- Welcome one and all
To the final episode
of "a crown of candy".
I'm your humble dungeon
master brennan lee mulligan.
With me as always our intrepid heroes.
Say hi, intrepid heroes.
- Hi intrepid heroes.
- Back where it all began, castle candy,
Sweet village of dulcington.
You are on your way to arrive here.
The ships of the dairy islanders
Given free passage to deliver
the duchess primsy coldbottle
To this council at castle candy,
Sail unmolested up the cola river.
Deep below decks, hidden soldiers.
The forces of the houses rocks,
jawbreaker, and frostwhip.
Sailors of house cheddar,
archers, irregulars.
On the way up the river,
you are stopped momentarily.
Really the first time
that you have been stopped
And coming aboard armored head to toe
Are the lost knight of
the order of north gumbia.
Your sworn brothers who have survived
And have been fighting in the south lands.
- Great to see you all.
- It's been bad.
- It's been, yes.
- It's been very bad.
The last couple months, i won't
lie have been hard to get through.
- We've had a rough couple weeks.
We had a good week in there somewhere,
But overall bad, overall bad time.
- A rough summer.
- The coronation
Was fun though.
- The coronation,
We had a good time.
- It was a good one, okay.
- Do i recognize these
As being any kind of officers
of clout or anything?
Or are these just
- No.
- Soldiers that are.
- Yeah, toby was k*lled,
But you basically, you're just like more,
You're gathering more forces
- Yeah, right.
- As you head up the river.
And these are members of
your sworn order of knights.
- Great.
Who, you know, were like, yeah,
The only good thing we heard
was that one of our order
Unhorsed the lady uvano in the tourney.
So that was huge.
- Oh great, yeah.
So i'm glad i give you
guys a moral victory.
She did later stab us in the back.
Quite literally stabbed me in the back.
So i was glad to get that in.
- God, we really need a win.
- We need a win.
- We really need a win.
- We do.
The ships are not far from castle candy.
Ruby, you are asked to come
to the quarters of amethar
And caramelinda aboard the ship.
As you enter, amethar,
you're there as well.
Caramelinda is asking you to be there.
Caramelinda looks up you and says,
My darling, could you
close the door behind you?
- Close the door?
- She deals you 79 points of damage.
- I mean, it does feel like that.
- It does feel like that.
- Caramelinda looks at
you and looks at amethar
And says, my darling daughter,
I am going to share something with you,
Because you have become, perhaps faster
Than i ever could have
hoped, a woman grown
And a person who,
A young woman who has no fear
Of making her bloody way in the world.
And i recognize that,
Even though what i want for
most of all is your safety.
However, the time of keeping you safe
By protecting you from
secrets is long past
And the time of sharing them
So that you may act upon them is here.
- Thank you.
- Captain annabelle has
shared with your father
That catherine ghee has
been dead many long years.
Catherine ghee passed away from illness
On the 12th day of harvest
dusk in the year 1196.
Your father and i were wed.
- Are married.
- We are married and you are true born.
- What, what, what does that mean?
- Amethars oldest daughter
is true born as well.
Saccharina is amethar's heir,
But amethar is still king.
And in the event that
anything were to happen
To your father, bulb
forbid, i would be queen.
- But, so we're gonna tell people, right?
- Oh.
- That pops is still the king?
- We going, we're gonna,
we're going wait for now,
Because it just doesn't feel like
That's a worry or worry
That's not where anyone's
head should be at right now.
Not today.
- If you say so.
- I say so.
- I don't know if she'll,
i don't trust her people.
- Well, that's another reason why
We're choosing when we're saying it,
Not just saying it.
We're just gonna, this is delicate.
- Right?
- Delicate.
- I won't, i won't tell anyone.
- Ruby, very few of us have spent any time
With saccharina, spoken
to her very rarely.
What is your opinion of the woman
Who now wears the crown
of candy on her head?
- I think she's dangerous.
- I would agree.
- Okay, that's.
- I think that she's
lacking in perspective.
I think that there are
people who follow the bulb,
Who are good people.
- Amethar, port syrup is in ruins.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I, i know, but.
We'll figure something out.
It just doesn't feel like this is
The conversation for today.
- Amethar, the delay of conversation
Has been perhaps your most cardinal sin.
- I think perhaps she can be good,
But i think that the people around her
Are irredeemably bad.
Perhaps without them
She would be making different decisions.
And the sacking of port syrup was not her,
But it was done in her name.
And she doesn't seem that bothered by it.
- The future of candia with
that woman atop the throne
Is a future written in flame.
Theobald has made no hesitation
In joining his loyalty to this new queen.
What do you think he would
make of your rightful claim,
Amethar, if you went to him with this?
- I mean theobald is a,
He's a knight of the royal family
And loyal to the king.
And i think that he would follow.
Do the thing that he's
supposed to do and be loyal.
- Then perhaps if you feel it is right,
He can be brought into the fold.
I agree with your father
That this is not the right time to speak.
Battles, especially ones
as dangerous as this one,
Where we are traveling so
lightly with so few forces
As to make our stride as
potentially successful as possible
Are incredibly dangerous.
- I will say this for sir theobald,
I believe that he's loyal to the crown
And whoever sits upon the crown.
I also do not think that he
is good at keeping secrets.
- That strikes me as very wise, ruby.
I hope above all else that we
are victorious over the forces
That have opposed our family.
And the reason that we will
keep this in the family
For right now, is that battles
Are chaotic and deadly things.
Lots can happen in a battle.
And there is always a potential
That certain problems can solve themselves
In the chaos and destruction of combat.
- Wait, you're talking about my daughter.
- I am talking about the future of candia
Or did you not hold what remained
Of sir morris brie in your arms?
If you can't talk to sir
theobald, that's fine, ruby.
I see the wisdom in that.
Then what i would say is this,
Listen to your heart.
You know and you have the
sight for the future to come.
If fortune is not on our side
Then we will have to
do what fortune cannot.
The boats sail up river.
What time are you guys planning on,
Like you guys should
confirm amongst yourself,
The sort of w*r council of
When were you planning
to arrive in dulcington
And how do you want to make your attack?
- I mean, i think darkness again.
- I think it would be at night.
- Right, yeah.
- I mean the whip,
But most of us can't see at night.
- We don't need to see until
we get inside the castle.
- Yeah, and they can't see us.
- Yeah.
- Showing up during the day
Also, maybe isn't super
helpful because every,
I feel like if we show up on the day
That everyone's there
- Um-Hmm.
- Or the evening everybody showing up,
Then we guarantee they're
there versus the day.
I don't know, they might
be able to get away easier.
- I agree.
- I feel like
We gotta do night.
- Yeah.
- There is one issue
with arriving at night,
Which is that primsy is
expected to attend the council.
- Then can they drop us
off upstream a little bit
In a place we can hide?
And then we make our way there at night.
- Yeah, so we can approach by foot.
- Yeah, you guys can
potentially approach by foot.
- Yeah.
- So they can send the
ships up there, right.
The ships also have
siege weaponry on them.
They have a couple of
trebuchets and a battering ram.
- So it's gonna be pretty, as
soon as we pull in basically,
It's like it's game on, right?
Like, is it obvious?
- You guys can toss the siege weaponry
If you don't want to use it,
But that's what they came prepared with.
So if they roll up with
those tools at your disposal,
It's game on the second you roll up.
- Should we, i mean, should
we just pull up in daylight
Ships come around the
front, we get dropped off.
- And i mean, are there
tunnels that we know about
That cruller wouldn't know about?
- Well, hey, how about this?
- We know about how it's gonna
- What if i cast rope trick,
And we all climb inside
And we bring the siege weapons up with us?
- Rope trick's not gonna be big.
You have hundreds of people.
You have full armies.
- I think it's like an approach at dawn.
- Yeah when we show up at dawn,
Bring the ships around,
ships maybe drop us off.
And we try to get up the secret tunnel
That i escaped through the first time.
And we get in though the tunnel.
- Can we just say, no
matter what, primsy ahead,
So that she can be
there and on the inside.
- Yeah, i don't think it's that surprising
To have siege weapons at a time of w*r.
- Yeah, potentially.
- I know.
- Setting them up will-
- Yeah, but maybe they're just,
How long does it take to set them up?
- A nice little chunk of time,
a nice little chunk of time.
- I was gonna say,
I know this is absolutely insane
And way too silly for this world,
But presumably they're bringing in
A bunch of stuff if they're
holding some sort of council.
- Okay.
- Can we sneak in
Via some sort of
- Barrel shenanigans?
- Supply boxes?
- I mean.
- Like trojan horses, is
what i'm trying to say.
That, you know.
- You guys are welcome to
plan any strategy you like.
Obviously your, you guys can
all sneak into the castle
And attempt to assassinate,
And do whatever else
you want to do in there.
There is also the fact that like,
And i will just share
the mechanics with you.
Your troops will benefit
from your leadership as well.
And there are are actions you
guys will be able to take,
Not only as characters using
your character abilities,
But also as commanders
commanding forces and units.
But do as you will.
- I have a target on my back.
Obviously there is news
that my assassination
Is desired by many people.
I am willing to be used as a pawn
If that helps in any way.
- And have primsy give you over?
- I don't.
I mean.
- I think they'll just walk
up and k*ll you immediately.
I don't think that there's much play.
- I hate to say it, but yeah,
The warrior in me is thinks
that we take the advantage
That is that they don't know we're coming
And we run up on em and
beat the sh*t out of him.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Maybe we can.
What is, what is this town called again?
- Dulcington.
- Dulcington.
- Dulcington.
Maybe if we can, maybe we can pull,
Why don't we pull into dulcington?
We pull into dulcington, whatever,
Whatever dock worker
Or whatever comes aboard, knock 'em out.
Make sure they don't say anything.
We quietly get into the city.
We stop the guards at whatever garrison
At the end of the bridge.
We try to basically take dulcington
Before the castle even knows about it.
- What way does the sun rise?
- That's south, sun rises in
the east, sunrise is over there.
- Then maybe we should
actually go at high noon,
Because the archers would be looking
Directly into the sun
And it would be very
difficult for them to see us.
- That's a good idea.
- Is that crazy?
- I like that, i think that's great.
You can also be a master of arrows.
- We have two masters of arrows.
- Thank you.
- That's dope.
- I think i've made it clear
that sort of rankings are,
A very intuitive thing here.
- Okay.
Okay, you guys are arriving.
We're gonna do maybe one of the most
Important rolls.
- Oh no.
- So we're getting there at noon?
- Middle of the day.
- Middle of the day.
- All right.
- I mean.
- It's like, the question
Is now, like, do we eat
lunch before or after?
- Right.
- Let the roll choose?
Are we gonna have like an 11 situation
Or like a 3:00 pm like late lunch?
- Okay.
So.
- Before we go into battle,
I do want to ask theo something.
- We are gonna run that.
I'm gonna run one thing
As you guys are sailing up the river.
- Okay.
- Murph, could you kindly roll
A d100 in the box of doom?
- Oh no.
- Thank god it's me.
I usually roll low, but hmm.
- That is a 60.
Hold on one second.
Great, normal weather.
Bright, clear day.
- Okay, cool
- Great.
- You guys are planning on arriving there
In the middle of the night,
Or at dawn or at high noon?
- The thing in about
high noon is i wonder,
Do we have an idea
Of if there'll be more
people around at noon?
- Oh, innocent bystanders.
- Potentially there'll be
more innocent people around.
- I think that we should
do it at night then.
- Or not night, either dawn or high noon.
- I will also mention
something about visibility,
Which is that broad daylight means archers
Will be at their most effective.
It also means that trebuchet
Will be at their most effective.
- Okay.
