Jake

So this is what happened. Fuck you, Craig. This is what happens. So Donnie's pet went into a deep and dark room without anybody's knowing, going through the evil bars. And when that happened... We decided against our best efforts to keep everybody out to go in and check out how Donnie was doing because he rushed in and got some good saves. The only thing we saw when we walked in there was Donovan coming out and him and Izuka and his familiar... were coughing up black shit and then two rounds they theoretically die

Jake

And then in one round after they theoretically died, they came back to being. And they're staring in front of me.

Jake

Nathan's and you were there. Right? And then Jess, it was behind the block.

Nutty

And you were there?

Pat

He was there and you were there.

Pat

You are home.

Jake

Yeah, Donovan's character looked me straight in the eyes. He said, I'm okay. And he goes, Yeah.

Ozan

All right, can I take Donovan's...

Ozan

Guy to the corner real quick.

Pat

It's tricky. He just opened his eyes. They turned red. He gained a shit ton of buffs and stats. And he is basically superpowered in this very moment.

Ozan

Yeah, can I see what he can do with those superpowers real quick in the corner?

Pat

What he decides...

Pat

Yeah, what do you do to him?

Ozan

I just, you know, the usual real quick.

Ozan

Because it just looks incredible what just happened. And I mean, the hands are probably rejuvenated, right?

Pat

One hands.

Ozan

Miss Hans.

Nutty

His hand's about to go to work.

Pat

Oh, yeah. They're very cold and clammy and strong.

Rich

Bald and clammy hands attacking Donovan or giving him a handjob?

Ozan

Can I just pull him to the side and get it a little handy?

Pat

Yeah, roaming initiative.

Ozan

That's a 13.

Pat

13?

Pat

He hasn't updated his stats with all his bonuses, so it's this plus... 2

Ozan

if we could level it up, don't we?

Nutty

You didn't level up.

Ozan

That's a... High initiative. Actually, I got plus five.

Pat

He goes first in this moment. sees you moving towards him and turns into mist.

Ozan

I shot a fake point hitter.

Pat

If you want to, but Hugo has missed form unless you change your initiative.

Ozan

I mean, I'll take it in mist form. Fuck it.

Jake

Jesus Christ.

Nutty

Handjob's not worth a fake point, man.

Nutty

He's not that good.

Ozan

Can I get a missed handjob maybe? Can we try that?

Pat

Can you try what?

Ozan table talk

Are we all here? I missed Handjob. Oh, Jess is not trying. Yeah, I'll take it. I'll take it.

Pat

Oh, yeah, you can go for it.

Jake

You can call them, Maxi. I take care.

Pat

It's not as moist as you want it to be.

Ozan

It might be more tantric, you know?

Pat

I mean, I know you're into that tantric shit.

Ozan

I think we're good, right?

Pat

So Donnie missed forms.

Pat

What do you guys do?

Pat table talk

Do we have Corlam?

Nutty table talk

I still got a black screen. Is that normal?

Pat table talk

Nah, zoom out, zoom in, zoom out, zoom in. It just means your computer is a piece of shit.

Jake table talk

Hahaha!

Nutty table talk

I zoomed out, I zoomed in.

Ozan table talk

Okay.

Ozan table talk

I'm not where you guys are at.

Nutty table talk

Oh, I see how it is.

Ozan table talk

Was I like sleeping? I don't remember any of this shit.

Ozan table talk

remember being in this room.

Nutty table talk

Yeah, are you even here, Vazan?

Jake table talk

Yeah, I was on because you were dead for about two hours.

Ozan table talk

My

Pat table talk

Yeah, man.

Jake table talk

Really?

Ozan table talk

So what's...

Ozan table talk

But yes, that can be.

Jake

Okay, excuse me, Pat, did Donovan make an action? I'm directly in front of him.

Pat

Yes.

Nutty

He turned to smoke.

Pat

Yeah, he rolled initiative higher than Ozon, and then he turned to mist.

Jake

Um,

Ozan

Wait, is he going to give me the missed handjob? Like, free talk. I'm asking him.

Pat

He is not planning on giving you a missed form handjob.

Jake

I immediately can't can I merely make a roll to go ahead and grab the mist and or punch it?

Ozan

Do this the hard way.

Nutty

I scream at the mist.

Pat

Yeah.

Jake

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing. I can't make a misformed creature try to pull some a la carte bullshit.

Ozan

You like the

Pat

Yeah, roll the hit.

Jake

Ooh, this is going to be a rough one.

Jake

I'm going to roll my base attack bonus.

Jake

Of the top one?

Pat

Was it?

Jake

I rolled a hit.

Pat

What's the total?

Jake

It's going to be Oh, the first one. So 12, 28, and 34.

Pat

12 28 and 34

Pat

do you have magical strikes

Jake

No, I do not. I did not apply them on my thing. Don't know.

Pat

then your hands go through the mist and do not do any damage.

Pat

You punch the mist.

Ozan

Was he trying to punch it or grab it? I thought he was trying to grab it.

Jake

Good. Nailed it.

Pat

You hit the myth.

Jake

Fuck yeah. Nailed it.

Pat

The mist is going towards the cracks and the bats up in the ceiling.

Ozan

I missed.

Nutty

Yeah, that's out of my reach. Good to see you.

Pat

Alright, there's a small hole in the mortar of the castle and it slips through.

Jake

No.

Pat

You no longer see Donnie.

Rich

is that hole in the like we're talking in the ceiling right

Pat

Yeah, so where you are, you're way on the left-hand side of this room, kind of by the spiral staircase. This is directly above the gate that they just went through to get into Strahd's coffin room.

Rich

Okay. It's something that I could levitate to, potentially.

Pat

Yeah, you could. You're about 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40 feet away, 50 feet away, something like that.

Rich

Okay. How big is the hole? Can I see that?

Pat

And it's like just failing mortar in between stones.

Rich

So literally, like, if I became heir, I could get through, but not... I can't become air. All right. Do you think I could turn into air?

Pat

But if you could...

Pat

If you could, that'd be tight. You can get through them.

Jake

That's fucking wishful thinking, dude. Fuck yeah.

Rich

But we're not there yet. All right.

Pat

No, we ain't there yet.

Pat

Alright, as the mist goes through, you guys feel a slight ease in the air that he's gone. And then you notice that the ZOOG isn't around anymore. Throw me perception.

Nutty

But as Duke around before he turned into Myst,

Pat

He was.

Jake

Yeah, he was right there.

Pat

The Zook also turned into mist.

Rich

What am I sure that I see?

Pat

Rich, you're sure that the zoog is still there? He's just hiding?

Rich

He is a crafty little fuck.

Pat

And Todd, you're not sure what's going on at all.

Nutty

That's about right.

Jake

I'm thinking about making a mama's shit. Yeah.

Pat

You're just happy to be here, man.

Nutty

No one's getting past these gates. Oh, that, something just blow past me. What was that? No.

Jake

Can't pull a fast one over old Todd.

Nutty

Ha.

Pat

man, the air is wet in here, but don't worry. There's no vampires.

Nutty

Missed. What missed?

Nutty

We're downstairs. There can't be any mist in here. You guys are crazy.

Pat

Todd never misses. He never misses. Okay.

Pat

What do you do? Or anyone? There's no turn order right now.

Jake

I'd like to tell the party just to reimburse what the fuck happened. Holy Christ. One of our parties.

Ozan table talk

Can you move my token to wherever it's supposed to be? I don't know where these tabs are. I don't want to explore too much.

Ozan table talk

I'm over here. Actually, Nettie or someone, if you can just ping on the map.

Rich

Why do you come to the other bluebirds?

Nutty

Did you see it?

Ozan

Oh, these are chooms, right?

Nutty

Yes.

Nutty

There's the good tomb, and there was the bad tomb, and this is the bad tomb.

Ozan

All right, it's coming back to me. It's coming back to me. Yep.

Ozan

one of us just turned into a vampire and flew out so now we got two vampires to fight right

Jake

Right. I'm scared and I don't like any of it. And now one of them.

Nutty

Well, I mean, there's also the vampire that turned him.

Jake

Right. And he's through this switch in the floor that we can both see. So either we go through the switch in the floor and we fight that vampire or we deal with the problem in front of us. And that is the emanating black death of the casket that we can both see. So.

Nutty

Also, the bars aren't spaced perfectly. We could have some failed checks getting through it.

Jake

Let's not bring up the doubts of Piscope right now, because Piscope will always ring true. Pun intended. Pun intended.

Nutty table talk

I mean, so should we take some more time with the piss coat then? So we had that still going?

Rich table talk

all of us

Jake

No, just don't be a person who has negative checks and acrobatics and they come through or don't.

Nutty

What happens if you do? Don't come through.

Nutty

We should make it so everyone can get through freely so we don't have to... Because if you get some shit, if something goes down, like, I don't know, something turns into a vampire and starts coughing up black stuff and you need help, no one's going to be able to help you if they can't get you to the bars.

Jake

You know what? When you're wrong, you're wrong. But when you're right, you're right.

Nutty table talk

So who got some pee in them?

Jake

No, just run through the bars.

Nutty

I mean, I could make it, but I'm not sure that everyone else can. No.

Jake

Jess can make it. Our eyes are still on Jess, by the way.

Rich

You guys will not attack me for going through.

Nutty

Jess doesn't get hurt by the bars.

Jake

Right.

Jake

Hey, Jess, you want to tell everybody what happened when you were paralyzed and you touched the bars?

Rich

I'm not really sure to be honest. I just,

Nutty

I played the fifth.

Jake

Yes, I'll be cool.

Ozan

What kind of save was it?

Jake

Jesse, you can speak freely. This is a safe space before we saw one of our party being turned into a vampire dying in front of us and turning into mist. You know what, Jess? This is a safe space for you to talk freely. And now we'd like to hear all about it.

Ozan

kind of save, wasn't it?

Rich

I don't know how I wasn't impacted by the bars. I wish I did. I wish I could tell you.

Jake

That's fair. But sus,

Rich

I'm sorry. Thank you, Laura. Fair enough.

Pat table talk

Fair butt sauce.

Jake

That's fair, but it is.

Ozan

What do you know, though?

Rich

Bye, guys.

Ozan

If you don't know that.

Rich

I mean,

Pat

Yeah, Jess, what do you know?

Rich

as much as you do about these cars.

Ozan

something.

Rich table talk

We could always use more piss coats.

Pat table talk

It's just not going to save you the whole game.

Nutty table talk

Pat, you gave us Pisco. We're not putting it away.

Jake table talk

Yes, it is. Yes, it is.

Pat table talk

I didn't give you Pisco. Now you had that inside the whole time.

Jake table talk

Piss coat forever. It's already studded in the back of my jacket. We can't go back on this thing.

Ozan table talk

Scientifically proven.

Pat table talk

The MIT kids were all over it.

Rich

It's either I go through or everybody that feels really springy goes through or we all roll them dice, metaphorically.

Jake

Who is through those?

Jake

I'm through.

Ozan

Are these just bars with no lock on them? Is there a lever somewhere to lift them and shit?

Pat

It looks like you could lift the bars with a lever of some sort.

Ozan

Well, just since you're not affected,

Pat table talk

They're just bending them with Pisco.

Ozan

I just like look for a way to open these things.

Rich

I'm going to

Pat table talk

They've already been opened with Piscote.

Rich

go through. Do I need to roll anything or do I just go through?

Rich table talk

Oh, come on, man.

Rich table talk

Y'all still there?

Pat table talk

Yeah, we still here.

Ozan

What's going on with the whole situation? Can we go through?

Pat

Yeah, the... The... The bars are open 18 inches wide via Piss Coat.

Rich

Hell yeah.

Pat

So just go through.

Ozan

Alright, we'll go through. I'll go through. I'll go through, Bryce.

Pat

Roll me in acrobatics not to touch your tummy on the way through.

Pat

You don't touch your tummy on the way through.

Rich

I'm going to not even bother and like deliberately touch it with my tummy on the way through just to like double check.

Pat

You touch the bars, roll me a, roll me a 42 tip.

Rich

Oh, sorry. Sorry. Wait, that's the wrong one.

Pat

Nothing happens.

Rich

I accidentally clicked on Rich's thing. Okay.

Pat

Nothing happened.

Rich

Rad.

Nutty

I roll to get through.

