Laerryn Episode 4

BRENNAN: It is at this time that you feel some of the spell effects reaching you and Laerryn and Nydas as well. As they are reaching you, and I say spell effects, it would it be more accurate to say magical effects.
TRAVIS: Uh-huh.
AABRIA: Okay.
BRENNAN: You still feel a Protection from Good and Evil on you, which may give you some ability to resist certain things.
LOU (NYDAS): Just so we can get it out of the way, are we within 10 feet of him?
BRENNAN: Yes, you are.
AABRIA: Oh, good. Love you!
LUIS: This is going to be a big one.
AABRIA: A king! An icon! A good question.
BRENNAN: So now, we're going to pause here, unfortunately.
TRAVIS: Take a break?
BRENNAN: We're going to take a little break.
LOU: Yeah, that was a lot.
BRENNAN: No- we're going to pause here. Where's Patia at currently, hit point-wise?
MARISHA (PATIA): 49.
BRENNAN: What is going to happen now is we're actually going to do a fair amount of dice rolling.
AABRIA: Oh god!
BRENNAN: For all of you.
LOU: And we're still under one second?
BRENNAN: We're still under one second, correct.
LOU: Perfectly in place.
TRAVIS: Just saying, only one person picked Patia for the best one.
BRENNAN: We are resolving a number of simultaneous magical effects, so this is a longer version of rolling damage for Fireball.
SAM: Okay.
AABRIA: Cool. Where are you right now?
TRAVIS (CERRIT): Safe!
MARISHA: Oh my god! I forgot you're not here.
BRENNAN: Cerrit, not here. Cerrit fully bounced.
TRAVIS (CERRIT): I'm picking up a faint signal and it's real funky.
BRENNAN: So real quick, what I need everyone here to do is to go over your magical items. I'm going to need you, for each of your magical items, I'm going to need you to roll a wisdom save using your wisdom saving throw. I'll tell you again right here that for each magical item, you're trying to hit a DC 23.
AABRIA: What?
MARISHA: 23?
BRENNAN: A DC 23.
SAM: Or they go away.
BRENNAN: Wisdom saving throw. Let me know each item that fails. Luis, you do not need to roll for your Holy Avenger.
AABRIA: Motherfucker!
LUIS: Oh, I don't?
LOU: Well, I'm glad.
TRAVIS: Thank you, platinum.
LUIS (ZERXUS): Everything else I do. Who's within 10 feet of me?
AABRIA (LAERRYN): Me!
BRENNAN: Laerryn, Nydas, not Dweomer, not Quay or Patia.
SAM: This is wisdom save?
BRENNAN: These are wisdom saves. Roll them for each magic item you have and let me know which magic items you did not hit that 23 for.

BRENNAN: Laerryn.
AABRIA (LAERRYN): I only have two magic items. My All-Purpose Tool was a success, but my Ring of Masks for Sending failed.
BRENNAN: Laerryn takes 28 points of damage.
AABRIA: Is this spell damage or no?
BRENNAN: No.
AABRIA: Okay.
BRENNAN: This is force damage, though.
AABRIA: Yeah.
BRENNAN: You see that your Ring of Masks shatters and you watch the shards of your colleagues' faces flying towards you, having concentrated on that ward, you now see unprotected shards of arcane glass and ceramics making their way towards your eyes, neck, and mouth.
LOU: Are we at a second yet?
BRENNAN: Nope. Nope.
AABRIA: Oh my god.
BRENNAN: Nope, nope, nope. Hey, episode four, here we are.

Episode 4 - Fire and Ruin - 0:22:55

BRENNAN: Okay, now we can deal with the fire.
AABRIA: Has it been a second yet?
LOU: Please tell me it's been a second.
MARISHA: Now we deal with the fire.
LOU: It would make me feel better if you just told me it's been one second.
TRAVIS: We just heard the [tick].
LOU: Exactly.
AABRIA: Oh.