- So, and night
Will protect you guys on the
long march up to the castle,
But it will, you know,
will negate archers.
There will be.
So there's good and bad on either side,
Depending on when you wanna attack.
- I think either dawn or high noon.
- Yeah, i mean, we could,
If we could get to the gates of the castle
So that in the darkness, so that at dawn
The trebuchets can hit,
But we are too close to the
walls for the arches to hit.
- Yeah.
So go at night?
I like night.
- We sneak in.
I think no matter what we
sneak in at night, yeah.
- Because we're all
about closing distance.
- Yeah.
- Okay, yes.
- How much time would you like
To give yourself before sunrise?
- Like an hour.
- Two hours?
- May i suggest
Something else?
- Sure.
- Again, some of my suggestions
Are a bit out of the box right now,
But let's roll with it.
We could cast invisibility on cinnamon
And all of us riding on his back,
Descend from him like paratroopers.
- We wouldn't be able to bring
Our hundreds of troops that way though.
- Right, i keep forgetting
it's not just the six of us.
- Yeah, that's the part.
- That's like, yeah.
- I think cinnamon would be fine,
But we might make ourselves targets.
- Let's give ourselves
three hours before dawn.
- Three?
- Three.
- Yeah, three hours before dawn.
- The trebuchet.
- Yeah, because we can always,
Either everything goes to sh*t
And everybody knows
Where we are going.
- Something's going down here
There's a lot of new green
like occupation it feels like.
A lot of new green tents.
I feel like
It's just gonna be harder.
- These have been there.
- I know that, some of them
are new green things. I think.
- Okay, so let's say.
- Okay, just one more
Crazy suggestion.
If we were able to infiltrate these tents
And put on the.
- There's hundreds of us
And we don't look like...
- Right, i keep forgetting,
I have so many good ideas
for if it was just six of us.
Let's say if it's, what
time would sunrise be?
Like 6:00 am, 7:00 am?
- Yes.
- So 6:00 am if we're pulling in at.
- sh**t for 3:30.
- 3:30, let's say 3:30.
Great, great, get a good night's sleep.
- It's like getting to the airport.
- Guy's got a big day battle tomorrow.
I'm gonna split the lift with everybody.
- I'm just gonna stay up,
i'm just gonna stay up.
- Who here has experienced actual,
Whose character here has
actually experienced warfare
On this level before?
I think theo and amethar.
- b*ttlefield tactics.
- I think you should tell me.
We've mostly done
guerrilla warfare, right?
Guerrilla warfare.
So, this is new, yeah.
- I don't think i've
like commanded troops.
- Yeah, exactly.
- I've certainly commanded
a lot of street urchins.
Does that count?
- There you go.
You guys see the river
start to become familiar.
It is the dead of night
sailing in the quiet.
Saccharina, there's a knock on your door.
- Do i have like bodyguards outside?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Oh you hear gooey say,
your majesty it's swifty.
- Oh yes, come in.
- Swifty comes in.
He's picking his little gingerbread teeth
With his little knife.
Hi your majesty.
- Hi swifty.
Are you well quartered?
- Extremely well quartered.
- Good, good.
- Well, you will be really excited
To learn about what i heard.
- Oh.
- No, what?
Actually, before we do
any of this, i'm sorry.
I have to have counsel with you both.
What happened in port
syrup was disgusting.
I understand that cinnamon
is a powerful beast and,
But you'll notice that what i did
Was i limited who he was
able to use his force on.
I did not see any evidence
That there was any guidance given to him.
Do you understand how this makes me look
To these people who
I know will never accept me,
But at least maybe at this point
I can hope they won't hate me.
- Well, boss, i got bad news for you.
Your mom, katherine ghee,
- I know she passed.
- Right.
- Okay.
- She passed probably a
month after she sent you away
And maybe a more important
measurement of time
Is she passed away about five days
Before king amethar and
queen caramelinda were wed.
- How did you come by this information?
- Well, you put me on ruby's tail.
That's where i stayed.
- Ruby knows.
- Uh-Huh, it's funny,
Because she learned it yesterday.
I'm surprised she hasn't
mentioned it to you.
Seems kind of weird.
Feels like it would be important news
For you to learn that
you're not the queen really.
Maybe they wanna keep it
from you as a, i don't know,
Birthday surprise or maybe, maybe they,
Maybe they wanna wait for a better time.
Like when you're dead on the b*ttlefield,
Maybe from a ceresian arrow
Or maybe a different kind of arrow,
What do you think?
- Those fools.
If they had just been
straight forward with me,
Of course i would have used the throne
To destroy the church
And give thereby making amethar
no longer excommunicated
And give him back his crown
In one last desperate
plea for his attention.
But the clannishness and
myopic sympathy of royalty
Never fails to deliver.
- Those people were born in
that big, big, big house.
And they're never gonna
give a single flying f*ck
About anyone whose a*s
didn't sleep on feathers
And soft quilts every night.
Boss, i'm excited for the fight.
We gotta k*ll all those mother f*ck.
And when we're done,
All you gotta do is give me the word.
- I need to speak with theobald.
- Okay.
If you trust that ooey, gooey, gummy bear,
Then that's fine with me.
- All right, swifty,
Honestly, i don't even
fully 100% trust you.
- Why?
- I just got,
I've got a handful of people around me
And i am trying to figure out
Who i can trust and whose advice is right.
And you know, you're one of them,
But you, there are days,
What happened in port syrup,
Whether or not the rocks family
Will continue to reject and humiliate me
Has nothing to do with whether or not
What happened in port
syrup should have happened.
So you are still on my sh*t list for that.
- You see that he, he and
gooey look at each other.
They exchange a glance that
you don't quite understand
Or is just very silent between them.
Gooey says i'll get theobald.
Theobald, you are summoned by gooey.
- What's going on, gooey?
How's it going?
What's up?
- What's going on, what's the deal?
- Just w*r and stuff.
- Yeah, i know.
But like why does this
have to be weird, too?
- I come from a world where
it would be inappropriate.
I took certain, well amethar never made me
Take any kind of vows
of celibacy or anything,
But i sort of acknowledged them on.
- She grabs your junk.
- Oh.
- What do you think about that?
- I like it.
I would like to get slammed big style.
- She says good.
After we win, you'll get slammed down.
Big style.
Your queen wants you.
- Yes, walks with a pep in
his step towards saccharina.
And i enter your quarters.
- Theobald, as i prepare for battle,
I need your counsel.
In the previous battles i've
entered with the rocks family,
I've spent a great deal of my power,
Keeping them out of harm's way
And trying to help them.
- I cannot express to you
how much i relate to that.
- Going into this battle i find myself
Questioning if i should
hold the same priorities,
Knowing how little thanks there will be
On the other side and how
little it will change anything.
- Queen saccharina, i've
known amethar for a long time.
I've known ruby since she was a baby.
They are good people
Who would never,
They're not going to hurt you.
- Information has been revealed.
And i say this to you,
Because i believe that
wherever your allegiances lie
And i do feel that you
are faithful to my cause.
But even if you weren't,
I believe that your
honor would prevent you
From misusing this information.
Information has come to light
That my mothers death
Preceded amethar's
marriage to caramelinda,
Thus reinstating him as king.
The way that i found out this information
Is because amethar, and
ruby and caramelinda
Know and have known,
But have not saw fit to share
that information with me.
I don't know if this
is news to you or not.
- They didn't see fit to
share it with me either.
- I won't be sending
cinnamon on anymore trips
With gooey or swifty.
- What i told you,
I think theobald is just
like going through his head
Like what?
Just, i guess, can i do
like an insight check?
See like if i believe her or like what?
- Gimme an insight check.
- Can i give him a help action?
- Yeah, give him a help action.
- I want him to know
i'm telling the truth.
- Oh, that's a 17 right off the bat.
- Can i cast guidance so he can add to it?
- 17 add d4.
- Oh yeah, go for it.
- Yeah, 18.
- Theobald is in the worst possible thing
That could have happened to him.
Looking into the eyes of a
completely honest person.
Saccharina's done a lot of sh*t
And lying is not one of them.
You stand there as flummoxed
as a gummy bear can be.
And you remember standing
in lazuli's office,
As she said, my first command for you
Is to think for yourself and be curious.
- I say to saccharina, i
may have spoke too soon
About amethar.
I always thought he was reckless.
There were times when i resented him.
When i wished that i was
serving one of his sisters,
But i always knew deep down
That he loved his family
And that he would do the right thing.
But i know by the way
that he has treated you,
That he does not love his family.
You have my sword,
Whether or not you wear
the crown of candia.
- I cast, i cast what is it?
I cast ceremony.
It's a ritual and it's called dedication.
You touch one humanoid
Who wishes to be dedicated
to your god's service
For the next 24 hours
Whenever that target makes a saving throw,
It can roll a d4 and add the number rolled
To a saving throw, rolled to the save.
- You have never felt
more powerfully connected
To candia or its magic.
Let's go ahead and place
minis on the board.
- Jesus.
- You.
- Do we really have to fight other people?
- Didn't have to be this way.
- I'm gonna give you guys your minis
And you guys place them
wherever you see fit.
First and foremost,
You guys wanna go put
this in the cola river,
Down in the deep water
with its oars still out.
And this one has gone ahead and,
- And where is it?
- Oh, wherever you guys want it.
Whatever dock, whichever
part of the river,
You guys are placing your arms.
- Oh yeah.
- That one's not docked.
So that one goes
- We probably want to just be,
Oh, this one is not docked.
- Not docked yet, yeah.
This one is docked with
that side facing the harbor.
- Okay.
You guys have an opinion?
- You wanna do this one?
Or do we wanna be?
Cause i feel like here we can.
We don't have to cross any bridges.
- That's true.
- Yeah, it depends
If you're going into dulcington
Or you're going into the field.
- I say dulcington. You think dulcington?
- It's actually not a bad
idea to go into the field.
I don't know.
It depends on if we go out in there
And we just see a billion
tents or something.
- Oh.
- Right.
But even if there's a billion tents here
There's we still have to.
- Go ahead everyone
And make a group stealth check for me.
- Okay.
- Do you pass without trace or?
- Nat one.
- Nat one, okay.
- I got a 21.
- 21?
If you wanna cast pass
without trace you can.
- Nat 20.
- Nat 20?
- If you got a pass
without trace, i got a 24.
- I got a 12.
- 24, nat 20.
- I got a 21 without pass without trace.
- Nat one.
- 30.
- 30.
- 12.
- 12.
The captain of the peppermint
rangers, count of freezyberg,
Liam wilhelmina of the
house of jawbreaker,
Summons up the shadows of candia
And these ships approach
in the dead of night
With liam, like you're
able to like whisper out
Like the waterways of
the cola to these ships
So that they can row forward
in the dead of night,
Cloth wrapped around the
oars to slip silently
Into the cola again, and again, and again.
You arrive there,
Go ahead and place these trebuchets.
They would have for
yourself to have worked,
These would have to be pretty
much right near the ship.
- Okay.
- To have been
Made successful.
- So we don't want
To go to dulcington?
We definitely wanna go into this field?
- I think dulcington seems better.
- It would.
There's more cover there.
- I think dulcington seems better.
However i am.
- Oh yeah, sorry.
- I am far more experienced
in guerrilla warfare.
So i defer to those who know battle more.
- Do we have any insight
onto what would be?
- I think a open field
is really a bad idea.
- Make a b*ttlefield tactics check.
- Would that be any sort of.
- That's just raw intelligence.
- Oh, i gotta roll.
- Can i roll with advantage
Because i'm old and i've been in wars.
- I'll let the people that are old
And have been in wars roll with advantage.
- Oh, great.
- I say we knock on the door.
I rolled a nat one.