Ozan

Who's got that torch? Can we move that torch up in here?

Ozan

well.

Rich

myself

Ozan

What do we have here?

Rich

Yeah, I'm going to cast reduced person on myself and then go through.

Ozan

You got it. It's not a... We don't know that. All right.

Rich

I don't know that. I'd rather just be tinier and walk through nonchalantly without the roll.

Ozan

What is this thing, Pat? This thing over here, this over there?

Ozan

James?

Pat

Which thing?

Ozan

This. This. This.

Pat

I don't see it. That is an alcove. You walk into it?

Ozan

No, I'm looking into it. It looks like there's something in it. Is there something in it?

Ozan

here.

Pat

Yeah, there's a character in that. I don't think that character is in there anymore.

Ozan

What are in these halcops?

Pat

Nothing is in those alcoves.

Ozan

They're just this big coffin.

Pat table talk

There is a character in there. It is Donnie's character who is no longer in there. Donnie's character, delete, is no longer on this map. There is nothing in any of these alcoves.

Ozan

Got it. And then there's a casting here, right?

Pat

And there is a, yep, there is a casket in the center. a coffin.

Ozan

You have a lot of shields.

Nutty

Me? Is that me?

Ozan

I see many shields that I've seen most people.

Nutty

You want one? You want to hold these shields?

Ozan

I have a shield actually. I have a little dark wood shield.

Ozan

which I hold out in front of me.

Nutty

I mean, what is our...

Ozan

Does anyone have way of like... In fact, we lost the detect magic trick.

Nutty

That's right, yeah.

Ozan

and detect magic.

Ozan

traps Can you check the coffin for traps?

Rich

Yeah, I was actually just looking at, I have... I'm pretty sure... Hold on. Give me a second. I have...

Rich

something

Ozan

Does the coffee nap traps?

Pat

What are you using to detect it?

Ozan

I think they just dropped.

Pat

perception or your fingers?

Ozan

perception.

Pat

or are you trying to detect them? Just looking.

Ozan

I'm not touching them. Yeah, I'm looking very closely.

Pat

For the 22, you see no traps.

Rich

I'm sorry, it took me a minute to find it. I do have Detect Magic at will, so I'm gonna do that as part of my drow nobility.

Pat

The coffin is magical.

Rich

coffin is magical. Has anyone touched it?

Jake

I tell them please do not touch that. Ask it.

Ozan

Does anyone know how to dispel?

Rich

Has anyone touched it yet?

Rich

Like just opened it, looked under the lid.

Ozan

No one's touched it. No one's touched it.

Ozan

I want to start shit.

Rich

Does anyone mind if I try that?

Ozan

Touching it?

Jake

I mind heavily.

Rich

That's why I asked. I thought you were going to...

Ozan

I don't mind.

Nutty

Well, someone has to touch it, right? So if we're going to open it,

Ozan

Unless we have Dispel Magic, yeah.

Rich

quick

Nutty

kind of immune to things. Perk at, I don't know.

Rich

cast mage armor for this shit.

Rich

Can I tell what kind of magic it is?

Pat

Yeah, necromancy.

Rich

mention that, you know, seems to have magical properties and death magic

Jake

Looking at the room, is there a teleport pad on the other side of the floor?

Pat

It's hard to see if it's teleport pad. You see three alcoves. What are you looking for when you're asking Teleport Pad? Let's see.

Jake

When I say pad, it just meant a thing on the floor that looks different than anything else.

Pat

Nope, just looks like regular floor.

Ozan

I drink my... I do a chemical allocation that lets me drink a potion without consuming it with my bark skin plus five.

Rich

And would anyone mind me trying to open it with my sword, maybe?

Rich

Like pry it. Like...

Jake

As long as you don't touch it with your hands, 100%.

Rich

Okay, I will...

Ozan

Why don't you want her to touch with her hands? just because you're concerned about her health?

Rich

Doesn't trust me.

Jake table talk

Concerned about physical touch with magical objects? I don't know. I don't know. My name is Woo. I don't know the Woo Juke.

Ozan table talk

Yeah, I mean, I'm with Wubu. Wubu Tang.

Ozan

So what happens with the sword situation then?

Pat

What are we doing?

Ozan

I think she poked on it with a sword, right?

Pat

Did you?

Ozan

Yes.

Rich

Do I need to roll anything to do that, Pat?

Pat

No, I just don't know what you do.

Jake

No, just don't want to do. Just describe it in detail.

Rich

Like, it's a...

Rich

Heal. I pull out my katana and kind of try to force the blade between the lid and the coffin itself and...

Pat

The blade flips in between the coffin and the lid. You feel the weight of the lid, and you see it forming a gap. And as it forms a gap, you see the blade slip inward, and it is working. What do you do?

Rich

Okay. I leveraged that shit up. Kind of tried to pry it to see what's inside.

Pat

it's fairly heavy and it's putting a little bit of a bend on your blade as you're pushing down to leverage it but it is opening

Rich

I don't hurt my blade. So let's stop at like maybe six inches just so we can see inside it.

Pat

You get about a half of an inch before you start worrying about the blade because of the weight of the lid.

Rich

Oof, okay. I am going to stop at half an inch and mention that I'm worried that this is going to harm my weapon. If I go much farther, it's kind of heavy. Can anyone see a thigh with this much of a crack?

Jake

I would, I cannot. I am currently trying to examine the hole that Donnie escaped through.

Nutty

How did he do that? That son of a bitch.

Pat

You see crumbling mortar in between the stone...

Rich

Are you still involved?

Pat

up there so as it's hard to see because of all of the bats but there is mortar on the ground where he weaseled through you can see it's like coming through

Jake

All right. Okay. We're out with the sword.

Pat

Mario with the sword.

Pat table talk

Yes?

Pat table talk

Can I see you there?

Rich table talk

Uh,

Jess table talk

How about now?

Pat table talk

Yeah, I can hear you.

Jess table talk

Okay, cool. Sorry, I'm waiting for Rich to mute me, or his thing. Because I can just hear myself and it's driving me apeshit.

Pat table talk

Oh, yeah, just have them here, yeah.

Jess table talk

Okay, sorry, I didn't, never mind. Why am I still talking in my ear?

Jess table talk

What did you say, Pat, that I missed earlier while this is happening?

Pat

I asked you what you're doing.

Jess

I asked if anyone could see in with the half inch that I was able to pry it open. And is that a no?

Pat

difficult to see them.

Ozan table talk

Bye, see you later.

Jess

Difficult to see in. Okay. Is there anyone... who has a stronger weapon perhaps like Or something to hold it open or pry it open? Or should I just give up on this?

Nutty

I do not.

Ozan

What about the shield?

Ozan

I guess I have a shield.

Nutty

I mean... Yeah, I was like, is that going to be better than a sword?

Jess

I mean, it's less bendy, I would think.

Ozan

Shields are meant to take a beating. I'll try with my shield. Can I try the same thing with my shield? How far do I get?

Pat

So you put your shield in and add leverage?

Ozan

Yeah, and I'm not trying to hurt my shield, right?

Pat

So as you stick your shield into the gap to pry it up, roll me a fortitude save.

Ozan

SSR 5

Pat

You turn to stone.

Jess

Oh, shit.

Jake

God fucking damn it.

Rich

I think Donnie was our guy to undo that too. So we,

Jake

No, he's not. Donnie's one of them.

Nutty

Yeah, that's what I said was...

Rich

You guys want to...

Rich

Could say fuck it and go cart this cement man back to town. Have the priest fix this and try again later.

Jake

No. No. Jacques, you involve a mortar in the corner. There's your susses. Damn it, dude.

Rich

Because I got nothing.

Jess table talk

Bye guys.

Rich

I do not have breaks.

Rich

I don't think Dispel Magic is going to cover this.

Jess

Worth trying.

Jake

Hey Jess, when you were turned to stone, how long did it feel?

Jake

I mean, I know you were turned to stone for just a quick second in our time, but how long did it feel?

Jess

I didn't feel long. I'm not sure I perceived time.

Jess

Short.

Jess

I look kind of like...

Jess

I don't know. I'm confused. I, too, am confused.

Jake

Because he turned us down for just a second. And now I think just a second has passed. And ozone is stuck longer for than a second.

Jake

And now I'm starting to really worry and questioning the world around me.

Jess

Maybe it has only been a second...

Pat

A minute passes.

Nutty table talk

Ha.

Jess

I just touch Ozan with my finger. Like... Poke him, you know, the statue O's on.

Pat

Yeah, he's stoned.

Jess

Jacques Crusoe. Okay, definitely Stone. What about Detect Magic? Is he magical?

Pat

He is emanating magic.

Jess

OK. What kind?

Pat

necromancy actually no stone to flesh to stone is what is that con enchantment i believe or no it's the other one what's the one where you turn into things trans transmutation magic

Jess

Chantman.

Jess

Illusion. transmutation.

Jess

okay. Now, do we want to try to spell magic?

Nutty

Jake, you got that magic sword, right?

Jake

Basically, it's basically half of Magic Sword. And it's

Nutty

Maybe you can dink him and knight him, and maybe that will dispel stone or something.

Jake

I touch Ozone with the blade of the magic sword that I wield. You have the blade with the magic sword, you touch Ozone? Yes.

Pat

blade of the bench so that we... You have the blade with the magic sword. You touch Ozan. It does nothing to Ozan, but Jess, you still have to detect magic going on.

Jess

Yeah.

Pat

You notice when he touches Ozan's stone with the sword, it completely disrupts the magic that's on Ozan for a moment. And then the stone leaves, and then the magic comes back.

Jess

Whoa.

Jake

Does he become human when I touch him?

Rich

And that's not really good.

Jess

And that's what my character says. Whoa. As he touches him with the sword.

Pat

You see, no, like you see flesh begin to form for a second where the, where the sword touches him and then it leaves and then flesh turns back to stone. Like it's interrupting it. The magic.

Jess

Okay, and does everybody else see that?

Pat

Yeah, everybody sees that.

Jake

Yeah, I hold the blade to his forehead.

Rich

I think I'm gonna... dispel magic on Yeah, I'm going to try to dispel magic. See if I can break this and breathe the ozone.

Jess

You can break these cuffs.

Pat

That's the spellcraft there, Rich.

Rich

And I'm going to use my special ability and add my 3 plus my character level through... Yeah, like... Energizing. So it'll be... my character level plus my character level plus three.

Rich

29. I want to say...

Pat

I was on the subject of the flesh.

Ozan

There I'm back in flesh.

Pat

Yep, dispelled.

Ozan

So how did time feel for me, Pat? Did I know everything I was going on or did it just skip forward?

Pat

Yeah, you experience time in stone. You're just chilling.

Ozan

Solid.

Pat

You were hella solid. He did.

Jake

You're hella solid. Hey bud, welcome back there. Jesus Christ, we thought you lost ya. Are you solid?

Nutty

Give them a mirror check.

Pat

a lot of time really

Jake

Hey, Ozan, you want to look into this mirror for just a second?

Pat

Ozone has full reflection.

Ozan

Yeah, I'm curious too.

Ozan

Alright, so it turns you into stone.

Nutty

Is it still magical? Is there some good soul sent magic room?

Ozan

Oh, yeah, did it dissipate, the magic?

Pat

You no longer have any magic over you. It was just...

Ozan

Not all the coffee.

Jake

Can I see where Donovan's blood loss was over in the corner? Can I see where he...

Ozan

Was it like a magical trap?

Jake

basically what Messi came back from.

Pat table talk

What was the last question?

Jake

I just want to see Donovan's blood trails from when he came back and In and out of space. Because I came and entered the room. And then Donovan... He was teleported and dropped right in front of the bar's.

Pat

He was teleported and dropped right in front of the bars.

Jess

didn't really

Jess

turn to stone when I touched the this thing if we want to explore this further may I open it with my hands

Pat

Can you touch it?

Jess

I don't know.

Pat

Let me know what you know.

Jess

Well, I mean, did...

Ozan

I think I see a reasonable theory here because it's certainly turned me into stone and... Did you have to...

Jess

And you didn't even touch it, right? You touched it with your shield only.

Ozan

Yeah, I touched it the same way as you did. But didn't you roll a 4 to 2, say? Oh no, that was before. That was before. Never mind.

Jess

That was to come into the room.

Ozan

Jake, any concerns here?

