The party had just recently completed an extensive quest through the undernark, under dark beneath the dwarven city of Craghammer in which they battled with

mine flayers and Durgaar and eventually a giant crazed beholder that was possessed by an ancient artifact called the Horn of Orcus. Upon defeating the mine flare and making a dramatic escape, thanks to Tiberius, back to their hometown of Imann, they met with the Council of Taldore, which they're a part of to discuss what they should do with this great ancient evil artifact, the Horn of Orcus. The Council discussed it. Most of the knowledge seemed to be that it could not or there is no known way to destroy it. And the best means of dealing with it would be to reseal it in a place where it would be safe,

forgotten, and hopefully never rediscovered. It was decided amongst the council that the safest place to do that is on the distant land of Athanasia, where there is a capital city known in Vasselheim. There, supposedly, is the most well-known, unholliest, and oldest place of Chima's order of worship of the Paladin of Bahamit,

the great Platinum Dragon Bohomet, of which she is a paladin, and supposedly they have a facility or means of sealing it away. And so it was decided that they would send away for a holy container that could contain this evil without any worry of corruption or escape, carry it then via a sky ship over the ocean to the distant land of Authansia to Vasselheim, the capital city, and seal it away. After which they went on a shopping spree to Gilmore's glorious goods met everyone's favorite

Mage Elmore. Item creator extraordinaire. We got, oh. That's right. I want some stuff. Give me stuff. You guys have to figure out

who gets what, by the way. But we have to do this quickly. So bringing us back now. You've completed your purchases. Now as a party decide how to disseminate the items that you've purchased.

And once you guys are ready to take it from there. How many items do we have? Well, they're a bit divvied up right now. I believe Pike is holding onto the sword, correct? And I also have a pearl of power. What's that? That's up for grabs.

Let me see. Never see. I am holding onto a ring of protection plus two and a belt of dwarven kind. Hello, Percy. Oh, hello. Hi. Good to be to join us.

Thank you. I just got off an airplane. Hi. Yes. How was their flight? An airplane. The flight was slightly shorter than the drive here. Oh my god.

That sounds about right. This looks good. Please. Look, look, we got this as a gift from, from, what's his, from? What's his butt has something? It's really good. It's brandy.

It's a really good brandy. I thought it was beer. Sorry, carry on. Just kidding, I'm Bex. I have the anger of life stealing plus one. I'd also like to say how much I enjoy being in Travis's stomach like Kowatu. Nice.

I have a ring of protection plus two and a belt of dwarven what does that what does that do um it gave it gives you a plus two bonus to AC and saving throws while wearing this ring I need that and then I also have the belt of dwarven kind can he say the most amazing thing about it which with the belt of dwarven kind yeah you guys remember this um it gives you a plus two to your constitution modifier um you have advantage on charisma persuasion checks with dwarfs. And you have a 50% chance each day at dawn of growing a full beard.

What? I know. That's amazing. If you are capable of grow, oh, that's right, you guys, you guys tuned out. Yeah, we were here. Yeah, we realize this at the end of the stream. Yes, at the top of the day,

you have a 50% chance each day at dawn of growing a full thick, if you're a full thick beard, if you're capable of growing one or a visibly thicker beard if you already have one. Like Tiberius is the only one that couldn't grow a beard, right? We could all grow a beard, technically. Oh, he could get a little stank.

Can the ladies go? I mean like if our hormones were a little different. Yeah, I've seen some massive she beards out there. Yeah. We can find him a nice lady to date. I think you work out pretty well. And if you aren't a dwarf, on top of this, if you aren't a dwarf, you gain the following

additional benefits while wearing this belt. You have advantage on saving throws against poison, Resistance against poison damage, dark vision up to 60 feet, and you can speak, read in right, dwarfish. What are you doing? I got one too. Hey. I got the manual of quickness of action. Sorcers can wear leather armor.

I'm keeping this one. Sorcercers can wear leather armor? I think, I mean, I just, I bet that they could. Do you guys have a problem if I keep the pearl of power? What does it do? Leathering clock? It only, it lets you use another third spell slot. Third level spell and I figure you guys all have better spells than third level, but I only have up to third level

So it just gives you one more third of my most powerful spell, which is my third level I have a lot of damage and they do usually do a lot of damage with third levels That's fine with me. I'm generally I generally have enough spells You got that ring of protection or you could have the beardy thing Napkin So yes we also got the cold snap leather armor plus two which I was originally thinking for myself but then I realized I actually have decent level armor that gives me spell advantage so I'm good on leather armor I could stand to wear it I have no torso armor I thought are you sure sorcerers can wear I thought

they can throw ropes cloth and leather okay I do mean I just looked it up there I don't know so sorcerers can wear no armor you are wrong I can wear no honor no I have this thing that somebody can use um wait I would just like to say Oh, this is mine. Wait. Thank you. Wait.

Do you have any armor on, Scanlon? I have something. This would bring his, with that and the ring, if you board this in the ring, it would give you plus three to your AC. Oh my God. So that's not about complex. This will give you plus one your AC.

Well, I wouldn't mind how many of my... You have regular set of other armor right now. What is that? Is this better? What does that? I mean, should I get that? Probably. Good do you think.

This is better? Probably. What? Would that give him a plus two to his AC? Would that armor give him a plus two? Is it a cold snap leather armor. This would be leather armor, plus two. It would probably give you an additional plus one

to your AC if you wear it. It's not funded leather, it's just leather. That's what I said, like that. So yeah, your a AC would go up by one. Who wants the belt of Dwarvankind? Grog. What's your constitution right now? I think Pike should have to be.

18? That's pretty high. That's pretty high. I want to grow a fucking beard. I know it's so sad. Someday you'll be a real boy. The only reason any of us want that belt is to grow a beard. Yeah, that's kind of true.

Yeah. I'm not going to lie. I mean, even though there's some very great aspects to the belt. My question is, once you grow the beard, if you remove the belt, does the beard fall off, or do you get to keep the beard? Because then you could just, like, switch it out until everybody had the appropriate amount of facial air. If I had the beard, I would be a random thing. Or does it, like, dissipate at the end of the day when you take it off?

I think that's our wonderful Madmosher's call. I'll tell you, we can hold it until someone else. No way of knowing. So who's gonna take the ring? Um, what's the ring do? Heeliff, I think, would like the ring. I would just like something to help my A.C. What's your A.C?

15. That's pretty low. Mine's a 14. It is now 15 with your new arm. 15. That's good. All right, you take it. I'll just die a lot.

Are you sure? Whoa. No, not cool. I'd feel bad. Actually. I wouldn't. What I was saying earlier. 15.

I'm going to take off the ironstone. You'd look pretty good with the beard. You would look really good with the beard. Well, that shuls it. Well, wait, I thought, I thought Grog was taking the beard. Maybe you guys can switch out sometimes. Frog is taking it. Take it. It's a belt.

We can just, oh, but we have to, like, bind it to us. No, no, you take it. Because Robg doesn't wear our armor either. He gets better benefits. There hasn't been enough in Degov's to actually have taken hold yet. You should keep that, I think. It gives you a bonus your dex. The manual of quickness of action.

It takes 48 hours worth of reading it. Not yet, no. Okay. So I'll have to wait on. I'm starting this. You can read it over time. Like, you know, take a couple hours at each evening and then...

But that means everybody got something, right? Yes. Can we divide it up that way? Can we divide everything out? Yes. The only one who didn't was my brother. No, he got a dagger. No, I have a dagger of life stealing.

Oh, lovely, lovely. And also, Scanlan. and I bring up the iron stone. Oh, yes. Like I was saying before, you ran out of, you kept running out of spells. This allows you to store extra spells.

I propose a friendly trade for the crown that will circlet. What is the hat? Circulate. Is it a circlet? Is it an concentration circlet thing? I think it would benefit you to have a ring, some sort of spell storing in which you've complained about running out of space. Sorry.

Sorry. Sorry. The last. and you wanted it, huh? Few times we've fought. The pearl, yes, I did want the pearl, but what? It's a head. It does with the pearl does, but times three.

What does it do? It allows you to cast a spell into it, up to level three, like three first level spells or up to one third level spell, into the stone, it'll hold it. And then you can just continue on with the rest of the next few days, and you can cast it from the stone. I keep fucking spells, is because I keep casting them out of,

my iron stone. So does that mean on one round I could cast a spell and also activate the spell that's stored in there? It's still an action to activate it. But it just, it doesn't use your current spell slot because you've already struck the beer. Stored in there from a day before. That's the majesty of beer. I've never run out of the spells. People take you seriously. You've got to expose the last two battles and you said, I can't cast this anymore. Where you, you, you could. So it gives me an extra level, level three slot? Essentially, if, if you were to cast a level three spell into it in advance. Or you can cast a like three of those

things that you would use for other deals. That's up to you. It's your, I mean, you have the crown. Let me think about it. Let's think about it and strategize. We'll do this soon. I, I, the three level spells I don't use as much as these. I'm gonna. But, if that's what you'd like,

I would like that very, very much. As backs come back from his mandate, he did. Yeah. Are we done? Are we ready to like do things now? for two weeks. True. That is a true story. It's been sitting going, well, maybe he'll say this.

I don't know. You're like, me on jury duty. You did silence me that time. I had to. You didn't have to. You didn't turn him into a mouse. Yes. A super cute mouse.

I was going to say you didn't turn me back into a mouse. You also abandoned the party in our most dire moment. This is true as well. But he then did get the killing blow. True. Yeah, so if I just come, if I abandon you all and coming at the last minute and just take the last shot, I get all the credit. I like being contrary. To be fair, Noam, I never abandoned the party at all.

I was surveying the situation. My idea was not try whatsoever, so I merely kept to my word. I did not enter the premises, only until I needed to save everyone's life, which is exactly what I did. I'm so sorry. I missed the last part because my... My awesome hat was blocking it. Sorry. Oh, yeah.

That's, it's too big, you'm saying. You should wear it. You still wear Magneto's shit. It's, we'll discuss soon. This is not chlorotus thing, that's a different thing, right? Yeah, that back. Oh, okay, back. Yeah, I have the chlorosa hat.

And we still have that. And it looks wonderful on you. Look like Merlin from Excaliver. Oh, we still have gilmores. You guys have exited Gilmores at this time. Are we standing out on the street, divvying up? random items just asking for people. You guys are essentially in the middle of the thoroughfare

in Abadar's Promenade and Iman bickering over the items you guys are distributing amongst yourselves in broad daylight. Well, I've got a beautiful pearl, so I'm happy. I have a book. All right. Are there any shady carrot goods making a hoist at our goods? Make a perception check.

There's a fellow under that tree. Me? Make a perception? Yes. Busted out those dice. P.F.T. plus. Probably crap. Zero. No. Looking about, I mean, there are a few folks that walk by

and give a strange eye to the seven, nearly eight foot tall Goliath. But nothing beyond what you're used to. Oh, all right. Yeah. As a note, guys, you do have about two days before the holy receptacle arrives. So if there's anything you want to achieve, in that meantime, you're welcome to do so.

Or you can just spend that place relaxing. I'm sorry, Percy, I'm talking. I have chicken. I have some tinkering I'd like to do. All right, what would you like to tinker? Good, that works out perfectly. I would like to try and build a couple things. I have a list.

Arrows, to me, please. It's not all about you. Oh no, arrows are on the list. I have, I wanted to start working on some sort of tasing implement for direct contact. What is he? Tasing? I want to do an electrical charge that I can rev up. He wants to make a Sami's glove.

Okay. There's that. I want to, I have a list of things. How many things can I start poking with in two days? That glove, that's going to be like a week long as ever. That's a week long thing. And even the design phase will take you two days in acquiring materials. Night Vision.

Night vision. Into my current existing helmet. A night vision element or a dark vision, as you put it, that would be more of an enchantment-based. There's no way. Try and pull that together out of it. Not via tinkering. The technological aspects are not, unfortunately,

that's advanced at this time. Like, shades, probably. Probably shade some sun. But actually looking in the dark, that's an actual, more of an arcane. We're, okay, so this boils me down to two thoughts. Two thoughts. This is good. I want to put a slight dent,

a slight dent in the barrel of bad news, to get a ricochet shot so that basically it allows me to, when I shoot a bullet, to also do 1D12 worth of damage to one target that's immediately adjacent to the main target. It's not quite shrapnel, it's a ricochet, but yes, it's basically a shrapnel shot. Like a bank shot. A bank shot.

A secondary lesser damage. Goal back forward. With the bad news, it's going to be difficult to bad news, because the sheer power and force that that gun emits on its payload. Would it be possible with the, if I did it to one of the barrels of a... We could, it could do it. I'd say it would probably up your misfire rate by one. Oh, okay.

So consider that. It totally is, it's doable, but in messing with the barrel, the chamber, and the trajectory of the weapon, there is that slight increase in the possibility of it jamming or disabling. Okay, then I... That's a possible trade-off. With bad news, because it travels so fast, to do that much damage, any sort of alteration, it will either not change the course whatsoever,

or it'll blow up the gun. I'll start the taser and work on some arrows then. That's what I like to do. Airs revival. Okay. I go back into Gilmore's and I ask if there's, if either they or someone else they know can make a specific kind of potion.

Oh, I actually join him. All right, so the two of you walk back in, as they're discussing this. Gilmore is still at his desk. I'm behind him too. All right. I'm sorry, was there something else you require? I forgot to ask.

Hello, Gilmore. Hello. You look particularly perky today. I've had a rather good day, it could say. I was wondering if I could inquire about a specific kind of scrying potion that I would like made for me. It's a specialty item. I don't know if any exist.

Please, do step into my office. And he leads you into the back room beyond the beach. heated curtain. Oh, what is that? Pachuli, I smell? Quite a little student knows you have. I'll be right to, if you don't mind just hanging tight for just a moment. Thank you.

He steps off in the back room and takes about five minutes. Well, he looks around, or while he's gone, can I look around to see if he has any books on how to start, like a potion making for dummies book? Okay. So? Gilmore. When we get excited, I... Well, never mind that. Anyway, I...

I'm looking for a way, a potion that I can maybe drink or use to help me sort of look in on a place that we've been to recently. I could maybe leave a mark of some sort and then... And then use that mark to magically scry into that place. He gives you a long, hard look, contemplating the conversation, and then you see like a light bulb go off in his eyes. He was, curious, you're into some things. Have a dark side.

Indeed. I could probably, if we asked of this, give me a day. I should be able to produce such an item, although this is, I will say, having not been attempted, there comes a warning of possible. side effect. So I would be drinking this potion and it could affect me in other ways. Perhaps.

The funny thing about unproven magic is, well, it's... Unproven. I can give you at least a 90 to 95% guarantee. All right. And how much would such a potion cost me? I would say for the research,

the materials, um... And seeing as how you are indeed sponsored by Gilmore's glorious goods, at discount. 300 gold. A goal. Did I give away my ruby last time? No, you still have it.

You did not. Have it. How much would this get me? Go ahead roll of respiration. Come on, buddy. Oh, I don't have any nice. There you got. I almost gave away mine.

23. That's right. He goes. That's a good one. Oh, 21. Oh. Right. Oh.

As soon as you procure it, he kind of leans forward and snatches it gingerly from your fingers and looks it over in his eyes. Ooh, this is a fine piece. For Trey. Well, if it's, just tell me how much it's worth first. This gem would probably run you anywhere from 200 to 300 gold. Do I sense that he's lying at a...

A good outside check. Yeah, where'd it go? Thank you. Oh, 11. He seems honest. He seems like he's genuinely looking to make a deal. Yeah, let's do it. I'll give you the ruby for the potion.

Very well. But I would love a hefty amount of the potion, not a single use, multiple use. Oh, I can provide for this fantastic specimen. A three use potion? Is that within your realm of... That would be... That would be lovely. Thank you, Guy.

One day. One wonderful day. One day. On glorious step. He kind of rubs your shoulder for a second and it means you outside of the room. Oh, wait. I have a two-part question. I didn't even think you were in there.

I am. Oh. As he storms through the beaded curtain, as he's exiting, I'm sorry, this room is private. Oh, everything's private, I guess. So, I wanted to do... A, how much that ring of walking on water was again, and B, if you knew of somewhere I could have an existing item enchanted just a little bit. Like, make it stronger than it currently is, but not change it, right? First of, the ring that we discussed is our original deal, the price would run you about 1750.

$1,750,750 gold pieces. Should you be interested still? As for, enchantment is a largely permanent process to enhance an existing enchantment is a dangerous task that has a very high probability of ruining

the enchantment that currently exists. Oh, that's good to know. To increase it. Such masters, I hear, exist in the world, but they are very, very dead. or very, very hidden. Yes. However, if you wish to upgrade,

we are more than happy to oblige. No, the ring of protection I have, but this is of one measure. I wanted it by another measure. I don't know how to phrase this in RP.

So, I wanted just be have it more. More critical. More bigger. Right. More, yes. Well,

Perhaps we could have a mate for you. It would take a few weeks, but we could have one waiting. Oh, very good. I would like two names that. All right. Well, you have to pay, I'd say half the price down. How much is your ring protection plus two currently labeled out? Six thousand five hundred.

