luck for me?

1:19:37 Ally: Nat 20! Nat 20, nat 20, nat 20! [laughs] Get us out of here!

1:19:43 Siobhan: Take it all back, take it all back!

1:19:45 Lou: Jesus.

1:19:45 Siobhan: All of your plans.

1:19:46 Lou: I can't with this.

1:19:47 Ricky: My workout buddy, dude!

1:19:49 Siobhan: Oh my God, you're so buff now!

1:19:51 Ally: I am so buff now!

1:19:53 Siobhan: Rowan is so impressed by whatever it is you're about to do.

1:19:55 Lou: [fanning himself nervously] Good God.

1:19:56 Ally: Good.

1:19:57 Brennan: Ricky, you get Pete out of his dead fall, but in doing so, you move him but not yourself. You begin to fall, until Pete, you're holding on to Pete's leg.

1:20:11 Siobhan: Oh my God.

1:20:12 Brennan: Pete, you do not make it to standing, you are instead hanging off the edge of this platform.

1:20:19 Siobhan: [singing] I'm on the edge! Of glory!

1:20:26 Brennan: [screams] Hell yeah. Whoo, bam. [screams] Spinning in the trail, [screams]

1:20:32 Pete: I got you, dog!

1:20:33 Ally: We're like this.

1:20:34 Ricky: I know you got it, dude!

1:20:36 Pete: Thanks, man! Hey, where's your dog?

1:20:40 Zac: Just fully crying again.

1:20:41 Pete: Oh, I'm so sorry, dude.

1:20:43 Ricky: It's fine! He's made of light. Still makes me so sad.

1:20:48 Pete: [laughs] Aw!

1:20:50 Brennan: Kugrash, I'm gonna need you to make a Dexterity saving throw. [suspenseful music]

1:20:55 Lou: That's right.

1:21:00 Murph: That was 15 plus my Dex. 19.

1:21:07 Sofia: Oh no.

1:21:08 Murph: [whispers] Fuck.

1:21:12 Brennan: 10...

1:21:12 Ally: Where even are you?

1:21:13 Brennan: 19...

1:21:14 Emily: Over there.

1:21:16 Brennan: 22. You take 28 points of damage.

1:21:19 Murph: I am hurt.

1:21:21 Brennan: [blast] As you are lit up by the American Dream again. You see, buh-buh-bum. That is going to be... [laughs]

1:21:33 Ally: That church lady's hat of Rats is so funny.

1:21:37 Brennan: Kingston, that goes back to you.

1:21:38 Lou: Great. I'd like to sprint up these stairs and get to the other side...

1:21:44 Brennan: Cool.

1:21:45 Lou: Of Sofie, as I'm running up the stairs, I'd like to yell to the gate,

1:21:50 Kingston: La Gran Gata, your champion needs you!

1:21:53 Brennan: And then I will cast Revivify on Sofie Bikes.

1:21:58 Ally: Yeah!

1:21:59 Emily: Does that mean I come back?

1:22:00 Brennan: You come back. [Emily screams]

1:22:02 Lou: Yeah, I burned a fourth level...

1:22:03 Sofia: I was fucking Dale! I was lying there on a choir of angels. [laughs]

1:22:08 Brennan: La Gran Gata bursts...

1:22:09 Ally: And a choir?

1:22:11 Brennan: La Gran Gata bursts from the portal, it bursts from the portal, he says,

1:22:16 La Gran Gata: Your fight is not yet over. Mija, you have much scratching me to do.

1:22:25 Brennan: If you can go place La Gran Gata over there. [Emily laughs, claps]

1:22:29 Lou: Murderer's Row right here.

1:22:30 Brennan: Murderer's Row? That's Kingston. It's gonna be Esther's turn. She's still got the Haste going, so she's got her concentration. She goes, you see that she sprints, can I see her real quick? [dramatic music]

1:22:49 Brennan: Let me take this out here.

1:22:55 Lou: [whispers] Esther, do not fuck this up. You've gotta make this.

1:23:00 Brennan: Hell yeah. You see that she runs, Esther is a fit Warmage, but she's still a fuckin' nerd, so you see her sprinting, you're worried about her getting to that thing. You see that she looks at you, as you're opening your eyes, she goes,

1:23:14 Esther: Glad you're back in the fight, girl. Emily has her mouth wide open in delight.

1:23:17 Brennan: [grunts] And goes, whoom, whoom, and throws three spinning circles of neon runes in the void, and jumps, striding each time, boom, boom, boom! Making a little three rock bridge for herself.

1:23:28 Siobhan: Amazing.

1:23:29 Emily: Yeah, girl!

1:23:30 Brennan: Lands here, lands here, sees that you made the jump off of here and you see her go like,

1:23:37 Esther: [speaking quick math calculations] All right,

1:23:37 Brennan: Whoom! And five, [magical explosions] diagonal steps appear in the air, leading up to the angel. [explosion]

1:23:47 Sofia: Yeah, that's my fuckin' girl!

1:23:48 Esther: You know what to do! [Emily laughs]

1:23:51 Sofia: Yes, I just love fighting with her!

1:23:57 Brennan: Alejandro sees the same thing, he stands up from prone, if someone wants to stand him up next to those rats. Whose rats are those, those are Kugrash's rats?

1:24:06 Lou: I think they were, yeah.

1:24:07 Zac: Whose rats are these?

1:24:09 Siobhan: Excuse me, madam? Madam, are these your rats?

1:24:11 Brennan: You can't leave your rats lying all over the battlefield, gang! Alejandro stands up, and goes,

1:24:20 Alejandro: [points at Sofia] You've got this.

1:24:21 Sofia: Thank you! I know I do.

1:24:24 Brennan: And hits you with Protection From Good and Evil. [sound of sparkling]

1:24:28 Zac: [whispering] Oh my God.

1:24:29 Sofia: Hoo, I'm so buffed! [Ally laughs]

1:24:33 Brennan: Buh-buh-bum.

1:24:34 Kingston: I watched your lungs fly out of you earlier. But I'm glad you're back and feeling it.

1:24:38 Pete: That was horrifying when we found out that you were dead. [Emily laughs]

1:24:43 Rowan: It was bad for us, I'm glad you had a good time with your husband...

1:24:45 Kingston: I’m glad you feel good. We all had to watch you die.

1:24:47 Brennan: This fire tornado moves right over here to Ricky and Pete.

1:24:50 Zac: Come on!

1:24:51 Murph: Shit!

1:24:52 Lou: Come on.

1:24:53 Brennan: I'm gonna need Dex saves with disadvantage from both of you.

1:24:55 Zac: I have advantage.

1:24:56 Brennan: So that means you're gonna roll a flat dex save.

1:24:57 Ally: Does it give me advantage too, or that's just you?

1:25:00 Zac: I think it's just me, 'cause I have Haste on me.

1:25:02 Brennan: Yeah.

1:25:03 Lou: Yeah you...

1:25:04 Siobhan: But you do get an extra 4 from his Aura of Protection. Goddamn. I thought you said that this die was the one that was cursed! It's this one! That one has rolled so many nat 1s in this game.

1:25:17 Ally: Oh, but I also have Bless.

1:25:18 Brennan: Yeah, roll Bless. Let me know what you roll.

1:25:20 Ally: 5.

1:25:23 Zac: 11.

1:25:25 Ally: Oh, and I add...

1:25:25 Brennan: 11.

1:25:25 Ally: Dex, you say?

1:25:27 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

1:25:28 Ally: Oh cool, that's...

1:25:29 Zac: You add 4 to this.

1:25:30 Siobhan: Plus 4 from Ricky.

1:25:31 Ally: 12.

1:25:32 Brennan: Cool.

1:25:33 Zac: Am I in danger of being thrown off? Or should I...

1:25:35 Brennan: The fire doesn't appear to have the same wind thing...

1:25:38 Zac: Okay. Cool.

1:25:39 Brennan: That anything else does. I'm rolling like trash over here.

1:25:44 Zac: Good! [laughs]

1:25:45 Ally: Yeah, exactly. [fakely] Oh, I feel so bad!

1:25:47 Brennan: You each take 20 points of damage.

1:25:49 Ally: Mine's halved with my armor?

1:25:50 Brennan: Yours is 10, yep. So whoom, as you are immolated over there by the tornado moving...

1:25:55 Zac: 20 you said?

1:25:56 Brennan: 20, yeah. Great. That is going to be Kugrash.

1:26:04 Murph: Sweet. Okay. Can, ah… Doo doo doo doo doo. Can I use my Haste thing after a short rest? 'Cause I used my watch during the last fight.

1:26:19 Brennan: You can use it again after a short rest.

1:26:21 Murph: Okay, until the spell ends, puts you at advantage on dexterity saving throws. Okay. I think… I'm gonna do that, 'cause I'm very slow and it will be hard for me to, maybe I could get up in the mix. How hurt is everybody?

1:26:37 Emily: I have 1 hit point.

1:26:38 Murph: Jesus Christ, okay. I'm running for Sofie. So I am gonna have to take a full dash to get to her.

1:26:43 Zac: Are her little steps still there?

