2. Encounter with the Fiendish Swarm

   The party enters the Fatekeeper's ritual room, an expansive sanctum where a massive pile of fiendish creatures awaits. The initial conflict is immediate as the fiends notice the adventurers' presence, initiating combat.

   Notable Quotes:

   Jason Nguyen ([07:27]): "I try to identify using the scope's magic."

   Notable Quotes:

   Dan Casey ([56:16]): "And it is on a slab of uncut Painite... a being of energy."

[Dan Casey]

Hello everyone and welcome back to Sagas of Sundry Goblin Mode. I'm Amy Vorpal, your dungeon master. And with me, as always, are the Minions of Mayhem, your favorite terror squad, played by.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Hi, I'm Dan Casey. I play Fibs. He's a skeleton, but also a wizard. And now very underground.

[Danielle Radford]

I'm Danielle Radford. I play Busy. Busy is also a skeleton. She is a multi class bard rogue. She's also underground.

[Jason Nguyen]

Hey guys, I'm Jason Nguyen. I play Tippy, a goblin artificer. He's got a gun and he's very much not a baby. Sure, sure.

[Dan Casey]

And our special guest.

[Becca Scott]

Hi, I'm Becca Scott and I play Berygnis Burfist the sixth. Ooh, yeah.

[Danielle Radford]

Wonder where the other ones are.

[Becca Scott]

No one knows. And I am a Runeshaper cleric.

[Jason Nguyen]

Ooh, Runeshaper.

[Dan Casey]

Yes. Yes. You know, I thought it would be nice for this party to have a cleric. Let's see.

[Jason Nguyen]

I think that's a smart idea.

[Amy Vorpahl]

I've gone my whole life without failing.

[Dan Casey]

Joyce, you are such a smart beat. And with that just really amazing compliment from Jason Nguyen, it's time now to part the veil of reality. And we are no longer in a cube shaped room on a high floor in a place that may or may not have been designed to actually be a studio. No, no, no. We are, as the Dwarven player characters said before, deep underground in Fitfettel Delve, the Dwarven gem mine in a place that has been abandoned for centuries for lack of use and also for maybe even the departure of the source of this place, the Fatekeeper's ritual room. It is an enormous sanctum, 100ft high, 50ft wide, in a circle. And our two goblins, two skeletons and two dwarves are all facing against a literal pile of fleshy fiends. They have just noticed the players come in. And how would they not after exploding the door down? But dwarves will be dwarves. And what we're going to do is jump right into initiative, baby. I'm ruined.

[Becca Scott]

We'll go for stealth retroactively.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Yeah, let's talk it out.

[Becca Scott]

This is my lucky one.

[Dan Casey]

Give me. Oh, oh, oh. All right. Anyone get a 16 or higher?

[Becca Scott]

Yes.

[Dan Casey]

What was it? 19. Oh, 19. Okay, so that's Berygneus. Anyone get an 11 or higher?

[Jason Nguyen]

Yeah, that's a 14.

[Danielle Radford]

I also got a 14.

[Jason Nguyen]

There we go.

[Danielle Radford]

What's your decks?

[Dan Casey]

18.

[Danielle Radford]

Okay, so you. You do it.

[Dan Casey]

Tippy. Busy. Anyone get a six or higher? Oh, no.

[Amy Vorpahl]

This couldn't be me.

[Dan Casey]

Did anyone a four? Okay. Okay. That beats Picara's one, but.

[Jason Nguyen]

Picara.

[Dan Casey]

Okay, you see, like thousands of eyes just look at you all at once. After a bit of a second, many of them do go back to to trying to get to the center of wherever they're piling onto. But some of them do target you, and it actually is Beringeas turn first.

[Becca Scott]

I'm sorry, we may have gotten you into a bit of an unpleasant situation, my new friends. So let's just bless your hearts. And I cast bless upon my three new friends. I guess there's one other new goblin friend, but I ignore her. That's fair.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Does it sound like she's saying that in earnest or in kind of rude way like they might do in the South?

[Dan Casey]

I think the goblins might say, yeah, bless your heart like that.

[Becca Scott]

But I think no, actually I did bless Your heart.

[Dan Casey]

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah.

[Becca Scott]

Your heart is blessed.

[Jason Nguyen]

I feel blessed. I actually do.

[Dan Casey]

And so what can they do with bless?

[Becca Scott]

Whenever you make an attack roll or a saving throw before this spell ends, which is a duration of 1 minute, you can roll an additional D4 and add that number to your attack roll or saving throw.

[Dan Casey]

Awful.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Thank you, Berygnus.

[Jason Nguyen]

Thank you, Barry.

[Becca Scott]

She put a cleric in the room to help you. Yeah, my first.

[Amy Vorpahl]

We could have been getting blessed this whole time.

[Dan Casey]

What's a bless?

[Amy Vorpahl]

I don't know.

[Jason Nguyen]

This.

[Dan Casey]

Okay, it is now. These fiends turns, they almost look like undead. They're fleshy, but even the flesh is like decrepit, falling apart, very pocked. They do actually have a humanoid shape head, two arms, two legs. But they're crawling on all fours and they move faster than you think they should be able to look. They almost move like beetles, like very skittery. And these, remember, they are swarms of them. So it's not just one of them is coming at you. It's a mass. And as the masses move off the piles, you can see that some from the ceiling are seeing an opening and dropping back down onto the pile. But for a time, as the masses did move, you saw a chunk of this pile that was not holding any fiends at the moment. Even below those fiends, it seemed like there was even more. The pile is about 15 or 20ft high and has about a 15 foot radius as well. Many of them are going to turn towards you. So let's see, they're going to attack Tippy and busy. Oh, Tibby. 10 does not hit, but I think a natural 20. Oh, tight this is going to do.

[Jason Nguyen]

So I dodge one and I'm like, busy. Look out.

[Dan Casey]

You take eight slashing damage. Busy. Okay. As their claws are able to get up to you and slash around your legs. And some of them are even stacking on top of themselves to get at your bones of your torso. Get them off me. All told, that is what happens. They seem to be weak, but obviously very many of them. It's Tippy's turn.

[Jason Nguyen]

Okay, so seeing as they just went up and attacked my friend, you would think that Debbie is going to shoot that one, but he's not. He's going to use his goblin ability, nimble escape to disengage from the creature that's attacking him. Okay, I'm gonna move my maximum movement speed away from the action and I'm gonna go. Unzu gave me something the scope. And I look through my gun at what the mass is. And I try to identify using the scope's magic.

[Dan Casey]

Okay, perfect. When you look at that, go ahead and make your DC. What is it? 16. Perception check.

[Jason Nguyen]

Perception check. Okay. DC 16. Perception check with the blast. Oh. I rolled exactly a 16, and the bless makes it 19 plus perception. That's 22.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah. You're able to determine their AC, a weakness or a secret.

[Jason Nguyen]

What would you like their weakness, please.

[Dan Casey]

Okay. They are chocolate.

[Jason Nguyen]

No, we ate all of them.

[Danielle Radford]

That's why they're all over me.

[Dan Casey]

They can actually understand abyssal.

[Jason Nguyen]

Okay, okay.

[Dan Casey]

Cold, fire and lightning won't do much damage to them. Cold, fire and lightning and poison.

[Jason Nguyen]

So I relay that to the entire team. Tippy runs, and he's scoping, and he's like. It seems like they're resistant to cold, fire and what?

[Dan Casey]

And immune to poison.

[Jason Nguyen]

Cold, fire, and lightning. And I think they're immune to poison, so don't try to poison them.

[Amy Vorpahl]

You can see all that through the scope?

[Dan Casey]

Yes.

[Amy Vorpahl]

That's incredible.

[Dan Casey]

I know.

[Danielle Radford]

Ow.

[Amy Vorpahl]

What am I weak to? Look at me.

[Dan Casey]

Okay. Okay. Yeah. You know that pibs is weak. Weakness is a good book on a code. Seems like you're weak to a good book.

[Jason Nguyen]

Like a book. Nook situation.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Guilty as charged, buddy.

