Critical Role, Campaign 3 Episode 115

Sing? Really? Oh gods ... wait ... oh no ... really, he is THE LAST PERSON who should have one of these things ... oh yeah, give it to Robbie ... YEAH, that's moe like it ... no, give it back, Samuel! Yes. That's better ... by the gods this is a mad skit and I'm not surprised Marisha's got gigantic giggles ... XD ... oh my ... SHE'S gettign a go? The one cast member who CAN'T sing? Interesting ... LOL

MattL "We're professionals!" Yes .. you are ...

Wait ... what's going on with Ashley and Marisha? Is that a bit for Matt's plug? It's a bit random since they're both OFFSCREEN for it ...

Der Katzenprinz? Awwwwwwwwww ... it's real! :3

Back with Bells Hell and the Mighty Nein, then ... so we're reeling things back an hour or two ... which is about right ... "dicks out?" Really?

Fjord's sensitive nipples ... that's adorable. He's the most feared pirate in allf Exandria, folks! XD

Less illusions, more projections ... yeah, exactly, Imogen. Oh yeah ... Snowcone Ludinus, yeah ...

The confusion begins ... oh yeah, I've been looking forward to more of this ... LOL ... meanwhile Matt's just enjoying sitting back and WATCHING ...

Ah yes, where DO the Nein stand on the subject of the gods?

"Trent Ikithon"? Don't invoke that name, Fjord! Don't trigger the Dirt Wizard!

Caduceus: "So you're feeling confident because you've fought two snowmen?"

Just make Fearne an egg already, Chet!

A Message to Ludinus? I mean honestly, one of Jester's Messages would probably be a major headache for him, so I could actually get behind that idea ... XD

Rashinna! Hi! She's here, it's time, then ...

Ooooh, bombs ... yay! That should be fun. Explosives are always fun.

So ... is that like some funky cool grapple gun? That's pretty sweet ...

Wow ... Gaz really is like the Johnny Bravo of Ruidus, isn't he?

Nott wants to be close to "the big boom" ... well yes, she would ... I love this little pyromaniac ... if she shouts "Fluffernutter!" just before she blows it up that'll just be the icing on the cake ... XD

Don't eat the slime, Beau! It's not for eating ...

Trying to decide who can just fly up and who needs a little help ...

Fjord: "You hear that, Nott? Braius is going down." Veth: "Don't even tempt me! Big strong man ..."

"Lunchies"? Wow ... Gaz, man ...

Ah, so tea and ... something more? Hmmmmmm ...

A toast? Go for it, Dorian. "Please don't die, and down the hatch." Attaboy ...

Ruidian cheese dreams ... I love that so much ... XD ... yeah, please let Gaz survive this so someday he can have some cheese ...

Braius wanting Chetney to CHISEL R.T.A. on him when Jester has actual TATTOO EQUIPMENT ... LOL

Caleb thinks the Hells are even more insane than the Nein... that is a crazy compliment, definitely ...

:3 ... awwwwwwww ... Imogen and Laudna are as cute as ever ... I really am hoping they're gonna make it through this shit ... yeah, please let them get that little cottage they dream of ...

Yasha ... silently judging Veth for mooning over Braius ... I love it ... the question about Yahsa and Beau's marrital status ... so ... they're still not sure what it is? Hmmmm ... Marish: "Wait! Dani says we're married!" Oh boy ... LOL

Lots and lots of sex. This is apparently Yasha's secret to their longevity ... of course it is ...

Did Veth just ask Yasha if she was up for a foursome? O.O

Yes. Beau WOULD be a great mother. It's bizarre, but very true ...

Marriage at TravelerCon? Oh yeah, that sounds PERFECT ... yeah, all the wedding planning is just THE BEST PART of this episode so far ... which after all the Yasha/Veth sex-talk is definitely saying something ... XD

Gaz tries honey for the first time ... O.O ... wow ...

Oh ... so that's it, then? Time to start ... hmmmm ... and potentially a big goodbye for both parties ...

Caduceus: "When the time comes ... go with what feels kind." Oh ... yes. Definitely ...

Let Laudna have the Raven Mask. PLease. As much to stop the squeekiness, really ...

Yes. Give Ashton an hour of Psychic protection. That would be really helpful ... wait ... Chetney has NEGATIVE ONE for Wisdom? Fucking hell ...

Oh, so she just FAKES IT? That's hilarous ...

A last quick moment with Dorian and Orym? Oh ... THEY'RE KISSING?!!! THEY'RE KISSING!!! THEY'RE FUCKING KISSING!!! TEN SECONDS OF KISSING!!! IT'S HAPPENING!!! Oh dear ... sorry Braius ... oops ...

