Bloodstone #28 | The Belarch Council pt. 2 | Terra Prime

[00:00:00] You're listening to a Saturday Night Gaming Podcast, Bloodstone, run by the Game Master, Scott Hibbard. Hope you enjoy! It's intelligent.

[00:00:28] Intelligent, right. Because after all, you're walking in. Walking to what now? It's a sealed building where we just walked into the only real entrance. We should have just barred and said it. There's probably a false entrance somewhere where the Belarch goes in and out. Shh. I'm sure it's not stage left of the podium.

[00:00:59] Alright. The chancel of the St. Belasone Cathedral has never felt so vast or suffocating. Candles burn in tall, iron braziers. There will flames bending as if recoiling from the tension gathering in the air. They got one of them incense swinging thing going too. I'm gonna take that from somebody and beat the hell out of somebody else. The vaulted ceiling disappears into shadow and the stained glass windows cast fractured halos across a polished stone floor.

[00:01:24] At the far end of the chamber beneath the towering statue of St. Belasone sits the Belarch, gaunt skeletal draped investments that whisper with every breath that he takes. There's your image. Is it Darth Vader? Probably a two-month doctor. Skeletal. Skeletal.

[00:01:53] Oh, this dude's got- I gotta kill this dude. Look at this dude. It's a little less-punch. How have y'all been not trying to let me shoot this guy the whole time? I just told you I would spit on him for you. And look at all this fire arty around him. Stop. The blitzinger of ghosts did not age well at all. Their sensors release coals of pale smoke that drift like serpents through the air. Good call now. Into the sanctified arena steps Templar Commander Kalen Viermont.

[00:02:24] Would you at his back? Would you at his back? His boots echo like hammer blows. His voice cuts through the incense thick air. Kalen bows only as much as protocol demands. Your eminence, honored council, a green truth from Valguard. He hands the parchments to the Templar guard who then passes them along to the council. Take these parchments and pass.

[00:02:55] Like them with the Peruvius pass. This is a parchment full of incense. Go ahead and line it on that candle over there and pass them along. The seminary archives have been altered. Entire history is erased. Two students, Lilitha and Veyron, stricken from existence. A murmur ripples to the council. One bishop steps forward, voice sharp. Commander, these are serious accusations. You claim tampering in the holiest archives of the church? Another scoffs.

[00:03:24] Convenient that your evidence is damaged beyond verification. Lost some children? The Balak has. A third narrows her eyes at you. And these adventurers are your witnesses? These heathens? How did you know I was a heathen? How dare you? Who are you to tell me what gods I worship, especially gods of time and space? I get very upset whenever he says I'm a heathen. I don't even know what he means. I don't even know what he means.

[00:03:54] Kaelin's jaw tightens. They spoke with the twins themselves. They saw what the church tried to bury. And then all eyes turned towards you, the party. This is your turn to speak with me. It's mostly because he is a oozy pile of armor. He's a pile of armor. She doesn't even wear clothes. What? Well, I mean, come on now. Me?

[00:04:20] He's lightly dressed for a church service. He doesn't even have a shirt on. This isn't a church service. This isn't a church service. I just have clothes on. He's ambitious. He doesn't know that. He doesn't even have a shirt on. Can we stop? I don't have a shirt on. I've got a fox with six legs. They could be staring at anything. Can I spit on him? Yes. God stamp with that name in the morning.

[00:04:50] Wait, why is Hydra here? Can I spit on him yet? I'm just waiting for me and Laura to be able to spit on him. I have decent presence if you would like me to be the one. Are we talking to him? We're only talking. We're just talking. Right now, we're presenting evidence. What's your presence? Oh my God. Plus three. Plus three? What's your presence now? Plus three.

[00:05:20] That's not him doing it. He's super effective. We just want to spit on him. He does come up with crazy things to say though. You know that. Like if we tell her to say something, she's just gonna- You know you want to attack him, right? Right. But I want to surprise attack him. If we want to attack him. Oh yeah. She says what you tell her to say. He says whatever's going to get us killed. Or join forces with us. Honestly, she does often say some shit. Honestly, which one's more fun? The one-

[00:05:49] Talk to him. Okay. As the council looks at you and says, we're waiting. Well hold on to your horses. Wait, wait, wait. Huddle up. Huddle up. Huddle up. I don't even know what that means. He called you a son of a birch. Oh yeah? No, did you? I'm a son of an oak, sir. Is this going to affect their ability to spit on him? Probably.

[00:06:20] It might. It seems like something you would want to have like the element of it. If he does well, like if he null jostings this, then we will have the ability to spit on this guy. Oh, we're spinning him regardless. We're going to spit on him regardless. But, like they spit acid, I spit fire. But, if he fails this, he gets fear and everybody in the room attacks us. All I'm saying then is we have an opportunity to start the combat now.

[00:06:50] And it's with you. Go. Do it. Um. I wanted to spit on him first. You wouldn't be expecting it. I'm your hype man. I'm just like, first of all. Wait, go for it. He told you you were a son of a bird. I have rolled super bi. Actually, seven. First action roll. There you go. To the action! That's why I actually rolled a second.

[00:07:16] I'm going to use my divine guidance, which is one of my experiences for a plus two. I never actually received the tokens, so I currently have two left. Oh. That is a 19 plus two plus three, so 19 plus five is 24. With hope. So I got the hope back. Oh. No.

[00:07:47] Do I get the hope back from experience? Yeah. You get it back. Then yeah, so I got it back. The only reason why you wouldn't get hope back is if you're in your world. Oh, whoa. Because then you mark a stress. So I've got three hope right now. She left with her own dad. What do you say? Oh. Do you tell the story? Yeah.

[00:08:09] I tell the story about the experiences that we've had so far, including meeting and talking with the twins. Tell him we don't know who the twins belong to. They're crazy. We don't know anything about it. Make up bullshit right now. I do that. Bullshit this dude. That's my God. He just says bullshit bullshit like out loud twice. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:08:40] Yeah. We met the twins and they were bullshitting us. So we bullshitted them back. I don't know if they have bulls here. I don't understand. The council, they erupt. And they start talking to each other and talking over each other. Oh, that's better. I thought they erupted. Like flames. They say impossible. Blasphemy. The bellark would never. And then a sound. Soft. Dry.

[00:09:10] The bellark laughs. I feel like you gave me some spit. Open your mouth. Let us spit in here. She's not here. The chamber freezes. The bellark lifts his head and his thin lips curling to a smile that does not reach his hollow eyes. My dear council, my loyal commander, and our brave guests. You have done well. Yes, I have sired two children. Gas rippled through the council.

[00:09:41] Born under unfortunate circumstances. Tainted blood, a stain upon my legacy. He lifts his staff and you see the bloodstone gem pulsing faintly with crimson light. The seminary was a final attempt to cleanse them. To sanctify what should never have been. But they failed me. They failed the church and so I cast them out. I erase them as any good shepherd erases a diseased lamb.

[00:10:15] Is the lamb meek? Because I think I've heard some shit. Is he done yet? I don't know. The council stares at him not with outrage but with dawning horror. And then recognition. A connection only they understand. One bishop steps back, another hisses, and a third bears elongated canines. Ooh. I forgot they were there. The crimson vestments ripple as their bodies shift, skin pilling, eyes darkening, veins blackening beneath the surface.

[00:10:45] The belllark's personal templars at the doors do not move. They were never meant to. So you see these templars right here in the center? The council surrens the belllark in a tightening circle. You fool! One snarls, voice now layered with a predatory growl. You hid behind this facade when we know your true nature. After all these years you have finally revealed yourself. And then a third, and a bloodstone belongs to the count.

[00:11:14] This is what their true form looks like. Oh, that's what I thought they always look like. These are the bishops? Yeah. So the bishops are all vampires and the belllark is just crotchety. And there they are.

[00:11:45] Oh, they got changed. What the? Well, I feel like they're on the same page as us though. Except they work for Dracula. Yes, that is true. Well, we're all trying to kill the same dude. That hairstyle is the same brides of not wearing a flannel. Well, they're going to try and steal our shit. They're trying to take the same stuff. So we gots to kill them. Fireball! But, uh, so... No spit. The count, explain the countdown.

[00:12:13] Because you proceeded ahead of time, Dracula is not present. He wasn't able to show up. And then, the interaction, the vampires decided, we have to act now. You sped it along. So now, they have to... Because we're rushing them. I know that it's really great. Thank you. And also, you hear on the outside, the sounds of battle.

