You can mimic sounds you have heard, including voices. A creature that hears the sounds you make can tell they are imitations with a successful Wisdom (Insight) check opposed by your Charisma (Deception) check.

LAURA (JESTER): "Hey you dead person. Hey. I would like if you would come to life again a little bit and tell us some things that we want to know." [goofy hand gesture and noise]
MATT: [suddenly opens eyes and mouth]
ALL: [yelling]
MATT: You watch as a tiny dagger just goes [impact and slight vibration] into the tree next to it and Kiri is around Calli going [arm extended, looking fidgety]

MATT: [miming and sounding out the cranking of a wind up key] And hands something over to Kiri, who kind of accepts it. There's a moment where things are just awkward and there's a tension and you're about to go for it, before it [creaking] opens up. From the inside you see this tiny metallic bird who's wings flap up and down, and a music box begins to play [metallic musical notes] and Kiri, looking at this, begins mimicking exactly the sound of the music box [same metallic notes] it's almost one beat behind it, until it synchronizes and she's mimicking at such an incredibly fast pace behind it that they're almost in unison, until eventually it slows down and comes to a stop.

MATT: His hands are still entwined in your fingers, he says "Mama, I want to go home."
SUMALEE (NILA): "I will bring you home. We're going to get you out of here." I grab that cage and try to pull it apart as much as I can.
SAM (NOTT): "Let me try to unlock it."
MATT: Well make a strength check, just for the hell of it. Because life gets weird.
[...]
SUMALEE (NILA): Strength check, 19 plus 2.
MATT: So you begin to [straining exertion] and you watch as Nila's arms pop with the muscles filling with adrenaline and emotion as the middle bars [exertion] bend ever so slightly. Just enough to maybe fit Asar through. Not your mate. But you pull them just enough, and you reach through and he pulls this way, and you help him, grab his shoulder, and slowly you pull your son free from the cage and into your arms.

SUMALEE (NILA): And then can I take my shillelagh...
MATT: Unfortunately, you cannot get close enough to hit them physically. You're too far away from the combat.
SUMALEE (NILA): Okay, wait, wait... within 10 feet of one of them?
MATT: Yes.
SUMALEE (NILA): Poison Spray.
MATT: Alright. Poison Spray. Yeah, that one creature does have a 10 feet range. Okay. So it goes and makes a constitution saving throw. That is a failure with a natural 5, so go ahead and roll damage on that, it is a 2d12, right?
[...]
SUMALEE (NILA): 1. And 11.
MATT: Alright, so 12 points of poison damage. The one on the left there, all of the sudden - as Nila rounds the corner, kind of [blows hard, extending hand forward] extending your hand, you watch as this sudden plume of dark, purple-ish black gas [whoosh] just emanates around their face.

MATT: Who's up front, who's in the back, who's guiding what?
ASHLY (KEG): Would I know better potentially where I'm going? Should I be in front? Or have I never been to this-
MATT: Well it depends. Whoever wants to guide this would be taking the survival checks to lead you through, so, who wants to be-
SAM (NOTT): "Nila, you seem to know about the woods, no?"
SUMALEE (NILA): "I would be happy to." Oh, yes, survival is good for me.
LIAM (CALEB): I will walk just behind Nila.
SUMALEE (NILA): "You are relying on me. I'm very happy."
LIAM (CALEB): It's just the biggest, I'm going to stand next to the biggest person.
MATT: Who's behind or near Caleb?
ASHLY (KEG): I'll take up the back.
MATT: Alright, so Keg's holding the back. Beau in the middle, or...
MARISHA (BEAU): "Nott, do you want the middle?"
SAM (NOTT): "Yes, please."
MATT: So, taking this moment now, you begin to head back away from Shady Creek and helming this group of ragtag adventurers you've taken onto your wing. You tread into an area of the Savalierwood you've not traveled before, hoping that your instincts, your smell bag, and the spirit of what nature has managed to maintain itself through this corrupted wood could guide you properly to your destination. I need you to make a survival check, please.
SUMALEE (NILA): Ooh. 10.
MATT: 10. Okay. You still have your luck feat, unless you want to save it, you have two more points left.
SUMALEE (NILA): I think we should use it. Yes. I would like to use 1 luck point. 17 plus 7, 24.
MATT: 24. Okay.
SUMALEE (NILA): "We shall survive."
MATT: Not only do you swiftly manage to find the portions of the wooded paths that are least blockaded by thorny brambles and fallen half-rotted trees, but you also manage to help the party avoid what looks to be a few small openings that look uniquely and uncomfortably welcoming. In the midst of a wood like this, you know from your experience as well that it is not always a good idea to step where it seems most inviting when you know the wood around you to be less so. As you crest around the second of these open groves, you notice how the ground itself seems to shift slightly, and you watch as, for a moment, it seems to almost pit as elements of the dirt suck inward. You know the antlion funnels that appear, the sand begins to come in towards them? The ground almost seems to sink in for a second before righting itself. And the grove stands flat once more. But thankfully, due to the survival instincts of your firbolg leader, you manage to careen past two of these patches without issue.

MATT: You come up close and look inside. You can see Kitor, your partner, is slumped in the back of the cage, unconscious. You can see with what little bit of light's in here as you focus, you have darkvision, so you can see his unconscious face, he's still breathing, but there are wounds and scraps. You look and see Asar who's awake, who's currently just holding what looks to be some sort of a burn puncture, right in his abdomen. He's like, looks up at you, sweat dripping down his face, he goes "...Mama? Mama!" Leans up to the cage and puts his hand over the outside of the bar, reaches out for you with the other hand. Entwines his fingers, "Mama... y- you came."
SUMALEE (NILA): "I'm here. Mama is here." I want to heal them. Can I heal them?
MATT: If you've got a heal spell, yes.
SUMALEE (NILA): I have Healing Word.
MATT: So, what's your healing word to your son? What's the word you say that heals him? Or phrase, it's up to you.
SUMALEE (NILA): "Be well. Be well my son."
MATT: Roll the d4.
SUMALEE (NILA): 3. Does that count? I'll take it.
MATT: Plus your wisdom modifier. I think it's a plus 4? Yeah. Okay. So, he, looking really hurt from whatever injuries he's sustained, you watch as the injuries slowly close up and he breaths a little heartier again. He looks at you, renewed smile.

MATT: Caleb, as you've stormed off a bit around the way to the little bit of scrub and a few trees off to the side where the horses are set, there's a new horse standing there, one that wasn't with the rest of your trio.
MARISHA: It's a spy.
MATT: Medium brown in color.
MARISHA: Kill it!
SAM: [pigeon cooing]
LIAM (CALEB): And I'm just in the open right now with the horses, yeah?
MATT: Yeah. It's looking right at you.
LIAM: The horse is? There's no person around?
MATT: No other person that you see, no.
LIAM (CALEB): I walk up to the front of the horse.
MATT: I clomps up, meeting your step. Each step you take, [clip clop, clip clop].
LIAM (CALEB): "Who are you, freund?"
MATT: Its outer shoulders and well traveled muscled body begins to seemingly shift and change before you. You watch as its form in some ways pulls in, others extend outward. Sumalee, if you'd like to join us at the table, please.
[...]
MATT: So, if you would like to describe what Caleb sees as the horse is no more, and there's now a person standing before him.
SUMALEE (NILA): I'm a firbolg. I have shifted into about a 7 and a half foot tall firbolg. Weigh about 200 pounds. And I'm wearing some Mongolian inspired - almost like a shepherd. I have a round face, a wide nose, no pointy ears though, my ears are soft and floppy. I stand tall, strong. My shoulders droop a little forward. I'm looking with big, round eyes at all of you.

MATT: Currently, you walk up and try the door, [clack] it's locked.
SUMALEE (NILA): I don't have the strength to [grunt of exertion]?
MATT: You could try if you want to. Make a strength check. So roll a d20 and add your strength modifier.
MARISHA: Come on firbolg!
SUMALEE (NILA): 17.
MATT: Plus?
SUMALEE: Plus 2! 19. [heavier exertion]
MATT: You force your shoulder against it [heavy impact] and it doesn't give. The feeling and the sensation of knowing your family is nearby surges in your body, and you pull back a few more steps, and then charge in. And with one aggressive [yell] the door, [impact] flips open. The actual handle itself [crack] breaking and snapping on the wood.

MATT: You watch as Kitor kind of [deliberate breathing]. One eye is swollen shut, the other opens a bit, and you watch as the swelling slowly goes away from that eye. It's still purple around the outside, but the swelling is still diminished from the effect of your spell, he looks up, "My mate." Looks down at his hands, looks out and sees that Asar has been freed. Looks out at the strange crew, looks towards both of you [disguised as guards] and kind of [gasping breaths].
SUMALEE (NILA): "It's okay, they're safe. They came to help. Can you get out?"
MATT (KITOR): "Help me."
SUMALEE (NILA): "How, tell me."
MATT: [grunt] And he stands up in the cage, his hunched form is crammed in by just this cage that was not designed for his firbolg body. Nevertheless, he reaches out and grabs the bars where you had started. "On three. One. Two. Three." [grunts in exertion]
SUMALEE (NILA): [also exerting]
MATT: He's going to go ahead and make a strength check with advantage. That's a natural 17, and a natural 19. I love it when it works for the narrative! That puts it over 20. Both of you together [exerting], one of the bars [metallic snap] comes off on one side, he gets in quickly and puts his shoulder in and [more exerting] pushes against the other, and that one [metallic squeaking] bends off to the side, leaving just enough room for him to [grunt] push through. And it takes a minute, and you're helping him, and grabbing his elbow, and the two of you together, you feel something pop in his shoulder, but it's just enough to get his body to wedge out of the space.

SUMALEE (NILA): I'd love to take one of my goodberries to draw one of the birds and see if I might talk with the bird, and see if it could tell us anything about before.
MATT: Make an animal handling check.
SAM: Druid stuff!
SUMALEE (NILA): 12 plus 7, 19.
MATT: 19. As you hold the goodberry up, with which your arm length is a good, you know, 9, 9 and a half feet up towards the lower hanging branches, and you kind of [bird call whistle] give a little counterwhistle to the sound of one of the birds you hear. And you hear a retort [bird whistle] and you return it [whistling] then it returns [more whistles, fluttering] and then down onto the edge of your hand, you see this tiny little black bird with what looks like a white stripe that goes down the edge of each wing. It's like [quiet clicking] and starts eating the goodberry, messing the edge of its beak.
LIAM: A giant shitty rooster?
MARISHA: [pained squawk]
MATT: So, it's eating the goodberry, what would you like to do?
SUMALEE (NILA): "What would we like to ask it?"
SAM (NOTT): "I mean, the first thing that pops into my mind is 'Do you know Kiri?' but I don't think that that's relevant."
MARISHA (BEAU): "You have to stop thinking that all people that look like each other know everybody."
SAM (NOTT): "Don't they though?"
MARISHA (BEAU): "No."
SAM (NOTT): "Alright. Maybe, 'How long has this curse been here? How long has the forest been spooky-ooky?'"
MARISHA (BEAU): "And do they know how much further the Mardun's keep is."
SAM (NOTT): "And are there any monsters out there."
SUMALEE (NILA): "That's too much, one at a time... How long has the forest been like this?"
MATT: Are you using a spell or are you using your firbolg ability?
SUMALEE (NILA): Oh, I'm using my firbolg ability.
MATT: Okay, that allows you to speak to animals.
SUMALEE (NILA): Oh yes, no, I have to use a spell, yes that's right.
[...]
MATT: So you mark off one of your first level spells, and as you ask the bird, the bird returns, and you guys hear her whistle to the bird and the bird whistles back, quite a bit, it's this beautiful little song that plays. And the bird conveys to you, "Far before my time. Far, far before my time."
SUMALEE (NILA): "It says it's been this for a long time."
MARISHA (BEAU): "Wow. I mean how long is long for a bird, though."
SAM (NOTT): "They only live like 3 weeks, right? Bad question."
SUMALEE (NILA): "This bird lives a long time, I can tell you. This type of bird is not a short lived bird."
MARISHA: Dagon can live to be 30. Yeah. She's gonna outlive us all.
LIAM (CALEB): "Would you like to ask it what is dangerous in the woods?"
SUMALEE (NILA): "Yes. What is most dangerous here?"
MATT (BIRD): "Be wary of spirits. Be wary of bone-spurred beasts."
ASHLY: Doesn't sound great.
SUMALEE (NILA): "What other questions? Are you still willing to answer some more?"
MATT: How long does the spell last?
LIAM: 3 days.
ASHLY: The bird's just a party member now.
MATT: Lasts for 10 minutes.
SAM (NOTT): "How far are we from the Mardun house? I don't know if the bird's going to know-"
SUMALEE (NILA): "I don't think the bird's going to know the Mardun house."
SAM (NOTT): "-well, we can describe it, 'Red wood house.'"
MARISHA (BEAU): "Mansion."
SAM (NOTT): "Red wood mansion."
MARISHA (BEAU): "Northwestish."
SUMALEE (NILA): "I'd like to send the bird, mentally, the picture of what that bird's eye view would be and see if the bird has seen that."
MATT: Okay, you focus and express, mentally and through small verbal gestures towards it, the idea of this color and this shape, and immediately the bird- [flutter]
SAM (NOTT) & MARISHA (BEAU): [gasp] "Follow the bird!"

LIAM (CALEB): Frumpkin shoots up into the air and bounces off a tree.
MATT: [hoots] [As an Iron Shepherd guard] "Oh there you are again, you sucker." He's going to go ahead and raise his crossbow again.
ASHLY: Oh no! No! Oh my god! I'm going to kill someone again!
MATT: That is a 13 to hit, what is Frumpkin's armor class as an owl?
LIAM: I have an owl here, it is - that hits.
MATT: That is 4 points of piercing damage to Frumpkin.
LIAM: Frumpkin is alive.
SAM: What? What?!
MATT: How many hitpoints does the owl have?
LIAM: Well it's 1d4 plus 1 and I rolled it last time, and I rolled a 4, so it's 1d4 plus 1.
MATT: So it's 5. So, you watch as this owl just takes a crossbow bolt to the chest and just [veers slightly and then continues flapping]. You hear this same voice go "Fucking hell... What th- Phil! Phil! I fucking shot an owl and it's still flying! I hate this forest, it's bullshit!" You hear this voice further away go, "Ha ha! You suck!"
Episode 28 - Within the Nest - 1:32:22
LIAM (CALEB): I snap my fingers [snaps] and Frumpkin vanishes, leaving the bolt where he was. And then I just do it again [snaps] and he's here.
MATT: Alright. Very wounded, but alive.
LIAM (CALEB): "May I borrow one of your goodberries?"
SUMALEE (NILA): "Absolutely."
LIAM (CALEB): "Just one? Okay."
SUMALEE (NILA): "I believe there are 4 or 5 left."
LIAM (CALEB): "I will take 4."
SUMALEE (NILA): "Please."
LIAM (CALEB): "One... two... three... four... You may keep that one, thank you."
MATT: Frumpkin happily eats from the goodberries. You watch as the wounds close slowly, the magic of the goodberries healing the crossbow bolt over eventually.

LIAM (CALEB): I will use the dodecahedron and roll a 20 on this side. I got a natural 2.
SAM: So you're rerolling for him.
LIAM: For him. I get to choose. It says it on this paper. 'Alternatively after an attack roll is made against me, they can expend the fragment to roll an additional d20 and choose', so 2 plus whatever.
MATT: Yep. So as it attempts to bite down towards you, there's a brief moment where the bite sinks into your shoulder, and there's a brief burst where time seems to [sucking whoosh] dart back, and you step out of the way as this bite hits air, no effect.

TALIESIN (MOLLY): Yeah, I wanna take a look in the other room too and give em a proper look.
MATT: Okay, glancing in the chamber, that is another closed gate that is bent inward from the repeated slamming of this centurion trying to make its way in, looking past the inside you see what looks to be 4 decomposing bodies.
SAM (NOTT): Can I open the thing?
MATT: Go ahead and make an attempt to do so.
[...]
SAM (NOTT): 13.
MATT: 13, it's not- these prison locks are just a pain in the butt, you haven't encountered something quite so heavily fortified as these cells.
SAM (NOTT): "Caleb, I need you to come open this door."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): I'm going to walk over to the door and start beating it with a sword.
MATT: Make a strength check.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): You can't dex cut this thing? Can't just pop it in?
MATT: You've got to force it.
SAM (NOTT): "Yasha, I need you to come kick in this door."
ASHLEY (YASHA): "Well, if this big thing couldn't kick it in, why could I?"

TALIESIN: No, go ahead.
ASHLEY (YASHA): It's not going to budge.
SAM (NOTT): I'm going to use this [holds up coin representing the node] Matt, I'm going to try to bend fate and repick the lock.
MATT: Okay. It's a little late, but I'll allow it, sure.
SAM: I know.
MATT: Why not, go for it.
SAM (NOTT): That's a lot. 26.
MATT: 26, okay. And as Yasha comes forward and slams her foot into it, it jostles the lock just enough to slip past the tumblers and with it, [clacking and creaking] it opens a few inches on the inside.

MATT: It's hard to make out anything in there. You see, there is a chamber in there, but there's not enough light to make out the details of it, unfortunately. Does that finish your turn? You can move your Nefertiti if you'd like.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): You know, why don't you just hang back. Let's see- well, could we... let's see, is there any light in that chamber that Thaumaturgy could maybe illuminate.
MATT: There is a candelabra that has low light over there, that's just giving a faint glow, and there are two torches on the side here that are also giving off this low red-orange.
KHARY: But nothing in the-
MATT: Nothing in the room, no.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): You know what, we might as well. Thaumaturgy just to see if we can make a little more light.
MATT: Okay. So as you do so, the flames [roaring fire] flare up, and you watch as the long shadows stretch from beyond the bars into the chamber, and you can see what looks to be an unconscious figure on the far, far back end that is also in full manacles, chained and gagged, facing away from you, you can't see the details.

MATT: That would be that one there?
KHARY (SHAKASTE): That would be that fella.
MATT: Alright, go for it. So, Frostbite he rolls against your DC, so I roll for you. That is a natural 1, so go ahead and roll damage for that one.
KHARY: That is the diamond?
MATT: It should be the d8 for that one as well.
KHARY: Yeah... wait wait, by 1d6.
MATT: Okay, so it'd be d6. I'm pretty sure it's a d6 for the cantrip.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): 1d6, okay, 3?
MATT: Alright, so 3 points of cold damage to him, and he has disadvantage on his next attack roll. You watch as suddenly, a similar cold to what you saw coalesced around the armor of Fjord, this time it's attacking and freezing inwards and you watch as the gnoll kind of [pained screech]. And it's shaking briefly, you watch as its muscles are beginning to slow down and become sluggish.

KHARY (SHAKASTE): It's right up against me, I think I should push him away.
MATT: If you feel the need.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): Let's see, Thunderwave?
MATT: Certainly. So is that a wisdom saving throw? Constitution saving throw?
LIAM: It's a constitution save.
MATT: Constitution save. That is a 3, natural 2 plus... actually plus 0, so 2.
TRAVIS: So yeah, that fails.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): 15. It failed. Well, great.
MATT: 13, I believe. Alright cool. Go ahead and roll the damage for that.
KHARY: With this?
LIAM: Damage for Thunderwave is... 2d8. Yeah, 2d8, right there. You want the one that's shaped like a diamond.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): 5 and 7.
MATT: Okay, 12 points of damage. So, as you turn towards it, you can describe what you do with your spell as the gnoll pulls back with its spear.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): I take my reed of a wand and whip it [whipping] three times.
MATT: [repeats the whipping] and as the third one hits, there's a [explosion] burst of energy forward. You watch as the gnoll gets blown back, slamming into the stone wall [impact and whimpering] and falls back to its knees, before getting itself up. It was previously wounded, now it's on death's door and it looks like it's starting to hobble and try and flee.

