Starting point is 00:00:00 Ahem. You're listening to the Sandspants Network. Home of comedy, culture, adventures, and ghosts. Previously on Stories of the Greyhill Free Company... All the sort of quests that we've sort of done for Greyhill, if there's any sort of... Anything that just strikes us as odd, because there was a bit of a boon in terms of things being dealt out.
Starting point is 00:00:38 On your way back to the camp, nothing attacks you. There's nothing left alive to bother you here. Well, you head towards the witch. What spells do I know? Maybe some bitter ones for fighting a hag. As you approach, you hear, shh, I hear something. Oh, I get very low to the ground and try and slink away. A knobbly face comes to the window.
Starting point is 00:01:01 As you leave, the two wolves, you can hear them slinking around behind the house obviously searching for you i mean well actually no they don't look like wolves they look like humanoids big humanoids running on all fours you actually don't know what the fuck this is they do not look like wolves wait really yeah has a hag bewitched some folks just to act like i that was all that you are doing? That's all I can really do is just fuck up, I guess. Tabertine sees that despite the fact that you fucked up a lot,
Starting point is 00:01:36 the area around Saren is pretty crowded. So he's going to go in and try to help Big T. Okay. He darts in with his short sword. He makes three attacks. Hit, hit, hit. The jackalope takes no damage. Each blow merely bounces off its fur and skin. Cool.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Huh. He says. Huh. I guess these jackalopes are some kind of magical in nature. I mean, they can imitate human speech. Makes sense. And then it is Zia Mia's turn. Zia Mia does know what they are, but can't talk.
Starting point is 00:02:19 Yes, yes, yes, of course. Zia Mia reaches up to where she would normally grab a mind worm from and produces a spectral whip instead she slashes out with that beautiful it wraps around one of the jackalopes that jackalope needs to make a intelligence saving throw surely they're not that clever
Starting point is 00:02:40 it fails they're drunks they are absolute drunks yes the drunk jackalope takes It fails. They're drunks. They are absolute drunks, yes. The drunk jackalope takes 11 points of damage. And then it is Big T, your turn again. I'm going to go in with my halberd this time. Hopefully this will do some damage to the one that's on me.
Starting point is 00:03:00 You hit with your halberd. You deal 10 points of damage. And it looks like it hurts oh thank goodness hey and what would you like saren to do use dissonant whispers on these wolf men they need to make a wisdom saving throw that uh critical fail they take 46 damage good the jackalope's head explodes the jackalope's body falls backwards and hits the ground. I did not know I could do that. Mamma mia.
Starting point is 00:03:33 The other jackalope, seeing its friend die, turns and runs. Get it. Yeola's turn. It can't tell her. Yeola, well, Yeola's spiritual weapon can't move fast enough to catch it so instead she's going to cast guiding bolt she misses a bolt of magical energy splashes next to where the jackalope was not even where where it was. Next to where it was. Globble and Chantal.
Starting point is 00:04:08 I will try to apologize in panther form. Realize that's a... Ah! And I will try to pounce. I'll charge and pounce the running away jackalope. Unfortunately, while you are faster, because it is moving flat out, you cannot move far enough and attack.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Okay, okay, okay, okay. Well, in that case, I will come out of panther form. You revert back? And I will... Hang on, wait, let me do the sound and then you do the voice. All right, ready? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Right, let's get this jackalope. I'll cast spike growth. All right, you cast Yeah. Right, let's get this jackalope. I'll cast Spike Growth. All right, you cast Spike Growth. I like it. Cass really enjoyed that. It was really good. I didn't want to laugh and ruin it. Well, that happens.
Starting point is 00:04:57 It's not going to take damage until it's moving into or within the area, though. Yep, and I will start chasing after it. But as a human, obviously. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, actually, I guess it doesn't matter that much, but the best way to do that is move as a panther, transform.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Panther, transform, then turn into a man. It won't matter that much. Anyway, Chantel can't do anything. She's blind. She's blind. It's taver-time. It's taver-time. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:05:26 How have we done? Tavertine. Her deck and Tavertine. Missed opportunity. Tavertine. It's Tavertine. Oh. What's his speed?
