00:00Hello, one and all!
00:02Welcome to another episode of Adventuring Party.
00:05I'm your humble Dungeon Master, Brandon Lee Mulligan.
00:07With me as always are our questing queens.
00:10Say hi, questing queens.
00:11Hi, questing queens.
00:14Holy smokes, what an episode.
00:16It's a bloodbath in here, look at that.
00:18Things are toppled over and got rings around people.
00:20This is crazy.
00:21But look at me standing strong with two hit points.
00:24Finally, finally standing up.
00:28What's the lowest everybody got to in this battle?
00:30Because I feel like everyone dipped under half at least once.
00:3318 was mine.
00:3418 was the lowest, who?
00:35Gertrude with two.
00:36Nine.
00:37Nine.
00:37I skated by the hairs on Bob's chinny chin chin.
00:40Oh, you're the one to talk, zoom in!
00:42Zoom in!
00:43One, I have one hit point.
00:45One hit point, oh my god.
00:48This was such a joy.
00:52I gotta do it again,
00:53because we just gotta get our worth out of it.
00:55This dragon effect from the arts department.
00:58Oh yeah, so good.
00:59Oh my god.
01:00Unbelievable.
01:00And the Emmy goes to round of applause.
01:03How about it?
01:04This dragon, unbelievable.
01:06Mofandrix, woken up from the depths of the icy prison,
01:10and you all were successful.
01:13There it is.
01:13Oh, so cool.
01:15That's so fucking cool, dude.
01:16It's the French in here.
01:17There is a no vaping policy here in this.
01:22In Travis videos?
01:23No Mofandrix.
01:24Oh my gosh, can I vape right now, since-
01:25That's one of those big vapes.
01:27That's one of those big vapes.
01:29Right?
01:29One of the old school, you know when they-
01:33Suck it on a remote controller.
01:35It's truly so, it's just very like,
01:37well first of all, you all did an exceptional job.
01:40This was like half battle, half puzzle, all danger.
01:43How did you feel going into it?
01:46Lost, I was like, what do we do?
01:49I, I, you know what was on my mind before this was,
01:52do we just, um, do I just do a pass without trace
01:57and figure it out?
01:59But, because I didn't know what we were walking into.
02:01Yeah.
02:02Because, you know, the episode before the last,
02:04we were just kind of like at the door.
02:05So I thought we were just supposed to walk past these cyclopses.
02:11Or cyclops?
02:12Cyclops.
02:12We decided as cyclops.
02:14Cyclops?
02:14Like deer?
02:15Okay.
02:15Or fish?
02:16These cyclops.
02:17I thought we were supposed to just kind of get through to them
02:19and then we were going to get to wherever Momo was.
02:22You mean get through to them, just like, just listen to us.
02:24Yeah.
02:24No, because if it was pass without trace, they wouldn't see us
02:27and we would just walk past them, but we didn't really have-
02:29That would be nice.
02:29Like Michael, we wouldn't have to use this as a great set.
02:31Yeah.
02:32Imagine all that.
02:33I know.
02:34I'm mad.
02:35Imagine.
02:36But it was, I think you did, I think everything that was done
02:39was done exactly right because there were a lot of hidden
02:43threats that you narrowly avoided here.
02:45One of them was, let's say you did try to avoid all the
02:47cyclops and not fight them.
02:49Then what was going to happen is they're going to follow you
02:51up onto the tracks as you're trying, you know, like,
02:54they're not going to let you just fly past them.
02:56They're going to try to defend the place as best they can.
02:59And if they die on the tracks, then they're blocking that
03:02track.
03:03Yeah.
03:03Yeah.
03:03That was a gag.
03:05Yeah.
03:06Yeah.
03:06I think, yeah, there were just so many things that came out
03:09like, um, Costanza.
03:10Oh, yeah.
03:11Uh, Costano.
03:12Costano.
03:13Costanza's a character from-
03:14Oh, never mind.
03:15And then the hooded woman who is revealed as-
03:18Cher.
03:19No, what's her name?
03:20The dead face.
03:21Miriam?
03:22Shira.
03:23Mysara.
03:24Where are we getting these names?
03:25Cher, you made that up.
03:26Yes.