- Raw intelligence, i got a 14.
- I also got a 14.
- 14.
- 18.
- 18, cool.
- 12.
- Cool.
With, and the question
you're posing is what?
- Is, would it be better for
us to, i guess i feel like
It'll be easier for us to
Just like run out onto the open field,
But we'll be easier pickings
Versus in the town where there'll be
More guards right off the bat,
But we'll have places to hide.
What would be pre preferable for a,
Like the amount of troops we have?
- Um.
- But look at this.
What if we went all the way
Through those crags?
- Yeah.
- Well here's some
points that i will make.
If you're fighting in
daylight, which is your plan
You wanna fight at dawn, right?
Archers will get shots at you
The whole way coming up
through the field, right?
If you're filing through dulcington,
You'll at least have partial cover, right?
However, it'll be hard, you know,
It's less maneuverable in dulcington.
You'll be bottle-Necked
getting across bridges,
You know, x, y, z thing.
The trebuchet have a
range of, i think they,
Oop, that's a thing.
The trebuchet has a.
- Brennan breaks the entire set.
- No.
- Just like domino effect.
- Where are my siege things at?
- These are truly so much fun.
- Yeah, they are.
- Trebuchet has a range
of 300 feet short range
To 1200 feet long range.
So a trebuchets short range is,
Each of these is 25, so four is a hundred.
So a foot.
So this, it is firing without disadvantage
For a trebuchet, right?
- But they can sh**t with this vantage
From anywhere on this board, right?
- Yeah, wait, so what is that?
That's 1200.
- Yeah.
- So 1200 is 12 times four.
It's four feet.
It's like a crazy, yeah.
So they can fire from,
You can, you can park them on the,
You can put 'em in the field,
You can put 'em in the city,
You'd be able to hit.
There's also potential of splitting forces
Between those two places.
If you'd wanted to muster
more than one place.
- Why don't we do,
Although if we just do a
small force out in the field,
They're gonna get f*cked up.
- Yeah.
- They can't hit until
they're like right here,
But they can hit out here.
So i honestly can.
- Yeah.
Maybe we should just.
- Because then we would
Only be, i mean, i don't know
What's going to try to get us here.
- We could get kind of bottle-Necked.
- While we're going
through here, you're saying
We could get attacked?
- We could be also.
- Let we see if i have any
- Attacked by ceresians coming.
- Right, and that's the only bridge
Because this one is burnt down.
- Okay.
- Is it crazy to say
That while we went through
here, we could cast fog spell
Or something to give ourselves some cover?
- Fog doesn't move.
- Fog cloud doesn't move.
- Doesn't it have a range-
Oh it's only a 20 foot range.
- I think maybe we should.
I think maybe we should send
In some people through dulcington
And we should go in the field.
- Yeah.
- With a force.
But i'm open to whatever you guys think.
- If we're not with the troops
Then they don't get the
advantages of us leading them.
- We're coming at night, i feel
like we take the field, right?
- Yeah.
- It's not.
- We're coming in at night.
They can't see us.
- Yeah, if it was day
and like we were pushing.
- Yeah, why split up?
- Oh you're right.
- I say we go.
- Let's just go to the field.
I mean, we're trying to use
stealth the best we can.
- Yeah.
- We're not
Gonna be very stealthy.
Let's just.
- Okay, so go ahead and
place those trebuchets
At the edge of the river.
- Okay.
- I can't.
- There you go.
- I do have, i do have, if
we want to go through here.
So are we, so we're
placing it there, right?
And we're not gonna go
through there anymore?
- I don't think so.
- Okay, nevermind.
- I'm gonna start handing
you guys your troops.
- Sweet.
- And i'm gonna give you
your minis stuck to them,
But you don't have to
stay with the troops.
I just wanted to give them
and let sort of, you know,
Other commanders place
them wheresoever they wish.
Hold on one second.
- Is it windy at all?
- Yeah, what direction
is the wind coming from?
- It is.
Go ahead and give me a d100 roll.
- Okay.
Which one is that?
- Is that this?
- Yeah.
- And then the d10.
- What is that?
- 11.
11.
- Not very windy.
It's a calm fall day.
Okay.
- Does anyone have a
spell that makes wind,
Because i can control.
- Yeah, i can do gust of wind.
- Theo, this is your little mini
And the knights of north gumbia.
- Okay, if theo did gust of wind,
I can control, wait, i can control.
If it is windy, you can use
your bonus action each round
To choose the direction of that wind
In a 100 foot radius
sphere centered on you.
If he was like gust of winding me.
And then i could take that wind
And have like wind going away from us.
Maybe the archers would get disadvantage.
- Gust of wind is also self
and it's a 60 foot line.
So i could stand to the side
of within 60 feet up front
And maybe give them disadvantage
When we get close or something.
- Yeah, but i'm saying, i think i can,
I think because i control,
i can control the weather
That i can actually amplify
that is what i'm saying.
- I put cumulous here
Because i assume you're with cinnamon,
But this is saccharina's marauders
And the order of the spinning star.
- Whoa.
- I was actually gonna.
- Whoa.
- I was gonna say
To saccharina, should we tell cumulous
About what's going on?
- Yeah, yeah, i know.
- Here's the deal.
I don't wanna work in secret.
I'm not trying to do
anything against amethar
Or anyone else in the house rocks.
If they have some secret agenda,
They can try to spring it on us.
- I would like to tell cumulous,
Because i believe that people alongside me
May be a danger to me
And it would be nice to
have someone else know.
I know that we share a love of magic.
And so i trust him for that.
I do not know if,
I do not know if liam ever took to me,
So i will, he,
I will certainly lend
him my spells in battle,
But i don't know that he,
- I would imagine liam doesn't
know, but i don't know.
We can talk, start with cumulous.
- Okay.
- Does it make any sense for cumulous
And like these marauders
and order of the monks,
Like the less like
traditional soldier types
To go through the town?
- I was thinking that too.
I wanted to do that,
But then i thought my
- House of rocks with ruby.
- Everyone else, so i should stay.
- House of rocks with amethar.
- Cumulous could go.
- I almost kind of feel like
being on the ground though.
- My little wizard cloak!
Tiny little dwarves.
The wee free men...
- Kind of feel like
Being on the ground.
Like i, because i think i'm
technically i'm gonna be on.
- Go ahead and place those
units where you want them.
Okay.
- Cumulous, i think you should-
- Go through the town?
Like if we could get up to like,
If we could take one of
the parapets of the wall.
- Yeah.
- And like turn
One of the ballista against them, sure.
- Yeah, that makes sense to me.
- I like that.
- Yeah, cool.
- You want me to move you?
- You want me to place you?
- Yeah, we just go through the town.
- I love that.
- Liam, this is you
With a host of jawbreaker
archers, crossbowmen.
- Wow.
- Very cool.
- And then cumulous here with you
And then do you have your little cinnamon?
- I do have cinnamon.
I'm trying to figure out what to do with.
- That's how big cinnamon is now.
- I'm trying to figure out.
- If you were more centered,
You and your archers can come.
- He doesn't have to be here, but.
- That's what i'm wondering
if i should have cinnamon,
Like at call, like not here yet.
Just because he's so obvious
And we can call him once or in the throes.
- And this is saccharina here.
- I'm wondering if yeah,
Putting the archers sort of in the middle
They could maybe cover both sides
Depending on what the situation is.
- Let's do it.
Yeah, put me on to the right.
- Like this?
- We probably want the archers
Behind some armor.
- Yeah, sure, but like
more in the center of them.
- If we do this, how does that look?
- Put me as the archers.
- I mean, i mean over here, so like.
- Center, meaning between
us and zac's thing here.
So more archers kind of like
Where those purple ones are in the.
- Here's more jawbreaker infantry.
You guys place that where you want.
And then.
- So is there, if we do see
the carrot, it will be dinky?
- It would be very dinky.
- Okay.
- Ready for death?
Slice 'em up and chop him down.
- These are house rocks crossbowmen.
So those are ranged units.
- You wanna give 'em a
better shot than that?
- Do you wanna
- Through the walls?
- If we have these extra archers,
Do you wanna go over?
Do you wanna.
- I have to give you guys
Pass without trace, if we
were gonna use it at all.
- Right.
- What do you think?
I don't know, you can,
I feel like that doesn't work
for this many people maybe.
- Here's another jaw breaker infantry.
- It's not, do you have to be
within range of us to have.
- And this is cavalry for house rocks
And this is cavalry for house jaw breaker.
- Cool.
- Cavalry should be here.
- Yeah, the cavalry should
for sure be in the field,
I feel like.
- Okey-Dokey.
- Jesus.
- It makes sense.
If we have a lot of archers,
I feel like you could go with
these guys through the town.
- Just one more set of archers with us?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- I'm gonna take one of the house rocks.
- And we'll just try to
sneak through the town.
Get as close as we can to that far wall.
- Yeah.
- I mean,
You might wanna use your archers
Once you get over here
To start taking out some of their archers.
- You can place this by the trebuchet.
This is annabelle, manta ray
and some dairy islanders.
- Whoa.
- Cute.
- And then.
- And if we can take this building
And kind of use that
As a bit of a base.
- That's cover.
- You could use some stuff
over here too, i bet.
Something like this?
- Yeah.
I think i'm gonna try to get my game plan
Is to get as close as possible.
- This seems like a great
place for like ruby and liam
To be like sh**ting,
hide for cover, sh**t.
- Well, the church is
still too far away from me.
- And then this is joren,
who's with some of his,
- Oh great.
- Sir joren jawbreaker
Is there as well.
- Sweet.
- Okay, i'm gonna need
some group stealth checks.
- Am i do in the sky with cinnamon?
- You can be wherever you want
And cinnamon can be wherever you want.
- Can i talk to you guys
So i can figure out what
the right move is here.
Because a dragon in the
sky is not stealthy.
- No.
- No.
- I can cast invisibility on
cinnamon and be invisible.
However, i can't cast spells
from that invisibility.
- Why don't you cast
invisibility over yourself
And then fly over us.
And then when sh*t hits the fan
- Right.
- You bust out.
- Okay, that's what i was gonna say.
The thing i could do, because i can,
If you wanted to try that
gust thing to try to,
I mean, i have it centered around me.
I'm just saying like i could try to help,
Because i could try to affect the weather.
- Could you, cinnamon's, the
gusts from cinnamon's wings,
Could you use that as the wind?
- Ooh, can i?
- Fully turn around?
- No.
- Okay.
- If he had wing attack, yes.
But he does not.
- Do you think that, does he
have any like breath weapon?
Do we know of anything with cinnamon?
- Cinnamon, yes, has a breath
weapon and a lot of attacks.
He's very good.
- Is he, yeah.
What is, i don't even know.
- Could he destroy whatever
like heavy a*tillery they have?
- The other question is do you want me
To just stealth up and.
- Emily, if you would like.
- Oh my god, that's so many cards.
- Cute, so many cards.
- Oh my god, look at you.
Whoa, i will say,
I don't think any of our
stealth checks will go through.
Even if you make him invisible,
Because he's so loud, like right?
Won't that kind of blow us up.
- Battering ram, final thing to give.
- If you're invisible and you hold back,
He's so fast that as soon as you see.
- I mean, do you guys
want me to do the move?
- You are gonna make,
I'm gonna make you guys make self checks
Just to field this army,
if that makes sense.
So.
- I think so.
- I think so, right?
- I think we get as
close as we can quietly.
- And then
- Immediately light them up.
- And i'll cast invisibility on him.
Because what the hay, maybe it will help.
- Yeah, so you have liam's
magic here, which is incredible.
- Pass without trace.
- Passing without trace.
