White Bull Season 1 Episode 28 – transcript

0:09
welcome back to another episode of the Chaosium house Runequest campaign. I’m Jeff Richard i’ll
0:16
be your GM and we have Neil back on the west coast of the United States
0:23
so he is he is no longer in our european time zone that’s why his light looks natural and not strangely
0:31
artificial like the rest of us okay so if you all remember last session
0:36
at the end of the session um you were guarding um or actually i think more precisely it
0:43
was Garan and Kulbrast were out at the gates that lead into uh
0:51
Yelm’s House of the Dead or the Palace of the Dead and there were a a group of
1:00
um what is it i think it is uh nine people heading forth
1:07
led by a woman wearing painted blue carrying a shield and
1:16
um wearing a torque and having a glowing star on her forehead and there were
1:22
eight other people there and i believe at this point it’s time for you guys to
1:30
to figure out um what challenges or tests you’re going to do the um
1:38
are you going to let the griffin speak are you guys gonna take charge of the situation i think this goes to you Garan yeah i’m
1:45
going to uh march towards uh the party and kind of stand in front
1:53
of them in a kind of uh black knight non-shall pass kind of way
1:59
is that the best idea maybe take a you know your cue from someone
2:05
who did not lose their arms and legs [Laughter]2:10
he still has an arm to lose that’s saying you know we don’t want it to end that way
2:17
what was it awesome i was afraid and for illustrative purposes
2:23
direct parallel in a second be careful
2:32
i mean she’s also carrying she’s carrying a shield and a bronze sword an
2:40
iron bronze broad sword um and uh
2:47
the the blue skinned woman [Music]2:53
says that she is um
2:58
[Music] she is uh the thunderbolt uh
3:06
thunderbolt wielder uh and for you to stand
3:12
aside for none will stop her from entering into the gates um
3:19
of hell and why have you come here
3:25
gates of hell and gates of the underworld we’re past the gates of the underworld we are
3:30
we are deep in the gates of hell i think this is i i may have even posted but what is the
3:37
actual difference it’s all in the underworld she wants to get into the she is
3:43
planning to get into the house of the dead but you know you know you know my my
3:49
boss scott could actually close the door couldn’t she
3:55
well the door currently is closed she says not letting her in nobody none sure
4:02
and yeah and a bit of blue paint won’t change anything about that did you bring gifts
4:11
well are you up there with um nope don’t let her in
4:19
no that was a flashback he says sword man stand
4:27
um [Music] stand aside uh
4:34
for she shall is you will not she will not let you stop her from
4:40
entering the house of the dead
4:51
she tells you to stand aside she asks she says i will ask you again
4:57
to stand aside um i will not ask a third time
5:09
now her she’s with eight others um companions so you’re you’re outnumbered
5:15
nine to one uh there’s our blue-skinned woman carrying
5:21
uh a shield a torque and a sword there’s a woman with fi
5:28
with eyes made out of fire there is a uh
5:36
armed warrior there’s a an another blue-skinned man with a
5:42
scarf of mists and carrying a flask of water there’s a fat man a badly wounded woman
5:53
a sacred clown and Nisk this darkness
5:59
don’t forget yes are you are you still hidden in the darkness i’m
6:04
still hidden in the darkness right now oh i’m sorry so we don’t see him yes we just feel his presence probably
6:14
but she is she is holding a a rock
6:21
made out of flint Garan i’ll let you make a cult lore
6:31
15 that is a very good pass she’s k this is a uh
6:38
orlanth thunderous magical weapon called a thunderstone
6:45
um and i i will let you know that it’s an enchanted it’s an enchanted type of weapon that
6:52
delivers one heck of a punch
6:58
and she’s making it very clear she’s not going to ask again
7:04
i am i am the line between the living and the dead i’m humane you must
7:11
talk with me this is the nature you cannot you cannot pass beyond
7:17
without talking to me you can threaten as much as you like but these this is not the way of things
7:22
this is not the way this is not the way a god conducts themselves when talking to a fellow god
7:33
sword god give me your challenge um
7:40
i have i have traveled a long way to get here and she seems exasperated
7:47
already and more than a little bit irritated more than a little bit irritated
7:54
and it’s clear to you that some of her companions are wounded
8:01
uh pose me your challenge so that i may push so i may
8:08
get this over with
8:16
swear swear to me sword god that you will not draw your
8:23
sword in the palace of the dead make me this vow
8:31
you may not use my weapon that thing which is most sacred to me
8:37
to do that which i cannot allow
8:43
she says um
8:50
she she says that she shall not draw her sword in the
8:56
um in the lands of the dead but she is the thunderer which is weapon which which gives her
9:04
power enough and i wish you all the luck
9:11
you may need but in the land of the dead there is a reason that the sword is the
9:17
chosen weapon you may regret your hubris and your
9:22
anger when dealing with the god who divides the two the living and the dead
9:29
and i have made my challenge right well she she she basically is
9:37
it’s she um uh uh
9:44
well all she had to do she didn’t promise to disarm she promised us not to draw it so she doesn’t even give up
9:50
the sword she just won’t draw it here um and moves forward with her come with
9:55
her troop um can i say something before they get to
10:01
next person um i have moved from inside and brought with me a table
10:06
and brought to the outside of the i get the end of the bridge so that i’m standing there at the end of
10:12
the bridge with the table in front of me just saying before she gets there yeah
10:21
okay she heads forward towards the gate at the gate is the table oh she gets to she gets to me
10:28
first isn’t well you tell me who is anybody else in front of uh in color no
10:35
i’m standing with Garan but i’m not at the moment challenging anyone so
10:42
oh okay so i’ve kind of blocked the passage with
10:47
my table and me and i’m standing there yes yes i have this horse
10:54
i have this horrible image just before going to describe it but the first thing i’m imagining is this is like the sign in table
11:02
you know before going in and you know you’re you’re you’re getting a stamp are you on the list and
11:08
here’s your you know here’s your little sticker yeah a little bit like that actually it’s
11:15
it’s a little bit like that i mean if there’s a real hell it has to
11:20
be like the what’s the good word for that in english um bureaucracy
11:25
yes extreme bureaucracy but that yeah it’s not really what i’m doing though okay so she approaches my table
11:34
and i greet her i greet you who dare enter these halls
11:42
may i ask who you are she says that she is
11:51
um the thunderer and the lightbringer
11:58
i am here to judge and i’m here to test your claims um so who are you you say
12:06
you claim who you say what you say but are you just another redhead trying to
12:14
uh be the imposter of so many others and take orlanth’s place in midair where are you
12:22
who knows uh Orlanth and his brother stormbull were always able to handle
12:28
spirits can you handle yours and then i place my little cups on the table six cups
12:36
and i bring out my little ball bottle of gin that i purchased and
12:42
i’m having a drinking game yes we’re having a drinking game and i i it’s a sealed bottle
12:49
i open it and i pour a little bit just a little bit in each cup
12:54
and uh i offer to her the courage wisdom generosity justice honor and piety
13:04
will she drink she looks at you a little bit perplexed
13:11
and says this is your challenge
13:17
well it’s it’s a challenge are you able to handle spirits like orlanth
13:24
and his brother storm bulland then i take out another six cups and i pour
13:31
a little bit for myself
13:37
[Music]13:52
she’s trying to she’s looking at you very suspiciously here
13:57
um all the games up
14:04
and says uh that
14:14
uh so this is just gin this is just gin yes
14:22
just gin she looks at this carefully and the
14:29
the the um
14:34
the light um from her brow
14:40
is very bright as she’s looking very carefully at this
14:45
i’d like everybody to make a spot hidden check
14:54
i muted you by the way claudia yes regular success
15:04
yeah i totally fumbled for 100 i don’t i fail
15:14
the reason you fail your fumble is because you hear some whispering in your ear at the same time from someone who you
15:21
don’t know is there okay that would explain it and that would be don’t forget
15:26
she needs to recite her regalia and all her pieces you need to make her do that not just one sentence about who she is
15:36
she that’s
15:46
that is so EnEnkala you notice that the illusion that had been cast
15:54
on the shield has been dispelled and she is it is now clear she is
16:00
carrying the star shield and not the shield of iran
16:07
she doesn’t seem to have noticed that yeah i know i’m not pointing it out yet
16:13
either but um just just you know i have not poisoned anything
16:19
no that’s clear she she says that this is what you say it is
16:25
and she will drink the um six little the the
16:33
six shots now Kallyr’s got a high constitution yes she’s able to do this
16:40
yeah i i didn’t really pour that much either so she drinks all the six cups right yes yeah okay did you just
16:48
down some lunar spirits while hero questing red
