On a knife-edge ascent through the black cliffs of Dagger Reach, the party’s path narrows beneath circling shadows, and every gust of mountain wind feels like a warning. With predators wheeling overhead and nowhere to run but forward, the crew braces for a confrontation that turns the cliffside into a powder keg of nerves, steel, and spellwork.

[00:00:00] You're listening to a Saturday Night Gaming Podcast, Bloodstone, run by the Game Master, Scott Hibbard. Hope you enjoy. Alright, so here we go. They're nice fan players.
[00:00:32] Alright, so, and since you did so well on your rolls, you got the 2 out of 3 for success rate, so best 2 out of 3. I'm going to do this. This is the path that you guys are on right now. I'm going to reveal their location. You're then going to place yourselves accordingly, and then you get spotlight first. High ground. I want the high ground.
[00:01:00] Well, you might want to see where they are. Yeah, can we like see where they are? Well, high ground only matters if you have it. These guys are heavy wings. Yeah. So I need to be above them. High ground is only there. I will place myself upon the moon. Can we just wait and see where they are? They're right there. I'm going to get a joke. By the way, just so you see on here, that white circle around them means that they're in flight. Okay.
[00:01:28] So if that white circle is removed, they're not in flight. They're all flying above us. Do you want to look at the map? You might have opinions here. So the, so that I'm looking at it correctly, the white path is going up, right? Yeah, you guys are starting at the bottom and you're making your way up. And so this is just clips. Those are clips. Yeah. Why don't you start down here? Well, he says we start at the bottom and then make our way up. I'll take back. Well, yeah, that's kind of where you guys have been traveling. Now you can place yourself anywhere on this map if you like. That takes a six. So we could be here and be like, oh, we're done.
[00:01:58] So he's on our backside. Well, I mean, you can try. I mean, they can move also, so. Uh-huh. Joke's on here. I mean, if you guys want to do a chase scene on a narrow path, go for it. That's agility, by the way. We've got wings. Yeah. Oh, wait. Thaldra has wings. The one person who has wings is not here. There are 16. I can't drop my bubble because we're going to be on the move, I'm assuming. Unless we're just going to take a stand. But like.
[00:02:27] As of right now, they have not attacked and they just said. But it's assuming that all of them can see us because the path goes up. So like we're at the bottom. They're all looking down at us from the air. They have literally been watching us as we walked along the path. But like even these guys. They have finally revealed themselves. It's not like we can't. There's no tactical advantage on any portion of that map. It's not like we can only draw a few of them. I like the idea of this area where it's a little bit wider. Or that cliff side. This area right here. No, that cliff side's nice.
[00:02:57] I mean they're all flying so we have room to walk no matter what. They're not actually near us. They're flying. He's saying he wants to be here where it's wider. Yeah. That's fine. And we're surrounded so we can attack in any direction. What powers did you just get? You just got something about a wall. I did. And I will punch. Put on a minute. She just got like this wall power. A wall of hunger.
[00:03:23] Succeed on a spell cast roll to create a visible wall of withering energy and a line between two points within far range that lasts until you mark a hit point or cast the spell again. Any creatures inside the wall when it appears or who try to pass through the wall must mark two stress. Then make a reaction roll on a failure. They are temporarily restrained by the wall. Does it say how tall the wall is?
[00:03:53] Like doesn't that count for flying creatures? It doesn't say how tall it is but within far range is what it says. I can climb these walls. But I mean for intents and purposes we'll say it goes out too far. What I meant was like if it's a wall they can just fly over it without being penalized right? Well yes but that is... It goes up too is what you're saying. Right.
[00:04:16] So they would have to make a couple movements because they would have to move up and then down again instead of just like that. So can the wall go all the way around us? No it's from two points. So it's point A to point B wherever she chooses. Remember when we were here? Remember when we were here at that bar? Or right down there? So like if we're all here she could put a wall here? Correct. But then these guys could still... I don't think the wall is going to be useful right now.
[00:04:41] Or she could theoretically put a wall from here to here to cut off some of the vampires that are down here. That's true. Yeah you could put a wall at the bottom or like right here where we are you mean? Basically across the cliff wall. Oh okay. Just so everybody knows their current how far they are off the ground roughly is about close range. They're also close? They're just hovering. Off yeah off the ground so. Off of whatever level of the ground that they're at?
[00:05:11] What else do you have? Right. Okay. Yeah so basically if you're on the same level as these guys they're close range above you. So we would be about even with them here? Yeah. Exactly. Now you're getting out of here. Okay. There's a reason why I chose this specific map. So if we're in this area. How long does this stay? If we're right here. It's only good for like. We would be roughly even. I mean it can stay roughly but it only heals once. Um. Um.
[00:05:42] Um. Did you hear what Dan's idea was about the wall? I heard it. Do you know? Okay. Because it tactically it might be good to know which enemies are going to be not a problem because of the wall. So Dan's idea was. We could put her wall like here. Uh huh. To basically stop these. Or force these to have to go either around or above.
[00:06:10] Yeah it would slow down all the guys basically in the lower half of the map. If she does that I have a tether that can ground one of them and they're restrained with us. And then we can inquest them. Do you still have one puppet? Oh yeah. So we have two people that can cast blood puppet. What is that? Which grabs one of them and forces them to move to another one and we force them to attack. Oh nice. Before we start making them tear each other apart.
[00:06:38] I also have zona protection. Right. I was going to do the tether just to bring it down so that we can talk to it. Yeah. Oh you want to talk to it. Right. Because if we can turn. Because I didn't just say. Welcome. Night we reach. Welcome to night we reach. That's fine. But let's say that that doesn't go well. I still want to know where our options are. What's the healing field? It's a zone of protection that basically reduces damage to people that are inside it.
[00:07:06] Okay so wherever you put that I could put my thing. Yeah. And then the spell cast will be good. And it's a D6. It reduces by the amount that's on the D6 and it ticks the D6 up. I also have. She also has the tether that can pull somebody to us. When the D6 has ticked all the way up. It goes away. Okay. She has a one off healing thing. I have a healing thing. So like once your thing goes away. If we need it she's got something she can heal.
[00:07:36] And all this does is reduce the damage. Are these all the fire? I have an inch. Okay yeah. She's got a one time. So y'all are in the rear. If I start shooting them and it does them damage. If I spend two hope to heal one of you I can. Makes you wonder what was that. Okay so. So they can make them attack each other. Two of them. She can pull one to us. And I can as well. With mystic tether. Okay. And then he's got a field that we have to stay inside of to heal. I'm death grip. Or to do something. I have a field that we stay inside of. Is this weight less good than I thought it was?
[00:08:05] Can I see your sheet? Oh it's my sheet. I just want that. Personal. Can I see it though for that? Okay. Wait let's do it. I want to know. I want to know where your abilities are. I know you can go unstoppable. Not your HP. Yeah I'm unstoppable. Well what can you do? True. But that damage can reduce. Let me see what else can you do. You can look at all right stuff. I just got some magic. That's what we don't know. What is that you just got new stuff? Well then you start on. I can take a magic potion. It depends. You have too many abilities here. I got a magic potion. Over close.
[00:08:35] Okay what are your current abilities though? You have too many? Yeah. Maybe he doesn't know. How many of you have? He doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't. Are these vaulted? Yeah. Yeah everything that's not on that front page is vaulted. He can do support. I'm just trying to decide if it would be better to fill the room. Also magic flush. You can swap them up. Basically he's just super duper. If I drink that magic potion I still kind of have it. It doesn't take an action.
[00:09:04] It's not like digestion yet. It's just sloshing around and side by over. Oh my god. Are you going to just like be a teapot and tip over and pour it back in the bottle? And pour it in the sandwich mouth. I think you break through the wall and go oh yeah. So I just wanted to zone a protection. He's just basically super powerful. It's nowhere near as good as I thought it was. Because it doesn't actually reduce HP loss. It reduces damage. So are you switching it with something?
[00:09:30] So I'm going to spend stress to swap it with my Weep of Flesh back. That allows me to actually heal us. Nice. Alright so we got two healer things. We've got you can heal too. He's going to deal some bad damage when it's time. And so Chuck also has in addition to that blood puppet thing. You also have an animal that can attack things too. What range is the animal? What range?
