[SPEAKER_01]: Hello, and welcome back to another episode of Mage Hand High Five. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm your dungeon master, Casey Pappas, and with me ranked least to most likely to grow a mallet. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I have a place I want to be honest with. [SPEAKER_04]: Me too, I don't think it's the same spot.
[SPEAKER_01]: But what is way, way, way, way, way, way. [SPEAKER_01]: First is the least least least least. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: First and least. [SPEAKER_01]: Max Weinberg. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, hello. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm Max playing white for a site. [SPEAKER_03]: And I think this might be wrong because I really want to be in rock of ages.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I would grow my hair for that. [SPEAKER_03]: You know, I would do it. [SPEAKER_03]: Max would do a show mallet. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: I would do a show mallet any day. [SPEAKER_03]: Wow. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: I got that wrong. [SPEAKER_01]: All right. [SPEAKER_03]: All right for my personal list.
[SPEAKER_03]: No chance. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay. [SPEAKER_00]: There we go. [SPEAKER_01]: All right. [SPEAKER_01]: Now we're big. [SPEAKER_01]: Next, Robin Lengenhop. [SPEAKER_00]: Hi. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm Robin Lengenhop playing Hingonkade and I don't think I would intentionally [SPEAKER_00]: have a mallet at any point.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have a fear that at some point I will have a hairstyle and some will be like, you sure there's not a mallet and then I will die inside a little bit, but it's not something I'm going for. [SPEAKER_04]: No intentional mallets again. [SPEAKER_00]: No intentional mallets. [SPEAKER_03]: All right, all right.
[SPEAKER_03]: You could go for a business in the back party and the front kind of look. [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's basically my hair now. [SPEAKER_04]: That's true, actually. [SPEAKER_04]: That is kind of what you're doing right now. [SPEAKER_04]: I got like a lot undercut. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: The broccoli cut. [SPEAKER_03]: The broccoli cut. [SPEAKER_03]: Get out of here. [SPEAKER_03]: That's apparently what all the kids are getting. [SPEAKER_00]: Don't make it so conscious. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm so conscious. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm a fierce Brock ally. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I'm real. [SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to say play and solve my briar and it is good at the top.
[SPEAKER_04]: The only question that I have is whether it would be like a gay mallet or a redneck mallet because I do think I'm suitable for both a little bit of both yeah, yeah, okay. [SPEAKER_04]: It's the gay redneck mallet. [SPEAKER_04]: I'll do it. [SPEAKER_04]: I'll do it. [SPEAKER_01]: All right.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I [SPEAKER_01]: That's the best of both worlds because no matter where you go, you fit right in. [SPEAKER_00]: That's so true, actually. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Works great. [SPEAKER_04]: I, I can go with everybody's like one of us. [SPEAKER_04]: I come back to New York.
[SPEAKER_04]: Everyone's like one of us. [SPEAKER_04]: It's been. [SPEAKER_01]: Jesus. [SPEAKER_04]: Damn. [SPEAKER_04]: Why don't I have a bullet? [SPEAKER_01]: And with that, let's dive, ready. [SPEAKER_01]: Last time on May 10, high five. [SPEAKER_01]: You fought boy who had amassed the flames power to become a god himself.
[SPEAKER_01]: Why it, using a flying lion incarnation of the flame, you took him on directly, using fire attacks to destabilize him. [SPEAKER_01]: Solomon Bolinda fought Doc Dervish, who was attempting to prevent why it from reaching boy, with Solomon dispatching him. [SPEAKER_01]: Hayden boosted Wyatt's attack and defense through igniting beacons, taking on the rath in the process.
[SPEAKER_01]: And in the ensuing battle, the rath was revealed to be one of the lost changelings fell, though significantly less friendly than the other fate spun players. [SPEAKER_01]: And when we last left off, Hayden now down failed a second death save, with void preparing to strike Wyatt. [SPEAKER_01]: Where you are, now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Solome, you and Belinda are currently dashing across the arena to try to get to Hayden and time. [SPEAKER_01]: Hayden, the world is spinning around you as you lay on the edge of the arena. [SPEAKER_01]: And why it? [SPEAKER_01]: You are still riding on the back of the flame lion as Boyd's colossal fist rears back to crash into you.
[SPEAKER_03]: God does he have four attacks this turn? [SPEAKER_01]: Yes. [SPEAKER_01]: First one fails. [SPEAKER_04]: Reminder that why it's got an extra plus two to AC from Shield of Faith. [SPEAKER_01]: Who? [SPEAKER_01]: Second one misses. [SPEAKER_03]: Whoah. [SPEAKER_01]: Third one misses. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah baby. [SPEAKER_01]: and as he swings back his fourth punch, it has been a boom, boom, boom, boom. [SPEAKER_01]: He has been furiously slamming his fists into the ground, and each time he has missed you, he draws back the fourth one and brings it down. [SPEAKER_01]: Passed you. [SPEAKER_01]: He misses you again.
[SPEAKER_01]: Four misses in our row. [SPEAKER_01]: And you hear a voice in your ear that says, I have you. [SPEAKER_03]: Why? [SPEAKER_03]: Thanks, Lion. [SPEAKER_03]: I have you, too. [SPEAKER_01]: And on Belinda's turn. [SPEAKER_01]: Belinda uses her bonus action to dash. [SPEAKER_01]: uses her movement to run the other 30 feet to get to Hayden.
[SPEAKER_01]: She pushes more drick aside and downs a healing potion into your mouth, Hayden. [SPEAKER_01]: Ooh. [SPEAKER_01]: And what kind of healing potion is this? [SPEAKER_03]: Superior. [SPEAKER_01]: Superior. [SPEAKER_01]: AD4 plus 8. [SPEAKER_01]: Hayden, you pop back up with 27 hit points. [SPEAKER_01]: Ooh, yes!
[SPEAKER_04]: Y'all are at Stranger! [SPEAKER_04]: Better than before! [SPEAKER_04]: All right, thank you, Miss Bartle. [SPEAKER_01]: And Belinda tosses the health potion, like the the bottle smashes it on the ground and just looks at more trick. [SPEAKER_01]: Like, you couldn't do that? [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he did looks up at Belinda from the floor because Bessal you ever wrote.
[SPEAKER_01]: She looks at you and goes, I just, I don't get you, kid, and Hayden, it is your turn. [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, um, how can I help here? [SPEAKER_00]: It's from the beacons we're about to go out. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's true. [SPEAKER_01]: The beacon behind you has gone out. [SPEAKER_00]: All right, then I will, I will use, I will stand up with half my movement.