Fucking hell ... are Ashton and Fearne REALLY about to take a massive amount of mushrooms right before they go into the most desperate fight ot their life? O.O

Fucking hell, Sam! How many of those do you even HAVE?!!!

Caleb and Imogen bonding ... yeah, they really do seem like such a good friendship fit ... :3

It's going all red ... and a screech? A strange screech? Is Imogen getting trapped in a dream? Oh fuck, that's exactly what it is ... Liliana! Oh fuck, is it all going off already? Not good ... he knows? Oh fuck ... that's so bad ... wait ... WHAT?!!! What's happening to her? Matt Mercer don't you fucking DARE!!! Oh fuck ... is she gonna be with her for as long as she can in what's clearly her final moments? Fuck ...

A HARNESS?!!! He's funnelling her? NO!!! NOOOOOO!!!

And NOW he calls a break? Matt Mercer you EVIL BASTARD!!!

While all that's happening we're off with the Nein instead ... damn it! And back with the old seating arrangement! Cool! But no Robbie? Not quite so cool ...

Seeming is still up? Okay, then ... smart ...

Group deception check? First fresh roll as the Nein ... okay, it's been a little while ... looks like we all have to get back to remembering the old stats ... and Ashley's RIGHT back on the classic dice behavour already ...

Crap ... are they running into difficulty ALREADY?

Bluffing time ... Deception check! Oof ... here we go, then ... so ... that worked, then? Phew ...

And now they're being followed ... bollocks ... so then that DIDN'T work, then ... hmmmmmm ...

Invoke Duplicity! Oh nice ... yeah, it's been a while ... :3

Nice ... so THAT distraction worked. Great work, Jester.

Sneaky sneaky ...

Aha ... so this place seems like what we're headed for ... yup. we're here. The Arx Creonum ...

So they're going IN then ... oh, a friend? Somebody on the inside, then ... yeah, looks like they're pulling it off, then ...

Wow ... gods, she was so young then ... :3

Okay, so now it's time to finally work out what they're gonna do with the climb ... is Beau gonna go so some more Cool Monk Shit? Let her Naruto Run along the cable ...

Veth casts Spiderclimb ... cool ...

Beau's still spicy about Veth shooting her in the arse after seven years ... XD

THat's a lott of BOOM, Gaz ... and now he's sort of quoting The Goonies ...

Meanwhile Fjord and Jester are doing the whole Superman and Lois thing ... LOL

Think light thoughts, guys ... and yeah, a little Guidance would be helpful too. Thanks, Jester ...

Veth gets a MATCHING OUTFIT for the infiltration? Cool ... yeah, she's on the DEMO TEAM ... O.O ... extra cool ...

The bird flips the bird ...

The assault has begun! Laura: "It has begin!"

Climbing time for the demo team, then ... okay, well that went surprisingly well ... the lines are now secure. Step one is a success ... Spiderclimb!

Ring of Spell Splitting, plus Death Ward? Nice ...

Veth totally showing up everybody else as they go up ... XD

STEALTH CHECK!!!

Safe arrival, then ... all going well so far ... what's next, then?

Finding a prime spot for the bombs, then ... Investigation check! Okay ... planting the bombs ... c'mon Veth, this is what you're really good at ... no Spiderclimb lasts an HOUR, you're fine ...

Lighting the fuse ... here we go ... HIDE!!! TAKE COVER!!!

They've been spotted? Crap ... IS THAT a problem right now? Oh, guess not ... BOOM!!!

A THIRD OF THE BUILDING starts to fall away? Holy fuck ... O.O

Time for the rest of them to make the cli8mb too, then ... all at once! Get to it, guys!

Evasion for ZERO DAMAGE? Sweet. "Rogues are back in style!" XD

Seven rounds to ascend? Crap ... what's gonna happen in the interrim?

Beau is DASHING it ... this is gonna be SPECTACULAR ... so she can clear it in FOUR rounds ... which means 4 Acrobatics checks ... roll well, Marisha! 17 for the third one? Oh fuck ... that's BARELY enough ... wait ... is Veth SERIOUSLY gonna electroshock Beau right now? O.O Caleb Bird sighs SO HEAVILY ... so the DC is now TWENTY ... oh fuck ... Sam fucking Riegel, the classic chaos gremlin ... oh wow ... yeah, she just GRINDS THAT FUCKER with her staff ... that is just AWESOME ...

Gods I love these two so much, they're both so petty ... XD

Meanwhile how do everybody else get on? Starts smooth ... but now they've been spotted ... crap ... this complicates things ... and now they're being pelted with stuff ... SPEARS?!!! Seriously? Crap ... O.O ... shit ... did Laura really rol a THREE?!!! Crap ... and now she's just had her harness cut away ... FUCK!!! And now Jester is FALLING ...