Obviously that's, we're bending the rules,
Because it's working on so many people,
But we're gonna do another
group stealth check.
And i'm gonna say to
muster all these forces
Is gonna take probably a
couple rounds at least.
So like you're setting up the trebuchet.
Go ahead and do you guys want
to still attack in light?
Correct, you're waiting
for the sun to rise?
- No, we want to get,
- No, we wanna try to get
To the castle.
- Then the sunrise.
- Yeah, gotcha.
Okay, cool.
So even with that plus 10,
I'm gonna need everybody
to make stealth checks
With disadvantage.
- Okay, can i then even it out with.
- Can i ask one question?
This is all filled with archers?
- You don't know, it's all dark.
The castle has some lights
in it, but it's mostly dark.
It's like pre dawn.
- Can i send, because
i have my dark vision.
Can i send yak up to go look?
- Yes you can.
- Do you think yak would alert them?
- He's a bird.
- Okay.
- You send yak up.
You see some guards.
It looks like dulcington has
been totally like bombed out
And no one's even thinking
to sort of protect anymore.
There are soldiers sleeping
in these tents here.
- Right.
- And they're the ones
You have to worry about.
So go ahead.
As you're like bringing the trebuchet out,
Give me a group stealth
check with disadvantage
And we gotta hit a dc20.
- If i make, if i make cinnamon
invisible can, will i get-
- You still run disadvantage
Because you have a whole army with you.
- Gotcha.
- All right.
- I go 21.
- 14 on my bad one.
- 35.
- Oh with.
- With pass without trace
And trying to.
- Oh, 18,
- 21.
- 18.
- 29.
- Half passes, that passes.
That's your first round.
I'm gonna make you do
just three more of these
To get into the position
you're in right now.
So gimme another set of
rolls with disadvantage.
- I'm gonna cast guidance on myself.
- Okay.
- 25.
- 30.
- 33.
- 34.
- That's great, gimme two more.
- Cast guidance on myself again
Or rather on a-
- Nat 20.
- Okay.
- On my,
- Oh no, its disadvantage.
I'm still fine.
- 26 even with disadvantage.
- 21 with disadvantage.
- 15.
- 19.
- 26.
- 33.
- Great.
Last one.
- Hey.
- 24.
- Yeah.
- 27.
- Candian shadows surrounds you.
Turns out if you're gonna fight a w*r,
Be on the side that has magic.
See you field to this position
as past that trace fades.
Just it was we've already
been using it very generously.
- Right.
- So from this position,
Give me another stealth
check with disadvantage.
- 11.
- I'm gonna guidance myself again.
- 16.
- Without pass without trace?
- Without pass without trace.
- Six.
- 10.
- I got a, oh i got a 28.
- Cool.
- Oh without passing without trace, 18.
- I'm gonna say that you guys
Move all of these units forward
By sort of like one movement,
if that makes sense.
So you guys can go ahead
and move these troops up
Into the field a little bit further.
And who, are you guys leaving
any troops with the trebuchet?
- I think annabelle.
- Annabelle and the dairy islanders, cool.
- Wait the trebuchet
aren't moving as well?
- These guys can move up.
- No. Okay.
- How far can i get, like past this, or...
- Just one little, about like one inch.
- Okay.
- And you guys begin to
hear horns and screaming
As some of the people in the tents
Begin to wake up and blow horns.
I need everybody hear to roll initiative.
- Sweet, i think we had
talked about telling cumulous.
I think i'm going to,
- You have my permission.
- Great and i'm gonna mention
something cryptic to liam
Without getting into it, i think.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- I just know that liam's an assassin
And if he is working
with the rocks people,
He's probably who they would.
- Cool, cool, sweet.
Yeah, i'll just send,
As like everybody's like
getting out of the ships,
Like right before we leave,
I think i just send you
a message, cumulous,
That there's just relaying,
Just like the simplest version of it.
That there's some questions
of who it would fall to
And that amethar and ruby are conspiring
Without talking to us.
- Can i do an insight check on theo?
I just see him messaging people
And spending a lot of time
- In a giant w*r?
- Saccharina?
- Yeah.
Go ahead and give me
one with disadvantage.
- Yeah.
12.
- You wanna go ahead
and gimme a deception.
I'll give you advantage on it.
- Can i give him guidance?
Sure.
- That's.
- Do that advantage.
- Nat 20.
- Nat 20.
- I trusted theo unto death,
and i would never believe
He would do anything against house rocks.
- Okay.
- He raised me and taught me.
- And i send the same thing.
I send the same thing to liam
or i send something to liam.
I just say liam, saccharina is in danger.
I'm not asking you to
do anything specific,
But just be on the lookout.
- I message back, like i will
definitely protect saccharina.
- Okay.
I'm gonna need everyone's initiative.
What'd they roll?
I'll start with liam.
- 23.
- Wow.
- Okay.
- 21.
- Saccharina?
- Seven.
- Ruby.
- 12.
- Amethar.
- 17.
- Cumulous.
- Seven.
- Okay.
As you guys can see before you here,
The village of dulcington,
You begin to hear horns and cries.
An army has fueled itself
outside of the castle
Without any warning.
Troops begin to muster.
People begin to take to the
castle walls and light torches.
This battle is going to
exist both on this scale.
And if we need to, we can
throw one of these bad boys
On the board and move back
to 28 millimeters scale.
All right, additionally,
You guys are one welcome
to engage in this battle
In whatever way you wish.
If you want to dip out from your unit
And this is just a big old board
And you're looking to
go assassinate somebody,
You can absolutely do that.
If you're looking to cast
spells, you'll be casting spells.
We have resized areas of effect
for spells at the new scale.
So we can do that.
If you, if you wish to fight
with your units on the macro,
You absolutely can do that as well.
You can use your action to give advantage
To your troop making its roll.
You can even use some of
your character abilities.
Like if you want to use
like a reckless attack
Or a cunning action, you
can extend that to your unit
If you're commanding them.
Units have, their health is
determined by their size.
If their size diminish is too much,
They have to start making morale checks.
- Okay.
- Or the unit will disband
And be scattered and maybe routed.
- Great.
- We begin with liam.
- I would like to,
If i hold my turn,
Do i still get all the
advantages of first turn?
- If we exit the first round then no.
- Okay, interesting, interesting.
- There's all these guys in tents
That i feel like would be
nice to get rid of them
Before they're behind us.
- I'm going to take aim and
fire at these archers in the.
- Wonderful.
- You have sharp sh**ter feat now.
Does that extend to your team?
- Yeah, you just said.
- I did just say that you can
extend your character ability
To your unit and they are
lighting torches for themselves
To be able to see.
So they're extending light from
the castle and are visible.
Okay.
Like a normal d&d character,
Units have movement and action.
So you can absolutely
take your action right now
And make an attack.
Which unit are you going
to make an attack on?
- My whole unit just
goes for one other unit?
- Yes.
- Or can i split it
Between these two towers?
- You cannot.
So you're not gonna get
multiple attacks with your unit.
You're just gonna make
one attack from your unit.
Because unit to unit combat
is a lot more simplified
Than two characters fighting.
- But what if i hopped out of my unit?
Then could i make my
three first round attacks
And try to take out everyone
on these top things?
- Yeah, if you decouple from your unit,
What will happen is
You will maybe get to
k*ll three of these guys
And your unit won't be
able to hit them at all.
Does that make sense?
Cause they're only able to hit
if you are coupled with them.
- Right, and what does my unit do?
What what's their damage?
Crossbow damage?
- Their damage is
calculated very differently.
They actually, units have the abilities,
So units don't have hit points in this.
They just have size.
And it's possible for your unit
To just full on inflict
a casualty on that unit.
- Of its whole unit?
- That different units
have different sizes.
So the infantry units are size eight,
Which effectively means
they have eight hit points.
The archers have six,
the cavalry have four.
And if you get to half health,
That's when you start
making morale checks,
Because half of your
numbers been k*lled, right?
So your unit could actually
inflict a casualty.
If you get above their
defense by 10 or more,
You inflict double casualties.
If you hit a nat 20, it's doubled again.
- Sweet.
- Very cool.
So if i'm going for these,
It looks like one single
archer in either of those.
Is that, am i seeing that right?
Or am i going for somebody else?
- No, you could.
So if you attack as a person,
You're attacking each of these
little guys individually.
If you're attacking them with your unit,
You're attacking all of
them with all of your guys.
- But those are individual guys.
So that's why i'm asking if that's cool.
- Yes, they are individual guys.
So, it's up to you to decide
If you would rather work your way through
All several dozen of these guys
Or if you want to help
your unit potentially.
- I feel like your unit
can do way more damage.
- I don't so.
- Than you on your own.
- Me on my own in my first
round can do a sh*t ton.
- Yes, but these don't
have a lot of hit points.
So, all of these guys will hit.
- I think i can do it.
- Than just you will hit.
- No, me with my unit, i can
only do it to one other unit,
But these are individual guys sniping.
- I think they're units.
- No they're units.
- No, no, no they're units.
- They're units.
This is a full unit here.
- No, i'm talking about those guys.
- Oh, these here?
- Singles, right?
- These are ballista.
Those are seige engines.
So those are huge crossbows.
- Oh, those aren't people.
- Those aren't people.
They're being manned by people,
But there's like a couple
of people manning each one.
- Got it, okay, cool.
Then i'll attack with
my unit and i'll go for.
- Vegetainian archers
running up onto the wall?
Awesome, go ahead and roll,
Oh, you are attacking them and wait,
This isn't assassinate.
This is surprise and assassination
Or rather, they are not surprised,
Because the alarm's been sounded,
But you do get advantage on this attack,
Because you're not at
disadvantage for long range
And you have the assassinate
And you're before they've acted.
So go ahead and roll 2d20.
- Cool.
Wait, do i add my own to this?
- You're adding their attack bonus.
Your crossbow archers, you're
adding plus four to this roll,
To the higher roll.
- Let's see that's 14 to hit.
- 14 to hit.
These archers defense is 13.
That is a success.
So you have inflicted a
casualty on those archers.
As you see the arrows fly from
liam's rangers into the dark.
You can also take a movement
action if you'd like,
Or you can delay a movement
for the troops up ahead of you
To move farther.
- I'll do that.
- Cool.
- That's going to be theo.
- Sweet.
I'm going to raise my blade, cast.
Oh wait, you know what?
I don't wanna cast anything,
Because i wanna take a full dash.
- Cool.
- So yeah,
I'm just gonna raise my sword.
For candia!
- And me and the unit
are charging forward.
- Hell yeah.
So that's gonna be two and a half.
You begin to sprint across the field.
You and your knights just
booking it across the field
As fast as you can.
That is your turn.
That's going to be,
I'm gonna make a muster check
to see if that unit musters.
They do.
Amethar, that's to you.
- Great.
- I do a similar thing to theo.
Just more guttural.
Ahh!
And i look back at joren
and i say, we're gonna the,
The tents on the left, that's us.
So we'll move toward here.
- Great, and your speed is 40.
- Yeah.
- Which is actually gonna,
Which means that you're taking,
Are you taking a double move?
You're gonna,
- Oh yeah, double move.
Cool.
So that means 80.
Each of these is 25.
Okay, awesome.
Amethar, you begin to rush up the hill.
This is difficult terrain though.
So you get about that far up
the hill as you start going.
And now it's the any house rocks units
That are not tied down by a commander.
So that's gonna be the
cavalry here can move.
Their speed is 60.
And then you have these archers,
these house rocks archers,
And the archers back there
behind the marauders.
- And.
- And the ram.
Those are jawbreaker.
Oh, they're jawbreaker.
- Who has the battering ram?
- I think it's just like
- Joren does, i guess.
Joren, either of you can have it.