Starting point is 00:05:39 His speed is a bit faster, but not. Oh, no. Tavertine flies, leapsaps and lands next to him his flying speed is their double speed he lands and can attack all right that's right he can't do any damage he lands and he like tries to make himself look important and puffy, but he can't, unfortunately, do much. Could he use his big wings to throw the bird off his game? No, unfortunately not.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Unfortunately not, no. Zia Mia moves forward and is going to cast a spell that you've not seen before. She takes out a bell and starts ringing it as she goes. Every time the bell rings, you hear it peel with magical energy. They need to make a wisdom saving throw.
Starting point is 00:06:35 They pass. It does... It takes no damage. Oh, well. Save or suck, baby. Big T and Saren, what are you doing? Can I get to hit and attack with my helmet okay um well oh i think that's the only thing i can can i throw my helmet not far enough damn well i don't think i have anything that's actually
Starting point is 00:07:01 going to do any damage so so I might just chill. I reckon Dissonant Whispers at first level from Zorin. That worked the last time. They fail the saving throw. Another head explodes. Wow, is that what happens every time? That's pretty useful for four, yeah? I'll end the spell.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Yeah, that was useful. Very well, killing that jackalot. Go over and inspect the bodies. You kick them over. As they bleed out and die, they slowly turn into humans. Bleed out? Their heads explode. As they die, as their corpses corpses cool they slowly turn into humans oh yeah didn't they used to be wolves ever done this before zia miha writes down on a piece of
Starting point is 00:07:56 paper turns it around and says werewolves exclamation mark exclamation mark. I raise my eyes. No, they... But they were jack... I rack my brains. No, they... But it loped like a... Jackalopes and werewolves can be mistaken all the time. Have I ever heard of a werewolf? No, you've never heard.
Starting point is 00:08:19 You don't know what a werewolf is. A what? Who got bitten by the werewolf? Sarin and Tristan. Zia Mia inspects the wounds. Oh no, they're poisonous. Wait,
Starting point is 00:08:34 are they venomous? Zia Mia writes down on a piece of paper, turns it around and says you're fine. Oh, thank you. So not a venomous type. Sorry about that. I was trying to be as quiet as I could
Starting point is 00:08:50 but I guess I must have made a noise. You woke them up? They got my scent. Yes, and I know the hag heard me. She was talking to someone. I was trying to hear their conversation. I couldn't hear it.
Starting point is 00:09:04 There was two lights, wasn't it? Yeah. So they were probably talking to two people. I'm not quite sure who or what. I tried to get a bit closer to listen, but unfortunately I couldn't hear a word they said. So I tried to get a bit closer, and I must
Starting point is 00:09:20 have been alerted. I must have alerted her to my presence, and then she sent those after me. I thought they were just wolves. Right, well, I guess you can... What do I know about werewolves? Did she, like, enthrall them? Like, keeping them as pets seems strange, right?
Starting point is 00:09:38 You know nothing about werewolves. Oh, right, no, I know nothing. I know about jackalopes. ZiaMia writes down on a piece of paper, turns it around, and shows it to you. It says they're just kind of people. Yeah, and she was keeping them as pets. Why did they do what she told her? She shrugs.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Yeah. Hmm. I guess we inspect the werewolves, see if they've got any loot. No, they have nothing on them. I hate this low loot game. Well, they wouldn't have anything on them. This is their house. But they're treasure pouches.
Starting point is 00:10:15 When you're walking into your backyard, do you take your treasury with you? Sometimes we have a treasure. Yes, yes, yes. I have my iPhone on my back pocket. Well, you find their iPhones. Good luck getting treasure. Yes, yes, yes. I have my iPhone on my back pocket. Well, you find their iPhones. Good luck getting reception. And a wallet full of my credit card. You don't always walk into the backyard with your wallet.