Ashley rolls a ONE when Yasha tries to grab her ... so Fjord just goes after her instead! Of course he does ... so romantic ... but that adds an EXTRA ROUND to the whole mess ... crap!

Oh for fuck's ... ANOTHER shit roll? So bad ... Ashley strikes again ... and now YASHA'S harness is starting to go too ... shit! Grab that hook, girl! Nope, she's falling too ... yeah, Caleb just swoops for her ... and NOW she's starting to Rage ...

Fuck ... yeah, he JUST catches her in time ... and now they're under fire ... a giant eagle has 26 hit points? Bloody hell ... O.O ... that was almost SO BAD ...

Taliesin rolls a ONE ... oh sweet fuck ... and now CADUCEUS is plummetting too ... crap ... so Jester casts Polymorph on him ... she turns him into a giant dire-beetle ... with a Dacuceus face? Wow ... that's just PURE nightmate fuel ... but he is now flying again ...

Okay, so ... they made it, then? Finally ... and it was a TOTAL MESS the whole way ...

Great ... so now they have to make MORE checks to climb up the side of the structure ...

Oh okay ... Battlemap time? Here we go, then ... fuck, this shit looks REALLY HAIRY ...

"HELLO BEEEEEEES!!!"

ROLL INITIATIVE!!!

Beau clambers up onto the wall and runs along the top to try and get past them, while being as tauntingly annoying as possible ... hmmm ... then she goes on the ATTACK!!! POP POP!!! Oh, I have missed this ... Stunning Strike! Yay! But they resist ... crap ... Patience Defence!

Caleb tries to swoop as close as he can to the big blasted opening in the hope to just TOSS Yasha into it ... nice ...

Caduceus buzzes to the nearest platform and hides, ready for the next move ...

Yasha picks herself up and starts climbing the wall ... then she throws her recently acquired spear at one of Beau's foes ... oh yeah, 29 DEFINITELY hits ...

One of the Shrikes shoots his glass cannon at her ... yeah, that's a miss. Phew ... quite a wake-up call, though ... another one takes a shot ... ALSO misses ... thirs one HITS though ... oof ... it definitely hurts, but she's able to shrug it off ... then the closest to Beau takes a shot, that misses ... but the next hits her! Crap! She burns a Ki point and just manages to grab the shot and throw it back! Nice ... CRACK!!! And he fails his save ... 2 D8 Psychic damage? Nice ...

Jest holds her action while waiting to get closer ... holding Darkness? Okay ...

Crap ... Yasha's taking hits ... but she's a Barbarian so she just BOSSES her way through it ... nice ... Telekinetic Combo? Boooo! Thankfully she's able to shrug THAT off too ... meanwhile Beau's taking some pretty nasty hits too ... oof ... crap, it knocks her RIGHT BACK to the wall ...

Armoured feskuls? Crap! Sam: "Can't this game just be roleplay and no combat?"

Fjord touches down with Jester on the nearest ledge, and she casts Darkness to give Yasha and Beau some cover ... nice! Meanwhile he casts Hex on the juggernaut fighting Beau. Then he throws some Eldritch Blasts at him! Ballsy ... Even with the Darkness he manages to hit with ALL THREE!!! Also nice ... oh yeah, that's A WHOLE FUCKLOAD of damage in one round there ...

The Blade Baron uses his Blade Storm to start swiping at Yasha ... crap! EIGHT D10 Slashing damage? Fuck ... that's nasty ... thank fuck she's Raging ...

Gaz arrives! Phew ... he flubs his entrance, but he's there now, at least ...

Veth rushes to join her friends ... and fires her Aeorean Security Cannon into the Darkness, hoping she doesn't hit Beau (or at least that's what she SAYS) ... 39 points of damage? Wow ...

Beau bolts out of the Darkness and makes for the gap ... oh, that is pretty sweet! Yeah, do that ... if you can take this Hulk out in one deft move ... OH SHIT she actually PULL IT OFF!!! That's so beautiful ... yeah, he's just PLUMMETTING to his death now ... that's a proper sweet fucking move, Beau!

Caleb curves around the edge and swoops down to Caduceus, and that's about it ... hmmmm ...

Caduceus casts Guidance on him, and also that's about it ...

Flashbacks of Aeor? Yeesh ...

Yasha has to try and slip past to make it to the edge ... so she just decides to take a swing at him instead. Reckless Rage! Yes ... that's a hit! Yeah! And another! Ooooh, Dvine Fury? Nice ... that.s 43 on one hit ... second's another 19 ... now she tries to shimmy by ... and she MANAGE IT!!! Yes ... she's free to fully disengage so she jumps down and makes her way down towards Caleb and Caduceus ...