[00:10:00] Is it like close range, far range? He acts separately. Right. Right. What's his range when he attacks? Oh it's so close. It's melee. So that... I'm confused. I'm not going to... He's not going to like go back to Grosso. He can't run up to somebody. He acts just like you guys. He acts independently. So for his turn he can have Lightbane, which is his companion, move and do something instead of him doing it. I see what you're saying. But the panther has to move within...
[00:10:30] It has to attack within melee range. Okay. It's attack is within melee, correct? Yes. Alright. I like the idea of throwing the wall up first and then me dropping the prism. Those two things should happen first I think. Um... But... Because I even want that to happen before you talk to whoever it is. That makes sense. Because if they get pissed off and decide to attack we may not have a chance to put those Who are we most worried about going down? I've been putting the life ward on you. Um...
[00:10:59] Because you're the other healer. She's pretty squishy. She's the squishiest thing in her numbers right now? Yeah. Okay. So... I've been putting it on you because you also have healing. Also there's a good chance that Ghost Rider is going to show up. So who killed Ghost Rider last? No, he's not going to show up because he's being bound by the bell arc right now. Oh good. Alright, so... So I'll go ahead and put it on Sybil. Yeah, Sybil has the lowest numbers right now. And you guys have to place yourselves? We're right here. On that cliff. The wide cliff. Right.
[00:11:29] Uh... Tell me where you want to be exactly so... I can make sure. We'll be right here. Well how did you get there? I don't care where I was. That's right there. Okay. Travel. Yeah, that works. Uh, I'm right here. How do we do this? Are we just appearing everywhere? We're just pointing. I know, but like can I appear like on top of this guy? No, you're going to come over here with us and defend us because that's your job. Got it. You're going to do one job. Yeah, Sybil here. And then...
[00:12:01] What's your name? Greg? Greg. Put Greg like on this rock. Hello Greg. King of the Rock. The rock in between them. Yeah. Um... That's cool. I used to talk... Travian, do you care? You just want to be like here with us? I was going to bring up the back. Oh, he wants to be in the back right here. And then... Right there. Good. Are you a spellcaster? Uh huh. Yeah, put him a little closer. Because that way...
[00:12:30] I don't know how big the bubble is. How big is the bubble? What are different sizes now? You are... The bubble is pretty big. The bubble is irrelevant to you. The bubble is very close radius. Yeah. Okay. It should cover that entire... And Travian, put Travian a little for the back. The bubble is about to burst. To be in the back. Um... Dan. I figure... I'm probably... In the front? I mean, I would be good there.
[00:12:58] We only have one other melee... person. You want to be close to Greg? So you all can team up? Not really. Okay. Okay, you want to be close to him? I'm figuring they will come somewhere where we are weakest on melee to attack us. If they even bother with melee. Okay, so is that everybody? I think that's everybody. Everybody's back now. And my thing I want to drop down... Which is close range I think, right?
[00:13:28] It's very close, right? Uh, very close radius. It's close. It's very close radius. I'll look, but I'm pretty sure it's close. I think it's funny that we look it up every week. Um... I know the one that I just put down here. The arcane prism? Yeah. I wrote what it does this time. So that's... We don't have to look at that. Right? I just had it. I'm sorry.
[00:13:57] It should be your domain cards. Yeah, I figured it was close. It's close. Yeah. Oh, so hers is a bigger radius than the zonor protection would have been anyway. So this is the edge of it right here. Yeah. That thing's huge. Yeah, it is. Uh... Yeah, you're still going... Is that... That's on the line. That's like, it's lined up right here. But it's not centered.
[00:14:27] But it needs to go like way out this way. That's the reason I thought it was... Up this way, so... That is way bigger than we've been drawing it. Yeah, but like if you put it on... Like centered on me... Cause it's not... There we go. That's right. Will you stop staring at my ass? We're not. No one. Are we taking a picture?
[00:14:57] No. No. He said it's way bigger than we've been drawing it. Don't say that. I am saying that. It's Dan! Dan is doing it. Dan is doing it. This is not way bigger. This is the same size that we've worked on. That is double the size of what we drew last time. Okay. It only appears way bigger because the map size is smaller. It's bigger than the map size. Yeah! We've always done it this way. Y'all are crazy. I've just been sitting here minding my own business. It's been Dan the whole time. I promise, Dan.
[00:15:27] I think you've been telling us very close radius? No. No, we have not. No. Literally every week we look... We always look at us every week because nobody... Like everybody can't... It's close range. Very close is like I can punch you in your face. What is the point of having a bubble that's as big as I can punch you in a face? This is a smaller map size. Oh, okay. So it just looks different. Well, yes. I mean, think about it this way. This map size is probably half the size that the map does last time. Oh, okay. That's what it is. Therefore, your perception... Yeah.
[00:15:57] That's why... Travian, I'm sorry. I know I just asked you. Are you a spell caster? Okay. Yes, he is. Okay. Put him further back. Go on and be like at the back back. This is a protection spell? It's still within the bubble. This is... It doesn't count for you because it's just for spell casters. You don't have spell? You're not part of the... Yeah, it's just for spell casters, but... Do you not... Now that you know where the bubble is, do you still want to be... I'm in my own club. The walls... I am still in such a bubble. I'm good. The wall... I know, but do you want to be like further up with Greg maybe?
[00:16:27] Or like... The wall is going to be like right here. Like from here to here maybe. The wall is protecting us, right? It will be. They'll get restrained. They're flying. They're flying so they can go over. And what happens to a creature that's restrained while in flight? Bingo. Can we shoot its wings? I don't worry. Okay. We're all good. How is it flying? Is it magic or is it wings? They have wings. They're vampires. They probably have bat wings.
[00:16:57] Clip their wings. Alright. So now she needs to throw up a wall. Then he wants to try to talk to somebody. Okay. So first thing, you dropped the stone. You swapped out a card. None of that takes any action. These men were... And I put the life form on civil. You put the life form on civil. It's also been out to the next. You get a villain. We can't have a burden. Okay, cool. So... Any other non-action items that we're doing? Greg has an important question. Are they all wear bat men or are they wear bat women as well?
[00:17:28] These are... There's a mixture. Family mixture. Or are there even some... Maybe trans. Plus a plus one. Plus a plus one. Plus plus three. And I can give you this... Transylvania. Way too much into that. Transylvania. There's some like... Transylvania. Transylvania. Yeah, that makes sense. And then there's just androgyny in general. Transylvania. I forget the European. Not binary. Now you're back in the store. Yeah.
[00:17:57] Well, anyways... Moving on from that one. And so that's how we got here. I'm gonna try to spin it. I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts. Tweety lady. Stunned in the history. Okay. She's gonna put the wall up. She has to do a spell cast roll. And it says that it is using her experience to do it. Well, by what? Succeed on a spell cast roll. I need to roll a 13. Well, I didn't mean like a magic wall. I meant literally the cliff.
[00:18:26] No, she's also hitting the wall. It's called a Hall of Hunger, which is what it's called. Yeah. But if we stood with our backs to the cliff, it can only come from certain directions. It can't come from behind us. Okay, but you wrote an 8 plus 1, so that's 9, plus your experience, which is 2, which is 11, plus your instinct, which is 4. 15. Did you miss it by 1? No. No. 15. I didn't need it to 13. Oh!
[00:18:56] Okay, 13. So now that she's done that... Mine and his were both 16. Okay, okay. That's where it's coming from. It goes within two points, and it lasts until... If I get hit, or if I mark a hit point, or roll it again. Oh, that's... Oh, there is a battle. Yeah, yeah. I imagine them, I didn't realize they were closed. Oh, also just for your guys' knowledge here when you're looking at the rolls, your average
[00:19:23] when you're just rolling just to 2d12s, no bonuses, is 13. Yeah. That's your average. Okay, so the vampires who want to try to cross the wall will have to mark two stress and then make a reaction roll that'd be 16. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Uh, where is this wall going and how long is far range? I think Dan wanted it here to here. Oh no, the wall was... Oh yeah, that's right. Never mind. Like, you mean from like here to here?