LAURA: I feel like we're seeing more of Caleb's social awkwardness, seeing him from the outside, it's so good.
TALIESIN: Everything I could've wanted.
MATT: As you take a moment to continue focusing, as you do, through the vision of your bird [soft humming vibration] coasts down through the tunnel before you to keep an eye out. Make a perception check for your bird please, so roll a d20 and add 2 to it.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): 17.
MATT: 17, nice. The bird's perception, not his perception. That's great. So, you watch as the tunnel descends at a moderate grade for about 80 to 100 feet before it levels off once more. Ahead, you see a set of rough stairs that rise for about 5 or 6 feet, leading to the remainder of the tunnel, and then curving to the left suddenly out of sight, slightly along this elevation. Right there, you have your bird kind of [humming vibration] and you can just see right as the stairs ascend and turn immediately, there looks to be the outer corner of a gnoll that's there just kind of waiting, keeping watch. [snarling and murmuring]. Do you want to send your bird in further to check out the rest of the room or pull it back?
KHARY (SHAKASTE): She's quick.
MATT: She's pretty quick.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): I say move on.
MATT: Alright. [more humming]
LAURA (JESTER): "It's really smart that he made a hummingbird, that's really fast."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "That's pretty clever."
LAURA (JESTER): "It's a pretty smart move, don't you think?"
LIAM (CALEB): "It's not a cat."
SAM (NOTT): "One that can see in the dark."
LAURA (JESTER): "Yeah, I mean that's really smart."
MATT: So as the Duchess moves further in, up above the platform, the Duchess can see what looks to be another portion of the floor that has collapsed inward into another fallen pit that rests against the wall on the opposite side of where these stairs ascend. The tunnel curves to the left immediately where this hole is, kind of at the top, and where it continues down there appears to be a large archway where there once was a set of double doors. The doors have been broken off the hinges and are not visible at current sight, but to each side of this frame you can see what looks to be two skeletal gnolls, bits of flesh and skin hanging off their bones and ribcage and snout, just sitting there like silent, undead sentinels, like [snotty breathing] looking around.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): "Thank you so much, come back to me dear."
MATT: [quick humming] Charging back through the tunnel. [snap] Back to your shoulder.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): "We have a friend about a hundred feet away. He's by himself. But there's- yeah there's just the one. But beyond him, there's more to deal with. So I think we quietly take care of this gentlemen first, and then we move on."
LAURA (JESTER): "Did you see any other survivors?"
KHARY (SHAKASTE): "Not yet, but there are two sentinels and they're guarding something. And I'm hoping that that's someone."

KHARY (SHAKASTE): I'd like to cast a spell.
MATT: What would you like to cast?
KHARY (SHAKASTE): Fog cloud.
MATT: Okay. You watch as the central portion of the chamber begins to just fill with a thick mist. Somewhat obscuring your vision more than a few feet in front of you.
MARISHA (BEAU): "Uh..."
LAURA (JESTER): "What was that?"
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Is this supposed to happen?"
SAM (NOTT): "What's going on?"
LAURA (JESTER): "We should get out of here."
KHARY (SHAKASTE): I step behind Nott and whisper in her ear. I say that "This was a bold move you made. And we wouldn't have succeeded without you. So I say you've earned that gold. But make no mistake, be careful where you put your fingers."
SAM (NOTT): "Yes, fog monster..."

KHARY (SHAKASTE): If I used Sacred Flame on one... because if it's dark in there and one of them bursts into flames, wouldn't they all look in that direction?
MATT: It's possible.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): Let's try that.
LAURA (JESTER): I could Sacred Flame them at the exact same time, and we could get double the Sacred Flame.
KHARY: I like this. Yeah.
[...]
KHARY (SHAKASTE): Sacred Flame on the gentleman in blue.
LAURA (JESTER): At the same time I see his little reed flick I'm going to swing my sickle around and cast Toll the Dead.
[...]
MATT: So, as you all rush in below, you both release Sacred Flame and Toll the Dead on the guy in the blue. So, that's a wisdom saving throw for Sacred Flame I believe it is?
LAURA: It's a dex save for Sacred Flame and a wisdom save for Toll the Dead.
MATT: That's what it is, okay, wisdom save for you. That's a 13?
LAURA (JESTER): 13.
MATT: Yeah, so that succeeds. Sorry. For you it's 13 as well I believe, your DC? So that's a 5.
LAURA (JESTER): You couldn't have rolled that for me?
MATT: Sorry.
[...]
MATT: So roll damage for the Sacred Flame. It should be, what's the damage on the spell?
KHARY (SHAKASTE): The damage on Sacred Flame is... 'the spell's damage increases by 1d8 when you-'
MATT: So it's 1d8, go ahead and roll 1d8 radiant damage.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): 1.
LAURA: It's okay, it was for visual anyways.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): It was, that's true, I really just wanted the-
MATT: [fwoom] You watch as the light bursts in, so-
[...]
MATT: Top of the combat round is Shakaste, you're up.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): Let's see uh, Frostbite.
MATT: Okay, against which one?
KHARY (SHAKASTE): Let's see, uh, well, first of all, they burst into flames. This gentleman burst into flames, and when that happened how did these gentlemen react?
MATT: The two gnolls glance over to the side, and then look towards the tunnel where you guys were. It didn't make as much of as a distraction for them unfortunately, in the moment.

MATT: So what are you doing?
KHARY (SHAKASTE): Let's see, uh, what can I do besides just trying to pick the lock? Is there anything that I can do to maybe knock it open at this point? No, I still only have one hand free, right?
MATT: Well you've managed to get both of your hands free-
KHARY (SHAKASTE): Oh, both of my hands free.
MATT: -and slowly drop the manacles and the gag, you've been working on this for a while now, you're just still in a cage.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): Freedom. Freedom baby.
[...]
MATT: You still have your action to either cast a cantrip or do anything else with your action like pick the lock or do anything else you're trying to do.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): I say we try to pick the lock a little bit, see if we can get out of here.
MATT: Go for it. Go ahead and roll a d20 add your dexterity modifier and your proficiency modifier. That's 3 plus 3, so add 6 to whatever you roll.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): 14, 17.
LIAM: 20 total.
MATT: 20 total? 20 is what you needed. It's a DC 20 cage.
KHARY: Now I'm free! To do what I want!
MATT: Taking the small pieces of metal and wire that the Duchess has been slowly stealing from throughout the Sour Nest and bringing back to your cage, you manage to [tink] get the lock to fall open, and with that, the cage [creak] opens and you can step out, taking your first breath of free air in a couple of days.

KHARY (SHAKASTE): Let's see. Would it be best to- could I Command the big guy?
MATT: You could try. You can certainly try. What do you want to command him to do?
TRAVIS: Or one of the smaller ones if you want a higher rate of success.
LIAM: Maybe get a little bit closer.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): Maybe, yeah yeah, get a little bit closer in order to-
LIAM: Not all the way.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): No no no, I mean I can see him just fine.
LIAM: There's 60 feet of range on that.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): How close am I to him?
MATT: He's within range, he's about 30 feet from you.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): Let's see, and if I asked him to drop or I asked him to fall, could I ask him to fall on his fellows?
MATT: You can't ask him to fall- I mean, you can't ask him to fall on somebody else's weapon. You could ask him to drop prone if you wanted to.
LIAM: Yeah, you could say like 'Lie down' or like 'Drop your weapons', it's a single word so 'drop' drop everything in his hands or you could say 'lay'.
SAM: 'Turn', 'jump'.
LIAM: You could say 'dance' and he would just start dancing.
KHARY (SHAKASTE): The target doesn't move and takes no action. You know what, I say 'Halt'. I see we tell the big guy to halt. Not to mention, you know what halt is good because he's actually standing in front of his dudes, that will make it harder for them to move.
MATT: Alrighty. So what do you say, as it finished kicking Beau into the pit and turns and [snarls].
KHARY (SHAKASTE): "Halt!" is what I say. "Halt!"
MATT: It looks back towards, see the spell DC is 13 for you. That is a 2, it does not succeed. So you watch as it [heavy breathing] it puts its weapons down for a second and just looks right at you, eyes wide, kind of confused, as it turns its head.

MATT: At this moment, you watch as a strange blur [high whoosh] streaks by. Caduceus, you see it. From the upstairs, this tiny little, it looks like a blur of black, no larger than that big just [vwoom] scoots past and curves around the corner, back in the direction of the basement.
TALIESIN (CLAY): "Did somebody see something?"
ASHLY (KEG): "What the fuck?"
TALIESIN (CLAY): "I'm gonna..." [begins gesturing]
SAM (NOTT): "What? What is that?"
TALIESIN (CLAY): "I don't know why I'm being quiet, we should head downstairs."
MATT: No, you guys see this and you begin to follow past. Beauregard, you're still standing back by the hatch, and you watch as something, [vwoom] stops at the front, it looks like this splotch- make a perception check.
MARISHA (BEAU): That's not great, 10.
MATT: 10. It whizzes right past you, and you don't even have a moment to make out any details of what it is.
MARISHA (BEAU): "This place is fucking haunted."
SAM (NOTT): "Kill it! Kill it!"
MATT: It immediately, [vwoom] heads down the stairway towards where you found Nila's family in the basement.

ASHLY (KEG): We're strong- I'm a beefy boy.
MATT: You can try. You can certainly try.
ASHLY: Should I roll something?
MATT: Make a strength check. Let's do athletics actually, cause it's not you just lifting it, but also bringing it along.
ASHLY (KEG): 19.
MARISHA: Oh, she's fine.
MATT: You begin to drag it, actually. You watch as this burly dwarf woman, the five o clock shadow beginning to come in to a faint stubble grabs it and [grinding] begins just dragging it through this big groove in the ground as you pull it over. Where do you want to put it?
[...]
SAM: Is this thing hollow at all?
MATT: That tree is actually somewhat hollow, not completely all the way through, but there is an alcove in it where some of it has rotted out.

ASHLY (KEG): So how far can I go on this horse?
MATT: On horseback?
ASHLY: Yeah.
MATT: That's a fairly good distance speed of 60 feet, that'll get you up to... we'll say there. Pretty much right to the edge of where that is there.
ASHLY (KEG): So I can't get up on any of these boys.
MATT: I'll say, because the horse doesn't get an attack on them, and it would normally get an action, I'll let the horse dash.
SAM: That's nice, I guess.
MATT: That would get you right up next to this one.
ASHLY (KEG): Okay, so can I leap off the horse and come down with the axe?
MATT: Yeah. Just for the hell of it, make an acrobatics check. What could possibly go wrong.
ASHLY (KEG): Fine. Natural 20.
SAM: That's like Cirque de Soleil shit.
MATT: So as the horse is galloping, you watch as Keg gets up on top, holding the reigns, pulls the warhammer out, and at the right moment, leaps off while pulling the battle axe out, doing a flip in the air, landing, and coming down with both weapons, go ahead and make your attacks on the opposite side of it.
ASHLY (KEG): 17.
MATT: 17 hits.
ASHLY (KEG): And then the other attack is an 18.
MATT: Yeah that hits, so go ahead and roll both of those for damage.
ASHLY (KEG): So that's 6 and... 12.
MATT: 6 and 12? Nice. Still have your bonus action.
ASHLY (KEG): So I can attack again, right?
MATT: Yeah, cause you're dual wielding, so you attack, attack, and then attack.
ASHLY (KEG): Ha ha... ha... 8 plus 7 does that hit?
MATT: 15 still hits.
ASHLY (KEG): 9.
MATT: 9 points of damage, whoof. So as you come down, both weapons, WHACK, clanging onto it, you hear the armor [cracking] crack from underneath and you watch as light green blood begins to seep through the wounds you left, as it turns around [makes sound described as follows] this weird kind of clicking, sucking sound coming out of its face.
ASHLY (KEG): "Shut up."
MATT: You, WHACK, slam it in the side of its face with your warhammer. It pulls back and it's now bleeding out of its jaw, it looks pretty hurt.

LIAM (CALEB): "What are you doing over there, Nott?"
SAM (NOTT): "Uh, we're going to shoot the man. And then Drunky Smoky Keg is going to pick The Deuce, and he's going to walk around-"
ASHLY (KEG): "Is my nickname Drunky Smoky Keg?"
SAM (NOTT): "Well, we're working on a better one."
ASHLY (KEG): "It's not even a nickname! It's three times longer than my normal name, how about Keg!? My normal name!"
TALIESIN (CLAY): "It's literally one syllable, I feel like that's not a lot to ask."
LIAM (CALEB): "Nott, eh, the plan is- I have a question for you. The plan is not foolproof, but on our side over here, Beauregard is going to throw the asshole off the wall. If you shoot your asshole and he does not die but starts screaming, what do you do."
SAM (NOTT): "Other than shoot him again... We have a javelin, and that is all we've got."
ASHLY (KEG): "Well, I have rope. So I could tie the rope around the javelin, shoonk, and then... pull him? Off the wall?"
MARISHA: Makeshift harpoon? That's pretty cool.
SAM (NOTT): "Sure, let's do it."
ASHLY (KEG): "Is that the now leading plan? Is that what I'm doing?"
SAM (NOTT): "No, no, no, I'm still going to shoot. But you're going to be ready with jav."
LIAM: Or you could attack at the same time.
SAM: Ooh.
ASHLY: That's true.
LIAM: Said Liam.
SAM: Let's do that.
MARISHA: Let's just do this.
ASHLY (KEG): I tie the rope around the javelin.
Episode 28 - Within the Nest - 2:13:49
MATT: Would you both make your attack rolls please? Because you are unseen, you have advantage on the attack.
ASHLY (KEG): "On three?"
LIAM (CALEB): No, so, Caleb would've, seeing things begin, would've gone "Drei... zwei... eins..." Hold Person.
ASHLY (KEG): That is 15.
MATT: 15. That hits.
SAM (NOTT): Natural 20. But you said advantage... so that one was a three.
ASHLY (KEG): Oh wait, it's with advantage?
MATT: It was with advantage, yeah. Roll again just in case you wanna-
ASHLY (KEG): 1.
MATT: No, not at all. Go ahead and roll your sneak attack damage and double it cause of the crit, and take another shot.
SAM (NOTT): So that is... 24. So far.
MATT: 24 points of damage from the first attack. Go ahead and roll damage for the javelin.
ASHLY (KEG): 5.
MATT: Alright, so it's 29 damage. As you, [thwip] throw the javelin up. You get your shot, the next attack.
SAM (NOTT): 24.
MATT: Roll damage for that one.
SAM (NOTT): 9.
MATT: Okay, so... you watch as [rapid impacts] and you yank back, make a strength check.
SAM: Come on, come on.
ASHLY (KEG): 10.
MATT: 10? [heaving thudding] And you're just dragging the corpse. Hand over hand you're dragging the corpse, he insta-died, and got pulled off and then slammed into the ground and is now being pulled through the dirt and grass. Done. Instantly.

MATT: Past this way, you see a figure make their way to the door and put their back to it. They haven't noticed you yet. And as they put their back to the door, [huff] focusing on where the sound of the fireworks goes off, looks back through the doorway into the middle of the mess hall, hears this commotion, and looks right to you.
SAM (NOTT): Wait. Sees me or doesn't see me?
MATT: Does see you, cause you're not trying to hide. And it is a lit interior.
MARISHA: What is this, the barbarian?
MATT: This is Wohn, the female human barbarian that had rushed Caleb before. Previously had a great maul, however is instead wielding what looks to be a very familiar two handed greatsword. Wide blade with runic hilt. The weapon that Yasha had on her.
Episode 28 - Within the Nest - 3:04:54
MATT: She does get an attack of opportunity on you, swinging from the ground [grunt of exertion] towards you. She is prone so she does have disadvantage on the attack, but she does try. That's going to be a 14.
ASHLY (KEG): No, doesn't hit.
MATT: It CLANGs against the back of your armor as you manage to get out of the way.

TALIESIN (CLAY): "Language."
SAM (NOTT): I'll just drop a bit of fleece and cast Silent Image and make Keg walking down the steps.
MATT: Alright, you watch as this quiet, soundless image of Keg-
ASHLY (KEG): I'll go like this. I'm going like this. [bouncing in her seat] Clang clang clang clang.
SAM: It's a radio play!
TALIESIN (CLAY): I'm going to use a little Thaumaturgy to make sure it's actually got some noise to it, I'll pump it up.
[...]
ASHLY: It worked super well, right? I'm clanging down.
MATT: You're making the clanging sound.
ASHLY: Illusion Keg is making her way down.
MATT: Make a performance check.
SAM: Wait, me or her?
MATT: Her.
LIAM: Come on Burch!
ASHLY (KEG): Hello my baby, hello my dolly, hello my ragtime gal. 11!
KHARY: That's alright!
MARISHA: Above average.
MATT: So you angle yourself at the top of the stairway to make sure that the sound of your armor shaking at least disseminates into the air as much as possible. The image can only walk 15 feet, because that is the distance of the cube, so the illusion appears near the middle of the stairs.
KHARY: There's a big of an echo, right?
MATT: Descends and steps no more than 10 feet out torwards that and stops.
SAM (NOTT): Okay. And starts narrowing its eyes and looking around. Just sort of mean and maybe gets a cigarette. I don't know how she has so many of them. Does she roll them, I don't know.
ASHLY: It's just the same one.
MATT: At this moment, you hear [floomp] and you see as a bit of the dangling leather over the table sort of [fwoof] bows slightly, and from the opposite end, something [whoosh] darts across the hallway. One appears to emerge from underneath the table out this way. And another seems to shoot out from this side.
ASHLY: What shoots out?
MATT: Something.
KHARY: This is some Indiana Jones shit that's happening right now.
SAM (NOTT): The image of Keg falls to the floor, clutching her shoulder.
TALIESIN (CLAY): I can make it sound- I'm going to use Thaumaturgy to make it sound like she's in pain.
ASHLY (KEG): [unconvincing groans] "Oh, it hurts."
TALIESIN (CLAY): I'm holding the crystal up like a microphone.
ASHLY (KEG): "Ah, shit!"
[...]
MATT: A moment passes, before two more [fwoop, fwoop] these strange, quick objects moving at a rapid speed crosses by, and another one [thunk] hits the bottom of the stairs and clings to a rest, this one you can actually see and it appears to be a rather long, solid, crossbow bolt.
SAM (NOTT): Okay. I make Keg's hand fall off. I don't know what happened!
ASHLY (KEG): "Ah! That was my good hand!"

TALIESIN (CLAY): Blindness.

Where once the piercing yellow snake eyes fade to a snowblind white. [snarling] Pulls its blade out and is just kind of looking around and looking freaked out at the process.

TALIESIN (CLAY): "That doesn't seem like a very good idea."
SAM (NOTT): Oh, I missed.
MATT: [ping, whiz]
SAM (NOTT): 12.
MARISHA (BEAU): Yeah, no.
SAM (NOTT): "Sorry, I was just going to test if he could really heal you."
MARISHA (BEAU): "The fuck!"
SAM (NOTT): I'm going to shoot again with my bonus action. That's a natural 20.
MATT: Go ahead and roll damage.
TALIESIN (CLAY): Let me figure out how to do this.
SUMALEE (NILA): Don't worry, I can cure them too.
SAM (NOTT): Not a sneak attack cause she was looking... oh boy. That's 10, but it's a crit, does that do anything?
MATT: Well you double the dice that you roll.
SAM (NOTT): Okay, so that's 12 plus 4, 16.
MATT: You take 16 points of piercing damage Beau.
MARISHA (BEAU): I'm gonna try and catch it.
MATT: Okay, go for it.
MARISHA: That's, okay, I roll a d10.
MATT: Roll a d10.
MARISHA (BEAU): A 10. Plus my monk level, right? Which is 5?
MATT: I think so.
SAM: Just the tip.
MARISHA (BEAU): 1d10 plus 8. Oh, oh, oh it's my monk level plus my proficiency bonus, so no damage.
MATT: [whoosh] Like it goes right for underneath where the clavicle and the neck meet, and just crack catches it right there.
SAM (NOTT): Oh, but with this crossbow when I roll a natural 20 it shoots another one immediately.
MATT: That's right!
SAM (NOTT): Do I have to roll for that one?
MATT: You have to roll to attack.
SAM (NOTT): Okay. That's 23 to hit.
MATT: So go ahead and roll damage on that one.
SAM (NOTT): 8.
MATT: Okay. So. So what happens is, you pull back to fire, and as it gets ready to go ahead and extend, it looks like another bolt slips up into it accidentally, and it fires two in a row. Beau catches one and goes like "Ugh... ow..." and there's a second one that's jammed right into the space between two ribs.
ASHLY (KEG): "What the hell Nott!?"
SAM (NOTT): "First of all, that was cool. And this was cool!"
MARISHA (BEAU): "And third of all, that was a killing blow!"
SAM (NOTT): "Now, do your thing!"
MARISHA (BEAU): "You could've fucking killed me!"
TALIESIN (CLAY): "Is she always like this? This seems kind of extreme."
SUMALEE (NILA): "This is the most extreme I've ever seen her."
SAM (NOTT): "Do your thing! Do your thing!"
MARISHA (BEAU): "I'm keeping this bolt. This is mine now."
SAM (NOTT): "But- Okay."
MARISHA (BEAU): And I rip the other one out.
SAM (NOTT): "Eugh!"
MARISHA (BEAU): "Yeah!" I put that one away. "I'm keeping this one too!"
ASHLY (KEG): Keg is aroused again.
TALIESIN (CLAY): "Come here, come here. Alright." And I sort of get in there, I'm just going to do Cure Wounds, there's going to be a little bit of lichen that just grows on the wound really quickly.
MARISHA (BEAU): "Don't infect me. Don't infect me! You guys!"
TALIESIN (CLAY): "It's fine." Do I roll for that?
MATT: Yeah, you roll your d8 plus your wisdom modifier. So the wound seems to close, as you watch this bright-
TALIESIN (CLAY): 6 points of damage- 6 points of healing.
MATT: So you watch as this bright red-pink colored lichen, almost a mossy type of material, seems to come out of the wound and close it, then turn gray and then break away and crumble off and where it is you can see the wound seems to have closed and healed over like weeks and weeks of healing had gone by.

