The Badlands - Ep. 56: Fire With Fire

0:19 [SPEAKER_01]: Hello, and welcome back to another episode of May Chan High Five. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm your dungeon master, Casey Pappas, and with me, right, least most likely to accidentally close the TaxiCab door on their coat and be pulled down the street now to sight. [UNKNOWN]: Oh! [SPEAKER_04]: That's so funny.

0:40 [SPEAKER_04]: First, Max Weinberg. [SPEAKER_00]: Hello, I am Max Weinberg playing YF4's Scythe, and I'm from the Northeast. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't wear a coat. [SPEAKER_02]: That's not the way I thought that would go. [SPEAKER_01]: All right. [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, next Robin Langenhub. [SPEAKER_02]: Hi, I'm Robin Langenhub playing Hayden Kincade.

0:58 [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm sad about how likely this would be. [SPEAKER_02]: Part of me wishes that I go with the coat. [SPEAKER_02]: And then we get into a fun little Buster Keaton situation. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no, you get pulled down the street now to sight. [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I thought the coat was being pulled away from me.

1:15 [SPEAKER_02]: If I'm going with the coat, then yeah, you're being dragged through town by the coat. [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, dear. [SPEAKER_02]: I'm concerned from my personal safety and that's a Benny Hill, and then I'll be okay. [SPEAKER_01]: And last, Rowan McStay. [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know, my luck goes one of two ways, and it's really good or really bad, like there's nothing in between.

1:38 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, with that, let's dive right here. [SPEAKER_01]: Last time, on Mage hand, Haifa. [SPEAKER_01]: Boyd revealed to Wyatt his motive for harnessing the flame, selling immortality to the rich. [SPEAKER_01]: They began to fight, with Boyd stealing the flames' power for himself, while Wyatt healed it, and was rewarded in turn.

2:05 [SPEAKER_01]: Upstairs, Solomon Hayden rescued the flame knights and father Maldinin, ordering them to release as many prisoners as possible before attempting to take the elevator down to Wyatt. [SPEAKER_01]: On the way down, however, they were attacked by the rath, escaping only by cutting the cables to the elevator car.

2:24 [SPEAKER_01]: And when we last left off, Boyd had transformed the arena, bringing himself and Wyatt up into it while leveling the entire pit compound. [SPEAKER_01]: Where you are now. [SPEAKER_01]: This arena, the pit, as it has been called, has changed. [SPEAKER_01]: A widening rift opened in the middle of the games on the arena floor, and a new floor has risen from the depths.

3:00 [SPEAKER_01]: On it, [SPEAKER_01]: is a hobgoblin child on his back screaming, and a bugbear man who has now fully enveloped himself in fire. [SPEAKER_01]: Hayden, Solome, and Belinda. [SPEAKER_00]: What? [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [UNKNOWN]: Yep. [SPEAKER_01]: You are all in cell block F. [SPEAKER_01]: where the elevator has opened out into.

3:34 [SPEAKER_01]: The elevator behind you is no more because the bottom of the shaft rose with the rest of this subterranean level and has completely destroyed it. [SPEAKER_01]: you look, the arena still stands out in front of you, why it screaming, and you watch as the bug bear man cackles and then. [SPEAKER_01]: You see platforms, walls, tunnels, an entire maze constructed entirely of magic rises from the arena floor and rushes Wyatt to the far side, away from this man.

4:27 [SPEAKER_05]: Does this all look like it's happening on purpose? [SPEAKER_01]: This looks like it's on purpose for the bug bear man. [SPEAKER_05]: Oh great. [SPEAKER_05]: Okay, that's what I've got. [SPEAKER_01]: The crowd is screaming and running for their lives. [SPEAKER_01]: Cool. [SPEAKER_01]: Cool.

4:41 [SPEAKER_05]: Okay, I just wanted to get a sense of vibe for everyone. [SPEAKER_01]: So it's a crowd. [SPEAKER_01]: Yep, well, who else would be in the stands? [SPEAKER_05]: The crowd is, the crowd is not cheering. [SPEAKER_01]: the crowd is screaming in terror. [SPEAKER_01]: Some of them are running, some of them are clapping because they don't know what's happening.

4:57 [SPEAKER_02]: Can we see the other prisoners? [SPEAKER_02]: Are the other flaminges around? [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they're just here. [SPEAKER_01]: So we feed the flaminges. [SPEAKER_01]: No, the flaminges are out releasing other prisoners. [SPEAKER_03]: Ooh. [SPEAKER_01]: Wyatt. [SPEAKER_01]: As you are on the ground, a wall raises between you and void, and then that wall [SPEAKER_01]: rushes you along, scooping you up, essentially you are pressed against the wall, going so fast.

5:33 [SPEAKER_01]: You are thrown to the far side of the arena. [SPEAKER_01]: You slam into the ground, bah bah bah rolling head over ass. [SPEAKER_01]: And then as you come to a stop, a box rises up around you with the number 20. [SPEAKER_01]: A little green 20 appears over your head. [SPEAKER_01]: And you hear welcome back to the final round of the pit.

6:08 [SPEAKER_01]: Audiences, you're really gonna want to stick around for this one. [SPEAKER_01]: And then, I need everyone to roll perception checks. [SPEAKER_02]: 19. [SPEAKER_02]: 10. [SPEAKER_02]: 18. [SPEAKER_01]: 8. [SPEAKER_01]: You look and watch as the shimmering wall renewed with even more power than ever.

6:38 [SPEAKER_01]: Rises around the arena fully preventing you and Solomon from heading into the arena. [SPEAKER_02]: So there's no way for us to help Wyatt? [SPEAKER_01]: There's no way to get in? [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, you see along the walkway ringing the arena three massive jets of flame arc up, spilling from cracks ripping themselves open in the floor, and you watch as, boyd, you assume, pulls more of the flames power into himself.

7:20 [SPEAKER_01]: And you deduce that if Boyd's siphons the flame's energy before, anyone can stop him. [SPEAKER_01]: He went, even now, you watch as these three arcs of flame outside of the arena begin to lower, not quite as fearsome as before. [SPEAKER_01]: But an open flame can always burn brighter, it just needs fuel.

7:46 [SPEAKER_02]: Salome, baby, we gotta get to these flames. [SPEAKER_02]: We gotta keep them going. [SPEAKER_02]: Baby. [SPEAKER_01]: Baby. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm talking about. [SPEAKER_01]: But Linda, sort of, grimaces and goes, hmm. [SPEAKER_02]: All right, noted, do not say that again. [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so we think we need to keep the flame going.

8:06 [SPEAKER_02]: If the flame goes out, if boy takes all of it, then I think that's the end for us. [SPEAKER_01]: Why it? [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, as you look the front door of the box, the one with the number 20 on it, slams down. [SPEAKER_01]: And you hear a voice that says, Blast your bets, folks. [SPEAKER_01]: Will he make it to the other side?

8:28 [SPEAKER_01]: Or will he die? [SPEAKER_01]: Why you look on the far side of this maze is void. [SPEAKER_01]: Boyd is pulling more and more of the flames power if he pulls it all, the flame might die. [SPEAKER_01]: Boyd has the power to kill a god today. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, and you realize you may need to kill him first.