Starting point is 00:10:38 If you're in a rush, if you think someone's hopped the fence, sure, you'll take your phone. But on the way out, you're not like i'll need my wallet phone well adam that's that's that's couldn't that's thinking that i even have taken my wallet out of my pants so well when i go into my backyard looking for an intruder i am not thinking ah my wallet just in case the intruder wants to see your ID. Or if they're trying to rob you and you're like, oh, no, I've only got card. Do you have Square? I can PayPal you.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Venmo? Venmo? Venmo? Have us buy you coffee. All right. Well, so, yeah, I'm not quite sure when we can head back there. I think the element of surprise might be a bit gone. Everyone kind of nods.
Starting point is 00:11:25 I don't know how we're going to get in if we can't even be quieter than the cat. Yeah. I'm guessing there was something. Do I think I was just a bit loud or was there like an alarm bell or like a ward? But they were asleep. Oh, I meant for the hag. Oh, for the hag? No, you were like trying to be quiet,
Starting point is 00:11:42 but it did happen at the same moment that you made some noise. Like you would have been very quiet walking through the brush and stuff like that, but her noticing you did coincide with you walking over a patch of ground that just coincidentally cracked or rumbled a little under your feet. Had a twig or something. I think I just wasn't as quiet as I would have liked to have. Or perhaps there was an alarm spout. I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:12:10 So we might be able to get there and approach from different directions. But again, at least we're not having to deal with that. I point to the corpses. I think it's a good plan. If we all come from a different direction, she can only go after one of us,
Starting point is 00:12:25 and then the other three of us can help. Sorry, are there more than four directions? Oh, right, the directions were the – okay, sorry. I thought you were talking about people. Yes, well, we could stealthily head back there and try to approach from at least three different directions, if not four. Everyone nods. They seem to like this plan.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Yeah. Shall we speak up into how many of us do we have? There are seven of you. Maybe three. We go in three different directions. And that way she comes after one of us is pretty far away from the other two. Yes. That's what I was going to say.
Starting point is 00:13:02 us is pretty far away from the other two. Yes, well, I was going to say, we could probably go into all four if Tavitine flies over and takes them from that particular. So Tavitine is sort of like forming the
Starting point is 00:13:16 back of the attack. And perhaps yourself and I will come from this direction. I point to the direction the dogs came from. Yes, yes. So you and Sirin, and maybe... Let's see...
Starting point is 00:13:33 Who do the other people want to be working with, I guess, in each direction? I guess Chantel and Yayola want to... Yeah, well, I'm wondering if they want to work together or if they prefer to be like, no, no, no, you go there and I'll go there. Chantel and Yayola are happy to work together or if they prefer to be like no no you know you go there chantelle and yayola are happy to work together um and yeah and then me and uh um zamir will go from the other direction well you move your way i assume not really attempting stealth that much oh no no no stealthily yeah we'll try and be sneaky it's just so that if she sees one person first she's
Starting point is 00:14:01 distracted and then we start attacking. So I guess the front of the spear, as it were, that should probably be either Big T or Chantel? Well, who nominates? Chantel says, I'll do it. What do you mean, front of the spear? I was going to say, tip of the spear.
Starting point is 00:14:20 The thrust, the main point, the main, like, the tip of the spear is kind of like an expression that often means like, the first in, or like the main point, the main like... The tip of the spear is kind of like an expression that often means like the first in or like the main body of a force. I thought we're coming from three different directions. Like the houses surrounded. The tip of the spear would still kind of refer, I suppose, in this context would refer to the people who are going straight
Starting point is 00:14:40 towards the place and likely to meet it first. Yeah. Okay. It's not a perfect analogy here because, yeah, you are flanking from two different directions. It's like four. Four, yes, you're right. How about we use a pitch like a trident, shall we say?