[SPEAKER_00]: Run the other 15 feet. [SPEAKER_00]: Disappear in a puff of sparkles, misty step, another 30 feet. [SPEAKER_00]: And then cast produce flame and toss it at the beacon. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, the firecalf is so helpful right now. [SPEAKER_01]: Great. [SPEAKER_01]: That's so good. [SPEAKER_01]: That beacon lights and boys' damage output goes down.
[SPEAKER_00]: Nice. [SPEAKER_00]: Ooh. [SPEAKER_00]: Why, it's all up to you. [SPEAKER_00]: You got it. [SPEAKER_00]: You got this. [SPEAKER_00]: Haven? [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: You're all here, kid. [SPEAKER_00]: I was nearly dead for a whole minute there. [SPEAKER_00]: You got it. [SPEAKER_00]: Just do your thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: What? [SPEAKER_00]: You nearly. [SPEAKER_00]: What has been happening? [SPEAKER_00]: You're focused on other stuff. [SPEAKER_04]: You got this. [SPEAKER_04]: Come on. [SPEAKER_04]: We're all rooting for you. [SPEAKER_01]: Great. [SPEAKER_01]: Next in the order is more trick. [SPEAKER_01]: More trick.
[SPEAKER_01]: Holds out his hands and goes. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: Well, that was what I was going to do. [SPEAKER_01]: And my flame sword is back at the other found. [SPEAKER_01]: I guess I'm just okay, and he dashes back to his sword. [SPEAKER_01]: Grab hold of it, and Wyatt, you gain 10 hit points.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, sick. [SPEAKER_01]: Next is you Wyatt. [SPEAKER_01]: Great. [SPEAKER_03]: I will start my turn by combing the lion's mane to give it my last gift-fig gift of spite to give it the help action, as a bonus action, and then house big boy looking. [SPEAKER_01]: Whatever the sort of fire equivalent of bloodied is, you see that there are rockets of flame shooting out of his body.
[SPEAKER_01]: He staggers a little bit. [SPEAKER_01]: He looks a little unstable. [SPEAKER_01]: Both physically and emotionally. [SPEAKER_03]: Do I still have the plus 3D10 to my stuff? [SPEAKER_03]: Or did that go away? [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, that has gone out this turn. [SPEAKER_03]: So then just question for the lion, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Does that just go subtract the 3D 10 from what it was at? [SPEAKER_01]: Hmm. [SPEAKER_03]: Or does it stay super boosted? [SPEAKER_01]: It stays super boosted, but if the streak resets it goes back to zero. [SPEAKER_03]: Great. [SPEAKER_03]: But I'm running out of spells, everybody. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, from the lion's mouth and my two hands, I'm gonna cast scorching ray at a second level to blast it with three rays.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, do it up. [SPEAKER_03]: 18, 18, 23, the 23 hits. [SPEAKER_03]: It's gonna be 13 fire damage and then as that one blast hits, the recoil from it causes them to look away as the flame lion comes in to come and give them two big paws across the face. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, baby. [SPEAKER_03]: God, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: First is a 25. [SPEAKER_03]: Yep. [SPEAKER_03]: and 26, both hit, so that's gonna be 13, D10 plus 16. [SPEAKER_03]: Why can't this lie in this? [SPEAKER_03]: The lie in goes back and just like, comets across his face for 86 damage. [SPEAKER_03]: Whoa. [SPEAKER_04]: Damn. [SPEAKER_01]: He like, oh, that clocks him.
[SPEAKER_01]: You see his arm sort of launch out for a second and then come back in like he's he's he's starting to fall apart Yeah, uh, Solomon is your turn. [SPEAKER_04]: Why honey? [SPEAKER_04]: How you feeling? [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I've been better but I'm not too bad, but he does hit really hard.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right, let's see what I can do Right, why it does have shield of faith [SPEAKER_04]: Mm-hmm, and I don't know that I totally want to mess with that. [SPEAKER_04]: What, Darlin would you rather would you have to keep that little shield or have me try something to make him be real still?
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not gonna lie, baby. [SPEAKER_03]: Keep the shieldy. [SPEAKER_03]: It's really hard. [SPEAKER_04]: I got you. [SPEAKER_04]: I got you. [SPEAKER_04]: I got you. [SPEAKER_04]: Don't worry. [SPEAKER_04]: It's really hard. [SPEAKER_04]: Alright, dear. [SPEAKER_04]: It's okay. [SPEAKER_00]: Keep that intuition, buddy.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's that's doing real well. [SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to tell you this, okay? [SPEAKER_04]: Get a little bit closer to me as I'm running toward Wyatt. [SPEAKER_04]: I'll be like, I can't get all the way to you, but meet me in the middle a little bit and then you can also have these kind of oras.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, I miss all the way. [SPEAKER_04]: Saveline, I told you I haven't ora. [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, and I, here. [SPEAKER_04]: run to be at the closest I can get to Wyatt is 15 feet away and I'm just gonna try to draw some of Boyd's fire by opening up that is his revolver on him and just shooting in three times.
[SPEAKER_01]: Cool. [SPEAKER_01]: Go to town. [SPEAKER_04]: That's what he is. [SPEAKER_02]: Wow. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, the Nat 20 hits. [SPEAKER_04]: Great. [SPEAKER_01]: The other two miss. [SPEAKER_04]: No, I don't know. [SPEAKER_04]: All right, well, it's basically like two hits. [SPEAKER_04]: So that's fun.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh wait, is the extra D10 from this place doubled on a Nat 20? [SPEAKER_04]: Ooh. [SPEAKER_01]: I think he said it was, I think we were earlier. [SPEAKER_01]: I think unfortunately, I established, yes. [SPEAKER_04]: Okay, so it's 4D10, then. [SPEAKER_04]: 4010, yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: 36 damage.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I wrote a really high on damage. [SPEAKER_04]: So yes, all of it just takes out the revolver shoots and somehow misses this brick wall of a individual twice But I Over here, why don't you pick on somebody a little closer to your own sauce, but still not that big [SPEAKER_00]: I saw him at his quiet notch.
[SPEAKER_04]: We are not anyone near his house. [SPEAKER_04]: I know, but I like to dream. [SPEAKER_01]: Hmm, okay. [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe one day. [SPEAKER_04]: Are you still growing Miss Solomon? [SPEAKER_04]: Well, depends on the shoes, dear heart. [SPEAKER_01]: No, okay. [SPEAKER_01]: You say this, and Boyd's attention.
