So yes, on your last journey, you did a spectacular job getting through Briarcliffe Forest, and you found the gem of fire, which when broken will release a
Starting point is 00:01:55 fire elemental under your control that should prove invaluable whenever you finally encounter the sisters. So today, we have some very good information. I've sent my spies out, and they did some digging, and we found out a little bit about a doctor Akiva, which was one of the sisters mentioned in the prophecy. She was a member of the Magi Medical Community, but she was sort of ostracized for her sort of unethical practices, we might say.
Starting point is 00:02:21 So we were able to find a shipment that was being sent to her in her name, and one of our spies placed a locating beacon on it. We have a crystal that will glow as you get closer. We are now going to use that to try and go find it. It seems to be pointing to the harbor. So I have got a ship for you that will take you out to sea, and we assume she must have a laboratory somewhere out on a ship.
Starting point is 00:02:43 To that end, I've invited an old adventuring friend. He'd like to come in, please. So this is Seamus Siflanagan. He's spent almost all of his life at sea. As you are heading out to go, try to get some information on this Dr. Akiva, who was banished from the Magi medical community for her unethical practices. He should be able to help you,
Starting point is 00:03:02 as he has lots of knowledge about sea vessels and sea creatures. anything of that kind. Is someone who's never exactly been on a boat before? What about sea sickness? I've got tablets. Oh, good. Anti-nautia medication.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Oh, great. We'll have a conversation. We'll talk about it. Maybe. One thing to be aware of on this mission is that the stories that I've heard about Dr. Akiva are terrifying to listen to. And this is merely a fact-finding expedition.
Starting point is 00:03:31 Don't feel that you must engage her. Although if you do, please be very, very careful as the information that you could bring back to us is invaluable. Do you want us to spy? That is primarily what we're looking for, is what is she up to? We're great spies.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Why is this a problem? I'm so inconspicuous. They never hear us. Mr. Dangles here, we'll see how it goes. Dingle, Dingle, this is Veroce and Beryl, Annabella, and Ricky. Regis.
Starting point is 00:03:58 All right, as you know, you can receive a gift before you go from this shop as things here are not quite what they seem, Seamus. Would you like to explore the room and choose anything with a special price tag on it? Like a gift? A gift.
Starting point is 00:04:10 That I'm gonna use? Yes. All right. There's no right answer here, is there? None at all. Anything that looks interesting. Although the point is that none of it looks interesting. This.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Ah. Yes, please. Come sit. I'm gonna take, ah. Ram cane. Ram can. We have some experience with Ram. Ah, Ram cane.
Starting point is 00:04:34 As you hold this cane in your hand, you feel that you have perfect balance. And no matter what surface you walked across, you could not fall. That's right. All right, the rest of you, would you like to exchange, Vera, so you can find something new or? You know, I've walked around this place a few times,
Starting point is 00:04:55 and I'm gonna take this little picture frame. Fantastic. So I can see myself in the reflection, primarily first, hello, gorgeous. Well, here's something, as you look at yourself in the reflection, you see that it then transfers into the picture at the back so that you can look at a picture of yourself.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Oh gosh. Then, if you were to face it at Beryl, she would take on the likeness of the portrait. Now Beryl, to the rest of us, appears to look like Viros. They've created a monster. Wicked. Beryl, your turn. That was insane.
Starting point is 00:05:27 I know. I'll be getting over this for minutes. Do they both look like? So yes, at this point, you both look like Viros. How do you make it stop? Make it stop. Why would you want that to stop? This is the first time in my life.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Am I right? To make it stop, you're just going to rub out the picture frame, the reflection on the picture. Well, we'll do that later. Okay, good. So right now you look like mirrors. I'm okay with that. Oh, you're lovely.
Starting point is 00:05:49 It's a good looking man. Oh, thank you, BTB. But I know. I know exactly what I want. The thing that has most intrigued me. Ah, yes, the paper airplane. This one, if you were to send it down a passage, It would light the passage as it went,
Starting point is 00:06:05 but only you and your allies could see that light. Oh, that's fantastic. That's pretty cool. Annabella? She's on a mission. She knows. No! That's what I was going to take.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Well, it's mine. This thread is not only impossibly strong, but it also goes completely invisible once it is strong. Ooh. Oh, great. I've got many ideas. Some idea. Your turn, Ricky.
Starting point is 00:06:38 I'm going to go for this top hat. I've been eyeing it up the whole time. As you place this on your head, you feel that you can hear things from much farther away than you normally could. Stop breathing so hard the both of you. Shamos, would you like to tell them a little bit about yourself, what your capabilities are?
Starting point is 00:06:58 Yes, I would. So I'm a half elf, arcane trickster, rogue. Oh, well. Very helpful on a sneaky mission. Well, that means a lot to me. I have a hand, like an extra hand that's detached, I believe, and I can kind of use it to do things within 30 yards. 30 feet. That's the Irish for you.
Starting point is 00:07:22 The Irish. The Irish sharp. The metrics is a slightly different. And so I can like, you know, and it can be invisible or not. You were asking me a question about it, which I didn't know the answer to you, which is what... Does your hand absorb pain? Right. Your third hand.
Starting point is 00:07:36 If I have to go through like a fired up to the lock or something. Ah, it does not. It does not, no. It's the answer to that. Now, this is all well and good, but how many voyages have you been on? We only accept professionals here, clearly. One very long one. Have you fought any creatures in the water?
Starting point is 00:07:54 I, I have. Are Crackins real? I don't know. Yes. As I said, be very careful on this mission. Please bring back whatever information you can find about Dr. Akiva and what she is up to. and what she is up to. All right, adventures, please follow me.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Welcome. Sure, go. Take your places, please. A hall. So you have a submarine. Yes. All right, so you guys head down to the docks and you get on this old ship
Starting point is 00:09:09 and they've hired a man named Captain Harlem who's gonna take you out on the, to find him. He's holding this crystal that glows and goes out and then glows and goes out and then glows and goes. out and the idea is that once it's glowing steadily, you're close to the other crystal. So he takes you out, and it takes quite a while, you're out for a few hours,
Starting point is 00:09:26 and he seems to be getting more and more frustrated, but he's looking at it and it's glowing solid. Suddenly he stops, and he goes, oh no, and he looks down. Says, I'm afraid she might be beneath us. Okay. Does that mean we have to go under the water? I think you may. Where the crackens are?
Starting point is 00:09:47 Could I get one of those tablets? Yeah, give them a tablet. I just don't have the same pep in my step as I normally would. Oh, Ricky's fragile. Oh. Right, I'm gonna give you two. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Because you don't look great. Should I call you in the morning? Ricky, as you take those, you actually genuinely feel your stamina get a little better, and you have advantage on Constitution saving for us. Ooh. See sickness for the win. I also can't breathe.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Can't breathe underwater. May I have a tablet, please? This is a C-sickness. This is for C-signis. Great, can I have a tablet so I don't vomit. You want a tablet too? Please. So yes, you also now have advantage
Starting point is 00:10:29 on Constitution saving for us. Thank you. I do have a few potions of water breathing, but the ingredients are very expensive, so I'll look through my stores and see what I can do, but is there anything that comes to mind? Well, I can help you breathe underwater. Isn't that right?
Starting point is 00:10:46 I can. Oh. Is it a spell? It's a scroll. It's a scroll. You read the scroll and it disintegrates. It's only a one use. But for you and your allies, you can breathe for.
