Nydas Stabbed

LOU (NYDAS): "Alessander, power up the Taxmen. They must defend the people! Badran, you must- you and the Harvest Moon will fight your way to the galleon. You will take the people you can with them. As many as you can, get on the ship safely and you will leave. You will leave and you will go far from this place, far from Vasselheim. It will be done!" I'm going to go about setting all this stuff up.
BRENNAN: You... You turn to walk. You hear Badran, as you are facing him say, "As you will, Guildmaster." So that he can wait for you to turn your back. And a sword plunges through your stomach from behind, as Badran, a pirate, pushes his sword through your torso.
"You've lost your mind. At the beginning of time, the gods made all the gold there ever will be. There will always be more people." And he pulls the sword out, dealing 24 points of damage to you.
[...]
LOU (NYDAS): I hold the concentration on-
BRENNAN: You hold. And 24 doesn't drop you?
LOU (NYDAS): 24 doesn't drop me, and I hold concentration on Sha'korzhan.
BRENNAN: Ooh! Okay, it is your turn.
LOU (NYDAS): Okay. I think I'm going to leave the sword inside. No, I have to step off.
TRAVIS: You're holding out like an asshole.
LOU (NYDAS): I will step off of that.
BRENNAN: Yeah.
LOU (NYDAS): Step off of the sword. I'm going to get off the sword. BRENNAN: Mm-hmm.
MARISHA: Holy shit!
LOU (NYDAS): Cool. I wheel around holding the space where I've been stabbed, looking at the blood as it pools in my hand. "Gold? Gold means nothing if you do not use it to lift people up. Gold is a resource by which mortaldom climbs! And if you cannot see that, then you have lost your way, Badran." I'm going to Quicken, I'm going to attack him with my sword.
[...]
LOU (NYDAS): Let's fight him like a pirate. I'm going to cast-
LUIS: Like a pirate.
LOU (NYDAS): I'm going to cast Quicken Spell Hold Person on him.... I'm going to fight him like a pirate. I'm going to cast Hold Person on him, Quicken Spell, wisdom saving throw 18.
BRENNAN: That is a natural 4 on the die.
LOU (NYDAS): I will now attack him. He is paralyzed. If I hit, they're automatically crits.
BRENNAN: Crits, yes.
LOU (NYDAS): And I also have advantage?
BRENNAN: That is correct.
LOU (NYDAS): Great. First one's going to be a dirty- It's going to be a 24 to hit.
BRENNAN: That's going to do it.
LOU (NYDAS): Great. Second one is going to be a 25 to hit. So one of these is 2d6, the other one is 2d6 plus 2d10. All right. That's all of them? Yeah, that's everything. Okay, great.
BRENNAN: Incredible. [...] 27 plus 18 is-
BRENNAN: Is 45?
LOU (NYDAS): 45, great. Those are my hits. Now, Shak's going to swing on him. Shak has three attacks, only one of them needs the advantage. Great, that's two. Oh, Badran, why'd you have to do me like this, dog? That is... What is that? Your spell attack modifier, So that's plus 10. So, does a 22 hit?
BRENNAN: Yes, it does.
LOU (NYDAS): Great, okay, so that's three more auto crits. Great. 16 plus... 16 plus 33-
LUIS: Damn.
BRENNAN: 16 plus 33 is another 49.
LOU (NYDAS): So, 45, 49, and then he'll also make a-
MARISHA: Kill this motherfucker outright.
LOU (NYDAS): -a breath weapon attack that's psychic. He fails the dexterity saving throw for another 9 points of damage.
BRENNAN: So, 45 plus 49?
LOU (NYDAS): Yes.
BRENNAN: Is 94.
LOU: Okay.
BRENNAN: Plus 9?
LOU (NYDAS): Plus 9.
BRENNAN: Badran's sitting pretty at 101 hit points. Lou Wilson, how do you want to do this?
LOU (NYDAS): I'll say that I hit him with the evil eye, a move I used to use back in my pirate days, of just like a squinting eye.
BRENNAN (BADRAN): [gasping and freezes in place]
LOU (NYDAS): Then I'm just going to ever so slowly place the blade exactly at his heart, and then just walk forward. "Badran, you are a pirate, and I respect you, but Avalir comes before any oath I made in a past life."
BRENNAN: "GAHH!" And he falls dead [thump]. Above you, Sha'korzhan, his head in gold above you, roars, and he-
LOU (NYDAS): Oh, can we say that at the end of that, Shak just-
BRENNAN: Bites his head off?
LOU (NYDAS): Yeah.
BRENNAN: You twist. A man stabbed you in the back, and you had the decency to stab him from the front, right through the fucking heart. You stand there bleeding, a full sword wound in your side. Not the first time you've been stabbed in the back, hopefully not the last, but who knows what the night holds.
