#and I think Jabari and Fia would be besties

[purplecladmerchant]

Happy halloween!! The hex buds and the third mates decided to go as each other! : D

[naddpod-encounter-tourney]

Option 1:

Enemy: Heradecia and Cerenysus

Episode: C2 E41: Cerenysus

Time: 4:04-2:46:22

Finish: Fia (Cerenysus), Jabari (Heradecia)

Notes: 2 concurrent battles. 2 spellcasting enemies. 2 players juggling 2 PCs each. Surprise Lou and Hexbuds! Caldwell as Lake, Lou ass the spells. Emboldening bond and damage sponging. Living spells for Fia to fight. Jabari trapped in banishment with dry toads. Corbeau staying up and almost forgetting the death ward. Zirk's fucking crown removal and the deal he makes for his life. Hank breaking the curse. Tarragon's halfling abilities coming in clutch. Fia casts the first revivify in Eldermourne in centuries.

Propaganda: (anonymous) Fia won't fight Irina. The hexbloods are fighting their mom again. Lou Wilson voices the living spells. Caldwell gets to be the dog. Zirk fucking dies and then Fia tells hank to kill her girl(hood) friend it's all so crazy. It's 4 players and 6 PCs across 2 locations fighting 2 demigods and one demigod is kinda mind controlling the other. It's just a great final fight.

Option 2:

Enemy: Thiala's Cataclysm

Episode: C1 E89: Apocalypse

Time: 27:10-1:30:00 (1:35:17) (I think that distinction is when they leave initiative vs when Bev is safe.)

Finish: Hardwon (Chain 1), Moonshine (Chain 2), Paw Paw (Chain 3)

Notes: Would you like to roll 100 d10s? Hardwon and Apple get hit by lightning an insane number of times. Moonshine is alone but has a sphere of annihilation. Mee Maw and Balnor are somewhere having fun. Bev and Erlin are looking for new gods, being cute, and becoming official. Cobb and Mavrus attempt to save the Dwarphans, become besties, and are saved by Jaina. Bev somehow has an even worse time at Smuggler's Bounty.

Propaganda: (anonymous) The end of days in Campaign 1 is so well done and I think this really shines in the Cataclysm encounter. Not only does Murph balance three different locations with five players, but the Apple/Hardwon duo being a little competitive is so fun, Moonshine wielding the Sphere of Annihilation is very good, Mavrus and the Goo Gone Gang are a dynamic of all time & Beverly and Erlin scrambling to deal with things in their darkest moment is heart-warming. It all comes out with the scoring and a sort of frantic energy this encounter has. Also - Pendergreens cameo.