1:26:46 Brennan: Esther is holding this, she's got Haste running on you and is actively using her actions to hold these laser grid, [thudding] rune manhole cover of Gramercy Occult Society steps that are, they're not level, they're like tom toms almost hanging at diagonals in the air for you to spring off of and jump up.

1:27:08 Siobhan: This is the American Ninja Warrior Dream.

1:27:12 Murph: So with Haste, would it be smarter for me to, so my speed is already doubled, and I get another action. So could I potentially, 'cause Kugrash doesn't have great Athletics, I think I'd rather make this jump than this jump.

1:27:26 Brennan: You're trying to make which jump? Oh, you're trying to go...

1:27:28 Murph: I think I'd rather...

1:27:29 Brennan: Yeah, yeah, yeah, understood.

1:27:30 Murph: 'Cause I can run very far.

1:27:31 Brennan: Yeah, jumping, getting up higher to jump down to something that is closer will be much easier for sure.

1:27:36 Murph: I would like to do that, 'cause I think I have basically 100 feet of movement if I use a dash action.

1:27:42 Brennan: Cool.

1:27:43 Murph: Okay, so...

1:27:44 Zac: What is that wolf?

1:27:45 Brennan: That's just the unicorn.

1:27:46 Zac: Oh, oh.

1:27:48 Murph: So how many can I move if I can move...

1:27:50 Siobhan: Idiot. Can't you tell that wolf is a unicorn?

1:27:52 Murph: 20 spaces?

1:27:53 Brennan: 20 spaces, yeah.

1:27:54 Murph: Okay, so one, two, three...

1:27:57 Brennan: That's difficult terrain. So that's three, four.

1:27:59 Murph: Five...

1:28:00 Brennan: Six.

1:28:01 Murph: Seven, eight… Nine, 10.

1:28:03 Brennan: That's 50.

1:28:04 Murph: And then I can jump?

1:28:05 Brennan: Yeah, jump.

1:28:06 Murph: Okay. Down here.

1:28:09 Brennan: Cool. Go ahead and make an Athletics check for me, or acrobatics.

1:28:12 Murph: All right, Acrobatics would be better. 9.

1:28:17 Brennan: You take 5 points of falling damage.

1:28:19 Murph: Okay. Hurt. So what did I say, that was 10 or 11?

1:28:24 Brennan: That's 11 down there.

1:28:25 Murph: Okay, that's fine. 12, 23, I just want to get up next to Sofie here.

1:28:30 Brennan: Cool.

1:28:31 Siobhan: Can you move your unicorn as a bonus action?

1:28:32 Murph: Yes, which is what I'm also gonna do. So then I'm gonna move the unicorn.

1:28:36 Zac: Is that a bonus action or just something else?

1:28:38 Murph: That's a bonus action. So bonus action, I can move the unicorn within 60 feet. So I'm gonna move it to the center...

1:28:48 Brennan: Cool.

1:28:49 Murph: Of all of us.

1:28:49 Brennan: Dope.

1:28:49 Murph: Bink! And then I'm going to cast a second level Cure Wounds on Sofie. Healing everyone in the aura for 10.

1:29:03 Siobhan: Nice.

1:29:05 Brennan: Whoa, and how big is the aura?

1:29:06 Murph: 30 feet.

1:29:09 Brennan: Radius?

1:29:09 Murph: Yes, aura. I think it's a circle.

1:29:12 Brennan: Oh shit. That is everybody. Everybody on the center platform including Ricky and Pete are healed for 10.

1:29:18 Emily: Oh my God!

1:29:19 Ally: Oh fuck yeah!

1:29:20 Emily: That aura!

1:29:21 Ally: That's amazing.

1:29:22 Emily: Your auras!

1:29:24 Lou: My man knows what he's doing.

1:29:25 Siobhan: Yeah, you'd think that your aura's pretty...

1:29:26 Zac: Beautiful aura.

1:29:27 Siobhan: Disgusting.

1:29:28 Ally: What color aura do you think that is?

1:29:29 Siobhan: Oh my god, just like purple and blue.

1:29:31 Brennan: Esther was looking fucked up. Esther was looking hurt. She's healed as well.

1:29:35 Murph: 12 to you.

1:29:36 Emily: Oh 12 to me.

1:29:37 Brennan: Plus the 10 from unicorn, right?

1:29:39 Emily: Plus the 10. Oh my, wow!

1:29:41 Ally: Hell yeah, that's amazing.

1:29:41 Sofia: Thanks, Kug, you earned yourself a fuckin' another free makeover.

1:29:45 Kugrash: I'll take it!

1:29:47 Ally: [laughs] I'd love it.

1:29:49 Brennan: Hell yeah.

1:29:50 Murph: And then I think I still have a little bit of movement left, I'm kinda squishy. So I think I'm gonna, beep, beep, beep. Just hide back around the corner.

1:29:57 Brennan: Gotcha. Cool, cool, cool.

1:29:59 Emily: This is a big difference, I was thinking I was definitely just gonna die immediately again, but this is, I might not.

1:30:06 Lou: I like the sound of that. I can get down with that. [Emily laughs]

1:30:09 Ally: And now we have stone steps.

1:30:11 Lou: Yeah, all of us can climb up. Kingston's... [weak grunts, pretending to climb]

1:30:17 Ally: Thank you! [Lou grunts]

1:30:19 Ally: Esther!

1:30:20 Brennan: Laying a finger aside of his nose, jolly old St. Nick...

1:30:25 Zac: Aside of his nose?

1:30:27 Brennan: If someone wants to hand me old St. Nick here.

1:30:28 Ally: He's doing a bunch of coke. [laughs] [Emily laughs]

1:30:31 Zac: Snow!

1:30:35 Ally: Santa gets keyed up and lunges into the dream tornado.

1:30:39 Brennan: You see that Santa flies over here, whoo, you see he's like,

1:30:42 Santa: Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!

1:30:45 Brennan: Looks down at Stephen Sondheim, and he says,

1:30:48 Santa: Mr. Sondheim! You've been a very good little boy!

1:30:53 Brennan: Reaches into his sack, and throws down two full four and a half foot long broadswords.

1:31:02 Ally: Fuck!

1:31:03 Zac: What is he? [sound of swords scraping] Stephen Sondheim’s mini changes to a different mini, where he is in a running action pose and dual-wielding massive broadswords.

1:31:05 Brennan: Stephen Sondheim...

1:31:06 Siobhan: What!

1:31:06 Ally: What, no! That's not just a mini that you had!

1:31:08 Siobhan: You already had that planned!?

1:31:10 Lou: That's one of the coolest things that you've ever done!

1:31:12 Siobhan: That is incredible.

1:31:13 Lou: Straight up, that's one of the most amazing things…

1:31:14 Siobhan: So cool.

1:31:15 Zac: I apologize.

1:31:16 Lou: That you've ever done.

1:31:17 Zac: I apologize.

1:31:18 Lou: Straight up?

1:31:19 Ally: Thank you!

1:31:19 Emily: What if we hadn't called Stephen Sondheim!

1:31:20 Lou: This fight is incredible, that's honestly one of the coolest things, not only to make Stephen Sondheim a character, then to give him two broadswords. Respect.

1:31:27 Ally: You see that he goes, he goes...

1:31:29 Zac: I apologize.

1:31:29 Sondheim: Nicholas...

1:31:30 Ally: I'm happy you feel that way.

1:31:31 Brennan: He goes...

1:31:32 Zac: Okay!

1:31:32 Sondheim: Nicholas, I feel terrible. I didn't get you anything. Oh wait. I did.

1:31:38 Brennan: And winks..

1:31:39 Ally: If Santa has two broadswords...

1:31:40 Brennan: [laughs] You see that he, he winks at Santa Claus, and Santa Claus blushes, and he says,

1:31:46 Sondheim: A musical Miracle on 34th Street? Has anyone thought about it? Could be good. Anyway...

1:31:51 Brennan: Whoom! [sound of swords] Whoom whoom whoom, whoom, whoom! Ching-ching-ching-ching-ching! Does this incredible sword dance and goes,

1:31:57 Sondheim: [singing] These are my friends! [jazz hands]

1:32:02 Brennan: That's going to be Pete.

1:32:06 Ally: Really?

1:32:07 Brennan: Yeah, it's you!

1:32:08 Ally: Oh no. I would like to get up and pull Ricky with me, 'cause I'm so fucking buff now.

1:32:15 Zac: Yeah, we have advantage on ability checks, right?

1:32:18 Siobhan: Oh yeah, within the aura of the...

1:32:20 Murph: No that's not on, not the unicorn.

1:32:23 Zac: It's not a unicorn?

1:32:24 Murph: No, the spicy, the cockroach does that.

1:32:25 Ally: Spicy cockroach.

1:32:27 Murph: The Juicy Cockroach. Spicy Pidgeon.

1:32:28 Ally: Spicy, oh yeah! [laughs]

1:32:30 Murph: Spicy Pidgeon.

1:32:31 Ally: Okay, I would like to pull Pete up, please.

1:32:32 Brennan: This is gonna be a DC20 Athletics check.

