- BRENNAN: I was going to say, there are ways for you to know where someone is without having to see them.
- AABRIA: Oh, I wish the bird was here.
- MARISHA: Sure.
- SAM: Cologne.
- MARISHA (PATIA): I mean, I could always do yet another Detect Thoughts or Detect Magic? I'll detect magic. How about that.
- BRENNAN: Amazing. As this is happening, what is Patia going through as you are in here. You're reaching down for- Hold on one second... So. Amazing. You cast Detect Magic. [bwooom] I'm going to say because there is a spell specifically called See Invisibility, this is going to give you a direction. Actually, I'll go ahead and ask for a perception check here.
- MARISHA: Oh my god.
- AABRIA: Oh no.
- MARISHA (PATIA): My perception checks have been bad. 10.
- LUIS: Fuck.
- BRENNAN: On a 10 perception check, you cast Detect Magic. You can detect a powerful illusion in the room. You know that something is hidden in here. You immediately get the feeling of it being to your left. It is towards the left side of the room. As you feel in that direction, so, [vwoom], you feel something over there that is some kind of illusory presence, but you can't detect the exact square that it's on.
- SAM: Okay.
- MARISHA (PATIA): Okay. I just... Patia's brain is moving a thousand miles a minute as I'm trying to clock everything. I turn, and I just shout to Laerryn, "West side of the room."
- AABRIA (LARRYEN): "Copy that."
- BRENNAN: Laerryn.
- AABRIA (LAERRYN): Yeah?
- BRENNAN: You act next.
- AABRIA (LAERRYN): Oh, it doesn't go. Question, and I'm assuming the answer is no. Is there any universe in which our invisible foe is within 10 feet of this big boy?
- BRENNAN: This invisible foe is not within 10 feet of this big boy.
- AABRIA (LAERRYN): Okay, totally fine. Then, this is going to be a 'to whom it may concern.' I'm going to cast Fireball.
- MARISHA: Yes! That's what I would've done!
- BRENNAN: Hey, you know what? If I have a direction, I know how to get a concentration check. Hell yeah, go ahead and roll damage. Or actually, so sorry.
- AABRIA (LAERRYN): Dex save against a 20.
- LUIS: Damn. 20?
- AABRIA (LAERRYN): Level 14.
- BRENNAN: Amazing. Let me ask a question to you.
- TRAVIS: That's ferocious.
- BRENNAN: So you go ahead and drop a Fireball. As you drop a Fireball, you get hit with a Counterspell.
- MARISHA: Fuck!
- BRENNAN: [BWOOM]
- AABRIA: Of course.
- BRENNAN: Your construct can go.
- AABRIA: Yeah, okay.
- TRAVIS: It's a high enough Counterspell where it just kills the Fireball?
- BRENNAN: Well, Fireball is 3rd-level.
- TRAVIS: Right.
- AABRIA (LAERRYN): This was technically upcast to fourth.
- BRENNAN: Oh! Was it?
- AABRIA: Yeah.
- BRENNAN: I'll go ahead and roll in that case. I'll be very fair minded.
- [...]
- BRENNAN: Our friend here needs an 11 or higher to overcome your Fireball. A 10 fails by one!
- TRAVIS: That thing was on a 12 but it flopped over.
- AABRIA: I saw it rolling on that.
- BRENNAN: Go ahead and roll damage.
- AABRIA: All right.
- LOU: There you go.
- AABRIA (LAERRYN): Still a dex save from him.
- [...]
- AABRIA (LAERRYN): Yeah. 41 points of fire damage.
- LOU: Ka-cha!
- MARISHA: 41 points?
- LOU: Good job!
- BRENNAN: So this dude's got to make a DC 20 constitution save?
- TRAVIS: Yeah, no bigs.
- MARISIHA: To keep his shit up.
- LUIS: Dex.
- BRENNAN: Okay.
- AABRIA (LAERRYN): Let's be fair. He still has to make the dex save to not take half damage.
- BRENNAN: Oh, he quite failed the dex save.
- AABRIA: Okay, cool.
- BRENNAN: Yes.
- AABRIA: I was just trying to be nice.
- BRENNAN: I hit a nat 1 back here on that dex save.
- AABRIA: Oh, okay.
- BRENNAN: Okay, we're going to roll again. This is a 19 or 20 on the die or he drops concentration. 14. Not going to get the job done. You [BWOOM] lay down this Fireball, and Magister Micah Cormorant-
- TRAVIS: Ooh, he's up in this bitch!
- BRENNAN: You see he has a bunch of incredible evoker, arcana tech gear. "Hrah!!" As you deal, how much? 44, how much?
- AABRIA (LAERRYN): 41.
- BRENNAN: 41? Hachi machi.
- LOU: Hachi machi!
- BRENNAN: So, Patia, you walk in, clock the direction and the Architect Arcane- It's been a minute.
- AABRIA (LAERRYN): Look, they think I'm just constantly holding concentration on stuff that keeps the city afloat. I get very mad!
- BRENNAN: [vwoom] A perfect casting of Fireball, such that the summoning of it-it's so spherical. What a round ball of fire. Technically perfect, as everything Laerryn does is. [explosion] The Magister appears horrifically burned and screaming as Greater Invisibility drops. Your construct may act, unless you have a bonus action.
- AABRIA (LAERRYN): Oh god, what would a bonus action would be? No, that's fine. I'd feel good with that. I'm just going to have my big boy move forward. Spell attack modifier is a plus 12. All right, as the construct goes up and makes two slam attacks. Plus 12 to hit. 18.
- BRENNAN: 18 definitely hits. He's already burned his reaction on the Counterspell.
- AABRIA (LAERRYN): 19. Cool. 18 and 19. A d8 plus four. What is a d8, oh god, I'm so here for this. 8. Let's see, 16, plus... 26 points of bludgeoning damage.
- SAM: Whoa!
- LUIS: Good attack.
- LOU: What does he add to-
- TRAVIS: Smack!
- AABRIA (LAERRYN): It's a d8 plus 4, plus the spell's level of bludgeoning damage. Yeah, per slam attack, and it does two.
- BRENNAN: Magister Cormorant appears on the verge of casting Chain Lightning, and instead, you burn him half to death, and your construct punches his chest so hard that it breaks all of his ribs. Smashes his heart and organs into the wall behind him, and he is dead.
- SAM: That's it!?
- BRENNAN: That's all she wrote folks, 66 hit points.