Starting point is 00:10:55 For me and four others, right? Five of us. Five together, I think. It's for one hour. Yes. Oh, not bad. So there's a time limit. Captain Harlan, he says,
Starting point is 00:11:04 well, that's as good an idea as we're gonna get. He takes you to the after the vote where he's got sandbags that are attached by ropes. He says, these'll weigh you down. Oh, dear. This seems like a terrible idea. Yes. Let's tie up first and get ready,
Starting point is 00:11:19 and then cast the spell to give us the maximum amount of time. Shire is no other way. We're going. We're just gonna jump in here. Are you chicken? With sandbags attached. Did you just call me chicken little man? Don't tempt the half-awk little man.
Starting point is 00:11:32 I called someone a chicken over there. Was it you? You're about the size of a chicken. Oh, that was called like a slam. I would like to give you Barrel-Bardick inspiration before we do the, the, jump in the water. Do you sing me a little song to calm my nerves?
Starting point is 00:11:50 I do. And it goes a little something like this. You're gonna be great and you're gonna be fine. Hold your breath just like a dime. Put your feet together and dive on in. The bag will wear you down, but you're not gonna sink. That was great. There's a way to get that captured
Starting point is 00:12:08 where I could play it anywhere. No. No. I feel better. And a storm is coming, so I'll probably head back to shore. And leave us here. However, I've got the gem, so either stay with the ship, or find the gem, so I can get back to you. What? You're leaving.
Starting point is 00:12:26 If I stay, there'll be no ship to come back to. We only have an hour. Only an hour of breathing. You're taking the gem. You're taking the crystal that glows. Greetings, adventurers. Spring has sprung here in Los Angeles, and that means it's a brief period where it's only 75 degrees instead of 95 degrees. I'll take it.
Starting point is 00:12:45 And that means I've been outside a lot more. Walking around, occasionally galloping after a toddler hopped up on juice boxes, traveling a bit. You know the vibe. And after doing some spring cleaning, my wardrobe, I gotta say, looking a little bit sad. I want clothes that can keep up with me and my son, but updating my wardrobe every spring sounds pretty expensive. So that's why I wound up signing up for Fabletics as a VIP. It let me overhaul my springtime outfits without obliterating my bank account.
Starting point is 00:13:13 New VIPs unlock major savings on that first purchase, so trying new fits feels way more doable. When I signed up as a new VIP with Fabletics, I got 70 to 80% off everything. It made it easy to grab a few new pieces without overthinking it. And the quality really surprised me. Everything feels premium and soft and breathable, but you're not paying those premium prices. What I like most, though, is how versatile everything is. You've got stuff you can work out in, but also wear out. There's matching sets, lightweight hoodies, joggers, teas, you name it.
Starting point is 00:13:45 The kind of stuff you can throw on in the morning and not worry about later. When I'm at home, my favorite thing to pull on is the oversized hoodie. It's so comfy I could just live in it 24-7. It's perfect for walking my dog on like a chilly night. But when I'm out and about, I've really been loving the ribbed Johnny Collar polo. It makes me look like I should be taking a high-powered meeting by the pool at the White Lotus, but hopefully with less murder involved. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:08 It's insanely comfortable. I highly recommend it. So shop now at fabletics.com slash critical role to get 70 to 80% off everything when you sign up as a new VIP. Take a quick style quiz and be sure to select critical role when prompted to unlock your 70 to 80% off. This is a limited time offer, so don't wait. Again, that's fabletics.com slash critical roll for 70 to 80% off everything as a new VIP. And now, on to the show. Greetings, Adventures.
Starting point is 00:14:38 lately I've been getting a bit more intentional about what I wear from day to day because instead of just falling out of whatever laundry baskets nearby, I've been leaning into pieces that feel easy and comfortable, but still put together because it just makes getting dressed simpler when I have a plan. Quince has been my go-to to help with that, because the fabrics feel elevated, the fits are clean, and everything just works without me needing to overthink it. And Quintz has all the wardrobe staples you need for spring.
Starting point is 00:15:06 think 100% European linen shorts and shirts from just $34. They're lightweight, they're breathable, they're comfortable, your legs, and torso will thank you, and you will still look put together. And clean 100% Pima Cotton Tees with a softness, well, you've got to feel that to believe it, believe you me. Their pants also hit that same balance. They're relaxed, they're comfortable, but still polished enough to wear basically anywhere. And everything's priced between 50 and 80% less than what you'd find at similar brands. Quince works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middlemen so you're getting premium materials without the markup.
Starting point is 00:15:41 And since spring is here in Los Angeles, a brief period where it's 75 degrees instead of 95 degrees, I spruced up my wardrobe with a pair of the comfort stretch traveler five pocket pants and the heritage washed denim shirt. Not only do they feel great, but I unequivocally look good as hell while wearing them. That's just science. So refresh your every day with luxury you'll actually use.

Starting point is 00:16:23 The crystal that glows when I get near the other crystals so you'll find you again. Okay. If I die, so help me God, Captain Harmon. I will hope to to you for the rest of your day.
Starting point is 00:16:35 God. The tablet. I'm just gonna say this, Captain Harlow. You better hope we die, because unlike him, if we don't, and you leave us. Oh, Professor Roundland will have my balls, I promise. Ball. All right, so he lines you up literally against the edge of this boat
Starting point is 00:16:54 and starts throwing roped sandbags over your shoulder and you feel the weight, especially. Poor little Ricky. It's as big as he as he as he can barely stand up All of your bottles kind of jangle as he does it, and you look down out into the, there's no land in sight, just an expanse of ocean. You look down into the dark depths.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Why do you crackens have to be real? I smack Barrow on the back and she goes in first. Barrow, the water, a huge splash. I jump right after her. Did you cast the spell? I cast it. She cast it out right. Oh my God, we cast it.
Starting point is 00:17:29 With this scroll, it's magic, and you can all breathe for one hour. With me. and you try to hold your breath and suddenly water rushes into your lungs and for a second it feels like you're going to die and then something about it feels like your lungs can take oxygen out of the water like a gill inside of your body and it's really strange and a little freaky but you're cool and you start to sink the rest of you jump in yeah oh okay yeah we're holding hands all right holding hands the two of you leap in and splash Same happens for you, this kind of moment of panic, until then it seems that your lungs are able to handle the water. And I just checked to make sure that Chile has worked. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:14 And now I'm coming in. Followed soon after by Seamus. Who did you do was do to do a dive, a belly flocked cannibal. Beautiful swan dive. Gorgeous. So you are the only one who has an actual swimming speed. You can swim up to the 30 feet that you have. Everyone else, your speed is halved while you were in the water.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Okay. No. You start to sink. The first sort of six seconds you're going down, you can still sort of see the hull of the ship and the light up above. The next six seconds things are starting to get grayer and darker.
Starting point is 00:18:45 And suddenly, Ricky, our most perceptive, you see a dark shape coming towards you on the horizon with a large fin. No, no, no, no, no. I don't know what to do. You can cast spells that are verbal components, but if it requires hearing, that's not gonna work. Got it, okay.
Starting point is 00:19:03 And we can talk? Well, to each other under the water? At this point, no. Oh, wow, we can't. At this point, you're gonna have to find some other way to communicate. Okay. You can still see each other.
Starting point is 00:19:11 There's enough filtered light. It's obscured, but you can see each other. I'm going to see that and sort of panic a little bit and reach into a pouch and pull out. It's like a little packet. Okay. And I snap it and it's like one of those Fourth of July like poppers type of thing.