It's technically house rocks,
But if you want joren to be doing it,
- It should probably be
whoever's not going in the tents.
- Yeah, maybe you should
give it to this cavalry.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Move it behind theo.
- Cool, battering ram is
not as fast as the cavalry.
Cool, so let me know where this unit.
- I guess i'm i would tie it to these.
- They're gonna, okay, they'll
be tied together, cool.
- Are there still people in these tents?
- Yes, they're mustering.
- Okay.
- Mustering, i see.
- So what is your question currently?
- Where you want these archers,
Those archers and these cavalry to move.
- I feel like they'll move up behind us.
- Yeah, makes sense.
- Great.
Awesome.
- Bring the battering ram
up behind me and my guys.
- Great.
- Could those other archers
Move with me?
- Yes they can.
They can tie to your turn.
Absolutely.
Great, archers begin to move
As fast as possible up the hill.
And the cavalry is not
going as fast as it can.
It's like staying sort
of side by side with you.
Okay, that's going to be
Another muster check.
Okay.
Hold on.
There.
Okay.
19.
- A vegetainian infantry
unit musters here,
Coming up, pouring outta their tents.
Roll for another one.
- What kind of unit does it look like?
Does it look like archers?
- It looks like, no,
that looks like infantry
And another vegetainian infantry.
They pour out of their tents.
That's going to, one second.
Another 2d20.
Vegetainian cavalry musters here.
And that's going to, that's gonna be it.
House cheddar is going to go.
They're gonna man those trebuchets
With any orders for
them to try to take down
A particular piece of wall.
- Mm.
- What, what do you,
Yeah, they can be going after whatever
You guys want 'em to go after.
- Like straight down, like just left.
- Is there any that we know
As people who grew up here, that's weaker?
- Oh, that's weaker.
- Yeah, any wall that's like,
Oh, we should probably have fixed it.
- Oh yeah, we probably
should have fixed that wall.
Actually, yeah, make a
history check for me.
- Seven.
- Seven.
- Well, the easy thing would be,
That the easy, yeah, for sure.
The easy thing would be
that if you go after walls,
You can get into the castle.
- Yeah.
- If you go after towers, you
can take those ballista out.
- Yeah, i think that's it.
- Oh, let's do that.
- Let's do ballista.
- Okey-Dokey.
- Especially for now.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- I'll go ahead and give
this fun roll to you guys.
Let's have whoever wants
to roll for house cheddar,
Make three attack rolls at disadvantage.
- Liam? Is house cheddar...
- Um-Hmm.
- Missed a good roll.
- Disadvantage.
- Yeah, so five plus whatever.
- What's the attack roll?
- Right now, the ballista
that you're trying to hit
Have an armor class of 15.
So you're trying to hit a 15.
- Oh and i don't have anything..
- You add plus five.
- Okay.
- Oh, okay.
So it's a 10, all right.
14 or sorry, 13.
- The stones fly off into the night.
Part of the gambit of attacking
at night is those trebuchet
Are gonna be less effective.
- They just smashed straight
into that army, right.
- Right into the army.
- Missed the ballista.
- Ruby, that's you.
- Okay, i mean, i am gonna go and attack
These vegetainian knights.
- Hell yeah.
- And you said
That we have the abilities
of, they have my abilities?
- You can make tactics checks
to extend your abilities.
The simple ones like cunning action
Just automatically translate over.
- Right, so what i would like to do
Is to attack them and then hide.
- Ooh, interesting.
- Cause that is a cunning action.
- That is cunning action, that's true.
I will go ahead and allow that.
So you move in to close
with this unit here.
Go ahead and,
Are you taking the hide action before
Or after you attack them?
- Oh, can i make it before?
- Yeah, you can make it before.
- Great, then i'll do that.
- Go ahead and gimme a stealth check.
- Is it my stealth?
- Your stealth.
- 21.
- Awesome, go ahead and
give me an attack roll.
- Great.
- With advantage,
Because you're attacking from hiding.
- Great.
- Yeah.
- Nat 20.
- Are you serious?
- Yeah.
Okay, wait.
I might have f*cked up.
Okay, so nat 20.
- I mean the other roll
that i got was a 17,
So i still would've hit pretty bad.
- I did. I, this is some house rules.
Oh no.
- The rules are you don't get to do that.
This unit, like most of
the infantry units here
Has a size of eight.
You inflict four casualties
in a single attack.
- Great.
- Your warriors, your house rocks warriors
You've been training with,
They are all like lightly
armored and disguised
And they're fighting on their home turf.
A lot of these soldiers you recognize
And know from growing up here.
They have masks tied around,
Have like, they have like
molasses on their weapons
So that they won't shine.
Like dark sticky, molasses.
And as these guys come
pouring outta their tents,
Soldiers of house rocks
whisper 'for candia'.
And just start slitting
throats in the night.
Immediately half of that force is gone.
- Wow.
- Yeah buddy.
- As you just close in on them.
- I'm feeling good.
- That's gonna be jawbreaker.
Joren is coming right
up behind amethar here.
These guys come right up.
I'll put the ram over here.
These come guys come up right
up behind rocks people here.
Liam, you've got your people
And his cavalry is going to,
Has a movement of 60,
which means that it can do,
Yeah, no sweat.
Moves in and i'm gonna ask
young count of freezyberg,
The jawbreaker, go ahead
and gimme an attack roll
For that calvary.
No advantage on this one.
- Oh okay.
- But calvary adds a plus eight to attack.
- Nice.
- Cool.
- Oh so close to a nat 20.
16.
- 16 hits.
That's exactly their armor class.
- Cool.
- So that's going to
inflict another casualty.
They have to roll morale or
suffer an additional casualty.
It's a dc15.
They have a plus two.
They succeed on their morale.
So they have five of their
eight hit points, basically.
They come stumbling out and
say "by the light of the bulb"-
Wha, what, wha, wha, what.
And this like these like
Candy ram riding northern
cavalry from candia
And the valley of dulcington
Begins to fill with the
shouts of candian soldiers.
- We're under attack.
That is ruby.
That's jawbreaker.
Okay.
Let's make some muster checks.
Grissini and imperial forces
muster at the top of the hill.
- Ha ha.
- Ooh, brother.
Oh my god, none of them muster.
- Okay.
- More ceresian knights
muster at the top of the hill.
Constano's gonna use an extra action
To immediately ready his troops
And brace for an as*ault
Moving into position right here.
You hear constano yelling
out, we're under attack.
The witch queen, her forces are here
And that's going to be, bod-A-Boom.
That's going to be cumulous.
- Cumulous and those
marauders and archers,
I guess will take a full
dash action forward.
- Cool.
- And yeah, that's all we'll do for now.
- How far can they get?
- I have 50 movement.
- Cool, 50 movement
means that you actually
Just move two inches in a single movement.
Are you doing a full move?
- Yes, i think so.
- Damn, okay.
- Hell yeah.
- Jesus.
- And then.
- And these guys can only
make it about halfway.
- Okay.
- The archers behind you, i mean.
You're lightly armored marauders
And the monks of the spinning star
Sprint through the
shattered town of dulcington
Over the,
- Can i, yeah sorry.
- Over the ash and rubble.
Go for it, what is it?
- Can i make a insight check
Or just i'm i'm worried
about this direction,
Because i know that's
where the ceresians are.
- Yes, for sure.
- Could i just roll?
- Yeah, roll.
- That's only a 16.
- I mean, you're doing
your plan, you know,
You're doing what you're doing.
You continue.
No step of the wind?
- I was thinking of it.
That would, would that
apply to both or no?
- That would apply to, i
would apply that to your unit.
- I don't wanna get too far ahead.
That's my worry.
So i might wait.
- No worries.
That's cumulous. Saccharina.
- Okay.
I guess i wanna do,
What is cinnamon's speed
And what would that
translate to on this map
And where am i starting?
I'd love to just do a fly by starting in,
What ideally what i'd
like to do is a fly by.
- Cool.
Go ahead.
Where were you positioned
kind of before this started?
- I think i didn't have it
Because i didn't know where we were going.
- Yeah, that makes sense.
I think once, yeah, you've
been just like been circling
And as you hear stuff,
His speed is 80,
Which means that if he's taking an attack,
So 80 is gonna be,
That's 50, that's 75.
So this is about 80.
That's his speed.
If you, he he's doing a double move
He can go twice that far.
- He's doing a double move.
- Double move means he couldn't attack.
- Yeah, i know.
Okay, then i think we're
not gonna do the fly by,
Because we can't do the fly by.
Okay.
Give me one second.
- No worries.
- Then i think we're just,
I think we're gonna fly in here.
What i wanna do is i want to, yeah,
It's gonna put him in harm's way, but.
- The ballista you know.
- Oh, you're right.
Oh, i have to keep him away from that.
- You're still invisible though, right?
Are you invisible?
- It won't be
Once she attacks.
- No.
- Well, i could keep him invisible.
- I mean, you got these guys down here.
- You got, we know those
are ceresian tents.
You know, those are.
- Don't those have like that,
That would have the, wouldn't
that have the range to,
It probably has the,
- They have the range
For all of us, yeah.
- Yeah.
- But.
- There's no safe spot
On the board. - The dragon is
always, is gonna get attacked.
- But the ballista will do way
more damage than the archers.
- You could just go attack a ballista
And at least take out one
So you don't get attacked by four.
- Yeah.
- Additionally,
Some of these ballista, the
ballista in the higher towers
Would give you partial cover
from the other ballista.
Like if you landed in
this one and had cinnamon,
Like crouch underneath the parapet,
Like destroy the ballista
and crouch underneath it,
You would, at least you
wouldn't be fully protected,
But you would have some protection.
- Yeah, take out the ballista.
- That sounds really good.
So what i'd like to do.
- I mean, i would do it
On that side since we have
All of our troops coming up there, but.
- If you burn a slot for invisibility,
I'll let you start anywhere on the board.
- Okay, yeah, i did.
I actually already took off this.
- So you're just an
invisible monster flying
Through the f*cking sky.
- Okay, if that's the a
case then i would like to,
I would like to start back here.
- Okay.
- Close enough.
Is that, i wanna start,
Here's what i wanna do is
i wanna start close enough
That i can cone of cold them,
Then have the dragon breathe fire,
Then land in the little.
- The scale is not gonna be,
Is not gonna be possible to do that.
Because even as fast as
cinnamon is, that's 80 feet
Right there.
- Yeah, yeah.
Sorry, i'm just trying to.
- No worries.
- Oh, just so you know, it's
not landing in here for cover
There's a ballista in there
that you need to destroy
To be able to land in either of those.
So you have to attack.
- You know what?
We might as well just find out
What these ballistas feel like.
- Yeah, if you go up in that
tower and you destroy one,
They're not all gonna be able to hit you
So you can just take 'em out one by one.
- Yeah, but i think that i
just am gonna maybe find out.
- They hurt like 40.
- They hurt like 40?
- Remember cumulous got hit by one.
And i had like deflect arrows and temp hp.
And it took like, i had like
20 something health afterwards.
- Okay, then i guess i'm going to just,
Okay, here's what i wanna do.
I would like to fly up there.
Lightning, i'd like to cast lightning lure
On the person manning the ballista.
- Awesome, okay.
- Because that'll draw them
10 feet towards me.
- Okay, great.
- Okay, however, oh yeah.
So he has to succeed a strength save.
- On a natural three, he does not succeed.
- Okay, so i pull him out of the.
- Invisibly, this
lightning whips through him
And he has pulled off of the ballista.
- And then i would like to,
And then from there.
- And just so you know,
There is a crew of people
working the ballista.
So the ballista has like,
So you have a effectively that
ballista can't fire on you.
- Okay.
