### **Part One**

Kaziyea, after escaping the Desert Room, a room with crane hooks and arriving in a room with walls of ice was immediately grabbed by a number of hags, had been tied up in a room and tortured for a week to get information from her, with her small, cat sized sand worm Boris in a cage near by. The hags left the room into a room behind a bookcase and after a few minutes passed a half-orc man she had seen before, Kalistock, entered the room, squatted down to meet her eyes as she hung from her bindings and told her she was persistent. Kaz told him to blame it on her blood and Kalistock pointed out her blood was the reason she was there and knew that. Kalistock added she would be broken eventually before asking why she didn't simply help them already and Kaz replied if *he* wouldn’t join them, why should she. Kalistock retorted that he was a fool and Kaz countered maybe she was the same sort of fool. Kalistock asked what she would have to live for if everything was to be brought down anyway and for her to help bring down the corruption and disregard the continent had put on humanity again, noting they would try it over another time and Kaz asked why she was so important if it would come down anyway. Kalistock explained she was a contingency, that he'd rather do it the right way than to use “the Formless” to enhance it, but Kaz insisted she would never take part in something so cruel or change her answer. Kalistock warned that they all said no at one point, that she will eventually say yes as something would be put in front of her that she wouldn't want to lose before he stood up and left the room.

After a couple of minutes Kaz felt a number of presences that resonated with her charm, a golden hourglass with a red crown, and started to hear voices through it, some that she recognized with one she especially recognized distinctly. Kaz asked Boris if he heard that and if he thought it was real or a trick and when Boris responded with grunts and growls activated her *Golden Charm of the Demi-God* and called out Quincy’s name.

In the present time, back in the main room of the Cold Room, Quincy still stood with a thousand yard stare as the voice echoed in *Ob's Charm*. RX and Bo tried to get Quincy’s attention as Sterling asked who the voice was. As Alaerith asked Yashani if she also recognized the voice when Quincy cut him off to insist it wasn’t them. Yashani noted it sounded a lot like her as before Bo and Sterling continued to ask who the voice was. Kaz called out to Quincy to insist it was indeed her and Sterling noted hags were known for their trickery. Kaz continued to try and convince them it wasn't the hag and Quincy removed *Ob's Charm* from their left ear. Bo asked the voice directly who they were before RX explained it appeared to be a friend of theirs from the past. Quincy insisted it was a trick, pointed out they were told outright this place was meant to break them, that they had every reason to believe it was a trick and that Quincy had lost three of their remaining charms and it could be them. Yashani gently reminded Quincy they remembered Robert's words, but Quincy only fought harder, citing that there were 1000s of Sand Genasi and with the way Genasi mixed didn't even have to be a *Sand* Genasi and by logic the only reason it should be Kaz was the party’s own shitty luck.

Alaerith held out his right hand to show Quincy the *Ring of the Sandrunner* and noted there was a way to tell. Alaerith asked Kaz, if if it really was her, to confirm what she gave Quincy to give to him and when Kaz noted it was a ring, *her* *rin*g, to help him stay hidden sheepishly replied yep. Kaz noted she couldn't hear Quincy anymore and asked Alaerith or anyone to get Quincy to tell her it was her, even though she was unsure why the group was there or how she could hear any them. Alaerith asked if she had a charm with an hourglass or crown on it and Kaz confirmed she did and that her grandfather gave it to her. Alaerith asked Quincy to put *Ob's Charm* back on, noting there was no doubt it was her and as Sterling began to theorize on the sand genasi grandfather gently quieted Sterling as Quincy did so. Kaz asked if it was really Quincy and when Quincy echoed the sentiment back, noting for both of their sakes they hoped she wasn't real, replied she wished she wasn't. Quincy sighed before recalling they took Kaz to the circus, that at the end of the night they bought Kaz a bracelet and asked what was engraved and when Kaz said it was “home” seemed to put the last nail in the coffin for their belief it wasn't real. Kaz asked how she could be sure they weren't them and Quincy said they don’t know. Kaz asked Quincy what her favorite story was and Quincy, noting they still don’t know why it was her favorite, said it was the one about Quincy’s first time in *Krapjess*, which included their first bar fight and first time Kylan called them his “kid”. Kaz noted that was why it was her favorite, as it was about her family. Quincy, shedding tears, looked up at the rest of the group and when Sterling, who was quietly sobbing, asked if anyone had a tissue Quincy noted that their shitty luck struck again. Sterling noted it was like the books he read as Alaerith told Quincy Kaz had a charm from her grandfather.

