Some viewers may find the following video disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised.
Hey everyone, welcome back to Board Games Alike and Bailey and I are continuing Aurelia. Last episode was a whole lot of nothing.
Pretty much.
Uh it's just searching for the map, but I mean we got important stuff. We actually got the cipher.
Yes.
So
to the map.
That's huge and we have a silver key now.
We also still have one more map to look to the
Oh, Yondel's map?
Yeah.
I mean we might we might as well just head that in that direction.
[clears throat]
Right?
I mean why not?
So we're at Rivertown Market, although the only place that we can go is is north. So I'll be interested to see if we're able to bank that way cuz we need to get here
Mhm.
somehow. Unless
It's boat.
Is by boat?
Oh, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. No, no, no. We actually can get that way because the uplands which is here. Yeah. Like that.
Yeah, by boat.
Yep, we can go up by boat up to 05 and that will lead us that way. So
where how how are we going to get to this side though? There's more water. Might be somewhere over here.
Um Yeah, maybe up there at the very top. So I guess we can head back this way uh which costs stamina. dumb dumb And then Yeah, so then we have to go here.
God damn.
We're just getting [ __ ] on the stamina stuff.
tired, dude. These pills are putting us weight there.
Then water. Okay, we're good. And now First you need to add up.
[clears throat]
Okay, cool. We're good.
Hey.
So now we're in here.
Boop.
The upper upper sill. And Yeah, so this way. Yep, stamina.
Zack, get off me.
I hate the water. Oh, hey, Boskton. We're going to Boskton. Hey, we need to go to the market. There. Oh, let's go to the market there. That is
I like Boskton.
P O I 60. Okay. As you approach the township of Boskton, you see smoke rising from the west. People are on the road hurrying away from the town. There's odd tracks leading towards the market square.
Oh, no.
Smoke, people, and tracks.
Did you want to
The tracks.
Tracks. Stamped clearly upon the soft ground are clear tracks you recognize all too well. Rows of prints in military precision, an army of giant ants.
Oh my god. Nipper.
The creatures from the farm. You steady your breathing and decide if you will enter the town.
Do we want to enter the town?
Yeah, we enter the town.
Medium 37.
Let me go kill some ants. First off, how they get over here? Ants don't like water.
Uh these ones particularly are able to swim.
Oh, good. They have scuba gear and everything.
[clears throat]
Little ant scuba scuba gear.
You know what uh ants do whenever they uh their houses get like washed away like they're underground. They take all the babies and they float on the babies.
Do they really?
They really do. Ew, damn it.
What what medium did they say?
I wasn't listening.
I apparently didn't retain it 37.
37
Move that over. And now
I was thinking about ants.
That's fair.
You know ants can live underwater?
They can?
Yeah, for like a day or something [ __ ] like that like 24 hours.
That's fascinating. You enter the small town and find a scene of destruction before you. Houses appear that have been assaulted by battering rams. Debris lines the streets and you hear commotion coming from around the corner.
Where did that go come from? Oh, it's my stamina.
Yeah.
All right, there we are. Okay, we're finally here. Huh, good old Boston. Looks the same.
Looks like [ __ ] Smells like [ __ ] too. All right, you want to go to POI 73?
Yep.
All right. Whoop.
Then I'll head that way. Whoop. Whoop. 73
It is out of the police.
Okay.
You're standing before the ruins of a house. There's a loud commotion coming from around the corner. There are large tracks leading down the road.
I follow the tracks. Oh, no, wait.
Yeah.
Large footprints lead down the road. The spacing and shapes are too large to be a horse. You think you've seen something like this before. Intelligence
Oh my god, I'm good at those.
You're super dumb. Eight.
I can use a plus three.
Oh, good. I was like you literally needed a nine.
I was like I can use a plus three.
Okay, there you go.
Okay.
That's events 104.
I can use a It's a three, I guess.
You recognize these tracks. The giant ants that escaped the farm. You dive into cover just in time as a patrol comes into view. You watch the patrol learning their numbers. You think you could sneak by and let them leave town on their business or you could jump out and attack them.
I'm going to jump out and attack them.
Okay.
[ __ ] these ants, dude.
I hate you.
I know.
You wait for the right time then jump out surprising the ant patrol. We could have not had to fight at all. All right, place long 30.
You're like, "God damn it." Hey, we didn't fight last game last time we played, so here we are.
That's true. The source of the chaos is before you. Strangely familiar giant ants are tearing the town apart.
So, if you're just over there like, "Okay, I'm going to sneak and be quiet." And then I jump out and I GO, "HA!"
ALL RIGHT, BUT WE START WITH PLUS THREE COMBAT.
OH, THAT'S GOOD.
At least.
Shut up.
I'm not answering that.
Then Okay. Oh, yep. Yep. Yep. Mhm. Okay, so foe 106.
Wait, we fought these guys before.
Yeah, they're pretty easy.
They're level 200. No.
That sounds like like [ __ ] easy work.
Uh okay. There's only two ants.
200 ants.
Yeah, this is going to be four hour four hour fight. So, if we're fighting a ton of ants, they better like give us like they better like one-shottable ants. What level are they? They're level They're level six. So, we are we are higher level than them. Okay, so there's that. Then we have some armored location to stab them with your uh your whatever the foe splitter. Whoops. And this is figure 35.
I already found it. One. Two. Two. Luckily, it's only two ants. So, yeah, see? Easy. Could have been zero. Could have been a nice nice zero ants.
boring. Let's fight ants. These guys escaped us once. Let's kill them. Okay. If you really want to fight,
I do. I want to shoot someone.
It's fun, actually. I like the combat in this game.
Me, too. It's not bad.
What What it's really missing is a giggling girl.
It is missing a giggling girl and a bunch OF GUYS GOING IN THE BACKGROUND. OH MY GOD, THAT WAS SO ANNOYING.
