00:03:11: The answers were like basic questions.

00:03:13: That's why it was just like.

00:03:14: clearly this is step one in the interview process.

00:03:16: Do or do not cuss out the customer

00:03:21: Only if they make me man

00:03:23: on A good day absolutely.

00:03:27: So This brings a question.

00:03:30: What's the weirdest shit you've done in an interview?

00:03:34: Or like, I know that we talked about multiple interview processes before and have been through plenty of those.

00:03:41: but what is one thing...what part of an interview will never forget?

00:03:45: That's how i feel about my place.

00:03:47: their interviewing right now.

00:03:49: it was pretty rigorous when i got hired..i think i had four separate interviews back then And that's when they like really needed people and now their standards are way, way higher.

00:04:01: Yeah...they

00:04:03: turned me down.

00:04:06: Fun fact I was not good enough!

00:04:09: They turn me down too Tim.

00:04:12: They're very rigorous right?

00:04:16: Well guess how lucky i'm in here because any kid would get hired.

00:04:20: Now

00:04:22: they put you into a room with three dudes in the knife.

00:04:24: They're like, all right let's see who makes it.

00:04:26: Three dudes and a knife?

00:04:27: I was like alright build a solar panel And sell it to a company in bulk.

00:04:33: You know my hole.

00:04:34: can we use team?

00:04:37: The biggest problem i had when he came To this solar printer building It wasn't the collection of the solar energy.

00:04:42: it Was the conversion.

00:04:43: I forgot to convert it Into usable electricity for household use.

00:04:46: I ended up blowing Up that house.

00:04:49: I just built A solar difference Weird.

00:04:52: So wait,

00:04:53: don't

00:04:53: destroy the Earth?

00:04:55: Yeah I thought solar death ray is what we were going for.

00:04:59: oh saving the earth.

00:05:00: that's way different.

00:05:01: actually Wait

00:05:01: so the solar...I

00:05:02: went to college for four years trying to figure out how to destroy the planet and now you're just like That's not gonna work.

00:05:10: So i'm guessing you got stopped at the Solar Death Ray too.

00:05:12: huh Jake We only know pain.

00:05:21: Slightly off topic.

00:05:21: Have you guys heard the story of... I think it was in Australia, but there's this architect built a massive skyscraper somewhere.

00:05:34: And at one point during a different season, then it was built.

00:05:46: A car randomly caught on fire and melted... And they were like- What the hell happened?

00:05:51: Then they cleaned up!

00:05:52: The next day of this same fucking thing happened.

00:05:54: They're like, ummm... what's going on?

00:05:57: It turns out that the geometry of windows just focused light into a laser and lit one particular parking spot in to death zone Car.

00:06:12: yeah,

00:06:12: no it's even stupider than that because if I'm remembering this correctly again.

00:06:17: I'm sure somebody will tell us If i'm not but It was in Australia Again one of the hottest areas In The god.

00:06:25: damn well That Was the first issue.

00:06:26: think

00:06:26: they built?

00:06:27: It was a museum that They Built But it wasn't just Windows.

00:06:31: They Literally Covered the Thing and chrome.

00:06:33: oh my God I forgot

00:06:34: that bitch.

00:06:36: Yeah,

00:06:36: just yeah.

00:06:38: You know I guess they built it on a sunny day and didn't think anything would happen.

00:06:42: Two months later oh my gosh we built death a little

00:06:45: death ray

00:06:46: as you do.

00:06:48: Sees this dude

00:06:51: Did insurance cover the car?

00:06:52: that's the real question?

00:06:54: No Well he should have known The Death Ray was there.

00:06:59: It's a giant chrome plating in the middle of a chrome-plated building.

00:07:02: In the middle off of Australia, why'd you park

00:07:06: it?

00:07:06: Have you contacted The Architect and the engineer at the Building?

00:07:09: because maybe they can help cover that cost.

00:07:12: Unfortunately I don't really have any interesting interview processes.

00:07:16: most of my interviews are like Hey these are my qualifications Can i work here?

00:07:21: And They've mostly just been Like yeah sure

00:07:24: Sounds good.

00:07:26: Step right in sir Here is your gun

00:07:28: Yeah, and I take the gun always.

00:07:30: Oh yeah,

00:07:30: last

00:07:31: time!

00:07:31: I take a gun to leave the cannoli Which is normally wrong because they want you to take the cannolee and leave the gun.

00:07:39: but why would i know that?

00:07:42: It's hard it turned down in good cannoli

00:07:45: Right?!

00:07:46: If ya have one.

00:07:47: But also if you ever had a loaded gun

00:07:52: So could... Could I have both?

00:07:54: Is that it?

00:07:54: They're

00:07:54: like NO!

00:07:56: You can't God.

00:07:58: And then I shoot them with a gun.

00:08:01: Have you guys seen like the, oh if Matrix was today and it's that your one pill will see you in the world as truly is?

00:08:12: Yeah!

00:08:13: The other pill you lived alive before he finished... Give me another

00:08:21: just

00:08:22: give to me now please!

00:08:27: Yeah, I remember watching The Matrix and there was that guy that like betrayed them.

00:08:31: And it's all the agents promised him a life where he would forget everything and who'd be wealthy in success for him?

00:08:36: Like, I don't know how you don't take that shit!

00:08:40: It's back where your seeing world of humans are living... ...and they're eating gruel and just every thing else is like.

00:08:48: oh okay now i can understand why people were frustrated.

00:08:56: I wonder if the movie holds up still.

00:08:59: First one?

00:08:59: Still fun!

00:09:00: Yeah, yeah...I don't remember anything after two so....

00:11:09: All right Jake we're going to Earth because...

00:11:13: Because i want a gun!

00:11:17: I think it's an earth in the universe.

00:11:20: yes

00:11:20: yeah

00:11:21: oh my gosh let's go to earth and get guns and bring them back

00:11:24: or we can visit that one wizard on the sun thus just chilling out there.

00:11:29: That's my boy

00:11:31: Good old Pathfinder lore all.

00:11:32: Now they're another cool thing from somebody else.

00:11:36: school one thing from your level fourteen.

00:11:40: I Will go.

00:11:41: so honestly, there's a couple of our things but this would actually just to make it more resilient that I picked resilient shell Which means that?

00:11:52: I get resistance five physical damage.

00:11:55: My idol is so

00:11:56: nice.

00:11:57: I was like in the thick of combat.

00:11:58: He's getting as well as physical attacks, you know whatever but five damage off each time.

00:12:04: Wow

00:12:05: okay?

00:12:05: So it's yeah That's awesome.

00:12:07: It's.

00:12:08: what are they equivalent of?

00:12:09: like hardness basically?

00:12:10: or yeah

00:12:12: Like whatever Benson had a base guy for his full plate.

00:12:15: You wish you had with Benson head.

00:12:18: true you wish All right, what else?

00:12:23: So I as an exemplar got a class feet because it is class feat time and all the exemplar feats are so Epically named.

00:12:34: this one's called destined victory.

00:12:37: And what's awesome?

00:12:38: Is like has to be imbued into the worn icons.