Quincy asked Kaz how long she had been here and what happened and Kaz asked to confirm if she meant in the cold or the other places she had been after *she* found Kaz before noting maybe a few days and that it was hard to say as she hadn't slept in a while. Sterling asked Kaz to describe the room she was in and, just as the hags returned from the room behind the bookcase, Kaz noted they were back, that she was in a small room with some bookshelves, a few tables and a cauldron. Kaz, after some prompting, eventually revealed the walls were made of ice and noted the group were close by as she could feel them. Sterling unpinned *Ob's Charm* before conferring that it was clear Kaz was in that room along the hallway where Bo was spotted by the hag the day before and told Quincy if they could get in the hallway together he could get both of them into the room with her. The party started to plan ways to do so from creating a distraction or drawing them out just as they heard footsteps approaching and saw Esmeria leap over the group ran in the direction of the hags. Bo started to immediately chase after her as the thunderous footsteps of Seren, with his staff in the shape of a huge straw of hay and his purple aura now glowing orange, followed and ran past them while angrily telling the others to stop her. Kaz called over the charm to tell them someone ran by as RX followed after Seren. Kaz told them over the charm to tell them the hags were leaving the room at the sound of the commotion outside. just as Bo bumped into the Mirror hag and resisted it's *Confounding Ugliness*. Sterling grabbed onto Quincy’s collar to keep them together for when their opportunity to teleport came.

Sterling led Quincy to the end of the hallway, into the room with the spike pit, hopped onto Seren’s back for line of sight, activated *Manifest Mind* to summon Tollanessa in the hallway facing the hag’s lair, cast *Dimension Door* through her to teleport them into the hag’s lair, as the Bur Hag used their reaction to cast *Counterspell* to negate the magic*,* but as Kaz used their reaction also cast *Counterspell* to negate the hag's attempt allowing them to teleport next to her, then tipped over the table at the center for cover and ducked behind it. Bo used his reaction to cast *Anticipate Attack* to blink past the Mirror Hag to the end of the hall where the hallway was blocked by a sheet of green ice, slashed it with *Passus* while activating *Anti-Magic Strike,* but the blade rang off the ice harmlessly.

Back at the pit Seren and RX saw Esmeria step out from the ice wall without her cloak, an electrified sickle in one hand, a dripping red dagger in the other and strapped with daggers, pierced Seren with one of her three *Galeforce Daggers* and told him she was ready to end it and Seren replied gladly. The Mirror Hag turned to Bo, cast *Lightning Bolt,* with Nubbi who managed to resist while Bo took the full lightning magic, but left Nubbi lifeless on the floor. The Bur Hag approached Quincy and Sterling, insisted they couldn't take Kaz, cast *Ice Storm* on the three of them as Sterling cast *Counterspell* to negate it and as the Blood Hag used their reaction and failed to cast *Counterspell* to stop Sterling negated the magic.

Back at the pit, Yashani spotting Esmeria, joined Seren and RX, and as Esmeria taunted her activated *Rage* before she pulled out two of the silver darts from Ember in *Nij’a* and pierced her one of them in a soft spot in her intricate armor. Esmeria activated a *Legendary Action* to pull out *Puncture* and shoot Yashani as Seren used his reaction intercede and take the hit instead and demanded she stop hurting his friends. Seren approached Esmeria, activated *Metamagic : Subtle Spell* as he cast *Holy Weapon* on his staff to imbue it with radiant magic, bludgeoned her with his staff and pressed her against the wall. Esmeria smirked as she activated two *Legendary Actions* to activate *Interdict* on RX, allowing her to teleport behind him and yelled it wouldn't be that easy. RX managed to grab Esmeria after two attempts leaving her *Grappled*, then activated *Action Surge* and suplexed her to the ground after two attempts leaving her *Prone*. Esmeria activated her last *Legendary Action* to pierce RX with *Storm Sickle,* but remained on the ground.

Kaz struggled to break from her binds against her binds but couldn't break free before she instead turned to the Mirror Hag and cast *Accursed Act* causing a jet of black energy to hit her chest that will damage her whenever she casts a spell. Kaz also told Boris to try to break free of his cage and Boris opened his mouth, revealed his four mandibles and a mouth of tiny teeth and used them to start destroying his cage. Back at the pit Alaerith seeing Esmeria appear, activated *Metamagic :* *Quickened Spell* to cast *Mirror Image,* approached Esmeria, cast *Shocking Grasp* on her and afterwards put a little distance.

