Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
Gosh, you're even uglier than the other one! And I'm going to swing in using Reckless Attack to make it straight. And I am going to still... You know what? I'm going to use Grey Weapon Master. I don't care. That was a good idea. Natural 20. Oh!
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
And if he chases after us, the honey is still there.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
Do you trust your own footing? And I am going to just swing my anchor down, and I'm not disadvantaged.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
I think I would like to just smash it and like, so it's like really weak and as soon as I have an opening, I would like to basically return the favor and then take my anchor and just swing it around and just shove the troll off the side.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
I'm so much of a troll stan. I know every single reference that you used.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
What is this meat magic you speak of? Oh, meta magic. What is this meta magic you speak of?
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
Do I feel like... Does it look like we're about to jump? I'm in the moment, I wanna kill trolls. Mr. Barnabas wants to jump. Mr. Barnabas wants to jump. I'm coming to control this.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
And I'm gonna go, I'm getting flashbacks of scrags or pirates boarding my ship and me fighting them off. This is an exhilarating experience as I'm going to try to just brutally murder them. Yes. I'm already advanced, I don't even need to recklessly attack.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
Oh no, I did not expect to be mauled to death by a troll.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
I'm going to look around and I'm going to use my bonus action as the tail is going to, it'll scooch back in to my back as my hand will then turn into a claw.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
I'm going to use a twist. Yep. Wow, not doing well. That is going to be, that's definitely the head. I'm going to deal some damage to it, so 17 plus seven is 24 points of bludgeoning damage, and I have the crusher feat. I'm gonna move him five feet off into the tempest and knock him off the boat. Oh, get fucked.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
Your turn, Beastie, as I'm going to now not use my anchor and grab my crab claw, and I'm gonna attempt to make a grapple with my crab claw. How do you like them grappled? And that is, it replaces the attack action, and I'm going to attempt to grapple him. So it's a context, I believe.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
Well, he fails. So he's grappled. Okay. I am then going to attempt to drag him off of the boat, the sled. So I'm gonna attempt to, if I can basically move this way and hang on, I'd like to move him here and then drop him. Get fucked.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
Natural 20, 28. All right, all right, all right. Ungottable. Give it up.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
I'm just going to just basically take my time, my action, if I can, to basically tie both me and Scrim to the mast.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
What number is that? Two. Two. I think it just kills him. It does. It actually does. Can his spine little shoot out of this? Yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
We'll remember it was starving, maybe. Yeah, it was a skinny little dire wolf.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
And with that, barnacles will cover me, and the seawater that would normally coat me is just... just fading off all around me, and in a single motion, my hand will shift into a claw, and I'm gonna try to just open up its belly.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
and I will basically wrap it up and sling it over my back and find my way back.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
I feel like Taishan would offer everyone a cup of tea as we sit down for a meal.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
Yeah, I think it'd be obvious looking at it. Would that be odd? Would that be, so what Mikey is thinking, that's similar to when Waymar Royce and the rest of his Night's Watch rangers found the wildlings dead. It's like, well, no, this snow can't kill wildlings.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
Like, you know, there had to have been something else that, and it was basically because the White Walkers, the others come in and they basically flash freeze them to death. And so is this, and so I'm thinking like, did a dragon come in?
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
You gotta come up with reasons why no one uses laser guns in Dune.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
Look over there. Look there. Perhaps we can all have calming tea.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
I'd probably be, like, hanging from the rigging, like, just kind of looking over the side, like, trying to see how, like, way far off to the side. And I'll be, like, I'll feel the wind in my hair as, and I'll say, hey, this is the only way to travel!

Do it twice, yeah, it's very important. I think I know, but I'm not going to say anything, because Barnabas doesn't know. Oh. Oh! Oh? Oh, yeah. Pretty good.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
I'm gonna take my anchor and slam it down into leverage and try to just peel it off and yeet it out of it so it smacks against the wall and I'm gonna immediately go into a rage. I'm gonna get covered in barnacles and coral as I'm dripping with sea water.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
Would I recognize it as a troll? Mikey knew that that was troll gold.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
It looked like kin to the scrags that I've killed many a time.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
I will pop on my pipe and breathe in, and I'm going to cast Gust of Wind against the sail to help slow down as quickly as possible. It's a line of strong wind, 60 feet long and 10 feet wide, in the direction that I choose for one minute. So basically I will be trying to, while they're slowing it down, I'm gonna be trying to basically push it against.
Legends of Avantris
Icebound | Ep. 24 | Passage of Rime
And it gets illuminated. I'm asking Tyshan to shoot a firebolt, whatever the longest range fire cantrips he has, into the darkness to illuminate further than what we've seen.