8:58 [SPEAKER_00]: Why it is going to... gather himself and kind of take in what's happening around him. [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. [SPEAKER_00]: And yell out to Boyd. [SPEAKER_00]: Boyd, what have you done? [SPEAKER_00]: I'm taking what's mine. [SPEAKER_01]: Eternal... life. [SPEAKER_01]: For me to sell as I fucking please.

9:20 [SPEAKER_00]: Upon hearing that, why it is going to begin praying to cast some in celestial at a sixth level? [SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, which I'm hoping will let me summon just like a smaller flame lion avatar? [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, who can fly? [SPEAKER_00]: It can fly. [SPEAKER_02]: A little flame cub? [SPEAKER_00]: No, it is large.

9:43 [SPEAKER_00]: This avatar of the flame lion is large and can fly. [SPEAKER_00]: Incredible. [SPEAKER_00]: If I would be allowed to ride it. [SPEAKER_00]: Here's what happens. [SPEAKER_01]: You summon forth in a jet of flame, a smaller version of the eternal flame. [SPEAKER_01]: It is a lion. [SPEAKER_01]: It's head engulfed in flame.

10:11 [SPEAKER_01]: You can't see. [SPEAKER_01]: It is just so bright. [SPEAKER_01]: It is majestic. [SPEAKER_01]: and you slide onto its back. [SPEAKER_01]: And as you start to rise up into the air, you watch as the maze rises up too. [SPEAKER_01]: And that brings me to what solemnly sees. [SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.

10:38 [SPEAKER_01]: It's all in me. [SPEAKER_01]: You clock the arena changing against Wyatt. [SPEAKER_01]: and you wonder if he passes through this maze, will walls block off his progress? [SPEAKER_01]: Will monsters be guided to his path? [SPEAKER_01]: And then you remember that there is someone in charge of the games here.

11:03 [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I wasn't forgetting. [SPEAKER_05]: I was thinking about him for a minute. [SPEAKER_01]: You scanned the arena. [SPEAKER_01]: But you do not see him. [SPEAKER_01]: if the good doctor is not taken out, why it won't reach void in time. [SPEAKER_05]: Okay, so it seems like somebody's got to keep fan in this flame.

11:25 [SPEAKER_05]: I've got no way to do that other than maybe to try to heal it, but I don't really have fire spells like that. [SPEAKER_05]: I can work on getting the flame is onto those. [SPEAKER_05]: I've got a little bit of fire myself. [SPEAKER_05]: All right, I'm, I'm, I'm gonna go kill Dr. Vish. [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, fun, great, meet a hand.

11:42 [SPEAKER_05]: Maybe, I don't know. [SPEAKER_05]: Look, just be careful. [SPEAKER_05]: Keep an eye out for the Wrath and Mary-Jean Crenshaw, Wayne Rott, Letterno, whatever the hell her name is. [SPEAKER_02]: All right. [SPEAKER_02]: I'll get the flames going. [SPEAKER_02]: You go after the dock. [SPEAKER_02]: I'll find you once we've got this under control.

11:55 [SPEAKER_02]: You got it. [SPEAKER_00]: You hear why it just yell, what? [SPEAKER_02]: Casey, is there any sign of the previous competitors? [SPEAKER_01]: Hmm, you see that they were pushed out of the arena before the wall went back up. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, anyone who was still alive during the games as the ground split open, the old arena was shoved out to the side, into the stands.

12:29 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you watch as some of the former lifers [SPEAKER_01]: Hell yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: This is no longer a prison. [SPEAKER_01]: This is a war zone. [SPEAKER_02]: Remember, it's all the way, we got some allies out there. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, we do, okay, uh, Casey. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_05]: Are we seeing, like, are we in, I don't know, within, say, like, give or take 120 feet of the audience?

12:55 [SPEAKER_01]: Yes. [SPEAKER_05]: Is there anyone cheering? [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there's people cheering. [SPEAKER_05]: People cheering and watching. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: they don't know what's going on. [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of people have left have started screaming and heading for the exit, but there are definitely some people still here still like cheering and they're giddy.

13:13 [SPEAKER_01]: They're clapping and waving their hands. [SPEAKER_05]: I shoot one of them. [SPEAKER_05]: Oh shit. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_05]: I shoot one of them on my way out to go get their fish. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you clock a particularly wicked looking human man cackling at what's going on you hear him shout yeah kill the boy Okay, as you blow a hole through him well yeah, no, that is let's see the first hit would be 20 32 damage on the first hit yeah There was a human man sitting there [SPEAKER_05]: Great.

13:50 [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, Solomon looks out at the arena and why it in it alone with us not being able to get to him and sees all of these 3Den spectators. [SPEAKER_05]: cheering as this child is put into harm's way. [SPEAKER_05]: And something terribly cold rises up in her, something that she picked up from three.

14:16 [SPEAKER_05]: And she points the gun at this man's back and just pulls the trigger. [SPEAKER_05]: And I will take that extra plus one modifier to the gun from another person that's [SPEAKER_05]: Uh, and I will run after Dr. Vish. [SPEAKER_00]: What is happening? [SPEAKER_05]: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

14:54 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, people in the box seats get a behind-the-scenes look at how the games are run. [SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes in progress. [SPEAKER_01]: You want to show me? [SPEAKER_01]: She, yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: She nods and says, yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: You're different. [SPEAKER_01]: You've changed.

15:13 [SPEAKER_05]: Narling girls gets don't kill their husbands. [SPEAKER_05]: Have I changed? [SPEAKER_05]: Did you just not know me? [SPEAKER_05]: And we run up. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you run. [SPEAKER_01]: why it, you realize that no matter where you fly, this maze is going to meet you, someone is changing the maze.

15:34 [SPEAKER_01]: The only way to boyd is through. [SPEAKER_01]: I start having the lion running, you [SPEAKER_01]: you turn a corner and watch as a wall closes off the corridor in front of you. [SPEAKER_01]: As you're doubling back you look and see a ladder leading up to another floor. [SPEAKER_00]: But there's still ways to run forward.

16:14 [SPEAKER_00]: Can I make a perception check to kind of try to keep my bearing of which direction [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, you sense that the ladder would take you forward. [SPEAKER_01]: There is another corridor that leads away, maybe sideways, and then the corridor you came from. [SPEAKER_01]: I would have to keep running along the corridor.

16:38 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, you do, and as you do, you hear a- and you look back to see the ladder recoiling into a mimics mouth. [SPEAKER_01]: And you continue. [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, you are rushing forward to the nearest flame. [SPEAKER_01]: You see a dazed Goliath man struggling to his feet as if he were just shoved off of the arena floor.

17:10 [SPEAKER_02]: Muldrick, you all right, how you doing? [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, hi. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad you're alive. [SPEAKER_02]: Y'all right, you do okay? [SPEAKER_01]: Yes. [SPEAKER_01]: What is going on? [SPEAKER_02]: Not 100% on that. [SPEAKER_02]: Looks like why it's fighting for his life. [SPEAKER_02]: But we need to keep these fires going and solemnly is out to take out whoever's running this whole shindig.