The Shrike tries to shoot at Veth ... second shot hits the mark ... ouch ... thanks to Uncanny Dodge she shrugs off the worst ot it ... and she doesn't suffer any ll effects either ... phew ...

The two Polymorphed folk are now taking fire ... POP!!! Yup, now Caleb has been BATTERED back to human form ... and the rest of the damage hurts too ... but both shots as Ceduceus just miss him entirely ...

Jester casts a Guiding Bolt at 2nd Level and chucks it at the feskul ... and MISSES!!! Shit ... that's so frustrating ...

Juggernaut faceplant! Nice ...

Shit! Spotted! Now they're under fire again ... Caleb and Yasha takes some more hits ... and here come the feskuls! Aaaaaaaaahh! Oh, that is NASTY!!! Fjord and Jester take some hits too ... the other goes for Veth ... and she gets BIT!!! Nasty ... 32 points of Piercing damage? FUCK!!!

Hexblade's Curse! Fjord hurls them at the juggernaut ... pow! And it just FALL OFF THE EDGE!!! Nice ... he shifts the Hex to the feskul, then fires some Eldritch Blasts at it ... second hits! BOOM!!! Prmanently reduced AC? That's pretty sweet. Finally they land on the ledge next to Beau.

The Blade Baron sets in on Gaz ... oh man ... PLEASE make it through, big guy! Thankfully Matt rolls absolute BALLS so he gets through JUST FINE ... so the Baron just FLEES?!!! XD Oh my gods ...

Gaz goes right after him and just starts POUNDING on him ... oh yeah, he just KEEPS ON HITTING HIM!!! Nice ... That's 66 points of damage he unloads on him ... and that's IT for the Baron! Beautiful ...

Veth just BOOKS IT and makes a flat out DASH right past the remaining foes ... who manage to MISS her ... phew ... then she jumps down and makes a PERFECT landing right onto the juggernaut ... instantly blinding him ... very nice ...

Beau attacks while he's blinded ... POP POP!!! Juggernaut's hurt, but still in it ...

Caleb chucks a Fireball into his nuts ... and ENGULFS HIM!!! Nice ... Claeb grabs hold of Veth and pulls her away as the burning enemy plunges over the edge ... nice ...

Okay, time to head into the tunnels, then ... Beau dumps a bunch of ball-bearings behind them as they go.

Fjord and Jester are the only 0ones left out there, along with Gaz ... hmmm ... meanwhile they're still taking fire ... oof ... yeah, they're getting hurt, but hanging in there ...

Jester jumps down and SLIPS ON THE BEARINGS!!! Fuck ... yeah, she bruises her butt when she goes down ... oof ...

The feskul tries to attack Gaz ... it starts snapping at him, but doesn't influct much damage on him in the end. The other swoops on Fjord, but he's able to fend it off ...

Fjord throws some Eldritch Blasts at it, and two hit ... yeah, one's a CRIT!!! Nice ... yeah, that's some serious damage, and he blasts it right out of the sky. He follows the others and now they're all together ...

Just Gaz left, then ... he manages to disengage and jumps across too, JUST manages to avoid the bearings and now he's with the rest of them. He turns to cover their entry, leaving them to head on inside.

Jester gives him the rest of her honey before she goes. Snd he calls her "Honey Miss!" Awwwwwwwwww ... :3

Yeah, that's a good place to call it a night. Is it Thursday yet?

Critical Role, Campaign 3 Episode 118

Friends? From the zoo? Oh my gods Sam what are you unleashing upon us? Oh! Hi! Awwwwwww ... wow, that is one ENTHUSIASTIC boy ... Bandit is ADORABLE ... OH MY GODS TEDDY IS SOOOOOO PRECIOUS!!! :3 ... "Thorym"? Oh ... okay ... I think I get it now ... I was hoping for a snake or something like that, though ... I wanted Robbie to freak out a little bit ... that would'vbe been the fitting end to this bit ...

Oh, is that it? Okay ... just straight into it, then ...

Another FIVE HOUR EPISODE ... oof ... this is going to be yet more crippling stress, isn't it?

Ah yes ... the myceit culture of Ruidus ... I remember, it's making me think of the Kombucha mushroom people in Sugar by System of a Down ... or maybe I'm just projecting ...

Ludinus ... you smug c£$% ... I hate him so much ... somebody just annihilate him on the spot, please?

Chetney? Whatcha doin'?

He just goes ON AND ON AND ON ... am I alone in just zoning out for half of that waffle?