- This turn.
But there's other people up there.
- Okay.
- I would almost,
You could take out all of 'em
With like fire and stuff
And like stop that ballista from working.
- But i feel like i could do better.
Like my fire.
Okay, my fire breath needs to recharge.
So i wanna use my fire
breath on the most people.
- Just attack some dudes with your
- Lightning or something.
- Or just have them claw people.
- Yeah.
I want him to do a little fire breath.
- Oh, okay.
- Okay, so i do lightning lure.
He's out of the tower
and then that i'll set up
And then i'll have him.
Sorry, it's like hard for
me to reach over there.
- I know for sure, i gotcha.
- You're good.
- And then, you know what, f*ck it.
We're just gonna land and do,
I really just need to do something
Like that takes out a bunch of people.
Okay, no, you know what?
Well, let's be, i'm gonna be safe.
I'm gonna be safe.
So once we land in there then,
Then my dragon's gonna attack.
- Okay, so.
- No longer being invisible.
- Cool, gotcha.
Cool, cool, cool.
No longer invisible.
Are you going to claw attacks,
Claw and bite to the ballista?
Or are you going to.
- I'm going to,
First, he's gonna, he has three attacks.
- Cool.
- One with its bite,
Two with its claw.
So he's gonna bite the ballista.
- Go ahead, roll for it.
- Let's see what that does.
15.
- Fifteen, let me double check.
15 hits, exactly.
- Okay.
So the ballista takes,
It takes 16 damage plus 1d6 fire,
16 damage and then five fire damage.
Is the ballista on fire now?
- It starts to catch on fire.
Yes.
It's looking, it's 21
points of damage has done
A significant amount to it.
It's not, but it's still operational.
- Then i'm gonna look down.
Then i think that we
should fly a little further
And land and i'm gonna cone of cold.
This whole infantry.
- I'm gonna warn you
Right now, if he's not
hiding in that tower,
All the ballistas will
have open shots on him.
- Okay, he's gonna hide in the tower.
Okay, then in that case
i will quicken spell
To cast haste on the dragon.
- Okay, awesome, great.
Hell, yeah.
- And that's our turn.
- Did he only gets one attack?
- Oh right, he has claw attacks.
- Yeah.
- Oh you're f*cking right.
- Roll some claw attacks.
- Yeah, is there
Other people in there?
- The ballistas still operational.
- Yeah.
- There's a whole crew
Manning a ballista.
- Sorry guys.
I just got confused.
- No worries.
I threw a whole different
kind of game at you guys.
- I know, okay.
Does a 18 hit?
- Yes it does.
- All right, baby.
2d6, plus six slashing damage.
- Yeah, then there's a
couple dudes up there.
- So 13 damage.
- Okay, you've done 21 and 13.
That's 34.
This thing is looking on death's door.
- Okay, one more time baby.
And does a 20 hit?
- Yes it does.
- It's gonna be 13 more damage.
- Cinnamon is rending this thing asunder.
The ballistas destroyed.
There are still some living people here
That might swing swords at the dragon.
- Okay.
- That might happen, but.
- Okay, so, and then i do
still cast haste on him.
Because we can just fly around
And dismantle these ballistas.
- Cool.
- Rad, okay.
That is saccharina and cinnamon.
That's gonna be an entire unit
of archers is gonna take aim.
Because these archers are down here.
They can't see too much
in the field below.
So what they gonna do?
Take a shot with disadvantage, no.
f*ck that, they're not gonna do that.
They're gonna sh**t for the dragon.
Disadvantage.
- Yeah, because they have disadvantage
Because he has haste.
- I just rolled two nat ones.
- So they sh**t themselves.
- They see a dragon.
- They sh**t themselves.
- Yeah, ruby had a,
Ruby had to sh**t herself once.
- Yeah, once.
- Yeah.
- I was gonna wait for
more dramatic moment,
But given i just rolled two nat ones,
I just wanna show you guys
what they're all seeing.
And i'll put a little platform out there
So we can see it at the right scale.
So let's zoom in to the finer scale.
This is what they're all seeing.
- Oh my goodness.
- Oh he has a little chair,
A little cinnamon ba*ls.
- That is a flaming
hot dragon right there.
- That's so good.
- Look at that.
- That spicy dragon.
- He's going
After your ballistas, b*tch.
- Hide your ballistas.
- Incredible, okay.
- Oh and he also now has
plus two bonus to ac.
- Awesome.
- He has 20 ac now.
- He's 20 ac, gotcha.
Awesome, okay.
That entire unit fires,
Which would've done a truly
insane amount of damage.
If they hadn't rolled two nat ones.
That's, and this person's
gonna disengage from this unit
And run downstairs.
- Oh who's that?
- Anyone can make a perception check.
Actually only saccharina really
Can make a perception check over here.
- Who is that coward?
Oh, well.
- Can you get help
From cinnamon?
Can i get help from cinnamon?
- Sure.
- Okay.
Who is this coward?
That is a 24.
- A sort of grape looking
lady with green hair,
Holding a bow and lightly
armored, rushes down the steps.
You don't recognize her.
- Means nothing to me.
- It means nothing to you.
- That's cool.
- Cumulous.
- Oh sh*t.
- Roaring out of their encampment,
A group of meat lander mercenaries,
- What?
- Musters and charges
In the same round.
- Who are they with?
- They're mercenaries.
- Yeah.
- What's that?
- They're mercenaries, yeah.
And a bunch of hot dogs are attacking.
- Jawbone, my lover from the
meat lands, isn't there right?
- What's that?
- Jawbone, my lover from
the meat lands isn't there?
- Yes, exactly.
- Who are these meat landers led by?
- Some rogue it looks like, maybe.
- Or is it that t-Bone?
- No.
She's not a, she was a
leader of the meat land.
- Yeah.
- Eight plus eight is 16,
Which is definitely going to hit.
Hold on.
- 16?
- Your unit doesn't use your
- Armor class.
- Armor class, no.
Okay.
They successfully hit, defense is 14.
So your unit has a
casualty inflicted on it.
Your size is six.
So one of your six hit
points has been taken.
In addition to that, you, when
you're coupled with a unit,
You take a little bit of damage.
When that unit suffers casualties.
Cumulous takes eight points of damage.
- Could i, i mean, i never
said this in the role playing,
But i have been doing it.
Could he have temp hp
from k*lling a chicken?
- Yes.
- Okay.
- Yes he can.
- Why is it always chickens?
- I f*cking love it.
Okay, that, and then i'm
gonna roll for these two.
The dogs do not inflict any
casualties on your unit,
But you see that this giant morning star
Wielding meat lander
with a huge lobster claw
As his other hand runs
out and goes,
And just starts slugging
it out with you guys
In the middle of dulcington
in the pre morning light.
It looks like dulcington
Maybe actually was evacuated
And that all these places
Are just filled up with mercenaries here.
- Even the lingerie shop?
- Even the lingerie shop, of all things.
Of all pure things left in dulcington.
- That's grave.
- Oh, i was gonna move
when the calvary moved.
- Oh, that's right, you were, yes.
- I have a cunning action and
i have, so i have 80 movement.
Can i move as close to gumbar as i can?
- Yeah, absolutely.
But so you're using cunning
action, which means,
But you use your action to attack.
- Well i thought that was bonus action.
- Oh, cool.
Cool so bonus action, yeah, great.
So bonus action.
- So i had plus 10
On my first move from dreading.
- Gotcha.
- So that's 80.
- Cool.
Yeah, you can get all the
way right up behind theo.
And these guys, bam.
You hear these like fast
sprinting rangers behind you
From the great stone candy mountains
As you guys are sprinting
through the night.
Hell yeah.
I'm gonna roll a bunch of
these in a row real quick.
That's, who can f*cking hit you?
Ballista range is 120, which is gonna be.
Okay, oh sh*t.
And four times that is, okay.
So those two can't even hit,
But the other four are
at least within range.
That's a miss.
That's a miss.
Would've been a hit, but for haste.
- Nice.
- Yeah, baby.
- You see the ballista all
facing out into the night
To like tear your troops
apart instead scream.
You hear some vegetainian scream, dragon!
- It's actually cinnamon.
- Whoa.
I've been waiting to play an npc
That just gets to scream dragon
For i can't tell you how long.
Cool, now that's going to be bu-Bum.
Okay, awesome.
Back to the top of the order.
Liam that's you.
- All right.
So with my infantry i make
one attack and that's it.
- Yes, you can decouple.
If you want to go rogue
And just be a little assassin out there
Or you can try to take some
of these units off the board
And you know yeah, make
attacks with your unit.
- Okay.
- Your extending
Your like dark vision and your range list,
Your like lack of disadvantage
at long range to your unit
When you're coupled with them.
- Okay, cool.
Can i do kind of the
same thing that ruby did
Where i use my uncanny?
I'll do uncanny hide and
then attack with advantage.
- Oh sh*t, yeah.
You go ahead.
Gimme a stealth check.
You're just trying to beat a 16.
- Oh sure.
- Hide behind
The big gummy bears.
- 24.
- Yeah, hell yeah.
- 25.
You're hiding behind the gummy bears.
- Yeah.
- The peppermint rangers
And gummy bears.
This candy warriors taking
their f*cking home back.
Go ahead and roll with advantage.
And who are you trying to attack?
- I think i'm gonna go
for these ceresians.
- For grissini up on the
top of the hill, hell yeah.
- Ayy yeah, definitely.
18 plus whatever.
I'm what am i adding to them for my group.
- I believe, and i'll actually, yeah.
I'll give you a little index card
To write your unit's sh*t down on.
- Plus four.
- Yeah.
Your unit as is plus four to attack.
So that's 22, correct?
- Yeah.
- Okay, awesome.
Yeah, you inflict a casualty.
You hear grissini go "men, form up!"
And shields come up in front of them.
You hear the cracking
of bread and crackers
As peppermint arrows thud into them.
That's your unit.
- And then can i hold
My movement for when gumbar goes?
- Yeah, you can stay lockstep
behind theo for sure.
Cool, and speaking of
which theo, that's you man.
Sweet, i think i'm gonna start going this,
Like to meet these guys
so we don't get closed in.
- Cool.
- And i figured these guys
Got this, so me and liam
with liam's permission,
We'll start going this way.
- Cool, and you're doing just full dash?
- Yeah, because i can't really
Attack anybody this turn, right?
- For sure, it makes sense.
- Yeah.
- So you're gonna go, and
move all the way here.
Just like sprinting across the field.
- Yep.
- Fast you can.
You got liam right behind you locked in.
Hell, yeah.
There this, the glorious charge
Of the knights of north gumbia.
You just hear this thunderous
boom, boom, boom, boom.
As all these gummy bears
charge across the field.
That's going to be,
This unit is going to scooch over here,
Away from the dragon.
- Cowards!
- You see, these are cruller's men.
- Yes, cowards.
- These guys are gonna take some shot-
Actually no, you have complete cover
from the guys right down there.
These guys are actually gonna
flee and rush down here.
These guys are going to fire
At the knights of north
gumbia with disadvantage.
Complete miss, ping, ping.
You can feel cruller, like
little roll donut arrows
From house cruller
pinging off of your armor.
- Oh that stupid donut.
- And that's going to be amethar.
- Great, my guys will
continue to move up the hill
As much as we can.
And how much movement does the,
Yeah and can we like start
to swing around here?
- Yes, you can make it to right here.
- Great, perfect.
- Great.
- And then can i, the calvary
don't act on my turn yet.
- Now they do, yeah.
Rocks, any, any uncoupled rocks units-
- How much can they,
how fast can they move?
- They have a speed of
60 so they can clear 120.
- Can they back up the
knights of north gumbia?