Starting point is 00:19:27 And so it snaps and it creates this sonar like, wah. I'm doing minor illusion. Okay, okay. Yeah, so just to scare it away. Anything that comes near away. All right, so this happens, and all of you feel it too.
Starting point is 00:19:41 There's a little like the water rushes a little bit, you feel a little current. You do see this large shape. As it hits it, it does turn, but it's still coming your direction, it's just coming around the outside. By now the rest of you have seen it. Is there anything you would like to do?
Starting point is 00:19:56 I'm gonna start swimming down. You're swimming down faster, okay? I'm ready with both hand axes, just in case. Okay. Definitely in battle. So, Viros continues to sink, but he pulls out his hand axes. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Just ready to strike. Can I put it to sleep? You want to try and do that? I would like to try and just put it to bed. All right, go ahead and cast your sleep, so I'll roll your 5D8. A 5D8. 5.8. All right, get a lullaby.
Starting point is 00:20:19 All right, 8, 5, 1. 14. And two more. Yeah. Oh, excuse me. Seven and four. So 18 and another seven, so 25. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Unfortunately, that does not put it to sleep. Put it to sleep. How big is it? This is quite large. I mean, you're looking like 15, 20 feet. At this point, it does start to turn towards you as you were thinking the most movement. With your, oh no, I'm sorry, Ricky,
Starting point is 00:20:49 Ricky was making, you were swimming, you're doing that. It starts to come towards you. Let's roll initiative, ladies and gentlemen. Yes. One or the disadvantage. It's a virus 21? Yes, mine is just plus two. Barrel?
Starting point is 00:21:01 15. 15 for barrel, six. Six for Annabella. 19. Oh, very nice, 19 for Ricky. I'm pretty pennant. I wink at you. 10.
Starting point is 00:21:11 10 for Seamus. Oh, Lord. All right, Viros, you were first. You see this large shark as it starts to swim down and it's starting to catch up with Ricky. I swim as fast as I can. Okay, so you're gonna, you're gonna do your 15 feet of movement. As close, actually let's go ahead and bring out a board for this.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Nice. You guys place your items on the board about in the way you think you fell in. Now in terms of vertical distance, I'll help you guys try to keep track of that. Okay. Yeah, I have my thing on the last. So we're, in your mind, what's happening?
Starting point is 00:21:50 Is this the ocean floor? I'm swimming towards. So no, this is just ocean. So the idea being that like the ship was up here and you jumped over the side and was starting to sink. So you were probably in some kind of a line. is my guess. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:03 So you pushed Beryl in, so we're gonna say that you were like that probably. Yeah. Does that feel good? And then am I swimming and that's how it passed? You are like 10 feet below everyone else. Okay. Because you started, because you're 25, right?
Starting point is 00:22:15 Yeah, but half that. Yeah, so 10, so you're about 10 feet below everybody else. Here is your shark. Okay. Oh, that's a big. It's a shark. Does he fairing notical? Oh, it's a shark.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Oh, it's a shark. It's a shark. Okay. In case you didn't know. He's starting to close in. You come forward, 15 feet. Okay, and that's about. So for the intents and purposes of this,
Starting point is 00:22:41 the vertical and horizontal is the same because you can go diagonally. So essentially, you're all kind of on the same level except for Ricky, who's gonna be a little bit below. Okay. All right, so that's as close as you can get at that point. I'm just swimming towards and trying to be as ready as possible within my range.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Okay. Ricky, you are next. Yeah. You can feel it. bearing down on you. Okay. Hi-ha. Again, I'm panicking, so I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.
Starting point is 00:23:09 But if you were to look at Ricky, you could see that his items and his cloak and hat and everything like that start sort of like melting. And it's weird because it seems to be like being absorbed into his skin. And he's shrinking even smaller and turning green. And I'm wild shaping into a frog. Fantastic. like water-based thing I can do. So I guess I fall out of the rope that's holding
Starting point is 00:23:36 like the sandbags and stuff like that, because that doesn't shape with me. Yeah, that'll fall. But my equipment does. Got it. So now I'm just a frog. So as this shark starts to bear down and Viros comes close with his axes drawn,
Starting point is 00:23:48 you see Ricky melt into this tiny little frog shape. As that happens, anything else you want to do? And then I'll swim. You're gonna continue to swimming down. What's your speed as a frog? That is a good question. I think it's still 25. Okay, so another 10 feet.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Yeah. Oh, no, no, but you'll have a swim speed. I will, yeah. So yeah, so Ricky, you see him turn into a little frog, and not only that, he like darts into the darkness of the depths. At this point, the shark goes, where the hell did that guy go? But this guy's making a lot of noise, and he spins around and starts to come by,
Starting point is 00:24:19 and he's going to attempt to bite Viroz. Its mouth opens wide, and I have a 17, I was it. So this stupid, The shark comes right at me. It chubs and I just go, f-h-h-h-h-h-h-ha-ha-ha. With my shield, and then it swims a little bit by and go, Pah-ha-ha-ha-ha. Yes, as that's happening comes by, you're laughing.
Starting point is 00:24:43 It does, it gets like a little, it tries to fight at you, but the shield gets in its way of its teeth, and it kind of continues on its way, is going to not go out of your range totally, but it's going to keep passing. All right, up next is Beryl. Okay. Have an idea. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:00 But I need your help. You want some of this? Yeah. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, like, I'm gonna motion to her and be like, and I'm like, God, girl. You can't toss me to thread?
Starting point is 00:25:13 But I'm holding some of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because we're gonna like. We're gonna make a harpoon. Let's do that. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so you have my thread. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:22 I have it, I have. So you, you've passed it along, and you're holding the other end. I'm holding the other end. Gotcha. And then I'm gonna take my jab. we're gonna like try to tangle this thing up. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Yeah. So I take the other end of her thread, attach it to one of my lawn darts, like one of my javelins. I'm gonna try to like stab it. Or I guess I could throw it. No, yeah, let's throw it. Well, I think it's gonna count your turn,
Starting point is 00:25:47 I think, to do this maneuver of tying it, but on your next turn, you have a harpoon. You have an attached harpoon. Yeah, let's do that then. Okay, so as the shark veers past Viroz, Barrel reaches out in Annabelle and her get to do to tying this intricate knot that attaches onto the end of her harpoon. It is Seamus, your turn.
Starting point is 00:26:04 The shark is now appearing to come towards you. Now, what about my booming blade underwater? Yeah, I mean, you can certainly cast it. Now, I happen to know that if you get it right in between the eyes on the nose there, you might stun it enough. Yes? Yes. I'm guessing we don't have 20 minutes.
Starting point is 00:26:22 We don't have 20 minutes. I'm thinking if I get the rest of nausea pills, because you get drowsy, you know. But you could swim up and punch it. I could swim up, swim up, but I would use the booming blade, will I not? So you see Seamus, he seems sort of utter a couple of words and as he draws his weapon,
Starting point is 00:26:43 and you'll have to swim forward to be in melee distance of it, here. Five feet, I think, for your rapier. So as it swims past Virus, Seamus, swims right up to the edge of the shark. Nice technique. His blade starts to glow a little bit. You're gonna roll a D-20 and add your attack bonus.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Nine. Plus seven. Right. So 16, he hits. Yeah. So now let's roll your damage on that, so that's next to it. Plus four.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Yep. Eight. 12. So booming blade gets an extra 1D8. Oh, good, an 8. I got the best one. Yeah. You did.