Jake

Yeah, a lot of concerns. I just kind of don't know what happened in the past three seconds. And my brain's just trying to, like, gather it all. Because you just turned to stone, and then you became my first worry. And since the last person in about two minutes that I saw turn to stone was Jess... And she came back instantly and you were not. So you looked in the mirror and how are you feeling?

Ozan

I'm feeling fine. I feel like I turned into a storm for a little while. So have you ever been turned to stone?

Jake

You know what? No, I haven't.

Ozan

It's a trip, man. It's a trip. Really get time to think about how you got there and where things took a turn, you know?

Ozan

Anyways, I did that for five seconds. Or no, actually. one minute.

Jake

I have a stern eye bump at Rich.

Jake

I look over at Rich and I give him a stern eye. Like, I've never, because I've never seen anybody turn to stone. And the things that I'm compelling to Richard with my eyes is everything okay after he dispels magic?

Rich

Well, I think so. It's not like I tried to undo him being a vampire.

Ozan

You look worried, buddy.

Jake

Yeah, but it's kind of a thing.

Rich

I'm just pleased that worked out. I thought...

Ozan

I'm going to go give Woo-Woo a hug. I feel like Woo-Woo is stressed right now. Woo-Woo, it's okay. It's okay. Oh, here. I'm safe. Except Donnie, but you know.

Rich table talk

Open up this town and fight somebody, bro.

Ozan table talk

Time to have you do some.

Pat

Everyone hears a gigantic bell ringing. It rings once, twice, three times, all the way up to 12 times. It is now 12 in the afternoon.

Ozan

It's time for lunch break.

Nutty

Yeah, I was going to say, dinner time?

Jake

It's kind of midday.

Jess

Maybe we could just sit down and have lunch about it.

Ozan

Yeah, let's have a little kumbaya circle right over here. Nice little talk.

Nutty

Just use this coffin as a picnic table.

Jess

Just sit down, think about things over like a trail mix or whatever.

Ozan

How many Dispel Magics do you got?

Jake

I take my sword and I pry open that coffin.

Rich

the one I have.

Rich

Yeah.

Pat

Jake, the moment you touched your sword to the coffin,

Pat

your sword slips into the crack and nothing else happens.

Nutty

This mess has been outcast.

Rich

Like it was...

Jess

Like it was sucked in.

Jake

I use leverage and I throw the coffin up and over the head onto the ground. I have the hilt of that...

Pat

the head onto the ground. What kind of story do you have?

Jake

Dawnblade. You're using the sword.

Pat

You're using the sword that you found here. And it pries up with the sword. The sword does not feel any resistance. It's very easy for it to lift off with it.

Jess

I see.

Rich

little

Jess

Little applause.

Jake

What do I see?

Pat

The top of the lid, do you just tumble it onto the ground or do you slide it over and peek? How do you do?

Jake

I brace the sword in between the joints of the sarcophagus, and then I give it an old heat of hoe for the top off to the ground. I assume it's heavy.

Rich

Knock that shit right off.

Pat

All right, it falls to the ground. It does not take damage. And inside you see an empty coffin.

Nutty

Fuck.

Rich

Protect magic.

Nutty

It's not even like a coffin pillow or anything?

Rich

Nothing.

Pat

I mean, yeah, Todd. There's actually some creature comforts in there. You see a little teddy bear. You know, you got a little blanket. No, motherfucker, it's plush, but empty.

Jake

but where are this vampire stuffed animals though

Nutty

Everyone gets scared at night.

Rich

Where's the dude who's supposed to be in here?

Pat

And it's daytime.

Nutty

OK, who wants to hide in the coffin and ambush the vampire while we go do something else?

Pat

Sounds like a hard job to me.

Jake

That is not a bad idea. That is not a bad idea. That is not a bad idea.

Rich

Well, wouldn't the vampire wouldn't the vampire staff at night?

Rich

and sleep during the day isn't that how it works

Jess

Maybe that's this.

Pat

Yeah, you would think that those rules would apply here.

Nutty

He can also not sleep. He's inside his castle, so he can just walk around.

Rich

It was like, he knows we're here. That'd be really stupid to be like, oh, it's fine. I'll take a nap.

Jake

Yeah, until we make a wrong move, and then he gets another one of our fucking parties. Are you guys really forgetting that for 20 seconds ago, one of our parties turned into a vampire, gave me a finger, him and his fucking familiar, then turned into mist, and then floated up into the ceiling.

Rich

can't be turned into a vampire.

Nutty

forgot about him. Who are we talking about?

Rich

haven't really been actually attacked too violently by this guy. We were invited and then we've just kind of been wandering around. We never really figured...

Pat table talk

The only attack has really been Jake throwing a roll, man.

Nutty

Technically, this could be like a...

Jess

Maybe these are like

Nutty

I feel like we're doing a bad job if that's the case.

Ozan

I could just...

Jake

Okay, it's 12. It's 12. I would love to find the hilt of the sword. This coffin had nothing in it.

Nutty

It could be like this recruitment process.

Nutty

So should we go kill the guy that turned Donnie? I mean,

Jake

I'm out for vengeance right now. Yeah.

Jess

Where was Donnie? Where did he disappear? Where was that?

Jake

Apparently from his blood and from where he was laying, it was right over there. And then I gesture. Just out.

Pat

He was lying. He was right over there. Just outside. Right here. on the map, just outside the gate here.

Jess

I meant when he went to go check on his preacher. Where was that?

Pat

down here. Left alcove.

Jess

I want to explore that a little before we just gallivant off into the, you know, the wherever. I'm gonna... Before we leave...

Pat

It looks like the other two alcoves. You don't see any. Are you down there?

Jess

I'm going to move here and look in there. Just kind of like, cause we all saw him go race after his little guy.

Nutty

Yeah.

Pat

Yeah, this alcove right here looks the same in regards to you don't see any noticeable panels. You don't see anything on the walls. The pattern on the floor differs slightly. than these three but nothing that like you can roll me perception check to see

Jess

I am going to do that. I also...

Jess

Sorry. I'm thinking maybe detect magic.

Jess

Let's start here. Hell yeah, I perceive the shit out of that thing.

Pat

It doesn't look differently, but you can tell with Detect Magic that this alcove is magical and the others are not.

Jess

Okay, I mentioned that one of these things is not like the other, but this alcove seems magical in some way.

Jess

to the others and then I start to step forward.

Jess

I'm just going to move here into the entrance of it. Check my blind spots.

Pat

you are the entrance of the alcove.

Jess

Did anyone hear me say that this is all magical and shit?

Ozan

It's all magical.

Pat

The left alcove is magical.

Jess

Yeah, I say, hey guys, this alcove seems to be different from the other ones. Giving me a, I don't know, it's magic in some way. Do I know what way, Pat?

Pat

Yeah, transmutation.

Jess

It's not in like a death way. Like the... coffin was

Jess

Cool. I say that out loud to the people.

Jess table talk

Speaking of the people, that could totally be, we could be the people's party as far as like our band name if we wanted.

Ozan table talk

Yes.

Ozan

Nadi, the Akron on the left.

Ozan table talk

But Nutty, the alcove on the left is magic and our party name is the People's Party.

Nutty table talk

How did that happen? I was gone for two minutes.

Ozan table talk

We had a vote.

Rich table talk

I don't know.

Ozan table talk

You, I think, abstained.

Rich table talk

was you know there was audio recording weren't here for it

Ozan table talk

The people decided.

Nutty table talk

I mean, that's how voting works. Gotta go with it.

Jess table talk

Doesn't seem fair to, like, march forward. I'll wait.

Rich table talk

March forward. I'll wait.

Rich

question is, do we want to go

Rich

into something that pretty quickly fucked over Donovan. Like, it was seconds, and he was, like...

Rich

Yeah, overruled. Do we want to do that? Especially one at a time. Do we really want to do that?

Ozan

The way that Donnie went.

Jess

We are many. Donnie was one.

Rich

If you go through there alone, you're one.

Jake

Oh, fuck you too, bro.

Ozan

Was this the way that Donnie went?

Nutty

It's like somebody ride on someone's shoulders and we go two at a time.

Jess

Nuddy's thinking.

Nutty

Safety in numbers.

Jess

I like the way you think.

Nutty

And then we could have a guy go on all fours, and then we'll totem pull it, and we just get set on him. And then we go through. That's three.

Rich

I did shrink myself so I'm small.

Ozan

You can probably just hold hands and jump on it at the same time, yeah.

Nutty

You could do that.

Ozan

and

Rich

Cool.

Jess

Go on.

Ozan table talk

an unstable power grid? I don't know. Texas maybe, they're not known for their power goods.

Jake table talk

Well, it is Texas. I mean, I mean, you know.

Ozan table talk

I hear that she goes down all the time.

Jake table talk

Talk about taking your power grid for granted. These people have mastered it.

Ozan table talk

Just burn someone out of oil, baby!

Jake table talk

Oh, man, no, it's a lot worse than that. If you don't think you're exploiting your labor force, come to Texas.

Rich table talk

Is it worse than Roswell?

Ozan table talk

Go on.

Rich table talk

Take us there, Jake.

Jake table talk

No, Roswell is just the worst place to be, period. So that's a little bit different. Roswell is the worst place in America. No. In America.

Rich table talk

I'm going to keep checking in to see if there's a worse place. I'm going to keep checking in. You might find someone.

Ozan table talk

Instead, Roswell is the worst.

Ozan table talk

Trying to keep people away from Roswell, is that it?

Jake table talk

Oh, no. It's just shit. It's just a giant, barren land. Okay. I do give Roswell its plus. It's a grift. The whole thing's a grift. Aliens, whatever. People come there. There's only one road in Roswell. I get it. It's a grift. They're like, hey, come see aliens. Oh, there's aliens. Whatever. I get it. Fuck that town.

Rich table talk

around here but it's in the desert

Pat table talk

Yeah, all Roswell is meth and lies.

Rich table talk

Oh.

Jake table talk

Ding.

Pat table talk

Gang.

Rich table talk

about secrets. The truth is out there.

Pat table talk

The truth is here. All right.

Ozan

Oh, he's back. I think we're going to all hold hands and jump through the magic, right?

Pat

What do you guys think?

Jess

So everybody's back.

Ozan

or stack up Yeah, everyone's back.

Jess

This alcove be magic, yo.

Rich

FEMAD.

Nutty

Did we check the other non-magical alcoves?

Pat

Okay, so you're in front of the alcove and you're holding hands.

Pat

Okay.

Jess

I'm going in.

Pat

Which tokens? I see Jess, I see Jacques, I see Todd, and I see Tuttle's. We got a woo you're going into?

Jake

We was going in too.

Pat

On three. One, two, and everybody teleports.

Ozan

Come on, everyone. Turn to stone.

Nutty

teleport turns us all into vampires. Son of a bitch.

Rich

to us do.

Jake

No, Jesus Christ.

Rich

I'm going to be.

Jess

It's coming.

Pat

Copy these tokens and place them where they go.

Pat

Everybody teleports, zoom out and look.

Pat

to where you are

Ozan

Is that the start of the path that we had or I remember these things?

Pat

Yeah, you appear right there.

Ozan

What's that center here?

Pat

Well, hold on. There's a vampire in front of you. I just can't find his token.

Jake

Ah, shit.

Nutty table talk

laughter

Ozan

Oh shit.

Jake

Yeah, fuck it. You son of a bitch.

Pat

rolls me a will save and then if you succeed your will save an initiative

Nutty

Oh boy. What are we shooting for here?

Pat

You're shooting for a champion.

Ozan

I'm gonna use inspiration.

Ozan

loop-dee-blop, he said, I'm shooting for 20.

Pat

Yes.

Ozan

I'm not even going to calculate that because I think that if I'm trying to clear 20, I apply that to... I'll double check I can do that. But everyone else roll.

Nutty

God damn it, Todd. God damn it, Todd!

Jess

I feel the same about mine.

Pat

Would you guys roll?

Nutty

the three.

Pat

Anyone get over 20?

Rich

Again ready to roll I am going to use my ability for the second time and add nine to it and

Jake

No.

Jake

If it's an enchantment, then yeah.

Nutty

Everyone's pulling out their saves. Pat, is this the fear effect?

Nutty

No, seriously, is this a pure fiction?

Rich

30. My total is 30.

Pat

is not a fear-sight

Jake

Am I confused or on survivor?