17:32 [SPEAKER_02]: Have you seen a little dwarf lady? [SPEAKER_01]: What? [SPEAKER_01]: A little dwarf lady. [SPEAKER_02]: She's she's wild one. [SPEAKER_02]: She likes cream corn. [SPEAKER_02]: I assume there's no cream corn in the arena But we'll get to that later. [SPEAKER_02]: Have you seen her did you run into her in the game?

17:46 [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I don't know. [SPEAKER_01]: I saw I saw a darker woman. [SPEAKER_01]: I saw a yes. [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, what that's her. [SPEAKER_02]: We're looking for her. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, do you know what she is? [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, well, I mean, there is a little bit of a difference between dwarves and worker.

18:00 [SPEAKER_01]: They are they're slow. [SPEAKER_02]: I'm we're short on time, buddy um [SPEAKER_01]: I saw her. [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know where she went. [SPEAKER_01]: She killed a man right in front of me and then kept going. [SPEAKER_02]: That sounds like her. [SPEAKER_02]: Um, she has a dark passage.

18:13 [SPEAKER_02]: It's a whole thing. [SPEAKER_01]: God. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: Look, time is running short. [SPEAKER_01]: Wait, did you want to help us out? [SPEAKER_01]: She looked familiar. [SPEAKER_01]: She looked familiar. [SPEAKER_01]: Was she from the mines? [SPEAKER_01]: That's right! [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, she helped us try to kill y'all when you were all, you know, done up by the red I got.

18:31 [SPEAKER_06]: Oh my god, I forgot about that. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, we're gonna worry about that later and he draws his sword and as he does, it lights in flame. [SPEAKER_02]: All right, you all flame it. [SPEAKER_02]: We need to keep this flame going, it'll help why it. [SPEAKER_01]: I am a flamey, where do you need me to go?

18:51 [SPEAKER_01]: Point two, one of the flame spouts, you point. [SPEAKER_01]: You are at the one that is between the other two. [SPEAKER_01]: So if the arena was a clock, you're at like six o'clock. [SPEAKER_01]: There's another one at three o'clock and another one at nine o'clock. [SPEAKER_02]: Got it.

19:12 [SPEAKER_02]: Muldrick, you gotta keep this flame burn and as high as you can as long as you can. [SPEAKER_02]: Can you do that? [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, he, immediately plunges his sword into the jet, and- F- It lights. [SPEAKER_02]: Great. [SPEAKER_02]: Everything you got, we need these fires burning. [SPEAKER_02]: He begins to pray.

19:32 [SPEAKER_02]: All right, I'm going to keep it going. [SPEAKER_02]: May the flame do it. [SPEAKER_02]: Whatever the fuck, I'm going. [SPEAKER_01]: You, you turn. [SPEAKER_01]: So, at the moment, Mordric is at the one in the middle. [SPEAKER_01]: Do you turn the one on the left or the one on the right?

19:47 [SPEAKER_02]: Left. [SPEAKER_01]: you turn, and as you do, someone comes out of invisibility in front of you. [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, [SPEAKER_01]: Let's handle you getting to your place before we internship.

20:24 [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I think Belinda starts to lead. [SPEAKER_05]: I look behind one more time to see why it, just to make sure that he's OK at least for now. [SPEAKER_05]: And then I go up with Belinda. [SPEAKER_01]: You rush forward. [SPEAKER_01]: Belinda leading the way. [SPEAKER_01]: You charge up the stands.

20:45 [SPEAKER_01]: Some of the expect it you look. [SPEAKER_01]: In the middle of the stands is a pathway down to the entrance of the lobby. [SPEAKER_01]: You see people shoving each other hand over foot to teleport through the circle in the middle of the lobby. [SPEAKER_05]: Can I use the last two shots of my eldritch blast to try to destroy the circle?

21:03 [SPEAKER_01]: Damn, okay, yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Sure, roll attack throws. [SPEAKER_05]: That is a 25 and a 21. [SPEAKER_01]: Both hit, roll damage. [SPEAKER_05]: Okay. [SPEAKER_05]: First one is 48. [SPEAKER_05]: Okay. [SPEAKER_05]: Second one is 54. [SPEAKER_01]: You deal over a hundred points of damage.

21:33 [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, 102. [SPEAKER_01]: To this teleportation circle. [SPEAKER_01]: You see the shots whiz past the people trying to teleport through, smash into the ground, you watch it shatter and then, like all magic objects do when they're destroyed, explode. [SPEAKER_01]: The crowd rockets backward, all of them slamming into the ground.

22:00 [SPEAKER_01]: As this teleportation circle is destroyed. [SPEAKER_04]: Don't think you can just run on back to Thread. [SPEAKER_04]: You will stay here and take what reckoning is yours. [SPEAKER_04]: Thread is death and death is what you deserve. [SPEAKER_01]: Ballinda stops short and just looks at you.

22:18 [SPEAKER_05]: That's fine, Dan. [SPEAKER_05]: I'm on we're on an out of time. [SPEAKER_01]: If you go to say something, says nothing, then cocks are head up to the booth and you both continue up. [SPEAKER_01]: Inside, in the center of the box, hands flying through complex patterns of advanced spell weaving is docked Dervish.

22:45 [SPEAKER_01]: He throws up a hand and a wall rises up before Wyatt blocking his path. [SPEAKER_01]: The dock grins and the wall begins forcing Wyatt back up the way he came. [SPEAKER_01]: He is busy spell weaving. [SPEAKER_01]: You see that there is no one else in this room. [SPEAKER_01]: It seems that the higher to your patrons decided not to stick around.

23:11 [SPEAKER_05]: Does it seem like we've caught him by surprise? [SPEAKER_01]: He does not make any motion to you. [SPEAKER_01]: Nor does he halt his spell weaving. [SPEAKER_05]: Right. [SPEAKER_05]: Well, then rather than alerting him to our presence with some sort of monologue, I will cast not cast. [SPEAKER_05]: Excuse me.

23:28 [SPEAKER_05]: I will use a bonus action to use Hexplade's curse on him. [SPEAKER_05]: Okay. [SPEAKER_05]: And then I will fire off another electric blast out of him. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: Roll. [SPEAKER_05]: That is a 26. [SPEAKER_01]: Roll damage. [SPEAKER_05]: Uh, the next one is a. [SPEAKER_05]: That is a 15.

23:46 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_05]: And that is a 27. [SPEAKER_01]: You fire. [SPEAKER_01]: The first one fully hits. [SPEAKER_01]: The second one glances off of a magic shield, surrounding him, but the third one also hits. [SPEAKER_05]: Hang on, but my diary set. [SPEAKER_05]: All right, first hit does 45 damage.

24:13 [SPEAKER_05]: The second one is a little chancy is only 16 and third one is 25, plus an extra 12 from Hexblitz first. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_05]: And with each of the hits, he gets pushed via repelling blast, 10 feet in front of him in a straight line. [SPEAKER_05]: So if there's glass or like a force field or something like that, he just gets boom, boom, into it.

24:43 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he is thrown against the glass twice. [SPEAKER_01]: Ah, ah, ah, he, ah, snorles, turns around. [SPEAKER_01]: Waves one last hand to the arena. [SPEAKER_01]: And you see all of the walls begin to shuffle. [SPEAKER_05]: You haven't fun yet, Doc? [SPEAKER_01]: These smiles and says, oh, the party's just getting started.