Fearne, you worry me sometimes ... I'm never really sure if you're actually joking ...

Is he really giving us his oh-so-traumatised origin story right now? Ludinus: "YOU ... KNOW ... NOTHING OF MY MOTHER." Laudna: "Oooh ... did I hit a button?"

Looks like Braius just blanked on most of it just like the rest of us ... oh, Marisha gets whispers? Already? Oooooooooh ...

Ah Ashton, we love you. Never change ...

"She Who Sits Beyween Many Thrones"? Fearne? Really? He's really pulling out the serous rizz right now ... meanwhile her response is SO classic Calloway ... yeah, what IS SHE doing here? XD

Fearne: "I'm very curious, and if the World IS going to burn I want a front-row seat."

Wow ... the balls on this man to even TRY to engage Orym in conversation ...

Dorian cuts through the bullshit ... of course this guy's way too far gone to really appreciate it ... and now he's gicing FEARNE a crisis of confidence? Oops ...

Yes. Good point. What ARE YOU going to do about the man in the box right now?

And now we're checking on Chet ... oh boy ... so ... is he essentially SPELUNKING right now? Hmmmm ... "golden geometry"? Oh ... oh CRAP ... I have a very uncomfortable feeling about what THAT could be ... O.O

DO NOT TOUCH THE FREAKY GLOWY GOLDEN THING, Chetney! Serously ...

Liam: "Did Chet invent POGs?" Oh boy ...

He touched it. Fuck's sake, Chet ... he can't not touch ...

Oh fuck and now he's CHISELLING IT ... O.O ... dear sweet FUCK, Chetney! You mad bastard ...

"The mark of Predathos"? Yeesh ...

Misty Step? Right while he's in mid-monologue? XD ... Imogen, I love you so much ... oh, so NOW he's trying something? Crap ... is he OUT?!!! O.O

Oh, you mean the colour out of space?

Braius is PRAYING right now? Hmmmmm ... oh,m so he's GRAFITTI-ing all over the place ... lovely ... which god IS HE asking for Guidance right now?

LEAVE THE TABLE?!!! REALLY?!!! What the actual? This is NOT A GOOD SIGN ...

So it's just Sam on his own ... this is making me SO NERVOUS ... he's asking THE LORD OF LIES? Oh boy ... O.O

Wow ... Asmodeus was clearly a theatre kid when he was small ... oh my, he's a PRETTY ONE isn't he?

Oof ... watch what you say, Braius ... sounds like you're walking on perilously thin ice right now ...

Braius, are you full-on BULLSHITTING your god right now?

Oh shit, it's worse ... he's actually proper drunk the kool-aid ... great ... this feels like so much bad shit right now ...

Yeah, I think that boy's planning on just full-on BETRAYING US right now ... great ... that's not good at all ...

Where IS everybody? O.O

So now EVERYBODY'S going into the tunnel? Oh, EXCEPT FOR Laudna? Hmmmmm ... so what, is she ONTO HIM already? We'll never know ...

Balls, he's already there!

Psychic Lance? GO OFF IMOGEN!!! Yeah! AND Chetney did try to boobytrap his arse, too ... didn't work, but still, it was worth a try ...

Earth Bind? Yeah, go for it, Fearne ... AND HE'S STUCK!!! Yeah! Go off girl ... or not ... hmmm ... damn game mechanics ... O.O

Yank that staff, Orym! Go for it!

Go to break? ALREADY?!!! Never a good sign ... what are you planning, Mercer? O.O

They come back to ... OH BALLS ANOTHER BATTLEMAP AND ITS TERRIFYING!!! Not good ... oh, this place looks like a whole HEAP of trouble right now ... we're in DEEP SHIT ...

ROLL FOR INITIATIVE!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

Orym rushes in to try and yank away the staff with Seedling ... oh, okay, so they're essentially WRESTLING for this shit right now ... roll shite please, Mercer ... YES!!! Nicely done, Wee Man! Now what, then? That's all he can do ... but that was AWESOME already ...

Chetney wolfs out AGAIN ... and takes out Turmoil, slaces his leg for some lightning and casts SHATTER on the old bitch! Nice ... Half damage? Balls ... but it's a start ... POW!!!

Ludinus turna around ... oh yeah, yet more of his bitchy villain posturing ... Dunamancy? Shite ... a NINTH LEVEL RAVENOUS VOID?!!! Laura (exasperated): "MATTHEW!!!"

Travis: "We've got this, guys. The two melee guys are handling it." Liam: "He's kicking our asses with MATH!!!" Travis )Poiting at Matt): "Don't smirk so much, your dimples are KILLING US!!!"