[Dan Casey]

Ugly cushion. Yeah. Gives his cottagecore all the way.

[Danielle Radford]

What am I weak to? Besides being attacked currently by all of these dudes?

[Jason Nguyen]

I think you're just weak to being attacked.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah. No, actually, her weakness is the fear of not reaching one's potential.

[Danielle Radford]

Damn.

[Jason Nguyen]

Seems like.

[Danielle Radford]

No, we said Bizzy's weakness, so you didn't say Danielle's weakness.

[Jason Nguyen]

Seems like your weakness down to the very, very core of you is not meeting the standards of society and be successful.

[Danielle Radford]

Now I double hurt.

[Becca Scott]

Maybe put that sculpture you got to free tough. Oh, that's not me.

[Dan Casey]

No, no, no.

[Becca Scott]

That's my friend.

[Dan Casey]

Sorry. Okay. Not that this is a serious battle or anything.

[Jason Nguyen]

It's just a very serious battle.

[Dan Casey]

Okay.

[Becca Scott]

I always tell her it's being too nice.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah. Godfrey is too trusting. She just. She gives people too much of the benefit of the doubt.

[Jason Nguyen]

Looks like you're too trusting.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah.

[Jason Nguyen]

Just maybe trust a little less. And then I go and I look over at Berygnis.

[Dan Casey]

Berygnus actually fears her own success. She's not taking up the mantle that she was born with.

[Jason Nguyen]

You got a bit more in your future. You should probably step up a little bit.

[Becca Scott]

I'm doing enough.

[Jason Nguyen]

And then I take my gun and I slowly turn it to myself. I'm like, no, what am I doing?

[Dan Casey]

Okay.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Gun to bc.

[Dan Casey]

So you disengaged and you looked at that. I think I'm. That's the turn, right? Yeah. That's okay. Okay, perfect. Figured it out. Busy. Now it is your turn.

[Danielle Radford]

Okay, so I'm being covered by dudes, and I am a rogue bard, which does nothing for any of the things that they are. I don't have a scope that sees only insecurities in your friends.

[Dan Casey]

Is it?

[Danielle Radford]

But would I know if. Are they tracking by sight, by sound, by smell?

[Dan Casey]

Yeah. Roll a nature check.

[Danielle Radford]

Okay, so I don't know this. I don't know anything right now. I'm in too much pain. I rolled a natural one, so that's a two. I'm in too much pain, I think.

[Dan Casey]

But regardless of that, you can definitely tell that they are whatever they're snacking on or wanting or going after, even though some have taken a break to snack on you, that they are interested in what's at the very bottom and center of the pile.

[Danielle Radford]

So they're more interested in that. Okay, so what I'm gonna do.

[Dan Casey]

Yes. Because there is a huge pile. Like, by all rights, they should be turning on you, and only two different swarms of them are.

[Danielle Radford]

Okay, so what? Busy. Is going to cast silent image, and I'm going to make an exact replica of myself.

[Dan Casey]

Okay.

[Danielle Radford]

And I'm going to make it walk over to whatever it is they're going for in the hopes that they will decide that they need to move away from me and attack that to keep it away from whatever it is they're trying to protect.

[Dan Casey]

Your silent image walks over to the pile, and you cannot tell still. You can't even see what they're burrowing into. But as you move your silent image over there, a couple of them clock what you're doing. We'll wait till their turn to see what happens.

[Danielle Radford]

And then for my bonus, I'm gonna cast bardic inspiration, and I am going to cast that on Berygnaeus. Like, hey.

[Dan Casey]

Ow.

[Danielle Radford]

You, Ow. Are doing a really great. Ow.

[Dan Casey]

Ow.

[Danielle Radford]

Ow job here.

[Dan Casey]

Ow.

[Danielle Radford]

And I believe ow in you, and I think that you're doing just great. I'm in a lot of pain, but don't be afraid of your own power. And if you want to use any of it so I can stop being eaten, that would also be very cool. Thumbs up.

[Dan Casey]

Ow.

[Becca Scott]

Validation. I give it, but I so rarely get. That's not true. Oh, God, Frieda, you're too trust.

[Dan Casey]

Okay, perfect. You now have bardic inspiration. That's an extra D6 to a D20 roll. And it is Gottfrieda's turn. Gottfried is going to.

[Becca Scott]

I didn't hook her up though.

[Dan Casey]

No, I know what she's gonna do is actually she's gonna see Pekara and go, you and me, girl. I'm gonna go on the left and you're gonna go on the right and we're gonna come together in the middle and maybe cram some of these guys together. She's using a leadership tactic that actually she does have. She is good at strategy. And so she and Pekara are going to move as a team together towards the center pile.

[Becca Scott]

Like I said, terrible runeshaper, but good at other things.

[Dan Casey]

That is going to be what she does. And Picara is going to be able to actually add a D4 to her role when she gets to go. But first it's Fib's turn.

[Amy Vorpahl]

All right, first I have a quick question. Would you consider this large pile of little dudes to be a singular entity or are they divided into discrete swarms?

[Dan Casey]

Gosh, I would do either one. Yeah, there are many parts of a whole, but all together they do form quite the cluster. Yeah, I think that could count as one thing.

[Amy Vorpahl]

How big are they really?

[Dan Casey]

Small, like two to three feet, I guess. Big for beetles, small for humanoids.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Gotcha. Big for beetles, small for humanoids. That's how I measure most things. Okay, I'm gonna take a bit of a swing here. Fibs reaches into one of his pouches and says, all right, let's see here, what do we got? And comes out with a handful of powdered iron and looks at the giant swarm and thinks to himself, big. I wonder what's underneath there? And then he blows it onto the swarm or out in front of him and it flows through the air out to the swarm and he casts reduce to make them smaller.

[Dan Casey]

Oh, my, my, my. I love it. Okay, here's what happens. That reduces it by one size. Right? Okay, so 30 foot, I think, is a gargantuan. And so we're gonna say that it moves down to huge or giant, whatever. I'm not looking that up, but it goes down from about a 30 foot pile to. It moves in 5ft. Okay, so it went 30ft to 20ft. So what happens immediately is this enormous pile of beings just swarming around each other. Each one on the outside trying to dive deeper, trying to dive deeper. Others get pushed out. It's like they're scrabbling over each other, but they're not attacking each other. They're just trying to get further and further into the center. When you cast that, the pile completely shrinks. But what you see is that these beings that were about 2 to 3ft actually are completely reduced down to mere 5 or 6 inches. So it's still a coating on them with these smaller beasts running around. And in fact, it almost looks more grotesque as the movement just swirls and swirls faster and faster on the side of it.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Sorry, it's my bed. I didn't think it would look worse.

[Dan Casey]

You made that much worse.

[Jason Nguyen]

Oh, it's so unpleasant. See, it looks wetter and damper for some reason.

[Dan Casey]

What you do notice is that even with this outside layer reduced in size, that the pile itself, whatever's underneath it, has to be even further buried deep because you do see normal sized fiends still on the outside.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Gotcha.

[Dan Casey]

Coating. Gotcha.

[Becca Scott]

Or inside.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah, sorry. It's like a truffle of fiends. You've got the small crunchy bits on the outside and then you have the large soft, fleshy ones underneath and you just creamy.

[Becca Scott]

The creamy ones are inside.

[Dan Casey]

Well, we don't know what's inside, but we can only imagine that's what you.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Should have used the scope for. Well, the secret.

[Jason Nguyen]

Just wait.

[Danielle Radford]

How many licks do you get to the center of a fiend pile?

[Dan Casey]

Just one.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Okay. Fibs kind of hugs absentmindedly at his lustrous locks. And that's the end of his turn.

[Dan Casey]

Amazing. Okay, so it's Pekara's turn. And Pekara is going to follow Godfried's lead. She actually sees where you're aiming your gun at, where you were looking, and goes, I got your back, Tippy. I'm going in. Careful. She tries to hit just a big old swarm on the outside. They're smaller but still there. Yeah, she's able to hit. She does a little bit of damage. As you see her take her dagger and just goes, ow. You see some of these fiends kind of fall down dead, especially the smaller ones, but overall nothing's really done to the entire pile. She says, I don't know how we're gonna do all of this. This is an enormous pile. I like your spunk, Godfrieda, but I don't understand how this is gonna work. And that is Berygnius. Turn back to the top.