The Blood Hag looked at Quincy, activated *Call of the Blood Curse* causing them to suddenly suffer internal bleeding as their arteries ruptured, then moved to Sterling, activated *Blood-Drinking Hair* on him as Quincy used their reaction to activate Gambler's Taunt to stop it and bring it's attention to Quincy. Quincy felt their arteries rupture again before they fired *Panache* twice on the Blood Hag as it seemed to naturally resist the bullets, then activated *Deed :* *Bite the Bullet* to regain some health. Sterling stood from the table, moved a little bit, failed to cast *Slow* on the Blood Hag and Bur hag who resisted the magic, then returned to the table and, noticing Kaz was bound by rope, used his dagger to quickly cut her bindings.

Back in the hallway, Bo gently pushed Nubbi’s lifeless body behind him, looked at the Bur Hag, threatened that he was *"gonna kill her dead"* as he cast *Zephyr’s Strike* to disappear and reappear right behind the hag, and resisted her *Confounding Ugliness* as he slashed her with *Passus* as he *Zephyr's Strike* empowered the first strike and activated *Torment* to enhance the second with radiant energy at the cost of his health. Esmeria, still *Grappled* by RX, activated *Invoke Authority* : *Aspect of Ruin* and as the ground shook around RX, Alaerith and Yashani, causing all but Alaerith to be left with a point of *Exhaustion*, then caused the ground around them and debris to be hurled around as Yashani avoided the brunt of debris while Alaerith and RX took the full brunt of the burning debris.

The Mirror Hag felt the psychic energy from Kaz’s *Accursed Act* assail her mind when she tried and failed to cast *Stinking Cloud* as Sterling used his reaction to have Tollanessa casts *Counterspell* as she grabbed her hand to stop her. The Mirror hag ran from Bo, as Bo used his reaction and missed slashing her, and headed to the wall of green ice. The Bur Hag moved deeper in the lair room and cast *Cone of Cold* on Quincy, Sterling and Kaz who all managed to avoid most of the cold energy sent at them.

Back in the hallway, Yashani seeing Esmeria was *Prone,* smashed *Umbra* into Esmeria’s chest twice, then activated *Flurry of Blows* to smack her chest twice again. Esmeria, wheezing for breath, told them she wasn't done before she activated three *Legendary Actions* to sink into the ice, breaking free from the grapple, and disappeared from their sight. Seren, frustrated at Esmeria disappearing, walked around the remainder the narrowest point of the spike pit, cast *Misty Step* to appear near the Mirror Hag at the end of the hallway and resisted her *Confounding Ugliness* as he slammed his *Holy Weapon* empowered staff into her. RX, also seeing his quarry disappeared, moved into the room with the pit, crouched down for a running leap and activated *Psi-Powered Leap* to fly 30 feet over the pit and into the hallway, entered the hags’ lair, resisted the stench that Boris gave off as he approached the Bur Hag, failed to grapple her twice, then activated *Action Surge* and grabbed her after two attempts leaving her *Grappled*.

Kaz, now free from her binds, held out one arm as sand dripped from her body and extended until it solidified into a large glaive that continuously dripped sand, then moved to the side of the Blood Hag and slashed her. Boris buried under the sand, appeared near the Bur Hag and bit at the hag's flesh. Back in the hallway, Alaerith moved past Yashani, asked if they should followed the others or stay and when Yashani pointed out there was no reason to stay, led her with him till he had sight of the hallway and activated *Metamagic : Quickened Spell* to cast *Thunderstep* as a bonus action and teleported near the open entrance of the hag’s lair near Tollanessa. The Blood Hag slashed Quincy with one of her two claw strikes, as RX used his reaction to activate *Psionic Shield* to reduce the blow, then activated *Blood-Drinking Hair* on them to heal herself with their blood as Quincy was left *Grappled* within her hair.