03:27Mysara.
03:28Yeah.
03:28But like, yeah, like these two figures popping out, out of
03:31nowhere was trippy.
03:32And then this, this thug jumping in the middle and blocking this
03:36thing here.
03:37I'm a thug.
03:38Yes.
03:38The little, the little, uh, fire and ice.
03:41Oh, yeah.
03:42Me and my buddies.
03:43Yeah.
03:44Gertrude really had a different fight from everybody else.
03:46Yes, Gertrude really did.
03:48The situation going on.
03:50On her back fighting for her life.
03:53You know, going into this battle, I was thinking this was going to be pretty straightforward.
03:58I did not know that the engines were going to be a part of this.
04:01I thought the engines were going to come later.
04:03Like these things?
04:04Yeah.
04:04I didn't know they'd be part of this battle.
04:06We had to be trying to contest with that and the, uh, the people fighting us and, uh,
04:11the two people who just showed up out of nowhere and the little gremlins who hit the ground.
04:16Yeah.
04:16I have to say Miss, uh, the little lady, she is over, she's OB'd.
04:20Oh, she's quite powerful.
04:22She's, she took a breath and we were down 30 points.
04:26Oh, yeah.
04:27She's brutal.
04:28She's no joke.
04:29But she didn't, but she didn't do anything to me.
04:31Cause you were out of range.
04:32You were, you were flying.
04:33You were out of range.
04:33You were over here.
04:34Was it because of the range?
04:36You were dressed like a chair.
04:37I was actually, cause she was already talking to me, right?
04:39Cause she talked to you.
04:40She talked to me though.
04:40I want you to know, I actually kept an eye on that the whole time.
04:43And it wasn't until her very final turn that she even had line of sight to you.
04:48It was really interesting.
04:49If you had been up in the mix from the beginning,
04:51this fight might've gone very differently.
04:52She wouldn't have been kicking our asses if you'd have been over in her field of vision.
04:56In her field of vision.
04:57But because you were over here,
04:58you can see that that track blocks line of sight.
05:00If you're walking up that central hallway,
05:02you kind of can't see anything up in the air over to that side.
05:05Well, thank God she's dramatic with how slow she walks.
05:07Just the drama of like, girl.
05:09Maybe the gown's heavy.
05:10The gown's heavy.
05:12And she still got the drenched in water.
05:13Does she?
05:14I wonder if she says,
05:15Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.
05:17We'll find out.
05:18Twyla, these are your friends.
05:19You know?
05:20Uh, we felt, yeah.
05:22And she seems to be in cahoots with a man who seemed to be very dashing,
05:25but not very bright.
05:27Yes.
05:28Dapper and dashing, but not particularly intelligent.
05:30Smart as ice.
05:31Yes.
05:32You know, I'm really proud of some of the,
05:33some of the, some of the, the, the, the plays that we made here.
05:37I was really happy that I, for myself,
05:38that suggestion to make him go turn that, turn that thing.
05:41I was very proud of that one.
05:42What suggestion?
05:42Huge.
05:43When they got the, uh, the Cyclops to go turn that, uh, gear for us.
05:47Yeah, that was good.
05:48There was so, there was, there were so many incredible moves.
05:50First of all, just the amount of damage Princess put out of that fight was unbelievable.
05:56Anyway, and, and doubling Princess's size, last minute was a very smart decision.
06:01Literally.
06:01Yeah, literally huge.
06:03Uh, but also, not only did, was Princess dishing out a ton of damage, Princess was taking a ton of
06:08damage.
06:08Oh my gosh.
06:08Like, if you think about the amount of damage Princess took, given to any other character, they're out of the
06:12fight.
06:13Right.
06:13She got her ass in.
06:14She's a brick.
06:15Banana house.
06:18It was the 40 rabbits.
06:20The 40 rabbits.
06:21You know?
06:22That's a good foundation.
06:22She pre-gamed, honey.
06:24Yeah.
06:24You get that protein and you're gonna be able to get walloped by a great club a couple times.
06:27Oh yeah.
06:28And then the broth.
06:29Absolutely.
06:29The broth that everyone offered the princess.
06:33Y'all didn't even offer me the broth.