Man. So six thousand five hundred gold. That's for you all right. Three thousand two hundred and fifty down now. The other half when the enchantment is completed. That was insane. We didn't buy for that much, did we? They haveled it down a little bit. We threw it in, we tossed it in with the deal and stuff.

Stuff is expensive. I'll chill for now. To meet my legs. Very well. Come back if you change your mind. Wait, wait, wait. Did I find a, did I find, like, a book? Did I find, like, a book? Right. All right, we'll get to that now. Go ahead and roll an investigation check.

18. All right. Asking around some of the employees and kind of keeping an eye about, There are a few books on herbalism, how to find and retain the potent elements of various material components found in nature. Also, there are some bits of information about how to extract materials from natural creatures, meaning monsters, beasts, both natural and magical, how to remove and preserve safely elements of their organs and things that can be used in various alchemical compounds and or potion. There are no books specifically in the process of brewing, but that is one of the key components to it is being able to acquire

those elements. So I take those books. How much are those books? Well, it's a single book that contains everything about the herbalism and a book about the extraction of creature components. So I take that book. How much is that book? Two books. How much are these books? You inquire with the employees.

Uh-huh. These books are marked currently to 25 gold apiece. They are second printing, but hard to find. Do you wish to purchase? Yes, I'll take both of them. Right, let's get out of here. 50 gold. Mark off 50 gold.

Answer Tome's back. Also, did I talk to Gilmore about potion classes? He said he'll take it under consideration. He gave you a look of like, hmm. Like maybe. Okay. We need time. It's tough to tell.

Without taking too long on it, I was also hoping while we're in town. So that armor that we stole from the big rhinoceros monster, what was kind of in the Durgaar Castle, remember when he bused? Oh, the bullet. Yes, the armor that we took from him. Is there any way I can find a blacksmith that can maybe upgrade trinkets armor with that? Ooh, that's an interesting thought. All right, I see F, go ahead and make an investigation check.

Okay. Okay, oh, oh, all right, all right. Here we go, pick wisely. I'm using the new fancy ones, so don't fail me. 20? 20. Easy enough, after asking around town, you managed to find a few individuals speak. There are two armor smiths, one that apples in both blacksmithing and armistmithing, one that specifically is an armor smith who focuses in strange materials, mostly ornamental,

but has a strong history and past in warfare and honing those skills towards the use of actual battle. You find it it's a dwarven woman by the name of Karen, and they send you to her facility. And it's a very, very small, almost a hovel. But when you approach the outside, you can immediately smell, there's like the strong scent of iron, almost like a, almost like a sulfur and different other chemicals that are used when you're folding metals and making composites. You open the door slightly and it's very darkly lit on the inside. There's just, there's the heat of the forge. And you see this very sturdy, muscular dwarven woman standing there with her hair kind of graying. It's pulled back in a very tight bun and she's wearing leather apron with her sleeves rolled up and she's in the process of hammering down on a piece of metal over anvil.

Just ping, ting. Does she have a be-hying? You see there's probably a bit of scruff showing at it at you very her chin, but not a beard per se. She probably hasn't kept up. She isn't seen her dirty. She's just in the middle of her work. It's almost as in.

Stop us for a second. Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see you answer. Oh, good. Can I help you? Karen, yes? I am Karen. Don't mean to interrupt. You looked very busy here.

Let me just finish. All right. And she kind of gives you nod and then goes back into her mode for a second. And she makes you wait for a good six minutes while she finishes hammering out this piece. turning in and rotating on the edge of the anvil, handring it into the smooth kind of, it looks almost like a puldron, a curved point for a shoulder. And then eventually she quenches it in the trough,

sets it aside with a tink, tink, puts her tools down, takes off her big leather gloves, wipes her brow. And we see where she wipes it. She wipes the sweat off, but leaves a big old grease mark where once was cleaning us, oh, sorry for the wait. So what can I do you furrier? I've heard rumor that you are a very palliative blacksmith. Well, hi, hi.

Depends what you're looking for. What you're putting to furnish. I have quite an interesting proposition for you. Well, like interesting. To have some material you've never worked with, I don't know. Oh, here we go. Would you mind stepping outside for a moment?

Get some fresh air? At this point specifically, she goes from extremely welcoming to a very nervous, untrusting look. Believe me, you'll want to see this. Go ahead and make a persuasion roll. Why didn't you wink first? You'll want to see, babe.

Thank you. I don't know, that's the problem with having too many. I'm rolling my trinket dice since it applies to shrink out. Oh, there you go. That wasn't good. Nine. Okay, shroll it two. Yay, yay.

All right, all right. Sorry, I don't mean to have had a few encounters in the past. But yes, outside, and she kind of walks out. Now she walks out with you, you can see, she kind of reaches over and grabs a she's short sword and just keeps it at her side. No need for that, darling. Drink it!

Mm. Your armored bear comes looming around the corner. At which point, she kind of goes for the sword instinctually. Take a guard at his armor. Oh, that's not bad. That's not bad at all. She walks up to him and kind of like,

carefully, like doesn't want to touch him. He's friendly, don't worry. Trinket, of course, leans forward. Licks the side of her face, cleaning off some of the grease stain on her side of her cheek. Oh, that was unexpected. All right, friend, one.

That's her. Trinket, is it? Yes. You're a nice one, Trinket. She kind of rubs and starts her up inside of his cheek. He likes you, I can tell. Shirts looking at the armour. It's, well, nice, functional.

It's taken a few dings. It's seen some battle. Yes, it has. I'm hoping to protect him a bit more, however. I could see that. Who made this? She looks around and she pulls up. Oh, this was the mark of Western.

This was made over in that south. Yes, yes. You could do best ones. Oh, they're not the finest over there. They're functional, but not the finest. This is for a parade, or is this of actual combat? Actual combat. Beauty, not my concern.

All right, all right. And what material is you looking for? Well, as you slam down as, like, awkward, still somewhat wetting places, but mostly dried out blet hide that you guys carve from it. And it is like big pieces of plate, scales, with sections of leather underneath kind of interwoven. It is part of it, a large behemoth of a creature.

As you slam it down, she kind of steps back for a second. And you, what manner of creature did this come from? A very large one, actually. Boa, a bull. Bullette. That one. Oh, I haven't seen one of those found itself to the surface in quite some time.

It wasn't on the surface. We're a bit of adventurous, if you want to know. She gives you this long... Look, goes, what... Right, right, adventurous. Of course, sorry, didn't mean to say fin. You've probably heard of us, Vox Machina. And she stops for a second and goes...

Actually, yes, I have for her to be. Windsor's Christmas Festival, not long ago. Ah, that is correct. Right. She's got it. Right, right. Well, then, it's a pleasure to have you. Thank you.

An establishment of business. But let hide. I have not worked with this. She leans down and starts, like, messing with it, seeing a pliable it is in section. She goes, there's enough here to read you most of the armor, perhaps not most places, but what's, I could minimize spatial use of it and possibly get most of the main plates gathered.

I can work with this. Nice. I can work with this. It'll take me a few days. unfortunately it is a rare material right oh is it's two days enough two days yes I could I have to charge you more because I'm not gonna get much sleep at that right understandable how much is a bit more are you providing the materials that definitely cuts the cost significantly for my time of work and lack of

sleep we will send many many customers your way so can I put my personal brand on us of course well then you're out there Trinikers and Sponsorickin' us. Okay. Oh, 500 gold suffice. How about 450? Make a persuasion bill. Oh, vex.

I must use dicker. Because I want to... Yeah. That would be... Twent... ...t26. She looks over for a second. Looks the material and you can see in her...

And you can see in her eyes, there's this kind of interest in working with this material. This, you know, never right touched or worked with this. She goes, $4.50. Deal. Shake hands. See you in a few days. All right.

Two days. Two days. All right, she leans out, picks up, but this is heavy material. Like for the most part, carrying it around was his job. Yes. The bag of holding. She lifts over one shoulder, heads right into the workshop.

Thank you, Karen. Stop for a second, turns out. Um, do you mind if I take that armor in the meantime. I figured I could use that as a base pattern. Oh, of course, yeah. We use it together. Trink it. Can't take about 15 minutes. She always take the armor off. She leads all into the shop and then she goes, all right, see in a few days. Closes her door.

Patrick, it's all naked. Yeah. Trink it, look at you naked. So cute. All right, sorry that took so long. Hi, you're back. All right. Shall we start adventuring then? Where? There's two days to hang out. Oh, we're not leaving yet? No.

I was mostly spacing. facing out last time. Anything else you want to achieve in these next two days? You're welcome to do it now, or we could go ahead and say, relax, you take time and fast forward to the two-day period. I'll do my tinkering rolls and then I'm good. All right, so first you wanted to work on... I want to work on a rappling hook arrow that attaches to the unending,

the ties to the unending rope so that we can actually, something that'll pierce heavy stone and just in this anchor. Okay, all right. I have a... Like Batman. I don't know why Batman's on the brain right now. All right. Any reason? I have a, I have the, um, uh, a, uh, a ring of the wind, uh, that I never, I made,

but I have not enchanted yet. Can I enchant that in two days to make another one? You know, one of the speaking areas? Um, there, there was the existing functional ones, but like, over the last, since the, but I gave them out, I've only had time to make one extra one, but I have to enchant them also. Yeah. I would say you can begin the process of it. You get it halfway through.

It would take you the better part of a week to complete each year, which is what it did before when you first made it. But you can begin the process. You definitely have your laboratory now in Grey Skull Keep, and that definitely gives you, that gives you a bonus to the roles you make to Enchant it. Can I start it, and then if we leave,

I can have one of the, like, the help. You probably have a Laura come and finish it if you wanted to ask her. Oh, okay. Oh, cool. She does anything better to do. I'll start that, I'll start doing the one that I made. Okay.

Do you take the time? You need an enchantment on that? All right. Go ahead and make your first tinkering. All right. First incering rule is 13. 13. Okay.

So you, in supposed to an actual arrow, what you're doing is you take an extended crossbow bolt. You blacksmith onto the end of it, extending it to what would be an actual full-scale longbow arrow length, but it is a thick metal rod. From there you create the grappling hook end to it. end to it, and what would be essentially it's thin, and then once the rope is pulled or tugged from the back, it retracts the front part to extend it into a grappling hook. Yeah. You get through the process of creating the rod,

and you sketched a few ideas for the actual portion of the end of the arrow that would extend into the grappling hook portion. Go ahead and make a secondary roll. 12. 12? Okay. You're having a... This is including your tinkered bonus. Just proficiency bonus.

You're a good chance you bonus. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. So you start having a little bit of a problem with the mechanism. It keeps sticking and having a hard time actually, you know, retracting or springing from the arrow point. It takes you a little more time than you anticipated with it. Go ahead and make a final role. I'm going to inspire him before he makes this role.

All right. With a little inspiration song or something. So Scanlan comes down into your workshop, underneath. Grace Gall-Keep, you hear a fine little ditty to inspire you in your work. Whoa, I hear you're tinkering. Whoa, please do it well. Take my hand and you'll tinker, I swear. Whoa, please do it well. Tinkering on a...

I was about to give you a D6, but that'll be the full D10. So on this final roll, go ahead and what'd you roll initially? Oh, I actually don't even remember, but it wasn't that bad. Sorry, God. All right. So that's 18 18, okay. 18, okay. 10,000, 10, 10,000, 18, okay.

With that bit of inspiration going in your little Scanlan-based soundtrack, you managed to figure out that some of the gears were sticking, you recut them out, inserted, and like butter, it sticks out and retracts. Cool. one grappling arrow completed for material costs. It came to about 100 gold. And then I want to try and recreate the exploding arrow is my last little thing I want to do.

Okay, okay. Guys, we gotta go back and get our money. Yeah, oh my gosh. That's what we gotta do. Yeah, it's like 30K sitting for us. Can we just send our minions to get it? Like our servants? Back says something like you'd like that.

What? Yes. Pike, dear, dear friend, you hear me. Oh, yes, I know. We're getting to that. I was wondering if maybe you and I could swing by at the Temple of Serenra and fix my... Serenra? It's Serenra.

Is that fine? It's the Renri. I'm a great. Don't an atheist, darling, but I know that my foot doesn't fucking work. Well, I know. And I was going to say, the past couple days, I think I've spent in the temple trying to sort of reconnect and really just, you know, tune in and apologize. and confess. Oh, that's right.

And you return to this temple, the same temple you yourself were resurrected after falling to the treachery demon, not but eight months previous. Returning to that place, especially after your recent journey and near brushes the death again, it's a very solemn experience, and there's a part of you that just feels internally cold,

both returning there and because of your strangely fractured connection with Sarah and Ray since you delved into the underdark under dark and kind of tapped into your darker sides and traveling abroad on the ship. You take approximately six hours out of each day to just go in silent prayer and reach out to her. I will say, go ahead and make a wisdom check.

Okay, 22. At the end of your second six hour period of intense intense communion, Sterling, Sterling. Sweat pouring down your body. The room itself is pretty cold, but for some reason, your body is just growing more and more intense with heat. You feel yourself internalizing all of the steps and missteps that you've gone through over these past six, seven months,

trying to find your path, rediscovering yourself and what you have to prevent yourself or any of your friends from following the fate that you once did, and explaining to her that your love never left, and that this was all with the ultimate purpose of achieving her ultimate purpose as her instrument, and you wish not to cross that again. if there's any way to redeem yourself to let it be known to you.

At the end of that period of time, you feel, since you've lost that connection under dark, that thread reconnect. The warmth fills you, and the sweat stops as your entire body seems to be humming with energy. And for a brief second in your face, in your eyes, and your vision, you can see the beautiful, gold, gleaming, fire-wreathed head of Sarenrae smiling at you,

and she reaches down and touches the side of your cheek and says, Be forthright, be grand, burn bright and beautiful, and I shall always be at your side. With that she releases your cheek and vanishes. The vision gone in the temple and you can see about two other clerics that were in their silent muttering prayer

have gone quiet and they're both staring at you with the look of like, what just happened? You looked down at your holy symbol and that one giant fissure that had cracked has resealed itself. Oh, man, that was my new special, Celtic die that whoever said this to me. You celebrate by shitting on a bed.

That's a cultural known thing, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, well, to start things off then, how is Liam's foot? It's going okay. I'm so sorry. Who? Who? Who's this Liam goes to me? What am I saying? I mean, how is Vax's foot? I'm not sure who they're in.

As you step out. That's great, Ashley, thanks. Ashley, thanks. As you step out of the central chamber of the temple of Serenrae, Vax has been waiting there for a while. I wanted to actually ask for your aid in this. As you see her step out of the main chamber,

Vak, she has a look of serenity in her face you haven't seen in quite some time. Is this the moment? Should I take my shoe off? Yes. Don't do it. Get my shoe off. Don't do it.

Here, just sit on this rock, okay? Take off your shoe. for the first time you're safe and he does It's disgusting I'm proud of you right now and so it's still

you know it feels strong but it's you know it itaches itaches me it how should I say it it irks me still perhaps maybe you could give it one more try today you seem to have a bit of a glow about you

well 30. 30 points of healing. As you're saying this and you're kind of stuttering this out, she kind of goes into a singular trance, clutches her holy symbol with one hand, and reaches out and grabs your foot with the other. Her hand almost burns at the touch.

This is something you instinctively pull back on, but her grip is like an iron vice, and you cannot release yourself from it. And as she just intensely focuses forward, you can see this glowing divine energy transfer from down your forearm into your foot. Fear reaches you suddenly, because you don't understand the divine. I know you've seen some crazy things.

This is a little worrying. You've seen some shit. I want you to go ahead and make a medicine roll with advantage. It feels like icy hot. Ye old icy hot. Sense of Vix vapor rub hits your system. Another one you get advantage. You can do it again.

That better. 24. 24. As she releases her grip on you, the energy fades. Her eyes tend to come back into that natural, soft pike image you're used to. and looking down at your foot, you can see any noticeable sign of scarring damage is completely gone.

Your foot is whole in fact. And your nails have been painted red. And you know what? It doesn't smell is bad now. I'm not going to stick my foot in my sister's face. Yay. Thank you. I'm going to miss that bed.

It doesn't even smell bad anymore, so thank you. Well, not so fast. Percy, yes. You have time probably to tempt three arrows. I'm gonna try for three exploding arrows. And I've got one before. Yes, you have, I know, and I can keep keeping that in mind. Thank you.

Materials per arrow will cost you 50 gold. I'll give it to you. All right. So 150 gold for materials. You have your goggles on. I won't even haggle with you, Percy. I'll just give it to you. I mean, well, you know, you know what I mean.

No, I mean. I certainly do. I know exactly what you mean. Yes. That's going a bit beyond winking. So coming off of the hive, now I'm nervous. Coming off the high from hitting your grappling arrow, you sit down, you're alone in the middle of your workshop.

It's hot in there. It's subterranean, you have the globe, your candlelight around you, you have your goggles on, your blacksmith leather gloves on, and you're just tinkering with the delivery method of these small concussive arrows. Go to make your first roll. 18. 18.

18. With deafness, you rapidly complete the first arrow, wrapping up the powder charge, the impact point, and the arrow itself waited to be fair and balanced to be flung from a longbow. Make your second roll. Like Fox News. 15. 15.

