Magnus Speed 3

Travis: I have a complicated plan that I’m gonna do.

Griffin: Oh, Jesus.

Travis: It’s been awhile since I did a ridiculous maneuver, so here’s what I’m gonna do. First, step one: use waterskin on rope, soak rope. Step two-

Griffin: What are you- what is this quest for glory fuckin’ puzzle? What is this Kingsquest puzzle?

Travis: This is-

Justin: Put the rubber chicken on the pulley and then- [laughs]

Travis: Uh-huh. Step two: Tie rope to Chance Lance and grappling hook.

Griffin: Okay, okay I- oh man, you gotta, I need you to sympathise with me, Trav, this is so much stuff to take place in six seconds!

Travis: I’ve just been standing- no, I’ve been doing this since Merle and Taako and the dire bear and everybody have been doing everything. I’ve just been slowly, like, wetting the rope and tying the rope to the- I would say these are all simple actions, Griffin. And plus at this point, I get like four attacks. You could take like three of my attacks away.

Griffin: That’s fair. I’ll make you a deal, if you burn your one daily bonus action, actually I think you have two and you used one in the woods so if you use your other one for this I’ll say you can do all of this.

Travis: Alright, I’ll do that, ‘cause Taako used a level six spell and I wanna do something cool too.

Griffin: Alright.

Travis: So I’m gonna hook my grappling hook – since I’ve already used it in the woods I can’t fire it again – I’m just gonna hook it on a piece of metal and I’m gonna throw the chance lance at the electrified dire bear.

Griffin: Okay.

Travis: But first, first I’m gonna say “you’ve been a bad boy, and you’re grounded”.

Griffin: Oh, I see. Uh, okay, make an attack roll.

[Dice roll]

Travis: That is 18 plus 9, 27!

Griffin: So you basically attached this thing to some machinery, while it was wet, and okay, right?

Travis: Yep.

Griffin: You are tethering this thing with a wet rope to some machinery on the ground.

Travis: Correct.

Griffin: ‘Mmkay. Uh.

Justin: Do you imagine, sorry -

Griffin: Yeah, no, it’s wet and wild.

Justin: Do you imagine wet ropes are conductive?

Travis: More so than dry ropes.

[Justin & Clint burst into laughter]

Justin: Well, I’ll grant you that!

Travis: Thank you.

Griffin: Um, roll, um, roll damage.

Travis: Oh yeah, um let’s see -

Justin: I hope he just kills it. [starts laughing again] Nothing would make me happier!

Travis: Let’s see, that’s 1d8 [Dice roll] 3 plus 5, so that’s 8 damage.

Griffin: Okay, yeah, I like that it’s not very much because what this does is you see like straight up Benjamin Franklin flying a fuckin’ kite, you see this bear’s charge of electricity, uh, shoot down the rope and you actually narrowly avoid it as it travels down the rope and it hits this ring of machinery on the ground of this circular room. And simultaneously these interconnected machines shoot a shower of sparks up into the sky and it looks fuckin’ badass. And this bear, its wings, uh, they – they kinda burn off? – and there’s a horrible smell in the air and it comes crashing down into the ground but it lands on all fours and it roars at you menacingly. But you have grounded the electrified multiplying dire bear.

Travis: Okay, now I’m gonna use my second attack.

Griffin: ‘Kay.

Travis: To attack with, uhh, with the Railsplitter.

Griffin: Okay.
