(Liam is back, Ashley is gone, and Marisha is high)

The one where Orion gets set up by Matt.

PUSH
2:34:12
Orion decides to attack the hydra by casting Chain Lightning again.
Orion: I stick out my ring and Chain Lightning him again.
Matt: "That's a 6th level spell."
Orion: Yeah I can only. No! I know. The one stored in my ring.
Matt: Your ring can only store up to a 3rd level spell.
Orion: @#$%
Matt: You knew this last time.
Orion: No, that was the Ioun Stone.
Matt: (hard stare)
Orion: We all learned something today kids. Ok, I don't do that.
(our I DON'T DO THAT moment for today's episode)
Orion: uh, instead, fine, uh, im gonna, uh
Travis: "Hit it in its butthole?"
Orion makes a humorous save by describing his alternative action as using telekinesis to bonk two hydra heads together like coconuts and then wrapping their necks around each other and tying them in a knot like a Max Fleischer Popeye the Sailor cartoon.

BONUS HUMOR
1:24:00
Grog is lounging at the bar, drinking ale and eating a sandwich with a really crunchy sound (Travis is eating a chicken sandwich IRL).
Travis: "I'll be at the bar." (munch, crunch)
Sam: "That's not even chicken, that's just a piece of wood."
Table: laughs, Travis especially.

3:07:10
Matt goes Sean Connery.
Liam: "Words are mighter than the sword, right? wink ayyyy!"
Sam" (laughs) "Don't ever do that again."

MATT TRICKS OUR HERO (no, really!)
2:53:10
Orion's turn, and he asks if the Hydra's radius is 20', and Matt nods yes and clearly sounds out an affirmative "mm-hm". Orion plans to cast fireball since both the spell and the creature have matching radii (as just confirmed by Matt). This means the fireball can be cast in the center of the Hydra without reaching any of the party adjacent to it. Matt allows Orion to cast two fireballs without commentary. Then...
Matt: "I need a reflex save from Grog, Vax."
Orions face becomes puzzled.
Orion: (to Marisha) something something Hydra unless something's wrong.
You can tell in the muted convo with her that he believes his fireball should have been centered on Hydra. Orion continues to question Matt's actions without addressing Matt himself.
Matt turns to Orion as Orion gets shushed.
Liam makes his first save, but now Matt makes Liam roll for the second.
Orion: Oh, Hold on a second, wait, I'm putting hold (waving arms) i'm putting a pause on this real quick.
Table: it's too late, the action was taken, etc
Orion: (getting mad) I asked before I cast if the Hydra was a 20' radius and I got a nod.
Matt then stumbles a bit in his reply.
Matt: "The creature is 15' in diameter."
Not only does Matt change his answer from radius to diameter, he doesn't even match the numbers correctly. I believe this is a case of Matt deliberately telling a lie to fuck over Orion, and make the table blame Orion for the collateral damage.
FOR SHAME, MATT MERCER!
Matt admits no wrong doing, but how convenient that the Hydra is felled by Orion's fireballs, and the fight comes to a swift end, and quickly forgotten.

Orion Episode Grade: MERCERED