[00:19:53] Just... That's kind of what I was picturing. Okay, so about... Just hold on, like, about this. On the other side of traveler to like over here. Okay. Or did you want it further? How big can the wall be? Can she put it from like here to here? Does it say... That way it gets all of those and it cuts off this whole path. A line between two points within far range. So, it can go up the far range. Yeah. Anywhere in between as long as those two points, beginning and end, is within the far range of each other.
[00:20:23] Essentially it's going up to the height of the cliff over here. Basically like right here. Alright, so... Like here-ish? Right there, okay. And there'll just be a line I'm assuming. If there's any creatures... no creatures within the wall already though, right? So is it the top line? I don't think they're inside the wall. Which part of the line is the part of the wall. Which becomes part of the wall where... Is this line closest to us?
[00:20:53] I think the whole thing. The whole... Visually that's the wall right there. Okay, yeah. Make it go a little further to the edge of the cliff over here. And then spread this one out a little more to the edge right here. Yep. If that works for you. So traveler's back is basically against that wall. Um... Except he doesn't really want to touch that wall. Yeah, he's defended by this wall. He's just like breaking the wall. He's defended by this wall. So these guys can still fly down to us. These guys can still come. But all of these guys... Have to wait.
[00:21:22] Have to make some rolls to get to us. Right. I know. Are you cool with that? And then you were planning on grabbing one of them? Oh, was that what Hope or Fear? You were gonna talk to one. It was Hope. Oh, did you Hope back? Yeah, you got yours too. I thought she got her hope back. She has hope. And he wants to grab one and talk to it. But maybe grab it nicely. Cause if you grabbed me and then tried to talk to me, I'd be like, get the fuck off me. I must have tethered the back of her hair.
[00:21:53] Pull her down. Hang on, listen. This is gonna go well. Um... Did you? So you... She's... She's a goth girl! He is! Is a goth girl. Not all vampires are goths, okay? I think technically... Some of them came from other parts of Europe. Jeez! Is this the European or African variant? Of the goths?
[00:22:24] This is the... That's who you want to talk to. I just want you to know that. She's a northern Egyptian goth. She looks like she's in the mood to chat. She looks like she's in the mood to do so. Eat your fucking face. Yeah. She's got her jaw on it. She might eat everything too. I don't think she wants to talk to you. Keep the teeth out of the way. It's fine. Just like ate that jaw and don't do it. You only get to eat once a year, huh? Let's put the crazy away. Let's drink some fluids. I'm just saying. She's a man.
[00:22:54] Eat it. Pull her rip on her. Put the crazy away. Let's put the crazy away for a second. Let's talk. Now if her name is Monica. So they can't eat my blood. I don't have blood. Correct. My mouse. It could be like. Tuck your mouse away. All right. This is the thing. The tether. I mean, we can do this with her. Do you want to try to talk to her? She does not look like she wants to chat with you. I feel like I can talk and then we can judge.
[00:23:24] Sure. Intent. Yeah. And if she tells you. And then I can tell her a bitch. Yeah. She starts to get all flippity-y. If she's hungry with me, I can tether her. Unless you roll fear. And then she tells you. So are they just hungry? Like we should have brought some peasants or something. They're vampires. How hungry are you? Who actually feed you? Who didn't feed you? Yeah. Do you want to offer them a snack first? They're just hungry. He said who didn't feed you. I didn't say it. You said that.
[00:23:54] I didn't say anything. You rolled the beef. No, he said it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So you rolled the talk, but don't talk stupid. Talk nice. Geez. That's duchy. That's a... That's fucked up. That's a lot of confidence to do. Don't talk stupid? What's wrong with you? Like don't say something crazy like, we're here to conquer you. Why would he say that? I don't know what he's going to say. Michael Rizza is a crazy person. We want to walk on this path. Can we walk?
[00:24:22] We would like to talk to your leader. Or like, we would like to just pass through. Can we just pass through this area? Yeah. I would really like to talk to the head of their clan to see if we can build some alliances. We probably should have brought some fish. Maybe that's what I should. Well then why don't you talk to her? Because his charm is off the chain. Why don't Mike? She can make yourself look like a vampire and talk to them. He's got a plus three. Oh wait, I have nobility with that. Yes, he's got a plus three in his presence. Yeah.
[00:24:52] I've got a plus four. You've got a plus four? Yeah, I'm not talking to anybody though. We're going to need you to talk to somebody. She can look like this. But don't say nothing, Steve. She can literally transform. You could transform into them which would mean you would have fucking wings. I don't know if that means they can fly though. They would be a wish. Or a disguise wings. You wet ass bitch. Stop! Jesus! I didn't show her that. They would be disguised wings and they probably wouldn't work. They're on airies.
[00:25:20] They just splashed water on this person and said, look you wet ass bitch. All right, Mike, what are you doing? Okay. So I am going to tell them we would like to pass through your territory. Could we please speak to your leader? Yes. Because to get a negotiation through the route and to see if we can get an alliance would be great. Go ahead and roll.
[00:25:43] I am going to also use this for my experience in divine guidance. Eighteen. With?
[00:26:12] That was eight. That is a failure with fear. Nice. Do you have anything to change that result? I can make it a success with fear. I can burn a stress to swap a thing that would let me do that. It's fine. Whatever. It's a fear. So it's a failure with fear. I like a success with fear better. Do you want me to succeed with fear?
[00:26:42] I can make it a success with fear. She throws a smile at them so that it's not a failure. Right. Okay. All right, so it's a success with fear. I'm fine. I won't just eat my fear. Mm-hmm. Which specific one were you talking to, by the way?
[00:27:11] Um, I am looking at nine. Just directly north. Oh, there he is. Oh, right. They're perched up there too. Nice. Yeah. I looked up because there's a wall behind me. So I'm assuming I can't see any of these. Wall of darkness. Wall of darkness. I'm not a smile. Okay. All right. So you look up at the vampire and you speak those words. Yes. And then you hear just kind of screech at you?
[00:27:43] Um, screech, not cock, but cock. Cock-paw! It's not a chicken. Yeah, but I do want to screech for the people with some toes on their thumbs. Like that, you know? And so as you hear and as it speaks to you and says, safe passage, who do you belong to? Who do you belong to?
[00:28:13] We've been singing that to each other all week. Jeez. I know you can't get out of my umbrella. I told you me about it. And then it looks at the other vampires and then all of them appear to be hungry. You didn't feed them, Greg! Who didn't feed you? Tell them.
[00:28:39] We were sent by our friend, Faye, with a dust rest. Why are you whispering? They can't really hear you. I can hear him. No, he's in character whispering in the air. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Because otherwise I would say, I belong to Donagar! What the f- I told him not to say it! You stupid stuff! Oh, God!
[00:29:04] Tell them after our blood was infected by blight, we were sent by our friend Victor, a doctor, to come up to Duskwatch to talk to a wise old mage about a cure to make our blood drinkable. Yeah, drinkable. Oh, yeah, you wouldn't like us. We're infected. We've got syphilis. What did you say? Don't get the gana syphilates. Which was?
[00:29:30] After we were infected by the blight that is currently spreading across the rest of the continent. Our blood is not good. We were sent by our friend who is a doctor, Victor, and a vampire named Victor. Named Victor. Of the blight tree. Victor of the blight tree. I don't think that's where he's from. I don't think that's where he's from.
[00:29:57] And we were sent to Duskwatch to try and research for a cure to the blight so that we can be fed upon. I like it! Our master Victor is a vampire. Yeah, he wants to feed on us. Alright, you get to roll with disadvantage. Just because? I thought it was pretty convincing. You shouldn't throw in Victor. Oh no. Ugh!
[00:30:26] The Victor was the bad part. He's not one of these vampires. He's from the wrong house. How can we all help him to roll? Because as soon as you say the name Victor, as soon as those words leave your mouth, you look at it and they just kind of go... Right, but how- And you're like, oh! Wrong thing! How can we help him to roll better? As a group. I think we have, well, does anybody have any- It turned into my ooze form before I start talking to you? Can we do it as a group effort?
[00:30:56] No, it's just him. Does anybody have any dealings with vampires? I can look like one! Good relations with a vampire I have. She can look like one. Oh. I can look like one and that's about it. Well, I love a vampire. But that's the vampire I have good relations with. Yeah. Oh, I don't think anybody has anything that can actually add to it. Unless you guys have a specific ability. Anybody have one? Besides looking like one. Like to offer a help action is what I'm looking at.