Pat

You said you had an inspiration there, Nozon. Does that make it so that you have higher than a 20?

Ozan

Yes. I argument I'm trying to figure out what actually.

Ozan

1E6. Okay, yeah, I think I'm going to make it because you said I rolled a 19. I can roll a little.

Ozan

plus three 22. 22.

Pat

Alright, so what for total? Point here. Alright, Ozan, you are not dominated by the vampire.

Pat

Everyone else.

Rich

Hey, I got a 30, motherfucker. He did not dominate my ass.

Ozan

30...

Pat

So Jake, Todd, Jess... All three of you have an undying desire to go towards Strahd and present your body to him.

Nutty

Ha.

Pat

your neck, your blood, and your life.

Jake table talk

My pussy and my crack.

Ozan table talk

You got to teach me how to do that, baby.

Pat table talk

Your pussy and your crack, Jake.

Jake table talk

the image.

Jess table talk

Yeah.

Jake table talk

Damn it. Those are my best parts.

Jess

Say hello and bow deeply and start marching.

Pat

Yeah, you guys like he's your he's your fucking friend. He is your master in this moment in time. And he desires that you march forth and present your neck to him.

Jess

Call me Renfield.

Rich

I cast a motherfucking fireball.

Ozan

Right, we're close.

Nutty

I mean, yeah, we're also potential enemies. Kill everybody!

Pat

Everyone roll me initiative as in –

Jake

Rich, you hit that shit and you hit it hard. You hit us all with that. I don't give a fuck. I got a couple of hit points. It's fair. Get me out of this.

Nutty

I don't know.

Pat

Everyone roll me an issue.

Jess

Roll you what? Initiative?

Pat

initiative.

Jake

Jesus, check out Christ.

Rich

That's your way.

Ozan

I'm also going to...

Jess

Absolutely.

Nutty

Good job. Good job, Todd. A 2, a 3, and a 2 so far for my rolls today.

Ozan

Another inspiration here for me, plus six, it's my 17.

Ozan

23.

Jake

15.

Pat

I was on 23, 15, JB.

Nutty

Ozon almost beat all the rolls I've done so far combined with 1d6.

Jake table talk

Ah, come on, Tad.

Nutty table talk

could do stuff, I swear.

Pat

Rich, you got a 16?

Rich

Yeah.

Rich

I did indeed.

Pat

Okay. Ozan, you go first. You are nominated.

Ozan

I'm not dominated, right?

Pat

You're not dominated.

Ozan

And this is Strahd.

Pat

This looks like straw, the same guy you had dinner with.

Nutty

Can you describe those statues?

Pat

Yeah, they are like clay golems.

Nutty

Is there like a door behind him, or is this like a locked room?

Pat

Yeah, let me describe the room. Okay, 78.

Pat

So you have a red velvet curtain behind you.

Pat

70, 80.

Pat

Room is 30 feet square, rising to a 20 foot tall flat ceiling. Gargoyle creatures smile, revealing their teeth from high upon the walls, well lit by a brazier that burns fiercely in the center of the room. From their alcoves in the center of the east and west walls, two clay statues stand saluting with their weapons bared. Each statue has four arms, one with a shield, one with a sword, and the remaining two with their palms towards the ceiling over their heads. Their eyes seem to watch you as you walk through the room, high overhead and hourglasses with writing on its base hanging suspended above the brassiere. All of its sand is in the upper portion, somehow refusing to run down to the bottom. In the center of the room next to the brassiere is a golden chest. A single door stands to the south wall, while three doors line in the north wall.

Ozan

I'm going to...

Ozan

I'm going to go...

Ozan

shakes nuts and say snap out of it

Pat

Jake, Romeo Wilson.

Jake

Oh, I get a will save. Thanks for touching the nuts, Azan. It's a crucial and lovely part that gets me a free will. Willy dilly. I'm so sorry.

Pat

You have a movement and then it's turn.

Jake

He has two hands. That's another nut he can grab.

Ozan

I'm going to...

Nutty

The man has three attacks.

Ozan

As my move action, I'm going to study Strahd, which will give me bonuses later.

Ozan

Studied combat. Alright, that's my turn then.

Pat

Rich, what do you do?

Rich

He's going to fucking cast that fireball.

Pat

How do you place it?

Rich

right in the corner over here.

Jake

Rich, if you can hit with that fireball, please do it.

Rich table talk

I was actually going to say you're the only person I have to hit besides hitting. All right.

Nutty

Same team killing fuck. Fireball everybody.

Pat

You place it right in the corner. Don't we spellcraft? Don't botch.

Jake table talk

He wants you to botch. He's always wanted you to botch.

Nutty

I don't know.

Pat

You don't botch. Boom.

Pat

He hits straw with a fireball. Roll damage.

Nutty

There's more where that came from, motherfucker.

Rich

26. I can echo it. I can fire it again.

Pat

What is echo?

Rich

I can use my drain... brain power thing for the wizard and recast a spell. I've already cast one for each spell level.

Rich

So as long as I've already cast one, I get a semi-blank spell slot.

Pat

Thrawn fails his save but uses an ability to instantly succeed his save.

Nutty

Jake, you got one of those?

Rich

while I watch it fail.

Pat

But he still takes half damage.

Rich

by my boo.

Pat

How much damage?

Pat

He takes 13 damage. You see burns on his face.

Pat

It is... JB, your turn.

Jake

I am... by my master.

Jake

I feel like I'm dominated.

Jake

Oh.

Pat

He yells as a free action. Come to your master.

Jake

It hurts and I love it.

Jake

It's come to not come for which I you know it

Pat table talk

come with into on top of whatever you like vampires are into that shit

Jake table talk

Oof, I'm a downward dog kind of sonbitch.

Pat table talk

Yeah, we could all tell them.

Jake

This is if it's anything this ass knows, it's justice.

Pat table talk

laughs

Jake table talk

I mean, I don't know. I don't know if I'm conscious. I mean, I've been to the Whale, right?

Pat

Yeah, you're dominated.

Pat

dominate. Let me give you a little hint on how this works.

Pat

You can control the actions of any humanoid creature through a telepathic link. If you have a common language, you can force the subject to perform as you desire. Communicating words like, come here, go there, fight, stand still. You know what they're experiencing, you do not receive direct sensory input. Once you've given a dominated creature a command, it will carry out and attempt that command to the exclusion of all other activities except those necessary for survival, such as sleeping, eating and so forth. Because of this limited range of activity, a sense mode of check can determine the subject's behavior as being influenced by an enchantment effect. subjects resist this control and any subject forced to take actions against its nature receives a new saving throw with a plus two bonus obviously self-destructive orders are not carried out once control is established the range at which this can be exercised is unlimited you need not see the subject to control it when he commands you come towards him That it's not killing yourself, but it is taking actions against your nature, so you receive an additional saving throw with a plus-two bonus.

Rich

because he doesn't like getting told what to do.

Jake table talk

That was a little bit.

Rich

I always hated it.

Pat

You break enchantment.

Jake

And that's my turn.

Rich

Don't you fucking tell me what to do. Wait, don't you get more actions than that?

Jake

No, I don't think I do, but I give him a... Whoa! I give him...

Rich

You didn't take... think you took any actions really

Jake

And broken shaman.

Rich

Yeah, but that's just a will save. I don't think that's actually like an action.

Nutty

Yeah, you don't actually, I think you just do that, right?

Pat

You were attempting to walk towards him and then you broke it. So let's see here.

Jake table talk

That's your call there, Cap.

Nutty

Yeah, if you're on fire, you get a save or something like that every turn, but that doesn't count as your actions.

Pat

No, you still have an action.

Jake

Do I have a move?

Pat

You have a full turn.

Jake

Then here we go.

Rich

And we're off.

Jake

Bing. I light up the fucking fist.

Rich

No.

Jake

And I immediately, I do a double bob and weave. Shoo. I tuck my elbows into my shoulders. And I duck my...

Pat

That's a raging fire you're on top of.

Jake

Yeah. Yeah. And I jump over that.

Rich

Okay.

Pat

reflexive or acrobatics to get high enough

Pat

Reflex save.

Rich

I'll be damned.

Pat

You take fire damage while you do it. What do you do?

Jake

I fucking leg my fists up and I fucking suck and I punch this bitch. Flues and blows.

Pat

You see when you're reflex save for half damage, you take 11 damage while going through the flames, and then you deflure your blows on him.

Pat

How much damage? And what's the AC? Attack roll.

Jake

15 fail. I'm assuming 28 and then 30. So six blunt or 16 blunt on the crit. 60, 20, 22, but.

Pat

So if 15 is accurate,

Jake

22 blunt damage.

Pat

Is 15 to hit accurate on the top?

Jake

Right.

Pat

Miss hit.

Jake

And so 22 damage blunt.

Pat

You can't crit on undead.

Jake

Two runs. Are you fucking shitting me? Yep.

Pat

So 12 damage.

Jake

12, not 22?

Pat

You can't crit undead.

Jake

And then minus 11 on my house. Perfect.

Pat

He takes 12 damage.

Jake

I wish for two of them a nice trick motherfucker and then turn.

Pat

It is his turn. On his turn, the burns get removed from his face, and the mark that you hit and left him starts fading away as it looks as he's regaining health on his turn.

Pat

And then he goes invisible.

Nutty

Wh-what?

Ozan

Where's the doors? The door's over here.

Jake

Is he casting a spell?

Jake

I think that I...

Pat

You do?

Jake

Then that's my punch.

Ozan

Yes, slap her.

Pat

Miss.

Pat table talk

It says panch. It says panch.

Jake table talk

I will save that.

Jake table talk

That's my pants, dude. That's my pants. I will save that. Yeah. Fair point. Thank you.

Nutty table talk

Paypoint.

Pat table talk

Todd.

Rich

I think that motherfucker also needs to roll to have concentration. If he took a crit...

Nutty table talk

I was going to say that. It wasn't my role.

Pat table talk

You can't quit on dead.

Rich table talk

Oh, God damn it.

Nutty

Shit, that's right.

Jake

There's fucking stars in the face!

Rich

Does hitting him in the middle of a spell, if he gets hit while casting the spell, doesn't he need to still roll a concentration?

Pat

He didn't get hit.

Rich table talk

podcasting.

Ozan

You didn't get hit by 32?

Pat

The 13 does not, a 13 doesn't hit.

Rich

Oh, the 32, he point where he rolled it.

Ozan

Wait, what about the fake point? That's already true.

Jake

FA pointed that

Pat

Oh, you fate-pointed it. I didn't catch that. So you do hit... And he does get hit while casting a spell and he does need a concentration check or fail his spell. Let's see here.

Rich table talk

Batch.

Pat

I have to read how that works for him.

Pat

If you take damage, while carrying to cast a spell, you're in concentration check with a DC equal to 10 plus the damage taken plus the level of spell you're casting. Okay, what was the damage taken? No crit?

Jake

no crit, that'd be seven.

Pat

So 17 plus the level he's trying to cast. Got it. So this plus his concentration check. This plus his concentration modifier, which is a two. Plus his concentration...

Pat

He fails.

Nutty

Oh, shit.

Pat

You interrupt his spell.

Jake

That's right.

Pat

Todd, what are you doing?

Nutty

Whatever daddy wants.

Pat

Mm-mm.

Nutty

I guess I'll roll a will save just to make sure daddy knows I'm willing.

Pat

No. You're dominated from the last will save. You only roll another one when you do something outside of your nature. He commands you to walk towards him and attack Woo.

Ozan table talk

You would never do that to a room.

Pat

Romeo will save plus two.

Jake

That's outside your nature.

Pat

Yeah, it's outside your nature. You get a plus-two.

Nutty

Hey!

Pat

iOSC2 will saves.

Nutty

Well, I rolled one for the walk-in part because I thought I had to. And then I rolled a one for Attack and Woo.

Jake

Here's the first one.

Pat

No, it's just one.

Nutty

I rolled the one before you said roll will save for attacking Woo.

Jake table talk

We all know. Don't you just sneak in a wheel saving here, Nutty? Don't you just sneak in a...

Pat

1, 2, 3, it's the first one. 4, 5, 6, it's the second one.

Pat

You fail. You attack Willow.

Jake

This one's back. Come on, don't roll ones in this house, dude. What are you doing, dude?