[Becca Scott]

Okay, what is happening on busy right now? Is there one creature attacking?

[Dan Casey]

It's a swarm of them. Yeah, so I would say a swim swarm is about five or six.

[Becca Scott]

Oh, no. Okay, so if I have to. We gotta go area. Do I use a big Gun?

[Jason Nguyen]

Yes.

[Danielle Radford]

All right.

[Dan Casey]

You're asking the gun Goblin.

[Jason Nguyen]

Always use a big gun.

[Dan Casey]

I think automatics.

[Jason Nguyen]

Am I automatic or what do you.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Want to say no legs?

[Danielle Radford]

How many do you want to be?

[Becca Scott]

Really wants to help, but I think what would help most. Do you want healing now or do you want me to just get these bugs handled?

[Danielle Radford]

So they're on me. But are they doing continuous damage?

[Dan Casey]

No, you can't tell. None of them have leeched onto you. None of them are biting you consecutively. They're clawing at you. That's what did a lot of the damage.

[Danielle Radford]

That did the damage.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah, the soft damage. Okay.

[Danielle Radford]

I love healing, but let's get these bad boys off me.

[Becca Scott]

All right, here's what we're gonna do. I walk over to busy and close my eyes, casting spirit guardians.

[Jason Nguyen]

Oh, great idea.

[Becca Scott]

I'm gonna make cute little dwarf angels that are gonna pop out and float around with little wings. They look like those Precious Moments dolls. And these things are gonna have to.

[Dan Casey]

Do a wisdom save. Okay.

[Becca Scott]

And on a failed save, they'll take radiant damage.

[Dan Casey]

Oh, I love it.

[Becca Scott]

Lots of radiant damage.

[Dan Casey]

Okay. Not very wise.

[Jason Nguyen]

Those are babies.

[Becca Scott]

They are babies.

[Amy Vorpahl]

It kind of looks like you cherubic.

[Dan Casey]

Cherubic dwarves. Okay, so that's gonna be.

[Becca Scott]

They're wearing little diapers.

[Jason Nguyen]

Yeah, little diapers. Okay.

[Dan Casey]

They got a three on their wisdom saving throw.

[Becca Scott]

Oh, that's not enough. And I am designating all of my allies to not be affected by this radiant damage. They're gonna take 3D8.

[Jason Nguyen]

3D8.

[Danielle Radford]

Damn.

[Becca Scott]

Anything within 50.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Damn.

[Becca Scott]

So I was trying to decide whether I should go pile, but I see a friend in need. So I'm targeting the swarm that's on busy. And maybe if it catches some on the edge of the pile.

[Dan Casey]

My sweet DM and what's. You know, that sweet talk just works on me. Okay, I gotta change my. I tried it.

[Jason Nguyen]

I gotta change my tag.

[Dan Casey]

Becca, the radius for spirit Guardians is 15ft.

[Becca Scott]

15Ft.

[Dan Casey]

And you're.

[Becca Scott]

So I was walking kind of towards the pile in between busy and the pile, making sure busy swarm is the primary focus.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah, for sure. Okay, cool. It will hit some of the pile, then. Sick.

[Becca Scott]

Let's see, that's nine plus seven. That's the same as two, eight. 16 damage.

[Dan Casey]

Okay, 16 damage to each of them.

[Becca Scott]

Radiant damage.

[Dan Casey]

Amazing. Yeah, that's gonna do it. So go ahead and describe what these beings feel like. They are again, like little skittery flesh, like monkey like creatures. Okay.

[Becca Scott]

Skittery flesh, monkey creatures begone. Take my dwarf baby Angels have at em. Those babies are going wild. They pull out like little straws and they're just like mm, squeezy or pouch, whatever you call it at your house. My DND is very informed by babies. And they just, they just slurp em up. They just slurp em up?

[Dan Casey]

Yeah, just drink their essence.

[Becca Scott]

That's what radiant damage is.

[Dan Casey]

And I like that you are like I'm imagining actually the troll dolls because I like that the dwarves around you are a little angelic. But they also are different colors like the gems in the brightly colored gem.

[Becca Scott]

Hair with little gems in their belly buttons.

[Danielle Radford]

So they slurp up legally distinct, legally distinct gems.

[Dan Casey]

And they slurp up these fiends. And as the liquid from their bodies just oozes out, they are left as a flesh sack, just empty on the ground. Squeezes, squeezing. That is what your spirit guardians do. But you didn't even notice that on the other side of you on your right, it is capturing some of the py like scooping out this hemisphere that your spirit guardians are also taking over. It's doing the same thing to the small tiny creatures that fibs reduced and as well as some of the larger creatures underneath that almost like taking a big bite out of this hemisphere.

[Becca Scott]

That was more efficient than even I thought it would be.

[Dan Casey]

You get a good way into the pile.

[Becca Scott]

Can we see anything exposed still?

[Dan Casey]

No. But it does look like with this bite you took out of it, you can see about 10ft in and you still can't see what's on the inside. And as soon as you do that, beings drop from the sky and fill that part back up.

[Becca Scott]

Wait, beings drop from the sky? Like more flesh? More critters?

[Dan Casey]

Yeah, they're on the ceiling and the walls around you too. Those that haven't, they haven't quite got their confidence up or don't think that they can quite make it. But after you've taken the bite out of this dome, they take their chance. Like they're gonna fill that back in. But again, it's still a 10 foot radius dome because of fibs spell.

[Becca Scott]

Okay, group, they don't seem to be too wise.

[Dan Casey]

No, they don't. Correct.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Ask them for advice.

[Dan Casey]

Okay, we still have. It's their turn again. Let's see how many are going to remove themselves from the pile and target you. Okay, we have six swarms leaving the pile now. They're all of normal size. So busy another one is going to attack you. No, it does not hit tippy. The ones on you are going to try again. Really? No. But two more swarms are going to attack. Both of you busy? Yes. That's going to be a dirty 20. And does a 13 hit, Tippy?

[Jason Nguyen]

It does not.

[Dan Casey]

It does not. Okay, so two more. One on Bergis, one on Fibs. Brignas.

[Jason Nguyen]

No.

[Dan Casey]

A four to hit. And. And fibs. Dang. No five to hit. Okay, so it was really just busy again. Oh, the dice are mean, but no critical the this time. So that's good. You take four slashing damage.

[Becca Scott]

Okay, fun fact about the ones that appeared in my 15 foot radius, once they entered, they had to do another saving throw or take this damage for 10 minutes.

[Dan Casey]

For 10 minutes? Oh, yeah. Yes.

[Becca Scott]

Or knock me out of concentration.

[Dan Casey]

Okay, well, let's see if they know not to do that. They get an eight and then that's it. They got an eight, right? It was just one of them. Yeah. They are completely depleted. They're juiced like deflated balloons immediately upon entering.

[Jason Nguyen]

Babies keep slurping.

[Dan Casey]

Babies. Slurp babies. So even though six different swarms have left the pile, you're still left with a ten foot radius pile. And the ones that left are replenished by the ones on the ceiling falling down. Okay, Tippy, your turn.

[Jason Nguyen]

Okay, first of all, so that last scope checkout, I was asked for a weakness. So all I found out is they don't have a weakness, but I know what they're resistant to.

[Dan Casey]

That's right.

[Jason Nguyen]

Right. So as far as I know, they don't have any known weaknesses.

[Dan Casey]

I did tell you. Oh, they understand abyssal.

[Jason Nguyen]

But yeah, they understand abyssal. So I'm clocking that knowledge. Just before I make my move, I yell out to the group, does anybody speak abyssal?

[Becca Scott]

Well, I speak common plus any two languages of the DMs choice.

[Amy Vorpahl]

You did do that semester abroad in the abyss.