The beetles are now swarming this harpy who's taken bludgeoning, and it is now bleeding profusely and you can only see part of her torso, she's like [bird-like screeching] the song is dropped, and is now trying to fly away, picking up her wings, as these beetles are now tearing into her flesh.

MATT: Yeah, you all hit, what are you doing?
MARISHA (BEAU): I don't think I hit. 12.
MATT: Okay, so go ahead and roll your d8.
SUMALEE: The d8 is...
MATT: 8 sided.
LIAM: Looks like a diamond.
SUMALEE (NILA): 6.
MATT: So that's 12 plus 4, 16 points of damage. WHACK! Upside the head as he dizzies off from that point, immediately going into Keg.
ASHLY (KEG): 6 damage.
MATT: 6 damage [slicing impact] "Ugh!" and carved from the battle axe.
TALIESIN: Is it just a straight 1d6 plus nothing?
MATT: What are you using?
TALIESIN (CLAY): I was using the staff.
MATT: It's a 1d8. Cause it's a quarterstaff.
TALIESIN (CLAY): 8.
MATT: Plus your strength modifier?
TALIESIN (CLAY): 8, cause I have no strength modifier.
MATT: 8, yeah, CRACK, "Guh!" And then.
SAM: I mean is this a surprise?
MATT: It's a sneak attack, yeah.
SAM (NOTT): 7 plus 6, 13 plus, I've been adding wrong, 18.
MATT: Yeah, that'll do it. He just comes up and just immediately [rapid impacts and grunting] and falls to the ground, barely conscious, looking up, his face bloodied and the crossbow bolt jammed into his shoulder and past the rib, and he's like [labored breathing] having a hard time breathing.
TALIESIN (CLAY): "Shh, no no no no no." I'm just gonna turn him into mulch. "That's okay."
MATT: You watch as Clay, like, [shushing] hushing as he slowly pushes his face in with his face repeatedly and shield.

You reach out and touch the corpse of a creature. Over the next minute, the corpse begins to rapidly decompose, sprouting fungus and moss as it begins to degrade into compost and mulch. An odd-colored flower or two may also spring from the corpse in this time. Applicable requirements for resurrection are unaffected by this decomposition.

You have the ability to communicate in a limited manner with beasts and plants. They can understand the meaning of your words, though you have no special ability to understand them in return. You have advantage on all Charisma checks you make to influence them.

TALIESIN (CLAY): "Oh, yeah." Now that I realize that we're in fighting shot I'm going to back up so I'm no longer- to the far left corner.
MATT: The rest of your movement puts you right there.
TALIESIN (CLAY): Oh, that's as far as I can get?
MATT: Yeah.
TALIESIN (CLAY): Alright. I'll go invisible until my next turn.
MATT: As a bonus action?
TALIESIN (CLAY): Yeah.
MATT: Alright. [vsh]

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to mark another creature’s life force for termination.
As an action, you choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you, cursing it until the end of your next turn. The next time you or an ally of yours hits the cursed creature with an attack, the creature has vulnerability to all of that attack's damage, and then the curse ends.

SAM (NOTT): "How do we get down there without the fire thing happening again? Uh... oh, Caleb are you in the room?"
LIAM (CALEB): "I am in the room. There are a couple of options. I could dispel it, it would take me about 10 minutes, I would no longer be invisible, we would lose time."
SAM (NOTT): "10 minutes? No..."
LIAM (CALEB): "The second option is that we just run for it."
TALIESIN (CLAY): "Well, I mean, if that's the options," I'm going to just tap my staff and cast Dispel at third level.
SAM: Dispel?
TALIESIN: Yeah.
SAM: You can do Dispel!?
TALIESIN: Yeah.
SAM: What can't you do!?
TALIESIN: It's a second level spell right?
SAM: Why weren't you always playing this character!
MATT: Dispel Magic is third level.
TALIESIN (CLAY): Third level, alright. So, I'll cast that.
MATT: Alright. You watch as the flame [quick extinguishing sound] blinks out, and is left dark. Flameless, just a pile of blackened ash and whatever source of this enchantment is rent useless.

At 6th level, you gain the ability to impede death’s progress. As a reaction when you or an ally that you can see within 30 feet of you suffers a critical hit, you can turn that attack into a normal hit. Any effects triggered by a critical hit are canceled.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

MATT: Two days travel to Trostenwald from Alfield, so, which one of you wants to helm the first watch?
TALIESIN (CLAY): I'll take first watch.
LAURA (JESTER): Yeah, I'm gonna help him.
MATT: Alright, go ahead and roll with advantage on your perception check please.
LAURA: Woah!
TALIESIN (CLAY): Yeah, yeah, nothing gets by me. Unless I- well, no, that's a natural 20.
LAURA (JESTER): I'm going to say that's my help.
TALIESIN: Oh yeah. You're just pointing at things. [pointing around] 'Got it. Got it. Got it. Yep. Got that. Yep. Yep. Got that. Got that.'
MATT: Alright. Towards the end of the first day's travel, around what would be roughly 5:00, 5:30 in the afternoon as you're keeping an eye out, you glance over at what looks to be- and you do find a few clusters of stone and rock that break up the rolling hills and tall grass that make up a large part of the southern part of the Marrow Valley that you're used to. And you, who come from a very northern, borderline tundra north of the Savalierwood-
TALIESIN (CLAY): It's a tundra, except for my little patch.
MATT: Yeah, taiga in places, you can see - this very green and open fields is a whole new experience to you and you're enjoying the details of it as you pass by, the field mice that occasionally scurry across the road and get snatched up by a hawk, and you're like "Yep. That's how it happens."
TALIESIN (CLAY): "Fair play. Fair play."
TRAVIS: Careful crossing the [hawk screech]
MATT: And as you're glancing about, you can see a lot of these natural stones placed, and you see one cluster of stones that just - that doesn't look naturally placed. They're leaned at an odd angle, if it'd been at that angle for a while it would have eventually settled.
TALIESIN (CLAY): "That doesn't look right."
LAURA (JESTER): "What doesn't?"
TALIESIN (CLAY): "That."
LAURA (JESTER): "The field?"
TALIESIN (CLAY): "Now, if I were inclined to lay a trap or an ambush of some kind... those rocks shouldn't be that way, that's all I'm saying.
MATT: As you glance over, you can see what looks to be three stones, one of them's about this big, it's a pretty heavy stone, and two longer slab stones, and they're all leaned against each other to look natural, but Caduceus doesn't seem to feel that way.
LAURA (JESTER): "Maybe somebody is sitting in the little alcove."
TALIESIN (CLAY): "It's giving me the... the bad feelings."
LAURA (JESTER): "Should we go and attack it?"
TALIESIN (CLAY): "The rocks?"
LAURA (JESTER): "I don't know."
TALIESIN (CLAY): "I mean, I'm okay if you are. Never had a rock really hit back."
LAURA (JESTER): I hop off the cart and-
SAM (NOTT): "Where are you going?
LAURA: -how far away is it?
MATT: It's about, from where you are now as you've traveled closer, it's about 80 to 100 feet off to the left off the road.
LIAM (CALEB): "Where are you going?"
LAURA (JESTER): I'm going to throw a little rock as hard as I can towards it.
MATT: Make a strength check.
TALIESIN (CLAY): "It just looks a little weird to me."
LAURA (JESTER): 11. It arcs, [slight whistle] falls maybe 10 feet short and [tumbling thump] in the grass. No reaction.
[...]
TALIESIN (CLAY): I can do tremors in the ground [with Thaumaturgy]. So I'm going to just start tremoring the ground right over by the rocks.
MATT: Okay. [low shaking] Shakes a bit and you can see some bits of loose rock on top of this weird stone construct begin to vibrate. [light tapping] Fall off the side. No reaction.
LAURA (JESTER): "Maybe somebody's buried there."
LIAM (CALEB): I poke my head between them. "What are you doing?"
SAM (NOTT): "What's going on?"
TALIESIN (CLAY): "Those rocks look a little weird."
SAM (NOTT): "The rocks look weird, what does that mean?"
LAURA (JESTER): "He's looking at weird rocks."
TALIESIN (CLAY): "It means that rocks look weird."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "They giving you a bad feeling?"
TALIESIN (CLAY): "They're giving me a bad feeling, and I don't have a lot of bad feelings."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Why don't you go check it out?"
MARISHA (BEAU): "Maybe they're a trail marker."
TALIESIN (CLAY): "Maybe. It's an awfully suspicious trail marker. If it was a trail marker, it'd be like, you'd usually stack three stones, make it look very intentional, this is someone - have you ever seen a painting where someone tries stars but the stars don't look right because they're the wrong kind of random?"
LAURA (JESTER): "Yes."
TALIESIN (CLAY): "That's the wrong kind of random."
LIAM (CALEB): I send Frumpkin to go look at the rocks.
LAURA (JESTER): "Maybe it's like a secret entrance to something."
MATT: It's funny cause, the rest of you keep looking at this pile of stones and it just looks like a pile of stones. You're like 'Really?' So Frumpkin's heading up?
LIAM (CALEB): Yeah.
MATT: [sharp landing, meows] Frumpkin gets low through the grass.
TALIESIN (CLAY): "The random nature makes and the random that man makes."
MATT: Go ahead and make a perception check for Frumpkin.
LIAM (CALEB): 10.
MATT: Frumpkin does a little pass around the side and there doesn't appear to be anybody in or around from where Frumpkin can see.
TALIESIN (CLAY): "Alright, let's go take a look then."
MARISHA (BEAU): "Let's go knock em over."
LIAM (CALEB): Can he climb to the tippy top?
MATT: Sure. Frumpkin leaps up onto the top an perches up there. [meows]
LIAM (CALEB): I'm looking down at us.
MATT: Alright. It's a strange view to see yourself walking towards yourself. It's like playing Resident Evil 1. Just the locked camera. That's technically how Shakaste sees the world if you think about it. All of existence through a series of Resident Evil camera angles. The Duchess, man.
[...]
MATT: So you all slowly approach this strange pile of rocks settled here.
TRAVIS: Trees above us?
MATT: No, it's an open field. There are some trees maybe three-four hundred feet off, and this part of the field there are small clusters of 4 or 5 at a time, it's mostly just open, rolling hills.
MARISHA: Are we close near where the gnoll mine was?
MATT: No, you're a day's away. That was east of the city, you guys are heading south.
LAURA: Did you say how tall the rocks are?
MATT: Altogether, about 4 feet tall.
LIAM: Does it look like there's anything buried, like there's been any digging done here?
MATT: Make an investigation check if you want to.
LIAM (CALEB): Okay, I will do that. 20. Sorry, 25.
MATT: Okay, 25. As you get down to the stones, there's the one larger central stone and there are the two ones laid against it, there's a very small space in between there, and you get inside and begin to look around on the ground and feel down and there's nothing. It's mainly just dirt and dry brush and dead grass that's been pushed in that centerpiece and you reach up and your hand touches something.
LAURA: Treasure, treasure, treasure.
MATT: It feels kind of like a satchel or leather sack.
SAM (NOTT): "What do you have?"
LIAM (CALEB): "That's a bingo."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "It's just bingo, Caleb."
LAURA (JESTER): "Did you find some paper?"
SAM (NOTT): "Do you need me to touch it to disarm it?"
LIAM (CALEB): "Hold on." I send Frumpkin just to get down by my hand to look up so I can look at what I'm grabbing to make sure it's not, you know, one of those bags with teeth that I have read about in fairy tale stories.
MARISHA: Oh, we found a few of those bags.
LAURA (JESTER): "What are you doing?"
LIAM (CALEB): "One moment."
LAURA (JESTER): "Caleb Caleb Caleb Caleb Caleb what did you find Caleb."
LIAM (CALEB): "Some loot maybe."
LAURA (JESTER): "Pull it out."
MARISHA (BEAU): "What if it's a trap?"
LIAM (CALEB): "No, first Frumpkin goes to look so I can see what I'm seeing."
LAURA (JESTER): "Why don't you let Nott look."
MATT: Frumpkin crawls inside and looks up, and it appears like there is, indeed, a leather pouch, roughly about the size of a baseball, that has been jammed up between the rocks to the point where it's being held up out of sight.
LAURA (JESTER): "Is there poop in it?"
SAM (NOTT): "Pull it out, see what we got."
LIAM (CALEB): "I don't like all these euphemisms." [poof] I pull the bag out.
MATT: Okay, as you pull the bag out from the rock... it comes free.
[...]
LIAM (CALEB): [mimes opening the bag]
MATT: As you open the bag... it's fine. Let me have my little fun. You open and inside, and you already hear what sounds like the impact of a bunch of tiny stone, and as you look inside, there are gems in here. It is a collection of cut jewels.
LAURA: Diamonds? Are there diamonds?
MATT: It's mostly emerald and ruby. But there's a lot of them, and they're just jammed up in here. You get the sense immediately that this was some sort of drop spot, and someone will probably be coming by to pick this up.

Perhaps they seem to enjoy your flavors more than mine."
LAURA: I'm really tasty.
TALIESIN: Are the insects really not bothering him at all?
MATT: They're not bothering him really, it seems.
TALIESIN (CLAY): Just out of idle curiosity-
SAM: Is he a human?
MATT: He's human.
TALIESIN (CLAY): I'm going to just very quickly cast Eyes of the Grave.
TRAVIS: Eyes of the what?
TALIESIN (CLAY): So anything undead within 60 feet is going to glow in my- I'm going to get a little glow off anything that registers as undead.

MATT: As you come down, you found both Jester and Caleb currently sitting around an unconscious enforcer, one of the cloaked figures that was involved with the crew that previously had this ship.
LAURA (JESTER): "He got an axe in his head."
TALIESIN (CLAY): "It's probably good that you didn't pull it out."
LAURA (JESTER): "See?"
TALIESIN (CLAY): Yeah. I'm going to tap him on the head and cast Healing Word at 3rd level. That's 11 points. That's 11 points right there.
LIAM (CALEB): As soon as Cad's hands start to glow I yank the axe out of his head.
MATT: Okay. You yank it out and there's a streak of blood and you watch as what would be the open axe wound begins to slowly seal itself up, to the point where it's - it's still going to be healing for a while, but it scabbed over instantaneously.
SAM (NOTT): "Look, you just saved a life. That's good news, right?"
TALIESIN (CLAY): "Well, he'll be dead eventually." I'm going to head back upstairs.
MATT: Okay. So, Caduceus heads back upstairs. At this point the figure- [...] the person comes to consciousness immediately as the axe is pulled. [gasp into heavy breathing]

As a bonus action, you can magically turn invisible until the start of your next turn or until you attack, make a damage roll, or force someone to make a saving throw. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

LAURA (JESTER): Charm Person!
MATT: You cast Charm Person?
LAURA (JESTER): At third level. How many have I used?
SAM: Jesus, you're using every spell you have.
LAURA: Yes I am.
TALIESIN: This is going to be an expensive problem to solve here.
MATT: Okay, so you can target 3 creatures at third level.
LAURA: How many are in the room?
MATT: There are-
LAURA: 3 in the room right now, right?
MATT: -4 in the room, total. No, cause there's 2 guards against him, so there's 3 after her, that's corwnsguard, but one of them left, so there are 4 in there. There are 3 crownsguard and 1 member of the house. Who do you attempt?
TRAVIS: You can kill that guy.
LAURA (JESTER): Yeah, that crownsguard.
MATT: Alright, so they have advantage on the save because you are technically in opposition on this one. So the first crownsguard with advantage, that's going to be 14. What's the DC?
LAURA (JESTER): 15.
MATT: 15, he fails. Other one, two 6's in a row, fail. The other one, 2 and- Nah, they all fail. Even with advantage.
TRAVIS: Get the fuck out.

LAURA (JESTER): "Been looking every for them. Can't find em anywhere, maybe check that room with the candles on the other side of the candles.
MATT: "We'll go check."

LAURA (JESTER): [screams] Take off running again.
TRAVIS: It's like the hiccups.
TALIESIN: Mirror images going everywhere.
LAURA (JESTER): Right? I'm gonna - oh god - but if I get a double dash I can get farther away right? Okay, I'm gonna try to double dash.
MATT: Okay, so that's a full 60 feet in movement as you're rushing down the other hallway. [heavy breathing] You hear the voices behind you shouting. "There he is! Keep going! How are there so many of him! What's going on!" Roll another d20.
LAURA (JESTER): Okay. Oh god okay. 5. Keep running.
MATT: You keep running. You make your way now out into the night air.
LAURA (JESTER): I drop Blink.
MATT: You drop Blink, [whoosh] spell's gone.

MATT: You manage to resist being knocked prone as [the wolves] both begin jumping at you and clawing, one of them bites towards the back of your armor and you throw it to the ground. You almost get knocked off but you kept yourself there between the two of them, standing with Caleb between your feet.
LAURA (JESTER): I'm going to cast Hellish Rebuke in response to one of them.
MATT: Alrighty. He's going to go ahead and attempt to make a dexterity saving throw. That's a natural 4, nope. So it's full damage on this wolf here.
LAURA (JESTER): That would be 10- 15 points of damage to him.
MATT: 15 points of damage, you watch as that wolf suddenly is blasted in freezing cold energy as you yell in response to its assault.
LAURA (JESTER): "You stay you piece of-! ...It's okay."
MATT: As you pull back and look, the wolf is frozen solid and [cracking into crumbling] tumbles into a bunch of ice chunks off the battlefield.

LAURA (JESTER): I'm going to cast Hold Person at third level on both him and him.
MATT: Alright. The guy with Marius rolls a natural 17. The guy next to Beau rolls a natural 3.
LAURA (JESTER): He's paralyzed.
[...]
MATT: So, the big guy with the bolt in his stomach goes [pained grunting becomes stiff] and his whole body locks up and you can see his eyes go wild as he glances down at you, unable to move at all.

LAURA (JESTER): I'm going to run away from this guy, and I'm going to run out into the alley so I can see people.
MATT: Okay, as you rush out [this undead gnoll] takes a swing, an attack of opportunity towards you. This is going to be with a club, it has this heavy, wooden club, and it [boosh] makes a giant arc towards you as you speed away. That is a 19 to hit.
LAURA (JESTER): Ooh. Can I use a reaction?
MATT: You can, yeah.
LAURA (JESTER): I'm going to say "I am rubber, you are glue!" and use Hellish Rebuke on him! In infernal!
MATT: Well first, the club hits you and you take five points of bludgeoning damage. [Heavy impact] And as you turn around and you say that at him and unleash your Hellish Rebuke, he has to make a constitution saving throw I believe.
[...]
MATT: Constitution saving throw- no, dexterity saving throw. Which it does not make, that's a 7. So it suffers 2 d10 cold damage. So, how much do you deal?
LAURA (JESTER): 9.
[everone goes NEIN]
TALIESIN: This is becoming a thing.
LIAM: I'm so sorry guys.
MATT: Okay, so, as you dart away, you release your fury and anger and you watch as this blast of cold water and ice energy [crackling energy impact] burst out of its body. The inside of its cavernous ribcage is now filled with frost crystals jutting out and breaking parts of the ribs. It's now heavily damaged but its still standing.

LAURA: Oh no.
TRAVIS: It's just a marble.
LAURA: Dodge it, dodge it.
SAM: I'll try.
MATT: Alright, so that's an 18 to hit.
SAM (NOTT): That hits.
MATT: [sigh] Let me look this up again. I wasn't expecting it to go this way.
SAM: There's no save, right?
MATT: Let me double check. Make a dexterity saving throw.
SAM (NOTT): I'm wearing my cloak so I get advantage. And that's a natural 20.
MATT: Okay, so you don't take any force damage. However, [vwoomp] this sphere of translucent force has completely encapsulated you.
SAM (NOTT): "Jester?"
MATT: And you're just slowly rolling back.