25:07 [SPEAKER_01]: Glad you can make it to the box seats. [SPEAKER_01]: Miss Jamison. [SPEAKER_01]: If that is your real name. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it is. [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, great. [SPEAKER_01]: And now, I'm going to have all of you roll initiative. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: Solome. [SPEAKER_05]: Four.

25:23 [SPEAKER_05]: Four. [SPEAKER_05]: Wow. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Look at you. [SPEAKER_05]: Somebody's got to bring up the bottom, and it's me. [SPEAKER_01]: Someone's got to be the caboose. [SPEAKER_01]: Hayden. [SPEAKER_01]: 16. [SPEAKER_02]: Do you see his caboose in the badlands? [SPEAKER_01]: Hayden, what is your dex?

25:40 [SPEAKER_02]: My dex is plus four. [SPEAKER_02]: 19, specifically. [SPEAKER_01]: Roll a D20. [SPEAKER_02]: Okay? [SPEAKER_01]: You know, just in case you and somebody else who tied with you had the exact same decks. [SPEAKER_00]: 12. [SPEAKER_00]: Why it? [SPEAKER_00]: 11. [SPEAKER_00]: And the lion goes on my initiative, but right afterwards.

26:04 [SPEAKER_01]: At the top of the order is boyd. [SPEAKER_01]: Boyd uses his action to draw more of the flames, power, and you watch as all arcs of flame in the arena start to dim. [SPEAKER_01]: He cackles maniacally and says, I'm gonna kill your god now, white. [SPEAKER_01]: And when I've taken him for everything he's got, I'm gonna sell his fucking carcass for money.

26:38 [SPEAKER_01]: And then maybe I'll be your god's son. [SPEAKER_01]: How do you feel about that? [SPEAKER_00]: What, I can't hear you. [SPEAKER_00]: We're really far away from each other. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't get a god. [SPEAKER_01]: What? [SPEAKER_01]: Next in the order is Blanda. [SPEAKER_01]: Blanda side eyes you, Solomon says.

26:55 [SPEAKER_01]: We kill on this guy. [SPEAKER_05]: This ain't your fight. [SPEAKER_05]: You sure you want to be in it? [SPEAKER_01]: She looks at you and she says, let's just get through the fight. [SPEAKER_05]: All right. [SPEAKER_05]: Then yeah, we're killing this guy. [SPEAKER_01]: isn't there. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it's weird.

27:11 [SPEAKER_01]: She slashes with two her two of her daggers and both of them passed through the magic shield and sliced at Doctor Vicious Chest. [SPEAKER_01]: He recoils back screaming [SPEAKER_01]: You feel a blade, slide into your back. [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, Luther did the same thing last time I saw him.

27:44 [SPEAKER_06]: You two really did deserve each other, didn't you? [SPEAKER_01]: And I need you to make a DC, actually I'm not going to tell you the DC. [SPEAKER_01]: I need you to make a constitution saving throw. [SPEAKER_05]: All right. [SPEAKER_05]: How's it 22 Treacher? [SPEAKER_01]: Hmm. [SPEAKER_05]: Hmm.

28:00 [SPEAKER_05]: Is that enough? [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: You feel poison. [SPEAKER_01]: be into rise in your body, and you will it down. [SPEAKER_06]: Then work when you did it, I ain't gonna work when you do it, Mary Jane. [SPEAKER_01]: She says, that don't matter. [SPEAKER_01]: I still get to stab you two more times.

28:19 [SPEAKER_01]: Shit. [SPEAKER_01]: This time she does not get advantage on the two attacks. [SPEAKER_01]: However, one of them still hits. [SPEAKER_01]: So, you're going to take eight points of piercing damage and 11 points of poison damage. [SPEAKER_01]: as two more, sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh [SPEAKER_01]: Next is Hayden.

28:59 [SPEAKER_01]: Hayden. [SPEAKER_01]: The Wrath stands before you. [SPEAKER_01]: Both blades ready to fight you. [SPEAKER_02]: I have no quarrel with you, but if you insist on this fight, I must protect my friends. [SPEAKER_01]: They chuckle, and they say insist, I live for this. [SPEAKER_02]: Alright.

29:29 [SPEAKER_02]: The first thing I do is call up the last of my spirits. [SPEAKER_02]: I call up the spirit of wink the cat. [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wink who is curled up across my shoulders with his one good eye. [SPEAKER_02]: And he grants me advantage on checks made to detect creatures. [SPEAKER_02]: Hmm. [SPEAKER_02]: So if the rate goes invisible again, I might be okay.

30:02 [SPEAKER_02]: Hmm. [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. [SPEAKER_02]: Cool. [SPEAKER_02]: And then I will raise the lucky shot at a plus three and fire. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, rolled it at the 19 on the die for a 29. [SPEAKER_02]: 32. [SPEAKER_02]: Wow. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: No. [SPEAKER_01]: There's no way that doesn't hit.

30:22 [SPEAKER_02]: So this is 28. [SPEAKER_02]: Plus the D6 of poison from my absorb elements. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_02]: Plus I am marking the wraith as my favorite foe for another D4. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_02]: That is 17 damage for my first hit. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: How much of that was poison damage?

30:43 [SPEAKER_02]: How much of that [SPEAKER_02]: Alright, and for my second hit, I will use Glitter Baby to get advantage on this hit. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_02]: That is a 27 to hit on the second attack. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that hits. [SPEAKER_01]: Roll damage. [SPEAKER_02]: That's a lot of ones. [SPEAKER_02]: That's still 20 damage, though.

31:03 [UNKNOWN]: There you go. [SPEAKER_01]: That's a good one, God. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, God, you get some hits in. [SPEAKER_01]: hit the rath, the rath staggers back, you hit parts of their armor that have opened up that have crumpled from the, from the, uh, from the elevator fall. [SPEAKER_01]: Anything else?

31:29 [SPEAKER_02]: I will throw on just an extra teeny little d4 of damage. [SPEAKER_02]: Go. [SPEAKER_02]: From my dreadful strike. [SPEAKER_02]: So that's an [SPEAKER_02]: and I brace for retaliation. [SPEAKER_01]: Do you continue forward? [SPEAKER_01]: You see the flame die down in the distance. [SPEAKER_01]: It's about 60 feet away right now.

31:55 [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I will start moving in the hopes that the wraith follows me instead of going after more Drake. [SPEAKER_02]: I'm kind of trying to continue this fight as I approach the flame. [SPEAKER_01]: So you leave the wraith's melee range. [SPEAKER_02]: I am inching in that direction. [SPEAKER_01]: So you strafe around.

32:17 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, maybe go like to the other side of this five feet. [SPEAKER_01]: You make it five feet closer. [SPEAKER_01]: There are 55 feet left. [SPEAKER_01]: You do not leave their melee range. [SPEAKER_01]: Correct. [SPEAKER_01]: Great. [SPEAKER_01]: Next in the order is the rath. [SPEAKER_01]: The rath is going to use their bonus action to finish.

