SPEAKER_18

Thanks so much for joining us for the finale of our Curse of Strahd adventure.

SPEAKER_18

I'm gonna be very tight.

SPEAKER_09

I'm nervous, like my hands are starting to shake again.

SPEAKER_18

Last episode, the party secured the bones, the skull of the legendary silver dragon Argenvast, and returned it to its home in uh Argenvast Holt, lighting the beacon and giving hope to everyone across the land as they set their sights on Castle Ravenloft for the final time. Before that, they returned Gertruda, the young girl, their kind of their first quest after the Death House was to find this girl that they finally ended up uh retrieving, bringing her home to her mother, and uh returning this family to peace yet again. They reunited with Zulika and Emile, who have joined them in this quest for the final battle at Castle Ravenloft. On their journey, they also stopped at Old Bone Grinder and picked up Esmerelda di Avenir, who seemingly was on her way to do exactly what they're planning on doing, and Fight Strahd uh very frustrated with her old mentor that he did not want to accompany her. Uh, but uh she will be a valuable companion uh on this on this battle. You guys are standing on the other side of the drawbridge. You're sitting in the wagon, pulled by Jacques. Uh, you have Zulika and Emil running next to you, and Esmeralda has pulled up and stopped her wagon in front of the drawbridge, uh waiting for the rest of you.

SPEAKER_21

SPEAKER_02

Silas, Silas Thatcher.

SPEAKER_13

My grandpa had a uh heavy influence on the name. But uh ultimately my mom agreed and seems that they knew where my heart truly lied. Its roots mean wood or forest. It's derived from the name Sylvanus meaning of the forest or wooded.

SPEAKER_21

It's uh the name of someone who protects forests in the countryside. You can say that whenever you want.

SPEAKER_13

I just don't want to draw out of here. He still doesn't know it, and that makes me feel like I have a one of them.

SPEAKER_01

Don't think I didn't see what just happened.

SPEAKER_13

Hold Nans and No you I know you did.

SPEAKER_09

Why didn't you look at me? Did you see that? I swear to God, you're talking about a horse about me.

SPEAKER_10

Any time a horse looks at you, it's cursing you in some way.

SPEAKER_09

SPEAKER_09

I didn't think so. It gave he gave me like a knowing look, like I'm supposed to know what he's talking about. I don't know.

SPEAKER_10

One of these didn't know that to kick you. I don't think I don't think Jaquese would kick either of us. He'd probably kick me.

SPEAKER_13

Well, he would not kick you, don't worry.

SPEAKER_10

Would you kick me?

SPEAKER_13

Jaquiz, would you quick would Willow would you kick Leo? Would you ever kick Leo? No. Yeah, he said no.

SPEAKER_10

He was like Jack.

SPEAKER_22

You don't understand it.

SPEAKER_13

He said no, Leo.

SPEAKER_19

Of course he wouldn't.

SPEAKER_10

Oh, thanks, Jaquis. You're a good buddy. Nay.

SPEAKER_13

You can't say that, Leo.

SPEAKER_18

I knew it was a little bit more than that. I'm joking about Table Joker. As Merelda hops out of her wagon, uh, she kind of stands right uh at the edge. She's been to Castle Ravenloff, so she knows the danger of crossing. Yep. Uh same with Zulika and Emile. Uh they kind of are awaiting one of the three of you to take the first step onto the drawbridge. Whenever you're ready, just roll a D20.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, Larry is standing at the edge, and she's like kind of hyping herself up to go across. It's like shaking her arms. Okay.

SPEAKER_11

Alright.

SPEAKER_18

Is that in that one?

SPEAKER_11

Yes.

SPEAKER_18

Okay.

SPEAKER_11

Oh, on my birthday!

SPEAKER_18

Oh yeah. Happy birthday, Lily. Happy birthday, Lily.

SPEAKER_11

Thank you.

SPEAKER_18

You shouldn't rule. Leo takes the first step onto the bridge, and the first board snaps, breaks, starts to fall a thousand feet down. Leo Anita deck say. Since he's right there, you would need any kind of help. No. Fuck.

SPEAKER_09

But if he's near me, I have a plus three. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_22

Um what happened?

SPEAKER_18

Uh DC is 10.

SPEAKER_22

15. 16. 16.

SPEAKER_18

Describe what happens to Leo as he succeeds.

SPEAKER_22

Um. What a great start. Jesus.

SPEAKER_06

Okay. Um Jesus.

SPEAKER_10

I don't even know. I'm so scared.

SPEAKER_18

Uh you slip uh a board breaks under her feet. You Leo! Uh manage to tuck and roll and land on some safe ground. Oh god. Um and uh look back at the rest of your group in this stunned silence.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, Lyria was like about to take a step. She finally hyped herself up and just I said don't step there.

SPEAKER_10

Um can I also just like can I say that I prayed to Saluna like a lot on the way here and stuff?

SPEAKER_18

You won't have to ask me, yeah.

SPEAKER_10

I'm just saying. Yeah, you can just say, oh, if I have Leo, Leo was praying the whole freaking way.

SPEAKER_13

Uh Jesus.

SPEAKER_10

I can't believe we're rolling that one. That's insane. My dice hate me today. I got it, I got it, I got it.

SPEAKER_21

You sure? It's good this time. Yep, yep, yep, yep.

SPEAKER_13

Not a one. Okay.

SPEAKER_09

Not a one.

SPEAKER_18

Esmeralda. Zulika. You all get across the drawbridge safely. Halfway across, you start to see through this thick fog what is awaiting you at Castle Ravenloft. A front line of eight zombies. Behind them, you see four vampires spawn. And behind them, you see two Strahd von Zarevich. Excuse me.

SPEAKER_08

What? What?

SPEAKER_18

Standing in the doorway guarding his castle. Two of them. Two of them.

SPEAKER_09

Okay.

SPEAKER_18

Did he make a fucking simulacrum of himself?

SPEAKER_09

Well, this isn't the prophecy. We're not in the tomb yet, so I doubt it's actually him.

SPEAKER_10

Is it foggy at the head?

SPEAKER_18

It is very foggy. It's the fog.

SPEAKER_15

Most likely. I don't know.

SPEAKER_18

I don't like it. It is not the fog that is on the borders of the tree line and things like that. It definitely does not encroach. It is just the atmosphere here is very thick and heavy as you slowly and carefully walk across the drawbridge, and then what is waiting for you comes into view. You guys are still on the drawbridge, not quite up to the portcullis, but you see them in the distance. Uh and they seem to be waiting for you. Um as this light from the beacon does reach to where you are, it is kind of mixing into that fog and obscuring vision even further. Uh but the fact that it has reached Castle Ravenloft means that Strahd knows it's been lit, and he knows that everything that you guys needed to do in Castle Ravenloft apart from kill him has been done. Yeah and he is now ready for your assault on his castle. Yep. They're all undead.

SPEAKER_10

Oh, I'm turning them.

SPEAKER_13

Turnin' me.

SPEAKER_10

Absolutely. I was also thinking about using my pipes of haunting to scare them first. But I don't know. Because that's three charges that I never use it.

SPEAKER_13

I would just use your channel to Vinny, because it'll frighten them anyways.

SPEAKER_10

Hopefully.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_10

Um, okay. How far is these sons of bitches?

SPEAKER_21

They won't know what hit 'em. They won't know what hit 'em.

SPEAKER_09

I have to be within 30 feet of the first time.

SPEAKER_21

Yeah, my answer steady.

SPEAKER_18

Swiftly pull out, swiftly and slowly. Let me cross those. Load each of them. Flick my fingers.

SPEAKER_20

Give it a little flourish.

SPEAKER_21

Okay.

SPEAKER_09

And she'll pull this out. Just real dramatic and hold it out.

SPEAKER_18

And as you pull it out for the first time using it, as you even think about using it, this is just a hilt.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_18

As you send the signal to the sword that you are about to use it in an effort to kill Strahd.

SPEAKER_11

Holy shit!

SPEAKER_18

This holy radiant sunlight ignites like a lightsaber almost. That is sick. As you stand there surrounded by this sunlight that is being cast off. You see everyone, uh, all of these undead kind of kind of stick it around.

SPEAKER_09

Okay. Leo just goes, ha! I know, right?

SPEAKER_19

I was gonna I'm about to say stolen words out of my mouth.

SPEAKER_09

It's okay, I can always hear it again. Quick draw.

SPEAKER_18

As Merelda looks at the three of you.

SPEAKER_09

You ready?

SPEAKER_18

They're waiting for us. Uh, you see, she takes out her uh rapier and her silvered short sword, uh, wielding in both hands, uh, and begins to walk forward. Uh, she'll take the lead. Okay.

SPEAKER_10

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_18

Um don't die. You guys can put yourselves wherever and put the werewolves.

SPEAKER_09

I'm gonna be right up beside her.

SPEAKER_20

Is this a spa?

SPEAKER_18

Or is this the simple spot? Uh this is the colors here.

SPEAKER_09

Uh, right next to us.

SPEAKER_18

So everything past that is the bridge.

SPEAKER_10

15, 22. I'm not gonna be able to reach all of them.

SPEAKER_20

That's if I'm here, but you will.

SPEAKER_10

Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five.

SPEAKER_20

Thirty. I can't get you can get all the spawn.

SPEAKER_10

And not the ones on the outside.

SPEAKER_18

You can get all the spawn and uh just not the strauds. Okay. As as Merelda takes the lead, everyone else files in, uh starting to walk slow and carefully across the drawbridge, but once your feet set past the stone uh and the cobbles and dirt uh of safe ground, uh, everyone starts to run forward and the zombies start to lurch forward at you as well, and you guys meet at a head. Roll initiative.

SPEAKER_14

Okay.

SPEAKER_19

Leo, if I get a higher initiative than you.

SPEAKER_14

Oh fuck.

SPEAKER_19

I can switch with you so you can turn them. Yeah. We're probably gonna switch.

SPEAKER_10

I think that these dice might be cursed tonight, actually. Mine definitely are. Mine definitely are cursed.

SPEAKER_18

I got a 28. Are you switching with Leo? So you can turn him real fast. You could probably take care of a lot of the zombies. Yeah, so Leo and I are gonna switch. So quick draws four, Leo's 28. Yes. And Leary?