[Dan Casey]

Hey, let's let the dice decide. Okay. 11 or higher on a D20 will let you speak abyssal. That's a 2. You do not speak abyssal.

[Becca Scott]

What about elvish?

[Dan Casey]

Sure, that sounds great. You can speak Elvish.

[Jason Nguyen]

Okay, well, I feel like the abyssal thing's important, but I don't know, it seems like when the babies were slurping. Right. The babies were slurping away. It made a hole. Right. And it seems important that these things keep filling up the hole.

[Dan Casey]

It does seem important.

[Jason Nguyen]

So Tippi sees that and goes, try to hide something. Something in the middle. Well, I wonder if they're resistant to click clack bullets. First things first, I'm just gonna fire my eldritch cannon. The one with the little eyeballs.

[Dan Casey]

Okay. Yes.

[Jason Nguyen]

And I'm gonna blast. It's the blasty kind of eldritch cannon. Okay, that's not good. That's gonna be.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Don't forget to roll an extra 1d4 to your attack.

[Jason Nguyen]

Oh, blessed boy. I ended up on the one side of that D4. And that's gonna be an 1111.

[Dan Casey]

It will pierce through the outer shell of the feed pile.

[Jason Nguyen]

I think it's 2D8.

[Dan Casey]

And what did you get?

[Jason Nguyen]

That's gonna be 13 damage.

[Dan Casey]

Oh, just 13 damage? Okay, great. So that's the eldritch cannon. Awesome.

[Jason Nguyen]

That's the eldritch cannon. And then I'm gonna blast with Tippy's gun for sure. So that's gonna be way better.

[Dan Casey]

Remember your plus one scope?

[Jason Nguyen]

Yep. That's gonna be like 26.

[Dan Casey]

Really?

[Jason Nguyen]

Yeah. So I get plus one from repeating shot. Plus one from the scope. I rolled a 19, so it's 22. And then I get plus six on a pistol. So what was that?

[Dan Casey]

That's even 20. Well, 19 plus two is 21. And then plus six is 27.

[Jason Nguyen]

27.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah, yeah. Okay. So it definitely, definitely hits.

[Jason Nguyen]

That hits. And I didn't hit the boss yet, so. All right, that's going to be a 1d8 plus 5. So 10 damage.

[Dan Casey]

So here's what happens between the two of your attacks, the eldritch cannon and your cobbled together gun and scope. It is highly impressive. You do see it pierce through. And I don't know that anyone else would be able to see this, but you do. As these bullets fly through the swarms and a few bodies are just chucked off willy nilly. And through the piercing, just for a second, you actually see there is a core and it shines red light right back at you. Intense, intense red light, guys.

[Jason Nguyen]

There's something inside and it looks very red.

[Danielle Radford]

Wow.

[Dan Casey]

I suppose because it is in the dark right now, and that being a really solid light source, no gems on the walls that y'all would be able to determine. Something red did shine forth from the hole, at least for a second. Until more of these creatures filled it back up. Yeah. And you did a significant amount of damage as bodies of these creatures are falling on the floor on the outside. Awesome. Great. Busy.

[Danielle Radford]

So I'm just going to drink from the chalice. I'd already supreme healing. And so that is 10d4. Plus 20. I don't even gotta do all that because plus 20 right now my HP is at 12, so the plus 20 is gonna get me to 22. I will roll 1d4 for fun. Because we're all here, so why not? And that's a two. So now I'm back to four.

[Dan Casey]

Amazing. Okay. And I didn't address that. These monsters, when they saw your silent image. Your silent image watched all the way on top of the pile, inside the pile, just kind of do all kinds of stuff to it. And you can tell they're not. It's not magic that they're interested in. It's also not something visible that they're looking for either.

[Danielle Radford]

Okay. So it's a feeling like they're being drawn to it.

[Dan Casey]

Almost like it's a energy or a feeling.

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah.

[Dan Casey]

Okay. Yeah. And so this image that is fully false and not made of really anything other than magic does not interest them.

[Danielle Radford]

Okay. Okay.

[Dan Casey]

So that's a bonus action. To drink from the chalice.

[Danielle Radford]

So that's a. To drink from the chalice. I am going to cast unseen servant.

[Dan Casey]

Okay. So you call upon her, and she comes in flying and says, oh, my gosh. Hey, girl.

[Danielle Radford]

Hey, girl.

[Dan Casey]

How are you?

[Danielle Radford]

How have you been?

[Dan Casey]

Busy.

[Danielle Radford]

Doesn't know if she remembers anything from.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah. She goes, I have missed you. I have really missed you. I missed you too. You look great.

[Danielle Radford]

Oh, my God. Thank you so much.

[Dan Casey]

What took you so long?

[Danielle Radford]

You know, since the. When was the last time I saw you?

[Dan Casey]

Well, it was in the ethereal realm and we kind of melded.

[Danielle Radford]

I'm so sorry. I, like, didn't. You said you weren't gonna remember.

[Dan Casey]

That is not what I said. I said I didn't know. Oh, my God. Hi. I remember every second.

[Danielle Radford]

How are you?

[Jason Nguyen]

They had a smooch.

[Dan Casey]

Oh, yeah. I'm simultaneously the best I've ever been and also really frustrated. It's really hard for me to materialize here. And I've been waiting for you. So a little mad at you, but not really. I can never stay mad at you. Oh, my God.

[Danielle Radford]

I'm so sorry. I just wanted to give you. There's like little chittering. I just wanted to give you space. Cause I wasn't sure what you remembered.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah, that's a. Oh, my gosh. Where did you bring me to? Oh, yeah.

[Danielle Radford]

We're like in the middle of the battle, but we're like home, so that's cool, right?

[Dan Casey]

Yeah, Yeah, I remember fit fettle delve. Yeah. From those days, like way back in the day. Way back in the day.

[Danielle Radford]

Also, my like, great, great, great, great great great great granddaughter's here. And like, she does not know any of this. So, like, secret, secret, secret, secret.

[Becca Scott]

Is this all out loud?

[Dan Casey]

Yeah.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Don't forget about a sidebar. You can do that with a go.

[Danielle Radford]

Sorry, sorry.

[Dan Casey]

We're gonna go into. We're going into. We're just gonna go. We're gonna go to Cobble, but, yes, everything.

[Becca Scott]

What did you say about a great, great, great, great granddaughter?

[Danielle Radford]

Oh, I said, have you ever heard that sometimes there's a thing called a great, great, great, great great granddaughter?

[Dan Casey]

I think you might need to deal with this, Ashley.

[Becca Scott]

I'm kind of crazy.

[Dan Casey]

I think everyone heard us loud and clear. When we're together, we're very loud. I know, it's wild.

[Danielle Radford]

I wouldn't have thought that we were that loud.

[Dan Casey]

Okay, so did you want to. To. You want to do consensual possession or you want me to wreak havoc or.

[Danielle Radford]

Oh, gosh, maybe not in front of the kids.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Danielle Radford]

If you want to wreak some havoc, though, that could be really fun.

[Dan Casey]

Okay, I'll do that. Yeah, I would love to. So now we have Rani. She'll. I think summoning her was an action. I'll have her go after Pekara. Okay. Oh, yeah, Rani. Forgot about that. Love her fun being. Love this vibe. Okay, busy. So, yeah. So she's just hanging out near you, and she'll go and do what she does at the end. So Godfrieda is going to command Pakara to attack. She's going to try to attack as well. Let's see if she does. She's going to shoot her crossbow. She sees that the light that you shined did something, so she's going to try to pierce the pile as well. No, she got a one. Got. Frieda whips out her heavy crossbow and shoots, and it just hits the back of one of them in such a way that it goes haywire, gets knocked askew, and. Fibs. It's your turn.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Luff in there. It's showtime. Show em what you got. Time to cause some terror.

[Dan Casey]

I can't wait to show everyone what I'm made of, which is mostly web.

[Amy Vorpahl]

That's exactly what I'm hoping for, darling.