16:53
[Music] uh are not sure Orlanth would do that um lunars drink gin
17:02
or lengthy drink beer well here are the spirits and then i
17:09
call forth the six spirits that i had yeah um
17:16
am i gonna talk on behalf of them as well you should she’s getting she’s trying to
17:21
figure out what’s going on here clearly there is so there’s
17:26
six spirits the first spirit comes forth and it says well uh courage
17:34
you sure do have that claiming to be a god in the underworld you’ve shown that
17:41
and it moves away and then wisdoms comes up and it says to her
17:48
wasn’t too wise drinking that gender was it and it moves away and then generosity comes and he says
17:56
well not too generous of spirit to those who are your enemies or those who simply
18:03
disagree with you are you uh you have
18:08
actually not offered the hospitality to people who have offered gifts which
18:14
were displeasing to you so uh your selfish pride is on cosmic
18:20
levels as if you were a rattle born no not able to control yourself
18:27
red and it moves on and then judge then justice comes and it
18:34
just looks at her and says well they say you judge fear and walks away then honor comes
18:42
and it also brings up not offering hospitality dare red it’s a severe offense or a left wouldn’t
18:48
do that recently you were offended by a party arriving
18:54
and they were not shown proper hospitality they were envoys you should have offered
19:00
them that Orlanth would have offered them that because ah Orlanth had honor not good that pride of yours
19:08
it’s as if that pride was attached to that status symbol on your forehead
19:15
the unmoving fixed star perhaps you are that and it walks away
19:23
then piety comes oh we do not doubt your piety red
19:31
but where does those pious loyalties lie
19:37
to which gods and which runes these stasses on you
19:43
so is that where your pious lies and then it walks away um so that’s my little
19:51
what’s her reaction to this infuriated she is infuriated now here comes the real tough
19:57
question yes is to i’m gonna have to now normally i have
20:02
as a rule i never roll dice against myself no because that’s
20:08
not cool but you know in this case i think that we we are do we i’m gonna let one
20:15
of you guys roll the dice i’m gonna let you roll the die she is in an internal conflict between
20:23
um her righteous fury and this you have
20:30
you have set her up you have insulted her repeatedly in this situation and she
20:37
knows exactly who did this you know she’s she’s not stupid
20:43
um i’m gonna say that there’s there’s a part of her that right now
20:50
wants to call down upon her spirits and fry you
20:59
the only thing right she’s just proving everything oh yes oh yes
21:06
and don’t worry you’re dead already anyway [Laughter] it doesn’t really matter oh you’re the
21:12
only one who has to be worried here then i might actually be killed and
21:18
the flip side of that is her honor yes so i’m gonna have
21:25
you roll we’re gonna do an opposed role here and i’m gonna have do you wanna i i
21:31
don’t think you wanna roll for her honor i think you wanna roll for her rage
21:37
and um incredible irritation uh at this okay
21:45
i am gonna roll for her honor and the way this it works
21:51
we’re just doing an opposed roll here okay um and
21:59
i’m gonna roll it in the room because that’s uh yeah okay please raw
22:17
that’s a good one what did you roll 13. geez
22:23
okay so you got a special success on uh triggering
22:29
her fiery temper yes i win and lose at the same time and i
22:36
wrote a 91 on her honor and failed it
22:42
okay now we all know that Kallyr starbrow is notorious for her explosive
22:50
temper rattleborn i tell you yes
22:55
um this is so bad and
23:04
um at this point boy this this this may this
23:10
may sting this may stay a little bit
23:17
EnEnkala what’s your power uh it’s 13. um but with my i do defend with my
23:27
um my dear little spider yeah so that we have a total
23:34
of 24. okay
23:39
well and and i also have like this um i have the amulet which is uh
23:46
what was it again plus one in uh i don’t know what it is ah i don’t have
23:53
it i’ve forgotten or something but i have 24. 24. i would like you to roll this is
23:58
gonna this is gonna stink yeah would you roll on your your because the light
24:05
from her brow uh [Music] just it is a a blinding
24:13
pure vicious light burning right through you it’s fake
24:20
light yeah okay without heat no [Music]24:27
because she’s not true okay so why do i roll okay
24:34
you’re not you’re not gonna see this but i did roll a if you’re gonna see that if you see i haven’t moved the dies but you’re doing
24:41
this you can’t see the body please see your notes keep moving it to the top of the this is
24:54
that is all right it fries away the spirits
25:01
that you had there releasing them complete those spirits that you had bound here
25:07
are gone what you do not suffer because you succeeded on this she did
25:13
not overcome your power you do not i put i had thrown it was
25:19
throwing ian um or or blew off four hero points
25:27
basically she’s using a heroic ability which would have done 4d6 through all
25:33
armor directly to your general hit points um but it doesn’t
25:40
overcome your power your righteousness in your decision defends you against this she does
25:47
lose the four hero points which is yet another thing that she’s thrown
25:53
away on this um and the spirits are gone
25:59
uh but you’re still standing
26:05
i’m sorry i think i start laughing at this point
26:15
yeah i’m sorry but her pride is her weakest weakest point and she just
26:20
proved all of it and that red there is not orlan
26:26
i’m gonna do a big dark death laugh as well
26:31
and and you know the best thing is she didn’t even manage to take along the proper shield
26:38
did you see that allowed because she yeah i say that out loud and we just you know
26:44
we’re just losing it laughing our heads off that she didn’t even manage to gather
26:50
together the proper um gear for pretending to be Orlanth
26:56
but maybe she doesn’t really want to be that maybe she wants to be the pole star might look like it be looking for the
27:02
power she spent right now was pole star and her shield is pole star at this
27:07
point the woman with the eyes of fire put her puts her hand on star brow
27:15
and uh uh whispers something to her you guys can try to make a listen yeah
27:22
we can listen it’s in a language we don’t understand no it’s excellent
27:27
yeah it’s a good good success nothing uh yeah success no who all heard
27:34
did anybody Gina did you
27:40
she might have seen seen or heard something since but she’s not there i’m sorry i rolled 89 and 81
27:48
today um the the woman with the fire eyes says
27:56
um that
28:03
you have um
28:09
they may have stung your pride but you passed her test
28:18
at this point uh star brow she’s looking murderous at you but takes
28:25
no further action are you gonna do the asking for the quest in the items
28:30
Kulbrast because that was yeah we’re still in the middle of laughing at her
28:36
not not um outfitting herself properly and trying to pretend to be all
28:43
answering you know as an all-out thunderous initiate this is just ludicrous
28:49
but uh red you are to recite your items they
28:56
brought you here the quests you’ve gone to to get you here
29:02
do you have the proper items now a quick bit here
29:09
is do you i i’m going to give you a chance to rephrase this
29:14
okay ask her whether she has the proper items okay it’s probably pretty easy for her
29:21
to come up with a list of things that she has that she says is the proper yeah okay i would suggest that you guys
29:33
um may have to be a little bit more aggressive in
29:40
uh demanding that she produces specific items or point out
29:46
items that i am since five minutes laughing at her for
29:52
having the wrong shield with her where is the shield she
29:57
not at all react to this oh she well she she had to be talked from by
30:04
her companion against uh attacking you all and she um so you’re demanding that she
30:11
perceives the shield of iran yeah and she’s
30:16
looking and she she looks and she is she says
30:22
what trick is this my trick
30:28
you are is that what cobra says yes
30:39
okay man you are just causing her to flip out each time here
30:47
okay Kulbrast the next um candidate for incineration
30:54
yes she is she is infuriated with this
31:02
she throws that shield down um and i want to see whether she goes
31:09
one step further i mean imagine it it’s her defense imagine how frustrating
31:16
this would be yeah but um just to honor the actual um task we were given by augur
31:25
at this point i will sort of tell her to calm down so that she can um get on with her quest
31:36
this is why i’m we’re gonna do one more of these dice roll offs now thanks to all your goating and the
31:43
previous failure she had to keep control i’m gonna give you a 20 point
31:49
bonus onto her fiery temper ability putting it at 110 percent
31:57
cobrast and i’m to knock off because she failed previously on her honor check
32:03
i’m going to knock off 20 from her honor
32:08
so we have a 110 that’s your skill against
32:15
a let me just double check here
32:21
a 55 okay can i augment with my fire rune to make her
32:27
even more likely to blow up yeah yes is 24 oh you
32:39
good one i’m gonna accept that
32:47
oh dear i didn’t make it how sad you are now
32:54
minus 20 on everything you try to do on the rest of this quest
32:59
because of that but it does knock her fire rune down to a mere 90.