00:12:41: That's good.

00:12:42: It could be imbued in two the victors crown, so there's like you know a thing.

00:12:46: yeah

00:12:49: So the eminence, so like I don't really have very many eminences which is kind of a passive effect on basically anything but my attacking weapon icon.

00:13:00: So that finally has something... That's another Passive on my Warnite card Which is fun!

00:13:07: Whenever an enemy successfully strikes me with a melee weapon i gain a plus two status bonus To my ac against the next attack from that enemy before the start of your next turn.

00:13:20: So if an enemy hits like hit me once and he's basically decided.

00:13:24: Oh, I'm gonna attack this person i get a plus two to the AC for that next attack and all attacks after from that preacher.

00:13:33: So like, you know?

00:13:34: All those stupid combos with those Scarlet Triads...

00:13:38: They have a lot of combo things!

00:13:39: Yeah

00:13:40: yeah I can imagine- Like i have an AC of thirty six right now.

00:13:43: That's my base AC.

00:13:44: okay With shield up is thirty eight.

00:13:47: If they try hit me when I had this up And my shield up forty.

00:13:52: Try

00:13:52: to hit me Jake

00:13:54: Just try

00:13:56: And then the transcendence I'm going to save in my back pocket because Jake is.

00:14:02: Jake's just gonna hate you for the rest of this campaign, so this character dies.

00:14:08: So good, I'll tell you the name of it.

00:14:09: It's called only You and I.

00:14:12: Oh that's cute.

00:14:13: oh

00:14:15: It's so Wicked like it is so awful for your like for the game mechanics.

00:14:22: its I don't know.

00:14:23: i feel Like he might.

00:14:24: uh you might ban it.

00:14:26: We'll see if I have to nerf Garn here.

00:14:30: Kelly?

00:14:32: All right, a lot of options.

00:14:33: Here i did take A very cool Spell but i'll use that when i Have Use for it.

00:14:40: so For class Feets i had a Lot Of good Options Here.

00:14:43: i could've gone Another Barbarian feet To give me Myself some more HP But i wasn't really Feeling much of the Much of those.

00:14:50: So i went with another Sorcerer Feet.

00:14:51: so It was basically Between Quick and Casting Which is awesome, you know.

00:14:58: Yeah

00:14:58: yeah but it's only once per day.

00:15:01: I Could definitely get some good use out of that.

00:15:03: But instead i went for signature spell expansion.

00:15:06: so It lets me have two additional Signature spells up level three or lower.

00:15:13: So basically um Yeah, just was able to make a couple Spells That i had down there that i don't use quite as often but Have really Good Heightened abilities Yeah, and it also allowed.

00:15:29: I also retrained a spell Because when I heightened one of them.

00:15:37: I didn't need in another slot

00:15:38: where I had it.

00:15:39: so

00:15:40: Gotcha little shiftin around there.

00:15:42: It's

00:15:42: a little real reorg with my of my Abilities at one of those.

00:15:47: gonna piss you off.

00:15:48: So pretty excited

00:15:49: about that one.

00:15:51: Okay Well before we get into the story A little flashback.

00:16:02: Tim, give me something

00:16:04: that is a what like tragic?

00:16:10: All right all right

00:16:12: Give you

00:16:12: can't get me

00:16:13: something of that nature.

00:16:14: Let's see we got on the tragedy.

00:16:28: As the seam pans out to a day of overcast with the feeling of rain and the winds humidity saturates The air leading to a much worse clothing for those outside.

00:16:39: do the indifference of nature.

00:16:40: There was only one living soul feeling the effects.

00:16:44: A voice calls out,

00:16:46: come on where the fuck is it?

00:16:50: Rubble has pushed about turning soft hands into bloody blisters as a lone figure rummages through a large pile

00:16:58: of stone.

00:17:00: that stone Was once part of a tower That he knows but hopefully hold the answer to his demanding problem.

00:17:06: No It WILL Hold The Answer!

00:17:09: A solution To a horrific Problem He Needs To Solve.

00:17:13: Another large rock is pushed, and the low cracking sound of a wooden beam sunders making figure curse the sky again.

00:17:22: God's damn it all!

00:17:24: Ambrose.

00:17:25: Bloody

00:17:26: beaten... And out-of-breath slumps to side holding his head where our cracked horn inspires a wish to simply rip the damseling off It as an irritation.

00:17:37: An itch that rolls through him alongside cracked ribs

00:17:41: burns

00:17:41: An overwhelming fatigue from a lack of food

00:17:45: and sleep.

00:17:45: His elegant clothes are ripped, and slashed, stained red with his own blood The color – A reminder to the previous night.

00:17:55: As each time he closes eyes There is an image of sword aimed at chest.

00:18:02: He pauses Struggling for breath

00:18:05: before elu-

00:18:06: He pausesss struggling for breath Before using large staff as fulcrum To push aside another portion

00:18:13: stone.

00:18:16: A shimmer of a brass hoop on well-covered trapdoor shines in the limited light, appearing to him like a beacon.

00:18:25: Turning back he shouts to seemingly

00:18:28: no one... It is fine!

00:18:29: You'll be fine Luca.

00:18:31: I got it you will see.

00:18:33: The smile forms his lips as this slip of madness begins take hold.

00:18:38: Hoisting and pushing He does what can declare an opening wide enough To access the secret room.

00:18:45: As his hand reaches toward the handle of the trapdoor, dangerous arcane markings begin to form.

00:18:52: But at grace with whatever day he watches over him, he hurls himself to safety behind a large piece of rubble as an arc of electricity shoots out in every direction After the crackle subsides and the dusting of broken

00:19:06: rocks settles

00:19:08: His head pokes backout to check if danger had

00:19:10: passed.

00:19:15: Tentatively He steps forward muttering a prayer before his fingers

00:19:19: gripped

00:19:19: the handle.

00:19:21: There is no arcing electricity this time, after all, a chain lightning trap has only one use.

00:19:29: Clearing enough of a gap he shoves the staff in and pries the door open just

00:19:34: enough.

00:19:39: Ambrose takes a breath and jumps down into the dimly lit corridor.

00:19:46: as Ambros lands on the floor we-the audience however See him much younger.

00:19:53: His small, childlike frame is hunched over as if sneaking into a place he knows you should not be.

00:19:59: He simply cannot keep himself away after learning that the court wizard has a secret

00:20:05: dungeon.

00:20:06: However

00:20:07: no matter how many times he attempts to stealthy entrance it always ends the same.

00:20:12: Masta Ambrose I must ask

00:20:14: you not to follow me!

00:20:16: He hears the voice clearly.

00:20:18: A shock comes over along with a hint of disappointment, as he was using his newly learned spell Invisibility.

00:20:26: How did you see me?

00:20:28: With a slight grin she merely looks down at him with the barest hint of amusement.

00:20:33: Invisibilty does not take away your footsteps.

00:20:36: You must learn this Now.

00:20:42: her face contorts

00:20:43: back into

00:20:43: annoyance.

00:20:45: Leave me be.

00:20:45: I am assisting your father on serious matter a new one much too young

00:20:50: for this.