Second arrow. Takes a little longer, but you still manage to keep the flow going, completed fine. Third and final roll. Come on, Percy! Natural 20. Oh! That's an extra special arrow.

Not only did you complete this in record time, but the arrow itself looks beautiful. It could be a display case item. Does it do extra damage? You'll find out. Do I specify? But I would mark that arrow separately from the other two. You would mark it.

Mark it as two exploding arrows and one exploding arrow with a star next to it. Okay. I'll do that. All right. So you have a grappling hook arrow, two exploding arrows and one exploding arrow with a star. Come here, you beautiful bastard.

I'm getting to kiss everybody in this game. I'm like, I'm already made my way through siblings. This is getting me. I should have. All right. I'm just so mad. All right. I've been to that party before. I've kissed the twins. Well, thank you. All right. Any other business you guys wish to? No, there's a tavern nearby. It's just a quick, quick question.

There are many taverns. The one you know the best is the Laughing Lomia, which you guys previously stayed at. Is it the biggest one? It's pretty large. It's pretty large. I'd like to walk to the Laughan Lombia and knock the doors open and as loud as I can go, listen up!

I want to know if anyone has seen any Goliath wandering around these parts. Aside from me. Do you show you a conversational persuasion or through intimidation? Because there are two ways you can go with the Scrolet. And you're wearing the belt that makes you extra persuasive.

Oh, per-suitous. There's only with dwarves. Yeah, well, maybe there's some dwarfs hanging. There might be some dwarves. So, how you do? Okay, make persuasion rule. Can I be with him? Was there also a grappling arrow person?

Sure. Okay, I'm with you, Grog, just watching. I'm still enchanting. Possibly or use them. Can I go read my own bosom book? I got a four. Ah. With the belt.

This is... You, I'm sorry. I wrote a giant pubic mane from the bell. Enchanted Merkin, plus two. You got to check your balance to dice, man. All right, so, as you burst in and shout this to the group, everyone can it stops and turns and looks? And it goes right back to drinking in their conversation.

There appears to be no immediate reaction. Can I jump up? I jump up on a table and I say, listen you motherfuckers. My friend just asked you a fucking question. Now fucking answer him. Or I'm going to kill every last motherfucker. One of you?

I listened to him. He meets it. Can you do that? You get an intimidation? Yeah! Yeah! Is this a 20? Come on, Sam.

Yeah, please be good. Come on, Scanlan. That would be a 30. Oh, good life! Oh, wait, no. Amazing. Yes, 28. I added wrong.

28. 28. Oh, well, that makes the difference. So in an unseen display, the Goliath storms into the bar makes no impact. yet the tiniest gnome jumps onto the table like a ravenous wolverine, frothing at the mouth, his wild eye staring about the dark interior of the laughing

lamiya, all the patrons at the table around him. You can see, lean back in fear, caught off garbage this entirely, one man holding a drink just drops it and shir, shatter on the ground. Everyone gets quiet again, but stays quiet. Even the small band playing in the far corner, you're like, discordant sound as all instruments break to a halt. The dancer stops, the whole room is dead silent.

point a nearby halfling you can see is kind of unkept kind of farmer tan looking fellow looks up and he goes oh no thank you for your forthrightness and honesty at which point a hand claps your shoulder you look over and there's there's a human there bearded older man in his 40s his hair trimmed very very short kind of crew cut almost he's wearing It looks like a patchwork scale mail almost, like mostly leather, but there's a lot of chunks of scales put around it, and he looks scarred

and weathered, and he's... I've traveled this land quite a bit, and I've heard the roving bands of Glyas been attacking folks up north in the trade wraps. I haven't seen any near him on, but where, occasionally you'd hear of the mountain folks staying up north, it appears they're getting brazen and wandering southward.

I haven't seen any myself, or I've a friend of mine. they had an encounter once. Lost half his traveling crew. Had to bury in Mount World. It was terrible. Sounds awful. You said up north, how far? Just in the silver coat runway.

It was south of Craghammer, on the way to Western. All right. Anything else you'd like to know, Grog? No, killer. Thank you for your troubles. Here, let me buy your drink. I'll take that. And he goes over and walks you to the bar.

Thawson McGold, he gets to Zeylon. Zeylon. You know, I've always shared on Namesk, but today, I think you've represented him well. You, my friend, have a good taste. All right, so. Grow a beard tomorrow morning. Okay. Okay. Okay. All right, so, we'll say over the period of two days, go by, Grog what was the percentage on your 50% chance go ahead and roll a percentile dice oh we've never done one of those in four a 20 no no it's a 10 ciders there should be one that has double digits and one that has single

or you can just do so both of them yeah just one just one just one right roll 60 16 then roll another one oh double zeros four one hundred that's a 100 well yeah there was a 60 and that was for the second digit So you roll the 60. Okay, okay. All right, so over the period of the next morning, you wake up, excited and check, smooth as a baby's bum. Ah.

Shit. I know. However, as the two-day period comes to an end, you guys acquire early in the morning, that morning as you finish your breakfast, there is a messenger comes to the front of Grey Skull Keep, delivers a summons to the Council of Taldore. It notifies you that the package has arrived at the council.

Very, very quick, to the point words, not very verbose, kind of in the idea of keeping it vague and secret, but you know what they need. Do you think it's the model plane I ordered? I think it is, yes. Probably not. Oh. Oh, just a guess, oh.

Well, should we go? Yeah. So Markdown, you spent two or four days of enchanting on that second year, and you can get back to that if you managed to find yourself to some sort of a laboratory elsewhere, or you can return to here. The baronitor.

Can we stop at a little 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. 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.

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 Quint says all the wardrobe staples you need for spring. 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 gotta 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% percent 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. 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 wash denim shirt.

You can inquire.

And do she have helpers there? Do we remember? No, she was just herself. It was just herself? She runs it herself. Okay, fine. In the last two days have I gone back to Gilmore to pick up my item?

You got back, your item was completed. Excellent. Let me go ahead and... What kind of potion did you get? All right. It's a potion that, when combined with, when consumed, can allow me to leave a mark of some sort that possibly I could use to,

have visions of what is in the area. Ooh. The mechanics of which I would not like to get into at this moment. So he gives you the potions. It was a curious endeavor, but I think you would be happy with the results. Any chance to talk to you, Gilmore, leaves me happy beyond compared.

Oh, stop it. Flatter. It will get you a... You have an erection for more than 24 hours. Did you get that potion? Did you get that potion? until you can spy on Pike when she's naked. I am offended and terrified at the assumption

that I would sink so low as to spy on my good friend and future wife Pike when her pantaloons are down. Not a little hard. How dare you? How dare you?

I never. Have I ever spied on a member of our current party? Yes, you have. The current party? No. Yes. Okay. Oh, no.

I didn't know. I didn't. Diberius, can you, um, bamfuss? I just wanted to make sure you remember. Yes, I do. It's a, uh, kind of a, uh, I can burn this back here when I'm there. Brackish, purple color and it's something.

I have to put purple gray. Purple gray. Okay, I've got it. Great. Thank you. You go back to Karen and indeed the armor is completed. It's interesting. It makes Trinket look like a roly-poly almost. Oh, that's so cute. It's these overlay giant gray scales that overlap in an armored sections. And you would imagine if she wanted to roll in a ball and it would look adorable. But yeah, it's the armor's completed.

You really, really want Trinket to be a girl. I don't know why I got on my head. I don't. I don't. It's just, you know what it is? You know what it is? It's because my bird I thought was a boy for the longest time when we found out of bird was a girl and so I got used to transitioning to she

when I talk about animals since then. Right, I apologize. Trinket is a boy. Trinket's boy. And maybe you can roll into things now. It'll be awesome. Can you roll? We'll try it enough to look.

Here's are known for the rolling capabilities. He is a special bear. How much to drink it weigh again? Like 600 pounds? He weighs a lot. Call it a bear roll for a. He's getting heavier by the day. Barrel, bear, bear,

it's like, is 800 pounds? A little bit of a grade. He's having a pound. He weighs more than rock. I can fastball special. Fesbawes special trinkets. So the benefits of fast special. Spare special.

Uh, Trinket acquires an additional plus two. Trinket's armor class. Yay. Yeah. The previous armor. Yay. That's awesome. Oh, that's awesome.

Oh. That puts a bit too. 20. Yes. That's fantastic. Trinket. That's really good. Also, Trinket has resistance against non-magical bludgeoning damage.

Cool. Awesome. So if anyone attempts to go after Trinket with a giant hammer or something that is a bludgeon-type damage, a giant maze, if I ever attacked Trinket with something that seems bludgeoning and you say, uh-uh, is that bludgeoning? Call me on it, and it could be reduced by half.

What if someone tries to- So if I did try to roll him into something, it wouldn't hurt him because That would technically be bludgeoning. Syria. Hitting a wall, Trinkin would be like, all right. What if someone tried to hit trink it with a salmon? That's also bludgeoned.

That's a different, an arcane type of damage of four times. Like fire, lightning fish, it's the whole thing. Let's go see the council. Let's go, all right, to the council. Did I learn anything from my herbalism book? The book, what the books are is you keep them with you. And if you wish to,

If you wish to reference them while taking any sort of herbalism role, they will essentially give you a momentary bonus to it. You'll be able to double your proficiency bonus for any roles for herbalism or to harvest any pieces of a creature. Doe. Keep that in mind. Doe. Cool. Okay. All right.

Let's go. Let's go to the council. Huh? Are you proficient in herbalism? Um. Or medicine. medicine, I guess it would be not, sorry, herbalism is... I'm not herbivism, sorry, it's all the systems.

I'll say nature, be nature. I'm front too many systems, too many games. So we'll say, for you're proficient in nature? Yeah. So you double your proficiency bonus on any nature roles to do either of those things. Okay. Keep that mind. All right, so you guys head to the Cloud Top District

towards the palace in the center. You ready to say something right? Do you want to talk to Alura while you're here or not? No, okay. You should talk to her. Talk to her. Why? She has no interest. She looks really pretty today. She won't have any interest if you don't talk to her.

It looks like she put some... I'm sure Lady Kimo can satisfy any needs she has. I think they're just friends, darling. Oh, Randall. You don't want to look back and regret what she didn't say. Go too short. Say what you need to say. Say what you need to say.

I mean, we can stop by there. I only have a question. It's nearly across the street from the palace. So you head to the ivory tower. You go ahead and you take the giant circular knocker on the door, hit it a couple times and eventually a lower comes. This time in what looks like more comfortable robe. She was kind of cut off guard.

She has like a, I guess, a big, called a Terry cloth. There's some sort of like big fuzzy material. Her hair is a bit disarray. She's comfy. Who's the road? Oh, hello. Greetings. I'm sorry.

I wasn't expecting company. What time is it? At this point in time, it's probably about, I'd say, 11 in the morning. Oh, she's a late sleeper, I like it. On like a Sunday? Seventhiel? Sure.

Roughly. Yeah. Okay. Sunday. Sunday, yeah. Sunday, how complete you should. We were about to depart on another adventure, the adventure and whatnot. And I was working on an enchantment on this particular

last hour. Oh yes, yes of course. It's an enchantment that's usually finished enough. I was wondering if in our absence, your spare time you could probably put some time into finishing the enchantment while while still away. That should not be a problem. I was intending to complete the circle teleportation markings that I had promised you within your keep in your absence. Oh. just waiting there as well. I could do both fine there.

Thank you so much. It would be my pleasure, tapirings. Is it? Oh, well, for, okay. I'll bid you here for farewell, and I'll do press dissertation and the local flower. I'll get it to remember like it. For your trouble.

A purple dandies, it's called, it's like a star-like purple flower. projects itself from your hand, and it toward. You see she kind of like puts her, hand, her face. Like a second. Thank you very much, Tiberius. I appreciate it. You're welcome, I appreciate it.

That touches your shoulder and gives you smile, and then best of luck, return safely. There is, we've been here too short to leave so soon, so don't stay long, please. Oh? Poses to the door. A shaky shoulders, look at you. Who knew?

Oh, no. Do you want to go steady, if so, check this? Do you like me? Yes, no, maybe. All right, you guys make your way to the palace, back to the council chambers where you met not the two days before. The entire council has not been summoned to this. It's just about half the folks there. You see the actual sovereign Uriel is not present.

The individuals that are there, however, you have Toferbratoria. Tofur Britoris, the female dragon-born paladin, is present. Seeker Assam Emring is present. They are both in the room as well as, and you notice this immediately as you walk into the green meeting chamber, there is two envoys that you haven't previously met. Two humans, one male, one female, dressed in silver and blue robes,

waiting patiently with their hands behind their backs, And beside them on the ground, you see what looks like a large cube, about maybe two feet by two feet. It's smooth, like a chrome-like silver, the entire construct of this cube, with two looks like chain like handles on each side of the box. And there was a very finely carved sapphire inlaid pattern of design all over this box. It looks very ornamental and like it was a painstaking process to craft. You gather immediately that this probably is the container of which was sent for, from Vasselheim. As you get closer, you notice the carvings almost have like a snowflake like patterns. It's very geometric and perpetual, almost a fractal that continues throughout the entirety of the outside of the box.

It's very intricate and beautiful. As you step into the room, immediately, Tofor stands up and says, Ah, they have arrived. Good, I'm glad you all could make it. The envoys have arrived with the container for the horn, and I believe they are eager and ready to take you as their guards to see that this evil is writ of this land forever. Envoice, and she extends her hand. They both step forward. The man young, but very soft in voice and very stern and and military almost. Hello, I am Scarborough Vorak. I come under the Platinum Dragon

and will be escorted along with you and our delivery. As he turns to the female steps forward. She's older, probably in her 40s, long, fine hair, brown that kind of rest just past her shoulders. Her features are very, very fine. You can see almost like there is elven blood in her, but not completely, similar to your half-elf compatriots.

She steps forward, her piercing green eyes hit the group immediately, and she goes, hello, I am scar bearer, Desona, also under the platinum dragon, and will be escorting you on this mission. They both step back towards the box in a very ceremonial way. Everyone kind of looks to the rest of you. Hi, nice to meet you. Time to name, Desona. What?

Was it Vorac and DeSona? Dissona. I'm Scanlan, I'm sort of the de facto leader of the group. That is not true. I am Tiberius Stormen. Hello, nice to meet you. My second. Yes. I won't the produce yourself. Oh.

Percival Fredrik Strang Kawaski Vamuza de Rola the Third. You've called Percy. They call me Percy. The group. Hello. Hi, and you'll be accompanying us on this arduous journey to the North. Where are we going? Vasselheim. Northwest, in the region of Authanzia.

Oh, yes. On the continent of Issylra. It's quite a ways. Are we taking a sky? We're taking an airship of some sort. Yes, a sky ship is to be provided. They look at the council, and the council nods themselves. And you can see a secret emering kind of sets forward.

Yes, yes, a sky ship will be provided, waiting for you at the Skyport here in the Cloudtop district. We're just awaiting one more. As he says that, the door opens again. You can see Lady Kima steps in. No longer in the gold armor that she had found scavenged from the interior, she's now dressed in proper, silver and blue inlaid plate mail. Who is it?

Lady Kima. She's wearing the same colors as the two end, as you can see now, just the silver and blue theme of Bahamette is very much on display in this traveling crew. Sorry I'm late, I had to get ready, and she kind of You look wonderful, Lady Kepler. Yeah, you look wonderful Lady Kepler. Thank you, thank you.

Quite, quite. Well, hi. Do we have, and she looks about the rest of the group with a look of somewhat red. Do we have the artifact? Oh, a moment. Were we supposed to bring that? Yes.

The two scale bearers reach over and both at the same time place their hands on the top of this chest. You could see their fingers slip into these small holes in the sides and they lift. and the box kind of scrapes to this high-pitched metal-against metal scraping sound, opening up a chamber on the inside. You can see the interior also has the same similar scrolling carvings and engraving on the inside of the box you saw on the outside.

There is like a slight hum, almost, like a slight vibrational sound coming from the inside of the box. Kimo looks to you guys, expect, like, shall we place the artifact in its container? Oh, yeah, I'll get you. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. Tyberius, if you would be so kind? Mage hand? Oh, yeah. I'll look, okay.

Are we listening up? Yes. Okay. We're putting it in the box. Oh. Okay. So it takes a moment. On the grace of a wee mode.

The use of mage hand in a bag of holding is a very meticulous process, because the bag of holding responds to the thought command of what you're reaching for the moment you reach in with your physical hand. Using as an arcane tether, it's almost like reaching through Jello to get there. so you have to really concentrate to get it through.

Eventually, the mage hand takes hold of something. You feel the tingling of something weighty in the grasp of your arcane focus. And as you lift out, there aloft, you can see the dark, twisted horn of Orcus. As it's removed, this is the first time the council's really seen it at this point, and there's almost like an audible leaving of breath

in the room, everyone at his presence. Yeah, it's pretty horrible. Okay, hold on a second. We're putting this in the container, right? Yes. I'm going to put it inside bag of holding real quick. Back in the bag of holding. I'm going to take off a tiny piece of one of my tickets of tele-scription.