So [ __ ] annoying. Uh I installed a a doorbell at my work, so whenever someone comes to the front door, it dings.
Mhm.
Uh and I put it on like Pirates of the Caribbean theme, so every time someone opens the door, you hear dun dun dun
That's That's cool.
Everyone's mad about it. They keep changing it. Um okay. Pincers, whenever an exile tries to move out of an adjacent square, you have to check decks 11. If you fail, you don't leave, you lose three health, and lose all remaining movement. That's new. That is new. You remember that that reminds you remember that time that in D&D many many years ago whenever you had to fight my giant crabs?
Oh, yeah.
And they were broken.
Everything you guys had during that thing was broken.
For some reason Maya just let it happen.
Cuz he didn't he never read the the monster manual. He just glanced at that.
You guys got a a level four thing versus cuz we were like level four like what whatever it was.
Whatever it was. Yeah, it was like yeah, it was I well he what he did he gave us monsters of a um what do they call it in CR?
Yeah, of CR 11 or something.
Yeah, and okay, so you mean level you mean four level 11s have to fight this thing?
Yeah.
I'm level 15 fighting it? No. No.
Yeah, it was it was
And he gave you guys like [ __ ] 30 of them?
Yeah, he didn't give us the cap on it.
just have so many.
but he gave you guys money that you could use to buy an army, but it wasn't really the equivalent.
we we could make one character level 10.
Right.
And like okay, you have like 100 gold to go through and do something about it.
Um yeah. Yeah, it uh I mean it was great for me.
Oh, yeah, no.
It was good for you guy you and Bimmis, but not anyone else.
Right. All right.
Let's go. OH, COOL.
OH, WELL I'M SORRY. I MEANT I MEANT TO SHUFFLE THIS. I have I I I haven't shuffled it in
I hope you shuffle it and it happens again.
Since I set since I set it up, yeah. I just pulled it straight [snorts] out of the box, and what are they? They are moms.
I want save.
All right, here go. That's the true shuffle.
Okay, they're getting three.
That's there There we are. All those. Okay, so now it is our turn. Well, what can I do? We have three um command We have three combo.
We do have three combo.
Damn, I need five. So, if you go first then I can get
Okay, I'll go first.
Um cuz they are Well, if I move then I can get them all in
I'm trying to think, is there something I can do to go through? Oh, yeah. Uh Hiya!
I'm trying to think. Oh, 13. If there's not Yeah, right here. Uh after moving if you're adjacent from a marked foe, I get one. I get one extra thing. I thought I got another one for some reason. Yeah, here. Make a base base attack or gain one or pay one to move two.
Yeah, I'll take it. I'll take
This is cool, though.
Um
What?
So, the armored parts are their pincers.
Uh-huh.
If that is wounded then we ignore their pincer
That is awesome.
I think more good I really think more board games need to do stuff like that.
Oh, yeah. If I break down their one area, they can't attack us. That'd be cool. Um okay.
Some games try to do it, but they do it in a very lazy way. It's like, "Oh, it does less damage."
Three. And I'll hit that first one right there.
Okay, you're shooting it?
I'm shooting it. Oop. What am I doing again? Oh, yeah. I was like, I forgot how to play. Uh That plus
We also haven't had combat in a very long time.
"What am I doing?" Okay, I get all four straight down. Ooh, nice. Um So, that basically just means I'm going to hit I really should just hit the the pincer, right? And knock the pincer out.
Probably, since we're both ranged characters.
Yeah, let's knock that pincer out then.
hitting this one, so
Yes, whatever that one is.
Okay. So, it'll be like that, then you hit that spot. Whoops.
Okay. And then, I'm going to do it again.
But don't you have like a harpoon thing that you could or do you have like
Yes, but I need five.
Oh, five combo.
Five combo. That's what I need. Okay.
Yeah.
[snorts]
Okay. Right now?
[snorts]
You still hit it.
I still hit it.
So, you you can at least damage the pincers now.
Yeah, I can. That is just one.
to move all your action stuff onto
Oh, yeah.
what you've been doing.
Sorry.
Okay.
Got it. There we go. So, that'll do it. So, I will move myself.
I always forget about adding the things onto here.
Yeah, I I reverse it. I put them on whenever they
they damage whenever they get damaged, but I think I think you're supposed to have them on already. It's just it's more set up.
Um all right, what do my legs do again?
They're made for walking. Bow plus one shield.
What the [ __ ] does that mean?
Plus one shield?
Yeah, it's your
It shows my It shows range and then plus one shield. That's it?
Yeah. You can You can look at my pants. Range ability and then it shows plus one shield plus
Range plus one defense.
What the [ __ ] does that mean?
Uh that's a good question. Cuz there's not a Well, while I'm doing my turn you can Google it.
Oh, yeah, I guess I can't Google it, huh?
Might be pulled up. So, I'm going to move there. Um which gives me five. Then I will do my uh shredding licks. Spending all five. Two. That is one. That's not good. I will actually reroll. Cuz I would like damage each foe in loot range. Yeah. Yeah, I need at least two. That's two. Okay, sweet. So. Um got you. So, every uh range attack I take
Uh-huh.
uh I get a plus shield. So, like if someone say to me
Oh, okay.
So, if someone's going to hit me with
With a range attack.
with a range attack as long as it's uh a range attack I get an extra. So, instead of my shield being three, it's four for range attacks.
Okay, sweet.
That's pretty neat.
Okay, cool. That makes That makes a lot of sense. Got it. So, my fancy bracelet does the same thing against melee.
Cool.
So, whenever you get hit with your fancy bracelet
I just Wonder Woman it.
Wonder Woman.
I'm a parry god all these people. I have a buckler shield. Okay, so I'm going to damage both of them. Um the way it's going to go is Oh, this is actually going to be nasty. So, it's a over to the left Oh. That. Cuz I will go No, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, that'll go here.