Nutty

I'm fine killing my friends.

Ozan

He didn't roll it for that action.

Pat table talk

Some whores in this house, Jake.

Pat

You don't get eight well-saves per turn. All right, attack Wu.

Jake

Darn it.

Pat

Critical.

Pat

What's clang?

Jake

Hold on. Hold the fuck on.

Nutty table talk

because this is...

Ozan

He should have had it. He should have had it.

Nutty

I think it's just my single melee attack.

Jake

Neddy, did you fucking crit me, bitch?

Ozan

You're not.

Nutty

You're not undead, man.

Ozan

You got 30 hit points.

Ozan

on to the 8th.

Jake

And Eddie, you just leveled up. We'll save that. Or, yeah. Fucking pay point that.

Nutty

But, I mean, you could survive that, right?

Jake

You want to do that right now.

Nutty

All right. I'll use my fate point.

Ozan table talk

This is because of you, Jake. What would you be doing?

Jake table talk

No, it ain't. No, it ain't. This is because of Donnie. This is because of

Ozan table talk

What were you doing supporting Pat in that decision?

Nutty table talk

It's Thrawn's fault. All right, guys, let's not point the fingers at each other right now. All right, I'll reclaim.

Jake table talk

God damn it, Nutty.

Nutty

How the fuck...

Nutty table talk

Oh, did that happen?

Jake table talk

I don't know, dude. Good shot. Good rolls, Teddy. I'll take that. That's easier and better.

Nutty

Two less damage.

Jake

What is happening?

Rich table talk

What just happened?

Nutty

2-2-3-2020.

Jake

Now they hit me for fucking 28.

Rich table talk

What the fuck? My audio goes out for like a minute and the party just kills itself.

Nutty

They got any pain points?

Nutty

Do you got any faith points, Jake?

Jake

That was, I used it. But that's good. I'm still alive.

Pat

You just use it.

Pat

All right, Jess, what are you doing?

Rich

Why did you invite us?

Jess

in service to my master.

Pat

He commands that you walk. around and attack Wu.

Jess

I mean, is that in my neutral nature?

Pat

Nope, you get a plus two bonus on your will save to resist.

Jess

Will 6.

Jess

Plus two is 13.

Pat

Failure.

Jess

Failure. All right. All right, Woo.

Pat

How do you go to him?

Jess table talk

I'm sorry.

Jess table talk

Sorry, say again?

Pat

How do you get to him?

Jess

get to who I am here. I suppose jeez I guess I would have to walk through

Pat

You provoke two attacks of opportunity.

Jess table talk

I'm not sure why I can't move my character.

Jake

For me?

Pat

From Jacques and from Xarthax.

Jake

Hitter, hit her, hit her.

Ozan

Yeah, I'll take the... opportunity.

Jess

here for your guys' attacks of opportunities.

Ozan

Use my attack of opportunity to a gut punch to get another will save roll.

Pat

It's while she's walking through, but yeah. So hit me with an attack of opportunity against her, both of you guys, if you want to take it. It's up to you.

Ozan

I'll take the attack opportunity for like non-lethal.

Pat

Just a single melee attack.

Ozan

Thanks, I'm

Pat

I believe that's a hit. A stab.

Ozan

Non-lethal.

Pat

How do you non-lethal with the rapier?

Ozan

Hit him on the side.

Rich table talk

The help. The help.

Pat

Does that do damage when you do non-lethal? Does that do half damage when you do that? What does that do?

Ozan

Fuck it, yeah, I still have a good name.

Jess

Jesus.

Ozan

I also say, snap out of it. Yeah.

Jess

Does that give me a will safe?

Pat

Trying to figure out how much damage it does, if you can do non-lethal.

Jess

Jesus Christ, these will saves are telling me.

Ozan

No, I gave up on the non-lethal. I gave up on the non-lethal. Yeah, just dab.

Pat

Oh, you just stab her for nine? Boom. Alright, when you get stabbed for 9 damage, Jess, you get another will save.

Ozan

She failed, unfortunately.

Jess

Yeah, I did it and I rolled six.

Pat

And then, Rich, you hit...

Rich

I'm literally going for the lightest of shin kicks on the knee. Right.

Pat

We're on a D4.

Pat

Do you have a proficiency with hand to hand?

Rich

I think so.

Pat

Do you take a negative 4 attack bonus by doing this, or do you attack with your full base attack bonus?

Rich

I don't believe... I believe I'm just attacking with my full base attack bonus. I went to the... I think I have it. I can go look.

Pat

Three damage to the shin, Jess, when we will save.

Nutty

Did a quick Google and it says you can do non-lethal with any lethal weapon, but you take a minus four to hit.

Pat

Sounds like these guys are going lethal.

Rich

I kicked her up in the shin. Shit's...

Jake

Damn, it's a drop. It's a drop. Sounds like these guys are going to leave.

Pat

You've taken 12 damage there, Jess.

Jake table talk

Nice.

Jess

How much damage? Sorry.

Pat

12. You have not snapped out of it. 12 total. You haven't snapped out of it. You make it through the crowd.

Jess

You mean total, right?

Pat

You can now attack Wu.

Jake

But you don't want to.

Pat

You hella want to.

Jake

Now, keep that in mind. No.

Jess

I mean, yeah. Here I go. I'm gonna attack Wu from... Right here.

Pat

You're flanking him. I don't know if that changes your ninja stuff.

Jess

Yeah, it does.

Nutty table talk

Ha. You know damn well flanking Ninja's favorite thing.

Pat table talk

Did know that.

Jake table talk

God damn well.

Pat

Goddamn well that triggers sneak attack damage.

Jess

I mean, but like...

Jess table talk

I mean, but I don't think my character, like if I'm not metagaming, would give a shit is the thing.

Jess table talk

I give a shit.

Nutty

You're pretty much sneaking damaging him. Strahd wants you to hit it real fucking hard. You hit it real fucking hard.

Jake

Hit him real fucking hard.

Pat

Mentally speaking,

Jess table talk

True story. All right.

Jess

He could surrender...

Pat

You attempt to carry out that command to the exclusion of all other activities except those necessary for survival, like breathing. Like, you attempt to carry this command out.

Jess

This is not including sneak attack damage. You survived this, Jay.

Jake

If I had to move where I roundhouse to everybody around me, I would. I'd kick all you guys in the chair.

Pat

Six damage there, Woo.

Jake

What was the role to hit?

Ozan

Every time it hits.

Jess

I haven't done any of my sneak attack damage on that.

Pat

25.

Jake

Fucking Jess, god damn, dude. Yeah, that hits me.

Jess table talk

I'm sorry.

Jake table talk

No, you're not.

Jess table talk

Hang on.

Jake

I'm down.

Jess

Roll.

Nutty

She's not done with damage.

Jess

3d6

Pat

He's not done.

Ozan table talk

Thanks.

Jake

You want to reroll that?

Nutty

Any of those?

Pat

21 damage.

Jake

Yeah. Yeah, I'm down.

Jess table talk

I'm really sorry. I'm sorry. Shit.

Rich

Is that down or dead?

Jake

15.

Rich

21

Nutty

15 plus 6, yeah.

Jake

That's lethal.

Jess

I don't have fate points.

Nutty

Yeah, how did we use all those before?

Jake

You sure?

Jess

And when I leveled up, I rolled a one and then used it instantly.

Jake

I'm pretty sure we got one last session.

Jess

Yeah, but I spent it when I rolled a one on my HP, and then I rolled a one again after using it.

Nutty

Yeah, she used to.

Jake

Well, then I am dead.

Jess

I'm really sorry. Can you roll a fate point on death? Oh my god.

Nutty table talk

Ha.

Jess

Why can't I roll this good against fucking all my will saves? Jesus fucking Christ.

Jake

Yeah, let me through one more time.

Pat

yeah he's hella strong fucking stink attack flank 21 damage bam

Jake table talk

Calm down.

Jake

I'm at four hit points.

Jake

So that means

Pat

Negative four?

Jake

No, four.

Jess

Dead, you scared the shit out of me. You have 4 HP.

Nutty

No, four of hit. Minus 21.

Jake

Yeah, 4 minus 21 is dead.

Jess

Oh, you had four.

Jake

Yeah, bye-bye.

Pat

4 minus 21. It puts you at...

Jake

Negative 17.

Pat

What's your constitution?

Rich

Make him a vampire.

Jake

Sexy.

Jake

Oh, no, I'm just dead.

Rich

Can you undead this dad?

Jake

Constitution is 14.

Pat

Yeah, once if your point is negative but not equal to the clearly we're dying Jake is dead

Jess

I've never killed a party member before.

Jake

If anybody has any points, now's the time or else I'm down. And then good luck with the vampire.

Ozan

Lots of kind of events.

Ozan

What do we fight for, I think?

Rich

Can we use each other's fate points? Because I do have one, but I wasn't involved in the fight at all.

Jake

Yeah, we do. Yeah, we can.

Nutty

I'm all out.

Pat

You can.

Rich

I can? Okay. I didn't realize that was an option.

Jess

I didn't realize that was up.

Ozan

and we fake point that he's first wheel station

Rich

but it was just for the people involved.

Jake

No, just pay point. Jess is, I think Jess's role.

Rich

I don't know.

Rich

Yeah, Jess, redo that roll. Box.

Jake

Damn, her attack will...

Pat

Her damage roll or her to hit roll?

Jake

Her attack roll is a 14, so anything less than a 14, I can pass it.

Rich

Fuck it.

Pat

You wanted to reroll your attack roll or you wanted to reroll the damage for a sneak attack?

Rich

So what do you want me to re-enroll it?

Jake

No, that damage, her damage was only. So...

Rich

Your damage will kill you almost no matter what.

Jake table talk

contact

Rich

46 near a four life you almost can't survive just reroll the attack I think

Pat

What's your armor class, Jake?

Jake

24.

Pat

Okay, so you need to roll a 13 or less.

Pat

Irish, scratch off that fate point.

Rich

All right, Jess.

Rich

I parked it down in the first place. I assumed that shit was going quick.

Jake

Hell yeah. Yeah. I use my fate point to punch a vampire. Dummy me.

Rich table talk

Middle of a dungeon level up? Of course that's going right away.

Nutty table talk

Ha.

Jake table talk

That's what I'm talking about.

Pat

Miss. Take care of four.

Rich

I think we should talk this out, guys.

Nutty

Diplomacy? Can we start diplomacy?

Rich

Can we start diplomacy at this late hour?

Jake

The policies failed

Nutty

I think Strahd has a lot to say.

Jess

Oh my god. You guys, I felt so bad. I've never felt worse. I'm so glad. Thank you for using that hate point.

Rich

We were invited here rather kindly.

Jake

Dude, Jess, I love the fact that you fucking slit that knife right into my kidney.

Jess

Like, damn. Yeah, no cold-blooded as fuck.

Jake

You're like, guard me, motherfucker.

Pat

you like that bitch?

Nutty

I would never do a sneak attack damage. Put that sneak attack damage in there. You get it in there.

Jake

It hurt. It hurt. It hurt.

Jess

Like, yeah, man. Damn.

Nutty

Six damage? Yeah, I can do six damage. No. That's not enough.

Jess

That sneak attack, man, need to roll better, not against you.

Rich

Well, now we can resume the fight that we were losing.

Pat

Ozon. Your turn.

Jake

Oh no.

Rich

Well, again, I'm saying we could go for diplomacy and cave right here. What did we get invited for? We never had a chat.

Nutty

I technically switched teams, so I think I'm winning now. Pat, is that correct?

Pat

Yeah, you're winning.

Nutty

Yes.

Ozan

Can I go? Jake is right after me, right? Is he? Or is it Strahd?

Rich

to heal that man

Jake

Lestrade went before me. So Lestrade's turn already went, and I fucking fucked his action up. So...

Ozan

but now it's my turn again. I'm just wondering if... Who's after me, Pat?

Jake

I'm just letting you know right now, guys, I'm going to go for a grab.

Pat

Oh, Rich is after you as I'm.

Ozan

If I can get Jake to drink a potion, he might be able to get out of this. But I don't know if I can actually... Get there.

Nutty

I think drinking a potion provokes tagmop chunis also, though.

Ozan

Yeah, so ideally he makes his way to me. Is there a way for you to bring him to me, Rich?

Rich

with not really but I can

Nutty

with me and Jess not whacking on them.