Starting point is 00:27:20 So that's 12. One more time because of your spell. So roll another D8 because of your spell. Four. Another 4. So 16 total damage. Ooh. So he swims forward almost without any fear.
Starting point is 00:27:29 The blade, the blade, like glows a little bit in the dark and he stabs it right between the eyes. As that happens, again, you hear like a ripple effect and even the shark seems to kind of back up a little bit as that happens. Fantastic, he took your damage. Anything else you'd like to do? I think you probably have a bonus action if you want. After an attack, if I disengage and then it comes after me, it suffers more damage. If it moves after that, which is very good because sharks have to move. So it's going to take essentially damage every time on his turn. So I want to do that then? Yes.
Starting point is 00:28:00 So then once I see that it's hit, I very quickly retreat, directly backwards. You do a little. I do the backwards butterfly. His coat's trailing out next to him as he does it. Great. All right, so he's gonna go back 15. I have regular speed. You have regular speed because you're a swimmer,
Starting point is 00:28:20 so you know how to do that. All right, thank you, Seamus. At this point you see another small shape on the horizon, smaller than this one starting to come towards you. Annabella, your turn. Okay, so I make a minor illusion spell so that this shark sees a school of flounder, like about a thousand flounder,
Starting point is 00:28:41 and they're all moving together, and they look super juicy, like a bunch of cheeseburgers, and the shark is like, it's lunchtime, okay? That's what I'd like to do. Okay. Where do you want that illusion to exist? So, if I could confer with you underwater, Should we make the illusion be where your knife is
Starting point is 00:29:01 so that it bites the knife? Oh, good idea. This is also risky because if the shark comes in between, then the shark could maybe bite one of us. We're on the phone. You guys, you spent a lot of time during sign language and lapses. We're going, here we go.
Starting point is 00:29:23 It's gonna, the school of fish is gonna be directly on our thread. where her weapon is. Yeah, because we're very close to you. I see, so the way you've set this up is you're each holding the end of the thread and the harpoon is dangled in the middle. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:36 And that's where the school of fish is. And you want to make a school fish image around the harpoon? Yeah. Okay. And then we're going to... But like, I just want to be clear. Gotcha.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Like, we're here. School of fish is here. But the school of fish is vertical. Right? It's a vertical. Like a horizontal. Gotcha. So do you guys, like, let's say you separate yourselves
Starting point is 00:29:55 out a little bit. Yeah. at least five, ten feet between you. Yeah, blade's going. Blade is going. Okay. Do you imagine it like spinning on the string? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Cool. Like a torn- You're making a buzz saw. A buzz saw. Yeah. All right, well we're gonna figure out how we're gonna handle this. It's gonna be great.
Starting point is 00:30:11 This is a little funny. You will heal us. I'm a frog. He's a frog and he's gone. Ricky abandoned you. I'm still looking for frog Ricky. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:30:24 You don't need to roll. That's an illusion. It just worked. Yes. So that's an amazing thing? Does it bite the sword? Well, on its turn, we'll see what it does. Great.
Starting point is 00:30:32 But you did. I mean, you made the tastiest looking flounder. Like they're, like, fat, luscious, and they're even like agitated. They're like spinning their tails and winning, so it's like all this like movement in the water. Melted cheese on top. Oh, totally. A little paprika. A squeezed lemon.
Starting point is 00:30:47 Okay, great. Okay. That's Anna. We're back up to Vera. I turn around looking for frog Ricky. And I'm like, woo, woo, woo, and I'm thinking to my, well he can frog handle himself so I turn it back around to assist with this illusion. So I swim back because this this shark has passed me It's still within five feet. It's within five feet. It's within melee feet. So I'm behind it with my axes, but I'm definitely ready to swim back towards at least one side the closer side would be
Starting point is 00:31:15 Annabella I believe to assist in case this illusion goes awry I'm there to with you know to just stab it up and out. You're readying yourself again Readying myself again. You're going to use your re- basically once the... It's time to bring on the blooms at the Home Depot with Spring Garden Deals. Find savings on hanging baskets and flowers

Starting point is 00:31:55 slash price match for details. You said this place was steps from the water. We just haven't found the steps yet. How much did we save? Enough. Enough to get lost. Or you could book a stay with Hilton. Welcome to your ocean front room.
Starting point is 00:32:13 Just steps from the water. The Hilton sale is on now. Book on Hilton.com or the Hilton app and save up to 20% to get the stay you expected. When you want savings, not surprises. It matters where you stay. Hilton for this day. The shark goes after the fish,
Starting point is 00:32:30 or if it goes after either of them. If, if it goes after either of them, you're gonna use your reaction to attack. Absolutely. Gotcha. Ricky, you've gone down another, so you are now probably 40 feet or so below the others. I imagine your swim speed as a frog might be another 20.
Starting point is 00:32:44 Yeah, it's 20 swimming. So yeah, so you're 30 feet. Yeah, so from here I will exit wild shape and look up and sort of assess the situation of what's happening. Okay, so yes, you look up, you do see this, school of flounder with a spear in the center of it and the shark you see the blood of the shark
Starting point is 00:33:01 and it's starting to turn. Another thing that you noticed is that another probably 60 to 90 feet, you see some lights. Ooh. I'll go towards the lights. You're going to go towards the lights. You spend your turn to see if we can get help. Okay. So the shark swings around and actually you can see a little glint in its eye like it's excited for this big school of fish and it goes and it chomps down and as it does, the harpoon pierces right up through the side of its mouth. It starts to thrash around. At this point, your image is getting all kind of distorted
Starting point is 00:33:33 by its fin and everything as it squirms around. But is he captured because they are the string? Yes, you've got the string. Can we keep going like this to saw through its face? Oh, God. This is incredibly strong. Because it's long, and we've been really revving it up. We're trying to eat good tonight.
Starting point is 00:33:50 You know what I'm saying? Yes. All right, ladies. Just like right through the middle. Your damage. And then every time the shark moves, it's even cutting it deeper. I see, so you want to swim
Starting point is 00:34:00 laterally with it and pull it like those sand videos. Right, right. All right. So I would say on Anna and Beryl's turns to do that, you can assist each other and you'll make strength checks to see if you can pull it through its flesh. We can do this.
Starting point is 00:34:19 That'll be the plan. We're gonna saw the shark and have I'm also going to say it's somewhat restrained, so it won't be able to move in this kind of section here beyond this area. Now, when it's shifted around, for your booming blade, does it move away? It's just any movement, right?
Starting point is 00:34:37 It takes 2D8 thunder damage. Fantastic. So go ahead and roll 2D8s. So as you've swam back. Six and a two. As the shark comes past Viro, said you came up and you did your attack, your attack and then she cast her spell and it turned and started to go through. As it came over to try and chomp on this thing, another of these ripples under the water kind of blast out.
Starting point is 00:35:01 And you see the shark this time, it really is shaking its head and everything. Its whole body seems to be kind of shuddering with the effect of that. So Beryl, it is your turn. This is quite a plan. This is a good room. I'm going to be able to grow you. And Barrel flexes her amazing and grabbing the other end of the, of this cable here.
Starting point is 00:35:26 He's starting to swim in that direction. Tries the saw starting at the mouth. All right. PAS. Baby, shock, chalk, chock. So make a strength check. Okay. To see if you're able to pull it through shark plush.