Starting point is 00:14:57 It will be the middle prong. A trident while you spit in their eye. That's taver time. Taver time. God time that's so good yes so Chantal will kind of I guess take the brunt of it
Starting point is 00:15:14 oh time flies for tavern time it's so good it makes sense I don't know why one of us is making ourselves known I thought the idea was to be as sneaky as possible In the hopes we all get there at the same time
Starting point is 00:15:31 And if one gets caught then we attack Well we have to attack eventually And it's a house A lot of us aren't ranged A lot of us aren't ranged I thought the aim was that we all sneak in from opposite directions So the Sorry let's Sorry everybody the aim was that we all sneak in from opposite directions. So the...
Starting point is 00:15:45 Sorry, let's... Okay. Sorry, everybody. Wait, we need to just... You see two lights bobbing from the hut coming towards you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And now a quick word from our sponsors. Hey, so you love yourself some D&D. Can I offer you
Starting point is 00:16:03 some more? I thought I could. Let me introduce you to my good friend, Emile from Dice Paper Roll. Hey, Cass. Thanks heaps for having me on the show. Long time listener, first time on it. So it's a real pleasure and a treat to be here, so thanks. It is a pleasure and a treat to have you.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Now, we have a little clip we'd like to show you from our show, Dice Paper Roll. We've just completed the Curse of Strahd campaign. You ever play with vampires? Ever fuck with vampires, Cass? In my personal life, every day. Sure. Not in D&D, though. Never crossed that threshold.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Oh, well, you know. Never been invited in. If you're ever interested in playing Curse of Strahd, then listening to our show won't provide any spoilers because we're very, very, very far from the book. So this is a little clip that we'd like to show you. We're in a giant skull floating upside down, obviously. Oh, as you do. Of course.
Starting point is 00:16:55 It's a flying giant skull, of course. Belongs to Baba Yaga, no big deal. And we are attempting a river rescue for some of our other party members who are in the drink. So, yeah, that's that. Let's have a listen. Yeah. The light in the sky wheels around and you see it come back towards you.
Starting point is 00:17:15 I just realized I haven't moved this out of second gear. And he moves it to, like, fifth and just goes, like, three times as fast as they speed back along the course of the river back towards where the party are. Quick! Come out the bar! You can do it! You can do it!
Starting point is 00:17:40 Oh, shit, I think they're coming back. Do you guys hear a mosquito? Yeah, something. It sounds like it's high-pitched. It's fast. It's coming to us. Oh, my God! All right, Sasha, what are you doing?
Starting point is 00:17:58 Fuck. Well, that was great. Now, if I were me and I am and I wanted more, which I do, how would I get more Dice Paper Roll in my life? Oh, well, thank you very much, Cass. There are a few ways. You could jump on our website, dicepaperroll.com. That is roll with an E, of course, as in role play,
Starting point is 00:18:20 because two puns are better than one. I love it because for me, I heard the name first, then I saw it written down. So I got the joy of a pun twice. It's a twofer. It's a twofer. We've also got some very exciting shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival this week

We're doing shows at Friday night, 10.30pm at Bard's Apothecary, Saturday night, also at 10.30pm at Bard's Apothecary, as well as a cheeky matinee on the Saturday Arvo in Carlton.

Starting point is 00:19:07 Oh, yeah. It's been going really well. Comedy Fest is a great time. So if you're in Melbourne, then do come on down. We're also at Dice Paper Roll on all our socials. So check us a cheeky following if you feel like it. I reckon you should. Thank you so much for coming in, Emil.
Starting point is 00:19:20 I want to hear more about this river rescue. So we will see you guys next week. for coming in, Emil. I want to hear more about this river rescue, so we will see you guys next week. Some lights are coming towards us. Team? Everyone just kind of makes themselves ready. No one's really
Starting point is 00:19:35 sure what to expect. There's nothing to hide around, is there? No, there's no features. I suppose it would be Big T and Ch chantelle up the front everyone else kind of behind them i guess uh uh can can can taba time uh fly up and just kind of hover i don't think he can hover no he can fly up though and he can kind of like slowly circle but that's about it okay because you know, him landing on whoever this might be.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Oh, what a move by Tavit. What a great time had by Tavitime. Out of the darkness looms two figures. They resolve into what looks to be serfs or peasants, locals. They both hold torches. One of them has a club in one hand. The other one
Starting point is 00:20:22 has a dagger in their other hand. They look scared to see you. Hello? Who is you? Who is you? We're knights from the local area, he says. I don't need a role. They're not knights.