32:33 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I figure. [SPEAKER_01]: And then they are going to attack you. [SPEAKER_01]: So that is a crit on the first attack. [SPEAKER_01]: Jeez. [SPEAKER_01]: A 21 on the second attack. [SPEAKER_01]: and a 20 on the third attack. [SPEAKER_05]: I can't keep this going y'all. [SPEAKER_05]: I don't like that you're 1v1ing the Ray right now.

32:55 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm probably gonna need to run if it's gonna be like this. [SPEAKER_01]: You take 9 points of piercing damage and 21 points of poison damage. [SPEAKER_02]: Ooh, I will cast your absorb elements again. [SPEAKER_01]: And you are poisoned until the start of the Ray's next turn. [SPEAKER_02]: I will make that a fourth level absorb elements.

33:18 [SPEAKER_01]: Hmm. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_02]: I'm bloody. [SPEAKER_01]: Next in the order is Doc Dervish. [SPEAKER_01]: Doc's going to direct both of his attacks towards Belinda. [SPEAKER_05]: I don't like that. [SPEAKER_05]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: One of them is going to hit and one of them is going to miss.

33:38 [SPEAKER_01]: He fires off to burst attacks and she is going to take 18-force damage as one of the bolts hits her in the chest. [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, can I use Channel Divinity Rebuke the Violent? [SPEAKER_05]: Here, he's going to have to make a wisdom save. [SPEAKER_01]: Sure, okay. [SPEAKER_05]: These he's 17.

34:02 [SPEAKER_01]: He saves. [SPEAKER_05]: Shit. [SPEAKER_05]: Okay. [SPEAKER_05]: He still takes nine damage. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: It reverberates and boar knocks him back too. [SPEAKER_05]: Why don't you come on over here, Darlin? [SPEAKER_05]: I thought you wanted to fight me. [SPEAKER_01]: He smiles and then you see him vanish in a cloud of smoke.

34:21 [SPEAKER_06]: Oh shit. [SPEAKER_01]: You see him reappear on the other side of the glass outside of the box. [SPEAKER_01]: Wiggles his fingers and then turns back to the arena. [SPEAKER_05]: on the other side of the box. [SPEAKER_05]: Okay, but he's still in the audience. [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, he's on the other side of the glass.

34:37 [SPEAKER_01]: He's in the stands now. [SPEAKER_01]: And you say him turn and start walking down the arena steps. [SPEAKER_05]: No, holy Hill. [SPEAKER_05]: Okay, we gotta get him. [SPEAKER_01]: Wyatt, it is your turn. [SPEAKER_01]: You come upon a three-way split. [SPEAKER_01]: This maze branches off in three directions, and you do not know which one is the right one.

35:06 [SPEAKER_00]: I would like to use my action to cast sacred flame down the path on the right to fully get like an explosion of light or something to try to see what might be down there. [SPEAKER_01]: You launch a jet of flame down that path. [SPEAKER_01]: It scorches the far wall lights up. [SPEAKER_01]: and you hear a... come from around the corner.

35:34 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I'm not that direction. [SPEAKER_01]: You start to see a head emerge from around that side. [SPEAKER_01]: Reptilian in nature. [SPEAKER_01]: Let's go left. [SPEAKER_01]: You turn down the left path as the head of a hydra. [SPEAKER_01]: arc sits way up the other path. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry, what?

35:53 [SPEAKER_01]: Great. [SPEAKER_01]: You come upon an open pit. [SPEAKER_01]: It is just a drop. [SPEAKER_01]: And it is 30 feet from this side to the other side. [SPEAKER_00]: I fly on my lion. [SPEAKER_00]: Fuck, you fly it. [SPEAKER_00]: You fly across. [SPEAKER_01]: You fly across, you've solved, you solved my chasm puzzle.

36:16 [SPEAKER_04]: Why it on a flaming lion is so good. [SPEAKER_01]: It's so great. [SPEAKER_05]: I can't love this for our boy. [SPEAKER_05]: I wish we could see it. [SPEAKER_01]: Why it as you leap to the other side, easily continue on down the path. [SPEAKER_01]: I forgot about your fucking flying lion.

36:32 [SPEAKER_01]: You turn a corner and see, you see another split. [SPEAKER_01]: And as you do, I wall. [SPEAKER_01]: comes up on one and that path completely disappears, leaving you with only one option. [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I cautiously go down this option and you continue down the other one as you do the sky opens up, you see in the distance void and you think you might be able to get one shot in.

37:06 [SPEAKER_01]: Like you see the doors shifting and closing, like you see sort of your whole of opportunity coming and going. [SPEAKER_01]: You wouldn't be able to make the gap, but maybe a spell could. [SPEAKER_00]: So why it, as he sees this opportunity close, will cast a fourth level scorching ray. [SPEAKER_00]: Ooh, okay, which means I get four rays instead of three and each of these rays gets a D10 if they hit?

37:37 [SPEAKER_00]: Yes. [SPEAKER_00]: Hey, well 14 18 24 Nat 20 It's pretty great The 14 does not hit [SPEAKER_01]: The 18 does hit, and all of the other ones hit, too. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they all hit, they all hit. [SPEAKER_02]: You like that, didn't you? [SPEAKER_00]: I get three hits, which is gonna be 66 plus 3D 10.

38:08 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and any ones I roll are two's, ooh, okay. [SPEAKER_00]: That's 40 total damage? [SPEAKER_00]: Ooh, okay. [SPEAKER_00]: As from the Lion's mouth, just a blast of fire shoots out. [SPEAKER_04]: Ah, that's so good. [SPEAKER_04]: That's so good. [SPEAKER_01]: That's so good. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, God, it's incredible.

38:31 [SPEAKER_01]: You watch as this flame [SPEAKER_01]: flares up and then flashes out in four bolts. [SPEAKER_01]: They fly through the gap. [SPEAKER_01]: One of them hits off of a wall and misses the other three, make their target. [SPEAKER_01]: And rock it into Boyd, Hayden and Solomon. [SPEAKER_01]: Hayden, especially, you see three jets of flame erupt from within the maze and slam into void and watch as three times full.

39:13 [SPEAKER_01]: The fire in front of you arcs up. [SPEAKER_02]: All right, good side. [SPEAKER_01]: And all of you roll a perception or investigation check. [SPEAKER_01]: I think it'll be perception for all of you, probably. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: I was gonna say I don't think any of us are right.

39:30 [SPEAKER_00]: Stop that. [SPEAKER_01]: I think we got rid of our smart characters. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, 11. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, 14. [SPEAKER_02]: Also 11. [SPEAKER_02]: Unless I'm just taking a creature within my range. [SPEAKER_01]: Great. [SPEAKER_01]: Wyatt, you're the only one who sees this. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you see the bolts hit.

39:48 [SPEAKER_01]: You see the flame rise up around, boy, [SPEAKER_01]: You see him absorb this flame into his skin and you notice two things. [SPEAKER_01]: One, it deals a lot of damage to him, which is good. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, some of that damage starts to heal, but you see as these flames over charge, boy, almost as if it's a little too much to handle.

40:23 [SPEAKER_00]: Mmm, question. [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, does I have my elemental adept feet fight for fire ignores resistance to fire? [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if that makes any difference to any of that does that does, uh, you don't see him heal up. [SPEAKER_01]: from it. [SPEAKER_01]: Great. [SPEAKER_01]: Nice.