00:20:52: We shift back to Ambrose, who stands in the same place at his current age.

00:20:58: Too Young?

00:20:59: Well look it is here now!

00:21:01: After grabbing a torch he feels his face fall...

00:21:05: Well worthy of Cynthia did you make

00:21:08: it?!

00:21:09: His voice feels dampened within the small room.

00:21:12: It's nothing grandiose just a twenty foot chamber riddled with scrolls

00:21:17: books

00:21:18: and work table and a few trinkets that give him an uneasy feeling.

00:21:22: Almost as if his heart is being gripped by an unseen force, however...that's precisely how he knows it going in the right

00:21:30: direction.".

00:21:32: He remembers something of the spells she vaguely mentioned at times…as well as a few artifacts she collected on her travels.

00:21:39: Of course..she kept them hidden chambers to prevent half-devil from getting too curious!

00:21:45: What was the word used once?

00:21:47: Ah yes….forbidden but forbidden is what he needs.

00:21:53: Book after book, scroll after scroll!

00:21:56: He leaps through the arcane divine papers sifting though it can to see with his usable history.

00:22:02: spells demonology divinity It's all here including a few rituals involving higher level spells far out of this league perfect.

00:22:14: A book is

00:22:14: picked up

00:22:15: by small pair hands.

00:22:18: young Ambrose glances at cover.

00:22:20: Satya,

00:22:21: could you

00:22:22: bring back the dead?

00:22:24: He opens this conversation after a successful infiltration into the library.

00:22:29: She suits him a glance before seeing a child who is more worried than a curious

00:22:34: troublemaker... Like, I know Mathias has

00:22:37: given off

00:22:38: to fight in Champions of Ayyamidae but what if he

00:22:40: gets...?

00:22:42: There's pause as if words haunt them before coming out with simple hurt or look softens.

00:22:50: bitmore Nothing is going to happen.

00:22:53: He's merely a squire for one of the champions.

00:22:57: There may be other world wound, but he will not be sent into front lines.

00:23:03: That Is Not Enough Of An Answer.

00:23:05: She Can See It Plain As Day On His Face Taking A Moment To Form The Words She Nots.

00:23:11: But

00:23:12: Yes!

00:23:13: There Are Certain Magics That Can Undo Death.

00:23:18: His Eyes Light Up.

00:23:20: Do You Know Them?

00:23:21: There

00:23:22: Is An Uncomfortable Silence before she merely nods, and another look of hope.

00:23:29: Of course however I will not use

00:23:32: them.".

00:23:32: The scene shifts back again to adult Ambrose.

00:23:39: his mind races as he finds the scroll.

00:23:42: strange symbols marr the surface but this is it.

00:23:46: you can feel it hell.

00:23:47: He can read the text looking through the components.

00:23:51: he scours every inch finding candles chalk in everything else required.

00:23:56: The crash of lightning causes him

00:23:58: to jump

00:23:59: as rain begins

00:24:00: to pour.

00:24:02: No,

00:24:03: no!

00:24:04: A flicker of lighting blinks through the cracks in the ceiling... ...as another crash lands nearby.

00:24:10: A dripping water turns into a steady pour.

00:24:13: He looks around at all that knowledge held in this room.

00:24:17: No This is only thing I need

00:24:19: to do.

00:24:20: Damn it!

00:24:22: Haphazardly he grabs several items and wades though the ankle deepwater.

00:24:27: His secret chamber of wizard No longer hidden by a powerful tower

00:24:33: above

00:24:34: is quickly betrayed by the sinking earth below.

00:24:38: Clamoring up the ladder to a miserable day, The world seems to flip.

00:24:46: Manic

00:24:46: slips and falls beside his companion cradling head in hands.

00:24:51: or

00:24:51: what remains of it now?

00:24:55: Parts of a skull remain as well as flecks of hair stubbornly fused to what is left

00:24:59: in the scalp.

00:25:00: He doesn't care, he IS here... Come

00:25:03: on!

00:25:04: Let's get you back okay?

00:25:06: Then we can rest and sing again….

00:25:10: For a moment his mind shudders as he drags the body towards what

00:25:13: was left at home.

00:25:15: More lightning rings down As it feels so

00:25:18: spent in bereft

00:25:19: strength that its vision

00:25:20: turns white But at least

00:25:23: they are out-of-the rain.

00:25:23: now

00:25:29: Taking out a wand, he presses it against the body and for a moment there is no longer a dirty corpse

00:25:35: but clean

00:25:36: one.

00:25:42: Tears well in his eyes as he begins to draw a circle adding shapes and symbols.

00:25:47: The candles are produced and placed at each point around the body.

00:25:58: And...the materials?

00:26:00: Gems that he swiped obsidian over the vacant hole in his chest, and sapphires on eyes.

00:26:06: For a moment He pauses, cupping up the upper jaw of the body before rage starts to flow out.

00:26:13: And you will come back!

00:26:15: You will live!

00:26:16: We'll get Matthias and we will kill.

00:26:19: His voice lowers.

00:26:21: Travel the world uprooting band.

00:26:24: Maybe join a circus, you know?

00:26:26: You could be at Strong Mandant by the magician of The Trooper away from our

00:26:31: families.".

00:26:33: His eyes close.

00:26:36: We shift to young Ambrose again.

00:26:45: He smiles.

00:26:46: Xanthea does not.

00:26:49: Messing with the realm of the dead is not wise to do so.

00:26:52: flippantly we see adult Ambroses mouth move shakily as he speaks in a low tone, and some other language.

00:27:00: The candles are lit... ...and it can feel the winds picking up!

00:27:04: The words feels so foreign on his lips.... ....as he speaks into divine tongue A cold sensation flows down

00:27:11: his throat,...

00:27:12: ...and settles in

00:27:12: his chest.

00:27:14: He can feel something coming Something powerful And something that feels SO very wrong.

00:27:20: And yet he

00:27:21: CANNOT stop.

00:27:23: All you see is this family In his eyes In Luca smiling as the morning sun rises.

00:27:31: His face shifts back to young Ambrose again, his eyes are uneasy.

00:27:39: He feels fear as a wizard looks down at him fangs revealing themselves as he shrinks back her eyes are like two

00:27:47: black

00:27:47: pools As they come back.

00:27:50: correct at all.

00:27:52: heed my words.

00:27:54: Adult Ambros kneels in agony.

00:27:56: with this head archback Ambrose tries to scream, but nothing escapes his lips.

00:28:02: It feels like his body is frozen in place.

00:28:04: as the earth below him shakes and trembles His vision goes dark.

00:28:10: We hear the words of Zantia You could wind up damning yourself!

00:28:18: Ambros awakes To sunlight.

00:28:22: His face feels like

00:28:23: fire

00:28:23: has scorched it And his body feels a lead weight In each limb.

00:28:28: Suddenly, his attention moves into circle.

00:28:31: There was only

00:28:32: ash.

00:28:32: Luca, no I did this right!

00:28:35: What the hell happened?

00:28:37: Augusta Wynn scatters it unceremoniously into the sky.