Starting point is 00:35:43 I don't think they have to. Shark flesh, you know. I think you can assist me. Yes. Yes, you can assist. That would be your turn then when it comes down to your turn. But yes, we can add your strength modifier to race.
Starting point is 00:35:53 Yes. And which one am I rolling? No, you won't roll. We're just gonna add your modifier. It's yours. Plus one. So plus one. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Make me a necklace. Awesome. I'll make the necklace. I'll make the necklace. I'll make the necklace. I would be so happy to wear that. Sister necklace. They could be like best friend.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Can they fit together? Like I'll take the top row. It starts to slash. It starts to slash back and forth. Oh. 14 plus 8, 22. Ooh, wow. Wow, yeah, so Beryl, it's like,
Starting point is 00:36:27 their huge, like, muscular legs give this kind of kick, and you dart forward, and yes, in its jaw, like the Joker, you start to pull the thread through, I would say, a good, like, foot of its body. Let's do some, I don't even know, I guess that's, like, slashing damage. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:49 Mutilating this shark. It's a garret liar. And I'll give you two of them because it'll be happening on either side of its face. So that is two eights on G8. So that's 16 damage on that. All right.
Starting point is 00:37:03 This is a great idea. Yes. So as you pull through and his flesh starts to open and you get back to just about where the gills are and blood is just pouring out. And in fact that harpoon that was stuck up in its face is also kind of pulled back with you.
Starting point is 00:37:18 so it's starting to come back through its body down its throat. Great, barrel. Shamis, what would you like to do? It's still going this thing. It's still going. I'd like to go and hit it again. Fantastic, and Booming Blade lasts for a minute, so I think it's still going.
Starting point is 00:37:33 The spell ends when the effect is triggered. Okay, great, so that's booming blade. Okay, great, but it's a cantrip, so I guess you can do it as often as you want. So there you go. All right, so casting Blooming Blame Blame? Now, do I want to go to the same place, or should we, we've,
Starting point is 00:37:48 The face has a lot of damage at this point. What's going on in the face? So what about under here? Ooh. Okay, so you're gonna swim down? I'm gonna swim down a little bit. Amazing. Seamus, you see his blade light up again a little bit
Starting point is 00:38:00 and he swims down beneath the vulnerable underbelly of the shark and then swims up as fast as he can. Roll a D20. Put me down there. Put you down. Line me down under him like that. Like that's right. There you go.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Definitely not being eaten. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Well, that's what that kind of looks like. A D20 and add looks like seven, I think? Seven. Seven.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Yeah, 14. 14 will hit. Oh, yes. So you're gonna get your regular slashing damage from your rapier. One, five total. Oh, just five. Did you roll a D8 or you do roll out?
Starting point is 00:38:35 Yeah, one. Okay, so one on there plus the four is five. All right, but now roll it again for your booming blade. Six. Six, all right. Oh yeah. And then you're gonna shimmy back again? Just like that.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Just like that. He shimmies out of the way. You can even shimmie down. I would shimmy down. You would shimmy straight down. All right, so you shimmied straight down. And you can. There's a weird frog.
Starting point is 00:38:56 Oh no, there isn't it. You can see him. He's long gone. All right, so that is Seamus' turn. A frog with the top hat. This guy is starting to get closer. He's coming in from this direction. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:39:08 He's going to swim up as he gets closer and try to take a bite out of Viros. Attracted by all of this blood. All right, Veros. Ooh, that's a nice one. Uh-oh. That will be a 25 to bite you. You are going to take my damage.
Starting point is 00:39:26 That is eight plus four. You take 12 piercing damage off of this bite. So it comes over and as you're sort of distracted by all this stuff that's going on, it gets right at your leg and chomps down hard. You feel the teeth digging into your calf. All right, Anna. Okay, well, I'm not having that.
Starting point is 00:39:45 So I immediately look at Viros and I do a healing word. Okay. Spell because we need him to fight both the sharks. Okay. So you used your action to help her. That's what I was looking. It depends on where you have it. Because it's not.
Starting point is 00:40:01 I believe it is actually. Yeah, I think it is. The healing word is a bonus action. You can absolutely do healing word. I'm so sorry. Okay. But are we counting it as it has to be heard to be effective?
Starting point is 00:40:09 That's the question. Yes. Okay. So unfortunately, you can't hear you because you're under water. That's cool. I keep sighing. Okay, see that's what you're doing. You're just seeing sawing.
Starting point is 00:40:17 You're focused on that. And I'm talking trash. That is Anafella's turn. Back up to Viros, you just got bit. I wanted to assist, but I also have very high confidence in what you're doing. So since my calf is bleeding, now I'm pissed off. All right.
Starting point is 00:40:31 I take my hand axes, both of them, and I go straight down onto the skull. Both of them. So you have a shield in one arm. Oh, one. So one. All right, great. Just, I'd only need one.
Starting point is 00:40:47 And wind up. And I just write in between the hammerhead. Roll a D20. That's a nine. Plus. Plus six. 15? Yes.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Yeah, you totally hit it. So just, and then of course I laugh. Ha ha ha ha. Okay, we're gonna count that's your bonus action. Your laugh is like, it takes extra effort. No. Oh, good. But I have two attacks, as you know.
Starting point is 00:41:15 I use you do. Yeah, throw that out that. So I'd like to do it again. All right. With the other one. So you actually ratcheted up out of its flesh and come back. And just slam down again.
Starting point is 00:41:26 Go for it. 14 plus six. Well, that's a dirty what. New problem though. So these attacks have disadvantage underwater without a swimming speed. So he doesn't have disadvantage because he has a swimming speed.
Starting point is 00:41:41 So, that's OK. Those are your first two attacks. You still hit. So first one still hits. First one still hits. Let's roll a second attack with disadvantage. That was not gonna hit. That's okay, the first one totally hits.
Starting point is 00:41:56 However, I have an extra time. So I do my action surge. When you push yourself beyond your reasonable limits, which I have a reputation of doing so, and succeeding I might have with disadvantage, I go again. Fantastic, go for it. This time it's a crit and a 10.
Starting point is 00:42:16 So the 10 plus 6. Oh, so 16. Still gonna hit! Oh! I just wanted to point out that rolled another 20. Sure, sure. That's right, your action search here. Action serves it twice!
Starting point is 00:42:25 We're gonna, yeah, we gotta, like, write that down. Yes. Very important. Oh, 10 and 2. So the 2 plus your 6, yeah, that's not gonna hit. However, still, great. Two out of four. Two out of four.
Starting point is 00:42:37 Ain't bad. Ain't bad. Alright, so rolling. Rolling. Alright, so 1. So it's 7. 1 plus 7 on the first one? Sorry, I'm at the first one.
Starting point is 00:42:46 The first one, what about the next one? But I'm still very confident with it. I'm like, yeah, so seven, you're hurt. Two plus six, eight. Eight on that one, nice. Not as much as I wanted, but. But two very sexy hits. They were very, I mean, everyone was just like,
Starting point is 00:43:00 wow, look at all the confidence with you. And there is, there's just like, again, blood. This is just like a big red mush of stuff and you're all sort of still sinking through it. I'm still grinning through this whole process. I will also say you're quite preoccupied, but at this point, the rest of you can start to make out these little lights down
Starting point is 00:43:16 in the depths of the ocean. at this point. All right, Ricky, you are gonna take another, so this time now, now you- This is dangerous, but look at these pretty lights. You've made it down to this ship, and what you see is it is this long oblong shape, and then there's like a tube that runs up around
Starting point is 00:43:33 into the front with a light on the end of it and a big sort of bulbous window at the front. There's a little sort of, it also looks like a fish fin at the back that's swinging back and forth like a rudder and a little propeller. Okay, I wanna aim towards the, it's like a porousalice. Right?