And I'm going to do, I'm going to enchant it. And I want to attempt to do an enchantment spell where I want to put it at the bottom of where I'm going to put the box. And if it's, and if any weight is. lifted from it, I'll know. Like, like, in a, like, if any, if there's an old switcharoo, somehow. God, I so wish we still have the troll dick right now. Oh man.

Because he's the troll dick instead. It is already enchanted. To re-enchant it is a difficult process. Plus, enchanting anything would take time, especially that, which essentially an alarm spell. You could do it, but it would take probably half a day. I think we could trust them. Okay.

Yeah. Okay. Plus adding extra runes in there might jack up, you know. enchantment they already put in the box. That's why it's a tiny piece of paper. Yeah. I think we're good. But fine.

If I can't do it, then I just want to say. Right, right. I'm fine. I'm smart. I was a good idea. They had an alarm spell at your disposal too. That would be with the enchantment space. I don't know if you learned alarm, did you?

Not I do. Yeah, so. That'd be a little different. So I put in the thing. Okay. As the horn gets lowered into it, you can see the ruins on the inside of the box begin to glow and come to life with this, this soft,

golden, yellow hue, and the horn seems to be pulled into the box and held a loft in the center. Your mage hand no longer has any sway on it. It's now locked in place, just in the center of the box. No seeming physical anything holding it. It's just kind of locked there. There's almost this creaking sound of air and there fighting between cold and hot. You're like, there's a small physical battle between the temperatures as they take the the lid, and lift it over and seal it shut. The two bears lift the chains on the side and lift the box to in the two of them.

Kima looks back to the rest of you. So, onward. Kima, you're coming with us as well? Damn right. I haven't been back to my temple in quite some time. It would be good to see Ford. Kima, I'm wondering, who do we speak to? Who flies the ship?

I don't know. I haven't taken a sky ship in quite a while. Let's go. I don't, I've never been on. If we could, maybe we should ask if they could stop at Craghammer for a second, we could drop in and get online really quick. On the way back, I think. Once the horn is off the ship,

we can use the airship later on for stuff, which is cool. Like Teddy makes me. What is this airship made out of? Air and ships. And wood and magic. It only floats a couple feet off the ground. It's not that beautiful. Can I communicate...

Can I pull Vex aside for one second? Me? Yes, before we go on this quick journey here, we trust all the people who are sending this along this journey, right? We trust the council? I believe so. I mean, we did a few insight things last time, but we can do some more. No, no, no. No, no. I think we should definitely talk up the new guards and see...

and see what kind of people they are when we're on our way to the street. How about that? All right, good again. Brother on the guy, sister, and the girl. Or Scanlon on one. I'll take the girl. I'll take the guy. Oh, dear. All right. You guys make your way out of the palace towards the northwestern side of the Couthtop district.

And what you've seen is there is one thicker tower that is part of the wall that's your surrounds the Cloudtop District, what is essentially the Bastion of Defense for the inner part of the city. There are these small pillars that hold up the wall. There's one that's very thick, and you've seen only a couple of skieships travel to and from. You don't seem in use very often. Usually for very specific modes of travel or reasonings of these employed. But you can see this large tower that has a spiral staircase in the interior that occasionally lets out in these small windows across the entire length of it as it rises up hundreds of feet to the very top of the that surrounds this district.

On the top, you can see there is a platform that extends outward on both sides of the wall, and you can just barely make out the top of what looks like some sort of a construct there up. As you make your way, following Kima up the long spiral staircase, eventually through, it seems like way too long to be traveling up a very thick spiral staircase. You come to what looks like a trap door almost, like a wooden trap door. He m'y huffs it over, tinge, you hear it slapping the other side,

some of the chains clinking against the stonework, and daylight comes craning into this spiral staircase. You all step out on the top, and immediately your hip up the wind. This high up, there's definitely a breeze that blows through. Your hair being tossed a bit. Whoa! Whoa!

This is crazy! You see roughly, five individuals standing, all in gold and white armor, various types, and they are seemingly employees. They're currently standing, waiting for you. There is one individual that is more adorned in what looks like a captain's uniform, if you will. And above them, with a bunch of ropes hanging

from the sides of it, you can see what looks like a large, beautifully crafted wooden ship that has golden scrolling, this beautiful, beautiful elven-like golden scrolling across the entire underside of this wooden ship. You don't see propellers, you see what looks like two almost wing-like protrusions on the sides of it, almost like two fans that open up that are probably used to guide pitch at the very front of it. You can see what looks to be in the center of the ship.

One large 10 to 15 foot wide blue crystal that is embedded in the front of the ship. And on the back, two more that are currently attached to the back side. These stones slowly rotate in place where they are, and you can see there's this slight hum of arcane energy that seems to emanate from them. You can immediately gather that these three blue stones are what holds the ship aloft. That's awesome. Cool. Silent and beautiful. Awesome.

As you guys begin to walk up towards this ship, it looming about 15, 20 feet in the air, the individual sitting there all of a sudden glanced over a notice and the captain steps forward, reaches out his hand. All right, I'm glad you could finally make it. I've been waiting for you. for a good 30 minutes. I'm Captain Damon. I would like to welcome you aboard, the sky ship, Dira. We are traveling across the ocean. It's approximately a week's worth of travel. We have provisions provided for you. Do you have any questions? Captain Damon? Yes. Just making sure that film. Skipper Vera? Who is it?

Airship. The airship's called Dira. Dera? Dera. On an airship. I go up to Captain Damon and I put out my hand and I say, Captain Damon is a very pleasure is all nine. I was a deckhand on the broken howl and we heard of many adventures that you had and maybe you've heard of the broken howl, maybe you haven't, but. No, but I'm willing to hear.

To ride on an airship. So thanks. It's a pleasure to have you. Keep everything away from the sides. I was about to say I run over and run over to the side and look over the edge. before he says you guys are still on the platform he hasn't led you up under the ship oh oh is the platform have like a ledge i can look over yeah like the empire state building

yeah you can do that i want to do that okay as you do like um you you really shouldn't do she shouldn't do that guys this is really high she really shouldn't do that i don't run up behind her and i grab her shoulders it's scary i climb up on the ledge as you as you're climbing up on the ledge gra comes over and goes boom shoves you and gives you a scare Did you pee a little? Like a little bit. At which point you can see the captain's like, huh, huh.

Don't want to Captain David. Guys, you should try. She can fly. Grug, hold the edge of my shirt. I want to, I want to feel like, I want to feel like I'm flying for a second. Okay. If we could all please make our way to the ship,

we can leave post-taste. He slowly faced palms and kind of glances on Tien goes, a week. A week. Yes. All right. You have flown before. You do remember that.

I know, but I'm always an animal. That's true. The war is over and both sides lost. Kingdoms were reduced to cinders, an army scattered like bones in the dust. Now the survivors claw to what's left of a broken world, praying the darkness chooses someone else tonight. But in the shadow dark, the darkness always wins. This is old school adventuring and its most cruel. Your torch ticks down in real time, and when that flame dies, something else rises to finish the job.

This is a brutal rules-light nightmare with a story that emerges organically based on the decisions that the characters make. This is what it felt like to play RPGs in the 80s, and man, it is so good to be back.

Listen to Happy Sad Confused. on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. As they're doing this, I want to go to the opposite end so I can get like, because this is beautiful the airship, right, and I want to hold out my staff. Are you going to take a selfie?

And I'm going to cast image capture. Of the image capture? Yes. That's the thing? He's in Triconia. We're going to use a selfie to get all of them and the airship while they're doing it. You use your press. to temporarily capture an image of yourself at the edge of the top of the tower.

And the airship is in it too. In doing so, the DMN poses disadvantage on your next two rolls. Oh! No, no, no, no. Nobody likes a selfie stick. It's fine. I just hate selfie sticks so much. What about selfie sticks?

Selfie staff. This is a service. I'll let it pass. It's a temporary image. That's how I could hear all of it. It's a temporary. Look everyone. Oh, it's a good one.

That's a good one. That's a good one. You hear this loud whisper. this whee-hoo kind of whistle. And the captain you see is blowing on this this loud metal whistle around his neck. All aboard! All aboard!

To the dinner of folks, and everyone starts climbing up the ropes that are underneath the ship. If you guys need any help, I can totally help. I can totally do it. Captain Damon, just morbid curiosity. Are you married? Do you have a steady girl? He looks at you.

With surprise, confusion, worry, shakes his head out of misunderstanding, let his ear, what? No, no mind, we'll talk later. All right. He looks entirely side-blast, but he was not expecting that question. Nothing negative, just really confused. So as you all climb your way to the deck, you get on top of it, and it is, the whole deck has this strange kind of slow floating sensation.

And once you're on the deck, you could hear this, this crackling hum around the large blue stones. How did Trinket up if we had to climb ropes? We will say there are ways, and if you ask this question, like how do you get Trink it up? They go ahead. Winches. Let's say, no, the captain kind of gets back out off the ship

goes over to the side. What you did notice in the far end of the platform, there is like a large crane-like structure. They actually raise up Trinket in a small sling-like contraption. You're okay, Donnie. Ooh, ooh, is Trinket's like, you know, it's bad enough trying to fly when you guys were the underguard. Now Trinik, yeah, just paddling in the air, absolutely,

as the crane contraction brings, brings Trinket back over and lowers him onto the deck of the airship, Dira, eventually releasing. Trinke is now on board and looks noticeably uncomfortable and is like in the center of the ship sitting down. That one he's nervous. All right, everyone on board? Yes. All right.

To your quarters underneath. We set out now to Vasily. He blows his whistle second time. All the hands can separate. Most of them go under the deck. Where's the box? Where's the box? Are we keeping an eye on the box?

Yes. You can see now the two scale bears are carrying the box underneath. On the deck you can see there are doorways that lead into various levels underneath the deck of the ship. There was a large cargo kind of lattice section in the middle of the ship where they're putting larger things down below. there is the actual wheel of the ship is on the back end, on the elevated back end

of the entire ship, and that's where the captain stands up to. As the rest of the hands, bring all the ropes up from the side. I wanna stay on top, but I feel like I should go keep an eye on the box and see and make sure. So you guys. But as the ropes are brought up, everyone gives the thumbs up on the sides. He reaches the front of the ship's wheel.

You see he takes something from his neck and places it into the center of the wheel. at which point the three blue stones spark with additional life. The humming gets louder. The ship lurches for a second. It begins to lift upward with this slow, gradual sensation. All of you at once, your stomach kind of gets that butterfly sensation for a second. At which point the captain leans forward.

The actual wheel moves forward slightly, and the whole ship lurches forward, up and over, Iman. And those of you are on the deck, you can look below you over the side, you can see the entirety of Iman from above, slowly drift away as the endless ocean of Osmit. The Osmit Sea comes towards you. Clouds ahead, beginning your trek to the distant land. I can see my keep from here. And you can see. Can we see Kessel Grayskull? You can see it's a little blip from here, and it's slowly vanishing, but you can definitely see the key.

Hi, hi, Griskegol Kee. We've gotten sleep there for two days. I know, bye. All right. Returning back, you guys are now traversing the extended Osmets Sea towards Athansia upon the sky ship Dira. How many, how many days away are we now? I'd say you guys, we'll start in about two days into the journey. I'm going to spend that time reading my book.

Yeah, me too. I'll read books. All right, so you guys take time studying. We'll say you probably have a few more days of eight hour days studying, maybe about eight to ten hours a day if you wanted to take in the reading. I'll also go ahead. Go ahead and... Oh, you have this book, right?

Are you reading that book? I know it's over there. I'm also... You didn't have materials to enchant with you, though. Dope. I'm going to make a few scrolls in my time. Okay. As well.

I wish I make scrolls for, guys. What's handy to have? Oh, well, when you gave me something once, that was really cool. I think that was a spell. It's handy to... Well, yeah, I can make spells into scrolls. Can you make something that if we fall out of the...

guy we don't die. Hey, you know what we always need? You know what we always need? Antipatrify. How to carry trink it on the goddamn carpet. Right? Like, yeah. Well, you guys can shrink him. You have polymorph. Yeah, but we always are like one body short of being able to pile onto the carpet. I'll make, I'll make, like, a little bit extra square footage to the magic carpet. Yes. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.

I'll make a polymorph scroll and give it to a box. What about a steampunk rocket pack for the bear? This is a world of warcrafts. I'm working on it. I'm working on it. How many can you make? Well, I can make, I just put like whatever spells I've learned for the day. I can put those and I think like depending on the level, like a third level spell,

scroll will take me like four to six hours. So the higher the spell, the longer it takes. So if I spend two days, I can probably make four scrolls. Amazing. Four or five scrolls. Yeah. I like it. So I'm going to definitely make a polymorph scroll for you.

Thank you. First, check, we'll have a time process. Oh. Creating a scroll. While he's looking himself. So there wasn't Pathfinder. I am using Pathfinder. Add it to my inventory.

I know we went shopping. I got arrows. I got scrolls. I have a question about Trinket's new armor. It has an area for me to ride on him still, right? Like, the other armor, I forgot to mention it to her. I mean, you can you can. I mean, you can still, there's not like a saddle or anything.

But there's like, the last one had like a divity thing. Yeah, yeah, it's built off of the design of the original armor you had, you had customized. So yeah, that is still there. Is there a bow on this ship, like a front point of us? There is, yes, there is. Pike and I would like to go to the front of the ship and I would like to stand at the front and put my arms out.

And I'm gonna hold his waist. Yes, yes. I'm the Goliath of the world. He fell right off the front. No, I did not. Oh, thank you, bye. I feel like I'm flying. You are, you are.

Look at the guns on that nose. I can spend the days crafting another thing, right? And I just need like whatever that would be. You mean, you mean, you just crafting the jewelry element of it? Yeah. Because the enchantments now that's over there. Correct.

I'm not doing anything. You didn't bring any crafting tools with you for that. It's not, like, crafting jewelry requires specific set of tools. Stuffs and things, okay. Unfortunately, yeah. When you get, when you touch down, you can probably try and find some in your vicinity. But yeah, the journey here, you know.

Airship. What about the... Nade, D.M. Yes. Since Vax has nothing really to prepare ever, and he's in obviously peak physical condition, I'm gonna spend the trip helping Keyleth. And if she needs any, um,

ingredients for what she's doing, I'll get them, I'll hold things up for her, I'm just going to hang out and try to help her get things done. You're so helpful, brother. You can have a little familiar. Scroll making familiar. Not bad, not bad. I thought you were in the Gilmore, darling. I'm hard to pin down.

For the time being, because I don't want to spend too much time with the internet watching me, Skin from the books to find the rules for scroll crafting. That's the best part. I'll save for the time being it'll take you about half a day to make the polymorph scroll. Okay. And the material components that are required for the spells putting into the actual scroll would run you about 300 gold.

Oh, 400 gold, because it's a four-level sport. How much? Level spells polymorph. Four. Four. Yeah, so I'll say four. How much spell do we have left anyway? Well, I mean, I can use my personal.

but we have very little party funds. I have to have a little personal money up too. Should I be different later, but whatever. Through the ship, it's hard to get the materials. It's fine, you don't need to. You don't need to. It's fine. No, I'm gonna do it.

No, I'm gonna do it. No, that's my money's four. Okay. I'm gonna do two, probably more spells. Ooh. All right. And give one to two, two Vex and one to Tiberius. All right.

I'm taking 400 out of my personal. Okay, I'll take 400 on mine. I still have, I have, uh, I'm, I still have, uh, I'm a full of four. All of it. All right. Give me a forehead. Mm-hmm.

I'm spending most of the time up near Captain Damon watching him work. Daymond. He seems very focused, keeping the ship going. He does steer you around one thunderstorm that's kind of rolling by. It takes you on a wide angle around. It's very relaxing. It's a little cold, but it's relaxing. Say, the beginning of day three, as you all are kind of resting underneath the hole,

you're all shaken awake by a sudden lurching of the ship. It just shifts at such a heavy way that you aren't expecting it. All of you are kind of pulled out of your stupor for a second and coming out of your individual rooms to check in on each other and see what it happened. but apparently the ship is or was had some sort of a shuddering physicality to it. I rushed to the box. I rushed to Captain Damon.

What the hell just happened? Also, are you married? All right, so, you rush to the box, and the room, as you go and you open the door that leads to where the boxes, you can see in the room is Kima and both of the of the scale bears, the scale bears,

are there reaching for weapons as the door open, and they see you and kind of relax for a second. Keelew's like, what was that? What was that? I was going to ask you the same thing. I have no idea. I rush out to the bow. I also rush to the deck.

Okay, as you guys are rushing up along with Scanlan, everyone else rush up. You come to the surface, and we're just cresting into sunrise. Like the sky itself is mostly dark on one side, with the blue slowly leading into a bright orange, just yellow to the other side as the morning lightest. starting to slowly crest over the horizon. As you get to the surface, you immediately notice

there are a handful of large winged creatures that are currently harrying the side of the boat. As you step to the surface, you see, one just dives past, you roll fast. You notice as one of them takes off in the distance, it was just a blur of quick moving wings, but as we get us to flap away, it looks dragon-like in its physicality,

but it's smaller than any dragon you've encountered. but it's flapping giant wings and it goes by that screech as it takes up and it looks like there's something on its back. What? You see two to three more of these now starting to dive bomb and you can see the nearest. The rest of the deck hands are up there now with weapons ready and are starting to fight some of these off. Can we use any kind of perception to see if the things on them are controlling them? Go ahead and make a perception check. I get plus two for any dragony things. Good enough. I'm going to

Tiberius, your brothers are here. I don't think I'm associated with these. Oh, okay. 19. Glantz, they're back in the, what did you say? What? 26.