00:28:42: His hope is gone.

00:28:46: Why?

00:28:46: why?

00:28:46: what's that?

00:28:47: do wrong?

00:28:48: then he feels it Cold.

00:28:51: a chill rose

00:28:52: through him

00:28:53: as if something trying to tear out of him gripping his sides.

00:28:57: He tries to stem the sensation but it grows stronger before a ghostly hand rips out of him, almost like his soul is being torn apart.

00:29:06: He feels his muscles tense as he tries to hold himself together – there's so much pain coursing through it that half expects the pull of blood to form at its feet and yet… nothing!

00:29:19: The sensation stops and opens his eyes to see a figure in front of him.

00:29:24: Blue and hazy immediately know this figure.

00:29:29: for second it pauses before turning around.

00:29:33: He is wrong, ghostly hands move toward him and he can see the face of Luka.

00:29:39: but it's all wrong.

00:29:44: The body is gone.

00:29:46: only this visage And damning one you want to

00:29:51: save

00:29:53: Byzantium voice echoes endlessly.

00:29:58: He stands on trembling legs Only to falter in his balance.

00:30:03: Cold hands catch him instead, only for him to stare up into those glowing

00:30:07: eyes.

00:30:12: He sees now the jaw completely fused.

00:30:16: no longer can he expect to hear

00:30:18: him sing

00:30:21: and The ruins of what would have been his castle.

00:30:23: there was only

00:30:25: anguish

00:30:25: as Luca kneels down to console Him.

00:30:29: dutyful is ever from their.

00:30:35: we transition to Ambrose reading a book about bringing the dead back and realizing that it's not so easy... ...to reverse.

00:30:51: And we fade out.

00:30:51: from that moment, We just see Ambros close A book of historical knowledge of summoning The Undead.

00:31:03: And Ambrous you see That there is a ghost next To one of those ghosts You were talking too.

00:31:11: They say As you can see Duty brings them back, and it is not until their duty.

00:31:24: And perhaps yours Is complete that they may ever rest again.

00:31:33: Of course there's no shortcuts for this?

00:31:40: I'm afraid not.

00:31:42: I fear that my duty to the people here in his as well.

00:31:48: Any points through the castle where King Haral is?

00:31:54: I feel we may never be free.

00:32:03: of course

00:32:05: I felt like that was a way to help.

00:32:09: To be honest, excuse me... He kind of takes the bulk and gets closed in his hands And he's just going to go off by himself for second.

00:32:28: So this time you guys have gotten full rest In order get all your spells and abilities.

00:32:42: Two hundred and four, by the way.

00:32:50: The lead HP for that cast.

00:32:53: I'm

00:32:54: virtually immortal!

00:33:04: Yeah i think maybe Garn like sees the ghosts in Ambrose talking And Ambros kind of peels away and Garn goes up to the ghost.

00:33:13: What was him at Bork?

00:33:14: Did you say Tim To make it so

00:33:16: upset?

00:33:18: Hey I fear your friend might be trying to undo a mistake done with the sense of altruism,

00:33:30: but was in

00:33:32: fact misguided.

00:33:36: I see... Well we all must live with the choices we made.

00:33:43: perhaps time will give him guidance on how he can

00:33:47: live with it?

00:33:50: Yes

00:33:52: there are some wounds that even i fear and he kind of gestures towards the ghosts around us.

00:34:02: that

00:34:02: time doesn't

00:34:03: really help.

00:34:04: I wonder if there's a way to set you all free?

00:34:17: Do think once we defeat this dragon, perhaps your duty will be secured as that which is culminating in this event here at this city...

00:34:29: ...I don't think The Dragon sent

00:34:30: them here.

00:34:32: Oh no!

00:34:36: What else would be keeping

00:34:37: them here, but

00:34:38: for a moment such as this so we're dragon streak

00:34:40: havoc upon

00:34:42: The city in the world above

00:34:44: maybe

00:34:44: scorching the

00:34:45: world of every orc that ever put them

00:34:48: in pain.

00:34:49: That might give

00:34:49: him some rest.

00:34:51: Aren't they all dead by now?

00:34:53: Yes.

00:34:54: They've been

00:34:55: Dead for centuries.

00:34:57: if

00:34:58: my mind is Correcting this moment and he's kind like hitting his head for a second

00:35:03: I

00:35:06: Don't know what would free us, but I know right now The usurper is our greatest threat Not only

00:35:14: to us

00:35:15: But you the living as well.

00:35:18: My fear for what that dragon has planned For this city to the south.

00:35:26: What was it?

00:35:27: You called it Covlar

00:35:32: yes,

00:35:37: but now let's Let us work on this sort of looks out the window to see if the Shimmerix is still flying around, turns back and says.

00:35:48: I believe... The coast is clear!

00:35:52: If you wish to go to the sanctum of the staffed

00:35:58: No time to waste.

00:35:59: let's keep going.

00:36:03: Ambrose are you?

00:36:05: Are you fit to journey?

00:36:06: Yes Ready for the fight ahead?

00:36:07: Yes

00:36:08: yes i am.

00:36:10: He'll tuck the book away.

00:36:12: uh he will take it with him

00:36:14: but you

00:36:15: can tell he's kind of glowering more or less and just kind of focused on the mission big time.

00:36:26: And you wormkeeper, is this...the adventure that you sought out after you parted ways with The Old Wizard?

00:36:38: Kovlar's the only home

00:36:40: I have

00:36:40: left so i'm going to fight for it.

00:36:48: Khazra!

00:36:49: You still hold the same determination as your did

00:36:51: before?!

00:36:54: I've been consistent This about vengeance from me.

00:36:58: I won't stop until they're all dead.

00:37:05: Let us bring them to their final resting

00:37:07: shall we?

00:37:15: Yeah, let's do it.

00:37:20: You make your way out and It's been well established as you guys have gotten your rest of like where they have like Seen the starved in where they come out from and there not an organized group but they are dangerous And They point up to an old mind that had been started.

00:37:42: And as you begin making your way in the direction, You see some of the ghouls on the rooftops looking down at you and they look like want go after them but when getting ready for something You can tell that there's like a bit of recognition.

00:38:08: and then they're like

00:38:12: And They like panic a little bit, and then you can see as he'll get closer to the sanctum of starved.

00:38:16: You Can See That There are Some?

00:38:18: That Are Like Waiting.

00:38:20: They're Like in Windows on Rooftops.

00:38:22: They're like Hiding In Alleyways.

00:38:23: Then They're all Just Watching As He Passed

00:38:27: Them.

00:38:27: They Can Tell We just leveled

00:38:28: Up

00:38:34: Kill That Creepy flying, soul-eating monstrosity earlier.

00:38:41: Yeah it seems that you are proving yourself to them and they kind of maybe are waiting to see what

00:38:48: happens here.

00:38:53: You get to a part where sort of goes up um... And you can tell like.. They have a bunch of mine cart railways going down there.

00:39:05: Ever played Minecraft?

00:39:07: a minecart rail going all the way down in your mind and then all the back up.

00:39:11: It's like that just on an industrial scale,

00:39:14: um...

