Starting point is 00:02:24 coming in your direction around these tanks. Are you ready? Hello? Carol says hello. It stops. It picks up again, continues to walk closer. Now it feels like it might be right behind the tanks that are. right in front of you. It starts to come around the corner. Hello? What you see as it bends
Starting point is 00:02:47 around the corner is some horribly mutated creature that has some humanoid parts and others are fish parts and you can see stitching where they've been sewn together. Its eyes are blank and dead as it kind of drags this one foot behind it and comes closer. It does see you, but it turns and it goes over to one of the tanks right in your bio that's going sling. letting out air. And it seems to ignore you. It raises its one humanoid arm rather than its octopus arm
Starting point is 00:03:18 and spins the valve stopping that pressure from going. It then continues around and goes back off into the dark of the room. Well, that just happened. Should we turn off the other valves? I think that's his job. Oh, maybe he's hired for that. In your experience with...
Starting point is 00:03:36 I've never seen anything like, Well, in my experience, this looks like, something that may have been stitched together from parts, something of the necrotic arts. The crazy doctor would have done. Yes. Well, yeah, the dude had a tentacle for an arm. Yes.
Starting point is 00:03:54 He had tentacle arm. Yes, he did. That's not something that just happens. It's not like catching a disease where your arm just turned it to a tentacle. Right. That's some really fucked up shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:05 It sure is, buddy. I have like eight hit points. Can I give myself a healing word? Yes, you can. Okay, so I go ahead and do that. I sing to myself and I say, You're gonna be fine, just take a deep breath and fight the doctor now.
Starting point is 00:04:23 And that's what I'm ready to do. So yes, you all see her turn around, she just sings this little song to herself. And then she's like, okay, I'm ready. Okay, yeah, I'm ready now. So it'll be a D4. So I'm gonna ring a D4 out. It's a four.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Plus you're, I believe you're charisma based. Yeah, so I'm an eight. I got eight points back. Ah! Let's rock. Okay, ready. All right. So yes, you're here.
Starting point is 00:04:54 This creature has left you alone, and there is this door going back, and then there's more sort of area to explore forward within these tanks. Okay, guys, we have to be really careful, because that means if the doctor catches us, She's gonna turn our arms as a tentacles and I really like my arms. As to why, I mean, come on. Virus, what?
Starting point is 00:05:11 I have an idea. Yes. That picture frame you have. Uh-huh. Let's get this creature to look into it. Like it. I love that. It seems docile enough.
Starting point is 00:05:21 You go ahead. So we're gonna have the creature look into it. And then you become the creature. Right. We could save that and use that. Yeah. Oh, we could save it for later. So the tentacle creature is still there.
Starting point is 00:05:33 It walked off into the sort of recesses this room, we'd have to go find it. Go get him, slugger. I want to remind you I'm not fully healed. I'm at 28 from 48, so. Wow, you are hurt. Yeah, I'm not in the best conditions, you know. Beryl.
Starting point is 00:05:46 I'll pull a big old red potion bottle, and it's just a full on healing potion and give it to you. I didn't want to, you know, ask for much. Drink. Thank you. So, D4 plus two, I think. I think so.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Oh, is that? That's a four. That's a four. You have six points of healing. Is it two D4? 2D4, so you've got six, roll it once more. Not two. And two, so that's eight points back for you.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Okay. All right, so he downs this bottle. 36, 14. And you were using an item? Yes, it was an item. Gotcha. So, Viras, what are you gonna do? I approach the depths of the darkness
Starting point is 00:06:23 of where this octopus man went. Virus follows around the edge. He very quickly goes out of sight from the rest of you. As you go, it seems to be this maze of tanks and hissing and steam, it's quite warm in here from all of this. Just up ahead, there are lanterns along the wall, so there's easy to see in here,
Starting point is 00:06:40 or you can see in here. You do see it silhouetted at the back, it's standing there and it rifts its humanoid arm again and changes the gauge and starts to walk off again. We don't know if this is dangerous or not yet. So what about this is a time for me to take the mirror with the mage hand? Oh.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Oh. There's a thought. So Seamus runs up and taps Spiros on the shoulder. What a minute, dude. Like, give it to me, hand it over, put it in this hand here that you guess. You mean that silhouetted hand. You cast a little something with your hand and a ghostly hand appears in front of you. It's kind of wrapped on my hand at the moment.
Starting point is 00:07:18 It's there, you don't know, it's there. I take it off and now it exists. I should have warned you guys about that. Don't be freaked out. Oh, too late for that. So this, yes, this spectral hand. I'll see if I can do it. Yeah!
Starting point is 00:07:32 Yeah! Starts to float off into the distance. More of a hook. Captain Hook. Captain Hook. So the hand takes the mirror. Go for it. Right?
Starting point is 00:07:43 Yeah, takes the mirror. It goes off. This creature is not more than 30 feet away. No, it's not. You can move up close enough. Right, right. It takes the mirror right up in front of the creature, imprints its face on it, and it returns back to us.
Starting point is 00:07:57 It brings you back. You have the image of this creature. Don't look at it. Don't look at it. Picture frame. Thank you, hand. Wrap it in a cloth. I pull out a handkerchief with a bunch of roses on it
Starting point is 00:08:10 and we wrap it up. That was a good idea. You're very resourceful. I don't want to say you smarter than me, but it was very intelligent, a little bit. Very handy. Quite. Do you see what you did that?
Starting point is 00:08:21 Because he has an extra hand and he said handy. That was jovial. That was good. Been planted that for three days. Yes, so that is complete. So now. So in your experience, with noddle vessels.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Where are we? Is this the brig? The aft? Starboard. To be clear, I didn't choose that. So yes, you would make an intelligence role with advantage. Let me tell you.