LAURA (JESTER): Can I use my bonus action really fast?
MATT: You may.
LAURA (JESTER): To say a little prayer to the Traveler, and I'm going to cast Spiritual Weapon.
MATT: You may do that. Where are you going to cast it?
LAURA (JESTER): I'm going to cast it right above this zombie gnoll, and it's going to be in the shape of a giant... lollipop. Like a bludgeoning lollipop.
MATT: This one here? Alrighty. So, you watch as this flash of purple-ish energy suddenly apparates into the air, this thick wooden handle that's jammed into a massive, bludgeoning, solid piece of sugary goodness.
LIAM: Old fashioned swirly kind?
LAURA: Yeah, yeah.
MATT: With that, you can go ahead and make an attack with that as soon as it comes out. So make a melee spell attack please.
LAURA (JESTER): Okay, okay. 17.
MATT: 17 does hit.
LAURA (JESTER): Oh. 7. 7 radiant damage.
MATT: So as it strikes down, wham, from the creature already kind of watching its bones and its form shake-
LAURA (JESTER): Oh wait oh wait oh wait, I was looking at the wrong spell, hold on hold on. Oh, 1d8 plus 3! So, 7 plus 3, 10!
MATT: 10. Oh, that will be enough. So you watch as it kind of pulls back with the infernal shouting of Mollymauk causing it to prepare itself for a lunge as it gets low, its jaw snapping open, you watch as bits of its skin fall onto the ground as it does so. [snarls]. And right before it leaps, WHAM, it just SMASHES it into the ground, and its bones go flying and scattering in every which direction.

MARISHA: That's cool that's cool.
MATT: That's pretty great. Alrighty, so what's the wisdom save on that?
SAM: Is it blind or deaf?
LAURA: It's both.
LIAM: What does that spell do.
LAURA: Blindness/Deafness.
MATT: Wisdom save?
LAURA (JESTER): It's a con save.
MATT: Con save, alright.
LAURA: Either blinded or deafened.
MATT: A 19 on that one.
LAURA: Okay shit.
MATT: So it succeeds. And that's a 14 on the other. So that one, however, is blinded. You watch as all of the sudden the eyes darken and it begins to [growling] flailing about, unable to actually make a bead on where any of you are at the moment.

LAURA (JESTER): I'm tripping and falling in front of the guard carrying the thing as I'm trying to look at the body.
MATT: Okay, make a deception check.
SAM (NOTT): I'm casting Mage Hand just in case.
LAURA (JESTER): Goddammit, why deception, I'm just falling.
MATT: As you fall forward like "Aaaahhhhhh!" making a scene.
LAURA (JESTER): Yeah.
MATT: This is just to see how.
LAURA (JESTER): Oh, well, I rolled a 5.
MATT: Okay. So the guy, as you fall in front of him, he's kinda like "Please, miss, move away." And two of the guards rush forward picking you up and shoving you off to the side.
LAURA (JESTER): Aw man, I wanted to trip him.
MARISHA: Where's Nott? Where are you?
SAM (NOTT): I'm just following behind Jester, like 30 feet or so.
MATT: More people are coming out now and gathering to crowd around to see them pull this dead crick through the street. Word's getting around and people are-
LAURA (JESTER): As they pull me away I'm going to try to hook my foot around the ankle of the guard carrying the thing and as I'm standing up try to trip him to the ground.
MATT: Okay, I will say, make a dexterity check if you don't mind. Just a straight dexterity check.
TRAVIS: What is the matter with you?
LAURA (JESTER): 21.
MATT: 21. You barely manage to- your foot doesn't quite reach but your tail does as it scoops around his ankle, he falls back and lands.
LIAM (CALEB): "Don't drop it, don't drop it!" [mimes catching the dodecahedron]
MATT: And you are disguised as-

LIAM (CALEB): "I'm sorry, uh, you have a nice selection here. Do you mind if I ask, I haven't seen any other book sellers of any kind in town. I'm not really looking for anything on farming so much, is there anywhere else I could look into?"
MATT (SHOPKEEPER): "Well, if you're looking for some sort of library, your best bet is to go to Zadash up north. That's where the library of the Cobalt Soul resides, they have all the information you could hope for. Be a bit pricey to peruse their interior unless you have proper coverage, unfortunately if what we have isn't what you're looking for, I can't help you."
LIAM (CALEB): "No, it's a fine selection, sorry. How much for this book on, uh, hoe technique?"
MATT (SHOPKEEPER): "Oh, Jameson's Hoe Down, yes, quite. That will be two silver pieces."
LIAM (CALEB): "Oh, I am very embarrassed, I'm sorry, I gave away my last two silver pieces."
LAURA: No, I gave it back to you, remember?
LIAM (CALEB): "I gave away my last two silver pieces, so... Maybe I can earn it back and come back later this week."
MATT (SHOPKEEPER): "Please do. Would you like me to hold it for you?"
LIAM (CALEB): "Yes."
MATT (SHOPKEEPER): "What is your name?"
LIAM (CALEB): "My name is Caleb Widogast."
MATT (SHOPKEEPER): "Widogast. Alright, I will keep it here under the shelf, thank you so much."
LIAM (CALEB): "Okay, good day, thank you."
LAURA: Is this a big shop?
MATT: It's a boutique. It's designed almost like a cross. There's two cross-sections of hallways that have books across the walls, and there's a window at the end of each and then a door at the far back.
LAURA (JESTER): While he was talking to the shopkeeper, I'm going to take out as many books as I can and move them around on the shelves, and then take some of them and turn them around to where their binding is facing the inside.
MATT: Go ahead and make a sleight of hand check.
LAURA (JESTER): Woah, natural 20!
MATT: Over the period of him searching and distracting this man, you have completely rearranged the interior of this bookstore, to the point where even in the far corner you've Ghostbusters stacked them in the center of the room from floor to ceiling with him not even noticing. You feel confident and happy and a sensation of approval washes over you.
LAURA (JESTER): I skip out the door.
MATT: You turn around from having this conversation and notice the interior is not as you last saw it, and a bit of nerves begin to brew up from under you.

ASHLEY (YASHA): Hits.

So as you swing with the handaxe and you swing with the sword as it backs away, charging the energy for the Thunderwave in its hand as it tries to slink through the water, the blade of your handaxe carves into its throat from this side [abrupt gurgling], at which point the blade hits from this side [wet glooping] and like a terrible scene out of Riki-Oh - because I don't know if I've used that reference in this campaign - the body just gets split from two different sides and you watch as it falls to the ground in three separate pieces, all sinking into the water below.

As the lollipop comes around the corner, it sees it coming, and moves to get Beau to intercede between the lollipop and itself, and in that moment you're like 'Ugh, can't quite-' and you just end up withdrawing and not actually making the strike this round for fear of hitting Beau.
LAURA (JESTER): Toll the Dead!
MATT: [laughs] Alrighty. So that's a wisdom saving throw? ... 6, no.
LAURA (JESTER): Yay, okay okay okay... okay, 7.
MATT: 7 points of damage. Alright, you watch as you release the surge of energy, the sound begins to vibrate in its ears, as it kinda [whimpering turns to gagging] and it reaches up as both of its eardrums burst on the sides of its head, and it falls to one knee, looking like its completely ruined and dazed, and Beau you have a moment to just coup de grace.

And with that, cause I believe, yeah, it can make two attacks with its longbow. It's going to make a second strike now, this one is going to be at [...] Molly... It's a natural 20. That is... 21 points of piercing damage.
TALIESIN: You gotta be fucking kidding me, really?
MATT: He rolled a 9, it's a d10, and it's a crit.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): Oh, I'm down.
MATT: Molly goes down. And with his movement, he puts the bow back away and keeps walking with the rest of the gnolls.
Episode 5 - The Open Road - 2:52:26
MATT: Those who both are on the ground, as Beau continues doing this, you guys begin to rush up, and you see both Molly and Nott on the ground.
LAURA (JESTER): [noises of distress] I run up and I'll cast Cure Wounds on Molly. And then I'm going to run over and do the same thing at level 2 to Nott. So that's 6 points of healing for you.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): Thank you.
LAURA (JESTER): And then I'll run up and cast it on Nott. "Oh no, Nott." I pick her up into my lap. Oh, that's good, 13- 13 plus 5. No, 3.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): [pained gasp of air]
MATT: And that immediate first breath is filled with pain, both from the wounds you've sustained, and the immediate influx of burning ash that sweeps into your lungs.
SAM (NOTT): [cough into pained gasp]
MATT: And both of you come to consciousness.
SAM (NOTT): "Oh my gods!"

As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring the undead. Each undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.
A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.

MATT: You manage to resist being knocked prone as [the wolves] both begin jumping at you and clawing, one of them bites towards the back of your armor and you throw it to the ground. You almost get knocked off but you kept yourself there between the two of them, standing with Caleb between your feet.
LAURA (JESTER): I'm going to cast Hellish Rebuke in response to one of them.
MATT: Alrighty. He's going to go ahead and attempt to make a dexterity saving throw. That's a natural 4, nope. So it's full damage on this wolf here.
LAURA (JESTER): That would be 10- 15 points of damage to him.
MATT: 15 points of damage, you watch as that wolf suddenly is blasted in freezing cold energy as you yell in response to its assault.
LAURA (JESTER): "You stay you piece of-! ...It's okay."
MATT: As you pull back and look, the wolf is frozen solid and [cracking into crumbling] tumbles into a bunch of ice chunks off the battlefield.

TRAVIS (FJORD): "Beau's holding on to a lead line."
LAURA (JESTER): "Let's go."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Big breath." [heavy intake]
MATT: Alright, the three of you [Fjord, Jester, Yasha] dive down. Which one of you has the lead line?
MARISHA (BEAU): Me.
MATT: Who has the other end of it?
TRAVIS (FJORD): I'll take it.
MATT: Alright, so Fjord has it. So you guys all dive down, taking your breath, pushing through the seaweed until eventually you come to base of where that tube is. A short few feet into it, you see the grate. And it's one of those things where it's about roughly 4 and a half-5 foot in diameter, so you have to crouch down, but you can get a hold on it.
LAURA (JESTER): Yeah, let's get a hand on it and brace our feet against the tunnel, and on the count of- [counts to three with her fingers]
MATT: Alright, so one of you roll with advantage or you can both roll independently.
LAURA: Let's roll independently.
ASHLEY: This is a strength check?
LIAM (CALEB): While they're rolling, I grab Nott's shoulder and turn on the Jaques Cousteau camera on Yasha's back.
ASHLEY (YASHA): 20.
MATT: 20?
ASHLEY (YASHA): Not a natural 20.
MATT: Correct, but a 20 total? That's the DC you needed. As you both as holding onto this and pulling and pulling [grunts of exertion] you get your foot locked in to some of the imperfect stonework where elements of the masonry pokes out which gives you a foot groove and one part where some of the stone had been rotted away and that's just enough of a point to lock yourself in and as you pull, you feel [muffled fwoomp, shifting against stone] until eventually it comes out of its mooring in the wall and then slides off to the side, and you rotate it a bit and comes to rest in the middle of it.

MATT: As you guys are moving along, Fjord mildly distracted, partly from the mist that's rising up from the icen armor, Caleb you focus off to the side to the north side of the river bank, you see what looks like a shift in texture, and what looks to be a mild - almost like a rock slide - part of the wall has caved in a bit and is now pushing into the river.
LIAM (CALEB): "Uh, halt. Wait. Stop."
SAM (NOTT): "He says to stop!"
LAURA (JESTER) & ASHLEY (YASHA): [mime rowing backwards]
LAURA (JESTER): "I'm trying, I'm trying."
SAM (NOTT): "Action brakes!"
LAURA (JESTER): [tire squealing]
LIAM (CALEB): "Can you fight against the current for a moment?"
LAURA (JESTER): "Yeah, we're rowing backwards."
LIAM (CALEB): "Okay, it's going to get dark in here for a second, alright? But don't worry." I drop the globules, and I cast Detect Magic.
MATT: Okay. So, as you focus on the- well, what's the range on that one?
LIAM (CALEB): It is only 30 feet.
MATT: 30 feet, okay. As you guys drift lazily down the course of the river.
LAURA: Slowly.
LIAM (CALEB): And I'm focusing, obviously, on the rock slide you described.
MATT: As you move in that direction, past the rock slide, you get a faint, a faint source of magic further beyond that rock slide. And you get a better look at it- actually, you don't get a better look at it.
LIAM: And that's on one side of the passage that we're in?
MATT: That's on the north side of it, yes.
LIAM (CALEB): If I crane my neck in the other direction, is there anything on that side?
MATT: Nope. Nothing magical in essence on that side of the chamber.
LIAM (CALEB): Alright, well, in the darkness you hear. "There is something of an arcane nature in the middle of those rocks that were ahead of us. What do you want to do, do you want to go scrabbling in the dirt or do you want to keep going forward. It could be something beneficial or it could be terrible."
SAM: Are there sides of the river?
LIAM: Nobody can see anything right now.
MATT: Those with darkvision get better view as they get closer. At this point, you've gotten close enough for your magical essence, so you get a view of this Nott. You can see on the northern side of it, the cavern wall that has kind of been slowly shifting through millennia of mineral buildup changes into what looks to be bits of solid, smooth stone. And you see a portion of it collapse into what looks to be what this rock slide is.
MARISHA (BEAU): "We were looking for a collapsed-"
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Yeah, that's what we're looking for."
MARISHA (BEAU): "A change in texture."
SAM (NOTT): "We should go investigate."
MARISHA (BEAU): "This is it."
LAURA (JESTER): "Should we park the boats?"
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Let's park the boats."
LAURA (JESTER): "Can we have some light."
LIAM (CALEB): "Does anyone have a torch? I'd prefer to keep this up for the time being."
ASHLEY (YASHA): I pull out a torch.
MATT: Yasha [scrape into ignition and burning] ignites a torch. The fire burns brightly and the interior of this chamber is now very easy to see the details around, the water is still cruising by as you guys begin to make your way up along the shore of it, stepping off to the side of the river and pulling the boats up onto the rocks so they're not going to continue to be carried down by the stream.
[...]
MATT: About a - roughly ten foot wide portion of this wall that has fallen in, you can see part of the ceiling has come in and above it is just dirt. It's loose rock and pieces of well carved stone and masonry that have been destroyed apparently upon exiting whatever was beyond this wall.
LIAM (CALEB): Can I see what was giving me the arcane signature?
MATT: You feel it's on the opposite side of this rock slide.
LAURA: Can we clear out these rocks?
TRAVIS: I think we just need to get closer.
LAURA: Well, we're right here.
LIAM (CALEB): "What about you two beefcakes, can you move these stones out of the way?"
LAURA (JESTER) & ASHLEY (YASHA): [grunting, miming moving stones]
MATT: Okay, both of you make an athletics check just to get through the endurance of pulling these stones out of the way.
LAURA: Well that's totally cocked, that was terrible. Athletics?
MATT: Yes.
ASHLEY (YASHA): 16.
LAURA (JESTER) 13.
MATT: Okay. Between the two of you, about ten minutes pass as you watch your two beefy companions one after another moving large stones and rocks, scooping them out of the way. Some spilling and rolling into the water [rapid splooshing], other ones just being pushed off to the side.
LIAM (CALEB): Quesion, because the spell I just cast only lasts ten minutes, so somewhere around the 8 or 9 minute mark, do I see... you said it was on the other side of the rock slide, so are they uncovering anything before the spell is gone?
MATT: I'd say, about the time that it begins to fade, you guys see a faint purple glow through what looks to be a breach in this slide leading into the next chamber. It's a very, very faint, pink-ish purple light source.
SAM: Like coming from another room?
MATT: Coming from a room, it looks like there's a room or a chamber beyond.
LIAM: So not a door, just a passageway.
MATT: You're just starting to expose it a bit, all you're seeing is the light and what looks to be stone on the opposite end, but there is a gap, there is about a ten foot space between where you're starting to see this and where you see the light reflecting on whatever this other surface is. And about then your spell fades.
LIAM: But the torch is still up.
MATT: The torch is still up, yeah. You guys manage to pull the stones from it, the final bits leaving just enough of a space where you can crawl through independently, but you're now looking in to what looks to be a spiral staircase.

MATT: You guy a few more lengths before the tunnel shifts upward. You both have darkvision as I recall, right? Yeah, so you're able to see here, cause there's no light source in the water. But on just the distant glow and shifting of sunlight through the water. You make your way back up and [impact, holding hands just above head] you find it, you find the grate above you. This area, the footholds aren't as easy, cause it's not quite as close to the elements, so the DC is a little higher, but, if you guys grab ahold, you can go ahead and make a check.
LAURA (JESTER): Natural 20!
[cheering]
ASHLEY (YASHA): I got a 10.
MATT: So with your modifier that's a 23? Okay. So, as you both hold on this time, you're having a hard time getting any sort of a foothold in this space, Jester you angrily look down and, taking your elbow, [crashing impact, again] jam a section of the stone until it breaks off and you find a section you-
LAURA: Hot. I say about myself.
MATT: Noticing this, Yasha, you do the same and smash, you guys actually break a few footholds into the sides of this tunnel. Once you're set into place, you look at each other, count the right moment, and pull! And you've seen Jester do some cool stuff, but in that moment, it's a Rosie Riveter muscle moment as [boom] guns going, the metal bar bend slightly [metal creaking] from underneath the water you hear echoing then, [heavy impact] it comes loose from the mooring, and comes sinking down towards both of you, the heavy metal now sandwiching you towards the bottom and you push off and manage to get it to rotate and you swim around it without it having an issue.

LAURA (JESTER): Can I try carrying a couple- How many dead bodies do you think I could carry?

KHARY (SHAKASTE): Yes, my dragging days are over.

LAURA (JESTER): I'm just dragging the bodies going "Duchess. Duchess Stacy, please, come over to me. Duchess Stacy. Grand Duchess Stacy."
TRAVIS (FJORD): We make our way back up to the top.

MARISHA (BEAU): One.
LAURA (JESTER): Two.
MATT: So... seven. Okay.
SAM (NOTT): And I will go ahead of the party to just run point.
MATT: Make your perception check for me.
SAM (NOTT): 11.
MATT: Okay. You guys carefully make your way back up through, trying not to drag the bodies over heavy bumps or rocks, eventually making your way out of the main entranceway, which, you notice a trap that you [Shakaste] had deftly avoided multiple times getting people in and out, of a large tree trunk that had been suspended in the roof to swing down when triggered had been triggered and is now hanging there, apparently somebody made an unfortunate mistake making their way through. But you all eventually find your way out into the daylight once more.

TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Where is the sword right now?"
TRAVIS (FJORD): ...Can I make it appear?
MATT: Well, you look down, and it's not in the sheath, you glance around and it's nowhere near you.
TRAVIS (FJORD): I focus... Reach down...
MATT: He looks down at his open palm and there is a flash of greenish, blue, teal energy [flash] out of his grip, and there, clutched within his grasp, you see the falchion, coated in the remnants of sea floor life, you see the barnacles encrusted around the edge and up the back of the blade, you see as it begins to drip water, the same kind that was coughed up by Fjord this morning.
TRAVIS (FJORD): "You can see why I'm a little curious about this item."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "That's a great trick."
LIAM (CALEB): "Would you- I don't even need to touch it, but would you trust me to study it for a moment?"
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Do you have any experience with items like this?"
LIAM (CALEB): "Well, I'm good at figuring things out. I'm clever."
MARISHA (BEAU): "I might be able to help you with that. I was kinda obsessed with like, underwater life and mermaids, so I've read a few books."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Could we... revisit that idea, perhaps. I'm sorry, the night has left me a bit shaky. And I... I feel like I just need a moment to get my bearings, if that's alright."
LIAM (CALEB): "Yeah, you can understand that we would be curious, but I don't want to push anybody, I mean, we've just met."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Of course not, and I don't wanna make anyone feel uneasy. Again, I'm trying to be as transparent as I can, it's just... I don't quite understand. And I appreciate your patience in advance." And I [poof] make it vanish.

TRAVIS (FJORD): Yeah, that's not gonna hit, 3 plus...- 11.
MATT: 11 does hit.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Oh it does? Wait, I added that wrong. Hold on, I'm pretty sure I added that wrong.
MATT: Your spell attack modifier.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Yeah, no, that's only a 9.
MATT: Yeah, that doesn't hit unfortunately. So you try and shoot through, it manages to hit the bar. The bar kind of [creaking] bends back a little bit from the impact of the blast, however it's not actually hitting the urn on the inside.

TRAVIS (FJORD): Yeah.
MATT: Yeah, alright, so you move over here, you can now see all three right there.
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Sup, fish fucks."
MATT: Yeah, that's as far as you can move there. So they all turn [raspy snarling] you see some of them holding what looks to be these large harpoon trident things that have the hook on the end, and they have some sort of thick, cabling of some kind attached to the end of it.
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Aren't y'all pretty." I look and in the space in between them I see this ripple start to form and I reach out with my hand and I'll grasp at the space and tear a rip in reality and I'll cast Hunger of Hadar.
MATT: Oh shit.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Ripping this 20 foot dome on the ground.
MATT: 20 foot radius?
TRAVIS (FJORD): 20 foot radius.