SPEAKER_02

Two. I'm not 28 anymore.

SPEAKER_18

Dang! Oh my god. Two.

SPEAKER_10

I don't have a plus two initiative, and I rolled a two. Can we say that before we did this when we were on our way to the bridge? Like when we were on the bridge, I cast freedom of movement on her.

SPEAKER_18

Well, you didn't say that before we started recording, so sure.

SPEAKER_10

So you uh how long does that last? An hour. Okay. And it's not concentration, okay, which is why I'm doing it.

SPEAKER_18

That's pretty good.

SPEAKER_10

Um so you are unaffected by difficult terrain. Um, spells and other magical effects can either reduce your speed or cause you to have the paralyzed or restrained conditions. You also have a swim speed equal to your speed. Um in addition, the target can spend five feet of movement to automatically escape non-magical restraints, such as manacles or the creature imposing the grappled condition.

SPEAKER_19

That's pretty cool. That's nice. That's really useful.

SPEAKER_10

It's one of the such a good spell.

SPEAKER_13

That's awesome. So basically, you can't be restrained or paralyzed with it. Leo, you're up first.

SPEAKER_10

Okay, I'm going to cast my um channel divinity, seer, and turn undead. So they all of the spawn, all of the are these zombies are spawn.

SPEAKER_18

The zombies are the front.

SPEAKER_10

Um, they have to make wisdom DC 16 saving throws.

SPEAKER_13

You can get this one. You can get the outside spawn too. You can get the floor spawn.

SPEAKER_10

I can. I'm stupid. Ouch.

SPEAKER_18

Yeah, so all the zombies and all the spawn you'll get.

SPEAKER_10

Just not the strads.

SPEAKER_18

Okay. So what's the save? 16?

SPEAKER_10

Yes. Wisdom 16.

SPEAKER_18

Wisdom 16. I'm gonna roll the vampires first. Uh one vampire succeeded, the one uh closest to me. The uh zombies. Wow. Uh the three closest to me as well.

SPEAKER_10

Damn. The ones that failed um are all frightened, they take 15 radiant damage, um, and they have to spend their turns um running away from me.

SPEAKER_15

Okay.

SPEAKER_10

If they get hit, um, they knocks them out of it. Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_18

So that's five zombies now that are bloody and frightened. Uh, we don't have enough. Tokens for that, uh, but it's the three that are closest to me that succeeded. Um, and then the vampire. Uh one of them succeeded. Okay.

SPEAKER_10

Is this like I can walk out of here and hide?

SPEAKER_18

Uh that is the castle walls surrounding it.

SPEAKER_10

So like if I go five 1520 if I go like you.

SPEAKER_18

No, you can't just go up on the castle wall.

SPEAKER_10

Oh, on the wall.

SPEAKER_18

Yeah, that's where the portcullis is that leads to the draw cards. No, no, no.

SPEAKER_02

Um hell get it.

SPEAKER_18

So, a great first move as you take out all but four of these undead uh into the frightened condition. Is that your turn? Yes.

SPEAKER_17

Okay.

SPEAKER_18

All but four don't take their turns. Um all right, so the vampires, three of them will have to run away. The one is going to run up to Emile and attack. So it's gonna be two claw attacks. Uh actually, the sunlight. Um from the sun sword, how big is that?

SPEAKER_09

Um, good question.

SPEAKER_18

Um, sun blade. Bright light in a 15-foot radius, and dim light for an additional 15 feet. So 30 feet of sunlight. Damn! Uh, so as the vampires start their turn because of the sunlight from the sun sword, they will take 20 radiant.

SPEAKER_10

Let's fucking go. Amazing.

SPEAKER_18

No save, nothing.

SPEAKER_10

I'm never converting. I'm staying with that always. Leo because he also knows that you're confident in your faith and he admires that about you.

SPEAKER_18

Uh, let's see, zombies.

SPEAKER_09

Also, it wouldn't look good in the all the, you know, dark that's you'll see.

SPEAKER_18

Zombies do not.

SPEAKER_09

It's my thing. It would wash you out. You would, yeah.

SPEAKER_18

Worship.

SPEAKER_09

I say as I sit here in full black.

SPEAKER_07

It's fine.

SPEAKER_18

Uh, so the first claw is going to hit. Um, they are not going to be grappled because werewolves are large. Uh good to know. And so it cannot be bitten. So it will just have to claw again.

SPEAKER_09

Too big to be bitten.

SPEAKER_18

The second one is going to miss.

SPEAKER_09

No. No, didn't like that.

SPEAKER_05

I know that it's. Oh, thank you.

SPEAKER_18

10 slashing damage to Emile right off the bat. Uh, as a zombie runs, or not zombie, a vampire runs up. The only one that was not frightened runs up, scratches him, uh, goes to scratch him the second time, tries to grab hold of him, but uh he is too big, too strong, too hairy. Oh no.

SPEAKER_12

Too hairy. Too hairy to get greasy.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah, sexy for his shirt.

SPEAKER_12

Sexy for my shirt. Sexy for my shirt.

SPEAKER_09

The uh Comeo's playlist. It is. He was one of the first ones that you put on there. Yeah.

SPEAKER_18

The what? Well, I was waiting for them to stop talking. Oh.

SPEAKER_10

As usual.

SPEAKER_18

The uh the strauds in the background are going to shoot uh this ray of sickening uh greenish, greenish energy towards uh Lyrielle.

SPEAKER_05

Alright.

SPEAKER_18

I need you to make a DC twelve con save twice for me, please.

SPEAKER_11

Should have been me.

SPEAKER_09

Okay. Uh one success.

SPEAKER_18

Alright, you will take nine poison damage, and you will be poisoned until the end of this uh Strahd's next turn.

SPEAKER_06

What does that do to me?

SPEAKER_18

Uh you have disadvantage on checks. Uh so pretty much all I think it's attack rolls and saves. Let me just double check. You have disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks. Correct. Alright. Until she's well, I guess until she's magically healed. No, until she until the poison ends, which will be the end of uh this creature's next turn. I can get rid of it.

SPEAKER_08

Uh it's fun.

SPEAKER_18

That is their turn. Um five zombies are going to run away. Strahd zombies.

SPEAKER_19

Opportunity attack.

SPEAKER_10

Unless you're going to be able to do that.

SPEAKER_19

We don't want to.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah, because then he would be out of it.

SPEAKER_13

Get out of my way.

SPEAKER_10

But it also might kill him because he's bloody. And I only did 15 damage. That's what, two opportunity attacks?

SPEAKER_18

Uh yeah, Esmeralda is going to take one. Of course she is. Uh.

SPEAKER_10

But if it goes it, hmm?

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10

That'd be nice. Esmeralda or uh this guy?

SPEAKER_18

Esmeralda.

SPEAKER_10

Isn't he right there?

SPEAKER_18

Huh?

SPEAKER_10

Is he right there?

SPEAKER_18

There were five of them.

SPEAKER_10

You're right.

SPEAKER_18

So Zulika could as well. Zulika does not want to. It's gonna hit.

SPEAKER_02

Great.

SPEAKER_18

And that's gonna be 10 piercing damage. So not going to kill it. Can I take a topportunity attack?

SPEAKER_12

Hmm.

SPEAKER_19

Technically I'm beside a meal. I mean easily good. Okay.

SPEAKER_18

Uh ooh, that's a 13. That will hit. Cool. AC on these guys is eight.

SPEAKER_04

Jesus. I can't miss it.

SPEAKER_18

Silumna, I mean.

SPEAKER_19

Since before they moved, an ally was in five feet of them. Will I have sneak attack on this?

SPEAKER_18

Um. Since before, it's before they technically. Leave so, unless there's any specification with sneak attack that it must be on your turn.

SPEAKER_10

I was gonna say, isn't it an action?

SPEAKER_18

Sneak attack isn't an action, it just happens.

SPEAKER_10

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_18

But it might specify once per turn. Yeah, so it's since it's not on your turn, then no. Okay.

SPEAKER_10

I don't know why all this Interjaxon, I've never played a rogue.

SPEAKER_18

So that's another eight damage. Okay. That is to a different one than the one that she attacked. Yes, I guess it would be. So uh that uh both of them are out of frightened. Uh they are these two are not frightened, but very, very hurt. I'll let them deal with the zombies. The other three zombies that were not frightened are going to leap on to Liriel.

SPEAKER_10

Ew. What is the noise he usually makes?

unknown

What?

SPEAKER_10

Britain, that's the noise he usually makes for zombies.

SPEAKER_18

Uh it's gonna be three bite attacks and six claw attacks.

SPEAKER_09

Okay.

SPEAKER_18

I'm gonna do the bite attacks first. What's your AC right now?

SPEAKER_09

17.

SPEAKER_18

17, 17, 17. That's gonna be two hits with the bite.

SPEAKER_09

I hope two for seven piercing damage. Okay. That's fine.

SPEAKER_18

And two hits with the claws.

SPEAKER_07

Okay.

SPEAKER_09

Okay. Well you're doing bad. I'm nervous. No, we're fine. I'm still above half, but I'm still nervous.

SPEAKER_18

Getting absolutely uh ganged up on is Lyriel, uh, as all three zombies are biting you scratchily quite. Did you see my eyes? I did, yes. Uh that is gonna be their turn. Okay. Okay. And the two werewolves. Uh Zulika looks back to you and and goes, What should I do?

SPEAKER_01

You're in charge here.

SPEAKER_18

She her options kind of are chase after the frightened ones, uh, away from the group, run at the two Strahds, or stick with the group and attack those uh zombies.

SPEAKER_10

I think Luciana.

SPEAKER_19

Get the zombies out of her way.

SPEAKER_18

Okay.

SPEAKER_10

Or that, yeah.

SPEAKER_07

I'm they're hanging off of her arms. I'm fine!

SPEAKER_10

She's doing a lot of damage. It might be good to stick her on Strahd.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10

Go get him.

SPEAKER_18

Um go fetch. Zulika is going to attack the one zombie. That way we can clear them. Because the in numbers, they're bad if they hit. Because there's a lot of them. Uh, she's going to make one scratch attack and one bite attack. Uh, we'll start with the scratch. Obviously, hits for 13 slashing damage. Not quite bloody, but uh the zombie is decapitated. Excellent.