BRENNAN: Okay. What is going to happen - It has not been a second yet - I will say now it gets to almost approaching a second now. That all happens.
LOU: Thanks, man.
SAM: The airbags have deployed.
BRENNAN: I'm going to need everybody here- I'm going to need everybody here, hold on, to go ahead for me and make dexterity saving throws. Patia and Loquatius will make this with disadvantage.
SAM: Dexterity saving throw.
LOU: Do we still have-
TRAVIS: Oh boy, Patia. Oh boy.
MARISHA: I ain't looking good.
LOU: But do we still have advantage?
LUIS: Is it a spell or magical effect?
BRENNAN: Magical effect, not a spell.
AABRIA: Not a spell?
LUIS: Then you have a- Oh, wait.
SAM (LOQUATIUS): Another natural 20.
AABRIA (LAERRYN): Natural 20.
LUIS (ZERXUS): No, we don't because the Holy Avenger's what grants advantage and it just went kaput.
TRAVIS: Two natural 20s in a row.
BRENNAN: Okay. So wait, sorry, sorry.
TRAVIS: Two natural 20s in a row. If we roll two more, we win.
BRENNAN: Yes. If you roll two more nat 20s, we do avert the Calamity.
TRAVIS: Four natural 20s in a row, we win. What did you roll?
SAM (LOQUATIUS): It wasn't, it wasn't.
MARISHA (PATIA): 10, so 16.
TRAVIS: Marisha!
MARISHA: I'm sorry. This is all my fault.
LOU: Well, now we know who's fault this shit is, okay?
TRAVIS: Way to go, Patia.
BRENNAN: Okay. Incredible.
MARISHA: Just like my granddaddy-
LOU: No advantage.
LUIS: No advantage.
MARISHA: -and my granddaddy before him.
LOU: But plus 5.
BRENNAN: No advantage, but plus 5, that's correct.
SAM (LOQUATIUS): Disadvantage, I still got a 25.
BRENNAN: Incredible.
AABRIA: Let's go!
BRENNAN: Incredible.
MARISHA: Wow.
LUIS: Do you want to try me?
BRENNAN: Okay, so you were trying to hit a DC 23.
LUIS (ZERXUS): Jesus. I'm not going to-
LOU: That's not it.
LUIS (ZERXUS): Oh my god, I did. I did.
AABRIA: Yours is a plus 5?
LUIS (ZERXUS): It's a plus five because of my cloak.
AABRIA: Cool, I can't remember anything.
BRENNAN: Okay.
LOU: What was the DC?
BRENNAN: The DC was 23.
LOU (NUDAS): Any chance my dex has become a plus 20 in the last- Is that part of the effect at all?
BRENNAN: Unfortunately, no, I'm afraid.
LOU (NYDAS): Great, then failure.
[...]
BRENNAN: Okay. Everyone here- If you failed the dexterity save, if you fail the dexterity save, you take 71- You take 71 points of fire damage.
AABRIA: He's going to say hit.
BRENNAN: If you succeed, it's halved to 35.
SAM (LOQUATIUS): I'm still alive.
TRAVIS: Did you fail?
MARISHA: Night, night.
LOU: Why're you shaking it again?
SAM: She's gone.
BRENNAN: Because that's the fire damage.
LOU: I hate you.
SAM: Wait, there's more?!
BRENNAN: There's more.
SAM (LOQUATIUS): Oh, I'm going down.
MARISHA (PATIA): I am definitely out. Patia's body has been sundered, singed.
SAM: Wait, like out, out? No. Just unconscious.
MARISHA (PATIA): Unconscious.
SAM: Okay.
TRAVIS: It didn't knock you on your-
MARISHA (PATIA): Not completely.
[...]
BRENNAN: 72 halved to 36 bludgeoning, but that's all the same effect.
SAM: What does that mean?
BRENNAN: So that means that the fire and the bludgeoning- Because you're going to be dealing with death saving throws now. So in other words, if that wouldn't do double your hit points, which I don't believe it does or did you- How much?