Starting point is 00:20:38 They're lying. So are we. No, you ain't. You ain't got any of the regalia overnight. Neither do you. My, uh... Well, we're off-duty, isn't we? We're not. If you're off-duty...
Starting point is 00:20:54 You gotta get out of here. You gotta clear off. I thought you were off-duty. Why couldn't you tell us what to do? Off-duty doesn't mean no authority. Oh, not to another knight, it does. You're not knights. We know does. You're not knights. We know that. You're not knights.
Starting point is 00:21:06 We know that. You weren't at the last knight meeting. Well, you got to clear off or we're going to fight you. With what? The club and dagger? Yeah. You don't want to fight us. I can see you don't want to fight us.
Starting point is 00:21:20 There's so many of us. Hey, do you know what? Do you know what? I give you a deal. You ready? They don't say anything. They just kind of look at each other okay so i'm guessing that you have come out to fight us to the death and um that's that's bad for you because you'll be the one who dies so if you run away we'll say we killed you and you're free do you want some gold are you gonna take some gold with you the one with the club who has been talking to you so far leans over as the
Starting point is 00:21:52 one with the dagger steps forward and like whispers something into his ear they have like a short conversation and then the guy at the club kind of like you can see him like he's like psyching himself up he tries to take a swing at you that's so embarrassing i'll give you 20 gold he misses do you want 20 gold then did you go away this is one of the saddest fights he swings at you again he misses again sorry T, do you want to back of your spear maybe just knock him out or something? He seems to be wanting a fight.
Starting point is 00:22:31 Are you sure you want a fight? I don't think you want to and you don't have to. I give you some gold and you can go into town and start a new life. He like works himself up into a fury and swings. He messes. Or like you just catch the blow and throw it back.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Saren's got a charm person spell. Didn't she just... Do you want to waste a spell when we're fighting a bigger hag? I don't want to kill them. The guy with the dagger screams and charges forwards attempting to stab Chantal just I think hit them with the back of your club or something Chantal was not expecting
Starting point is 00:23:13 that and so she doesn't she forgets to raise her shield to defend herself the dagger plunges into the armor and it doesn't touch Chantal but for a second you all are like oh shit and then plunges into the armor, and it doesn't touch Chantel, but for a second, you all are like, oh shit.
Starting point is 00:23:28 And then the dagger comes back out, and you can see that there's just a little puncture mark in the armor, but no actual damage. Chantel says, right, that's enough. She grabs the dagger and slams this guy's fist into his face. It's successful. She hits the guy with his
Starting point is 00:23:50 own fist and dagger. Can I try and do the same thing with the club guy? I assume non-lethal. Try and do this non-lethally. Kind of maybe acted a little bit in anger and that attack was not non-lethal. The guy staggers back screaming with a dagger in his his own dagger in his eye he falls into the dirt oh oh chantelle oh that was okay i'm gonna address club man now take your friend and please go
Starting point is 00:24:20 you can fix him oh you're not talking you You're talking to him. No, you hit. I'm going to assist the friend. He looks at his fallen friend, drops his torch, grabs his club in both hands, and screaming swings at Chantal. Oh, my God. He hits Chantal. In the back of the head, she staggers forwards. He deals Chantal.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Oh, you're going to die. This is very bad for you. I'm so sorry. I can't even be sorry right now. Chantel cuts the man down with her warhammer. Nine points of damage. She hits him in the side of the head.