[00:31:25] What are you rolling- Like you could spend a hope and give an advantage, but- Is focusing or- No, this is talking about stuff. Yeah, it's social. If- Maybe I'll have relations to these- Can I, because I can only affect time personally, can I take back the moment where I said Victor to him?
[00:31:58] He's about to roll for the conversation, so- Yeah, I don't know how time or space could help him do this. Yeah. I don't know. I don't have anything that really does that. Okay. And I don't think destruction or creation would do it. Unless you're creating- Nobody has any experiences. Creating a connection. I mean, I have Shadow Spinner which- I have a-
[00:32:27] I just used my experience in Blightbane. I have Shadow Spinner which allows me to manipulate things. Like, so I have Shadow Slayer that allows me to attack and be like better at killing things that are dark. And then I have Sight of the Druva which I usually use for other magic stuff. But I also have Shadow Spinner which is- I've used it for like illusion stuff in the past. But that's-
[00:32:55] I currently have a plus five to whatever this was. Well, I mean- Oh, with a disadvantage. Oh, I have a disadvantage for you. Alright, you got it. Yeah. So- I guess roll. Roll. Yeah, let's see what we get. Does that make sense? It's a- 12? That's good. 12 out of- And what's the other one? That's-
[00:33:25] Would you plus five? Yeah. Hope or fear? That's not good. Hope. Well, that's good. At least you get a hope. Did you succeed or fail? That was a fail. That was absolutely a fail. What? He got hope. He's like, dude, I didn't even hit tier one difficulty with that. What's her reaction?
[00:33:56] So, as you see her, I mean, we just kind of scoff at you by doing that. And then you try to twist your words back and try to salvage what you're saying. And at this point, she's already stopped listening to you as soon as you mention the word Victor. Apparently, Victor does not have great relations here in Duskwatch. That makes sense. And now you know. Hey, that's learning. Yeah. Right? And learning is half the best. And then you see them as they-
[00:34:24] At this point, as they basically, you know, each one of them, you know, take flight or whatnot in the air. And they prepare basically to strike because, as I stated, they're hungry. You can see the hunger in their eyes and they want to feed. So, one of- Alright, Herb's just about to eat. Yeah. Right? And so, as soon as a failure would hope, it passes to me. We didn't ask for people! You did get it, Hope.
[00:34:49] On the bright side, we have a wall on one side of us. And a cliff on the other. Yes. So, if they want to attack us, they have to come through- They have to take time. What they have to do is take time to fly over the wall. We don't have a ceiling. Or around. But they have to come through a hole. Or, they can go through it. I was about to ask, what do I need to do? Do they just start slaving their bodies into it? No, it's not a physical wall.
[00:35:18] It is not a physical wall. They can't- It's a shadow. It is a wall of hunger. They can walk through it. It is a visible wall of withering energy in a line between two points. If any creature inside the wall, when it appears, has to mark two stress, they then make a reaction roll. On a failure, they temporarily go with a temporary restraint. So, they can try and cross through it marking two stress.
[00:35:49] Let me get this straight. And if they fail, they- When they come through this wall for us- What's the difficulty on the reaction roll? 16. They're just gonna be really hungry vampires? When they get to us? Like- Before I was gonna eat you for fun- It just says wall of hunger is all it says. No, it is through the wall. To move through the wall. They can move through the wall, and if they- The reaction roll is 16, so they can move through the wall.
[00:36:16] See, before I was just gonna bite you for fun, but now I'm actually faddish. Move through the wall, mark two stress. If they fail, they're restrained. Oh, okay, okay. So, to move through the wall, they mark- They have to mark two stress to move through the wall. If they fail, they're restrained, and they succeed, they just mark two stress. Mike got lucky. He got lucky. So, the first vampire- What's her name? Dive bombs. Straight through the wall. What the hell? The CL shouldn't have told him. Mark two stress. Yeah.
[00:36:46] By supporting that 20 on that reaction roll. So, Mike, you're welcome. Yay, yay, yay. Because that would have been the attack roll. Well, what can you say, Brett? You're welcome. But now we're on the attack roll. Okay. Um. See, he wouldn't have thought about any of that if they had a total. 20 to hit it. Uh, yeah. Does that hit? Yeah.
[00:37:17] What is your- What is your- My evasion? His evasion. It's like- Yeah, that's right. The tougher folk had lower evasion. Alright, Mike. So, this first vampire- Yes. Dive bombs through the wall. As it does, it feels that withering energy just starts cloying at it. Um, which I marked the two stress for. Okay. So, by the time it comes out, is it like, sunken cheeks and like, kinda like- It's like as it's-
[00:37:47] And he's a big ball of blood, right? Yeah, as it's bursting through the, uh, the shadow wall, like, you can see like- Uh, spectral hands kinda like reaching out, like grabbing its face, like pulling on it, as it's trying to push its way through. Oh, God. It's like- Sigourney Weaver sitting in that chair during Ghostbusters. This is creepy. But he's a big ball of blood, right? I don't know what you are now. You're just a big oozy ball of blood. Right now, I am still in my humanoid form.
[00:38:18] You and your viscous characters are really confusing on whether or not they're composed of certain things or not. You're not- When that's out? When you turn into a big blood ball? When I turn into that. But at this point, do you look flushing? Right now, I look like that. Did you take damage? Okay. Oh, sorry. How much did you roll? 24 damage. Yes. Um... Or, excuse me, did you mark HP?
[00:38:50] How much do you roll 10? Yeah, I'm going to take damage. You are now marked. She likes me, guys. So... Hungry! I love this. As she pushes through the wall and she strikes you, the claws as they strike across you,
[00:39:18] you notice that they're kind of glowing. Like that mark that she left on you, it's glows. Yeah. Um... Does it glow like he's cursed or glows like he has a new disease? Uh, like he's cursed. I would like to also mark a stress. Mm-hmm.
[00:39:48] And become... A big blood ball? A big blood ball? Oh my god, now you fight a bunch of hungry, like, vampires as a blood ball. Okay. It has a blood ball? A delicious blood ball? Like, you have no blood, so I don't even know why they would be attracted to you. Uh-huh. Can I just crumble into a pile? I feel like she and I are kind of safe at this moment because there's a big sack of plasma.
[00:40:18] A big sack of plasma? Mm-hmm. Anything else you want to do there, Mike? Oh, wait, there's a reaction? Hang on. I have to roll with the six. See if you actually marked that stress. You marked the stress, okay. You marked the stress, okay. Okay. Now, with that said, I'm going to go ahead and spin a fear. Mm-hmm.
[00:40:48] And number three lets out this terrifying screech. Ooh! All PCs within close range, which is everyone at this moment, make a presence reaction roll. Ha-ha. Reaction roll, sir. Okay. Hold on. I have not changed it.
[00:41:18] I know I haven't changed it. So, I rolled two of nines. Uh-huh. It's a crit? Yeah, it's a crit, but it's also my holy number. Yeah. So, if I roll a nine, I get a hope. Does that mean I get two hopes? Plus a hope for rolling a crit? Okay. Well, it's a reaction roll. Oh. Oh. So... But do I get the... Well, you do get the hope for nines. Sweet. I'll take those. Wait, do I go one?
[00:41:47] Because I've rolled two nines. Yeah. Okay. Okay. What was it? Well, what does it say? Like, unearned the ability. Uh, choose a number between one and twelve. When you roll that number on the duality die, gain a hope or clear a stress. You can change this number when you take a long rest. Can you do both? Okay, so it counts for both. Yeah, it counts twice.
[00:42:15] Because it's when you roll on a duality die, so it's either one. And now I can't see you down. So you're maxed, right? Yeah. I couldn't have taken another one anyway, but I just wanted to know, because for thumbsies, they're all kind of my bitch now. Yeah. What'd you get, Mike? Oh, um... 15. 15? I'm done. Okay. 25. Wow. What did you get that? 20. 20. Alright, so everybody succeeded. Congratulations.
[00:42:45] Uh, everybody just marks their stress. Hey! Except for Traveler. You don't have to mark them. Oh, yay! So we'll count them for that. And that means I scared them all so much. I did not. Like, they were gun attacked, but then I was like, look at my beard. And they were like, meh. Well, number 11 sees you're unfazed, so he moves in for a strike.