Starting point is 00:08:44 So rule 2D20s and we'll take the higher. 19. Oh, that's probably pretty good. One. Yeah. So we'll take that 19. So yeah, you say, yeah, I've actually, this is kind of a new technology,
Starting point is 00:08:55 is this sort of compressed air used as energy as power to move a ship. You can also use it to fly. it to flood this space with oxygen so that it is breathable air. Very few ships sort of have this, but in your experience of traveling all over the realms, you have seen come into place of this. So this is a steam engine room. And that this is probably the kind of lowest part of the ship and that, yes, you probably want to continue. Continue on. Yeah, there we go. So would that help explain what he was doing this guy? Yeah. So essentially, the gauges have to be adjusted. So
Starting point is 00:09:27 anytime the ballast works or any other of the functions of the ship, you have to adjust. just some of these different gauges to make that work. Okay. So yeah, he's running the ship. I say we go forward, not backward. Yeah. Let's go. So through the hatch?
Starting point is 00:09:41 Through the hatch. All right, who wants to go first? Not me. Not me. Not I this time, Beryl. Mm. I'll do it. All right, barrel goes up,
Starting point is 00:09:49 starts to spin the wheel on the hatch. It clicks, it's not stuck or locked, and you're able to pull it open. Do you want to do this in any special way? Quietly. Roll a stealth jack. Oh, bad. What barbarians are known for.
Starting point is 00:10:05 They're extreme stealth. Eight. And eight. So she goes, and very slowly she goes, and it goes, ah, really loud creak as it opens up. Everyone freezes. As you peer in through the room, you see what appears to be a laboratory.
Starting point is 00:10:23 There are shelves with unctions and potions and bottles. Ricky gets very excited. Easy top hat. Right in the center of the room is a long steel table with a white sheet draped over it, and under the sheet appears to be something with at least feet that you can see sticking up. Along the side walls are aquariums
Starting point is 00:10:43 filled with octopi, nautilus, anglerfish, all kinds of different crabs and lobsters in the aquariums. At the back, you see a ladder that goes up. I don't like octopuses, or cracking or squid. Okay. Make a bee line for all the ingredients and potions and books. Go and make an investigation check. Heck yes.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Go for it. Oh, would you like to? It's a plus three. Okay. Okay. Yeah, you come to it and you're like, oh, oh, oh, I know this stuff. There's definitely like leather working materials. There are also a lot of body parts.
Starting point is 00:11:19 There's brains in gel. There are feet and toes and hands. There are healing unguents and bindings. Bull hair and dung. Jars of scales, cured leather, thread, needles, surgical supplies, gauze. Just opened my bag and like, just you got all that shit.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Cool. I'd like to go pull the sheet. You're gonna go pull the sheet? Alright, so Virus, you walk over to this large table, and as you're gonna, you notice that actually, there's a circle cut in the ceiling that would be bigger than this table. Up there you can see like a cage of wire that all kind of compounds into one spot and go straight up.
Starting point is 00:11:57 As you go and you pull the sheet off, you see another of those creatures that you see saw in the engine room. This one is lying flat, does not respond. Okay. Were the feet attached to that creature? Feet are attached to this creature, although you do notice that one foot is a human foot and the other foot is like a crab foot. A crab foot. I start looking around the room, looking for documentation of experiments, any kind of paperwork that would lead me to gain more knowledge about what is going on and if this is the room that it's going on in.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Great. So you go over to the bookshelves rather than the potion shelves, make it a investigation check. Okay. I have an 11 plus 8, so 19. So you start going through the books, and yes, there are books on surgery practices, human anatomy, marine anatomy. You also find this instruction outline for Glock and spiel safes and security. Wow! Annabella, what is that?
Starting point is 00:12:53 It's an instructor outline for safes and security. Sure. Using the energy cells, arrange the pairs on the circulatory grid. circuitory grid. The numbers along the sides indicate how many positive or negative nodes are in the row or column. Warning! Two squares of the same energy type positive or negative cannot be directly next to one another,
Starting point is 00:13:15 or you risk an energy surge. That sounds fun. We hope you enjoy your new lightning power. Security system, six-month warranty void in certain realms. A security system? Is it in place? Have we been caught? I'm shouting.
Starting point is 00:13:32 I think your bones would be turned to ash if you had been caught. Oh, good. As you were shouting, you do hear a voice from up above. It's sort of obscured. You can't quite see it through the mesh of the cage. It leans over. It goes, Gilly, is that you?
Starting point is 00:13:48 Where's the mirror? No, we don't need it. Sound, sound. I can do a sound thing. I am going to do a sound thing. Like Gilly? Gilly! I'm Gilly.
Starting point is 00:14:00 What am I doing? I'm the gilly. I assume it's the creature. Yes. That noise. It's magic. I use magic and I make the noise of the creature. So whatever you heard him make back in that other room.
Starting point is 00:14:19 I'm now repeating. You repeat it there. Yes. She goes, for a second there, I thought you could talk. But I didn't teach you how to talk. Silly, get back to work. work and it goes away. That's not what I expected. Me neither, but, you know.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Okay. Not now. Gross. What? She's evil. I'm just saying she sounds fantastic. I know that look. I didn't say anything.
Starting point is 00:14:42 I wouldn't mind kidnapping her to talk to her. I wouldn't mind getting to talk to her. Well, maybe we don't have to kidnap her, but we need to talk to her. We should do. Allow me. Because I'm very, very, as you know, charismatic, intimidating, persuasive. And I have a very,
Starting point is 00:14:59 realm-wide reputation with ladies. It's a curse, I don't know what to tell you. I'd like to go find her. Ricky reaches out and grabs your beautiful calves. I'm like, oh, ah, shh. Is this really the time? I'm just mentioning it could help. We need to stick together.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Hurt calves. Sush, please whisper. Well, I've been watched many times. This is a reconnaissance mission with you gathering information. Reconiscence, exactly. So is there a way out of this room? So there is a ladder at the back that goes up to a hatch,
Starting point is 00:15:33 and then, yes, it's sort of opened this cage space above. Cage space. Mm-hmm. Now that's where we heard the voice. This is where the woman was shouting. The woman was up above and sort of shouted down to you from there. I have an idea. I know. Hold yourself. I've got the ability, or you have the ability,
Starting point is 00:15:50 to make yourself look like gilly, so we can get more reconnaissance. Then, or I could just go bed her, and we could... No, I don't think right now is a good time. Again, just consider it. Let it marinate. No. You need to stop marinating.
