C3E118 The Hallowed Cage

C3E117 Race to the Ruidian Core
C3E119 Predathos Awakened

Thumbnail for episode 118. Travis, Liam, and Ashley stand side-by-side in action poses. Travis grimaces with his hands out in front like claws, Liam stands sideways with his right arm outstretched looking intensely at the viewer, and Ashley has one hand on her chin and another palm up at shoulder height. Travis is dressed in a blue hoodie, Liam in a black leather jacket, and Ashley in a blue jacket with brass buttons. They stand against a colorful backdrop with splashes of pinks, oranges, yellows, blues, and greens over white.

DC 22 is tough to hit! If you want more information than our At a Glance card had, this table gives the full range of probabilities accounting for things like Braius’s Aura of Protection (+4). Nat 20s are still always counted as success.