[00:43:15] I like how the ones behind the hunger wall are like, I'm gonna go through the hunger wall! And all the ones that are on the other side where they can just move freely are like, I'm gonna sit here and watch my brethren just starve to death in this wall of shadows. Alright, I'm gonna mark the two stress on that one, but he did succeed on the roll.
[00:43:36] Um, that's a crit. That's 20. Is that good? Alright, funnel. Yeah, I can't do anything like that, right? No. What kind of damage does he even carry? Currently? 57 damage.
[00:44:07] Yeah. What the fuck? Oh, cause he crited. Great. Uh, so that goes over severe, but it does not go double over my severe at all. So, seven points over.
[00:44:19] So, I will mark a stress to take an arm slot and that drops it down to 2 HP or 2. Oops. Why did you come up? Nobody told me about it.
[00:44:47] Alright, stay there. Stay there. Good. Alright, good boy. Good boy. Yeah, so he comes through the wall as well, uh, marks his stress for doing it. So, you can see the toll on it taking on his body as his body starts kind of decaying. Moves through and then he strikes right across your face.
[00:45:19] Marked? You're now marked. You're now known as Marked. You've been marked. This is all good luck from hearing on that. And, uh, that is it for me for now. Alright, let's sit here and deliberate about this. So, on my turn you guys did force stress to 2 vampires. Nice. Yes. What are you thinking that you're going to do? I am currently a werewolf or a weresling. I would like to... But if you lash out... Hold on.
[00:45:49] ...attack 2 creatures with my attack. If you lash out, does that hurt us? Or only if you go berserk? That's only if I go berserk. So, right now you can still do... I'm currently five stress away from. Alright. Sybil. Mm-hmm. Your dark fire. I thought vampire 3 was someone that came in not alone. Isn't that your best option? 3-Street. That's a lot of damage and you can control it.
[00:46:16] I think we're still currently, and I want to remind our magic users, me and you, that we are still going to get a bonus one. And... What is this blood puppet? Yeah, because currently Ulrich has... Yeah. Ulrich, we're having... Ulrich is basically covering Lena. I can basically make one of them attack a different one. Oh, cool. Okay. Get those two fuckers and just came through the wall.
[00:46:46] I think it's between that and then the... Spit. I mean, I can actually... Well, there's a lot of them. So I think damaging more of them at once would be better. I can only do... 3. Because I have to spend a hope. For each one that I hit. For each one that I hit. Yeah. Mmm. Whereas maybe I can do that one. The spit. That's the same as my fire, but it's controlled-ish. I mean, it still hits everything that's in its area, but...
[00:47:16] It puts HP instead of... Save that. Maybe we'll... No, I was thinking for some of these. Yeah, maybe it's like when we fast fall special units. Oh, you can do it without actually being near them? That's the... What's your distance? Far range. Okay, then that's mine. The spit also is like ongoing.
[00:47:41] So, I would say spit on the one that he's not going to control. You meet Puppet one of them. She spits on the other. Okay. But let her spit first. So, she spits on one, then you meet Puppet 11. Could we... To attack one. Do you have to hope to do that as a tag team? She has three.
[00:48:07] So, we could tag team against the one that I'm going to use the blood puppet to attack. If I remember right, with tag team, you don't have to target the same target. You just... You just have to be doing the same thing. Like the same action. Or nine minutes. No, like you can choose any actions that would work both with each other. Okay. You're working in unison to attack Alfred, I think. Yeah. Now this only does D10 proficiency.
[00:48:36] Yeah, let me check it real quick. Proficiency D10, so up to 30 damage. It's all I can do with that. It's not bad. It's all I can do with that. Well, and whatever that one can do, right? No, but I'm using their body to make my attack. Yeah, I see. When you do, work with the other character's player to describe how you combine your actions into a unique and exciting way.
[00:49:04] You both make separate action rules, but before resolving the rules outcome, choose one of the rules to apply for both your results. So, do you want number 11 to get away from us? Or want to just attack you? What I want is to... Because I could send number 11 back through the wall. What I want to do is start making a message. To all of these fuckers. My idea is to send number 11 back through the wall to attack number 13.
[00:49:34] So it hurts itself then attacks a thing? So it marks two stress and then attacks 13. And then she can spin on that one causing it more damage. Actually at that point, leave one. I'll... Okay, so 11 is actually on me. So don't worry about 11. Mike uses one and she can spit on 13. So currently if she spits on this one, it lowers it down.
[00:50:02] It's not even stressed yet, but then it has to mark a stress because she spit upon it. You take one and then hit 13 with it as well. Right? No, they don't mark a stress. I mark a stress. They have... They're corroded. So... It lowers their what? Yeah, it just lowers their difficulty. No, what I'm talking about is sending them back through the wall. Right. That one too. Well, that's another thing. I also have something called death grip where I can actually pull someone to us, making them go through the wall. Yeah, let's hold that one. First...
[00:50:32] I basically have like... Spit on 13. Mm-hmm. Drop him down on his difficulty. Mike takes one, pushes them through the wall to attack 13. Damage, damage. And then as long as y'all succeed with some form of hope, I'll blast 11 and start dealing with them. Somebody just hit my car.
[00:51:08] But then we got maximum amount of damage. Do you see what I'm saying? That's what would be weird. Damage, damage, damage. Like we can damage all three of these to start dropping them down all at once. And then if we move past that, we'll have Greg help me with 11. That's what Greg can do. Help me to help you. You help me with 11. Then y'all two work on this one and this one. Greg's still on... You spit on 13.
[00:51:38] Mike throws one through the wall at 13. Greg and I kill 11. So in order to do teamwork, do we have to hit the same person? Teamwork. You don't have to. But tag team is different. Right. Tag team, you spin the three hope, you two choose an action and work together. Teamwork is the help where... That is attacking the same thing. Yeah. Dan would like spin a hope to assist you or you spin the hope to... Oh, that's the advantage. This one with your spinning the hope, you can attack two different people.
[00:52:07] So you spin the hope, you spit on 13. And you attack one. I'm using one to attack 13. Okay. Are you like throwing him into the other? No, I am having him fly through or having her fly through whatever it is. I'm having one fly through the wall to hit 13. Now both of you make your rolls. Yes. And choose which one you're going to go with. With?
[00:52:48] 19. Because we're in the... Mm-hmm. 19 with hope. With hope. 24 with fear. Ooh. 20 with fear. 20 with fear. Does 19 pass their blockade? What is their level? Well, we won't know until you pick. Yeah. He's not gonna tell us. Yeah. It's your first action against them, so you guys don't know.
[00:53:17] We do know one thing. When we were rolling our dice before, for the presence roll it was a 15. Because he said I just made it. Correct. It was a 15, yeah. Right. But that was for something different. Yeah. That's presence against these fuckers, right? That was our presence roll. Sometimes their abilities have lower difficulties. Especially if they're AOEs. Okay.
[00:53:45] I'm gonna suppose one of them is a 13. And what did you... And all I have, I don't have anything to make it with hope. All I have is to make it a successful fear. Mine's 19 with hope. And you don't have any prayers that you can put to that? I mean... Oh wait, what does that mean? If you agree, what happens? Um... Is 19 with hope not good? I would be... Or might not be. You're trying to decide. I didn't want to chance it. Yeah, because I... I had their 24. I couldn't make sure. But it's 24 with fear.
[00:54:14] I could make it a 20 with hope. So he's gonna get fear eventually anyway. If we do 20 with hope, I mean... 20 seems good to me. If it fails at 20... Let's do 20 with hope. Then there's a ridiculous amount of these cramlings out here. Spin and die. Okay. 20 with hope is success with hope. Nice. So... How much did they succeed by? Do we get another... Uh, she does. I mean, you should be able to gauge how much your points actually affects. I'm not just successful.
[00:54:44] Well, I don't think we'll really know at all. Like one of us fails. Oh, so... Now I can do a roll of the damage? Is this the result here? Is this conquest? Are we fighting conquest currently? Have you seen the most recent episode? I have only seen up to where he finds conquest. Go ahead and... From the morning through the wall up. Like when he beats the crap out of it. To 13. Yeah, yeah. Alright, so... Do I need to make any... I'm doing a blood puppet. So on success... I spend a hope to control the target by causing them to move...