Starting point is 00:43:48 Yes. Yeah, I want to aim towards that window. That front portal? And just try to... Boom! Onto it. So you swim your way to get yourself right in front, hoping that the momentum of the thing will kind of run into you.
Starting point is 00:43:59 And it's a fairly large porthole. And yeah, it's sort of, you kind of gently slam into it, but you see that there are these enough kind of bolt that you can kind of hold on to one and just kind of hold on there. I want to get attention. Oh, you want to get attention, so you start banging on it. As you're looking in through this window, you can see that it's kind of like a chamber room. a chamber room, there's a beautiful ornate bed, a gorgeous wooden desk, there's a safe.
Starting point is 00:44:22 In the center of the room, there's this kind of cage. As you start banging on the window, you don't see any people. However, you do see a couple of reptilian heads kind of poke up at the back and try to look around the cage. It's way deep in there, so it's kind of hard to see what they are. They're hidden behind this cage. And they're not in the cage, they're behind the cage. They're behind the cage, looking around it,
Starting point is 00:44:44 trying to see where that sound came from. Okay, I'll continue to pound. All right, he's just continuing to pound. All right, back up to my giant shock. He doesn't like the feeling of this. What's my intelligence? It's gotta be nothing, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:57 He's gonna thrash back and forth, and I think he can only go forward. He's a shark, so he's gonna try and get out of it, so he's gonna swim forward. Oh, probably- Stupid shark. What a dumb shark. Giving himself a little bit more damage.
Starting point is 00:45:12 Let me see with my strength. Look at the shock not being able to go back. Okay, so yeah, he tries to kind of pull forward, but he's weakening now with all of this, and he's unable to kind of push forward, so unfortunately it does not go any further. Does that trigger, booming blade?
Starting point is 00:45:27 It does trigger booming blades, so roll 2D8, please. Seven. A seven, and? And again, a three. A three, so ten. As that happens again, his whole body sort of shutters and the water is kind of bound out again.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Yeah, this is a herton shark right now, Beryl. All right, I'm gonna try to put this. I try to put this thing out of its misery. I feel fine of it. I grab my end of the thread I'm holding and sort of try to like get up on top of it. And grab the other end from Anna and just try to like pull back.
Starting point is 00:46:04 To write it? Yeah. Like your feet are on the back of it. Yeah, yeah, but also just to just strip, just kill it. Yeah. Okay, so it's in its mouth, so it won't go around its neck.
Starting point is 00:46:15 It also doesn't breathe. But it's in here. So you're gonna get like the top doll. Yeah, yeah. Okay. So yeah, you swim around to the top of the shark. You grab that other thing there and you're gonna do a strength chest. Yeah, strength check to try to kind of pull it through.
Starting point is 00:46:32 All right, let's see. Like through his brain. Yeah. Yeah. Through its shark brain. 18 plus 7, 25. Oh my. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:41 Goodbye shark. Roll me, yeah, 2D8 slashing damage. Okay. Seven of the five. Seven to five. So 12. 12. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:53 Boy. So Barrel, as Seamus is sort of squeezing, you know, sort of slowing down and Viros whips around and he's hacking into the head of the other shark, Beryl swims up over the top, holding onto the dorsal fin. She grabs the other end from Annabella, wraps it around, and starts to pull in opposite directions. It pulls upward through its jaws. It stops at about the eye line. This shark is in no good shape.
Starting point is 00:47:18 at all, but it is still barely hanging in there. Its rain is yet to be severed. I'm going. I'm going to go again. I'm going to go again. Backs up, swims back up, booming blade, I assume. Yeah. Great, roll a D20.
Starting point is 00:47:36 19. Yeah. High math. Plus seven. Yeah, high math. So roll your damage, roll a D8 for your first and the D8 for your second. Only a one, the first time, one plus four.
Starting point is 00:47:48 Yeah. You can roll in both if you'd like at the same. times? A five. A five plus four, so nine. With that... A ten total. Ten total. So with that, Seamus swims back up again, Blade. He goes straight up through the center, aiding you, pushing everything through to the top, and the whole top half of that shark's jaw separates. Wow. And the body begins to upend and sink to the bottom of the ocean. I keep the part that I sliced off. Okay. And I like Presented to Anavella, like really proud of our work.
Starting point is 00:48:24 She's like this big severed shark. She's on skates, she's like, mm. Meanwhile, this shark is gonna come around and try to bite Viros again. This is gonna put it under my arm for you. But now I have advantage because you're bleeding. Maybe not. Yeah, 16 is not gonna do it. So he comes around, he tries to nip at you again, but now you've got his number. Now I've golden pegged.
Starting point is 00:48:47 Yeah, you know how it goes. All right, Anna. Okay, great. I just wanna go down to the lights. Like I'm looking at Ricky and I'm like, I'm over this, so I wanna kinda start swimming down to the light. Okay, yes, you can use your movements. So you can go 15 feet, you can add 15 feet,
Starting point is 00:49:00 which gives you the full 30. Yeah. So yeah, so you get down, that makes you on the like level of the ship, of the vessel. Okay, cool. So you're on the same level as that. Okay, we will come back to you. Okay, goodbye.
Starting point is 00:49:12 Wonderful. Uh, Beiros. Oh, I'm going to kill him. Good luck. In case you are wondering. I have faith. So I'm at disadvantage. Yes, you are.
Starting point is 00:49:21 But every attack is multiple attack. Okay, so that's a five and three. That's not gonna hit. Try again. I'm gonna try again. All right, so it's a 20 and 11. So the 11 plus six, that will hit. Plus six.
Starting point is 00:49:36 That will definitely hit. That's a hit. That's a first one, too much resistance. Up its second one. Still injured, you know, just bear with me. One out of two. I'm at 50% still, in case you're all wondering. So that's a two plus six.
Starting point is 00:49:48 A two plus six, all right. So eight on that. Ricky. So when I was looking inside, does it look like it was full of water or does it look like? No, it looks like there's air inside. Okay. It's an open space.
Starting point is 00:50:02 So then I'm going to start kind of using the hull to crawl around and find like an opening or some sort of airlock type of thing. Yeah. So yeah, you start to pull yourself around. Do you want to go up over the top, down the side, the bottom? I'll check around the side and the bottom.
Starting point is 00:50:15 Okay. So you pull yourself down along the side And as you get down, you do see that there's a hole that would be big enough for you and your friends. You want to go in? Yeah. All right, you go into the hole. All of a sudden, there's a big knock, knock, knock,
Starting point is 00:50:30 and water gets sucked in. Make a dexterity saving throw. Okay. Just real quick, is this magical base? It is not magical base, no. Four plus my next, five. It's a five. Do your worst.
Starting point is 00:50:45 You take eight bludgeoning damages, you bang against the walls and get sucked. into the ballast of this vessel. You roll out into, you have Dark Vision, into a very dark, long section of this ship. It's got about three feet of water, and it's constantly undulating back and forth as different of these holes, kind of open and close,
Starting point is 00:51:04 and either bring in water or push water out. Whoa. That's where you are right now. We will go back up. He's dead and dying and sinking. Barrel. Viros. Yeah, no, don't worry about me.
