Awesome / Jemjammer

Go To

  • After disintegrating a dude with lightning, Jylliana is able to scare the rest of the bandits away from the party.
    Jylliana: You attack us in the middle of the night, go after some star—after we decide that we're not going to even help you you decide to take our gold? You have no honour, you have no faith, you have a cleric! Who is not even walking in any sort of light, and yet tries to attack my people with Holy Radiance?! Put down your weapons! We have no time for you! Leave us!
  • During the dragon fight during The Fallen Jammer, Tuatha tries to dispel the undead magic on the dragon, but fails and uses the Wild Magic...unleashing a volley of Magic Missiles instead.
    Kit: You know in Mechwarrior where you fire all your weapons at once?
    Jake: Yeah!
    Annie: Yeah it Robotechs! It Macrosses!
    Kit: You Macross this fucking dragon.
    • In the same fight, Aelfgifu is able to parkour up the face of the dragon and slash it up with its blades.
  • While fighting Sister Takaris, Jylliana is finally able to successfully cast a Mass Healing Word. Reinvigorated, she flies into a righteous fury and flings herself and her hammer towards the nearest Draconian.
    • Afterwords Jylliana falls off the tower and starts praying. She hears a voice. "I'm here." She flies back into the tower with two spectral angel wings, her eyes glowing.
  • After repeated legendary attacks from Takaris, with Cacophony knocked unconscious and Jylliana and Tuatha nearly hurled off the edge of the tower by Draconians, Aelfgifu is able to land the killing blow against her.
    Aelfgifu: I! *slash* Have had! *slash* Enough of you! *stabs her through the head*
  • In episode 26, Cacophony sneakily uses Enthralling Performance and essentially turns a room full of gruff guards into her adoring fans.
    • When one guard who she missed tries to stop them, she uses Suggest to have him pay no mind.
    • She manages to Enthrall even more guards (and refresh the one she had already) to gain access to Blackjammer's Sword.
    • By the end Kit ends up having to toss out most of their plans for the session because it went from a dangerous stealth mission to what amounts to a house tour. It truly is Maq's finest moment.
  • In episode 27, Cacophony successfully casts Heat Metal on an armoured opponent and forces them to take a good chunk of damage and focus entirely on getting the super-hot armour off. Kit recognizes that Maq has been trying to pull this off since Stormhaven and tells her that they're so proud of her.
  • Episode 39, the final battle with Dread Kronos. Artie uses his tank top to fire a cannon ball directly through the Death Tyrant's eye and completely shatter him.
  • Episode 50, against an ancient mummy lord who can only be damaged with magic, Jylliana casts Call Lightning at fourth level. Even though the Mummy passes the spell save DC of the first hit, it still does 14 damage. And it deals 4d10 damage on Jyll's every turn.
    Jylliana: Ethla said knock you out!
    • And the final hit is Artie, blasting it back into sand with his Tank Top.
  • Artie might seem like a goober, but he's skilled enough to instinctively attack someone even when he's asleep and they're sneaking up on him. He isn't actually awake until after his initial strike.
  • Episode 55, aptly named "Thirty Seconds of Shark Fight": Jylliana casts Control Water while the party fights a shark in the ocean and creates a waterless trench around them all. Annie's been reading the text of the spell a lot in the two months they last played. Aelfgifu follows it up by shooting an arrow down its maw with a Nat 20.
  • In epiosde 71, Jylliana intimidates Grak into staying in line.
    Jyll: Motherhood means a lot of things to diffrent people, but if you ask me Grak I think Ethla is a mother in the same way that...a bear is a mother. Like let's say for the sake of this conversation that I worship some kind of large predator animal. Y'know she is benevolent, she is kind, she is very protective of the things that are under her charge, that are in her care, the things that she loves, the things that she cares about. And she is wonderful and nurturing and kind, but if anything...threatens the things that she protects, well she takes action. She rips them apart.
    Grak: Uh-huh.
    Jyll: Piece. By. Piece.
    *Grak starts quivering in his fanny pack*
    Jyll: I just wanna make sure that we're on the same page for how this evening is gonna go out, you know? Right now you're something I'm protecting. But if you do anything to make yourself start to look like a threat, then I guess we'll just have to have another talk about my personal faith.
  • Countess Aguilar telling Jylliana that she can take over the mission of taking out Tornincasa if she's not prepared.
    Aguilar: Listen. If you want me to take control of this entirely, if you want me to tell you what to do and where to go exactly, I can do that. But you have to know that at that pint you become one of my inferiors. You become a member of my organization, functionally, which means I will sacrifice you if I think it means success in this plan and taking down Countess Tornincasa. The question you have to answer is, is that the role you want to play in this? Or do you want to be making your own decisions. Do you want to be the master of your own destiny in this, whether you succeed or fail?
  • Natalia uses her Starheart abilities to turn Ray of Frost into radiant damage, which makes it strong enough to reduce Lucrezia's hit points to zero, prompting her to turns into mist. Then there's a brief debate where the party ask if Natalia had moved into the sunlight (if she had, then the attack would be strong enough to kill her). Kit has Maq call high or low as to whether Natalia had done so, and then rolls an 18. Lucrezia is incinerated into ash instead.
  • Aelfgifu in a moment of ditziness demonstrates her magic powers by casting Green Flame Blade while in the highly flammable phlogiston. Xilwyn comes in with a clutch dispell magic that, while leaving a few fires on the interior of the ship, keeps the whole thing from exploding.
  • In the fight against the undead ship in episode 89, Cacophony fires a shot directly into the powder storage and detonates the entire side of the ship, including it's own ballista.
  • Rio gets two critical hits in a row in the fight against the crystals in episode 101.
  • Tuatha, newly empowered to level 12 thanks to being in the dreamscape, can use Chain Lightning and hits her opponents for 49 damage.
  • The party drink from the Well of Infinity and are exposed to the whole of all creation, witnessing their utter meaninglessness in the vast scope of every universe...and Artie's just too dim and endearing for it to stick.
    Artie: That's so stupid! Of course we're nothing. Of course we're everything. You can't have me without having not-me. I have been a million stars. And I will be a million more. And I am going to have the time of my life.
  • Jyll closes out episode 112 with a well-placed Turn Undead that annihilates the bulk of the Oracle's zombies in a single action.
    • That same episode, Aelfgifu takes a hard hit from the oracle - but the necrotic damage doesn't stick, and as Aelfgifu prepares a Hellish Rebuke she unlocks her dormant Starheart abilities! She then wipes out the Oracle with a beam of pure light.
  • The party sees a flashback where Greyson summons the Neogi ship from the first episode to protect Aelfgifu, and in doing so breaks the Geas that Nevaris placed on him. With his dying breath, he contacts his target.
    Greyson: Fuck your Geas, you bastard. She's not a bomb, she's my daughter. I said she'll get to live her life, and I meant it.