SPEAKER_15

Great.

SPEAKER_18

Um it is still alive, but can no longer make the bite attack. Oh my god. Thank you.

SPEAKER_09

Ah, okay. Lovely. Gross. But does that turn into two enemies?

SPEAKER_18

No.

SPEAKER_05

Is it another hand situation or something?

SPEAKER_18

The head no.

SPEAKER_07

Oh god.

SPEAKER_18

Heads will roll because of the heads on the ground.

SPEAKER_11

You're not making the test.

SPEAKER_18

If you kick those out of his head into the doorway of the of Castle Ravenloff, you guys win.

unknown

Yep.

SPEAKER_18

Worked up. That's what I just said. Uh okay, fine attack. Just hits with a three on the die. Seven piercing. It doesn't have to worry about getting turned into a werewolf because it is undead. Uh, but that one is now bloody. So the only non-bloody zombies are the two closest to me on on Liriel's right side, uh, as as uh Zulika laid into one of them for 20 total damage. Her husband, Emile, is going to attack the vampire that was attacking him. He's gonna make two attacks. Bite first. Uh bite is going to miss. Scratch is going to hit eight slashing damage to this uh vampire. That was the first time that he was hit, so he has not taken very much damage. He is pretty much full health. Uh, these those vampires are pretty tough, you guys know from from fighting a couple of those. You took out Rahad, and and a few of them uh ran away uh thanks to Leo's turn on dead again. How quick draw says it. Red in. Um Esmerelda now has her chance to show what she can do. Uh she is not gonna ask for goods. She is just going to try to take out this uh very hurt zombie in front of her. She literally can't miss. I don't know why I rolled. It could have been a crit, I guess. Uh oh, yikes. A one on the d8 for the damage. Um, so that's gonna be six damage. Not gonna quite kill it, so she will use silvered short sword as her second attack. That's gonna hit and that will take out this zombie. Uh she uh so you see her stab through its heart with her rapier and then reach around with her silvered short sword and uh slash off its head, uh, and then it slides off her rapier. She kind of puts it under her arm and wipes off the zombie guts uh from her from her very you've got a lot of deep-seated rage, haven't you?

SPEAKER_01

I've got to take this man out. And these are just his bones.

SPEAKER_18

Awesome. Damn straight.

SPEAKER_01

Fair enough.

SPEAKER_18

The first enemy is off the board. Uh quick draw is up, Leary on deck. Battle. Uh, can you move me like two squares forward, please?

SPEAKER_05

Is that good?

SPEAKER_19

Yep. I'm firing at the Strad right in front of me. Okay. Twenty-four to hit. That'll do it. Extra attack. Natural twenty. Holy fuck. Third attack bonus action. Another twenty-four. Okay. So for the crit. Uh let's do this first.

SPEAKER_18

Let's do regular first.

SPEAKER_19

Because no, I can't. Nope, I'm not gonna do that. I was thinking about using dreadful strike, which is another 2d6 damage, but I'm gonna save that.

SPEAKER_18

Just a reminder, with your big man silvered bolts, you get an extra damage die, I believe it is. Uh, that is correct. On a crit. Awesome.

SPEAKER_19

Bucket. Bucket. Alright, let's roll crit damage first.

SPEAKER_20

Six, seven, ten. Fourteen. Twenty. Okay, so that was sneak attack. So it's thirty plus eight.

SPEAKER_19

So it's thirty-eight. Would I get another damage die on sneak attack as well or just the bolt?

SPEAKER_18

Uh I think it's just one extra damage die from the bolt. But you're doubling all damage die. Wait. No, that's accounting for the fact that you crit. So you're not doubling the extra one that gives you. Oh. Yeah. So yeah, no. Yeah. Okay. I'm not doubling the extra. I know. I I just added that up in my mind. So for the crit alone, that's 38 plus 6. 38 plus 6 is 42. With 16 hit points. I knew it. You shoot this uh bolt directly into this witch's heart. Yeah. And immediately the concentration on the altar self spell breaks as she gets shot into the doorway of Castle Ravenloft, falls dead, just obliterated by this uh cosmically strong uh bolt attack. Uh so if that one died. Then you can transfer the rest of the other two attacks. Absolutely. Excellent. Uh I'm just gonna use regular bolts for these. So eight plus ten is eighteen damage. How do you want to do this? Nice. Just one after the other. Into the heart of each. Immediately the two altered self-strads, uh, which turned out to be these hideous Barovian witches uh that they die so quickly that they can't even let out a cackle, no matter how much they want to. Are just flung and slink down their dead bodies. Ha new it resting against the building.

SPEAKER_09

Nothing.

SPEAKER_18

Just then, as you reveal that these neither of these were in fact Strahd himself, the lightning strikes. You look up to where you saw him one time before as you were leaving, as he scared you off, almost killing you. He watches his arms crossed from his tower looking down.

SPEAKER_06

He's scammed.

SPEAKER_18

I have death in my eyes looking up at me.

SPEAKER_06

Did we all see him?

SPEAKER_18

Uh yeah. I think with that that lightning strike and being in the courtyard, you guys would initi like just instinctively she's gonna raise the sword and wave it at him. Uh with that, you see he reaches up and snaps. Fuck. You don't see anything. Whoa. That was crazy. That was not here.

SPEAKER_11

I think it was fireworks.

SPEAKER_19

Okay. If it was Yeah I don't think it's supposed to not a cloud in the sky. It sounded like thunder, but you snapped.

SPEAKER_14

There was a weird sound out there.

SPEAKER_18

That's that's scary. Okay. Um he snaps. You don't see anything happen, but you know Strahd. He obviously was planning something greater than these weaklings for half of them can't do anything anyway. So you're gonna be frightened for the next turn, I would assume. Yes. That'll bring you to Leary.

SPEAKER_09

Okay. Uh I'm going to bonus action. Use um five uh hit points from my lay on hands charges to purify poison to get rid of that.

SPEAKER_18

Okay. Um two zombies directly next to you. Neither of them have been hit yet.

SPEAKER_09

Okay. The one directly next to me is gonna get both attacks to it. Um 23 and a Nat 20. Let's go. I'm not actually, you know what? Okay.

SPEAKER_13

They don't have a lot, but yeah.

SPEAKER_09

That is not a D no, I need one of these. Um, the Sun Sword gives me an extra two d eight on top of the D10. When it's against undead creatures.

SPEAKER_18

Yeah, that shit's strong.

SPEAKER_20

So that's uh two D ten.

SPEAKER_09

Plus six. Um awesome. Debating if I want to just use how much is it? How much did you it's or wait? I forgot I have two attacks, so I have to do this. What's easy? Okay.

SPEAKER_18

Do you want to do do the crit first? Because you'll probably kill it.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, that's what we're doing now. Um 33.

SPEAKER_18

Nice. How do you want to do this? Yeah, twice over, damn.

SPEAKER_09

She waves it at Strahd and then just whack.

SPEAKER_18

Oh, they have 30 hit points actually.

SPEAKER_09

The zombies just diagonal.

SPEAKER_18

Most of them have 15 because they got hit by the diagonal.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, just a diagonal slice.

SPEAKER_18

Um doesn't even really look and then you can hit the other one effortless with your other attack.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah. This one I might spite. Oh no, I can't.

SPEAKER_13

Um you're taking longer than me.

SPEAKER_09

Alright. 17.

SPEAKER_18

Okay. This one is bloody. All of the zombies are now bloody. Um Strawn Zombies. Awesome. Is it the end of your turn?

Okay. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_10

Now I have a question about my 15-foot emanation. It's not it doesn't say 15-foot radius. Is that like, does that start at me? That's five feet.

SPEAKER_18

15 feet all around you, yeah. That's what an emanation is. So it wouldn't get this guy. No, it would.

SPEAKER_10

It would go 5, 10, 15, or go 5, 10, 15.

SPEAKER_18

It's outworks from you.

SPEAKER_10

Okay, so it would hit him.

SPEAKER_18

Yep. So two of them wiped out initially. Their frightened condition ends, but they're still fucking scared. They're just like the guy charging at him. Goodness. You just run. Their whole game plan here was to scare the shit out of you guys and be like, you're not getting in here. Immediately, they are on their heels running away as you are chasing them down.

SPEAKER_07

Or run like Scott Hunter. Get that watery blueberry smoothie, bitch. Yeah.

SPEAKER_19

Since they're gonna start their turn in there, or is it when they end their turn in there that they get hit again?

SPEAKER_10

SPEAKER_19

Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

I read it.

SPEAKER_19

I just forgot which one it was.

SPEAKER_10

Oh, my plus four. Ignore that rule. I clicked the wrong thing.

SPEAKER_10

I do have two level five spell slots with greater restoration, and I can take that away.

SPEAKER_19

Does lesser restoration cure that?

SPEAKER_10

I don't believe so. If it does, I don't know.

SPEAKER_09

Let's see what has to do.

SPEAKER_19

Because it only cures conditions.

SPEAKER_09

Lester doesn't help.

SPEAKER_19

Save your plus save your five spell slots because mass cure wounds. Yeah, I have to just an action, not a bonus factor.

SPEAKER_18

You hear the footsteps. Oh, so sad.

SPEAKER_05

My plus three is gone. Or my plus four is gone.

SPEAKER_18

Stop gathering your minis of more zombies running around the corner.

SPEAKER_10

This is gonna be such a long fucking episode. Do you think we'll finish it tonight?

SPEAKER_13

We're gonna do it. I'm finishing it tonight. I'm finishing it off tonight. We're finishing it off tonight. It's gonna happen.

SPEAKER_22

Tonight.

SPEAKER_13

SPEAKER_18

We're gonna hit the club tonight.

SPEAKER_22

Jesus. Ugh. Okay.

SPEAKER_18

Guys. Another group of eight zombies run around from the wings of the courtyard, uh, hoping to finish you guys off. And in that moment, uh don't look at me like that.

SPEAKER_07

What?

SPEAKER_18

I said finish you guys off, and then I and then I see.

SPEAKER_07

No, I'm looking at you with hate in my eyes. I know the difference.

SPEAKER_18

Very different.

