Chesul: Watcherthings is an archetype.
 niccus: the one with the spiky balls
ChargingFurret: there's an achievment for hitting max poison
 nymistrya: no one can stop me from only taking pressure points
 corpocracy: Yeah, the cap is the number of tokens (for basically everything that involves tokens)
 northos: no Serge limit break does something else 
 AllTheWeasels:   
 tehfewl: wake blake
Chesul: Power Birb!
ChargingFurret: Caw!
 themercenary1987: CAAAWWWWW
Days_one: I look forward to birb punishing watcher power things
ChargingFurret: i wonder how they handle the bird revive
Chesul: Dang, spire growth isn't that scary in this.
   LoadingReadyRun: How's the music volume?
 Aceviru: I think it's fine
 saucemaster5000: lmao first turn all block and da slam
 AllTheWeasels: volumes good

LaeliaTBR: i thought wheeler said he could kill his mom
 Serpens77: @LaeliaTBR  same
 calculated_uncertainties: 1 1 1 1 1 1 100
   LoadingReadyRun:  I'm sure this hubris won't be punished
CrossXhunteR: did something deal 2 extra damage to the orb walker? i imagine it doesnt matter, but math wasnt mathing for me
 Vilun: did I hear wrong, or did Serge say 22-15=5?
 hatboozeparty: Mathwizards
 Cptasparagus: in wrath does offbyone -> offbytwo?
CrossXhunteR: i said this exact same thing last week, but im glad this is the year of combo serge
   LoadingReadyRun:  Serge just throwing a big tantrum
 WiJohn: Do you only draw once per turn off of beatdown
ChargingFurret: it's balanced to once per turn for the board game
 WiJohn: That makes sense
 Vilun: 2 block off an achievement
 GhostValv: pa.... per?
 AllTheWeasels: Just waiting to get it the same turn as the 30 poison cheevo 
 TheMinionGM: Ending in wrath last turn does a wound right? Or does that get blocked
 hatboozeparty: Good old paper and cardboard
 AllTheWeasels: @TheMinionGM damage from ending in wrath can be blocked, yes

 Sorator13: so that potion is probably one to save for the boss, eh?
LaeliaTBR: sneaky strtike my beloved
CrossXhunteR: triple skip
CrossXhunteR: y'all feel cracked in half currently, so this plan seems god
 TheMinionGM: @AllTheWeasels Nice, couldn't remember from last week.
 Sorator13: well, one of you can't be cursed, yeah
 northos: thanks game
 AllTheWeasels: the blooom
 A_Dub888: “Can’t be cursed” And Serge was never off by one again
 northos: thanks game (unironic) 
 Sorator13: note that Serge *would* get to do this upgrade
 Cptasparagus: in game its a boss relic and I *always* gun for this
 Sorator13: @Cptasparagus big same
mysticsailboat: @Cptasparagus isn't this random rare
ChargingFurret: so cute!
mysticsailboat: and at any reate yeah this is almost always just a free relic
 AllTheWeasels: Hey there little fella!
mysticsailboat: not a well designed event imo tbh
 Sorator13: nine slime! nine slime!
 Sorator13: that has good mouthfeel
 vinewood_og: Same
 A_Dub888: We’re fighting Ben’s Magic: The Gathering-son-?
 mercano82: once the boss is dead, Ben can start poising adds, right?
 the_semicolon: there is a track for just mind bloom
 Sorator13: @mercano82 Yes, but the 2x poison stab & catalyst (triples poison) are each one-time use only
 Sorator13: so it's really just his bouncing flask that he can re-use
   LoadingReadyRun: @the_semicolon what's Mind Bloom?
CrossXhunteR: not much. what's mind bloom with you
 northos: @LoadingReadyRun Mind Blooming these...uh, wait...I mean...
 Sorator13: war paint, my beloved
 Mazrae: I can just hear Ian saying "Empty your mind" now
 corpocracy: Energy does have a cap of 6
Lavalot: what act is this?
 AllTheWeasels: Yeah this fight is slimes not burns
silenceaux: I think this is the act 3 event that lets you fight an act 1 boss.
 Sorator13: @Lavalot act 3, got an event to fight an act 1 boss
Lavalot: yeah ok relic count makes sense then lol

 QuixoticScrivener: be careful killing the slimes, you might be ending an isekai
akundez: correct me if I’m wrong. if wheeler has a second attack card wouldn’t it trigger that attack again instead of just giving you an extra attack on the first one? it would double the relic to have it activate on the next two attacks wouldn’t it?
 Darleysam: question for chat: do the status cards Serge is exhausting go into his Exhaust pile for Dead Branch?
chaostreader: that’s how the video game does it.
5 raiders from McGurganatorZX have joined!
 Sorator13: That's how it works in the other version of the game we don't talk about, yeah
  Pywodwagon: Slay the Spire with a more in depth CR than the entire pokemon TCG
 Cptasparagus: this is how it works on my version which is entirely me drawing the game on rocks
 DaFhaye: Hello all
 AllTheWeasels: The copy effect rule makes more sense in a context where you treat it as a similar buff to vulnerable and weak -not stacking on the same effect, but applying for longer
   LoadingReadyRun: @AllTheWeasels that makes sense
Days_one: Mind bloomed successfully
   LoadingReadyRun: tonight on Wet Ones: Wet Stone!
Days_one: How think is tonight's tang concoction?
ChargingFurret: dexterity!
 ShaneLeeAtk: It whets the appetite
 realbadatthis_: Wait, they been drinking thick wet this whole time?