[Dan Casey]

Okay, Unky Fibs. Yeah. So she goes ahead and. Where are you having her cast? Web.

[Amy Vorpahl]

So just remind me, is there a group of them currently attacking? Busy.

[Dan Casey]

There's two selling to be one on you. Fibs.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Okay, I'm gonna say. All right, Luff. Aim true, aim carefully, and free your unky tippy from these horrible little creatures.

[Dan Casey]

It would be my pleasure, but I do not stand for freedom. I stand for complete ruination under my web. So I'm not to save Unky Tippy, but I am going to kill the fiends.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Okay. Ruin the people adjacent to Unky Tippy Dun. All right. That is a 22 for her to hit.

[Dan Casey]

Oh dear. Yeah, cool. So they're going to make a strength saving throw to see if they are. Yeah, both of them are now under her web.

[Jason Nguyen]

Oh, webs. Was that from Luff?

[Amy Vorpahl]

Who else would it be from?

[Jason Nguyen]

I don't know what these things can do.

[Dan Casey]

And it's like these webs shoot out and they slap right on top of these swarms and they miss you just by inches as you feel your goblin hair like whoosh back aimed extravagantly perfectly. Fibs. What else?

[Amy Vorpahl]

You know what? I've had enough of these guys over here. Seems like they need to calm down. In fact they need to chill out. And the skeletal hang loose erupts from his hand and slowly turns around and squeezes the pile as I cast chill touch.

[Dan Casey]

Oh, okay. Amazing. So chill touch is cold damage.

[Amy Vorpahl]

It's gonna be a rain. No, it's necrotic.

[Dan Casey]

Necrotic.

[Amy Vorpahl]

So that is 18 to hit.

[Dan Casey]

It hits.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Okay, that is four points of necrotic damage.

[Dan Casey]

Yes. Your ethereal hand moves out sparking with necrotic energy as it touches the pile. It grabs some of them and squeezes. And once more. It's like an ice cream scoop has been taken out of this dome. Gross. A few more bodies fall. This time it does not fill up. It's as though it is getting weaker. This pile and this kind of hive mind sense that they all have together.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Are they undead perchance?

[Dan Casey]

They are not undead.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Okay then never mind. Fibs goes back to concentrating. Stay small. Stay real small.

[Dan Casey]

Okay, awesome. Pekara's gonna go. She is going to to take out a little. Just a little doodad, a little metallic doodad. And just she's really close to the pilot. She's just going to aim it. It's like a sphere with a hole at the end of it. You just see just a huge slew of fire come out of this teeny tiny ball that's held by a teeny tiny goblin. That's plenty of damage. Why hasn't she done this before?

[Amy Vorpahl]

You've been wondering the same thing.

[Jason Nguyen]

I hope that on us, huh?

[Dan Casey]

Pekora, you see it go? I mean it is almost like a flamethrower. Just a 15 foot cone is extreme fire. So she holds it out and you see that this fire burns all the way to the core one more time. As the red light shines through again, she's going to be near Gotfrieda. And I'll say Tippi again. Roll a perception check.

[Jason Nguyen]

Okay.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Hint it Dex saving throw.

[Jason Nguyen]

That's going to be 21.

[Dan Casey]

Okay, 21. There is something inside it. And with a 21, you're able to tell that there is a large gem the size of about three feet long.

[Jason Nguyen]

Large gem, three feet long.

[Dan Casey]

And there is some version of a being or a creature attached to it on the top.

[Jason Nguyen]

There's something on top of that gem. Some sort of being.

[Dan Casey]

Yes.

[Jason Nguyen]

Say that to the whole.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah, yeah, perfect. Okay. And she goes, ro, I saw that, too. Oh, my gosh. What is that? And it looks like it could be a gem, but made more of magic than something corporeal. And it floats out of this tunnel that she's made with her fire. It floats out and then it begins floating up, but very slowly, like a firefly almost, but bigger and brighter. It also is the color of pink cotton candy. It's Rani's turn. Rani goes, I don't know, but I can't touch anything. I am again, not a poltergeist. And she's going to attack the pile as well. She's just going to do almost like the chill touch does and go ahead and scoop into that ice cream that Fibs made Nightmare scoop plenty. Yes.

[Amy Vorpahl]

I'm worried about what you think ice cream is.

[Dan Casey]

Don't let that laugh.

[Amy Vorpahl]

A pile of loose beetles. My favorite.

[Dan Casey]

One more time. She kind of just moves her body into the pile and just stands firm. And a bunch of these beings wither and explode from her as she does 20 necrotic damage to the aisle.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Damn.

[Dan Casey]

Oh. You are able to see one more time.

[Jason Nguyen]

That Ronnie Op.

[Dan Casey]

You are able to see one more time the core. And another sparkle of cotton candy light floats out.

[Danielle Radford]

Busy just looks at Roddy and is like, oh, my God, you're so hot.

[Dan Casey]

Oh, thank you. Yes. Yes, I am.

[Becca Scott]

Well said.

[Dan Casey]

Okay, you're here, Berygnius.

[Becca Scott]

Berygnius says, you know what? Maybe we all should pull out a little trinket from our pocket and do some runescaping shaping.

[Jason Nguyen]

And we all play runescape.

[Becca Scott]

We all play runescape. She's gonna use one of her rune gems and holds it out. I need someone for the spell who is brave enough. I will make it so they can't come for you. If someone wants to be the subject of sanctuary, you can go in there and kind of dig around, but if you do damage to them, Then the sanctuary stops. So I can also do it to God. Frieda, if no one's interested.

[Jason Nguyen]

I'll do it. I'll do it.

[Becca Scott]

A brave little tippy you are, said no one.

[Dan Casey]

New tippy. New tippy.

[Jason Nguyen]

Honestly, you said something about them not being able to hurt me.

[Becca Scott]

They cannot hurt you. They'd have to make a wisdom saving throw. And they're not so smart.

[Jason Nguyen]

Yeah, sign me up.

[Becca Scott]

All right. You just kind of. Just kind of rub it on ya.

[Jason Nguyen]

Okay. I thought there'd be more to this trinket than just rubbing a thing on.

[Becca Scott]

Runeshiping is not as glamorous.

[Jason Nguyen]

It's just a rock scraping against my skin.

[Becca Scott]

It's kind of like a spot treatment sometimes. Okay, they're exfoliating me.

[Dan Casey]

Are you rubbing things on future date?

[Jason Nguyen]

Oh, so I'm future date now? I've graduated from prior smooch.

[Dan Casey]

Well, aren't you though?

[Jason Nguyen]

Yeah. I mean, yeah.

[Dan Casey]

So are you repping things on my future date?

[Jason Nguyen]

Babe, chill. I'm just trying to get a spell over here. You know, it's not a big deal.

[Becca Scott]

Drone shaping. Nothing like that.

[Jason Nguyen]

It's a little rude shape. It's fine.

[Amy Vorpahl]

They've kissed one time.

[Dan Casey]

One time. I'm so invested. All right, if everything's above board.

[Jason Nguyen]

Totally above board. Just a little exfoliation.

[Dan Casey]

All right, well, maybe I'll get fibs to rub some magic on me.

[Jason Nguyen]

That's fine if it's protective. I want to kiss you.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Somebody dreaming.

[Dan Casey]

I want to kiss. I want to kiss you so bad too.

[Jason Nguyen]

There's a lot of real bad.

[Becca Scott]

No, it's not like that.

[Dan Casey]

Oh, really? Yeah.

[Becca Scott]

I'm not interested.

[Jason Nguyen]

No, me neither. I mean, you know, you've got a bunch of dwarf babies to take care of. I've got my own. Hundreds of things.

[Dan Casey]

Hundreds.

[Becca Scott]

Hundreds of dwarf babies.

[Dan Casey]

So you do cast sanctuary. This is a very interesting spell. You are now protected. And any creature who wishes to attack you must make a wisdom saving throw and then attack something else. That's very interesting. Yes.

[Becca Scott]

That was my bonus action. I Also, after exfoliating, I got. Anybody else's back. And I'm going to just do a couple melee Radiant Strikes, if I may.