06:34Did you, did you notice how y'all didn't offer me the broth?
06:36Well, you didn't need it.
06:37You didn't need it.
06:38Why would you want it?
06:39But I could heal her too.
06:41I could've, you could've healed me first.
06:42Why did you want the broth?
06:43Why did you, you don't need it?
06:45Because there was a pho broth and I wouldn't have been a broth.
06:49She was standing in the middle of three Cyclops.
06:52You're like, you're floating in the air, but I want it.
06:55But I want the broth.
06:57No, I could've had the broth and not cured myself.
07:00And with it, if I had the broth, then I could've cured her.
07:03But her, the broth cured her more than your cure would've done.
07:06Yeah.
07:06There's also.
07:07There is no reason for you to have the broth.
07:08You're not convincing us that you should've had the broth.
07:10The broth healed her like 26.
07:11Yeah.
07:11Well, I could've healed her that many, right?
07:15I could've healed her for how many?
07:18Oh, you, no, not for 26.
07:21I don't think you could.
07:21I think the most you could do is 2d8 plus five,
07:25which is a maximum of 21.
07:27And that's with perfect rolls.
07:29How did it taste?
07:29How did it taste?
07:30I just wanna know.
07:31It was so good.
07:32See?
07:34Almost indescribable.
07:35It was salty, savory, delicious.
07:37Did you save any in your mouth for me later?
07:39No.
07:42Also, this move of getting up to the top of that tower on that nat 20 and hitting the lever
07:47and the wheel all in one turn.
07:50Soak.
07:50And then finishing off the cyclops down below.
07:53Mwah!
07:54Unbelievable.
07:55That was all one move?
07:56That was all one move.
07:57That was all one move.
07:57That's crazy.
07:59Unbelievable.
07:59It was so Gertrude to jump up, slip on the ice and just fall flat on her spine.
08:05So, so Gertrude.
08:06She's either like throwing like a blow that would just knock someone's head off or just slipping and hitting her
08:13head on something.
08:14It really is great because it feels like all of Gertrude's magic is so powerfully impressive.
08:19This hound, the hound of Illumin took down, but not prone, two of these.
08:24Basically, you know, so that princess hit overwhelmingly almost every time that she swung.
08:29But then it's like Gertrude's magic, phenomenal, incredible, mysterious, powerful.
08:34Gertrude's physical reality while casting magic, compromised.
08:38Literally.
08:39Constantly.
08:40Like, yeah, I was, I was, I was, I'm just so proud of it because I feel like we've just
08:45grown so much in this, in this, in this realm of Dungeons and Dragons.
08:49And could we have had this fight season one and one? No, we would have died.
08:54But it took season two girlies to fuck shit up and really turn it out.
08:59This was truly impressive, tactically, strategically.
09:02I think everyone worked really well together.
09:04I think you perfectly balanced the two.
09:07It's like scales, right?
09:08It's like you can't let the, you can't leave all these cyclops on the field turn after turn.
09:12They're gonna kill you.
09:13So, but you also can't take your whole time with these, like you need the dragon to wake up eventually,
09:19right?
09:19By the time, like if you hadn't have been putting effort on these different spell engines, think about having to
09:25survive another round of combat where you all were at.
09:29Yeah.
09:29So you, you balanced your objectives perfectly.
09:33And I think too, the, also, and again, it's these little things like that suggestion not only turns an engine,
09:41it takes one of your combatants out of combat for two rounds.
09:44Yeah.
09:45That net, it's like, that's just one of your attacks in a round and it completely negated the next turn
09:51for that.
09:51These things, they feel like, like in, you know, they're easy to forget in aggregate because I just go, oh,
09:56he takes the net off himself.
09:57That could have eliminated 50 damage from the combat.
10:01Yeah.
10:01So it's like, those are huge, huge moves.
10:04And that, I didn't know if that sword was gonna be a real bitch.
10:08Which sword?
10:08Yeah, this dude, this dude was the nastiest of the bunch.
10:11This sword was bad, bad.
10:12That's why I was like, we gotta send him away.
10:14Yeah.
10:14Yeah.
10:15This guy was bad news, man.
10:17I don't think he got to do a single hit.
10:18He didn't do a single hit.