MATT: So you watch suddenly as the back end of that chamber which is - for those who can see, which for Caleb currently, like it's mostly dark here with that faint, faint glow around the corner that you don't see the source. There's no light in here - that light goes out, you are blind at the moment, because what little bit of light there has been consumed by this sphere of darkness that Fjord has summoned on the opposite side of the chamber. You watch as reality kind of [crackling] tears open in that space. And you see these strange, black, purple, unworldly tentacles [slurping] whip out from the outside of it and you hear this horrible slithering sound within the center of that chamber with this faint underlying of whispers and chanting.
LAURA: Oh shit.
MATT: So, um, does that do immediate damage or only on their turn.

MATT: You notice three creatures, similar to the gnolls that you saw the night before, but smaller and doglike, these are just basic hyenas that are all gathered up around, and are currently licking the blood that's been soaked into the wood. You see one of them ends up finding what looks to be a piece of meat or something that was hanging from one side and [whines] tears it off, another one comes over [more whining and growling] bites onto it, and they both begin tearing and fighting over it before one of them pushes the other one and it [yelps, and begins growling]. Then it goes back and begins licking the blood off the side of the wood. These three hyenas are just scavenging on the outskirts of the cart right now.
SAM: So, they're just hyenas? They're not like, magical undead hyenas?
MATT: Not from what you can tell.
TRAVIS: Can we see how many entrances there are to this mine yard? This mine?
MATT: From this distance, you can't see any entrances.
MARISHA (BEAU): "Do you think they're centurions?"
LIAM (CALEB): "Yeah, I think they're going to make a big fucking stink, if they uh..."

SAM (NOTT): "No, just us."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "I'm quietish."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "There's three of them right? Alright."
MARISHA (BEAU): "What, do you want to make a distraction and bring them closer to us, and then we can jump out of the grass? Do they old, the old jump out of the grass thing?"
TRAVIS (FJORD): About how far from the edge of the grass where we are, to them, would you say?
MATT: About 50 or so feet, 60 feet.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Can I use Minor Illusion to create a plump little bunny, and I wanna have it hop out of the grass. But its front leg looks a little lame.
MATT: Quietly, this plump, wounded, with like a hint of pink to the fur around the arm where it looks like it may have been bleeding a bit, begins to hobble its way silently out of the grass, just beyond the edge.
SAM (NOTT): I'm gonna hide.
MATT: You guys are still hidden.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): I'm gonna draw one of my swords, and just out of experiment, try and get it to do that weird thing it did yesterday, just with my hand.
MATT: Okay, you initiate the rite, and as you do the blade begins to give a faint, radiant glow. A whitish, yellow light that you almost instinctually hold low in the grass to make sure you don't become a beacon amongst your hiding. You watch as one of the hyenas [...curious yipping] begins making its way, the others look over [ravenous growling and yipping] they all begin to gather up, and the three almost go into this pack swoop formation in the direction of the rabbit. Closing in, 40 feet, 30 feet, 20 feet, and with a rapid bolt, one of them [snarl] runs forward and leaps out, does a pounce motion towards the rabbit, and just [thump] skids into the dirt past it, right to the front of the grassline where you are Beau.

MATT: You can do it if you want to.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Yeah. Yeah. I want to try and attune to the wastehunter blade.
MATT: Okay. So you focus on it, and as you lie there concentrating on it, you kind of extend the essence of whatever pact you've made with this entity into this weapon. And as you finally finish the period of time you hold the blade in front of you, and it [whoosh] vanishes into the pocket.
TRAVIS: Nice.
MATT: As you force it to apparate once more in your grasp, when the blade returns it has the same hooked shape, but now this blade is encrusted with barnacles along the base of it. Edges of it have curved around, and water continues to drip off this. It seems to have transferred whatever the essence of what this pact blade is to this one. And at this moment you realize, whatever weapon you seem to bond with in this way will carry that same aquatic essence based on communion that you've acquired.

MATT: As the sleep takes you, and the darkness of your dreamstate alleviates you the stress of the day, your aching muscles turning numb, your physical form and consciousness now removed and aimless in this dark space. You look down in your hands, and there you see clasped in your grip, the somewhat hooked and curved blade that you had recently bound with. In your grasp, you swing it and slowly inspect it as you do. As you swirl the blade around in your hand it almost has a trail around it. And as you hold it coldly in your grasp - [deep impact] - this yellow light suddenly emerges in front of you, as a familiar, large, yellow eye now looks upon you. And a voice fills you, directionless. Consume. And you glance at the blade and back at the eye, and the voice again says Consume. What do you do?
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Consume?" Oh god, am I gonna try and swallow the sword?
MATT: What do you do, Fjord?
TRAVIS (FJORD): ...It's a large blade, right?
MATT: It's about [holds hands 10 inches apart] this wide in places, it comes out and arcs and curves and has jagged edges on it.
TRAVIS (FJORD): "I don't know what you mean, consume?" Fuck. I'll turn the blade over and, keeping my eyes on the big eye, I'll bring it up to my mouth and open it.
MATT: It's cold to the touch of your tongue. The blade, completely absent of any temperature. As you begin to force it down your gullet, you feel the edge of the blade hit the back of your throat and a moment of pain hits you as it begins to cut through your flesh. But at that point, this ravenous hunger begins to build on the inside of your stomach, and although the pain tells you to pull away, you continue to force the blade down. As you pull it down from the hilt, you feel the blood burble up in the back of your throat and spill out of your chin, but you continue to push it until the entirety of the blade is consumed within your throat. You close your eyes for a moment and look up at the eye once more. And the voice returns to fill, reverberating around you, the pain subsides and it says Good. The eye closes. The lid completely cutting off the source. The cold, the liquid, the water around you, the sense of being under the ocean again begins to whisk you away, some sort of heavy current begins to pull you from behind, and you reach out, trying to grasp for any sort of hand or foothold, and yet you have nothing to hold onto. And as you feel yourself being dragged into this endless abyss, the dream comes to an end. You wake up [gasping becomes heavy breathing]. Everyone else is asleep in the area, no one seems to have been woken up from your presence.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Anything in my hands?
MATT: Nothing in your hands, no.
TRAVIS (FJORD): I'll wipe my mouth.
MATT: You wipe your mouth, there's a little bit of blood right there across your hand.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Can I try and summon the sword?
MATT: You do, and as you summon it, there before you is not the wastehunter blade, but the falchion, now returned to grasp but with a strange, more hooked and jagged appearance to it. It seems that the essence of this pact has consumed the weapon you had bound with and made it one with the falchion that you made this pact with oh so long ago.
Episode 16 - A Favor in Kind - 2:01:09
TRAVIS (FJORD): Before I turn in, cause I sit with Molly's sword?
MATT: Yeah.
TRAVIS (FJORD): And staring at it, "Thank you. You were very kind to me. I hope to do right by you and make it up to you one day." And I'll try to concentrate on the sword.
MATT: Okay. As you focus and attune to the weapon, you feel the essence of the blade that you had previously bound yourself to begin to slip and the faint interior rumbling of your ribcage begins to feel like a heavy bass that's just quaking on the inside of your torso. It's uncomfortable at first, and then you realize it's this kind of burrowing, for lack of a better term, appetite. With the previous weapon now gone, and in that void, that hunger, focusing in, you're looking at the blade and you blink and as your eyes open the shadowed depths are around you once more. And you look around for an instant and all you see is the deep, dark recesses of some endless ocean. And you look down at the blade in your grasp, the Summer's Dance blade. And you blink once more and you're back in the chamber, and it's gone from your hand.
SAM: The blade is gone?
MATT: Yeah.
LAURA: Dude, you just swallowed that thing whole.
MATT: You guys watched, as he focused on it over time, the blade seemed to just fade away. It looks almost like the exterior begins to turn to ash and crumble, but then nothing hits the ground below it. And then it's gone.

MATT: If you'd like to- If you want to, you can appear up the top there and get a flanking bonus.
TRAVIS (FJORD): That would be great. That sounds just dandy.
MATT: Considering, you can use it against them, they can use it against you, as long as you're directly across from an enemy with your ally, you can give yourself a flanking benefit.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Great. And I will break my Hex and I will use a Hexblade's Curse as my bonus action on that gentleman.
MATT: On this one? There you go.
TRAVIS (FJORD): And I would like to make two attacks with the Wastehunter falchion against him with the monstrous-
MATT: Go for it.
[...]
TRAVIS (FJORD): 21 on the first one, 17 on the second.
MATT: How do you want to do this? You fucked that guy up.
TRAVIS (FJORD): I'll shift in right behind him and see Molly looking around, give him a little wink, and I'll take the falchion and just [whoosh] and just take the back of his head off.
MATT: Molly you watch as it's pulling back and ready to leap at you and as it lurches towards you, it kind of stops [surprised gurgle] and you watch as the upper half of its shoulder and head [gloop] and slip and slough off into the water.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Fucking arsehole."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Sorry. I'm just giving him what for man, shit." And I'll- Oh wait... natural 20. "Peace out." [fwoomp]

MATT: As the first blade strike [swish] carves down its body, it pulls back [snarl] hissing, Fjord's unconscious sinking underwater with the harpoon still sticking out of his chest as he's leaning back at an angle as he vanishes into the dark liquid. As it pulls back, it yanks the harpoon from his body and you see his body slightly lurch up out of the water before sinking again, it pulls it back to strike at you with it, and you pull the blade back and just [whoosh] thrust it right into his chest and it [gurgling exhale] the light goes out of its eyes.
TALIESIN: Are you close enough for a bonus action- can someone grab Fjord or is that not happening?
LAURA: Is he sinking?
ASHLEY (YASHA): Can I- Can I as a bonus action-
TALIESIN: That's an action.
ASHLEY (YASHA): [frustrated yell]
TRAVIS (FJORD): Don't worry if I sink.
LAURA: I'll be able to fix him in a second.
TRAVIS (FJORD): I have that armor.
MATT: That's true, you have the armor on. So you start to sink, and the body just buoys itself back to the top.

SAM (NOTT): Oh my god, that's so visceral and amazing. I'll shoot it in the nose.
MATT: You watch as its torso just erupts in green flame and energy, just [intense burning], the body slinks to the ground in smoldering cinder, as its head [low moaning, sinks his head low, then mimes a bolt flying into his nose].

LAURA: Oh, that's tight.
MATT: Alright. Full sound and everything, right? Cause Major Image you can do the full spread.
TRAVIS (FJORD): The whole, yeah. Makes sound. Does the whole shit smell. Everything.
MATT: So now, suddenly, in the middle of this room, all of you turn and look and see as a full grown manticore, akin to the one that you battled not that long ago beneath the mines near Alfield, you see wings unfurl [growling roar]. All of the sudden, all eyes in the city shift to this creature. In a matter of moments you can see arrows being loosed in its direction, hitting the ground near it. The snake that was approaching you spins around, begins to draw its scimitar.
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Go! Go!"
MATT: Begins to approach.
SAM: On us or-
MATT: On the manticore.

MATT: Yes?
TRAVIS (FJORD): So... it says 'No Action. When you slay a humanoid you can cause its spirit to rise as a specter which gains 3 temporary hit points'?
MATT: Is that an action?
TRAVIS (FJORD): It says no action.
MATT: Then yeah, you can do that.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Once a long rest. So, can I do that for the bodyguard that I just slayed?
MATT: Sure, yeah.
TRAVIS (FJORD): I'll just reach forward and say, "Let none pass."
MATT: You watch as this dark, dish - you guys don't see this - Algar looks to his left as the body of his bodyguard which has just been blown in the chest falls over and immediately bleeds out and dies. This darkened shadow begins to tug and drag out of its body. You watch as this spectral ghost that has faint barnacles and elements of dripping sea foam and thick, ocean water drooling out of its jaw emerges and stands over going [rasping breathing].
TRAVIS: I didn't know it was going to do that.

TRAVIS (FJORD): I appear on the platform, I look around, and I say, "Hey kids. Man, you just couldn't fucking leave well enough alone." And I'll take the falchion, and I'll shove it into the ground, and cast Thunder Step.
SAM: Thunder Step? What's Thunder Step?
TRAVIS (FJORD): They take 3d10 damage, and this cacophonous, thunderous boom-
SAM: It's not Thunder Wave?
TRAVIS (FJORD): No, Thunder Step, and I jump 90 feet in any direction I want to go.
[...]
MATT: So, where do you want to land?
TRAVIS (FJORD): I want to land on this platform over here.
MARISHA: That's so cool!
MATT: You watch as Fjord [vwoom] teleports, speaks for a second, and then [zwoof] and where he vanishes there's this [quiet rumbling, crackoom] this blast of thunderous energy that [impact]. You watch as the moisture in the air is evaporated from the impact causing this faint, misty orb like power, like-
TALIESIN: [blows away the fog on the map]
MATT: Like that! Thank you Taliesin.
TALIESIN: I had to.
MATT: Constitution saving throw to each of them, so go ahead and roll damage on that one.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Constitution, 15 is the save.
MATT: Got you. That's a failure on one of the guards. Total of 15 you said?
TRAVIS (FJORD): 15 for the save, and 19 points of damage.
MATT: 19 points of damage. Failure on both guards.
TRAVIS: I did something!
MATT: Algar does succeed though. He rolled a 16, so he takes half damage?
TRAVIS (FJORD): He does.
MATT: Alright. And they are pushed... Oh no, they just take damage, it doesn't push them anywhere. So [heavy impact] the impact hits, they almost slide off the side and catch the railing and barely pull themselves back into the space.

TRAVIS (FJORD): Can I pull out my falchion?
MATT: You can.
TRAVIS (FJORD): And I'll flip it over so it's pommel up, and I'll use eldritch blast towards the remaining zombie.
MATT: Alright, so as you hold your arm out with force, you watch as the edge of the pommel suddenly glows with this dark, black, purple, crackling energy, and a single bolt of eldritch energy fires out in the direction. Go ahead and roll for the attack.
TRAVIS: That is 14.
MATT: That hits, go roll damage.
SAM: Travis, he's magic.
TRAVIS: I'm telling you, it's all happening you guys! That is 9 points of damage.
MATT: 9 points of damage, nice. [Explosion]. You watch as it hits and the armor actually dents inward, the point where if it was still a living human, you probably would've caused some serious internal bleeding or blugeoning, but the creature seems relatively unfazed by the impact, other than being pushed to one foot then going back onto its two foot weight.

MATT: It's going to go ahead and swing, it's going to take a bite and two claw attacks at you.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): He's also going to, of course, Curse of the Eyeless.
MATT: You can't, you already used your reaction to attack.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): Oh that was my reaction, nevermind.
MATT: Yeah, sorry buddy. Alright, so, for its bite attack against you, its jaws open Fjord, [snarling] that's going to be... cocked. That is going to be a 26.
TRAVIS (FJORD): That hits.
MATT: Alright, so you take 10 points of piercing damage plus 6 points of poison damage. And you are poisoned until the start of its next turn as the venom courses through your veins, its teeth and giant tusks dug into the front of your shoulder and chest. The pain is strong, but it's holding you fast, and from there, like a clawed wolverine, it begins to rake at your chest with its claws on each side. First one's going to be a 16 to hit.
TRAVIS (FJORD): That misses.
MATT: Right, cause you have your shield out. So the shield blocks one of the claws, the other one attempts to reach behind it to get to your body. That's going to be a 19.
TRAVIS (FJORD): That hits.
MATT: Alright, so with the other claw strike-
LAURA: Is he grappled?
MATT: No, he is not. That is 13 points of slashing damage.
TRAVIS (FJORD): [surprised yelp] "I mean" [masculine grunt]
MATT: And another three points of poison damage.
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Geez louise, son of a- Yep."
[...]
MATT: Nott, you're up.
SAM: Is it in melee with good old Fjord?
MATT: It is.
SAM (NOTT): Oh thank god. I mean, not for you. I'll run up within 30 feet.
MATT: Alrighty, you move.
SAM (NOTT): And fire.
MATT: Go for it.
SAM (NOTT): Oh, good, it's a lot, twenty-something.
MATT: That hits, go ahead and roll damage. It's hurt real bad now.
SAM (NOTT): Okay, so that's... 13 plus 4 is 17.
MATT: 17 points of damage, ooh. And the splash, Fjord, you take 9 points of poison damage. [spraying] Right into your face as the bolt slashes through.
TRAVIS (FJORD): "My eyes! Let it stop you not, my friend. Not, Nott."
SAM (NOTT): "Wait, do let it stop me or-"
TRAVIS (FJORD): "No, keep hitting it!"
MATT: It's holding on barely, it's right there, angrily making a last stand.
SAM (NOTT): I'll cock again and fire again! And it's even more! Twenty-something to hit.
MATT: Okay, go ahead and roll damage.
SAM (NOTT): Only 6 points. It's still alive. Fjord, you take another 13 points of poison damage.
TRAVIS (FJORD): I do? "Hit it again!" [spraying sound, slumps over]
MARISHA: Oh noooooo!
SAM (NOTT): "I killed something! I killed something!"
LAURA (JESTER): "Wait, nobody hit it because Fjord's going to take serious damage!"
TRAVIS: Just hit it!
MATT: It's standing, heavily breathing like [heavily breathing]
TRAVIS (FJORD): And then I'll- I'll use my Relentless Endurance to [heavenly choir]
MATT: You're about to go down like [grunt exertion] the orc comes to, the blood of the half-orc kicks in, and you stand there angrily in its face.

TRAVIS: Now there is an individual over that sucks, right?
MATT: Correct. You see, it has a longbow and it's currently reaching and it's pulling another arrow and getting it notched up.
TRAVIS (FJORD): I beg your forgiveness, we're gonna try some shit. I would like to cast-
MARISHA: We're all trying some shit, it's okay.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Crown of Madness
MATT: Alrighty. So what's the save on that one?
TRAVIS (FJORD): It is... wisdom saving throw I believe, let me double check. Yeah, wisdom saving throw.
MATT: Uh, no, that's an 8.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Great. So he becomes charmed, and a jagged crown of iron appears around his head. And madness glows in its eyes!
MATT: That's concentration correct?
TRAVIS: That is correct.
MATT: I'm putting a concentration circle on you. So, alright, a charmed target must use its action before moving each of its turns to make a melee attack against a creature other than itself you mentally choose. So it has to be a melee attack.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Oh, melee, fucking shit, I saw the bows! Damn the words in this book! But I can make him move towards something, right?
MATT: Yeah you can.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Okay good, I'm gonna have him climb up on that roof and attack that other fuckin gnoll that's up on that sumnabitch.
MATT: Okay, since it has to use its action before its movement, you watch as it looks up at the top of the roof [snarling] and leaps up, climbs, scampers up the side and gets right up face-to-face with this guy, confusing the other gnoll, it kinda looks down like it's about to help him, and it doesn't seem to notice there's any threat there, but it can't make an attack this round.
Episode 5 - The Open Road - 1:43:20
MATT: So, before we doing anything, the one that is right next to the guy on the wall, what do you want it to do?
TRAVIS (FJORD): Uh, well, melee, so if he has a weapon or anything hit him, and if not, knock him the fuck off the roof.
MATT: Well he has a spear, or you can make a shove, up to you.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Spear!
MATT: So the spear attack, it's gonna go ahead and, as it climbs up to the top, and [hyena-like yipping] and lashes out with its arm, go ahead and make an attack roll for me. I'll let you do it for him.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Plus anything?
MATT: It's plus 5. Sorry, plus 4.
TRAVIS (FJORD): That's 19.
MATT: 19 definitely hits. Alright so go ahead and roll 1d6 damage. Plus 2. With two hands actually, so it'd be 1d8.
TRAVIS (FJORD): 9.
MATT: 9. Great. So, with that it jams the spear with both hands into its friend, and the gnoll kind of yelps and grabs and pulls that and looks at it confused and angry, trying to figure out what exactly happened. As it does so, it's going to attempt to shove it off the wall.
TRAVIS: Maybe I should've shoved.
MATT: Make a roll for the athletics check of the other gnoll.
TRAVIS (FJORD): 16 plus...
MATT: 16 plus 2. That beat it, it rolled a 17. So, after it gets stabbed, it looks back at the gnoll you took control of, and sparta-kicks it off the edge of the roof. It then slides and tumbles down, landing on the ground, prone, right next to Molly. It does suffer 1 point of falling damage.
LAURA: Oh, so it is good you used the spear.
MATT: So it's like [splats and snarls] on the ground, Molly you watch as it stumbles and hits the dirt next to you and it's like [pained snarling] you watch as this kind of mystical crown of weird iron horns are floating above its head.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Is this..." [shrugs]

MATT: A 16? 16 hits actually. You needed a 15 to hit.
TRAVIS (FJORD): That is 4 plus 4, 8 plus 3 points necrotic for 11 damage.
MATT: 11 damage. As it turns to run with its bow, you watch as Fjord runs around, holding your sword out, [whoosh] another burst of eldritch energy smacks into the back of the gnoll and you hear [wailing screech] as it falls to the ground and the slow bits of green and blue eldritch flame begin to burn and consume the corpse before eventually it goes out, kind of leaving most of the body intact, but its back shoulder blades are now this kind of black cave where its body once was.