TRAVIS: Yeah, does 143 go over your hit points?
MARISHA (PATIA): What was I at? I was at-
TRAVIS: You were at 23.
MARISHA (PATIA): 23.
AABRIA: Yeah.
MARISHA: So what was it?
TRAVIS: 143.
LUIS: Total damage.
BRENNAN: What's your total hit points?
TRAVIS: If you fail.
MARISHA (PATIA): My total hit points were 86, so I think that does.
TRAVIS: It does.
AABRIA: Yeah.
BRENNAN: In the eruption of fire as you twist, the blast hits Patia, and you can already see, Zerxus, that Patia head twists past the point that she can remain alive, as she is consumed in fire. Patia is dead.
SAM: What!?
LOU: Are we still under one second?
BRENNAN: We might be pushing 0.9.
AABRIA: No!
BRENNAN: 0.9. All of you-
SAM (LOQUATIUS): I'm unconscious by the way. Because that was an additional 36 points?
BRENNAN: An additional 36 points, so you have fallen to zero?
SAM (LOQUATIUS): Yes.
BRENNAN: Yes. But you made your save.
LOU: What's the total again?
BRENNAN: I believe it was-
AABRIA: 35 and 36.
TRAVIS: It's 143-
BRENNAN: If you made the save.
TRAVIS: 143 between both of them if you fail.
AABRIA: Yeah.
LOU (NYDAS): I'm down, but I'm not dead.
BRENNAN: Not dead. You are down. So unconscious, unconscious, dead.
LUIS: It was 76-
BRENNAN: You both made your save, correct?
AABRIA: Yes.
TRAVIS: I'm so hot for you right now.
BRENNAN: So you guys, you both made it. So 76 damage to you both.
TRAVIS: This is great!
AABRIA: 71. BRENNAN: The first one- If you have resistances, first one was fire and the second one was bludgeoning.
SAM: Are you unconscious as well?
LUIS (ZERXUS): I'm also unconscious.
BRENNAN: You're also unconscious? Okay.
AABRIA: Holy shit!
LOU: Wait, you're unconscious?
LUIS (ZERXUS): I am.
LOU: Who's alive?
SAM: You two-
BRENNAN: Laerryn.
SAM: Wait, you're out.
LOU (NYDAS): I'm out. Yeah.
SAM: So just these two [Laerryn and Cerrit] are up.
BRENNAN: Now-
LOU: Do you have healing spells?
AABRIA (LAERRYN): No!
TRAVIS: She's not going to use them!
AABRIA (LAERRYN): I'm a full-ass wizard!
LUIS: We got healing potions on us.
SAM: I think they all burned up.
BRENNAN: I will say, this is the final save of this.
SAM: Wait, there's more saving?
BRENNAN: Final one.
TRAVIS: It's still one second.
BRENNAN: Both of you- Actually, all three of our unconscious companions will automatically fail this saving throw. Laerryn, I'm going to need a strength saving throw.
TRAVIS: So if you fail, is that two death saves?
AABRIA (LAERRYN): And I don't get the plus 5? Does his corpse give me plus 5?
BRENNAN: It will just be a single death save.
TRAVIS: Got it.
BRENNAN: Hmm?
AABRIA: Uh.
BRENNAN: What is that?
TRAVIS: Natural- natural- It's real. It's right there.
BRENNAN: Is that a natural 20?
AABRIA (LAERRYN): It's a natural 1.
BRENNAN: Natural 1.
AABRIA: I got a natural 20 on the last one and a natural 1 now.
BRENNAN: Okay.
LOU: Wow.
TRAVIS: Well.
LUIS: Travis is feeling real good.
TRAVIS: Good thing I've got my wonder bat in the closet. I'll bring it.
LOU: Is that how it works?
TRAVIS: Yeah.
AABRIA: Hey, Brennan. Look at me.
BRENNAN: Yeah?