[snorts]
And then here, which will cross over there. And then up here. And then this one will do the exact same. One, two, three.
Nice.
And then I will do a So, after I did my shredding lick, we'll do a battle riff. And get um one. So, I can either
Yeah, I'm going to lower this by two.
Good call.
Cuz otherwise they would do their incise, which will do uh three plus three damage.
That is not fun.
And I'm right there. All right. That was my whole turn. So, Okay. Well, fair enough.
I'll take it this time. So, um they're going to spend one and both of them are going to do their [snorts] mandible at the closest.
I'm pretty sure it's closest. Oh, that's right. It's not on here. It's right here. Oh, they target the most, which unfortunately they cannot get to and they're definitely so one, two. It's going to be blue for two damage. Up on my rotting shoulder, which does block. Bing. Um I would I do got to say though, giant ants would be probably one of the scariest things to see.
Oh, it would be horrifying. Like an ant the size of like a mini horse.
Uh yeah.
I mean, obviously giant spider would be or cockroach, but I don't know. Ants I think would be underrated especially because they can what is it lift a thousand times their body weight.
Uh I don't think a cock- cockroach would freak me out as much as a giant ant would.
Really?
Yeah, cuz they're not So, I block that damage. Cockroaches aren't going to come over and try to eat me like an ant would.
That's true.
Or a spider.
Yeah. Okay. So, I took a damage in my metal bracer and my rotting shoulder.
Ding ding.
So, uh Yeah, I forgot we have We actually have pretty good gear. Remember when we started out with like nothing
sopping wet
gloves
I have a moist glove still.
You still have a moist glove?
Yeah, moist glove.
You have a rotting thing. I got
a rotting shoulder and scarred shoulder.
metal bracer and a buckled cuff.
Nice. Uh okay.
And I'm moist and then I still need a cloak. My cloak's kind of My cloak's okay, but it's still just threadbare.
Our turn,
right?
Yes. Um do you need me to go first this time again?
Um No, I can help you out this time. Okay.
Uh Mhm. What is it? Dex 11? I only have one Dex. Which is the one that's wounded? Doesn't really matter. Eh. Cuz I'm surrounded by both, so I'd have to make a check either way. Cuz I don't have Okay, so what I can do is Yeah, I can help you out at least do my battle riff again. And that will be another Oh, I got two on that one. Here you go. Three.
[snorts]
And do I try to move? How would that Uh yeah, I will try to move. Cuz I still get something. So, Dex 11. 15. Haha, one, two. I'll move back. Nope, nope, I actually need to be right there. Okay. And then I'll use my last action and do my oiled stinger, which is based off intelligence. I'm going to net 20. Okay, I got a 15, but plus four. Uh so that will only be two damage, which is unfortunate cuz I'm shooting Well, I'm shooting this one, so I guess I can get rid of that. There you go. That's good. And I moved, so now if you move, you can do your harpoon thing.
I'm going to.
Okay. So, here's what I have cooked up. Um I'm going to move.
I'm just going to pull this up to five.
And then I'm going to move here, here. Stab [clears throat] in the butt. I am going to stab him in the butt. That's going to go to here and since I'm Oh, he's not marked, that's why. Eh, whatever, it'll be fine.
God, do you roll any any worse?
I I could have.
There's three other numbers I could have rolled. True.
Um that still puts me at a 12, so I do get hit two spots.
[snorts]
Uh
Well, your options are here or here.
Oh, that's true. Um I just put it on one. Because I'm going to go ahead and make my harpoon attack against the other one.
Oh, okay. You Cool.
And I'm going to rip myself over to her to it. So, see, uh make a basic bow attack. Okay, that's a good one. That gives me three. No, sorry, it only gives me the two down.
Um for the record, we need one more XP to level up.
Oh, is it really? Nice. Well, we're not.
Yeah.
Yeah, good then. Oh, we're not.
It's one of them. Kill us. Uh Okay, so I hit it with hit it with the bow attack um on this one, and it's two down, so get rid of the uh
pincers.
Pincers.
Nice.
Actually, no, I like put on the other side.
I see. Okay.
Um and that makes me give to five. Boop. Yep. Puts me right here. And just for funsies I'm going to mark it. He's marked. Okay. Make up that. That's still the two. So, um it's two diagonal. So, Yeah, diagonal this way?
Yeah, uh those two, yeah.
Okay. And then burn an MP to take away that last one.
Nice.
Kills it.
Hell, yeah.
You dig that back.
There. And this is back to me.
And just swing by and like cut him like horizontally. Top body slides off. It's all icky.
Icky and green.
They can't go. Nope. Nope, and then I'll just attack and kill it. Yep.
Yep.
Look at all that work I did.
You did good job.
And that's going to give us two XP. Yay.
Better than none.
And why don't you go ahead and roll me that D20, baby?
Me? Okay.
Mhm.
Seven.
We got 1K.
Yay.
Here you go.
It's the one we spent when we went to go take a nap, right?
Now they're like super busy at my work right now and they're mad at Derek, so they're texting me.
Oh. The servers?
Yeah.
Weird.
Cuz they're cuz they're mad at him because he's not doing anything to help. So, what?
All right. One 06.
Yeah, I think that was it.
Nice.
Oh, I don't know why I pulled myself off. And you we're still in we're still in the the fight.
Oh, yeah.
There we go. So, five's going there. And then three neat. All right, little ants died. And our two XP
There you go.
Thank you.
I went all the way back over there. There you go.
Thanks.
35
We don't even have the room.
No, I was like we don't have the room so I sacked it. Um So, we can investigate this. So,
What is it? Oh, POI 24.
Uh 74.
[ __ ] hell. I sorry, I reading that wrong.