40:42 [SPEAKER_01]: There you go, kid. [SPEAKER_01]: It looks like it powers him up. [SPEAKER_01]: However, it looks like it powers him up too much. [SPEAKER_01]: Like he loses control for a moment. [SPEAKER_01]: For a moment, the fire spirals around him and then he's able to pull it back under his control.

40:58 [SPEAKER_01]: Solomon, is your turn. [SPEAKER_05]: All right, I have to add a turning combat yet that feels like I have because I've done a lot of shit. [SPEAKER_05]: How far away is, you know, as the crow flies, if the glass wasn't between us, how far away is dervish from us? [SPEAKER_01]: He walked his full 30 feet from where he missed the step outside.

41:21 [SPEAKER_01]: See, he is probably about 45 feet from where you are right now, through the glass. [SPEAKER_05]: Okay, and if we were to walk around, what would that look like? [SPEAKER_01]: That'd be like 55 to 60 feet. [SPEAKER_05]: And then if I were to try to break through the glass and jump out toward Dervish, could I get there faster, even if I took some falling damage?

41:43 [SPEAKER_01]: I think I will make the compromise with you. [SPEAKER_01]: You can get closer to take more damage. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: In fact, I'll give you enough fletix check to see how far you go. [SPEAKER_01]: The longer you go, the more damage you'll take, the closer you'll be to dock.

41:58 [SPEAKER_05]: Great. [SPEAKER_05]: All right, sure. [SPEAKER_05]: Ms. Bartel, if we go out that way is going to take a minute for us to get down to him. [SPEAKER_05]: Are you all right if I try to shoot through this glass shoot him and then we jump out? [SPEAKER_01]: She looks at you. [SPEAKER_01]: And says, I...

42:14 [SPEAKER_05]: They're trying to kill Wyatt in front of us. [SPEAKER_01]: I will follow your lead. [SPEAKER_05]: Is it stupid? [SPEAKER_05]: She's... Look, alright, I'm sorry, this might be stupid. [SPEAKER_05]: We can break through the glass and I can shoot at him, but that's the only thing I can do from here.

42:27 [SPEAKER_05]: Otherwise, we're going to have to go back through Mary Jane. [SPEAKER_01]: She says, do what you do. [SPEAKER_05]: Ooh. [SPEAKER_01]: If you're going to kill people, do it. [SPEAKER_01]: And don't fucking second guess yourself. [SPEAKER_01]: Miss Bartel, I do what you're going to do. [SPEAKER_01]: Do it well.

42:45 [SPEAKER_01]: Do it right. [SPEAKER_01]: Do it no matter what other people tell you. [SPEAKER_01]: no matter what I tell you. [SPEAKER_05]: So I only pulls up short a little bit at being checked like this by Belinda. [SPEAKER_05]: And I do think it's enough to kind of snap her out of this self-destructive rage for a second.

43:03 [SPEAKER_05]: And it both takes her back because I think she hasn't been told to trust herself very much in her adult life. [SPEAKER_05]: And also feels a bit sick at the realization that she might be [SPEAKER_05]: being scary to Blander right now, and she says, shit, you're right. [SPEAKER_06]: If we shoot through the glass, there's no guarantee we get nervous at the same time.

43:30 [SPEAKER_05]: The safe thing and the sure thing is just to go around. [SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to get ready to hit Mary Jane if she tries to go for you, okay? [SPEAKER_01]: Stop talking to me and go. [SPEAKER_05]: All right, run. [SPEAKER_05]: Uh, I think we run out and I'm going to prepare an action [SPEAKER_01]: you come out and she uses her up she uses her attack of opportunity to hit you.

43:53 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, of course she does and she misses great then we keep running you you you here a knife was past your year track and trader [SPEAKER_05]: And the two, I will take a dash action to get to Dervish. [SPEAKER_05]: If he's 50, 60 feet away from me, I'll take a dash action to get to him. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

44:12 [SPEAKER_05]: I put down the gun. [SPEAKER_05]: I pick up the sword and say, don't you think you're getting away that easy, Darlin? [SPEAKER_01]: He turns around and smiles as you approach anything else. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I'm getting, no, I'm getting. [SPEAKER_01]: Great. [SPEAKER_01]: Boyd, on his turn, he is going to draw more power from the flame.

44:31 [SPEAKER_01]: As he does flaming meteors begin to descend from the sky, I need all of you. [SPEAKER_01]: Why at your safe because you're inside the maze? [SPEAKER_01]: Everyone else needs to make deck saving throws. [SPEAKER_03]: All ready. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: That includes the villains.

44:55 [SPEAKER_01]: It does include some of the villains. [SPEAKER_01]: 18. [SPEAKER_02]: 21. [SPEAKER_01]: 21 saves. [SPEAKER_02]: God. [SPEAKER_01]: 18 doesn't save. [SPEAKER_01]: We're in the big leagues. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we're in doubt. [SPEAKER_01]: On a failure, you're going to take 15 points of fire damage as it rains from the sky.

45:13 [SPEAKER_01]: On a success, you take half so seven. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: With Solomon, you see a chunk of meteor come down and hit both you and Doc. [SPEAKER_01]: Just knocking you both back a little bit. [SPEAKER_05]: Got you, too, huh? [SPEAKER_01]: He growls in over a shoulder. [SPEAKER_01]: He says, be careful.

45:33 [SPEAKER_05]: I don't think he can hear you, dear heart. [SPEAKER_01]: Boyd is totally like wrapped in a flame cocoon. [SPEAKER_01]: At this point, his eyes are beginning to glow red. [SPEAKER_01]: And that is Boyd's turn. [SPEAKER_01]: Next in the order is Belinda. [SPEAKER_01]: Belinda is going to bonus action dash.

45:52 [SPEAKER_04]: Hell yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: To make it too dark, and then she's going to attack. [SPEAKER_01]: And she slashes him again to pretty big hits. [SPEAKER_01]: And Belinda is in the fight again. [SPEAKER_01]: All right. [SPEAKER_01]: Next, you hear from behind you, Solome. [SPEAKER_01]: What is your fucking problem with me?

46:17 [SPEAKER_05]: What is it, darling? [SPEAKER_01]: Why do you keep killing my meal tickets? [SPEAKER_01]: It's not enough you kill your own. [SPEAKER_01]: You got to kill mine too. [SPEAKER_01]: The fuck is your problem? [SPEAKER_01]: God, you're so centered. [SPEAKER_01]: You really think this old thing is about you.

46:30 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think it's about me. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay. [SPEAKER_01]: It's another thing's about me. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, dear heart. [SPEAKER_05]: Well, hey, listen, if you wanted to be about you so bad, then why don't you come on over here? [SPEAKER_01]: She snarles her hair is like... [SPEAKER_01]: Her perfect hair is messed up.

46:45 [SPEAKER_01]: Now her dress is a little discheveled. [SPEAKER_01]: And she says, you know how much work it takes to beat Honey Bunny Grinshaw? [SPEAKER_05]: Ha ha ha ha ha. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, well, darling. [SPEAKER_05]: Some of that works where and off you look a bit of mess. [SPEAKER_05]: Maybe if you were a little less ugly on the inside, the outside would be easier to match.