[00:12:41] And you hear the familiar voices from the village. As you hear the woman, and she goes, Brother! She says, you are not going to best me this time. Father's head will be mine. And he says, no sister, his head will be mine. And so will be that filthy traveler. Spit on everything? Wait, what? The twins are coming after your head. I'm all burned in little bitches. So you hear all this crashing and stuff,

[00:13:11] and you hear shouts from outside the cathedral. What time is it? It's go time. It's go time. No, I mean... It's the countryside. Is it daytime? Daytime or nighttime? He's out with the sun outside. Yeah, the sun is out, yes. Alright, let's break the roof. There's no windows, right? They're all stained glass. They're all stained glass. We gotta bust them. Yep. But, yes. If I'm gonna renew somebody the wrong way. Now, so...

[00:13:38] Because of you guys, and what you have done, and your success that we've posted, PCs get the first turn. We got first turn. New PCs. He's... Now, the Templar commander is still sitting right there, and he is in shock. He has no idea what is going on. None of this was coming whatsoever, and he's frozen. Yeah, push him down. So he's gonna be the leader of the church. Push him down and put him underneath the bench.

[00:14:08] Who am I spitting on? All of them. I can't spit on Michael people. They're all vampires. I spit on one of them. Who's the... Who's the... There's like nine vampires in the room. Which is the most powerful person that might need their vulnerability brought down, or whatever it is. Uh, different. So you have two head vampires, and you've got regular vampires. Okay, these two guys right here, these sassy motherfuckers, they're the most powerful. Is that who you're gonna be attacking first?

[00:14:37] Because we need to spit on... I am gonna shoot a fireball here. Where's the... How big is your fireball? It's pretty damn big. Oh, that's cute. How big? Not big enough to hit us, but big enough to hit most of them. But what's the way? Who knows he's gonna measure it out? There's someone who can bless your spit. Holy spit! Holy spit! If Tony puts a fireball here, will it hit all of them?

[00:15:06] I'm looking it up, Bane. I'm just asking not to know. Who is the word? Very close. Very close. Very close. So I can shoot very far... No, no, but the fireball would like to hit. No, it goes out too far, but it shoots... It hits everything within very close. So basically... It would only hit... Here, I can put it on here. It would only hit these four. Yeah, but I need to hit those two in there. Put that down real quick, and I can make the overlay. It would not hit both of these, because it's very close. So it would not... It would only hit one. It would hit both of them. No.

[00:15:36] Because it goes from here. It goes from where it is. Oh, it goes from there? Yeah. So yeah. Measure that for me. How big is that circle? The middle of it? The middle to one of the sides. It's not... It's too small. Like in the middle of close? It's too big. If you're doing very close, it's too big. It's too big and all center. Make it smaller and move it to the center. This is the center of those.

[00:16:05] The other direction. The other left. He's... Just move it towards Dan. There. Right there. A little more. Now you need to make it slightly smaller. Technically... That's right there. That's it. It's not going to hit this guy. Yeah, it's not going to hit. It can if I move it over. So if that's that, let me lock it. Hold on. Move it a little more towards Dan. Cause I feel like I can hit... It's not going to hit both of them. It can hit both of them. No, it wouldn't hit both.

[00:16:35] I don't think it would hit both of them. It could be completely... He's not going to let it. He's trying to hit vampire one. Both had vampires. There's no way it would hit both vampires. That would hit them both. Right there. Would that hit them both? You're right on the outside. Let me... That... Now it's only going to hit one. Okay. I'll pick one. You're right there on the edge of it. Then that's the one we need to spit. You hit one and then we can take the other one. This one right here... I'm going to lower the difficulty. If you did this right here, this would hit five people.

[00:17:05] I'll do that and then you two spit on pride. Also this one. And I'll hit... Nope. I don't care about these guys. The hell did I... I'm going to try to take down the deuce. Why would we spit and lower the difficulty on the one you're not going to hit? Then hit deuce. That's what I'm saying. We need to hit the one you're going to hit. That's fine. Okay. Then... I'm going to try to handle these three down here. Mike? You want to handle eight, six, and seven? Yeah. So you take care of eight, six, seven. Ulrich? Mm-hmm.

[00:17:35] Vampire one. Do you think you can take them down with your amazing pecs? Where am I at? Sure. Before... No. I don't want to move to them yet. Oh shit. Because I'm planning to do the blood boil. Okay. So you want to eventually move to them, right? You can't fight from a distance. I'm planning to do the blood boil before I move in. Right? Uh, Ronnie? Mm-hmm. You can't fight from a distance, right? Uh... You're a melee dude? Uh... A melee. I also have dark fire where she's... So he's going to move here in a minute.

[00:18:05] Um, I... It's basically the same as... The fireball? The fireball. I think that people do that. But with the safety. Like basically, I can do the dark fire... You can make sure you're not... So I'll do fireball first and then you do dark fire next. But we are going to spit first. Yes. The dark fire is very similar to fireball, but if any allies are in the area, it won't. It only targets... But let's focus on the guy that we're spitting on. Yeah. Okay. Because his difficulty is low. So you gave me the three hopes, so... We're... Yes sir.

[00:18:35] I'm going to spit on vampire deuce. Before we do that, I'm going to drop my cylinder. Yes. For something. I will have to step outside... Well, depending on how... I have to get closer because it's a little closer. I don't have any information on what that does, but it's like... It's about vampires... ...and I think it's probably close range. Greg! Nah! What are you doing? Um... Wait, why? We only have one action. You can't all do something at once. No, I'm just letting it know what we need to do. You need to do something. Jesus. What?

[00:19:05] We're a team! You're supposed to do something! I'm just coming here. I don't know how far it goes out. He's just creating a circle. That's all he's doing. Alright. What is this? This is me. It's a... Close radius. Wait, this is a church, right? Close radius. Close radius. So it's out here. I can't break these windows. He just tried to get a circle of us. These are the saints. These are the saints of my goddess. He chased you. No, these weren't the saints of your goddess. No, no, no.

[00:19:33] And they suddenly revealed themselves to actually be... I'm gonna move it. No, I'm into this. I'm just trying to get the size of it first, and then I can move it where I need to. It's a little bit bigger. A little bit bigger. A little bit bigger. That's good. And actually, if that's the case... Well, he can't do spot casting. Yeah, it's only spot casting. So yeah, put it at me. Or like, back up a little bit. And...forward. Basically centered on the captain.

[00:20:06] Yes. And that way anyone who casts within that circle gets a plus one on their spot casting. It's locked. Your stuff goes out too far. Yeah, I can hit... I can hit it to one or two. I'm gonna spit on somebody, but I got one hour to do some shit. It goes very far. Alright, so seriously, you guys are doing team up. So yeah, you both are on the roll. Don't we also get a plus...yeah, we get plus one to this. If it's a spell cast for, we get a plus one to this. Or not...what do we do? Just add one?

[00:20:35] Can I add one for my experience? Is this me or... You get to add whatever your experience rating is. If it's two or three or whatever numbers. But not unless she paid for it. You have to pay and hope for it, yes. Did you pay a hope for it? No. No. She just paid a three hope to start the team up. I'm going to pay a hope for an experience. Okay. I'm going to pay a hope for an experience. I'm going to pay a hope for an experience. I'm going to pay a hope for an experience. That's pretty.

[00:21:04] What's my breathing face today? 20. With 15 hope. Does 15 succeed? And you guys are attacking... I'm attacking the... That vampire head guy. That vampire head guy. The part number two is my head. The douche. Any deuce? Would 20 make it? Let's find out. 20 with... 15. Would 15 make it? I doubt that. We're going to ask.

[00:21:34] Would 15 make it? Does someone want to add points to our hope role? Is that possible? Well, first of all, I do that just to let you know about this environment. There's one real key feature about this environment. It's the fact that I can hold up to 15 fear. That's a lot. That's a lot of fear. So, that's just to put that out there. Okay. Only while in this environment. Only while in this environment. Only in the church. Only in the church.

[00:22:03] Now, as far as the answer goes, 15 would what? Fear? Would 15. Would 15 hit. The number? If 15 hit, it would fail. Okay. What did... Wait. Well, wait. We've got... Would... You'd like to re-roll either your hope or your fear back? If we fail... My... My... My hope was five. What's your fear? I would like you to re-roll... My fear was three.