1:32:35 Ally: I have a one to Athletics.

1:32:37 Brennan: You've gotta roll a 19 or a 20 to pull Ricky up.

1:32:40 Zac: But what happens if you fail, though?

1:32:42 Brennan: Pete would not fall, but there would be a, if you rolled, if you got a 1 you would fall.

1:32:53 Siobhan: What about if you wait for Ricky's movement and Ricky can just...

1:32:58 Zac: If you say help, can you give me the Help action for when it's my turn?

1:33:02 Brennan: You could give the Help action, you can also, you're hanging on for dear life, but you could also cast a spell or take another action just hanging here.

1:33:09 Ally: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I could do that. Okay, I...

1:33:13 Emily: Shoot that fucker!

1:33:15 Ally: Yes.

1:33:18 Brennan: But it's, you are also hanging on for dear life, if this thing spins again, you'll have to roll to not be flung off into nothingness.

1:33:26 Zac: Oh God.

1:33:28 Ally: I'll fuckin' roll.

1:33:30 Brennan: All right, let's see,

1:33:32 Emily: It spun after...

1:33:33 Ally: 19! 19! [cheering] Ally stands up out of their seat and punches the air.

1:33:37 Ally: Yeah!

1:33:38 Emily: Yeah!

1:33:39 Ally: Come on, buddy!

1:33:42 Emily: Goddamn!

1:33:43 Ricky: Keep going, keep going!

1:33:44 Siobhan: Oh, he's so buff!

1:33:45 Emily: You have the most poetic rolls! [Ally laughs]

1:33:49 Brennan: Pete, your med bracelet, the source of your arcane focus glows, of all the pills on it, the testosterone pops open, and a pill wearing a little army helmet pops out and goes,

1:34:01 Pill: [army sergeant voice] Come on, boys! Pete needs us!

1:34:04 Brennan: And a stream of them, hut, hut, hut! Leap into your open mouth. [gagging on pills] Your muscles, [bursting]

1:34:08 Zac: It’s like Popeye!

1:34:12 Brennan: I'm gonna say free Wild Magic surge, your Strength is 20 for the rest of combat.

1:34:17 Ally: Fuck yes!

1:34:17 Brennan: Pete is fuckin' ripped, just huge!

1:34:21 Zac: You said metal ripped!

1:34:23 Ally: That is amazing!

1:34:24 Lou: Chrome and ripped? [laughs]

1:34:27 Ally: That's insane!

1:34:28 Brennan: Oh yeah, you're like fuckin' Colossus from X-Men, you're a huge, jacked, chrome dream sorcerer man. Fucking, you're as shredded as Ricky.

1:34:39 Siobhan: All your clothes are ripped.

1:34:40 Ricky: Hell yeah dude.

1:34:41 Brennan: Hell yeah, dude. Fuckin' brothers, dude.

1:34:42 Pete: Glad I switched from the testosterone gel. [Brennan laughs]

1:34:46 Zac: I take a picture of you just for a before and after, and just send it to you, so you can post it. [laughs]

1:34:51 Pete: Gains all day. Wait, fuck, ew, I never wanted to become that guy. [Emily laughs]

1:34:57 Brennan: Cool, that's...

1:34:58 Pete: I still read! I still read poems!

1:35:01 Brennan: That's just your movement.

1:35:02 Ally: Yeah it is!

1:35:03 Brennan: But that's your, [Zac snaps approvingly]

1:35:05 Brennan: Hell yeah. And actually, yeah, probably it's half your movement getting up there, so you guys, you actually could take another three spaces of movement if you want.

1:35:13 Ally: Okay.

1:35:14 Emily: You might want to get away from the edge.

1:35:15 Ally: Yeah, yeah, definitely. I would like to...

1:35:17 Zac: Can Pete carry me in his arms?

1:35:21 Brennan: Yeah, you're so fuckin' jacked, you carry Ricky like a baby.

1:35:22 Ally: I carry Ricky like a baby to the center of the thing so we stop spinning around.

1:35:26 Brennan: Gotcha.

1:35:27 Ally: Or as close as...

1:35:28 Brennan: Yeah, you get there.

1:35:29 Emily: Oh my God, Pete, you look so badass.

1:35:30 Ally: And then, let's see, what do I do? I guess I'll throw another Vitriolic Sphere up at Dream.

1:35:38 Brennan: Hell yeah, go for it.

1:35:39 Ally: At American Dream. So that's just a Dex saving throw for yours.

1:35:44 Brennan: Cool. He succeeds on that Dex saving throw, so go ahead and roll that 10d4.

1:35:51 Ally: Great. Could I have a million d4s again, please?

1:35:54 Lou: Let them just send my son. Send your beautiful children.

1:35:56 Emily: I’m gonna send, actually this is a different child.

1:35:57 Ally: I have four. Now I have six. Seven. Eight, nine. One more, please.

1:36:04 Lou: All right, fine, take my son. [Emily laughs]

1:36:07 Ally: Give me your sons. All right.

1:36:08 Emily: Let me see how my daughter is doing out there.

1:36:09 Lou: He is going to get another 1. I dont know.

1:36:09 Siobhan: Sophie's Choice over here.

1:36:11 Lou: I don't believe in my son at all. Ally rolls, and a bunch of them drop off the table.

1:36:15 Lou: Middling again!

1:36:16 Brennan: Rolling an Ally every time.

1:36:17 Ally: You know what, everyone?

1:36:20 Emily: My daughter got a four.

1:36:21 Brennan: Woo, that's not bad!

1:36:22 Ally: A bunch of fours.

1:36:23 Emily: Get in there girl.

1:36:24 Ally: Let's see. So 15. 23, 27. In half.

1:36:30 Brennan: Ooh damn! This one, you can see this one hurts this angel. [magical blast]

1:36:38 Ally: Great. And then can I do an Arcana check to see if I can get any more info about what I saw in Moses's office and try to get that rune...

1:36:52 Murph: Oh shit.

1:36:53 Brennan: Go ahead and give me an Arcana check, absolutely.

1:36:57 Ally: 16 and 5, 21.

1:37:00 Brennan: You look around, you suspect that you are inside the phylactery, that this spell is occurring in extra-dimensional space as the, you're catching the Dream in the infinitesimal moment prior to the moment of it entering into the world. If this battle is lost, this thing enters the world and it's all over, folks.

1:37:22 Emily: What did the rune sound like?

1:37:25 Brennan: You, from that velvet container, from the wooden box with the little velvet on the inside, you know that you are actually in proximity to the phylactery, you could destroy it from here, but you would have to know the whole rest of the sequence.

1:37:46 Ally: With the 20...

1:37:48 Brennan: The 21?

1:37:49 Ally: Yeah, can I know kind of how to find the rest of the sequence?

1:37:53 Brennan: You, yeah, with a 21, researching it from in here is gonna be impossible. In order to destroy the phylactery, you would have to have an amount of, in order to be able to guess the phylactery, you would effectively have to be bordering on omniscient, you would have to be a fuckin', it would be next to impossible.

1:38:20 Zac: Can we just...

1:38:22 Emily: Let's just all make a bunch of noises, and maybe one of them will be right?

1:38:26 Siobhan: Yeah, like monkeys writing Hamlet.

1:38:27 Lou: Yeah, I’ll just Cure Wounds us, and then we can—

1:38:28 Brennan: Yeah, you know that there's a way to do it, but the amount of knowledge required to be able to do that is beyond the scope of imagination. That's Pete, that's your turn. Or that's your check. Any, and then you also have a bonus action if you want.

1:38:46 Ally: Great. Yeah, I would like to call Nod.

1:38:48 Brennan: Cool, what does Pete say?

1:38:49 Ally: I say,

1:38:50 Pete: Nod, on your way in here, try to find out what other runes we need to know! In your infinite wisdom from the dream world! [gentle, dream-like music]

1:38:59 Brennan: Nod appears. Everybody regains a spell slot of the highest level they are able to cast.

1:39:06 Zac: Oh my God!

1:39:06 Lou: So you're telling me that a second level, I get a second fifth level...

1:39:09 Brennan: You get a fifth, everyone that can cast fifth level...

1:39:11 Siobhan: Everybody gets a spell!

1:39:12 Brennan: Nod appears and the raw power of the dream realm courses through everybody, everyone gets a spell slot of their highest one.

1:39:19 Ally: Nod is Oprah. [laughs] Everyone look under your seats! You get a spell!

1:39:25 Siobhan: Oh my God, I got an Impreza!

1:39:27 Nod: I'm the most powerful child there has ever been.

1:39:30 Pete: True.

1:39:32 Brennan: Cool. That's gonna be Nod, Hmm, hmm, hmm. Nod acknowledges that, Nod's gonna make a roll. Make an Insight check.

1:39:43 Ally: Great. Not good. 7.

1:39:49 Brennan: Nod seems to have the information that, or a piece of the information that you asked Nod to get before coming here. And you see that they look very sad.

1:39:59 Ally: Can I Mind Link with them?

1:40:00 Brennan: Yes.

1:40:01 Pete: What is up? What's going on, Nod?