Rich

I can do what I can for him. I'm about to cast a spell for him.

Nutty

Fireball. Fireball, Rich.

Ozan

What are you going to cast? Firewall.

Jake

No.

Nutty table talk

laughter

Ozan

That's all I got. That's all I can do. Wait, what do you have?

Rich

Mirror image is first on my list. invisibility, but that would... It's not greater invisibility, so it won't stick around. Thinking mirror image is going to be the way to go.

Rich

Get him that potion.

Ozan

I'm going to,

Ozan

I think I'll be able to do that.

Rich

I can get him a potion instead, but I think the mirror image might be a better save.

Nutty

Most likely.

Ozan

The potion is pretty good. The potion is bark skin plus five.

Nutty

I think you can use your action to give him the potion.

Ozan

To give Jake the potion or to give...

Nutty

Like you can actually feed Jake the potion with your action.

Nutty

I don't see why you couldn't.

Nutty

but that also might provoke a tech for opportunity.

Jake

Does...

Nutty

I imagine Ozone would take the hit.

Jake

But not if not if he's behind me.

Nutty

Ozan would get hit instead of you if he did that.

Jake

No, if Ozone's behind me and then he pours a potion in my mouth, we're still good. If he's next to Lestrade or within Lestrade's attack range, yeah.

Ozan

Where is...

Nutty

Go in the fire?

Ozan

What is this thing? Is this...

Nutty

It's a fire pit.

Jake

Yeah, it also hurts. So, yeah, I just kind of set myself on fire.

Nutty

You could just go here and give him the potion. Jess is pretty much sneak attack damage, so she wouldn't do sneak attack damage to you if you're right here.

Nutty

So you take what? Like...

Nutty

10 damage tops.

Ozan

All right, yeah. OK, so. I don't know if I'm going to be able to actually feed it to him, but I'm going to go behind here and then

Rich

Thank you, Ty. Let's pour it down his mouth.

Ozan

pour down an alchemical allocation down Jake's mouth. And then...

Ozan

Jake, in your turn, you have to take this potion that's in my hand and drink it.

Ozan

It was hard. I could just be Jake the potion. but that would burn the potion. The whole gimmick is I use alchemic allocation to make the potion free.

Nutty

Oh, yeah, so you don't Yeah. Well, I...

Ozan

but i'm wondering if at this time maybe i should give up to 3000 gold and just feed them the potion.

Nutty

Sometimes you just gotta look at Jake and ask if he's worth it or not. I don't know.

Ozan

Jake 3000.

Nutty

3000 golds.

Ozan

2000 gold. Damn. Hey, Jake, talking to the preaction, how much gold you got?

Jake

I have 20 gold pieces.

Nutty

Ha.

Jake

I'm not lying to you. You know what? If you want to keep that potion, go ahead. But if you don't slurp that Slurpee down my mouth right now, you're as all fucked.

Jake

So,

Ozan

Alright, no, this is actually better. I'm not going to give him outcome calculation. I'm going to give him LB.

Jake

Damn it. I should have said it differently. I'm sorry. I was like, no, feed me. Feed me.

Ozan

Jake, you get plus two to AC and the first five points of lethal damage is converted to non-lethal damage. You best get the R5.

Ozan

you also plus two to AC. And that's going to last, I'll check how long that lasts. That's what I do on my turn.

Jake

Damn, Doc, I'm about to disappear right now.

Pat

That's five points of DR5 per level.

Ozan

level.

Jake

Whoa.

Ozan

Oh, shit, it's for hours, Jake. It's for like six hours per level. Really?

Pat

Once the spell is converted, 5 points of damage nonlethal per cast, your level maximum 50 points, the spell is discharged.

Nutty

Goddamn.

Nutty

That's still pretty good. That's a lot.

Ozan

That's how much damage it'll take, yeah.

Ozan

yeah like that's hopefully that still helps

Ozan

You know, next round, we still have the bark skin in our pocket if we make it to next round.

Rich

Isn't that possible?

Pat

That turn?

Ozan

Yes sir.

Pat

Rich, what are you doing?

Rich

I am going to, go around to the other side And cast Mirror Image on Jake from this end.

Jake

Down.

Jake

Oh, you sexy bitch.

Rich

1d4 plus 2 since it leveled up.

Rich

You have six clones.

Jake

It's over.

Nutty

but,

Nutty

Provoking an attack of RPG from Strahd though.

Rich

fucking fine. My boy has six clones now. I'm happy.

Jake

Yeah, I'm an hour of trouble with this bitch.

Pat

Assuming that you succeed if he hits you.

Nutty

Yeah, we did it to stride. It's totally fair.

Pat

All right.

Pat

Okay.

Pat

This plus nine.

Nutty

Oh my god.

Pat

That's it.

Nutty

Rituan did?

Nutty

wait you're a robot right can you crits affect robots

Jake

Yeah.

Jake

I think they do.

Rich

I think they do. I do count as instructed, but I think I'm still subject to crits.

Pat

This plus...

Pat

Wait, I'm sorry not 46 1d6 plus 4 plus This plus 4 so 5 plus

Nutty

5 is doable.

Pat

3d6 necrotic damage.

Pat

plus this

Pat

5 plus 6 is 11. the 11 damage that you take from that,

Rich

I don't actually have flesh, so I don't know how necrotic damage would work on me.

Pat

Okay, got it. It does not... The necrotic damage does this weird fucking flesh thing to you. So you just take bludgeoning creep damage then. So it's 1d8 plus 4. So never mind. No necrotic. None of that.

Rich table talk

Another perk of being an android comes in again.

Nutty table talk

Android bitch.

Pat

So you just take five damage. It's really good though, because that's some necrotic ass level shit that happens if you have skin.

Rich table talk

I know. I fucking know.

Pat

You just take 7-8. Roll me a concentration check.

Nutty

Undead played dirty, man.

Rich

concentration.

Pat

So it's success. You get it off.

Nutty

There we go.

Rich

Yes. Get him, Jake.

Pat table talk

Will you check the camera?

Rich

Mark that down.

Nutty

And was that a stabbing he did on Rich or like it was like a bite or something?

Pat

Just a bludgeoning hit.

Nutty

Okay. Yeah, what'd it come from? The hand?

Rich

five damage.

Rich

Why did you invite us if you were just going to be mean?

Jake

No.

Pat

And then he laughs and laughs and laughs. And it is his turn. Oh, it's JB's turn.

Rich

That is weird. That is fancy for you.

Nutty

Why do all of his rooms echo his laughter? It's not fair.

Jake table talk

Yeah, dude, that's fucked up. All of his rooms echo his own laughter. That's actually pretty cool, but also fuck that, dude.

Pat

How many copies are there of you, Jake?

Jake

Six.

Jake

I laugh as a free action. Ha.

Pat

Six total?

Pat

So five copies, one original.

Rich

Six copies. Seven.

Jake

Six copies of one original. Seven.

Nutty table talk

That's a Wukong shit right there.

Pat

It's your turn, Jake.

Jake

I empower my fists with fire.

Rich

With holy...

Rich

Hit that motherfucker with the hand of God.

Jake

First one.

Jake

26 22 26

Pat

Hit.

Jake

And then this is my D6 for continuous rounds. He takes damage equal to fire damage.

Pat

A little damage.

Jake

He takes 4 damage every turn equal to half my level. I am 6, so 3.

Jake

Takes four damage, three rounds.

Pat

Plus all of the flurry of blows.

Jake

Plus 6, 10, and 8 if they pass.

Pat

They all pass. What's the total?

Jake

16. 22, 26.

Jake

And then, Yeah, we're next to each other, right? So I really don't want to move anywhere. I just want to make sure he doesn't.

Jake

Turn.

Pat

Alright, it's his turn. Most of those wounds look like he's recovering some hit points.

Pat

Not all, but most. He laughs and then casts a spell, provoking an attack of opportunity. You may take a strike if you wish.

Jake

Can I do a combat maneuver or can I just attack?

Pat

It's one single attack if you choose to take it.

Nutty

Would it be against my nature to not attack Strahd with the attack of opportunity? I'm not next to him. I'm just wondering in general.

Pat

It's in your nature to attack Strahd, but you're dominated right now.

Nutty

So it's not my nature to text rod.

Pat

He's not commanding you to do something outside of your nature.

Nutty

But also I don't wanna hurt Shradh, right?

Pat

He's your friend.

Nutty

What would I think about that, Sherrod?

Pat

Miss Wu. Hit Rich.

Rich

I want to punch that motherfucker in the mouth. He's got to say words for it. I want to fuck him up. Fuck your spell.

Jake table talk

Be nice.

Jake table talk

Right.

Pat

Roll damage.

Nutty table talk

Gloveslap.

Jake table talk

Damn, mage up in there doing work, dude.

Rich

Punch him in the mouth for one damage. I hope you bite your tongue, you bitch.

Nutty table talk

Ha.

Pat

He takes the damage.

Pat

He does not interrupt his spell.

Nutty table talk

That's some Thanos shit. All that for just a drop of blood.

Rich table talk

I'm really fucking trying, dude. It does feel like this is futile, though. Oh, God damn it.

Pat

And then they all start crawling on the walls.

Rich table talk

Ha.

Rich

Shadow clone time.

Pat

Let's turn...

Rich

As I understand it, the shadow clones stay roughly within your tile range. As to... Oh. Oh. Okay.

Pat

He's not shadow cloning.

Pat

Todd, what are you doing?

Jake

Whatever you want, baby.

Nutty

You tell me.

Jake table talk

Ha.

Pat

Yeah.

Pat

he yells to you to jump into the fire. Oh yeah. You're not going to do that.

Nutty

Well, I mean, I said it was all you, so if you really want me to.

Pat

He wants you to attack your closest friend.

Rich table talk

This just became a party rift situation. What if everyone thought they were best friends with him and now they have to choose?

Nutty

Like closest friend is in proximity or closest friend is in

Pat

Open to interpretation.

Rich

How are you?

Nutty

Well, I mean, I'll just throw it up to a day since I just met these people.

Nutty

Uh,

Ozan table talk

We'll say first, though.

Nutty table talk

Legendary Todd.

Pat

Let's do. Failure.

Nutty

That doesn't make those. So I guess 1, 2, 3, Jess, 4, 5, 6, Jake.

Pat

He doesn't give a fuck about you, Tuttle's.

Ozan

Wait, Pat, if he succeeds the will save, does he snap out of it?

Nutty

He's not near me.

Nutty

Wait, do you want me to move to attack them?

Pat

If he succeeds, the will save. He snaps out of it.

Ozan

I use my fate point to let him reroll.

Nutty

I only got a plus 4 for a 20.

Pat

There goes the last bait point of the group.

Ozan table talk

Yeah, roll high, dude.

Rich

He's spending everything on this, apparently.

Ozan

Worth a shot.

Jake

18 is not 20. Damn.

Nutty

I attack Jake. I guess that's better. So I have to roll to mirror image or something?

Pat

Yeah, which one do you attack?

Nutty

Yeah, how do I figure that out?

Pat

I guess there's two of them close to you. Just one, two, three, four, five, six.

Ozan

in the description it says if you hit you roll dice to see which one is hit and

Rich

Yeah, they're all theoretically in the same tile space.

Nutty

Since I haven't moved, I have to full attack, right?

Jake table talk

That's a lot.

Nutty

twice. It's just the top one.

Ozan

Does it hit?

Jake

First one. None of those hit my AC. I don't know which one he hits, though.

Jake

So he has to roll a dice to see which one he hits. Right?

Nutty

I mean, if they don't,

Nutty

If they don't hit you, they don't hit your image either.

Ozan

They don't have.

Jake

All right. Then no.

Pat

Miss.

Pat

Yes, what are you doing?

Rich

All right.

Jess

I'm still in his thrall because no one like cunt punched me or anything.

Pat

Yeah, he wants you to attack your closest friend.

Rich

You also get another reroll because of that, unless it's in your nature to attack your closest friends. Uh-huh.

Jess

You also have a lot of

Jess

Sure.

Jake

Well, they will.

Jess table talk

No comment.

Jake table talk

Good God.

Jess table talk

Fucking A, I know.

Rich table talk

Fucking A, I know. I'm so disappointed in you. I can apparently only roll well when I need to kill a friend.