[SPEAKER_01]: Ooh, like his fiery gaze turns to you. [SPEAKER_01]: His body is starting to collapse a little bit. [SPEAKER_01]: It is, it looks really unstable. [SPEAKER_04]: All right. [SPEAKER_01]: But he is still, he's still moving. [SPEAKER_04]: I'm gonna use my bonus action, and I know it's gonna fizzle immediately when Wyatt attacks, but it's useful because it's Boyd's turn's next.
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I'm gonna use my last spell slot, so do well, to cast sanctuary on Wyatt. [SPEAKER_01]: Ooh. [SPEAKER_04]: And that means until the spell ends, any creature who targets him with an attack or harmful spell, has to make a wisdom save on a failed save. [SPEAKER_04]: They have to choose a new target or lose the attack.
[SPEAKER_01]: Awesome. [SPEAKER_01]: Top of the round. [SPEAKER_01]: I need everyone to make deck saves as cracks begin to spew all over the ground, launching debris so high into the air that even why it you aren't safe. [SPEAKER_01]: Do I or does my lion or both? [SPEAKER_03]: Both. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: 18 for Hayden. [SPEAKER_04]: As a 10 for Solomy. [SPEAKER_04]: Ooh. [SPEAKER_03]: That's a dirty 24-wire it. [SPEAKER_04]: Okay. [SPEAKER_03]: And a 19 for the lion. [SPEAKER_03]: Nice. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: So, Hayden, Wyatt, and Wyatt's lion save. [SPEAKER_01]: And like I said that, Solmae, Belinda, and Mordric all fail.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh shit, okay. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh geez. [SPEAKER_01]: So, for everyone who succeeded, you will take eight damage for everyone who failed, you'll take 16. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, okay. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, he's barely still up. [SPEAKER_01]: As... Oh, this is fire? [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, yeah, so why you are a little resistant to this?
[SPEAKER_03]: I gotta do a concentration, say, for my lion. [SPEAKER_04]: My concept passed, by the way. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh nice. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I've had 13 HP, but it's Jill. [SPEAKER_04]: Are Belinda and Mordric still up? [SPEAKER_01]: Yes. [SPEAKER_01]: They're both still up. [SPEAKER_01]: Belinda's barely hanging in there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Mordric is not bad, actually. [SPEAKER_03]: How many of my allies... [SPEAKER_03]: This is really important, Casey. [SPEAKER_03]: How many allies can I see? [SPEAKER_03]: Can you see? [SPEAKER_03]: I've got a pretty good vantage point. [SPEAKER_01]: One, two, three, four, five. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, great.
[SPEAKER_03]: Then I'm gonna use my fortune of the many ability to give me a plus three to my save, to hold on to my line. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no! [SPEAKER_00]: No, please! [SPEAKER_01]: I rolled the six. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, thank you, okay. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to mess up in front of my friends, they need me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hi, you're doing great. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you got this. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, it is Boyd's turn. [SPEAKER_01]: Boyd, I believe is up to, is it five or six attacks? [SPEAKER_01]: I believe he's up to five. [SPEAKER_01]: Who are you attacking? [SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna say, why it three times and then Solomon Hayden once.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, why it does still have sanctuary on him? [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, can you make a whizz save for each time you're attacking why? [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: We did this a lot before you all showed up. [SPEAKER_01]: I know. [SPEAKER_01]: We did this a lot. [SPEAKER_01]: He found a lot.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I feel like wisdom is not his strong suit. [SPEAKER_01]: Boy, you hear from within that the sort of flame cloud that is boy. [SPEAKER_01]: He goes, oh, this shit again. [SPEAKER_03]: I want to know how this bad-a-fest that gets that reaction, because that means that he like goes to punch and gets like a message into his head that's like, please pass this stage.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it makes it tough to punch the person, like you feel so feel bad. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like like you start to like if you fail the wisdom save your vision starts to blur And it's really hard to hit them. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, so Okay, so just this time you get to hit someone else and set a me But because there was no one else last time Okay, just went away.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm just I'm just clarifying for Casey because he just couldn't attack me. [SPEAKER_01]: That's true So he failed the first wisdom succeeded the second one [SPEAKER_01]: and failed the third. [SPEAKER_01]: So two of those attacks are going to hit Solma instead. [SPEAKER_04]: Great, so it's three for me, one for why it won't for Aiden.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, okay. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so let's see how those go. [SPEAKER_01]: Why it's first? [SPEAKER_01]: Doesn't matter when you roll a three. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Solma, that's gonna be a 19 to hit. [SPEAKER_01]: That'll hit. [SPEAKER_01]: Another 19 to hit. [SPEAKER_01]: That'll hit.
[SPEAKER_01]: And a 20, and a natural 20 to hit. [SPEAKER_04]: That'll hit and roll them one at a time [SPEAKER_04]: Ooh, okay, so that is going to be six points of fire damage on the first hit, okay, I'm still up, okay, okay, great, 10 points on the second hit, I'm down, and 10 points on the third hit, okay, which I think is too deathsive fails in my credit about that, yes, all right, so Solomon drops after the second attack, [SPEAKER_01]: he swings on Wyatt and misses and then says fine let's see how your friends do and then throw three consecutive punches at Solamae just all three of them connect and after the [SPEAKER_04]: Wyatt, you're shield of faith drops as well.
[SPEAKER_04]: So the Briars around you kind of fizzle. [SPEAKER_04]: So am I. [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, and that is two Detsay fails for me. [UNKNOWN]: Whew. [SPEAKER_01]: And then he turns and rolls a 21 on Hayden. [SPEAKER_00]: That'll hit. [SPEAKER_00]: Don't hit me, that's why I need to help so am I. [SPEAKER_01]: That is going to be 12 points of fire damage as a, as another fist slams down on Hayden.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I'm still up, but almost everything I regain from coming back from the dead is almost gone. [SPEAKER_01]: Boyd smiles and says, How long you think they're gonna last, boy. [SPEAKER_01]: You may dance around on your little lion, but at the end of the day, if I kill you friends, they stayed dead.
[SPEAKER_03]: My friends will be around for as long as the flame exists, which will be forever. [SPEAKER_01]: He smiles and as he does for a bonus action, you see flames come up from the fount. [SPEAKER_02]: surrounding him and he says, what do you think happens if you kill me? [SPEAKER_02]: You think the power just goes back to your God?
[SPEAKER_02]: Or does he stay weakened? [SPEAKER_03]: All you need to do is feed the flame and it will grow. [SPEAKER_03]: I will feed it with my life. [SPEAKER_02]: You need me, Wyatt. [SPEAKER_02]: You're little flame ain't going to survive if I die. [SPEAKER_02]: Do I know that that's true? [SPEAKER_01]: As Boyd says this, you wonder, is there any way to know this?