SPEAKER_01

Uh Esmeralda goes, he's just going to keep sending them in. Why don't we stay out here, protect you, uh, and you run inside to fight him? I had a feeling you're right.

SPEAKER_18

I was also thinking so. Way ahead of you. Uh as he's saying that, uh Zulika and Emil are trying to rip through this last shadow.

SPEAKER_09

Thank you. Would not like to have any more strength sucked out of me.

SPEAKER_03

Fucking help it.

SPEAKER_18

Yeah. Uh they do. They absolutely rip through him. Uh and the shadows are no more. More zombies are coming in from the flanks, but you now have an opportunity to run inside if you opt for it.

SPEAKER_10

I can dash and help them by getting these bitches while we run.

SPEAKER_19

They have 30, though. Probably just all three of us run in together. Okay. Honestly.

SPEAKER_10

Well, because I have I already have my spirit guardians up, so I'm saying if I if I take the dash action, I dash, hit them, and then dash back.

SPEAKER_18

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10

Esmeralda.

SPEAKER_18

After she says that, she's going to look at you, Leary, and goes, He seems to be talking targeting you specifically.

SPEAKER_22

Oh, you think?

SPEAKER_18

Puts her hand on her shoulder. I know we've had our disagreements, but take this.

SPEAKER_05

I tried to befriend you, and you thought I was a technical word.

SPEAKER_18

We're kind of a little bit of a catfight going on.

SPEAKER_05

That's just for how I talk with the face. Hey, let's go. Thank you. Awesome. It's Merald, I just have resting bitch face.

unknown

Fine.

SPEAKER_18

We were just tired. It was a long day. Strahd will have disadvantage on attack rolls against you. You better remember that. You cannot be charmed, frightened, or possessed by the body. You better remember that.

SPEAKER_09

Something happened.

SPEAKER_11

Ew.

SPEAKER_13

I'm just making a face and a lot of it.

SPEAKER_11

I felt the most evil aura coming from you. No more.

SPEAKER_09

It's something about the combination of the mouth being open and the fucking pee-but.

SPEAKER_18

Okay. Are you guys all going to use this opportunity to run inside? Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah, but I am gonna detour.

SPEAKER_18

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wisdom 16?

SPEAKER_11

Yep.

SPEAKER_18

Wisdom zizi. All of them. Wisdom zizing. Wisdom zizzy. Two of them fail, two of them succeed.

SPEAKER_10

Failures 15 half as much on a success. I did not double that if they are also.

SPEAKER_18

Okay. They are not. Uh two of them are now bloody, so you definitely help out Zulika and uh and Emile and Esmeralda as they are fending off these waves of foes. Uh, as you guys continue running in, you hear uh the hissing of more vampires coming around the corner as well.

SPEAKER_10

It feels so bad they're gonna fucking die. They should have brought their whole pack.

SPEAKER_18

Plot armor. Um amazing. You guys get inside. Oh, okay. Hey yes, Leo's really good at that. Where you need to go. You've been told by Madame Eva you saw that Strahd is no longer in his tower. Okay. Mm-hmm. Okay.

SPEAKER_10

Before we go into that into the room, I have so many things I want to do.

SPEAKER_13

How many things?

SPEAKER_10

A couple of things.

SPEAKER_13

What are the things?

SPEAKER_13

Okay.

SPEAKER_10

Okay.

SPEAKER_13

What's the scroll of protection?

SPEAKER_10

Um, so it gives the undead um. It creates a five-foot emanation emanation originating from me for five minutes. Undead can't enter or affect anything in the area. However, if you move in such a way that an undead could be inside the area, the effect ends.

SPEAKER_14

Okay.

SPEAKER_09

Um I already can't be frightened, but with my aura, neither of you two can be if you're within ten feet of me. Cool. Jesus. I'm also gonna I am gonna cast haste on myself before we go in.

unknown

Cool.

SPEAKER_18

Yeah, you guys have a couple minutes of stairwells and things to go through.

SPEAKER_10

Will you be lethargic if that if you break concentration on it? Yeah, but if you break concentration on it, will you be lethargic?

SPEAKER_09

Um spell ends. Yeah. It might be worth it though. But I think we'll be okay.

SPEAKER_13

Nice. Let's go.

SPEAKER_10

Okay. And he can't affect me unless I move into his area.

SPEAKER_09

It's alright. I'll be the one up in his area. Hey, well, not too much to say that. But it's true. Horrifying. But my AC is 19 now, so I feel safer. I feel kind of better. He tried to scratch me when I just had 16 and he couldn't hit, so.

SPEAKER_01

Are we ready?

SPEAKER_10

Jesus, I'm ready as well. We can ever be, I guess. I feel good. I feel good. We're gonna do this, guys. We're gonna do this. What?

If anything happens to us. Just know that this has been the greatest adventure of my entire life.

SPEAKER_13

I could not have done anything without y'all. Yes. There's no way I'd be where I am today without the two of you. And I hope we can keep hanging out together.

SPEAKER_10

Always. I hug both of you.

SPEAKER_19

Group hug.

unknown

Yes.

SPEAKER_19

Can you guys kneel down for that?

SPEAKER_09

We we have to make it through this because there's something I didn't say that I will regret if it does not. We just have to make it out.

SPEAKER_13

We'll make it out.

SPEAKER_09

We will.

SPEAKER_18

The air in the final descent rose heavy. On either side of the room of King Darrow and Queen Ravenovia resting as you look to one side. Destroyed. He is here, hunched over his mother's sarcophagus, in a visible frenzy of rage and despair. His once handsome features are contorted, his fingers clawing at the stone as if he's trying to reach through the marble to a piece that he can never find. He stands up with his silhouette from the light of the sword, casting a long shadow against the golden ceiling and these this wall behind him.

SPEAKER_00

I am the land. His eyes red, blazing as he prepares to end your lives. And here, in the shadow of my failure, he looks at his mother. You shall find only your graves.

SPEAKER_18

He reaches up his hands, squeezes his fists as tight as he can, grimacing, and all of the stained glass windows behind him shatter. And you feel the wind rush out of the room. As you know that this drop is about a thousand feet down.

SPEAKER_09

Holding the sword of his brother, this will not be the tomb of just one of your heirs. You have toyed with us, with these people, with this land. For the last time. That is my oath, and I intend to fulfill it.

SPEAKER_00

Come an end then.

SPEAKER_14

Gladly.

SPEAKER_18

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_05

Please don't let me roll bad on initiative.

SPEAKER_19

If it's bad, you got an inspo. I probably would use it on that.

SPEAKER_10

Not a nine. Did you get a one?

SPEAKER_13

Natural twenty for thirty. Holy shit.

SPEAKER_18

It will be Quick Draw, Leary, Leo, Straw. So it was a bad one. It was a natural one. I was secretly hoping that. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_14

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_18

Quick draw. You're the only one that's been in this room so far. Yes. You know the only way you got into this room was because you were small enough to fit around the statues. What would you like to do? It would be difficult to rain to get around. Okay. Uh then I will bonus action dash to get around them.

SPEAKER_17

Okay.

SPEAKER_18

Within range? Thirty feet. Quick draw runs down the stairs, maneuvers ever so quickly around these bronze statues and lines up a shot. Whoops.

SPEAKER_19

Your time is well overhanded. He has not taken his turn yet, so I will have advantage on him with assassinate.

SPEAKER_13

And I will be using my silver bolts. I have sixteen left.

SPEAKER_19

That's a natural twenty for the first one. Holy shit.

SPEAKER_15

God.

SPEAKER_19

Uh let me roll damage on that. Okay. So I'm gonna do sneak first, which is this sixty-six five, nine.

unknown

Oh, nineteen.

SPEAKER_20

Nineteen twenty-one. And then eight plus eight.

SPEAKER_19

Plus eight is thirty-four plus with dreadful strike.

SPEAKER_13

Six ten four forty-five damage.

SPEAKER_18

Okay. A huge hit in distraud. You're gonna turn him into uh so okay, though I only have one use of the dreadful strike.

SPEAKER_19

Uh second attack. It's a uh twenty-seven to hit. Third attack bonus action for a twenty-three to hit.

SPEAKER_18

Okay. That's it?

SPEAKER_19

Seven plus seven plus sixteen.

SPEAKER_22

Interesting.

SPEAKER_19

Okay. Seven plus sixteen is twenty one twenty three three. Three. Another twenty-three damage. Okay.

SPEAKER_18

That was a big, big chunk of damage. That is my turn.

SPEAKER_19

Amazing. Uh thane arranged for my prayers. I had that.

SPEAKER_18

Uh two silvered bolts sit. Three silvered bolts sit in Strahd's body as he kind of he looks like he's flexing his core, but beneath he's turning his body into mist for a second, and they all just fall out, and he kicks them to the side.

SPEAKER_09

Okay. I hate it, but that's kind of sick. That's kind of sick, not gonna lie.

SPEAKER_18

Try that again. Did that not do anything? You saw the first two bolts did not do anything. The third, a little bit of a wince.

SPEAKER_19

Even with the silver bolts. Lyriel. Wait, I forgot by extra damage die for the crit. That's another five piercing damage on the crit. Okay.

SPEAKER_06

Oh no. What the fuck? Okay, so you made us feel so confident. I would be able to cross in between the statues, yeah?

SPEAKER_13

You would try. I mean, you can try it. I don't know.

SPEAKER_09

Well, difficult terrain does not.

SPEAKER_10

He definitely said it was good aligned creatures in that episode. I just listened to it.

SPEAKER_17

What?

SPEAKER_10

That episode where you found this place. He said you would know that good aligned creatures could pass through.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Good aligned creatures, yeah. You can just walk right through.

SPEAKER_23

This is so hard to fucking.

SPEAKER_13

The squares are big, so they're like Yeah.

SPEAKER_10

30.

SPEAKER_09

With haste, I have an extra action, so I'm gonna dash.

SPEAKER_10

Don't you have more do you have a longer speed? No. What? I'm 30. No, but with haste, it doubles your movement speed. Fuck! Wait!

SPEAKER_09

I think I misbed my spell. That's big, huge if true. Okay, hold on.

SPEAKER_18

It is. Can I zoom the map out a little? Oh never mind.

unknown

No.

