It's a poetic Beardsley roll so insane that it not only makes Brennan quit, but it makes Beardsley wanna walk it back. Chaos Themself, who once asked for a "nat 20 to be alive again", who nat 20'd on the American Dream, on Null, as Liam, as Margaret... who jumped down several flights with only a ribbon dancer, who once rolled an Orange Hat in the Box of Doom, who recently asked if they still had on Wranglers... THIS was too far. THAT'S how mad it was!
"and she feels like something in that worked" *CORRECT*
"I've never had a battle episode have 'Adventuring Party' energy in it before" really foreshadowed the absolute insanity of this ending lmao.

@@EinDoseit only would have happened every time on a 0 for the first roll, or if the first is a 1 and the second is a 0-4 (50% chance). So 59.04% chance of hitting the first roll, 29.52% chance of the first roll being a 0, which I'll call P0, and 29.52% chance of it being a 1 which I'll call P1. So the odds are P0+½P1 = 0.2952+½*0.2952=44.28% chance of this divine intervention. If the rules were done differently (one/no help actions, only allowing 1-4 instead of 0-4): 36% chance of hitting the first roll in 2 (with no help actions), leading to 25.5% (or 23.8% with 1-4 as roll 2) 48.8% chance of hitting it in 3 (with 1 help action), meaning 36.6% (or 34.16% with 1-4 as roll 2) I'm surprised the lowest is 24%, which feels quite high