[00:22:31] I would like you to re-roll your hope back. Okay. So that it's higher. Oh no. We didn't have an extension. Excuse me. No, that made it... 15 and 16. 21. With hope? With hope? With hope? Yes! If we roll hope... If we roll hope Ryan, we get a hope. If we roll fear, it's his turn. And that shit happens. Yeah. We don't like fear.

[00:23:01] So, going with 21 with hope, right? Yes. Either 20 with fear or 21 with hope. Does that succeed? Yes. No. He's getting himself a fear. No, I was getting you your hope. Oh, maybe. You roll with hope. Are you black hope? So it does succeed. She is. Okay. It succeeds with hope. I'm gonna click my soul. I was headed to vampire number two. Okay, let's spin on him. Okay, whatever. So... What is this? We won with hope. So let's spin on him.

[00:23:32] So we get d6... Plus four. No. Four d6s. Plus four. Oh yeah. Because we get proficient here. Because I do not want to lose. And they should start off with fear. Yeah. I just don't want to lose initiative right now. It's only crit for the action, right? No. Crit doesn't count on that. If she crits for damage, does that count? Oh.

[00:24:03] It's only an actual folder. It's only a 23. 23. 23. Plus... Mm-hmm. Are you adding stress to keep it around? Yes. Last week I got... Is it four or five? It is on the carpet, yeah. Yeah.

[00:24:34] 22. What'd you add? 23. 23 plus 22. 24. 25. Got it. And we're both going to add some stress to... How many stress are you going to add? Um... Every two is one. You want to spend two each and bring it down by two? Yeah. Negative two penalty? Okay, so we're going to each spend two stress and it's going to be down... A total of two. Two difficulty.

[00:25:05] Two? So minus two. Yes. Total? Yes sir. Plus the 45 damage. Oh, the vampire deuce. Got it. And that makes them permanently corroded. Yes. We've made that, yeah. We've been there a bunch. So... You spit... Oh, we didn't even add our snow casting plus one. I usually tell them to put the... Oh shit. Oh yeah.

[00:25:31] On the head vampire, number two, as a spit hits him and begins to corrode his flesh or whatnot... He's like, what is this? Homey water? Say thank you. Yes sir, spotlight. So, this is what we need to think about. They're both melee, so teaming up with me on fireball wouldn't make sense for them. I can team up with you by spending that to get three more hope, or four more hope.

[00:26:02] Mr. GM, I would like to spend four prayer dice for four more hope. Oh right. And tag team for burninating the countryside. Yes! Burninating! Finally! I'll give you that back. Burn that side of the car on the back side. I'll also... Give you that. Can we use that in the... We're gonna have to edit that out.

[00:26:31] Don't worry about it. Trademarked. I'm just gonna use a pencil from the house and I know. Yours is also very close. Huh? Your damage hits very close. Yeah, and it's...

[00:27:00] Somewhere over that red circle would be my damage range. That's where I'm gonna be aiming at. So I am also aiming at the same spot, just for easy math. One is your man. Four. With burning blood. Okay, so you got the same radius? Yes. Okay. So we're doing fireball and burning blood. Fireball and burning blood. It's gonna literally burn. Wait, are we crossing the streams? Don't cross the streams. I thought you were not supposed to do that. We're crossing the streams. Don't do that! We're allowed to.

[00:27:29] My burning blood is gonna actual burn. Really? Alright. We'll see what happens. So I don't think you were supposed to do that. So you both need to roll. So I also spent an experience. But first, before we do it, we need to spend what we... Yeah. He said it's been an experience. He did for him. I spent four total hope for the tag team and an experience. Yeah. But just in case you roll poorly, I should roll with some experience as well. It's possible.

[00:27:58] Unless you want to use your warlocks. You should always use experience, right? If you can. That's a big plus to your warlock. The Revenant's gonna show up at some point. Three to four. That's a huge. He's not showing up for us though. That's her. Yeah, but if he hits any of us... Well, if he hits her, yeah. Anyway. Don't y'all lose something? Turn the page. Yep, yeah. We lose hope. Oh, you know that. Fuck you. Let's use that.

[00:28:28] Help while we can then. So... And, hold on. If I mark an adversary within close range... Sigil of Rick... Oh, he's not in close range though. They're not in close range though. I don't know who that is. And that is Aquaman. Yeah, I'll just have to save that for later. That's exactly what I was gonna say. You can tell by the little king. On a success. Yep. That's exactly what I was gonna say. So I'm rolling a spell cast roll of 12.

[00:28:57] That's his favorite character. To target that location. He heard everything. I heard Aquaman, but I have no idea what to talk about. That's him right there. Oh yeah. I love it when he dressed up as four. That's 24 with the order for this. Probably that one. And yours was a 12 difficulty. What was yours? Was it a safety of a spell cast roll? My difficulty? Yes. The fireball. Yeah, it was fireball.

[00:29:26] I'll say. Okay, yeah. So... 24 with hope. So we'll both take hope. Mm-hmm. And then we can start rolling damages. Which... But first, before you do that... I don't actually... I have to make a roll, I think, right? For what? Is that the second part of your ability? Well, I have to make a roll. Well, I have to make a roll. Oh. This one doesn't... Yeah, you get a reaction roll against me. Right, that determines whether they take half or take four. Correct. This one doesn't have a roll. Yours does not.

[00:29:56] Only his does. Okay, cool. So, I mean, I have to make one roll anyway. So everybody in that area is going to lose two hit points? Yes. One moment. Because you succeeded... ...thurt... ...thurt...

[00:30:45] ...thurt... I have to hit... I have to hit... Is it 13? Or... You have to make a reaction roll of 13. You could fight something. 13, okay. But I'm already breaking glass. You could break faces. You could break the glass with your voice. So... Only... One of them is the hit vampire. He's the only one that actually succeeded. The other vampires failed. So... And that's with the lower... Oh. Because... It's... Yeah. It's not...

[00:31:14] So he gets half damage on my fireball. So whatever you roll, go ahead and roll the damage and we'll apply it. So that's... Four and twenties plus five... That's pretty good. Okay, now pieces of your armor... Need an extra detour function independently of... Of each other. I don't know. We've never tried that. Because it's pretty clear because it's the on-rads. So go ahead and mark two anyways, right? So... Then mark two...

[00:31:44] You could do just like a big... Break all the glass... And then come back together maybe. Oh... Could I do that? I could throw my gauntlet. But then I would have to walk over there to pick it back up. It's not... I can't fly. So in pieces... Then you can't fly it around. You should learn. That's why you're supposed to roll them off. So what I could do is... Are they not always flying around though? If there's no... Okay, he's using the logic.

[00:32:11] He's using really sound logic. Yeah? So he's right. My... Pieces of my armor are moving through... Space... Magically... On their own. So couldn't they do that... Independent of each other... Like if I took the gauntlet off... But that still was 51. 51. Couldn't the gauntlet just... That's probably two. Walk over there and break glass? So he'll still take 26. Can you write a thing? Whatever you... In theory...

[00:32:40] I guess I would have to roll for it. Damage-wise. It automatically marks two hit points. I don't know. So two hit points... I guess... So it happens if you fell... All of them take two hit points... Then it just falls to the ground. The four lesser vampires get 51 damage. And then like walks like this. The head vampire takes... Half of that. 26. Yeah. Yeah. Got it. And it takes a really long time for it to get over to this. And then they lowered whatever his difficulty was I think. Or something. Yeah, we just like...

[00:33:09] Oh yeah, because they had already hit a head vampire. Yeah, they already hit him. So his difficulty is lowered. You gave him an automatic two hit points... But they also already hit him for 40 some up damage. 45? Which... We hit him for 45 and then lowered his difficulty by two. Probably one... I just hit four of them to 51. And then him, he gets 26 because he succeeded with the reaction roll. So I'm betting we've done five HP to him. It is, I agree.

[00:33:42] So this I'm going to hide. Just for your health. Because the fireball's done. Oh. We actually had one point higher because we're in the prison. There you go! Oh! We got one vampire left and then these three other guys.

[00:34:06] So, yes, your combination of the fireball plus you throwing the piece of blue... Yes. The combination of the two basically just incinerated him. Like on a dot by the way. Like if it wasn't for that extra one, they would still be up. Nice. Ronnie, you and John should tag team this other guy. Spinning no fear. Um... Until he takes the turn. Wait, wait until he takes his turn. To take the spotlight. No, y'all should both attack that guy. I feel like you've done enough.