SPEAKER_10

Please. Fucking love haste.

SPEAKER_13

Oh man. Oh man. Turn and face her.

SPEAKER_09

Together again, isn't it great?

SPEAKER_18

Uh, you see this sunlight in his eyes is a bit bright.

SPEAKER_09

Sorry. Borrowed it from your brother.

SPEAKER_18

Are you kidding me? My crit did fucking nothing. I'm gonna kill myself. That makes me so angry. So I It did something, but uh I think he needs to be. It's hard to tell. I'll tell you after, but. Ah. Bastard.

SPEAKER_10

I think Yeah, he needs the light in order to get hit.

SPEAKER_18

No, because the third shot did end up doing some damage to him.

SPEAKER_09

So I am going to. I have three attacks with haste. Interesting. I am going to use as part of my attack action, I'm going to use my channel divinity to vow of enmity, so I'll have advantage on all attacks against Strad. And it's gonna be three hits with the Sunsword.

SPEAKER_13

Okay.

SPEAKER_10

Uh just a reminder, too, that haste it's not spell slot uh compatible anymore. What do you mean? Like if you smite and use a spell slot, I don't know if that'll work.

SPEAKER_13

Why? Smite's a bonus action too.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_13

Is it a bonus action to channel divinity?

SPEAKER_09

No. It's just part of the attack. Specifically, Valve Enmity is just when I attack. I can also say that I'm doing that.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah, it's just it doesn't say anything about that. Because haste is now like you can't do spells. Something stupid.

SPEAKER_19

Well, you can't do like two spells in a row, obviously.

SPEAKER_10

But she walked.

SPEAKER_09

I cast that before we walked in. Um, yeah, so three attacks with the sunsword at advantage.

SPEAKER_13

She's got charges of smites too.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah. Just remember when I had it for Sapphire, I could not use it on her. I had to I had to put it on King.

SPEAKER_20

So stupid.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10

Okay.

SPEAKER_09

So it's a twenty-five to hit once. Twenty-one. God damn it. Um, and a twenty-two. So three hits.

SPEAKER_18

I am he's undead. Yes.

SPEAKER_09

So that will be three D eight and three D ten plus fifteen. And I am going to on one of those use my charge of divine smite for an extra two D eight. I'll do that later.

SPEAKER_13

That bitch takes twenty damage.

SPEAKER_09

So that is going to be forty hold on. Do I need to split like radiant for him? Or does it not matter?

SPEAKER_18

Uh he is not weak to radiant. Okay. So it does.

SPEAKER_09

So then it is forty slashing and twelve radiant from the smite.

SPEAKER_18

Holy shit.

SPEAKER_20

Uh okay.

SPEAKER_18

Hitting you with the full concentrated power of the sun. He's getting a little hurt already. Hey. Good. He's getting a little hurt. You guys are pumping tons of damage into him.

SPEAKER_03

Pump that damage into him.

SPEAKER_18

Pump it.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_18

Leo.

SPEAKER_15

Alright.

SPEAKER_13

I think you want more.

SPEAKER_10

You're in my aura. Yay!

SPEAKER_18

You are just on the other side of the blue wall, by the way.

SPEAKER_10

That's okay. You're in my aura. Oh.

SPEAKER_18

If it's 30 feet from you, yeah.

SPEAKER_10

30 feet from you, you're in my aura. Cool. Half damage on necrotic. You can't uh your hit points can't be reduced. Sweet. Big. Huge. Um, I'm going to cast a guiding bolt at him.

unknown

Yeah. Oh, good boy, good, okay.

SPEAKER_10

Yes. 26 to hit.

SPEAKER_18

Uh, that's gonna hit. What are you smiling bad over there for?

SPEAKER_13

I don't like it. What are you evil laughing over there for?

SPEAKER_10

17. 17! 17! 17! Uh radiant damage, and uh the next attack has advantage.

SPEAKER_19

Okay, I think we all have advantage on him anyways.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah, because of bad.

SPEAKER_18

I do why because of uh I hit him because of Vex and then we're gonna get a I don't know. Is that your turn?

SPEAKER_11

Yep. Fuck. No fuck.

SPEAKER_18

Legendary action spite strike on zero. Gonna just miss.

SPEAKER_04

Oh here we are again.

SPEAKER_18

He is going to look at you.

SPEAKER_15

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

You're just their attack dog, aren't you?

SPEAKER_18

Change his accent. And then he is going to point at you.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_18

And I need. Oh, you can't be charmed because of freedom of movement. I need you to make a DC 18 wisdom save.

SPEAKER_09

And is this for charmed?

SPEAKER_18

It is not.

SPEAKER_09

Oh.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_18

Oh no. Is he gonna do the same thing that Baba Lababa did?

SPEAKER_09

That wasn't a save, that just happened to me. Or no. Did I fail in a save for that? I don't remember rolling a save for that. What was the DC?

SPEAKER_18

DC is 18. Wisdom.

SPEAKER_09

I'm gonna use my inspiration to reroll that.

SPEAKER_20

I don't like it.

SPEAKER_09

And that is a 22.

SPEAKER_18

Oh, okay. That was an attempt to polymorph you. A dog.

SPEAKER_11

There we go, Matt's best friend. You've been my best friend forever.

SPEAKER_18

But you force him out of your mind yet again. I've had a bunch of people in this goddamned land getting into my head so many times stick it in there, but he is not able to. He is going to Run.

SPEAKER_10

Okay.

SPEAKER_13

Eh. Probably not. Because he's straw.

SPEAKER_10

Straw? I got him before when he ran by me. Vaughn, sorry, bitch. Oh, good. Good one, Leo. Thank you. Thank you. Psychic damage. Bicious mockery.

SPEAKER_20

Bitch boom. Bitch. Bicious mockery.

SPEAKER_10

Do I get an attack of opportunity? You're in my aura.

SPEAKER_18

Yes, you do. Strong runs up the stairs chasing after quick draw.

SPEAKER_09

Um, with my vow of enmity, does that pertain to opportunity attacks as well?

SPEAKER_20

Your opportunity attacks.

SPEAKER_09

I know.

SPEAKER_20

Okay, sorry.

SPEAKER_17

Let me see vow of enmity.

SPEAKER_09

Um when you take the attack action, you then no. Or like it uh sorry. Once I utter it, I have advantage on attack rolls against him for a minute.

SPEAKER_18

Oh, then yes.

SPEAKER_09

That's a nat 20. Oh my god. Reduce your speed to zero zero. And it reduces his speed to zero. You stay right there in the front of your dead mother! So that is going to be two d10 and two d eight plus ten.

SPEAKER_05

Or plus five.

SPEAKER_09

That is twenty three damage.

SPEAKER_13

How exciting.

SPEAKER_09

You're not getting away from me that easily. Ooh! Fuck him up, Larry! Something happens to me when we start fighting. I like come up with one liner so at the end.

SPEAKER_18

Uh I did forget to add 20 damage. Oh, and starting his turn and singing. Yes. Yes. He is not looking good already. I feel so good right now. Round one, and he is being absolutely wrecked.

SPEAKER_05

Lyrielle is gonna get so drunk after this.

SPEAKER_18

He turns, looks at Leary, uh, utterly afraid. For the first time, he kind of reveals it on his face. Uh, not necessarily of you, but the sword itself. Uh, and he runs through the wall.

SPEAKER_19

Well, get back here and disappears.

SPEAKER_18

Leary, it is your turn. Strahd is nowhere to be seen.

SPEAKER_09

I know how to lure him back out, but I don't think you're going to like what I'm going to do. What have to make him angry enough to get him back in here, right? I'm gonna open his mom's tomb.

SPEAKER_18

Oh fuck.

SPEAKER_09

I'm gonna try and push it open. I'm just gonna start pushing on it.

SPEAKER_18

Okay. Make a athletics check.

SPEAKER_09

Okay.

SPEAKER_19

Oh, that's so disrespectful.

SPEAKER_09

I know, I don't like that I'm doing it either, but I we need to blur him out somehow.

SPEAKER_10

What if she's really stinky and you take poison damage?

SPEAKER_09

That is math. Um 23.

SPEAKER_18

Okay. Uh yeah, you managed to just push it.

SPEAKER_05

Just enough that it makes noise to be like, do you know what I'm doing?

SPEAKER_18

Yeah. The grinding of this marble as you push it, uh, and you see his mother.

SPEAKER_08

Apologies.

SPEAKER_18

And unlike the magic that was keeping Sergei just like the day he died, that magic seems to have failed here. And she is a full-on skeleton. Damn.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, so she'll push it just enough that she can see her, and then it makes noise and goes, apologies, madam, but your son is a real asshole.

SPEAKER_17

Okay.

SPEAKER_09

And I'm gonna stand there and wait.

SPEAKER_17

Alright.

SPEAKER_10

He's such a mommy's boy. I know. That's why I'm using it against him. Should we wait? Or should I go running after him?

SPEAKER_19

I would stay there. I would take uh I'm I'm gonna take the dodge action.

SPEAKER_10

That's a good idea. I'm also gonna take the dodge action.

SPEAKER_19

Even though he can't really get to you, but yeah, I'm gonna take the dodge action.

SPEAKER_10

Is he getting his friends?

SPEAKER_18

Well, it's not your turn yet. Well, not about when it is. If it is, if it never gets there. So you're gonna take the dodge action.

SPEAKER_14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_18

Okay.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, he's back.

SPEAKER_18

The monster. Oh well. Um all right. Uh he is going to pop out. Yep.

SPEAKER_10

Perfect. Oh god. Oh god's sake. He cannot hurt me. That's perfect.

SPEAKER_18

He pops out of the bronze statue of his mother and looks directly at you from a up top the stairs. Uh and he is going to. This didn't work last time.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_18

But you will be a dog. Was the main team? This is a big one. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

Okay.

SPEAKER_19

How how that doesn't look good. Oh god.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, that's only a fourteen.

SPEAKER_18

You watch as Lyriel turns into an auburn-haired dog. The sword drops, the sunlight fades.

SPEAKER_10

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_18

And he looks to you. Quick draw. What would you like to do? He is not scared, by the way. Oh, he is? Uh, on on polymorph, yes.