Starting point is 00:16:04 But I have the mirror. Shish. At the top, you hear her go, okay, I think we're getting close enough. Gilly, raise them up. And suddenly you hear a crank, and the whole floor beneath this table starts to rise quite quickly. Viros was standing on it. Ricky was standing on it.
Starting point is 00:16:18 One of you were off, because you didn't move into the room. Three of you make saving throws to get off of the thing, dexterity saving throws. I want to scramble under the sheet. You want to stand to the sheet. Ricky gets underneath the sheet on the sheet. the table and he throws it back on and gets under. Annabelle, you're going to jump off? Are you going to stay?
Starting point is 00:16:32 No, I'm getting off. I'm getting off. I'm going to. Roll a dexterity savings. 15. 15. You roll off and they're able to jump and land on your feet just underneath it. You'd like to hand it to Ricky.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Okay, as you hand this to Ricky. Very quickly, you're going to roll off, you're going to stay. Yeah, I'm going to roll off as you hand it to him. As you hand it off. And it's an 18. It's 18. It's 18. So he hands it off and he disappears underneath as this thing rises up into the cage on the next level.
Starting point is 00:16:56 The four of you are left alone on the lower level. Ricky, let's do you. Why do I keep spitting? Ricky, hiding underneath this sheet, it finally comes to a stop. You're kind of looking through the sheet, but there's light. You can see a pair of long, thin legs walking around.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Very good, Gilly. I think we're about ready to begin. I'm just waiting. You're just waiting. We'll go back down to you guys. What do you want to do? What do we do? I want to go back up on the ladder, some, you know, stealthily.
Starting point is 00:17:25 I want to help him. Let's do it. We've got to get to him. Let's do it. Okay. Okay. All right. So you're going up the ladder, opening the hatch and going up?
Starting point is 00:17:33 I'm trying to, stealthily. All right, still there. Make a stealth check. You go first. So 16. 16? All right, Viros does a pretty good job actually this time. Climbing up the ladder and he opens up the hatch and lifts it up.
Starting point is 00:17:43 It doesn't creak and you're able to kind of control it as it comes down and you poke your head up. What you see in this room is, again, the whole expanse of this ship reaches out ahead of you. To one side, you see this reptilian creature. It's all kind of curled up in a kennel. and it has five heads. It sees you as you put your head up, but it doesn't do anything. It just sort of looks at you.
Starting point is 00:18:06 You see a bowl next with that says spike on it. As you look around to the other side, you see a safe with the name Glockenspiel on it. Over in this corner. The cage is in the center, and as you look through the cage, you can just see that this table has risen up within this kind of metallic mesh.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Greetings, adventurer. 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. 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 got to say, looking a little bit sad.
Starting point is 00:18:47 I want clothes that can keep up with me and my son. But updating my wardrobe every spring sounds pretty expensive.

Starting point is 00:20:22 And now, on to the show. Greetings adventurers. 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,

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.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Quince works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middlemen so you're getting premium materials without the markup. 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.

Beyond it, it's a little harder to see what things are. It's obstructive, but you do see a bed and kind of a desk and that front window. And that's where Ricky is under the table. Ricky is under the table.
Starting point is 00:22:21 You also see a ladder going up to. a hatch at that far end. Far end, where things are a little bit more miles. Yes, where it's beyond. In fact, we can do this, I think. Let's do this. Okay. Get that over.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Ricky, please. Oh boy. I needed to make it bigger. So Ricky, okay. It was almost perfect though. Almost good. There we go. All right, Viros, you are sticking your head up over here.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Here's Spike. Okay. And Gillyman. What you do see, however, is another one of those sort of fishy creatures here. He stands at the edge and he's on a crank. And again, with a very blank look, he's just sort of cranked it up to that last section
Starting point is 00:23:07 and he stops and just sort of waits there. I'd like to do a quick check. I guess it would be either medicine or nature to kind of find out what's going on here. Because I've experimented with things as well. So if I could piece together what the next steps might be. Let's do a medicine check. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:24 So, OK, dirty 20. A dirty 20. So clearly this is some sort of experiment. Right. You have never seen anything quite of this setup. Yeah. But you're pretty sure that we're dealing with reanimation here. Right.
Starting point is 00:23:37 That whatever she's going to do involving this cage and this creature is going to be about bringing it to life. Great. Like her other. So I'm going to pull out one of my potion bottles, and it's this tiny marble of a bottle with a tiny cap on it, but inside there's like, it seems like there's flashing clouds and like lightning type of thing.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Okay, yes. I'm just holding onto it. Okay, you're ready with it. Yeah. I've got an advantage on knowledge checks related to marine creatures. Uh-huh. So maybe I can do a check on either Spike or... This guy's not a marine creature.
Starting point is 00:24:09 He's been sewn together or something. He's pieces of and you recognize the pieces of. Spike definitely roll an advantage... D20? Nature check on Spike. Five. Plus my... But you can do it again.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Oh yeah, you're advantaged. So I do it again? Yeah. You take a higher. Ten. Okay. you're doing what nature? Nature.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Or, Arcana, could be either. Okay. Five. Yeah. Yes, you recognize this as a hydra. Very, very tough creature. You also know that if it takes a certain amount of damage, it will lose ahead, but oftentimes two will sprout back.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Oh, yeah. And also that it is vulnerable to fire. It's good to hit it with fire. I say to you, it kind of looks like those creatures are tameable, because it seems that they're serving a purpose. Is that possible for these creatures? Yeah. Now do I do another intelligents?
Starting point is 00:24:57 Which one are you asking for? For instance, they're not like, they didn't eat the woman who was speaking, right? So it looks like they're under, subservient. And they've seen us. And they've seen us. They've seen us and they've not one house. So the gilly men.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Yeah, I'm asking about. No, Spike is well. Both. Creatures here. Okay. I mean, your feeling about hydras is that they're not tameable. Right. That if she's got a hydro up here,
Starting point is 00:25:19 this is a weird scenario. You don't know anything about these gilly men other than the fact that it's pretty clear she's making them. They don't seem intelligent, they'll just do. If they're not tamable, they're also not intimidated yet. It's not intimidated by you yet, no. Okay. It saw his head poke up, but it doesn't do anything at this point.