47:05 [SPEAKER_01]: She flings her dagger at you. [SPEAKER_01]: Good. [SPEAKER_01]: It. [SPEAKER_01]: stabs into you and you are going to take 7 points of piercing damage 7 points of poison damage. [SPEAKER_05]: All right. [SPEAKER_01]: By the way, she throws the knife at you. [SPEAKER_01]: It smacks into you and then you see her takeoff her heels and run away.

47:33 [SPEAKER_01]: Come back, Howard. [SPEAKER_01]: She says, no, I got to do my makeup [SPEAKER_01]: Get you on the flip side. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you're gonna have a meal ticket to do it for here in a minute. [SPEAKER_01]: We'll see. [SPEAKER_01]: She's gonna bonus action dash to run away. [SPEAKER_01]: Hayden, your turn.

47:51 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: The Wrath is invisible, you are poisoned. [SPEAKER_02]: How was the Wrath looking before disappearing? [SPEAKER_01]: Wrath looks like they do this for a living. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: How far away is the next flame? [SPEAKER_01]: 55 feet. [SPEAKER_02]: holding the lucky shot in their hands, raised up, thinking about where the rath just was, embracing the fire.

48:19 [SPEAKER_02]: There you go. [SPEAKER_02]: Be smart, Hayden. [SPEAKER_02]: Be smart. [SPEAKER_02]: Don't try to do things on your own. [SPEAKER_02]: Everybody's telling you that. [SPEAKER_02]: You're not a hunter. [SPEAKER_02]: You don't have to be. [SPEAKER_01]: move the other 20 and cast produce flame that's a can trip it's a can trip and I find it at the flame oh let's go looking you go here you learned something today yeah yeah that's called growth baby oh you do you [SPEAKER_01]: Ignite the flame.

49:03 [SPEAKER_01]: It farts up and this flame is good. [SPEAKER_01]: It is burning bright. [SPEAKER_02]: That's 19 fire damage 19 fire damage. [SPEAKER_01]: Why it inside the arena? [SPEAKER_01]: You are not only at full health. [SPEAKER_01]: You get another 50-10 HP. [SPEAKER_01]: 50? [SPEAKER_01]: Hmm. [SPEAKER_01]: Find a zero.

49:30 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, don't ask me. [SPEAKER_01]: See you, Row. [SPEAKER_05]: I got you a little gift. [SPEAKER_05]: Well, everyone's having such a good time with their character growth, and I'm regressing. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, we'll go have time. [SPEAKER_05]: That's fine. [SPEAKER_01]: We'll talk about it.

49:45 [SPEAKER_01]: Great. [SPEAKER_01]: Why you're doing well. [SPEAKER_01]: Hayden, anything else you do on your turn. [SPEAKER_02]: That's expending everything I got. [SPEAKER_01]: Great. [SPEAKER_01]: the other beacon still burns weakly. [SPEAKER_01]: Mordrick is doing his best at his, and you look and watch a fresh wound open along his shoulder.

50:13 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh no. [SPEAKER_01]: As the rath switches targets, Mordrick takes these hits like a brick wall. [SPEAKER_01]: Yes. [SPEAKER_01]: He does not flinch and you know these attacks hurt. [SPEAKER_01]: He is going to do his damnedest. [SPEAKER_01]: He will die here if he needs to. [SPEAKER_01]: Solome.

50:35 [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: It is the docks turn. [SPEAKER_05]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_01]: You're both in his business. [SPEAKER_05]: I would say that we're probably smart enough fighters to go up to a mage on opposite sides of him, so that if he casts some kind of cone or some shit, it only hits one of us.

50:50 [SPEAKER_05]: No, that makes sense. [SPEAKER_01]: Dock? [SPEAKER_01]: Smiles that you. [SPEAKER_01]: Solome. [UNKNOWN]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_05]: You know her? [SPEAKER_05]: Never met her. [SPEAKER_05]: I think she works here, I couldn't give two shits about her. [SPEAKER_01]: You smiles and says, then you won't mind if I do this.

51:06 [SPEAKER_01]: And he turns around a cast cone of cold on Belinda. [SPEAKER_01]: Shit. [SPEAKER_05]: Oh no. [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, it's a cond save too. [SPEAKER_05]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, but she gets a plus five to the cond save, because uh, she's within 10 feet of me. [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, she succeeds.

51:18 [SPEAKER_05]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: And takes a lot of damage. [SPEAKER_05]: How much? [SPEAKER_01]: 48 ha is a 24 cold damage I use my ore of the guardian to take it instead Hmm, okay. [SPEAKER_05]: Are you sure? [SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, you take a 24 cold damage as a cone of cold It's Belinda refracts and hits you somehow No, I don't think I will mind if you do that [SPEAKER_01]: He... snorles.

51:54 [SPEAKER_01]: Ahhhhhhhhhh. [SPEAKER_01]: And then... Misty steps. [SPEAKER_01]: Again. [SPEAKER_01]: Shit. [SPEAKER_01]: Up to the... top of the stands. [SPEAKER_05]: God, it's damn it. [SPEAKER_05]: Go, we can't keep doing this. [SPEAKER_05]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: Why it? [SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_01]: The maze is not shifting any more.

52:13 [SPEAKER_01]: As if someone who is supposed to be shifting the maze is being distracted. [SPEAKER_01]: and you feel that you're coming close to the end of the maze. [SPEAKER_01]: Like one or two more turns and you'll be out of here. [SPEAKER_01]: Through your glances upward occasionally, you see that the flame has surrounded, void is like a cocoon now, as if whatever inside is changing.

52:42 [SPEAKER_01]: You think you might have the health to take on void. [SPEAKER_01]: But you think you might need a little boost in damage before you take him on, as if there is one last thing to be done. [SPEAKER_01]: You round a corner, and there is the exit to the maze, and stumbling out between you and [SPEAKER_01]: a bug, man.

53:15 [SPEAKER_01]: It is a large, two-legged creature, two claws. [SPEAKER_01]: It stumbles forward and then looks over at you. [SPEAKER_01]: Why it? [SPEAKER_01]: And I need you to make a charisma saving throw. [SPEAKER_02]: Is this one of the giant bugs that Final Minimensioned? [SPEAKER_02]: Holy shit, the bug people from the mind!

53:40 [SPEAKER_02]: The bug people! [SPEAKER_05]: Everybody's run the minds and showin' up, it's mind-reviewed. [SPEAKER_05]: It's a time. [SPEAKER_05]: It's a time. [SPEAKER_05]: It's a time. [SPEAKER_05]: Where is Ragtag when you need him? [SPEAKER_00]: That's on 11 and then if an 11 fails, that's a 12. [SPEAKER_00]: Both fail.

54:00 [SPEAKER_04]: Damn. [SPEAKER_01]: And I need you to roll a D8. [SPEAKER_01]: you look and this bugman looks at you and as it does echoes of a voice you never heard personally go through your mind of bug people that can confuse you with their [SPEAKER_01]: and the bugman begins to bear down on you. [SPEAKER_00]: I will say that the lion goes right after me.