SPEAKER_21

Put that on his ass.

SPEAKER_06

Okay, if he insists.

SPEAKER_10

He was trying to put it on his butt.

SPEAKER_07

There he was just barking. Full on barking.

SPEAKER_19

I am going to attack him once. That's an 18. I want to see what happens here.

SPEAKER_17

Okay.

SPEAKER_19

Also, can he not get in within five feet of Leo? Why not? Because of his thing.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah, he can't enter my space.

SPEAKER_18

He can't enter your space or five feet of your space.

SPEAKER_10

He can't enter anything in a five foot emanation from me.

SPEAKER_18

Pops out. There.

SPEAKER_19

Uh so I want to see if he gets hurt at all by this.

SPEAKER_18

Um that's 14 damage. Uh what kind? Piercing. We'll take half. Okay, so he still takes half.

SPEAKER_19

Great. Right. Um and I'm going to Oh, I have advantage, so I'm gonna sneak with that too. That's another thirteen. Second attack. That'll hit with a sixteen on the die. Bonus action third. That will also hit with a nineteen on the die. Nine plus sixteen is another twenty-five damage.

SPEAKER_17

Okay.

SPEAKER_19

That's my torn.

SPEAKER_18

Uh when he came through the wall, uh, again, coming returning, he did look like he had regained some hit points. I knew it because of the sun.

SPEAKER_10

How many?

SPEAKER_18

Not sure. It looks like the damage that you just did took them back out.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_18

You need roll concentration checks. Three of them. Uh, what was the damage on all of them? So I did it was it was all half, so it would be all DC tens.

unknown

Frick.

SPEAKER_18

Um. Constitution.

SPEAKER_04

I thought of something.

SPEAKER_18

That's a fail. That's a two on the die. But legendary resistance. Fuck you. He needs to make one more. Legendary resistance. Fuck. Fuck you. I'll knock him out. That's two over them. Wow, he's blowing him.

SPEAKER_09

Lyriel's in the Hello?

SPEAKER_18

Uh woof.

SPEAKER_09

Lyriel's in the tomb just barking. You bark, baby.

SPEAKER_11

You're doing a great job.

SPEAKER_19

If you I guess I guess my character wouldn't know this, but if you do damage to the one who's polymorph, doesn't that bring them out of it? Or since it's a concentration spell, it doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_18

Um. I'm not sure if you would have any frame of reference for the polymorph style.

SPEAKER_13

I didn't think so either.

SPEAKER_09

Um you're going to own yell at me.

SPEAKER_18

No. Yes. Okay. Uh Leary, just so you know, you have the stat block of a mastiff now.

SPEAKER_05

Perfect. Lovely. Thank you.

SPEAKER_18

That sucks.

SPEAKER_05

Jets.

SPEAKER_18

Um, do that. Uh Strahd is going to uh use a legendary action to go back into the wall. Strahd won't hide a bitch. Strahd won't hide you, bitch.

SPEAKER_02

Hide kid.

SPEAKER_18

Lyriat, it's your turn as a dog.

SPEAKER_09

Good lord. Um I'm trying to find it.

SPEAKER_18

Pick up the hilt in your mouth.

SPEAKER_09

That's what I was gonna do.

SPEAKER_10

But I don't know if you can. Like that video.

SPEAKER_18

I actually misspoke. The polymorph spell does specify that the any gear you have kind of morphs into your body, sort of like a wild shape, so it didn't drop onto the floor.

SPEAKER_09

Okay. I Well, that's good. He can't pick it up. I don't know how to get the stat block up, but I don't know if it matters. Uh I'm gonna Google it. Hold on.

SPEAKER_18

Uh I can just tell you. You have uh bite action.

SPEAKER_22

Okay.

SPEAKER_18

And 40 feet of movement speed.

SPEAKER_13

Can you take the dodge action as a mastiff?

SPEAKER_10

I'm definitely gonna hit you.

SPEAKER_18

What?

SPEAKER_10

I'm gonna hit her and see what happens.

SPEAKER_18

I guess so. Um I think monsters have the same thing.

SPEAKER_06

I don't know.

SPEAKER_18

Yeah, so pretty much right now all you can do is really show to do something little.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

I had another idea, but I'll just go.

SPEAKER_09

So anytime he disappears, I'll just be there. I was gonna say, I'll be there. Um I was gonna say, you said his mom is a skeleton, right?

SPEAKER_18

Yeah. Oh god. Whoa.

SPEAKER_09

She's mad. That's wild. Um in her dog's head is like, God. Okay, I don't want to do this, but I think I have to get him angry enough. Maybe he'll drop she's thinking, like, if I make him angry enough, maybe he will drop his concentration.

SPEAKER_12

Uh you do have five temp HP, by the way.

SPEAKER_09

Five temp HP, okay.

As Lyriel starts her turn, sunlight again fills the room. There it is.

SPEAKER_09

With this might fuck me up. Um, because I was a dog. Um do I need to roll concentration for haste?

SPEAKER_13

Okay. Bro, if he was not resistant to piercing, he would have been dead so long.

SPEAKER_09

I forgot to take a movement.

SPEAKER_10

I am close to you now. Oh God, what do I do?

SPEAKER_13

With a yiding yelt.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, twenty-seven. Yeah, Jesus.

SPEAKER_10

Eighteen radiant damage.

SPEAKER_18

Okay. He is very, very hurt. This is really bad. Is that your turn?

SPEAKER_08

Oh god, I keep dying! Huh, okay.

SPEAKER_18

This is really bad.

SPEAKER_08

I have shit to do.

unknown

I can't die.

SPEAKER_08

Okay.

SPEAKER_09

I can't do anything to help you. And I have twelve. I have twelve hit points and he has me at the fucking window. Okay. Yeah, I can't do anything.

SPEAKER_18

So it's Strahd's turn.

SPEAKER_10

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_13

Fuck.

SPEAKER_10

You're in my aura. If you go down to zero hit points, you're back up to one. Okay.

SPEAKER_13

She's gonna be at the bottom of this mode. He sidesteps.

SPEAKER_10

And I have the other one now. Anything. Anything else?

SPEAKER_20

Or something. You're strong.

SPEAKER_15

But are you strong?

SPEAKER_18

And he looks at you, and you see him summon a gust of wind. Oh my god. You feel the strongest wind you've ever felt pushing you. Your heels start to grip onto the side. I need to avoid falling 900 feet. I need a 18 strength save.

SPEAKER_10

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_18

Fox of doing that shit.

SPEAKER_09

I have a plus nine.

SPEAKER_18

So we're looking for a nine on the duck. Even with even with your strength being sapped?

SPEAKER_09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_18

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

On the table.

SPEAKER_09

I'm gonna throw up. Okay. Do we want to do box of doom or do we just roll it on the table? Box of doom.

SPEAKER_18

That's what it's here for.

SPEAKER_03

I need a nine.

SPEAKER_10

Because you're gonna turn into a vampire.

SPEAKER_21

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_05

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_19

Please describe this.

SPEAKER_05

My limbs are vibrating.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_19

Please describe what this looks like.

SPEAKER_09

Perfect. So she feels the wind. You said her heels are at the edge, and he says, like, you're strong, but are you strong enough? She will feel the wind. Her hair is getting blown back, revealing. I mean, it's probably healed by now, but where he bit her before, maybe there's still a little mark there or something.

SPEAKER_18

Well, he's bet you a couple times now.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, shows the bite marks. She feels the gust, braces herself, takes every part of her on this entire journey that has ever felt weak, helpless, all the times that she's watched the other two get taken down, herself taken down. And she steals herself, locks her limbs, meets his eye, and says, Strong enough to kill you.

SPEAKER_10

I'm strong enough to kill you. I'm so sorry.

SPEAKER_18

The gust persists, but that is the end of his turn. Quick draw. It is yours. Strahd is still blasting this gust of wind. It it is a concentration for one minute. So she is being battered by this wind, still holding on, but at the very edge. He is very, very hurt. Okay.

SPEAKER_20

Can I let's say

SPEAKER_18

If he is pushed ten feet straight from my angle, he will fall. He will fall. He will fall. He is. Then I can't.

SPEAKER_09

I'll get out of it. I can get out of it.

SPEAKER_13

Okay, then I will not bring out the big gun. I have three silver bolts left or oil of accuracy bolts left. Should I hunters mark him? I haven't done that yet. Because I've just sub substituted it for uh I think it would be maybe one more d6 if I hunters marked him, because it would take my bonus action third attack.

SPEAKER_23

Yeah, why not?

SPEAKER_18

So instead of Yeah, I think it might add one more. All your damage is halved anyway. Oh your damage is half anyway. Uh yeah, I'm gonna Hunter's mark him. Okay. So that's my bonus action. So I only have two attacks then. That'll hit.

SPEAKER_19

And that'll hit. Very good. Okay. Sneak and regular. Oh, and Hunter's mark.

SPEAKER_20

Ten seventeen five.

unknown

Sixty seven.

SPEAKER_13

Fourteen plus twenty-five is thirty-four damage.

SPEAKER_04

Fourteen plus twenty-five is thirty-nine.

SPEAKER_13

Thirty-nine. Thank you. Okay. I can do math.

SPEAKER_20

My last three oil of accuracy bolts are gone.

SPEAKER_18

He is a mess. Riddled with my bolts. Covered. He has not had the energy to do the mist. Uh he has been fully focused. Can you fuck? I use my bonus action. I'm so used to rolling three times. Uh can you take give him back um it was 39 total.

SPEAKER_13

So minus uh eight plus sixes. Minus uh give him, I think, 14 back.

SPEAKER_18

Okay. Because that was what I rolled in my third one, which I wasn't supposed to roll, my bad. So it'd be seven back because it's halved. Yeah. And so that's only seven more HP than what I was just describing. There is. We got it. Yeah, he's on. You've secured victory. It's within grasp. But Lyriel is hanging on to her life right now. What would you like to do? Got this in the bag, little lady. Oh, hold on. Legendary action.

SPEAKER_11

Oh god.

SPEAKER_18

He's going to bite. Okay. Okay. He's going to bite.

unknown

God, please.

SPEAKER_09

I have 12 hit points. I can't fucking go down. I need to kill him!

SPEAKER_05

I need to kill him!