1:40:05 Nod: The phylactery, we're already inside, we cannot see the outside of it.

1:40:11 Brennan: You see that Nod is busy sort of channeling magic, but is going to tell you, but is like, it's hard to communicate the information. But Nod does appear, you all get that spell slot. And it's time for another spin! [Siobhan sings carousel music]

1:40:26 Zac: What a turn. [laughs]

1:40:27 Brennan: What a turn! I know, this combat, right?

1:40:30 Lou: Yeah, what a turn! [groans]

1:40:32 Sofia: Oy, oy!

1:40:33 Ally: Are you okay? Are you okay?

1:40:36 Lou: Blood, blood, blood. [pretends blood is coming out of his mouth]

1:40:40 Brennan: You guys see Alejandro is knocked prone over here at the very edge.

1:40:46 Lou: Even with Bless?

1:40:47 Brennan: Hm?

1:40:48 Lou: Even with Bless?

1:40:49 Brennan: Even with Bless.

1:40:51 Lou: [whispering] I had to fuckin', I Blessed that man.

1:40:53 Ally: This is the most insane tableau. Like with the characters here, there's like, Santa on a riser.

1:41:00 Zac: Stephen Sondheim with two swords.

1:41:01 Ally: Two broadswords!

1:41:05 Brennan: That is going to be...

1:41:07 Emily: Do you have a mini for Ruth Bader Ginsberg? Can we summon her? One of the heroes?

1:41:10 Brennan: I mean, it's too risky to bring her to this battle.

1:41:13 Ally: Yeah, absolutely not. [laughs]

1:41:15 Lou: Also, if RBG…

1:41:16 Emily: Oh God.

1:41:16 Siobhan: Oh, no.

1:41:17 Ally: [praying hands] Once again. Rest in Power.

1:41:21 Siobhan: Let's take a moment to pray for the soul of Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

1:41:23 Zac: Who is still alive.

1:41:24 Siobhan: [praying hands] And more importantly, the body of Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Brennan shakes a big handful of dice, then rolls.

1:41:28 Murph: Yipes, who's getting shot?

1:41:32 Brennan: [whispering] 12, 30, 33. Kingston takes 41 points of damage.

1:41:39 Lou: Mm-hmm.

1:41:39 Murph: What are you at?

1:41:40 Zac: Are you still standing?

1:41:41 Lou: Yeah. I'm at 33.

1:41:43 Zac: Okay. [blast]

1:41:44 Brennan: As he sends another rocketing ray of fire. You are partially protected by Alejandro's Protection From Good and Evil.

1:41:56 Lou: That went away.

1:41:57 Brennan: Oh, that's right, that went away, that's right, yep. You are not protected from that. You see Alejandro stands up. Alejandro stands up, looks at you, bloodied and bludgeoned, he goes,

1:42:15 Alejandro: My friend! [laughs] This tilt-a-whirl is no joke!

1:42:19 Brennan: And yells out at you, the angel immolates, destroys these rats.

1:42:27 Murph: No! [blast]

1:42:30 Brennan: Turns to look at Alejandro. Its eyes, whoom, go bright. Alejandro looks up to meet the angel's gaze. A ray of light erupts from its open eyes. Alejandro is hit in the chest, sent backwards into the tornado, and is gone.

1:42:53 Siobhan: [whispers] Fuck! [ambient music]

1:43:02 Ally: We can see him mid-fall?

1:43:04 Brennan: He is destroyed.

1:43:07 Zac: Oh! [whooshing]

1:43:12 Brennan: You see the magic woven into his coat, and the last thing you see is the golden glint of his eye. [whooshing] Which lingers in the air a moment after he is gone. The angel turns to you and says,

1:43:28 American Dream: There can be no life for those who would stand against me. Submit or face the same fate.

1:43:39 Brennan: That is going to be Willy's turn. Two, three four. [blast] Stands here. Stands in the middle of the platform facing the angel, lifts a giant brick fist and flips off the angel in the sky.

1:43:59 Willy: Go fuck yourself, chew my brick asshole, you prick bitch!

1:44:04 Brennan: Willy moves there. That's going to be Rowan.

1:44:08 Siobhan: Is there any way for me using Esther's steps to get within 60 feet of the angel?

1:44:13 Brennan: You'd have to make an Acrobatics check to get up there.

1:44:15 Siobhan: Oh yeah, Acrobatics, yeah, I can do that. That's fine.

1:44:18 Brennan: Okay, it's gonna be a DC20 acrobatics check.

1:44:20 Siobhan: Okay, so I just need to get a 9 or higher. I do not get a 9 or higher, I get a 6.

1:44:27 Brennan: You do have that inspo from your boy Sondheim.

1:44:28 Siobhan: I do have that inspo from my boy Sondheim! Siobhan rolls her Bardic Inspiration, then shakes her head a little bit.

1:44:34 Brennan: Not gonna do it?

1:44:35 Zac: How close are you?

1:44:37 Siobhan: Yeah, I got an 18, so I needed to get a 20.

1:44:43 Brennan: You need to get a 20. You get up part of the way.

1:44:45 Siobhan: Okay.

1:44:46 Brennan: You're up here.

1:44:47 Siobhan: That's fine. So can I then cast Puppet?

1:44:52 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

1:44:53 Siobhan: I would like to attempt to cast Puppet on the angel, which is a Constitution saving throw.

1:44:58 Brennan: Okay. He succeeds.

1:45:06 Siobhan: Well fuck me. Is the door still open or now Alejandro is gone, is the door gone?

1:45:12 Brennan: The portal is gone. [sound of flame] [spooky music]

1:45:15 Siobhan: Okay. In which case… [sighs] Okay. I am going to turn to Pete, and be like,

1:45:34 Rowan: That was really cool what you just did. [sound of shimmering]

1:45:38 Siobhan: And give Pete Bardic Inspiration.

1:45:39 Pete: Oh, thank you! [laughs] Fuck!

1:45:41 Rowan: You look really buff right now.

1:45:43 Pete: Thanks! Yeah, I have been working out for a while. It is nice to see the body change, I do feel really like myself.

1:45:50 Siobhan: I reach out to feel your pecs.

1:45:51 Ricky: It happens all at once. It's like, you don't notice.

1:45:54 Pete: It's like nothing at all, and then boom, all at once. Yeah, totally.

1:45:56 Siobhan: Biceps.

1:45:57 Pete: Yeah. [clears throat]

1:46:00 Brennan: That is Rowan's turn. Sofia, that's gonna be you.

1:46:03 Emily: Okay. Tipsy Sway, pop right back up.

1:46:07 Brennan: Five feet of movement, yep.

1:46:08 Emily: I just want to book it up, up them stairs.

1:46:13 Brennan: Rad, let's see...

1:46:14 Emily: Do I need to use Step of the Wind to get to him?

1:46:16 Brennan: You might need to do it to take a dash, yeah.

1:46:18 Emily: Yeah, okay.

1:46:19 Brennan: 'Cause let's see, 'cause your movement's 45, right?

1:46:20 Emily: Yeah. [banging] Ooh!

1:46:22 Brennan: Yeah, so yeah, you would need two movement increments to make it up there.

1:46:25 Emily: Okay. So Step of the Wind to get up to him.

1:46:28 Murph: Definitely jump off Willy. Just for flavor.

1:46:31 Emily: Okay, yeah! I go over, I leapfrog over Willy.

1:46:36 Zac: Willy didn't really do anything, could he throw her?

1:46:39 Brennan: Oh, Willy's doing a lot by not doing anything, he's granting everybody advantage on saving throws five feet around him, and preparing actions to catch people if they fly off and stuff.

1:46:48 Zac: Gotcha, gotcha.

1:46:50 Brennan: Willy's a defense player, you know what I mean?

1:46:52 Lou: Right.

1:46:54 Emily: So I get up there, so that's my bonus, right?

1:46:57 Brennan: That's your bonus.

1:46:58 Emily: Okay, so I use up my bonus. That's fine. Just for future reference, though, would disadvantage on ability checks make him have disadvantage on Constitution saving throws?

1:47:09 Brennan: It would. If you can give him disadvantage on saving throws, it would...

1:47:13 Emily: Can't right now, 'cause I used my bonus action. So I'm going to...

1:47:15 Ally: Man, that would change everything! He's passed all of my shit!

1:47:17 Emily: I want to so fuckin' bad!

1:47:19 Ally: Yeah.

1:47:20 Brennan: Rad. You, boom, boom, boom, boom! Esther's keeping the platforms there. [arcane buzzing, footsteps] Go ahead, give me just the, oh actually no, 'cause you don't have difficult terrain, right?

1:47:30 Emily: No.

1:47:31 Brennan: Cool, yeah, you get up there easily.

1:47:32 Emily: Okay. And I'm fuckin' going after him!

1:47:35 Brennan: Hell yeah.

1:47:36 Emily: Does a, okay… Does, I think this hits. Does a 16 plus, 25...

1:47:44 Brennan: 25 hits! Yes it does!

1:47:46 Emily: Okay! All right, bitch! Gonna hit him for 13 and then I would like to ki point Stunning Strike him.