[00:34:36] You just take out five guys. In two rolls. I mean, that's a... Hey, hey, hey! I wanted a hamburger! The universe did it. I'll go with the bag of fries. Five guys, bag of fries, whatever. Wait, we teleported to five guys? Hey, Greg. How much hope you have? He has plenty. I have like five hope. Okay. And y'all can compliment each other. Don't forget that. Once Scott's done with his turn, y'all should tag team the other head vampires. If we get a chance to.

[00:35:07] I think we'll get a chance too. Yeah, he's back. I feel pretty confident. Yes, he's back. Yeah, but he's just gonna attack her. It's fine. Guess who's here? We just have to... You're a new next friend! That's up! Guess who's here? Well, I mean, he's got a living room. She's gonna need it. What are you guys doing? Uh, we don't have spotlight right now. Yeah, he took spotlight. Discreetly. Mm-hmm. All right. Well, let's go ahead and do it on my turn.

[00:35:40] Yes, the revenant appears as you see him as a sim... Casually just walk through the walls of the cathedral. Ghost Rider? And he looks directly at Sybil. And he says, you have been judged. It's because all the penis passing. Or armor polishing. Or armor polishing. Just slap him in the face. Or armor polishing. You are guilty.

[00:36:09] As you look at him as he appears, he just casually starts walking towards her, and it's almost as if he's skipping steps, because he's just... Vroom! Vroom! Yeah. I hate him hearing. Just a clear frooms. And he just kind of phases right through Greg. Oh! How'd that feel? It felt weird. I feel violent. Like a cold, burning sensation. What did he do? All right, we're gonna use Relentless. Somebody waiting in me! Somebody's inside me!

[00:36:39] I mean, you've been wanting that this whole game. That is true. But they didn't stay inside me. He just left. He came and got teased. Okay, so the total on that... That's what happens when I beat people too. Oh, that's one plus three. Okay, so Sybil, does an 11 hit? They just default.

[00:37:10] It meets. It meets. Okay, so it does hit. Next. All right, and then, uh... 18. So, those two strikes against the Revnaught will hit. Everybody loses a hope! Yes, everybody goes ahead and loses a hope. I would like to spin the hope to not lose the hope. Yes, give him one line just so we can spin the hope.

[00:37:43] I assume that was the Revnaught again. Yes. Yeah, he's back. Oh, do you already have one? Yes, sir. Okay, so... In that case. All right, so... And then I gain a fear. And the damage on that... Oh, and I'm not supposed to give you hope too?

[00:38:14] Yes, everybody loses a hope. Oh, wait. Uh, she got hit. Only one. The person that got hit didn't... That's just her. Oh, I see. What? I thought I didn't lose hope whenever I got hit. Was it just because I was out? Because you didn't have any hope to... You didn't have any hope to lose? I was already hopeless. Yeah, you were already hopeless to begin with. That's also odd. Okay, so the first one... The first attack is only 13 damage, which it bypasses armor.

[00:38:44] Yep. And then the second attack is only 13 damage. So, two separate instances of 13 damage. I'm gonna go ahead and spin a fear for the head vampire. The only one that's left. Cause he killed the other head vampire.

[00:39:15] Oh, I'm sorry. I'm gonna spin two fear to activate his... Oh no. Yeah, spin one for him to spotlight and spin two to activate his ability.

[00:39:22] I'm unstoppable. I'm very upset. I figured it'd be a good time. Yeah.

[00:39:53] Alright, so... I always said 35 times a week. Do it today. 35 times a week. We know it's weird.

[00:40:28] Did you read this? Go get him, tiger. Go get him. It was pretty funny. That was great. How did you know my wife was on attack? I did that. I had to go back then and see. Alright, so... The head vampire... You hear him as he hisses... He hisses a lot. And then two vampire reinforcements arrive. No, no, no.

[00:40:58] From behind you. And they both immediately take the spotlight and they move in to attack trauma. Who the... They're attacking you. Who the attacking is who? These guys. Who the attacking is who? Oh. These bitches... Waited for Mike to leave. And they trying to get up on my snatch.

[00:41:23] Hey, how about somebody made of armor gets to fudge over here and plays like shield for me? Hey Greg, you wanna tag team with them? I have... The answer is yes. I mean, I thought... I mean, we were gonna attack team and hit the dude. Yeah, we were gonna hit him. These are... So, these are two other vampires that just showed up. Yup, and a strike at Traveler. Let's see what they actually do. They may be weenies. Uh...

[00:41:51] Not with an eight and a five. They're weenies! So... Bless their horse. Can I pat him on the head? They tried real hard. They tried... They would've hit Mike really hard. He blasted real hard. Can I pat him on the head? Right. I'll help you attack them. They moved... They stormed through. They come in to strike as they miss with their claws. And... What's he? That goes back to... Alright, then... If it goes back to us, then yes.

[00:42:18] I want these two to fight this guy. Up to them. The Ulrich-Gregg combo. Yes! Kill this head vampire! We're not taking out windows anymore. No. Should they attack the Revenant or is he just pointing to the Revenant? Can we clasp hands when we do it? Pointless to attack. And then like... We're like... Use each other's momentum. But he's gonna hurt her. He's too far by the way. Don't worry about getting hit. We need to get somebody else to get him. He's too far. We need to worry about throwing somebody else. He's too far. Well, he's within far range. You can't move up to close range and take him.

[00:42:48] We need you to do that. You can't move as far range. Can I throw Ulrich with my action? But you got the vampire. He attacks. And then... That makes sense. And then the Revenant. That makes sense. Well, they should do. It's not a very good. The bishop just tells him. What you guys can do is you can essentially... Because he's not a person? Like... Because he's not a person? One at a time you can make a roll to move through the vampires. Yes. Mm-hmm. Using agility. Mm-hmm.

[00:43:14] And then if you both get within close range then you can move with any new attack. So what would it be what you have to do? Is there a fire to set the roles? Is there a scene? Okay. Sure. Oh. I'll risk it. Can I get on his back? And... I mean you could teamwork it but that would be spending three hope to do that. I'm not sure if you want to do that. I don't. We're not doing teamwork for this. We're not doing it. No, we're doing teamwork to attack them when we get in close range.

[00:43:43] But only one of us needs to do teamwork. We can double teamwork. Yeah, but if we do teamwork to get over there, we're not going to get the bonuses for attacking them and stuff like that. But if I do teamwork now, you could do teamwork later. I... I don't have to go over there. Oh, then no we can't. I can't try to do it. Yeah. I'm just trying to get over there. I can't play a role. This is... Agility. You probably still have to do it.

[00:44:13] Yes. Spockman. Yes. But... The 40 worlds. No. 12. Yes. 12. Yeah. Wait, hold on. Yes. Don't talk back. That is a... Was it fear or hope? Hmm? Uh... Did y'all attack? What would it be? Uh, that'd be with fear. It's just too far out. He has to move closer.

[00:44:43] He has to move closer, yeah. Because it's the head vampire within the far back. If I had already been out there breaking glass like I wanted, then I would be close enough. That's true. What was it with hope or fear? Fear? Anybody can change that? It's a failure with fear. Oh, hold on. Just to move across the room? I can't change my own. I can't change my own. I can change my own. I can change my own. I don't have any of that. I like the other one with that ability. I have the ability, but I currently don't have the hope. Wait. Unless you're willing to allow me to do the extra. I have the ability. This role is just to move across the room?

[00:45:12] I thought you... Yeah. I can... He's moving across the battlefield. There's three vampires right there in between him and the head vampire. He's trying to move. All I can do is change it to either one I can do. It's still fear. I can do success, but it's still fear. Which, yeah. He has the support tank ability. I have the support tank ability. Which is? Which is the same one I use. So I can hear you. I can spin one of these and I'll still have him not to do the same. And then he can reroll it. It's two hope. Wait, it says one hope.

[00:45:42] No, it says two hope. Hey, you are looking really good today on the battlefield. Do you get a hope if you compliment me? I get three. Thank you. I like looking good. I need three hope. So I'll spin two and then I'll get three. Okay, so yeah, that... Yes. And then you get three, which will put you at five. And you get three as five. Yes. And that has him rerolled the whole thing? Uh, yes. So you can send two hope to allow it to reroll it in there. Hope or fear not. Okay, choose one. Hope or fear?