Starting point is 00:25:38 I, we're all down. Okay, come back down. We're all down here. I wanna go up there and disguise myself as a colleague doctor, and I wanna talk to the doctor. Okay, Dr. Kiva, okay, but. Sandra can't handle playing. No, I love it.
Starting point is 00:25:56 But if shit goes south, I need everyone to be battle ready. Somebody get some fire going, so if we cut off all the heads, you can kill that thing immediately. Battle ready, does it bear shit in the woods? I mean, it's just. Where are we supposed to get fire from? This plan has so many problems.
Starting point is 00:26:14 There are some problems. You can't make fire? Do you have a matchbook? Well, I mean, I could make a campfire. Well, I've got a candle in my bag. You want me? I'm hit a hydro with a camera with a camera. I mean, it would make the fire.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Is this dumb? Is this dumb? I'm going. I'm up there. All right, I'm up. I'm full disguise. Okay. This is...
Starting point is 00:26:38 Dr. Akiva. There's so many issues. Dr. Akiva. Oh, my. Oh, my. Oh, so. What a power play. Boom.
Starting point is 00:26:46 A woman comes walking around the side, and she is fabulous. She is like, it's all like a leather apron and a little hat. And she just knows how to, like, move. her hips as she walks, she comes around and she goes, oh my God, how'd you get on my submarine? Who are you? My name is Dr. Lerange, and I am a friend of Margosa who sent me because unfortunately,
Starting point is 00:27:12 your Glock and Spiel instructor outline security is faulty. So I need you to take me to the layer because I'm here to test it, because God forbid, if one of these things go out, everything's aright. I love you so much. So I have my kit and I'm ready to fix your security. So make a deception check. With advantage, right?
Starting point is 00:27:36 I think, totally with advantage. Wow. If you could also grab me a glass of water. Okay. You can roll it again, but take the higher. Because it's a 19. Right, and it's under your Christmas score plus deception, plus seven.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Plus seven. So 26. A 26? And I'm still parched. 27. Um, is that? She looks super confused and she's like, hold on a minute.
Starting point is 00:28:11 So like, yeah, it's totally been on the fritz. I haven't been able to open my safe. Right. But like I still don't get, like, how'd you get in my submarine? Okay, perfect. So like I said before, I come with the security team and I did a reroute test to see if, in fact, I would set off an alarm when entering the submarine
Starting point is 00:28:30 and I didn't clearly because we have an internal system issue which I'm here to fix. Oh my god, I'm so glad you're here. Okay, well let me go get the energy cells and you tell me if you can figure it out. Yeah, perfect. Actually, if you don't mind, I'm a little... That's spike. Okay. Don't worry, he's chained. Oh, perfect. But he's beautiful, isn't he? You know what? I was gonna say that he is the most beautiful five-head dragon I've ever encountered. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:29:00 All right, no one ever comments on my dragon. I'm super impressed. He's a hydra actually, but like, who cares? I apologize. Okay. I love your hydra. Thank you. Let's get to work.
Starting point is 00:29:09 What was your name again? Dr. Lerange. That is like a gorgeous, kind of like Frenchy name. I love it. She goes behind back to the ornate desk at the back and she opens a drawer and she pulls out this, which she hands you. Let's also bring out the safe.
Starting point is 00:29:27 So yes, you've laid this deception. Akiva says, okay, let me go get the energy cells. Tell me if you can get it to open because I really need the stuff in there, okay? Mm-hmm. So she goes, and she goes into her desk, and she pulls out this container, and she brings it to you, and points you towards the Glock and Schpiel safe.
Starting point is 00:29:43 She then walks off back towards the other side of this cage. Ricky, through the, you're hearing all of this, and through the sheets, you're seeing it all happen. Let's put pause on that. You three, on the lower level, are listening to all of this go down. I'm horrified. Absolutely horrified. I have an idea.
Starting point is 00:30:00 We gotta give her backup. So is she still there? Is she over here? She went back over to the other side. I mean, you... I'll say you know that. That's okay. You heard her voice get quieter as she walks.
Starting point is 00:30:12 And say, you're quiet. We're not. You can go up behind that lizard man and take him out, nice and quiet like, grab the mirror from Ricky and take his place? B.T.B. I'm looking... Here's what I'm worried about. If I climb the ladder, I'm now worried that we know he's chained, or Spike is chained. He seems to be okay with Viros.
Starting point is 00:30:34 I'm worried that if I go up as well, suddenly this creature is going to... He won't even see you because you're quiet. Because I'm gonna be super stealth. Exactly. You're like super quiet? So you think I should go up there and do what? Get behind that lizard man. Get behind the Lizard Man.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Take him out. Spike or the lizard man? The lizard man. Get behind him. Gilly man. Take him out. quiet like, use your mage hand to take the mirror from Ricky and take his place.
Starting point is 00:31:03 She won't even know that you're not him. She'll think you're him. Gilly man. Yeah. And then she'll trust you. And then if, you know, something bad happens, punch from the back of the head. I'm not taking your place.
Starting point is 00:31:17 I'm taking Gilly's place. Oh, I should totally do that. Yeah. I was like, why am I taking your place? No, no, I'm just taking the, the other one's going to get off the table. So there's a plan formulating on the lower level.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Annabella, you are upset. She's brought to these energy cells, which you can see if you open the container. Before I do that, I give myself Bartik inspiration. Okay. Sort of mutter or something. Yeah, I mutter to myself. You know, may my hands and my brain work together,
Starting point is 00:31:43 and may wisdom shine down on me, and may my crew be quiet, helpful. And that's what I say. Yeah, it like totally works, and you're like, I'm amazing. Okay. Great. So yes, you have a D8 to add to a You are over with this safe.
Starting point is 00:32:00 You may look at the energy cells if you would like, what she brought you. Oh, wow. Oh my God, oh my God. Oh my God. There are pieces to a, it's like a thing you put on it to solve it, it's a pieces to a- Spiris downstairs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:22 It's like a, it's still his little eyes. Yeah. Guys, it's pieces of things. Puzzle! Puzzle! If you would like to go start solving while the other plan continues, you are welcome to do that. I want to hear him come up. I want to hear the door open.