10:20Did not do a single hit.
10:21You can tell, he's the only guy who bothered to shave out of these guys.
10:24He cares about his appearance.
10:26I will say, in terms of being a villainous DM, you were all very, very careful about telling me where
10:32to place you.
10:33Uh huh.
10:34We did learn a few things about you today, Brandon.
10:37Yes, except for that one time where you strategically didn't say anything.
10:40You're like, oh, that's a cool constraint.
10:42Well, you strategically put yourself there.
10:43Well, because I thought I was giving it my all.
10:46I couldn't even see it.
10:47You were.
10:47It was incredibly cool.
10:49It was also out of my field.
10:49So when I gleefully put this spider ball in there.
10:53Hold on.
10:53You know who saw the whole time, though?
10:56I did.
10:56Princess.
10:57It's literally right there.
11:00I was staring at it like, yes, let's do this.
11:03So ready for dragon to come awake.
11:05Yes.
11:07Oh, yeah.
11:08Sorry.
11:09Truly.
11:09Well, that was the thing, too, is I was watching it and I was like,
11:12because I saw Treyann there and I was like, okay, Bob, let's put that in.
11:15And I was just waiting for someone to scream like, wait, wait, wait, wait,
11:18before you do anything.
11:19And I just, but then it suddenly it was rolling, rolling, rolling.
11:23But this battlefield, I mean, we have to shout out the art department.
11:26Yeah, absolutely.
11:29Our ice temple today was constructed by Kelsey Hunter, Amber Padgett, Jesse Heron, Dyleen
11:34Jimenez, and Aaron Key.
11:36Our dragon made by Greg Pinsano, Pia Octenogen, and Sean Burkett.
11:43Our miniatures by Shane Brockway.
11:45And our projections by Derek Christensen, Ruby O'Brien, and Jack Spoon.
11:48Yeah, shout out.
11:49Unbelievable stuff.
11:50The light changing fire and the engines was really inspired, truly inspired.
11:56The dragon's hands coming out, the movement, the vaping.
12:01Unbelievable.
12:02Bernie, you see, so one of my friends asked me to come play this on his
12:04Marshall's coffee table.
12:06Right.
12:07In Valley.
12:07You understand why I say no?
12:09Because I have this experience.
12:11Right now.
12:12We're snobs.
12:12We're snobs.
12:13I know, we're Dungeons and Dragons.
12:14We're snobs.
12:15You will be spoiled.
12:17I mean, even for myself, because I'll like, you know, I have family members that are like,
12:20you know, like, so what do you do for a living?
12:22And I'm like, well, I do this.
12:23And they'll be like, could we play?
12:25And I'm like, of course, I'll come run a game.
12:26And I show up with, you know, Mancala beads and like a rollout dry erase mat.
12:33And they're like, this isn't like the show.
12:35And I was like, well, the show has the greatest, like, mini artists and set designers of all time working
12:40on it.
12:40Exactly, yeah.
12:41So they're for hire if you want to bring them.
12:43If you want the experience, pay for the experience, honey.
12:49And looking at this beautiful artistry here, too.
12:52And even like, just down to, even as this, like, I knew that this was the construction of the battle.
12:57But these little levers with the chutes to make the gremlins at the end.
13:00Like, all of that got added at like the last minute.
13:03And it was just so beautiful.
13:04Which made it extra complex, because I didn't know your guys' tactics.
13:09So I was like, oh, maybe there's a world where they can't make it all the way to an engine.
13:14And because that was something I knew was going to be heartbreaking, was if one of the cold ones made
13:20its way down, it would erase one of the fire ones that had gotten in.
13:23And that feeling of like going from four to three and suddenly being two away again.
13:28Like, so I was like, okay, the levers are also a cool thing that if one of them is still
13:32icy, you can maybe just move that one.
13:34And it's not going to get added to the pool.
13:37And throw an ice goblin at Gertie.
13:39Yeah.
13:40She can handle it.
13:41And they only attach you.
13:42Oh yeah, only Gertie and each other.
13:45Yes, Gertie and each other, the fire and ice little gremlins attacking each other.
13:51We had, oh, Trom and Brom.
13:56Our double-headed cyclops.