### **Break!**

* Official welcome to Samara, she will be joining the ABSQ crew for the foreseeable future as Kaziyea Sandestra

### **Part Two**

Esmeria activated her last *Legendary Action* to appear out of a wall of ice from the chest up, pulled out *Puncture* and fired on them. Quincy reached out to level *Panache* in Esmeria’s direction, but still Grappled within the Blood Hag’s Blood Drinking Hair drained them of the last dredges of life as they were left *Unconscious*. Sterling, moved to the cauldron at the center of the room, resisted the stench that Boris gave off as he looked inside it, noticed it was some sort of de-icer, then noticing Quincy was down used *Metamagic : Careful Spell* to systematically keep Kaz and Quincy safe as he cast *Fireball* as the Blood Hag resisted the brunt of it, with Esmeria who avoided it all as *Evasion* activated*,* but the Bur Hag and RX took the full brunt of it, as RX used his reaction to cast *Absorb Elements* to deflect some of the flames, then dived to cover Quincy’s *Unconscious* body with his own.

Back in the hallway, Bo asked Seren to revive Nubbi as he cast *Zephyr’s Feather* creating three razor like feathers of energy and hurls one at the Bur Hag while activating *Anti-Magic Strike* to empower the blow and also broke the hag’s concentration on a spell causing a bookcase, that had been blocking a doorway, revealed the room the hags came from with a bed and a glowing book on a pedestal, that RX could see from where he stood inside the hags’ lair, then moved through Yashani and Alaerith behind Seren.

Esmeria stepped from of the wall entirely, approached RX, taunted him as she grabbed his face and activated *Infernal Conduit* to flood RX with necrotic energy and regain that in health, while also leaving him with two more points of *Exhaustion*, then walked to approach Kaz. Back in the hallway, the Mirror Hag felt the psychic energy from Kaz’s *Accursed Act* assail her mind as she attempted to cast *Lightning Bolt* on Seren, Bo, Alaerith and Yashani as Sterling used his reaction to have Tollanessa cast *Counterspell* to negate the attack, as the Blood Hag used their reaction to cast *Counterspell* and negate Tollanessa's magic, followed by Kaz who used their reaction to *Counterspell* the Blood Hag's magic, negating *Lightning Bolt*. The Mirror Hag then activated *Reconfiguring Curse* on the four, with Bo, Alaerith and Yashani who resisted the curse, while Seren suddenly sprouted horns and fur across his body and lost three points of his Charisma.

The Bur Hag cast *Ice Storm* at Kaz, Sterling and the *Unconscious* Quincy, with Kaz who resisted the brunt of it, while Sterling and Quincy took the full cold magic . Yashani, hearing the commotion, ran into the lair, resisted the stench that Boris gave off as she saw Sterling call for help and activated *Hand of Healing* from long range to heal Quincy and bring them to consciousness, then came up behind Esmeria and smacked the back of her head with one of her two strikes with *Umbra*. Esmeria turns around, activated a *Legendary Action* to shoot Yashani with *Puncture* as Quincy used their reaction to activate *Gambler's Taunt* to shoot a glancing blow at her palm and stop the attack.

Back in the hallway, Seren agreed to help Nubbi, but noting the others needed help moved from the Mirror Hag, as the hag used their reaction and missed biting him, entered the hags’ lair, failed to resist the stench Boris gave off leaving him *Poisoned* as he activated *Channel Divinity : Twilight Sanctuary* causing mantles of purple light to settle on his allies, then cast *Mass Healing Word* on those he could. Esmeria activated her last *Legendary* *Action* to activate *Aura of Ruin* on everyone in the room, allies alike, with RX who managed to resist the brunt of it while everyone else took the full necrotic energy, leaving Quincy and Sterling both *Unconscious*. RX activated *Ob's Charms* to point out the book behind the shelf, all while his voice glitched from the damage he had taken, moved the *Grappled* Bur Hag in his grasp and cast *Shocking Grasp* on her, then activated *Second Wind* to heal himself. Kaz, seeing Quincy go down the second time, turned on Esmeria, slammed her glaive into the ground as she cast *Boiling Blood* causing waves of heat to radiate as blood forcibly poured out of her mouth and was left *Incapacitated* and fell to the ground*.* Boris bit down on the Bur Hag’s foot causing her to scream as he began to eat her slowly, but determinately.

Alaerith, having seen Nubbi’s lifeless charred body and had flashbacks in his mind, ran into the hag’s lair, reached into the *Handy Haversack* at Yashani’s side to pull out *Vile’s Fang,* felt the connection renewed as he held it, mentally called out to whoever he had to, whether there was someone or not, that he was willing to give in if he was given the power to end this, put the necklace back on and feeling a burning within him moved toward Esmeria, resisted the stench that Boris gave off and as lightning charged off his body, told her he never wished to see her again and cast *Lightning Bolt* causing white lightning to go through her body. The Blood Hag failed to activate *Blood Curse* on Alaerith who coughed up the blood before it could harm him, turned to Kaz, slashed her twice with her claws twice leaving her barely standing and then activated *Blood-Drinking Hair* on her, as Seren used his reaction to swap places with Kaz in a flash of light as the hag instead healed herself with his blood and was left *Grappled* within her hair. Quincy rolled her death save, followed by Sterling who rolled his death save.