[Dan Casey]

You may. You may.

[Becca Scott]

Just a slight little attack. Okay, so this is a multi attack. So that's 19 on the first one.

[Jason Nguyen]

Wow.

[Becca Scott]

And 15 on the second.

[Dan Casey]

Okay. Both of those will hit. Yeah, for sure. And are you targeting. What are you targeting?

[Becca Scott]

Some of the bigger squish monsters. Squish skitterers.

[Dan Casey]

Great. There is still a swarm around Fibs and then you do have the piles.

[Becca Scott]

I see a friend in need. May I? And then.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Sure.

[Becca Scott]

Radiant strikes. It's gonna be 66 each one. I rolled so many ones. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. 10 on one of them.

[Dan Casey]

Okay. That'll incinerate and destroy the ones on fibs.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Holy smokes.

[Becca Scott]

Do you want me to roll it twice or just call it 10 on both?

[Dan Casey]

It's up to you.

[Becca Scott]

I mean, if 10 works. Yeah, that's good. It's higher. I realized I was. I was doing more math than necessary.

[Dan Casey]

Okay, awesome. So fibs right in front of you. You just see this bolt of deific light shine down from the heavens and annihilate the swarm of fiends in front of you. And the other one does. The other one does strike the pile. It does not actually pierce through the same way that the crossbow and the gun did. But you do see some fiends just fly off the top of the mound as well. The top of the mound does seem to be getting smaller in radius than the other parts of the dome.

[Becca Scott]

Did you ever think about runeshaping?

[Dan Casey]

Yeah.

[Amy Vorpahl]

No. I'm really feeling like the sum total of my choices relative to literally everyone in this room has left me very weak. Borderline frail.

[Dan Casey]

Okay.

[Becca Scott]

Typical wizards.

[Dan Casey]

It's the monsters turns. You know what they're going to do is just burrow down and try to get through to the corner. You're still about 10ft from the core. You can tell that it's still about a 10 foot thickness from the outside to the inside. Tippy, your turn.

[Jason Nguyen]

Before I do anything, Tippi turns to Berygnus and I go, do you have any of that dynamite still on you? My sweet, sweet dm. My sweet beautiful DM with an amazing makeup. Is there any. Do they have any. Do they have any explosives from when they blew up? Do they carry that at all?

[Dan Casey]

Oh, I think Varignius does. Don't you, Becca?

[Becca Scott]

I think it would be not efficient to not have a second supply. Perfectly calculated to have a bonus.

[Jason Nguyen]

Can I snag one just for later?

[Becca Scott]

Heads up if she tosses it.

[Dan Casey]

Oh yeah. Very safe, honestly. Yeah, you throw it. That's where she gets risky.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Light it so it flies faster.

[Dan Casey]

You gotta stick it down that from what you know before. It will just take a little bit of flint and a match and you're on your way.

[Jason Nguyen]

I'll come and play later. Can I see the entity inside? Or has it closed? Back up.

[Dan Casey]

Close back up. These piles of fiends are not Coy that they are trying to get to that.

[Becca Scott]

Get in there and burrow.

[Jason Nguyen]

Is that the only way?

[Becca Scott]

You gotta burrow with the beetles.

[Jason Nguyen]

And you're sure the exfoliation's gonna work?

[Becca Scott]

I super swear it didn't seem like magic. It seemed like a simple spa treatment. But it was for sure. I saw what I seemed like magic.

[Dan Casey]

It did not seem like either a spa treatment or just magic.

[Amy Vorpahl]

It seemed as though people can't just lie about crystals.

[Jason Nguyen]

Let's do this. Tippy beelines putting faith in Berygneus to the center of the opening to try to burrow his way to whatever's in the center.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah, great.

[Jason Nguyen]

Not attacking, but burrowing to see you're gonna.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah. Become one with the pile. I love it. So go ahead. You're gonna need a strength saving throw to even push through some of this.

[Jason Nguyen]

Oh, I regret my choice.

[Dan Casey]

Sorry, sorry. Do an athletics check.

[Jason Nguyen]

Athletics check.

[Becca Scott]

Bless your heart.

[Jason Nguyen]

Okay, with the 12, that's gonna be 13.

[Dan Casey]

13 will do it. Yeah, 13 will do it. So you press through the first 5ft of this 10 foot radius and these beings are clamoring on top of you. But let's see if they do try to attack you. Some of them might. They might try to attack you, but no, they do not. They got. They got a four. So they did not make their wisdom saving throw. Go ahead and see if you can get to the actual core one more time. Okay, this is going to be an athletics check.

[Jason Nguyen]

Pushing through athletics. Let's see what happens. That one's way worse. Let's see if blessed will take me there. That's gonna be. Is this a six or nine? This is a nine. Oh, no, that's gonna be like 10.

[Dan Casey]

Okay, so you're stuck kind of right in the middle. It's like the core. A layer of guys, you another layer of guys. And what the rest of you see is your little goblin friend just boggling, bolting into the middle. He's disappeared. That's all. You know.

[Becca Scott]

He'll be fine. Yeah.

[Dan Casey]

You can't hear anything from the inside over the smacking noises that these things are making. But yeah. Tippy's gone busy. Your turn.

[Jason Nguyen]

Goodbye forever. Not worried.

[Dan Casey]

Okay.

[Amy Vorpahl]

We never gonna see him again.

[Danielle Radford]

Damn. Okay, so we've got all of the little guys that are surrounding this core core. Okay.

[Dan Casey]

You also have a couple of twinkling lights floating.

[Danielle Radford]

Can I get a closer look at the lights?

[Dan Casey]

Yeah, you sure can.

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah.

[Dan Casey]

I want to investigate them lights. Investigate them. Absolutely.

[Jason Nguyen]

That's right.

[Danielle Radford]

Thirteen.

[Dan Casey]

A thirteen. You would notice that these lights are remnants of what's in the core, which you might have put that together. It's just that you. Well, you used to be a dwarf. And it's not unlike a magic filled gem. Touching it or being near it will channel what it's meant to do.

[Danielle Radford]

Okay, and how close am I to one of the glittery things?

[Dan Casey]

You're near. Yeah, you're near. You can make it.

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah. So I'm going to dash over and I'm going to grab and try to catch one of the fireflies in my hand.

[Dan Casey]

Okay. As you catch one or touch one, you are able to collect this. You feel like it is a gift in your hand. It feels like the same way when you touched a gemstone, that it's just thrumming with magic energy.

[Danielle Radford]

Okay. So I can feel the magic energy, but. And nothing is transferring. It's not helping me out in any way.

[Dan Casey]

No. It in itself, like you holding onto this little light that seems like you shouldn't even be able to hold. It pulses in your hands and somehow you are. You control it now.

[Danielle Radford]

I control this little bit of light.

[Dan Casey]

Yes, you do. Okay. It's blowing your mind a little bit. I will say.

[Danielle Radford]

Is me dashing over and grabbing it. Like, is that a bonus or can.

[Dan Casey]

I. Yeah, that's dashing.

[Danielle Radford]

Okay, so I'm gonna see if. Since I've got the. And I'm feeling like I'm very attuned to the core, and I'm feeling very attuned to the room, which was already. This whole area has been filled with magic. I'm gonna see if by using this, I can speak directly to the core.

[Dan Casey]

You can communicate. It's more of a feeling. Yeah. What do you do? How do you communicate with it?

[Danielle Radford]

Okay, busy says hey. So if you can find a way that you. You can open up even a crack more. We've got a little goblin who I think is in there. If you could both open up so that we can help you out more and let the goblin out, those things would be great.

[Dan Casey]

You get the pulse back. That says savvy. Hell in common.

[Danielle Radford]

Okay. Are you hungry?

[Dan Casey]

What do you need?

[Danielle Radford]

Do I feed you gems?

[Dan Casey]

That's it.

[Danielle Radford]

That's it. Okay. So y'all the big shiny lights week.

[Dan Casey]

Use light.