[00:55:14] Yeah, that's the example. Okay, so you spent the hope. Yes. Okay. If you do both... If you do both... Plus... It's 18... Now it's going to start with 13? Yeah. Yes, sir. And then yours, you took control of one... I took control of one. I'm pushing... Or I'm making it...
[00:55:43] Fly through. Go through the wall. Or you go to 13. Uh... Well, unfortunately, sir, he's not going to attack number 13. He failed his reaction roll. Oh no. So he gets stuck in the wall. So he's stuck in the wall? Yeah. I'm just going to mark two stress. Oh, you're going to mark two stress? Yeah, I'm just marking the two. Um... It says I get to choose the order.
[00:56:15] What are you talking about? When I see that it can't go through... Is it still close enough to hit 11? Wrong. No, because 11 is not in the wall. But he did mark the two stress. Yeah. Okay. So now he's marked four stress total. Okay. And what was on... It was 18 on... 13.
[00:56:44] On 13, okay. And that was with hope. So the one that was attacking me didn't actually make it to 13 because it failed the reaction roll through the wall. Yep. Okay. So it's stuck in the wall. It is stuck inside the wall. Yeah. And it marked more stress. Wait. Yeah, so if he's stuck in the wall, he's... If he failed the reaction roll, what happens?
[00:57:14] He's restrained. Exactly. Yeah, he's just restrained by the wall. Nice. Honestly, that's okay too. I was about to roll a 40-10 on 13. On 13? Yeah. Why on 13? Because 13 was who I was using him to attack. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, describe that for us.
[00:57:43] Your blood pump, what did you do? I basically... Whenever it bit me, suddenly I was like, I'm going to get out of my way. I controlled it and forced it to move away from me. And of course... Right into the wall. It's completely surprised and taken off guard and then it's like against its will, goes into the wall and then gets restrained. Yeah. And then you spit on number 13, right? Mm-hmm. And his penalty, I only marked two stress, it only goes on one.
[00:58:14] Since that was probably closer to my frenzy. That's not good though, right? That's bad for us. We just don't want y'all standing right next to me. That's fine. Now, it was with Hope. Since it was with Hope, can I choose to then move? You can move as part of your action, yeah? Cool. I would like to move down here towards 12.
[00:58:43] Towards 12. That should be close because I was basically dead center. Yep. I'm just trying to get y'all outside of very close. That'd be nice. You're trying to live away from us because you're anticipating it? It's possible. Like literally, I could do it right here.
[00:59:11] I could spend four prayer and pray to my God to make me frenzy. Why would you do that? It would be fun. Hey Greg. I've never gotten to do it. What's your old Greg? You're old Greg now? I'm old Greg. You're Greg the old? I think they've turned into a werewolf three times now. What's your best with that? I've never frenzied. Except against a fish. First time Greg now. I did frenzy against a fish. Oh, I shouldn't do that.
[00:59:40] You frenzied hard. Yeah, that's why you have this thing called a character sheet. Oh. No, it's just too close. Yeah, an old man would say that. Armor, fortified armor. I've got to rage up. Let's see. Oh, that's before my attack. I can mark a stress to gain bonus to my damage roll equal to twice my strength. So do that first and then what's your best attack with physicality?
[01:00:09] I can rage up twice per attack. So mark two stress, rage up, and then we'll attack. I'll attack. I'm going to spend money. Well, I have to spend money too, don't I? Nope. You've got to spend stress to rage up. I'm going to teamwork with you. Can I do the thing where I bang my head as I rage up? I kind of... Yeah, yeah, yeah. It makes a loud clanking sound.
[01:00:38] So you do that while he's attacking number 11. Since I don't have to attack the same thing that he does, I'm going to shoot here. There's a ruler. That is up a cliff. Yes. Now three stress marks. That doesn't matter to me. Okay. It would just be very far, right? If it's a cliff. If it's a cliff. If it's a cliff. What was the range on the cliff?
[01:01:09] Was it close? Close, yes, close. Close, close, close, close, close. So even if it's at distance plus the cliff. I thought it was strong. As long as it doesn't say a spot that you can see. So anything within very far range. So anything within very close range of each other. So I think that hits him and him. So I'm going to fireball these guys. Which ones?
[01:01:37] Six, nine, and seven? Right. I'm going to aim at nine, hopefully doing damage to all of them. More good. And then Greg attack eleven. Okay. Here's this. Alright, well go ahead and make your rolls. It's just those two, right? That's all we gotta do. Oh, I need- Ah! Hold on.
[01:02:03] I'm also going to slow my scope of time to assist me in my shot. Oh no, this one. And I get a plus one on the spot. And I get a plus one on the spot. Plus two? You said seven, right? I'm going to shoot at nine. Nine.
[01:02:33] And then nine is close enough to seven and six that it'll hit them. It's also close enough to one. Very close. It's gotta be very close. Oh, okay. I can shoot them in far range. I can shoot. Very far range. But they have to be in very close range of each other for the explosion. Hmm. Can I- I will roll. We have seen- Well wait until he rolls. It's a tag team, so. We have seen an idea of how much damage they can take.
[01:03:02] You know a twenty succeeds. Well also, if he doesn't succeed, he's my ally and close by, I can like spend a- hope to get him to re-roll one of his die. Or maybe it's two hope, let me see. It's two. It is two hope, which is what I have. Well I rolled a nine. And? And? I'm gonna re-roll that other die if you can see. Oh, total? You rolled a nine total? No, no. I didn't just roll a nine total, but I would like to roll the other one again.
[01:03:32] Yeah. Um, I have that ability. Yeah, uh, what are we doing? What are we doing? What are we doing? Do you get a hope because you're rolling a nine? I do. He does, yeah. Yeah, so that's the nine. That was- What was your total? My total was not enough. What was it? Thirteen. The luckiest number. Plus his strength of three, so sixteen.
[01:03:59] So that's twenty-three with hope. That's twenty-three hope total. Plus I get a hope for the nine. So that's two hope. So maybe it's one hope. And then- Almost refunded yourself. Almost. That's a really cool thing. I have not rolled as many nines ever. Alright.
[01:04:29] I've been waiting for this time apparently. So go ahead and roll your damage. Alright. Um, and then- What damage does- I need a reaction roll for yours? For mine? Yeah, or what is it? Uh, you have to make a reaction roll of thirteen. Okay. Uh, for the other two. Targets who fail take the full damage. The ones that succeed take half damage. Does number nine also get a reaction roll? Or no? Since he's the target.
[01:05:00] Proficiency is the number of dice- The target on all creatures within very close range must make the action. So all three of them have to. Alright, let me roll one more. Well, this target failed. And one of the other ones failed. Uh, number six succeeded. So nine and seven failed. That's both. Hmm. And if he succeeded, he- He takes half. Okay, yeah. So six takes half, nine and seven takes full. Six was the one.
[01:05:40] Dice done. Here we go. Detail taste. I think this- Cheekmouth rocks.
[01:06:11] That was severe damage by the way. Oh, that's pretty good. That's pretty good. And he's now bloodied. Bloodied again. And number eleven no longer is flying. If you bloody him again, I think that means he's dead. Okay. Yeah, just a guess. Next turn, we'll bloody him again. So you took eleven out of the air with a swipe. Who did? You did. Oh, I did. So those two, nine and seven, are gonna take fifty-nine.
[01:06:39] And then six is gonna take twenty-nine point five. So thirty, we round up. Yeah, you round up. So thirty to number six, fifty-nine to nine and seven. Wow, that's pretty good. And I think that's it. They just take damage. It's not like excessive burning damage or anything like that.
[01:07:19] So every one of your attacks did severe damage. Just now. And bloody them. So at this point- Oh wait, I'm sorry, no. Major damage to number six. So these two are bloodied. Yes. And eleven's bloodied as well? Yes. And one is stuck in the wall, thirteen is corroded. Corroded? And then I'm over at twelve. Yes, because I spit on him.
[01:07:49] Oh, and you're at twelve just in case you go with the... One moment. Have they decided that this is not worth their time yet? Hopefully not. Because they weren't like being threatened, right? Not until... No, we were talking nice. Yeah. We were like, hey dog. We know people that drink blood. We know other bloodsuckers, alright? We're with you man.