 MrGibberish: I missed it. What relic did they get?
 Sorator13: Paul: The video game has a few relics that give you something if you don't take a card; no idea if those are in this version (or if they're added later on)
   LoadingReadyRun: interesting! there are cards that are added later
 Sorator13: @MrGibberish Ben took the "upgrade two cards" one (strike + poison stab), the other two took the dice ones (one gives +1 to a die roll, the other gives -1 to a die roll)
 tehfewl: It is Time
 MrGibberish: Cool. Thanks
Chesul: @Sorator13 If bowl is in the game it's probably pretty nerfed, my guess is heal 1 instead of max HP.
chaostreader: shouldn’t it deal more? shouldn’t it deal 12? 1+1+1*2? or is wrath not doubling?
 Sorator13: @chaostreader Wrath in this version is just +1 damage, not x2
 Sorator13: \o/
ChargingFurret: Achievement Unlocked!
Chesul: yeah, Wrath is actually significantly better in this version, since most attacks are 1-2 damage, but you also don't take double damage, just a hit for 1 at the end of your turn if you're in Wrath.
 A_Dub888: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/ResilientPluckyWolverineNinjaGrumpy-3Y4HwKBk9iQzgoxp
 Sorator13: Ben's on a mission!
 definenull: *ding*
 lamina5432: does it unlock anything?
   LoadingReadyRun: Ya, a lot of the numbers have been scaled down in the board game (both Damage and Health) for ease of calculating
ChargingFurret: a sense of achievement
StrykerBoh: game music in the background is *chef's kiss*
   LoadingReadyRun: THe music is from the mobile companion app
StrykerBoh: nice
 SnackPak_: chunky
 Sorator13: @StrykerBoh Don't let Paul lie to you; he's playing the game with all non-music sounds muted and making sure to reach a boss whenever the boys do 
 Aceviru: lol
ChargingFurret: end step is how players decide
 the_semicolon: APNAP
Gooseblast: Clap
   LoadingReadyRun:  The Ironclad has so much block that he can't be vulnerable, even to his loved ones 
 Sorator13: @LoadingReadyRun It's very sad
 Sorator13: but at least he won't die?
 SnackPak_: yooo
 Sorator13: niiiiiice
 the_semicolon: who's the boss?
ChargingFurret: the bird
 Sorator13: bigbird
 DaFhaye: Bless
ChargingFurret: THE BOOT!
 tehfewl: the boot has arrived to save the game
 Transmuted_Elf: you get one more shop to remove another card if that helps the math
 Sorator13: I think there's a valid question whether to go for a second shop or fight an elite
 Sorator13: 
letsbelgo: poggifers, get the boot
ChargingFurret: wheeler is channeling his FNM character RN
   LoadingReadyRun: no longer Ironclad, now Blingclad
  Pywodwagon: run saved the boot is here
 Sorator13: goodbye wings
 A_Dub888: sorry, whose booty?
 Sorator13: oh, goodbye winged boots, hello normal boot
 saucemaster5000: Ben needed that card that, when poison kills, deals it to all other chars thing
crashco17: Corpse explosion?
 saucemaster5000: yeye
 lamina5432: the counting relics seem to now be dice rolls
 Sorator13: Worth noting that Ben's "activate another die relic" becomes significantly more versatile if you buy other die relics
 Dread_Pirate_Westley: Serge can't do math before 11 pm.
ChargingFurret: yeah, its really cool that mirror is getting better as we see more die relics
 Sorator13: 
 Sorator13: serge: I think we're off by one
 Sorator13: the others: I think you'll find that *you* are off by one
 mercano82: last rest stop, go pee even if you don’t need to
 Muddy_Thunder: @LoadingReadyRun would this be a good time for a break, or are they going to end stream after the boss?
 Dread_Pirate_Westley: One of the True Grits is actually False.
StrykerBoh: yasss
 Sorator13: 
Mashamino: Ca-caw!
 Larkonus: Awakened One, which transforms into Grumpy One, afflicted with [Wrong Side of the Bed]
 Sorator13: I assume that Curiosity only applies to the boss's attacks, not the cultists'?
 lamina5432: serge is deep in the tank
 corpocracy: They are weak, so it won't be too much damage
Days_one: When does urn to off?
 Kipstar: gottem
ChargingFurret: oh yeah! wheeler has a bird faced urn block

   LoadingReadyRun: @Kaaosa These are high level streaming athletes, butts of steel
LFTnPass: Veterans of their craft.
 TheMinionGM: Did we roll yet this turn?
ChargingFurret: not yet
ChargingFurret: serge is in neutral after empty mind
Nightmanflock: ^
ChargingFurret: if rush down wasn't once per turn, that was an infinite
   LoadingReadyRun:  It's like Kitchen Nightmare in here with all this Cooking
 tehfewl: shouldn't have shuffled burning, but i don't think it matters
Skye_Stryke: Do both Body Slams get doubled by vulnerable or just the one?
ChargingFurret: @Skye_Stryke it wasn't a 1 this turn, so it's only 1 slam, but only the first attack into vulnerable is doubled
Skye_Stryke: Oh wait nvm this was a 5 turn not 1
Skye_Stryke: @ChargingFurret Thank you for the answer though!
 Orxolon: can you do 16 he said,as his partner gasped
tehThane: Yall missed 2 damage, when ben hit it for 6 serge only did 4 damage

mysticsailboat: yeah canonically you dont slay until you beat act 4
ChargingFurret: does the bonus mind bloom boss count?
 mercano82: Does the bonus Giant Slime count?
 definenull: here comes the 'legacy' part
letsbelgo: new cards
ChargingFurret: you don't unlock colorless cards until you've finished unlocking a character
Days_one: Tactician exhausts hmm.