[Danielle Radford]

Use light. B6 or anybody else. Does anyone have something where they can maybe shine some kind of holy light?

[Dan Casey]

You do. You literally do.

[Danielle Radford]

I do.

[Dan Casey]

In your mind. And then she think, oh.

[Danielle Radford]

Busy is very high. Busy is very high. And how close? So I'm pretty close to the Thing, right?

[Dan Casey]

Yes, yes.

[Danielle Radford]

So Lizzy opens up her skeletal hands with the light and leans over to where the stuff is, even with all of the gross things crawling around it, and kind of touches it to the bigger part of it to open it up and see if she can get all those guys off of it.

[Dan Casey]

Okay. You touch it to the pile and it explodes. The pile and it explodes outwards. These beings are pushed back again. It's really just a five foot area. Another ice cream scoop out of it. Go ahead and roll. 5D4. It'll be 5D4 radiant damage.

[Danielle Radford]

5D4 radiant damage. Damn. Okay, so that's 4, 8, 11.

[Dan Casey]

So you see, busy having this conversation with the light. And then very, very tepidly, very gently and nurturingly touches the light to this pile of beings on top. It just freaking explodes. Like it's a massive amount of energy. The light looks very deific, just the way that Becca's strike did. And the creatures just are thrown upwards to the right, to the left, all over the place. It's really hard for this type of to be refilled by these guys. They're almost like keeping their distance from it just for fun. I really think that you were all on the same side. So, Tippi, you take five. Radiant damage.

[Jason Nguyen]

Preacher?

[Dan Casey]

I was about to ask, but I.

[Jason Nguyen]

Was like, maybe I shouldn't speak up.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah, you're gonna take half. Cause you were covered up. But you do get a glimpse of Tippi. There he is, making his way through, screaming.

[Jason Nguyen]

Yeah, but Sanctuary's still up though, right?

[Dan Casey]

Sanctuary's still up.

[Jason Nguyen]

I'll take that down.

[Becca Scott]

Area effects do go through.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah, she wasn't targeting you. Okay, there is one more bit of light shining, but it is got Frieda's turn. I think she's gonna leave the light to you all and go back into her crossbow. That seemed to evoke some stuff. Gosh, she does not roll very well. Fibs, it's your turn.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Inspired by Gottfrieda and her valiant attempt, Fibs decides to make a valiant attempt of his own. He saw what Bizzy just did with the light and he thinks to himself, that's gotta be it. Maybe something with that light. And so Fibs wants to run towards the other moat of cotton candy light. And he can't quite reach it. So he's going to use the staff of Roll Bear, using the snake head to kind of like a lacrosse stick to yeet it the pile.

[Dan Casey]

Amazing. Yeah. You are able to throw this light into the pile and it explodes, no problem. And it's radiant damage. Roll 5D4.

[Jason Nguyen]

Guys. I'm in the blast zone.

[Danielle Radford]

You're so brave.

[Jason Nguyen]

What are you even throwing?

[Becca Scott]

But they're not biting. Aren't they?

[Jason Nguyen]

You're right.

[Danielle Radford]

I guess you're right.

[Dan Casey]

Does it.

[Becca Scott]

I bet it tickles.

[Amy Vorpahl]

14 points of radiant damage.

[Dan Casey]

14? Oh, my gosh. Okay, you can tell the beings themselves are noticing that stuff's happening to them. So they're swarming. Just some of them are actually running away and fading away. They're still there, but they're just not as obsessed with this core. The pilot seems to grow, but it actually seems like the core itself is growing in nature, pushing them off. The core is getting closer and closer to you. Pakara's thing does not recharge.

[Jason Nguyen]

Did I take radiant damage as well on that one?

[Dan Casey]

Yeah. What was it? It was 14 to 7. 7. Radiant damage 7.

[Danielle Radford]

Radiant damage 7.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Tippy.

[Danielle Radford]

7.

[Amy Vorpahl]

What the hell are you doing?

[Jason Nguyen]

I'm trying to help. So weak.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Help.

[Dan Casey]

Pakara is going to run up to you, Tippi, and she's going to just slice at some of these beings. Yeah, for sure. She's killing some on the outside. Rani's going to do her attack one more time at the top. And she again, like, gets in there and then pushes out. And more beings are scattered around. Berygnius, it's your turn. And then it's Tippi.

[Becca Scott]

Friends, I've cheated.

[Dan Casey]

Blessed was a concentration. Those spirit babies.

[Jason Nguyen]

We're not blessed.

[Dan Casey]

Are a lie.

[Becca Scott]

You have not been blessed. But are you a kid? Your beliefs, clerically that you were blessed. It was a placebo effect.

[Jason Nguyen]

I thought I was blessed this whole time.

[Amy Vorpahl]

This feels like an object lesson about faith.

[Becca Scott]

That's all it was down here in the dwarven mines. A fit petal. I think it is the light itself that these beings are repelled by. So I'm gonna cast the cantrip light. It's gonna put 20ft of bright light.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Cast it on Tippy.

[Becca Scott]

I'm just gonna make it. It's just light. Yeah, it's just light.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah, yeah.

[Becca Scott]

Just regular old light.

[Dan Casey]

And where is it shining or where did you cast it?

[Becca Scott]

I'm gonna walk to the opposite side of the pile from where I saw Tippi go in. And just from the palm of my hand, it radiates outward, reaching as close as I can get from the outside towards whatever being's trapped in there.

[Dan Casey]

You do shine light and the entire room is lit up more.

[Becca Scott]

Yes, it's an object. So I will cast it upon the clasp in my hair, that magically enchantedly braids it all the time.

[Dan Casey]

Very.

[Becca Scott]

And when I pull it out, it just goes straight up. In every direction.

[Dan Casey]

In every direction. Yes. And the light shines brighter. You're able to see everything crystal clear. These monsters are horrendous. But the light itself does not actually have any effect on the beings. Cool.

[Becca Scott]

Your light's special. It's not just any light. That's what I was checking anyway. Let me smash some more with Radiant Strike.

[Dan Casey]

No. Just kidding.

[Becca Scott]

Already active.

[Dan Casey]

Okay, Tippi, what would you like to do?

[Jason Nguyen]

So is any of this action opening up the hole at all? Because there's been a lot of blasting of the hole with me in it.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah. Choppy in the hole. Yeah. You can see you're, like, two or three feet away from being able to get to the core.

[Jason Nguyen]

Do I still need to pull things out of the way or.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah, roll a strength. Athletics check.

[Jason Nguyen]

Athletics check. Okay, so I'm gonna try again to get to the core. And that's a four.

[Dan Casey]

A four. Roll one more.

[Jason Nguyen]

Okay.

[Becca Scott]

You need a better die.

[Jason Nguyen]

One more time.

[Becca Scott]

This is the one.

[Jason Nguyen]

Yeah. This is gonna be the guy, huh? All right, let's see. That's a three.

[Dan Casey]

You're just not quite there. And actually, one of them is gonna succeed on a wisdom saving throw. Oh, no.

[Jason Nguyen]

So that does the sanctuary goes away then, right? Once you get hit once, or does it stay up?

[Danielle Radford]

I think it's once you hit one.

[Dan Casey]

Of them is when it goes away.

[Jason Nguyen]

Okay. Okay.

[Dan Casey]

Okay. So will 17 hit you?

[Jason Nguyen]

Yes.

[Dan Casey]

Yes.

[Jason Nguyen]

That one hits. Okay, get to the core.

[Dan Casey]

Okay. You take six slashing damage.

[Jason Nguyen]

Six slashing damage. Okay.

[Dan Casey]

So how are you doing?

[Jason Nguyen]

Bad, bad. Very bad.

[Dan Casey]

Okay.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Dippy death.

[Dan Casey]

Incoming again. These last bits of creatures on top of this core, they're just not falling away. You're not able to get even a foot closer.

[Jason Nguyen]

And so is the searching and just the action.

[Dan Casey]

It was almost. Yeah, it was kind of like pushing through and moving. Is there something else you want to try to do?