AABRIA: I need you to roll low.
LOU: Yeah.
BRENNAN: You have survived the explosion, this is the concussive wave, and you hitting the wall behind.
AABRIA: Is this a spell effect?
BRENNAN: No.
TRAVIS: No, this is physics.
BRENNAN: This is physics.
TRAVIS: This is the [wh-BOOM].
LOU: You survived the spells only to be killed by science.
AABRIA: The irony..
BRENNAN: This is a much lower damage throw. This is only 10d6.
TRAVIS: You padded the walls of the battery chamber, right?
LOU: Yeah. Is there moss? Just a shit ton of moss, right? Half damage for moss.
BRENNAN: 37 points of damage.
AABRIA (LAERRYN): I'm still up.
LOU: Oh, thank god.
TRAVIS: Saying that confidently.
LOU: The rest of us fail and take half damage.
BRENNAN: So Quay, Zerxus, Nydas, each fail a death save.
LUIS: Just the one, right?
BRENNAN: Just the one.
AABRIA (LAERRYN): 22 HP. The only hit point that matters is the last one.
TRAVIS: That's all you need. That's all you need.
SAM: Max Healing Word.
BRENNAN: Laerryn, you are thrown out past all of this. You leave the Calix. You're thrown through the door and feel yourself moving. Your companions intermittently start thudding into the walls behind you.
LOU: I keep forgetting.
BRENNAN: Time slows down, [whish]. Zerxus. [bwoom] You feel a ripple. You've used your reaction for your Arcane Ward, Laerryn, but I will ask for an arcana check from you.
AABRIA (LAERRYN): 21.
BRENNAN: Time Stop. 9th-level spell coming through. You freeze. Now the time is no longer just slowed, because we're in bullet time. Now some thing is messing with time. You are locked out of it. [Vwoom] You have no reaction.

BRENNAN: We return. Two of you are making death saves. And Laerryn, you hit the wall. How many hit points do you have right now?
AABRIA (LAERRYN): 22.
BRENNAN: 22. Laerryn, you hit the wall and drop. You may act at any time, but you also are aware as you hit the wall, that time has returned. So, [BOOM, CRASH] Nydas, Quay, and Patia all hit the wall. Zerxus does as well. You could roll a medicine check to see who's dead and who's unconscious.
AABRIA (LAERRYN): Yeah, I see four cor- I see four effective corpses. How far away is Quay? From me.
BRENNAN: You got blown back through the door, so I think you're probably 40 feet back.
AABRIA: From him?
BRENNAN: From Quay. And then there's another probably 30 feet to the center of the chamber where you see... It's hard to look at him. First of all, there's heat waves all around him, like on a hot day. But he's also just impossible to behold, but you see something that your mind registers as a figure cloaked in red, about 12 feet tall, looking down at Vespin. You see the Lord of the Hells speaking to Vespin Chloras and you can hear what he is saying in this moment, but...
AABRIA: He's 70 feet away.
BRENNAN: 70 feet away, yes.
AABRIA (LAERRYN): And I know how far Counterspell works.
BRENNAN: Mm-hmm.
AABRIA (LAERRYN): But you're too far, and they're all bodies. I Dimension Door away.
BRENNAN: [shoomp] You Dimension Door away.
SAM (LOQUATIUS): I'm still alive.
TRAVIS: Let's go.
AABRIA: You're already dead.
TRAVIS: Let's stretch it out. Let's go!
AABRIA: You're already dead.
SAM: You're leaving me.
AABRIA: You're already dead!
BRENNAN: Okay.
SAM: Just like always.
BRENNAN: You Dimension Door away. As you do, as you Dimension Door to a secret private sanctum that you know about, you see a screen. [crackle, boomf] A light in the room that you are in. From prone on the floor, being kind of [sparking] glitching and static-ing, is a feed from Dweomer, whose body is on the ground. She might still be partially active but she is just flat and still on the ground, showing you an image of what is happening in that room.