00:39:15: And you go up and it is a huge opening into this.

00:39:23: but you can see that kind of goes off in one direction where some ghouls are sort-of waiting around the corner and they're giving you a path almost.

00:39:37: This is creepy as shit!

00:39:42: What is the light

00:39:43: situation?

00:39:44: Because I know my two Dwarf-y boys can see.

00:39:49: I have twenty feet of bright, forty feet up dim...

00:39:56: Okay so i will give you, sorry he said forty bright twenty dim.

00:40:02: yeah but I've low light vision like it's just forty normal forty bright for me.

00:40:06: Yeah

00:40:08: same

00:40:09: okay I was about to say everyone in our party has

00:40:13: Oh, yeah.

00:40:15: Well Yeah But you need light in order to see anything.

00:40:17: so So as long is this one person has a late source.

00:40:21: You guys

00:40:21: are fine but

00:40:24: Are you making Luca hold it?

00:40:25: Uh-huh like left arm

00:40:30: This.

00:40:31: so I really like on like the streets of Sakharoth.

00:40:35: No, we're gonna

00:40:36: my cobblestone.

00:40:38: you were but then you went into this mine

00:40:40: got okay.

00:40:40: Okay, yeah, so it's like dirt

00:40:42: and Stone and yeah.

00:40:44: Yeah, it's all a bunch of rough stone.

00:40:46: There's there some infrastructure to like.

00:40:47: you know whole parts of it up and stuff like that.

00:40:49: But but these these mines haven't worked in two-nose.

00:40:53: how long?

00:40:53: Okay So a lot of the.

00:40:56: if they had any wooden railcarts and stuff I got their rusted or you know broken down beyond anything

00:41:02: Pretty

00:41:02: much dust.

00:41:03: at this point You come up To an area and you can see slightly into it.

00:41:10: i'm going to bring you Into The map.

00:41:14: Um, but you're not there at that point.

00:41:18: But what I want to reveal to you is that?

00:41:19: You see two large figures.

00:41:22: That appear to be Shambling about in this main room as your approaching it.

00:41:28: okay i will share the picture To all

00:41:33: now.

00:41:34: oh Oh cool What the hell are you?

00:41:37: because you were awesome.

00:41:38: looking

00:41:41: looks like a stone Golem or just like a giant stone elemental.

00:41:49: that's got like crackling purple and blue lightning all over it.

00:41:53: Like these, like

00:41:54: couple of like

00:41:55: Orbs at the lightening seems to be traveling through in his chest arms legs

00:41:59: And his head is like split half too.

00:42:02: yeah this guy's got some tree trunks.

00:42:05: I think The scientific term is metal as fuck.

00:42:08: Oh Yeah.

00:42:09: So

00:42:12: So they have now seen you, like I said.

00:42:14: You're not up where your tokens are or sort of way back but you can see these things kind of just like sampling around in this room.

00:42:21: so if you want...you can roll a knowledge arcana on these things as there definitely is some type of gold.

00:42:26: I would love that.

00:42:27: Crafting?

00:42:30: I guess we got a little bit of a buff.

00:42:32: I've

00:42:37: got

00:42:43: thirty seven.

00:42:43: Tim

00:42:45: eighteen plus twenty four.

00:42:49: it's forty two

00:42:53: Forty-two.

00:42:53: Thank you,

00:42:55: okay.

00:42:57: So forty two and what would you get call

00:43:00: thirty seven?

00:43:03: Okay so both successes, so I will give you those.

00:43:07: each one thing about this Lazarite infused stone glass cool

00:43:14: sounding.

00:43:17: oh Lazarite I will go ahead, because you would know more...I mean both of us knew this.

00:43:28: I feel like Kezra wouldn't know more crafting stuff.

00:43:31: Um- I'll give you the effect for Phrygian because it ties into it.

00:43:37: but Lazarite was something called Maro Stone and It is an ancient mineral that resonated with necrotic energy And so these things appear to be fused in to it.

00:43:53: But

00:43:54: With that said, what do you guys want to know about Lazarite Infused on Golems?

00:44:00: Immunity probably would be good.

00:44:05: The like golem anti-magic specifically because they remember all golems have an anti magic.

00:44:13: That's the key.

00:44:14: if we don't have that then it doesn't matter.

00:44:16: with other facts We get...

00:44:18: If you don't

00:44:19: I'm fine with immunity.

00:44:22: So You Guys Know that they are, the Golem Anti-Magic says that they're harmed by cold in vitality.

00:44:32: So if you have any vitality base spells...

00:44:35: That's one parlence.

00:44:36: so I think means it can do

00:44:39: holy.

00:44:40: Holy?

00:44:42: Yes or healed by void or negative.

00:44:48: Okay

00:44:50: yeah just don't use like any void damage

00:44:51: spells.

00:44:56: And additionally, they're slowed by anything with the Earth

00:45:00: subtype.

00:45:03: So if you try to like manipulate their stone body... You can cause them to be slowed.

00:45:09: That's sick.

00:45:10: Anyone got earth spells?

00:45:14: No

00:45:15: I don't use earth or cold spells.

00:45:22: I'm gonna have to ask Jake for some stuff here but i might have something that could work.

00:45:27: Man, I wish we'd saved that.

00:45:29: remember that casting of that earth elemental.

00:45:32: I still have one.

00:45:34: you do.

00:45:35: yeah

00:45:37: Oh That's right.

00:45:38: yet he still has one.

00:45:40: Because i don't think were getting through these guys but talking nice to them

00:45:45: no likely not.

00:45:47: i mean maybe tried.

00:45:49: So so that was their immunities.

00:45:53: You guys can have on more thing because you both succeeded.

00:45:59: Well, hold on we did get two greater frost vials from the alchemist.

00:46:04: We have to greater frost file.

00:46:06: so whoever's got good Decks you probably

00:46:10: would've given

00:46:11: that if they're the ones that she crafted those are Not avoid because she is a alchemists.

00:46:19: wait So there was this acid flask of frost files and Alchemist fire.

00:46:24: Those were just like

00:46:25: it only last four hours or something.

00:46:29: Yeah, if you're an alchemist and you make them then they only last like a certain amount of time.

00:46:33: Well

00:46:34: You didn't say that They were the Alchemists

00:46:35: created

00:46:36: once but you just said this

00:46:37: is what find on her.

00:46:38: so... If their quick alchemy it's just regular alchemies are not temporary.

00:46:44: Oh Then yeah you would have

00:46:47: ability where they can make potions.

00:46:52: The cold ones will help.

00:46:53: with the acid one Will will not do nearly as much.

00:46:57: Yeah

00:47:00: It's good at throwing

00:47:03: Not me.

00:47:05: You might end up I think you might be the best one for this,

00:47:08: I?

00:47:08: Think

00:47:08: yeah All right

00:47:10: cool Make a big goal

00:47:12: has

00:47:12: to be that hard-to-hit.

00:47:15: Also Kezra The Alchemist is not good it.

00:47:17: well bombs aren't his thing.

00:47:18: i guess

00:47:19: what your decks.

00:47:21: those bombs are made of snake oil.