1:47:55 Brennan: Cool How much damage you do real quick?

1:47:58 Emily: I did a 13.

1:48:01 Brennan: Cool. Boom, he's gonna make a save.

1:48:04 Emily: Constitution.

1:48:05 Brennan: And does he have, he doesn't have...

1:48:06 Emily: He doesn't have, I didn't get a chance to hex him, I used my bonus action getting up there.

1:48:09 Brennan: Gotcha.

1:48:13 Emily: So I couldn't ever cast a spell as a reaction, even if it was just bonus action?

1:48:17 Brennan: Correct. He saves.

1:48:19 Emily: Saves, fucker. Okay, I'm going after him again. Does a 21 hit?

1:48:26 Brennan: 21 does hit.

1:48:27 Emily: Yes!

1:48:28 Brennan: So now we know his AC, his AC is 21.

1:48:30 Murph: Okay.

1:48:31 Emily: Gonna hit him for another 7, gonna try and Stunning Strike him again!

1:48:34 Zac: Oh, do you get radiant damage on these?

1:48:36 Emily: Yeah, I'm adding them.

1:48:38 Brennan: Oh, sorry. Let me know...

1:48:40 Emily: So I hit him for another 15, sorry.

1:48:41 Brennan: Another 15, gotcha.

1:48:43 Emily: Another 15, I want to Stunning Strike him again.

1:48:47 Brennan: Cool, hold on one second.

1:48:48 Zac: I think the radiant damage might do more.

1:48:49 Siobhan: He probably has resistance to radiant damage.

1:48:52 Emily: Oh, 2 of those are radiant damage.

1:48:57 Brennan: He's gonna make another save. Passes.

1:49:00 Emily: Fucker! Okay, then I'm gonna fuckin' go at him one more time! I don't hit him. Fucker! [strikes]

1:49:08 Brennan: But you do start injuring him. He's beginning to look a lot like, he's… He's beginning to look a little bit staggered or winded.

1:49:19 Emily: Kay. [thudding]

1:49:20 Ally: We need that disadvantage thing. He has fucking advantage on everything.

1:49:25 Brennan: You see, charging up behind you, Sofia, you hear,

1:49:30 Sondheim: Never one to be outdone.

1:49:32 Brennan: Stephen Sondheim...

1:49:33 Sofia: [claps] Oh yay!

1:49:34 Brennan: Charges up, he says,

1:49:36 Sondheim: You get the back, I get the front! What do you say, Ms. Lee?

1:49:38 Sofia: Sounds good to me!

1:49:39 Siobhan: [giggles] Stupid.

1:49:40 Brennan: And Stephen Sondheim and Sofia Lee start flanking the American Dream...

1:49:45 Emily: Woo! [singing] There are giants in the sky...

1:49:47 Brennan: Fighting in the sky! Cool. 'Cause you know, you are leaping up to hit him, so you are going to, on your next turn, fall, you'll have to make Dexterity saves, there are platforms underneath you.

1:49:59 Emily: I'm aware of that. But on his turn, I'm still going to be within five feet of him.

1:50:03 Brennan: That's right, so at the beginning of your turn, you're gonna take more attacks, and then you're gonna fall. Cool. Sondheim's gonna make some attacks.

1:50:11 Emily: Is Sondheim also jumping or is he just straight up flying?

1:50:13 Brennan: No, he's jumping.

1:50:14 Emily: Whoa!

1:50:15 Brennan: Huge bounding leaps with these two broadswords.

1:50:18 Ally: He's attacking another Sondheim.

1:50:22 Siobhan: I think he's a Song or Swords bard.

1:50:24 Brennan: Yeah. [laughs] Cool.

1:50:27 Ally: Did he make attacks?

1:50:28 Brennan: He does. You see he skewers the angel for some more damage, he's like, sliding a broadsword through his chest that gleams with some of Santa's magical energy. He goes,

1:50:44 Sondheim: Sharp and cutting, that's how I like my wit and my blades! [sound of twirling blade]

1:50:50 Brennan: That is going to be Confetti. [Murph laughs]

1:50:58 Sofia: Confetti, could you just come hold me up here, so I could use my fuckin' bonus action to hex this motherfucker?

1:51:02 Ricky: Can you Tails him to Sonic?

1:51:06 Brennan: You...

1:51:07 Sofia: Confetti, you kinda owe me.

1:51:07 Siobhan: The girl in Donkey Kong 2.

1:51:10 Ally: Oh yeah.

1:51:11 Zac: Dixie?

1:51:12 Lou: She's up.

1:51:14 Brennan: You see, hold on a second. You see Don Confetti go,

1:51:19 Don Confetti: Of course, I would be completely happy to assist you in any way I can. Ha!

1:51:22 Emily: Oh shit.

1:51:25 Brennan: And flies right into the subway.

1:51:27 Siobhan: Fucking coward!

1:51:28 Emily: I forgot one thing, he has, when I, 'cause I'm a Mage Slayer, he actually has disadvantage on saving throws to make, not on saving throws, but to maintain concentration. If he has any spells that have concentration, he would have had to had disadvantage.

1:51:42 Brennan: So, make a couple saving throws, gotcha.

1:51:44 Emily: Not on saving throws, disadvantage on concentration saving throws.

1:51:48 Brennan: Gotcha.

1:51:50 Emily: In case any of these...

1:51:51 Siobhan: That's an amazing feat.

1:51:53 Brennan: It's very good. He maintains, I'm gonna need you to make a Dexterity saving throw for me. [suspenseful music]

1:51:57 Emily: Okay. [Lou laughs]

1:52:04 Emily: How's a 28 sound?

1:52:05 Brennan: You take no damage whatsoever. [Emily claps, laughs]

1:52:09 Emily: Did he just cast a spell?

1:52:12 Brennan: No, he has an active spell on him.

1:52:15 Emily: Okay. Oh, if that was a spell, I actually get advantage on saving throws against spells.

1:52:23 Brennan: Cool.

1:52:23 Emily: When I'm within five feet.

1:52:24 Brennan: Gotcha. Sondheim takes some damage. [grunts, whooshing] As light slashes into him. That's going to be...

1:52:33 Siobhan: Has Em gone?

1:52:34 Brennan: Confetti, Em is going now.

1:52:38 Murph: Confetti ran away?

1:52:40 Brennan: Confetti did run away.

1:52:41 Ally: Little fucker.

1:52:41 Zac: Of course.

1:52:43 Lou: Hey, it was a lot to hope...

1:52:44 Zac: Was she...

1:52:45 Emily: It was a nice try.

1:52:47 Zac: I wonder if she wanted to pick me up or not, but maybe I run up those stairs.

1:52:54 Siobhan: I mean, it's still pretty cool to be carried by an angel.

1:52:57 Brennan: You're actually very...

1:52:59 Zac: I may be too far away to do it.

1:53:01 Brennan: You are quite far away from where she is.

1:53:03 Sofia: Em, you could come hold me so I could have, so I don't have to use a bonus action to get up every time, and then I could hex this motherfucker and he'd get disadvantage on constitution.

1:53:12 Brennan: She actually is going to make, she flies up with a reaction, and does a little basket scoop with her legs flying underneath you.

1:53:20 Emily: Yes!

1:53:22 Brennan: That's, buh-buh-bum.

1:53:26 Emily: Love seeing an Angel just like in... [laughs]

1:53:30 Brennan: That's gonna be...

1:53:32 Siobhan: Alley-oop’ing you.

1:53:33 Emily: Yeah.

1:53:35 Brennan: These, roll a dex save for these rats over here, if you'd be so kind.

1:53:39 Murph: Oh no!

1:53:40 Lou: Oh, that's right!

1:53:41 Murph: They can't do much. 6.

1:53:43 Brennan: They are flung into oblivion.

1:53:45 Murph: Bye, guys.

1:53:47 Siobhan: It's been nice.

1:53:49 Brennan: That is... [suspenseful music]

1:53:52 Brennan: That is gonna be, 40, so these are gonna move over here. [wind whistling] Then, and actually, this is moving up, actually. Put it on a little riser. [wind whistling] That is the wind. La Gran Gata.

1:54:19 Emily: Ooh!

1:54:20 Zac: Yes!

1:54:21 Sofia: Come on, girl! Show 'em what you got! Girl, guy, I don't remember. Whatever you want to be. Here, kitty kitty. [laughs]

1:54:29 Siobhan: Pick it up and look at its butt. [Emily laughs]

1:54:33 Brennan: You see that La Gran Gata goes,

1:54:37 La Gran Gata: [growling] Mija, you're doing fine. Let's get you some help.

1:54:41 Brennan: And, whoo, [strike] turns into that whirlwind of sparkle around Ricky.

1:54:46 Emily: Yeah!

1:54:47 Brennan: It's going to help you move.

1:54:49 Zac: Okay, cool. [wind whistling]

1:54:53 Brennan: You have an extra move action on your turns.

1:54:55 Murph: Nice!

1:54:57 Brennan: So you're Hasted and have an extra move.

1:54:59 Zac: Tight, and I have Freedom of Movement.