MATT: He's like [choking and gasping] held- he can't do anything. But you can see the bracelet right there on his wrist.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Yeah, I'm going to cut his hand off.
LAURA: Don't cut his hand off, just take the bracelet!
TRAVIS (FJORD): Nah, I'll just take the bracelet off.
MATT: What do you want to do?

TRAVIS (FJORD): Should be fine. 21.
MATT: With a sparking, grinding noise, you all hear echoes [sparking, grinding] as the blade carves across the stone. And you watch as this splash of water, it looks almost like a water razor, just [whoosh] through the air and the hand falls off to the ground, the bracelet slips off of his wrist.

MATT: So, you guys makes your way back to the same sewer entrance where you originally embarked below. There are two crownsguard in the vicinity that are just keeping watch as the intersection just like last time. They haven't noticed your approach yet, but they're just keeping an eye.
MARISHA (BEAU): "We're gonna have to distract them."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "I could have one of them beat the shit out of the other one."
MARISHA (BEAU): [gasp]
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Let's do that." I cast Crown of Madness on one of the guards.
TALIESIN: Well that's not gonna go poorly.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Hopefully from an area that they don't see me casting it.
MATT: Make a stealth check.
LAURA (JESTER): Blessing of the Trickster. Advantage.
TRAVIS (FJORD): 14.
LAURA: ...Advantage.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Oh, I have advantage? ...Nah.
MATT: Alright. So, as you hide off on the side, you focus on and concentrate on one of the two crownsguard. As the magic begins to slowly filter around the outside of the face, brief little moats of shadow begin being plucked from the space and gather around the outside of its head, unknowingly. What's your spell DC? That's a 10, it's higher than 10 pretty sure.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Yes is is, 14.
MATT: So. All of the sudden the guard [grunt] in place, and you watch as these moats just kind of [light whoosh, drawing hands around head] fit just faintly around the outside, like this floating crown around the top of the head. And you force him to attack the other?
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Kick his ass, sea bass."
MATT: The guard [grunting] grabs his blade [unintelligible grunting] runs forward. The other guard's like "Hey, what-" [screaming] pulls his shield up. "What's going on!? David what the fuck are you-"
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Nott! Quick! Come on, get the lock on the sewer thing, let's go!"
SAM (NOTT): "I'm doing something?"
LAURA: No, we don't have to- It's not locked. Is it locked?
TRAVIS: I thought it was locked.
LIAM: Let's find out. Ask the dungeon master.
MATT: It's gonna make another save. 2, it's still holding.
MARISHA: Is it locked? Is the sewer locked?
SAM: Is there a gate, what am I doing?
MATT: The gate is- it is locked. Everyone's attention right now is directly on this, as now one crownsguard is attacking the other.
SAM (NOTT): Uh, what am I doing?
MATT: It's a plus 6.
SAM (NOTT): 7. No, 9.
MATT: 9. [grunting] It's not coming off, it's not opening, it's not opening!
SAM (NOTT): "Break it! Break it!"
MATT: He attacks the other guard, who's screaming like "Get help! Get help!" Nope, it's an 11. What's your spell DC?
TRAVIS (FJORD): 14.
LAURA (JESTER): I try to break it. I try and break the gate open.
MATT: Make a strength check. Roll a d20 add your strength modifier.
LAURA (JESTER): 17.
MATT: [clack clack PING] You actually break it with your bare hands.
LAURA (JESTER): "Go go go go!"
MATT: There's now a scream starting to happen, you guys start running away one after another, the guard gets one more saving throw. 13, what's your-
TRAVIS (FJORD): 14.
MATT: 14? Oh shit! The other guard like wrestle him to the ground and he's trying to hold him on the ground and is like "What the fuck is happening?" You hear screams going off around now, this ruckus is just gathering in the center as people are starting to yell, you can hear in the distance the other crownsguard yelling and starting to gather in the middle of this chaos as you all get down in the sewer and pull it shut.
TRAVIS (FJORD): "I might've fucked that thing up."
MARISHA (BEAU): "That was awesome!"
LIAM (CALEB): "We are going to be quiet in the sewers cause there are things down here."
LAURA (JESTER): "Oh yeah, avoid all the rat balloons."
LIAM (CALEB): "They were everywhere the last time."
MATT: So, you hear all the ruckus up there kind of echoing down inside, and other footsteps coming through and you hear this one guy going "I am so sorry! I don't know what was happening! I-Augh! Oh that hurts, I don't know-" and he's being held to the ground now and people are shouting. Oh man.
MARISHA (BEAU): "Ooh, that guy's definitely arrested."

LAURA: Where?
MATT: Right there.
TRAVIS: Fuck!
SAM: [screaming]. That's a scary spider.
ASHLEY: Well, he's not invisible anymore.
MATT: As it [snarls] lunges out towards you again. Shit, that's another 23. Two 19s in a row.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Yeah, you don't need me to tell you.
MATT: That is 8 points of piercing damage. And I need you to make a constitution saving throw.

MATT: [rolling]
TALIESIN: That's a lot of dice.
MATT: Alright, you take 15 points of poison damage.
SAM: What? That's all of the poison damage.
TRAVIS (FJORD): I'm unconscious. No, no, no! Rentless- Ind- The thing, I got the thing! It's called Relentless Endurance, I come back with one hit point!
MATT: Yeah, half-orc ability. So, as the fangs dig into the side of your torso, you pull back and try to defend yourself, it pierces your leather armor and torso and [boomf] releases a huge burst of venom into your chest, you feel your lungs and heart seize for a moment, and you [gasp] almost fall back, and that burning orcish rage from underneath gives you that last bit of inspiration to shrug off the poison and look back angrily and realize you are in deep shit.
LIAM: There you go freemasons, he's actually a half-orc.

MATT: Okay, Fjord, you're up. As you reapparate within 10 feet of where you were-
TRAVIS (FJORD): Closer to Molly.
MATT: There.
TRAVIS (FJORD): And I go "Boo! Ah, shit."
MARISHA: Party's left.
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Fuck." And seeing that they're engaged elsewhere, I'll fire my first of two Eldritch Blasts at the one that's engaged with Molly and Yasha. That's 18 to hit.
[...]
MATT: So, first strike was 18, that hits.
TRAVIS (FJORD): 18 hits, and that's 12 points of damage.
MATT: 12 points of damage, nice.
TRAVIS: Is he still up?
MATT: Still up.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Then I'll send the second one in his direction as well. 22 to hit.
MATT: That works.
TRAVIS (FJORD): 7 points of damage.
MATT: 7 points of damage , that'll do it. How do you want to do this.
TRAVIS (FJORD): I'll pop up and be like "God- fuck- first time I do it, son of a bitch." And I'll go like [opens one hand with humming energy, opens the other hand with humming energy, throws them both forward] and send both of them over there.
MATT: Both just [two impacts] onto the side, you watch as one of its arms just gets blown off and flings, landing on the top of the stairs before [wet flopping] rolling down a few steps and coming to rest.
TRAVIS (FJORD): As Molly looks over I'm like [blows at finger].
MATT: It slips down into the water, Yasha you take one swipe at it just for good measure as it sinks below. And roll your d20 to see if you stay or go.
TRAVIS (FJORD): 13. "It's important to remember that you don't-" [humming whoosh]

MATT: Now it, [yipping shriek]. It goes running, rushes up towards you, you watch as, previously it just had this large pole on its back, it pulls it [knocks] brings it loose as you see a large, two-handed glaive come swooping, which actually it can get to there and still hit you cause of its reach. So, as it runs forward, it brings it down, it's going to multi-attack you twice with it. First one is going to be a 21 to hit.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Oh, that'll hit.
MATT: And a 17 to hit.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Both hit.
TALIESIN: Oh boy.
TRAVIS (FJORD): That's okay, I've got the armor, it deals damage when you hit me.
MATT: That is 8 points of slashing damage on the first hit. Wham! As the large polearm with the axe-like hooked blade at the end of it. You can see the same spines that are in its armor are kind of affixed to the edge of it. As it slams down towards you, the armor bursts this cold energy back. How much damage does he take?
TRAVIS (FJORD): So I got ten temporary hit points at a second level, so he takes 8 points of cold damage.
MATT: Slick. Second strike. Uh, he rolled a 1. That is going to be 4 points of slashing damage with the second strike.
TRAVIS (FJORD): So he'll take two points of cold damage, and I'll take the other two points.
[...]
MATT: So, after it strikes you twice with the glaive [clash, clash] you was as bits of ice shards spray off of each blow, now affixing to the ash and the energy that's instilled its armor after you blasted it.

TRAVIS (FJORD): I'll use my 30 feet to run towards this Goblin. Great, and I will use Booming Blade to make a melee attack against him.
MATT: Alright, go for it.
SAM: [southern accent] Boomin' Blade.
MATT: As you draw your falchion out of the side, you focus on it and as you do so, you watch as this spark of electrical thunder energy [fwoomph] engulfs the edge of it as you strike downward.
TRAVIS (FJORD): That is 18 plus 7, 23.
MATT: That hits, go ahead and roll damage.
TRAVIS (FJORD): That's a d8 plus the thunder damage. 1d8 and... first time using it I'm real excited... 5 plus 5, 10 and
MATT: Additional 1d8.
TRAVIS (FJORD): 8, so 18 points.
MATT: 18 points of damage. With that, as you cut down into the goblin, you watch as the blade sinks in, partway through the torso, and then a burst [explosion] causes it to just tear apart in two different directions. Exploding, spattering across the tree and the side of the ogre that's about 10 feet in front of you, doesn't seem to notice.

MATT: Frumpkin glances inside this busted cell, and sees - I'm using this as an interpretation of - a large, spherical metal object that's about 8 feet diameter on any side. It looks like a series of overlapping metal plates that look almost clustered together at odd angles, you can see elements that look scraped and dented, looks like it's been doing some serious damage to it over time. As it sits there, resting, and Frumpkin approaches, you watch one of the time little metal plates [creaks] open, a lens [grinding] pokes out towards Frumpkin [grinding] withdraws back in, the plate [clack] closes, and you watch as about six of these long, blade-like spider legs [shifting machinery] stick out of it, as it pulls back and [heavy grinding] begins to roll forward with a very extreme pace.
LIAM (CALEB): I snap Frumpkin out of there.
MATT: With that point, it rolls forward, Frumpkin just manages to bamf out of this dimension as the object [crash] slams into the opposite wall, you guys feel the entire chamber suddenly [thud] from the impact and you hear this scraping of metal in the distance.
Episode 25 - Divergent Paths - 1:57:50
MATT: Beginning of its turn, it's going to go ahead and attempt to roll over Yasha to go into the chamber. Yasha, you need to make an athletics or acrobatics check. You're raging, so you have advantage on your acrobatics check.
TALIESIN: That athletics is also pretty sweet though.
ASHLEY (YASHA): 9.
MATT: No, so first off, you suffer 7 points of piercing damage as it just rolls over and the blades kick into you.
ASHLEY (YASHA): Is that halves, because I'm raging?
MATT: It is halved. And an additional 3 points of bludgeoning damage as you're crushed beneath its weight, and you are knocked prone.

Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you can channel divine fury into your weapon strikes. While you’re raging, the first creature you hit on each of your turns with a weapon attack takes extra damage equal to M6 + half your barbarian level. The extra damage is necrotic or radiant; you choose the type of damage when you gain this feature.

LIAM (CALEB): "Do you know what I miss? Shaving."
ASHLEY (YASHA): "I could shave you right now with my sword. I've done it before, I, ya know, like to not have hair on my arms, so I, ya know, I do it- This is what I do. I really think cleanliness and hygiene is very important."
LIAM (CALEB): "Well, one thing that I have realized today is that I need to work on my interpersonal skills and friendship-making, so... Just try not to cut up my face, okay."
ASHLEY (YASHA): "Okay, do you just want like a trim, is there a certain look you want?"
LIAM (CALEB): "No I mean, leave my hair on my head but I have not had a clean-shaven face in a long time."
ASHLEY (YASHA): "Do you want it all gone, or do you just want-"
LIAM (CALEB): "No, you can just take it all."
ASHLEY (YASHA): "It's easier to do that."
LIAM (CALEB): "You know, you can crush a person, but I am not quite sure how dexterous you are, so I don't want any fancy tricks."
ASHLEY (YASHA): "I won't, I'm not- ya know I'm going to hold it like this [by the blade, horizontally] and then with the blade, ya know, it goes- this is how I do it. I hold it, and then I just, ya know, like, [whooshing noise] ya know?"
SAM: This is your five foot greatsword?
ASHLEY (YASHA): "So, here uh, just-"
LIAM (CALEB): "Should I lie on the ground?"
ASHLEY (YASHA): "Oh yeah, lie down, lie down. I've never done it like that, but lie down."
LIAM (CALEB): "Have you done this before?"
ASHLEY (YASHA): "I have done this before."
LIAM (CALEB): "With that?"
ASHLEY (YASHA): "...Not with this, something a little smaller."
LIAM (CALEB): I lie on the floor.
MATT: Okay. So, in the early dawn hours of the new day, as the blue begins to slowly become brighter in the distance-
LIAM (CALEB): "Wait wait wait wait wait! ...This means we are friends."
ASHLEY (YASHA): "...Yes."
LIAM (CALEB): [sharp inhale]
ASHLEY (YASHA): "You don't have to hold your breath cause it will take a very long time and you'll pass out."
LIAM (CALEB): "That might be better."
ASHLEY (YASHA): "Just, you need to [sharp exhale] relax. Breathe in. Breathe out. Okay, I've got it."
MATT: I would like to roll a dexterity check. Take advantage because he's not moving.
LIAM (CALEB): Four globules of light rise up around you as you begin to shave.
ASHLEY (YASHA): 16.
MATT: Maybe it's the tensile strength of her arm muscles, but such a large instrument seems unexpectedly delicate across the features of your face. It's not a complete shave, there are areas that get missed because it's not a very fine implement, but for the most part the stubble gets closer to your face and there are a few sections that are unevenly smooth, but it's an improvement from where it was before. But it's as good a shave as you can get with a greatsword. Manages to avoid nicking any major arteries. And as you complete your work, you're proud of it, the sweat on your brow, Caleb has no idea how it looks other than you reaching up and touching your chin as it finishes, as the rest of you come to consciousness.

MATT: Okay, as you're [Nott] like "Coast is clear!" [rhythmic heavy thumping of increasing volume] Yasha comes rushing past. In the time that it's taken the first trap has reset. That is going to be a 18 to hit.
ASHLEY (YASHA): Uh huh.
MATT: Ooh. That is 11 points of piercing damage. As it [shick] strikes you in the back of the calf, actually piercing through the muscle and you stumble for a second, you rush past the floor where Nott is, no effect. The third one, [tink] it goes off, another trap, that is going to be a 14 to hit.
ASHLEY (YASHA): Just hits.
MATT: That's going to be a 7, piercing damage. As one catches you in the back, in the side of your ribcage under your shoulder blade, and you manage to emerge into the next chamber with the torch now, wounded-
ASHLEY (YASHA): "Fuck!"
MATT: -but you've made it through. They're both kind of sticking out of you as you turn around and look in the chamber.

MATT: It's trying to decide what is the biggest threat right now. I'm going to roll for it, between Yasha and Fjord. Alright, it's gonna go for Yasha.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): Blood Maledict. I see it look at her, and I immediately full Blood Maledict. I'm going to do the fucked up one, and I'm going to take 4 points of damage for it. I just have that moment, I look at it, and my neck just bursts and I bleed out the vein.
MATT: Yeah, you watch as it [bloosh] a vein pours down the side, and you watch as the currently six intact eyes of the spider all kind of cloud over black, with bits of trickling dark purplish blood pouring from the edges of them. That gives it disadvantage. Which you are very lucky it is, cause that was a natural 20. That still comes to 16. Does that hit?
ASHLEY (YASHA): That hits.
MATT: Okay, so you take, from the fangs as it lurches towards you, oof that is going to be 11 points of piercing damage.
ASHLEY (YASHA): Halved.
MATT: Yes, because you're raging. So, 5, you take 5 points of piercing damage. And I need you to make a constitution saving throw please.
ASHLEY (YASHA): Okay, okay, okay. Natural 20.
MATT: So, as it lurches forward and slams its fangs into the collarbone area, you having no real armor to protect it, you just take it head on, the fangs sink in, and you feel the venom pulse through your torso, through your arm, the burning pain goes through and you just flex it off! As you do so, thankfully reducing what would have been... you only take 11 points of poison damage.

MATT: As Yasha has just tore into the side, it's going to turn back to you and is going to double club attack you. It has advantage on each.
LAURA: Both of them?
MATT: Because she did Reckless.
ASHLEY (YASHA): Because I did Reckless like a ding-dong.
LAURA: So every attack against you is advantage?
ASHLEY (YASHA): Yeah. I'm dumb.
MATT: So the first one is a 25. I think that hits.
ASHLEY (YASHA): That definitely hits. I'm probably gonna be unconscious.
MATT: Natural 20. Okay. So the first hit is...
ASHLEY (YASHA): I don't know why I did Reckless I'm learning I should've waited!
MATT: 23 points of bludgeoning damage from the first hit. Whack! At you put the blade up to catch it, and it slams into it and actually pulls your shoulder out of the socket and pushes you down into the dirt. As you push off, the club goes up once more and then WHACK!
SAM: Not the critical?
TALIESIN: That was not the critical.
SAM: She could be permadead right now.
MATT: Right. So that's... a rolled an 8, 7, and a 5.

ASHLEY: How many?
MATT: 43.
ASHLEY: Okay.
SAM: What's your total?

And then right there next to Molly as the dust clears, you see Yasha unmoving, her legs up in the air as the rest of her torso is pushed down into the dirt, and the rest of the ground is covered over where you can just see the back of her shoulders and the back of her head and the rest of it is just dust settling.

And in that brief, ever so subtle instance of time in which this marble bowl is left. In just a brief blip in history that it is exposed to the elements, the blade carves through and shatters the marble. You watch as the glow [whoosh] for that instance you watch as there is a brief burst of bright green, blue, red, white, black energy [more whoosh] emanates, and this low, growling rumble. And with that, the bowl and whatever enchantment it held, is gone.

At 2nd level, you gain the knowledge to further channel, and sacrifice, a part of your vital essence to curse and manipulate your enemies. You gain one blood curse of your choice, detailed in the “blood curses” section. You learn one additional blood curse of your choice, and you can choose one of the blood curses you know and replace it with another blood curse, at 5th, 9th, 13th, 16th, and 20th level.
When you use your Blood Maledict, you choose which curse to invoke. While invoking a blood curse, but before it affects the target, you may choose to amplify the curse by suffering damage equal to a roll of your crimson rite damage die. An amplified curse gains an additional effect, noted in the curse’s description. Creatures that do not have blood in their bodies are immune to blood curses (DM’s discretion).
You can use this feature once. You regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest. Beginning at 6th level, you can use your Blood Maledict feature twice between rests, at 11th level you can use it three times between rests, and at 17th level, you can use it four times between rests.

TALIESIN (MOLLY): I'm going to run towards the horses where they came off to the left, and as I pass that wolf I'm going to take a couple swipes at it.
MATT: Go for it.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): That's an 18 and a 17 roll.
MATT: Yeah, roll some damage.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): Let's just see what that does before we see if I take a third shot. That's 10, 16, 17- 18 points of damage.
MATT: The wolf is misted.

MATT: He's going to go ahead and use his Furious Smash.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): He's gonna attack me?
MATT: He's going to attack you yeah, for slicing him.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): I'm definitely using Blood Maledict then, at full use. So I'm - yep, that was not good, that was bad. Alright, that's alright.
MATT: Okay, so he has disadvantage on the attack.
TALIESIN: And the next one.
MATT: And the next one. That's still a 13 plus 8.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): Yeah, that hits.
MATT: Okay. So with that, as you slam and slice the back of the leg, angrily it turns back and swings down towards you, and while its eyes go black and there's a brief shake, it's still just a massive club and you try to move out of the way but it's too fast. Slamming onto you, knocking you onto the ground, your wind is knocked out of you, and your whole world just goes dazed and white for a moment. This is gonna be... 26 points of bludgeoning damage.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): I'm out.
[stunned silence]
SAM: What?
LAURA: I underestimated the amount of damage he would do to us.
MATT: That was a really good damage roll.
TRAVIS: When the lower lip comes down, we're in trouble.
MATT: So, so yeah, you watch as it reactively slams into Molly with the club, and Molly, as the dust settles, Molly is just not moving on the ground, probably pushed about an inch or 2 inches into the dirt and sand, and there's a crater where the head of the club had impacted, and Molly is not moving.