Back in the hallway, Bo slashed the Mirror Hag twice with Passus while activating *Anti-Magic Strike* to enhance the first slash as well and *Torment* to enhance the second with radiant energy at the cost of his health. Esmeria, still *Incapacitated*, was left unable to do anything as Kaz concentrated on the magic keeping her down. The Mirror Hag failed to activate *Reconfiguring Curse* on Bo as he shook it off just, then bit him twice as Bo activated *Sainted Reprisal* to to strike back with radiant magic as a last blow before being left *Unconscious*. The Bur Hag failed to cast *Ice Storm* as Alaerith told them to shut her mouth and used his reaction to cast *Counterspell* to negate the magic. Yashani, seeing both Quincy and Sterling were down, activated *Hand of Healing* from long range to heal Quincy, followed by Sterling, to bring them both to consciousness, then went into the room with the glowing book and stopped in front of the pedestal.

Seren, still *Grappled* within the Blood Hag’s *Blood Drinking Hair,* drained them of their health before he dropped *Holy Weapon* causing it to discharge in a flash of radiant light with Esmeria and the Blood Hag who resisted the brunt of it, while the Bur Hag took the full radiant magic and was left *Blinded* by it's light before it burned away into radiant dust, then slammed his staff on the ground to cast *Spirit Guardians* causing pixies to appear centered around himself. RX activated *Second Wind* to heal himself and, still does not look great, moved to Esmeria with his sword raised and, still being *Indicted* from Esmeria earlier, automatically encased her in shadows causing his two slashes miss her. Kaz moved around Esmeria on the floor and stabbed into her with her glaive. Boris moved to the Blood Hag and bit into her feet.

Alaerith, realizing he couldn't hear the usual sounds of Bo and *Passus* in the hallway, asked Tollanessa what was happening and when she replied he had gone down, went to the hall, saw Bo *Unconscious* on the ground with the Mirror Hag over him, resisted her *Confounding Ugliness* as his right eye turned to the slit shape followed by his left eye also starting to get unstable and activated *Metamagic : Quickened Spell* to cast *Lightning Bolt* on the Mirror Hag leaving her on her last legs. The Blood Hag, after being swarmed by the in range *Spirit Guardians*, failed to activate *Call of the Blood Curse* as she resisted it's magic, missed slashing Seren twice with her claws, then failed to activate *Blood-Drinking Hair* on Sterling as Seren used his reaction to interpose himself with his shield.

Quincy, barely conscious from Yashani’s healing, moved to Esmeria on the floor, straddled her, dropped *Panache,* activated *Life Drain* using their Ruined Moon mark to heal themself by punching her their fists twice, then ripped *Puncture* out of her grasp and held it. Sterling attempted to move from the Blood Hag, as the Blood Hag used her reaction to activate *Blood-Drinking Hair* on him and, in spite of Sterling using his reaction to cast *Silvery Barbs* to distract them, and was left *Grappled* and *Unconscious* in their grasp. Back in the hallway Bo rolled his death save.

Esmeria, still *Incapacitated*, was left unable to do anything as Kaz concentrated on the magic keeping her down, while Seren's in range *Spirit Guardians* swarmed her. Back in the hallway, the Mirror Hag bit down twice on Bo's *Unconscious* body removing any chance of his survival  and as his body became consumed in a bright purple light at the final bite, Alaerith, who saw, this let out a roar louder than he ever had before.

Yashani reached out to activate *Ki Lock* on the book, but as the the sound of the roar rattled the walls around her and remembering the fight wasn't over yet returned to the hag's lair, noticed the Blood Hag and Esmeria as she ran to the Blood Hag, bludgeoned it with one of her two strikes with her staff and ending it, then activated *Flurry of Blows* and bludgeoned Esmeria with one of her two strikes with her staff again. Seren demanded Esmeria to tell him where *“it”* was, realized as she gurgled blood that she couldn't speak and at a loss for what else to do, caught between the room he was in and the lack of sound from the hallway, readied himself to dodge and waited. RX, still standing over Esmeria’s body, lifted his sword, used the remaining coordination and effort he had to slash her with one of his two strikes through her shadows, while activating *Psionic Strike* to empower the blow, and managed to pierce through her shoulder with finality and flopped on top of her exhausted. Kaz, even seeing Esmeria’s body went limp, Kaz continued to strike at her body with her glaive. Boris started to consume the now dead Blood Hag.