[00:46:12] Do I choose or do they choose? You choose. I will reroll my hope since it was... Do I get three though, too? Yes. Okay. It rolled one lower. Oh. But it rolled. But it rolled. Was that hope or fear that you rolled? The hope. Oh no. That's good though, right? Oh no, you rolled it with the hope.

[00:46:38] I'm assuming you won't let me exchange paradise to do that. I'm confused. I'm not happy to give him a chance to reroll because he's failing with fear. Right, which still failed with fear. Yep. Okay. Because as you move in to close range, or attempt to, you can get stopped by the vampire number eight. Oh, number eight. He's changed in front of him and goes, no. Yeah, he basically moves in and he strikes.

[00:47:06] I have more Daka. He reveals that he's actually a machine gun vampire. That was not actually. I would watch that movie. Does a ten hit you, Ulrich? Does a ten hit you? Does a ten hit you? Uh. I believe so. Your invasion?

[00:47:36] Nine. Oh, damn. It's better than mine. Why are you all so squishy? What does ten damage do to you? No, we're not squishing us. We just don't move. Well then that's what happens. Alright. Nothing. Because as you move in, he pulls your way, he strikes people. What? The crazy part? Natural armor. The ability to take as much damage, actually more damage than you. Okay, but I don't. But I'm harder than you. Yeah. You're better than me in every way.

[00:48:06] Stop. That thing's attacking right. The... Ulrich tried to move into the head vampire but got blocked by vampire number eight. He basically stepped into the way and struck against Ulrich and stopped him. Um, which didn't do much because it didn't get through. Yeah. Stuck on his face. But then the head vampire number one. I spent a fear to have him move. Oh, he's moving closer. Yeah. Alright. Um, Greg, now you don't have to roll to attack him. Ooh, Greg.

[00:48:35] He's right in front of you. Do you want a toothpick? What? Shit. What the fuck? You girls in your body. I didn't do it. I didn't do it. I didn't do it. I didn't do it. I didn't do it. I didn't do it. That's me. Now you both are within. Greg. We're gonna teamwork it. Oh, but it was his thing. Yeah, so now you're like really close to him. Are you guys gonna teamwork it? Yeah. You have to give him three of your... I don't want to do anything I don't really want to. Right. If you want a teamwork, you have to do three of your things. But I want to do this. Right. And give him one more if you want to use an experience to roll. An experience?

[00:49:06] Yeah. Your experiences on your sheet that add to your roll. Oh, I get extra rolls if I do that. Oh, that's insane. You get extra points. If I roll, I get points? That's very good. Alright, that sounds very good. I will give you another one of these for that very reason. And then I can add your experience to your roll. So you guys are team working together, Ulrich and Greg? Okay. Against the head vampire, I presume? Yeah. I was gonna just fight the darkness. Take his head.

[00:49:37] Alright, go ahead and make your rolls. You need this. And then I gotta have your roll something else in a minute. If your hand would have me, I'd just... I could still. Okay, but you have to roll. Oh yeah? I don't know how all this works. If you do what you want, but... Crit! Nevermind. I don't think you have to roll. I don't think you have to roll. I don't need to roll. I don't have to. I do what I want! That means y'all both crited. Yes! Y'all just got full health, full hook, full damage, times two.

[00:50:06] He could still roll and see if this rolls up. We're about to kill this archbishop and there are no vampires. So they get how many hooks from critting? Um, yes you both will get a hook. You see one also? And uh... I was gonna hit some... Yeah, I was stressed to clear. Clear that too. Okay. Oh, well then, okay, I was just stressed. I was marking to use the D20s or...

[00:50:35] Gone down. And before you roll your damage to the crit, do me a favor, both of you, uh, roll an instinct roll real quick. Instinct? Yeah, it was a reaction. As soon as you moved into melee range it activated. Instinct? Instinct. Okay. I don't just sound a dice rolling together. Eight. Eight! Clickity-class math. Alright, I'm rolling, uh... The two reaction rolls. The regular two dice?

[00:51:04] Yeah, just the two dice. Just tell me what the result is. Uh, that, including my... Oh, excuse me. Instinct? Oh, hang on. I have a joke. Oh yeah, dude. It's zero. Uh, twelve is what I got. So you both failed. No. A seven and eight. Uh, I just gained five fear. Sorry about that. That's all that was for. It was for what? Terrifying presence when you move into melee range you both make it instinct roll. Uh-huh. And if you fail, I gain one D4 fear.

[00:51:34] Oh. Terrified of that. Now... You triggered it when you moved in, but now you can resolve the crit, so... So... I don't think he's gonna make it through it, but... Surprise me. Alright, so... I'm afraid of how much he died. Alright, roll damage! So, I just roll... So, we have to add the full... Basically, you roll your dice. Go roll the dice first, and then we'll figure it out. And then you add the total. Okay.

[00:52:03] Oh, dear god. Well, he had any pieces, you did. Well, he had any pieces, you did. Finish your tape. Uh-huh. D10 plus nine. Definitely. Do I add my strength to that too? Or... Just a right thing. D10 plus nine. So, forward your proficiency, so you will serve me. That's insane. I know, it's a lot of damage.

[00:52:31] No, I'm sure. I know. I'm sure. I'm sure. Do it. I'm sure. Here we go. Alright. Damage! It's my douche juice. So, it's... 10... 10...

[00:53:01] 10... 10... 10... 10... 10... 10... 10... 10... 10... 50... Plus 9... 31... Plus 9... 40? 40? That's 40 for his, but then you add the max. Yeah. So, that's another 40, so that's 80. So, 80 over here. 48. Is that what you rolled? Yeah. Did you add your static bonus? Yeah. Alright, so 48? Mm-hmm.

[00:53:31] How many dice did you roll? And what? 40? 40, 20. 40, 20? Yeah. Okay. That was my favorite moment of this whole game so far. So, that's 80 base plus his 80 base is 160 plus 58. I think he's dead guys. 48. 48. I don't think he's... Why are we still doing that? They just launched it. They just launched it. It's over 200 damage. Why are we still doing that?

[00:54:02] There's four health points on him. Maybe one of them should attack. Should have attacked a Revenant. Right. Why didn't we have them do this? Maybe four was massive by the way. They were attacking the head vampire who apparently could not withstand for 160. So, they're still going to try to get the whole thing. It was actually double. What was the total damage? I'm just curious. 84, you needed to do the massive. Yeah. That was double to severe already. Yeah.

[00:54:31] You did over double to double. But I'm curious what was the total of all the damage? It was 208 damage. Oh! Shit! I love you guys. That was a crit. When the warriors worked together. Well, not just when the warriors worked together. When the warriors crit together. Cause like if he had been team working with anyone else, that damage wouldn't have been like that. But the two of them were team working together.

[00:54:58] Alright, so you two together, just describe what you did to this guy. I'm picturing the scene from uh... Oh my god, John, what did you do to this guy to make him take 200 damage? Okay, this is something I want to try out. Oh shit! Oh, that's so funny, doesn't it? Alright.

[00:55:20] I want to have all my pieces, thank you for this Ryan, fly apart and then swirl around, chopping him up and then come back together and he just falls into a mess and then he comes and cuts them into ribbons. And then you take your hammer and use it like a ribbon. What is that rich people game? Oh yeah, and then he just, he like blows all the proofs of life. No, no, no. I'm picturing the armor swirling around him but not actually slicing him to pieces.

[00:55:48] But, when it comes back together you're all dripping and like oozy and you have like bits falling off of you because... There's a little bit of flesh caught in there. Right, yeah, his like brains are falling off. But he's still like standing and he's like... So like I fly into the air and instead of like swinging it down on top of his head and you know all that stuff, I decide to actually show my powers. Do it! And use telekinesis. Oh, it's tough!

[00:56:15] And you start seeing the hammer spinning around really fast. And I just send it down. And it's just kind of a really, really bad situation for the vampire. Like a propeller. Yeah, pretty much. Tell me at least all the windows broke with this move. I want to bring some windows. Probably, yeah. With my telekinesis it's... Between that and the armor flailing, I think we broke some windows, guys. That's what I was trying to do this whole time. I've got a new move. No, you completely obliterated me. The Gornado.

[00:56:46] The Gornado. And his player spotlight still though, right? Because that was a crit. Wait, who's alive? The other is the lower vampires. The head vampires are gone. You incinerated them and then most of them have them. None of that damage access spillover. I just turn around and look at the other vampires with my eyes glowing blue through the helmet. Oh yeah, can we intimidate these fuckers now? Are they within close range? I think they're more afraid of Dracula than you guys to be honest.