00:47:28: It is a

00:47:29: plus three.

00:47:30: Okay, yeah I think brush because i'm a marshal like on my master of simple marshal.

00:47:35: uh

00:47:35: plus four

00:47:36: oh okay.

00:47:40: so technically

00:47:41: have a plus twenty-three to hit with an alchemical

00:47:43: bomb.

00:47:44: um plus twenty three as well.

00:47:47: okay one for each of us.

00:47:49: yeah all right

00:47:51: okay alright

00:47:54: see that's what you get.

00:47:56: and as I said these things are Just shambling back and forth.

00:48:00: It doesn't seem like they're really doing much.

00:48:02: See, it was two?

00:48:04: Uh...it is two.

00:48:05: yes There's one to the north here that you guys should be able see.

00:48:09: Yeah

00:48:10: I

00:48:10: see.

00:48:13: How do we want to do this?

00:48:16: So yeah We have some

00:48:19: time We could Do some buffs.

00:48:23: Want some buffs?

00:48:24: Yeah!

00:48:24: Don't you have like uh...yeah

00:48:29: I can blur somebody.

00:48:34: Yeah cause definitely don't wanna get in with him.

00:48:37: Range

00:48:38: of getting

00:48:38: smacked by these guys.

00:48:40: If if Luca and I could aggro yeah in like this choke point here And you learn you guys let me just take a few steps back so they can't get to the reach.

00:48:50: That would be pretty sick.

00:48:52: Yeah, what if they like throw up?

00:48:53: Like a cone?

00:49:13: And also Tim I'm thinking for like some golems remember the ones that we fought before That just could like trample.

00:49:21: Oh,

00:49:22: oh my goodness this

00:49:23: stone golem that's just like.

00:49:25: Oh it will Just keep moving

00:49:27: Like you guys can aggro from the middle of The room and we'll do slingshot From the hallway

00:49:32: sounds good We could Do That.

00:49:37: Yeah Who Wants to Blur?

00:49:42: Maybe

00:49:42: Feel Like Luca

00:49:43: Put.

00:49:44: yeah if You Can put Blur on Luka That'd Be Good.

00:49:46: Lucas Blurt

00:49:48: Sweet.

00:49:49: It's Really Weird To Say That I you know at the Highest AC.

00:49:52: Now

00:49:55: I'll give Garn Mountains Resilience.

00:49:58: so you get that five physical resistance.

00:50:01: Physical dam resistance!

00:50:03: Yeah, because i got five physical dam resistance already... Nice!

00:50:07: Oh yeah and it doesn't stack.

00:50:09: So what's your plan of like Entry and then we will roll initiative.

00:50:23: I

00:50:23: have something that i could do.

00:50:25: it, i mean It all depends on if i get to go first or up in front of them is That i do have an AOE i can do with luca but i cannot Position it so other people be safe.

00:50:38: So i would basically half him go into the central room and unleash it But...it does do Cold damage!

00:50:48: Oh

00:50:50: thats true yeah okay But I would

00:50:53: start things and they will probably attract to him.

00:50:56: And then from there we can divide Divide up and conquer, I would say

00:51:04: Okay

00:51:07: So you just want him to just like run heedlessly into the center or like.

00:51:11: how do you?

00:51:11: That's what

00:51:16: i'm trying To think of hell because again oh that right he said They didn't even notice us.

00:51:22: Yeah, yeah cuz like you guys are looking like in down the hallway to like see right.

00:51:26: So let me make sure The range on this so I don't get anyone because it's surprisingly Large.

00:51:39: oh, yeah twenty foot ammunition Okay Uh-yeah, so basically he can run into the center room.

00:51:50: Let me measure.

00:51:54: i would say like here

00:51:57: okay

00:51:58: And I don't want to select Hasra go

00:52:03: away

00:52:06: Get off him.

00:52:06: Yeah So he will.

00:52:11: Honestly, you could stealth me.

00:52:12: He does have a stealth.

00:52:15: Okay just wanna have them just like kind of skirt by

00:52:18: yeah so they can roll that

00:52:21: okay?

00:52:22: Uh-huh.

00:52:22: Yeah, I had their passive perception here.

00:52:26: What

00:52:26: is I mean?

00:52:27: since we have the jump can we just go first initiative?

00:52:30: Yeah, yeah.

00:52:31: Oh was gonna say though Have everybody all take your turns.

00:52:34: Yeah cuz

00:52:34: whatever

00:52:35: the fuck

00:52:35: We want because I just need to get into position first didn't make this spell go off?

00:52:40: Yep

00:52:41: Okay, I wanna use a new spell in my first round

00:52:45: and it will

00:52:46: Hopefully immobilize one.

00:52:48: okay

00:52:50: So

00:52:51: kind of delay its

00:52:52: assault on you guys.

00:52:54: thirty four

00:52:54: so maybe You can

00:52:55: kind

00:52:56: of like get

00:52:56: one and then the other.

00:53:00: Okay, so... All right!

00:53:02: So yeah they as Luca just sort-of gently glides down the hallway in between them And it's not until after he is there ready that they go I

00:53:13: mean

00:53:14: look and notice.

00:53:16: They make this review sound Reggie?

00:53:20: Are we watching home improvement?

00:53:25: Yeah and so

00:53:27: all right.

00:53:28: So let's uh, because you guys are taking... You know what your doing?

00:53:32: Who wants to...?

00:53:33: No, so Ambrose will be first.

00:53:36: We we knew that.

00:53:36: Ambros!

00:53:37: And then it sounds like Kezra has got something he wants to

00:53:39: do.

00:53:40: Yeah I want to go second cause i think It'll Be helpful if I land it.

00:53:42: So..I

00:53:43: Will put ambrose at forty kezra at thirty nine Just to make sure that everybody falls in line.

00:53:51: Yes,

00:53:51: I've

00:53:52: ever rolled.

00:53:53: Well

00:53:53: well i think it probably will be beneficial if you go next Tim?

00:54:01: Okay

00:54:03: so put two there and then Sandor I Will Make Sure That You Go Directly After Him And Then I Will

00:54:09: Roll

00:54:10: These Two Guys See When They Both Roll Poop.

00:54:21: Interesting

00:54:22: okay supposed To roll dice

00:54:26: Rollin' logs.

00:54:31: It's very interesting, because one of them got a natural twenty which would put him above but I will just slide in below Sandor.

00:54:41: Okay.

00:54:42: Alrighty

00:54:43: then... That

00:54:43: was half-expecting to say that.

00:54:45: Rolled natural twenty on both?

00:54:47: On both it was great!

00:54:48: Um..I'm so proud at this.

00:54:49: they're gonna go before you.

00:54:52: Not going throw away an hundred and twenty like that.

00:54:56: Ambrose is....so He, Luca slides out into the center of the room and then he does whatever this ability is.

00:55:06: So basically using Act Together... ...he's sending Luca with one action that makes it over And in two actions uses something called Eidolon's Wrath Like, as you seem like how his face is kind of fused together.

00:55:27: There's this unearthly scream that just flows out twenty feet and it is an energy... Just a cold energy that emanates around him And they will have to make a reflexive.