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, is this utter bullshit? [SPEAKER_01]: Is this a best guess based on this scenario? [SPEAKER_01]: This is uncharted waters. [SPEAKER_01]: He is stealing power from a god. [SPEAKER_01]: There is no way to know where this power is going to go if he dies. [SPEAKER_01]: So, you don't know whether Boyd will keep it, you don't know whether it'll go back to the flame, but you also think Boyd doesn't know that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: And it is Ballandas turn. [SPEAKER_01]: 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 [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, so there might actually not be anything she can do for her.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, no, Belinda looks at Hayden and says, you got any heels? [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, sure. [SPEAKER_01]: Like a potion. [SPEAKER_00]: If you gave me the one that I was unconscious at the time, if you gave me the, well, let me see. [SPEAKER_00]: Then I'd start running around in my pocket. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yep, here it is.
[SPEAKER_00]: I wasn't sure if you used mine on me or if you used the other, well, but I got one right here. [SPEAKER_01]: She just takes it, she just takes it and says, all right, this is my fucking job, now I'm making sure y'all don't fucking die, and she She's like, fuck off kid, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
[SPEAKER_01]: Runs to you, Solomon. [SPEAKER_01]: So she is going to dash and then dash again. [SPEAKER_01]: And then either for the action or the bonus action, use the potion to restore you. [SPEAKER_04]: Sick. [SPEAKER_01]: That is a 25 healing. [SPEAKER_04]: Ooh, thank you. [SPEAKER_04]: Solomon just wakes up because the same as Bartle, you said you were really fast.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was just checking. [SPEAKER_01]: She looks at you and she says, I can't keep saving you. [SPEAKER_04]: That was a test. [SPEAKER_04]: You passed. [SPEAKER_04]: Good job. [SPEAKER_01]: Hmm. [SPEAKER_01]: That was a test. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_04]: Yep. [SPEAKER_04]: Also really saved me before.
[SPEAKER_04]: You refused to help Hayden with it. [SPEAKER_04]: We'll ask this out later. [SPEAKER_01]: It's Hayden's turn. [SPEAKER_01]: The sixth, the sixth seconds of past. [SPEAKER_00]: I have fair, fair, fair, fair, fair. [SPEAKER_00]: First with my bonus action, I will send wink [SPEAKER_00]: I'm all staying high.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_00]: Then I will run towards them. [SPEAKER_00]: If I run 30 feet, they are 60 feet away from me. [SPEAKER_00]: How far away? [SPEAKER_01]: From there. [SPEAKER_01]: 60 feet away. [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. [SPEAKER_00]: Great. [SPEAKER_00]: In that case, I am going to who looks worse.
[SPEAKER_00]: Solomon is probably doing fine after that potion is bullet. [SPEAKER_00]: How rough is bullet in to look in? [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, bullet is not looking great. [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. [SPEAKER_00]: I think I'm still the worst off of the three of us. [SPEAKER_04]: Probably. [SPEAKER_04]: Okay, help yourself.
[SPEAKER_04]: Cause also you're a healer, so it's better for you to be up than her. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to run as close as I can to the others. [SPEAKER_00]: And then I'm going to cast a third level cure wounds on myself, which will give everybody within 30 feet of wink and extra six hit points, including me.
[SPEAKER_04]: Ooh, wow, thanks Hayden. [SPEAKER_04]: Sure thing, thanks for letting me see the little kitty. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no [SPEAKER_00]: I don't recall using it actually.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't recall using it actually. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't recall using it actually. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't recall using it actually. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't recall using it actually. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't recall using it actually. [SPEAKER_04]: I don't recall using it actually. [SPEAKER_04]: I don't recall using it actually.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't recall using it actually. [SPEAKER_04]: I don't recall using it actually. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't recall using it actually. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't recall using it actually. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't recall using it actually. [SPEAKER_01]: But Linda just looks at you saw me goes, oh, so the trouble's going well, huh?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, well it's done great. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, well, we had to get in there down after Stumplift. [SPEAKER_04]: Now it's just the two of us. [SPEAKER_02]: Hmm. [SPEAKER_00]: I'll get a roll my heels now. [SPEAKER_00]: Alright, I get 22 health and both Bullinda and Solomon get six. [SPEAKER_00]: It's great.
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, well, wake. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I love you. [SPEAKER_01]: Great. [SPEAKER_01]: Anything else Hayden? [SPEAKER_00]: Nope. [UNKNOWN]: Hahaha. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm good. [SPEAKER_01]: Great. [SPEAKER_01]: It is... [SPEAKER_01]: It is Mordrich's turn. [SPEAKER_01]: Mordrich is going to stay where he's at.
[SPEAKER_01]: Reignite the flame. [SPEAKER_01]: Wyatt, you get 10 HP back. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, sick. [SPEAKER_01]: Nice. [SPEAKER_01]: Which actually brings us to Wyatt. [SPEAKER_04]: Damn, glad we didn't let him die in the mines. [UNKNOWN]: Ha ha ha. [SPEAKER_01]: How's he looking? [SPEAKER_01]: Boyd is unstable.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: The problem is you don't know whether, like if you kill him, he might explode. [SPEAKER_01]: Like he's looking molecularly unstable. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so I think this seems like a really fun time to do this because I don't know if Boy just telling the truth or not about what's gonna happen to the flame if there isn't kind of a conduit for it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so I [SPEAKER_03]: want to use divine intervention. [SPEAKER_03]: Ooh, to try to maybe get the actual flame to show up a little bit as the lion defeats it to absorb the rest of his power. [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe just absorb the flame from void before it does anything. [SPEAKER_04]: That's kind of cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: Go be fun. [SPEAKER_03]: Do it. [SPEAKER_04]: And also, if you're not doing damage, you'll still have sexurek as done you. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the flame line's doing it all. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm just praying. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: Sanctuary's not even concentration. [SPEAKER_03]: Is that okay?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah? [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. [SPEAKER_03]: Whew. [SPEAKER_03]: Give it a shot. [SPEAKER_04]: How does divine intervention work? [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, so divine intervention. [SPEAKER_03]: I have to roll a percentile dice, so essentially a D 100. [SPEAKER_03]: And I have to roll equal or less than my level, my cleric level.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I have to roll at 11 or less on this D 100. [SPEAKER_03]: Whew, okay. [SPEAKER_03]: If I get that, [SPEAKER_03]: The flame shows up to do something helpful. [SPEAKER_03]: Show us if there's something helpful. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so I gotta see double zeroes. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I guess I could see double one salsa.