[00:57:17] After seeing that, they've got a candlelight. Are they within close range? I'm going to go wait this one out. Oh, well it's my down. It should be. That's what I was picturing. Yep. Okay. I see. Yes. All of them are. Well, I'm going to do... Dark fire then. I'm just going to show you something. Alright. Is it in the shot? Yeah. Sybil is using dark fire. Oh yeah.

[00:57:47] That's the one I was thinking about this. Oh yeah, because it doesn't hit us. Does that have... What's the radius on that? Hold on. Hold on. Are you attacking the revenant? Uh, she's attacking the area. Attacking the area. That will by default attack the revenant. But I can pick who I'm attacking with. Yeah. Um, hold on. I need to understand something. Sure. We have to kill the revenant, right? Like, are we just avoiding killing him because we know he's kind of a dick and he's going to come after him. He's going to come after whoever killed him last.

[00:58:15] But, but he's not just going to disappear, right? Does anybody have the ability to bless him? Yeah, maybe we can bless him. There is actually one guy who can. He's right up here. He's right there. The bishop? I'm going to kill him though. Hold on. What I'm saying is we can't. Maybe if I kill him, I become him and then I can bless him. What I'm saying is we can't just ignore him and he's going to go away. Like, we're going to eventually have to face him. You might as well let your fire hit him too. He's not going to kill him.

[00:58:44] I mean, it only doesn't hit. Make a spell cast roll against all adversaries within close range. You can spend a hope for any app for any that you succeed against and they must make a reaction roll. On a failure they take D8 plus 6 magic damage. That's why I have the D8. So it will hit him. So it only hits. It will hit him, but I have to spend a hope for any that I succeed against. So I can only technically target one because I only have one hope. I can give you as much hope as you need, but what I'm saying to you is it's not going

[00:59:14] to kill him. Like, let's just try to do, because we can't ignore him. We've got to attack him. Don't worry about him. Kill the rest of the vampires first. And then we attack him. Then there's only a Revenant. It's true. You can all just focus on the Revenant. How many people are there? Bye-bye. If everyone joins together. How many back-bye? One, two, three, four, five. Plus the better. I can't give you that many, but I can give you like... She can't reach the belt. She can't reach all of them anymore.

[00:59:40] No, I'm saying there's a total of six people left that are not our team. But they're sort of weenie little dudes. And I'm not counting the character. If you do make contact and damage these guys, you should. We're just going to hide him for now because he's hiding. Because the rest of the team are small. So do you want... We actually told him to go find a team. Well, I need to see if I succeed first. Because if I succeed, then I spend the hope for... I get to... Use the hope. Okay. So... When we do that, does that go with proficiency? Mm-hmm.

[01:00:09] I use the D8 using my proficiency. So I use four D8 plus six magic damage. Cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool. Don't forget you got a bonus to your spell. As they are engulfed in dark fire. Don't forget right now you've got a bonus to your spell cast. What is it? Plus one. Plus one. Oh yeah. Yeah, I forgot that earlier when I got that 20. I always forget it but it's there.

[01:00:39] It's only like a 27. I think when you succeed like it's eventually you're just like screw it. And it's just... Yeah, as long as you know it's a success. You said how much? 21 with what? Fear. Okay. 21 with fear, okay. That's... That 21 hits, yes. Correct. So that's the success with fear.

[01:01:11] Now how much hope you use? Building just one. A thingy where you can turn it from a fear into a hope. Danny and Ronnie. And Ronnie can do it. Hey Ronnie, can you turn her into a hope? Um... It costs two. It costs two. Yeah, what does your mechanic say about making her fear roll a hope roll? Um...

[01:01:39] She has to just be close by. Um... You're not close by, are you? Within very close range. Are you very close? No. I am within close but not very close. No, no, no, no, not very close. Sorry, I messed up. I'm within close. I'm within close but not very close. It's close range. Close range. And what do you do? You just spend a hope to change it? No, it's just...

[01:02:08] I can only do it once for a long rest. Have you already done it? No. What do you do though? What's the mechanic say? It just changes the... So you can change my success with the fear to a success? Yeah, it's a lot of fun. So I'll do that. So I just... So I just... It's just a once per... Well then... I like that. Twenty one with hope. Twenty one with hope. Twenty one with hope. That will give you another hope. Sounds like a Rob Zombie sound.

[01:02:38] And I have two hope. Now I have two. So I can do two targets. Yep. Or you can just do the Revenant and the rest will still get hit, right? No. But I have to... Basically, since I have succeeded with the Darkfire, now I choose who all I want to hit. You were a tech. That's how... That's why it's different. That's how it hit the area. It hits the area who I can choose everyone in the area though. It's like an AOE, but I get to choose who I hit.

[01:03:05] She's like my Fireball, but she gets to selectively choose who the Darkfire. Correct. She has to spend money to pick. Alright, do it. Do it. Or just spend one and hit the Revenant in front of the rest of it. They're all leans anyway. He's gonna hit you and make you lose the hope anyway. What are we gonna save it for? But as long as you have multiple... You need to take a bet. You play. Okay. Yeah. You might as well hit a splash damage person. Probably the person closest to the Revenant. Probably, I guess these two. Yeah.

[01:03:34] The yellow is the... The yellow is the what? The radius. That's the radius. Okay. Well, I can't hit that person, so... Do you want to hit the Revenant? You can. Revenant and number two. Well, these three then. Oh. And number one. I gave her a hope with my power. I got it. Herbal remedies power. No, that's not it. Where is that? Oh, here. Hearthburn. That's a hard poured power.

[01:04:03] Because we're close-knit. Oh, yeah. We're like this. We're tight. Your back running thing. Yeah. 19, 20, 21, 22, 22, 22. 24 magic damage. To all three. Alright, so two of the vampires burned. Nice. Okay, you should go ahead and... And you're 23. I don't think it takes an action. Put up your armor. The Revenant is barely escaped. Do you still have your armor? Mm-hmm.

[01:04:33] Put it up. I don't think it's still a hope. It doesn't take an action for her to conjure her armor. So can she just go ahead and do that since she knows the Revenant's... You have to spend a hope. Since she knows the Revenant's gonna attack her. You have to spend a hope. So... That's just after damage. You can spend hope. Oh, to keep it up. Yeah, so you can conjure it and then if you want to keep it after you get hit, you can spend another hope. But right now... This doesn't say it to make a roll for it, right? No. It just says mark a stress to conjure it. That's the post. So just mark a stress. Yeah.

[01:05:02] Conjure that and that way if the Revenant hits you at least you have a little bit of armor. Can I... It reduces the severity by one Thresher. Yeah, three vampires left and one Revenant. Which you forgot last time. So we want them when you got hit the next time. Yeah? No, I'm planning to hit the Revenant with my weapon. Oh, okay.

[01:05:28] I'm going to use Crimson Right by marking an HP. But I'm also going to go ahead and exchange three to try to tag team with somebody, whoever feels like helping me hit the Revenant. Doing what? Can I? I'm planning to tag team to try and hit the Revenant. I've tag teamed with her. Can I...

[01:05:57] I can... Oh, I've already initiated a tag team. You initiate with Traveler? Yeah. So I can't do... So if you initiate, you can't initiate again. But you can participate. But you can participate. But you can participate. Correct. Okay. But I can't give you the hope that I can take it myself. Or she can push four. So I can't give you the hope that I can do. Never mind. So... Because I initiated with Jessica earlier. Wait, I'm sorry. What are you trying to do?

[01:06:24] He was going to tag team, but he initiated with Traveler earlier. What are you going to tag team? I can't initiate a tag team. Right. What do you want to do? I was wanting to hit the Revenant with my weapon. He can do that. Which will also allow me to hit another one of the characters. He can do that with you and do both beacons. Oh, you're already tag team. You... I've initiated with you. But you haven't initiated. You don't have... You have three. So you can do it. So he could initiate the tag team with me, right? You guys both beacons. And he could... Well, do you have to...

[01:06:53] I don't think you have to actually target the same target though. With tag team. I think he's going to want to hit the Revenant. Because he could fireball at the same time that you attacked. Yeah, you don't have to hit the same person. No, then we all get hit. No, not if I hit the Bishop. Not if you what? No! No, we're leaving. We're going to hit the Bishop? We're leaving in 20 minutes. We're not about to attack the Bishop after we're... Like she's literally standing in front of the Revenant. I'm okay with the... Help him show the Revenant. I thought he hits the Bishop.