So basically THE WHOLE MAP is a living nightmare of impending DEATh right now? Great ... O.O

Braius tries to move in as close as he can ... which isn't much ... so he tries to Inspire Laudna? Awwww ... he casts Silence around Ludinus? Nice ... I mean it would definitely SHUT HIM UP ... except the bitch COUNTERSPELLS?!!! BUt Laudna Counterspells his Counterspell? Go off, Spell-Sniper ... Matt GETS OUT THE BOOK ... wow, it's SERIOUS now ... O.O ... good lord, Matt has been HUMBLED now ... beautiful, I do LOVE TO SEE IT ...

Matt says "Fuck AI!" As he should ...

Laudna is IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING VOID!!! Oh my fucking godfs this is so fucking bad right now ... balls ... aaaaaaahh!!! But she can still take her turn ... hmmm ... Form of Dread? Yeah ... regain some hit-points! She fires off THREE Eldritch blasts ... at disadvantage? Balls ... wow, she has SO FEW OPTIONS vailable to her right now ... first one misses ... second one ALSO misses ... oh, atleast the LAST ONE hits ... KA-BOOSH!!! Oh, and she hits a SPECIAL SPOT?!!! Oh sweet ... so she inflicts EXTRA DMAGE!!! Yeah ... O.O ... 26 Necrotic damage, BEE-YATCH!!!

Ashton ALSO gets dragged into the vortex ... balls ... but he could help HER break free ... okay, then ... first of HE RAGES!!! Full Rainbow Sparkles ... nice ... STRENGTH CHECK!!! Since he has advantage ... he STILL fails ... oof ... yeah, that's basically FUCKED ...

Dorian ... oh yeah, it's like some ridiculous farce right now ... yeah, HE IS ALSO now stuck in the swirling black toilet bowl ... oh, Dimension Door? That could work ... okay, so are they all OUT again? Please? Wow, now it's time for yet MORE in-game mathematics ... O.O ... oh thank fuck that actually WORKED ... and some Inspiration ... okay, then ...

Ludinus DOES NOT NEED to be able to speak to cast? Matthew! How could you? He casts a 6th Level Lightning Bolt ... balls ... which he chucks at Chetney and Orym ... who are JUST out of range ...phew ...

Laura rolls a NATURAL 20 and the table LOSES THEIR COLLECTIVE SHIT!!! Oh nice ... yeah, Imogen IS NOT dragged int the shitter ... so she edges around the best she can, then uses a Sorcery Point to double her range for a MInd Sliver ... which he just SHRUGS OFF?!!! Bollocks ...

Fearne gets dragged in ... GODS DAMN IT!!! But at least she pressed right up against Ashton, so it's not SO BAD ... XD ... oh, is Mister in here with them? Hmmmm ... balls ... yeah, he is too ... nuts ... okay, can they at least Dimension Door out, then? Okay, this got all kinds of complicated ... so ... ASHTON is out, while Fearne's at least able to crawl out ... this should be interesting ... oh, Scorching Ray? Yeah, do that! Fifth Level? Wow ... that's SIX seperate attack! Nice ... so that;s THREE hits! Sweet ... AND she hits the sweet spot TOO so she gets additional Necrotic damage in! Yeah ... O.O

Orym is ALSO dragged into the hole ... oof ... so he just LETS GO OF THE STAFF which is BEAUTIFUL as it just gets SUCKED DOWN into it ... now he tries to fight his way out of it ... great ... this is SUCKING SO MANY BALLS right now ...

Chetney manages to keep his footing! Yeah ... so he rocks up to Ludinus and casts Blood Curse of the Muddles Mind at him ... oh, that is NICE ... and now he's IN MELEE£ with him! Yeah ... so he just starts swinging with Turmoil! First hit misses, second JUST misses too ... balls ...

Ludinus throws a MInd Sliver at him ... FUCK!!!

Bollocks ... he's starting to break through already ... O.O

CHetney: "I always like being on the cusp of the tug!" Matt: "Yeah, I walked into that one."

Braius resists the pull of the void ... he moves as well as he can within his range, then casts a 4th Level Moonbeam at him ... success? Balls ... so half damage ... nuts ... then he Inspires Fearne ...

Laudna crabs her way around the edge the best she can, then gets Pate out tells him to go latch onto the node on the back of Ludinus' neck like a leech ... wow, this is gonna be SO COMPLICATED and has so little chance of succeeding ... O.O ... Shocking Grasp? That could be so awesome ... he just has to MAKE IT ... oh boy this is so tense ... oh fuck yes 35 DEFINITELY hits ... yes ... he's on that bad bitch like a FUCKING TICK!!! Pate's humping away now while Laudna pumps all the Shocking power she can into him ... bah! Fucking Legendary Resistance ... nice big damage AND she makes him lose SIX SPELL SLOTS!!! YEAH!!!