[SPEAKER_04]: Double zeroes is a hundred. [SPEAKER_04]: Fuck. [SPEAKER_04]: No. [SPEAKER_03]: No, 54. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. [SPEAKER_04]: That's okay. [SPEAKER_04]: The flame lives in you and your heart. [SPEAKER_04]: The flame lives in me. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: So I don't love it. [SPEAKER_03]: 54.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: God, bummer, yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Great. [SPEAKER_03]: So how's a bonus action? [SPEAKER_03]: We're having a holy turn. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna use my channel divinity to harness divine power to give me a second level spell slot back. [SPEAKER_03]: Ooh, so I'm gonna absorb a little bit of the fire of the flame power from Boyd as I recover a spell slot.
[SPEAKER_03]: Ooh, so as I channel my divinity hands out at Boyd, the fire kind of comes and coils around Wyatt and invigorates him a little bit giving him a second level spell slot. [SPEAKER_03]: Nice. [SPEAKER_03]: Now, the lion's gonna attack him. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so the lion is going to go and make two swipes and bites at Boyd.
[SPEAKER_03]: Ooh, okay. [SPEAKER_03]: Do it up. [SPEAKER_03]: First one is a Nat 20. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm saying what is the five on the die, but I don't know if that's good a matter because I will have two seven consecutive hits consecutive hits. [SPEAKER_04]: This is so good. [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: So my flame lion is going to roll [SPEAKER_03]: 9-D-10 plus 8. [SPEAKER_04]: That's so good. [SPEAKER_01]: Do it up. [SPEAKER_03]: That is 53 damage. [SPEAKER_02]: Ooh! [SPEAKER_03]: As this lion, malls, big boyd. [SPEAKER_01]: Why it? [SPEAKER_01]: Your lion is ducking and swerving. [SPEAKER_01]: And shh.
[SPEAKER_01]: just slashing at Boyd and Boyd staggers backward. [SPEAKER_01]: His hands brace himself on the arena's edge as these lion's claws. [SPEAKER_01]: Boyd snarles and says, I'm going for the gold kid. [SPEAKER_01]: throws out both of his hands and the flame funnels as a massive fissure appears in the center of the arena.
[SPEAKER_01]: One last pull, as he tries to mine for everything that the flame has. [SPEAKER_01]: Wyatt, you know, now what you can do. [SPEAKER_01]: ever since the start of this fight, fire has simultaneously recharged and overcharged void. [SPEAKER_01]: The fissure is the final found. [SPEAKER_01]: Roll Insight, 25, 25 on a 25 Wyatt, you think that if everyone poured their energy into [SPEAKER_01]: it would put it would tip boy to over the limit.
[SPEAKER_02]: Everyone put your powers into the fort. [SPEAKER_03]: And he starts blasting fire spells into this hole in the ground. [SPEAKER_01]: We are out of combat. [SPEAKER_01]: Hayden and Solomon do you cast spells on the fort? [SPEAKER_01]: What do you do? [SPEAKER_04]: The only thing that I have left, I have no spells left whatsoever, and I have only three lay on hands.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I think I will try to access the riverbank and ask the for help. [SPEAKER_01]: Hmm. [SPEAKER_01]: Roll a charisma check. [SPEAKER_04]: Do I have proficiency in this? [SPEAKER_01]: Yes. [SPEAKER_04]: Woo. [SPEAKER_04]: All right. [SPEAKER_04]: 15. [SPEAKER_01]: Peyton, what do you do?
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, resolve that in just a second. [SPEAKER_00]: I look around. [SPEAKER_00]: Can I spot Father Maldonan? [SPEAKER_01]: make a perception check. [SPEAKER_01]: 22 on a 22 you look back to find them father Maldinin has at some point arrived on the scene. [SPEAKER_01]: He seemingly has emerged from the from the ruins of the [SPEAKER_01]: He is moving forward.
[SPEAKER_01]: His robes are a little tattered, a little worse for where, because of this crackering that has happened, but he doesn't look hurt. [SPEAKER_00]: I look over it, Father Maldonon, I look up at Wyatt, and I say, I'm a little rusty at this, but I don't know what I'm talking about, [SPEAKER_00]: We are the flame, and the flame is eternal.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I produce a flame in my hand and throw it down into the fissure. [SPEAKER_01]: Father Maldon and smiles, you see a flame producing his hand and he does the same. [SPEAKER_01]: Solomon, on a 15, you reach out, you hear, do you call out to me? [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I think I'll say, [SPEAKER_04]: Hey, Virgil, you got a minute.
[SPEAKER_04]: Could use a hand. [SPEAKER_01]: That reverberates out. [SPEAKER_01]: And then you see the up here. [SPEAKER_01]: The same wings that spread before the fight in Black Thorne Hollow. [SPEAKER_01]: In the mines beneath Black Thorne Hollow, sprout from their back. [SPEAKER_01]: And you see their blue-flamed eyes... look at you.
[SPEAKER_04]: How did Arlin? [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, we need to help the flying. [SPEAKER_04]: Their rivers, brother. [SPEAKER_04]: I can't do anything else about it, but maybe... because this is about the flying. [SPEAKER_04]: You can do something on this plane. [SPEAKER_04]: If you're able to heal, I got nothing left.
[SPEAKER_01]: They nod, and without another word. [SPEAKER_01]: you see them draw from their holster spin the revolver in their grip and for a moment you see the legendary guns flinger that they once wore. [SPEAKER_01]: As they begin to open fire into the casemblow. [SPEAKER_04]: Meanwhile, why it's like everyone help and then Solomon just stands there with their eyes rolled back in her Solomon, is it everyone help?
[SPEAKER_01]: This seems like a bad time for that missile As he's like Kamea mag fire into this hole, all of you are firing into the pit [SPEAKER_01]: You see all of this renewed energy grow within the chasm, it rockets up into Boyd's arms. [SPEAKER_01]: You see for a moment, Boyd recompose as his health regains, and then it begins, he begins to shake.
[SPEAKER_01]: The flames that compose his body loop out like solar flares. [SPEAKER_01]: And then for a moment he detonates. [SPEAKER_01]: And all of that energy is thrown in every direction. [SPEAKER_01]: There is a blinding flash. [SPEAKER_01]: And then you all watch as the coming wall of fire builds towards you.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I need you all to make a charisma save. [SPEAKER_04]: Anyone around me, like anyone that is close to me with in 10 feet will add an extra plus five to that. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_04]: Do I get this safe because I'm like technically on the riverbank? [SPEAKER_04]: Probably, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes. [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. [SPEAKER_01]: You're sort of between realms, you're in there in that gray space, not quite on the riverbank, but a little. [SPEAKER_04]: With a seven on the diet, that's a 21. [SPEAKER_03]: 26 for Hayden, both Wyatt and the Lion, rolled that once. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, oh, oh, whoa.