[01:07:22] The Bell work? I'm sick. The Bell work. Don't begin the Revenant. Stop trying to go after the Bishop. Wow. But I mean if I just shot him across the roof, boom, he's dead. He's not going to die from one fucking fireball. He's the Bishop. You know what those vampires did though? You know what those vampires did though? I killed a whole section of the... But I shouldn't be able to hit at least one of the vampires. They were all a mean ass vampires. This is literally a guy who's going to kill him to the toe of Dracula.

[01:07:51] You think you're going to kill him with one fucking fireball? Yeah, remember that... Yeah, you do not have to target the same target. Kill him with one fireball. I'm pretty sure the guy is going to go toe-to-toe to Dracula. This has to be actions. That require rolls. And all the connections are not helping Daniel. I can actually hit the same range as you can. If we just want to finish that while vampires are still alive. Y'all are about... What?

[01:08:20] Do you want to talk to us about this for a second? No. Do it the fuck ever. We were going to kill this guy anyway. Right? And then he'll get distracted like squirrels. No, we didn't. We had to kill all these other things in the way. Okay. Okay. So, are we going to... It's your tag team. No, it's my rest of my night is what it is. No, it's not. Yes, it is. No, it's not. Alright, let's just...

[01:08:47] If the two of us kill the Revenant at the same time... No. No. No, that's not how it's going to work though. Yeah. I mean if they're taxiing... The Revenant is pretty beefy and he's barely been injured. What if we pick up the Revenant and throw him at the Velarc and it kills him as he... Does he just... Well, if he had Travian here... Didn't Travian do like a hundred and something damage last week and he still didn't do it? He actually had him kill Scarn last.

[01:09:17] Yes, the Revenant killed Scarn. The Revenant is the one who killed a werewolf leader. Fuck this Travian. He's finding the twins. He's keeping them at bay. Fine, attack the bishop. I'm just saying we're leaving in 20 minutes. I don't want to leave in 20 minutes. I'm just saying the Revenant does nothing to me. For all the things in the world that we can actually do in this game, the Revenant means nothing. But okay, let's say we kill everybody and then what? We just try to leave and the Revenant's like... I know and then we take his stone and then the Revenant goes suck my dick. Do we do following you guys out the door?

[01:09:47] Like he's not going to go away. Here's the answer to the Gimler. Aren't we supposed to be doing the... Aren't we supposed to be doing the bishop to get his stone or something? Yeah, we want his stones. That's what they wanted to do. Hang on. Who's got a coin? Divine Cadence. He's got a double-sided... Just do what the fuck you want to do. There you go. Oh, that was pretty awesome. Oh my god!

[01:10:14] Oh, thank you all over the place! Was it heads? No, I didn't. I thought you did. I was... Were you? I thought you did. I did not. I don't want to do. The alcohol is killing anyone. It's okay. Well, yeah. It's sanitized. Sanitized it, right? Yeah. It's sanitized.

[01:10:48] That's it. It just got on my hand. It just poured tequila all over the floor. I'm still saying it's the floor. It didn't get on the floor, though. It's fine. Dude, okay. Yes, it did. It's fine. But it's dripping through your fingers. His fingers are not like... I cleaned it up right there. Alright, so... Cap means that we do... The bishop. Okay. That's really cute. If my turn means that we just attack the rabbit. Okay.

[01:11:19] Does that sound fair? Yes. Let's just chance it. That's gonna change what attack I do with the... What are you doing now? They're either gonna have... CAP! Captain America! What does that mean? That means we shoot the bishop. Okay. Let's attack the big bad guy. I've done my plus two in my experience. So what are you doing? I'm attacking the bellard.

[01:11:47] We are moving to within far range. I can be very far. I am moving to within far range, which should be just in front of Vampire 6. Yes, because there was a token in the way. Well you can only go close and do something. No. I can move to here. And hit the bellard. Right, okay. Well, yes. That says asking clarification on him. Yeah. And you are... And he can shoot to very far. I can shoot to very far.

[01:12:12] I don't have to move at all. So I am making a point well. And I'm gonna spin my faith. I'm gonna count down my faith and use that.

[01:12:43] Basically, just focusing with time so that it's easier for me to make a shot. I don't think. I don't think. Makes sense. Slow down time. Focus. We're all good. Take this one down and make another drink so sorry. First of all, that's nine. So you betcha. Wizard thing.

[01:13:11] That's where I get a gain of hope for rolling a nine. And then 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 with hope.

[01:13:39] That's much better than 15 with fear. So 20 what? 24 with hope. And you're going against your spell cast roles. Yours was 13 and 12. Yeah. So 24 with hope. So shooting a fireball at the bishop. What are you shooting? That's here. I'm shooting my blood boy. My blood? Blood. His burning blood in my fire. Do I want with hope or fear? Hope. Good. And I got a hope because I rolled an eye. Well, hurry up. Oh yeah.

[01:14:08] So two automatic HP plus whatever he was. Well, I rolled a 10 so you made your roll damage. I failed. Alright. That was so creepy. God. God. God. I went to send you something yesterday. Uh. What? Oh wait, no. I didn't do the crimson right because we're doing this. Charlie.

[01:14:37] Charlie said meat the other day. And I'm like, oh my God. He's been around too much. Did he mean it in an ironic way? I don't know. He was watching some beast something on TV. Watches on YouTube TV. Beast games. He was watching. Wait. Like Mr. Beast? Mr. Beast. He was watching Mr. Beast. And they did something. Charlie goes, neat. And he literally said it like that. He goes, neat. And I'm like, oh my God.

[01:15:07] And two HP. It's like, damn. 43 and two HP. All right. They're right. And I'm gonna spin a fear. Um. Also. That was a successful attack. Yeah. It was a successful attack. Or. And then I'm gonna spin three feet. I. Everything I say will start with the same letter. I succeeded with an attack against an average. I think we're about to find out that the bell arc is. So I am going to.

[01:15:37] Uh. Clear three stress or a hit point. And on Success with Hope you also clear three stress or a hit point. Or a hit point on an ally within close range of you. Oh, the real bell arc's missing. So anybody have a stress or a hit point within close range of. I can clear three stress or a hit point within close range of me. Am I within close range? I think everybody's within close range. I am not hurt. Because we're all inside the. Oh. I have both. My bad. Yep.

[01:16:06] You're all within close range everybody is. So I can do it for one person who wants it most. I'm not hurt. Are you hurt? Or stressed. Are you stressed or hurt? Or hurt. Or hurt. Or hurt. Or an HP. Or an HP. He can heal three. I'm like mildly stressed. Cause. He can heal three stress. Traveler and Mike just teamed up and like killed like six people and then y'all teamed up and killed like a bunch of people. I just have a feeling.

[01:16:35] I just know y'all have been marking your stress. I'm just going to get two stress. Okay. So somebody mark that they're clearing either an HP or through stress. Did you do that? No. He can only do it for one person. How many do you have? Okay. Then mark it. What the fuck? Why are we still checking in? Why are we still talking about this? Mark the damn grass and let's do it. Like I gotta leave in ten minutes. Let's go. Where are we doing now?

[01:17:04] I want to see if somebody else wanted it first. Nobody else wants it. So I spent here to take the spotlight. I didn't want to be selfish. I didn't want to be selfish. To explain. So as the, as your ooze ignites and his fireball goes off, you see the bell are consumed by fire. Uh-huh. And then. But it's like napalm cause it sticks. Right. As ooze. Now as the fire clears, the smoke clears. Uh-huh. Okay.

[01:17:33] You see the bell arc and he's damaged. Right? But you also see the stone glowing. And you see this like crimson field surrounding him. Then you see it glow brighter. And then you see the energy redirected at the three vampires in front of you. As they burst into flame. He rebounded my shit into them vampires? We knew he could do that. What a pussy. We ended up with him. Then. Triple team.

[01:18:01] You see him as he taps his staff. And then he points to the revenant. And as the revenant, you know, rises its blade to strike, Sybil immediately freezes. Uh-huh. Paralyzed, unable to move. He's been controlling this shit head the whole time. That's what we just heard. No, I think he just used a high level cleric ability. Yes. You see him walk closer.