Starting point is 00:51:15 No, I'm gonna try to help him. Okay. is to fight underwater. I think a lot of these people don't understand that. We're kind of being shown up a little bit by Mr. Fancy Fishman over here. You stealth, I'll give him that. So I'm gonna try and make my way over
Starting point is 00:51:31 to this hammerhead shark. All right, see you're gonna hit it with the shark head. Yeah. All right, so you go for piercing damage with it? All right. Can I do that? Roodle.
Starting point is 00:51:45 Yeah, let's do it, why not? Barrel the Brutal. Yeah. So we'll just do... I'm just gonna put my hands... Just roll a D20 and add your strength modifier. And just punch it. Yeah, just roll D20 and just strength modifier.
Starting point is 00:52:00 15 and I add strength? Yeah. Oh, with the seven. My math. Yeah. Okay. So Perel puts the top jaw of the shark on her hand. Swins closer to that.

Starting point is 00:53:37 and she slams these teeth down. It goes through the hide, and little bits of blood drops sort of start to come out around there. Varel, anything else? Can I do it again? You do two attacks, right? Yeah, yeah. Go for it. That's okay.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Oh, that is a 14. A 14. That will hit. Oh, it hits? Okay. One. One. Three.
Starting point is 00:54:00 Four. One. Okay, so one, four, three, one. Nine, full damage on that. It's hurt, and that is sort of working as you pound these shark teeth into the back of this other shark. He's punching it, like some kind of weird Hulk hands. Yeah. It's fantastic.
Starting point is 00:54:19 It's extremely bizarre, but it's working. I want to know what's going through the shark's head right. right now. The teeth of the other shark. Teeth of the other shark, quite literally. Seamus, so you are on level with this underwater vessel that's going by. These other two are attacking the shark. She swummed to the ship.
Starting point is 00:54:37 He's somewhere on it. You don't know where he is? I want to finish off this baby shark now. All right, so you... A hammerhead shark. A little baby shark. A little baby. Yes.
Starting point is 00:54:47 Four plus seven. Yes, unfortunately. That's not going to hit on your 11. It's just a miss. So he slides up for, he tries to stab for it, but I think maybe just weakening a little, you've had all your ego going, your adrenaline going, and now it's like, you were so wanted to make it foolish
Starting point is 00:55:04 that it kind of, it psyched you out and everything. It is its turn, you're bleeding, yeah. It would be much. I mean, flesh wound. I hit you. Hi, math. And you are going to take, not that much. That's 11 plus 4, so 15 on that.
Starting point is 00:55:24 bite damage right through your mail and Anna. I'm just gonna look up at it and I'm gonna do Shatter. Okay. So loud. Okay. It is. It's sonic, isn't it? A sudden the ringing noise, da-da-da-da-da. Force damage or thunder damage?
Starting point is 00:55:42 Thunder. Thunder. Three D-8 Thunder. I think that might be a hearing thing, I wonder. What was my damage? Yeah, but I thought Chops could hear. Under, hmm. I guess it's only your call.
Starting point is 00:55:54 If it's magically induced, it's just using the vibrations. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, go for it. So I'm gonna roll 3D8. All right, roll your 3D8. It saves. Can I save a cons-s-safe? Can be very disorienting?
Starting point is 00:56:06 Sorry. What was his damage again? 15? 15. 15? Yeah. Two, four, five. So 11 damage total.
Starting point is 00:56:16 I'm gonna save against it and see what I take. I don't make it, so I take the full 11 damage on that. There we are. Yeah, it's really. You guys didn't even really hear it that much. It was like centered right in the shark's nervous system. I know the sharks can't really blink I don't think or anything but anything he sort of shakes a little bit tries to shake that off. Thank you Anna Viros. I'm going to kill it. What do you want to do? I'm going to kill it. Go for it. It's slashing of course with my hand axe. Yes. At disadvantage. At disadvantage. So I'm hurt. You understand that right? So I'm injured so it's a four.
Starting point is 00:56:52 Unfortunately that's not going to hit. The other one was incredibly high by it, mind you. But I have two. But I have two. You do tax. You do. You do. And of course I roll a 14 and a 13. 13, that will hit. So I hit it again, you know. Just trying, you know, whatever. Commonplace.
Starting point is 00:57:08 So that's a six with the damage. Two plus six is eight. Eight damage. I hurt it. You kill it. So if you want to know how. Yes, I want to know how. We all want to know how this happens because it's like a show.
Starting point is 00:57:20 I'm injured, you know, I've taken a lot. You've never seen this along the adventure. You're like, oh my God, he is human. And you know, it humbles me. It humbles me, it humbles you. It makes everyone go, wow, the god is in fact flesh and blood and girth. Anyway, so he takes the hammer because he's been pierced so many times between. It's just weakened and fragile with everything he's got because he's bleeding, he's hurt.
Starting point is 00:57:44 Takes both hammers and goes, and it just goes, and all the guts and brains split its head in half. And I go, rha-rah. So yes, all of this happens. And the two pieces of shark and the two pieces of giant shark all sort of float with you down. Would you like to move now as the ship is here and you are now beginning to sink beneath it?
Starting point is 00:58:11 I would like to go as far as I use... All right, so you're able to swim, I get rid of the hammerheads. It was just for show and I'd swim my way. Grab on. All right, we are out of initiative, so the rest of you're going to go swim up? Yeah. At this point you go, where are the...
Starting point is 00:58:25 Where the fuck is Ricky? So Ricky, meanwhile. Ricky, meanwhile. On the inside of this container, he still thinks that there's this shark fight going on and his goal was to kind of look for help or something like that here. Not seeing anything and knowing that these dummies
Starting point is 00:58:41 aren't gonna find these holes. He's gonna pull out some little bits of cotton to jam into his ears and pulls at another one of those packets. And then throws it on the wall and it snaps. And the sound of of Beryl's accordion playing song, like super loud so that it could possibly be heard.
Starting point is 00:59:02 Like you would hear music at a house party from far away. Fantastic. And you also hear Beryl outside say, that's my dream. So as this happens inside, and it's loud and it's everything you want it to be, you see off in the far end, something sort of lights up under the water.
Starting point is 00:59:21 We'll come back out to you guys. You hear, yes, from like the bottom of the shit, this accordion music, wah-wha-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h. And it seems to be coming, kind of you can hear it extra loud at the front and back ends of this strange craft. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Well, I just want to remind you that I'm bleeding profusely.
Starting point is 00:59:41 Mm-hmm. All right, it was hurt. Just see you know. So I just had the thought. This could be where the doctor is. You're already covered in the room. Okay, okay. Okay, I've got a lot of things to say, but we need to get inside it. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:59:54 We just going out, yes. We need to go inside. Okay, so you're starting to swim towards where you hear the sound. So you also find these holes. So you know, I guess you're all swimming to the same area. Yeah, yeah. So you go towards the, towards the same one that heated towards the front. And yeah, it's a dark hole.
Starting point is 01:00:09 And if you stand there for a second, every once in a while you'll hear a and then a bunch of water will get sucked in through that hole. Okay, let's go in the hole. Blin, blin, blin. In a hole? Okay, we're gonna, can I like throw my paper airplane down there? Hell yeah, you can. Just to see, make sure it's safe for everyone.