SPEAKER_09

Oh. I mean, no matter what, I'm going down.

SPEAKER_10

Well, you'll come back up with one. He hasn't hit me at all.

SPEAKER_18

11 necrotic. So five.

SPEAKER_09

So five, I'm down, but then because of Leo.

SPEAKER_18

Does not fucking look.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, so I go down. And then because of Leo's thing, I'm back up with one.

SPEAKER_18

If I would have gone unconscious.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_18

You would have been tossed. You would have been gusted with no save. Yeah, the tops you already hit. Yeah. So because of Leo's magic. Wow.

SPEAKER_20

That's not you, baby.

SPEAKER_18

Leah Leary with one HP. Yeah. That's the end of his legendary action. What would you like to do? Oh my god. He is grappling. You're gonna fucking kill him.

SPEAKER_09

He's still grappling me?

SPEAKER_18

So I'm gonna use um You do have the option to escape his grapple with movement. That should probably use five feet.

SPEAKER_09

If you were to do that, you have it says use five feet of movement to use five feet of my movement to like sacrifice five feet of my movement to get onto the grapple.

SPEAKER_18

So she wouldn't move five feet away from him. That's what yeah, that's what I was trying to think of. Yeah, just sacrificing five feet. No. Okay, so you just kind of sidestep.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_18

And his eyes grow wide as you do that, almost in slow motion as you two hits with his brother's side. Exit the gust, exit his grasp, and he watches your blade.

SPEAKER_04

With one hit point, she's like you've turned me, you've bitten me countless times. You turned me into a fucking dog.

unknown

Done. I'm done.

SPEAKER_09

That is a twenty-four to hit. So close. Actually, that's cocked.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_09

And a twenty-five to hit.

SPEAKER_21

He is done for.

SPEAKER_09

Just fucking make sure. I will be casting a another divine smite at second level.

SPEAKER_18

As you are magically given this second chance, if not for your best friend who you've gone this whole way through, you would have been gussed fifteen feet out of this window, plummeting nine hundred feet to your certain death. But instead of just running away, you turn to him, you face him, and you swing the sun sword, the very blade that Strahd's own brother once wielded. It tears through Strahd von Tsarovich.

SPEAKER_08

This is Vitatiana.

SPEAKER_18

A brilliant, searing light fills the chamber, reflecting magically off of the gold mosaic of the ceiling of this room. The ancient and the land is slammed backwards against the white marble slab that you pushed open, supporting his mother's coffin. He watches the surprised face continues as his entire body is ripped through. His surprise as death finally takes him into the black abyss. His features once contorted in this frenzy of rage when you first arrived here. Shift one last time from rage to surprise. And then another blinding fury. Dust begins to shake as the entire kind of pillar stone of Ravenloft is being shook. And then as his body hits the ground, a look of relief washes over his face as he looks at you first and then rolls his head around to look up the stairs to Leo and to quick draw. And then turns finally to look at the sarcophagus of his mother. The dark forbs of his eyes wither and stink into his skull, and his physical form begins to deteriorate rapidly before. In a matter of moments, the man who held Barovia in a grip for 400 years is gone. The silence that follows is absolute, broken only by the distant muffled thunder and rain on the shattered glass that was once this stained glass window outside the mist. And for the first time, as long as anyone in Vorovia can remember the Lord.

SPEAKER_04

We did it.

SPEAKER_19

We did.

SPEAKER_08

We really did.

SPEAKER_10

He wordlessly comes over to you. Yeah. Runs his hands through his hair. And just sinks into a hug with you guys. Yeah. He's silent for the first time in a long time. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah. She is fooling. She has both hands around Leo's head and is like, thank you.

SPEAKER_03

I thought we were all going to die.

SPEAKER_23

I didn't think I'd make it out of that, even though I said I really knew we were going to. I thought I was going to. Without you, I would have. So I love you guys.

SPEAKER_13

I owe you my life, Leo.

SPEAKER_23

Yes.

SPEAKER_13

Because you saved hers. Aw.

SPEAKER_08

What the fuck? Leo. I would die without her.

SPEAKER_21

I would too. We gotta check on the others outside. Hopefully they're okay.

SPEAKER_02

Do you think that all of his minions died when he did? I don't know.

SPEAKER_19

I would hope it would work like that.

SPEAKER_09

Sound like that be. Probably. Um before we go anywhere. I'm gonna use my last 23 Leon hands so I'm not at one hit point. Because if I sneezed wrong right now, I would die. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10

So I can also heal heal everybody.

SPEAKER_19

I have plenty of healing.

SPEAKER_10

I have all of my hit points. He did not do a singular thing to me.

SPEAKER_18

I have pretty much all plus more.

SPEAKER_10

He couldn't do a singular thing to me.

SPEAKER_13

He chose not to for me, which is great. He was so focused on you. That was crazy. I should let you guys know. When I went to talk to our Rainer before we went here, our Rainer wasn't in there. It was Tatiana. Oh fully realized Tatiana. And that was goodbye for her.

SPEAKER_10

Well? What she is. What do you mean?

SPEAKER_13

Well, now that he's gone, she'll be reunited with Sergei. Now that this curse has been lifted. So she won't be at St. Andrews anymore.

SPEAKER_21

Okay.

SPEAKER_13

So I'm sorry you guys didn't get to say goodbye. But just know that she wished y'all the best.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_13

And knew that we could do it.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_13

She had full confidence in us.

SPEAKER_09

Um before we go as well, I did promise Sega that I would return his sword. I would like to do that before we go.

SPEAKER_13

I think that's a great idea.

SPEAKER_18

As you walk over, it's just around the corner, really. You walk over to Sergei's tomb. And a light, a very bright light, fills that tomb. The sun's out. The sun is out, but you remember there being no windows in his tomb. Norman.

SPEAKER_09

He is the sun. A fellow paladin of a similar god will walk in.

SPEAKER_18

As you kind of adjust your eyes to the light, begins to dim you leading the way. Quick draw in Leo behind you. You hear slow, methodical footsteps of heavy metal armor stepping towards you. Eyes fully adjust. You see a stately man of flesh and blood in shining armor and a flapping cape. His countenance shows great strength of will, yet the forcefulness of his presence is tempted tempered by his calm, sad eyes. Features are those of Strahd, yet subtly different. His voice is calm and peaceful as he says. He turns over his shoulder, the light is still bright behind him, puts out his hand.

SPEAKER_01

Small but familiar hand reaches out from the light, grabs it, and you see, as he says, Tatiana, the time is at hand to rest.

SPEAKER_18

Come, my love and wife, stretching out his hand and pulling Irina as you know her, or Tatiana as he does, to his side. Irina's questioning eyes suddenly open with recognition and knowledge, forgotten memories that were kind of rushed back to her by your reading of Strahd's tome now fully realize themselves. Sergei, she cries, springing to him with the grace of a doe, jumping into his arms, and they embrace.

SPEAKER_01

A few seconds pass of a lover's embrace before she turns to you and says, I am Irina Kolyana, but in my past I was Sergei's beloved Tatiana, as you all know. Through these many centuries we have played out the tragedy of our lives. Now, with our deepest, deepest gratitude to you, that tragedy is over.

SPEAKER_18

It is time for joy to begin again. And she looks at you again with a grateful, grateful look. As shimmering light begins to surround them, hand in hand, they turn around and walk. Their feet don't touch the ground as they tread a path beyond this mortal world. Their invisible road takes them beyond the precipice, their glow illuminating and thinning the clouds above Barovia as they step out of this castle. The clouds suddenly break open, letting shafts of glorious sunlight flood through. You can see around you that the sun is truly there for the first time in Barovia.

SPEAKER_09

After seeing them go, the real still is going to take his sword and put it on top of his tomb. Um this is someone very similar to herself as a paladin of a of a morning lord. She's she feels very strongly about keeping her promise to him of returning that and having done what she swore to do. And as Leo leaves she's not quite looking at it quick draw yet, but she's kind of just looking at the sword on top of the tomb. You know. Strength, power, purpose, direction, clarity, all of it. Strength and power always came easy to me, as did my purpose, which over the years has ebbed and flowed. But I never quite understood why Latander never seemed able to bestow all the rest upon me as he did others. My belief in him and my mission was clear, but my life was still muddy. Um but I believe I understand now. And she will look at him for the first time since she's been talking. You are my direction. And you are my clarity. And I can no longer imagine my life without you in it alongside me. I could I could go no further, could not leave this place without telling you that. Without you knowing. So and she will kneel to their eye to eye. So wherever you go, silence. And she will put her hand on his face. Quick draw. My love.

SPEAKER_08

I will be sure to follow. From now until my end.

SPEAKER_13

Follow me? Come on now, little lady. I don't know if I was the one following you this whole time. You're the one that gave me such strength and confidence in myself, and whenever you walk beside me or in front of me, I feel like I could do anything.

SPEAKER_21

And I feel even stronger now. Like I could take on the world. Yeah, I. I don't know what I'd do without you.

SPEAKER_13

I couldn't take one more step away from you and navigate this here world.

SPEAKER_21

Nor do I want to. Not without Leo, but especially not without you. Yeah. Let's just keep walking beside each other. Hand in hand. Keep lighting my cigars, will you?

SPEAKER_03

I can do that.

SPEAKER_21

Good. Gives it nut gives it a good flavor. Oh.

SPEAKER_23

What?

SPEAKER_21

I can't wait to go back to Irwin, man, the locky, and show up the bear the the Mr.

SPEAKER_13

Baron. Tell him what we did. Clean our slate. Laugh in his face.

SPEAKER_08

Oh my good thought. Yes. I'm trying to be sentimental here. I'm turning it into something else. I like making you laugh.

SPEAKER_21

Thanks for bringing out the best of me.

SPEAKER_13

He really changed me as a person. So did Leo. He's. He's like my weird brother. You know? Yes. I don't know how else to describe it, but that's the best way I can.

SPEAKER_09

Yes. And if this is what you choose, he will be there as your weird brother for a long time.

SPEAKER_21

Good. Excellent. We should go.

SPEAKER_15

We should.

SPEAKER_21

Make sure the others are alright. But first, and he will kiss you.

SPEAKER_09

Yep.