Starting point is 00:24:58 He falls backwards and lies still in the dirt. Is he instantly dead or is he bleeding out? That would be instantly dead or is he bleeding out? That would be instantly dead. He knocks his head around and he falls over. Yola swears. She shoves past Chantal,
Starting point is 00:25:18 moves to the one who is dying or dead, sorry. Wait, wait, wait, no, hang on, hang on. Are you, is she angry? No, she tries to stabilize him, but he is already dead. Yayola looks at Chantal and says, what the fuck do you think you're doing? Chantal, like, slowly calms down. Her anger had clearly gotten the better of her there. She was very shocked and scared, I guess,
Starting point is 00:25:39 when she got nearly stabbed. And then it just, it would have calmed down after she had stabbed that guy, but instead she got hit and took damage. Oh, it's fair enough. Yeah, look. Yes, look, I'll also go over and help Eola stabilize the knife-headed man. You managed to prevent the other guy from dying, but his friend is dead. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Oh, so sorry for your friend. He's unconscious at this point. I say it is unconscious body. Right, that was unexpected. You okay, Chantal? Chantal is about to respond, and then Yayola slaps her. Whoa. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:23 She was, I think it's fair. I think it's fair. I think that's allowed. Player-centric morality. She was taken by surprise. I think he tried to kill her. And he would have tried to get her. We tried reasoning. Yaiola grabs Chantel's armor, drags her in close, and then whispers something into her ear.
Starting point is 00:26:49 Chantel wears a helmet, so it's hard to see her expression, but she looks fucking told off. She looks ashamed. I ignore that. I don't think that's my business. I just, yeah, I awkwardly don't engage with that. That's not for us. That's not for us. So we continue with the attack?
Starting point is 00:27:08 Yes, we continue with the plan. I'll go around. Is this boy going to be okay? Yayola checks him a second time. He may be safe to leave here for now. I think we should deal with the hag and then come back for him. I tuck maybe a couple of gold in his pocket. That'll fix it.
Starting point is 00:27:28 Yeah, well, we did say... I promise, 20. Yes. Off we head to the... Everybody okay to continue with the plan? Yes. Everyone slowly nods. There's like an awkwardness in the party, but nonetheless.
Starting point is 00:27:43 I approach it with too much vigor trying to get everyone pepped back up like come on guys we're gonna have so much fun with all this revenge we gotta still have the fun come on guys all right you attempt the the flanking maneuver you're going to do last time yeah all right everyone approaches the house eventually it becomes like there are lights on at the house and it becomes very difficult to actually keep stealth. Would you attempt to and then maybe peer in through a window? No.
Starting point is 00:28:14 You mean no opposition all the way to the house? Are we around 60 feet from the house? Sure. Then Serin will Enact shatter On the house The house? Or is the house smaller than 10 feet? The house is bigger than 10 feet
Starting point is 00:28:32 What do you mean? Do you want to break down a wall? What's the plan? I want to shatter the lady in the house Alright, so you just cast shatter inside? But if the house is bigger than 10 foot No, I mean like you could probably The house is bigger than 10 foot But you could try, that might, you could probably, if the house is bigger than 10 foot, but you could try, that might work, you might get them.
Starting point is 00:28:47 Can we see where the light's on? Does it look like? There are several lights inside. You can't see inside, though. Not yet, at least. Not from 60 feet, especially. All right. I mean, Chantal, a syringe could still cast it, though,
Starting point is 00:29:00 and target the inside of the house, and maybe if she gets the right 10 feet of the house. Yeah, did we have a plan as we were walking up to once we get there, if the hag doesn't come out of the house, what would the plan be? Are we, like, just knocking, charging in, calling out? Get a killer at our home, I reckon. No, we'll defer to Chantel. Chantel, how would you like to kill?