1:55:01 Brennan: Yeah, you have Freedom of Movement. You can boogie. That's La Gran Gata, Ricky, that's you, baby.

1:55:08 Zac: Okay. Ricky is...

1:55:10 Siobhan: Take me with you!

1:55:14 Ally: Fireman's hold?

1:55:14 Emily: Yeah!

1:55:15 Zac: Do you think I could take...

1:55:16 Rowan: [cutely] Oh my god, pick me up, Mr. March!

1:55:17 Zac: I'm pretty strong. Could I move all the way to him with Freedom of Movement and whatever that thing is?

1:55:26 Brennan: So yes, you have an extra 30. So it's 60.

1:55:33 Zac: And up these steps.

1:55:35 Ally: Yeah, Haste gives you a lot.

1:55:36 Brennan: And you have, so you'd probably have to use your Haste action to take that extra action.

1:55:40 Zac: Okay.

1:55:41 Brennan: 90 can definitely get you to him.

1:55:42 Ally: Well, your speed is doubled with Haste.

1:55:44 Brennan: Oh!

1:55:45 Ally: And then you get an extra action.

1:55:46 Brennan: And you get an extra move! So you actually do 60, oh, you're, Ricky is a blinding bolt of glowing light. [wind whistling] We are having a real sky battle, gang! Ricky, you...

1:56:00 Lou: Nobody can fly.

1:56:01 Brennan: Go ahead and give me a Athletics with advantage.

1:56:05 Zac: Okay, great. Nat 20.

1:56:09 Brennan: Oh God. [cheering]

1:56:11 Lou: Oh God.

1:56:13 Brennan: Hell yeah. [placing Ricky’s mini on a big standee for height] Here we go.

1:56:14 Siobhan: Man, I hope you got more of these sticks.

1:56:15 Ally: This is some Radio Shack.

1:56:17 Zac: We're getting a great signal right now.

1:56:19 Ally: Yeah! [laughs] We're stealing so much cable!

1:56:20 Murph: You have, you have fuckign Smite back.

1:56:22 Brennan: Look at this shit, it's a fight in the sky! How do you not like that?

1:56:25 Siobhan: It's great. [footfalls]

1:56:28 Brennan: That's go, so Ricky, that's your move. That takes, that's just your movement and your extra movement, so you actually have an action and an action left.

1:56:35 Ally: Fuckin' Don Confetti.

1:56:37 Zac: I'm going to speak with my axe.

1:56:39 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

1:56:40 Zac: And just ask it, do you think I should, should I use it now?

1:56:44 Emily: Oh, you had that super secret card!

1:56:46 Brennan: You see that the questing blade says, [ambient music]

1:56:51 Axe: I would only use that power, master, in the most dire of circumstances. If you feel that the battle could yet sway in your favor, I would see you hold on.

1:57:04 Zac: I'm going to, hmm. I'll use, can I use, can I try to grapple him?

1:57:16 Brennan: Yeah, absolutely, you can try to grapple him.

1:57:18 Zac: I'm trying to decide what… Can I make a Perception check of how hurt he is?

1:57:23 Brennan: Yeah.

1:57:25 Zac: It's two 12s. 17.

1:57:29 Brennan: Cool. He's hurt. He looks hurt.

1:57:31 Zac: Okay. I'm just going to attack him, then.

1:57:37 Brennan: Dope. Go ahead and give me a Dexterity saving throw.

1:57:39 Zac: Okay. I have advantage on that. I got a 20.

1:57:48 Brennan: 20, cool. You take, 11, 17. You take 26 points of slashing damage as you enter the range of this spell by getting close to the Dream.

1:58:04 Zac: Okay.

1:58:06 Brennan: Cool. But go ahead and take your attacks.

1:58:09 Zac: Okay, so...

1:58:10 Ally: Let's go, Ricky!

1:58:12 Zac: I, [sighs] I'm trying to decide if I want to use one of those attacks to grapple him, does that make any sense? Hmm. I'm just gonna take the first two swings at him.

1:58:25 Brennan: Cool, go for it. [dramatic music]

1:58:29 Zac: That's two misses I think, 'cause a 20, no, no, 24.

1:58:34 Emily: Ooh, yeah.

1:58:35 Zac: 24 hits, right?

1:58:35 Emily: Yeah!

1:58:37 Brennan: 24 does hit, yes.

1:58:39 Zac: And I'll use the third level Divine Smite on him.

1:58:44 Brennan: Hell yeah, go for it.

1:58:46 Zac: And does it seem like it will do more damage to him?

1:58:50 Brennan: You're not sure if the radiant will do more. You're not sure.

1:58:53 Zac: So that would be third level is...

1:58:58 Brennan: Is gonna be 4d8. Yep.

1:59:01 Murph: Plus your regular attack.

1:59:02 Brennan: So it's 5d8 plus 8 damage.

1:59:04 Zac: Cool, can I have some d8s?

1:59:06 Ally: Yeah! One of the tornado minis falls over and knocks into the standees of the flying players and the American Dream. Nothing else falls over.

1:59:06 Brennan: Oh no! Wow, incredible, that could've been so much worse!

1:59:09 Ally: Do you need another one?

1:59:11 Lou: Yeah, I'm amazed that that didn't, yeah, that should've knocked down all of them.

1:59:15 Siobhan: Oh my goodness, so precarious.

1:59:17 Zac: Okay, cool. Cool. So 8, 8, plus 10, 18. Plus...

1:59:22 Lou: My middling son.

1:59:24 Emily: [craning to look at Zac’s dice] I can’t see… Oh, 5, 5, I’ll take a 5.

1:59:27 Zac: 22 plus 8, so 30.

1:59:29 Brennan: Ooh, hell yeah.

1:59:31 Zac: And yeah.

1:59:35 Brennan: Incredible. You, whah! Lay into him, badly hurt him with your first swing. That's going to, you can take your second attack.

1:59:46 Zac: I did two, my second one missed.

1:59:48 Brennan: Second one missed, first one was 30, cool.

1:59:50 Zac: Okay.

1:59:51 Brennan: And then you have your other action from Haste, I believe, right?

1:59:54 Zac: Okay. I'm going to, and to grapple, hmm.

2:00:00 Brennan: Grappling would mean you wouldn't fall.

2:00:01 Zac: Okay

2:00:01 Brennan: You could hold on to him.

2:00:04 Zac: Okay, I will grapple. I'll try to grapple him.

2:00:08 Brennan: Yeah.

2:00:09 Emily: Do you get something from Haste for strength?

2:00:12 Brennan: Go ahead and let me know what you roll for, so it's just an Athletics roll.

2:00:18 Zac: Okay.

2:00:19 Brennan: And what you need to beat is a 24.

2:00:23 Zac: [quietly] Okay. [Siobhan hums]

2:00:26 Zac: And I don't have Bardic, right? Oh, I forgot to put, okay, so my second attack was 17, Oh, even with a 4, would I hit him?

2:00:34 Murph: 21.

2:00:34 Ally: 21.

2:00:34 Siobhan: Yeah.

2:00:34 Zac: Can I just roll my Bardic just to make sure? On my second attack?

2:00:36 Siobhan: Your Bless.

2:00:37 Brennan: Yeah, sure.

2:00:38 Zac: Yeah, I got a 4.

2:00:40 Brennan: Oh, you hit him on the second one. Yeah, go for it.

2:00:42 Zac: My second attack would be 2d8.

2:00:43 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

2:00:47 Zac: That's 8 plus 8, so 16.

2:00:49 Ally: Whoa!

2:00:49 Brennan: Why is it 2d8, or are you doing another Smite?

2:00:51 Zac: That's just a regular, one, oh, whoops, so okay, 6 plus 8.

2:00:55 Brennan: 6 plus 8, 14, gotcha.

2:00:57 Zac: All right. So that hit. And now I'll do the try to grapple him.

2:01:03 Brennan: Cool.

2:01:04 Zac: Okay. So that would be, 17 plus 9.

2:01:11 Emily: [gasps] You did it!

2:01:12 Brennan: 17 plus 9, you did it! 26!

2:01:13 Siobhan: 26!

2:01:14 Ally: Great. [Emily claps]

2:01:15 Brennan: Cool, and you grab on to him, you're not going anywhere!

2:01:17 Zac: Cool.

2:01:18 Brennan: Incredible. That's gonna be another spin.

2:01:20 Lou: Nod!

2:01:23 Ally: How? As the platform is spun, it knocks into Em’s standee and nearly knocks her over.

2:01:24 Siobhan: Oop!

2:01:25 Brennan: We're good. We are good, gang.

2:01:26 Emily: [whispering to Siobhan as she tries to give a borrowed die back] Misty! Misty!

2:01:27 Zac: And then, oh, I want to yell…

2:01:29 Siobhan: [whispering to Emily] It's Rowan.

2:01:30 Emily: [whispering] Rowan, Rowan. I’m sorry.

2:01:30 Zac: To Kingston and Pete,

2:01:33 Ricky: Maybe you guys should do something together, I don't know. [laughs]

2:01:37 Lou: That's what I was thinking.