SPEAKER_10

You just hear a jaw return then.

SPEAKER_09

I was wondering when you were going to do that.

SPEAKER_21

Well come on, let's go.

SPEAKER_19

He'll just keep walking.

SPEAKER_09

Damn. Entirely unfair.

SPEAKER_18

You exit Castle Ravenloft to find dozens of zombie corpses. Hell yeah. Vampire corpses. And three of your compatriots. Very wounded but living. Thank God. I love plot armor. They have been completely exhausted. But they knew that they had to have your backs literally through this. If you had to deal with Strahd and all of his minions getting into the castle, things would not have gone the way they did. And they knew that. And they held their ground. They did their job just as you did. And they did their job thanks to the power that you gave them. If it wasn't for the three of you, Zulika would never have had her husband back. Esmeralda might have never found Rictavio, might have never had the courage to attack Castle Ravenloft in full. But with the three of you, they were able to do that and help save Barovia. As you look up, the sun is shining bright. The fog has been lifted. The clouds have been lifted. It is a clear and sunny day in Barovia. The winery is being built. It will thrive under this new sun. Ismark is going to continue as the burgamaster of Barovia. The Vistani are all but exiled already. Those who have survived. Esmeralda tells you that she will stay and conquer any other evils of Barovia that persist. Rictavio, after you visit him with Esmeralda, admits that Rictavio is never his true name. He takes off his hat of disguise. And you see this old vampire hunter, different person altogether. And he introduces himself as Rudolf Van Richten. And then he leaves Barovia to live out his remaining days in solitude. Zulika and her husband Emile are going to stay in Barovia as well. They have a home, they have each other, and now without the threat of Strahd, and without the threat of the rival werewolf that was loyal to him, they have a bit of peace in their clan. or malicious unhappiness in Velocia is no longer a threat because Strahd is no longer there. And the village turns into a thriving place of trade. And everywhere in Barovia, because of the three of you, it quickly becomes normal.

SPEAKER_13

To see if he can find the third magic seed in his castle.

SPEAKER_18

But with somebody who's been there for a long time. He lends a hand and I love him. He helps you find it.

SPEAKER_08

I told you you would like him. Isn't he nice?

SPEAKER_13

He's my buddy now.

SPEAKER_02

Well, you guys have a child.

SPEAKER_13

Uh I will bring this seed back to Erwin. And ask him. Alright, say the word.

SPEAKER_19

Send me up there, we start building.

SPEAKER_01

Building has already begun, but Oh good. We could use another hand, of course.

SPEAKER_18

If you want to stay.

SPEAKER_21

I made a promise too. I'll help you rebuild that home.

SPEAKER_18

Well, when you take down Stradvanzarovich himself, you don't have you're not beholden to any promises you make, but you're a good man.

SPEAKER_13

It's a promise to myself and to you. You guys have helped us through a lot. Saved our asses through a couple of times here.

SPEAKER_18

Always kept an eye on us, and that's the least I could do. It seems we were right to help you out. Thank you, Quick Draw. Of course. As long as I can have a square field to grow tobacco.

SPEAKER_13

Anything for you.

SPEAKER_19

Good. And uh I think I think Lyrielle's gonna stick around to help too. We can use her muscle. Is she?

SPEAKER_18

Danica told me all about it. Ah. He's red as a beat.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, I bet she did.

SPEAKER_09

Um Lyria will walk up at that point.

SPEAKER_08

Yes, um, did he tell you that we're staying to help?

SPEAKER_18

Oh, he did.

SPEAKER_08

What does that look for?

SPEAKER_18

Oh you know Danica. We have hosted a couple weddings at the end before. Have you? That's crazy. Just joking, just joking.

SPEAKER_08

Okay.

SPEAKER_18

You've got much more to think about.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_18

I was mostly talking about Leo and Yevgeny.

SPEAKER_11

No!

SPEAKER_18

I don't think Well, uh Yevgeny is in it just for the fun. Oh yes, uh Yevgeny! Sorry, just another joke.

SPEAKER_09

Lirio is now also beat red.

SPEAKER_01

It's uh it's just I I was faking smiles for so long living here. It's strange to have a real one.

SPEAKER_23

It suits you.

SPEAKER_13

Thank you. We're gonna have lots, lots of real ones tonight. Drinks of Red Dragon Crusher on me. Amazing. I should mention since the sun has been out when they exit the castle.

SPEAKER_19

Quickdraw always has traveled with his hood up.

SPEAKER_13

Except when he's in bed. Anywhere he's been, his hood's always been up. Since leaving the castle and the sun has been out, he has not put it back up. Feel that sun.

SPEAKER_02

Got a nice head of hair. Would you ever, you know, I could put a little streak in it if you like. Oh?

SPEAKER_21

That'd be kind of cool.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Oh my god, look like a fox.

SPEAKER_18

Yeah. Just it brings out a carton of milk.

SPEAKER_10

It's not dying. Oh god. Uh Leo's definitely been doing a lot of rituals now that I'm assuming the moon is back too.

SPEAKER_18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_23

How do I get out of here?

SPEAKER_11

I need to go home.

SPEAKER_18

The fog has been lifted. The paths walk out. You you're not a hundred percent sure where you are in relation to where you're from, but it's probably worth trying to find out.

SPEAKER_13

If you just start walking the way we came, I'm sure we'd you'd find your way later.

SPEAKER_10

I'm definitely going to go to France with Kenny and Vera. I'm gonna fulfill that promise. That is the first thing I do.

SPEAKER_18

A feeling almost as satisfying as taking down the doublets.

SPEAKER_10

Ah, yeah.

SPEAKER_18

Almost as satisfying.

SPEAKER_10

Almost cool. So you two are staying at the Yes. Okay. Yeah. I think Leo will. I like don't want to pry, but I also do. I kind of want to go to Ismark and be honest and like just lend my helping hand out. Literally, because I know he's grieving and if he needs help with uh whatever his duties are. Just be like, I've been kind of an asshole to you, I'm sorry. Thought maybe I could help.

SPEAKER_18

I I've been one in return. I to be completely honest, uh never had anyone look at me like the way you look at me. It scared me. I wasn't in the right headspace to think about anything like that. Obviously we were under threat. And I had to get my sister to safety. You did that. You let her soul pass on with her true partner in life. It's made me think about what's truly important. And it's made me see you in a different light.

SPEAKER_11

Five times? Five times? Oh my god! I don't know what to do. I wasn't expecting this to actually happen. Happy birthday to me!

SPEAKER_18

He reaches out and grabs your hand.

SPEAKER_10

Leo's fucking silent. This is his celebrity crush. He is internally panicking so hard. Literally.

SPEAKER_18

If you were to stay and help me get this village into the shape it needs to be in. Of course you could stay here if you'd please. There's plenty of rooms, plenty of beds. You can use my sister's room, of course. Or mine.

SPEAKER_11

Oh my god, what the fuck do I do? Oh my god! You wanted this! From day one. Literally.

SPEAKER_10

Oh my god. Oh my god. There's gnawing on the table. Holy shit. I think uh, you know. My friends are here. Might as well for a little bit.

SPEAKER_01

Very true.

SPEAKER_18

One of your friends actually uh wanted to move here as well. I I told them they couldn't stay here as I don't know them very well, but they wanted uh help with the remaining wolves around. The door swings open.

SPEAKER_11

Oh my god! Yes, holy fuck Do you have a space for me to make candles?

SPEAKER_06

It's Mark, how large is your bed?

SPEAKER_11

I'm very good with carpentry tools.

SPEAKER_15

This is a new one that I'm creating right now.

SPEAKER_18

Yes, you have getting done. Tell me you're good at working wood.

SPEAKER_11

You go fast.

SPEAKER_13

What a fucking flirt is me, somewhere in Velocity, Lyri goes.

SPEAKER_05

Not all.

SPEAKER_13

Something just happened.

SPEAKER_05

Again. She feels it like a sixth sense when it works.

SPEAKER_13

Smells like six and candy in the air.

SPEAKER_05

This is the best bit of my life.

SPEAKER_15

Yes, I'm great at it. Very well, uh, adept.

SPEAKER_17

Then stay here with us.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah. Yeah. He says it just like that.

SPEAKER_01

Maybe eventually, once things are in order, you can show me where you're from.

SPEAKER_10

Oh my god, does Leo have boyfriends? And the boyfriends are boyfriends? I said I said he was never gonna be in a relationship. Does he have two boyfriends?

SPEAKER_09

Um Yeah, Larielle is going to stay and help rebuild. Um she knows that they definitely need her strength.

SPEAKER_13

Um, I can't carry shit.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, I know. And what was with this? Oh, I don't know if she's going to stay. Of course I was going to stay. Did you not think I was going to stay?

SPEAKER_19

Well, I knew you were. You said you would.

SPEAKER_08

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_13

So I knew you were gonna stay.

SPEAKER_09

Um, before Leo leaves to go to Barovia. Um, Lyria will kind of take him aside and give him just a big long hug. And you're going to go and do what you need to do.

SPEAKER_08

Um and if that includes finding a way home to go and see your mother or staying here, whatever you decide, I will help you in any way that I can.

SPEAKER_09

Because I I owe you everything. Of course.

SPEAKER_08

And no matter what, we'll always find our our way back to each other.

SPEAKER_02

Seems inevitable. Always. I literally don't think that I could be without you for over a couple of months.

SPEAKER_10

I think I would uh probably actually die? You're kind of the one that keeps me alive.

SPEAKER_09

Well, you've returned the favour because you stopped me from being pushed out of a window.

SPEAKER_10

So after even about a hundred favors that you've given me, I thought maybe one big favour would kind of do the trick.

SPEAKER_09

Oh, well, gods. I'm very proud of you. I'm proud of you too.

SPEAKER_10

You killed the bastard. You chopped him right in the I did with his brother's sword.

SPEAKER_08

With his brother's sword, and I chewed on his mum's bones. I didn't like that part.

SPEAKER_09

I did not like that part. But you know.

SPEAKER_15

I did yell at you unfortunately.

SPEAKER_09

I know. Had to do what I had to do. Part of it was me, part of it I think was the dog brain taking over, but you know. Um but Huh. I I don't want to think too much about it.

SPEAKER_02
