Katja: he kind of looks like a horse to me. And you know what has --
Brennan: this six-legged tentacles cat wearing armor looks like a horse?
Rekha: yes, Brennan, and his tentacles look like horse brushes!
All: laughing, Someone I couldn't catch: Listen!
Rekha: So Brennan, if you wouldn't be so fucking rude, can I hope on one of these thing's backs and then try to attack it by using it's own tentacles like a brush and kill it?
All: laughing
Brennan: I --
Rekha: you know I'm gonna ask one stupid fucking question pe campaign!
Sephie: do it! Do it!
Brennan: give me an athletics check, give me an athletics check, give me an athletics check
Aabria: let's go! You have advantage!
Izzy: oh, is there any way I could cast Guidance?
Brennan: I'm gonna let you cast Guidance. You can add a d4 to this, DC 20
Aabria: uh, you have advantage cuz of the thing right?
Rekha: 16, plus --
Erika: oh wait, is this a strength check?
Rekha: wait, 16 plus athletics you said?
Brennan: yeah
Rekha: 25
Izzy: it's done
Brennan: oh my God
Becca (I think): add the d4 anyway
Brennan: okay, so Cinnamon runs up
Rekha: oh, add the d4?
Becca: add his advantage
Izzy (I think): wait is cinnamon jumping on top of this thing? Is she on cinnamon on --?
Aabria: roll the d20 again
Rekha: yeah. Okay, I'm rolling again.
Brennan: okay
Rekha: fuck, don't count that it doesn't matter.
Becca: it went under the seat
*all laughing*
Rekha: this one didn't matter either, so pick the other thing I did, 25
Brennan: I've lost - I've fully lost, I've lost it.
Overlapping chatter: it's gone off the rails, you've lost control. Control, completely
Brennan: yeah 100%< 100%
Becca: you still have me in the air!
Brennan: I still have Penny! So, uh, 25, cool, so Cinnamon is going to gallop up behind these ether beasts and I'm gonna say that cinnamon also readies an action to move again when the way is clear.
Rekha: cool. To jump on the king?
Brennan: go ahead, you made your acrobatics check. So you jump on one of the ether beasts in front of you
Becca: it became Rekha's fanfic
Brennan: so you jump on one of the ether beasts in front of you. do you want to jump on the middle one or the one to either side?
Rekha: if I'm trying to get to the king I want to jump on the middle one to get to the king.
Brennan: you're gonna will Smith from "wild wild West" like jump from ether beasts to ether beast, saddle to saddle like?
Rekha: I will do what you will let me do in this game.
Brennan: you leap, and you make it onto that ether beast
Sephie: oh my God.
Izzy: Which one?
Rekha: the middle one?
Brennan: the middle one. Are you going to do the brush attack?
Izzy: brush attack, canon
Rekha: yes
Brennan: amazing. Go ahead and roll your first attack roll
Aabria: this is the best day of my life
Rekha: okay, that's just a 15. Am I adding, like what do I add to it? The same as my?
Brennan: I'll tell you what you're not gonna add to it, your goddamn proficiency bonus.
Rekha: why?
Aabria: she's been brushing! She's been brushing shit the whole time!
Rekha: I'm proficient at brushing!
Sephie: she should get it, she should get it
*overlapping chatter*
Brennan: no!
Rekha: I would argue the only thing I've done this whole campaign is brushing!
*all laughing*
Brennan: oh my God. You are gonna add your strength modifier alone. These things have an armor class of 13. You hit on an 8 or higher.
Rekha: okay, wait, my strength modifier is this big guy? *Gesturing at her character sheet*
Brennan: yes yes yes.
Rekha: so that was an 11
Brennan: 11, so you rolled a 6 and added 5?
Rekha: yes
Brennan: well you miss on the first one, you may roll again.
Rekha: 17
Brennan: 17 hits, incredible
Rekha: so what do I roll for damage for a brush attack?
Brennan: it's own things do 2d6 damage so you're gonna roll 2d6 adding your strength modifier which is plus 5
Izzy: and so these things sort of have teeth in them?