26. All right, between the two of you, you notice, even in this low light circumstance, there appear to be on three of these winged dragon-like creatures, smallish humanoid entities that are on small, almost like leather-strapped saddles that are put on the sides of this creature. And they're clutching onto it, and each one of them is carrying some sort of large spear-like weapon. There is a fourth one in the distance that does not appear to be a dragonoid.

This one appears to be feather-covered in its physical form. I'm going to... There's a big, large one, right? Yes. Which, at this moment, we are going to roll initiative. Can I do a nature tiger? You can. Okay, okay, okay, okay.

I don't know. Okay. I cast blubber for any of that shit. Let me get to see what I already do. I'm just gonna keep rolling. That's the worst finish. I am capable of having it. No.

Do I do a nature roll first or should I do an initiative roll first? Yeah. Sweet. Can I do a nature check first? First, I want to place you guys. So you guys were coming up from below. I would quite... Oh my God, look at the ship!

Whoa! Cool! Look at that! Dude, that's pretty. Look at the crystals! I like, all of our viewers are just looking at our mid-seption. Oh, I've got to turn on Twitch so I can see it. Oh, Liam.

I'll pick you up. I'll pick you up. Don't do it. Ready? You ready? It looks like the crystals are running like 3D in the picture. That? That's amazing. This is look that Java's crew. This cruiser game that came on.

Anybody, anybody? Yes. Yeah, sure, yeah, that. All righty. So. Oh my gosh. Whoa. As you guys come up to the surface, you can see these three entities

kind of swooping around and dive bombing the remainder of the guard and the deck hands that are now currently like haphazard armor on and they're trying to strike at these as they swing by. Let's go ahead and roll initiative, folks. So, I'll take that. All right, so we have 25 to 20. 22. Two.

20. Do what's at their hand up? 20. 20 to 15? 19. 19. 20. He had you.

Got your damn. 17. 17. 19. 19. 17. 17. 17.

Can you sit here? Yep. All right. Bada bha-d-d-d-d-t. 15 to 10? 15 to 10? 15 to 10. 10 to 5.

9. Eight. What did you get? We always get the lowest. We always get that. Yeah. It's not bad for the clerics to go last. That's true, you know.

All right. So top of the. around. Vex, you got this. Okay, I'm gonna do, they're all far away from each other, aren't they? They're all pretty spread out now, yeah. They're all recouping from what, look like a coordinated attack, and you can see there appears to be what you normally see are about four to five deck hands. There's only three up there right now with Captain Damon. They're either sleeping or not currently in the battle.

What color are the dragons? From what you can tell, the dragon-like creatures, which, as you get a better look at this moment, you know these. A large number of the draconian army utilizes these as mounts. These are wyverses. Oh. Oh. And they're all in a kind of ruddy, brown brass-like coloration to their form. Best you can tell in this light. All right, so, Max, what you're doing? I am going to Hunter's mark

One of the ones with a rider on them Okay, all of them have a rider it seems Oh, all of them? Yes Even the one with feathers? Even the one with feathers I'll go for the feathered one then. All right Hunter's mark Hunters Mark But do you? Hunters rings

Hunter's ring all right And I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna Hail of Thorns Hill at a level three okay yeah what's the range of that is it just as a range weapons so whatever weapons ranges what's your weapons range for your longbow that is a really good question I'm gonna run forward all right how far you're

gonna run that's that's about that's as far as you can go with your movement's turn all right I can and that means I can like duck against one of those right where the stairs is right okay That'll help you out with that. All right, so the range of the long bow comes to, 156, yeah, you're fine. Okay. So, you're fine.

So, a regular attack. Yep, so roll for attack on him. 17. 17 does hit. Yes, okay, so regular attack and then also a, like thorn attack, right? Yep, so you go ahead and roll the damage for the spell At level three.

Okay. It depends. I'm sweet. One two three. Nice. And three. And is that a radio? Yeah.

So that should be a 23 plus my regular 14. Nice. So a total of 37? Nice. And is that a radial explosion? Yeah.

So that should get him and the writer on the Hail of Dorns part. Good. also takes the dead. So as you release the air, it arcs through the air, and you see the wind itself is very strong at this point in the morning, but you still manage, thanks to your training and the magical nature

of the arrow that you fire, strikes true, slamming into the side of this giant, and you can see it now flying with this giant beaked eagle-like head. This is a griffin. You've seen them occasionally, usually wild, and stay away from them. This one appears to be used and harnessed as a mount. However, the arrow slams into it and detonates

with a spray of magical thorns. You can see it kind of recoil is bad, giving this squeak sound. And Hunter's Mark! Three additional damage for Hunter's Mark on that. All right. Is that it? Great.

All right, so that's your bonus action and your first attack. You get a second normal attack, too. Oh shit, awesome. Let's do it. It just explodes in Thoris is on fire or whatever. No. That is 24. 24 definitively hits.

Okay. Against the Griffin as well? Yes. All right. 10. 10 damage, already. Got it. All right, so as the Griffin's reeling back

and trying to flap away, a second air, strikes it inside and it screeches again in pain. It begins to rise up over the actual area. Ooh, I get to use these again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love it. I love it. All right, so that ends your turn, I believe,

you've moved and done everything else. Alrighty. Oh, I didn't move Trinket at all. You can move Tricket if you want, still. I want it to be near me. Okay, Trigit moves up to you. We're ready to guard angrily. Yeah, but we're kind of blocking on the wall.

Up in here? Yeah. All right. That ends your turn. Next up, these guards all shift over to these three. And placements over here, you have large defensive bolts that are locked in the sides of the ship. And they go and they reach over into the barrel and you can see they take one out and each one of these giant bolts has a rope attached to the end of it. And they start loading it into it, pulling back to prepare it for an attack.

It takes their entire turn to do that, but now they're at the ready to strike out against whatever they manage to aim on. Is it also at the front of the ship? One at the front ship there and one at each side there. That ends their turn. Vax, you're up. All right. I'm running up right behind my sister's shoulder, and because of my assassinate puck, I have advantage on this because they haven't gone yet. Correct. So I'm going to click my boots of haste as I come up behind her and daga, daga, daga over her.

I'll use my brand new dagger of life stealing the first time. That was a 19, which is a critical hit for me. You're at disadvantage in these attacks because they are beyond your 20-foot dagger-throwing range. Okay. Well, I had advantage for assassinate and disadvantaged for the distance,

so that brings me down to even. My first role was a 19, which is still a critical hit for me. That is, do you know how it works? You have advantage, yeah, that's true, you do. They haven't gone yet. No, it hasn't, and you have advantage. That cancels it out.

So yes, that first tag is a critical hit on this webering right here. Puttwheres. Right over my sister's shoulder. So there's a first. So here we go. Rolling dice in New Jersey. It's wonderful. That means 10.

So that's a 12. So that's a 20 for that. All right. And then I'm gonna start slinging the other two daggers. All right. First one, it probably misses it's a 14. A 14 against, it's the Wevern. Well, I don't know, do these all get advantage?

Technically? That's another good question. Look at this. All three or before they go. It's true, that's why I'm thinking probably. I'm pretty sure you get advantage. I'm thinking that. Yeah, on attack rolls against any creatures not in combat yet, so yeah.

All right, so then actually that was a 20. All right, so that definitely hits. Okay, that is an eight, and the third dagger goes whoishing. Yep. Right over him, Vex's shoulder for a 27. All right. This one is the poison dagger, of course. So that is a 10 of damage, and then it's a DC of,

15 for poison. All right. All right, the dagger strikes true. You're uncertain if it's had an effect, unfortunately at its distance. It's hard to tell its physical reaction to the impact. However, it seems the dagger seemed to have making definite damaged appearances

to its physical exterior, and you see it recoiling from the attacks, and begins to once again to fly up as well to try and get out of range. I'm happy. All right. I'm happy. That ends your turn. It's now the Griffin's turn.

The Griffin and the Griffin Rider. Oh no. The Griffin rider and Griffin swoop down. Shit. Having its movement, it's gonna attempt to grapple. Graple. Against that guard who Ails his check, grabs.

Oh no, he's gonna throw him over the edge. Grabs this guard into its claws and then lies up and over this side. He's gonna toss his ass over the edge. going to release it. Oh, you were shitting me. Can someone have a reaction? Seriously tie ropes around your waist.

If you have something crazy. Can someone do anything like a reaction? The guard misses and fails to hold on tight with his last reaction to try and grapple back. That's such dick. The guard, you watch as the Griffin swoops down, grabs him both of its claws and talons, wrapping around his shoulders, lifting him up

and chucking him over the side of the ship. You hear him scream. As a reaction, can we freaking tie up? ourselves down to the boat. You have no ropes immediately around you. You have to go to the side. I have the rope of. You have nothing to tie it to us.

Shit. You have the pegs all on the side here where the ropes attached to you guys climb in. So you could do that. We could just attach it to all of ourselves and where we go one, we go all. They take one, they take all of us. And with the last bit of the Griffin's flight movement,

because that was done up there. It would make it a difficult. They would be able to lift all of them. Well, you wouldn't make it difficult. He would have to break against the strength section against Frog. to get back up to here. Oh no.

All right, so now there's the Griffin's current position on its turn. That ends there. Tiberius and Grog both go. Okay, I'm going to move over here. Okay, so one, two, three, five, six. That's as far as you can get there. I'm still in range of that guy, right?

Yeah, good. I'm going to use telekinesis to lift the rider off and tuck them off. Okay, go ahead and make your check plus five for your modifier. Oh no. So that's no, but it's okay. That's 16 plus my this thing, that's 19.

All right. So the writer, which as you look over, you can see, appears to be small and halfling-like in physical form. You reach over with your telekinesis spell and concentrate. the entity that's gripping onto it, holding the spear, all of a sudden, gets lifted up and then flung off the side. Yes!

And I turned to the waver and I go, She shot me shit! And in dragon speak, or draconic, whatever, I say, fight with me or be free. Or be free and be free. Or it can, that meaning, fight with me. Okay, yeah. Orca Piso.

Okay. You just sounded like ena to me. Make, I'll say for this one, make an animal handling rule. Come on. Oh. Natural 20. No.

Advantage, because you're a dragon form. Montere hood. Yeah. Okay. Good enough. Try again. Did you have disavit? No, I had advantage.

Oh. So, this half-ling or no machinity is now falling out of the air. That ends Tiberius' turn. Grog, what's up? I turn to the group and say, make sure someone guards the box in case it's a distraction, and then I rage. And I would like to run to the front of the ship where the captain was. As far as I can.

The captain's right here. Oh, the captain's there? Yeah, it's in the back of the ship here. That was the guard. The guard got flung off the side. The captain's still up there holding on to the... I will run to the front crystal. Okay.

If I can get, there's 40 feet. This is how far I can go. 40 feet is right there. Son of a bitch. But your rage is a bonus action. You can use your action to dash and go the rest of the distance. I wanted to tie myself to something, though. Okay.

Tie yourself to something. You can run to the side and tie yourself. What is that thing at the very front of the ship? Right there? It's another one of these ballistas. They've all been set. This one has been set. the fire, just the person who was currently humming

and got chucked off the side. Oh, you're a shooting guy. Is there a railing on the side of the ship at all? There is a railing. It's about waist high. And there's pegs to tie yourself to one side. Yeah. Okay, I have a hundred feet of chain.

Could I take the chain out of the bag of holding, wrap it around my wrist, and wrap it around the railing, and then that'll be all I do. Can I do that? Yeah. With your movement, you can get to there, unless you wanted to instead head over here, Yeah, I'll do that.

Okay, so instead of going further up that value, you go ahead and wrap the chain around there, sure. Yeah. Chain around your wrist, you kind of tangle it in with your chain of returning. You go ahead and take the chain and wrap it around the side of the peg and pull it's hot. That's your turn.

Okay. That is Grog's turn. Keelith, you're up. Okay. I'm going to move my speed over here-ish. All right. And then would you say I'm 60 feet within range of that guy? Oh yeah.

You're within 25-5. 30 feet of him. Oh, am I? Well, let me back up a bit then. Okay. Yeah. Oh, I can walk across that. Yeah.

Oh, fun. It's a wooden lattice. Basically, it's, I mean, it's mostly covered. It's just what they remove when they're putting large cargo in with the ship. Right, gotcha, gotcha. And there's still a rider on that guy? Yes, there's a writer on all of them.

Okay. I am going to cast polymorph on that riven. I'm going to turn them into a bunny rabbit. Oh. You're gonna kill a buddy? No, I won't die. Are you like eight, six hit points? The guy right here, but it's gonna be like,

like the least innocent thing that's killed in this game. That is an Acme cartoon. That's like that's gonna be funny. That's pretty much what I thought. Bof, bog, thanks he's to buddy. All right, so what was the DC on that? He has to make a wisdom saving throw. The Wyvern has to make a wisdom saving throw.

And what's your DC on that? Uh, uh, uh. You spell DC. 18. Uh. Into what creature? Bunny. Wivern.

Oh, a bunny. So. You know what would be funny? Like, sh- Stook of the bunny. Bunch. Oh, it's good. He'll take of the bunny.

The wyvern turns into a bunny rabbit from underneath its rider and goes, and then the whomits, the rider which, to fall as well, immediately tossing a grappling hook as it falls. Oh. He's pretty. Speedy. falling so slowly.

Hi! Okay. That's awesome. Thanks. That was my turn. All right, that brings this. All right, so now the Wyvern's turn. Where did the music go? Where is the music day? Bum, bha-bba-b-b-pom-d-pom-d-d-d-d-d.

It's coming, guys, don't worry. It's coming, guys, don't worry. All right, so this Wyvern, this Wyvern, This Wyvern turns and dives down to catch its rider, oh. Lift it back up onto its back, but it uses its entire turn doing so. Wow.

So, well, wasted their turn on that element. This, what? The Wyvern caught his rider. It happened in like a second, second, second, second. You threw it off the side, and for the Wyvern's turn immediately, it dove down, caught the rider. and it helped it back onto its back.

But it took its entire turn to do that. Okay. The wilds train. This wyvern is plummeting as a bunny rabbit now, through the air, is going to attempt to make it saving throw. Fail. Fail. Fail.

Just play more allow a saving throw every round if it's against its will. I don't think it was, I remember you had to be damaged, right? The body go split. Bunny go die. Um, actually yeah. Go bye bye bye. Thumper's toast. Um.

No. It lasts for the duration or until the target drops the zero hit points or times. Yeah, so no. He's just, you know, is a falling bunny. He's a falling bunny. That is going to be one dead wyver. Any luck is going to fall in a child. Oh, everything's falling.

Let me know when he like hits the ground. I will, don't worry. You'll hear the gut splat out of it. When, upon hitting. Turtle velocity for a bunny rabbit. I have to consider this as a DM now. This is a thing in my existence. Yeah, it's the same.

You throw a penny, you throw a cow off the Empire's state building, they're both going on. How high up are we? That's zero he turns back in ten. How high up all we? And how much does the bunny weigh? It's hard to tell. You can't make any details out on the-

It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, you're so far above the ocean that you can barely make out any details of it and what you can see is so fine in the distance. You can gather, you're a whole long way up. Getting fches of holy grail here. Exactly. So the grappling hook, phtonk, on the side here, the rope swings, and this guy gets

spends his turn getting up onto the side of the boat there and that's his turn. Next, this Wyvern here is going to swoop down as it does its rider leaps off, landing right there. The Wyvern comes over here and is going to make attacks on you. No! First it comes back with its bite. It has no arms. It has his arms, arms or its wings. It has talon feet, comes down and bites at you with its giant toothy maw, that's going to be a 25 to hit with its bite. Watch you.

So you take 13 points of piercing damage. All right. Oops, sorry. It's not going to use its claws because instead, as it brings its claws up as in a rearing position, its tail whips underneath it with this gnarled pointed stinger at you. As you're the one that shot an exploding arrow at its friend. Oh, all right. This is going to be, say, 20 to hit? Okay, so my arm class is 19, but I'm wearing a plus two ring of protection.

Right, but that's with your... Is that with the plus two ring? So it hits me then. So for that... All right. You take 10 points of piercing. of piercing damage. Damn it!

And I need you to make a DC-15 Constitution saving throw. As the stinger at the end of its tail pierces you in the side of your torso, and as it does you can feel the venom pulse in the inside of your skin. Yeah. Come on. You got this. Confidently. Roll that shit.

No? As the poison pulses through your system, you feel your muscles seize up with this horrible, painful burning sensation. Oh. Uh. Uh. Oh. Yeah.