Starting point is 00:32:38 All right, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to come up the ladder. I'm going to send my hand across to this animal, and I'm going to trap his mouth or he can't make any noise. Okay. Right? As soon as that happens, I'm going to dash over there. Okay. And with my two daggers, the two daggers.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Okay. No, with one dagger. Okay. With two daggers. He's downstairs explaining this to you and he's like, the hand is there, and then I'm gonna go up, run up behind him. With one, I'm gonna hold him still with another dagger, and I'm gonna slit his throat. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:15 And just start fucking stabbing it as much as I can, but he came... Okay, okay. That's what I'm gonna do. Shiving the neck. Right. Oh my God. So, make a stealth check. because you're trying to do this quietly.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Eight. Plus your stealth, it should be pretty high. Seven. Oh, good. So, 15. Yeah. All right, so you are able to jump up and crouch just in front of this hatch without anyone noticing.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Now, the Hydra's heads, again, look at you, but they don't, it doesn't really lunge at you, but it is watching you 100%. Now you're gonna send your hand out? Yep. All right, the hand floats across over to the gilly man, It comes up, wraps around. But as soon as I send it, I'm going at the same time.
Starting point is 00:34:01 As you in tangent with your hand, sneakily. The hand's just like five feet ahead. Yeah, comes around. As soon as this hand clamps on the mouth, you put one hand around. Now, I didn't know that you were coming, so you do have your sneak attack on this, which we forgot last time.
Starting point is 00:34:14 So, yeah, go ahead and make your dagger attack. So a D20 and add your modifier. Right, so 16. 16 to attack. To attack? Yep, yep, you'll totally hit. It's great. So now roll your dagger damage.
Starting point is 00:34:30 A D4. Yeah. Four. Plus? Four. All right, so that's eight. Now roll three D6 for your sneak attack damage. Well, three of these.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Oh. Four total. Do I add anything to that? No. No, unfortunately, that's that. So but 12 gets added on. So yes, you see him, he pops up behind you and sort of runs alongside.
Starting point is 00:34:55 This horn comes across. It does seem to be muffling any sounds of this creature could make. gets one arm around it and stabs in the perfect little spot, but unfortunately it is still moving. At this point, it's going to try and slam back into you. Can we, Rett kind of say me and Veros have our heads popped up out of the hatch?
Starting point is 00:35:12 You guys are looking through the hatch. We're both like. I'm happy to have that going. Still moving. Four. I miss. He tries to slam back, but because you've kind of got your arm on me, can't quite get the right kind of purchase.
Starting point is 00:35:24 Make another attack. 17. Plus seven. Plus seven. Plus seven. So roll your damage for both. This won't have sneak attack this time. Four.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Four plus four. So another eight. Oh, it's so close, but you definitely, you can see the kind of ooze. It's almost like a greenish slime that's oozing out of these wounds, but it's still going. It's gonna try and break.
Starting point is 00:35:46 Can we help? What? Can we assist? How do you want to assist? I wanna chuck my jathlon across the room. Yeah, all right, go for it. Yes, she does. Yes, she does.
Starting point is 00:35:56 You're targeting the gilly man. Okay, go for it. Yeah, I'm gonna, okay, so I'm gonna use my reckless attack so I can gain advantage. All right, go for it. So I just pop up, so you pop up, like a mere cat. Gonna throw this thing at the gilly man.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Like a large mere cat. I rub my shoulders real quick. Okay. Ooh, uh, 26. That'll hit. Okay, and then my javelin is. So throwing a lawn dart, okay. Throwing a long dart.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Six. All right, it comes through, it hits him, and it lodges in, the ground behind him and he kind of goes limp propped up by this thing. I got your back. Thumbs up. All right. It does make a little kind of noise as it goes as it expires, but it's muffled by the hand on its mouth. All right, what do you want to do now?
Starting point is 00:36:46 Okay, so the first thing I do is I send, take the hand away. I send it to go and get the mirror. Okay, the hand goes in. Okay. It goes underneath the, underneath the cloth and kind of holds it. But as I'm doing that, I gesture to these guys. Okay. Gotta get rid of the body. At this point you hear kind of a,
Starting point is 00:37:08 and you hear like a shoo, and she goes, we're almost ready, are you done over there? I am not. There is battery acid everywhere, and I am having to deep clean this, which is, you know, there's gonna be an extra fee. I'm sorry. Wow.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Smart, smart. She goes, well, just hurry up, okay, I've got stuff to do. So, Viros pops up a little bit higher to go to possibly stealth across the room to pick up the body because he could pick up the gilly man like it's a log, like rocky. All right, go ahead and make a stealth check
Starting point is 00:37:46 to sneak over there. Let's make sure everybody's in there. So meanwhile, your mage hand is sneaking over to him and it takes the mirror. Take the mirror. I see the mage hand come underneath the table cloth and I am baffled by this. I don't know what's happening. So I'll like, I recognize that he has mage hand. So I'm going to look underneath the cloth like at you like. But wait, you
Starting point is 00:38:08 weren't with me when we sent the we weren't together when we sent the mehands to go and get the yeah but I don't know what you want. Oh right right right right. You're not making any noise. Do you not, do you not, the mesh has no sign language. Do you not. You know what? Like a thing. If you do that, if you actually sign out, uh, I'm going to wear the top hat and I will understand sign language. So I'll throw this on. So he throws on his hat and it is your helm. This is my helm.
Starting point is 00:38:39 This is your helm of comprehending. All right. So yeah, you know all languages, I suppose even signed ones and it signs. It signs the alphabet for mur. For what now? MIR, mur. That's how the Irish say,
Starting point is 00:38:55 say mur, it's one syllable, it's true, mur. And then I'll place the picture. So I make one syllable, say I go, m'r. I don't have any frankincense or myr. And then I'm like, no, no, murr. I see, let's see, so I'll give it to it. Okay. And the hand speaks back over and look at it.
Starting point is 00:39:18 Suddenly you, it almost feels like the image kind of comes off and it paints itself down on your body and to anyone looking at you, as long as they don't interact with you, you appear to look like the gillard. Now I'm just gonna stand there. Just gonna stand there. Okay. You. I roll a six in stealth.