Jess table talk

I can apparently only roll well when I need to kill a friend.

Pat table talk

Me too.

Jake table talk

Hey, Jesse, I tried to kill me earlier, and you fucking rocked that.

Jess table talk

All right. You can pause.

Ozan

I'm right next to you. I'm literally on you.

Jess

One, two, three is going to be... Yeah, you're right next to me. So is Todd.

Nutty

Would I count as the friend to attack?

Jess

Oh yeah, because you're also enthralled. So I guess it would just be...

Nutty

I'm in trouble, but I'm still a friend.

Ozan

And I mean,

Jake table talk

What's up?

Nutty

We're friends, aren't we?

Ozan

I'm physically so close to you right now. Definitely choose me.

Jake

Yeah, and if y'all moved anywhere near my clones, I get an attack of opportunity. Yeah.

Jake

You want to come into this space or leave this space. You're getting the check to the nose.

Jake

It's non-lathal though.

Jess

My attack is non-lethal? Is that what you're saying?

Jake

No, I'm saying if anybody enters my space.

Nutty

No, Lou.

Jess

Coming for Ozon.

Nutty

We're already in your space.

Jake

Goddammit.

Ozan

Yes.

Jess

20 misses.

Jess table talk

Fuck yeah, hell yeah.

Ozan

23 to hit.

Jake table talk

Good job, guys.

Nutty table talk

We brought our AC with another wolf saves.

Jake table talk

For real. For real. We brought our AC and not our wheel saves. We're all doing great.

Nutty

You can't make us kill each other.

Jake

Right, your first blade sharpening is on me. It's on the house.

Pat

So that's a mist.

Nutty table talk

He's just sitting there like watches constantly miss each other for like 10 minutes. Like Jesus Christ.

Jess

And that ends my turn.

Jake

He's like, fucking what?

Pat

Was that your turn?

Jess

Yep, turn.

Pat

I was on.

Ozan

yep all right well now i feed jake alchemical allocation and then feed him the barks n plus five

Ozan

And Jake, you get 5 AC baby for, I don't know, how many minutes?

Jake

I think it's half your level. That bumps me up to 29. Yeah, 29 AC.

Ozan

10 minutes to level. 50 minutes, an hour.

Ozan

All right, baby, go swing them fists.

Ozan table talk

Best turn.

Pat table talk

All right.

Pat

Rich, what are you doing?

Pat

Rich?

Rich

I'm going to try and cast blind on this asshole.

Pat

All right.

Jake

Oh,

Rich

Saving throw negates.

Rich table talk

No!

Rich table talk

pressed back.

Rich table talk

Everything's reloading.

Rich

let you know what the save requirement is in a moment.

Rich

It is an 18 DC.

Pat table talk

All right.

Pat

Because blindness, deafness spell targets one living creature, it fizzles.

Rich table talk

Well then...

Pat table talk

Maybe.

Rich table talk

Like that is a botch. I'm going to, sorry, trying to see where I'm at. My screen reset.

Jake table talk

And that's going to be the old,

Rich

I think that's it. I'm going to quick draw a potion and hold it out in case Jake wants to drink it.

Pat

All right.

Rich

Take it out of my hands next turn, and then it's next turn.

Jake

I gotta do the full round action. I'm going for a shin stomp, neck chop, body right hook.

Jake

25 so that's looking for

Jake

15.

Pat

25 hit, 9 miss, 25 hit. Roll me 1d, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, d5 to see which one you hit.

Jake

Did he mirror image as well?

Rich

Yes, he did.

Pat

He did an ability like mirror image.

Nutty

Yeah, there's like five of them.

Nutty

Jake can only attack two of them. Does that matter?

Jake

So it's going to be...

Pat

No, it doesn't matter. Just attack one of them and roll me 1d5.

Nutty table talk

Interesting.

Jake

So R or backslash R.

Jake

1d5?

Pat

It hits one of his clones, one of his mirrors.

Jake

And then I move, are his mirrors placed around the room right now?

Nutty

Wait, we're just...

Pat

He's spider climbing right now. And you see his spiders are like shifting around.

Pat

It's not shadow clone. It's mirror image.

Jake

All right. All right. Then I move...

Jake

Here.

Jake

So if any of them do move, I do get an attack of opportunity on these two, I guess.

Jake

Under my images, I don't know if they get dissipated.

Pat

No, you still have your images as well.

Nutty

Any five foot step, right?

Jake

No, that was my move.

Nutty

You only took like a 5-foot Cephthah, right?

Jake

technically

Nutty

from there to there so you don't provoke tagline opportunity.

Jake

Right.

Jake

I want to trip this motherfucker so bad. I want to grab him so bad.

Nutty

It's on the walls now. It's going to be a little difficult.

Jake

Oh, fuck.

Pat

Stroud's turn. He goes up to the 30 feet up to the top of the room spider climb.

Rich

Oh, shit, he's going to cast Fireball.

Pat

And then...

Nutty table talk

Is that a mage move?

Jake

Does he leave? Does he leave? Does he leave by threat range?

Pat

He does. Want me to talk about Trinity?

Jake table talk

This motherfucker.

Pat

Miss. And then he drops a fireball on you guys.

Nutty

Shit.

Rich table talk

Played this game before.

Rich

Reflex for half.

Jess

Reflex?

Nutty

That's my second best save.

Pat

29. Oh, 18.

Jess table talk

I can dodge traps, not mind traps.

Pat

Ozon takes nine.

Pat

Jake takes nine.

Nutty

I got a 20 reflex.

Pat

Death takes nine. Nutty takes nine. Rich takes... Everyone makes their save.

Nutty

I don't think anyone did.

Jake

Okay, then I'm down.

Nutty

It gave you a bunch of AC.

Jake table talk

That's cool.

Pat

Todd.

Jake

I'm at negative five.

Pat

We was down.

Rich

Does any of the damage reduction take?

Rich

that he's got going.

Pat

Yeah, all of his wounds looked like they heal.

Rich

No, I was talking about Jake. He has damage reduction 5 right now.

Nutty

Oh, that's true.

Pat

So you took four damage, Jake. Are you still unconscious?

Jake

I am on time.

Jake

At zero.

Pat

Todd, what are you doing? You still dominated?

Nutty

You know it.

Pat

He commands you to run south out of the room as far as you can.

Rich

Wouldn't Fireball wake him up then? Wouldn't the fireball trigger everyone getting another roll? Oh shit.

Nutty

Would it?

Pat

Read up on Dominate.

Pat

Okay.

Jake

Well, it's nice to see.

Pat

You control the actions of any humanoid creature. If you and the subject have a common language, you can force them. Once you give them a command, it continues to carry out the command to the inclusion of all their activities, except those necessary for data survival. Changing the order. By concentrating fully, you can receive full sensory input. Subjects resist this control, and any subject forced to take actions against their nature receive a new saving throw. Self-destructive orders are not carried out. Once control is established, the reign that can be exercised is limited. You need not see the subject control it. If you don't spend at least one round concentrating on the spell each day, they receive a new saving throw to throw off the nomination. It lasts one day a level.

Nutty

So you want me to run?

Pat

Run out the room south as far as you can.

Nutty

All right, well, my speed is, it says 20, but it's actually 30. So. 5, 10, 15, 20. Bye, guys. 25. do I just keep going? 30.

Pat

You open the door.

Nutty

have to, right? Wait, if the door's closed, I can't full run and open a door at the same time.

Pat

So you get to the door, what do you do?

Nutty

You said to run as far as I can?

Pat

Yeah, as far as you can.

Nutty

So 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, that's my move. And I just opened the door, I guess.

Pat

All right. Doors open.

Nutty

With my action, that's me.

Pat

You see a red curtain.

Pat

It is beautiful, Natty.

Pat

Yes. What are you doing?

Rich

Still enthralled.

Pat

He wants you to run up as far and fast as you can through the center door.

Nutty

I did get a tag walked to you by Ozon though.

Pat

If he takes it,

Rich

Do I want you to do that?

Jess

Do I want to do that? It's not against my nature, but it's like my nature would be to stay in the fight

Ozan table talk

I like that you always leave the door open.

Ozan

Non-lethal, which doesn't hit anyways.

Nutty

I got high ACs. AC is 24, so it's kind of hard to hit.

Jake

Thanks.

Rich

running away.

Jess

Running away wouldn't be a thing I naturally do. I'd want to naturally stay and fight with my friends, I guess. Like, would I get a will save here? Or is this less, like, less questioning my personal moral ethics than other things?

Rich

Wouldn't be a naturally do Edwin and her.

Pat

Alright, once you give a dominated creature command, it continues to attempt the command to the exclusion of all activities except those necessary for its survival. Because of this limited range of activity, blah, let's see, by concentrating... Subject resists this control, and any subject forced to take actions against its nature receives a new saving throw with a plus two bonus. You receive a new saving throw with a plus two bonus.

Pat

You do as well, Nutty.

Jess

Oh, fuck yeah.

Nutty

That's fine with running away.

Pat

You break free, Jess.

Jess

I thought I'd never break free of this thrall. Oh my god.

Jake

Welcome to the fold in fucking hell.

Jess

Jesus Christ.

Pat

Let me catch you up.

Jess

Okay.

Jake

Fucking die.

Pat

What do you do for your turn?

Jess

This changes things. I'm going to... see here I got so used to not having like choices that I stopped thinking about my choices. I am going to... You know what? Fuck it. I'm just going to wail on this fuck. I'm pissed. I'm going to move.

Nutty

Do you have a health potion?

Jess

He's 30 feet in the air. Oh, fuck. And I do...

Pat

Yep, he's on the ceiling.

Nutty

You can save Jake.

Jess

I have, okay. I need to heal myself, too. I need to heal everyone. All the things. Can I heal Jake with a health potion while he's down? Do I just, like, force feed him?

Ozan

He's disabled. He's not like completely out.

Jake

I'm not, I'm at zero. I'm not completely out.

Pat

He's unconscious.

Jess

Okay, I'm going to give...

Pat

Oh yeah, I think Disabled, right? Yeah.

Jess

What's disabled?

Pat

He's not unconscious at zero. He's like fucked up and on the floor.

Jess

I give Jake.

Jake

You know, I would personally call that unconscious, but yeah. If I'm fucked up on the floor, Jesse, might as well call me unconscious, man.

Ozan

You can take a standard action. You can drink a potion.

Jess

Okay, we're going to give Jake and I potions of Cure Moderate Wounds. Which I'm looking up how many, unless someone knows offhand how much health that gives us.

Jake table talk

Roll that beautiful being footage.

Pat

I think it's 2d8 plus five, I'm not mistaken.

Jess

2d8 plus 5

Jess

Okay, so that's me.

Jess

And then I am going to

Jess

Locke stepping over Jake. Wait, never mind. He's 30 feet up in the air? You said?

Pat

Yeah, he's a spider climbed on the ceiling. There's four of them up there. Kind of occupying the same space.

Jess

30 feet up okay I in that case am going to levitate I guess

Jess table talk

I already gave Jake. I said for both of us. Yeah, everybody else caught that, right? Jake, you have a cure moderate potions.

Jake

Yeah. But did you give one to me or are you feeding one to me? Okay.

Jess

Yeah, I gave one to you. I'm pouring it down your throat if that's a necessary thing. If looking at you, I'm like, he needs help drinking this. I helped you drink it.

Pat

And that is your action.

Jess

Okay, deal.

Pat

Ozon. Oh, roll it.

Jake

2 to 8.

Jess

2d8 plus 5.

Ozan

All right, on my turn, I'm gonna go up to Jake as well and feed him also.

Ozan

What's that? 288 plus 5.

Jake

Jesus Christ. Wow.

Jake

28 just like that.

Pat

Rich, what are you doing? These guys are slamming potions down Jake's throat.

Rich

I'm casting fly on Jake.

Jake

You fill me up, daddies.

Rich

I don't know.

Pat

Jake, you can now fly. You have 28 hit points. It's your turn.

Rich

Good.

Jake

I want to fucking jump up. I want to jump up and tie sick kick, dude. I want to fucking Ryu kick this motherfucker. Hurricane kick.

Rich

Seriously, fuck this guy. Putting all our money on Jake.

Pat

Hit, non-critical, hit.

Pat

30 damage.

Rich

Get out of there.

Jake

Plus four.

Rich

I'm also really liking how good

Pat

34 damage.