Okay, you take 26 points of poison damage. Holy fudge, dude. 26 points of poison damage. Ouch. I'm gonna start doing the map now. The individual that hopped off of it now, you can see is a halfling dressed in dark leather, faces obscured, pulls a long bow out,

and pulls out two arrows at once, pulls back and releases them. One is going for you, Keelith. The other is going, for Trinket. These guys got skills. That is a 22 versus you, Kielas.

Yeah. And a 20 versus Trinket. He's got 20. Oh no. You take 12 points of piercing damage. Okay. Trinket takes five points of piercing damage. Okay, okay, okay. That ends

their turn. All right. It brings it to Percy. Go, Percy, go Percy, go. How far away am I from that Weaveren that's currently attacking everybody? Right there? Yeah.

You're right here, so you're about roughly 45 feet from him. Ah, this would be funny. Okay, I'm gonna back up and sit down against the back wall of the ship. Okay, against the doorway. I'm going to pull out the biggest gun I have, so I'm going to pull out bad news. Yes.

I'm going to sit down. Yes. I'm gonna take aim and I'm gonna try and take a wing shot I'm gonna spend a grit and try and take a wing shot at this at this why you will pull in here. Yes, alright. What's a wing shot? Well, we'll see if it works.

Trying to shoot the wing. I'm shooting him in the wing. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. You mean literally. Literally. Right. Sure. Yeah. 18? It's just winged it.

Okay. It's 19, 22, I'm sorry. Really? Really? Really? Um, hard time. Where's my D12? I was not prepared for this. Here we go.

That's... 14 points of damage and he has to make a constitution saving shortless throw. We're just letting that guard die, right? We're not going to try that. I don't realize if we could save them. 23. No, fails that. Okay, that Weaveron drops hard 20 feet.

All right, so that Weaver, who is roughly about 10 feet up, you shoot in the wing, blows a big old hole in the side. a big old hole in the side of its leathery wing as you do the impact sends its wing arm crumbling behind it it spins uncontrollably in the space and then plummetes to the ground on its back going just reaching and scrambling trying to get back up so it's currently prone on the ground all right thank you no worries all right Scanlan you're up oh okay I'll take a few steps towards the action and I'll cast Bigby's hand

his hand, you know it, Chamon. On the Griffin. All right. Is he above the boat or just above the ocean? Currently above the ocean.

Dump him over. Okay go ahead and make a check with your with your bonus oh and this is all right? I'm going to Dump him over. Oh, and this is all right? through the hand cone of clarity. Right, right, right, all right. So go ahead and roll and add five. 19 plus five, 24. 19 plus three. Oh, so the griffin all of a sudden

is this giant shimmering big three hand. As you reach out, this gargantuan version of a Scanlan fist comes rocketing through the sky. The fingers unraveling, clutching the griffin. Its wings seem to be pulled up and crunched for a second as it shhf is suddenly lifted. Its rider who is holding on to the reins at the front is now dangling and going to attempt to try and hold on,

and rolls a three. Yes! The rider immediately plummets, falls right towards the edge of the ship. He was the Elven. He breaks his back. Makes an acrobatics check and manages to reduce the damage and land on its feet. However, it does still take nine points of falling damage. Is he a half-leg as well?

No, this actually, you can see, is a very live, elven-looking individual, like very thick. thin form, face and body all covered. Appears to be female, from best you can tell, just from the physicality. She's going to do it. I'm also going to inspire Vex with just for her archery skills. Go for it. OK.

Elvish people in the ship tonight. Everybody just have a good fight. All right. All right, you get a D10 inspiration dice for you for your use. All right, so is your turn, Pike, you're up. Okay, how long is the ship? The full length of it? Just so you know what I'm looking at right now.

This ship. This ship right here? Sure, okay. I'd say it would be about 130 feet in... 140 feet okay so would you say like maybe this area would be about like I don't know 60 feet 60 feet radius you mean yeah where where would be where a 60 foot radius for you would be right here okay this around you okay but I would like to um reach down stay where I am and and touch the floor of the ship mm-hmm and cast

hollow. Hallow, okay. And which... I am so hard right now. Basically infuses a 60 foot radius with fully power. And any creatures or anything can't harm anything with inside the radius. Alrighty. It takes...

Look at the casting time on the spell. Oh no. God... Dang it. 24 hours. Okay, so here's what we're gonna do. 24 hours? Three hours.

But you, how though it works, you take 24 hours and that land that you do that is like that until someone dispels it. Oh wow. You should have done it when we first got on a ship. Okay, so then, that's cool, that's good to know. Yes, but. It would have been cool.

Instead. Instead, I'm gonna guiding bolts this guy right here. This guy here. Oh wait, no, the flying guy right here. the flying guy right here. Oh, that one? Yeah. Okay.

This isn't my mind. You currently can't see him, unfortunately. That is down below the ship, because it swooped down to pick up the guy had fallen. So he is currently out of your view. Good. All guiding bolt. I can't do that Griffin up there, can I?

What's the range on guiding bolt? You might be able to. 120? Yeah, you can do. Yeah, okay, I'll do that. All right. So go ahead and make your range spell attack. So roll D20, add that bonus.

What you got? All right. All right. So in your confusion, you reach back to shoot the wyver and that's on the other side of the ship, it's not there. And so while the spell is releasing itself, you're like, crap, oh, that one. And by the time you turn around to redirect the divine energy blast, it just arcs off in a random direction.

What a fail of a motherfucking turn. Okay. Okay. Still in a second. Can I still move? Can I still move if I use my Sprinter's boots? Yeah, you still move. Okay.

I'm just, I'm going to, I'm just spritchers boots. over to Vex. Okay. That's me. Fringer's books. And then I'm going to give her... I'm going to give her a superior healing potion.

Okay. So you haven't used it yet, but you have one. Okay. I can't give it to her. Okay. She has it. You handed it to her, but she has it. Here's a superior a term.

Thanks. A potion. Turn. I can't wait. All right. Top of the round. Wait, so she has to use that on her turn then? Yeah.

That's okay, that's okay. All right. Let's just go past this really fast. Oh, fight. Let's move on. That's okay. All right, so Vex, you're up. It's okay.

You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna use a superior healing potion, which is how many, what do I roll for that? The superior healing potion, that is, wow. 8D4 plus 8. Whoa. Yeah, that's a big old heel. One, two.

She's drinking a potion that Pike just gave her. Were you hurt? Uh-huh, actually very severely. She just healed her. Six. Why don't Mike? I'm going to add those up in just a second. O-D-4.

Okay, but first I'm going to... If he's on the ground, so if I step away from him, he doesn't get a... Correct. He is not threatened. Okay, so I'm going to move away from that. guy. All right. I'm gonna, uh... How far? Actually, I'm not gonna move, I'm gonna move against the railing around grog. Can I do that? Yeah, you can move around. Yeah, and I'm gonna, um, you kind of stand extra grog and hope he'll overshadows me. And I'm gonna lightning arrow, the griffin. All righty. Go ahead and

roll for a tech on that. Why do I feel like a griffin will be immune to lightning attack? No way birds. They're fine, right? Of course. Birds hate lightning. Okay, so that is... It is not grappled. That is 4D8.

Oh, I have to roll and see if I get it. Okay, which one looks like a lightning? This is the amethysts looks like a lightning. There you go. There's like, boom, we get hit with lightning. Okay, that's good. That's 25? 25, yeah.

Okay, so now it's 4D8. Foo. 15. 15. 15 points of damage to it? All right. So as you run around Grog, as you rush around his shoulder, you grab one arrow, pull it back, knock it in your bow, and underneath his arm, as he's like reaching up with his axe, you

release an arrow. As you release it into the air, it almost seems to spark with energy halfway to its mark. All of a sudden, the speed it's traveling at increases, increases, increases, and you see energy begin to... Off the front. It slams into the side of the griffin, the blast of energy and electricity surges through its body. The griffin loses about 10 feet of height before it catches itself.

You can see this giant burn mark on the side of its body. It's having a hard time keeping itself in the air. It's looking pretty rough. For my second attack, I'm gonna have Trinket charge the elf guy in red, girl in red. Okay. Or no, he's gonna attack the whiverin that's on the ground. That makes more sense.

Doesn't it? Chew his wing off. And go, boom. And bash him with his new armor and do stuff. All right. So as you fire the arrow, Trinket turns around and comes forward. Go ahead and roll attack for Trinket. Okay.

I don't know if I've ever attacked with Trinket. You have before. It's been a while. It's been a really long time. I like possibly Pathfinder a while. Yeah, it's been a while. Yay, Trinquet. And he rolled a one.

No. With inspiration. With inspiration. No. The one is not a miss. He's plighted by its new armor. So Trinket goes to attack. The Wyvern that's on the ground is.

screeching around, moving its body. Its tail whips out and strikes Trinket in the side of the armor, almost piercing it with the poisonous stinger. Trinket, instinctively- Oh, shit, I forgot I was poisoned. Yeah, that's okay. It ricochets off the armor, but Trinket instinctively recoils from it

and foregoes the attack to take a defensive stance. We're not doing well. I forgot it was poisoned. We're doing great. All right. These weapons set up. Oh, I'm gonna finish the, healing potion just now so I can...

Okay, go for it. This guard pulls back and aims the ballista up towards the griffin that's on the air. Releases the bolt as it streaks to the air. The bolt rushes past the griffin, unfortunately not finding purchase, the rope leading off into the distance. As he sees the rope, the entire giant bolt misses, curses and takes a dagger out and cuts the rope,

and it just disappears over the side and goes and spends the rest of his turn, ready to prepare it for a second shot. This one over here currently has the ready to fire bolt has no means of doing so. Instead, draws a weapon. And begins to rush over to try and join the fray of the Wyvern over here, but can't quite get all the way over to fight it.

That ends his turn. Vax, you're up. This guy's still alive for the back, right? Yeah, you just can't see it. Vax. I'm going to run up alongside Trinket on the side and stamp the ground of Glyburn two or three times. Okay, have your boots of ace.

We can do this because you have to go up the stairs here to get to the next level. Right there. All right, so now you're up on your. Keene dagger to start gets a 23. That hits. Okay, so that this is this, that's 11 points of damage plus the sneak attack damage.

Ooh, this is gonna be nasty. Three, four, four, four, there's something for crawling. I was hoping it would be. 13, sneak attack damage, that's, so that's 11 plus 13. plus 13. Yes, a 24. The first dagger.

Nice, 24 damage. Oh, look. Second, second dagger gets a 26. Hits. Hits. Nager, dagger, dagger, dagger. Sweet. There is a 10 of damage, and the third dagger

gets a 16. 16 does hit. Go to all damage. It does. Oh, that's very nice. Come on, Jersey, roll that shit. Yeah, Jersey. Eat, so.

Shook, shook, shook. I mean, technically always a creature is prone, so you have advantage on these attacks too, by the way. Oh, well, did they all hit? Yes. Go ahead roll second one for this last one, just on the off chance at my critical, I don't know. That did my...

Okay, so then you're fine. All right. I throw it two more. Okay, good, I'm good with everything I was. Okay. Just a second. All right, so damage in the last one? Oh, it was eight.

Eight, got you. All right, so as you rush around, trink it, you come up with your daggers. Stab, stab, stab. You're jamming it in the side, and you can see, like the dragon, the dark black dragon blood spilling out of each wound as you're kind of piercing it, and screeching out and trying to get back to its feet

in the process, but you just keep finding each opening and jamming it with your blades. And as a bonus action, I'd like to take my hands under Trinquet's ears and go, would you, wuga, wuga, wuga, wuga, wuga. And kind of rubs into them. Would you mind hailing him? He's low on help.

All right, so. Get some dune. Trickets to do. Is this a shiqbas, half, empty girl. The Griffin is going to take its turn. It's going to swoop down towards Keyleth. It's going to attempt to grapple you. Nope.

Oh, do we hate friend? Go ahead and make either an acrobatics or athletics check. Your choice. I'm on the vision that shot of the Griffin flag. Let's do athletics. Yeah. Let's do this place. That's good.

It's okay. 15. 15. The griffin reaches down, grapples in you with each of his talons, and lifts up, carrying you and then cut you off the side.

You begin to plummet off the side of the ship. You sit vanish above you. Should be fine. It'll be fine. It's fine. It's fine. Look, Kiel if that's what you wanted. Tiberius and Grog.

This is fun! So that thing went to go save his dude. So I turned to him super annoyed. And I go, K-Fa. I use telekinesis and I rip off his wing. Which guy? The Wyver.

You can rip off his whole wing? This one here you can't see. It's like far below the ship because it dove down to catch its guy. guy, it's not currently invisible rank. This is off the board, essentially. It's down below there. Oh, well, crap. Rip all the Griffin's feathers off.

I don't do any of that stuff. Just pluck it. You, this is annoying you. Yeah. Isn't it? This is annoying you. Preparing for dinner. What's, what's going on?

There's a, who's this dude over here? Pugh, phew, phew. This is one of the writers that managed to just barely grapple on and pull itself to the top of the ship. And this is a, The Elvin? This is the Elvin one who was on top of the Griffin. Okay.

They got dumped off by Scanlan. Oh. Let's see. Let's see. How many feet between the two? Five. How many? What's the distance between?

What's this thing right here? That's one of the ballistas up front. It's ready to fire. It's been fired. A lot of questions. Oh. That's fun. OK.

I'm going to use my movement to get around over here so I can get with a man. because that's that's all 60 feet right yeah cool well then I'll use screw it I'll use telekinesis to pick up that elf and huck it right into the ballista okay I go ahead make your roll be 20 plus five oh natural 20 so so you take the elf is you suddenly elf is down pulling two blades out, lift it up in the air, and flung off on the side. The female form slams into the blister from behind, setting it off.

You see now the bolt just arcs off the side of the boat. The elf which is currently grappled now and held against the side. Takes seven points of impact damage from the full slamming attack. The ballistic was aimed this way. That makes more sense. Oh, were you trying to skewer him? Yeah. Oh.

Well. I still do that. I lift him up and I do that instead. Bliss is already fired though. Oh, that's, I mean, it's gone. I mean, you slam it into it and psh, and fired off. That's okay. Cool.

It's my turn. You still flung him real hard. Sorry. It's fine. Um. You and Ashley. We had a week off. We had a week off.

Yeah, yeah. It's getting in the same thing. You know, wiggles out. Rog, you're up. Yes, frog. Seeing the while I've earned at my feet, I feel that familiar tremble in my loins. And I take my hand out of the chain,

and I go into a frenzied rage. And I would like to butcher the ever-living buck out of the mini dragon. All right, make it good attacks. It's starting to get to its feet now. Oh, hold on kitty. 15 must eight. You still have advantage on it, by the way,

remember, because it's still tentatively prone. Uh, 23. Hits. 23 again. Roll it. No, you already did it. That's all 20. So hit critical and. The third one.

That makes up for so much shit. Can him! 18. Hits. Nice. Critical hit. So the first hit. Yes!

Yes! Eight. Eight damage? Yeah. You win the bonus? Yeah, I rolled. The one. Okay.

So eight. Now you're critical. Yeah, Caros, is that two of these? Two or two or twelve? You just roll it once and double the number. Oh, awesome. 12 to seven. 19.

Well, then you add the plus at the end. So whatever you rolled. 19. You rolled 19. So 12, so 24 plus seven. Oh, I got you. So 31. All righty.

And the last one? Mm-hmm. 16. Nice. So you just smack! Smack, smack, giant axe. With each arc backward, you can see the blood spray through the air, spattering part of the ship.

It's screeching in pain, trying to reach around it for some sort of purchase. You leave gaping wounds in its side. It still seems to be ready and earring to go. These things are hard. Pretty tough, pretty tough these weirons. You take the Weaver or the rider? The Weirwra.

Grog, you say where you are? Yes. All right, and it's your turn. Kila, you are currently falling. And before I turn into anything, I kind of just taken the scenery, and I'm like, this is peaceful. Very, very serene.

And then I turn into an air elemental. Woosh. All right, is that a thing? Yes. Not a shark, I know. That could be cool, too. That would be funny. Turn into a flying shark.

I'm like, oops. My hat is like a shark. In my time, flying shark. In my disappointing haste, I forgot to bring your elemental figures and I apologize. It's okay, I'm air. We use this, we'll just put this around you. So you're as you as an air elemental.

Right there. You're so pretty with your air. Around you. Sorry guys. Usually better about that. It's been crazy. So you, so you. I turn into poof.

Yeah. Is that the name of your element? There is no fall. You stop yourself immediately. You know more than maybe 20 feet below the bow of the ship. Oh, this is cool. Okay, cool. I'm only 20 feet.

What's your fly feet? Isn't it like 60? It's like the same, like all of them if you're like moving through like air and stuff. Your own terrain, 60. Yeah, so you can get up onto the bow and still have 40 feet to go. Okay, so who's, who's like the nearest bad guy? The Griffin that just threw you off. Is there, is that a bad guy next to him?

Yes. That's a guard. That's what was writing. My earth element or my air elementals are big base. big base, right? Yes, the large. Okay, so here's what I do. I go up and I'm like, whoosh.