Starting point is 01:00:33 So yeah, so she takes out her paper airplane, which is magically resistant to the water. Ah. It's been waxed, you know, and passes it down through the ballast hole. As it goes through, you can see that it's a tight space, and even as the water gets sucked, your airplane gets a little dislodge
Starting point is 01:00:47 and kind of moves around, and it kind of gasket opens at the back and swallows the paper airplane. which then disappears from sight. You see it, slide in, and it is also lighting up this area. You're inside. So you see it come in from the front, right in the same hole you came from.
Starting point is 01:01:01 I want to go over and grab it and open it as if someone wrote something on it. Oh, a note to me. It's just kind of this glowing paper. All right, back out to you guys. I swim with my shark hand towards the gasket. And slide on through? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:17 All right, make a dexterity saving throw. All right. Now, would you consider this a change? trap? Because I have, I have, not really. I have danger sense. I know you do, so you have that extra thing. But this might apply, because the danger sense is just about you being able to tell that it's dangerous and do some extra precautions about it. I'm going to give it to you. Yay! Okay. Glad I had, oh, I got double 18s anyway. Oh, there's. All right, so it doesn't matter. My ruling doesn't count. So yeah, you're fine. She does this thing where she like makes her body real
Starting point is 01:01:52 long and thin and it just kind of perfectly sucks her right through. You see her tumble out. You see her tumble out into the space. As that happens, you see another kind of bit of light. And this time it's getting a little bit closer under the water. I have your paper. Sorry for the music. Oh, are we not underwater in this room?
Starting point is 01:02:08 In this room, there's only about three feet of water. You can stand up. Oh, I turn back to him and say, I have a short head. What? I have a short head. What? Oh, put that down. All right, who wants to go next, or what do you want to do?
Starting point is 01:02:21 I want to go in now. All right, make a dexterity saving throw. Bless your dix. Oh, good. Just like a solid set. It's a solid seven, unfortunately. You are gonna take eight bludgeoning damage as you get knocked against the sides and pull in
Starting point is 01:02:37 and then you get rolled out next to Ricky and Barrel. Oh. What's gonna go next? Anyone else? I'll go. All right. I'm at disadvantage or regular? No, just regular.
Starting point is 01:02:47 I'm gonna try and swim in, as you know. So you wanna, you're gonna make an effort to do it gracefully or? Yeah, I'm trying to just go in smoothly to 15 plus two. And you do it very well. Yeah, you know. And he's able, you couldn't, Watch, barrels, moves and what she did,
Starting point is 01:03:01 just sort of copy her, and you are also able to slide through. Well, I have great respect for her, so I do follow her at times. I'm very humble in that way. And Seamus. I mean, I'm guessing going in as well. All right, go for it. This one, yep.
Starting point is 01:03:11 20. Oh, Chris. Oh, Chris! So, you've actually, not that you've like done this specifically before, but you've had issues where when you've been swimming underneath the holes of ships and things, things have dragged you around certain currents.
Starting point is 01:03:24 So you know exactly which muscle to use to sort of offset that. and it is the most graceful. In fact, when you come through on the other side, you don't even make a splash. Great. Fantastic, so you are now in this small hall. Now the rest of you can see,
Starting point is 01:03:37 it hasn't come any closer, but there is this little light that'll flicker up on the other side of the ship. And I'll cancel the illusion. Can't take out the cotton. Fantastic. Oh, I'm so glad everyone's okay. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:49 Oh, do. Viros has hurt. Don't talk to me, Huxter. Come here, come here, I can help you. Really? Wait, before you help him, if we are on Dr. Akiva's ship, She likes to treat the undead, he's already bleeding.
Starting point is 01:04:01 No, this is not, I don't like where this is going. Come here, Annabella, you're very, very extreme. With all due respect, my calf is hanging out. He should let him die. And then, well, I- Gastrochnemius is gone. Can we please? Okay, all right, heal him, heal him.
Starting point is 01:04:15 He would be undead. So I'm going to come over and I'm going to touch the area around where you've been wounded. It's my calf. It's your calf. You can caress it if you like. Yes, I will. And so I'm like, this muscular
Starting point is 01:04:28 It's so beautiful. Well. How do you get it so defined? And you can't, it's just me. Healing word. All right, so roll your... So three plus my spellcasting ability is four, so that's the total is seven.
Starting point is 01:04:41 Seven, not too bad. Seven back. Not too shabby. I like it. So we're in the ship, there's like three feet of water. Yes, that you're standing in. Yeah, and the lights are where? They're in that water.
Starting point is 01:04:50 In that water. In that water. But at the far end of the ship. Just for the visual. I am three foot two. Yes. Just to let you know. Okay, great.
Starting point is 01:04:57 Basically just the top hat that's going around. Anyway. That's funny. So we're now OK. We don't need that breathing thing anymore. Yes, well, he might. But the rest of you, yes, there does seem to be breathable air on the top of this.
Starting point is 01:05:11 Yeah, jump on my back. Okay. Okay. So. Do you want to make a check to see if you know what they are? Yeah, I would like to. Yeah, go for it. You're going to roll a D20.
Starting point is 01:05:20 Seven. And add a nature bonus. Plus two. So seven plus two, nine. Yeah. Unfortunately, you don't recognize these. These are not something you've encounter before, but they don't look good.
Starting point is 01:05:30 Doesn't seem, you know, light underwater is not always. I don't know these archives, but they don't look good. That's enough for me. I'm gonna go. See, you scramble over to the thing. As you start to move these lights, do start to kind of drift a little bit closer. But you make it to the ladder.
Starting point is 01:05:44 Is everyone else climbing up? Oh, very much. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm getting up the ladder. All right, see. I don't want whatever that is to eat. Everyone's running towards the ladder. Yes, these lights are starting to follow you and flick, flicks on and then goes dark.
Starting point is 01:05:55 Flick, Flicks on and then goes dark. It's going to be in You're going to go up and try to open the hatch? Yes. All right, Ricky climbs up. He is able to open it. Oh, good. Well done.
Starting point is 01:06:05 And shoves it up open. Someone's been working out. Yeah, look at those. I wasn't going to say anything, but. Those little ludel arms. Guilty. How do you want to handle this? I'm going to peek with my hat, like, peek up.
Starting point is 01:06:18 Okay, a little peek. As you look around, this appears to be a very rusty metal room, and there are big tanks everywhere that have these little gauges on them. And every once in a while, you hear a of air pressure as it changes. You also hear something moving way back behind some of these tanks. Okay, I'm gonna gently climb up out of the hole
Starting point is 01:06:38 and as I'm ushering people up, I'm just gonna motion. Okay, so stealth checks as you all do this. Oh, I'm not stealthy. You'll probably have a really good. You have 23. Ooh, nice. 17.
Starting point is 01:06:54 11, 14 plus 7. Oh, perfect. Eight. And eight for you. Okay, so Viro, Ricky, of course. Ricky jangles a little, as you're going, shh, you're making the most noise of every.
Starting point is 01:07:05 Why do you? Viros also, as he comes up, his armor scratches his side a little bit and makes a little noise. My shoulder width again. Yeah. Comfort in the doorway. Shush, shh, sorry. You come up into the space and off down this wall to the side,
Starting point is 01:07:20 there is another hatch that's horizontal that seems to be going into another room. Something is moving, something large and heavy towards the back, and it does seem to be kind of, coming in your direction around these tanks.