33:06
that might just make a difference okay would you roll on your fire rune phillip
33:12
[Music] three one three
33:18
a zero three yeah you’re all better as callier than you do for yourself
33:26
yeah yeah you know because the stakes are so high for you guys
33:32
i’m just gonna put in here um i’m gonna roll uh no we don’t have a roll dice thing on
33:39
our slack do we um we do yeah we do we do yeah yeah i rolled mine there earlier yeah
33:47
okay she’s got a 55 chance but you criticaled this didn’t you yeah
33:56
okay she succeeds on her honor but you
34:01
critical with her wrath so she’s not going she’s going to
34:08
screw it she’s going to hurl the thunderball that the thunderstone at you oh
34:14
maybe i can catch you also that means she’s now oh she’s without a
34:19
weapon yes you have basically pulled away her
34:26
um uh her weapons she is so frustrated and pissed off at you Kulbrast so
34:34
on the other hand um this this this might stink
34:42
it did sound a bit like it there before all right so just to let you know how this this
34:48
fun-filled thing works so a a thunderstone
34:56
um what she’s going to do is she’s going to strike it with you strike you with it
35:03
[Music] okay which you’re
35:10
right he throws it like like a ball or yep okay she just throws it at you
35:16
and succeeds on her throw um and for each point
35:22
stacked in this it does 1d6 damage to you plus knocks off 1d6 magic points
35:31
is it possible to see how much is stacked in it once i roll the dice yeah yeah
35:39
with my second sight no no okay so it’s not power okay okay so any way to
35:45
[Music] get out of the way in time
35:50
no she just throws a rock at you okay she just throws a rock at you and it
35:56
explodes okay you could lay down
36:03
you may lay down anyway i could stunt jump to the bridge you could
36:09
how many hits do you have how first off how many magic points do you have and how many hit points 12
36:14
magic points and 13 hit points okay well the first bit is the magic
36:20
points you uh it drains all of your magic points
36:25
all of it you feel drained yeah you don’t get him back in the airplane
36:32
aircraft
36:37
why didn’t you lay flat on the floor and that might not somebody better have some
36:43
good healing magic here because it just did 16 points to your hit points Kulbrast
36:50
oh that’s bad that’s three too many i can guide you i i actually
36:57
i mean we are already here no no no no no no no i can guide you smoothly over
37:02
the table of course if you want it it i mean this is enough
37:10
to kill your to kill you my fetch doesn’t heal six instantly when it sees
37:17
this happen can it okay you can do this
37:22
what you want him to die i’m sorry g that we’re not no he was the one who really refused
37:28
dying Gina yeah this is sad [Laughter]37:33
yes it managed to feel six so i’ll deduct the points but you get a heal six instantly okay so
37:41
i’m at plus three you’re at three hit points Kulbrast
37:46
just a second um well as quickly as it could do it anyway i don’t know myself obviously as well no you can’t no
37:52
you can’t you have zero magic points yeah but i have a
37:58
and are unconscious maybe maybe you should go you should finally go
38:06
oh Gina Kulbrast you’re alive at three hit points and zero magic
38:13
points he does not need to be can i use the magic points in my crystal
38:18
um in an uh no because they don’t normally re-heal right now do they
38:25
it’s tough you’re unconscious at this point okay well i i felt laughing to the floor
38:33
well it’s stunning it’s stunned yes but i want to point out that that would have that was enough to
38:39
kill you yeah single blow lucky my my trousers weren’t there because they would have been totally
38:45
incinerated oh yeah she was really insulted by a
38:51
trouserless guy as well that’s just wonderful yeah so
38:56
at this point she glares me too um
39:06
she has she has thrown away the shield she’s used the thunderbolt but the
39:13
thunderbolt proves that she’s the thunderer well no no can’t anyone
39:19
else they prove she’s got a stone well throw it the thing that came from her
39:27
from her was that one so i judge her as star brow color star
39:35
brow the pole star she can go on like that
39:42
and what what warrior god would give away their most the weapon the only
39:49
weapon they brought outside of the sword they could no longer draw for some and pride for pride and because
39:57
a fool has taunted them and and i actually mock her that she cannot even kill so actually she’s
40:04
i mean hey i’m equally useless
40:18
she says tradition grants you three tests
40:26
now stand aside yes red we will stand aside
40:33
go on ask the pole star and astasis and i move away at this point she
40:42
enters into the doors into the land of the dead
40:48
yes Gina do i let her you’re gonna stop her she’s also got
40:53
she’s got another i i mean you said doors
40:59
are these doors open for her or can i actually talk to my goddess not to open the doors
41:04
we do want her to we do want her to pass the ta request you know yeah we’re just mucking it up we just
41:12
want her to test and and
41:19
she we didn’t um her to be Orlanth and she certainly isn’t
41:26
she passes through the doors unless Gina jumps in the way and and and
41:33
i want to have no she has to give something to to the ancestors a gift or something like that
41:45
provide something to make them happy sorry she’s going into the she’s in the underworld she wants to go
41:50
to the dead so she has to provide them with something nice okay at this point i want you you’re
41:57
gonna need to find some skill or ability or something to be able to justify that or she’s just
42:04
going to push you aside she’s not a feminist she what
42:10
she’s not very amused at this point me neither my prey is gone but she
42:18
failed i’m sorry again it’s a second time
42:26
sweet gift of unconsciousness [Laughter]42:32
well i’m really pissed so
42:39
i remind her with my death rune that she actually has to give something to the
42:44
ancestors when she is here to have the right to go
42:49
through these doors
42:56
i’m representing the goddess here i’m telling her that i will not open
43:02
these doors otherwise they will stay closed without the right rights and without my
43:10
blessing yeah i want you to roll against your uh we’re gonna have another
43:16
face off here on runes your death rune against
43:30
[Music]43:35
actually yes i want you to roll to first succeed at the death rune succeeds yes
43:43
i wrote a 55 on a 95. i’m gonna roll against her man rune
43:51
all right but basically the the rights that are the obligations that all mortals have when
43:58
confronting um and entering the the land of the dead
44:09
this is not my day or maybe it’s not your day i rolled a
44:20
ninety-nine at this point she says
44:26
um stand aside um uh
44:36
uh stand aside auntie um
44:42
basically refer you know calling you an aunt even though i believe you’re much younger than she is
44:49
uh stand aside or be pushed uh stand aside
44:56
or i will force you aside oh i do not go aside
45:04
i will stand here uh all the ghosts were gone which i had to roll all around all of
45:10
the ghosts are gone when she did that huge um uh it never made it to the um palace of
45:16
the dead either they weren’t there remember yeah yeah
45:25
um she is
45:33
man she is frustrated here she’s blown um she’s not pissed off at you
45:40
enough to try to blast you with thunderbolt um
45:48
all i want to have is something like a a a gift you know
45:54
a donation yeah and that’s what i’m asking for i had not fumbled by role she probably would have
46:02
given you one but you have you have been pushing every button that she has and she is just
46:09
about and will break yet another thing about Orlanth yep um i should probably just push her
46:17
way aside through yeah
46:23
she um
46:33
looking at an appropriate ability that is not that obnoxious um
46:41
but you know she’s that pissed off and i did fumble
46:48
[Music] she doesn’t have her sword
46:56
well she didn’t she does have her sword she’s just not allowed to use it she’s not going to use that
47:02
no um
47:07
she is just going to try to push forward what are you going to do Gina
47:15
dance around her okay so you dance around her roll roll to see
47:21
if it if it’s as annoying as it sounds or just embarrassing
47:28
82-90 okay it is as annoying as it sounds um
47:36
it uh it’s a little bit like the capoeira thing you know
47:44
no yes it could be like that but you’re not actually fighting her claudia no i’m
47:50
defending myself i mean i’m pushing past you but i’m i
47:55
to me this is like some sort of weird jim carrey sketch she out of the early 80s with you
48:02
dancing around her well exactly exactly i mean
48:10
she’s really powerful here and uh she sure hasn’t shown that she’s that
48:17
well she did kind of fry cobras
48:23
yeah not properly [Laughter] well be thankful for that
48:34
his mouth is smelly but it smells a little bit burnt but she just pushes you aside i curse her
48:43
what’s your curse tell me your curse [Music] you when you will be dead you will
48:50
starve because you will you’re not honoring your
48:57
dead family members and you will be starving on the table of the goddess
49:04
of the of tiger attack how is that it’s a big curse
49:13
it’s a very mean curse she um do i have to roll for something or is it
49:18
because you just write it down write down but she pushes her way
49:24
through into the hall of the dead
49:30
um at this point your function in this hero quest
49:37
is now to be part of the audience
49:43
so um and not to you you basically you’ve made your
49:49
challenges that you’re permitted to make under this um but that does not mean
49:54
that the hero quest is over i want to go through this but i want to have a quick coca-cola so okay
50:04
we’re back all right all right so um i you guys now you know the the the
50:11
ability to do the active roles in the quest is over for some uh really you’re you’re part of
50:18
it because you guys know you know now as the testers you’re of course
50:24
part of now the overall ceremony and so you guys are in as you know kind of secondary
50:31
background people for the next there’s another one two
50:38
three three four five six seven days of
50:46
um well another six days of of rituals and ceremonies that you all
50:51
are part of and i just like to speed through it unless there’s something you guys want to do
50:57
on any of them but it’s worth me so the next day they cobrast you are
51:04
able to be out they get you out of the sacred garb that’s good let you recover
51:11
and um do people heal him back up to full hit
51:17
points yeah yeah okay yeah i can do that
51:22
okay i can hear myself and phil charles has healed as well so i think i’ll be fine
51:29
so on the ninth day of the ceremony um goes in with orlanth
51:35
and her companions present themselves to maggot liege who used to be yelm but is now the
51:41
horrifying emperor of the dead uh surrounded by the rotting corpses of his guards
51:47
and courtiers the ceremonial greeting is made and it ends with yom proposing the test
51:55
the fire of justice and the fire of justice is generated it’s the
52:00
flame of the sun and uh a huge fire and Kallyr starbro not surprisingly is
52:07
willing to pass through the fire um
52:15
and is um a claim to be just and everybody who witnesses it including you
52:21
all agreed that she survives the survived the flames of e helm
52:28
so i all of your characters are put in a situation where you kind of have to
52:34
accept that she passed the flames and that her claims are just
52:41
you guys enthusiastic about that or not not really not really no
52:47
not really but on the tenth day of the hero quest
52:52
um there’s a big ceremony where emperor yelm acknowledges that orlanth truly is truly a god
53:00