Back in the hallway, Alaerith's roar grew louder and more bestial as *Mirror Image* dropped and his left eye fully turned into the same slit shape before he ran to the Mirror Hag and resisted her *Confounding Ugliness* as he cast *Lightning Bolt* causing her to to turn to mist as the lightning consumed her.

In the wake of battle Seren cast *Healing Word* on Sterling to heal him and once up Sterling cast *Vortex Warp* through Tollanessa to bring Bo's body to Seren, but when he saw that it failed as Bo's body continued to fade in and out of existence faster and faster and couldn't be reached by the spell instead ran to the hidden room and to the book. Kaz continued to kick and stab Esmeria's limp body until her body gave out, then collapsed onto the floor sobbing. Esmeria breathed out a few final words, murmuring that her body and soul had grown cold before Quincy, needing to make sure she wouldn't get back up, used *Puncture* to shoot her once in the chest and once in the head, then climbed off the body to check on Kaz. Alaerith, still before the lifeless bodies of Bo and Nubbi, continued to roar as the lightning to flare off his body. Seren ran out of the hags’ lair to Bo’s side and readied himself to cast *Revivify* but found again Bo’s form flickered to fast to find a suitable target and called for Sterling to come as he needed him. Bo, with the last dredges of consciousness, tapped the ground next to Nubbi to direct his attention to Nubbi instead. Sterling reached out to the glowing book, stopped his hand as he muttered that they wouldn't be the end of the group and ran towards Bo as well. RX collapsed against a nearby wall as his body sparked from the damage he took and his own *Exhaustion*. Yashani ran to Alaerith and seeing his eyes and that he wasn't in a right state of mind, pulled him into a tight hug, applying pressure in the hopes of calming him down, even in spite of the lightning still coming off his body.

As Bo continued to flicker the mark of his Martyrdom, the glowing clock on his back, struck the final hour that marked the time of his fated death. Bo asked Seren to give RX *Passus and* whispered its activation phrase with the last of his breath. Seren insisted that he could help and to let him try, along with Sterling who asked for Tollanessa for something that could be done, but Bo simply said his time had run out.

As Seren begun to cast *Revivify* on Nubbi and Alaerith continued to fight in yashani's grasp, the group heard a voice in the air, one that Yashani and Alaerith recognized from *Qho’sovo*, along with the image of the Skein Witch that formed in an outline over Bo and told the group

“*The deed is done...an end of destruction has been brought. One of the ruin lies dead and our friend’s journey is done*.”

The party heard a final strike of a clock resound in the air as Bo’s body flickered and faded into faint purple light.

1. ↑ Heavily implying that like Seren, Kaz was pulled into the Lighthouse by Esmeria
2. ↑ You will hear the word *Counterspell* a lot this episode lol
3. ↑ Even the half damage of a successful save against the spell dealt doubled Nubbi’s health in damage
4. ↑ Jon brought out an epic burn and earned himself an *Inspiration* that could be used for a reroll when he needed!
5. ↑ Haelley blew out her mic in excitement having barely passed the first Constitution save in nearly 40 episodes
6. ↑ Jon used his earlier *Inspiration* to reroll his missed attack and turn it into a hit!
7. ↑ The spell on their *Unconscious* body makes grants one automatic failed death save
8. ↑ Quincy didn't roll terribly and tried activating *All In* to boost the roll to a success, but unfortunately rolled a 1 and had to treat the entire roll as a Natural 1
9. ↑ Originally Alaerith was meant to add *Lightning* *Bolt* as a spell as a result of a d100 role, but because he already had it Darrin adjusted that his *Lightning Bolt*, if cast, was unavoidable by those targeted!!
10. ↑ The roll was forgotten at the time and was done after being remembered
11. ↑ Haelley rolls a 9 on a d100 roll when picking it up; the reason for the roll has not been explained
12. ↑ As a Martyr, Bo had to fail 5 death saves to die, instead of the usual 3, but as melee attacks count as automatic critical each counted as two failed saves each and, as *"fate"* (poor choice of words haha) would have it, Mak failed the first death save they rolled bringing him to five.