- Yes, they can.
- Great.
Send them to do that.
And that if my,
If these archers take
just a movement action,
Can they get within
range of the ceresians?
- They'll be firing
uphill with disadvantage,
But yes they can.
- I'll tell 'em to take the shot anyway.
- All right, these guys
move right here behind you.
Go ahead and give me a
roll with disadvantage.
You're trying to beat an ac of 16.
You're adding plus four.
- Nat one.
- Okay.
- They fire off into the dark.
Then that's going, oh that's amethar.
Any other house rocks that are uncoupled?
Oh just these ones.
- These archers right here.
- So they're gonna move forward
And they're gonna fire
on those meat landers.
The meat landers.
No, they have torches lit,
Because they can't fight in the dark.
So go ahead and i'm gonna say cumulous,
Give me an attack roll
For those archers on the meat landers.
- Just a regular attack roll?
- Yep.
You're gonna add plus four.
- 13.
- 13,
Does that hit the barbarians?
It does not hit the barbarians.
No casualties inflicted as they fire.
These meat landers mean f*cking business.
Infantry, cavalry, irregulars.
That's going to be, vegetainia.
Cavalry musters right here.
And we're gonna go,
swing around on the road
To face the knights of north gumbia.
That's gonna be 50, 60
right around there, 120.
Comes thundering down the hill to attack.
You see sir keradin deeproot emerge
With heavily armored vegetainian knights
Through the front gate.
And these vegetainian archers
Are also going to fire on
the knights of north gumbia
Disadvantage as you
charge through the dark.
Miss, once again, heavily
armored knights of north gumbia.
Ping, ting, ping, ping, ting.
That's going to be cheddar.
Go ahead and let's get
some attack rolls on these,
- Yeah, someone else.
- Are you going for again?
You're going for ballistas, right?
- Yeah, what do we need?
- For ballistas you need ac 15.
You're adding for the trebuchet.
- Plus five, right?
- Plus five.
Is it still the behind.
- Is it still behind as well?
- Still disadvantage, yep.
- Is there a ballista
On the one behind then?
- Yes, there is.
- There is, okay.
- 16.
- 16, oh, hell yeah.
Go ahead and roll 8d10.
- Yeah.
- Whoa.
- Can i get d10s?
- Um-Hmm.
- I have five, six, seven.
- Eight, nine.
- Nine or eight?
- Here we go.
- If you want
- Nine or eight?
- Eight, 8d10.
- Oh, thank you.
- Take one of those, thank you.
Oh, nine, 10, 19, 26,
And then a 10, 36
Plus another 10, 46, plus 349.
- Which one do you want? Go on.
- I would say, i would say i might be able
To get to that one, so
maybe don't do that one.
- Let's go further then,
can we hit this one?
- This one right here?
Yes.
- Yeah.
- Oh yeah.
- Yes you're guys.
You guys are all sprinting
across the fields.
Fields that not too long ago,
You were running in bloody chaos from.
You hear whoosh and you can
feel a reign of cheese crumbs
Falling on you overhead as a
20 foot wide cheese boulder.
Boom, takes the top of
one of the towers out.
- You've got two more of those rolls.
- Yeah, go two more.
- That's gonna be 15.
- That's a hit.
Go ahead and roll 8d10.
- Great.
Let me do the thing that 19, 19 plus 14.
It's 35, 30, 35 plus another 9.
- 44.
- Plus seven.
- Is that 51?
- Yeah.
- Pick another one.
Which one's going?
- Saccharina, which one's you?
This, i'm hoping that one.
- There's one here too.
- Great we'll take this one.
- Boom!
You hear screams from within the castle.
- Last one.
- Oh.
- Seven plus five is 12.
- Yep.
- Dang, nice roll.
You hear from behind,
At least you hear someone be like,
Let's get amethar his home back, shall we?
No one likes a rude guest.
And the dairy islanders cheer.
That's going to be ruby.
- I mean, it worked so well last time.
How can i not?
I'm gonna try and hide again
And then hit these vegetainian knights.
- Uh gimme a stealth check.
You're just trying to beat a 16.
- 16.
- Well, there you go.
All right, go ahead and
roll with advantage.
- Oh f*ck.
It's plus five.
- Plus four.
- Yeah, i got an eight.
I rolled two fours.
- No worries.
You slaughter them and then they're awake
And know what's happening
and shields go up.
Ping, ting, clang, clang, clang.
And actually i already muster
these extra chains over here.
These ones are gonna swing
around as well to face you.
They're gonna go ahead and attack.
- Oh, did they?
- 18 plus.
- Her cavalry
Needs to go after this, i think.
- Yeah, i think we missed a calvary.
- Which one?
- The one that's after
the vegetainian knights.
Or these guys.
- Whatever this is.
- Jawbreaker has not gone.
- Oh that's jawbreaker, got it.
- Uncanny dodge.
- Hell yes.
Okay, uncanny dodge, i'm
gonna apply that to your,
Your unit takes a a half casualty.
- Great.
- But you're gonna
Take half of this.
- Okay.
- Which is eight, six, 14, 17.
You take eight points of damage.
Just from the chaos of w*r.
As you're, you know,
sliding and putting arrows
Inside of these guys as fast as you can.
That is going to be jawbreaker.
Now these guys are gonna
take another swipe at it.
Someone gimme an attack
from jawbreaker's cavalry
On the back of these vegetainians.
- I'll do it.
- Go for it.
You're there with them, yeah.
Roll with advantage, they're flanking.
- Great.
- 17, do they have a, oh, they have a plus
- They have a plus eight.
- Nice.
- Oh great, then 21.
- That is another casualty.
They're gonna roll a morale check
To see if they suffer more casualties.
And that is going to be a,
That's a failure.
You see they're just being slaughtered.
They've stumbled outta their tents.
They were the closest to the river
And it's gonna be over for them
pretty much before it began.
There's just dregs left.
That is going to, that's
jawbreaker's cavalry.
He comes surging the rest of
the way up behind amethar.
More infantry fallen behind
these house rocks archers.
And i believe that's all
the jawbreaker forces
That are out there right now.
Moving on from jawbreaker.
Okay.
Bum, bu, bum.
Okay.
Jawbreaker moves here.
Grissini starts marching towards you.
And again, has his guys square up.
Gives them a dodge action.
So everyone's gonna have
disadvantage attacking them.
That's going to be cumulous.
- Okay.
Cumulous is just going to attack
the dudes in front of him.
Just a regular attack.
- Awesome, yeah, go for it.
And you're just adding a,
- With this.
- You're adding plus eight to this.
- Okay.
For the team?
- For the team, yeah.
- Okay.
- And you can use powers
That you have to bolster
them if you want to.
- Plus eight, 22.
- 22, you inflict a casualty.
- Okay, and i'm going to stunning strike.
Can i apply that?
- I will let you apply that.
- Okay.
- I'm gonna go ahead
And let me just roll this real quick.
Hold on a second.
- It's a compensate it.
- Plus four.
That is a natural two.
Your marauders, just you like
these meat landers are tough.
They f*cked you up at the beginning,
But you watch as suddenly
half of the soldiers
In your marauders group,
Teleport and misty step
into the middle of them,
Stabs come out and all these
magical weapons come out
As the frostwhip marauders
And the order of the spinning star,
Go to work on these meat landers.
- So that i, because i'm
attacking with the group,
I don't get another attack, is that right?
- If you burn key points
to do a flurry of blows,
I'll let you do that.
- Yeah.
So extra attack does not apply.
- Sure.
- But if you wanna
Spend resources on it, you can.
- I'm trying to decide if i should dodge.
You know, if they're still
stunned for the turn?
- Yeah.
- Okay, so then technically the archers
Will get them while
they're stunned as well.
- And get advantage, yeah.
- Okay then, yeah,
I'm just gonna attack 'em again with a.
- Go for it.
And you're rolling advantage on this one.
Because there stunned.
So you burn the key points.
- Yeah.
That is all?
I add eight to it?
- Add eight to it.
- 17?
- 17 hits.
- Okay, great, whew.
- You see that a,
You guys look over across
the river in dulcington
And see a haunting blue
purple and pink light
Begin to swirl up
And you hear the screams
of meat landers out there.
That's going to be it's
cumulous and his unit.
That's gonna be saccharina and cinnamon.
- Okay, if cinnamon
took a double movement,
Could he get to this balustrade?
- A double movement for
him is almost four inches.
Let's find out.
Because that's no, that's 50.
So that's 80.
No, it's more like more like seven inches.
So this is a double move for cinnamon.
- So he can get there?
- Yeah, in a double move.
- Sweet.
- Where are you
Trying to get to?
- The ballista.
- Ballista, cool.
- I was wondering if on the way
If i wanted to sort of
like go over the side
And lightning bolt this in
like a row in the middle.
- What's the length of lightning bolt?
- A hundred feet.
- A hundred feet?
- Yeah.
- That's four inches.
Jesus christ.
And how much damage does that do?
- I think i'm just gonna
do it at a third level.
So it would do 8d6.
- Go ahead and roll 8d6.
- And also the, it would
ignite flammable objects
That aren't being worn or carried.
- Go ahead and roll 8d6 for me.
- Okay.
- You need more?
- I got some over here.
- Oh, did i?
- If you do at 8d6, yeah, cool.
- Would i have gotten temp hp for that?
- Yes, you would have.
- With my group.
- Your group would not have, no.
- What were you gonna say?
- Go ahead and roll 8d6.
- Oh, okay.
You know, i'm gonna do empower spell.
- Okay.
- So i'm gonna re-Roll.
It says i can re-Roll my
charisma, which is five.
- Yeah, go for it.
- Okay.
I'm gonna, okay.
A little better, okay.
So, 11, 14, 22, 28, 29.
- Cinnamon takes off.
Chocolate and deep cinnamon fire.
And you see that he gives you
A little twitch in his
shoulder to let you know
That he swirls upside down.
Hanging upside down, you extend a hand
And rake lightning k*lling
a third of the archers
On the wall, inflicting two casualties.
I mean immediately it's like 20, 30 people
Go up in lightning and are done.
- And because he has haste,
cinnamon now has an action.
He's gonna attack the balustrade.
- Ballista, go for it.
- I'm just imagining one of the dudes
Doing that thing where there's
like an expl*si*n out of them
And they do that running in the air thing.
- Okay, first is his bite.
- Nice.
- 23.
- 23 hits.
- Okay, so
Nine damage plus six fire damage.
- Okay.
- Then he is going to claw.
- 21 to hit.
- It hits.
- 16 damage.
- Jesus.
- And then finally hits again, 29.
- Yeah, that'll do it.
- And 15.
- This dragon streaks through
these guys over the castle.
Brimming with arcane energy.
Holy sh*t.
Another ballista destroyed.
- Haste on a dragon?
- Yeah, haste on a dragon, baby.
You see cinnamon, just crows
And lights up the f*cking stuff.
That is now.
- Is there only three ballistas left?
- That one, that one,
that one, three left.
- Great.
Holy sh*t, okay.
These archers are gonna take shots here.
If he has an ac of 22,
because he's got cover,
It's not the higher tower.
Complete miss.
Arrows ping, ping, ping
off his dragon scale.
And you see, okay.
Another unit musters, means two flanks.
- Who's on that?
- Plumbeline.
That is the meat landers.
- They're f*cked up, right?
- They're stunned, f*ck.
Well, the dogs aren't.
- Little hot dogs.
I hate them.
They miss, the dogs miss.
That's going to be, the ballista
Are gonna take some attacks.
They no longer fire at disadvantage.
It's gonna be
- Dragon.
- The dragon.
- One of them doesn't have
the eyeline, i feel like.
- Oh yeah.