2:01:38 Siobhan: Yeah. [Emily whooshing]

2:01:39 Ally: Cool.

2:01:40 Emily: The Populi and the Phantasma.

2:01:43 Ally: We're on each side of this...

2:01:45 Brennan: As you suggest that, go ahead and make a, make an Arcana roll, or a Religion roll, either one.

2:01:53 Siobhan: Oh my God. It's a pop-tasma!

2:01:56 Ally: [whistles] 5. 8.

2:01:58 Lou: I think I'm gonna hit 15.

2:02:01 Brennan: Mkay.

2:02:02 Siobhan: You want to use your Bardic for that? Probably not, right?

2:02:04 Murph: Your Religion as a bard isn't better than...

2:02:06 Ally: Oh, I didn't use Bless though.

2:02:07 Emily: He’s a cleric, he’s a cleric.

2:02:08 Lou: My Religion is low.

2:02:10 Murph: Really?

2:02:10 Emily: Yeah, it’s only plus 2.

2:02:11 Ally: 11.

2:02:12 Murph: That's crazy.

2:02:13 Emily: I would think you would be proficient in it. Maybe you didn't choose that.

2:02:15 Lou: I didn't choose that. I chose more like city street Insight, those sorts of things.

2:02:20 Emily: Makes sense.

2:02:21 Ally: Yeah, I’ll use it. All right, what am I at? 3, 6, 5.

2:02:25 Brennan: So you're 11.

2:02:26 Lou: Adding the Bardic to the Arcana check.

2:02:27 Brennan: 10!

2:02:28 Ally: 10.

2:02:29 Brennan: 21.

2:02:29 Ally: 21.

2:02:30 Brennan: You see Sofia is currently, you see an image of the symbol of the Order of the Concrete Fist, that yin and yang between dream and the waking world. And you see that she is some figure of divine, celestial importance now. Something Sofia talked to you about the chosen one, but you think with that 21, roll of 21, if you...

2:02:58 Emily: You could come up here and create it with me!

2:02:59 Brennan: If you and Kingston were to have magic, your individual magics working on Sofia at the same time, some wild shit might go down.

2:03:07 Siobhan: [whispers] Fuck!

2:03:09 Brennan: That is, that's the, I'm gonna need...

2:03:13 Murph: Did you guys relay that?

2:03:15 Lou: Yeah.

2:03:15 Ally: Yeah, we let everyone, I can Mind Link to everyone.

2:03:19 Murph: Cool. [wind whistling]

2:03:21 Lou: Well, I have her Blessed, so I guess it would just be a matter of, if you cast something on her.

2:03:27 Brennan: So yeah, if Pete did. And this one's going counter-clockwise,

2:03:30 Murph: I'm gonna make sure she stays up.

2:03:31 Lou: Yeah.

2:03:33 Murph: So I'll do something to try to make her— Brennan tries to move the American Dream, and in the process knocks Stephen Sondheim to the ground.

2:03:34 Brennan: There we go. Oop, sorry Sondheim!

2:03:36 Lou: Sondheim!

2:03:37 Brennan: Ooh, his swords are all right!

2:03:38 Siobhan: Oh no, my baby.

2:03:39 Lou: Sondheim!

2:03:40 Brennan: Lot of risers! And then this is going this way, so, whoom.

2:03:44 Siobhan: Fuck! [whooshing]

2:03:48 Siobhan: Wait, I'm still on the platform, though. I'm not here.

2:03:51 Brennan: Hm?

2:03:51 Siobhan: I'm on the platform.

2:03:51 Emily: She's standing in the...

2:03:53 Siobhan: I'm not moving, I'm…

2:03:53 Brennan: Oh, that's right.

2:03:54 Siobhan: I'm on the platform.

2:03:55 Brennan: Yes, you're back over here on the platform, that's right, you're here. And then our boy Sondheim over here. Bada-boom.

2:04:05 Siobhan: And Santa probably is over there as well, right? 'Cause he's floating in midair.

2:04:09 Brennan: That is correct. Okay. Buh-buh-bum. That's gonna be, I will need everybody on platform so, that's gonna be Pete, Kingston, Kingston, you're within what, five feet of Willy, so you get advantage, and Kugrash, and Esther to all make rolls.

2:04:36 Emily: Is this a spell?

2:04:37 Zac: What kind of...

2:04:38 Brennan: No, this is just the spinning, this is just, these are just...

2:04:41 Murph: Dex saves?

2:04:42 Brennan: These are all Dex saves. Let me know if you roll 17 or lower.

2:04:45 Ally: 20.

2:04:46 Murph: 18.

2:04:48 Lou: Good.

2:04:48 Brennan: Good? Cool. We're gonna roll for Esther. [sucks in a breath] Esther is flung back.

2:04:59 Siobhan: Oh fuck!

2:05:00 Emily: Get in there, Willy!

2:05:03 Lou: How flung back?

2:05:04 Brennan: We're gonna see, she's first of all going to make a Dexterity save. She fails. [Emily gasps]

2:05:09 Siobhan: Fuck!

2:05:11 Brennan: We're gonna see… Willy is going to make a check, this is gonna be a Box of Doom roll.

2:05:26 Emily: Oh my God.

2:05:27 Siobhan: Fuck! Ricky!

2:05:32 Ally: She liked you the whole time! [laughs] Oh no!

2:05:38 Brennan: Willy is going to grab Esther. It's got to hit her AC, which is 15. He gets a plus 8. On a 7 or higher, Willy will grab her. [suspenseful music]

2:05:50 Siobhan: Can you get ready to Bend Luck?

2:05:55 Ally: I can’t.

2:05:57 Brennan: 2. There’s a brief moment of stunned silence as the players sit down. Zac has a hangdog expression.

2:05:59 Siobhan: [whispering] Fuck!

2:06:02 Emily: Can I Mage Hand to her, no I don't have an action!

2:06:04 Murph: I can grab her if she's only falling within 30 feet, maybe.

2:06:10 Ally: You have 2, even with 4 would be 6, right, and she needed 7.

2:06:16 Brennan: Yeah, Willy was, needed a 7 or higher, so he was 5 away.

2:06:20 Ally: Even with Bend Luck, it wouldn't, and I'm out of sorcery, I don't have two sorcery points left, I only have one.

2:06:27 Siobhan: Yeah, and Cutting Words only detracts, you can't add.

2:06:31 Ally: Is she Blessed? No.

2:06:32 Siobhan: No.

2:06:33 Ally: Or is Willy Blessed?

2:06:34 Siobhan: No.

2:06:36 Brennan: Esther on her, begins to fall. On her next initiative order, she will be destroyed.

2:06:42 Murph: Okay.

2:06:45 Siobhan: Okay. [Brian sighs]

2:06:47 Brennan: Vwoom! Willy,

2:06:48 Willy: Aah!

2:06:51 Brennan: Misses. I'm going to need [suspenseful music]

2:06:57 Brennan: Ricky and Sofia to make Dexterity saving throws.

2:07:04 Emily: Okay.

2:07:04 Brennan: Against a magical effect.

2:07:05 Emily: Okay. Okay. 21.

2:07:15 Zac: 19.

2:07:17 Brennan: 19, okay.

2:07:19 Siobhan: [whispers] Jesus Christ.

2:07:24 Brennan: [whispers] 5, 9, 15, 17. Sofia, you take 12 points of damage.

2:07:34 Emily: Is this halved...

2:07:35 Brennan: This is halved.

2:07:36 Emily: 'Cause Evasion would mean I don't take any.

2:07:37 Brennan: No, you failed the save.

2:07:37 Emily: Oh, really?

2:07:38 Brennan: So you're taking 12, you take half, yeah.

2:07:40 Ally: 21 failed it?

2:07:41 Brennan: 21 failed it.

2:07:42 Emily: So how much do I take, 12?

2:07:43 Brennan: 12, you take 25, Ricky.

2:07:46 Ally: How are you looking?

2:07:48 Zac: I have 30.

2:07:51 Brennan: Sondheim's looking messed up. [magical blast]

2:07:54 Zac: And this was a, not like an attack at someone else, right?

2:07:59 Emily: Oh, was this a spell that he did?

2:08:01 Brennan: This is a Legendary Action that he did.

2:08:04 Emily: Okay.

2:08:05 Brennan: But you, I think you will get an attack of opportunity.

2:08:07 Emily: Okay, so I'm deciding whether or not to use my reaction right now.

2:08:09 Brennan: Okay. That's going to be...

2:08:15 Emily: Wait, so you said I could use my attack of opportunity.

2:08:17 Brennan: You can if you want. If you want to.

2:08:18 Emily: Yeah, I do.

2:08:18 Brennan: Cool. [sighs] Does not hit. Yeah, it doesn't hit. Fuck.

2:08:25 Ally: Bless?

2:08:26 Emily: I was Blessed, I got it.

2:08:29 Brennan: Kingston, it is your turn.

2:08:32 Lou: You can't do all of that and then do that. All right. [sighs] There's much too much going on. First, I'm gonna look at Santa and say, and then point to Esther and say,

2:08:48 Kingston: Handle that.