a deserving and immortal as all who were born before him um and this is a celebration
53:07
of orlaith that Orlanth is a great god and there is uh great uh amongst all the people
53:15
in boldhome that have been gathered for this because of course the ceremony is taking place in bold home
53:20
and there’s thousands of people witnessing what’s going on you all are in about the
53:25
there’s like the 100 people um in the core of the ritual but there’s
53:31
thousands of people watching this and cheering it on um and uh kevlar starbrill then suggests
53:39
that their true enemy is yet to um uh to arrive
53:48
and that everybody must work together in order to prevent their deaths once again forever at the hands of the
53:55
devil and all the people did all the people participating in this
54:00
all agree and i assume that you all all agree that oh yeah with this yeah and there is
54:07
great rejoicing um everybody all of you all get new
54:14
clothing right handed to you for this fresh new
54:19
clothing that that that um uh and everybody removes their rope belt
54:27
that they had been wearing and ties it together so i’m assuming all of you all do this
54:33
as well did you guys want to be this visible i i didn’t mention he dropped his darkness
54:40
yeah but this is um this is for weaving the web yes that’s the devil right yeah because
54:47
yes good because i am kind of loving on rachni solara here i’m gonna put
54:54
all my soul into this including taking cutting off parts of my hair
55:02
okay well that’s day 11 is the summoning of herachnostelara yeah
55:09
and so this is you can imagine this is a gigantic ritual and so on on on day 11 the proof
55:16
um you know everybody’s made the big compromise you guys have even made a compromise
55:22
with Kallyr haven’t you did you guys all swear the various oaths that everybody is making here
55:28
to compromise with each other to work together in order to defeat the devil yeah this
55:35
is an important question for you how Kulbrast do you do you swear the oath of the great compromise
55:43
is this a trick question no yeah yeah sure i swear the oath i mean our
55:50
task is done Gina yeah
56:00
erin
56:14
uh just for the record in some strange way
56:22
day 11 the proof of the compromise is to be tested this is the big ceremony of the
56:28
lightbringers quest the final climax um gathered into the center there is
56:35
what what’s called the polluted statue right a symbol of the devil
56:43
everybody ties their rope um everybody is supposed to tie their rope
56:48
around and summon in the ritual summons in the devil into this
56:54
and you all were to create the net that binds uh the devil
57:02
um and so the the the that the the devil can be bound
57:09
be defeated by you all and then the basically what it is is everybody ties
57:14
the rope around together and then when the word is called
57:19
you guys get to smash the statue that’s in the center [Music]57:25
so um so everybody’s holding this you guys together are you holding is is anybody trying to
57:31
to get on to good with cat with red um or are you guys forming a little group
57:36
with yourself here with our group where our our social
57:42
unit okay so at the climax of the ceremony and
57:48
remember this is still in the lands of the dead at the climax of the ceremony everybody participates in the net
57:54
holding ceremony everybody who’s been in this and an idol is brought out it has been
57:59
polluted with blood filth and igor and the participants
58:05
your all to wrap the idol up in the net so guys everybody kind of imagine if
58:12
this was in the game we would kind of have everybody this but let’s just kind of put your imagine have you got your rope
58:17
up here come on let me see on the the brady bunch screen everybody kind of put your rope up here
58:23
come on come on Gina come on come on all right and everybody’s all yes
58:30
perfect neil perfect everybody’s wrapping this around
58:35
um and and starts wrapping the idol up in the net and then all hell breaks loose
58:42
um and this the statue jumps to life and there is a
58:49
beautiful red-haired woman wielding two silver
58:55
curved swords i’m sorry she has two and then you then she has
59:04
two more hands with um uh also with
59:11
uh these silver um curved swords corpuses
59:24
and she rips the net up effortlessly and just starts dancing
59:34
and everything she just there is a blood everywhere um
59:43
i’m gonna have to give you guys a chance to decide what to do and caller who has sworn an oath to whom oct
59:50
not to use her sword and has lost her shield
59:57
and has used her a thunderbolt weapon is absolutely without
1:00:05
the ability to act she has you thanks to you all she has no ability to use
1:00:12
a major magic so that’s the one situation she is totally caught off
1:00:18
guard here you have three options you can run away
1:00:24
you can try to attack or you can try to protect Kallyr
1:00:29
starbrill the prince a question what does impede chaos do again
1:00:36
it makes them harder to hurt you directly personally is there not a fourth option of doing
1:00:43
nothing and watching i mean i seem to remember i seem to
1:00:48
remember that our grass orders were that we shouldn’t
1:00:55
you know actively kill her or anything but the way we’re not to help her that’s not
1:01:00
no no that’s not true no i have an idea the red goddess has
1:01:07
shown up in the middle of the ceremony and yes that is correct in color this is the red goddess yeah and that’s
1:01:14
not we don’t want that here even if it messes up her this is they are chaos well i i have an idea
1:01:22
yeah um i want you said she’s dancing around with her swords
1:01:29
i try to get into her rhythm so i can actually also dance around in her
1:01:36
rhythm and i will try it yeah trying to dance off not a dance off
1:01:43
but i will try to get color out of that with dancing out
1:01:48
her out
1:01:59
you can try i can try okay however i try to get into a rhythm
1:02:04
first yeah where are you going i’m going to
1:02:10
move directly in front of callier i said i will be your shield for this
1:02:15
i um ufd yeah and block i said if you need my sword you may use
1:02:20
it and i hand it to her i’m still who marked and i am
1:02:27
also Nisk’s bodyguard so i will stand on cali’s other side and say
1:02:34
i have prevented you drawing your sword so it’s a good sob the sword is here for breast this looks one
1:02:43
like one of those situations where [Music] it doesn’t look good it’s just fairly
1:02:51
uh lefty my deathbed or almost death dead and
1:02:57
yeah you do not want to die i know that it’s sad no no not yet
1:03:06
i think i’ll stay behind this this group and see what happens and
1:03:12
try to maybe um
1:03:18
hmm i don’t know i could goad her into
1:03:26
something perhaps we’ll see i’m not not standing at the front so you’re
1:03:32
rushing there there’s you there’s the there’s the um porter and some of her companions i so we’re
1:03:39
going to have a round here and i’m going to kind of abstract this slightly i’m gonna um
1:03:45
i’m gonna let first i’ll let you know how she attacks she attacks
1:03:52
it can attack eight people in a round
1:03:57
just to give an idea here um she’s splitting her attacks so she’s going to have at this point a
1:04:04
mere 125 150 chance to hit her attack because she’s splitting them um
1:04:13
what she’s a goddess yes um and please try to not get hit by her
1:04:21
um because it’ll hurt it’ll it’ll sting um so first i’m gonna let
1:04:28
EnEnkala try to cast sleep yeah i think i might as well try i mean
1:04:36
okay i’m gonna roll my stuff
1:04:42
the spell goes off but i’m going to roll my um i’m going to roll the
1:04:50
is it a post rolls do i roll does she roll these well first i want to tell you you’re going to roll your well before we
1:04:56
even get to that yeah um i know i need a critical that’s why i’m going to roll it in
1:05:01
you need more than a critical how many point how many how many points is sleep uh sleep is a three-point spell in
1:05:08
itself and i’ll cast it with eight points so that i’ll overcome
1:05:14
any a shield of five if she has counter magic
1:05:20
okay okay knock off all those points yes
1:05:29
and does that overcome shield of five or is that the same as shield five if this
1:05:34
is the same shield five i’ll have to go to another point and use nine because i don’t know how
1:05:41
many she has no i know i can’t well no i don’t know how many points you’re putting in you’re putting in
1:05:46
i’ll put nine i’ll put in nine points that made that way at least i’ll get past the five
1:05:52
okay yeah so knock off 12 magic points oh uh it’s nine total like there’s three
1:05:58
for the spell and plus another extra six and
1:06:07
yeah not a shield five but um magic five would have been okay counter matching five it’ll it’ll get through
1:06:14
oh okay i do i do have uh you tell me how many points i you don’t have any idea how much magic i
1:06:19
have i’ll drain my storage crystal that has 10 points
1:06:25
and i will use um and i personally have 13 so i’ll use
1:06:33
eight plus ten eighteen then so it’s gonna take you two rounds to cast that spell yeah
1:06:39
so you can do it not now but in two and i’ll have to critical so it’s like all right
1:06:47
i think that’s it’s a plan it’s a plan Garan what strike rank do you act on
1:06:54
uh i believe it is okay double check
1:07:04
yep four okay and how about you Nisk uh i’m a six with
1:07:11
my weapon okay but i’m off i’m offering her my [ __ ] my sword if she wants to take it
1:07:18
um i thought you’re coming in to rush to her defense i am that’s what my shield’s for okay
1:07:25
if she wants to take the sword she can use this sword that would be next round correct well
1:07:33
i’m running in front of her with my shield and i offered it to her she can choose to take it okay i’m not actually attacking
1:07:38
you she’s attacking she’s attacking you Garan and um orngorin
1:07:46
um the porter um who are the three people that are
1:07:51
immediately trying to bodyguard um uh Kallyr and
1:07:56
probably also next to her is the um there’s the woman with the um with the firearms fire eyes
1:08:03
because she was with her all the time so she’s gonna attack each of you guys um
1:08:09
twice so you tell me um
1:08:15
are you gonna try to attack her back no i’m gonna cast up perry spell okay
1:08:22
okay gary rich yes okay so i’m gonna go first attack
1:08:29
spell succeeds first attack is against orngorin which um
1:08:36
she does a special success i’m not gonna bother rolling it i’m just gonna let you know what a special
1:08:42
success by her does um anybody she knows who this person
1:08:48
this person is that she’s fighting um she’s only fighting four so she’s not
1:08:54
going to um
1:09:00
it’s just ugly it is really ugly um she gets a special success
1:09:06
so when she does a special success it does um it just
1:09:13
from i’m not rolling against myself this is the only one i’m going to do here but you want to have an idea what it does
1:09:19
when she hits uh oronGaran sure if you want an
1:09:24
idea yes okay so this is with a special keep in mind so they
1:09:30
you know it’s only a special but she does
1:09:36
48 plus 24. [Music]1:09:44
oops that’s marketing that’s not what i want to be on
1:09:51
so let’s see here roll 4 d8
1:09:58
so that is um 14 plus 28 oh sorry put 14 plus 24
1:10:08
is 38 um 38 points of damage body parts are
1:10:15
flying so [Music]1:10:22
far that is to the chest to orangurin so one companion just goes
1:10:29
down with a hit Garan here’s your chance to parry if you
1:10:37
survive that parry you get to strike at the red goddess um
1:10:42
how good is your perry uh 100 okay please reduce it to 70 um 75 because
1:10:50
she’s splitting attacks okey-dokey
1:10:57
25 all good well it what it means is you do parry
1:11:02
how many armor points does your thing have my soul
1:11:16
uh 16.