Starting point is 00:39:34 A six in stealth. Yes. But I'm running, I'm going to get that body. I'm preparing to get it. I don't care what noise it makes. And I'm ready to toss the body back to BTB, Bero the brain. Okay, so you run forward, you grab this body.
Starting point is 00:39:46 Take it. It is a little bit heavy, but we're gonna say you can manage it. You pull it back and you're trying to stuff it down the whole barrel. I'm doing it quickly, making a little You're making a lot of noise. Again, you now hear footsteps as she starts to walk around the edges as if she's gonna come around and look. She goes, what is going on over there?
Starting point is 00:40:04 Can I roll a persuasion check, charisma? What do you wanna do? I'd like to turn, because I'm up in the room. Okay. I'd like to turn to Akiva and meet her. I mean, I'm already up there. All right, she comes around the corner, she sees you. I think the body has fallen through.
Starting point is 00:40:21 I'll give you that. I've given it to barrel. I've given it to barrel. holding the body of this gilly man. No, we've got gilly man. You turn around, she goes, well, hey there, stranger. Did you come with Lorange?
Starting point is 00:40:35 And I say, well, as you know, she did bring security detail, and I'm part of that detail. You do look very secure. That I am, that I am. Make a deception check, please. Oh. All right.
Starting point is 00:40:50 Oh. So here's the thing. It's a one. Oh. Oh no. Okay. Can I get involved? But you are injured still.
Starting point is 00:40:58 I just want to get involved and I want to say, I'm not, I'm not, I want to say, Dr. Kiva, I apologize. This is, this is the air to the Glash and Spiel. Fucking, Zlachenspiel. A fortune. And his father asked me to show him the ropes on how it is that we maintain the engines
Starting point is 00:41:17 and the security systems and I didn't want to bring him. But yet here we are. So I apologize if he's offended you in any way, and can you please wait downstairs? Terribly sorry. It's good to meet you there. Okay, so I'm having a real issue with this, all right? Like, you can't just, like, hide people in my submarine from me, okay?
Starting point is 00:41:43 Get this done, it's your last chance. Thank you very much, and I apologize. I apologize not being forthright about that. Okay. She walks back over to her gizmos and gadgets that she's playing with her dials. Okay, I lived up to the sheet to Ricky, and I go, I'm not great with puzzles.
Starting point is 00:41:59 Who are you? Oh, hi. Hi, can you help? What's going on? We stuck in the cage, so you can reach your hand through, but he can't get out and you can't get in. Okay, well then screw you. And I, I-
Starting point is 00:42:14 Take this. Okay. I'll give you a potion that has a, it's shaped like an owl. Okay. Okay, I drink the potion. It's Owls Wisdom. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:23 So you get advantage on wisdom checks. I burped, it was gross, thanks to the wisdom checks. And I need some wisdom on the puzzle. So, let's see, normally I would have you make an investigation check for something like this. However, do you wanna switch it out? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So let's do intelligence, which I don't remember
Starting point is 00:42:39 which animal is. Okay, throw it up back in the bottle. All right, so it is, fox is cunning. So it's actually a little fox bottle. It's a real. Okay, good, go, go, good, good, good, good, good, good, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. All right, yes, roll an investigation check.
Starting point is 00:42:53 With advantage. with advance. Okay, 19, and I already have plus eight investigation. Yeah, so you were way up there. Okay, so let's see, how do we want to hint you on this? So what are you struggling with? All of it. All of it.
Starting point is 00:43:06 All of it. All right, let's take a second here. Akiva actually walks over, and she goes, okay, first of all, she goes, you can actually do this on the thing. I don't want to screw you up. Well, it's not right. It's not right, okay.
Starting point is 00:43:18 I'm sure it is very close. Let's put it on the way that you've got it. Okay. They have little magnets. I don't know. Something like, I think, okay. Give me one of those, there's a null here.
Starting point is 00:43:35 Dummy cells, give me the dummy cell. There we go. Because we're gonna need. Well, this has to be like, this one has to be like that, there. Yeah, we need two minuses, which means this one goes. That has to be a minus, so that has to be a dummy.
Starting point is 00:43:47 So we got zero and two. That's right. Three, three, so one, two. One, two, three. Is that right? Yeah, it's not touching. So one's a dummy, It's gotta be a one's a minus.
Starting point is 00:44:00 Yeah. Like that? Mm-hmm. We need two. And if that is not touching any, that works. That's perfect. Wait, you need it. Oh no, no, we're good.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Aren't we? Two and two. We're good. So we need three pluses. We have one plus. And so, oh, can we just put two cells here and that'll be good? Yeah, maybe.
Starting point is 00:44:22 Make sure they're not counter-opposing each other. As you click that last cell in, you actually hear a, as the latches in the side get retracted. Oh, no, and then it goes back. Sorry, that's my barnacled hand. Look at his barnacled hand. That's helping.
Starting point is 00:44:41 Got it. Okay. You hear it open from the side. Just want to point out that I was very useful in this puzzle solving, you know, highly educated. Damn it, oh my God. All right.
Starting point is 00:44:53 So, how do I want to pick this up? Dr. Kiva. I have the extra cells. Great. She comes back over, she says, oh my god, you got it working. Oh, that would have taken me forever. You guys need to make your safes way easier.
Starting point is 00:45:05 We're working on a more simpler version for the more simple customer. Thank you. There are those pillows. She goes, all right, you guys can go now. I've got some stuff to do, okay? And she walks off again back behind her mesh zone. At this point, she throws another thing,
Starting point is 00:45:22 and what you've been started to notice is that the ship has come closer, up to the surface. You now can see it's much lighter outside the portholes. You can even like see little cracks of lightning from the storm up above on the surface. There's a loud noise and a grinding and as she sort of cranks something on the side, something seems to rise up right above the cage up into the air above. As like things are moving and I hear her, oh no. I am going to bottle the lightning one that I had ready and pick up a different one and it's just a a dropper of inky black.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Okay. And I'm going to sort of pour it into my eyes. Uh-huh. And it like spreads from my eyes all over, and it's pass without trace. Okay. So I'm casting that on myself. A veil of shadows and silence radiates from you, masking you, and your companions from detection.