Nutty

Oh, was he supposed to be taking fire damage, Jake?

Pat

He is.

Pat

That whole scene, he was laughing, and then he gasps when you came back to life, flew up, had him, and Flory kicked. He turns into mist, and

Jake

I bet you he fucking does.

Nutty

Take a look at the opportunity.

Pat

Does Mistform provoke an attack of opportunity?

Jake

That's your...

Nutty

I'm assuming it's a spell.

Rich

I don't think so. I think it's supernatural.

Pat

It's not.

Nutty

Yeah, there's definitely different rules for Supernatural.

Pat

Yeah, it's a supernatural ability. He turns to miss...

Rich

Yeah, I think... Move.

Jake

And damn well.

Pat

Everyone has an action. He's missed right there up in the top. on the ceiling.

Nutty

I mean, I'm still dominated. What's the range on this thing?

Pat

That's true. Todd, you're dominated. You're still last command is to run.

Rich

I'm

Nutty

What's daddy want?

Pat

Betty wants you to keep running.

Nutty

It can run good.

Pat

You see a curtain, do you push through it?

Nutty

and go right here. Oh, is that a curtain? I'm going the farthest, right? Was that my claim? Go run far.

Jake table talk

Damn, dude. Having Nuddy just haul balls out of the hallway is fucking funny as shit.

Nutty

I go through the curtain if I'm running.

Pat

You see two thrones and a fucking dip down into some fucking water with a bunch of wraiths.

Nutty

20, 25. 30, is this a single room? 35, 40?

Pat

Yeah, that's a ledge.

Nutty

Wait, is this just a simple room? 45? Todd's also blind because it's dark. 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100. Dude, Pat, what room is this? 100, 110, 150.

Pat

Tess, what are you doing? Todd's running.

Jake

Thank you, Todd.

Pat

Yes, what are you doing? Not confused.

Jess

Do I really go after Todd?

Nutty

Uh,

Pat

Todd, you get wrapped up in the curtain.

Nutty

Yeah, pretty much.

Jake table talk

LAUGHTER

Nutty

I pretty much ran across all the walls.

Jake table talk

But, dude, that character did so much.

Nutty table talk

It is beautiful. I might take this home later.

Pat

Guess what you doing?

Jess

You said he turned into a mist and he's still just like here in the...

Pat

He's floating on the top of the room.

Jess

Okay. I also realize that I can only cast Levitate once per day, so I cannot levitate to him. I can, like, throw stuff at him and shake my fist angrily and be, like, angry. I have a hand crossbow. I don't think that's gonna do shit against Mist.

Jake

And we'll want to create.

Jess

Will it?

Rich

Not really. Jake, are you still up there?

Nutty

But also on a 1, you shoot Jake.

Jake

Nettie, pull on!

Pat

The Mist is also first.

Jake

You always got to look at the downside of it. Son of a bitch.

Nutty

If you hit that 20.

Jess

would like to

Jess

whole.

Jess

Yeah.

Jake

And when he turned to miss on his turn, he took four damage.

Pat

He did, yes. He took 34 damage.

Jake

Yeah, when I kicked him, but on his turn, he took four.

Nutty

He gots a dot.

Pat

So he takes four damage on your turn and four damage on his turn.

Pat

From Fire.

Nutty

For four turns, five turns?

Pat

So he takes 8 damage every turn from fire.

Jess

going to spend a Kai point and use Shadow Clone, which creates 1d4 of myself. It kind of acts like magic mirror, or mirror image, I mean.

Pat

Alright? You turn it into multiple versions of yourself, Anything else on top of that?

Jess

No. No, that ends my turn.

Pat

Ozone, what are you doing?

Ozan

Yes, at this point.

Jess

There are three of me total, including myself.

Ozan

Um,

Ozan

Wait, oh shit, Nutty just booked it though, right? A while ago, was that two turns ago he booked it?

Jake

Then he fucking hot-tailed it, dude. As soon as trouble got lost.

Nutty

I went, opened the door, and then my second turn, I ran through said door.

Jake

Mm-hmm.

Nutty

Currently fighting a curtain.

Pat

Us out, dude.

Jake

Against his will, ironically.

Ozan

Oh yeah, actually, we're good here.

Pat

Not outside of Todd's nature.

Nutty

I would never run away.

Jake

No, he wanted to fight this time, but no. He just fucking does it.

Rich

You think I'm going to

Ozan

All right, can I run after him, Pat?

Pat

Yeah.

Rich

I won't leave.

Ozan

leave? I can't really do much here. I mean, what am I going to do? Honestly, is there anything I can do? I don't know. I used to spit on maybe. I don't know.

Rich

Don't leave us.

Ozan

I should have done that before.

Jake

Get this fucker.

Ozan

run after. Oh, there he is. Can I just go kick him?

Nutty

I was told to run away, and I didn't make it very far. I even failed at that.

Ozan

How far is that?

Jake

Go for slide tackle.

Ozan

I could totally run up to him and kick him.

Pat

You go up to him and try to snap him out of it?

Ozan

I kick him in the ass.

Pat

Kick him in the ass. He's trying to snap you out of it, Todd.

Ozan

We got thought.

Nutty

Normally, I'd welcome it, but...

Rich

Yes, finally.

Pat

Romeo will save time.

Jake table talk

Dude, running with two shields down the hallway is fucking hilarious.

Nutty

He has that to roll to hit. Clank.

Ozan table talk

Well, you got a big ass, Todd.

Pat

Roll the hit, Lozon.

Jake table talk

Donald's got a fat ass.

Ozan table talk

Oh, yeah. That's what I'm talking about.

Nutty

Oh my God.

Pat

Todd, you snap out of it.

Nutty

Ah, shit. Thanks. I still recollect what I saw while rolling through the room, right?

Ozan

Anytime, baby.

Pat

What are you doing?

Rich

Before I make any major decisions on that, I need two bits of information. One, Jake is in the air, right?

Rich

Jake is in the air, right?

Pat

Yeah, he's flying.

Nutty

flew up there.

Rich

And the mist is just dispersed around the whole ceiling area.

Pat

The mist is kind of in a five-foot area directly up above you guys.

Rich

Okay.

Rich

Can you point out where exactly, like, ping it for me up?

Pat

Sure.

Rich

think there's a way I can do that. So...

Rich

plan fell apart.

Jake

If you want to run and bounce off the wall and go for a touch, Rich, it's an acrobatics check.

Rich

Can't cast Fireball with you right there.

Jake

Yes, you can.

Rich

would hit you. I'm not trying to hit you.

Jake

That's Yeah, well... I'm not trying to let a vampire escape today.

Ozan

Got some eggs. Will it hurt mist form?

Jake

Last time I checked, I had a fucking kick-ass team who forced me health potions, so...

Rich

In fact, I'm pretty sure it would really fuck him up in mist form, getting hit as vapor with a bunch of fire.

Ozan

Beautiful. Yeah. He'll be fine. He'll be fine. He's strong.

Jake

Pussy trying to run?

Nutty

Jake's a very nimble man. He can take it.

Jake

It's time.

Rich

All right, going for it.

Nutty

All right, I cast you fireballs. Wait, hold on now.

Jake

Whoa, hold on. Don't echo cast that, dude.

Jake

I'm trying to be lightly toasted, not extra crispy, Rich.

Rich

I'm just casting at the once. Don't worry.

Pat

What did you do, Rich?

Rich

I cast Fireball. I will...

Pat

Okay, where do you put it?

Rich

Roughly against this part of the ceiling.

Pat

Roll Spellcraft, don't botch.

Pat

Perfectly placed.

Rich

I will drop my damage.

Pat

It will hit Wu as well as him.

Rich

I'm sorry, Jake.

Jake

Apology accepted.

Rich

I will heal you again. I have a potion.

Pat

reflexively.

Jake table talk

Maryland, the best word.

Nutty

Boom.

Jake

There you go, baby.

Rich

Definitely made it.

Pat

What's the save, DC?

Rich

I want to say it was 18. Let me check.

Ozan

It says 19 on your thing.

Rich

The 19th.

Pat

It makes sense.

Rich

Well, 10 damage to him in mist form.

Pat

Is that, what did you roll a 20?

Rich

Yes.

Pat

Jake takes 10. He takes 10. JB, what are you doing?

Rich

I think Jake takes five because of another DR of five on that.

Pat

Oh, Jake takes five. Does he have DR every turn?

Nutty

what, 50 or something?

Jake

That is amazing. Oh my God. I feel this is the most pampered I've ever felt.

Rich

So many support classes.

Jake

I do. I do. And I feel so supportive right now.

Pat

Hit points, hit points, fly, go! Damage reduction.

Jake

Yeah, dude. Yeah, another fucking... Another hurricane kick. Not applying the dot this turn.

Pat

You can hurricane kick mist.

Rich

Oh, right before I could give you haste.

Jake

Son of a bitch.

Pat

You heard King Kick to Mist, do you have magic modifiers on that?

Jake

24, yes.

Jake

Only magic.

Pat

How much damage?

Jake

24.

Pat

Your fists go into the mist and you still feel like you impart some of that through to him.

Pat

It still doesn't have resistance like you're hitting something, but you feel the magic discharge into him.

Jake

I feel it.

Jake

Turn.

Pat

And on his turn... The mist starts flowing into the cracks in the ceiling.

Jake

Thanks for

Nutty

popular missed move.

Jake

Ow, we didn't do what?

Nutty

I mean, I knew they could turn into bats, but miss, that's just... Jesus.

Nutty

A bat you can punch.

Rich

If we were to take like a bag of holding and just get part of the mist. He wouldn't be able to reincorporate or reincorporate himself, would he?

Pat table talk

Now you guys are thinking...

Nutty

I don't have a peg holding.

Pat

We're no longer an initiative.

Jake

I dropped to my knees and I pound the ground above my fist.

Ozan

He's just in mist form hanging out there.

Pat

No, he slipped through cracks in the bricks.

Ozan

probably slipped through.

Nutty

Pat, didn't you say I saw a race or something?

Pat

You saw Wraiths in the room to the south when you were struggling with the curtains.

Nutty

Like were they in that room with me?

Pat

Yeah, you saw a few of them.

Nutty

They didn't attack me though.

Pat

No, they didn't have a chance. You were kind of in the middle of the blanket.

Nutty

super quick.

Pat table talk

And I think that's game, guys.

Rich table talk

God damn it.

Jess

but I just got my autonomy back.

Jake table talk

Disappointed!

Nutty

We survived somehow.

Jake table talk

Yeah, with the power of friendship.

Jess

I can't believe I almost killed Jake.

Pat

And fate points.

Nutty

Yeah, I've expelled everything.

Rich table talk

Thank you, guys.

Rich

So we spent them together.

Jake

Right. Yeah.

Jess

I don't think I've ever rolled as well as when I went to kill Jake.

Jake

dude yes you fucking dude you rolled great stabbing that knife into my kidney

Jess

Yeah, man, that was like, well, for the ages.

Jake

That was great.

Nutty

It's a really natural 20 Jake twice.

Jess

Just really wanted that for a will save, you know?

Jake

Dude.

Jake table talk

I don't care, man. We all got that shit down. We fucked up with Strahd. Fuck that cunt.

Jess table talk

Trying to deal.

Rich

Trying to de-level my ass, son of a bitch.

Jake

Oh, shit. I wish I could have grabbed on. I have nothing to fucking do with that.

Jake

I can trip him. I can't crit him. I can't crit Undead. The thing I'm supposed to do, the thing my monk is built to do, is in that flurry of blows, I hit him with a headbutt. And what that headbutt does is that headbutt provokes a combat maneuver check. So I can trip them and get another attack of opportunity. And I can't do that with Undead.

Nutty

I think...

Nutty

I think if he grabbed him, he could still mist form away.

Jake

I'm supposed to start stun locking motherfuckers left and right and literally I can't do any of it.

Rich

Probably grapple, ground, and pound the guy, but he might just turn it missed on you again.

Jake

Right. Yes. Once he's on the ground, then when he comes back up, I get a combat maneuver check. Yeah, no, it's rough.

Jake

Oh, good on everybody. Dude, this mind dominant, this 18 above will save shit is just wrecking all of them.

Jake table talk

There's nothing we can do about it. We go into a room, we're getting dominated. Like shit is going down.

Rich table talk