1:11:26
points of damage so six points get through your um uh
1:11:33
your sword how much armor do you have uh six points so you fine you actually took
1:11:39
a hit yeah she’s not that bad
1:11:44
[Laughter] overrated can i um can i roll
1:11:51
oh please reduce your um swords hit points by one
1:11:57
jeff i’m going to try and get inspired with my um loyalty of actually it’s
1:12:06
devotion or length that makes sense okay i roll a 36 so that gives me a plus 20.
1:12:15
when i have 100 160 with my perry spell okay that’s good
1:12:21
um what that does is that reduces her attack you have a hundred
1:12:28
okay this is how we handle over a hundreds is we just zoom it down to a hundred um you have a
1:12:33
hundred she has a seventy all right and i get a 36.
1:12:43
and i rolled a 17 which is not a special because she’s at a
1:12:50

  1. i missed a special by one point [Music]1:12:55
    so uh it does a mirror
    1:13:04
    10 22 [Music]1:13:11
    a mere 23 points of damage to location
    1:13:22
    so the right arm okay i have a very sore right arm but it’s still working but doesn’t the parry uh divide well
    1:13:30
    not called divine roots i’ll do something with the hit points i didn’t cast the rune spell oh you did
    1:13:35
    oh okay i just cast perry and perry is the underpowered comment because blade sharp is better
    1:13:42
    than perry and i think it’s fundamentally unfair okay
    1:13:48
    okay i’m gonna let you guys make one round if anybody wants to make
    1:13:53
    a strike at her you two can try to make strikes at her then i want Gina to make her dance
    1:13:59
    afterwards so Garan are you going to try and strike
    1:14:04
    her yep what’s your skill uh it is
    1:14:10
    a hundred i have to augment that with my death
    1:14:18
    rune okay so my death rune is 88 i rolled a 68
    1:14:26
    okay so um you’re at 120 yep okay zoom it back down to 100
    1:14:34
    okey dokey it’s actually 295. 95. okay okay would you raw critical
    1:14:42
    critical no it’s not critical it’s a 93.
    1:14:49
    so you’re a success it’s still a success yeah by two percent okay
    1:14:56
    would you please but that means she parries it with one of her copis
    1:15:03
    can you do more than 24 points of damage no i can’t okay it can’t even get
    1:15:09
    through her shield let alone she’s not wearing a she doesn’t seem to be wearing a lot of armor doesn’t seem to be
    1:15:20
    but you can’t even get past her she her um sword strike
    1:15:27
    Nisk um is callie going to take my sword or no well it has to be next round ish while
    1:15:34
    i’m holding it if she wants to take it i’m not going to take the attack deceit yes of course she will offer to take the sword but not then then
    1:15:41
    that’s what my action is holding it up so she can get it on her round so she’s going to the next round um
    1:15:47
    and she gets a third strike a fourth strike a final strike this round um and then i
    1:15:54
    went Gina to see whether see what goes with the dance um
    1:16:01
    and that’s just gonna be what another one of collars companions go um another of her companions
    1:16:09
    goes down so two two of her companions have fallen
    1:16:15
    down right by her Gina let’s see if you can match her dance wise and tell me what you’re trying to do here
    1:16:21
    okay i try to get into her rhythm first and try
    1:16:28
    i mean you said she’s dancing with the swords around and kind of things i try actually to to
    1:16:35
    match it uh getting into her rhythm and at some point i try to
    1:16:41
    if i have her rhythm i try to shatter her and if i have a good feeling how it goes
    1:16:49
    i will try to uh maybe dance color out
    1:16:56
    okay so this is a partner kind of disrupt her magical dance right yeah yeah i mean
    1:17:02
    yeah but first i have to get into a rhythm don’t cancelling dance how good are you at
    1:17:09
    dance 90 you’re really good i would like you to knock off 70 points
    1:17:16
    off your dance [Laughter]1:17:22
    that’s how outmatched you are let’s see if i have something to augment
    1:17:28
    it um with singing
    1:17:35
    rhythm rhythm do you have rhythm singing are you going to sing along with this i’ll let you try to augment with
    1:17:41
    sing because you need everything you can get at this point don’t you no i am proud of myself i do not need
    1:17:50
    everything i need only something um
    1:18:00
    let’s see if i have something else which could help me
    1:18:06
    no actually i have my question yes
    1:18:13
    [Music] it’s also not first date isn’t it um
    1:18:21
    i do not offend it i stay to my i could see she’s not singing is she
    1:18:29
    yes she is okay and then saying a happy song she’s singing a very very happy song in
    1:18:36
    a language you don’t understand but it’s got a very upbeat um beautiful
    1:18:42
    a really lovely and beautiful upbeat um story and and she is garen
    1:18:50
    Nisk she is astoundingly beautiful
    1:18:58
    she’s astoundingly beautiful oh yeah i mean sorry i i deal with ghosts by
    1:19:05
    singing and dancing to calms and bounce so i should be able to calm a goddess down
    1:19:11
    i want to show i’ve got a nice picture here from the kids okay can i roll can i roll
    1:19:18
    you can roll oh the thing 58 so it’s a success
    1:19:25
    okay [Music]1:19:31
    all right you are able to get into her rhythm and match her rhythm for
    1:19:38
    um uh a moment here uh for for for the dance here that’s you don’t
    1:19:44
    get a better suppose for my opponent i haven’t done my rant oh okay sorry then you succeed on that yeah how much
    1:19:50
    do i get on my dancing 20. so i have an hour skill of 40
    1:19:55
    yes was it 70 from my 90 yeah and plus so okay
    1:20:05
    22 yes
    1:20:10
    wow you are able to match the red goddesses rhythm here so
    1:20:17
    death is dancing with the with the goddess and what i’m gonna actually see the big effect of that is
    1:20:22
    because you didn’t out dance her but you’re keeping up with her step by step
    1:20:28
    and so as a result of this instead of her getting four more attacks this round
    1:20:35
    on other people um i’m i’m i’m i’m just gonna say that
    1:20:42
    she just gets just smacks two more people in the room
    1:20:48
    but not you because she’s dancing with you so so she’s she’s taking down what four
    1:20:53
    people plus smacked you two yep um
    1:20:59
    and that’s round one so i want to show i’ve got a nice little
    1:21:06
    picture there just uh to give you a feel for [Music]1:21:13
    there we are do you guys see the red goddess
    1:21:18
    except this she only sees two arms yeah yeah that’s from the two arms here well she you know
    1:21:24
    and the mirror the weapon’s a little weak there but there you are there’s um
    1:21:32
    it’s not good so let’s let’s just jump here she’s we’ve got a new round
    1:21:39
    cobras are you taking any additional action um i think i will try to
    1:21:47
    um code callier interaction by
    1:21:54
    sort of you know telling her that
    1:22:01
    um that yes there she is yep what’s this oh to show it again linda
    1:22:10
    can you show it again quickly for phillip okay yeah that looks dangerous
    1:22:24
    has six arms in this one though yeah well right now she has four yeah she changes changes it up the
    1:22:31
    cathedral that god wants yeah
    1:22:36
    so here we are guys with so you’re trying to goat her cobrast yeah by by telling her how
    1:22:43
    once again she has been she has been tricked um by someone obviously because this is
    1:22:50
    not how it’s meant to work the whole thing and whenever she turns and takes that
    1:22:56
    sword and smacks you with it that would be really stupid it would i
    1:23:02
    don’t think she’s gonna do that Gina yeah you’re gonna try to keep distracting her at least
    1:23:08
    ever so slightly with your continued dance Garan what are you doing uh i’m gonna
    1:23:16
    disc uh Niska is gonna cast strength and continue just to do it all out defense
    1:23:22
    actually realize i think i get a bonus if i do that yes you can which i will look up and uh
    1:23:29
    yeah and in cola caller is trying to cast a spell and is
    1:23:36
    then going to try to attack uh the red goddess so i’m the
    1:23:41
    only ones i’m going to roll against otherwise i’m going to hand wave my way through this
    1:23:46
    it’s one person and again she’s just kind of dancing around and pretty much will anyone she hits
    1:23:53
    unless they get a really good parry goes down yeah um so i want to do the two an
    1:24:01
    attack on Garan and an attack on Nisk
    1:24:06
    just to see whether you survived the round all right bring it and
    1:24:12
    and also i know you guys want to attack i know Garan wants to attack her just to be able to say that i hit her
    1:24:20
    because it would make you so happy okay Garan see if you carry her remember you’re um
    1:24:27
    how good is your perry 100 okay so it’s down 25.