2:08:48 Brennan: Mm-hmm.

2:08:50 Lou: Then I'm going to step on top of the platform, extend my hand up and cast, how far, how much distance is between me and everyone up there? If I'm standing at the highest possible, if I'm standing up here. Or as close as I possibly can be. 60 feet is what I am wondering.

2:09:12 Brennan: Is what you need, right?

2:09:12 Lou: Yeah.

2:09:19 Brennan: No.

2:09:20 Lou: No?

2:09:20 Brennan: No.

2:09:20 Siobhan: Climb up, those steps.

2:09:23 Lou: Oh, no way. I'm a...

2:09:26 Emily: If Esther goes away, isn't that, aren't those steps gonna go away?

2:09:29 Lou: I mean, well, I can't save Esther. And I also, I don't know, my Athletics is plus 1.

2:09:37 Sofia: What else are you gonna do? Or Acrobatics, how's your Acrobatics, also bad?

2:09:41 Lou: Also plus 1.

2:09:42 Siobhan: Okay.

2:09:44 Murph: Well, what is the Acrobatics to climb a stair instead of getting all the way up there?

2:09:48 Ally: Like Esther's stairs.

2:09:49 Lou: What would it take to get to within 60?

2:09:53 Brennan: I think I've been saying DC20, right?

2:09:55 Siobhan: Yeah, so you'd have to get a 19 or 20.

2:10:00 Lou: Hmm, okay.

2:10:02 Murph: What are you trying to do, Healing Word?

2:10:03 Lou: I have Mass Healing Word, but I have to be within 60 feet.

2:10:06 Siobhan: I mean, maybe this is the time for some Divine Intervention.

2:10:11 Lou: I mean, for who, Esther?

2:10:14 Murph: Although you got that thing with Pete, right? Should you ready an action?

2:10:17 Lou: I'm already Blessing Sofia, so she's already under my kind of magic.

2:10:22 Siobhan: Oh right.

2:10:24 Lou: You know what? I'm gonna hit, I'm gonna ready a, I'm gonna ready a second level Guiding Bolt to hit the Dream at the same time that Sofia does.

2:10:42 Brennan: Only because it is a matter of public record at this point, I am going to chime in, just 'cause I don't want everyone to feel like I dicked you guys over and was a bad DM, Esther is next in the initiative order. That's all I'm just gonna...

2:10:56 Murph: Not, oh, okay.

2:10:58 Siobhan: Oh.

2:10:58 Zac: Could you get to her and try to grab her?

2:11:01 Lou: Can I, I mean, can I?

2:11:03 Brennan: There's a risk that you would go in after her, but yeah, you absolutely could.

2:11:06 Lou: I have to try.

2:11:07 Emily: Yeah.

2:11:10 Brennan: And then there's also the extremely small, you know, there's the Divine Intervention, but...

2:11:13 Lou: Of course.

2:11:13 Brennan: Of course.

2:11:14 Lou: But I can use that if I need to.

2:11:18 Ally: What's Divine Intervention?

2:11:19 Lou: I ask God to help me, of New York City. What is the, what's the...

2:11:25 Brennan: You can make it there in your movement and just go to try to reach her. This is gonna be another Box of Doom roll. You're trying to hit, it's just proficiency plus one of your physical, so strength or dexterity.

2:11:39 Lou: Both 1.

2:11:39 Brennan: Both 1?

2:11:41 Lou: So 5.

2:11:42 Brennan: And her AC is 15.

2:11:45 Murph: 10 or higher.

2:11:49 Ally: Come on, Kingston!

2:11:53 Lou: Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm. Yeah, okay.

2:11:56 Ally: Are you Bardic or anything?

2:11:57 Lou: No.

2:11:58 Zac: Could I give him my lucky point? Just as flavor, it's my last lucky point?

2:12:04 Brennan: This is true love, isn't it? [Lou laughs quietly, and runs his hand through his hair]

2:12:07 Zac: [big smile] I think it would help, yeah.

2:12:09 Brennan: Let's see what this first roll is before we start talking about lucky points. 10 or higher. 19! [suspenseful music]

2:12:17 Ally: Yes, okay, woo! [Ally claps] [Emily sighs]

2:12:20 Siobhan: Jesus Christ.

2:12:21 Ally: We're back in business!

2:12:22 Brennan: Willy goes, sees Esther about to fall,

2:12:26 Willy: Kingston!

2:12:27 Brennan: Wah, his brick hand misses. You move, you move with a spryness and agility unbecoming, but you hear the voices behind you going,

2:12:40 Voices: [whispers] Come on, Kingston. You gotta look out for us.

2:12:43 Brennan: Whoom, bam! And grasp her in a double forearm as her feet trail off into space.

2:12:50 Emily: Ooh!

2:12:51 Lou: Oh God.

2:12:52 Brennan: That is your, that is your movement and I'm gonna say your action as well.

2:12:57 Lou: Okay.

2:12:58 Brennan: You have a bonus action.

2:12:59 Lou: Oh, duh-duh-duh, duh-duh-duh. I think that's going to be, I think that's, I think that's going to be, yes, I think that's it. I'm sorry, yeah.

2:13:08 Brennan: Cool. Esther… Esther pulls herself up. Just again like tears streaming like, [heavy breathing] and you see that, swirling in the tornado, [whistling wind] that little glimmer of gold appears one last time, and a little chuckle. [Alejandro laughing] And a voice say,

2:13:35 Alejandro: She'll be good for the Society, my friend. I'm off to see my darling wife. [sad music]

2:13:44 Kingston: Goodbye, friend.

2:13:45 Alejandro: Goodbye, friend.

2:13:48 Brennan: You pull Esther up, Esther for her action goes,

2:13:52 Esther: I've fucking had it!

2:13:54 Brennan: Whoom! And on all five of these squares, she makes some of those force field plates that are like, [thudding] that bin you guys in so that no one can get flung off of that wall.

2:14:06 Ally: Cool.

2:14:07 Sofia: Good to have you back, Esther!

2:14:09 Esther: [pained yelling] Love you, girl! That was a close call!

2:14:11 Sofia: Oh my God, I'm here for you!

2:14:14 Brennan: I'm going to need Pete to, who has summoned Nod here to roll a 1d4 for me.

2:14:20 Ally: 4.

2:14:25 Brennan: Every spellcaster, every, so, Kugrash, Pete, Misty...

2:14:32 Siobhan: Rowan.

2:14:33 Brennan: And Kingston, so sorry. Kugrash, Pete, Rowan, and Kingston each regain a fourth level spell slot. Ricky regains a second level spell slot. If you have spell slots that you've spent, you regain a first level...

2:14:44 Zac: I haven't.

2:14:45 Brennan: Cool, so you don't gain anything. And Nod floats up to this platform, looks at you all and says,

2:14:51 Nod: Trust in the power of dreams to deliver you in these dark times. Destroy this angel, I hate his stupid guts, he's a butthead.

2:15:00 Brennan: And that's going...

2:15:03 Ally: Can I link with, Mind Link with Nod and ask what was going on, what was the bummer?

2:15:08 Brennan: Nod looks at you and says, [ambient music]

2:15:14 Nod: To destroy the phylactery would require a knowledge of the outside of this realm. That knowledge evades us while we are trapped in here, and if we leave, we will lose the opportunity to act as the fate of the battle inside of this spell will resolve. Meaning, if we were to leave to find the phylactery on the outside, it would be too late.

2:15:37 Pete: But does anyone within this spell know it?

2:15:41 Nod: There is a way for ones within this spell to know anything.

2:15:46 Pete: How?

2:15:48 Brennan: They look over at Kugrash. [soft music]

2:15:51 Ally: [gasps] The bagel! [grabs Murph’s arm] Okay! Fuck yeah.

2:15:58 Brennan: That is Nod. With that, we are going to take a pause, a pause that will sadly have to span episodes. Thank you all very much...

2:16:12 Ally: You're kidding!

2:16:14 Brennan: Thank you all very much for watching this episode of The Unsleeping City. Looking at you from in between all these little bars.

2:16:20 Ally: I can't go home!

2:16:23 Emily: Yeah, we stay here 'til we finish this, you coward!

2:16:26 Brennan: Tune in next week for the thrilling conclusion of The Unsleeping City.

2:16:30 Siobhan: Fuck you, Brennan.

2:16:31 Brennan: You guys want some more dice? [threateningly lifts a handful] [NEXT EPISODE - Episode 17: Times Squaremageddon Pt. 2] [NEXT TIME ON DIMENSION 20]

2:16:34 Brennan: The American Dream looks hurt, but not nearly on its last legs. [gasps]

2:16:42 Robert: [evil laughter] Guess the cat's out of the bag, kid.

2:16:45 Brennan: See Kugrash pull the bagel out of his bag.

2:16:49 Emily: What?

2:16:50 Brennan: I'm actually going to need everybody but Zac to please adjourn to the green room.

2:16:55 Siobhan: What the hell is happening?

2:16:56 Ally: What the fuck?

2:16:57 Lou: Oh man! This is wild! [dramatic music swells]