[SPEAKER_04]: This is like when V and Solomon rolled that once for the river. [SPEAKER_03]: It's just like what Stump died. [UNKNOWN]: Ha ha ha ha ha. [SPEAKER_03]: I got my 10 episodes. [SPEAKER_03]: It's been good, guys. [SPEAKER_01]: Ha ha ha. [SPEAKER_03]: At the series wrap on Wyatt. [SPEAKER_01]: The wall of fire, it's almost silent, it's so loud.
[SPEAKER_01]: As it approaches, there is a blinding light, and you all, for a moment, wonder if you survived. [SPEAKER_01]: There is nothing, and then your vision begins to settle, and you look as the wall of flame stands before you, halted, and just in front between you and the wall, [SPEAKER_01]: to the wall's surface, and one hand pointed at the chasm below, Father Muldin and redirects the wall back into the chasm.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it is killing him. [SPEAKER_01]: you watch as the fire passes through redirecting like a lightning bolt through father Maldana. [SPEAKER_01]: He continues redirecting in any stumbles for a moment, but remains firm. [SPEAKER_01]: And as the end of this flame passes through him, you all receive no damage.
[SPEAKER_01]: And father molten in collapses. [SPEAKER_00]: I rush to him. [SPEAKER_00]: That's just why it. [SPEAKER_00]: Father molten in y'all, right? [SPEAKER_00]: Are you with me? [SPEAKER_01]: Why it pain you rush over? [SPEAKER_01]: to his side, why you land the lion, rushes over, extends a wing and you slide off, and land next to Father Multin, and Father's eyes flutter, and then he focuses them on both of you.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he says, [SPEAKER_02]: to of my brightest students. [SPEAKER_02]: What? [SPEAKER_02]: Miracles. [SPEAKER_02]: That I got to see you again. [SPEAKER_02]: I... ah. [SPEAKER_01]: He falters for a moment. [SPEAKER_01]: And... [SPEAKER_01]: Looking at the condition he's in... You're not sure... that there's much that you can do for him.
[SPEAKER_01]: The flame is a god of death and new beginnings, and nearly all of that god's power was just coursing through him. [SPEAKER_01]: And you think he might be a little beyond healing. [SPEAKER_00]: It's all right. [SPEAKER_00]: It's all right. [SPEAKER_00]: Why, you can, you can help him, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: You can bring him back. [SPEAKER_00]: You've got that kind of power now. [SPEAKER_03]: and why it leans a hand into the crevice to try to harness a little bit of this pure flame energy to cast for a vivify? [SPEAKER_01]: Why it? [SPEAKER_01]: I need you to roll a high wisdom check. [SPEAKER_01]: You would have to roll a 22 or higher.
[SPEAKER_01]: So 15? [SPEAKER_01]: Why at the flames die down in the chasm? [SPEAKER_01]: As the flame seeks to restore himself right now. [SPEAKER_01]: Father Maldinin looks at the two of you. [SPEAKER_02]: And he says, no. [SPEAKER_02]: I see the sadness in your eyes. [SPEAKER_02]: This is life. [SPEAKER_02]: I regret nothing, you both were among the brightest flames I had ever witnessed.
[SPEAKER_02]: And if I were to help you shine brighter even for a moment, then I pass on whole and complete [SPEAKER_02]: He smiles, and he says may the flame light, and he's gone. [SPEAKER_00]: I grab why a tanned. [SPEAKER_01]: Solome, you watch as V, Virgil, bows their head. [SPEAKER_04]: I do the same.
[SPEAKER_02]: they kneel beside Father Muldin and, and a flame, so bright that it is hard to look at, directly, emerges from his chest. [SPEAKER_04]: Do you need anything? [SPEAKER_04]: You need somebody to get your sex or anything like that. [SPEAKER_02]: Not yet. [SPEAKER_02]: But... [SPEAKER_02]: There's still a lot of work to be done here.
[SPEAKER_04]: I left a little more work for you upstairs. [SPEAKER_01]: They not. [SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry. [SPEAKER_04]: And I'm not. [SPEAKER_01]: I know. [SPEAKER_01]: And then they... [SPEAKER_01]: Blur out, Hayden and Wyatt, you still accompany, Father Muldin and his body. [SPEAKER_03]: Hayden would remind to help me gather some wood.
[SPEAKER_03]: Of course. [SPEAKER_00]: Actually, can I use the spell in Tangle to [SPEAKER_00]: Conjure would envines myself that stretch out over the chasm and wraparound, Father Maldonan, all out for this. [SPEAKER_00]: In the wilds and the flame all part of one family, so why not connect them? [SPEAKER_03]: Come join me, Hayden.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know this isn't really your thing, but I think you would want you to be here for this. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'll come. [SPEAKER_03]: Hayden and Wyatt walk over to the chasm, and Father Mulden and is in the middle of this bridge that Hayden has created, and [SPEAKER_03]: It hesitates a little longer than he did before because he's never had to do this ceremony for a friend.
[SPEAKER_03]: He has only done it previously for the bastion and pre-tricacity. [SPEAKER_03]: So he hesitates a little longer than starts. [SPEAKER_03]: May the light of the flame guide your soul towards it. [SPEAKER_03]: and may your soul be cleansed by the flames' heat. [SPEAKER_03]: Join your siblings in the flames' embrace as we wait for our salvation.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then he tosses a flame onto the bridge to light it. [SPEAKER_03]: Hayden well too. [SPEAKER_01]: On the bridge burns. [SPEAKER_02]: And you sit with this. [SPEAKER_01]: as you do, morgica arrives, spent, and he lays down his sword at the end of the bridge, nails, and you watch as this, this arena devoted to death, as claimed its last life, [SPEAKER_01]: What's left of it is crumbling, empty, any remaining patrons have long since fled into the desert.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then softly, very softly, you hear, and then with a, you see the jolt of a pickaxe. [SPEAKER_01]: a snap through the ground. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, and then a small dwerger woman hoists herself up. [SPEAKER_01]: And she says, so this is where you all been. [SPEAKER_00]: Don't get me wrong.