Yuck! THat is NASTY Matt! And now Pate's just been spiked into the rock as he throw him off ...

Thankfully Ashton is JUST outside of the pull ... so he justy slides through the ground to get to Laudna ...

Coriolis is in the pit? Bollocks ...

Dorian glides and up round the best he can, then slings a 5th Level Lightning Bolt at Ludinus ... KRAKOOM!!! And he loses concentration! Yes! Nice one, Blud Boy!

Imogen goes tumbling into the void! Crap ... so he's out of her best range ... okay, she doubles her range with a Sorcery Point and throws a 5th Level Lightning Bolt at him ... another success! Nuts ... half damage, then ...

Ludinus casts Chain Lightning? Oh you evil fucker ... oh fuck, Pate is now DUST!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!

Wait ... Ira's here? Oh nice! The Nightmare King is here! Yes! Beautiful! Perfect timing ... Nightmare Form? Oh that's just ... charming ... Laudna approves! He scuttles up as close as he can and casts Steel Wind Strike? Nice ... oh that ifs fucking SICK!!! That's 6 D10 Force damage DOUBLED!!! 72 Points of Force Damage! Sexy ...but Ludinus has ONE MORE Legendary Resistance ... bollocks ...

Ludinus breaks through another boundary? Shit ... and Telekinetic Shove against Chetney? Boo ...

Braius moves Moonbeam further in to keep hitting Ludinus ... then backs up so he can help the others if needed ... and Inspired Imogen while he;s at it ...

Laudna scuttles round a bit more, then Hexes him before throwing another three Eldritch Blasts at him ... first misses ... second misses ... FUCK!!! All three shots MISS him! Balls ...

Ashton surges up for him and aims for the node ... "Swing away Merrill!" Holy shit, 34 DEFINITELY hits! Wow, where di THAT dice go? Laura: "It got sucked into your penis!" Yeah, Laura just COMPLETELY derails the game for a few minutes ... LOL ... but yeah, he inflicts some significant damage indeed! Nice ... oh nice, CONCENTRATION FAILURE!!! YES!!! Ravenous Void is GONE!!! FINALLY!!! Oh yeah, another hit! Nice ... POW!!!

Ludinus dumps Chain Lightning again in his frustration ... oh hello, COUNTERSPELL!!! Nice, Laudna ... but Ludinus Counterspells HER Counterspell? Balls ... oh yeah, that all hurts SO MUCH ...

Dorian flies up directly over him and then drops right down into melee with him ... VERY CAREFULLY to avoid Moonbeam ... oof, that's risky ... and starts laying into him with his sword! Okay ... A HIT!!! A VERY PALPABLE HIT!!! Ooooh, Blade Flourish? Nice ... and it's DOUBLED ... more nice ... nother swing, this time for the node ... bugger, that doesn't make it ... but he gets a third attack through Dual Wielding ... okay ...

Ludinus is FUCKED right now ... anything they do to him has SO MUCH ADVANTAGE ... oh, this is going to be AMAZING ...

Ira dumps a 5th Level Steel Wind Strike into him ... oh fuck me that is INCREDIBLE ... yeah, he is gonna do SO MUCH DAMAGE here ... time for Matt to do SO MUCH dice maths ... Ira inflicts 74 points or damage in a single strike ... and he loses SO MANY spell slots ...

Fearne gets into range and gets Mister to bamf her close enough ... nuts, she can;t do a whole lot with her friend around him ... so she just does another Scrching Ray! But EVERY ONE has advantage to hit, then ... so two the body, one to the node ... PHOOM PHOOM PHOOM!!! And more spell slots gone ...

Orym tangles him with Seedling, yanks him out from the gate, and drags him into open space ... NICE ... so he starts slashing away ... he CRITS on the node! Nice ... and one on the body! Liam does more dice maths ... oh fuck ... HE GETS THE HDYWTDT!!!

YEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!!! He gets the death stroke! Yeah! It's poetic justice! Perfect!

That is a BEAUTIFUL and perfect kill ... Orym did it ... he finally got his revenge ... that's so beautiful ...

Yeah, LOOT THAT BITCH!!!

Imogen hugs Orym ... damn right! Wee Man needs that after this ... he finally made it all WORTH IT ... perfect payback ...

Okay, yeah ... so what's going on with this barrier thing? There's still some of it left ... is that enough? Wll it hold> Will it repair itself? Do we need to do somethning? Or do they want to KEEP GOING THROUGH? Really?