You're standing before a broken bridge. The river here doesn't look too wide to cross. Not far beyond the bridge, you hear the sounds of a large uproar. Uh uproar, just beyond the bridge there's a loud racket. It sounds like people are yelling and every now and then you hear a loud crack and crash. Um Okay, something appears in the bridge something appears to have smashed the bridge uh blocking all passage across for now. Perhaps you could repair it.
Do you have any weight?
Repair it, you think you might be able to repair the bridge if only you had the right materials.
Just double checking.
I grab a hammer and nail and grab or I grab a piece of wood and a nail and grab your loot. [snorts]
And smash it. I got the wood. Um Let's see. Yeah, cuz then cross you jump into the water swimming across the far side is made of a smooth stone wall wet and slick with algae. It's too steep to climb. Uh you swim back defeated you'll have to find another way.
Damn.
Yeah, I think
So oh, that says long 30. That's what that's what the item is. Sorry. Oh, they're small 47 though.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yes, there is. Okay. So can't do anything with the broken bridge. So we need probably says keywords might be like something to repair it or the right materials. Uh I'm like this can be used to repair something.
Yeah. So small 47.
I bet you it's going to be in here.
That would be my guess. Ransacked building. The doors of this building have been violently removed. You shuddered to think about what happened to the occupants.
The [ __ ] ants are doing this much damage, dog. There's something else going on.
Probably.
Yeah, especially oh man, no they they threw pickles on the ground. There's pickles everywhere. I run in there and go
I just eat floor pickles.
You even like pickles?
Uh hit or miss.
Got you.
I hate sweet pickles. Yeah.
You like I
I can eat one of those like little like the little sweet small ones. I can eat one of them, but any more than that then I'm not a fan. You're standing in a mess of a house. The goods here have been smashed on the floor. Crates are upturned and half the wall is broken.
Huh.
Uh the goods. Food lies scattered around spoiling in the heat of the afternoon. A large jar of pickles has broken, making the whole house smell sickly.
Um the wall broken?
The wall here was broken at one point, but it looks like the owner must have tried to board up the hole. You see a hammer and some nails nearby. Let's grab it.
You can get that role-playing.
Yay! I kept mine from earlier.
Okay, nice. That is key 78. You found a craftsman's claw back hammer and a handful of nails in the damaged streets of Boskton. Uh large planks of wood is what we're looking for. Mhm.
So, we have everything else but the planks of wood. Are they still
Well, I bet you that's So,
Oh, is that the That's the key?
Maybe, yeah.
Got it. I thought maybe you were meaning like we need to go find those. We find them on the other side of the map, have to lug them all the way over here.
Well, um
Actually, yes, we're going to have to.
Yeah, the broken bridge actually doesn't say anything about large large planks of wood.
Oh my god.
Unless [snorts] that was 70 73 that said it. Um The house here seems to have been torn apart through sheer brute reducing the homestead to large planks of wood.
Ah, yeah.
There we go.
Let's go get those.
Which is key 77?
Yeah, that was over here.
Okay, cool.
Key 77, would you look at that? Large plank you collected from the wreckage of a house destroyed by giant ants. It looks strong and sturdy. There it is. Repair the bridge. Can you Can you imagine in the middle of a fight, like a war-torn town, we're just over here just building a bridge.
Right. Hold on.
Zeffi, Zeffi, cut once, never twice. You're like, "No, it's measure twice, cut once." I'm like, "I know WHAT I'M DOING."
LIKE, WHO'S THE DWARF HERE?
You have You have increasingly smaller and smaller pieces of wood. I'm just like, "What are you doing?" You deal with minerals, not wood. Uh okay, so we trash key 78 and this card after long. 30 goes to B.
[snorts]
Thank you. You've slapped together a makeshift bridge across the chasm. Now, you should be able to reach the other side and get to the source of the commotion. Which leaves two big 38.
I love that all we did was just lay down one thing. One 2 by 4 and we put in some rusty ass nails, one there and one there, and that's that that constitutes a bridge, which I feel like we we literally could have just made a check to have us jump across.
I have a bow and arrow that I use to pull myself around.
That's true. Um this is medium, 37, so
make Could just make a
[ __ ] tightrope.
Uh yeah, cuz I was also like a thief in my past life, so I imagine I have amazing dexterity.
I would say I could throw you, but you have more strength than me. You could throw me.
I do. I do have more strength. I can't wait to arm wrestle that chick and totally win.
No, my very last like level I'm going to take it as that 10 in strength.
Market Square, the giant ants have ransacked the small market food carts are overturned and carts lie smashed. There we are. Would you look at that?
Oh. Wow, looks like we had to fight these ants anyway.
That's true, but we could have not fought them already and be all tuckered out.
We're not all tuckered out. Are you tuckered out? No. You meanie.
The little kid can use a nap.
What?
The little kid can use a nap.
Yeah.
Here, so they're like, "It's the middle of the day, dude. I need to take a nap."
Yeah, you should.
All right, so 35, so we got four ants. And then we have So, that's foe 106. Which will now be all of them. And then foe 108, which is figure 38.
We fought this guy yet? I don't know if we have.
Is that a big one?
We have not fought that one.
Yeah, we have.
How have we?
Yeah, at some point cuz Oh, I think that was like the boss at the very end of the underground one.
Yeah.
That one looks scary. Ew. Ew.
Oh, I fell.
You didn't, I did.
Boom. Boom.
All right.
[snorts]
And then one two three, four. Nope. Okay. So, number one is here. Number two there. Number three here and number four. Okay.
So, So, Pincer is obviously still the same. Okay, so he has something called an invade. Resolve the zero. The one where it's uh
Resolve zero threat for all invasion ants and each exile loses a heart per adjacent ant. If no invasion ants, he just gains seven threat. What Wait, so like if we kill everything before killing him, he just attacks us constantly?
He's going to get stronger, yeah.
That Okay. Uh so, it sounds like we need to kill him first. Is that really what it sounds like?
Yeah.