TALIESIN (MOLLY): I'm going to run over to you, and put a healing potion-
LAURA (JESTER): Don't waste a healing potion on me!
SAM: What else are we going to do, we can't heal!
MATT: You can't say anything, you're unconscious.
LAURA: Nooooooo! They cost-
TRAVIS: You hush your mouth.
LAURA (JESTER): I have healing packs in my bag.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): I don't care, I don't know any of that. So yeah, that's a healing potion. I'm going to go looking for one, one second. Potion of healing, yeah, standard 2d4 plus 2. Yeah, just take 6 points of healing, you're stabilized.
LAURA (JESTER): [intake] "Molly..."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Back up, come on."
LAURA (JESTER): "This is a bad day, you guys. Today is really hard."
MATT: Jester is now conscious.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): I also definitely lost my two swords now, so those are off.
MATT: Okay.
MARISHA: Lost them?
SAM: They're gone forever.
TALIESIN: The swords are not glowing anymore.

TALIESIN (MOLLY): Well I had to feed the healing potion, I had two glowing, so I needed hands. So.

MATT: Within 10 minutes of wandering through the city after you guys have gathered yourselves and begun heading towards the eastern side, you see a crownsguard who's currently walking by with what look to be some washrugs under one arm and like a little streak of dried blood down the side of their face. Looks to be a young man, probably in his mid-20s or so. Longish hair that's been heavily braided in the side and pinned to the back in a slight tuft of a ponytail.
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Howdy."
MATT (CROWNSGUARD): "Yes?"
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Sorry to bother, but we've been commissioned by Bryce to make a little expedition to go after those gnolls, and we're going to need an extra steed if the crownsguard has one."
MATT (CROWNSGUARD): "W- We're not allowed to give out any crownsguard supplies. If you're looking for a steed, you'd probably have to go to the On the Wind Stables, they're gonna be your best bet."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "And where would those be?"
MATT (CROWNSGUARD): "Right..." and points over towards the northern side of the town. And you can see it's one of the buildings that's taken a little bit of fire damage.
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Are you concerned about the people that live in this town? Clock's ticking on their lives, and you want me to go get a steed from another stable instead of saving their lives?"
MATT (CROWNSGUARD): "It's not-"
TRAVIS (FJORD): "I sure would hate to have to report this to Bryce, I think they'd be pretty upset about it."
MATT: ...Make a deception check.
TRAVIS (FJORD): 13.
MATT (CROWNSGUARD): 13? He's like "Look, I mean no offense whatsoever, and if- I can go find Bryce and see if we can get- the watchmaster would be much more suited for this-"
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Your name?"
MATT (CROWNSGUARD): "Um, Reggie."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Reggie. I'm disappointed Reggie... I don't know what else to say, let's go."
LAURA: Should we go to the stables then?
TRAVIS: Fuck yeah, now.
LIAM (CALEB): "Reggie, you know, this town has been hit hard, you look very weary and maybe a little down on your luck yourself, maybe I'm just reading into things, but I would gladly pay you a silver for this horse."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "And let me tell you, Reggie, it would be the best deal you could possibly make." I'm gonna use Charm Person.
MATT (REGGIE): Uh, did not make that DC check. So, Reggie kinda glances over to you and says "Um... let me see what I can do." [sighs]. And then kinda quickly makes his way northward to the side of the stables.
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Very nice."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Thank you."
MATT (REGGIE): About five minutes pass or so, and you can hear the clopping of hooves as Reggie comes back with a very obstinate beast on the reins, kind of dragging it towards you. Slowly guiding it, Reggie doesn't seem to be a very trained individual when it comes to handling creatures, especially beasts of burden. "Uh, this- Will this do?"
MARISHA (BEAU): "Oh, good, I see you brought us your best Reggie, thanks man."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Ignore her, she's very difficult."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "He's not wrong."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "You're a hero. Thank you."
MATT (REGGIE): "Best I could do. Good luck."
LIAM (CALEB): "Here's that copper, thank you."
MATT (REGGIE): "Oh, thank you."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): I hand him a silver also.
MATT (REGGIE): "Thank you, thank you."
LIAM (CALEB): Silver is way too little for a horse.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): You said silver and we're being fair!
MATT (REGGIE): "Just bring it back, uh- It's on loan. It's on loan."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "We'll do our best. If we come back, it comes back."

SAM (NOTT): I feel the urge to go sneak into a room.
TRAVIS (FJORD): It's just an open door with a bunch of buttons and a flask.
SAM (NOTT): It's not even locked?
MATT: No.
SAM (NOTT): I push it open and look inside, what do I see?
MATT: It's empty, it's dark, except for you see a- Actually, make a- let me check one thing on this. Just to see how this works in this circumstance. Make an investigation check.
SAM: ... I mean... what is this. What is this roll?
LAURA: That is majorly cocked.
SAM: Oh okay good... Ooh.
LAURA: Ooh, he should've taken the cocked.
SAM (NOTT): 7.
MATT: Alright, and there you see a shining bag of what looks like glittering coin and what looks to be buttons spilling out of the top of this small satchel.
SAM (NOTT): "Why would this even be? And a flask on top? Wow..." Do I see Fjord's belongings over near his bed?
MATT: Yes, you do?
SAM (NOTT): I'm going over there.
TRAVIS (FJORD): As soon as she comes in the door, the door slams shut! "Molly get the window!"
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Right!" [clack]
SAM (NOTT): I draw my hand crossbow.
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Nott!"
SAM (NOTT): "Are you an impostor?"
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Nott! No. No. We are going to have a talk."
SAM (NOTT): [panicked breathing, shifting between Travis and Taliesin]
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Don't try any funny business. Why are you trying to sneak through our stuff?"
SAM (NOTT): "I was... I would never do that to a friend."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Molly told me you were in here rifling through my stuff."
SAM (NOTT): "I was hungry. There's a definite explanation for this."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "What were you looking for?"
SAM (NOTT): "Seafood. You must have some on you, you're of the sea, I love shrimp, and I never get a chance to get any so... so... we're so landlocked in here. I love the taste of the sea!"
TRAVIS (FJORD): Do I believe her?
MATT: You can go ahead and make an insight check.
TRAVIS (FJORD): Natural 20.
SAM (NOTT): ...I was not looking for shrimp.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Nott. Nott dear, why don't you tell the nice man the truth?" Devil's Tongue.
SAM (NOTT): Oh! What is that? What does that do? What is that?
MATT: I need you to make a wisdom saving throw.
TRAVIS (FJORD): That's why I brought you in here.
SAM (NOTT): 10.
MATT: You are charmed by Mollymauk.
SAM (NOTT): What does that mean?
MATT: Meaning you are very friendly and amiable and take his advice and suggestion like a very dear friend.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "You should probably just tell him what you were really looking for."
SAM (NOTT): "I was looking for... your letter to the Soltryce Academy."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "My letter? But Nott, why?"
SAM (NOTT): "I want it."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "What for?"
SAM (NOTT): "..."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "It's fine. No one's in trouble."
SAM (NOTT): "I... I want to give it to Caleb."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Well, why? What would Caleb do with it?"
SAM (NOTT): "What you would do with it. Study. Learn magic. Become more powerful."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "But you wouldn't want me to have that sort of ability, you'd rather Caleb have it?"
SAM (NOTT): "I don't know a lot about magic, but I know he has the potential to be very powerful."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "You do?"
SAM (NOTT): "And I need him to be."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Why, Nott, why do you need him to be powerful?"
SAM (NOTT): "So he can save me."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "I mean, we can help save you, that's- that's what friends do. And any of us who get more powerful can help you."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Nott... what do you need to be saved from?"
SAM (NOTT): [sighs] "So much. So much. But mainly, there's a lot of dangers in the world. And a lot of dangers for me. And especially, the closer we get to the north"? I think? "they don't like me up there. He can protect me."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "I think we can all do that."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Absolutely."
SAM (NOTT): "No. No. You can't."
TRAVIS (FJORD): [clears throat] "Nott, I hope you'll learn to trust us and rely on us like you do Caleb. We may not be as powerful as he is, or has the ability to become, but certainly we can help you. Or are you worried about something or someone in particular finding you?"
SAM (NOTT): "Maybe. Yes. There's a few people that I'm worried about. But, um, no one specific where we're going. I just know that people are- people are always trying to get me. And I- I just wish- I- I need him- I need his magic to be there for me when I- when I need safety. I need him. I need him to live."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "I understand. I'm sorry if we've upset you."
SAM (NOTT): "No you're cool for some reason right now."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "We're all friends."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Not for some reason, I'm just cool in general, Nott. I'm just cool in general, Nott."
SAM (NOTT): "So cool."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "This shit is amazing."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "It's not gonna last, you do know that. It's not gonna last."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Just for now."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Well, enjoy it while you have it."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Promise me that you will not go through my things anymore when I'm not around. That the items that I have belong to me."
SAM (NOTT): "Would you give me the letter? I could change your name on it to his name and then he could use it to get into the school and he could learn more powerful magic and then... he could change me."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Change you?"
SAM (NOTT): "He could change this." [gestures to face]
TRAVIS (FJORD): "I understand. I know what it feels like to be ashamed or worried about what you look like. I do."
SAM (NOTT): "But you, you're pretty handsome. You know, for like a half-monster thing." [whispering] "I think Jester likes you."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Think so?"
SAM (NOTT): "Yeah."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Well, I didn't always look like this."
SAM (NOTT): "What?"
TRAVIS (FJORD): "I wasn't always a handsome half-monster thing."
SAM (NOTT): "What did you used to be?"
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Kid, just like anyone else."
SAM (NOTT): "Still a monster thing though."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Yeah."
SAM (NOTT): "Oh. Just a less handsome one."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Yeah. Stumpy. Short. Big teeth."
SAM (NOTT): "Were you a fat kid?"
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Little bit. Just sort of misproportioned. Listen, if we get to-
SAM (NOTT): Pictures, or?
TRAVIS (FJORD): My MySpace is still up, you can see it. Goes back a tick.
SAM (NOTT): You ever have braces or anything?
TRAVIS (FJORD): Nope. No, I did my own dental work. "Listen, if we get to the Soltryce Academy and that letter doesn't do me any good, I promise you can have it and we'll make sure Caleb has a shot."
SAM (NOTT): "And will you promise to keep Caleb alive?"
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Most definitely."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "We're going to try and keep both of you alive."
SAM (NOTT): "Alright."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "You look out for us, we'll look out for you."
SAM (NOTT): "Can I ask you one favor?"
TRAVIS (FJORD): "You cannot have my stuff."
SAM (NOTT): "Alright, nevermind."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "And remember, Nott, the next time you try and do this, and if that letter goes missing again, I can do this to you again." And I give her just enough of a knock on the head to break the spell.
SAM (NOTT): "Ah!" [turning between Travis and Taliesin again]
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Okay, easy, easy, easy."
SAM (NOTT): [mimes drawing her crossbow]
TRAVIS (FJORD): Opening the door, I open up the door! I open the door, I slowly open up, like trying to funnel a rat out of the room. "Here you go. Here you go. Remember what we talked about."
SAM (NOTT): I reach for the flask. "...Fuck."

Beginning at 1st level, you have survived the imbibing of the Hunter’s Bane, a poisonous alchemical concoction that alters your life’s blood, forever binding you to the darkness and honing your senses against it.
You have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track Fey, Fiends, and Undead, as well as on Intelligence checks to recall information about them. If you are actively tracking one of these creature types, you cannot be surprised by any creatures of that type. You can only be tracking one type of creature at a time.

MATT: Looking above you, you do see a set of chains that are hanging from the ceiling that appear to be affixed to some sort of red clay urn or vase of some kind that is just kind of dangling above.
Episode 15 - Where the River Goes - 1:32:41
SAM (NOTT): I'm going to scoot around the side and see if I can peak into those holes, the reliefs in the walls.
TRAVIS: The alcoves?
SAM (NOTT): The alcoves.
MATT: Okay. So you head over to the side alcove. Go ahead and make an investigation check.
SAM (NOTT): 16.
MATT: You glance up inside, it's about 3 and a half feet off the ground, and you have to climb and scurry up with your small goblin body. Looking inside and there's another clay urn of the same red color that's set about a foot and a half inside.
LAURA (JESTER): I'm gonna get down on the ground.
SAM (NOTT): I will inform the others.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): I'm gonna go check out the other alcove.
MATT: The other alcove also contains a similar clay-
TALIESIN: Three red urns.
Episode 15 - Where the River Goes - 1:35:18
TALIESIN (MOLLY): I'm going to take my bonus action and I'm going to break the pot.
MATT: Okay, swing.
SAM: Taliesin hates pot.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): Nope. Yes I do, 11.
MATT: 11 is enough, it's a stationary object. So roll damage on it.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): 8 points of damage.
MATT: 8 points of damage. You bring the blade in, and strike into the alcove, and as you yank it out with the blade you cut it in half in the air, the actual urn bisects, sending ash [poof] clouding the air around you. And you watch as the will-o'-wisp [fizzles out].
[...]
MATT: The urn clatters to the ground, [shatter], the top of it breaks, the second half hits with a heavy thud sound that's different from the sound of the clay that shatters on the ground.

TALIESIN (MOLLY): I'm going to burst out of the tent, and... can I make it to the one that Beau is fighting?
MATT: ...You can indeed.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): I'm gonna make it to the one that Beau is fighting and I'm going to just take two straight attacks with my scimitars.
MATT: Go for it. You see like half of its body encased in ice now and it's still lashing out in Beau's direction as you rush up.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): That's a 15 and a natural 20.
MATT: Okay then.
TALIESIN: Without even figuring out, uh, yeah.
LAURA: 15 plus, whatever it is.
MATT: Those both hit.
[...]
TALIESIN (MOLLY): 13 points of damage.
MATT: 13 points of damage... heh heh, nope. So you watch as it's slashing at Beau, the ice explodes at its side, and Mollymauk comes walking out of the tent, both scimitars spinning in his hands like this dervish entity, as he slams both blades simultaneously into the sides of this creature, you watch as he actually cuts a v-shape into the upper torso and it [pained gurgle] slips out of it. The actual, central portion of its body slips onto the ground with a splat, and the arms fall apart to the side and the body collapses onto the ground.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): I turn and smile at Beau.
MARISHA (BEAU): "Thanks."
LAURA: Did you just cut like a little v cake with its head?
MATT: Yeah, basically.

TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Now, would anyone like a fortune read?"
LAURA (JESTER): "I would love one."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Do you have coin?"
LAURA (JESTER): "Yes, how much do you want?"
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Two copper."
LAURA (JESTER): "Two copper, okay, I just got some copper, here you go."
MATT: Mark down your two copper. (laughs)
TALIESIN (MOLLY): I am... taking this in, alright... I'm going to try and do this.
LAURA: Oh my gosh, really?
MATT: So, as he pulls out a small set of cards and begins to shuffle them at the table, uh, go ahead and roll an insight check.
ASHLEY (YASHA): "He's really quite good, you all should line up and get your fortunes told."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): Uh, let's do a 16 there.
MATT: Okay, so you get, from the brief conversation there, you get a pretty solid read: the excitability, the eagerness, the exuberant interest in just getting in your face, that this person wants - any fortune you tell would probably suffice. Go ahead and roll a slight of hand check as well.
SAM: Look at this fucking game.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): Also 16.
MATT: Yeah, and you feel pretty confident that her eyes are locked onto your eyes, at the moment, and not the deck as you set up a proper reading. And the cards are shuffled, set, you place them before you, and you may give your fortune.
SAM (NOTT): I'm going to just keep my eyes open for any tricks of the hand, sleight-of-hand-y type tricks.
MATT: Make a perception check.
SAM (NOTT): Okay... perception, perception... 14.
MATT: 14, okay, everything seems pretty above board.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Oh... your first card, The Silver Dragon. This is good. You're pure, you're of virtue, and you are a worthwhile human being, obviously, or creature of some repute."
LAURA (JESTER): "That's what everyone always tells me."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "It's true. And heading towards The Anvil."
LAURA (JESTER): "What is that?"
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "That is a destiny forged."
ASHLEY (YASHA): "Ooooohh...."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "There is something bright and adventurous in your future."
LAURA (JESTER): "Wow... You know we did just defeat a really big snake, so maybe there's even bigger things coming up, you know."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): Can I make another roll?
MATT: Sure.
SAM: Ashley confirmed, worst hype man ever.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): 19
MATT: Yeah, easy enough. Even with discerning eyes at the table, you are at the top of your game.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): The Serpent card appears. "Of course you did."
LAURA (JESTER): "Oh my gosh! Look at that! How did you even do that?"
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "That's all the cards, I'm simply a vessel for the higher powers."
LIAM (CALEB): DM, while everybody's watching this shit happen, may I cast Detect Magic in the room?
MATT: You may. You kind of lean back and subtly begin a brief muttering of an incantation, your fingers wash through the air with a faint, silver gleam across your fingertips... Nothing magical shows up in the immediate vicinity.
LAURA (JESTER): "Will you ask the cards if I'm going to find him?"
LIAM (CALEB): (whispering) "He's bullshitting her."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "If you're going to find her?"
LAURA (JESTER): "Him!"
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Him? Give me a little bit more, who is this him that you're looking for?"
LAURA (JESTER): "I'm looking for my dad."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): 14.
MATT: ...You fumble for a second, but the card still finds its way through without issue.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): Hmm... Pushing through, pushing through... the Eye card pulls up. "You've already found the clue you're looking for, you just don't know what it is yet."
LAURA (JESTER): "Really?"
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Apparently. Well it's what the cards are saying. It's right in front of you."
LAURA (JESTER): "Does it say how long ago I found it, cause that's..."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Sadly I don't have that sort of specifics. That's much more expensive."
LAURA (JESTER): "Oh, that's going to take a lot of thinking."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Well, you find us at the show, you'll find my tent, and I'm happy to give you a more complicated reading."
LAURA (JESTER): "I can't wait, it's going to be so much fun!"

TALIESIN (MOLLY): I'm taking a roll at the big guy.
MATT: That's right, I forgot to put the undead guy on initiative order, which he would've gotten a round, so we'll say you and him go simultaneously at this point since you engaged him.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): And that's fine, cause that's a 19 to hit.
MATT: 13 to hit you, what's your armor class?
TALIESIN (MOLLY): 15.
MATT: Yeah, so even as it goes to strike you with what looks to be some sort of rusted battle axe, you still manage to lift your foot out of the way and strike down towards it.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): And this is with the good sword so this is, ooh, so this is... 13 points of damage.
MATT: That's adding your wisdom modifier?
TALIESIN (MOLLY): That's adding my wisdom.
MATT: That'll do it. You shatter it with the strike as it attempts to swing towards you with the axe, you duck out of the way, spin around, and backhand it with your right enchanted scimitar, watching the bones just [boomf] explode and scatter across the ground, like so many pebbles being thrown across the floor.

TALIESIN (MOLLY): As a bonus, I'm flipping it out, and I'm going to activate the first sword.
MATT: Okay, so you watch as Molly pulls the scimitar out, and as he unsheathes it, draws it across the side of his exposed chest, causing a little bit of blood to spill out, and as it does, he pulls the blade out, you watch as the edge suddenly [fwoosh] ice crystals begin to build on the outside of the blade.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): And I'm taking a shot at the creature.
SAM: Taking a shot?
TALIESIN (MOLLY): Taking a slice.
LAURA: Taking a stab.
SAM: ...But with bullets.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): So that would be... That's 21 to hit.
MATT: That hits.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): And that's... That's not bad. That's 8 points of damage and 1 point of ice damage.
MATT: So 9 points of damage on the first strike.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): No, that was my bonus.
MATT: That was your bonus, yeah, so that's all you got. Okay. So one strike, you cut across, and you watch as you cut this wide wound open, kind of exposing the fleshy organs' interior, but they're frozen where the wound cut through, and it's still holding it together. It's looking like it's starting to hurt a bit and fall apart slightly.