Starting point is 00:29:23 Well, you're all in separate groups right now. As we're walking up with everybody. Oh, I see. I'm assuming we would have had to, hence before the two boys who are, well, now one boy came down. It was like, well, there seems to be a bit of a miscommunication in terms of points of the spear. So what exactly is our tactic once we have the health surrounded? Would have been at least a somewhat discussion, if not a
Starting point is 00:29:50 Well, as Chantal's party in this instance, she's the one who wants to kill. Well, Yayola. It's Yayola's party. She's the one who wants to kill. I think Yayola should get to do the killing, but we can help shake her around. Yayola, one who wants to kill. I think Yayola should get to do the killing,
Starting point is 00:30:05 but we can help shake her around. Yayola, do you want to kill her inside of the home or outside of the home? I don't know. As we approach, I currently don't know that she won't just come out and attack us. If she comes out and she's hostile, of course we're going to fight her.
Starting point is 00:30:23 I don't know what other eventualities we should be prepared for. So if they don't come out of the house and we have them surrounded, what do we do? I don't know. I guess maybe go in and get them? So Rin can make the house shake. Sure, I guess. And we'll just range make the house shake. Sure, I guess. All right, so that, and we'll just range attack the house? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:49 We'll try and let her. Sure. Your heart's nodded. It seems like your heart's nodded. Do you still want to do this? You know what? Yes. Let's fucking break this house in.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Oh, yes. Break the house. If they don't come out, we're going to huff and we're going to puff and we're gonna blow that house in i'm going to rage now no no no no no okay eight wow that was hard. I was at least in three. An extra walloping. Play before you roll to hit, but if
Starting point is 00:31:31 you do hit, it counts as a critical. So before you do that, please don't. Remember the one where you jumped into a... Remember the hole? Remember the hole? Remember the hole? That was good. Good times.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Had by all, I think. With a heavy head and muttering about how I miss Falmorn, we start crunching towards him. Remember how they got eaten? Etten? Whatever. Remember how you two have been the only survivors and that's getting suspicious?
Starting point is 00:32:08 And maybe now Greyhill doesn't trust you anymore? And they're pretty certain that maybe you're killing and eating your friends? Yeah, makes sense. Oh yeah, the goblins came and killed them. Those goblins that just appeared out of nowhere and disappeared into nothing? Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:32:29 But don't worry, we have his book like you know how a serial killer keeps mementos yeah um of their kills yeah but we're honoring our friends that's why we have this book yeah yeah it's not about um it's it's about remembering the the life not the the beautiful delicious kill anyway you approach the house obviously no one comes out are you going to try and cast shatter in the house from 60 feet as as soon as you come into range yes it's sorry the groups are sarin and tree stump yes chantal and yayola yep have her time circling over head and who's with you glopple uh zamiya okay you hear that ear splitting shattering sound inside which i guess is kind of everyone else's cue to begin what does everyone else do zamiya what's what do you get zamiya to do? Does she have an area of attack built to you?
Starting point is 00:33:27 Not at 60 feet, I don't think. She could cast Earth Tremor, actually, on the building itself. Okay. Needs to be pretty close for that. Oh, she does too. Oh, yeah. I guess she will
Starting point is 00:33:43 start going a bit closer and kind of almost hold her action, as it were, in terms of spells, until we can actually see this river witch. And I will... If I cast Summon a Beast, that lasts. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:34:04 I'll summon a beastial spirit last... Yes, yes, yes, yes. I'll summon a beastly spirit. You move in. As you move in, when you get, like, incredibly close, like, right up to the building, the hag bursts out the front door. Foolish. Idiot. Let's go to
Starting point is 00:34:20 initiative. You're the foolish idiot. Now we have a target. No. No. No, you don't know what she's talking about hey could i please use my choose where i go in initiative item you certainly could where would you like to go first all right you're acting with sarin yes um global would you also like to choose where you go in initiative um I guess I'll go second. Yeah, I'd love to as well. You'll go where you were rolled.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Oh, yeah, yeah, okay, all right. I mean, I really didn't mind either way. Sorry, that was just a mean joke. You were going to say yes, and I was going to say, oh, wouldn't we all? But instead you. No, I get that now. Like, I had no real preference. Initially I thought maybe this was a trick.
Starting point is 00:35:06 So like, yes, you can go second. Ha-ha, you've attacked it, and now... Ha-ha, going first is what she wants. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just working out, you know.
