Laerryn Counterspell

BRENNAN: And... Patia.
MARISHA: What?
BRENNAN: I'm going to need a constitution saving throw from you.
MARISHA: No!
AABRIA: What's happening?
MARISHA: I just used my reaction to save Nydas!
AABRIA: What's happening, Brennan?
BRENNAN: Our friend- hold on one second. Oh yes, yes, yes.
AABRIA: Yeah.
BRENNAN: She's got to get within 60 feet, which she is. She's firing off a powerful necromantic spell.
AABRIA (LAERRYN): No, she's not. Counterspell.
MARISHA: Yeah!
TRAVIS: What?
BRENNAN: You got to give me the level.
AABRIA (LAERRYN): Level 3. I'll roll for it.
BRENNAN: Okay.
AABRIA (LAERRYN): Counterspell's abjuration. I get to add my proficiency back on top of the ability check when I roll for this.
BRENNAN: Copy that.
LOU: We love to see it.
AABRIA (LAERRYN): This is my city.
BRENNAN: Now, she's going for your Counterspell. Give me the level you're casting it at again, one more time?
AABRIA: 3.
BRENNAN: 3rd-level Counterspell. So, she's coming for you. DC is 13, it's a 3rd-level spell, and she is adding plus 4. So a 9 or higher, your Counterspell gets Counterspelled by her.
AABRIA: Okay. Counterspell is a counter-
SAM: Wait, so we want a 9 or higher, or we don't want-
BRENNAN: You want an 8 or lower.
SAM: Okay.
TRAVIS: That's big odds.
AABRIA: Die, roll low, please!
LUIS: Can you Counterspell a Counterspell?
SAM: Yes.
AAABRIA: Yeah.
BRENNAN: 4!
LOU: Oh, baby! That's what we like to see! That's the juice! Put that in the damn engine!
BRENNAN: Lacrytia Hollow... Lacrytia Hollow throws a 7th-level Finger of Death your way.
TRAVIS: Holy shit.
MARISHA: Necromancers.
TRAVIS: Them was curtains.
BRENNAN: Which would have... Yeah, that would've been quite bad. Laerryn, what does it look like when instead of that spell happening something else happens instead?
AABRIA (LAERRYN): I think another one of her sigils just appears under her feet as she's just marking this place. It's her city,
and she just reaches up and grabs, and a little dome of gold that's her magic lights up as her eyes flare and she just grabs the Finger of Death. I think it feels like a squeeze and goes, "Not in my city!"
BRENNAN: [VWOOM] The Finger of Death, in the palm of your mighty hand, [whoosh] turns into raw ether and goes into a little battery on your belt.
AABRIA: Yeah!
MARISHA (PATIA): Patia's just sweating because she's like, she's dual fisting it, speeding up Zerxus and slowing down Nydas at the same time. So I'd just say, "You are my best fucking friend."
AABRIA (LAERRYN): "I love you, bitch, I got to save my engine."