[SPEAKER_00]: I am so glad to see you, but there's something I've seen this. [SPEAKER_00]: horrific beast that's made of all sorts of plants and blood and animals and creations are you somehow frightened me more. [SPEAKER_00]: Well thank you very much. [SPEAKER_00]: And then I run over and hug her. [SPEAKER_00]: She says, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, do you need some healing?
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you need some help here? [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh [SPEAKER_00]: That's not true.
[SPEAKER_01]: She says, I just, she, like, rub some dirt into a fresh knife wound. [SPEAKER_00]: No! [SPEAKER_00]: No! [SPEAKER_01]: And says, yeah, cut the, cut the blade into some feisty woman on her way out the door. [SPEAKER_01]: Sort of, hot pink dress. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I tell you, kind of a looker.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, really? [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I'm sure she's probably a drug killer, though. [SPEAKER_01]: Ah, yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: But she'd rub some more dirt into the wound. [SPEAKER_00]: Please stop. [SPEAKER_01]: Right. [SPEAKER_01]: And as she sits with y'all, Belinda comes up to you, Solomon.
[SPEAKER_01]: It says, So, do I have to call you bad scout now? [SPEAKER_04]: Where did he keep the ledger? [SPEAKER_04]: I need to know. [SPEAKER_01]: If you're talking about some sort of little black book, probably be in his office. [SPEAKER_04]: Can you take me? [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: I can take you.
[SPEAKER_04]: Thanks. [SPEAKER_01]: Why didn't Hayden do you stay here? [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: I think we'll stay together. [SPEAKER_00]: I think as the flames consume the bridge, we'll say. [SPEAKER_00]: That's fun at. [SPEAKER_00]: I mourned a father more than a year ago, I really thought it was just gone, but when I mourned it before it was this cold anger that I held on to for so long, I know it feels different this time, that's nice, I just [SPEAKER_00]: Move my hand from holding his two just around his shoulders and just kind of pull him in.
[SPEAKER_01]: And you sit in silence. [SPEAKER_01]: Final MENA catches the vibe and sits in silence. [SPEAKER_01]: And Mordric sits making another doll. [SPEAKER_01]: of the pit, down corridors, down flights of staircases, until you reach a pair of oak doors, hanging a little a jar now. [SPEAKER_01]: You look inside to find a large office that is, or was at one point, covered [SPEAKER_01]: from floor to ceiling in taxidermy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Something that only Wyatt knew. [SPEAKER_00]: Hmm. [SPEAKER_01]: There is a taxidermy owl there. [SPEAKER_01]: Fully seven feet tall, keeled over on its side on the ground. [SPEAKER_01]: A leather sofa, facing the doors beyond it a glass case, filled with small, [SPEAKER_01]: what were once creatures.
[SPEAKER_01]: The heads of Bison and small dragons litter the room. [SPEAKER_01]: And that the very end is a large desk, a stained glass lamp at one corner. [SPEAKER_01]: It's a nice desk, [SPEAKER_01]: Belinda tries and finds it locked, but she, with a wave of her hand, clicks it unlocked. [SPEAKER_04]: Tom, it puts the gun away.
[SPEAKER_04]: She's going to shoot it open. [SPEAKER_01]: And there, in the top drawer, seemingly unbothered, is a black book. [SPEAKER_04]: So all my his hands are shaking with all of the fear and fury that she has had in this whole journey and she opens the book and the first names that she look for are Melinda and John Patrick Forsyth.
[SPEAKER_01]: You flip pages and find [SPEAKER_04]: Second name I look for is Luther Wainwright. [SPEAKER_01]: You look, you flip to the end of the book, and there under W's is Wainwright, Luther, and Wainwright, Mary Jean. [SPEAKER_04]: And after a little too much stalling, I flipped to the jays and look for any of the jamsons.
[SPEAKER_01]: You flip to the jays. [SPEAKER_01]: and you do not find a single, jameson. [SPEAKER_04]: I pocket the book. [SPEAKER_04]: And say thank you. [SPEAKER_04]: I don't understand how he's not in here. [SPEAKER_04]: I was so afraid that he would be. [SPEAKER_01]: Blender shrugs. [SPEAKER_01]: And says, [SPEAKER_01]: Well, maybe there's some pits too low for the devil himself.
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe it just thought it was tacky. [SPEAKER_01]: She looks at you. [SPEAKER_01]: When she says, did this have to do with him? [SPEAKER_01]: Or did this have to do with you? [SPEAKER_04]: What do you mean? [SPEAKER_01]: He's dead. [SPEAKER_01]: Why does the amount of bad things he did in his life?
[SPEAKER_01]: Does that change it? [SPEAKER_04]: Ever since I came out here, I keep finding out about the things he's done in the people he's killed. [SPEAKER_04]: I don't think I knew just how deep my portrayal of the Badlands went until I got out here and found out. [SPEAKER_04]: He'd be out late a lot.
[SPEAKER_04]: I just thought he was cheating. [SPEAKER_04]: this. [SPEAKER_04]: I keep finding out about Ford Falls and about Providence and about everything else that he's been doing and there must have been signs and maybe I didn't look for him because maybe I didn't want to or maybe he was good at [SPEAKER_04]: I want to be like my family, I want to be like my mama or he's me to be to see the best in everybody, but there's got to be a certain point where some people are just beyond saving and who am I, but beyond saving if I married that.
[SPEAKER_04]: And there might have been signs, and I missed him. [SPEAKER_04]: And he went out and hurt. [SPEAKER_04]: God's only know how many people out here. [SPEAKER_04]: Well, I sat in three and did nothing. [SPEAKER_04]: I don't think there's a way for me to go home. [SPEAKER_04]: Belinda, I want...
[SPEAKER_04]: I want to burn through to the ground, and I want to burn with it. [SPEAKER_01]: Belinda turns on you. [SPEAKER_01]: And she says, who the fuck do you think you are? [SPEAKER_01]: What? [SPEAKER_01]: Now, who the fuck do you think you are that you get to decide these things? [SPEAKER_01]: That you get to be the almighty spirit of vengeance girl scout.
[SPEAKER_01]: You think because somebody wronged you, that you can, that you can go out on your own, [SPEAKER_04]: I have about him wrong, and me look what he's done to everybody. [SPEAKER_01]: That you think that one bad man means you get to throw your life away. [SPEAKER_04]: I did this. [SPEAKER_04]: You anything that he did.
[SPEAKER_04]: I did too. [SPEAKER_01]: Damn you've been hanging out with my fucking brother. [SPEAKER_01]: You think at the end of the day, I wouldn't give anything. [SPEAKER_01]: What he's done? [SPEAKER_01]: You think it matters what Titus did do with me? [SPEAKER_01]: Does? [SPEAKER_01]: They don't mean nothing.