54:44 [SPEAKER_01]: The lion needs to make a charisma save if it's looking at the bug. [SPEAKER_02]: It's a lion. [SPEAKER_02]: It's gotta be charismatic. [SPEAKER_02]: 15. [SPEAKER_01]: The lion resists. [SPEAKER_01]: Yes! [SPEAKER_01]: Yes! [SPEAKER_00]: What does it do? [SPEAKER_00]: It runs up to this bug and takes three swipes.

55:07 [SPEAKER_00]: It actually goes swipes, swipes, bites. [SPEAKER_00]: Hell yeah, roll damage. [SPEAKER_00]: So because I cast Summon's Lestieel at a six level as opposed to the base fifth, I do get three attacks. [SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm. [UNKNOWN]: Okay. [SPEAKER_00]: which gets a plus nine to hit and on each hit because these are melee attacks.

55:29 [SPEAKER_00]: I get your thing. [SPEAKER_00]: The D10. [SPEAKER_00]: Correct. [SPEAKER_00]: Yep. [SPEAKER_00]: So we're starting this. [SPEAKER_00]: It starts at 1. [SPEAKER_00]: D10 plus 3 plus 6 on each hit. [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. [SPEAKER_00]: And the celestial can choose itself or another creature it can see within 10 feet of the target.

55:49 [SPEAKER_00]: The chosen creature gets 1-D-10, 10-pip points. [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously not choosing why it because why it has 50-10-pip points. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: So I will choose the lion and three. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah? [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: Keep track of that. [SPEAKER_00]: Here are my three attack rolls.

56:04 [SPEAKER_00]: Go ahead. [SPEAKER_00]: 23, 25, 27. [SPEAKER_04]: Hell yeah, why it's a small guy. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah dude. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah dude. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah dude. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. [SPEAKER_00]: So 48 plus 27 is 675. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

56:26 [UNKNOWN]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Hell yeah, get after it kid it as the avatar of the flame lion leaps at this bug person The lion begins ripping this thing up it [SPEAKER_01]: it screams and then tunnels away, it goes straight down, tunnels into the maze fully fleeing does not want to mess with it with whatever you've got going on.

57:00 [SPEAKER_00]: And then to just put that cherry on top, now I get 7-10 pin points for the line. [SPEAKER_00]: Great. [SPEAKER_01]: You give Tempett points to the lion, and the lion's look a pretty good. [SPEAKER_01]: And as the bug person tunnels away, you feel your confusion dissipating. [SPEAKER_01]: Do you rush forward out of the maze?

57:23 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, why it comes to have you see this, his lion eviscerate this bug person thing, [SPEAKER_00]: and just goes out and starts flying towards the cocoon. [SPEAKER_04]: Wow, why is it coming on, maybe? [SPEAKER_01]: You emerge from the tunnels, wings, launch out from your lion, leap you into the air and you begin flying towards what is now a vortex.

57:55 [SPEAKER_01]: It's not just a cocoon, it is a full on typhoon. [SPEAKER_01]: Wow, flame in the middle of this arena. [SPEAKER_01]: Salma. [SPEAKER_05]: Yes. [SPEAKER_01]: Doc is 30 feet from you, up the stands. [SPEAKER_05]: Well, something actually just occurred to me, Casey, which is that Misty step is a leveled spell and so is cone of cold, so he could not have Misty step after he cast cone of cold.

58:20 [SPEAKER_05]: So I think doc is actually right here. [SPEAKER_05]: Ha ha ha. [SPEAKER_05]: Um, teacher. [SPEAKER_05]: Teacher, I think doc is actually with in soar distance for me. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: I think he might actually be.

58:34 [SPEAKER_01]: Great. [SPEAKER_05]: So it's all my first looks at Blending Goes. [SPEAKER_05]: You're right. [SPEAKER_01]: She says, I didn't take anything. [SPEAKER_05]: Good. [SPEAKER_05]: That's new. [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know how to make it work every time. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_05]: You good?

58:45 [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_05]: I'm great. [SPEAKER_05]: And then I will use... [SPEAKER_05]: I will cast Rathful Smite. [SPEAKER_05]: Which I don't think I've gotten to use before. [SPEAKER_05]: Why doesn't Dr. Vish Rollo wisdom save for me? [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay, why doesn't he? [SPEAKER_05]: I'll bet he's probably good at this, but we'll see.

59:02 [SPEAKER_01]: That is a 22 to save. [SPEAKER_05]: Shit, God damn it, I'm gonna stop doing wisdom saves with this fella. [SPEAKER_01]: He's not bad with wisdom. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: It's not his best step, but it's not his worst. [SPEAKER_05]: Great, then I'm just gonna attack. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

59:14 [SPEAKER_05]: Give it simple. [SPEAKER_05]: I think it's all of my draws are soared and Briar starts to come out, but they look like almost dead and like almost like they're like a lead color. [SPEAKER_05]: Like they've been mixed somehow with like on powder. [SPEAKER_05]: Like they're just kind of this weird dead gray Briar's coming out of her sword.

59:30 [SPEAKER_05]: She starts to attack. [SPEAKER_01]: Ooh, okay. [SPEAKER_05]: First attack is a 23 to hit. [SPEAKER_01]: Yep. [SPEAKER_01]: next one is only a 17 to hit that just hits yeah all right just hits some huh I'm gonna do two second levels mates go to town seventy four damage hell yeah oh that that rocks the dock yeah baby he's still standing but he is hurting [SPEAKER_05]: Great.

1:00:07 [SPEAKER_05]: I think what happens is that these now like iron-ish almost briars that are almost like resemble the shade and tone of like a bullet. [SPEAKER_05]: Start, they almost look like anorganic. [SPEAKER_05]: Okay. [SPEAKER_05]: Wrap around his arm, pull him a little bit toward me, and then start trying to find a vein.

1:00:27 [SPEAKER_05]: And I think when they do, they start to crawl up one of the veins on his arm, going toward his heart. [UNKNOWN]: Ugh. [SPEAKER_05]: God, you just do this because you love it, right, Doc? [SPEAKER_01]: He, he smiles through the pain and says, I do. [SPEAKER_05]: Let's see how much you keep loving it.

1:00:50 [SPEAKER_01]: Ah, at the top of the order. [SPEAKER_01]: why you are on the back of this winged lion. [SPEAKER_01]: It's face as bright as the sun. [SPEAKER_01]: You are flying in the air towards this massive swirling tornado cocoon of flame that houses void. [SPEAKER_01]: And as you approach it, you hear from inside it.

1:01:25 [SPEAKER_01]: You want to play games? [SPEAKER_01]: Boy? [SPEAKER_01]: Come on. [SPEAKER_01]: I'll show you what power really looks like. [SPEAKER_01]: And as you fly towards it, the tornado begins to dissipate. [SPEAKER_01]: And as it does, you see a massive scratch that gargantuan leg. [SPEAKER_01]: emerge from the front of the tornado fully formed a fire it smashes into the ground followed by a hand gripping the side of the arena and then another one and then pulling [SPEAKER_01]: His entire body now is formed of this flame.

1:02:27 [SPEAKER_01]: His eyes burn brighter than the sun. [SPEAKER_01]: And he says, I'm gonna fucking kill you kid. [SPEAKER_01]: And that is where we'll pick up next time.