Wild. Okay. Um So, I think uh
And then one.
Definitely got to use all my abilities on that.
Three?
[ __ ] his butt up. Okay. You okay? [snorts]
Yeah, I'm just uh This is about uh time of the day I start getting [ __ ] really tired.
Nice.
It's 1:30.
I know. I know I I've been up since about 3:00 bro. So.
Uh okay.
This is what we need to Jeez, scared me. Nice. And these were for the ants, the mob ants. All right. Two no brutes. So, just two threat. Okay. Uh yes, so we can have Let's see. He's actually What is side blast target exile in range seven just takes three damage. All eggs Oh, that's a side blast. Sorry, what am I looking at? Oh, plus one threat.
Uh I mean my worn axe does pretty good damage across [clears throat] the board against these guys, but I have to be up close. Yeah, I have to get close to them. So. Uh I mean I could go after this one.
Okay.
And hit him pretty pretty good. But that would be cuz it hits it hits if I roll really well, it hits four across. Which if I was hitting this one I could that's number I could hit here here get rid of that and then hit there.
Okay.
Um Oh, go and just put this on the big guy.
Fair enough.
That is who I'm going to be targeting.
Okay. Well, then I'll I'll just go um giving a combo and then one two three then I'll have to spend actually [snorts] when you or an adjacent ally starts to move I I'll just give myself plus two. So, I'll just move there.
Nice.
Worn axe endurance. 11 plus seven. Um Okay, so that is not as good. Now, we'll just hit there. Oh, but oh, actually no, that is really good cuz then that hits a weak spot, which goes down here.
Oh, a double weak spot.
Right? Yeah, it split down.
Oh, nice.
Um So, actually that worked out quite nicely. And then Do you need combo for anything?
Uh just my harpoon.
Okay.
Arrow, everything else is my uh NP.
Okay. Well, since they're all going to swarm, I will go ahead and battle riff. And that will be one. Uh just one. So, I'll give us two.
[snorts]
Okay? Okay, that's it. That's my turn. Cool.
Um I'm going to go ahead and use my swift as a wolf to move the you spend one endurance and move eight spaces instead of three. So, we'll get to go up by one.
Nice.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
Six, seven?
Shut up. God shut up.
One, two, three, four, five. He's six away. Um
Okay, so first things first, I'm going to take just a normal attack. How far do I You said I said six, right?
Yeah.
Sweet. We're actually going to do
Um Sideways would be better. Yeah, sideways would be better. We're going to take off one of my my shallow tail arrow
Okay. [snorts]
and hit him.
Nice.
That's still two across. Still two spots. So um We're going to hit
There's a spot right there if you're hitting this way. You can hit there and there.
It hits here and here. I can hit that one.
Oh. Oh, okay. So
So, we'll get rid of this one.
So, it'll go there, then it'll go down hitting a weak spot which gives him a threat. That will also
send you with a hardened point.
Drops off.
Cuz he has really tough answers. He has really strong ones. Okay. Then my second one will be against him as well, but I'm going to use my ignoring my obstacles ring. They'd be able to hit him again anyway.
Oh, cuz you're out of range.
Yeah. But next turn he's probably going to on his turn or on my next turn I'll move and be close enough to hit him.
Yeah.
So, we'll do that now. Still
Two two damage.
So we'll get rid of where [clears throat] the Um I don't know. I have to get rid of I'll do this one and get rid of both of those.
Okay. Oh, that turns straight down.
Yeah.
Nice.
Okay, so that clears up a little bit.
Yeah. Yeah, I'll have you focus him and then I can I'll try to We'll see what happens.
Well, if I can I'm I'm going to save Oh, what? Oh, actually Do I want to spend my MP already? No, I'll wait. I'll wait until we get closer.
Okay. So, the poison from the Natrus's quill courses through your veins. Surely someone must know of a cure. Yeah, surely.
What's my thing? Is it barren straight?
Yeah. That's two damage.
[ __ ] [ __ ] Dumb.
Hey, they're only gaining one.
Yeah, cuz this one says resolve zero threat.
Oh, oh, it's whenever he
When there is no threat.
I was thinking it was a zero threat card. I'm like that would make no sense. It's whenever there is zero threat he will do invade and that's when they're all up.
Activate.
Um Got it. Okay.
We also don't want them to have zero threat.
Right, yeah. Okay.
Weird.
The weird weird concept for us.
Oh, our turn again?
Yeah, yeah. All they were gaining is one. So, let's see. Where is that one? I guess I'll keep swinging my axe on them.
Pit [ __ ] him.
And get an eight plus seven, so it's still going to be the two damage up top. Okay.
So, not bad. Not bad.
We'll go there. I think I'll do it again. And just see.
That's a one. Wow.
Man.
You would think at some point we'd roll a 20.
No, I think these dice are weighted.
I Dude, they're Yeah, they're they're not great. All right, well then I'm going to move. And uh his pincers are actually still not. So,
Seems like it was kind of cocked there.
I'll still take the eight cuz it's plus No, you're right, it was cocked. It was a [ __ ]
There we go. Natural 20. Look at that. Look at that very legitimate roll. Now I'll just move back. All right. Your turn.
So funny. I was going to say you you just I'm you're not likely to roll another one. You just rolled one. Proceed.
Remember the last time I rolled like four ones in a row?
I do. I do remember that. I do remember that.
Make Hey, uh Cody Miller, make better dice for this game. Get better ones.
Yeah, Cody, you suck at making dice.
At the dice.
All right, your turn.
Okay. Um hm. Hm. I'm obviously going to move. One, two. Three.
All right.
One, two, three, four.
You rolled a combo. Fire arrows if you still have that.
Fire arrows and P.
Hm.
Harpoon is that one.
Okay.
So So I am going to fire arrow and hit both of them though.
Nice.
That is a good call. So There we go. There and Get it. Get it. Natural 20.