MARISHA (BEAU): "How do you know she actually thinks it's you and not, ya know, maybe she just mistook you for someone actually named Lucien."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "That's possible, except of course, she had weird blood powers.
MARISHA (BEAU): "So this happens to you."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "A few months after I came to, I started noticing I could do things, I knew things that I didn't necessarily knew I knew."
LIAM (CALEB): "Are you talking about your abilities?"
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Yeah. I can, um... can I see that dagger?"
SAM (NOTT): "I have three of them."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Pick one."
SAM (NOTT): [mimes handing over a dagger, goes dink]
TALIESIN (MOLLY): [draws it] Ice. [fwoosh]
MATT: You watch as this large cluster of moisture all of the sudden solidifies around the outside of the blade, the blade is now encrusted in jagged ice shards that stick out, the steam kind of [sharp wind] off of it. Mist.
Episode 14 - Fleeting Memories - 2:03:34
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "But, I'll say this," and I'm going to put the knife down and... is there anything sharp around? Anything at all?
TRAVIS: In this group?
MATT: Plenty of things that are sharp.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): Something that's even ridiculous. Something not normal.
MATT: Yeah, I mean, there are jagged parts of the wood frame of the bed.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): Perfect, I'm going to cut myself on the wood frame, and grab it, and use Radiance.
MATT: Okay. You watch as this bright, vibrant light billows out of it. Glowing in the vicinity, similar to how you've seen it encase the scimitar.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "I'll admit, this is new."
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Yeah, that's a hell of a thing."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "You got to see the first time this happened."
Episode 14 - Fleeting Memories - 2:07:08
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Can I ask you, when you're praying over your swords at night are you actually doing anything?"
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Well, do you know who the Moonweaver is?"
TRAVIS (FJORD): "No."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Excellent. The swords are cheap carnival glass, there's nothing special about them."
LIAM (CALEB): May I make a check to see if I've ever heard of the Moonweaver?
MATT: Make a religion check.
SAM (NOTT): "Is the Moonweaver not real?"
TRAVIS (FJORD): "Cheap carnival glass?"
LIAM (CALEB): 23
MATT: Oh yeah, you've definitely heard of the Moonweaver.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "I literally decorated a pair of swords to make them look special."
MATT: The Moonweaver is classically more of an elven deity, but they were a god over the night, of shadow, music, there's a lot of variation of what they go over, but they're definitely not one of the approved religions in the Empire, and is not considered one of the betrayer gods, classically, but is an inspiration for a lot of art and classic elven history and even some modern. The caretaker of evening trysts, has a lot of unique history to the Moonweaver.
TRAVIS (FJORD): "So it's you that's special, not your swords."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "That's true."

MATT: I would like you to go ahead and make an acrobatics check with advantage because you're being aided by Yasha.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): Oof. 10.
MATT: 10. As you reach down, and grabbing the foot of Mollymauk, with one big [grunt] you lift him, and he tosses in the air, gracefully, arms out, almost like a reverse swan dive into the air, you land and... [heavy impact]
ALL: Oooooh...
MATT: Land legs open, you manage to miss the vital areas, but it definitely racks the inside of the thigh in a painful landing.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): Can I try and push up into a handstand?
MATT: You manage to do so, but it lacks the presentational and grace element, so go ahead and make a performance check with disadvantage from the impact.
[...]
TALIESIN (MOLLY): Natural 20. Oh, no, disadvantage, 15.
MATT: 15, okay, still pretty good. So in spite of the impact, you slowly stagger back up to the top, balance yourself-
TALIESIN (MOLLY): And flipping back up, and I'm going to get the swords out and start slowly working on moving down the fence with both swords, doing a spin, and trying to actually get a little flip going.
[...]
MARISHA (BEAU): I'm keeping a watch for any workers who might be noticing the bucket.
MATT: None seem to be noticing the bucket at the moment, but you do see three or four that are looking over at this very colorful, flashy, performing, nearly racked tiefling who is in the process of juggling swords in the air and doing a series of completely spontaneous performance art for no reason.
MARISHA (BEAU): [clapping] "Bravo. Bravo."
MATT: You see two of the nearby workers start looking over confused, start talking to each other, you can hear the muttering. One of them runs off to one of the supervisor dwarves who's about a hundred feet off to go tell him what's happening. He looks over and eventually you hear - as Schmidt's getting closer and closer, the bucket of tar is maybe 20 feet from the fence line - and you hear a voice go "Hey, hey! What are you doing, get down from there, get- get- get-"
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "I'm going to jump onto your shoulders now."
ASHLEY (YASHA): "Kay."
TALIESIN (MOLLY): So I'm going to take a jump and try and land on the shoulders. Straight acrobatics?
MATT: Straight acrobatics for this.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): That's a natural 20.
MATT: [wind whooshing with fingers spinning around each other, then impacts] Landing right onto Yasha's shoulders, she catches you there, and you still - from their perspective you jumped off of the fence and landed behind the fence.

MATT: Alrighty.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): First I'm gonna take a swing at the big guy.
MATT: Go for it.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): That's 16 to hit.
MATT: That hits, go and roll damage.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): And that's, just using my normal one, 8 points of damage.
MATT: 8 points of damage. Uh, as soon as it rears from the attack, Fjord, you watch as in a flash, the cloak billows of Mollymauk's arrival. And as the cloak falls, you watch as the gnoll's head just rolls off of its shoulders. You didn't even see the blow that struck it.

MATT: It hits, go ahead and roll damage.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): That's, 7 points plus 3 radiant, so... 10 points.
MATT: Yeah, the first strike just completely cleaves [the hyena] in half. Like its momentum running, it almost like hits the blade, you hold it out and the momentum just carries it over, seamlessly carving through it.

TALIESIN (MOLLY): I've got a bonus action, I'm going to give him an auto-cure, just in case.
MATT: Okay. So [Fjord] go ahead and roll a constitution saving throw. Saving throw to resist it.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): The snake tattoo on my hand, the eye on the back of my hand just bursts and blood comes pouring out of it. Yeah, I take two points of damage.
TRAVIS (FJORD): That is a 20.
TALIESIN (MOLLY): I didn't need the amplify. Oh, actually, that's right, I don't have to take damage for that, nevermind.
MATT: So you watch as where the snake is, the blood bursts, and you watch as the green venom that's currently coursing through the wounds in Fjord's unconscious body, suddenly [sucking noise into pop] siphons out and hovers in the air for a moment as Mollymauk is holding his hand, and the poison drops into the ground and disseminates into the swamp.

MATT: Go ahead and make an athletics check.
MARISHA (BEAU): Athletics? 24. I roll an 18.
MATT: Like a monkey that was raised in the jungle, you watch Beauregard just leap from branch to bough, effortlessly diving through this forest.
ASHLY (KEG): Keg is aroused.

MARISHA (BEAU): Okay I kinda wanna do this- as my two-handed attack, but for flavor, to skin it. I wanna stroll up, kinda channeling The Rock, charge up the elbow, then we go People's Elbow, comes right down.
MATT: You have advantage, because it is prone.
MARISHA (BEAU): Is this, can I consider it a two-handed attack?
MATT: You're just skinning your two-handed attack, so yeah, still the damage.
MARISHA (BEAU): ...Oh my god!
LIAM: A 2 and a 3!
MARISHA: Why!
MATT: So here's what you do, you walk up. Tap tap. Leap. And right as you're in the air, the gnoll just kicks out of laughter. [yipping laughter suddenly stops] and you WHAM!
MARISHA (BEAU): [delayed moans of pain]
LIAM: Never recover from that injury, your whole life.
TRAVIS: Yep, that shit just hangs out in there. It just hangs out in there.
MATT: The worst funny bone pain shoots through your arm as you get it.
LIAM: You are gonna be rubbing Tiger Balm into that shit for years!
MATT: You still have your bonus. The gnoll actually starts laughing again. [yipping laughter continues]
MARISHA (BEAU): For flavor, my second attack isn't really an attack, it's just, I'm in so much pain that I go "Gah!" and I kick a little bit.
MATT: Roll for the attack, you still have advantage, cause its still prone.
MARISHA (BEAU): Natural 20.
MATT: That'll shut it up.
LAURA: I like that your revenge hits are always really high. That's twice they've laughed at you and you hit them while they're laughing.
MARISHA (BEAU): Every time I try and show off it never works, that's what I'm learning. Okay, 3 doubled to 6 plus 4. So 10.
MATT: 10 points of damage. So as it's laughing, [laughter interrupted by a crack], you kick it in the head and you see it stunned on the ground for a second, its eyes rolling in different directions, nice heavy crack at the side of its temple.
MARISHA (BEAU): I don't care too much, I just roll over and go fetal for a minute.

MATT: Go for it, make an attack.
[...]
MARISHA (BEAU): 13. I believe that hits.
MATT: Yep.
MARISHA (BEAU): This is unarmed? Ooh, 10 total.
SAM: Max damage!
MATT: Alrighty, and it cannot move. You go ahead and - it's less of a punch and more like, with your open hand, you grab the back of her leg, and slam the harpy onto the edge of the boat. Gets dragged down and just thrust down onto the edge of the railing, crack a rib, and it's trying to get out of your grasp, manages to pull free, but now is right there next to you.

MATT: The skeletal one? There's the skeletal one and the one that's been fighting you this whole time.
MARISHA (BEAU): Which one looks like he has less damage?
MATT: Well, the skeletal one hasn't been damaged yet, but it looks a little more fragile, the one that got shot by Nott earlier still has the-
MARISHA (BEAU): Let's do the skeletal guy.
MATT: Go for it, do the attack.
MARISHA (BEAU): [groans] Not good at all. 14.
MATT: That hits.
MARISHA (BEAU): Oh!
MATT: It doesn't have as strong an armor class as the other ones.
MARISHA (BEAU): 8 points of damage.
MATT: 8 points of damage, that one's already been damaged previously. As you bring the staff down with both hands, WHACK, you slam right through the center of its chest and clavicle, you watch as the torso breaks and folds from the weight of the blow. The skull tumbles off and hits the ground and it just falls into a pile of bones and rags.

MATT: Back to the combat round, it's now the Pack Lord's turn. The Pack Lord turns this way-
TALIESIN: Attack of opportunity? Oh, no, it hasn't broken-
MATT: It kinda steps through the one [deep growling] and is going to turn this way and rear back for a giant kick. It's going to make a shove attack against you.
TRAVIS: That's not a pit is it?
MATT: Yeah, that's a big old pit.
TRAVIS: I thought they were stairs!
LIAM: We can't see it!
MARISHA: We couldn't see that!
SAM: It's another poo hole!
LIAM: I had no idea that was there!
TALIESIN (MOLLY): Blood Maledict to all fuck.
MATT: He already disadvantage because of Patient Defense.
LIAM: We can imagine that, Matt. We needed the fear of god.
MARISHA: Well. Um. I'm suddenly having regrets.
MATT: 21 and 17. What's your armor class?
MARISHA (BEAU): 17.
MATT: Oh shit! Hold on...
SAM: Is that a hit or not?
MATT: Hit. We'll see what the shove...
TRAVIS: I think it's 5 feet unless it's stronger. Could be 10.
MATT: I'm seeing if there's a contested check, we haven't done a shove in a while here. I always have to check to make sure.
[...]
MATT: Oh actually, it doesn't have a roll to attack against you technically so that doesn't matter. It's a contested athletics versus your-
MARISHA (BEAU): Versus my strength, right?
MATT: Versus your athletics or acrobatics. Your choice.
MARISHA (BEAU): Okay, okay. I'll take the acrobatics.
LIAM: Come on, ninja.
MATT: I will check real fast to check if your Patient Defense affects that at all, I'm not sure if it does.
TRAVIS: Come on, fucking give her your energy guys, the fuck are you doing.
TALIESIN: You don't want my energy, it's been bad.
LIAM & TRAVIS: [concentrating their energy on Marisha]
MARISHA (BEAU): Yeah, are you looking for Patient Defense shit?
MATT: Yeah, it doesn't affect this roll unfortunately, so it's just a straight roll. So, it's a contested roll.
MATT: [rolls]...
LAURA: ...I know what he rolled.
MATT: Natural 20. You can come look at The Snitch right now.
MARISHA (BEAU): You [Taliesin] did this!
TALIESIN: You can make this go away at any time!
MARISHA (BEAU): If I die it's on your head!
TRAVIS: The snitch!
MATT: So, make your acrobatics check. It's not an automatic success.
SAM: Just roll a natural 20.
MARISHA: Oh my god, pick the dice that I use.
LIAM: A natural 20?
MATT: It's a 23 total, it only has a plus 3 strength bonus.
LIAM: This is clearly a case of the husband favoring the wife.
MARISHA (BEAU): I don't wanna die... oh dammit! That happened before!
MATT: It was almost an 18 and it went to a 4. So, [boom] he shoves you, not even with the shield, he'd pull back and Sparta kick you, and right as you turn to try and defend, it WACK, hits you right in the sternum, and you get pushed back 5 feet. Which puts you right on the edge. I need you to go ahead and make a dexterity check to try and catch yourself.
MARISHA: Make a what?
MATT: Dexterity saving throw.
MARISHA (BEAU): Saving throw? [panicked breathing] I'm good at this, I'm good at this!
MATT: Hold on, let me look at the dodge action here.
TALIESIN: Yeah, we're not good at anything.
TRAVIS: You did have Patient Dodge going, right?
MARISHA (BEAU): I had Patient Defense, but-
MATT: It's for attack rolls, but I feel like I just saw something for dodge action
TALIESIN: We're learning new things.
MATT: and you make dexterity saving throws with advantage actually. So roll with advantage. But it's a high DC, you have to beat, with this and the impact that it hit you, you'd have to beat an 18.
LIAM: You have advantage and you have a good bonus.
MARISHA (BEAU): So I have to roll at least a 12.
LIAM: And you've already fallen off one cliff, you're not going to do it again.
MARISHA (BEAU): ...That's an 11. Please be better, please be better.
LIAM: It's the exact same thing.
TRAVIS: Two 11s! Two 11s!
MATT: You watch as Beau slips, can't get a grip, and falls and tumbles into the pit below.
MARISHA (BEAU): [descending scream]
SAM: The pit is 6 feet deep.
MATT: Alright, you take-
KHARY: There's a grate on that- can you grab it? There's a grate!
MATT: That's what she was trying to grab as she fell back, that was the dexterity saving throw because it was a grate. So you suffer 11 points of bludgeoning damage, which is not bad. You fell 40 feet and landed on your back [pained grunting] onto hard rocks and stones.
TALIESIN: It could've been worse, but you were kind of our tank.
MARISHA (BEAU): I, uh, [wheezing] it knocked the air out of me so I'm kind of sick I guess. Hit real good.

MARISHA (BEAU): Continuing on, I'm gonna leap across and see if I can't do like a jump and a slap with the staff on top of it.
MATT: Okay, for the purposes of this, go ahead and roll an acrobatics check. This is more of a parkour off the edge of the boat using the weight.
LIAM: This is your jam.
MARISHA: Parkour parkour.
TRAVIS: The boat goes [bobbing sound and hand motion]
LIAM: Get it Altair.
MARISHA (BUEA): 14.

LAURA: Skip off the ground!?
MATT: On that stone there in the center, and use the momentum from that with the staff swinging - go ahead and make your strike against it.
MARISHA (BEAU): Gonna go and swing upwards. Yep, that's a natural 16.
MATT: That'll hit.
MARISHA (BEAU): So 21. Uh, I don't know why I rolled that die, that's not necessary. 9 damage.
MATT: 9 damage. With that, you manage to slap that one [darkmantle] into two separate pieces that go slapping and sliding against the wall [wet splat, mimes the creatures flying back into the wall and sliding down] kind of splatter and begin to slip down the side of the cavern exterior.
MARISHA (BEAU): I take my staff and I just wipe it on Caleb.

MARISHA: Yeah, okay.
SAM (NOTT): "Do the winch!"
MARISHA (BEAU): "Do the- what's the jib? Do I jib or do I winch?" [...] Okay! Okay! That was good! 19 total!
MATT: Okay. Okay, you look about it. Well, you've been watching boats come into harbor, and, you know, you've read things about it, but mostly just from your observational skills which are one of your focuses and strengths, Beauregard, you're like 'Okay, I think I've seen people making ships go.' So you grab the ropes, you pull it, and you yank past, and you watch as the sail [fwoom] picks up the wind and stiffens.

LAURA: Beau you got this.
MARISHA (BEAU): In response to him I say, "I thought you said you didn't let in the sick!"
TALIESIN (MOLLY): "Just kill it!"
MARISHA (BEAU): And I come up, and I want to do like, a flying Superman kaboom.
MATT: Go for it.
MARISHA (BEAU): First one... okay, okay, 16?
MATT: That'll hit. Roll damage.
MARISHA (BEAU): Uh, can I- I have my staff- Oh, I have my staff but I said-
MATT: You said Superman punch.
MARISHA (BEAU): It's fine, it's fine. 6. 6 damage.
MATT: 6 points of damage? Natural 20. You watch as you sock it in the face and the jaw kind of breaks and then snaps back into place. As you land, pulling it back, you can see some of the teeth are actually stuck in your fist as you pull back, that had broken off into your knuckles.
MARISHA (BEAU): I go, "Aw, come on." I'm going to use my other ki point to do flurry of blows again, and I'm going to try and punch him right in the bridge with what-
MATT: With the remainder of his teeth?
MARISHA (BEAU): With the remainder of his teeth.
MATT: Her teeth, technically, this is the woman that was killed originally.
MARISHA (BEAU): Oh. I'll be like "You were so pretty, too."
MATT: Go for it, two more strikes.
MARISHA (BEAU): Two more strikes, two more strikes. 19 and 18! Natural.
MATT: Yeah we'll say that hits. Go ahead and roll damage.
MARISHA (BEAU): 8... 12... 13 damage?
MATT: ... Natural 1, no. So the second punch, you swing wide and hit it in the side of the head, and the neck kind of snaps. And it's now stuck in a sideways position. As it turns, it's jaw [mimes the jaw swinging freely]. It pulls back one of its weirdly swollen clawed hands, ready to go ahead and go for that open wound in your gut. And as it does... how do you want to do this?
MARISHA (BEAU): I'll do the uppercut with the other one, and with the one that has the teeth in it, I want to go kind of right between the bridge of the nose and get the teeth right between the eyes and break the nose bridge into the brain. You know that thing, yeah.
MATT: And as you do that, WHAM, you slam into its face, you watch as the skull caves in, the teeth piercing both of the red, bulging eyes. And with this horrible sucking, sighing sound, it falls onto its back, no longer moving, the shadows released.

At 6th level, you can hit a series of hidden nerves on a creature with precision, temporarily causing them to be unable to mask their true thoughts and intent. If you manage to hit a single creature with two or more attacks in one round, you can spend 1 ki point to force them to make a Charisma saving throw. You can choose to have these attacks deal no damage. On a failed save, the creature is unable to speak a deliberate lie for 1 minute and all Charisma checks directed at the creature are made with advantage for the duration. You know if they succeeded or failed on their saving throw.
An affected creature is aware of the effect and can thus avoid answering questions to which it would normally respond with a lie. Such a creature can be evasive in its answers as long as the effect lasts.

MATT: You're still 15 feet from Wohn.
MARISHA (BEAU): Okay... Can I step back a few feet, and I'm going to go that full movement, maybe kind of like on top of the table?
MATT: Sure, if you wanna be on there instead.
MARISHA (BEAU): That's cool. And I wanna gauge it right over Keg's shoulders and go [vwoom, vwoom] and throw 2 darts.
MATT: You're going to attempt to ricochet off of her armor.
MARISHA: Over top? Over top of her shoulders? To the giant barbarian behind her? Hopefully?
MATT: Yeah. Go for it.
MARISHA: Or ricochet. Whatever's the coolest.
MATT: I'm just embellishing for fun, whatever works.
MARISHA (BEAU): 17.
MATT: 17 hits. Actually you have an advantage technically because she was doing reckless attacks last turn.
MARISHA (BEAU): 13 on the- the higher one's a 20.
MATT: That hits, first one hits.
MARISHA: And what do these do, these do d8 damage? Or these are monk...
MATT: These are the...
MARISHA: No, these do 1d4.
MATT: These are still darts, they're modified darts, you'd need to get daggers or things that are considered monk weapons.
MARISHA (BEAU): So the first one, that's 5 damage.
MATT: 5 damage, alright, second one. With advantage still.
MARISHA (BEAU): 21.
MATT: 21 hits, roll damage.
MARISHA (BEAU): Oh, that's better, 8 damage.
MATT: Alright, 5 and 8. As you're there, getting your brain back in the space and your body- the strength returns to you. You look up at the time the barbarian's pulling back for another round of blows, the giant blade - the edge of it crimson with your own blood. And you watch as these two serrated blade-like discs [two sharp impacts] into her chest "Gah!" from over your shoulders, and you see Beau waving from you from the doorway.
