Vespin was immune to nonmagical damage and could not be grappled. But we still killed him! Wally got The Soulfire Sacrifice. > > I Sent a message to Yussa and asked if we could come over, and he said yes. Xenia teleported us to Yussa's tower. We examined the Soulfire Sacrifice, and when Xenia placed the gem from [[Aygonath]] on its hilt, it began to emit a bright light. ^summary %% ## Video ### [Andy's video](https://youtu.be/2bgmh8daN-o) 00:00:00 Recap 00:02:23 Impressive for a goldfish 00:04:05 The battle of wits that Andy lost 00:12:01 Roll for initiative 00:13:26 Andy just likes to deny me 00:16:07 Round 1 - Vespin's turn 00:17:43 Dax's turn (Who's keeping initiative?) 00:19:58 Wally's turn 00:21:23 Whatever the grapple one is 00:24:11 Xenia's turn (I'm muted) 00:24:51 I'll show you later 00:25:30 I saw what Murathan did but Andy didn't 00:26:06 Milla's turn 00:26:45 Scura's turn 00:27:28 She's going down into the hole 00:35:43 Round 2 - Vespin's turn 00:37:36 It's your turn, Vespin 00:39:14 Dax's turn 00:41:38 Wally's turn 00:44:11 Andy makes a request for the break 00:44:55 Xenia's turn 00:46:03 Can you put a large hand there? 00:49:01 Xenia tries to fist Vespin 00:50:24 Back channel chat doesn't count, Lulu 00:50:46 Milla's turn 00:52:25 Fisting hand 00:54:43 Scura's turn (Andy totally distracts me) 00:57:08 Does it look like he takes it? 00:58:14 Round 3 - Vespin's turn 01:01:12 Tingles and who am I into now? 01:02:03 Wait until he says Vespin moves 01:05:43 Dax's turn 01:09:43 Wally's turn (keep up) 01:11:14 What's the monk's name? 01:12:18 Xenia's turn 01:14:04 Milla's turn 01:15:51 Scura's turn 01:16:29 Andy distracts me again 01:18:02 I don't like the crap he's using 01:19:42 Round 4 - Vespin's turn (Andy was distracted too) 01:21:35 Don't you hate when people aren't ready on their turns? 01:27:37 Wally's isn't a math equation 01:29:11 Dax's turn (needles in his arse) 01:31:17 Wally's turn 01:31:56 Xenia's turn (just do the math for Andy) 01:36:48 Water creature attacks Wally 01:38:38 Milla's turn (with Scura on deck) 01:40:54 Scura's turn (Andy mocks me) 01:41:45 Tyler is concerned that I'm angry 01:43:57 Break (I take a long drink) 01:44:40 Round 5 - Vespin's turn 01:45:27 Fuck you, and I spoil Andy's crit 01:46:34 Aura of Life (what do you mean, luck?) 01:50:16 Dax's turn (Fucking Scura, such a killjoy) 01:51:40 Andy can't say incorporeal 01:52:20 Wally's turn 01:56:15 Xenia's turn 01:58:14 44 points of fisting damage 01:59:55 Milla's turn (checking your dock?) 02:01:54 Scura's turn (stand there and take it) 02:03:45 Round 6 - Vespin's turn (Andy is indecisive) 02:08:15 Lair action (fuck me) 02:09:44 Dax's turn (HDYWTDT) 02:19:46 Squiggly circle circle, and Murathan can teleport 02:21:14 Sending to Yussa and teleportation 02:23:16 Serious mountains 02:24:21 Are those pajamas bespoke? 02:25:14 Wally always has a sword in his hand 02:28:41 Me shipping Wally and Wensforth 02:32:27 Well we're going to do Planeshift now 02:33:05 Andy didn't end it right ⭐ That Sjoerd was back and that we were complete. ⭐ The Xenia-Wally combo move with the Arcane Hand. ⭐ How Xenia's fisting came in hand-y. ⭐ Spoiling Vespin's crit on Wally with Aura of Life + Dragon form. It's the first time I've used that spell, and it was very satisfying to have it be useful. ⭐ Having a fight where I came close to running out of spell slots. Love a good meaty battle sometimes. ⭐ Everyone concentrating on something. Love spellcasting in D&D. 🪄 More spellcasting opponents. It's so much more dynamic and more of a head game than hitting a bag of HP. 🪄 A longer downtime. Maybe it's just me, but while rushing from adventure to adventure is fun and frantic, it's also nice to get to do some longer-term character development or create a larger impact on the world around us that we can't do with individual battles. I wonder if we could just do some of this async to cut down on real time required? 🪄 Next week would get here already. Anxious to have met all of you in person. ### [Murathan's video](https://youtu.be/yzyXk-WCHOw) 00:00:00 Recap 00:12:42 Roll for initiative 00:16:35 Round 1 - Vespin's turn 00:18:20 Dax's turn 00:20:37 Wally's turn 00:24:47 Xenia's turn 00:26:44 Milla's turn 00:27:22 Scura's turn 00:36:04 Round 2 - Vespin's turn 00:39:52 Dax's turn 00:42:16 Wally's turn 00:45:33 Xenia's turn 00:51:52 Milla's turn 00:55:22 Scura's turn 00:59:16 Round 3 - Vespin's turn 01:05:43 Dax's turn 01:10:19 Wally's turn 01:11:48 What's the monk's name? 01:12:56 Xenia's turn 01:14:43 Milla's turn 01:16:28 Scura's turn 01:20:59 Round 4 - Vespin's turn 01:29:49 Dax's turn (needles in his arse) 01:31:54 Wally's turn 01:32:35 Xenia's turn 01:37:25 Water creature attacks Wally 01:38:16 Milla's turn 01:41:30 Scura's turn 01:45:10 Round 5 - Vespin's turn 01:50:47 Dax's turn 01:52:50 Wally's turn 01:56:46 Xenia's turn 01:58:17 44 points of fisting damage 02:00:25 Milla's turn 02:02:23 Scura's turn 02:04:19 Round 6 - Vespin's turn 02:08:44 Lair action 02:10:15 Dax's turn (HDYWTDT) 02:21:59 Sending to Yussa and teleportation 02:24:51 Are those pajamas bespoke? 02:32:50 Well we're going to do Planeshift now %% --- ## Recap ![[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/103_20230912 Facing the shadows in the mirror#^summary]] --- ## Log Around the flower and the sword, floating 10 feet above, is a spectral form of Vespin Chloras. ![[1695148586439 - Combat]] Wally got [[The Soulfire Sacrifice]]! #sending to [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/Yussa Errenis|Yussa]]: > Aygonath gave us the sigils for your teleportation circle.

Xenia puts in the phoenix gem. It emits a bright light.