13:59Yet another, it's like another false start in Princess's story.
14:02There was some flirtation here, but it looks like.
14:04Hey, Trom and Brom.
14:06Will I ever find love?
14:07The double-headed cyclops.
14:08Where did we meet them before?
14:09Did we meet them before?
14:10Oh, okay.
14:12Well, I'd say everyone is always hitting on fucking Twyla and Princess.
14:16Well, for obvious reasons.
14:17Well, for obvious reasons.
14:18Yeah, we're hot.
14:20A hot goblin monster.
14:22Well, you know what, I'm trying to think.
14:25The last social encounter that we were in was that party.
14:27There were maybe some suitors there.
14:29There was a certain clock gnome baroness.
14:32Yeah, who just got her feelings hurt.
14:34Who just got her feelings hurt.
14:35Gertrude swoops in, makes a move.
14:38Gertrude just got friends.
14:40Let's ease in with the friends.
14:41Then we'll start doing romance later down the line.
14:43I think Gertrude might be a little asexual.
14:46It's all new.
14:48I love it.
14:49I love it.
14:50What do we think about Mysara coming in at the end here?
14:53It seemed that there were two points of confusion.
14:55Constano seemed generally confused.
14:58He was just not even sure what he was necessarily doing
15:01in this space.
15:02Mysara, I think, assumed that you were here to slay the dragon,
15:07but certainly did not take a lot of time to figure out
15:11what you were up to up until Princess was able to convince her
15:13at the very, very end to cease her reckless assault.
15:19When we come back, we have a free Mofandrix.
15:23We have this Mysara of the Fae here.
15:26What do you think your first priorities are
15:27getting back in the next episode?
15:30Well, we gotta talk to Mofandrix and to Mysara
15:32and see if indeed we are all on the same page.
15:37We are, because she talked to me.
15:40So I think I would be the one to go speak with her
15:43with my little Italian friend.
15:47Constano.
15:48Constano.
15:48How quickly is Spole forgotten?
15:51How quickly is our little ice fairy?
15:53Oh, no, no, no, no.
15:53Spole's always here.
15:55I'm just using Constano.
15:57I see.
15:58Yes, yes, yes.
15:59Damn, poor Constano.
16:00Well, he won't know.
16:01He's too dumb.
16:02Yeah.
16:03He is dumb.
16:03He won't know.
16:05We also met our sweet hound of ill omen here.
16:08Yes.
16:09What a good boy.
16:10Our adorable little Pucci.
16:11Little Pucci who can only appear to say one thing,
16:13which is my work here is done.
16:15Very limited vocabulary.
16:17Very, very limited.
16:19Ah, that was just such an exceptional, exceptional fight,
16:22everyone.
16:22It was just, ah.
16:24Those cyclopses coming down, taking all that damage.
16:26And again, just like restraining and that hunter's mark
16:29and all the damage coming in.
16:30We saw Buddy Bear back as well.
16:32Yes.
16:33Which is lovely, too.
16:35And I think that when we come back,
16:36we'll be diving right into the results of this.
16:39My Phantrix just bitten the head off of a cyclops.
16:42Maybe we'll go into some rest.
16:43Maybe a nice long rest.
16:45We need it, girl.
16:45To restore ourselves or something.
16:47My world is nursing.
16:47Do we come back with full restoration?
16:49Oh, no.
16:50You gotta rest, girl.
16:51Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:52You gotta rest first.
16:53So if things were to go sideways for some reason,
16:56you would not be in a great place to be able to handle.
16:58So don't talk crazy to my Sarah.
17:01Mind your station.
17:02What was the one thing you said and then Brennan was like,
17:04nope, you said it is canon.
17:05We were just like.
17:06Oh, the wheel.
17:07Turn the wheel.
17:08Oh, well, got it.
17:09On it.
17:10No.
17:12It's already happening.
17:13So I'm gonna need you to tell me what to say.
17:18Verbatem.
17:20Gorgeous.
17:21Well, we'll find out exactly what gets said
17:22and what gets done when we return next week
17:24on another thrilling episode of Dimension 20.
17:26Dungeons and Drag Queens.
17:28We'll see you there.
17:35Bye.
17:37Bye.
17:46Bye.