Do they NEED to use such a valuable item to replenish right now? It's a one-use thing ... Are they still under threat?

Oh ... Grim Psychometry? On the thing? Fuck ... this'll be interesting ...

Well there's definitely ... SOMETHING in there ... O.O

Ira's just being a total disaster tourist right now and it's hilarious ... XD

I'm sorry ... Matt: "The staff REJECTS your Identify spell." Like ... WHAT?!!! Seriously? That is NOT a very good sign at all ...

Wow ... Orym's like, just ... SHELLSHOCKED right now ...

Oh fuck ... what's THIS shit? What's happening now? Wait ...Ludinus' corpse has just MELTED? Oh fuck, Ira's GONE?!!! Not good ... this is really worrying now ...

The orb? Okay, then ... CHetney throws it into Braius' crotch ... oh, and THAT cracks it? Okay ... well, there we go, then. Major heal and rejuvenation all round ... nice ...

So this was just a self-destruct of Ludinus' own devising, then? Well that's at least a little more reassuring ...

Everybody's now doing the prerequisite dice math to work out exactly what they've got back, etc ...

Random Arcana check for Fearne? Oh, this should be interesting ... 10? Balls ... nothing to write home about, then ...

Eyes of the Runekeeper? Oh yeah, go Laudna! So SHE rolls for Arcana instead ... Oh 24 is BEAUTIFUL ... oh, so it has a resistance but it's FINITE ... so now they CAN check it again ... okay, then ...

A Staff od Soul Bind Relay ... but it's SPENT? Of course ... so that means Ludinus DOES have a spare clone out there ... SHIT!!! Meaning he is technically still out there ... so they only have SO MUCH TIME, then ...

Absorb the staff? Would that be wise right now? CAN THEY?!!! Nope, into the Bag of Holding, then ... so what's the call, then?

Oh, so they're just going through after all? OKay then ... Imogen's just going for it ... oh my, well that was terribly easy ... Imogen (to Laudna): "I think he's htting on me." XD

Well then, that's it ... they're through ... whatever THIS shit is, they're now INSIDE this thing ...

Just a little light? THIS IS IT?!!! The great monstrous THREAT?!!! Is this some kind of trick, or is it NOT what we were expecting after all?

Oh, so this thing is CONSCIOUSLY AWARE of their presence ... yeah, she can actually HEAR IT ... oh, they ALL can, at least through Imogen ...

I mean ... honestly, this thing doesn't SOUND LIKE a threat ... it's more like a CHILD than anything else ... is this for real right now, or just an elaborate trick?

Oh, so we're just getting full on visions punched right into our brains now ... lovely ...

Ah ... so this thing's actually MUCH BIGGER than what we're actually seeing ... this is just a HINT of the entirety of Predathos ... hmmmm ...

"A vagrant need to feed" ... that's disconcerting ... it suggests this thing's potentially an immense danger without even MEANING to be ...

A GOD Whisper for Orym? Intriguing ...

SHIT!!! A flare? Right now? Oh that's not good ...

Whoa ... Fearne and Imogen both get TWENTY-FOUR Temporary hit points? Wow ...

Oh, the flares are LITERALLY intended SPECIFICALLY to make more Ruidusborn ... well that's ... INSIDIOUS ... and so potentially RELLY not a good sign ...

The Reilorans are LITERALLY MADE in this thing's image ... oh, okay then ... that's VERY interesting ...

Good question, actually ... what DOES this thing ACTUALLY hunger for? Oh here we go ... yeah, definitely ... yup, this thing DOES hunger for the gods ... so there's that ...

The Mask? Ah yes ... interesting ...

So these are VERY MUCH like the original Threads of Fate themselves ...

Even now, Orym's a bodyguard to his friends before ANYTHING ELSE ... I love this Wee Man, I really do ...

Okay, definitely DO NOT TOUCH this thing, then ...

Moment of truth, then ... resist or let it have its way ... fuck ... this is potentially about to get ALL KINDS of hairy ...

Time to decide, then ... what are we doing? Is it a fight?

SHIT!!! TOO LATE!!! Crap!

Fuck ... Imogen has been CLAIMED BY THE THING ... O.O ... holy shit, she's PHYSICALLY CHANGING NOW!!! She's becoming the vessel of Predathos! SHIT!!!

Roll high, Laura ... PLEASE ... 12? Balls ...

Fearne's trying to keep Imogen focused, to keep her connected ... oh yes ... okay, this could work ... PLEASE let this work ... O.O

28? That's a good roll ... that IS a good roll, right?

AND THIS IS WHERE YOU CALL IT A NIGHT?!!! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING RIGHT NOW MATT MERCER?!!!