Geez.
Wow. Uh anyway, that's still hitting two spots.
Okay.
Um and it is down. So down two.
On him?
On both on this one.
Okay.
and him.
So there and there?
Sure. Get rid of his pincers. Um and then
have that.
Oh, he doesn't?
No.
Oh, dumb. Uh then this one. We'll just hit here and there.
Okay. All right. And then one more attack on the big guy. Dude
Have you rolled above a 10?
Uh once.
I think my first roll was a 15.
Got you.
Um How many spots does he have left there?
Oh, uh I'll spend one extra MP last turn and give him one damage. Uh there, that works.
Um and then this time I'm only
Well, you can actually No, you can't. Never mind. I was like you could hit here and then there. No. Uh I mean, I have to hit one of those top spots.
I might as well just take the way the middle one since I can only hit straight down.
Didn't you just get two damage though?
No, just one.
Oh, it's just one damage?
one. I rolled a four plus eight. Oh, no, it is two. That's what I thought. It is two. Sorry, I I thought it was an 11.
That's why I was thinking I would just hit there and then down here.
Yeah.
Sweet.
All right.
Let's see what's happening. Wow.
Oh.
Ow. So, they all go, right?
Uh yes, they're all going to go and they're all going to get
I'm about to get ganked.
They're all going to do plus one damage. So, I'll just put that there and there. Um So,
My watch is telling me to stand up.
All foes plus one. Um Yeah, so this one I guess that means they do their inside. So, it's not too bad. Person with the most health. 1 2 3 4 5 6
How do they move so much?
Uh yeah, they're very fast. Most health, which is still What's your health?
Nine.
Yeah, you have one more than I do. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
He's not going to be able to get to me.
Uh he get uh well, he actually activates I cuz I think it's Hold on. I need to look up the limit break and see
I'm [ __ ]
what they what they what they activate.
I wish I had like an area attack that I can put at my feet and hit all all these areas. That'd be cool. Chaos Fireball on me. When threat is uh seven after a foe or I resolve the following effects. Then all foes activate as the if and all foes threat card were drawn spending uh spending threat normally. So, they don't go down to zero. Ah.
So, they don't go down to zero.
Nope. They stay there. I mean, they're kind of going to go down So, that's going to be three and then they do Yeah, the inside's plus three damage, which is actually going to be plus four damage. So, gray die. So, they're actually all still going to do
All of them are hitting me, right?
Well, this that one was They actually target the furthest. So, this Hold on. We'll have to redo this one. I think this one was here. Yeah, they hadn't moved yet. So, they actually target the furthest that they can get. Um so, I think and they they're moving nine.
One One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Okay, so, this one can actually get to me. Uh one, two, three, four, five Yeah, so, this one can get to you. Uh one, two, three, four, five, six, eight. Yeah, with all that in the way. So, I think he is still going to go after you.
Okay.
And then one, two, three. So, they actually split up. I think that change.
Cool.
Um Okay. So, we'll do yours for first since you have the die.
Okay. Right in the chest.
And so
Four damage.
Four damage, so I'll take two. One, two.
Here's an armor. You know what? Here you go. Uh same spot? Yep, same spot. So, one, two.
Okay. And then toss that over to me. That's my legs. I wish you hit my legs.
I only go down one damage.
Um And then the second one is Oh, my fancy bracelet, which actually will block all of it cuz it's a melee attack.
Oh, nice. That is lucky.
I hit you like Nick That's just [clears throat] No, no, I'm just like, "What do you hit my arm?" Okay, then he's going to activate where he does a psi blast. Um so, he's going to spend three Uh okay, which is actually better than invade cuz invade you would we would both just take two damage.
That sucks.
Um So, target exile in range seven uh so, it's red is going to be three damage. Four damage.
Okay, so two damage.
Okay.
Boom, boom. Oh.
Uh and then all other exiles in range five of that target whoo, would take three damage. I am just far enough away.
Wow, that is good.
Okay. Yeah, so I actually I think look re-looking at that, having them split up is a little bit better. So, it's our turn. You need healing, don't you?
I do.
move, which I [ __ ] can't, actually.
Can I go on Go ahead and Can I use a actual move like an actual action thing on a where it says minor to
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I can? Yeah, cool. I don't need as much healing.
Um
to drink my potion both my potions and gain four back.
Okay. And then we can save it for a moment. So, I mean, you could just get the free action, which you could just use to drink. Um instead. Depends on if you're moving, but the problem is is you'd have to make two separate decks checks to try and get out of their pincers. Oh,
Yeah, no, he did his life points.
do I have Okay, so now, what about my harpoon arrow?
What about it?
Do I have to do that check then?
I don't think so. Cuz it's It technically So, it says um pincers, whenever an exile tries to move out of an adjacent Well, does it say move?
Uh it says, if wound, pull yourself towards
Nope. So, then you would not cuz it does not say move.
It does not say move. It says pull. Yeah, pull yourself towards any number of squares. That many number of squares.
Yep.
[snorts]
I would say
basic hunting attack.
You are not trying to move. That So, the way I would read it is if you're actively
trying to move away.
That's Yeah, that's what I think.
[clears throat]
Okay. So, then I'm going to use two things, boom boom, to drink, move up four, one, two, three, four, and then [snorts] I'm going to use harpoon arrow, dropping us down by five. To pull my ass out of there. That is a 20, so that is really good. That's four this four down.
Against two.
Uh this guy, sorry.
Oh, okay.
Well, you're all Oh, actually, so then you should do here, which would go down hitting here and there. Okay. So now he has two spots left in
So this is armor there and then
armor there. Yeah. Okay, so
No, there's not a armor I think I hit that one.
Okay, so and that means I'm hit him I hit him once, right?
Yep, so it's when the marked foe is damaged.
Okay.
So, we'll take that away.
Nice.
And I'll drop my MP.
Okay.