Starting point is 00:46:13 But I'm just doing it on myself. So you have a plus 10. Plus 10 to decks and stealth checks. Okay. So I'm going to get out from underneath the cloth and investigate around the area. Okay. Make an investigation check. I can't, or if you'd like to, it's plus three. Oh, you go, you're much better at my house rules than I do.
Starting point is 00:46:28 No, I love that rule. Yeah, you get out and you start to climb around and you're quite stealthy about it, and you'll stay on this side to begin with. And you can see that there are rubber gasket surrounding all of the connections of things, and you are terribly afraid that perhaps this whole cage is going to light up any moment.
Starting point is 00:46:45 Yeah, I'm going to peer underneath the sheet to see what's there. Underneath the sheet is just a flat surface that you were resting on, like a lower, shelf under this table. But there wasn't anything on top. Oh, yeah, oh yeah, there's another one of the...

Starting point is 00:48:02 It does. A couple of different body parts from sea creatures. This one has like a lobster claw of an arm. Okay. Okay. And now I'm going to start looking around the perimeter of the cage to see if there's any sort of entrance or exit. Yes, so you're going to come around that side. So make your stealth check with your 10 plus 10.
Starting point is 00:48:22 plus 10? 16 plus my stealth is 17. 17. So yeah, you're pretty stealthy. Now you can see her though. She is right there, but she's looking at this whole wall of like little dials and levers and cranks that she's working on. And she starts to get kind of excited.
Starting point is 00:48:38 You can sort of see that she's sort of buzzing with her own kind of electricity as this is happening. You do not see a way out. However, the chains that bolt to the floor that brought this up do go up and connect to the winch. Which is where I am. which is where Seamus is right now. Okay, I'll wait and see what else is happening
Starting point is 00:48:56 because I did a lot. So you all have finished, the three of you who were kind of looking at the puzzle and finally got it open, she has gone around the side. You did unlatch, you have not opened the safe yet. Open it. Let's have your mage hand do it, your mage hand. It can't do it.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Well, he's disguised as the- You don't have one. Well, he does. He does. I know, but you're disguised. Oh, sorry. You're there. I can still use it, right?
Starting point is 00:49:18 I can still use it, right? Can he use it if he's disguised? He can't use it. He can't use it? I doubt it's trapped. Okay, can you open the door? With that security. Right.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Right, so you want to do that? Yeah, I'm not opening it. All right, stand back. Okay. Alright. So we'll walk away. We'll go behind. Right.
Starting point is 00:49:36 And then this hand, which now appears in this, like a weird claw. Does it or not? Yeah, yeah. Sure it does. It's got a remnants of the gillum. Scales. The barnacles on the fingers.
Starting point is 00:49:49 Yeah. Barnacles, it goes over and it opens the safe. The safe swings open, it's very quiet, it's excellently oil, this is a very nice safe. As it slides open, nothing happens. Inside, you see an overwhelming amount of money. 2,000 gold pieces probably. There are these beautiful-
Starting point is 00:50:09 I get heart palpitations. Yeah, a little bit. I'm a pirate. Very exciting. On top there are these gorgeous black onyx gems. These are very strange. You haven't seen anything quite. like this before and they're huge. There is also a scroll, a vial of something, and a necklace
Starting point is 00:50:26 as well as a note. So these are the things that are in there along with these big black onyx gems and all of this money. Someone read the note. Firos is going to grab it. So again you're trying to be a little bit quiet here. Archieva. I have found a new source for the black onyx gems and this script is very Very hard to read. Sure, it's the script. The plan is set in motion. Once the job is complete, we should have everything we need for expansion.
Starting point is 00:50:59 I am beginning to lose interest in this little village and am anxious to try our experiment on new subjects, larger towns and cities. Barrel sticking up over the top trying to read over Veras de Shul. And I must warn you, Margotta is getting more. It is getting more and more reckless. I have to bring her prey. Pray. That's like food for the like, not ridiculous animal.
Starting point is 00:51:25 Every day, now just to keep her satisfied. It is time to take this to the next step. It is getting too risky to write. If you need to reach me inquire at the shoe. We both stay in a scooping shoe. Follow the yellow ribbon and you'll find me. Stay safe sister. Ulu.
Starting point is 00:51:48 At this point there's a crack, lights up this whole cage in the center. Make a Constitution saving throw with advantage. Oh gosh, okay. Oh yeah, I have advantage. I'm advantage. The pills. So that's 15 or 19.
Starting point is 00:52:02 Oh, man. Fantastic. You feel a jolt of electricity. You can go through your whole body, but you're able to just kind of keep your wits about you as you're stuck in this cage. You can see you came around this side. So on the other side though, you hear Akiva.
Starting point is 00:52:15 It is time. Gilly, help me. That's you, because you're Gilly now. Yeah, I start pulling the lever. You start pulling the lever. All right. As you do, the table rises even a little bit higher. You rise up a little bit as well.
Starting point is 00:52:35 She goes, yes, yes! Oh, no, okay. I throw my string and... At me? Yeah, I'll even pull your ass down. From where? Well, he's in the cage. He's in the cage, but there's a gillam, another gillie.
Starting point is 00:52:52 There's another gillie in there. That's what she's thinking about. Yeah. Yes. I'm gonna down one of my other potions, and it's protection from energy, and I'm gonna choose electricity. Okay, fantastic. Lightning. Lightning, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:05 Okay, great. Yeah. Oh my goodness. At this point, she's looking at it. She's getting excited. Nothing's happy. She goes. She pulls the lever again.
Starting point is 00:53:14 Waits. What do you all want to do? Grab all this shit in this stuff. You're grabbing all the shit, you're grabbing it. We're taking it. Cool. So you start, you're going down the hatch. You're leaving.
Starting point is 00:53:23 We need to leave. All right, so they're going downstairs. What do you want to do? I want to lower this thing back into the room below. Okay. So I'm going to the other way. So I'm going to try to do before, but I got confused. Gotcha.