[01:18:34] As he walks over to the bodies of the bishops. And he just kind of turns them over with his foot. And he says, Oh Dracula, was this truly your best? A pitiful attempt. I've seen better work from Beyblade assassins. Beyblade? Sure. Beyblades. And then he cackles, delighted by his own joke. Oh no, I'm really excited. Dude, let's play Crossfire instead. Crossfire. What the fuck does that mean? Crossfire. And then he looks directly at your party.

[01:19:04] Uh-huh. And he says, You have done well, my faithful hunters. Better than I expected. I've known for some time that traitors lurked in my circle, but the entire council? Oh Jesus. Dracula is far more resourceful than I gave him credit for. He taps a bloodstone gem that's atop his staff. Yeah. This little treasure is the key to Frean Wachovia. Yeah. And then Cailin, he kinda rises from the pews looking at him, he goes, Frean? You're reminence? What do you mean?

[01:19:34] The Belaar silences him with a raised hand. The bloodstone is useless alone, a shard of a greater whole. It must be reunited with the amulet Dracula wears around his neck. Together they can end the point upon his land. And you would do that? He says, What do you need out of this? Dracula has held a cure to Wachovia's suffering for centuries and chose not to use it.

[01:20:01] That is why I hired thieves, assassins, anyone desperate or foolish enough to infiltrate Castle Dracula. But wait, didn't you take this thing from him to begin with? That's what you just said. Right, but then like if you had just left it with him, he could have cured the place. But he can't cure it without it. He just said he didn't cure it in the centuries. Oh, when he had it. He actually had it for centuries and hadn't done anything with it. He had both. Yeah. Okay, now I'm tracking.

[01:20:31] Yeah. And then he says, Only one returned alive. Ambrosia's veil. No, he's not alive. Half a success. He only brought me the gemstone, not the amulet. Turns out he was killed. Still, it was enough to keep the count occupied. Enough to let the church grow strong while he hunted shadows. But now, now it's time to strike. So he looks at your party, he looks at the revenant and he says,

[01:21:03] I can free you of that curse. He will no longer stalk you for the rest of your days. I only ask for one small task in return. I don't. Um, you want us to help you have a good night's rest. You're very resourceful and capable. More so than Dracula himself, I presume.

[01:21:33] We're pieces. One of my hope. Travel to Dustwatch. Confront the count in his own fortress. Take the amulet. Then, you will bring the amulet to me at Ashgrave. There, you will combine your pieces and reunite them once again and end the blight once and for all.

[01:22:06] And he says, or, and he just kind of waves his hand and then the revenant releases and his blight begins to come down again. Almost striking Sybil when he stops him again. Oh. You can continue playing with this useless toy. I'm okay with helping the guy who says he will actually clear the blight. That's my actual question.

[01:22:31] If he even looks remotely dickish when we bring the other piece back, we kill him. Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. Whatever ooze part of you is an eyeball, look at me. Well, be real clear about this. I've been a lot out of worlds. Killed a lot of things. Dude's a douche. He can go get the damn thing. Bring it back.

[01:23:01] If he even looks like he got a smile happening under his, like, leather face, I'm going to stick my pistola up his asshole up and pull the click for the fireball. Right there in his guts. Like Taco Bell. You don't have that here, but you'd understand that if you left this world. I'm assuming you're saying this right in front of him. Yeah. Okay. Now look at him like, fair? Rude.

[01:23:34] And then you see him as he maneuver, he uses his pre-hand, when it's not on the staff. And then he kind of moves it as he does. You see what appears to be light itself reaching up from the ground, grabbing the revenant and restraining it to the ground. And then you see the light actually like, put like a mask over him, like a light, you know, holding the revenant in place. He says this will be my insurance policy.

[01:24:03] You betray me in any way, I will release the hound. You betray us in any way, and they'll release me. The hound is the right. I'm the hound for us. I mean... Kay? I can. I could kill him every day for the rest of my life, that's fine. But can you kill me every day for the rest of your life? Well, I mean that would just be one thing, so I'm pretty sure. I can't. I can't.

[01:24:33] And to remind you, the Bailhark is injured, like Euter Attack did injure him. However, it was dampened. Yeah. So it's going to take quite a bit more. I have a feeling it's similar to when Ambrosius Veil's amulet. He's also been able to redirect as well, so... He redirected enough damage to kill the vampires. Traveler, that is unless you have something of an ability you're not telling us about. What's that?

[01:25:03] No, that's me. No. You'll either way. So if you'd like to listen to the party once more, do we have any agreement? Just keep coming back. Oh, yeah, I've got something up to him. I've got something up my sleeve. Okay. It's up to the tactical commander. If they want to kill me, that's fine, but they're fucked. And he's busy talking to our warrior. He's asking you if you have an agreement. Oh, yeah. I told him.

[01:25:32] As long as he doesn't screw... If he screws us over, I'm going to kill him. And he said the same thing. And he said if we screw him over, he's going to set a pesky STD against us. Oh, he's just going to stop controlling it. It's just going to keep popping up every time we try to have fun. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Including back at our camp. Right? Ah. He says, good. Good. Shake on it.

[01:26:02] He, uh, he says, guards! As the guards begin pouring in. But then, not just the guards, but also the children. He's using children as bodies? No, the twins. The twins. These bitches! Yes. So, the Templar guards bring the twins in, and twin front and center. As he looks at both of them, he says, foolish children, this is why I removed you from the church.

[01:26:31] Look at your pitiful attempt. You really thought you could do that. You really thought you could take me on it. You couldn't even handle my guards. He looks at both of them and he says, I will handle you two later. Oh, I bet they'd get to go in the face. And then, he kind of motions and then the Templar guards begin dragging him away as they start yelling and then she says, brother, this is all your fault.

[01:27:00] I knew I shouldn't have listened to your plan. You should listen to mine. He goes, sister, this is all your fault. You should never listen to that traveler guy. I told you not to. Huh? The twins don't like you anymore. I don't like them either. Did we just get them arrested or are they arrested? They're being dragged away, yes. Good. Hey, Archduke, Bishop, Bill Arc, can you do that thing like you did with the Revenant but with their mouths?

[01:27:28] Just like strap something onto their face. He says... Gags. Let's gag them. Don't worry. The next time you meet them they will be rehabilitated. You are going to cut their tongues out? Rehabilitated. No. You fused their mouths. I've got a bowie knife. So they do this thing with like a brick and a hammer. So you see the guards they kind of move in and surrounding the Bellarc.

[01:27:59] Which... Now, Cailin, the Templar commander is just... He's all in shock of everything. It's just transpired. Everything that has happened. Uh huh. You know? And he's not sure what to say. He's speechless. Yeah. Because he was about to be the new commander of the church. Yeah. And he just kind of begins walking out. I bet. He just starts wandering. He's like, I just had to run.

[01:28:29] So I kept running. Alright. So what do you guys do? Uh, apparently we're going on a mission. You're gonna go make preparations? Going on a mission. Infiltrate and retrieve something that's about to come here anyway. Let's rest first though. Here's the map. Does Dracula have the information that we did this? Alright. You guys over here in Varnwick? Yeah. Hmm.

[01:28:57] Duskwatch is everything west of the mountain. All of this west of the mountain. So we could swing back by home first. So, you will have three different paths. And this is something you guys can discuss in between sessions. You have three paths that you can go into Duskwatch. Each one has a greater difficulty. Okay. Okay. The quickest path is through the Moonfall Pass at the top. Okay. But it's also the most dangerous. Yeah. Let's not do that one.

[01:29:26] The second quickest is through the Vail Spire Pass. Which... Let me guess. It's the second most dangerous. It's the second most dangerous. It's the second most dangerous. It takes longer than in Vail. The second most dangerous is from the home. This is Castle Dracula up here. What's the slowest? It's not a direct, but it's... You kind of have to go through more vampire territory. But if we teleport back to our home... The Dreadfang Pass down here. Uh-huh. At the edge of the forest.

[01:29:56] That is... The slowest. The least difficult, but also the slow. You have to travel all the way through... Let's do it. I'm going to go the slow thing. That gives us more time to level up this. Exactly. So, that's something for Departy to... I think we just did. I like the idea of traveling teleporting us back to our home. Yeah. So we can check in. So we can do the slow thing and... Yeah. Level up. So... With that, you guys will level up? Yes.

[01:30:24] You guys will reach seven, I believe? Seven. That's a holy number. Before you begin the next... Yes. Sounds good. We hope you've enjoyed this week's episode.