Then uh I get to make make my hunting knife attack.
You have to move though, don't you? Or you just fall. Then just like trying to grab your legs. Nice.
that is going to let me hit here and I'm going to spend my last MP to get him damaged again.
Nice.
Okay. So that took care of one.
Yeah, you soloed him. Pretty sweet. [snorts]
That took care of me not getting my ass raped again.
My legs are all bleeding.
Yeah, like they still like you're like dodging them. You're just standing on your on your cut up ankles. Nubs. Yeah, your nubs. Your legs are still back here or your feet.
Um cool, so I killed him. Now I'm done.
All right.
Well, I'm going to go ahead and battle Riff. And hopefully Nope, that's not going to be enough. I would have to move and I don't think I'm going to make two successful decks checks. So I think I might just hit him with my my war axe. And let's go ahead and hit You [snorts] know what I've been dealing damage to this whole time? I've been putting all my damage on this one. That cuz that's it that's the one that I was attacking up here.
Uh-huh.
Cuz I thought it was pink. Um So that would Whatever. I'll just keep it the same. Four plus whatever plus endurance so that's still going to be two damage which will hit This one is swap.
Swap the ones that's in front of you and you swap those two?
Yeah, I'll probably going to have to. I think it'd just be the easiest thing to do.
Yeah.
Then second attack. Oh man, it hit the stupid card. Uh but I will kill him.
Cool.
And then Now I will actually try to move away. Well, now actually I will drink my potion. And max heal.
Nice.
Mobs. Okay. They only have two to spend so they will spend one to do their mandible. Which they will move towards where they can hit the most. Um
Yeah, so that one's going to go there and they're move into seven. 1 2 3 4 5 6 and that one's staying there. And they the mandible hits for two plus their power of so three on blue. I'll do mine cuz it's easiest. My rotting shoulder Actually, that's three damage and they're even hit before.
Damn.
All right. There you go.
Well, good thing I used my ornate potion.
Your left hand. Oh my god.
Uh
Your [ __ ] ring.
My [ __ ]
is my [ __ ] ring. Uh 1 2 Wait, hold on. It's three, right? Or three four? Three. Okay, so we're going to go down one. But I don't need a thing because that's infinite cuz my ring. And now this one is my bracer and it's three and it does no damage.
Nice. Yeah, these guys give us It almost feels like we should've been here earlier cuz this is giving us stone stuff and we're on iron.
Yeah. It's our turn. So nice. Where's my Oh, here it is. Well, you know what? I'm going to do a minor potion again and actually just fully heal from that attack. And I'm going to stick to what I've been doing. I'm just going to war and axe him. I'm going to net 20 or five. Which will be It's pretty close. Another two. Let's hit up here. Another two damage and then for my second attack
I hate these dice.
I do, too.
[ __ ] Every time I think about it, I think about I should bring my own. I have a green pair.
Yeah. All right, that was my turn.
Okay.
Um and mine's also reset myself. Mine's also going to be just as easy um because I don't want to try to I could probably make the decks thing to get What is the decks thing actually?
11.
11? [clears throat] I got to make it twice?
Yeah. Otherwise, you just If you fail, you just take three damage.
Okay, so that means I have to roll higher than a five each time. And I don't trust these dice enough.
I know.
So, uh I will just attack them with my dagger.
See? Good thing.
I know. Okay, so that is at least two. No, sorry. One.
One.
One. Yeah.
Diagonal.
Um we'll start off with the blue guy.
All right.
And well, you can hit this
Yeah, we can just knock that one out first.
Okay.
Um Um also, because I am adjacent with uh this is just something that happens. Every time I make a basic knife attack, I gain a combo.
Really?
Yeah. Every time I hit two adjacent uh target.
Okay. Two, three.
I didn't do it. And that's also a one, and I can do it on the
On the pink [clears throat] one.
On the pink one again.
There you go.
All right. And that goes up one more time.
Nice.
Cuz each time it goes up.
[clears throat]
Um and minor action
So, now you can move if you wanted to, and you don't have to make one check to get away away from the blue. But, chances are they're going to go again and then just follow you.
it again.
Yeah.
Well, what I would just do is move back one and then up one to move up our combo.
Yeah. Nah, I got enough help. Let's do it. Okay. 18. Nice.
Yay! So, I'm going to just going to side step
Nice.
to move our combo up one.
Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Well, they're gaining three, and now it's our turn.
Okay.
All right. Was that [snorts] one the green one? Oh, okay. I got it. This is the one, right here. Ready? Yep, I'm ready.
[snorts]
Have you rolled anything higher than a [ __ ] five?
I mean
Jesus Christ.
[clears throat]
Have you seen the dice made out of cheese so you can do that or the rock candy one?
I've seen the rock candy ones and the cheese
Yeah, those made out of cheese.
I will try to move. Need to make a decks 11.
That hit the table and it did not move.
That's true. It just spun. Yeah, we need a legit roll. Look at that. There we go. That one rolled around.
One, two, three.
Um And then actually I will go one, two, three. And then I will shoot him with my oiled stinger. Hey, that's actually a dirty ass 20.
Dirty ass 20.
Which actually will remove that and hit there.
Nice, that's a good one. One more.
I know. Too bad I can't kill him. So, it's your turn.
Yeah. Well, [clears throat] um Okay. I'm just going to be doubling up the knife attack again.
So, there's one Oh, that's actually That's actually all four. Um so, diagonal all four. I'm going to hit If you go diag
Nope, never mind.
It's there.
Oh, they only have the one weakness.
Yeah, so literally I can just knock this one out. That's the one I'm on though.
That's the one I'm on.
Yeah, I'm on this one. Uh
Let's see. Diagonal
where that damage went. So, diag Oh, diagonal this way. Sorry.
Oh, oh that's actually that is really good.
so we'll go here, here, there, and then there. And I'll knock all three. And then we'll do it one more time. And that is still a seven, so that's two spots. So, we'll go here here. All right.