[Jason Nguyen]

No, If I had a bonus action, I'd do something, but if I don't.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah. What's your bonus action?

[Jason Nguyen]

Bonus action is so Tippy.

[Dan Casey]

Oh, bad news.

[Jason Nguyen]

No, no, no. Tippy trying to pull things apart, but just realizing his hands are just too sweaty. He's just too weak of a goblin. And he goes, you know what? Screw this. And he takes his gun out and he shoots the remaining. Whatever.

[Dan Casey]

That's a bonus action, is to shoot your gun.

[Jason Nguyen]

The eldritch cannon is a bonus action.

[Dan Casey]

The eldritch cannon. Okay. Okay.

[Jason Nguyen]

And it's its own entity too. It has its own entity.

[Dan Casey]

Oh, you just get to tell it what to do.

[Jason Nguyen]

Yeah, yeah. So it's not me attacking.

[Dan Casey]

I understand.

[Jason Nguyen]

It's the cannon that's attacking.

[Dan Casey]

They can attack you. You're just holding it. And it's.

[Danielle Radford]

The tip is don't kill people.

[Jason Nguyen]

Exactly.

[Dan Casey]

Tippy. Roll to hit.

[Jason Nguyen]

Okay. Rolling to hit with the Eldritch cannon. Let's see. Way better. That's a 19 all hit.

[Dan Casey]

Go ahead and roll your damage.

[Jason Nguyen]

So that's 2d8 for the Eldritch Cannon of Force damage. That's 5.

[Dan Casey]

5 damage.

[Jason Nguyen]

5 damage.

[Dan Casey]

So that. That's enough to release this outer shell. They get the sense that they are being attacked. There's many of them, but they are small and weak. And so the ones that are remaining and not dead yet start scurrying away. Of course, some of them are still just gung ho on snacking on whatever is in this core. But you are all of you now able to see what is in the middle. And it is on a slab of uncut Painite, which is a deep red and very rare crystal. It is shining brightly throughout the room, giving a very warlike blood red tint to the entire room and all of your faces. On top of the Painite is a being. It is a being of energy. Not again, like any energy you've seen. It's not elemental in nature or. But it is emotional and spiritual energy. But you can see it.

[Jason Nguyen]

Okay.

[Dan Casey]

Imagine a statue made of metal. There are some features that are just not included. She just seems as though she was crafted and then forgotten. And she radiates softness. She herself is the color of pink cotton candy with sprinkles of gold. Light twinkles in between. However, she also is a little bit translucent as well. And you immediately are overcome with this feeling of whimsy. Like when someone winks at you like you're sharing this secret. And it's something small, but it's something good. And she is curled over this red stone and she just barely turns her head. There are still some creatures above her. And she just says, come busy. What do you do?

[Danielle Radford]

I walk over to her. I think I'm already pretty much right there. Right. Because I touched it earlier.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah. And with the pile scattering, you're able to approach without trouble.

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah. So I go over to her. I kind of crouch down so I can look her in the face.

[Dan Casey]

As you enter her sphere of influence, which is not big. It's maybe a total of 5 foot diameter. But as you get close to her, her influence grows to include you. And Tippi, you're there too. And as it touches busy. It actually grows to include you as well. And this core pushes the fiendish beings away as well. So the sphere, it's, like, completely protected, almost as if it was made of glass. You do lean down and you just get this feeling of home and secrets and flirtation and. And good fortune.

[Danielle Radford]

Perfect. So while I'm in there, I'm just gonna tell everyone, hey, get in here. Move in here. Trust me, it's, like, super cool. And then I am going to cast cure wounds on poor Tippi.

[Jason Nguyen]

Yes, please.

[Dan Casey]

How much does he heal?

[Danielle Radford]

So 1d8 plus your spell casting ability modifier. Okay, I am second level, so it's 2D8.

[Jason Nguyen]

Why don't you roll and I'll add whatever you roll.

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah. So that's tight. And that's an eight, buddy.

[Jason Nguyen]

Eight. Okay, that helps.

[Dan Casey]

And that's another eight.

[Danielle Radford]

What is happening?

[Dan Casey]

Sixteen.

[Danielle Radford]

Sixteen plus.

[Dan Casey]

And then my charisma, I think for.

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah, my charisma, which is still only like a one, but like a. That's 17.

[Jason Nguyen]

Oh, wow. Okay, great.

[Becca Scott]

And you thought you needed a cleric around.

[Amy Vorpahl]

This is the first time that has.

[Dan Casey]

Ever happened to us. Yeah.

[Jason Nguyen]

Wow.

[Dan Casey]

As you move in and help your friend out and tell the rest of them to enter in, Gottfrieda and Pekara for sure are going to enter in, seeing the effects of this sphere. Brigneus as well.

[Becca Scott]

Yeah. I whisper goodbye to my spirit guardian babies and they dissolve. Belly's full, ready for naps.

[Dan Casey]

Bye, Mommy. Bye.

[Becca Scott]

I love your sweeties.

[Dan Casey]

And Fibs as well.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Fibs finally stops concentrating, and somewhere he feels some little bug boys getting slightly bigger as he walks into the bright pink light. And Fibs, as he walks in, what does he feel?

[Dan Casey]

Fibs feels the feeling of complete possibility. New ideas are striking you. It's that feeling, like, right before you go to sleep and you're like, oh, wait, there's this I could do. And you need to roll over and write it down. It's possibility and ideas thrown into your brain.

[Amy Vorpahl]

Fibs looks at this being and he feels like he knows who she is. But I'm happy to roll for it because I don't want to.

[Dan Casey]

No. Who do you think it is?

[Amy Vorpahl]

Are you Yuthis Wanderer's fortune?

[Dan Casey]

I'm, like, gonna cry. Yes. What the. How did you know that? Did I. What? What happened? How did you know that? How did you know that?

[Becca Scott]

Not often is your DM made to cry.

[Amy Vorpahl]

I have my notes about the Sundari from the pillar puzzle.

[Dan Casey]

Oh, my God.

[Becca Scott]

Oh, you got her.

[Jason Nguyen]

You got her good.

[Dan Casey]

That's crazy. And she says, oh, thank you. Wow. I am Euthus, the wanderers. And at that moment, Gottfrieda and Berygnius look at each other and got Frieda, says a Sundara Asundara here and Fitfar old Delve.

[Becca Scott]

This is incredible.

[Dan Casey]

Who are you? And she looks at Fibs.

[Amy Vorpahl]

I'm Fibs. But we serve a greater cause. We are trying to stop an evil. We've helped many of your brethren, like Arsena and Odenf.

[Dan Casey]

Those are my favorite Sundari. I love the Sundari. I can't believe this one's been living here under me nose.

[Becca Scott]

Right under her noses. She's beautiful. I might weep. She's like another little baby to me.

[Dan Casey]

She's so weak. We may not have the skill to help her here at Fitfettedelf.

[Jason Nguyen]

All right, I'm just gonna ask. What's up with the flesh demons?

[Becca Scott]

Wish I knew.

[Dan Casey]

They're on the outside of the sphere at the moment.

[Becca Scott]

They're what we thought was being pushed back all this time. We came here to destroy whatever was keeping everyone out, but looks like it wasn't doing much to begin with.

[Dan Casey]

And you can finally see this being stir. Everything that you've heard, especially Fibs, about the Sundari implies that they should be many stories tall. The fact that she is about the size of an elf is very strange and sad to you, but she stirs. And she looks right at you and says, you know me, but you are not my champion. My champion calls me. And as you all ponder what that question even could mean, that is where we will end this episode. Thank you so much for tuning in.

This will get cut out, but these creatures look hilariously mammalian in the sense that they got titties.

[Jason Nguyen]

I'm shooting them right in the titties. Hey, folks. We're the hosts of Comic Sans, the podcast about comics for those who are sans knowledge. I'm Yen, a reader, writer, liver, and breather of comic books.

On comic Hans, I make Nat read some of my favorite works in the medium, including Saga, Daredevil and the Flintstones. And Yann talks about what makes that comic special.

[Dan Casey]