00:55:46: Okay,

00:55:47: uh...

00:55:49: Let me see what a golem or stone golem?

00:55:51: Ooh!

00:55:51: That's not good Right, so I'm gonna do the top one first twenty four.

00:55:58: Uh-huh that is a Fail just a fail

00:56:03: yeah, and then it's when you won't.

00:56:04: That's a crit fail.

00:56:06: That's okay.

00:56:08: So I dons wrath.

00:56:10: this aura of cold energy billows out.

00:56:15: that Is thirteen D six?

00:56:18: Oh?

00:56:18: Guys

00:56:19: i have no mouth but i must scream for thirty six

00:56:23: both cold damage.

00:56:25: This is so fucking amazing

00:56:28: mark.

00:56:28: I'm surprised that he could make the move with a giant penis.

00:56:35: So this was actually, I think the highest i've ever rolled like this.

00:56:39: uh fifty one points of damage.

00:56:43: cool damage?

00:56:43: All right.

00:56:47: and then there's an area.

00:56:48: yes

00:56:49: okay roll me in additional two d eight

00:56:54: Jesus.

00:56:54: Okay, so two D eight.

00:56:56: God I have a date right here.

00:57:02: This episode brought you by

00:57:04: black oak workshop.

00:57:06: It's our

00:57:06: treasure

00:57:08: the Black Oak

00:57:08: workshop.

00:57:10: Seven only seven

00:57:11: with those okay?

00:57:12: So it is on me other.

00:57:13: so fifty-eight total.

00:57:14: then

00:57:15: yes,

00:57:16: okay

00:57:17: big damage.

00:57:18: and that one crit failed right

00:57:20: mm-hmm.

00:57:21: Yes, so which would be got a hundred and sixteen.

00:57:28: That is one focus point out of the way.

00:57:33: I think that was well used.

00:57:36: yes yeah The one on the the one in the bottom to one on on the south Does

00:57:47: is

00:57:48: Luca

00:57:49: technically undead by the way?

00:57:52: Kind of just answering this again.

00:57:54: He is technically a ghost but with Edelon bullshit.

00:57:57: Yeah, yeah I got you he There.

00:58:00: as he walks in between them You can see that his body sort of like emanates a little bit

00:58:06: stronger.

00:58:07: Oh Like before.

00:58:10: you know like the he was kind of wispy.

00:58:12: This time he looks like he's sort of vibrating As he stands

00:58:18: at the center.

00:58:18: The two of us.

00:58:22: Now

00:58:23: With all that said Next on the docket would be Kezra, right?

00:58:29: Yep.

00:58:30: Okay Alright I can... The map says that i could see one of them from top but.. I don't think actually I can.

00:58:37: So im gonna target at bottom one Kezrah like Stends out his hand.

00:58:42: it's like this Rope of lightning comes out and crackles across the ground.

00:58:48: He just begins to start spinning it and spinning It gets over its head And turns into a lasso.

00:58:53: And he fucking lassoes Crackling lightning whip the one on the bottom, so roll a reflex save.

00:59:01: Huh?

00:59:02: No!

00:59:03: I don't want

00:59:05: to.

00:59:05: One week this.

00:59:06: The twenty-three.

00:59:09: Twenty three... oh god i think that's close.

00:59:12: Regular fail.

00:59:14: Oh wow..I really thought it was gonna be

00:59:16: a crit.

00:59:16: Wait wait yeah its is safe not a

00:59:19: attack thing.

00:59:21: It's a crit for me but

00:59:23: the crit conditions are good

00:59:25: All right, okay nice.

00:59:29: So you'll take...

00:59:30: What was the name of this brand new spell by the way?

00:59:34: It was called Lightning Lasso!

00:59:36: Hey

00:59:38: cool

00:59:39: yeah This is my third level spell since I got to retrain it when i leveled up.

00:59:43: Oh that's a hit.

00:59:44: Yeah so uh You'll take twenty damage because I rolled two d-twelve.

00:59:49: Okay and

00:59:51: Wait will he or is the golem anti magic gonna kick it off?

00:59:55: I was gonna say the Golem is immune to spells and abilities other than his own.

00:59:59: But each type of golem is affected by a few magic in it.

01:00:02: magic in a few ways.

01:00:03: So unless that's like gold and vitality

01:00:07: Damn,

01:00:08: I don't think does anything right

01:00:11: now.

01:00:11: Yeah

01:00:15: Curious for this.

01:00:16: so No damage.

01:00:18: i get

01:00:18: them.

01:00:20: However It's a lasso.

01:00:22: it wraps around him physically and restrains or immobilizes him.

01:00:28: Does it still function as a restraining?

01:00:33: Interesting.

01:00:34: It is he, so it's a spell that has physical

01:00:39: effect Yes.

01:00:43: So you would be immobilized, restrained on critical failure.

01:00:49: But basically

01:00:53: part of this is He can break out but it will

01:00:57: cost him a turn.

01:00:59: I was going to say okay so

01:01:01: its like physically wrapped

01:01:02: around.

01:01:03: That's super interesting because like I didn't, is there a material component of a rope?

01:01:10: You know what I mean.

01:01:10: No!

01:01:12: So does the anti-magic just dissolve

01:01:17: magic

01:01:18: entirely and the spell goes poof?

01:01:22: or was it still draped on him but not

01:01:23: effecting them?

01:01:25: The thing that will say is that it says immune to spells and magical abilities other than its own.

01:01:30: Yeah thats fair.

01:01:31: Can i get

01:01:35: What

01:01:36: I said, can i get that trait?

01:01:39: Oh yeah right seriously become a golden all

01:01:42: right.

01:01:42: well That didn't work All right.

01:01:47: I think I forgot they were complete.

01:01:52: These fights are very not fun.

01:01:58: I got other things I could do you know.

01:02:01: Okay

01:02:02: So then Yeah, I guess I'll.

01:02:04: just I was gonna put up my shield.

01:02:14: Okay, so the one to the south is when that took the wild damage.

01:02:19: Yes okay?

01:02:20: So in that case as My free action with a battle starts i am choosing the victor's crown To be active upon my head and I am going to...spend an action too.

01:02:38: Well, how far away

01:02:39: is the one to

01:02:40: the north?

01:02:40: Uh, fifteen feet- okay!

01:02:42: I'm gonna spend..an action To get right up to it.

01:02:48: So that's one action.

01:02:53: And i'm going say

01:02:56: you

01:02:58: will

01:02:58: battle until one of us falls.

01:03:02: I Am your only challenger Face not the left or to the right.

01:03:08: The only combatant worth facing is me.

01:03:11: If you go against my divine will, You shall pay their price.

01:03:16: as I use My transcendence Only you and

01:03:21: i.

01:03:25: This interesting because the thing with Transcendence Is it shifts?

01:03:29: My eminence.

01:03:30: so my Eminence gonna get shifted into my weapon icon.

01:03:34: And then my last action I'm gonna put up my

01:03:37: shield.

01:03:38: Okay, so just walk out talk to him and let's go buddy.