This big, dark, scary cloud, and then I go up and I'm going to do whirlwind, and I just go full tornado. Okay, so is this, this, this, this... Full twister. You have, you guys, you've never seen this before, all of a sudden this giant, angry cluster of elemental energy. This wind begins to just, like, angry eyes. with angry eyes in almost based on just an energy source within, begin swirling into this giant cyclone localized. Both the Griffin being pulled into it

as well as the other creature on the side. The effects of that? They have to make in DC's 13 strength staming through. All right. The Griffin does succeed. This Griffin, this woman writer does not. Awesome. On a failure.

A target takes 3D8 plus 2 bludgeoning damage. Nice. So let me do that real quick. That's okay. So two, one, totally. So there's a 10 damage. All ready? And he's flung 20 feet in a random direction and knock prone.

All right. Hopefully it's randomly off their side of the ship. random direction. I'll say it's where the four is there. Four. Falls off and actually slams into the top of this wing. This wing. It gets to slide off. Yes, yes, yes, yes. And it's going to attempt to catch itself on the edge of the wing. Failed, fail. Fails. Slave me. Bye. Save everyone of us. It's flung off the side and falls out of view. Damn, all right.

And... We still have about 40 feet of... Or 30 feet of movement at this point. Oh, and if he hits... If the target hits like a wall, he takes three... No, he takes one D6 bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet he was thrown. I think he's gonna hit a lot of bloods and damage when he hits the ocean. Yeah, it's for a bit.

It's gonna hurt, like twice. Okay, and... Then if the saving throw is successful, the target takes half the bludgeoning damage and isn't flung or not. All right, so he still takes five damage? Yeah, he still takes five damage. Okay. From the buffeting of the wind, Griffin managed to keep itself in place. All right, is it in your turn?

It ends my turn. All right, now it's the Weaver and the Weaver rider's turn. This Weavering gets up to its feet again, no longer prone. It's going to, after being stabbed repeatedly and axed repeatedly, it's going to angrily strike out, yeah, all right. It's gonna go have to make a bite attack and a stinger attack. The bite attack's gonna be at U-Grog,

Stinger attack's gonna be at Vax. This is right behind him. So the bite attack against U-Grog is gonna be a 22 to hit. That hits. All right, you go ahead and take. Would that be bludgeoning, piercing or slashing by me? That would be piercing.

I half. Yes, you do. So you would take, 14 points of damage. You take seven instead. Because you have too many hit points and don't like damage. That's natural 20?

Natural 20. Natural 20 on you, Vax. So I'm gonna assume that hits. So Vax, you take. He's at disadvantage because I'm on Skype. And wasn't he prone? He's up. He's up now.

He's got it now. All right, so that is. Take 25 points of piercing damage from the Stinger. Wait, what did he roll? He rolled. He rolled a natural 20. Natural 20, then he hits. Yeah, so you, yeah, so you take,

that's 18 plus 70, 25 points of piercing damage, 25 points of piercing damage, and I need you to make a Constitution saving throw. All right, I'm doing it. I'm in New Jersey, and I'm rolling for Constitution. Come on. That's a five. To be fair, you're in jerseys.

It's the birthplace of the Constitution. Yeah, I think that's accurate. All right. So you take 29 points of poison damage, as the stinger shoots out from the wyvern, pierces you in the abdomen, already stabbing through your guts and you can feel it, you know, just destroying a lot of your internal organs,

and then all of a sudden there's a pulse of burning, fiery pain as the poison just disperses into your system. disperses into your system as it pulls out of your torso. Oof, that's rough. I'm not doing too well. How much, where are you at? That's that Wyvern. The other Wyvern is still plummeting as a bunny.

He hasn't hit the water yet? No, you guys are ways up. Whoa. This Wyvern swings up now with its rider. That I don't feel so good. Take a healing potion. As it does a flyby here with its movement, its rider is currently clutching a spear

type object flings it down at the blue crystal as it slams. We'll see if it does. Yeah. As it slams into the crystal, there's a spark of energy and the blue crystal seems to wink out of magical energy. It's coloration growing dark. The entire shift begins to list to one side. Everyone shifts 15 feet this way. Oh my god. Wait, which way? Oh, we all shift. So, okay, we're already on against the Yeah, on the stairway, Tabirius, I'm gonna have you go ahead and roll an acrobatics check

to try and catch yourself because you're on the stairs when you get knocked off. Nope. So you fall prone, 15 feet there. Oh no. On the ground. Can we all Star Trek it right now? This guy's gonna try and catch himself here.

Oh, oh. Catch himself. This elf here just goes to there. It's gonna move 15 feet to there. He'll just touch. Table fat. Yeah. Oh yeah, you got a grip.

The Wyvern slides and catches itself off the edge. Push to there. Push to the stairs. I need- I need Grog and Vex to each make make a dexterity check to try and catch yourself on the edge of the boat. Son of a bitch. Come on you guys. 21. Vex, I've inspired you.

That's true, but I don't need it. Do not kill my sister while I... That's a 29 for me. Both of you guys managed you're flung to the side, hit the railing, your body has tumbled over the side, and both Grog and Vex catching the railing and are now dangling on the side of the ship as it's listing at the side.

You both look over each other with a... Whof. Hey. Crazy shit, huh? Um... Um... So that's... His action as the continuation of its movement

the Wyvern comes down towards the now caught off of his, you know, knocked away from the reins of the ship, he's going to attempt to grapple the captain. Oh, not Damon. No, no, no. And oh no, no, not handsome Damon. Fails his role. Damon, no.

He's grabbed by the Wyvern. Son of a cock. We can't lose our captain. You can get this. Save it. On the edge of the ship, it doesn't have enough movement to get him all the way off, but it's in the process of dragging him off.

You see the captain is now reaching up, trying to fight his way off with the Wyvern is dragging him off the edge of the ship, but that's as far as you can do with the rest of its movement since it had to move up and over the edge of the ship. That's the end of its turn. I'm going to put it at about there. Oh no. Everything's fooling. It happens. Dedicate little miniatures. All right, that brings this to... Yeah, that's all the turns. Percy, you're up.

The ship now... This weird object now is just like sparking energy on the edge of the blue crystal. I'm going to sort of, I'm going to just hold on to bad news as I'm flicking around. I'm going to pull out my pepper box. I'm going to take a, I'm going to take a wing shot at that bastard right there. Right there? Okay. Oh, Percy, do it. Ha, ha, ha, ha. 29. 29 definitively hits. And definitively hits. So let's do some, let's figure out what we're going to do to this person. Yeah, come on. We got a flat tire.

That's nine points of damage plus a 14 Constitution saving roll. Which were the five it does not make. So it drops 20 feet. It drops 20 feet, slams into the deck. It isn't not prone, but the captain is slamming on the ground as well and is not currently being held over the edge of the ship. It still has in its clutches, but is not being dangled over the edge. He still has him in his claws.

though. I'm going to take another shot at him. All right. I'm going to make this a fire shot, and I'm going to try and get him to drop them now. Okay. 16. 16. Okay.

That hits. All right. Let me just make sure I'm doing this right. Yeah. No damage, but he drops him. Okay. The captain tumbles forward out of its grasp onto the side. He's prone, but he's no longer in the talons of the...

All right, and then I'm going to spend the rest of my move getting up, getting situated, and then moving a little bit. Where's my? Yeah, you have 15 more feet of movement. When you get up from the. Yeah, I'm just going to. Flash you weren't not prone, you just slammed into the wall, so you're fine.

I'm just going to move a little bit further up up the, yeah, like right up there. Okay. We just hit 4,000, eh? Oh my gosh. Whoa! Are you serious? We hit 4,000.

Oh my gosh. Rap video. You did this. You did this, Zach. I'm not happy. I'm not happy. You're proud of yourself. Are you proud of yourself?

The snuggle Lord outfit you're wearing tells me otherwise. You look proud of majestic. All right, well let's... Come on, go on. Alright, now are you here. So Percy, well done, that's your turn. Scanlan, you're up. Scanlan's gonna take a few steps forward.

You still have your hand out, by the way. Oh. It's over in this area. You just took it and twisted him. So he managed me. But he got out of it. Yeah. So I could... I'm gonna leave it be...

Oh, wait, I still have my hand out? And it's over there? Well, you mean, your hand is like over here where you grabbed it earlier. Can I move it to the other guy near the, the ballista? Over here? Yeah. Yeah.

Is that going to be my move, or do I also get to use the hand? No, that's just part of your action. Okay. So if you want to use the hand. I move it near the ballistic guy and I just go, push him over the edge. All right, go ahead and make it roll and add five to it. It's through the, not good, not good.

Inspire yourself. 14. 14. As the critches got slamming the side of the wall, the elf that's wrapped up currently is trying to get ready. It starts preparing itself to do a series of attacks, and your big hand just blinds it, sending it over the edge of the railing.

Does not catch the railing. These guys, I don't think they knew who was on the ship. It gets flung off the edge. Unable to catch it and vanishes over the surface. side of the dog. Just a half. Yeah. And then I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to move towards the captain.

All right. And Vax, are you in dire straits? Physically? Yes. Okay, I'm going to throw some healing at Vax with my healing word bonus action. What's the healing? Yeah, you can get him in the range, just barely. The healing word of the day is,

HEAL! Heal! All right, so go ahead and roll from it. 1D4 plus 5. Yes, yes, yes. Is it a award of the day calendar when he yielded seven points, New Jersey? Awesome.

The goggles do nothing. Scanlan's turn. That was a rough round for them. Pike, you're up. Come on, Mike. Okay. No, it's concentration. Once you do the baby's hand, you have,

for as long as you concentrate on it. So, I would like to try to create a spiritual weapon. All right. Kind of in the vein of, of, of, you're a war-clare. Yeah. Yandu's little arrow that he would whistle at. Okay.

But like a really big spear, like a big version of that. Okay, so what you do is you glance over at the bolts that are set up as part of the ballistae, and you use that as a point of inspiration. You cast spiritual weapon, and you can see from the holy symbol, glows in your chest and out of it, this giant piercing bolt just seems to appear out of divine energy, lifts itself aloft next to you.

It's kind of just hovering in the air. All right, so I wanna pierce it through that guy. This guy? Yeah. So as you see it there, you bring your hand up and then just make a flinging motion. It spins, rotates, and then rockets off in the direction of this wyvern.

Go ahead and roll and attack with your spell modifier. Is key. 18. 18 definitely hits. Yes. Yes. All right, so for the bolts damage and the speed of this, and given the flight inch with it,

I would say roll 2D6 plus five damage. Seven. It's pretty. Total seven? All right. All of those dice. You need all new dice. I know.

I mean, because of how heavy it. Wait, but I want to do it at a higher level. Okay, what higher level would you want to do it? Higher, higher. I was thinking of doing it at level four. All right. And I know this says it's one. D8.

Then you add. But was it just a 1D6 because it was heavy? It was 2D6, oh, but what's the damage it say on their normal? No, we should. What's the damage it says on their normal. It's good. Well, we can't follow using a slot of three level or higher, the damage increases by 1D8 for every two levels above the second.

And what levels of normally? Three. It's a three. It's a two. It's a two, so you're casting it at a fourth level, which makes additional should roll another 1D8. Don't roll that. Roll one of these.

Okay. Yeah. What's that? 15 total. 15 total, nice. But then would the, since, so then would I roll the D8s instead of the sixes for the last one? I would say given the fact that it's a range bolt, it would be, is normally just 1D8 for the damage it deals?

I made it 2D6 because it's a larger weapon and you're using this from the bolt. So it did more damage circumstantially than normally it would. So you're fine. All right, that ends Pike's turn. Brings us up to the top, Vex. You're like, on the side right now. You're in theory prone on the side of the ship,

but you're not falling. Oh, so I can't attack if I get up and out? Well, no, you can use half your movement to get back onto the ship. Okay, I'm gonna like brace my foot on grog's shoulder and climb up. All right, so she uses here as a foot and still one, flips over, lands on top of the ship.

Totally fine. Awesome. Can I shoot my grappling arrow at this bastard here at the end of the ship? Is that far enough? Is that close? Yeah, yeah. All right, I want to shoot him at the rider.

I want to shoot the grappling arrow at the right. and catch him and bring him in. All right. So you reach in and there's... Oh, cast Hunter's Mark on him first though. Oh, my mom. So you move it over to... Oh.

Yeah, that's fucking, yeah. It's there. It's there. Yeah. It's on it. Yeah. All right, so go ahead and roll for the attack. Oh, God, oh God, okay.

So nervous. I'm counting on it. Hit it. Yes. 26. 26 definitely hits. Okay. How do I do it?

All right, so roll damage. Okay. It's actually, for the grappling arrow, it's gonna be 1d6 damage for it. It's not quite as designed to pierce more than it's more of a bludgeoning hit. Plus my real, 13. So 13 damage to the rider, all right.

Plus six for the hunter's mark. One. All right. All righty. And then I've got him grappled. And so as the arrow hits, It pierces the shoulder for a second. It causes it to push off the shoulder as it retracts.

Behind it, you pull back and it catches the shoulder. You're yanking. Yeah, for my second action. All right, go ahead, make an athletics check. Nice. Yes. Tug of war. Batman.

You've got inspiration. Oh, well, okay. 16. Should I use my inspiration? Yeah. Yeah, do it. I mean, yeah. Do it. Okay, so that's 23.

Yeah. 23. So using the inspiration that Scanlan had given you, grab the arrow and yank with all your might, the tiny half-leaf-lea form on there clutches for deer life onto the harness that is under this, on top of this, this wyvern, but it's not enough as its fingers are pulled from its brick, and it's yanked off the front, toppling ass over tea kettle, landing prone on the ground next to the captain that it attempted to fling from the side of the ship. The grappling hook partially embedded in the back of its shoulder blade. And I'm still holding the rope, holding on the right?

You are, yes. All right. That's my whole action, right? That's everything I can do. This is the move. That would be your action here, the whole process. When things get really excited and. All right, this guard comes over here,

returns to his base where he had set up. The griffin is right there in front of him. He gets the bolt that's set up there, aims it up, and it's going to fire almost point and blank into the griffin as it turns around. Yes. Come on. That's a natural 20.

Oh! Wait a go to go to stars! Yes! Go NBC! And 2D6 double sixes. Uh, so... You're a badass, nameless MPC. So as the guard turns around and releases the bolt... The guard number two, you're awesome, Steve.

The griffin is flying up over the edge of the ship, kind of getting away from the buffeting winds of the Druid. As it turns around, a bolt just pierces its chest, the sheer impact, sending it flying backwards as it screeches, plummets off the side of the ship. to slowly find itself to its doom in the watery, grave below in the ocean. Like to a tiny rabbit swimming.

Yes. That griffin took a bolt to the chest. That is nasty. All right. This other guard is going to... And the hunter's mark is on a little half-lain thing, not the Wiverin, just so you know. Place for magic.

Yes. Can you see all those fighting? All right. It cuts to just a rabbit. Silently. Oh no, our music went away again. Is that like the only track we have? One track is having problems with audio, apparently.

I'll fix it later. Matt, do everything now. I know. By the way, we have some great audio tracks that some fans have sent, and I'm going to be incorporating to our playlist soon. So if you guys are there are musicians, you want to create music for the show, feel free to send it to us. You know, like atmospheric, not too dynamic.

You've heard the types we have on here, so in that realm, please send it. Some slow jams for... Scanlan in the good bar. Skob, step. Backs, you're up. up. I'm having trouble seeing through the fog of war, aka my iPad. How close is that liver him to me?

Right there. He is only 10, 11 feet from you. All right, okay. So straight up, dagger, dagger. All right. Do I have a danger, dagger? No, you do not have advantage. It is flying.

20 on the first with my keen. That hits. It's. That is 10 points of damage. Second dagger, 25. That hits. That is seven points of damage, and my third dagger all the way from New Jersey is a 20.

That hits. Trenton. They were really all ones. That is a 10. 10 damage. All right. So as you just managed to catch yourself on the edge of the ship as it's listing. From this angle, the Wyvern that pushed off the side is now flapping its wings and preparing its claws up to go for another dive attack.

You reach back and your daggers which have returned to your belt. You fling all three as they spiral through the air. The first one strikes its torso, and second one hits it in the neck, and as it rears up looking at you angrily with its fangs bared like it's now changed its direction towards you. The final one, hits it in the head. Yeah!

Clummets backward. That's how we do than we hawk in New Jersey, motherfucker. Uh, all right, Vax. I do want to move, are you good there? I am going to, no, I'm going to sort of jog backwards towards the, I can't see. Who's around the, what burn up at the end quote? Nobody. Nobody over here.

Nobody's at the film. Nobody back? There is a little half-ling- dude. One of the bandits is still there on the side of the ship. Is he hanging on? I'm going to drink it. All right, go for it. Is that the bandit hanging on?

Is that the deal? Technically it's an action to drink it, but it's fine. I'll let you do it. Why not? You're in New Jersey. No, no, I don't want to do that. No, I definitely don't want to do that. I'm gonna run over by, I'm gonna run back by Keila.

Okay. With haste, you get there easily. Kiela, too, was just a buffeting wind cyclone. Uh, all right. Don't be protected by my sweet wind gusts, yo. Okay, take my stamp. Get up to your feet. Yep.