[01:08:18] And they were like, we don't like that bloodsucker. Yeah. And then... He's a pretty boy. And then my told traveler in character, I'm excited to get some wings tonight. So go ahead and describe as you guys did your attack, your combined attack. And then I'll describe what they did. Do you want to do a thing where you throw me up into the air and I chop wounds off? Yeah, so I'm just sitting there and I'm like, come here boy! And then I boost him.
[01:08:45] And so he just bounces off my hands up into the air as he's slicing down on a lemon. And then I spin around like, and my amulet's like glowing blue as this happens. And everything else seems to go like... Oh yeah, you slowed down time. Oh yeah. It slows down as I'm still moving full speed. Get the revolver right off the sleeve so the cylinder's like spinning the whole time and just... And like the fireball hits the cliffside and just explodes.
[01:09:13] And the only one that's like, oh shit I see this coming is six. And he's only like able to like put his wings in front of his face before it still like splashes may palm on him. The other ones are like, oh my god it hit me in the eyes! Not the eyes. He couldn't need his eyes. It's never good in the eyes. IYKYK! Not the hair!
[01:09:45] They're conditions. Or when the smoke clears, by the way... Yes, yes, yes. You see that they have moved. How? I have my hairs. Run away! Oh, run towards them! What are you guys talking about? No, no, no, no! When the smoke clears, you see them as they basically turn into what looks to be shadows. And those shadows move quickly and then they reappear and rematerialize right next to them. The danger zone.
[01:10:14] They want to be in the danger zone. Apparently. They're no longer flying now. Oh yeah. Nightshade is our cat. Deadly Nightshade. Yeah. Wait, what? Nightshade is our cat. We have a cat. We have a cat. We have a cat. Trayden. Oh, yes. Doesn't he have like a... Oh, the Puma. The undead Puma. Lightbang. Lightbang. Oh, who's Nightshade? Who's Nightshade? Sybil. Sybil is Nightshade. She's Sybil Nightshade. Oh yeah, that's me.
[01:10:43] Am I just missing the... She's sitting there like... She's like, that's my day. What? The look on her face is like, who the fuck is Nightshade? And then she's like, oh wait a second. It's me. Oh. I'm sitting here thinking you're calling her the party pet. Like she's the cat for the party. Wow, really? I'm like, what? That's what Dan was saying. I'm like, what are you saying, Dan? Like... Literally all I can see is Nightshade. Sometimes you gotta let out your tough side. Throw a little dominance around.
[01:11:13] It's all good, man. It's all good. Anyway. Here we go on. I feel quite awkward now. Oh. So, now that y'all are all completely surrounded by vampires, would you like me to boiling blood that area? Where we're at? I mean, y'all are in it, but... Would boiling blood actually hurt me? Yes. But I'm made of metal. It was like... It holds over you. It's my blood that's boiling. No, it would give me a nice shine.
[01:11:42] It's my blood that's boiling. It just makes a lot of... He's just... Yeah. It just burning balls you. Oh, what's your boiling temperature for sure? Uh, very hot. What's your melting temperature for sure? What's your melting temperature for sure? 2 HP worth. It's probably hotter than hot blood. He's magic blood, so let's just not test it. No! Don't boiling blood us. I'm not going to fireball the exact spot I'm in either. Oh. Moving on to my other attacks.
[01:12:11] That's a good way for my character to go out as I repeat 2 at the end. Just give you guys a thumbs up as I... ...follow the boiling vampire blood. So... Yeah, it was a hope. I can do the death grip and target a person, and anybody between me and the person that I target must succeed on a reaction roll or be hit by vines taking 3d6 plus 2 physical damage. Depending on who I target, I can pull them through the wall.
[01:12:41] Or out of the wall. So like if you target it, how far of range is it? Um... Close. So out to... So if you hooked on the 3, you could pull 3 into the wall. 3, yeah. Mm-hmm. She can also reposition herself before doing it. Yeah. You mean like to not hit me? Well, to hit multiple because anyone between me and the target... Yeah.
[01:13:12] And she could, if she positioned herself there, still be with them close. Like behind those fuckers? Yep. And so it would hit 11... 11 and 9 and 6? Uh, we go through 6, 11, yes. 6, 11, 13. Or 6, 11, 3. Or 3, sorry, excuse me. 6, 11, 3. So do a really cool elven like jump, spin, flip. Or just slide between them? Yep. Either way.
[01:13:41] Whichever, you know, decide your flourish. Pick your, uh, what were those little things that they call them in office? Where? Pick your piece of flair. Pick your piece of flair. But while you're jumping in the air or sliding across the ground, say, This is for you, Mr. J! What? Pull him! Carlyquin, you know? Or she does amazing things and then kills shit. Your jokers buried in your heart. So do you want to move first and use it? Yes. This is true.
[01:14:11] Sure again. Holly. Kill a vampire. That's my daddy. I'm gonna have to re-roll this one. It was on its side. That's legit. You might have to re-roll every piece of... That's what he said. Is it worse? Better. Well, it was on its side so I didn't roll anything. Oh yeah. I'm gonna lay into the corner. 15. 15? Yeah. That's not enough. Do you wanna re-roll it? I don't have enough. Is that with the staffers?
[01:14:40] Yeah, that's total with my... Is this... Oh, would the Spoke cast also? Oh, no. It's 16 with the Spoke. It's 16 with the Spoke. It's too bad Ronnie's not here. He could help. For a re-roll? Yeah. I can only make adversaries. Hope or fear? Hope. You want to hope? Yeah. Because I rolled a one on my fear die. Oh. Would you like to be my enemy for a minute? I could make you re-roll. What?
[01:15:09] I can only make adversaries re-roll. 16 is going to fail. Ooh. By how much? Hold on. Can I spend a stress to pull support tank out of my vault? You can spend however many stress... I don't have any hope. It doesn't cost an action to do it. I don't have any hope. Okay.
[01:15:32] So first, in reaction to her failing currently, her role, I will have to do that, well, that to gain hope, which will cause me to mark stress, which will cause me to frenzy, so that I can drop out of werewolf. It's good for him to frenzy. Yeah. So that I can then spend this to gain hope.
[01:16:00] Actually, I could just spend this to add to that roll. What? He got real complicated to like, he's going to go through a list of actions. Yeah, I could just spend three to add to that roll. Would a 19 help? Would a 19 pass? A 19 would succeed, yes. Okay, let's do that. So we know that 16 fails. But 19 does. 19 does not. Right. So a 19 with hope.
[01:16:29] So 17 or 18 is the ticket. You're welcome. We're going to figure this out. Now... I was trying to figure out how to do this and something like that. Whoever is in between me and... Is it number three? Yes. Whoever is between me and number three has to make a reaction roll and succeed against a 13. So six and 11 both have to... Reaction rolls. Number three cannot. And you have to hit a 13. Yes, number three cannot because I successfully grappled him. Correct.
[01:16:59] So he can't do anything. Alright, so number six failed but 11 succeeded. Okay, so now I have to do the damage. Someone closest to you failed. So if they fail their reaction roll... And one in between saw what was happening, he moved out of the way. Did they take half damage or no damage? They take no damage. Okay, so he just got that half damage. He jumped out of the way. He saw what was happening with quickness and jumped. He saw the vines growing out of the ground and he was like... Twelve. Wait, which one was that? Eleven? Eleven, yeah. Yeah. He already got hit by a big empty suit of armor, so...
[01:17:28] He took 15 physical damage. Both six and three? No, three is grappled. Six did. Okay. And I have three and can basically leave him there or pull him through the wall or do whatever Yeah, pull him through the wall so that he takes the two stress or whatever. Pull him through the wall. Yeah, pull him through the wall. Yeah, and then he's still restrained. Yeah, yeah. So six is now bloodied. So six is bloodied, three is stuck in the wall, two stress. Yes.
[01:17:57] He's stuck in the wall and so he's both restrained by the wall and still restrained by the vines because... Well, did you...so you said you wanted to pull him? Yeah. Okay, so he has to march to stress. He marks to stress and he's still restrained. Yeah, he's restrained, period. Yeah. Wall or nothing. By both things. I mean, yeah. Well... Because the wall is up until I either cast the wall again or take a hit point and I haven't done either. Right.