- You know what, zac,
Why don't you keep your f*cking opinions-
You're exactly right, i'm gonna roll.
- Does that other one have?
- I'm gonna say on a one through i,
One of them hit on a one through two.
No, that's a six.
Okay, so this one up here
does hit and deals 14 points
Of damage to cinnamon
As a donut lance spears
into the side of the dragon.
- My baby.
- Okay, that is back to liam.
That's your unit.
- Okay, i have a question.
If i wanna act individually
And cast hunter's mark on someone,
Do i have to leave my group?
- No, you can do it.
You can do it from your group.
- Okay, awesome.
Okay, then i'm going to attack
the people right in front.
No, i'm gonna go for
this vegetainian calvary.
- Calvary, that's a good idea.
- Okay.
- And i am going to, yeah, i'm
just gonna attack normally.
- Nat one, interesting.
- What spell did you cast?
- It happens.
- No, that was just for a regular attack.
But now i'm going to, oh,
I guess i'm not within 90.
What's 90 feet on this board?
- 90 feet on this board
is about four inches.
- Okay.
Yeah, okay, cool.
Well then i am, you know what,
Can i do my hide thing and
attack with advantage instead?
- Yeah, go ahead and
gimme a stealth check.
- Cool, oh, right.
Yeah.
- Cool.
That's 17.
- 17 is great.
Yep that'll do it.
Now, go ahead.
Yeah, so go ahead and see if
this is higher than a nat one.
- Yeah, interesting.
I certainly hope so.
Yeah, but it's only a 13.
- 13 is not gonna do it.
Okay, cool.
You continue to charge
after theo and his unit.
- Yeah, same thing, i'll give
you my movement. - Sweet.
Cool, so you're just keeping
your movement in lockstep.
- Oh, i don't think house
rocks attacked last time,
Because we had their calvary though.
- Calvary was speeding to join you.
- Yeah.
- And there's no one
for them to attack yet.
- Oh the one that is flanking with
- Yeah, they attacked.
- They did attack?
Oh, cool, my bad.
- Jawbreaker.
- Jawbreaker, yes.
- Oh that's what i meant, jawbreaker.
- Oh, another full dash?
- I don't think i wanna run up
Into this business right now,
Because we're kind of screwed.
I think i am going to,
I think maybe we shift
And like get into position
To meet this calvary or something.
Maybe even like coordinate with these guys
To kind to protect liam's.
- Cool.
- If that's cool
When they move on amethars.
- Yeah.
- All right.
So i'm gonna set myself
up kind of like here.
- Cool.
- Once the calvery's in range
We'll go after 'em.
- Cool.
- And then i'm hoping that
these guys come like here.
- And so you're, you're not taking dodge.
You're readying an attack
for when they come.
- Yeah.
- You set for a charge.
Awesome.
That's theo in his unit, bada-Boom.
Amethar, that's you.
- Can we close with grissini?
- On a speed of 40?
Yep, and actually you get an action.
- Can we, can my unit rage?
- Your unit can rage.
- A bunch of like frat boys.
- Sorry bro.
- Incredible.
These guys are making the dodge action.
So you do have disadvantage on the attack.
- Great.
Okay, let's do, let's go with it.
Lower the two is just gonna be 13.
- 13 does not hit.
- Okay.
So you take your attack at them.
That's amethar and your unit.
Then that's all of house rocks.
- Can these guys move to
attack the vegetainian,
sh**t on the vegetainians?
- Yes they take, they move 30.
They're at equal grounds.
They're not gonna get
disadvantage on this.
Go ahead and roll attack for them.
- What do they get?
- Plus four.
- It's only six.
- They fire up into the dark
and then house rocks cavalry.
What are they doing?
- They'll, as on theo's orders,
move into this position.
- Should we move to like hereish.
- Yeah, cool.
- And move them up.
- And they'll kind of be yeah.
- Yeah, flanking there, cool.
- Ready for the vegetanians, right?
- And then the ones behind me as well.
- Oh, and they're gonna fire.
Go ahead and fire on the meat landers.
They get advantage.
- 17.
- 17?
- Plus whatever they have.
- Yeah, that's definitely gonna do it.
Awesome.
- Hypothetically, could i get away?
Could i go solo and
give my archers to theo
To keep walking with him?
- They would probably
just keep doing stuff.
They just wouldn't get your
advantages in this situation.
But yeah, you can.
If liam wants to f*ck
off, liam can f*ck off.
- Okay, cool.
I just wasn't sure if
they like stopped acting.
- No, they will continue.
- Definitely still need them.
- They will continue to do stuff.
- So far i haven't used any
of my abilities for them.
I should have just taken my
three attacks in my first round.
- You hit those guys over
there in the first round.
That went really far.
- True, true.
- Yeah.
- You've been attacking.
Wait, what did you roll
on that attack for them?
- I rolled a 17.
So i add whatever bonus.
- Gotcha, cool, cool, cool.
Great.
So that's going to now be that's them.
That's gonna be the vegetainians.
- Did they hit any of the meat landers?
- They did, but another casualty.
The meat landers are
looking not good right now.
- Do i know how many
units they have or just.
- You k*lled about half their number.
So that's now going to be vegetainia.
These guys close.
- I have an action prepared,
can we attack them?
- You can attack 'em, go for it.
- Yeah, nice.
- What did my guys get?
- Your guys the wonderful
knights of north gumbia,
You have a very high defense.
Your power is plus four.
- Okay.
Ugh, 10.
- Okay.
T his guy's going to attack.
That's a hit.
They inflict a casualty,
But it is just barely a casualty.
So you don't take any damage from it.
- Okay.
- That's going to
- Can i cast shield
On my unit?
- Give me an arcana check.
I'll call it a dc15 arcana check.
- Can princess help me?
- Princess can help you.
- Please help me princess.
I don't have great arcana.
21.
- Oh my god.
You see that these guys are going
To this vegetanian cavalry go,
"for the bulb above, may
its light protect us!"
You throw swirlwarden up.
And the largest shield
you've ever conjured,
A 40 foot shield flashes across
the b*ttlefield and boom.
These vegetainian, like celery horses
Smash into the front of the shield.
- That's so rad.
- Incredible.
f*cking, a siege of a castle.
That's going to be, that's those knights.
We got other people going,
Because we're gonna close
with these cavalry here,
Come for house rocks.
That's a hit.
They inflict a casualty on house rocks.
- How many, how many people do
we have on the horses there?
The cavalry's very
powerful, but very small.
So that's one of four hit points
That they have gone.
- Got it.
These guys are going to
advance down the hill,
Keradin and his people.
These guys are going to move as well.
So that's gonna be, jesus.
They're gonna go here, take
a dodge action, vegetanians.
And then these ones are
gonna come for ruby.
That is a miss.
They do not inflict a
casualty on ruby or your unit.
And i'm trying to think if
there's any other vegetainians
That i have here.
I do not have any.
- Can i ask you a question?
- Yeah.
Again, with like these mechanics,
If i wanted to cast something
that's like bursting arrow
Or hail of thorns that affects
multiple people near it.
Does that work in this kind
of a battle, or not really?
Would i be able to like hit
- Area
- Someone and inflict a casualty?
- Area of effect spells
are very effective.
Like lightning bolt things,
that affect an area,
Mean that you can as an individual
Do stuff to a unit, for sure.
- Okay.
- So there's a potential
to inflict a casualty, yes.
That's gonna be the trebuchet again.
- Hell, yeah.
- Come on?
- Let's go, dude.
- Let's go.
- Nat one.
- Okay.
- 16.
- I forgot.
- Go ahead and roll damage.
- Yeah.
- That was such a slow roll to a nat 20.
- Dang.
- One, two, three, four
Five, six, sorry, can i
borrow your two again?
Yeah, drink that coffee.
- Suck it down.
- Eight, 11, 16, 23, 30, 30 plus 12, 42,
47 on, let's go, yeah, that.
- That one here?
Okay, that one is still operational.
47 is not enough to do it.
- Get it one more time.
- What is it at?
- These add plus five.
- 13.
- Okay, nope.
So they keep raining down.
Ruby, that's you and your unit.
- Well, it's worked so far.
So who am i to not hide?
Yeah, i hide.
- Hell yeah, go ahead
and roll with advantage.
- 16.
- Ruby, you tell me.
What happens as you and your unit
Move on these vegetanians?
- I just want to like fully terrify them.
So they are like sh1tting themselves
As we split them all the way up the body.
Ruby in the middle, flickerish comes out.
Green arrows are stuck
outta bodies everywhere.
And boom, you stand
the princess of candia.
And the commander of this unit
Is gored by your sister's blade.
This unit screams, routes, disband.
- Great.
- They are off the board.
- And then i'll take my movement
Towards like just along the road.
- Awesome.
You're gonna take your movement.
- Which is 35.
- 35, yeah.
You come up right behind the cavalry here.
- Great.
- Awesome.
- Hell yeah.
- Hell yeah.
- Bringing up the rear.
That's going to be.
- Rear god is the fear of god.
- Oh, that's gonna be jawbreaker.
Jawbreaker, this unit is gonna come up
Behind these archers here.
Ruby, you've got your unit here.
- Yeah, can that unit go after these guys,
This other cavalry?
- Yeah, in the dark, you call
out to jawbreakers cavalry,
And then you see, they go,
all right, your highness.
And then turnaround.
That's gonna be 50, 60.
That's a lot.
Yeah, these guys do a
full charge to close.
They don't get an action though.
They come up to basically,
Actually they're gonna come right here
And start flanking that cavalry.
- Awesome.
- Then that's going to be
that's jawbreaker there.
This unit.
- Yeah, is there any way
We can rotate to, or is that just.
- No, we can rotate.
These guys are going to,
I'm actually gonna go
ahead and have these guys
Move irregular and they are going to,
You see that there's a
little bulbian church here.
Joren's in this group
And you see, he goes,
He just says like "through the church!"
And just knocks a bulbian
symbol off of the f*cking fence
On his way through and
moves right into here.
He can go ahead and make an
attack on grissini's unit
With disadvantage.
- You want me to roll it?
- Yeah, go ahead and roll.
- Wouldn't he have advantage
because he's flanking?
- It cancels it out so it's just one roll.
- Sweet.
Five plus whatever.
- It's not gonna do it.
That is jawbreaker, his unit.
The ram is moving up slowly behind them.
That's going to be.
Okey-Dokey.
Archer's muster and immediately
fire on amethar's unit.
- That are raging?
- Hmm?
- We're raging.
- That are raging, yep.
- We as a unit together, can rage.
- They do inflict a casualty on your unit.
- Half to one half.
- Half a casualty.
You take five points of
damage, halved to two.
Okay.
Okay, that's now going to
be cumulous that's you.
Okay.
They're not stunned anymore?

- Yes, you can, burn another key.
They do not succeed.
They are stunned again.
Insane.
- Okay, i'm going to save the other hit
And hope that the
archers can take them out
And then they'll start running.
Cool, saccharina and cinnamon, that's you.
- Okay, i think that
cinnamon's just gonna take,

In the center of your armor
And flattens you to the ground.

Of this f*cking dragon.

As the dogs closing on either side
And it puts another

But second level hail of thorns.

You're not doing double
damage on this one.
- I know, so it's a d10 for my normal hit.
Hail of thorns is another d10.

With enthusiasm.

If you'd be so kind.
Just double checking something.
This is f*cking wild.
Okay.
Hell yeah.

standing over you being like.
You die here, sweet little bear.
And both of her eyes explode
out the front of her head.
And as she drops, standing

Not smoking, but a misting crossbow
Is liam wilhelmina as plumbeline falls
Outta the f*cking empty chariot.