    1:24:33
    uh that’s still okay because our older 67. [Music] okay it she hit but she didn’t special
    1:24:41
    and that’s really the big danger for you i think is if she gets a special
    1:24:47
    [Music] oh this probably is blocked by you that’s 4
    1:24:52
    plus 12 that’s 16 plus
    1:24:59
    it’s an only that’s a mediocre role i only did 20 points of damage
    1:25:06
    oh she went through my shield last time yep reducing your shield by one
    1:25:12
    so i’m still okay i can take 21 points of damage
    1:25:18
    okay knock another point off your shield so i can now take 20 points of that Nisk
    1:25:25
    okay um i don’t i didn’t see what the full defense was i’ve never actually never really done that much so
    1:25:32
    i’m not sure if there is a difference on that
    1:25:37
    um but i am 10 better so she’s ten percent worse this rep because of mine so
    1:25:43
    [Music] special just okay
    1:25:53
    excellent you manage you are not going to get damaged this round this round this round
    1:26:01
    she’s pretty so it’s a thunk thunk there thunk on somebody else somebody else
    1:26:07
    perry somebody else goes down um caller slashes at her and Kallyr’s a a good fighter but
    1:26:14
    um she is out i mean every one of you guys are hopelessly outmatched by her that is
    1:26:21
    basically the whole bit is to try to press her because uh caller calls on
    1:26:28
    orlanth to to cast the and cast the biggest dispel magic spell
    1:26:34
    she can muster throws pretty much well all her remaining rune points
    1:26:40
    into dispelling whatever big um defensive magic she has
    1:26:45
    so she casts actually for what it’s worth and call it she cassidy dispel magic 6.
    1:26:53
    good so you are no longer faced with her background lazy
    1:27:01
    shield 5 spell um that she had there and can try to
    1:27:07
    overcome her power do i still spend all the 18 points magic
    1:27:13
    or can i pull yeah okay how would you find yeah yeah how would i know
    1:27:19
    let’s see the role in here the spell is successful but i’m gonna roll the
    1:27:25
    um i’m gonna roll the overcoming in our channel because it’s more fun
    1:27:32
    that way yeah and for all the zero one i really want it to be like
    1:27:37
    because it’s legit um so it’s yeah okay why stop it
    1:27:57
    it’s a good one but it is good uh what is your combined power play what
    1:28:03
    is your power uh mine is 13 and my fetch is 11. i don’t know if
    1:28:09
    yes that’s 24. that’s that is that is really good that would have overcome most folk but but not here you’re
    1:28:16
    dealing with you’re dealing with something you’re dealing with somebody with
    1:28:21
    immense magical resources uh
    1:28:27
    Gina you are you are actually saving people’s lives with your
    1:28:32
    continued dance see see dancing is good
    1:28:37
    i mean i i whatever but maybe maybe i can dance her out does that bother you that all these
    1:28:45
    people now live on true that’s the reason yeah maybe i
    1:28:52
    should stop now this the point is actually i like
    1:28:58
    living people the point is when you’re close to die
    1:29:04
    closer to dying live you should actually die for Kallyr
    1:29:12
    tells everybody um uh to everybody charge her
    1:29:24
    which of you guys are going to charge her more charger here you’re at work he’s already in and
    1:29:30
    garen’s already in cobras are you going to or not well i’ll throw a javelin if that helps
    1:29:36
    now keep in mind if you’re throwing a javelin into a crowd of people i mean she’s isn’t she much larger than
    1:29:44
    everyone else so it’s not just me uh figuring it out wrong she seems to be larger than everybody else
    1:29:50
    but in terms of spatial dynamics she’s the same size as everybody she just is way more
    1:29:56
    important than everybody else
    1:30:01
    no no it’s totally reasonable i mean you watch she’s already taken down four people in two rounds hmm
    1:30:12
    how about you and cola are you gonna dive in yeah i’m just gonna look at my fetches ah my fetch has protection
    1:30:20
    five so it’s gonna cast protection five on me and i’m gonna cast impede chaos on
    1:30:26
    myself before i go in okay that’s gonna read that’s gonna reduce her attacks against you by
    1:30:32
    i believe 20 because she is tainted with the chaos around because
    1:30:38
    or how many points is uh ep chaos because yeah so so i can use all three of my
    1:30:45
    points to reduce her by 60 percent which is pretty good i think it’s 10.
    1:30:52
    20 points per point i’m pretty sure let me look it up here
    1:30:59
    however your yeah 20 points per point um her
    1:31:07
    you do not get sense chaos though no you can roll against it but she does not sense as chaotic no i am
    1:31:15
    i’ve always been completely certain that she is chaos that’s what lunars are okay pass it to my three point and
    1:31:23
    i’m gonna go in and charge him and my fetch casts protection five so okay
    1:31:31
    what is it a lightning bolt ooh okay with that with
    1:31:38
    i pull out a spear you notice i’ve been carrying a spear and uh uh revealing i have this glowing
    1:31:43
    armband and i zap it for that okay
    1:31:48
    i have a 95 chance to succeed
    1:31:53
    defense impairing does not help i roll a 95.
    1:31:59
    so you succeeded exactly yep so she takes 3d6 damage
    1:32:04
    all right ignoring um all protection from metal and i do 11 points nice
    1:32:13
    she’s gonna attack you twice now i thought that would be a problem
    1:32:24
    actually uh yeah she’s gonna attack you twice and cast a spell on you
    1:32:29
    oh good so let’s just go through this here but that hurt that
    1:32:36
    actually that did do damage she got um her physical body here that’s manifested
    1:32:43
    in this into the statue took 11 points of damage al you can uh
    1:32:51
    thunderbolt the cool brass you could thunderbolt the club rust if you want that’s another good option if you have an appointment uh your problem yeah
    1:32:57
    right inside if i had rune points that would be fun you’re also inside remember that’s an
    1:33:05
    outside spell that requires having clout so unless we get some
    1:33:10
    fake clouds in here anyway i don’t have uh i only have one point at this point all right
    1:33:17
    so i’m just gonna go down shall i should we first deal with you Garan yeah let’s do it
    1:33:23
    [Music] remember you’re down 25 on your perry
    1:33:30
    i’ve already parried this round haven’t i no it’s sitting around i didn’t first
    1:33:37
    you did get to oh no you didn’t get to attack last round roll for your attack would be nice on
    1:33:43
    this and if it comes in after calories um
    1:33:48
    zero keep in mind at this time she had shield sticks up
    1:33:59
    but it’s a directory it’s a crit so how much damage what’s your maximum
    1:34:05
    damage my maximum damage is 50 yes 15.
    1:34:14
    okay plus your brake plus rolled and it ignores armor yeah so what’s your role damage but she
    1:34:20
    did succeed with her parry
    1:34:27
    i don’t know if it matters if she just succeeded my role damage is nine
    1:34:32
    so that’s 24
    1:34:38
    all right so that’s going to affect how the order of things so 24
    1:34:44
    does not even though it gets through all armor and everything it still doesn’t take her down she has more than that number of hit
    1:34:50
    points but it means i didn’t cast the spell
    1:34:56
    against Nisk that i thought that she was going gonna cast yeah instead she cast at strike rank
    1:35:04
    one the same time that Nisk blasted her with thunderbolt she she um cast heel body on herself
    1:35:15
    so but you got her you stung her she’s pissed that was her magic there
    1:35:22
    um her hero soul so this was a good attack here Garan you’re
    1:35:28
    gonna get hit twice and Nisk you’re gonna get hit twice
    1:35:34
    okay minus 20 on the second attack what okay no no i’m just minus 20 on my
    1:35:41
    second period right well it’s gonna she is she’s no longer doing eight attacks
    1:35:49
    she’s putting all of her attacks on you two for a round
    1:35:57
    so far until this round Garan you were getting one eighth of her attention
    1:36:06
    well i mean you’re you actually you can write this down you
    1:36:11
    actually cut her she bled you drew blood
    1:36:16
    so did you Nisk the two of you actually got very very close to breaking her and uh
    1:36:23
    breaking her concentration and and sending her in the dance breaking the dance
    1:36:29
    and this may that dance may get broken i’m gonna give her a big minus on her on her dance off with Gina good
    1:36:41
    right Nisk yep previously you had 160 perry right i have 175 right
    1:36:48
    now okay please knock off
    1:36:54
    you actually have the ability to parry she’s going to be kind of stunned by this it’s not a very good chance anymore um
    1:37:02
    but knock off knock off 75 points to your parry
    1:37:11
    okay but she’s she is she’s got the stink eye
    1:37:18
    on you guys the red goddess takes notice of you two in particular and she even comments on
    1:37:27
    this um uh not angrily she’s impressed
    1:37:35
    she actually not once does she seem angry that you cut her Garan or that you fried her Nisk she is
    1:37:42
    impressed with you two um okay neil she got a normal hit
    1:37:51
    i got a normal perry even at minus 75 yeah yeah a normal period
    1:38:01
    okay i have 175 minus 75 is 100. i can still sorry sorry sorry would you please knock
    1:38:08
    off a hundred points off your parry why still perry okay good
    1:38:15
    69 out of 75. nice
    1:38:21
    so good it’s so good it’s so good and that should be you should be fine
    1:38:27
    there 3 12 15. um
    1:38:33
    her crappiest roll is basically as much damage as garen
    1:38:39
    does on a critical hit um
    1:38:45
    yeah that actually less than Garan does on critical hit she did only 17 points of damage
    1:38:50
    no problem then okay Garan do you want that you get two attacks so
    1:38:55
    right i mean jeff two attacks on you so second one okay
    1:39:02
    roll 21 this time another success just a regular though
    1:39:08
    okay i succeed with a 32 so again not a critical or anything
    1:39:14
    [Music]1:39:19
    8 20.
