charlie: I'm gonna walk up to behind the easel, and take a look through it at how shes doing on her painting, now that Chip has stopped.

painter: What is it now, First Knight? I'm very busy, and just trying to get this small detail- y'know actually, now that you're here-

gill: Yes! Do you need assistance?

painter: You typically have an eye for the grandeur, no? This knight... there's something about him, it's not stoicism, but it's gentleness, and I'm not able to capture it in his expression, but I want this moment, the way that he stands watching over all of us, against the castle, the way that he- I just want those that perceive my painting to be able to smell that flowers he walks though to get to his post, the bread that he ate in the morning, and the love that he has for this kingdom. I see it all, but I cant capture it, and I... I don't know, what is it missing? I just cant...

gill: Well, you got the armor, the sheen, the blade, but... what about his face? What about his hand, the other one, not the sword one, where that one rests? You can see by his feet there this... almost looks like a basket, maybe something his wife or... someone important, prepared for him for the post. That's what makes him a guard I think! The things that make him want to show up.

painter: You think he's spoken for? [...] Honestly, I never even considered that that might be why... No of course, I mean, if there's someone you love in the kingdom, you'd do everything in your power to give your best every day. Perhaps it's not just the kingdom that he's so passionate about protecting but.... Maybe you're right, dear, and I'm missing a bit of detail in the face, and I do tend to try and hide the hands, and make it a little bit easier for myself, and maybe I'm running away from those... from drawing the hard things, the things that really express emotion.

gill: Are you okay?

painter: Oh no, I'm fine, it's just... I certainly hope he isn't spoken for.

gill: I could definitely be wrong, and there's a... Well, for someone like you, sometimes this is the best way to get to know someone, right?

painter: We'll see what he thinks of the painting when I finish.

gill: (surprised) It's for him?

painter: Might be :)

gill: Ohhhhhh, come on oh come on.... How close are you?

painter: I'm almost done.

dm: She raises her brush, and begins to paint some more, and as she does, the- You see, her form, begins to fwhoosh, sort of uh, swirl and it collects into a little ball, she disappears from your view, Gillion-

chip: You killed her

gill: I think I just made that woman settle

DB: It has-

DM: You hear in your head, from Destiny's Blade:

DB: I think as much divine power, we have to to strike critically, or it won't be enough to destroy it in one go.

DM: Alright

Gill: Very well, whatever it takes.

DB: It's time to sever the fates we were dealt, Champion.

Charlie: I'm listening to Destiny's Blade, but I'm just looking at Chip, not even looking at the egg, watching him get pulled into this mass, and I think usually Gillion would grip his blade tighter, and get almost a wicked smile in moments like these, where it's do or die, and it's destiny, and it's defying fate. But right now all he can think is that that is his best friend in the whole world he's watching go, and that is the one person that ever made him feel like maybe he could save something. Right now there is only one important thing to save. And so I think, without a fucking word, Gillion is going to launch of this platform, and strike this sword right into the heart of the egg, whatever it takes.

DM: Okay, first just give me an athletics check, 'cuz it'd be kinda funny

Charlie: (laughs) Fuck offfff.

DM: You have advantage, because of your giantism :)). You actually match the size and scale of this mound

Charlie: Twenty two.

DM: You make it over. Here's the deal. You're gonna roll to hit or, do you have a prophetic screwup charge?

Charlie: No

DM: So Destiny's Blade knows you're tapped out of that part of your divinity, of that part of your oath. You hear in your head

DB: Gill, no matter what happens, it's been an honor to watch you grow and as much as I don't remember myself, I know I was born to do this.

DM: And your sword begins to glow, and your prophetic screwup ability is an automatic crit. However you need to break a damage threshold.

Charlie: Okay

DM: I originally wrote that it would 150

Charlie: I don't care what it is

DM: I just want to make sure that it's possible

Charlie: It's possible

DM: Destiny's Blade gave you the natural 20 automatic success critical hit. You don't know how, or what it means, but now you must-

Charlie: Do I still get two attacks?

DM: yeah

Charlie: Are they both crits?

DM: yea

Charlie: okay

DM: yeah. 150 radiant damage. We'll knock off the damage modifier until-

Charlie: First hit, I'm screaming through the air, blade towards this thing, and I tilt it around, and I just want to smash into it, with the hilt. There's no technique, it is just anger and desperation, and this is a- you said natural 20 to hit?

DM: yeah

Charlie: I'm gonna use a 4th level slot to divine smite-

DM: okay

Charlie: -and I'm gonna roll damage. I'm gonna pull out my phone, because I'll need a calculator, I'm gonna tell you what it is in the end.

DM: okay

Charlie: That's 2d8 for the sword, this is for the smite, it would be 2- 3- 4- 5- d8. It is instead going to be 10d8. All with the gillion dice, available now on just roll with it dot com :))

Bizly: I don't think you can plug it and cry at the same time. (laughs)

Charlie: whatever. If anything, that's a better plug.

Bizly: (laughing) I guess so.

Charlie: That's one billion.

Bizly: (laughs again) I wasn't ready for that.

DM: (over the top serious) What.

Charlie: The first strike, because channel divinity: leviathan's might gives double damage against objects and structures, is going to do 130 damage

DM: How much of it is radiant?

Charlie: It would be...

DM: Radiant won't be doubled, right? Not from the structures right?

Charlie: No, it's all damage is doubled for structures.

DM: Okay, just let me know how much of that is radiant.

Charlie: It would be... 94.

DM: Okay. Next attack.

Charlie: Next attack.

Bizly: Oh my God

DM: Before you- you can start rolling your dice. We cut back over to inside of Arlin's mind.

the cut to arlins mind is transcribed in this post, not here

DM: Gill. We switch back over. Now you're gonna roll more damage.

Charlie: I already rolled the second attack, I can roll it again if you want.

DM: Just the damage.

Charlie: Yeah I did that. Oh, I'm sorry for killing your dad, bro. Uh, it's 174 radiant damage.

DM: Total?

db: gill! what happened, i've been trying to talk to you! i've been trying, but it's not getting through, you weren't responding.

dm: you hear destiny's blade in your mind.

charlie: I look down is it like, lit up or anything?

dm: It's like a very, very dull glow, you can kinda see some sort of shimmering thread of the hilt that kind of like goes down the spine of the blade, and it also dulls glow. you've never seen this before, it's like a string of light.

gill: I hear you now, friend. What've you been trying- How long have you been trying to get in touch, 'cuz it feels like we've been walking for a long, long, long, long, even longer than we expected, really. Like I thought we were there multiple times.

db: I don't have the same concept of time, it's not like I can see it pass

gill: What's wrong, why?

db: I was trying to tell you that this place feels so familiar and bad, wrong. Like I've been here before.

gill: Do you remember what happened when you were here before?

db: no, I- I-

dm: I'm rolling so low, I rolled a three

db: I- I- I don't know, not yet, I just know that you need to be careful. You need to be careful because something is- I can sense the evil, can you not sense the evil?

gill: I- this whole place is.

db: It's trying to separate us, it's trying to break our oath, I can feel it.

gill: don't worry friend, no such thing will happen. No matter what happens to either of us, the choice is ours. We won't break it. Don't fear.

db: Just... keep checking in. Make sure that i don't lose you again.

gill: Yeah, you want to like-

db: and be on your guard.

gill: always

db: more than ever, seriously

Gill: I've changed my mind.

Charlie: Gillion looks at the raising sun

Gill: I'm going to live

Chip: Yes, you are (fondly?)