[SPEAKER_01]: If I have to say goodbye to my brother. [SPEAKER_04]: Just different. [SPEAKER_04]: How? [SPEAKER_04]: I didn't do this. [SPEAKER_04]: Titus did it to him. [SPEAKER_01]: I would love for you to explain that to him. [SPEAKER_04]: I tried. [SPEAKER_01]: And did it work? [SPEAKER_04]: No, I try to tell him that my answer's some of the best damn healers in the badlands and that they could probably help him.
[SPEAKER_01]: Then how do you think I fucking feel right now? [SPEAKER_01]: God damn. [SPEAKER_01]: You self-ratches fucking people. [SPEAKER_01]: I don't, she slams her fists down on the desk and she says, people just wanna take the way to the world on their fucking shoulders and they don't understand that we're just people.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we fuck up. [SPEAKER_01]: You think you're the only husband killer here? [SPEAKER_01]: You think you're the only one who was married to somebody who was a piece of shit? [SPEAKER_04]: No, Melinda, but I bet yours didn't sink a whole goddamn town. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh. [SPEAKER_04]: I bet yours didn't kill the fucking bomb defects.
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you, okay, do you want to compare husbands? [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you want to compare husbands. [SPEAKER_04]: I do. [SPEAKER_04]: Miss Bartle, tell me. [SPEAKER_04]: Tell me what he had comments. [SPEAKER_01]: You don't want to deserve this hairpin. [SPEAKER_01]: Why don't you buy me a fucking drink and we can talk about it.
[SPEAKER_01]: But until then. [SPEAKER_01]: Why don't we stop bitching and moaning about men? [SPEAKER_01]: And we start, I don't know, moving forward. [SPEAKER_01]: I miss my mama more than anybody, but Barab is killing Titusank on to bring that back. [SPEAKER_01]: And you've raising Thread to the ground?
[SPEAKER_01]: How many sawmays you think you're gonna make? [SPEAKER_04]: I've never met anybody there worth saving. [SPEAKER_01]: All right, well, [SPEAKER_04]: Well, you know, except Hayden, and Stump, and Wyatt, and everybody fucking else. [SPEAKER_04]: Look, I'm sorry. [SPEAKER_04]: I will try not to kill everybody in their sister in three.
[SPEAKER_01]: She sighs and says, kill whoever you want. [SPEAKER_01]: I got a brother to find. [SPEAKER_04]: Ms. Bartel cannot, cannot help. [SPEAKER_01]: She says not like that. [SPEAKER_04]: All right, well, what do you want then? [SPEAKER_04]: You want me to forgive myself? [SPEAKER_04]: Now, how many more things do I have to find out that I missed or overlooked or was responsible for and keep forgive myself for?
[SPEAKER_04]: Hell, everybody keeps saying to do it, but I don't know that I can. [SPEAKER_04]: I can try, but I don't know if I can go home after this. [SPEAKER_01]: And she says, ain't that always the question? [SPEAKER_02]: I ain't that always the question. [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, if you find a way to forgive yourself and move forward, give me a ring.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're going to Twin River. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to three. [SPEAKER_04]: Take care of our people together, and then we're going to three. [SPEAKER_01]: At the risk of sounding like my brother, I ain't got the time. [SPEAKER_01]: to wait. [SPEAKER_04]: But are not doing anything stupid before we get there?
[SPEAKER_01]: That cracks the grin, and she says, where the Bartle siblings. [SPEAKER_01]: Stupid's what we do. [SPEAKER_04]: Look, just don't let them go kill and die. [SPEAKER_04]: Isn't walking out into the sun. [SPEAKER_04]: I really do think we can help them. [SPEAKER_04]: You should make my ants.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're really good at what they do. [SPEAKER_04]: I think they, I think they could help them. [SPEAKER_01]: He says, Right. [SPEAKER_04]: Look, I... [SPEAKER_04]: I think I need to talk to my answer about this, and I think I need to talk to Hayden, and maybe why it depends on if he wants to know.
[SPEAKER_04]: But I'll try. [SPEAKER_04]: I'll try. [SPEAKER_04]: Okay? [SPEAKER_04]: I'll try. [SPEAKER_04]: For no other reason than because I think I kind of like you, [SPEAKER_01]: don't like, don't pin this on me, change because you want her. [SPEAKER_01]: And she leaves. [SPEAKER_03]: I want to implant a memory of stump explaining that all you can do is try to do good and moving forward after you've done bad your entire life.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, God, it's all the way thinks about stump and about what he said and what bull and decide and knows fully that you're both right, of course you are, but as she tries to sit with that and take it in, [SPEAKER_04]: I think there is still just this deep fear and shame that have tied themselves into a knot in her stomach around that, and as she tries to sit with that and take it in, I think she hits that knot, and is just not fully able to make herself believe that she is worth [SPEAKER_04]: some sort of redemption or forgiveness, but as she tries, because she does try her hand kind of drifts up to her hair to check for Volinda's hairpin.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's gone. [SPEAKER_04]: 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 [SPEAKER_01]: There's not much left of the bridge now.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's long since collapsed into the chasm. [SPEAKER_01]: And... Mordric looks over at the two of you. [SPEAKER_01]: And he says, I... [SPEAKER_02]: Understand. [SPEAKER_02]: What a good mentor. [SPEAKER_02]: Means. [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry for your loss. [SPEAKER_00]: I ought to have had this loss.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I got something back this time. [SPEAKER_01]: Then you're fortunate. [SPEAKER_01]: Even in your misfortune. [SPEAKER_03]: I had only kind of here's this conversation as he continues to stare into this cavern. [SPEAKER_03]: Once again, a parallel to that first fight on the train, [SPEAKER_03]: when his adrenaline left after he killed his first first person, and he's just tired and sad, and doesn't really know what to do about anything anymore.
[SPEAKER_03]: the first person to ever really care about him and make him feel special. [SPEAKER_00]: This might be misguided. [SPEAKER_00]: I hate him will grab why it's hand again and cast-produced flame just so that they can feel the pain together. [SPEAKER_01]: In the fire burns, but you feel it's warmth.
[SPEAKER_01]: you feel it's light and why it... you feel the flames warmth in shroud you covering you like a blanket in your sorrow and that warmth and that exhaustion heavies your eyelids and you sleep [SPEAKER_01]: new girl, though it may take time, you continue, and that is where we'll pick up next time.