01:03:45: Okay after that it comes to Sandor.

01:03:52: Oh real quick the Golem feels empowered to hit me mechanically gets a plus two circumstance bonus.

01:04:01: I don't really

01:04:04: want to hit this dwarf

01:04:05: man.

01:04:06: It is mindless, i dont know if that matters...

01:04:09: it

01:04:10: still gets the bonus.

01:04:15: Interesting!

01:04:17: I've always got the comb of cold in my back pocket.

01:04:20: but do I want something new and fun?

01:04:24: Who doesn't wanna do something NEW

01:04:26: AND FUN?

01:04:28: So Sandor sees the magic of Kezra This incredibly powerful sorcerer fail.

01:04:36: He thinks, I've got to do something physical and his mind goes back...he was born into a long line of warriors And he is always kind this wizard.

01:04:53: and he think's back To the day that he denounced Drowscar.

01:05:01: The words that his grandfather said him Become the words of his casting as he clutches his chest and screams godless

01:05:12: worm

01:05:13: As she transforms into a purple warm.

01:05:25: So

01:05:26: I'm gonna start burning to the wall.

01:05:31: Okay,

01:05:31: so You are a gargantuan worm.

01:05:34: I think huge, i don't think im technically Gargantua.

01:05:38: Oh my

01:05:38: gosh!

01:05:39: I will change your token to be... Yeah

01:05:41: you got that purple worm token in the back pocket?

01:05:46: I do have A Purple Worm Token but it is GARGANTUBE.

01:05:49: We can

01:05:50: resize this dragon

01:05:51: pool

01:05:52: right?!

01:05:53: So now we've got thirty feet of burrowing speed That Im going to plunge after one to south.

01:06:00: Oh, gosh.

01:06:03: I am beside now

01:06:04: amazing

01:06:06: his eyes.

01:06:09: So you said he moved to the wind of the south?

01:06:10: Yep

01:06:11: Okay Now i'm going to remain in the wall for this next

01:06:17: turn because

01:06:17: it takes two actions from me transform.

01:06:20: So I'm

01:06:20: currently in the wall right next to this thing.

01:06:23: Oh

01:06:24: my God,

01:06:25: what's so cool about?

01:06:25: This is that you don't technically have the space to polymorph into a huge creature but because You're a burrowing creature you basically just grow and as you do we start chopping digging

01:06:35: Into

01:06:36: like disappear.

01:06:36: yeah

01:06:37: Yeah i was gonna say it was like if anybody complained About That.

01:06:41: No

01:06:41: no i actually loved it cuz It

01:06:43: works

01:06:44: so perfectly

01:06:45: Like As He's Transforming Just Chewing Into The Wall.

01:06:47: Okay, um that's

01:06:51: my level.

01:06:51: fourteenth class feet

01:06:54: That it's a class fee.

01:06:56: It

01:06:56: subclass feed for one.

01:06:59: Yep.

01:06:59: I've been

01:07:00: waiting Alright.

01:07:05: next comes to the Lazarite of you stone golem.

01:07:08: so the one that Garn challenged.

01:07:10: Yeah, it turns to you after looking at Luca And if make I imagine these things makes the noise they're like The Reggie Geeguses or the Reggies did from Pokemon.

01:07:24: OK, they just make some weird noises.

01:07:27: It is going to do a few things here.

01:07:31: so first off it Is Going To Start To Glow And A Pulse Is Gonna Come Out Of It.

01:07:42: I Need You To Make A See.

01:07:46: Yeah, It's Only Garned Very small radius, but a ten foot emanation.

01:07:52: I need you to make a fortitude

01:07:53: save.

01:07:59: Fortitude saves not bad for Old Garn

01:08:04: Oh

01:08:04: Wow.

01:08:05: and in nineteen on the die?

01:08:07: I think I'll be okay with a forty three.

01:08:11: Yes You are fine is this?

01:08:14: there's this thing just goes And he feel it kind of wash over you But you seem to kind of shake off whatever

01:08:20: Nice.

01:08:23: And then it is going to... Let's see, I think he was just gonna strike at you?

01:08:38: Yeah!

01:08:40: So i get a plus two to the strike.

01:08:42: yeah There's a forty-two hit

01:08:47: that does hit.

01:08:48: no okay and would have hit either way.

01:08:49: so not yet broken

01:08:51: about

01:08:53: right but its gonna be.

01:08:55: Uh, twenty seven points of damage.

01:08:57: Well

01:08:58: it's only going to be.

01:09:00: I have to sub minus so much because i'm gonna shield block this.

01:09:03: So that takes off fifteen.

01:09:06: uh That's only twelve left.

01:09:08: and then I haven't the mountains resilience which takes off into five?

01:09:11: So its all you're doing is seven points Of Damage To Me.

01:09:15: God Damn!

01:09:17: That Is Unbelievable.

01:09:22: Oh My Gosh This Is So Good And I literally just like brush it off.

01:09:28: It's like he's.

01:09:28: that's what

01:09:30: I looked at.

01:09:30: look back and cuz from.

01:09:32: like these are the defenses pitiful.

01:09:38: After that, he's gonna take another swing at you.

01:09:41: so just Natural.

01:09:46: oh Bring it on bring it on.

01:09:49: well

01:09:49: there we go.

01:09:51: These are their fences beautiful.

01:09:55: The

01:09:57: goal literally just went, you said what?

01:10:02: Please

01:10:03: dishonor me.

01:10:07: I mean it's worth.

01:10:08: that would have taken away the same

01:10:09: damage anyways.

01:10:10: but still

01:10:11: You don't really want to shield.

01:10:12: block the smaller hits anyway because then your shield doesn't get destroyed.

01:10:15: so

01:10:15: Oh yeah

01:10:16: It is better to tank this smaller

01:10:18: one too.

01:10:19: Yes

01:10:20: Okay busted shin Until healed, the target is clumsy one and takes a ten-foot status penalty to

01:10:27: his land speed.

01:10:28: Aw... That sucks!

01:10:31: Okay that's good.

01:10:31: Heard damage though?

01:10:33: Uh yeah double down.

01:10:35: Of course.

01:10:35: It has fifty six points of damage.

01:10:41: So so he tries to swing over And then you duck under it and as you turn around go these defenses You just swings same arm back.

01:10:52: Just clothes on your legs.

01:10:58: Okay, that was his turn.

01:11:00: broke your ankles in the basketball court.

01:11:08: The other Lazarus infuse Stone Golem Who is looking at Luca and saw the worm come out.

01:11:14: it.

01:11:14: Was like up another day in the office Is going to do the same thing.

01:11:20: so he's gonna do this pulse.

01:11:22: So he charges up, and I need you to make a fortitude save.

01:11:29: But...I guess you'll make it as the worm?

01:11:32: Is this blocked by vision or...?

01:11:34: I'm in the wall!

01:11:36: Yeah, John said that he didn't come out of the

01:11:38: wall yet.

01:11:42: to him.

01:11:43: Okay gotcha alright.

01:11:44: Uh, i mean..i guess In THAT case It will walk up to Luca then.