Uh, I'll, uh, I'll, uh, I don't know, guys, what do you, what, what, I could do a lot of. The entire ship is right here listing on the side. Get rid of him. Yeah. Yeah, he's, he's, something amazing. All we've got are two little bandits left out of. Just do the best move you've ever done in your life.

Um, okay. Uh, I'm going to, uh, first I'll do telekinesis again. And I'll do attempt to what I did the first time. I want to do any fancy because whatever and I'll try to rip off the Wyburn's ring, uh, wintz again. Yeah. for its body. Okay. Or one of them if it's easier.

All right, go ahead and make a roll. Yeah, one would do it. True. That is 22. 22. Okay. Go ahead and roll 3D6 points of damage. You don't manage to tear the wing off,

but you do manage to pull its flesh and you could see if it's going to cause the joint where it's attached is now tearing open, revealing bone and plushy tissue beneath. So that'll be nine. That's like the most average. That was like exactly average. 10. And I see that.

I'm like, and I turn to Vax and I go, I like what you were doing earlier. And I spend five sorcerer points. I cast helcinesis again. And I take out eight of the daggers that are in my pouch. And I hover them around me. And then I start towards the Wyverton's where I see it were all bone. and shit and I'm hucking, I don't know, hucking my back and forth, bringing them back and forth, and bringing them back and forth.

Just as you're aware, telcanesis is a concentration spell. You don't have to keep your cast name. Oh, I don't. No. It's just going? Yeah. Oh, well, then fucking that's what's going on. Yeah. I spend five... Not enough to do it again. Because, can I do that all in one action, do that? And then with the daggers? I thought, no, no, no, to do the daggers, you would, like, you would... The top of there are you going to cast the game. The source points to give you another action. That's okay. So, okay, so I did that right. All right. Yeah, so. But to do that, it would, it would, it would. It would. use another expenditure. But yeah, normally you can just concentrate each round

do an action with it. So you just fling all the daggers at it? And I'm pulling them back and forth through that tear in the wing that it just caused. Okay, I'll say go ahead and make four spell attack rolls. So roll a D20 adding your spell attack modifier. Four times? Yeah.

So whatever your spell attack modifier is. So my attack modifier is the spell attack modifier? every time that's uh it 23 24 25 to 6 and that's uh who is that 20 wait is it just the d20 plus the modifier yeah yeah and then uh 18 and plus 29 that's when i turn it that's 30 31 through so wait what was the because i get through plus three and all the tactics well because of gear i'm wearing also um and then seven plus that is 18 19 20 21 and then that is 15 i have no idea what's happening anymore there's a lot of members yeah So my spell attack bonus is 11.

Plus 3 because all the gear that I have apparently on top of this. That goes to my spell attack rules. Which is what this is, right? Right. Your bonus is, it's your proficiency modifier plus your stat modifier, which is your charisma, which is 5, and your provis it's 4, so it would be 9. So how do I have?

Oh, I'm sorry. And you're counting this in. I'm counting this in. So minus 1 from all of those totals. They all still hit. So go ahead and roll 4D4 plus 20. Yeah. 4d4 plus 20.

Each dagger is now being jammed into the creature's open wound through the power of your teleconnected force. That's, what is there? Three and then... Six and seven, that's 13. What's that? Eight. So eight?

It's total 28. Okay, yeah. Okay. Next is plus five each. So 28 points of damage. As its wing is being torn apart, the dagger is like to streak through, many of which are missing its forms. its form, so you're just flinging them all at it. And then as they go straight past it,

you turn the telekinesis back and yank them back through. As they tear through, you see most of the wing is torn open and the flesh is now just exposed to the air, the wind's buffing it around. It's looking extremely rough in its beginning. It's on the ground currently, but it looks like it's not going to be able to fly right now. It is completely incapable of flight with the wave damage.

I'm gonna just hover the knife, all the daggers over the prone dude and like right over his face. All right. keep him there. All right, Grog. I pull myself back up on the ship. Okay, so that's half your movement. You still have 20 feet of movement.

I look up and I see that everyone's got that wife and taken care of and I turn my gaze back to the little half-lainee. I'd like to move to him, please. All right, he is 10 feet up, so you're gonna have to make two athletics checks to leap up towards it in your range. Yes.

Okay. Uh, uh, uh, 20-83. All right, the second one? Yes! Oh, sorry, what's at? 19? All right, so. Like a lumbering barbarian, you get up on a thing,

and then just, hush, hush jump twice, landing next to it. Frizzling, raging in the face. I'm not out, I'll reach and I pick him up by the top of his shirt, give him a sniff, and fucking chuck him off. All right, make another athletics check to try and down. Do I get advantage on strength checks?

But I'm raging? Is it advantage on strength checks? Does it give you bonuses or advantage on strength? Yeah, it's when I rage. Yeah, you would. So yeah, you would have advantage on this. That's even better. That's a 24.

24. All right, so as you stand there with your axe up, you kind of set the axe down, reach out, and grab it. The halfling who you see has this kind of scarred face and it looks really haggard for a halfling. Like it's probably existence is not in the most comfortable places, especially to be out in the middle of the ocean like this. You grab it and for a moment its anger seething turns to sudden fears.

It looks over the side. You're booked up. It just goes plummeting off the side. Yeah. Why did I get in this line of word? Do we in target the last time? Yeah, I think we don't. Don't attack the last, do you just kill the Wyvern.

Weirn. All right, I'm good. All right, Keyleth. Um, so everyone, everyone seems, the only thing that's left is the Wyvern, right? And one little half link that I've got a rope on. Oh, and you've got a work on, rope on? And is the ship still like, ugh.

It's still a little crooked? Yeah, it's still on the side, and it's kind of like slowly rotating us. There's nobody at the helm. Okay, I am my airship form, or air form. I'm gonna fly. over I might go through and I'm gonna kind of use just my air form to lift underneath the boat of the boat and try and stabilize it okay go ahead and make a make an athletics check using the air elemental strength okay use my air dice

um eight and then air using all the force of your elemental air you push and push, but this ship is extremely heavy. And this side of it, all the weight, because the two other sides are given essentially an anti-gravity force from an arcane, all the weight is being pushed into this one corner. Outside of a natural 20, you would not be able to help this at all, unfortunately.

Outside of a natural 20. Yeah. But maybe. You never know. That could have been really epic. That could have been really epic. Cool. This is just okay.

Well, I learned that the boat's heavy as shit. Yeah, you do. Yeah, you do. That's what I learned in this turn. Every shit. One of 20 dimensions, you're awesome right now. Thanks. It's okay.

You essentially one shot at a wyvern. Yeah. You bunny one shot at a wyvern. Oh, it's okay. I don't need, you know, comfort. You Douglas Adderation. Oh, no. I do.

No, I just want to bring it up again. I just want to bring it up again, because I think it's the most ridiculous death to a wyvern ever. That's pretty great. I'm like validation. Okay. This Wyvern, looking at the circumstance, takes off. You're good enough.

You're smart enough. Tries to fly and can't. You can't. You can't fly? No, because its wing is messed up from Tiberius. So it steps around. The only thing it can reach, which is you, Scanlan. Coming at you with a bite and its stinger again,

so you can't use its claws. That is a. And I sing my little cutting words song. I'm getting switch attack. I'm sorry? You can switch attack. Oh, he has two. He's a bite and his stinger.

Oh, it gets the stinger. Okay. The bite is a 22 to hit? Oh, he hits. All right. I take 14 points of piercing damage. Okay. Okay.

And then, it's arm, its entire mouth just opens up and it, clamps down onto your shoulder and torso. As it's holding you in place, you try and pull back as his tail, whips towards you. Go ahead and make your roll. What do I roll? 20? D10 and produce whatever that's whatever the attack is reduced by.

That's Nate. D-10. Yes, that's 10. That's a 10. 10. OK. All right. So it rolled a 24 to hit.

That goes down to 14. My armor class is 15. Yeah. Your armor class is 17. Plus I'm also wearing a necklace, which makes it 17. Your armor class is 17. Oh, snap. So I'm OK.

Yeah, you should change that. Yeah. Well, I rolled the armor and then there was apparently some necklace that I forgot about. Yeah, he's had a plus two and plus the army had a plus three to his AC. Seriously? I mean, it's a natural armor.

I didn't know on this. I don't feel bad about taking the ring. Yeah. Well, fair enough. Who knew? Who knew? So, as it's clamping down on you, it's tail whips in the air.

What are you going, what kind of words are you going to throw? Oh. And you miss me, like the deserts miss the rain. The women who is still clamping down on your body, it's one eye opens up. and goes, you hear an audible, and as its tail swings towards you, it just hits the ground next to you,

slamming into the wood. Tidly distracted by your sudden lack of fear and display of beautiful musical voice, misses you. That ends its turn. Percy, you're up. All right, I'm just, I'm taking out the pepper box. I'm going to turn towards it and just unload. All right, go for it.

Shoot that load, Percy. Finish it. Yes. Oh, my name, no. I didn't. Ten? Total ten. Total ten.

Nope. Oh, no. You're the closer, Percy. 22? Yes. You only get two attacks. I'm using my bonus action. Are you using your action search?

I'm using my action shirt. Okay, so you get four attacks. That misses. And then, uh, 19. That's two hits. Yeah. That's two hits. I was using, I was also using my, uh, sharp.

shooter mode for that so that I can do some extra damage. Next cover box. Number one. Kill all the things. 20 points of damage plus one point of ice damage. All right. It's the ice damage that's going to do it. And the next one is...

It's so chilly. It's a little... 25 points of damage and one point of fire damage. Yeah. Anyone do this? Yeah! The closer! The closer!

Western style, I'm just going to flesh. Fan the fucking hammer. I'm gonna just tear that wing down. So with each success of blast, even the ones that don't immediately impact, the first blast hits and psh explodes across its shoulder joint, as you see the rest of the flesh that Tiberius had already weakened, gets severed entirely, the wing being flung off the side of the ship and disappearing in the wind beneath. As it rears back in pain, the second one hits its side, the third one strikes it, and the other wing,

and as it rears back and pain its mouth open to the sky and this screeching kind of death rattle, the final blast hits it under the chin, leaving a gaping hole under its neck as it, steps back and then tumbles off the edge of the ship. Oh, shit. Wait, wait, wait. Can I catch it as an air elemental

and bring it back up? What? You are underneath the ship currently, you see the wyvern below. You dive for it. Go ahead and make an athletics check. Now look, everyone, we still have one to interrogate. Isn't that nice?

You go try and grab it, but your air form doesn't have quite, and it just swoops through and disappears towards the ocean below. I forgot. As the captain gets up, the other half in which you can see is, dressed in ragged robes, it has cloth wrapped across its face. I kind of pull the arrow so it like rats up in the rope. The guards are there with their weapons drawn. You can, currently there is still the spear

that's jammed in the side that's sparking, causing the whole ship to list. Can I try and get that out? Yeah, as you swing up, you go ahead and manage to ask the animal to form just, and pull the strange thing off the edge of the ship. At which point, the blue stone comes back online and the ship writes itself.

Oh, that's pretty, I've had a prep. something. Yeah, me too. I figured this. Now you know, it's a check on that box now. Yeah, that other one, I'll go check. That other one, we haven't seen any of them. We haven't seen any of them gone for a while.

We haven't seen any of them. All right, so. If they were clever, they didn't leave the room. Well, that's the whole thing. If they were, or this was a, like he said, a distraction. I'm gonna run down and check the box. This, this halfling is currently kind of just

on the side right now, the one guard holding it. Who's going downstairs? I'm going downstairs. And I'll go to the halfling. Liam, where are you at? Where am I? At last. He's in New Jersey.

Last time I spoke, I was by Keeleth. I'm just following her leave. Are you okay, health-wise? I'm all right. All right, so you run over the half-ling. What do you want to do? I would like to pick him up, not chalk him, but pick him up and hold him ever so gently over the side

and say, my mind does seem like a long way down. What the fuck are you doing, attacking his ship? And as he says, I hover the daggers. All right, roll intimidation check with advantage. Because of Tiberius' Is. Don't worry, if you fail, I can intimidate. Do you have a beard today?

He definitely has a beard today. 16. On both roles? 16 on the advantage roll. Oh, got you. Okay. All right, so the half-ling, which you now look, appears to be female.

The cloth kind of drops in from his face. You can see the teeth are kind of broken and rotted. This is not a, a, city-going folk, just kind of, please, please, don't, just, let me live, let me live. Oh, let you live, let you, stop it, stop, you start to answer, you're crying in your grasp.

If you wish to live, answer our giant friend who asked you a rather polite question. What's the question? My hands are so sway, I'm afraid you'll slip if you know, Don't tell me what you were doing attacking this ship. We live in an island below. We usually just hits ships that come through this channel, this pass, pirating, if you will, take money, things that we can and run.

Usually it's just quick hits and go. We couldn't pass up the opportunity. We managed to require a few things to help, and we've only harried one other sky ship. We saw you, we knew there had to be some sort of riches involved. Insight check? Yeah, somebody in it. Uh, 16. 20.

Uh, extremely scared, extremely honest, in a mode of trying to stay alive at this point in time. So nobody hired you? No, no, we haven't been to a city in years. I'll tell you, we have an island below. It's a cavern we live in. We just come up and out. to grab what we can to survive.

Captain Damon, what do you propose we do with this thief pirate? Captain Damon, who's gone back to the ship to try and get it back on course and is currently turning it around. You're perfectly honest. I'd usually throw him overboard. Draw. If you want him, you can catch him. Grug!

What, the captain said he'd throw him over. Her. Her over. It was a poor little girl halfling. Oh wait, I still had the grapple arrow. You do, as the rope's going... No, I'm holding on still, so she's like kind of dangling still? Can I catch you?

Currently, yes. As you look over... Actually... Did she have an arrow through her arm? Yes. In a very painful way, she is currently held by her shoulder blade, which now has...

But it was kind of wrapped around her, so maybe it didn't hurt quite as bad. It hurt pretty bad. It's not not being around this. I pull her up. I look at Grog. Really? What are you thinking of doing?

Really? Pull her up She's bleeding out And is looking pretty rough Well shit Maybe we should have let her drop No no What should we like put her in a prison cell

I don't know what to do with her now that we're Steal her and put her to work She's probably been out of work What do you think? Little one She can replace the garment Maybe brush your teeth It's just kind of like on one knee

Go anything Anything Just don't drop me Looking over her dog again Be afraid of him. Don't make you hear of here. Oh, well, come here. Are we in agreement we are saving this one?

I'm gonna go through her pockets to make sure she's not hiding any luck. To be fair, we did lose one over the edge, so we might need another crew member. That's true. What's your name? Tira. Tira.

Tira. How old are you? I don't know. Oh, that's so sad. She's so sad. in her maybe 20s or 30s. Up close you can see, just a harsh life in the harsh elements.

She looks older than she is, but there's a youthness too. If you can heal her teeth while you're out there. Tierra, empty your pockets. I give her a quick pat down to make sure she's not carrying any daggers or hidden. There are a few rusty hidden blades and a coin purse that contains four gold.

Sweet. I'm taking it. All right. earn your wage on this ship if you behave. I don't. He means he'll throw you over more. You can have a real life here, little one. Yes, your past, this is your future.

And she kind of like slings over towards the doorways that lead into the lower part of the deck as you guys kind of lead Tira in. The captain has regained control of the ship. And you guys headling a check in on the room where the... I'm knocking on the door. All right, just... Dissona. Lady Kima. Lady Kima, hello.

The door opens. And they're still sitting at the back by the box with the weapons that are ready and Keem opens the door. It's everything all right. It's pirates. We've taken care of it. Good, good. And she just kind of rubber in her head. You can see there's a little trickle of blood on her head. Apparently, that's when the ship listed, they all kind of slip in the room. as well.

Do you need anything? Is everything all right? It's fine. And she kind of reaches up and touches her head, and you can see there's a slight warm glow of divine energy and the blood flow stops. That almost feels like cheating. Okay. As long as everything is fine, there was no incidents, nothing unusual? Nothing, nothing. I've kept a very close watch. Excellent. I'll report upstairs then. Very well. Carry on.

Well, really, the box is fine? Everybody seemed fine. They said no, no, no, no events, nothing, nothing to just... There's a freaking net in this freaking room. No, it was trolling over here. Should you inside? I don't know. Guards in a room, I mean, really.

What are they going to do? My insight was the box was still there. That's why I've cast pressed the digitation on the little half-elfth and clean up quick. Okay. I should say anything inside you. She's ha, ha, ha, ha, and watches her form kind of clean up. It feels like little fishes, doesn't it?

Herer. She sounds tickled and scared at the same time, But the clothing cleans up, but still tattered. Yeah. And, you know, Eve, she looks a little cleaner. Most of the dirt's gone, but she still looks weathered. Her skin's darker from a lot of sun. She's mainly working on the smell. Oh, that's taken care.

She kind of looks to you. Thanks. Yeah. A proper bath. Is she you? Yeah, I did. I dropped the elemental farm. All right.

Back up. No longer a tornado. We'll say as you guys all head back underneath the ship to go ahead and write yourselves for the remainder of the journey. We'll call the game. Welcome to Mick Unplugged, the number one podcast for self-improvement