    1:39:29
    uh 25 points of damage okay hit location
    1:39:35
    you feeling it yet oh yeah
    1:39:41
    right arm again okay my right arm doesn’t work anymore
    1:39:50
    aaron you’re looking happy there rich yeah okay would you knock a hundred
    1:39:57
    points off your parry okay that puts me at zero
    1:40:02
    you always have a five percent well let’s try it
    1:40:09
    24 no that’s that’s not gonna quite work can i spend 19 points of luck
    1:40:25
    that’s why i cast all my defensive spells i can’t hit her 12 24
    1:40:38
    28 points of damage
    1:40:46
    that is gonna go through your left arm okay my left arm doesn’t work anymore
    1:40:57
    i believe it’s cut off isn’t it uh
    1:41:04
    [Music] yeah Garan you go down
    1:41:09
    yeah it’s [Laughter] all right Garan goes down she’s not
    1:41:16
    going to make a second attack against you instead she uses that attack to cut down another one of of star brass
    1:41:24
    companions but now EnEnkala
    1:41:29
    she’s minus 60 on dealing with you and she’s ignored you you can make an
    1:41:34
    attack against her that she’s not even gonna parry good let’s see i’m all EnEnkala
    1:41:42
    save me i’ll make a try
    1:41:48
    it’s a regular success but i’m not i don’t do that much damage let’s see
    1:41:56
    six plus two plus two and
    1:42:03
    [Music] do 12 points damage
    1:42:11
    to to our head 20. okay that does not knock her head down
    1:42:17
    negative no but again it draws blood on her um
    1:42:22
    and she is very she’s she is very um uh uh surprised here
    1:42:30
    it is now up to Gina all of these fights here um
    1:42:37
    and she’s been wounded and she’s actually bleeding um would you please roll against your
    1:42:46
    dance but this time i’m not going to give you all of those minuses
    1:42:53
    110 i rolled a 34 i wouldn’t would have even done it with
    1:42:59
    the minuses okay i did get a zero five
    1:43:05
    so she’s able to hold the concentration but for now every round from here on would do a
    1:43:11
    dance role and if you succeed better than she does her ability to manifest will be broken
    1:43:19
    this calls for healing by the way my fetch can come heal you uh how many
    1:43:25
    magic points do you have left my fetch has six left so no i can actually you i can
    1:43:30
    you to heal five because then it’s one left on my fetch one
    1:43:36
    [Music] yeah i can heal three because it i have to ask actually uh because we
    1:43:43
    have there has been several days now where we’ve healed up and we regenerated the
    1:43:49
    magic points from hall of the dead right yeah yeah okay yeah so i do have i can
    1:43:55
    spend five on my fetch five on this
    1:44:02
    okay it’s uh uh it’s it’s it’s you know Kallyr and the others
    1:44:09
    everybody trying to physically attack her is basically pushed i mean it’s pretty clear gary rich well
    1:44:16
    how would you say the reaction of people that are trying to physically hit her generally is going less than optimal
    1:44:24
    yes um we’re round four here
    1:44:32
    four rounds of this she’s taken down um you plus six of calories companions
    1:44:41
    uh at this point it’s a um we got one more round of this
    1:44:48
    she’s not gonna put all of her focus on Nisk
    1:44:53
    she’s gonna do one single normal uh unsplit attack on Nisk um she is gonna just
    1:45:01
    try to kill as many people around Kallyr as she can this round
    1:45:08
    she is going to check you though and call us wow so uh yeah mr or garen
    1:45:15
    do you think yeah karen first if you can yeah okay so sorry i’ll go and heal gasps you could
    1:45:20
    pull him back or something and heal him yeah you gotta touch someone to get them i mean i know he’ll he’ll hate us for
    1:45:26
    this but we’ll pull him to safety and cast uh i mean i i have
    1:45:32
    uh heal three and field trial obviously you can also do something else
    1:45:37
    called if you so choose you can use your heel body your heel wound right now you can spend
    1:45:44
    how many 10 magic points and you will actually reattach his arm and get him fully healed
    1:45:51
    yeah for one rune point plus 10 magic points that’s the heel wound spell yeah i have a healing spell yes you also
    1:45:58
    have the heel wound but the heel wound spell will completely heal his arm
    1:46:04
    okay but again it’s rid of your last run point on the other hand it would it would be
    1:46:09
    quite fun us too with only one arm i mean [Laughter]1:46:14
    oh where is that that’s a difficulty level but i think it’s like both his arms okay all right i’ll
    1:46:21
    do that um all around karen yeah i’m entirely fine
    1:46:29
    arm i shout into the room okay then my fetch doesn’t spend this
    1:46:36
    yeah so i’m gonna just deal with Nisk EnEnkala
    1:46:44
    this will heal himself first by the way okay one because that’s all my healing
    1:46:50
    spell is but my arm now works what’s it was saying is phil char also has a healing
    1:46:55
    three and i guess he’s there somewhere as well or has he run away he’s run away oh come on oh i mean if
    1:47:02
    you had said he’s dead too i would say well yeah anyone who comes into this range around this goddess is just
    1:47:08
    getting it’s it’s like coal breast you’ve stayed out of this
    1:47:13
    uh you’re dragging around you’re dragging uh Garan away but everybody tries to get involved in fighting on
    1:47:20
    this actually phil has not run away filter is just looking in horror yeah okay
    1:47:27
    okay he’ll try to heal Nisk how many uh but there’s body parts and blood yeah and
    1:47:33
    and everything part of the of the trade of becoming a hero
    1:47:39
    so that’s the healing three he’s gone okay okay you’re healed three points so i’m gonna
    1:47:44
    go Nisk would you please subtract 100 from your parry
    1:47:50
    okay a hundred zero six
    1:47:55
    wow special nice one my best parry yet okay
    1:48:02
    so you survive another round there it don’t get worse for once um
    1:48:09
    and cola yeah
    1:48:14
    she gets to mind she gets you’re only minus 25. okay
    1:48:22
    she does something because she’s splitting she’s no Nisk gets her full attention from one arm you
    1:48:29
    get a half arm attention so you’re like getting hit by you know this arm here she’s like
    1:48:36
    incaller and somebody else yeah Nisk by the way i kept forgetting that Nisk is calling her fall
    1:48:41
    foul spawn of chaos things like that that whole rigmarole
    1:48:50
    subtract 25 from your parry please subtract 25.