Rekha: yes, if you look, I've been observing this for this entire round
Izzy: so you're sort of taking it and then puncturing itself
Rekha: *makes brushing motions*
Brennan: you're stabbing it in the head with its own spiky tentacle, yes
Izzy: oh, and you're gonna pull down
Rekha: I'm pulling down like I'm brushing
Aabria: you have to go with the coat
Rekha: yea, with the coat
Becca: it's the only thing you know how to do
Aabria: that's how you keep it shiny
Brennan: incredible
Rekha: seven
Brennan: plus five
Rekha: oh, 12
Brennan: so you deal 12. Are you doing any maneuvers to it, or no?
Rekha: I mean, I gotta right?
Aabria: yea, if you want
Rekha: okay. Do any of these maneuvers make sense if I'm on the thing? Uh, because
Becca: you're at 41, it wouldn't be the worst thing to heal
Brennan: of your maneuvers, you have riposte. You have push attack, push attack makes sense. You would not, you have movement left so if you wanted to hit it with its own tentacle and try to knock it off of the bridge with its own tentacle you could do that.
Rekha: yea
Becca: hit it's friend off
Rekha: would it -- can I dominoes?
All: laughing, Brennan's face goes 😑
Becca: may I --
Brennan: it's so, here's --
Becca: use the reaction to
Rekha: may I dominoes?
Brennan: may you dominoes. With all of my love.
Rekha: no
Brennan: I didn't, you know, and sometimes there's like a fun way to put it, but sometimes it's just, hey, no.
*all laughing*
Brennan: hey Rekha, straight up no
Rekha: okay
Izzy: you are right
Erika: it's good to have boundaries
Izzy: yeah! You're riding an ether beast
Rekha: last stupid question before I do your pushing attack. I can't also stick these two brushes *screen shows tentacles* in the ass of the king in front of me? *Screen pans to the ether beast king's ass* May I?
Erika: spits out her sip of water
Sephie: please. things come out!
Rekha: I'm just asking!
Erika: oh no
Sephie: bite him. Get him, get him
Erika: I need --
Brennan: did you just snarf, oh no!
Erika: I just spit
Brennan: oh my God
??: get her a tissue!
Erika: I'm sorry. It's fine
Brennan: oh no, hey Rekha, you want to drop a piano on his head?
Rekha: no, my thing --
Brennan: you want to paint a cave on the wall real quick and he runs into the cave?
Rekha: my thing -- my thing is available! You've got two brushes. I want to stick it in the king's ass!
Sephie: all in favor of sticking it in the king's ass, raise your hand
All: raise their hands
Brennan: this is not a democracy!
Rekha: okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, Brennan, okay, "Brennan"
Izzy: "Brennan"
Brennan: if that is my real name
Izzy: if you only knew what's in the --
Rekha: okay, so I'll do a "pushing attack"
Brennan: go ahead and roll your d8
Rekha: oh, yes, this one ... So that's a 3
Brennan: an extra 3 damage to the ether beast, now it's going to roll a strength saving throw against your DC, your DC is 17. It succeeds on its saving throw and is not pushed over the edge but does take that damage. You are still riding it.
Rekha: okay, um, so I can do a bonus action?
Brennan: you can do a bonus action
Rekha: I'm gonna second wind
Brennan: hell yea
Rekha: so 1d10 plus 9
Brennan: 1d10 plus 9 coming your way
Rekha: 15
Brennan: Katja heals 15 hit points from second wind. You are riding, Cinnamon's right behind you. That is Katja's turn
Katja: I love you! [To cinnamon]
Izzy: yea Cinnamon's jealous
Rekha: are you jealous?
Brennan: and at the end of your turn--
Rekha: no response
Aabria: oh no!
Izzy: she's pissed. Read, you're on read
Rekha: oh wow, oh wow. She's in the doghouse tonight. The fucking doghouse tonight.
Izzy: she doesn't like to see you riding someone else
Sephie: you rode someone else right in front of her
Rekha: I'm in the stables tonight, baby, oh boy
Aabria: she says that so much. There's no universe in which --
Rekha: anytime cinnamon gets mad
Brennan: at the end of your turn, Katja, Kurraghran is going to teleport behind Ostentatia and make a tentacle attack
Rekha: is he scared that I'm going to stick tentacles in his ass? 🥹
*all laughing*
Brennan: honestly yeah! You know, what do you want me to say? Yea, he's terrified. He has no idea what is going on.
Katja: he doesn't want one of his kids tentacles in his ass?
Izzy: he's gonna get an ass-full of rings in a second
Aabria: is he their dad?
Brennan: incredible