Starting point is 00:53:35 So now I'm going back the other way. So now you're going backwards. It starts to lower slowly. She goes, Gilly, what are you doing? You're going to ruin the experiment. I told you up, up. Now, it's down about two feet. You want to try and slide out?
Starting point is 00:53:46 Yeah. Dex saving term. Okay. Or dexterity check, because you're just doing it on your own. 17, plus I still have passed without a trace since it's dexterity, so 27. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:53:55 So you roll, you see him roll as quietly as he can through the little hole, the little gap that you've made that's just gnome size. And then I make a sound of like, oh, oh, sorry, blah. Bring up back, just fine, perfect, perfect. And then I pull it back up, right? She's, yeah, she's waiting.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Suddenly there's another crack. Ha ha ha ha ha. You then see, only you, because you, because you're up there. All of you are waiting down below. The arm comes out from underneath the sheet and starts to reach up to pull the sheet off of itself. And it sits up another live gilly man in the cage.
Starting point is 00:54:29 She walks up, she puts her hands on it. She says, hello, hello, my sweet little gilly man. You're going to help me take over the world. Well, that's creepy. Ew. What do you want to do? I want to get out of there. You can start going?
Starting point is 00:54:45 Yeah, I'm just nonchalantly going to just go. OK, starting to walk. Past Spike. Cool, you walk past Spike. Spike, you know, Spike's been watching all of this. He's seen it all go down. He's the only one who's in on the whole thing. As you walk by, she goes, I didn't tell you to leave,
Starting point is 00:54:58 but that's okay, it's a good idea. Go downstairs and help the other Gillyman in the engine, okay? So you go and go downstairs. Cool. And as soon as I'm out of sight, I go. You're all shifted. All right.
Starting point is 00:55:12 So I'm back to normal. Back to normal. Everyone's back to normal. You're downstairs. You got all your loot. We need to go. We need to go. We need to go, we need to go.
Starting point is 00:55:18 We need to go. Did you take gems and gold or just the items? Yeah, we took some gold. Yeah, no, we have all the onyx. Filled pockets. You took everything, you emptied her safe. We emptied her save. Fan, fucking.
Starting point is 00:55:29 Everything, we got everything. Oh no. There was three of us. Now I got to Ricky, we can carry heavy. Boy, are you going to love us. Good, we have to leave, but I immediately open a scroll and I do a scroll of protection barrier.
Starting point is 00:55:43 Which, you're gonna do it right away. Yes, because I'm concerned that someone's gonna come after us. Okay. Is that okay? I mean, you can, it's up to you? You should probably hold onto it. I don't know, I think that's-
Starting point is 00:55:51 Okay, I'm casting it, I'm casting it, all protected. So the way that it works is you're creating basically like a plane of like whatever you want it to be, but it's very tough stuff to get through. So where and how do you want it to be positioned? Maybe we should wait till we get in the water. No, we're gonna do it right now.
Starting point is 00:56:08 Okay, we're doing it right now. And the way I want it positioned is the way to most protect us from whatever monster you have coming. So you create something that, that literally like pastes over the bottom of that hatch so that there's no way to come through the hatch. It's like like thick steel is what it looks like and it'd be like impossible to get through
Starting point is 00:56:27 until this is over. Yes. And then what? And we run. You run. All the way back down to the ballast where you were. All right, you get down there, you do your best job of sort of diving give these ballast. How long has it been?
Starting point is 00:56:39 It's been over an hour. But you are now closer to the surface, remember. Oh right. Oh yeah, so we gotta swim up. Okay, cool. Jumping in. Will we make it? You're in the ballast?
Starting point is 00:56:47 Who was, do you were keeping time? What's the time? It's over in a hour, so we can't do the music. Remember you were using your mind clock? Yeah, no, it's definitely been more than an hour. But we're close to you. This minute. Yeah, and we're just going up.
Starting point is 00:57:02 I have an, um. This many minutes. An expeditious retreat, can I help them with it? Can they grab on to me and I can. Oh, interesting. We can leave you all. I like, great. You all like, you get blasted out of the ballast,
Starting point is 00:57:14 but as you are, you've made like a chain of people. He does his expedition retreat and you all just out into the water like a jet ski just way out. As he's kind of, and he's doing that like from The Incredibles where like his feet do that thing. And so it's just like a jet boat going on. And you can see not too far away is the hull of Captain Harlan's ship.
Starting point is 00:57:36 The storm is still raging but it's died down a little bit. I'm like holding on to your, it's on your back and it like that way. He pulls you up into the ship, you get on it, you come back to relics and rarities with all of your loot and your information. Professor Roundland is so glad to see you all. Oh, look at all this wonderful things you have,
Starting point is 00:57:56 and you have information. This is what we needed. Thank you. Clearly, there is a terrible, terrible plan afoot that we must prevent. Just no more boats. And Chinese. Unfortunately, we have no further information for you, so I wonder, with the short time that we have left, yes. I actually, re-examining the prophecy.
Starting point is 00:58:14 Yes, I was going to say. Yes. Can we work on some of the prophecy? Yes, of what by all means. It seems like we have more information now about this other sister. Very true. And there was something about reanimating
Starting point is 00:58:25 or which one was it? Margosa. She was eating things. So the youngest, swift of thought and devoid of moral. She names herself Akiva, who you have now met. Yeah, we do. The medial, a power bought and honor sold. She names herself Ulu.
Starting point is 00:58:39 That was the end of the letter. The eldest, fright and rage are her chosen trade. She names herself Margosa. Now, of the three items, you found the fire gem, The second item is, born of earth strengthened in fire, honed until its edge is dire. Blessed by holy persons true shall vanquish those who live anew. Which those who live anew might be
Starting point is 00:58:59 the reanimated creatures that she's created. So we need-guiles, the Gillies. So we need some sort of bladed weapon. This is what we could look for. You are correct. You are light years ahead of your time. Yes. But maybe something that is blessed by a priest or something.
Starting point is 00:59:15 I don't know a lot about a lot of things, but I know about the stab, stab. Well, as a team, I must say you all are gangbusters, and I'm so pleased with this, give me the night. We shall search through the compendium and hopefully find something that fits this description.