[01:18:25] And literally the name of this episode is... The wall? Fuck around and find out. Fuck. Floyd's the wall. Just another brick in the wall? Just another vamp in the wall. We don't need no... Oh, are you stacking them up so that I can blow you? Foil all of them? Not if we're in... Y'all should get away from this. It's kind of like a big huddle that's happening on top of us at this point. But really they're all damaged and dying so...
[01:18:56] I could drop the two hip points. Wait until they realize that my cog piece opens up and has a revolver inside of it. Does it? So... Have you ever seen Dust of Dawn? Yeah. It has a cod piece that just like flips? That's Sex Machine. Yeah, Sex Machine. Is that your character? Is that what he looks like? The Sex Pistol? But that would be... No, it's not the Sex Machine. Yeah. You've seen Dust of Dawn. I mean, that was a long time ago. Oh man. Go back. It's Tarantino but it's great. Um... Is it Rodriguez? It's Tarantino. That was...
[01:19:26] It was both. Salma Hayek alone is worth watching that. Like I think... In Descarado. That's Rodriguez. But you can go back and watch that. That's also Danny Trejo's first movie where he works on set with the woman whom he had her face tattooed onto his back. Or is it... No, it's his chest. Yes. Which I think is... I think it's his chest. When he meets her. She's like... Glen Boyle? I mean it's... It is very tempting but...
[01:19:55] I mean you've got the... I do have it and I could do it on the ones close to me at least. There you go. But why wouldn't I bother to go ahead and just attack? Why don't you do that thing? Are you trying to draw them to you? So that I don't have to hurt myself. Are you trying to draw them to you so that you can rage out? I think I can hit 12. 12 is right at the bottom of the cliff and 5 is just up at close range, right?
[01:20:29] Yes. So I think I can hit 12 and 5. Yeah, 12 is right in front of you. 12 is right in front of you. Yeah, 12 is in front of you. With my axe. I mean 12 is in the air but right in front of you. Yeah, but I can hit 12 and then bounce my axe to 5. Yeah. With my slime. What are you just like hitting it and then... Oh, the slime tether? Yeah.
[01:20:53] So I'm going to want to do that unless somebody has other things that they want to do with more vampires that are surrounding y'all. I don't want an axe now. If you want, I can help. I mean you're... It'll mark 2 HP on whatever I hit. We're effing up vampires. Whatever you're doing to any vampire helps. Okay. Sex Machine over here has us covered. Is that a new name? Yes. Greg Sex Machine Jones. Jones? Yes.
[01:21:23] So... Y'all are still within close range of me, right? Are we? Yeah. Yes. Yes. Because you're within the circle. Anybody need healing? Sexual healing? One HP or three stress. No. I can give her a stress. Can you give me like a back massage? I can give you either one HP or three stress once I make a successful attack.
[01:21:52] Currently my stress is lower than my HP. You can de-stress me. I got three stress on me right now. When I start shooting these guys, I'm going to start healing myself. Okay. Because I can heal by damage. So I can heal Greg? Yeah. Have you been damaged? No, but I'm stressed out. I've been stressed. We can be able to stress. He said he can heal three stress. Does it take up your roll to do this? It's a once per rest. But does it take up a roll to do this? When I have succeeded on an attack.
[01:22:23] Oh, you could have the same thing that I have. Second when? No. Mine's called healing strike, but I don't have a once clarification on mine. I can do it as much as I want. Yeah. If I succeed with hope, we get to heal both the help, HP and distress. And that's, you get to it. So you're doing that along with your attack. Would my frenzy count as an attack? Or is that just a thing that happens whenever the stress gets marked?
[01:22:52] When you get to mark it, it's a reaction, but it's not an attack you make, the belief. The belief just says you make an attack. Doesn't it? Or you do a damage, what does it say? When you mark your last stress while in slime form, you go into a frenzy, roll a number of d20s, so it's not an attack. No, it's just a damage. I just deal that much damage. You just start damage. So that's not going to trigger that. Not at all. So the axe thing you were talking about? Is it frenzy? No, the frenzy would not trigger it. I can do the axe thing to attack.
[01:23:20] Then I would say bounce your axe and hit those two, and then you can supply the healing power to him, and then we can deal with the vampires right around us. I've already done a teamwork with him, I have not yet done a teamwork with her, so I can do that next, and we can try to attack multiples.
[01:24:07] Okay. If you followed Danaga and you followed Krona. I could literally force myself out right now. If I succeed with hope, then I might be able to attack first, and then... Fair. Okay. That's how it would work, actually. Because you resolve the action, and then you mark the stress. The action. So 9 plus 12 plus 5, so 26 with hope? 26, 16 with hope, yes.
[01:24:38] Excellent. Okay. So, then I also get to add the 10 to my damage roll. So, damage off of my spirit sword is d8 plus 7. And that was number 12 you were attacking, right? Yes.
[01:25:06] Oh, it's how many d8s? 3? What are the proficiency of the leader? That feels okay. So, 16... 16 plus 8 is 24 damage.
[01:25:29] And I will roll a d6 to see if I mark a stress. I don't mark a stress, or I do mark a stress to also send that damage, or to send the sword to attack 5. To attack 5. Gotcha. Which is 7. And then do the same attack roll, which is 6 again. So, and same damage, right? Yes.
[01:26:02] Okay, that was major damage to both. Nice. But they're not bloody. Major damage is still damage. Um... In fact, I think that's going to be my new main name. Major damage? Yeah. Sounds like a GI joke here. Yeah. So, number 5 and 12 lost the flight. He's been the one who got in the air. He knocked him out of the air. Excellent. However, 5 did what the other ones did, and became a shadow and reappeared right next to you. Awesome. And it was a reaction.
[01:26:33] Um... This is very close, right? Yes. So, that's 4 of them within very close. I succeeded with hope. You did. Which I need to roll that d6 again. Did mark a stress. Yeah, one stress left and marked. I have 3. 3? Okay. I'm going to spin a prayer die that had 3 on it to... Oops.
[01:27:02] Send that all the way in there. I'll work for that in a minute. I'll reclaim that in a minute before the floor goes. I will spin another prayer die. Okay. And then... Did you probably stretch yourself out? I did. I need... 70 20s?
[01:27:29] So, you purposely stretched yourself out so that you were going to a frenzy? Yeah. And that's a hitting who? Uh, everyone within very close. Which is 12, 5, I think 4 as well. Yep. 4. And 16 registers. So, yeah. Those 4.
[01:28:02] Let's see if I've got enough d20s or if I have to borrow... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... I'm ready to borrow 1d20. Right there. This one? Yeah. Right, right. Roll that on the left.
[01:28:32] You did it again! Dang it, Danny! That is technically a damage roll. Do I also roll the d10? I thought you were going to say that was a damage roll. Or I was in my slime form. Oh, yeah. Anytime you... It says you had to damage roll, right? Yes. Yeah. So there you go. Okay. So...
[01:29:08] 6... 46... 60... 79 damage. That's a lot of damage. 79. It is physical. Yes. And it hits those 4 right there. Because I didn't make the crimson right to make it magical. Yeah.
[01:29:38] Because that would have cost me more. So, as I mark this, go ahead and describe what this looks like when you go into a frenzy. So, I hit 12. My sword bounces up, hits 5. They shadow down with the sword. And then I lash out with just spikes of slime on everybody. Horb slime.
[01:30:06] And it just pierces into them. Imagine these guys actually... And then I hardened back into my human or... The numbers like... Like maybe like branded on them. You took out 5 and 12. Nice. Killing blows are both the two closest to you. Yes, they have the numbers actually branded on them. And then these, you knocked out flying. However, I do... They turn into the shadow. So, all you gotta do is 79 damage.
[01:30:37] Kill some. Well, you had already damaged those. Oh yeah, 79 plus the original damage that I did. By the way, that was massive damage, just in case you're wondering. 79 is massive damage. Nice. That's even better than major damage. Massive damage. Oh, was that what Hulkamander did? That was what Hulkamander did. Oh. Nice. Nice. I'm gonna spin a fear.
[01:31:03] I feel like my entire army of flying vampires is being made into chunks. We hope you've enjoyed this week's episode.