[snorts]
And then, guess what? Cuz that was two attacks.
Oh, yeah.
Free action. So, if you want to use a free action, you can.
Sure, I'll shoot that. And kill him. So, that one's dead.
Yay.
Cool. All right. Mob. So, it's going to be
you finally kill your snake and go, "Hey, Zephyr, do you want to help me?" And I'm like have like
just like biting all over me.
Huh?
Just with their just crawling and just knowing on you. Uh so, they are unfortunately going to spend three to do their inside attack, which is plus four damage. So, it's going to be gray, so it's a five damage attack coming your way.
Oh. A five damage?
Oh.
Oh.
[ __ ] my sweet ass. That's been done twice, so that's five.
Yep.
So, now I'm going to die. Okay, so I'm at two health.
Nice. Good thing you're hearty. Hey, your legs.
That's a good one. That's only two. I'm dead.
But I go up by one.
Nice.
Uh yep, so hearty is done. Okay.
All right, well, it's our turn.
It is our turn.
All right. Um
Here's the unfortunate part is there's a lot of debris in my way to try and help you.
Yeah, there is.
[snorts]
Um
Um hold on, so real quick. Uh They They don't They don't have a hold on me right now, right?
Uh do that one's the blue one still.
That one still does?
Still can, yep.
Okay.
Okay.
Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool.
So, 1 2 3 4 5 6 and it needs to be a range two. So I actually 1 2 3 4 5 6 Okay, I actually can help.
Sweet.
1 2 3 4 5 6 so I have to spend stamina to get there. Then cuz my loot range is three. We do not have enough combo for me to help like I thought I could. We don't have any combo.
How many do you need? Two?
I need a five to do shredding legs.
Oh. I can only help you with at least three.
Um cuz you are not in loot range for me.
No, but uh like I said, I can add three to it. That's about all I could probably be able to do.
Yeah, then I can get this up to five.
Let's do that. Let's me go first.
Okay. Uh [snorts] you want to move back over?
No, cuz that's where I'm going to move.
Okay. Um
that's fine. Um so first things first knife attack
Okay.
pink one. No, no, no, no. I want No, no, no. Blue one. I got to I got to do blue one first. Uh and I need to roll at least a 12.
How's an eight?
Eight is perfect cuz it's going to take out the pincer. Take the
Oh, cuz you're going there and there.
Okay, now no one's holding my ass down.
Right.
I'm going to now move with my swift as a wolf using stamina instead of MP to move eight. Ah. And we gain Did you gain We bumped up
We were at one, yeah, from the basic attack.
So, base attack and now I'm moving. Um
Can I go through them or no?
No.
No. Okay. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Am I still within range? 1 2 3 4. Not within I'm in range of you.
No.
[snorts]
Uh okay. So, then we should do that. 1 2 3 4 5 6
There you go.
Now within range.
Yep.
[clears throat]
Um Uh I guess I could have made one more attack before I walked away.
I can get this to five. For me to spend before
All right. I'll still hit with my bow then. Don't matter to me. Um cuz I still have one.
Yeah. Um and that's going to kill the penguin at least.
Okay.
Nice.
[snorts]
Yay! All right. So, now my turn. Now I'll move, then I will do battle riff spending a magic. [snorts] I have one MP left. That will get me zero. So, let's [ __ ] re-roll. And that gets me one, which is fine cuz I get this to five. Then I will do shredding lick spending all five. To get one Okay. Just one. To get us one. Which will go across and then just up one.
So, that will go I guess there and there. All right. Not mob. Not mob. Not mob. We're all though. Mob and they're going to do mandible again. Which
Should be it's got a U cuz you're closest.
me.
Um it's fine. We got this.
Yeah, he would try to get the closest if you if we were like this then but he can't hit both of us so he goes after closest and it's blue.
Oh, blue is better. Blue I have stuff to block. Hell yeah. Is it two or three?
It is three.
Oh, well I'm dead. No. I thought it was going to be two.
Uh
It would have been two except they have the power uh thing so everything gets
was it Uh is that because they got up to seven? [clears throat] I thought this this is not only last one round.
I think it lasts the entire fight.
Hm.
Um [snorts] Okay. Well, with that being the case I will go ahead and move. One, two, three. It gets me that and then pretty much I'm just going to do a war axe and just keep attacking. Endurance. That's a natural 20. That should actually just be enough to kill him because
Don't you get something special for natural 20?
Yeah, it automatically just gives me seven combo.
Yeah, you get to go again.
Yep. So, I'll hit there. Then with my free action I will attack with my war axe again. Get a 17. Which I'll hit here.
Oh, now we're going to roll well.
Hey, right and then for my last action that's enough.
So, he's dead. I was enraged. So, we are going to get a total of four um XP which puts us at five. So
So we should be able to get
We have we should have 42 total XP.
Yep.
And then Uh here I'll roll for the ants. Okay, we get 1K.
I'm like, "Oh, Zephy. Oh, please. I need a kiss."
Uh and we read special event 97 for killing
a big
Shamont defeated. The Shamont stumbles knocked down by your attacks. Her antenna begin twitching and rubbing together making a sort of high-pitched scraping noise. Too late, you realize it's a sort of signal. Just to the north, a door breaks open and ants burst out with an old man held tightly in their grasp. "Help me!" the man cries as the ants clamber over the city wall. The Shamont slips away in the chaos of the moment bringing what's left of her colony with her.
"Please, come here. I can help you."
a voice calls from the tower where the ants burst out of. Well, add travel 26 to the bottom of the travel discard pile, add job 27 to the job deck, and then draw small 48 and trash this card. And we will do all that next time. I hope you're enjoying. Stick around for the rest of the series. Like Like, comment, share, and subscribe and have a wonderful whatever time of day this is for you.