    1:48:58
    oh i roll a 14. it’s not a special but it’s a very good success that’s that’s very good because as garen
    1:49:05
    will tell you it sucks to be hit by her she does have the minus 60 to hit me though
    1:49:11
    which is kind of nice oh actually that increased your chance of hitting her of of pairing her
    1:49:18
    by 60. oh okay then that then it’s a special okay
    1:49:23
    you’re fine this round yeah but i can hit her back again no you can hear the new round
    1:49:30
    this trend you can hit her back this is round four
    1:49:36
    oh it’s a special i roll a 15. that’s a special no it is not
    1:49:43
    oh how much minus do i have you have a minus what how good is your parry
    1:49:51
    oh no it’s my attack how good is your attack it’s not that good it’s 70. i forgot to
    1:49:57
    um please contract 25. okay well it’s a success then okay she parries
    1:50:07
    me oops 15 points does that get through anything
    1:50:14
    no no no no okay she also i have a quick oh
    1:50:24
    um she smacks um caller
    1:50:32
    let me just see something this could be bad for all of you all she does smack color
    1:50:40
    okay she’s smacks she smacks Kallyr Kallyr perry’s um
    1:50:47
    despite the perry she still smacks Kallyr in the head um and Kallyr is
    1:50:52
    bleeding but conscious um
    1:50:58
    so let’s go to the final bit which is for this round because Nisk has done his stuff
    1:51:03
    everybody’s done their thing except for Gina for the dance off yes
    1:51:10
    i am doing that and i said 27
    1:51:17
    not a problem okay at the end of this round and
    1:51:24
    i had took down Kallyr she took down another let’s see
    1:51:31
    one two one two three four i’m going to say three more
    1:51:39
    so she’s taken down um at this point after this she stumbles
    1:51:47
    slightly in her dance Gina and there is a statue
    1:51:54
    again in the middle of the ceremony we smash it yes we smashed it
    1:52:02
    yeah okay Garan you are healed at this point Kulbrast is everybody gonna dive in
    1:52:09
    and smash how yes yeah i think that’s cold full oh this is such a celebration
    1:52:17
    i mean seriously we just defined the red goddess at the dev as the devil and defeated her and let’s say
    1:52:25
    there are over a dead smell
    1:52:31
    there is over a dozen dead dead folk
    1:52:37
    including most of the ring of sartar
    1:52:44
    the ceremony there are barely enough people caller everybody hexes up
    1:52:50
    and Kallyr then tells people to just come in and try to remake the the uh
    1:52:56
    the knot to conclude the ceremony um but many of the key people
    1:53:03
    many of the key items sacred fires things are supposed to be held up you
    1:53:08
    know the poker cut have been cut down on this the ceremony i mean she continues to perform
    1:53:16
    the rights and you are able to smack the uh statue do you guys cheer a whole
    1:53:22
    lot when you smash the statue i know you do in let’s be honest how about you how about the rest of you
    1:53:29
    all happy to see you i don’t think i’m happy to smash the statue i’m not cheering
    1:53:35
    that we defeated it if that makes sense i’m too cool to cheer oh i’m loving the fact that
    1:53:40
    my my axe has sedenius blood on it and that’s
    1:53:47
    oh my god it is the um despite
    1:53:55
    it this was a disaster um the
    1:54:03
    the the ring is barely able to be formed at the end of this but that but
    1:54:09
    the the the the rights on this do continue um
    1:54:16
    and Kallyr contin despite the disaster Kallyr continues the the rest of the ritual of this
    1:54:23
    um but you know she’s got there’s a few shalena roy
    1:54:29
    priestesses but she’s now in the horrible situation of
    1:54:34
    because she used so much of the magic in order and lost so much of the man
    1:54:40
    that her magic um in large part because of your guys tests
    1:54:46
    in large part because of her pride well in part before because of this
    1:54:53
    she’s not there isn’t the magic there to resurrect the uh people from her
    1:55:00
    her companions and households household that were killed in this so
    1:55:06
    although she’s alive and wounded somewhere between uh somewhere more than
    1:55:12
    a dozen of her household was killed and probably twice that many were seriously wounded
    1:55:19
    i mean keep in mind she was striking eight people around
    1:55:25
    and when she hit people just went down
    1:55:31
    and the people that were all around Kallyr are the the main leaders um
    1:55:38
    uh of the kingdom many of the important religious ceremony religious officials and what you know it
    1:55:44
    is just a blood is it’s been a bloodbath but despite all this color
    1:55:49
    performs the rest of the ritual um of the of the idol with everybody’s aid
    1:55:57
    here um
    1:56:02
    let me just see here the the last little bit on this so you guys may have you know i think i
    1:56:10
    certainly thinking Enkala is pretty pleased with i’m completely loving it i’m sorry
    1:56:16
    i see like no downsides to this whatsoever
    1:56:21
    they’re like there are none oh we messed up her house oh house how sad i mean like
    1:56:29
    seriously i’m sorry yeah um poor Gina is there in the awkward
    1:56:36
    position where Gina has to perform well you know they can’t actually
    1:56:41
    perform the rights of the dead until after this ceremony is over
    1:56:47
    so for two days the bodies have to stay here
    1:56:53
    so for there are two more days of rituals um where um
    1:57:01
    they they are you know there’s that they’re supposed to have the day of gift giving where young the the emperor discards
    1:57:10
    you know his his gar has discarded his garb as the maggot legion is back to being
    1:57:16
    the emperor and he renames the subterranean abode to be the palace of life
    1:57:22
    but of course it’s still covered in blood there is there’s dead people on the
    1:57:27
    ground in the whole the whole bit of you know this this the the day after that that the
    1:57:34
    destruction of the polluted um icon that is supposed to be basically like in easter you know he has risen but it’s
    1:57:43
    instead there’s there’s bodies and blood everywhere um uh the crowds
    1:57:50
    are you know they they order the crap the crowds um from boldhome are brought in
    1:57:58
    and before everybody present yom blesses uh Kallyr and um returns to
    1:58:07
    uh you know the emperors tells Kallyr that she that he returns to her all of which has
    1:58:13
    been lost before and there’s this bit of of saying the triumph over the lunar empire and every from the thing from the
    1:58:21
    occupation that was taken away is given back to you but i the scene
    1:58:27
    is very incongruous it’s very hard to you know there’s a bit
    1:58:33
    where the whole thing just really the disaster of the ceremony just is
    1:58:42
    painfully obvious it’s disastrous but everybody gets their goods back at
    1:58:48
    least the goods that haven’t been broken destroyed or the dead people um
    1:58:54
    and a brand from the eternal fire um to carry everybody’s given a a burning
    1:59:00
    stick uh and there’s what we get we’re getting a burning
    1:59:07
    stick what shall we do with it uh light a fire back at your home
    1:59:12
    so i have to keep it burning well it’s no it’s to relate the hearts fire yeah it’s to relight hearthfires okay
    1:59:21
    and after that you know there’s a a big a big procession out from the
    1:59:27
    royal palace um from the palace of life to the gates to the east
    1:59:33
    as everybody basically goes to to free everyone who has been imprisoned and
    1:59:38
    gathers all who are said to be free but again it’s it’s instead of being this joyous wonderful ceremony of spring
    1:59:45
    you know i think it’s however
    1:59:52
    you know you can imagine how this is and then at the end of all of this
    2:00:00
    um as everybody goes through the gate there is an announcement that the ceremony is
    2:00:05
    over um uh and the the regular world could be return
    2:00:11
    and they’re supposed to be a big feast and that’s where we’ll end is there’s this feast and it’s
    2:00:19
    supposed to be a riotous you know this is the big feast we all eat and party and celebrate
    2:00:26
    and you know have our fertility rights and all of that
    2:00:31
    and instead um this is the point where Gina is asked to take the bodies and cr
    2:00:37
    of the people that have been stinking up the royal palace and and people have to clean the blood
    2:00:43
    and um bodies and and such out of the royal palace
    2:00:48
    the light the sacred time ceremony i mean it was performed
    2:00:55
    but it was pretty it was pretty disastrous and Kallyr is i mean
    2:01:04
    a shaken person by all of this much of her household is dead many of her companions are dead
    2:01:10
    the mayor of johnstown is dead um many of her counselors are dead
    2:01:18
    so that’s where we will end this this has all been prophesized because we heard
    2:01:25
    um ragna glare talk about how his father the devil was about to rise again
    2:01:30
    this was all planned because we didn’t actually get to trap the devil now
    2:01:37
    [Music] the real question is of course who put her up to this stupid idea i mean
    2:01:44
    i don’t look at me i’m doing it at that level this is before we showed up um i have a question did i
    2:01:51
    learn some celestial dance i’m going to figure out i want to yes
    2:01:56
    you will have gained everybody will have gained some insight as a result of this
    2:02:02
    um Gina for having danced with the with the incarnation of the red goddess
    2:02:10
    um you will certainly gain some insight all of you will have gained some insight i mean this was a very
    2:02:16
    very this was either the red goddess or this was a very powerful lunar hero heroine
    2:02:23
    imagine who she could have been oh i have no idea why yeah you’ve never
    2:02:31
    been here in a free form either have you Gina no never ever i have played oh sorry no
    2:02:37
    yeah but it would have been her probably because oh i mean that would be the rumor of folk people would be whispering
    2:02:44
    that that that that was that must have been jar reel the the race and of course did you kill her
    2:02:54
    no no no we’re defeated but you know something she knows who
    2:03:00
    Nisk is and she knows who Garan Grimseeing is because you got you all drew blood on
    2:03:08
    um [Laughter] against one of the most powerful people
    2:03:14
    in the world my axe i’m not sure what to do with my axe now with that blood on it because
    2:03:19
    that’s like yeah i don’t know glowing in the dark
    2:03:24
    so i wanna what i would like to do is put a note to me next session we’re going to figure out the reputation bonus
    2:03:30
    that you guys get from this but of course you also have an issue that caller is not dead and she is princess sartar um
    2:03:39
    and you know it’s entirely possible she may be not entirely thrilled with what all happened
    2:03:45
    and if there’s scapegoats to be needed we did save the situation what do you
    2:03:52
    mean it cannot be yes it’s probably most likely us we wounded
    2:03:58
    a god let cali try yeah that’s the spirit how wounded is
    2:04:06
    she who
    2:04:11
    the red goddess color she’s gonna be healed back up i mean her physically she’s
    2:04:20
    you know i am not somebody dying in this grace always is patching up
    2:04:27
    you have 12 wait you’re just asked to deal with the fact that 12 people from a household are all dead
    2:04:32
    and they’re probably all level true true true true i i actually having a party i think
    2:04:38
    i’m the only happy person here yeah no no and carl is happy too
    2:04:44
    so this is where this is a good stopping point everyone next session we will come in with the aftermath of this
    2:04:51
    great thank you thank you all
